¹⁴ Beholde, in myne aduersyte haue I also prepared for the house of the Lord, an hundred thousande talentes of golde, & a thousande thousande talentes of syluer, & as for brasse & yron it cannot be nombred, for it is very moche. And I haue prepared tymbre and stone, and thou mayest prouide more therto.

²² Loke what lyeth hyd in darcknes, he declareth it openly: and the very shadowe of death bryngeth he to lyght.

¹⁶ Camest thou euer into the grounde of the see: or walkedest in the lowe corners of the depe? ¹⁷ Haue the gates of deeth bene opened vnto the, or hast thou sene the dores of the shadowe of death?

⁴ yf thou sekest after her as after money, and dyggest for her as for treasure,

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.

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.

¹⁴ He bryngeth forth grasse for the cattell, and grene herbe for the seruice of men: ¹⁵ that he maye brynge fode out of the earth: and wyne that maketh glad the herte of man, and oyle to make him a chearfull countenaunce, and bred to strength mans herte.

²⁵ Whan he hath made it playn, will he not spred abrode the fitches, and sowe comyn, & cast in whete by measure, & the appoynted barlye and rye in their place? ²⁶ God will instructe hym to haue discretion, euen his God wyll teach hym. ²⁷ For fitches shall not be tresshed with an harowe: nether shall a carte whele be brought thorowe the comyn: but the fitches are beaten out with a stafe, and comyn wt a rodd. ²⁸ But the seede that bread is made of, is tresshed, though it be not alwaye a thresshing. And the carte whele must be brought ouer it, lest he grynde it with his teth. ²⁹ This also commeth of the Lorde of hoostes, which worcketh wt wonderfull wysdome, and bringeth excellent workes to passe.

¹³ Thou hast bene in the pleasaunt garden of God: thou art deckte with al maner of precious stones: with Ruby, Topas, Crystall, Iacynte, Onix, Iaspis, Saphyr, Smaragde, Carbouncle, and golde. Thy bewty and the holes that be in the, were sett forth in the daye of thy creacyon. ¹⁴ Thou art a fayre Cherub exalted by the anoyntyng, stretched wyde out for to couer.

¹⁴ His handes are lyke gold rynges hauinge enclosed the precyous stone of Tharsis. His body is as the pure yuery, decte ouer with Saphires:

¹¹ Beholde thou pore, ouerwhelmed with tempest & wythout comforte. I will make thy walles of precyous stones, & thy foundacyon of Saphyres,

¹⁹ and the foundacions of the wall of the cytie were garnisshed with al maner of precious stones. The fyrst foundacion was Iaspis, the seconde Saphyre, the thyrde a Calcedony, the fourth an Emeralde,

⁶ that he myght shewe the (out of his secrete wysdome) why he rewardeth the double as he was appoynted to do: then shuldest thou knowe, that God had forgotten the because of thy synne.

²¹ She is hid from the eyes of all men liuinge, yee, and from the foules of the ayre. ²² Destruccion and death saye: we haue herde tell of her with oure eares. ²³ But God seeth her waye, and knoweth her place.

¹⁹ then shew me, where lyght dwelleth, and where darcknes is:

²⁴ By what waye is the lyght parted, and into what lande breaketh the east wynde:

³³ O the depnes of the ryches both of the wysdome and knowledge of God: how vnsercheable are his iudgementes, & his wayes past fyndynge out;

⁴ When he reproueth the see, he dryeth it vp, & turneth all the floudes to drie lande Basan is desolate, Charmel & the pleasure of Lybanus wasteth awaye. ⁵ The mountaynes tremble for him, the hylles consume. At the sight of him, the earth quaketh: yee, the whole world, and all that dwell therin. ⁶ Who maye endure before hys wrath? Or who is able to abide his gryme displeasure? His anger taketh on lyke fyre, and the harde rockes are clouen in sunder before him.

²³ In euery laboure there is some profecte. But only lippe laboure, bringeth forth penurye.

⁴ Thorow discrecion shalt the chambers be fylled with all costly and pleasaunt ryches.

⁹ Thou shewedst thy bowe openly, lyke as thou haddest promysed wt an othe vnto the trybes. Selah. Thou dydest deuyde the waters of the earth.

⁸ He byndeth the waters in his cloudes, and the cloude is not broken vnder them.

²⁵ If there be no water, I wyll graue and drinke. And as for waters of defence, I shall drye them vp with the fete of myne hoost.

²⁷ He sayeth to the grounde: be drye. And I will drye vp thy wader floudes.

² I will go before the, and make the croked streyght, I shall breake the brasen dores, & burst the yron barres. ³ I shall geue the the hyd treasures, & the thynge which is secretly kept: that thou mayest knowe that I am the Lorde God of Israel which haue called the by thy name:

⁵ Therfore iudge nothinge before the tyme vntyll the Lorde come, whych wyll lyghten thinges that are hyd in darcknes, and open the counsels of the hertes. And then shall euery man haue prayse of God.

⁹ Geue therfore vnto thy seruaunt an vnderstandynge hert, to iudge thy people, that I maye decerne betwene good and bad. For who is able to iudge thys, thy so myghtye a people?

²⁰ From whence then commeth wisdome? and where is the place of vnderstandinge?

²⁸ And vnto man he sayde: Beholde, to feare the Lorde, is wysdome: and to for sake euell. is vnderstandinge.

⁶ But lo, thou requirest treuth in the inward partes, and shalt make me to vnderstonde wysdome secretly.

⁴ yf thou sekest after her as after money, and dyggest for her as for treasure, ⁵ then shalt thou vnderstande the feare of the Lorde, and fynde the knowledge of God. ⁶ For it is the Lorde that geueth wisdome, out of his mouth commeth knowledge and vnderstandynge.

¹⁹ With wysdome hath the Lorde layed the foundacion of the erth: and thorowe vnderstandinge hath he stablyshed the heauens.

²³ All these thinges haue I proued in wysdome: for I thought to be wyse but she went farther fro me then she was before, ²⁴ yee & so depe that I might not reach vnto her. ²⁵ I applyed my mynde also vnto knowledge, & to seke & searche oute science, wysdome & vnderstanding: to knowe the foolyshnesse of the vngodly, & the errour of dotinge fooles.

¹⁹ For it is wrytten: I will destroye the wysdome of the wyse, and wyll cast awaye the vnderstandynge of the prudent. ²⁰ Where is the wyse? Where is the scrybe? Where is the disputer of this worlde?

³ in whom are hyd all the treasures of wysdome and knowledge.

⁵ If eny of you lacke wysdome, let hym aske of him that geueth it: euen God, which geueth to all men indifferentlye, and casteth no man in the teeth: and it shalbe geuen him.

¹⁷ Euery good gyfte, and euery parfayt gyft, is from aboue, and commeth downe from the father of lyghtes wt whome is no variablenes, nether is he chaunged vnto darcknes.

¹⁵ She can not be gottten for golde, nether maye the pryce of her be bought with eny syluer. ¹⁶ No wedges of golde of Ophir, no precions Onix stones, no Saphirs maye be compared vnto her. ¹⁷ No, nether golde ner Christall, nether swete odours ner golden plate. ¹⁸ There is nothinge so worthy, or so excellent, as once to be named vnto her: for perfecte wysdome goeth farre beyonde them all, ¹⁹ The Topas that commeth out of Inde, maye in no wyse be likened vnto her: yee, no maner of apparell howe pleasaunt and fayre soeuer it be.

²¹ She is hid from the eyes of all men liuinge, yee, and from the foules of the ayre. ²² Destruccion and death saye: we haue herde tell of her with oure eares.

¹⁰ More to be desyred are they then golde, yee then moche fyne golde: sweter also then hony, and the hony combe.

⁵ Thou hast loued to speake all wordes that maye do hurt, O thou false tonge.

⁷² The lawe of thy mouth is dearer vnto me, then thousandes of golde and syluer.

¹⁴ for the getting of it is better then any marchaundise of syluer, and the profet of it is better then golde. ¹⁵ Wysdome is more worth then precious stones: and all the thinges that thou canst desire are not to be compared vnto her.

¹¹ For wysdome is more worth then precious stones, yee all thynges that thou canst desyre, maye not be compared vnto it.

¹⁸ Ryches and honoure are with me, ye excellent goodes and ryghteousnes. ¹⁹ My frute is better then golde and precious stone, and myne encrease more worth then fyne syluer.

¹⁶ To haue wysdome in possessyon is better then to haue golde: and to get vnderstandynge, is rather to be chosen them to haue syluer.

²³ Labour for to get the trueth: sell yt not awaye, & so do by wysdome, nourtour & vnderstandyng:

¹⁶ And so I applied my mynde to learne wysdome, & to knowe the trauayle that is in the worlde (and that of soch a fassyon, that I suffred not myne eyes to slepe nether daye ner nyght) ¹⁷ I vnderstode of all the workes of God, but it is not possible for a man, to attayne vnto the workes that are done vnder the Sunne: and though he bestowe his laboure to seke them out, yet can he not reach vnto them: yee though a wyse man wolde vntertake to knowe them, yet shall he not fynde them.

¹¹ I spake within my selfe: I shall neuer viset the Lorde (the Lord I saye) in thys lyfe. I shal neuer se man among the dwellers of the worlde.

⁸ He was had awaye from preson hys cause not herde, and wythout eny iudgement: Whose generacyon yet who maye nombre? he was cut of from the grounde of the lyuynge: Whych punyshment dyd go vpon hym, for the transgressyon of my people, whych in deade had deserued that punyshment,

⁴⁴ Agayne, the kyngdom of heauen is lyke vnto treasure hid in the felde, the which a man hath found and hydd: and for ioye therof goeth & selleth all that he hath, & byeth the felde. ⁴⁵ Agayne, the kyngdome of heauen is lyke vnto a marchaunt man, sekyng goodly pearles, ⁴⁶ which (when he found one precious pearle) went & solde all that he had, & bought it.

³³ O the depnes of the ryches both of the wysdome and knowledge of God: how vnsercheable are his iudgementes, & his wayes past fyndynge out; ³⁴ For who hath knowen the mynde of the Lorde? Or who hath bene hys counseller?

¹⁸ There is nothinge so worthy, or so excellent, as once to be named vnto her: for perfecte wysdome goeth farre beyonde them all,

¹³ Well is him that findeth wysdome, and opteyneth vnderstandinge:

¹⁰ Receaue my doctryne, and not syluer: and my knowledge, more then fyne golde. ¹¹ For wysdome is more worth then precious stones, yee all thynges that thou canst desyre, maye not be compared vnto it.

¹⁷ I am louynge vnto those that loue me: and they that seke me early shall fynde me.

¹⁹ My frute is better then golde and precious stone, and myne encrease more worth then fyne syluer.

²⁰ in the fourth a Turcas, Onix and Iaspis. And they shall be set in golde in their inclosers.

⁴ I haue of myne owne propre good, of golde and syluer whych I haue seuerally geuen to the house of my God, besyde all that I haue prepared for the holy house: euen thre thousande talentes of golde of Ophir, and seuen thousande talentes of tryed syluer: to ouerlaye the walles of the houses withall:

⁹ All thy garmentes smell of myrre, Aloes and Cassia, out of the yuerye palaces, wher by they haue made the glad.

¹² I will make a man dearer then fyne golde, and a man to be more worth then a golden wedge of Ophir.

¹³ Thou hast bene in the pleasaunt garden of God: thou art deckte with al maner of precious stones: with Ruby, Topas, Crystall, Iacynte, Onix, Iaspis, Saphyr, Smaragde, Carbouncle, and golde. Thy bewty and the holes that be in the, were sett forth in the daye of thy creacyon.

²² Aboue, ouer the heades of the beastes there was a fyrmament, which was fashyoned as it had bene of the most pure Christall, and that was spred oute aboue vpon theyr heades:

⁶ And before the seate ther was a see of glasse, lyke vnto Cristal, and in the myddes of the seate, & rounde about the seate were foure beastes full of eyes before & behynde.

¹¹ hauyng the bryghtnes of God. And her shynynge was lyke vnto a stone moste precious, euen lyke a Iasper cleare as Cristall:

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.

¹⁵ Wysdome is more worth then precious stones: and all the thinges that thou canst desire are not to be compared vnto her.

¹⁰ Who so fyndeth an honest faythfull woman, she is moch more worth then perles.

⁷ Her absteyners (or Nazarees) were whyter then the snowe or mylke: theyr coloure was fresshe, reade as Corall, theyr bewtye lyke the Saphyre.

¹⁶ The Sirians occupied with the, because of thy diuerse worckes, and increased thy marchaundies, with Smaragdes, with scarlet, with nedle worcke, with whyte lynen cloth, with sylcke, and with crystall.

⁶ Geue not ye that whych hys holy vnto dogges, nether cast ye youre pearles before swyne, lest they treade them vnder their fete & the other turne against you, & al to rent you.

⁹ Lykewise also the wemen, that they araye them selues in comlye apparell wyth shamfastnes and discrete behaueour, not wt broyded heare, ether golde or pearles, or costly araye:

⁴ And the woman was arayed in purple and rose coloure, and decked wyth golde, precious stone, and pearles, and had a cup of golde in her hande, full of abhominacions and fylthynes of her fornicacion.

¹² the ware of gold and siluer, & precious stones, nether of pearle, and raynes, and purple, and skarlet, and all thynne wodde, and all maner vessels of yuery, & all maner vessels of most precious wodde, & of brasse & yron,

²¹ The twelue gates were twelue pearles, euery gate was of one pearle, and the strete of the cytie was pure golde, as thorow shynynge glasse.

¹⁷ And thou shalt fill it with foure rowes of stones. In the first rowe shalbe a Sardions, a Topas, and Smaragdus:

¹⁰ And they fylled it with .iiii. rowes of stones. The fyrst rowe: a Sardios, a Topas and Smaragdus:

²⁰ the fyft Sardonix, the syxte Sardeos, the seuenth Crysolite, the eyght Berall, the .ix. a Topas, the tenth a Crusoprasos, the eleuenth a Iacynte, the twelueth an Amathist.

¹² How commeth a man then by wysdome? Where is the place that men fynde vnderstanding?

²³ But God seeth her waye, and knoweth her place.

⁶ For it is the Lorde that geueth wisdome, out of his mouth commeth knowledge and vnderstandynge.

²³ All these thinges haue I proued in wysdome: for I thought to be wyse but she went farther fro me then she was before, ²⁴ yee & so depe that I might not reach vnto her.

⁶ We speake of wysdome amonge them that are perfecte: not the wysdome of this world, nether of the rulars of this worlde (whych go to nought) ⁷ but we speake the wysdome of God, whych is in secrete & lyeth hyd, which God ordeyned before the worlde, vnto oure glory: ⁸ which wysdome none of the rulars of this worlde knewe. For had they had knowlege, they wold not haue crucifyed the Lorde of glory. 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. ¹¹ For what man knoweth the thinges of a man: saue the sprete of man which is wt in him? Euen so the thynges of God knoweth no man, but the sprete of God. ¹² And we haue not receaued the sprete of the worlde: but the sprete which commeth of God, for to knowe the thynges that are geuen to vs of God: ¹³ which thynges also we speake (not wt wordes that mannes wysdome teacheth, but wt wordes whych the holy ghost doth teache) makyng spirituall comparisons of spretuall thinges. ¹⁴ The naturall man perceaueth not the thinges that belonge to the sprete of God. For they are but folyshnes vnto him. Nether can he perceaue them, because they are spretually examined. ¹⁵ But he that is spretual, discusseth all thynges: yet he him selfe is iudged of no man.

³ My mouth shall speake of wysdome, and my hert shall muse of vnderstandyng. ⁴ I wyll enclyne myne eare to the parable, and shew my darcke speach vpon the harpe.

²⁵ At that tyme Iesus answered and sayde: I thanke the O father, Lord of heauen & erth, because thou hast hid these thinges from the wyse and prudent, and hast shewed them vnto babes,

¹⁷ Uerely I saye vnto you, that many prophetes & righteous men haue desyred to se those thinges which ye se, & haue not sene them: & to heare those thinges which ye heare, and haue not hearde them.

³⁵ that it myght be fulfylled, which was spoken by the prophet, that sayth I will open my mouth in parables: I wyll speake forth thynges which haue bene kepte secrete from the begynning of the world.

⁷ but we speake the wysdome of God, whych is in secrete & lyeth hyd, which God ordeyned before the worlde, vnto oure glory: ⁸ which wysdome none of the rulars of this worlde knewe. For had they had knowlege, they wold not haue crucifyed the Lorde of glory. 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.

⁶ Hell is naked before him, and the very destruccion it selfe cannot be hyd out of his syght.

¹⁴ The depe saieth: she is not with me. The see saieth: she is not with me

¹⁰ Whych peryshed at Endor, and became as the donge of the earth. ¹¹ Make them & their prynces lyke Oreb and Zeb. Yee, make all their Prynces lyke as Zebea and Salinana. ¹² Whych saye: let vs take to oure selues the houses of God in possessyon.

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

⁵ Greate is oure Lorde, and greate is hys power: yee hys wysdome is infynite.

¹⁴ I can geue councell, and I conferre thinges: I haue vnderstanding, I haue strength.

²² The Lorde him selfe had me in possessyon in the begynnynge of his wayes, or euer he beganne his worckes a fore tyme. ²³ I haue bene ordened from euerlastynge, and from the begynnynge or euer the earth was made. ²⁴ When I was borne, there were nether depthes nor sprynges of water. ²⁵ Before the foundacyons of the mountaynes were layed, yee before all hylles was I borne. ²⁶ The earth and all that is vpon the earth was not yet made, no not the grounde it selfe. ²⁷ For when he made the heauens, I was present: when he sett vp the depthes in ordre, ²⁸ when he hanged the cloudes aboue: when he fastened the sprynges of the depe: ²⁹ When he shut the see within certayne bowndes, that the waters shulde not go ouer their marckes that he commaunded. When he layed the foundacyons of the earth ³⁰ I was with him, ordrynge all thynges: delytinge dayly, and reioysynge all waye before him. ³¹ As for the rounde compase of thys worlde, I make it ioyfull: for my delyte is to be amonge the chyldren of men.

²⁷ All thinges are geuen ouer vnto me of my father. And noman knoweth the sonne but the father: nether knoweth eny man the father, saue the sonne, and he to whomsoeuer the sonne will open him.

²¹ That same houre reioysed Iesus in ghost, and sayd: I thanke the, O father. Lorde of heauen and earth, that thou hast hyd these thinges from the wyse and prudent, and hast opened them vnto babes. Euen so father, for so pleased it the. ²² All thinges are geuen me of my father. No man knoweth who the sonne is, but the father: and who the father is, but the sonne, & he to whom the sonne wyll shewe hym.

¹⁸ knowen vnto God are all hys workes from the begynning of the world.

³⁰ And of hym are ye, in Chryst Iesu, whych of God is made vnto vs, wysdome, & rightwesnes, and sanctifyinge, and redempcyon.

²⁵ to God oure sauyour: which onely is wyse be glory, maiestye, dominion, and power, now and euer. Amen.

⁹ For the eyes of the Lorde beholde all the erth, to strength them that are of perfecte hert towarde him. Herin thou hast done folyshly, and therfore from hensforth thou shalt haue warre.

¹³ The Lorde loked downe from heauen, and behelde all the chyldren of men: ¹⁴ from the habitacyon of his dwellynge, he consydreth all them that dwell in the erth.

³ The eyes of the Lord loke on euery place, beholdyng both the good & badd

¹⁰ For he that hath bene dispysed a lytle ceason, shall reioyce, when he seeth the tynne weyght in Zorobabels hande. The .vii. eyes are the Lordes whych go thorow the whole world.

⁶ And I behelde, and lo, in the myddes of the seate, and of the foure bestes, and in the myddes of the elders, stode a lambe as though he had bene kylled, hauynge seuen hornes, and seuen eyes, whych are the seuen spretes of God, sent into all the worlde.

¹⁵ Behold, yf he witholde the waters, they drye vp. If he let them go, they destroye the erth.

⁷ He bringeth forth the cloudes from the endes of the worlde, & sendithe for the lyghteninges with the rayne, brynginge the wyndes out of hys treasuryes.

¹² Who hath holden the waters in hys fyst? Who hath measured heauen wt his spanne, & hath comprehended all the earth of the worlde in thre measures? Who hath weyed the mountaynes & hylles in a balaunce.

²⁶ Beholde, so greate is God, that he passeth oure knowledge, nether are we able to come to the experience of hys yeares.

³² Wyth the cloudes he hydeth the lyght, and at hys commaundement it commeth agayne.

³ He gouerneth euery thyng vnder the heauen, and his lyght reacheth vnto the ende of the worlde.

¹¹ He maketh the cloudes to do theyr labour in geuynge moystnesse, & agayne wyth his lyght he dryueth awaye the cloude.

²⁵ Who deuydeth the aboundaunce of waters into ryuers, or who maketh a waye for the lyghtenyng and thonder,

²⁷ to make the grasse growe in places where no body dwelleth, and in the wyldernes where no man remayneth?

³ It is the Lorde that commaundeth the waters: It is the glorious God that maketh the thonder: ⁴ it is the Lorde that ruleth the see. ⁵ The voyce of the Lorde is myghtie in operacion, the voyce of the Lorde is a glorious voyce. ⁶ The voyce of the Lorde breaketh the. Cedre trees: yee, the Lorde breaketh the Ceders of Libanus. ⁷ He made them also so skyppe lyke a Calfe: Libanus also, and Syrion lyke a younge vnycorne. ⁸ The voyce of the Lorde deuydeth the flames of fyre: the voyce of the Lorde, shaketh the wyldernesse, ye the Lorde shaketh the wildernesse of Cades. ⁹ The voyce of the Lorde maketh the hyndes to brynge forth younge & discouereth the thicke bushes: in his temple doth euery man speake of his honoure. ¹⁰ The Lorde sytteth aboue the water floude, & the Lorde remayneth a kynge for euer.

⁸ Fyre an hayle, snowe and vapors, wynde and storme, fulfyllyng hys worde.

²² Are there eny amonge the goddes of the Gentyles, that sende rayne or geue the showers of heauen? Or may the heuens drope rayne without thy commaundement? Dost not thou it, O Lorde our God, in whom we trust? Yee Lorde, thou dost all these thynges.

⁷ When there were but thre monethes vnto the haruest, I withelde the rayne from you: ye I rayned vpon one cytie: and not vpon another, one pece of grounde was moystured wt rayne, and the grounde that I rayned not vpon, was drye.

¹ Praye the Lorde then by tymes to geue you the latter rayne, so shal the Lorde make bright cloudes, and geue you rayne ynough for all the increase of the felde.

¹ To the chaunter, a psalme of Dauid. The heauens declare the glory of God, and the firmament sheweth his handy worcke.

²² The Lorde him selfe had me in possessyon in the begynnynge of his wayes, or euer he beganne his worckes a fore tyme. ²³ I haue bene ordened from euerlastynge, and from the begynnynge or euer the earth was made. ²⁴ When I was borne, there were nether depthes nor sprynges of water. ²⁵ Before the foundacyons of the mountaynes were layed, yee before all hylles was I borne. ²⁶ The earth and all that is vpon the earth was not yet made, no not the grounde it selfe. ²⁷ For when he made the heauens, I was present: when he sett vp the depthes in ordre, ²⁸ when he hanged the cloudes aboue: when he fastened the sprynges of the depe: ²⁹ When he shut the see within certayne bowndes, that the waters shulde not go ouer their marckes that he commaunded. When he layed the foundacyons of the earth

⁶ Kepe them therfore and do them, for that is youre wysdome & vnderstandynge in the syghte of the nacyons: that they maye heare all these ordinaunces, and saye: Surely it is a wyse and vnderstandynge people: it is a greate nacyon.

²⁹ The secrettes of the Lorde oure God are opened vnto vs, and to oure chyldren for euer, that we maye do all the wordes of thys lawe.

¹⁴ Eschue euell, & do good. seke peace and ensue it.

¹⁰ The feare of the Lorde is the begynning of wisdome, a good vnderstandyng haue all they that do therafter: the prayse of it endureth for euer.

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

⁷ Be not wyse in thyne awne conceate: but feare the Lorde, and departe from euell:

⁴ It is you, O ye men (sayeth she) whom I call: Unto (the chyldren of men) do I lyft vp my voyce. ⁵ Take hede vnto knowledge O ye ignoraunt be wyse in herte, O ye foles.

²⁶ The earth and all that is vpon the earth was not yet made, no not the grounde it selfe. ²⁷ For when he made the heauens, I was present: when he sett vp the depthes in ordre, ²⁸ when he hanged the cloudes aboue: when he fastened the sprynges of the depe: ²⁹ When he shut the see within certayne bowndes, that the waters shulde not go ouer their marckes that he commaunded. When he layed the foundacyons of the earth ³⁰ I was with him, ordrynge all thynges: delytinge dayly, and reioysynge all waye before him. ³¹ As for the rounde compase of thys worlde, I make it ioyfull: for my delyte is to be amonge the chyldren of men. ³² Therfore herken vnto me, O ye chyldren, blessed are they that kepe my wayes.

¹⁰ The feare of the Lorde is the beginnynge of wysdome, & the knowledge of holy thynges is vnderstandynge.

¹⁴ The lawe is a well of lyfe vnto the wyse, that it maye kepe hym from the snares of death:

¹⁷ The path of the ryghteous is to eschue euell: & who so loketh well to his wayes, kepeth his awne soule.

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

¹⁶ Wash you therfore, and make you cleane, put awaye your euell ententes out of my syght, cease from doynge of euell.

¹⁹ But the sure grounde of God standeth still, and hath this seale: the Lorde knoweth them that are hys. And let euery man that calleth on the name of Christ, departe from iniquite.

¹³ So can no fountayne geue bothe salt water & fresshe also. Yf eny man be wyse & endued wt knowledge amonge you, let hym shewe his workes out of good conuersacion with mekenes of wysdome. ¹⁴ But yf ye haue bytter enuyeng & stryfe in your herte, reioyce not: nether be lyars agaynst the trueth: ¹⁵ For soch wysdome descendeth not from aboue: but is erthy, naturall, & diuelisshe. ¹⁶ For wher enuyeng & strife is, there is vnstablenes, & all manner of euyll workes. ¹⁷ But the wysdome that is from aboue, is first pure, then peasable, gentle, & easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good frutes, without iudging, without simulacion:

¹¹ Let him eschue euyll, & do good: let him seke peace, and ensue it.
