Galatians 3 Cross References - Great

¹ O ye folysshe Galathyans: who hath bewitched you, that ye shulde not beleue the trueth? To whom Iesus Christ was described before the eyes and amonge you crucifyed. ² This only wold I learne of you whether ye receaued the spirite by the dedes of the lawe or by the preaching of the fayth? ³ Are ye soche fooles, that after ye haue begonne in the sprete, ye nowe ende in the flesshe? ⁴ So many thynges ye haue suffred in vayne, yf it be also in vayne. ⁵ Moreouer, he that minystreth to you the sprete, and worketh myracles amonge you, doeth he it thorowe the dedes of the lawe, or by preachyng of the fayth? ⁶ Euen as Abraham beleued God, & it was ascribed to hym for ryghtewesnesse. ⁷ Ye knowe therfore, that they which are of fayth, the same are the chyldren of Abraham. ⁸ For the scripture seinge afore hande, that God wold iustifye the Hethen thorowe fayth, shewed before hande glad tydynges vnto Abraham sayinge: In the shall all nacyons be blessed. ⁹ So then, they which be of fayth, are blessed with faythfull Abraham. ¹⁰ For as many as are of the dedes of the lawe, are subiecte to the curse. For it is written: cursed be euery one that contynueth not in all thinges which are written in the boke of the lawe to fulfyll them. ¹¹ That no man is iustifyed by the lawe in the syght of God, it is euydent. For the iuste shall lyue by fayth. ¹² The lawe is not of fayth: but the man that fulfylleth the thinges shal lyue in them. ¹³ Christ hath deliuered vs from the curse of the lawe, in as moche as he was made accursed for vs: For it is written: cursed is euery one, that hangeth on tree, ¹⁴ that the blessynge of Abraham myght come on the Gentyls thorowe Iesus Christ, that we myght receaue the promes of the sprete thorowe fayth. ¹⁵ Brethren, I speake after the maner of men. Though it be but a mans testament. Yet yf it be alowed, no man despyseth it: or addeth eny thynge thereto. ¹⁶ To Abraham and hys seede were the promyses made. He sayth not in the seedes, as many: but in thy seede, as of one, which is Christ. ¹⁷ Thys I saye, that the lawe which beganne afterwarde, beyonge foure hundred and thyrtye yeares, doeth not disanull the testament, that was comfermed afore of God vnto Christ ward, to make the promes of one effecte. ¹⁸ For yf the inheritaunce come of the lawe, it commeth not nowe of promesse. But God gaue it vnto Abraham by promes. ¹⁹ Wherfore then serueth the lawe? It was added because of transgression (tyll the seed came, to whom the promes was made) and it was ordeyned by angels in the hand of a mediator. ²⁰ A mediator is not a mediator of one, but God is one. ²¹ Is the lawe then agaynst the promes of God? God forbyd. For yf there had bene a lawe geuen which coulde haue geuen lyfe: then no doute ryghtewesnes shulde come by the lawe. ²² But the scripture concluded all thinges vnder synne, that the promes by the fayth of Iesus Christ shulde be geuen vnto them that beleue. ²³ But before that fayth came, we were kepte vnder the lawe, and were shut vp vnto the fayth which shulde afterwarde be declared. ²⁴ Wherfore, the lawe was oure scolemaster vnto Christ, that we shulde be iustifyed by fayth. ²⁵ But after that fayth is come, we are no lenger vnder the scolemaster. ²⁶ For ye are all chyldren of God, because ye beleue in Christ Iesu. ²⁷ For all ye that are baptised haue put on Christ. ²⁸ There is no Iewe, nether Gentyll: there is nether bonde, ner fre: there is nether man, ner woman. For ye are all one in Christ Iesu. ²⁹ If ye be Christes, then are ye Abrahams seede, and heyres accordynge to the promes.

⁶ Do ye so rewarde the Lorde, O foolyshe nacyon & vnwyse? Is not he thy father & thyne owner? hath he not made the, and ordeyned the?

¹³ And Samuel sayde to Saul thou art become a fole, thou hast not kept the commaundment of the Lord thy God, which he commaunded the. For at this tyme wold the Lord haue stablysshed thy kingdome vpon Israel for euer,

²⁶ And euery one that heareth of me these wordes, and doth them not shalbe likened vnto a folysh man, which built his house vpon sande:

²⁴ For there shall aryse false Chrystes, and false prophetes and shall shew great miracles, & wondres. In so moch (that yf it were possyble) the verie electe shuld be deceaued: ²⁵ And he sayde vnto them: O fooles & slowe of herte, to beleue all that the Prophetes haue spoken.

⁷ And the word of God encreased, and the nomber of the disciples multiplyed in Ierusalem greatly, and a greate companye of the prestes were obedient to the fayth.

⁹ But ther was a certen man called Symo, which before tyme in the same cytye vsed witchecrafte, and bewitched the people of Samary, saying that he was a man that coulde do great thynges. ¹⁰ Whom they regarded, from the lest to the greatest, sayinge: this man is the power of God, which is called greate. ¹¹ And him they sett moche by, because that of longe tyme he had bewitched them with sorceries.

⁸ But vnto them that are rebelles, and that do not obey the trueth, but folowe vnryghteousnes, shall come indignacyon and wrath,

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.

¹⁶ But they haue not all obeyed to the Gospell. For Esay sayth: Lorde, who hath beleued oure sayinges?

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.

² Nether shewed I my selfe that I knewe eny thynge amonge you, saue Iesus Christ, euen the same that was crucifyed.

²⁶ For as often as ye shall eate this breed, and drincke this cup: ye shall shewe the Lordes deeth tyll he come.

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

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

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

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

¹⁴ But when I sawe that they went not the right waye after the trueth of the Gospell, I sayde vnto Peter before them all: yf thou beynge a Iewe, lyuest after the maner of the Gentyls, and not as do the Iewes: why causest thou the Gentyls to lyue as do the Iewes?

³ Are ye soche fooles, that after ye haue begonne in the sprete, ye nowe ende in the flesshe?

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

⁷ Ye dyd runne well: who was a let vnto you, that ye shulde not beleue the trueth? ⁸ Euen the counsell which came not of hym that calleth you.

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

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

¹⁵ Take hede therfore howe ye walke circumspectly: not as vnwyse, but as wyse men.

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 euen hym whose commynge is after the workynge of Satan, with all lyinge power sygnes and wonders. ¹⁰ and with all deceauablenes of vnryghtwesnes, amonge them that perysshe: because they receaued not the loue of the trueth, that they myght be saued. ¹¹ And therfore, God shall sende them stronge delusyon, that they shulde beleue lyes: ¹² that all they myght be damned, whych beleued not the trueth: but had pleasure in vnryghtewesnes.

⁴ he is pufte vp, and knoweth nothynge: but wasteth hys braynes about questions and stryfe, of wordes, wherof sprynge enuye, stryfe, raylynges, euyll surmisynges,

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

⁸ By fayth Abraham, when he was called obeyed, to go out into a place, which he shuld afterwarde receaue to inheritaunce: & he went out, not knowing whether he shuld go.

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 For the tyme is come, that iudgement must begynne at the house of God. If it fyrst begynne at vs, what shall the ende be of them, whych beleue not the Gospell of God?

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

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

¹³ And he dyd grett wonders, so that he made fyre come doune from heauen in the syght of men. ¹⁴ And deceaued them that dwelt on the erth, by the meanes of those sygnes whyche he had power to do in the syght of the beast, sayinge to them that dwelt on the erth: that they shuld make an ymage vnto the beast, whych had the wounde of a swearde, and dyd lyue.

³ for all nacyons haue dronken of the wyne of the wrath of her fornicacion. And the kynges of the earth haue commytted fornicacion wyth her, and the merchauntes of the erth are wexed ryche of the aboundaunce of her pleasures.

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.

¹⁵ Which whan they were come downe, prayed for them, that they might receaue the holy ghost.

⁴⁴ Whyle Peter yet spake these wordes, the holy ghost fell on all them which heard the preachyng. ⁴⁵ And they of the circumcisyon which beleued, were astonnied, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentils also was shed out the gyft of the holy ghost. ⁴⁶ For they hearde them speake with tonges, & magnify God. Then answered Peter: ⁴⁷ can eny man forbyd water, that these shuld not be baptysed, which haue receaued the holy ghost as well as we?

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

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

² and sayde vnto them haue ye receaued the holy ghost, sence ye beleued? And they sayde vnto hym: no, we haue not hearde whether ther be eny holy ghost or no. ³ And he sayde vnto them. wherwith were ye then baptysed? And they sayde: with Iohns baptyme. ⁴ Then sayde Paul: Iohn verely baptysed with the baptim of repentaunce, sayinge vnto the people that they shulde beleue on hym, which shuld come after him: that is on Christ Iesus. ⁵ When they hearde thys, they were baptysed in the name of the Lorde Iesu. ⁶ And whan Paul layde hys handes vpon them. the holy ghost came on them, and they spake with tonges, and prophesyed,

¹⁷ For by it is the ryghtewesnes of God opened from fayth to fayth.

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.

⁷ The gyfte of the sprete is geuen to euery man, to edifye withall, 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. ⁹ To another is geuen fayth, by the same sprete. To another the gyftes of healinge by the same sprete. ¹⁰ To another power to do miracles. To another prophesye. To another iudgement to discerne spretes. To another diuers tonges. To another the interpretacyon of tonges: ¹¹ But these all worketh euen the selfe same sprete, diuidynge to euery man a seuerall gyfte, euen as he wyll. 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.

⁴ For yf he that commeth preache another Iesus then hym whom we preached: or yf ye receaue another sprete then that which ye haue receaued, ether another Gospell then that ye haue receaued, ye might right well haue bene content.

⁵ Moreouer, he that minystreth to you the sprete, and worketh myracles amonge you, doeth he it thorowe the dedes of the lawe, or by preachyng of the fayth?

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.

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.

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

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,

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

⁷ Wherfore nowe, thou art not a seruaunt: but a sonne. If thou be a sonne, thou arte also an heyre of God, thorowe Christ. ⁸ Notwithstandynge, when ye knewe not God, ye dyd seruice vnto them which by nature are no Goddes. ⁹ But nowe after that ye haue knowen God (yee rather are knowen of God) how is it that ye tourne agayn vnto the weake and beggarly ordinaunces, wherunto agayne ye desyre afresshe to be in bondage? ¹⁰ Ye obserue dayes, and monethes, and tymes, and yeares.

⁴ Christ is become but in vayne vnto you. As many of you as are iustifyed by the lawe are fallen from grace. ⁵ We loke for, and hope in the sprete to be iustifyed thorowe fayth. ⁶ For in Iesu Christ, nether is circumcisyon any thynge worth, nether yet vncircumcysion but faith which worketh by loue.

¹² As many as desire with vtwarde apperaunce to please carnally, the same constrayne you to be circumcised, onely lest they shulde suffre persecutyon for the crosse of Christ. ¹³ For they them selues which are circumcysed, kepe not the lawe, but desyre to haue you circumcysed, that they myght reioyce in youre flesshe. ¹⁴ God forbyd that I shulde reioyce, but in the crosse of oure Lorde Iesu Christ, wherby the worlde is crucifyed vnto me, & I vnto the worlde.

¹⁶ whych is not made after the lawe of the carnall commaundement: but after the power of the endlesse lyfe. ¹⁷ (For after thys maner doth he testifie thou art a prest for euer, after the order of Melchisedech) ¹⁸ Then the commaundement that went afore, is disanulled, because of weaknes and vnproffytablenes. ¹⁹ For the lawe brought nothynge to perfeccion: but was an introduccyon to a better hope, by the whych we drawe nye vnto God.

² For there was a fore tabernacle made, wherin was the lyght, and the table, and the shewe breed, whych hys called holy.

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

²⁴ Agayne: yf the ryghtuous turne awaye from his ryghtuousnes, and do iniquyte, accordynge to all the abhominacyons, that the wicked man doth: shall he lyue? All the ryghtuousnes that he hath done, shall not be thought vpon: but in the faute that he hath offended withall, and in the synne that he hath done, he shall dye.

² by the which also ye are saued: I do you to wit, after what maner I preached vnto you, yf ye kepe it, except ye haue beleued in vayne.

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, ⁵ and haue tasted of the good worde of God, and of the power of the worlde to come: ⁶ yf they fall awaye (and as concernynge them selues crucifye the sonne of God a fresshe, and make a mocke of him) that they shulde be renued agayne by repentaunce.

³² Call to remembraunce the dayes that are passed, in the whych after ye had receaued lyght, ye endured a greate fyght of aduersities, ³³ partly whyle all men wondred & gased at you for the shame and tribulacyon on that was done vnto you: partly, whyle ye became companyons of them which so passed their tyme. ³⁴ For ye became parttakers also of the afflyccyons whych happened thorow my bondes, & toke in worth the spoylyng of your goodes, & that wyth gladnes: knowynge in your selues, how that ye haue in heauen a better & an enduring substaunce. ³⁵ Cast not awaye therfore your confydence, whych hath a great recompence of rewarde. ³⁶ For ye haue nede of pacyence, that after ye haue done the wyll of God, ye myght receaue the promes. ³⁷ For yet a very lytell whyle, & he that shall come wyll come, & wyll not tary. ³⁸ But the iust shall lyue by faith. And yf he withdrawe him selfe, my soule shall haue no pleasure in him. ³⁹ It is not we that withdrawe our selues vnto dampnacion, but we partayne vnto fayth, to the wynnynge of the soule.

²⁰ For yf they (after they haue escaped from the fylthynes of the worlde thorow the knowledge of the Lord and the sauyour Iesu Christ) are yet tangled againe therin, and ouercome then is the latter ende worse wyth them then the begynninge. ²¹ For it had bene better for them, not to haue knowne the waye of ryghteousnes, then after they haue knowen it, to turne from the holy commaundement that was geuen vnto them: ²² But the same is happened vnto them that is vsed to be spoken by the true prouerbe. The dogge is turned to his awne vomet agayne and the sow that was wasshed is turned agayne to her walowynge in the myer.

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

³ Longe tyme abode they there, and quyt them selues boldly with the helpe of the Lord, which gaue testimony vnto the worde of his grace, & graunted sygnes and wondres to be done by their handes.

⁹ The same hearde Paul preache. Which beholdynge hym, and perceauynge that he had fayth to be whole, ¹⁰ sayd with a loude voyce: stande vpryght on thy fete: And he stert vp, and walked.

¹¹ And God wrought speciall myracles by the handes of Paul: ¹² so that from his body, were brought vnto the sicke, napkins & partelettes, & the diseases departed from them, and the euyll spretes went out of them.

¹⁹ in myghty sygnes & wonders, by the power of the sprete of God: so that from Ierusalem & the coastes rounde aboute vnto Illyrycum, I haue fylled all countres with the Gospell of Christ.

⁴ I thanke my God allwayes on youre behalfe, for the grace of God, whych is geuen you by Iesus Christ, ⁵ that in all thynges ye are made ryche by hym, in all vtteraunce & in all knowlegde,

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

⁸ why shall not the ministracyon of the sprete be moch more gloryous?

⁴ For the weapens of oure warrefare are not carnall thynges, but thynges myghty in God, to cast downe stronge holdes,

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

³ seynge that ye seke experience of Christ which speaketh in me, which among you is not weake but is myghtye in you.

² This only wold I learne of you whether ye receaued the spirite by the dedes of the lawe or by the preaching of the fayth?

⁶ And Abram beleued the Lorde, and that counted he to hym for ryghtewesnes.

³ For what sayth the scripture? Abraham beleued God, and it was counted vnto him for ryghtewesnes. ⁴ To hym that worketh, is the rewarde not reckned of fauoure, but of dutye. ⁵ To hym that worketh not, but beleueth on him that iustifyeth the vngodly, is his fayth counted for ryghtewesnes. ⁶ Euen as Dauid describeth the blessedfulnes of that man, vnto whom God imputeth ryghtewesnes wythout dedes.

⁹ Came this blessednes then vpon the vncircumcisyon, or vpon the circumcisyon also? For we saye, that fayth was rekened to Abraham for ryghtewesnes. ¹⁰ How was it then rekened? whan he was in the circumcisyon? or whan he was in the vncircumcysyon? Not in the tyme of circumcisyon: but when he was yet vncircumcised. 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:

²¹ beynge full certifyed, that he whych had promised the same was able also to make it good. ²² And therfore was it reckened to hym for ryghtewesnes.

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

³² Wherfore? euen because they sought it not by fayth: but as it were by the workes of the lawe. For they haue stombled at the stombylynge stone. ³³ As it is wrytten: Behold, I put in Syon a stomblynge stone, & a rocke that men shalbe offended at. And whosoeuer beleueth on hym, shall not be confounded.

¹⁹ For God was in Christ, and made agrement betwene the worlde and him selfe, & imputed not their synnes vnto them, and hath commytted to vs the preachynge of the attonement. ²⁰ Now then are we messengers in the rowme of Christ euen as though God dyd beseche you thorow vs. So praye we you in Christes stede, that ye be reconcyled vnto God: ²¹ for he made him to be synne for vs, which knewe no synne, that we by his meanes shulde be that ryghtewesnes, which before God is alowed.

⁹ So then, they which be of fayth, are blessed with faythfull Abraham.

²³ & the scripture was fulfylled, which sayth: Abraham beleued God, and it was reputed vnto hym for ryghtewesnes: & he was called the frende of God.

³ It is he that hath made vs, and not we oure selues: we are his people, and the shepe of his pasture.

⁹ Iesus sayde vnto him: this daye is health happened vnto thys house, because that he also is become the chylde of Abraham:

³¹ So lykewyse ye also (when ye se these thynges come to passe) be sure, that the kyngdome of God is nye.

³⁹ They answered and sayde vnto him: Abraham is oure father. Iesus sayeth vnto them: If ye were Abrahams children, ye wolde do the dedes of Abraham.

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: ¹² and that he myght be father of circumcisyon, not vnto them onely whych came of the circumcised, but vnto them also that walke in the steppes of the fayth that was in oure father Abraham, before the tyme of circumcisyon. ¹³ For the promes (that he shuld be the heyre of the worlde) happened not to Abraham or to his seed thorow the lawe: but thorow the ryghtewesnes of fayth. ¹⁴ For yf they whych are of the lawe, be heyres, then is fayth but vayne and the promes of none effecte. ¹⁵ Because the lawe causeth wrath. For where no lawe is, there is no transgressyon. ¹⁶ Therfore by fayth is the inheritaunce geuen, that it myght come of fauoure: that the promes myght be sure to all the seed. Not to them onely whych are of the lawe: but to them also which are of the fayth of Abraham, which is the father of vs all.

⁷ nether are they all chyldren strayght waye, that are the seed of Abraham. But in Isaac shall thy seed be called: ⁸ that is to saye: they which are the chyldren of the flesshe, are not the children of God. But they which be the chyldren of promes, are counted the seede.

²⁶ For ye are all chyldren of God, because ye beleue in Christ Iesu. ²⁷ For all ye that are baptised haue put on Christ. ²⁸ There is no Iewe, nether Gentyll: there is nether bonde, ner fre: there is nether man, ner woman. For ye are all one in Christ Iesu. ²⁹ If ye be Christes, then are ye Abrahams seede, and heyres accordynge to the promes.

²³ Ye knowe our brother Timothe, that he is at libertye: with whom (yf he come shortly) I wyll se you.

³ I wyll also blesse them that blesse the, & cursse suche as curseth the, & in the shall all the kynreds of the erth be blessed.

¹⁸ seynge that Abraham shall be a great and a myghtie people, and all the nacyons of the erth shalbe blessed in him?

¹⁸ And in thy seed shall all the nacions of the erth be blessed, because thou hast herde my voyce.

⁴ and wyll multiplye thy seed as the starres of heauen, and wyll geue vnto thy seed all these contreys. And in thy seed shall all the nacyons of the erth be blessed,

¹⁴ And thy seed shall be as the dust of the erth: and thou shalt spreade abrode to the west, to the east, to the north and to the south. And thorowe the and in thy seed shall all the kynredes of the erth be blessed.

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.

⁷ In his tyme shall the ryghteous florish, yee, and aboundaunce of peace, so longe as the mone endureth,

¹³ yet in yt shall succeade .x. kinges, and the lande shall retorne and be layde waste. And as The terebint tre and oke in winter cast ther leaues, and yet haue ther sappe in them so shall the holy sead contynue in theyr substance.

⁹ But I wyll take a sede out of Iacob, & out of Iuda one, to take possession of my hyll. My chosen shall possesse these thinges, & my seruauntes shall dwell there.

³⁸ He that beleueth on me (as sayeth the scripture) out of his belly shall flowe ryuers of water of lyfe.

⁴² Sayeth not the scripture, that Christ shall come of the seed of Dauid: and out of the towne of Bethleem where Dauid was?

³⁷ And agayne another scripture sayeth: they shal loke on him, whom they pearsed.

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,

³⁵ vntyll I make thy fooes thy fote stole.

¹⁵ And to this agree the wordes of the prophetes, as it is written: ¹⁶ After this I wyll returne, and wyll buylde agayne the tabernacle of Dauid, which is fallen downe and that which is fallen in decaye of it, wyll I buylde agayne, and I wyll set it vp, ¹⁷ that the resydue of men myght seke after the Lord & also the Gentyls vpon whom my name is named sayth the Lorde, which doth all these thynges: ¹⁸ knowen vnto God are all hys workes from the begynning of the world.

²⁸ Therfore we holde, that a man is iustifyed by fayth without the dedes of the lawe: ²⁹ Is he the God of the Iewes onely? Is he not also the God of the Gentyls? Yes, euen of the Gentyls also. ³⁰ For it is God only which iustifyeth the circumcisyon that is of fayth, and vncircumcisyon thorow fayth

¹⁷ For the scripture sayth vnto Pharao: euen for thys same purpose haue I stered the vp, to shewe my power on the, and that my name myght be declared thorow out all the worlde.

³⁰ What shall we saye then? We saye, that the gentyls which folowed not ryghtewesnes, haue ouertaken ryghtewesnes: euen the ryghtewesnes which cometh of fayth.

¹⁶ To Abraham and hys seede were the promyses made. He sayth not in the seedes, as many: but in thy seede, as of one, which is Christ.

²² But the scripture concluded all thinges vnder synne, that the promes by the fayth of Iesus Christ shulde be geuen vnto them that beleue.

³⁰ Neuerthelesse, what sayth the scripture: put awaye the bonde woman and her sonne. For the sonne of the bonde woman shall not be heyre with the sonne of the fre woman.

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

² For vnto vs is it declared, as well as vnto them. But it proffyted not them, that they hearde the worde: because they whych hearde it, coupled it not with fayth.

¹⁵ And the seuenth Angell blewe, & ther were made greate voyces in heauen, sayinge: the kyngdoms of this worlde are oure lordes, and his Christes, & he shall raygne for euermore.

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:

¹⁶ Therfore by fayth is the inheritaunce geuen, that it myght come of fauoure: that the promes myght be sure to all the seed. Not to them onely whych are of the lawe: but to them also which are of the fayth of Abraham, which is the father of vs all.

⁷ Ye knowe therfore, that they which are of fayth, the same are the chyldren of Abraham. ⁸ For the scripture seinge afore hande, that God wold iustifye the Hethen thorowe fayth, shewed before hande glad tydynges vnto Abraham sayinge: In the shall all nacyons be blessed.

²⁹ If ye be Christes, then are ye Abrahams seede, and heyres accordynge to the promes.

²⁸ Brethren, we are after Isaac, the children of promes.

²⁶ Beholde, I set before you thys daye, a blessynge & a curs ²⁷ a blessynge: yf ye obeye the commaundmentes of the Lorde youre God whych I commaunde you thys daye. ²⁸ And a curse: yf ye wyll not obeye the commaundmentes of the Lorde youre God: but turne out of the waye, whych I commaunde you thys daye, to go after straunge goddes, whych ye haue not knowen.

²⁶ Cursed be he that contynueth not in all the wordes of thys lawe to do them, and all the people shall saye, Amen.

²⁰ And so the Lorde wyll not consent to be mercyfull vnto hym, but then the wrath of the Lorde and hys gelousye shall smoke agaynst that man, & all the curses that are wryten in this boke shall lyght vpon hym, and the Lorde shall do out hys name from vnder heauen,

²⁸ Therfore I ether suspended, or slue the chefest prynces. I dyd curse Iacob, and gaue Israel into reprofe.

³ And saye thou vnto them. Thus sayeth the Lord God of Israell: Cursed be euery one that is not obedient vnto the wordes of this couenaunt:

⁴ Beholde all soules are myne. Lyke as the father is myne, so is the sonne myne also. The soule that synneth, shall dye.

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

⁹ And he tolde this parable, vnto certayne which trusted in them selues that they were perfecte, and despysed other ¹⁰ Two men went vp into the temple to praye: the one a Pharise, and the other a publican. ¹¹ The Pharyse stode and prayed thus with hym selfe: God, I thancke the, that I am not as other men are, extorsioners, vniuste, aduoutrers, or as this publycan. ¹² I fast twyse in the weke. I geuetythe of all that I possesse. ¹³ And the publican stondyng a farre of, wolde not lyfte vp his eyes to heauen, but smote vpon hys brest, saying: God be mercyfull to me a synner:

¹⁹ We knowe that what thynges soeuer the lawe sayth, it sayth it to them which are vnder the lawe. That all mouthes maye be stopped, & that all the worlde maye be subdued to God, ²⁰ because that by the dedes of the lawe ther shall no flesshe be iustifyed in hys syght. For by the lawe commeth the knowledge of sinne.

¹⁵ Because the lawe causeth wrath. For where no lawe is, there is no transgressyon.

²³ For the rewarde of synne is deeth. but eternall lyfe is the gyfte of God, thorow Iesus Christ oure Lorde.

⁹ I once lyued wythout lawe. But when the commaundement came, synne reuiued, and I was deed. ¹⁰ And the very same commaundement, whych was ordeyned vnto lyfe, was founde to be vnto me an occasyon of deeth. ¹¹ For synne toke occasyon by the meanes of the commaundement, and so disceaued me, & by the same slewe me. ¹² Wherfore the lawe is holy, and the commaundement holy, and iust and good. ¹³ Was that then which was good, made deeth vnto me? God forbyd. Naye it was synne: that sinne might appeare (by it which was good) to worke deeth in me: that synne by the commaundement myght be out of measure synfull.

⁷ Because that the flesshly mynde is enemyte agaynst God: for it is not obedyent to the lawe of God, nether can be.

¹⁶ knowe that a man is not iustifyed by the dedes of the lawe, but by the fayth of Iesus Christ: And we haue beleued on Iesus Chryst, that we might be iustifyed by the faith of Christ, and not by the dedes of the lawe: because by the dedes of the lawe no flesshe shalbe iustifyed.

⁹ But yf ye regarde one person more then another, ye commyt synne, & are rebuked of the lawe, as transgressours. ¹⁰ Whosoeuer shall kepe the whole lawe, & yet fayle in one poynt, he is gyltie of all. ¹¹ For he that sayd: Thou shalt not commyt adulterye, sayde also thou shalt not kyll. Though thou do none adulterye, yet yf thou kyll, thou art become a transgressor of the lawe.

⁴⁶ Yf they synne aganst the (for there is no man that synneth not) and thou be angrie with them, and delyuer them into the hande of theyr enemyes: so that they carye them awaye prysoners vnto the lande of theyr enemyes, whether farre or neare,

³ If he will argue with him, he shall not be able to answere hym vnto one amonge a thousande.

⁴ Beholde. I am to vyle a personne, to answere the, therfore wyll I laye my hande vpon my mouth.

⁶ Wherfore, I geue myne awne selfe the blame, and take repentaunce in the dust and asshes.

¹² Who can tell, howe oft he offendeth? Oh clense thou me fro secrete fautes.

³ If thou Lorde wylt be extreme to marcke what is done amysse, Oh Lorde who maye abyde it? ⁴ For there is mercy wyth the, therfore shalt thou be feared.

² And entre not into iudgement with thy seruaunt: for in thy sight shall no man lyuinge be iustifyed.

²⁰ for there is not one iust vpon earth, that doth good, and synneth not.

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

⁶ As for vs, we haue gone all astraye (like shepe) euery one hath turned his awne way. But the Lorde hath heaped together vpon him the iniquitie of vs all.

⁶ We are all as an vnclene thynge, & all oure ryghteousnes are as the clothes stayned with the floures of a woman: we fall euerychone as the leafe, for oure synnes cary vs awaye lyke the wynde.

⁴ Beholde, the vnrighteouse thinketh him selfe in sauegarde as in a strong holde: but the iust shal lyue by his fayth.

³⁸ But the iust shall lyue by faith. And yf he withdrawe him selfe, my soule shall haue no pleasure in him.

² for in many thinges we synne all. If a man synne not in worde, the same is a perfecte man, & able also to tame all the body.

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. ¹⁰ If we saye we haue not synned, we make hym a lyar, and hys worde is not in vs.

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,

¹⁴ And I sayde vnto him: Lord thou wotest. And he sayde to me: these are they, whych came out of great tribulacyon, & made their garmentes large, & made them white by the bloude of the lambe: ¹⁵ therfore are they in the presence of the seate of God & serue hym daye & nyght in his temple, & he that sytteth in the seate wyll dwell amonge them.

⁵ Ye shall kepe therfore myne ordinaunces, & my iudgementes whiche yf a man doo, he shall lyue in them. I am the Lorde.

²⁹ & testyfyedst vnto them, that thou myghtest bryng them agayne vnto thy lawe. Not withstandyng, they were proude, & herkened not vnto thy commaundementes, but synned in thy lawes (whych yf a man do he shall lyue in them,) and turned the shoulder awaye, and were styffnecked, and wolde not heare.

¹¹ I gaue them my commaundementes, & shewed them my lawes, which whoso kepeth shall lyue in them:

¹³ And yet the house of Israel rebelled agaynst me in the wyldernesse, they wolde not walcke in my commaundementes, they haue cast a waye my lawes (which whoso kepeth shulde lyue in them) and my Sabboth dayes haue they greatly vnhalowed. Then I made me to poure out myne indignacyon vpon them, & to consume them in the wyldernesse.

¹⁷ He sayd vnto him: why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, & that is God. But yf thou wilt entre into lyfe, kepe the commaundementes.

²⁵ And behold a certayne lawyer stode vp, & tempted him, saying. Master, what shall I do, to inheret eternall lyfe? ²⁶ He sayde vnto him: What is written in the lawe? How redest thou? ²⁷ And he answered and sayde: loue the Lorde thy God, with all thy hert, & with all thy soule, & with all thy strength, & with all thy mynde: and thy neyghbour as thy selfe. ²⁸ And he sayde vnto him: Thou hast answered right. This do, and thou shalt lyue.

⁴ To hym that worketh, is the rewarde not reckned of fauoure, but of dutye. ⁵ To hym that worketh not, but beleueth on him that iustifyeth the vngodly, is his fayth counted for ryghtewesnes.

¹⁴ For yf they whych are of the lawe, be heyres, then is fayth but vayne and the promes of none effecte.

³⁰ What shall we saye then? We saye, that the gentyls which folowed not ryghtewesnes, haue ouertaken ryghtewesnes: euen the ryghtewesnes which cometh of fayth. ³¹ Contrary wyse, Israel which folowed the lawe of rightwesnes could not attaine to the lawe of ryghtewsnes. ³² Wherfore? euen because they sought it not by fayth: but as it were by the workes of the lawe. For they haue stombled at the stombylynge stone.

⁵ For Moses wrytteth of the ryghtewesnes which cometh of the lawe, how that the man whych doth the thynges of the lawe, shall lyue therby. ⁶ But the ryghtewesnes which cometh of fayth, speaketh on thys wyse: Saye not thou in thyne hert. who shall ascende into heauen (that is euen to fetch Chryst downe from aboue.)

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.

²³ hys body shall not remayne all nyghte vpon the tree, but thou shalt burye hym the same daye. For the curse of God is on him that is hanged. Defyle not thou thy lande, whych the Lorde thy God geueth the to enheret.

²⁶ And then Iosua smote them, and slewe them, & hanged them on fyue trees. And they hanged still vpon the trees vntill the euening. ²⁷ And at the going doune of the sonne it fortuned that Iosua gaue commaundement, and they toke them doune of the trees, and cast them into the caue, (where in they had bene hyd), & layed great stones on the caues mouthe, which remayne vnto this daye.

²³ And when Ahithophel sawe, that his councell was not folowed, he sadelled his Asse, & arose, & gate hym home to hys awne house, and to hys awne cytie, and put hys housholde in order, and hanged him selfe, and dyed, and was buryed in the sepulchre of hys father.

¹⁰ And one that saw it tolde Ioab, sayeng: beholde, I sawe Absalom hange in an Ocke:

¹⁴ Then sayde Ioab: I may not stande thus taryeng wyth the. And he toke thre speares in his hande, & thrust them thorowe Absalom, while he was yet a lyue on the bodye of the tree. ¹⁵ And ten seruauntes that bare Ioabs wepons, turned, and smote Absalom and slue him.

³ Wherfore Dauid sayde vnto them, what shall I do for you, and wherwith shall I make the attonement, that ye maye blesse the enheritaunce of the Lorde?

⁹ And he delyuered them vnto the handes of the Gibeonites, which hanged them in the hill before the Lorde. And they fell all seuen togeather, and were slayne in the dayes of heruest: euen in the fyrst dayes, and in the beginnynge of Barley heruest:

¹⁹ Because thyne herte dyd melt, and because thou hast humbled thy selfe before me the Lorde, when thou heardest what I spake agaynst thys place, and agaynst the enhabiters of the same (howe that they shulde be destroyed and acursed:) and hast rent thy clothes and wepte before me: of that also haue I hearde, sayth the Lorde.

¹⁰ So they hanged Haman on the galowes, that he had made for Mardocheus. Then was the kynges wrath pacified.

¹⁴ And the kynge charged to do so, and the commaundement was deuised at Susan, & they hanged Hamans ten sonnes.

⁵ Lo, thou shalt call an vnknowne people: & a people that had not knowledge of the, shall runne vnto the: because of the Lord thy God, and the holy one of Israel, whych glorifyeth the. 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.

¹⁰ And lyke as the rayne & snowe commeth downe from heauen, and returneth not thyther agayne, but watereth the earth, maketh it frutefull and grene, that it maye geue corne vnto the sower, and breade to hym that eateth. ¹¹ So the worde also that commeth out of my mouth shall not turne againe voyde vnto me, but shall accomplyshe my wyll and prospere in the thynge wherto I sende it. ¹² And so shall ye goo forth wt ioye, & be led wt peace. The mountaynes & hylles shall synge wyth you for ioye, & all the trees of the felde shall clappe theyr handes.

²² In somoch that the Lorde might no longer suffer the wyckednes of youre inuencyons, and the abhomynable thynges, which ye dyd? Is not youre lande desolate and voyde: yee, abhorred and accursed, so that no man dwelleth therein eny more, as it is come to passe thys daye?

¹³ For why? I haue sworne by my selfe, sayth the Lorde, that Bozrah shall become a wyldernes, an open shame, a laughyng stocke and cursynge: and all her cyties shalbe a continuall deserte.

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.

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.

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.

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

⁵ And he cast downe the syluer plates in the temple, and departed and went and hanged hym selfe.

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

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.

²⁵ whych was delyuered for oure synnes, and was raysed agayne for oure iustificacyon.

³ For what the lawe could not do (in as moch as it was weake because of the flesshe) that performed God, and sent hys sonne in the similitude of synfull flesshe, ⁴ and by synne dampned synne in the flesshe: that the ryghtewesnes of the lawe, myght be fulfylled in vs, which walke not after the flesshe, but after the sprete.

³ For I haue wysshed my selfe to be cursed from Chryst, for my brethren (my kynsmen as pertaynynge to the flesshe)

²¹ for he made him to be synne for vs, which knewe no synne, that we by his meanes shulde be that ryghtewesnes, which before God is alowed.

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

⁵ to redeme them which were bonde vnto the lawe: that we (thorowe eleccion) might receaue the inheritaunce that belongeth vnto the naturall sonnes.

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

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.

²⁶ For soch an hye Prest it became vs to haue, which is holy, harmlesse, vndefiled, separate from synners, made hyer then heauen. ²⁷ Which nedeth not dayly (as yonder hye prestes) to offer vp sacrifice. Fyrst for his awne synnes and then for the peoples synnes. For that dyd he once, when he offered vp him self.

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.

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.

²⁶ for then must he haue often offered sence the worlde began. But now in the ende of the worlde, hath he appeared once, to put sinne to flight by the offerynge vp of him selfe.

²⁸ euen so Christ was once offered, to take awaye the sinnes of many, & vnto them that loke for hym shall he appeare agayne without synne vnto saluacyon.

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.

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

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.

¹ My lytell chyldren, these thinges write I vnto you, that ye synne not. And yf eny man synne, we haue an aduocate wyth the father, Iesus christ, the ryghteous: ² & he it is that obtayneth grace for oure synnes, not for oure synnes onely: but also for the synnes of all the worlde.

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

⁵ & from Iesus Christ, which is a faythfull wytnes, & fyrst begotten of the deed: & Lorde ouer the kynges of the erth. Unto him that loued vs, and wesshed vs from oure synnes in hys awne bloude,

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.

² And I wyll make of the a greate people, and wyll blesse the, & make thy name greate, that thou mayest be euen a blessynge. ³ I wyll also blesse them that blesse the, & cursse suche as curseth the, & in the shall all the kynreds of the erth be blessed.

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

⁸ But thou Israel art my seruaunte: thou Iacob art electe, thou art the sede of Abraham my beloued

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

⁶ And he sayde: It is but a small thinge that thou art my seruaunt, to sett vp the kynreddes of Iacob, and to restore the destruccyon of Israel. For I haue made the the light of the Gentyls, that thou mayst be my health vnto the ende of the worlde.

² Considre Abraham your father, & Sara that bare you: howe that I called him alone, & blessed hym, and encreased him ³ Therfore shall the Lorde comforte Syon, & repayre all her decaye: making her deserte as a paradise, & her wildernesse as the garden of the Lorde. Myrth and ioye shalbe founde there, thankesgeuing & the voyce of prayse.

¹⁰ The Lorde hath made bare hys holy arme, and shewed it forth in the syght of all the Gentiles, & all the endes of the earth hath sene the sauinge health of our God.

¹⁹ wher thorowe the name of the Lorde myght be feared, from the rysynge of the Sunne: and hys magesty, vnto the goinge downe of the same. For he shall come as a violent waterstreame, whych the wynde of the Lorde hath moued. ²⁰ But vnto Sion there shall come a redemer, and vnto them in Iacob that turne from wyckednesse, sayeth the Lorde. ²¹ I wyll make thys couenaunt wyth them (sayth the Lorde:) My sprete that is vpon the, and the wordes which I haue put in thy mouth, shall neuer go out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy chylders chyldren, from thys tyme forth for euermore worlde wythout ende sayth the Lorde.

³³ But this shalbe the couenaunt that I wyll make with the house of Israel after those dayes, sayth the Lorde. I will plante my lawe in the inward partes of them, and wryte it in their hertes, & wilbe their God, and they shalbe my people.

⁴⁰ And I wyll sett vp an euerlastyng couenaunt with them. Namelye, that I wyll neuer ceasse to do them good, and that I wyll put my feare in their hertes, so that they shall not runne awaye from me.

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

²⁶ A new herte also will I geue you, and a new sprete will I put into you. As for that stony herte, I will take it out of youre body, & geue you a fleshly herte. ²⁷ I will geue my sprete amonge you & cause you to walcke in my commaundementes to kepe my lawes, and to fulfill them.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

³² And we are recordes of these thinges which we saye, and so is also the holy goost, whom God hath geuen to them that obey him.

¹⁵ And as I beganne to preach, the holy ghost fell on them, as he dyd on vs at the begynninge. ¹⁶ Then came it to my remembraunce, howe that the Lorde sayd: Iohn baptised wt water, but ye shalbe baptised with the holy ghost.

³ For what sayth the scripture? Abraham beleued God, and it was counted vnto him for ryghtewesnes. ⁴ To hym that worketh, is the rewarde not reckned of fauoure, but of dutye. ⁵ To hym that worketh not, but beleueth on him that iustifyeth the vngodly, is his fayth counted for ryghtewesnes. 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. ¹⁰ How was it then rekened? whan he was in the circumcisyon? or whan he was in the vncircumcysyon? Not in the tyme of circumcisyon: but when he was yet vncircumcised. 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: ¹² and that he myght be father of circumcisyon, not vnto them onely whych came of the circumcised, but vnto them also that walke in the steppes of the fayth that was in oure father Abraham, before the tyme of circumcisyon. ¹³ For the promes (that he shuld be the heyre of the worlde) happened not to Abraham or to his seed thorow the lawe: but thorow the ryghtewesnes of fayth. ¹⁴ For yf they whych are of the lawe, be heyres, then is fayth but vayne and the promes of none effecte. ¹⁵ Because the lawe causeth wrath. For where no lawe is, there is no transgressyon. ¹⁶ Therfore by fayth is the inheritaunce geuen, that it myght come of fauoure: that the promes myght be sure to all the seed. Not to them onely whych are of the lawe: but to them also which are of the fayth of Abraham, which is the father of vs all. ¹⁷ (As it is wrytten: I haue made the a father of many nacyons) euen before God, whom he beleued, whych restoreth the deed vnto lyfe: and calleth those thynges whych be not, as though they were.

⁹ But ye are not in the flesshe, but in the sprete: yf so be that the sprete of God dwell in you. If eny man haue not the spryte of Chryst, the same is none of hys. ¹⁰ If Chryst be in you, the body is deed because of synne: but the spryte is lyfe for ryghtewesnes sake. ¹¹ Wherfore, yf the spryte of hym that raysed vp Iesus from deeth, dwell in you: euen he that raysed vp Chryst from deeth, shall quycken youre mortall bodyes, because of hys sprete that dwelleth in you. ¹² Therfore brethren, we are detters, not to the flesshe, ¹³ to lyue after the fleshe. For yf ye lyue after the fleshe, ye shal dye. But yf ye (thorowe the sprete) do mortyfye the dedes of the body, ye shall lyue. 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.

²⁶ Lyke wyse, the sprete also helpeth oure infirmyties. For we knowe not what to desyre as we ought: but the sprete maketh intercessyon for vs, with gronynges which cannot be expressed. ²⁷ And he that searcheth the hertes knoweth, what is the meanynge of the spryte: for he maketh intercercessyon for the sayntes according to the pleasure of God.

⁹ For yf thou knowledge with thy mouth that Iesus is the Lorde, & beleue in thyne hert, that God raysed hym vp from deeth, thou shalt be safe. ¹⁰ For to beleue wt the hert iustyfyeth: and to knowledge with the mouth, maketh a man safe. ¹¹ For the scrypture sayth: whosoeuer beleueth on hym, shall not be confounded. ¹² There is no difference betwene the Iewe and the Gentill. For one is Lord of all, which is ryche vnto all that call vpon him. ¹³ For whosoeuer doth call on the name of the Lord, shalbe safe. 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.

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.

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

⁵ Moreouer, he that minystreth to you the sprete, and worketh myracles amonge you, doeth he it thorowe the dedes of the lawe, or by preachyng of the fayth? ⁶ Euen as Abraham beleued God, & it was ascribed to hym for ryghtewesnesse. ⁷ Ye knowe therfore, that they which are of fayth, the same are the chyldren of Abraham. ⁸ For the scripture seinge afore hande, that God wold iustifye the Hethen thorowe fayth, shewed before hande glad tydynges vnto Abraham sayinge: In the shall all nacyons be blessed. ⁹ So then, they which be of fayth, are blessed with faythfull Abraham.

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

¹⁸ For thorowe hym we both haue an intraunce, in one sprete vnto the father.

²² in whom ye also are buylt together, to be an habitacion of God thorowe the ghost.

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,

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

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

¹⁹ These are makers of sectes, fleshlye, hauynge no sprete. ²⁰ But ye derlye beloued, edifye youre selues in your most holy fayth, prayinge in the holy goost,

⁵ But yf oure vnryghtewesnes make the ryghtewesnes of God more excellent: what shall we saye? Is God vnryghteous, which taketh vngeaunce? I speake after the maner of men:

¹⁹ I speake grosly, because of the infirmytie of youre fleshe. As ye haue geuen youre members seruauntes to vnclennes and to iniquitye, (from one iniquitye to another) euen so now geue ouer youre members seruauntes vnto ryghtewesnes, that ye maye be sanctifyed.

³² That I haue fought with beastes at Ephesus after the maner of men, what auauntageth it me, yf the deed ryse not agayne: Let vs eate and dryncke, for to morowe we shall dye.

¹⁷ For the testament taketh auctoritie when men are deed: for it is yet of no value, as longe as he that maketh the testament is alyue,

⁷ And the Lorde apearynge vnto Abram: sayd: Unto thy sede wyll I geue this londe. And there buylded he an altare vnto the lorde, euen where he had appeared vnto hym.

¹⁵ for all the lande whyche thou seeste wyll I geue vnto the and to thy seed for euer. ¹⁶ And I wyll make thy seed, as the dust of the erth: so that yf a man can nombre the dust of the erth, than shall thy seed also be nombred.

⁵ And he brought him out & sayde: loke vp vnto heauen, and tell the starres, yf thou be able to nombre them. And he sayde vnto him Euen so shall thy seed be.

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

¹² And God sayde vnto Abraham: let it not be greauous in thy syght, because of the ladd and of thy bondmayde. All that Sara hath sayde vnto the, heare hyr voyce, for in Isahac shall thy seed be called.

¹⁷ that in blessynge I wyll blesse the, and in multiplienge I wyll multiplie thy seed as the starres of heauen & as the sande which is vpon the see syde. And thy seed shall possesse the gate of hys enemies. ¹⁸ And in thy seed shall all the nacions of the erth be blessed, because thou hast herde my voyce.

³ soiourne in thys lande, and I wyll be wyth the, and wyll blesse the: for vnto the and vnto thy sede I wyll geue all these contreys. And I wyll performe the oothe which I swore vnto Abraham thy father, ⁴ and wyll multiplye thy seed as the starres of heauen, and wyll geue vnto thy seed all these contreys. And in thy seed shall all the nacyons of the erth be blessed,

¹³ yce and God stode vpon it, and sayde. I am the Lorde God of Abraham thy father, and the God of Isahac: The lande whyche thou slepest vpon wyll I geue the and thy seed. ¹⁴ And thy seed shall be as the dust of the erth: and thou shalt spreade abrode to the west, to the east, to the north and to the south. And thorowe the and in thy seed shall all the kynredes of the erth be blessed.

⁵⁵ Euen as he promysed to oure fathers, Abraham, and to his seede for euer.

²⁵ Ye are the chyldren of the Prophetes, and of the couenaunt, which God made vnto oure fathers, sayinge to Abraham: Euen in thy seede shal all the kynredes of the earth be blessed.

¹³ For the promes (that he shuld be the heyre of the worlde) happened not to Abraham or to his seed thorow the lawe: but thorow the ryghtewesnes of fayth.

⁵ so we beynge many, are one body in Chryst, and euery man among oure selues, one anothers members.

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.

²⁷ Ye are the body of Christ, and membres one of another.

⁸ For the scripture seinge afore hande, that God wold iustifye the Hethen thorowe fayth, shewed before hande glad tydynges vnto Abraham sayinge: In the shall all nacyons be blessed.

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.

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.

³² Thys is a greate secrete, but I speake of Chryst and of the congregacyon.

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.

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

¹³ And he sayde vnto Abram: knowe thys of a suertye, that thy seed shalbe a straunger in a lande that perteyneth not vnto them. And shall serue them, & they shall entreate them euell .iiij. hundred yeares.

¹⁸ In that same daye the Lorde made a couenaunte wt Abram sayinge: vnto thy seed haue I geuen thys lande, from the ryuer of Egypt, euen vnto the great ryuer the ryuer of Euphrates,

¹⁹ Unto whom God sayde: Sara thy wyfe shall bere the a sonne in dede, & thou shalt call his name Isahac. And I wyll make my bonde with him, for an euerlastynge bonde and with his seed after him.

⁴⁰ The dwellinge of the children of Israel, which they dwelled in Egipte, was .iiij. hundred and .xxx. yeares: ⁴¹ and when the .iiij. hundred and .xxx. yeares were expired, euen the selfe same daye departed all the hoostes of the Lorde out of the lande of Egipt,

¹⁹ God is not a man that he shulde lye, nether the sonne of a man that he shulde repent: shulde he saye, and not doo? or shulde he speake, and not make it good?

⁸ And yf her husbande forbade her the same daye that he hearde it: and made her vowe which she hath vpon her of none effecte, and released the openyng of her lyppes, wherwith she bounde her soule, the Lorde shall forgeue her.

⁸ Wylt thou disanul my iudgement? Or wylt thou condemne me, that thou thy selfe mayest be made ryghteous?

¹⁰ The Lorde bryngeth the councell of the Heithen to naught, and maketh the deuyces of the people, to be of none effecte.

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?

¹⁸ And thus the couenaunt that ye made wt death, shalbe disanulled: and your agrement that ye made with hell, shall not stand. Yee, when the sore plage goeth forth, ye shalbe troden downe vnder it. From the tyme that it goeth forth, it shall take you awaye.

⁶⁸ Praysed be the Lord God of Israel, for he hath visited and redemed his people: ⁶⁹ And hath raysed vp an horne of saluacion vnto vs, in the house of his seruaunt Dauid. ⁷⁰ Euen as he promysed by the mouth of his holy prophetes, which were sens the worlde began. ⁷¹ That we shulde be saued from oure enemies, and from the hande of all that hate vs. ⁷² That he wolde deale mercifully with oure fathers, and remember his holy couenaunt. ⁷³ And that he wolde performe the oothe, which he sware to oure father Abraham, 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 ⁷⁶ And thou chylde shalt be called the Prophet of the hiest: for thou shalt go before the face of the Lorde, to prepare his wayes: ⁷⁷ to geue knowlege of saluacyon vnto his people for the remission of synnes. ⁷⁸ Through the tender mercy of oure God, wherby the daye springe from an hye hath visited vs. ⁷⁹ To geue light to them that sate in darcknes & in the shadowe of deathe, to gyde oure fete into the waye of peace.

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

⁵⁶ Your father Abraham was glad to se my daye: and he sawe it, & reioysed. ⁵⁷ Then sayd the Iewes vnto him: thou art not yet .l. yere olde, and hast thou sene Abraham? ⁵⁸ Iesus sayd vnto them: Uerely verely, I saye vnto you: yer Abraham was borne, I am.

⁶ God verely spake on thys wise that his seade shulde sogeourne in a straunge lande, & that they shulde kepe them in bondage, and entreate them euell .iiij.C. yeares.

³ What then though some of them dyd not beleue? shall theyr vnbeleue make the promes of God without effecte?

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,

¹³ For the promes (that he shuld be the heyre of the worlde) happened not to Abraham or to his seed thorow the lawe: but thorow the ryghtewesnes of fayth. ¹⁴ For yf they whych are of the lawe, be heyres, then is fayth but vayne and the promes of none effecte.

¹² I speake of the same that euery one of you sayeth: I holde of Paul: I holde of Apollo: I holde of Cephas: I holde of Christ.

¹⁷ For Christ sent me not to baptyse, but to preache the Gospell, not wt wysdome of wordes, lest the crosse of Christ shulde haue bene made of none effecte.

²⁹ This saye I brethren, the tyme is shorte. It remayneth, that they whych haue wyues, be as though they had none:

¹⁹ What saye I then? that the ymage is eny thynge? or that it whych is offered to ymages, is eny thynge?

²⁰ For all the promises of God, by him are yee: and are in him Amen, vnto the lawde of God thorow vs.

⁶ This yet I saye: he which soweth lytell, shal reape lytell: & he that soweth (in geuyng) largelye and frelye, shall reape plenteouslye:

¹⁵ Brethren, I speake after the maner of men. Though it be but a mans testament. Yet yf it be alowed, no man despyseth it: or addeth eny thynge thereto.

²¹ Is the lawe then agaynst the promes of God? God forbyd. For yf there had bene a lawe geuen which coulde haue geuen lyfe: then no doute ryghtewesnes shulde come by the lawe.

⁴ Christ is become but in vayne vnto you. As many of you as are iustifyed by the lawe are fallen from grace.

¹⁶ I saye: walke in the sprete, and fulfyll not the lust of the flesshe.

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

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

¹³ For when God made promes to Abraham because he had none greater to sweare by he sware by him selfe, ¹⁴ sayinge: Surely I will blesse the, and multiplie the in dede. ¹⁵ And so after that he had taried paciently, he enioyed the promes. ¹⁶ For men verely sweare by hym that is greater then them selues, and an othe to confyrme the thynge, is to them an ende of all stryfe. ¹⁷ So God wyllinge very aboundantly to shewe vnto the heyres of promes, the stablenes of his counsayl, added an oth: ¹⁸ that by two immutable thynges (in whych it was vnpossible that God shulde lye) we myght haue a stronge consolacyon, which hitherto haue fled, for to holde fast the hope that is set before vs,

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

¹³ These all dyed accordinge to fayth, whan they had not receaued the promises: but sawe them a farre of, and beleued them, & saluted them, and confessed, that they were straungers and pilgrems on the erthe.

¹⁷ By fayth Abraham offered vp Isaac, when he was proued, and he offered him beyng his only begotten sonne, in whom he had receaued the promyses. ¹⁸ And to hym it was sayde, in Isaac shal thy seed be called: ¹⁹ for he consydered, that God was able to rayse vp agayne from deeth. Therfore, receaued he him also for an ensample of the resurreccion.

³⁹ And these all thorow faith obtained good reporte, & receaued not the promes, ⁴⁰ because God had prouided a better thing for vs, that they wt out vs shuld not be made parfecte.

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

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

⁶ O ye sede of Abraham his seruaunt, ye chyldren of Iacob his chosen. ⁷ He is the Lorde oure God: his iudgementes are in all the worlde. ⁸ He hath bene alwaye myndfull of hys couenaunt, and promyse that he made to a thousand generacions. ⁹ Euen the couenaunt that he made with Abraham, and the ooth that he sware vnto Isahac. ¹⁰ And apoynted the same vnto Iacob for a lawe, and to Israel for an euerlastynge testament. ¹¹ Sayenge: vnto the wyll I geue the lande of Canaan, the lot of youre inherytaunce. ¹² When there was yet but a fewe of them, and they straungers in the lande.

⁴² For why? he remembred hys holy promes, and Abraham his seruaunt.

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: ¹⁹ he shal turne agayne, and be mercyfull to vs: he shal put downe oure wyckednesses, and cast all oure synnes into the botome of the see. ²⁰ Thou shalt kepe thy trust with Iacob, & thy mercy for Abraham, lyke as thou hast sworne vnto oure fathers longe agoo.

⁵⁴ He hath helped hys seruaunt Israel, in remembraunce of hys mercye. ⁵⁵ Euen as he promysed to oure fathers, Abraham, and to his seede for euer.

⁷² That he wolde deale mercifully with oure fathers, and remember his holy couenaunt. ⁷³ And that he wolde performe the oothe, which he sware to oure father Abraham,

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.

²¹ I despyse not the grace of God. For yf ryghtewesnes come of the lawe, then Christ is deed in vayne.

¹² The lawe is not of fayth: but the man that fulfylleth the thinges shal lyue in them.

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

¹² that ye faynt not, but be folowers of them, which thorowe fayth and pacience receaue the enheritaunce of the promyse. ¹³ For when God made promes to Abraham because he had none greater to sweare by he sware by him selfe, ¹⁴ sayinge: Surely I will blesse the, and multiplie the in dede. ¹⁵ And so after that he had taried paciently, he enioyed the promes.

¹⁹ and sayde vnto Moses: talke thou with vs, and we wyll heare: but let not God talke with vs, lest we dye. ²⁰ And Moses sayde vnto the people: feare not, for God is come to proue you, and that his feare maye be in youre face, that ye synne not. ²¹ And the people stode a farre of, and Moses went into the thycke clowde where God was. ²² And the Lorde sayde vnto Moses: thus thou shalt saye vnto the chyldren of Israel. Ye haue sene that I haue talked with you from oute of heauen.

¹ And he sayde vnto Moses: come vp vnto the Lorde: thou & Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and the .lxx. elders of Israel, and ye shal worshyppe a farre of. ² And Moses hym selfe alone shall go vnto the Lorde, but they shall not come nye, nether shall the people go vp with hym. ³ And Moses came, & tolde the people all the wordes of the Lord and all the lawes: And all the people answered with one voyce, and sayde: all the wordes whiche the Lorde hath sayde, wyll wee doo. ⁴ And Moses wrote all the wordes of the Lorde, & rose vp early, and set vp an aulter vnder the hyll, & .xii. stones according to the .xii. trybes of Israel, ⁵ and sent yonge men of the chyldren of Israell, which brought burntofferynges, and offred peace offeringes of oxen vnto the Lord. ⁶ And Moses toke halfe of the bloude, and put it in basens, & the other halfe he sprenkeld on the aulter. ⁷ And he toke the boke of the appoyntement and redd it in the audience of the people. And they sayd. All that the Lorde hath sayde, we wyll do and be obedyent. ⁸ And Moses toke the bloude, and sprynkeld it on the people and sayde, beholde thys is the bloude of the appoyntement, which the Lorde hath made with you vpon all these wordes. ⁹ Then went Moses and Aaron, Nadab and Abihu and the .lxx. elders of Israel vppe, ¹⁰ and sawe the God of Israel, and there was vnder hys fete, as it were a worke of a Saphir stone; and as it were the heauen when it is cleare, ¹¹ and vpon the nobles of the chyldren of Israel he sett not his hand. And they sawe God and dyd eate and dryncke. ¹² And the Lorde sayde vnto Moses: come vp to me into the hyll, and be there, and I wyll geue the tables of stone, and a lawe and commaundmentes, which I haue written that thou mayest teach them.

²⁷ And the Lorde sayde vnto Moses: wryte these wordes: for after the tenoure of these wordes I haue made a couenaunt with the and with Israel. ²⁸ And he was there wyth the Lorde fourtye dayes and fourtye nyghtes, and dyd neyther eate bread ner dryncke water. And he wrote vpon the tables the wordes of the couenaunt, euen ten verses. ²⁹ And it fortuned, when Moses came downe from mount Sinai, the two tables of witnes were in Moses hande, when he came downe from the mount. And Moses wyst not that the skynne of his face shone in maner of an horne, whyle he talked with him. ³⁰ And Aaron and all the children of Israel loked vpon Moses: and beholde, the skynne of his face shone, & they were afrayed to come nye him. ³¹ And when he had called them, Aaron & all the chefe that were in the company came vnto him, and Moses talked with them. ³² And afterward, all the children of Israel came nye, & he commaunded them all that the Lord had sayde vnto hym in mount Sinai. ³³ And whan Moses had made an ende of comening with them, he put a coueryng vpon his face. ³⁴ And agayne, whan Moses went in before the Lord to speake wt him, he toke the couering of vntill he came out. And he came out, and spake vnto the children of Israel that which he was commaunded. ³⁵ And the children of Israel sawe the face of Moses, that the skinne of Moses face shone. And Moses put the couering vpon his face agayne, vntill he went in, to comen with him.

³² Thys is the lawe of hym that hath a runnynge yssue, and of hym whose seed runneth from hym in hys slepe, and is defyled therin,

⁸ Ye, & what nacyon is so greate, that hath ordinaunces & lawes so righteous, as all this lawe whyche I sett before you this daye? ⁹ Take hede to thy selfe therfore, and kepe thy soule diligently, that thou forget not the thynges which thyne eyes haue sene, & that they departe not out of thyne harte, all the dayes of thy lyfe: but teache them thy sonnes & thy sonnes sonnes:

⁵ And I stode betwene the Lorde and you the same tyme, and shewed you the worde of the Lorde. For ye were afrayed at the syght of the fyre, and went not vp into the mount, & he sayed

²² These wordes the Lorde spake vnto all your multitude in the mount out of the myddes of the fyre, cloude and darcknesse, with a greate voyce, added nomore therto, and wrote them in two tables of stone, and delyuered them vnto me. ²³ And it fortuned, that whan ye herde the voyce out of the myddes of the darcknesse, & sawe that the hill dyd burne with fyre, ye came vnto me with the captaynes of youre tribes and youre elders: ²⁴ and ye sayde: beholde, the Lord oure God hath shewed vs his glorye and his greatnesse, & we haue herde his voyce out of the myddes of the fyre: we haue sene thys daye, that God doth talke wyth a man, and he yet lyueth. ²⁵ Nowe therfore, why shulde we dye, that thys greate fyre shulde consume vs? If we heare the voyce of the Lord oure God any moare, we shal dye. ²⁶ For what fleshe hath it bene, that euer hearde the voyce of the lyuynge God speakinge out of the myddes of the fyre (as we haue done) and yet dyd lyue? ²⁷ Go thou and here all that the Lord oure God sayeth, and tell thou vnto vs all that the Lord oure God sayeth vnto the and we wyll heare it and do it. ²⁸ And the Lorde hearde the voyce of youre wordes when ye spake vnto me, & the Lorde sayde vnto me: I haue herde the voyce of the wordes of thys people, which they haue spoken vnto the, they haue well sayed all that they haue spoken. ²⁹ Oh that ther were such an hert in them that they wolde feare me, & kepe all my commaundementes alwaye, that it myghte go wel with them, and with theyr chyldren for euer. ³⁰ Go and saye vnto them: gett you into youre tentes agayne, ³¹ but stande thou here by me, and I wyll tell the all the commaundementes, ordinaunces and lawes, which thou shalt teache them, that they maye do them in the lande which I geue them to possesse. ³² Take hede therfore, that ye do in dede as the Lorde youre God hath commaunded you, & turne not asyde: ether to the ryghte hande or to the lefte: ³³ but walke in all the wayes which the Lorde youre God hath commaunded you, that ye maye lyue, and that it maye go well with you, and that ye maye prolonge youre dayes, in the lande which ye shall possesse.

¹³ Furthermore, the Lord spake vnto me sayinge: I haue sene thys people, and beholde, it is a styffenecked people, ¹⁴ let me alone, that I maye destroye them, and put out the name of them from vnder heauen, and I wyll make of the a myghtie nacyon, & greater than they be. ¹⁵ And I turned me, and came doune from the hyll (euen from the hyll that burnt wyth fyre) and the two tables of the appoyntment were in my handes. ¹⁶ And I loked, & beholde, ye had synned agaynst the Lorde your God, & had made you a molten calfe, and had turned attonce out of the waye whyche the Lord had commaunded you. ¹⁷ And I toke the two tables and cast them out of my two handes, and brake them before youre eyes. ¹⁸ And I fell downe flat before the Lorde: euen as at the fyrst tyme, and .xl. dayes & .xl. nyghtes I dyd nether eate bread nor drincke water, because of all youre synnes, whych ye synned, in doynge wyckedly in the syght of the Lord in that ye prouoked hym vnto wrath. ¹⁹ For I was afrayed that for the wrath & fearsnesse wher wyth the Lorde was moued agaynst you, he wolde haue destroyed you. But the Lorde herde me at that tyme also. ²⁰ The Lorde was very angrye wyth Aaron also, euen to haue destroyed hym: & I made intercessyon for Aaron also the same tyme:

²⁵ And I fell downe flat before the Lord .xl. dayes, and .xl. nyghtes whiche I laye there, for the Lorde sayde, that he wolde destroye you. ²⁶ I made intercessyon therfore vnto the Lorde, and sayed: O Lorde God, destroye not thy people & thyne enheritaunce, whych thou hast delyuered thorow thy greatnesse, and which thou hast brought out of Egypte thorowe a myghtie hand. ²⁷ Remembre thy seruauntes Abraham, Isahac and Iacob, and loke not vnto the stoburnesse of this people, ner to theyr wickednesse & synne: ²⁸ lest the lande whence thou broughtest them, saye: The Lorde is not able to brynge them in to the lande, whych he promysed them: and because he hated them, therfore hath he caryed them out, to slaye them in the wyldernesse. ²⁹ Beholde, they are thy people, and thyne enheritaunce, whyche thou broughtest out in thy myghtie power and in thy stretched out arme.

¹⁵ The Lorde thy God wyll styr vp vnto the a Prophete amonge you: euen of thy brethren, lyke vnto me vnto hym ye shall herken, ¹⁶ accordynge to all that thou desyredest of the Lorde thy God in Horeb, in the daye of the gatherynge together, whan thou saydest: Let me heare the voyce of my Lorde God no moare, nor se thys greate fyre any moare, that I dye not. ¹⁷ And the Lorde sayde vnto me: they haue well spoken: ¹⁸ I will rayse them vp a prophete from amonge their brethren lyke vnto the, and wyll put my wordes in hys mouthe, and he shall speake vnto them all that I shall commaunde hym. ¹⁹ And whosoeuer will not herken vnto the wordes which he shall speake in my name, I wyll requyre it of hym.

² and sayde: The Lorde came from Sinai and shewed hys beames from Seir vnto them, and apeared from mount Pharan, and he came wyth thousandes of sayntes, and in his ryghte hande a lawe of fyre for them.

²³ So he sayd he wolde haue destroyed them, had not Moses his chosen stande before hym in that gappe: to turne awaye his wrathful indignacion, lest he shulde destroye them.

¹⁹ He sheweth hys worde vnto Iacob, hys statutes & ordinaunces vnto Israel. ²⁰ He hath not dealte so wt anye nacyon, nether haue the heathen knowledge of hys lawes. Haleluiah.

³¹ He sayde vnto him: If they heare not Moses and the Prophetes, nether wyll they beleue, though one rose from deeth agayne.

⁴⁵ Do not thyncke that I wyll accuse you to my father. Ther is one that accuseth you: euen Moses in whom ye trust. ⁴⁶ For had ye beleued Moses, ye wolde haue beleued me for he wrote of me. ⁴⁷ But yf ye beleue not hys wrytinges: how shall ye beleue my wordes?

²² If I had not come and spoken vnto them, they shuld haue had no synne: but now haue they nothyng to cloke their synne withall.

³⁸ This is he that was in the congregacion, in the wildernes with the angel (which spake to hym in the mount Sina) and with our fathers. This man receaued the word of life to geue vnto vs,

⁵³ And ye also haue receaued the lawe by the minystracyon of aungels, and haue not kept it.

¹³ For in the syght of God, they are not ryghteous which beare the lawe: but the doers of the lawe shalbe iustifyed.

¹ What preferment then hath the Iewe? or what aduauntageth circumcisyon? ² Surely verye moch. Fyrst because that vnto them were commytted the wordes of God.

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.

⁷ What shall we saye then? is the lawe synne? God forbyd: neuertheles I knew not synne, but by the lawe. For I had not knowne what lust had meant, excepte the lawe had sayd, thou shalt not lust. ⁸ But synne toke an occasyon by the meanes of the commaundement and wrought in me all manner of concupiscence. For verely without the lawe, synne was deed.

²¹ Is the lawe then agaynst the promes of God? God forbyd. For yf there had bene a lawe geuen which coulde haue geuen lyfe: then no doute ryghtewesnes shulde come by the lawe. ²² But the scripture concluded all thinges vnder synne, that the promes by the fayth of Iesus Christ shulde be geuen vnto them that beleue. ²³ But before that fayth came, we were kepte vnder the lawe, and were shut vp vnto the fayth which shulde afterwarde be declared. ²⁴ Wherfore, the lawe was oure scolemaster vnto Christ, that we shulde be iustifyed by fayth. ²⁵ But after that fayth is come, we are no lenger vnder the scolemaster.

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

⁸ We knowe, that the lawe is good, yf a man vse it lawfully: ⁹ knowynge thys, howe that the lawe is not geuen vnto a ryghteous man, but vnto the vnryghteous and disobedyent, to the vngodly and to synners, to vnholy and vncleane: to murtherers of fathers and murtherers of mothers, to manstears,

² For yf the worde whych was spoken by angells was stedfast: And euery transgressyon and disobedience receaued a iust recompence of rewarde,

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

¹ Abram was nynetye yere olde & .ix. & the Lorde apeared to Abram & sayde vnto hym: I am the almyghtie God: walke before me and be thou perfecte. ² And I will make my bonde betwene me and the, and will multiplye the excedingly.

⁴ Heare O Israel, the Lorde oure God is Lorde only,

³³ Nether is there eny dayesman to laye hys hande betwene vs.

²⁰ Herode was displeased wt them of Tyre and Sidon. But they came all with one accorde, & made intercession vnto Blastus the kynges chamberlayne, and desyred peace, because their countre was norysshed by the kynges prouysyon.

¹⁷ Thys I saye, that the lawe which beganne afterwarde, beyonge foure hundred and thyrtye yeares, doeth not disanull the testament, that was comfermed afore of God vnto Christ ward, to make the promes of one effecte.

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

⁶ But now hath he obtayned a presthode so moch the more excellent, as he is the mediator of a better testament, which was confirmed in better promyses.

²⁴ and to Iesus the mediator of the new testament, & to the sprincklynge of bloud that speaketh better then the bloud of Abel.

¹⁷ Thynke not that I am come to destroye the lawe, or the prophetes: no, I am not come to destroye, but to fulfyll. ¹⁸ For truely I saye vnto you: tyll heauen and earth passe, one iott or one tytle of the lawe shal not scape, tyll all be fulfylled. ¹⁹ Whosoeuer therfore breaketh one of these leest commaundementes, and teacheth men so, he shalbe called the leest in the kyngdome of heauen. But whosoeuer doeth and teacheth, the same shalbe called greate in the kyngdome of heauen. ²⁰ For I saye vnto you: except your righteousnesse exceade the ryghteousnesse of the Scribes and Pharises, ye cannot entre into the kyngdome of heauen.

⁴ God forbyd Let God be true, and euery man a lyar, at it is wrytten: that thou myghtest be iustifyed in thy sayinges, and ouercome, when thou art iudged.

⁶ God forbyd. For how then shall God iudge the worlde?

²⁰ because that by the dedes of the lawe ther shall no flesshe be iustifyed in hys syght. For by the lawe commeth the knowledge of sinne. ²¹ But now is the ryghtewesnes of God declared wythout the lawe, for asmoch as it is alowed by the testimonye of the lawe and of the Prophetes. ²² The ryghtewesnes of God, commeth by the fayth of Iesus Christ, vnto all and vpon all them that beleue. Ther is no dyfference:

³¹ Do we then destroye the lawe thorow fayth? God forbyd. But we rather maintayne the lawe.

³¹ Contrary wyse, Israel which folowed the lawe of rightwesnes could not attaine to the lawe of ryghtewsnes.

³ For they beynge ignoraunt of Goddes ryghtewesnes, and goynge aboute to stablysshe theyr awne ryghtewesnes, haue not bene obedient vnto the ryghtewesnes of God. ⁴ For Christ is the fulfyllyng of the lawe, to iustyfye all that beleue.

¹⁷ If whyle we seke to be made ryghtewes by Christ, we our selues are founde synners, is then Christ the minyster of synne? God forbyd.

¹⁹ For I (thorowe the lawe) haue bene deed to the lawe, that I myght lyue vnto Christ.

⁶ as concernynge feruentnes, I persecuted the congregacyon, as touchynge the ryghtewesnes which is in the lawe, I was vnrebukable. ⁷ But the thynges that were vauntage vnto me, those I counted losse for Chrystes sake. ⁸ ye I thynke all thynges but losse for the excellencye of the knowledge of Chryst Iesu my Lorde. For whom I haue counted all thynge losse, and do iudge them but vyle, that I maye wynne Chryst, 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:

⁷ By fayth Noe beynge warned of God, eschued the thynges which were as yet not sene, and prepared the arke to the sauynge of hys housholde, thorow the whych arke, he condempned the worlde, and became heyre of the ryghtewesnes which is accordyng to fayth.

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

¹⁵ that whosoeuer beleueth in him, perysshe not, but haue eternall lyfe. ¹⁶ For God so loue the worlde, that, he gaue is only begotten sonne, that whosoeuer beleueth in him, shulde not perisshe, but haue euerlastyng lyfe. ¹⁷ For God sent not his sonne into the worlde, to condempne the worlde but that the world through him myght be saued. ¹⁸ He that beleueth on him, is not condemned. But he that beleueth not, is condemned all ready, because he hath not beleued in the name of the onely begotten sonne of God,

³⁶ He that beleueth on the sonne hath euerlastinge lyfe: He that beleueth not the sonne, shall not se lyfe, but the wrath of God abydeth on him.

²⁴ Uerely, verely I saye vnto you. He that heareth my worde, & beleueth on him that sent me, hath euerlasting lyfe, and shall not come into damnacyon: but is scaped from deeth vnto lyfe.

⁴⁰ And thys is the will of him that sent me: that euery one whych seeth the sonne and beleueth on him, haue euerlasting lyfe. And I wyll rayse him vp at the last daye.

²⁵ Iesus sayth vnto her: I am the resurreccyon and the lyfe: He that beleueth on me, ye though he were deed, yet shall he lyue. ²⁶ And whosoeuer lyueth and beleueth on me, shall neuer dye: Beleuest thou this?

⁴⁶ I am come a lyght into the worlde: that whosoeuer beleueth on me, shulde not byde in darcknes.

³¹ These are written, that ye myght beleue, that Iesus is Chryst the sonne of God, and that (in beleuyng) ye myght haue lyfe thorow hys name.

³¹ And they sayde: beleue on the Lorde Iesus, & thou shalt be saued & thy housholde.

⁹ What then? Are we better then they? No, in no wyse. For we haue all ready proued, how that both Iewes and Gentyls are all vnder synne, ¹⁰ as it is wrytten. there is none ryghteous, no not one: ¹¹ there is none that vnderstandeth, there is none that seketh after God: ¹² they are all gone out of the waye, they are all vnprofytable, ther is none that doeth good, no not one. ¹³ Theyr throte is an open sepulcre, with theyr tounges they haue disceaued: the poyson of aspes is vnder theyr lyppes. ¹⁴ Whose mouth is full of curssynge and bytternes. ¹⁵ Their fete are swyfte to shed bloud. ¹⁶ Destruccyon and wretchednes are in theyr wayes, ¹⁷ and the waye of peace haue they not knowen. ¹⁸ There is no feare of God before theyr eyes.

²³ for all haue synned, and are destitute of the glorye of God:

¹² Wherfore, as by one man, synne entred into the worlde, and deeth by the meanes of synne.

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

³² For God had wrapped all nacyons in vnbeleue, that he myght haue mercy on all.

⁸ For the scripture seinge afore hande, that God wold iustifye the Hethen thorowe fayth, shewed before hande glad tydynges vnto Abraham sayinge: In the shall all nacyons be blessed. ⁹ So then, they which be of fayth, are blessed with faythfull Abraham. ¹⁰ For as many as are of the dedes of the lawe, are subiecte to the curse. For it is written: cursed be euery one that contynueth not in all thinges which are written in the boke of the lawe to fulfyll them.

²³ But before that fayth came, we were kepte vnder the lawe, and were shut vp vnto the fayth which shulde afterwarde be declared.

¹ Paul an Apostle of Iesus Christ, by the wyll of God, accordynge to the promes of lyfe which is in Christ Iesu.

¹³ For when God made promes to Abraham because he had none greater to sweare by he sware by him selfe, ¹⁴ sayinge: Surely I will blesse the, and multiplie the in dede. ¹⁵ And so after that he had taried paciently, he enioyed the promes. ¹⁶ For men verely sweare by hym that is greater then them selues, and an othe to confyrme the thynge, is to them an ende of all stryfe. ¹⁷ So God wyllinge very aboundantly to shewe vnto the heyres of promes, the stablenes of his counsayl, added an oth:

⁴ by the whych are geuen vnto vs excellent and moste greate promyses, that by the meanes therof ye myght be partakers of the godly nature, yf ye flye the corrupcyon of worldly lust.

¹³ Neuerthelesse, we (according to his promes) loke for a new heauen and a new earth, wherin dwelleth ryghtewesnes.

²⁵ And thys is the promes that he hath promysed vs, euen eternall lyfe.

²³ And this is hys commaundement, that we beleue on the name of his sonne Iesus Christ, and loue one another, as he gaue commaundement. ²⁴ And he that kepeth hys commaundementes, dwelleth in him, & he in him, and herby we knowe that he abydeth in vs, euen by the sprete which he hath geuen vs.

¹¹ because he beleued not the recorde that God gaue of hys sonne. And this is that recorde, how that God hath geuen vnto vs eternall lyfe, & this lyfe is in hys sonne. ¹² He that hath the sonne hath lyfe: & he that hath not the sonne of God, hath not lyfe. ¹³ These thynges haue I wrytten vnto you that beleue on the name of the sonne of God, that ye maye knowe, how that ye haue eternall lyfe, & that ye maye beleue on the name of the sonne of God.

²³ And he turned to his disciples, and sayde secretly: Happy are the eyes, which se the thinges that ye se. ²⁴ For I tell you, that many prophetes and kinges haue desired to se those thinges which ye se, and haue not sene them: and to heare those thynges which ye heare, and haue not hearde them.

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

¹⁴ For synne shall not haue power ouer you. Because ye are not vnder the lawe, but vnder grace. ¹⁵ What then? Shall we synne, because we are not vnder the lawe: but vnder grace? God forbyd.

²⁰ Unto the Iewes, I became as a Iewe, to wynne the Iewes. To them that were vnder the lawe, was I made as though I had bene vnder the lawe, to wynne them that were vnder the lawe. ²¹ To them that were wythout lawe, became I as though I had bene wythout lawe (when I was not without lawe as perteyning to God, but vnder the lawe of Chryst) to wynne them that were wythout lawe.

¹⁹ Wherfore then serueth the lawe? It was added because of transgression (tyll the seed came, to whom the promes was made) and it was ordeyned by angels in the hand of a mediator.

¹ And I saye, that the heyre (as longe as he is a chylde) differth not from a seruaunt, though he be Lord of all, ² but is vnder tuters and gouerners, vntyll the tyme that the father hath appoynted. ³ Euen so we also, when we were chyldren, were in bondage vnder the ordynaunces of the worlde. ⁴ But when the tyme was full come, God sent hys sonne, made of a woman, and made bonde vnto the lawe, ⁵ to redeme them which were bonde vnto the lawe: that we (thorowe eleccion) might receaue the inheritaunce that belongeth vnto the naturall sonnes.

²¹ Tell me: ye that desyre to be vnder the lawe, do ye not heare of the lawe?

¹⁸ But and yf ye be led of the sprete, then are ye not vnder the lawe.

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

¹⁷ Thynke not that I am come to destroye the lawe, or the prophetes: no, I am not come to destroye, but to fulfyll. ¹⁸ For truely I saye vnto you: tyll heauen and earth passe, one iott or one tytle of the lawe shal not scape, tyll all be fulfylled.

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.

⁷ What shall we saye then? is the lawe synne? God forbyd: neuertheles I knew not synne, but by the lawe. For I had not knowne what lust had meant, excepte the lawe had sayd, thou shalt not lust. ⁸ But synne toke an occasyon by the meanes of the commaundement and wrought in me all manner of concupiscence. For verely without the lawe, synne was deed. ⁹ I once lyued wythout lawe. But when the commaundement came, synne reuiued, and I was deed.

²⁴ O wretched man that I am: who shall delyuer me from thys body subdued vnto deeth? ²⁵ I thanke God thorow Iesus Christ oure Lorde. So then, wyth the mynde I serue the lawe of God, but wyth the flesshe the lawe of synne.

⁴ For Christ is the fulfyllyng of the lawe, to iustyfye all that beleue.

¹⁵ For though ye haue ten thousande instructours in Chryst: yet haue ye not many fathers. In Chryst Iesu I haue begotten you thorow the Gospell.

²⁵ But after that fayth is come, we are no lenger vnder the scolemaster.

² but is vnder tuters and gouerners, vntyll the tyme that the father hath appoynted. ³ Euen so we also, when we were chyldren, were in bondage vnder the ordynaunces of the worlde.

¹⁷ which are shaddowes of thinges to come: but the body is in Chryst.

⁸ Wherwith the holy goost thys signifyed, that the waye of holy thynges was not yet opened, whyll as yet the fyrst tabernacle was standyng. ⁹ Which was a symilitude for the tyme then present, in which were offered gyftes and sacrifices, that coulde not make the minister parfecte, as pertayning to the conscyence, ¹⁰ wyth onely meates & drinckes, & diuers wasshinges and iustifyinges of the fleshe, whych were ordeyned vntyll the tyme of reformacyon. ¹¹ But Christ beynge and hye Prest of good thynges to come, came by a greater & a more perfecte tabernacle, not made wyth handes: that is to saye, not of thys buylding, 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. ¹⁶ For where as is a testament, ther must also (of necessite) be the deeth of hym that maketh the testament.

¹ For the lawe (hauynge the shadowe of good thynges to come, and not the very fasshion of the thinges them selues) can neuer with those sacrifices which they offer; yeare by yeare continually make the commers therunto parfayt. ² For wold not then those sacrifices haue ceased to haue bene offred, because that the offerers once purged shuld haue had no more conscience of synnes? ³ Neuerthelesse, in those sacrifyces, is there mencyon made of synnes euery yeare. 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, ¹³ & from hence forth taryeth tyll his foes be made his fote stole. ¹⁴ For wt one offeringe hath he made parfecte for euer, them that are sanctyfyed.

¹⁴ For synne shall not haue power ouer you. Because ye are not vnder the lawe, but vnder grace.

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

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

¹¹ If now therfore perfeccion came by the presthod of the Leuytes (for vnder that presthod the people receaued the lawe) what neded it furthermore, that another prest shuld ryse to be called after the order of Melchisedech, and not after the order of Aaron? ¹² For yf the presthod be translated, then of necessitie must the lawe be translated also. ¹³ For he of whom these thynges are spoken pertayne vnto another trybe, of whom neuer man serued at the aultare. ¹⁴ For it is euident that oure Lorde spronge of the trybe of Iuda, of whych trybe spake Moses nothinge concerninge presthod. ¹⁵ And it is yet a more euident thynge, yf after the similitude of Melchisedech there aryse another preste,

³ For euery hye prest is ordeyned to offer gyftes and sacrifices: wherfore it is of necessite, that this man haue some what also to offer. ⁴ For he were not a prest, yf he were on the erth where are prestes, that accordynge to the law ⁵ offer gyftes whych serue vnto the ensample, and shadowe of heauenly thynges: euen as the answere of God was geuen vnto Moses, when he was about to fynyssh the tabernacle. Take hede (sayde he) that thou make all thinges accordinge to the patrone which is shewed to the in the mount. ⁶ But now hath he obtayned a presthode so moch the more excellent, as he is the mediator of a better testament, which was confirmed in better promyses. ⁷ For yf that fyrst testament had bene soch, that no faute coulde haue bene founde in it, then shulde no place haue bene sought for the seconde. ⁸ For in rebukynge them, he sayth vnto them. Beholde the dayes come (sayth the Lord) and I wyll fynyssh vpon the house of Israel, and vpon the house of Iuda, ⁹ a new testament: not like the testament that I made with theyr fathers in that daye, when I toke them by the handes, to leade them out of the land of Egypte. For they contynued not in my testament, and I regarded them not sayth the Lord. ¹⁰ For this is the testament, that I wyll make wt the house of Israel: After those dayes (sayth the Lord) I wyll put my lawes in their myndes, and in their hertes I will write them, and I wylbe their God, and they shalbe my people. ¹¹ And they shall not teach euery man hys neyghboure, and euery man hys brother, saying: knowe the Lord: for they shall knowe me, from the least to the moste of them: ¹² For I wilbe mercyfull ouer their vnrightewesnes, and their synnes & their iniquities will I thinke vpon nomore. ¹³ In that he sayth a new testament, he hath worne out the olde, For that which is worne out & wexed olde, is redy to vanyshe awaye.

¹⁵ The holy goost him self also beareth vs recorde, euen when he tolde before: ¹⁶ This is the testament that I wyll make vnto them: after those dayes (sayth the lorde) I will put my lawes in their hertes, & in their myndes will I write them, ¹⁷ & their synnes & iniquities will I remember nomore. ¹⁸ And where remission of these thynges is, ther is nomore offeryng for synne.

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

¹⁷ Iesus sayeth vnto her, touche me not, for I am not yet ascended to my father. But go to my brethren, & saye vnto them? I ascende vnto my father & youre father: & to my God, & youre God.

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.

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

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

¹ Be ye therfore folowers of God as deare chyldren,

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,

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.

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.

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

¹⁴ And why? I put vpon me ryghteousnes, which couered me as a garment, and equyte was my crowne.

¹⁰ And therfore I am ioyfull in the Lorde, & my soule reioyseth in my God. For he hath put vpon me the garment of saluacion, & couered me with the mantle of ryghteousnes. He shall decke me lyke a brydegrome, and as a bride that hath hyr apparell vpon her.

¹⁹ Go ye therfore, & teach all nacions, baptising them in the name of the father, & of the sonne, & of the holy goost: ²⁰ Teachinge them to obserue all thinges, whatsoeuer I haue commaunded you. And lo I am wyth you allwaye, euen vntyll the ende of the worlde.

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.

²² But the father sayd to his seruauntes: brynge forth the best garment, and put it on him, and put a rynge on his hande, and shoes on his fete.

¹⁶ For as yet he was come on no one of them: but they were baptysed onely in the name of Christ Iesu.

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

¹⁸ And immediatly ther fell from hys eyes as it had bene scales and he receaued syght: and arose, and was baptised,

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

³¹ And they sayde: beleue on the Lorde Iesus, & thou shalt be saued & thy housholde. ³² And they preached vnto him the worde of the Lord, & to all that were in hys house. ³³ And he toke them the same houre of the nyght, & wasshed their woundes, and was baptised and all they of hys housholde strayght waye.

²² The ryghtewesnes of God, commeth by the fayth of Iesus Christ, vnto all and vpon all them that beleue. Ther is no dyfference:

³ Knowe ye not that all we whych are baptysed into Iesu Christe are baptysed to dye wyth him? ⁴ We are buryed then with him by baptyme, for to dye: that lyke wyse as Christ was raysed vp from deeth by the glorye of the father, euen so we also shulde walke in a newe lyfe.

¹⁴ but put ye on the Lorde Iesus Chryst. And make not prouisyon for the fleshe, to fulfyll the lustes of it.

² and were all baptysed vnder Moses in the cloude and in the see:

²⁴ and to put on that newe man, which after God is shapen in ryghte wesnes and true holynes.

¹⁰ and ye are complete in him: which is the heed of all rule and power, ¹¹ by whom also ye are circumcised with circumcisyon which is done with out handes, for asmoche as ye haue put of the synfull body of the flesshe thorowe the circumcisyon that is in Christ, ¹² in that ye are buried with hym thorowe bapti me, in whom ye are also rysen agayne thorowe fayth, that is wrought by the operacyon of God which raysed him from deeth.

¹⁰ and haue put on the newe man which is renued into the knowledge & ymage of him that made hym,

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

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.

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

¹¹ And now I am not in the worlde, and they are in the worlde, and I come to the. Holy father, kepe thorow thine awne name, them which thou hast geuen me, that they also maye be one, as we are.

²⁰ Neuertheles, I praye not for them alone, but for them also which shall beleue on me thorow their preaching: ²¹ that they al maye be one, as thou father art in me, and I in the, and that they also maye be one in vs: that the worlde maye beleue, that thou hast sent me:

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.

⁹ tribulacyon and anguysshe vpon the soule of euery man that doth euyll: of the Iewe fyrst, and also of the Gentyle. ¹⁰ To euery man that doth good, shall come prayse, and honoure, and peace, to the Iewe fyrst, and also to the Gentyll.

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: ¹² and that he myght be father of circumcisyon, not vnto them onely whych came of the circumcised, but vnto them also that walke in the steppes of the fayth that was in oure father Abraham, before the tyme of circumcisyon.

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

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

¹⁹ Circumcisyon is nothynge, and vncircumcisyon is nothinge: but the kepynge of the commaundementes of God.

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

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

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

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

¹⁰ Wherfore she sayde vnto Abraham: put awaye this bondemayde & hyr sonne: for the sonne of thys bonde woman shall not be heyre with my sonne Isahac: ¹¹ & thys sayinge was very greauous in Abrahams syght because of hys sonne. ¹² And God sayde vnto Abraham: let it not be greauous in thy syght, because of the ladd and of thy bondmayde. All that Sara hath sayde vnto the, heare hyr voyce, for in Isahac shall thy seed be called.

¹² and that he myght be father of circumcisyon, not vnto them onely whych came of the circumcised, but vnto them also that walke in the steppes of the fayth that was in oure father Abraham, before the tyme of circumcisyon.

¹⁶ Therfore by fayth is the inheritaunce geuen, that it myght come of fauoure: that the promes myght be sure to all the seed. Not to them onely whych are of the lawe: but to them also which are of the fayth of Abraham, which is the father of vs all. ¹⁷ (As it is wrytten: I haue made the a father of many nacyons) euen before God, whom he beleued, whych restoreth the deed vnto lyfe: and calleth those thynges whych be not, as though they were. ¹⁸ Whych Abraham, contrary to hope, beleued in hope, that he shulde be the father of many nacyons, accordynge to that whych was spoken: ¹⁹ euen so shall thy seed be. And he faynted not in the fayth, nor yet consydered his awne body whych was now deed, euen when he was almost an hondred yeare olde: nether yet that Sara was past chyldeberinge. ²⁰ He stackered not at the promes of God thorow vnbelefe: but became stronge in fayth, and gaue God the prayse, ²¹ beynge full certifyed, that he whych had promised the same was able also to make it good.

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.

²³ but euery man in his awne order. The fyrst is Christ, then they that are Christes at his commynge.

⁷ Loke ye on thinges after the vtter appearaunce? If any man trust in hym selfe, that he is Christes, lett hym consyder thys agayne of him selfe, that as he is Christes, euen so, are we Christes.

⁷ Ye knowe therfore, that they which are of fayth, the same are the chyldren of Abraham.

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

⁷ Wherfore nowe, thou art not a seruaunt: but a sonne. If thou be a sonne, thou arte also an heyre of God, thorowe Christ.

²² For it is wrytten, that Abraham had two sonnes the one by a bonde mayde, the other by a fre woman. ²³ Yee, and he which was borne of the bonde woman, was borne after the flesshe: but he which was of the fre man, was borne by promesse. ²⁴ Which thynges are spoken by an allegorye. For these are two testamentes the one from the mounte Syna, which gendreth vnto bondage, which is Agar. ²⁵ For mounte Syna is Agar in Arabia, and bordreth vpon the cytie, which is nowe called Ierusalem, and is in bondage with her chyldren. ²⁶ But Ierusalem, which is aboue, is fre: which is the mother of vs al. ²⁷ For it is written. Reioyce thou baren, that bearest no chyldren: breake forth and crye, thou the trauaylest not. For the desolat hath many moo chyldren, then she which hathe an husbande. ²⁸ Brethren, we are after Isaac, the children of promes. ²⁹ But as then he that was borne after the flesshe, persecuted hym that was borne after the sprete, euen so is it nowe. ³⁰ Neuerthelesse, what sayth the scripture: put awaye the bonde woman and her sonne. For the sonne of the bonde woman shall not be heyre with the sonne of the fre woman. ³¹ So then brethren, we are not chyldren of the bonde woman: but of the fre.

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

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

¹⁴ Are they not all minystrynge spretes, that are sent to minyster, for theyr sakes whych shalbe heyres of saluacyon?

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

¹⁸ And to hym it was sayde, in Isaac shal thy seed be called:

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?
