for the iniquities of their fathers shall they pine away with them also. ⁴⁰ Then they shall confesse their iniquitie, and the wickednes of their fathers for their trespasse, which they haue trespassed against mee, and also because they haue walked stubburnly against me. ⁴¹ Therefore I wil walke stubburnly against them, and bring them into the land of their enemies: so then their vncircumcised hearts shalbe humbled, and then they shalt willingly beare the punishment of their iniquitie. ⁴² Then I will remember my couenant with Iaakob, and my couenant also with Izhak, and also my couenant

⁵⁰ We haue therefore brought a present vnto the Lord, what euery man found of iewels of golde, bracelets, and cheines, rings, eare ringes, and ornaments of the legges, to make an atonement for our soules before the Lord. ⁵¹ And Moses and Eleazar the Priest tooke the golde of them, and all wrought iewels, ⁵² And all the golde of the offring that they offered vp to the Lord (of the captaines ouer thousands and hundreds) was sixteene thousande seuen hundreth and fiftie shekels, ⁵³ (For the men of warre had spoyled, euery man for him selfe) ⁵⁴ And Moses and Eleazar the Priest tooke the golde of the captaines ouer the thousandes, and ouer the hundreds, and brought it into the Tabernacle of the Congregation, for a memoriall of the children of Israel before the Lord.

⁹ But take heede to thy selfe, and keepe thy soule diligently, that thou forget not the thinges which thine eyes haue seene, and that they depart not out of thine heart, all the dayes of thy life: but teach them thy sonnes, and thy sonnes sonnes:

²³ Take heede vnto your selues, least ye forget the couenant of the Lord your God which hee made with you, and least ye make you any grauen image, or likenes of any thing, as the Lord thy God hath charged thee.

⁶ And these wordes which I commaund thee this day, shalbe in thine heart. ⁷ And thou shalt rehearse them continually vnto thy children, and shalt talke of them when thou tariest in thine house, and as thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest downe, and when thou risest vp: ⁸ And thou shalt binde them for a signe vpon thine hand, and they shalbe as frontlets betweene thine eyes.

⁸ And thou shalt binde them for a signe vpon thine hand, and they shalbe as frontlets betweene thine eyes. ⁹ Also thou shalt write them vpon ye postes of thine house, and vpon thy gates.

²⁶ Bring not therefore abomination into thine house, lest, thou be accursed like it, but vtterly abhorre it, and count it most abominable: for it is accursed.

¹ Ye shall keepe all the commandements which I command thee this day, for to doe them: that ye may liue, and be multiplied, and goe in, and possesse the land which the Lord sware vnto your fathers.

⁵ Knowe therefore in thine heart, that as a man nourtereth his sonne, so the Lord thy God nourtereth thee.

¹⁸ Therefore shall ye lay vp these my words in your heart and in your soule, and binde them for a signe vpon your hand, that they may be as a frontlet betweene your eyes, ¹⁹ And ye shall teach them your children, speaking of them, whe thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest downe, and when thou risest vp. ²⁰ And thou shalt write them vpon the postes of thine house, and vpon thy gates, ²¹ That your daies may be multiplied, and the daies of your children, in ye land which the Lord sware vnto your fathers to giue them, as long as the heauens are aboue the earth.

²⁸ And ye curse, if ye wil not obey the commandements of the Lord your God, but turne out of the way, which I commande you this day, to go after other gods, which ye haue not knowen.

¹² Furthermore if it be a poore body, thou shalt not sleepe with his pledge, ¹³ But shalt restore him the pledge when the sunne goeth downe, that he may sleepe in his raiment, and blesse thee: and it shalbe righteousnesse vnto thee before the Lord thy God. ¹⁴ Thou shalt not oppresse an hyred seruant that is needie and poore, neyther of thy brethren, nor of the stranger that is in thy land within thy gates. ¹⁵ Thou shalt giue him his hire for his day, neither shall the sunne goe downe vpon it: for he is poore, and therewith susteineth his life: lest he crye against thee vnto the Lord, and it be sinne vnto thee.

² Then shalt thou take of the first of all the fruite of the earth, and bring it out of the lande that the Lord thy God giueth thee, and put it in a basket, and goe vnto the place, which the Lord thy God shall chose to place his Name there. ³ And thou shalt come vnto the Priest, that shall be in those dayes, and say vnto him, I acknowledge this day vnto the Lord thy God, that I am come vnto the countrey which the Lord sware vnto our fathers for to giue vs. ⁴ Then the Priest shall take the basket out of thine hand, and set it downe before the altar of the Lord thy God. ⁵ And thou shalt answere and say before the Lord thy God, A Syrian was my father, who being ready to perish for hunger, went downe into Egypt, and soiourned there with a small company, and grew there vnto a nation great, mightie and full of people. ⁶ And the Egyptians vexed vs, and troubled vs, and laded vs with cruell bondage. ⁷ But when we cried vnto the Lord God of our fathers, the Lord heard our voyce, and looked on our aduersitie, and on our labour, and on our oppression. ⁸ And the Lord brought vs out of Egypt in a mightie hande, and a stretched out arme, with great terriblenesse, both in signes and wonders. ⁹ And he hath brought vs into this place, and hath giuen vs this land, euen a lande that floweth with milke and hony. ¹⁰ And now, lo, I haue brought ye first fruites of the land which thou, O Lord, hast giuen me, and thou shalt set it before the Lord thy God, and worship before the Lord thy God: ¹¹ And thou shalt reioyce in all the good things which the Lord thy God hath giuen vnto thee and to thine houshold, thou and the Leuite, and the stranger that is among you. ¹² When thou hast made an end of tithing all the tythes of thine increase, the thirde yeere, which is the yeere of tithing, and hast giuen it vnto the Leuite, to the stranger, to the fatherlesse, and to the widowe, that they may eate within thy gates, and be satisfied, ¹³ Then thou shalt say before the Lord thy God, I haue brought the halowed thing out of mine house, and also haue giuen it vnto the Leuites and to the strangers, to the fatherlesse, and to the widow, according to all thy comandements which thou hast commanded me: I haue transgressed none of thy comandements, nor forgotten them. ¹⁴ I haue not eaten therof in my mourning, nor suffred ought to perish through vncleannes, nor giuen ought thereof for the dead, but haue hearkened vnto the voyce of the Lord my God: I haue done after al that thou hast comaded me. ¹⁵ Looke downe from thine holy habitation, euen from heauen, and blesse thy people Israel, and the lande which thou hast giuen vs (as thou swarest vnto our fathers) the land that floweth with milke and hony.

² And all these blessings shall come on thee, and ouertake thee, if thou shalt obey the voyce of the Lord thy God. ³ Blessed shalt thou be in the citie, and blessed also in the fielde. ⁴ Blessed shalbe the fruite of thy body, and ye fruite of thy ground, and the fruite of thy cattel, the increase of thy kine, and ye flocks of thy sheepe. ⁵ Blessed shalbe thy basket and thy dough. ⁶ Blessed shalt thou be, whe thou commest in, and blessed also when thou goest out. ⁷ The Lord shall cause thine enemies that rise against thee, to fall before thy face: they shall come out against thee one way, and shall flee before thee leuen wayes. ⁸ The Lord shall command the blessing to be with thee in thy store houses, and in all that thou settest thine hande to, and wil blesse thee in the land which the Lord thy God giueth thee.

⁸ The Lord shall command the blessing to be with thee in thy store houses, and in all that thou settest thine hande to, and wil blesse thee in the land which the Lord thy God giueth thee. ⁹ The Lord shall make thee an holy people vnto himself, as he hath sworne vnto thee, if thou shalt keepe the commandements of the Lord thy God, and walke in his wayes. ¹⁰ Then all people of the earth shall see that the Name of the Lord is called vpon ouer thee, and they shalbe afrayde of thee. ¹¹ And the Lord shall make thee plenteous in goods, in the fruite of thy body, and in the fruite of thy cattell, and in the fruite of thy grounde, in the land which the Lord sware vnto thy fathers, to giue thee. ¹² The Lord shall open vnto thee his good treasure, euen the heauen to giue rayne vnto thy kind in due season, and to blesse all the worke of thine handes: and thou shalt lende vnto many nations, but shalt not borow thy selfe. ¹³ And the Lord shall make thee the head, and not the tayle, and thou shalt be aboue onely, and shalt not bee beneath, if thou obey the commandements of the Lord thy God, which I command thee this day, to keepe and to do them. ¹⁴ But thou shalt not decline from any of the wordes, which I command you this day, either to the right hand or to the left, to goe after other gods to serue them. ¹⁵ But if thou wilt not obey the voyce of the Lord thy God, to keepe and to do all his commandementes and his ordinances, which I command thee this day, then al these curses shall come vpon thee, and ouertake thee. ¹⁶ Cursed shalt thou bee in the towne, and cursed also in the fielde. ¹⁷ Cursed shall thy basket be, and thy dough. ¹⁸ Cursed shall be the fruite of thy body, and the fruite of thy land, the increase of thy kine, and the flockes of thy sheepe. ¹⁹ Cursed shalt thou be when thou commest in, and cursed also when thou goest out. ²⁰ The Lord shall sende vpon thee cursing, trouble, and shame, in all that which thou settest thine hand to do, vntil thou be destroyed, and perish quickely, because of the wickednesse of thy workes whereby thou hast forsaken me. ²¹ The Lord shall make the pestilence cleaue vnto thee, vntill he hath consumed thee from the land, whither thou goest to possesse it. ²² The Lord shall smite thee with a consumption, and with the feuer, and with a burning ague, and with feruent heate, and with the sworde, and with blasting, and with the mildew, and they shall pursue thee vntill thou perish. ²³ And thine heauen that is ouer thine head, shall be brasse, and the earth that is vnder thee, yron. ²⁴ The Lord shall giue thee for the rayne of thy land, dust and ashes: euen from heauen shall it come downe vpon thee, vntil thou be destroyed. ²⁵ And the Lord shall cause thee to fall before thine enemies: thou shalt come out one way against them, and shalt flee seuen wayes before them, and shalt be scattered through all the kingdomes of the earth. ²⁶ And thy carkeis shall be meate vnto all foules of the ayre, and vnto the beasts of the earth, and none shall fray them away. ²⁷ The Lord wil smite thee with the botch of Egypt, and with the emeroids, and with the skab, and with the itche, that thou canst not be healed. ²⁸ And ye Lord shall smite thee with madnes, and with blindnes, and with astonying of heart. ²⁹ Thou shalt also grope at noone daies, as the blinde gropeth in darknes, and shalt not prosper in thy wayes: thou shalt neuer but bee oppressed with wrong and be powled euermore, and no man shall succour thee. ³⁰ Thou shalt betroth a wife, and another man shall lye with her: thou shalt builde an house, and shalt not dwell therein: thou shalt plant a vineyard, and shalt not eate the fruite. ³¹ Thine oxe shalbe slayne before thine eyes, and thou shalt not eate thereof: thine asse shall be violently taken away before thy face, and shall not be restored to thee: thy sheepe shalbe giuen vnto thine enemies, and no man shall rescue them for thee. ³² Thy sonnes and thy daughters shalbe giuen vnto another people, and thine eyes shall still looke for them, euen till they fall out, and there shalbe no power in thine hand. ³³ The fruite of thy land and all thy labours shall a people, which thou knowest not, eate, and thou shalt neuer but suffer wrong, and violence alway: ³⁴ So that thou shalt be madde for the sight which thine eyes shall see. ³⁵ The Lord shall smite thee in the knees, and in the thighes, with a sore botche, that thou canst not be healed: euen from the sole of thy foote vnto the top of thine head. ³⁶ The Lord shall bring thee and thy King (which thou shalt set ouer thee) vnto a nation, which neither thou nor thy fathers haue knowen, and there thou shalt serue other gods: euen wood and stone, ³⁷ And thou shalt be a wonder, a prouerbe and a common talke among all people, whither the Lord shall carie thee. ³⁸ Thou shalt carie out much seede into the fielde, and shalt gather but litle in: for the grashoppers shall destroy it. ³⁹ Thou shalt plant a vineyard, and dresse it, but shalt neither drinke of the wine, nor gather the grapes: for the wormes shall eate it. ⁴⁰ Thou shalt haue Oliue trees in all thy coastes, but shalt not anoynt thy selfe with the oyle: for thine oliues shall fall. ⁴¹ Thou shalt beget sonnes, and daughters, but shalt not haue them: for they shall goe into captiuitie. ⁴² All thy trees and fruite of thy land shall the grashopper consume. ⁴³ The straunger that is among you, shall clime aboue thee vp on hie, and thou shalt come downe beneath alow. ⁴⁴ He shall lend thee, and thou shalt not lend him: he shalbe the head, and thou shalt be ye tayle. ⁴⁵ Moreouer, all these curses shall come vpon thee, and shall pursue thee and ouertake thee, till thou be destroyed, because thou obeyedst not the voyce of the Lord thy God, to keepe his commandements, and his ordinances, which he commanded thee: ⁴⁶ And they shalbe vpon thee for signes and wonders, and vpon thy seede for euer, ⁴⁷ Because thou seruedst not the Lord thy God with ioyfulnesse and with a good heart for the abundance of all things. ⁴⁸ Therefore thou shalt serue thine enemies which the Lord shall send vpon thee, in hunger and in thirst, and in nakednesse, and in neede of all things? and he shall put a yoke of yron vpon thy necke vntill he haue destroyed thee. ⁴⁹ The Lord shall bring a nation vpon thee from farre, euen from the ende of the world, flying swift as an Egle: a nation whose tongue thou shalt not vnderstand: ⁵⁰ A nation of a fierce countenance, which will not regarde the person of the olde, nor haue compassion of the yong. ⁵¹ The same shall eate the fruit of thy cattell, and the fruite of thy land vntill thou be destroyed, and he shall leaue thee neyther wheate, wine, nor oyle, neither the increase of thy kyne, nor the flockes of thy sheepe, vntill he haue brought thee to nought. ⁵² And he shall besiege thee in all thy cities, vntill thine hie and strong walles fall downe, wherein thou trustedst in all the lande: and hee shall besiege thee in all thy cities throughout all thy lande, which the Lord thy God hath giuen thee. ⁵³ And thou shalt eate the fruite of thy bodie: euen the flesh of thy sonnes and thy daughters, which the Lord thy God hath giuen thee, during the siege and straitnesse wherein thine enemie shall inclose thee: ⁵⁴ So that the man (that is tender and exceeding deintie among you) shalbe grieued at his brother, and at his wife, that lieth in his bosome, and at the remnant of his children, which hee hath yet left, ⁵⁵ For feare of giuing vnto any of them of the flesh of his children, whom he shall eate, because he hath nothing left him in that siege, and straitnesse, wherewith thine enemie shall besiege thee in all thy cities. ⁵⁶ The tender and deintie woman among you, which neuer woulde venture to set the sole of her foote vpon the grounde (for her softnesse and tendernesse) shalbe grieued at her husband that lieth in her bosome, and at her sonne, and at her daughter, ⁵⁷ And at her afterbirth (that shall come out from betweene her feete) and at her childre, which she shall beare: for when all things lacke, she shall eate them secretly, during the siege and straitnesse, wherewith thine enemie shall besiege thee in thy cities. ⁵⁸ If thou wilt not keepe and doe all the wordes of the Lawe (that are written in this booke) and feare this glorious and feareful name The Lord Thy God, ⁵⁹ The the Lord wil make thy plagues wonderfull, and the plagues of thy seede, euen great plagues and of long continuance, and sore diseases, and of long durance. ⁶⁰ Moreouer, he will bring vpon thee all the diseases of Egypt, whereof thou wast afraide, and they shall cleaue vnto thee. ⁶¹ And euery sickenesse, and euery plague, which is not written in the booke of this Lawe, will the Lord heape vpon thee, vntill thou be destroyed. ⁶² And ye shall be left few in nomber, where ye were as the starres of heauen in multitude, because thou wouldest not obey the voyce of the Lord thy God. ⁶³ And as the Lord hath reioyced ouer you, to doe you good, and to multiply you, so he will reioyce ouer you, to destroy you, and bring you to nought, and ye shalbe rooted out of the land, whither thou goest to possesse it. ⁶⁴ And the Lord shall scatter thee among all people, from the one ende of the worlde vnto the other, and there thou shalt serue other gods, which thou hast not knowen nor thy fathers, euen wood and stone. ⁶⁵ Also among these nations thou shalt finde no rest, neither shall the sole of thy foote haue rest: for the Lord shall giue thee there a trembling heart, and looking to returne till thine eyes fall out, and a sorowfull minde. ⁶⁶ And thy life shall hang before thee, and thou shalt feare both night and day, and shalt haue none assurance of thy life. ⁶⁷ In the morning thou shalt say, Woulde God it were euening, and at the euening thou shalt say, Would God it were morning, for ye feare of thine heart, which thou shalt feare, and for the sight of thine eyes, which thou shalt see. ⁶⁸ And the Lord shall bring thee into Egypt againe with shippes by the way, whereof I saide vnto thee, Thou shalt see it no more againe: and there yee shall sell your selues vnto your enemies for bondmen and bondwomen, and there shalbe no byer.

¹⁹ So that when he heareth the words of this curse, he blesse him selfe in his heart, saying, I shall haue peace, although I walke according to the stubburnes of mine owne heart, thus adding drunkennesse to thirst. ²⁰ The Lord will not be mercifull vnto him, but then the wrath of the Lord and his ielousie shall smoke against that man, and euery curse that is written in this booke, shall light vpon him, and the Lord shall put out his name from vnder heauen, ²¹ And the Lord shall separate him vnto euil out of all the tribes of Israel, according vnto all the curses of the couenant, that is written in the booke of this Lawe. ²² So that the generatio to come, euen your children, that shall rise vp after you, and the stranger, that shall come from a farre lande, shall say, when they shall see the plagues of this lande, and the diseases thereof, wherewith the Lord shall smite it: ²³ (For all that land shall burne with brimstone and salt: it shall not be sowen, nor bring forth, nor any grasse shall growe therein, like as in the ouerthrowing of Sodom, and Gomorah, Admah, and Zeboim, which the Lord ouerthrewe in his wrath and in his anger) ²⁴ Then shall all nations say, Wherefore hath the Lord done thus vnto this lande? how fierce is this great wrath? ²⁵ And they shall answere, Because they haue forsaken the couenant of the Lord God of their fathers, which he had made with them, when he brought them out of the land of Egypt, ²⁶ And went and serued other gods and worshipped them: euen gods which they knewe not, and which had giuen them nothing, ²⁷ Therefore the wrath of the Lord waxed hot against this land, to bring vpon it euery curse that is written in this booke. ²⁸ And ye Lord hath rooted them out of their land in anger, and in wrath, and in great indignation, and hath cast them into another land, as appeareth this day. ²⁹ The secret things belong to the Lord our God, but the things reueiled belong vnto vs, and to our children for euer, that we may doe all the wordes of this Lawe.

¹⁶ In that I commaund thee this day, to loue the Lord thy God, to walke in his wayes, and to keepe his commandements, and his ordinances, and his lawes, that thou mayest liue, and be multiplied, and that the Lord thy God may blesse thee in the land, whither thou goest to possesse it. ¹⁷ But if thine heart turne away, so that thou wilt not obey, but shalt be seduced and worship other gods, and serue them, ¹⁸ I pronounce vnto you this day, that ye shall surely perish, ye shall not prolong your dayes in the lande, whither thou passest ouer Iorden to possesse it. ¹⁹ I call heauen and earth to recorde this day against you, that I haue set before you life and death, blessing and cursing. therefore chuse life, that both thou and thy seede may liue, ²⁰ By louing the Lord thy God, by obeying his voyce, and by cleauing vnto him: for he is thy life, and the length of thy dayes: that thou mayest dwell in the lande which the Lord sware vnto thy fathers, Abraham, Izhak, and Iaakob, to giue them.

⁴⁶ Then hee said vnto them, Set your heartes vnto all the wordes which I testifie against you this day, that ye may commande them vnto your children, that they may obserue and doo all the wordes of this Lawe. ⁴⁷ For it is no vaine worde concerning you, but it is your life, and by this worde ye shall prolong your dayes in the land, whither yee go ouer Iorden to possesse it.

²⁸ Then Israel the fountaine of Iaakob shall dwell alone in safetie in a lande of wheat, and wine: also his heauens shall drop the dewe.

⁷ Onely be thou strong, and of a most valiant courage, that thou mayest obserue and doe according to all the Lawe which Moses my seruant hath commanded thee: thou shalt not turne away from it to the right hande, nor to the left, that thou mayest prosper whithersoeuer thou goest. ⁸ Let not this booke of the Law depart out of thy mouth, but meditate therin day and night, that thou mayest obserue and doe according to all that is written therein: for then shalt thou make thy way prosperous, and then shalt thou haue good successe.

⁸ Let not this booke of the Law depart out of thy mouth, but meditate therin day and night, that thou mayest obserue and doe according to all that is written therein: for then shalt thou make thy way prosperous, and then shalt thou haue good successe.

¹⁸ Notwithstanding, be ye ware of the execrable thing, lest ye make your selues execrable, and in taking of the execrable thing, make also the hoste of Israel execrable, and trouble it.

¹³ Vp therefore, sanctifie the people, and say, Sanctifie your selues against to morowe: for thus saith the Lord God of Israel, There is an execrable thing among you, O Israel, therefore ye cannot stand against your enemies, vntill ye haue put the execrable thing from among you.

⁹ Hee will keepe the feete of his Saintes, and the wicked shall keepe silence in darkenes: for in his owne might shall no man be strong.

²⁶ (Nowe the childe Samuel profited and grewe, and was in fauour both with the Lord and also with men)

³⁰ Wherefore the Lord God of Israel saith, I saide, that thine house and the house of thy father should walke before mee for euer: but nowe the Lord saith, It shall not be so: for them that honour me, I will honour, and they that despise me, shall be despised.

¹¹ And the Arke of God was taken, and the two sonnes of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas died. ¹² And there ranne a man of Beniamin out of the armie, and came to Shiloh the same day with his clothes rent, and earth vpon his head.

⁸ Then Dauid asked counsell at the Lord, saying, Shall I follow after this companie? shall I ouertake them? And he answered him, Followe: for thou shalt surely ouertake them, and recouer all.

¹¹ And the Arke of the Lord continued in the house of Obed-edom the Gittite, three moneths, and the Lord blessed Obed-edom, and all his houshold.

²⁰ Thou camest yesterday, and should I cause thee to wander to day and go with vs? I will goe whither I can: therefore returne thou and cary againe thy brethren: mercy and trueth be with thee.

¹³ And I haue also giuen thee that, which thou hast not asked, both riches and honour, so that among the Kings there shall be none like vnto thee all thy dayes.

¹ And the Queene of Sheba hearing ye fame of Salomon (concerning the Name of the Lord) came to proue him with hard questions. ² And she came to Ierusalem with a verie great traine, and camels that bare sweete odours, and golde exceeding much, and precious stones: and shee came to Salomon, and communed with him of all that was in her heart. ³ And Salomon declared vnto her all her questions: nothing was hid from the King, which he expounded not vnto her. ⁴ Then the Queene of Sheba sawe all Salomons wisedome, and the house that he had built, ⁵ And the meate of his table, and the sitting of his seruants, and the order of his ministers, and their apparel, and his drinking vessels, and his burnt offrings, that he offered in the house of the Lord, and she was greatly astonied. ⁶ And shee sayde vnto the King, It was a true worde that I heard in mine owne lande of thy sayings, and of thy wisedome. ⁷ Howebeit I beleeued not this report till I came, and had seene it with mine eyes: but lo, ye one halfe was not tolde mee: for thou hast more wisedome and prosperitie, then I haue heard by report. ⁸ Happy are the men, happie are these thy seruants, which stande euer before thee, and heare thy wisedome. ⁹ Blessed be the Lord thy God, which loued thee, to set thee on the throne of Israel, because the Lord loued Israel for euer and made thee King to doe equitie and righteousnesse.

²³ So King Salomon exceeded all the kings of the earth both in riches and in wisedome. ²⁴ And al the world sought to see Salomon, to heare his wisedome, which God had put in his heart,

⁹ And thou, Salomon my sonne, know thou the God of thy father, and serue him with a perfit heart, and with a willing minde: For the Lord searcheth all hearts, and vnderstandeth all the imaginations of thoughts: if thou seeke him, he will be found of thee, but if thou forsake him, he will cast thee off for euer.

¹¹ And God sayde to Salomon, Because this was in thine heart, and thou hast not asked riches, treasures nor honour, nor the liues of thine enemies, neither yet hast asked long life, but hast asked for thee wisdome and knowledge that thou mightest iudge my people, ouer whome I haue made thee King, ¹² Wisdome and knowledge is granted vnto thee, and I will giue thee riches and treasures and honour, so that there hath not bene the like among the Kings which were before thee, neither after thee shall there be the like.

²⁷ Blessed be the Lord God of our fathers, which so hath put in the Kings heart, to beautifie the house of the Lord that is in Ierusalem,

²² For I was ashamed to require of the King an armie and horsemen, to helpe vs against the enemie in the way, because we had spoken to the King, saying, The hande of our God is vpon all them that seeke him in goodnesse, but his power and his wrath is against all them that forsake him. ²³ So we fasted, aud besought our God for this: and he was intreated of vs.

¹¹ O Lord, I beseech thee, let thine eare now hearken to the prayer of thy seruant, and to the prayer of thy seruants, who desire to feare thy Name, and I pray thee, cause thy seruant to prosper this day, and giue him fauour in the presence of this man: for I was the Kings butler.

⁴ And the King said vnto me, For what thing doest thou require? Then I prayed to the God of heauen,

¹⁵ For the former gouernours that were before me, had bene chargeable vnto the people, and had taken of them bread and wine, besides fourtie shekels of siluer: yea, and their seruants bare rule ouer the people: but so did not I, because of the feare of God.

¹ There was a man in the lande of Vz called Iob, and this man was an vpright and iust man, one that feared God, and eschewed euill.

⁵ But now it is come vpon thee, and thou art grieued: it toucheth thee, and thou art troubled.

¹⁷ Beholde, blessed is the man whome God correcteth: therefore refuse not thou the chastising of the Almightie.

²¹ Thou shalt be hid from the scourge of the tongue, and thou shalt not be afraid of destruction when it commeth. ²² But thou shalt laugh at destruction and dearth, and shalt not be afraide of the beast of the earth.

²⁶ Thou shalt goe to thy graue in a ful age, as a ricke of corne commeth in due season into the barne.

⁶ If thou be pure and vpright, then surely hee will awake vp vnto thee, and he wil make the habitation of thy righteousnesse prosperous. ⁷ And though thy beginning be small, yet thy latter ende shall greatly encrease.

¹³ If thou prepare thine heart, and stretch out thine hands toward him: ¹⁴ If iniquitie be in thine hand, put it farre away, and let no wickednesse dwell in thy Tabernacle. ¹⁵ The truely shalt thou lift vp thy face without spot, and shalt be stable, and shalt not feare.

¹⁹ For when thou takest thy rest, none shall make thee afraide: yea, many shall make sute vnto thee.

¹⁵ Loe, though he slay me, yet will I trust in him, and I will reprooue my wayes in his sight.

²⁴ His breasts are full of milke, and his bones runne full of marowe.

¹³ Man knoweth not the price thereof: for it is not found in the land of the liuing. ¹⁴ The depth sayth, It is not in mee: the sea also sayth, It is not with me. ¹⁵ Golde shall not be giuen for it, neyther shall siluer be weighed for the price thereof. ¹⁶ It shall not be valued with the wedge of golde of Ophir, nor with the precious onix, nor the saphir. ¹⁷ The golde nor the chrystall shall be equall vnto it, nor the exchange shalbe for plate of fine golde. ¹⁸ No mention shall be made of coral, nor of the gabish: for wisedome is more precious then pearles.

¹⁸ No mention shall be made of coral, nor of the gabish: for wisedome is more precious then pearles. ¹⁹ The Topaz of Ethiopia shall not be equall vnto it, neither shall it be valued with the wedge of pure gold.

²⁸ And vnto man he said, Behold, the feare of the Lord is wisedome, and to depart from euil is vnderstanding.

⁴ As I was in the dayes of my youth: when Gods prouidence was vpon my tabernacle:

²⁷ When he restraineth the droppes of water, the rayne powreth down by the vapour thereof, ²⁸ Which raine the cloudes do droppe and let fall abundantly vpon man.

⁸ Or who hath shut vp the Sea with doores, when it yssued and came foorth as out of the wombe: ⁹ When I made the cloudes as a couering thereof, and darkenesse as the swadeling bands thereof: ¹⁰ When I stablished my commandement vpon it, and set barres and doores, ¹¹ And said, Hitherto shalt thou come, but no farther, and here shall it stay thy proude waues.

²⁶ To cause it to raine on the earth where no man is, and in the wildernes where there is no man? ²⁷ To fulfil the wilde and waste place, and to cause the bud of the herbe to spring forth? ²⁸ Who is the father of the rayne? or who hath begotten the droppes of the dewe?

³ For he shall be like a tree planted by the riuers of waters, that will bring foorth her fruite in due season: whose leafe shall not fade: so whatsoeuer he shall doe, shall prosper.

⁵ I layed me downe and slept, and rose vp againe: for the Lord susteined me.

⁸ I will lay mee downe, and also sleepe in peace: for thou, Lord, onely makest me dwell in safetie.

²⁶ With the pure thou wilt shewe thy selfe pure, and with the froward thou wilt shewe thy selfe froward.

¹⁰ And more to be desired then golde, yea, then much fine golde: sweeter also then honie and the honie combe. ¹¹ Moreouer by them is thy seruant made circumspect, and in keeping of them there is great reward.

⁴ He asked life of thee, and thou gauest him a long life for euer and euer.

⁸ Gracious and righteous is the Lord: therefore will he teache sinners in the way. ⁹ Them that be meeke, will hee guide in iudgement, and teach the humble his way. ¹⁰ All the pathes of the Lord are mercie and trueth vnto such as keepe his couenant and his testimonies.

¹⁴ The secrete of the Lord is reueiled to them, that feare him: and his couenant to giue them vnderstanding.

¹ A Psalme of David. The Lord is my light and my saluation, whom shall I feare? the Lord is the strength of my life, of whome shall I be afraide? ² When the wicked, euen mine enemies and my foes came vpon mee to eate vp my flesh; they stumbled and fell.

⁸ I will instruct thee, and teache thee in the way that thou shalt goe, and I will guide thee with mine eye.

¹¹ Come children, hearken vnto me: I will teache you the feare of the Lord. ¹² What man is he, that desireth life, and loueth long dayes for to see good? ¹³ Keepe thy tongue from euill, and thy lips, that they speake no guile. ¹⁴ Eschewe euill and doe good: seeke peace and follow after it.

²⁰ For they speake not as friendes: but they imagine deceitfull woordes against the quiet of the lande.

¹ A Psalme of David. Fret not thy selfe because of the wicked men, neither be enuious for the euill doers.

³ Trust thou in the Lord and do good: dwell in the land, and thou shalt be fed assuredly.

⁵ Commit thy way vnto the Lord, and trust in him, and he shall bring it to passe.

⁷ Waite patiently vpon the Lord and hope in him: fret not thy selfe for him which prospereth in his way: nor for the man that bringeth his enterprises to passe.

⁷ Waite patiently vpon the Lord and hope in him: fret not thy selfe for him which prospereth in his way: nor for the man that bringeth his enterprises to passe. ⁸ Cease from anger, and leaue off wrath: fret not thy selfe also to doe euill. ⁹ For euill doers shalbe cut off, and they that wait vpon the Lord, they shall inherite the land.

¹¹ But meeke men shall possesse the earth, and shall haue their delite in the multitude of peace.

²² For such as be blessed of God, shall inherite the lande, and they that be cursed of him, shalbe cut off. ²³ The pathes of man are directed by the Lord: for he loueth his way. ²⁴ Though he fall, hee shall not be cast off: for the Lord putteth vnder his hand.

³¹ For the Lawe of his God is in his heart, and his steppes shall not slide.

¹ To him that excelleth upon Alamoth a song committed to the sonnes of Korah. God is our hope and strength, and helpe in troubles, ready to be found. ² Therefore will not we feare, though the earth be moued, and though the mountaines fall into the middes of the sea. ³ Though the waters thereof rage and be troubled, and the mountaines shake at the surges of the same. Selah,

²⁰ Hee layed his hande vpon such, as be at peace with him, and he brake his couenant.

³ For loe, they haue layd waite for my soule: the mightie men are gathered against me, not for mine offence, nor for my sinne, O Lord.

⁸ Trust in him alway, ye people: powre out your hearts before him, for God is our hope. Selah.

³ For thy louing kindnesse is better then life: therefore my lippes shall prayse thee.

³ For thy louing kindnesse is better then life: therefore my lippes shall prayse thee. ⁴ Thus will I magnifie thee all my life, and lift vp mine hands in thy name. ⁵ My soule shalbe satisfied, as with marowe and fatnesse, and my mouth shall praise thee with ioyfull lippes,

⁹ Thou visitest the earth, and waterest it: thou makest it very riche: the Riuer of God is full of water: thou preparest them corne: for so thou appointest it. ¹⁰ Thou waterest abundantly the furrowes thereof: thou causest the raine to descende into the valleies thereof: thou makest it soft with showres, and blessest the bud thereof. ¹¹ Thou crownest ye yeere with thy goodnesse, and thy steppes droppe fatnesse. ¹² They drop vpon the pastures of the wildernesse: and the hils shalbe compassed with gladnes.

⁹ Cast mee not off in the time of age: forsake me not when my strength faileth.

³ For I feared at the foolish, when I sawe the prosperitie of the wicked.

¹⁹ How suddenly are they destroyed, perished and horribly consumed,

²⁴ Thou wilt guide me by thy counsell, and afterward receiue me to glory. ²⁵ Whom haue I in heauen but thee? and I haue desired none in the earth with thee. ²⁶ My flesh fayleth and mine heart also: but God is the strength of mine heart, and my portion for euer.

³ Surely he will deliuer thee from the snare of the hunter, and from the noysome pestilence.

⁵ Thou shalt not be afraide of the feare of the night, nor of the arrowe that flyeth by day:

⁹ For thou hast said, The Lord is mine hope: thou hast set the most High for thy refuge. ¹⁰ There shall none euill come vnto thee, neither shall any plague come neere thy tabernacle.

¹⁰ There shall none euill come vnto thee, neither shall any plague come neere thy tabernacle. ¹¹ For hee shall giue his Angels charge ouer thee to keepe thee in all thy wayes. ¹² They shall beare thee in their handes, that thou hurt not thy foote against a stone.

¹⁶ With long life wil I satisfie him, and shew him my saluation.

¹² Blessed is the man, whom thou chastisest, O Lord, and teachest him in thy Lawe,

¹³ As a father hath compassion on his children, so hath the Lord compassion on them that feare him.

⁸ And the mountaines ascend, and the valleis descend to the place which thou hast established for them. ⁹ But thou hast set them a bounde, which they shall not passe: they shall not returne to couer the earth.

²⁴ O Lord, howe manifolde are thy workes! in wisdome hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches.

¹⁰ The beginning of wisedome is the feare of the Lord: all they that obserue them, haue good vnderstanding: his praise endureth for euer.

¹ Praise ye the Lord. Blessed is the man, that feareth the Lord, and deliteth greatly in his commandements.

⁷ He will not be afraide of euill tidings: for his heart is fixed, and beleeueth in the Lord.

⁹ O Israel, trust thou in the Lord: for he is their helpe and their shielde. ¹⁰ O house of Aaron, trust ye in the Lord: for he is their helpe and their shielde. ¹¹ Ye that feare the Lord, trust in the Lord: for he is their helper and their shield.

¹¹ I haue hid thy promise in mine heart, that I might not sinne against thee.

¹⁴ I haue had as great delight in the way of thy testimonies, as in all riches.

¹⁶ I will delite in thy statutes, and I will not forget thy worde.

³⁴ Giue mee vnderstanding, and I will keepe thy Law: yea, I wil keepe it with my whole heart.

⁴⁷ And my delite shalbe in thy commandements, which I haue loued.

⁴⁷ And my delite shalbe in thy commandements, which I haue loued. ⁴⁸ Mine handes also will I lift vp vnto thy commandements, which I haue loued, and I will meditate in thy statutes.

⁷² The Lawe of thy mouth is better vnto me, then thousands of golde and siluer.

⁹³ I wil neuer forget thy precepts: for by them thou hast quickened me.

¹⁰³ Howe sweete are thy promises vnto my mouth! yea, more then hony vnto my mouth.

¹¹¹ Thy testimonies haue I taken as an heritage for euer: for they are the ioy of mine heart.

¹⁵³ RESH. Beholde mine affliction, and deliuer mee: for I haue not forgotten thy Lawe.

¹⁶² I reioyce at thy worde, as one that findeth a great spoyle.

¹⁶⁵ They that loue thy Law, shall haue great prosperitie, and they shall haue none hurt.

¹⁷⁴ I haue longed for thy saluation, O Lord, and thy Lawe is my delite.

¹⁷⁶ I haue gone astraye like a lost sheepe: seeke thy seruant, for I doe not forget thy commandements.

³ He wil not suffer thy foote to slippe: for he that keepeth thee, will not slumber. ⁴ Beholde, he that keepeth Israel, wil neither slumber nor sleepe. ⁵ The Lord is thy keeper: the Lord is thy shadow at thy right hand. ⁶ The sunne shall not smite thee by day, nor the moone by night. ⁷ The Lord shall preserue thee from all euil: he shall keepe thy soule. ⁸ The Lord shall preserue thy going out, and thy comming in from henceforth and for euer.

¹ A song of degrees. They that trust in the Lord, shalbe as mount Zion, which can not be remooued, but remaineth for euer.

² It is in vaine for you to rise earely, and to lie downe late, and eate the bread of sorow: but he wil surely giue rest to his beloued.

⁶ Yea, thou shalt see thy childrens children, and peace vpon Israel.

¹⁸ His enemies will I clothe with shame, but on him his crowne shall florish.

⁵ Which by his wisedome made the heauens: for his mercie endureth for euer:

⁶ For the Lord is high: yet he beholdeth the lowly, but the proude he knoweth afarre off.

³ Put not your trust in princes, nor in the sonne of man, for there is none helpe in him. ⁴ His breath departeth, and he returneth to his earth: then his thoughtes perish. ⁵ Blessed is he, that hath the God of Iaakob for his helpe, whose hope is in the Lord his God.

³ He healeth those that are broken in heart, and bindeth vp their sores.

⁸ My sonne, heare thy fathers instruction, and forsake not thy mothers teaching. ⁹ For they shalbe a comely ornament vnto thine head, and as chaines for thy necke.

¹⁵ My sonne, walke not thou in the way with them: refraine thy foote from their path. ¹⁶ For their feete runne to euill, and make haste to shed blood. ¹⁷ Certainely as without cause the net is spred before the eyes of all that hath wing: ¹⁸ So they lay waite for blood and lie priuily for their liues.

²⁷ Whe your feare cometh like sudden desolation, and your destruction shall come like a whirle wind: whe affliction and anguish shall come vpon you,

⁴ If thou seekest her as siluer, and searchest for her as for treasures,

⁷ He preserueth the state of the righteous: he is a shielde to them that walke vprightly, ⁸ That they may keepe the wayes of iudgement: and he preserueth the way of his Saintes)

¹⁰ When wisdome entreth into thine heart, and knowledge deliteth thy soule,

¹² And deliuer thee from the euill way, and from the man that speaketh froward things, ¹³ And from them that leaue the wayes of righteousnes to walke in the wayes of darkenes: ¹⁴ Which reioyce in doing euill, and delite in the frowardnesse of the wicked, ¹⁵ Whose wayes are crooked and they are lewde in their paths.

¹ My sonne, forget not thou my Lawe, but let thine heart keepe my commandements. ² For they shall increase the length of thy dayes and the yeeres of life, and thy prosperitie.

² For they shall increase the length of thy dayes and the yeeres of life, and thy prosperitie. ³ Let not mercie and trueth forsake thee: binde them on thy necke, and write them vpon the table of thine heart.

⁷ Be not wise in thine owne eyes: but feare the Lord, and depart from euill.

¹⁶ Length of dayes is in her right hand, and in her left hand riches and glory. ¹⁷ Her wayes are wayes of pleasure, and all her pathes prosperitie.

⁵ Get wisedom: get vnderstading: forget not, neither decline from the woordes of my mouth.

⁵ Get wisedom: get vnderstading: forget not, neither decline from the woordes of my mouth. ⁶ Forsake her not, and shee shall keepe thee: loue her and shee shall preserue thee.

⁶ Forsake her not, and shee shall keepe thee: loue her and shee shall preserue thee. ⁷ Wisedome is the beginning: get wisedome therefore: and aboue all thy possession get vnderstanding.

⁷ Wisedome is the beginning: get wisedome therefore: and aboue all thy possession get vnderstanding. ⁸ Exalt her, and she shall exalt thee: she shall bring thee to honour, if thou embrace her.

⁸ Exalt her, and she shall exalt thee: she shall bring thee to honour, if thou embrace her.

⁸ Exalt her, and she shall exalt thee: she shall bring thee to honour, if thou embrace her. ⁹ She shall giue a comely ornamet vnto thine head, yea, she shall giue thee a crowne of glorie.

⁹ She shall giue a comely ornamet vnto thine head, yea, she shall giue thee a crowne of glorie. ¹⁰ Heare, my sonne, and receiue my wordes, and the yeeres of thy life shalbe many.

¹⁰ Heare, my sonne, and receiue my wordes, and the yeeres of thy life shalbe many.

¹² Whe thou goest, thy gate shall not be strait, and when thou runnest, thou shalt not fall.

²¹ Let them not depart from thine eyes, but keepe them in the middes of thine heart. ²² For they are life vnto those that find them, and health vnto all their flesh.

⁶ Goe to the pismire, O sluggarde: beholde her waies, and be wise. ⁷ For shee hauing no guide, gouernour, nor ruler, ⁸ Prepareth her meat in the sommer, and gathereth her foode in haruest. ⁹ Howe long wilt thou sleepe, O sluggarde? when wilt thou arise out of thy sleepe? ¹⁰ Yet a litle sleepe, a litle slumber, a litle folding of the hands to sleepe. ¹¹ Therefore thy pouertie commeth as one that trauaileth by the way, and thy necessitie like an armed man. ¹² The vnthriftie man and the wicked man walketh with a froward mouth. ¹³ He maketh a signe with his eyes: he signifieth with his feete: he instructeth with his fingers. ¹⁴ Lewde things are in his heart: he imagineth euill at all times, and raiseth vp contentions.

¹⁴ Lewde things are in his heart: he imagineth euill at all times, and raiseth vp contentions. ¹⁵ Therefore shall his destruction come speedily: hee shall be destroyed suddenly without recouerie. ¹⁶ These sixe things doeth the Lord hate: yea, his soule abhorreth seuen: ¹⁷ The hautie eyes, a lying tongue, and the hands that shed innocent blood, ¹⁸ An heart that imagineth wicked enterprises, feete that be swift in running to mischiefe,

¹⁸ An heart that imagineth wicked enterprises, feete that be swift in running to mischiefe, ¹⁹ A false witnesse that speaketh lyes, and him that rayseth vp contentions among brethren.

²¹ Binde them alway vpon thine heart, and tye them about thy necke. ²² It shall leade thee, when thou walkest: it shall watch for thee, when thou sleepest, and when thou wakest, it shall talke with thee.

³ Binde them vpon thy fingers, and write them vpon the table of thine heart.

¹⁰ Receiue mine instruction, and not siluer, and knowledge rather then fine golde. ¹¹ For wisdome is better then precious stones: and all pleasures are not to be compared vnto her.

¹¹ For wisdome is better then precious stones: and all pleasures are not to be compared vnto her.

¹³ The feare of the Lord is to hate euill as pride, and arrogancie, and the euill way: and a mouth that speaketh lewde things, I doe hate.

¹⁸ Riches and honour are with me: euen durable riches and righteousnesse. ¹⁹ My fruite is better then golde, euen then fine golde, and my reuenues better then fine siluer.

¹⁹ My fruite is better then golde, euen then fine golde, and my reuenues better then fine siluer. ²⁰ I cause to walke in the way of righteousnes, and in the middes of the paths of iudgement, ²¹ That I may cause them that loue me, to inherite substance, and I will fill their treasures.

²⁷ When hee prepared the heauens, I was there, when he set the compasse vpon the deepe. ²⁸ When he established the cloudes aboue, when he confirmed the fountaines of the deepe, ²⁹ When he gaue his decree to the Sea, that the waters shoulde not passe his commandement: when he appointed the foundations of the earth,

³² Therefore nowe hearken, O children, vnto me: for blessed are they that keepe my wayes. ³³ Heare instruction, and be ye wise, and refuse it not: blessed is the man that heareth mee, watching dayly at my gates, and giuing attendance at the postes of my doores. ³⁴ For he that findeth me, findeth life, and shall obteine fauour of the Lord. ³⁵ But he that sinneth against me, hurteth his owne soule: and all that hate me, loue death.

⁷ He that reproueth a scorner, purchaseth to himselfe shame: and he that rebuketh the wicked, getteth himselfe a blot. ⁸ Rebuke not a scorner, least he hate thee: but rebuke a wise man, and he will loue thee.

¹¹ For thy dayes shalbe multiplied by me, and the yeeres of thy life shalbe augmented. ¹² If thou be wise, thou shalt be wise for thy selfe, and if thou be a scorner, thou alone shalt suffer.

⁹ He that walketh vprightly, walketh boldely: but he that peruerteth his wayes, shalbe knowen.

²⁷ The feare of the Lord increaseth the dayes: but the yeeres of the wicked shalbe diminished.

²⁰ They that are of a froward heart, are abomination to the Lord: but they that are vpright in their way, are his delite.

²⁴ There is that scattereth, and is more increased: but hee that spareth more then is right, surely commeth to pouertie. ²⁵ The liberall person shall haue plentie: and he that watereth, shall also haue raine.

³⁰ The fruite of the righteous is as a tree of life, and he that winneth soules, is wise.

¹² The wicked desireth the net of euils: but the roote of the righteous giueth fruite.

⁸ A man will giue his riches for the ransome of his life: but the poore cannot heare ye reproch.

¹² The hope that is deferred, is the fainting of the heart: but when the desire commeth, it is as a tree of life.

²⁴ He that spareth his rodde, hateth his sonne: but he that loueth him, chasteneth him betime.

¹⁰ The heart knoweth the bitternes of his soule, and the stranger shall not medle with his ioy.

²² Doe not they erre that imagine euill? but to them that thinke on good things, shalbe mercie and trueth.

²⁶ In the feare of the Lord is an assured strength, and his children shall haue hope. ²⁷ The feare of the Lord is as a welspring of life, to auoyde the snares of death.

³¹ He that oppresseth the poore, reprooueth him that made him: but hee honoureth him, that hath mercie on the poore.

⁴ A wholesome tongue is as a tree of life: but the frowardnes therof is the breaking of ye minde.

³ Commit thy workes vnto the Lord, and thy thoughts shalbe directed.

⁶ By mercy and trueth iniquitie shalbe forgiuen, and by the feare of the Lord they depart from euill. ⁷ When the wayes of a man please the Lord, he will make also his enemies at peace with him.

⁹ The heart of man purposeth his way: but the Lord doeth direct his steppes.

¹⁶ Howe much better is it to get wisedome then golde? and to get vnderstanding, is more to be desired then siluer.

²⁴ Faire wordes are as an hony combe, sweetenesse to the soule, and health to the bones.

²⁹ A wicked man deceiueth his neighbour, and leadeth him into the way that is not good. ³⁰ He shutteth his eyes to deuise wickednes: he moueth his lippes, and bringeth euil to passe.

¹⁴ The beginning of strife is as one that openeth the waters: therefore or the contention be medled with, leaue off. ¹⁵ He that iustifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the iust, euen they both are abomination to the Lord.

¹ For the desire thereof hee will separate himselfe to seeke it, and occupie himselfe in all wisdome.

⁶ A fooles lips come with strife, and his mouth calleth for stripes.

¹⁷ He that hath mercy vpon the poore, lendeth vnto the Lord: and the Lord will recompense him that which he hath giuen.

²⁹ But iudgements are prepared for the scorners, and stripes for the backe of the fooles.

¹⁵ There is golde, and a multitude of precious stones: but the lips of knowledge are a precious iewel.

²⁸ Mercie and trueth preserue the King: for his throne shall be established with mercie.

¹² The righteous teacheth the house of the wicked: but God ouerthroweth the wicked for their euill.

²⁴ Proude, hautie and scornefull is his name that worketh in his arrogancie wrath.

⁴ The rewarde of humilitie, and the feare of God is riches, and glory, and life.

⁹ He that hath a good eye, he shalbe blessed: for he giueth of his bread vnto the poore.

¹⁸ For it shalbe pleasant, if thou keepe them in thy bellie, and if they be directed together in thy lippes. ¹⁹ That thy confidence may be in the Lord, I haue shewed thee this day: thou therefore take heede.

²² Robbe not the poore, because hee is poore, neither oppresse the afflicted in iudgement. ²³ For the Lord will defende their cause, and spoyle the soule of those that spoyle them. ²⁴ Make no friendship with an angrie man, neither goe with the furious man, ²⁵ Least thou learne his wayes, and receiue destruction to thy soule.

⁴ Trauaile not too much to be rich: but cease from thy wisdome.

¹⁷ Let not thine heart bee enuious against sinners: but let it bee in the feare of the Lord continually.

¹ Be not thou enuious against euill men, neither desire to be with them.

¹⁰ If thou bee faint in the day of aduersitie, thy strength is small.

¹⁹ Fret not thy selfe because of the malicious, neither be enuious at the wicked. ²⁰ For there shall bee none ende of plagues to the euill man: the light of the wicked shall bee put out.

⁸ Goe not foorth hastily to strife, least thou know not what to doe in the ende thereof, when thy neighbour hath put thee to shame. ⁹ Debate thy matter with thy neighbour, and discouer not the secret to another,

¹² Seest thou a man wise in his owne conceite? more hope is of a foole then of him.

¹ Boast not thy selfe of to morowe: for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth.

²⁶ Hee that trusteth in his owne heart, is a foole: but he that walketh in wisdome, shall be deliuered.

¹⁷ Correct thy sonne and he will giue thee rest, and will giue pleasures to thy soule.

²² An angrie man stirreth vp strife, and a furious man aboundeth in transgression.

⁵ Lest he drinke and forget the decree, and change the iudgement of all the children of affliction.

¹⁰ Who shall finde a vertuous woman? for her price is farre aboue the pearles.

⁸ And the abundance of the earth is ouer all: the King also consisteth by the fielde that is tilled.

¹⁰ All that thine hand shall finde to doe, doe it with all thy power: for there is neither worke nor inuention, nor knowledge, nor wisedome in the graue whither thou goest.

¹⁵ And there was founde therein a poore and wise man, and he deliuered the citie by his wisedome: but none remembred this poore man. ¹⁶ Then said I, Better is wisdome then strength: yet the wisedome of the poore is despised, and his wordes are not heard. ¹⁷ The wordes of the wise are more heard in quietnes, then the crye of him that ruleth among fooles. ¹⁸ Better is wisedome then weapons of warre: but one sinner destroyeth much good.

¹ Cast thy bread vpon the waters: for after many daies thou shalt finde it. ² Giue a portion to seuen, and also to eight: for thou knowest not what euill shalbe vpon ye earth.

⁶ In the morning sowe thy seede, and in the euening let not thine hand rest: for thou knowest not whither shall prosper, this or that, or whether both shalbe a like good.

¹³ Let vs heare the end of all: feare God and keepe his commandements: for this is the whole duetie of man.

⁶ From the sole of the foote vnto the head, there is nothing whole therein, but wounds, and swelling, and sores full of corruption: they haue not bene wrapped, nor bound vp, nor mollified with oyle.

²¹ Woe vnto them that are wise in their owne eyes, and prudent in their owne sight.

¹² Say ye not, A confederacie to all them, to whome this people sayth a confederacie, neither feare you their feare, nor be afrayd of them. ¹³ Sanctifie the Lord of hostes, and let him be your feare, and let him be your dread,

² Beholde, God is my saluation: I will trust, and will not feare: for ye Lord God is my strength and song: he also is become my saluation.

³ By an assured purpose wilt thou preserue perfite peace, because they trusted in thee.

³ By an assured purpose wilt thou preserue perfite peace, because they trusted in thee. ⁴ Trust in the Lord for euer: for in the Lord God is strength for euermore.

²¹ And thine eares shall heare a worde behind thee, saying, This is the way, walke ye in it, when thou turnest to the right hand, and when thou turnest to the left.

¹⁷ And the worke of iustice shall bee peace, euen the worke of iustice and quietnesse, and assurance for euer.

¹⁶ O Lord, to them that ouerliue them, and to all that are in them, the life of my spirite shalbe knowen, that thou causedst me to sleepe and hast giuen life to me.

³⁰ Euen the yong men shall faint, and be wearie, and the yong men shall stumble and fall. ³¹ But they that waite vpon the Lord, shall renue their strength: they shall lift vp the wings as the eagles: they shall runne, and not be wearie, and they shall walke and not faint.

¹⁰ Feare thou not, for I am with thee: be not afraide, for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee, and helpe thee, and will susteine thee with the right hand of my iustice. ¹¹ Beholde, all they that prouoke thee, shalbe ashamed, and confounded: they shalbe as nothing, and they that striue with thee, shall perish. ¹² Thou shalt seeke them and shalt not finde them: to wit, the men of thy strife, for they shall be as nothing, and the men that warre against thee, as a thing of nought. ¹³ For I the Lord thy God will hold thy right hand, saying vnto thee, Feare not, I wil helpe thee. ¹⁴ Feare not, thou worme, Iaakob, and ye men of Israel: I wil helpe thee, sayth the Lord and thy redeemer the holy one of Israel.

¹³ I haue raised him vp in righteousnesse, and I will direct all his wayes: he shall build my citie, and he shall let goe my captiues, not for price nor rewarde, saith the Lord of hostes.

¹⁷ Thus saith the Lord thy redeemer, the Holy one of Israel, I am the Lord thy God, which teach thee to profite, and lead thee by the way, that thou shouldest goe.

¹⁷ Awake, awake, and stande vp, O Ierusalem, which hast drunke at the hande of the Lord the cup of his wrath: thou hast drunken the dregges of the cup of trembling, and wrung them out.

¹⁵ For thus sayth he that is hie and excellent, he that inhabiteth the eternitie, whose Name is the Holy one, I dwell in the high and holy place: with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirite to reuiue the spirite of the humble, and to giue life to them that are of a contrite heart.

¹⁹ I create the fruite of the lips, to be peace: peace vnto them that are farre off, and to them that are neere, sayth the Lord: for I will heale him.

¹⁹ I create the fruite of the lips, to be peace: peace vnto them that are farre off, and to them that are neere, sayth the Lord: for I will heale him. ²⁰ But the wicked are like the raging sea, that can not rest, whose waters cast vp myre and dirt. ²¹ There is no peace, sayth my God, to the wicked.

¹³ Therefore thus saith the Lord God, Beholde, my seruants shall eate, and ye shalbe hungrie: beholde, my seruants shall drinke, and ye shall be thirstie: beholde, my seruants shall reioyce, and ye shalbe ashamed. ¹⁴ Beholde, my seruants shall sing for ioye of heart, and ye shall crye for sorow of heart, and shall howle for vexation of minde. ¹⁵ And ye shall leaue your name as a curse vnto my chosen: for the Lord God shall slay you and call his seruants by another name.

²³ Thus saith the Lord, Let not the wise man glory in his wisedome, nor the strong man glorie in his strength, neyther the riche man glorie in his riches.

¹² He hath made the earth by his power, and established the worlde by his wisedome, and hath stretched out the heauen by his discretion.

²³ O Lord, I knowe, that the way of man is not in himselfe, neyther is it in man to walke and to direct his steps.

²² Are there any among the vanities of the Gentiles, that can giue raine? or can the heauens giue showres? is it not thou, O Lord our God? therefore we will waite vpon thee: for thou hast made all these things.

¹ The sinne of Iudah is written with a pen of yron, and with the poynt of a diamonde, and grauen vpon the table of their heart, and vpon the hornes of your altars.

⁷ Blessed be the man, that trusteth in ye Lord, and whose hope the Lord is. ⁸ For he shall be as a tree that is planted by the water, which spreadeth out her rootes by the riuer, and shall not feele when the heate commeth, but her leafe shall be greene, and shall not care for the yeere of drought, neyther shall cease from yeelding fruit.

¹⁸ Then sayde they, Come, and let vs imagine some deuice against Ieremiah: for the Lawe shall not perish from the Priest, nor counsell from the wise, nor the worde from the Prophet: come, and let vs smite him with the tongue, and let vs not giue heede to any of his words. ¹⁹ Hearken vnto mee, O Lord, and heare the voyce of them that contend with me. ²⁰ Shall euill be recompensed for good? for they haue digged a pit for my soule: remember that I stood before thee, to speake good for the, and to turne away thy wrath from them.

¹² For thus saith the Lord, Thy bruising is incurable, and thy wound is dolorous. ¹³ There is none to iudge thy cause, or to lay a plaister: there are no medicines, nor help for thee.

²⁶ Therefore I awaked and behelde, and my sleepe was sweete vnto me.

³³ But this shall be the couenant that I will make with the house of Israel, After those dayes, saith the Lord, I will put my Lawe in their inward partes, and write it in their hearts, and wil be their God, and they shalbe my people.

¹⁵ He hath made the earth by his power, and established the world by his wisedome, and hath stretched out the heauen by his discretion.

⁴ And in thy natiuitie whe thou wast borne, thy nauell was not cut: thou wast not washed in water to soften thee: thou wast not salted with salt, nor swadled in cloutes. ⁵ None eye pitied thee to do any of these vnto thee, for to haue compassion vpon thee, but thou wast cast out in the open fielde to the contempt of thy person in ye day that thou wast borne.

¹⁵ I will feede my sheepe, and bring them to their rest, sayth the Lord God.

⁹ (Nowe God had brought Daniel into fauour, and tender loue with the chiefe of the Eunuches)

¹⁷ Beholde, our God whom we serue, is able to deliuer vs from the hote fierie fornace, and hee will deliuer vs out of thine hand, O King. ¹⁸ But if not, bee it knowen to thee, O King, that wee will not serue thy gods, nor worship the golden image, which thou hast set vp.

² And many of them that sleepe in the dust of the earth, shall awake, some to euerlasting life, and some to shame and perpetuall contempt. ³ And they that be wise, shall shine, as ye brightnes of the firmament: and they that turne many to righteousnes, shall shine as the starres, for euer and euer.

¹ Heare the worde of the Lord, ye children of Israel: for the Lord hath a controuersie with the inhabitants of the lande, because there is no trueth nor mercie nor knowledge of God in the lande.

⁶ My people are destroyed for lacke of knowledge: because thou hast refused knowledge, I will also refuse thee, that thou shalt be no Priest to me: and seeing thou hast forgotten the Lawe of thy God, I will also forget thy children.

²³ Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and reioyce in the Lord your God: for he hath giuen you the rayne of righteousnes, he wil cause to come downe for you the rayne, euen the first raine, and the latter raine in the first moneth. ²⁴ And the barnes shalbe full of wheate, and the presses shall abound with wine and oyle.

¹ Woe vnto them, that imagine iniquitie, and worke wickednesse vpon their beddes: when the morning is light they practise it because their hande hath power.

¹ Woe vnto them, that imagine iniquitie, and worke wickednesse vpon their beddes: when the morning is light they practise it because their hande hath power. ² And they couet fields, and take them by violence, and houses, and take them away: so they oppresse a man and his house, euen man and his heritage.

¹⁸ Who is a God like vnto thee, that taketh away iniquitie, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage! He reteineth not his wrath for euer, because mercie pleaseth him. ¹⁹ He will turne againe, and haue compassion vpon vs: he will subdue our iniquities, and cast all their sinnes into the bottome of the sea. ²⁰ Thou wilt perfourme thy trueth to Iaakob, and mercie to Abraham, as thou hast sworne vnto our fathers in olde time.

¹⁷ For the figtree shall not flourish, neither shall fruite be in the vines: the labour of the oliue shall faile, and the fieldes shall yeelde no meate: the sheepe shalbe cut off from the folde, and there shalbe no bullocke in the stalles. ¹⁸ But I will reioyce in the Lord: I will ioy in the God of my saluation.

⁴ Is it time for your selues to dwell in your sieled houses, and this House lie waste? ⁵ Now therefore thus saith ye Lord of hostes, Consider your owne wayes in your hearts. ⁶ Ye haue sowen much, and bring in litle: ye eate, but ye haue not ynough: ye drinke, but ye are not filled: ye clothe you, but ye be not warme: and he that earneth wages, putteth the wages into a broken bagge. ⁷ Thus sayth the Lord of hostes, Consider your owne wayes in your hearts. ⁸ Goe vp to the mountaine, and bring wood, and build this House, and I wil be fauourable in it, and I will be glorified, sayth the Lord. ⁹ Ye looked for much, and lo, it came to litle: and when ye brought it home, I did blowe vpon it. And why, sayth the Lord of hostes? Because of mine House that is waste, and ye runne euery man vnto his owne house.

¹⁹ Consider, I pray you, in your mindes, from this day, and afore from the foure and twentieth day of the ninth moneth, euen from the day that the foundation of the Lords Temple was laide: consider it in your mindes.

³ Then said he vnto me, This is the curse that goeth foorth ouer the whole earth: for euery one that stealeth, shalbe cut off aswell on this side, as on that: and euery one that sweareth, shall be cut off aswell on this side, as on that. ⁴ I will bring it forth, saith the Lord of hosts, and it shall enter into the house of the thiefe, and into the house of him, that falsely sweareth by my Name: and it shall remaine in the middes of his house, and shall consume it, with the timber thereof, and stones thereof.

¹² And I will strengthen them in the Lord, and they shall walke in his Name, sayth the Lord.

² If yee will not heare it, nor consider it in your heart, to giue glory vnto my Name, sayth the Lord of hostes, I will euen sende a curse vpon you, and will curse your blessings: yea, I haue cursed them alreadie, because yee doe not consider it in your heart.

⁶ The lawe of trueth was in his mouth, and there was no iniquitie founde in his lippes: hee walked with me in peace and equitie, and did turne many away from iniquitie.

⁸ Will a man spoyle his gods? yet haue ye spoyled me: but ye say, Wherein haue we spoyled thee? In tithes, and offerings. ⁹ Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye haue spoyled me, euen this whole nation. ¹⁰ Bring ye all the tythes into the storehouse that there may be meate in mine House, and proue me nowe herewith, sayeth the Lord of hostes, if I will not open the windowes of heauen vnto you, and powre you out a blessing without measure.

¹⁰ Bring ye all the tythes into the storehouse that there may be meate in mine House, and proue me nowe herewith, sayeth the Lord of hostes, if I will not open the windowes of heauen vnto you, and powre you out a blessing without measure. ¹¹ And I will rebuke the deuourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruite of your grounde, neither shall your vine be baren in the fielde, sayeth the Lord of hostes.

³⁹ But I say vnto you, Resist not euill: but whosoeuer shall smite thee on thy right cheeke, turne to him the other also. ⁴⁰ And if any man wil sue thee at the law, and take away thy coate, let him haue thy cloke also. ⁴¹ And whosoeuer will compell thee to goe a mile, goe with him twaine.

²⁴ And beholde, there arose a great tempest in the sea, so that the ship was couered with waues: but he was a sleepe. ²⁵ Then his disciples came, and awoke him, saying, Master, saue vs: we perish. ²⁶ And he said vnto them, Why are ye fearefull, O ye of litle faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea: and so there was a great calme.

⁴² And whosoeuer shall giue vnto one of these litle ones to drinke a cuppe of colde water onely, in the name of a disciple, verely I say vnto you, he shall not lose his rewarde.

²⁵ At that time Iesus answered, and saide, I giue thee thankes, O Father, Lord of heauen and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and men of vnderstanding, and hast opened them vnto babes.

²⁸ Come vnto me, all ye that are wearie and laden, and I will ease you. ²⁹ Take my yoke on you, and learne of me that I am meeke and lowly in heart: and ye shall finde rest vnto your soules. ³⁰ For my yoke is easie, and my burden light.

¹¹ And he answered, and said vnto them, Because it is giuen vnto you, to know the secretes of the kingdome of heauen, but to the it is not giue.

⁴⁴ Againe, the kingdom of heauen is like vnto a treasure hid in ye field, which when a man hath found, he hideth it, and for ioy thereof departeth and selleth all that he hath, and buieth that field. ⁴⁵ Againe, the kingdome of heauen is like to a marchant man, that seeketh good pearles, ⁴⁶ Who hauing found a pearle of great price, went and solde all that he had, and bought it.

²⁶ For what shall it profite a man though he should winne the whole worlde, if hee lose his owne soule? or what shall a man giue for recompence of his soule?

²³ Wo be to you, Scribes and Pharises, hypocrites: for ye tithe mynt, and annyse, and cummyn, and leaue the weightier matters of the law, as iudgement, and mercy and fidelitie. These ought ye to haue done, and not to haue left the other.

⁶ And ye shall heare of warres, and rumours of warres: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to passe, but the end is not yet.

¹⁵ When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation spoken of by Daniel the Prophet, set in the holy place (let him that readeth consider it.)

⁴⁰ Then he saide vnto them, Why are ye so fearefull? how is it that ye haue no faith?

³⁰ But he shall receiue an hundred folde, now at this present, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands with persecutions, and in the world to come, eternall life.

⁷ For yee haue the poore with you alwaies, and when yee will yee may doe them good, but me yee shall not haue alwaies. ⁸ She hath done that she coulde: she came afore hand to anoynt my body to the burying.

¹⁰ Then Iudas Iscariot, one of the twelue, went away vnto the hie Priestes, to betray him vnto them. ¹¹ And when they heard it, they were glad, and promised that they woulde giue him monie: therefore he sought howe he might conueniently betraie him. ¹² Nowe the first day of vnleauened bread, when they sacrificed the Passeouer, his disciples sayde vnto him, Where wilt thou that we goe and prepare, that thou mayest eate the Passeouer? ¹³ Then hee sent foorth two of his disciples, and sayde vnto them, Goe yee into the citie, and there shall a man meete you bearing a pitcher of water: follow him. ¹⁴ And whithersoeuer he goeth in, say yee to the good man of the house, The Master sayeth, Where is the lodging where I shall eate the Passeouer with my disciples? ¹⁵ And he wil shewe you an vpper chamber which is large, trimmed and prepared: there make it readie for vs. ¹⁶ So his disciples went foorth, and came to the citie, and found as he had said vnto them, and made readie the Passeouer. ¹⁷ And at euen he came with the twelue. ¹⁸ And as they sate at table and did eate, Iesus said, Verely I say vnto you, that one of you shall betray me, which eateth with me. ¹⁹ Then they began to be sorowful and to say to him one by one, Is it I? And another, Is it I? ²⁰ And he answered and sayde vnto them, It is one of the twelue that dippeth with mee in the platter. ²¹ Truely the Sonne of man goeth his way, as it is written of him: but woe bee to that man, by whome the Sonne of man is betrayed: it had beene good for that man, if hee had neuer beene borne.

⁷⁹ To giue light to them that sit in darknes, and in the shadow of death, and to guide our feete into the way of peace.

⁵² And Iesus increased in wisedome, and stature, and in fauour with God and men.

¹³ But when thou makest a feast, call ye poore, the maimed, the lame, and the blind, ¹⁴ And thou shalt be blessed, because they cannot recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the iust.

¹⁵ Then he sayde vnto them, Yee are they, which iustifie your selues before men: but God knoweth your heartes: for that which is highly esteemed among men, is abomination in the sight of God.

⁹ And when ye heare of warres and seditions, be not afraid: for these things must first come, but the ende foloweth not by and by.

¹⁸ Yet there shall not one heare of your heads perish. ¹⁹ By your patience possesse your soules. ²⁰ And when ye see Hierusalem besieged with souldiers, then vnderstand that the desolation thereof is neere. ²¹ Then let them which are in Iudea, flee to the mountaines: and let them which are in the middes thereof, depart out: and let not them that are in the countrey, enter therein. ²² For these be the dayes of vengeance, to fulfill all things that are written. ²³ But woe be to them that be with childe, and to them that giue sucke in those dayes: for there shalbe great distresse in this land, and wrath ouer this people. ²⁴ And they shall fall on the edge of the sword, and shalbe led captiue into all nations, and Hierusalem shalbe troden vnder foote of the Gentiles, vntill the time of the Gentiles be fulfilled. ²⁵ Then there shalbe signes in the sunne, and in the moone, and in the starres, and vpon the earth trouble among the nations with perplexitie: the sea and the waters shall roare. ²⁶ And mens hearts shall faile them for feare, and for looking after those thinges which shall come on the worlde: for the powers of heauen shall be shaken. ²⁷ And then shall they see the Sonne of man come in a cloude, with power and great glory. ²⁸ And when these things beginne to come to passe, then looke vp, and lift vp your heades: for your redemption draweth neere.

³ All things were made by it, and without it was made nothing that was made.

³¹ Then saide Iesus to the Iewes which beleeued in him, If ye continue in my worde, ye are verely my disciples,

⁴⁹ For I haue not spoken of my selfe: but the Father which sent me, hee gaue me a commandement what I should say, and what I should speake. ⁵⁰ And I knowe that his commandement is life euerlasting: the thinges therefore that I speake, I speake them so as the Father sayde vnto me.

¹ Let not your heart be troubled: ye beleeue in God, beleeue also in me.

²¹ He that hath my commandements, and keepeth them, is he that loueth me: and he that loueth me, shall be loued of my Father: and I will loue him, and wil shewe mine owne selfe to him. ²² Iudas sayd vnto him (not Iscariot) Lord, what is the cause that thou wilt shewe thy selfe vnto vs, and not vnto the world? ²³ Iesus answered, and sayd vnto him, If any man loue me, he will keepe my worde, and my Father will loue him, and we wil come vnto him, and wil dwell with him. ²⁴ He that loueth me not, keepeth not my wordes, and the worde which ye heare, is not mine, but the Fathers which sent me.

⁶ If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branche, and withereth: and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they burne. ⁷ If ye abide in me, and my wordes abide in you, aske what ye wil, and it shalbe done to you.

¹⁵ Henceforth call I you not seruants: for the seruant knoweth not what his master doeth: but I haue called you friends: for all things that I haue heard of my Father, haue I made knowen to you.

⁴⁷ Praysing God, and had fauour with all the people: and the Lord added to the Church from day to day, such as should be saued.

⁶ And when Herod woulde haue brought him out vnto the people, the same night slept Peter betweene two souldiers, bound with two chaines, and the keepers before the doore, kept the prison.

¹ Then being iustified by faith, we haue peace toward God through our Lord Iesus Christ.

¹⁸ For I count that the afflictions of this present time are not worthy of the glory, which shalbe shewed vnto vs.

²⁵ For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this secret (least ye should bee arrogant in your selues) that partly obstinacie is come to Israel, vntill the fulnesse of the Gentiles be come in.

¹⁶ Be of like affection one towardes another: be not hie minded: but make your selues equall to them of the lower sort: be not wise in your selues.

¹⁸ If it bee possible, as much as in you is, haue peace with all men. ¹⁹ Dearely beloued, auenge not your selues, but giue place vnto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine: I will repay, saith the Lord. ²⁰ Therefore, if thine enemie hunger, feede him: if he thirst, giue him drinke: for in so doing, thou shalt heape coales of fire on his head. ²¹ Bee not ouercome of euill, but ouercome euill with goodnesse.

⁷ Giue to all men therefore their duetie: tribute, to whome yee owe tribute: custome, to whom custome: feare, to whome feare: honour, to whom ye owe honour.

¹⁷ For the kingdome of God, is not meate nor drinke, but righteousnes, and peace, and ioye in the holy Ghost. ¹⁸ For whosoeuer in these things serueth Christ, is acceptable vnto God, and is approoued of men.

¹³ Nowe the God of hope fill you with all ioye, and peace in beleeuing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the holy Ghost.

¹⁸ Let no man deceiue himselfe: If any man among you seeme to be wise in this world, let him be a foole, that he may be wise. ¹⁹ For the wisdome of this worlde is foolishnesse with God: for it is written, He catcheth the wise in their owne craftinesse. ²⁰ And againe, The Lord knoweth that the thoughtes of the wise be vaine. ²¹ Therefore let no man reioyce in men: for all things are yours. ²² Whether it be Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death: whether they be things present, or thinges to come, euen all are yours, ²³ And ye Christes, and Christ Gods.

⁶ But a brother goeth to law with a brother, and that vnder the infidels. ⁷ Nowe therefore there is altogether infirmitie in you, in that yee goe to lawe one with another: why rather suffer ye not wrong? why rather susteine yee not harme? ⁸ Nay, yee your selues doe wrong, and doe harme, and that to your brethren.

¹ And as touching things sacrificed vnto idols, wee knowe that wee all haue knowledge: knowledge puffeth vp, but loue edifieth. ² Nowe, if any man thinke that hee knoweth any thing, hee knoweth nothing yet as hee ought to knowe.

³¹ Whether therefore ye eate, or drinke, or whatsoeuer ye doe, doe all to the glory of God.

³² But when we are iudged, we are chastened of the Lord, because we should not be condemned with the world.

² Euery first day of the weeke, let euery one of you put aside by himselfe, and lay vp as God hath prospered him, that then there be no gatherings when I come.

³ In that yee are manifest, to be the Epistle of Christ, ministred by vs, and written, not with yncke, but with the Spirite of the liuing God, not in tables of stone, but in fleshly tables of the heart.

¹ Therefore, seeing that we haue this ministerie, as we haue receiued mercy, we faint not:

¹⁶ Therefore we faint not, but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed daily. ¹⁷ For our light affliction which is but for a moment, causeth vnto vs a farre most excellent and an eternall waight of glorie:

¹⁰ As sorowing, and yet alway reioycing: as poore, and yet make many riche: as hauing nothing, and yet possessing all things.

² Because in great triall of affliction their ioy abounded, and their most extreme pouertie abounded vnto their rich liberalitie. ³ For to their power (I beare record) yea, and beyonde their power, they were willing,

⁸ This say I not by commandement, but because of the diligence of others: therefore prooue I the naturalnesse of your loue. ⁹ For ye knowe the grace of our Lord Iesus Christ, that hee being rich, for your sakes became poore, that yee through his pouertie might be made rich.

¹¹ Nowe therefore performe to doe it also, that as there was a readinesse to will, euen so yee may performe it of that which yee haue.

¹⁶ And thanks be vnto God, which hath put in the heart of Titus the same care for you.

³ Nowe haue I sent the brethren, lest our reioycing ouer you shoulde bee in vaine in this behalfe, that yee (as I haue sayde) be readie:

⁶ This yet remember, that he which soweth sparingly, shall reape also sparingly, and hee that soweth liberally, shall reape also liberally. ⁷ As euery man wisheth in his heart, so let him giue, not grudgingly, or of necessitie: for God loueth a cheerefull giuer. ⁸ And God is able to make all grace to abound towarde you, that yee alwayes hauing all sufficiencie in all thinges, may abounde in euery good worke, ⁹ (As it is written, He hath sparsed abroad and hath giuen to the poore: his beneuolence remayneth for euer. ¹⁰ Also hee that findeth seede to the sower, will minister likewise bread for foode, and multiplie your seede, and increase the fruites of your beneuolence,) ¹¹ That on all partes yee may bee made rich vnto all liberalitie, which causeth through vs thankesgiuing vnto God.

²¹ Enuie, murthers, drunkennesse, gluttonie, and such like, whereof I tell you before, as I also haue tolde you before, that they which doe such things, shall not inherite the kingdome of God.

¹⁰ While we haue therefore time, let vs doe good vnto all men, but specially vnto them, which are of the housholde of faith.

¹² That we, which first trusted in Christ, should be vnto the praise of his glorie:

¹ Bee yee therefore followers of God, as deare children, ² And walke in loue, euen as Christ hath loued vs, and hath giuen himselfe for vs, to be an offering and a sacrifice of a sweete smellling sauour to God.

⁹ (For the fruit of the Spirit is in al goodnes, and righteousnes, and trueth)

¹ Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right. ² Honour thy father and mother (which is the first commandement with promise) ³ That it may be well with thee, and that thou mayst liue long on earth.

⁸ Yea, doubtlesse I thinke all thinges but losse for the excellent knowledge sake of Christ Iesus my Lord, for whome I haue counted all things losse, and doe iudge them to bee dongue, that I might winne Christ, ⁹ And might bee founde in him, that is, not hauing mine owne righteousnesse, which is of the Lawe, but that which is through the faith of Christ, euen the righteousnesse which is of God through faith,

⁶ Be nothing carefull, but in all thinges let your requestes be shewed vnto God in praier, and supplication with giuing of thankes.

⁸ Furthermore, brethre, whatsoeuer things are true, whatsoeuer things are honest, whatsoeuer thinges are iust, whatsoeuer thinges are pure, whatsoeuer thinges are worthie loue, whatsoeuer things are of good report, if there be any vertue, or if there be any praise, thinke on these things, ⁹ Which yee haue both learned and receiued, and heard, and seene in mee: those things doe, and the God of peace shalbe with you.

¹⁷ Not that I desire a gift: but I desire the fruit which may further your reckoning. ¹⁸ Now I haue receiued all, and haue plentie: I was euen filled, after that I had receiued of Epaphroditus that which came from you, an odour that smellleth sweete, a sacrifice acceptable and pleasant to God.

¹⁷ And whatsoeuer ye shall doe, in worde or deede, doe all in the Name of the Lord Iesus, giuing thankes to God euen the Father by him.

²³ And whatsoeuer ye doe, doe it heartily, as to the Lord, and not to men,

¹³ I would not, brethren, haue you ignorant concerning them which are a sleepe, that ye sorow not euen as other which haue no hope. ¹⁴ For if we beleeue that Iesus is dead, and is risen, euen so them which sleepe in Iesus, will God bring with him.

⁸ For bodily exercise profiteth litle: but godlinesse is profitable vnto all things, which hath the promise of the life present, and of that that is to come.

¹⁸ That they doe good, and be riche in good woorkes, and readie to distribute, and comunicate,

²⁴ But the seruant of ye Lord must not striue, but must be gentle toward all men, apt to teache, suffering the euill,

¹⁴ Who gaue him selfe for vs, that hee might redeeme vs from all iniquitie, and purge vs to bee a peculiar people vnto himselfe, zealous of good woorkes.

¹ Wherefore wee ought diligently to giue heede to the thinges which wee haue heard, lest at any time we runne out. ² For if the worde spoken by Angels was stedfast, and euery transgression, and disobedience receiued a iust recompence of reward, ³ How shall we escape, if we neglect so great saluation, which at the first began to be preached by the Lord, and afterward was confirmed vnto vs by them that heard him,

¹⁶ This is the Testament that I will make vnto them after those dayes, sayth the Lord, I wil put my Lawes in their heart, and in their mindes I will write them.

³ Consider therefore him that endured such speaking against of sinners, lest ye should be wearied and faint in your mindes.

⁵ And ye haue forgotten the consolation, which speaketh vnto you as vnto children, My sonne, despise not the chastening of the Lord, neither faint when thou art rebuked of him. ⁶ For whom the Lord loueth, he chasteneth: and he scourgeth euery sonne that he receiueth: ⁷ If ye endure chastening, God offereth him selfe vnto you as vnto sonnes: for what sonne is it whom the father chasteneth not? ⁸ If therefore ye be without correction, whereof al are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sonnes. ⁹ Moreouer we haue had the fathers of our bodies which corrected vs, and we gaue them reuerence: should we not much rather be in subiection vnto the father of spirites, that we might liue? ¹⁰ For they verely for a few dayes chastened vs after their owne pleasure: but he chasteneth vs for our profite, that we might be partakers of his holinesse. ¹¹ Now no chastising for the present seemeth to be ioyous, but, grieuous: but afterwarde, it bringeth the quiet fruite of righteousnesse, vnto them which are thereby exercised. ¹² Wherfore lift vp your hands which hang downe, and your weake knees,

⁵ If any of you lacke wisedome, let him aske of God, which giueth to all men liberally, and reprocheth no man, and it shalbe giuen him.

¹⁵ For if a brother or a sister bee naked and destitute of daily foode, ¹⁶ And one of you say vnto them, Depart in peace: warme your selues, and fil your bellies, notwithstading ye giue them not those things which are needefull to the body, what helpeth it?

⁶ But the Scripture offereth more grace, and therefore sayth, God resisteth the proude, and giueth grace to the humble.

⁴ Behold, the hire of ye labourers, which haue reaped your fieldes (which is of you kept backe by fraude) cryeth, and the cryes of them which haue reaped, are entred into the eares of the Lord of hostes.

¹⁴ Notwithstanding blessed are ye, if ye suffer for righteousnes sake. Yea, feare not their feare, neither be troubled.

⁵ Likewise ye yonger, submit your selues vnto the elders, and submit your selues euery man, one to another: decke your selues inwardly in lowlinesse of minde: for God resisteth the proude, and giueth grace to the humble.

²⁴ Let therefore abide in you that same which ye haue heard from the beginning. If that which ye haue heard from the beginning, shall remaine in you, ye also shall continue in the Sonne, and in the Father.

²⁷ But that anointing which ye receiued of him, dwelleth in you: and ye neede not that any man teach you: but as the same Anoynting teacheth you of all things, and it is true, and is not lying, and as it taught you, ye shall abide in him.

¹⁷ And whosoeuer hath this worlds good, and seeth his brother haue neede, and shutteth vp his compassion from him, howe dwelleth the loue of God in him? ¹⁸ My litle children, let vs not loue in worde, neither in tongue onely, but in deede and in trueth.

⁷ Let him that hath an eare, heare, what the Spirite saith vnto the Churches, To him that ouercommeth, will I giue to eate of the tree of life which is in the middes of the Paradise of God.

¹⁷ Let him that hath an eare, heare what the Spirite saith vnto the Churches. To him that ouercommeth, will I giue to eate of the Manna that is hid, and will giue him a white stone, and in the stone a newe name written, which no man knoweth sauing he that receiueth it.

¹⁸ I counsell thee to bye of me gold tried by the fire, that thou maiest bee made rich: and white raiment, that thou maiest be clothed, and that thy filthie nakednesse doe not appeare: and anoynt thine eyes with eye salue, that thou maiest see. ¹⁹ As many as I loue, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore and amend.

² In the middes of the street of it, and of either side of ye riuer, was the tree of life, which bare twelue maner of fruits, and gaue fruit euery moneth: and the leaues of the tree serued to heale the nations with.
