Matthew 13 Cross References - Coverdale

¹ The same daye wente Iesus out of ye house, and sat by the see syde, ² & moch people resorted vnto him: so yt he wete in to a shyppe and satt him downe, and all the people stode vpo the shore. ³ And he spake many thinges vnto the in symilitudes, sayenge: Beholde, The sower wente forth to sowe: ⁴ and as he sowed, some fell by the waye syde: Then came the foules, & ate it vp. ⁵ Some fell vpon stony grounde, & anone it spronge vp, because it had no depth of earth: ⁶ But whan the Sonne arose, it caught heate: and for so moch as it had no rote, it withred awaye. ⁷ Some fell amoge the thornes, & the thornes grewe vp, and choked it. ⁸ Some fell vpo good groude, & gaue frute: some an hundreth folde, some sixtie folde, some thirtie folde. ⁹ Who so hath eares to heare, let hi heare. ¹⁰ And the disciples came vnto him, and sayde: Why speakest thou to the by parables? ¹¹ He answered and sayde vnto the: Vnto you it is geuen to knowe the mystery of the kingdome of heauen, but vnto them it is not geuen. ¹² For whoso hath, vnto him shal be geue, and he shal haue abundaunce. But who so hath not, from him shalbe taken awaye, eue that he hath. ¹³ Therfore speake I vnto the by parables, for with seynge eyes they se not, & with hearinge eares they heare not, for they vnderstonde it not. ¹⁴ And in them is fulfilled ye prophecie of Esay, which sayeth: Ye shal heare in dede, and shal not vnderstonde: and with seinge eyes shal ye se, and not perceaue. ¹⁵ For ye hert of this people is waxed grosse, & their eares are thick of hearige, & their eyes haue they closed, lest they shulde once se wt ye eyes, & heare wt the eares, & vnderstode wt the hert, & turne, that I might heale them. ¹⁶ But blessed are youre eyes, for they se: & youre eares, for they heare. ¹⁷ Verely I saye vnto you: Many prophetes & righteous men haue desyred to se ye thinges that ye se, and haue not sene the: and to heare the thinges that ye heare, and haue not herde the. ¹⁸ Heare ye therfore the parable of the sower. ¹⁹ Whan one heareth ye worde of the kyngdome, and vnderstondeth it not, the euell man cometh, and plucketh it awaye that is sowne in his hert: & this is he yt is sowne by the waye syde. ²⁰ But he yt is sowne in the stonye grounde, is this: wha one heareth the worde, & anone with ioye receaueth it: ²¹ neuertheles he hath no rote i him, but endureth for a season: wha trouble & persecucion aryseth because of the worde, immediatly he his offended. ²² As for him that is sowne amonge ye thornes, this is he: Wha one heareth the worde, & the carefulnes of this worlde, & the disceatfulnes of riches choke the worde, & so he becometh vnfrutefull. ²³ But he yt is sowne in the good grounde, is this: whan one heareth the worde, and vnderstondeth it, and bringeth forth frute: and some geueth an hudreth folde, some sixtie folde, and some thirtie folde. ²⁴ Another parable put he forth vnto the, & sayde: The kyngdome of heaue is like vnto a man, yt sowed good sede in his felde. ²⁵ But whyle me slepte, there came an enemye, and sowed tares amonge ye wheate, & wente his waye. ²⁶ Now wha the blade was sproge vp & brought forth frute, the ye tares appeared also. ²⁷ Then came the seruautes to ye housholder, & sayde vnto him: Syr, sowdest not thou good sede in yi felde? Fro whece the hath it tares? ²⁸ He sayde vnto the: that hath the enemye done. The sayde ye seruautes: wilt thou then yt we go & wede the out? ²⁹ He sayde: No, lest whyle ye wede out ye tares, ye plucke vp the wheate also wt the. ³⁰ Let the both growe together tyll the haruest, and in tyme of haruest I wil saye vnto the reapers: Gather ye tares first, & bynde the in sheeues to be bret: but gather the wheate in to my barne. ³¹ Another parable put he forth vnto the, and sayde: The kyngdome of heauen is like vnto a grane of mustarde sede, which a man toke, and sowed it in his felde. ³² Which is the leest amonge all sedes. But whan it is growne, it is the greatest amonge herbes, and is a tre: so that the byrdes vnder the heauen come and dwell in the braunches of it. ³³ Another parable spake he vnto the: The kyngdome of heaue is like vnto leue, which a woman toke, and myxte it amonge thre peckes of meele, tyll all was leuended. ³⁴ All soch thinges spake Iesus vnto ye people by parables, & without parables spake he nothinge vnto the: ³⁵ yt the thinge might be fulfilled, which was spoke by ye prophet, sayenge: I wil open my mouth in parables, and wil speake out the secretes from the begynnynge of the worlde. ³⁶ Then sent Iesus the people awaye, and came home. And his disciples came vnto hi, and sayde: Declare vnto us ye parable of ye tares of ye felde. ³⁷ Iesus answered, and sayde vnto them: He that soweth the good sede, is the sonne of man: ³⁸ the felde is the worlde: ye good sede are the childre of the kyngdome: The tares are the children of wickednes: ³⁹ ye enemye that soweth the, is the deuell: ye haruest is the ende of the worlde: ye reapers are ye angels. ⁴⁰ For like as ye tares are weded out, and brent in the fyre, eue so shal it go in ye ende of this worlde. ⁴¹ The sonne of man shal sende forth his angels, & they shal gather out of his kingdome all thinges yt offende, & the yt do iniquyte, ⁴² & shal cast the in to a fornace of fyre, there shalbe waylinge and gnasshinge of teth. ⁴³ The shal the righteous shyne as the Sonne, in the kyngdome of their father. Who so hath eares to heare, let him heare. ⁴⁴ Agayne, the kingdome of heauen is like vnto a treasure hyd in the felde, which a ma founde and hid it, and for ioye therof he wete & solde all yt he had, and bought yt felde. ⁴⁵ Agayne, the kyngdome of heauen is like vnto a marchaut, yt sought good pearles: ⁴⁶ & wha he had founde a precious pearle, he wete and solde all that he had, & bought it. ⁴⁷ Agayne, ye kyngdome of heaue is like vnto a nett cast in to ye see, wherwith are take all maner of fyshes: ⁴⁸ & wha it is ful, me drawe it out vnto ye shore, & sytt & gather ye good i to the vessels, but cast the bad awaye. ⁴⁹ So shal it be also in ye ende of ye worlde. The angels shal go out, & seuer the bad fro the righteous, ⁵⁰ & shal cast the in to a fornace of fyre, there shalbe waylinge & gnasshinge of teth. ⁵¹ And Iesus sayde vnto them: Haue ye vnderstode all these thinges? They sayde: Yee LORDE. ⁵² Then sayde he vnto the: Therfore euery scribe taught vnto ye kingdome of heauen, is like an houssholder, which bryngeth out of his treasure thinges new and olde. ⁵³ And it came to passe wha Iesus had ended these parables, he departed thence, ⁵⁴ and came in to his owne coutre, and taught the in their synagoges: in so moch, that they were astonnyed and sayde: Whece cometh soch wyssdome & power vnto him? ⁵⁵ Is not this the carpeters sonne? Is not his mother called Mary? and his brethre Iames & Ioses, and Symon and Iude? ⁵⁶ And are not all his sisters here with us? Whence hath he the all these thinges? ⁵⁷ And they were offended at him. But Iesus sayde vnto the: A prophet is nowhere lesse sett by, the at home & amonge his owne. ⁵⁸ And he dyd not many miracles there, because of their vnbeleue.

¹⁵ And I wyll put enemyte betwene the and the woman, and betwene yi sede and hir sede. The same shal treade downe thy heade, and thou shalt treade him on the hele.

¹⁸ Thornes and thistles shalt it beare vnto the, and thou shalt eate the herbes of the felde.

¹⁰ Then Lot lift vp his eyes, and behelde all the countre rounde aboute Iorda, that it was a plenteous countre of water. For before the LORDE destroyed Sodoma and Gomorra, it was rounde aboute Zoar, euen as the pleasaunt garden of the LORDE, and as the londe of Egipte. ¹¹ Then Lot chose all the coastes of Iorda, and toke his iourney towarde ye East. And so the one brother departed from the other. ¹² Abram dwelt in the lande of Canaan, and Lot in the cities of the same coastes, and pitched his tent towarde Sodome. ¹³ But ye men of Sodome were wicked, and synned exceadingly agaynst the LORDE.

⁸ The trees wente to anointe a kinde ouer them, and sayde vnto the Olyue tre: Be thou oure kynge. ⁹ But the Olyue tre answered them: Shall I go and leaue my fatnesse (which both God and men commende in me) and go to be puft vp aboue the trees? ¹⁰ Then sayde the trees vnto the fygge tre: Come thou and be kynge ouer vs. ¹¹ But the fygge tre sayde vnto the: Shal I leaue my swetnes and my good frute, and go to be puft vp aboue the trees? ¹² Then sayde the trees vnto the vyne: Come thou and be oure kinge. ¹³ But the vyne sayde vnto them: Shal I leaue my swete wyne, which reioyseth God and men, and go to be puft vp aboue the trees? ¹⁴ The sayde all the trees vnto the thorne busshe: Come thou, and be kynge ouer vs. ¹⁵ And the thorne busshe sayde vnto the trees: Yf it be true, yt ye anoynte me to be kynge ouer you, the come, and put youre trust vnder my shadowe. Yf no, then go fyre out of the thorne busshe, & cosume ye Ceder trees of Libano. ¹⁶ Yf ye haue done right now and iustly, yt ye haue made Abimelech to be kynge: and yf ye haue done well vnto Ierubaal and to his house, and haue done vnto him as he deserued vnto you. ¹⁷ Which (euen my father) foughte for youre sakes, and ioperde his lyfe, to delyuer out of the Madianites hade, ¹⁸ eue you, which are rysen vp this daye agaynst my fathers house, & haue slaine his childre, thre score personnes & ten vpon one stone, and haue made you a kynge (euen Abimelech the sonne of his handmaide) ouer the men at Sichem, for so moch as he is youre brother. ¹⁹ Yf ye haue done right now and iustly vnto Ierubaal and his house this daye, then reioyse ouer Abimelech, and let him reioyse ouer you. ²⁰ Yf no, then go fyre out from Abimelech, and cosume the men of Sichem and the house of Millo: And fyre go out also fro the men of Sichem, and from the house of Millo, and consume Abimelech.

¹² Samson sayde vnto them: I wil expresse a darke sentence vnto you, yf ye expounde me the same with in these seuen dayes of the feast, I wyll geue you thirtye shertes, and thirtie chaunge of raymente. ¹³ But yf ye can not expounde it, then shall ye geue me thirtie shertes, & thirtie chaunge of rayment.

¹ And the LORDE sent Nathan vnto Dauid. Whan he came to him, he tolde him: There were two men in one cite, the one riche, the other poore. ² The riche man had very many shepe and oxen: ³ but the poore man had nothinge saue one litle shepe, which he had boughte, and norished it, so that it grewe vp with him and his children together. It ate of his bred, and dranke of his cuppe, and slepte in his lappe, and he helde it as a doughter. ⁴ But whan there came a straunger vnto the riche man, he spared to take of his awne shepe & oxen (to prepare oughte for the straunger that was come vnto him) and toke the poore mans shepe, and prepared it for the man that was come vnto him. ⁵ The was Dauid wroth with greate displeasure agaynst that man, and sayde vnto Nathan: As truly as the LORDE lyueth, the man that hath done this, is the childe of death. ⁶ The shepe also shal he make good foure folde, because he hath done soch a thinge, and not spared it. ⁷ Then sayde Nathan vnto Dauid: Thou art euen the man. Thus sayeth the LORDE the God of Israel: I haue anoynted the to be kynge ouer Israel, and delyuered the out of the hande of Saul,

²⁰ Gehasi the seruaunt of Eliseus ye man of God thoughte: beholde, my lorde hath spared Naama this Syrian, so that he hath not taken from him yt which he broughte: As truly as ye LORDE lyueth, I wil rune after him, & take somthinge of him. ²¹ So Gehasi folowed Naaman. And wha Naaman sawe yt he ranne after him, he lighte downe from the charet to mete him, & sayde: Are all thinges well? ²² He sayde: Yee. But my lorde hath sent me, & caused to saye vnto the: Beholde, there are now come to me fro mount Ephraim two yonge men of the prophetes childre, geue them a talete of siluer (I praye the) & two chaunge of rayment. ²³ Naama saide: Go to, take two taletes. And he copelled him, & bande two talentes in two bagges, and two chaunge of rayment, and delyuered it vnto two of his seruauntes, which bare it before him. ²⁴ And whan he came in ye darcke, he toke it from their handes, & layed it a syde in the house, & let the men go. ²⁵ And whan they were gone their waye, he stode before his lorde. And Eliseus sayde vnto him: Whence commest thou Gehasi? He sayde: Thy seruaunt wente nether hither ner thither. ²⁶ But he sayde vnto him: Wente not my hert wt the, whan the man turned backe from his charet to mete the? Now thou hast take the syluer & the rayment, olyue trees, vynyardes, shepe, oxen, seruauntes & maydens. ²⁷ But the leprosy of Naaman shal cleue vnto the & to thy sede for euer. Then wete he forth from him leporous as snowe.

² And Ioas dyd that which was right in the sight of the LORDE, as longe as Ioiada the prest lyued.

⁶ Then the kynge called Ioiada the pryncipall, and sayde vnto him: Why lokest thou not vnto the Leuites, yt they bringe in from Iuda and Ierusalem, the colleccion which Moses the seruaunt of the LORDE appoynted to be gathered amoge Israel for the Tabernacle of witnes?

¹⁴ And whan they had perfourmed this, they brought the resydue of the money before the kynge and Ioiada, wherof there were made vessels for the house of the LORDE, vessels for the ministracion and burntofferinge, spones and ornamentes of golde and siluer. And they offred burntofferynges allwaye in the house of the LORDE, as longe as Ioiada lyued.

⁶ which was a quycke scrybe in the lawe of Moses, which the LORDE God of Israel dyd geue. And ye kynge gaue him all that he requyred, acordinge to the hande of the LORDE his God vpon him.

¹⁰ For E?dras prepared his hert to seke the lawe of the LORDE, and to do it, and to teach the precepte & iudgment in Israel.

²¹ I kynge Artaxerses haue commaunded all the treasurers beyonde the water, yt loke what so euer E?dras the prest and scrybe in the lawe of the God of heaue, requyreth of you, that ye fulfyll the same diligently,

⁹ The rightuous wil kepe his waye, and he yt hath cleane handes, wil euer be stronger & stronger.

²⁸ when yee saye: Why do not we persecute him? we haue founde an occasion agaynst him.

⁸ What hope hath ye Ypocrite, though he haue greate good, and though God geue him riches after his hertes desyre? ⁹ Doth God heare him the sooner, whe he crieth vnto him in his necessite? ¹⁰ Hath he soch pleasure & delyte in the Allmightie, that he darre allwaye call vpon God?

¹⁸ There is nothinge so worthy, or so excellet, as once to be named vnto her: for parfecte wy?dome goeth farre beyonde the all.

¹ O blessed is ye man, yt goeth not in the councell of ye vngodly: yt abydeth not in the waye off synners, & sytteth not in ye seate of the scornefull. ² But delyteth in the lawe of ye LORDE, & exercyseth himself in his lawe both daye and night. ³ Soch a ma is like a tre plated by ye watersyde, yt brigeth forth his frute in due season. His leeues shal not fall off, ad loke what soeuer he doth, it shal prospere.

⁶ There be many yt saye: who wil do vs eny good? where as thou (o LORDE) hast shewed vs the light of yi countenauce. ⁷ Thou reioysest myne herte, though their encreace be greate both in corne & wyne.

⁹ Thou shalt make the like a fyre ouen in tyme of thy wrath: the LORDE shal destroye the in his displeasure, & the fyre shall consume them.

⁶ But as for me, I am a worme and no man: a very scorne of me and the outcast of the people.

²² So will I declare thy name vnto my brethren, in the myddest off the congregacion will I prayse the.

³⁰ All they that lye in the dust, and lyue so hardly, shall fall downe before him.

⁸ O how fredly & rightuous is the LORDE, therfore wil he teach synners in the waye. ⁹ He ledeth the symple a right, and soch as be meke the lerneth he his wayes.

¹⁴ The secrete of the LORDE is amonge them that feare him, and he sheweth them his couenaunt.

³ The wordes of his mouth are vnrightuousnesse and disceate, he wil not be lerned to do good.

⁶ Beholde, thou hast made my dayes a spanne longe, and my life is as it were nothinge before the. O how vayne are all men lyuynge? ⁷ Sela. Yee euery man walketh as it were a shadowe, and disquieteth him self in vayne: he heapeth vp riches, and can not tell to whom he gathereth them.

⁹ I wil preach of yi rightuousnesse in the greate congregacion: Lo, I wil not refrayne my lippes, o LORDE, & that thou knowest. ¹⁰ I do not hyde yi rightuousnes in my hert, my talkynge is of thy treuth and sauynge health: I kepe not thy louynge mercy and faithfulnesse backe from the greate congregacion.

⁴ I wil encline myne eare to the parable, & shewe my darcke speach vpon the harpe.

⁷ Sela.The rightuous shal se this, & feare, and laugh him to scorne.

¹⁰ O trust not in wronge & robbery, geue not yor selues vnto vanite: yf riches increase, set not yor herte vpon them.

¹⁶ There shalbe an heape of corne in the earth hye vpon the hilles, his frute shal shake like Libanus, ¹⁷ & shal be grene in the cite, like grasse vpo the earth. ¹⁸ His name shal endure for euer, his name shal remayne vnder the sonne amonge the posterites, which shalbe blessed thorow him, & all the Heithen shal prayse him. ¹⁹ Blessed be the LORDE God, euen the God of Israel, which only doth woderous thinges.

² I wil open my mouth in parables, and speake of thinges of olde.

³⁴ When he slewe them, they sought him, and turned them early vnto God. ³⁵ They thought then that God was their socoure, and that the hye God was their redemer. ³⁶ Neuerthelesse, they dyd but flater him in their mouthes, and dissembled with him in their tonges. ³⁷ For their herte was not whole with him, nether continued they in his couenaunt.

¹³ The rightuous shal florish like a palme tre, and growe like a Cedre of Libanus. ¹⁴ Soch as be planted in the house of the LORDE,be frutefull, plenteous & grene. ¹⁵ That they maye shewe, how true the LORDE my stregth is, and that there is no vnrightuousnesse in him.

¹² Aboue vpon the hilles haue the foules of the ayre their habitacion, and synge amonge the braunches.

¹² Then beleued they in his worde, and songe prayse vnto him. ¹³ But within a whyle they forgat his workes, & wolde not abyde his councell.

⁷⁰ Their herte is as fat as brawne, but my delite is in thy lawe.

⁵ By hearinge, the wyse ma shal come by more wysdome: and by experience, ⁶ he shal be more apte to vnderstonde a parable, and the interpretacion therof: the wordes of the wyse, and the darcke speaches of the same. ⁷ The feare of the LORDE is the begynnynge of wysdome. But fooles despyse wysdome and nurtoure.

²⁰ Wy?dome crieth without, & putteth forth hir voyce in the stretes. ²¹ She calleth before ye congregacion in ye open gates, and sheweth hir wordes thorow ye cite, sayenge: ²² O ye childre, how loge wil ye loue childyshnesse? how longe wil ye scorners delyte in scornynge, & ye vnwyse be enemies vnto knowlege?

¹ My sonne, yf thou wilt receaue my wordes, and kepe my comaundemetes by the, ² that thine eare maye herken vnto wysdome, applie thine herte then to vnderstodinge.

² that thine eare maye herken vnto wysdome, applie thine herte then to vnderstodinge. ³ For yf thou criest after wy?dome, & callest for knowlege:

³ For yf thou criest after wy?dome, & callest for knowlege: ⁴ yf thou sekest after her as after money, and dyggest for her as for treasure:

⁴ yf thou sekest after her as after money, and dyggest for her as for treasure:

⁴ yf thou sekest after her as after money, and dyggest for her as for treasure: ⁵ The shalt thou vnderstonde ye feare of the LORDE, and fynde ye knowlege of God.

⁵ The shalt thou vnderstonde ye feare of the LORDE, and fynde ye knowlege of God. ⁶ For it is the LORDE that geueth wy?dome, out of his mouth commeth knowlege and vnderstondinge.

¹³ Well is him that fyndeth wy?dome, & opteyneth vnderstondinge, ¹⁴ for the gettinge of it is better then eny marchaundise of syluer, & the profit of it is better then golde. ¹⁵ Wy?dome is more worth the precious stones, & all ye thinges yt thou canst desyre, are not to be compared vnto her. ¹⁶ Vpon hir right hande is longe life, & vpon hir left hande is riches & honor. ¹⁷ Hir wayes are pleasaunt wayes, and all hir pathes are peaceable. ¹⁸ She is a tre of life to them that laye holde vpon her, and blessed are they that kepe her fast.

¹⁸ The path of the rightuous shyneth as the light, and is euer brighter & brighter vnto the parfecte daye.

¹⁰ Receaue my doctryne therfore and not syluer, & knowlege more then fyne golde. ¹¹ For wysdome is more worth then precious stones, yee all the thinges that thou cast desyre, are not to be compared vnto it.

¹⁸ Riches & honoure are wt me, yee excellent goodes & rightuousnes. ¹⁹ My frute is better the golde & precious stone, & myne encrease more worth then fyne syluer. ²⁰ I walke in ye waye of rightuousnes, & in the strete of iudgment.

²⁰ An innocent tonge is a noble treasure, but the herte of the vngodly is nothinge worth. ²¹ The lippes of the rightuous fede a whole multitude, but fooles shal dye in their owne foly.

²⁸ He that trusteth in his riches, shal haue a fall, but ye rightuous shal florish as the grene leaf.

³⁰ The frute of the rightuous is as the tre of life, a wyse man also wynneth mens soules.

³ A man ca not endure in vngodlynesse, but ye rote of ye righteous shal not be moued.

¹² The desyre of ye vngodly hunteth after myschefe, but the rote of the righteous bryngeth forth frute.

⁷ A wyse mouth poureth out knowlege, but ye herte of the foolish doth not so.

¹⁶ To haue wy?dome in possession is better then golde, and to get vnderstondynge, is more worth then syluer.

²⁰ He yt handleth a matter wysely, opteyneth good: & blessed is he, yt putteth his trust in ye LORDE. ²¹ Who so hath a wyse vnderstondinge, is called to councell: but he yt can speake fayre, getteth more riches. ²² Vnderstondinge is a well of life vnto him yt hath it, as for ye chastenynge of fooles, it is but foolishnesse. ²³ The herte of the wyse enfourmeth his mouth, and amendeth ye doctryne in his lyppes. ²⁴ Fayre wordes are an hony combe, a refreshinge of ye mynde, & health of ye bones.

¹⁶ What helpeth it to geue a foole money in his hode, where as he hath no mynde to bye wy?dome?

¹ Who so hath pleasure to sowe discorde, piketh a quarell in euery thinge.

¹ Who so hath pleasure to sowe discorde, piketh a quarell in euery thinge. ² A foole hath no delyte in vnderstodinge, but only in those thinges wherin his herte reioyseth.

⁴ The wordes of a mas mouth are like depe waters, and the well of wy?dome is like a full streame.

¹⁷ My sonne, bowe downe thine eare, and herken vnto the wordes of wy?dome, applye yi mynde vnto my doctryne: ¹⁸ for it is a pleasaunt thinge yf thou kepe it in thine herte, and practise it in thy mouth:

⁵ Why wilt thou set thine eye vpon ye thinge, which sodenly vanisheth awaye? For riches make them selues wynges, and take their flight like an Aegle in to ye ayre.

²³ Labor for to get ye treuth: sell not awaye wy?dome, nourtor & vnderstodinge

² in so moch that I sayde vnto laughter: thou art madd, and to myrth: what doest thou? ³ So I thought in my herte, to withdrawe my flesh from wyne, to applye my mynde vnto wy?dome, and to comprehede foolishnes vntill the tyme that (amonge all ye thinges which are vnder ye Sonne) I might se what were best for men to do, so longe as they lyue vnder heauen. ⁴ I made gorgious fayre workes, I buylded me houses, and planted vynyardes: ⁵ I made me ortchardes and gardens of pleasure, and planted trees in them of all maner frutes. ⁶ I made poles of water, to water ye grene and frutefull trees withall. ⁷ I bought seruauntes and maydes, and had a greate housholde. As for catell and shepe, I had more substaunce of them, then all they yt were before me in Ierusalem. ⁸ I gathered syluer & golde together, euen a treasure of kynges & londes. I prouided me syngers and wome which coude playe of instrumentes, to make men myrth and pastime. I gat me drynkynge cuppes also and glasses. ⁹ (Shortly) I was greater & in more worshipe, then all my predecessours in Ierusale. For wy?dome remayned with me: ¹⁰ & loke what so euer myne eyes desyred, I let them haue it: & wherin so euer my herte delyted or had eny pleasure, I with helde it not fro it. Thus my hert reioysed in all yt I dyd, and this I toke for the porcion of all my trauayle. ¹¹ But whan I considered all the workes yt my handes had wrought, and all the labours that I had taken therin: lo, all was but vanite and vexacion of mynde, & nothinge of eny value vnder ye Sonne. ¹² Then turned I me to considre wy?dome, erroure and foolishnesse (for what is he amonge men, that might be compared to me ye kynge in soch workes?)

⁸ There is one man, no mo but himself alone, hauynge nether childe ner brother: yet is there no ende of his carefull trauayle, his eyes can not be satisfied with riches, (yet doth he not remembre himself, & saye:) For whom do I take soch trauayle? For whose pleasure do I thus consume awaye my lyfe? This is also a vayne and miserable thinge.

¹⁰ He that loueth money, wil neuer be satisfied with money: and who so delyteth in riches, shal haue no profit therof. Is not this also a vayne thinge? ¹¹ Where as many riches are, there are many also that spende them awaye. And what pleasure more hath he that possesseth them, sauynge that he maye loke vpon them with his eyes?

¹³ Yet is there a sore plage, which I haue sene vnder the Sonne (namely) riches kepte to the hurte of him yt hath them in possession. ¹⁴ For oft times they perishe with his greate misery and trouble: and yf he haue a childe, it getteth nothinge.

⁸ All is but vanite (sayeth the preacher) all is but playne vanite. ⁹ The same preacher was not wyse alone, but taught the people knowlege also: he gaue good hede, sought out the groude and set forth many parables. ¹⁰ His diligence was to fynde out acceptable wordes, right scripture, and the wordes of trueth. ¹¹ For the wordes of ye wyse are like prickes and nales that go thorow, wherwith men are kepte together: for they are geuen of one shepherde onely.

¹³ Lat vs heare the conclucion of all thinges: Feare God, and kepe his comaundementes, for that toucheth all men:

¹³ There shal the Mandragoras geue their smell besyde oure dores: There (o my loue) haue I kepte vnto the all maner of frutes, both new and olde.

² It will be also in processe of tyme: That the hill where the the house of the LORDE is buylded, shal be ye chefe amoge hilles, and exalted aboue al litle hilles. And al heithe shal prease vnto him and the multitude of people shall go vnto him, ³ speakinge thus one to another: vp, let us go to the hill of the LORDE, and to the house of ye God of Iacob: yt he maye shewe us his waye, and yt we maye walke in his pathes. For ye lawe shal come out of Syon, and the worde of God from Ierusalem, ⁴ and shal geue sentence amonge the heithen, and shal reforme the multitude of people: So that they shal breake their swerdes and speares, to make sythes, sycles & sawes therof. From that tyme forth shal not one people lift vp wapen agaynst another, nether shal they lerne to fight from thensforth.

¹ Now well than, I will synge my beloued frende a songe of his vynyearde. My beloued frende hath a vyneyearde in a very frutefull plenteous grounde. ² This he hedged, this he walled rounde aboute, and planted it with goodly grapes. In the myddest of it buylded he a towre, and made a wyne presse therin And afterwarde when he loked yt it shulde bringe him grapes, it brought forth thornes. ³ I shewe you now my cause (o ye Citysens of Ierusalem and whole Iuda:) Iudge I praye you betwixte me: and my wynegardinge. ⁴ What more coude haue bene done for it, that I haue not done? Wherfore then hath it geuen thornes, where I loked to haue had grapes of it? ⁵ Well, I shall tell you how I will do wt my vynyarde: I will take the hedge from it, that it maye perish, and breake downe ye wall, that it maye be troden vnder fote. ⁶ I will laye it waist, that it shall nether be twysted nor cut, but beare thornes and breares. I wil also forbyd ye cloudes, that they shal not rayne vpon it. ⁷ As for the vynyarde of the LORDE of hoostes it is the house of Israel, and whole Iuda his fayre plantinge. Of these he loked for equyte, but se there is wronge: for rightuousnesse, lo, It is but misery.

⁹ And so he sayde: go, and tel this people: ye shall heare in dede, but ye shal not vnderstonde, ye shal planely se, and not perceaue. ¹⁰ Harden the harte of this people, stoppe their eares, and shut their eyes, that they se not wt their eyes, heare not with their eares, and vnderstonde not with their hartes, and conuerte and be healed.

¹⁰ Harden the harte of this people, stoppe their eares, and shut their eyes, that they se not wt their eyes, heare not with their eares, and vnderstonde not with their hartes, and conuerte and be healed.

¹⁴ For he is the sanctifienge, and stone to stomble at, ye rock to fall vpon, a snare and net to both the houses: to Israel, and the inhabitours of Ierusalem.

¹⁰ The stronge cities shalbe desolate, and ye fayre cities shalbe left like a wildernes. The catel shal fede and lie there, and the shepe shal eate it vp. ¹¹ Their haruest shal be brent, their wyues which were their bewtie when they came forth: shalbe defyled. For it is a people without vnderstodinge, and therfore he yt created them, shal not fauoure them: and he yt made them, shal not be merciful to the.

¹⁰ Commaunde yt maye be commaunded, byd yt maye be bydde, forbyd that maye be forbydde, kepe backe yt maye be kepte backe, here a litle, there a litle.

¹³ And therfore the LORDE shal answere their stubbournes (Comaunde yt maye be comaunded, byd yt maye be bydden, forbyd yt maye be forbydde, kepe backe yt maye be kepte backe, here a litle, there a litle) That they maye go forth, fall backwarde, be brussed, snared and taken.

¹⁰ For the LORDE shal geue you an hard slepinge sprete, and holde downe youre eyes: namely yor prophetes and heades which shulde se, them shal he couer.

¹⁰ For the LORDE shal geue you an hard slepinge sprete, and holde downe youre eyes: namely yor prophetes and heades which shulde se, them shal he couer. ¹¹ And all visions shalbe vnto you, as the wordes that stonde in a sealed lettre, when one offreth it to a man that is lerned, and sayeth: rede vs this lettre. The he answereth: I ca not rede it, for it is shutt. ¹² But yf it be geue to one yt is not lerned, or sayde vnto him: rede this lettre: Then sayeth he. I can not rede.

⁶ Let treuth and faithfulnesse be in hir tyme: power, health, wisdome, knowlege & the feare of God are hir treasure.

⁸ There shalbe footpathes & comon stretes, this shalbe called the holywaye. No vnclene person shal go thorow it, for the LORDE himself shal go with the that waye, and the ignoraut shal not erre.

⁹ shewe you these new tidinges, and tel you them or they come, for olde thinges also are come to passe.

¹⁸ Heare, o ye deaf men, and sharpen youre sightes to se (o ye blinde.) ¹⁹ But who is blynder, the my seruaunt? Or so deaf, as my messaungers, whom I sent vnto them? For who is so blynde as my people, & they yt haue the rule of them? ²⁰ They are like, as yf thou vnderstodest moch, and keptest nothinge: or yf one herde well, but were not obedient.

¹⁸ Yet men nether considre ner vnderstonde, because their eyes are stopped, that they can not se: and their hertes, that they cannot perceaue.

²⁰ The kepinge of dust, and folishnesse of herte hath turned them a syde: so that none of them can haue a fre conscience to thinke: maye not I erre?

⁷ Morouer thus saieth the LORDE the aveger and holy one of Israel, because of the abhorringe and despisinge amonge the Gentiles, concernynge the seruaunt of all them yt beare rule: Kynges and prynces shal se, and arise and worshipe, because of the LORDE that he is faithfull: and because of the holy one of Israel, which hath chosen the.

¹⁰ There shal nether hunger ner thurste, heate nor Sonne hurte them. For he that fauoureth them, shal lede them, and geue them drike of the springe welles.

² He shal growe before the LORDE like as a brauch, & as a rote in a drie grounde. He shal haue nether bewty ner fauoure. When we loke vpon him, there shalbe no fayrnesse: we shal haue no lust vnto him. ³ He shalbe the most symple & despised of all, which yet hath good experience of sorowes & infirmities. We shal reken him so symple & so vyle, that we shal hyde oure faces fro him.

³ He shalbe the most symple & despised of all, which yet hath good experience of sorowes & infirmities. We shal reken him so symple & so vyle, that we shal hyde oure faces fro him.

¹⁰ Yet hath it pleased ye LORDE to smyte him with infirmite, that when he had made his soule an offeringe for synne, he might se a loge lastinge sede. And this device of the LORDE shal prospere in his honde.

¹ Come to the waters all ye, yt be thurstie, & ye that haue no moneye. Come, bye, that ye maye haue to eate. Come, bye wyne & mylck, without eny money, or moneye worth,

⁹ All the beastes of the felde, & all the beastes of ye wod, shal come to deuoure hi. ¹⁰ For his watchmen are all blinde, they haue alltogether no vnderstondinge, they are all domme dogges, not beinge able to barcke, they are slepery: slogish are they, & lie snortinge:

¹⁸ But yf I maye se his right waye agayne, I make him whole, I lede him, and restore him vnto them whom he maketh ioyful, & that were sory for him.

² For they seke me dalye, and wil knowe my wayes, euen as it were a people that dyd right, and had not forsaken the statutes of their God. They argue with me concernynge right iudgment, and wil pleate at the lawe with their God.

²² O ye shrenkinge children, turne agayne, (saynge: lo, we are thine, for thou art the LORDE oure God:) And so shal I heale youre bacturnynges.

³ For thus saieth the LORDE, to all Iuda and Ierusalem: plowe youre londe, and sowe not amonge the thornes.

³ For thus saieth the LORDE, to all Iuda and Ierusalem: plowe youre londe, and sowe not amonge the thornes. ⁴ Be circumcided in the LORDE, and cut awaye the foreskynne of youre hertes, all ye of Iuda, and all the indwellers of Ierusalem: that my indignacion breake not out like fyre, & kyndle, so that no man maye quench it, because of the wickednes of youre ymaginacions.

²¹ Heare this (thou folish and vndiscrete people.) Ye haue eyes, but ye se not: eares haue ye, but ye heare not.

¹⁴ Heale me (o LORDE) and I shall be whole: saue thou me, and I shalbe saued, for thou art my prayse.

⁶ Beholde, (saieth the LORDE) I will heale their woundes, and make them whole: I will open them the treasure of peace and treuth.

¹⁹ And I wil geue you one herte, & wil plante a new sprete within yor bowels. That stony herte wil I take out of youre body, & geue you a fleshy herte:

² Thou sonne of ma, thou dwellest in the myddest of a frauwerde housholde: which haue eyes to se, & yet se not: eares haue they to heare, and yet heare they not, for they are an obstinate housholde.

⁴ Beholde, it is cast in the fyre to be brent, the fyre consumeth both the endes of it, the myddest is brent to a?shes. Is it mete then for eny worke? No. ⁵ Seinge then, that it was mete for no worke, beinge whole: moch lesse maye there eny thinge be made of it, when the fyre hath consumed and brent it. ⁶ And therfore thus saieth the LORDE God: Like as I cast the vyne in to the fyre for to be brent, as other trees of the wod: Euen so wil I do with them that dwell in Ierusalem, ⁷ and set my face agaynst them: they shall go out from the fyre, and yet the fyre shall consume them. Then shal ye knowe, that I am the LORDE, when I set my face agaynst them,

² Thou sonne of man: put forth a darcke speakynge and a parable, vnto the house of Israel,

²³ Namely, vpon the hie hill of Sion will I plante it: that it maye bringe forth twygges, and geue frute, and be a greate Cedre tre: so that all maner of foules maye byde in it, and make their nestes vnder the shadowe of his braunches. ²⁴ And all the trees of the felde shall knowe, that I the LORDE haue brought downe the hie tre, and set the lowe tre vp: that I haue dryed vp the grene tre, and made the drye tre to florish: Euen I the LORDE yt spake it, haue also brought it to passe.

³¹ Cast awaye fro you all youre vngodlynesse, that ye haue done: make you new hertes and a new sprete. Wherfore wil ye dye, O ye house of Israel?

⁴⁹ Then sayde I: O LORDE, they wil saye of me: Tush, they are but fables, that he telleth.

³ Shewe yt obstinate housholde a parable, & speake vnto the: Thus sayet the LORDE God: Get the a pot, set it on, & poure water in to it: ⁴ put all the peces together in it, all the good peces: the loyne and the shulder, & fyll it with the best bones. ⁵ Take one off the best shepe, & an heape off bones withall: let it boyle well, & let the bones seyth well therin. ⁶ With that, sayde the LORDE God on this maner: Wo be vnto the bloudy cite of ye pot, whervpon the rustynesse hageth, and is not yet scoured awaye. Take out the peces that are in it, one after another: there nede no lottes be cast therfore, ⁷ for the bloude is yet in it Vpon a playne drye stone hath she poured it, and not vpon the grounde, that it might be couered with dust. ⁸ And therfore haue I letten her poure hir bloude vpon a playne drye stony rocke, because it shulde not be hid, and that I might bringe my wrothfull indignacion and vengeaunce vpon her. ⁹ Wherfore, thus saieth ye LORDE God: O, wo be vnto that bloudthurstie cite, for who I wil prepare a heape off wodde: ¹⁰ beare thou ye bones together, kyndle thou the fyre, seeth the flesh, let all be well sodde, that the bones maye be suckte out. ¹¹ Morouer, set the pot emptye vpon the coales, that it maye be warme and the metall hote: that the fylth and rustynesse maye be consumed. ¹² But it will not go off, there is so moch off it: the rustinesse must be brent out. ¹³ Thy filthinesse is abhominable, for I wolde haue clensed the, but thou woldest not be clensed. Thou canst not be pourged from thine vnclennesse, till I haue poured my wrothfull indignacion vpon the. ¹⁴ Euen I the LORDE haue so deuysed: Yee it is come therto allredy, that I will do it. I will not go backe, I will not spare, I wil not be intreated: but acordinge to thy wayes ad ymaginacions, thou shalt be punyshed, saieth the LORDE God.

⁶ All foules of the ayre made their nestes in his brauches, vnder his bowes gedred all the beastes of ye felde, & vnder his shadow dwelt all people.

³¹ These come vnto the, after ye maner of a greate people: yee my people syt downe before the, and heare thy wordes, but they do not therafter: For in their mouthes they shewe themselues, as though they were feruent, but their herte goeth after their owne couetous lucre. ³² And as a balet yt hath a swete tune, ad is pleasaut to synge, so shalt thou be vnto them: thy wordes shal they heare, but they will not do therafter.

²⁶ A new herte also wil I geue you, and a new sprete wil I put in to you: As for that stony hert, I will take it out of youre body, and geue you a fle?shy herte.

¹ After this he brought me agayne before the dore of the house: & beholde, there gu?shed out waters from vnder ye postes of the house eastwarde (for the house stode towarde the east) that ranne downe vpo the right syde of the house, which lyeth to the aulter south warde. ² The caried he me out to the north dore, and brought me forth there rounde aboute by the vttemost dore, yt turneth eastwarde. Beholde, there came forth the water vpon the right syde. ³ Now whan the man yt had the meterodde in his honde wente out vnto the east dore, he measured a M. cubites, & the he brought me thorow ye water, eue to the ancles: ⁴ so he measured yet a thousande, & brought me thorow ye water agayne vnto the knees: yet measured he a thousande, and brought me thorow the water vnto the loynes. ⁵ After this he measured a thousande agayne, then was it soch a ryuer, yt I might not wade thorow it: The water was so depe, that it was nedefull to haue swymmed, for it might not be waded ouer.

³⁴ This thou sawest, till the tyme that (with out eny hondes) there was hewen off a stone which smote the ymage vpon the fete, that were both off yron and earth, and brake the to poulder: ³⁵ then was the yron, the earth, the copper, the syluer and golde broken altogether in peces: and became like the chaffe off corne, that the wynde bloweth awaye from ye somer floores, that they ca nomore be foude. But the stone that smote the ymage, became a greate mountayne, which fulfylleth the whole earth:

⁴⁴ In the dayes off these kynges, shall the God of heauen set vp an euerlastinge kyngdome which shall not perish, and his kyngdome shall not be geuen ouer to another people: Yee the same shall breake and destroye all these kyngdomes, but it shall endure for euer. ⁴⁵ And where as thou sawest, that without eny hondes there was cut out of the mount a stone, which brake the yron, the copper ye earth, the syluer and golde in peces: by that hath ye greate God shewed the kynge, what wyl come after this. This is a true dreame, and the interpretacion of it is sure.

⁶ Who so then falleth not downe and boweth himself, shal euen the same houre be cast in to an hote burnynge ouen.

¹⁵ wel, be redy herafter, when ye heare the noyse of the tropettes, blowne with the harpes, shawmes, psalteries, symphonies and all ye other melodies: that ye fall downe, and worshipe the ymage which I haue made. But yff ye worshipe it not, ye shal be cast immediatly in to an hote burnynge ouen. Let se, what god is there, yt maye delyuer you out of my hondes? ¹⁶ Sydrac, Misac and Abdenago answered the kynge, and sayde: O Nabuchodonosor, we ought not to cosente vnto ye in this matter, for why: ¹⁷ oure God whom we serue, is able to kepe vs from the hote burnynge ouen (O kynge) and can right wel delyuer vs out off thy hondes.

²¹ So these men were bounde in their cotes, hosen, shues with their other garmentes, ad cast in to the hote burnynge ouen: ²² for the kinges commaundement was so strate, and the ouen was exceadynge hote. As for the men that put in Sydrac, Misac and Abdenago, the flame off the fyre destroyed them.

¹² his leaues were fayre, he had very moch frute, so yt euery ma had ynough to eate therin. The beastes of the felde had shadowes vnder it, and the foules off the ayre dwelt in the bowes therof. Shortly, all creatures fed of it.

¹⁰ There drew forth a firie streame, & wente out from him. A thousand tymes a thousande serued him, x.M. tymes ten thousande stode before him. The iudgmet was set, and the bokes opened.

³ The wyse (soch as haue taught other) shal glister, as the shyninge of heauen: and those that haue instructe the multitude vnto godlynesse, shalbe as the starres, worlde without ende.

²³ I wil sowe them vpo earth, for a sede to myne owne self, & wil haue mercy vpon her, yt was without mercy. And to the which were not my people, I wil saye: thou art my people. And he shal saye: thou art my God.

³ Then shal we haue vnderstondinge, & endeuoure oure selues to knowe the LORDE. He shal go forth as the sprynge of the daye, and come vnto vs as the euenynge and mornynge rayne vpon the earth. ⁴ O Ephraim, what shal I do vnto the? O Iuda, how shal I intreate the? seynge youre loue is like a mornynge cloude, & like a dew yt goeth early awaye.

⁴ O (yf they wolde do this) I shulde heale their sores: yee with all my herte wolde I loue them: so yt my wrath shulde clene be turned awaye from them.

¹³ Laye to youre sythes, for the haruest is rype: come, get you downe: the wynepresse is full, yee the wynepresses runne ouer, for their wickednesse is waxen greate.

⁷ Now doth the LORDE God no maner of thinge, but he telleth his secrete before vnto his seruauntes ye prophetes.

¹² Who can runne with horses, or plowe wt oxen vpon the harde rockes off stone? For why, ye haue turned true iudgment in to bytternesse, and the frute of rightuousnesse in to wormwod:

⁴ In that daye shall this terme be vsed, and a mournynge shal be made ouer you on this maner: We be vtterly desolate, the porcion off my people is translated. Whan wil he parte vnto vs the londe, that he hath taken from vs?

¹ But in the latter dayes it wil come to passe, that the hill off the LORDES house shalbe set vp hyer the eny moutaynes or hilles: Yee the people shall preese vnto it, ² and the multitude off the Gentiles shal haist them thither, sayege: Come, let vs go vp to the hill of the LORDE, & to the house of the God of Iacob: that he maye teach vs his waye, and that we maye walke in his pathes. For the lawe shall come out off Sion, ad the worde of God from Ierusalem, ³ and shall geue sentence amonge the multitude off the Heithen, and refourme the people off farre coutrees: so that of their swerdes they shal make plowshares, and sythes off their speares. One people shall not lift vp a swerde agaynst another, yee they shall nomore lerne to fight:

⁶ But shall not all these take vp a prouerbe agaynst him, and mocke him with a byworde, and saye: Wo vnto him that heapeth vp other mens goodes? How longe wil he lade himself with thicke claye?

³ I wil gather vp man and beest: I wil gather vp the foules in the ayre, and the fysh in the see (to the greate decaye of the wicked) & wil vtterly destroye the men out of the londe, saieth the LORDE.

¹⁰ For he that hath bene despysed a litle season, shal reioyce, whe he seyth the tynne weight in Zorobabels honde. The vij. eyes are the LORDES, which go thorow the hole worlde.

¹¹ Neuertheles they wolde not take hede, but turned their backes, and stopped their eares, that they shulde not heare. ¹² yee they made their hertes as an Adamant stone, lest they shulde heare the lawe & wordes, which the LORDE of hoostes sent in his holy sprete by the prophetes afore tyme. Wherfore the LORDE of hoostes was very wroth at them.

²⁰ Thus saieth the LORDE of hoostes: There shall yet come people, and the inhabiters of many cities: ²¹ and they that dwell in one cite, shal go to another, sayenge: Vp, let vs go, and praye before the LORDE, let vs seke the LORDE of hoostes, I wil go with you. ²² Yee moch people and mightie Heithen shal come and seke the LORDE of hoostes at Ierusalem, and to praye before the LORDE. ²³ Thus saieth the LORDE of hoostes: In that tyme shal ten men (out of all maner of languages of the Gentiles) take one Iewe by the hemme of his garment, and saye: we wil go with you, for we haue herde, that God is amonge you.

⁸ I wil blowe for them & gather them together, for I wil redeme them. They shall increace, as they increased afore. ⁹ I wil sowe the amonge the people, yt they maye thinke vpo me in farre countrees: they shal lyue wt their childre, and turne agayne.

⁷ This shalbe that specyall daye, which is knowne vnto the LORDE: nether daye ner night, but aboute the euenynge tyme it shalbe light. ⁸ In that tyme shall there waters of life runne out from Ierusalem: the half parte of them towarde the east see, ad the other half towarde the vttemost see, and shall continue both somer and wynter. ⁹ And the LORDE himself shalbe kynge ouer all the earth. At that tyme shal there be one LORDE only, and his name shalbe but one. ¹⁰ Men shal go aboute the whole earth, as vpon a felde: from Gibea to Remmon, and from ye south to Ierusalem. She shalbe set vp, and inhabited in hir place: From BenIamins porte, vnto the place of the first porte, and vnto ye corner porte: and from the tower of Hanael, vnto the kynges wyne presses.

¹⁸ Turne you therfore, and considre what difference is betwixte the rightuous and vngodly: betwixte him that serueth God, ad him that serueth him not.

² But vnto you that feare my name, shall the Sone of rightuousnesse aryse, & health shalbe vnder his winges. Ye shal go forth, & multiplie as ye fat calues.

¹⁸ The byrth of Christ was on thys wyse: When his mother Mary was maried to Ioseph before they came together, she was foude with chylde by ye holy goost, ¹⁹ But Ioseph her hussbande was a perfect man, and wolde not bringe her to shame, but was mynded to put her awaie secretely. ²⁰ Neuertheles whyle he thus thought, beholde, the angell of the LORDE appered vnto him in a dreame, saynge: Ioseph thou sonne of Dauid, feare not to take vnto the Mary thy wyfe. For that which is coceaued in her, is of ye holy goost.

²³ and went and dwelt in a cite called Nazareth, to fulfill yt which was spoken by the Prophetes: he shalbe called a Nazarite.

² saynge: Amede youre selues, the kyngdome of heuen is at honde.

⁸ Bewarre, brynge forth due frutes of pennaunce.

¹⁰ Euen now is the axe put vnto ye rote of the trees: therfore euery tre which bringeth not forth good frute, shalbe hewe downe, and cast into the fyre.

¹² which hath also his fan in his hond, and will pourge his floore, and gadre the wheet into his garner, & will burne ye chaffe with vnquencheable fyre.

¹⁹ and he sayde vnto them: folowe me, & I will make you fisshers of me.

²³ And Iesus went aboute all Galile, teachyng in their synagoges, and preachynge the gospel of the kyngdome, and healed all maner of siknes, & all maner dyseases amonge the people.

²⁵ And ther folowed hym a greate nombre of people, from Galile, & from the ten cities, and from Ierusalem, and from the regions that lye beyonde Iordan.

³ Blessed are the poore in sprete: for theirs is the kyngdome of heue. ⁴ Blessed are they that mourne: for they shalbe coforted. ⁵ Blessed are the meke: for they shall inheret the erth. ⁶ Blessed are they which honger & thyrst for rightewesnes: for they shalbe filled. ⁷ Blessed are the mercifull: for they shall obteyne mercy. ⁸ Blessed are the pure in herte: for they shall se God. ⁹ Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shalbe called the chyldren of God. ¹⁰ Blessed are they which suffre persecucion for rightwesnes sake: for theirs is the kyngdome of heuen.

¹⁰ Blessed are they which suffre persecucion for rightwesnes sake: for theirs is the kyngdome of heuen. ¹¹ Blessed are ye when men reuyle you, and persecute you, and falsly say all manner of yuell saynges against you for my sake.

¹¹ Blessed are ye when men reuyle you, and persecute you, and falsly say all manner of yuell saynges against you for my sake. ¹² Reioyce and be glad, for greate is youre rewarde in heue.For so persecuted they the Prophetes which were before youre dayes.

³⁷ But your communicacion shalbe, yee, yee: nay, nay. For what soeuer is more then that, commeth of euel.

²¹ For where youre treasure is, there is youre herte also.

²⁴ No ma can serue two masters. For ether he shall hate the one and loue the other: or els he shall leane to the one, and despise the other: Ye can not serue God and mammon. ²⁵ Therfore I saye vnto you: be not ye carefull for your lyfe, what ye shall eate, or what ye shall drinke: nor yet for youre body, what ye shal put on. Ys not the lyfe more worth the meate, and the body more of value then raymet?

²² Many shall saye to me in that daye: LORDE, LORDE: haue we not prophecied in thy name? Haue we not cast out deuyls in thy name? Haue we not done many greate dedes in thy name? ²³ And then will I knowlege vnto them: I neuer knewe you, Departe fro me, ye workers of iniquite.

²⁶ And who soeuer heareth of me these sayinges, & doth the not, shalbe lyckened vnto a folysh ma, which buylt his housse apon the sonde: ²⁷ Now whan abudaunce of rayne desceded, & the wyndes blewe, & bet vpon yt housse, it fell, and great was the fall of it. ²⁸ And it came to passe, that when Iesus had ended these saynges, the people were astonnyed at hys doctryne.

¹² and the chyldren of the kyngdome shalbe cast out in to vtter darcknes: there shalbe wepinge & gnasshing of teth.

²⁰ And Iesus sayde vnto him: the foxes haue holes, and the byrddes of the ayer hane nestes, but ye sonne of ma hath not wheron to rest his heede.

²⁸ And when he was come home, the blynde came to hym, And Iesus sayde vnto them Beleue ye, that I am able to do thys? And they sayde vnto hym: yee, LORDE.

²² & ye shall be hated of all men for my names sake. But he yt endureth to the ende, shalbe saued.

³⁷ Who so loueth father and mother more then me, is not mete for me: and he that loueth sonne or doughter more then me, is not mete for me. ³⁸ And he yt taketh not his crosse and foloweth me, is not mete for me. ³⁹ Who so fyndeth his life, shal lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake, shal fynde it. ⁴⁰ He that receaueth you, receaueth me: & who so receaueth me, receaueth him yt sent me.

⁶ and blessed is he, that is not offended at me.

¹⁵ Who so hath eares to heare, let hi heare.

²⁵ At ye same tyme Iesus answered, and sayde: I prayse the (O father and LORDE of heauen and earth) that thou hast hid these thinges from the wyse and prudent, and opened the vnto babes. ²⁶ Euen so father, for so it pleased the.

³³ Either make the tre good and his frute good also, or els make the tre euel & his frute euel also. For the tre is knowne by the frute.

³⁵ A good man out of the good treasure of his hert, bringeth forth good thinges: & an euel man out of his euell treasure, bringeth forth euell thinges.

⁴⁶ Whyle he yet talked vnto the people, beholde, his mother & his brethre stode without desyringe to speake wt him. ⁴⁷ Then sayde one vnto him: Beholde, thy mother and thy brethren stonde without, & wolde speake wt the. ⁴⁸ Neuertheles he answered & sayde vnto him that tolde him: Who is my mother? & who are my brethren?

¹ The same daye wente Iesus out of ye house, and sat by the see syde, ² & moch people resorted vnto him: so yt he wete in to a shyppe and satt him downe, and all the people stode vpo the shore. ³ And he spake many thinges vnto the in symilitudes, sayenge: Beholde, The sower wente forth to sowe: ⁴ and as he sowed, some fell by the waye syde: Then came the foules, & ate it vp. ⁵ Some fell vpon stony grounde, & anone it spronge vp, because it had no depth of earth:

⁸ Some fell vpo good groude, & gaue frute: some an hundreth folde, some sixtie folde, some thirtie folde. ⁹ Who so hath eares to heare, let hi heare. ¹⁰ And the disciples came vnto him, and sayde: Why speakest thou to the by parables?

¹⁰ And the disciples came vnto him, and sayde: Why speakest thou to the by parables? ¹¹ He answered and sayde vnto the: Vnto you it is geuen to knowe the mystery of the kingdome of heauen, but vnto them it is not geuen.

¹¹ He answered and sayde vnto the: Vnto you it is geuen to knowe the mystery of the kingdome of heauen, but vnto them it is not geuen.

¹¹ He answered and sayde vnto the: Vnto you it is geuen to knowe the mystery of the kingdome of heauen, but vnto them it is not geuen.

¹¹ He answered and sayde vnto the: Vnto you it is geuen to knowe the mystery of the kingdome of heauen, but vnto them it is not geuen. ¹² For whoso hath, vnto him shal be geue, and he shal haue abundaunce. But who so hath not, from him shalbe taken awaye, eue that he hath.

¹² For whoso hath, vnto him shal be geue, and he shal haue abundaunce. But who so hath not, from him shalbe taken awaye, eue that he hath.

¹² For whoso hath, vnto him shal be geue, and he shal haue abundaunce. But who so hath not, from him shalbe taken awaye, eue that he hath. ¹³ Therfore speake I vnto the by parables, for with seynge eyes they se not, & with hearinge eares they heare not, for they vnderstonde it not.

¹³ Therfore speake I vnto the by parables, for with seynge eyes they se not, & with hearinge eares they heare not, for they vnderstonde it not.

¹³ Therfore speake I vnto the by parables, for with seynge eyes they se not, & with hearinge eares they heare not, for they vnderstonde it not. ¹⁴ And in them is fulfilled ye prophecie of Esay, which sayeth: Ye shal heare in dede, and shal not vnderstonde: and with seinge eyes shal ye se, and not perceaue.

¹⁴ And in them is fulfilled ye prophecie of Esay, which sayeth: Ye shal heare in dede, and shal not vnderstonde: and with seinge eyes shal ye se, and not perceaue. ¹⁵ For ye hert of this people is waxed grosse, & their eares are thick of hearige, & their eyes haue they closed, lest they shulde once se wt ye eyes, & heare wt the eares, & vnderstode wt the hert, & turne, that I might heale them. ¹⁶ But blessed are youre eyes, for they se: & youre eares, for they heare.

¹⁸ Heare ye therfore the parable of the sower. ¹⁹ Whan one heareth ye worde of the kyngdome, and vnderstondeth it not, the euell man cometh, and plucketh it awaye that is sowne in his hert: & this is he yt is sowne by the waye syde.

¹⁹ Whan one heareth ye worde of the kyngdome, and vnderstondeth it not, the euell man cometh, and plucketh it awaye that is sowne in his hert: & this is he yt is sowne by the waye syde. ²⁰ But he yt is sowne in the stonye grounde, is this: wha one heareth the worde, & anone with ioye receaueth it: ²¹ neuertheles he hath no rote i him, but endureth for a season: wha trouble & persecucion aryseth because of the worde, immediatly he his offended. ²² As for him that is sowne amonge ye thornes, this is he: Wha one heareth the worde, & the carefulnes of this worlde, & the disceatfulnes of riches choke the worde, & so he becometh vnfrutefull. ²³ But he yt is sowne in the good grounde, is this: whan one heareth the worde, and vnderstondeth it, and bringeth forth frute: and some geueth an hudreth folde, some sixtie folde, and some thirtie folde. ²⁴ Another parable put he forth vnto the, & sayde: The kyngdome of heaue is like vnto a man, yt sowed good sede in his felde. ²⁵ But whyle me slepte, there came an enemye, and sowed tares amonge ye wheate, & wente his waye. ²⁶ Now wha the blade was sproge vp & brought forth frute, the ye tares appeared also. ²⁷ Then came the seruautes to ye housholder, & sayde vnto him: Syr, sowdest not thou good sede in yi felde? Fro whece the hath it tares?

²⁷ Then came the seruautes to ye housholder, & sayde vnto him: Syr, sowdest not thou good sede in yi felde? Fro whece the hath it tares? ²⁸ He sayde vnto the: that hath the enemye done. The sayde ye seruautes: wilt thou then yt we go & wede the out?

²⁸ He sayde vnto the: that hath the enemye done. The sayde ye seruautes: wilt thou then yt we go & wede the out? ²⁹ He sayde: No, lest whyle ye wede out ye tares, ye plucke vp the wheate also wt the. ³⁰ Let the both growe together tyll the haruest, and in tyme of haruest I wil saye vnto the reapers: Gather ye tares first, & bynde the in sheeues to be bret: but gather the wheate in to my barne.

³⁰ Let the both growe together tyll the haruest, and in tyme of haruest I wil saye vnto the reapers: Gather ye tares first, & bynde the in sheeues to be bret: but gather the wheate in to my barne. ³¹ Another parable put he forth vnto the, and sayde: The kyngdome of heauen is like vnto a grane of mustarde sede, which a man toke, and sowed it in his felde.

³³ Another parable spake he vnto the: The kyngdome of heaue is like vnto leue, which a woman toke, and myxte it amonge thre peckes of meele, tyll all was leuended. ³⁴ All soch thinges spake Iesus vnto ye people by parables, & without parables spake he nothinge vnto the: ³⁵ yt the thinge might be fulfilled, which was spoke by ye prophet, sayenge: I wil open my mouth in parables, and wil speake out the secretes from the begynnynge of the worlde. ³⁶ Then sent Iesus the people awaye, and came home. And his disciples came vnto hi, and sayde: Declare vnto us ye parable of ye tares of ye felde. ³⁷ Iesus answered, and sayde vnto them: He that soweth the good sede, is the sonne of man: ³⁸ the felde is the worlde: ye good sede are the childre of the kyngdome: The tares are the children of wickednes: ³⁹ ye enemye that soweth the, is the deuell: ye haruest is the ende of the worlde: ye reapers are ye angels.

³⁹ ye enemye that soweth the, is the deuell: ye haruest is the ende of the worlde: ye reapers are ye angels. ⁴⁰ For like as ye tares are weded out, and brent in the fyre, eue so shal it go in ye ende of this worlde. ⁴¹ The sonne of man shal sende forth his angels, & they shal gather out of his kingdome all thinges yt offende, & the yt do iniquyte,

⁴¹ The sonne of man shal sende forth his angels, & they shal gather out of his kingdome all thinges yt offende, & the yt do iniquyte, ⁴² & shal cast the in to a fornace of fyre, there shalbe waylinge and gnasshinge of teth.

⁴² & shal cast the in to a fornace of fyre, there shalbe waylinge and gnasshinge of teth. ⁴³ The shal the righteous shyne as the Sonne, in the kyngdome of their father. Who so hath eares to heare, let him heare. ⁴⁴ Agayne, the kingdome of heauen is like vnto a treasure hyd in the felde, which a ma founde and hid it, and for ioye therof he wete & solde all yt he had, and bought yt felde.

⁴⁴ Agayne, the kingdome of heauen is like vnto a treasure hyd in the felde, which a ma founde and hid it, and for ioye therof he wete & solde all yt he had, and bought yt felde. ⁴⁵ Agayne, the kyngdome of heauen is like vnto a marchaut, yt sought good pearles:

⁴⁷ Agayne, ye kyngdome of heaue is like vnto a nett cast in to ye see, wherwith are take all maner of fyshes:

⁴⁹ So shal it be also in ye ende of ye worlde. The angels shal go out, & seuer the bad fro the righteous, ⁵⁰ & shal cast the in to a fornace of fyre, there shalbe waylinge & gnasshinge of teth.

⁵³ And it came to passe wha Iesus had ended these parables, he departed thence,

⁵⁷ And they were offended at him. But Iesus sayde vnto the: A prophet is nowhere lesse sett by, the at home & amonge his owne.

²² And straight waye Iesus made his disciples to entre in to a shippe, & to go ouer before hi, tyll he had sent ye people awaye.

¹⁵ Then answered Peter & sayde vnto him: Declare vnto us this parable. ¹⁶ And Iesus sayde vnto the: Are ye yet the without vnderstondinge? ¹⁷ Perceaue ye not, yt what soeuer goeth in at ye mouth, descedeth downe in to ye bely, & is cast out into the draught?

³⁰ And there came vnto him moch people, hauinge with them, lame, blynde, dome, crepell, and other many, and cast them downe at Iesus fete. And he healed the,

³⁹ And whan he had sent awaye the people, he wente in to a shippe, & came in to the parties of Magdala.

¹¹ Why perceaue ye not then, yt I spake not to you of bred, whe I saide: bewarre of ye leue of ye Pharises & of ye Saduces?

¹³ Then came Iesus into the coastes of the cite Cesarea Philippi, & axed his disciples & saide: Who do me saie, yt ye sonne of ma is? ¹⁴ They sayde: Some saye, yt thou art Iho the baptist, Some yt thou art Elias, Some yt thou art Ieremy, or one of ye prophetes. ¹⁵ He saide to the: But who saye ye yt I am. ¹⁶ The answered Symo Peter and saide: Thou art Christ ye sonne of ye lyuinge God. ¹⁷ And Iesus answered, & saide vnto hi: Blessed art thou Symo ye sonne of Ionas, for flesh & bloude hath not opened yt vnto the, but my father yt is in heaue.

²⁴ Then sayde Iesus vnto his disciples: Yf eny man wil folowe me, let him forsake himself, & take vp his crosse, and folowe me. ²⁵ For who so wil saue his life, shal lose it: but whoso loseth his life for my sake, shal fynde it. ²⁶ What helpeth it a man though he wanne the whole worlde, and yet suffred harme in his soule? Or what can a man geue, to redeme his soule withall?

²⁶ What helpeth it a man though he wanne the whole worlde, and yet suffred harme in his soule? Or what can a man geue, to redeme his soule withall?

²⁰ Iesus sayde vnto them: Because of youre vnbeleue. For I saye verely vnto you? Yf ye haue faith as a grane of mustarde sede, ye maye saye vnto this mountayne: Remoue hence to yonder place, and he shal remoue, nether shal enythinge be vnpossible vnto you.

⁷ Wo vnto the worlde because of slauders. Yee there must slaunders come: but wo vnto that man, by whom slaunder commeth.

²³ Therfore is ye kingdome of heaue lickened vnto a kynge which wolde reken wt his seruauntes.

¹¹ But he sayde vnto them: All me can not coprehende yt sayenge, saue they to who it is geue.

¹⁶ And beholde, one came vnto him, and sayde: Good master, what good shal I do, yt I maye haue the euer lastinge life? ¹⁷ He sayde vnto him: Why callest thou me good? there is none good, but God onely. Neuertheles yf thou wilt entre into life, kepe ye comaudemetes. ¹⁸ The sayde, he vnto him: Which? Iesus saide: Thou shalt not kyll: thou shalt not breake wedlocke: thou shalt not steale: thou shalt beare no false wytnes: ¹⁹ Honoure father and mother: and thou shalt loue thy neghboure as thy self. ²⁰ Then sayde the yonge ma vnto him: All these haue I kepte fro my youth vp: what lack I yet? ²¹ Iesus sayde vnto him: Yf thou wilt be perfecte, go thy waye and sell that thou hast, & geue it vnto the poore, and thou shalt haue a treasure in heauen, and come and folowe me.

²¹ Iesus sayde vnto him: Yf thou wilt be perfecte, go thy waye and sell that thou hast, & geue it vnto the poore, and thou shalt haue a treasure in heauen, and come and folowe me. ²² Whan ye yonge man herde yt worde, he wente awaye sory, for he had greate possessions. ²³ Iesus sayde vnto his disciples: Verely I saie vnto you: it shalbe harde for a rich man to entre in to the kyngdome of heaue. ²⁴ And morouer I saye vnto you: It is easier for a Camell to go thorow the eye of a nedle, the for a rich man to entre in to the kyngdome of heauen.

²⁷ Then answered Peter & sayde vnto him: Beholde, we haue forsake all, and folowed the: What shal we haue therfore?

²⁹ And who so euer forsaketh houses or brethre, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or londes, for my names sake, the same shal receaue an hundreth folde, and inheret euerlastinge life.

¹ The kyngdome of heauen is like vnto an housholder, which wete out early in the mornynge, to hyre labourers in to his vyniarde.

⁴ But all this was done, that the thinge might be fulfylled, which was spoken by the prophet, sayenge: ⁵ Tell the doughter of Sion: beholde, thy kynge commeth vnto ye meke, syttinge vpon an Asse and a foale of ye Asse vsed to the yocke.

³³ Heare another parable. There was a certayne houssholder which planted a vynyarde, and hedged it roude aboute, and dygged a wyne presse in it, and built a tower, and let it out vnto hussbandmen, and wente in to a straunge countre.

⁴³ Therfore I saie vnto you: The kingdome of God shalbe take fro you, & shalbe geue vnto the Heithe, which shal brynge forth ye frutes of it.

¹ And Iesus answered, and spake vnto the agayne by parables, & sayde: ² The kingdome of heauen is like vnto a kynge, which maried his sonne.

⁵ But they made light of it, and wente their wayes: one to his hussbandrye, another to his marchaundise.

⁹ Go youre waye out therfore in to ye hye wayes, and as many as ye fynde, byd them to the mariage. ¹⁰ And the seruauntes wete out in to the hye wayes, and gathered together as many as they coulde fynde, both good and bad, & the tables were all full.

¹⁰ And the seruauntes wete out in to the hye wayes, and gathered together as many as they coulde fynde, both good and bad, & the tables were all full. ¹¹ Then the kynge wete in, to se the gestes, and spyed there a man that had not on a weddynge garment, ¹² and sayde vnto him: Frende, how camest thou in hither, & hast not on a weddyinge garment? And he was euen spechlesse. ¹³ Then sayde the kynge vnto his seruauntes: Take and bynde him hande and fote, & cast him into ye vtter darcknes: there shal be waylinge and gnasshinge of teth.

¹³ Then sayde the kynge vnto his seruauntes: Take and bynde him hande and fote, & cast him into ye vtter darcknes: there shal be waylinge and gnasshinge of teth. ¹⁴ For many be called, but few are chose.

³⁴ Therfore beholde, I sende vnto you prophetes and wysemen, and scrybes, and some of them shal ye kyll and crucifye, and some of them shal ye scourge in youre synagoges, and persecute them from cite to cite:

³ And as he sat vpon the mount Oliuete, his disciples came vnto him secretly, & saide: Tell us, whe shal these thinges come to passe? and which shal be the token of thy comynge, and of the ende of the worlde?

⁹ Then shal they put you to trouble, & shal kyll you, and ye shalbe hated of all people for my names sake. ¹⁰ The shal many be offended, and shal betraye one another, and shal hate one the other.

¹³ But whoso endureth vnto ye ende, ye same shal be saued. ¹⁴ And this gospell of the kyngdome shalbe preached in all the worlde for a wytnes vnto all people, and then shal the ende come. ¹⁵ Whan ye therfore shal se the abhominacion of desolacion (wher of it is spoke by Daniel the prophet) stonde in the holy place (who so readeth it, let him marck it well)

³¹ And he shal sende his angels with ye greate voyce of a trompe, & they shal gather together his chosen from the foure wyndes, from one ende of the heauen to the other. ³² Lerne a symilitude of ye fygge tre. When his braunche is yet tender, and his leaues spronge, ye knowe that Sommer is nye.

⁵⁰ The same seruautes lorde shal come in a daye, wha he loketh not for him, and in an houre that he is not ware of, ⁵¹ and shal hew him in peces and geue him his rewarde with ypocrytes: there shal be waylinge and gnasshinge of teth.

¹ Then shal the kyngdome of heauen be like vnto ten virgins, which toke their lapes, and wente forth to mete the brydegome.

¹ Then shal the kyngdome of heauen be like vnto ten virgins, which toke their lapes, and wente forth to mete the brydegome. ² But fyue of them were foolish, and fyue were wyse. ³ The foolish toke their lapes, neuertheles they toke none oyle with them. ⁴ But the wyse toke oyle in their vessels with their lampes. ⁵ Now whyle the brydegrome taried, they slombred all and slepte.

⁵ Now whyle the brydegrome taried, they slombred all and slepte. ⁶ But at mydnight there was a crye made: Beholde, the brydegrome commeth, go youre waye out for to mete him.

⁶ But at mydnight there was a crye made: Beholde, the brydegrome commeth, go youre waye out for to mete him. ⁷ Then all those virgins arose, and prepared their lampes.

⁷ Then all those virgins arose, and prepared their lampes. ⁸ But the foolish sayde vnto the wyse: geue vs of youre oyle, for oure lapes are gone out.

⁸ But the foolish sayde vnto the wyse: geue vs of youre oyle, for oure lapes are gone out. ⁹ Then answered the wyse, and sayde: Not so, lest there be not ynough for vs and you, but go rather vnto them that sell, and bye for youre selues.

⁹ Then answered the wyse, and sayde: Not so, lest there be not ynough for vs and you, but go rather vnto them that sell, and bye for youre selues. ¹⁰ And whyle they wente to bye, the brydegrome came: and they that were readye, wente in with him vnto the mariage, and the gate was shut vp.

¹⁰ And whyle they wente to bye, the brydegrome came: and they that were readye, wente in with him vnto the mariage, and the gate was shut vp. ¹¹ At ye last came ye other virgins also, and sayde: LORDE LORDE, opo vnto vs.

¹¹ At ye last came ye other virgins also, and sayde: LORDE LORDE, opo vnto vs. ¹² But he answered, and sayde: Verely I saye vnto you: I knowe you not.

¹² But he answered, and sayde: Verely I saye vnto you: I knowe you not. ¹³ Watch ye therfore, for ye knowe nether the daye ner yet the houre, whan ye sonne of man shal come.

¹⁹ After a longe season the lorde of those seruauntes came, and rekened with them. ²⁰ Then came he that had receaued fyue talentes, and brought other fyue talentes, and sayde: Syr, thou delyuerdst vnto me fyue talentes:Beholde, with them haue I wonne fyue taletes mo. ²¹ Then sayde his lorde vnto hi: wel thou good & faithfull seruaunt, thou hast bene faithfull ouer litle, I wil set the ouer moch: entre thou in to the ioye of thy lorde. ²² The came he also that had receaued two talentes, and sayde: Syr, thou delyuerdst vnto me two talentes: Beholde, I haue wonne two other taletes with the. ²³ His lorde sayde vnto him: Wel thou good and faithfull seruaut, thou hast bene faithfull ouer litle, I wil set the ouer moch: entre thou in to the ioye of thy lorde. ²⁴ Then he that had receaued the one talet, came and sayde: Syr, I knew that thou art an hard man: thou reapest where thou hast not sowen, and gatherest where thou hast not strowed, ²⁵ and so I was afrayed, and wete and hyd thy talent in the earth: lo, there thou hast thine owne. ²⁶ But his lorde answered, and sayde vnto him: Thou euell and slouthfull seruaunt, knewest thou that I reape where I sowed not, and gather where I strawed not? ²⁷ Thou shuldest therfore haue had my money to the chaungers, and then at my commynge shulde I haue receaued myne owne with vauntage. ²⁸ Therfore take the talent fro him, and geue it vnto him that hath ten talentes. ²⁹ For who so hath, to him shalbe geuen, and he shal haue abundaunce. But who so hath not, fro him shalbe take awaye euen that he hath.

²⁹ For who so hath, to him shalbe geuen, and he shal haue abundaunce.

³¹ But whan the sonne of man shal come in his glory, and all holy angels with him, then shal he syt vpon the seate of his glory. ³² And all people shalbe gathered before him: and he shal separate them one from another as a shepherde deuydeth the shepe from ye goates.

³² And all people shalbe gathered before him: and he shal separate them one from another as a shepherde deuydeth the shepe from ye goates. ³³ And he shal set ye shepe on his right honde, and the goates on the lefte. ³⁴ Then shal the kynge saye vnto them that shalbe on his right honde: Come hither ye blessed of my father, inheret ye ye kingdome, which is prepared for you from the begynnynge of the worlde.

³⁶ I was naked, & ye clothed me: I was sicke, and ye vysited me: I was in preson, and ye came vnto me.

⁴¹ Then shal he saye also vnto them that shalbe on the left hande: Departe fro me ye cursed in to the euerlastinge fyre, which is prepared for the deuell and his angels.

²⁹ I saye vnto you: I wil not drynke hence forth of this frute of the vyne tre, vntill that daye that I shal drynke it new with you in my fathers kyngdome.

³¹ Then sayde Iesus vnto them. This night shal ye all be offended in me. For it is wrytten: I wil smyte the shepherde, and the shepe of the flocke shalbe scatered abrode.

³³ Peter answered and sayde vnto him: Though all men shulde be offended in ye, yet wyl I neuer be offeded.

¹³ And he wente forth agayne vnto the see, and all the people came vnto him, and he taught them.

²³ And he called them together, and spake vnto them in symilitudes:How can one Sathan dryue out another?

¹⁵ These be they that are by the waye syde: where the worde is sowne, and as soone as they haue herde it, immediatly commeth Satha, and taketh awaye the worde that was sowen in their hertes. ¹⁶ And likewyse are they that are sowen on the stonye grounde: which when they haue herde the worde, receaue it with ioye,

¹⁶ And likewyse are they that are sowen on the stonye grounde: which when they haue herde the worde, receaue it with ioye, ¹⁷ and haue no rote in them: but endure for a tyme. When trouble and persecucion aryseth for ye wordes sake, immediatly they are offended.

¹⁷ and haue no rote in them: but endure for a tyme. When trouble and persecucion aryseth for ye wordes sake, immediatly they are offended.

¹⁷ and haue no rote in them: but endure for a tyme. When trouble and persecucion aryseth for ye wordes sake, immediatly they are offended. ¹⁸ And these are they that are sowen amoge the thornes: which heare the worde,

¹⁸ And these are they that are sowen amoge the thornes: which heare the worde, ¹⁹ and ye carefulues of this worlde, and the disceatfulnes of riches, and many other lustes entre in, and choke the worde, and so is it made vnfrutefull.

¹⁹ and ye carefulues of this worlde, and the disceatfulnes of riches, and many other lustes entre in, and choke the worde, and so is it made vnfrutefull. ²⁰ And these are they yt are sowen vpo a good grounde: Which heare ye worde, and receaue it, and brynge forth frute: some thirtie folde, and some sixtie folde, and some an hundreth folde.

²⁰ And these are they yt are sowen vpo a good grounde: Which heare ye worde, and receaue it, and brynge forth frute: some thirtie folde, and some sixtie folde, and some an hundreth folde.

²³ Who so hath eares to heare, let him heare. ²⁴ And he sayde vnto them: Take hede what ye heare. With what measure ye mete, with the same shal it be measured vnto you agayne. And vnto you that heare this, shal more be geuen. ²⁵ For who so hath, vnto him shal be geuen: and who so hath not, from him shalbe taken awaye, euen that he hath. ²⁶ And he sayde: The kyngdome of God is after this maner, as when a man casteth sede vpon the londe,

²⁶ And he sayde: The kyngdome of God is after this maner, as when a man casteth sede vpon the londe, ²⁷ and slepeth, and stondeth vp night and daye, and the sede spryngeth vp, & groweth, he not knowinge of it.

²⁷ and slepeth, and stondeth vp night and daye, and the sede spryngeth vp, & groweth, he not knowinge of it. ²⁸ (For the earth bryngeth forth frute of her selfe: first the grasse, afterwarde the eare, then the full wheate in the eare)

²⁸ (For the earth bryngeth forth frute of her selfe: first the grasse, afterwarde the eare, then the full wheate in the eare) ²⁹ But whan she hath brought forth the frute, he putteth to the syckell, because the haruest is come.

²⁹ But whan she hath brought forth the frute, he putteth to the syckell, because the haruest is come. ³⁰ And he sayde: Where vnto wyl we licken the kyngdome of God? Or by what symilitude wyl we compare it?

³⁰ And he sayde: Where vnto wyl we licken the kyngdome of God? Or by what symilitude wyl we compare it? ³¹ It is like a grayne of mustarde sede, which wha it is sowe vpo the londe, is the leest amonge all sedes of the earth. ³² And wha it is sowen, it groweth vp, and is greater then all herbes, and getteth greate braunches, so yt the foules vnder the heaue maye dwell vnder ye shadowe therof. ³³ And by many soch parables he spake the worde vnto the, there after as they might heare it,

³³ And by many soch parables he spake the worde vnto the, there after as they might heare it,

³³ And by many soch parables he spake the worde vnto the, there after as they might heare it, ³⁴ & without parables spake he nothinge vnto them: but vnto his disciples he expounded all thinges pryuately.

³⁴ & without parables spake he nothinge vnto them: but vnto his disciples he expounded all thinges pryuately.

³⁴ & without parables spake he nothinge vnto them: but vnto his disciples he expounded all thinges pryuately. ³⁵ And the same daye at euen he sayde vnto them: let us passe ouer.

¹ And he departed thence, and came in to his awne countre, and his disciples folowed him. ² And wha ye Sabbath came, he begane to teach in their synagoge. And many that herde it, marueled at his lernynge, and sayde: From whece hath he these thinges? And what wyssdome is this, yt is geue him: & soch actes as are done by his handes? ³ Is not this the Carpenter the sonne of Mary, and the brother of Iames and Ioses, and of Iude and Symon? Are not his sisters here with vs also? And they were offended at him.

³ Is not this the Carpenter the sonne of Mary, and the brother of Iames and Ioses, and of Iude and Symon? Are not his sisters here with vs also? And they were offended at him. ⁴ But Iesus saide vnto the: A prophet is nowhere lesse set by, the in his awne countre, & at home amonge his awne. ⁵ And he coude not shew one miracle there, but layed his handes vpon a few sicke, and healed them. ⁶ And he marueyled at their vnbeleue.And he wente aboute in the townes on euery syde, and taught them.

¹⁴ And it came to kynge Herods eares (for his name was now knowne) and he sayde: Ihon the baptist is rysen agayne from the deed, and therfore are his dedes so mightie.

²⁰ Notwithstodinge Herode feared Iho, for he knew that he was a iust and holy man: and he kepte him, and herkened vnto him in many thinges, and herde him gladly.

⁴⁵ And anone he caused his disciples to go in to the shippe, and to passe ouer before him vnto Bethsaida, whyle he sent awaye the people.

¹⁴ And he called vnto him all the people, and sayde vnto them: Herken vnto me ye all, and vnderstonde me. ¹⁵ There is nothinge without a man, that can defyle him, whan it entreth in to him. But that goeth out of him, that is it that maketh the man vncleane.

¹⁷ And whan he came from the people in to ye house, his disciples axed him of this symilitude. ¹⁸ And he sayde vnto them: Are ye so then without vnderstondinge? Perceaue ye not yet, yt euery thinge which is without, and goeth in to the ma, can not defyle him?

⁹ And they yt ate, were vpo a foure thousande. And he sent the awaye.

¹⁷ And Iesus vnderstode that, and sayde vnto them: Why trouble ye youre selues, that ye haue no bred? Are ye yet without vnderstondinge? Haue ye yet a blynded hert in you? ¹⁸ Haue ye eyes, & se not? and haue ye eares, and heare not? and remebre ye not,

³⁴ And he called vnto him the people with his disciples, and sayde vnto them: Who so euer wyl folowe me, let him denye himself, and take vp his crosse, and folowe me. ³⁵ For who so euer wyl saue his life, shal lose it: and who so euer loseth his life for my sake and ye gospels, ye same shal saue it. ³⁶ What helpeth it a ma though he wane the whole worlde, and yet toke harme in his soule?

⁴³ Yf thy hade offende the, cut him of. Better it is for the to entre in to life lame, the hauynge two hondes to go in to hell in to the euerlastinge fyre, ⁴⁴ where their worme dyeth not, and their fyre goeth not out. ⁴⁵ Yf thy fote offende the, cut him of. Better it is for the to entre into life crepell, the hauynge two fete to be cast in to hell in the fyre euerlastynge, ⁴⁶ where their worme dyeth not, and their fyre goeth not out. ⁴⁷ Yf thine eye offende the, cast him from the. Better it is for the to entre in to ye kyngdome of God with one eye, then hauynge two eyes to be cast in to the fyre of hell: ⁴⁸ where their worme dyeth not, and their fyre goeth not out. ⁴⁹ For euery ma must be salted wt fyre, & euery offerynge shalbe seasoned wt salt.

¹⁵ Verely I saye vnto you: Who so euer receaueth not the kyngdome of God as a childe, he shal not entre therin.

²³ And Iesus loked aboute him, and sayde vnto his disciples: O how hardly shal the ryche come into ye kyngdome of God? ²⁴ And the disciples were astonnyed at his wordes. But Iesus answered agayne, and sayde vnto them: Deare children, how harde is it for them that trust in riches, to come into the kyngdome of God? ²⁵ It is easier for a Camell to go thorow the eye of a nedle, then for a rich man to entre in to ye kyngdome of God.

²⁸ Then sayde Peter vnto him: Beholde, we haue forsaken all, and folowed the. ²⁹ Iesus answered & sayde: Verely I saye vnto you: There is no man that forsaketh house, or brethren, or sisters, or father or mother, or wife, or children, or londes for my sake and the gospels, ³⁰ that shal not receaue an hundreth folde now in this tyme, houses, and brethre, and sisters, and mothers and children, and londes with persecucions, and in the worlde to come euerlastinge life. ³¹ But many that are the first, shal be the last: and the last the first.

¹ And he beganne to speake vnto them by parables: A certayne ma planted a vynyarde, and made a hedge aboute it, and dygged a wynne presse, and buylded a tower, and let it out vnto hussbande men, and wente in to a straunge countre.

⁹ What shal now the lorde of the vynyarde do? He shal come and destroye the hussbande men, and geue the vynyarde vnto other.

¹² And they wente aboute to take him (but they feared the people) for they perceaued, that he had spoke this parable agaynst the. And they left him, and wente their waye.

¹² One brother shal delyuer another vnto death, and the father the sonne, & the children shal ryse ageynst their fathers and mothers, and shal helpe them to death, ¹³ and ye shal be hated of all men for my names sake. But who so endureth to the ende, shalbe saued.

²⁰ And yf ye LORDE had not shortened those dayes, there shulde no man be saued. But for the electes sake whom he hath chosen, he hath shortened those dayes.

²⁷ And the shal he sende his angels, and shal gather together his chosen fro the foure wyndes, from one ende of the earth to the other.

⁴⁰ And there were wemen there also, which behelde this afarre of, amoge who was Mary Magdalene, & Mary of Iames ye litle, & the mother of Ioses, & Salome,

⁴⁷ But Mary Magdalene and Mary Ioses behelde, where he was layed.

¹⁵ And he sayde vnto them: Go ye youre waye in to all the worlde, and preach the gospell vnto all creatures. ¹⁶ Who so beleueth and is baptysed, shalbe saued: but who so beleueth not, shalbe damned. ¹⁷ As for the tokens, which shal folowe the that beleue, these are they: In my name shal they cast out deuyls: Speake with new tunges: ¹⁸ Dryue awaye serpetes: And yf they drynke eny deedly thinge, it shal not hurte them: They shal laye their handes vpo the sicke, and they shal recouer. ¹⁹ And the LORDE, after that he had spoken vnto them, was taken vp in to heauen, and sytteth at the right hade of God. ²⁰ And they wente out, and preached euery where. And the LORDE wrought with them, and confirmed the worde with tokens folowynge.

²⁷ vnto a virgin that was spoused vnto a man, whose name was Ioseph, of the house of Dauid, and the virgins name was Mary.

⁵ that he might be taxed wt Mary his spoused wife, which was wt childe. ⁶ And it fortuned whyle they were there, ye tyme was come, that she shulde be delyuered. ⁷ And she brought forth hir first begotte sonne, & wrapped him in swadlinge clothes, and layed him in a maunger: for they had els no rowme in the ynne.

²⁹ LORDE, now lettest thou thy seruaut departe in peace, acordinge to thy promesse. ³⁰ For myne eyes haue sene thy Sauioure,

³⁴ And Symeon blessed them, and sayde vnto Mary his mother: Beholde, this (childe) shalbe set to a fall, and to an vprysinge agayne of many in Israel, and for a token, which shalbe spoke agaynst. ³⁵ And the swerde shal pearse thy soule, that the thoughtes of many hertes maye be opened.

¹⁷ Whose fanne is in his hande, and he shal pourge his floore, and shal gather ye wheate in to his barne, and shal burne the chaffe with vnquencheable fyre.

²³ And Iesus was aboute thirtie yeares whan he beganne. And he was taken for the sonne of Ioseph, which was the sonne of Eli,

¹⁶ And he came vnto Nazareth where he was noursed, and as his custome was, he wete in to the synagoge vpon ye Sabbath, and stode vp for to rede. ¹⁷ Then was there delyuered him the boke of ye prophet Esay. And whan he had turned ouer the boke, he founde the place where it is wrytten: ¹⁸ The sprete of the LORDE is with me, because he hath anoynted me: to preach the Gospell vnto ye poore hath he sent me: to heale the broken harted: to preach delyuerauce to the captyue, and sight to the blynde: and frely to set at liberty them that are brused: ¹⁹ and to preach the acceptable yeare of the LORDE. ²⁰ And whan he had closed the boke, he gaue it agayne to ye mynister, & sat him downe. And the eyes of all that were in the synagoge, were fastened on him. ²¹ And he begane to saye vnto them: This daye is this scripture fulfilled in youre eares. ²² And they all gaue him wytnesse, and wodred at the gracious wordes, which proceaded out of his mouth, and they saide: Is not this Iosephs sonne?

²² And they all gaue him wytnesse, and wodred at the gracious wordes, which proceaded out of his mouth, and they saide: Is not this Iosephs sonne? ²³ And he sayde vnto them: Doutles ye wyl saye vnto me this prouerbe: Phisician, heale thyself. For how greate thinges haue we herde done at Capernau? Do the same here also in thine owne countre. ²⁴ But he saide: Verely I saye vnto you: There is no prophet accepted in his owne countre.

²⁴ But he saide: Verely I saye vnto you: There is no prophet accepted in his owne countre. ²⁵ Neuertheles of a trueth I saye vnto you: There were many wedowes in Israel in ye tyme of Elias, wha the heaue was shut thre yeares and sixe monethes, and whan there was a greate derth in all the lande:

²⁵ Neuertheles of a trueth I saye vnto you: There were many wedowes in Israel in ye tyme of Elias, wha the heaue was shut thre yeares and sixe monethes, and whan there was a greate derth in all the lande: ²⁶ & to none of the was Elias sent, but onely vnto Sarepta of the Sydonyans to a wedowe.

²⁶ & to none of the was Elias sent, but onely vnto Sarepta of the Sydonyans to a wedowe. ²⁷ And many lepers were there in Israel in the tyme of Eliseus ye prophet, and none of the was clensed, saue onely Naaman of Syria.

²⁷ And many lepers were there in Israel in the tyme of Eliseus ye prophet, and none of the was clensed, saue onely Naaman of Syria. ²⁸ And as many as were in the synagoge, wha they herde yt, were fylled with wrath.

²⁸ And as many as were in the synagoge, wha they herde yt, were fylled with wrath. ²⁹ And they rose vp, and thrust him out of the cite, and led him vp to the edge of the hyll whervpo their cite was buylded, that they might cast him downe headlynge.

²⁹ And they rose vp, and thrust him out of the cite, and led him vp to the edge of the hyll whervpo their cite was buylded, that they might cast him downe headlynge. ³⁰ But he wente his waye euen thorow the myddest of them,

³ Then wente he in to one of the shippes, which was Symons, and prayed him, yt he wolde thrust out a litle fro the londe. And he sat him downe, and taught the people out of ye shippe.

¹⁰ and so were Iames and Ihon also the sonnes of Zebede, which were Symons companyons. And Iesus sayde vnto Symo: Feare not, for fro hence forth thou shalt take men.

⁴³ For it is no good tre, yt bryngeth forth euell frute: and no euell tre yt bringeth forth good frute. ⁴⁴ Euery tre is knowne by his frute. For me gather not fygges of thornes, ner grapes of busshes.

²³ and blessed is he, that is not offended at me.

⁴ Now wha moch people were gathered together, and haisted vnto him out of the cities, He spake by a symilitude:

⁴ Now wha moch people were gathered together, and haisted vnto him out of the cities, He spake by a symilitude: ⁵ There wente out a sower to sowe his sede, & whyle he was sowynge, some fell by the waye syde, and was trodde vnder fote, and the foules of the ayre ate it vp.

⁵ There wente out a sower to sowe his sede, & whyle he was sowynge, some fell by the waye syde, and was trodde vnder fote, and the foules of the ayre ate it vp. ⁶ And some fell on stone, and whan it was spronge vp, it wythred awaye, because it had no moystnesse.

⁶ And some fell on stone, and whan it was spronge vp, it wythred awaye, because it had no moystnesse. ⁷ And some fell amonge thornes, and the thornes sprange vp with it, and choked it.

⁷ And some fell amonge thornes, and the thornes sprange vp with it, and choked it. ⁸ And some fell vpo a good grounde, and sprange vp, and bare frute an hundreth folde. Wha he sayde this he cryed: Who so hath eares to heare, let him heare.

⁸ And some fell vpo a good grounde, and sprange vp, and bare frute an hundreth folde. Wha he sayde this he cryed: Who so hath eares to heare, let him heare. ⁹ And his disciples axed him, and sayde: What symilitude is this? ¹⁰ And he sayde: Vnto you it is geue, to knowe the mysteryes of the kyngdome of God, but vnto the other in parables, yt though they se it, they shulde not se it, and though they heare it, they shulde not vnderstonde.

¹⁰ And he sayde: Vnto you it is geue, to knowe the mysteryes of the kyngdome of God, but vnto the other in parables, yt though they se it, they shulde not se it, and though they heare it, they shulde not vnderstonde. ¹¹ This is the parable: The sede is the worde of God: ¹² As for those that are by ye waye syde, they are they that heare it, afterwarde commeth the deuell, and taketh awaye the worde out of their hertes, that they shulde not beleue, and be saued. ¹³ But they on ye stone, are soch as whan they heare it, receaue the worde with ioye, and these haue no rote: they beleue for a whyle, and in the tyme of temptacion they fall awaye.

¹³ But they on ye stone, are soch as whan they heare it, receaue the worde with ioye, and these haue no rote: they beleue for a whyle, and in the tyme of temptacion they fall awaye. ¹⁴ As for it that fel amonge the thornes, are soch as heare it, and go forth amonge the cares, riches and volupteousnesses of this life, and are choked and brynge forth no frute.

¹⁴ As for it that fel amonge the thornes, are soch as heare it, and go forth amonge the cares, riches and volupteousnesses of this life, and are choked and brynge forth no frute. ¹⁵ But that on the good grounde, are they that heare the worde, and kepe it in a pure good hert, and brynge forth frute in pacience.

¹⁵ But that on the good grounde, are they that heare the worde, and kepe it in a pure good hert, and brynge forth frute in pacience.

¹⁸ Take hede therfore how ye heare. For who so hath, vnto him shalbe geue: but who so hath not, from him shalbe taken awaye, eue the same that he thynketh to haue.

² And he sent the out to preach the kyngdome of God, and to heale ye sicke,

²³ Then sayde he vnto them all: Yf eny ma wil folowe me, let hi denie himself, & take vp his crosse daylie, & folowe me. ²⁴ For who so euer wil saue his life, shal lose it. But who so loseth his life for my sake, shal saue it. ²⁵ For what auauntage hath a man, though he wanne the whole worlde, and loseth himself, or runneth in dammage of himself? ²⁶ Who so is ashamed of me and of my sayenges, of him shall the sonne of ma also be ashamed, whan he commeth in his glory, and in the glory of his father, and of the holy angels.

⁴⁴ Comprehende these sayenges in youre eares. For the sonne of man must be delyuered in to the hades of men. ⁴⁵ But they wyst not what that worde meaned, and it was hyd from them, that they vnderstode it not. And they were afrayed to axe him of that worde.

⁴⁹ Then answered Iho, and sayde: Master, we sawe one dryue out deuels in thy name, and we forbad him, for he folowed the not with vs. ⁵⁰ And Iesus saide vnto him: For byd him not, for he that is not agaynst vs, is for vs. ⁵¹ And it fortuned whan the tyme was fulfylled that he shulde be receaued vp from hence, he turned his face to go straight to Ierusalem, ⁵² and before him he sent messaungers, which wente their waye, and came into a towne of the Samaritans, to prepare lodginge for him. ⁵³ And they wolde not receaue him, because he had turned his face to go to Ierusale. ⁵⁴ But whan his disciples Iames and Ihon sawe that, they sayde: LORDE, wilt thou, that we commaunde, that fyre fall downe from heauen, and consume them, as Elias dyd?

⁹ And heale the sicke that are there, and saye vnto them: The kyngdome of God is come nye vnto you.

¹⁴ Neuertheles it shalbe easyer for Tyre and Sidon at the iudgment, then for you.

¹⁶ He that heareth you, heareth me: and he that despyseth you, despyseth me: but who so despyseth me, despyseth him yt sent me.

²³ And he turned him vnto his disciples, and sayde in especiall: Blessed are the eyes, which se that ye se. ²⁴ For I saye vnto you: Many prophetes and kynges, wolde haue sene the thynges that ye se, and haue not sene them: and to haue herde the thynges that ye heare, and haue not herde them.

²⁴ For I saye vnto you: Many prophetes and kynges, wolde haue sene the thynges that ye se, and haue not sene them: and to haue herde the thynges that ye heare, and haue not herde them.

³⁹ And she had a sister, called Mary, which sat hir downe at Iesus fete, and herkened vnto his worde. ⁴⁰ But Martha made hirself moch to do, for to serue him. And she stepte vnto him, and sayde: LORDE, carest thou not, that my sister letteth me serue alone? Byd her therfore, that she helpe me. ⁴¹ But Iesus answered, and sayde vnto her: Martha Martha, thou takest thought, and combrest thy self aboute many thinges: ⁴² there is but one thinge nedefull. Mary hath chosen a good parte, which shal not be taken awaye from her.

⁴² there is but one thinge nedefull. Mary hath chosen a good parte, which shal not be taken awaye from her.

⁴⁹ Therfore sayde the wyssdome of God: I wil sende prophetes and Apostles vnto the: and some of them shal they put to death and persecute,

¹⁵ And he sayde vnto them: Take hede, and bewarre of couetousnesse, for no man lyueth therof, that he hath abundaunce of goodes.

²⁰ But God sayde vnto him: Thou foole, this night shal they requyre thy soule from the, and whose shal it be that thou hast prepared? ²¹ Thus goeth it with him yt gathereth treasure for himself, and is not riche in God.

²¹ Thus goeth it with him yt gathereth treasure for himself, and is not riche in God.

²⁹ Axe not ye therfore what ye shal eate, or what ye shal drynke, and clymme not vp an hye: ³⁰ The Heithen in the worlde seke after all soch thinges.

³² Feare not thou litle flocke, for it is youre fathers pleasure to geue you the kyngdome.

⁴¹ But Peter sayde vnto him: LORDE, tellest thou this symilitude vnto vs, or to all men also?

⁹ yf it wyl brynge forth frute: Yf no, then cut it downe afterwarde.

¹⁸ And he sayde: What is the kyngdome of God like? Or wher vnto shal I copare it?

¹⁸ And he sayde: What is the kyngdome of God like? Or wher vnto shal I copare it? ¹⁹ It is like a grayne of mustarde sede, which a man toke, and cast in his garden: and it grewe, and waxed a greate tre, and the foules of the ayre dwelt amonge the braunches of it. ²⁰ And agayne he sayde: Where vnto shal I licken the kyngdome of God? ²¹ It is like vnto leuen, which a woman toke, and myxte it amoge thre peckes of meele, tyll it was all leuended.

²⁶ Then shal ye begynne to saye: We haue eaten and dronken before the, and thou hast taught vs vpon ye stretes. ²⁷ And he shal saye: I tell you, I knowe you not whence ye are. Departe fro me all ye workers of iniquyte.

²⁷ And he shal saye: I tell you, I knowe you not whence ye are. Departe fro me all ye workers of iniquyte. ²⁸ There shalbe wepynge and gnasshinge of teth, when ye shal se Abraham, and Isaac, and Iacob and all the prophetes in ye kyngdome of God, and youre selues thrust out,

²⁸ There shalbe wepynge and gnasshinge of teth, when ye shal se Abraham, and Isaac, and Iacob and all the prophetes in ye kyngdome of God, and youre selues thrust out,

¹⁶ But he sayde vnto him: A certayne ma made a greate supper, and called many ther to. ¹⁷ And in ye houre of the supper he sent his seruaute, to saye vnto the yt were bydde: Come, for now are all thinges ready. ¹⁸ And they begane all together to excuse the selues one after another: The first saide vnto hi: I haue bought a ferme, and I must nedes go forth and se it, I praye ye haue me excused. ¹⁹ And ye seconde sayde: I haue bought fyue yoke of oxen, and now I go to proue them, I praye the haue me excused. ²⁰ And the thirde sayde: I haue maried a wife, therfore can I not come. ²¹ And the seruaunt came, and brought his lorde worde agayne therof.Then was the good man of the house displeased, and sayde vnto his seruaut: Go out quyckly in to the stretes and quarters of ye cite, and brynge in hither the poore and crepell, and lame and blynde.

²¹ And the seruaunt came, and brought his lorde worde agayne therof.Then was the good man of the house displeased, and sayde vnto his seruaut: Go out quyckly in to the stretes and quarters of ye cite, and brynge in hither the poore and crepell, and lame and blynde. ²² And the seruaut sayde: lorde, it is done as thou hast comaunded, and there is yet more rowme.

²² And the seruaut sayde: lorde, it is done as thou hast comaunded, and there is yet more rowme. ²³ And the lorde sayde vnto the seruaunt: Go out into the hye wayes, and to the hedges, and compell them to come in, that my house maye be fylled.

²³ And the lorde sayde vnto the seruaunt: Go out into the hye wayes, and to the hedges, and compell them to come in, that my house maye be fylled. ²⁴ But I saye vnto you: that none of these men which were bydden, shal taist of my supper.

²⁶ Yf eny man come vnto me, and hate not his father, mother, wife, childre, brethre, sisters, yee and his owne life also, he can not be my disciple. ²⁷ And whosoeuer beareth not his crosse, and foloweth me, can not be my disciple. ²⁸ Which of you is it yt wil buylde a tower, and sytteth not downe first and counteth ye cost, whether he haue sufficiet to perfourme, it? ²⁹ lest after he hath layed the foundacio, and is not able to perfourme it, all they that se it, begynne to laugh him to scorne, ³⁰ & to saye: This man beganne to buylde, and is not able to perfurme it. ³¹ Or what kynge wil go to make battayl agaynst another kynge, and sytteth not downe first, and casteth in his mynde, whether he be able with ten thousande, to mete him that commeth agaynst him with twentye thousande? ³² Or els, whyle the other is yet a greate waye of he sendeth embassage, and desyreth peace. ³³ So likewyse euery one of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, can not be my disciple.

³³ So likewyse euery one of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, can not be my disciple.

³ But he tolde the this symilitude, and sayde: ⁴ What man is he amonge you, that hath an hundreth shepe, and yf he loose one of the, that leaueth not the nyne and nyentye in the wyldernesse, and goeth after that which is lost tyll he fynde it? ⁵ And whan he hath founde it, he layeth it vpon his shulders with ioye: ⁶ and whan he commeth home, he calleth his fredes and neghbours, and sayeth vnto the: Reioyce with me, for I haue founde my shepe, yt was lost. ⁷ I saye vnto you: Eue so shal there be ioye in heauen ouer one synner that doth pennaunce, more then ouer nyne and nyentye righteous, which nede not repentaunce.

² And he called him, and sayde vnto him: How is it, that I heare this of the? geue acomptes of yi stewardshipe, for thou mayest be no longer stewarde.

²³ Now whan he was in the hell, he lift vp his eyes in the payne, and sawe Abraham afarre of, and Lazarus in his bosome: ²⁴ and he cried, and sayde: Father Abraham, haue mercy vpon me, and sende Lazarus, that he maye dyppe the typpe of his fynger in water, & coole my tonge, for I am tormeted in this flame. ²⁵ But Abraha saide: Remebre sonne, yt thou hast receaued good in yi life, & contrary wyse Lazarus receaued euell. But now is he comforted, and thou art tormented.

⁶ The LORDE sayde: Yf ye haue faith as a grayne of mustarde sede, and saye vnto this Molbery tre: Plucke thy self vp by the rotes, and plate thy self in the see, it shalbe obediet vnto you.

²³ Whan he herde that, he was sory, for he was very riche. ²⁴ Whan Iesus sawe that he was sory, he sayde: How hardly shal the riche come in to the kyngdome of God?

²⁴ Whan Iesus sawe that he was sory, he sayde: How hardly shal the riche come in to the kyngdome of God? ²⁵ It is easyer for a Camell to go thorow the eye of a nedle, the for a rich man to entre in to the kyngdome of God.

²⁸ Then sayde Peter: Beholde, we haue forsake all, and folowed the. ²⁹ He sayde vnto the: Verely I saye vnto you: There is no ma yt forsaketh house, or elders, or brethren, or wife, or children for the kyngdome of Gods sake, ³⁰ which shal not receaue moch more in this tyme, and euerlastinge life in the worlde to come.

⁶ And he came downe hastely, and receaued him with ioye. ⁷ Whan they sawe that, they murmured all, and sayde, yt he was gone in, to a synner. ⁸ But Zacheus stode forth, and sayde vnto the LORDE: Beholde LORDE, the half of my goodes geue I to the poore: and yf I haue defrauded eny man, I restore him foure folde.

¹¹ Now whyle they herkened, he tolde a symilitude also, because he was nye vnto Ierusalem, and because they thought, that the kyngdome of God shulde appeare immediatly.

²⁴ And he sayde vnto them that stode by: Take ye pounde from him, and geue it vnto him that hath ten pounde. ²⁵ And they sayde vnto him: Syr, he hath ten pounde already. ²⁶ But I saye vnto you: Whosoeuer hath, vnto him shal be geue: but from him that hath not, shal be taken awaye euen that he hath.

⁹ And he beganne to tell the people this symilitude: A certayne man planted a vynyarde, and let it out vnto hussbadmen, and wente himself in to a straunge countre for a greate season.

¹² But before all these, they shal laye handes vpon you, and persecute you, and delyuer you vp in to their synagoges and presons, and brynge you before kynges & prynces for my names sake. ¹³ But this shal happen vnto you for a wytnesse. ¹⁴ Be at a poynt therfore in youre hertes, that ye take no thought, how ye shal answere: ¹⁵ for I wil geue you mouth & wyssdome, agaynst the which all youre aduersaries shal not be able to speake ner to resist. ¹⁶ But ye shal be delyuered vp euen of youre elders, brethren, kynssfolkes and frendes, and some of you shal they put vnto death, ¹⁷ and ye shal be hated of euery man for my names sake, ¹⁸ and yet shal not one hayre of youre heade perishe.

³⁴ But take hede vnto youre selues, that yor hertes be not ouerlade with excesse of eatinge and with dronkennes, and with takinge of thought for lyuynge, and so this daye come vpo you vnawares.

²⁹ And I wil appoynte the kyngdome vnto you, euen as my father hath appoynted me,

¹⁰ It was Mary Magdalene, and Iohanna, and Mary Iames, and the other with them, that tolde this vnto the Apostles.

⁴⁷ and to let repentaunce and remyssion, of synnes be preached in his name amoge all nacions, and to begynne at Ierusale.

¹¹ He came in to his awne, and his awne receaued him not.

¹¹ He came in to his awne, and his awne receaued him not. ¹² But as many as receaued him, to them gaue he power to be the children of God: euen soch as beleue in his name. ¹³ Which are not borne of bloude, ner of the wyl of the flesh, ner of the wyl of man, but of God.

⁴⁵ Philippe founde Nathanael, and sayde vnto him: We haue founde him, of who Moses in the lawe, and ye prophetes haue wrytten, euen Iesus the sonne of Ioseph of Nazareth. ⁴⁶ And Nathanaell sayde vnto him: What good can come out of Nazareth? Philippe sayde vnto him: Come, and se.

¹⁹ But this is ye codempnacion, that the light is come in to the worlde, and men loued the darknesse more the ye light: for their workes were euell. ²⁰ Whosoeuer doth euell, hateth the light, and cometh not to the light, that his dedes shulde not be reproued.

⁴⁴ For Iesus himself testified, that a prophet is nothinge set by at home.

³⁵ He was a burnynge and shyninge light, but ye wolde haue reioysed a litle whyle in his light.

²⁶ Iesus answered the, & sayde: Verely verely I saye vnto you: Ye seke me not because ye sawe ye tokes, but because ye ate of the loaues, and were fylled.

³⁵ But Iesus sayde vnto the: I am yt bred of life. He that cometh vnto me, shal not huger: & he that beleueth on me, shal neuer thyrst.

⁴² and they sayde: Is not this Iesus, Iosephs sonne, whose father and mother we knowe? How sayeth he then, I am come downe from heauen?

⁶¹ But whan Iesus perceaued in hi self, that his discipes murmured ther at he sayde vnto them: Doth this offende you?

⁶¹ But whan Iesus perceaued in hi self, that his discipes murmured ther at he sayde vnto them: Doth this offende you? ⁶² What and yf ye shal se the sonne of man ascende vp thither, where he was afore? ⁶³ It is ye sprete that quyckeneth, ye flesh profiteth nothinge. The wordes that I speake, are sprete, and are life. ⁶⁴ But there are some amoge you, that beleue not. For Iesus knewe well from the begynnynge, which they were that beleued not, and who shulde betraye him. ⁶⁵ And he sayde: Therfore haue I sayde vnto you: No man can come vnto me, excepte it be geuen him of my father.

⁶⁵ And he sayde: Therfore haue I sayde vnto you: No man can come vnto me, excepte it be geuen him of my father.

⁷⁰ Iesus answered them. Haue I not chosen you twolue, and one of you is a deuell? ⁷¹ But he spake of Iudas Symon Iscarioth: the same betrayed him afterwarde, and was one of the twolue.

¹⁵ And the Iewes marueyled and sayde: How can he ye scrypture, seynge he hath not lerned it? ¹⁶ Iesus answered them, and sayde: My doctryne is not myne, but his that hath sent me. ¹⁷ Yf eny man wyl do his will, he shal knowe, whether this doctryne be of God, or whether I speake of my self.

⁴¹ Other sayde: He is Christ. But some sayde: Shal Christ come out of Galile? ⁴² Sayeth not the scripture, that Christ shal come of the sede of Dauid, and out of the towne of Bethleem, where Dauid was?

⁴³ Why knowe ye not the my speach? Eue because ye can not abyde the hearinge of my worde.

⁴³ Why knowe ye not the my speach? Eue because ye can not abyde the hearinge of my worde. ⁴⁴ Ye are of the father the deuell, and after the lustes of youre father wyl ye do. The same was a murthurer from the begynnynge, and abode not in the trueth: for the trueth is not in him. Whan he speaketh a lye, then speaketh he of his awne: for he is a lyar, and a father of the same.

⁴⁴ Ye are of the father the deuell, and after the lustes of youre father wyl ye do. The same was a murthurer from the begynnynge, and abode not in the trueth: for the trueth is not in him. Whan he speaketh a lye, then speaketh he of his awne: for he is a lyar, and a father of the same.

⁴⁷ He that is of God, heareth Gods worde. Therfore heare ye not, because ye are not of God.

⁵⁶ Abraham youre father was glad, that he shulde se my daye, And he sawe it, and reioysed.

²⁹ We are sure that God spake wt Moses: As for this felowe, we know not whece he is.

³⁹ And Iesus sayde: I am come to iudgmet in to this worlde, that they which se not, might se: and that they which se, might be made blynde. ⁴⁰ And some of the Pharises yt were with him, herde this, and sayde vnto him: Are we then blynde also? ⁴¹ Iesus sayde vnto the: Yf ye were blynde, ye shulde haue no synne. But now that ye saye, we se, therfore youre sonne remayneth.

²⁶ But ye beleue not, because ye are not of my shepe as I sayde vnto you. ²⁷ My shepe heare my voyce, & I knowe the, & they folowe me.

²⁴ Verely verely I saye vnto you: Excepte the wheatcorne fall in to the grounde, and dye, it bydeth alone: But yf it dye, it bryngeth forth moch frute. ²⁵ He that loueth his life, shal lose it: and he that hateth his life in this worlde, shal kepe it vnto life euerlastinge. ²⁶ He that wyl serue me, let him folowe me. And where I am, there shal my seruaunt be also: and he that serueth me, him shal my father honoure.

³⁹ Therfore coulde they not beleue, for Esay saide agayne: ⁴⁰ He hath blynded their eyes, and hardened their hert, that they shulde not se with the eyes, ner vnderstonde with the hert, & shulde be conuerted, and he shulde heale them.

²⁰ Verely verely I saye vnto you: He that receaueth whom so euer I sende, receaueth me: and he that receaueth me, receaueth him that sent me.

³⁴ A new comaundemet geue I you, that ye loue together as I haue loued you, yt euen so ye loue one another.

¹ I am a true vyne, and my father is an hussbande man. ² Euery braunch that bringeth not forth frute in me, shal he cut of: and euery one that bryngeth forth frute, shal he pourge, yt it maye bringe forth more frute.

² Euery braunch that bringeth not forth frute in me, shal he cut of: and euery one that bryngeth forth frute, shal he pourge, yt it maye bringe forth more frute.

² Euery braunch that bringeth not forth frute in me, shal he cut of: and euery one that bryngeth forth frute, shal he pourge, yt it maye bringe forth more frute. ³ Now are ye cleane, because of the worde, that I haue spoke vnto you.

³ Now are ye cleane, because of the worde, that I haue spoke vnto you. ⁴ Byde ye in me, and I in you. Like as ye braunch can not brynge forth frute of it self excepte it byde in the vyne, Euen so nether ye also, excepte ye abyde in me.

⁴ Byde ye in me, and I in you. Like as ye braunch can not brynge forth frute of it self excepte it byde in the vyne, Euen so nether ye also, excepte ye abyde in me. ⁵ I am the vyne, ye are the braunches. He that abydeth in me, and I in him, the same bryngeth forth moch frute: for without me can ye do nothinge.

⁵ I am the vyne, ye are the braunches. He that abydeth in me, and I in him, the same bryngeth forth moch frute: for without me can ye do nothinge.

⁵ I am the vyne, ye are the braunches. He that abydeth in me, and I in him, the same bryngeth forth moch frute: for without me can ye do nothinge. ⁶ He that abydeth not in me, is cast out as a vyne braunche, and it wythereth, and men gather it vp, and cast it in to the fyre, and it burneth.

⁶ He that abydeth not in me, is cast out as a vyne braunche, and it wythereth, and men gather it vp, and cast it in to the fyre, and it burneth.

⁶ He that abydeth not in me, is cast out as a vyne braunche, and it wythereth, and men gather it vp, and cast it in to the fyre, and it burneth. ⁷ Yf ye abyde in me, and my wordes abyde in you, ye shal axe what ye wyl, & it shal be done vnto you.

⁷ Yf ye abyde in me, and my wordes abyde in you, ye shal axe what ye wyl, & it shal be done vnto you. ⁸ Herin is my father praysed, that ye brynge forth moch frute, and become my disciples.

⁸ Herin is my father praysed, that ye brynge forth moch frute, and become my disciples.

¹⁶ Ye haue not chosen me, but I haue chosen you, and ordeyned you, that ye go, and bringe forth frute, and that youre frute contynne, that what soeuer ye axe the father in my name, he shulde geue it you.

¹² I haue yet moch to saye vnto you, but ye can not now beare it awaye: ¹³ howbeit whan he (the sprete of trueth commeth) he shal lede you in to all trueth. For he shal not speake of himself, but what soeuer he shal heare, that shal he speake: and he shall shewe you, what is for to come.

¹⁷ The saide some of his disciples amonge themselues: What is this that he sayeth vnto vs, After a litle whyle, and ye shal not se me: & agayne after a litle whyle, & ye shal se me: for I go to the father? ¹⁸ Then sayde they: What is this, that he sayeth: After a litle whyle? We can not tell what he sayeth. ¹⁹ Then perceaued Iesus that they wolde axe him, and he sayde vnto them: Ye enquyre of this amonge youre selues, that I sayde: After a litle whyle, and ye shal not se me: & agayne after a litle whyle, and ye shal se me. ²⁰ Verely verely I saye vnto you: Ye shal wepe and lamente, but the worlde shal reioyse: Ye shal be sory, but youre sorowe shal be turned in to ioye.

²⁵ These thinges haue I spoken vnto you by prouerbes. Neuertheles the tyme commeth, that I shal speake nomore by prouerbes, but I shal shewe you planely of my father.

⁷ Now knowe they, that all thinges what soeuer thou hast geuen me, are of the. ⁸ For ye wordes which thou gauest me, haue I geue vnto them, and they haue receaued them, & knowne of a trueth, that I am come forth from the, and haue beleued, that thou hast sent me.

²⁴ Father, I wil, that they whom thou hast geuen me, be with me where I am, yt they maye se my glory, which thou hast geue me: for thou hast loued me, or euer ye worlde was made.

³⁸ Pilate sayde vnto hi: What is the trueth? And whan he had sayde that he wete out agayne to the Iewes, and sayde vnto them: I fynde no gyltinesse in him:

²⁵ There stode by the crosse of Iesus, his mother, and his mothers sister Mary, the wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene.

²¹ The sayde Iesus vnto the agayne: Peace be with you. Like as my father sent me, eue so sede I you.

²⁹ Iesus sayde vnto him: Thomas, because thou hast sene me, thou hast beleued. Blessed are they, that se not, and yet beleue.

⁸ but ye shal receaue the power of ye holy goost, which shal come vpon you, and ye shalbe my witnesses at Ierusalem, and in all Iewrye and Samaria, and vnto the ende of the earth.

¹⁵ And in those dayes Peter stode vp in the myddes amonge the disciples, and sayde: (The company of the names together, was aboute an hundreth and twentye.)

⁴⁴ But all they that beleued, were together, and had all thinges commen. ⁴⁵ They solde their goodes and possessions, and parted them out amonge all, acordinge as euery ma had nede. ⁴⁶ And they contynued daylie with one acorde in the teple, and brake bred in euery house: they toke their meate with ioye & synglenesse of hert, ⁴⁷ praysinge God, and had fauoure with all ye people. And the LORDE added to the congregacion daylie soch as shulde be saued.

¹⁹ Do penaunce now therfore and turne you, that youre synnes maye be done awaye, whan the tyme of refreshinge shal come before the presence of the LORDE,

²² For Moses sayde vnto ye fathers: A prophet shal the LORDE youre God rayse vp vnto you, euen from amoge youre brethren, like vnto me: him shal ye heare, in all that he shal saye vnto you. ²³ And it shal come to passe, what soule soeuer shal not heare the same prophet, shal be destroyed from amonge the people.

¹³ They sawe the boldnesse of Peter & Ihon and marueyled, for they were sure yt they were vnlerned men and laye people. And they knewe the also, that they were wt Iesu.

³² The multitude of them that beleued, were of one hert and of one soule. Also none of them sayde of his goodes, that they were his awne, but had all thinges comen. ³³ And with greate power gaue the Apostles witnesse of the resurreccion of the LORDE Iesu, and greate grace was with them all. ³⁴ Nether was there eny amonge them that lacked. For as many as were possessers of londes or houses, solde the and brought ye money of the goodes that were solde, ³⁵ and layed it at the Apostles fete. And distribucion was made vnto euery ma, acordinge as he had nede.

¹ But a certayne man named Ananias with Saphira his wife, solde his possession,

¹ But a certayne man named Ananias with Saphira his wife, solde his possession, ² and kepte awaye parte of the money (his wife knowinge of it) and broughte one parte, & layed it at the Apostles fete.

² and kepte awaye parte of the money (his wife knowinge of it) and broughte one parte, & layed it at the Apostles fete. ³ But Peter sayde: Ananias, Wherfore hath Sathan fylled thine hert, that thou shuldest lye vnto the holy goost, and withdrawe awaye parte of the money of the lyuelod?

³ But Peter sayde: Ananias, Wherfore hath Sathan fylled thine hert, that thou shuldest lye vnto the holy goost, and withdrawe awaye parte of the money of the lyuelod? ⁴ Mightest thou not haue kepte it, whan thou haddest it? And whan it was solde, the money was also in thy power: Why hast thou then conceaued this thinge in thine hert? Thou hast not lyed vnto me, but vnto God.

⁴ Mightest thou not haue kepte it, whan thou haddest it? And whan it was solde, the money was also in thy power: Why hast thou then conceaued this thinge in thine hert? Thou hast not lyed vnto me, but vnto God. ⁵ Whan Ananias herde these wordes, he fell downe, & gaue vp the goost. And there came a greate feare vpon all the that herde of this.

⁵ Whan Ananias herde these wordes, he fell downe, & gaue vp the goost. And there came a greate feare vpon all the that herde of this. ⁶ The yonge men rose vp, and put him asyde, and caried him out, and buried him.

⁶ The yonge men rose vp, and put him asyde, and caried him out, and buried him. ⁷ And it fortuned as it were aboute ye space of thre houres after, his wife came in, and knewe not what was done.

⁷ And it fortuned as it were aboute ye space of thre houres after, his wife came in, and knewe not what was done. ⁸ But Peter answered vnto her. Tell me, solde ye the londe for somoch? She sayde: Yee, for so moch.

⁸ But Peter answered vnto her. Tell me, solde ye the londe for somoch? She sayde: Yee, for so moch. ⁹ Peter sayde vnto her: Why haue ye agreed together, to tempte the sprete of the LORDE? Beholde, the fete of the which haue buried thy hussbande, are at the dore, & shal carye the out.

⁹ Peter sayde vnto her: Why haue ye agreed together, to tempte the sprete of the LORDE? Beholde, the fete of the which haue buried thy hussbande, are at the dore, & shal carye the out. ¹⁰ And immediatly she fell downe at his fete, and gaue vp the goost. Then came in the yonge men, and founde her deed, and caried her out, and buried her by hir hussbade.

¹⁰ And immediatly she fell downe at his fete, and gaue vp the goost. Then came in the yonge men, and founde her deed, and caried her out, and buried her by hir hussbade. ¹¹ And there came a greate feare ouer the whole congregacion, and ouer all the that herde it.

³⁷ This is that Moses, which sayde vnto the children of Israel: A prophet shal the LORDE youre God rayse vp vnto you euen from amonge youre brethren, like vnto me. Him shal ye heare. ³⁸ This is he, that was in the congregacion in the wyldernesse with the angell, which talked with him, vpo mount Sina, and with oure fathers. This man receaued the worde of life to geue vnto vs, ³⁹ vnto whom oure fathers wolde not be obediet, but thrust him fro the, and in their hertes turned backe agayne in to Egipte,

⁵¹ Ye styffnecked & of vncircumcysed hertes and eares, ye allwaye resiste the holy goost: Eue as yor fathers dyd, so do ye also. ⁵² Which of the prophetes haue not yor fathers persecuted? And they slewe the, which tolde before of the comynge of ye righteous, whose traytours and murthurers ye are now become.

⁵⁷ But they cried out with a loude voyce, & stopped their eares, and rane violently vpon him all at once,

¹³ Then Symon himself beleued also, and was baptysed, and cleued vnto Philippe. And wha he sawe the dedes and tokens that were done, he wondred.

¹⁸ But whan Simon sawe, that by the layenge on of the Apostles hades ye holy goost was geuen, he offred the money,

¹⁸ But whan Simon sawe, that by the layenge on of the Apostles hades ye holy goost was geuen, he offred the money, ¹⁹ and sayde: Geue me also this power, that, on whomsoeuer I put the hodes, he maye receaue the holy goost. ²⁰ Howbeit Peter sayde vnto him: Perishe thou with thy money, because thou thinkest that ye gifte of God maye be optayned with money. ²¹ Thou shalt haue nether parte ner felashipe in this worde, for yi hert is not righte before God.

²¹ Thou shalt haue nether parte ner felashipe in this worde, for yi hert is not righte before God. ²² Repente therfore of this yi wickednesse, and praye vnto God, yf happly the thought of thy hert maye be forgeue ye.

²² Repente therfore of this yi wickednesse, and praye vnto God, yf happly the thought of thy hert maye be forgeue ye. ²³ For I se, yt thou art full of bytter gall, and wrapped in wt vnrighteousnesse.

³⁰ The ranne Philippe vnto him, and herde him rede the prophet Esay, and sayde: Vnderstodest thou what thou readest? ³¹ He sayde: How can I, excepte some ma enfourme me?And he desyred Philippe, that he wolde come vp, and syt with him.

¹⁰ and sayde: O thou childe of the deuell, full of all futtyltie and all disceatfulnesse, and enemye of all righteousnes, thou ceassest not to peruerte the straight wayes of ye LORDE.

⁴⁶ But Paul and Barnabas waxed bolde, and sayde: It behoued first the worde of God to be spoken vnto you: but now that ye thrust it fro you, and counte youre selues vnworthy of euerlastinge life, lo, we turne to the Gentyles.

¹⁸ Knowne vnto God are all his workes from the begynnynge of ye worlde.

¹⁴ And a deuoute woman (named Lydia) a seller of purple, out of the cite of Thiatira, herkened to, whose hert the LORDE opened that she gaue hede vnto the thinges that Paul spake.

¹¹ (for they were the Eldest amonge the at Thessalonica) which receaued the worde maruelous wyllingly, and searched the scriptures daylie, whether it were euen so.

¹¹ (for they were the Eldest amonge the at Thessalonica) which receaued the worde maruelous wyllingly, and searched the scriptures daylie, whether it were euen so. ¹² Then beleued many of them, and worshipfull wemen off the Grekes, and men not a fewe.

³² Whan they herde of the resurreccion of the deed, some mocked. But some sayde: We wyl heare the agayne of this matter.

¹⁵ but yf it be a question of wordes, and of names, and of ye lawe amoge you, loke ye to it youre selues, I thinke not to be iudge there ouer.

²⁴ But I regarde none of them, nether counte I my life dearer then my selfe, that I maye fulfyll my course with ioye, and the office yt I haue receaued of the LORDE Iesu, to testifye the Gospell of the grace of God. ²⁵ And now beholde, I knowe that ye shal se my face nomore, all ye, thorow whom I haue gone, and preached the kyngdome of God.

³⁰ Yee eue from amonge youre awne selues shal men aryse, speakynge peruerse doctryne, to drawe disciples after them.

³⁰ Yee eue from amonge youre awne selues shal men aryse, speakynge peruerse doctryne, to drawe disciples after them. ³¹ Therfore awake, and remembre, that by the space of thre yeares I ceassed not to warne euery one off you both nighte and daye with teares.

²⁰ Whan they herde that, they praysed the LORDE, and sayde vnto him: Brother, thou seyst how many thousande Iewes there are which beleue, and are all Zelous ouer ye lawe.

²⁵ Howbeit whan Paul spake off righteousnesse, and off chastite and off the iudgment to come, Felix trembled, and answered: Go thy waye for this tyme. Whan I haue a conuenyent tyme, I wil sende for the. ²⁶ He hoped also, that money shulde haue bene geuen him of Paul, therfore called he oft for him, and commened with him.

¹⁹ But had certayne questions agaynst him of their awne supersticions, and of one Iesus deed, whom Paul affirmed to be alyue. ²⁰ Howbeit because I vnderstode not the question, I axed hi, whether he wolde go to Ierusale, and there be iudged of these matters.

¹⁸ to ope their eyes, that they maye turne from the darknesse vnto the lighte, and from the power of ye deuell vnto God, that they maye receaue forgeuenesse of synnes, and the enheritaunce with them that are sanctified by faith in me.

³¹ and wente asyde, and talked together, and sayde: This man hath done nothinge that is worthy of death or of bondes. ³² But Agrippa sayde vnto Festus: This man mighte haue bene lowsed, yf he had not appealed vnto the Emperoure.

¹⁷ After thre dayes it fortuned, yt Paul called ye chefe of ye Iewes together. And wha they were come, he sayde vnto the: Ye me & brethre I haue comytted nothinge agaynst or people, ner agaynst ye lawes of ye fathers, yet was I boude, delyuered out of Ierusale in to ye Romaynes hades: ¹⁸ which wha they had examyned me, wolde haue let me go, for so moch as there was no cause of death i me. ¹⁹ But wha ye Iewes spake ye cotrary, I was costrayned to appeale vnto ye Emperor: not as though I had ought to accuse my people of. ²⁰ For this cause haue I called you, eue to se you, & to speake wt you: because yt for ye hope of Israel, I am bounde wt this cheyne. ²¹ They sayde vnto hi: We haue nether receaued letter out of Iewry cocernynge the, nether came there eny of the brethre, yt shewed or spake eny harme of ye. ²² But we wyl heare of ye what thou thinkest: for we haue herde of this secte, that euery where it is spoken agaynst. ²³ And wha they had appoynted hi a daye, there came many vnto hi in to his lodginge: vnto who he expouded ye kyngdome of God & preached vnto the of Iesu, out of ye lawe and out of the prophetes, eue fro mornynge vntyll the eue.

²³ And wha they had appoynted hi a daye, there came many vnto hi in to his lodginge: vnto who he expouded ye kyngdome of God & preached vnto the of Iesu, out of ye lawe and out of the prophetes, eue fro mornynge vntyll the eue. ²⁴ And some beleued ye thinge yt he sayde, but some beleued not. ²⁵ But wha they agreed not amoge the selues, they departed, wha Paul had spoke one worde: Full well hath the holy goost spoke by ye prophet Esay vnto or fathers,

²⁵ But wha they agreed not amoge the selues, they departed, wha Paul had spoke one worde: Full well hath the holy goost spoke by ye prophet Esay vnto or fathers, ²⁶ & sayde: Go vnto this people, and saye: With eares ye shal heare, & not vnderstode: & with eyes shal ye se, & not perceaue.

²⁶ & sayde: Go vnto this people, and saye: With eares ye shal heare, & not vnderstode: & with eyes shal ye se, & not perceaue. ²⁷ For ye hert of this people is waxed grosse, & they heare hardly wt their eares: & their eyes haue they closed, yt they shulde not once se wt their eyes, & heare wt their eares, & vnderstode i their hertes, and be couerted, yt I mighte heale the.

²⁷ For ye hert of this people is waxed grosse, & they heare hardly wt their eares: & their eyes haue they closed, yt they shulde not once se wt their eyes, & heare wt their eares, & vnderstode i their hertes, and be couerted, yt I mighte heale the. ²⁸ Be it knowne therfore vnto you, yt this saluacio of God is sent vnto ye Heythe, and they shal heare it.

²⁸ And as they regarded not to knowe God, euen so God gaue the vp in to a lewde mynde, to do those thinges which were not comly,

⁷ namely, prayse & honoure, and vncorrupcion, vnto them that with pacience in doinge good, seke euerlastinge life: ⁸ But vnto them that are contencious & not obedient vnto the trueth, but obeye vnrighteousnes, shal come indignacion and wrath,

⁸ But vnto them that are contencious & not obedient vnto the trueth, but obeye vnrighteousnes, shal come indignacion and wrath, ⁹ trouble and anguysh vpo all the soules of me that do euell, of the Iewe first and also of the Greke:

¹⁶ in the daye whan God shal iudge the secretes of men by Iesus Christ, acordinge to my Gospell.

¹⁸ for I knowe that in me (yt is, in my flesh) there dwelleth no good thinge.To wyll is present wt me, but to perfourme yt which is good,

¹⁷ Yf we be childre, then are we heyres also, namely the heyres of God, and heyres annexed with Christ, yf so be that we suffer together, that we maye be also glorified together.

¹⁸ But I saye: Haue they not herde? No doute their sounde wete out into all londes, and their wordes in to the endes of the worlde.

⁸ As it is wrytten: God hath geuen them the sprete of vnquyetnesse, eyes that they shulde not se, and eares that they shulde not heare, eue vnto this daye. ⁹ And Dauid sayeth: Let their table be made a snare to take the withall, & an occasion to fall, & a rewarde vnto the. ¹⁰ Let their eyes be blynded that they se not, and euer bowe downe their backes.

²⁰ Thou sayest well. They are broken of because off their vnbeleue, but thou stondest thorow beleue

¹⁷ For the kyngdome of God is not meate and drynke, but righteousnes, & peace, and ioye in the holy goost.

⁴ What so euer thinges are wrytte afore tyme, are wrytten for oure learnynge, that we thorow pacience and comforte off the scriptures, might haue hope.

¹⁸ For I durst not speake ought, excepte Christ had wroughte the same by me, to make the Heythen obediet thorow worde and dede,

¹⁸ For I durst not speake ought, excepte Christ had wroughte the same by me, to make the Heythen obediet thorow worde and dede, ¹⁹ thorow the power of tokens and wonders, and thorow the power of the sprete of God, so that from Ierusale, and roude aboute vnto Illyricon, I haue fylled all with the Gospell of Christ.

¹⁷ I beseke you brethren, marke them which cause deuysion & geue occasions of euell, contrary to ye doctryne which ye haue learned, & avoyde them.

¹⁷ I beseke you brethren, marke them which cause deuysion & geue occasions of euell, contrary to ye doctryne which ye haue learned, & avoyde them. ¹⁸ For they yt are soch, serue not the LORDE Iesu Christ, but their awne belly: & thorow swete preachinges & flateringe wordes, they disceaue ye hertes of ye innocentes.

²⁵ To him yt is of power to stablyshe you, acordinge to my Gospell & preachinge of Iesu Christ, wherby is vttered ye mystery which hath bene kepte secrete, sence ye worlde begane,

²⁵ To him yt is of power to stablyshe you, acordinge to my Gospell & preachinge of Iesu Christ, wherby is vttered ye mystery which hath bene kepte secrete, sence ye worlde begane, ²⁶ but now is opened, & shewed by the scriptures of ye prophetes, at the comaundemet of the euerlastinge God, to set vp ye obediece of the faith amonge all Heythen:

²⁶ but now is opened, & shewed by the scriptures of ye prophetes, at the comaundemet of the euerlastinge God, to set vp ye obediece of the faith amonge all Heythen:

¹¹ For it is shewed me (my brethren) of you, by them which are of ye housholde of Cloes, that there is stryfe amonge you. I speake of that, ¹² which euery one of you sayeth: I holde of Paul. Another, I holde of Apollo. The thirde, I holde of Cephas. The fourth, I holde off Christ. ¹³ Is Christ then deuyded in partes? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were ye baptysed in ye name of Paul?

²³ But we preach Christ the crucified: to the Iewes an occasion off fallinge, and vnto the Grekes foolishnes. ²⁴ But vnto them that are called (both Iewes and Grekes) we preach Christ the power of God and the wyssdome off God. ²⁵ For the foolishnes of God is wyser then men: and the weaknes of God is stroger the men. ²⁶ Brethren loke on youre callinge, how that not many wyseme after the flesh, not many mightie, not many of hye degre are called: ²⁷ but that foolish is before the worlde, hath God chosen, that he mighte cofounde the wyse: And that weake is before ye worlde, hath God chosen, yt he mighte confounde the mightye. ²⁸ And the vyle and despysed before the worlde hath God chosen, yee and that which is nothinge, that he mighte destroye that which is oughte,

⁷ but we speake of the wyssdome of God, which is in secrete and lyeth hyd: which God ordeyned before the worlde vnto oure glorye:

⁹ but as it is wrytten: The eye hath not sene, and the eare hath not herde, nether hath it entred in to the hert of man that God hath prepared for them that loue him. ¹⁰ But God hath opened it vnto vs by his sprete. For the sprete searcheth out all thinges, yee euen the depenesses of the God heade.

¹⁴ Howbeit the naturall man perceaueth nothinge of ye sprete of God. It is foolishnes vnto him, and he can not perceaue it: for it must be spiritually discerned.

⁵ What is Paul? What is Apollo? Eue mynisters are they, by whom ye are come to the beleue, and the same, acordinge as the LORDE hath geuen vnto euery man.

⁵ What is Paul? What is Apollo? Eue mynisters are they, by whom ye are come to the beleue, and the same, acordinge as the LORDE hath geuen vnto euery man. ⁶ I haue planted, Apollo hath watred, but God hath geuen the increase.

⁶ I haue planted, Apollo hath watred, but God hath geuen the increase. ⁷ So then nether is he that planteth, eny thinge, nether he that watreth, but God which geueth the increase.

⁷ So then nether is he that planteth, eny thinge, nether he that watreth, but God which geueth the increase. ⁸ As for him that planteth, and he that watreth, ye one is as the other: but yet shal euery one receaue his rewarde acordinge to his laboure. ⁹ For we are Gods labourers, ye are Gods hussbandry, ye are Gods buyldinge.

²¹ Therfore let no man reioyse in men. For all is youres, ²² whether it be Paul or Apollo, whether it be Cephas or the worlde, whether it be life or death, whether it be presente or for to come. All is youres, ²³ but ye are Christes, and Christ is Gods.

¹ Let euery man this wyse esteme vs, euen for the mynisters of Christ, and stewardes of the secretes of God.

⁵ Therfore iudge ye nothinge before ye tyme, vntyll the LORDE come, which shal brynge it to lighte that is hyd in darknesse, and ope the councels of ye hertes, and the shal euery one haue prayse of God.

⁷ For who preferreth the? What hast thou that thou hast not receaued? Yf thou hast receaued it, why makest thou the thy boost, as though thou haddest not receaued it?

¹ There goeth a commen reporte, that there is whordome amoge you, and soch whordome, as is not once named amoge the Heythen, that one shulde haue his fathers wife. ² And ye are puft vp, and haue not rather sorowed, that he which hath done this dede, mighte be put fro amoge you. ³ For I verely as absent in body, but present in sprete, haue determyned allready as though I were present (cocernynge him that hath done this dede)

³ For I verely as absent in body, but present in sprete, haue determyned allready as though I were present (cocernynge him that hath done this dede) ⁴ in ye name of oure LORDE Iesus Christ, wha ye are gathered together with my sprete, and with the power of oure LORDE Iesus Christ,

⁴ in ye name of oure LORDE Iesus Christ, wha ye are gathered together with my sprete, and with the power of oure LORDE Iesus Christ, ⁵ to delyuer him vnto Sathan for the destruccion of the flesh, that the sprete maye be saued in the daye of the LORDE Iesus.

⁵ to delyuer him vnto Sathan for the destruccion of the flesh, that the sprete maye be saued in the daye of the LORDE Iesus. ⁶ Youre reioysinge is not good. Knowe ye not that a litle leuen sowereth the whole lompe of dowe.

⁶ Youre reioysinge is not good. Knowe ye not that a litle leuen sowereth the whole lompe of dowe. ⁷ Pourge out therfore the olde leuen, that ye maye be new dowe, like as ye are swete bred. For we also haue an Easter lambe, which is Christ, that is offred for vs.

¹ Brethren, I wolde not that ye shulde be ignoraunt of this, that oure fathers were all vnder the cloude, and all passed thorow the see, ² & were all baptised vnder Moses in the cloude and in the see, ³ and dyd all eate of one spirituall meate, ⁴ and dyd all drynke of one spirituall drynke: but they dronke of the spirituall rocke that folowed the, which rocke was Christ. ⁵ Neuertheles in many of them had God no delyte, for they were smytten downe in the wyldernesse. ⁶ These are ensamples vnto vs, yt we shulde not lust after euell thinges, as they lusted. ⁷ Nether be ye worshippers off ymages, as were some of them. Acordinge as it is wrytte: The people sat downe to eate and drynke, and rose vp to playe. ⁸ Nether let vs commytte whordome, as some of them comytted whordome, and fell in one daye thre & twenty thousande. ⁹ Nether let vs tempte Christ, as some of them tempted him, and were destroyed of serpetes. ¹⁰ Nether murmur ye, as some of them murmured, and were destroyed thorow the destroyer. ¹¹ All these thinges happened vnto the for ensamples, but they are wrytte to warne vs, vpon whom the ende of ye worlde is come. ¹² Therfore let him that thinketh he stondeth, take hede, lest he fall.

¹⁹ For there must be sectes amonge you, that they which are perfecte amonge you, mighte be knowne.

²⁸ And God hath ordeyned in the congregacion, first the Apostles, secodly prophetes, thirdly teachers, then doers of miracles, after that the giftes of healinge, helpers, gouerners, dyuerse tunges. ²⁹ Are they all Apostles? Are they all prophetes? Are they all teachers? Are they all doers of miracles?

² And though I coulde prophecy, & vnderstode all secretes, and all knowlege, and had all faith, so that I coulde moue moutaynes out of their places, and yet had not loue, I were nothinge.

¹² But yf Christ be preached, that he is rysen from the deed, how saye then some amoge you, that there is no resurreccion of the deed? ¹³ Yf there be no resurreccio of the deed, then is Christ not rysen. ¹⁴ Yf Christ be not rysen, then is oure preachinge in vayne,and youre faith is also in vayne: ¹⁵ yee and we are founde false witnesses of God, because we haue testified agaynst God, that he hath raysed vp Christ, whom he hath not raysed vp, yf the deed ryse not agayne. ¹⁶ For yf the deed ryse not agayne, the is Christ also not rysen agayne. ¹⁷ But yf Christ be not rysen agayne, then is youre faith in vayne, and ye are yet in youre synnes: ¹⁸ they also that are falle a slepe in Christ, are perished. ¹⁹ Yf in this life onely we hope on Christ, then are we of all men the most miserable. ²⁰ But now is Christ rysen from the deed, and is become ye first frutes of them that slepe. ²¹ For by one man commeth death, and by one man the resurreccion of the deed. ²² For as they all dye in Adam, so shal they all be made alyue in Christ, ²³ but euery one in his order. The first is Christ, then they that beloge vnto Christ, whan he commeth. ²⁴ Then the ende, wha he shal delyuer vp the kyngdome vnto God the father, whan he shal put downe all rule, and all superiorite, & power. ²⁵ For he must raygne, tyll he haue put all his enemies vnder his fete. ²⁶ The last enemye that shal be destroyed, is death, ²⁷ for he hath put all thinges vnder his fete. But wha he sayeth, that all thinges are put vnder him, it is manifest that he is excepted, which put all thinges vnder him. ²⁸ Whan all thinges shalbe subdued vnto him, then shal the sonne himselfe also be subiecte vnto him, which put all thinges vnder him, that God maye be all in all. ²⁹ Or els what do they which are baptised ouer ye deed, yf the deed ryse not at all? Why are they then baptysed ouer the deed? ³⁰ And why stonde we in ioperdy euery houre? ³¹ By oure reioysinge which I haue in Christ Iesu or LORDE, I dye daylie. ³² That I haue foughte with beestes at Ephesus after ye maner of men, what helpeth it me, yf the deed ryse not agayne? Let vs eate and drynke, for tomorow we shal dye. ³³ Be not ye disceaued. Euell speakinges corruppe good maners. ³⁴ Awake righte vp, and synne not: for some haue not ye knowlege of God. This I saye to youre shame.

⁴¹ The Sonne hath one clearnes, the Moone hath another clearnesse, and the starres haue another clearnesse, for one starre excelleth another in clearnesse: ⁴² Euen so the resurreccion of the deed. It is sowne in corrupcion,and shal ryse in vncorrupcion: ⁴³ It is sowne in dishonoure, & shal ryse in glory:It is sowne in weaknesse, and shal ryse in power: It is sowne a naturall body, & shal ryse a spirituall body. ⁴⁴ Yf there be a naturall body, there is a spirituall body also. ⁴⁵ As it is wrytten: The first man Adam was made in to a naturall life, and the last Ada in to a spiritual life. ⁴⁶ Howbeit the spirituall body is not the first, but ye naturall, and then the spirituall. ⁴⁷ The first man is of the earth, earthy: ye seconde ma is fro heaue, heauely. ⁴⁸ As the earthy is, soch are they also that are earthy: and as ye heauenly is, soch are they also yt are heauenly. ⁴⁹ And as we haue borne the ymage of the earthy, so shal we beare the ymage of the heauenly also. ⁵⁰ This I saye brethren, that flesh & bloude can not inheret ye kyngdome of God: nether shal corrupcion inheret vncorrupcion. ⁵¹ Beholde, I saye vnto you a mystery: We shal not all slepe, but we shall all be chaunged,

⁵¹ Beholde, I saye vnto you a mystery: We shal not all slepe, but we shall all be chaunged, ⁵² and that sodenly and in the twinklynge of an eye, at the tyme of the last trompe. For the trompe shal blowe, and the deed shal ryse vncorruptible, and we shalbe chaunged. ⁵³ For this corruptible must put on vncorrupcion, and this mortall must put on immortalite. ⁵⁴ But whan this corruptible shal put on vncorrupcion, and this mortall shal put on immortalite, the shal the worde be fulfylled that is wrytte:

⁵⁸ Therfore my deare brethre, be ye stedfast, vnmoueable, & all waye riche in the worke of the LORDE, for as moch as ye knowe, that youre laboure is not in vayne in the LORDE.

¹⁰ Yf Timotheus come, se that he be without feare with you, for he worketh ye worke of the, LORDE as I do.

⁶ It is sufficient, that the same man is so rebuked of many, ⁷ so that from hence forth ye oughte the more to forgeue him and to comforte him, lest he be swalowed vp in ouer moch heuynesse. ⁸ Wherfore I exhorte you, that ye shewe loue vpo him. ⁹ For therfore dyd I wryte vnto you also, that I mighte knowe the profe of you, whether ye were obediet in all thinges. ¹⁰ But loke vnto who ye forgeue eny thinge, I forgeue hi also. For I also, yf I forgeue ought vnto eny ma, that forgeue I for youre sakes in the rowme of Christ, ¹¹ lest we shulde be preuented of Sathan. For his thoughtes are not vnknowne vnto vs.

¹⁷ For we are not as many are, which choppe & chaunge wt the worde of God, but eue out of purenesse, and out of God, in ye sighte of God, so speake we in Christ.

⁴ Soch trust haue we thorow Christ to God warde, ⁵ not that we are sufficient of oure selues to thynke eny thinge, as of oure selues, but oure ablenesse commeth of God, ⁶ which hath made vs able, to be mynisters of the new Testament: not of the letter, but of the sprete. For the letter kylleth, but the sprete geueth life.

¹⁴ But their myndes are blynded. For vnto this daye remayneth the same coueringe vntake awaye in the olde Testament, whan they rede it, which in Christ is put awaye.

² but cast from vs the clokes of vnhonestye, and walke not in craftines: nether corruppe we the worde of God but open the trueth, and reporte oure selues to euery mans conscyence in the sighte of God. ³ Yf oure Gospell be yet hyd, it is hyd in them that are lost:

³ Yf oure Gospell be yet hyd, it is hyd in them that are lost: ⁴ amonge whom the God of this worlde hath blynded ye myndes of them which beleue not, that ye lighte of the Gospell of the glory of Christ ( which is the ymage of God) shulde not shyne vnto them. ⁵ For we preach not or selues, but Iesus Christ to be the LORDE, and oure selues youre seruauntes for Iesus sake. ⁶ For God that comaunded the light to shyne out of darcknesse, hath geuen a cleare shyne in oure hertes, yt by vs ye light of ye knowlege of the glory of God mighte come forth, in the face of Iesus Christ.

⁶ For God that comaunded the light to shyne out of darcknesse, hath geuen a cleare shyne in oure hertes, yt by vs ye light of ye knowlege of the glory of God mighte come forth, in the face of Iesus Christ. ⁷ But this treasure haue we in earthen vessels, that ye power which excelleth might be of God, and not of vs.

¹⁸ Neuertheles all thinges are off God, which hath reconcyled vs vnto himselfe by Iesus Christ, and hath geuen vs the office to preach the attonement. ¹⁹ For God was in Christ, and reconcyled the worlde vnto himselfe, and counted not ther synnes vnto them, and amonge vs hath he set vp the worde of ye attonemet. ²⁰ Now the are we messaungers in the rowme of Christ, euen as though God exhorted by vs. We beseke you now therfore in Christes steade, that ye be at one with God:

¹ We as helpers therfore exhorte you, that ye receaue not ye grace of God in vayne.

⁴ but in all thinges let vs behaue oure selues as the mynisters of God: in moch pacience, in troubles, in necessities, in anguysshes,

¹⁰ as sorowynge, and yet allwaye mery: as poore, & yet make many riche: as hauynge nothinge, & yet possessynge all thinges.

¹ I do you to wit (brethren) the grace of God, which is geue in the congregacions of Macedonia. ² For their reioysinge was most abundaunt, whan they were tryed by moch trouble: & though they were exceadinge poore, yet haue they geue exceadinge richely, and that in synglenesse.

¹⁰ He that geueth sede vnto the sower, shal mynistre bred also for fode, and shal multiplye youre sede, and increase the frutes of yor righteousnes,

³ But I feare, lest as ye serpet begyled Eue wt his sutteltie, eue so yor wyttes shulde be corrupte from the synglenesse that is in Christ.

¹³ For soch false Apostles & disceatfull workers fashion them selues like vnto the Apostles of Christ. ¹⁴ And that is no maruell: for Sathan himfelfe is chaunged in to ye fashion of an angell of light. ¹⁵ Therfore is it no greate thinge, though his mymisters fashion them selues as though they were the preachers of righteousnes, whose ende shalbe acordinge to their dedes.

²⁶ I haue oft iourneyed: I haue bene oft in parels of waters, in parels amonge murthurers, in parels amonge the Iewes, in parels amonge the Heythen, in parels in cities, in parels in the wylderners, in parels vpon the See, in parels amonge false brethre,

²⁰ For I feare, lest whan I come, I shal not fynde you soch as I wolde: and lest ye shal fynde me soch as ye wolde not: lest there be amonge you, debates, envyenges, wrathes, stryuynges, bacbytinges, whysperinges, swellinges, vproures: ²¹ lest whan I come agayne, God bringe me lowe amoge you & lest I be constrayned to bewayle many of the yt haue synned before, & haue not repented ouer ye vnclennesse and whordome, and wantonnes, which they haue comytted.

¹⁹ As for the other Apostles, I sawe none of them, saue Iames the LORDES brother.

⁴ and that because of certayne incommers beynge false brethre, which came in amoge other, to spye out oure libertye, which we haue in Christ Iesus, that they mighte brynge vs in to bondage:

¹ O ye folishe Galathias, who hath bewitched you, that ye shulde not beleue the trueth? To who Iesus Christ was descrybed before the eyes and amonge you crucified. ² This onely wolde I lerne of you: Receaued ye the sprete by the dedes of the lawe, or by the preachinge of the faith? ³ Are ye so vnwyse? Ye beganne in the sprete, wolde ye ende now the in the flesh?

¹⁴ and my tentacion which I suffred after the flesh, ye despysed not, nether abhorred, but receaued me as an angell of God, yee euen as Christ Iesus. ¹⁵ How happy were ye then? For I beare you recorde, that yf it had bene possible, ye had plucked out youre awne eyes, and geue them vnto me.

⁶ For in Christ Iesu nether is circumcision eny thinge worth ner vncircumcision, but faith which by loue is mightie in operacion.

⁹ A litle leuen sowreth the whole lompe of dowe.

²² But the frute of the sprete, is loue, ioye, peace, longe sufferinge, getlenes, goodnesse, faithfulnes, ²³ mekenesse, teperaunce, Agaynst soch is not ye lawe:

¹² They that wil please in the flesh, constrayne you to be circumcysed, onely lest they shulde be persecuted with the crosse of Christ.

¹⁴ But God forbyd that I shulde reioyse, saue onely in the crosse of oure LORDE Iesus Christ, wherby the worlde is crucified vnto me, and I vnto the worlde. ¹⁵ For in Christ Iesu nether circucision avayleth eny thinge, ner vncircumcision, but a new creature.

⁹ and hath opened vnto vs the mystery of his wil acordinge to his pleasure, which he had purposed in himselfe,

¹⁷ that ye God of oure LORDE Iesus Christ, the father of glory maye geue vnto you the sprete of wyssdome, and open vnto you the knowlege of himselfe, ¹⁸ and lighten the eyes of youre vnderstondinge, that ye maye knowe what is the hope of youre callynge, and what the riches of his glorious enheritaunce is vpon the sayntes,

¹⁸ and lighten the eyes of youre vnderstondinge, that ye maye knowe what is the hope of youre callynge, and what the riches of his glorious enheritaunce is vpon the sayntes,

² in the which in tyme past ye walked, acordinge to the course off this worlde, and after the prynce that ruleth in the ayre namely, after ye sprete, which now worketh in the children of vnbeleue,

³ For by reuelacion was this mystery shewed vnto me, as I wrote aboue in fewe wordes: ⁴ wherby whan ye rede it, ye maye perceaue myne vnderstondynge in ye mystery of Christ,

⁴ wherby whan ye rede it, ye maye perceaue myne vnderstondynge in ye mystery of Christ, ⁵ which (mystery) in tymes past was not opened vnto the childre of me as it is now declared to his holy Apostles and prophetes by the sprete: namely,

⁵ which (mystery) in tymes past was not opened vnto the childre of me as it is now declared to his holy Apostles and prophetes by the sprete: namely,

⁵ which (mystery) in tymes past was not opened vnto the childre of me as it is now declared to his holy Apostles and prophetes by the sprete: namely, ⁶ that the Heythen shulde be inheritours also, and of the same body, and partakers of his promes in Christ by the Gospell,

⁶ that the Heythen shulde be inheritours also, and of the same body, and partakers of his promes in Christ by the Gospell, ⁷ wherof I am made a mynister acordynge to the gifte of the grace of God, which is geue me acordinge to the workynge of his power. ⁸ Vnto me the leest of all sayntes is this grace geuen, that I shulde preach amonge the Heythe ye vnsearcheable riches of Christ,

⁸ Vnto me the leest of all sayntes is this grace geuen, that I shulde preach amonge the Heythe ye vnsearcheable riches of Christ, ⁹ and to make all men se, what is the fellishippe of the mystery, which fro the begynnynge of the worlde hath bene hyd in God, which made all thiges thorow Iesus Christ:

⁹ and to make all men se, what is the fellishippe of the mystery, which fro the begynnynge of the worlde hath bene hyd in God, which made all thiges thorow Iesus Christ:

¹⁷ that Christ maye dwell in youre hertes by faith, that ye beynge roted and grounded in loue,

¹¹ And ye same hath set some to be Apostles, some to be prophetes, some to be Euangelistes, some to be shepherdes & teachers, ¹² wherby the sayntes mighte be coupled together thorow comen seruyce to the edifienge of ye body of Christ,

³² This is a greate secrete: but I speake of Christ and the congregacion.

¹¹ put on the armor of God, that ye maye stonde stedfast agaynst the craftie assautes off the deuell. ¹² For we wrestle not agaynst flesh and bloude, but agaynst rule, agaynst power namely, agaynst the rulers of the worlde, of the darknesse of this worlde, agaynst ye spretes of wickednes vnder the heauen.

¹⁹ and for me, that the worde maye be geuen me, that I maye open my mouth boldly, to vtter the secretes of the Gospell,

⁶ and am surely certified of this, yt he which hath begonne that good worke in you, shal go forth with it vntyll ye daye of Iesus Christ:

⁹ And for the same I praye, yt yor loue maye increace more & more in all maner of knowlege and in all experience,

¹¹ fylled with the frutes of righteousnes, which come by Iesus Christ vnto the glorye and prayse of God.

¹³ For it is God which worketh in you both the wyll and the deed, euen of his owne good wyll. ¹⁴ Do all thinges without murmurynges and disputinges, ¹⁵ that ye maye be fautles and pure, and the childre of God without rebuke, in the myddes of ye croked and peruerse nacion, amonge whom se that ye shyne as lightes in the worlde,

⁷ But the thinges that were vauntage vnto me, haue I counted losse for Christes sake. ⁸ Yee I thynke all thinges but losse, for that excellent knowleges sake of Christ Iesu my LORDE: for whom I haue counted all thinge losse, and do iudge them but donge, that I mighte wynne Christ, ⁹ & be founde in him, not hauynge myne awne righteousnes which commeth of the lawe, but by the faith of Christ (namely) the righteousnes which commeth of God in faith,

¹⁸ For many walke (off whom I haue tolde you often, but now I tell you wepynge) eue enemies of the crosse of Christ, ¹⁹ whose ende is damnacion, whose God is the bely, & whose glory shalbe to their shame, which are earthly mynded.

¹⁷ Not that I seke giftes, but I seke the frute, that it be abudaunt in yor rekenynge.

⁵ for ye hopes sake which is layed vp in stoare for you in heauen: of the which ye haue herde before by the worde of trueth in the Gospell, ⁶ which is come vnto you, eue as it is into all the worlde: and is frutefull, as it is in you, sence ye daye yt ye herde and knewe the grace of God in ye trueth, ⁷ as ye learned of Epaphras oure deare felowe seruaunt, which is a faithfull mynister of Christ for you,

¹⁰ that ye mighte walke worthy off the LORDE, to please him in all thinges, and to be frutefull in all good workes, and growe in the knowlege of God:

²³ yf ye contynue grounded and stablished in the faith, and be not moued awaye from ye hope of the Gospell, wherof ye haue herde: which is preached amonge all creatures yt are vnder heauen, wherof I Paul am made a mynister.

²⁵ wherof I am made a mynister, acordinge to ye Godly office of preachinge, which is geuen vnto me amonge you, that I shulde richely preach the worde of God, ²⁶ namely, that mystery which hath bene hyd sence the worlde beganne, and sence the begynnynge of tymes: but now is opened vnto his sayntes,

²⁶ namely, that mystery which hath bene hyd sence the worlde beganne, and sence the begynnynge of tymes: but now is opened vnto his sayntes, ²⁷ to whom God wolde make knowne the glorious riches of this mistery amoge ye Heythen: which (riches) is Christ in you, eue he that is the hope of glory,

² that their hertes mighte be comforted and knytt together in loue, to all riches of full vnderstodinge, which is in the knowlege of the mystery of God the father and of Christ, ³ in whom are hyd all the treasures of wyssdome and knowlege.

⁷ and be roted & buylded in him, and be stedfast in faith, as ye haue learned: & be plenteous in the same in geuynge thankes.

³ For ye are deed, and youre life is hyd with Christ in God. ⁴ But whan Christ or life shal shewe himselfe, the shal ye also appeare with him in glory.

¹⁶ Let ye worde of Christ dwell in you plenteously in all wyssdome. Teach and exhorte youre awne selues with psalmes and ymnes, and spirituall songes which haue fauoure with them, synginge in youre hertes to the LORDE.

¹ Fvrthermore we beseke you brethren and exhorte you in the LORDE Iesus, that ye increace more and more, euen as ye haue receaued of vs how ye oughte to walke and to please God.

¹⁴ We desyre you brethre, warne them that are vnruly, coforte the feble mynded, forbeare the weake, be pacient towarde all men.

²³ The very God of peace sanctifye you thorow out. And I praye God, that youre whole sprete, soule & body be kepte blameles vnto ye comynge of oure LORDE Iesus Christ. ²⁴ Faithfull is he which hath called you, which wil also do it.

⁷ but vnto you which are troubled, rest with vs, wha the LORDE Iesus shal shewe himselfe from heauen, with the angels of his power, ⁸ and with flammynge fyre, to geue vengeauce vnto them that knowe not God, and to them that obeye not the Gospell of oure LORDE Iesus Christ. ⁹ Which shalbe punyshed with euerlastinge damnacion, from ye presence of the LORDE, and from the glory of his power, ¹⁰ whan he shal come to be glorified in his sayntes, and to become maruelous in all them that beleue: because ye haue beleued oure testimony vnto you of the same daye.

⁸ And then shal that wicked be vttered, whom the LORDE shal cosume with ye sprete of his mouth, & shal destroye with the appearaunce of his commynge: ⁹ euen him, whose commynge is after the workynge of Sathan with all lyenge power, and signes and wonders, ¹⁰ and with all deceauablenes of vnrighteousnes amonge them that perishe, because they receaued not the loue of ye trueth, that they might haue bene saued.

¹⁰ and with all deceauablenes of vnrighteousnes amonge them that perishe, because they receaued not the loue of ye trueth, that they might haue bene saued. ¹¹ Therfore shal God sende them stroge delusion, that they shulde beleue lyes, ¹² yt all they might be daned, which beleued not the trueth, but had pleasure in vnrighteousnes. ¹³ But we are bounde to geue thankes allwaye vnto God for you, brethren be loued of the LORDE, because that God hath from the begynnynge chosen you to saluacion in the sanctifienge of the sprete and in beleuynge of the trueth, ¹⁴ whervnto he hath called you by oure Gospell, to optayne the glory of oure LORDE Iesus Christ.

⁶ He maye not be a yoge scolar, lest he be puft vp, and fall in to the iudgment of ye euell speaker.

⁹ but hauynge the mystery of faith in pure conscience.

¹⁵ but yf I tary loge, that then thou mayest yet haue knowlege, how thou oughtest to behaue thy selfe in Gods house, which is the congregacion of the lyuynge God, the piler and grounde of trueth: ¹⁶ and without naye, greate is that mystery of godlynes. God was shewed in the flesh: was iustified in the sprete: was sene of angels: was preached vnto the Heythen: was beleued on in the worlde: was receaued vp in glory.

¹⁶ and without naye, greate is that mystery of godlynes. God was shewed in the flesh: was iustified in the sprete: was sene of angels: was preached vnto the Heythen: was beleued on in the worlde: was receaued vp in glory.

²⁴ Some mes synnes are ope, so that they maye be iudged afore hande: but some mens (synnes) shal be manifest herafter.

⁹ For they that wylbe riche, fall in to the teptacion and snare, and in to many folisshe & noysome lustes, which drowne men in destruccion and damnacion. ¹⁰ For Couetousnes is the rote of all euell, which whyle some lusted after, they erred from the faith, and tangled them selues with many sorowes.

¹⁷ Charge the which are riche in this worlde, that they be not proude, ner trust in the vncertayne riches, but in the lyuynge God (which geueth vs abundauntly all thinges to enioye them:)

⁹ which hath saued vs, and called vs with an holy callynge: not acordinge to oure dedes, but acordinge to his owne purpose and grace, which was geuen vs in Christ Iesu before the tyme of the worlde, ¹⁰ but is now declared openly by the appearynge of oure Sauioure Iesu Christ. Which hath taken awaye ye power of death, and hath brought life and immortalite vnto lighte, thorow the Gospell:

¹⁵ This thou knowest, that all they which are in Asia, be turned fro me, of which sorte are Phigelus and Hermogenes.

²⁵ the euell, one yt can with mekenesse enfourme them yt resist: yf God at eny tyme wyl geue them repentaunce for to knowe the trueth, ²⁶ and to turne agayne from the snare of the deuell, which are holden in preson of him at his will.

² For there shalbe me which shal holde of the selues, couetous, boasters, proude, cursed speakers, dishobedient to their elders, vnthankfull, vngoostly, ³ vnkynde, truce breakers, false accusers, ryatours, fearce, despysers of them which are good, ⁴ traytours, heady, hye mynded, gredy vpon voluptuousnes more then the louers of God, ⁵ hauynge a shyne off godly lyuynge, but denyenge the power therof. And soch avoyde.

¹⁶ For all scripture geue by inspiracion of God, is profitable to teach, to improue, to amende, and to instructe in righteousnes, ¹⁷ that a man off God maye be perfecte, and prepared vnto all good workes.

³ For the tyme wil come, whan they shal not suffre wholsome doctryne, but after their awne lustes shal they (whose eares ytche) get them an heape of teachers,

³ For the tyme wil come, whan they shal not suffre wholsome doctryne, but after their awne lustes shal they (whose eares ytche) get them an heape of teachers, ⁴ and shal turne their eares from the trueth, and shalbe geuen vnto fables.

⁴ and shal turne their eares from the trueth, and shalbe geuen vnto fables.

⁴ and shal turne their eares from the trueth, and shalbe geuen vnto fables. ⁵ But watch thou in all thinges, suffre aduersite, do the worke of a preacher of the Gospell, fulfyll thine office vnto the vttemost.

¹⁰ For Demas hath lefte me, and loueth this present worlde, and is departed vnto Tessalonica, Crescens in to Galacia, Titus vnto Dalmacia,

² vpon the hope of eternall life: which God that can not lye hath promysed before the tymes of the worlde: ³ but at his tyme hath opened his worde thorow preachinge, which is commytted vnto me acordinge to the commaundemet of God oure Sauioure.

⁹ and soch one as cleueth vnto the true worde of doctryne: that he maye be able to exhorte with wholsome lernynge, & to improue them that saye agaynst it.

⁹ and soch one as cleueth vnto the true worde of doctryne: that he maye be able to exhorte with wholsome lernynge, & to improue them that saye agaynst it. ¹⁰ For there are many dishobedient, and talkers of vanite, and disceauers of myndes: namely they of the circucision, ¹¹ whose mouthes must be stopped: which peruerte whole houses, teachinge thinges which they oughte not, because of filthye lucre.

⁶ Exhorte the yonge men likewyse, that they be sober mynded. ⁷ Aboue all thinge shewe thy selfe an ensample off good workes, with vncorrupte doctryne, with honestye, with the wholsome

¹ God in tyme past dyuersly & many wayes, spake vnto ye fathers by prophetes,

⁶ And agayne, wha he bryngeth in the fyrst begotte sonne in to the worlde, he sayeth: And all the angels of God shal worshippe him. ⁷ And of the angels he sayeth: He maketh his angels spretes, & his mynisters flames of fyre.

¹⁴ Are they not all mynistrynge spretes, sent to mynister for their sakes, which shalbe heyres of saluacion?

¹ Wherfore we ought to geue the more hede vnto the thinges which we haue herde, lest we perisshe.

³ how shal we escape, yf we despyse so greate a saluacion: which after that it beganne to be preached by the LORDE himselfe, was confirmed vpon vs, by them that herde it,

¹² Take hede brethren, that there be not in eny of you an euell hert of vnbeleue, to departe from the lyuynge God: ¹³ but exhorte youre selues daylie, whyle it is called to daye, lest eny of you waxe harde harted thorow ye disceatfulnes of synne. ¹⁴ For we are become partakers of Christ, yf we kepe sure vnto ye ende the begynnynge of the substace, ¹⁵ solonge as it is sayde: Todaye, yf ye shal heare his voyce, harde not youre hertes, as in the prouocacio. ¹⁶ For some whan they herde, prouoked. Howbeit not all they yt came out of Egipte by Moses. ¹⁷ But with whom was he displeased fortye yeares longe? Was he not displeased with them yt synned, whose carcases were ouerthrowne in ye wyldernesse? ¹⁸ To whom sware he, yt they shulde not enter in to his rest, but vnto the yt beleued not? ¹⁹ And we se yt they coulde not enter in because of vnbeleue.

² for it is declared vnto vs as well as vnto the. But the worde of preachinge helped not the, wha they that herde it, beleued it not.

⁶ Seynge it foloweth the, that some must enter there in to: and they, to whom it was first preached, entred not therin for vnbeleues sake, ⁷ therfore appoynteth he a daye agayne after so longe tyme, and sayeth: Todaye (as it is rehearsed by Dauid) Todaye yf ye shal heare his voyce, then harden not youre hertes. ⁸ For yf Iosua had geuen them rest, the wolde he not afterwarde haue spoken, of another daye. ⁹ Therfore remayneth there yet a rest vnto the people of God. ¹⁰ For he that is entred in to his rest, ceasseth from his workes, as God doth from his ¹¹ Let vs make haist therfore to enter in to that rest, lest eny man fall after the same ensample of vnbeleue.

¹¹ Wherof we haue many thinges to saye, which are harde to be vttered, because ye are dull of hearynge.

⁴ For it is not possible, that they which were once lighted, and haue taisted of the heauely gyfte, and are become partakers of the holy goost, ⁵ & haue taisted of ye good worde of God, and of the power of the worlde to come, ⁶ yf they fall awaye (and concernynge them selues crucifye the sonne of God afresshe, and make a mocke off him) that they shulde be renued agayne vnto repentaunce. ⁷ For the earth, that drynketh in the rayne, which commeth oft vpon it, and bringeth forth herbes mete for them that dresse it, receaueth blessynge of God:

¹⁰ For this is the Testament, that I wil make wt the house of Israell after those dayes, sayeth the LORDE. I wyl geue my lawes in their mynde, and in their hertes wyl I wryte them: And I wil be their God, and they shal be my people:

²⁶ for the must he often haue suffred sence the worlde beganne. But now in the ende of the worlde hath he appeared once, to put synne to flight, by the offerynge vp of himselfe.

³⁴ For ye haue suffred with my bodes, and toke a worth ye spoylinge of youre goodes, and that with gladnes, knowynge in youre selues, how that ye haue in heauen a better & an enduringe substaunce. ³⁵ Cast not awaye therfore yor confidence, which hath so greate a rewarde. ³⁶ For ye haue nede of pacience, that after ye haue done the wil of God, ye mighte receaue the promes. ³⁷ For yet ouer a litle whyle, and then he that shal come, wyl come, and wyl not tary. ³⁸ But the iust shal lyue by his faith: And yf he withdrawe himselfe awaye, my soule shal haue no pleasure in him. ³⁹ As for vs, we are not of those which withdrawe them selues to damnacion: but of them that beleue to the wynnynge of the soule.

¹³ All these dyed acordinge to faith, and receaued not the promyses, but sawe the afarre off, and beleued them, and saluted them: and cofessed, that they were straungers & pilgrems vpo earth.

²⁴ By faith Moses whan he was greate, refused to be called the sonne of Pharaos doughter: ²⁵ and chose rather to suffre aduersite with the people of God, then to enioye ye pleasures of synne for a season: ²⁶ and estemed the rebuke of Christ greater riches, then the treasure of Egipte: for he had respecte vnto the rewarde.

³⁹ And these all thorow faith optayned good reporte, and receaued not ye promes: ⁴⁰ because God had prouyded a better thinge for vs, that they without vs shulde not be made perfecte.

¹⁵ ad loke well, that no ma be destitute of the grace of God, lest there sprynge vp eny bytter rote, and cause disquyetnes, and therby many be defyled:

¹⁵ Let vs therfore by him offre allwayes vnto God the sacrifice of prayse: that is to saye, the frute of those lippes which confesse his name. ¹⁶ To do good and to destribute forget not, for wt soch sacrifices God is pleased.

⁵ Yf eny of you lacke wyssdome, let him axe of God, which geueth to all men indifferentlie, and casteth no man in the teth: and it shal be geue him.

¹¹ The Sonne ryseth wt heat and the grasse wydereth, & his floure falleth awaye, and the beautie of the fassion of it perissheth: euen so shal the ryche man perisshe with his abundaunce. ¹² Happy is the man that endureth in teptacion, for when he is tryed, he shal receaue the crowne of life, which the LORDE hath promised to them that loue him.

¹⁶ Erre not my deare brethre. ¹⁷ Euery good gifte, & euery parfait gift, is from aboue, and cometh downe from ye father of light, with whom is no variablenes, nether is he chaunged vnto darcknes. ¹⁸ Of his awne will begat he vs with the worde of life, that we shulde be the fyrst frutes of his creatures.

¹⁸ Of his awne will begat he vs with the worde of life, that we shulde be the fyrst frutes of his creatures.

²¹ Wherfore laye aparte all fylthines, all superfluite of maliciousnes, & receaue with meknes ye worde yt is grafted in you, which is able to saue youre soules. ²² And se that ye be doers of ye worde & not heares only, deceauinge youre awne selues.

⁵ Harken my deare beloued brethre. Hath not God chosen the poore of this worlde, which are ryche in faith, and heyres of the kyngdom which he promysed to the that loue him?

¹⁵ This wissdome descendeth not from aboue: but is erthy, and naturall, and dyuelishe. ¹⁶ For where enuyenge and stryfe is, there is vnstablenes and all maner of euell workes.

⁴ Ye aduouterars, & weme that breke matrimonie: knowe ye not how that the frenshippe of ye worlde is ennimite to godwarde? Whosoeuer wilbe a frende of the worlde, is made ye enemie of god.

⁵ that are kepte by the power of God thorow faith to saluacion, which is prepared all ready to be shewed in the last tyme:

¹⁰ Of which saluacion the prophetes haue enquyred and searched, which prophecied off the grace that shulde come vpon you: ¹¹ searchinge whan or at what tyme the sprete off Christ that was in them, shulde signifye, which (sprete) testified before the passions that shulde come vnto Christ, and the glory that shulde folowe after. ¹² Vnto the which (prophetes) it was declared, that not vnto them selues, but vnto vs they shulde mynister the thinges which are now shewed vnto you, by them which thorow ye holy goost sent downe from heauen, haue preached vnto you the thinges which the angels delyte to beholde.

²⁰ which was ordeyned before the worlde was made, but is declared in these last tymes for youre sakes, ²¹ which thorow him beleue on God, that raysed him vp from the deed, and hath geue him the glory, that ye might haue faith & hope in God:

²³ as they that are borne a new, not of corruptible sede, but of vncorruptible, eue by the lyuynge worde of God, which endureth for euer.

¹ Wherfore laye asyde all maliciousnes and all gyle, and ypocrisye, and envye, and all bacbytinge, ² & as new borne babes desyre that reasonable mylke, which is without corrupcion, that ye maye growe therin,

⁸ Be sober and watch, for yor aduersary ye deuell, walketh aboute as a roaringe lyon, sekynge whom he maye deuoure,

⁵ Geue ye all youre diligence therfore here vnto, and in youre faith mynister vertue: in vertue, knowlege: ⁶ in knowlege, temperancy: in temperancy, pacience: in pacience, godlynes: ⁷ in godlynes, brotherly loue: in brotherly loue, generall loue. ⁸ For yf these thinges be plenteous in you, they will not let you be ydle nor vnfrutefull in ye knowlege of oure LORDE Iesus Christ.

⁸ For yf these thinges be plenteous in you, they will not let you be ydle nor vnfrutefull in ye knowlege of oure LORDE Iesus Christ. ⁹ But he that lacketh these thinges, is blynde, & gropeth for the waye with the hade, and hath forgotten, that he was clensed from his olde synnes.

¹ Bvt there were false prophetes also amonge the people, euen as there shalbe false teachers amonge you likewyse, which preuely shal brynge in damnable sectes, euen denyenge the LORDE that hath boughte them, and shal brynge vpon them selues swift damnacion:

¹ Bvt there were false prophetes also amonge the people, euen as there shalbe false teachers amonge you likewyse, which preuely shal brynge in damnable sectes, euen denyenge the LORDE that hath boughte them, and shal brynge vpon them selues swift damnacion:

² and many shal folowe their damnable wayes, by who the waye of the trueth shal be euell spoke of: ³ and thorow cuvetousnes shal they with fayned wordes make marchaundise of you, vpo who the iudgment is not necliget in tarienge of olde, and their damnacion slepeth not.

¹³ and so receaue ye rewarde of vnrighteousnes.They counte it pleasure to lyue deliciously for a season: Spottes are they and fylthynes: lyuynge at pleasure and in disceaueable wayes: feastynge wt that which is youres, ¹⁴ hauynge eyes full of aduoutrye, and ca not ceasse from synne, entysinge vnstable soules: hauynge an hert exercysed wt couetousnes: they are cursed children,

¹⁴ hauynge eyes full of aduoutrye, and ca not ceasse from synne, entysinge vnstable soules: hauynge an hert exercysed wt couetousnes: they are cursed children, ¹⁵ and haue forsaken the righte waye, and are gone astraye: folowinge the waye of Balaam the sonne of Bosor, which loued the rewarde of vnrighteousnes:

¹⁵ and haue forsaken the righte waye, and are gone astraye: folowinge the waye of Balaam the sonne of Bosor, which loued the rewarde of vnrighteousnes: ¹⁶ but was rebuked of his iniquyte. The tame and domme beast spake with mas voyce, & forbad the foolishnes of ye prophet. ¹⁷ These are welles without water, & cloudes caried aboute of a tepest: to who ye myst of darknesse is reserued foreuer. ¹⁸ For they speake ye proude wordes of vanite, vnto ye vttemost, and entyse thorow wantannes vnto ye luste of the flesh, euen them that were cleane escaped, and now walke in erroure: ¹⁹ and promyse them libertye, where as they them selues are seruauntes off corrupcion. For off whom so euer a man is ouercome, vnto the same is he in bondage. ²⁰ For yf they (after they haue escaped from the fylthynes of the worlde, thorow the knowlege of ye LORDE and Sauioure Iesus Christ) are yet tangled agayne therin and ouercome, then is the latter ende worse vnto them then the begynnynge. ²¹ For it had bene better for them, not to haue knowne the waye of righteousnes, then after they haue knowne it, to turne from the holy commaundemet, that was geuen vnto them. ²² It is happened vnto them acordynge vnto the true prouerbe: ye dogg is turned to his vomyte agayne: and ye sowe that was wasshed, vnto hir walowynge in the myre.

¹⁸ But growe in grace, and in the knowlege of oure LORDE and Sauioure Iesus Christ. To him be prayse now and for euer, Amen.

⁷ Brethren, I wryte no new commaundement vnto you, but that olde commaundement, which ye haue herde from the begynnynge. ⁸ The olde comaundement is the worde, which ye haue herde from the begynnynge. Agayne, a new comaundemet wryte I vnto you, a thinge that is true in him & also in you: for the darknesse is past, and the true lighte now shyneth.

¹³ I wryte vnto you fathers, how that ye haue knowne him which is from ye begynnynge. I wryte vnto you yonge me, how that ye haue euercome the wicked. I wryte vnto you litle children, how that ye haue knowne the father. ¹⁴ I haue wrytten vnto you fathers, how that ye haue knowne him, which is fro the begynnynge. I haue wrytten vnto you yonge men, how that ye are stronge, and the worde of God abydeth in you, and ye haue ouercome that wicked. ¹⁵ Se that ye loue not the worlde, nether ye thinges that are in the worlde. Yf eny man loue the worlde, the loue of the father is not in him: ¹⁶ for all that is in the worlde (namely the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pryde of life) is not of the father, but of the worlde.

¹⁸ Litle children, it is the last houre, and (as ye haue herde that Antechrist shal come) euen now are there many become Antechristes allready: wherby we knowe, that it is ye last houre. ¹⁹ They wente out fro vs, but they were not of vs: for yf they had bene of vs, they wolde no doute haue contynued with vs. But that they maye be knowne, how that they are not all of vs.

¹⁹ They wente out fro vs, but they were not of vs: for yf they had bene of vs, they wolde no doute haue contynued with vs. But that they maye be knowne, how that they are not all of vs. ²⁰ But ye haue the anoyntinge of him yt is holy, & ye knowe all thiges.

²⁰ But ye haue the anoyntinge of him yt is holy, & ye knowe all thiges.

²⁷ And the anoyntinge which ye haue receaued of him, dwelleth in you: & ye nede not yt eny ma teach you, but as the anoyntinge teacheth you all thiges, euen so is it true, & is no lye. And as it hath taughte you, eue so abide ye therin.

² Dearly beloued, we are now ye childre of God, and yet hath it not appeared what we shalbe. But we knowe yt when he shal appeare, we shal be like him: for we shal se him as he is.

⁸ He that commytteth synne, is of the deuell: for the deuell synneth sence ye begynnynge. For this purpose appeared the sonne of God, to lowse the workes of the deuell. ⁹ Who so euer is borne of God, synneth not: for his sede remayneth in him, & he ca not synne, because he is borne of God. ¹⁰ By this are the children of God knowne & the children of the deuell. Who so euer doeth not righteousnes, is not of God, nether he thath loueth not his brother.

¹² not as Cain, which was of the wicked, and slewe his brother. And wherfore slewe he him? euen because his awne workes were euell, and his brothers righteous.

¹ Dearly beleued, beleue not ye euery sprete, but proue the spretes, whether they be of God. For many false prophetes are gone out in to the worlde. ² Hereby shal ye knowe the sprete of God: Euery sprete which confesseth, that Iesus Christ is come in the flesh, is of God: ³ And euery sprete which confesseth not that Iesus Christ is come in the flesh, is not off God. And this is that sprete of Antechrist, off whom ye haue herde, how that he shal come, and euen now allready is he in the worlde. ⁴ Litle children, ye are off God, and haue ouercome them: for greater is he that is in you, then he that is in the worlde. ⁵ They are off the worlde, therfore speake they off the worlde, and the worlde herkeneth vnto them. ⁶ We are of God, and he that knoweth God, herkeneth vnto vs: he that is not of God, heareth vs not. Here by knowe we the sprete of trueth, and ye sprete of erroure.

¹¹ And this is that recorde, euen yt God hath geue vs euerlastinge life. And this life is in his sonne. ¹² He that hath the sonne of God, hath life: He that hath not the sonne of God, hath not life.

¹⁸ We knowe, that whosoeuer is borne off God, synneth not: but he that is begotte of God, kepeth himselfe, & yt wicked toucheth him not.

²⁰ But we knowe, that the sonne of God is come, and hath geuen vs a mynde, to knowe him which is true: and we are in him yt is true, in his sonne Iesu Christ. This is the true God, and euerlastinge life.

⁴ For there are certayne craftely crept in, of which it was wrytten afore tyme vnto soche iudgement. They are vngodly, and turne the grace of oure God vnto wantanes, and denye God the onely LORDE, and oure LORDE Iesus Christ. ⁵ My minde is therfore to put you in remebrauce, for as moche as ye once knowe this, how that ye LORDE (after that he had deliuered the people out of Egipt) destroyed them which afterwarde beleued not.

¹¹ Wo be vnto the, for they haue folowed the waye of Cain, and are vtterly geue to the erroure of Balaam for lukers sake, and perysshe in the treason of Core. ¹² These are spottes which of youre kindnes feast togedder, without feare, fedynge the selues.
