⁵ My flesh is clothed with wormes, fylthinesse and dust: my skynne is wythered, and crompled together: ⁶ my dayes passe ouer more spedely, the a weeuer can weeue out his webbe, and are gone, or I am awarre.

⁶ my dayes passe ouer more spedely, the a weeuer can weeue out his webbe, and are gone, or I am awarre. ⁷ O remembre, that my life is but a wynde, ad that myne eye shal nomore se the pleasures

⁷ O remembre, that my life is but a wynde, ad that myne eye shal nomore se the pleasures ⁸ therof yee and that none other mans eye shall se me eny more. For yf thou fasten thine eyes vpon me, I come to naught like ⁹ as a cloude is cosumed and vanyshed awaye, euen so he that goeth downe to hell, commeth nomore vp, ¹⁰ ner turneth agayne in to his house, nether shall his place knowe him eny more.

²¹ Why doest thou not forgeue me my synne? Wherfore takest thou not awaye my wickednesse? Beholde, now must I slepe in the dust: and yff thou sekest me tomorow in the mornynge, I shalbe gone.

¹⁸ But yf it be taken out off his place, euery man denyeth it, sayenge: I knowe the not. ¹⁹ Lo, thus is it wt him, that reioyseth in his owne doinges: and as for other, they growe out of the earth.

⁹ O remembre (I beseke the) how that thou madest me of the moulde of the earth, and shalt brynge me to earth agayne.

⁶ that he might shewe the (out of his secrete wy?dome) how manyfolde his lawe is: then shuldest thou knowe, that God had forgotten the, because of thy synnes.

²⁵ Wilt thou be so cruell & extreme vnto a flyenge leaf, and folowe vpon drye stubble?

¹ Man that is borne of a woman, hath but a shorte tyme to lyue, and is full of dyuerse miseries. ² He cometh vp, and falleth awaye like a floure. He flyeth as it were a shadowe, and neuer continueth in one state. ³ Thinkest thou it now well done, to open thine eyes vpon soch one, and to brynge me before the in iudgment?

¹⁰ But as for man, when he is deed, perished and consumed awaye, what becommeth of him?

⁹ So that the eye which sawe him before, getteth now no sight of him, & his place knoweth him nomore.

¹² Now because yt God is hyer the the heauens, & because thou seist yt the starres are so hye,

¹³ sayege: This is the porcion that the wicked shall haue of God, & the heretage that Tyrauntes shal receaue of ye Allmightie. ¹⁴ Yf he get many childre, they shal perish wt the swearde, & his posterite shall haue scarcenesse of bred. ¹⁵ Loke whom he leaueth behinde him, they shal dye & be buried, & no man shall haue pite of his wyddowes. ¹⁶ Though he haue as moch money as the dust of the earth, & raymet as ready as the claye, ¹⁷ he maye well prepare it: but the godly shal put it vpon him, and the innocet shal deale out the money. ¹⁸ His house shal endure as the moth, & as a bothe that the watch man maketh. ¹⁹ When the rich man dyeth, he carieth nothinge with him: he is gone in ye twincklynge of an eye. ²⁰ Destruccion taketh holde vpo him as a water floude, & ye tepest stealeth him awaye in the night season.

²⁰ Destruccion taketh holde vpo him as a water floude, & ye tepest stealeth him awaye in the night season. ²¹ A vehement wynde carieth him hence, & departeth: a storme plucketh him out of his place.

²¹ A vehement wynde carieth him hence, & departeth: a storme plucketh him out of his place. ²² It ru?sheth in vpon him, and spareth him not, he maye not escape from the power therof. ²³ Than clappe me their hodes at him, yee and ieast of him, whe they loke vpon his place.

¹⁹ he chasteneth him with sicknesse, & bringeth him to his bed: he laieth sore punyshmet vpo his bones, ²⁰ so that his life maye awaye wt no bred, & his soule abhorreth to eate eny dayntie meate: ²¹ In so moch, that his body is clene consumed awaye, & his bones appeare nomore. ²² His soule draweth on to destruccion, & his life to death. ²³ Now yf there be an angel (one amonge a thousande) sent for to speake vnto ma, and to shewe him the right waye: ²⁴ the the LORDE is mercifull vnto him, & sayeth: He shalbe delyuered, yt he fall not downe to destruccion, for I am sufficiently recociled. ²⁵ Than his flesh (which hath bene in misery & trouble) shalbe, as it was in his youth. ²⁶ For yf he submitte himself vnto God, he is gracious, & sheweth him his countenaunce ioyfully, & rewardeth man for his rightuousnes. ²⁷ Soch a respecte hath he vnto me. Therfore let a man cofesse, (& saye:) I offended, but he hath chastened & refourmed me: I dyd vnrightuously, neuerthelesse he hath not recopensed me therafter. ²⁸ Yee he hath delyuered my soule from destruccion, & my life, that it seyth ye light. ²⁹ Lo, thus worketh God allwaie with ma, ³⁰ that he kepeth his soule from perishinge, & latteth him enioye the light of ye lyuinge.

⁴ Neuerthelesse, he that dwelleth in heauen, shall laugh the to scorne: yee euen the LORDE himselff shall haue them in derision.

¹² For thou LORDE geuest thy blessinge vnto the rightuous: and with thy fauorable kyndnes thou defendest him, as with a shylde.

⁵ After thou haddest for a season made him lower the the angels, thou crownedest him with honor & glory.

⁷ But ye LORDE endureth for euer, he hath prepared his seate vnto iudgmet.

⁹ The LORDE is a defence for the poore, a defence in the tyme of trouble.

¹⁴ This thou seist, for thou considrest the mysery and sorowe: The poore geueth himselff ouer in to thy hande, and committeth him vnto the, for thou art the helper of the frendlesse. ¹⁵ Breake thou ye arme off the vngodly and malycious, search out the wickednesse which he hath done, that he maye perish. ¹⁶ The LORDE is kynge for euer, ye Heithen shal perish out off his londe. ¹⁷ LORDE, thou hearest the desyrous longinge off the poore: their herte is sure, that thine eare herkeneth therto. ¹⁸ Helpe the fatherlesse and poore vnto their right, that the vngodly be nomore exalted vpon earth.

⁴ But the LORDE is in his holy temple, the LORDES seate is in heauen: He cosidereth it with his eyes, his eye lyddes beholde the children of men.

⁵ Now for the troubles sake off the oppressed, & because of the complaynte of the poore, I wil vp (sayeth the LORDE) I wil helpe the, and set the at rest.

³ Sela. For thou hast preueted him wt liberall blessinges, & set a crowne of golde vpon his heade.

³¹ The sede shall serue him, and preach of the LORDE for euer. They shal come, & declare his rightuousnes: vnto a people that shal be borne, who the LORDE hath made.

⁵ Thou preparest a table before me agaynst mine enemies: thou anoyntest my heade with oyle, & fyllest my cuppe full.

⁶ Call to remembraunce, O LORDE, thy tender mercyes & thy louinge kyndnesses, which haue bene euer of olde.

¹⁰ All the wayes of the LORDE are very mercy & faithfulnesse, vnto soch as kepe his testament and couenaunt.

¹ A scrybe vnto the LORDE (o ye mightie) ascribe vnto the LORDE worshipe and strength.

² O LORDE my God, I cried vnto the, and thou hast healed me.

⁵ For his wrath endureth but the twincklinge of an eye, and his pleasure is in life: heuynesse maye well endure for a night, but ioye commeth in the mornynge.

¹ Blessed are they, whose vnrightuousnesse is forgeuen, and whose synnes are couered. ² Blessed is the man, vnto whom the LORDE imputeth no synne, in whose sprete there is no gyle. ³ For whyle I helde my tonge, my bones consumed awaye thorow my daylie complaynynges. ⁴ And because thy hande was so heuy vpon me both daye and night, my moysture was like the drouth in Sommer. Sela. ⁵ Therfore I confessed my synne vnto the, and hyd not myne vnrightuousnesse.

⁶ By the worde of the LORDE were the heauens made, & all the hoostes of them by ye breth of his mouth.

²² The LORDE delyuereth the soules of his seruautes, and all they that put their trust in him, shal not offende.

⁵ Thy mercy (O LORDE) reacheth vnto the heauen, and thy faithfulnesse vnto the cloudes.

¹ Pvt me not to rebuke (Oh LORDE) in thine anger: Oh chaste me not in thy heuy displeasure. ² For thy arowes stick fast in me, and thy honde presseth me sore. ³ There is no whole parte in my body, because of thy displeasure: there is no rest in my bones, by reason of my synnes. ⁴ For my wickednesses are gone ouer my heade, and are like a sore burthen, to heuy forme to beare. ⁵ My woundes styncke & are corrupte, thorow my folishnesse. ⁶ I am brought into so greate trouble and misery, that I go mournynge all the daye longe. ⁷ For my loynes are clene dried vp, and there is no whole parte in my body.

³ The LORDE shal refresh him, when he lyeth sick vpon his bedd, yee thou makest his bed in all his sicknesse. ⁴ I sayde: LORDE be mercifull vnto me, heale my soule, for I haue synned agaynst the.

⁸ They haue geuen a wicked sentence vpon me: when he lyeth, he shal ryse vp nomore.

² For the LORDE the most hyest is to be feared, & he is the greate kynge vpo all ye earth.

⁷ For God is kynge of all the earth, O synge prayses vnto him with vnderstondinge.

¹ The LORDE euen the mightie God hath spoke, & called the worlde from the rysinge vp of the sonne vnto the goinge downe of the same.

¹ Haue mercy vpon me (o God) after thy goodnes, & acordinge vnto thy greate mercies, do awaye myne offences. ² Wash me well fro my wickednesse, & clense me fro my synne. ³ For I knowlege my fautes, and my synne is euer before me.

¹³ For thou hast delyuered my soule fro death, & my fete fro fallinge, yt I maye walke before God in ye light of ye lyuynge.

⁷ They haue layed a nett for my fete, & pressed downe my soule: they haue dygged a pyt before me, and are fallen in to it them selues. ⁸ Sela. My hert is ready (o God) my hert is ready, to synge and geue prayse. ⁹ Awake (o my glory) awake lute and harpe, I my self wil awake right early. ¹⁰ I wil geue thakes vnto the (o LORDE) amonge the people, I wil synge prayses vnto the amonge the Heithe.

¹⁰ I wil geue thakes vnto the (o LORDE) amonge the people, I wil synge prayses vnto the amonge the Heithe. ¹¹ For ye greatnes of thy mercy reacheth vnto the heauens, and thy faithfulnesse vnto the cloudes. Set vp thy self (o God) aboue the heaues, & thy glory aboue all ye earth.

⁵ As loge as I liue wil I magnifie the, & lift vp my hondes in thy name.

⁴ Blessed is the man who thou chosest and receauest vnto the, that he maye dwell in thy courte: he shall be satisfied with the pleasures of thy house, euen off thy holy temple.

¹¹ Thou watrest hir forowes, thou breakest the harde clottes therof, thou makest it soft with ye droppes of rayne, and blessest the increase of it.

¹⁷ The charettes of God are many M. tymes a thousande, the LORDE is amoge them in the holy Sinai.

²³ My tonge talketh of thy rightuousnesse all the daye longe,

⁴ He shal kepe the symple folke by their right, defende the childre of the poore, and punysh the wrongeous doer.

¹² For he shal deliuer the poore whe he crieth, & the nedy yt hath no helpe.

²⁰ Thou leddest thy people like a flocke of shepe, by the honde of Moses and Aaron.

⁵ He made a couenaunt with Iacob, and gaue Israel a lawe, which he comaunded oure forefathers to teach their children.

¹¹ They kepte not the couenaut of God, & wolde not walke in his lawe.

²⁵ He rayned downe Manna vpo them for to eate, and gaue them bred from heauen.

³⁸ But he was so mercifull, that he forgaue their mysdedes, and destroyed them not: ³⁹ Yee many a tyme turned he his wrath awaye, and wolde not suffre his whole displeasure to aryse.

⁵ For thou LORDE art good and gracious, & of greate mercy vnto all them that call vpon the.

¹² I thanke the o LORDE my God, & wil prayse thy name for euer. ¹³ For greate is thy mercy towarde me, thou hast delyuered my soule from ye nethermost hell.

¹⁵ But thou (o LORDE God) art full of compassion and mercy, longesuffrynge, greate in goodnesse & trueth.

¹ My songe shal be allwaye of the louynge kyndnesse of the LORDE, wt my mouth wil I euer be shewinge thy faithfulnesse fro one generacion to another. ² For I haue sayde: mercy shal be set vp for euer, thy faithfulnesse shalt thou stablish in the heauens.

² For I haue sayde: mercy shal be set vp for euer, thy faithfulnesse shalt thou stablish in the heauens.

⁴⁷ Sela. LORDE, how longe wilt thou hyde thy self? For euer? shal thy wrath burne like fyre?

⁵ As soone as thou scatrest them, they are euen as a slepe, and fade awaye sodenly like the grasse. ⁶ In the mornynge it is grene and groweth vp, but in the euenynge it is cutt downe and wythered.

¹⁶ Shewe thy seruauntes thy worke, & their children thy glory.

³ O let men geue thakes vnto thy greate & wonderful name, for it is holy.

⁷ He spake vnto the out of the cloudy piler, for they kepte his testimonies, & the lawe that he gaue them.

⁵ For the LORDE is gracious, his mercy is euerlastinge, and his treuth endureth from generacion to generacion.

¹ Prayse the LORDE (o my soule) & all that is within me prayse his holy name.

¹¹ For loke how hye the heaue is in comparison of the earth, so greate is his mercy also towarde them that feare him. ¹² Loke how wyde the east is from the west, so farre hath he set oure synnes from vs.

¹⁷ But the mercifull goodnesse of ye LORDE endureth for euer and euer, vpon them yt feare him, and his rightuousnesse vpon their childers children.

²² O speake good of the LORDE all ye workes of his, in euery place of his dominion: prayse thou the LORDE, o my soule.

¹ Prayse the LORDE o my soule: O LORDE my God, thou art become exceadinge glorious, thou art clothed with maiesty and honoure.

⁴ Thou makest thine angels spretes, and thy ministers flammes of fyre.

²⁸ Whe thou geuest it them, they gather it: whe thou openest thine honde, they are fylled with good.

³⁵ As for synners, they shalbe cosumed out of the earth, and the vngodly shal come to an ende: but prayse thou the LORDE, o my soule. Halleluya.

⁵ Remembre the maruelous workes that he hath done, his wonders and the iudgmentes of his mouth.

And yf he stretch forth his honde, who wil holde it in agayne? ²⁸ The same yeare that kynge Achas dyed, God threatned by Esay on this maner: ²⁹ Reioyse not (thou whole Palestina) as though ye rod of him yt beateth the were broken: For out of ye serpentes rote, there shal waxe a kockatrice, & the frute shalbe a fyrie worme. ³⁰ But the poore shall fede of the best thinges, and the symple shal dwell in safetie.

¹ Wo be to ye crowne of pryde, to ye dronke Ephraemites, and to the faydinge floure, to the glory of his pope, yt is vpo the toppe of the pleteous valley: which me be ouerladen wt wyne.

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.

⁶ The same voyce spake: Now crie. And I sayde: what shal I crie? Then spake it: that, all flesh is grasse, and that all the bewtie therof, is as the floure of the felde. ⁷ When the grasse is wytthered, the floure falleth awaye. Euen so is the people as grasse, when the breath of the LORDE bloweth vpon them.

⁷ When the grasse is wytthered, the floure falleth awaye. Euen so is the people as grasse, when the breath of the LORDE bloweth vpon them. ⁸ Neuerthelesse whether the grasse wyther, or the floure fade awaye: Yet the worde of oure God endureth for euer. Morouer the voyce cried thus:

³¹ But vnto them that haue the LORDE before their eyes, shal strength be encreased, Aegles wynges shal growe vpon them: When they runne, they shal not fall: and when they go, they shal not be weery.

⁸ And thou Israel my seruaunt: Iacob my electe sede of Abraha my beloued,

¹⁰ Synge therfore vnto the LORDE, a new songe of thakes geuynge, blow out his prayse vnto the ende of the worlde. They that be vpon the see, & all that is therin, prayse him, the Iles & they that dwel in them. ¹¹ Let the wildernes with hir cities lift vp hir voyce, the townes also that be in Cedar. Let them be glad that syt vpon rockes of stone, and let them crie downe from the hie mountaynes: ¹² ascribinge almightynes vnto the LORDE, & magnifienge him amonge the Getiles.

²⁰ The wilde beastes shal worshippe me: the dragon, and the Estrich. For I shall geue water in ye wildernesse, and streames in the deserte: that I maye geue drike to my people, whom I chose.

²⁵ Where as I yet am euen he only, that for myne owne selfes sake do awaye thine offences, & forget thy synnes: so that I wil neuer thinke vpon them.

²³ Be glad ye heauens, whom the LORDE hath made, let all yt is here beneth vpon the earth, be ioyfull. Reioyse ye mountaynes & woddes, with all the trees that are in you: for ye LORDE shal redeme Iacob, & shewe his glory vpon Israel.

⁶ that it might be knowne from the risynge of the Sonne to the goinge downe of the same, that all is nothinge without me. For I am the LORDE, & there is els none.

¹³ I shal bringe forth my rightuousnesse, It is not farre, and my health shal not tarie longe awaye. I wil laye health in Sio, and geue Israel my glory.

¹³ Reioyse ye heauens, and synge prayses thou earth: Talke of ioye ye hilles, for God wil coforte his people, & haue mercy vpon his, yt be in trouble.

⁶ Lift vp youre eyes toward heaue, and loke vpon the earth beneth. For the heauens shal vanish awaye like smoke, and the earth shall teare like a clothe, & they that dwel therin, shal perish in like maner. But my health endureth for euer, and my rightuousnes shall not ceasse.

¹² Yee I, I am eue he, that in all thiges geueth you consolacion. What art thou then, that fearest a mortall ma, ye childe of man, which goeth awaye as doeth the floure?

⁵ where as he (not withstodinge) shal be wouded for oure offences, & smytten for oure wickednes. For the payne of or punyshmet shalbe layde vpo him, & wt his stripes shal we be healed.

⁷ Let the vngodly man forsake his wayes, ad the vnrightuous his ymaginacios, & turne agayne vnto the LORDE, so shal he be merciful vnto him: and to oure God, for he is redy to forgeue.

⁹ But as farre as the heauens are hyer then the earth, so farre do my waies exceade yours, & my thoughtes yours

¹⁶ For I chide not euer, & am not wroth wt out ende. But ye blastinge goeth fro me, though I make the breath.

⁶ But this fastinge pleaseth not me, till ye tyme be thou lowse him out of bondage, that is in thy daunger: that thou breake the ooth of wicked bargaynes, that thou let the oppressed go fre, and take from them all maner of burthens. ⁷ It pleaseth not me, till thou deale thy bred to the hongrie, & brynge the poore fatherlesse home in to thy house, when thou seist the naked that thou couer him, and hyde not thy face fro thine owne flesh.

¹ What is he this, that cometh from Edom, with stayned reade clothes of Bosra: (which is so costly, cloth) & cometh in so neebly with all his stregth? I am he yt teacheth rightuousnes, & am of power to helpe.

⁷ I will declare the goodnesse of the LORDE, yee and the prayse of the LORDE for all that he hath gyuen vs, for the greate good yt he hath done for Israel: which he hath gyuen them of his owne fauoure, & acordinge to the multitude of his louynge kindnesses.

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)

¹⁵ Loke downe then from heaue, and beholde the dwellinge place of thy sanctuary & thy glory. How is it, yt thy gelousy, thy strength, the multitude of thy mercies and thy louynge kyndnesse, wyl not be entreated of vs? ¹⁶ Yet art thou or father: For Abraham knoweth vs not, nether is Israel acquanted with vs. But thou LORDE art oure father and redemer, and thy name is euer lastinge.

¹ Thus saieth the LORDE: Heaue is my seate, and the earth is my fote stole. Where shal now the house stonde, yt ye will buylde vnto me? And where shal be the place, yt I wil dwel in?

³¹ Yf ye be the people of the LORDE, then herke vnto his worde: Am I the become a wildernesse vnto the people of Israel? or a londe that hath no light? Wherfore saieth my people then: we are falle of, and we wil come no more vnto the? ³² Doth a mayden forget hir raymet, or a bryde hir stomacher? And doth my people forget me so loge?

⁵ Wilt thou then put me awaye, and cast me of foreuer? Or wilt thou withdrawe thy self clene fro me? Neuertheles, thou speakest soch wordes, but thou art euer doinge worse, and worse.

¹² and therfore go preach these wordes towarde the north, & saye: Thou shrenkinge Israel, turne agayne (saieth the LORDE,) and I will not turne my face from you, for I am merciful, saieth the LORDE, & I will not allwaye beare displeasure agaynst the:

⁶ yf ye wil not oppresse the straunger, the fatherles & the wyddowe: yf ye will not shed innocent bloude in this place: yf ye wil not cleue to strauge goddes to youre owne destruction: ⁷ then wil I let you dwell in this place, yee in the londe that I gaue afore tyme vnto youre fathers for euer. ⁸ But take hede, yee trust in councels, that begyle you and do you no good. ⁹ For when ye haue stolle, murthured, committed aduoutrie, and periury: Whe ye haue offred vnto Baal, folowinge straunge & vnknowne goddes: ¹⁰ Then come ye, and stonde before me in this house (which hath my name geuen vnto it) and saye: Tush, we are absolued quyte, though we haue done all these abhominacions. ¹¹ What? thinke you this house that beareth my name, is a denne of theues? And these thinges are not done priuely, but before myne eyes, saieth the LORDE. ¹² Go to my place in Silo, where vnto I gaue my name afore tyme, and loke well what I dyd to the same place, for the wickednes of my people of Israel. ¹³ And now, though ye haue done all these dedes (saieth the LORDE) and I my self rose vp euer by tymes to warne you and to comon with you: yet wolde ye not heare me: I called, ye wolde not answere. ¹⁴ And therfore euen as I haue done vnto Silo, so wil I do to this house, that my name is geuen vnto, (and that ye put youre trust in) yee vnto the place that I haue geuen to you and youre fathers. ¹⁵ And I shal thrust you out of my sight, as I haue cast out all youre brethren the whole sede of Ephraim.

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

³ Euen so shal the LORDE now also apeare vnto me from farre, and saye: I loue the with an euerlastinge loue, therfore do I sprede my mercy before the.

⁹ They departed from hence in heuynes, but with ioye will I bringe them hither agayne. I will lede them by the ryuers of water in a straight waye, where they shall not stomble: For I will be Israels father, and Epraim shalbe my firstborne.

²⁰ Vpon this complaynte, I thought thus by myself: is not Ephraim my deare sonne? Is he not the childe, with whom I haue had all myrth and pastyme? For sence the tyme that I first comoned with him, I haue him euer in remembraunce: therfore my very herte dryueth me vnto him: gladly and louyngly will I haue mercy vpon him, saieth the LORDE.

³⁴ And from thece forth shall no man teach his neghboure or his brother, and saye: knowe the LORDE: But they shall all knowe me, from the lowest vnto the hyest, saieth the LORDE. For I will forgeue their my?dedes, and wil neuer remembre their synnes eny more.

¹⁸ Thou shewest mercy vpon thousandes, thou recompecest the wickednes of the fathers, in to the besome of the children that come after them.

²⁴ Cosidrest thou not what this people speaketh? Two kynreddes (saye they) had the LORDE chosen, & those same two hath he cast awaye. For so farre is my people come, yt they haue no hope to come together eny more, and to be one people agayne. ²⁵ Therfore thus saieth the LORDE: Yf I haue made no couenaunt with daye & night, and geue no statute vnto heauen and earth: ²⁶ then will I also cast awaye the sede of Dauid my seruaunt: so that I wil take no prynce out of his sede, to rule the posterite of Abraha, Isaac and Iacob. But yet I will turne agayne their captiuyte, and be mercifull vnto them.

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.

²² Namely, that the mercies of the LORDE are not clene gone, & that his louynge kyndnesse ceasseth not.

⁷ In the haue they despised father & mother, in the haue they oppressed the strauger, in the haue they vexed the wyddowe & the fatherlesse.

¹² Yee giftes haue bene receaued in the, to shed bloude. Thou hast taken vsury & encreace, thou hast oppressed thy neghbours by extorcion, and forgotten me, saieth the LORDE God. ¹³ Beholde, I haue smytten my hondes vpo thy couetousnesse, that thou hast vsed, and vpon the bloude which hath bene shed in the. ¹⁴ Is thy herte able to endure it, or maye thy hondes defende them selues, in the tyme that I shall bringe vpon the? Euen I the LORDE that speake it, will bringe it also to passe.

¹⁷ This erande of the watcher, is a comaundemet grounded and sought out in the councel off him, that is most holy: to lerne men for to vnderstonde, that the hyest hath power ouer the kyngdomes off men, ad geueth them, to whom it liketh him, and bryngeth the very outcastes off men ouer them.

²⁵ Thou shalt be cast out fro men, and thy dwellinge shalbe with the beestes of the felde: with grasse shalt thou be fed like an oxe. Thou must be wet with the dew of the heauen: yee seuen yeares shall come and go vpon the, till thou knowe, that the hyest hath power vpon the kyngdomes of men, & geueth them, to whom he lyst.

³⁴ When this tyme was past, I Nabuchodonosor lift vp myne eyes vnto heauen, and myne vnderstondinge was restored vnto me agayne. Then gaue I thankes vnto the hyest. I magnified and praysed him that lyueth for euermore, whose power endureth allwaye, and his kyngdome from one generacion to another: ³⁵ in comparyson off whom, all they that dwell vpon the earth, are to be reputed as nothinge. He handleth acordinge to his will, amoge ye powers of heauen & amonge the inhabitours of the earth: and there is none that maye resiste his honde, or saye: what doest thou?

⁹ I loked till the seates were prepared, ad till the olde aged sat him downe. His clothinge was as white as snowe, and the hayres of his heade like the pure woll. His trone was like the firie flame, and his wheles as the burnynge fyre. 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.

¹⁸ O my God, enclyne thine eare, and herken (at the leest for thine owne sake) open thine eyes: beholde how we be desolated, yee and the cite also, which is called after thy name: For we do not cast oure prayers before the in oure owne rightuousnesse, no: but only in thy greate mercies. ¹⁹ O LORDE, heare: O forgeue LORDE: O LORDE considre, tary not ouer longe: but for thine owne sake do it, O my God: for thy cite and thy people is called after thy name.

²⁴ Lxx. wekes are determed ouer thy people, & ouer thy holy cite: that the wickednesse maye be consumed, that the synne maye haue an ende, that the offence maye be reconciled, and to bringe in euerlastinge rightuousnesse, to fulfill ye visions and the prophetes, and to anoynte the most holy one.

¹⁵ there wil I geue her hir vynyardes agayne, yee and the valley of Achor also, to shewe hir hope & comforte. Then shal she synge there as in the tyme of hir youth, & like as in the daye when she came out of the londe of Egipte.

¹¹ The LORDE shal shewe his voyce before his hoost, for his hoost is greate, stronge & mightie to fulfill his commaundement. This is yt greate and maruelous fearfull daye of the LORDE: And who is able to abyde it?

¹³ rente youre hertes, & not youre clothes. Turne you vnto the LORDE youre God, for he is gracious & mercifull, longe sufferynge & of greate compassion: & redy to pardone wickednes.

² And he prayed vnto the LORDE, and sayde: O LORDE, was not this my sayenge (I praye the) when I was yet in my countre? therfore I haisted rather to fle vnto Tharsis, for I knowe well ynough that thou art a mercifull God, full of compassion, loge sufferinge, and of greate kyndnesse, and repentest when thou shuldest take punyshment.

¹ Wo vnto them, that ymagyn to do harme, and deuyse vngraciousnesse vpon their beddes, to perfourme it in ye cleare daye: for their power is agaynst God. ² When they covet to haue londe, they take it by violence, they robbe men off their houses. Thus they oppresse a ma for his house, & euery man for his heretage. ³ Therfore thus sayeth the LORDE: Beholde, agaynst this housholde haue I deuysed a plage, wherout ye shal not plucke youre neckes: Ye shal nomore go so proudly, for it will be a perlous tyme.

² But ye hate the good, and loue the euell: ye plucke of mens skynnes, and the flesh from their bones: ³ Ye eate the flesh of my people, ad flay of their skynne: ye breake their bones, ye choppe them in peces as it were in to a cauldron, ad as flesh into a pot. ⁴ Now the tyme shall come, that when they call vnto the LORDE, he shall not heare them, but hyde his face from them: because that thorow their owne ymaginacios, they haue dealte so wickedly.

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.

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:

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.

³ The LORDE suffreth longe, he is of greate power, & so innocent, that he leaueth no man fautlesse before him. The LORDE goeth forth in tempest and stormy wether, the cloudes are the dust of his fete. ⁴ Whe he reproueth the see, he dryeth it vp, & turneth all the floudes to drye londe. Basan is desolate, Charmel and the pleasure of Libanus waisteth awaye.

² O Lorde, when I herde speake of ye, I was afrayed. The worke yt thou hast taken in honde, shalt thou perfourme in his tyme, O LORDE: and when thy tyme commeth, thou shalt declare it. In thy very wrath thou thinkest vpon mercy.

¹⁶ But they that feare God, saye thus one to another: The LORDE cosidreth and heareth it. Yee it is before him a memoriall boke written for soch as feare the LORDE, and remembre his name. ¹⁷ And in the daye that I wil make (saieth ye LORDE of hoostes) they shalbe myne owne possession: and I will fauoure them, like as a man fauoureth his owne sonne, that doth him seruyce.

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.

⁹ After thys maner therfore shall ye praye:O oure father which art in heauen, halowed be thy name. ¹⁰ Thy kyngdome come. Thy wyll be fulfilled vpon earth as it is in heauen.

³² After all soch thynges do the heithen seke. For youre heauenly father knoweth, that ye haue nede of all these thynges.

² And lo, they brought vnto him a man sicke of ye palsie, lyinge in his bed. And when Iesus sawe the faith of the, he sayde to the sicke of ye palsie: my sonne, be of good cheare, thy sinnes are forgeue the. ³ And beholde, certeyne of the scribes sayde in them selues: this man blasphemeth. ⁴ But when Iesus sawe their thoughtes, he sayde: wherfore thinke ye euill in youre hertes?. ⁵ Whether ys it easier to saye: thy synnes be forgeue ye, or to saie: arise and walke? ⁶ But that ye maye knowe, that the sonne of man hath power to forgeue sinnes in earth, the sayde he vnto the sicke of ye palsye: arise, take vp thy bed, and go home.

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,

³⁰ and then shal appeare the token of the sonne of man in heaue: and then shal all the kynreds of the earth mourne, and they shal se the sonne of man come in the cloudes of heauen with greate power and glory. 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.

⁵³ Or thinkest thou that I can not praye my father now, to sende me more then twolue legions of angels?

²⁰ and teach them to kepe all thinges, what soeuer I haue commaunded you. And lo, I am with you euery daye vnto the ende of the worlde.

⁵ But when Iesus sawe their faith, he sayde vnto the sicke of the palsye: My sonne, thy synnes are forgeuen the.

¹⁰ But that ye maye knowe, that ye sonne of man hath power to forgeue synnes vpon earth, he sayde vnto the sicke of ye palsye: ¹¹ I saye vnto the, aryse, take vp thy bed, and go home.

³⁰ and thou shalt loue the LORDE thy God with all thy hert, with all thy soule, with all thy mynde, and with all thy strength. This is the chefest commaundement, ³¹ and the seconde is like vnto it: Thou shalt loue thy neghboure as thy self. There is none other greater commaundement then these. ³² And the scrybe sayde vnto him: Master, Verely thou hast sayde right: for there is but one God, & there is none other without him, ³³ and to loue him with all the hert, with all the mynde, with all the soule, and with all the strength, and to loue a mans neghboure as himself, is more then brent sacrifices and all offerynges.

⁶ They were both righteous before God, and walked in all the commaundementes and statutes of the LORDE vnreproueably.

¹⁹ The angell answered, and sayde vnto him: I am Gabriell that stonde before God, and am sent to speake vnto the, and to shewe the these glad tydinges.

⁴⁶ And Mary sayde:My soule magnifieth the LORDE. ⁴⁷ And my sprete reioyseth i God my Sauioure.

⁵⁰ And his mercy endureth thorow out all generacions, vpon them that feare him.

¹³ And straight waye there was by the angell a multitude of heauenly hoostes, which praysed God, and sayde:

¹³ And straight waye there was by the angell a multitude of heauenly hoostes, which praysed God, and sayde: ¹⁴ Glory be vnto God an hye, & peace vpon earth, and vnto men a good wyll.

⁴⁷ Therfore I saye vnto the: Many synnes are forgeuen her, for she hath loued moch. But vnto whom lesse is forgeuen, the same loueth the lesse. ⁴⁸ And he sayde vnto her: Thy synnes are forgeuen the.

¹¹ Yf the sonne axe bred of eny of you that is a father, wyl he geue him a stone therfore? Or yf he axe a fysshe, wyl he for the fish offre him a serpent? ¹² Or yf he axe an egg, wyl he profer him a scorpion?

²¹ Then sayde the sonne vnto him: Father, I haue synned agaynst heaue, and before the, I am nomore worthy to be called thy sonne. ²² But the father sayde vnto his seruauntes: Brynge forth the best garment, and put it vpon him, and geue him a rynge vpon his hande, and shues on his fete,

¹⁵ And one of them wha he sawe that he was clensed, he turned backe agayne, and praysed God with loude voyce, ¹⁶ and fell downe on his face at his fete, and gaue him thankes. And the same was a Samaritane. ¹⁷ Iesus answered and saide: Are there not ten clensed? But where are those nyne? ¹⁸ There were els none founde, that turned agayne, and gaue God the prayse, saue onely this strauger.

²⁴ God is a sprete, and they that worshippe him, must worshippe in sprete and in the trueth.

⁴⁵ Ye shall not thynke that I wyll accuse you before ye father: there is one yt accuseth you, euen Moses, in who ye trust. ⁴⁶ Yf ye beleued Moses, ye shulde beleue me also: For he hath wrytte of me. ⁴⁷ But yf ye beleue not his wrytinges, how shal ye beleue my wordes?

¹⁷ Iesus sayde vnto her: Touche me not, for I am not yet ascended vnto my father. But go thou yi waye vnto my brethre & saye vnto the: I ascede vp vnto my father and yor father: to my God, & yor God.

³⁵ This Moses, whom they refused, and sayde: Who made ye a ruler and iudge ouer vs? him had God sent to be a ruler & delyuerer by the hande of the angell, that appeared vnto him in the busshe. ³⁶ The same broughte them out, and dyd wonders and tokens in Egipte, and in the reed see, and in ye wyldernesse fourtye yeares. 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, ⁴⁰ and sayde vnto Aaron: Make vs goddes to go before vs, for we can not tell what is become of this Moses, yt broughte vs out of the lande of Egipte. ⁴¹ And they made a calfe at the same tyme, and offred sacrifice vnto the ymage, and reioysed in the workes of their awne handes. ⁴² But God turned himselfe, & gaue them vp, so that they worshipped the hooste of heaue, as it is wrytten in the boke of the prophetes: O ye house of Israel, gaue ye me sacrifices and catel those fortye yeares in the wyldernesse? ⁴³ And ye toke vnto you ye tabernacle of Moloch, and the starre of youre god Remphan, ymages which ye youre selues made to worshippe the. And I wil cast you out beyonde Babilon. ⁴⁴ Oure fathers had the tabernacle of witnesse in ye wyldernesse, like as he appoynted them, whan he spake vnto Moses, that he shulde make it (acordinge to the patrone, yt he had sene.) ⁴⁵ which oure fathers also receaued, and brought it with Iosue into the londe that the Heythe had in possession, whom God droue out before the face of oure fathers, vntyll the tyme of Dauid, ⁴⁶ which founde fauoure with God, and desyred that he might fynde a tabernacle for the God of Iacob. ⁴⁷ But Salomon buylte hi an house. ⁴⁸ Howbeit ye Hyest of all dwelleth not in temples that are made with handes: As he sayeth by the prophete: ⁴⁹ Heaue is my seate, and the earth is my fote stole. What house then wil ye buylde vnto me? sayeth the LORDE: Or which is the place of my rest? ⁵⁰ Hath not my hande made all these thinges? 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. ⁵³ Ye receaued the lawe by the mynistracion of angels, and haue not kepte it. ⁵⁴ Whan they herde this, it wente thorow ye hertes of the, and they gnasshed vpo him with their tethe. ⁵⁵ But he beynge full of the holy goost, loked vp towarde heauen, and sawe the glorye of God, and Iesus stodinge on the righte hande of God, ⁵⁶ and sayde: Beholde, I se the heauens open, and the sonne of ma stondinge on ye righte honde of God. ⁵⁷ But they cried out with a loude voyce, & stopped their eares, and rane violently vpon him all at once, ⁵⁸ and thrust him out of the cite, and stoned him. And ye witnesses layed downe their clothes at the fete of a yonge man, which was called Saul. ⁵⁹ And they stoned Steuen, which cryed, & sayde: LORDE Iesu, receaue my sprete. ⁶⁰ And he kneled downe, & cried with a loude voyce: LORDE, laye not this synne to their charge. And wha he had thus spoken, he fell a slepe.

²⁶ Ye men and brethren, ye children of the generacion of Abraham, and they that feare God amonge you, vnto you is ye worde of this saluacion sent.

³² And we also declare vnto you ye promes, which was made vnto oure fathers, ³³ how that God hath fulfylled the same vnto vs their children, in yt he raysed vp Iesus agayne. As it is wrytten in the seconde Psalme: Thou art my sonne, this daye haue I begotten the. ³⁴ But that he hath raysed him vp fro the deed, now nomore to returne to corrupcion, he sayde on this wyse: The grace promysed to Dauid, wyl I faithfully kepe vnto you.

¹⁶ Therfore studye I to haue allwaye a cleare conscience towarde God and towarde men.

¹⁷ for in it ye righteousnes that is of value before God, is opened, which cometh out of faith i to faith.

²¹ But now without addinge to of ye lawe is the righteousnes which avayleth before God, declared, hauynge witnesse of ye lawe and the prophetes: ²² but I speake of ye righteousnes before God, which cometh by the faith on Iesus Christ, vnto all, and vpo all them that beleue.For here is no difference. ²³ For they are all synners, and wate the prayse that God shulde haue of the, ²⁴ but without deseruynge are they made righteous eue by his grace, thorow the redempcion that is done by Christ Iesu, ²⁵ whom God hath set forth for a Mercyseate thorow faith in his bloude, to shewe the righteousnes which avayleth before him, in that he forgeueth the synnes, which were done before vnder the sufferaunce of God, which he suffred,

²⁰ But the lawe in the meane tyme entred, that synne shulde increace. Neuertheles where abundaunce of synne was, there was yet more plenteousnes of grace: ²¹ that, like as synne had reigned vnto death, eue so mighte grace reigne also thorow righteousnes to euerlastinge life by the meanes of Iesus Christ.

²⁸ But sure we are, that all thinges serue for the best vnto them that loue of God, which are called of purpose. ²⁹ For those whom he knewe before, hath he ordeyned also before, yt they shulde be like fashioned vnto ye shappe of his sonne, yt he mighte be the first begotte amoge many brethre. ³⁰ As for those whom he hath ordeyned before, them hath he called also: and whom he hath called, the hath he also made righteous: and whom he hath made righteous, them hath he glorified also.

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,

¹⁵ How shal it be then? Namely thus: I wil praye with ye sprete, and wil praye with the vnderstodinge also: I wil synge psalmes in the sprete, and wil synge spalmes with ye vnderstondinge also.

¹⁶ Therfore are we not weery, but though or outwarde man be corrupte, yet the inwarde is renewed daye by daye.

⁴ acordinge as he had chosen vs by him, or euer the foundacion of the worlde was layed, that we shulde be holy and without blame before him in loue, ⁵ & ordeyned vs before, to receaue vs as children thorow Iesus Christ, acordinge to the pleasure of his will, ⁶ vnto the prayse of the glory of his grace, wherby he hath made vs accepted in the Beloued, ⁷ in whom we haue redempcion thorow his bloude (namely) the forgeuenes of synnes, acordynge to ye riches of his grace,

⁷ in whom we haue redempcion thorow his bloude (namely) the forgeuenes of synnes, acordynge to ye riches of his grace, ⁸ which he hath shed vpon vs abundauntly in all wyssdome and prudece:

²¹ aboue all rule, power, and mighte, and dominacio, and aboue all that maye be named, not onely in this worlde, but also in ye worlde to come. ²² And hath put all thinges vnder his fete, and hath made him aboue all thinges the heade of the cogregacion,

⁴ But God which is riche in mercy thorow his greate loue wherwith he loued vs ⁵ eue wha we were deed in synnes, hath quyckened vs in Christ ( for by grace are ye saued) ⁶ and hath raysed vs vp with him, and set vs with him in heauely thinges thorow Christ Iesus, ⁷ yt in tymes to come he mighte shewe the exceadinge riches of his grace, in kyndnesse to vs warde in Christ Iesu.

¹¹ Wherfore remebre, that ye (which afore tyme were Gentyles after the flesh, and were called vn circumcision, of the that are called circumcision after the flesh, which circumcision is made with the hande) 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.

¹⁸ maye be able to coprehende with all sayntes, what is the bredth, and the length, and the deepth, and the heyth: ¹⁹ and to knowe the loue of Christ, which loue yet passeth all knowlege: that ye maye be fylled with all maner of fulnesse of God.

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

⁹ Therfore hath God also exalted him, and geuen him a name, which is aboue all names, ¹⁰ that in the name of Iesus euery kne shulde bowe, both of thinges in heauen of thinges vpo earth, and of thinges vnder the earth,

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.

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.

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.

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,

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 Of the thinges which we haue spoken, this is the pyth: We haue soch an hye prest, that is set on ye righte hande of the seate of maiestie in heaue:

⁶ But now hath he optayned a more excellent office, in as moch as he is the mediatour of a better Testament, which was made for better promyses. ⁷ For yf that first (Testament) had bene fautles, then shulde no place haue bene soughte for the secode. ⁸ For in rebukynge the he sayeth: Beholde, the dayes wyll come (sayeth the LORDE) that I wyl fynish vpo the house of Israel, and vpon the house off Iuda, ⁹ a new Testament: not as the Testament which I made with their fathers, in that daye whan I toke them by the handes, to lede them out of the londe of Egipte: for they contynued not in my Testament, and I regarded them not, sayeth the LORDE. 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: ¹¹ and they shal not teach euery ma his neghboure, and euery man his brother, sayenge: knowe ye LORDE, for they shal knowe me from the leest to the most of them: ¹² for I wil be mercifull ouer their vnrighteousnesses: And on their synnes & on their iniquyties wyl I not thynke enymore. ¹³ In that he sayeth: A new, he weereth out ye olde. Now yt which is worne out and waxed olde, is ready to vanish awaye

² Els shulde they haue ceassed to haue bene offred, because that the offerers once pourged, shulde haue had nomore conscience of synnes.

⁵ and haue forgotten the consolacion, which speaketh vnto you as vnto children: My sonne, despyse not the chastenynge off the LORDE, nether faynte whan thou art rebuked of him: ⁶ for who the LORDE loueth, him he chasteneth, yee and he scourgeth euery sonne that he receaueth. ⁷ Yf ye endure chastenynge, God offereth himselfe vnto you as vnto sonnes. What sonne is that, whom the father chasteneth not? ⁸ Yf ye be not vnder correccion (wherof all are partakers) then are ye bastardes and not sonnes. ⁹ Morouer seyenge we haue had fathers off oure flesh which corrected vs, & we gaue them reuerence, shulde we not then moch rather be in subieccion vnto ye father of spirituall giftes, yt we mighte lyue? ¹⁰ And they verely for a few dayes nurtred vs after their awne pleasure: but he lerneth vs vnto yt which is profitable, that we mighte receaue of his holynes. ¹¹ No maner chastisynge for the present tyme semeth to be ioyous, but greuous: neuertheles afterwarde it bringeth the quyete frute of righteousnes, vnto them which are exercysed therby.

¹⁰ and the rich, in yt he is made lowe. For eue as the flor of ye grasse shal he vanyshe awaye. 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.

⁶ But ye haue despised the poore. Are not the rych they which oppresse you: & they which drawe you before iudges?

¹ Goo to now ye riche men. Wepe, and howle on yor wretchednes that shal come vpon you. ² Youre riches is corrupte, youre garmetes are motheaten. ³ Youre golde & yor siluer are cancred, & the rust of them shalbe a witnes vnto you, & shal eate youre flesshe, as it were fyre. Ye haue heaped treasure togedder in yor last dayes: ⁴ Beholde, the hyre of the labourers which haue reped downe youre feldes (which hyer is of you kept backe by fraude) cryeth: and the cryes of the which haue reped, are entred in to the eares of the LORDE Sabaoth. ⁵ Ye haue liued in pleasure on the earth and in wantannes. Ye haue norysshed youre hertes, as in a daye of slaughter. ⁶ Ye haue codempned and haue killed the iust, and he hath not resisted you.

¹¹ Beholde we counte them happy which endure. Ye haue hearde of ye paciece of Iob, and haue knowen what ende the LORDE made. For the LORDE is very pitifull and mercifull.

¹⁵ and ye prayer of faith shal saue the sicke, and the LORDE shal rayse him vp: and yf he haue comitted synnes, they shalbe forgeuen him.

²⁴ For all flesh is as grasse, and all the glory of man is as the floure of grasse. The grasse withereth, & the floure falleth awaye

²² which is on the righte hande of God, and is gone in to heaue, angels, power and mighte subdued vnto him.

⁴ & whan the chefe shepherde shal appeare, ye shal receaue the vncorruptible crowne of glory.

¹ Symon Peter a seruaut and an Apostle of Iesus Christ.Vnto the which haue optayned like faith with vs in the righteousnes that commeth of oure God, and Sauioure Iesus Christ.

⁷ But yf we walke in lighte, euen as he is in lighte, then haue we fellishippe together, and the bloude of Iesus Christ his sonne clenseth vs from all synne.

⁸ And the foure beestes had eche one off them vj. wynges aboute him, and they were full of eyes with in. And they had no rest daye nether night, sayenge: holy, holy, holy, is the LORDE God almyghty, which was, and is, and is to come.

⁹ and they songe a newe songe saynge: thou art worthy to take the boke & to ope the seales therof: for thou wast kylled, and hast redemed vs by thy bloud, out of all kynreddes, and toges, and people, and nacions,

¹² sayenge with a loude voyce: Worthy is the lambe that was killed, to receaue power, and riches & wissdome, and strength, and honoure and glory, and blessynge. ¹³ And all creatures, which are in heaue, & on the earth, & vnder the earth, & in the see, & all yt are in the, herd I sayenge: blessinge, honoure, glory, & power, be vnto him, yt sytteth vpo the seate, and vnto the labe for euermore. ¹⁴ And the foure beestes saide: Ame. And ye xxiiij. elders fell vpon their faces, and worshipped him that lyueth for euermore.

⁵ And a voice came out of the seate, sayenge: prayse or LORDE God all ye that are his seruautes, & ye that feare him both small and greate. ⁶ And I herde the voyce of moch people, eue as ye voyce of many waters, & as ye voyce of stronge thondrynges, sayenge: Alleluia, for God omnipotent raigneth.

⁸ I am Ihon, which sawe these thinges and herde them. And whe I had herde and sene the, I fell downe to worshippe before the fete of the angell which shewed me these thinges. ⁹ And he saide vnto me: se thou do it not, for I am thy felowe seruaunt and the felowe seruaut of thy brethren the prophetes, and of them, which kepe the sayenges of this boke. Worshippe God.
