²⁴ And these were the chefe amoge the Leuites, Hasabia, Serebia and Iesua the sonne of Cadmiel, & their brethren ouer agaynst them, to geue prayse and thankes, acordinge as Dauid ye ma of God had ordeyned it, one watch ouer agaynst another. ²⁵ Mathania, Bacbuchia, Obadia, Mesullam, Talmon and Acub were porters in the watch at the thresholdes of the gates. ²⁶ These were in the tyme of Ioiachim the sonne of Iesua the sonne of Iosedec, and in the tyme of Nehemias the Debyte, and of the prest E?dras the scrybe.

³³ & Asaria, E?dras, Mesullam,

³⁷ towarde the Wellgate, and they wente vp ouer agaynst them vpon the steppes of the cite of Dauid at the goynge vp of the wall to the house of Dauid, vnto the Watergate Eastwarde.

³⁹ and to ye porte of Ephraim, and to the Oldgate, and to ye Fyshgate, and to the tower of Hananeel, and to the tower of Meah, vntyll the Shepegate. And in ye presongate stode they styll,

⁴¹ and the prestes, namely Eliachim, Maeseia, Miniamin, Michaia, Elioenai, Zachary, Hanania, with tropettes, ⁴² and Maeseia, Semaia, Eleasar, Vsi, Iohanan, Malchia, Elam and Aser. And the syngers songe loude, and Iesrahia was the ouerseer.

¹⁹ Therfore the Iewes that dwelt in the vyllages and vnwalled townes, ordeyned ye fourtenth daye of the moneth Adar, to be a daye of feastinge and gladnes, and one sent giftes vnto another.

²² as the daies wherin ye Iewes came to rest from their enemies, & as a moneth wherin their payne was turned to ioye, and their sorowe in to prosperite: that they shulde obserue the same as dayes of wealth and gladnes, and one to sende giftes vnto another, & to distribute vnto the poore.

¹² I haue not forsaken the comaundemet of his lippes, but loke what he charged me with his mouth, that haue I shutt vp in my herte.

¹⁶ When the poore desyred enythinge at me, haue I denyed it them? Haue I caused ye wyddowe stonde waytinge for me in vayne? ¹⁷ Haue I eaten my porcion alone, that the fatherles hath had no parte with me? ¹⁸ (for mercy grewe vp with me fro my youth, & compassion fro my mothers wombe.)

⁸ The statutes of the LORDE are right, & reioyse the herte: ye comaundemet of ye LORDE is pure, and geueth light vnto the eyes. ⁹ The feare of the LORDE is cleane, & endureth for euer: the iudgmentes of the LORDE are true and rigtuous alltogether. ¹⁰ More pleasunt are they then golde, yee then moch fyne golde: sweter then hony & the hony combe. ¹¹ These thy seruaunt kepeth, & for kepinge of them there is greate rewarde.

² Heare the voyce of my humble peticion, when I crie vnto the, and holde vp my hondes towarde thy holy temple.

⁷ Praysed be ye LORDE, for he hath herde the voyce of my humble peticio. ⁸ The LORDE is my stregth and my shylde: my herte hoped in him, & I am helped: therfore my hert dauseth for ioye, and I will synge prayses vnto him.

¹³ O blessed be ye LORDE God of Israel, from hece forth and for euermore. Amen, Amen.

⁴ For thy louynge kyndnesse is better then life, my lyppes shal prayse the.

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.

¹⁴ I haue as greate delite in the waye of thy testimonies, as in all maner of riches.

¹⁶ My delite shalbe in thy statutes, I will not forget thy wordes.

⁷² The lawe of thy mouth is dearer vnto me, the thousandes of golde & syluer.

⁹⁷ O what a loue haue I vnto thy lawe? all the daye longe is my talkynge of it.

¹⁰³ O how swete are thy wordes vnto my throte? Yee more the hony vnto my mouth. ¹⁰⁴ Thorow thy commaundementes I get vnderstondinge, therfore I hate all false wayes.

¹¹¹ Thy testimonies haue I claymed as myne heretage for euer: & why? they are the very ioye of my herte.

¹²⁷ For I loue thy comaundemetes aboue golde and precious stone.

¹³⁰ When thy worde goeth forth, it geueth light and vnderstodinge, eue vnto babes.

¹⁷¹ My lippes shall speake of thy prayse, seynge thou hast taught me thy statutes.

¹⁷⁴ I longe for thy sauynge health (o LORDE) & in thy lawe is my delyte.

¹ When the LORDE turneth agayne ye captiuyte of Sion, then shal we be like vnto them that dreame. ² The shal oure mouth be fylled with laughter, and oure tonge with ioye. ³ Then shal it be sayed amonge the Heithen: the LORDE hath done greate thinges for them.

² O lift vp youre handes in the Sanctuary, and prayse the LORDE.

² Let my prayer be set forth in thy sight as the incese, and let the liftinge vp of my hades be an euenynge sacrifice.

² Let Israel reioyse in him that made him, and let the children of Sion be ioyfull in their kynge.

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. 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: 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.

¹⁰ Yf wy?dome entre in to thine herte, and yi soule delyte in knowlege: ¹¹ then shal councell preserue the, and vnderstondinge shal kepe the.

³³ O geue eare vnto nurtoure, be wyse, and refuse it not. ³⁴ Blessed is ye man that heareth me, watchinge daylie at my gates, & geuynge attendaunce at the postes of my dores.

¹ Who so loueth wy?dome, wil be content to be refourmed: but he that hateth to be reproued, is a foole.

²² A mery herte maketh a lusty age, but a sorowfull mide dryeth vp ye bones.

¹³ My sonne, thou eatest hony & ye swete hony cobe, because it is good & swete in thy mouth. ¹⁴ Euen so shall ye knowlege of wysdome be vnto yi soule, as soone as thou hast gotte it. And there is good hope, yee yi hope shal not be in vayne.

²⁴ Is it not better then for a ma to eate and drynke, and his soule to be mery in his laboure? Yee I sawe that this also was a gifte of God:

⁴ A tyme to wepe, and a tyme to laugh: A tyme to mourne, and a tyme to daunse:

¹³ For all yt a man eateth & drynketh, yee what so euer a ma enioyeth of all his labor, ye same is a gift of God.

¹⁸ Therfore me thinke it a better and a fayrer thinge, a man to eate and drynke, and to be refreshed of all his laboure, yt he taketh vnder the Sonne all the dayes of his life which God geueth him, for this is his porcion.

⁷ Go thou yi waye then, eate thy bred with ioye, & drynke yi wyne wt gladnesse, for thy workes please God.

² Geue it awaye amonge seuen or eight, for thou knowest not what misery shal come vpo earth.

¹ Come in to my garden o my sister, my spouse: I haue gathered my Myrre wt my spyce. I wil eate my hony and my hony cobe, I wil drynke my wyne & my mylk Eate o (ye frendes) drynke and be mery, o ye beloued.

⁷ and touched my mouth, and sayde: lo, this hath touched thy mouth, & thy vnrightouousnes is taken a waye, and thy synne forgeuen. ⁸ After this I herde the voyce of the LORDE takinge advysement on this maner: Whom shall I sende, and who wilbe oure messaunger? The I sayde: here am I, sende me.

²⁰ Yf eny man want light, let him loke vpon the lawe and the testimony, whether they speake not after this meanynge.

¹ So that then thou shalt saye: O LORDE, I thanke the, for thou wast displeased at me, but thou hast refrayned thy wrath, and hast mercy vpon me. ² Beholde, God is my health, in whom I trust, and am not afrayde. For the LORDE God is my strength, and my prayse, he also shalbe my refuge. ³ Therfore with ioye shal ye drawe water out of the welles of the Sauioure,

⁹ What is he amonge them, yt can teach, instructe or enfourme the childre, which are weened from suck or taken from the brestes: of eny other fashion, then:

¹ Bvt the deserte & wildernesse shal reioyse, ye waist grounde shal be glad, and florish as the lilly. ² She shal florish pleasauntly, and be ioyful, and euer be geuynge of thankes more and more. For ye glory of libanus, the bewty of Charmel & Saro shalbe geuen her. These shal knowe the honoure of the LORDE, and the magesty of oure God. ³ And therfore strength ye weake hodes, and conforte the feble knees. ⁴ Saye vnto them that are of a fearful hert: Be of good chere, and feare not. Beholde: youre God cometh, to take vengeaunce & to rewarde, God cometh his owne self, and wil delyuer you.

³ that I might geue vnto them yt mourne in Sion, bewty in the steade of asshes, ioyful oyntmet for sighinge, pleasaunt raymet for an heuy mide: That they might be called excellent in rightuousnesse, a platinge of the LORDE for him to reioyce in.

¹⁰ And therfore I am ioyful in the LORDE, & my soule reioyseth in my God. For he shall put vpon me the garmet of health, & couer me with the matle of rightuousnes. He shal decke me like a brydegrome, & as a bryde that hath hir apparell vpo her.

⁸ How darre ye saye then: we are wise, we haue the lawe of the LORDE amonge vs? Beholde, the disceatfull penne of the scrybes, setteth forth lies: ⁹ therfore shal the wise be confounded, they shalbe afrayed and taken: for lo, they haue cast out the worde of the LORDE: what wy?dome can then be amonge them?

¹⁶ When I had founde thy wordes, I at them vp gredely: they haue made my hert ioyfull & glad. For I call vpon thy name, o LORDE God off hoostes.

¹³ (For the houses of Ierusale & the houses of the kinges of Iuda are defyled, like as Tophet,) because off all the houses, in whose parlers they dyd sacrifice vnto all the hooste of heaue, and poured out drynke offringes vnto straunge goddes.

⁶ And the prophet Ieremy sayde: Amen, the LORDE do that, & graunte the thinge, which thou hast prophecied: that he maye bringe agayne all the ornamentes of the LORDES house, & restore all the presoners from Babilon in to ths place.

²⁹ For the Caldees shall come, and wynne this cite, and set fyre vpon it, and burne it: with the gorgeous houses, in whose parlers they haue made sacrifice vnto Baal, and poured drynkeofferinges vnto straunge goddes, to prouoke me vnto wrath.

⁴¹ Let vs lift vp oure hertes with oure hondes vnto the LORDE, that is in heauen.

⁶ my people perish, because they haue no knowlege. Seinge then that thou hast refused vnderstondinge, therfore wil I refuse ye also: so that thou shalt nomore be my prest. And for so moch as thou hast forgotten the lawe of thy God, I wil also forget thy childre.

²³ Be glad then (o ye children of Sion) and reioyse in the LORDE youre God, for he hath geuen you the teacher of rightuousnes: & he it is yt shal sende you downe shuwers of rayne, early and late in the first moneth:

² But the LORDE answered me, and sayde: Wryte the vision planely vpon thy tables, that who so commeth by, maye rede it:

¹⁶ Euery one that remayueth then of all ye people, which came agaynst Ierusalem, shal go vp yearly, to worshipe the kynge (euen ye LORDE of hoostes) and to kepe the feast off tabernacles. ¹⁷ And loke what generacion vpon earth goeth not vp to Ierusalem, for to worshipe the kynge (euen the LORDE of hoostes) vpon the same shal come no rayne. ¹⁸ Yff the kynred of Egipte go not vp & come not, it shall not rayne vpon them nether. This shalbe the plage wherwith ye LORDE wil smyte all Heithen, that come not vp to kepe the feast of tabernacles: ¹⁹ Yee this shalbe the synneplage of Egipte and the synneplage of all people, that go not vp to kepe the feast of tabernacles.

⁷ For the prestes lippes shulde be sure knowlege, that men maye seke the lawe at his mouth, for he is a messaunger of the LORDE of hoostes.

¹³ Now haue ye brought it to this poynte agayne, that the aulter of the LORDE is couered with teares wepynge and mournynge: so that I will nomore regarde the meatofferynge, nether wil I receaue or accepte enythinge at youre hodes.

⁴ Remembre the lawe of Moses my seruaunt, which I committed vnto him in Oreb for all Israel, with the statutes and ordinaunces.

²¹ Ye haue herde, how it was sayde to the of the olde tyme: Thou shalt not kyll. For whosoeuer kylleth, shall be in daunger of iudgement. ²² But I saye vnto you: whosoeuer is angrie with his brother, is in daunger of the iudgement. Whosoeuer sayeth vnto his brother: Racha, is in daunger of ye cousell. But whosoeuer sayeth: thou foole, is in daunger of hell fyre.

²⁷ Ye haue herde, how it was sayde to them of olde tyme: Thou shalt not committe aduoutrie. ²⁸ But I saye vnto you, that whosoeuer loketh on a wife lustinge after her, hath committed aduoutrie with hir already in his hert.

¹³ And lede vs not in to teptacion: but delyuer vs from euell. For thyne is the kyngdome, and the power, and the glorye for euer. Amen.

²⁸ And it came to passe, that when Iesus had ended these saynges, the people were astonnyed at hys doctryne. ²⁹ For he taught them as one hauynge power, and not as the Scribes.

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.

¹ Now whan they drew nye vnto Ierusalem, and were come to Bethphage vnto mount Oliuete, Iesus sent two of his disciples,

² and sayde: The scrybes & Pharises are set downe vpon Moses seate.

¹³ Wo vnto you Scrybes and Pharises, ye ypocrytes, that shut vp the kyngdome of heauen before men: Ye come not in youre selues, nether suffre ye them to enter, that wolde be in.

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:

³⁹ And he wente forth a litle, and fell flat vpon his face, and prayed sayenge: O my father, yf it be possible, let this cuppe passe fro me: neuertheles not as I wil but as thou wilt.

³³ And the people sawe the departynge awaye, and many knewe of it, & ranne thither together of fote out of all cities, & came before the, & came vnto him. ³⁴ And Iesus wente out, and sawe moch people, and had copassion vpon them: for they were as the shepe, that haue no shepherde, and he begane a loge sermon.

³⁷ There Dauid calleth him his LORDE. How is he the his sonne? And many people herde him gladly.

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.

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:

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.

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.

⁴¹ Neuertheles geue almesse of that ye haue, and beholde, all is cleane vnto you.

⁴⁷ And he taught daylie in the teple. But the hye prestes and the scrybes and the chefest of ye people wente aboute to destroye him, ⁴⁸ and founde not, what to do vnto him. For all the people stacke by him, and gaue him audience.

⁴⁸ and founde not, what to do vnto him. For all the people stacke by him, and gaue him audience.

²⁷ And he beganne at Moses and at all the prophetes, and expounded vnto them all the scriptures, that were spoken of him.

³² And they sayde, betwene the selues: Dyd not oure hert burne with in vs, whan he talked with vs by the waye, whyle he opened the scriptures vnto vs?

⁴⁵ The opened he their vnderstondinge, that they might vnderstonde the scriptures,

¹⁴ And the worde became flesh, and dwelt amonge vs: and we sawe his glory, a glory as of the onely begotte sonne of the father, full of grace and trueth.

² But the Iewes feast of Tabernacles was at hande.

³⁷ But in the last daye which was ye most solempne daye of the feast, Iesus stode vp, cried, and sayde: Who so thyrsteth, let him come vnto me, and drynke.

¹³ they toke braunches of palme trees, and wete out to mete him, and cryed: Hosianna, Blessed be he, that in the name of the LORDE commeth kynge of Israel.

¹ But as they spake to ye people, there came vnto the the prestes and the rulers of the teple, and the Saduces,

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. ³² The tenoure of the scripture which he red, was this: He was led as a shepe to be slayne, and as a lambe voycelesse before his sherer, so opened he not his mouth. ³³ In his humblenesse is his iudgment exalted. Who shal declare his generacion? for his life is taken awaye from the earth. ³⁴ Then answered the chamberlayne vnto Philippe, and sayde: I praye the, of whom speaketh the prophet this? of himselfe, or of some other man? ³⁵ Philippe opened his mouth, and beganne at this scripture, and preached him the Gospell of Iesus.

¹⁵ But after the lecture of the lawe and of the prophetes, the rulers of the synagoge sent vnto them, sayenge: Good brethren, yf ye haue eny sermon to exorte the people, saye on.

²⁷ For the inhabiters of Ierusalem, and their rulers, for somoch as they knewe him not, ner yet the voyces of the prophetes (which are red euery Sabbath) haue fulfylled them in condemnynge him.

⁴² Whan the Iewes were gone out of the synagoge, the Heythen besoughte them, yt they wolde speake ye worde vnto them betwene the Sabbath dayes.

²¹ For Moses hath of olde tyme in euery cite them that preach him: and he is red in the synagoges euery Sabbath daye.

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.

² And Paul (as his maner was) wete in vnto them, and vpon thre Sabbathes he spake vnto them of the scripture, opened it vnto the, ³ and alleged, that Christ must nedes haue suffred, & ryse agayne from the deed: and this Iesus, whom I preach vnto you (sayde he) is ye same Christ.

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.

⁷ Vpon one of the Sabbathes, whan the disciples came together to breake bred, Paul preached vnto them, wyllinge to departe on the morow, and contynued the preachinge vnto mydnight.

¹¹ Then wente he vp, and brake the bred, and ate, and talked moch with the, tyll the daye brake, and so departed.

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.

²⁰ because yt by ye dedes of the lawe no flesh maye be iustified in his sighte. For by the lawe commeth but the knowlege of synne.

⁹ As for me, I lyued some tyme without lawe. Howbeit whan the commaundement came, synne reuyued, but I was deed.

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,

¹⁶ But whan thou geuest thankes with ye sprete, how shal he that occupieth the rowme of the vnlearned, saye Ame at thy geuynge of thankes, seynge he knoweth not what thou sayest?

⁹ But now I reioyce, not that ye were sory, but that ye were sory to repentaunce. For ye sorowed godly, so that in nothinge ye were hurte by vs. ¹⁰ For godly sorowe causeth repentaunce vnto saluacion, not to be repented of: but worldly sorowe causeth death. ¹¹ Beholde, where as ye haue had godly sorowe, what diligence hath it wrought in you? Yee a sufficiet answere, displeasure, feare, desyre, a feruet mynde, punyshment. For in all poyntes ye haue shewed youre selues, that ye are cleare in that matter.

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.

⁸ for ye which I besoughte the LORDE thryse, that it mighte departe fro me. ⁹ And he sayde vnto me: My grace is sufficiet for the. For my strength is made perfecte thorow weaknes. Very glad therfore wil I reioyse in my weaknesses, that the strength of Christ maye dwell in me.

³ Blessed be God the father of oure LORDE Iesus Christ, which hath blessed vs wt all maner of spirituall blessynge in heauenly thynges by Christ

⁴ though I haue wherof I mighte reioyce in ye flesh. Yf eny other ma thynke that he hath wherof he mighte reioyce in the flesh, moch more I,

¹³ For this cause thanke we God without ceassynge, because that wha ye receaued of vs the worde of the preachinge of God, ye receaued it not as ye worde of men, but (eue as it is of a trueth) the worde of God, which worketh in you that beleue.

⁸ I wil therfore that men praye in all places, liftinge vp pure hades without wrath or dowtynge.

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:) ¹⁸ That they do good: that they be rich in good workes: that they geue and distribute with a good wyll:

²⁴ The seruaunt of the LORDE ought not to stryue, but to be gentle vnto euery man: apte to teach, one that can forbeare 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,

¹ Wherfore we ought to geue the more hede vnto the thinges which we haue herde, lest we perisshe. ² For yf the worde which was spoke by angels, was stedfast, and euery trasgression and dishobedience receaued a iust recompence of rewarde, 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,

⁸ For yf Iosua had geuen them rest, the wolde he not afterwarde haue spoken, of another daye.

⁹ By faith was he a straunger in the lode of promes as in a straunge countre, & dwelt in tabernacles: and so dyd Isaac & Iacob, heyres with him of the same promes:

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.

³ Blessed be God and the father of oure LORDE Iesus Christ, which acordinge to his greate mercy hath begotten vs agayne vnto a lyuely hope by the resurreccion of Iesus Christ from the deed,

²⁹ Let him yt hath eares, heare, what the sprete sayth to the cogregacions.

²² Let him that hath eares, heare, what the sprete saith vnto the cogregacios.

⁹ After this I behelde, and lo, a gret multitude (which no man coulde nombre) of all nacions and people, and tonges, stode before the seate, and before the lambe, clothed wt longe whyte garmetes, and palmes in their hondes,

¹¹ And all the angels stode in the compase of the seate, and of the elders and of the foure beastes, and fell before ye seat on their faces, and worshipped God,

¹⁰ And they that dwell vpo the earth, shal reioyce ouer them and be glad, and shal send giftes one to another: for these two prophetes vexed them that dwelt on the earth.
