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. ² Out of Sion apeareth the glorious beutie of God. ³ Oure God shal come, and not kepe sylence: there goeth before him a consumynge fyre, and a mightie tempest rounde aboute him. ⁴ He shal call the heauens from aboue, and the earth, that he maye iudge his people. ⁵ Gather my sayntes together vnto me, those yt set more by the couenaunt then by eny offeringe. ⁶ And the heauens shal declare his rightuousnesse, for God is iudge himself. ⁷ Sela. Heare, o my people: let me speake, let me testifie amonge you, o Israel: I am God, euen thy God. 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. ¹⁰ For all the beestes of the felde are myne, and thousandes of catell vpon the hilles. ¹¹ I knowe all the foules vpon the mountaynes, and the wilde beastes of the felde are in my sight. ¹² Yf I be hongrie, I wil not tell the: for ye whole worlde is myne, and all that therin is. ¹³ Thynkest thou, that I wil eate the flesh of oxen, or drynke the bloude of goates? ¹⁴ Offre vnto God prayse and thankesgeuynge, and paye thy vowes vnto the most hyest. ¹⁵ And call vpo me in the tyme of trouble, so wil I heare the, that thou shalt thanke me. ¹⁶ But vnto the vngodly sayeth God: Why doest thou preach my lawes, and takest my couenaunt in thy mouth? ¹⁷ Where as thou hatest to be refourmed, and castest my wordes behynde the? ¹⁸ Yf thou seist a thefe, thou runnest with him, and art partaker with the aduouterers. ¹⁹ Thou lettest yi mouth speake wickednesse, & thy tonge paynteth disceate. ²⁰ Thou syttest and speakest agaynst thy brother, yee and slaundrest thine owne mothers sonne. ²¹ This thou doest, whyle I holde my tonge: and thinkest me to be eue soch one as thy self: but I wil reproue the, & set my self agaynst the. ²² O considre this, ye that forget God: lest I plucke you awaie, and there be none to delyuer you. ²³ Who so offreth me thakes and prayse, he honoureth me: & this is the waye, wherby I wil shewe him the sauynge health of God.

¹¹ And God sayde: let ye earth bringe forth grene grasse and herbe, that beareth sede: & frutefull trees, that maye beare frute, euery one after his kynde, hauynge their owne sede in them selues vpon the earth. And so it came to passe. ¹² And the earth brought forth grene grasse and herbe, yt beareth sede euery one after his kynde, & trees bearinge frute, & hauynge their owne sede in them selues, euery one after his kynde. And God sawe that it was good.

And God sawe that it was good, ²² and blessed them, sayenge: Growe, and multiplie, and fyll the waters of the sees, and let the foules multiplie vpon the earth.

²⁴ And God sayde: let ye earth brynge forth lyuynge soules, euery one after his kynde: catell, wormes & what as hath life vpon earth, euery one after his kynde.

And God sawe that it was good.

²⁸ And God blessed them, and sayde vnto them: Growe, and multiplie, and fyll the earth, and subdue it, & haue domynion ouer the fish of the see, and ouer the foules of the ayre, and ouer all the beastes that crepe vpo the earth. ²⁹ And God sayde: lo, I haue geuen you all maner herbes that beare sede vpon the whole earth, and all maner frutefull trees that beare sede, to be meate for you. ³⁰ And to all beastes of the earth, and to all foules vnder the heauen, and to euery worme that hath life (vpon earth) all maner grene herbes to eate. And so it came to passe.

¹⁹ And whan God the LORDE had made of the earth all maner beastes of the felde, & all maner foules vnder the heaue, he brought them vnto man, to se what he wolde call the: For as ma called all maner of liuinge soules, so are their names.

¹⁷ As for all the beastes that are with the, what so euer flesh it be (both foule & catell and all maner of wormes that crepe vpon the earth) let them go out with the, and be ye occupied vpon the earth, growe and multiplye vpon the earth.

² The feare also and drede of you be vpon all beastes of the earth, vpon all foules vnder the heauen, and vpon all that crepeth on the earth, and all fyshes of the see be geuen in to youre hades. ³ All that moueth and hath life, be youre meate. Euen as the grene herbe, so haue I geue you all.

¹ Now whan Abram was nyentye yeare olde and nyene, the LORDE appeared vnto him, & sayde vnto him: I am the allmightie God, walke before me, & be vncorrupte.

⁵ Yf ye wyll harken now vnto my voyce, and kepe my couenaunt, ye shalbe myne owne before all people: for the whole earth is myne: ⁶ and ye shall be vnto me a presterly kingdome, and an holy people. These are the wordes that thou shalt saye vnto the children of Israel.

² I am the LORDE thy God, which haue brought the out of the londe of Egipte from ye house of bondage.

³ Moses came and tolde the people all the wordes of the LORDE, & all the lawes. Then answered all the people with one voyce, and sayde: All ye wordes that the LORDE hath sayde, wyl we do. ⁴ Then wrote Moses all the wordes of ye LORDE, & gat him vp by tymes in the mornynge, & buylded an altare vnder ye mount with twolue pilers, acordinge to the twolue trybes of Israel: ⁵ & sent twolue yonge me of the children of Israel, to offre burntofferynges, and peace offerynges theron of bullockes vnto the LORDE. ⁶ And Moses toke the half parte of the bloude, and put it in a basen, the other half sprenkled he vpon the altare: ⁷ & toke the boke of ye couenaunt, & cried in the eares of the people. And whan they had sayde: All yt the LORDE hath sayde, wil we do, & herken vnto him: ⁸ Moses toke the bloude, & sprenkled it vpon the people, & sayde: Beholde, this is ye bloude of the couenaunt that the LORDE maketh wt you vpon all these wordes.

¹⁰ He that breaketh wedlocke with eny mas wife, shal dye the death (both the aduouterer and ye aduouteresse) because he hath broken wedlocke with his neghbours wife.

² Speake to ye children of Israel, & saye vnto them: Yf eny man make a speciall vowe vnto ye LORDE, so yt he pryse a soule, then shal this be the valuacion: ³ A ma of twentye yeare olde vnto the thre score yeare, shalt thou set at fiftie syluer Sycles, after the Sycle of the Sanctuary: ⁴ but a woman at thirtie Sycles. ⁵ Yf it be fyue yeare olde vnto twentye yeare, thou shalt set it at twentye Sycles, whan it is a man childe: but a woman at ten Sycles. ⁶ Yf it be a moneth olde vnto fiue yeare, thou shalt set it at fyue Sycles of syluer, whan it is a machilde: but a woman at thre Syluer Sycles. ⁷ Yf he be thre score yeare olde and aboue, the shalt thou set him at fiftene Sicles wha it is a ma a woma at te Sicles. ⁸ Yf he be to poore so to be set, the let him present himself to ye prest, & ye prest shal value him. Neuertheles he shal value him, acordinge as ye hade of him that vowed, is able to get. ⁹ But yf it be a beest yt maye be offred vnto ye LORDE, all yt is offred vnto ye LORDE of soch, is holy: ¹⁰ it shal not be altered ner chaunged, a good for a bad, or a bad for a good. Yf eny man chaunge it, one beest for another, then shal they both be holy vnto ye LORDE. ¹¹ But yf ye beest be vncleane which maye not be offred vnto ye LORDE, the shal it be set, before ye prest, ¹² and ye prest shal value it, whether it be good or bad, & it shal stonde at the prestes valuynge. ¹³ But yf eny man wil bye it out, he shal geue the fifth parte more, to that it was set at. ¹⁴ Whan eny ma sanctifieth his house vnto the LORDE for ye Sanctuary, the prest shall value it, whether it be good or bad. And as the prest valueth it, so shal it stonde. ¹⁵ But yf he yt sanctified it, wyl redeme it, he shal geue ye fifth parte of syluer therto, aboue that it was set at: So shal it be his. ¹⁶ Yf eny man halowe a pece of lode of his heretage vnto the LORDE, it shalbe set acordinge to yt it beareth. Yf it beare an Homer of barlye, it shalbe valued at fiftye Sycles of syluer. ¹⁷ But yf he halowe his londe immediatly from the yeare of Iubilye forth, then shal it be set acordinge to ye value therof. ¹⁸ Yf he haue halowed it after the yeare of Iubilye, then shal the prest reke it, acordinge to ye yeares yt remayne vnto ye yeare of Iubilye, & therafter shal he set it the lower. ¹⁹ But yf he yt sanctified the londe, wil redeme it agayne, then shal he geue the fifth parte of syluer therto, aboue that it was set at: ²⁰ So shal it be his. Yf he wil not lowse it out, but selleth it vnto another, then shal he redeme it nomore: ²¹ but the same londe whan it goeth out fre in ye yeare of Iubilye, shal be holy vnto the LORDE, as a dedicated felde, and shalbe the prestes inheritaunce. ²² Yf eny man halowe vnto the LORDE a felde, which he hath bought, and is not his inheritaunce, ²³ then shal ye prest reken it, what it is worth vnto the yeare of Iubilye, & the same daye shall he geue the pryce that it is set at, vnto the LORDE for the Sanctuary. ²⁴ But in ye yeare of Iubilye it shal returne vnto him that bought it, yt it maye be his inheritaunce in the londe. ²⁵ All maner of prysinge shalbe made acordinge to the Sycle of the Sactuary. One Sycle maketh xx. Geras. ²⁶ The first borne amonge ye catell (which belongeth vnto the LORDE) shall no man Sanctifie vnto the LORDE, whether it be oxe or shepe, for it is the LORDES all ready. ²⁷ But yf there be eny vncleane thinge vpon the beest, the shal it be lowsed out therafter as it is worth, and the fifth parte shalbe geuen more therto. Yf he wil not redeme it, the let it be solde, as it is worth. ²⁸ There shall no dedicated thinge be solde ner bought out, yt eny man dedicateth vnto ye LORDE, of all yt is his good, whether it be me, catell or lode. For euery dedicated thige, is most holy vnto ye LORDE. ²⁹ There shal no dedicated thige of ma be bought out, but shal dye the death. ³⁰ All the tythes in the londe, both of the sede of the londe, & of ye frutes of the trees, are the LORDES, & shal be holy vnto the LORDE. ³¹ But yf eny man wil redeme his tithes, he shall geue the fifth parte more therto. ³² And all the tithes of oxen & shepe, & that goeth vnder the rod, the same is an holy tythe vnto the LORDE. ³³ It shall not be axed whether it be good or bad, nether shall it be chaunged. But yf eny man chaunge it, then both it & that it was chaunged withall, shal be holy, & not redemed. ³⁴ These are the comaundementes, which ye LORDE gaue Moses in charge vnto childre of Israel vpon mount Sinai.

³⁵ Morouer the fyre came out fro the LORDE, and consumed the two hundreth and fyftye men, that offred the incense.

¹⁹ God is not a man yt he shulde lye, ner a mans childe yt eny thinge shulde repente him. Shulde he saye and not do? Shulde he speake & not make it good?

² Yf eny man make a vowe vnto the LORDE, or sweare an ooth, so that he binde his soule, he shal not breake his worde, but do all that is proceaded out of his mouth. ³ Yf a damsell make a vowe vnto ye LORDE, and bynde hirself, whyle she is in hir fathers house, and vnmaried, ⁴ and hir vowe or bonde that she maketh ouer hir soule, commeth to hir fathers eares, & he holde his peace therto, the all hir vowes & bondes yt she hath boude hir self withall ouer hir soule, shal stode in effecte. ⁵ But yf hir father forbyd her ye same daye that he heareth it, the shal no vowe ner bonde that she hath bounde hir self withall ouer hir soule, be of vayle. And the LORDE shalbe mercifull vnto her, for so moch as hir father forbad her. ⁶ Yf she haue an hu?bande, & hath a vowe vpon her, or yf she haue letten go out of hir lippes a bode ouer hir soule, ⁷ & hir hu?bande heare it, & holdeth his peace ther at, the same daye that he heareth it, then hir vowe & bonde wherwith she hath boude hir self ouer hir soule, shal stonde in effecte. ⁸ But yf hir hu?bande forbyd her the same daye that he heareth it, the is the vowe lowse yt she hath vpo hir, & the bonde also that she hath letten go out of hir lippes ouer hir soule, and the LORDE shalbe gracious vnto her. ⁹ The vowe of a wyddowe, & of her yt is deuorced, all yt she byndeth hir self withall ouer hir soule, shal stonde in effecte vpo her. ¹⁰ Yf she vowe in hir hu?bades house, or binde hir self wt an ooth ouer hir soule, ¹¹ & hir husbande heare it, & holde his peace therto, and forbyddeth it not, the shal all ye same vowe, & all yt she hath boude hir self wt all ouer hir soule, stode i effecte. ¹² But yf hir hu?bade disanulle it, ye same daye yt he heareth it, the is it of no value yt is proceaded out of hir lippes, which she hath vowed or boude ouer hir soule: for hir hu?bade hath made it lowse, & the LORDE shalbe gracious vnto her. ¹³ And all vowes & oothes yt bynde to humble ye soule, maie hir hu?bade stablish or breake, thus: ¹⁴ Yf he holde his peace therto fro one daie to another, then stablisheth he all hir vowes & bondes, yt she hath vpon her, because he helde his peace, the same daye yt he herde the. ¹⁵ But yf he disanulle the after yt he hath herde the, then shal he take awaie hir mi?dede. ¹⁶ These are the statutes yt the LORDE comaunded Moses betwene a man & his wife, & betwene the father & his doughter, whyle she is yet a damsell in hir fathers house.

²⁶ I call heauen and earth to recorde ouer you this daie, that ye shall shortly perishe fro the londe, in to ye which ye go ouer Iordane to possesse it. Ye shal not dwell longe therin, but shal vtterly be destroyed.

³⁶ Out of heauen made he the to heare his voyce, that he might nurtoure the: and vpon earth he shewed the his greate feare, & out of ye fyre thou herdest his wordes:

³ Therfore shalt thou knowe this daye, that the LORDE yi God goeth before the, a cosumynge fyre. He shal destroye the, and shall subdue them before the, and shal driue them out, & shortly shall he brynge the to naught, as the LORDE hath promysed the.

¹⁴ Beholde, the heauen & the heauen of all heaues and the earth, and all yt is therin, is ye LORDES yi God.

²¹ Whan thou makest a vowe vnto ye LORDE yi God, to shalt not be slacke to perfourme it: for the LORDE thy God shal requyre it of the, and it shal be synne vnto the.

¹⁷ The same daye maydest thou a promysse vnto the LORDE, that he shulde be thy God, and yt thou woldest walke in all his wayes, and kepe his ordynaunces, his commaundementes, and his lawes, and to herken vnto his voyce. ¹⁸ And the LORDE promysed the vpo the same daye, that thou shuldest be his awne peculier people, like as he hath sayde vnto the (so yt thou kepe all his commaundementes)

¹⁹ I take heauen and earth this daye to recorde ouer you: I haue layed before you life and death, blessinge and cursinge, that thou mayest chose life, and that thou and thy sede maye lyue,

¹⁹ Wryte now therfore this songe, & teach it the children of Israel, and put it in their mouth, that this songe maye be a witnesse vnto me amonge the children of Israel. ²⁰ For I wil brynge them in to the londe which I sware vnto their fathers, that floweth with mylke and hony. And whan they eate, and are full and fatt, they shal turne vnto other goddes, and serue them, and blaspheme me, and breake my couenaunt. ²¹ And so whan moch myschefe and tribulacion is come vpon them, this songe shall answere before them for a witnesse. It shall not be forgotten out of the mouth of their sede: for I knowe their ymaginacion, that they go aboute euen now, before I brynge them in to the londe, which I sware vnto them.

²⁸ Gather now vnto me all the Elders of youre trybes, and youre officers, yt I maye speake these wordes in their eares, and take heauen and earth to recorde agaynst them.

¹ Herken (O ye heauens) I wyll speake: and let the earth heare the wordes of my mouth.

¹⁸ Thy rocke that begat ye, hast thou despysed: and hast forgotten God that made the.

² and saide: The LORDE came from Sinai, and rose vp vnto the from Seir. He appeared fro mount Paran, and came wt many thousande sayntes. At his righte hande is there a lawe of fyre for them:

² and saide: The LORDE came from Sinai, and rose vp vnto the from Seir. He appeared fro mount Paran, and came wt many thousande sayntes. At his righte hande is there a lawe of fyre for them: ³ O how loued he the people? All his sayntes are in his hande, they shall set them selues downe at thy fete, and receaue of thy wordes.

²² The mightie God ye LORDE, the mightie God the LORDE knoweth, and Israel knoweth also, yf this be a trangressynge or trespacynge agaynst the LORDE, then let it not helpe vs this daye:

²² For the LORDE shall not forsake his people because of his greate names sake: for the LORDE hath begonne to make you a people vnto him selfe. ²³ But God forbyd that I shulde synne so vnto the LORDE, to ceasse from prayenge for you, and from teachinge you the good & righteous waye. ²⁴ Feare ye the LORDE therfore, and serue him faithfully with all yor hert: for ye haue sene, how greate thinges he doth vnto you. ²⁵ But yf ye do wickedly, both ye & youre kynge shal perishe.

⁴² They shal crye, but there shalbe no Sauioure: yee euen vnto the LORDE, but he answereth them not.

⁹ and thou hast done worse then all they that haue bene before the: thou hast gone thy waye and made the other goddes, and molten ymages, to prouoke me vnto wrath, and hast cast me behynde thy backe.

²¹ Then stepte Elias vnto all the people, & sayde: How longe halte ye on both ye sydes? Yf the LORDE be God, the walke after him: but yf Baal be he, the folowe him. And the people gaue him no answere.

³⁶ And whan the tyme was to offer ye meatofferynge, Elias stepte forth, and sayde: O LORDE God of Abraham, of Isaac and of Israel, let it be knowne this daye, that thou art God in Israel, and I thy seruaunt, and that I haue done all this acordinge vnto yi worde. ³⁷ Heare me O LORDE, O heare me, yt this people maye knowe, how that thou art the LORDE God, that thou mayest afterwarde turne their hertes.

¹¹ He sayde: Go forth, and stonde vpon the mount before the LORDE. And beholde, the LORDE wete ouer: and a greate mightie wynde, which roue the mountaynes, and brake the harde stones, came before the LORDE, but the LORDE was not in the wynde. After the wynde came there an earthquake, but the LORDE was not in the earthquake. ¹² And after the earth quake there came a fyre, but the LORDE was not in the fyre. And after the fyre came there a styll softe hyssinge.

¹³ And whan the LORDE testified in Israel and Iuda by all the prophetes and Seers, sayenge: O turne agayne from youre euell wayes, and kepe my commaundemetes and ordynaunces, acordinge to all ye lawe which I gaue vnto youre fathers, and that I sent vnto you by my seruauntes the prophetes:

¹⁷ Then the Leuites appoynted Heman ye sonne of Ioel: and of his brethren Assaph the sonne of Barachias: and of the children of Merari their brethren, Ethan the sonne of Cusaia:

³⁷ So he lefte Assaph and his brethren there before the Arke of the couenaunt of the LORDE, to mynister allwaye before the Arke, euery daye his daye worke.

² Amonge the childre of Assaph was Sakur, Ioseph, Nethania, Asarela, childre of Assaph vnder Assaph which prophecyed besyde ye kynge.

⁶ All these were vnder their fathers Assaph Iedithun and Heman, to synge in the house of the LORDE with Cymbales, Psalteries & harpes, acordynge to the office in the house of God besyde the kynge.

¹⁴ For who am I? What is my people? that we shulde be able with a fre wyll to offre, as this is done? For of the commeth all, and of thy hande haue we geuen it the: ¹⁵ For we are but pilgrems & straugers before the, as were all oure fathers. Oure life vpon earth is as a shadowe, and here is no abydinge. ¹⁶ O LORDE oure God, all this abundaunce that we haue prepared to buylde the an house vnto thy name, came of thy hande, and is thine alltogether.

⁵ Therfore dyd the LORDE his God delyuer him in to the hande of the kynge of Syria, so that they smote him, and caryed awaye a greate multitude of his men presoners, and broughte them to Damascon. He was geuen also vnder the hande of the kynge of Israel, so yt he dyd a greate slaughter vpon him.

³⁰ And Ezechias the kynge wt the rulers commaunded the Leuites to prayse the LORDE with the songes of Dauid and Assaph the Seer. And they gaue prayse tyll they were ioyfull, and they bowed them selues, and worshipped.

¹² And whan he was in trouble, he made intercession before the LORDE his God, and humbled him selfe greatly before the God of his fathers, ¹³ and prayed and besoughte him. Then herde he his prayer, and broughte him agayne to Ierusalem to his kyngdome. And Manasses knewe that the LORDE is God.

⁶ LORDE, thou art alone, thou hast made heauen, and the heauen of all heauens, with all their hoost, the earth and all that therin is, the See and all that is therin: thou geuest life vnto all, and ye hoost of heauen bowe themselues vnto the.

²⁶ Neuertheles they were disobedient, and rebelled agaynst the, and cast thy lawe behynde their backes, and slewe thy prophetes (which exhorted them so earnestly, that they shulde couerte vnto the) and dyd greate blasphemies.

²⁹ and testified vnto them, that they shulde turne agayne vnto thy lawe. Notwithstodinge they were proude, and herkened not vnto thy comaundementes, but synned in thy lawes (which a man shulde do, & lyue in them) & turned their shulder awaye, & were styffnecked, & wolde not heare. ³⁰ And many yeares dyddest thou forbeare them, & testified vnto them thorow yi sprete, euen by the office of yi prophetes, & yet wolde they not heare. Therfore gauest thou the in to ye hade of ye nacions in the londes.

³² Now oure God, thou greate God, mightie and terrible, thou that kepest couenaunt and mercy, regarde not a litle all the trauayle yt hath happened vnto vs, & oure kynges, prynces, prestes, prophetes, fathers & all thy people, sence the tyme of the kynges of Assur vnto this daie.

¹³ Euen so goeth it with all them, that forget God: and euen thus also shal the ypocrytes hope come to naught.

²⁷ The shalt thou make thy prayer vnto him, & he shal heare the, & thou shalt kepe thy promyses.

⁹ Yf my hert hath lusted after my neghbours wife, or yf I haue layed wayte at his dore: ¹⁰ O then let my wife be another mans harlot, and let other lye with her. ¹¹ For this is a wickednesse and synne, that is worthy to be punyshed,

⁴¹ who prouydeth meate for the rauen, whe his yonge ones crie vnto God, ad fle aboute for want of meate?

¹³ The Estrich (whose fethers are fayrer the ye wynges of the sparow hauke) ¹⁴ whe he hath layed his egges vpon the grounde, he bredeth them in the dust, ¹⁵ and forgetteth them: so that they might be troden with fete, or broken with somme wilde beast. ¹⁶ So harde is he vnto his yong ones, as though they were not his, and laboureth in vayne without eny feare. ¹⁷ And that because God hath taken wisdome from him, & hath not geuen him vnderstondinge. ¹⁸ When his tyme is, he flyeth vp an hye, and careth nether for horse ner man.

²⁶ Commeth it thorow thy wysdome, that the goshauke flyeth towarde the south? ²⁷ Doth the Aegle mounte vp & make his nest on hye at thy commaundement? ²⁸ He abydeth in the stony rockes, ad vpon the hye toppes of harde mountaynes, where no man can come. ²⁹ From thence maye he beholde his praye, and loke farre aboute with his eyes. ³⁰ His yonge ones are fed with bloude, and where eny deed body lyeth, there is he immediatly.

¹⁵ Beholde, the cruell beaste (whom I made wt the) which eateth haye as an oxe: ¹⁶ lo, how stronge he is in his loynes, and what power he hath in the nauell of his body. ¹⁷ He spredeth out his tale like a Cedre tre, all his vaynes are stiff. ¹⁸ His shynnes are like pipes off brasse, his rygge bones are like staues of yro ¹⁹ First when God made him, he ordened the wyldernesse for him, ²⁰ yt the mountaynes shulde geue him grasse, where all the beastes off the felde take their pastyme. ²¹ He lyeth amoge the redes in the Mosses, the fennes ²² hyde him with their shadowe, and the wylowes of the broke couer him rounde aboute. ²³ Lo, without eny laboure might he drynke out the whole floude, and suppe off Iordane without eny trauayle. ²⁴ Who darre laye honde vpon him openly, and vndertake to catch him? Or, who darre put an hoke thorow his nose, ad laye a snare for him?

¹¹ Or, who hath geuen me eny thynge afore hande, that I am bounde to rewarde him agayne? All thinges vnder heauen are myne.

⁹ their throte is an open sepulchre: with their tonges they disceaue.

² Lest he hantch vp my soule like a lyon, & teare it in peces, whyle there is none to helpe. ³ O LORDE my God, yff I haue done eny soch thinge: yf there be eny vnrightuousnes in my hades: ⁴ Yff I haue rewarded euell vnto the yt dealt frendly wt me or hurte the yt wt out eny cause are myne enemies: ⁵ Then let myne enemie persecute my soule, & take me: yee let hi treade my life downe in the earth, & laye myne honor in the dust.

⁶ Thou hast set him aboue the workes off thy hondes: thou hast put all thinges in subieccion vnder his fete. ⁷ All shepe and oxen, yee and the beastes of the felde. ⁸ The foules of the ayre: the fysh of the see, and what so walketh thorow the wayes of the see.

¹⁶ Thus ye LORDE is knowne to execute true iudgment, whe the vngodly is trapped in the workes of his owne handes. ¹⁷ Sela. The wicked must be turned vnto hell, and all the Heithen yt forget God.

⁴ The vngodly is so proude and full of indignacio, that he careth not: nether is God before his eyes.

⁷ He sytteth lurkynge in the gardens, that he maye pryuely murthur the innocent, his eyes are set vpo the poore.

² Euery man telleth lyes to his neghbor, they do but flater with their lippes and dissemble in their herte. ³ O that the LORDE wolde rote out all disceatfull lippes, ad the tonge that speaketh proude thinges.

⁷ The the earth trembled & quaked, the very foudacios of the hilles shoke & were remoued, because he was wrothe. ⁸ There wete a smoke out of his nostrels, ad a cosumynge fyre out of his mouth, so yt coales were kyndled at it. ⁹ He bowed the heaues & came downe, & it was darcke vnder his fete. ¹⁰ He rode vpo the Cherubins & dyd fle: he came flyenge with the wynges of the wynde. ¹¹ He made darcknesse his pauylion rounde aboute hi, with darcke water & thicke cloudes to couer him. ¹² At the brightnes off his presence the cloudes remoued, with hale stones & coales of fyre. ¹³ The LORDE also thondred out of ye heaue, & the heyth gaue his thondre wt hale stones & coales of fyre. ¹⁴ He sent out his arowes & scatred the, he cast sore lighteninges, & destroyed the. ¹⁵ The springes of waters were sene, & the foundacios of the roude worlde were discouered at yi chiding (o LORDE) at the blastinge & breth of thy displeasure.

²³ O prayse the LORDE ye that feare him: Magnifie him all ye sede of Iacob, & let all ye sede of Israel feare hi.

²⁵ I wil prayse the in the greate congregacion, and perfourme my vowes in the sight off all the that feare the.

¹ The earth is the LORDES, & all that therin is: the copase of the worlde, ad all yt dwell therin. ² For he hath fouded it vpo the sees, & buylded it vpon the floudes.

⁴ Eue he yt hath innocet hodes & a clene herte: which lifteth not vp his mynde vnto vanite, & sweareth not to disceaue. ⁵ He shal receaue the blessinge fro the LORDE, ad mercy fro God his sauioure.

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

⁶ And now hath he lift vp my heade aboue myne enemies, that copassed me rounde aboute.

⁴ Synge prayses vnto the LORDE (o ye sayntes of his) geue thankes vnto him for a remembraunce of his holynesse.

¹⁸ Shewe thy seruaunt the light of thy countenaunce, helpe me for thy mercies sake.

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.

³ The wordes of his mouth are vnrightuousnesse and disceate, he wil not be lerned to do good. ⁴ He ymagineth myschefe vpon his bedde, he will come in no good waye, ner refuse the thinge that is euell.

⁶ I wolde declare them, and speake of the: but they are so many, that they can not be tolde. ⁷ Sacrifice and offeringe thou woldest not haue but a body hast thou ordeined me: burntofferynges and sacrifice for synne thou hast not alowed. Then sayde I: Lo, I come. ⁸ In the begynnynge of the boke it is written of me, that I shulde fulfill thy wil O my God, & that am I contet to do: yee thy lawe is within my hert.

² The hill of Sion is like a fayre plate, wherof all the londe reioyseth: vpon the north syde lyeth the cite of the greate kinge.

¹⁴ For this God is or God for euer & euer, and he shal allwaie be or gyde.

¹ O heare this, all ye people: pondre it well, all ye that dwell vpo the earth.

¹ O heare this, all ye people: pondre it well, all ye that dwell vpo the earth. ² Hye & lowe, riche & poore, one wt another.

³ Oure God shal come, and not kepe sylence: there goeth before him a consumynge fyre, and a mightie tempest rounde aboute him.

⁶ And the heauens shal declare his rightuousnesse, for God is iudge himself.

⁸ I reproue the not because of thy sacrifice, yi burntofferinges are allwaye before me.

¹⁴ Offre vnto God prayse and thankesgeuynge, and paye thy vowes vnto the most hyest. ¹⁵ And call vpo me in the tyme of trouble, so wil I heare the, that thou shalt thanke me.

²¹ This thou doest, whyle I holde my tonge: and thinkest me to be eue soch one as thy self: but I wil reproue the, & set my self agaynst the.

²³ Who so offreth me thakes and prayse, he honoureth me: & this is the waye, wherby I wil shewe him the sauynge health of God.

¹⁶ For yf thou haddest pleasure in sacrifice, I wolde geue it the: but thou delytest not in burntofferynges.

² Where as the goodnesse of God endureth yet daylie. ³ Thy tonge ymagineth wickednesse, and with lyes it cutteth like a sharpe rasoure. ⁴ Thou louest vngraciousnesse more the good, to talke of lyes more then rightuousnesse.

¹² But it is thou my companyon, my gyde and myne owne familier frede.

²¹ O cast thy burthen (or care) vpon the LORDE, he shal norish the, and not leaue the rightuous in vnquietnesse.

¹² Vnto the (o God) wil I paye my vowes, vnto ye wil I geue thakes & prayse.

⁸ So wil I allwaye synge prayses vnto thy name, yt I maye daylie perfourme my vowes.

³ Which whette their tuges like a swerde, & shute wt their venimous wordes like as wt arowes. ⁴ That they maye preuely hurte ye innocet, & sodely to hit him wt out eny feare. ⁵ They haue deuysed myschefe, and commoned amonge them selues, how they maye laye snares: tush (saye they) who shall se them?

¹ Thou (o God) art praysed in Sion, and vnto the is the vowe perfourmed.

¹³ Therfore will I go into thy house wt bretofferinges, to paye the my vowes, ¹⁴ which I promised wt my lippes, and spake with my mouth, when I was in trouble. ¹⁵ I wil offre vnto the fatte brentsacrifices with the smoke of rames, I will offre bullockes and goates. ¹⁶ Sela. O come hither and herke (all ye that feare God) I wil tell you, what he hath done for my soule. ¹⁷ I called vnto hi wt my mouth and gaue him prayses with my tuge. ¹⁸ (Yff I enclyne vnto wickednes with my herte, ye LORDE wil not heare me.) ¹⁹ Therfore God hath herde me, ad considred the voyce off my prayer. ²⁰ Praysed be God, which hath not cast out my prayer, ner turned his mercy fro me.

²⁰ Sela. The God yt is or Sauior, eue God the LORDE by who we escape death.

²⁴ It is well sene (o God how thou goest, how thou my God and kynge goest in the Sanctuary.

³⁰ As for me, I am poore & in heuynesse, let thy helpe defende me, o God. ³¹ That I maye prayse ye name of God with a songe, & magnifie it with thankesgeuynge.

³¹ That I maye prayse ye name of God with a songe, & magnifie it with thankesgeuynge.

¹ O how louynge is God vnto Israel, to soch as are of a clene hert?

¹¹ Tush (saye they) how shulde God perceaue it? is there knowlege in the most hyest?

⁷ For promocio commeth nether from the east ner from the west, ner yet fro the wyldernesse.

¹¹ Loke what ye promyse vnto the LORDE youre God, se that kepe it, all ye that be roude aboute him: brynge presentes vnto him yt ought to be feared.

² In the tyme of my trouble I sought the LORDE, I helde vp my hondes vnto him in the night season, for my soule refused all other comforte.

³⁶ Neuerthelesse, they dyd but flater him in their mouthes, and dissembled with him in their tonges. ³⁷ For their herte was not whole with him, nether continued they in his couenaunt. ³⁸ But he was so mercifull, that he forgaue their mysdedes, and destroyed them not:

¹ Heare o thou shepherde of Israel, thou yt ledest Iacob like a flocke of shepe: shewe yi self, thou yt syttest vpo ye Cherubins.

¹⁷ Let thy honde be vpon the man of thy right honde, & vpon the man who thou maydest so moch off for thine owne self.

⁷ Whe thou calldest vpon me in trouble, I helped the & herde the, what tyme as the storme fell vpo the, ⁸ I proued the also at the water of strife.

¹⁰ There shal no straunge God be in the, nether shalt thou worshipe eny other God. ¹¹ I am the LORDE thy God, which brought the out of the lode of Egipte: ope thy mouth wyde, & I shal fyll it. ¹² But my people wolde not heare my voyce, & Israel wolde not obeye me.

¹ Holde not thy tonge (o God) kepe not still sylece,, refrayne not yi self, o God.

⁹ For his saluacion is nye them that feare him, so that glory shal dwell in oure londe.

¹³ Rightuousnesse shal go before him, and prepare the waye for his commynge.

⁹ All nacions whom thou hast made, shall come and worshipe before the o LORDE, and shal glorifie thy name.

¹² I thanke the o LORDE my God, & wil prayse thy name for euer.

² Very excellet thiges are spoke of ye, thou cite of God. ³ Sela. I wil thinke vpo Rahab & Babilo, so that they shal knowe me:

⁵ Sela. O LORDE, the very heaues shal prayse thy wonderous workes, yee & thy faithfulnes in ye congregacion of the sayntes.

⁸ Thou settest oure mi?dedes before the, and oure secrete synnes in the light of thy countenaunce.

¹⁵ When he calleth vpon me, I shall heare him: yee I am with him in his trouble, wherout I wil delyuer him, and brynge him to honoure. ¹⁶ With loge life wil I satisfie him, & shewe him my saluacion.

¹ O Lorde God, to whom vengeaunce belogeth: thou God to whom vengeaunce belongeth, shewe thy self.

⁷ And yet they saie: Tush, the LORDE seyth not, the God of Iacob regardeth it not. ⁸ Take hede, ye vnwise amonge the people: o ye fooles, when wil ye vnderstonde? ⁹ He that planted the eare, shal he not heare? he that made the eye, shal not he se? ¹⁰ He that nurtureth the Heithen, and teacheth a man knowlege, shal not he punysh? ¹¹ The LORDE knoweth the thoughtes of men, that they are but vayne.

¹³ Before the LORDE, for he commeth: for he cometh to iudge the earth: yee with rightuousnesse shal he iudge the worlde, and ye people with his trueth.

³ There goeth a fyre before him, to burne vp his enemies on euery syde. ⁴ His lightenynges geue shyne vnto the worlde, the earth seyth it & is afraied. ⁵ The hilles melt like wax at the presence of ye LORDE, at the presence of the LORDE of the whole earth. ⁶ The very heauens declare his rightuousnes, & all people se his glory.

¹⁰ O ye that loue the LORDE, se that ye hate the thinge which is euell: the LORDE preserueth the soules of his sayntes, he shal delyuer the from the honde of the vngodly.

⁹ Let the floudes clappe their hondes, and let all the hilles be ioyfull together. Before the LORDE, for he is come to iudge the earth. Yee with rightuousnes shall he iudge the worlde, and the people with equite.

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

¹⁴ Thou bryngest forth grasse for the catell, and grene herbe for the seruyce of men.

²⁴ O LORDE, how manifolde are thy workes, right wysely hast thou made the all: yee the earth is full of thy riches.

²⁴ O LORDE, how manifolde are thy workes, right wysely hast thou made the all: yee the earth is full of thy riches. ²⁵ So is this greate and wyde see also, wherin are thinges crepinge innumerable, both small and greate beastes.

⁶ So they cried vnto the LORDE in their trouble, & he delyuered the from their distresse. ⁷ He led the forth by ye right waie, yt they might go to ye cite where they dwelt. ⁸ O that me wolde prayse the goodnesse of the LORDE, & the wonders that he doth for the childre of me. ⁹ For he satisfied the emptie soule, & fylled the hongrie soule wt good. ¹⁰ Soch as sat in darcknesse and in the shadowe of death, beynge fast bounde in misery & yron. ¹¹ Because they were not obediet to the comaundementes of God, but lightly regarded the councell of the most highest. ¹² Their herte was vexed with labor, they fell downe, & there was none to helpe them. ¹³ So they cried vnto the LORDE in their trouble, & he delyuered them out of their distresse.

¹⁹ So they cried vnto the LORDE in their trouble, & he delyuered the out of their distresse.

²¹ O that men wolde prayse the goodnesse of the LORDE, & the wonders that he doth for the children of men. ²² That they wolde offre vnto him the sacrifice of thankesgeuynge, and tell out his workes with gladnes.

²⁸ So they crie vnto the LORDE in their trouble, & he delyuereth the out of their distresse.

¹ Holde not thy toge, o God of my prayse. For the mouth of the vngodly, yee and the mouth of the disceatfull is opened vpon me, ² and speake agaynst me with false toges. They compase me aboute with wordes of hatred, & fight agaynst me without a cause. ³ For the loue that I had vnto them, they take now my contrary parte, but I geue my self vnto prayer.

³ The LORDES name is worthy to be praysed, fro the rysinge vp of the Sonne vnto the goinge downe of the same.

¹⁵ For ye are ye blessed of the LORDE, which made heauen & earth. ¹⁶ All the whole heauens are the LORDES, but the earth hath he geue vnto ye childre of men.

¹² What rewarde shal I geue vnto ye LORDE, for all the benefites yt he hath done vnto me? ¹³ I wil receaue the cuppe of saluacio, and call vpon the name of the LORDE. ¹⁴ I wil paye my vowes in the presence of all his people, right deare in the sight of ye LORDE is the death of his sayntes.

¹⁷ I wil offre the the sacrifice of thankes geuynge, and wil call vpon the name of the LORDE. ¹⁸ I wil paye my vowes vnto the LORDE in the sight of all his people,

³ Greate is the LORDE, & maruelous worthy to be praysed, there is no ende of his greatnesse. ⁴ One generacion shal prayse thy workes vnto another, and declare thy power. ⁵ As for me I wil be talkige of thy worshipe, thy glory, thy prayse and woderous workes. ⁶ So that men shal speake of the might of thy maruelous actes, and tell of yi greatnes.

¹⁵ The eyes of all wayte vpon the, and thou geuest them their meate in due season. ¹⁶ Thou openest thine hade, and fyllest all thinges lyuynge with plenteousnesse.

¹ O prayse the LORDE, for it is a good thinge to synge prayses vnto or God: yee a ioyfull and pleasaunt thinge is it to be thankfull.

⁹ Which geueth foder vnto ye catell, & fedeth ye yonge rauens yt call vpo him.

⁷ The feare of the LORDE is the begynnynge of wysdome. But fooles despyse wysdome and nurtoure.

¹⁰ My sonne, cosente not vnto synners, ¹¹ yf they entyse the, and saye: come wyth us, let us laye wayte for bloude, & lurke preuely for the innocet wythout a cause: ¹² let us swalowe the vp like ye hell, let us deuoure the quycke and whole, as those that go downe in to the pytt. ¹³ So shal we fynde all maner of costly riches, and fyll oure houses wyth spoyles. ¹⁴ Cast in thy lott amonge us, we shal haue all one purse. ¹⁵ My sonne, walke not thou wt them, refrayne yi fote fro their wayes. ¹⁶ For their fete rune to euell, & are haistie to shed bloude. ¹⁷ But in vayne is ye net layed forth before the byrdes eyes. ¹⁸ Yee they the selues laye wayte one for anothers bloude, and one of the wolde slaye another. ¹⁹ These are the wayes of all soch as be couetous, that one wolde rauysh anothers life.

²⁸ Then shal they call vpo me, but I wil not heare: they shal seke me early, but they shal not fynde me: ²⁹ And yt because they hated knowlege, and receaued not ye feare of ye LORDE,

⁸ he kepeth them in ye right path, and preserueth ye waye of his sayntes.

¹⁶ That thou mayest be delyuered also from the straunge woman, and from her that is not thine owne: which geueth swete wordes, ¹⁷ forsaketh the hu?bande of hir youth, and forgetteth the couenaunt of hir God. ¹⁸ For hir house is enclyned vnto death, and hir pathes vnto hell. ¹⁹ All they that go in vnto her, come not agayne, nether take they holde of the waye of life.

¹² and then saye: Alas, why hated I nurtoure? why dyd my hert despyse correccion? ¹³ Wherfore was not I obedient vnto the voyce of my teachers, & herkened not vnto them that infourmed me?

¹⁹ For the good man is not at home, he is gone farre of. ²⁰ He hath taken the bagg of moneye with him, who can tell whe he cometh home? ²¹ Thus with many swete wordes she ouercame him, and with hir flateringe lippes she wanne him. ²² Immediatly he foloweth her, as it were an oxeled to the slaughter (and like as it were to the stockes, where fooles are punyshed) ²³ so longe till she hath wounded his lyuer with hir darte: like as yf a byrde haisted to the snare, not knowinge that the parell of his life lyeth there vpo.

³⁶ But who so offendeth agaynst me, hurteth his owne soule. All they that hate me, are the louers of death.

¹⁸ Dissemblynge lippes kepe hatred secretly, and he that speaketh eny slaunder, is a foole.

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

⁷ Like as it is an vnsemely thige to haue legges & yet to halte, eue so is a parable in ye fooles mouth.

¹ He that is stiffnecked & wyll not be refourmed, shal sodenly be destroyed wt out eny helpe.

⁴ Yf thou make a vowe vnto God, be not slacke to perfourme it. As for foolish vowes, he hath no pleasure in them. ⁵ Yf thou promyse eny thinge, paye it: for better it is that thou make no vowe, then that thou shuldest promise, and not paye.

¹⁴ Vse well the tyme of prosperite, and remembre the tyme of mysfortune: for God maketh the one by the other, so that a man can fynde nothinge els.

¹¹ Because now that euell workes are not haistely punyshed, the hert of man geueth him self ouer vnto wickednesse: 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.

¹⁴ For God shall iudge all workes and secrete thinges, whether they be good or euell.

¹⁶ His throte is swete, yee he is alltogether louely. Soch one is my loue (o ye doughters of Ierusalem) soch one is my loue.

² Heare o heauen, herken o earth, for the LORDE speaketh: I haue norished & brought vp children, and they are fallen awaye fro me.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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. ¹⁶ Wash you, make you clene, put awaye yor euell thoughtes out of my sight, cease from doinge of euell and violence. ¹⁷ Lerne to do right, applie youre selues to equyte, delyuer the oppressed, helpe the fatherlesse to his right, let the wydowes complaynte come before you. 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?

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? ¹⁹ Is it not so? Yf ye be louynge & obedient, ye shal enioye the best thinge that groweth in the londe. ²⁰ But yf ye be obstinate and rebellious, ye shalbe deuoured with the swerde: for thus the LORDE hath promised with his owne mouth. ²¹ How happeneth it then that the rightuous citie (which was full of equite) is become vnfaithfull as an whore? rightuousnes dwelt in it, but now murthur. ²² Thy Siluer is turned to drosse, and thy wyne myxte wt water. ²³ Thy prynces are traytours and companyons of theues. They loue giftes altogether, and folowe rewardes. As for the fatherles, they helpe him not to his right, nether wil they let the wydowes causes come before them. ²⁴ Therfore speaketh the LORDE God of hostes the mighty one of Israel: Ah I must ease me of myne enemies, and a venge me vpo the. ²⁵ And therfore shal I laye my honde vpon the, and burne out thy drosse from the fynest and purest, and put out all thy leade, ²⁶ & set thy iudges agayne as they were somtyme, and thy Senatours as they were from ye begynnynge. Then shalt thou be called the rightuous citie, the faithful citie. ²⁷ But Sion shalbe redemed with equyte, and hyr captiuyte with rightuousnesse ²⁸ For the transgressours and vngodly, and soch as are become vnfaithfull vnto the LORDE, must all together be vtterly destroyed. ²⁹ And excepte ye be ashamed of the oketrees wherin ye haue so delited, and of the gardes that ye haue chosen: ³⁰ ye shalbe as an oke whose leaues are fallen awaye, and as a garden that hath no moystnesse. ³¹ And as for the glory of these thinges, it shalbe turned to drie strawe, and he that made them to a sparke. And they shal both burne together, so that no man shalbe able to quench them.

²³ These gyue sentence with the vngodly for rewardes, but condemne the iust cause of the rightuous.

⁶ For vnto us a childe shalbe borne, and vnto us a sonne shalbe geue. Vpo his shulder shal the kyngdome lye, and he shalbe called wt his owne name: The woderous geuer of councel, the mightie God, the euerlastinge father, the prynce of peace,

³ and shal make him feruent in the feare of God. For he shal not geue sentece, after the thinge yt shal be brought before his eies, nether reproue a matter at the first hearinge: ⁴ but with rightousnesse shal he iudge the poore, and with holynes shal he refourme the symple of the worlde. He shal smyte ye worlde with ye staff of his mouth, & with ye breath of his mouth shal he slaye the wicked.

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.

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

³ For I will sende for my debites and my gyautes (sayeth the LORDE) and in my wrath I will call for soch, as tryumphe in my glory.

¹⁰ But the vngodly (though he haue recaued grace) yet lerneth he not rightuousnesse, but in that place where he is punished, he offendeth, & feareth not the glory of the LORDE.

²¹ For beholde, the LORDE wil go out of his habitacion, & vyset the wickednes of the that dwell vpon earth. He wil discouer the bloude that she hath deuoured, she shal neuer hyde the, that she hath murthured.

¹³ Therfore thus sayeth the LORDE: For so moch as this people draweth nye me wt their mourh, and prayseth me highly with their lippes (where as there herte neuertheles is farre fro me, and the feare which they owe vnto me, that turne they to mens lawes and doctrynes)

²⁰ Delyuer vs then (o LORDE oure God) from the hondes of Sennacherib, yt all kingdomes of the earth maye knowe, that thou only art ye LORDE.

¹⁵ Beholde, all people are in coparison of him, as a droppe to a bucketfull, and are counted as the leest thinge yt the balaunce weyeth. Beholde, ye Iles are in comparison of him, as the shadowe of the Sonne beame. ¹⁶ Libanus is not sufficiet to ministre fyre for his offringe, and all the beastes therof are not ynough to one sacrifice. ¹⁷ All people in comparison of him, are rekened, as nothinge, yee vayne vanite and emptynesse. ¹⁸ To whom then will ye licke God? or what similitude will ye set vp vnto him?

¹³ The LORDE shal come forth as a gyaunte, and take a stomacke to him like a fresh man of warre. He shal roare and crie, and ouercome his enemies. ¹⁴ I haue longe holden my peace (saieth the LORDE) shulde I therfore be still, and kepe sylence for euer? I will crie like a trauelinge woman, and once wil I destroye, and deuoure.

¹⁴ I haue longe holden my peace (saieth the LORDE) shulde I therfore be still, and kepe sylence for euer? I will crie like a trauelinge woman, and once wil I destroye, and deuoure.

²³ Thou gauest me not thy yonge beastes for burntoffringes, nether didest honoure me with thy sacrifices. Thou boughtest me no deare spice with thi money, nether pouredest the fat of thy sacrifices vpon me. Howbeit I haue not bene chargeable vnto the in offriges, nether greuous in Incense. ²⁴ But thou hast lade me with thy synnes, and weeried me with thy vngodlynes:

¹⁷ But Israel shalbe saued in the LORDE, which is the euerlastinge saluacio: They shal not come to shame ner confucion, worlde without ende.

¹ Heare this, O thou house of Iacob: ye yt are called by the name of Israel, and are come out of one stocke wt Iuda: which sweare by the name of the LORDE, and beare witnesse by the God of Israel (but not wt treuth and right) ² which are called fre men of the holy citie, as they that loke for conforth in the God of Israel, whose name is the LORDE of hoostes.

²² As for the vngodly, they haue no peace, saieth the LORDE.

⁶ Let it be but a smal thinge, that thou art my seruaunt, to set vp the kinreddes of Iacob, & to restore the destructio of Israel: yf I make the not also the light of the Gentiles, that thou mayest be my health vnto the ende of the worlde.

⁵ It is hard by, that my health & my rightuousnesse shal go forth, and the people shalbe ordred with myne arme. The Ilondes (that is ye Gentiles) shal hope in me, and put their trust in myne arme. 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.

¹³ And forgettest the LORDE that made the, that spred out the heauens, and layde the foundacion of the earth. But thou art euer afrayde for the sight of thyne oppressoure, which is ready to do harme: Where is the wrath of the oppressoure?

⁵ For he that made the, shalbe thy LORDE & husbonde (whose name is the LORDE of hoostes) & thine avenger shalbe euen the holy one off Israel, the LORDE of the whole worlde.

⁶ Seke the LORDE while he maye be founde, call vpo him while he is nye. 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 All the beastes of the felde, & all the beastes of ye wod, shal come to deuoure hi.

¹¹ For when wilt thou be aba?shed or feare, seinge thou hast broken thy promyse, & remembrest not me, nether hast me in thine hert? Thinkest thou, that I also will holde my peace (as afore tyme) yt thou fearest me not?

¹ And therfore crie now, as loude as thou canst. Leaue not of, lift vp thy voyce like a tropet, and shewe my people their offences, and ye house of Iacob their synnes. ² For they seke me dalye, and wil knowe my wayes, euen as it were a people that dyd right, and had not forsaken the statutes of their God. They argue with me concernynge right iudgment, and wil pleate at the lawe with their God. 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. ⁵ Thynke ye this fast pleaseth me, that a ma shulde chasten himself for a daye, and to wryth his heade aboute like an hoke in an hairy cloth, & to lye vpon the earth? Shulde that be called fastinge, or a daye yt pleaseth ye LORDE? 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.

³ For yor hondes are defyled with bloude, and yor fyngers wt vnrighteousnesse: Yor lippes speake lesynges, & yor tonge setteth out wickednes. ⁴ No man regardeth righteousnes, & no ma iudgeth truly Euery man hopeth in vayne thinges, and ymagineth disceate, coceaueth weerynesse, & bringeth forth euell.

⁶ Beholde, it is written before my face, & shal not be forgotten, but recopensed. I shal rewarde it them in to their bosome: ⁷ I meane youre mysdedes, and the mysdedes of youre fathers together (saieth the LORDE) which haue made their smokes vpon the mountaynes, and blasphemed me vpon the hilles: therfore will I measure their olde dedes in to their bosome agayne.

⁴ Heare therfore the worde of the LORDE, O thou house of Iacob, and all the generacion of the house of Israel. ⁵ Thus saieth ye LORDE vnto you: What vnfaithfulnesse founde youre fathers in me, that they wente so farre awaye fro me, fallinge to lightnesse, and beinge so vayne?

⁹ Wherfore I am constrayned (sayeth the LORDE) to make my complaynte vpon you, and vpon youre children.

³² Doth a mayden forget hir raymet, or a bryde hir stomacher? And doth my people forget me so loge?

⁸ In the desyre of vnclenly lust they are become like the stoned horse, euery man neyeth at his neghbours wife. ⁹ Shulde I not correcke this, saieth the LORDE? Shulde I not be avenged of euery people, that is like vnto this?

⁴ Trust not in false lyenge wordes, sayenge: here is the temple of the LORDE, here is the temple of the LORDE, here is the temple of the LORDE. ⁵ For yf ye will amende youre waies and councels, yf ye wil iudge right betwixte a man and his neghboure: 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.

²¹ Thus saieth the LORDE of hoostes, the God of Israel: Ye heape vp youre burntoffringes with youre sacrifices, & eate ye flesh. ²² But when I brought youre fathers out of Egipte, I spake no worde vnto them of burntoffringes and sacrifices: ²³ but this I commaunded them, sayenge: herken and obeye my voyce, and I shalbe youre God and ye shal be my people: so that ye walke in all the wayes, which I haue comaunded you, that ye maye prospere.

⁹ therfore shal the wise be confounded, they shalbe afrayed and taken: for lo, they haue cast out the worde of the LORDE: what wy?dome can then be amonge them?

⁵ Yee one dissembleth with another, and they deale with no treuth. They haue practised their tunges to lye, and taken greate paynes to do myschefe.

⁶ But there is none like vnto ye (o LORDE) thou art greate, and greate is the name of yi power.

¹² But they saye: No more of this, we will folowe oure owne ymaginacions, and do euery ma acordinge to the wilfulnesse of his owne mynde.

⁵ I am he that made the earth, the men & ye catell that are vpon the grounde, with my greate power & outstretched arme, & haue geuen it vnto whom it pleased me. ⁶ And now will I delyuer all these londes in to the power of Nabuchodonosor the kinge of Babilon my seruaunt. The beestes also of the felde shal I geue him to do him seruyce.

¹⁸ Thou shewest mercy vpon thousandes, thou recompecest the wickednes of the fathers, in to the besome of the children that come after them. ¹⁹ Thou art the greate and mightie God, whose name is the LORDE of hoostes: greate in councell, and infinite in thought: Thine eyes loke vpon all the wayes of mens children, to rewarde euery one after his waye, and acordinge to the frutes of his inuencions:

²³ And whe Iehudi had red thre or foure leaues therof, he cut the boke in peces with a penne knyfe, and cast it in to the fyre vpo the herth, vntil the boke was all brente in the fyre vpon the herth. ²⁴ Yet no man was abashed therof, or rente his clothes: nether the kynge himselffe, ner his seruauntes, though they herde all these wordes. ²⁵ Neuertheles Elnathan, Dalias ad Gamarias, besoughte the kinge, that he wolde not burne the boke: notwithstondinge ye kynge wolde not heare them, 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. ²⁷ After now that the kynge had brente the boke, ad ye sermos which Baruch wrote at ye mouth off Ieremy: The worde of the LORDE came vnto Ieremy sayenge: ²⁸ Take another boke, and write in it all the forsayde sermons, that were written in the first boke, which Ioachim the kynge off Iuda hath brente. ²⁹ And tell Ioachim the kynge off Iuda, Thus saieth the LORDE: thou hast brente ye boke, and thoughtest within thy selff: Why hast thou written therin, that the kynge off Babilon shal come, & make this lode waist? so that he shall make both people and catel to be out of it? ³⁰ Therfore thus the LORDE saieth, of Ioachim the kynge of Iuda: There shal none of his generacion syt vpon the trone of Dauid. His deed corse shalbe cast out, that the heat off the daye, and the frost of the night maye come vpon him: ³¹ And I will vyset the wickednes of him, of his sede, and of his seruauntes. Morouer all the euell that I haue promised the (though they herde me not) will I bringe vpon them, vpon ye inhabitours of Ierusalem, and vpon all Iuda. ³² Then toke Ieremy another boke, and gaue it Baruch the scrybe the sonne of Nerias, which wrote therin out of the mouth off Ieremy: all the sermons that were in the first boke, which Ioachim the kynge off Iuda dyd burne. And there were added vnto them many mo sermons, then before.

¹⁵ All they that go by the, clappe their hondes at the: hissinge and wagginge their heades vpon the doughter Ierusalem, and saye: is this the cite that men call so fayre, wherin the whole londe reioyseth?

¹⁵ Yf I bringe noysome beestes in to the londe, to waist it vp, and it be so desolate, that no man maye go therin for beestes: ¹⁶ yf these thre men also were in the londe, as truly as I lyue (saieth the LORDE God) they shal saue nether sonnes ner doughters, but be only delyuered them selues: and as for the londe, it shal be waist.

²⁷ Agayne: when the wicked man turneth awaye from his wickednesse, that he hath done, and doth the thinge which is equall and right: he shal saue his soule alyue. ²⁸ For in so moch as he remembreth himself, and turneth him from all the vngodlynes, that he hath vsed, he shall lyue, and not dye.

⁵ & tell the: Thus saieth the LORDE God: In the daye when I chose Israel, and lift vp myne honde vpon the sede of the house of Iacob, & shewed my self vnto them in the londe of Egipte: Yee when I lifte vp myne honde ouer the, and sayde: I am the LORDE youre God,

⁷ Then sayde I vnto them: Cast awaye euery man the abhominacions that he hath before him, and defyle not youre selues with the Idols of Egipte, for I am the LORDE youre God.

¹⁹ for I am the LORDE youre God. But walke in my statutes, kepe my lawes & do them, ²⁰ halowe my Sabbathes: for they are a token betwixte me & you, that ye maye knowe, how yt I am the LORDE.

³⁷ I wil bringe you vnder my iuri?diction, and vnder the bonde of the couenaunt. ³⁸ The forsakers also and the transgressours wil I take from amonge you, & bringe them out of the londe of youre habitacion: as for the londe of Israel, they shall not come in it: that they maye knowe, how that I am the LORDE.

³⁸ & hath delyuered the all thinges, that are amoge ye children off men: the beastes off the felde, ad the foules vnder the heaue, and geuen the dominion ouer them all. Thou art that golde heade.

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.

² but swearinge, lyege, maslaughter, theft and aduoutry haue gotten the ouerhande, & one bloudgiltynesse foloweth another.

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

¹⁴ I am vnto Ephraim as a lyon, and as a lyons whelpe to the house of Iuda. Euen I, I wil spoyle them, & go my waye. I wil take them with me, and no man shal rescue them. ¹⁵ I wil go, and returne to my place, till they waxe faynt, and seke me.

⁶ For I haue pleasure in louynge kyndnesse, and not in offerynge: Yee in the knowlege of God, more then in burntsacrifice.

⁸ I wil come vpon them as a she beer, that is robbed of hir welpes, and I wil breake that stubburne herte of theirs. There wil I deuoure them as a lyon: yee the wylde beastes shal teare them.

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.

¹⁴ so that ye swifte shall not escape, nether the stronge be able to do eny thynge: no, the giaunte shal not saue his owne life.

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

⁷ The LORDE hath sworne agaynst the pryde of Iacob: these workes of theirs will I neuer forget.

¹¹ And shulde not I then haue compassion vpon Niniue that greate cite, wherin there are aboue an C. and xx. thousande personnes, yt knowe not their right hode fro the lefte, besydes moch catell?

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.

¹ Herken now what the LORDE sayeth: Vp, reproue the mountaynes, and let the hilles heare thy voyce.

¹ Herken now what the LORDE sayeth: Vp, reproue the mountaynes, and let the hilles heare thy voyce. ² O Heare the punyshment of the LORDE, ye mountaynes, and ye mightie foundacios of ye earth: for the LORDE wil reproue his people, ad reason with Israel:

² O Heare the punyshment of the LORDE, ye mountaynes, and ye mightie foundacios of ye earth: for the LORDE wil reproue his people, ad reason with Israel: ³ O my people, what haue I done vnto the? or wherin haue I hurte the? geue me answere. 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. ⁶ What acceptable thynge shal I offre vnto the LORDE? shall I bowe mykne to the hye God? Shal I come before him wt brentofferinges, and with calues of a yeare olde? ⁷ Hath the LORDE a pleasure in many thousand rammes, or innumerable streames of oyle? Or shal I geue my firstborne for myne offences, and the frute of my body for the synne of my soule? ⁸ I wil shewe the (O ma) what is good, and what the LORDE requyreth off the: Namely, to do right, to haue pleasure in louynge kyndnesse, to be lowly, and to walke with thy God:

³ yet they saye they do well, when they do euell. As the prince wil, so sayeth the iudge: yt he maye do him a pleasure agayne. The greate ma speaketh what his herte desyreth, & ye hearers alowe him.

⁵ The mountaynes tremble for him, the hilles consume. At the sight of him, the earth quaketh: yee the whole worlde, and all that dwell therin. ⁶ Who maye endure before his wrath? Or who is able to abyde his grymme displeasure? His anger taketh on like fyre, and the harde rockes burst in sunder before him. ⁷ Ful gracious is the LORDE, and a stronge holde in tyme of trouble, he knoweth the that put their trust in him:

¹⁵ Beholde, vpon the mountaynes come the fete of him, that bryngeth good tydinges, & preacheth peace. O Iuda, kepe thy holy dayes, perfourme thy promyses: for Belial shal come no more in the, he is vtterly roted out.

²⁰ But the LORDE in his holy teple is he, whom all the worlde shulde feare.

³ God commeth from Theman, and the holy one from the mount of Pharan. Sela. ⁴ His glory couereth the heauens, and the earth is full of his prayse. His shyne is as ye sonne, & beames of light go out of his hondes, there is his power hid. ⁵ Destruccio goeth before him, and burnynge cressettes go from his fete.

⁵ Considre now youre owne wayes in youre hertes (saieth ye LORDE of hoostes)

¹⁷ O how prosperous and goodly a thynge shall that be? The corne shall make the yongemen chearefull, and the new wyne the maydens.

⁹ And the same thirde parte wil I brynge thorow the fyre, and will clense them, as the syluer is clensed: Yee and trye them, like as golde is tryed. Then shall they call vpon my name, and I wil heare them: I wil saye: it is my people. And they shal saye: LORDE, my God.

⁵ And ye shall fle vnto the valley of my hilles, for the valley off the hylles shal reach vnto Asal. Yee fle shall ye. like as ye fled for the earthquake in the dayes off Osias kynge of Iuda. And the LORDE my God shal come, and all sanctes with him.

¹¹ For from the rysinge vp of ye sonne vnto ye goinge downe of the same, my name is greate amonge the Gentiles: Yee in euery place shal there sacrifice be done, and a clene meatofferinge offred vp vnto my name: for my name is greate amonge the Heithe, sayeth the LORDE of hoostes.

² But who maye abyde the daye of his commynge? Who shalbe able to endure, when he appeareth? For he is like a goldsmythes fyre, ad like wasshers sope. ³ He shall syt him downe to trye and to clense ye syluer, he shal pourge the children of Leui, and purifie them like as golde and syluer: that they maye brynge meatofferinges vnto the LORDE in rightuousnes.

⁵ I will come & punysh you, & I myself wil be a swift wytnes agaynst the witches, agaynst the aduouterers, agaynst false swearers: yee ad agaynst those, that wrogeously kepe backe the hyrelynges dewty: which vexe the wyddowes & the fatherlesse, & oppresse the straunger, and feare not me, sayeth the LORDE of hoostes.

¹ For marck, the daye commeth that shall burne as an oue: and all the proude, yee and all soch as do wickednesse, shalbe straw: and the daye that is for to come, shall burne the vp (sayeth the LORDE of hoostes) so that it shal leaue them nether rote ner braunch.

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

¹¹ Blessed are ye when men reuyle you, and persecute you, and falsly say all manner of yuell saynges against you for my sake.

¹⁶ Let youre light so shyne before men, that they maye se youre good workes, and glorify youre father which is in heauen.

²⁶ Beholde the foules of ye ayer: for they sowe not, nether reepe, nor yet cary in to the barnes: and yet youre heauely father fedeth the. Are ye not moch better the they?

³ Why seist thou a moate in thy brothers eye, and perceauest not the beame yt is yn thine awne eye? ⁴ Or why saiest thou to yi brother: holde, I wil plucke the moate out of thyne eye, and beholde, a beame is in thyne awne eye. ⁵ Ypocryte, fyrst cast out the beame out of thyne awne eye, and then shalt thou se clearly, to plucke out the moate out of thy brothers eye.

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

²¹ The brother shall delyuer the brother to deeth, and the father the sonne. And the chyldren shall aryse agaynst their fathers & mothers, & shall helpe them to deeth:

²⁹ Are not two sparowes solde for a farthinge? Yet doth there none of the light vpon the groude without youre father. ³⁰ And now are all ye hayres of youre heade tolde. ³¹ Feare ye not therfore: ye are of more value then many sparowes.

³⁰ and saye: Yf we had bene in oure fathers tyme, we wolde not haue bene partakers with them in the bloude of the prophetes.

³¹ And he shal sende his angels with ye greate voyce of a trompe, & they shal gather together his chosen from the foure wyndes, from one ende of the heauen to the other.

³² And all people shalbe gathered before him: and he shal separate them one from another as a shepherde deuydeth the shepe from ye goates.

²⁸ this is my bloude of the new testament, that shalbe shed for many for the remission of synnes.

³⁰ For myne eyes haue sene thy Sauioure,

²⁴ Consydre the rauens, they nether sowe ner reape, they haue also nether stoare house ner barne, and yet God fedeth them. But how moch better are ye then the foules?

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?

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.

⁴⁴ And it came so, that he wrestled with death, and prayed the longer. And his sweate was like droppes of bloude, runnynge downe to the grounde.

⁶⁵ And many other blasphemies sayde they vnto hi.

²⁰ Whosoeuer doth euell, hateth the light, and cometh not to the light, that his dedes shulde not be reproued.

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

²² For the father iudgeth no man, but hath geuen all iudgmet vnto the sonne, ²³ that they all might honoure the sonne, euen as they honoure ye father. Who so honoureth not the sonne, the same honoureth not the father, which hath sent him.

¹⁷ Yf eny man wyl do his will, he shal knowe, whether this doctryne be of God, or whether I speake of my self.

³¹ Yf ye contynue in my worde, then are ye my very disciples, ³² and ye shall knowe the trueth, and the trueth shal make you fre.

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

² a deuoute man, & one that feared God wt all his house, & gaue moch almesse to ye people, and prayed God allwaye. ³ The same sawe in a vision openly (aboute the nyenth houre of the daye) an angell of God entringe in to him, and sayenge vnto him: Cornelius. ⁴ He loked vpon him, and was afrayed, and sayde: LORDE, what is it? He sayde vnto him: Thy prayers & thine allmesses are come vp in to remebraunce before God.

¹⁴ he shal tell ye wordes, wherby thou and all thy house shal be saued.

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.

²⁵ But at mydnight prayed Paul and Sylas, and praysed God. And the presoners herde them.

²⁵ nether is he worshipped with mens handes, as though he had nede of eny man, seynge he himself geueth life and breth vnto all men euery where:

¹³ But certayne of the vagabounde Iewes which were coniurers, vndertoke to name ye name of the LORDE Iesus, ouer those that had euell spretes, and sayde: We charge you by Iesus whom Paul preacheth. ¹⁴ They were seuen sonnes of one Sceua a Iewe the hye prest, which dyd so. ¹⁵ The euell sprete answered, and sayde: Iesus I knowe, and Paul I knowe, but who are ye? ¹⁶ And the ma in who the euell sprete was, ranne vpon them, and ouercame them, and cast them vnder him, so that they fled out of the same house naked and wounded.

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

³² which men, though they knowe the righteousnes of God (that they which do soch, are worthy of death) yet not onely do the same, but also haue pleasure in those that do the.

⁴ Or despysest thou the riches of his goodnesse, pacience, and loge sufferinge? Knowest thou not, that ye louynge kyndnesse of God leadeth the to repentaunce? ⁵ But thou after thine harde and impenitent hert, heapest vnto thy selfe a treasure of wrath, agaynst the daye of wrath and of the openynge of the righteous iudgment of God,

⁵ But thou after thine harde and impenitent hert, heapest vnto thy selfe a treasure of wrath, agaynst the daye of wrath and of the openynge of the righteous iudgment of God,

¹⁷ But take hede, thou art called a Iewe, and trustest in the lawe, & makest thy boost of God, ¹⁸ and knowest his will: & for so moch as thou art enfourmed out of ye lawe, ¹⁹ thou prouest what is best to do, and presumest to be a leader of the blynde: a lighte of them yt are in darcknes: ²⁰ an enformer of ye vnwyse: a teacher of ye symple: which hast the ensample of knowlege & of the trueth in the lawe. ²¹ Now teachest thou other, and teachest not thy selfe. Thou preachest that a man shulde not steale, and thou stealest.

²¹ Now teachest thou other, and teachest not thy selfe. Thou preachest that a man shulde not steale, and thou stealest. ²² Thou sayest, that a man shulde not breake wedlocke, and thou breakest wedlocke. Thou abhorrest ymages, and robbest God of his honoure.

²² Thou sayest, that a man shulde not breake wedlocke, and thou breakest wedlocke. Thou abhorrest ymages, and robbest God of his honoure. ²³ Thou makest thy boost of the lawe, and thorow breakynge of the lawe thou dishonorest God.

²³ Thou makest thy boost of the lawe, and thorow breakynge of the lawe thou dishonorest God. ²⁴ For thorow you is the name of God euell spoken of amonge the Gentyles, as it is wrytten.

¹³ Their throte is an open sepulcre, with their tunges they haue disceaued, the poyson off Aspes is vnder their lippes. ¹⁴ Their mouth is full of cursynge and bytternesse.

¹ I beseke you brethre by the mercyfulnesse of God, that ye geue ouer youre bodies for a sacrifice, yt is quycke holy, and acceptable vnto God, which is yor reasonable seruynge off God.

⁹ For therto dyed Christ, and rose agayne, and reuyued, that he mighte be LORDE both of deed and quycke. ¹⁰ But why iudgest thou yi brother? Or thou other, why despysest thou yi brother? We shal all be broughte before ye iudgmet seate of Christ. ¹¹ For it is wrytte: As truly as I lyue, (sayeth the LORDE) all knees shal bowe vnto me, & all tuges shal knowlege vnto God. ¹² Thus shal euery one of vs geue acomptes for himselfe vnto God.

⁶ that ye beynge of one mynde, maye wt one mouth prayse God the father of oure LORDE Iesu Christ.

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.

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

² Do ye not knowe that the sayntes shal iudge the worlde? Yf the worlde then shalbe iudged off you, are ye not good ynough to iudge small matters? ³ Knowe ye not that we shal iudge the angels? how moch more thinges that pertayne to the teporall life?

²⁷ but I tame my body, and brynge it in to subieccion, lest whan I preach vnto other: I my selfe be a cast awaye.

²⁶ For the earth is the LORDES, and all yt therin is. ²⁷ Yf eny of the yt beleue not, byd you to a feast, and yf ye be disposed to go, what soeuer is set before you, that eate, axinge no question for conscience sake. ²⁸ But yf eny man saye vnto you: This is offred vnto Idols, the eate not of it, for his sake that shewed it, and for hurtinge of conscience. (The earth is the LORDES and all that therin is.)

¹⁰ For we must all appeare before the iudgment seate of Christ, yt euery one maye receaue in his body, acordinge to yt he hath done, whether it be good or bad.

²⁴ and they praysed God in me.

¹⁶ And as many as walke acordynge to this rule, peace and mercy be vpon the, and vpon Israel of God.

¹¹ and haue no fellishippe with ye vnfrutefull workes of darknes, but rather rebuke the. ¹² For it is shame euen to name those thinges, which are done of them in secrete. ¹³ But all thinges are manifest, whan they are rebuked of the lighte. For what so euer is manifest, that same is lighte.

²⁷ Onely let youre conuersacion be as it becommeth the Gospell of Christ, that whether I come & se you, or els be absent, I maye yet heare of you that ye cotynue in one sprete and one soule, labourynge (as we do) to mayntayne the faith of the Gospell,

¹³ that yor hertes maye be stable and vnblameable in holynes before God oure father, at the commynge of oure LORDE Iesus Christ with all his sayntes.

¹⁶ For the LORDE himselfe shal come downe fro heauen with a shoute and voyce of ye Archangell and with the trompe of God, and the deed in Christ shal aryse first: ¹⁷ then shal we which lyue and remayne, be caught vp wt them also in the cloudes, to mete the LORDE in the ayre, and so shal we euer be with the LORDE.

¹⁸ in all thinges be thankfull: for this is the wyll of God in Christ Iesu towarde you.

⁸ and with flammynge fyre, to geue vengeauce vnto them that knowe not God, and to them that obeye not the Gospell of oure LORDE Iesus Christ. ⁹ Which shalbe punyshed with euerlastinge damnacion, from ye presence of the LORDE, and from the glory of his power,

¹ We beseke you brethren by the commynge of or LORDE Iesus Christ, and in that we shal assemble vnto him,

¹⁰ and with all deceauablenes of vnrighteousnes amonge them that perishe, because they receaued not the loue of ye trueth, that they might haue bene saued. ¹¹ Therfore shal God sende them stroge delusion, that they shulde beleue lyes, ¹² yt all they might be daned, which beleued not the trueth, but had pleasure in vnrighteousnes.

¹¹ Euen so must their wyues be honest, not euell speakers, but sober and faithfull in all thinges.

²² Laye hondes sodenly on no ma, nether be partaker of other mes synnes. Kepe yi selfe pure.

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

³ And the elder wemen likewyse that they shewe them selues as it becommeth holynes, that they be no false accusers, not geuen to moch wyne, that they teach honest thinges,

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

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 onely with meates and drynkes, and dyuerse wasshinges, and iustifienges of the flesh, which were ordeyned vnto the tyme of reformacion. ¹¹ But Christ beynge an hye prest of good thinges to come, came by a greater and a more perfecte Tabernacle, not made with handes, that is to saye, not of this maner buyldynge: ¹² nether by the bloude of goates or calues: but by his owne bloude entred he once for all in to the holy place, and hath founde eternall redempcion. ¹³ For yff the bloude off oxen and off goates, and the asshes off the cowe whan it is sprenkled, haloweth the vncleane as touchynge the purificacion of the flesh, ¹⁴ How moch more shal the bloude of Christ (which thorow the eternall sprete offred him selfe without spot vnto God) pourge oure conscience from deed workes, for to serue the lyuynge God? ¹⁵ And for this cause is he ye mediatour of the new Testament, that thorow death which chaunsed for the redempcion of those trasgressions (that were vnder the first Testament) they which were called mighte receaue the promes of eternall inheritaunce. ¹⁶ For where soeuer is a Testament, there must also be the death of him that maketh the testament. ¹⁷ For a Testamet taketh auctorite whan men are deed: for it is no value, as longe as he that made it is alyue. ¹⁸ For the which cause that first Testamet also was not ordeyned without bloude. ¹⁹ For whan all the commaundementes (acordinge to the lawe) were red of Moses vnto all the people, he toke ye bloude of calues and of goates, with water and purple woll and ysope, and sprenkled the boke and all the people, ²⁰ sayenge: This is the bloude of the Testament, which God hath appoynted vnto you. ²¹ And the Tabernakle and all the vessels of the Gods seruyce sprenkled he with bloude likewyse. ²² And allmost all thinges are pourged with bloude after the lawe: and without sheddynge of bloude is no remyssion. ²³ It is necessary then, that the symilitude of heauenly thinges be purified with soche: but ye heauenly thinges themselues are purified with better sacrifices, then are those.

⁴ For it is vnpossible yt the bloude of oxen and of goates shulde take awaye synnes.

⁴ For it is vnpossible yt the bloude of oxen and of goates shulde take awaye synnes. ⁵ Wherfore whan he commeth in to the worlde, he sayeth: Sacrifice & offerynge thou woldest not haue, but a body hast thou ordeyned me.

⁵ Wherfore whan he commeth in to the worlde, he sayeth: Sacrifice & offerynge thou woldest not haue, but a body hast thou ordeyned me. ⁶ Burntofferynges and synneofferynges hast thou not alowed.

⁶ Burntofferynges and synneofferynges hast thou not alowed. ⁷ Then sayde I: Lo, I come. I the begynnynge of the boke it is wrytten of me, that I shulde do yi wyll O God. ⁸ Aboue wha he had sayde: Sacrifice and offerynge, and burntsacrifices & synofferynges thou woldest not haue, nether hast alowed (which yet are offered after ye lawe). ⁹ The sayde he: Lo, I come to do wil thy O God: there taketh he awaye the first, to stablysshe the latter: ¹⁰ In the which wyll we are sanctified by the offerynge vp of the body of Iesus Christ once for all.

²⁸ He yt despyseth Moses lawe, dyeth without mercy vnder two or thre witnesses: ²⁹ Of how moch sorer punyshment (suppose ye) shal he be counted worthy, which treadeth vnder fote the sonne of God, and couteth the bloude of ye Testamet (wherby he is sanctified) an unwholy thinge, & doth dishonoure to the sprete of grace?

¹⁸ For ye are not come to ye mout that can be touched and burneth with fyre, nether yet to myst and darcknes, and tempest of wedder, ¹⁹ nether to the sounde of the trompe, and ye voyce of wordes: which they that herde, wysshed awaye, that the worde shulde not be spoken to them, ²⁰ for they were not able to abyde that which was spoken. And yf a beest had touched the mountayne, it must haue bene stoed, or thrust thorow with a darte. ²¹ And so terrible was the sighte which appeared, that Moses sayde: I feare and quake. ²² But ye are come to the mount Sion, and to the cite of the lyuynge God, to the celestiall Ierusalem, and to the multitude of many thousande angels, ²³ and vnto the congregacion of the first borne, which are wrytten in heauen, and to God the iudge of all, and to the spretes of iust and perfecte men, ²⁴ and to Iesus the mediatoure of the new Testament, and to the sprenklynge off bloude, that speaketh better then the bloude of Abel.

²⁴ and to Iesus the mediatoure of the new Testament, and to the sprenklynge off bloude, that speaketh better then the bloude of Abel. ²⁵ Se that ye despyse not him that speaketh vnto you: for yf they escaped not which refused him that spake on earth, moch more shal we not escape, yf we turne awaye from him that speaketh from heaue: ²⁶ whose voyce shoke the earth at that tyme. But now promyseth he, & sayeth: Yet once more wyl I shake, not the earth onely, but also heauen.

²⁹ For oure God is a consumynge fyre.

⁴ Let wedlocke be had in pryce in all poyntes, & let ye chamber be vndefyled. For whorekepers and aduouterers God wil iudge.

¹⁵ Let vs therfore by him offre allwayes vnto God the sacrifice of prayse: that is to saye, the frute of those lippes which confesse his name.

²⁰ The God of peace (that broughte agayue fro the deed oure LORDE Iesus the greate shepherde of the shepe thorow the bloude of the euerlastinge Testament)

⁵ Euen so the toge is a lyttell member, and bosteth great thinges. Beholde how gret a thinge a lyttell fyre kyndleth, ⁶ and the tonge is fyre, and a worlde of wyckednes. So is the tonge set amonge oure membres, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth a fyre all that we haue of nature, and is it selfe set a fyre euen of hell. ⁷ All the natures of beastes, and of byrdes, and of serpentes, and thinges of the see, are meked and tamed of the nature of ma. ⁸ But the toge can no man tame. Yt is an vnruely euell full of deedly poysou. ⁹ Therwith blesse we God the father, and therwith cursse we men which are made after the similitude of God.

¹³ So can no fountayne geue bothe salt water and fresshe also. If eny man be wyse and endued with learnynge amonge you, let him shewe the workes of his good couersacion in meknes that is coupled with wissdome.

¹³ Yf eny of you be euell vexed, let hi praye. Yf eny of you be mery, let him singe Psalmes.

¹⁵ but as he which hath called you is holy, eue so be ye holy also in all youre conuersacion:

⁵ And ye also as lyuynge stones are made a spirituall house, and an holy presthode, to offre vp spirituall sacrifices, acceptable vnto God by Iesus Christ.

⁹ But ye are that chosen generacion, that kyngly presthode, that holy nacion, that peculier people, yt ye shulde shewe the vertues of him, which hath called you out of darknesse in to his maruelous lighte:

¹¹ Yf eny ma speake, let hi speake it as ye wordes of God. Yf eny man haue an office, let him execute it as out of the power yt God mynistreth vnto hi, yt God maye be praysed in all thinges thorow Iesus Christ, To who be honor and domynion for euer and euer Amen.

¹⁴ Yf ye be reuyled for ye name of Christ, blessed are ye, for ye sprete (which is ye sprete of glory & of God) resteth vpon you. On their parte he is euell spoken of, but on yor parte he is praysed.

¹⁵ and haue forsaken the righte waye, and are gone astraye: folowinge the waye of Balaam the sonne of Bosor, which loued the rewarde of vnrighteousnes:

⁹ The LORDE is not slacke to fulfyll his promes (as some me counte slacknesse) but is paciet to vs warde, and wyl not that eny ma shulde be lost, but that euery man shulde amende himselfe.

¹⁴ Enoch the seuenth from Adam prophecied before of suche, saienge: Beholde, the LORDE shal come with thousandes of sayntes,

¹⁶ And he had in his right honde seue starres. And out of his mouth went a sharpe two edged swearde. And his face shone euen as the sonne in his strength.

¹⁹ As many as I loue, I rebuke & chasten. Be feruent therfore and repent.

¹⁶ and sayde to the hylles, and rockes: fall on vs, and hyde vs from the presence of him that sytteth on the seate, and from the wrath of the lambe, ¹⁷ for the grete daye of his wrath is come. And who can endure it?

¹⁰ And I harde a lowde voyce, which sayde in heauen: Now is saluacion, and strength and the kyngdome become oure Gods, and ye power his Christes: For he is cast downe, which accused them before God daye and night.

⁵ And I herde an angel saye: LORDE which art and wast, thou art righteous and holy, because thou hast geue soche iudgmentes, ⁶ for they shed the bloude of sayntes, and prophetes, and therfore hast thou geuen them bloude to drynke: for they are worthy. ⁷ And I herde another angell out of the aulter, saye: euen so LORDE God almighty, true and righteous are thy iudgmentes.

² for true and righteous are his iudgmentes, because he hath iudged the greate whore (which did corrupt ye earth with her fornicacion) and hath auenged the bloud of his seruautes of her hond.

¹¹ And I sawe a gret whyte seate, and him that sat on it, from whose face fled awaye both the earth and heauen, and their place was nomore founde. ¹² And I sawe the deed, both gret and small stonde before God: And the bokes were opened, and another boke was opened, which is (the boke) of life, and the deed were iudged of tho thinges which were wrytten in the bokes accordinge to their dedes:

⁸ But the fearefull and vnbeleuynge, and the abhominable, and murthurers, and whormongers, and sorcerers, and ydolaters, & all lyars, shal haue their parte in the lake, that burneth with fyre and brymstone, which is the seconde death.

²³ and the cite hath no nede of the Sonne, nether of the mone to lyghten it. For the bryghtnes of God doth light it: and the lambe is the lyght of it.

²⁰ He which testifyeth these thinges, sayth: Yee I come quyckly, Amen. Euen so: come LORDE Iesu.
