²⁶ Wherfore, I take you to recorde this daye that I am pure from the bloude of all men. ²⁷ For I haue spared no laboure, but haue shewed you all the counsell of God. ²⁸ Take hede therfore vnto youre selues & to all the flocke amonge whom the holy ghost hath made you ouersears, to rule the congregacyon of God which he hath purchased with his bloude.

³³ I haue desyred no mans syluer, golde, or vesture. ³⁴ Yee, ye your selues knowe that these handes haue ministred vnto my necessyties, & to them that were with me.

⁸ Lyke wyse must the mynisters be honest, not double tonged, not geuen vnto moch wyne, nether gredy of fylthy lucre:

⁹ For the Lordes parte is hys folke, and Iacob is the porcyon of hys enheritaunce.

² O thynke vpon thy congregacyon, whom thou hast purchased and redemed of olde:

⁴ The weake haue ye not holden vp the sicke haue ye not healed: the broken haue ye not bounde together, the out castes haue ye not brought agayne: the lost haue ye not sought, but churlishly & cruelly haue ye ruled them.

²⁵ But Iesus called them vnto him, & sayde: ye knowe that the princes of the nacions haue dominion ouer them. And they that are great men, exercyse auctorite vpon them. ²⁶ It shall not be so amonge you. But whosoeuer wyll be greate amonge you, let him be youre minister:

⁸ But be not ye called Rabbi. For one is youre master, euen Chryst, and all ye are brethren. ⁹ And call no man youre father vpon the erth, for one is your father which is in heauen ¹⁰ Nether be ye called masters, for one is youre master, euen Chryst.

⁴² But Iesus whan he had called them to hym, sayd vnto them: ye knowe, that they whych are sene to beare rule amonge the people, raygne as Lordes ouer them. ⁴³ And they that be greate amonge them, exercyse auctoryte vpon them. Neuertheles, so shall it not be amonge you: but whosoeuer of you wylbe greate amonge you, shalbe youre mynister. ⁴⁴ And whosoeuer wylbe chefe, shalbe seruaunt of all. ⁴⁵ For the sonne of man also came not to be mynystred vnto: but to mynister, and to geue hys lyfe for the redempcyon of many.

²⁴ And ther was a stryfe amonge them, whych of them shuld seme to be the greatest. ²⁵ And he sayde vnto them: the kynges of nacyons raygne ouer them: and they that haue auctoryte vpon them, are called gracious lordes. ²⁶ But ye shall not be so. But he that is greatest amonge you, shalbe as the younger: and he that is chefe, shalbe as he that doth mynister. ²⁷ For whether is greater, he that sytteth at meate, or he that serueth? Is not he that sytteth at meate? But I am amonge you, as he that mynistreth.

⁵ What is Paul? What thynge is Apollo? Onely ministers are they by whom ye beleued, euen as the Lorde gaue euery man grace.

⁹ For we are Goddes labourers, ye are Goddes husbandrye, ye are Goddes buyldyng:

¹¹ Neuerthelesse, nether is the man with out the woman. nether the woman without the man in the Lorde.

²⁴ Not that we be Lordes ouer your fayth: but are helpers of youre ioye. For by fayth ye stande.

⁵ For we preache not our selues, but Christ Iesus to be the Lorde, and oure selues youre seruauntes, for Iesus sake.

¹⁷ Brethren, be folowers together of me, and loke on them which walke euen so, as ye haue vs for an ensample.

⁹ those same haue ye in youre mynde, which ye haue bothe learned & receaued, hearde also and sene in me those thinges do, and the God of peace shalbe with you.

⁵ For oure Gospel came not vnto you by worde onely, but also by power, and by the holy goost, and by moch certayntye, as ye knowe, after what maner we be haued oure selues amonge you, for your sake. ⁶ And ye became folowers of vs and of the Lorde, receauynge the worde with moch affliccyon, with ioye of the holy goost:

⁹ not but that we had auctorite: but to make oure selues an ensample vnto you to folowe vs.

¹² Let no man despyse thy youth but be vnto them that beleue, an ensample, in worde, in conuersacyon, in loue, in sprete, in fayth, in purenes.

⁷ In all thinges shewe thy selfe an ensample of good worckes in the doctryne, with honestie, grauytie, & with the wholsome

⁹ But ye are a chosen generacion, a royall presthod, an holy nacyon, a people whych are wonne: that ye shuld shewe the vertues of hym, that called you out of darcknes into hys meruclous lyght,

⁹ I wrote vnto the congregacion: but Diotrephes which loueth to haue the preeminence amonge them, receaueth vs not. ¹⁰ Wherfore yf I come, I will declare hys dedes which he doeth, iestinge on vs wt malicious wordes, nether is therewith content. Not onely he him selfe receaueth not the brethren: but also he forbyddeth them that wolde, and thrusteth them out of the congregacion.

¹ A psalme of Dauid. The Lord is my shepherde, therfore can I lack nothing.

²⁴ Dauid my seruaunt shalbe their kyng, & they al shal haue one shepherde onely. They shall walcke in my lawes, & my commaundementes shall they both kepe and fulfyll.

³ The wyse (soch as haue taught other) shall glyster, as the shynynge of heauen: and those that haue instructe the multitude vnto godlynesse, shalbe as the starres, worlde without ende.

⁷ Aryse, O thou swearde, vpon my shepherde, and vpon the Prince of my people, saieth the Lorde of hostes. Smyte the shepherd, and the shepe shalbe scatred abrode, and so wyll I turne myne hande to the lytle ones.

³¹ When the sonne of man commeth in his glorye, & all the holy angels wyth him, then shall he syt vpon the seate of hys glorie, ³² and before him shalbe gathered all nacions. And he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherde deuydeth the shepe from the goates: ³³ and he shall set the shepe on hys ryght hande, but the goates on the lyfte. ³⁴ Then shall the Kynge saye to them that shalbe on hys ryghte hande: Come ye blessed of my father, inheret the kyngdome prepared for you from the begynninge of the worlde. ³⁵ For I was an hongred, & ye gaue me meate. I was thyrstye, & ye gaue me drincke. I was herbourlesse, & ye toke me in: ³⁶ Naked, & ye clothed me: Sicke & ye visyted me. I was in preson, and ye came vnto me. ³⁷ Then shall the righteous answere him saying: Lord, when sawe we the an hongred, and fedd the? or thirstye, & gaue the drinke? ³⁸ when sawe we the herborlesse, & tooke the in? or naked, and clothed the? ³⁹ or when sawe we the sycke, or in preson, and came vnto the? ⁴⁰ And the kyng shall answere, and saye vnto them: veryly I saye vnto you: in as moch as ye haue done it vnto one of the leest of these my brethren, ye haue done it to me. ⁴¹ Then shall he saye also vnto them, that shalbe on the lyfte hand: departe from me ye cursed into euerlastynge fyre: whych is prepared for the deuyll and his angels. ⁴² For I was an hungred, and ye gaue me no meate. I was thirstye, and ye gaue me no drynke. ⁴³ I was harborlesse, and ye toke me not in. I was naked, and ye clothed me not. I was sycke & in preson, and ye visyted me not. ⁴⁴ Then shall they also answere him saying, lorde, when sawe we the an hungred, or a thyrst, or herbourlesse, or naked, or sycke, or in preson, & dyd not minister vnto the? ⁴⁵ Then shall he answere them sayeng: Uerely I saye vnto you, in as moche as ye dyd it not to one of the leest of these, ye dyd it not to me. ⁴⁶ And these shall go into euerlastynge payne: the ryghteous into lyfe eternall.

¹¹ I am the good shepeherd. A good shepherde geueth hys lyfe for the shepe.

²⁵ Euery man that proueth masteries, abstayneth from all thynges. And they do it to obtayne a crowne that shall perysshe: but we to obtayne an euerlasting crowne.

⁷ and to you whych are troubled, rest wyth vs, when the Lorde Iesus shall shewe hym selfe from heauen with the Angels of hys power, ⁸ wyth flaminge fyre, whych shall rendre vengeaunce vnto them that knowe not God, and that obeye not the Gospell of oure Lorde Iesus Christ ⁹ which shalbe punysshed wyth euerlastynge damnacyon, from the presence of the Lorde, and from the glory of his power, ¹⁰ when he shall come to be glorifyed in his saynctes, and to be come maruelous in all them that beleue: because oure testimonie that we had to you, was beleued euen the same daye.

²⁰ The God of peace that brought agayne from deeth our Lorde Iesus the gret shepperde of the shepe, thorow the bloud of the euerlastyng testament,

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.

⁴ to an inherytaunce immortall and vndefyled, and that perissheth not, reserued in heauen for you,

²⁵ For ye were as shepe goyng astraye: but are now turned vnto the shepeherd and bysshope of youre soules.

² Fede ye Christes flocke, asmoch as lyeth in you, takynge the ouersyght of them, not as compelled therto, but wyllyngly: not for the desyre of fylthy lucre: but of a good mynde,

⁷ Beholde, he cometh with cloudes, & all eyes shall se him, & they also which pearsed him. And all kynredes of the erth shall wayle. Euen so: Amen.

¹⁰ Feare none of those thynges, which thou shalt suffre. Beholde, the deuyll shall caste some of you into preson, to tempte you, & ye shall haue tribulacyon ten dayes. Be faythfull vnto the deeth, and I wyll geue the a croune of lyfe.

¹¹ Beholde, I come shortly. Holde that which thou hast, that no man take awaye thy crowne.

¹¹ And I sawe a great whyte seate, and him that sate on it, from whose face fleed awaye both the erth and heauen, and their place was nomore founde. ¹² And I sawe the deed, both gret and small stonde before God: And the bokes were opened, and another boke was opened, which is the boke of lyfe, & the deed were iudged of those thynges whych were written in the bokes accordyng to their dedes:

³² Thou shalt ryse vp before the horehed, and reuerence the face of the olde man, and dread thy God. I am the Lorde.

⁴¹ Nowe vp O Lorde God into thy restynge place: thou and the Arcke of thy strengthe. O Lorde God, let thy preastes be clothed with health, and let thy saynctes reioyse in goodnesse.

²⁹ For who so humbleth hym selfe, him shall be set vp: and who so loketh mekely, shalbe healed.

¹⁴ And why? I put vpon me ryghteousnes, which couered me as a garment, and equyte was my crowne.

⁹ Let thy Preastes be clothed wyth ryghteousnesse, & let thy saynctes synge with ioyfulnesse,

¹⁶ I wyll blesse her vytaylles wyth increasse, & will satisfye her poore wyth bread.

³⁴ As for the scornefull dothe not he laugh them to scorne? but he geueth grace vnto the lowly.

¹⁵ For thus sayeth the hye & excellent, euen he that dwelleth in euerlastyngnesse, whose name is the holy one: I dwell hye aboue and in the sanctuary, and wyth hym also, that is of a contrite and humble sprete do I dwell: that I maye heale a troubled mynde, and a contrite herte.

¹⁰ And therfore I am ioyfull in the Lorde, & my soule reioyseth in my God. For he hath put vpon me the garment of saluacion, & couered me with the mantle of ryghteousnes. He shall decke me lyke a brydegrome, and as a bride that hath hyr apparell vpon her.

² As for these thynges, my hande hath made them all, & they are all created, sayeth the Lorde. Whych of them shall I then regarde? Euen him that is pore and of a lowly troubled sprete, & standeth in awe of my wordes.

¹⁰ Be kynd one to another wich brotherly loue. In geuynge honoure, go one before another.

¹⁴ but put ye on the Lorde Iesus Chryst. And make not prouisyon for the fleshe, to fulfyll the lustes of it.

²¹ submittynge youre selues one to another in the feare of God.

³ that nothinge be done thorowe stryfe or of vayne glory, but in mekenes of mynde, let euery man esteme another better then hym selfe.

¹² Therfore as electe of God, holy & beloued, put on tender mercye, kyndnes, humblenes of mynde, mekenes, longe suffrynge,

¹⁷ Obeye them that haue the ouer syght of you, & submyt your selues vnto them, for they watch for your soules, euen as they that must geue acomptes: that they maye do it with ioye, & not with grefe. For that is an vnproffitable thyng for you.

⁶ but geueth more grace.

³ Whose apparell shall not be outward wt broyded heare, & hangyng on of golde, ether in puttynge on of gorgyous apparell: ⁴ but let the hyd man which is in the herte, be without all corrupcyon, so that the sprete be at rest and quyete: whych sprete is before God a thynge moch set by.

¹ For as moch then as Christ hath suffred for vs in the flesshe, arme ye youre selues lykewyse with the same mynde: for he whych suffereth in the flesshe, ceaseth from synn

⁵ whych shall geue acomptes to him, that is ready to iudge quicke and deed.

¹⁹ And I am sure, that the kynge of Egypte wyll not let you goo, no not in a myghtye hande:

³ And so Moses and Aaron came vnto Pharao, & sayd vnto him: Thus sayth the Lorde God of the Ebrues: howe longe shall it be or thou wylt submitte thy selfe vnto me? Let my people go, that they maye serue me.

¹¹ And Moses besought the Lord his God, and sayde: O Lorde, why doeth thy wrath waxe hote agaynst thy people, which thou hast brought oute of the lande of Egipte, wt greate power and with a mightye hande?

⁴¹ Therfore I also wyll walke contrary vnto them, and wyll brynge them into the lande of their enemyes. And then at the leest waye their vncircumcysed hertes shall be tamed, and they shall make an attonement for their mysdeades.

³⁵ Uengeaunce is myne, and I wyll rewarde: their fete shall slyde in due tyme. For the daye of their destruccyon is at hande, and the thynges that shall come vpon them make haste.

²⁹ seest thou how Ahab humbleth hym selfe before me? because he so submytteth hym selfe before me, I wyl not bringe that euell in his dayes: but in his sonnes dayes, wyll I bringe euell vpon hys house.

¹⁹ Because thyne herte dyd melt, and because thou hast humbled thy selfe before me the Lorde, when thou heardest what I spake agaynst thys place, and agaynst the enhabiters of the same (howe that they shulde be destroyed and acursed:) and hast rent thy clothes and wepte before me: of that also haue I hearde, sayth the Lorde.

⁶ Wherupon the lordes of Israel and the kynge humbled them selues, and sayde, the Lorde is ryghteous. ⁷ And whan the Lorde sawe that they submitted themselues, the worde of the Lorde cam to Semeia, sayinge: They submitte them selues, therfore I wyll not destroye them. But I wyll delyuer them somwhat, and my wrath shall not burne vpon Ierusalem by the hande of Sesac.

¹² And when he humbled hymselfe, the wrath of the Lorde turned from hym, that he wolde not destroye all together. And in Iuda all was well.

¹¹ Neuerthelesse, yet dyuerse of Asser, Manasse and of Zabulon submytted them selues, and came to Ierusalem.

²⁶ Notwithstanding Hezekia submitted hym self (after that hys hert was rysen vp) he, & the inhabyters of Ierusalem: and the wrath of the Lord came not vpon them in the dayes of Hezekia.

¹² And when he was in trybulacion, he besought the Lord hys God, & humbled hym selfe exceadyngly before the God of his fathers,

¹⁹ And his prayer, and howe that he was hearde, and all his synnes, and his trespasse, and the places where he made hylaulters, and set vp groues, and ymages (before he was mekened) beholde, they are wrytten among the sayenges of the sears.

²³ and submitted not him selfe before the Lord as Manasse hys father had mekened hym selfe. But Amon trespassed greatly.

¹² And he dyd euell in the syght of the Lorde hys God, and humbled not him selfe before Ieremia the prophete at the mouth of the Lorde.

²² Behold, God is of a mighttye hye power: Where is there soche a gyde & lawe geuer as he?

¹⁰ But I wyll talke of the God of Iacob, and prayse hym for euer. All the hornes of the vngodly also wyll I breake, and the hornes of the ryghteous shalbe exalted.

¹³ Thou hast made the north and the south, Tabor and Hermon shall reioyse in thy name.

¹⁶ Blessed is the people (O Lorde) that can reioyse in the: they shall walke in the lyght of thy countenaunce. ¹⁷ Theyr delyte shalbe daylye in thy name, & in thy ryghteousnesse shall they make theyr boast.

²³ After pryde commeth a fall, but a lowely sprete bringeth greate worshyp.

¹¹ Which casteth downe the high lookes of presumptuous personnes, and bringeth lowe the pryde of man, and the Lorde only shall be exalted in that daye.

⁴ Let all valleyes be exalted, & euery mountayne & hill be layed lowe, what so is croked, let it be made strayght: & let the rough be made playne feldes.

¹⁸ Tell the kynge & the quene: Humble youre selues, sett you downe lowe, for your dignytye shall be throwne downe & the crowne of your glory shall fall from youre head.

¹⁰ Yet are ye not sory vnto this daye, ye feare not, nether walke ye in my lawe and in my commaundementes, that I haue geuen vnto you and youre forefathers.

²¹ As for those that fle from him out of the hoost, they shalbe slayne with the swearde. The resydue shalbe scatred towarde all the wyndes: and ye shall knowe, that I the Lorde haue spoken it.

⁶ Mourne therfore (O thou sonne of man) that thy loynes crack withall, ye mourne bitterly for them in their presence.

²² And thou his sonne (O Balthazar) for all this, hast not submytted thyne herte, though thou knewest all these thinges:

⁸ I will shewe the, O man, what is good, & what the Lorde requyreth of the Namely, to do right, to haue pleasure in louinge kyndnesse, to be lowly, & to walcke wt thy God,

¹² But whosoeuer exalteth him selfe? shalbe brought lowe. And he that humbleth him selfe, shalbe exalted.

⁵² He hath putte downe the myghty from theyr seates, and exalted them of lowe degre.

¹¹ For whosoeuer exalteth him self, shalbe brought lowe. And he that humbleth hym selfe, shalbe exalted.

¹⁴ I tell you: thys man departed home to hys house iustyfyed, more then the other. For euery one that exalteth him self, shalbe brought lowe: And he that humbleth him selfe, shalbe exalted.

⁶ For when we were yet weake, accordyng to the tyme, Christ dyed for vs whych were vngodly:

²² Ether do we prouoke the Lord? Are we stronger then he? I maye do all thynges, but all thynges are not expedient.

⁶ whych gaue him selfe a raunsome for all men, that it shulde be testifyed at hys tyme,

³ but hath opened his worde at the tyme appoynted thorowe preachinge, which is commytted vnto me, accordynge to the commaundement of God oure saueoure.

⁹ Let the brother which is of lowe degre reioyce whan he is exalted. ¹⁰ Agayne: let hym that is riche, reioyce whan he is made lowe. For euen as the flower of the grasse, shall he passe awaye.

¹⁰ Humble youre selues in the sight of the lord, & he shal lyft you vp.

¹⁰ Take (my brethren) the Prophetes for an ensample of sufferinge aduersytie, and of pacience, which spake in the name of the Lorde.

¹⁰ And she was troubled in her mynde, and prayed vnto the Lord, & wepte sore, ¹¹ and vowed a vowe, and sayd: O Lord of hostes, yf thou wylt loke on the trouble of thine handmayde, & remembre me, and not forget thine handmayde, but geue vnto thine handmayde a man chylde: I wyll geue him vnto the Lord all the dayes of his lyfe, & there shall no raser come vpon his heed. ¹² And as she continued praying before the lord, it fortuned, that Eli marked her mouth. ¹³ For Hanna spake in her herte, & her lyppes did but moue onely, but her voyce was not heard: & therfore Eli thought she had bene droncken, ¹⁴ and Eli sayd vnto her: How long wylt thou be droncken? put awaye from the, the wyne that thou hast. ¹⁵ Hanna answered and sayde: not so my Lord, I am a woman of a sorowfull herte: I haue droncke nether wyne nor stronge drynck, but haue powred out my soule before the Lord. ¹⁶ Count not thyne handmayde to be lyke a daughter of Belial, for out of the aboundance of my heuynes & greafe: haue I spoken hitherto. ¹⁷ Eli answered her agayne: & sayde go in peace: the God of Israell graunt the thy peticyon, that thou hast asked of hym. ¹⁸ She sayde: let thyne hand mayde fynde grace in thy sight And so the woman went her waye, & dyd eat, & loked no more so sadde.

⁶ And Dauid was in a shrewde combraunce: for the people entended to stone hym, because the hertes of all the people were vexed for theyr sonnes & theyr daughters. But Dauid toke a good courage to hym in the Lorde hys God

¹³ I shulde vtterlye haue faynted: but that I beleue verely to se the goodnesse of the Lorde in the lande of the lyuinge. ¹⁴ O tary thou the Lordes leysure be stronge, and he shall conforte thyne hert, and put thou thy trust in the Lorde.

¹⁵ The eyes of the Lorde are ouer the ryghteous, & his eares are open vnto their prayers.

⁵ Commytte thy waye vnto the Lorde, & put thy trust in hym, & he shall brynge it to passe.

²² And as for them, thou (O God) shalt brynge them into the pyt of destruccyon.

³ Neuerthelesse, though I am some tyme afrayed yet put I my trust in the. ⁴ I wyll prayse God, because of hys worde, I haue put my trust in God, & wyll not feare, what flesh can do vnto me.

⁴ I cryed vnto the, O Lorde, and sayde: thou arte my hope, and my porcyon in the lande of the lyuynge. ⁵ Consydre my complaynte: for I am brought very lowe.

²⁵ Therfore I saye vnto you: be not carefull for youre lyfe, what ye shall eate or drincke, nor yet for youre bodye, what rayment ye shall put on. Is not the lyfe more worth then meat: and the body more of value then rayment? ²⁶ Behold, the foules of the ayer: for they sowe not, nether do they reape, nor cary into the barnes: and youre heuenly father fedeth them. Are ye not moch better then they?

³³ But rather seke ye fyrst the kyngdome of God, and the ryghteousnesse therof, and al these thinges shalbe ministred vnto you. ³⁴ Care not then for the morow, for the morowe daye shall care for it selfe: sufficient vnto the daye, is the trauayle therof.

³⁸ And he was in the sterne a slepe on a pelowe. And they awake him, & saye vnto hym: Master, carest thou not, that we perishe?

¹¹ When they bringe you vnto the sinagoges, and vnto the rulers and officers, take ye no thought, how or what thinge ye shall answer, or what ye shall speake. ¹² For the holy goost shall teache you in the same houre, what ye ought to saye.

²² And he spake vnto his disciples: Therfore I saye vnto you. Take no thought for youre lyfe, what ye shall eate: nether for the body, what ye shall put on.

³⁰ for all soche thinges do the hethen people of the worlde seke for. ³¹ Youre father knoweth, that ye haue neade of soche thinges. Wherfore, seke ye after the kyngdome of God, and all these thinges shalbe ministred vnto you. ³² Feare not lytell flocke, for it is youre fathers pleasure, to geue you the kyngdome.

¹³ The hyred seruaunt flyeth, because he is an hired seruaunt, and careth not for the shepe.

⁶ Be carefull for nothynge: but in all prayer and supplicacyon let youre peticyons be manifeste vnto God with geuynge of thankes.

⁵ Let your conuersacyon be without coueteousnes and be content with soch thynges as ye haue all ready. For he hath sayd: I will not fayle the, nether forsake the: ⁶ so that we maye boldly saye: the Lorde is my helper, and I will not feare what man maye do vnto me.

⁵ Then went Samson and hys father and his mother downe to Thamnath, and came to the vyne yardes of Thamnath. And behold a yonge lyon roared vpon hym.

⁶ And Esther sayd: the enemye and aduersary is this wicked Haman. Haman, was exceadingly afrayed before the kyng and the quene.

⁶ And vpon a daye when the children of God cam & stode before the Lord, it fortuned that Sathan cam also among them. ⁷ And the Lorde sayde vnto Sathan. From whence commest thou? Sathan answered the Lord, and sayde: I haue gone about the lande, and walcked thorow it.

² And the Lord sayde vnto Satan: From whence commest thou? Satan answered the Lorde, and sayde: I haue gone about the land, and walcked thorow it.

²¹ The lyons roaring after their praye to seke theyr meate at God.

⁶ When sentence is geuen vpon him, let him be condemned, and let his prayer be turned into synne.

¹² The kynges dysfauoure is lyke the roarynge of a lyon, but hys frendshypis lyke the dewe vpon the grasse.

² The kynge ought to be feared as the roaryng of a lion: who so prouoketh him vnto anger offendeth agenst his awne soule.

²⁹ His crye is as it were of a lyon, and he roareth lyke lyons whelpes. They shall roare, & hantch vp the praye, & no man shall recouer it or get it from them. ³⁰ In that daye they shalbe so fearce vpon them, as the see. And yf we looke vnto the lande, beholde, it shalbe all darcknesse & sorowe. If we loke toward heauen: beholde, it shalbe darcke.

¹² How art thou fallen from heauen (O Lucifer) thou faire mornynge childe? how hast thou gotten a fall euen to the grounde, and art become weaker then the people? ¹³ For thou saydest in thyne herte: I will clyme vp into heauen, & exalte my throne aboue besyde the starres of God, I will syt also vpon the holy mount towarde the North,

⁸ He is at hand that iustifieth me, who will then go wt me to lawe? Let vs stande one against another: yf there be any that wyll reason with me, let hym come here forth to me.

¹⁵ Why do they roare and crye then vpon him, as a lyon? They haue made his lande waste, hys cyties are so brent vp, that there is no man dwellynge in them.

³⁸ They shall roare together lyke lyons, and as the yonge lyons when they be angrye, so shall they bende them selues.

⁷ he destroyed their palaces, and made their cyties waste. In so moch that the whole lande & euery thinge therin, were vtterly desolate, thorow the very voyce of his roaringe.

²⁵ thy Prophetes that are in the, are sworne together to deuoure soules, lyke as a roarynge Lyon, that lyueth by his praye. They receaue ryches and good, & make many wyddowes in the.

²⁴ And as for those men which had accused Daniel, the kyng, commaunded to brynge them, and to cast them in the Lyons denne: them, theyr chyldren and theyr wyues. So the Lyons had the mastry of them, and brake all theyr bones asonder, or euer they came at the grounde.

¹⁰ The Lorde roareth lyke a lyon, that they maye folowe hym: yee, as a lyon roareth he, that they maye be afrayed lyke the chyldren of the see:

⁸ I will come vpon them as she beare, that is robbed of her whelpes, & I will breake that stubburne herte of theirs. There will I deuoure them as a lyon: yee: that wylde beastes shall teare them.

¹⁶ The Lorde shall roare out of Syon, and crye out of Ierusalem, that the heauens and the earth shall quake withall. But the Lorde shalbe a defence vnto hys awne people, and a refuge for the chyldren of Israel.

² And he sayde: The Lorde shall roare oute of Sion, and shewe his voyce from Ierusalem: so that the pastures of the shepherdes shalbe in a myserable case, & the toppe of Charmel dryed vp.

⁴ Doth a lyon roare in the wodde, except he haue a praye? Or crieth a lyons whelpe out of his denne, excepte he haue gotten somthinge?

⁸ When a lyon roareth, who wyll not be afrayed? Seinge then that the Lorde God him selfe speaketh, who wyll not prophecy?

¹ And he shewed me Iesua the hye prest standyng before the angel of the lord and Satan stode at his ryght hand to resyst hym.

³ Men may heare the shepherdes mourne, for their glorye is destroyed. Men may heare the lyons whelpes roare, for the pryde of Iordane is wasted awaye.

¹ Then was Iesus led awaye of the sprite: into wyldernes: to be tempted of the deuell.

¹¹ Then the deuyl leaueth him, and behold, the angels came, & ministed vnto him.

³⁹ the enemie that soweth them, is the deuyll. The haruest is the ende of the worlde: the reapers be the Angels.

⁴² Watch therfore, for ye knowe not what houre your lord will come.

⁴⁸ But & yf that euyll seruaunt saye in hys herte, my Lorde wyll be long a commyng ⁴⁹ (and so begynne to smyte his felowes, yee, and to eate & drincke wyth the droncken) ⁵⁰ the same seruauntes Lord shall come in a daye when he loketh not for hym, and in an houre that he is not ware of,

⁴¹ Then shall he saye also vnto them, that shalbe on the lyfte hand: departe from me ye cursed into euerlastynge fyre: whych is prepared for the deuyll and his angels.

⁴⁵ But and yf the seruaunt saye in his herte. My Lorde will deferre his comminge (and shall beginne to smite seruauntes and maydens, and to eate and drincke, and to be droncken) ⁴⁶ the Lorde of that seruaunt will come in a daye when he thinketh not, and at an houre when he is not ware, and will hewe him in peces, and geue him his rewarde with the vnbeleuers.

³⁴ Take hede to your selues, lest at anye tyme youre hertes be ouercome with surfettynge and dronkennes and cares of thys lyfe, and so the daye come vpon you vnwares.

³⁶ Watch ye therfore contynually, and praye, that ye maye escape all these thynges that shall come, and that ye maye stande before the sonne of man.

³¹ And the Lord sayde: Symon, Simon, beholde, Satan hath desyred to syfte you, as it were wheate:

⁴⁴ Ye are of youre father that deuyll, and the lustes of youre father will ye serue. He was a murtherer from the beginninge and abode not in the trueth, because there is no trueth in him. When he speaketh a lye, he speaketh of his awne. For he is a lyar, and the father of the same thing:

¹¹ This also, we knowe the season howe that it is tyme that we shulde now awake out of slepe. For now is oure saluacyon nearer, then when we beleued. ¹² The nyght is passed, the daye is come nye. Let vs therfore cast awaye the dedes of darcknes, and let vs put on the Armoure of lyght. ¹³ Let vs walke honestly as it were in the daye lyght: not in eatynge & drynckynge, nether in chamburyng and wantannes, nether in stryfe & enuyinge:

²⁷ nether geue place vnto the backbyter.

¹¹ Put on all the armoure of God, that ye maye stande agaynst the assautes of the deuyll.

⁶ Therfore let vs not slepe as do other: but let vs wacth, & be sober. ⁷ For they that slepe, slepe in the nyght: & they that be droncken, are droncken in the nyght. 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.

⁹ Lykewise also the wemen, that they araye them selues in comlye apparell wyth shamfastnes and discrete behaueour, not wt broyded heare, ether golde or pearles, or costly araye:

¹⁵ Notwythstandynge thorowe bearynge of chyldren she shalbe saued, yf they contynue in fayth and loue, and holynes, wyth discrecyon.

² A Bisshoppe therfore must be blameles, the husbande of one wyfe, dilygent, sober, discrete, a keper of hospitalite: apte to teach:

¹¹ Euen so must theyr wyues be honest, not euyll speakers: but sober and faythfull in all thynges.

¹⁷ Not wythstandynge the Lorde, assysted me, and strengthed me, that by me the preachynge shulde be fulfylled to the vtmost, and that all the Gentyls shulde heare. And I was delyuered out of the mouth of the lyon.

⁸ but a keper of hospitalite, one that loueth goodnes sobre, ryghteous, godly, temperat,

² That the elder men be sober sage, discrete, sounde in the fayth, in loue, in pacyence:

⁴ to make the younge wemen sobre mynded, to loue theyr husbandes, to loue their chyldren,

⁶ Yonge men lykewyse exhorte, that they be sobre mynded.

¹² and teacheth vs that we shulde denye vngodlynes and worldy lustes, & that we shulde lyue soberly, and ryghteously, and godly in thys present worlde,

⁷ Submit your selues therfore to God: but resyst the deuyll, and he will flye from you.

¹³ Wherfore gyrde vp the loynes of youre mynde, be sober, & trust perfectly on the grace that is brought vnto you (by the declaryng of Iesus Chryst)

⁷ The ende of al thinges is at hande. Be ye therfore sober, and watch vnto prayer.

⁸ He that committeth synne, is of the deuyll: for the deuyll synneth sence the beginnynge. For this purpose appeared the sonne of God, to lowse the worckes of the deuyl. ⁹ Whosoeuer is borne of God, synneth not: for his seed remayneth in him, and he cannot synne, because he is borne of God. ¹⁰ In thys are the chyldren of God knowen, and the chyldren of the deuyll. Whosoeuer doeth not ryghteousnes, is not of God, nether he that loueth not hys brother.

⁹ And the great dragon, that olde serpent, called the deuyll & Sathanas, was cast out. Which deceaueth all the worlde. And he was cast into the erth & his angelles were cast out also

¹² Therfore reioyce heuens, & ye that dwell in them. Woo to the inhabiters of the erth, and of the see: for the deuyll is come downe vnto you, which hath great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short tyme.

² And he toke the dragon the olde serpente, which is the deuyll & Satanas, & he bounde hym a thousande yeres:

¹⁰ and the deuyll that deceaued them, was cast into a lake of fyre and brymstone, where the beast and the false prophetes shalbe tormented daye and nyght for euermore.

³ And the deuyll sayde vnto him: yf thou be the sonne of God commaunde this stone that it be breed. ⁴ And Iesus answered hym, saying: It is written man shall not lyue by breed only, but by euery worde of God. ⁵ And the deuyll toke him into an hye mountayne, and shewed him all the kyngdoms of the worlde, euen in the twincklyng of an eye. ⁶ And the deuyll sayde vnto him: all this power will I geue the euery whit, & the glory of them: for they are delyuered vnto me, and to whomsoeuer I wyll, I geue it. ⁷ If thou therfore wyll falt downe before me & worshyp me, they shalbe all thyne. ⁸ Iesus answered and sayde vnto him: hence from me Satan. For it is wrytten Thou shalt worshyp the Lorde thy God, and him onely shalt thou serue. ⁹ And he caryed him to Ierusalem, and set him on a pynacle of the temple, and sayd vnto him: Yf thou be the sonne of God, cast thy selfe downe from hens. ¹⁰ For it is wrytten: he shall geue his Angels charge ouer the, to kepe the, ¹¹ and in their handes they shall beare the vp, that thou dasshe not thy fote agaynst a stone. ¹² And Iesus answered, and sayde vnto hym, it is sayd: thou shalt not tempte the Lorde thy God.

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

³³ These wordes haue I spoken vnto you, that in me ye myghte haue peace. For in the worlde shall ye haue tribulacyon: but be of good chere, I haue ouercome the worlde.

²² and strengthed the discyples soules agayne, and exhorted them to contynue in the fayth affirmynge that we must thorowe moche tribulacyon enntre into the kyngdome of God.

¹³ Ther hath none other temptacyon taken you, but soche as foloweth the nature of man. But God is faythfull whych shall not suffer you to be tempted aboue youre strength: but shall in the myddes of the temptacyon make awaye, that ye maye be able to beare it.

¹¹ Put on all the armoure of God, that ye maye stande agaynst the assautes of the deuyll. ¹² For we wrestle not agaynst bloude and flesshe: but agaynst rule, agaynst power, agaynst worldy rulers, euen gouerners of the darcknes of thys worlde, agaynst spretuall craftynes in heauenly thynges. ¹³ Wherfore take vnto you the whole armoure of God, that ye maye be able to resyste in the euyll daye, and stande perfecte in all thinges.

¹⁶ Aboue all, take to you the shylde of fayth, wherwith ye maye quenche all the fyrie dartes of the wycked.

⁵ For though I be absent in the flesshe, yet am I with you in the sprete, ioyinge and beholdynge youre order, and youre sted fast fayth in Chryst

¹⁵ Whych as they kylled the Lorde Iesus, and theyr awne Prophetes, euen so haue they persecuted vs: and God they please not, and are contrary to al men, ¹⁶ & hynder vs, that we shuld not speake vnto the Gentyls, that they myght be saued, to fulfyll their synnes alwaye. For the wrath of God is come on them, euen to the vtmost.

³ that no man shulde be moued in these affliccyons, For ye your selues knowe, that we are euen apoynted there vnto.

¹² Fyght the good fyght of fayth. Laye, hande on eternall lyfe, wher vnto thou art also called, and hast professed a good professyon before many witnesses.

¹² Yee, and all they that wyll lyue godly in Christ Iesu shall suffre persecutyon.

⁷ I haue fought a good fyght, I haue fulfylled my course, I haue kept the fayth.

³³ Which thorow faith subdued kingdomes wrought righteousnes: obteyned the promyses: stopped the mouthes of lyons:

⁶ in the whych ye reioyce, though now for a season (yf nede require) ye are in heuynes, thorowe manifolde temptacyons,

²¹ For here vnto verely were ye called: for Christ also suffered for vs leauynge vs an ensample, that ye shulde folowe his steppes,

¹⁴ Yee, happy are ye, yf anye trouble happen vnto you for rightewesnesse sake. Be not ye afrayed for anye terroure of them, nether be ye troubled

¹³ but reioyce, in as moch as ye are partakers of Christes passyons: that when hys glory appeareth, ye maye be mery and glad.

¹¹ And longe whyte garmentes were geuen vnto euery one of them. And it was sayde vnto them, that they shuld reste yet for a lytle season vntyll the nomber of theyr felowes, and brethren, & of them that shulde be kylled as they were, were fulfylled.

¹⁴ And I sayde vnto him: Lord thou wotest. And he sayde to me: these are they, whych came out of great tribulacyon, & made their garmentes large, & made them white by the bloude of the lambe:

⁶ And when the Lord walked before him, he cryed, Lorde Lorde God, mercyfull and gracyous, long suffering, & aboundaunt in goodnes & trueth, ⁷ & kepyng mercye in store for thousandes, forgeuynge wikednes, vngodlynes & synne, & not leauynge one innocent, visytynge the wyckednes of the fathers vpon the children and vpon childrens children, euen vnto the third and fourth generacyon.

⁵ For thou Lord art good and gracious, and of greate mercy vnto all them that call vpon the.

¹⁵ But thou, O Lorde God, art full of compassyon, and mercy, longe suffrynge, plenteous in goodnes and trueth.

⁷ Though I walke in the myddest of trouble: yet shalt thou refressh me: thou shalt stretch forth thyne hand vpon the furiousnes of myne enemyes, & thy ryght hand shall saue me.

¹⁸ Where is there soch a God as thou? that pardonest wyckednes, and forgeuest the offences of the remnaunt of thyne herytage? He kepeth not his wrath for euer: and why? his delite is to haue compassion: ¹⁹ he shal turne agayne, and be mercyfull to vs: he shal put downe oure wyckednesses, and cast all oure synnes into the botome of the see.

⁶ I wyll comforte the house of Iuda, and preserue the house of Ioseph. I wyll turne them also, for I pitie them: and they shal be lyke as they were, when I had not cast them of. For I the Lorde am their God, and wyll heare them.

¹² I wyll comforte them in the Lorde, that they maye walke in his name, sayeth the Lorde.

²⁰ But the lawe in the meane tyme entred in, the synne shulde encreace. Neuerthelater where aboundance of synne was, there was more plenteousnes of grace. ²¹ That as synne had raygned vnto deeth, euen so myght grace raygne thorow ryghtewesnes, vnto eternall lyfe, by the helpe of Iesu Christ.

²⁸ We knowe that all thynhes worke for the best vnto them that loue God, which also are called of purpose. ²⁹ For those which he knewe before, he also ordeyned before, that they shulde be lyke fassyoned vnto the shape of hys sonne, that he myght be the fyrst begotten sonne amonge many brethren. ³⁰ Moreouer, whom he appoynted before, them also he called. And whom he hath called, them also he iustyfyed: and whom he iustyfyed, them he also gloryfyed.

¹¹ For yer the chyldren were borne, when they had nether done good nether bad (that the purpose of God by eleccyon, myght stande) it was sayde vnto her, not by the reason of workes, but by the caller:

²⁴ whom also he called, not of the Iewes onely, but also of the gentyls.

⁵ The God of pacyence and consolacyon, graunt you, to be lyke mynded one towardes another, after the ensample of Chryst Iesu:

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.

²⁵ To him that is of power to stablisshe you, according to my Gospell, & preaching of Iesus Christ in vtterynge of the mistery whych was kept secret sence the worlde beganne,

⁹ God is faythfull, by whom ye are called vnto the fellyshyppe of hys sonne Iesus Christ our Lord.

¹⁷ For oure tribulacyon which is momentany and lyght. prepareth an excedinge & an eternall wayght of glorye vnto vs,

¹¹ Finallye brethren, fare ye well, be parfect, be of good conforte, be of one mynde, lyue in peace, and the God of loue and peace shalbe with you.

¹³ I can do all thinges thorowe Christ which strengtheneth me.

²² in the body of hys flesshe thorowe deeth, to make you holy, and vnblameable, & without faut in hys awne syght, ²³ yf ye contynue grounded and stablysshed in the fayth, and be not moued awaye from the hope of the Gospell, wherof ye haue herde, howe that it is preached amonge all creatures which are vnder heauen, wherof I Paul am made a mynyster.

⁷ so that ye be rotyd and buylte in hym, and stablysshed thorow fayth, as ye haue learned: and therin be plenteous with geuynge thankes.

¹² that ye wolde walke worthy of God, whych hath called you vnto his kyngdome and glorye.

¹⁴ wher vnto he called you by oure Gospell, to obtayne the glorye of oure Lord Iesu Christ.

¹⁷ comforte your hertes and stablysshe you in all good sayenge and doynge.

³ but the Lord is faythfull, whych shall stablysshe you, and preserue you from euyll.

⁹ which saued vs, and called vs with an holy callynge, not accordynge to oure dedes, but accordynge to his awne purpose & grace, whych was geuen vs thorowe Christ Iesu (before the worlde beganne)

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.

¹⁵ And for this cause is he the mediator of the new testament, that thorow deeth which chaunsed, for the redempcion of those transgressions that were vnder the fyrst testament they whych are called, myght receaue the promes of eternall inheritaunce.

²⁰ The God of peace that brought agayne from deeth our Lorde Iesus the gret shepperde of the shepe, thorow the bloud of the euerlastyng testament, ²¹ make you parfect in all good workes, to do hys wyll, and bryng to passe, that the thyng which ye do, maye be pleasaunt in his syght thorowe Iesus Christ. To whom be prayse for euer whyle the world endureth. Amen.

⁶ in the whych ye reioyce, though now for a season (yf nede require) ye are in heuynes, thorowe manifolde temptacyons, ⁷ that the triall of youre fayth beyng moche more precious then golde that peryssheth (though it be tryed with fyre) myght be founde vnto laude, glory and honoure, at the apperynge of Iesus Chryst,

¹⁵ by whych ye were led, whan as yet ye were ignoraunt of Christ: but as he which called you, is holy, euen so be ye holy also in all maner of conuersacyon,

¹¹ If eny man speake, let him talke as the wordes of God. If eny man mynister, let him do it as of the abylite, whych God mynystreth vnto hym. That God in all thynges maye be glorifyed thorow Iesus Christ, to whom be prayse and dominion for euer and euer. Amen.

³ Accordynge as his godly power hath geuen vnto vs all thinges that pertayne vnto lyfe and godlynes, thorow the knowledge of him that hath called vs by glory, and vertue,

²⁵ And thys is the promes that he hath promysed vs, euen eternall lyfe.

²⁴ Unto him that is able to kepe you fre from synne, & to present you fautlesse before the presence of his glory wt ioye

³⁶ For of hym, and thorow hym, and for hym are all thynges: To hym be glorye for euer. Amen.

⁶ & made vs kynges and Prestes vnto God his father, be glory and dominion for euermore. Amen.

¹³ And all the creatures whych are in heauen, & on the erth, & vnder the erth, & in the see, & all that are in them, herde I sayinge, blessyng, honour, glory, & power be vnto hym that sytteth vpon the seate, & vnto the lambe for euermore.

²¹ When Peter therfore sawe him, he sayeth to Iesus: Lord, what shall he here do?

²³ Which when he came, & had sene the grace of God, was glad, & exhorted them all, that with purpose of hert, they wold contynually cleaue vnto the Lord.

²⁴ But none of these thinges moue me nether is my lyfe deare vnto my selfe, that I might fulfyll my course with ioye, and the ministracyon which I haue receaued of the Lorde Iesu, to testifye the Gospell of the grace of God.

⁹ If we receaue the wytnes of men, the witnes of God is greater. For this is the witnes of God which he testifyed of his sonne. ¹⁰ He that beleueth on the sonne of God, hath the witnes in hym selfe. He that be beleueth not God, hath made him a liar
