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 I saide: I will knowlege myne offence, and accuse my self vnto the LORDE, and so thou forgauest me the wickednesse of my synne. ⁷ Sela. For this shal euery saynte make his prayer vnto the in due season, therfore shall not the greate water floudes come nye him. ⁸ Thou art my defence in the trouble that is come aboute me, O copasse thou me aboute also with the ioye of delyueraunce. ⁹ Sela. I wil enforme the, and shewe the the waye wherin thou shalt go: I wil fasten myne eyes vpon the. ¹⁰ Be not ye now like horses & mooles, which haue no vnderstondinge. Whose mouthes thou must holde with bytt & brydle, yf they wil not obeie the. ¹¹ Greate plages shall ye vngodly haue, but who so putteth his trust in the LORDE, mercy shall compasse him on euery syde. Be glad (o ye rightuous) and reioyse in the LORDE, be ioyfull all ye that are true of herte.

⁸ And they herde the voyce of the LORDE God, which walked in the garden in the coole of the daye.

²⁷ But wha she had made an ende of mournynge, Dauid sent, and caused her be fetched vnto his palace, and she became his wyfe, and bare him a sonne. Neuertheles this dede yt Dauid dyd, displeased the LORDE.

⁹ Wherfore hast thou then despysed the worde of the LORDE, to do soch euell in his sighte? Vrias the Hethite hast thou slayne with the swerde: His wife hast thou taken to be thy wyfe, but him hast thou slayne with ye swerde of the children of Ammon.

So after this was God at one with the londe.

¹ And Dauid spake the wordes of this songe before the LORDE, what tyme as the LORDE had delyuered him fro the hande of all his enemies, and from the hande of Saul,

¹⁷ My bones are pearsed thorow in ye night season, & my synewes take no rest.

³⁰ My skynne vpo me is turned to black, & my bones are bret wt heate:

³³ Haue I euer done eny wicked dede where thorow I shamed my self before men: Or eny abhominacion, yt I was fayne to hyde it?

⁷ Therfore, thou nedest not be afrayed of me, nether nedest thou to feare, that my auctorite shal be to heuy for the.

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.

¹¹ Which geueth vs more vnderstodinge then he doth the beastes of the earth, and teacheth vs more then the foules off heaue.

¹ O blessed is ye man, yt goeth not in the councell of ye vngodly: yt abydeth not in the waye off synners, & sytteth not in ye seate of the scornefull. ² But delyteth in the lawe of ye LORDE, & exercyseth himself in his lawe both daye and night.

¹² Kysse the sonne, lest the LORDE be angrie, and so ye perish from the right waye. For his wrath shalbe kindled shortly: blessed are all they that put their trust in him.

³ Sela Knowe this, that the LORDE dealeth maruelously with his saynte: and when I call vpon the LORDE, he heareth me.

¹¹ Agayne, let all them that put their trust in the, reioyse: yee let them euer be geuynge of thankes, because thou defendest them: that they which loue thy name, maye be ioyfull in the. ¹² For thou LORDE geuest thy blessinge vnto the rightuous: and with thy fauorable kyndnes thou defendest him, as with a shylde.

² Haue mercy vpon me (o LORDE) for I am weake: o LORDE heale me, for all my bones are vexed.

¹⁰ thou rightuous God, yt triest the very hertes & the reynes.

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

⁴ But they yt runne after another, shall haue greate trouble.

⁵ Yet in my trouble I called vpo the LORDE, & coplayned vnto my God.

¹ My God, my God: why hast thou forsaken me? ye wordes of my coplaynte are farre fro my health.

¹⁵ My strength is dried vp like a potsherde, my tunge cleueth to my goomes, and thou hast brought me in to the dust of death.

⁸ O how fredly & rightuous is the LORDE, therfore wil he teach synners in the waye. ⁹ He ledeth the symple a right, and soch as be meke the lerneth he his wayes. ¹⁰ All the wayes of the LORDE are very mercy & faithfulnesse, vnto soch as kepe his testament and couenaunt.

⁵ For in the tyme of trouble he hath hyd me in his tabernacle, yee in the secrete place of his dwellinge hath he kepte and set me vp vpon a rocke of stone.

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.

⁹ Thou hast not delyuered me ouer in to the hodes of the enemie, but hast set my fete in a large rowme. ¹⁰ Haue mercy vpon me, O LORDE, for I am in trouble, myne eye is consumed for very heuynesse, yee my soule and my body.

²⁰ Let the lyenge lippes be put to sylence, which cruelly, di?danedly & despitefully speake agaynst the rightuous.

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

¹⁰ Be not ye now like horses & mooles, which haue no vnderstondinge. Whose mouthes thou must holde with bytt & brydle, yf they wil not obeie the.

¹ Reioyse in ye LORDE (o ye rightuous) for it becommeth well the iust to be thankfull.

¹⁸ Beholde, the eye of the LORDE loketh vnto them that feare him, & put their trust in his mercy.

² My soule shall make hir boast in the LORDE: the poore oppressed shal heare therof, and be glad. ³ O prayse ye LORDE with me, and let vs magnifie his name together. ⁴ I sought the LORDE, and he herde me, yee he delyuered me out of all my feare. ⁵ They that haue an eye vnto him, shalbe lightened, & their faces shall not be ashamed.

⁸ O taist and se how frendly the LORDE is, blessed is the man yt trusteth in him.

¹¹ Come hither (o ye children) herken vnto me, I wil teach you the feare of the LORDE.

¹⁹ Greate are ye troubles of the rightuous, but the LORDE delyuereth them out of all. ²⁰ He kepeth all their bones, so yt not one of them is broken. ²¹ But mi?fortune shal slaye the vngodly, and they that hate ye rightuous shal be giltie.

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.

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. ⁸ I am feble and sore smytte, I roare for the very disquietnes of my hert.

⁸ I am feble and sore smytte, I roare for the very disquietnes of my hert.

¹⁸ For I cofesse my wickednesse, & my synne greueth me.

¹⁰ I kepe sylece, and open not my mouth, for thou hast done it. Turne thy plages awaye fro me, for I am cosumed thorow the feare of thy hade. ¹¹ When thou punyshest man for synne, thou chastenest him: so that his beutie consumeth awaye, like as it were a mothe. O how vayne are all men?

³ He hath put a new songe in my mouth, euen a thankesgeuynge vnto oure God. Many men seynge this, shal feare the LORDE, & put their trust in him. ⁴ Blessed is the man that setteth his hope in the LORDE, and turneth not vnto the proude, & to soch as go aboute with lies.

¹ Like as the hert desyreth the water brokes, so longeth my soule after the, o God. My soule is a thurste for God, yee eue for the lyuynge God: wha shal I come, & beholde the face of God?

⁷ The LORDE hath promised his louynge kyndnesse daylie, therfore wil I prayse him in the night season, and make my prayer vnto ye God of my life.

¹ My hert is dytinge of a good matter, I speake of that, which I haue made of the kynge:

³ For I knowlege my fautes, and my synne is euer before me. ⁴ Agaynst the only, agaynst the haue I synned, and done euell in thy sight: that thou mightest be iustified in thy saynges, and shuldest ouercome when thou art iudged. ⁵ Beholde, I was borne in wickednesse, and in synne hath my mother conceaued me.

⁸ Oh let me heare of ioye and gladnesse, that the bones which thou hast broken, maye reioyse.

¹² O geue me the comforte of thy helpe agayne, and stablish me with thy fre sprete. ¹³ Then shal I teach thy wayes vnto the wicked, that synners maye be conuerted vnto the.

¹ Why boastest thou thy self (thou Tyraunt) that thou canst do myschefe?

¹ The foolish bodies saye in their hertes: Tush, there is no God. Corrupte are they, and become abhominable in their wickednesses: there is not one, that doth good.

¹ Heare my prayer (o God) and hyde not thy self fro my peticion. Take hede vnto me and heare me, how piteously I mourne & coplayne.

¹⁰ The rightuous shal reioyse in the LORDE, and put his trust in him: and all they yt are true off herte, shalbe glad therof.

³ But the rightuous shal be glad & reioyse before God, they shalbe mery & ioyful.

¹ Helpe me (o God) for the waters are come in eue vnto my soule. ² I sticke fast in the depe myre, where no grounde is: I am come into depe waters, and the floudes wil drowne me.

¹³ But LORDE, I made my prayer vnto the in an acceptable tyme: ¹⁴ Heare me (o God) with thy greate mercy & sure helpe. ¹⁵ Take me out of the myre, yt I syncke not: Oh let me be delyuered fro the yt hate me, & out of ye depe waters.

¹² For the LORDE God is a light and defence, the LORDE wil geue grace & worshipe, and no good thinge shal he witholde from them, that lyue a godly life. O LORDE God of hoostes, blessed is the man, yt putteth his trust in the.

² Thou diddest forgeue the offence of thy people, and couerdest all their synnes.

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

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

¹⁵ Rightuousnes and equite is the habitacion of thy seate, mercy and trueth go before thy face.

⁶ In the mornynge it is grene and groweth vp, but in the euenynge it is cutt downe and wythered. ⁷ For we consume awaye in thy displeasure, and are afrayed at thy wrothfull indignacion.

¹ Who so dwelleth vnder ye defence of the most hyest, & abydeth vnder ye shadowe of ye allmightie:

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

¹² Reioyse therfore in the LORDE, ye rightuous: and geue thankes for a remembraunce of his holynesse.

¹ O synge vnto the LORDE a new songe, for he hath done maruelous thinges.

⁴ He hath remembred his mercy and trueth towarde the house of Israel: so that all the endes of the worlde se the sauynge health of oure God.

³ For my dayes are consumed awaye like smoke, & my bones are brent vp as it were a fyre brande.

³ For my dayes are consumed awaye like smoke, & my bones are brent vp as it were a fyre brande. ⁴ My hert is smytte downe and wythered like grasse, so that I forget to eate my bred.

⁴ My hert is smytte downe and wythered like grasse, so that I forget to eate my bred. ⁵ For the voyce of my gronynge, my bone wil scarse cleue to my flesh.

³ Which forgeueth all thy synnes, and healeth all thy infirmities.

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

³ Blessed are they that allwaye kepe iudgment, and do rightuousnes.

¹ Blessed are those yt be vndefiled in the waye: which walke in the lawe of ye LORDE. ² Blessed are they that kepe his testimonies, & seke him with their whole herte.

¹¹⁴ Thou art my defence & shylde, my trust is in thy worde.

⁴ The depe waters of the proude had gone eue vnto oure soule. ⁵ But praysed be ye LORDE, which hath not geuen vs ouer for a pray vnto their teth.

⁴ Do wel (o LORDE) vnto those that be good and true of herte.

¹ Blessed are all they that feare the LORDE, & walke in his wayes.

¹¹ A man full of wordes shal not prospere vpon earth: a malicious & wicked person shal be hunted awaye and destroyed.

⁹ Delyuer me (o LORDE) fro myne enemies, for I resorte vnto the.

⁷ Sende downe thine hande from aboue, delyuer me and take me out of ye greate waters, from the hande of straunge childre.

⁵ Which made heauen and earth, ye see and all that therin is, which kepeth his promise for euer

¹¹ But the LORDES delyte is in them that feare him, and put their trust in his mercy.

²⁸ Then shal they call vpo me, but I wil not heare: they shal seke me early, but they shal not fynde me:

¹ My sonne, forget not my lawe, but se yt thine hert kepe my comaundemetes.

⁵ Put thy trust in ye LORDE with all thine herte, and leane not vnto thine owne vnderstondinge. ⁶ In all thy wayes haue respecte vnto him, and he shal ordre thy goinges.

¹ Heare (O ye children) the fatherly exortacio, & take good hede, that ye maye lerne wy?dome. ² Yee I shal geue you a good rewarde, yf ye wil not forsake my lawe. ³ For when I myself was my fathers deare sonne, and tenderly beloued of my mother, ⁴ he taught me also, sayenge: let thine herte receaue my wordes, kepe my commaundementes, and thou shalt lyue. ⁵ Get the wy?dome, get the vnderstondinge, forget not ye wordes of my mouth, & shreke not from them. ⁶ Forsake her not, and she shal preserue the: loue her, and she shal kepe the. ⁷ The chefe poynte of wy?dome is, that thou be wyllynge to opteyne wy?dome, and before all thy goodes to get the vnderstondynge. ⁸ Make moch of her, and she shal promote the: Yee yf thou embracest her, she shal brynge the vnto honoure. ⁹ She shal make the a gracious heade, and garnish the with ye crowne of glory. ¹⁰ Heare my sonne, and receaue my wordes, that the yeares of thy life maye be many. ¹¹ I wil shewe the ye waye of wy?dome, and lede the in the right pathes. ¹² So that yf thou goest therin, there shal no straytnesse hynder the: and when thou runnest, thou shalt not fall. ¹³ Take fast holde of doctryne, let her not go: kepe her, for she is thy life.

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

²¹ Myschefe foloweth vpon synners, but the rightuous shal haue a good rewarde.

²⁰ He yt handleth a matter wysely, opteyneth good: & blessed is he, yt putteth his trust in ye LORDE.

³ Vnto the horse belongeth a whyppe, to the Asse a brydle, and a rodde to the fooles backe.

¹³ He that hydeth his synnes, shall not prospere: but who so knowlegeth them and forsaketh them, shall haue mercy.

²⁰ Soch is the waye also of a wyfe yt breaketh wedlocke, which wypeth hir mouth like as wha she hath eate, & sayeth: As for me, I haue done no harme.

¹² But though an euell personne offende an hundreth tymes, and haue a longe life: yet am I sure, that it shal go well with the that feare God, because they haue him before their eyes.

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?

¹¹ But wo be to ye vngodly and vnrightuous for they shalbe rewarded after their workes.

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,

² When thou wentest in the water, I was by the, that the stroge floudes shulde not pluck ye awaye: When thou walkest in the fyre, it shal not burne ye, and the flame shall not kindle vpon the.

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.

²² As for thyne offences, I dryue them awaye like the cloudes, and thy synnes as the myst. Turne ye agayne vnto me, & I will delyuer ye.

⁸ And thus saieth the LORDE: In the tyme apoynted wil I be present with the. And in the houre of health wil I helpe the, & delyuer the. I wil make the a pledge for ye people, so yt thou shalt helpe vp the earth agayne, and chalenge agayne the scatred heretages:

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

²⁰ Thy sonnes lie comfortles at ye heade of euery strete like a take venyson, & are ful of ye terrible wrath of ye LORDE, & punyshmet of thy God.

⁶ Seke the LORDE while he maye be founde, call vpo him while he is nye.

¹⁷ I am wroth wt hi for his couetousnes & lust, I smyte him, I hyde me, and am angrie, whe he turneth himself, and foloweth ye bywaye of his owne hert.

²¹ Eueso ye wicked haue no peace, saieth my God.

¹¹ We roare all like Beeres, & mourne stil like doues. We loke for equite, but there is none: for health, but it is farre fro vs.

²⁴ And it shalbe, that or euer they call, I shal answere them. Whyle they are yet but thinkinge how to speake, I shal heare them.

²³ Saye not now: I am not vnclene, and I haue not folowed the goddes. Loke vpo thyne owne waies in the woddes, valleis & dennes: so shalt thou knowe, what thou hast done. Thou art like a swift Dromedary, that goeth easely his waye:

³⁵ Yet darrest thou saye: I am giltlesse: Tush, his wrath can not come vpo me. Beholde, I wil reason with ye, because thou darrest saye: I haue not offended.

¹³ but on this condicion, that thou knowe thy greate blasphemy: Namely, that thou hast vnfaithfully forsaken the LORDE thy God, & hast made thy silf partaker of straunge goddes vnder all grene trees, but hast had no wil to heare my voyce, saieth the LORDE.

²² Neuertheles this shall come vpon them, because my people is become foolish, and hath vterly no vnderstondinge. They are the children of foolishnes, and without eny discrecio. To do euell, they haue witt ynough: but to do well, they haue no wi?dome.

⁶ For I haue loked, and considered: but there is no ma, that speaketh a good worde: there is no man, that taketh repetaunce for his synne, that will so moch as saye: wherfore haue I done this? But euery man (as soone as he is turned backe) runneth forth still, like a wilde horse in a battayl. ⁷ The Storke knoweth his apoynted tyme, the Turtledoue, ye Swalow and the Crane, cosidre the tyme of their trauayle: but my people will not knowe the tyme of the punyshment of the LORDE.

⁷ O Blissed is the man, that putteth his trust in the LORDE, and whose hope the LORDE is himself. ⁸ For he shalbe as a tre, that is planted by the water syde: which spredeth out the rote vnto moystnesse, whom the heate can not harme, when it commeth, but his leaues are grene. And though there growe but litle frute because off drouth, yet is he not carefull, but he neuer leaueth of to bringe forth frute.

¹⁸ Morouer I herde Ephraim, (that was led awaye captyue) complayne on this maner: O LORDE, thou hast correcte me, and thy chastenynge haue I receaued, as an vntamed calfe. Conuerte thou me, and I shalbe conuerted, for thou art my LORDE God.

¹⁸ Morouer I herde Ephraim, (that was led awaye captyue) complayne on this maner: O LORDE, thou hast correcte me, and thy chastenynge haue I receaued, as an vntamed calfe. Conuerte thou me, and I shalbe conuerted, for thou art my LORDE God. ¹⁹ Yee as soone as thou turnest me, I shall refourme my self: and when I vnderstonde, I shall smyte vpon my thee. For verely I haue comitted shamefull thinges: O let my youth beare this reprofe and confucion. 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.

²⁶ but commaunded Ieramyhel the sonne off Amalech, Sarias the sonne of Esriel and Selamia ye sonne of Abdiel, to laye hondes vpon Baruch the scrybe, and vpon Ieremy the prophet: but the LORDE kepte them out of sight.

³ Iuda is taken presoner, because she was defyled: & for seruynge so many straunge goddes, she dwelleth now amonge the Heithen. She fyndeth no rest, all they that persecuted her, toke her, and so she dwelleth amonge hir enemies.

⁴ My flesh & my skynne hath he made olde, and my bones hath he brussed.

⁸ Though I crie & call piteously, yet heareth he not my prayer.

⁸ But now their faces are very black: In so moch, that thou shuldest not knowe them in the stretes. Their skynne cleueth to their bones, It is wythered, and become like a drye stock.

¹⁰ Oure skynne is as it had bene brent in an ouen, for very sore honger.

¹ In their aduersite they shall seke me, and saye: come, let vs turne agayne to the LORDE: for he hath smytten vs, and he shal heale vs:

¹⁴ They call not vpon me with their hartes, but lye youlinge vpon their beddes. Where as they come together, it is but for meate & drincke, and me will they not obeye.

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.

⁷ What art thou (thou greate mountayne) before Zorobabel? thou must be made eauen. And he shal bringe vp the first stone, so that men shall crie vnto him: good lucke, good lucke.

⁸ Shulde a man vse falsede and disceate with God, as ye vse falsede and disceate with me? Yet ye saye: wherin vse we disceate with the? In Tythes and heaue offerynges.

³ Blessed are the poore in sprete: for theirs is the kyngdome of heue. ⁴ Blessed are they that mourne: for they shalbe coforted. ⁵ Blessed are the meke: for they shall inheret the erth. ⁶ Blessed are they which honger & thyrst for rightewesnes: for they shalbe filled. ⁷ Blessed are the mercifull: for they shall obteyne mercy. ⁸ Blessed are the pure in herte: for they shall se God. ⁹ Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shalbe called the chyldren of God. ¹⁰ Blessed are they which suffre persecucion for rightwesnes sake: for theirs is the kyngdome of heuen. ¹¹ Blessed are ye when men reuyle you, and persecute you, and falsly say all manner of yuell saynges against you for my sake. ¹² Reioyce and be glad, for greate is youre rewarde in heue.For so persecuted they the Prophetes which were before youre dayes.

²⁴ Whosoeuer therfore heareth of me these sayinges, and doeth the same, I wyll lycke hym vnto a wyse man, which buylt hys house vpon a rocke: ²⁵ Now whan abundaunce of rayne descended, and the wyndes blewe and bet vpon that same house, it fel not, because it was grounded on the rocke. ²⁶ And who soeuer heareth of me these sayinges, & doth the not, shalbe lyckened vnto a folysh ma, which buylt his housse apon the sonde: ²⁷ Now whan abudaunce of rayne desceded, & the wyndes blewe, & bet vpon yt housse, it fell, and great was the fall of it.

²⁹ Take my yock vpon you, and lerne of me, for I am meke and lowlye of hert, & ye shal fynde rest vnto youre soules:

¹⁷ And Iesus answered, & saide vnto hi: Blessed art thou Symo ye sonne of Ionas, for flesh & bloude hath not opened yt vnto the, but my father yt is in heaue.

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.

²⁸ But he sayde: Yee blessed are they that heare the worde of God, and kepe it.

¹⁵ and wente his waye, and claue to a cytesin of that same countre, which sent him in to his felde, to kepe swyne. ¹⁶ And he wolde fayne haue fylled his bely with the coddes, that the swyne ate. And no man gaue him them. ¹⁷ Then came he to him self, and sayde: How many hyred seruauntes hath my father, which haue bred ynough, and I perish of honger? ¹⁸ I wil get vp, and go to my father, and saye vnto him: Father, I haue synned agaynst heauen and before the, ¹⁹ and am nomore worthy to be called thy sonne, make me as one of thy hyred seruauntes. ²⁰ And he gat him vp, & came vnto his father. But whan he was yet a greate waye of, his father sawe him, and had copassion, and ranne, and fell aboute his neck, and kyssed him. 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, ²³ and brynge hither a fed calfe, and kyll it, lat vs eate and be mery:

¹⁵ And he sayde vnto them: Ye are they that iustifie yor selues before men, but God knoweth youre hertes. For yt which is hye amonge men, is an abhominacion before God.

⁴² and sayde: Yf thou knewest what were for yi peace, thou shuldest remebre it euen in this present daye of thine. But now is it hyd from thine eyes. ⁴³ For the tyme shal come vpon the, that thine enimies shal cast vp a bake aboute the, and aboute thy children with the, and besege ye, and kepe the in on euery syde, ⁴⁴ and make the eauen with the grounde, and shal not leaue in the one stone vpon another, because thou hast not knowne ye tyme, wherin thou hast bene visited.

⁴⁷ Iesus sawe Nathanael comynge to him, and sayde of him: Beholde, a righte Israelite, in whom is no gyle.

³⁴ Ye shal seke me, & not fynde me: and where I am, thither can ye not come.

³⁸ Be it knowne vnto you therfore ye men and brethre, yt thorow this man is preached vnto you ye forgeuenesse of synnes, ³⁹ and fro all ye thinges, wherby ye mighte not be iustifyed in the lawe of Moses.

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

⁶ Euen as Dauid sayeth also, that blessednes is onely that mans, vnto who God counteth righteousnes without addinge to of workes, where he sayeth: 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.

¹¹ Not onely that, but we reioyse also in God thorow oure LORDE Iesus Christ, by whom we haue now receaued the attonement.

¹³ euen so wente death also ouer all men, in so moch as they all haue synned. For synne was in ye worlde vnto the lawe: but where no lawe is, there is not synne regarded.

⁴ which comforteth vs in all oure trouble: in so moch yt we are able to comforte them that are in eny maner of trouble, with the same comforte wher with we oure selues are comforted of God.

¹² For oure reioysinge is this, euen the testimony of oure conscience, that in synglenes & godly purenesse, not in fleshlye wyssdome, but in the grace of God, we haue had oure conuersacion in the worlde, but most of all with you.

¹⁹ For God was in Christ, and reconcyled the worlde vnto himselfe, and counted not ther synnes vnto them, and amonge vs hath he set vp the worde of ye attonemet. ²⁰ Now the are we messaungers in the rowme of Christ, euen as though God exhorted by vs. We beseke you now therfore in Christes steade, that ye be at one with God: ²¹ for he hath made him which knewe no synne, to be synne for vs, yt we by his meanes shulde be that righteousnes, which before God is alowed.

² For he sayeth: I haue herde the in the tyme accepted, and in the daye of saluacion haue I succoured the. Beholde, now is the accepted tyme, now is the daye of saluacion.

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.

³² But be ye curteous one to another, mercifull, and forgeue one another, eue as God hath forgeuen you in Christ.

¹ Morover my brethren, reioyce in the LORDE. Where as I wryte euer one thinge vnto you, it greueth me not, and maketh you the surer.

³ for we are the circumcision, euen we that serue God in the sprete, and reioyce in Christ Iesu, and haue no confidence in the flesh,

⁴ Reioyce in the LORDE allwaye, & agayne I saye, Reioyse.

³ For ye are deed, and youre life is hyd with Christ in God.

¹⁶ Notwithstondynge for this cause optayned I mercy, that Iesus Christ mighte pryncipally shewe in me all longe pacience, to the ensample of them which shulde beleue in him vnto eternall life.

¹⁰ For Couetousnes is the rote of all euell, which whyle some lusted after, they erred from the faith, and tangled them selues with many sorowes.

¹² and teacheth vs, that we shulde denye vngodlynes, and wordly lustes: and that we shulde lyue discretly, righteously, and godly in this worlde,

³ Beholde, we put bittes into the horses mouthes yt they shulde obeye vs, and we turne aboute all the body.

⁷ Submit youre selues to God, and resist the deuell, & he wil flye fro you. ⁸ Drawe nye to God & he wil drawe nye to you. Clense yor hondes ye synners, and pourge youre hertes ye wauerynge mynded. ⁹ Suffre affliccions: sorowe ye and wepe. Let youre laughter be turned to mornynge, and youre ioye to heuynes. ¹⁰ Cast downe youre selues before the LORDE, and he shal lift you vp.

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

⁸ Yf we saye that we haue no synne, we disceaue oure selues, and the trueth is not in vs. ⁹ But yf we knowlege oure synnes, he is faithfull and iust to forgeue vs oure synnes, & to clense vs from all vnrighteousnes. ¹⁰ Yf we saye, we haue not synned, we make him a lyar, and his worde is not in vs.

¹⁰ and cryed with a loude voyce, sayenge: saluacion be asscribed to him yt sytteth vpon the seate of oure God, and vnto the lambe.

¹⁵ And the dragon cast out of his mouth water after the woma, as it had bene a ryuer, that he might cause her to be caught of ye floud. ¹⁶ And the earth holpe the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swalowed vp the ryuer which the dragon cast out of his mouth.

⁵ and in their mouthes was founde no gyle. For they are withoute spot before the trone of God.

² And I sawe as it were a glassye see, mingled with fyre, and them that had gotten victory of the beest, and of his ymage, and of his marke, and of the nombre of his name, stonde on the glassye see, hauinge ye harpes of God: ³ and they songe the songe of Moses the seruaunt of God, and the songe of the lambe, saynge: Greate and maruellous are thy workes LORDE God almyghty, iust and true are thy wayes, thou kynge of sayntes.

¹⁴ Blessed are they that do his commaundementes, that their power maye be in the tree of life, and maye entre in thorow the gates in to the cite.
