¹⁹ Let me not be confounded, O Lorde, for I haue called vpon the: let the vngodly be put to confusion, and be put to sylence in the graue.

¹ To the chaunter, For Ieduthun: a psalme of Dauid. My soule truly wayteth styll vpon God, for of him cometh my saluacion.

⁹ And in that daye it shalbe sayde: Lo, this is our God, we haue wayted for hym, & he shall saue vs. Thys is the Lord, in whom we haue hoped, we wylbe mery & reioyce in the saluation that commeth of hym.

¹⁸ Therfore doth the Lorde cause you to wayte, that he maye haue mercy vpon you: to thintent that he maye haue the preemynence, when he is gracyous vnto you. For the Lorde is the God of iudgement. Blessed are all they that hope in hym.

²⁵ O how good is the Lorde vnto them, that put theyr trust in hym, and to the soule that seketh after hym? ²⁶ The good man with stylnes and pacience tarieth, for the health of the Lorde.

⁷ so that ye are behynde in no gyfte, waytinge for the appearyng of oure Lord Iesus Christ,

⁹ But as it is written. The eye hath not sene, and the eare hath not heard, nether haue entred into the hert of man, the thynges which God hath prepared for them that loue hym. ¹⁰ But God hath opened them vnto vs by his sprete. For the sprete searcheth all thinges, ye the botome of Goddes secretes.

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,

¹⁷ that Christ maye dwell in youre hertes by fayth, that ye beynge roted and grounded in loue, ¹⁸ myght be able to comprehende with all saynctes, what is the bredth and length, deepth and heygth: ¹⁹ & to knowe the excellent loue of the knowledge of Christ that ye myght be fulfylled with all fulnes, which commeth of God. ²⁰ Unto hym that is able to do exceadynge aboundantly aboue all that we aske or thynke accordynge to the power that worketh in in vs, ²¹ be prayse in the congregacyon by Christ Iesus, thorowe out all ages worlde without ende. Amen.

²⁶ that mistery which hath bene hyd sence the worlde beganne, and sence the begynnynge of generacyons: but nowe is opened to his saynctes, ²⁷ to whom God wolde make knowen what the gloryous ryches of thys mystery is amonge the Gentyls, which ryches is Chryst in you, the hope of glory,

¹⁰ and for to loke for hys sonne from heauen, whom he raysed from deeth: euen Iesus, whych delyuereth vs from the wrath to come.

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

¹⁶ but now they desyre a better (that is to saye) a heauenly. Wherfore God himselfe is not ashamed to be called theyr God for he hath prepared for them a citye.

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.

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.

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

¹ And I sawe a newe heauen and a new earth. For the fyrst heauen, and the fyrst earth were vanysshed awaye, and ther was nomore See. ² And I Iohn sawe that holy cytie, newe Ierusalem come downe from God out of heauen, prepared as a bryde garnisshed for her husband. ³ And I herde a greate voyce out of heauen sayinge: beholde, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he wyll dwell wyth them. And they shall be hys people, and God hym selfe shalbe wyth them, and be theyr God. 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.

²² And I sawe no temple therin. For the Lorde God almighty and the lambe are the temple of it. ²³ And the cytie hath no nede of the sonne, nether of the mone to lighten it. For the brightnes of God dyd lyght it, and the lambe was the lyght of it. ²⁴ And the people whych are saued shall walke in the lyght of it. And the kinges of the earth shall brynge theyr glory vnto it.

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. ² In the middes of the stret of it, and of ether syde of the ryuer, was ther woode of lyfe: whych bare twelue maner of frutes: & gaue frute euery moneth: & the leues of the wood serued to heale the people with all. ³ And ther shalbe no more cursse, but the seate of God and the lambe shalbe in it: and hys seruauntes shall serue hym. ⁴ And they shall se hys face, and his name shalbe in their forheddes ⁵ And there shall be no nyght there, & they nede no candle, nether light of the sunne: for the Lorde God geueth them lyght, and they shall raygne for euermore.

²⁴ An alter of erth thou shalt make vnto me, and theron offer thy burntofferynges and thy peace offerynges, thy shepe and thyne oxen. In all places where I shall put the remembraunce of my name thyther I wyll come vnto the and blesse the.

²² And from thence I wyll testifye vnto the and wyll comon with the from vpon the mercyseate: from betwene the two Cherubins which are vpon the arke of witnesse, of all thynge which I wyll geue the in commaundement vnto the chyldren of Israel.

⁴² And let this be a continuall burntofferynge amonge youre chyldren after you, before the dore of the tabernacle of witnesse before the Lorde, where I wyll mete you, to speake there vnto the. ⁴³ There I wyll mete with the chyldren of Israel, and wyll be sanctifyed in myne honoure.

⁶ And thou shalt putt it before the vayle, that is by the arcke of witnesse, before the mercy seate that is vpon the witnes, where I wyll mete the.

¹⁰ All the pathes of the Lorde are mercye & truthe, vnto soch as kepe his couenaunt & his testimonies.

⁴ Delyte thou in the Lorde, & he shall geue the thy hertes desyre.

⁷ For we consume awaye in thy displeasure, & are afrayed at thy wrathfull indignacyon. ⁸ Thou hast set oure misdedes before the, and oure secrete synnes in the lyght of thy countenaunce. ⁹ For when thou art angrye, all oure dayes are gone: we brynge our yeares to an ende, as it were a tale that is tolde.

¹⁷ But the mercyful goodnesse of the Lorde endureth for euer & euer, vpon them that feare him, & hys ryghteousnesse vpon chylders chyldren.

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

⁸ Yee, in the waye of thy iudgmentes, O Lord, haue we put our trust in the. Thy name also: & the remembraunce of the, is the thyng that oure soule longeth for. ⁹ My soule hath longed for the all the night, and wt my sprete (which is within me) wyll I seke the earlye in the morning. For when thy iudgementes are in the erth, the inhabitatours of the worlde shall learne righteousnes.

¹ Thus sayeth the Lorde. Kepe equite, and do ryght, for my sauyng health shall come shortly, & my ryghteousnes shalbe opened. ² Blessed is the man that doth thys, and the mans chylde whych kepeth the same. He that taketh hede, that he vnhalowe not the Sabboth (that is) he that kepeth hym selfe that he do no euel. ³ Then shall not the straunger, which cleaueth to the Lorde, saye: Alas, the Lorde hath shut me cleane out from hys people. Nether shall the gelded man saye: lo, I am a drye tre. ⁴ For thus sayeth the Lorde, vnto the gelded that kepeth my Sabboth: Namely, that holdeth greatly of the thynge that pleaseth me, and kepeth my couenaunt: ⁵ Unto them wyll I geue in my housholde and wythin my walles, a better herytage & name, then yf they had bene called sonnes & daughters. I will geue them an euerlastinge name, that shall not perish. ⁶ Agayne the straungers that stycke to the Lorde, to serue hym, and to loue hys name: and to be hys seruauntes. And all they, whych kepe them selues, that they vnhalowe not the Sabboth, namely, that they fulfyll my couenaunt: ⁷ Them wyll I brynge to my holy mountayne, and make them ioyfull in my house of prayer. Theyr burnt offrynges and sacrifyces shalbe accepted vpon myne aulter. For my house shalbe called an house of prayer for all people.

¹⁰ But after they prouoked him to wrath & vexed his holy mynde he was their enemye, & fought agaynst them him selfe.

¹⁸ Moreouer, I heard Ephraim, that was led awaye captiue, complayne on this maner: O Lorde, thou hast correct me, & thy chastenynge haue I receaued, as an vntamed calfe. Conuerte thou me, and I shalbe conuerted: for thou art my Lorde God: ¹⁹ Yee, assone as thou turnest me, I shall refourme my selfe: and when I vnderstande, I shall smyte vpon my thyghe. For verely I haue commytted shamefull thinges. For I haue borne the reprofe and confusion of my youth. ²⁰ Upon this complaynte, I thought thus by my selfe: is not Ephraim my deare sonne? Is he not the childe, with whom I haue had all myrth and pastyme? For sens the time that I first commened with hym, I haue him euer in remembraunce: therfore, my very hert dryueth me vnto him, gladly and louynglye wyll I haue mercy vpon him, sayth the Lord.

³ Then shall we haue vnderstandynge, & endeuoure oure selues to knowe the Lorde. He shall go forth as the spryng of the daye, & come vnto vs as the euenynge and mornynge rayne vpon the earth.

⁸ What greate thynges haue I geuen the, O Ephraim? howe faythfully haue I defended the, O Israel? haue I dealt with the as with Adama? or haue I intreated the lyke Seboim? No, my hert is other wise mynded. Yee, my mercy is to feruent:

⁶ For I am the Lorde that chaunge not, & ye (O chyldren of Iacob) wyll not leaue of

² a deuote man, & one that feared God with all hys housholde, which gaue moch almes to the people, and prayde God all waye. ³ The same sawe by a vision euidently (about the ninth houre of the daye) an angel of God commynge into him, and sayinge vnto him: Cornelius? ⁴ When he loked on hym, he was afrayde, and sayd: what is it Lorde? He sayde vnto him: Thy prayers & thy almeses are come vp into remembraunce before God.

³⁵ but in all people, he that feareth hym, and worketh ryghtewesnes, is accepted with him.

¹³ Brethren, I counte not my selfe that I haue gotten it as yet, but this one thynge I saye: I forget those thinges which are behinde, & endeuoure my selfe vnto those thinges which are before, ¹⁴ and (accordinge to the marke apoynted) I preace to the rewarde of the hye callynge of God thorowe Chryst Iesu. ¹⁵ Let vs therfore as many as be perfect, be thus wyse mynded, and yf ye be other wyse mynded, God shall open the same also vnto you.

¹⁶ Let vs therfore go boldely vnto the seate of grace, that we maye obtayne mercy, and fynde grace to helpe in tyme of nede.

⁴ Who can make cleane, that commeth of an vncleane thynge? Nobody.

¹⁴ What is man, that he shulde be cleane? what hath he (which is borne of a woman) wherby he myght be righteous? ¹⁵ Behold, he doth not trust hys saynctes: yee, the very heauens are not cleane in hys syght. ¹⁶ Howe moch more then an abhomynable and vyle man, which drincketh wickednesse lyke water?

⁴ But how maye a man compared vnto God, be iustifyed? Or how can he be cleane, that is borne of a woman?

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

⁵ I haue geuen diligent care vnto the, and now I se the wyth myne eyes. ⁶ Wherfore, I geue myne awne selfe the blame, and take repentaunce in the dust and asshes.

⁴ As for the vngodly, is it not so wt them: but they are lyke the chafe which the wynde scatered awaye.

⁵ Beholde, I was shapen in wyckednesse, & in synne hath my mother conceaued me.

⁵ As sone as thou scatrest them, they are euen as a slepe, and fade awaye sodenly lyke the grasse, ⁶ In the mornyng it is grene and groweth vp, but in the euenynge it is cut downe and withered.

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 The same voyce spake: Nowe crye. And the prophet answered: what shall I crye? that all fleshe is grasse, & that all the godlines therof, is as the floure of the felde. 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. ⁸ Neuertheles, whether the grasse wyther, or the floure fade awaye. Yet the word of our God endureth for euer.

¹² Heare me, O ye that are of an hye stomacke, but farre from ryghteousnesse,

¹ Heare this, O thou house of Iacob: ye that are called by the name of Israel, and are come out of one stocke with Iuda: which sweare by the name of the Lorde, and beare witnes by the God of Israel (but not with trueth and ryght)

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.

¹² Yee, verely I wyl declare thy goodnes and thy workes, but they shall not profyt the: ¹³ when thou cryest, let thy chosen heape deliuer the. But the wynde shall blowe them furth, and vanite shall take them all awey. Neuertheles, they that put their trust in me, shall inheret the lande, & haue my holy hyll in possessyon.

¹¹ Then shall it be sayde to the people & Ierusalem: a stronge wynde in the hye places of the wyldernesse commeth thorow the waye of my people, but neyther to fan, nor to cleanse. ¹² After that, shall there come vnto me a stronge wynde from those places, and then wyll I also gyue sentence vpon them.

¹⁹ A wynde shall take holde of theyr fethers, and they shalbe confounded in theyr offrynges.

³ Nowe Iesua was clothed in vncleane raiment, and stode before the aungel

⁸ And he sayde: thys is vngodlynes. So he cast her into the myddest of the measure, and threwe the lompe of leade into the mouth of the measure. ⁹ Then lyfte I vp myne eyes, & loked: and behold, there came out .ii. women, and the wind was in their wynges (for they had wynges lyke the wynges of a storke) & they lyft vp the measure betwixt the earth and the heauen. ¹⁰ Then spake I to the aungel that talked wt me: whyther wyl these beare the measure? ¹¹ And he sayd vnto me: into the lande of Synear to buyld them an house, whiche when it is prepared, the measure shalbe set there in his place.

¹⁸ For I knowe, that in me (that is to saye in my flesshe) dwelleth no good thinge. For, to wyll is present with me: but I fynde no meanes to performe that whych is good.

²⁴ O wretched man that I am: who shall delyuer me from thys body subdued vnto deeth?

¹ And you hath he quickened where as ye were deed in treaspasses and synnes, ² in the which in tyme passed ye walked, accordyng to the course of this worlde, euen after the gouerner that ruleth in the ayer, the sprete that nowe worketh in the chyldren of vnbelefe

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:

³ For we oure selues also were somtyme foolyshe dysobedient, deceaued, seruynge diuerse lustes and volupteousnes, lyuynge in maliciousnes and enuye, full of hate, hatynge one another.

¹⁰ Agayne: let hym that is riche, reioyce whan he is made lowe. For euen as the flower of the grasse, shall he passe awaye. ¹¹ For as the sonne ryseth with heat, & the grasse wydereth, & hys flower falleth awaye, and the beautie of the fassyon of it perissheth: euen so shall the rich man perisshe in his wayes.

²⁴ For all flesshe is grasse, and all the glory of man is as the floure of grasse. The grasse wyddereth, and the floure falleth awaye, ²⁵ but the worde of the Lord endureth euer And thys is the worde, whych by the Gospell was preached vnto you.

¹⁷ because thou sayest: I am ryche & incresyd wyth goodes, and haue nede of nothyng, and knowest not, how thou art wretched & myserable, and poore, & blynde and nakyd. ¹⁸ I counsell the to bye of me, golde tryed in the fyre, that thou mayste be ryche: and whyte rayment, that thou mayste be clothed, that thy fylthy nakednes do not appeare, & anoynt thyne eyes wyth eye salue that thou mayste se.

¹³ And one of the elders answered, sayinge vnto me: what are these which are arayed in longe whyte garmentes, & whence came they?

¹⁷ And then my wrath wyll waxe whote agaynst them, and I wyll forsake them, and wyll hyde my face from them, & they shalbe consumed. And moch aduersyte and tribulacyons shall come vpon them, so that then they wyll saye: Are not these troubles come vpon me, because God is not wyth me? ¹⁸ And I also wyll surely hyde awaye my face in that daye, for all the euels sake whych they shall haue wrought in that they are turned vnto straunge Goddes.

¹⁹ The Lorde therfore sawe it, and was angrye, because of the prouokynge of hys sonnes and of hys daughters. ²⁰ And he sayde: I wyll hyde my face from them, & will se what their ende shall be. For they are a very fro warde generacion, chyldren in whom is no fayth. ²¹ They haue angred me wyth that whych is no God, and prouoked me wyth their vanyties. And I also wyll prouoke them with those whych are no people, I wyll anger them wyth a folyshe nacion. ²² For fyre is kyndled in my wrath, & burneth vnto the botome of hell. And hath consumed the earth with her encrease, and sett a fyre the botoms of the mountaynes. ²³ I will heape mischeues vpon them, & wyll destroye them wyth myne arowes. ²⁴ They shalbe burnt with hunger, and consumed wt heate, and with bytter destruccion: I wyll also sende the teeth of beastes vpon them, with the furiousnes of serpentes in the dust. ²⁵ Without forth, shall the swerde robbe them of their chyldren: and within in the chamber, feare: both younge men and younge wemen and the suckelynges wyth the men of gray heades.

⁴ For seyng that thy sonnes synned agaynst hym, dyd not he punysh them for theyr wyckednesse?

⁴ Haue they no knowledge, that all are soche worckers of myscheffe, eatynge vp my people, as it were bread and call not vpon the Lorde?

¹⁵ They lye vpon me as a burthen, and I am wery of beringe them. Whan ye holde out your handes, I will turne myne eyes from you. And though ye make many prayers, yet wil I heare nothynge at all, seyng your handes are ful of bloude.

⁵ Let it take holde of my strength, and it shalbe at one wt me, euen at one shall it be with me.

² For why wolde no man receaue me, when I came? and when I called, no man gaue me answere. Is my hande shortened that it might not helpe? or haue I not power to deliuer? lo, at a worde I dryncke vp the see and of water floudes I make drye lande: so that for want of water, the fyshe corrupt and dye for thurst.

⁸ When I was angry, I hydde my face from the for a lytle season, but thorow euerlastinge mercye haue I pardoned the, sayth the Lord thyne auenger.

⁴ For thus sayeth the Lorde, vnto the gelded that kepeth my Sabboth: Namely, that holdeth greatly of the thynge that pleaseth me, and kepeth my couenaunt:

¹⁷ I am wroth wyth hym for his couetousnes, I smyte him, I hyde me, and am angrye, when he turneth him selfe, & foloweth the by waye of his awne hert.

² But youre mysdedes haue separated you from youre God, & your synnes hyde his face from you, that he heareth you not.

⁴ No man regardeth ryghteousnes, and no man iudgeth truly. Euery man hopeth in vayne thynges, and ymagineth disceate conceaueth weerynesse, and bryngeth forth euell.

¹⁶ He sawe also, that there was no man, ryghtwise, & he wondered that ther was no man to helpe hym. Wherfore he helde hym by his awne power, and he sustayned him by his awne righteousnes.

⁷ Therfore, thus sayeth the Lorde of Hostes: beholde, I wyll melte them, and trye them, for what shuld I els do to my people.

¹⁸ Thou sonne of man, the house of Israel is turned to drosse. All they that shulde be brasse, tynne, yron, & leade, are in the fyre become drosse. ¹⁹ Therfore, thus sayeth the Lord God. For so moche as ye all are turned in to drosse, beholde: I wyll brynge you together vnto Ierusalem, ²⁰ lyke as syluer, brasse, yron, tynne and leade are put together in the fornace, and the fyre blowen there vnder to melt them. Euen so will I gather you, put you in together, and melt you in my wrath & indignacyon. ²¹ I wyll brynge you together, and kyndle the fyre of my cruell displeasure vnder you, that ye maye be melted therin. ²² Lyke as the syluer is melted in the fyre, so shall ye also be melted therin: that ye maye knowe, howe that I the Lorde haue powred my wrath vpon you.

³⁰ And I sought in the lande for a man, that wolde make vp the hedge, and sett him selfe in the gappe before me in the landes behalfe, that yt shulde not be corrupted: but I could fynde none.

¹¹ Moreouer I will sett the pott empty vpon the coles, so that his metall shall be brent & molten also for heate, & the fylthynes of yt shall be molten in yt, & the drosse of yt shal be consumed.

¹⁵ I will go, and returne to my place, tyll they knowledge that they haue synned and seke me.

⁷ they are all together as hote as an ouen. They haue deuoured their awne iudges, all theyr kynges are fallen: yet is there none of them that calleth vpon me.

¹⁴ They call not vpon me with theyr hertes, but lye houlynge vpon theyr beddes. Where as they come together, it is but for meate & dryncke, and me will they not obeye.

²² And thou shalt saye vnto Pharao, thus sayeth the Lorde: Israel is myne eldest sonne,

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?

⁸ Thy handes haue made me, and fasshioned me all together rounde aboute, wilt thou then destroye me sodenly? ⁹ O remembre (I beseke the) how that thou madest me of the moulde of the erth, & shalt bringe me into dust agayne.

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

⁷³ Thy handes haue made me and fashioned me, O geue me vnderstandynge, that I maye learne thy commaundementes.

⁸ The Lord shall make good his louyng kyndnesse towarde me: yee, thy mercy, O Lorde, endureth for euer, despyse not then the worckes of thyne awne handes.

¹⁶ Doutles, your destruccion is (in my handes) in reputacyon as the potters claye. And doth the worcke saye of hym that made it, he made not me? And doth an earthen vessell saye of him that fasshyoned it, he had no vnderstandinge?

⁷ Namely, all those that be called after my name. For them haue I created, fashyoned, & made for myne honour.

²¹ Consydre thys (O Iacob and Israel) for thou art my seruaunt. I haue made the, that thou myghtest serue me. O Israel, forget me not.

²⁴ Thus sayth the Lord thy redemer, euen he that fashyoned the from thy mothers wombe. I the Lorde, do all thynges my selfe alone. I only sprede out the heauens and I only haue layde the foundacyon of the earth by myn awne selfe.

⁹ Wo be vnto him that stryueth wt his maker, the potsherde with the potter. Sayeth the claye to the potter. What makest thou? or thy worke serueth for nothing?

¹⁶ Yet art thou our father. For Abraham knoweth vs not, nether is Israel acquaynted wt vs. But thou Lorde art our father & redemer, & thy name is euerlastynge.

² Aryse, and goo downe into the Potters house, and there shall I tell the more of my mynde. ³ Now when I cam to the Potters house, I founde hym makynge his worcke vpon a whele. ⁴ The vessell that the Potter made of claye, brake amonge his handes: So be beganne a new, and made another vessel accordynge to his mynde. ⁵ Then sayde the Lorde thus vnto me. ⁶ Maye not I do with you, as this Potter doth, O ye house of Israel, sayeth the Lorde? Beholde, ye house of Israel: ye are in my hande, euen as the claye in the Potters hande.

²⁰ But O man, what art thou, which disputest with God? Shall the worcke saye to the worke man: why hast thou made me on this fassyon? ²¹ Hath not the potter power ouer the claye, euen of the same lompe to make one vessel vnto honoure, and another vnto dishonoure? ²² Euen so, God willyng to shewe hys wrath, and to make his power knowen suffered wyth longe pacyence the vessels of wrath, ordeyned to damnacyon, ²³ and to declare the ryches of hys glory on the vessels of mercye, which he had prepared vnto glorye: ²⁴ whom also he called, not of the Iewes onely, but also of the gentyls.

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

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

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

¹ To hym that excelleth in musick, vpon the instrument of eyght strynges. A psalme of Dauid. O Lorde, rebuke me not in thyne indignacion: nether chasten me in thy displeasure.

¹ A Psalme of Dauid for remembraunce. Put me not to rebuke (O Lord) in thine anger: nether chasten me in thy heuy displeasure.

¹ An instruccyon of Asaph. O God, werfore art thou absent from vs so long? why is thy wrath so hote agaynst the shepe of thy pasture? ² O thynke vpon thy congregacyon, whom thou hast purchased and redemed of olde:

⁵ Lorde, how longe wylt thou be angrye? shall thy gelousy burne lyke fyre for euer? ⁶ Poure out thyne indignacion vpon the Heathen that haue not knowne the, and vpon the kyngdome that haue not called vpon thy name. ⁷ For they haue deuoured Iacob, and layed waste his dwellinge place. ⁸ O remembre not oure olde synnes, but haue mercy vpon vs, and that soone, for we are come to greate misery. ⁹ Helpe vs, O God of oure saluacion, for the glory of thy name: O delyuer vs, and be mercyfull vnto oure synnes for thy names sake.

¹³ And for the blasphemy (wherwith oure neyghbours haue blasphemed the) rewarde thou them, O Lorde, seuen folde into their bosome. So we, that be thy people and shepe of thy pasture, shall geue the thanckes for euer, and wyl alwaye be shewynge forth thy prayse from generacion to generacion.

⁹⁴ I am thyne, Oh saue me, for I haue sought thy commaundementes.

²⁵ Where as I yet, euen I am he onely, that for myne awne selfes sake do awaye thyne offences, and forget thy synnes: so that I will neuer thincke vpon them.

¹⁰ Straungers shall buylde vp thy walles, & theyr kynges shall do the seruyce. For when I was angrie, I smote the: and of my mercye, I pardoned the:

¹⁹ And we were thyne from the begynnynge: when thou wast not their Lorde, for they haue not called vpon thy name.

¹² & therfore go preache these wordes towarde the north, and saye: Thou disobedient Israell, turne agayne (sayeth the Lorde) & I wyll not let my wrathe fall vpon you, for I am mercyfull (sayeth the Lorde) & I wyll not alwaye beare displeasure agaynst the:

²⁴ Therfore, chasten thou vs, o Lord, but with fauoure & not in thy wrath, bryng vs not vtterly to naught.

²⁰ wherfore wylt thou styll forget vs, and forsake vs so longe?

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.

² O Lorde, when I herde speake of the, I was afrayed. The worcke that thou hast taken in hande, shalt thou perfourme in his tyme, O Lord & when thy tyme commeth, thou shalt declare it. In thy very wrath thou thinckest vpon mercy.

⁴ And though Edom sayde: well, we are destroyed, we wyll go buylde vp agayne the places that he wasted, yet (sayeth the Lorde of hostes) what they buylded, that brake I downe: so that it was called a cursed lande, and a people, whome the Lorde hath euer bene angrye withall.

¹⁷ These are welles without water: cloudes that are, caried with a tempest, to whom the myst of darcknes is reserued for euer.

¹⁰ and the deuyll that deceaued them, was cast into a lake of fyre and brymstone, where the beast and the false prophetes shalbe tormented daye and nyght for euermore.

⁹ & burnt the house of the Lorde, and the kynges house, and all the houses of Ierusalem, & all great houses burnt he wt fyre.

¹⁹ And they burnt the house of God and brake downe the wall of Ierusalem and burnt all the places therof with fyre, and destroyed all the goodly Iewles therof. ²⁰ And the rest that had escaped the sweard, caryed he to Babylon, where they were bound to him and his chyldren, vntyll the tyme that Persia had the empire. ²¹ To fulfyll the word of the Lord by the mouth of Ieremia, vntyll the lande had her pleasure of her Sabbothes: for as longe as she laye desolate, she kept Saboth, vntyll seuenty yeares were fulfylled.

¹ A Psalme of Asaph. O God the Heathen are come into thy inheritaunce: thy holy temple haue they defyled, and made Ierusalem an heape of stones. ² The deed bodyes of thy seruauntes haue they geuen to be meate, vnto the foules of the ayre, and the flesh of thy saynctes vnto the beastes of the lande. ³ Their bloud haue they shed lyke water on euery syde of Ierusalem, and there was no man to burye them. ⁴ We are become an open shame vnto oure enemies, a very scorne and derysyon vnto them that are rounde aboute us. ⁵ Lorde, how longe wylt thou be angrye? shall thy gelousy burne lyke fyre for euer? ⁶ Poure out thyne indignacion vpon the Heathen that haue not knowne the, and vpon the kyngdome that haue not called vpon thy name. ⁷ For they haue deuoured Iacob, and layed waste his dwellinge place.

⁷ Your land lyeth waste, your cyties are brent vp, your enemyes deuoure youre lande, & ye must be fayne to stande, & loke vpon it: & it is desolate, as they were subuerted that were alienate from the Lorde.

¹ Alas, howe sytteth the cytie so desolate, that somtyme was full of people? Howe is she become lyke a wedowe, which was the lady of all nacyons? Howe is she brought vnder trybute, that ruled all landes. ² She wepeth sore in the nyght so that the teares runne downe her chekes: for amonge all her louers, there is none that geueth her eny comforte: ye her nexte frendes transgresse agenst her, and are become her enemyes. ³ Iuda is taken presoner, because she was defyled: and for seruynge so many straunge goddes, she dwelleth nowe amonge the Heythen. She fyndeth no rest, all they that persecuted her, toke her, in strayte places wher she coulde not escape. ⁴ The streates of Sion mourne, because no man commeth nomore to the solempne feastes. All her gates are desolat, her prestes make lamentacion, her maydens are carefull: & she her selfe is in great heuynesse.

⁴ He hath bent his bowe lyke an enemye, he hath fastened hys right hand as an aduersary: and euerythynge that was pleasaunt to se, he hath smytten it downe. He hath poured out his wrath lyke a fyre, into the tabernacle of the daughter of Syon. ⁵ The Lorde is become lyke as it were an enemie, he hath deuoured Israel and all hys palaces: yee, all his strong holdes hath he destroyed, and fylled the daughter of Iuda with moche sorowe and heuynesse. ⁶ Her tabernacle (which was lyke a garden of pleasure) hath he destroyed: her hye solempne feastes hath he put downe. The Lorde hath brought it so to passe, that the hie solempne feastes and Sabbathes in Sion, are cleane forgotten. In his heuy displeasure hath he made the kynge and prestes to be despised. ⁷ The Lorde hath forsaken hys awne aulter, and hath abhorred his awne Sanctuarye, and hath geuen the walles of theyr towres into the handes of the enemye. Theyr enemies made a noise in the house of the Lord, as it had bene in a solempne feaste daye. ⁸ The Lorde thought to breake downe the walles of the daughter of Sion, he spred out his lyne, and drewe not in hys hande, tyll he had destroyed them: Therfore mourne the turrettes and the broken walles together.

¹⁸ because of the hyll of Sion, that is destroyed. In so moch, that the foxes runne vpon it.

²⁶ After these .lxij. wekes, shall Christ be slayne, and they shall haue no pleasure in hym. Then shall there come a people with the Prince, and destroye the cyte & the Sanctuary: and hys ende shall come as the water floude. But the desolacyon shall contynue tyll the ende of the battell. ²⁷ He shall make a stronge bonde with many, for the space of a weke: & when the weke is halfe gone, he shall put downe the slayne and meatoffringe. And in the temple there shalbe an abhominable desolacyon, tyll it haue destroyed all. And it is concluded, that this wastynge shall contynue vnto the ende.

⁷ Then herde I the man wyth the lynen clothes, which stode aboue vpon the waters of the floude: when he helde vp hys ryght and left hande vnto heauen, and sware by hym whych lyueth for euer that it shall tary for a tyme, two tymes and halfe a tyme: & when the power of the holy people is clene scatred abrode, then shall all these thynges be fulfylled.

¹² Therfore shall Sion (for youre sakes) be plowed lyke a felde Ierusalem shall become an heape of stones, and the hyll of the temple shall be turned to an hye wodde.

²¹ Then let them which are in Iewrye, flye to the mountaynes. And let them whych are in the myddes of it, departe out. And let not them that are in other countreyes, enter therin.

²⁴ And they shall fall thorow the edge of the swearde, and shalbe ledd awaye captyue into all nacions. And Ierusalem shalbe troden downe of the gentyls, vntyll the tyme of the gentyls be fulfylled.

¹ And then was geuen me a rede, lyke vnto a rodd, & it was sayde vnto me. Ryse & meate the temple of God, & the aulter, & them that worshippe therin, ² & the queer which is wt in the temple, cast out & meate it not for it is geuen vnto the Gentyles, & the holy cytye shall they treade vnder fote .xlii. monethes.

¹⁴ And the kyng turned his face, and blessed all the congregacyon of Israel: and all the congregacion of Israel stode styll.

⁵⁶ Blessed be the Lorde, that hath geuen reste vnto hys people Israel, accordyng to all that he promised, there hath not fayled one word of all the good promyse, whych he promysed by the hande of Moses hys seruaunt.

⁴ And he sayde: blessed be the Lorde God of Israel which hath with his handes, fulfylled it, that he spake with his mouth to my father Dauid, sayinge:

³ And whan all the chyldren of Israel sawe howe the fyre, and the glorye of the Lorde came downe vpon the house, they fell downe flat vpon their faces to the erth vpon the pauement, and worshypped and confessed vnto the Lord, that he is gracious, and that his mercye lasteth euer.

⁶ And the preastes wayted on their offyces, and the Leuites had the instrumentes of musycke of the Lorde, which kynge Dauid had made to confesse vnto the Lorde, that his mercye lasteth euer, playenge a psalme of Dauid with their hande. And the preastes blewe with trompettes before them: and all they of Israel stode.

²⁵ And set the Leuites in the house of the Lorde with symbales, psalteries and harpes accordynge to the commaundement of Dauid and of Gad the kynges sear, and Nathan the prophete. For so was the commaundment of the Lorde thorowe the hande of his prophetes. ²⁶ And the Leuites stode, hauynge the instrumentes of Dauid, and the preastes helde the trompettes. ²⁷ And Hezekia commaunded to offer the burntofferynge vpon the aulter. And when the burntoffering beganne, the songe of the Lorde beganne also, & the trompettes wt the instrumentes that were ordeyned by the hande of Dauid kynge of Israel. ²⁸ And all the congregacion worshypped, synginge a song, and blowinge with the trompets, & all thys continued, vntyll the burnt offerynge was fynysshed. ²⁹ And when they had made an ende of offerynge, the kynge and all that were present wt hym. bowed them selues, & worshypped. ³⁰ And Hezekia the kynge & the Lordes spake to the Leuites to prayse the Lorde with the wordes of Dauid, & of Asaph the sear. And the Leuites sange prayses with gladnesse, and the other bowed them selues, and worshypped.

¹⁹ And they burnt the house of God and brake downe the wall of Ierusalem and burnt all the places therof with fyre, and destroyed all the goodly Iewles therof.

⁵ Thyne aduersaryes roare in the myddes of thy congregacions, and set vp their banners for tokens. ⁶ He that hewed tymbre afore out of the thick trees, was knowne to brynge it to an excellent worke. ⁷ But now they breake downe all the earned worcke therof wt axes & hammers.

¹³ and brent vp the house of the Lorde. He brent vp also the kynges palace, all the houses and all the gorgeous buyldynges in Ierusalem.

⁷ Nowe doth Ierusalem remembre the tyme of her misery and disobedience, yee, the ioye and pleasure that she hath had in tymes past seynge her people is brought downe thorow the power of theyr enemye, and there is no man for to helpe her: her enemyes stande lokynge at her, and laugh her Sabbath dayes to scorne.

¹⁰ The enemye hath put hys hande to all the precious thynges that she had, yee, euen before her eyes came the Heathen in and out of the Sanctuary: whom thou (neuertheles) hast forbydden to come within thy congregacyon. ¹¹ All her people seke theyr breade with heuynes, and loke what precyous thing euery man hath, that geueth he for meate, to saue hys lyfe. Consydre, O Lorde, and se, how vyle I am become.

⁷ The Lorde hath forsaken hys awne aulter, and hath abhorred his awne Sanctuarye, and hath geuen the walles of theyr towres into the handes of the enemye. Theyr enemies made a noise in the house of the Lord, as it had bene in a solempne feaste daye.

²⁰ And ther bewtyfull costlye ornamente that God had ordeyned to be their great glorye, in it they haue sett vp abhominacyons vnto ther Idols. For this cause wyll I make them and it to be abhorred. ²¹ Moreouer, I wyll geue it into the handes of the straungers to be spoyled: and to the wycked, for to be robbed, and they shall destroye it.

²¹ Tell the house of Israell, thus sayeth the Lorde God: beholde, I will suspende my sanctuary: euen the glory of your power, the pleasure of your eyes, and the thing that ye loue: your sonnes and daughters whom ye haue left, shal fall thorow the swearde.

²⁵ But beholde, O thou sonne of man: In the daye when I take from them theyr power, theyr ioye & honour, the lust of theyr eyes, the burthen of theyr lyfes: namely, theyr sonnes and daughters, shall not this be knowen?

² Iesus sayde vnto them: Se ye not all these thinges? Uerely I saye vnto you ther shall not be here lefte one stone vpon another, that shall not be destroyed.

¹ Why stondest thou so farre of (O Lord) & hydest thy face in that neadefull tyme of trouble?

¹⁰ We se not oure tokens, ther is not one Prophet more, no not one is ther among vs that vnderstandeth eny more. ¹¹ O God, how long shall the aduersary do this dishonoure? how longe shal the enemy blaspheme thy name? For euer?

¹⁸ Thou hast sett all the borders of the earth, thou hast made sommer and wynter. ¹⁹ Remembre this, O Lord, how the enemie hath rebuked, and how the folysh people hath blasphemed thy name.

⁵ Lorde, how longe wylt thou be angrye? shall thy gelousy burne lyke fyre for euer?

³ Turne vs agayne, O God, shewe the lyght of thy countenaunce, and we shalbe whole. ⁴ O Lorde God of Hostes, how longe wilt thou be angry wyth thy people that prayeth?

¹ A songe and Psalme of Asaph. Holde not thy tonge, O God, kepe not styll sylence, refrayne not thy self O God.

⁴⁶ The dayes of his youth hast thou shortened: and couered him wt dishonoure. Selah. ⁴⁷ Lorde, howe longe wilt thou hid thy selfe? for euer? and shall thy wrath burne lyke fyre? ⁴⁸ O remembre, how shorte my tyme is, wherfore hast thou made all men for naught? ⁴⁹ What man is he that lyueth, and shall not se death? and shall he deliuer his awne soule from the hande of hell? Selah. ⁵⁰ Lorde, where are thy olde louyng kyndnesses, which thou sworest vnto Dauid in thy treuth? ⁵¹ Remember (Lorde) the rebuke that thy seruauntes haue & how I do beare in my bosome thy rebukes of many people.

¹⁴ I haue longe holden my peace (sayeth the Lorde) I haue bene styll and refrayned my selfe, but nowe I wyll crye lyke a trauelynge woman, & at once wyll I destroye, and deuoure.

¹² Then the Lordes aungel gaue answer and sayde: O Lorde of hoostes, howe longe wylt thou be vnmercyful to Ierusalem and to the cyties of Iuda? With whom thou hast bene dyspleased nowe these thre score & ten yeares.

¹⁰ & they cryed with a lowde voyce, sayinge: How longe taryest thou Lord, holy & true, to iudge & to auenge oure bloud on them that dwel on the erth?
