¹³ Ye speake harde wordes agaynst me, sayeth the Lorde. And yet ye saye: What haue we spoken agaynst the?

¹⁵ to geue iudgement agaynst all men, & to rebuke all that are vngodly amonge them of all their vngodly dedes, which they haue vngodly committed, and of all their cruell speakynges, which vngodly synners haue spoken agaynst hym. ¹⁶ These are murmurers, complayners, walkyng after their awne lustes, whose mouthes speake proude thinges.

¹⁵ Their swerde shall go thorow their awne herte, & their bowe shalbe broken.

¹⁷ For the armes of the vngodly shalbe broken, and the Lorde vpholdeth the ryghtuous.

⁹ He maketh warres to ceasse in all the worlde: he breaketh the bowe & knappeth the speare in sonder, & burneth the charettes in the fyre.

³ There brake he the arowes of the bowe, the shylde, the swerde, and the battayle. Sela.

⁴ that when I with drawe my hande ye come not amonge the presoners, or lye amonge the deed? After all this doth not the wrath of the Lord ceasse, but yet is his hande stretched out styll.

¹⁰ For though ye had slayne the whole hoste of the Caldees, that besege you, and euery one of the slayne laye in his tente, yet shulde they stande vp, and set fyre vpon thys cyte.

⁹ We suffre persecucion: but are not forsaken therin. We are cast downe: neuerthelesse we perysshe not. ¹⁰ We all wayes beare aboute in the bodye, the dyinge of the Lorde Iesus, that the lyfe of Iesu myght also appeare in oure bodye.

⁹ For this thynge besought I the Lorde thryse, that it might departe from me.

¹⁴ Stande therfore, and youre loynes gyrd with the trueth, hauynge on the brest plate of ryghtewesnes,

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

³⁴ quenched that violence of fyre: escaped the edge of the swearde: out of weaknesse, were made stronge: waxed valient in fyght: turned to flight the armyes of the alientes

⁶ And her enemye (Phenenna) vexed her sore contynually, to moue her, because the lord had made her barren.

²⁰ for in processe of tyme it came to passe, that she conceaued, & bare a sonne, & called his name Samuel (sayeng:) because I haue asked him of the Lord.

¹⁰ The lyons do lacke, & suffre hunger but they which seke the Lorde: shall want no maner of thynge that is good.

⁹ He maketh the baren woman to kepe house, and to be a ioyfull mother of children. Prayse the Lorde.

¹ Be glad now, thou baren that bearest not, reioyce, synge and be mery thou that art not wyth chylde: For the desolate hath moo chyldren, then the maryed wyfe, sayeth the Lorde.

⁹ She that hath borne seuen chyldren, hath noone, her herte is full of sorowe. The Sunne doth fayle her in the cleare daye, she is confounded and fayntie for very heuynesse. As for those that remayne, I wyll delyuer them vnto the swearde before theyr enemyes, sayth the Lorde.

⁵³ He hath fylled the hongrye with good thynges: and sent awaye the ryche emptye.

²⁵ But Abraham sayde: Sonne remember that thou in thy lyfe tyme, receauedst thy pleasure, & contrary wyse, Lazarus receaued payne. But now is he conforted, and thou art punisshed.

²⁷ For it is written. Reioyce thou baren, that bearest no chyldren: breake forth and crye, thou the trauaylest not. For the desolat hath many moo chyldren, then she which hathe an husbande.

³ And Dauid sware againe, and sayde, thy father knoweth that I haue founde grace in thyne eyes, and therfore he sayeth: Ionathas shall not knowe it, leste he be sorye. And in very dede, euen as truly as the Lorde lyueth, and as truly as thy soule lyueth, there is but a steppe betwene me and deeth.

⁷ And it fortuned, that when the kynge of Israel had redde the letter, he rent his clothes, and sayde: am I God, that I shulde slaye, & make alyue? For he doth sende to me that I shulde delyuer a man from his leprosie. Wherfore consyder (I praye you) and se howe he seketh a quarell agaynst me.

¹⁸ For though he make a wounde, he geueth a playster: though he smyte, hys hande maketh whole agayne.

²⁰ He is oure God, euen the God of whom commeth saluacion: God is the Lorde by whom we escape death.

³ The snares of death compased me round about, and the paynes of hell gat hold vpon me,

¹⁹ Thy deed men shall lyue, euen wt my body shall they rise agayne. Awake and syng ye that dwell in dust. For thy dewe is euen as the dewe of herbes, and the earth shall cast out them that be vnder her.

¹ In theyr aduersite they shall erlye seke me, & saye: come, let vs turne agayne to the Lorde: for he hath smyten vs, and he shall heale vs: ² He hath wounded vs, and he shall bynde vs vp agayne: after two dayes shall he quycken vs, in the thyrde daye he shall rayse vs vp, so that we shall lyue in hys syght.

² b) And Ionas prayed vnto the Lorde hys God, out of the fysshes bely, ³ and sayd. In my trouble I called vnto the Lorde, and he herde me: out of the bely of hell I cryed, & thou herdest my voyce. ⁴ Thou haddest cast me downe depe in the myddest of the see, & the floude compased me aboute: yee, all thy waues and roules of water went ouer me, ⁵ I thought that I had bene cast awaye out of thy syght: but I will yet agayne loke towarde thy holy temple. ⁶ The waters compased me, euen to the very soule: the depe laye aboute me, & the wedes were wrapte aboute myne head.

⁴⁰ For as Ionas was thre dayes and thre nightes in the whales belly, so shall the sonne of man be thre dayes and thre nightes in the herte of the erth.

²⁵ Uerely, verely, I saye vnto you the houre shall come, & nowe it is, when the deed shall heare the voyce of the sonne of God. And they that heare, shall lyue. ²⁶ For as the father hath lyfe in hym selfe, so lykewyse hath he geuen to the sonne to haue lyfe in hym selfe: ²⁷ and hath geuen him power also to iudge, because he is the sonne of man. ²⁸ Maruayle not at this: for the houre shal come, in that which, all that are in the graues, shall heare hys voyce, ²⁹ and shall come forth: they that haue done good, vnto the resurreccion of lyfe: and they that haue done euyll, vnto the resurreccion of damnacion.

²⁵ Iesus sayth vnto her: I am the resurreccyon and the lyfe: He that beleueth on me, ye though he were deed, yet shall he lyue.

⁹ Also we receaued an answer of deeth in oure selues, that we shuld not put oure trust in our selues: but in God, whych rayseth the deed to lyfe, ¹⁰ and whych delyuered vs from so great a deeth: and doth delyuer. On whom we trust, that yet hereafter he wyll delyuer,

¹⁸ & and am a lyue, and was deed. And beholde I am a lyue for euermore & haue the keyes of hell & of deeth.

¹⁷ Lest thou shuldest saye in thyne herte my power & the might of myne awne hande hath prepared me thys abundaunce: ¹⁸ But remembre the Lorde thy God, howe that it is he which geueth the power to get substaunce, for to make good the promesse whych he sware vnto thy fathers, as thys daye doth wytnesse.

²¹ and sayd: Naked came I out of my mothers wombe, and naked shall I turne thyther agayne. The Lord gaue, and the Lorde hath taken awaye blessed be the name of the Lord.

¹¹ to set vp them that be of lowe degre, and that those which are in heuynesse may come to prosperite.

⁷ For promocion commeth nether from the East, ner from the west, ner yet from the south.

¹⁰ And that because of thyne indignacyon & wrath, for thou hast taken me vp, & cast me downe.

¹² For the daye of the Lord of Hostes shall go ouer al pride and presumption, vpon all them that exalte them selues, and shall brynge them all downe:

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.

¹⁴ Pharao sent therfore and called Ioseph. And they brought hym hastely out of preson. And he shaued hym selfe and chaunged hys rayment, and came in to Pharao.

⁴⁰ Thou therfore shalt be ouer my house, and accordynge to thy worde shall all my people be ruled, only in the kynges seate wyll I be aboue the.

¹⁷ Samuel sayde when thou wast lytle in thyne awne syght, wast thou not made the heed of the trybes of Israel? And the Lorde anoynted the kyng ouer Israel.

⁸ Now therfore, so saye vnto my seruaunt Dauid: thus sayth the Lorde of Hostes. I toke the from the shepe cote (as thou wast folowyng shepe) that thou myghtest be ruler ouer my people Israel.

⁸ so that he sat vpon the ground in the asshes, and scraped of the fylth of hys sores with a potsherde.

⁶ As for the vngodly, he shall not preserue hym, but shall helpe the poore to their ryght. ⁷ He shall turne hys eyes awaye from the ryghteous, but as kynges shall they be in theyr trone, he shall stablysh them for euer, & they shalbe exalted.

⁴ Where wast thou, when I layde the foundacyons of the earth? Tell playnely, yf thou hast vnderstandyng. ⁵ Who hath measured it, knowest thou? Or, who hath spreade the lyne vpon it? ⁶ Where vpon stande the pyllers of it? Or, who layed the corner stone therof?

¹⁰ and the Lorde turned the captiuite of Iob, when he prayed for his frindes: Yee, the Lord gaue Iob twyse as moch as he had afore. ¹¹ And then came there vnto hym all hys brethren, all hys systers, & all they that had bene of hys acquayntaunce afore, & dyd eat bread with him in his housse, wondrynge at hym, and comfortynge hym ouer all the trouble, that the Lorde had brought vpon hym. Euery man also gaue hym a certayne some of money and a Iewell of golde. ¹² And the Lorde made Iob rycher then he was before: for he had fourtene .M. shepe .vj.M. camels, a .M. youck of oxen, and a .M. asses.

² For he hath founded it vpon the sees, & prepared it vpon the floudes.

²⁵ Thou Lorde in the begynnyng hast layed the foundacyon of the earth, and the heauens are the worcke of thy handes.

⁵ He layed the foundacyon of the earth, that it neuer shulde moue at eny tyme.

⁷ He taketh vp the simple out of the dust, and lyfteth the poore out of the myre. ⁸ That he maye sett him with the princes, euen with the prynces of his people.

¹⁴ Some one commeth out of preson, and is made a kynge: and another which is borne in the kyngdome, commeth vnto pouerte.

⁴⁸ So the kynge made Daniel a greate man, and gaue hym many & greate gyftes. He made him ruler of all the countrees of Babylon, and Lord of all the nobles, that were at Babylon.

¹⁷ This erande of the watcher, is a commaundment grounded and sought out in the councell of him, that is most holy: to learne men for to vnderstande, that the hyest hath power ouer the kyngdomes of men, & geueth them, to whom it lyketh him, and bringeth the very out castes of men ouer them.

³ But Daniel exceaded all these Prynces and Lordes, for the sprete of God was plenteous in him: so that the kynge was mynded to set hym ouer the whole realme.

⁵¹ He hath shewed strength with his arme, he hath scattered them that are proude in the ymaginacyon of their herte. ⁵² He hath putte downe the myghty from theyr seates, and exalted them of lowe degre.

³ Which (sonne) beinge the bryghtnes of his glory, and that very ymage of his substance rulynge all thynges with the worde of hys power, hath by hys awne person pourged oure synnes, and sytteth on the ryght hande of the maiestye on hye:

⁵ Harken my deare beloued brethren. Hath not God chosen the poore of thys worlde, soch as are ryche in faythe, & heyres of the kyngdome, whych he promysed to them that loue hym?

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

²¹ To hym that ouercommeth wyll I graunte to syt with me in my seate, euen as I ouercam, & haue sytten with my father in his seate.

¹⁰ and hast made vs vnto oure God, kynges, and prestes, & we shall raygne on the erth.

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.

³ And he loued the people. All hys sayntes also are in thy handes. They were smytten to go after thy fete, and to receaue of thy wordes.

⁴⁹ And Dauid put his hande in hys bagge, and toke out a stone, and slange it, & smote the Philistine in his forheed, that the stone souncke into his forheed and he felle grouelynge to the erth. ⁵⁰ And so Dauid ouercame the Philistine with a slyng and a stone, and smote the Philistine, and slue hym, euen whan Dauid had no swerde in hys hande.

¹⁶ He is the hope of the poore, and the mouth of the wicked shalbe stopped.

²⁴ And thou shalt knowe that thy dwellyng place shalbe in rest: and thou shalt go and beholde thy habytacyon, and shalt not synne.

¹⁶ There is no kynge that can be saued by the multytude of an hoost, nether is any myghtie man delyuered by moche strength. ¹⁷ A horse is counted but a vayne thynge to saue a man, neyther shall he delyuer any man by hys greate strength.

²³ The Lord ordreth a good mans goinge, & maketh his waye acceptable to him self. ²⁴ Though he fall, he shal not be cast awaye, for the Lord vpholdeth him with his hande.

²⁸ For the Lorde loueth the thynge that is ryght, he forsaketh not hys that be godly, but they are preserued for euermore:

¹¹ For he shall geue his angels charge ouer the, to kepe the in all thy wayes. ¹² They shall beare the in theyr handes, that thou hurt not thy fote agaynste a stone.

¹⁸ But when I sayd: my fote hath slipped, thy mercy (O Lord) helde me vp.

¹⁰ O ye that loue the Lorde, se that ye hate the thynge whych is euell: the Lorde preserueth the soules of hys saynctes, he shall delyuer them from the hande of the vngodly.

³ He wyll not suffre thy fote to be moued, and he that kepeth the, wyll not slepe.

⁵ The Lorde hym selfe is thy keper, the Lorde is thy defence vpon thy ryght hande.

⁸ The Lorde shall preserue thy goynge out and thy commynge in, from thys tyme forth for euer more.

⁸ he kepeth them in the ryght pathe, and preserueth the waye of soche as serue hym with godlynesse.

²⁶ For the Lorde shall stonde by thy syde, and kepe thy fote, that thou be not taken.

⁹ A man deuiseth awaye in his herte, but it is the Lorde that ordreth hys goynges.

¹⁷ All the dayes of his lyfe also he dyd eate in the darcke, with greate carefulnesse, sycknesse and sorow.

¹¹ So I turned me vnto other thinges vnder the Sunne, & I sawe, that in runnyng, it helpeth not to be swyft: in batayle, it helpeth not to be stronge: to fedynge, it helpeth not to be wyse, so riches, it helpeth not to be suttell: to be had in fauoure, it helpeth not to be connyng: but that all lyeth in tyme & fortune.

¹⁴ why prolonge we the tyme? Let vs gather oure selues together, and go into the stronge cytie, there shall we be in rest. For the Lorde oure God hath put vs to sylence, & geuen vs water mixte wt gall, to dryncke: because we haue synned agaynst hym.

²³ Thus sayeth the Lorde. Let not the wyse man reioyse in his wysdome, ner the strong man in his strength, nether the ryche man in his rychesse.

¹⁵ for that daye is a daye of wrath, a daye of trouble and heuynesse, a daye of vtter destruccion & misery, a darcke & glomynge daye, a cloudy & stormy daye,

⁶ He answered & sayde vnto me: This is the worde of the Lorde vnto Zorobabel, sayinge: Nether thorow an hooste of men nor thorowe strengthe, but thorowe my sprete, sayeth the Lorde of hoostes.

¹² but the children of the kyngdome shalbe cast out into vtter darcknes: there shalbe weping and gnasshing of teth.

¹² he sayd vnto hym: frende, how camest thou in hyther not hauyng a weddynge garment? And he was euen spechlesse. ¹³ Then sayd the king to the ministers: take & bynde him hand and fote, & cast hym into vtter darcknes there shall be wepynge & gnasshynge of teth.

¹⁹ We knowe that what thynges soeuer the lawe sayth, it sayth it to them which are vnder the lawe. That all mouthes maye be stopped, & that all the worlde maye be subdued to God,

⁵ whych are kept by the power of of God thorow fayth, vnto saluacion, whych is prepared allready to be shewed in the last tyme,

¹⁷ These are welles without water: cloudes that are, caried with a tempest, to whom the myst of darcknes is reserued for euer.

¹ Iudas the seruaunt of Iesus Christ the brother of Iames. To them which are called, and sanctifyed in God the father, and preserued in Iesu Christ.

³ Beloued, when I gaue all dyligence to wryte vnto you of the commen saluacyon, it was nedeful for me to write vnto you, to exhorte you, that ye shuld contynually laboure in the fayth, which was once geuen vnto the saynctes.

¹³ They are the ragynge waues of the see, fomynge out their awne shame. They are wandrynge sterres, to whom is reserued the myst of darcknes for euer.

⁶ Thy ryght hande Lorde, is become glorious in power: thy ryght hande Lorde hath all to dashed the enemy.

³¹ So perishe all thine enemyes: O Lord: but they that loue him, let them be as the sonne whan he ryseth in his might. And the lande had rest fourtye yeres.

¹⁰ And as Samuel offred the burntoffring, the Philistines came to fyght agenst Israel. But the Lorde thondered a great thonder that same daye amonge the Philistines, and scatered them, that they fell before Israel.

³ Beholde, here I am: beare recorde of me before the Lorde and before hys anoynted: Whose oxe haue I taken? or whose Asse haue I taken? whom haue I done wrong to? Whom haue I hurt? Or of whose hande haue I receaued any brybe, to blynde myne eyes therwyth? & I wyll restore it you agayne.

¹³ Nowe therfore, beholde, the kinge whom ye haue chosen, and whom ye haue desyred: lo, the Lord hath set a kynge ouer you.

¹⁸ And so, Samuel called vnto the Lorde, and the Lorde sent thunder and rayne the same daye. And all the people feared the Lorde and Samuel exceadyngly.

²⁸ And Samuel sayde vnto hym: the Lorde hath rent the kyngdome of Israel from the this daye, & hath geuen it to a neyghboure of thyne, that is better then thou.

¹ The Lorde sayde vnto Samuel: Howe longe wylt thou mourne for Saul, seynge I haue cast hym awaye from raygnynge ouer Israel? Fyll thyne horne with oyntment, and come, that I maye sende the to Isai the Bethlehemite, for I haue prouided me a kynge amonge hys sonnes.

¹³ He shall bylde an house for my name, & I wyll stablyshe the seate of his kyngdome for euer.

¹⁴ God thundred from heuen, and he that is most hye, doth put out his voyce.

⁹ Is thy power then lyke the power of God? Maketh thy voyce soch a sounde as hys doth?

² The kynges of the erth stande vp, and the rulers take councell together agaynst the Lorde, and agaynst hys anoynted.

⁶ Yet haue I set my kynge vpon my holy hyll of Syon.

⁹ Thou shalt bruse them with a rodd of yron, and breake them in peces lyke a potters vessell.

¹³ The Lorde also thondred out of the heauen, & the hyest gaue his thondre, hayle stones, and coales of fyer. ¹⁴ He sent out his arowes and scattered them, he cast forth lyghtnynges, & destroyed them.

⁶ Nowe knowe I, that the Lorde helpeth hys anoynted, and wyll heare hym from hys holy heauen: euen with the wholsome strength of hys ryght hande.

¹ To the chaunter, a Psalme of Dauid. The kynge shall reioyce in thy strength, O Lorde, exceadynge glad shall he be of thy saluacion.

⁷ And why? because the kynge putteth hys trust in the Lorde, and in the mercy of the most hyest he shall not my searye. ⁸ All thyne enemies shall fele thy hand: thy ryght hand shall fynde out them that hate the. ⁹ Thou shalt make them lyke a fyrye ouen in tyme of thy wrath: the Lorde shall destroye them in hys displeasure, and the fyre shall consume them.

⁸ The Lorde is my strength & my shylde: my hert hath trusted in him, & I am helped: therfore my herte daunseth for ioye, and in my songe will I prayse him.

⁷ Thy seate (O God) endureth for euer: the scepter of thy kyngdome is a ryght scepter:

¹ A Psalme of Asaph. The Lorde euen the most myghtye God hath spoken, and called the world from the rysyng vp of the sonne vnto the goyng downe therof. ² Out of Syon hath God apeared in perfecte bewtye. ³ Oure God shall come, and shall not kepe sylence: there shall go before hym a consumynge fyre, and a myghtye tempest shalbe stered vp rounde aboute hym. ⁴ He shall call the heauen from aboue, and the earth, that he maye iudge hys people. ⁵ Gather my saynctes together vnto me, those that haue made a couenaunt with me, wyth sacrifyce. ⁶ And the heauens shall declare hys ryghteousnesse, for God is iudge hym selfe. Sela.

¹ To the chaunter, a Psalme and songe of Dauid. Let God aryse, and let his enemies be scattered: let them also that hate him, flye before him. ² Like as the smoke vanysheth, so shalt thou dryue them awaye: and lyke as waxe melteth at the fyre: so let the vngodly perysh at the presence of God.

⁹ For lo, thyne enemies, O Lord, lo, thyne ennemies shall perishe, and all the workers of wickednes shalbe destroyed. ¹⁰ But my horne shalbe exalted like the horne of an Unicorne, for I am anoynted with fresh oyle.

¹³ before the Lorde, for he commeth: for he commeth to iudge the earth: and with righteousnesse to iudge the worlde, and the people with his trueth.

⁹ Let the floudes clappe their handes, and let the hylles be ioyfull together. Before the Lord, for he is come to iudge the earth. Wyth ryghteousnes shall he iudge the worlde, & the people with equite.

¹⁴ He shall exalte the horne of hys people, all hys saynctes shall prayse hym, euen the chyldren of Israel, euen the people that serueth hym. Haleluiah.

⁹ Be glad then (O thou yonge man) in thy youth, and let thyne hert be mery in thy yong dayes, folowe the wayes of thyne awne herte, & the lust of thine eyes but be thou sure, that God shall brynge the into iudgement for all these thynges.

¹⁴ Let vs heare the conclusyon of all thynges: Feare God, and kepe hys commaundementes: For that toucheth all men.Ecc

¹ Beholde, a king shall gouerne after the rule of ryghtewesnesse, and the princes shall rule, accordyng to the balaunce of equitye.

²⁴ saying. Uerely, in the Lord is my ryghteousnes and strength. To him shal men come: but all they that thincke scorne of him, shalbe confounded.

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:

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.

¹⁸ And Iesus came, and spake vnto them, sayinge: All power is geuen vnto me in heauen, & in erth.

²⁷ Moreouer, those myne enemyes, (whych wolde not that I shuld raygne ouer them) brynge hyther, and slee them before me.

²¹ For lykewyse as the father rayseth vp the deed, and quyckeneth them, euen so the sonne quyckeneth whom he wyll ²² Nether iudgeth the father eny man: but hath commytted all iudgement vnto the sonne,

²⁷ For of a trueth, agaynst thy holy chylde Iesus (whom thou hast anoynted) both Herode and also Poncius Pylate, which the Gentyls and the people of Israel, gathered them selues together

³⁸ how God anoynted Iesus of Nazareth wt the holy ghost, and with power. Which Iesus went about doynge good, and healynge all that were oppressed of the deuyll, for God was with him.

¹⁰ But why doest thou then iudge thy brother? Other, why doest thou despise thy brother? We shalbe all brought before the iudgement seate of Christ. ¹¹ For it is written: as truely as I lyue sayth the Lorde: all knees shall bowe to me, and all tonges shall geue prayse to God. ¹² So shall euery one of vs geue accomptes of hym selfe to God.

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.

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: ¹³ and the see gaue vp her deed which were in her, and deeth and hell deliuered vp the deed, which were in them: & they were iudged euery man accordyng to his dedes. ¹⁴ And deeth and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the seconde deeth. ¹⁵ And whosoeuer was not founde wrytten in the boke of lyfe, was cast into the lake of fyre.

¹⁹ And they rose vp earlye, & worshipped before the lord, & then returned, & came to theyr house to Ramath. And whan Elkana knew Hanna his wyfe, the Lord remembred her:

²⁸ and therfore I haue geuen hym vnto the Lord, as long as he is mete for the lorde. And they worshipped the Lorde there.

¹⁸ But the child Samuel ministred before the Lorde, girded about wyth a lynen Ephod.

¹ And the chylde Samuel mynistred vnto the Lorde before Eli: & the worde of the Lorde was precious in those dayes, nether was there any open visyon.

¹⁵ Samuel laye tyll the mornynge, and opened the dores of the house of the Lorde. And Samuel feared to shewe Eli the visyon.

¹³ that certen men beynge the chyldren of Belial, are gone out from amonge you, and haue moued the enhabiters of their cytie, sayinge: let vs go and serue straunge Goddes, which ye haue not knowen.

¹⁰ And euen so all that generacyon were put vnto their fathers, and there arose another generacyon after them whych nether knewe the Lorde, nor yet the worckes whych he had done for Israel.

²² And as they were makynge their herttes merye, beholde, the men of the cytie which were wicked, set the house rounde aboute, and thrust at the dore, and spake to the man of the house, the olde man, sayinge: brynge forth the man that came into thyne house, that we maye knowe hym.

⁷ Samuell knewe not yet the Lord, nether was the worde of the Lord yet opened vnto hym.

²⁷ But the chyldren of Belial sayde: howe shall he saue vs? and they despised him, and brought him no presentes. And he helde is tonge.

¹⁷ Now therfore, take hede, and se what thou hast to do, for there is an occasion of euell geuen agaynst oure master and all his housholde, seyng: he is as a sonne of beliall vngracious to speake to.

¹⁰ and set two vnthriftes before him, to beare witnesse agaynst him, sayenge: thou dydest blaspheme God and the kyng. And then carye hym out, and stone hym to deeth.

¹³ & there came in two men (the children of Belial) and sate before him. And the two vnthriftie persones wytnessed agaynst Naboth, in the presence of the people, sayeng: Naboth dyd blaspheme God and the kyng, And they caried hym out of the cytie, and stoned hym wyth stones that he dyed.

⁸ The Prestes them selues sayde not: Where is the Lorde? They that had the lawe in theyr handes, knewe me not: The shepherdes offended agaynst me. The prophetes dyd seruyce vnto Baal, & folowed soch thynges as shall brynge them no profyt.

⁶ Thou syttest in the myddes of a dysceatfull people, which for very dissemblyng falshede, wyll not knowe me, sayeth the Lord.

¹⁶ Yee, when he helped the oppressed and poore to their right, then prospered he well. From whence came thys, but onely because he had me before hys eyes, sayeth the Lorde?

⁶ my people perish, because they haue no knowledg. Seinge then that thou hast refused vnderstanding, therfore wyll I refuse the also: so that thou shalt nomore be my preste. And for so moche as thou hast forgotten the lawe of thy God, I wyll also forget thy chyldren. ⁷ The more they increased in the multitude, the more they synned agaynst me, therfore wyll I change theyr honoure into shame. ⁸ They eate vp the synnes of my people, and corage them in theyr wickednesse. ⁹ Thus the prest is become lyke the people. Wherfore I wyll punish them for their wicked wayes, and rewarde them accordynge to their awne ymaginacyons.

¹ And now (O ye prestes) this commaundement toucheth you: ² yf ye wyll not heare it, ner regard it, to geue the glory vnto my name, sayeth the Lorde of hostes, I will sende a curse vpon you, & will curse youre blessynges: yee curse them wyll I yf ye do not take hede. ³ Beholde, I shall corrupte your sede, and cast donge in youre faces, euen the donge of youre solempne feastes and it shall cleue fast vpon you. ⁴ And ye shall knowe, that I haue sent thys commaundement vnto you: that my couenaunt which I made with Leui, might stande sayeth the Lorde of hoostes. ⁵ I made a couenaunt of lyfe & peace wyth him: this I gaue him, that he myght stande in awe of me: and so he dyd feare me, and had my name in reuerence. ⁶ The lawe of truthe was in his mouth, and there was no wickednesse founde in his lyppes. He walked with me in peace and equyte, and dyd turne many one awaye from their synnes. ⁷ For in the prestes lyppes shulde be sure knowledge, that men may seke the lawe at his mouth, for he is a messaunger of the Lorde of hostes. ⁸ But as for you, ye are gone clene out of the waye, and haue caused the multitude to be offended at the lawe: ye haue broken the couenaunt of Leui, sayeth the Lorde of hostes. ⁹ Therfore wyll I also make you to be despysed, and to be of no reputacyon amonge all the people: because ye haue not kepte my wayes, but haue bene parciall in the lawe.

⁵⁵ & yet ye haue not knowen hym: but I knowe him. And yf I saye, I knowe him not, I shalbe a lyar lyke vnto you. But I knowe him, and kepe his sayinge.

³ And such thinges will they do vnto you, because they haue not knowen the father, nether yet me.

³ This is lyfe eternal, that they might knowe the, the onely true God, & Iesus Christ whom thou hast sent.

²¹ because that when they knewe God, they glorifyed hym not as God, nether were thankfull but wexed full of vanities in theyr imaginacions, and theyr folysh hert was blynded.

²⁸ And as they regarded not to knowe God euen so God delyuered them vp vnto a lewde mynde, that they shulde do those thynges whych were not comly, ²⁹ beyng full of all vnryghteousnesse, fornicacyon, wyckednes, coueteousnes, malicyousnes, full of enuye morther, debate, disceyte, euyll condicyoned, whysperers, ³⁰ backbyters, haters of God, dysdaynfull, proude, boasters, bringers vp of euyll thynges, disobedyent to father and mother,

¹⁵ Or what concorde hath Christ with Beliall? Ether what parte hath he that beleueth, with an infidell?

²⁹ speake vnto the chyldren of Israel and saye: he that bryngeth hys peaceoffringe vnto the Lorde, let hym brynge hys gyfte vnto the Lorde of hys peaceoffrynge: ³⁰ let his awne handes brynge the offrynges of the Lorde: euen the fatt wyth the brest shall he brynge: that the brest maye be waued for a waue offringe before the Lorde. ³¹ And the Preast shall burne the fatt vpon the alter, and the brest shalbe Aarons & hys sonnes. ³² And the ryght shoulder shall ye geue vnto the Preaste, for an heueoffrynge, of youre peaceoffrynges. ³³ The same that offreth the bloude of the peaceoffringes and the fatt, amonge the sonnes of Aaron, shall haue the ryght shoulder for his parte, ³⁴ for the wauebrest and the heueshoulder haue I taken of the chyldren of Israel, euen of their peaceoffringes, and haue geuen it vnto Aaron & vnto hys sonnes: by a statute for euer of the chyldren of Israel.

²⁷ And thou shalt sanctifye the brest of the waueoffering: and the shoulder of the heueofferyng which is waued and heued vp of the ram of the consecracyon for Aaron and for his sonnes. ²⁸ And it shalbe Aarons and his sonnes by a statute for euer of the chyldren of Israel: for it is an heueoffering. Euen an heueofferyng of the chyldren of Israel, and of their peaceofferinges. Their heueofferinges is the Lordes.

³⁴ for the wauebrest and the heueshoulder haue I taken of the chyldren of Israel, euen of their peaceoffringes, and haue geuen it vnto Aaron & vnto hys sonnes: by a statute for euer of the chyldren of Israel.

²⁹ Wherfore treade ye downe my sacrifice and myne offeryng, which I commaunded to be made in the Tabernacle, & honorest thy chyldren aboue me, to make youre selues fatt of the first frutes of all the offerynges of Israel my people?

¹¹ they are shamelesse dogges, that be neuer satisfyed. The sheperdes also in lyke maner haue no vnderstandynge, but euery man turneth his awne waye, euery one after his awne couetousnes with all hys power.

¹⁰ Yee, what is he amonge you, that wyl do so moch as to shut the dores, or to kindle the fyre vpon myne aulter for naught? I haue no pleasure in you, sayeth the Lord of hostes: and as for the meatoffringe, I wyl not accepte it at youre hande.

¹³ & receaue the rewarde of vnryghtwesnes. They count it pleasure to lyue delyciously for a season. Spottes they are & fylthynes: which lyue at pleasure in their owne disceauable wayes, feastinge & scorninge you: ¹⁴ hauinge eyes full of aduoutrie, and the cannot cease from synne: begyling vnstable soules. Hertes they haue excercysed with robrie. They are cursed chyldren ¹⁵ which haue forsaken the ryght waye, and are gone astraye folowynge the waye of Balaam the sonne of Bosor, which loued the rewarde of vnryghtewesnes:

³ And he shall offre som what of the peaceofferynge to be a sacrifyce vnto the Lorde: euen the fatt that couereth the inwardes, and all the fatt that is aboute the inwardes: ⁴ and the two kydneys, & the fatt that is on them and vpon the loynes: and the abundaunce that is on the lyuer shall he take awaye wyth the kydneyes. ⁵ And Aarons sonnes shal burne them on the alter vpon the burntsacrifyce whyche is vpon the wodd that is on the fyre to be a burnt sacrifyce for a swete sauoure vnto the Lorde.

¹⁶ And the preaste shall burne them vpon the alter for the food of the sacrifyce:

¹⁸ For they that are suche, serue not the Lorde Iesus Christ, but their awne bellyes, & with swete and flatterynge wordes, deceaue the hertes of the innocentes.

¹⁹ whose ende is damnacion, whose God is theyr belly and glory to theyr shame, which are worldely mynded.

¹² These are spottes which of your kidnes feast together, wt out feare, lyuinge lawlesse, and after ther awne pleasure. Cloudes they are with out water, caryed about of windes, trees wt out frute at geatheringe time withered, twyse deed, & plucked vp by the rotes.

²³ speake vnto the chyldren of Israel and saye. Ye shall eate no maner fatt of oxen of shepe and of goates: ²⁴ neuerthelater the fatt of the beaste that dyeth alone, and the fatt of that whych is torne wyth wylde beastes, shall be occupied in any maner of vse, but ye shall in no wise eate of it. ²⁵ For whosoeuer eateth the fatt of the beaste of whych men vse to brynge an offrynge vnto the Lorde, that soule that eateth it, shall perysh from his people.

²⁵ And the chyldren of Dan sayde vnto hym: let not thy voyce be hearde amonge vs, lest angrye felowes runne vpon the, and thou loose thy lyfe with the lyues of all thyne housholde.

¹⁵ For the olde captaynes that were before me, had bene chargeable vnto the people, and had taken of them bread and wyne, and .xl. sycles of syluer: yee, and their seruauntes had oppressed the people. But so dyd not I, and that because of the feare of God.

¹ O wo vnto them, that Imagyn to do herme, and deuyse vngracyousnesse vpon theyr beddes, to perfourme it in the cleare daye: for ther power is agaynst God. ² When they couet to haue lande, they take it by vyolence, they robbe men of theyr houses. Thus they oppresse a man for his house & euery man for his herytage.

⁵ And as concernynge the prophetes that dysceaue my people, thus the Lorde sayeth agaynst them. When they haue eny thynge to byte vpon, then they preach that all shalbe well: but yf a man put not some thing in to theyr mouthes, they preach of warre agaynst hym.

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, ³ not as though ye were lordes ouer the parisshes: but that ye be an ensample to the flock

¹¹ The earth also was corrupte before God, & the same earthe was fylled wt crueltye.

⁹ For he was a myghtye hunter before the Lorde. Wherfore it is sayde: Euen as Nimrod the myghtie hunter before the Lorde.

¹³ But the men of Sodome were wicked, and exceadynge synners before the Lorde.

⁶ And he offered hys sonnes in fyre, and gaue hede vnto witchcraft and sorcery, and mayntened workers with spretes, and tellers of fortunes: and brought moche wyckednesse in the syght of the Lorde to angre hym.

⁴ Agaynst the onely haue I synned, and done this euell in thy syght: that thou myghtest be iustifyed in thy sayinge, & cleare when thou art iudged.

⁸ For Ierusalem is ouerthrowne & Iuda must fall to the grownde, because that both theyr wordes & councels are agaynst the Lorde, to prouoke the presence of hys magesty vnto anger.

¹³ Now haue ye brought it to this poynte agayne, that the aulter of the Lorde is couered with teares, wepynge and mournynge: so that I wyll nomore regard the meatofferynge, nether wyl I receaue or accepte eny thyng at your handes.

⁷ Wo vnto the worlde because of offences. Necessary it is that offences come: But wo vnto the man, by whom the offence commeth.

⁴ These are the garmentes which they shall make, a brestlap, Ephod, a tunycle, a strayte cote, a miter and a gyrdell. These holy garmentes shall they make for Aaron thy brother and his sonnes, that they maie minister vnto me.

⁷ and put vpon hym the albe, & gyrded him wt a girdle, & put vpon hym the tunycle, and put the Ephod theron, which he gyrded wyth the broderd gyrdell that was in the Ephod, and bounde it vnto hym therwyth.

¹¹ And Elkana went to Ramath to his house, & the ladd dyd mynistre vnto the lorde before Eli the preaste.

²⁸ And I chose thy father out of all the trybes of Israel to be my Preaste, for to offer vpon myne aultare, & to burne incense, and to weare an Ephod before me. And I gaue vnto the house of thy father all the burnt offrynges of the chyldren of Israell.

¹⁸ And the kyng sayde to Doeg: turne thou, and fall vpon the preastes. And Doeg the Edomite turned, and ranne vpon the preastes, and slue that same daye foure skore & fyue persones, that dyd weare a lynnen Ephod.

¹⁴ And Dauid daunsed before the Lorde withall his myght, and was gyrded with a lynnen Ephod.

²⁷ And Dauid had on hym a lynnen garment, lyke as had also all the Leuites that bare the Arcke, and so had the syngers, and Chenania the ruler of the songe, with the syngers. And Dauid had vpon hym an Ephod of lynen.

¹⁴ Thre feastes thou shalt holde vnto me in a yere.

³ And the sayd man went vp out of his citye euery feastfull daye, to praye & to offer vnto the Lord of hostes in Silo, where were the two sonnes of Eli (Hophni & Phinehes) the lordes prestes.

²¹ And Elkana & all his house went vp to offer vnto the Lord, the offerynge due for the feast, & also his vowe:

¹⁹ & blessed hym sayinge: Blessed be Abram vnto the hyghe God possessor of heauen and erth.

²⁷ And he went vnto hym and kyssed hym. And he smelled the sauoure of hys rayment, and blessed hym, and sayde, See, the smelle of my sonne is as the smell of a felde whych the Lorde had blessed. ²⁸ God geue the of the dewe of heauen, and of the fatnesse of the erth, and plentye of corne and wyne. ²⁹ People be thy seruauntes, and nacyons bowe vnto the. Be Lorde ouer thy brethren, and thy mothers chyldren stowpe vnto the. Curssed be he that cursseth the, and blessed be he that blesseth the.

²³ speake vnto Aaron and his sonnes sayinge: of thys wyse ye shall blesse the chyldren of Israel, and saye vnto them. ²⁴ The Lorde blesse the, and kepe the. ²⁵ The Lorde make hys face shyne vpon the, and be mercyfull vnto the. ²⁶ The Lorde lyfte vp countenaunce vpon the, and geue the peace. ²⁷ And they shall put my name vpon the chyldren of Israel, and I wyll blesse them.

¹² The Lord quyte thy worcke, and a full rewarde be geuen the of the Lorde God of Israell, vnder whose wynges thou art come to abyde.

¹¹ And all the people that were in the gate, and the elders sayde: we are wytnesses: the Lord make the woman that is come into thyne house, lyke Rahel and Lea, which twayne dyd builde the house of Israell: do thou also valeauntly in Ephrata, and be famouse in Bethlehem.

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.

²⁷ For this ladde I prayed, and the Lorde hath geuen me my desire, whych I asked of him: ²⁸ and therfore I haue geuen hym vnto the Lord, as long as he is mete for the lorde. And they worshipped the Lorde there.

³⁴ And Simeon blessed them, and sayde vnto Mary his mother: beholde, this chyld is sett to be the fall and vprising agayne of many in Israel, & for a sygne which is spoken agaynst.

¹ The Lorde visyted Sara as he had sayde and dyd vnto her accordynge as he had promysed.

²⁴ And the wyfe bare a sonne, and called his name Samson. And the ladd grewe, and the Lorde blessed hym.

¹⁹ And they rose vp earlye, & worshipped before the lord, & then returned, & came to theyr house to Ramath. And whan Elkana knew Hanna his wyfe, the Lord remembred her: ²⁰ for in processe of tyme it came to passe, that she conceaued, & bare a sonne, & called his name Samuel (sayeng:) because I haue asked him of the Lord.

²⁶ The chylde Samuel profyted and grew, and was in fauoure both with the lorde, and also with men.

¹⁹ And Samuel grewe, & the Lorde was wyth him, & left none of hys wordes vnperformed.

⁶⁸ Praysed be the Lord God of Israel, for he hath visited and redemed his people:

⁸⁰ And the child grewe and wexed strong in sprete, and was in wildernes, tyll the daye came, when he shulde shewe him selfe vnto the Israelites.

⁴⁰ And the chylde grewe, and wexed stronge in sprete, & was fylled with wysdome, & the grace of God was vpon him.

⁵² And Iesus prospered in wysdome & age, and in fauoure, with God & men.

⁸ And he made the lauer of brasse, and the fote of it also of brasse in the syghte of them that dyd watch at the dore of the tabernacle of witnesse.

¹³ And the Preastes made a lawe for the people, that whensoeuer any man offered any offerynge, the Preastes ladd came, while the fleshe was in sething, & a fleshoke wyth thre tethe in his hand, ¹⁴ and thrust it into the panne: ketle, caldren, or potte. And all that the fleshe hoke brought vp, that the Preaste toke awaye. And so they did vnto all the Israelites, that came thyther to Silo. ¹⁵ Yee & therto, before they burnt the fatte, the Preastes ladd came and sayd to the man that offered: geue flesh that I maye dresse it for the Preaste, for he wyll not haue sodden fleshe of the, but rawe. ¹⁶ And yf any man sayde vnto hym: let them burne the fatt according to the daye, & then take as moche as thine herte desyreth. The ladd wold answere him, yee, thou shalt geue it me now: and yf thou wylt not, I wyll take it with violence. ¹⁷ And the synne of the youngmen was very great before the Lorde. For men abhorred the offeryng of the Lorde.

¹ When Samuel was olde, he made his sonnes iudges ouer Israel.

⁹ For when ye haue stollen, murthured, commytted aduoutry, & periury. When ye haue offred vnto Baal, folowyng straunge & vnknowne goddes shall ye be vnpunyshed? ¹⁰ Yet then come ye, & stande before me in this house, (which hath my name geuen vnto it) & saye. Tush, we are absolued quite, thoughe we haue done all these abhominacyons.

²⁶ Thy prestes breake my lawe, and defyle my Sanctuary. They put no difference betwene the holye & vnholye, nether discerne betwene the cleane & vncleane: they turne their eyes fro my sabbathes, & I am vnhalowed amonge them.

⁹ Thus the prest is become lyke the people. Wherfore I wyll punish them for their wicked wayes, and rewarde them accordynge to their awne ymaginacyons. ¹⁰ They shall eate, & not haue ynough. They haue vsed whordome, therfore shall they not prospere: and why? they haue forsaken the Lorde and not regarded hym. ¹¹ Whordome, wyne & dronckenesse taketh the herte awaye.

⁶ And his father wolde not displease him at anye tyme, nor sayd so moch to him as, why doest thou so? And he was a goodlye man, & his mother bare him next after Absalom.

⁹ The chaungynge of theyr countenaunce bewrayeth them, yee, they declare theyr awne synnes, them selues, as the Sodomites, & hyde them not. Wo be vnto theyr soules for they haue retourned euyll vnto them selues.

³ This is the cause, that the rayne & eueninge dewe hath ceased. Thou hast gotten the an whores forehead, and wilt not be ashamed.

¹² Fye for shame, how abhominable thynges do they? and yet they be not ashamed, yee, they knowe of no shame. Wherfore, in the tyme of theyr visytacion, they shall fall amonge the deed bodyes, & be ouerthrowne sayeth the Lorde.

⁴ and he fell to the earth and hearde a voyce, sayinge to him: Saul Saul, why persecutest thou me?

¹⁵ and sayinge: syrs why do ye this? We are mortall men like vnto you, and preache vnto you, that ye shulde turne from these vanyties vnto the lyuinge God, which made heauen and erth and the see and all thynges that are ther in:

²¹ And Moses sayde vnto Aaron: what dyd thys people vnto the, that thou hast brought so greate a synne vpon them?

¹⁷ And the synne of the youngmen was very great before the Lorde. For men abhorred the offeryng of the Lorde.

²² Eli was very olde, & herde all that his sonnes dyd vnto all Israel, and how they laye with the wemen that wayted at the dore of the Tabernacle of wytnesse,

¹⁸ He sayde vnto him: I am a prophet also as well as thou, and an Angell spake vnto me in the worde of the Lorde, sayenge: brynge him agayne with the into thyne house, that he maye eate bread and dryncke water. And he lyed vnto hym. ¹⁹ And so he went agayne with hym, and dyd eate bread in hys house and drancke water, ²⁰ And it fortuned, that as they sate at the table, the worde of the Lorde came vnto the prophete, that brought him agayne. ²¹ And he cryed vnto the man of God that came from Iuda, sayenge: thus sayth the Lord because thou hast disobeyed the mouth of the Lorde, and hast not kept the commaundement which the Lorde thy God commaunded the,

³⁰ because of the synnes of Ieroboam wherwyth he synned and made Israel synne, whan he wyth hys prouocacyon angred the Lorde God of Israel.

³¹ But Iehu cared not for this, to walke in the lawe of the Lord God of Israel with all his hert: for he departed not from the sinnes of Ieroboam, which made Israel to synne.

⁸ But as for you, ye are gone clene out of the waye, and haue caused the multitude to be offended at the lawe: ye haue broken the couenaunt of Leui, sayeth the Lorde of hostes.

³ Wherfore brethren, loke ye out amonge you seuen men of honeste report, and full of the holy ghost and wisdom, to whom we maye committe this busynes.

⁸ be honoure and dishonoure: be euyll reporte & good reporte: as desceauers, and yet true,

⁷ He must also haue a good reporte of them whych are without, lest he fall into rebuke, and snare of the euyll speaker.

¹⁸ For when they haue spoken the greate swelling wordes of vanytie, they entyse thorow lustes in the volupteousnes of the flesh, them that were cleane escaped: euen them that now lyue in erroure:

¹² Demetrius hath good reporte of all men & of the trueth it selfe. yee, and we oure selues also beare recorde, & ye knowe, that oure recorde is true.

²⁰ Notwith standynge I haue a feaw thynges agaynst the, because thou sufferest that woman Iesabell, which called her selfe a Prophetise, to teache & to deceaue my seruauntes, to make them commyt fornycacyon, & to eate meates offered vp vnto ydoles.

³⁰ But the soule that doeth ought presumptuouslye, whyther he be an Israelite or a straunger, the same blasphemeth the Lorde. And that soule shalbe roted out from among his people,

¹⁷ Se that ye knowe no faces in Iudgement: but heare the small as well as the greate, and be afrayed of no man, for the iudgement is Gods. And the cause that is to harde for you, brynge vnto me, and I will heare it.

³⁰ But Sehon the kynge of Hesbon wolde not let vs passe by him, for the Lord thy God hardened his sprete, & made his herte tough, because he wolde delyuer him into thy hande, as it is come to passe thys daye.

⁸ If there ryse a matter to harde for the in iudgement betwene bloud and bloud, betwene plee and plee, betwene plage and plage, and the matters come to stryfe wythin thy gates, Then shalt thou aryse, and get the vp vnto the place which the Lord thy God hath chosen, ⁹ and come vnto the preastes the Leuites, and vnto the iudge that shalbe in those dayes, and aske and they shall shewe the the sentence of iudgement. ¹⁰ And thou must do accordynge to that, whych they of that place (which the Lorde had chosen) shewe the and thou shalt obserue to do, accordynge to all that they enfourme the. ¹¹ Accordynge to the sentence of the lawe which they teache the, & accordinge to the iudgement which they tell the, shalt thou do, and bowe not from that which they shewe the, nether to the right hande nor to the lefte. ¹² And that man that will do presumptuously, and wyll not herken vnto the preast (that standeth there before the Lorde thy God to mynistre) or vnto the iudge, that man shall dye: and thou shalt put awaye euell from Israel.

¹ If there be stryfe betwene men, they shall come vnto the lawe, and let the iudges geue sentence betwene them, and iustifye the ryghteous, & condemne the vngodly. ² And yf any man be vngodly, and worthy of strypes, then let the iudge cause to take hym doune, and to beate hym before hys face accordynge to hys trespace vnto a certayne nombr ³ .xl. strypes he shall geue hym and not passe: lest yf he shulde exceade and beate hym aboue that with many strypes, thy brother shulde appere vngoodly before thyne eyes.

²⁰ for it came of the Lorde, wich dyd harden theyr hartes, that they shulde come agaynst Israell in battell: & that they shulde destroye them vtterlye, and shewe them no mercy, but to bryng them to naught, As the Lord commaunded Moses.

¹⁴ And therfore, I haue sworne vnto the house of Eli, that the wyckednesse of Elies house, shall not be purged wt sacrifyce nor offering for euer.

¹⁶ And it chaunced, that as the prophete talked with hym the kynge sayde vnto hym: haue men made the of the kynges councell? cease, why wylt thou be beaton? And the prophete ceased and sayde: I am sure that God is mynded to destroye the, because thou hast done this, and agreest not vnto my councell.

¹⁶ For thou desyrest no sacrifyce, els wolde I geue it the: but thou delytest not in burntofferynge.

¹⁰ He that forsaketh the ryght strete, shalbe sore punyshed: and who so hateth correccyon, shall dye.

³⁹ Therfore could they not beleue, because that Esaias saith agayne: ⁴⁰ he hath blynded their eyes, and hardened their hert, that they shuld not se with their eyes, & lest they shuld vnderstand with their hert, and shuld be conuerted, and I shulde heale them.

⁵ For ther is one God, and one mediator betwene God and man, euen the man Christ Iesus,

²⁵ Wherfore, he is able also euer to saue them to the vttemost, that come vnto God by him, seynge he euer lyueth to make intercession for vs.

²⁶ For yf we synne wyllfully after that we haue receaued the knowledge of the trueth, ther remayneth nomore sacryfyce for synnes,

²¹ And the lorde visited Hanna, so that she conceaued & bare thre sonnes & two daughters. And the chylde Samuel grewe before the lorde.

³ Let mercy and faythfulnes neuer go from the: bynde them about thy necke, and wryte them in the tables of thyne herte.

⁴⁷ praysinge God, and had fauour with all the people. And the Lorde added to the congregacion dayly, soch as shulde be saued.

¹⁸ For he that in these thinges serueth Chryst, pleaseth God, and is commended of men.

¹⁴ And the Lorde was angrye with Moses, & sayde: do not I knowe Aaron thy brother the leuyte, that he can speake? For lo, he commeth furth to mete the, & when he seyth the, he wylbe glad in his herte. ¹⁵ Therfore thou shalt speake vnto hym, and put these wordes in hys mouth, and I wylbe with thy mouth and wyth hys mouth, and wyll teache you what ye ought to do. ¹⁶ And he shalbe thy spokesman vnto the people: he also shall be thy mouth & thou shalt be hys God:

²⁷ Then sayde the Lorde vnto Aaron: go mete Moses in the wildernesse. And he went and met hym in the mount of God, and kyssed him.

¹ And the Lord spake vnto Moses and Aaron in the lande of Egipt, sayinge:

⁴³ And the Lorde sayde vnto Moses and Aaron: This is the lawe of passeouer: there shall no straunger eate therof.

¹ Thys is the blessynge wherwyth Moses the man of God blessed the chyldren of Israell before hys death,

⁸ the Lord sent vnto them a prophet, which sayd vnto them: Thus sayth the lord god of Israel: I fette you from Egypt & brought you oute of the house of bondage,

⁶ Then the wyfe came, & tolde her husband sayenge: a man of God came vnto me, & the fassion of him was lyke the fassion of an Angell of God, excedyng fearfull. But I asked hym not whence he was, nether tolde he me hys name, but sayd vnto me:

⁴ And he went thorow mount Ephraim, & thorowe the lande of Salisa: but they founde them not. Then they went thorowe the lande of Salim, and there they were not. When they went also thorowe the lande of Iemini, they founde them not.

¹ And beholde, there came a man of God out of Iuda (by the worde of the Lord) vnto Bethel, & Ieroboam stode by the aulter to put incense.

¹¹ But thou man of God, flye soch thynges. Folowe ryghtewesnes, godlynes, fayth, loue, pacience, meaknes.

²¹ For the scripture came neuer by the wyll of man: but holy men of God spake, as they were moued by the holy goost.

¹ And take thou vnto the Aaaron thy brother and hys sonnes wt him, from amonge the chyldren of Israel, that they maye minister vnto me. Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar, Aarons sonnes.

⁶ They shall make the Ephod of gold, yelow sylke, purple, skarlet and whyte twyned silke with broderd worke. ⁷ The two sydes shal come together, and be closed vp in the two edges therof. ⁸ And the gyrdell of the Ephod shalbe of the same workmanship, and of the same stuffe, euen of golde, yelow sylke, purple, skarlet and whyte twyned sylke. ⁹ And thou shalt take two onix stones, and graue in them the names of the chyldren of Israel: ¹⁰ syxe names of them in the one stone, and the other syxe in the other stone: accordynge to their byrth. ¹¹ After the work of a stonegrauer, and of him that graueth signettes shalt thou graue the two stones with the names of the children of Israel, and shalt make them to be set in golde. ¹² And thou shalt put the two stones vpon the two shoulders of the Ephod, that they maye be stones of remembraunce vnto the chyldren of Israel. And Aaron shall beare their names before the Lorde vpon hys two shoulders for a remembraunce. ¹³ And thou shalt make hokes of golde ¹⁴ & two cheynes of fyne golde: link worke and wrethed, and fasten the wrethed cheynes to the hokes. ¹⁵ And thou shalt make the brestlap of iudgement with broderd worke, euen after the worke of the Ephod shalt thou make it: namely of golde, yelow sylke, purple, skarlet, and whyte twyned silke, shalt thou make it. ¹⁶ Foure square it shalbe and double, an hande brede longe, and an handbrede broade. ¹⁷ And thou shalt fill it with foure rowes of stones. In the first rowe shalbe a Sardions, a Topas, and Smaragdus: ¹⁸ in the second rowe, a Ruby, Saphir and Diamond: ¹⁹ in the thyrde Lygurios, an Achat, & Amatist: ²⁰ in the fourth a Turcas, Onix and Iaspis. And they shall be set in golde in their inclosers. ²¹ And the stones shalbe grauen as sygnettes be grauen wt the names of the children of Israel, euen with twelue names, euery one with his name accordyng to the twelue tribes. ²² And thou shalt make vpon the brestlapp two fastenyng cheynes of pure golde & wrethen worke. ²³ And thou shalt make lykewyse vpon the brestlap two rynges of golde: and put them on the edges of the brestlap, ²⁴ and put the two wrethen cheynes of golde in the two rynges which are in the edges of the brest lappe. ²⁵ And the other two endes of the two cheynes, thou shalt fasten in two close hokes, and put them vpon the shulders of the Ephod on the foresyde of it. ²⁶ And thou shalt yet make two rynges of golde, which thou mayest put in the two edges of the brestlappe, euen in the borders therof, towarde the insyde of the Ephod oueragenst it. ²⁷ And yet two other ringes of golde thou shalt make: and put them on the two sydes of the Ephod, beneth oueragaynst the brestlap, alowe where the sydes are ioyned together vpon the brodered gyrdell of the Ephod. ²⁸ And they shall bynde the brestlappe by hys rynges vnto the ringes of the Ephod with a lace of yelow silke, that it maye lye closse aboue the broderd gyrdell of the Ephod, and that the brestlap be not losed from the Ephod. ²⁹ And Aaron shall beare the names of the chyldren of Israel in the brestlapp of iudgement vpon his hert, when he goeth into the holy place for a remembraunce before the Lorde allwaye. ³⁰ And thou shalte put in the brestlappe of iudgement Urim and Thumin: and they shalbe euen upon Aarons hert, when he goeth in before the Lord: and Aaron shall beare the iudgement of the children of Israel vpon his herte before the Lorde allwaye.

⁴ And brynge Aaron and his sonnes vnto the doore of the tabernacle of wytnesse, and washe them with water, ⁵ and take the garmentes, and put vpon Aaron: the strayte cote the tunycle of the Ephod, & the Ephod, and the brestlappe: and gyrd them to hym with the brodered gyrdell which is in the Ephod. ⁶ And put the mytre vpon his heed: and put the holy crowne vpon the mytre. ⁷ Then shalt thou take the anoynting oyle, and powre it vpon his heed, and anoynte hym. ⁸ And bring hys sonnes, ⁹ and put albes vpon them, and gyrd them with gyrdels, aswell Aaron, as his sonnes. And put the myters on them, and the preastes office shalbe theirs for a perpetuall lawe. And thou shalt fyll the handes of Aaron and of his sonnes: ¹⁰ and bryng the calfe before the tabernacle of witnes. And Aaron and his sonnes shall put their handes vpon the heed of the calfe, ¹¹ and thou shalt kyll hym before the Lorde, by the dore of the tabernacle of witnes. ¹² And take of the bloud of the calfe and put it vpon the hornes of the aulter with thy fynger: and powre all the bloude besyde the botome of the aulter, ¹³ and take all the fat that couereth the inwardes, and the kall that is on the lyuer, and the two kidneys and the fat that is vpon them: and burne them vpon the aulter. ¹⁴ But the flesh of the calfe and hys skynne, & his donge shalt thou burne wt fyer without the hoost. It is a synofferyng. ¹⁵ Thou shalt also take one ram, and Aaron and hys sonnes shalt put their handes vpon the head of the ram, ¹⁶ & when thou hast slayne the ramme, thou shalt take hys bloude, and sprynkle it rounde about vpon the aulter, ¹⁷ & cut the ram in peces, and washe the inwardes of him and his legges, and put them vnto the peces and vnto his heed: ¹⁸ and then burne the hole ram vpon the aulter for a burntoffering vnto the Lorde, & for a swete sauour and a sacrifyce vnto the Lorde. ¹⁹ And take the other ram, and Aaron & hys sonnes shall put their handes vpon hys heed. ²⁰ Then shalt thou kyll hym, and take of hys bloude, and put it vpon the typpe of the ryght eare of Aaron and of hys sonnes, and vpon the thombe of their ryght handes, and vpon the great to of their ryght fote, & sprynkle the bloude vpon the aulter rounde about. ²¹ And thou shalt take of the bloude that is vpon the aulter, and of the anoyntyng oyle, and sprynkell it vpon Aaron and hys vestimentes, and vpon his sonnes and vpon their garmentes wt hym. And he shalbe halowed & his clothes and his sonnes and theyr clothes with hym. ²² And thou shalt take the fatt of the ram and his rompe, and the fat that couereth the inwardes, and the kall of the lyuer, and the two kydneys and the fat that is vpon them and the ryghte shoulder: for that ram is a full offerynge: ²³ and a symnell of bread, and a cake of oyle bread, and a wafer out of the baskette of swete breade that is before the Lorde, ²⁴ and putt all vpon handes of Aaron, and on the handes of hys sonnes: and waue them for a waueofferynge before the Lorde. ²⁵ And agayne, thou shalt take it from of their handes, and burne it vpon the aulter for a burntofferinge, to be a sauoure of swetnes before the Lorde. For it is a sacrifice vnto the Lorde. ²⁶ And thou shalt take the brest of the ram of Aarons consecracyon, and waue it for a waueoffering before the Lorde: and it shalbe thy parte. ²⁷ And thou shalt sanctifye the brest of the waueoffering: and the shoulder of the heueofferyng which is waued and heued vp of the ram of the consecracyon for Aaron and for his sonnes. ²⁸ And it shalbe Aarons and his sonnes by a statute for euer of the chyldren of Israel: for it is an heueoffering. Euen an heueofferyng of the chyldren of Israel, and of their peaceofferinges. Their heueofferinges is the Lordes. ²⁹ And the holy garmentes of Aaron shalbe his sonnes after him, to be anoynted therin, and to fyll their handes therin. ³⁰ And that sonne that is preast in his stead after him, shall put them on seuen dayes: when he commeth into the tabernacle of witnes to minyster in the holy place. ³¹ And thou shalt take the ram of the consecracyon, and seth his flesh in an holy place. ³² And Aaron and his sonnes shall eate the flesh of the ram, and the bread that is in the basket: euen by the dore of the tabernacle of witnes: and they shall eate them, ³³ because the atonement was made therwith, to fyll theyr handes, & to consecrate them: but a straunger shal not eate therof, because they are holy. ³⁴ And yf ought of the flesh of the consecracyon or of the bread remayne vnto the mornynge, thou shalt burne it with fyer, and it shall not be eaten, because it is holy. ³⁵ Therfore shalt thou do vnto Aaron and his sonnes, euen so, according to all thinges which I haue commaunded the: seuen dayes shalte thou fyll their handes, ³⁶ and offer euery daye a calfe for a synne offerynge, for to reconcyle withall: that thou mayest clense the aultare when thou reconcylest vpon it, and thou shalt anoynte it, to sanctify it. ³⁷ Seuen dayes thou shalt reconcyle vpon the aulter, and sanctifye it, and it shalbe as an aulter moost holye. Euery one that toucheth the aulter, lett. hym be holy.

¹ And of the yelowe sylke, purple & scarlet, they made the vestimentes of ministracyon to do seruice in the holy place, and made the holy garmentes for Aaron, as the Lorde commaunded Moses. ² And he made the Ephod of golde, yelow sylke, purple, scarlet & whyte twyned sylke. ³ And they dyd beate the gold into thynne plates, and cutte it into wyers: to worke it in the yelowe sylke, purple, scarlet, and in the fyne whyte, with broderd worke. ⁴ And they made two sydes for it, to cloose them vp by the two edges. ⁵ And the brodrynge of the gyrdell that was vpon it, was of the same stuffe, and after the same worcke: of golde, yelowe sylk, purple, scarlet, and twyned whyte sylke, as the Lorde comaunded Moses. ⁶ And they wrought Onix stones cloosed in ouches of golde, and graued as sygnettes are grauen with the names of the chyldren of Israel, ⁷ and put them on the shoulders of the Ephod, that they shuld be stones for a remembraunce of the chyldren of Israel, as the Lord commaunded Moses.

³ And the remnaunt of the meateofferynge shalbe Aarons and his sonnes, a thynge most holy of the sacrifyces of the Lorde:

¹⁰ And that whyche is lefte of the meatofferynge shall be Aarons and hys sonnes, It is a thynge most holy of the offerynges of the Lorde.

¹⁶ And of the rest therof, shall Aaron and hys sonnes eate: vnleuened shall it be eaten in the holy place: euen in the courte of the tabernacle of witnesse they shall eate it.

⁷ As the synne offrynge is, so is the trespaceoffringe, one lawe serueth for both, and it shall be the Preastes that reconcyleth ther wt. ⁸ And the Preaste that offereth any mans burntoffringe, shall haue the skynne of the burntoffringe which he hath offred.

³² And the ryght shoulder shall ye geue vnto the Preaste, for an heueoffrynge, of youre peaceoffrynges.

³⁴ for the wauebrest and the heueshoulder haue I taken of the chyldren of Israel, euen of their peaceoffringes, and haue geuen it vnto Aaron & vnto hys sonnes: by a statute for euer of the chyldren of Israel. ³⁵ Thys is the anoyntynge of Aaron and the anoyntynge of his sonnes in the sacrifices of the Lorde, in the daye when he offered them to be Preastes vnto the Lorde.

⁷ and put vpon hym the albe, & gyrded him wt a girdle, & put vpon hym the tunycle, and put the Ephod theron, which he gyrded wyth the broderd gyrdell that was in the Ephod, and bounde it vnto hym therwyth. ⁸ And he put the brestlappe theron, and put in the brestlappe Urim & thumim.

¹⁴ And the wauebrest and heueshoulder shall ye eate in a cleane place: thou and thy sonnes and thy daughters with the. For they be thy dutye and thy sonnes dutye geuen out of the peaceoffrynges of the chyldren of Israel. ¹⁵ The heueshoulder and the wauebrest shall they brynge in wyth the sacryfyces of the fatt, to waue it before the Lorde, and it shalbe thyne and thy sonnes wyth the: by a lawe for euer, as the Lorde hath commaunded.

⁹ And euery heue offeringe that is made of the holy thynges of the chyldren of Israel whych they brynge vnto the Preaste, shall be hys: ¹⁰ and euery mans halowed thinges shalbe his: and whatsoeuer any man geueth the Preaste, it shalbe hys.

⁵ and spake vnto Corah and vnto all his company, saying: to morowe the Lorde will shewe who are his, who is holy, & who ought to approch nye vnto him, and whom he hath chosen to come to him.

⁵ And the mans rod whom I chose, shall blossome. And I wyll make cease from me the grudgynges of the chyldren of Israel, whereby they grudge agaynst you. ⁶ And Moses spake vnto the chyldren of Israel, and all the prynces gaue hym euery prince ouer their fathers houses, a rod, euen twelue roddes: and the rodd of Aaron was among the roddes. ⁷ And Moses put the roddes before the Lorde in the tabernacle of witnes. ⁸ And on the morowe, Moses went into the tabernacle of witnes: and beholde, the rodd of Aaron for the house of Leui was budded, and bare blossomes and almondes.

¹ And the Lorde sayde vnto Aaron Thou and thy sonnes and thy fathers house with the shall beare the faute of that which is done amysse in the holy place. And thou and thy sonnes wt the shall beare the faute of that which is done amysse in your presthode. ² And thy brethren of the trybe of Leui and of thy fathers housholde thou shalt take vnto the, that they maye be ioyned vnto the and minystre vnto the: euen vnto the and thy sonnes with the before the tabernacle of witnes. ³ They shall wayte vpon the and vpon all the tabernacle: onely let them not come nye the vesselles of the sanctuary and the alter, that they and ye also dye not. ⁴ And they shalbe by the, and wayte on the tabernacle of witnes for all the seruyce of the tabernacle, and let no straunger come nye vnto you. ⁵ Therfore shall ye kepe the holy place and the aulter, that ther fall no more wrath vpon the chyldren of Israel: ⁶ beholde, I haue taken your brethren the Leuites from amonge the the childreen of Israel, which as a gyft of yours are geuen vnto the Lorde, to do the seruyce of the tabernacle of witnes. ⁷ Therfore shalt thou and thy sonnes with the take hede vnto your preastes offyce for all thynges that perteyne vnto the aulter, and for all that are within the vayle. And se that ye serue: for I haue geuen your prestes office vnto you as a gyft: and therfore the straunger that commeth nye, must be slayne. ⁸ And the Lorde spake vnto Aaron: behold, I haue geuen the the kepynge of myne heue offerynges of all the halowed thynges of the chyldren of Israel. Euen vnto the, I haue geuen them for the anoyntinge, and to thy sonnes, for a dutye for euer.

¹⁹ All the holy heueofferynges whych the chyldren of Israel offre vnto the Lorde, haue I geuen the and thy sonnes and thy daughters wyth the, to be a dutye foreuer: let it be a salted couenaunte for euer, before the Lorde, both vnto the & to thy seed with the.

¹ The Preastes the, Leuites, and all the trybe of Leuy must haue no parte nor enheritaunce wyth Israel: but shall eate the offringes of the Lorde, and hys enheritaunce: ² Therfore shall they haue no enheritaunce amonge their brethren: But the Lorde, he is their enheritaunce, as he hath sayde vnto them. ³ And this is the Preastes dutie of the people, and of them that offer, whether it be oxe or shepe: They must geue vnto the Preaste, the shoulder, and the two chekes, and the maw ⁴ the fyrst frutes also of thy corne, wyne and oyle, and the fyrst of the woll of thy shepe shalt thou geue hym: ⁵ For the Lorde thy God hath chosen hym out of all thy trybes, to stande and to ministre in the name of the Lorde: he and hys sonnes for euer. ⁶ If a Leuite come out of any of thy cyties of all Israel, wher he is a soiourner, and come wythall the lust of hys herte vnto the place whych the Lorde hath chosen: ⁷ he shall mynistre in the name of the Lorde hys God, as hys other brethren the Leuites do, whych remayne there before the Lorde. ⁸ And they shall haue lyke porcyons to eate, besyde that whych commeth to hym of the patrimonye of hys elders.

⁷ And Nathan sayth to Dauid: thou art the man. Thus sayth the Lorde God of Israel, I anoynted the kynge ouer Israel, and rydde the out of the hande of Saul,

¹⁵ Ye shall doo no vnryghteousnes in iudgement. Thou shalt not fauoure the poore nor honoure the myghtye, but in ryghteousnes shalt thou iudge thy neyghboure.

⁵ but ye shall seke the place, whych the Lorde youre God shall haue chosen out of all youre trybes, to put hys name there, & there to dwell. ⁶ And thyther thou shalt come, and thyther ye shall brynge youre burnt sacrifyces, your offrynges, youre tythes, and heue offrynges of youre hande, youre vowes, your frewill offerynges and the fyrst gendred of youre oxen and of your shepe.

¹⁵ But he that shulde haue bene vpryght, whan he waxed fatt, spurned with his hele. Thou art well fedd, thou art growen thick: thou art euen laden with fatnesse. And he forsoke God his maker, & regarded not the God of his saluacyon.

⁹ He that hath sayde vnto his father and to his mother: I haue not sene him, And he that knewe not his brethren, ner knewe his awne chyldren, those are they that haue obserued thy worde, and shall kepe thy couenaunt.

¹ And the whole congregacion of the children of Israel came together at Silo, and set vp the tabernacle of witnesse there, and the lande was in subieccion before them.

¹¹ they are shamelesse dogges, that be neuer satisfyed. The sheperdes also in lyke maner haue no vnderstandynge, but euery man turneth his awne waye, euery one after his awne couetousnes with all hys power. ¹² Come (saye they) I wyll fetch wyne, so shall we fyll oure selues, that we maye be dronken. And do to morowe, lyke as to daye, yee and moche more.

¹⁹ and dishonoure me to my people, for an handfull of barly, and for a pece of bread: whan ye kyll the soules of them, that dye not, and promes lyfe to them, that lyue not: Thus ye dissemble wt my people, that beleueth youre lyes.

² Thou sonne of man, prophecye agaynst the shepherdes of Israel, prophecy and speake vnto them. Thus sayeth the Lord God. Wo be vnto the shepherdes of Israell, that fede them selues. Shulde not the shepherdes fede the flockes?

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

¹² But ye haue vnhalowed it, in that ye saye, the aulter of the Lorde is not to be regarded, and the thyng that is set thervpon not worthy to be eaten. ¹³ Now saye ye: It is but laboure and trauayle, and thus haue ye thought scorne at it (sayeth the Lorde of hoostes) offrynge robbery, yee, the lame and the sycke. Ye haue brought me in a meatofferyng, shulde I accepte it of your hande, sayeth the Lorde?

³⁷ He that loueth father, or mother more then me, is not worthy of me. And he that loueth sonne or daughter more then me, is not worthy of me.

¹⁶ And they sent out vnto hym theyr discyples wyth Herodes seruauntes, sayinge: Master, we knowe that thou art true, & teachest the waye of God truely, nether carest thou for eny man, for thou regardest not the outward appearaunce of men.

²⁶ If a man come to me, and hate not hys father and mother, and wyfe and chyldren, and brethren, and systers, yee, and his awne lyfe also, he cannot be my disciple.

¹⁶ Wherfore, hence forth knowe we no man after the flesshe. In so moch though we haue knowen Christ after the flesshe, now yet hence forth knowe we him so nomoare.

¹⁷ But the wysdome that is from aboue, is first pure, then peasable, gentle, & easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good frutes, without iudging, without simulacion:

⁴³ And they shalbe vpon Aaron and his sonnes, when they come into the tabernacle of witnes, or when they come vnto the aultare to minister in holynesse, that they beare no sinne, and so dye. And it shalbe a lawe for euer vnto Aaron and his seed after him.

⁹ and put albes vpon them, and gyrd them with gyrdels, aswell Aaron, as his sonnes. And put the myters on them, and the preastes office shalbe theirs for a perpetuall lawe. And thou shalt fyll the handes of Aaron and of his sonnes:

²⁰ but euen a moneth longe, vntyll it come out at the nastrels of you: and make you to parbrake, because that ye haue cast the Lorde asyde which is amonge you: and haue wepte before hym, saying: why came we thus oute of Egipte?

¹¹ Phinehes the sonne of Eleazar the sonne of Aaron the preaste, hath tourned myne anger awaye from the chyldren of Israel, whyle he was gelous for my sake amonge them, that I had not consumed the chyldren of Israel in my gelousye. ¹² Wherfore saye: beholde, I geue vnto him my couenaunt of peace, ¹³ and he shall haue it, & his seed after him, euen the couenaunte of the preastes offyce for euer because he was gelous for his Goddes sake, and made an attonement for the chyldren of Israel.

³⁴ Defyle not therfore the lande which ye shall inhabyte, for I am in the myddes therof: euen I the Lord dwell among the chyldren of Israel.

¹⁰ And the trees sayde to the fygge tree: come thou, and be king ouer vs.

⁹ Wherfore then hast thou despised the commaundement of the Lorde, to do wyckednesse in hys syght? thou hast kylde Urias the Hethite with the swerde, and hast taken his wife to thy wyfe, & hast slayne hym with the swerde of the chyldren of Ammon. ¹⁰ Nowe therfore, the swerde shall neuer depart from thyne house, because thou hast despysed me, and taken the wyfe of Urias the Hethite, to be thy wife.

² And he went out to mete Asa, & sayde vnto him: heare me Asa, and all Iuda, Beniamin. The Lorde is with you, whyle ye be with hym, and when ye seke hym, he wyll be founde of you: and agayne, when ye forsake hym, he also wyll forsake you.

²⁰ The Lorde shall rewarde me after my righteous dealing: accordinge to the clennes of my handes shall he recompense me.

²³ Who so offreth me thanckes and prayse, he honoureth me: and to hym that ordreth hys conuersacyon ryght wyll I shewe the saluacyon of God.

¹⁴ Because he hath set hys loue vpon me, therfore shall I delyuer him: I shall set him vp, because he hath knowne my name.

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

¹³ Therfore thus hath the Lorde sayde: For somoche as this people when they be in trouble, do honour me with their mouth & wt their lippes: but their hert is far fro me, & the feare which they haue vnto me, proceadeth of a commaundment that is taught of men.

⁹ Agayne, when I take in hande, to buylde, or to plante a people or a kyngdom: ¹⁰ yf the same people do euell before me, and heare not my voyce: I repente of the good, that I deuise to do for them:

³⁴ When thys tyme was past, I Nabuchodonosor lyfte vp myne eyes vnto heauen, and myne vnderstandinge was restored vnto me agayne. Then gaue I thanckes vnto the hyghest. I magnifyed and praysed him that lyueth for euermore, whose power endureth alwaye, and hys kyngdome from one generacyon to another:

⁶ Shulde not a sonne honoure his father, & a seruaunt his master? Yf I be now a father, where is myne honoure? Yf I be the Lord, where am I feared? sayeth the Lorde of hostes. Now to you prestes, that despyse my name. And yf ye saye: wherin haue we despised thy name?

²³ because that all men shuld honoure the sonne euen as they honoure the father. He that honoureth not the sonne, the same honoureth not the father which hath sent hym.

⁴⁴ How can ye beleue, which receaue honoure one of another, & seke not the honoure that commeth of God onely?

⁴⁹ Iesus answered: I haue not the deuyll: but I honoure my father, and ye haue dishonored me.

²⁶ If eny man mynister vnto me, lett him folowe me: and Where I am, there shall also my minister be. Yf any man mynister vnto me, hym will my father honoure.

³¹ Therfore when he was gone oute. Iesus sayd: Now is the sonne of man glorifyed. And God is gloryfyed by him. ³² If God be glorifyed by him, God shall also glorify hym by hym selfe: and shall strayght waye gloryfy hym.

⁴ I haue glorifyed the on the erth. I haue finysshed the worcke, which thou gauest me to do. ⁵ And now glorifye thou me (O father) with thyne awne self, with the glory, which I had with the, yer the worlde was.

⁵ Therfore iudge nothinge before the tyme vntyll the Lorde come, whych wyll lyghten thinges that are hyd in darcknes, and open the counsels of the hertes. And then shall euery man haue prayse of God.

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,

² And put them selues in araye against Israel. And when they ioyned the battell, Israel was put to the worse before the Philistines. And the Philistynes slue in araye alonge by the feldes, about a foure thousande men.

¹¹ And the arcke of God was taken, & the two sonnes of Eli, Hophni, & Phinehes were deed. ¹² And there ran a man of BenIamin out of the araye, and came to Silo the same daye with his clothes rent & earth vpon hys heed. ¹³ And when he came, Eli sate vpon a stole, and loked toward the waye: for his hert feared for the arcke of God. And when the man came into the cytie, and tolde it, all the cytie cryed. ¹⁴ And when Eli herde the noyse of the cryeng he sayd: What meaneth this noyse of the rumor? And the man came in hastely, & tolde Eli. ¹⁵ Eli was .xcviij. yeare olde, and hys syght fayled him that he could not se. ¹⁶ And the man sayd vnto Eli: I am he that came out of the araye, & fled this daye out of the hoost. And he sayde: what thing is fortuned my sonne? ¹⁷ The messenger answered & sayd. Israel is fled before the Philistines, & there is a greate slaughter chaunsed amonge the people, & thy two sonnes, Hophni & Phinehes are deed, & the arcke of God is taken. ¹⁸ And it fortuned that whan he made mencion of the arcke of God, Eli fell from of hys stole backwarde vpon the thresholde of the gate, and hys necke brake, and he dyed: for he was an olde man and heuye, and iudged Israel fourtye yeares. ¹⁹ And his daughter in lawe Phinehes wife was wt childe & nye the byrthe. And when she hearde the tydinges that the arcke of God was taken, & that her father in lawe, & her husbande were deed, she bowed her self, and traueled, for her paynes came vpon her. ²⁰ And about the tyme of her deeth, the wemen that stode aboute her, sayd vnto her: feare not, for thou hast borne a sonne: but she answered not, nor regarded it.

³ And Ahia the sonne of Ahitob Iehabods brother, the sonne of Phinehes, the sonne of Eli, was the Lordes preaste in Silo, & ware an Ephod. And the people wyst not that Ionathas was gone.

¹⁷ And the king sayde vnto the fote men that stode about him: turne, & sley the preastes of the Lord, both because their hand is with Dauid, & because they knewe when Dauid fleed, & shewed it not to me. But the seruauntes of the kyng wolde not moue their handes, to fall vpon the preastes of the Lorde. ¹⁸ And the kyng sayde to Doeg: turne thou, and fall vpon the preastes. And Doeg the Edomite turned, and ranne vpon the preastes, and slue that same daye foure skore & fyue persones, that dyd weare a lynnen Ephod. ¹⁹ And Nob the cytie of the preastes smote he wyth the edge of the swerde, both men & wemen, children and sucklynges, oxen and asses and shepe. ²⁰ And one of the sonnes of Ahimelech the sonne of Ahitob (named Abiathar) escaped & fled to Dauid.

²⁶ And vnto Abiathar the preste, sayde the kynge: get the to Anatoth vnto thyne awne feldes: for thou arte worthy of deeth: but I wyll not at this tyme kyll the, because thou barest the arcke of the Lorde God before Dauid my father, and because thou hast suffred with my father in all hys affliccyons. ²⁷ And so Salomon put awaye Abiathar from being preste vnto the Lorde: that he myght fulfill the wordes of the Lord which he spake ouer the house of Eli in Silo.

³⁵ And the kynge put Banaiahu the sonne of Iehoiada in hys rowme ouer the hoost and put Sadock the preste in the rowme of Abiathar.

⁹ Thou hast sent wyddowes awaye emptie and oppressed the poore fatherlesse.

²¹ Beholde, thou sonne of man, I will breake the arme of Pharao kyng of Egypte: and lo it shall not be bounde vp to be healed, nother shall eny playstre be laied vpon it, for to ease it, or to make it so stronge, as to holde a swearde. ²² Therfore, thus sayeth the Lorde God: Beholde, I will vpon Pharao the king of Egypte, and bruse his stronge arme (yet is it but a broken one) & will smyte the swearde out of his handes. ²³ As for the Egypcians. I will scatre them among the Heathen, and strowe them in the landes aboute. ²⁴ Agayne I will strength the arme of the kyng of Babylon, & geue him a sweard in his hand: but I will breake Pharaos arme so that he shall holde it before him pyteously, lyke a wounded man.

¹⁰ No, ner the leuites that ben gone backe fro me: and haue disceaued the people of Israel with all erroures, goyng after theyr ydoles: therfore shall they beare their awne wyckednes.

⁴ And so the people sent to Silo, & fet from thens the arcke of the appoyntment of the Lord of Hoostes, which dwelleth betwene the cherubins. And there were the two sonnes of Eli, Hophni, & Phinehes with the arcke of the appoyntment of God.

¹¹ And the arcke of God was taken, & the two sonnes of Eli, Hophni, & Phinehes were deed.

²² And she sayde agayne: The glory is gone from Israel, for the arcke of God is taken.

⁵⁹ For they greued hym with their hyll alters, and prouoked him to displeasure wyth their ymages. ⁶⁰ When God hearde this, he was wroth, and toke sore dyspleasure at Israel. ⁶¹ So that he forsoke the Tabernacle in Silo, euen the tent that he had pitched among men. ⁶² He delyuered their power into captiuyte, and their bewtye into the enemyes hande. ⁶³ He gaue his people ouer also into the swerde, and was wroth wyth hys inherytaunce. ⁶⁴ The fyre consumed their yong men, and their maydens were not geuen to mariage.

⁴ Thus sayth the Lorde of hoostes. There shall yet olde men & wemen dwel agayne in the stretes of Ierusalem: yee, & soch as go wt staues in their handes for very age.

²¹ And Abiathar shewed Dauid, how that Saul had slayne the lordes preastes. ²² And Dauid sayde vnto Abiathar: I wilt it the same daye, whan Doeg the Edomite was there, that he wolde tell Saul. And I am cause of the deeth of all the soules of thy fathers house. ²³ Abide thou wt me, and feare not: For yf anye man seke my soule, he shall seke thyne also, wt me thou shalt be in sauegard.

⁷ And he toke councell at Ioab the sonne of Zaruia, & at Abiathar the preast. And they helped Adonia.

¹⁹ And he hath offered oxen, fat catell, & many shepe, and hath called all the sonnes of the kynge, & Abiathar the preast, and Ioab the captayne of the hoste. But Salomon thy seruaunt hath he not bydden.

¹⁶ Then Herode whan he sawe that he was mocked of the wyse men, he was exceading wroth, & sent forth men of warre, & slue all the chyldren that were in Bethleem, and in all the coastes, (as many as were two yeere olde or vnder) accordynge to the tyme, whych he had dilygently knowe out of the wyse men. ¹⁷ Then was fulfylled that, which was spoken by the prophet Ieremy: where as he sayd: ¹⁸ in Rama was there a voyce herde lamentacyon, weping, and great mourninge. Rachel weping for her chyldren, & wolde not be comforted because they were not.

¹² In that daye I wyll rayse vp agaynst Eli, all thynges whych I haue spoken concernynge his house: from the begynnyng to the endyng.

¹⁷ The messenger answered & sayd. Israel is fled before the Philistines, & there is a greate slaughter chaunsed amonge the people, & thy two sonnes, Hophni & Phinehes are deed, & the arcke of God is taken.

³ And he gaue a token the same tyme, sayenge: thys is the token, that the Lorde hath spoken it. Beholde, the aulter shall rent, and the asshes that are vpon it, shall fall out.

¹² Up therfore and gett the to thyne house. Beholde, whan thy fote entereth into the cytie, the chylde shall dye.

²¹ And it fortuned because the midwyues feared God, he made them houses.

¹³ and he shall haue it, & his seed after him, euen the couenaunte of the preastes offyce for euer because he was gelous for his Goddes sake, and made an attonement for the chyldren of Israel.

¹³ Therfore Samuel toke the horne wyth the oyntment, & anoynted him in the myddes of hys brethren. And the sprete of the Lorde came vpon Dauid, from that daye forwarde. And Samuel rose vp, and went to Rama.

²⁸ Forgeue the trespace of thine handmayde, for the Lord will make my Lorde a sure house, because my Lord fyghteth the batayles of the Lorde, and there coulde none euel be founde in the in all thy dayes.

¹¹ sence the tyme that I sett Iudges ouer my people Israel. And I will geue the rest from all thine enemyes. And the Lord telleth the, that he wyll make the an howse.

²⁷ For thou, O Lord of Hostes, God of Israell, hast tolde in the eare of thy seruaunt, sayeng: I wyll bylde the an house And therfore hath thy seruaunt found in his harte, to praye this prayer vnto the.

⁸ But Sabock the preast, Banaiahu the sonne of Iehoiada, Nathan the prophet, Semei and Rei, and all the men of myght which were with Dauid, fauoured not Adonia.

⁴⁵ And Sadock the preast, and Nathan the prophet haue anoynted hym kyng in Gihon. And they came vp agayne, and reioysed, that the cytie dyd sounde agayne. And that is the noyse, that ye haue hearde.

³⁸ And yf thou herken vnto all that I commaunde the, & wylt walke in my wayes & do that is ryght in my syght, that thou kepe my statutes and my commaundementes (as Dauid my seruaunt dyd) then wyll I be with the, & buylde the a sure house that shall contynewe, as I buylte for my seruaunt Dauid, and wyll geue Israel vnto the

⁸ Ahitob begat Zadoc, and Zadoc begat Ahimaaz. ⁹ Ahimaaz begat Azaria, and Azaria begat Iohanam. ¹⁰ Iohanam begat Azaria, which minystred in the temple that Salomon buylte in Ierusalem. ¹¹ Azaria begat Amaria, Amaria begat Ahitob. ¹² Ahitob begat Zadoc, and Zadoc begat Sallum. ¹³ Sallum begat Helkia, and Helkia begat Azaria. ¹⁴ Azaria begat Saraia, and Saraia begat Iehozedech. ¹⁵ And Iehozedech departed, when the Lorde caryed awaye Iuda and Ierusalem by the hande of Nebuchadnezar.

²² & dyd eate & dryncke before the Lorde the same daye wt greate gladnesse. And they made Salomon the sonne of Dauid kynge the seconde tyme, and annoynted him prynce before the Lorde, and Zadock to be the hye preaste.

¹⁰ Iesua begat Ioakim. Ioakim also begat Eliasib, & Eliasib begat Ioiada. ¹¹ Ioiada begat Ionathan, and Ionathan begat Iadua.

⁵⁰ For this cause I will geue thankes vnto the, O Lorde, amonge the Gentyles, and synge prayses vnto thy name. Greate prosperite geueth he vnto his kinge: and sheweth louyng kyndnesse vnto Dauid hys anoynted, & vnto hys seede for euermore.

²³ I wyll rayse vp vnto them one onely shepherde, euen my seruaunt Dauid, he shall fede them and he shall be their shepherde.

¹⁵ But the prestes, the leuites, the sonne of Sadoch, that kepte the holy ordynaunces of my sanctuary, when the chyldren of Israel were gone fro me, shall come to me, to do me seruyce, to stande before me, and to offre me the fat and the bloude, sayth the Lorde God. ¹⁶ They shall go into my sanctuary, and treade before my table: to do me seruyce, and to wayte vpon myne ordynaunces.

¹⁷ Wherfore, in all thynges it became hym to be made lyke vnto his brethren, that he myght be mercyfull, and a faythfull hye Preste in thynges concernynge God, for to pourge the peoples synnes.

²⁶ For soch an hye Prest it became vs to haue, which is holy, harmlesse, vndefiled, separate from synners, made hyer then heauen. ²⁷ Which nedeth not dayly (as yonder hye prestes) to offer vp sacrifice. Fyrst for his awne synnes and then for the peoples synnes. For that dyd he once, when he offered vp him self. ²⁸ For the lawe maketh men prestes, which haue infirmitie: but the worde of the oth that came sence the lawe, maketh the sonne preste, whych is perfecte for euermore.

²⁹ Wherfore treade ye downe my sacrifice and myne offeryng, which I commaunded to be made in the Tabernacle, & honorest thy chyldren aboue me, to make youre selues fatt of the first frutes of all the offerynges of Israel my people? ³⁰ Wherfore the lorde God of Israell sayeth: I sayde, that thy house and the house of thy father shuld walke before me for euer. But now the lorde sayeth: that be farre from me: for them that worshipe me, I will worshipe, & they that despyse me, shall come to shame.

²⁷ And so Salomon put awaye Abiathar from being preste vnto the Lorde: that he myght fulfill the wordes of the Lord which he spake ouer the house of Eli in Silo.

¹⁰ No, ner the leuites that ben gone backe fro me: and haue disceaued the people of Israel with all erroures, goyng after theyr ydoles: therfore shall they beare their awne wyckednes. ¹¹ Shulde they be set and ordeined to ministre vnder the dores of the house of my sanctuary? And to do seruyce in the house: to slaye burntofferynges and sacrifyces for the people: to stande before them, and to serue them, ¹² seynge the seruyce that they do them, is before theyr ydoles, and cause the house of Israel to stomble thorowe theyr wickednes? For the which cause I haue pluckte oute myne hande ouer them, sayth the Lorde, so that nowe they must beare theyr awne iniquitie,

¹³ Now saye ye: It is but laboure and trauayle, and thus haue ye thought scorne at it (sayeth the Lorde of hoostes) offrynge robbery, yee, the lame and the sycke. Ye haue brought me in a meatofferyng, shulde I accepte it of your hande, sayeth the Lorde?
