⁵ After that shalt thou come to the hyll of God, where the Philistines kepe their watche. And when thou art come thyther to the cytie, thou shalt mete a companye of prophetes comminge downe from the hill, wt a psalter, a tymbrell, a pype, & a harpe before them, & they shall prophesye.

⁵ And Dauid and all the house of Israel playde before the Lorde in sondrye instrumentes made of Cedre wodd, with harpes, psalteries, timberelles, fedylles, and symbals. ⁶ And when they cam to Nachons thresshyng floure, Uza put his hand to the arck of God, and held it, for the oxen stombled. ⁷ And the Lorde was wroth wyth Uza, and God smote him in the same place for his fault, and there he dyed before the Arcke of God. ⁸ And Dauid was displeased, because the Lord had smytten Uza. And the name of the place was called Perez. The renting of Uza, vntyll thys daye. ⁹ And Dauid was then afrayed of the Lorde, and sayde: how shall the Arcke of the Lorde come to me? ¹⁰ And so Dauid wolde not bryng the Arcke of the Lorde vnto him into the citye of Dauid. But Dauid caried it into the house of Obeth Edom a Gethite. ¹¹ And the Arcke of the Lord continued in the house of Obeth Edom the Gethite, thre monethes, and the Lorde blessed Obeth Edom, and all hys housholde. ¹² And one tolde kynge Dauid, how that the Lorde had blessed the house of Obeth Edom, and all that pertayned vnto hym, because of the Arcke of God. And Dauid went and brought the Arck of God from the house of Obeth Edom, into the citye of Dauid wyth gladnes. ¹³ And when they that bare the Arcke of the Lorde, had gone syxe spaces, he offered an oxe and a fat shepe. ¹⁴ And Dauid daunsed before the Lorde withall his myght, and was gyrded with a lynnen Ephod. ¹⁵ So Dauid and all the house of Israel brought the arck of the Lorde, wyth showtyng and trompet blowyng. ¹⁶ And it fortuned, that as the arcke of the Lorde cam into the citye of Dauid, Michol Sauls daughter loked thorow a window, and saw kynge Dauid spryng, and daunce before the Lorde, and she dyspysed hym in her hert. ¹⁷ And when they brought in the Arck of the Lorde, they set it in his place, euen in the myddes of the tabernacle that Dauid had pitched for it. And Dauid offered burnt offeringes & peace offeringes before the lord. ¹⁸ And as sone as Dauid had made an ende of offeryng burnt offerynges & peace offerynges, he blessed the people in the name of the Lord of Hostes, ¹⁹ & gaue among all the folke, euen amonge the hole multitude of Israel, as well to the wemen as men, to euerye one a Cake of breed, & a pece of fleshe, & a flasket of drincke. And so all the people departed euery one to his house. ²⁰ Then Dauid returned to blesse hys housholde: and Michol the daughter of Saul came out to mete Dauid, & sayd: O how glorious was the king of Israel this daye, which was vncouered to daye, in the eyes of the maydens of his seruauntes, as yf it had bene a lyght brayned felow vncouered? ²¹ And Dauid sayd vnto Michol. I thought to daunce before the Lord, which chose me rather then thy father, & all his kynne, and commaundyd me to be ruler ouer all the people of the Lord euen ouer Israel. ²² And therfore will I playe before the Lorde. And wilbe yet more vyle then so, & wilbe meke in myne awne syght: & of the very same maydeseruauntes which thou hast spoken of: shal I be had in honoure ²³ Therfore Michol the daughter of Saul had no chylde, vnto the daye of her deeth.

¹⁵ But nowe bringe me a mynstrell. And whan the mynstrell played, the hande of the Lorde came vpon him.

¹⁰ Of the sonnes of Uziel: Aminadab the chefe, and of hys brethren an hundred and twelue. ¹¹ And Dauid called Zadock and Abiathar the preastes, and the Leuites, Uziel, Asaia Ioel, Semaia, Eliel and Aminadab: ¹² & sayde vnto them: ye that are the princypall fathers of the Leuites, se that ye be holy with youre brethren, that ye maye bringe in the Arcke of the Lorde God of Israel, vnto the place that I haue prepared for it. ¹³ For because ye were not there at the fyrst, the Lord oure God made a rent amonge vs, for that we sought hym not as the fasshyon ought to be. ¹⁴ So the preastes and the Leuites sanctifyed them selues, to fett the Arcke of the Lord God of Israel. ¹⁵ And the children of the Leuites bare the Arcke of God, vpon theyr shulders with staues theron, as Moses commaunded accordynge to the worde of the Lorde. ¹⁶ And Dauid spake to the chefe heedes of the Leuites, that they shulde appoynte certayne of theyr brethren to synge with instrumentes of Musicke, psalteries, harpes and symbales that they might make a sounde, and to synge on hye with Ioyfulnesse: ¹⁷ And the Leuites appoynted Heman the sonne of Ioel: and (of his brethren) Asaph the sonne of Berechia. And of the sonnes of Merari and of theyr brethren Ethan the sonne of Cusaiahu. ¹⁸ And with them theyr brethren of the seconde degree: Zacharia, Ben, Iaaziel, Semiramoth, Iehiel, Unni, Eliab, Benaiahu, Maasiah, Mathathiahu, Eliphalehu, Mikniahu, Obed Edom, & Iaiel, porters. ¹⁹ So Heman, Asaph & Ethan the syngers made a sounde with symbales of brasse ²⁰ And Zacharia, Aziel, Semiramoth, Iehiel, Unni, Eliab, Maasaiahu and Banaiahu played with psalteries on an Alamoth. ²¹ Mathatiahu, Eliphalehu, Mikniahu, Obed Edom, Ieiel, and Azaziah played vpon harpes an eyght aboue, with courage. ²² And Chenaniahu the chefe of the Leuites, was master of the songe, for he taught other to synge, because he was a man of vnderstandynge. ²³ Berecia and Elcana kepte the dore of the Arcke. ²⁴ And Secamahu, Iehosaphat, Nethanael, Amasai, Zachariahu, Banaiahu & Eliezeer the preastes dyd blowe with trompettes before the Arcke of God. And Obed Edom and Iehia were kepers of the dore of the arcke.

²⁸ And all they of Israel brought the Arcke of the Lordes couenaunt with showtynge, and blowyng of the shawme and trompettes: makynge a noyse with symbales, psalteryes, and harpes.

⁵ And Asaph was the chefe, & next to hym Zacharia, Ieiel, Semiramoth, Iehiel, Mathathia, Eliab, Benaia, Obed Edom, & Ieiel with psalteries & harpes. But Asaph made a sounde with symbales.

⁴² And with them dyd Heman and Ieduthun, synge with the trompettes & symbales makynge a swete melody with instrumentes of Musycke and godly songes. And the sonnes of Ieduthun were porters.

⁵ Foure thousande were porters and foure thousande praysed the Lorde with soche instrumentes as was made to prayse wyth all.

¹ And so Dauid and the captaynes of the hoste appoynted out to do seruyce, the sonnes of Asaph Heman and Ieduthun, whan they dyd prophesye wyth harpes, psalteries and simbales. And there was a multitude of the men that were appoynted to the seruyce and mynistracyon. ² Of the sonnes of Asaph: Zaccur, Ioseph, Nathania and Aserela that wayted on Asaph, whych prophesyed by the kynge. ³ Of Ieduthun: the sonnes of Ieduthun: Gedeliahu, Zeri, Iesaiahu, Hasabiahu, and Mathithiahu syxe, vnder the handes of theyr father Ieduthun, whych prophesyed wyth a harpe, for to geue thankes & prayses vnto the lord. ⁴ Of Heman the sonnes of Heman: Buklahu, Mathaniahu, Uziel, Zebuel, Ierimoth, Hanania, Hanani, Eliatha, Gedalthi, Romanthi, Ezer, Iosbekasa, malothi. Hothir, & Mahazioth. ⁵ All these were the sonnes of Heman which was the kynges Sear in the wordes of God to lyfte vp the horne of the regall dignitie. And God gaue to Heman .xiiij. sonnes and the daughters. ⁶ All these also were at the hande of their father synging in the house of the Lorde wt simbales, psalteries & harpes, whan Asaph Ieduthun and Heman executed the seruyce in the house of God, at the kinges hande.

⁵ God is gone vp wyth a mery noyse, & the Lord wyth the sownde of the trompe.

²⁵ The syngers go before, the mynstrels folow after: in the myddes are the damosels playeng with the tymbrels. ²⁶ Geue thankes O Israell, vnto God the Lorde in the congregacions from the grounde of the hart. ²⁷ There is lytle BenIamin their ruler: and the Princes of Iuda, their councell: the Princes of Zabulon, and the Prynces of Nephthali.

³ Prayse hym in the sounde of the trompet, prayse hym vpon the lute & harpe. ⁴ Prayse him in the cymbales and daunse, prayse him vpon the strynges and pype. ⁵ Prayse hym vpon the welltuned cymbales, prayse hym vpon the loude cymbales.

⁵ that when ye heare the noyse of the trompettes, which shalbe blowen, with the harpes, shawmes, Psalteries, Symphonies and all maner of Musick: ye fall downe and worshippe the golden Image, that Nabuchodonosor the kynge hath set vp. ⁶ Whoso then falleth not downe & boweth him selfe, shall euen the same houre be cast into an hote burnynge ouen. ⁷ Therfore, when all the folcke herde the noyse of the trompettes that were blowen, with the harpes, shawmes, Psalteries, Symphonies and all kynde of Melody, then all the people, kynreddes and nacyons fell downe, and bowed them selues vnto the golden Image, that Nabuchodonosor the kynge had set vp.

²³ Awaye with that noyse of thy songes, I will not heare thy playes of musyck:

⁵ ye that synge to the lute, and in playenge of instrumentes compare youre selues vnto Dauid: ⁶ And when they cam to Nachons thresshyng floure, Uza put his hand to the arck of God, and held it, for the oxen stombled.

¹ And Nadab and Abihu the sonnes of Aaron toke ether of them his censor, & put fyre therin, & put cens ther vpon, & offred straunge fyre before the Lord whych he commaunded them not, ² & there went a fyre out from the Lorde, and consumed them, & they dyed before the Lord. ³ Then Moses sayde vnto Aaron: thys is it that the Lorde spake sayinge: I wyll be sanctifyed in them that come nye me and before all the people I wilbe glorifyed. And Aaron helde hys peace.

³⁵ And there came oute a fyer from the Lorde, and consumed the two hundred and fyftye men that offred cens.

⁶ And Iosua the sonne of Nun, called the preastes, and sayde vnto them: take vp the arcke of the appointement, & lett seuen preastes beare seuen trompettes of rammes hornes before the arcke of the Lorde,

¹⁹ And he plaged the men of Bethsames, because they had sene the arcke of the Lorde. And he slue amonge the people fiftye thousande and thre score and ten men. And the other people lamented, because the Lorde had slayne the people with so great a slaughter.

¹⁵ And the children of the Leuites bare the Arcke of God, vpon theyr shulders with staues theron, as Moses commaunded accordynge to the worde of the Lorde.

¹⁶ But in his strength, his hert arose to hys destruction: For he transgressed agaynst the Lorde hys God, & went into the temple of the Lorde, to burne cense vpon the alter of incense. ¹⁷ And Asariahu the preaste went in after him, and with him foure skore preastes of the Lorde that were valeaunt men. ¹⁸ And they stode by Uzia the kynge, and sayde vnto hym: it pertayneth not to the Uzia to burne incense vnto the Lorde, but to the preastes the chyldren of Aaron, that are consecrate for to offre incense. Come therfore out of the sanctuarye for thou hast trespaced, and it is no worshyp to the before the Lorde God. ¹⁹ And Uzia was wroth, & had incense in his hande to burne it: & so whyle he had indignacyon agaynst the preastes, the leprosye sprange in his foreheed before the preastes in the house of the Lorde, euen besyde the incense aulter. ²⁰ And Asariahu the chefe preaste with all the other preastes loked vpon him: and beholde, he was become a leper in his foreheed, & they vexed him thence. And he was fayne to go out, because the Lorde had smitten hym.

³⁰ For this cause many are weake and sycke amonge you, and many slepe. ³¹ For If we had iudged oure selues, we shuld not haue bene iudged. ³² But when we are iudged of the Lorde, we are chastened, that we shulde not be damned with the worlde.

³² And therfore is it that the chyldren of Israell eate not of the senow that shranke in that place of the thye, vnto thys daye: because that he touched the place of Iacobs thye in the senow that shroncke.

⁶ And he buryed him in a valey in the lande of Moab ouer agaynst the house of Peor, but no man knoweth of his sepulchre vnto this daye.

⁹ And Iosua set vp twelue stones also in the myddes of Iordan, in the place where the fete of the preastes which bare the arcke of the testament, stode. And there haue they continued vnto this daye.

⁷ And the Lorde was wroth wyth Uza, and God smote him in the same place for his fault, and there he dyed before the Arcke of God.

⁹ And Dauid was then afrayed of the Lorde, and sayde: how shall the Arcke of the Lorde come to me?

⁴ Then sayde the Lord: art thou so angrie?

⁹ And God sayd vnto Ionas: Art thou so angrie for the wylde vyne? And he sayd: yee, very angrie am I, euen vnto the deeth.

¹² And the children of Israel spake vnto Moses, saying: beholde, we are wasted awaye & consumed: we all come to naught: ¹³ whosoeuer commeth nye the dwellyng of the Lord, dyeth. Shall we vtterly consume awaye?

¹⁰ Therfore they sent the arcke of God to Akaron. And assone as the arcke of God, came to Akaron, the Akaronites cryed out saying: they haue brought the arcke of the God of Israel to vs, to slee vs and oure people: ¹¹ And so they sent, and gathered together all the lordes of the Philistines & sayde: send awaye the arcke of the God of Israel, to go agayne to his awne place, that it slee vs not and oure people. For there was greate lamentacyon ouer the deade thorowout all the cytie, & the hande of God was exceadynge sore there.

²⁰ Wherfore the men of Bethsames sayde: who is able to stande before the Lord so holy a God: and to whom shall he go from vs?

²⁷ Will God in dede dwell on the erth? Beholde the heauens, and heauens of all heauens are not able to conteyne the. And howe shulde than this house do it, that I haue builded?

⁵ Beholde, the Moone shyneth nothynge in comparison to him, and the starres are vncleane in his sight. ⁶ How moche more then man, that is but corrupcion: and the sonne of man, which is but a worme?

¹²⁰ My fleshe trembleth for feare of the, and I am afrayed of thy iudgementes.

⁵ Then I sayde, O wo is me For I am lost in asmoch as I am a man of vncleane lyppes, & dwell amonge people that hath vncleane lyppes also: for myne eyes haue sene the Kynge and Lorde of Hoostes.

²⁴ Then he whych had receaued the one talent, came, & sayd: Sir I knewe the that thou art an harde man: reaping where thou hast not sowen, & gathering where thou hast not strawed,

⁸ When Simon Peter sawe thys, he fell downe at Iesus knees, saying: Lord, go from me, for I am a sinful man. ⁹ For he was astonnyed & all that were with hym, at the draught of fysshes which they had taken:

³ And these Berothites fled to Gitthaim, and soiourned there vntill the same tyme.

¹⁸ And with them theyr brethren of the seconde degree: Zacharia, Ben, Iaaziel, Semiramoth, Iehiel, Unni, Eliab, Benaiahu, Maasiah, Mathathiahu, Eliphalehu, Mikniahu, Obed Edom, & Iaiel, porters.

⁴ The sonnes of Obed Edom: Semeia the eldest, Iehosabad the seconde, Ioah the thyrde, Sacar the fourth, & Nethanael the fyfte,

⁸ All these were of the chyldren of Obed Edom, they and their children, and their brethren, actiue men and of strength to do seruice, euen .lxii. of Obed Edom.

²⁷ To whom Laban answered: yf I haue founde fauoure in thy syght (for I suppose that the Lord hath blessed me for thy sake)

⁵ And it fortuned from the tyme that he had made him rular ouer hys house and ouer all that he had, the Lorde blessed the Egyptyans house for Iosephs sake, and the blessynge of the Lorde was vpon all that he had: in the house, and in the felde.

⁴ The sonnes of Obed Edom: Semeia the eldest, Iehosabad the seconde, Ioah the thyrde, Sacar the fourth, & Nethanael the fyfte, ⁵ Amiel the syxte, Isachar the seuenth, Peulthai the .viij. for God blessed hym.

⁹ Honoure the Lord wt thy substaunce: and with thy firstlinges of all thyne encrease ¹⁰ so shall thy barnes be fylled with plenteousnesse: and thy presses shall flowe ouer with swete wyne.

²² The blessynge of the Lorde maketh ryche men as for carefull trauayle, it doth nothynge therto.

¹⁰ Bringe euery Tithe into my barne, that there maye be meat in myne house: and proue me withall (sayeth the Lorde of hoostes) yf I wyll not open the wyndowes of heauen vnto you, and poure you out a blessyng with plenteousnesse. ¹¹ Yee, I shall reproue the consumer for your sakes, so that he shall not eate vp the frute of youre grounde, nether shall the vynyarde be baren in the felde, sayeth the Lorde of hostes:
