Acts 2 Cross References - Great

¹ When the fyftye dayes were come to an ende, they were all with one accorde together in one place. ² And sodenly ther came a sounde from heauen, as it had bene the commynge of a myghty wynde, and it fylled all the house where they sate. ³ And there appered vnto them clouen tonges, lyke as they had bene of fyer, and it sate vpon eache one of them: ⁴ and they were all fylled with the holy goost, and beganne to speake with other tonges, euen as the same sprete gaue them vtteraunce. ⁵ Ther were dwellyng at Ierusalem, Iewes, deuoute men, out of euery nacyon of them that are vnder heauen. ⁶ When thys was noysed aboute, the multitude came together, & were astonnyed, because that euery man hearde them speake with his awne langage. ⁷ They wondred all, and marueyled, sayinge among them selues: beholde, are not all these which speake, of Galile? ⁸ And how heare we euery man his awne tong, wherin we were borne? ⁹ Parthians, and Medes and Elamytes, and the inhabiters of Mesopotamia, and of Iury, and of Capadocia, of Ponthus and Asia, ¹⁰ Phrygia, and Pamphilia, of Egypte, and of the partyes of Lybia which is besyd? Syren, and straungers of Rome, Iewes & Proselites. ¹¹ Grekes and Arabians: we haue herd them speake in oure awne tonges the greate worckes of God. ¹² They were all amased, and wondred sayinge one to another: what meaneth this? ¹³ Other mocked, sayinge: these men are full of new wyne. ¹⁴ But Peter stepped forth with the eleuen, and lyft vp his voyce, and sayde vnto them: Ye men of Iewrye, and all ye that dwell at Ierusalem: be this knowen vnto you, & with youre eares heare my wordes. ¹⁵ For these are not droncken, as ye suppose, seynge it is but the thyrde houre of the daye. ¹⁶ But this it that which was spoken by the Prophete Iohel: ¹⁷ And it shalbe in the last dayes, sayth God: of my sprete I wyll poore out vpon all flesshe. And youre sonnes & youre daughters shall prophesy, and youre yonge men shall se vysyons, and youre olde men shall dreame dreames. ¹⁸ And on my seruauntes, & on my hande maydens I wyll poore out of my sprete in those dayes, and they shall prophesye. ¹⁹ And I wyll shewe wonders in heauen aboue, and tokens in the erth beneth, bloud and fyre and the vapour of smoke. ²⁰ The sunne shalbe turned into darcknes, & the moone into bloude, before that great and notable daye of the Lorde come. ²¹ And it shall come to passe, that whosoeuer shall call on the name of the Lorde, shalbe saued. ²² Ye men of Israel, heare these wordes: Iesus of Nazareth a man aproued of God amonge you with myracles, wonders and sygnes, which God dyd by hym in the myddes of you (as ye youre selues knowe) ²³ hym haue ye taken by the handes of vnryghtewes persones, after he was delyuered by the determinat counsell & foreknowledge of God, & haue crucifyed and slayne him: ²⁴ whom God hath raysed vp, & loosed the sorowes of deeth, because it was vnpossible, that he shulde be holden of it. ²⁵ For Dauid speaketh of him. A fore hande I sawe God alwayes before me: for he is on my ryght hande, that I shulde not be moued. ²⁶ Therfore dyd my hert reioyce, & my tonge was glad. Moreouer also my flesshe shall rest in hope, ²⁷ because thou wilt not leaue my soule in hell, nether wilt thou suffre thine holye to se corrupcion. ²⁸ Thou hast shewed me the wayes of lyfe, thou shalt make me full of ioye with thy countenaunce. ²⁹ Ye men and brethren, let me frely speake vnto you of the patriarke Dauid: For he is both deed and buryed, and hys sepulchre remayneth with vs vnto this daye. ³⁰ Therfore, seinge he was a Prophet, and knewe that God had sworne with an othe to him, that Christ (as concerninge the flessh) shulde come of the frute of his loynes, and on hys seat, ³¹ he knowyng this before, spake of the resurreccyon of Chryst, that his soule shulde not be left in hell: nether hys flesshe shulde se corrupcyon. ³² This Iesus hath God raysed vp, wherof we all are witnesses. ³³ Sence now that he by the ryght hande of God exalted is, and hath receaued of the father the promyse of the holy Goost, he hath sheed forth thys which ye now se and heare. ³⁴ For Dauid is not ascendyd into heuen: but he sayeth: The Lord sayde to my Lorde: syt thou on my ryght hand, ³⁵ vntyll I make thy fooes thy fote stole. ³⁶ So therfore, let all the house of Israel knowe for a suerty, that God hath made that same Iesus (whom ye haue crucified) Lorde and Chryst. ³⁷ When they hearde this, they were pricked in their hertes, and sayd vnto Peter, & vnto the other Apostles: Ye men & brethren what shall we do? ³⁸ Peter sayde vnto them: repent of youre synnes, and be baptysed euery one of you in the name of Iesus Chryst for the remission of synnes, and ye shall receaue the gyfte of the holy goost. ³⁹ For the promyse was made vnto you and to youre chyldren, and to all that are a farre of, euen as many as the Lorde oure God shall call. ⁴⁰ And with many other wordes bare he witnes, and exhorted them, sayinge: Saue youre selues from this vntowarde generacion. ⁴¹ Then they that gladly receaued his preachinge, were baptised: and the same daye, ther were added vnto them aboute thre thousande soules. ⁴² And they continued in the Apostles doctrine and felowshyp, & in breakynge of bread, and in prayers. ⁴³ And feare came ouer euery soule. And many wondres & signes were shewed by the Apostles. ⁴⁴ And all that beleued, kept them selues together, & had all thynges commen, ⁴⁵ and solde their possessions and goodes, and parted them to all men, as euery man had nede. ⁴⁶ And they continued dayly with one accorde in the temple, & brake bread from house to house, & dyd eate their meate together, wt gladnes & singlenes of hert, ⁴⁷ praysinge God, and had fauour with all the people. And the Lorde added to the congregacion dayly, soch as shulde be saued.

¹¹ And he sayde: come out & stande vpon the mount, before the Lord. And beholde the Lorde went by, & a myghtie stronge wynde that rent the mountaynes & brake the rockes before the Lorde. But the Lorde was not in the wynde. And after the winde came an erth quake. But the Lorde was not in the erthe quake.

¹⁰ He rode vpon the cherubins, & dyd flye: he came flying vpon the wynges of the wynde.

¹⁶ Up thou north wynde, come thou south wynde, and blowe vpon my garden, that the smell therof maybe caryed on euery syde: yee that my beloued maye come into hys garden, & eate of the swete frutes that growe therin.

²⁴ And it shalbe, that or euer they call, I shall answere them. Whyle they are yet but thinckynge howe to speake, I shall heare them.

¹² With that the sprete toke me vp. And I hearde the noyse of a greate russhynge and remouynge of the most blessed glory of the Lorde out of hys place. ¹³ I hearde also the noyse of the wynges of the beastes, that russhed one agaynst another, yee, and the ratlyng of the wheles, that were by them, whych rushynge and noyse was very greate.

⁹ Then sayde he vnto me. Thou sonne of man, prophecye thou towarde the wynde: prophecy: and speake to the wynde. Thus sayeth the Lord God. Come (O thou ayre) from the foure wyndes, & blowe vpon these slayne that they may be restored to lyfe. ¹⁰ So I prophecied, as he had commaunded me: then came the breth into them, and they receaued lyfe, and stode vp vpon their fete, a maruelous greate sorte.

¹³ And streyght waye ther was with the angel a multitude of heauenly sowdyers, praysing God: & sayinge:

⁸ The wynde bloweth where it lysteth, & thou hearest the sounde therof but canst not tell whence it commeth & whether it goeth. So is euery one that is borne of the sprete.

³¹ And assone as they had prayed the place moued where they were assembled together and they were all fylled with the holy Goost, and they spake the worde of God boldely.

²⁵ At mydnyght Paul & Sylas prayed, and lauded God. And the presoners hearde them. ²⁶ And sodenly ther was a greate erthquake, so that the foundacion of the preson was shaken, and immediatly all the dores opened and euery mannes bandes were loosed.

⁶ And the Lorde sayde: Beholde, the people is one, and they haue all one language, & thys they begynne to do, neyther wyll it be restrayned from them, whatsoeuer they haue ymagined to do.

⁹ Daye and night go they about within the walles therof: myschefe also, and sorow are in the myddest of it.

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

² The sprete of the Lord shall lyght vpon hym: the sprete of wysdome, and vnderstandynge: the sprete of councell, & strength the sprete of knowledge, and of the feare of the Lorde: ³ and shall make hym feruent in the feare of God. For he shall not geue sentence, after the thyng that shal be brought before his eyes, nether reproue a matter at the fyrst hearing:

²⁹ Is not my worde lyke a fyre, sayeth the Lorde, and Lyke an hammer, that breaketh the harde stone.

² But who may abyde the daye of his commyng? Who shalbe able to endure, when he appeareth? For he is like a goldsmythes fyre, ad lyke wasshers sope. ³ He shal syt him downe to trye and to clense the syluer, he shall pourge the chyldren of Leui, and purifye them lyke as golde and syluer: that they maye bringe meatofferinges vnto the Lorde in righteousnes.

¹¹ I baptyse you in water vnto repentaunce: but he that shall come after me is myghtyer then I, whose shoes I am not worthy to beare. He shall baptise you with the holy ghost and with fyre:

¹⁵ Iesus answered & said vnto him: Let it be so now. For thus it becometh vs to fulfyll all ryghteousnesse. Then he suffred hym.

³² And they sayd betwene them selues: dyd not oure hertes burne wyth in vs, whyll he talked wyth vs by the waye, and opened to vs the scryptures?

³² And Iohn bare recorde, sayinge: I sawe the sprete descende from heauen, lyke vnto a doue, & abode vpon him, ³³ and I knewe hym not. But he that sent me to baptise in water, the same sayde vnto me: vpon whom thou shalt se the sprete descende, and tary styll on hym, the same is he whych baptiseth wyth the holy goost.

¹⁵ And in those dayes Peter stode vp in the myddes of the discyples, and sayde (the nombre of names that were together, were aboute an hundred and twentye.)

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

¹¹ Grekes and Arabians: we haue herd them speake in oure awne tonges the greate worckes of God.

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

⁶ and the tonge is fyre, euen a world of wyckednes. So is the tonge set amonge oure membres, that it defyleth the whole body, and setteth a fyre all that we haue of nature, and is it selfe set a fyre euen of hell.

³ And I wyll geue power vnto my two witnesses, & they shall prophesy a thousande, two hundred & .lx. dayes, clothed in sacke clothe.

⁶ And I sawe, another angell flye in the myddes of heauen hauynge the euerlastyng gospell, to preache vnto them that syt & dwell on the erth, & to all nacyons, kynreds, & tonges & people,

¹¹ And the Lorde sayde vnto hym: who hath made mans mouth, or who hath made the domme or the deaff, the seynge or the blynde? haue not I the Lorde? ¹² Therfore I will be with thy mouth, & teache the what thou shalt saye.

²⁵ And the Lorde came downe in a cloud, and spake vnto hym, and toke of the sprete that was vpon hym, and gaue it vnto the .lxx. elders. And it fortuned that when the sprete rested vpon them, they prophecied, & did not ceasse. ²⁶ But there remayned two of the men in the hoost: the name of the one was Eldad, and the name of the other Medad. And the sprete rested vpon them, and they were of them that were wrytten, and went not out vnto the tabernacle, but prophecied in the hoost. ²⁷ And there ran a yong man, and tolde Moses and sayd: Eldad and Medad do prophecye in the hooste. ²⁸ And Iosua the sonne of Nun the seruaunt of Moses one of hys yonge men, answered & sayde: master Moses, forbyd them. ²⁹ And Moses sayde vnto hym: enuyest thou for my sake? wolde God that all the Lordes people coulde prophecye, and that the Lorde wold put hys sprete vpon them.

¹⁰ And when they came to the hill: beholde, the companye of prophetes met hym, and the sprete of God cam vpon hym also, & he prophesyed among them.

² the sprete of the Lorde spake by me, & his worde was in my tonge.

¹¹ For he that speaketh vnto this people is euen as one that vseth rudenes of spech, and a straunge language. Yf any man saye vnto them:

²¹ I wyll make thys couenaunt wyth them (sayth the Lorde:) My sprete that is vpon the, and the wordes which I haue put in thy mouth, shall neuer go out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy chylders chyldren, from thys tyme forth for euermore worlde wythout ende sayth the Lorde.

⁷ And the Lorde answered me thus: Saye not so, I am to younge: For thou shalt goo to all that I shall sende the vnto, and whatsoeuer I commaunde the, that shalt thou speake. ⁸ Be not afrayed of their faces, for I am with the, to delyuer the, sayeth the Lorde. ⁹ And with that, the Lorde stretched oute his hande, and touched my mouth, & the same lorde sayde vnto me. Behold, I put my wordes in thy mouth,

¹¹ And therfore, I am so full of thyne indignacyon, (O Lord) that I maye suffre no longer. But shede it out vpon the chyldren that are without, and vpon all yonge men. Yee, the man must be taken presoner with the wyfe, & the aged wyth the crepel.

¹¹ and go to the presoners of thy people, speake vnto them, and saye on thys maner: Thus the Lorde God hath spoken: whether ye heare, or heare not.

⁸ As for me, I am full of strength, & of the sprete of the Lorde, full of iudgement & boldnesse: to shewe the house of Iacob theyr wyckednes, and the house of Israel theyr synne.

¹⁹ But when they delyuer you vp, take ye no thought, how or what ye shall speake: for it shalbe geuen you, euen in that same houre what ye shall speake.

¹⁷ And these tokens shall folowe them that beleue. In my name they shall cast out deuyls, they shall speake with newe tonges,

¹⁵ For he shalbe greate in the syght of the Lorde, and shall nether drincke wyne ner stronge drincke. And he shalbe fylled with the holy goost, euen from his mothers wombe:

⁴¹ And it fortuned, that whan Elizabeth hearde the salutacyon of Mary, the babe sprange in her wombe. And Elizabeth was fylled with the holy ghost,

⁶⁷ And his father Zacharias was filled with the holy goost, and prophisyed sayinge?

¹ Iesus beynge full of the holy goost, returned from Iordan and was led by the sprete into wildernes,

¹² For the holy goost shall teache you in the same houre, what ye ought to saye.

¹⁵ for I wyll geue you a mouth & wysdome, where agaynste, all your aduersaries shall not be able to speake nor resist.

²⁶ But the comforter which is the holy ghost whom my father wil sende in my name, he shal teach you all thinges, & bryng all thinges to your remembraunce whatsoeuer I haue sayd vnto you.

²² And when he had sayd those wordes, he brethed on them and sayeth vnto them: Receaue ye the holy goost.

⁵ For Iohn truly baptysed with water, but ye shalbe baptysed with the holy goost after these feawe dayes.

⁸ but ye shal receaue power after that the holy goost is come vpon you. And ye shalbe witnesses vnto me not onely in Ierusalem, but also in all Iewry and in Samary, and euen vnto the worldes ende.

⁸ Then Peter full of the holy goost sayde vnto them ye rulars of the people, and elders of Israel,

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.

⁵ And the sayinge pleased the whole multitude. And they chose Steuen a man full of faith and of the holy ghost, and Philip, and Procorus, and Nichanor, and Timon, and Permenas, and Nicolas a conuert of Antioche.

⁸ And Steuen, full of fayth and power, dyd great wondres and miracles amonge the people.

⁵⁵ But he beyng ful of the holy ghost, loked vp stedfastlye wt hys eyes into heauen, and sawe the glorye of God, and Iesus standyng on the ryght hande of God,

¹⁷ And Ananias went his waye, and entred into the house, and put hys handes on hym, and sayd: brother Saul, the Lord that apperyd vnto the in the waye as thou camest, hath sent me, that thou myghtest receaue thy syght, and be fylled with the holy ghost.

⁴⁶ For they hearde them speake with tonges, & magnify God. Then answered Peter:

¹⁵ And as I beganne to preach, the holy ghost fell on them, as he dyd on vs at the begynninge.

²⁴ For he was a good man, and full of the holy ghost & of faith: and moch people was added vnto the Lorde.

⁹ Then Saul (which also is called Paul) beynge full of the holy ghost, set hys eyes on him,

⁵² And the discyples were fylled with ioye and with the holy ghost.

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

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.

²⁸ And God hath also ordeyned in the congregacyon, fyrst Apostles, secondarely prophetes, thrydly teachers, then them that do myracles: after that, the gyftes of healyng, helpers, gouerners, diuersitye of tonges. ²⁹ Are all Apostles? Are all Prophetes? Are all teachers? Are all doars of miracles? ³⁰ Haue all the gyftes of healinge? Do all speake with tonges? Do all interprete?

¹ Though I spake with the tonges of men and of angels, and haue no loue. I am euen as sounding brasse, or as a tynklinge cymball.

⁸ Though that prophesyinges fayle, other tonges cease, or knowledge vanysshe awaye, yet loue falleth neuer awaye.

⁵ I wolde that ye all spake with tonges: but rather that ye prophesied. For greater is he that prophesyeth, then he that speaketh with tonges, except he expounde it: that the congregacion maye haue edifying.

¹⁸ I thanke my God that I speake with tonges more then ye all.

²¹ In the lawe it is written with sondrie tonges, and with sondrye lyppes will I speake vnto this people, and yet for all that, will they not heare me, sayth the Lorde. ²² Wherfore tonges are for a sygne, not to them that beleue: but to them that beleue not. Contrary wyse, prophesyinge serueth not for them that beleue not: but for them which beleue. ²³ If therfore, when all the congregacyon is come together, and all speake with tonges, ther come in they that are vnlearned, or they which beleue not: will they not saye, that ye are out of youre wittes?

²⁶ How is it then brethren? As oft as ye come together, euery one of you hath a songe, hath a doctrine, hath a tonge, hath a reuelacyon, hath an interpretacyon. Let all thinges be done vnto edifyinge: ²⁷ If eny man speake with tonge, let it be by two or at the most by thre, and that by course, and let another interprete it. ²⁸ But yf ther be no interpreter, let him kepe sylence in the congregacyon, and let him speake to him selfe and to God. ²⁹ Let the prophetes speake two, or thre, & let the other iudge. ³⁰ If eny reuelacyon be made to another that sytteth by, let the fyrst holde his peace. ³¹ For ye maye al prophesy one by one, that all maye learne, and that all maye haue comforte. ³² And the spretes of the prophetes are in the power of the Prophetes.

¹⁹ & to knowe the excellent loue of the knowledge of Christ that ye myght be fulfylled with all fulnes, which commeth of God.

¹⁸ and be not droncke with wyne wherin is excesse: but be fylled with the sprete,

¹⁸ And praye all wayes with all maner of prayer and supplicacyon in the sprete: and watch ther vnto with all instance and supplycacyon for all saynctes

¹² vnto whych Prophetes it was also declared, that not vnto them selues, but vnto vs, they shulde minyster the thynges whych are now shewed vnto you of them, whych (by the holy goost sent downe from heauen) haue in the Gospell preached vnto you the thynges, whych the angels desyre to beholde.

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.

²⁵ This daye wyll I begynne to sende the feare and dreade of the, vpon all nacions that are vnder all the heauen: so that they whych heare speake of the, shall tremble and quake before the.

¹⁸ For I wyll come to gather all people & tonges with their workes and ymaginacyons: these shall come, and se my glory.

¹⁸ And the worde of the Lord of hoostes, came vnto me, sayeng:

¹⁴ And this Gospell of the kyngdome shalbe preached in all the worlde, for a wytnes vnto all nacyons, and then shall the ende come.

²⁵ And beholde, ther was a man in Hierusalem whose name was Simeon. And the same man was iuste & godly, & loked for the consolacion of Israel, and the holy goost was in him.

²⁴ for as the lyghtenynge that apereth out of the one parte that is vnder heauen, & shyneth vnto the other parte which is vnder heauen, so shall the sonne of man be in hys dayes.

¹⁸ And the one of them (whose named was Cleophas) answered, and sayde to hym: art thou onely a straunger in Ierusalem, and hast not knowen the thynges whych haue chaunsed there, in these dayes?

²⁰ Ther were certen Grekes amonge them, that came to worshyp at the feaste:

¹ When the fyftye dayes were come to an ende, they were all with one accorde together in one place.

² But deuout men dressed Steuen, and made great lamentacyon ouer hym.

²⁷ And he arose, & went on. And behold, a man of Ethiopia (a chamberlene, & of greate auctorite with Candace quene of the Ethiopians, & had the rule of al her treasure came to Ierusalem for to worshyp.

² a deuote man, & one that feared God with all hys housholde, which gaue moch almes to the people, and prayde God all waye.

⁷ And when the angell which spake vnto hym, was departed, he called two of hys housholde seruauntes, and a deuoute soudier of them that wayted on him,

⁵⁰ But the Iewes moued the deuoute and honest wemen, and the chefe men of the cytie, & reysed persecucyon agaynst Paul and Barnabas, and expelled them out of theyr coastes

¹² And one Ananias a parfecte man, (and as pertaynynge to the lawe hauynge good reporte of all the Iewes, whych there dwelt)

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.

³ When Herode the kyng had hearde these thynges, he was troubled, and all the cyte of Ierusalem with hym.

² And sodenly ther came a sounde from heauen, as it had bene the commynge of a myghty wynde, and it fylled all the house where they sate.

¹¹ And as the halt which was healed, helde Peter and Iohn, all the people ranne amased vnto them in the porche that is called Salomons.

⁹ For a greate dore and a frutefull is opened vnto me and ther are many aduersaryes.

¹² When I was come to Troada for Christes Gospelles sake (and a dore was opened vnto me of the Lord)

¹⁸ As Iesus walked by the see of Galile he sawe two brethren: Symon, which was called Peter, & Andrew his brother, castyng a neet into the see (for they were fisshers) ¹⁹ and he sayth vnto them: folowe me, and I wyll make you fisshers of men. ²⁰ And they streyght waye lefte the nettes, and folowed hym. ²¹ And whan he was gone forth fro thence, he sawe other two brethren, Iames the sonne of Zebede, & Iohn his brother, in the shyp wt Zebede their father, mending their nettes, & he called them. ²² And they immediatly lefte the shyp and theyr father, and folowed hym.

¹¹ And the people sayd: this is Iesus the Prophet of Nazareth (a cyte) of Galile

⁷³ And after a whyle, came vnto him they (that stode by) and sayde vnto Peter. surely thou art euen one of them, for thy speache be wrayeth the.

²⁷ And they were all amased, in so moch that they demaunded one of another amonge them selues sayinge: what thyng is this? What newe doctrine is thys? For with auctorite commaunded he the foule spirites, and they obeyed hym.

¹² And immediatly he arose, toke vp the bed, and went forth before them all: in so moch that they were all amased, & glorifyed God, sayinge: we neuer sawe it on this fassyon.

⁵² They answered, and sayd vnto him: art thou also of Galile? Search & loke, For out of Galile aryseth no Prophete.

¹¹ which also sayd: ye men of Galile, why stande ye gasynge vp into heauen? This same Iesus which is taken vp from you into heauen, shall so come, euen as ye haue sene him go into heauen.

¹² They were all amased, and wondred sayinge one to another: what meaneth this?

¹⁰ And they knewe hym, that it was he, which sate and begged at the beutyfull gate of the temple. And they wondred and were sore astonyed at that which had happened vnto hym.

¹¹ And when the people sawe what Paul had done, they lyfte vp their voyces, sayinge in the speache of Lycaonia: Goddes are come downe to vs in the lyknes of men. ¹² And they called Barnabas Iupiter, and Paul Mercurius, because he was the preacher,

²² The chyldren of Sem: Elam and Assur, Arphachsad, and Lud and Aram.

¹ And it chaunsed in the dayes of Amraphael kynge of Synhar, Arioch kinge of Ellasar, kedorlaomor kynge of Elam, & Thydeall kynge of the nacions,

¹⁰ And the seruaunt toke .x. camels of the cameles of hys master and departed, and had of all maner goodes of hys master wyth hym, and stode vp and went to Mesopotamya, vnto the cytie of Nahor.

⁴ because they met you not wyth bread and water in the waye, when ye came out of Egypt, and because they hyred agaynst the. Balaam the sonne of Beor of Pethor, of Mesopotamia, to curse the.

⁸ Therfore the lord was angrye with Israel, & delyuered them into the handes of Chusan Risathaim kyng of Mesopotamia, and the children of Israell serued Chusam Risathaim .viii. yeres.

⁶ In the nynth yeare of Hosea, the kynge of Assyria toke Samaria, and caryed Israel awaye vnto Assyria, and put them in Hala, in Habor by the ryuer of Goza, and in the cyties of the Medes.

⁶ And when the chyldren of Ammon sawe that they stanke in the syght of Dauid. Hanon & the chyldren of Ammon sent a thousande talentes of syluer to hyre them charettes & horsemen, out of Mesopotamia, and out of Syria Maacha & out of Zoba.

² And there was founde in a coffer (in the place that is in the lande of the Medes) a volume: and ther in was it thus wrytten, and soche a memoriall:

¹¹ At the same time shal the lord take in hande agayne, to conquere the remnaunt of his people (which shalbe left alyue) From the Assyrians, Egypcians, Arabians, Morians, Elamites, Caldeyes, Antiochians and from the Ilandes of the see.

² A greuous vision was shewed vnto me: Let one dysceatfull offender come agaynst another, & one destroyer agaynst another. Up Elam, laye sege thou of Media all their gronynge haue I layed downe.

² I sawe in a visyon (and when I sawe it, I was at Susis in the chefe cyte, which lyeth in the lande of Elam) and in the vision, me thought I was by the ryuer of Ulai.

²⁰ The ramme which thou sawest with the two hornes, is the kynge of the Medes and Perses:

⁹ Then ther arose certen of the Synagoges, which is called the Synagoge of the Libertynes and Sirenytes, and of Alexandria, and of Celicia, and of Asia, disputynge with Steuen.

² And he sayd: ye men, brethren and fathers, hearken. The God of glory appeared vnto our father Abraham, whan he was in Mesopotamia, before he dwelt in Charran,

⁶ When they had gone thorow out Phrigia. and the region of Galacia, and were forbydden of the holy ghost to preach the word in Asia,

² and founde a certayne Iewe named Aquila, borne in Ponthus, lately come from Italie with his wyfe Priscilla (because that the Emperour Claudius had commaunded all Iewes to departe from Rome) and he drew vnto them,

¹⁰ And this contynued by the space of two yeares: so that all they which dwelt in Asia, heard the worde of the Lorde Iesu, both Iewes and Grekes.

²⁷ So that not only this oure crafte cometh into parell to be set at nought: but also that the temple of the greate Goddesse Diana shulde be despysed, & her magnificence shulde be destroyed, whom all Asia and the world worshyppeth.

³¹ But certayne of the chefe of Asia (which were his frendes) sent vnto him, desyrynge him, that he wolde not preace into the comen hall.

¹⁸ Which when they were come to him, he layd vnto them: Ye knowe from the fyrst daye that I cam into Asia, after what maner I haue bene wt you at all ceasons,

⁵ Lyke wyse, grete the congregacion that is in their house. Salute my welbeloued Ephenetes, which is the fyrst frute of Achaia in Christ.

¹⁹ The congregacyons of Asia salute you Aquila and Priscilla salute you moch in the Lorde, and so doeth the congregacyon that is in their house.

⁸ Brethren, I wolde not haue you ignoraunt of oure trouble, which happened vnto vs in Asia. For we were greued out of measure passing strength, so greatly that we despayred euen of lyfe.

¹⁵ This thou knowest, howe that all they which are in Asia, be turned from me: of whych sorte are Phigelus and Hermogenes.

¹ Peter an Apostle of Iesu Chryst, to them that dwell here and there as straun thorowout Pontus, Galacia, Capadocya: Asia, and Bethynia, elect

⁴ Iohn to the seuen congregacions in Asia. Grace be vnto you and peace, from him which is and which was, and which is to come, & from the seuen spretes which are before his trone,

¹¹ sayinge: I am Alpha and Omega, the fyrst and the laste. That thou seyst, wryte in a boke, and sende it vnto the seuen congregacions which are in Asia, vnto Ephesus, & vnto Smyrna and vnto Pergamos, and vnto Thiatira, and vnto Sardis, & vnto Philadelphia, and vnto Laodicia.

¹⁰ But there was a derth in that londe, and therfore wente Abram downe in to Egypte, that he myght soiourne there, for there was a sore derth in the londe.

¹⁷ In all landes & cyties, into what places soeuer the kynges worde and commaundement reched, there was ioye & myrth, prosperite & good dayes among the Iewes: in somoch, that many of the people in the lande became of the Iewes belefe, and the feare of the Iewes came vpon them.

²³ In that daye shall there be a comen waye out of Egypte into Assyria, and Assyria shall come into Egypte, & Egypte in to Assyria, so that the Egypcians and the Assyrians shall serue the Lorde together. ²⁴ In that daye shal the nacion of Israel be the thyrde wyth Egypte & Assyria, ²⁵ and they shalbe blessed in the myddes of the lande, which lande the Lord of hoostes hath blessed, sayeng: blessed is my people of Egypte, Assur also is the worke of myne handes, and Israel is myne inheritaunce.

²⁶ The Egyptians, the Iewes, the Edomytes, the Ammonytes, the Moabites. and the shauen Madianytes, that dwell in the wyldernes. For all the Gentiles are vncircumcysed in the flesh, but all the house of Israell are vncircumcysed in the herte.

⁹ Gett you vp ye horses, rolle forth ye charettes, come forth worthies: ye Morians, ye Libeans with youre bucklers, ye Lideans with your bowes.

⁵ the Moryans lande shall be afrayed, yee, the Moryans lande, Libia and Lidia, all theyr comen people, and Chub, and all that be confederat vnto them, shall fall with them thorow the swearde.

⁴³ For thorowe his goynge in, he shall haue dominion ouer the treasures of syluer and golde, and ouer all the precious Iewels of Egypt, Libia and Ethiopia.

¹ When Israell was younge, I loued him: & called my sonne oute of the lande of Egypt.

²⁰ Thus sayeth the Lord of hoostes. There shall yet come people, and the inhabiters of many cytyes,

²³ Thus sayeth the Lord of hoostes. In that tyme shall ten men (out of all maner of languages of the Gentyles) take one Iewe by the hemme of hys garment, & saye: we wyll go wt you, for we haue herde, that God is amonge you.

¹⁵ and was there vnto the deeth of Herode, that it myght be fulfylled, which was spoken of the Lorde by the prophete, sayenge: out of Egypt haue I called my sonne.

³² And as they came out, they founde a man of Cyren (named Simon) him they compelled to beare his crosse.

²¹ And they compelled one that passed by, called Simon of Cyrene (the father of Alexander and Rufus) which came out of the felde, to beare his crosse.

²⁰ some of them were men of Cypers & Siren: which when they were come to Antioche, spake vnto the Grekes, and preached the Lorde Iesus.

¹ There were in the congregacyon that is at Antioche, certayn prophtes, and teachers: as Barnabas and Simon that was called Niger, and Lucius of Cerene and Manahen, Herode the Tetrarkes norsfelow, and Saul.

¹³ When Paul departed from Paphos, they that were with him, came to Perga in Pamphilia: and Iohn departed from them, and returned to Ierusalem.

⁴³ When the congregacyon was broken vp, many of the Iewes and verteous proselytes folowed Paul and Barnabas, which spake to them: & exhorted them to continue in the grace of God.

²⁴ And whan they had gone thorowe out Pisidia, they came to Pamphilia,

³⁸ But Paul wold not take him vnto their company which departed from them at Pamphilia, & went not with them to the worcke.

²³ and when he had taryed there a whyle, he departed: and went ouer all the countre of Galacia and Phrygia by order, strengthynge all the discyples.

¹¹ The nyght folowynge, God stode by hym, and sayde: be of good cheare Paul: for as thou hast testifyed of me in Ierusalem so must thou beare wytnesse also at Rome.

⁵ And whan we had sayled ouer the see of Cylicia, & Pamphilia, we cam to Myra whych is in Lycia.

¹⁵ And from thence, when the brethren hearde of vs, they came to mete vs at Apiphorum, and at the thre tauernes. When Paul sawe them, he thancked God, and wexed bolde.

⁷ To all you that be at Rome, beloued of God and sayntes by electyon. Grace be wt you and peace from God oure father, & from the Lorde Iesus Chryst.

¹⁵ So that (as moch as in me is) I am redy to preach the Gospell to you that are at Rome also.

¹⁷ but when he was at Rome, he sought me out very diligently, & founde me.

⁸ And their bodyes shall lye in the stretes of the greate citye, which spritually is called Zodom and Egypte, where oure Lorde was crucyfyed.

¹¹ Who is lyke vnto the, o Lorde, among goddes? who is lyke the so glorious in holynes, fearfull in prayses, shewing wonders?

¹⁵ besydes that he had of chapmen and of marchauntes and of Potycaryes, and of all the kynges of Arabye, and of the Lordes of the countreye.

¹¹ And some of the philistines brought Iehosaphat gyftes, and tribute syluer: And therto the Arabians brought him catell: euen .vij.M. and .vij.C. rammes, and .vij.M. and .vij.C. he goates.

⁷ And God holpe him against the Philistines, and agaynst the Arabiens that dwelt in Gurbaal and Hammehunim.

¹⁰ He doth greate thynges, soch as are vnsearcheable, yee, and wonders withoute nombre.

⁷ That I maye shewe the voyce of thankesgeuynge, and tell of all thy wonderous worckes.

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

¹⁷ Thy righteousnes (O God) is very hie, and great thynges are they that thou hast done: O God, who is lyke vnto the?

¹¹ I wyll remembre the worckes of the Lorde, and call to mynde thy wonders of olde tyme.

⁴ That we shulde not hyde them from the chyldren of the generacyons to come: but to shewe the honour of the Lorde, hys might, and wonderfull workes that he hath done.

⁵ O Lorde the very heauens shall prayse thy wonderous worckes, & thy trueth in the congregacyon of the saynctes.

³ Declare hys honoure vnto the Heathen, and his wonders vnto all people.

⁸ O that men wolde therfor prayse the Lorde, for his goodnes, and declare the wonders that he doth for the chyldren of men.

¹⁵ O that men wold therfore prayse the Lorde for hys goodnesse: & declare the wonders that he doth for the children of men.

²¹ O that men wold therfore prayse the Lorde for hys goodnesse, and declare the wonders that he doth for the chyldren of men.

⁴ The mercyfull & gracyous Lorde hath so done his maruelous workes, that they ought to be had in remembraunce.

⁴ Whych only doth greate wonders, for his mercy endureth for euer.

²⁰ It shall not endure for euer, nether shall there be any more dwellyng there, from generacyon to generacyon. The Arabians shall pytch no tentes there, nether shal the shepheardes make their foldes there any more:

¹³ The burthen concernyng Arabia: In the pleasaunt grounde of Arabia shal ye tary all nyght, euen in the stretes of Dedanin.

¹ Thou arte the Lorde my God, I wyll magnifye the, I wyll geue thankes vnto thy name. For thou hast brought wonderfull thinges to passe, according to thyne olde councels truly & faythfully.

²⁹ This also commeth of the Lorde of hoostes, which worcketh wt wonderfull wysdome, and bringeth excellent workes to passe.

² Lyft vp thyne eyes vnto the hilaulters & loke, yf thou be not defyled with whoredome. Thou hast wayted for them in the stretes, and as a murtherer in the wyldernesse. Thorowe thy whordome & shamefull blasphemyes, is the lande defyled.

²⁴ all the kinges of Araby and (generally) all the kynges that dwel in the deserte:

² I thought it good to shewe the tokens and maruelous worckes, that the hye God hath wrought vpon me. ³ O, howe great are his tokens, and howe myghtie are his wonders? His kyngdome is an euerlasting kyngdome, and his power lasteth for euer and euer.

⁷ And when we had sayled slowly many dayes, and scace were come ouer agaynst Guydon (because the wynde wyth stode vs) we sayled harde by the coaste of Candy, ouer agaynst Salmo,

¹² And because the hauen was not commodious to wynter in, many toke counsell to departe thence, yf by eny meanes they myght attayne to Phenices & there to wynter, whych is an hauen of Candy, and lyeth toward the southwest and north west wynde.

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

¹⁷ nether returned to Ierusalem, to them which were apostles before me: but went my wayes into Arabia, and came agayne vnto Damasco.

²⁵ For mounte Syna is Agar in Arabia, and bordreth vpon the cytie, which is nowe called Ierusalem, and is in bondage with her chyldren.

⁵ For this cause left I the in Creta, that thou shuldest refourme the thynges that are vnperfect, & shuldest ordeyne elders in euery cytie, as I had appoynted the.

¹² One of them selues (euen a prophete of their awne) sayde: The Cretyans are all wayes lyars, euyll beastes, slowe belyes.

⁴ God bearynge wytnes therto, both with sygnes & wonders also & with diuers myracles, & gyftes of the holy gooste, accordynge to hys awne wyll.

²⁶ and called one of his seruauntes, and asked, what those thynges meante.

³⁶ And when he hearde the people passe by, he asked what it meant.

⁷ They wondred all, and marueyled, sayinge among them selues: beholde, are not all these which speake, of Galile?

¹⁷ Whyle Peter also mused in him self what thys visyon (which he had sene) meant: beholde, the men which were sent from Cornelius had made inquirance for Simons house, and stode before the dore:

²⁰ For thou bryngest straunge tydynges to oure eares. We wold knowe therfore, what these thinges meane.

¹⁴ and Eli sayd vnto her: How long wylt thou be droncken? put awaye from the, the wyne that thou hast.

¹⁹ Beholde, my belly is as the wyne, which hath no vente, and bursteth the new vessels in sunder.

⁹ and thy iawes lyke the beste wyne. Whiche goeth strayte vnto my beloued and brusteth forth by the lyppes of the Auncyent eldres.

⁶ And in this mountaine shal the Lord of hostes make vnto all people a feaste of plenteous & delicate thinges, euen of most pleasaunt & deyntie disshes.

¹⁵ The Lord of hoostes shall defende them, they shal consume & deuoure, & subdue them with slynge stones. They shall dryncke & rage, as it were thorow wyne. They shalbe fylled lyke the basens, & as the hornes of the aulter.

¹⁷ O how prosperous and goodly a thynge shal that be? The corne shall make the yonge men chearefull, and the new wyne the maydens.

⁷ Ephraim shalbe as a gyaunt, and their hert shalbe chereful as thorow wyne: yee, their children shall se it, and be glad, and their hert shall reioyce in the Lorde.

¹⁵ For these are not droncken, as ye suppose, seynge it is but the thyrde houre of the daye.

²³ If therfore, when all the congregacyon is come together, and all speake with tonges, ther come in they that are vnlearned, or they which beleue not: will they not saye, that ye are out of youre wittes?

⁹ And Moses and the Preastes the Leuites spake vnto all Israel sayinge: take hede & heare (O Israel) thys daye thou art be come the people of the Lorde thy God.

³² Therfore herken vnto me, O ye chyldren, blessed are they that kepe my wayes.

⁹ Go vp vnto the hye hyll (O Syon) thou that bringest good tydynges, lyfte vp thy voyce with power, O thou preacher Ierusalem. Lyfte it vp without feare, and saye vnto the cyties of Iuda: Beholde youre God,

¹ Herken vnto me, ye that holde of righteousnes, & ye that seke the Lorde. Take hede vnto the stone, whereout ye are hewen, & to the graue wherout ye are dygged.

⁴ Haue respect vnto me then, O my people both hyghe & lowe & laye thyne eare to me: for a lawe & an ordinaunce shall go forth fro me, to lyghten the Gentils.

⁷ Herken vnto me, ye that haue pleasure in righteousnes, thou people that bearest my lawe in thyne hert. Feare not the curse of men: be not afrayde of their blasphemyes and reuylinges:

⁸ Thy watchmen shall lyft vp theyr voyce: with lowde voyce shall they preach of hym: for they shall se hym present, when the Lorde shall conuerte Sion.

² Wherfore do ye laye out youre money, for the thynge that fedeth not, & spende youre laboure aboute the thynge that satisfyeth you not. But herken herken rather vnto me, & ye shall eate of the best, and youre soule shall haue her pleasure in plenteousnes.

¹ Crye nowe, as loude as thou canst. Leaue not of, lyft vp thy voyce lyke a trompet, & shewe my people theyr offences, & the house of Iacob their synnes.

¹ Set the horne to thy mouth, and blowe: swyftly (as an Aegle) shall the enemye come against the house of the Lorde: for they haue broken my couenaunt, & transgressed my lawe.

²⁶ And they gaue forth their lottes, and the lot fel on Mathias, and he was counted with the eleuen Apostles.

²² Ye men of Israel, heare these wordes: Iesus of Nazareth a man aproued of God amonge you with myracles, wonders and sygnes, which God dyd by hym in the myddes of you (as ye youre selues knowe)

³⁵ and sayd vnto them: ye men of Israel, take hede to youre selues, what ye entende to do, as touchynge these men.

¹⁶ Then Paul stode vp, and beckened with the hande for sylence, and sayde: Men of Israell, and ye that feare God, geue audience.

²⁸ crying: men of Israell, helpe. This is the man, that teacheth all men euery where agaynst the people and the lawe, and thys place. He hath also brought Grekes into the temple, and hath polluted thys holy place.

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?

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.

³ And he went out about the thirde houre, & sawe other standyng ydell in the market place,

⁵ Ye are all the chyldren of lyght, and the chyldren of the daye. We are not of the nyght nether of darknes. 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.

²⁸ After this, will I poure out my sprete vpon all flesh: and your sonnes and your daughters shall prophecy: your olde men shall dreame dreames, and youre yonge men shall se visyons, ²⁹ yee, in those dayes I will poure out my sprete vpon seruauntes and maydens. ³⁰ I will shewe wonders in heauen aboue and tokens in the earth beneth: bloude and fyre, and the vapoure of smoke. ³¹ The sunne shalbe turned into darckenes, and the mone into bloude: before the greate & notable daye of the Lord come. ³² And the tyme shall come, that whosoeuer calleth on the name of the Lorde, shalbe saued. For vpon the mounte Syon and at Ierusalem, there shalbe a saluacyon, lyke as the Lorde hath promysed: yee, and amonge the other remnaunt, whom the Lorde shall call.

¹² And God loked vpon the erth, and beholde it was corrupt: For al fleshe had corrupt his waye vpon earth.

¹ And Iacob called for hys sonnes and sayde: come together, that I maye tell you what shall happen you in the last dayes.

² Thou that hearest the prayer: vnto the shall all flesh come.

⁶ He shall come downe like the rayne into a flese of wolle, euen as the droppes that water the earth.

²³ O turne you vnto my correccion: lo, I wyll expresse my mynde vnto you, & make you vnderstande my wordes.

² It wilbe also in the last dayes that the hyll where the house of the Lorde is builded, shall be the chefe amonge hylles, and exalted aboue all lytle hylles. And all nacyons shall preace vnto hym, and the multytude of people shal go

¹⁵ vnto the tyme that the sprete be powred vpon vs from aboue. Then shall the wyldernes be a frutefull felde, and the plenteous feld shalbe rekened for a wodde. ¹⁶ Then shall equytie dwell in the desert, and rigteousnes in a frutefull land.

⁵ For the glory of the Lorde shall appeare, and all flesh shall at once se it, for why: the mouth of the Lorde hath spoken it.

³ For I shall powre water vpon the drye grounde, & ryuers vpon the thurstye. I shall poure my sprete vpon thy sede, and myne encrease vpon thy stock.

²⁶ And wyll fede thyne enemyes with theyr awne fleshe, and make them drynke of their awne bloude, as of swete wyne. And all flessh shall knowe, O Iacob, that I am the Lorde thy sauiour, thy noble redemer.

²³ and there shalbe a newe Moone for the other, and a newe Sabbath for the other, and all fleshe shall come to worshippe before me (sayeth the Lorde)

¹⁹ And I wyll geue you one hert, and I wyll plante a newe sprete wythin your bowels. That stony herte will I take out of your body, and geue you a flesshy herte?

²⁵ Then will I poure cleare water vpon you, and ye shalbe clene: yee, from all your vnclennesse and from all your Idols shall I clense you. ²⁶ A new herte also will I geue you, and a new sprete will I put into you. As for that stony herte, I will take it out of youre body, & geue you a fleshly herte. ²⁷ I will geue my sprete amonge you & cause you to walcke in my commaundementes to kepe my lawes, and to fulfill them.

²⁹ After that, will I hyde my face nomore from them but will poure out my sprete vpon the house of Israell, sayeth the Lorde God.

¹⁴ & am come to shewe the, what shall happen vnto thy people in the latter dayes. For it wylbe longe yet or the visyon be fulfylled.

⁵ But afterwarde shall the chyldren of Israel conuerte, and seke the Lorde theyr God, and Dauid theyr kynge: & in the latter dayes they shall worshyppe the Lorde, & hys louynge kyndnesse.

¹ But in the latter dayes it will come to passe, that the hyll of the Lordes house shalbe sett vp hyer then eny mountaynes or hylles: Yee, the people shall prease vnto it,

¹³ Let all flesh be styl before the Lorde, for he is rysen oute of hys holy place.

¹⁰ Moreouer, vpon the house of Dauid and vpon the cytesyns of Ierusalem will I poure out the sprete of grace & compassion, so that they shall loke vpon me, whom they haue pearsed: & they shal bewepe him as men mourne for their only begotten sonne: yee, & be sory for him, as men are sory for their first chyld.

⁶ & all flesshe shall se the Saluacion of God.

³⁹ But this spake he of the sprete, whych they that beleue on him, shulde receaue. For the holy goost was not yet there, because Iesus was not yet glorifyed.

² as thou hast geuen him power ouer all flesh, that he shuld geue eternall lyfe to as many as thou hast geuen him.

⁴⁵ And they of the circumcisyon which beleued, were astonnied, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentils also was shed out the gyft of the holy ghost.

²⁸ And there stode vp one of them named Agabus, and sygnifyed by the sprete, that there shuld be greate derth thorow out all the world, which came to passe in the Emperoure Claudius dayes.

⁹ The same man had fower daughters virgens, which dyd prophesy.

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

²⁶ How is it then brethren? As oft as ye come together, euery one of you hath a songe, hath a doctrine, hath a tonge, hath a reuelacyon, hath an interpretacyon. Let all thinges be done vnto edifyinge: ²⁷ If eny man speake with tonge, let it be by two or at the most by thre, and that by course, and let another interprete it. ²⁸ But yf ther be no interpreter, let him kepe sylence in the congregacyon, and let him speake to him selfe and to God. ²⁹ Let the prophetes speake two, or thre, & let the other iudge. ³⁰ If eny reuelacyon be made to another that sytteth by, let the fyrst holde his peace. ³¹ For ye maye al prophesy one by one, that all maye learne, and that all maye haue comforte.

⁴ But after that the kyndnes and loue of oure saueoure God to man warde appeared, ⁵ not by the dedes of rightewesnes which we wrought, but accordynge to hys mercye he saued vs by the fountayne of the newe byrth, and renuynge of the holy goost, ⁶ which he shedd on vs abountdantly, thorowe Iesus Christ oure saueoure,

² but in these last dayes he hath spoken vnto vs by his awne sonne, whom he hath made heyre of all thynges by whom also he made the worlde.

³ Youre golde & syluer is cankred, and the rust of the shalbe a wytnes vnto you, & shall eate youre flesshe as it were fyre. Ye haue heaped treasure together in your last dayes:

³ This fyrst vnderstande, that ther shall come in the last dayes, mockers whych wyll walke after their awne lustes,

¹⁰ And as we taryed there a good mayny of dayes, there cam a certaine prophet from Iurie, named Agabus.

²¹ Art thou called a seruaunt? care not for it. Neuerthelesse yf thou mayst be fre, vse it rather. ²² For he that is called in the Lorde, beynge a seruaunt, is the Lordes freman. Lykewyse he that is called beynge fre, is Christes seruaunt.

²⁸ There is no Iewe, nether Gentyll: there is nether bonde, ner fre: there is nether man, ner woman. For ye are all one in Christ Iesu.

¹¹ where is nether Gentyle nor Iewe, circumcisyon nor vncircumcisyon, Barbarous or Sythian, bonde or fre: but Christ is all in all thinges.

³⁰ I will shewe wonders in heauen aboue and tokens in the earth beneth: bloude and fyre, and the vapoure of smoke. ³¹ The sunne shalbe turned into darckenes, and the mone into bloude: before the greate & notable daye of the Lord come.

¹⁴ For the greate daye of the Lord is at hande, it is herde by & commeth on a pace. Horrible is the tydinges of the Lordes daye, then shal the giaunte crye out: 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, ¹⁶ a daye of the noyse of trompettes & shawmes, agaynst the stronge cyties & hie towres. ¹⁷ I will bringe the people into soch vexacion, that they shal go aboute lyke blinde men, because they haue synned agaynst the Lord. Their bloude shalbe shed as the dust, & their bodies as the myre. ¹⁸ Nether their syluer ner their golde shalbe able to deliuer them in that wrothful daye of the Lorde, but the whole lande shalbe consumed thorow the fyre of his gelousy: for he shall soone make clene ryddaunce of al them that dwell in the lande.

¹ For marck, the daye commeth that shal bnrne as an ouen: and all the proude, yee, and all soch as do wyckednesse, shalbe strawe, & the daye that is for to come, shall burne them vp (saieth the Lord of hostes) so that it shal leaue them nether rote ner braunche. ² But vnto you that feare my name, shall that Sonne of ryghteousnesse aryse, and health shalbe vnder his wynges: ye shal go forth, and multiplie as the fat calues, ³ ye shal treade downe the vngodly: for they shalbe lyke the asshes vnder the soles of youre fete in the daye that I shall make, sayeth the Lorde of hoostes. ⁴ Remembre the lawe of Moses my seruaunt, whych I commytted vnto hym in Oreb for all Israell, with the statutes and ordinaunces. ⁵ Beholde, I wyll sende you Elias the prophet: before the commynge of the daye of the greate and fearefull Lorde. ⁶ He shal turne the hertes of the fathers to theyr children, and the hertes of the chyldren to their fathers, that I come not and smyte the earth with cursynge.

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: ¹³ vpon all the hygh and stoute Cedre trees of Libanus, & vpon all the okes of Basan, ¹⁴ vpon all hygh hylles, and vpon all stoute mountaynes, ¹⁵ vpon all costly towres, & vpon all stronge walles, ¹⁶ vpon all shyppes of Tharsis, and vpon euery thyng that is glorious and pleasaunt to loke vpon. ¹⁷ And it shall brynge downe the pryde of man, and laye mans presumptuousnesse full lowe, and the Lorde shall only haue the vyctory in that daye. ¹⁸ But the Idols shall vtterly be roted out. ¹⁹ Men shall crepe in to holes of stone, and into caues of the earth, for feare of the Lorde, and for the glory of hys magesty: what tyme as he shall aryse vp to condemne the earth. ²⁰ Then shall man cast awaye hys goddes of syluer, and hys goddes of gold (which he neuertheles had made to honour them) vnto Molles & Backes: ²¹ And they shall crepe in to the caues and rockes, & into the clyftes of hard stones, for feare of God, and for the glory of hys magestye, whan he ryseth to condemne the earth.

⁹ Beholde, the daye of the Lord shall come, terrible, ful of indignacion, furoure & wrath to make the lande waste, & to roote out the synners therof.

¹⁵ Who so is founde alone, shalbe shot thorow: And who so gather together, shalbe destroyed with the swerde.

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

⁸ Unto the also, O Zion, shall come the daye of the vengeaunce of God, and the yeare when thyne awne iudgmentes shalbe recompensed.

²³ I haue loked vpon the erth, and se: it was waste and voyde. I loked towarde heauen, and it had no shyne.

¹ Blowe out the trompette in Syon, and crye vpon my holy hyll, that all soche as dwell in the lande, maye tremble at it: for the daye of the Lorde commeth, and is harde at hande:

¹⁴ In the valley appoynted, there shalbe many, many people: for the daye of the Lorde is nye in the valley appoynted.

⁹ At the same tyme (sayeth the Lord God) I shall cause the Sunne to go downe at none, and the lande to be darcke in the cleare daye.

² or the thing go forth that God hath concluded, & or the tyme come wherin man shall passe awaye as the dust: or the fearfull wrath of the Lord come vpon you: ³ yee, or the daye of the Lordes sore displeasure come vpon you. Seke the Lord all yee meke harted vpon earth, ye that worcke after his iudgement: seke ryghteousnesse, seke lowlynesse: that ye maye be defended in the wrothful daye of the Lord:

⁵ Beholde, I wyll sende you Elias the prophet: before the commynge of the daye of the greate and fearefull Lorde.

²⁹ Immediatly after the tribulacyons of those dayes, shall the sonne be derkened: & the moone shall not geue her lyght, and the starres shall fall from heauen, & the powers of heauen shall be moued.

⁴⁵ From the syxte houre was there dercknes ouer all the lande vnto the nynth houre.

²⁴ Moreouer, in those dayes, after that tribulacion, the sonne shall wexe darke, and the mone shal not geue her light,

²⁵ And ther shalbe sygnes in the Sonne, and in the Moone, and in the starres: and in the erth the people shalbe at their wyttes ende, thorow dispayre. The see and the water shall roare,

⁵ to delyuer hym vnto Satan, for the destruccyon of the flesshe, that the sprete maye be saued in the daye of the Lorde Iesus.

² for ye yourselues know perfectly, that the daye of the Lord shall come, euen as a thefe in the nyght.

⁷ But the heauens and erth whych are now, be kept by hys worde in store, and reserued vnto fyre, agaynst the daye of iudgement & perdicion of vngodly men.

¹⁰ Neuerthelesse the daye of the Lord wyll come as a thefe in the nyghte, in the which daye, the heauens shall passe awaye in maner of a tempest, and the elementes shal melt with heat: the erth also & the workes that are therin, shall burne.

¹² And I behelde, when he had opened the syxt seale: & lo, ther was a great erthquake and the sunne was as blacke as sacke cloth made of heere. And the mone wexed all, euen as bloud,

⁸ And the fourth Angell powred out hys vyall on the sunne, & power was geuen vnto him to vexe men with heat of fyre.

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

³² And the tyme shall come, that whosoeuer calleth on the name of the Lorde, shalbe saued. For vpon the mounte Syon and at Ierusalem, there shalbe a saluacyon, lyke as the Lorde hath promysed: yee, and amonge the other remnaunt, whom the Lorde shall call.

¹⁹ Go ye therfore, & teach all nacions, baptising them in the name of the father, & of the sonne, & of the holy goost:

¹¹ And the Lorde sayde vnto hym: aryse, and go into the strete (whych is called strayght) and seke in the house of Iudas after one called Saul of Tharsus. For beholde, he prayeth,

¹⁵ The Lorde vnto him: go thy waye, for he is a chosen vessel vnto me, to beare my name before the Gentyls, and kynges, and the chyldren of Israel.

¹⁶ And nowe, why taryest thou? Aryse, and be baptysed, and wasshe awaye thy synnes in callyng on the name name of the Lorde.

¹² There is no difference betwene the Iewe and the Gentill. For one is Lord of all, which is ryche vnto all that call vpon him. ¹³ For whosoeuer doth call on the name of the Lord, shalbe safe.

² Unto the congregacyon of God whych is at Corynthum. To them that are sanctifyed by Christ Iesu, called saynctes, with all that call on the name of oure Lorde Iesus Chryst in euery place, ether of theirs or of oures.

¹⁶ Let vs therfore go boldely vnto the seate of grace, that we maye obtayne mercy, and fynde grace to helpe in tyme of nede.

¹⁴ Be not afrayde thou lytle worme Iacob, & thou despysed Israel: for I wyll helpe the, sayeth the Lorde, and the holy one of Israel thyne auenger.

²³ and went and dwelt in a cyte which is called Nazareth: that it might be fulfylled which was spoken by the prophetes: he shalbe called a Nazarite.

⁸ But the people that sawe it, marueyled, and gloryfyed God, which had geuen soch power vnto men.

² When Iohn beynge in preson hearde the workes of Christ, he sent two of hys dyscyples, ³ & sayde vnto hym: Art thou he that shall come: or do we loke for another. ⁴ Iesus answered and sayd vnto them: Go, and shewe Iohn agayne, what ye haue heard and sene. ⁵ The blynd receaue their sight: the lame walke, the lepers are clensed: and the deef heare, the deed are raysed vp, & the poore receaue the glad tidinges of the gospell. ⁶ And happy is he, that is not offended by me.

²⁸ But yf I cast out the deuyls by the spryte of God: then is the kingdome of God come vnto you:

²⁰ When the men were come vnto him, they sayde: Iohn baptiste sent vs vnto the, saying: Art thou he that shulde come? or shall we wayte for another? ²¹ And in that same houre he cured many of their infyrmites and plages, and of euyll spretes, and vnto many that were blynd he gaue sight. ²² And he answered, & sayd vnto them: Go your waye and bring worde agayne to Iohn, what thinges ye haue sene & heard, how that the blynde se, the halt go, the lepers are clensed, the deaff heare, the dead ryse agayne: to the poore is the glad tydinges preached, ²³ and happy is he that is not offended at me.

²⁰ But yf I, with the fynger of God cast out deuyls, no doute the kyngdome of God is come vpon you.

⁴⁵ Philip founde Nathanael, and sayeth vnto him: We haue founde hym, of whome Moses in the lawe and the Prophetes dyd wryte, Iesus the sonne of Ioseph of Nazareth.

² The same cam to Iesus by nyght, and sayde vnto him: Rabbi, we knowe that thou arte a teacher come from God: for no man coulde do suche myracles as thou doest, except God were wt him.

⁴⁸ Then sayde Iesus vnto him: excepte ye se signes & wondres, ye wyll not beleue.

¹⁷ And Iesus answered them. My father worketh hitherto, and I worke. ¹⁸ Therfore, the Iewes sought the more to kyll him, not onely because he had broken the Sabboth: but sayde also that God was hys father and made hym selfe equall with God. ¹⁹ Then answered Iesus, & sayde vnto them: verely, verely. I saye vnto you the sonne can do nothinge of him selfe, but that he seeth the father do. For whatsoeuer he doeth, that doeth the sonne also. ²⁰ For the father loueth the sonne, and sheweth hym all thinges that he hym selfe doeth. And he will shewe him greater workes then these, because ye shuld maruayle.

³⁶ But I haue greater wytnes, then the wytnes of Iohn For the worckes which the father hath geuen me to finyshe, the same workes that I do, beare wytnes of me, that the father hath sent me.

¹⁴ Then those men (when they had sene the myracle that Iesus dyd) sayd: this is of a trueth the same Prophete, that shulde come into the worlde.

²⁷ Laboure not for the meate whych perissheth, but for that whych endureth vnto euerlastinge lyfe, whych meate the sonne of man shall geue vnto you. For hym hath God the father sealed.

³¹ Many of the people beleued on hym & sayde: when Christ commeth, will he do moo myracles then these, that this man hath done?

³³ If thys man were not of God, he coulde haue done nothing.

³⁷ If I do not the worckes of my father, beleue me not.

⁴⁰ Iesus sayeth vnto her: Sayd I not vnto the, that yf thou dydest beleue, thou shuldest se the glorye of God? ⁴¹ Then they toke awaye the stone from the place where he that had bene deed, was layde. And Iesus lyft vp his eyes, and sayd: Father, I thanke the, that thou hast hearde me. ⁴² Howbeit, I knewe, that thou hearest me allwayes: but because of the people which stande by. I sayde it, that they maye beleue, that thou hast sent me.

⁴⁷ Then gathered the hye prestes & the pharises a councel, & sayd: what do we? For this man doth many miracles.

¹⁷ The people that was with hym (when he called Lazarus out of his graue, and raysed hym from death) bare recorde.

¹⁰ Beleuest thou not, that I am in the father, & the father in me? The wordes that I speake vnto you, I speake not of my self: but the father that dwelleth in me is he that doth the workes. ¹¹ Beleue me that I am in the father, & the father in me. Or els beleue me for the worckes sake.

²⁴ If I had not done amonge them the workes whych none other man dyd, they shuld haue had no synne. But now haue they both sene, & hated: not onely me but also my father.

¹⁹ And Pylate wrote a tytle, & put it on the crosse. The wrytynge was. Iesus of Nazareth kynge of the Iewes.

¹² When Peter sawe that, he answered vnto the people. Ye men of Isral, why maruayle ye at this, or why loke ye so on vs, as though by oure awne power or strength we had made thys man go?

¹⁰ be it knowen vnto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Iesus Chryst of Nazareth, whom ye crucyfyed, whom God raysed agayne from deeth: euen by him doth this man stande here present before you whoale.

¹⁴ for we heard him saye: this Iesus of Nazareth shal destroye this place, and shal chaunge the ordinaunces, which Moses gaue vs.

³⁷ Which preachynge was publisshed thorowout all Iewry (and began in Galile, after the baptyme which Iohn preached) 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.

²⁷ When they were come, and had gathered the congregacion together, they rehersed all that God had doue by them and how he had opened the dore of fayth vnto the Gentyls.

⁸ And I answered: what arte thou Lorde? And he sayde vnto me: I am Iesus of Nazareth, whom thou persecutest.

⁵ For we haue founde this man a pestilent felowe, and a mouer of debate vnto all the Iewes in the whole world, and a maynteyner of the secte of the Nazarites

⁹ I also verely thought in my selfe, that I ought to do many contrary thynges, cleane agaynst the name of Iesus of Nazareth:

²⁶ For the kynge knoweth of these thynges, before whom also I speake frely: nether thynke I that eny of these thynges are hydden from him. For thys thynge was not done in a corner.

¹² I am become a foole in boasting my selfe. Ye haue compelled me: for I ought to haue bene commended of you. For in nothynge was I inferior vnto the chefe apostles, though I be nothing,

²⁰ Ye thought euell agaynste me: but God turned it vnto good, to brynge to passe, as it is thys daye, and to saue moch people alyue.

¹⁰ The fearcenesse of man shall turne to thy prayse: and the fearcenesse of other shalt thou refrayne.

⁶ I shall sende hym amonge those ypocritish people, amonge the people that haue deserued my dysfauoures shall I send hym: that he may vtterly robbe them, spoyle them, and treade them downe lyke the myre in the strete. ⁷ Howbeit, his meanyng is not so nether thynketh his hert of thys fasshyon. But he ymagineth onely, how he may rote out and destroye moch people,

¹⁰ In the begynnynge of a thynge. I shewe the ende therof: & I tell before, thinges that are not yet come to passe. My deuice stondeth, stedfastly stablyshed, & I fulfyll all my pleasure. ¹¹ I call a byrde out of the East, & the man by whom my councell shall be fulfylled out of farre countrees, as soone as I thyncke to deuise a thynge, I do it.

³⁵ in comparyson of whom all they that dwell vpon the earth, are to be reputed as nothynge. He handleth according to his will, among the powers of heauen & amonge the inhabitours of the earth: and there is none that maye resyste his hande, or saye: what doest thou?

²⁴ .Lxx. wekes are determed ouer thy people, and ouer the holy cytie: that the wyckednes maye be consumed, that the synne may haue an ende, that the offence maye be reconciled, and to brynge in euerlastinge ryghteousnesse, to fulfyll the visyons and the prophetes, and to anoynte the moost holy one. ²⁵ Understande this then, and marcke it well: that from the tyme it shalbe concluded to go and repayre Ierusalem agayne, vnto Christ (or the anoynted) prince: there shalbe seuen wekes: Then shall the stretes and walles be buylded agayne .lxij. wekes, but with harde troublous tyme. ²⁶ After these .lxij. wekes, shall Christ be slayne, and they shall haue no pleasure in hym. Then shall there come a people with the Prince, and destroye the cyte & the Sanctuary: and hys ende shall come as the water floude. But the desolacyon shall contynue tyll the ende of the battell. ²⁷ He shall make a stronge bonde with many, for the space of a weke: & when the weke is halfe gone, he shall put downe the slayne and meatoffringe. And in the temple there shalbe an abhominable desolacyon, tyll it haue destroyed all. And it is concluded, that this wastynge shall contynue vnto the ende.

²⁴ The sonne of man truly goeth, as it is written of him: but wo vnto that man, by whom the sonne of man is betrayed. It had bene good for that man, if he had not bene borne.

²⁰ But the chefe prestes and the elders persuaded the people, that they shulde aske Barrabas, and destroye Iesus. ²¹ The debite answered, and sayde vnto them: whether of the twayne, will ye, that I let loosse vnto you? They sayd: Barrabas. ²² Pilate sayde vnto them: what shall I do then with Iesus whych is called Christ? They all sayd vnto him: let him be crucifyed. ²³ The debite sayde: what euyll hath he done? But they cryed the more, sayinge: let him be crucifyed. ²⁴ When Pilate sawe that he coulde preuayle nothinge, but that more busynes was made, he toke water, and wasshed hys handes before the people, sayinge: I am innocent of the bloud of this iust person, ye shall se. ²⁵ Then answered all the people, and sayd his bloud be on vs, and on oure children.

²² And trulye the sonne of man goeth, as it is apoynted: But wo vnto that man, by whom he is betrayed.

³⁷ For I saye vnto you, that yet the same whych is wrytten, must be performed in me: euen among the wycked was he reputed. For those thynges whych are wrytten of me, haue an ende.

²⁰ and how the hye Prestes, and oure rulers delyuered hym to be condempned to deeth: & haue crucyfyed hym.

⁴⁴ And he sayde vnto them. These are the wordes whych I spake vnto you, whyll I was yet with you: that all must nedes be fulfylled, whych were wrytten of me in the lawe of Moses and in the Prophetes, and in the Psalmes. ⁴⁵ Then opened he theyr wyttes, that they myght vnderstand the scryptures, ⁴⁶ and sayde vnto them: Thus is it wrytten, and thus it behoued Christ to suffre, and to ryse agayne from deeth the thyrde daye,

²⁴ They sayd therfore amonge them selues: Lett vs not deuyde it, but cast lotes for it, who shall haue it. That the scrypture myght be fulfylled, sayinge: They parted my rayment amonge them, and for my coate dyd they cast lotes. And the soudiers dyd soch thynges in dede.

³¹ The Iewes therfore because it was the preparing of the Sabboth, that the bodyes shuld not remayne vpon the crosse on the sabboth daye (for that sabboth daye was an hye daye) besought Pilate, that their legges might be broken and that they might be taken downe. ³² Then came the soudiers, and brake the legges of the fyrst, and of the other which was crucyfied with him. ³³ But when they came to Iesus: and sawe that he was deed already, they brake not his legges: ³⁴ but one of the soudiers wt a speare, thrust him into the syde, and forth with came ther out bloude and water. ³⁵ And he that sawe it, bare recorde, & hys record is true. And he knoweth that he sayth true, that ye might beleue also. ³⁶ For these thinges were done, that the scripture shulde be fulfylled. Ye shall not breake a bone of him. ³⁷ And agayne another scripture sayeth: they shal loke on him, whom they pearsed.

¹³ The God of Abraham, and of Isaac and of Iacob, the God of oure fathers hath glorified hys sonne Iesus, whom ye delyuered, and denyed in the presence of Pylate, when he had iudged hym to be loosed. ¹⁴ But ye denyed the holy and iust, and desyred a mortherar to be geuen you, ¹⁵ and kylled the Lorde of lyfe, whom God hath raysed from deeth, of the which we are witnesses.

¹⁸ But God (which before had shewed, by the mouth of all hys Prophetes, howe that Chryst shuld suffre) hath thus wyse fulfylled.

¹⁰ be it knowen vnto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Iesus Chryst of Nazareth, whom ye crucyfyed, whom God raysed agayne from deeth: euen by him doth this man stande here present before you whoale. ¹¹ This is the stone which was cast asyde of you buylders, which is become the chefe of the corner.

²⁸ for to do whatsoeuer thy hande and thy counsell determyned before to be done.

³⁰ The God of oure fathers raysed vp Iesus, whom ye slewe, and hanged on tre.

⁵² Which of the prophetes haue not your fathers persecuted? And they haue slaine them which shewed before of the comming of that Iust, whom ye haue nowe betrayd, and murdred.

²⁷ For the inabiters of Ierusalem and theyr rulers, because they knew him not, nor yet the voyces of the prophetes which are redde euery Saboth daye, they haue fulfylled them, in condempnynge him.

¹⁸ knowen vnto God are all hys workes from the begynning of the world.

¹⁷ (As it is wrytten: I haue made the a father of many nacyons) euen before God, whom he beleued, whych restoreth the deed vnto lyfe: and calleth those thynges whych be not, as though they were.

³³ O the depnes of the ryches both of the wysdome and knowledge of God: how vnsercheable are his iudgementes, & his wayes past fyndynge out; ³⁴ For who hath knowen the mynde of the Lorde? Or who hath bene hys counseller? ³⁵ other who hath geuen vnto hym fyrst, and he shalbe recompensed agayne? ³⁶ For of hym, and thorow hym, and for hym are all thynges: To hym be glorye for euer. Amen.

² accordyng to the for knowledge of God the farthe thorow the sanctifynge of the sprete vnto obedience & sprincklyng of the bloude of Iesus Chryst. Grace be wyth you and peace be multiplyed.

²⁰ whych was ordeyned before hande, euen before the worlde was made: but was declared in the last tymes for your sakes,

⁸ and a stone that men stomble at, and a rocke wherat they be offended whych stomble at the worde, and beleue not that, wheron they were set.

⁴ For ther are certayne vngodly men craftely crept in, of which it was written afore tyme vnto such iudgement. They turne the grace of oure God vnto wantannes, and denye God (which is the onely Lorde) and oure Lorde Iesus Christ.

⁸ and all that dwell vpon the erth worshypt hym: whose names are not written in the boke of lyfe of the lambe, which was kylled from the begynnynge of the worlde.

³ The snares of death compased me round about, and the paynes of hell gat hold vpon me, ⁴ I shall fynde trouble and heuynesse, and I shall call vpon the name of the Lorde (O Lord) I besech the delyuer my soule.

¹⁶ and the sonne of thy handmayde, thou hast broken my bondes in sonder.

⁸ As for death, he hath destroyed it for euer. And the Lorde God shall wype awaye teares from all faces, and the rebuke of his people shall he take a waie out of all the earth. For so the Lorde hath sayde.

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.

¹⁰ Yet hath it pleased the Lorde thus to bruste hym wyth plages, and to smyte hym wyth infyrmite, that when he had made his soule an offeryng for synne, he myght se longe lastynge sede. And thys deuyce of the Lorde shall prospere in hys hande.

¹⁴ had not I defended hym from the graue, and delyuered hym from death. O death, I will be thy death: O hell, I wyll be thy kynge.

⁶³ sayeng: Syr, we remembre, that this deceauer sayde whyle he was yet alyue. After thre dayes I wyll aryse agayne.

¹ But vpon the fyrst daye of the Sabbothes, very early in the mornynge, they came vnto the sepulcre, and brought the swete odoures whych they had prepared, and other wemen wyth them. ² And they founde the stone rowled awaye from the sepulcre, ³ and they went in: but founde not the body of the Lorde Iesu. ⁴ And it happened, as they were amased therat, Beholde, two men stode by them in shynynge garmentes. ⁵ And as they were afrayde, and bowed doune theyr faces to the erth, they sayde vnto them: why seke ye the lyuynge amonge the deed? ⁶ He is not here: but is rysen. Remember, how he spake vnto you, when he was yet in Galile, ⁷ sayinge: that the sonne of man must be delyuered into the handes of synfull men, and be crucyfyed, and the thyrde daye ryse agayne. ⁸ And they remembred hys wordes, ⁹ & returned from the sepulcre, & tolde all these thynges vnto those eleuen, & to all the remnaunt. ¹⁰ It was Mary Magdalen, & Ioanna, and Mary Iacobi, and other that were wyth them, whych tolde these thynges vnto the Apostles. ¹¹ And theyr wordes semed vnto them fayned thynges, nether beleued they them. ¹² Then arose Peter and ran vnto the sepulchre, and loked in, and sawe the lynnen clothes layde by them selfe, and departed, wondrynge in hym selfe at that whych had happened. ¹³ And beholde, two of them went that same daye to a towne (called Emaus) which was from Ierusalem about thre skore forlonges, ¹⁴ and they talked together of all these thynges that had happened. ¹⁵ And it chaunsed, that whyle they communed together and reasoned, Iesus hym selfe drue neare, and went wyth them. ¹⁶ But theyr eyes were holden, that they shulde not knowe hym. ¹⁷ And he sayde vnto them: What maner of communycacyons are these that ye haue one to another, as ye walke, and are sadd? ¹⁸ And the one of them (whose named was Cleophas) answered, and sayde to hym: art thou onely a straunger in Ierusalem, and hast not knowen the thynges whych haue chaunsed there, in these dayes? ¹⁹ He sayde vnto them: what thynges? And they sayd vnto hym: of Iesus of Nazareth, whych was a Prophet, myghtye in dede and worde before God and all the people: ²⁰ and how the hye Prestes, and oure rulers delyuered hym to be condempned to deeth: & haue crucyfyed hym. ²¹ But we trusted that it had bene he whych shuld haue redemed Israel. And as touchynge all these thynges, to daye is euen the thyrd daye, that they were done. ²² Yee, and certayne wemen also of oure company made vs astonnyed, which came early vnto the sepulchre, ²³ and founde not hys body: and came, sayinge, that they had sene a visyon of angels, whych sayd that he was alyue. ²⁴ And certayne of them whych were wyth vs, went to the sepulchre, and founde it euen so as the wemen had sayde: but hym they sawe not. ²⁵ And he sayde vnto them: O fooles & slowe of herte, to beleue all that the Prophetes haue spoken. ²⁶ Ought not Chryst to haue suffred these thynges, and to enter into hys glory? ²⁷ And he began at Moses, and all the Prophetes, & interpreted vnto them in all scriptures whych were wrytten of hym. ²⁸ And they drue nye vnto the towne, whych they went vnto. And he made, as though he wold haue gone further. ²⁹ And they constrayned hym sayinge: abyde wyth vs, for it draweth towardes nyght, and the daye is farre passed. And he went into tary wyth them. ³⁰ And it came to passe, as he sate at meate wyth them, he toke bread, and blessed it, and brake, and gaue to them. ³¹ And their eyes were opened, and they knewe hym: and he vanysshed out of their syght. ³² And they sayd betwene them selues: dyd not oure hertes burne wyth in vs, whyll he talked wyth vs by the waye, and opened to vs the scryptures? ³³ And they rose vp, the same houre, and returned agayne to Ierusalem, and founde the eleuen gathered together, and them that were wyth them, ³⁴ saying: the Lorde is rysen in dede, & hath apered to Symon. ³⁵ And they tolde, what thynges were done in the waye, and how they knewe hym, in breakynge of bread. ³⁶ As they thus spake Iesus hym selfe stode in the myddes of them, and sayeth vnto them: peace be vnto you. ³⁷ But they were abasshed and afrayde, & supposyd that they had sene a sprete. ³⁸ And he sayde vnto them: why are ye troubled, and why do thoughtes aryse in youre hertes? ³⁹ Beholde my handes and my fete, that it is euen I my selfe. Handle me and se: for a sprete hath not flesshe and bones, as ye se me haue. ⁴⁰ And when he had thus spoken, he shewed them hys handes and hys fete. ⁴¹ And whyll they yet beleued not for ioye, and wondred, he sayd vnto them: Haue ye here eny meate? ⁴² And they offred hym a pece of a broyled fysshe, and of an hony combe. ⁴³ And he toke it, and dyd eate before them. ⁴⁴ And he sayde vnto them. These are the wordes whych I spake vnto you, whyll I was yet with you: that all must nedes be fulfylled, whych were wrytten of me in the lawe of Moses and in the Prophetes, and in the Psalmes. ⁴⁵ Then opened he theyr wyttes, that they myght vnderstand the scryptures, ⁴⁶ and sayde vnto them: Thus is it wrytten, and thus it behoued Christ to suffre, and to ryse agayne from deeth the thyrde daye, ⁴⁷ & that repentaunce and remyssyon of synnes shulde be preached in hys name amonge all nacyons, and must begynne at Ierusalem. ⁴⁸ And ye are wytnesses of these thynges. ⁴⁹ And beholde, I will sende the promes of my father vpon you. But tary ye in the cytie of Ierusalem, vntyll ye be endewed wyth power from an hye. ⁵⁰ And he led them out into Bethany, and lyfte vp hys handes, and blessed them. ⁵¹ And it cam to passe, as he blessed them, he departed from them, and was caryed vp into heauen. ⁵² And they worshypped hym, and returned to Ierusalem wyth greate ioye, ⁵³ and were contynually in the temple praysynge & laudynge God, Amen.

¹⁹ Iesus answered & sayde vnto them: destroye thys temple, and in thre dayes I wyll reare it vp. ²⁰ Then sayde the Iewes .xlvj. yeres was thys temple a byldynge: & wylt thou reare it vp in thre dayes? ²¹ But he spake of the temple of his body.

¹⁸ No man taketh it from me: but I put it awaye of my self. I haue power to put it from me, and I haue power to take it agayne. Thys commaundement haue I receaued of my father.

³⁵ If he called them goddes, vnto whom the word of God was spoken (and the scripture cannot be broken

³⁹ Therfore could they not beleue, because that Esaias saith agayne:

⁹ For as yet they knew not the scripture, that he shulde ryse agayne from deeth.

¹⁶ Ye men & brethren, thys scripture must haue nedes ben fulfylled, which the holy goost thorowe the mouth of Dauid spake before of Iudas, which was gyde to them that toke Iesus.

³² This Iesus hath God raysed vp, wherof we all are witnesses.

¹⁵ and kylled the Lorde of lyfe, whom God hath raysed from deeth, of the which we are witnesses.

²⁶ Fyrst whan God had raysed vp hys sonne Iesus vnto you, he sent him to blesse you, that euery one of you shulde turne from his wyckednes.

⁴⁰ Him God raysed vp the thyrd daye, & shewed him openly, ⁴¹ not to all the people, but vnto vs witnesses (chosen before of God for the same intent) which dyd eate & dryncke wt him, after he arose from deeth.

³⁰ But God raysed him agayne from death,

³³ God hath fulfilled vnto their children (euen vnto vs) in that he raysed vp Iesus agayne. euen as it is writen in the fyrst psalme: Thou art my sonne, this daye haue I begoten the. ³⁴ As concernynge that he raysed him vp from death, now nomore to returne to corrupcion he sayd on thys wyse: The holy promyses made to Dauid, wyl I geue faythfully to you.

³⁷ But he whom God raysed agayn sawe no corrupcyon.

³¹ because he hath appoynted a daye, in the which he will iudge the world wt ryghte wesnes, by that man by whom he hath appoynted, & hath offered fayth to all men, after that he had raysed him from deeth.

²⁴ but also for vs, to whom it shalbe counted so that we beleue on hym, that raysed vp Iesus oure Lorde from the deed:

⁴ We are buryed then with him by baptyme, for to dye: that lyke wyse as Christ was raysed vp from deeth by the glorye of the father, euen so we also shulde walke in a newe lyfe.

¹¹ Wherfore, yf the spryte of hym that raysed vp Iesus from deeth, dwell in you: euen he that raysed vp Chryst from deeth, shall quycken youre mortall bodyes, because of hys sprete that dwelleth in you.

³⁴ who is he that can condempne? it is Chryst which dyed, yee, rather which is rysen agayne, which is also on the ryght hande of God, and maketh intercessyon for us.

⁹ For yf thou knowledge with thy mouth that Iesus is the Lorde, & beleue in thyne hert, that God raysed hym vp from deeth, thou shalt be safe.

⁹ For Christ therfore dyed, and rose agayne, and reuyued, that he myght be Lorde of deed and quycke.

¹⁴ God hath raysed vp the Lorde, and shall rayse vs vp by hys power.

¹² If Christ be preached how that he rose from the deed: how saye some amonge you, that ther is no resurreccyon of the deed:

¹⁵ Ye and we are founde false wytnesses of God. For we haue testifyed of God, how that he raysed vp Christ: whom he raysed not vp, yf it be so that the deed ryse not agayne.

¹⁴ For we knowe, that he which raysed vp the Lorde Iesus, shall rayse vp vs also by the meanes of Iesus, & shall sett vs with you.

¹ Paul an apostle, not of men, nether by man: but by Iesus Christ, and by God the father, which raysed him vp from deeth:

²⁰ which he wrought in Christ, when he raysed him from the deed, and set him on his ryght hande in heauenly thinges,

¹² in that ye are buried with hym thorowe bapti me, in whom ye are also rysen agayne thorowe fayth, that is wrought by the operacyon of God which raysed him from deeth.

¹⁰ and for to loke for hys sonne from heauen, whom he raysed from deeth: euen Iesus, whych delyuereth vs from the wrath to come.

¹⁴ For as moch then as the chyldren are partetakers of flesshe and bloud, he also him selfe lykewyse toke parte with them that (thorowe deeth) he myght expell hym that had lordshyppe ouer deeth, that is to saye the deuyll,

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

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

⁸ I wyll thanke the Lorde for geuynge me warnynge: my reynes also chasten me in the nyght season. ⁹ I haue set God alwayes before me, for he is on my right hande, therfore I shall not fall. ¹⁰ Wherfore my hert was glad, & my glory reioysed, my flesh also shall rest in hope. ¹¹ For why? thou shalt not leaue my soule in hell, nether shalt thou suffre thy holy one to se corrupcion. Thou shalt shewe me the path of lyfe: in thy presence is the fulnesse of ioye, and at thy ryght hande ther is pleasure for euermore.

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.

⁶ And in my prosperyte, I sayde: I shall neuer be remoued: thou Lorde of thy goodnesse hadest made my hill so stronge.

² He verely is my strength, and my saluacion: He is my defence, so that I shall not greatly fall.

⁶ He truly is my strength, and my saluacion: he is my defence: so that I shall not fall.

²³ Neuerthelesse, I am all waye by the, for thou hast holden me by my right hande.

³¹ For he shall stand at the ryght hand of the poore, to saue his soule from vnryghteous iudges.

⁵ The Lorde vpon thy ryght hande, shall wounde euen kynges in the daye of his wrath.

¹³ For I thy Lorde and God will strengthen thy ryght hand. Euen I that saye vnto the. Feare not. I wyll helpe the

⁷ & the Lord God shall helpe me: therfore shall I not be confounded. I haue hardened my face like a flynt stone, for I am sure, that I shall not come to confusion. 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. ⁹ Beholde, the Lorde God standeth by me, what is he then that can condempne me? lo, they shalbe all like as an olde clothe, the mothe shall eate them vp.

³² Behold, the houre draweth nye, and is all ready come, that ye shalbe scatered euery man to his awne, & shal leaue me alone. And yet am I not alone. For the father is with me.

²⁹ Ye men and brethren, let me frely speake vnto you of the patriarke Dauid: For he is both deed and buryed, and hys sepulchre remayneth with vs vnto this daye. ³⁰ Therfore, seinge he was a Prophet, and knewe that God had sworne with an othe to him, that Christ (as concerninge the flessh) shulde come of the frute of his loynes, and on hys seat,

³² And we declare vnto you, how that the promesse (whych was made vnto the fathers) ³³ God hath fulfilled vnto their children (euen vnto vs) in that he raysed vp Iesus agayne. euen as it is writen in the fyrst psalme: Thou art my sonne, this daye haue I begoten the. ³⁴ As concernynge that he raysed him vp from death, now nomore to returne to corrupcion he sayd on thys wyse: The holy promyses made to Dauid, wyl I geue faythfully to you. ³⁵ Wherfore, he sayeth also in another place. Thou shalt not suffre thyne holy to se corrupcyon. ³⁶ For Dauid (after he had in hys tyme fulfylled the wyll of God) fell on slepe, and was layde vnto hys fathers, and sawe corrupcyon.

⁹ I haue set God alwayes before me, for he is on my right hande, therfore I shall not fall.

²² I wyll declare thy name vnto my brethren: in the myddest of the congregacion wyll I prayse the. ²³ O prayse the Lorde ye that feare him: Magnifye hym all ye of the sede of Iacob, & feare him all ye sede of Israel. ²⁴ For he hath not despysed ner abhorred the lowe estate of the poore he hath not hyd hys face from hym, but when he called vnto him, he harde him.

¹¹ Heare, O Lorde, and haue mercy vpon me: Lorde be thou my helper.

⁵ As longe as I lyue will I magnyfye the on this maner, and lyft vp my handes in thy name.

²³ My tonge also shall talke of thy ryghteousnesse all the daye longe,

²⁵ For I am sure, that my redemer lyueth, and that I hall ryse out of the earth in the latter daye: ²⁶ that I shall be clothed agayne with this skynne, and se God in my flesh. ²⁷ Yee, I my selfe shall beholde him, not with other, but with these same eyes. My reynes are consumed within me:

¹⁵ But God shall delyuer my soule from the place of hell, for he shall receaue me. Sela.

¹³ For great is thy mercy towarde me and thou hast delyuered my soule from the nethermost hell.

¹⁹ For the Lord is oure defence, The holy one of Israel is oure kynge.

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

⁶ The waters compased me, euen to the very soule: the depe laye aboute me, & the wedes were wrapte aboute myne head.

²³ And thou Capernaum, which art lyft vp vnto heuen, shalt be brought downe to hell. For yf the miracles which haue bene done in the, had bene shewed in Zodom: they had remayned vntill this daye.

²⁴ sayinge: Alas, what haue we to do with the thou Iesus of Nazareth? Art thou come to destroye vs? I knowe the what thou art euen that holy one of God.

³⁵ And the angell answered, & sayde vnto her. The holy goost shall come vpon the, and the power of the hyest shall ouer shaddowe the. Therfore also that holy thynge which shalbe borne, shalbe called the sonne of God.

³⁴ sayenge: let me alone, what hast thou to do with vs, thou Iesus of Nazareth? Art thou come to destroye vs? I knowe the what thou art, euen the holy of God.

²³ And beynge in hell in tormentes, he lyfte vp hys eyes and sawe Abraham a farre of and Lazarus in hys bosome,

³⁹ Iesus sayd: take ye awaye the stone. Martha the sister of him that was deed, sayd vnhym: Lorde, by this tyme he styncketh. For he hath bene deed foure dayes.

³¹ he knowyng this before, spake of the resurreccyon of Chryst, that his soule shulde not be left in hell: nether hys flesshe shulde se corrupcyon.

¹⁴ But ye denyed the holy and iust, and desyred a mortherar to be geuen you,

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

²⁷ For the inabiters of Ierusalem and theyr rulers, because they knew him not, nor yet the voyces of the prophetes which are redde euery Saboth daye, they haue fulfylled them, in condempnynge him. ²⁸ And when they founde no cause of deeth in hym, yet desyred they Pylate to kyll hym. ²⁹ And whan they had fulfylled all that were wryten of him, they toke him downe from the tree, and put hym in a sepulchre. ³⁰ But God raysed him agayne from death, ³¹ and he was sene many dayes of them whych came vp with hym from Galile to Ierusalem: Which are hys wytnesses vnto the people. ³² And we declare vnto you, how that the promesse (whych was made vnto the fathers) ³³ God hath fulfilled vnto their children (euen vnto vs) in that he raysed vp Iesus agayne. euen as it is writen in the fyrst psalme: Thou art my sonne, this daye haue I begoten the. ³⁴ As concernynge that he raysed him vp from death, now nomore to returne to corrupcion he sayd on thys wyse: The holy promyses made to Dauid, wyl I geue faythfully to you. ³⁵ Wherfore, he sayeth also in another place. Thou shalt not suffre thyne holy to se corrupcyon. ³⁶ For Dauid (after he had in hys tyme fulfylled the wyll of God) fell on slepe, and was layde vnto hys fathers, and sawe corrupcyon. ³⁷ But he whom God raysed agayn sawe no corrupcyon.

⁵² and that in a moment, in the twyncklynge of an eye by the last trompe. For the trompe shall blowe, and the deed shall ryse incorruptible, & we shalbe chaunged.

⁵⁵ Deeth is swalowed vp in victory: Deeth where is thy stynge? Hell where is thy victory?

²⁰ Neuerthelesse, ye haue an oyntment of him that is holy, and ye knowe all thinges.

⁷ And wryte vnto the angell of the congregacion of Phyladelphia: this sayth he that is holy and true, which hath the keye of Dauid: whych openeth and no man shutteth, and shutteth, & no man openeth.

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.

⁶ There be many that saye: who wyll shewe vs any good? Lorde lyfte thou vp the lyght of thy countenaunce vpon vs. ⁷ Thou hast putt gladnesse in myne herte, sence the tyme that theyr corne & wyne increased.

¹¹ For why? thou shalt not leaue my soule in hell, nether shalt thou suffre thy holy one to se corrupcion. Thou shalt shewe me the path of lyfe: in thy presence is the fulnesse of ioye, and at thy ryght hande ther is pleasure for euermore.

¹⁵ They haue children at their desyre: & leaue the reste of theyr substaunce for theyr babes. But as for me, I wyll beholde thy presence in righteousnes: & when I awake vp after thy lykenes, I shalbe satisfyed with it.

⁴ He asked lyfe of the, and thou gauest him a longe lyfe, euen for euer and euer.

⁶ For thou shalt geue hym euerlastynge felycite, & make hym glad with the ioye of thy countenaunce.

⁴ Shewe me thy wayes, O Lord, & teache me thy pathes.

⁵ Put thy trust in God, for I wyll yet geue hym thankes, for the help of hys countenaunce.

¹⁹ All they that go in vnto her come not agayn, nether take they holde of the waye of lyfe.

²⁰ I wyll guyde the in the waye of ryghteousnes, and in the strete of iudgement.

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. ²⁶ And whosoeuer lyueth and beleueth on me, shall neuer dye: Beleuest thou this?

⁶ Iesus sayeth vnto hym: I am the waye and the treuth, and the lyfe. No man cometh vnto the father, but by me.

² lookyng vnto Iesus the captayne & finissher of our fayth, which (for the ioye that was set before him) abode the crosse, & despised the shame, & is set downe on the ryghte hande of the throne of God.

¹⁰ And so Dauid slepte with hys fathers, and was buryed in the cytie of Dauid.

¹⁶ After him buylded Nehemiah the sonne of Afbok, the ruler of the halfe parte of Bethzur, vntyll the other syde ouer agaynst the sepulchres of Dauid, and to the pole that was repayred, and vnto the house of the myghtie.

⁸ And he gaue him the couenaunt of circuncisyon. And he begat Isaac, and circumcised him the eight daye, and Isaac begat Iacob, and Iacob begat the twelue patriarckes. ⁹ And the patriarkes hauing indygnacyon solde Ioseph into Egypte. And God was with hym,

³⁶ For Dauid (after he had in hys tyme fulfylled the wyll of God) fell on slepe, and was layde vnto hys fathers, and sawe corrupcyon.

⁴ Consyder what a man this was, vnto whom also the patriarke Abraham gaue tythes of the spoyles.

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. ¹² And when thy dayes he fulfilled, thou shalt slepe wyth thy fathers, and I wyll set vp thy seede after the, which shall procead out of thy bodye, & will stablyshe his kyngdome. ¹³ He shall bylde an house for my name, & I wyll stablyshe the seate of his kyngdome for euer. ¹⁴ I wylbe his father, and he shalbe my sonne: yf he synne, I wyll chasten hym wyth soche a rodde as men be chastened wt, & wt soche plages as the children of men be plaged wt. ¹⁵ But my mercie shal not depart awaye from him, as I toke it from Saul, whom I put downe before the. ¹⁶ And thyne house and thy kyngdome shall endure wt out ende after the, and thy seate shalbe stablyshed foreuer.

¹¹ Thys also shall come to passe: when thy dayes be expired, that thou must go vnto thy fathers, I wyll rayse vp thy sead after the which shalbe of thy sonnes, and I wyll prepare for hym the kyngdome. ¹² He shall buylde me an house, and I wyll stablishe his seate for euer ¹³ I wylbe hys father, and he shalbe my sonne, and I wyll not take my mercy awaye from hym, as I toke it from hym that was before the. ¹⁴ But I wyll sett hym in myne house and in my kyngdome for euer, and hys seate shalbe sure for euermore ¹⁵ According to all these wordes, and accordyng to all thys visyon, dyd Nathan tell kinge Dauid.

⁶ Yet haue I set my kynge vpon my holy hyll of Syon. ⁷ I wyll preach the lawe, wherof the Lorde hath sayd vnto me: thou arte my sonne, thys daye haue I begotten the. ⁸ Desyre of me, and I shall geue the, the Heythen for thyne enheritaunce, & the vtmost partes of the erthe for thy possessyon. ⁹ Thou shalt bruse them with a rodd of yron, and breake them in peces lyke a potters vessell. ¹⁰ Be wyse nowe therfore, O ye kinges, be warned, ye that are iudges of the earth. ¹¹ Serue the Lorde in feare, and reioyse. with reuerence. ¹² Kysse the sonne, lest he be angrye, & so ye perysshe from the waye, yf his wrath be kyndled (yee but a lytle) blessed are all they that put theyr trust in hym.

¹ For Salomon. Geue the kynge thy iudgementes (O God) and thy righteousnesse vnto the kynges sonne. ² Then shall he iudge thy people accordinge vnto right, and defende the poore. ³ The mountaynes also shall brynge peace, and the lytle hilles righteousnesse vnto the people. ⁴ He shall kepe the symple folke by their ryght, defende the chyldren of the poore, and punish the wronge doer. ⁵ They shall feare the as long as the sonne and mone endureth, from one generacion to another. ⁶ He shall come downe like the rayne into a flese of wolle, euen as the droppes that water the earth. ⁷ In his tyme shall the ryghteous florish, yee, and aboundaunce of peace, so longe as the mone endureth, ⁸ His dominion shalbe also from the one see to the other, and from the floud vnto the worldes ende. ⁹ They that dwell in the wildernes shall knele before him, his enemies shall licke the dust. ¹⁰ The kynges of Tharsis and of the Iles shall geue presentes, the kynges of Araby and Saba shall bring gyftes. ¹¹ All kinges shal fall downe before him: all nacions shall do him seruice. ¹² For he shall delyuer the poore when he cryeth: the neady also and him that hath no helper. ¹³ He shalbe fauorable to the simple and neady: and shall preserue the soules of the poore. ¹⁴ He shall delyuer their soules from falshede and wronge, and deare shall theyr bloud be in his syght. ¹⁵ He shall lyue, & vnto him shalbe geuen of the golde of Arabia: Prayer shalbe made euer vnto him, and daylie shall he be praysed. ¹⁶ There shalbe an heape of corne in the earth hye vpon the hylles, his frute shall shake lyke Libanus, and shalbe grene in the cite, like grasse vpon the earth. ¹⁷ His name shall endure for euer, his name shall remayne vnder the sunne amonge the posterites, which shalbe blessed thorow him, and all the Heathen shall prayse him ¹⁸ Blessed be the Lorde God, euen the God of Israell which onely doth wonderous thinges. ¹⁹ And blessed be the name of hys maiesty for euer, and all the erth shalbe filled with his maiestye. Amen, Amen.

³ I haue made a couenaunt wyth my chosen, I haue sworne vnto Dauid my seruaunt. ⁴ Thy sede wyll I stablysh for euer, and set vp thy trone from one generacyon to another. Selah.

¹⁹ For the Lord is oure defence, The holy one of Israel is oure kynge. ²⁰ Thou spakest somtyme in vysyons vnto thy saynctes, and saydest: I haue layed helpe vpon one that is myghty, I haue exalted one chosen out of the people. ²¹ I haue founde Dauid my seruaunt: with my holy oyle haue I anoynted him. ²² My hand shall holde hym fast, and myne arme shall strengthen hym: ²³ The enemye shall not be able to do hym violence, the sonne of wickednesse shall not hurte hym. ²⁴ I shall smyte downe hys foes before hys face, and plage them that hate hym. ²⁵ My trueth also and my mercy shalbe wyth hym, and in my name shall hys horne be exalted. ²⁶ I wyll set hys dominion also in the see, and hys ryght hande in the floudes. ²⁷ He shall call me: thou art my father, my God, & my stronge saluacion. ²⁸ And I wyll make hym my fyrst borne, hyer then the kynges of the earth. ²⁹ My mercy wyll I kepe for hym for euermore, & my couenaunt shall stande fast wyth hym. ³⁰ Hys sede also wyll I make to endure for euer, and hys trone as the dayes of heauen. ³¹ But yf hys chyldren forsake my lawe, and walke not in my iudgementes. ³² If they breake my statutes and kepe not my commaundementes. ³³ I wyll vyset theyr offences with the rod and theyr synne wyth scourges. ³⁴ Neuerthelesse, my louynge kyndnesse will I not vtterly take from hym, ner suffre my trueth to fayle. ³⁵ My couenaunt wyll I not breake, nor alter the thinge that is gone out of my lyppes. ³⁶ I haue sworne once by my holynesse, that I wyll not fayle Dauid. ³⁷ Hys sede shall endure for euer, and hys seate is lyke as the sunne before me.

¹ A Psalme of Dauid. The Lorde sayde vnto my Lorde: Syt thou on my ryght hand, vntill I make thine enemyes thy fotestole. ² The Lord shall sende the rodde of thy power out of Sion, be thou ruler euen in the myddest among thyne enemyes. ³ In the daye of thy power shall thy people offre the frewyll offrynges wt an holy worshippe, the dewe of thy byrth is of the wombe of the mornyng. ⁴ The Lord sware, & wyll not repent: Thou art a prest for euer after the order of Melchisedec. ⁵ The Lorde vpon thy ryght hande, shall wounde euen kynges in the daye of his wrath.

¹¹ The Lorde hath made a faythfull othe vnto Dauid, & he shall not shryncke from it: ¹² Of the frute of thy body shall I set vpon thy seate. ¹³ If thy chyldren wyll kepe my couenaunt, and my testimonyes that I shall lerne them: theyr chyldren also shall syt vpon thy seate for euermore. ¹⁴ For the Lord hath chosen Sion, to be an habitacion for him selfe hath he longed for her. ¹⁵ This shalbe my rest for euer, here wyll I dwell, for I haue a delyte therin. ¹⁶ I wyll blesse her vytaylles wyth increasse, & will satisfye her poore wyth bread. ¹⁷ I will decke her Preastes wt health, and her saynctes shall reioyse and synge. ¹⁸ There shall I make the horne of Dauid to florysh, I haue ordened a lanterne for myne anoynted. As for hys enemyes, I shall clothe them wyth shame, but vpon hym selfe shall hys crowne floryshe.

¹⁴ And therfore the Lord shall geue you a token: Behold, a vyrgin shall conceaue and beare a sonne, and (thou hys mother) shalt cal his name Emanuel.

⁶ For vnto vs a chylde is borne, & vnto vs a sonne is geuen. Upon hys shoulder doth the kyngdome lye, and he is called wt hys awne name: wonderfull. The geuer of councell, the myghtye God, the euerlasting father, the prince of peace, ⁷ he shall make no ende to encrease the kyngdome & peace, & shall syt vpon the seate of Dauid & in his kyngdome, to set vp the same, & to stablish it wt equyte and ryghteousnesse, from hence forth for euermore. Thys shall the gelousy of the Lorde of Hostes brynge to passe.

⁵ Beholde, the tyme commeth, sayeth the Lorde, that I wyll rayse vp the ryghteous braunche of Dauid, which kynge shall beare rule, and he shall prosper with wysedome, & shall set vp equite & righteousnes agayne in the erth. ⁶ In this tyme shall Iuda be saued, and Israell shall dwell without feare. And this is the name that they shal call him: euen the Lorde oure ryghteousnesse.

¹⁴ Beholde, the tyme commeth, sayeth the Lorde, that I will perfourme that good thynge, which I haue promised vnto the house of Israel and to the house of Iuda. ¹⁵ In those dayes and at the same tyme, I wyll bring forth vnto Dauid, the braunche of ryghtuousnes, & he shall do equytie & righteousnesse in the lande.

¹¹ At that tyme will I buylde agayne the tabernacle of Dauid, that is fallen downe, and hedge vp his gappes: and loke what ys broken, I shal repayre it: yee, I shall buylde it agayne, as it was afore tyme ¹² that they maye possesse the remnaunt of Edom, yee, and all soch people as call vpon my name wyth them, sayeth the Lorde, whych doth these thynges.

² And thou Bethleem Ephrata, art lytle amonge the thou sandes of Iuda, Out of the shal come vnto me, which shal be the gouernoure in Israel: whose out goynge hath bene from the begynning, & from euerlastynge.

⁴³ He sayde vnto them how then doeth Dauid in sprete, call him Lorde sayinge:

³⁵ When they had crucifyed him, they parted his garmentes, & dyd cast lottes: that it myght be fulfylled which was spoken by the Prophet. They departed my garmentes amonge them: and vpon my vesture dyd they cast lottes.

³⁶ for Dauid him selfe inspired wt the holy goost, sayd: The Lorde sayde to my Lorde, syt on my ryght hande tyll I make thyne enemyes thy fote stole.

³¹ Behold, thou shalt conceaue in thy wombe, & beare a sonne, & shalt call his name Iesus. ³² He shalbe greate, & shalbe called the sonne of the hyest. And the Lorde God shall geue vnto him the seate of his father Dauid ³³ and he shall raygne ouer the house of Iacob for euer, and of his kyngdome there shalbe none ende.

⁶⁹ And hath raysed vp an horne of saluacion vnto vs, in the house of his seruaunt Dauid. ⁷⁰ Euen as he promysed by the mouth of his holy prophetes, which were sens the worlde began.

¹⁰ And the angell sayde vnto them: Be not afrayed. For beholde, I bringe you tydinges of greate ioye, that shall come to all people: ¹¹ for vnto you is borne this daye in the cytie of Dauid, a saueoure which is Christ the Lord.

⁴⁴ And he sayde vnto them. These are the wordes whych I spake vnto you, whyll I was yet with you: that all must nedes be fulfylled, whych were wrytten of me in the lawe of Moses and in the Prophetes, and in the Psalmes.

³⁶ Iesus answered: my kyngdome is not of this worlde. Yf my kyngdome were of this worlde, then wolde my mynysters suerly fyght, that I shulde not be delyuered to the Iewes, but now is my kyngdome not from hence. ³⁷ Pylate therfore sayde vnto him. Art thou a kyng then? Iesus answered: thou sayst that I am a kyng. For this cause was I borne, & for this cause came I into the worlde, that I shulde beare witnes vnto the trueth. And all that are of the trueth, heare my voyce.

³ of hys sonne, whych was borne of the seed of Dauid after the flesshe:

¹² And agayne Esay sayth: ther shalbe the rote of Iesie, and he that shall ryse to raygne ouer the gentyls: in hym shall the gentyls trust.

⁸ Remember that Iesus Christ of the sede of Dauid, rose agayne from deeth according to my Gospell,

⁷ Wherfore (as the holy goost sayth:) to daye yf ye wyll heare hys voyce,

⁷ he apoynteth a certayne daye after so longe a tyme sayinge in Dauid (as it is rehearsed) this daye yf ye wyll heare hys voyce, harden not your hertes.

¹⁷ So God wyllinge very aboundantly to shewe vnto the heyres of promes, the stablenes of his counsayl, added an oth:

¹ This Melchisedech kynge of Salem (which beinge preste of the most hye God, met Abraham, as he returned agayne from the slaughter of the kynges and blessed him: ² to whom also Abraham gaue tythes of all thynges) fyrst is called by interpretacion kynge of ryghtewesnes: after that, kynge of Salem (that is to saye, Kynge of peace)

²¹ For those prestes were made without an othe, but thys preste with an othe, by hym that sayde vnto hym. The Lorde sware, and wyll not repent: Thou art a prest for euer after the order of Melchisedech.

¹⁴ These shall fyght with the lambe, & the lambe shall ouercome them. For he is Lorde of lordes, and kynge of kynges, and they that are on his side, are called, and chosen, and faythfull.

¹⁶ And hath on hys vesture and on his thygh a name wrytten: Kyng of Kynges, and Lorde of Lordes.

¹⁰ Wherfore my hert was glad, & my glory reioysed, my flesh also shall rest in hope.

²⁷ because thou wilt not leaue my soule in hell, nether wilt thou suffre thine holye to se corrupcion.

³⁵ Wherfore, he sayeth also in another place. Thou shalt not suffre thyne holy to se corrupcyon.

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

⁴⁶ and sayde vnto them: Thus is it wrytten, and thus it behoued Christ to suffre, and to ryse agayne from deeth the thyrde daye, ⁴⁷ & that repentaunce and remyssyon of synnes shulde be preached in hys name amonge all nacyons, and must begynne at Ierusalem. ⁴⁸ And ye are wytnesses of these thynges.

²⁷ And ye shall beare witnesse also, because ye haue bene with me from the begynning.

²⁶ And after .viij. dayes, agayne his disciples were wt in, & Thomas wt them. Then came Iesus when the dores were shut, & stode in the myddes, and sayde: peace be vnto you. ²⁷ After that sayd he to Thomas: bringe thy fynger hether, & se my handes, & reach hyther thy hande, & thrust it into my syde, & be not faythlesse, but beleuinge. ²⁸ Thomas answered, and sayde vnto him: my Lorde, & my God: ²⁹ Iesus sayeth vnto him: Thomas, because thou hast sene me, thou hast beleued, blessed are they that haue not sene, and yet haue beleued. ³⁰ And many other sygnes truly dyd Iesus in the presence of his discyples, which are not wrytten in this boke. ³¹ These are written, that ye myght beleue, that Iesus is Chryst the sonne of God, and that (in beleuyng) ye myght haue lyfe thorow hys name.

²² begynnynge at the baptyme of Iohn, vnto that same daye that he was taken vp from vs) must one be ordeyned, to be a witnes with vs of hys resurreccyon.

²⁴ whom God hath raysed vp, & loosed the sorowes of deeth, because it was vnpossible, that he shulde be holden of it.

³³ And with greate power gaue the Apostles wytnes of the resurrecyon of the Lord Iesu. And great grace was with them all.

³¹ Hym hath God lyft vp with his ryght hand, to be a ruler and a sauiour, for to geue repentaunce to Israel, and forgeuenes of synnes. ³² And we are recordes of these thinges which we saye, and so is also the holy goost, whom God hath geuen to them that obey him.

³⁹ And we are witnes of all thinges which he dyd in the lande of the Iewes and at Ierusalem: whom they slewe, and hanged on tre.

²⁴ I shall smyte downe hys foes before hys face, and plage them that hate hym.

¹⁶ The ryght hande of the Lorde hath the preeminence, the ryght hande of the Lorde bryngeth mightie thynges to passe.

²² The same stone whyche the buylders refused, is become the heade stone in the corner. ²³ Thys was the Lordes doynge, and it is maruelous in oure eyes.

¹³ Beholde, my seruaunt shall deale wysely, therfore shall he be magnified, exalted & greatly honoured.

¹² Therfore wyll I geue hym the multitude for hys parte, and he shall deuyde the spoyle wyth the strongest because he geueth ouer hys soule to death, and is rekened amonge the transgressours, whych neuertheles hath taken awaye the synnes of the multitude, and made intercessyon for the mysdoers.

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

¹⁹ So then, when the Lorde had spoken vnto them he was receaued into heauen, and is on the right hand of God.

⁴⁹ And beholde, I will sende the promes of my father vpon you. But tary ye in the cytie of Ierusalem, vntyll ye be endewed wyth power from an hye.

³⁸ He that beleueth on me (as sayeth the scripture) out of his belly shall flowe ryuers of water of lyfe. ³⁹ But this spake he of the sprete, whych they that beleue on him, shulde receaue. For the holy goost was not yet there, because Iesus was not yet glorifyed.

¹⁶ & I will praye the father, and he shall geue you another comforter, that he maye bide wt you for euer:

²⁶ But when the comforter is come, whom I will sende vnto you from the father (euen the sprete of treuth, which proceadeth of the father) he shall testifye of me.

⁷ Neuertheles, I tel you the treuth, it is expedient for you, that I goo awaye. For yf I goo not awaye, that comforter wyll not come vnto you. But yf I departe, I wyll sende hym vnto you. ⁸ And when he is come, he wyll rebuke the worlde of synne, and of rightewesnes, & of iudgement. ⁹ Of synne, because they beleue not on me. ¹⁰ Of ryghtewesnes, because I go to my father, and ye shal se me nomore: ¹¹ Of iudgement, because the prynce of thys worlde is iudged all ready. ¹² I haue yet many thinges to saye vnto you but ye cannot beare them awaye now. ¹³ Howbeit when he is come (which is the sprete of treuth) he will leade you into all treuthe. He shall not speake of hym selfe: but whatsoeuer he shall heare, that shall he speake, and he will shewe you thinges to come. ¹⁴ He shal glorify me, for he shall receaue of myne, & shall shewe vnto you. ¹⁵ All thynges that the father hath, are myne. Therfore sayde I vnto you, that he shall take of myne and shewe vnto you.

⁵ And now glorifye thou me (O father) with thyne awne self, with the glory, which I had with the, yer the worlde was.

⁴ and gathered them together, and commaunded them, that they shulde not departe from Ierusalem: but to wayte for the promys of the father wherof (sayeth he) ye haue hearde of me.

¹⁷ And it shalbe in the last dayes, sayth God: of my sprete I wyll poore out vpon all flesshe. And youre sonnes & youre daughters shall prophesy, and youre yonge men shall se vysyons, and youre olde men shall dreame dreames.

³⁸ Peter sayde vnto them: repent of youre synnes, and be baptysed euery one of you in the name of Iesus Chryst for the remission of synnes, and ye shall receaue the gyfte of the holy goost. ³⁹ For the promyse was made vnto you and to youre chyldren, and to all that are a farre of, euen as many as the Lorde oure God shall call.

³¹ Hym hath God lyft vp with his ryght hand, to be a ruler and a sauiour, for to geue repentaunce to Israel, and forgeuenes of synnes.

¹⁴ that the blessynge of Abraham myght come on the Gentyls thorowe Iesus Christ, that we myght receaue the promes of the sprete thorowe fayth.

²⁰ which he wrought in Christ, when he raysed him from the deed, and set him on his ryght hande in heauenly thinges, ²¹ aboue all rule, & power, & myght and dominion, and aboue euery name that is named, not in this worlde onely, but also in the worlde to come: ²² and hath put all thynges vnder his fete, and hath made him aboue all thinges the heed of the congregacyon, ²³ which is his body and the fulnes of him, that fylleth all in all.

⁸ Wherfore he sayth: whan he went vp an hye, he ledde captiuitye captyue, and gaue gyftes vnto men.

⁹ Wherfore, God also hath exalted him on hye, and geuen him a name which is aboue all names: ¹⁰ that in the name of Iesus euery knee shulde bowe, both of thinges in heauen and thynges in erth and thynges vnder the erth, ¹¹ and that all tonges shulde confesse, that Iesus Christ is the Lorde, vnto the prayse of God the father.

⁶ which he shedd on vs abountdantly, thorowe Iesus Christ oure saueoure,

² but in these last dayes he hath spoken vnto vs by his awne sonne, whom he hath made heyre of all thynges by whom also he made the worlde. 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: ⁴ beynge so moch more excellent then the angels, as he hath by inherytaunce obteyned a more excellent name then they.

¹² But thys man after he hath offered one sacrifice for synnes, is set downe for euer on the ryght hand of God,

²² whych is on the ryghte hande of God: and is gone into heauen, angels, powers, and myght subdued vnto hym.

¹ A Psalme of Dauid. The Lorde sayde vnto my Lorde: Syt thou on my ryght hand, vntill I make thine enemyes thy fotestole.

⁴² saying: what thynke ye of Chryst? Whose sonne is he? They saye vnto him: the sonne of Dauid. ⁴³ He sayde vnto them how then doeth Dauid in sprete, call him Lorde sayinge: ⁴⁴ The Lord sayd vnto my Lorde syt the on my ryght hande tyll I make thyne enemyes thy foote stoole. ⁴⁵ If Dauid then, call him Lord, how is he then his sonne?

⁴² And Dauid him selfe sayeth in the boke of the Psalmes: The Lorde sayde vnto my Lorde: syt thou on my ryght hande, ⁴³ tyll I make thyne enemyes thy fote stole.

²⁵ For he must raygne tyll he haue put all his enemyes vnder his fete.

²² and hath put all thynges vnder his fete, and hath made him aboue all thinges the heed of the congregacyon,

¹³ Unto whych of the angels sayde he at eny tyme: Syt on my ryght hande, tyll I make thyne enemyes thy fote stole?

¹⁵ I will also put enemytie betwene the & the woman, betwene thy sede and hyr sede: The same shall treade downe thy head, and thou shalt treade vpon hys hele.

²⁴ And it fortuned, that when they brought oute those kynges vnto Iosua: Iosua called for all the men of Israell, and sayde vnto the chefe of the men of warre, which wente with hym: come nere, & put youre fete vpon the neckes of these kynges. And they cam neare: and put their fete vpon the neckes of them. ²⁵ And Iosua sayde vnto them: Ye shall not feare, ner be faynt harted. But be strong and plucke vp youre hertes, for thus shall the Lorde do to all youre enemyes agaynst whom ye fyght.

⁴⁰ Thou hast made myne enemyes also to turne theyr backes vpon me, & I shall destroye them that hate me. ⁴¹ They shall crye: but there shalbe none to helpe them: yee, euen vnto the Lord, shall they crye: but he shall nott heare them. ⁴² I wyll beate them as small as the dust before the wynde: I will cast them out, as the claye in the stretes.

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. ¹⁰ Their frute shalt thou roote out of the earth, and theyr sede from amonge the chyldren of men. ¹¹ For they intended myschefe agaynst the, and ymagined soch a deuyce, as they are not able to perfourme. ¹² Therfore shalt thou put them to flyght, and the strynges of thy bowe shalt thou make ready agaynst the faces of them:

⁹ They that dwell in the wildernes shall knele before him, his enemies shall licke the dust.

²³ For kinges shalbe thy nursyng fathers, and quenes shalbe thy nursing mothers. They shall fall before the wt theyr faces flatt vpon the earth: and lycke vp the dust of thy fete: that thou mayst knowe how that I am the Lorde. And who so putteth his trust in me, shall not be confounded.

¹⁸ (lyke as when a man goeth forth wrathfully to recompence hys enemyes, & to be auenged of hys aduersaryes.) Namelye, that be myght recompence & rewarde the Ilandes,

¹⁴ Moreouer, those shall come knelyng vnto the, that haue vexed the: and all they that despysed the, shall fall downe at thy fote. Thou shalt be called the cytie of the Lorde, Sion the cytie of the holy one of Israel.

⁴ For the daye of vengeaunce is assigned in my hert, & the yeare when my people shall be delyuered, is come. ⁵ I loked aboute me, and there was no man to shewe me eny helpe, I maruayled that no man helde me vp. Then I helde me by myne awne arme, & my feruentnesse susteyned me. ⁶ And thus will I treade downe the people in my wrath, & bathe them in my displeasure: and vpon the earth will I laye their strength.

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

¹⁶ He shall come, & destroye these husbandmen, & shall let out hys vineyarde to other. When they hearde thys, they sayde: God forbyd. ¹⁷ And he behelde them, and sayde: what is thys then that is wrytten: the stone that the buylders refused, the same is become the heed of the corner? ¹⁸ Whosoeuer doth stomble vpon the stone, shalbe broken: but on whosoeuer it falleth, it wyll grynde him to powder.

²⁰ The God of peace shall treade Satan vnder youre fete shortly. The grace of oure Lorde Iesu Christ be with you.

¹⁹ And I sawe the beast, and the kynges of the earth, and their warriers gathered together to make batayle agaynst hym that sat on the horsse, and agaynst his soudiers.

⁸ and shall go out to deceaue the people, whych are in the foure quarters of the erth, Gog & Magog, to gather them together to battayle, whose nombre is as the sonde of the see: ⁹ and they went vp in the playne of the erth: & compased the tentes of the saynctes about, & the beloued citie. And fyre came downe from God out of heauen, and deuoured them: 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. 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.

¹ Why do the Heythen so furiouslye rage together? and why do the people ymagyne a vayne thynge? ² The kynges of the erth stande vp, and the rulers take councell together agaynst the Lorde, and agaynst hys anoynted. ³ Let vs breake theyr bondes asunder, and cast awaye theyr coardes from vs. ⁴ He that dwelleth in heauen shall laugh them to scorne: the Lorde shall haue them in derisyon. ⁵ Then shall he speake vnto them in hys wrath, and vexe them in hys sore displeasure. ⁶ Yet haue I set my kynge vpon my holy hyll of Syon. ⁷ I wyll preach the lawe, wherof the Lorde hath sayd vnto me: thou arte my sonne, thys daye haue I begotten the. ⁸ Desyre of me, and I shall geue the, the Heythen for thyne enheritaunce, & the vtmost partes of the erthe for thy possessyon.

⁴ Heare therfore the worde of the Lorde, O thou house of Iacob, and all the generacyons of the house of Israel.

³¹ Beholde, the dayes come, sayth the Lorde, that I wyll make a newe couenaunt wt the house of Israel, and wt the house of Iuda:

¹⁴ Beholde, the tyme commeth, sayeth the Lorde, that I will perfourme that good thynge, which I haue promised vnto the house of Israel and to the house of Iuda.

³⁰ Thus shall they vnderstande, that I the Lorde theyr God am with them, and that they (euen the house of Israel) are my people saieth the Lorde God.

²⁵ Therfore, thus sayeth the Lord God: Now will I bringe agayne the captiues of Iacob & haue mercy vpon the whole house of Israel, and be gelous for my holy names sak ²⁶ All their confusion and offence that they haue done agaynst me shall be taken awaye: & so safely shal they dwell in their lande, that no man shall make them afrayed. ²⁷ And when I haue brought them agayne from amonge the people, when I haue gathered them together out of their enemies landes, & am praysed in them before many Heathen: ²⁸ then shal they knowe, that I am the Lord their God which suffred them to be led into captiuite amonge the Heathen, but now haue I brought them agayne into their awne lande, and not left one of them yonder. ²⁹ After that, will I hyde my face nomore from them but will poure out my sprete vpon the house of Israell, sayeth the Lorde God.

¹ In that tyme shall the house of Dauid and the cytesyns of Ierusalem haue an open well, to wash of synne and vnclennesse.

¹⁸ And Iesus came, and spake vnto them, sayinge: All power is geuen vnto me in heauen, & in erth. ¹⁹ Go ye therfore, & teach all nacions, baptising them in the name of the father, & of the sonne, & of the holy goost: ²⁰ Teachinge them to obserue all thinges, whatsoeuer I haue commaunded you. And lo I am wyth you allwaye, euen vntyll the ende of the worlde.

¹¹ for vnto you is borne this daye in the cytie of Dauid, a saueoure which is Christ the Lord.

³⁵ The father loueth the sonne & hath geuen all thynges into hys hande ³⁶ He that beleueth on the sonne hath euerlastinge lyfe: He that beleueth not the sonne, shall not se lyfe, but the wrath of God abydeth on him.

²² Nether iudgeth the father eny man: but hath commytted all iudgement vnto the sonne, 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. ²⁴ Uerely, verely I saye vnto you. He that heareth my worde, & beleueth on him that sent me, hath euerlasting lyfe, and shall not come into damnacyon: but is scaped from deeth vnto lyfe. 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.

²² Ye men of Israel, heare these wordes: Iesus of Nazareth a man aproued of God amonge you with myracles, wonders and sygnes, which God dyd by hym in the myddes of you (as ye youre selues knowe) ²³ hym haue ye taken by the handes of vnryghtewes persones, after he was delyuered by the determinat counsell & foreknowledge of God, & haue crucifyed and slayne him:

¹¹ This is the stone which was cast asyde of you buylders, which is become the chefe of the corner. ¹² Nether is there saluacyon in eny other. For amonge men vnder heauen there is geuen none other name, wherin we must be saued.

³⁰ The God of oure fathers raysed vp Iesus, whom ye slewe, and hanged on tre. ³¹ Hym hath God lyft vp with his ryght hand, to be a ruler and a sauiour, for to geue repentaunce to Israel, and forgeuenes of synnes.

³⁶ Ye knowe the preachynge that God sent vnto the children of Israel, preachyng peace by Iesu Christ, which is Lord ouer all thynges. ³⁷ Which preachynge was publisshed thorowout all Iewry (and began in Galile, after the baptyme which Iohn preached) 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. ³⁹ And we are witnes of all thinges which he dyd in the lande of the Iewes and at Ierusalem: whom they slewe, and hanged on tre. ⁴⁰ Him God raysed vp the thyrd daye, & shewed him openly, ⁴¹ not to all the people, but vnto vs witnesses (chosen before of God for the same intent) which dyd eate & dryncke wt him, after he arose from deeth. ⁴² And he commaunded vs to preach vnto the people, and to testify that it is he, which was ordened of God to be the iudge of quycke and deed.

³ For I haue wysshed my selfe to be cursed from Chryst, for my brethren (my kynsmen as pertaynynge to the flesshe) ⁴ which are the Israelites. To whom pertayneth the adopcyon, and the glorye, and the couenauntes and the lawe that was geuen, and the seruyce of God, and the promyses: ⁵ whose also are the fathers, and they of whom (as concernynge the flesshe) Christ came, which is God in all thynges to be praysed for euer Amen. ⁶ I speake not these thynges, as though the wordes of God had take none effecte. For they are not all Israelites, which are of Israell:

⁸ For none of vs lyueth for hym selfe, and no man dyeth for hym selfe. For yf we lyue, we lyue vnto the Lorde. And yf we dye, we dye vnto the Lord. Whether we lyue therfore, or dye, we are the Lordes. ⁹ For Christ therfore dyed, and rose agayne, and reuyued, that he myght be Lorde of deed and quycke. 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.

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.

¹⁶ And soch as escape and fle from amonge them, shall be vpon the hylles, lyke as the doues in the felde: euery one shalbe afrayed, because of his awne wyckednesse.

¹⁰ And the people asked him, sayinge: what shall we do then?

¹² Then cam the publicans also to be baptised, & sayde vnto him: Master, what shal we do?

¹⁴ The soudyoures lykewyse demaunded of him, sayinge: and what shall we do? And he sayde vnto them: hurt no man: nether trouble eny man wrongfully: and be content with youre wages.

⁹ And assone as they hearde this, they went out one by one, begynning at the eldest. And Iesus was lefte alone, & the woman standynge in the myddes.

⁸ And when he is come, he wyll rebuke the worlde of synne, and of rightewesnes, & of iudgement. ⁹ Of synne, because they beleue not on me. ¹⁰ Of ryghtewesnes, because I go to my father, and ye shal se me nomore: ¹¹ Of iudgement, because the prynce of thys worlde is iudged all ready.

³³ When they hearde that, they claue asunder, and sought meanes to slee them.

⁵⁴ When they heard these thinges, theyr hertes claue asunder, and they gnasshed on him with theyr teth.

⁵ And he sayde: what art thou Lorde? And the Lorde sayd: I am Iesus, whom thou persecutest. It is hard for the to kycke against the pryckes. ⁶ And he both tremblynge, & astonyed sayde: Lorde, what wylt thou haue me to do? And the Lord sayd vnto hym: aryse, and go into the cytie, and it shalbe told the, what thou must do.

²⁹ Then he called for a lyght and sprange in and ran tremblynge vnto Paul, and fell downe at the fete of Paul & Sylas, ³⁰ and brought them out, & sayde: Syrs what must I do to be saued? ³¹ And they sayde: beleue on the Lorde Iesus, & thou shalt be saued & thy housholde.

¹⁰ And I sayde: what shall I do Lorde? And the Lorde sayde vnto me: Aryse, and go into Damasco, and there it shall be tolde the of all thynges, whych are appoynted for the to do.

²⁵ And as he preached of ryghtewesnes temperaunce, and iudgement to come, Felix trembled, and answered: Go thy waye for thys tyme: whan I haue a conuenient season, I wyll sende for the. ²⁶ He hoped also, that money shulde haue bene geuen hym of Paul, that he myght loose him: wherfore, he called hym the oftenner and comened with hym.

⁹ I once lyued wythout lawe. But when the commaundement came, synne reuiued, and I was deed.

²⁴ But and yf all prophesye, and ther come in one that beleueth not, or one vnlearned, he is rebuked of all men, & is iudged of euery man, ²⁵ & so are the secretes of his hert opened, and so falleth he downe on his face, and worshyppeth God, & sayth, that God is in you of a trueth.

¹² For the worde of God is quycke, and myghty in operacion, and sharper then eny two edged swearde: & entreth through, euen vnto the diuidynge a sonder of the soule and the sprete, and of the ioyntes and the mary: and is a discerner of the thoughtes and of the intentes of the herte: ¹³ nether is ther eny creature that is not manifest in the syght of him: But all thinges are naked and open vnto the eyes of him, of whom we speake.

¹⁵ vnto the tyme that the sprete be powred vpon vs from aboue. Then shall the wyldernes be a frutefull felde, and the plenteous feld shalbe rekened for a wodde.

³ For I shall powre water vpon the drye grounde, & ryuers vpon the thurstye. I shall poure my sprete vpon thy sede, and myne encrease vpon thy stock. ⁴ They shall growe together, lyke as the grasse, and as the wyllowes by the waters syde.

²⁸ After this, will I poure out my sprete vpon all flesh: and your sonnes and your daughters shall prophecy: your olde men shall dreame dreames, and youre yonge men shall se visyons, ²⁹ yee, in those dayes I will poure out my sprete vpon seruauntes and maydens.

² and sayeng: Repent of the life that is past, for the kingdome of heauen is at hand.

⁸ Bring forth therfore the frutes that belong to repentaunce. ⁹ And be not of soch mynde that ye wolde saye wtin your selues: we haue Abraham to oure father. For I saye vnto you: that God is able to bryng to passe, that of these stones ther shall ryse vp children vnto Abraham.

¹⁷ From that tyme, Iesus beganne to preache, and to saye: repent, for the kyngdome of heauen is at hande.

²⁸ What saye ye to this? A man had two sonnes, & cam to the fyrst, & sayde: sonne, go & worke to daye in my vineyarde. ²⁹ He answered & sayde, I wyll not, but afterward, he repented, & went. ³⁰ Then cam he to the seconde, & sayd lykewise. And he answered, & sayd: I will syr, & went not. ³¹ Whether of them twayne dyd the wyll of the father? And they saye vnto him: the fyrst. Iesus sayeth vnto them: verely I saye vnto you, the publicans & harlotes go into the kyngdom of God before you. ³² For Iohn cam vnto you by the waye of ryghtewesnes, and ye beleued hym not: but publicans & harlottes beleued hym. And ye (whan ye had sene it) were not moued afterwarde wyth repentaunce, that ye myght haue beleued hym.

¹⁵ & sayinge. the tyme is come, & the kyngdom of God is at hand repent, and beleue the Gospell.

¹⁶ he that beleueth & is baptised, shalbe saued. But he that beleueth not, shalbe dampned.

¹ Then resorted vnto him all the publicans and synners, for to heare him. ² And the Pharises and Scribes murmured, sayinge. He receaueth synners, and eateth with them. ³ But he put forth this parable vnto them, saieng. ⁴ What man of you hauynge an hundred shepe (yf he lose one of them) doth not leaue nynty and nyne in the wildernes, and go after that which is lost, vntill he fynde it? ⁵ And when he hath founde it, he laieth it on his shulders with ioye. ⁶ And assone as he cometh home, he calleth together his louers and neyghbours, saying vnto them: Reioyse with me for I haue founde my shepe, which was loost. ⁷ I say vnto you, that like wyse ioye shalbe in heauen ouer one synner that repenteth, more then ouer nynty and nyne iuste persons, which nede no repentaunce. ⁸ Ether what woman (hauynge ten grotes, yf she loose one) doth not light a candell, and swepe the housse, and seke diligently tyll she fynde it? ⁹ And when she hath founde it, she calleth her louers and her neyghbours together, sayinge: Reioyce with me, for I haue founde the grote which I had lost. ¹⁰ Likewyse I saye vnto you, shall ther be ioye in the presence of the angels of God, ouer one synner that repenteth. ¹¹ And he sayd: A certayne man had two sonnes, ¹² and the yonger of them sayde vnto the father: father, geue me the porcion of the goodes, that to me belongeth. And he deuided vnto them his substance. ¹³ And not longe after, whan the yonger sonne had gathered all that he had together, he toke his iorney into a far countreye, and there he wasted his goodes with ryotous liuing. ¹⁴ And when he had spent all, ther arose a greate derth in all that land, and he began to lacke, ¹⁵ and went, and came to a citesyn of the same countre: and he sent him to his farme, to kepe swyne. ¹⁶ And he wolde fayne haue fylled his bely with the coddes that the swyne dyd eate: & no man gaue vnto him. ¹⁷ Then he came to him selfe, and sayd: how many hyred seruauntes at my fathers haue breed ynough? and I perishe with honger. ¹⁸ I wyll aryse, and go to my father, and will saye vnto him: father, I haue synned agaynst heauen, and before the, ¹⁹ & am no more worthy to be called thy sonne, make me as one of thy hyred seruauntes. ²⁰ And he arose, & came to his father. But when he was yet a greate waye of, his father sawe him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kyssed him. ²¹ And the sonne sayde vnto him: father, I haue synned agaynst heauen, and in thy syght, & am nomore worthy to be called thy sonne. ²² But the father sayd to his seruauntes: brynge forth the best garment, and put it on him, and put a rynge on his hande, and shoes on his fete. ²³ And brynge hyther that fatt caulfe, and kyll it, and let vs eate and be mery: ²⁴ for this my sonne was deed, and is alyue agayne, he was loste, and is founde. And they began to be merye. ²⁵ The elder brother was in the felde: and when he came and drewe nye to the housse, he herde mynstrelsy & daunsynge, ²⁶ and called one of his seruauntes, and asked, what those thynges meante. ²⁷ And he sayd vnto him: thy brother is come, and thy father hath kylled the fatt caulfe, because he hath receaued him safe and sounde. ²⁸ And he was angry, and wolde not go in. Then came hys father out, and entreated him. ²⁹ He answered and sayde to his father: Lo, these many yeares haue I done the seruice, nether brake at any tyme thy commaundement, and yet gauest thou me neuer a kid, to make mery with my frendes: ³⁰ but assone as this thy sonne was come (which hath deuoured thy goodes with harlotes) thou haste for his pleasure kylled the fatt caulfe. ³¹ And he sayde vnto him: Sonne, thou art euer with me, and all that I haue is thyne: ³² it was mete that we shulde make mery and be glad: for this thy brother was deed, and is alyue agayne: and was loste, and is founde.

⁴⁷ & that repentaunce and remyssyon of synnes shulde be preached in hys name amonge all nacyons, and must begynne at Ierusalem.

¹⁶ But this it that which was spoken by the Prophete Iohel: ¹⁷ And it shalbe in the last dayes, sayth God: of my sprete I wyll poore out vpon all flesshe. And youre sonnes & youre daughters shall prophesy, and youre yonge men shall se vysyons, and youre olde men shall dreame dreames. ¹⁸ And on my seruauntes, & on my hande maydens I wyll poore out of my sprete in those dayes, and they shall prophesye.

¹⁹ Let it repente you therfore, and conuerte, that youre synnes maye be done awaye when the tyme of refresshynge commeth, which we shall haue of the presence of the Lorde,

¹² But assone as they gaue credence to Philippes preachyng of the kyngdome of God, & of the name of Iesu Christ, they were baptysed both men & wemen.

¹⁵ Which whan they were come downe, prayed for them, that they might receaue the holy ghost. ¹⁶ For as yet he was come on no one of them: but they were baptysed onely in the name of Christ Iesu. ¹⁷ Then layd they their handes on them, & they receaued the holy ghos

²⁰ But Peter sayd vnto him: thy money perisshe with the, because thou hast thought that the gift of God maye be obteyned with money.

³⁶ And as they went on theyr waye, they cam vnto a certen water, and the chamberlayne said: Se, here is water what doth let me to be baptysed? ³⁷ Philip sayde vnto him: If thou beleue with all thyne hert, thou mayest. And he answered, and sayde: I beleue that Iesus Christ is the sonne of God. ³⁸ And he commaunded the charet to stande styll. And they went downe both into the water: both Philip and also the chamberlayn, and he baptysed hym.

⁴⁴ Whyle Peter yet spake these wordes, the holy ghost fell on all them which heard the preachyng. ⁴⁵ And they of the circumcisyon which beleued, were astonnied, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentils also was shed out the gyft of the holy ghost.

⁴⁸ And he commaunded them to be baptysed in the name of the Lord. Then prayd they him, to tary a few dayes.

¹⁵ When she was baptised, and her housholde, she besought vs, sayinge: If ye thyncke that I beleue on the Lorde, come into my house, and abyde there. And she constrayned vs.

³¹ And they sayde: beleue on the Lorde Iesus, & thou shalt be saued & thy housholde. ³² And they preached vnto him the worde of the Lord, & to all that were in hys house. ³³ And he toke them the same houre of the nyght, & wasshed their woundes, and was baptised and all they of hys housholde strayght waye. ³⁴ And when he had brought them into hys house, he set meate before them, and ioyed that he with all his housholde, beleued on God.

³⁰ And the tyme of this ignoraunce God regarded not. But now biddeth all men euery where repen

⁴ Then sayde Paul: Iohn verely baptysed with the baptim of repentaunce, sayinge vnto the people that they shulde beleue on hym, which shuld come after him: that is on Christ Iesus. ⁵ When they hearde thys, they were baptysed in the name of the Lorde Iesu.

²¹ witnessynge both to the Iewes, & also to the Grekes, the repentaunce, that is toward God, & the fayth which is toward oure Lorde Iesus.

¹⁸ to open their eyes, that they maye be turned from darckness to light, and from the power of Satan vnto God, that they maye receaue forgeuenes of synnes, and inheritaunce amonge them whych are sanctified by fayth that is toward me.

²⁰ but shewed fyrst vnto them of Damasco, and at Ierusalem, and thorow out all the coastes of Iewry, and then to the gentyls, that they shuld repent, and turne to God, and do soch workes as become them that repent.

³ Knowe ye not that all we whych are baptysed into Iesu Christe are baptysed to dye wyth him?

¹³ Is Christ deuyded? Was Paul crucifyed for you? ether were ye baptysed in the name of Paul? ¹⁴ I thanke God, that I baptysed none of you, but Crispus and Gaius: ¹⁵ lest eny shuld saye, that I had baptysed in myne awne name. ¹⁶ I baptised also the house of Stephana. Furthermore knowe I not, whether I baptised eny man or no. ¹⁷ For Christ sent me not to baptyse, but to preache the Gospell, not wt wysdome of wordes, lest the crosse of Christ shulde haue bene made of none effecte.

⁵ not by the dedes of rightewesnes which we wrought, but accordynge to hys mercye he saued vs by the fountayne of the newe byrth, and renuynge of the holy goost,

²¹ like as baptyme also now saueth vs, not the puttynge awaye of the fylth of the flesshe, but in that a good conseyence consenteth to God, by the resurreccyon of Iesus Christ,

⁷ Moreouer I will make my bonde betwene me and the, and thy seed after the in theyr generacyons, by an euerlastynge testament, that I maye be God vnto the and to thy seed after the. ⁸ And I wyll geue vnto the and to thy seed after the, the lande where in thou art a straunger: Euen all the lande of Canaan, for an euerlastynge possessyon, and wyll be their God.

¹⁴ The Lorde shall encrease you more and more: you, & youre children. ¹⁵ Ye are the blessed of the Lord, which made heauen & earth.

¹³ Thy children shall all be taught of God, & I wyll geue them plenteousnes of peace.

¹⁹ I make the frutes of thankesgeuynge, that he maye saye. Peace peace vnto them that are farre of, and to them that are nye, sayth the Lorde, and I make hym whole.

¹⁹ wher thorowe the name of the Lorde myght be feared, from the rysynge of the Sunne: and hys magesty, vnto the goinge downe of the same. For he shall come as a violent waterstreame, whych the wynde of the Lorde hath moued.

³⁹ And I wyll geue them one hert and one waye, that they maye feare me all the daies of their lyfe, that they and their chyldren after them maye prospere. ⁴⁰ And I wyll sett vp an euerlastyng couenaunt with them. Namelye, that I wyll neuer ceasse to do them good, and that I wyll put my feare in their hertes, so that they shall not runne awaye from me.

²⁵ They shall dwell in the lande, that I gaue vnto Iacob my seruaunt, where as your fathers also haue dwelt. Yee, euen in the same lande shal they, their chyldren, & their chylders chyldren dwell for euermore, & my seruaunt Dauid shalbe their euerlastinge prince.

²⁸ After this, will I poure out my sprete vpon all flesh: and your sonnes and your daughters shall prophecy: your olde men shall dreame dreames, and youre yonge men shall se visyons,

²⁵ Ye are the chyldren of the Prophetes, and of the couenaunt, which God made vnto oure fathers, sayinge to Abraham: Euen in thy seede shal all the kynredes of the earth be blessed. ²⁶ Fyrst whan God had raysed vp hys sonne Iesus vnto you, he sent him to blesse you, that euery one of you shulde turne from his wyckednes.

¹⁵ And as I beganne to preach, the holy ghost fell on them, as he dyd on vs at the begynninge. ¹⁶ Then came it to my remembraunce, howe that the Lorde sayd: Iohn baptised wt water, but ye shalbe baptised with the holy ghost. ¹⁷ For asmoch then as God gaue them lyke gyftes, as he dyd vnto vs, when we beleued on the Lord Iesus Chryst: what was I, that I shulde haue withstande God? ¹⁸ When they heard this, they helde theyr peace, and glorifyed God, sayinge: then hath God also to the Gentyls graunted repentaunce vnto lyfe.

³ And after they were brought on their waye by the congregacion, they passed ouer Phenices and Samaria, declaryng the conuersion of the Gentyls, and they brought greate ioye vnto all the brethren.

⁸ And God which knoweth the hertes, bare them wytnes, and gaue vnto them the holy goost, euen as he dyd vnto vs,

¹⁴ Simeon tolde, how God at the beginning dyd visit the gentyls, to receaue of them a people in his name.

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.

⁴ which are the Israelites. To whom pertayneth the adopcyon, and the glorye, and the couenauntes and the lawe that was geuen, and the seruyce of God, and the promyses:

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

¹⁶ For yf one pece be holy, the whole heepe is holy. And yf the rote be holy, the braunches shalbe holy also. ¹⁷ Though some of the braunches be broken of, and thou beynge a wylde olyue tree, wast graft in among them, and made partaker of the rote and fatnes of the olyue tree,

²⁹ For verely, the gyftes and callynge of God are soch, that it cannot repent hym of them:

¹⁴ For the vnbeleuynge husbande is sanctified by the wyfe, & the vnbeleuinge wyfe is sanctifyed by the husbande. Or els were your chyldren vncleane: but nowe are they holye.

¹⁸ and lyghten the eyes of youre myndes, that ye maye knowe what the hope is, where vnto he hath called you, and howe riche the glorye is of his inheritaunce vpon the saynctes,

¹³ But nowe by the meanes of Christ Iesu, ye which somtyme were farre of, are made nye by the bloude of Chryst. ¹⁴ For he is oure peace, which hath made of both one, and hath broken downe the wall that was a stoppe betwene vs, ¹⁵ and hath also put awaye thorowe his flesshe, the cause of hatred, euen the lawe of commaundementes contayned in the lawe wrytten, for to make of twayne one newe man in hym selfe, so makynge peace, ¹⁶ and to reconcyle both vnto God in one body thorowe the crosse, & slewe hatred therby: ¹⁷ and came, and preached peace to you which were a farre of, and to them that were nye. ¹⁸ For thorowe hym we both haue an intraunce, in one sprete vnto the father. ¹⁹ Now therfore, ye are not straungers, and foreyners: but citesyns with the sayntes & of the housholde of God: ²⁰ and are buylt vpon the foundacyon of the Apostles and Prophetes, Iesus Chryst him selfe beynge the heed corner stone, ²¹ in whom what buyldynge soeuer is coupled together, it groweth vnto an holy temple in the Lorde, ²² in whom ye also are buylt together, to be an habitacion of God thorowe the ghost.

⁵ which mistery in tymes passed was not opened vnto the sonnes of men, as it is nowe declared vnto hys holy Apostles and Prophetes by the sprete: ⁶ that the Gentyls shulde be inheritours also, and of the same body, and partetakers of hys promes in Christ, by the meanes of the Gospell, ⁷ wherof I am made a mynyster, accordinge to the gyfte of the grace of God which is geuen vnto me after the workynge of hys power. ⁸ Unto me the least of all saynctes is this grace geuen, that I shulde preache amonge the Gentyls the vnsearcheable riches of Christ

⁴ beynge one body, and one sprete, euen as ye are called in one hope of your callinge.

¹¹ Wherfore, also we praye allwayes for you, that our God will make you worthy of this calling, & fulfyll all delectacyon of goodnes & the worcke of fayth, wt power:

¹³ But we are bounde to geue thankes alwey to God for you (brethren beloued of the Lorde) for because that God hath from the begynnynge chosen you to saluacyon, thorowe sanctifyinge of the sprete, and thorow beleuing of the trueth, ¹⁴ wher vnto he called you by oure Gospell, to obtayne the glorye of oure Lord Iesu Christ.

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)

¹ Therfore holy brethren, partakers of the celestiall callynge consyder the ambassadour and hye preste of oure professyon Christ Iesus,

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.

¹⁰ But the God of all grace whych hath called vs vnto hys eternall glory by Christ Iesus, shall hys awne selfe (after that ye haue suffred a lytell affliccyon) make you perfect: settle, strength and stablisshe you.

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,

¹⁰ Wherfore brethren, geue the more diligence for to make your calling & eleccyon sure For yf ye do soch thynges, ye shall neuer fall.

⁹ And he sayd vnto me, wryte, happy are they whiche are called vnto the supper of the lambes mariage. And he sayd vnto me: these are the true sayinges of God.

²⁸ And Moses sayd: Herby ye shall knowe that the Lorde hath sent me to do all these workes, and that I haue not done them of mine awne minde. ²⁹ If these men dye the comen deth of all men: or yf they be visyted after the visitacyon of all men, then the Lorde hath not sent me. ³⁰ But and yf the Lorde make a newe thyng, and the earth open her mouth and swalowe them vp wt all that they haue: and they go downe quycke into hell: then ye shall vnderstande, that these men haue prouoked the Lorde. ³¹ And it fortuned that assone as he had made an ende of speakyng all these wordes, ³² the grounde cloue asonder that was vnder them: & the erth opened her mouth, and swalowed them vp, and their houses, ³³ and all the men that were with Corah and all their goodes. And they and all that they had, went downe alyue vnto hell, and the earth closed vpon them: and they peryshed from amonge the congregacion. ³⁴ And all Israel that were aboute them fledd at the crye of them. And they sayd: lest the earthe swalowe vs vp also.

⁵ Frowardly haue they done against him thorowe their deformities: not his owne children, but a wycked & frowarde generacyon.

⁶ Forsake ignoraunce, and ye shall lyue: and se that ye go in the waye of vnderstandynge.

⁷ But when he sawe many of the Pharises and Saduces come to hys baptyme, he sayd vnto them: O generacion of vypers, who hath taught you to fle from the vengeaunce to come? ⁸ Bring forth therfore the frutes that belong to repentaunce. ⁹ And be not of soch mynde that ye wolde saye wtin your selues: we haue Abraham to oure father. For I saye vnto you: that God is able to bryng to passe, that of these stones ther shall ryse vp children vnto Abraham. ¹⁰ Euen now is the axe also put vnto the rote of the trees: so that euery tree which bringeth not forth good frute, is hewen downe, and cast into the fyre.

³⁴ O generacion of vypers, how can ye speake good thinges, when ye youre selues are euyll? For out of the aboundance of the hert, the mouth speaketh.

⁴ The frowarde & aduoutrous nacyon requyreth a sygne, and there shall no sygne be geuen vnto it, but the sygne of the Prophet Ionas. And he lefte them, and departed.

¹⁷ Iesus answered & sayd: O faythles & croked nacion: how longe shall I be with you? how longe shall I suffre you? bring hym hyther.

³³ Ye serpentes, ye generacion of vypers, how wyll ye scape the damnacyon of hell?

³⁸ Whosoeuer therfore shalbe asshamed of me and of my wordes, in thys aduoutrous and synfull generacion: of hym also shall the sonne of man be asshamed, when he commeth in the glorye of hys father with the holy angels.

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.

²⁵ There are also many other thynges which Iesus dyd, the which yf they shulde be wrytten euery one, I suppose the worlde coulde not contayne the bokes that shulde be wrytten.

⁴² And he commaunded vs to preach vnto the people, and to testify that it is he, which was ordened of God to be the iudge of quycke and deed.

³² And Iudas & Sylas being Prophetes, exhorted the brethren with moch preachynge, & strengthed them.

² And when he had gone ouer those partyes, and had geuen them a longe exhortacyon, he cam into Grece

⁹ & ther sate in a wyndowe a certayne yonge man (named Euticus) beinge fallen into a depe sleepe. And as Paul was preachinge, he was the more ouercome with slepe, and fell downe from the thyrde lofte, & was taken vp deed.

¹¹ So when he was come vp agayne, & had broken the bread & eaten, and talcked a longe whyle (euen tyll the mornyng) at the last he departed.

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.

²³ And when they had appoynted him a daye, ther came many to hym into hys lodgyng. To whom he expounded and testifyed the kyngdom of God and preached vnto them of Iesus: both out of the lawe of Moses and out of the Prophetes, euen from morninge to nyght.

²⁰ Now then are we messengers in the rowme of Christ euen as though God dyd beseche you thorow vs. So praye we you in Christes stede, that ye be reconcyled vnto God:

¹⁷ Wherfore come out from amonge them, and separate youre selues from them (sayth the Lorde) and touche none vncleane thynge: so wyll I receaue you,

³ I testyfye agayne to euery man which is circumcised, that he is bonde to kepe the whole lawe.

¹⁷ This I saye therfore, and testifye thorowe the Lorde, that ye hence forth walke not, as other Gentyls walke, in vanite of theyr minde,

¹⁵ that ye maye be soche as no man came complayne on: and vnfayned sonnes of God without rebuke, in the myddes of a croked and peruerse nacyon: amonge whom se that ye shyne as lyghtes in the worlde,

¹¹ as ye knowe, how that we bare soch affeccyon vnto euery one of you, as a father doth vnto chyldren, exhortynge, confortyng, and besechyng you,

¹⁶ Take hede vnto thy selfe, and vnto learnynge, and continue therin. For yf thou shalt so do, thou shalt saue thy selfe, & them that heare the.

¹² Take hede brethren, lest at anye tyme ther be in anye of you a frowarde herte subiect vnto vnbelefe, that he shulde departe from the lyuynge God: ¹³ but exhorte ye one another dayly, while it is called to daye: lest eny of you wexe harde harted thorowe the deceytfulnesse of synne.

⁸ Drawe nye to God, and he will drawe nye to you. Clense your handes ye siners, & pourge your hertes ye waueryng mynded. ⁹ Suffre afflictions & mourne, & wepe. Let your laughter be turned to mournyng, & youre ioye to heuynes. ¹⁰ Humble youre selues in the sight of the lord, & he shal lyft you vp.

¹² By Syluanus a faythfull brother vnto you (as I suppose) haue I wrytten brefly, exhortynge and testifyinge, how that thys is the true grace of God, wherin ye stande.

¹⁷ because thou sayest: I am ryche & incresyd wyth goodes, and haue nede of nothyng, and knowest not, how thou art wretched & myserable, and poore, & blynde and nakyd. ¹⁸ I counsell the to bye of me, golde tryed in the fyre, that thou mayste be ryche: and whyte rayment, that thou mayste be clothed, that thy fylthy nakednes do not appeare, & anoynt thyne eyes wyth eye salue that thou mayste se. ¹⁹ As many as I loue, I rebuke, & chasten, Be feruent therfore, and repent.

⁴ And I herde another voyce from heauen saye, come awaye from her my people, that ye be not partakers of her synnes, and that ye receaue not of her plages. ⁵ For her synnes are gone vp to heauen, & God hath remembred her wickednes.

¹⁶ There shalbe an heape of corne in the earth hye vpon the hylles, his frute shall shake lyke Libanus, and shalbe grene in the cite, like grasse vpon the earth. ¹⁷ His name shall endure for euer, his name shall remayne vnder the sunne amonge the posterites, which shalbe blessed thorow him, and all the Heathen shall prayse him

³ In the daye of thy power shall thy people offre the frewyll offrynges wt an holy worshippe, the dewe of thy byrth is of the wombe of the mornyng.

⁴⁴ Agayne, the kyngdom of heauen is lyke vnto treasure hid in the felde, the which a man hath found and hydd: and for ioye therof goeth & selleth all that he hath, & byeth the felde. ⁴⁵ Agayne, the kyngdome of heauen is lyke vnto a marchaunt man, sekyng goodly pearles, ⁴⁶ which (when he found one precious pearle) went & solde all that he had, & bought it.

⁵ And Simon answered, and sayd vnto hym: Master, we haue laboured all night, and haue taken nothynge. Neuerthesse, at thy commaundement I wyll lose forth the net. ⁶ And when they had this done, they in closed a greate multitude of fysshes. But theyr net brake, ⁷ & they beckened to theyr felowes (which were in the other shyp) that they shulde come, and helpe them. And they came: and fylled both the shyppes, that they soncke agayne.

¹² Uerely verely, I saye vnto you: he that beleueth on me, the worckes that I do, the same shal he do also, & greater worckes then these shall he do, because I go vnto my father.

³⁷ When they hearde this, they were pricked in their hertes, and sayd vnto Peter, & vnto the other Apostles: Ye men & brethren what shall we do?

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

⁴ Howbeit many of them which hearde the wordes beleued, and the nombre of the men was aboute fyue thousande.

⁶ And the people gaue hede vnto those thynges which Philip spake wt one accord, hearyng & seyng the myracles whych he dyd. ⁷ For vncleane spretes cryinge with loude voyce, came out of many that were possessed of them. And many taken wt palsyes, & many that halted, were healed. ⁸ And ther was great ioye in that cyte.

⁴⁸ Whan the gentyls hearde thys, they were glad and glorifyed the worde of the Lorde, & beleued: euen as many as were ordeyned vnto eternal lyfe.

¹⁴ And my temptacyon which was in the flesshe, ye despysed not, nether abhorred: but receaued me as an angell of God: euen as Christ Iesus. ¹⁵ What is then youre felicyte? for I beare you record, that yf it had bene possible ye wolde haue plucked out your awne eyes, and haue geuen them to me.

⁶ And ye became folowers of vs and of the Lorde, receauynge the worde with moch affliccyon, with ioye of the holy goost:

¹⁶ And lyke wyse the other that receaue sede in to the stonye grounde, are they: whych when they heare the worde, at once receaue it wt gladnes, ¹⁷ yet haue no rote in them selues, and so endure but a tyme: and anone whan trouble & persecucyon aryseth for the wordes sake, they fall immediatly.

³⁵ And they tolde, what thynges were done in the waye, and how they knewe hym, in breakynge of bread.

³¹ If ye continue in my worde, then are ye my very disciples, ³² and ye shall knowe the trueth: and the trueth shall make you free.

¹⁴ These all contynued with one accorde in prayer and supplicacyon with the wemen & Mary the mother of Iesu, and with hys brethren.

²³ Assone as they were let go, they came to theyr felowes, and shewed all that the hye Prestes and elders had sayde.

¹² By the handes of the Apostles were many sygnes and wondres shewed among the people. And they were all together with one accorde in Salomons porche. ¹³ And of other durst no man ioyne him self to them: neuertheles the people magnified them. ¹⁴ The nombred of them that beleued in the Lorde both of men and wemen, grewe more & moare:

⁴ But we wyll geue oure selues continually to prayer, and to the ministracyon of the worde.

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.

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.

⁷ And vpon one of the Saboth dayes, whan the disciples came together for to breake breed Paul preached vnto them (ready to departe on the morowe) & continued the preaching vnto mydnyght.

¹² Reioyce in hope. Be pacient in tribulacion. Continue in prayer.

¹⁶ Is not the cupp of blessynge which we blesse, partakynge of the bloude of Christ? ¹⁷ is not the breed whych we breake, partetakynge of the body of Chryst? because that we (though we be many) yet are one breed & one bodye, in as moche as we all are partakers of one bred.

²¹ Ye can not dryncke of the cup of the Lorde, and of the cup of deuyls. Ye cannot be the partakers of the Lordes table, and of the table of deuelles.

² I commende you brethren, that ye remember me in all thynges, and kepe the ordinaunces, euen as I delyuered them to you.

²⁰ When ye come to gether therfore into one place, the Lordes supper can not be eaten. For euery man begynneth afore to eate his awne supper. ²¹ And one is hongry, and another is droncken. Haue ye not houses to eate and to drincke in? ²² Despyse ye the congregacion of God, and shame them that haue not? What shall I saye vnto you? shal I prayse you? In this prayse I you not. ²³ That which I delyuered vnto you, I receaued of the Lorde. For the Lorde Iesus the same nyght, in which he was betrayed, toke breed: ²⁴ and whan he had geuen thankes, he brake it and sayde: Take ye, and eate: this is my body, whych is broken for you. This do ye in the remembraunce of me. ²⁵ After the same maner also he toke the cup, when supper was done, sayinge: This cuppe is the new testament in my bloude. Thys do as oft as ye dryncke it, in remembraunce of me. ²⁶ For as often as ye shall eate this breed, and drincke this cup: ye shall shewe the Lordes deeth tyll he come.

⁶ I maruayle, that ye are so soone turned (from Christ which called you by grace) vnto another Gospe

²⁰ and are buylt vpon the foundacyon of the Apostles and Prophetes, Iesus Chryst him selfe beynge the heed corner stone,

² Continue in prayer, & watch in the same with thankes geuynge,

¹⁴ But continue thou in the thynges which thou hast learned, which also were commytted vnto the, knowinge of whom thou hast learned them,

²⁵ not forsakynge the felishyppe that we haue among our selues, as the maner of some is: but let vs exhorte one another, & so moch the more, because ye se that the daye draweth nye.

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

¹ This is the seconde epistle that I now write vnto you dearly beloued, wherwith I stere vp your syncere mynde, by putting you in remembraunce, ² that ye maye be myndefull of the wordes (whych were tolde before of the holy Prophetes) and also the commaundement of vs whych be Apostles of the Lorde and sauyour

¹⁷ Ye therfore beloued, (seynge ye be warned afore hand) beware, lest ye, wyth other men be also plucked awaye thorow the erroure of the wycked, and fall from your awne stedfastnes: ¹⁸ but growe in grace, & in the knowledge of oure Lorde and sauyoure Iesus Christ. To whom be glory both now and for euer. Amen.

³ That which we haue sene & herde, declare we vnto you, that ye also maye haue fellowshyppe with vs, and that oure felloushyppe maye be wyth the father and his sonne Iesus Christ.

⁷ But & yf we walke in lyght euen as he is in lyght, then haue we fellishippe wt him, and the bloude of Iesus Christ his sonne clenseth vs from all synne.

¹⁹ They went out from vs, but they were not of vs. For yf they had bene of vs, they wolde no dout haue continued with vs. But that it myght appeare, that they were not of vs.

²⁰ But ye derlye beloued, edifye youre selues in your most holy fayth, prayinge in the holy goost,

⁹ And thys shall get me a name, a prayse, & honoure among all the people of the earth, which shall heare all the good, that I wyll shewe vnto them: yee, they shall be afrayed and astonyed at all the good dedes and benefytes that I wyll do for them.

¹⁶ And ther came a feare on them al. And they gaue the glory vnto God, sayinge: A great prophete is rysen vp among vs, & God hath visited his people.

³⁷ And all the multitude of the Gederenites, besought him, that he wold departe from them: for they were taken with great feare. And he gate him vp into the shyp, and returned backe agayne.

⁶ Then sayde Peter: Syluer and golde haue I none such as I haue, geue I the. In the name of Iesus Chryst of Nazareth, ryse vp and walke. ⁷ And he toke hym by the ryght hand, and lyfte hym vp. And immediatly hys fete and anclebones receaued strength. ⁸ And he sprange, stode, and walked, and entred with them into the temple, walkynge, and leapynge, and praysynge God. ⁹ And all the people sawe hym walke and prayse God.

¹¹ And great feare came on all the congregacyon, and on as many as hearde it. ¹² By the handes of the Apostles were many sygnes and wondres shewed among the people. And they were all together with one accorde in Salomons porche. ¹³ And of other durst no man ioyne him self to them: neuertheles the people magnified them.

¹⁵ in so moch that they brought the sycke into the stretes, and layde them on beddes and couches, that at the least waye the shadowe of Peter when he came by, myght shadowe some of them, ¹⁶ There came also a multitude out of the cyties rounde aboute, vnto Ierusalem, bryngynge sycke folkes, and them which were vexed with vnclene spretes. And they were healed euery one.

³⁴ And Peter sayde vnto hym: Eneas? The Lord Iesu Christ make the whole: aryse, and make thy beed. And he arose immediatly.

⁴⁰ And Peter put them all forth, and kneled downe, and prayde. and turned him to the body, and sayd: Tabitha, aryse. And she opened her eyes, and when she sawe Peter, she sat vp.

⁴ Pertayned it not vnto the onely? & after it was solde, was it not in thyne awne power? Why hast thou conceaued this thinge in thyne herte? Thou hast not lyed vnto men, but vnto God.

¹ In those dayes (whan the nomber of the discyples grewe) there arose a grudge amonge the Grekes against the Hebrues, because their weddowes were despysed in the dayly ministracyon. ² Then the twelue called the multitude of the disciples together and sayde, it is not mete, that we shuld leaue the worde of God: and serue tables. 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.

⁹ For ye knowe the liberalytie of oure Lord Iesus Christ, that though he was ryche, yet for youre sakes he became poore that ye, thorowe hys pouertye, myght be made ryche.

¹⁴ but that ther be egalnes nowe at this tyme: and that your aboundance maye sucker their lacke: and that theyr aboundance maye supply youre lacke: ¹⁵ that there maye be equalyte, agreynge to that which is wrytten: He that had moche, had not the more aboundance: & he that had a litle, had neuer the lesse.

⁶ This yet I saye: he which soweth lytell, shal reape lytell: & he that soweth (in geuyng) largelye and frelye, shall reape plenteouslye: ⁷ And let euery man do, accordinge as he hath purposed in hys herte, not groudgyngly, or of necessyte. For God loueth a chearfull geuer. ⁸ God is able to make you riche in all grace that ye in all thynges hauynge sufficyent vnto the vtmost, maye be riche vnto all maner of good workes, ⁹ as it is wrytten: He hath sparsed abroade, and hath geuen to the poore, hys ryghtewesnesse remayneth for euer. ¹⁰ He that minystreth seed vnto the sower, minystre breed also for fode: and multyplye youre seede, and increase the frutes of youre ryghtewesnesse, ¹¹ that on all partes, ye maye be made ryche into all synglenes, which causeth thorowe vs, that thankes are geuen vnto God. ¹² For the offyce of thys minystracion, not onely supplyeth the nede of the saynctes: but also is aboundaunt herin, that for thys laudable minystringe, thankes might be geuen to God of many, ¹³ which prayse God for the obedience of youre consentynge to the Gospell of Christ, and for youre synglenesse in distrybutyng to them, and to all men, ¹⁴ and in theyr prayers for you, which longe after you, for the aboundaunt grace of God in you. ¹⁵ Thankes be vnto God, for hys vnspeakeable gyfte.

¹⁶ Herby perceaue we loue: because he gaue his lyfe for vs: & we ought to geue oure liues for the brethren. ¹⁷ But whoso hath thys worldes good and seyth hys brother haue neade: and shutteth vp his compassion from him: how dwelleth the loue of God in hym? ¹⁸ My babes, let vs not loue in worde, nether in tonge: but in dede & in veritie.

⁹ He hath sparsed abroad, and geuen to the poore: and his ryghteousnes remayneth for euer, hys horne shalbe exalted wyth honoure.

²⁴ Some man geueth out his goodes, and is the rycher, but the nygard (hauynge ynough) wyll departe from nothynge, and yet is euer in pouertye. ²⁵ He that is liberall in geuynge, shall haue plenty, and he that watereth, shall be watered also him selfe.

¹⁷ He that hath pitye vpon the poore, lendeth vnto the Lorde: and loke what he layeth out, it shalbe payed hym agayne.

¹ Lay thy brede vpon weate faces, & so shalt thou fynde after many dayes. ² Geue parte .vii. dayes, and also vpon the eyght, for thou knowest not what misery shall come vpon earth.

⁷ to deale thy bread to the hongry, & bringe the poore wandringe, home into thy house, when thou seest the naked that thou couer him, and hyde not thy face from thy neyghboure. ⁸ Then shall thy lyght breake forth as the mornyng, & thy health floryshe ryght shortly: thy righteousnesse shall go before the, and the glory of the Lorde shall embrace the. ⁹ Then yf thou callest, the Lorde shall answere the: yf thou cryest, he shall saye: here I am. Yee, yf thou layest awaye from the thy burthens, and holdest thy fingers, & ceasest from blasphemous talkinge, ¹⁰ yf thou hast compassyon vpon the hongrye, & refreshest the troubled soule: Then shall thy lyght sprynge out in the darcknesse, & thy darcknesse shalbe as the noone day. ¹¹ The lord shall euer be thy guyd, & satisfie the desyre of thyne herte in the tyme of drougthe, & fyll thy bones wt mary. Thou shalt be lyke a fresh waterd garden & lyke the fountayne of water, that neuer leaueth runnynge. ¹² Then the places that haue euer bene waste, shalbe builded of the: there shalt thou laye a foundacion for many kynredes. Thou shalt be called the maker vp of hedges, & the buylder agayne of the waye of the Sabboth.

²¹ Iesus sayd vnto hym, yf thou wilt be perfecte go & sell that thou hast, & geue to the poore, & shall haue treasure in heauen, & come & folowe me.

³³ Sell that ye haue, and geue almes. And prepare you bagges, which wexe not olde, euen a treasure that fayleth not in heauen, where no thefe commeth, nether moth corrupteth. ³⁴ For where youre treasure is, there will youre herte be also.

⁹ And I saye vnto you: make you frendes of the vnryghteous mammon, that when ye shall haue nede they may receaue you into euerlastyng habitacyons.

²² When Iesus hearde that, he sayd vnto hym: Yet lackest thou one thynge. Sell all that thou hast, and distrybute vnto the poore, and thou shalt haue treasure in heauen, and come, folowe me.

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

³⁴ Nether was ther eny among them, that lacked. For as many as were possessers of landes or houses, solde them, and brought the pryce of the thinges that were solde,

²⁹ Then the disciples euery man accordynge to his abylyte, purposed to sende socour vnto the brethren which dwelt in Iewry.

¹ Of the ministrynge to the saynctes, it is but superfluous for me to wryte vnto you:

⁹ as it is wrytten: He hath sparsed abroade, and hath geuen to the poore, hys ryghtewesnesse remayneth for euer.

¹⁸ that they do good: that they be riche in good workes: that they be redy to geue & gladly to distribute, ¹⁹ laying vp in store for them selues a good fundacion against the tyme to come, that they maye obtayne eternall lyfe.

¹⁴ What auayleth it my brethren, though a man saye he hath fayth, yf he haue no dedes? Can fayth saue hi ¹⁵ If a brother or a syster be naked & destitute of dayly fode, ¹⁶ & one of you saye vnto them: departe in peace, God send you warmnes & fode, not wtstandyng ye geue them not those thinges which are nedful to the body, what shal it helpe?

¹ Go to now ye ryche men. Wepe, and howle on your wretchednes that shal come vpon you. ² Your riches is corrupte, your garmentes are motheaten, ³ Youre golde & syluer is cankred, and the rust of the shalbe a wytnes vnto you, & shall eate youre flesshe as it were fyre. Ye haue heaped treasure together in your last dayes: ⁴ Beholde the hyre of labourers which haue reaped downe youre feldes (which hyre is of you kept backe by fraude) cryeth: & the cryes of them which haue reaped, are entred in to the eares of the Lord Sabaoth. ⁵ Ye haue lyued in pleasure on the erthe, & bene wantan. Ye haue norysshed youre hertes, as in a daye of slaughter.

¹⁷ But whoso hath thys worldes good and seyth hys brother haue neade: and shutteth vp his compassion from him: how dwelleth the loue of God in hym?

⁷ And there ye shall eate before the Lorde youre God, & ye shall reioyse in all that ye put youre hande vnto both ye and youre housholdes, wherin the Lord thy God hath blessed the.

¹² And ye shall reioyse before the Lorde youre God, ye and youre sonnes, & youre daughters, youre seruauntes and youre maydens, and the Leuite that is wythin youre gates for asmoch as he hath no parte nor enheritaunce wyth you.

¹¹ And reioyse before the Lorde thy God, thou & thy sonne, thy daughter, thy seruaunte & thy mayde and the Leuite that is within thy gates, and the straunger, the fatherlesse & the wedowe that are amonge you, in the place whych the Lorde thy God hath chosen to put hys name there.

¹⁰ And he sayd vnto them: go youre waye, and eate the fat, & drincke the swete, & sende parte vnto them also that haue not prepared them selues: for thys daye is holy vnto oure Lorde, be not ye sory therfore: for the ioye of the Lorde is youre strength.

¹¹ Teach me thy waye, (O Lord) and I will walke in thy trueth: O knytt my hert vnto the, that it maye feare thy name.

⁷ Go thou thy waye then, eate thy bred wyth ioye, and dryncke thy wyne with a glad hart, for thy workes please God.

²² The light of the body is the eye. Wherfore, yf thyne eye be single, all thy body shall be full of light.

⁴¹ Neuerthelesse, geue almose of that ye haue, and behold, all thinges are cleane vnto you.

³⁰ And it came to passe, as he sate at meate wyth them, he toke bread, and blessed it, and brake, and gaue to them.

⁵³ and were contynually in the temple praysynge & laudynge God, Amen.

¹³ And when they were come in, they went vp into a parler, where aboade both Peter and Iames, and Iohn and Andrew, Philip & Thomas, Barthelemew and Mathew, Iames the sonne of Alpheus, and Simon Zelotes, and Iudas the brother of Iames. ¹⁴ These all contynued with one accorde in prayer and supplicacyon with the wemen & Mary the mother of Iesu, and with hys brethren.

⁴² And they continued in the Apostles doctrine and felowshyp, & in breakynge of bread, and in prayers.

¹ Peter and Iohn went vp together into the temple at the nynth houre of prayer.

²¹ When they hearde that, they entred into the temple early in the mornynge: and taught. But the chefe preste came and they that were with him, and called a counsell together, and all the elders of the chyldren of Israel, and sent men to the preson, to fet them.

⁴² And dayly in the temple and in euery house they ceased not, to teach and preach Iesus Christ.

³⁴ And when he had brought them into hys house, he set meate before them, and ioyed that he with all his housholde, beleued on God.

⁸ Let hym that exhorteth, geue attendaunce to his exhortacion. If eny man geue, let hym do it with synglenes. Let hym that ruleth, do it wit diligence. If eny man shewe mercy, let hym do it with cherfulnes.

³⁰ For yf I take my parte with thankes, why am I euyll spoken of, for that thynge wherfore I geue thankes? ³¹ Whether therfore ye eate or dryncke, or whatsoeuer ye do, do all to the prayse of God.

²⁰ When ye come to gether therfore into one place, the Lordes supper can not be eaten. For euery man begynneth afore to eate his awne supper. ²¹ And one is hongry, and another is droncken. Haue ye not houses to eate and to drincke in? ²² Despyse ye the congregacion of God, and shame them that haue not? What shall I saye vnto you? shal I prayse you? In this prayse I you not.

¹² For oure reioysinge is this, euen the testimony of oure conscience, that in synglenes and godly purenes, & not in fleshly wysdom, but by the grace of God, we haue had oure conuersacyon in the world, and most of all to you wardes.

³ But I feare lest it come to passe that as the serpent begyled Eue thorowe hys subteltye, euen so your wittes shulde be corrupte from the synglenes that ye had toward Christ.

⁵ Ye seruauntes, obeye them that are youre bodely masters, with feare & tremblynge, euen with the synglenes of youre herte, as vnto Christ:

²² Ye seruauntes be obedient vnto them that are youre bodyly masters in all thinges: not with eye seruice as men pleasers, but in synglenes of herte, fearynge God.

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

⁴⁸ & coulde not fynde what to do. For all the people stacke by hym, whan they hearde hym.

³⁹ For the promyse was made vnto you and to youre chyldren, and to all that are a farre of, euen as many as the Lorde oure God shall call.

⁴¹ Then they that gladly receaued his preachinge, were baptised: and the same daye, ther were added vnto them aboute thre thousande soules.

²¹ So threatened they them, and let them go, and founde nothynge howe to punysshe them, because of the people. For all men praysed God because of that which was done:

⁵ And so were the congregacyons stablyshed in the fayth, and encreased in nombre dayly.

²⁷ But Esay cryeth concerning Israel though the nombre of the chyldren of Israel be as the sonde of the see, yet the remnaunt shall be saued

⁵ Euen so also at thys tyme is ther a remanaunt lefte accordynge to the eleccyon of grace. ⁶ If it be of grace, then is it not now of workes. For then grace is nomore grace. But If it be of workes, then is it now no grace. For then were deseruynge nomore deseruynge. ⁷ What then? Israel hath not obtayned that which he seketh: but the eleccyon hath obtayned it. The remnaunt are blynded

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

¹⁸ For the preaching of the crosse, is to them that perisshe, foolishnes: but vnto vs which are saued it is the power of God.

⁴ But after that the kyndnes and loue of oure saueoure God to man warde appeared, ⁵ not by the dedes of rightewesnes which we wrought, but accordynge to hys mercye he saued vs by the fountayne of the newe byrth, and renuynge of the holy goost,
