Isaiah 66 Cross References - Great

¹ Thus sayeth the Lorde: Heauen is my seate, & the earth is my fote stole. Where shall nowe the house stande, that ye wyll buylde vnto me? And where shall be the place, that I wyll dwell in? ² As for these thynges, my hande hath made them all, & they are all created, sayeth the Lorde. Whych of them shall I then regarde? Euen him that is pore and of a lowly troubled sprete, & standeth in awe of my wordes. ³ For who so slayeth an oxe for me, doth me so greate dishonoure, as he that kylleth a man. He that kylleth a shepe for me, knetcheth a dogge. He that bryngeth me meatoffrynges, offreth swynes bloude: Who so maketh me a memoryall of incense, prayseth the thynge that is vnryght. Yet take they soch wayes in hande, and their soule delyteth in these abhominacyons. ⁴ Therfore wyll I also haue pleasure in laughynge them to scorne, and the thynge that they feare, wyll I brynge vpon them. For when I called, no man gaue answere: when I spake, they wolde not heare: But did wickednesse before myne eyes, and chose the thynges that displease me. ⁵ Heare the worde of God all ye that feare the thynge which he speaketh. Youre brethren that hate you, and cast you out for my names sake, saye: The Lorde is haynouse against vs, but you shall se him in ioye when they shalbe confounded. ⁶ Then shall be heard agret noyse from the cytie and the temple, the voyce of the Lorde, that wyll rewarde, & recompence his enemyes: ⁷ lyke as when a wyfe bringeth forth a man chylde, or euer she suffre the payne of the byrth & anguyshe of the trauayle. ⁸ Who euer hearde or sawe soche thynges? doth the grounde beare in one daye? or are the people borne all at once, as Syon traueyled in childe byrth and bare her sonnes? ⁹ For thus sayeth the Lorde. Am I he that maketh other to beare, and beare not my selfe? Am not I he that beareth and maketh baren? sayeth thy God. ¹⁰ Reioyse with Ierusalem, and be glad with her, all ye that loue her. Be ioyfull with her, all ye that mourned for her. ¹¹ For ye shall sucke comforte out of her brestes, and be satisfyed. Ye shall taste, and haue delyte in the plenteousnesse of her power. ¹² For thus sayeth the Lord: beholde, I wyll lett peace into her, lyke a water floude, and the myght of the Heythen lyke a flowynge streame. Then shall ye sucke, ye shall be borne vpon her sydes, and be ioyfull vpon her knees. ¹³ For lyke as a chylde is comforted of his mother, so shall I comforte you, and ye shalbe comforted in Ierusalem. ¹⁴ And when ye se thys, youre herte shall reioyse and youre bones shall floryshe lyke an herbe. Thus shall the hande of the Lorde be knowne amonge hys seruauntes, and hys indignacyon amonge hys enemyes. ¹⁵ For beholde, the Lorde shall come with fyre, & hys charet shall be lyke a whorle wynde, that he maye recompence his vengeaunce in his wrath and hys indignacyon with the flame of fyre. ¹⁶ For the Lorde shall iudge all flesh wyth the fyre and with his swerde, and there shalbe a greate nombre slayne of the Lorde. ¹⁷ Soch as haue made them selues holy and cleane in the gardens, & those that haue eaten swynes flesh, myce, and other abhominacyons, shalbe taken awaye together, sayeth the Lorde. ¹⁸ For I wyll come to gather all people & tonges with their workes and ymaginacyons: these shall come, and se my glory. ¹⁹ Unto them shall I geue a token, and sende certayne of them (that be delyuered) amonge the Gentiles: into Cilycia, Affryca, and Lydia (where men can handle bowes) into Italye and also Greke lande. The Iles farre of, that haue not herde speake of me, and haue not sene my glory, shall preache my prayse amonge the Gentiles, ²⁰ and shall brynge all youre brethren for an offrynge vnto the Lorde, out of all the people, vpon horses, charrettes and horse lytters, vpon Mules and cartes to Ierusalem my holy hyll (sayeth the Lorde) lyke as the chyldre of Israel brynge the offrynge in cleane vessels, to the house of the Lorde. ²¹ And I shall take out certayne of them for to be prestes and leuites, sayeth the Lorde. ²² For lyke as the newe heauen and the newe earth which I wyll make, shalbe fast stablisshed by me: (sayeth the Lorde) So shall youre sede and youre name contynue, ²³ and there shalbe a newe Moone for the other, and a newe Sabbath for the other, and all fleshe shall come to worshippe before me (sayeth the Lorde) ²⁴ And they shall go forth and loke vpon the caryons of them that haue transgressed agaynst me. For their wormes shall not dye, nether shall their fyre be quenched, & all flesh shall abhorre them.

⁵ go and tell my seruaunt Dauid, thus sayth the Lorde: shalt thou bylde me an house to dwelle in? ⁶ For I haue not dwelt in any house, sence the tyme that I brought the children of Israel out of Egipt, vnto this daye: ⁷ but haue walked, in a tent and tabernacle. In all the places where in I haue walked with al the children of Israel, spake I one word wt any of the tribes of Israel (sens I commaunded the iudges to fede my people Israel) sayeng: why bylde ye not me an house of Cedar trees?

⁴ Trust not in false lyenge wordes, sayeng: here is the temple of the Lord, here is the temple of the Lord, here is the temple of the Lorde. ⁵ But rather in deade amende your wayes and councels, and iudge ryght betwixte a man and his neyghbour: ⁶ oppresse not the straunger, the fatherles, & the wyddowe: shede not innocent bloud in thys place: cleue not to straunge goddes to your awne destruccion: ⁷ then wyll I let you dwell in this place, yee, in the land that I gaue afore tyme vnto youre fathers for euer. ⁸ But take hede: ye trust in lyinge tales, that begyle you & do you no good. ⁹ For when ye haue stollen, murthured, commytted aduoutry, & periury. When ye haue offred vnto Baal, folowyng straunge & vnknowne goddes shall ye be vnpunyshed? ¹⁰ Yet then come ye, & stande before me in this house, (which hath my name geuen vnto it) & saye. Tush, we are absolued quite, thoughe we haue done all these abhominacyons. ¹¹ What? thyncke you this house that beareth my name, is a denne of theues? And yea I se what you thynke, sayeth the Lorde.

¹¹ For from the risyng vp of the sonne vnto the going downe of the same, my name is greate amonge the Gentiles: yee, in euery place shal there sacrifice be done, and clene meatoffring offred vp vnto my name: for my name is great amonge the Heathen, sayeth the Lorde of hostes.

³⁴ But I say vnto you: sweare not at all: nether by heauen, for it is Goddes seate, ³⁵ nor by the earth, for it is his fote stole: nether by Ierusalem, for it is the cytie of the great king:

²¹ And whoso sweareth by the temple, sweareth by it, & by hym that dwelleth therin. ²² And he that sweareth by heauen, sweareth by the seate of God, and by hym that sytteth theron.

⁴⁸ Howbeit he that is hyest of al, dwelleth not in temples made with handes, as sayth the prophete: ⁴⁹ heauen is my seate, and earth is my fote stole. What house wyll ye bylde for me, sayth the Lorde? or which is the place of my rest: ⁵⁰ hath not my hand made al these thinges?

²⁴ God that made the worlde and all that are in it (seing that he is Lorde of heauen and earth) dwelleth not in tempels made with handes,

¹ In the begynnynge God created heauen and earthe. ² The earth was voyde and emptye: and darcknes was vpon the face of the depe: and the sprete of God moued vpon the face of the waters. ³ And God sayde: let there be made lyght, and there was light made. ⁴ And God sawe the light that it was good. And God made a diuision betwene the light and darknesse. ⁵ And God called the light, daye: and the darknesse called he, nyght. And the euenyng and the morning was made one daye. ⁶ And God sayde: let there be a firmament betwene the waters: and let it make a diuision betwene waters and waters. ⁷ And God made the firmament, and set a diuision betwene the waters which were vnder the firmament and the waters that were aboue the firmament. And it was so. ⁸ And God called the firmament, Heauen. The euenynge also and the mornyng was made the second daye. ⁹ And God sayde: let the waters vnder heauen be gathered together into one place, that the drye lande maye be sene. And so it came to passe. ¹⁰ And God called the drye lande Earth: and the gatheryng together of waters called he the sees. And God sawe that it was good. ¹¹ And God sayde: let the earth bring forth grene herbe, which maye engendre seed: and frutefull tre, yeldyng frute after hys kynde, whose seed maye be in it self vpon the earth. And it came to passe. ¹² And the earth brought forth grene herbe, makynge seede after hys kynde: and tree yeldynge frute, whose seed was in it selfe after hys kynde. And God sawe that it was good. ¹³ The euenynge also and the mornynge was made the thyrde daye. ¹⁴ And God sayde: let there be made lyghtes in the firmament of heauen: and let them make a difference betwene the daye and the nyght, and let them be vnto signes, and vnto appoynted seasons, and vnto dayes, and vnto yeares. ¹⁵ And let them be vnto lyghtes in the firmament of heauen, that they maye geue lyght vpon the earthe. And so it came to passe. ¹⁶ And God made two greate lyghtes: a greater lyght to rule the daye, & a lesse lyght to rule the night (And he made) sterres also. ¹⁷ And God set them in the firmament of heauen, that they myght geue lyght vpon the earth, ¹⁸ and that they might rule the daye and the night: and to make a difference betwene the lyght and the darknes. And God sawe that it was good. ¹⁹ The euenyng also and the mornyng was made the fourth daye. ²⁰ And God sayde: let the waters bryng forth mouynge creature that hath lyfe, and foule that maye flye vpon the earth in the face of the firmament of heauen. ²¹ And God created great whalles and euery lyuing and mouyng creature, which the waters brought forth after their kynde: and euery fethered foule after their kynde. And God sawe that it was good. ²² And God blessed them, sayinge: Growe & increace and fyll the waters of the see: and let fethred foules be multiplyed in the earth. ²³ The euenynge also and the mornyng was made the fyfth daye. ²⁴ And God sayde: let the earth bring forth lyuing creature after his kynde: catell, worme and beast of the erth after his kynde: and so it came to passe. ²⁵ And God made the beast of the earth after his kynde, and catell after their kynde: and euery thynge that crepeth vpon the earth after his kynde. And God sawe that it was good. ²⁶ And God sayde: let vs make man in oure ymage after oure lycknes, and let them haue rule of the fysh of the see: and foule of the ayre and catell, and all the earth, and of euery crepyng thyng that crepeth vpon the erth. ²⁷ And so God created man in his awne ymage: in the ymage of God created he hym, male and female created he them. ²⁸ And God blessed them, and God sayd vnto them: Growe and increace and replenyshe the erth, and subdue it: and haue dominion of the fish of the see, and foule of the aire: and of euery lyuing thyng that moueth vpon the earth. ²⁹ And God sayde: Beholde, I haue geuen you euery herbe sowynge seed, which is in the vpper face of all the earth: and euery tre in the which is the frute of tree, and that soweth seed, that they maye be meate vnto you. ³⁰ To euery beast of the earth also, and to euery byrde of the ayre, and to euery suche thinge as crepeth vpon the earth (wherin is a lyuing soule) I haue geuen all grenenes of herbe to be meat. And it came so to passe. ³¹ And God sawe euery thyng that he had made, and beholde, it was exceading good. The euenyng also and the mornynge was made the syxth daye.

¹⁹ Because thyne herte dyd melt, and because thou hast humbled thy selfe before me the Lorde, when thou heardest what I spake agaynst thys place, and agaynst the enhabiters of the same (howe that they shulde be destroyed and acursed:) and hast rent thy clothes and wepte before me: of that also haue I hearde, sayth the Lorde. ²⁰ Beholde therfore, I wyll receaue the vnto thy fathers, and thou shalt be put into thy graue in peace, and thyne eyes shall not se all the euell, which I wyll bringe vpon this place. And they brought the kyng worde agayne.

²⁷ Because thyne hert dyd melt, & thou dydest meke thy self before God, when thou heardest his wordes agaynst this place & agaynst the enhabiters therof: & humbledest thy selfe before me, and tarest thy clothes, and weptest before me, that haue I hearde also sayth the Lord. ²⁸ Behold, I wyll take the to thy fathers, and thou shalt be put in thy graue in peace, and thyne eyes shall not se all the myschefe that I wyll bryng vpon thys place, & vpon the enhabyters of the same. And they brought the kynge worde agayne.

⁴ And there resorted vnto me all soch as feared the wordes of the Lorde God of Israel, because of the transgression of the people of the captiuite. And I sate mournynge vntyll the euenynge sacryfice.

³ For now we wyll make a couenaunt with oure God, and put awaye all the wyues (and soch as are borne of them) accordinge to the councell of the Lord, and we wylbe in the feare of the commaundementes of oure God, that we maye do accordyng to the lawe.

¹⁸ The Lorde is nye vnto them that are of a contryte hert, & wyll saue soche as be of an humble sprete.

¹⁷ The sacrifyce of God is a troubled sprete, a broken and a contrite hert (O God) shalt thou not despyse.

¹²⁰ My fleshe trembleth for feare of the, and I am afrayed of thy iudgementes.

¹⁶¹ Prynces haue persecuted me wythout cause, but my herte standeth in awe of thy wordes.

⁶ For though the Lorde be hye, yet hath he respecte vnto the lowly: as for the proude, he beholdeth him a farre of.

¹⁴ Well is him that standeth alwaye in awe: as for him that hardeneth his herte, he shall fall in to myschefe.

²⁶ Lyft vp your eyes on hye, & consydre. who hath made those thinges, which come out by so great heapes? & he can call them all by their names. For there is nothing hid vnto the greatnesse of hys power, strength, & myght.

¹⁵ For thus sayeth the hye & excellent, euen he that dwelleth in euerlastyngnesse, whose name is the holy one: I dwell hye aboue and in the sanctuary, and wyth hym also, that is of a contrite and humble sprete do I dwell: that I maye heale a troubled mynde, and a contrite herte.

¹ The sprete of the Lorde God is vpon me, for the Lorde hath anoynted me, and sent me, to preach good tydynges vnto the poore, that I myght bynde vp the wounded hertes, that I myght preach delyueraunce to the captyue, and open the preson to them that are bounde:

⁵ Heare the worde of God all ye that feare the thynge which he speaketh. Youre brethren that hate you, and cast you out for my names sake, saye: The Lorde is haynouse against vs, but you shall se him in ioye when they shalbe confounded.

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.

⁴ and the Lorde sayde vnto hym: Go thy waye thorowe the cyte of Ierusalem, and set a marcke vpon the foreheades of them, that mourne and are sory for all the abhominacions, that be done therin. ⁵ And to the other, he sayde that I myght heare: Go ye after hym thorowe the cytie, slaye, ouerse none, spare none: ⁶ kyll and destroye both olde men and yonge, maydens, chyldren, and wyues. But as for those, that haue the marcke vpon them: se that ye touch them not, and begynne at my Sanctuary. Then they beganne at the elders, whych were in the temple,

¹⁶ When I heare this, my body is vexed, my lyppes tremble at the voyce therof, my bones corrupte, I am afraied where I stande. O that I myght rest in the daye of trouble, that I myght go vp vnto our people, which are alredy prepared.

³ Blessed are the poore in sprete, for theyrs is the kyngdome of heauen. ⁴ Blessed are they that mourne, for they shall receaue comfort.

¹³ And the publican stondyng a farre of, wolde not lyfte vp his eyes to heauen, but smote vpon hys brest, saying: God be mercyfull to me a synner: ¹⁴ I tell you: thys man departed home to hys house iustyfyed, more then the other. For euery one that exalteth him self, shalbe brought lowe: And he that humbleth him selfe, shalbe exalted.

⁶ And he both tremblynge, & astonyed sayde: Lorde, what wylt thou haue me to do? And the Lord sayd vnto hym: aryse, and go into the cytie, and it shalbe told the, what thou must do.

²⁹ Then he called for a lyght and sprange in and ran tremblynge vnto Paul, and fell downe at the fete of Paul & Sylas, ³⁰ and brought them out, & sayde: Syrs what must I do to be saued?

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.

¹⁷ & he is before all thynges, and by him all thynges haue theyr beynge.

² but in these last dayes he hath spoken vnto vs by his awne sonne, whom he hath made heyre of all thynges by whom also he made the worlde. ³ Which (sonne) beinge the bryghtnes of his glory, and that very ymage of his substance rulynge all thynges with the worde of hys power, hath by hys awne person pourged oure synnes, and sytteth on the ryght hande of the maiestye on hye:

² and shall brynge it vnto Aarons sonnes the preastes. And he shall take therout his handfull of the floure, and of the oyle wyth all the franckencens, and the preaste shall burne it for a memoriall of hym vpon the alter: to be an offerynge for a swete sauoure vnto the Lorde.

⁸ and also the swine, though he deuide the hoffe, yet he cheweth not cud, therfore is he vncleane vnto you: ye shall not eate of the flesh of soche, nor touche the dead carkesse of them.

¹⁸ Thou shalt nether brynge the hyer of an whore nor the pryce of a dogge into the house of the Lorde thy God, in any maner of vowe, for euen both of them are abhominacyon vnto the Lorde thy God.

⁸ They chose new goddes, and then had they (the enemye) in the gates, though there were shilde and speare. There was not a child or spere sene amonge fourtye thousande of Israel.

¹⁴ Go & crye vnto the goddes which ye haue chosen, and lett them saue you in the tyme of youre tribulacion.

⁸ The Lord abhorreth the sacrifyce of the vngodly, but the prayer of the ryghteous is acceptable vnto hym.

²⁷ The sacrifyce of the vngodly is abhominacyon: howe moche more when they offre the thynge that is gotten with wyckednesse?

¹¹ Why offre ye so many sacrifices vnto me saith Lorde? I am full of the brentoffrynges of wethers, and of the fatnesse of fedbeastes. I haue no pleasure in the bloud of bullokes, lambes and goates. ¹² When ye come to apeare before me, who requireth this of you to treade within my porches? ¹³ Therfore offre me no mo oblacions, for it is but lost laboure. Incense is an abhominable thinge vnto me. I Maye not awaye with youre newe moones, your Sabbathes & gatheringe togyther at the solempne dayes. ¹⁴ I hate your newe mone dayes & solempne feastes, euen fro my very hert. I can not awaye wt suche vanitie & holdinge in of the people. 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.

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.

³ To a people that is euer defyinge me to my face. They make their oblacyons in gardens, and their smoke vpon aulters of brycke, ⁴ they lurcke amonge the graues, and lye in the dennes all nyght. They eat swynes fleshe, & vncleane broth is in their vessels.

¹² Therfore wyll I nombre you with the swerde, that ye shall be destroyed all together. For when I called, no man gaue me answere: when I spake, ye herkened not vnto me, but dyd wyckednes before myne eyes, and chose the thynge that pleased me not:

¹⁷ Soch as haue made them selues holy and cleane in the gardens, & those that haue eaten swynes flesh, myce, and other abhominacyons, shalbe taken awaye together, sayeth the Lorde.

²¹ I hate and abhorre your holy dayes, & where as ye cense me when ye come together, I wyll not accepte it. ²² And though ye offre me brent offrynges and meat offrynges, yet haue I no pleasure therin. As for your fat thanckofferynges. I wyll not loke vpon them:

¹⁹ And he sayde agayne: heare thou therfore the worde of the Lorde. I saw the Lorde syt on hys seate, and all the hoost of heauen stode about hym, on hys ryght hand and on hys lefte. ²⁰ And the Lorde sayde: who shall persuade Ahab, that he maye go and fall at Ramoth in Gilead? and one sayde on thys maner, and a nother on that, ²¹ And there came forth a certayne sprete, and stode before the Lorde and sayde: I wil persuade hym. ²² And the Lorde sayde vnto hym: wherwyth? And he sayde: I wyll go out, and be a false sprete in the mouth of all hys prophetes. He sayde: thou shalt persuade hym, and preuayle, go forth then, and do euen so. ²³ Now therfore beholde the Lord hath put a lyenge sprete in the mouth of all these thy prophetes: and the Lorde hath spoken euell towarde the.

² And he dyd euell in the syght of the Lorde, euen after the abhominacyons of the Hethen whom the Lorde cast out before the chyldren of Israel.

⁶ And he offered hys sonnes in fyre, and gaue hede vnto witchcraft and sorcery, and mayntened workers with spretes, and tellers of fortunes: and brought moche wyckednesse in the syght of the Lorde to angre hym.

¹² But my people wold not heare my voyce, and Israel wolde not obey me.

²⁴ I haue called, & ye refused it: I haue stretched out my hande: & no man regarded it:

³¹ Therfore shall they eate the frutes of theyr awne waye, & be filled with their awne inuencions: ³² for the turnynge awaye of the vnwyse shall sleye them, and the prosperytie of fooles shalbe their awne destruccyon.

²⁴ The thynge that the vngodly are afrayed of, shall come vpon them, but the ryghteous shall haue their desyre.

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.

³ To a people that is euer defyinge me to my face. They make their oblacyons in gardens, and their smoke vpon aulters of brycke,

¹³ And nowe, though ye haue done all these dedes (sayeth the Lorde) and I my self rose vp euer by tymes to warne you & to comen with you, yet wolde ye not heare me. I called, ye wolde not answere.

² The kyngdome of heauen is lyke vnto a man that was a kynge, whych made a mariage for hys sonne ³ & sent forth his seruauntes, to call them that were byd to the weddynge, & they wolde not come. ⁴ Agayne, he sent forth other seruauntes sayinge: Tell them whych are bydden: beholde, I haue prepared my dynner: my oxen & my fatlynges are kylled, & all thinges are ready, come vnto the mariage. ⁵ But they made lyght of it, & went their wayes: one to his ferme place, another to hys marchaundise, ⁶ & the remnaunt toke his seruauntes, & intreated them shamefully and slewe them. ⁷ But when the kyng hearde therof, he was wroth, & sent forth his men of warre & destroyed those murtherers, and brent vp theyr cytie.

²⁴ For there shall aryse false Chrystes, and false prophetes and shall shew great miracles, & wondres. In so moch (that yf it were possyble) the verie electe shuld be deceaued:

¹⁰ and with all deceauablenes of vnryghtwesnes, amonge them that perysshe: because they receaued not the loue of the trueth, that they myght be saued. ¹¹ And therfore, God shall sende them stronge delusyon, that they shulde beleue lyes: ¹² that all they myght be damned, whych beleued not the trueth: but had pleasure in vnryghtewesnes.

²⁰ They also that rewarde euell for good are agaynst me, because I folowe the thynge that good is.

¹³ Whoso despyseth anye thinge, shalbe hurt for the same: but he that feareth the commaundement, shall haue the rewarde.

⁶ but yet am I fayre & well fauoured withall. Maruell not at me that I am so black: for why? the sunne hath shyned vpon me. My mothers chyldren had euell wyll at me, they made me the keper of the vyneyeardes: but myne owne vyneyarde haue I not kept.

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

¹⁵ Because thou hast bene forsaken and hated, so that noman went thorowe the: I wyll make the gloryous for euer and euer, and ioyful thorow out all posterities:

² As for these thynges, my hande hath made them all, & they are all created, sayeth the Lorde. Whych of them shall I then regarde? Euen him that is pore and of a lowly troubled sprete, & standeth in awe of my wordes.

¹⁶ Nowe when they had hearde all the wordes, they were abashed one vpon another, and sayde vnto Baruch. We wyll certifye the kinge of all these wordes.

²³ And when Iehudi had redde thre or foure leaues therof, he cut the boke in peces with a penne knyfe, and cast it into the fyre vpon the harth, vntyll the boke was all brente in the fyre vpon the harth. ²⁴ Yet no man was abashed therof, or rente his clothes: nether the kynge hym selfe, ner his seruauntes, though they hearde all these wordes. ²⁵ Neuerthelesse Elnathan, Dalaiah, & Gamariah besought the kynge, that he wolde not burne the boke: not withstandynge the kynge wolde not heare them,

¹⁰ Blessed are they which suffre persecucyon for righteousnes sake: for theirs is the kingdome of heauen. ¹¹ Blessed are ye, when men reuyle you, and persecute you, and shall falesy say all maner of euyll sayinge against you, for my sake. ¹² Reioyse & be glad for greate is your rewarde in heuen. For so persecuted they the prophetes, which were before you.

²² & ye shalbe hated of all men for my name sake. But he that endureth to the ende, shalbe saued.

²² Blessed shall ye be, when men hate you, & thrust you out of their company, and rayle on you, and abhorre your names as an euyll thing, for the sonne of mannes sake. ²³ Reioyse ye in that daye, and be glad: for beholde, your rewarde is greate in heauen. For thus dyd theyr fathers vnto the prophetes.

¹⁷ And when he thus sayde, all hys aduersaries were ashamed, and all the people reioysed on all the excellent dedes, that were done by him.

³⁴ They answered, and sayd vnto hym: thou art al together borne in synne, and dost thou teach vs? And they cast him out.

¹⁸ If the worlde hate you, ye knowe that it hated me before it hated you. ¹⁹ If ye were of the worlde, the worlde wolde loue his awne. Howbeit, because ye are not of the world. But I haue chosen you out of the world therfore the world hateth you. ²⁰ Remember the worde that I sayd vnto you: the seruaunt is not greater then the lorde. If they haue persecuted me, they wyll also persecute you. If they haue kept my saying, they will kepe youres also.

² They shall excommunicat you: ye the tyme shall come, that whosoeuer kylleth you, will thinke that he doth God seruyce.

³³ Sence now that he by the ryght hande of God exalted is, and hath receaued of the father the promyse of the holy Goost, he hath sheed forth thys which ye now se and heare. ³⁴ For Dauid is not ascendyd into heuen: but he sayeth: The Lord sayde to my Lorde: syt thou on my ryght hand, ³⁵ vntyll I make thy fooes thy fote stole. ³⁶ So therfore, let all the house of Israel knowe for a suerty, that God hath made that same Iesus (whom ye haue crucified) Lorde and Chryst. ³⁷ When they hearde this, they were pricked in their hertes, and sayd vnto Peter, & vnto the other Apostles: Ye men & brethren what shall we do? ³⁸ Peter sayde vnto them: repent of youre synnes, and be baptysed euery one of you in the name of Iesus Chryst for the remission of synnes, and ye shall receaue the gyfte of the holy goost. ³⁹ For the promyse was made vnto you and to youre chyldren, and to all that are a farre of, euen as many as the Lorde oure God shall call. ⁴⁰ And with many other wordes bare he witnes, and exhorted them, sayinge: Saue youre selues from this vntowarde generacion. ⁴¹ Then they that gladly receaued his preachinge, were baptised: and the same daye, ther were added vnto them aboute thre thousande soules. ⁴² And they continued in the Apostles doctrine and felowshyp, & in breakynge of bread, and in prayers. ⁴³ And feare came ouer euery soule. And many wondres & signes were shewed by the Apostles. ⁴⁴ And all that beleued, kept them selues together, & had all thynges commen, ⁴⁵ and solde their possessions and goodes, and parted them to all men, as euery man had nede. ⁴⁶ And they continued dayly with one accorde in the temple, & brake bread from house to house, & dyd eate their meate together, wt gladnes & singlenes of hert, ⁴⁷ praysinge God, and had fauour with all the people. And the Lorde added to the congregacion dayly, soch as shulde be saued.

⁹ I also verely thought in my selfe, that I ought to do many contrary thynges, cleane agaynst the name of Iesus of Nazareth: ¹⁰ which thynge I also dyd in Ierusalem. And many of the saynctes dyd I shut vp in preson, and had receaued auctorite of the hye Prestes. And when they were put to deeth. I gaue the sentence.

¹⁵ Whych as they kylled the Lorde Iesus, and theyr awne Prophetes, euen so haue they persecuted vs: and God they please not, and are contrary to al men, ¹⁶ & hynder vs, that we shuld not speake vnto the Gentyls, that they myght be saued, to fulfyll their synnes alwaye. For the wrath of God is come on them, euen to the vtmost.

⁶ It is verely a ryghtewes thyng with God that he recompence tribulacyon to them that trouble you: ⁷ and to you whych are troubled, rest wyth vs, when the Lorde Iesus shall shewe hym selfe from heauen with the Angels of hys power, ⁸ wyth flaminge fyre, whych shall rendre vengeaunce vnto them that knowe not God, and that obeye not the Gospell of oure Lorde Iesus Christ ⁹ which shalbe punysshed wyth euerlastynge damnacyon, from the presence of the Lorde, and from the glory of his power, ¹⁰ when he shall come to be glorifyed in his saynctes, and to be come maruelous in all them that beleue: because oure testimonie that we had to you, was beleued euen the same daye.

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

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.

¹² Dearly beloued, maruayll not that ye are proued by fyre (whych thyng is to trye you) as though some straunge thing happened vnto you: ¹³ but reioyce, in as moch as ye are partakers of Christes passyons: that when hys glory appeareth, ye maye be mery and glad. ¹⁴ If ye be rayled vpon for the name of Christ, happie are ye. For the glory and the sprete of God resteth vpon you. On their parte he is euyll spoken of: but on youre parte he is glorifyed.

¹³ Maruayle not my brethren though the world hate you.

⁸ Unto the also, O Zion, shall come the daye of the vengeaunce of God, and the yeare when thyne awne iudgmentes shalbe recompensed.

¹⁸ (lyke as when a man goeth forth wrathfully to recompence hys enemyes, & to be auenged of hys aduersaryes.) Namelye, that be myght recompence & rewarde the Ilandes,

⁵ If thou comest nye them, they saye touch me not, for I am holyer then thou All these men when I am angry, shalbe turned to smoke & fyre, that shall burne for euer. ⁶ Beholde it is wryten before my face, & shall not be forgotten, but recompensed. I shall rewarde it them into their bosome: ⁷ I meane youre mysdedes, and the mysdedes of youre fathers together (sayeth the Lorde) which haue made their smokes vpon the mountaynes, and blasphemed me vpon the hylles: therfore will I measure their olde dedes into their bosome againe.

⁷ Beholde therfore, I wyll rayse them out of the place, where ye haue solde them, and will rewarde you euen vpon your head. ⁸ Your sonnes and youre daughters wyll I sell thorowe the handes of the chyldren of Iuda, and so they shall geue them forth to sell, vnto them of Saba, a people of a farre countre: for the Lorde him selfe hath sayde it. ⁹ Crye oute these thynges amonge the Gentyles, proclayme warre, wake vp the gyauntes, let them drawe nye, let them come vp all the lusty warryours of them. ¹⁰ Make you sweardes of your plowshares, and speares of youre sycles & sythes. Let the weake man saye: I am stronge. ¹¹ Mustre you, & come, all ye Heathen rounde about: gather you together, there shall the Lord laye all thy gyauntes to the grounde. ¹² Lett the people aryse, & get them to the valley of Iosaphat for there will I syt, & iudge all Heathen rounde about ¹³ Laye to your sythes, for the haruest is rype: come, get you downe: the wyne presse is full, yee, the wynepresses runne ouer, for their wickednes is waxen greate. ¹⁴ In the valley appoynted, there shalbe many, many people: for the daye of the Lorde is nye in the valley appoynted. ¹⁵ The sunne & moone shalbe darckened, & the starres shall withdrawe their lyght. ¹⁶ The Lorde shall roare out of Syon, and crye out of Ierusalem, that the heauens and the earth shall quake withall. But the Lorde shalbe a defence vnto hys awne people, and a refuge for the chyldren of Israel.

² And he sayde: The Lorde shall roare oute of Sion, and shewe his voyce from Ierusalem: so that the pastures of the shepherdes shalbe in a myserable case, & the toppe of Charmel dryed vp.

¹ Be glad now, thou baren that bearest not, reioyce, synge and be mery thou that art not wyth chylde: For the desolate hath moo chyldren, then the maryed wyfe, sayeth the Lorde.

²⁶ But Ierusalem, which is aboue, is fre: which is the mother of vs al.

¹ And ther appered a gret wonder in heauen: A woman clothed wt the sonne, & the mone vnder her fete, & vpon her heed a croune of .xii. starres. ² And she was wt chylde, & cryed trauaylinge in byrth, & payned redy to be delyuered. ³ And ther appered another wonder in heauen, for beholde, a gret red dragon hauynge .vii. heddes, & ten hornes & seuen crounes vpon hys heades: ⁴ and hys tayle drue the thyrde parte of the starres and cast them to the erth. And the dragon stode before the woman whych was redy to be delyuered: for to deuoure her chylde as sone as it were borne. ⁵ And she brought forth a man childe, which shulde rule all nacyons with a rodd of yron. And her sonne was taken vp vnto God, & to his seate.

²⁰ Then the childe whom the baren shall bringe forth vnto the, shall saye in thyne care: thys place is to narowe, gyue place that I maye haue rowme. ²¹ Then shalt thou thynke by thy selfe: Who hath begotten me these? seinge I am baren and alone, a captyue and an out cast? And who hath noryshed them vp for me? I am desolate and alone, but from whence come these? ²² And therfore thus sayth the Lorde God: Behold, I wyll stretch out myne hande to the Gentyls, and set vp my token to the people. They shall bring the thy sonnes in their lappes: and carye thy daughters vnto the vpon their shoulders.

⁴ For sence the begynnynge of the worlde it hath not bene hearde or perceaued, nether hath any eye sene another God besyde the: which dost so moche for them, that put their trust in the.

⁴¹ Then they that gladly receaued his preachinge, were baptised: and the same daye, ther were added vnto them aboute thre thousande soules.

⁴ Howbeit many of them which hearde the wordes beleued, and the nombre of the men was aboute fyue thousande.

²⁰ And when they hearde it, they glorifyed the Lorde, and sayde vnto him: Thou seest brother, how many thousande Iewes ther are which beleue, and they are all ernest folowers ouer the lawe.

¹⁸ For I dare not speake of eny of those thynges, whych Chryst hath not wrought by me, to make the Gentyls obedient, with worde and dede, ¹⁹ in myghty sygnes & wonders, by the power of the sprete of God: so that from Ierusalem & the coastes rounde aboute vnto Illyrycum, I haue fylled all countres with the Gospell of Christ. ²⁰ So haue I enforsed my selfe to preache the Gospell, not where Chryst was named, lest I shulde haue bylt on another mannes foundacyon: ²¹ but as it is written. To whom he was not spoken of, they shall se: & they that hearde not, shall vnderstande.

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.

¹⁴ is any thynge wonderfull to God? Acordynge to the tyme appoynted will I returne vnto the, euen acordynge to the tyme of lyfe, & Sara shall haue a sonne.

³ and they said vnto hym: Thus sayth Hezekias: Thys is the daye of trouble, of plage and of blasphemye: for the children are come to the place of byrth: but there is no power to brynge them forth.

⁴³ Prayse ye hethen his people, for he will auenge the bloude of hys seruauntes, & wyll auenge hym of his aduersaries, and wylbe mercyfull vnto his lande, and to hys people.

⁸ Lorde, I haue loued the habitacion of thy house, & the place where thyne honoure dwelleth.

¹ To the chaunter vpon Githith, a Psalme of the sonnes of Corah. O how amyable are thy dwellynges, thou Lorde of Hostes? ² My soule hath a desyre and longinge to entre into the courtes of the Lorde: my hert and my flesh reioyse in the liuyng God. ³ Yee, the sparow hath founde her an house, and the swalowe a nest, where she may laye her yonge: euen thy aulters O Lorde of Hostes, my kynge and my God. ⁴ Blessed are they that dwell in thy house, they wilbe all waye praysyng the. Sela.

⁶ O praye for the peace of Ierusalem: they shall prospere that loue the.

⁶ If I do not remembre the, let my tong cleue to the rofe of my mouth: yee, yf I preferre not Ierusalem in my myrth.

²³ Be glad ye heauens, whom the Lorde hath made for the Lorde hath dealte graciously wt hys people, let all that is here beneth vpon the earth, be ioyfull. Reioyse ye mountaynes and woddes, with all the trees therof: for the Lorde hath redemed Iacob, and wyll shewe hys glory vpon Israel.

² that I myght declare the acceptable yeare of the Lorde, and the daye of the vengeaunce of oure God: that I myght comforte all them that are in heuynesse, ³ that I myght geue vnto them that mourne in Sion, that I myght geue I saye, bewty in the steade of ashes, ioyfull oyntement for syghthinge, pleasaunt rayment for an heuy mynde: That they myght be called trees of ryghteousnesse, a plantynge of the Lorde for hym to reioyce in.

¹⁸ but the Lorde sayth be glad and euermore reioyse, for the thynges, that I shall do. For why: Beholde, I shall make a ioyfull Ierusalem, and his people ioyfull,

⁴ and the Lorde sayde vnto hym: Go thy waye thorowe the cyte of Ierusalem, and set a marcke vpon the foreheades of them, that mourne and are sory for all the abhominacions, that be done therin.

²⁰ Uerely verely, I saye vnto you: ye shall wepe and lamente, but contrary wyse, the world shall reioyse. Ye shall sorowe, but yor sorowe shalbe turned to ioye. ²¹ A woman when she trauaileth, hath sorowe, because her houre is come: but assone as she is deliuered of the childe, she remembreth nomore the anguisshe, for ioye that a man is borne into the worlde. 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.

⁹ that the gentyls myght prayse God for hys mercy, as it is wrytten. For this cause I will prayse the amonge the gentyls, and synge vnto thy name. ¹⁰ And agayne he sayth: reioyse ye gentyles wyth hys people. ¹¹ And agayne, prayse the Lorde all ye gentyls, and laude hym all ye nacyons together. ¹² And agayne Esay sayth: ther shalbe the rote of Iesie, and he that shall ryse to raygne ouer the gentyls: in hym shall the gentyls trust.

³ And I wyll geue power vnto my two witnesses, & they shall prophesy a thousande, two hundred & .lx. dayes, clothed in sacke clothe. ⁴ These are two olyue trees, & two candelstyckes, standynge before the God of the erth. ⁵ And yf eny man wyll hurt them, fyre shall procede out of their mouthes, and consume their enemyes. And yf eny men wyll hurt them, thys wyse muste he be kylled. ⁶ These haue power to shut heauen, that it rayne not in the dayes of their prophesying: and haue power ouer waters to turne them to bloude, and to smyte the erth with all maner plages, as often as they wyll. ⁷ And when they haue finysshed their testimony, the beast that cam out of the bottomlesse pyt, shall make warre agaynst them, & shall ouercome them, & kyll them. ⁸ And their bodyes shall lye in the stretes of the greate citye, which spritually is called Zodom and Egypte, where oure Lorde was crucyfyed. ⁹ And they of the people & kynredes, & tonges, & they of the nacyons, shall se their bodyes .iii. dayes and an halfe, & shall not suffre their bodyes to be put in graues. ¹⁰ And they that dwell vpon the erth, shall reioyce ouer them, and be glad, & shall sende gyftes one to another, for these two prophetes vexed them that dwelt on the erth. ¹¹ And after .iii. dayes & an halfe, the sprete of lyfe from God, entred into them. And they stode vp vpon their fete, & greate feare came vpon them whych sawe them. ¹² And they herde a greate voyce from heauen, sayinge vnto them. Come vp hyther. And they ascended vp into heauen in a cloude, & their enemyes sawe them. ¹³ And the same houre was ther a great erthquake, and the tenth parte of the cytye fell, and in the erthquake were slayne names of men seuen .M. and the remnaunt were feared, and gaue glory to the God of heauen. ¹⁴ The second woo is past, & beholde, the thyrde woo wyll come anone. ¹⁵ And the seuenth Angell blewe, & ther were made greate voyces in heauen, sayinge: the kyngdoms of this worlde are oure lordes, and his Christes, & he shall raygne for euermore.

⁸ They shalbe satisfyed with the plenteousnesse of thy house, and thou shalt geue them dryncke of thy pleasures, as out of the ryuer.

⁵ Then thou shalt se thys: and be gloriouse, thou shalt maruell exceadyngly, and thyne hert shalbe opened: when the abundaunce of the see shalbe conuerted vnto the (that is) when the ryches of the Gentiles shall come vnto the.

¹⁶ Thou shalt sucke the mylck of the Gentiles, and kynges brestes shall fede the. And thou shalt know, that I the Lorde am thy Sauyoure and redemer, the myghty one of Iacob.

¹⁸ Then shall the mountaynes drope swete wyne, and the hylles shall flowe with mylcke. All the ryuers of Iuda shall haue water ynough, and out of the Lordes house there shall flowe a spring, to water the broke of Sitim:

² & as new borne babes, desyre ye that mylke (not of the body but of the soule) which is wt out disceate that ye maye growe ther by

³ The mountaynes also shall brynge peace, and the lytle hilles righteousnesse vnto the people. ⁴ He shall kepe the symple folke by their ryght, defende the chyldren of the poore, and punish the wronge doer. ⁵ They shall feare the as long as the sonne and mone endureth, from one generacion to another. ⁶ He shall come downe like the rayne into a flese of wolle, euen as the droppes that water the earth. ⁷ In his tyme shall the ryghteous florish, yee, and aboundaunce of peace, so longe as the mone endureth,

⁷ he shall make no ende to encrease the kyngdome & peace, & shall syt vpon the seate of Dauid & in his kyngdome, to set vp the same, & to stablish it wt equyte and ryghteousnesse, from hence forth for euermore. Thys shall the gelousy of the Lorde of Hostes brynge to passe.

¹⁴ Thus sayeth the Lord. The occupiers of Egypt, the marchauntes of the Morians and Sabees, shall come vnto the with tribute, they shalbe thyne, they shall folowe the, and go with cheynes vpon their fete. They shall fall downe before the, and make supplicacyon vnto the. For God (without whom there is none other God) shalbe with the.

¹⁸ O that thou hadst regarded my commaundementes, then had thy welthynes bene as the water streame: and thy righteousnes as the waues flowynge in the see:

¹⁹ As for thy land that lyeth desolate wasted and destroyed: it shalbe to narowe for them that shall dwell in it. And they that wolde deuoure the, they shalbe farre awaye. ²⁰ Then the childe whom the baren shall bringe forth vnto the, shall saye in thyne care: thys place is to narowe, gyue place that I maye haue rowme. ²¹ Then shalt thou thynke by thy selfe: Who hath begotten me these? seinge I am baren and alone, a captyue and an out cast? And who hath noryshed them vp for me? I am desolate and alone, but from whence come these? ²² And therfore thus sayth the Lorde God: Behold, I wyll stretch out myne hande to the Gentyls, and set vp my token to the people. They shall bring the thy sonnes in their lappes: and carye thy daughters vnto the vpon their shoulders. ²³ For kinges shalbe thy nursyng fathers, and quenes shalbe thy nursing mothers. They shall fall before the wt theyr faces flatt vpon the earth: and lycke vp the dust of thy fete: that thou mayst knowe how that I am the Lorde. And who so putteth his trust in me, shall not be confounded.

³ for thou shalt be multiplied on the ryght syde & on the left, and thy sede shall haue the Gentyles in possessyon and dwell in the desolate cyties.

⁴ Lyft vp thyne eyes, & loke rounde aboute the? All these gather themselues, & come to the. Thy Sonnes shall come vnto the from farre, and thy daughters shall gather them selues to the on euery syde. ⁵ Then thou shalt se thys: and be gloriouse, thou shalt maruell exceadyngly, and thyne hert shalbe opened: when the abundaunce of the see shalbe conuerted vnto the (that is) when the ryches of the Gentiles shall come vnto the. ⁶ The multitude of Camels shall couer the, the dromedaries of Madian & Epha All they of Saba shall come, bryngynge golde & incense, & shewinge the prayse of the Lord. ⁷ All the catell of Cedar shalbe gathered vnto the, the rammes of Nabaioth shall serue the, to be offred acceptablye vpon myne aulter, which I haue chosen, & in the house of my glory which I haue garnyshed. ⁸ But what are these, that fle here lyke the cloudes, & as the doues flyenge to theyr wyndowes? ⁹ The Iles also shall wayte for me, & specially the shyppes of Tharsis: that they maye brynge thy sonnes from farre, & theyr syluer & their golde with them, vnto the name of the Lorde thy God, vnto the holy one of Israel, that hath glorifyed the. 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: ¹¹ Thy gates shall stande open styll both daye and nyght, and neuer be shut: that the hooste of the Gentiles maye come, and that theyr kinges maye be brought vnto the. ¹² For euery people and kyngdome that serueth not the, shall perysh, & be distroyed wt vtter destructyon. ¹³ The glory of libanus shall come vnto the. The Fyrre trees, Boxes and Cedres together, to garnyshe the place of my Sanctuary, for I wyll glorifye the place of my fete. ¹⁴ Moreouer, those shall come knelyng vnto the, that haue vexed the: and all they that despysed the, shall fall downe at thy fote. Thou shalt be called the cytie of the Lorde, Sion the cytie of the holy one of Israel.

⁶ But ye shalbe named the prestes of the Lorde, and men shall call you the seruauntes of oure God. Ye shall enioye the goodes of the Gentiles, and triumphe in their substaunce.

¹¹ For ye shall sucke comforte out of her brestes, and be satisfyed. Ye shall taste, and haue delyte in the plenteousnesse of her power.

¹⁹ Unto them shall I geue a token, and sende certayne of them (that be delyuered) amonge the Gentiles: into Cilycia, Affryca, and Lydia (where men can handle bowes) into Italye and also Greke lande. The Iles farre of, that haue not herde speake of me, and haue not sene my glory, shall preache my prayse amonge the Gentiles, ²⁰ and shall brynge all youre brethren for an offrynge vnto the Lorde, out of all the people, vpon horses, charrettes and horse lytters, vpon Mules and cartes to Ierusalem my holy hyll (sayeth the Lorde) lyke as the chyldre of Israel brynge the offrynge in cleane vessels, to the house of the Lorde.

¹ Comforte my people (O ye prophetes) comforte my people, sayeth your God,

³ Therfore shall the Lorde comforte Syon, & repayre all her decaye: making her deserte as a paradise, & her wildernesse as the garden of the Lorde. Myrth and ioye shalbe founde there, thankesgeuing & the voyce of prayse.

¹⁸ but the Lorde sayth be glad and euermore reioyse, for the thynges, that I shall do. For why: Beholde, I shall make a ioyfull Ierusalem, and his people ioyfull, 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.

¹⁰ Reioyse with Ierusalem, and be glad with her, all ye that loue her. Be ioyfull with her, all ye that mourned for her.

⁴ whych comforteth vs in all oure tribulacyon, in so moche that we are hable to comforte them whych are in any maner of trouble, with the same comforte, wherwith we oure selues are comforted of God.

⁷ but we were tender amonge you, euen as a norsse cheryssheth her chyldren,

⁹ For vpon the fyrst daye of the fyrst moneth, beganne he to go vp from Babilon: & on the fyrst daye of the fyfth moneth came he to Ierusalem, because the good hande of God was vpon him.

¹⁸ And (thorow the good hande of oure God vpon vs) they broughte vs a wyse man from amonge the children of Moholi the sonne of Leui, the sonne of Israel, and Sarabia with hys sonnes and his brethren, euen eyghtene.

²² For I was ashamed to requyre of the kynge, soudyers & horsmen, to helpe vs agaynst the enemy in the waye: but we sayd vnto the kynge: The hande of oure God is vpon all them that seke hym in goodnes, and hys violence and wrath is agaynst all them that forsake him.

³¹ And we brake vp, from the water of Ahaua on the twelueth daye of the fyrst moneth, to go vnto Ierusalem: and the hande of oure God was vpon vs, and deliuered vs from the hande of the enemies, and of soch as layde wayte for vs by the waye.

⁸ so shall thy nauell be whole, and thy bones stronge.

²² A mery herte maketh a lusty age, but a sorowfull mynde dryeth vp the bones.

⁵ Wo be also vnto Assur, which is a staf of my wrath, in whose hande is the rod of my punyshement.

¹⁹ Thy deed men shall lyue, euen wt my body shall they rise agayne. Awake and syng ye that dwell in dust. For thy dewe is euen as the dewe of herbes, and the earth shall cast out them that be vnder her.

¹¹ The lord shall euer be thy guyd, & satisfie the desyre of thyne herte in the tyme of drougthe, & fyll thy bones wt mary. Thou shalt be lyke a fresh waterd garden & lyke the fountayne of water, that neuer leaueth runnynge.

¹² Therfore wyll I nombre you with the swerde, that ye shall be destroyed all together. For when I called, no man gaue me answere: when I spake, ye herkened not vnto me, but dyd wyckednes before myne eyes, and chose the thynge that pleased me not: ¹³ Therfore thus sayeth the Lorde God: Beholde, my seruauntes shall eate, but ye shall haue honger: Beholde, my seruauntes shall dryncke, but ye shall suffre thurste. Beholde, my seruauntes shall be mery, but ye shall be confounded. ¹⁴ Beholde, my seruauntes shall reioyce for very quyetnesse of herte: But ye shall crye for sorowe of hert, and complayne for vexacyon of mynde. ¹⁵ Youre name shall you leaue accursed amonge my chosen, for God the Lorde shall slaye you, and call his seruauntes by another name. ¹⁶ Who so reioyseth vpon earth, shall reioyse in the true God. And who so sweareth vpon earth, shall sweare in the true God. For the olde enmyte shalbe forgotten, and taken awaye oute of my syght.

¹ The hande of the Lorde came vpon me and caried me out in the sprete of the Lorde, and let me downe in a playne felde, that laye ful of bones, ² and he led me rounde about by them: and beholde, the bones that laye vpon the felde, were very many, and maruelous drye also. ³ Then sayd he vnto me. Thou sonne of man: thinkest thou these bones maye lyue agayne? I answered O Lorde God, thou knowest. ⁴ And he sayde vnto me. Prophecy thou vpon these bones, and speake vnto them. Ye drye bones, heare the worde of the Lord. ⁵ Thus sayeth the Lorde God vnto these bones: Beholde, I wyll put breth into you, that ye may lyue: ⁶ I will geue yow synowes, and make fleshe growe vpon you, and couer you ouer with skinne: and so geue you breth, that ye may lyue, & knowe, that I am the Lorde. ⁷ So I prophecied, as he had commaunded me. And as I was prophecyinge, there came a noyse & a great mocyon, so that the bones ranne euery one to another. ⁸ Now when I had loked, beholde, they had synowes, and fleshe grewe vpon them: and aboue they were couered with skynne, but there was no breth in them. ⁹ Then sayde he vnto me. Thou sonne of man, prophecye thou towarde the wynde: prophecy: and speake to the wynde. Thus sayeth the Lord God. Come (O thou ayre) from the foure wyndes, & blowe vpon these slayne that they may be restored to lyfe. ¹⁰ So I prophecied, as he had commaunded me: then came the breth into them, and they receaued lyfe, and stode vp vpon their fete, a maruelous greate sorte. ¹¹ Moreouer, he sayde vnto me: Thou sonne of man, these bones are the whole house of Israell. Beholde, they saye: Oure bones dried vp, oure hope is gone, we are clene cut of. ¹² Therfore prophecie thou, and speake vnto them: thus saieth the Lord God. Beholde, I will open your graues (O my people) and take you out of your sepulcres, & brynge you into the lande of Israel agayne. ¹³ So shall ye knowe that I am the Lorde, when I open your graues, and bringe you out of them. ¹⁴ My sprete also will I put in you, and ye shall lyue: I will set you agayne in your awne lande, and ye shall knowe, that I am the Lord, which haue sayde it, and fulfilled it in dede.

⁴ O (yf they wolde do this) I shulde heale theyr sores: yee, with all my herte wolde I loue them: so that my wrath shulde cleane be turned awaye from them. ⁵ Yee, I wolde be vnto Israel as the dewe, and he shulde growe as the lylie, and hys rote shulde breake out as Libanus. ⁶ His braunches shulde sprede out abroade and be as fayre as the olyue tre and smell as Libanus. ⁷ They that dwell vnder hys shadowe, shulde come agayne, and growe vp as the corne, & floryshe as the vyne he shulde haue as good a name, as the wyne of Libanus. ⁸ O Ephraim, what haue I to do wyth Idols eny more? I wyll graciously heare hym, and sede hym forth. I wyll be vnto the as a grene fyrre tre, vpon me shalt thou fynde thy frute.

⁷ Ephraim shalbe as a gyaunt, and their hert shalbe chereful as thorow wyne: yee, their children shall se it, and be glad, and their hert shall reioyce in the Lorde.

¹⁸ Turne you therfore, and consydre what dyfference is betwyxte the righteous and vngodly, betwixte him that serueth God, and him that serueth hym not.

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.

²⁷ but a fearfull lokyng for iudgement, & violent fyre, whych shall deuoure the aduersaries.

⁶ Upon the vngodly he shall rayne snares, fyre, and brymstone, storme & tempest: thys shalbe theyr porcyon to dryncke.

⁹ Thou shalt make them lyke a fyrye ouen in tyme of thy wrath: the Lorde shall destroye them in hys displeasure, and the fyre shall consume them.

³ Oure God shall come, and shall not kepe sylence: there shall go before hym a consumynge fyre, and a myghtye tempest shalbe stered vp rounde aboute hym.

¹⁷ The charettes of God are twentie thousande, euen thousandes of angels, and the Lord is amonge them as in the holy place of Sinai.

³ There shall go a fyre before hym, and burne vp hys enemyes on euery syde.

²⁷ Beholde, the fame of the Lord commeth from farre, and his presence is so hote, that no man is able to abyde. His lyppes are full of indignation, and hys tonge is as a consumynge fyer. ²⁸ Hys breth is as a vehement floude of water, that reacheth vp to the necke. That he maye syft awaye the Heythen in the syue of vanitye. And his breth is as a brydle of errour in the chawes of the people.

³³ For the fyer of payne is ordeyned from the begynning: yee, euen for kynges is it prepared. Thys hath the Lorde set in the depe, and made it wyde: the burninge wherof is fyer and muche wodde. The breth of the Lorde, which is a ryuer of brymstone, doth kyndle it.

³ For thus sayeth the Lorde, to all Iuda & Ierusalem: plowe your lande, and sowe not amonge the thornes.

⁴⁰ In the latter tyme shall the kynge of the south stryue wyth him: and the kynge of the north in lyke maner shall come against him with charettes, horsmen and wt a greate nauy of shyppes. He shall come into the landes, destroye and go thorowe:

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.

⁷ But when the kyng hearde therof, he was wroth, & sent forth his men of warre & destroyed those murtherers, and brent vp theyr cytie.

⁶ It is verely a ryghtewes thyng with God that he recompence tribulacyon to them that trouble you: ⁷ and to you whych are troubled, rest wyth vs, when the Lorde Iesus shall shewe hym selfe from heauen with the Angels of hys power, ⁸ wyth flaminge fyre, whych shall rendre vengeaunce vnto them that knowe not God, and that obeye not the Gospell of oure Lorde Iesus Christ ⁹ which shalbe punysshed wyth euerlastynge damnacyon, from the presence of the Lorde, and from the glory of his power,

¹⁰ Neuerthelesse the daye of the Lord wyll come as a thefe in the nyghte, in the which daye, the heauens shall passe awaye in maner of a tempest, and the elementes shal melt with heat: the erth also & the workes that are therin, shall burne. ¹¹ Seyng then that all these thinges shal perishe, what maner persons ought ye to be in holy conuersacyon, and godlynes: ¹² lokyng for, and hastinge vnto the commynge of the daye of God, by whom the heauens shall perisshe with fyre, & the elementes shall melt with heate?

¹ In that daye, the Lorde wt his sore, great and myghtye swearde shall viset Leuiathan the fugityue serpent, euen Leuiathan that croked serpent, and he shall slaye the dragon that is in the see.

³⁰ And the Lorde shall cause his gloryous voyce to be heard, and shall declare his stretched out arme with a terrible countenaunce and with the flame of a consuming fyer, with noysome lyghtenynge, with a shower, and with hayle stone.

⁵ For my sweard shalbe bathed in heauen, and shall immediatly come downe in iudgment vpon Idumea, and vpon the people which I haue cursed for my vengeaunce. ⁶ And the Lordes swearde shalbe full of bloude, & be rusty wt the fatnes and bloude of lambes and goates, with the fatnesse of the kidneys of wethers. For the Lord shall kill a great offering in Bozra, & a great slaughter in the lande of Idumea. ⁷ There shall the vnicornes fall wt them, and the bulles wt the gyauntes: and their lande shalbe thorowely soaked with bloude, & their grounde corrupt with fatnes. ⁸ Unto the also, O Zion, shall come the daye of the vengeaunce of God, and the yeare when thyne awne iudgmentes shalbe recompensed. ⁹ And his floudes shalbe turned to pytch, and his earth to brimstone: & there with shall the land be kindled, ¹⁰ so that it shall not be quenched daye ner nyght: but smoke euermore, and so forth to lye waste. And no man shall go thorowe it for euer.

²¹ I will cal for a swearde vpon them in all my mountaines sayeth the Lorde God: so that euery mans swearde shall be vpon another. ²² With pestylence and bloude will I punishe him: stormy rayne and hayle stones, fyre and brimstome will I cause to rayne vpon him and all his heape, yee, and vpon all that greate people that is with hym.

² and punyshe the with sixe plages, & leade the from the north partes, and bring the vp to the mountaines of Israell. ³ As for thy bowe, I will smyte it out of thy left hande, and cast thyne arowes out of thy ryght hande. ⁴ Thou with all thine heape, and all the people that is wt the, must fall vpon the mountaynes of Israell. Then will I geue the vnto foules and wilde beastes of the felde, to be deuoured: ⁵ there must thou lye vpon the felde: for euen I the Lord haue spoken it, sayeth the Lord God. ⁶ Into Magog, and among those that syt so carelesse in the Iles: will I send a fyre, & they shal knowe, that I am the Lord, ⁷ I wil make also the name of my holinesse to be knowne among my people of Israel: and I will not let my holy name be euel spoken of enymore: but the very Heathen also shall knowe, that I am the Lord, the holy one of Israel. ⁸ Beholde, it commeth, and shalbe fulfilled in dede, sayeth the Lord God. This is the daye wherof I haue spoken. ⁹ They that dwel in the cities of Israell, shall go forth and set fyre vpon the weapens, and burne them: shyldes and speres, bowes and arowes, bylles & clubbes: seuen yeares shal they be burnynge therof, ¹⁰ so that they shal els bringe no stickes from the felde, nether haue nede to hewe downe eny out of the wodde. For they shal haue weapens ynowe to burne. They shal robbe those that robbed them, & spoyle those that spoyled them sayeth the Lord God.

¹¹ And I sawe heauen open, & behold, a whyte horsse: & he that sat vpon him was called faythfull & true, & in rightewesnes he doth iudge & make battayle. ¹² His eyes were as a flamme of fyre: & on his heed were many crownes: & he had a name wrytten, that noman knew but he hym selfe. ¹³ And he was clothed wyth a vesture dipt in bloude, & his name is called the worde of God. ¹⁴ And the warriers which were in heauen, folowed him vpon whyte horsses, clothed wyth whyte & pure raynes: ¹⁵ and out of hys mouthe wente a sharpe two edged swerde, that wyth it he shulde smyte the hethen. And he shall rule them wyth a rodde of yron, and he trode the wynefat of fearsnes and wrath of almyghty God. ¹⁶ And hath on hys vesture and on his thygh a name wrytten: Kyng of Kynges, and Lorde of Lordes. ¹⁷ And I sawe an Angell stande in the sonne, and he cryed with a loude voyce, sayinge: to all the fowles that flye by the middes of heauen: come and gather youre selues to gether vnto the supper of the great God, ¹⁸ that ye maye eate fleshe of kynges, and the fleshe of hye captaynes, and the fleshe of myghty men, & the fleshe of horsses, and of them that syt on them, and the flesh of all free men and bonde men and of small and gret. ¹⁹ And I sawe the beast, and the kynges of the earth, and their warriers gathered together to make batayle agaynst hym that sat on the horsse, and agaynst his soudiers. ²⁰ And the beast was taken, & with hym that false prophet that wrought miracles before hym, with whych he deceaued them that receaued the beastes marke, & them that worshypped hys ymage. These both were cast quicke into a ponde of fyre burnynge wyth brymstone: ²¹ & the remnaunt were slayne wt the swearde of hym that sat vpon the horsse, whych swearde proceaded out of his mouth, & all the soules were fulfylled wyth theyr fleshe.

² speake vnto the children of Israel, & saye these are the beastes whych ye shall eate, amonge all the catell that are on the earth: ³ whatsoeuer parteth the hoofe, and deuydeth it into two clawes, and chaweth cud amonge the beastes, that shall ye eate. ⁴ Neuerthelesse, these shall ye not eate, of them that chewe cud, & deuydeth the hoofes: as is the camell, whych chaweth cud, but he deuydeth not the hoofe, therfore is he vncleane vnto you, ⁵ euen so the conye, whych chaweth the cud but deuydeth not the hoofe: He is vncleane to you. ⁶ And the hare though he chawe the cud, yet because he deuideth not the hoofe, he is therfore vncleane to you. ⁷ And agayne, the swyne, though he deuyde the hoffe in to two clawes, yet he chaweth not the cud. He is vncleane to you. ⁸ Of theyr fleshe shall ye not eate, & theyr carkasses shall ye not touche, but let them be vncleane to you.

³ Thou shalt eate no maner of abhominacion. ⁴ These are the beastes which ye shall eate of oxen, shepe and goates, ⁵ hert, roo and bugle: wildegoate, vnicorne, wylde oxen & Camelion. ⁶ And all beastes that cleaue the hoffe, and slytte it into two clawes, and chewe the cud, them ye shall eate. ⁷ Neuerthelesse, these ye shall not eate of them that chewe cud and of them that deuyde and cleaue the hoffe: the camell, the hare and the conye: whych chewe cud, but deuyde not the hoffe: therfore are they vncleane vnto you: ⁸ and also the swine, though he deuide the hoffe, yet he cheweth not cud, therfore is he vncleane vnto you: ye shall not eate of the flesh of soche, nor touche the dead carkesse of them.

²⁸ For the transgressours & vngodly, and soch as are be come vnfaythfull vnto the Lord, must altogether be vtterly destroyed. ²⁹ For they shall be ashamed of the goddes that you longed for. And ye shall be put to shame for the Idols grouegardens that ye haue chosen:

²¹ And then when moch myschefe and tribulacyon is come vpon them, thys songe shall answere them, as a wytnesse. For it shall not be forgotten out of the mouthes of theyr seed: for I knowe theyr imaginacyon, whych they goo about euen nowe, before I haue broughte them into the lande which I sware.

² I knowe that thou hast power ouer all thynges, and that there is no thought hyd vnto the.

² That thy waye maye be knowne vpon earth, thy sauynge health amonge all nacions.

¹¹ All kinges shal fall downe before him: all nacions shall do him seruice.

¹⁷ His name shall endure for euer, his name shall remayne vnder the sunne amonge the posterites, which shalbe blessed thorow him, and all the Heathen shall prayse him

⁸ Aryse, O God, and iudge thou the earth, for thou shalt take all Heathen to thine enheritaunce.

⁹ All nacyons whom thou hast made, shall come and worshyppe the (O Lord) and shall gloryfye thy name.

² It wilbe also in the last dayes that the hyll where the house of the Lorde is builded, shall be the chefe amonge hylles, and exalted aboue all lytle hylles. And all nacyons shall preace vnto hym, and the multytude of people shal go

²⁸ I knowe thy wayes, thy goinge forth and thy commynge home, yee, & thy madnesse agaynst me.

¹⁰ Moreouer, thus sayeth the Lord God: At the same tyme shal many thinges come into thy mynde, so that thou shalt ymagyn myschefe,

²¹ I will bringe my glory also amonge the Gentyles, that all the heathen maye se my iudgement, that I haue kepte, and my hand which I haue layed vpon them:

² I shall gather all people together, and brynge them in the valley of Iosaphat: and there will I reason with them: because of my people and heritage of Israel: whom they haue scatred about in the nacyons: and parted my lande:

¹² as for the multitude of youre wyckednesses and youre stoute synnes, I knowe them ryght well. Enemyes are ye of the ryghteous, ye take rewardes, ye oppresse the poore in iudgement.

⁴ And when Iesus sawe their thoughtes, he sayde. Wherfore thyncke ye euyll in youre heartes?

²⁵ But whan Iesus knewe their thoughtes he sayde vnto them: Euery kingdome deuided agaynst it selfe, shalbe brought to naught. And euery citie or house deuyded agaynst it selfe shall not stande.

²² But when Iesus perceaued their thoughtes, he answered, and said vnto them: What thyncke ye in your hertes?

⁴² But I knowe you, that ye haue not the loue of God in you.

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

⁸ And thys I saye, that Iesus Chryst was a mynister of the circumcisyon for the trueth of God, to conferme the promyses made vnto the fathers:

²⁶ but now is opened by the scriptures of the prophetes at the commaundement of the euerlastynge God, to stere vp obedience to the fayth, publysshed amonge all nacions:

²⁰ And agayne: God knoweth the thoughtes of the wyse, that they be vayne.

⁴ in whom the God of this world hath blynded the myndes of them which beleue not, lest the lyght of the gospell of the glory of Christ (whych is the ymage of God) shulde shyne vnto them. ⁵ For we preache not our selues, but Christ Iesus to be the Lorde, and oure selues youre seruauntes, for Iesus sake. ⁶ For it is God, that commaunded the lyght to shyne out of darcknes, which hath shyned in oure hertes, for to geue the lyght of the knowledge of the glory of God, in the face of Iesus Christ.

¹² For the worde of God is quycke, and myghty in operacion, and sharper then eny two edged swearde: & entreth through, euen vnto the diuidynge a sonder of the soule and the sprete, and of the ioyntes and the mary: and is a discerner of the thoughtes and of the intentes of the herte:

² I knowe thy workes, and thy labour, & thy pacience, and how thou cannest not forbeare them whych are euyll: and hast examined them whych saye they are Apostles, and are not: & hast founde them lyars,

⁹ I know thy workes & tribulacyon and pouerte, but thou art ryche. And I knowe the blasphemy of them, whych call them selues Iewes & are not: but are the congregacyon of Sathan.

¹³ I knowe thy workes, & where thou dwellest, euen where Sathanas seat is, and thou kepest my name, & hast not denyed my fayth. And in my dayes Antipas was a faythfull wytnes of myne, whych was slayne amonge you, where Sathan dwelleth.

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

² The chyldren of Iapheth: Gomer and Magog, and Madai, and Iauan, and Thubal, Mesech and Theras.

⁴ The chyldren of Iauan: Elisa and Tharsis, Kitthim, and Dodanim.

¹³ Mizraiim begat Ludym, & Enamim, & Lehabim, and Nephtuhim.

⁷ And the sonnes of Iauan, Elisa, and Tharsisa, Citim and Dodanim.

¹¹ Mizraim begat Ludin, and Anamin, Lahabim, and Naphthnim,

²⁴ Tell of hys glorye amonge the heithen: his wonderfull dedes amonge all nacyons.

¹⁰ The kynges of Tharsis and of the Iles shall geue presentes, the kynges of Araby and Saba shall bring gyftes.

¹⁶ vpon all shyppes of Tharsis, and vpon euery thyng that is glorious and pleasaunt to loke vpon.

¹⁰ And in that daye shal the gentyles enquere after the rote of Iesse which shalbe set vp for a token vnto the people, & hys dwellynge shalbe glorious. ¹¹ At the same time shal the lord take in hande agayne, to conquere the remnaunt of his people (which shalbe left alyue) From the Assyrians, Egypcians, Arabians, Morians, Elamites, Caldeyes, Antiochians and from the Ilandes of the see.

³ All ye inhabiters of the worlde and indwellers of the earth, loke vp whan he setteth a token in the mountaynes, and harken whan he bloweth wyth the trompe.

⁷ In that tyme shal there a present be brought vnto the Lorde of hoostes: euen a people that is scatred abrode, and robbed of that they had, that same people which hath bene fearfull from theyr begynnyng hyther to: a nacyon troden downe by lytle and lytle whose lande the floudes haue spoyled: To the place of the name of the Lord of hoostes, euen to the mount Syon.

¹⁵ Wherfore, prayse ye the lord in the valleys, euen the name of the lord God of Israel in the Iles of the see ¹⁶ From the vttemost parte of the earth haue we heard prayses and myrth because of the ryghteous. And I sayd: I knowe a thyng in secrete, I knowe a thyng in secrete, wo is me, the transgressours haue offended, the transgressours haue greuously offended.

²⁴ They also that haue bene of an erronyouse sprete, shall come to vnderstandyng: and they that haue bene scornefull, shall learne doctryne.

⁴ not be pensyue nor carefull, that he maye restore ryghteousnes vnto the earth, and the Gentyles also shal kepe his lawes.

⁶ I wyll saye to the North, lett go. And to the South, kepe not backe: but bring me my sonnes from farre, and my daughters from the endes of the worlde.

¹ Ye yles, herken vnto me, & take heede ye people from farre. The Lorde hath called me fro my birth, and made mencyon of my name fro my mothers wombe:

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.

²² And therfore thus sayth the Lorde God: Behold, I wyll stretch out myne hande to the Gentyls, and set vp my token to the people. They shall bring the thy sonnes in their lappes: and carye thy daughters vnto the vpon their shoulders.

⁵ It is hard by, that my health & my righteousnes shall go forth, and the people shalbe ordred with myne arme. The ylandes, that is the Gentils, shall hope in me, and put their trust in myne arme.

¹⁵ Euen so shall the multitude of the Gentyles loke vnto hym, & kynges shall shut their mouthes before him. For they that haue not bene tolde of him, shall se hym, & they that herde nothynge of hym, shall beholde him.

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

⁹ The Iles also shall wayte for me, & specially the shyppes of Tharsis: that they maye brynge thy sonnes from farre, & theyr syluer & their golde with them, vnto the name of the Lorde thy God, vnto the holy one of Israel, that hath glorifyed the.

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.

¹ They seke me, that hytherto haue not asked for me: they fynde me, that hyther to haue not sought me. I haue sayde I am here, I am here. I am founde of a people that neuer called vpon my name.

¹⁰ The Perses, Lydians and phutens were in thyne host, & helped the to fyght: these hanged vp theyr shyldes & helmettes with the, these sett forth they bewty.

¹³ Iauan, Tubal, and Mesech were thy marchauntes, which brought the men, and ornamentes of metall for thy occupienge.

⁵ the Moryans lande shall be afrayed, yee, the Moryans lande, Libia and Lidia, all theyr comen people, and Chub, and all that be confederat vnto them, shall fall with them thorow the swearde.

² Thou sonne of man, turne thy face towarde Gog the lande of Magog which is the chefe prince at Mesech and Tubal: prophecy agaynst hym, ³ & saye. Thus sayeth the Lord God. O Gog thou chefe prince of Mesech and Tubal: beholde, I will vpon the,

¹ Therfore, O thou sonne of man, prophecie agaynst Gog, and speake. Thus sayeth the Lorde God: Beholde O Gog: thou chefe prince at Mesech and Tubal, I wyll vpon the,

¹¹ The Lord shall be grymme vpon them, & destroye all the goddes in the lande. And all the Iles of the Heathen shall worshippe him, euery man in his place.

¹¹ If ye then (whan ye are euell) can geue youre children good gyftes, how moch more shall your father which is in heauen, geue good thynges, yf ye aske of hym? ¹² Therfore, whatsoeuer ye wolde that men shulde do to you: do ye euen so to them also. For this is the lawe and the prophetes?

¹⁹ Go ye therfore, & teach all nacions, baptising them in the name of the father, & of the sonne, & of the holy goost:

¹⁵ And he sayde vnto them: Goo ye into al the worlde, and preache the gospell to all creatures,

³⁴ And Simeon blessed them, and sayde vnto Mary his mother: beholde, this chyld is sett to be the fall and vprising agayne of many in Israel, & for a sygne which is spoken agaynst.

¹ I saye then: hath God cast awaye hys people? God forbyd. For euen I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the trybe of Beniamin, ² God hath not cast awaye his people, which he knewe before. Wote ye not, what the scripture sayth of Helias, how he maketh intercession to God agaynst Israell, saying: ³ Lorde, they haue kylled thy Prophetes, and dygged downe thyne alters: and I am lefte alone, and they seke my lyfe. ⁴ But what sayth the answere of God vnto hym? I haue reserued vnto my selfe seuen thousande men, which haue not bowed the knee to the ymage of Ball. ⁵ Euen so also at thys tyme is ther a remanaunt lefte accordynge to the eleccyon of grace. ⁶ If it be of grace, then is it not now of workes. For then grace is nomore grace. But If it be of workes, then is it now no grace. For then were deseruynge nomore deseruynge.

²¹ but as it is written. To whom he was not spoken of, they shall se: & they that hearde not, shall vnderstande.

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 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.

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. ¹³ Reioyse ye heauens: & synge prayses, thou earth. Talke of ioye ye hylles, for God hath conforted hys people, and wyll haue mercye vpon his that be in trouble. ¹⁴ But Sion sayde: God hath forsaken, & my Lorde hath forgotten me. ¹⁵ Wyll a wyfe forget the childe of her wombe, and not pitie the sonne whom she hath borne? And though, they do forget, yet will not I forget the. ¹⁶ Beholde, I haue written the vp vpon my handes, thy walles are euer in my syght. ¹⁷ They make hast to buylde the vp agayne. As for those that ouerthrowe the, and made the wast, they shall departe from the. ¹⁸ Lyft vp thyne eyes, and loke about the: all these gather them together, & come to the. As truly as I lyue (sayth the Lord) thou shalt put them all vpon the, as an apparell, & gyrde them to the as a bryd doth her iewels. ¹⁹ As for thy land that lyeth desolate wasted and destroyed: it shalbe to narowe for them that shall dwell in it. And they that wolde deuoure the, they shalbe farre awaye. ²⁰ Then the childe whom the baren shall bringe forth vnto the, shall saye in thyne care: thys place is to narowe, gyue place that I maye haue rowme. ²¹ Then shalt thou thynke by thy selfe: Who hath begotten me these? seinge I am baren and alone, a captyue and an out cast? And who hath noryshed them vp for me? I am desolate and alone, but from whence come these? ²² And therfore thus sayth the Lorde God: Behold, I wyll stretch out myne hande to the Gentyls, and set vp my token to the people. They shall bring the thy sonnes in their lappes: and carye thy daughters vnto the vpon their shoulders. ²³ For kinges shalbe thy nursyng fathers, and quenes shalbe thy nursing mothers. They shall fall before the wt theyr faces flatt vpon the earth: and lycke vp the dust of thy fete: that thou mayst knowe how that I am the Lorde. And who so putteth his trust in me, shall not be confounded. ²⁴ Who spoyled the gyaunte of his praye? or who taketh the presoner from the mightye? ²⁵ And therfore, thus sayeth the Lorde. The prisoners shalbe taken from the gyaunte, and the spoyle delyuered from the violente: for I wyll maynteyne thy cause agaynst thyne aduersaryes, and saue thy sonnes. ²⁶ And wyll fede thyne enemyes with theyr awne fleshe, and make them drynke of their awne bloude, as of swete wyne. And all flessh shall knowe, O Iacob, that I am the Lorde thy sauiour, thy noble redemer.

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.

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.

³ The Gentiles shall come to thy lyght, and kynges to the bryghtnes that spryngeth forth vpon the.

¹¹ But as for you, ye are they that haue forsaken the Lord, and forgotten my holy hill. Ye haue set vp an aulter vnto Iuppiter, & geuen rych dryncke offerynges vnto the planettes.

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.

¹ I beseche you therfore brethren, by the mercyfulnes of God, that ye make yor bodies a quycke sacryfice, holy & acceptable vnto God: which is youre resonable seruynge of God ² & fassyon not youre selues lyke vnto this worlde: but be ye chaunged in youre shape, by the renuyng of your mynde, that ye maye proue what thynge that good, and acceptable, and perfaycte wyll of God is.

¹⁶ that I shuld be the minister of Iesu Christ amonge the Gentyls, & shuld minyster the Gospell of God, that the offeryng of the gentyls myght be acceptable, & sanctified by the holy ghost.

¹⁷ Yee and though I be offered vp vpon the offeringe & sacrifyce of youre fayth: I reioyce and reioyce with you all.

⁵ & ye as lyuinge stones, are made a spretuall house an holy presthode, for to offer vp spretual sacrifyces, acceptable to God by Iesus Christ.

⁶ Ye shall be vnto me also a kyngdome of preastes and an holy people: and these are the wordes which thou shalt saye vnto the chyldren of Israel.

¹⁸ Tell the kynge & the quene: Humble youre selues, sett you downe lowe, for your dignytye shall be throwne downe & the crowne of your glory shall fall from youre head. ¹⁹ The cyties towarde the south shalbe shut vp, & no man shall open them. All Iuda shallbe caryed awaye captyue, so that none shall remayne. ²⁰ Lyft vp your eyes, & beholde them that come from the North wher is the flocke (o thou lande) that was gyuen the. And wher are thy fatt & ryche sheape. ²¹ To whom wylt thou make thy mone, when the ennemy shall come vpon the? for thou hast taught them thy selfe, & made them masters ouer the. Shall not sorowe come vpon the, as on a woman trauayllyng wt child? ²² And yf thou woldest saye them in thyne herte. Wherfore come these thynges vpon me? Euen for the multytude of thy blasphemyes, shal thy hynder partes & thy fete be discouered.

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,

⁶ & made vs kynges and Prestes vnto God his father, be glory and dominion for euermore. Amen.

¹⁰ and hast made vs vnto oure God, kynges, and prestes, & we shall raygne on the erth.

⁶ Blessed and holy is he, that hath parte in the first resurreccion. For on such shall the seconde deeth haue no power, but they shalbe the Prestes of God & of Christ, and shall raygne wyth hym a thousande yere.

¹⁷ For lo, I shall make a newe heauen, and a newe earth. And as for the olde, they shall neuer be thought vpon, ner kepte in mynde:

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.

²⁷ my shepe heare my voyce: and I knowe them, & they folowe me, ²⁸ and I geue vnto them eternall lyfe, and they shall neuer perissh, nether shall eny man plucke them oute of my hande. ²⁹ My father which gaue them me, is greater then all, and no man is able to take them oute of my fathers hand.

²⁶ whose voyce then shoke the erth, and now hath declared sayinge: yet once more will I shake, not the erth onely, but also heauen. ²⁷ Where as he sayth: yet once more, it signifyeth the remouyng awaye of those thynges which are shaken as of thinges which haue ended their course: that the thynges which are not shaken, maye remayne. 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.

⁴ to an inherytaunce immortall and vndefyled, and that perissheth not, reserued in heauen for you, ⁵ whych are kept by the power of of God thorow fayth, vnto saluacion, whych is prepared allready to be shewed in the last tyme,

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

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.

²³ And he sayde: wherfore wylt thou go to him seinge that to daye is nether newe mone nor Saboth daye. She answered: For health.

² Thou that hearest the prayer: vnto the shall all flesh come.

³ Blowe vp the trompett in the newe mone, euen in the tyme appoynted, and vpon oure solempne feast daye ⁴ For this was made a statute for Israel, & a lawe of the God of Iacob.

¹³ Therfore offre me no mo oblacions, for it is but lost laboure. Incense is an abhominable thinge vnto me. I Maye not awaye with youre newe moones, your Sabbathes & gatheringe togyther at the solempne dayes. ¹⁴ I hate your newe mone dayes & solempne feastes, euen fro my very hert. I can not awaye wt suche vanitie & holdinge in of the people.

²¹ And the Lord shalbe knowne in Egipte, and the Egypcians shall knowe the Lord in that daye, and do sacrifice and oblation: yee they shall vowe a vowe vnto the Lord, and perfourme it.

¹ Thus saith the Lorde God: the dore of the innermer court towarde the east shalbe shut the .vj. worcking dayes: but in the sabboth and in the daye of the newe moone, it shalbe opened.

⁶ In the daye of the newe moneth, it shalbe a yonge bullocke without blemish, syxe lambes and a ram also without blemish.

²⁰ Thus sayeth the Lord of hoostes. There shall yet come people, and the inhabiters of many cytyes, ²¹ & they that dwell in one cyte shal go to another, sayeng. Up, let vs go, & praye before the Lorde, let vs seke the Lorde of hoostes, I wyll go wt you: ²² yee, moch people & myghtye Heathen shal come & seke the Lord of hoostes at Ierusalem, and to praye before the Lord. ²³ Thus sayeth the Lord of hoostes. In that tyme shall ten men (out of all maner of languages of the Gentyles) take one Iewe by the hemme of hys garment, & saye: we wyll go wt you, for we haue herde, that God is amonge you.

¹⁴ Iuda shall fyght also against Ierusalem, & the goodes of all the Heathen shalbe gathered together round aboute: golde & syluer & a very great multitude of clothes.

¹⁶ Euery one that remayneth then of all the people, which cam agaynst Ierusalem, shall go vp yerly, to worshyppe the kynge (euen the Lorde of hostes) and to kepe the feast of tabernacles.

²³ But the houre commeth & now is, when the true worshyppers shall worshyppe the father in sprete, & in the treuth. For such the father also requyreth to worshyppe hym.

¹⁶ Let no man therfore trouble youre consience aboute meate and dryncke or for a pece of an holy daye, or of the newe mone, or of the Sabboth dayes, ¹⁷ which are shaddowes of thinges to come: but the body is in Chryst.

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.

¹⁰ The ryghteous shall reioyse when he seyth the vengeaunce: he shal wash hys fote stepes in the bloude of the vngodly. ¹¹ So that a man shall saye: verely there is a rewarde for the ryghteous: doutles, there is a God that iudgeth in the earth.

³¹ And as for the glory of your graued Images, it shalbe turned to drye strawe, and he that made them to a sparke. And they shal both burne together, so that no man shalbe able to quench them.

¹¹ Thy pompe and thy pryde is layde downe into the pyt, and so is the melody of thy instrumentes. Wormes be layde vnder the, & wormes are thy couerynge.

¹⁰ so that it shall not be quenched daye ner nyght: but smoke euermore, and so forth to lye waste. And no man shall go thorowe it for euer.

¹⁵ Youre name shall you leaue accursed amonge my chosen, for God the Lorde shall slaye you, and call his seruauntes by another name.

¹⁶ For the Lorde shall iudge all flesh wyth the fyre and with his swerde, and there shalbe a greate nombre slayne of the Lorde.

⁹ They that dwel in the cities of Israell, shall go forth and set fyre vpon the weapens, and burne them: shyldes and speres, bowes and arowes, bylles & clubbes: seuen yeares shal they be burnynge therof, ¹⁰ so that they shal els bringe no stickes from the felde, nether haue nede to hewe downe eny out of the wodde. For they shal haue weapens ynowe to burne. They shal robbe those that robbed them, & spoyle those that spoyled them sayeth the Lord God. ¹¹ At the same tyme wil I geue vnto God, a place to be buried in Israel, euen the valley, where thorow men go from the east to the see warde. Those that trauayle therby, shall stoppe ther noses for stenche. There shall Gog & all hys people be buried: and it shalbe called the valley of the people of God. ¹² Seuen monethes longe shall the house of Israell be buryenge of them that they maye clense the lande. ¹³ Yee, all the people of the lande shall burie them. O, it shall be a glorious daye, when I gett me that honoure, saieth the Lord God. ¹⁴ They shal ordeyne men also to be deed buriers, euer goynge thorow the lande, & appoynte them certayne places to bury those in, which remayne vpon the felde, that the lande maye be clensed. From ende to ende shall they seke, & that seuen monethes longe. ¹⁵ Now those that go thorow the lande, where they se a mans bone, they shalt set vp a token by it, tyll the deed buryers haue buried it also, in the valley of the people of Gog. ¹⁶ And the name of the citie shalbe called, hamonah (that is a multitude.) Thus shall they make the lande clene.

² Many of them that slepe in the dust of the earth, shall awake: some to the euerlastynge lyfe, some to perpetuall shame & reprofe.

¹² This shalbe the plage, wherwith the Lorde will smyte all pleople, that haue fought agaynst Ierusalem. Namely, their flesh shall cosume awaye, though they stande vpon their fete, their eyes shalbe corrupt in their holes and their tunge shal consume in their mouth.

¹⁸ Yf the kynred of Egypte go not vp, & come not, it shall not rayne vpon them nether. This shalbe the plage wher wt the Lorde wil smyte all the Heathen, that come not vp to kepe the feast of tabernacles: ¹⁹ yee, this shalbe the synne plage of Egipt & the sinne plage of al people that go not vp to kepe the feast of tabernacles.

¹² whose fan is in hys hand, & he wyll purge hys floore, & gather his wheat into the barne, but wyll burne the chaffe wt vnquencheable fyre.

⁴³ Wherfore yf thy hande hynder the, cut it of. It is beter for the, to entre into lyfe maymed, then (hauynge two handes) to go into hell, into fyre that neuer shalbe quenched, ⁴⁴ where theyr worme dyeth not, and the fyre goeth not out. ⁴⁵ And yf thy fote be a hynderaunce vnto the, cut it of. It is better for the to go halt into lyfe, then (hauynge two fete) to be cast into hell, into fyre that neuer shalbe quenched: ⁴⁶ where theyr worme dyeth not, and the fyre goeth not out. ⁴⁷ And yf thyne eye hinder the plucke it out. It is better for the to go into the kyngedome of God wyth one eye, then (hauynge two eyes) to be cast into hell fyre: ⁴⁸ where theyr worme dyeth not, and the fyre goeth not out. ⁴⁹ Euery man shalbe salted wyth fyre. And euery sacrifyce shalbe seasoned with salt.

¹⁰ the same shall drincke the wyne of the wrath of God, which is powred in the cup of his wrath. And he shalbe punysshed in fyre & brymstone, before the holy angels, & before the lambe. ¹¹ And the smoke of theyr torment ascendeth vp euermore. And they haue no rest daye nor night, which worshyppe the beast & his ymage & whosoeuer receaueth the prynt of his name.

⁸ But the fearfull and vnbeleuynge, and the abhominable, and murdrers, & whormongers, and sorcerers, and ydolaters, and all lyars shall haue theyr parte in the lake which burnyth with fyre and brymstone, which is the seconde death.
