¹⁰ And the Lorde sayde vnto Iosua, gett the vp, wherfore lyest thou thus vpon thy face? ¹¹ Israel hath synned, & they haue transgressed myne appointement, which I commaunded them: for they haue taken of the excommunicate thinges, and haue stolen, and dissembled, & put them vnto their awne stuffe ¹² And therfore is it that the children of Israel cannot stande before their ennemyes, but shall turne their backes before their ennemyes because they be excommunicate. Nether will I be wt you any moare, excepte ye rote out the excommunicate from amonge you. ¹³ Up therfore, & sanctifie the people, and saye: sanctifie youre selues against to morowe: for so sayd the Lord God of Israel There is a damned thinge amonge you (O Israel) & therfore ye cannot stande against youre ennemyes, vntill ye haue put the damned thinge from amonge you. ¹⁴ Tomorowe morning therfore ye shall be brought according to youre tribes. And the tribe which the Lord taketh, shal come according to the kynreds therof. And the kynred which the Lord shall finde gyltie, shall come by housholders And the housholde which the Lord shall finde fautye, shall come man by man. ¹⁵ And he that is founde in the excommunicacion, shalbe burnt with fire, he and all that he hath, because he hath transgressed the couenaunt of the Lord and wrought folye in Israell.

¹⁶ The flowinges of the see appered, and the foundacyons of the worlde were sene, by the reason of the rebukinge of the Lorde, and thorowe the blastynge of the breeth of hys nostrelles.

⁷ Beholde, I will put him in another mynde, and he shall heare tydinges, and so returne to hys awne lande: And I will bringe to passe, that he shall fall vpon the swerde euen in his awne lande.

² I wyll saye vnto God: O do not condempne me, but shewe me the cause, wherfore thou contendest so with me?

⁵ I haue consydred the dayes of olde, and the yeares that are past. ⁶ I call to remembraunce my songe: and in the nyght I commune with myne awne hert, and search out my spretes. ⁷ Wyll the Lord absent him selfe for euer? And will he be no more intreated? ⁸ Is hys mercy clene gone for euer? And is hys promyse come vtterly to an ende for euermore? ⁹ Hath God forgotten to be gracyous? And wyll he shutt vp hys louynge kyndnesse in dyspleasure? Sela. ¹⁰ And I sayde: It is myne awne infirmyte: But I wyll remembre the yeares of the ryght hande of the moost hyest.

¹⁰ Because thou hast forgotten God thy saluacion, and hast not bene myndefull of thy strong rock, therfore shalt thou set pleasaunt plantes, & shalt graffe the braunche of another mans vyne. ¹¹ In the daye shalt thou make thy plant to growe, & early in the mornynge shalt thou make thy sede to florish. The haruest shalbe gone in the daye of enheritaunce, & there shalbe sorowe without hope of comforte.

⁷ The grasse is wythered, the floure falleth awaye. Euen so is the people as grasse, when the breath of the Lorde bloweth vpon them.

⁴ Ye your selues can finde tyme to dwell in siled houses, and shall thys house lye wast?

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

¹⁶ And now (I praye you) consydre from this daye forth, & how it hath gone wt you afore or euer there was layed one stone vpon another in the temple of the Lord: ¹⁷ that when ye came to a corne heape of .xx. bushels, there were scarce ten: & that when ye came to the wyne presse for to powre out .l. pottes of wyne, there were scarce .xx.

⁸ Shulde a man vse falshed and disceat with God as ye vse falshed and disceate with me? yet ye saye wherin vse we disceate wt the? In Tithes & heaue offeringes.

³⁷ He that loueth father, or mother more then me, is not worthy of me. And he that loueth sonne or daughter more then me, is not worthy of me. ³⁸ And he that taketh not hys crosse and foloweth me, is not worthy of me

³⁰ For this cause many are weake and sycke amonge you, and many slepe. ³¹ For If we had iudged oure selues, we shuld not haue bene iudged. ³² But when we are iudged of the Lorde, we are chastened, that we shulde not be damned with the worlde.

⁴ Neuerthelesse, I haue sum what agaynst the, because thou haste lefte thy fyrst loue.

¹⁹ As many as I loue, I rebuke, & chasten, Be feruent therfore, and repent.

¹⁹ and wyll breake the pryde of youre stubburnesse. And I wyll make youre heauen as yron, and youre erth as brasse.

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

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

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

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

⁹ Wherfore, nowe will I go take my corne and wyne agayne in their season, and fet agayne my woll & my flax, whych I gaue her, to couer her shame.

¹⁸ O what a syghynge make the kyne? the bullockes are very euell lykynge, because they haue no pasture: and the shepe are famysshed awaye. ¹⁹ O Lorde, to the wyll I crye: for the fyre hath consumed the goodly pastures of the wyldernes, and the flame hath brent vp all the trees of the felde. ²⁰ Yee, the wylde beastes crye also vnto the: for the water riuers are dryed vp, and the fyre hath consumed the pastures of the wyldernesse.

²² The Lorde shall smyte the with swellynge, wyth feuers, heet, burnynge, and wyth the swerde, with wetherynge, and with blastynge. And they shall folowe the vntyll thou peryshe.

¹ Then spake Elisa vnto the woman (whose sonne he had restored to lyfe agayne) sayinge: vp and go, thou and thyne house, & soiourne wheresoeuer thou canst, for the Lorde hath called for a derth, and the same shall come vpon the land seuen yeres.

²⁹ If he graunte pardon, who wyll condemne? And yf he hyde awaye hys countenaunce, who shalbe able to se it? whether it be to the people or to any man, thus wyll he do.

²¹ They heare my mournyng, but there is none that wyll comforte me. All myne enemies haue hearde of my trouble and are glad therof, because thou hast done it and thou hast brought forth the tyme which thou calledest, when they also shalbe like vnto me.

⁸ Ye forsake the Lord that maketh the .vij. starres & the Orions, that turneth the nyght into daye, and of the daye he maketh darcknesse. He calleth the waters of the see, and poureth them out vpon the playne grounde: the Lorde is hys name.

⁴ Agayne, the Lord shewed me thys visyon: beholde, the Lorde God called the fyre to punysh wythall, and it deuoured the great depe: yee, it consumed a parte all redy.

⁶ He that hath hys dwellynge in heauen, & groundeth hys tabernacle in the earth: He that calleth the waters as the see, & poureth them out vpon the playne grounde: his name is the Lorde.

¹⁷ that when ye came to a corne heape of .xx. bushels, there were scarce ten: & that when ye came to the wyne presse for to powre out .l. pottes of wyne, there were scarce .xx.

¹² And he sayde: laye not thy hande vpon the chylde, nether do any thinge at all vnto him, for now I knowe that thou fearest God, and hast for my sake not spared thyne onely sonne.

¹² Gether the people together: men, wemen and chyldren, and the straunger that is wythin thy gates, that they maye heare, and lerne and feare the Lorde your God, and kepe, and obserue all the wordes of thys lawe,

² Then gat vp Zorobabel the sonne of Salathiel, and Iesua the sonne of Iosedec, and beganne to buylde the house of God at Ierusalem, and with them were the prophetes of God, which helped them.

¹ Prayse the Lorde. Blessed is the man that feareth the Lord, he hath great delyte in hys commaundmentes.

⁷ The feare of the Lorde is the begynnyng of wysdome. But fooles despyse wysdome & instruccion.

¹³ Therfore beware (my sonne) of that doctrine that is besyde thys: for to make many bokes it is an endles worke: and to loude cryinge weryeth the bodye.

¹⁰ Therfore, whoso feareth the Lord among you, let him heare the voyce of his seruaunt, Whoso walketh in darcknesse, and no lyght shyneth vpon him, lett hym put hys trust in the name of the Lorde, and holde him by his God.

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.

¹ In the seconde yeare of kyng Darius, in the .vi. moneth the fyrst daye of the moneth, came the worde of the Lord (by the Prophete Aggeus) vnto Zorobabel the sonne of Salathiel the prynce of Iuda, & to Iosua the sonne of Iosedech the hye prest, sayinge.

² b) the .xxi. daye of the seueth moneth, came the worde of the Lord by the prophete Aggeus, sayenge:

³¹ Then had the congregacyons rest thorowout all Iewry, and Galile, and Samary, and were edifyed, and walked in the feare of the Lord, and multyplied by the comfort of the holy ghost.

⁶ which is come vnto you: euen as it, is frutefull as it is also amonge you, from the daye in the which ye hearde of it, and had experience in the grace of God thorowe the trueth,

⁵ For oure Gospel came not vnto you by worde onely, but also by power, and by the holy goost, and by moch certayntye, as ye knowe, after what maner we be haued oure selues amonge you, for your sake. ⁶ And ye became folowers of vs and of the Lorde, receauynge the worde with moch affliccyon, with ioye of the holy goost:

¹³ For this cause thanke we God also without ceassyng, because that when ye receaued of vs the worde (wherwith ye learned to know God) ye receaued it not as the worde of man: but euen as it was in dede, the worde of God, whych worketh also in you that beleue. ¹⁴ For ye brethren became folowers of the cogregacyons of God whych in Iewry are in Christ Iesu: for ye haue suffred lyke thynges of youre kynsmen, as we oure selues haue suffered of the Iewes.

²⁸ Wherefore, yf we receaue the kyngdome which can not be moued, we haue grace, wherby we maye so serue God, and that we maye please hym with reuerence and godly feare.

¹ And the angell of the Lorde came vp from Gilgall to Bochim, & sayde: I made you to come out of Egypte, and haue brought you vnto the lande which I sware vnto youre fathers. And I sayd: I wyll not breake myne appoyntment that I made with you.

² And he went out to mete Asa, & sayde vnto him: heare me Asa, and all Iuda, Beniamin. The Lorde is with you, whyle ye be with hym, and when ye seke hym, he wyll be founde of you: and agayne, when ye forsake hym, he also wyll forsake you.

¹⁷ Ye shall not nede to fyght in thys battayll: but steppe forth & stande, & beholde the helpe of the Lorde which is with you: feare not, nor let youre hertes fayle you, O ye of Iuda and of Ierusalem. Tomorowe go out agaynst them: for the Lorde wylbe with you.

⁸ With him is an arme of flesh. But with vs is the Lorde oure God, for to helpe vs, and to fyght oure batayles. And the people toke a courage thorow the wordes of Hezekia kyng of Iuda.

⁷ The Lord of Hostes is wt vs, the God of Iacob is oure refuge. Sela.

¹¹ The Lorde of Hostes is wyth vs, the God of Iacob is oure defence. Sela.

⁸ And shal breake in vpon Iuda, flowinge & increasing in power, tyll he gett him by the neck. He shall fyll also the widenesse of thy lande with hys brode winges, O Emanuel. ⁹ Breake downe (o ye peple of Assur) and ye shall be, broken downe: herken to all ye of farre countrees. Muster you, and you shalbe broken downe, prepare you to batell and you shall be torne in peces: ¹⁰ take your councell together, yet must your councel come to naught: go in hande withall, yet shall it not prospere: for God is with vs.

¹⁰ be not afrayed, for I am wt the. Melt not away as waxe, for I am thy God, to strength the, helpe the, & to kepe the wt this ryght hande of myne.

¹⁹ Who is blinde, but my seruaunt? Or so deafe, as my messaunger, whom I sent vnto them? For who is so blynde (faye they) as the perfecte man and so blynde as the Lordes seruaunte?

² Yf thou goest thorow the water, I wilbe with the, that the stronge floudes shulde not pluck the awaye. And yf thou walckest thorowe the fyre, it shall not burne the, and the flame shall not kyndle vpon the.

²⁶ He doth set vp the purpose of his seruaunte, and fulfylleth the councell of his messaungers Concernynge Ierusalem, he sayeth: It shalbe inhabited. And of the cyties of Iuda: They shalhe buylded agayne, and I will repayre theyr decayed places.

²⁰ & so shall I make the a stronge brasen wall agaynst this people. They shall fight agaynst the, but they shall not preuayle. For I my selfe will be wt the, to helpe the, and deliuer the, sayeth the Lorde.

¹¹ But the Lord stode by me, lyke a myghtie giaunt: therfore my persecutours fell, & coulde do nothing. They shalbe sore confounded, for they haue done vnwysely, they shal haue an euerlastinge shame.

¹¹ For I am with the to helpe the, sayth the Lorde. And though I shall destroie all the people, amonge whom I haue scatered the, yet wyll I not destroye the, but correcte the, and that with discretion. For I knowe that thou art in no wyse without faute.

¹⁷ Thou sonne of man, I haue made the a watchman vnto the house of Israell: therfore take good hede to the wordes of my mouthe, & geue them warnynge at my commaundement.

⁷ For in the prestes lyppes shulde be sure knowledge, that men may seke the lawe at his mouth, for he is a messaunger of the Lorde of hostes.

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

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

²⁰ For where two or thre are gathered to gether in my name, there am I in the myddes of them

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.

⁹ Then spake the Lorde to Paul in the nyght by a visyon: be not afrayde, but speake, and holde not thy peace: ¹⁰ for I am with the, & noman shall inuade the that shall hurte the. For I haue moch people in this cytie.

³¹ What shall we then saye to these thinges? yf God be on oure syde, who can be agaynst vs?

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

¹⁷ Not wythstandynge the Lorde, assysted me, and strengthed me, that by me the preachynge shulde be fulfylled to the vtmost, and that all the Gentyls shulde heare. And I was delyuered out of the mouth of the lyon.

²² The Lorde Iesus Christ be with thy sprete. Grace be with you: Amen.

²⁶ and God stered vp the sprete of Phul kynge of Assiria, and the sprete of Thiglath Pilneser kynge of Assiria, and caryed them awaye: euen the Rubenytes, the Gaddites, and the halfe trybe of Manasse, and brought them vnto Halah, Habor, Hara: and to the ryuer Gozan, vnto thys daye.

²² And the first yeare of Cyrus kynge of Persia (whan the worde of the Lorde spoken by the mouth of Ieremia, was fynisshed) the Lord stered vp the sprete of Cyrus kyng of Persia, that he made a proclamacion thorow out all his kyngdome, and that by writynge, sayeng:

¹ In the firste yere of Cyrus kynge of Persia (that the word of the Lord spoken by the mouth of Ieremy might be fulfilled) the Lord stered vp the spret of Cyrus kynge of Persia, that he caused to be proclaymed thorow out all hys empire, & to be wryten, saying:

⁵ Then gat vp the principal fathers of Iuda and Beniamin, & the prestes & leuites, and all they whose sprete God had raysed to go vp, & to buylde the house of the Lord, which is at Ierusalem.

⁸ Be it knowne vnto the kyng, that we went into the lande of Iewry to the house of the great God, which is buylded wt mighty greate stones, and beames are layed in the walles, and the worcke goeth fast forth, and prospereth in their handes.

²⁷ Blessed be the Lorde God of oure fathers, which so hath inspired the kynges hert, to garnysh the house of the Lorde, that is at Ierusalem: ²⁸ and hath enclyned his mercy vnto me in the presence of the kyng, & his councelers, and before all the kynges hye estates. And I was conforted (euen as the hande of the Lorde my God was vpon me) & so geathered I the heades of Israell together, that they myghte go vp with me.

⁶ And so buylded we the wall, & it was ioyned whole together, vnto the half heygth therof. And the people were mynded to laboure.

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

²¹ Moreouer, the .xxiiii. daye of the moneth came the worde of the Lorde vnto Aggeus agayne, sayenge:

⁴ Ther are diuersites of gyftes, yet but one sprete. ⁵ And ther are differences of administracyons, and yet but one Lorde. ⁶ And ther are dyuers maners of operacyons, and yet but one God whych worcketh all in all. 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.

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

¹⁶ Thankes be vnto God, which put the same good mynde for you in the herte of Titus,

¹² Wherfore (my dearly beloued) as ye haue alwayes obeyed, not when I was present onely, but nowe moche more in myne absence, euen so worcke out youre awne saluacion with feare and tremblyng. ¹³ For it is God, which worketh in you, both the wyll and also the dede, euen of good wyll.

²¹ make you parfect in all good workes, to do hys wyll, and bryng to passe, that the thyng which ye do, maye be pleasaunt in his syght thorowe Iesus Christ. To whom be prayse for euer whyle the world endureth. Amen.

²⁰ is not the sede yet in the barne? haue not the vynes, the fyggetrees, the pomgranates, and olyue trees bene yet vnfrutefull? but from thys daye forth, I shal make them to prospere.
