Therfore he charged and commaunded, that the ouen shuld be made seuen tymes hotter, then it was wonte to be: ²⁰ & spake vnto the strongest worthies that were in his hoste, for to bynde Sidrach, Misach and Abednago, and to cast them into the hote burnynge ouen. ²¹ So these men were bounde in their cotes hosen, shues wyth their other garmentes, & cast into the hote burnynge ouen: ²² for the kynges commaundement was so strayte, and the ouen was excedynge hote.

And so Sidrach, Misach & Abednago went out of the fier. ²⁷ Then the dukes, lordes & nobles, & the kinges councell came together to se these men, vpon whom the fyer had no maner of power in theyr bodies. In somoch that the very here of their heed was not burnt, & theyr clothes vnchaunged: yee, there was no smell of fier felt vpon them. ²⁸ Then spake Nabuchodonosor, and sayde, Blessed be the God of Sidrach, Misach and Abednago: which hath sent his angell, and defended his seruauntes, that put theyr trust in him: that haue altered the kinges commaundement: and ieoperde their bodies ther vpon: rather then they wolde serue or worshippe eny other God, excepte their awne God onely.

⁸ And Zache stode forth, and sayd vnto the Lorde: beholde Lorde, the halfe of my goodes I geue to the poore: and yf I haue done eny man wronge, I restore him foure folde.

³ And he sayde: of a trueth I saye vnto you, that thys poore wyddow hath put in moare then they all. ⁴ For they all haue of theyr superfluyte added vnto the offerynges of God: but she, of her penury hath cast in all the substaunce that she had.

⁶³ It is the sprete that quyckeneth, the flesh proffyteth nothinge. The wordes that I speake vnto you, are sprete and lyfe.

⁴³ For they loued the prayse of men, more then the prayse of God.

³⁷ Peter sayd vnto him: Lorde, why cannot I folowe the now: I wyl ieoparde my lyfe for thy sake?

¹³ Greater loue hath no man, then thys: that a man bestowe hys lyfe for his frendes.

So that Chryst be preached anye maner of waye, whether it be by occasyon, or of true meaninge, I am glad therof, ye and wyll be glad.

²⁰ accordinge to my expectacion, and hope, that in nothinge I shalbe ashamed: but that wyth all boldnesse, (as all wayes euen so nowe also) Christ shall be magnifyed in my body, whether it be thorowe lyfe, or thorowe deeth. ²¹ For Christ is to me lyfe, and deeth is to me auauntage.

⁸ For bodely exercyse profyteth lytell: but godlynes is profytable vnto all thynges, as a thinge which hath promyses of the lyfe that is nowe, & of the lyfe to come.

¹¹ And hys brethren hated him, but hys father noted the sayinge.

²¹ And Dauid sayde: in vayne haue I kept all that this felow hath in the wildernesse: so that nought was myssed of all that pertayned vnto hym.

³³ Blessed is thy sayeng, & blessed art thou, which hast kept me thys daye from coming to shede bloud, and from aduengyng my self with myne awne hand. ³⁴ For in very deade, as sure as the Lord God of Israel lyueth, which hath kept me backe from hurtyng the, excepte thou haddest hasted and met me, thinkest thou, there had bene left vnto Nabal by the dawnyng of the daye, a pisser agaynst the wall?

¹⁰ And Benhadad sent vnto hym agayne, and sayd: and thus do the Gods vnto me, yf the dust of Samaria be ynough for all the people that folowe me, to take euery man an handfull. ¹¹ And the kynge of Israel answered, & sayde: tell hym: let not him that putteth on his harnesse boste hym selfe, as he that putteth it of.

¹⁷ and wolde not obeye, nether were myndefull of the wonders that thou dyddest for them: but became obstynate and heady, in so moche, that they turned backe to theyr bondage for theyr disobedyence.

¹⁴ The beginninge of stryfe is as when a man maketh an Issue for water, therfore or the metynge be leaue of contencyon.

²² It is a mans worship to do good: & better it is to be a pore man then a dissembler.

⁸ Be not hastie to go to the lawe, lest happlye thou do some offence after the strife be ended wherby thy neyghbour put the to shame. ⁹ Handle thy matter wt thy neyghbour him selfe, and discouer not another mans secrete: ¹⁰ lest when men heare therof, it turne to thy disshonoure, and least thyne euell name do not ceasse.

²⁶ She openeth her mouth with wysdome, and in her tonge is the lawe of grace.

³⁵ But loue ye youre enemyes, and do good, and lende, lokynge for nothynge agayne: and your reward shalbe greate, and ye shalbe the chyldren of the hyest: for he is kynde vnto the vnkynde and to the euyll. ³⁶ Be ye therfore mercyfull, as your father also is mercyfull.

⁶ in purenes, in knowledge, in longe suffring, in kyndenes, in the holy ghost, in loue vnfayned,

²⁰ Agayne, thynke you that we excuse our selues vnto you? we spake in Christ in the syght of of God: but we do all thinges (dearly beloued) for youre edifyinge.

²¹ enuyinge, murther, dronkennes, glottonye, and soche lyke: of the which I tell you before as I haue told you in tyme past, that they which commyt soch thinges shall not be inheritours of the kyngdome of God. ²² Contrarely, the frute of the sprete is, loue, ioye, peace, longe sufferinge, gentylnes, goodnes, faythfulnes,

¹¹ Dearly beloued, yf God so loued vs, we ought also to loue one another.

³ But Moses was a very meke man, aboue all the men of the earth.

¹⁵ And Moses waxed very angry, & sayde vnto the Lorde. Turne not thou vnto theyr offeryng. I haue not taken so muche as an asse from them, neyther haue I hurte any of them.

¹⁰ And Moses & Aaron gethered the congregacyon together before the rocke: and Moses sayde vnto them: heare ye rebellyons, must we fett you water oute of thys rocke? ¹¹ And Moses lyfte vp hys hande, and with hys rodd he smote the rocke two tymes, and the water came oute aboundantly, and the multitude drancke and theyr beastes also. ¹² And the Lorde spake vnto Moses & Aaron: because ye beleued me not, to sanctifye me in the eyes of the chyldren of Israel, therfore ye shall not brynge thys congregacyon into the lande whyche I haue geuen them.

³ and the Lordes of the children of Ammon sayd vnto Hanon their Lord: thynkest thou that Dauid dothe honoure thy father, that he hath sent comfortoures to the? Hath not Dauid rather sent his seruauntes vnto the, to searche the cytie, & to spye it out, and to ouerthrow it?

²⁷ Beholde, I knowe what ye thincke, yee, and the sotiltye that ye ymagyn agaynst me.

³² They angered him also at the waters of stryfe, so that he punyshed Moses for their sakes. ³³ Because they prouoked his sprete, so that he spake vnaduisedly with his lyppes.

¹⁷ An vnpacyent man dealeth folyshly: but he that is well aduysed, is hated of the fole.

⁵ The people also shalbe pylled and polled, and one shall euer be doynge violence and wronge to another. The boye shall presume agaynst the elder, and the vyle persone agaynst the honorable.

¹⁹ But I am (as a meke lambe an oxe) that is caryed awaye to be slayne, not knowynge, that they had deuysed soch a councell agaynst me, sayeng: We wyll destroye his meate with wodd, & dryue him out of the land, of the lyuyng: that his name shall neuer be thought vpon.

¹⁸ Then sayde they come, let vs ymagen somthynge agaynst this Ieremye. For the prestes shall not be destitute of the lawe, nether shall the wysemen de destitute of councel, ner the prophetes destitute of the worde of God. Come, and let vs smyte him with the tong, and let vs marke all his wordes. ¹⁹ Consydre me, O Lord, and heare the voyce of myne enemies ²⁰ shall they recompence euell for good? for they haue digged a pit for my soule. Remembre, howe that I stode before the, to speake good for them, & to turne awaye thy wrath from them.

¹³ Moreouer, Iohanan the sonne of Careah and all the captaynes of the Hoste, that were scatred on euery syde in the lande, cam to Godoliah in Mizpa, & sayde vnto him. ¹⁴ knowest thou not that Baalis kynge of the Ammonites hath sent Ismael the sonne of Nathaniah, to slaye the? But Godoliah the sonne of Ahicam beleued them not. ¹⁵ Then sayde Iohanan the sonne of Careah vnto Godoliah in Mizpa these wordes secretly: Let me go, I praye the, and I will slaye Ismael the sonne of Nathaniah, so that no body shall knowe it. Wherfore will he kyll the, that all the Iewes which resorte vnto the, might be scatred and the remnaunt in Iuda peryshe. ¹⁶ And Godoliah the sonne of Ahikam sayde to Iohanan the sonne of Careah. Thou shalt not do it, for they are but lyes, that thou sayest, of Ismael.

²² But I say vnto you: that whosoeuer is angrye with hys brother (vnaduysedly) shalbe in daunger of iudgement. And whosoeuer saye vnto hys brother Racha, shalbe in daunger of a councell. But whosoeuer sayeth thou foole, shalbe in daunger of hell fyre.

⁴ And when Iesus sawe their thoughtes, he sayde. Wherfore thyncke ye euyll in youre heartes?

⁵ And whan he had looked round aboute on them, wyth anger, mournynge on the blyndnes of their hertes, he sayeth to the man, stretch forth thine hande. And he stretched it out. And hys hande was restored, euen as whole as the other.

³⁹ When the pharise (which had bidden him) sawe, he spake within hym selfe, sayinge: If thys man were a prophete, he wolde surely knowe who, and what maner of woman thys is that touched hym, for she is a synner.

¹² So shall euery one of vs geue accomptes of hym selfe to God. ¹³ Let vs not therfore iudge one another eny more. But iudge thys rather, that no man put a stomblynge blocke, or an occasyon to fall in hys brothers waye. ¹⁴ For I knowe, and am full certifyed by the Lorde Iesus, that ther is nothynge comen of it selfe: but vnto hym that iudgeth it to be comen: to hym is it comen. ¹⁵ If thy brother be greued wyth thy meate, nowe walkest thou not charitablye. Destroye not hym wyth thy meate, for whom Chryst dyed.

¹ We whych are stronge ought to beare the fraylnes of them, whych are weake, and not to stonde in oure awne consaytes. ² Let euery man please hys neyghbour vnto hys welth and edifyinge.

³⁶ If eny man thynke that it is vncomly for his virgin, yf she passe the tyme of maryage, and yf so nede require, let him do what he lysteth, he synneth not: let them be coupled in mariage.

²⁴ Let no man seke that whych is hys awne: but let euery man seke that whych belongeth to another:

³³ euen as I please all men in all thynges, not sekynge myne awne profet, but the profet of many, that they myght be saued.

¹³ Iudge in youre selues, whether it be comly that a woman praye vnto God bare heeded. ¹⁴ Doth not nature it selfe teach you, that it is a shame for a man, ¹⁵ yf he haue longe heere: and a prayse to a woman: yf she haue longe heer. For hyr heer is geuen her to couer her withall. ¹⁶ If any man luste to stryue, we haue no soch custome, nether the congregacyons of God.

¹⁸ For fyrst of all when ye come together in the congregacion, I heare that there is dyssencyon amonge you: and I partely beleue it.

²¹ And one is hongry, and another is droncken. Haue ye not houses to eate and to drincke in? ²² Despyse ye the congregacion of God, and shame them that haue not? What shall I saye vnto you? shal I prayse you? In this prayse I you not.

²⁵ lest there shulde be eny stryfe in the body: but that the membres shuld indifferently care one for another. And yf one member suffer, all suffer with him.

³³ For God is not causer of stryfe: but of peace, as in all congregacions of the saynctes. ³⁴ Let youre wemen kepe sylence in the congregacions. For it is not permitted vnto them to speake: but to be vnder obedience, as sayth the lawe. ³⁵ If they wyll learne eny thynge, let them aske their husbandes at home. For it is a shame for wemen, to speake in the congregacion. ³⁶ Spronge the worde of God from you? Ether came it vnto you onely? ³⁷ If eny man thynke him selfe to be a prophet, ether spirituall: let him knowe, what thynges I wryte vnto you. For they are the commaundementes of the Lorde. ³⁸ But and yf eny man be ignoraunt, let him be ignoraunt. ³⁹ Wherfore brethren, couet to prophesye, and forbyd not to speake with tonges. ⁴⁰ let all thynges be done honestly and in order

¹⁹ For God was in Christ, and made agrement betwene the worlde and him selfe, & imputed not their synnes vnto them, and hath commytted to vs the preachynge of the attonement.

¹³ Brethren, ye were called into libertye: only let not youre libertye be an occasion vnto the flesshe: but by loue serue one another.

¹ Brethren, if a man also be taken in eny faute, ye which are spirituall, helpe to amende hym in the sprete of meaknes: consyderinge thy selfe, lest thou also be tempted. ² Beare ye one anothers burthen, and so fulfyll the lawe of Christ.

²¹ For all other seke theyr awne, and not the thynges which are Iesus Christes.

⁸ Furthermore, brethren, whatsoeuer thinges are true, whatsoeuer thynges are honeste, whatsoeuer thinges are iust, whatsoeuer thynges are pure, whatsoeuer thynges are conuenient, whatsoeuer thinges are of honeste reporte: Yf ther be eny vertue, yf ther be eny prayse,

⁷ For ye your selues know, howe ye ought to folowe vs. For we behaued not oure selues inordinatly amonge you.

¹⁰ Therfore I suffre all thynges, for the electes sakes, that they myght also obtayne the saluacion, which is in Christ Iesu, with eternall glory.

¹⁹ Wherfore (deare brethren) let euery man be swyfte to heare, slowe to speake, slowe to wrath.

¹⁶ Herby perceaue we loue: because he gaue his lyfe for vs: & we ought to geue oure liues for the brethren. ¹⁷ But whoso hath thys worldes good and seyth hys brother haue neade: and shutteth vp his compassion from him: how dwelleth the loue of God in hym?

⁹ And Iethro reioysed ouer all the goodnesse whyche the Lorde had done to Israell, and because he had delyuered them out of the hande of the Egyptians.

²² The God of goddes, the Lorde, God of goddes, euen the Lord he knoweth, & Israel also shall knowe. If it be to rebelle, or to transgresse agaynst the Lorde, then thou Lorde saue vs not thys daye. ²³ Or elles if we haue bylt vs an aulter to turne from folowing the Lorde, or to offer theron burnt offryng or meatoffringe, or to offer peace offringes theron: let the Lorde require it. ²⁴ And yf we haue not rather done it of a carefulnes & of a sure occasion, sayenge: In tyme to come your children might saye vnto oures: what haue ye to do with the Lorde God of Israel? ²⁵ the Lorde hath made Iordan a border betwene vs and you (ye children of Ruben and of Gad) ye haue no parte therfore in the Lorde: and so shall youre children make oure children ceasse from fearinge the Lorde. ²⁶ Therfore we sayd: We wil make vs an aulter, not for burntofferinge, nor for sacrifice, ²⁷ but for a witnesse betwene vs and you, and oure generacyons after vs, that we shulde serue the Lorde, with oure offeringes, sacrifices and peace offeringes before him: and that youre children shulde not saye to oures in time to come: ye haue no parte in the Lorde. ²⁸ Therfore sayde we, that if they shulde so saye to vs or to oure generacions in tyme to come, that we wolde saye agayne: Beholde the fassion of the aulter of the Lorde, which oure fathers made, nether for burntofferynges nor sacrifices, but for a witnesse betwene vs and you. ²⁹ God forbyd, that we shuld rebell agaynst the Lorde, and turne thys daye from after him, & buyld any other aulter for burntofferinges, oblacions, or sacrifices, saue the altare of the Lord oure God, that is before his tabernacle. ³⁰ And when Phinehes the Preaste, and the Lordes of the congregacion and heades ouer the thousandes of Israell which were with him, hearde these wordes that the children of Ruben, and the children of Gad and the children of Manasses spake, they were well content. ³¹ And Phinehes the sonne of Eleazar the preaste sayde vnto the children of Ruben, and to the children of Gad, & to the children of Manasses: this daye we perceaue, that the Lord is among vs, because ye haue not done this trespase agaynst the Lorde: Now ye haue rydde the children of Israell out of the hande of the Lorde. ³² And Phinehes the sonne of Eleazar the Preaste wt the Lordes, retourned from the children of Ruben, and from the children of Gad out of the lande of Gilead vnto the lande of Canaan, to the children of Israel, and brought them this worde agayne. ³³ And the sayeng pleased the children of Israel, and they blessed God, and dyd not entende to go agaynst them in batell, & to destroye the lande which the children of Ruben and Gad dwelt in.

¹⁹ Then came the Ziphites to Saul, to Gibea, saying: Doth not Dauid hyde him selfe fast by vs in strong holdes, in a thyckett that is by the hyll of Hachila, on the ryght syde of the wildernesse? ²⁰ Now therfore kyng, thou mayest come downe according to all the lust of thy soule: come downe, & oure parte shalbe to delyuer hym into the kynges hande. ²¹ And Saul sayde: Blessed are ye in the Lord: for ye haue compassion on me.

¹⁰ Whan one tolde me & sayd that Saul was deed, thinkyng to haue brought good tydynges, I caught hym, and slue hym in zikleg: whych thought that I wolde haue geuen hym a rewarde for hys tydynges brynging. ¹¹ How moch more whan wycked men haue slayne a ryghtuouse person, in his awne house and vpon his bed? Shall I not require his bloud of youre hande, and take you from the erth? ¹² And Dauid commaunded his young men, & they slue them, and cut of their handes and fete, & hanged them vp ouer the pole in Hebron. But they toke the heed of Isboseth, and buryed it in the sepulchre of Abner in Hebron.

³ For the vngodly hath made boast of hys awne hertes desyre, & speaketh good of the couetous, whom God abhorreth.

¹³⁶ Myne eyes gusshe out wyth water, because men kepe not thy lawe.

⁹ Foles make but a sporte of synne, but there is fauorable loue amonge the ryghteous.

¹ O who wyll geue my head water ynough, and a wel of teares for myne eyes: that I maye wepe night and daye: for the slaughter of my people?

¹⁷ But yf ye wyll not heare me, that geue you secrete warnyng, I wyll mourne from my whole hert for youre stubburnes. Pyteously wyll I wepe, & the teares shall gusshe out of myne eyes. For the Lordes flocke shall be caryed awaye captyue.

¹⁰ For why I herde so many derisions and blasphemies on euery syde of me: complayne vpon him, saye they, and we will tell his tale, yee euen of myne awne companions, and soch as were conuersant with me: went about to murther me, saying vpon him, we shall one waye or other begyle him and preuayle agaynst him, and be auenged of hym.

⁸ They eate vp the synnes of my people, and corage them in theyr wickednesse.

³ They make the kynge and the prynces, to haue pleasure in theyr wyckednes and lyes.

⁸ O thou enemye of myne, reioyce not at my fall, for I shall get vp agayne: & though I sytt in darcknesse, yet the Lorde is my lyght.

⁴¹ And when he was come neare, he behelde the cytie, and wept on it, ⁴² sayinge: If thou haddest knowen those thynges whych belonge vnto thy peace, euen in thys thy daye, thou woldst take hede. But now are they hydde from thyne eyes.

⁵ And they were glad & promysed to geue hym money.

³² Which men, though they knew the ryghtewesnes of God, how that they which commyt soche thynges, are worthy of deeth, not only do the same but also haue pleasure in them that do them.

⁹ Let loue be without dissimulacion Hate that which is euyll & cleaue vnto that which is good.

⁹ But I nowe reioyce, not that ye were sory, but that ye so sorowed that ye repented. For ye sorowed godly: so that in nothynge ye were hurte by vs. ¹⁰ For godly sorowe causeth repentaunce vnto saluacyon, not to be repented of, contrary wyse, worldely sorowe causeth deeth. ¹¹ For beholde, what diligence this godly sorowe that ye toke, hath wrought in you: yee it caused you to cleare yourselues. It caused indignacyon, it caused feare, it caused desire. it caused punisshment. For in all thynges ye haue shewed your selues, that ye were cleare in that matter. ¹² Wherfore, though I wrote vnto you, I dyd it not for his cause that had done the hurt, nether for his cause that was hurte: but that youre good mynde for vs might appeare amonge you in the syght of God. ¹³ Therfore, we are comforted, because ye are comforted; yee, and exceadingly the more ioyed we, for the ioye that Titus had: because hys sprete was refresshed of you all. ¹⁴ I am therfore not nowe ashamed, though I boasted my selfe to hym of you. For as all thynges which we spake vnto you are true, euen so, oure boastynge that I made vnto Titus is founde true. ¹⁵ And his inwarde affeccion is founde aboundant towarde you, whan he remembreth the obedience of you all howe wt feare & tremblinge ye receaued hym. ¹⁶ I reioyce that I maye be bolde ouer you in all thinges.

⁴ all wayes in all my prayers for you, and praye with gladnes:

¹⁸ What then? So that Chryst be preached anye maner of waye, whether it be by occasyon, or of true meaninge, I am glad therof, ye and wyll be glad.

¹⁷ Yee and though I be offered vp vpon the offeringe & sacrifyce of youre fayth: I reioyce and reioyce with you all. ¹⁸ For the same cause also do ye reioyce, and reioyce with me.

¹⁸ For many walke (of whom I haue tolde you often and nowe tell you wepynge) that they are the enemies of the crosse of Christ,

⁶ But now lately, when Timothe came from you vnto vs, & declared to vs your faith & your loue, & how that ye haue good remembraunce of vs allwayes, desyrynge to se vs as we also desyre to se you. ⁷ Therfore brethren we receaued consolacyon by you, in all our aduersite & necessite, through your fayth. ⁸ For now are we alyue, yf ye stande stedfast in the Lorde. ⁹ For what thankes can we recompence to God agayne for you, ouer al the ioye, that we ioye for your sakes before our God: ¹⁰ praying nyght and daye exceadyngly, that we might se you presently, and myght fulfyll the thynges which are lackynge vnto youre fayth.

¹² that all they myght be damned, whych beleued not the trueth: but had pleasure in vnryghtewesnes.

⁴ I reioysed greatly, that I founde of thy children walkinge in trueth, as we haue receaued a commaundement of the father.

³ For I reioysed greatly, when the brethren came, and testifyed of the trueth that is in the, how thou walkest in the trueth. ⁴ I haue no greater ioye, then for to heare, how that my sonnes walke in veritye.

²⁰ And Iacob serued .vij. yeares for Rahel and they semed vnto him but a fewe dayes, for the loue he had to her.

¹² haue I conceaued all thys people? Or haue I begotten them:? hat thou shuldest saye vnto me? carie them in they bosome (as a nurse beareth the suckynge chylde) vnto the lande, which thou swarest vnto their fathers? ¹³ where shulde I haue fleshe, to geue vnto all thys people, which wepe before me, saying: geue vs flesh that we maye eate? ¹⁴ I am not able to beare all thys people alone, seying it is to heuy for me.

⁹ And I spake vnto you the same ceason sayinge: I am not able to beare you my selfe alone.

¹⁵ Lo, though he slaye me, yet wyll I put my trust in hym. But I wil reproue myne awne wayes in his sight,

⁶⁶ O learne me true vnderstandynge, and knowledge, for I haue beleued thy commaundementes.

⁶ O set me as a seale vpon thine herte, and as a seale vpon thyne arme: for loue is myghtie as the death, & gelousy as the hel. Her coales are of fyre, & a very flamme of the Lorde: ⁷ so that many waters are not able to quenche loue, nether maye the streames droune it. Yee, yf a man wolde geue all the good of his house for loue, he shuld counte it nothyng,

²² & ye shalbe hated of all men for my name sake. But he that endureth to the ende, shalbe saued.

³⁷ And behold a woman in that cytie (which was a synner) as sone as she knewe that Iesus sat at meat in the pharises house, she brought an alablaster boxe of oyntment, ³⁸ & stode at his fete behinde him wepyng, & beganne to wasshe hys fete wt teares, and dyd wype them with the heares of her head, & kyssed his fete, & anoynted them with the oyntment. ³⁹ When the pharise (which had bidden him) sawe, he spake within hym selfe, sayinge: If thys man were a prophete, he wolde surely knowe who, and what maner of woman thys is that touched hym, for she is a synner.

⁴⁴ And he turned to the woman, & sayd vnto Simon: Seest thou this woman. I entred into thy house, thou gauest me no water for my fete: but she hath wesshed my fete with teares, and wyped them with the heares of her head. ⁴⁵ Thou gauest me no kysse: but she, sence the tyme I came in, hath not ceased to kysse my fete. ⁴⁶ Myne head wt oyle thou didest not anoynte: but she hath anoynted my fete with oyntment.

⁴ And he ran before, and clymed vp into a wylde fygge tree, to se him: for he was to come that waye. ⁵ And when Iesus cam to the place, he looked vp, and sawe hym, and sayd vnto him: Zache, come downe atonce, for to daye I must abyde at thy house. ⁶ And he came downe hastelye, and receaued hym ioyfully. ⁷ And when they sawe it, they all grudged, sayinge: He is gone in to tary with a man that is a synner. ⁸ And Zache stode forth, and sayd vnto the Lorde: beholde Lorde, the halfe of my goodes I geue to the poore: and yf I haue done eny man wronge, I restore him foure folde. ⁹ Iesus sayde vnto him: this daye is health happened vnto thys house, because that he also is become the chylde of Abraham: ¹⁰ For the sonne of man is come to seke, and to saue that whych was loste.

²⁴ For we are sauyd by hope. But hope that is sene, is no hope. For how can a man hope for that, which he seyth?

¹ We whych are stronge ought to beare the fraylnes of them, whych are weake, and not to stonde in oure awne consaytes.

¹² If other be partakers of thys power ouer you, wherfore are not we rather? Neuerthelesse we haue not vsed this power: but suffre all thinges, lest we shulde hinder the Gospell of Chryst.

¹⁸ What is my reward then? Uerely that when I preach the Gospell, I make the Gospell of Christ fre, that I misuse not myne auctorite in the Gospell. ¹⁹ For though I be fre from all men, yet haue I made my selfe seruaunt vnto all men, that I myght wynne the moo. ²⁰ Unto the Iewes, I became as a Iewe, to wynne the Iewes. To them that were vnder the lawe, was I made as though I had bene vnder the lawe, to wynne them that were vnder the lawe. ²¹ To them that were wythout lawe, became I as though I had bene wythout lawe (when I was not without lawe as perteyning to God, but vnder the lawe of Chryst) to wynne them that were wythout lawe. ²² To the weake became I as weake, to wynne the weake: In all thinges I fasshyoned my selfe to all men, to saue at the least waye some.

⁴ Loue suffreth longe, and is curteous. Loue enuyeth not. Loue doth not frowardly, swelleth not, dealeth not dishonestly

⁸ I robbed other congregacyons, & toke wages of them, to do you seruyce. ⁹ And when I was present wt you, & had nede I was chargeable to no man: for that which was lackynge vnto me, the brethren which came from Macedonia, supplied, and in all thinges I kept my selfe so that I shuld not be chargeable to any man, and so wyll I kepe my selfe. ¹⁰ If the trueth of Christ be in me, thys reioysyng shall not be taken from me in the regions of Achaia. ¹¹ Wherfore? Because I loue you not? God knoweth. ¹² Neuertheles, what I do, that wyll I do, to cut awaye occasyon from them which desyre occasion: that they might be founde lyke vnto vs, in that wherin they reioyce.

² Beare ye one anothers burthen, and so fulfyll the lawe of Christ.

⁴ so that we oure selues boast of you in the congregacyons of God, ouer your pacyence & fayth in all your persecucyons & tribulacyons, that ye suffre,

³ Thou therfore suffre afflyccyons as a good soudier of Iesu Chryst. ⁴ No man that warreth, entanglyth hym selfe wyth worldly busynes, and that because he maye please hym, whych hath chosen hym to be a soudier. ⁵ And though a man stryue for a mastery, yet is he not crowned, except he stryue laufully ⁶ The husbandman that laboureth, must fyrst receaue of the frutes. ⁷ Consyder what I saye. The Lorde geue the vnderstandynge in all thynges. ⁸ Remember that Iesus Christ of the sede of Dauid, rose agayne from deeth according to my Gospell, ⁹ wherin I suffre trouble as an euyll doar, euen vnto bondes. But the worde of God was not bounde. ¹⁰ Therfore I suffre all thynges, for the electes sakes, that they myght also obtayne the saluacion, which is in Christ Iesu, with eternall glory.

²⁴ The seruaunt of the Lorde must not stryue: but be gentle vnto all men apte to teach, and one that can suffre

¹¹ persecucyons, and affliccyons whych happened vnto me at Antioche, at Iconium, and at Lystra: which persecutions I suffered paciently. And from them all, the Lorde delyuered me.

⁵ But watche thou in all thynges, suffre affliccyons, do the worke thorowlye of an Euangelist, fulfyll thyne offyce vnto the vtmost.

¹³ Let vs goo forth therfore vnto hym, out of the tentes, and suffer rebuke with hym.

¹² Happy is the man that endureth temptacyon: for when he is tryed, he shall receaue the crowne of lyfe, which the Lorde hath promysed to them that loue hym.

²⁴ whych hys awne selfe bare our synnes in his body on the tree, that we beyng delyuered from synne, shuld lyue vnto ryghteousnes. By whose strypes ye were healed.

⁷ Upon the Edomites hath the Lorde of hoostes spoken on thys maner: Is there nomore wysdome in Theman? Is there nomore good councell amonge his people? Is theyr wysdome then turned clene to naught?

³² but I haue prayed for the, that thy fayth fayle not. And when thou arte conuerted, strength thy brethren.

⁴ and they were all fylled with the holy goost, and beganne to speake with other tonges, euen as the same sprete gaue them vtteraunce.

⁶ And whan Paul layde hys handes vpon them. the holy ghost came on them, and they spake with tonges, and prophesyed,

¹⁰ To another power to do miracles. To another prophesye. To another iudgement to discerne spretes. To another diuers tonges. To another the interpretacyon of tonges:

²⁸ And God hath also ordeyned in the congregacyon, fyrst Apostles, secondarely prophetes, thrydly teachers, then them that do myracles: after that, the gyftes of healyng, helpers, gouerners, diuersitye of tonges.

¹ Though I spake with the tonges of men and of angels, and haue no loue. I am euen as sounding brasse, or as a tynklinge cymball. ² And though I coulde prophesy, and vnderstode all secretes, and all knowledge: yee yf I haue all fayth, so that I can moue mountayns oute of their places, and yet haue no loue, I am nothynge.

¹⁰ But when that whych is perfect, is come, then that whych is vnperfect, shall be done awaye.

¹³ Nowe abydeth fayth, hope, and loue, euen these thre: but the chefe of these is loue.

¹³ In that he sayth a new testament, he hath worne out the olde, For that which is worne out & wexed olde, is redy to vanyshe awaye.

⁷ Art thou able to fynde out the secretes of God? Or wylt thou attayne to the perfectnesse of the almyghtye? ⁸ He is hyer then heauen, what arte thou able to do? Deper then the hell, how wilt thou then know him?

¹⁴ Lo, this is nowe a shorte summe of his wayes. But who is able sufficiently to rehearse hys workes? Who can perceaue and vnderstande the thondre of hys power?

⁵ O Lord my God, greate are thy wonderous worckes, which thou hast done: like as be also thy thoughtes which are to vs ward: and yet there is no man that ordreth them vnto the.

⁶ Soch knowledge is to wonderfull & excellent for me: I can not attayne vnto it.

⁴ Who hath clymed vp into heauen? Who hath come doune from thence? Who hath holden the wynd fast in his hand? Who hath comprehended the waters in a garment? Who hath sett all the endes of the worlde? What is hys name, or his sonnes name? Canst thou tell

²⁷ All thinges are geuen ouer vnto me of my father. And noman knoweth the sonne but the father: nether knoweth eny man the father, saue the sonne, and he to whomsoeuer the sonne will open him.

³⁴ For who hath knowen the mynde of the Lorde? Or who hath bene hys counseller?

⁹ But as it is written. The eye hath not sene, and the eare hath not heard, nether haue entred into the hert of man, the thynges which God hath prepared for them that loue hym.

² If eny man thynke that he knoweth eny thing, he knoweth nothyng yet as he ought to knowe.

¹² Nowe we se in a glasse, euen in a darcke speakyng: but then shall we se face to face. Nowe I knowe vnperfectly: but then shall I knowe euen as I am knowen.

⁸ Unto me the least of all saynctes is this grace geuen, that I shulde preache amonge the Gentyls the vnsearcheable riches of Christ

¹⁸ myght be able to comprehende with all saynctes, what is the bredth and length, deepth and heygth: ¹⁹ & to knowe the excellent loue of the knowledge of Christ that ye myght be fulfylled with all fulnes, which commeth of God.

² that theyr hertes myght be comforted whan they are knet together in loue, and in all ryches of full vnderstandynge, for to knowe the mistery of God the father, and of Chryst, ³ in whom are hyd all the treasures of wysdome and knowledge.

¹⁰ Of whych saluacyon haue the Prophetes enquyred and searched, whych prophesyed of the grace that shuld come vnto you, ¹¹ searchyng when or at what tyme the sprete of Chryst (whych was in them) shuld sygnifye, whych sprete testifyed before, the passyons that shuld happen vnto Chryst, & the glory that shulde folowe after, ¹² vnto whych Prophetes it was also declared, that not vnto them selues, but vnto vs, they shulde minyster the thynges whych are now shewed vnto you of them, whych (by the holy goost sent downe from heauen) haue in the Gospell preached vnto you the thynges, whych the angels desyre to beholde.

² Dearely beloued, now are we the sonnes of God & yet it doth not appeare, what we shalbe. But we knowe, that when it shall appeare, we shalbe lyke him. For we shall se hym as he is.

²³ The mone shall be abashed, and the sunne ashamed, when the Lorde of hostes shall raygne in mount Sion and in Ierusalem with worshyp, and in the syght of such as shalbe of hys councell.

¹⁹ The Sunne shall neuer be thy daye lyght, and the lyght of the Moone shall neuer shyne vnto the: but the Lorde him selfe shalbe thyne euerlastyng lyght, and thy God shalbe thy glory. ²⁰ Thy Sunne shall neuer go downe, and thy Moone shall not be hydde, for the Lorde hym selfe shalbe thy euerlastynge lyght, and thy sorowfull dayes shalbe ended.

⁷ For we walke in fayth, not after outward appearaunce. ⁸ Neuerthelesse, we are of good comforte, and had leuer to be absent from the body, and to be present with God.

²² And I sawe no temple therin. For the Lorde God almighty and the lambe are the temple of it. ²³ And the cytie hath no nede of the sonne, nether of the mone to lighten it. For the brightnes of God dyd lyght it, and the lambe was the lyght of it.

⁴ And they shall se hys face, and his name shalbe in their forheddes ⁵ And there shall be no nyght there, & they nede no candle, nether light of the sunne: for the Lorde God geueth them lyght, and they shall raygne for euermore.

¹⁰ (

¹ And I coulde not speake (vnto you brethren) as vnto spretuall: but as vnto carnall, euen as vnto babes in Christ. ² I gaue you mylke to drynke, and not meate. For ye then were not stronge, nether are ye as yet. For ye are yet carnall.

²⁰ Brethren, be not ye chyldren in wytte. Howbeit, as concernyng maliciousnes, be children: but in witte be perfect.

¹ And I saye, that the heyre (as longe as he is a chylde) differth not from a seruaunt, though he be Lord of all,

³⁰ And Iacob called the name of the place Pheniel, for I haue sene God face to face, & my lyfe is preserued.

¹¹ And the Lord spake vnto Moses face to face, as a man speaketh vnto his frende: and he turned agayne into the hoost. And the chylde Iosua hys seruaunte the sonne of Num, departed not oute of the tabernacle:

⁸ Unto him wil I speake mouth to mouth in a visyon: but in rydels and symylitudes doth not he se the Lord. Wherfore then were ye not afrayed to speake agaynst my seruaunt Moses?

¹² And Samson sayd vnto them: I wil now put forth a ryddle vnto you. And yf you can declare it me within .vij. dayes of the feast, & fynde it out. I will geue you .xxx. shertes, and .xxx. chaunge of garmentes: ¹³ But & yf you cannot declare it me, then shall ye geue me .xxx. shertes and .xxx. chaunge of garmentes. And they answered hym: put forth thy rydle, that we maye heare it. ¹⁴ And he sayd vnto them: Out of the eater came meate: and out of the stronge came swetnes. And they coulde not in .iij. dayes expounde the ryddle. ¹⁵ And when the seuenth daye was come, they sayde vnto Samsons wyfe: flater thyne husband, that he maye declare vs the ryddle, lest we burne the & thy fathers house with fyer. Haue ye called vs hyther, to make vs beggers? ¹⁶ And Samsons wyfe wepte before hym and sayde: Surely thou hatest me and louest me not: for thou hast put forth a ryddle vnto the chyldren of my folcke, and hast not tolde it me. And he sayde vnto her: Beholde, I haue not tolde it my father and my mother, and shall I tell it the? ¹⁷ And Samsons wyfe wepte before hym .vij. dayes, whyle the feast lasted. And the .vii. daye he tolde her, because she laye so sore vpon him. And she tolde it the children of her folke. ¹⁸ And the men of the cytie sayd vnto hym the seuenth daye, before the sonne went downe. What is sweter then honye, & what is stronger then a lyon? Then sayde he vnto them: If ye had not plowed with my caulfe, ye had not founde out my rydle. ¹⁹ And the sprete of the Lorde came vpon hym. And he went downe to Askalon, and slewe thyrty men of them, and spoyled them, and gaue chaunge of garmentes vnto them whych expounded the ryddle. And he was wroth, and went vp to hys fathers house.

² Thou sonne of man: put forth a darcke speakynge and a parable, vnto the house of Israel,

⁸ Blessed are the pure in herte: for they shall se God.

¹⁰ Take hede: that ye despyse not one of these lytelones. For I saye vnto you, that in heauen their angels do alwayes beholde the face of my father, whych is in heauen.

¹⁵ As my father knoweth me, euen so knowe I also my father. And I geue my lyfe for the shepe:

¹⁸ For I suppose that the afflyccyons of thys lyfe, are not worthy of the glory, which shalbe shewed vpon vs.

³ But yf eny man loue God, the same is knowen of him.

⁹ For oure knowledge is vnperfect, and oure prophesyinge is vnperfect. ¹⁰ But when that whych is perfect, is come, then that whych is vnperfect, shall be done awaye.

¹⁸ But we all beholde in a myrroure the glorye of the Lorde with his face open, and are chaunged vnto the same similitude, from glory to glory, euen as of the sprete of the Lorde.

⁷ For we walke in fayth, not after outward appearaunce.

¹² Not that I haue attayned vnto it all ready, or that I am all ready perfecte: but I folowe, yf that I maye comprehende that, wherin I am comprehended of Chryst Iesu.

²³ For yf eny man heare the worde and declareth not the same by his workes, he is lyke vnto a man beholding his bodely face in a glasse.

⁴ And they shall se hys face, and his name shalbe in their forheddes

¹¹ Why art thou so vexed (O my soule) and why art thou so disquieted wythin me? O put thy trust in God, for I wyll yet thanke hym whych is the helpe of my countenaunce, and my God.

⁵ Why art thou so heuy (O my soule) & why art thou so disquyeted wythin me? O put thy trust in God, for I will yet geue hym thankes whych is the helpe of my countenaunce, and my God.

⁵ Which made heauen and earth, the see, and all that therin is, whych kepeth hys promyse for euer.

²¹ Whyle I consydre these thynges in my herte, I get a hope agayne. ²² Namely, it is of the Lordes mercyes that we are not, vtterly consumed. For trulye hys pytefull compassion hath not ceassed. ²³ Newe mercyes shall the Lorde shewe vpon the, erly, yee in the daye sprynge, (O Lorde) greate is thy faythfulnesse. ²⁴ The Lorde is my porcyon, sayeth my soule, therfore wyll I hope in him. ²⁵ O how good is the Lorde vnto them, that put theyr trust in hym, and to the soule that seketh after hym? ²⁶ The good man with stylnes and pacience tarieth, for the health of the Lorde.

²⁹ Iesus answered him, the fyrste of all the commaundementes is: Heare O Israell: The Lorde oure God, is Lord onely: ³⁰ And thou shalt loue the Lorde thy God with all thy hert, & wyth all thy soule, and wyth all thy mynde, and with all thy strength. This is the fyrste commaundment. ³¹ And the seconde is lyke vnto thys: Thou shalt loue thy neyghbour as thy selfe. Ther is none other commaundment greater then these.

¹³ They on the stones, are they which when they heare, receaue the word with ioye, and these haue no rotes: which for a whyle beleue, and in tyme of temptacyon go awaye. ¹⁴ And that which fell amonge thornes, are they which whan they haue heard, go forth, and are choked with cares and ryches, and volupteous lyuinge, and brynge forth no frute. ¹⁵ That which fell in the good grounde, are they, which with a pure and good herte heare the worde, and kepe it, and brynge forth frute thorow pacyence.

²⁷ And he answered and sayde: loue the Lorde thy God, with all thy hert, & with all thy soule, & with all thy strength, & with all thy mynde: and thy neyghbour as thy selfe.

⁴ pacience bryngeth experience, experience bryngeth hope. ⁵ And hope maketh not ashamed: because the loue of God is sheed abroad in oure hertes, by the holy ghost whych is geuen vnto vs.

²⁴ For we are sauyd by hope. But hope that is sene, is no hope. For how can a man hope for that, which he seyth? ²⁵ But and yf we hope for that we se not, then do we wt pacience abyde for it.

¹³ The God of hope fyll you wyth all ioye and peace in beleuyng: that ye maye be ryche in hope, thorow the power of the holy ghost.

¹⁴ If eny mannes worcke that he hath bylt vpon, byde, he shall receaue a rewarde.

¹ Though I spake with the tonges of men and of angels, and haue no loue. I am euen as sounding brasse, or as a tynklinge cymball. ² And though I coulde prophesy, and vnderstode all secretes, and all knowledge: yee yf I haue all fayth, so that I can moue mountayns oute of their places, and yet haue no loue, I am nothynge. ³ And though I bestowe all my goodes to fede the poore, and though I geue my body euen that I burned, and yet haue no loue, it profyteth me nothynge. ⁴ Loue suffreth longe, and is curteous. Loue enuyeth not. Loue doth not frowardly, swelleth not, dealeth not dishonestly ⁵ seketh not her awne, is not prouoked to anger, thynketh no euyll, ⁶ reioyseth not in iniquyte: but reioyseth in the trueth, ⁷ suffreth all thynges, beleueth all thynges, hopeth all thynges, endureth all thynges. ⁸ Though that prophesyinges fayle, other tonges cease, or knowledge vanysshe awaye, yet loue falleth neuer awaye.

¹ Labour for loue, and couet spretuall gyftes: but most chefly that ye maye prophesye.

¹⁴ Let all youre busynes be done with loue.

¹⁰ For we must all appeare before the iudgement seate of Christ, that euery man maye receaue the workes of hys body accordynge to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.

¹⁵ and he dyed for all: that they whych lyue, shuld not hence forth lyue vnto them selues, but vnto him whych dyed for them, & rose agayne.

¹³ Brethren, ye were called into libertye: only let not youre libertye be an occasion vnto the flesshe: but by loue serue one another. ¹⁴ For all the lawe is fulfylled in one worde, which is this: thou shalt loue thyne neyghboure as thy selfe. ¹⁵ If ye byte and deuoure one another: take hede, lest ye be lykewyse consumed one of another. ¹⁶ I saye: walke in the sprete, and fulfyll not the lust of the flesshe. ¹⁷ For the flesshe lusteth contrary to the sprete, and the sprete contrary to the flesshe. These are contrarye one to the other, so that ye cannot do whatsoeuer ye wolde. ¹⁸ But and yf ye be led of the sprete, then are ye not vnder the lawe. ¹⁹ The dedes of the flesshe are manyfeste, which are these: aduoutery, fornicacion, vnclennes, wantannes, ²⁰ worshypping of ymages, witchcraft, hatred, variaunce, zele, wrathe, stryfe, sedicyons, sectes,

⁹ And thys I praye, that youre loue maye increase yet more and more in knowledge, and in all vnderstandynge,

⁵ for the hopes sake which is layd vp in store for you in heauen, of which hope, ye herde before by the true worde of the Gospell,

²⁷ to whom God wolde make knowen what the gloryous ryches of thys mystery is amonge the Gentyls, which ryches is Chryst in you, the hope of glory,

¹⁴ Aboue all these thinges put on loue which is the bonde of perfectnes.

⁸ But let vs whych are of the daye, be sober armed wyth the brest plate of fayth and loue, and with hope of saluacyon for an helmet.

⁷ For God hath not geuen to vs the sprete of feare: but of power, and of loue, and of sobrenes.

¹¹ Yee, and we desyre, that euery one of you shewe the same diligence, to the full stablishinge of hope, euen vnto the ende,

¹⁹ whych hope we holde as an ancre of the soule both sure and stedfast, whych hope also entreth in, into those thinges which are with in the vayle,

³⁵ Cast not awaye therfore your confydence, whych hath a great recompence of rewarde.

³⁹ It is not we that withdrawe our selues vnto dampnacion, but we partayne vnto fayth, to the wynnynge of the soule.

²¹ whych by his meanes do beleue on God, that raysed hym vp from deeth, & gloryfyed hym, that ye might haue fayth and hope toward God:

¹⁰ He that loueth his brother, abydeth in the lyght, and ther is none occasion of euyll in hym.

¹⁴ I haue wryten vnto you fathers, how that ye haue knowne hym that is from the beginnynge. I haue wryten vnto you yonge men, how that ye are stronge, and the worde of God abydeth in you, and ye haue ouercome that wycked.

²⁴ Let therfore abyde in you that same which ye hearde from the beginninge. If that which ye hearde from the beginnynge shal remayne in you, ye also shall contynew in the sonne, and in the father.

³ And euery man that hath this hope in him, pourgeth him selfe, euen as he also is pure.

⁹ Whosoeuer is borne of God, synneth not: for his seed remayneth in him, and he cannot synne, because he is borne of God.

⁷ Dearly beloued let vs loue one another: for loue commeth of God. And euery one that loueth, is borne of God, and knoweth God. ⁸ He that loueth not, knoweth not God: for God is loue. ⁹ In this appeared the loue of God to vs ward, because that God sent hys onely begotten sonne into the worlde, that we might liue thorow him. ¹⁰ Herin is loue, not that we loued God, but that he loued vs, & sent hys sonne to be the agrement for oure synnes. ¹¹ Dearly beloued, yf God so loued vs, we ought also to loue one another. ¹² No man hath sene God at eny tyme. If we loue one another, God dwelleth in vs, & hys loue is parfect in vs. ¹³ Herby knowe we that we dwell in hym, and he in vs: because he hath geuen vs of hys sprete. ¹⁴ And we haue sene, & do testifye, that the father sent the sonne to be the sauyour of the worlde. ¹⁵ Whosoeuer confesseth, that Iesus is the sonne God, in him dwelleth God, & he in God. ¹⁶ And we haue knowen and beleued the loue that God hath to vs. God is loue, & he that dwelleth in loue, dwelleth in God, and God in him. ¹⁷ Here in is the loue perfect in vs, that we shuld haue trust in the daye of iudgement: For as he is, euen so are we in this worlde. ¹⁸ Ther is no feare in loue, but parfect loue casteth out feare, for feare hath paynfulnes. He that feareth, is not parfect in lone.

¹ Whosoeuer beleueth that Iesus is Christ, is borne of God. And euery one that loueth hym which begat, loueth him also which was begotten of him. ² By this we knowe, that we loue the chyldren of God, when we loue God, and kepe his commaundementes. ³ For this is the loue of God, that We kepe his commaundementes, and his commaundementes are not greuous. ⁴ For all that is borne of God, ouercommeth the worlde. And this is the victory that ouer commeth the worlde, euen oure fayth. ⁵ Who is it that ouercommeth the worlde: but he which beleueth, that Iesus is the sonne of God?

⁴ I reioysed greatly, that I founde of thy children walkinge in trueth, as we haue receaued a commaundement of the father. ⁵ And now beseche I the lady, not as though I wrote a new commaundement vnto the, but that same which we haue had from the beginnynge, that we shuld loue one another. ⁶ And this is the loue, that we shulde walke after hys commaundement. This commaundement is (that as ye haue hearde from the beginnynge) ye shuld walke in it.
