²¹ Saue me from the lyons mouth, and heare me fro amonge the hornes off the vnicornes.

⁴ Though I shulde walke now in the valley of the shadowe of death, yet I feare no euell, for thou art with me: thy staffe & thy shepehoke coforte me.

¹⁹ Let me not be confounded (o LORDE) for I call vpon the: let the vngodly rather be put to confucion, and brought vnto the hell.

² Blessed is the man, vnto whom the LORDE imputeth no synne, in whose sprete there is no gyle.

⁵ Therfore I confessed my synne vnto the, and hyd not myne vnrightuousnesse.

³⁷ but when I wente by, lo, he was gone: I sought him, but he coude no where be founde.

¹ We haue herde with or eares (o God) or fathers haue tolde vs, what thou hast done in their tyme, of olde. ² How thou hast dryue out the Heithen wt thy honde, & plated the in: how thou hast destroyed the nacions & cast the out. ³ For they gat not the londe in possession thorow their owne swerde, nether was it their owne arme that helped them.

⁷ The LORDE of hoostes is wt vs, the God of Iacob is oure defence.

¹¹ The LORDE of hoostes is wt vs, the God of Iacob is oure defence. Sela.

⁵ Sela. God is gone vp wt a mery noyse, & the LORDE wt the sownde of the tropet. ⁶ O synge prayses, synge prayses vnto God: O synge prayses, synge prayses vnto oure kynge. ⁷ For God is kynge of all the earth, O synge prayses vnto him with vnderstondinge.

⁸ I reproue the not because of thy sacrifice, yi burntofferinges are allwaye before me. ⁹ I wil take no bullockes out of thy house, ner gotes out of thy foldes.

⁹ And all men that se it, shal saye: this hath God done for they shal perceaue, yt it is his worke.

³⁵ God is wonderfull in his Sanctuary, he is the God of Israel, he will geue strength and power vnto his people. Blessed be God.

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

¹⁵ Rightuousnes and equite is the habitacion of thy seate, mercy and trueth go before thy face. ¹⁶ Blessed is the people (o LORDE) that can reioyse in the, and walketh in the light of thy countenaunce. ¹⁷ Their delite is in thy name all the daye longe, and thorow thy rightuousnesse they shalbe exalted. ¹⁸ For thou art the glory of their strength, & thorow thy fauoure shalt thou lift vp oure hornes.

³⁵ My couenaunt wil I not breake, ner disanulle the thinge yt is gone out of my lippes.

¹⁰ But my horne shalbe exalted like the horne of an Vnicorne, & shal be anoynted with fresh oyle.

¹ The LORDE is kynge, the earth maye be glad therof: yee the multitude of the Iles maie be glad therof.

¹² Loke how wyde the east is from the west, so farre hath he set oure synnes from vs.

²⁸ They ioyned them selues vnto Baal Peor, and ate the offeringes of the deed.

¹⁷ He clothed him self with cursynge like as with a rayment: yee it wente in to his bowels like water, and like oyle in to his bones.

¹⁷ He clothed him self with cursynge like as with a rayment: yee it wente in to his bowels like water, and like oyle in to his bones. ¹⁸ Let it be vnto him as the cloke that he hath vpon him, and as the gyrdle that he is gyrded withall. ¹⁹ Let it thus happen from the LORDE vnto myne enemies, and to those that speake euell agaynst my soule. ²⁰ But deale thou with me (o LORDE God) acordinge vnto thy name, for swete is thy mercy.

¹⁵ O LORDE, I am thy seruaunt, I am thy seruaunt,

¹⁵ The voyce of ioye & myrth is in the dwellynges of ye rightuous, for ye right hande of the LORDE hath gotte the victory.

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.

¹³ Which deuyded the reed see in to partes, for his mercy endureth for euer. ¹⁴ And made Israel to go thorow ye myddest of it, for his mercy endureth for euer ¹⁵ But as for Pharao and his hoost, he ouerthrewe them in the reed see, for his mercy endureth for euer. ¹⁶ Which led his people thorow the wyldernesse, for his mercy endureth for euer. ¹⁷ Which smote greate kynges, for his mercy endureth for euer. ¹⁸ Yee and slewe mightie kynges, for his mercy endureth for euer. ¹⁹ Sihon kynge of the Amorites, for his mercy endureth for euer. ²⁰ And Og the kynge of Basan, for his mercy endureth for euer.

³² The vngodly is afrayed of euery parell, but the rightuous hath a good hope eue in death.

⁸ The LORDE abhorreth ye sacrifice of the vngodly, but the prayer of the rightuous is acceptable vnto him.

¹ A man maye well purpose a thinge in his harte, but ye answere of ye tonge cometh of ye LORDE.

⁹ A ma deuyseth a waye in his herte, but it is ye LORDE yt ordreth his goinges.

²¹ There are many deuices in a mas herte, neuertheles the coucell of ye LORDE shal stode.

³⁰ There is no wy?dome, there is no vnderstondinge, there is no councell agaynst the LORDE.

² Like as ye byrde and the swalowe take their flight and fle here and there, so the curse that is geuen in vayne, shal not light vpon a man.

²⁵ but wha he speaketh fayre, beleue him not, for there are seuen abhominacios in his herte.

³⁰ A Lyon which is kynge of beastes, & geueth place to no man:

¹⁰ Heare the worde of the LORDE ye tyrauntes of Sodoma: and herken vnto the lawe of oure God, thou people of Gomorra. ¹¹ Why offre ye so many sacrifices vnto me? I am discontent for the brentoffringes of wethers, and with ye fatnesse offedbeastes. I haue no pleasure in the bloude of bullockes, lambes and gootes.

¹¹ Why offre ye so many sacrifices vnto me? I am discontent for the brentoffringes of wethers, and with ye fatnesse offedbeastes. I haue no pleasure in the bloude of bullockes, lambes and gootes. ¹² When ye apeare before me, who requyreth you to treade within my porches? ¹³ Offre me no mo oblacions, for it is but lost laboure. I abhorre youre incense. I maye not awaye with youre newmoones, youre Sabbathes and solempne dayes. Youre fastinges are also in vayne. ¹⁴ I hate youre new holy dayes and fastinges, euen fro my very harte. They make me weery, I can not abyde them. ¹⁵ Though ye holde out yor hondes, yet turne I myne eyes from you. And though ye make many prayers, yet heare I nothinge at all, for youre hondes are full of bloude.

¹⁸ Now go to (saieth the LORDE) we wil talke together. Is it not so? Though youre synnes be as read as scarlet, shal they not be whyter then snowe? And though they were like purple, shall they not be like whyte woll?

¹⁰ take youre councel together, yet must youre councel come to nought: go in honde withal, yet shal it not prospere. Excepte Emanuel: (that is God) be with

⁶ Crie out, and be glad, thou that dwellest in Sion, for greate is thy prince: the holy one of Israel.

²⁷ For yf the LORDE of hoostes determe a thinge, who wyl dysanulle it? And yf he stretch forth his honde, who wil holde it in agayne?

⁴ For thus hath the LORDE spoke vnto me: Like as the Lyon or lyos whelpe roareth vpon the pray that he hath gotten, and is not afrayde, though ye multitude of shepardes crie out vpon him, nether abashed for all the heape of them: So shal the LORDE of hoostes come downe from the mount Sion, and defende his hill.

²² For the LORDE shalbe oure capteyne, the LORDE shalbe oure lawe geuer, The LORDE shalbe oure kinge, & he himself shalbe oure Sauioure.

¹⁷ Neuertheles my couersacion hath so pleased ye, that thou woldest not make an ende of my life, so that thou hast cast all my synnes behynde thy backe.

⁴ Who hath made, created, and called the generacions from the begynnynge? Euen I the LORDE, which am the first, and with the last.

¹⁰ be not afrayde, for I wil be with ye. Lake not behinde ye, for I wil be thy God, to stregth ye, helpe ye, & to kepe ye with this right hode of myne.

¹³ And euen he am I from the begynnynge, and there is none, that can take eny thinge out of my honde. And what I do, can no man chaunge.

²⁵ I destroye the tokens of witches, and make the Sothsayers go wronge. As for the wise, I turne them bacward, and make their conninge folishnesse.

⁶ Ye fooles (no doute) wil take out syluer and golde out of youre purses, and weye it, and hyre a goldsmyth to make a god of it, that men maye knele downe and worshipe it.

¹⁰ In the begynnynge of a thinge, I shewe the ende therof: and I tel before, thinges that are not yet come to passe. With one worde is my deuyce accomplished, & fulfilleth all my pleasure. ¹¹ I call a byrde out of the east, and all that I take in honde, out of farre countrees. As soone as I commaunde, I bringe it hither: as soone as I thinke to deuyse a thinge, I do it.

¹² Now go to thy coniurers, and to the multitude of thy witches, (whom thou hast bene acquanted withal from thi youth) yf they maye helpe the, or strengthe the. ¹³ Thou hast hither to had many councels of them, so let the heauengasers & the beholders of starres, come on now and delyuer the: yee and let the shewe, when these new thinges shall come vpon the.

¹⁶ I shal put my worde also in thy mouth, and defende the with the turnynge of my honde: that thou mayest plante the heauens, and laye the foundacions of the earth, and saye vnto Sion: thou art my people.

¹ Bvt in the meane season ye righteous perisheth, & no ma regardeth it in his hert. Good godly people are taken awaye. & no ma cosidreth it. Namely: that the righteous is conuayed awaye thorow ye wicked: ² that he himself might be in rest, lie quietly vpon his bed, & lyue after his owne pleasure.

³ Wherfore fast we (saye they) and thou seist it not? we put oure liues to straitnesse, and thou regardest it not? ⁴ Beholde, when ye fast, youre lust remayneth still: for ye do no lesse violence to youre detters: lo, ye fast to strife and debate, and to smyte him with youre fist, that speaketh vnto you. Ye fast not (as somtyme) that youre voyce might be herde aboue.

²¹ I will make this conuenaunt with them (sayeth ye LORDE): My sprete that is come vpon the, & the wordes which I haue put in yi mouth, shal neuer go out of thy mouth, nor out of ye mouth of thy childre, no ner out of ye mouth of thy childers childre, from this tyme forth for euer more.

⁹ In their troubles he forsoke the not, but the angel that went forth from his presence, delyuered them: Of very loue & kindnesse that he had vnto them, redemed he them. He hath borne them, and caried them vp euer, sence the worlde begane. ¹⁰ But after they prouoked him to wrath and vexed his holy minde, he was their enemie, and fought agaynst them him self. ¹¹ Yet remebred he the olde tyme, of Moses & his people: How he brought them from the water of the see, as a shepherde doth with his shepe: how he had geuen his holy sprete amonge them: ¹² how he had led Moses by the right honde with his glorious arme: how he had deuyded the water before them (wherby he gat him self an euerlastinge name)

⁹ And with that, the LORDE stretched out his honde, and touched my mouth, and sayde morouer vnto me: Beholde I put my wordes in thy mouth,

¹⁷ Then Sedechias the kynge sent for him, & called him, & axed him quietly in his owne house, sayenge: thinkest thou this busynes (that now is in honde) cometh of the LORDE? Ieremy answerde: yee yt it doth: & thou (sayde he) shalt be delyuered in to the kynge of Babilons power.

²⁸ Feare thou not (o Iacob my seruaunt) saieth the LORDE, for I am with the: and will destroye all nacions, amonge whom I haue scatred the. Neuertheles I will not consume the, but chasten the and correcke the: yee and that with discrecion: nether wil I spare the, as one that were fautlesse.

²⁰ In those dayes and at the same tyme (saieth the LORDE) yf the offence of Israel be sought for, there shal none be founde: Yf men enquere for the synne of Iuda, there shal be none: for I wil be mercifull vnto them, whom I suffre to remayne ouer.

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

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

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.

²³ And in the feast of the seuen dayes he shal offre euery daye a bullocke & a ram, that are with out blemysh, for a burntoffrynge vnto the LORDE: & an he gaote daylie for a synoffrynge.

³⁵ Thus shal it haue xviij M measures roude aboute. And from that tyme forth, ye name of the cite shalbe: the LORDE is there.

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.

¹⁵ And now, o LORDE oure God, thou that with a mightie honde hast brought thy people out of Egipte, to get thy self a name, which remayneth this daye: we haue synned

⁹ therfore haue I not turned me to destroye Ephraim in my wrothful displeasure. For I am God and no man, I am euen that holy one in the myddest of the, though I came not within the cite.

¹¹ But at Galaad is the abhominacion, they are fallen to vanyte. At Galgal they haue slayne oxen: and as many heapes of stones as they had in their lode forowes, so many aulters haue they made.

² Take these wordes with you, when ye turne to the LORDE, & saye vnto him: O forgeue vs all oure synnes, receaue vs graciously, & then wil we offre ye bullockes of oure lyppes vnto the. ³ Assur shalbe no more oure helper, nether will we ryde vpon horses eny more. As for the workes of oure hondes, we wil nomore call vpon them: For it is thou that art oure God, thou shewest euer mercy vnto the fatherlesse. 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.

⁸ When a lyon roareth, who will not be afrayed? Seynge then that the LORDE God himself speaketh, who will not prophecy?

⁹ For lo, this I promyse: though I siffte ye house of Israel amonge all nacions (like as they vse to sifte in a syue) yet shall not ye smallest grauel stone fall vpo the earth:

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?

⁸ Yee the residue of Iacob shalbe amonge the Gentiles and the multitude off people, as the lyon amonge the beestes of ye wodde, and as the lyons whelpe amonge a flocke of shepe: which (when he goeth thorow) treadeth downe, teareth in peces, and there is no man that can helpe. ⁹ Thyne honde shalbe lift vp vpon thine enemies, and all thine aduersaries shal perish.

⁴ Because I brought the fro the londe of Egipte, and delyuered the out of the house of bondage? Because I made Moses, Aaron and Miriam to lede the? ⁵ Remembre (o my people) what Balach the kynge of Moab had ymagined agaynst the, ad what answere that Balaam the sonne of Beor gaue him, from Sethim vnto Galgal: yt ye maye knowe the louynge kyndnesses of ye LORDE.

⁵ Remembre (o my people) what Balach the kynge of Moab had ymagined agaynst the, ad what answere that Balaam the sonne of Beor gaue him, from Sethim vnto Galgal: yt ye maye knowe the louynge kyndnesses of ye LORDE.

¹⁵ Maruelous thinges will I shewe them, like as when they came out of Egipte.

¹⁸ Where is there soch a God as thou? that pardonest wickednes, and forgeuest the offences of the remnaunt of thine heretage? He kepeth not his wrath for euer. And why? his delyte is to haue compassion: ¹⁹ he shal turne agayne, & be mercyfull to vs: he shal put downe oure wickednesses, & cast all oure synnes in to the botome of the see. ²⁰ Thou shalt kepe thy trust with Iacob, and thy mercy for Abraham, like as thou hast sworne vnto oure fathers longe agoo.

²⁰ Thou shalt kepe thy trust with Iacob, and thy mercy for Abraham, like as thou hast sworne vnto oure fathers longe agoo.

¹¹ Where is now the dwellinge of the lyos, and the pasture of the lyons whelpes? where the lyon and the lyonesse wente with the whelpes, and no man frayed them awaye?

³ for ye visio is yet farre of for a tyme, but at ye last it shal come to passe, & not fayle. And though he tary, yet wait thou for him, for in very dede he wil come, and not be slacke.

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?

⁴ Out of Iuda shal come the helmet, the nale, the batelbowe, and all the princes together. ⁵ They shalbe as the giauntes, which in the batell treade downe the myre vpon ye stretes. They shal fight, for ye LORDE shalbe with them, so that the horsmen shalbe confounded.

⁶ In that tyme will I make the prynces of Iuda like an hote burnynge ouen with wodd, and like a cresshet off fyre amonge the strawe: so that they shal cosume all the people roude aboute them, both vpon the right honde and the left. Ierusale also shalbe inhabited agayne: namely, in the same place where Ierusalem stondeth.

⁶ For I am the LORDE yt chaunge not, & ye (o children of Iacob) wil not leaue of:

²³ Beholde, a mayde shall be with chylde, and shall brynge forth a sonne, and they shall call his name Emanuel, which is by interpretacion, God wt vs.

²⁵ Neuertheles Iesus knew their thoughtes, and sayde vnto them: Euery kyngdome deuyded within it self, shalbe desolate: and euery cite or house deuyded in it self, maye not contynue.

²⁷ But yf I cast out deuils thorow Beelzebub, thorow whom do youre childre cast them out? Therfore shal they be youre iudges.

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.

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.

¹⁸ And I saie to ye: Thou art Peter, & vpo this rocke wil I builde my cogregacion: and ye gates of hell shal not preuayle agaynst it.

¹² and sayde: These last haue wrought but one houre, and thou hast made the equall vnto us, which haue borne the burthen and heate of the daye.

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.

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.

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

¹⁸ But he sayde vnto them: I sawe Sathan fall downe from heauen as a lightenynge. ¹⁹ Beholde, I haue geuen you power to treade vpon serpetes and scorpions, and ouer all power of the enemye, and nothinge shall hurte you.

¹² for the holy goost shal teach you in the same houre, what ye ought to saye.

¹² I fast twyse in the weke, I geue the tithes of all that I haue.

³⁷ And whan he wete downe fro mount Oliuete, ye whole multitude of his disciples begane ioyfully to prayse God with loude voyce, ouer all the miracles that they had sene, ³⁸ and sayde: Blessed be he, that cometh a kynge in the name of the LORDE. Peace be in heauen, and prayse in the height.

³³ Heauen and earth shal passe, but my wordes shal not passe.

²⁷ My shepe heare my voyce, & I knowe the, & they folowe me. ²⁸ And I geue the euerlastinge life, & they shal neuer perishe, and noma shal plucke the out of my hande. ²⁹ My father which gaue the me, is greater the all: & noman is able to plucke them out of my fathers hande.

⁴⁷ Then the hye prestes, and the pharises gathered a councell, and sayde: What do we? This man doth many tokens.

⁵¹ This spake he not of himself, but for so moch as he was hye prest of the same yeare, he prophecied. For Iesus was for to dye for the people,

² They shal excomunicate you. The tyme commeth, that who soeuer putteth you to death, shal thynke that he doth seruyce vnto God.

¹⁶ & saide: What shal we do to these me? for a manyfest token is done by them, and is openly knowne vnto the that dwell at Ierusalem, and we can not denye it.

¹⁹ But Peter & Ihon answered, and sayde vnto the: Iudge ye youre selues, whether it be right before God, that we shulde be more obedient vnto you, then vnto God. ²⁰ We can not chose, but speake that we haue sene & herde.

¹² Many tokens and wonders were done amonge the people by the hades of the Apostles (and they were all together with one acorde in Salomons porche:

¹⁴ The multitude of the men and women that beleued in the LORDE, grewe more and more)

²⁹ But Peter and the Apostles answered, and sayde: We ought more to obeye God then men.

³⁸ how God anoynted the same Iesus of Nazareth with the holy goost and wt power, which wente aboute, & dyd good, and healed all those that were oppressed of the deuell, for God was with him.

¹² Then all ye multitude helde their peace, and gaue audience vnto Paul and Barnabas, which tolde how greate tokens and wonders God had done by the amoge the Heythen.

²⁷ Where is now then thy reioysinge? It is excluded. By what lawe? By the lawe of workes? Nay, but by the lawe of faith.

⁷ Blessed are they, whose vnrighteousnesses are forgeuen, and whose synnes are couered. ⁸ Blessed is the man, vnto whom the LORDE imputeth no synne.

¹⁴ For synne shal not haue power ouer you, in so moch as ye are not vnder the lawe, but vnder grace.

¹ Then is there now no damnacion vnto the that are in Christ Iesu, which walke not after the flesh, but after ye sprete.

³⁸ For sure I am, that nether death ner life, nether angell, ner rule, nether power, nether thinges present, nether thinges to come, ³⁹ nether heyth, ner loweth, nether eny other creature shalbe able to separate vs from the loue of God, which is in Christ Iesu oure LORDE.

²⁹ For verely the giftes & callynge of God are soch, that it can not repente him of them.

⁸ But I saye that Christ Iesus was a mynister of the circumcision for the trueth of God, to cofirme the promyses made vnto the fathers, ⁹ and that the Heythen mighte prayse God because of mercy, as it is wrytten: For this cause wyl I prayse the amoge the Getyles, and synge vnto thy name. ¹⁰ And agayne he sayeth: Reioyse ye Heythen with his people.

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.

²⁰ The God of peace treade Sathan vnder yor fete shortly. The grace of or LORDE Iesu Christ be with you

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,

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: ⁵⁵ Death is swalowed vp in victory. Death, where is thy stynge? Hell, where is yi victory? ⁵⁶ The stynge of death is synne: The strength of synne is the lawe. ⁵⁷ But thankes be vnto God, which hath geue vs the victory thorow oure LORDE Iesus Christ.

¹⁴ Yet thankes be vnto God, which all waye geueth vs the victory in Christ, and openeth ye fauoure of his knowlege by vs in euery place.

¹ We knowe surely, yt yf oure earthy house of this dwellynge were destroyed, we haue a buyldynge ordeyned of God, an house not made with handes, but euerlastynge in heauen.

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.

¹⁶ How acordeth ye teple of God with ymages? Ye are the temple of the lyuynge God, as sayeth God: I wyl dwell in them, and walke in them, and wyl be their God, & they shalbe my people. ¹⁷ Wherfore come out from amoge them, and separate youre selues (sayeth the LORDE) and touche no vncleane thinge, so wyl I receaue you,

²³ Neuertheles they had herde onely, that: He that persecuted vs in tyme passed, preacheth now ye faith which some tyme he destroyed: ²⁴ and they praysed God in me.

⁹ not of workes, lest eny ma shulde boast him selfe.

¹² that ye at the same tyme were without Christ, and reputed aleauntes from the comen welth of Israel, and were straungers from the Testamentes of promes, therfore had ye no hope, and were without God in this worlde. ¹³ But now ye that be in Christ Iesu, and afore tyme were farre of, are now made nye by the bloude of Christ. ¹⁴ For he is or peace, which of both hath made one, and hath broken downe the wall, that was a stoppe betwene vs,

²¹ For Christ is to me life, & death is to me auautage. ²² But in as moch as to lyue in ye flesh is frutefull to me for the worke, I wote not what ²³ I shal chose, for both these thinges lye harde vpon me. I desyre to be lowsed, & to be with Christ, which thinge were moch better (for me)

⁸ For fro you was the worde of the LORDE noysed out, not onely in Macedonia & Achaia, but i all quarters also is yor faith i God spred abrode so that it nedeth not vs to speake eny thinge at all. ⁹ For they them selues shewe of you, what maner of entrynge in we had vnto you, and how ye are turned vnto God from ymages, for to serue the lyuynge and true God,

⁶ For I am now ready to be offered, and the tyme of my departinge is at honde. ⁷ I haue foughte a good fighte: I haue fulfylled the course: I haue kepte the faith. ⁸ From hence forth there is layed vp for me a crowne of righteousnes, which the LORDE the righteous iudge shal geue me in yt daye: Howbeit not vnto me onely, but vnto all them that loue his comynge.

² vpon the hope of eternall life: which God that can not lye hath promysed before the tymes of the worlde:

¹⁶ They saye that they knowe God, but with the dedes they denye him: for so moch as they are abhominable and dishobedient, and vnmete to all good workes.

¹⁴ which gaue him selfe for vs, to redeme vs fro all vnrighteousnes, and to pourge vs to be a peculiar people vnto himselfe, to be feruently geuen vnto good workes.

¹⁸ yt by two immutable thinges (in the which it is vnpossible yt God shulde lye) we mighte haue a stronge consolacion: euen we, which are fled to holde fast the hope that is set before vs,

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.
