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.

²¹ She shall brynge forth a sonne, and thou shalt cal hys name Iesus. For he shall saue his people from theyr synnes. ²² Al this was done, that it might be fulfilled, which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying: 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.

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

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

¹ Thou therfore my sonne, be stronge in the grace (that is thorow Christ Iesu)

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.

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.

⁷ Be pacient therfore brethren, vnto the commynge of the Lord. Beholde, the husbande man wayteth for the precyous frute of the earth, & hath longe pacience ther vpon, vntyll he receaue the early & the latter rayne. ⁸ Be ye also pacient therfore, and settle youre hertes, for the commynge of the Lorde draweth nye. ⁹ Grudge not one agaynst another brethren lest ye be damned. Beholde, the iudge standeth before the dore.

⁷ Beholde, he cometh with cloudes, & all eyes shall se him, & they also which pearsed him. And all kynredes of the erth shall wayle. Euen so: Amen.

¹⁰ Feare none of those thynges, which thou shalt suffre. Beholde, the deuyll shall caste some of you into preson, to tempte you, & ye shall haue tribulacyon ten dayes. Be faythfull vnto the deeth, and I wyll geue the a croune of lyfe.

²⁰ He whych testifyeth these thynges, sayeth: be it. I come quyckly. Amen. Euen so come Lorde Iesu.

¹¹ And the Lorde sayde vnto hym: who hath made mans mouth, or who hath made the domme or the deaff, the seynge or the blynde? haue not I the Lorde?

¹⁶ he roundeth them in the eares, he infourmeth them, and sheweth them playnely,

⁸ The Lorde helpeh them vp that are fallen, the Lorde careth for the ryghteous.

¹² The eare to heare, the eye to se: the Lorde hath made them both.

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

³ The eyes of the seynge shall not be dym, and the cares of them that heare, shall take diligent hede. ⁴ The hert of the vnwyse shall attayne to knowledge, and the vnparfyte tong shall speake playnely and distinctlye.

⁶ I the Lord haue called the in ryghteousnes, and led the by the hande. Therfore wyll I also defende the, and geue the for a couenaunnt of the people, and to be the lyght of the Gentiles. ⁷ That thou mayest open the eyes of the blynde, let out the prisoners from ther bondes & them that syt in darcknesse, out of the dongeon house.

¹⁶ I wyll bring the blinde into a strete, that they knowe not. and lede them into a fote path, that they are ignoraunt in. I shall make darcknesse lyght before them, and the thynge that is croked to be streyght. These thinges haue I done vnto them, and not forsaken them:

⁸ Bringe forth that people, which is blinde & yet hath eyes, which are deafe although they haue eares.

⁸ Moreouer, there be some wherof thou hast nether hearde ner knowne, nether haue they bene opened vnto thyne eares afore tyme. For I knewe that thou woldest maliciously offende, therfore haue I called the a transgressoure, euen from thy mothers wombe.

⁴ The Lorde God hath geuen me a well lerned tonge, so that I can confort them which are troubled: yee, and that in due ceason. He wakeneth myne eare vp by tymes in the mornynge: by tymes in the morninge, I saye, he will waken myne eare, that I myght herken as to the scole masters.

¹⁰ But vnto whom shall I speake, whom shall I warne that he maye take hede? Their eares are so vncircumcised, that they maye not heare. Beholde, they take the worde of God but for a scorne, & haue no lust therto.

²⁷ And whan Iesus departed thence, two blynde men folowed him, cryinge & sayinge: O thou sonne of Dauid, haue mercy on vs: ²⁸ And when he was come into the house, the blynde came to him. And Iesus sayeth vnto them: Beleue ye, that I am able to do this? They saye vnto him: Lord, we beleue. ²⁹ Then touched he their eyes, sayinge: accordynge to youre fayth be it vnto you. ³⁰ And their eyes were opened. And Iesus charged them sayinge. Se that no man knowe of it.

³ & sayde vnto hym: Art thou he that shall come: or do we loke for another. ⁴ Iesus answered and sayd vnto them: Go, and shewe Iohn agayne, what ye haue heard and sene. ⁵ The blynd receaue their sight: the lame walke, the lepers are clensed: and the deef heare, the deed are raysed vp, & the poore receaue the glad tidinges of the gospell.

²² Then was brought to him a blynd & domme man, that was vexed with a deuyll, & he healed him, in somoch, that the blynd and domme, both spake and sawe.

³⁰ And beholde, two blynd men sittinge by the waysyde, when they hearde that Iesus passed by, they cried sayinge: O lord thou sonne of Dauid, haue mercy on vs. ³¹ And the people rebuked them, because they shulde holde their peace. But they cried the more sayinge: haue mercy on vs. O Lord thou sonne of Dauid. ³² And Iesus stode still, and called them, & sayde: what wyll ye that I shall do vnto you: ³³ They saye vnto him: Lorde, that oure eyes maye be opened: ³⁴ So Iesus had compassion on them, and touched their eyes, & immediatly their eyes receaued syght. And they folowed him.

¹⁴ And the blynde & the halt came to him in the temple, & he healed them.

³² And they broughte vnto him one that was deaffe and had an impediment in hys speche, and they prayd hym to put his hande vpon him. ³³ And when he had taken hym asyde from the people, he put hys fyngers into hys eares, and dyd spyt, & touched hys tonge, ³⁴ and loked vp to heauen, and syghed, and sayde vnto hym: Ephata, that is to saye, be opened. ³⁵ And strayght waye his eares were opened, and the stryng of his tounge was lowsed, and he spake playne. ³⁶ And he commaunded them, that they shulde tell no man. But the more he forbad them, so moch the more a greate deale they publisshed, ³⁷ saying: He hath done all thynges well, he hath made both the deaffe to heare, and the dome to speake.

²² And he came to Bethsayda, and they brought a blinde man vnto hym, and desired hym to touche him. ²³ And he caught the blynde by the hand, and lead him out of the towne: and whan he had spyt in his eyes, and put his handes vpon him, he asked him yf he sawe ought. ²⁴ And he loked vp, & sayd: I se the men: for I perceaue them walke, as they were trees. ²⁵ After that, he put hys handes agayne vpon hys eyes, and made hym se. And he was restored, and sawe euery man clearly.

²⁵ When Iesus sawe that the people came runnyng together vnto him, he rebuked the foule sprete, saying vnto hym: Thou domme & deeff sprete, I charge the come out of him, and entre nomore into him. ²⁶ And the sprete (whan he had cried, & rent hym sore) came out of hym, and he was as one that had bene dead, in so moch that many sayd: he is deed.

¹⁸ The sprete of the Lord vpon me, because he hath annoynted me: to preache the Gospell to the pore he hath sent me: to heale the broken harted, to preach delyueraunce to the captyue, & syght to the blynde: frely to set at liberte them that are brosed,

²⁰ When the men were come vnto him, they sayde: Iohn baptiste sent vs vnto the, saying: Art thou he that shulde come? or shall we wayte for another? ²¹ And in that same houre he cured many of their infyrmites and plages, and of euyll spretes, and vnto many that were blynd he gaue sight. ²² And he answered, & sayd vnto them: Go your waye and bring worde agayne to Iohn, what thinges ye haue sene & heard, how that the blynde se, the halt go, the lepers are clensed, the deaff heare, the dead ryse agayne: to the poore is the glad tydinges preached, ²³ and happy is he that is not offended at me.

¹ And as Iesus passed by, he sawe a man, which was blynde from hys byrth. ² And his discyples asked him sayinge: Master, who dyd synne, this man, or hys father and mother, that he was borne blynd? ³ Iesus answered: Nether hath this man sinned, nor yet his father and mother: but that the worckes of God shulde be shewed in hym. ⁴ I must, worcke the worckes of hym that sent me, whyle it is daye. The nyght commeth, when no man can worcke. ⁵ As longe as I am in the worlde. I am the lyght of the worlde. ⁶ Assone as he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made claye of the spetle, and rubbed the claye on the eyes of the blynde, ⁷ & sayd vnto him: Go, wesshe the in the pole of Siloe, which (by interpretacion) is asmoche to saye as, sent. He went his waye therfore, and wasshed, & came agayne, seinge:

³⁹ And Iesus sayd vnto him: I am come vnto iudgement into this worlde: that they which se not, myght se: and that they which se, might be made blynde.

³⁷ And som of them sayde: coulde not he which opened the eyes of the blynde, haue made also, that this man shulde not haue dyed?

¹⁷ And Ananias went his waye, and entred into the house, and put hys handes on hym, and sayd: brother Saul, the Lord that apperyd vnto the in the waye as thou camest, hath sent me, that thou myghtest receaue thy syght, and be fylled with the holy ghost. ¹⁸ And immediatly ther fell from hys eyes as it had bene scales and he receaued syght: and arose, and was baptised,

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

¹⁷ that the God of oure Lorde Iesus Chryst, the father of glory, maye geue vnto you the sprete of wysdome and reuelacyon, by the knowledge of him selfe, ¹⁸ and lyghten the eyes of youre myndes, that ye maye knowe what the hope is, where vnto he hath called you, and howe riche the glorye is of his inheritaunce vpon the saynctes,

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

⁶ Beholde, I stonde before the besyde a rocke that is in Horeb: & thou shalt smyte the rocke, and there shall come water out therof, that the people maye dryncke. And Moses dyd euen so before the eyes of the elders of Israel.

¹¹ And Moses lyfte vp hys hande, and with hys rodd he smote the rocke two tymes, and the water came oute aboundantly, and the multitude drancke and theyr beastes also.

¹⁵ and gauest them bred from heauen when they were hongrye, & broughtest forth water for them out of the rock when they were thyrstye: and promysedst them, that they shuld go in, and take possessyon of the land, ouer whych thou haddest lyfte vp thyne hand for to geue them.

⁴ The ryuers of the floude therof shall make glad the cytie of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the most hyest.

¹⁵ Thou shalt open my lyppes (O Lord) my mouth shal shewe thy prayse.

¹⁵ In the daye tyme also he led them wyth a cloude, and all the nyght thorow wt a light of fyre. ¹⁶ He cloaue the hard rockes in the wyldernesse, and gaue them drincke therof, as it had bene out of the greate deapth.

¹ But the deserte and wildernes shall reioyce, the waste grounde shalbe glad and florysh as the lylly.

¹⁷ When the thyrsty and poore seke water & fynde none, and when theyr tonge is drye of thyrst. I geue it them sayth the Lorde. I the God of Israel forsake them not. ¹⁸ I brynge forth floudes in the hylles, and welles in the playne feldes. I turne the wyldernes to ryuers, and the drye lande to condyttes of water.

¹⁹ Beholde I shall make a newe thynge, and shortly shall it appeare, & shall you not knowe it? I wyll make stretes in the deserte, and ryuers of water in the wyldernes: ²⁰ The wylde beastes shall worshyppe me: the dragons, and the yonge Estriches. For I shall geue water in the wyldernes, and streames in the desert: that may geue drincke to my people, whom I chose.

²¹ that they suffred no thurst, he lead them thorow the wildernes, and caused the waters to flowe out vnto them from out of the rocke. He claue the rocke a sonder, and the water gusshed out.

¹⁰ They shall nether honger, ner thurst: heate nor sunne shall not hurte them. For he that fauoureth them, shall leade them, and geue them dryncke of the springe welles. ¹¹ I wyll make wayes vpon all my mountaynes, and my fote pathes shalbe exalted.

¹ After this, he brought me agayne before the dore of the house: and beholde, there gushed oute waters from vnder the postes of the house eastwarde, for the house stode towarde the east, that ran downe vpon the ryght syde of the house, which lyeth to the aulter southwarde. ² Then caryed he me out to the north dore, and brought me forth there rounde about by the vtmost dore that turneth eastwarde. Beholde, there came forth the water vpon the right syde: ³ Now whan the man that had the meterodde in hys hande went vnto the east dore, he measured a .M. cubites, and then he brought me thorowe the water, euen to the ancles: ⁴ so he measured yet a thousande, and brought me thorowe the water agayne vnto the knees: yet measured he a thousande, and brought me thorowe the water vnto the loynes. ⁵ After this he measured a thousande agayne, then was it soch a ryuer, that I myght not wade thorowe it. The water was so depe, that it was nedeful to haue swimmed, for it might not be waded ouer. ⁶ And he sayde vnto me: hast thou sene thys, O thou sonne of man? and with that, he brought me to the ryuer banck agayne. ⁷ Nowe when I came there, there stode many trees vpon ether syde of the ryuer bancke. ⁸ Then sayde he vnto me: Thys water that floweth oute towarde the east, and runneth downe into the playne felde, commeth into the see: and from the see runneth out: & maketh the waters whole. ⁹ Yee, all that lyue & moue, wherunto thys ryuer commeth, shall recouer. And where thys water commeth, ther shalbe moch fysh. For all that commeth to this water, shalbe lusty and whole. ¹⁰ By this ryuer shall the fysshers stande from Engaddy vnto En Eglaim, & there spread out their nettes: for there shalbe great heapes of fysh, lyke as in the mayne see. ¹¹ As for his claye and pyttes, they shall not be whole, for why? it shalbe occupyed for salt.

⁸ In that tyme shall there waters of lyfe runne out from Ierusalem: the halfe potte of them towarde the east see, and the other halfe towarde the vttermost see, and shall continue both somer and wynter.

³² As they went out, beholde they brought to him a domme man possessed of a deuyll. ³³ And whan the deuyll was cast out, the domme spake. And the people merueyled, sayinge: it was neuer so sene in Israell.

⁵ The blynd receaue their sight: the lame walke, the lepers are clensed: and the deef heare, the deed are raysed vp, & the poore receaue the glad tidinges of the gospell.

³⁰ And moche people came vnto him, bringing wt them those that were lame, blind, deafe, maymed, and other many: & cast them downe at Iesus fete And he healed them: ³¹ in so moch, that the people wondered, whan they sawe the domme speake, the maymed to be whole, the lame to walke, and the blynde to se. And they glorified the God of Israel.

¹⁷ And one of the company answered, & sayde: Master, I haue brought vnto the my sonne, whych hath a dome sprete. ¹⁸ And whensoeuer he taketh him, he teareth him, and he fometh, and gnassheth with hys teth, and pineth awaye. And I spake to thy disciples that they shuld caste hym out, and they coulde not. ¹⁹ He answereth him, and sayth: O faithles nacion, how longe shall I be wt you? How longe shall I suffre you? Brynge hym vnto me. ²⁰ And they brought him vnto hym. And assone as the sprete sawe hym, he tare him. And he fell downe on the ground, walowing & foming. ²¹ And he asketh his father: how longe is it ago: sens thys happened hym? And he sayde: of a chylde: ²² & oft tymes it hath cast hym into the fyre, & into the water, to destroye hym. But yf thou canst do eny thing, haue mercy on vs and helpe vs. ²³ Iesus sayd vnto hym: yf thou couldest beleue all thynges are possyble to hym that beleueth. ²⁴ And streyght waye the father of the chyld cried with teares, saieng, Lord, I beleue, helpe thou myne vnbelefe. ²⁵ When Iesus sawe that the people came runnyng together vnto him, he rebuked the foule sprete, saying vnto hym: Thou domme & deeff sprete, I charge the come out of him, and entre nomore into him.

⁶⁴ And hys mouth was opened immediatly, & his tonge also, & he spake, and praysed God.

¹⁴ And he was castinge out a deuyll, and the same was domme. And when he had cast out the deuill, the domme spake, & the people wondred.

⁸ Iesus sayeth vnto hym ryse, take vp thy bed, & walke. ⁹ And immediatly the man was made whole, and toke vp hys bed, and walked. And the same daye was the Saboth.

³⁷ In the last daye, that great daye of the feast Iesus stode, and cryed, sayinge: If eny man thyrst, lett him come vnto me, & drincke. ³⁸ He that beleueth on me (as sayeth the scripture) out of his belly shall flowe ryuers of water of lyfe. 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.

² And a certayne man that was halt from hys mothers wombe, was brought, whom they layde daylie at the gate of the temple (which is called bewtyfull) to aske almes of them that entred into the temple.

⁶ Then sayde Peter: Syluer and golde haue I none such as I haue, geue I the. In the name of Iesus Chryst of Nazareth, ryse vp and walke. ⁷ And he toke hym by the ryght hand, and lyfte hym vp. And immediatly hys fete and anclebones receaued strength. ⁸ And he sprange, stode, and walked, and entred with them into the temple, walkynge, and leapynge, and praysynge God.

⁷ For vncleane spretes cryinge with loude voyce, came out of many that were possessed of them. And many taken wt palsyes, & many that halted, were healed.

⁸ And ther sate a certayne man at Lystra weake in hys fete, beynge creple from his mothers wombe, and neuer had walked. 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.

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

¹ And he shewed me a pure ryuer of water of lyfe, clere as Crystall: procedynge out of the seate of God, and the lambe.

¹⁷ And the sprete and the bryde saye come. And let him that heareth, saye also: come. And let him that is a thyrst: come. And let whosoeuer wyll, take of the water of lyfe, fre.

²² wild cattes shal crye in the palaces, and Dragons shalbe in the pleasaunt houses. And as for Babylons tyme it is at hand, & her dayes shal not be prolonged.

⁶ The waters shalbe drawen out: the ryuers of Egypte shalbe emptyed & dryed vp, the redes and flagges shalbe cut downe.

¹³ Thornes shall growe in their palaces, nettels and thistles in their strongholdes, that the dragons may haue their pleasure therin, and that they maye be a court for estryches.

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.

¹⁰ They shall nether honger, ner thurst: heate nor sunne shall not hurte them. For he that fauoureth them, shall leade them, and geue them dryncke of the springe welles.

¹⁰ And though the nombre of the chyldren of Israel be as the sande of the see, whych can nether be measured ner tolde: yet in the place where it is sayde vnto them ye be not my people: euen there shall it be thus reported of them they be the chyldren of the lyuynge God. ¹¹ Then shall the chyldren of Iuda and the chyldren of Israel be gathered together agayne and chose them selues one head, and then departe out of the lande: for greate shalbe the daye of Israel.

⁴³ Therfore saye I vnto you, the kyngdom of God shalbe taken from you, and geuen to a nacion, whych shall brynge forth the frutes therof.

²⁹ And they shall come from the east and from the west, and from the north and from the south, and shall syt downe in the kyngdome of God.

¹⁴ But whosoeuer drincketh of the water that I shall geue him, shall neuer bemore a thyrst: but the water that I shall geue him, shalbe in him a well of water, spryngynge vp into euerlastinge lyfe.

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

⁹ Do ye not knowe, how that the vnryghteous shall not inheret the kyngdome of God? Be not deceaued. For nether fornicatours, nether worshyppers of ymages, nether aduoutrers, nether weaklynges, nether abusers of them selues wyth mankynde, ¹⁰ nether theues, nether couetouse, nether dronkardes, nether cursed speakers, nether pyllers, shall inheret the kyngdome of God. ¹¹ And soch were some of you, but ye are wasshed: but ye are sanctifyed: but ye are iustifyed by the name of the Lorde Iesus, & by the sprete of oure God.

¹⁹ We knowe, that we are of God, and the worlde is all together set on wyckednes. ²⁰ We knowe, that the sonne of God is come, and hath geuen vs a mynde to knowe hym which is true: & we are in hym that is true, through is sonne Iesu Christ. This same is very God, and eternall lyfe.

⁹ And the great dragon, that olde serpent, called the deuyll & Sathanas, was cast out. Which deceaueth all the worlde. And he was cast into the erth & his angelles were cast out also ¹⁰ And I hearde a lowde voyce sayinge: in heauen is now made saluacyon and strength & the kyngdome of oure God, & the power of hys Chryst. For is cast doune, which accused them before God daye and nyght. ¹¹ And they ouercame him by the bloude of the lambe, and by the worde of their testimony, & they loued not their lyues vnto the deeth. ¹² Therfore reioyce heuens, & ye that dwell in them. Woo to the inhabiters of the erth, and of the see: for the deuyll is come downe vnto you, which hath great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short tyme.

² And he cryed myghtely with a stronge voyce, sayinge: Great Babylon is fallen, is fallen, and is become the inhabitacion of deuyls, and the holde of all fowle spretes, and a cage of all vncleane and hatefull byrdes,

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

⁷ The lawe of the Lord is an vndefylled lawe conuerting the soule. The testimony of the Lorde is sure, and geueth wisdome vnto the symple.

⁴ Yee though I walke thorowe the valleye of the shadow of death, I wyll feare no euell, for thou art wt me thy rodde & thy staffe comforte me.

⁸ Gracious & ryghteous is the Lorde, therfore wyll he teache synners in the waye. ⁹ Them that be meke, shall he guyde in iudgement: & soch as be gentle, them shall he lerne his waye.

¹³⁰ When thy worde goeth forth, it geueth lyght and vnderstandynge euen vnto the symple.

¹⁸ The pathe of the ryghtewes shyneth as the lyght, that is euer brighter and brighter vnto the perfect daye.

²⁰ I wyll guyde the in the waye of ryghteousnes, and in the strete of iudgement.

³ Then shall the remnaunt in Sion & the remnaunt at Ierusalem be called holy: Namely all soch as are wrytten among the lyuynge at Ierusalem:

¹⁶ And thus shal there be awaye for his people, that remayneth from the Assirians, lyke as it happened to the Israelites, what tyme they departed out of the land of Egypt.

²³ In that daye shall there be a comen waye out of Egypte into Assyria, and Assyria shall come into Egypte, & Egypte in to Assyria, so that the Egypcians and the Assyrians shall serue the Lorde together.

²¹ Yee, and thyne care shall heare the talkynge of hym that doeth speake behynde the. Thys is the waye, walke ye in it. Turne not aside nether to the ryght hande ner to the lyft.

⁸ The stretes are wast, ther walketh no man therin: God hath broken the appoyntment, the cyties are cast awaye, & men are nothing regarded

³ A voyce crieth in wildernes. Prepare the waye for the Lorde in the wildernesse, make streyght the path for oure God in the deserte. ⁴ Let all valleyes be exalted, & euery mountayne & hill be layed lowe, what so is croked, let it be made strayght: & let the rough be made playne feldes.

¹⁰ They shall nether honger, ner thurst: heate nor sunne shall not hurte them. For he that fauoureth them, shall leade them, and geue them dryncke of the springe welles. ¹¹ I wyll make wayes vpon all my mountaynes, and my fote pathes shalbe exalted. ¹² And beholde, they shall come from far: lo, some from the north and west, some from the lande of Sinis, which is in the south.

¹ Vp Sion vp, take thy strength vnto the: put on thyne honest rayment O Ierusalem, thou holy citie. For from thys tyme forth, there shall no vncircumcysed ner vncleane person come in the.

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

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

¹⁰ Go you, go you thorowe the gatis, make cleane the way, make playne, make playne the fote pathe, & take awaye the stones, out of yt & set out a token for the people.

²¹ Get the watchmen, prouyde teachers for the, set thyne hert vpon the ryght waye, that thou shuldest walke, and turne agayn, O thou daughter of Israel, turne agayne to these cityes of thyne.

³⁹ And I wyll geue them one hert and one waye, that they maye feare me all the daies of their lyfe, that they and their chyldren after them maye prospere. 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.

⁴ In those dayes and at that tyme, sayth the Lord: the chyldren of Israel shall come, they and the chyldren of Iuda, wepinge and making haste, and shall seke the Lorde their God. ⁵ They shall aske the waye to Sion, thyther shall they turne their faces, sayinge: Come and we wyll cleaue to the Lorde, in a couenaunt that neuer shalbe broken.

¹² This is the descripcion of the house. Aboue, vpon the mount rounde about all the corners, it shalbe the holyest of all. Beholde, that is the descripcyon and fashyon of the house.

⁹ Therfore thus sayth the Lorde God: Of all the straungers that dwell among the chyldren of Israel, no straunger (whose hert and fleshe is not circumcised) shall come within my sanctuary.

¹⁷ Thus shall ye knowe, that I the Lorde youre God dwell vpon my holy mounte of Syon. Then shall Ierusalem be holy, & there shall no straungers go thorowe her any more.

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.

¹³ Enter in at the strayte gate: for wyde is the gate, and broade is the waye that leadeth to destruccion: and many there be which go in ther at. ¹⁴ For straite is the gate, and narowe is the waye, which leadeth vnto lyfe, and fewe there be that finde it.

¹⁷ If eny man wyll be obedient vnto his wyll, he shall knowe of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speake of my selfe.

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

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

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

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

¹¹ For the grace of God, that bryngeth saluacyon vnto all men, hath appeared ¹² and teacheth vs that we shulde denye vngodlynes and worldy lustes, & that we shulde lyue soberly, and ryghteously, and godly in thys present worlde, ¹³ lokynge for the blessed hope & appearinge of the glory of the greate God, & of oure sauioure Iesu Christ, 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.

²⁰ by the new & lyuing waye whych he hath prepared for vs, through the vayle (that is to saye, by his flesshe.) ²¹ And seing also that we haue an hye prest whych is ruler ouer the house of God, ²² let vs draw nye wt a true herte in a sure fayth, sprynckeled in our hertes & the euyll conscience put awaye & wesshed in our bodyes wt pure water: ²³ let vs kepe the profession of our hope, wt out waueryng (for he is faithfull that promysed)

¹⁴ Folow peace with all men and holynes: with out the which no man shall se the Lorde.

¹⁴ as obedient chyldren, that ye geue not youre selues ouer vnto youre olde lustes, ¹⁵ by whych ye were led, whan as yet ye were ignoraunt of Christ: but as he which called you, is holy, euen so be ye holy also in all maner of conuersacyon,

⁹ But ye are a chosen generacion, a royall presthod, an holy nacyon, a people whych are wonne: that ye shuld shewe the vertues of hym, that called you out of darcknes into hys meruclous lyght, ¹⁰ whych in tyme past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which some time had not optayned mercye, but now haue optayned mercye.

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

²⁰ Neuerthelesse, ye haue an oyntment of him that is holy, and ye knowe all thinges.

²⁷ And the anoyntinge which ye haue receaued of him dwelleth in you. And ye nede not, that eny man teach you: but as the anoyntinge teacheth you of all thinges, and is true, and no lye, and as it hath taught you, euen so byde therin.

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. ¹⁶ They shall honger no more, nether thyrst, nether shall the sunne lyght on them, nether eny heate. ¹⁷ For the lambe whych is in the myddes of the seate, shall fede them, & shall leade them vnto fountaynes of lyuynge water, & God shall wype awaye all teares from their eyes.

²⁷ And there shall enter into it none vncleane thinge, nether whatsoeuer worketh abhomynacion or maketh lyes: but they only which are wrytten in the lambes boke of lyfe.

¹³ Thou in thy mercye hast caryed thys people which thou deliueredst: & hast brought them in thy strength vnto thy holy habitatyon.

⁶ And I wyll sende peace in the lande, & ye shall slepe without any man to make you a frayde. And I wyll rydd euell beastes out of the lande, and there shall no swerde goo thorow out youre lande.

² Let them geue thanckes whom the Lorde hath redemed, and delyuered from the hande of the enemye.

⁶ The wolfe shall dwell with the lambe, and the Leoparde shal lye downe by the goate. Bullockes, Lyons & catell shall kepe company together, so that a lytle chylde shall rule them. ⁷ The kowe & the Bere shall fede together, & their yonge ones shall lye together. The Lyon shall eate strawe lyke the oxe, or the kowe. ⁸ The childe whyle he sucketh, shal haue a desire to the serpentes nest, and when he is weaned, he shall put hys hande into the Cockatryce denne. ⁹ No man shall do euel to another, no man shal destroye another, in all the hyll of my holynes. For the earth shalbe full of the knowledge of the Lord, euen as the see floweth ouer with water.

⁶ The heauy burthen of the beastes of the south in a lande of trouble and anguysshe, from whence shall come the yonge and olde lion, the vyper and fyrye serpent that flyeth agaynste them that vpon coltes beare theyr riches, and vpon camels their treasures, to a people that can do them no good.

¹² For they whom the Lord delyuereth, shalbe called the holy people: & as for the: thou shalt be named the greatlye occupyed, & not the forsaken cytie:

⁴ For the daye of vengeaunce is assigned in my hert, & the yeare when my people shall be delyuered, is come.

²⁵ The wolff and the lambe shall fede together, and the lyon shall eate haye lyke the bullock. But earth shalbe the serpentes meate. There shall no man hurte ner slaye another, in all my holy hyll, sayeth the Lorde.

²⁵ Moreouer, I wyll make a couenaunt of peace with them and dryue al euell beastes out of the lande: so that they maye dwell safely in the wildernesse, and slepe in the woddes.

¹⁸ Then wyll I make a couenaunt with them, with the wylde beastes, with the foules of the ayre, and wyth euery thynge that crepeth vpon the earth. As for bowe, swerde and battel, I will destroye soch out of the lande, & wyll make them to slepe safely.

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 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.

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:

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,

¹ And I sawe an Angel come downe from heauen, hauyng the kaye of the bottomlesse pyt, and a greate chayne in hys hand.

⁷ They wyll go from strength, and vnto the God of Goddes appeareth euery one of them in Sion.

⁸ As for death, he hath destroyed it for euer. And the Lorde God shall wype awaye teares from all faces, and the rebuke of his people shall he take a waie out of all the earth. For so the Lorde hath sayde.

¹⁹ Yf the people remayne in Syon and at Ierusalem, thou shalt not be in heuines: but at the voyce of thy complaynte shall he haue mercy vpon the. And when he heareth it he shall geue the an answer.

¹⁰ Art not thou the same arme, that hast wounded the proude Egypt, and hewen the Dragon in peces? Art not thou euen he, which hast dryed vp the depe of the see, which hast made playne the see grounde, that the delyuered myght goo thorow? ¹¹ Therfore the redemed of the Lord shall turne agayne, & come wyth ioye vnto Sion, there to endure for euer? That myrth & gladnesse myght be with them: that sorowe and wo myght fle from them?

²⁰ Thy Sunne shall neuer go downe, and thy Moone shall not be hydde, for the Lorde hym selfe shalbe thy euerlastynge lyght, and thy sorowfull dayes shalbe ended.

¹⁹ yee, I my selfe will reioyse wyth Ierusalem, & be glad wt my people. And the voyce of wepynge and waylinge shall not be herde in her from thence forth.

¹¹ For the Lord hath redemed Iacob, and ryd hym from the hande of the violent. ¹² And they shall come, & reioyce vpon the hyll of Sion, and shall haue plenteousnes of goodes, which the Lorde shall geue them. Namely, wheate, wyne, oyle, yonge shepe & calues. And theyr conscience shalbe as a well watred garden, for they shall nomore be hongrye. ¹³ Then shall the mayde reioyce in the daunce, yee, both yonge and olde folkes. For I wyll turne their sorowe into gladnesse, and wyll conforte them from theyr sorowes and make them ioyfull. ¹⁴ I wyll powre plenteousnesse vpon the hertes of the prestes, and my people shalbe satisfyed with my goodnesse, sayth the Lord

¹¹ shall the voyce of gladnes be hearde agayne, the voyce of the brydegrome & of the bryde, the voyce of them that shall singe: Prayse the Lorde of hoostes, for he is louynge and hys mercy endureth for euer: and the voyce of them that shall offer vp giftes in the house of the Lorde. For I will restore the captiuitie of this lande, as it was afore, sayth the Lorde.

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

²² And ye now therfore haue sorowe: but I will se you agayne, and your hertes shall reioyse, and your ioye shal no man take from you.

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

²¹ and kepe your selues in the loue of God, lokynge for the mercy of oure Lord Iesus Christ, vnto eternall lyfe.

⁹ After this I behelde, & lo, a gret multitude (which noman coulde nombre) of all nacyons & people, & tonges, stode before the seate, & before the lambe, clothed with longe white garmentes, & palmes in their handes, ¹⁰ & cryed with a lowde voyce, sayinge: saluacyon be asscribed to him that sytteth vpon the seate of oure God, & vnto the lambe. ¹¹ And all the angels stode in the compase of the seate, & of the elders & of the foure bestes, & fell before the seat on their faces, and worshypped God, ¹² sayinge, Amen: Blessinge & glory & wysdome & thankes, and honour, & power, & myght, be vnto oure God for euermore. Amen. ¹³ And one of the elders answered, sayinge vnto me: what are these which are arayed in longe whyte garmentes, & whence came they? 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:

¹ And I loked, and lo, a lambe stode on the mount Syon, & with hym an .C. & .xliiii. thousande hauynge his fathers name written in theyr forheddes. ² And I herde a voyce from heuen, as the sounde of many waters, and as the voyce of a gret thoundre. And I herde the voyce of harpers harpynge with theyr harpes. ³ And they songe as it were a newe songe, before the seate, & before the foure beastes, & the elders, & no man coulde learne that songe, but the hondred & .xliii.M. which were redemed from the erth. ⁴ These are they, which were not defyled wt wemen, for they are virgyns. These folowe the lambe whythersoeuer he goeth. These were redemed from men, beynge the fyrste frutes vnto God and to the lambe,

² And I sawe as it were a glassye see, myngled wt fyre, & them that had gotten victory of the beast, and of hys ymage, and of the nombre of hys name, stande on the glassye see, hauyng the harpes of God, ³ and they songe the songe of Moses the seruaunt of God, & the songe of the lambe, sayinge: Gret and maruelous are thy workes: Lorde God almyghtye, iuste & true are thy wayes, thou Kyng of Saynctes. ⁴ Who shall not feare o Lorde, & gloryfy thy name? For thou only arte holy, and all gentyls shall come and worshyppe before the, for thy iudgementes are made manyfeste.

²⁰ Reioyce ouer her thou heauen, and ye holy Apostles and Prophetes: for God hath geuen your iudgement on her.

⁴ And God shall wype awaye all teares from theyr eyes. And there shalbe nomore deeth, nether sorowe, nether cryenge, nether shall ther be eny more payne, for the olde thynges are gone.
