⁹ Thou shalt make the like a fyre ouen in tyme of thy wrath: the LORDE shal destroye the in his displeasure, & the fyre shall consume them.

²⁵ O let the not saye in their hertes: there there, so wolde we haue it. O let them not saye: we haue ouercome him.

¹² As for wicked doers, they fall, they are cast downe, & are not able to stode.

³² The lawe of his God is in his hert, therfore shal not his fotesteppes slyde.

¹⁰ Which smote Egipte with their firstborne, for his mercy endureth for euer.

¹⁵ But as for Pharao and his hoost, he ouerthrewe them in the reed see, for his mercy endureth for euer.

¹⁷ Which smote greate kynges, for his mercy endureth for euer. ¹⁸ Yee and slewe mightie kynges, for his mercy endureth for euer. ¹⁹ Sihon kynge of the Amorites, for his mercy endureth for euer. ²⁰ And Og the kynge of Basan, for his mercy endureth for euer.

² I wil worshippe towarde thy holy teple, and prayse thy name because of thy louynge kyndnesse and treuth, for thou hast magnified thy worde, acordynge vnto thy greate name.

¹⁶ my dayes were fashioned, when as yet there was not one of them

² Which ymagin myschefe in their hertes, & stere vp strife all the daye longe.

¹² And of thy goodnesse scater myne enemies abrode, and destroye all them that vexe my soule, for I am thy seruaunt.

¹⁴ The LORDE vpholdeth all soch as shulde fall, and lifteth vp all those that be downe.

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.

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. ⁶ Vse not thy mouth to cause yi flesh for to synne, yt thou saye not before the angell: my foolishnesse is in ye faute. For the God wil be angrie at thy voyce, and destroye all ye workes of thine handes.

⁸ Nether is there eny ma yt hath power ouer ye sprete, to kepe stil ye sprete, ner to haue eny power in the tyme of death: It is not he also that can make an ende of the batayll, nether maye vngodlynes delyuer him yt medleth withall.

⁵ It is to the that I crie (o house of Iacob) vp, let us walke in the light of the LORDE.

⁹ Go together ye people, and gather you, herken to all ye of farre countrees. Mustre you, and gather you: mustre you and gather you, ¹⁰ take youre councel together, yet must youre councel come to nought: go in honde withal, yet shal it not prospere. Excepte Emanuel: (that is God) be with

¹ So that then thou shalt saye: O LORDE, I thanke the, for thou wast displeased at me, but thou hast refrayned thy wrath, and hast mercy vpon me.

¹⁵ For ye coforte yor selues thus: Tush, death & we are at a poynte, & as for hell, we haue made a codicion with it: that though there breake out eny sore plage, it shal not come vpon vs. For with disceate wil we escape, and with nymblenes will we defende or selues.

²⁰ Then shal the furious people ceasse, and ye mockers shal be put awaye, and all they yt do wronge shalbe rooted out, ²¹ soch as laboure to drawe me vnto synne: and yt disceaue him, which reproueth them in the gate, & soch as turne good personnes to vanite.

³ Now the Egiptians are men, and not God, and their horses flesh and not sprete. And as soone as the LORDE stretcheth out his honde, then shal the helper fall, and he that shulde haue bene helped, and shal altogether be destroyed.

³ and sayde: Remembre (o LORDE) that I haue walked before the in treuth and a stedfast hert, and haue done the thinge that is pleasaunt to the. And Ezechias wepte sore.

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

⁷ Therfore hercken vnto me, ye yt haue pleasure in rightuousnes, thou people that bearest my lawe in thine herte. Feare not the curse of men, be not afrayde of their blasphemies & reuylinges: ⁸ for wormes & mothes shal eat the vp like clothe & woll. But my rightuousnesse shal endure for euer, & my sauynge health from generacion to generacion.

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

¹⁵ Beholde, ye aleaunt yt was farre fro the, shal dwell wt the: & he yt was somtyne a straunger vnto the, shalbe ioyned wt the:

¹⁵ For thus saieth the hie and excellet, euen he that dwelleth in euerlastingnesse, whose name is the holyone: I dwel hie aboue and in the sanctuary, & with him also, yt is of a cotrite and huble sprete: yt I maye heale a troubled mynde, and a cotrite herte.

⁹ In their troubles he forsoke the not, but the angel that went forth from his presence, delyuered them: Of very loue & kindnesse that he had vnto them, redemed he them. He hath borne them, and caried them vp euer, sence the worlde begane.

¹⁰ Then come ye, and stonde before me in this house (which hath my name geuen vnto it) and saye: Tush, we are absolued quyte, though we haue done all these abhominacions.

²⁵ Poure out thy indignacion rather vpon the Getiles, that knowe ye not, and vpon the people that call not on thy name: And that because they haue consumed, deuoured and destroyed Iacob, and haue roted out his glory.

¹⁸ Then sayde they: come, let vs ymagin somthinge agaynst this Ieremy. Yee this dyd euen the prestes, to whom ye lawe was commytted: the Senatours, yt were the wysest: and the prophetes, which wanted not ye worde off God. Come (sayde they) let vs cut out his tuge, and let vs not regarde his wordes. ¹⁹ Considre me (o LORDE) and heare the voyce of myne enemies. ²⁰ Do they not recompence euell for good, when they dygg a pyt for my soule? Remembre, how that I stode before the, to speake for the, ad to turne awaye thy wrath from them. ²¹ Therfore let their childre dye of hunger, and let them be oppressed with the swearde. Let their wyues be robbed of their childre, and become wyddowes: let their hu?bodes be slayne, let their yonge men be kylled with the swearde in the felde. ²² Let the noyse be herde out of their houses, when the murtherer cometh sodenly vpon them: For they haue digged a pit to take me, and layed snares for my fete. ²³ Yet LORDE, thou knowest all their coucell, that they haue deuysed, to slaye me. And therfore forgeue them not their wickednes, and let not their synne be put out of thy sight: but let them be iudged before the as the giltie: This shalt thou do vnto the in ye tyme of thy indignacion.

¹⁰ For why, I herde so many derisios and blasphemies, yee euen of myne owne companyons, and off soch as were conuersaunte with me: which wente aboute, to make me afrayed sayenge: vpon him, let vs go vpon him, to feare him, and make him holde his tonge: yt we maye ouercome him, and be avenged off him.

³ Thou hast cried vnto me, and I haue herde the: I haue shewed greate and hie thinges, which were vnknowne vnto you.

² The LORDE hath cast downe all the glory of Iacob without eny fauoure: All the stronge places of the doughter Iuda hath he broken in his wrath, & throwne them downe to the grounde: hir kyngdome & hir prynces hath he suspended.

⁵ The LORDE is become, like as it were an enemie, he hath cast downe Israel & all his places: yee all his stronge holdes hath he destroyed, and fylled the doughter of Iuda wt moch sorow and heuynesse.

¹⁶ All thine enemies gape vpon the, whisperinge and bytinge their teth, sayenge: let vs deuoure, for the tyme that we loked for, is come: we haue founde and sene it.

¹⁸ therof O kinge, God the hyest gaue vnto Nabuchodonosor thy father, ye dignite of a kynge, wt worshipe & honor:

⁴ Wherfore the prynces and lordes sought, to pyke out in Daniel some quarel agaynst the kyngdome: yet coude they fynde none occasion ner fawte vpon him. For why: he was so faythful, yt there was no blame ner dishonesty founde in him.

⁸ Israel shall perish, the Gentiles shall entreate him as a foule vessel.

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?

¹³ Thine eyes are clene, thou mayest not se euell, thou canst not beholde ye thinge that is wicked. Wherfore then dost thou loke vpon the vngodly, and holdest thy tunge, when the wicked deuoureth the man that is better the himself?

¹⁶ But they that feare God, saye thus one to another: The LORDE cosidreth and heareth it. Yee it is before him a memoriall boke written for soch as feare the LORDE, and remembre his name.

³⁰ And now are all ye hayres of youre heade tolde.

¹⁵ Then wente the Pharises, and toke councell, how they might tangle him in his wordes,

³⁵ Heauen and earth shal perishe, but my wordes shal not perishe.

³ Then assembled together the hye prestes and the scrybes, and the elders of the people in to the palace of the hye prest which was called Caiphas, ⁴ and helde a councell, how they might take Iesus by disceate, and kyll him.

⁵⁷ The all the disciples left him, and fled. But they that toke Iesus, led him to Caiphas the hye prest, where the scrybes and the elders were gathered together.

⁶¹ & spake: He sayde: I can breake downe the temple of God, and buylde it agayne in thre dayes.

¹ Vpon the morow, all the hye prestes and elders of the people helde a councell agaynst Iesus, that they might put him to death,

⁵⁴ and layed wayte for him, and sought to hunte out some thinge out of his mouth, that they might accuse him.

⁴ But I saye vnto you my frendes: Be not afrayed of them that kyll the body, and after that haue nomore that they can do. ⁵ But I wil shewe you, whom ye shal feare. Feare him, which after he hath kylled, hath power also to cast in to hell: Yee I saye vnto you: Feare him.

²⁰ And they watched hi, & sent forth spyes, which shulde fayne the selues perfecte, that they might take him in his wordes, to delyuer him vnto the power and auctorite of ye debite.

³ But Satan was entred in to Iudas, named Iscarioth (which was of ye nombre of ye twolue) ⁴ and he wete his waye, and talked with the hye prestes and with ye officers, how he wolde betraye him vnto them. ⁵ And they were glad, and promysed to geue him money. ⁶ And he cosented, & sought oportunite, yt he might betraye hi without eny rumoure.

¹⁹ Iesus answered & sayde vnto the: Breake downe this temple, and in thre dayes wil I set it vp agayne.

¹² Then spake Iesus agayne vnto them, and sayde: I am the light of the worlde. He that foloweth me, shal not walke in darknesse, but shal haue the light of life.

³⁵ Yf he call them Goddes, vnto whom the worde of God came (& the scripture can not be broke)

³⁵ Then sayde Iesus vnto them: The light is yet a litle whyle with you, walke whyle ye haue the light, that the darknesse fall not vpo you. He that walketh in the darknesse, woteth not whither he goeth. ³⁶ Beleue ye on the light, whyle ye haue it, that ye maye be the children of light. These thinges spake Iesus, and departed awaye, and hyd himself from them.

⁶ Now whan Iesus sayde vnto the: I am he, they wete bacwardes, and fell to the grounde.

⁵ And it chaunced on ye morow, that their rulers and Elders and scrybes ⁶ (as Annas ye hye prest and Caiphas, and Ihon & Alexander, and as many as were of the hye prestes kynred) gathered them selues together at Ierusalem,

²⁵ that by the mouth of Dauid thy seruaut hast sayde: Why do the Heythe rage? and ye people ymagin vayne thinges? ²⁶ The kynges of the earth stonde vp, and the prynces haue gathered them selues together agaynst ye LORDE, and agaynst his. Christ. ²⁷ Of a trueth agaynst thy holy childe Iesus, whom thou hast anoynted, both Herode & Pontius Pilate with the Heythen and people of Israel, haue gathered the selues together,

¹² Now whan it was daye, certayne of the Iewes gathered them selues together, and made a vowe nether to eate ner drynke, tyll they had kylled Paul. ¹³ They were mo then fortye, which had made this conspyracion. ¹⁴ These came to the hye prestes and Elders, and sayde: We haue bounde oure selues wt a vowe, that we wil eate nothinge, tyll we haue slayne Paul.

³¹ What shal we saye then vnto these thinges? Yff God be on oure syde, who can be agaynst vs.

³¹ What shal we saye then vnto these thinges? Yff God be on oure syde, who can be agaynst vs. ³² Which spared not his owne sonne, but hath geuen him for vs all: how shal he not with him geue vs all thinges also? ³³ Who wyl laye enythinge to ye charge of Gods chosen? Here is God that maketh righteous, ³⁴ who wil then condemne? Here is Christ that is deed, yee rather which is raysed vp agayne, which is also on ye righte hande of God, and maketh intercession for vs. ³⁵ Who will separate vs from the loue of God? Trouble? or anguysh? or persecucio? or honger? or nakednesse? or parell? or swerde? ³⁶ As it is wrytten: For thy sake are we kylled all the daye longe, we are counted as shepe appoynted to be slayne. ³⁷ Neuerthelesse in all these thinges we ouercome farre, for his sake that loued vs. ³⁸ For sure I am, that nether death ner life, nether angell, ner rule, nether power, nether thinges present, nether thinges to come, ³⁹ nether heyth, ner loweth, nether eny other creature shalbe able to separate vs from the loue of God, which is in Christ Iesu oure LORDE.

⁵⁴ But whan this corruptible shal put on vncorrupcion, and this mortall shal put on immortalite, the shal the worde be fulfylled that is wrytte:

⁸ Brethren we wolde not haue you ignoraunt of oure trouble, which happened vnto vs in Asia, for we were greued out off measure passynge strength, so that we euen dispared of life, ⁹ and had concluded in oure selues yt we must nedes dye. But this was done, because we shulde not put oure trust in oure selues, but in God, which rayseth vp the deed to life agayne: ¹⁰ which delyuered vs from so greate a death, and yet delyuereth daylie, On whom we trust, that he wil delyuer vs here after also,

¹⁰ which delyuered vs from so greate a death, and yet delyuereth daylie, On whom we trust, that he wil delyuer vs here after also,

⁵ For whan we were come into Macedonia, oure flesh had no rest, but we were troubled on euery syde: outwarde was fightinge, inwarde was feare. ⁶ Neuertheles God that comforteth the abiecte, comforted vs by the comynge of Titus.

²⁶ I haue oft iourneyed: I haue bene oft in parels of waters, in parels amonge murthurers, in parels amonge the Iewes, in parels amonge the Heythen, in parels in cities, in parels in the wylderners, in parels vpon the See, in parels amonge false brethre,

⁸ For sometyme ye were darknesse, but now are ye lighte in the LORDE. Walke as the children of lighte. ⁹ (For the frute of the sprete is all maner of goodnes, and righteousnes and trueth:) ¹⁰ and prone what is pleasinge vnto the LORDE, 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. ¹⁴ Therfore sayeth he: Awake thou that slepest, and stonde vp fro the deed, and Christ shal geue the lighte.

¹⁰ and to loke for his sonne from heaue: whom he raysed vp from the deed, euen Iesus, which hath delyuered vs fro the wrath to come.

¹⁵ & that he mighte delyuer the which thorow feare of death were all their life tyme in dauger of bodage.

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

⁸ By faith Abraham (wha he was called) obeyed, to go out in to the place, which he shulde afterwarde receaue to inheritaunce: and he wente out, not knowynge whither he shulde go.

¹³ All these dyed acordinge to faith, and receaued not the promyses, but sawe the afarre off, and beleued them, and saluted them: and cofessed, that they were straungers & pilgrems vpo earth.

³⁸ which (men) the worlde was not worthy of: they wandred aboute in wyldernesses, vpon mountaynes, in dennes and caues of the earth.

⁶ so that we maye boldely saye: The LORDE is my helper, and I wyl not feare what man maye do vnto me.

²⁰ let ye same knowe that he which conuerted the synner from goynge astraye out off his waye, shal saue a soule fro death, and shal hyde the multitude of synnes.

⁴ wherby the excellent and most greate promyses are geue vnto vs: namely, that ye by the same shulde be partakers of the godly nature, yf ye flye the corrupte lust of the worlde:

¹⁶ yee speakinge therof allmost in all Epistles, wherin are many thinges harde to be vnderstonde, which they that are vnlerned and vnstable, peruerte, as they do the other scriptures also, to their awne danacion.

¹⁷ For the labe which is in the myddes of the seate, shal fede them, and shal leade them vnto fountaynes of lyuynge water, and God shal wype awaye all teares from their eyes.

¹⁴ For they are the spretes of deuels workynge myracles, to go out vnto the kynges of the earth and of the whole worlde, to gaddre them to the battayle of that gret daye of God allmighty.

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:

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. ²⁴ And ye people which are saued, shal walke in the light of it: and the kynges of the earth shal brynge their glory vnto it.
