¹ Therfore thou shalt loue the lord thy God & kepe his obseruaunces, his ordinaunces, hys lawes, & his commaundments alwaye. ² Call to your mynde this daye that which youre chyldren haue nether knowen nor sene: euen the nourture of the Lorde youre God, hys greatnesse, hys myghtye hande, and hys stretched out arme: ³ his myracles and hys actes whych he dyd in the myddes of Egypte, euen vnto Pharao the kynge of Egypte and vnto all hys lande: ⁴ & what he dyd vnto the host of Egypt, vnto theyr horses & charettes howe he brought the water of the red see vpon them as they chased you behynde, & howe the Lorde hath brought them to nought vnto thys daye: ⁵ & what he dyd vnto you in the wildernesse, vntyll ye came vnto thys place: ⁶ & what he dyd vnto Dathan and Abiram the sonnes of Eliab the sonne of Ruben, howe the erth opened hyr mouth, and swalowed them, wyth theyr housholdes and theyr tentes, & all theyr substance that was in theyr possession, in the myddes of Israel. ⁷ Doutles, youre eyes haue sene all the greate actes of the Lorde whych he dyd. ⁸ Therfore shall ye kepe all the commaundmentes, whych I commaunde the thys daye, that ye maye be stronge & go in and conquere the lande whether ye go to possesse it, ⁹ & that ye maye prolonge youre dayes in the lande which the Lorde sware vnto your fathers, to geue vnto them and to theyr seed, a lande that floweth wyth mylcke and honye. ¹⁰ For the lande whether thou goest to possesse it, is not as the lande of Egypte that ye came out of, where thou sowedst thy seed and wateredst it wyth thy fete as a garden of herbes: ¹¹ but the lande whyther ye go ouer to possesse it, is a lande that hath hylles and valeyes, and drinketh water of the rayne of heauen. ¹² Thys lande doth the Lorde thy God care for, & the eyes of the Lorde thy God are alwayes vpon it, from the begynnynge of the yeare, vnto the ende of the yeare. ¹³ If you shall herken therfore vnto my commaundementes, whych I commaunde you thys daye, that ye loue the Lorde youre God & serue him wyth all youre herte, & wyth all youre soul ¹⁴ I also wyll geue rayne vnto youre lande in due ceason: the fyrst rayne and the later, that thou mayest gather in thy corne, thy wyne & thyne oyle. ¹⁵ And I will sende grasse in thy feldes for thy catell: that thou mayest eate, and fyll thy selfe. ¹⁶ But beware that youre herte deceaue you not & ye turne asyde, and serue straunge Goddes, and worshyp them, ¹⁷ and then the Lord beynge wroth agaynst you, shutt vp the heauen, that there be no rayne, and that youre lande yelde not her frute, and lest ye perysh quickly from of the good lande, whych the Lorde geueth you. ¹⁸ Therfore shall ye put vp these my wordes in youre herte and in youre soule, & bynde them for a sygne vpon youre hande, that they maye be as a warninge betwene your eyes, ¹⁹ and ye shall teach them youre children that they maye talke of them, when thou syttest in thyne house, and when thou walkest by the waye: when thou lyest downe, & when thou rysest vp: ²⁰ yee and thou shalt wryte them vpon the dore postes of thyne house, and vpon thy gates, ²¹ that your dayes maye be multiplied, & the dayes of youre children, in the land whych the Lorde sware vnto youre fathers to geue them, as longe as the dayes of heauen last vpon the erth. ²² For yf ye kepe all these commaundmentes, which I commaund you so that ye do them: Namely, that ye loue the Lord youre God, & walke in all his wayes, and cleaue vnto him, ²³ Then wyll the Lorde cast out all these nacyons before you, and ye shalbe the heyres of great nacions and of them that are myghtyer then youre selues. ²⁴ All the places where on the soles of youre fete shall treade, shalbe youres, euen from the wildernesse and from Libanno, & from the ryuer Euphrates, euen vnto the vttemost see, shall youre coaste be. ²⁵ There shall no man be able to stande before you: for the Lorde youre God shall cast the feare & dreade of you vpon all the lande that ye shall treade vpon, as he hath sayde vnto you. ²⁶ Beholde, I set before you thys daye, a blessynge & a curs ²⁷ a blessynge: yf ye obeye the commaundmentes of the Lorde youre God whych I commaunde you thys daye. ²⁸ And a curse: yf ye wyll not obeye the commaundmentes of the Lorde youre God: but turne out of the waye, whych I commaunde you thys daye, to go after straunge goddes, whych ye haue not knowen. ²⁹ When the Lorde thy God therfore hath brought the in to the lande, whether thou goest to possesse it, thou shalt put the blessynge vpon mount Garizim, & the curse vpon mount Ebal, ³⁰ whych (mountaynes) are on the other syde Iordan on the backe syde of the waye towarde the goynge doune of the sonne, in the lande of the Cananites whych dwel in the playne ouer agaynst Gilgal besyde the groue of Moreh. ³¹ For ye shall passe ouer Iordane, to go in, and possesse the lande, which the Lorde your God geueth you, and ye shall conquere it, & dwell therin. ³² Take hede therfore that ye do all the commaundementes and lawes, whych I sett before you thys daye.

So that the Egipcians sayde: Let vs fle from the face of Israel: for the Lorde fighteth for them agaynst the Egipcians. ²⁶ And the Lorde sayd vnto Moses: stretch out thyne hande ouer the see, that the waters maye come agayne vpon the Egipcian, vpon his charettes and vpon his horsemen. ²⁷ And Moses stretched forth hys hande ouer the see, and it came agayne to his course rarly in the mornynge, and the Egipcians fledd agaynst it. And the Lorde ouerthrew the Egipcians in the myddest of the see: ²⁸ and the water returned and couered the charettes and the horsmen: and all the hoost of Pharao that came into the see after them, so that there remayned not one of them. ²⁹ But the chyldren of Israel walked vpon drye lande thorowe the myddest of the see, and the waters were a walle vnto them on the ryght hande of them, and on the left. ³⁰ Thus the Lorde delyuered Israel the selfe same daye out of the hande of the Egipcians: and Israel sawe the Egipcians deed vpon the see syde. ³¹ And Israel sawe that mightye power which the Lord shewed vpon the Egipcians: and the people feared the Lorde, and beleued the Lorde and his seruaunt Moses.

²⁹ By fayth they passed thorow the reed see as by drye lande: which when the Egypcyans had assayed to do, they were drowned.

²⁰ Thou leddest thy people lyke shepe, by the hande of Moses and Aaron.

¹⁴ He deuyded the see, and let them go thorow: he made the waters to stande on a heape. ¹⁵ In the daye tyme also he led them wyth a cloude, and all the nyght thorow wt a light of fyre. ¹⁶ He cloaue the hard rockes in the wyldernesse, and gaue them drincke therof, as it had bene out of the greate deapth. ¹⁷ He brought waters out of the stony rocke, so that it gusshed out lyke the ryuers. ¹⁸ Yet for all this they synned more agaynst hym, and prouoked the moost hyest in the wyldernes. ¹⁹ They tempted God in theyr hertes, and requyred meate for theyr lust. ²⁰ They spake agaynst God also sayenge: Shall God prepare a table in the wildernesse? ²¹ He smote the stony rocke in dede, that the water gushed out, and the streames flowed withall: but can he geue bred also, or prouyde flesh for his people? ²² When the Lord hearde thys, he was wroth: so the fyre was kyndled in Iacob, & ther came vp heuy dyspleasure agaynst Israel. ²³ Because they beleued not in God, and put not their truste in his helpe. ²⁴ So he commaunded the cloudes aboue, and opened the dores of heauen. ²⁵ He rayned downe Manna also vpon them, for to eate, and gaue them foode from heauen. ²⁶ So man dyd eate angels fode, for he sent them meate ynough. ²⁷ He caused the East wynd to blowe vnder the heauen, and thorow his power he brought in the south west wynde. ²⁸ He rayned flesh vpon them as thicke as dust, and fethered foules lyke as the sande of the see. ²⁹ He let it fall amonge their tentes euen rounde aboute their habytacyon. ³⁰ So they dyd eate, and were well fylled, for he gaue them their awne desyre. They were not disapoynted of their lust. ³¹ But whyle the meate was yet in theyr mouthes: the heuy wrath of God came vpon them, & slewe the welthiest of them, yee, and smote downe, the chosen men that were in Israel. ³² But for all this they synned yet more, and beleued not hys wonderous worckes. ³³ Therfore, their dayes dyd he consume in vanyte, and their yeares in trouble. ³⁴ When he slewe them, they sought hym, and turned them early and enquered after God. ³⁵ And they remembred that God was their strength, and that the hye God was their redemer. ³⁶ Neuerthelesse, they dyd but flatter hym wyth their mouth, and dyssembled with him in their tonge. ³⁷ For their herte was not whole wyth hym, nether contynued they stedfast in hys couenaunt. ³⁸ But he was so mercyfull, that he forgaue theyr mysdedes, and destroyed them not. ³⁹ Yee, many a tyme turned he hys wrath awaye, and wolde not suffre is whole dyspleasure to aryse. ⁴⁰ For he consydered that they were but flesh: and that they were, euen a wynde that passeth awaye, and commeth not agayne. ⁴¹ Many a tyme dyd they prouoke him in the wyldernesse, and greued him in the deserte. ⁴² They turned backe, & tempted God, & moued the holy one in Israel. ⁴³ They thought not of hys hand, and of the daye when he delyuered them from the hande of the enemye. ⁴⁴ How he had wrought hys myracles in Egypte, and his wondres in the felde of Zoan. ⁴⁵ He turned their waters into bloude, so that they myght not dryncke of the ryuers. ⁴⁶ He sent lyce amonge them, and deuoured them vp and frogges to destroye them. ⁴⁷ He gaue their frutes vnto the catyr pyller, and their laboure vnto the greshopper. ⁴⁸ He destroyed their vynes wt hayle stones, and their mulbery trees wyth the frost. ⁴⁹ He smote their catel also with haylestones, & their flockes with hote thonder boltes. ⁵⁰ He cast vpon them the furyousnesse of hys wrath, anger, displeasure and trouble, and sent euell angels among them. ⁵¹ He made awaye to his indignacion, and spared not their soule from death, but gaue their lyfe ouer to the pestylence. ⁵² And smote all the fyrst borne in Egypt, the moost principall and myghtyest in the dwellynges of Ham. ⁵³ But as for hys awne people, he lead them forth lyke shepe, and caryed them in the wyldernesse lyke a flocke ⁵⁴ He brought them out safely, that they shulde not feare, & ouer whelmed their enemyes with the see. ⁵⁵ And brought them within the borders of hys Sanctuary: euen to this mountayne, whych he purchased with hys ryght hande. ⁵⁶ He cast out the Heathen also before them, caused their lande to be denyded amonge them for an heritage, and made the trybes of Israell to dwell in their tentes. ⁵⁷ So they tempted and displeased the most hye God, and kepte not hys testimonyes. ⁵⁸ But turned their backes, and fell awaye lyke their forfathers, startynge asyde lyke a broken bowe. ⁵⁹ For they greued hym with their hyll alters, and prouoked him to displeasure wyth their ymages. ⁶⁰ When God hearde this, he was wroth, and toke sore dyspleasure at Israel. ⁶¹ So that he forsoke the Tabernacle in Silo, euen the tent that he had pitched among men. ⁶² He delyuered their power into captiuyte, and their bewtye into the enemyes hande. ⁶³ He gaue his people ouer also into the swerde, and was wroth wyth hys inherytaunce. ⁶⁴ The fyre consumed their yong men, and their maydens were not geuen to mariage. ⁶⁵ Their Preastes were slayne wt the swerde, and there were no wyddowes to make lamentacion. ⁶⁶ So the Lorde awaked as one out of slepe, and lyke a gyaunte refreshed wyth wyne. ⁶⁷ He smote his enemyes in the hynder partes, and put them to a perpetuall shame. ⁶⁸ He refused the tabernacle of Ioseph, and chose not the trybe of Ephraim. ⁶⁹ But chose the trybe of Iuda, euen the hyll of Sion which he loued. ⁷⁰ And there he buylded hys temple on hye, and layed the foundacion of it lyke the grounde, whych he hath made continually. ⁷¹ He chose Dauid also his seruaunt, and toke him awaye from the shepe foldes. ⁷² As he was folowinge the ewes greate with yonge ones, he toke hym, that he myght fede Iacob hys people, and Israel his enheritaunce. So he fed them with a faythfull and true hert, & ruled them prudently withall his power.

³⁹ He spred out a cloude to be a coueryng, and fyre to geue lyght in the nightceason. ⁴⁰ At their desyre, he brought quayles, and he fylled them with the bread of heauen. ⁴¹ He opened the rocke of stone, and the waters flowed out: so that ryuers ranne in the drye places.

¹² Then beleued they hys wordes, and sange prayse vnto hym. ¹³ But wythin a whyle they forgat hys worckes, & wolde not abyde hys councell. ¹⁴ But lust came vpon them in the wildernesse, and they tempted God in the deserte. ¹⁵ And he gaue them their desyre, and sent leanesse withall in to their soule. ¹⁶ They angred Moses also in the tentes, and Aaron the sayncte of the Lorde. ¹⁷ So the earth opened, and swalowed vp Dathan, & couered the congregacion of Abiram. ¹⁸ And the fyre was kyndled in their company, the flame brent vp the vngodly. ¹⁹ They made a calfe in Horeb, and worshipped the molten ymage. ²⁰ Thus they turned their glory into the similitude of a calfe, that eateth haye. ²¹ And they forgat God their Sauioure, which had done so greate thynges in Egipte. ²² Wonderous worckes in the lande of Ham, and fearfull thinges by the reed see. ²³ So he sayd he wolde haue destroyed them, had not Moses his chosen stande before hym in that gappe: to turne awaye his wrathful indignacion, lest he shulde destroye them. ²⁴ Yee they thought scorne of that pleasaunt lande, and gaue no credence vnto his word. ²⁵ But murmured in their tentes, and herkened not vnto the voyce of the Lorde. ²⁶ Then lyft he vp his hand agaynst them, to ouerthrowe them in the wildernes. ²⁷ To cast out their sede amonge the nacions, and to scater them in the landes. ²⁸ They ioyned them selues vnto Baal Peor, and eate the offeringes of the deed. ²⁹ Thus they prouoked him vnto anger with their awne inuencions and the plage was greate amonge them. ³⁰ Then stode vp Phinehes and prayed, & so the plage ceased. ³¹ And that was counted vnto him for righteousnesse, amonge all posterites for euermore. ³² They angered him also at the waters of stryfe, so that he punyshed Moses for their sakes. ³³ Because they prouoked his sprete, so that he spake vnaduisedly with his lyppes. ³⁴ Nether destroyed they the Heathen, as the Lorde commaunded them. ³⁵ But were myngled among the Heathen, and lerned their worckes. ³⁶ In so moch that they worshipped their ydoles, which turned to their awne decaye. ³⁷ Yee they offred their sonnes and their daughters vnto deuel ³⁸ And shed innocent bloude, euen the bloude of their sonnes & of their daughters, whom they offred vnto the ydoles of Canaan, and the lande was defyled with bloud. ³⁹ Thus were they stayned with their awne worckes, and went a whorynge wyth their awne inuencions. ⁴⁰ Therfore was the wrath of the Lorde kynled agaynst hys people, in so moch that he abhorred hys awne enheritaunce. ⁴¹ And he gaue them ouer into the hande of the Heathen, and they that hated them, were lordes ouer them. ⁴² Their enemyes oppressed them, and had them in subieccion. ⁴³ Many a tyme did he delyuer them, but they rebelled agaynst him with their awne inuencions, & were brought downe in their wyckednesse. ⁴⁴ Neuerthelesse, when he sawe their aduersyte, he herde their complaynte. ⁴⁵ He thought vpon his couenaunt, & pytied them, accordyng vnto the multitude of his mercyes. ⁴⁶ Yee he made all those that had ledd them awaye captiue, to pytie them. ⁴⁷ Delyuer vs (O Lorde oure God) and gather vs from amonge the Heathen: that we maye geue thanckes to thy holy name, & make oure boast of thy prayse. ⁴⁸ Blessed be the Lorde God of Israel from euerlastyng and worlde without ende, & let all people saye: Amen, Amen. Prayse the Lord

¹ And Corah the sonne of Iezehar the sonne of Cahath the sonne of Leui, and Dathan & Abiram the sonne of Eliab, and On the sonne of Peleth, the sonne of Ruben: ² rose vp before Moses, with other men of the children of Israel, two hundred and fiftye, which were captaynes of the multitude great and famous men in the congregacion: ³ & they gathred them selues together agaynst Moses and Aaron, & sayde vnto them: ye make moche to do, seynge all the multitude are holy euery one of them, and the Lorde is amonge them: Why heaue ye your selues vp aboue the congregacyon of the Lorde? ⁴ And when Moses heard it, he fell vpon his face, ⁵ and spake vnto Corah and vnto all his company, saying: to morowe the Lorde will shewe who are his, who is holy, & who ought to approch nye vnto him, and whom he hath chosen to come to him. ⁶ This do therfore, take you fyerpannes, both Corah and all his company ⁷ and do fyer therin, and put cens in them before the Lorde to morowe. And the man whom the Lorde doth chose, the same shalbe holy. Ye make much to do, ye chyldren of Leui. ⁸ And Moses sayde vnto Corah: heare ye chyldren of Leui: ⁹ Is it but a small thinge vnto you, that the God of Israel hath separated you from the multitude of Israel: and brought you to him selfe, to do the seruyce of the dwelling place of the Lord, and to stande before the multitude, and to minystre vnto him? ¹⁰ he hath taken the to him and all thy brethren the sonnes of Leui with the, and seke ye the offyce of the preaste also. ¹¹ For which cause both thou and all thy companye are gathered together against the Lorde? And what is Aaron, that ye murmur agaynst him? ¹² And Moses sent, and called Dathan and Abiram the sonnes of Eliab, which sayde: we wyll not come vp. ¹³ Is it a small thynge, that thou hast brought vs oute of a lande that floweth with mylke and hony, to kyll vs in the wildernes, and to raygne ouer vs also? ¹⁴ Hast thou brought vs vnto a lande that floweth with mylke and hony, and geuen vs inheritaunce of feldes and vyneyardes? Wilt thou pull out the eyes of these men? we wyll not come vp. ¹⁵ And Moses waxed very angry, & sayde vnto the Lorde. Turne not thou vnto theyr offeryng. I haue not taken so muche as an asse from them, neyther haue I hurte any of them. ¹⁶ And Moses sayde vnto Corah: Be thou and all thy company before the Lorde both thou, they, and Aaron tomorowe. ¹⁷ And take euery man his censer, and put cens in them, that ye maye offre before the Lorde: euery man of the two hundred and fyftye take his censoure, thou also Aaron, that euery one maye haue his censer. ¹⁸ And they toke euery man hys censer, and put fyer in them, and layed cens theron, and stode in the dore of the tabernacle of witnesse with Moses and Aaron. ¹⁹ And Corah gathered all the congregacyon agaynst them vnto the dore of the tabernacle of witnes. And the glory of the Lord appeared vnto all the congregacion. ²⁰ And the Lorde spake vnto Moses and Aaron, sayinge: ²¹ separate your selues from amonge this congregacion, that I maye consume them atonce. ²² And they fell vpon their faces and sayde. O moost myghtye God of the spretes of all fleshe, yf one man hath synned, wylt thou be wroth with all the multitude? ²³ And the Lorde spake vnto Moses saying: ²⁴ speake vnto the congregacyon and saye: Get you awaye from about the dwellyng of Corah, Dathan and Abiram. ²⁵ And Moses rose vp, and went vnto Dathan and Abiram, and the elders of Israel folowed him. ²⁶ And he spake vnto the congregacion, saying: departe from the tentes of these wicked men, and touche nothing of theirs: lest ye perysh in all their synnes. ²⁷ And so they gate them from the dwellyng of Corah, Dathan and Abiram on euery syde. And Dathan and Abiram came out and stode in the dore of their tentes with their wyues, their sonnes and their lytle chyldren. ²⁸ And Moses sayd: Herby ye shall knowe that the Lorde hath sent me to do all these workes, and that I haue not done them of mine awne minde. ²⁹ If these men dye the comen deth of all men: or yf they be visyted after the visitacyon of all men, then the Lorde hath not sent me. ³⁰ But and yf the Lorde make a newe thyng, and the earth open her mouth and swalowe them vp wt all that they haue: and they go downe quycke into hell: then ye shall vnderstande, that these men haue prouoked the Lorde. ³¹ And it fortuned that assone as he had made an ende of speakyng all these wordes, ³² the grounde cloue asonder that was vnder them: & the erth opened her mouth, and swalowed them vp, and their houses, ³³ and all the men that were with Corah and all their goodes. And they and all that they had, went downe alyue vnto hell, and the earth closed vpon them: and they peryshed from amonge the congregacion. ³⁴ And all Israel that were aboute them fledd at the crye of them. And they sayd: lest the earthe swalowe vs vp also. ³⁵ And there came oute a fyer from the Lorde, and consumed the two hundred and fyftye men that offred cens.

⁹ And the soonnes of Eliab Nemuel, Dathan and Abiram. Thys is that Dathan and Abiram, which were famous in the congregacyon, & stroue agaynst Moses and Aaron in the companye of Corah, when they stroue agaynst the Lorde. ¹⁰ And the erth opened her mouth, and swalowed them vp. Corah also was in the death of that multitude, what tyme the fyre consumed two hundred and fyfty men, and they became a sygne:

³ oure father dyed in the wyldernes: and was not in the companye of them that gathered them selues together against the Lorde in the congregacyon of Corah. But dyed in hys awne synne, and hadd no sonnes.

¹⁷ So the earth opened, and swalowed vp Dathan, & couered the congregacion of Abiram.

³ The Lorde made not this bonde with oure fathers, but with vs: euen with vs, which are all here alyue thys daye.

² Who can expresse the noble actes of the Lorde or shewe forth all hys prayse?

⁴ One generacyon shall prayse thy workes vnto another, and declare thy power. ⁵ As for me I wylbe talkyng of thy worship, thy glory, thy prayse, & wonderous worckes. ⁶ So that men shall speake of the myght of thy maruelous actes, and I wyll also tell of thy greatnes.

¹² That thy power, thy glory & mightinesse of thy kyngdome, myght be knowne vnto men.

² Prayse hym in hys noble actes, prayse hym accordynge vnto hys excellent greatnesse.

¹⁰ When thou hast eaten therfore and fylled thy selfe, thou shalt blesse the Lord thy God in that good lande, whych he hath geuen the. ¹¹ Beware, that thou forgett not the Lorde thy God, that thou woldest not kepe hys commaundmentes, hys lawes & his ordinaunces whych I commaunde the thys daye y

¹² And nowe Israel, what doth the Lord thy God requier of the but to feare the Lorde thy God, and to walke in all hys wayes, to loue hym, and to serue the Lorde thy God with all thyne herte & with all thy soule: ¹³ Namely, that thou kepe the commaundmentes of the Lorde, and hys ordinaunces whych I commaunde the thys daye, for thy welth. ¹⁴ Beholde, heauen and the heauen of heauens is the Lordes thy God, and the erth wyth all that therin is: ¹⁵ Notwythstondynge, the Lord had a lust vnto thy fathers to loue them, and chose theyr seed after them, euen you, aboue all nacyons, as thou seest thys daye.

¹⁶ Thys daye the Lorde thy God hath commaunded the to do these ordinaunces and lawes: kepe thou them, and do them wythall thyne herte, and all thy soule. ¹⁷ Thou hast sett vp the Lorde thys daye to be thy God, and to walke in hys wayes, and to kepe hys ordinaunces, hys commaundementes & hys lawes, and to herken vnto his voyce. ¹⁸ And the Lorde hath sett the vp thys daye, to be a seuerall people vnto hym (as he hath promysed the) and that thou kepe hys commaundementes, ¹⁹ and to make the hye aboue all nacyons (which he hath made) in prayse in name and honoure: and that thou mayest be an holy people vnto the Lorde thy God, as he hath sayde.

⁴⁷ because thou seruedst not the Lorde thy God wyth ioyfulnesse and wyth a good herte, whan thou haddest aboundaunce of all thynges,

⁶ Plucke vp youre hartes therfore, and be stronge, dreade not, nor be aferde of them: for the Lord thy God him selfe doth go wyth the. He shall not fayle the, nor forsake the. ⁷ And Moses called vnto Iosua, and sayde vnto hym in the syghte of all Israel: Be stronge & bolde, for thou must go with thys people vnto the lande, which the Lorde hath sworne vnto their fathers, to geue them, & thou shalt geue it them to enheret.

²³ And he gaue Iosua the sonne of Nun a charge, and sayd: be bolde, & stronge, for thou shalt bryng the chyldren of Israel into the lande, whych I sware vnto them, and I wyll be with the.

⁶ Be strong therfore and bolde: for vnto this people shalt thou deuyde the lande which I sware vnto their fathers to geue them. ⁷ Onely be thou strong & as bolde as thou canst, that thou mayest obserue & do according to all the lawe, which Moses my seruaunt commaunded the. Tourne therfrom nether to the right hand, nor to the lefte: that thou mayste do wysely in all thou takest in hande:

¹² What reward shall I geue vnto the Lorde, for all the benefytes that he hath done vnto me? ¹³ I wyll receaue the cuppe of saluacion, and call vpon the name of the Lord. ¹⁴ I wyll paye my vowes now in the presence of all his people, ryght deare in the syght of the Lorde is the death of hys saynctes. ¹⁵ Behold (O Lorde) how that I am thy seruaunt: I am thy seruaunt, ¹⁶ and the sonne of thy handmayde, thou hast broken my bondes in sonder.

³ When I called vpon the, thou hardest me, and endewdest my soule wt moch strength.

³¹ But vnto them that haue the Lord before theyr eyes, shall strength be encreased. Aegles wynges shall growe vpon them. When they runne they shall not fall: and when they go, they shall not be weery.

¹⁹ sayinge. O thou man so well beloued, feare not: be content, take a good hert vnto the, and be stronge. So when he had spoken vnto me, I recouered, and sayde. Speake on my Lord, for thou hast refreshed me.

⁹ For this thynge besought I the Lorde thryse, that it might departe from me. ¹⁰ And he sayde vnto me: my grace is sufficient for the. For my strength is made parfect thorow weaknes. Uery gladly therfore wyll I reioyce of my weaknes, that the strength of Christ maye dwell in me.

¹⁶ that he wolde graunt you accordynge to the ryches of hys glorye, that ye maye be strengthed with might by his sprete in the inner man,

¹⁰ Finally my brethren, be stronge thorowe the Lorde and thorowe the power of his myght.

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

¹¹ strengthed with all myght, thorowe hys glorious power, vnto all pacience and longe sufferynge with ioyfulnes

⁸ and am come downe to delyuer them out of the hande of the Egyptians, and to brynge them out of that lande vnto a good lande and a large: and vnto a lande that floweth wyth mylcke and hony: euen vnto the place of the Cananites and Hethites, and Amorites, and Pherezites, and Heuites, and of the Iebusites.

¹⁶ Honoure thy father and thy mother, as the Lorde thy God hath commaunded the: that thy dayes maye be prolonged, & that it maye go well with the in the lande, which the Lord thy God geueth the.

² namely, that thou myghtest feare the Lorde thy God, and kepe all hys ordinaunces and hys commaundementes whych I commaunde the: thou and thy sonne, and thy sonnes sonne all dayes of thy lyfe, that thy dayes maye be prolonged.

¹⁸ and thou shalt do that which is right and good in the syghte of the Lorde: that thou mayst prospere, and that thou mayst go in, and conquere that good lande whyche the Lorde sware vnto thy fathers,

⁵ It is not for thy righteousnes sake or for thy ryght hert, that thou goest to possesse theyr lande. But for the wyckednesse of these nacions, the Lorde thy God doth cast them out before the, euen to performe the worde, which the Lorde thy God sware vnto thy fathers, Abraham, Isahac and Iacob.

¹² What man is he that lysteth to lyue, & wold fayne se good dayes? ¹³ Kepe thy tonge from euell, & thy lyppes, that they speake no gile. ¹⁴ Eschue euell, & do good. seke peace and ensue it. ¹⁵ The eyes of the Lorde are ouer the ryghteous, & his eares are open vnto their prayers. ¹⁶ The countenaunce of the Lorde is agaynst them that do euell, to rote out the remembraunce of them from of the earth. ¹⁷ The ryghteous crye, & the Lorde heareth them, & delyuereth them out of all theyr troubles. ¹⁸ The Lorde is nye vnto them that are of a contryte hert, & wyll saue soche as be of an humble sprete. ¹⁹ Greate are the troubles of the ryghteous but the Lorde delyuereth hym out of all. ²⁰ He kepeth all hys bones, so that not one of them is broken. ²¹ But mysfortune shall slaye the vngodly, and they that hate the ryghteous, shalbe desolate. ²² The Lorde delyuereth the soules of hys seruauntes: and all they that put theyr trust in hym shall not be destitute.

² For they shall prolonge the dayes & yeres of thy lyfe, and bringe the peace.

¹⁶ Upon her ryght hande is longe lyfe, and vpon her left hande is riches and honour.

¹¹ For thorowe me thy dayes shalbe prolonged, and the yeares of thy lyfe shalbe many.

²⁷ The feare of the Lorde maketh a longe lyfe, but the yeares of the vngodly shalbe shortened.

⁶ euen in the daye that I lyft vp myne hande ouer them, to bringe them out of the lande of Egypte, into a lande that I had prouyded for them, which floweth with mylcke & hony, & is a pleasaunt lande amonge all other.

¹⁸ Yf the kynred of Egypte go not vp, & come not, it shall not rayne vpon them nether. This shalbe the plage wher wt the Lorde wil smyte all the Heathen, that come not vp to kepe the feast of tabernacles:

²⁸ God geue the of the dewe of heauen, and of the fatnesse of the erth, and plentye of corne and wyne.

⁷ For the Lord thy God bryngeth the into a good lande, a lande in the whych are ryuers of water, and fountayns and sprynges that springe out of valeyes and hylles: ⁸ a lande wherin is wheat & barly, vyneyardes, fygtrees and pomgranates: a lande wherin is oyle olyue and honie: ⁹ a lande, wherin thou shalt eate bread wythout skarcenesse, neither shalt thou lacke anye thynge: a lande whose stones are yron, & out of whose hylles thou shalt dygge brasse.

¹² Thou crownest the yeare wt thy goodnesse: & thy cloudes droppe fatnesse. ¹³ They shall droppe vpon the dwellynges of the wildernesse: and the lytle hylles shall reioyse on euery syde. The foldes shalbe full of shepe, the valleys also shall stande so thycke wt corne, that they shall laugh and synge.

¹⁰ He sendeth the springes into the ryuers, which runne among the hylles. ¹¹ All beastes of the felde dryncke therof: and the wylde asses quench theyr thyrste. ¹² Besyde them shall the foules of the ayre haue theyr habitacyon, & synge amonge the braunches. ¹³ He watreth the hylles from aboue, the earth is fylled wyth the frute of thy worckes.

¹ Wo be vnto the crowne of pride, euen to the droncken people of Ephraim whose great pompe is as a flour that fadeth awaye vpon the head of the valleye of such as be in welth, and are ouerladen with wyne.

⁷ And when I had brought you into a pleasaunt welbuylded lande, that ye myght enioye the frutes and all the commodyties of the same: ye went forth and defyled my lande, & brought myne herytage to abhominacyon.

⁷ For the erth which dryncketh in the rayne that commeth oft vpon it, and bringeth forth herbes mete for them that dresse it, receaueth blessinge of God.

³ And the Lorde sayde vnto hym: I haue hearde thy prayer and thy intercessyon, that thou hast made before me. For I haue halowed this house (which thou hast buylte) to put my name ther for euer, and myne eyes and myne herte shalbe there perpetuallye.

⁵ But the eye of their God was vpon the elders of the Iewes, that they coulde not cause them to ceasse, tyll the matter was brougth to Darius, and then they answered by letters ther vnto

¹⁸ Behold the eye of the Lorde is vpon them that feare hym, and vpon them that put theyr trust in his mercy.

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

⁶ and I will set myne eyes vpon them for the best, for I wyll brynge them agayne into this lande: I wyll buylde them vp, and not breake them downe: I will plante them, and not rote them out.

²⁹ And there thou shalt seke the Lorde thy God: & shalt fynde hym, yf thou seke hym wt all thyne herte, and with all thy soule.

⁵ and thou shalt loue the Lorde thy God with all thyne harte, & with all thy soule, & with all thy might. ⁶ And these wordes which I commaunde the thys daye, shalbe in thine herte,

¹⁷ But kepe the commaundementes of the Lorde youre God, and hys witnesses and his ordinaunces which he hath commaunded the,

⁸ Therfore shall ye kepe all the commaundmentes, whych I commaunde the thys daye, that ye maye be stronge & go in and conquere the lande whether ye go to possesse it,

²² For yf ye kepe all these commaundmentes, which I commaund you so that ye do them: Namely, that ye loue the Lord youre God, & walke in all his wayes, and cleaue vnto him,

⁴ Thou hast charged that we shall diligently kepe thy commaundementes.

⁴ I wyll sende you rayne in the ryght ceason and the lande shall yelde her encrease, and the trees of the felde shall geue theyr frute.

¹² The Lorde shall open vnto the his good treasure, euen the heauen to geue rayne vnto thy lande in due ceason, and to blesse all the laboures of thyne hande. And thou shalt lende vnto many nacyons, but shalt not borowe thy selfe.

¹⁰ He geueth rayne vpon the erth, and poureth water vpon the stretes, ¹¹ to set vp them that be of lowe degre, and that those which are in heuynesse may come to prosperite.

¹¹ He maketh the cloudes to do theyr labour in geuynge moystnesse, & agayne wyth his lyght he dryueth awaye the cloude. ¹² He distrybuteth also on euery syde, accordynge as it pleaseth hym to deale out hys worckes, that they maye do whatsoeuer he commaundeth them thorow the whole worlde: ¹³ whether it be to punysh any lande, or to doo good vnto them, that seke hym.

⁹ Thou visitest the earth, and blessest it: thou makest it very plenteous. ¹⁰ The ryuer of God is full of water, thou preparest their corne: for so thou prouydest for the earthe. ¹¹ Thou waterest her forowes, thou sendest rayne into the litle valleys therof: thou makest it soft with the droppes of rayne, and blessed the increase of it.

²² Are there eny amonge the goddes of the Gentyles, that sende rayne or geue the showers of heauen? Or may the heuens drope rayne without thy commaundement? Dost not thou it, O Lorde our God, in whom we trust? Yee Lorde, thou dost all these thynges.

²⁶ Good fortune and prosperite will I geue them, and vnto all that be rounde aboute my hyll. A prosperous shower and rayne will I sende them in due season,

²² Be not ye afrayed nether (O ye beastes of the felde) for the pastures shalbe grene, and the trees shall beare their frute: the fyggetrees and vyneyardes shall geue theyr increase. ²³ Be glad then (O ye chyldren of Syon) and reioyse in the Lorde youre God, for he hath geuen you a teacher of ryghteousnesse: & he it is that shall sende you downe shouers of rayne, early and late in the fyrst moneth:

⁷ Be pacient therfore brethren, vnto the commynge of the Lord. Beholde, the husbande man wayteth for the precyous frute of the earth, & hath longe pacience ther vpon, vntyll he receaue the early & the latter rayne.

¹¹ houses full of all maner of goodes which thou fylledst not, and welles dygged which thou dyggedest not, vineyardes & oliue trees which thou plantedst not, and when thou hast eaten & art full:

¹⁰ When thou hast eaten therfore and fylled thy selfe, thou shalt blesse the Lord thy God in that good lande, whych he hath geuen the.

⁵ And Ahab sayde vnto Obadia: Go into the lande, vnto all fountaynes of water, & vnto all brokes, yf happlye we maye fynde grasse, to saue the horses and the mules, & that we destroye not some of the beastes.

¹⁴ He bryngeth forth grasse for the cattell, and grene herbe for the seruice of men:

⁵ The Hynde also forsoke the yonge fawne, that he brought forth in the felde, because there was no grasse.

¹⁸ O what a syghynge make the kyne? the bullockes are very euell lykynge, because they haue no pasture: and the shepe are famysshed awaye.

¹⁹ yee, the Lorde shall answere, and saye vnto his people: Beholde, I wyll sende you corne, wyne & oyle, so that ye shall haue plenty of them: and I will nomore geue you ouer to be a reprofe amonge the Heathen.

²² Be not ye afrayed nether (O ye beastes of the felde) for the pastures shalbe grene, and the trees shall beare their frute: the fyggetrees and vyneyardes shall geue theyr increase.

⁶ ye sowe moch, but ye bryng lytle in: ye eate, but ye haue not ynough, ye drynck, but ye are not fylled: ye decke youre selues, but ye are not warme: and he that earneth eny wages, putteth it in a broken purse.

¹⁰ Bringe euery Tithe into my barne, that there maye be meat in myne house: and proue me withall (sayeth the Lorde of hoostes) yf I wyll not open the wyndowes of heauen vnto you, and poure you out a blessyng with plenteousnesse. ¹¹ Yee, I shall reproue the consumer for your sakes, so that he shall not eate vp the frute of youre grounde, nether shall the vynyarde be baren in the felde, sayeth the Lorde of hostes:

⁹ Take hede to thy selfe therfore, and kepe thy soule diligently, that thou forget not the thynges which thyne eyes haue sene, & that they departe not out of thyne harte, all the dayes of thy lyfe: but teache them thy sonnes & thy sonnes sonnes:

²³ Take hede vnto youre selues, that ye forgett not the appoyntement of the Lorde your God whyche he made with you, and that ye make you no grauen ymage, or any pycture, that the Lorde thy God hath forbydden the.

³ herken not thou vnto the wordes of that prophete or dreamer of dreames. For the Lorde thy God proueth you, to wete, whether ye loue the Lorde youre God wyth all youre herte and with all your soule.

¹⁸ Lest there be amonge you man or woman, kynred or trybe, whose hert turneth awaye this daye from the Lorde oure God, to go and serue the goddes of these nacyons: & lest there be amonge you some roote that beareth gall & worm wod,

¹⁷ But and yf thyne herte turne awaye, so that thou wylt not heare: but shalt goo astraye, and worshyppe straunge goddes, and serue them,

²⁷ Hath my hert medled priuely with any disceate? Or, dyd I euer kysse myne awne hande?

²⁰ Thus he doth but lese hys laboure, and hys herte which is disceaued, doth turne hym asyde: so that none of them can haue a fre conscience to thincke: maye not Ierre?

⁸ And he sayde: take hede, that ye be not deceaued. For many shall come in my name, and saye that they are Chryst: and the tyme draweth neare. Folowe ye not them therfore.

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

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

¹ Wherfore, we ought to geue the more ernest hede to the thynges that are spoken vnto vs, lest at any tyme we perysshe.

¹² Take hede brethren, lest at anye tyme ther be in anye of you a frowarde herte subiect vnto vnbelefe, that he shulde departe from the lyuynge God:

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.

¹⁵ And loke, that no man be destitute of the grace of god, lest anye roote of bytternes spryng vp and trouble, & therby many be defyled:

²⁶ If eny man among you seme to be deuoute &, refrayneth not hys tong, but deceaueth hys awne hert, thys mannes deuocyon is in vayne.

²¹ Babes kepes youre selues from ymages. Amen.

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

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.

⁴ And I sawe seates, and they sat vpon them, & iudgement was geuen vnto them: and I sawe the soules of them that were beheaded for the wytnes of Iesu, and for the worde of God: & which had not worshipped the beast, nether his ymage, nether had taken his marke vpon their forheades, or in their handes: and they lyued, and raygned with Christ a .M. yere:

²⁶ I call heauen and erth to recorde agaynst you thys daye, that ye shall shortely perish from of the lande, whether ye go ouer Iordan to possesse it: ye shall not prolonge youre dayes therin, but shall vtterly be destroyed

¹⁵ For the Lorde thy God is a gelouse God amonge you, lest the countenaunce of the Lorde thy God be moued to wrath agaynst the, and destroye the from of the erth.

¹⁹ And yf thou forget the Lorde thy God, and walke after straunge goddes, and serue them, & worshype them, I testifye vnto you this daye, that he shall surely perysh. ²⁰ As the nacions whych the Lorde destroyeth before you, euen so ye shall peryshe, because ye wolde not be obedient vnto the voyce of the Lorde youre God.

²³ And the heauen that is ouer thy head shalbe brasse, and the erthe that is vnder the, yron. ²⁴ The Lorde shall turne the rayne of the lande vnto powder and dust: euen from heauen shall they come doune vpon the, vntyll thou be brought to nought.

¹⁷ But and yf thyne herte turne awaye, so that thou wylt not heare: but shalt goo astraye, and worshyppe straunge goddes, and serue them, ¹⁸ I pronounce vnto you also this daye, that ye shall surely perysh, and that ye shall not prolonge youre dayes vpon the lande whether thou passest ouer Iordan, to go and possesse it.

¹³ be ye sure, that the Lorde youre God will nomore cast out all these nacions from before you. But they shalbe snares and trappes vnto you and scourges in youre sydes, and thornes in youre eyes, vntyll ye peryshe from of thys good lande, whych the Lorde youre God hath geuen you. ¹⁴ And behold, this daye, do I entre in to the waye of all the worlde, & ye knowe in all your hertes & in all youre soules, that nothyng hath fayled of all the good thynges which the Lord youre God promysed you: ¹⁵ But all are come to passe, & nothyng hath fayled therof. Therfore, as all good thinges are come vpon you, which the Lorde youre God promysed you, so shall the Lorde bryng vpon you all euell, vntyll he haue destroyed you from of thys good lande, whych the Lorde youre God hath geuen you, ¹⁶ when ye haue transgressed the appointment of the Lorde youre God, which he commaunded you: and haue gone and serued straunge goddes, and bowed youre selues to them. Then shall the wrath of the Lorde waxe whote vpon you, & ye shall peryshe quicklye from of the good lande, which he hath geuen you,

³⁵ If heauen be shut vp, & there be no rayne because they haue synned agaynst the: yet yf they praye in thys place, & knowledge vnto thy name, & turne from their synne, thorow thy scourgynge of them:

¹ And Elia the Thesbite (whych was of the enhabiters of Gilead) sayde vnto Ahab: as truly as the Lord God of Israel lyueth, before whome I stande there shalbe nether dewe nor rayne these yeres, but accordynge to my worde.

²⁶ Whan heauen is shutt vp, and there be no rayne, because they haue synned agaynst the: yet yf they praye in this place, and confesse thy name, and repent from their synne for the which thou chastenest them:

¹³ Yf I shut vp heauen, that there be no rayne: or yf I commaunde the locustes to deuoure the lande, or yf I sende pestilence amonge my people:

¹ The worde of the Lorde shewed vnto Ieremy, concernynge the derth of the frutes. ² Iuda hath mourned, his gates are desolate: they are broughte to heuynesse euen vnto the grounde, & the crye of Ierusalem goeth vp. ³ The lordes sent theyr seruauntes to fetch water, & when they came to the welles, they dyd fynde no water, but caried their vessels home emptie. They be ashamed & confounded, & couer theyr heades. ⁴ For the grounde is dryed vp, because there commeth no rayne vpon it. The plowmen also be ashamed, & couer theyr heades. ⁵ The Hynde also forsoke the yonge fawne, that he brought forth in the felde, because there was no grasse. ⁶ The wylde Asses dyd stande in the hye places, and drewe in theyr wynde lyke the dragons, theyr eyes dyd fayle for want of grasse.

⁷ When there were but thre monethes vnto the haruest, I withelde the rayne from you: ye I rayned vpon one cytie: and not vpon another, one pece of grounde was moystured wt rayne, and the grounde that I rayned not vpon, was drye.

⁹ Ye loked for moch and lo it is come to lytle, & though ye bringe it home, yet do I blowe it awaye. And why so sayeth the Lorde of hostes? Euen because that my house lyeth so waste, and ye ronne euery man vnto hys awne house. ¹⁰ Wherfore, the heauen is forbydden to geue you eny dew, and the earth is forbydden to geue you encrease. ¹¹ I haue called for a drouth, both vpon the lande and vpon the mountaynes, vpon corne, vpon wyne, and vpon oyle, vpon euery thynge that the grounde bryngeth forth, vpon men & vpon catell, yee, and vpon all handy laboure.

⁹ And it shalbe a signe vnto the vpon thyne hande, and for a remembraunce betwene thyne eyes, that the Lordes lawe maye be in thy mouth. For in a stronge hand the Lorde brought the out of Egipt.

¹⁶ This shalbe a token vpon thyne hande, and a remembraunce betwene thyne eyes, that the Lorde brought vs out of Egipte thorowe a mightye hande.

⁶ And these wordes which I commaunde the thys daye, shalbe in thine herte, ⁷ and thou shalt shewe them vnto thy chyldren, and shalt talke of them when thou art at home in thyne house, and as thou walkest by the waye, and when thou lyest doune, and when thou rysest vp: ⁸ and thou shalt bynde them for a sygne vpon thine hande. And they shalbe warnynges betwene thyne eyes ⁹ and thou shalt write them vpon the postes of thy house and vpon thy gates.

⁴⁶ and sayde vnto them: Sett youre herte vnto all the wordes which I testyfye vnto you thys daye: and ye shall commaunde them vnto youre chyldren, that they maye obserue and do all the wordes of thys lawe.

¹¹ Thy wordes haue I hyd wythin my herte, that I shulde not synne agaynst the.

¹ My sonne, forget not thou my lawe, but se that thyne hert kepe my commaundementes.

²⁰ My sonne, kepe thy fathers commaundement, and forsake not the lawe of thy mother. ²¹ Put them vp together in thyne herte, and bynde them aboute thy neck. ²² That they may leade the where thou goest, preserue the when thou art a slepe, and that when thou awakest, thou mayest talke of them. ²³ For the commaundement is a lanterne, and the lawe a lyght: yee chastenyng and nourtoure is the waye of lyfe

² Kepe my commaundementes and my lawe, euen as the apple of thyne eye, and thou shalt lyue. ³ Bynde them vpon thy fyngers, and wryte them in the table of thyne hert.

⁵ All theyr worckes do they for the intent, that they maye be sene of men. They set abroade their philateries, & make large the borders of their garmentes,

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

¹² Wherfore, I wyll not be neglygent to put you all wayes in remembraunce of soch thynges though ye knowe them youre selues, and and be stablished in the present trueth.

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

⁹ Take hede to thy selfe therfore, and kepe thy soule diligently, that thou forget not the thynges which thyne eyes haue sene, & that they departe not out of thyne harte, all the dayes of thy lyfe: but teache them thy sonnes & thy sonnes sonnes: ¹⁰ Specially the daye that thou stodest before the Lord thy God in Horeb, when the Lord sayed vnto me: gether me the people together, and I wyll make them heare my wordes, that they maye lerne to feare me all the dayes that they shall lyue vpon the erth and that they maye teache their chyldren:

⁷ and thou shalt shewe them vnto thy chyldren, and shalt talke of them when thou art at home in thyne house, and as thou walkest by the waye, and when thou lyest doune, and when thou rysest vp:

¹¹ Come ye chyldren & herken vnto me, I wyll teach you the feare of the Lorde.

⁵ He made a couenaunt with Iacob, and gaue Israel a lawe which he commaunded oure forefathers to teache their children. ⁶ That their posterite myght knowe it, and the children which were yet vnborne.

¹ My sonne, yf thou wilt receaue my wordes, and kepe my commaundementes by the,

¹ Heare, O ye chyldren, the fatherly exhortacyon, and take good heade, that ye maye lerne wysdome. ² For I haue geuen you a good doctryne, forsake nott ye my lawe. ³ For when I my selfe was my fathers deare sonne, and tenderly beloued of my mother: ⁴ he taught me also, and sayde vnto me: Lett thyne herte receaue my wordes, kepe my commaundementes, and thou shalt lyue. ⁵ Get the wysdome: and get the vnderstanding: forget not the wordes of my mouth, and shrynke not from them. ⁶ Forsake her not and she shall preserue the: loue her, and she shall kepe the. ⁷ The chefe poynte of wysdome is, that thou be wyllynge to optayne wysedome: and before all thy goodes to gett the vnderstandynge. ⁸ Make moche of her and she shall promote the: Yee, yf thou embrace her, she shall brynge the vnto honoure. ⁹ She shall make the a gracyous heed, and garnysshe the with a crowne of glory. ¹⁰ Heare my sonne, and receaue my wordes and the yeares of thy lyfe shall be many. ¹¹ I haue shewed the, the waye of wysdome, and ledd the into the ryght pathes. ¹² So that yf thou goest therin, there shall no straytenes hynder the: and when thou runnest, thou shalte not fall. ¹³ Take fast holde of doctryne, and let her nott go: kepe her, for she is thy lyfe. ¹⁴ Come nott in the pathe of the vngodly: and walke nott in the waye of the wycked. ¹⁵ Abhorre it, and go not therin: departe asyde, and passe ouer by it. ¹⁶ For they cannot slepe, excepte they haue fyrst done some myschefe: nether take they anye reste, excepte they haue fyrst done some harme. ¹⁷ For they eate the breade of wyckednesse, and dryncke the wyne of robberye. ¹⁸ The pathe of the ryghtewes shyneth as the lyght, that is euer brighter and brighter vnto the perfect daye. ¹⁹ But the waye of the vngodly is as the darcknesse: they knowe nott where they fall. ²⁰ My sonne, marcke my wordes, and enclyne thyne eare vnto my sayinges. ²¹ Let them not departe from thyne eyes: but kepe them euen in the myddest of thyne herte. ²² For they are lyfe vnto all those that fynde them, and health vnto all theyr bodyes. ²³ Kepe thyne herte with all diligence, for there vpon hangeth lyfe. ²⁴ Put awaye from the a frowarde mouth, & let the lyppes of sclaunder be farre from the. ²⁵ Let thyne eyes beholde the thyng that is ryght, and let thyne eye lyddes loke strayght before the. ²⁶ Pondre the path of thy fete, and let all thy wayes be ordred a ryght. ²⁷ Turne not asyde, nether to the ryght hande net to the lefte, but witholde thy fote from euell.

¹⁹ but the lyuinge, yee, the lyuing a knowledge the, lyke as I do thys daye. The father telleth hys chyldren of thy faythfulnesse.

⁹ and thou shalt write them vpon the postes of thy house and vpon thy gates.

⁵ They shall feare the as long as the sonne and mone endureth, from one generacion to another.

²⁸ And I wyll make hym my fyrst borne, hyer then the kynges of the earth. ²⁹ My mercy wyll I kepe for hym for euermore, & my couenaunt shall stande fast wyth hym.

¹⁰ Heare my sonne, and receaue my wordes and the yeares of thy lyfe shall be many.

²⁰ There shall nether be chylde ner olde man, that haue not their full dayes. But when the chylde commeth to an hondreth yeare olde, it shall dye. And yf he that is an hundreth yeare of age do wronge, he shalbe cursed.

⁶ Blessed and holy is he, that hath parte in the first resurreccion. For on such shall the seconde deeth haue no power, but they shalbe the Prestes of God & of Christ, and shall raygne wyth hym a thousande yere.

²⁴ For this cause shall a man leaue hys father and hys mother, & shalbe ioyned with hys wyfe, and they shall become one flesh:

²⁰ Thou shalt feare the Lorde thy God, & hym (onely) shalt thou serue, to hym shalt thou cleue, and swere by hys nam

¹³ If you shall herken therfore vnto my commaundementes, whych I commaunde you thys daye, that ye loue the Lorde youre God & serue him wyth all youre herte, & wyth all youre soul

²⁰ that thou mayest loue the Lorde thy God, and be obedient to hys voyce, & cleaue vnto him. For he is thy lyfe, and the length of thy dayes, that thou mayst dwell vpon the erth whych the Lorde sware vnto thy fathers: Abraham, Isahac and Iacob, to geue them.

³⁷ Iesus sayd vnto hym: Thou shalt loue the Lord thy God wyth all thy herte, and wyth all thy soule, & wyth all thy mynde.

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

² For I am gelous ouer you wt godly gelousye: For I haue coupled you to one man, that ye shulde make your selues a chaste virgin vnto Christ. 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.

⁸ From hence forth ther is layde vp for me a crowne of ryghtewesnes, which the Lorde (that is a ryghteous iudge) shall geue me at that daye: not to me onely, but vnto all them also that loue his comminge.

² By this we knowe, that we loue the chyldren of God, when we loue God, and kepe his commaundementes. ³ For this is the loue of God, that We kepe his commaundementes, and his commaundementes are not greuous.

²⁷ I wyll sende my feare before the, and wyll trouble all the people whether thou shalt go. And I will make all thine enemyes turne theyr backes vnto the, ²⁸ and I wyll sende hornettes before the, which shall dryue out the Heuites, the Cananites, and the Hethites before the. ²⁹ Neuertheles I wyll not cast them oute in one yere, lest the lande growe to a wyldernesse: and the beastes of the felde multiplie agaynst the. ³⁰ By lytle and lytle I will dryue them oute before the, vntyll thou be increased, & enheret the lande.

¹¹ kepe those thinges that I commaunde the thys daye. Behold, I cast out before the the Amorites, Canaanites, Hethites, Pherezites, Heuytes and Iebusites.

³⁸ to thrust out nacyons great & myghtyer then thou, before the, and to brynge the in, & to geue the their lande to enheritaunce: as it is come to passe thys daye.

¹ When the Lord thy God hath brought the into the lande whyther thou goest to possesse it, & hath cast out many nacions before the: namely, the Hethites, the Gergesites, the Amorites, the Cananites, the Pheresites, the Heuites & the Iebusites, seuen nacyons greater, and myghtier than tho ² and when the Lorde thy God hath sett them before the, thou shalt smyte them, & vtterly destroye them, and make no couenaunt with them, nor haue compassyon on them. Thou shalt make no mariages with them,

²² For the Lorde thy God wyll put out these nacyons before the by a lytle & a lytle thou mayst not consume them at once, lest the beastes of the felde encrease vpon the. ²³ But the Lorde thy God shall geue them ouer before the, and shall destroye them with a myghtie tempest, vntill he haue brought them to naught.

¹ Heare O Israel, thou passest ouer Iordan thys daye, to go in, and conquere nacyons greate & myghtier then thy selfe: cyties greate and walled vp to heauen,

¹⁸ In that same daye the Lorde made a couenaunte wt Abram sayinge: vnto thy seed haue I geuen thys lande, from the ryuer of Egypt, euen vnto the great ryuer the ryuer of Euphrates, ¹⁹ the kenytes, the kenyzites, and the Cadmonites, ²⁰ the Hethites, and the Pherezites, and the gyauntes, ²¹ the Amorytes also, & the Canaanites, the Gergesytes and the Iebusytes.

³¹ And I wyll make thy costes from the redd see vnto the see of the Philistines, and from the deserte vnto the ryuer. For I wyll delyuer the inhabyters of the lande into thyne hande, and thou shalt dryue them oute before the.

³ And your southquarter shalbe from the wildernes Sin alonge by the coaste of Edom, so that youre southquarter reache vpon the syde of the salt see east warde: ⁴ & fet a compasse from the south vp to Acrahim: and recahe to Zinna. And go out from the south to Cades Barne, & go out also to Hazar Adar, and go alonge to Azmon: ⁵ and fet a compasse agayn from Azmon vnto the ryuer of Egipte, and shall go out at the see. ⁶ And let youre westquarter be the greate see: let the same see be your westcoaste. ⁷ And thys shalbe youre northquarter: ye shall compasse youre border from the greate see vnto mount Hor. ⁸ And from mount Hor, ye shall describe youre border, tyll it come vnto Hemath, and the ende of the coaste shalbe at Zedada, ⁹ and the coaste shall reache out to Ziphron, and go oute at Hazar Enan. Thys shalbe your northquarter. ¹⁰ And ye shall compasse your eastquarter from Hazarenan to Sepham. ¹¹ And the coast shall go downe from Sepham to Ribla on the east syde of Ain. And the same border shall descende and go out at the syde of the see of Cenereth eastwarde. ¹² And then go downe alonge by Iordane, & leaue at the salt see. And thys shalbe your lande with the coastes therof rounde aboute. ¹³ And Moses commaunded the chyldren of Israel sayenge: thys is the lande whyche ye shall enherit by lot, and which the Lorde commaunded to geue vnto nyne trybes and an halfe: ¹⁴ for the tribe of the children of Ruben accordyng to the housholdes of theyr fathers, and the trybe of the chyldren of Gad accordyng to theyr fathers housholdes, and halfe the trybe of Manasse, haue receaued theyr enheritaunce. ¹⁵ Two trybes and an halfe haue receaued their enheritaunce on the other syde of Iordan, oueragaynst Iericho eastwarde.

³ All the places that the sooles of youre fete shall treade vpon, haue I geuen you, as I sayde vnto Moses: ⁴ from the wildernes & this Libanon vnto the greate ryuer Euphrates: all the lande of the Hethites, euen vnto the great see towarde the going downe of the sonne, shalbe youre coaste.

⁹ And Moses sware the same daye, saying: the lande wheron thy fete haue troaden, shalbe thyne enheritaunce and thy chyldrens for euer, because thou hast folowed the Lorde God.

²¹ And Salomon raygned ouer all kyngdoms, from the ryuer vnto the lande of the Philistines: euen vnto the border of Egypt, and they brought presentes, and serued Salomon all the dayes of hys lyfe.

²⁴ For he ruled in all the region on the other side Euphrates, from Thiphsah to Aza; ouer all the kynges on the other syde the ryuer. And he had peace with all hys seruauntes on euery syde.

²⁶ And he raygned ouer all the kynges that were from Euphrates vnto the lande of the Philistines, and to the border of Egipt.

²⁷ I wyll sende my feare before the, and wyll trouble all the people whether thou shalt go. And I will make all thine enemyes turne theyr backes vnto the,

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

²⁴ And he shall delyuer theyr kynges in to thyne hande, and thou shalt destroye their name from vnder heauen. There shall no man be able to stande before the, vntyll thou haue destroyed them.

⁵ There shall not a man be able to withstande that all the dayes of thy lyfe. For as I was with Moses, so will I be with the and will not fayll the, nor forsake the.

⁹ & sayde vnto the men: I knowe, that the Lorde hathe geuen you the lande for the feare of you is fallen vpon vs, & the enhabiters of the land faynt at the presence of you.

¹ And it fortuned that when all the kinges of the Amorites which are beyond Iordan west warde, & all the kinges of the Cananites which were by the see, hearde, how the Lorde had dryed vp the waters of Iordan before the children of Israel, vntill they wer gone ouer theyr hertes fainted for feare. And ther was no sprete in them any moare, for the presence of the children of Israel.

¹ When all these wordes are come vpon the, the blessynge and the curse which I haue set before the, thou shalt turne vnto thine hert, amonge all the nacyons whether the Lorde thy God hath thruste the,

¹⁵ Beholde I haue set before the this daye lyfe and good, death and euell:

¹⁰ For as many as are of the dedes of the lawe, are subiecte to the curse. For it is written: cursed be euery one that contynueth not in all thinges which are written in the boke of the lawe to fulfyll them.

¹³ Christ hath deliuered vs from the curse of the lawe, in as moche as he was made accursed for vs: For it is written: cursed is euery one, that hangeth on tree, ¹⁴ that the blessynge of Abraham myght come on the Gentyls thorowe Iesus Christ, that we myght receaue the promes of the sprete thorowe fayth.

³ If ye walke in myne ordinaunces and kepe my commaundementes, and do them, ⁴ I wyll sende you rayne in the ryght ceason and the lande shall yelde her encrease, and the trees of the felde shall geue theyr frute. ⁵ And the thresshynge shall reach vnto wyne haruest, and the wyneharuest shall reach vnto sowynge tyme, and ye shall eate your bread in plenteousnes, and dwell in youre lande peasably. ⁶ And I wyll sende peace in the lande, & ye shall slepe without any man to make you a frayde. And I wyll rydd euell beastes out of the lande, and there shall no swerde goo thorow out youre lande. ⁷ And ye shall chase youre enemyes, and they shall fall before you vpon the swerde. ⁸ And fyue of you shall chace an hundred, & an hundred of you shall put ten thousande to flyghte, and youre enemyes shall fall before you vpon the swerde. ⁹ For I will haue respect vnto you, and make you encrease and multiplye you, and sett vp my couenaunt with you. ¹⁰ And ye shall eate olde stoare, and carye out olde for the newe. ¹¹ And I wyll make my dwellynge place amonge you, & my soule shall not lothe you. ¹² I wyll walke amonge you, and wylbe youre God, and ye shalbe my people. ¹³ I am the Lorde youre God, whyche broughte you out of the lande of Egypte, that ye shulde not be theyr bondemen, and I haue broken the cheynes of your yoke, and made you go vp ryghte.

¹ If thou shalt herken diligently vnto the voyce of the Lorde thy God, and obserue and do all hys commaundementes, whych I commaunde the thys daye, The Lorde wyll set the on hye aboue all nacyons of the erth. ² And all these blessinges shall come on the, and ouertake the, yf thou shalt herken vnto the voyce of the Lord thy God. ³ Blessed shalt then be in the towne, and blessed in the feldes: ⁴ blessed shalbe the frute of thy body, and the frute of thy grounde, and the frute of thy cattell, the frute of thyne oxen, & the flockes of thy shepe: ⁵ blessed shall be thy basket and thy store. ⁶ Blessed shalt thou be, when thou goest out, and blessed when thou comest in. ⁷ The Lorde shall geue ouer thyne enemyes that ryse agaynst the, that they maye fall before thy face. They shall come out agaynst the one waye, and flee before the seuen wayes. ⁸ The Lorde shall put the blessynge vpon the in thy store houses, & in all that thou settest thyne hande to, & will blesse the in the lande which the Lorde thy God geueth the. ⁹ The Lorde shall make the an holye people vnto hym selfe, as he hath sworen vnto the: yf thou shalt kepe the commaundementes of the Lorde thy God, and walke in hys wayes. ¹⁰ And all nacyons of the erth shall se, that the name of the Lorde, is called vpon ouer the, and they shalbe aferde of the. ¹¹ And the Lorde shall make the plenteous in goodes, in the frute of thy body, in the frute of thy catell, and in the frute of thy grounde, in the lande whych the Lorde sware vnto thy fathers, to geue the. ¹² The Lorde shall open vnto the his good treasure, euen the heauen to geue rayne vnto thy lande in due ceason, and to blesse all the laboures of thyne hande. And thou shalt lende vnto many nacyons, but shalt not borowe thy selfe. ¹³ And the Lord shall set the before and not behynde, & thou shalt be aboue only, and not beneth: yf that thou herken vnto the commaundementes of the Lorde thy God, which I commaunde the thys daye, to kepe and to do them. ¹⁴ And se that thou bowe not asyde from any of these wordes, which I commaunde the thys daye, ether to the ryght hande or to the lefte, that thou woldest goo after straunge goddes to serue them.

¹¹ Moreouer, by them is thy seruaunt taught, & in kepynge of them there is greate rewarde.

¹⁹ If ye be louynge & obedient, ye shal enioye the best thyng that groweth in the land.

¹⁰ Byd the ryghteous do well, for they shall enioye the frutes of theyr studies.

³ Blessed are the poore in sprete, for theyrs is the kyngdome of heauen. ⁴ Blessed are they that mourne, for they shall receaue comfort. ⁵ Blessed are the meke: for they shall receaue the enheritaunce of the earth. ⁶ Blessed are they which honger and thyrst after ryghteousnes: for they shalbe satisfyed. ⁷ Blessed are the mercyful: for they shall obteyne mercy. ⁸ Blessed are the pure in herte: for they shall se God. ⁹ Blessed are the peace makers: for they shalbe called the children of God. ¹⁰ Blessed are they which suffre persecucyon for righteousnes sake: for theirs is the kingdome of heauen. ¹¹ Blessed are ye, when men reuyle you, and persecute you, and shall falesy say all maner of euyll sayinge against you, for my sake. ¹² Reioyse & be glad for greate is your rewarde in heuen. For so persecuted they the prophetes, which were before you.

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

²⁸ But he sayde: Yee, happy are they that heare the worde of God and kepe it.

¹⁷ If ye vnderstande these thinges happy are ye, yf ye do them.

²¹ He that hath my commaundementes, and kepeth them: the same is he that loueth me. And he that loueth me, shalbe loued of my father: and I wyll loue hym, and wyll shewe myne awne selfe to him. ²² Iudas sayth vnto hym: (not Iudas Iscarioth) Lorde, what is done that thou wylt shewe thy selfe vnto vs, and not vnto the world? ²³ Iesus answered & sayd: vnto them: yf a man loue me, he will kepe my sayinges, and my father wyll loue hym, and we wyll come vnto hym, and dwell wt hym.

⁷ that is to saye, prayse, honoure and immortalite, to them whych contynue in good doyng; and seke immortalite.

²⁵ But who so loketh in the parfayt lawe of libertye, and contynueth therin (yf he be not a forget full hearer, but a doar of the worke) the same shalbe happye in his dede.

¹⁴ Blessed are they that do his commaundementes, that theyr power maye be in the tree of lyfe, and maye entre in thorow the gates into the cytie.

¹⁴ But and yf ye wyll not harken vnto me, nor wyll do all these my commaundementes: ¹⁵ And yf ye shall despise myne ordinaunces, ether yf youre soule abhorre my lawes, so that ye wyll not do all my commaundementes, but breake myne appoyntment, ¹⁶ I also will do thys vnto you. For I will bring vpon you fearfulnesse, swellynge of body, and the burnynge agewe, to consume youre eyes, & gendre sorowe of hert. And ye shall sowe youre seed in vayne, for youre enemyes shall eate it, ¹⁷ And I wyll set my face agenste you, and ye shall fall before youre enemyes, & they that hate you, shall raygne ouer you and ye shall flee, when no man foloweth you. ¹⁸ And yf ye will not yet for all this herken vnto me, then will I punysh you seuen tymes more for youre synnes, ¹⁹ and wyll breake the pryde of youre stubburnesse. And I wyll make youre heauen as yron, and youre erth as brasse. ²⁰ And youre laboure shalbe spent in vayne. For youre lande shall not geue hyr encrease, nether shall the trees of the lande geue theyr frutes. ²¹ And yf ye walke contrary vnto me, and wyll not herken vnto me, I wyll brynge seuen tymes moo plages vpon you, accordinge to youre synnes. ²² I will also sende in wilde beastes vpon you, which shall robbe you of youre children, and destroye youre catell, and make you fewe in nombre, and cause youre hye wayes to growe vnto a wyldernesse. ²³ And yf ye maye not be refourmed by these thynges but shall walke contrarye vnto me, ²⁴ then wyll I also walke contrarye vnto you, and wyll punish you yet seuen tymes for youre synnes. ²⁵ And I wyll sende a swerde vpon you, that shall auenge my testament And when ye are gathered together wythin youre cyties, I wyll sende the pestilence amonge you, and ye shalbe delyuered into the hande of the enemye. ²⁶ And when I haue broken the staffe of youre bread: ten wyues shall bake youre bread in one ouen, and they shall delyuer you youre bread agayne by weyght ye shall eate, and not be satisfyed. ²⁷ And yf ye wyll not yet for all thys herken vnto me, but shall walke agaynst me, ²⁸ I will walke contrarye vnto you also in indignacyon, and wyll chastice you seuen tymes for youre synnes. ²⁹ And ye shall eate the flesh of youre sonnes and the fleshe of youre daughters shall ye deuoure. ³⁰ I wyll destroye youre hye places, and roote out youre ymages, and cast youre carkasses vpon the bodyes of youre ydolles, and my soule shall abhorre you. ³¹ And I wyll make your cyties desolate, and brynge youre sanctuarye vnto nought, and wyll not smell the swetnesse of youre odoures. ³² I wyll brynge the lande vnto a wyldernesse, and youre enemyes which dwell therin, shall wondre at it.

¹⁵ But and yf thou wylt not herken vnto the voyce of the Lorde thy God, to kepe & to do all hys commaundementes and his ordinaunces, which I commaunde the this daye: all these curses shall come vpon the, and ouertake the: ¹⁶ Cursed shalt thou be in the towne, and cursed in the felde: ¹⁷ cursed shall thy baskett be, & thy store. ¹⁸ Cursed shall be the frute of thy body, and the frute of thy lande, and the frute of thyne oxen, and the flockes of thy shepe. ¹⁹ Cursed shalt thou be when thou goest in, and cursed when thou goest out. ²⁰ The Lorde shall sende vpon the, cursynge, destruccyon, and rebuke in all that thou settest thyne hande to, and that thou doest: vntyll he destroye the, and brynge the to nought quyckely, because of the wyckednesse of thyne inuencyons, and because thou hast forsaken me. ²¹ The Lorde shall make the pestilence cleaue vnto the, vntyll he haue consumed the from of the lande, whether thou goest to enioye it. ²² The Lorde shall smyte the with swellynge, wyth feuers, heet, burnynge, and wyth the swerde, with wetherynge, and with blastynge. And they shall folowe the vntyll thou peryshe. ²³ And the heauen that is ouer thy head shalbe brasse, and the erthe that is vnder the, yron. ²⁴ The Lorde shall turne the rayne of the lande vnto powder and dust: euen from heauen shall they come doune vpon the, vntyll thou be brought to nought. ²⁵ And the Lorde shall plage the before thyne enemyes: Thou shalt come out one waye agaynst them, and flee seuen wayes before them, and shall be scatered amonge all the kyngdomes of the erthe. ²⁶ And thy carkesse shalbe meate vnto all maner foules of the ayre, and vnto the beastes of the erthe, and no man shall fraye them awaye. ²⁷ The Lord wyll smyte the wt the botche of Egypte, and the emarodes, scalle, & mangenesse, that thou mayest not be healed therof. ²⁸ And the Lord shall smyte the with madnesse, and blyndnesse and dasynge of herte. ²⁹ Thou shalt grope at noone dayes, as the blinde gropeth in darkenesse, and shalt not prosper in thy wayes. Thou shalt be oppressed wyth wronge, and be polled euermore, & no man shall sucker the. ³⁰ Thou shalt be betrowthed vnto a wyfe, and another man shall lye wyth her. Thou shalt buylde an house, and not dwell therin. Thou shalt also plante a vyneyarde, and shalt not gather the grapes. ³¹ Thyne oxe shalbe slayne before thyne eyes, and thou shalt not eate therof. Thyne asse shalbe violently taken a waye euen before thy face, and shall not be restored to the agayne. Thy shepe shalbe geuen vnto thine enemyes, and no man shall rescue them. ³² Thy sonnes and thy daughters shall be geuen vnto another nacyon, and thyne eyes shall se it, & dase vpon them all the daye longe, and there shalbe no myghte in thyne hande. ³³ The frute of thy lande and all thy laboures shall a nacion whych thou knowest not, eate, & thou shalt continually suffre violence onely, and be oppressed alwaye: ³⁴ so that thou shalt be cleane besyde thy selfe, for the syghte of thyne eyes whych thou shalt se: ³⁵ The Lorde shall smyte the in the knees and legges, wyth a myscheuous botche that can not be healed: euen from the sole of thy fote vnto the toppe of thy head. ³⁶ The Lorde shall brynge the and thy kynge (which thou shalt set ouer the) vnto a nacyon, which nether thou nor thy fathers haue knowne, that there thou mayest serue straunge Goddes: euen wodd and stone. ³⁷ And thou shalt be wondred at, spoken of, & iested at amonge all nacyons, whether the Lorde shall carye the. ³⁸ Thou shalt carye moche seed out in to the felde, and shalt gether but lytle in: for the greshoppers shall destroye it. ³⁹ Thou shalt plante a vyneyarde and dresse it, but shalt nether dryncke of the wyne, nether gether the grapes, for the wormes shall eate it. ⁴⁰ Thou shalt haue oliue trees thorowe out all thy coastes, but shalt not anoynte thy selfe wyth the oyle, for thyne olyue trees shalbe roted out. ⁴¹ Thou shalt beget sonnes, and daughters, but shalt not haue them: for they shalbe caryed a waye captyue. ⁴² All thy trees and frute of thy lande shalbe marred wyth blastynge. ⁴³ The straunger that is amonge you, shall clyme aboue the vp on hye, and thou shalt come doune beneth alowe. ⁴⁴ He shall lende the, & thou shalt not lende hym: he shalbe before, & thou behynde. ⁴⁵ Moreouer, all these curses shall come vpon the, and shall folowe the and ouertake the, tyll thou be destroyed: because thou herkenedst not vnto the voyce of the Lorde thy God, to kepe hys commaundementes, and hys ordinaunces, whych he commaunded the, ⁴⁶ and they shalbe vpon the as myracles and wonders, and vpon thy seed for euer, ⁴⁷ because thou seruedst not the Lorde thy God wyth ioyfulnesse and wyth a good herte, whan thou haddest aboundaunce of all thynges, ⁴⁸ therfore thou shalt serue thyne enemye, whych the Lorde shall sende vpon the in hunger and thyrst, in nakednesse, and in nede of all thynge: and he shall put a yocke of yron vpon thy necke, vntyll he haue broughte the to nought. ⁴⁹ And the Lord shall brynge a nacyon vpon the from a farre, and from the ende of the worlde, as swifte as an egle flyeth: a nacyon whose tonge thou shalt not vnderstande: ⁵⁰ a harde fauoured nacyon, whych shall not regarde the person of the olde, nor haue compassyon on the younge. ⁵¹ The same shall eate the frute of thy catell, and the frute of thy londe, vntyll he haue destroyed the: and shall leaue the nether corne, wyne, nor oyle, nether the encrease of thyne oxen, nor the flockes of thy shepe: vntyll he haue brought the to nought. ⁵² And he shall kepe the in, in all thy cyties, vntyll he haue cast downe thy hye walles and stronge holdes, wherin thou trustedst, thorowe out all the lande. And he shall besege the in all thy cyties thorowe out all thy lande, whych the Lorde thy God hath geuen the. ⁵³ And thou shalt eate the frute of thyne awne bodye: the fleshe of thy sonnes, and of thy daughters, whych the Lorde thy God hath geuen the, in that straytenesse and sege, wherwith thyne enemye shall besege the: ⁵⁴ so that it shall greue the man (that is tender & exceadynge delycate amonge you,) to loke on hys brother and vpon hys wyfe that lyeth in hys bosome, and on the remnaunte of hys chyldren, whych he hath yet lefte: ⁵⁵ for feare of geuynge (vnto anye of them) of the fleshe of hys chyldren, whom he shall eate, because he hath nothynge left hym in that straytenesse & sege, wherwith thyne enemye shall besege the in all thy cyties. ⁵⁶ Yee and the woman that is so tender and delycate, that she dare not aduenture to set the sole of her foote vpon the grounde, (for softnesse and tendernesse) shalbe greued to loke on her husbande that lyeth in her bosome, & on her sonne and on her daughter: ⁵⁷ and on hyr after byrthe (that is come out from betwene her legges,) and her chyldren whych she shall beare: For whan all thynges lack, she shall eat them secretly, in the sege & straytenesse, wherwith thyne enemye shall besege the in thy cyties. ⁵⁸ If thou wylt not kepe and do all the wordes of thys lawe (that are wrytten in thys boke,) and feare thys gloryous and fearfull name of the Lorde thy God: ⁵⁹ the Lorde will sende vnto the and thy seed, greate plages and of longe continuaunce, ⁶⁰ euell sycknesses and of longe duraunce. Moreouer he will bringe vpon the all the diseases of Egypte, and those whych thou wast afrayed of shall cleaue vnto the. ⁶¹ And all maner syckenesses, and all maner plages whych are not wrytten in the boke of thys lawe, wyll the Lorde brynge vpon the, vntyll he bringe the to noughte. ⁶² And ye shalbe lefte fewe in nombre, where before ye were as the starres of heauen in multytude: because thou woldest not herken vnto the voyce of the Lorde thy God. ⁶³ And it shall come to passe, that as the Lord reioysed ouer you, to do you good, & to multiplye you: euen so he wyll reioyse ouer you, to destroye you, & to brynge you to nought. And ye shalbe wasted from of the land, whether thou goest to enioye it. ⁶⁴ And the Lorde shall scater the amonge all nacions, from the one ende of the worlde vnto the other, and there thou shalt serue straunge goddes, whych thou nor thy fathers haue knowne: euen wodd and stone. ⁶⁵ And amonge these nacyons thou shalt fynde no ease, neyther shall the sole of thy foote haue rest. But the Lorde shall geue the there an vnquyet herte, and dasyng eyes, and sorowe of mynde. ⁶⁶ And thy lyfe shall hange before the and thou shalt feare both daye, and nyghte, & shalt haue no trust in thy lyfe. ⁶⁷ In the mornynge thou shalt saye, wolde God it were nyght. And at nyght thou shalt saye: wolde God it were mornynge: for feare, of thyne harte whych thou shall feare & for the syghte of thyne eyes, whych thou shalt se. ⁶⁸ And the Lorde shall brynge the into Egipt agayne wyth shyppes, by the waye which I bad the, that thou shuldest se it no moare. And there ye shalbe solde vnto youre enemies, for bondmen and bondwemen: & no man shall bye you.

¹⁹ so that when he heareth the wordes of thys ooth, he blesse hym selfe in hys hert, sayinge. I shall haue peace. I wyll walke in the meanynge of myne owne hert, (Thou put the dronken to the thyrstye.) ²⁰ And so the Lorde wyll not consent to be mercyfull vnto hym, but then the wrath of the Lorde and hys gelousye shall smoke agaynst that man, & all the curses that are wryten in this boke shall lyght vpon hym, and the Lorde shall do out hys name from vnder heauen, ²¹ and the Lorde shall separate him vnto euell out of all the tribes of Israel, accordyng vnto all the curses of the appoyntment, that are wrytten in the boke of thys lawe. ²² So that the generacyon to come of youre chyldren, that shall ryse vp after you, and the straunger that shall come from a farre lande shall saye, when they se the plages of that lande, and the diseases wherwith the Lorde hath smytten it, ²³ howe all the lande is burnt vp with brymstone & salt, & that it is nether sowen nor beareth, nor any grasse groweth therin, lyke as in the place of the ouerthrowynge of Sodome, Gomor, Adama, & Zeboim: whych the Lorde ouerthrewe in hys wrath and angre: ²⁴ Euen then shall all nacions saye: wherfore hath the Lorde done of this facyon vnto thys lande? O howe fearse is thys great wrath? ²⁵ And men shalt saye: because they lefte the testament of the Lorde God of theyr fathers whych he made with them, when he brought them out of the lande of Egypt. ²⁶ For they went, and serued straunge goddes, & worshipped them: Goddes whych they knewe not, and whych had geuen them nought. ²⁷ And the wrath of the Lorde waxed whote agaynst thys lande, to brynge vpon it all the curses that are written in this boke. ²⁸ And the Lorde cast them out of theyr lande in angre, wrath, and greate indignacyon, and cast them into a straunge lande, as this daye beareth wytnesse.

²⁰ But yf ye be obstinate & rebellyous, ye shalbe deuoured wt the swerde: for thus the Lorde hath promised wt his awne mouth.

¹¹ But wo be to the vngodly and vnryghteous, for they shalbe rewarded after theyr worckes.

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

⁸ But vnto them that are rebelles, and that do not obey the trueth, but folowe vnryghteousnes, shall come indignacyon and wrath, ⁹ tribulacyon and anguysshe vpon the soule of euery man that doth euyll: of the Iewe fyrst, and also of the Gentyle.

¹² These shall stande vpon mount Garizim to blesse the people, when ye are come ouer Iordan: Symeon, Leui, Iuda, Isachar, Ioseph, and Ben Iamin. ¹³ And these shall stande vpon mount Eball to curse: Ruben, Gad, Aser, Zabulon, Dan Nephthali. ¹⁴ And the Leuites shall answere and saye vnto all the men of Israel wyth a loude voyce. ¹⁵ Cursed be the man that maketh any carued or molten ymage (an abhominacyon vnto the Lorde, the worke of the handes of the craftesman) and putteth it in a secret place: and all the people shall answere and saye Amen. ¹⁶ Cursed be he that curseth hys father, & hys mother, and all the people shall saye Amen. ¹⁷ Cursed be he that remoueth his neyghbours marke, & all the people shall saye Amen. ¹⁸ Cursed he be that maketh the blynde go out of his waye, & all the people shall saye Amen. ¹⁹ Cursed be he that hyndreth the ryght of the straunger, fatherlesse and wedowe, and all the people shall saye Amen. ²⁰ Cursed be he that lyeth wyth hys fathers wyfe and vnhealeth his fathers couerynge, and all the people shall saye, Amen. ²¹ Cursed be he that lyeth with any maner of beast, & all the people shall saye, Amen. ²² Cursed be he that lyeth with hys syster the daughter of hys father, or the daughter of his mother, & all the people shall saye, Amen. ²³ Cursed be he, that lyeth with hys mother in lawe, and all the people shall saye, Amen. ²⁴ Cursed be he that smyteth his neyghboure secretly, and all the people shall saye, Amen. ²⁵ Cursed be he that taketh a rewarde to slaye the soule of innocent bloude, and all the people shall saye, Amen. ²⁶ Cursed be he that contynueth not in all the wordes of thys lawe to do them, and all the people shall saye, Amen.

³⁰ Then Iosua bylt an altare vnto the Lorde God of Israell, in mount Eball, ³¹ as Moses the seruaunt of the Lorde commaunded the children of Israell, and as it is written in the boke of the lawe of Moses: an altare of whole stones, ouer which noman hath lyft any tole of yron. And they sacrifyced theron burnt sacrifyces vnto the Lorde, and offered peace offrynges. ³² And he wrote there vpon the stones, a rehearsall of the lawe of Moses, and wrote it in the presence of the chyldren of Israell. ³³ And all Israell and the elders therof, and their officiers & Iudges stode, parte on this syde the arcke, & parte on that syde, before the Preastes, that were Leuites, which bare the arcke of the apoyntement of the Lorde: as well the straunger, as they that were borne amonge them: halfe on them on the forefronte of the mounte Garizim, and halfe of them on the forefronte of mount Eball: as Moses the seruaunt of the Lorde had commaunded before, that they shulde blesse the people Israell. ³⁴ Afterward he red all the wordes of the lawe, the blessinges and cursynges, according to all that is wrytten in the boke of the lawe: ³⁵ And there was not one worde of all that Moses commaunded, which Iosua read not before all the congregacyon of Israell: The wemen and chyldren, (and the straungers that were come) stondyng amonge them.

⁶ and in to the londe of Chanaan they came. Abram passed thorowe the londe vnto the place of Sichem, & vnto the playne of Moreh: And the Cananite was then in the londe.

¹⁹ And the people came vp out of Iordan the tenth daye of the fyrst moneth, and pitched in Gilgal, euen in the east border of the cyte Iericho.

⁹ And the Lorde sayde vnto Iosua: this daye I haue taken awaye the shame of Egipte from you: wherfore the name of the same place is called Gilgal vnto this daye.

¹ Then Ierobaall (otherwyse called Gedeon) and all the people that were wyth hym, rose vp early, and pytched besyde the well of Harad, so that the hoste of the Madianites were on the northsyde of the rock that boweth towarde the valley.

¹¹ Goo thorowe the myddes of the hoste, & comaunde the people, saying: prepare you vitayles: for after thre dayes ye shall passe ouer this Iordan, to goo in & enioye the lande which the Lord youre God geueth you, to possesse it.

¹³ And as sone as the sooles of the fete of the preasts (that beare the arcke of the Lord the Gouernour of all the world) tread in the waters of Iordan, the waters of Iordan shall be deuided: & the waters that come from aboue, shall stande still vpon an heape. ¹⁴ And it fortuned, that when the people were departed from their tentes to goo ouer Iordan, the preastes bearyng the arcke of the appointment, went before the people. ¹⁵ And as sone as they that bare the arcke came vnto Iordan, & the fete of the preastes that bare the arcke were dipped in the brym of the water (For Iordan vseth to fill all hys banckes all the tyme of haruest) ¹⁶ the waters also that came downe from aboue, did ryse vp vpon an heape and departed farre from Adam, that was besyde Zarthan, And the waters that were beneth to ward the see of the wildernes, fell awaye & departed into the salt see, and the people went ryght ouer agaynst Iericho, ¹⁷ And the preastes that bare the arcke of the appointement of the Lorde, stoode drye within Iordane ready prepared, & all the Israelites went ouer thorow the drye, vntill all the people were gone cleane ouer thorow Iordan,

³² Take hede therfore, that ye do in dede as the Lorde youre God hath commaunded you, & turne not asyde: ether to the ryghte hande or to the lefte: ³³ but walke in all the wayes which the Lorde youre God hath commaunded you, that ye maye lyue, and that it maye go well with you, and that ye maye prolonge youre dayes, in the lande which ye shall possesse.

³² Therfore whatsoeuer I commaunde you, that take hede ye do and put thou nought therto, nor take ought therfrom.

⁶ So shall I not be confounded, whyle I haue respecte vnto al thy commaundementes.

²¹ Not euery one that sayth vnto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kyngdome of heauen: but he that doth the wyll of my father, which is in heauen. ²² Many wyll saye to me in that daye: Lord, Lorde, haue we not prophecyed thorow thy name? And thorow thy name haue cast out deuyls? And done many miraracles thorow thy name? ²³ And then wyll I knowledge vnto them. I neuer knewe you. Departe fro me, ye that worcke iniquyte. 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. ²⁶ And euery one that heareth of me these wordes, and doth them not shalbe likened vnto a folysh man, which built his house vpon sande: ²⁷ and a shower of rayne descended, and the floudes came, and the wyndes blew, and bet vpon that house, and it fell, and greate was the fall of it.

²⁰ Teachinge them to obserue all thinges, whatsoeuer I haue commaunded you. And lo I am wyth you allwaye, euen vntyll the ende of the worlde.

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.

¹⁴ Ye are my frendes, yf ye do whatsoeuer I commaunde you.

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. ² For ye knowe, what commaundementes we gaue you by oure Lorde Iesu Christ.
