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:

²⁶ Feare them not therfore. For there is nothing closse, that shall not be opened: and nothynge hyd, that shall not be knowen.

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;

³⁰ And of hym are ye, in Chryst Iesu, whych of God is made vnto vs, wysdome, & rightwesnes, and sanctifyinge, and redempcyon.

⁶ We speake of wysdome amonge them that are perfecte: not the wysdome of this world, nether of the rulars of this worlde (whych go to nought) ⁷ but we speake the wysdome of God, whych is in secrete & lyeth hyd, which God ordeyned before the worlde, vnto oure glory: ⁸ which wysdome none of the rulars of this worlde knewe. For had they had knowlege, they wold not haue crucifyed the Lorde of glory.

¹⁹ For it pleased the father, that in him shulde all fulnes dwell,

¹⁶ Let the worde of Chryst dwell in you plenteously with all wysdome. Teache and exhorte youre awne selues, in Psalmes, and hymnes, and spirituall songes syngynge with grace in youre hertes to the Lorde

¹⁵ and for as moch also as of a chylde thou hast knowen the holy scriptures which are able to make the lerned vnto saluacyon thorow the fayth which is in Christ Iesu. ¹⁶ All scripture geuen by inspiracyon of God, is proffitable to teache, to improue, to amende and to instruct in ryghtewesnes, ¹⁷ that the man of God maye be perfecte & prepared vnto all good workes.

¹⁷ Let hym that hath eares, heare, what the sprete sayth vnto the congregacyons. To hym that ouercommeth, wyll I geue to eate Manna that is hyd, & wyll geue hym a whyte stone, & in the stone a newe name wrytten, which no man knoweth, sauynge he that receaueth it.

⁴ And Iesus answered, and sayd vnto them: take hede, that no man deceaue you.

²⁴ For there shall aryse false Chrystes, and false prophetes and shall shew great miracles, & wondres. In so moch (that yf it were possyble) the verie electe shuld be deceaued:

²² For false Christes & false prophetes shall ryse, & shall shewe myracles & wondres, to deceaue yf it were possible, euen the electe.

³⁰ Moreouer, of youre awne selues shall men arise, speaking peruerse thinges to drawe disciples after them.

¹⁸ For they that are suche, serue not the Lorde Iesus Christ, but their awne bellyes, & with swete and flatterynge wordes, deceaue the hertes of the innocentes. ¹⁹ For your obedience is gone abroade vnto all men. I am glad therfore no dout, of you. But yet I wolde haue you wyse vnto that which is good, & to be innocente as concernynge euyll.

⁴ And my wordes and my preachynge was not wt entysynge wordes of mannes wysdome: but in shewynge of the sprete and of power,

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.

¹¹ Wherfore? Because I loue you not? God knoweth. ¹² Neuertheles, what I do, that wyll I do, to cut awaye occasyon from them which desyre occasion: that they might be founde lyke vnto vs, in that wherin they reioyce. ¹³ For soch fals apostles are disceatfull workers, and fassy on them selues lyke vnto the apostles of Christ.

⁴ and that because of incommers beynge false brethren, which came in preuely to spye out oure libertye which we haue in Christ Iesu, that they myght bringe vs in to bondage.

¹⁴ That we hence forth shulde be nomore chyldren, wauerynge & caryed aboute with euery wynde of doctrine, by the wylynes of men, thorowe craftynes, wherby they laye a wayte for vs to deceaue vs.

⁶ Let no man deceaue you with vayne wordes. For because of soche thynges commeth the wrath of God, vpon the chyldren of disobedience.

⁸ Beware, lest eny man spoyle you thorowe philosophy and disceatfull vanitie, after the tradicyon of men, and after the ordinaunces of the worlde, & not after Christ.

¹⁸ Let no man make you shote at a wronge marke, by the humblenes and holynes of angels, in the thynges which he neuer sawe, beynge causelesse puft vp with his flesshly mynde,

⁹ euen hym whose commynge is after the workynge of Satan, with all lyinge power sygnes and wonders. ¹⁰ and with all deceauablenes of vnryghtwesnes, amonge them that perysshe: because they receaued not the loue of the trueth, that they myght be saued. ¹¹ And therfore, God shall sende them stronge delusyon, that they shulde beleue lyes:

¹ The sprete speaketh euydently, that in the later tymes some shall departe from the fayth, and shall geue hede vnto spretes of erroure, and deuelysshe doctrines of them ² which speake false thorowe ypocrysye, & haue their consciences marcked wt an hote yron,

¹⁶ As for vngoostly vanyties of voyces, passe thou ouer them. For they wyll encreace vnto greater vngodlynes,

¹³ But the euyll men & disceauers shall wexe worsse and worsse, whill they deceaue and are deceaued them selues.

¹⁰ For ther are many vnruely and talkers of vanite, and disceauers of myndes, specially they that are of the circumcision, ¹¹ whose mouthes must be stopped which peruert whole houses, teachinge thinges which they ought not, because of fylthy lucre.

¹ Wherfore laye asyde all maliciousnes & al gyle, & faynednesse & enuy and all backbytinge: ² & as new borne babes, desyre ye that mylke (not of the body but of the soule) which is wt out disceate that ye maye growe ther by ³ If so be that ye haue tasted, how gracious the Lorde is,

¹⁸ Lytell chyldren, it is the last tyme, and as ye haue herde how that Antichrist shall come, euen now are there many begonne to be Antichristes allredy, wherby we knowe, that it is the last tyme.

²⁶ These thinges haue I writen vnto you, concernynge them that disceaue you.

¹ Dearly beloued beleue not euery sprete: but proue the spretes, whether they are of god or not, for many false prophetes are gone out into the worlde.

⁷ For many deceauers are entred into the worlde, whych confesse not that Iesus Christ is come in the fleshe. This is a deceauer and an Antichrist.

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

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 and cast hym into the bottomlesse pyt, and he shutte hym vp, and set a seale on hym, that he shulde deceaue the people nomore, tyll the thousande yeres were fulfylled. And after that he must be losed for a lytell season.

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:

¹⁸ When she sawe that she was stedfastly mynded to go with her, she lefte speakynge vnto her.

³⁵ And therto the burnt offerynges were many with the fatte of the peace offeringes & the drinke offerynges that be longe to the burnt offerynge. And so the seruice pertayninge to the house of the Lorde was fynisshed.

⁸ That they myght put their trust in God, and not to forget the workes of God, but to kepe his commaundementes.

³⁷ For their herte was not whole wyth hym, nether contynued they stedfast in hys couenaunt.

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

³ For I verely as absent in body, but present in sprete, haue determined allready (as though I were present) concernynge hym that hath done this dede, ⁴ in the name of oure Lord Iesu Christ, when ye are gathered together, and my sprete wt you, with the power of the Lorde Iesus Chryst

³⁴ If any man honger, let him eate at home, that ye come not together vnto condemnacyon. Other thynges will I set in order, when I come.

⁴⁰ let all thynges be done honestly and in order

⁵⁸ Therfore my deare brethren, be ye stedfast and vnmouable, alwayes ryche in the worke of the Lorde, for as moch as ye knowe, how that youre labour, is not in vayne in the Lorde.

¹³ Watche ye, stonde fast in the fayth, quyte you lyke men, be stronge.

¹ For I wolde that ye knewe howe greate care that I haue for you and for them that are at Laodicia, and for as many as haue not sene my parson in the flessh,

¹⁷ For as moch brethren as we are kept from you for a season, as concernynge the bodyly presence (but not in the herte) we enforsed the more to se you personally with great desyre.

⁸ For now are we alyue, yf ye stande stedfast in the Lorde.

¹⁴ We are made partetakers of Christ, yf we kepe sure (vnto the ende) the begynnynge of the substance,

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

⁹ whom resyst stedfast in the fayth, knowing, that the same affliccyons are apoynted vnto your brethren, that are in the worlde.

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.

⁵ Come ye (O house of Iacob) let vs walcke in the lyght of the Lorde.

² and the multitude of the Gentiles shall haste them thyther, sayeng: Come, let vs go vp to the hyll of the Lorde, and to the house of the God of Iacob: that he maye teach vs hys waye, and that we maye walcke in his pathes. For the lawe shall come out of Sion, & the worde of God from Ierusalem,

⁴⁰ He that receaueth you, receaueth me: & he that receaueth me, receaueth him that sent me.

¹² But as many as receaued hym to them gaue he power to be the sonnes of God: euen them that beleued on hys name: ¹³ whych were borne, not of bloude nor of the wyll of the flesshe, nor yet of the wyll of man: but of God.

²⁰ Uerely verely, I saye vnto you: He that receaueth whomsoeuer I sende, receaueth me. And he that receaueth me, receaueth him that sent me.

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

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

²⁰ I am crucified wt Christ. Neuertheles I lyue: yet nowe not I, but Christ lyueth in me. The lyfe which I nowe lyue in the flesshe, I lyue by the fayth of the sonne of God which loued me, and gaue hym selfe for me.

¹ I therfore (which am a presonner of the Lordes) exhorte you, that ye walke worthy of the vocacyon wherwith ye are called,

¹ Be ye therfore folowers of God as deare chyldren, ² and walke ye in loue euen as Christ loued vs, and gaue him selfe for vs an offerynge and a sacrifyce of a swete sauer to God

²⁷ Onely let youre conuersacyon be, as it be commeth the Gospell of Christ: that whether I come & se you, or els be absent, I maye yet heare of youre condicyon, that ye contynue in one sprete, and in one soule, labourynge as we do, to mayntayne the fayth of the Gospell,

¹⁰ that ye myght walke worthy of the Lorde that in all thinges ye maye please beynge frutefull in all good workes, and encreasynge in the knowledge of God,

¹⁷ And whatsouer ye do (in worde or dede) do all in the name of the Lord Iesu, geuynge thankes to God the father by hym.

¹ Furthermore, we beseche you (brethren) and exhorte you by the Lord Iesus, that ye increace more & more euen as ye haue receaued of vs, how ye ought to walcke and to please God.

⁶ He that sayth he bydeth in hym, ought to walke euen as he walked.

¹¹ because he beleued not the recorde that God gaue of hys sonne. And this is that recorde, how that God hath geuen vnto vs eternall lyfe, & this lyfe is in hys sonne. ¹² He that hath the sonne hath lyfe: & he that hath not the sonne of God, hath not lyfe.

²⁰ We knowe, that the sonne of God is come, and hath geuen vs a mynde to knowe hym which is true: & we are in hym that is true, through is sonne Iesu Christ. This same is very God, and eternall lyfe.

⁸ Loke on your selues that we loose not that we haue wrought: but that we maye haue ful rewarde. ⁹ Whosoeuer transgresseth & bydeth not in the doctryne of Christ, hath not God. He that endureth in the doctrine of Christ, hath both the father & the sonne.

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

³ And he shalbe lyke a tre planted by the watersyde, that wyll brynge forth hys frute in due season. His leafe also shall not wither: & loke whatsoeuer he doth, it shall prospere.

¹³ The ryghteous shal florish lyke a palme tree, and shal sprede abroade lyke a Cedre in Libanus.

³ that I myght geue vnto them that mourne in Sion, that I myght geue I saye, bewty in the steade of ashes, ioyfull oyntement for syghthinge, pleasaunt rayment for an heuy mynde: That they myght be called trees of ryghteousnesse, a plantynge of the Lorde for hym to reioyce in.

⁸ For he shalbe as a tre, that is planted by the water syde: whyche spredeth out the rote vnto moystnesse, whom the heate cannot harme, when it commeth, but his leaffe shalbe grene. And though there growe but lytle frute because of drouth, yet is he not carefull, but he neuer leaueth of to brynge forth frute.

²³ Namely, vpon the hye hyll of Syon will I plante it: that it maye bringe forth twygges, & geue frute, and be a greate Cedre tree: so that all maner of foules maye bylde in it, & make their nestes vnder the shadow of his braunches. ²⁴ And all the trees of the felde shall knowe that I the Lorde haue brought downe the hye tree, and set the lowe tree vp: that I haue dryed vp the grene tree, and made the drye tree to floryshe: Euen I the Lorde that spake it, haue also brought it to passe.

²⁴ For whosoeuer heareth of me these wordes, & doth the same, I will lyken hym vnto a wyse man, which buylt hys house vpon a rock: ²⁵ and a shower of rayne descended, & the flouddes came, & the wyndes blewe, and bet vpon that house, & it fell not, because it was grounded on the rocke.

⁴⁸ He is lyke a man which bylt an house, and dygged depe, and layde the foundacion on a rock. When the waters arose, the flud bet vpon that house, & coulde not moue it. For it was grounded vpon a rocke.

⁴ Byde in me, and I in you. As the braunche cannot beare frute of it selfe, excepte it byde in the vyne: nomore can ye, except ye abyde in me. ⁵ I am the vyne, ye are the braunches. He that abydeth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth moche frute. For without me can ye do nothing.

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, ¹⁸ boast not thy selfe agaynst the braunches. For yf thou boast thy selfe, thou bearest not the rote, but the rote the.

⁹ For we are Goddes labourers, ye are Goddes husbandrye, ye are Goddes buyldyng: ¹⁰ Accordynge to the grace of God geuen vnto me, as a wyse buylder haue I layde the foundacyon. And another bylt theron. But let euery man take hede, how he byldeth vpon. ¹¹ For another foundacyon can no man laye, then it that is layde, whych is Iesus Christ. ¹² If eny man buylde on this foundacyon, golde, syluer, precyous stones, tymber, haye or stoble: ¹³ euery mannes worcke shall appeare. For the daye shall declare, whych shalbe shewed in fyre. And the fyre shall trye euery mannes worcke, what it is. ¹⁴ If eny mannes worcke that he hath bylt vpon, byde, he shall receaue a rewarde. ¹⁵ If eny mannes worcke burne, he shall suffre losse, but he shalbe safe hym selfe: neuertheles, yet as it were thorowe fyre.

²¹ For it is God, which stablyssheth vs with you in Christ and stondeth by vs, and hath annoynted vs,

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.

¹⁷ that Christ maye dwell in youre hertes by fayth, that ye beynge roted and grounded in loue,

²¹ If so be that ye haue hearde of him, and haue bene taught in him, as the trueth is in Iesu:

²⁰ gyuynge thankes allwayes for all thynges, vnto God the father in the name of oure Lorde Iesus Chryst,

¹² geuynge thankes vnto the father, which hath made vs mete to be partakers of the inheritaunce of saynctes in lyght, ¹³ Which hath delyuered vs from the power of derknes, and hath translated vs into the kyngdome of hys dere sone

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.

¹⁸ In all thynges geue thankes. For this is the wyll of God thorowe Christ Iesu towarde you.

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

¹⁵ By him therfore do we offer sacrifyce of lande alwayes to God: that is to saye, the frute of those lippes, which cofesse his name.

⁴ to whom ye come, as vnto a lyuinge stone, disalowed of men, but chosen of God & precious: ⁵ & ye as lyuinge stones, are made a spretuall house an holy presthode, for to offer vp spretual sacrifyces, acceptable to God by Iesus Christ. ⁶ Wherfore it is contayned also in the scripture: beholde I put in Sion a stone to be layed in the chefe corner, electe & precious. & he that beleueth on him shall not be confounded.

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.

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

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

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

¹² Then beware, lest thou forget the Lorde, whyche broughte the oute of the lande of Egypt from the house of bondage.

¹⁵ Get vs the foxes, yee the lytle foxes, that hurt the vynes, for oure vynes beare blosoms.

⁸ For thus sayth the Lorde of hostes the God of Israel. Let not these prophetes and sothsayers that be among you disceaue you: & beleue not your awne dreames.

¹⁵ Beware of false prophetes, which come to you in shepes clothynge, but in wardly they are rauenyng wolues.

¹⁷ But beware of men, for they shall delyuer you vp to the councels, and shall scourge you in their synagoges.

² why do thy disciples transgresse the tradicion of the elders? for they washe not theyr handes when they eate bread. ³ But he answered & sayde vnto them: why do ye also transgresse the commaundement of God, because of youre awne tradicion: ⁴ For God commaundeth sayinge: honoure father and mother, and he that cursseth father or mother: let hym dye the deeth. ⁵ But ye saye: euery one shall saye to his father and mother: what gift so euer shulde haue come of me, the same is turned vnto thy profyt: & so shall he not honoure his father or his mother. ⁶ And thus haue ye made the commaundement of God of none effecte, because of youre awne tradicyon. ⁷ Ypocrites, full well dyd Esaye prophesie of you, saying: ⁸ This people draweth nye vnto me with theyr mouth, and honoureth me with lyppes, howbeit, their hertes are farre from me: ⁹ but in vayne do they serue me; teachynge the doctrines and preceptes of men.

⁶ Then Iesus sayde vnto them. Take hede and beware of the leuen of the Pharises & of the Saduces.

³ For the Pharyses and all the Iewes, excepte they wasshe theyr handes ofte, eate not, obseruyng the tradicyons of the elders. ⁴ And when they come from the market, except they washe, they eate not. And many other thynges there be, which they haue taken vpon them to obserue, as the wasshynge of cuppes and cruses, and, brasen vessels, and of tables. ⁵ Then asked hym the Pharyses & Scribes: why walke not thy dyscyples accordyng to the custome, ordeyned by the elders, but eate bread wyth vnwasshen handes? ⁶ He answered & sayd vnto them: well prophesyed Esayas of you, ypocrytes, as it is wrytten: Thys people honoreth me wyth theyr lyppes, but theyr herte is farre from me: ⁷ howbeit, in vayne do they serue me, teachyng the doctrines and commaundementes of men. ⁸ For ye laye the commaundement of God a parte, & obserue the constitucyons of men, as the wesshinge of cruses & of cuppes, and many other soch lyke thynges ye do. ⁹ And he sayde vnto them: well, ye cast a syde the commaundement of God, to mayntayne youre awne constitucyons. ¹⁰ For Moses sayd: honoure thy father & thy mother: & whoso curseth father or mother, let him dye the death. ¹¹ But ye saye: a man shall saye to father or mother, Corban: whych is: what gyfte soeuer commeth fro me, shalbe for thy profyt. ¹² And so ye suffre him no more to do ought for hys father or his mother, ¹³ and make the worde of God of none effecte, through youre awne constitucyon whych ye haue ordeyned. And many soche thynges do ye.

¹⁸ Certayne Philosophers of the Epicures and of the Stoyckes, disputed with hym. And some ther were which sayde: what will thys babler saye? Other sayde: he semeth to be a tydynges brynger of newe deuyls, because he preacheth vnto them Iesus & the resurreccion.

³² When they hearde of the resurreccion from deeth, some mocked, and other sayd: we wyll heare the agayne of thys matter.

²¹ because that when they knewe God, they glorifyed hym not as God, nether were thankfull but wexed full of vanities in theyr imaginacions, and theyr folysh hert was blynded. ²² When they counted them selues wyse, they became fooles

¹⁷ I beseche you brethren, marke them which cause diuisyon & geue occasions of euyll, contrary to the doctrine, which ye haue learned: & auoyde them.

¹⁹ For it is wrytten: I will destroye the wysdome of the wyse, and wyll cast awaye the vnderstandynge of the prudent. ²⁰ Where is the wyse? Where is the scrybe? Where is the disputer of this worlde? ²¹ Hath not God made the wysdome of this worlde foolishnes? For after that the worlde thorowe wysdome knewe not God, in the wysdome of God, it pleased God thorowe foolyshnes of preachynge, to saue them that beleue. ²² For the Iewes require a sygne, and the Grekes seke after wysdome. ²³ But we preache Christ crucifyed, vnto the Iewes an occasyon of fallynge, and vnto the Grekes foolysihnes:

¹⁸ Let no man deceaue him selfe. If eny man seme wyse to hym selfe amonge you, let hym become a foole in this worlde, that he maye be wyse. ¹⁹ For the wysdom of thys worlde is folyshnes with God. For it is wrytten: he compaseth the wyse in theyr craftynes.

³⁵ But some man will saye: howe aryse the deed? wt what bodye shall they come? ³⁶ Thou foole, that which thou sowest, is not quickened, except it dye.

⁵ wherewith we ouerthrowe councels and euery hye thynge that exalteth it selfe agaynst the knowledge of God, and brynge into captiuyte all ymaginacion to the obedience of Christ,

¹⁴ and preuayled in the Iewes waye aboue many of my companions in myne awne nacyon beynge a very feruent mayntener of the tradicyons of the elders.

³ Euen so we also, when we were chyldren, were in bondage vnder the ordynaunces of the worlde.

⁹ But nowe after that ye haue knowen God (yee rather are knowen of God) how is it that ye tourne agayn vnto the weake and beggarly ordinaunces, wherunto agayne ye desyre afresshe to be in bondage?

² in the which in tyme passed ye walked, accordyng to the course of this worlde, euen after the gouerner that ruleth in the ayer, the sprete that nowe worketh in the chyldren of vnbelefe

²⁰ But ye haue not so learned Christ.

² Beware of dogges, beware of euyll workers. Beware of dissensyon.

²⁰ Wherfore, yf ye be deed with Chryst from the ordinaunces of the worlde, why as though ye yet lyued in the worlde, are ye led with tradicions?

²² which all perisshe thorowe the very abuse: after the commaundmentes and doctrynes of men:

²⁰ O Timothe, saue that which is geuen the to kepe, and avoyde vngostly vanyties of voyces and opposycyons of science falsly so called:

¹⁷ & theyr wordes shall fret euen as doeth the disease of a cancre: of whose nombre is. Hymeneus and Philetus, ¹⁸ whych (as concernynge the trueth) haue erred, sayinge, that the resurreccyon is past all redy, and do destroye the fayth of some.

⁹ Be not caryed aboute with diuers and straunge learnyng. For it is a good thynge that the herte be stablysshed with grace, and not wt meates, which haue not proffeted them that haue had theyr pastyme in them.

¹⁸ For as moch as ye knowe, how that ye were not redemed wyth corruptible thynges (as syluer & golde) from youre vayne conuersacion, whych ye receaued by the tradicion of the fathers:

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:

⁸ Loke on your selues that we loose not that we haue wrought: but that we maye haue ful rewarde.

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.

²³ Behold, a mayd shalbe wt chylde, & shall bring forth a sonne, & they shall call his name Emanuel, which yf a man interpret, it is asmoch to say as God with vs.

²² and the holy goost cam downe in a bodely shape lyke a doue vpon him, and a voyce came from heauen, which sayde: Thou arte my beloued sonne, in the do I delyte.

¹⁴ And the same worde became flesshe, and dwelt amonge vs: and we sawe the glory of it, as the glory of the onely begotten sonne of the father, full of grace and trueth.

²¹ But he spake of the temple of his body.

⁹ Iesus sayth vnto hym: haue I bene so longe tyme with you, & yet hast thou not knowen me? Philip, he that hath sene me, hath sene my father. And howe sayest thou then: shewe vs the father? 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.

²⁰ That daye shall ye knowe that I am in my father, and you in me, and I in you.

²¹ that they al maye be one, as thou father art in me, and I in the, and that they also maye be one in vs: that the worlde maye beleue, that thou hast sent me:

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

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

¹³ lokynge for the blessed hope & appearinge of the glory of the greate God, & of oure sauioure Iesu Christ,

¹⁶ And of hys fulnes haue all we receaued, euen grace for grace.

³⁰ And of hym are ye, in Chryst Iesu, whych of God is made vnto vs, wysdome, & rightwesnes, and sanctifyinge, and redempcyon. ³¹ That accordynge as it is written: he which reioyseth, shulde reioyce in the Lorde.

²⁶ For ye are all chyldren of God, because ye beleue in Christ Iesu. ²⁷ For all ye that are baptised haue put on Christ. 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. ²⁹ If ye be Christes, then are ye Abrahams seede, and heyres accordynge to the promes.

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.

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

¹⁵ But let vs folowe the trueth in loue, and in all thynges growe in hym, which is the heed, euen Christ, ¹⁶ in whom yf all the body be coupled and knet together thorow out euery ioynt wherwith one ministreth to another (accordynge to the operacyon as euery parte hath hys measure) he increaseth the body, vnto the edifyinge of it selfe thorowe loue.

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.

¹⁶ For by him were all thynges created, that are in heuen, and that are in erth: visyble and inuisyble, whether they be maieste or lorde shyppe, ether rule or power. All thynges were creatyd by hym and for hym, ¹⁷ & he is before all thynges, and by him all thynges haue theyr beynge. ¹⁸ And he is the heed of the body, euen of the congregacyon: he is the begynnynge and fyrst begotten of the deed, that in all thynges he myght haue the preeminence.

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

⁹ & he beynge perfecte, was the cause of eternall saluacion vnto all them that obeyed him:

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

⁹ & they songe a new songe, saying: thou art worthy to take the boke, & to open the seales therof: for thou wast kylled, & hast redemed vs by thy bloud out of all kynredes, & tonges, & people, & nacyons, ¹⁰ and hast made vs vnto oure God, kynges, and prestes, & we shall raygne on the erth. ¹¹ And I behelde, and I hearde the voyce of many angels about the trone, & about the beaste & the elders, and I hearde thousand thousandes, ¹² saying wt a lowde voyce: Worthy is the lambe that was kylled to receaue power, & ryches, & wysdome, and strength, and honour, & glory, & blessynge. ¹³ And all the creatures whych are in heauen, & on the erth, & vnder the erth, & in the see, & all that are in them, herde I sayinge, blessyng, honour, glory, & power be vnto hym that sytteth vpon the seate, & vnto the lambe for euermore.

¹⁶ Circumcyse therfore the foreskynne of youre harte, and be no more stiffnecked:

⁶ And the Lorde thy God wyll circumcyse thyne hert, and the hert of thy seed, that thou mayest loue the Lord thy God wythall thyne hert, and all thy soule, that thou mayst lyue.

⁴ Be circumcysed in the Lorde, and cut awaye the foreskynne of youre hertes, all yee of Iuda, and all the indwellers of Ierusalem: that my indignacyon breake not out lyke fyre and kyndle, so that no man maye quench it, because of the wyckednes of youre ymaginacyons.

⁵⁸ We herde him saye: I will destroye this temple that is made wyth handes, and wyth in thre dayes I wyll buylde another, made without handes.

²¹ And when the eyght daye was come that the childe shulde be circuncised his name was called Iesus which was named of the Angell, before he was conceaued in the wombe.

⁴⁸ Howbeit he that is hyest of al, dwelleth not in temples made with handes, as sayth the prophete:

²⁴ God that made the worlde and all that are in it (seing that he is Lorde of heauen and earth) dwelleth not in tempels made with handes,

²⁹ But he is a Iewe which his hyd wythin, and the circumcisyon of the herte is the true circumcisyon, whych consisteth in the sprete and not in the letter: whose prayse is not of men, but of God.

⁶ knowyng thys, that oure olde man is crucifyed with hym also, that the body of sinne myght vtterly be destroyed, that hence forth we shuld not be seruauntes vnto synne.

¹ For we knowe that yf oure erthy mancion of this dwellyng were destroyed, we haue a byldinge of God, an habitacyon not made with handes, but eternall in heauen.

¹⁷ Therfore yf eny man be in Christ, he is a newe creature Olde thynges are passed awaye, beholde, all thinges are become new.

⁴ But when the tyme was full come, God sent hys sonne, made of a woman, and made bonde vnto the lawe, ⁵ to redeme them which were bonde vnto the lawe: that we (thorowe eleccion) might receaue the inheritaunce that belongeth vnto the naturall sonnes.

²⁴ They trulye that are Christes, haue crucifyed the flesshe with the affeccions and lustes.

¹⁰ For we are his worckmanshyppe, created in Chryst Iesu vnto good workes, whiche God ordeyned, that we shulde walke in them. ¹¹ Wherfore, remember that ye beynge in tyme passed gentyls in the flesshe, were called vncircumcisyon from that whych is called circumcisyon in the flesshe, which circumcision is made by handes: ¹² remember (I saye) that at that tyme ye were without Chryst, beynge aliauntes from the comen welth of Israel, and straungers from the testamentes of the promes hauynge no hope, and beynge with out God in this worlde. 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.

²² (as concernynge the conuersacyon in tyme past) to laye from you that olde man, which is corrupte, accordynge to the deceauable lustes.

³ For we are circumcisyon, which serue God in the sprete, and reioyce in Chryst Iesu, and haue no confydence in the flesshe:

⁸ But nowe put ye also awaye from you all soch thinges: wrath, fearnes, maliciousnes, cursed speakynge, fylthy communicacyon out of your mouth. ⁹ Lye not one to another, seing that ye haue put of the olde man with hys workes,

¹¹ But Christ beynge and hye Prest of good thynges to come, came by a greater & a more perfecte tabernacle, not made wyth handes: that is to saye, not of thys buylding,

²⁴ For Christ is not entred into the holy places that are made wyth handes (whych are symilitudes of true thynges) but is entred into very heauen, for to appeare now in the syght of God for vs:

⁵ And the Apostles sayde vnto the Lorde: increase oure fayth.

³ Iesus answered & sayd vnto him: Uerely, verely, I saye vnto the, except a man be borne from aboue, he cannot se the kyngdom of God. ⁴ Nicodemus sayeth vnto hym how can a man be borne when he is olde? can he enter into hys mothers wombe and be borne agayne? ⁵ Iesus answered verely, verely, I saye vnto the: except a man be borne of water & of the sprete, he cannot enter into the kyngdom of God, ⁶ That whych is borne of the flesshe, is flesshe, and that which is borne of the sprete, is sprete. ⁷ Maruayle not thou that I sayd to the, ye must be borne from aboue.

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

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.

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:

³ Knowe ye not that all we whych are baptysed into Iesu Christe are baptysed to dye wyth him? 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. ⁵ For yf we be graft in deeth lyke vnto hym: euen so shall we be partakers of the resurreccyon:

⁸ Wherefore yf we be deed wt Christ, we beleue, that we shall also lyue with hym: ⁹ knowyng, that Christ beyng raysed from deeth, dyeth nomore. Deeth hath nomore power ouer hym. ¹⁰ For as touchynge that he dyed, he dyed concernynge synne once. And as touchynge that he lyueth, he lyueth vnto God. ¹¹ Lykewyse consydre ye also, that ye are deed as touchyng synne, but are alyue vnto God thorow Iesus Christ oure Lorde

⁴ Euen so ye also (my brethren) are deed concernynge the lawe by the body of Chryst, that ye shulde be coupled to another (I meane to him that is rysen agayne from deeth) that we shuld brynge forth frute vnto God.

¹³ For by one sprete are we all baptysed to make one body, whether we be Iewes or Gentyls, whether we be bonde or fre, and haue all droncke of one sprete.

²⁰ But now is Christ rysen from the deed, & become the fyrst frutes of them that slept.

²⁷ For all ye that are baptised haue put on Christ.

¹⁹ and what is the excedinge greatnes of his power to vs warde, which beleue accordynge to the workynge of that his mighty power, ²⁰ which he wrought in Christ, when he raysed him from the deed, and set him on his ryght hande in heauenly thinges,

⁴ But God which is riche in mercy (for his greate loue wher with he loued vs, ⁵ euen when we were deed by synnes) quyckened vs together in Christ (by grace are ye saued) ⁶ and raysed vs vp together with hym and made vs sytte together with him amonge them of heauen in Christ Iesu.

⁸ For by grace are ye made safe thorow fayth, and that not of youre selues. It is the gyfte of God,

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.

⁵ One Lorde, one fayth, one baptyme

¹⁴ Wherfore he sayth: awake thou that slepest, and stonde vp from deeth, and Chryst shall geue the lyght.

²⁹ for vnto you it is geuen for Chryst, that not onely ye shulde beleue on hym: but also that ye shulde suffre for hys sake,

¹ If ye be then rysen agayne with Chryst, seke those thynges which are aboue, where Chryst sytteth on the ryght hande of God. ² Set youre affeccyon on heauenly thynges, and not on erthye thynges.

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 of baptysynges, of doctryne, and of layinge on of handes, and of resurreccyon from deeth, and of eternall iudgement.

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.

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

¹⁶ Do not erre my deare brethren, ¹⁷ Euery good gyfte, and euery parfayt gyft, is from aboue, and commeth downe from the father of lyghtes wt whome is no variablenes, nether is he chaunged vnto darcknes.

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,

¹ For as moch then as Christ hath suffred for vs in the flesshe, arme ye youre selues lykewyse with the same mynde: for he whych suffereth in the flesshe, ceaseth from synn ² that he hence forwarde shulde lyue (as moch tyme as remayneth in the flesshe) not after the lustes of men, but after the wyll of God. ³ For it is sufficyent for vs, that we haue spent the tyme that is past of the lyfe, after the wyll of the Gentyls, walkynge in wantannes, lustes, in excesse of wynes, in excesse of eatynge, in excesse of drinkynge and in abomynable ydolatrie.

¹ An instruccyon of Dauid. Blessed is he, whose vnryghteousnesse is forgeuen, and whose synne is couered.

²⁰ Therfore will I prayse the and thy faythfulnesse, O God, playinge vpon an instrument of musick, vnto the wyll I synge vpon the harpe, O thou holy one of Israell.

⁵⁰ The same is my comforte in my trouble, for thy worde hath quyckned me.

¹⁸ Come I praye ye (sayeth the Lorde) let vs reason oure matter together. Though youre sinnes be as read as scarlet, thei shalbe as white as snowe. And though they were lyke purple, they shalbe as whit as wolle.

⁷ Let the vngodly man forsake his owne wayes, & the vnryghtuous hys owne ymagynacyons, and turne agayne vnto the Lorde: so shall he be mercyfull vnto hym: and to oure God, for he is very ready to forgeue.

³⁴ And from thens forth, shall no man teach his neyghbour or his brother, & saye: knowe the Lorde. But they shall all knowe me from the lowest vnto the hyest, sayth the Lorde. For I will forgeue their mysdedes, and will neuer remembre their synnes eny more.

¹ The hande of the Lorde came vpon me and caried me out in the sprete of the Lorde, and let me downe in a playne felde, that laye ful of bones, ² and he led me rounde about by them: and beholde, the bones that laye vpon the felde, were very many, and maruelous drye also. ³ Then sayd he vnto me. Thou sonne of man: thinkest thou these bones maye lyue agayne? I answered O Lorde God, thou knowest. ⁴ And he sayde vnto me. Prophecy thou vpon these bones, and speake vnto them. Ye drye bones, heare the worde of the Lord. ⁵ Thus sayeth the Lorde God vnto these bones: Beholde, I wyll put breth into you, that ye may lyue: ⁶ I will geue yow synowes, and make fleshe growe vpon you, and couer you ouer with skinne: and so geue you breth, that ye may lyue, & knowe, that I am the Lorde. ⁷ So I prophecied, as he had commaunded me. And as I was prophecyinge, there came a noyse & a great mocyon, so that the bones ranne euery one to another. ⁸ Now when I had loked, beholde, they had synowes, and fleshe grewe vpon them: and aboue they were couered with skynne, but there was no breth in them. 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.

⁶⁰ Iesus sayde vnto him: Let the deed bury their deed: but go thou, and preach the kyngdome of God.

²⁴ for this my sonne was deed, and is alyue agayne, he was loste, and is founde. And they began to be merye.

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.

²¹ For lykewyse as the father rayseth vp the deed, and quyckeneth them, euen so the sonne quyckeneth whom he wyll

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

³⁸ Be it knowne vnto you therfore (ye men and brethren) that thorowe thys man is preached vnto you the forgeuenes of sinnes, ³⁹ and that by hym, all that beleue, are iustyfyed from all thynges, from which ye coulde not be iustifyed by the lawe of Moses.

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.

¹³ Nether geue ye youre membres as instrumentes of vnryghtewesnes vnto synne: but geue ouer your selues vnto God as they that of deed, are alyue. And geue ouer youre members as instrumentes of ryghtewesnes vnto God.

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.

³⁶ Thou foole, that which thou sowest, is not quickened, except it dye.

⁴⁵ as it is also written: the fyrste man Adam was made a lyuinge soule, and the last Adam was made a quyckening sprete.

⁶ which hath made vs able to mynister the newe testament, not of the letter, but of the sprete. For the letter kylleth, but the sprete geueth lyfe.

¹⁴ For the loue of Christ constrayneth vs, because we thus iudge, that yf one dyed for all, then were all deed, ¹⁵ and he dyed for all: that they whych lyue, shuld not hence forth lyue vnto them selues, but vnto him whych dyed for them, & rose agayne.

¹ And you hath he quickened where as ye were deed in treaspasses and synnes,

¹¹ Wherfore, remember that ye beynge in tyme passed gentyls in the flesshe, were called vncircumcisyon from that whych is called circumcisyon in the flesshe, which circumcision is made by handes:

⁶ But she that lyueth in pleasure, is deed, euen yet alyue.

¹³ I geue the charge in the syght of God, which quickneth all thynges, & before Iesu Chryst (which vnder Poncius Pylate wytnessed a good witnessyng)

¹ Therfore leauynge the doctryne that pertayneth to the begynnynge of Christen men, let vs go forth vnto perfeccion, not layenge agayne the foundacyon of repentaunce from deed workes and of fayth towarde God,

¹⁰ For this is the testament, that I wyll make wt the house of Israel: After those dayes (sayth the Lord) I wyll put my lawes in their myndes, and in their hertes I will write them, and I wylbe their God, and they shalbe my people. ¹¹ And they shall not teach euery man hys neyghboure, and euery man hys brother, saying: knowe the Lord: for they shall knowe me, from the least to the moste of them: ¹² For I wilbe mercyfull ouer their vnrightewesnes, and their synnes & their iniquities will I thinke vpon nomore.

¹⁴ how moch moare shall the bloud of Christ (which thorow the eternall sprete, offered him self without spot to God) pourge youre conscience from deed workes, for to serue the lyuinge God?

¹⁷ Euen so fayth, yf it haue no dedes: is deed in it selfe:

²⁰ But wilt thou vnderstande. (O thou vayne man) the fayth without dedes is deed?

²⁶ For as the body, wythout the sprete is deed, euen so fayth wythout workes is deed also.

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. ⁸ If we saye that we haue no synne, we deceaue oure selues, and the trueth is not in vs: ⁹ If we knowledge oure synnes, he is faythfull & iust, to forgeue vs oure synnes, and to clense vs from all vnryghtewesnes.

¹² Babes I wryte vnto you, how that youre synnes are forgeuen you for his names sake.

²³ And let the Preaste wryte these curses: And whan they be clensed, let him cast them in to bytter waters,

⁵ Couer not their wickednesse, & let not their synne be put out in thy presence: for they haue prouoked the buylders.

¹² Then were the kynges scrybes called on the thirtenth daye of the fyrst moneth and there was written (according as Haman commaunded) vnto all the kynges officers & to the captaynes that were in all the landes, and to the rulars of euery people in the countreyes on euery syde, accordyng to the wryting of euery nacion, and after their language, in the name of kyng Ahasuerus was it wrytten and sealed with the kynges rynge.

⁸ Wryte ye also for the Iewes, as it lyketh you in the kynges name, & seale it with the kynges ryng (for the writynges that were wrytten in the kynges name, and sealed with the kynges rynge, durst no man dysanull.)

¹ To the chaunter, a Psalme of Dauid, when the prophet Nathan came vnto him, after he was gone in to Bethsabe. Haue mercy vpon me (O God) after thy goodnes: accordyng vnto the multitude of thy mercyes, do awaye myne offences.

⁹ Turne thy face from my synnes, & put out all my mysdedes.

²⁵ Where as I yet, euen I am he onely, that for myne awne selfes sake do awaye thyne offences, and forget thy synnes: so that I will neuer thincke vpon them.

²² As for thyne offences, I haue dryuen them awaye lyke the cloudes, and thy synnes as the myst. Turne the agayne vnto me, for I haue redemed the.

¹⁴ And therfore thus he sayeth: Make playne, make playne, & clense the strete, take vp the stomblynge blockes out of the waye that ledeth to my people.

⁷ Wherfore the kinge cried myghtely, that they shulde brynge hym the charmers. Caldees and coniurers of deuels. The kynge spake also to the wyse men of Babylon, and sayde: Who so can rede this writing, & shewe me the playne meaning therof: shalbe clothed with purple, haue a cheyne of golde aboute his necke, and rule the thyrde part of my kyngdome. ⁸ Upon this, came all the kinges wyse men: but they coulde nether reade the writynge, ner shewe the kinge what it signifyed.

⁶ they were, both ryghteous before God, and walked in all the lawes and ordynaunces of the Lorde, that no man coulde fynde fawte with them.

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,

¹ And I saye, that the heyre (as longe as he is a chylde) differth not from a seruaunt, though he be Lord of all, ² but is vnder tuters and gouerners, vntyll the tyme that the father hath appoynted. ³ Euen so we also, when we were chyldren, were in bondage vnder the ordynaunces of the worlde. ⁴ But when the tyme was full come, God sent hys sonne, made of a woman, and made bonde vnto the lawe,

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:

⁷ For the mistery of the iniquitie doeth all readye worcke: tyll he which nowe onlye letteth, be taken out of the waye.

¹⁸ Then the commaundement that went afore, is disanulled, because of weaknes and vnproffytablenes.

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

⁹ Which was a symilitude for the tyme then present, in which were offered gyftes and sacrifices, that coulde not make the minister parfecte, as pertayning to the conscyence, ¹⁰ wyth onely meates & drinckes, & diuers wasshinges and iustifyinges of the fleshe, whych were ordeyned vntyll the tyme of reformacyon.

⁸ Aboue, when he sayeth: sacryfice & offeryng, & burnt sacryfyces and synne offerynges thou woldest not haue, nether hast thou alowed them (whiche yet are offered by the lawe) ⁹ then sayd he: Lo, I am here, to do thy wyll, o God: he taketh awaye the fyrst to stablisshe the latter,

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

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.

¹⁸ Thou art gone vp an hye, thou hast led captiuitye captiue, and receaued gyftes for men. Yee, euen for thyne enemies, that the Lorde God myght dwell amonge them.

²⁴ Who spoyled the gyaunte of his praye? or who taketh the presoner from the mightye? ²⁵ And therfore, thus sayeth the Lorde. The prisoners shalbe taken from the gyaunte, and the spoyle delyuered from the violente: for I wyll maynteyne thy cause agaynst thyne aduersaryes, and saue thy sonnes.

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.

²⁹ Or els how can one enter into a strong mannes house, and spoyle his Iewels, excepte he fyrst bynde the stronge man, and then spoyle his house?

¹⁸ And he sayd vnto them: I sawe Satan (as it had bene lightening) falling downe from heauen.

²² But when a stronger then he commeth vpon him, and ouercommeth him, he taketh from him all his harnes (wherin he trusted) and deuideth his goodes.

³⁹ And one of the euyll doers whych were hanged, rayled on him, sayinge: If thou be Chryst, saue thy selfe and vs. ⁴⁰ But the other answered & rebuked him, sayinge: Fearest thou not God, seynge thou art in the same dampnacyon? ⁴¹ We are ryghteously punysshed, for we receaue accordynge to oure dedes: But thys man hath done nothynge amysse. ⁴² And he sayde vnto Iesus. Lorde, remember me, when thou commest into thy kyngdome. ⁴³ And Iesus sayde vnto hym: Uerely I saye vnto the: to daye shalt thou be wyth me in Paradyse.

³¹ Now is the iudgment of this worlde: now shall the prince of thys worlde be cast out. ³² And I (yf I were lyft vp from the erth) will drawe all men vnto me.

¹¹ Of iudgement, because the prynce of thys worlde is iudged all ready.

³⁰ Assone as Iesus then receaued of the veneger, he sayde. It is fynisshed, & bowed his heed, and gaue vp the goost.

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.

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.

⁴ in whom the God of this world hath blynded the myndes of them which beleue not, lest the lyght of the gospell of the glory of Christ (whych is the ymage of God) shulde shyne vnto them.

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

¹² For we wrestle not agaynst bloude and flesshe: but agaynst rule, agaynst power, agaynst worldy rulers, euen gouerners of the darcknes of thys worlde, agaynst spretuall craftynes in heauenly thynges.

¹⁶ For by him were all thynges created, that are in heuen, and that are in erth: visyble and inuisyble, whether they be maieste or lorde shyppe, ether rule or power. All thynges were creatyd by hym and for hym,

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,

² And he toke the dragon the olde serpente, which is the deuyll & Satanas, & he bounde hym a thousande yeres: ³ and cast hym into the bottomlesse pyt, and he shutte hym vp, and set a seale on hym, that he shulde deceaue the people nomore, tyll the thousande yeres were fulfylled. And after that he must be losed for a lytell season.

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.

² speake vnto the children of Israel, & saye these are the beastes whych ye shall eate, amonge all the catell that are on the earth: ³ whatsoeuer parteth the hoofe, and deuydeth it into two clawes, and chaweth cud amonge the beastes, that shall ye eate. ⁴ Neuerthelesse, these shall ye not eate, of them that chewe cud, & deuydeth the hoofes: as is the camell, whych chaweth cud, but he deuydeth not the hoofe, therfore is he vncleane vnto you, ⁵ euen so the conye, whych chaweth the cud but deuydeth not the hoofe: He is vncleane to you. ⁶ And the hare though he chawe the cud, yet because he deuideth not the hoofe, he is therfore vncleane to you. ⁷ And agayne, the swyne, though he deuyde the hoffe in to two clawes, yet he chaweth not the cud. He is vncleane to you. ⁸ Of theyr fleshe shall ye not eate, & theyr carkasses shall ye not touche, but let them be vncleane to you. ⁹ These shall ye eate of all that are in the waters: whatsoeuer hath synnes and skales in the waters, sees and ryuers, that shall ye eate. ¹⁰ And all that haue not fynnes and skales in the see and ryuers, of all that moue and lyue in the waters, let them be abhominacyon vnto you: ¹¹ Ye shall not eate of theyr flesh, but abhorre theyr carkases. ¹² Let all that haue no fynnes nor scales in the waters, be abhomynable vnto you. ¹³ These are they whych ye shall abhorre amonge the foules, and that ought not to be eaten, for they are an abhomynacyon. The egle, the goshauke, & the cormoraunte, ¹⁴ the vultur and the kyte after hys kynde, ¹⁵ and all rauens after theyr kynde, ¹⁶ the estrych, the nyghtcrowe, the coockowe, and the owle after hys kynde, ¹⁷ the falcon, the storcke, the great oule, ¹⁸ the backe, the pellycane, the pye, ¹⁹ the heron, the Iaye after his kynde, the lapwynge: and the swalowe. ²⁰ Let all foules that crepe & goo vpon all foure, be an abominacyon vnto you. ²¹ Yet these maye ye eate, of euery crepynge thynge that hath wynges and goo apon foure fete: euen those that haue knees aboue vpon theyr fete, to lepe wyth all vpon the erthe, ²² euen these of them ye maye eate the. Arbe after hys kynde: the Selaam after hys kynde: the Hargol after hys kynde, and the Hagab after hys kynde. ²³ All other foules that moue and haue foure fete, shalbe abhominacyon vnto you. ²⁴ In soche ye be vncleane, and whosoeuer toucheth the carkas of them, shalbe vncleane vnto the euen: ²⁵ and whosoeuer bereth the carkasse of them, shall washe hys clothes, and be vncleane vntyll euen. ²⁶ And euery beast that hath hoofe and deuydeth it not into two clawes, ner chaweth cud, suche are vnclene vnto you: euery one that toucheth them, shalbe vncleane. ²⁷ And what soeuer goeth vpon hys handes amonge all maner beastes that goo on all foure fete, such are vnclene vnto you: & who so doth touche theyr carkasse shalbe vnclene vntyll the euen. ²⁸ And he that beareth the carkasse of them, shall wasshe hys clothes & be vncleane vntyll the euen, for soche are vncleane vnto you. ²⁹ And let these also be vncleane to you, amonge the thynges that crepe vpon the erth, the weasell, and the mouse, & the toade, after theyr kynde, ³⁰ the hedgehogge, the stellio, the lacerte, the snayle, and the molle: ³¹ these are vncleane to you amonge all that crepe: whosoeuer doth touche them when they be dead, shalbe vncleane vntyll the euen. ³² And whatsoeuer any of the dead carkasses of them doth fall vpon, shalbe vncleane: whether it be vessell of wodd, or rayment, or skynne, or bagge, or what soeuer vessell it be that any worke is wroughte in. And it must be plunged in the water, & it shall be vncleane vntyll the euen, and so shall it be clensed. ³³ All maner of erthen vessell wherinto any of them falleth, shalbe vncleane, wyth all that ther in is: and it shall be broken. ³⁴ All maner meate also that is vsed to be eaten yf any soche water come vpon it, it shalbe vncleane. And all maner dryncke that is vsed to be droncke in all maner soche vessels, shalbe vncleane. ³⁵ And euery thynge that theyr carcase falleth vpon, shalbe vncleane: Whether it be ouen or kettell, let it be broken. For they are vncleane, and shalbe vncleane vnto you: ³⁶ Neuerthelater, yet the fountaynes and welles & collection of waters shalbe cleane still. And whoso toucheth theyr carkasse, shall be vncleane. ³⁷ If the dead carkasse of any soche fall vpon any seed vsed to sowe, it shall yet be cleane styll: ³⁸ but and yf any water be powred vpon the seed, & a deed carkesse fall theron, it shalbe vncleane vnto you. ³⁹ If any beast of whych ye maye eate, dye and any man touche the dead carkasse therof, he shalbe vncleane vntyll the euen. ⁴⁰ He that eateth of the dead carkasse of it, shall wasshe hys clothes and be vncleane vntyll the euen. And he also that beareth the carkasse of it, shall wasshe his clothes, and be vncleane vntyll euen. ⁴¹ Let euery crepinge thynge that crepeth vpon the erth be an abhominacyon, and not be eaten. ⁴² Whatsoeuer goeth vpon the brest, and whatsoeuer goeth vpon foure, or that hath moo fete amonge all crepynge thynges that crepe vpon the erth, of that se ye eate not for they are abhomynable. ⁴³ Ye shall not make youre soules abhominable wyth nothing that crepeth, nether make your selues vncleane wyth them: that ye shulde be defyled therby. ⁴⁴ For I am the Lorde youre God. Be sanctifyed therfore, and ye shall be holy for I am holy: and ye shall not defyle youre soules wyth any maner of crepynge thynge, that crepeth vpon the erth. ⁴⁵ For I am the Lorde, that brought you out of the lande of Egypt, to be youre God: ye shall be holy therfore, for I am holy. ⁴⁶ Thys is the lawe of beastes and foules & of euery lyuynge creature that moueth in the waters, and of euery creature that crepeth vpon the erth, ⁴⁷ that there maye be a difference betwene the vncleane & clene, and betwene the beaste that maye be eaten, & the beaste that ought not to be eaten.

³¹ Let it be a Sabboth of rest vnto you, and ye shall humble youre soules, by an ordinaunce for euer.

¹⁰ And whatsoeuer man it be of the house of Israel or of the straungers that soiourne amonge you, that eateth any maner of bloude, I will sett my face agaynst that soule that eateth bloude, and will destroye hym from amonge hys people: ¹¹ for the lyfe of the fleshe is in the bloude, and I haue geuen it vnto you vpon the alter, ¹² to make an attonement for youre soules, for bloude shall make an attonement for the soule. And therfore I sayde vnto the chyldren of Israel: let no soule of you eate bloude. Neyther let any straunger that soiourneth amonge you, eate bloude. ¹³ And whatsoeuer man it be of the chyldren of Israel or of the straungers that soiourne amonge you, whych hunteth and catcheth any beest or foule that maye be eaten, let him powre out the bloude therof, & couer it wyth erthe, ¹⁴ for the lyfe of all fleshe is in the bloude of it, therfore I sayde vnto the chyldren of Israel ye shall eate the bloude of no maner of fleshe, for the lyfe of all fleshe is the bloude therof: whosoeuer eateth it, shall peryshe. ¹⁵ And euery soule that eateth it whych dyed alone, or that which was torne wyth wylde beastes: whether it be one of youre selues or a straunger, he shall wasshe hys clothes, and bathe hym selfe in water, and be vncleane vnto the euen, and then shall he be cleane.

¹ And the Lord spake vnto Moses, sayinge: ² speake vnto the chyldren of Israel, & saye vnto them: These are my feastes, euen the feastes of the Lorde, whych ye shall call holy conuocacyons. ³ Syxe dayes ye shall worke, but the seuenth daye is the Sabboth of reast, an holy conuocacyon: so that ye doo no worke therin, it is the Sabboth of the Lorde, in all youre dwellynges. ⁴ These are the feastes of the Lorde, euen holy conuocacyons, whyche ye shall proclayme in their ceasons. ⁵ In the .xiiij. daye of the fyrst moneth at euen is the Lordes Passeouer. ⁶ And in the fyfteneth daye of the same moneth is the feast of swete bread vnto the Lorde: seuen dayes ye must eate vnleuended bread. ⁷ In the fyrst daye ye shall haue an holy conuocacyon: ye shall do no laborious worke therin. ⁸ But ye shall offer sacrifyces vnto the Lorde thorow out those seuen dayes, and in the seuenth daye is an holy conuocacyon: ye shall do no laborious worke therin. ⁹ And the Lorde spake vnto Moses sayenge: ¹⁰ speake vnto the chyldren of Israel & saye vnto them when ye be come into the lande (whyche I geue vnto you) & repe doune the haruest therof, ye shall brynge a shefe of the fyrst frutes of youre haruest vnto the preast, ¹¹ whych shall waue the shefe before the Lorde to be accepted for you: & euen the morowe after the Sabboth the Preaste shall waue it. ¹² And ye shall offer that daye when ye waue the shefe, an he lambe wythout blemish of a yeare olde, for a burntoffrynge vnto the Lorde: ¹³ and the meatofferynge therof, shalbe made of two tenth deales of fyne floure mengled with oyle, to be a sacrifyce vnto the Lorde for a swete sauoure: and the drynkoffring therof shalbe of wyne, euen the fourth deale of an Hyn. ¹⁴ And ye shall eate nether bread, nor parched corne, nor furmentye, nor newe corne, vntyll the selfe same daye that ye haue brought an offrynge vnto youre God. Let thys be a lawe for euer in youre generacions and in all youre dwellynges. ¹⁵ And ye shall counte from the morowe after the Saboth: euen from the daye that ye brought the shefe of the waueoffrynge .vij. Sabbathes complete: ¹⁶ euen vnto the morowe after the seuenth Sabbath shall ye nombre fyftye dayes. And ye shall brynge a new meatoffrynge vnto the Lorde. ¹⁷ And ye shall brynge out of youre habitacions two waue loues made of two tenth deales of fyne floure and that are made wyth leuen for fyrst frutes vnto the Lord. ¹⁸ And ye shall brynge with the breed seuen lambes wythout deformite of one yeare of age, and one yonge oxe & two rammes, whych shall serue for a burntoffrynge vnto the Lorde, wyth meatoffringes and theyr drynkoffrynges, to be a sacrifyce for a swete sauoure vnto the Lorde. ¹⁹ Then ye shall offer an he goate for a synne offrynge: and two lambes of one yeare olde for a peace offrynge. ²⁰ And the preast shall waue them wyth the breed of the fyrst frutes before the Lorde, and wyth the two lambes. And these holy thynges of the Lorde, shalbe the preastes. ²¹ And ye shall proclayme the same daye, that it maye be an holy conuocacyon vnto you: ye shall do no laborious worke therin: let it be a lawe for euer in all your dwellynges, and in all youre generacyons. ²² And when ye reepe doune your haruest, thou shalt not make cleane ryddaunce of thy felde, nether shalt thou make any aftergatherynge of thy haruest: but shalt leaue it vnto the poore and the straunger. I am the Lorde youre God. ²³ And the Lorde spake vnto Moses sayinge: ²⁴ speake vnto the chyldren of Israel, and saye: In the seuenth moneth, in the fyrst daye of the moneth shall ye haue rest, euen the remembraunce of blowynge, an holy conuocacyon: ²⁵ ye shall do no laborious worke therin, but offer sacrifyce vnto the Lorde. ²⁶ And the Lorde spake vnto Moses, sayinge: ²⁷ the tenth daye also of the selfe seuenth moneth, is a daye of reconcilynge, therfore shall it be an holy conuocacion vnto you, and ye shall humble your soules, and offer sacrifyce vnto the Lorde. ²⁸ Ye shall do no worke the same daye, for it is a daye of reconcylynge, to make an atonement for you before the Lorde your God. ²⁹ For whatsoeuer soule it be that humbleth not hym selfe that daye, he shalbe destroyed from amonge hys people. ³⁰ And whatsoeuer soule do any maner worke that daye, the same soule will I destroye from amonge his people. ³¹ Ye shall do no maner worke therfore: Let it be a lawe for euer in youre generacyons and in all your dwellynges. ³² Let it be vnto you a Sabboth of reste, and ye shall humble your soules in the nynth daye of the moneth at euen: from euen to euen shall ye rest in your Sabboth. ³³ And the Lord spake vnto Moses sayeng: ³⁴ speake vnto the chyldren of Israel, and saye: the fyftenth daye of the same seuenth moneth is the feast of tabernacles, seuen dayes vnto the Lord. ³⁵ The fyrst daye is an holy conuocacyon: ye shall do no laboryous worke. ³⁶ Seuen dayes ye shall offer sacryfyce vnto the Lord, and in the eyght daye shalbe an holy conuocacyon vnto you, and ye shall offer sacryfyces vnto the Lorde. It is the colleccyon, and ye shall do no laborious worke therin. ³⁷ These are the feastes of the Lord, whiche ye shall call holy conuocacyons, for to offer sacrifyce vnto the Lord, burntoffrynge, meatoffrynge, peaceoffrynge, and drynkeoffrynges, euery daye hys due sacrifyc ³⁸ besyde the Sabbothes of the Lorde, & besyde youre gyftes, besyde all your vowes, and all your frewylloffrynges, whyche ye geue vnto the Lorde. ³⁹ Moreouer in the fyftenth daye of the seuenth moneth whan ye haue gathered in the frute of the lande, ye shall kepe holy daye vnto the Lorde seuen dayes. The fyrst daye shall be as a Sabboth: lykewise in the eyght daye shalbe the rest of the Sabboth. ⁴⁰ And ye shall take you in the fyrst daye, the frutes of goodly trees, braunches of palme trees, and the bowes of thycke trees, and wyllowes of the brooke, and shall reioyse before the Lord your God seuen dayes. ⁴¹ And ye shall kepe this feast vnto the Lorde seuen dayes in the yeare. It shalbe a lawe for euer in youre generacyons, that ye kepe it in the seuenth moneth. ⁴² Ye shall dwell in boothes seuen dayes: euen all that are Israelites borne, shall dwell in boothes, ⁴³ that youre chyldren after you maye knowe, howe that I made the chyldren of Israel to dwell in boothes, when I brought them out of the lande of Egypt: I am the Lord youre God. ⁴⁴ And Moses spake vnto the chyldren of Israel concernynge the feastes of the Lorde.

¹⁰ Also in the daye of your gladnes, and in your feaste dayes, and in the begynning of your monethes, ye shall blow the trompettes ouer your burntsacrifyces & peaceoffringes, that they maye be a remembraunce for you before youre God. I am the Lorde youre God.

¹ And the Lord spake vnto Moses saying: ² Commaunde the children of Israel, and saye vnto them: My offring and my bred for my sacrifyces which are made for a swete sauoure, shall ye obserue in theyr due season. ³ And thou shalt saye vnto them: This is the offering which ye shall offer vnto the Lord .ij. lambes of a yere olde without spot daye by daye, for a continuall burntoffering. ⁴ One lambe shalt thou offer in the morning, and the other at euen. ⁵ And therto the tenth part of an epha of floure for a meatofferyng myngled with beaten oyle conteyninge the fourth part of an hin. ⁶ It is a dayly burntoffering, such as was ordeyned in the mounte Sinai for a swete sauoure a sacrifyce vnto the Lorde. ⁷ And let the drinckofferyng of the same be the fourth part of an hin for one lambe, and in the holy place shalt thou commaunde the wyne to be powred vnto the Lorde. ⁸ And the other lambe thou shalt offer at euen after the maner of the meatofferyng and the drinckoffering of the morning: a sacrifice shalt thou offre for a swete sauoure vnto the Lorde. ⁹ And on the Sabboth daye two lambes of a yere olde a pece, and without spot, and two tenth deales of flour for a meatoffering myngled wt oyle, and the drinck offerynge therto. ¹⁰ The burntoffering of the Sabboth must be done in the selfe Sabboth, besyde the dayly burntoffering and his drinckoffering. ¹¹ And in the beginnynge of youre monethes, ye shall offer a burntofferinge vnto the Lord: two yonge bullockes, and a ram, and vij, lambes of a yere olde without spot: ¹² and .iij. tenth deales of floure for a meatoffering myngled with oyle for one bullocke, and .ij. tenth deales of floure for a meatoffering mingled with oyle for one ram. ¹³ And a tenth deale of floure myngled with oyle for a meateoffering vnto one lambe, for a burntoffring and a swete sauoure and sacrifice vnto the Lorde. ¹⁴ And theyr drinckofferynges shalbe halfe an hin of wyne vnto one bullocke, and the third part of an hin of wyne vnto a ram, and the fourth part of an hin vnto a lambe. Thys is the burntofferynge of the moneth in hys moneth, thorowout the monethes of the yere: ¹⁵ and one he goate for a synoffering vnto the Lord shalbe offred, after the dayly burntofferyng and hys drinckoffring. ¹⁶ And the fourtenth daye of the fyrst moneth, is the passeouer of the Lorde. ¹⁷ And in the fyftenth daye of the same moneth is the feast: and seuen dayes longe shall vnleuened bred be eaten. ¹⁸ In the fyrst daye shalbe an holy conuocacyon, ye shall do no maner of seruile worke therin. ¹⁹ But ye shall offer a sacrifyce for a burntofferynge vnto the Lorde .ij. yong bullockes, one ram, and seuen lambes of a yere olde, which are to you wtout spot, ²⁰ and let theyr meatoffering be of floure mingled with oyle: thre tenth deales also shall ye offre for a bullock, and two tenth deales for a ram: ²¹ one tenth deale shalt thou offre for euery lambe of the seuen lambes: ²² and a hegoate for synne to make atonement for you. ²³ Ye shall offer these, besyde the burntofferyng in the morning, which is a contynuall burntsacrifyce. ²⁴ After this maner ye shall offre thorowout the .vij. dayes: the fode of the sacrifyce for a swete sauoure vnto the Lord. And it shalbe done besyde the dayly burntoffering and his drinckofferyng. ²⁵ And in the seuenth daye ye shall haue an holy conuocacion, and ye shall do no seruyle worke. ²⁶ Therfore in the daye of your first frutes, when ye bryng a newe meatoffering vnto the Lorde (accordyng to your wekes) ye shall haue an holy conuocacion, ²⁷ & ye shall do no seruile worke in it: but offer a burntofferynge for a swete sauoure vnto the Lorde two yonge bullockes, a ram, and .vij. lambes of a yere olde a pece, ²⁸ with their meate offerynges of floure myngled with oyle, thre tenth deales vnto a bullock, two tenth deales to a ram, ²⁹ and one tenth deale vnto a lambe thorowout the seuen lambes,

³ Thou shalt eate no maner of abhominacion. ⁴ These are the beastes which ye shall eate of oxen, shepe and goates, ⁵ hert, roo and bugle: wildegoate, vnicorne, wylde oxen & Camelion. ⁶ And all beastes that cleaue the hoffe, and slytte it into two clawes, and chewe the cud, them ye shall eate. ⁷ Neuerthelesse, these ye shall not eate of them that chewe cud and of them that deuyde and cleaue the hoffe: the camell, the hare and the conye: whych chewe cud, but deuyde not the hoffe: therfore are they vncleane vnto you: ⁸ and also the swine, though he deuide the hoffe, yet he cheweth not cud, therfore is he vncleane vnto you: ye shall not eate of the flesh of soche, nor touche the dead carkesse of them. ⁹ These ye shall eate of all that are in the waters: All that haue fynnes & scales shall ye eate: ¹⁰ And whatsoeuer hath not fynnes & scales, of that ye maye not eate, but it is vncleane vnto you. ¹¹ Of all cleane byrdes ye shall eate: ¹² but these are they of whych ye shall not eate: the Egle, the goshauke, and the cormerant, ¹³ the Ixion, the vultur, the kyte after her kynde, ¹⁴ and all kynde of rauens, ¹⁵ the Estritch, the nyghtcrowe, the kuckowe, and the sparowe hawk after her kynde, ¹⁶ the lytle oule, the great oule, the back, ¹⁷ the bitture, the pye, ¹⁸ the storke, the heron, the Iay in his kynde, the lapwinge, the swaloue. ¹⁹ And let all crepinge foules be vncleane vnto you, and not be eaten of: ²⁰ but of all cleane foules ye maye eate. ²¹ Ye shall eat of nothynge that dyeth alone: But thou shalt geue it vnto the straunger that is in thy cytie, that he eate it, or thou mayst sel it vnto an Aliant. For thou art an holy people vnto the Lorde thy God. Thou shalt not sethe a kyd in hys mothers mylcke.

¹ Obserue the moneth of newe corne, that thou mayest offer passeouer vnto the Lorde thy God. For in the moneth whan corne beginneth to rype, the Lorde thy God brought the out of Egypte by nyght. ² Thou shalt therfore offer passe ouer vnto the Lorde thy God (and shepe and oxen) in the place whych the Lorde shall chose to put his name there. ³ Thou shalt eate no leuened bread with it: but seuen dayes shalt thou eate vnleuened bred therwith: euen the bread of trybulacyon (for thou camest out of the lande of Egypte in haste) that thou mayst remembre the daye, when thou camest out of the lande of Egypte, all dayes of thy lyfe. ⁴ And there shall be no leuened bread sene in all thy coastes seuen dayes longe, neyther shall there remayne any thynge of the fleshe which thou offrest the fyrst daye at euen, vntyll the mornynge. ⁵ Thou mayst not offer passeouer wythin any of thy gates, whych the Lorde thy God geueth the: ⁶ but in the place which the Lord thy God shall chose, to set his name in, there thou shalt offer Passeouer at euen, aboute the goynge downe of the sonne, euen in the ceason that thou camest out of Egypte. ⁷ And thou shalt sethe and eate it, in the place which the Lorde thy God hath chosen, and departe on the morowe, & gett the vnto thy tente. ⁸ Syxe dayes thou shalt eat swete bread, and the seuenth daye is a gatherynge together before the Lorde thy God: thou shalt do no worke therin. ⁹ Seuen wekes shalt thou nombre vnto the, and begynne to nombre the seuen wekes, whan thou begynnest to put the syckell to the corne, ¹⁰ & kepe the feast of wekes vnto the Lorde thy God, wyth a frewylofferynge of thyne hande: which thou shalt geue vnto the Lorde thy God, accordynge as the Lorde thy God hath blessed the. 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. ¹² And remembre, that thou wast a seruaunte in Egypte: and thou shalt obserue & do these ordinaunces. ¹³ Thou shalt also obserue the feast of tabernacles seuen dayes, after that thou hast gethered in thy corne and thy wyne. ¹⁴ And thou shalt reioyse in that thy feast, thou and thy sonne, thy daughter, thy seruaunte, and thy mayde, the Leuite, the straunger, and the fatherlesse & the wedowe, that are wythin thy gates. ¹⁵ Seuen dayes shalt thou kepe holy daye vnto the Lorde thy God, in the place whych the Lorde shall chose: for the Lord thy God shall blesse the in all thy frutes, and in all the workes of thyne handes, therfore shalt thou be glad. ¹⁶ Thre tymes in the yere shall all thy males appeare before the Lorde thy God, in the place which he shall chose: In the feast of swete bread, in the feast of wekes, & in the feast of tabernacles. And they shall not appeare before the Lorde empty ¹⁷ but euery man accordynge to the gyfte of hys hande, & accordynge to the blessynge of the Lorde thy God whych he hath geuen the.

⁵ And Dauid sayde vnto Ionathas: Beholde to morowe is the begynnynge of the moneth, and I shulde sytt wt the kynge at meate. But let me go, that I maye hyde my selfe in the feldes vnto the thyrde daye at euen.

¹⁸ Then sayde Ionathas to Dauid: to morowe is the first daye of the mone. And thou shalt be missed, because the place where thou wast wont to sytt, shall be emptye.

²³ And he sayde: wherfore wylt thou go to him seinge that to daye is nether newe mone nor Saboth daye. She answered: For health.

³¹ And to offer all burntsacrifyces vnto the Lorde, in the Sabbothes, in the newe moones, & on the festfull dayes by nombre and custome continually (as they were commaunded) before the Lorde.

⁹ And Nehemiah (which is Hathirsatha) & Esdras the preast & scrybe, and the Leuites that caused the people to take hede, sayd vnto all the people: thys daye is holy vnto the Lorde youre God: be not ye sory, and wepe not. For all the people wepte, when they herde the wordes of the lawe.

³¹ And yf the people of the lande broughte ware on the saboth, & all maner of vitayles to sell, that we wolde not take it of them on the saboth & on the holy dayes. and that we wolde let the seuenth yeare be fre, concernynge all maner of charge.

³³ to the shewbred, to the daylye meatofferynge, to the daylye burntofferynge of the sabothes, of the newe mones, and feast dayes, & to the thynges that were sanctifyed, & to the offerynges of attonement, to reconcyle Israel wyth all, and to all the busynes in the house of oure God.

⁴ Why art thou so full of heuynes (O my soule) and why art thou so vnquiete within me?

³ Blowe vp the trompett in the newe mone, euen in the tyme appoynted, and vpon oure solempne feast daye

¹³ Therfore offre me no mo oblacions, for it is but lost laboure. Incense is an abhominable thinge vnto me. I Maye not awaye with youre newe moones, your Sabbathes & gatheringe togyther at the solempne dayes.

¹⁴ Then sayde I: Oh Lorde God. Beholde my soule was yet neuer stayned: for fro my youth vp vnto this houre, I dyd neuer eate of a deed carcase, or of that which was slayne of wylde beastes, nether came there euer eny vncleane fleshe in my mouth.

¹⁷ Agayne, it shalbe the princes parte to offre burntofferynges, meateofferinges & drinckofferinges vnto the Lord, in the holy dayes, newe moones, sabbathes, and in all the hye feastes of the house of Israel. The synoffering, meateofferyng, burntoffring & healthofferyng shall he geue to reconcyle the house of Israel.

¹ Thus saith the Lorde God: the dore of the innermer court towarde the east shalbe shut the .vj. worcking dayes: but in the sabboth and in the daye of the newe moone, it shalbe opened. ² Then shall the prince come vnder the dore porche, and stande still wtout by the dore check. So the prestes shall offre vp his burnt and healthofferinges. And he shall worshyp at the doreposte, and go hys waye forth agayne: but the dore shall nomore be shut tyll the euenynge. ³ On the same maner shall the people of the lande also do their worshyp before the Lorde without thys dore vpon the sabbathes and newe moones.

⁵ When will the new moneth be gone, that we maye sell vytayle, & the Sabboth, that we maye haue scarcenesse of corne: to make the bushel lesse, and the Sycle greater?

¹¹ That whych goeth into the mouth, defyleth not the man: but that which commeth out of the mouth, defyleth the man.

²⁷ And he sayde vnto them: the Sabboth was made for man, & not man for the Sabboth. ²⁸ Therfore is the sonne of man, Lorde also of the Sabboth.

¹⁹ because it entreth not into his hert but into the bely: & goeth out into the draught, pourgyng out all meates?

³ sayng: Thou wentest into men vncircumcised, and dydest eate with them. ⁴ But Peter rehearsed the matter from the begynning, and expounded it by order vnto them, sayinge: ⁵ I was in the cytie of Ioppa, praying: and in a traunce, I sawe a visyon, a certen vessel descende, as it had bene a great shete, let downe from heauen by the foure corners, & it came to me. ⁶ Into the which when I had fastened myne eyes, I considred, & sawe fourfoted beastes of the earth, and vermen and wormes, and foules of the ayer. ⁷ And I heard a voyce saying vnto me: aryse Peter, sley, and eate. ⁸ But I sayde: not so Lorde, for nothynge comen or vncleane hath at eny tyme entred into my mouth. ⁹ But the voyce answered me agayne from heauen: count not thou those thinges comen, which God hath clensed ¹⁰ And this was done thre tymes. And all were taken vp agayne into heauen. ¹¹ And beholde, immediatly ther were thre men all ready come vnto the house where I was, sent from Cesarea vnto me. ¹² And the spyrite sayd vnto me, that I shuld go with them, without doutynge. Moreouer, these syxe brethren accompanyed me, and we entred into the mans house. ¹³ And he shewed vs, howe he had sene an aungel in his house, which stode and sayd to him: send men to Ioppa, and call for Simon, whose syrname is Peter: ¹⁴ he shall tell the wordes, wherby both thou and all thyne house shalbe saued. 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.

²⁰ but that we wryte vnto them, that they absteyne them selues from filthynes of ymages, and from fornicacyon, and from straunglyd, and from bloude.

² One beleueth that he maye eate all thynge. Another whych is weake, eateth earbes. ³ Let not hym that eateth, despise hym that eateth not. And let not him whych eateth not, iudge him that eateth. For God hath receaued him.

⁵ This man putteth difference bitwene daye & daye. Another man counteth all dayes alyke. Let euery mans mynde satisfye him selfe. ⁶ He that obserueth the daye, doeth it vnto the Lorde. And he that doth not obserue the daye, doeth it for the Lorde also. He that eateth, doth it to please the Lorde, for he geueth God thankes.

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.

¹³ Let vs not therfore iudge one another eny more. But iudge thys rather, that no man put a stomblynge blocke, or an occasyon to fall in hys brothers waye. ¹⁴ For I knowe, and am full certifyed by the Lorde Iesus, that ther is nothynge comen of it selfe: but vnto hym that iudgeth it to be comen: to hym is it comen. ¹⁵ If thy brother be greued wyth thy meate, nowe walkest thou not charitablye. Destroye not hym wyth thy meate, for whom Chryst dyed. ¹⁶ Cause not youre treasure to be euyll spoken of. ¹⁷ For the kyngdome of God is not meate and drynke: but ryghtwesnes, and peace and ioye in the holy ghost.

²⁰ Destroye not the worke of God for a lytell meates sake. All thinges are pure: but it is euyll for the man: which eateth wyth hurte of conscience. ²¹ It is good nether to eate flesshe, nether to drinke wyne nether eny thynge, wherby thy brother stombleth, ether falleth, or is made weake.

⁷ But euery man hath not knowledge. Some hauing conscience because of the ymage, vntill thys houre, eate as a thinge offered vnto ymages: & so their conscience beinge weake is defyled. ⁸ But meate maketh vs not acceptable to God. Nether yf we eate, are we the better. Nether yf we eate not, are we the worsse. ⁹ But take hede, lest by any meanes this libertie of yours be an occasion of falling to them that are weake. ¹⁰ For yf some man se the which hast knowledge, syt & eate of meate offred vnto ymages, shall not the conscience of him which is weake, be boldened to eate those thynges, which are offered to ymages. ¹¹ And so thorow thy knowledge shall the weake brother perysshe, for whom Christ dyed. ¹² When ye synne so agaynst the brethren, & wounde their weake conscience, ye synne agaynst Christ. ¹³ Wherfore yf meate hurt my brother, I will neuer eate flesshe lest I shulde offende my brother.

²⁸ But and yf eny man saye vnto you: thys is offred vnto ymages, eate not of it for hys sake that shewed it, and for conscience sake. The erth is the Lordes and all that therin is. ²⁹ Conscience I saye, not thyne, but of the other. For why is my liberte, iudged of another mannes conscience? 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.

¹² For yer that certayne cam from Iames, he dyd eate with the Gentyls. But when they were come, he withdrue and separated hym selfe from them, fearynge them which were of the circumcisyon. ¹³ And the other Iewes dissembled as well as he: in so moche that Barnabas also was brought into their symulacion.

¹⁰ Ye obserue dayes, and monethes, and tymes, and yeares.

³ forbyddynge to mary, & commaundynge to abstayne from meates which God hath created to be receaued with geuynge thanckes, of them whych beleue, & knowe the trueth. ⁴ For all the creatures of God are good, & nothynge to be refused, yf it be receaued with thankesgeuynge. ⁵ For it is sanctified by the worde of God & prayer.

¹⁰ wyth onely meates & drinckes, & diuers wasshinges and iustifyinges of the fleshe, whych were ordeyned vntyll the tyme of reformacyon.

¹¹ Backbyte not one another, brethren. He that backbyteth his brother, & he that iudgeth hys brother, backbyteth the lawe, and iudgeth the lawe. But & yf thou iudge the lawe, thou art not an obseruer of the lawe: but a iudge.

²⁸ Come vnto me all ye that laboure: and are laden, and I will ease you. ²⁹ Take my yock vpon you, and lerne of me, for I am meke & lowly in herte: and ye shall fynde rest vnto youre soules.

¹⁷ For the lawe was geuen by Moses, but grace & trueth came by Iesus Christ.

¹ Let vs feare therfore, lest eny of you (forsakynge the promes of entringe into hys rest) shulde seme at anye tyme to haue bene disapoynted. ² For vnto vs is it declared, as well as vnto them. But it proffyted not them, that they hearde the worde: because they whych hearde it, coupled it not with fayth. ³ For we which haue beleued, do enter into his rest, as he sayde. Euen as I haue sworne in my wrath: they shall not enter into my rest. And that spake he verely longe after that the workes were made, and the foundacyon of the worlde layde. ⁴ For he spake in a certayne place of the seuenth daye, on thys wyse. And God dyd rest the seuenth daye from all hys workes. ⁵ And in thys place agayne: They shall not enter into my rest. ⁶ Seynge therfore it foloweth, that some must enter therinto, and they (to whom it was fyrst preached) entred not therin for vnbelefes sake, 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. ⁸ For yf Iosue had geuen them rest, then wolde he not afterwarde haue spoken of another daye. ⁹ There remayneth therfore yet a rest to the people of God. ¹⁰ For he that is entred into hys rest hath ceased also from his awne workes, as God dyd from his. ¹¹ Let vs study therfore to entre into that rest, lest eny man fall after the same ensample of vnbelefe.

⁵ offer gyftes whych serue vnto the ensample, and shadowe of heauenly thynges: euen as the answere of God was geuen vnto Moses, when he was about to fynyssh the tabernacle. Take hede (sayde he) that thou make all thinges accordinge to the patrone which is shewed to the in the mount.

⁹ Which was a symilitude for the tyme then present, in which were offered gyftes and sacrifices, that coulde not make the minister parfecte, as pertayning to the conscyence,

¹ For the lawe (hauynge the shadowe of good thynges to come, and not the very fasshion of the thinges them selues) can neuer with those sacrifices which they offer; yeare by yeare continually make the commers therunto parfayt.

¹³ And the Lorde God sayde vnto the woman: Why hast thou done this? And the woman sayde: yonder serpent begyled me, and I dyd eate.

¹⁸ for they trouble you with theyr wyles, whyche haue begyled you by disceate in the cause of Peor, and in the cause of theyr syster Cozbi the daughter of a Lorde of the Madianites, which was slayne in the daye of the plage for Peor sake.

²⁹ The secrettes of the Lorde oure God are opened vnto vs, and to oure chyldren for euer, that we maye do all the wordes of thys lawe.

² what is he that hydeth his mynde with folysh wordes?

¹ Of Dauid. I Will geue thankes vnto the, O Lord, with my whole hert, euen before the goddes, wyll I synge prayse vnto the. ² I wyll worshyppe towarde thy holy temple, and prayse thy name, because of thy louynge kyndnesse and trueth: for thou hast magnifyed thy name and thy worde aboue all thynges.

⁹ Thou wentest streyght to kynges wyth oyle & dyuerse oyntmentes (that is) thou hast sent thy messaungers farre of, & yet art thou fallen into the pyt therby.

³ thus sayeth the Lord God: Wo be vnto those folysh prophetes, that folowe theyr awne sprete and speake where they se nothyng.

³⁸ In hys place shall he worshype the myghtie stoute God: and the God whom his fathers knewe not, shall be honoure with golde and syluer, with precious stones and pleasaunt Iewels.

²⁵ whych chaunged hys truthe for a lye. and worshypped and serued the thinges that be made, more than hym that made them, which is to be praysed for euer. Amen.

⁶ To be carnally mynded, is deeth. But to be spiritually mynded, is lyfe and peace. ⁷ Because that the flesshly mynde is enemyte agaynst God: for it is not obedyent to the lawe of God, nether can be. ⁸ So then they that are in the flesshe, cannot please God.

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

³ As longe verely as ther is amonge you enuyinge, & strife & sectes: are ye not carnall, & walke after the maner of men?

¹⁸ Some swell, as though I wold come nomore at you.

¹ As touchyng thinges offred vnto ymages, we are sure that we all haue knowledge. Knowledge maketh a man swell: but loue edifyeth.

⁵ And though ther be that are called Goddes, whether in heauen other in erth (as ther be Goddes many, and Lordes many) ⁶ yet vnto vs is there but one God, which is the father, of whom are all thinges, & we for him & one Lord Iesus Christ, by whom are all thinges, and we by him.

²⁴ Perceaue ye not, howe that they which runne in a course, runne all, but one receaueth the rewarde? So runne, that ye maye obtayne.

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

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

¹⁹ The dedes of the flesshe are manyfeste, which are these: aduoutery, fornicacion, vnclennes, wantannes, ²⁰ worshypping of ymages, witchcraft, hatred, variaunce, zele, wrathe, stryfe, sedicyons, sectes,

¹⁴ and (accordinge to the marke apoynted) I preace to the rewarde of the hye callynge of God thorowe Chryst Iesu.

⁴ Thys I saye, lest eny man shulde begyle you wt entysynge wordes.

²³ which thynges out wardly haue the similitude of wysdome by supersticion and humblenes of mynde, and by hurtynge of the body, and in that they do the flesshe no worshyppe vnto the nede therof.

⁷ because they wolde be doctours of the lawe, and yet vnderstande not what they speake, nether wherof they affyrme.

¹ The sprete speaketh euydently, that in the later tymes some shall departe from the fayth, and shall geue hede vnto spretes of erroure, and deuelysshe doctrines of them

¹⁴ But yf ye haue bytter enuyeng & stryfe in your herte, reioyce not: nether be lyars agaynst the trueth: ¹⁵ For soch wysdome descendeth not from aboue: but is erthy, naturall, & diuelisshe. ¹⁶ For wher enuyeng & strife is, there is vnstablenes, & all manner of euyll workes.

¹ From whence commeth warre, and fyghtyng amonge you? come they not here hence? euen of youre lustes, that fight in your membres? ² Ye lust, and haue not. Ye enuye & haue indignacyon, & can not obtayne. Ye fight & warre. Ye haue not because ye aske not. ³ Ye aske and receaue not, because ye aske amysse: euen to consume it vpon your lustes. ⁴ Ye aduouterars, and wemen that breke matrimonye: knowe ye not how that the frendshyp of the worlde is enmytie wt God? whosoeuer therfore wilbe a frende of the worlde, is made the enemye of God. ⁵ Ether do ye thynke that the scripture sayth in vayne. The sprete the dwelleth in vs, lusteth euen contrary to enuy: ⁶ but geueth more grace.

¹⁴ hauinge eyes full of aduoutrie, and the cannot cease from synne: begyling vnstable soules. Hertes they haue excercysed with robrie. They are cursed chyldren

¹ Dearly beloued beleue not euery sprete: but proue the spretes, whether they are of god or not, for many false prophetes are gone out into the worlde. ² Herby shall ye knowe the sprete of God. Euery sprete that confesseth that Iesu Christ is come in the fleshe is of God.

⁷ For many deceauers are entred into the worlde, whych confesse not that Iesus Christ is come in the fleshe. This is a deceauer and an Antichrist. ⁸ Loke on your selues that we loose not that we haue wrought: but that we maye haue ful rewarde. ⁹ Whosoeuer transgresseth & bydeth not in the doctryne of Christ, hath not God. He that endureth in the doctrine of Christ, hath both the father & the sonne. ¹⁰ If ther come eny vnto you, & bringe not this learninge, him receaue not to house: nether byd him God spede. ¹¹ For he that byddeth him God spede, is partaker of hys euyl dedes.

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

¹⁴ And deceaued them that dwelt on the erth, by the meanes of those sygnes whyche he had power to do in the syght of the beast, sayinge to them that dwelt on the erth: that they shuld make an ymage vnto the beast, whych had the wounde of a swearde, and dyd lyue.

¹⁰ And I fell at his fete, to worshippe him. And he sayde vnto me: se thou do it not. For I am thy felow seruaunt, & one of thy brethren, euen of them that haue the testimony of Iesus. Worshyppe God. For the testimony of Iesus is the sprete of prophesy.

⁸ I am Iohn, which sawe these thynges and herde them. And when I had herde & sene, I fell doune to worshyppe before the fete of the Angell, whyche shewed me these thynges. ⁹ And he sayde vnto me: se thou do it not, for I am thy felowe seruaunt, & the felowe seruaunt of thy brethren the Prophetes, and of them which kepe the sayinges of thys boke. But worshyppe God.

⁹ He hath spoyled me of myne honoure, and taken the crowne awaye fro my head. ¹⁰ He hath destroyed me on euery syde, and I am vndone: My hope hath he taken awaye fro me, as it were a tre pluckt vp by the rote. ¹¹ His wrath is kyndled agaynst me: he taketh me, as though I were hys enemy. ¹² Hys men of warre came together, which made their waye ouer me, and beseged my dwellynge rounde aboute.

¹⁵ My bones are not hyd from the, though I be made secretly and fasshioned beneth in the earth. ¹⁶ Thyne eyes dyd se my substaunce, yet being vnparfect: & in thy boke were all my membres written. Which daye by daye were fashyoned, when as yet there was none of them.

⁴ Byde in me, and I in you. As the braunche cannot beare frute of it selfe, excepte it byde in the vyne: nomore can ye, except ye abyde in me. ⁵ I am the vyne, ye are the braunches. He that abydeth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth moche frute. For without me can ye do nothing. ⁶ If a man byde not in me, he is cast forth as a braunche, & is wythered: and men gather them: and cast them into the fyre, and they burne.

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,

⁴ For as we haue many membres in one body, and all members haue not one office: ⁵ so we beynge many, are one body in Chryst, and euery man among oure selues, one anothers members.

¹⁰ I beseche you brethren by the name of oure Lord Iesus Christ, that ye all speake one thinge, and that there be no dissencion amonge you: but that ye maye be a whole body: of one mynde and of one meanynge.

⁶ I haue planted, Apollo watred: but God gaue the encreace.

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.

¹² For as the body is one, and hath many membres, and all the membres of one body though they be many, yet are but one bodye, euen so is Christ. ¹³ For by one sprete are we all baptysed to make one body, whether we be Iewes or Gentyls, whether we be bonde or fre, and haue all droncke of one sprete. ¹⁴ For the body is not one member, but many. ¹⁵ If the fote saye: I am not the hande, I am not of the body: is he therfore not of the body? ¹⁶ And yf the eare saye, I am not the eye, I am not of the body: is he therfore not of the body? ¹⁷ If all the body were an eye, where were then the eare? If all were hearynge: where were the smellynge? ¹⁸ But nowe hath God set the membres euery one seuerally in the body as it hath pleased him. ¹⁹ If they were all one member: where were the bodye? ²⁰ Nowe are there many membres, yet but one body. ²¹ And the eye can not saye vnto the hande: I haue no nede of the. Agayne, the heed can not saye to the fete: I haue no nede of you. ²² Yee rather a great deale those membres of the body which seme to be more feble, are necessary. ²³ And vpon those membres of the body which we thinke leest honest, put we more honestye on. And oure vngoodlye partes haue more beautye on. ²⁴ For oure honest membres nede it not: But God hath so disposed the body, & hath geuen the more honoure to that parte whych lacked, ²⁵ lest there shulde be eny stryfe in the body: but that the membres shuld indifferently care one for another. And yf one member suffer, all suffer with him. ²⁶ yf one member be had in honour, all membres be glad also. ²⁷ Ye are the body of Christ, and membres one of another.

⁶ I maruayle, that ye are so soone turned (from Christ which called you by grace) vnto another Gospe ⁷ which is nothinge elles, but that there be some which trouble you, & intende to peruerte the Gospell of Christ. ⁸ Neuerthelesse, though we oure selues, or an angell from heauen, preache any other Gospell vnto you, then that which we haue preached vnto you, let him be acursed. ⁹ As we said before, so saye I nowe agayne, yf eny man preache eny other Gospell vnto you, then that ye haue receaued, lett hym be acursed.

² Beholde, I Paul saye vnto you, that yf ye be circumcised, Christ shall proffyte you nothynge at all. ³ I testyfye agayne to euery man which is circumcised, that he is bonde to kepe the whole lawe. ⁴ Christ is become but in vayne vnto you. As many of you as are iustifyed by the lawe are fallen from grace.

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

³ and be diligent to kepe the vnitie of the sprete thorowe the bonde of peace,

²⁹ For no man euer yet hated hys awne flesshe: but noryssheth and cherissheth it, euen as the Lorde doth the congregacyon.

² full fyll ye my ioye, that ye be lyke mynded, hauinge one loue, beynge of one accorde, and of one mynde, ³ that nothinge be done thorowe stryfe or of vayne glory, but in mekenes of mynde, let euery man esteme another better then hym selfe. ⁴ Loke not ye euery man on hys awne thinges, but euery man on the thinges that are other mens. ⁵ Let the same mynde be in you, that was also in Christ Iesu:

¹⁸ And he is the heed of the body, euen of the congregacyon: he is the begynnynge and fyrst begotten of the deed, that in all thynges he myght haue the preeminence.

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

⁶ As ye haue therfore receaued Christ Iesu the Lorde euen so walke ye in hym, ⁷ so that ye be rotyd and buylte in hym, and stablysshed thorow fayth, as ye haue learned: and therin be plenteous with geuynge thankes. ⁸ Beware, lest eny man spoyle you thorowe philosophy and disceatfull vanitie, after the tradicyon of men, and after the ordinaunces of the worlde, & not after Christ. ⁹ For in hym dwelleth all the fulnes of the God heed bodely,

¹² the Lord also shall increace you & make you flowe ouer in loue one toward another, and towarde all men, euen as we do toward you,

¹⁰ Yee and that thynge verely ye do vnto all the brethren which are in all Macedonia. We beseche you brethren, that ye encreace more & more,

³ We are bounde to thanke God all wayes for you brethren (as it is mete) because that youre fayth groweth excedyngly, and euery one of you swymmeth in loue towarde another betwene youre selues,

⁴ whych wyll haue all men to be saued, and to come vnto the knowledge of the trueth. ⁵ For ther is one God, and one mediator betwene God and man, euen the man Christ Iesus, ⁶ whych gaue him selfe a raunsome for all men, that it shulde be testifyed at hys tyme,

⁸ In conclusyon, be ye all of one mynde, of one hart & loue as brethren, be petifull, be courteous

¹⁹ If ye were of the worlde, the worlde wolde loue his awne. Howbeit, because ye are not of the world. But I haue chosen you out of the world therfore the world hateth you.

¹⁴ I haue geuen them thy worde, and the worlde hath hated them, because they are not of the world, euen as I also am not of the world. ¹⁵ I desyre not that thou shuldest take them out of the worlde: but that thou kepe them from euyll. ¹⁶ They are not of the worlde, as I also am not of the worlde.

² God forbyd. How shall we that are deed as touchyng synne, lyue eny lenger therin? ³ Knowe ye not that all we whych are baptysed into Iesu Christe are baptysed to dye wyth him? 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. ⁵ For yf we be graft in deeth lyke vnto hym: euen so shall we be partakers of the resurreccyon: ⁶ knowyng thys, that oure olde man is crucifyed with hym also, that the body of sinne myght vtterly be destroyed, that hence forth we shuld not be seruauntes vnto synne. ⁷ For he that is deed, is iustifyed from synne.

⁴ Euen so ye also (my brethren) are deed concernynge the lawe by the body of Chryst, that ye shulde be coupled to another (I meane to him that is rysen agayne from deeth) that we shuld brynge forth frute vnto God. ⁵ For when we were in the flesshe, the lustes of synne whych were stered vp by the lawe, raygned in oure members, to brynge forth frute vnto deeth. ⁶ But now are we delyuered from the lawe, and deed vnto it wher vnto we were in bondage, that we shuld serue in a new conuersacyon of the sprete, and not in the olde conuersacyon of the letter.

³ For though we walke in the flesshe, yet we do not warre flesshly.

¹⁹ For I (thorowe the lawe) haue bene deed to the lawe, that I myght lyue vnto Christ. ²⁰ I am crucified wt Christ. Neuertheles I lyue: yet nowe not I, but Christ lyueth in me. The lyfe which I nowe lyue in the flesshe, I lyue by the fayth of the sonne of God which loued me, and gaue hym selfe for me.

⁹ But nowe after that ye haue knowen God (yee rather are knowen of God) how is it that ye tourne agayn vnto the weake and beggarly ordinaunces, wherunto agayne ye desyre afresshe to be in bondage? ¹⁰ Ye obserue dayes, and monethes, and tymes, and yeares. ¹¹ I am in feare of you, lest I haue bestowed on you laboure in vayne. ¹² Brethren, I besech you, be ye as I am: for I am as ye are. Ye haue not hurt me at all.

¹⁴ God forbyd that I shulde reioyce, but in the crosse of oure Lorde Iesu Christ, wherby the worlde is crucifyed vnto me, & I vnto the worlde.

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,

¹⁴ and hath put out the hande wrytynge that was agaynst vs, contayned in the lawe written: and that hath he taken out of the waye, and hath fastened it to hys crosse,

¹⁶ Let no man therfore trouble youre consience aboute meate and dryncke or for a pece of an holy daye, or of the newe mone, or of the Sabboth dayes,

⁴ Ye aduouterars, and wemen that breke matrimonye: knowe ye not how that the frendshyp of the worlde is enmytie wt God? whosoeuer therfore wilbe a frende of the worlde, is made the enemye of God.

¹⁹ We knowe, that we are of God, and the worlde is all together set on wyckednes.

³ but as for the frute of the tre which is in the middes of the garden, God hath sayde: ye shall not eate of it, nether shal ye touche it, lest happly ye dye.

¹¹ Awaye, awaye, get you out from thence and touche no vncleane thynge. Go oute from amonge soche. And be cleane, that beare the vessell of the Lorde.

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 forbyddynge to mary, & commaundynge to abstayne from meates which God hath created to be receaued with geuynge thanckes, of them whych beleue, & knowe the trueth.

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

¹⁸ And in that daye shall deaffe men heare the wordes of the boke, and the eyes of the blinde shall se euen out of the cloud and out of darcknes.

³⁷ He shall not regarde the God of hys fathers, but his lust shall be vpon wemen. Yee, he shall not care for eny God, for he shall magnifye him selfe aboue all.

¹⁸ And he sayd vnto them: are ye also so greatly wyth out vnderstandinge? Do ye not yet perceaue, that what soeuer thynge from wtout, entreth into a man, it cannot defyle him, ¹⁹ because it entreth not into his hert but into the bely: & goeth out into the draught, pourgyng out all meates?

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.

¹³ Meates are ordeyned for the belly, & the belly for meates: but God shall destroye both it and them. Let not the body be applyed vnto fornicacyon, but vnto the Lorde, and the Lorde vnto the body.

¹⁴ not takynge hede to Iewes fables and commaundementes of men that turne awaye the trueth.

¹⁸ And the woman which thou sawest, is the great cytye, whiche raygneth ouer the kynges of the erth.

⁵ but God doth knowe, that the same daye that ye eat therof, your eyes shalbe opened, & ye shalbe euen as goddes, knowing good and euyll. ⁶ And so the woman (seyng that the same tre was good to eate, and lusty to the eyes, & that the same tre was pleasaunt to get wisdome) toke of the frute therof, and dyd eate: and gaue vnto her husband beynge with her, which dyd eate also.

²⁷ Wo vnto you Scrybes & pharises, ye ypocrites: for ye are lyke vnto painted sepulcres which in dede appeare beautifull outwarde but are wythin full of deed mens bones & of all fylthynes. ²⁸ Euen so ye also, outwardlye appere ryghteous vnto men: But wythin, ye are full of faynednesse and iniquyte.

¹³ For soch fals apostles are disceatfull workers, and fassy on them selues lyke vnto the apostles of Christ. ¹⁴ And no maruayle: for Satan him selfe is chaunged into the fassyon of an angell of light. ¹⁵ Therfore it is no great thynge though hys mynisters fassyon them selues, as though they were the ministers of ryghtewesnes: whose ende shalbe accordyng to theyr dedes.

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