⁶ For thou art an holy nacyon vnto the Lorde thy God the Lorde thy God hath chosen the, to be a seuerall people vnto hym selfe, aboue all nacyons that are vpon the erth. ⁷ It was not because of the multitude of you aboue all nacyons, that the Lorde had lust vnto you and chose you, seynge ye were fewest of all nacyons.

⁴ For why? the Lorde hath chosen Iacob vnto hym selfe, & Israel for hys awne possessyon.

⁸ But thou Israel art my seruaunte: thou Iacob art electe, thou art the sede of Abraham my beloued ⁹ thou art he whom I led from the endes of the earth by the hande. For I called the from farre euen from among the gloriouse men of it, & sayd vnto the. Thou art my seruaunt. I haue chosen the, and not cast the awaye:

¹ Beholde, this is my seruaunte vpon whom I leane, myne electe, In whom my soule is pacifyed. I haue geuen hym my sprete, that he maye shewe forth iudgement and equitye among the Gentiles.

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.

⁷⁴ for to geue vs. That we deliuered oute of the handes of oure enemies, might serue him with out feare, ⁷⁵ all the dayes of oure lyfe, in such holynes and rightewesnes as are accept before him

¹⁶ & other shepe I haue, which are not of thys fold. Them also must I bring, and they shall heare my voyce, and ther shalbe one fold and one shephearde.

¹⁶ Ye haue not chosen me, but I haue chosen you, and ordeyned you, to goo, and brynge forth frute, and that your frute shuld remayne, that whatsoeuer ye aske of the father in my name, he maye geue it you.

²⁴ Father, I will that they which thou hast geuen me be with me where I am, that they maye se my glory, which thou hast geuen me. For thou louedest me before the makyng of the worlde.

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

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

¹⁰ for I am with the, & noman shall inuade the that shall hurte the. For I haue moch people in this cytie.

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

³³ Who shall laye eny thynge to the charge of Goddes chosen; it is God that iustyfyeth:

²³ and to declare the ryches of hys glory on the vessels of mercye, which he had prepared vnto glorye: ²⁴ whom also he called, not of the Iewes onely, but also of the gentyls.

⁵ Euen so also at thys tyme is ther a remanaunt lefte accordynge to the eleccyon of grace. ⁶ If it be of grace, then is it not now of workes. For then grace is nomore grace. But If it be of workes, then is it now no grace. For then were deseruynge nomore deseruynge.

⁸ which shall also strenght you vnto the ende, that ye maye be blamelesse in the daye of oure Lorde Iesus Christ.

⁶ For in Iesu Christ, nether is circumcisyon any thynge worth, nether yet vncircumcysion but faith which worketh by loue.

¹³ Brethren, ye were called into libertye: only let not youre libertye be an occasion vnto the flesshe: but by loue serue one another.

²² Contrarely, the frute of the sprete is, loue, ioye, peace, longe sufferinge, gentylnes, goodnes, faythfulnes,

¹⁰ For we are his worckmanshyppe, created in Chryst Iesu vnto good workes, whiche God ordeyned, that we shulde walke in them.

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

² with all lowlynes and mekenesse, with humblenes of mynde, forbearynge one another thorowe loue,

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.

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 to make it vnto him selfe a gloryous congregacyon, without spot or wrynckle, or eny soche thynge: but that it shulde be holy, and without blame.

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

²² in the body of hys flesshe thorowe deeth, to make you holy, and vnblameable, & without faut in hys awne syght,

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,

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

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,

⁷ For God hath not called vs vnto vnclennes but vnto holynes.

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

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

¹⁰ Therfore I suffre all thynges, for the electes sakes, that they myght also obtayne the saluacion, which is in Christ Iesu, with eternall glory.

¹⁹ But the sure grounde of God standeth still, and hath this seale: the Lorde knoweth them that are hys. And let euery man that calleth on the name of Christ, departe from iniquite.

¹ Paul the seruaunt of God, and apostle of Iesu Christ accordinge to the fayth of goddes electe, and accordynge to the knowledge of the trueth, which is after godlynes ² in the hope of eternall lyfe, which God (that cannot lye) promysed before the worlde beganne:

¹¹ For the grace of God, that bryngeth saluacyon vnto all men, hath appeared ¹² and teacheth vs that we shulde denye vngodlynes and worldy lustes, & that we shulde lyue soberly, and ryghteously, and godly in thys present worlde,

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

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

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

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

⁵ And herunto geue all diligence: in youre fayth mynyster vertue: in vertue knowledge: ⁶ in knowledge temperaunce, in temperaunce pacience: in pacience godlynes, ⁷ in godlynes brotherly kyndnes, in brotherly kyndnes loue. ⁸ For yf these thynges be amonge you, and be plenteous, thy wyll make you that ye nether shalbe ydle nor vnfrutefull in the knowledge of oure Lorde Iesus Christ. ⁹ But he that lacketh these thynges, is blynde and gropeth for the waye wyth his hande, and hath forgotten, that he was pourged from hys olde synnes. ¹⁰ Wherfore brethren, geue the more diligence for to make your calling & eleccyon sure For yf ye do soch thynges, ye shall neuer fall.

¹⁴ Wherfore dearly beloued, seynge that ye loke for such thinges, be diligent that ye maye be founde of hym in peace, wythout spotte and vndefyled.

¹⁶ And we haue knowen and beleued the loue that God hath to vs. God is loue, & he that dwelleth in loue, dwelleth in God, and God in him.

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.

⁸ The beast that thon seest, was, and is not, and shall ascende out of the bottomlesse pyt, and shall go into perdicion, & they that dwel on the erth shall wondre (whose names are not written in the boke of lyfe from the begynnynge of the worlde) when they behold the beast that was and is not.

⁴ Els woldest thou saye vnto me: O my father, thou art he that hast brought me vp, & led me fro my youth:

¹⁹ I haue shewed also, howe I toke the vp beynge but a childe & gaue the a pleasaunt lande for thyne herytage, yee, & a goodly Hoste of the Heathen, & howe I commaunded the, that thou shuldest call me father only, and not to shryncke fro me.

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

¹⁰ And though the nombre of the chyldren of Israel be as the sande of the see, whych can nether be measured ner tolde: yet in the place where it is sayde vnto them ye be not my people: euen there shall it be thus reported of them they be the chyldren of the lyuynge God.

⁵² and not for the people onely, but that he shuld gather together in one, the children of God, that were scatered abrode.

¹⁴ For as many as are led by the sprete of God, ¹⁵ they are the sonnes of God. For ye haue not receaued the sprete of bondage to feare eny mor are, but ye haue receaued the sprete of adopcyon, wherby we crye: Abba father. ¹⁶ The same sprete certyfyeth oure sprete that we are the sonnes of God. ¹⁷ If we be sonnes, then are we also heyres, the heyres I meane of God, & heyres anexed with Chryst yf so be that we suffer with hym, that we maye be also glorified together with hym.

²³ Not onely it, but we also which haue the fyrst frutes of the spryte, morne in oure selues also, and wayte for the adopcyon euen the delyueraunce of oure bodye.

¹¹ For yer the chyldren were borne, when they had nether done good nether bad (that the purpose of God by eleccyon, myght stande) it was sayde vnto her, not by the reason of workes, but by the caller: ¹² the elder shall serue the younger. ¹³ As it is wrytten: Iacob haue I loued, but Esau haue I hated. ¹⁴ What shall we saye then? is there eny vnrightewesnes with God? God forbyd. ¹⁵ For he sayth to Moses: I wyll shewe mercy to whomsoeuer I shewe mercy: and wyll haue compassyon, ¹⁶ on whomsoeuer I haue compassyon. So lyeth it not then in a mans wyll or runnynge, but in the mercye of God.

¹ Paul called an Apostle of Iesus Christ, thorowe the will of God, and brother Softenes.

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.

¹⁸ and wylbe a father vnto you, and ye shalbe my sonnes & daughters, sayth the Lorde allmyghty.

²⁶ For ye are all chyldren of God, because ye beleue in Christ Iesu.

⁵ to redeme them which were bonde vnto the lawe: that we (thorowe eleccion) might receaue the inheritaunce that belongeth vnto the naturall sonnes. ⁶ Because ye are sonnes, God hathe sent the sprete of hys sonne into oure hertes, cryinge: Abba father.

⁹ And hath opened vnto vs the mystery of hys wyll, accordynge to hys good pleasure, which he had purposed in hym selfe,

¹¹ euen by hym by whom we are made heyres, and were therto predestinate accordynge to the purpose of hym by whose power all thynges are wrought accordinge to the purpose of hys awne wyll:

¹³ For it is God, which worketh in you, both the wyll and also the dede, euen of good wyll.

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

¹⁰ For it became him, for whom are all thinges and by whom are all thynges (after that he had brought many sonnes vnto glory) that he shulde make the Lorde of their saluacyon perfecte thorowe affliccyons. ¹¹ For both he that sanctifyeth and they which are sanctyfyed, are all of one. For whych causes sake he is not a shamed to call them brethren, ¹² sayinge: I wyll declare thy name vnto my brethren, in the myddes of the congregacyon wyll I prayse the. ¹³ And agayne: I wyll put my trust in hym. And agayne: beholde, here am I and the chyldren whom God hath geuen me. 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, ¹⁵ and that he myght delyuer them, which thorowe feare of deeth were all there lyfe tyme subdued vnto bondage.

⁵ And haue forgotten the exhortacion, which speaketh vnto you as vnto children? my sonne, despyse not thou the chastening of the Lord, nether faynt, when thou art rebuked of hym: ⁶ for whom the Lorde loueth, hym he chasteneth: yee, he scourgeth euery sonne that he receaueth. ⁷ If ye endure chastening, God offereth him selfe vnto you as vnto sonnes. What sonne is he whom the father chasteneth not? ⁸ If ye be not vnder correccion (where of all are part takers) then are ye bastardes, and not sonnes. ⁹ Therfore seyng we haue had fathers of our flesshe which corrected vs, & we gaue them reuerence: shall we not moch rather be in subieccion vnto the father of spirites, & lyue?

¹ Beholde, what loue the father hath shewed on vs, that we shuld be called the the sonnes of God. For this cause the worlde knoweth you not, because it knoweth not hym.

⁷ He that ouer commeth shall enheret all thynges, and I wyll be hys God, and he shalbe my sonne.

²⁰ Delyuer my soule from the swearde, my dearlynge from the power of the dogge.

⁵ Therfore were thy beloued deliuered, helpe me with thy ryght hande, and heare me.

³⁰ I was with him, ordrynge all thynges: delytinge dayly, and reioysynge all waye before him. ³¹ As for the rounde compase of thys worlde, I make it ioyfull: for my delyte is to be amonge the chyldren of men.

⁴ The Lorde doth all thynges for hys awne sake, yee and when he kepeth the vngodly for the daye of wrath.

²¹ Thys people haue I made for my self, and they shall shewe forth my prayse.

²⁴ saying. Uerely, in the Lord is my ryghteousnes and strength. To him shal men come: but all they that thincke scorne of him, shalbe confounded. ²⁵ And the whole sede of Israel shalbe iustified and make their boast in the Lorde.

¹ Ye yles, herken vnto me, & take heede ye people from farre. The Lorde hath called me fro my birth, and made mencyon of my name fro my mothers wombe: ² he hath made my mouth like a sharpe swerde: vnder the shadowe of hys hande hath he defended me, and hyd me in hys quyuer as a good arowe, ³ & sayd vnto me. Thou art my seruaunt Israel, I wilbe honoured in the.

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.

¹¹ For lyke as the grounde bryngeth forth frute, & as the garden shoteth forth sede: So shall the Lord God cause righteousnes, and prayse to God to florysh forth, before all the Heathen.

⁶ In this tyme shall Iuda be saued, and Israell shall dwell without feare. And this is the name that they shal call him: euen the Lorde oure ryghteousnesse.

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

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

¹⁷ And loo, there came a voyce from heauen saienge. Thys is my beloued sonne, in whom I am well pleased.

⁵ Whyle he yet spake, behold, a bright cloude shadowed them And beholde, there came a voyce out of the cloude whych sayd this is my beloued sonne in whom I delyte heare hym.

¹⁴ Glory to God on hye, and peace on the erth, & vnto men a good wyll.

³⁵ The father loueth the sonne & hath geuen all thynges into hys hande

¹⁷ Therfore doth my father loue me, because I put my lyfe from me, that I myght take it agayne.

²² The ryghtewesnes of God, commeth by the fayth of Iesus Christ, vnto all and vpon all them that beleue. Ther is no dyfference: ²³ for all haue synned, and are destitute of the glorye of God: ²⁴ but are iustifyed frely by his grace, through the redempcyon that is in Christ Iesu, ²⁵ whom God hath set forth to be the obtayner of mercy thorow fayth, by the meanes of hys bloude, to declare hys ryghteousnes, in that he forgeueth the synnes that are passed, whych God dyd suffre, ²⁶ to shewe at thys tyme hys ryghtewesnes, that he might be counted iust, and the iustifyar of hym whych beleueth on Iesus.

¹⁵ But the gyfte is not lyke as the synne. For yf thorow the synne of one, many be deed: moche more plenteous vpon many was the grace of God & gyfte by grace; whych was of one man Iesus Christ. ¹⁶ And the gyfte is not ouer one synne: as deeth cam thorow one synne of one that synned. For damnacyon came of one synne vnto condemnacyon: but the gyft came to iustify from many synnes. ¹⁷ For yf by the synne of one, deeth raygned by the meanes of one: moch more they (whych receaue aboundance of grace and of the gyfte of ryghtewesnes) shall raygne in lyfe by the meanes of one (that is to saye) Iesus Christ. ¹⁸ Lyke wyse then as by the synne of one there sprang vp euell on all men to condemnacyon: euen so by the ryghteousnes of one, spryngeth good vpon all men to the ryghteousnes of lyfe. ¹⁹ For as by one mannes disobedience many became synners: so by the obedience of one, shall many be made ryghteous.

¹⁵ For all thynges do I for youre sakes that the plenteous grace by thanckes geuen of many, maye redounde to the prayse of God.

⁷ By whome we haue redempcyon thorowe his bloude, euen the forgeuenes of synnes, accordinge to the ryches of grace: ⁸ wherof he hath minystred vnto vs aboundantlye in all wisdome and prudence.

¹² that we (which before beleued in Christ) shuld be vnto the prayse of hys glory.

¹⁴ which is the ernest of oure inheritaunce, for the recouerynge of the purchassed possessyon, vnto the prayse of hys glory.

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

⁷ That in tymes to come he myght shewe the exceadynge, ryches of hys grace, in kyndnes to vs warde thorowe Chryst Iesu.

¹⁰ to the intent, that nowe vnto the rulers and powers in heauenly thinges, myght be knowen by the congregacion, the manyfolde wysdome of God, ¹¹ accordynge to the eternall purpose, which he wrought in Christ Iesu oure Lord,

¹¹ beynge fylled with the frute of ryghtewesnes, which cometh by Iesus Christ vnto the glory and prayse of God.

⁹ and be founde in him not hauynge myne awne ryghtewesnes of the lawe: but that which is thorow the fayth of Chryst: euen the ryghtewesnes which commeth of God thorowe fayth:

¹⁹ My God shall supplye all youre nede thorow his gloryous riches by Iesu Christ.

¹³ Which hath delyuered vs from the power of derknes, and hath translated vs into the kyngdome of hys dere sone

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

¹⁴ Neuerthelesse, the grace of oure Lorde was exceadynge aboundaunt with fayth and loue, whych is by Christ Iesu. ¹⁵ This is a true sayinge (and by all meanes worthy to be receaued of vs) that Chryst Iesus came into the worlde, to saue synners, of whom I am chefe. ¹⁶ Not wythstandynge for this cause optayned I mercy, that Iesus Christ shulde fyrst shewe on me all longe pacience, to declare an ensample vnto them which shulde beleue on him vnto eternall lyfe.

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.

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

⁷ & kepyng mercye in store for thousandes, forgeuynge wikednes, vngodlynes & synne, & not leauynge one innocent, visytynge the wyckednes of the fathers vpon the children and vpon childrens children, euen vnto the third and fourth generacyon.

²⁴ then the Lorde is mercyfull vnto hym, and sayeth: He shalbe delyuered, that he fall not downe to the graue, for I am sufficiently reconcyled.

¹ An instruccyon of Dauid. Blessed is he, whose vnryghteousnesse is forgeuen, and whose synne is couered. ² Blessed is the man, vnto whom the Lorde imputeth no synne, and in whose sprete there is no gyle.

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

⁴ For there is mercy wyth the, therfore shalt thou be feared.

⁷ O Israel trust in the Lorde, for wyth the Lorde there is mercy, and with hym is plenteous redempcyon.

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.

⁶ Seke the Lorde, whyle he may be founde, and call vpon hym whyle he is nye. 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.

⁹ But vnto the, O Lorde oure God, pertayneth mercy and forgeuenesse. As for vs, we are gone backe from hym,

¹⁹ O Lorde, heare: O forgeue Lorde, O Lorde consydre, tarye not ouer longe: but for thyne awne sake do it. O my God: for thy cyte and thy people is called after thy name.

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

² And he prayed vnto the Lorde, and sayde: O Lorde, was not thys my sayinge (I praye the) when I was yet in my countre? therfore I hasted rather to fle vnto Tharsis, for I knowe wel ynough that thou art a mercyfull God, full of compassyon, longe sufferyng, and of great kyndnes and repentest when thou shuldest take punyshment,

¹⁸ Where is there soch a God as thou? that pardonest wyckednes, and forgeuest the offences of the remnaunt of thyne herytage? He kepeth not his wrath for euer: and why? his delite is to haue compassion:

¹¹ Thou also thorow the bloude of thy couenaunt: shalt let thy presoners out of the pitte wher in is no water.

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

²⁸ euen as the sonne of man cam, not to be ministred vnto, but to minister, & to geue his lyfe a redempcion for many.

²⁸ For this is my bloud (which is of the new testament) that is shed for many, for the remissyon of synnes.

²⁴ and he sayde vnto them: This is my bloude of the newe Testament, whych is shedd for many.

⁷⁷ to geue knowlege of saluacyon vnto his people for the remission of synnes.

⁴⁰ And Iesus answered, and sayd vnto him: Simon, I haue some what to saye vnto the. And he sayd: master, saye on. ⁴¹ There was a certayne lender which had two detters, the one ought fyue hundred pence, and the other fyfty. ⁴² When they had nothynge to paye, he forgaue them both. Tell me therfore, which of them wyll loue hym most?

⁴⁷ Wherfore, I saye vnto the: many synnes are forgeuen her, for she loued moch. To whom lesse is forgeuen, the same doeth lesse loue. ⁴⁸ And he sayde vnto her: thy synnes are forgeuen the. ⁴⁹ And they that sate at meat wt him, beganne to saye within them selues. Who is this which forgeueth synnes also? ⁵⁰ And he sayd to the woman: Thy faith hath saued the. Go in peace.

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

²³ Whosoeuers synnes ye remitte, they are remitted vnto them. And whosoeuers synnes ye retayne, they are retayned.

³⁸ Peter sayde vnto them: repent of youre synnes, and be baptysed euery one of you in the name of Iesus Chryst for the remission of synnes, and ye shall receaue the gyfte of the holy goost.

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,

⁴³ To hym geue all the prophetes witnes, that thorowe hys name whosoeuer beleueth in him, shall receaue remissyon of synnes.

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.

²⁸ Take hede therfore vnto youre selues & to all the flocke amonge whom the holy ghost hath made you ouersears, to rule the congregacyon of God which he hath purchased with his bloude.

⁴ Ether despysest thou the ryches of hys goodnes, and pacyence and longe sufferaunce, not knowyng that the kyndnes of God leadeth the to repentaunce?

²⁴ but are iustifyed frely by his grace, through the redempcyon that is in Christ Iesu,

⁶ Euen as Dauid describeth the blessedfulnes of that man, vnto whom God imputeth ryghtewesnes wythout dedes. ⁷ Blessed are they, whose vnryghtewesnes are forgeuen, and whose synnes are couered ⁸ Blessed is that man, to whom the Lorde wyll not impute synne. ⁹ Came this blessednes then vpon the vncircumcisyon, or vpon the circumcisyon also? For we saye, that fayth was rekened to Abraham for ryghtewesnes.

²³ and to declare the ryches of hys glory on the vessels of mercye, which he had prepared vnto glorye:

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

⁶ to the prayse of the glory of hys grace, wherwith he hath made vs accepted thorowe the beloued.

⁴ But God which is riche in mercy (for his greate loue wher with he loued vs,

⁸ Unto me the least of all saynctes is this grace geuen, that I shulde preache amonge the Gentyls the vnsearcheable riches of Christ

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,

¹⁴ by whom we haue redempcion thorowe his bloude euen the forgeuenes of sinnes

²⁷ to whom God wolde make knowen what the gloryous ryches of thys mystery is amonge the Gentyls, which ryches is Chryst in you, the hope of glory,

¹³ And ye whan ye weare deed thorowe synne and thorowe the vncircumcisyon of youre flesshe, hath he quyckned with him, and hath forgeuen vs all oure trespaces

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

¹⁴ whych gaue him selfe for vs, to redeme vs from all vnryghtewesnes, and to pourge vs a peculyer people vnto hym selfe feruently geuen vnto good workes.

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

¹² nether by the bloude of goates & calues: but by hys awne bloude he entred in once into the holy place, and founde eternall redempcyon. ¹³ For yf the bloud of oxen and of gotes & the asshes of a yong kow, when it was sprinckcled, purifieth the vnclene, as touchyng the purifyinge of the flesshe: 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? ¹⁵ And for this cause is he the mediator of the new testament, that thorow deeth which chaunsed, for the redempcion of those transgressions that were vnder the fyrst testament they whych are called, myght receaue the promes of eternall inheritaunce.

²² And almost all thinges are by the lawe purged with bloud, & without sheadinge of bloud is no remissyon.

⁴ For the bloude of oxen and of goates can not take awaye synnes. ⁵ Wherfore, when he commeth into the worlde he sayth: Sacryfyce and offerynge thou woldest not haue: but a bodye hast thou ordeyned me: ⁶ Burnt offerynges also for synne hast thou not alowed. ⁷ Then sayd I: lo, I am here. In the begynnyng of the booke it is written of me, that I shuld do thy will, o God. 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, ¹⁰ by wych will we are made holy, euyn by the offeryng of the body of Iesu Christe once for all. ¹¹ And euery prest is ready dayly ministring and offryng often tymes one maner of oblacion, which can neuer take awaye synnes. ¹² But thys man after he hath offered one sacrifice for synnes, is set downe for euer on the ryght hand of God,

¹⁷ & their synnes & iniquities will I remember nomore. ¹⁸ And where remission of these thynges is, ther is nomore offeryng for synne.

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: ¹⁹ but wt the precious bloude of Chryst, as of a lambe vndefyled, and wythout spot,

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.

¹⁸ For as moch as Christ hath once suffered for synnes, the iust for the vniust, to bring vs to God, and was kylled, as pertayninge to the flesshe: but was quyckened in the sprete.

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.

² & he it is that obtayneth grace for oure synnes, not for oure synnes onely: but also for the synnes of all the worlde.

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

¹⁰ Herin is loue, not that we loued God, but that he loued vs, & sent hys sonne to be the agrement for oure synnes.

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,

⁴ These are they, which were not defyled wt wemen, for they are virgyns. These folowe the lambe whythersoeuer he goeth. These were redemed from men, beynge the fyrste frutes vnto God and to the lambe,

²⁴ O Lorde, how manifolde are thy worckes? in wysdome hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy ryches.

¹² I wysdome haue my dwellynge with knowledge, and prudent councell is myne awne.

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

²⁰ Daniel also cried loude, & sayde: O that the name of God myght be praysed for euer and euer, for wysdome and strength are hys awne: ²¹ he chaungeth the tymes and ages he putteth downe kynges, he setteth vp kynges: he geueth wysdome vnto the wyse, & vnderstandinge to those that vnderstande,

¹⁹ The sonne of man came eatyng and drynckyng, and they saye, beholde a glutton, & an vnmeasurable dryncker of wyne: and a frende vnto publicans and synners. And wisdome is iustifyed of her chyldren.

¹⁵ But the gyfte is not lyke as the synne. For yf thorow the synne of one, many be deed: moche more plenteous vpon many was the grace of God & gyfte by grace; whych was of one man Iesus Christ.

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

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;

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: ²⁴ but vnto them whych are called both of the Iewes & Grekes, we preache Christ the power of God and the wysdome of God.

⁷ but we speake the wysdome of God, whych is in secrete & lyeth hyd, which God ordeyned before the worlde, vnto oure glory:

³ in whom are hyd all the treasures of wysdome and knowledge.

²⁵ to God oure sauyour: which onely is wyse be glory, maiestye, dominion, and power, now and euer. Amen.

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 He is styll at one poynt, and who wyll turne him back? He doth as him listeth, and bringeth to passe what he will. ¹⁴ He perfourmeth the thynge that is appoynted for me, & many soch thynges doth he.

¹¹ The councell of the Lorde shall endure for euer, and the thoughtes of hys herte from generacyon to generacyon.

²⁴ The Lord of Hostes hath sworne an othe, sayinge? It shall come to passe as I haue determyned, and shalbe fulfylled as I haue deuysed. ²⁵ So that Assiria shal I destroye in my lande, & vpon my mountaynes will I treade him vnder foote. Wher thorow his yock shal come from them, and his burthen shalbe taken from their shoulder. ²⁶ Thys deuyce hath God taken thorow the whole worlde, and thys is hys hande stretched out ouer all people. ²⁷ For yf the Lord of hostes determen a thynge, who is able to dysanulle it? And yf he stretch forth his hande, who maye holde it in agayne?

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

²⁹ Wherfore then will ye goo to lawe with me, seynge yee all are synners agaynst me, sayeth the Lorde?

³⁷ What is he then that saieth: there shulde somthinge be done without the Lordes commaundement. ³⁸ Out of the mouth of the moost hyghest goeth not euell and good?

¹¹ He answered and sayde vnto them: it is geuen vnto you to knowe the secretes of the kyngdome of heauen, but to them it is not geuen.

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:

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

²⁸ We knowe that all thynhes worke for the best vnto them that loue God, which also are called of purpose.

²⁵ To him that is of power to stablisshe you, according to my Gospell, & preaching of Iesus Christ in vtterynge of the mistery whych was kept secret sence the worlde beganne, ²⁶ but now is opened by the scriptures of the prophetes at the commaundement of the euerlastynge God, to stere vp obedience to the fayth, publysshed amonge all nacions: ²⁷ To the same God, which alone is wyse, be prayse thorow Iesus Chryst for euer. Amen.

¹⁰ But God hath opened them vnto vs by his sprete. For the sprete searcheth all thinges, ye the botome of Goddes secretes. ¹¹ For what man knoweth the thinges of a man: saue the sprete of man which is wt in him? Euen so the thynges of God knoweth no man, but the sprete of God. ¹² And we haue not receaued the sprete of the worlde: but the sprete which commeth of God, for to knowe the thynges that are geuen to vs of God:

¹² For I nether receaued it, ner learned it of man, but by the reuelacyon of Iesus Christ.

¹⁶ for to declare hys sonne by me, that I shulde preache hym amonge the Heathen: immediatly I commened not of the matter with flessh & bloude, ¹⁷ that the God of oure Lorde Iesus Chryst, the father of glory, maye geue vnto you the sprete of wysdome and reuelacyon, by the knowledge of him selfe, ¹⁸ and lyghten the eyes of youre myndes, that ye maye knowe what the hope is, where vnto he hath called you, and howe riche the glorye is of his inheritaunce vpon the saynctes,

³ For by reuelacion shewed he the mistery vnto me, as I wrote afore in feawe wordes ⁴ wherby when ye reade, ye maye vnderstand my knowledge in the mistery of Christ, ⁵ which mistery in tymes passed was not opened vnto the sonnes of men, as it is nowe declared vnto hys holy Apostles and Prophetes by the sprete: ⁶ that the Gentyls shulde be inheritours also, and of the same body, and partetakers of hys promes in Christ, by the meanes of the Gospell, ⁷ wherof I am made a mynyster, accordinge to the gyfte of the grace of God which is geuen vnto me after the workynge of hys power. ⁸ Unto me the least of all saynctes is this grace geuen, that I shulde preache amonge the Gentyls the vnsearcheable riches of Christ ⁹ and to make all men se, what the felyshyppe of the mystery is, which from the begynnynge of the worlde hath bene hyd in God which made all thinges thorow Iesus Christ:

¹¹ accordynge to the eternall purpose, which he wrought in Christ Iesu oure Lord,

²⁶ that mistery which hath bene hyd sence the worlde beganne, and sence the begynnynge of generacyons: but nowe is opened to his saynctes, ²⁷ to whom God wolde make knowen what the gloryous ryches of thys mystery is amonge the Gentyls, which ryches is Chryst in you, the hope of glory, ²⁸ whom we preache, warnynge all men, and teachynge all men in all wysdome, to make all men parfecte in Christ Iesu.

¹⁶ And without doute great is that mystery of godlynes: God was shewed in the flesshe, was iustifyed in the sprete, was sene amonge the Angels, was preached vnto the gentyls, was beleued on in the worlde, and receaued vp in glory.

¹⁰ The sceptre shall not departe from Iuda, and a lawgeuer from betwene hys fete, vntyll. Sylocome. And vnto hym shall the gatherynge of the people be.

² It wilbe also in the last dayes that the hyll where the house of the Lorde is builded, shall be the chefe amonge hylles, and exalted aboue all lytle hylles. And all nacyons shall preace vnto hym, and the multytude of people shal go ³ speaking thus one to another: vp, let vs go to the hyll of the Lord, & to the house of the God of Iacob: that he maye shewe vs his waye, and that we maye walcke in his pathes. For the lawe shall come out of Sion, and the word of the Lorde from Ierusalem, ⁴ and shall geue sentence amonge the Heathen, and shall reforme the multitude of people: They shall breake theyr swerdes also in to mattockes, and theyr speares to make sythes. And one people shall not lyft vp weapen against another, nether shal they learne to fyght from thens forth.

⁴⁴ In the dayes of these kynges, shall the God of heauen set vp an euerlasting kyngdome whych shall not perish, & his kyngdome shal not be geuen ouer to another people: yee, the same shall breake & destroye all these kyngdomes, but it shall endure for euer.

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

¹¹ At that tyme will I buylde agayne the tabernacle of Dauid, that is fallen downe, and hedge vp his gappes: and loke what ys broken, I shal repayre it: yee, I shall buylde it agayne, as it was afore tyme

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

¹ Beholde, I will sende my messaunger, whiche shall prepare the waye before me: and the Lorde whom ye wolde haue, shal soone come to his temple, yee, euen the messaunger of the couenaunt whom ye longe for. Beholde, he commeth, saieth the Lorde of hostes.

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:

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

²² whether it be Paul, ether Apollo, ether Cephas: whether it be the worlde, ether lyfe, ether deeth, whether they be present thynges, or thynges to come: all are youres: ²³ and ye are Chrystes, and Christ is Goddes.

¹¹ All these thynges happened vnto them for ensamples, but are wrytten to put vs in remembraunce, whom the endes of the worlde are come vpon.

³ But I wolde haue you to knowe, that Christ is the heed of euery man. And the man is the womans heed. And God is Christes heed.

⁴ But when the tyme was full come, God sent hys sonne, made of a woman, and made bonde vnto the lawe,

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

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,

¹⁵ which is father ouer all that is called father in heauen and in erth,

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,

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,

²⁰ and by him to reconcyle all thinge vnto him selfe, and to set at peace by hym thorowe the bloude of hys crosse, both thynges in heauen and thinges in erth.

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

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

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

⁴⁰ because God had prouided a better thing for vs, that they wt out vs shuld not be made parfecte.

²² But ye are come vnto the mount Syon, and to the citye of the liuynge God, the celestiall Ierusalem: and to an innumerable syght of angels, ²³ and vnto the congregacion of the fyrst borne sonnes; whych are wrytten in heauen, and to God, the iudge of all, & to the spretes of iust and parfecte men, ²⁴ and to Iesus the mediator of the new testament, & to the sprincklynge of bloud that speaketh better then the bloud of Abel.

⁴ And I hearde the nombre of them whych were sealed, & ther were sealed an .C. & .xliiii.M. of all the trybes of the chyldren of Israel. ⁵ Of the trybe of Iuda were sealed .xii.M. Of the trybe of Ruben were sealed .xii.M. Of the trybe of Gad were sealed .xii.M. ⁶ Of the trybe of Aser were sealed .xii.M. Of the trybe of Neptali were sealed .xii.M. Of the tryb of Manasses were sealed .xii.M. ⁷ Of the trybe of Symeon were sealed .xii.M. Of the trybe of Leuy were sealed .xii.M. Of the trybe of Isacar were sealed .xii.M. ⁸ Of the trybe of Zabulon were sealed .xii.M. Of the trybe of Ioseph were sealed .xii.M. Of the trybe of Beniamin were sealed .xii.M. ⁹ After this I behelde, & lo, a gret multitude (which noman coulde nombre) of all nacyons & people, & tonges, stode before the seate, & before the lambe, clothed with longe white garmentes, & palmes in their handes, ¹⁰ & cryed with a lowde voyce, sayinge: saluacyon be asscribed to him that sytteth vpon the seate of oure God, & vnto the lambe. ¹¹ And all the angels stode in the compase of the seate, & of the elders & of the foure bestes, & fell before the seat on their faces, and worshypped God, ¹² sayinge, Amen: Blessinge & glory & wysdome & thankes, and honour, & power, & myght, be vnto oure God for euermore. Amen.

⁴ And the .xxiiii. elders, & the .iiii. bestes fell downe, & worshipped God that sate on the seate, saying: Amen, Alleluia. ⁵ And a voyce came out of the seat, sayinge: praise our Lord God all ye that are his seruauntes, & ye that feare hym both small and great. ⁶ And I herde the voyce of moche people euen as the voyce of many waters, & as the voyce of strong thondrynges sayinge: Alleluia, for the Lord our God omnipotent raygneth.

²⁰ But the Lorde hath taken you, & brought you out of the yron fornace: euen out of Egypte, to be vnto him a people and enheritaunce, as ye be this daye.

¹³ Yee, with God is wysdome and strength, it is he that hath councell and forknowledge.

¹⁸ The Lord knoweth the dayes of the godly, & their inheritaunce shall endure for euer.

¹⁴ I can geue councell, and I conferre thinges: I haue vnderstanding, I haue strength.

¹⁹ Which vse to speake on thys maner: let hym make haste nowe, & go forth with hys worcke, that we maye se it. Lett the councell of the holy one of Israel come, and drawe nye, that we maye knowe it.

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

¹³ Who hath refourmed the mynde of the Lorde? or to whom hath he shewed his counsell. Or who is of his councell to teach him? ¹⁴ or who hath geuen him vnderstandynge and hath taught him the path of iudgement Who taught him conninge and opened to him the waye of vnderstandynge.

¹⁸ For who hath sytten in the councell of the Lorde, that he hath herde & vnderstande, what he is aboute to do: Who hath marcked hys deuyce, and herde it?

¹⁹ Thou art the greate and mightye God, whose name is the Lorde of hoostes: greate in councell, and excellent in worcke. Thyne eyes loke vpon all the wayes of mens chyldren, to reward euery one after his waye: & according to the frutes of his inuencions.

¹³ yee, euen he shal buylde vp the temple of the Lorde. He shall beare the prayse, he shal syt vpon the Lordes trone, & haue the dominacyon. A preste shal he be also vpon his trone, & a peaceable councel shalbe betwixte them both.

²⁷ For I haue spared no laboure, but haue shewed you all the counsell of God.

³² And now brethren, I commende you to God and to the worde of his grace, which is able to build farther, & to geue you an inheritaunce amonge all them which are sanctifyed

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

¹⁷ If we be sonnes, then are we also heyres, the heyres I meane of God, & heyres anexed with Chryst yf so be that we suffer with hym, that we maye be also glorified together with hym.

³⁴ For who hath knowen the mynde of the Lorde? Or who hath bene hys counseller?

¹⁸ For yf the inheritaunce come of the lawe, it commeth not nowe of promesse. But God gaue it vnto Abraham by promes.

⁵ Which ordeyned vs before thorowe Iesus Christ to be heyres vnto hym selfe, accordinge to the good pleasure of hys wyll,

⁸ wherof he hath minystred vnto vs aboundantlye in all wisdome and prudence.

¹² geuynge thankes vnto the father, which hath made vs mete to be partakers of the inheritaunce of saynctes in lyght,

²⁴ knowynge, that of the Lord ye shall receaue the rewarde of inheritaunce, for ye serue the Lorde Christ.

⁷ that we iustifyed by hys grace, shulde be made heyres accordinge to the hope of eternall lyfe,

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

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

⁹ not rendrynge euyll for euyll, or rebuke for rebuke: but contrarywise, blesse: knowinge that ye are ther vnto called, euen that ye shulde be heyres of the blessynge.

¹² Kysse the sonne, lest he be angrye, & so ye perysshe from the waye, yf his wrath be kyndled (yee but a lytle) blessed are all they that put theyr trust in hym.

³ For when the breth of man goeth forth he shall turne againe to his earth, and then all his thoughtes peryshe. ⁴ Blessed is he that hath the God of Iacob for hys helpe, and whose hope is in the Lorde hys God. ⁵ Which made heauen and earth, the see, and all that therin is, whych kepeth hys promyse for euer.

¹⁰ And in that daye shal the gentyles enquere after the rote of Iesse which shalbe set vp for a token vnto the people, & hys dwellynge shalbe glorious.

² Behold, God is my saluacion in whom I will trust, and not be afrayde. For the Lorde God is my strength, & my songe, he also is become my saluacion.

¹ Beholde, a king shall gouerne after the rule of ryghtewesnesse, and the princes shall rule, accordyng to the balaunce of equitye. ² And that man shalbe vnto men as a defence for the wynd, and as a refuge for the tempest: lyke as a riuer of water in a thirstye place, and the shadowe of a greate rocke in a drye lande.

¹ Beholde, this is my seruaunte vpon whom I leane, myne electe, In whom my soule is pacifyed. I haue geuen hym my sprete, that he maye shewe forth iudgement and equitye among the Gentiles. ² He shall not be an outcrier, ner lyfte vp his voyce. His voyce shal not be hearde in the stretes. ³ And a brosed rede shall he not breake, and the smoking flaxe shall he not quench: but faythfully and truly shall be geue iudgement, ⁴ not be pensyue nor carefull, that he maye restore ryghteousnes vnto the earth, and the Gentyles also shal kepe his lawes.

²³ I sweare by my selfe: oute of my mouth commeth the word of ryghteousnesse, and that maye no man turne: but all knees shall bowe vnto me, and all tunges shall sweare by my name,

²⁵ And the whole sede of Israel shalbe iustified and make their boast in the Lorde.

⁵ Thus sayth the Lord. Cursed be the man that putteth his trust in man, and that taketh fleshe for his arme: and he, whose herte departeth from the Lorde: ⁶ He shall be lyke the heath, that groweth in the wyldernes. As for the good thyng that is for to come, he shall not se it: but dwel in a drye place of the wyldernes, in a salt and vnoccupyed lande. ⁷ O blessed is the man, that putteth his trust in the Lorde, and whose hope is the Lorde him selfe.

¹⁸ Beholde, my childe, whom I haue chosen, my beloued, in whom my soule deliteth. I wyll put my sprete vpon him, and he shall shewe iudgement to the gentyls. ¹⁹ He shal not stryue ner crye, nether shall eny man heare hys voyce in the stretes, ²⁰ a brosed rede shall he not breake, and smokyng flax shall he not quenche, till he sende forth iudgement vnto victorie, ²¹ & in his name shall the gentyls trust.

¹ And he sayde vnto his disciples: lett not your herte be troubled. Ye beleue in God, beleue also in me.

¹² And agayne Esay sayth: ther shalbe the rote of Iesie, and he that shall ryse to raygne ouer the gentyls: in hym shall the gentyls trust. ¹³ The God of hope fyll you wyth all ioye and peace in beleuyng: that ye maye be ryche in hope, thorow the power of the holy ghost.

¹³ In whom also we beleue, for asmoche as we haue hearde the worde of trueth, euen the Gospell of youre saluacyon: wherin, whan ye had beleued ye were sealed with the holy sprete of promes ¹⁴ which is the ernest of oure inheritaunce, for the recouerynge of the purchassed possessyon, vnto the prayse of hys glory.

²¹ be prayse in the congregacyon by Christ Iesus, thorowe out all ages worlde without ende. Amen.

¹³ But we are bounde to geue thankes alwey to God for you (brethren beloued of the Lorde) for because that God hath from the begynnynge chosen you to saluacyon, thorowe sanctifyinge of the sprete, and thorow beleuing of the trueth,

¹² for the whych cause I also suffre these thynges. Neuerthelesse, I am not ashamed. For I knowe, and am sure, that he (in whom I haue put my trust) is able to kepe that whych I haue committed to hys kepynge, agaynst that daye.

¹⁸ Of hys awne wyll begat he vs with the worde of trueth, that we shulde be the fyrst frutes of hys creatures.

²¹ whych by his meanes do beleue on God, that raysed hym vp from deeth, & gloryfyed hym, that ye might haue fayth and hope toward God:

⁴³ O take not the worde of treuth vtterly oute of my mouth, for my hope is in thy iudgementes.

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

¹⁵ And he sayde vnto them: Goo ye into al the worlde, and preache the gospell to all creatures, ¹⁶ he that beleueth & is baptised, shalbe saued. But he that beleueth not, shalbe dampned.

¹³ Yf ye then beyng euyll, can geue good giftes vnto youre children, how moch moare shall your father of heauen geue the holy sprete to them, that desyre it of him?

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

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

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.

¹⁶ & I will praye the father, and he shall geue you another comforter, that he maye bide wt you for euer: ¹⁷ euen the sprete of treuth, whom the world cannot receaue, because the worlde seeth hym not, nether knoweth him. But ye knowe him. For he dwelleth wt you, & shalbe in you.

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

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

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

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

¹⁶ But this it that which was spoken by the Prophete Iohel: ¹⁷ And it shalbe in the last dayes, sayth God: of my sprete I wyll poore out vpon all flesshe. And youre sonnes & youre daughters shall prophesy, and youre yonge men shall se vysyons, and youre olde men shall dreame dreames. ¹⁸ And on my seruauntes, & on my hande maydens I wyll poore out of my sprete in those dayes, and they shall prophesye. ¹⁹ And I wyll shewe wonders in heauen aboue, and tokens in the erth beneth, bloud and fyre and the vapour of smoke. ²⁰ The sunne shalbe turned into darcknes, & the moone into bloude, before that great and notable daye of the Lorde come. ²¹ And it shall come to passe, that whosoeuer shall call on the name of the Lorde, shalbe saued. ²² Ye men of Israel, heare these wordes: Iesus of Nazareth a man aproued of God amonge you with myracles, wonders and sygnes, which God dyd by hym in the myddes of you (as ye youre selues knowe)

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.

²⁶ Ye men and brethren, chyldren of the generacyon of Abraham, and whosoeuer among you feareth God, to you is thys worde of saluacyon sent.

¹⁶ For I am not asshamed of the Gospell of Chryst, because it is the power of God vnto saluacion to euery one that beleueth, to the Iewe fyrst, & also to the Gentyle.

¹¹ And he receaued the sygne of circumcisyon, as a seale of the ryghtewesnes of fayth, whych he had yet beynge vncircumcysed, that he shulde be the father of all them that beleue, though they be not circumcised, that ryghtewesnes myght be imputed to them also:

¹⁷ God be thanked, that though ye were the seruauntes of synne, ye haue yet obeyed with herte vnto the rule of the doctryne, that ye be brought vnto.

¹⁴ How then shall they call on hym, on whom they haue not beleued? how shall they beleue on hym, of whom they haue not hearde? how shall they heare, without a preacher? ¹⁵ And how shall they preache except they be sent? As it is written: how beautyfull are the fete of them which brynge tydynges of peace, and brynge tydynges of good thynges. ¹⁶ But they haue not all obeyed to the Gospell. For Esay sayth: Lorde, who hath beleued oure sayinges? ¹⁷ So then fayth cometh by hearynge, and hearynge cometh by the worde of God.

²² whych hath also sealed vs, and hath geuen the ernest of the sprete in oure hertes.

⁷ in the worde of trueth, in the power of God, by the armoure of ryghtewesnes of the ryght hande & on the lyfte

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.

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.

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

³⁰ And greue not ye the holy sprete of God by whom ye are sealed vnto the daye of redempcyon.

⁴ For we haue hearde of your fayth in Christ Iesu, and of the loue which ye beare to all saynctes, ⁵ for the hopes sake which is layd vp in store for you in heauen, of which hope, ye herde before by the true worde of the Gospell, ⁶ which is come vnto you: euen as it, is frutefull as it is also amonge you, from the daye in the which ye hearde of it, and had experience in the grace of God thorowe the trueth,

²¹ And you which were somtyme farre of and enemyes, because youre myndes were set in euyll worckes hath he nowe yet reconcyled ²² in the body of hys flesshe thorowe deeth, to make you holy, and vnblameable, & without faut in hys awne syght, ²³ yf ye contynue grounded and stablysshed in the fayth, and be not moued awaye from the hope of the Gospell, wherof ye haue herde, howe that it is preached amonge all creatures which are vnder heauen, wherof I Paul am made a mynyster.

¹³ For this cause thanke we God also without ceassyng, because that when ye receaued of vs the worde (wherwith ye learned to know God) ye receaued it not as the worde of man: but euen as it was in dede, the worde of God, whych worketh also in you that beleue.

¹⁵ Study to shewe thy selfe laudable vnto God, a workman that nedeth not to be a shamed distributynge the worde of trueth iustly.

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.

¹¹ For the grace of God, that bryngeth saluacyon vnto all men, hath appeared

³ howe shall we escape, yf we despyse so great saluacyon, which at the fyrst began to be preached of the Lorde hym selfe, and was confirmed vnto vs warde, by them that hearde it?

¹⁰ whych in tyme past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which some time had not optayned mercye, but now haue optayned mercye.

² And I sawe another angell ascende from the rysynge of the sunne, which had the seale of the lyuyng God, & he cryed wyth a loude voyce to the foure Angels (to whom power was geuen to hurte the erth & the see)

²⁴ In all the lande of youre possessyon, ye shall graunt a redempcion for the lande. ²⁵ Yf thy brother be waxed poore, and hath solde awaye of hys possessyon: and yf any of his kyn come to redeme it, let him bye out that whyche hys brother solde. ²⁶ And yf he haue no man to redeme it, let hys hande get asmuch as maye be suffycyent to bye it oute agayne, ²⁷ and let hym counte howe longe it hath bene solde, & delyuer the rest vnto the man to whome he solde it, that he maye retourne to hys possessyon agayne. ²⁸ But and yf hys hande cannot gett suffycient to restore to the other agayne, then that whyche is solde shall remayne in the hande of hym that hath boughte it, vntyll the yeare of iubelye: and in the Iubelye it shall come out, and he shall retourne vnto hys possessyon agayne. ²⁹ And yf a man sell a house or a dwellynge wythin the walles of a cytie, he maye bye it out agayne wythin a whole yeare after it is solde: euen any daye of the yeare shall he redeme it agayne. ³⁰ But and yf he bye it not out agayne wythin the space of a full yeare, then the house that is in the walled citie, shalbe stablisshed, and be his owne that boughte it, and hys successoures after him, and shall not go out in the iubelie. ³¹ But the houses of vyllages which haue no walles rounde aboute them, are counted as the felde of the countre, & therfore they maye be boughte out agayne, and shall returne in the iubelye. ³² Notwithstandinge the cyties of the leuytes, and the houses of the cyties of their possession, maye the leuites redeme at all ceasons. ³³ And yf a man purchase ought of the Leuites, the house that was solde, and the cite of their possession shall go out in the yeare of iubelie: for the houses of the cyties of the leuites, are their possession amonge the chyldren of Israel. ³⁴ But the felde of the suburbe that is besyde their cyties, maye not be solde: but is theyr perpetuall possession.

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

⁵⁴ He brought them out safely, that they shulde not feare, & ouer whelmed their enemyes with the see.

⁷ Behold, Hananeel the sonne of Selum thyne vncles sonne, shall come vnto the, and requyre the to redeme the lande that lyeth in Anathoth vnto thy selfe: for by reason of kynred it is thy right to redeme it, and to bye it out. ⁸ And Hananeel myne vncles sonne came to me in the court of the preson, accordynge to the worde of the Lorde, and sayde vnto me: Bye my lande, I praye the, that lieth in Anathoth in the contrey of Beniamin: for by heritage thou haste ryght to loose it oute for thy selfe, therfore redeme it. Then I perceaued that thys was the commaundement of the Lorde,

²⁸ When these thynges begynne to come to passe: then loke vp, and lyfte vp youre heades, for youre redempcyon draweth nye.

⁵ He that hath ordeyned vs for this thynge, is God: which very same hath geuen vnto vs the ernest of the sprete.

⁶ Because ye are sonnes, God hathe sent the sprete of hys sonne into oure hertes, cryinge: Abba father.

⁶ to the prayse of the glory of hys grace, wherwith he hath made vs accepted thorowe the beloued. ⁷ By whome we haue redempcyon thorowe his bloude, euen the forgeuenes of synnes, accordinge to the ryches of grace:

³ All my delyte is vpon the saynctes that are in the erth, & vpon soch as excell in vertue.

³ We geue thankes to God the father of oure Lorde Iesus Christ alwayes for you in oure prayers. ⁴ For we haue hearde of your fayth in Christ Iesu, and of the loue which ye beare to all saynctes,

³ without ceasynge, & call you to remembraunce because of the worke of your fayth, and labour in loue, and because ye haue contynued in the hope of oure Lorde Iesus Christ, in the syght of God our father.

⁹ But as touchynge brotherly loue, ye nede not, that I wryte vnto you. For ye are taught of God, to loue one another.

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,

⁵ for the ende of the commaundement is, loue out of a pure herte, and of a good conscience, and of fayth vnfayned: from the whych thynges,

¹⁴ Neuerthelesse, the grace of oure Lorde was exceadynge aboundaunt with fayth and loue, whych is by Christ Iesu.

⁵ when I heare of thy loue & fayth, which thou hast to warde the Lorde. Iesu, and towarde all saynctes,

¹⁰ For God is not vnryghteous that he shulde forget youre worke and laboure that procedeth of loue, which loue ye shewe in his name, which haue ministred vnto the saynctes, and yet minister.

²² euen ye whych haue purifyed youre soules thorow the sprete, in obeynge the trueth wyth brotherly loue vnfayned, se that ye loue one another wyth a pure hert feruently:

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

²¹ And this commaundement haue we of hym: that he which loueth God, shuld loue his brother also.

¹⁴ But yf thou thynke on me wyth the, when thou art in good case, shewe mercye (I praye the) vnto me. And make mencion of me to Pharao, and brynge me out of thys house:

⁸ & the children of Israel saide to Samuel: ceasse not to crye vnto the Lorde oure God for vs, that he maye saue vs out of the hand of the Philistines.

²³ Moreouer God forbydde, that I shulde synne agaynst the Lorde, and ceasse prayeng for you, but to shewe you the good & ryght waye.

⁶ I haue set watchmen vpon thy walles (O Ierusalem) which shall nether ceasse daye nor night to preache the Lorde. And ye also that remembre the Lorde ye shall not kepe him close,

⁸ Fyrst verely I thanke my God thorow Iesus Chryst for you all, that youre fayth is spoken of in all the worlde. ⁹ For God is my wytnes (whom I serue. Wyth my sprete in the Gospell of hys sonne) that wythout ceasynge I make mencyon of you prayinge allwayes in my prayers,

³ I thanke my God with all remembraunce of you ⁴ all wayes in all my prayers for you, and praye with gladnes:

³ We geue thankes to God the father of oure Lorde Iesus Christ alwayes for you in oure prayers.

⁹ For this cause we also, sence that daye we herde of it, haue not ceasyd to praye for you, and to desyre, that ye myght be fulfylled with the knowledge of hys wyll, in all wysdome and spretuall vnderstandynge,

² We geue god thankes alwaye for you all: makynge mencyon of you in our prayers

¹⁷ Praye contynually.

³⁸ Then sayde Pharao vnto hys seruauntes: where shall we fynde soch a man as thys is, in whom is the sprete of God? ³⁹ And Pharao sayde vnto Ioseph: for as moche as God hath shewed the all thys, there is no man of vnderstondynge or of wysdome lyke vnto the.

¹¹ Thyne (O Lorde) is greatnesse, and power, glorie, victorie and prayse: for all that is in heauen and in erth is thyne, & thyne is the kyngdom (O Lorde) and thou excellest aboue all, euen as the heed of all.

⁷ Lyfte vp youre heades O ye gates, & be ye lyfte vp, ye euerlastynge dores, & the kynge of glory shall come in.

¹⁰ Who is thys kynge of glory? Euen the Lorde of Hoostes, he is the kynge of glory. Sela.

³ It is the Lorde that commaundeth the waters: It is the glorious God that maketh the thonder:

⁵ then shalt thou vnderstande the feare of the Lorde, and fynde the knowledge of God.

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:

¹¹ whether the Gentils them selues deale so falsly and vntruly wt their goddes, (which yet are no goddes in dede) But my people hath geuen ouer their hye honoure, for a thynge that maye not helpe them.

²⁴ But who so will reioyse, let hym reioyse in this, that he vnderstandeth, & knoweth me: for I am the Lorde, which do mercy, equyte and ryghteousnesse vpon the earth. Therfore, haue I pleasure in soch thynges, sayeth the Lorde.

⁷ And I wyll geue them an herte, to knowe how that I am the Lorde. They shalbe my people, & I will be their God, for they shall returne vnto me with their whole herte.

²⁸ Only God in heauen can open secretes, and he it is, that sheweth the kynge Nabuchodonosor, what is for to come in the latter dayes. Thy dreame, & that which thou hast sene in thyne head vpon thy bed, is this: ²⁹ O kynge thou dydest cast in thy mynde, what shulde come herafter. So he that is the opener of mysteries, telleth the, what is for to come. ³⁰ As for me, this secrete is not shewed me, for eny wysdome that I haue, more then eny other lyuinge: but onely that I myght shewe the kynge the interpretacyon, and that he myght knowe the thoughtes of his awne herte.

¹¹ For why? there is a man in thy kyngdome, that hath the sprete of the holy goddes within him, as it was sene in thy fathers dayes. He hath vnderstandynge and wysdome lyke the goddes. Ye the kynge Nabuchodonosor thy father made this man chefe of the sothsayers, charmers, Caldees and readers of destines:

¹ In the thyrde yeare of kynge Cirus of Persia, there was shewed vnto Daniel (other wyse called Balthasar) a matter, yee, a true matter, but it is yet a longe tyme vnto it. He vnderstode the matter well, and perceaued what the visyon was.

¹³ And leade vs not into temptacyon: but delyuer vs from euyll. For thyne is the kyngdome and the power, and the glorye for euer. Amen.

²⁵ At that tyme Iesus answered and sayde: I thanke the O father, Lord of heauen & erth, because thou hast hid these thinges from the wyse and prudent, and hast shewed them vnto babes,

²⁷ All thinges are geuen ouer vnto me of my father. And noman knoweth the sonne but the father: nether knoweth eny man the father, saue the sonne, and he to whomsoeuer the sonne will open him.

¹⁷ And Iesus answered, & sayde vnto hym: happy art thou Simon the sonne of Ionas, for fleshe & bloud hath not opened that vnto the but my father which is in heuen.

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

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

⁵⁴ Iesus answered: If I honoure my selfe, myne honour is nothinge. It is my father that honoureth me, which ye saye, is your God, ⁵⁵ & yet ye haue not knowen hym: but I knowe him. And yf I saye, I knowe him not, I shalbe a lyar lyke vnto you. But I knowe him, and kepe his sayinge.

¹⁷ euen the sprete of treuth, whom the world cannot receaue, because the worlde seeth hym not, nether knoweth him. But ye knowe him. For he dwelleth wt you, & shalbe in you.

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

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

²⁵ O righteous father, the worlde also hath not knowen the: but I haue knowen the: and these haue knowen, that thou hast sent me. ²⁶ And I haue declared vnto them thy name, and will declare it, that the loue wherwith thou hast loued me, maye be in them, & I in them.

¹⁰ And they coulde not resyste the wisdome, & the sprete, which spake.

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

²⁸ And as they regarded not to knowe God euen so God delyuered them vp vnto a lewde mynde, that they shulde do those thynges whych were not comly,

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.

¹⁰ But God hath opened them vnto vs by his sprete. For the sprete searcheth all thinges, ye the botome of Goddes secretes.

⁸ For to one is geuen thorow the spirite the vtteraunce of wisdome. To another is geuen the vttraunce of knowledge by the same sprete.

⁶ Now brethren, yf I come vnto you speakynge with tonges: what shall I profet you, excepte I speake to you, other by reuelacyon or by knowledge, or by prophesyinge, or by doctryne?

¹ (

³ Blessed be God the father of oure Lorde Iesus Christ, which hath blessed vs with all maner of spirituall blessyng in heuenly thinges by Christ

⁵ which mistery in tymes passed was not opened vnto the sonnes of men, as it is nowe declared vnto hys holy Apostles and Prophetes by the sprete:

¹⁸ myght be able to comprehende with all saynctes, what is the bredth and length, deepth and heygth: ¹⁹ & to knowe the excellent loue of the knowledge of Christ that ye myght be fulfylled with all fulnes, which commeth of God.

⁹ For this cause we also, sence that daye we herde of it, haue not ceasyd to praye for you, and to desyre, that ye myght be fulfylled with the knowledge of hys wyll, in all wysdome and spretuall vnderstandynge, 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,

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.

²⁵ the euyll with meaknes, and can informe them that resyst yf that God at eny tyme wyll geue them repentaunce, for to knowe the trueth:

¹ Paul the seruaunt of God, and apostle of Iesu Christ accordinge to the fayth of goddes electe, and accordynge to the knowledge of the trueth, which is after godlynes

¹ My brethren, esteme not the fayth of our Lorde Iesus Christ the Lorde of glory wt respecte of persons.

¹⁷ But the wysdome that is from aboue, is first pure, then peasable, gentle, & easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good frutes, without iudging, without simulacion: ¹⁸ yee, & the frute of ryghtewesnes is sowen in peace, of them that mayntene peace.

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

¹⁸ but growe in grace, & in the knowledge of oure Lorde and sauyoure Iesus Christ. To whom be glory both now and for euer. Amen.

³ And herby we are sure that we knowe hym, yf we kepe hys commaundementes. ⁴ He that sayth I knowe hym, and kepeth not hys commaundementes is a lyar, and the veritye is not in hym.

¹² sayinge, Amen: Blessinge & glory & wysdome & thankes, and honour, & power, & myght, be vnto oure God for euermore. Amen.

¹⁸ Open thou mine eyes, that I maye se the wonderous thinges of thy lawe.

¹⁰ Harden the harte of this people, stoppe theyr eares, and shut theyr eyes, that they se not with theyr eyes, heare not with theyr eares, and vnderstand not with theyr hertes, and conuerte and be healed.

¹⁰ For the Lorde hath couered you with a slomberinge sprete, and hath closed your eyes. Your prophetes also & rulers that shuld se, them hath he couered.

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.

³ The eyes of the seynge shall not be dym, and the cares of them that heare, shall take diligent hede.

⁷ That thou mayest open the eyes of the blynde, let out the prisoners from ther bondes & them that syt in darcknesse, out of the dongeon house.

¹⁵ For these peoples hertes is wexed grosse, and their eares are dull of hearynge, and theyr eyes haue they closed, lest at any tyme they shuld se with their eyes, and heare with their eares, & shuld understand with their herte, & be conuerted, that I also myght heale them.

⁴⁵ Then opened he theyr wyttes, that they myght vnderstand the scryptures,

¹⁴ And a certayne woman (named Lydia) a seller of purple, of the cytie of Thyatira, which worshypped God, gaue vs audience. Whose hert the Lorde opened, that she attended vnto the thynges, which Paul spake.

⁴ pacience bryngeth experience, experience bryngeth hope. ⁵ And hope maketh not ashamed: because the loue of God is sheed abroad in oure hertes, by the holy ghost whych is geuen vnto vs.

²⁴ For we are sauyd by hope. But hope that is sene, is no hope. For how can a man hope for that, which he seyth? ²⁵ But and yf we hope for that we se not, then do we wt pacience abyde for it.

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.

⁶ For it is God, that commaunded the lyght to shyne out of darcknes, which hath shyned in oure hertes, for to geue the lyght of the knowledge of the glory of God, in the face of Iesus Christ.

⁵ We loke for, and hope in the sprete to be iustifyed thorowe fayth.

⁷ By whome we haue redempcyon thorowe his bloude, euen the forgeuenes of synnes, accordinge to the ryches of grace:

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.

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

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

⁸ Ye were somtyme darcknes, but nowe are ye lyght in the Lorde. Walke as children of lyght

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

⁵ for the hopes sake which is layd vp in store for you in heauen, of which hope, ye herde before by the true worde of the Gospell,

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.

¹⁵ And the peace of God rule in youre hertes: to the which peace ye are called in one body. And se that ye be thankfull.

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

⁸ But let vs whych are of the daye, be sober armed wyth the brest plate of fayth and loue, and with hope of saluacyon for an helmet.

¹⁶ Oure Lorde Iesu Christ hym selfe, and God and oure father (which hath loued vs, and hath geuen vs euerlastynge consolacyon, and good hope thorowe grace)

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

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

⁴ For it can not be that they which were once lyghted, and haue tasted of the heauenly gyfte, & were become partakers of the holy goost,

³² Call to remembraunce the dayes that are passed, in the whych after ye had receaued lyght, ye endured a greate fyght of aduersities,

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.

¹ Beholde, what loue the father hath shewed on vs, that we shuld be called the the sonnes of God. For this cause the worlde knoweth you not, because it knoweth not hym. ² Dearely beloued, now are we the sonnes of God & yet it doth not appeare, what we shalbe. But we knowe, that when it shall appeare, we shalbe lyke him. For we shall se hym as he is. ³ And euery man that hath this hope in him, pourgeth him selfe, euen as he also is pure.

² The Lord shall sende the rodde of thy power out of Sion, be thou ruler euen in the myddest among thyne enemyes. ³ In the daye of thy power shall thy people offre the frewyll offrynges wt an holy worshippe, the dewe of thy byrth is of the wombe of the mornyng.

¹ But who hath geuen credence vnto the thynge we haue hearde? Or to whom is the arme of the Lord knowne?

⁶ That whych is borne of the flesshe, is flesshe, and that which is borne of the sprete, is sprete.

⁷ But we haue this treasure in erthen vessels, that the excellency of the power myght be Gods, and not oures.

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.

²⁰ Unto hym that is able to do exceadynge aboundantly aboue all that we aske or thynke accordynge to the power that worketh in in vs,

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

²⁹ Wherin I also laboure and stryue, euen as farforth as his strength worketh in me myghtely.

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

⁵ For oure Gospel came not vnto you by worde onely, but also by power, and by the holy goost, and by moch certayntye, as ye knowe, after what maner we be haued oure selues amonge you, for your sake.

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

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

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

⁶⁴ Iesus sayeth vnto hym, thou hast sayd. Neuerthelesse I saye vnto you here after shall ye se the sonne of man syttinge on the right hande of power, and commyng in the cloudes of the skye.

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

⁶² And Iesus sayd: I am. And ye shall se the sonne of man sytting on the ryght hand of power, & commyng in the cloudes of heauen.

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

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

³⁰ I and my father are one.

¹ These wordes spake Iesus, and lift vp his eyes to heauen, and sayde: father, the houre is come: glorify thy sonne that thy sonne also maye glorify the: ² as thou hast geuen him power ouer all flesh, that he shuld geue eternall lyfe to as many as thou hast geuen him. ³ This is lyfe eternal, that they might knowe the, the onely true God, & Iesus Christ whom thou hast sent. ⁴ I haue glorifyed the on the erth. I haue finysshed the worcke, which thou gauest me to do. ⁵ And now glorifye thou me (O father) with thyne awne self, with the glory, which I had with the, yer the worlde was.

²⁴ whom God hath raysed vp, & loosed the sorowes of deeth, because it was vnpossible, that he shulde be holden of it. ²⁵ For Dauid speaketh of him. A fore hande I sawe God alwayes before me: for he is on my ryght hande, that I shulde not be moued. ²⁶ Therfore dyd my hert reioyce, & my tonge was glad. Moreouer also my flesshe shall rest in hope, ²⁷ because thou wilt not leaue my soule in hell, nether wilt thou suffre thine holye to se corrupcion. ²⁸ Thou hast shewed me the wayes of lyfe, thou shalt make me full of ioye with thy countenaunce. ²⁹ Ye men and brethren, let me frely speake vnto you of the patriarke Dauid: For he is both deed and buryed, and hys sepulchre remayneth with vs vnto this daye. ³⁰ Therfore, seinge he was a Prophet, and knewe that God had sworne with an othe to him, that Christ (as concerninge the flessh) shulde come of the frute of his loynes, and on hys seat, ³¹ he knowyng this before, spake of the resurreccyon of Chryst, that his soule shulde not be left in hell: nether hys flesshe shulde se corrupcyon. ³² This Iesus hath God raysed vp, wherof we all are witnesses. ³³ Sence now that he by the ryght hande of God exalted is, and hath receaued of the father the promyse of the holy Goost, he hath sheed forth thys which ye now se and heare. ³⁴ For Dauid is not ascendyd into heuen: but he sayeth: The Lord sayde to my Lorde: syt thou on my ryght hand, ³⁵ vntyll I make thy fooes thy fote stole. ³⁶ So therfore, let all the house of Israel knowe for a suerty, that God hath made that same Iesus (whom ye haue crucified) Lorde and Chryst.

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

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

⁵⁵ But he beyng ful of the holy ghost, loked vp stedfastlye wt hys eyes into heauen, and sawe the glorye of God, and Iesus standyng on the ryght hande of God, ⁵⁶ and sayd: beholde, I se the heauens open, and the sonne of man standyng on the right hand of God.

⁴⁰ Him God raysed vp the thyrd daye, & shewed him openly,

⁸ Why shulde it be thought a thynge incredyble vnto you, that God shulde rayse agayne the deed?

⁴ and hath bene declared to be the sonne of God wt power, after the sprete that sanctifyeth, sence the tyme that Iesus Chryst oure Lorde rose agayne from deeth

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. 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

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

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 Wherfore he sayth: whan he went vp an hye, he ledde captiuitye captyue, and gaue gyftes vnto men. ⁹ That he ascended: what meaneth it? but that he also descended fyrst into the lowest partes of the erth? ¹⁰ He that descended, is euen the same also that ascended vp, aboue all heauens, to fulfyll all thynges.

¹⁰ that I maye knowe hym and the vertue of hys resurrecyon, and the fellowshyppe of hys passyons, whyle I am conformable vnto hys (deeth)

¹ If ye be then rysen agayne with Chryst, seke those thynges which are aboue, where Chryst sytteth on the ryght hande of God.

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

⁹ Neuerthelesse, we se not yet all thynges subdued vnto him: but him that was made lesse then the angels, we se that it was Iesus, which is crowned with glory and honour for the sofferynge of death: that he by the grace of God, shulde tast of deeth for all men.

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

¹⁷ And when I saw him, I fell at his fete. euen as deed. And he layde his ryghte hande vpon me, saying vnto me: feare not. I am the fyrst & the laste,

²⁷ As for the kyngdome, power and all might that is vnder the heauen: it shalbe geuen to the holy people of the moost hyest, whose kyngdome is euerlastynge: yee, all powers shall serue and obeye hym.

³² And whosoeuer speaketh a worde agaynst the sonne of man, it shalbe forgeuen hym. But whosoeuer speaketh agaynst the holy gost, it shall not be forgeuen him, nether in this worlde, nether in the worlde to come:

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.

¹⁸ And Iesus came, and spake vnto them, sayinge: All power is geuen vnto me in heauen, & in erth. ¹⁹ Go ye therfore, & teach all nacions, baptising them in the name of the father, & of the sonne, & of the holy goost:

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

¹² Nether is there saluacyon in eny other. For amonge men vnder heauen there is geuen none other name, wherin we must be saued.

³⁸ For I am sure, that nether deeth, nether lyfe, nether Angels, nor rule, nether power, nether thynges present, nether thynges to come, ³⁹ nether heygth, nether loweth, nether eny other creature shal be able to departe vs from the loue of God, which is in Christ Iesu oure Lorde.

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.

¹⁵ which is the ymage of the inuisyble God, fyrst begotten of all creatures. 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,

¹⁰ and ye are complete in him: which is the heed of all rule and power,

¹⁵ and hath spoyled rule and power, and hath made a shewe of them openly, and hath triumphed ouer them in his awne person.

⁴ beynge so moch more excellent then the angels, as he hath by inherytaunce obteyned a more excellent name then they.

⁵ For vnto the angels hath he not subdued the worlde to come, wherof we speake,

¹⁴ Seynge then, that we haue a great hye prest which is entred into heauen (euen Iesus the sonne of God) let vs holde the profession.

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

¹² His eyes were as a flamme of fyre: & on his heed were many crownes: & he had a name wrytten, that noman knew but he hym selfe. ¹³ And he was clothed wyth a vesture dipt in bloude, & his name is called the worde of God.

¹⁰ and the deuyll that deceaued them, was cast into a lake of fyre and brymstone, where the beast and the false prophetes shalbe tormented daye and nyght for euermore. ¹¹ And I sawe a great whyte seate, and him that sate on it, from whose face fleed awaye both the erth and heauen, and their place was nomore founde. ¹² And I sawe the deed, both gret and small stonde before God: And the bokes were opened, and another boke was opened, which is the boke of lyfe, & the deed were iudged of those thynges whych were written in the bokes accordyng to their dedes: ¹³ and the see gaue vp her deed which were in her, and deeth and hell deliuered vp the deed, which were in them: & they were iudged euery man accordyng to his dedes. ¹⁴ And deeth and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the seconde deeth. ¹⁵ And whosoeuer was not founde wrytten in the boke of lyfe, was cast into the lake of fyre.

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.

⁶ Thou makest him to haue domynion in the workes of thy handes: and thou hast put all thynges in subieccion vnder his fete. ⁷ All shepe and oxen, ye and the beastes of the felde. ⁸ The foules of the ayre, and the fysshe of the see, & whatsoeuer walcketh thorow the pathes of the sees.

¹³ Thou shalt go vpon the Lyon and Adder, the yonge Lyon and the Dragon shalte thou treade vnder thy fete.

¹⁸ And I saye also vnto the that thou art Peter: & vpon this rocke I wil bylde my congregacion. And the gates of hell shal not preuayle agaynst it.

²⁵ For he must raygne tyll he haue put all his enemyes vnder his fete. ²⁶ The last enemye that shalbe destroyed, is deeth ²⁷ For he hath put all thynges vnder his fete. But when he sayth all thynges are put vnder him, it is manifest that he is excepted, which dyd put all thynges vnder him.

²³ For the husbande is the wyues heed, euen as Chryst is the heed of the congregacyon, and the same is he that ministreth saluacion vnto the body.

⁸ which also declared vnto vs youre loue which ye haue in the sprete.

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.

¹⁹ & holdeth not the heed, wherof all the body by ioyntes and couples receaueth norisshment & is knet together, and encreaseth with the increasynge that commeth of God.

¹⁵ but and yf I tarie longe, that then thou mayst yet haue knowledge, howe thou oughtest to behaue thy selfe in the house of God, whych is the congregacyon of the lyuynge God, the pyllar & grounde of trueth.

⁸ Thou hast put all thynges in subieccyon vnder hys fete. In that he put all thynges vnder him, he left nothynge that is not put vnder him.

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

⁵ Wherfore, ye must nedes obeye, not onely for feare of vengeaunce: but also because of conscience.

⁶ And ther are dyuers maners of operacyons, and yet but one God whych worcketh all in all.

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.

²⁸ When all thynges are subdued vnto him, then shall the sonne also him selfe be subiect vnto him, that put all thynges vnder him, that God maye be all in all.

¹⁶ and to reconcyle both vnto God in one body thorowe the crosse, & slewe hatred therby:

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

¹⁰ He that descended, is euen the same also that ascended vp, aboue all heauens, to fulfyll all thynges.

¹² to the edifyenge of the saynctes, to the worke and ministracyon, euen to the edifyinge of the body of Chryst,

²³ For the husbande is the wyues heed, euen as Chryst is the heed of the congregacyon, and the same is he that ministreth saluacion vnto the body. ²⁴ Therfore, as the congregacyon is in subieccyon to Chryst, lykewyse let the wyues also be in subieccyon to theyr husbandes in all thinges. ²⁵ Ye husbandes, loue youre wyues, euen as Chryst also loued the congregacyon, and gaue hym selfe for it, ²⁶ to sanctifye it, and clensed it in the fountayne of water thorow the worde, ²⁷ to make it vnto him selfe a gloryous congregacyon, without spot or wrynckle, or eny soche thynge: but that it shulde be holy, and without blame. ²⁸ So ought men to loue theyr wyues, as their awne bodyes. He that loueth hys wyfe, loueth hym selfe. ²⁹ For no man euer yet hated hys awne flesshe: but noryssheth and cherissheth it, euen as the Lorde doth the congregacyon. ³⁰ For we are members of his body, of his flesshe, and of hys bones. ³¹ For thys cause shall a man leaue father and mother, & shall be ioyned vnto his wyfe, and of two shalbe made one flesshe. ³² Thys is a greate secrete, but I speake of Chryst and of the congregacyon.

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

²⁴ Nowe ioye I in my sufferinges for you and fulfyll that which is behynde of the passyons of Christ in my flesshe, for hys bodies sake, which is the congregacyon:

⁹ For in hym dwelleth all the fulnes of the God heed bodely, ¹⁰ and ye are complete in him: which is the heed of all rule and power,
