³¹ Then the Iewes agayne toke vp stones, to stone hym with all.

³⁹ Agayne they went about to take hym: & he escaped out of their hande,

²⁴ But none of these thinges moue me nether is my lyfe deare vnto my selfe, that I might fulfyll my course with ioye, and the ministracyon which I haue receaued of the Lorde Iesu, to testifye the Gospell of the grace of God.

¹² When we hearde this, both we and other which were of the same place, besought him that he wolde not go vp to Ierusalem. ¹³ Then Paul answered, & sayde: what do ye wepynge & veryng myne herte? I am ready, not to be bounde onely, but also to dye at Ierusalem for the name of the Lorde Iesu.

²³ Then shalt thou walke safely in thy waye: and thy fote shall not stomble.

⁹ They shall come weping and with mercyfull pitye wyll I bring them hyther agayn. I wyll leade them to the ryuers of water in a strayght waye, where they shall not stomble. For I am Israels father, & Ephraim is my fyrst borne.

¹⁸ The pathe of the ryghtewes shyneth as the lyght, that is euer brighter and brighter vnto the perfect daye. ¹⁹ But the waye of the vngodly is as the darcknesse: they knowe nott where they fall.

¹⁴ For a wyse man hath his eyes in his head, but the foole goeth in the darkenesse: I perceaued also, that they both had one ende.

¹⁶ Honoure the Lord your God here in, or he take hys lyght from you, & or euer youre fete stomble in darcknesse at the hyll: lest when ye loke for the lyght, he turne it into the shadowe & darcknesse of death,

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

¹⁰ He that loueth his brother, abydeth in the lyght, and ther is none occasion of euyll in hym. ¹¹ He that hateth his brother, is in dercknes, & walketh in dercknes: and can not tell whyther he goeth, because that dercknes hath blynded hys eyes.

⁷ Art not thou oure God, which dydest cast out the inhabiters of thys lande before thy people Israel, and gauest it to the seede of Abraham thy louer for euer?

⁸ But thou Israel art my seruaunte: thou Iacob art electe, thou art the sede of Abraham my beloued

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

²⁴ he sayde vnto them: get you hence, for the mayde is not deed but slepeth. And they laughed him to scorne.

⁵² and graues dyd open: and many bodyes of sainctes which slept, arose,

³⁹ and went in, and sayde vnto them: why make ye this a doo, and wepe? The damosell is not deed, but slepeth.

²⁹ He that hath the bryde, is the brydegrome. But the frende of the brydegrome, whych standeth and heareth hym, reioyseth greatly because of the brydegromes voyce. This my ioye therfore is fulfilled.

²⁵ Uerely, verely, I saye vnto you the houre shall come, & nowe it is, when the deed shall heare the voyce of the sonne of God. And they that heare, shall lyue. ²⁶ For as the father hath lyfe in hym selfe, so lykewyse hath he geuen to the sonne to haue lyfe in hym selfe: ²⁷ and hath geuen him power also to iudge, because he is the sonne of man. ²⁸ Maruayle not at this: for the houre shal come, in that which, all that are in the graues, shall heare hys voyce, ²⁹ and shall come forth: they that haue done good, vnto the resurreccion of lyfe: and they that haue done euyll, vnto the resurreccion of damnacion.

¹³ Howbeit, Iesus spake of his death: but they thought, that he had spoken of the naturall slepe.

⁴³ And when he thus had spoken, he cryed wt a loud voyce: Lazarus, come forth. ⁴⁴ And he that was deed, came forth, bounde hande & fote wt graue clothes, & his face was bound with a napkin. Iesus sayd vnto them: loose him, & let him go.

¹³ Greater loue hath no man, then thys: that a man bestowe hys lyfe for his frendes. ¹⁴ Ye are my frendes, yf ye do whatsoeuer I commaunde you. ¹⁵ Hence forth call I you not seruauntes: for the seruaunt knoweth not what hys lorde doeth. But you haue I called frendes: for all thynges that I haue heard of my father, haue I opened to you.

⁶⁰ And he kneled downe & cryed with a loude voyce: Lorde, laye not thys synne to theyr charge. And when he had thus spoken, he fell a slepe.

¹⁸ Therfore they whych are fallen a slepe in Christ, are perysshed.

³⁴ Awake truely out of slepe, and synne not. For some haue not the knowledge of God: I speake this to youre shame.

⁵¹ Beholde, I shewe you a mistery. We shall not all slepe: but we shall all be chaunged,

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

¹⁴ For yf we beleue, that Iesus dyed, & rose agayne: euen so them also which slepe by Iesus, wyll God brynge agayne wt hym. ¹⁵ For thys saye we vnto you in the worde of the Lorde, that we whych shall lyue, & shall remayne in the commynge of the Lorde, shall not come yer they whych slepe.

¹⁰ whych dyed for vs: that whether we wake or slepe, we shulde lyue together wyth him.

²³ & the scripture was fulfylled, which sayth: Abraham beleued God, and it was reputed vnto hym for ryghtewesnes: & he was called the frende of God.

²⁴ Then cam the Iewes rounde about him, and sayd vnto him: Howe longe dost thou make vs doute? If thou be Christ, tell vs playnely.

²⁵ These thinges haue I spoken vnto you by prouerbes. The tyme will come, when I shal nomore speake vnto you by prouerbes: but I shall shewe you playnely from my father.

²⁹ His disciples sayd vnto him: lo, now talkest thou playnly, and speakest no prouerbe.

²⁴ And the Lorde appeared vnto hym the same nyght, and sayde: I am the God of Abraham thy father, feare not, for I am wyth the, & wyll blesse the, and multiplye thy seed for my seruaunt Abrahams sake.

⁵ And it fortuned from the tyme that he had made him rular ouer hys house and ouer all that he had, the Lorde blessed the Egyptyans house for Iosephs sake, and the blessynge of the Lorde was vpon all that he had: in the house, and in the felde.

¹⁴ He suffred no man to do them wrong, but reproued euen kynges for their sakes.

¹⁵ Beholde, the aleaunt that was farre from me, shall dwell with the: & he that ioyneth batayle agenst the shall perishe.

⁸ Moreouer, thus sayeth the Lorde: lyke as when one wolde gather holy grapes, men saye vnto hym: breake it not of for it is holy: euen so wyll I do also for my seruauntes sakes, that I wyll not destroye them all.

⁴ Whan Iesus herd that, he sayde: this infirmitie is not vnto death: but for the prayse of God, that the sonne of God myght be praysed by the reason of it.

³⁵ And Iesus wept. ³⁶ Then sayd the Iewes Behold, howe he loued hym.

³⁰ Iesus answered and sayde: this voyce came not because of me but for your sakes.

¹⁰ Beleuest thou not, that I am in the father, & the father in me? The wordes that I speake vnto you, I speake not of my self: but the father that dwelleth in me is he that doth the workes. ¹¹ Beleue me that I am in the father, & the father in me. Or els beleue me for the worckes sake.

¹⁹ & for their sakes sanctifie I my selfe, that they also myght be sanctifyed thorowe the treuth.

¹⁵ For all thynges do I for youre sakes that the plenteous grace by thanckes geuen of many, maye redounde to the prayse of God.

¹⁰ Therfore I suffre all thynges, for the electes sakes, that they myght also obtayne the saluacion, which is in Christ Iesu, with eternall glory.

¹³ These thynges haue I wrytten vnto you that beleue on the name of the sonne of God, that ye maye knowe, how that ye haue eternall lyfe, & that ye maye beleue on the name of the sonne of God.

³ Philip & Bartholomew: Thomas and Mathew, which had bene a Publican. Iames the sonne of Alphe, and Lebbeus (whose syrname was Taddeus)

³⁵ Peter sayde vnto him. Yee, though I shuld dye with the, yet will I not denye the: Like wyse also sayde all the disciples.

¹⁸ And Andrew, & Philip, and Bartholomew, and Mathew, & Thomas, and Iames the sonne of Alphe, and Thaddeus, and Symon of Canaan,

¹⁵ Mathew & Thomas, Iames the sonne of Alpheus, and Symon which is called Zelotes,

³³ And he sayde vnto hym: Lorde, I am ready to go wyth the into preson, and to deeth.

³⁷ Peter sayd vnto him: Lorde, why cannot I folowe the now: I wyl ieoparde my lyfe for thy sake?

⁵ Thomas sayth vnto him: Lord, we knowe not whither thou goest. And how is it possible for vs to knowe the waye?

²⁴ But Thomas one of the twelue (which is called Didymus) was not wt them when Iesus came. ²⁵ The other disciples therfore sayde vnto him: we haue sene the Lorde. But he sayde vnto them: except I se in hys handes the prynt of the nayles, & put my fynger in to the prynte of the nayles, & thrust my hande into his syde, I will not beleue. ²⁶ And after .viij. dayes, agayne his disciples were wt in, & Thomas wt them. Then came Iesus when the dores were shut, & stode in the myddes, and sayde: peace be vnto you. ²⁷ After that sayd he to Thomas: bringe thy fynger hether, & se my handes, & reach hyther thy hande, & thrust it into my syde, & be not faythlesse, but beleuinge. ²⁸ Thomas answered, and sayde vnto him: my Lorde, & my God: ²⁹ Iesus sayeth vnto him: Thomas, because thou hast sene me, thou hast beleued, blessed are they that haue not sene, and yet haue beleued.

² There were together Symon Peter & Thomas (which is called Didymus) and Nathanael of Cana in Galile, and the sonnes of Zebeddei, and two other of hys disciples.

¹³ And when they were come in, they went vp into a parler, where aboade both Peter and Iames, and Iohn and Andrew, Philip & Thomas, Barthelemew and Mathew, Iames the sonne of Alpheus, and Simon Zelotes, and Iudas the brother of Iames.

² He hath wounded vs, and he shall bynde vs vp agayne: after two dayes shall he quycken vs, in the thyrde daye he shall rayse vs vp, so that we shall lyue in hys syght.

¹⁹ Iesus answered & sayde vnto them: destroye thys temple, and in thre dayes I wyll reare it vp.

³⁹ Iesus sayd: take ye awaye the stone. Martha the sister of him that was deed, sayd vnhym: Lorde, by this tyme he styncketh. For he hath bene deed foure dayes.

²⁷ because thou wilt not leaue my soule in hell, nether wilt thou suffre thine holye to se corrupcion. ²⁸ Thou hast shewed me the wayes of lyfe, thou shalt make me full of ioye with thy countenaunce. ²⁹ Ye men and brethren, let me frely speake vnto you of the patriarke Dauid: For he is both deed and buryed, and hys sepulchre remayneth with vs vnto this daye. ³⁰ Therfore, seinge he was a Prophet, and knewe that God had sworne with an othe to him, that Christ (as concerninge the flessh) shulde come of the frute of his loynes, and on hys seat, ³¹ he knowyng this before, spake of the resurreccyon of Chryst, that his soule shulde not be left in hell: nether hys flesshe shulde se corrupcyon.

¹³ And beholde, two of them went that same daye to a towne (called Emaus) which was from Ierusalem about thre skore forlonges,

¹⁹ So when they had rowen about a .xxv. or .xxx. furlonges, they sawe Iesus walkyng in the see, & drawing nye vnto the shippe, & they were afrayed.

²⁰ & the wynefat was troden with out the cytie, and bloud came out of the fat, euen vnto the horsse brydles, by the space of a thousande, and .vi.C. furlonges.

¹⁶ And the cytie was bylt .iiii. square, and the length was as large as the bredth, & he measured the cytie with the rede .xii.M. furlonges: and the length & the bredth, and the heyth of it, were equall.

³⁵ But all his sonnes and all hys doughters rose vp to comforte him. Neuertheles he wolde not be comforted, but sayde: I wyll go downe into the graue vnto my sonne, mourninge. And thus hys father wepte for hym.

² Then sayd Dauid: I will shew kyndnesse vnto Hanon the sonne of Nahas, as hys father shewed kyndnesse vnto me. And Dauid sent to confort hym by the hand of his seruauntes ouer hys father. And Dauids seruauntes came into the lande of the children of Ammon,

²¹ and Sabad his sonne, and Suthelah his sonne, and Eser and Elead. And the men of Gath that were borne in that lande, slue them, because they were come downe to take awaye theyr catell. ²² And Ephraim theyr father mourned many a daye, and hys brethren came to conforte hym.

¹¹ Now when Iobs frendes hearde of all the trouble, that happened vnto hym, there came thre of them, euery one from hys awne place: namely, Eliphas the Themanite, Bildad the Suhite, & Zophad the Naamathite. And they were agreed together to come, to shewe their compassion vpon him, and to comforte hym.

¹¹ And then came there vnto hym all hys brethren, all hys systers, & all they that had bene of hys acquayntaunce afore, & dyd eat bread with him in his housse, wondrynge at hym, and comfortynge hym ouer all the trouble, that the Lorde had brought vpon hym. Euery man also gaue hym a certayne some of money and a Iewell of golde.

² It is better to go into an house of mourninge, then into a bancketinge house. For there is the ende of all men, & he that is liuing, taketh it to hert:

¹⁹ Both these thynges are happened vnto the, but who is sory for it? Yee, destructyon, wastynge, hunger and swerde: but who wyll comforte the?

⁵ For thus saieth the Lorde: Go not thou in vnto them ner come to mourne and wepe for them: for I haue taken my peace from thys people (sayeth the Lorde) yee my fauoure & my mercy. ⁶ And in this lande shall they dye, olde and yonge, and shall not be buried: no man shall bewepe them, no man shall clyppe or shaue him selfe for them. ⁷ There shal not one viset another, to mourne wyth them for their deed, or to comforte them. One shal not offre another the cuppe of consolacyon, to forget theyr heuynes for father and mother.

² She wepeth sore in the nyght so that the teares runne downe her chekes: for amonge all her louers, there is none that geueth her eny comforte: ye her nexte frendes transgresse agenst her, and are become her enemyes.

⁹ Her skyrtes are defyled, she remembred not what wolde folowe: therfore is her fall so wonderfull, and there is no man to comforte her. O Lorde, consydre my trouble, for myne enemye hath the vpperhande.

¹⁶ Therfore do I wepe, and myne eyes gusshe oute of water: for the comforte that shulde quycken me, is farre fro me. My chyldren are dryuen awaye, for why? the enemy hath gotten the ouerhande.

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

¹³ What shall I saye of the, O thou daughter Ierusalem, to whom shall I lycken the? To whom shall I compare the. O thou daughter Sion, to comforte the withall? Thy hurte is lyke a mayne see, who maye heale the?

³¹ The Iewes then which were with her in the house and comforted her, (when they sawe Mary that she rose vp hastely, and went out) folowed her, saieng: She goeth vnto the graue, to wepe there.

¹⁵ Be mery with them that are mery. Wepe also with them that wepe.

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.

¹⁸ Wherfore, comforte your selues one another wt these wordes.

¹¹ Wherfore, comforte your selues together, & edifye euery one another, euen as ye do.

¹ Then shall the kyngdom of heauen be like vnto ten virgins, which toke their lampes, & went to mete the brydgrome

⁶ And euen at midnyght, there was a crye made: behold, the brydgrome commeth, go out to mete hym.

³⁰ Iesus was not yet come into the towne: but was in that place where Martha met hym.

²⁵ And as it chaunsed Peter to come in, Cornelius mete hym, and fell downe at hys fete, & worshypped hym.

¹⁵ And from thence, when the brethren hearde of vs, they came to mete vs at Apiphorum, and at the thre tauernes. When Paul sawe them, he thancked God, and wexed bolde.

¹⁷ then we which shall lyue (euen we which shall remayne) shall be caught vp with them also in the cloudes, to mete the Lorde in the ayer. And so shall we euer be with the Lorde.

¹⁸ And she sayde vnto Elia: what haue I to do with the, O thou man of God? art thou come vnto me, to call my synne agayne to remembraunce, & to slaye my sonne?

¹⁹ They tempted God in theyr hertes, and requyred meate for theyr lust.

⁴¹ Many a tyme dyd they prouoke him in the wyldernesse, and greued him in the deserte.

¹⁸ Whyle he thus spake vnto them, beholde, ther came a certayne ruler, & worshipped him, sayinge: my daughter is euen now diseased, but come and laye thy hand vpon her, & she shall lyue.

⁶ And Iesus went with them. And whan he was now, not farre from the house, the Centurion sent frendes to hym, sayinge vnto hym: Lorde, trouble not thy self: for I am not worthy: that thou shuldest enter vnder my roffe. ⁷ Wherfore I thought not my self worthy to come vnto the: but saye thou the word, & my seruaunt shalbe whole. ⁸ For I also am a man set vnder power, and haue vnder me soudiers, and I saye vnto one go, and he goeth, & to another, come, & he cometh: and to my seruaunt, do this, & he doth it. ⁹ When Iesus heard thys, he meruayled at him, and turned hym about, and sayde to the people that folowed him: I saye vnto you, I haue not founde so great faith, no, not in Israel. ¹⁰ And they that were sent, turned backe home agayne and founde the seruaunt whole that had bene sycke.

¹³ And when the Lord sawe her, he had compassion on her, and sayde vnto her: wepe not. ¹⁴ And he came nye, & touched the coffyn: and they that bare him stode styl. And he sayde: Yonge man, I saye vnto the, aryse. ¹⁵ And he that was deed, sat vp, & began to speake. And he delyuered him to his mother.

⁴⁹ Whyle he yet spake, ther came one from the rulers of the synagoges house, which sayd to hym: thy daughter is deed, desease not the Master. ⁵⁰ But when Iesus hearde that worde, he answered the father of the damosell. Feare not, beleue onely, and she shalbe made whole. ⁵¹ And when he came to the house, he suffred no man to go in with hym, saue Peter, Iames, and Iohn, and the father and the mother of the mayden. ⁵² Euery body weept, and sorowed for her. And he said: Wepe not. The damosel is not deed, but slepeth. ⁵³ And they laught hym to scorne, knowyng that she was deed. ⁵⁴ And he thrust them all out, and caught her by the hand, and cryed, sayinge: Mayde, aryse. ⁵⁵ And her sprete came agayne, and she rose straight waye. And he commaunded to geue her meat.

⁴⁷ As sone as the same herde that Iesus was come out of Iewry into Galile, he went vnto him, & besought him, that he wolde come downe, and heale his sonne. For he was euen at the poynt of death. ⁴⁸ Then sayde Iesus vnto him: excepte ye se signes & wondres, ye wyll not beleue. ⁴⁹ The ruler sayeth vnto him: Syr, come downe, or euer that my sonne dye.

³² Then when Mary was come wher Iesus was, and sawe hym, she cometh nye vnto his fete, and sayth vnto him: Lorde, yf thou haddest bene here, my brother had not bene deed.

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

⁸ Desyre of me, and I shall geue the, the Heythen for thyne enheritaunce, & the vtmost partes of the erthe for thy possessyon.

¹⁸ And Iesus came, and spake vnto them, sayinge: All power is geuen vnto me in heauen, & in erth.

²³ Iesus sayd vnto hym: yf thou couldest beleue all thynges are possyble to hym that beleueth.

³⁵ The father loueth the sonne & hath geuen all thynges into hys hande

²² Nether iudgeth the father eny man: but hath commytted all iudgement vnto the sonne, ²³ because that all men shuld honoure the sonne euen as they honoure the father. He that honoureth not the sonne, the same honoureth not the father which hath sent hym. ²⁴ Uerely, verely I saye vnto you. He that heareth my worde, & beleueth on him that sent me, hath euerlasting lyfe, and shall not come into damnacyon: but is scaped from deeth vnto lyfe. ²⁵ Uerely, verely, I saye vnto you the houre shall come, & nowe it is, when the deed shall heare the voyce of the sonne of God. And they that heare, shall lyue. ²⁶ For as the father hath lyfe in hym selfe, so lykewyse hath he geuen to the sonne to haue lyfe in hym selfe: ²⁷ and hath geuen him power also to iudge, because he is the sonne of man.

³¹ For we be sure, that God heareth not synners. But yf eny man be a worshipper of God, and obedient vnto his wyl, him heareth he.

⁴¹ Then they toke awaye the stone from the place where he that had bene deed, was layde. And Iesus lyft vp his eyes, and sayd: Father, I thanke the, that thou hast hearde me. ⁴² Howbeit, I knewe, that thou hearest me allwayes: but because of the people which stande by. I sayde it, that they maye beleue, that thou hast sent me.

² as thou hast geuen him power ouer all flesh, that he shuld geue eternall lyfe to as many as thou hast geuen him.

¹⁷ By fayth Abraham offered vp Isaac, when he was proued, and he offered him beyng his only begotten sonne, in whom he had receaued the promyses. ¹⁸ And to hym it was sayde, in Isaac shal thy seed be called: ¹⁹ for he consydered, that God was able to rayse vp agayne from deeth. Therfore, receaued he him also for an ensample of the resurreccion.

¹⁵ They haue children at their desyre: & leaue the reste of theyr substaunce for theyr babes. But as for me, I wyll beholde thy presence in righteousnes: & when I awake vp after thy lykenes, I shalbe satisfyed with it.

¹⁴ They lye in the hell lyke shepe, death gnaweth vpon them, and the ryghteous shall haue dominacyon of them in the mornynge: theyr bewtye shall consume in the sepulchre out of theyr dwellynge. ¹⁵ But God shall delyuer my soule from the place of hell, for he shall receaue me. Sela.

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

¹⁹ 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.

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.

² Many of them that slepe in the dust of the earth, shall awake: some to the euerlastynge lyfe, some to perpetuall shame & reprofe. ³ The wyse (soch as haue taught other) shall glyster, as the shynynge of heauen: and those that haue instructe the multitude vnto godlynesse, shalbe as the starres, worlde without ende.

¹⁴ had not I defended hym from the graue, and delyuered hym from death. O death, I will be thy death: O hell, I wyll be thy kynge.

²³ The same daye came to him the Saduces (which saye that there is no resurreccion) & asked him ²⁴ sayinge: Master, Moses sayde: that yf a man dye hauynge no chylde, hys brother shulde mary hys wyfe, & reyse vp seed vnto his brother. ²⁵ Ther were with vs seuen brethren: & the fyrste maried a wyfe, & deceased wtout yssue & lefte his wyfe vnto his brother. ²⁶ Lykewyse, the seconde & the thyrd, vnto the seuenth. ²⁷ Laste of all the woman dyed also. ²⁸ Therfore, in the resurreccion, whose wyfe shall she be of the seuen? For they all had her. ²⁹ Iesus answered & sayde vnto them: ye do erre, not knowinge the scriptures, nor the power of God. ³⁰ For in the resurreccyon, they nether mary, nor are maryed but are as the Angels in heauen. ³¹ But as touchyng the resurreccyon of the deed: haue ye not red that which is spoken vnto you of God, whych sayth: ³² I am the God of Abraham & the God of Isaac, & the God of Iacob? God is not a God of deed, but of lyuinge.

¹⁴ & thou shalt be happy, for they can not recompence the But thou shalt be recompensed at the resurreccyon of the iuste men.

³¹ because he hath appoynted a daye, in the which he will iudge the world wt ryghte wesnes, by that man by whom he hath appoynted, & hath offered fayth to all men, after that he had raysed him from deeth. ³² When they hearde of the resurreccion from deeth, some mocked, and other sayd: we wyll heare the agayne of thys matter.

⁶ When Paul perceaued that the one parte were Saduces, and the other Pharises, he cryed out in the councell: Men and brethren, I am a Pharisey, the sonne of a Pharisey. Of the hope and resurreccyon from death, I am iudged. ⁷ And whan he had so sayde, there arose a debate betwene the Phariseyes and the Saduces and the multitude was deuyded. ⁸ For the Saduces saye, that there is no resurreccyon, nether angel, nor sprete: But the Phariseyes graunt both. ⁹ And there arose a greate crye: and whan the Scrybes which were of the Phariseyes parte arose, they stroue saying: we fynde none euyll in thys man. Though a sprete or an angell hath apeared to hym, let vs not stryue agaynst God.

¹⁵ and haue hope towardes God, that the same resurreccion of the deed (which they them selues loke for also) shalbe, both of iust and vniust.

³⁵ the wemen receaued theyr deed raysed to lyfe agayne. Other were racked, & wolde not be delyuered, that they myght inheret a better resurrection.

²⁵ For I am sure, that my redemer lyueth, and that I hall ryse out of the earth in the latter daye: ²⁶ that I shall be clothed agayne with this skynne, and se God in my flesh. ²⁷ Yee, I my selfe shall beholde him, not with other, but with these same eyes. My reynes are consumed within me:

⁹ For with the is the well of lyfe, and in thy lyght, shall we se lyght.

¹⁶ O Lorde men maye lyue beyond theyr yeares, and I wyll declare to all men: that euen in those yeres I haue a ioyfull lyfe, and that it was thou that causedest me to sleape and agayne thou hast geuen lyfe to me.

⁴³ And Iesus sayde vnto hym: Uerely I saye vnto the: to daye shalt thou be wyth me in Paradyse.

⁴ In it was lyfe, and the lyfe was the lyght of men,

³⁶ He that beleueth on the sonne hath euerlastinge lyfe: He that beleueth not the sonne, shall not se lyfe, but the wrath of God abydeth on him.

²¹ For lykewyse as the father rayseth vp the deed, and quyckeneth them, euen so the sonne quyckeneth whom he wyll

²⁶ For as the father hath lyfe in hym selfe, so lykewyse hath he geuen to the sonne to haue lyfe in hym selfe:

³⁵ And Iesus sayd vnto them. I am the breed of lyfe. He that commeth to me shall not honger: and he that beleueth on me shall neuer thurst.

³⁹ And this is the fathers wyll whych hath sent me, that of all whych he hath geuen me, I shall loose nothinge: but rayse them vp agayne at the last daye. ⁴⁰ And thys is the will of him that sent me: that euery one whych seeth the sonne and beleueth on him, haue euerlasting lyfe. And I wyll rayse him vp at the last daye.

⁴⁴ No man can come to me, except the father which hath sent me, drawe hym: And I wyll rayse hym vp at the last daye.

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

¹⁹ Yet a lytell while and the world seeth me nomore: but ye se me. For I lyue, & ye shall lyue.

¹⁵ and kylled the Lorde of lyfe, whom God hath raysed from deeth, of the which we are witnesses.

¹⁷ (As it is wrytten: I haue made the a father of many nacyons) euen before God, whom he beleued, whych restoreth the deed vnto lyfe: and calleth those thynges whych be not, as though they were.

¹⁷ For yf by the synne of one, deeth raygned by the meanes of one: moch more they (whych receaue aboundance of grace and of the gyfte of ryghtewesnes) shall raygne in lyfe by the meanes of one (that is to saye) Iesus Christ. ¹⁸ Lyke wyse then as by the synne of one there sprang vp euell on all men to condemnacyon: euen so by the ryghteousnes of one, spryngeth good vpon all men to the ryghteousnes of lyfe. ¹⁹ For as by one mannes disobedience many became synners: so by the obedience of one, shall many be made ryghteous.

² For the lawe of the sprete of lyfe thorow Iesus Christ, hath made me fre from the lawe of synne, and deeth.

¹⁰ If Chryst be in you, the body is deed because of synne: but the spryte is lyfe for ryghtewesnes sake. ¹¹ Wherfore, yf the spryte of hym that raysed vp Iesus from deeth, dwell in you: euen he that raysed vp Chryst from deeth, shall quycken youre mortall bodyes, because of hys sprete that dwelleth in you.

³⁸ For I am sure, that nether deeth, nether lyfe, nether Angels, nor rule, nether power, nether thynges present, nether thynges to come, ³⁹ nether heygth, nether loweth, nether eny other creature shal be able to departe vs from the loue of God, which is in Christ Iesu oure Lorde.

²⁰ But now is Christ rysen from the deed, & become the fyrst frutes of them that slept. ²¹ For by a man came deeth, and by a man came the resurreccyon of the deed. ²² For as by Adam all dye: euen so by Christ, shall all be made alyue, ²³ but euery man in his awne order. The fyrst is Christ, then they that are Christes at his commynge. ²⁴ Then commeth the ende, when he hath delyuered vp the kyngdome to God the father, when he hath put downe all rule and all auctorite & power. ²⁵ For he must raygne tyll he haue put all his enemyes vnder his fete. ²⁶ The last enemye that shalbe destroyed, is deeth

²⁹ Els what do they, whych are baptised ouer the deed yf the deed ryse not at all? Why are they then baptised ouer them?

⁴³ It is sowen in dishonour, it ryseth agayne in honoure. It is sowen in weaknes, it ryseth agayne in power. It is sowen a naturall body, it ryseth agayne a spretuall body. ⁴⁴ Ther is a naturall bodye, & ther is a spretuall body: ⁴⁵ as it is also written: the fyrste man Adam was made a lyuinge soule, and the last Adam was made a quyckening sprete. ⁴⁶ Howbeit, that is not fyrst which is spirituall: but that which is naturall, and then that which is spretuall ⁴⁷ The fyrst man is of the erth, erthy: the seconde man is the Lorde from heauen ⁴⁸ As is the erthy, soche are they that are erthye. And as is the heuenly, soche are they that are heuenly. ⁴⁹ And as we haue borne the ymage of the erthy, so shall we beare the ymage of the heauenly. ⁵⁰ This saye I brethren the flesshe & bloud cannot inheret the kyngdom of God. Nether doth corrupcyon inheret vncorrupcyon. ⁵¹ Beholde, I shewe you a mistery. We shall not all slepe: but we shall all be chaunged, ⁵² and that in a moment, in the twyncklynge of an eye by the last trompe. For the trompe shall blowe, and the deed shall ryse incorruptible, & we shalbe chaunged. ⁵³ For this corruptible must put on incorrupcyon: and this mortall must put on immortalite. ⁵⁴ When this corruptible hath put on incorruption, and this mortall hath put on immortalite: then shalbe brought to passe the saying that is written: ⁵⁵ Deeth is swalowed vp in victory: Deeth where is thy stynge? Hell where is thy victory? ⁵⁶ The stynge of deeth is synne: and the strength of synne is the lawe. ⁵⁷ But thankes be vnto God which hath geuen vs victory, thorowe oure Lord Iesus Christ.

¹⁴ For we knowe, that he which raysed vp the Lorde Iesus, shall rayse vp vs also by the meanes of Iesus, & shall sett vs with you.

¹ For we knowe that yf oure erthy mancion of this dwellyng were destroyed, we haue a byldinge of God, an habitacyon not made with handes, but eternall in heauen. ² For therfore syghe we, desyring to be clothed with oure mansion which is from heauen: ³ so yet, yf that we be founde clothed, & not naked. ⁴ For we that are in this tabernacle, syghe & are greued because we wold not be vnclothed, but wolde be clothed vpon, that mortalite myght be swalowed vp of lyfe. ⁵ He that hath ordeyned vs for this thynge, is God: which very same hath geuen vnto vs the ernest of the sprete. ⁶ Therfore, we are alwaye of good cheare, and knowe, that as longe as we are at home in the body, we are absent from God. ⁷ For we walke in fayth, not after outward appearaunce. ⁸ Neuerthelesse, we are of good comforte, and had leuer to be absent from the body, and to be present with God.

²³ For I am constrayned of these two thinges. I desyre to be loosed, & to be wt Christ which is moche & far better.

¹⁰ that I maye knowe hym and the vertue of hys resurrecyon, and the fellowshyppe of hys passyons, whyle I am conformable vnto hys (deeth)

²⁰ But oure conuersacyon is in heauen, from whence we loke for the saueoure, euen the Lorde Iesus Chryst, ²¹ which shall chaunge oure vyle bodie, that he maye make it lyke vnto hys glorious body, accordynge to the workynge, wherby he is able also to subdue all thynges vnto him selfe.

³ For ye are deed, and youre lyfe is hyd with Chryst in God. ⁴ Whensoeuer Chryst (which is oure lyfe) shall shewe hym selfe, then shall ye also appeare with hym in glory.

¹⁴ For yf we beleue, that Iesus dyed, & rose agayne: euen so them also which slepe by Iesus, wyll God brynge agayne wt hym.

¹³ These all dyed accordinge to fayth, whan they had not receaued the promises: but sawe them a farre of, and beleued them, & saluted them, and confessed, that they were straungers and pilgrems on the erthe. ¹⁴ For they that saye soch thynges, declare, that they seke a countre. ¹⁵ Also yf they had bene myndfull of the countre, from whence they came out, they had leasure to haue returned agayne: ¹⁶ but now they desyre a better (that is to saye) a heauenly. Wherfore God himselfe is not ashamed to be called theyr God for he hath prepared for them a citye.

¹ That which was from the begynnynge, whyche we haue hearde, whyche we haue sene wyth oure eyes, whych we haue loked vpon, and our handes haue handled, of the word of the lyfe. ² And the lyfe appeared, & we haue sene and beare wytnes, & shewe vnto you that eternall lyfe, whyche was wyth the father, & appeared vnto vs.

¹¹ because he beleued not the recorde that God gaue of hys sonne. And this is that recorde, how that God hath geuen vnto vs eternall lyfe, & this lyfe is in hys sonne. ¹² He that hath the sonne hath lyfe: & he that hath not the sonne of God, hath not lyfe.

⁵ but the other of the deed men lyued not agayne, vntyll the thousand yere were finisshed. This is that first resurreccion.

¹⁰ and the deuyll that deceaued them, was cast into a lake of fyre and brymstone, where the beast and the false prophetes shalbe tormented daye and nyght for euermore. ¹¹ And I sawe a great whyte seate, and him that sate on it, from whose face fleed awaye both the erth and heauen, and their place was nomore founde. ¹² And I sawe the deed, both gret and small stonde before God: And the bokes were opened, and another boke was opened, which is the boke of lyfe, & the deed were iudged of those thynges whych were written in the bokes accordyng to their dedes: ¹³ and the see gaue vp her deed which were in her, and deeth and hell deliuered vp the deed, which were in them: & they were iudged euery man accordyng to his dedes. ¹⁴ And deeth and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the seconde deeth. ¹⁵ And whosoeuer was not founde wrytten in the boke of lyfe, was cast into the lake of fyre.

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

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

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

²⁸ And when he was come into the house, the blynde came to him. And Iesus sayeth vnto them: Beleue ye, that I am able to do this? They saye vnto him: Lord, we beleue.

⁵³ Thinkest thou that I cannot now praye to my father, and he shall geue me more then twelue Legions of angels?

¹⁵ that whosoeuer beleueth in him, perysshe not, but haue eternall lyfe. ¹⁶ For God so loue the worlde, that, he gaue is only begotten sonne, that whosoeuer beleueth in him, shulde not perisshe, but haue euerlastyng lyfe. ¹⁷ For God sent not his sonne into the worlde, to condempne the worlde but that the world through him myght be saued. ¹⁸ He that beleueth on him, is not condemned. But he that beleueth not, is condemned all ready, because he hath not beleued in the name of the onely begotten sonne of God,

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

²⁴ Uerely, verely I saye vnto you. He that heareth my worde, & beleueth on him that sent me, hath euerlasting lyfe, and shall not come into damnacyon: but is scaped from deeth vnto lyfe.

⁵⁰ Thys is that breed, whych commeth downe from heauen, that a man maye eate therof, & not dye. ⁵¹ I am that lyuinge bread, whych came downe from heauen. If eny man eate of this bread, he shall liue for euer And the breed that I will geue, is my flesshe, whych I will geue for the lyfe of the worlde.

⁵⁴ Whoso eateth my flesshe & dryncketh my bloude, hath eternall lyfe, & I wyll rayse him vp at the last daye. ⁵⁵ For my fleshe is meate in dede: and my bloude is drincke in dede. ⁵⁶ He that eateth my flesshe & drinketh my bloude, dwelleth in me and I in him. ⁵⁷ As the lyuinge father hath sent me, and I liue for the father: Euen so he that eateth me, shall lyue by the meanes of me. ⁵⁸ This is the breed, which cam downe from heauen: not as youre fathers dyd eate Manna, & are deed: He that eateth of this breed, shall lyue euer.

⁵¹ Uerely verely, I saye vnto you: yf a man kepe my saieng, he shall neuer se deeth. ⁵² Then sayd the Iewes vnto him: Now knowe we that thou hast the deuyll. Abraham is deed, and the prophetes, and thou sayest: yf a man kepe my saying, he shal neuer taste of death. ⁵³ Art thou greater then our father Abraham, which is deed? and the prophetes are deed. Whom makest thou thy selfe?

³⁵ Iesus heard that they had excommunicate hym: and when he had founde hym, he sayde vnto hym: doest thou beleue on the sonne of God?

²⁸ and I geue vnto them eternall lyfe, and they shall neuer perissh, nether shall eny man plucke them oute of my hande.

¹⁰ Beleuest thou not, that I am in the father, & the father in me? The wordes that I speake vnto you, I speake not of my self: but the father that dwelleth in me is he that doth the workes.

¹³ to lyue after the fleshe. For yf ye lyue after the fleshe, ye shal dye. But yf ye (thorowe the sprete) do mortyfye the dedes of the body, ye shall lyue.

¹⁰ He that beleueth on the sonne of God, hath the witnes in hym selfe. He that be beleueth not God, hath made him a liar

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

³ & sayde vnto hym: Art thou he that shall come: or do we loke for another.

¹⁶ Simon Peter answered & sayde: Thou art Christ the sone of the lyuynge God.

¹¹ for vnto you is borne this daye in the cytie of Dauid, a saueoure which is Christ the Lord.

¹⁹ And Iohn called vnto him two of his disciples, & sent them to Iesus, saying: Art thou he that shuld come: or shall we looke for another? ²⁰ When the men were come vnto him, they sayde: Iohn baptiste sent vs vnto the, saying: Art thou he that shulde come? or shall we wayte for another?

⁴⁹ Nathanael answered and sayd vnto him: Rabbi, thou art euen the very sonne of God, thou art the kyng of Israel.

⁴² and sayde vnto the woman. Now we beleue, not because of thy sayinge: for we haue herde him oure selues, and knowe that thys is euen Christ, the sauioure of the worlde.

¹⁴ Then those men (when they had sene the myracle that Iesus dyd) sayd: this is of a trueth the same Prophete, that shulde come into the worlde.

⁶⁹ and we beleue and are sure that thou art Chryst the sonne of the lyuinge God.

³⁶ He answered and sayd: Who is it Lord that I myght beleue on him? ³⁷ And Iesus said vnto him: Thou hast sene him, and he it is that talketh with the. ³⁸ And he sayd: Lord, I beleue, and he worshipped hym.

²⁸ Thomas answered, and sayde vnto him: my Lorde, & my God: ²⁹ Iesus sayeth vnto him: Thomas, because thou hast sene me, thou hast beleued, blessed are they that haue not sene, and yet haue beleued. ³⁰ And many other sygnes truly dyd Iesus in the presence of his discyples, which are not wrytten in this boke. ³¹ These are written, that ye myght beleue, that Iesus is Chryst the sonne of God, and that (in beleuyng) ye myght haue lyfe thorow hys name.

³⁶ And as they went on theyr waye, they cam vnto a certen water, and the chamberlayne said: Se, here is water what doth let me to be baptysed?

¹⁵ This is a true sayinge (and by all meanes worthy to be receaued of vs) that Chryst Iesus came into the worlde, to saue synners, of whom I am chefe. ¹⁶ Not wythstandynge for this cause optayned I mercy, that Iesus Christ shulde fyrst shewe on me all longe pacience, to declare an ensample vnto them which shulde beleue on him vnto eternall lyfe.

¹ Whosoeuer beleueth that Iesus is Christ, is borne of God. And euery one that loueth hym which begat, loueth him also which was begotten of him.

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

⁸ Me thinke I heare the voyce of my beloued: lo, there commeth he hoppynge vpon the mountaynes, & leapynge ouer the lytle hylles. ⁹ My beloued, is lyke a Roo or a yonge hart. Beholde, he standeth behynde our wall, he loketh in at the wyndowe, and pepeth thorowe the grate. ¹⁰ My beloued answered and sayde vnto me. O stande vp my loue, my beutyfull, and go to thyne awne: ¹¹ for that, the wynter is now past the rayne is awaye and gone. ¹² The floures are come vp in the felde, the tyme of the byrdes syngynge is come, and the voyce of the turtle doue is hearde in oure lande. ¹³ The fygge tree bringeth forth her fygges, and the vynes beare blossoms. & haue a good smel. O stande vp then & come my loue, my beutyfull, & come I saye ¹⁴ (O my doue) out of the caues of the rockes, out of the holes of the wall: O let me se thy countenaunce and heare thy voyce for swete is thy voyce, and fayre is thy face.

¹⁰ Then shal euery man cal for his neyghbour vnder the vyne and vnder the fyggtre, sayth the Lorde of hoostes:

¹⁸ And he sayd: go into the cytie, to soche a man, and saye vnto him, the master sayeth: my tyme is at hand, I will kepe myne Easter by the, wyth my disciples:

⁴⁹ And Iesus stode styll, and commaunded hym to be called: And they called the blynde, sayinge vnto hym: Be of good comforte: ryse he calleth the.

¹⁴ And whither soeuer he goeth in, saye ye to the good man of the house, the master sayeth: where is the geest chambre, where I shall eate passeouer wyth my disciples?

¹¹ and ye shall saye vnto the good man of the house: The master sayeth vnto the: where is the gest chamber, where I shall eate Passeouer wt my disciples?

⁴¹ The same founde hys brother Simon fyrst, and sayeth vnto him: we haue founde Messias (whych is by interpretacion, annoynted)

⁴⁵ Philip founde Nathanael, and sayeth vnto him: We haue founde hym, of whome Moses in the lawe and the Prophetes dyd wryte, Iesus the sonne of Ioseph of Nazareth.

³ to hym the porter openeth, & the shepe heare hys voyce, and he calleth his awne shepe by name, and leadeth them out.

²⁰ Martha assone as she heard that Iesus was commynge, went and met hym: but Mary sate styll in the house.

¹³ Ye call me master and Lorde, and ye saye well, for so am I.

¹⁶ Iesus sayeth vnto her. Mary. She turned her selfe, & sayd vnto hym: Rabboni, which is to saye, master.

⁷ Then sayde the disciple whom Iesus loued vnto Peter: It is the Lord: When Symon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he gyrde his coate vnto him (for he was naked) & sprange into the see.

¹⁷ then we which shall lyue (euen we which shall remayne) shall be caught vp with them also in the cloudes, to mete the Lorde in the ayer. And so shall we euer be with the Lorde. ¹⁸ Wherfore, comforte your selues one another wt these wordes.

¹² Stretch forth therfore the handes which were let downe, and the weake knees:

⁸ Herken vnto my voyce, O Lorde, when I crye vnto the: haue mercye vpon me, and heare me.

⁵⁹ I call myne owne wayes to remembraunce, and tourne my fete into thy testimonie ⁶⁰ I made haste, and prolonged not the tyme, to kepe thy commaundementes.

²³ A ioyfull thynge is it, to a man when his counsell is folowed: and very pleasunt is a worde spoken in due season.

¹⁷ Lyke as one yron whetteth another, so doth one man comforte another.

¹ By nyght in my beed I sought him, whom my soule loueth: ye diligently sought I him, but I founde him not. ² I wyll get vp (thought I) and go aboute the cytie, in the wayes in all the stretes wyll I seke him whom my soule loueth: but when I sought hym, I founde hym not. ³ The watchmen also that go aboute the cytie, founde me. Sawe ye not him whom my soule loueth? ⁴ So when I was a lytle past them, I founde him whom my soule loueth. I haue gotten holde vpon hym, and wyll not let him go vntyll I bringe hym into my mothers house, and into her chambre that bare me.

¹⁶ Dauid therfore besought God for the chylde, and fasted and went in, and laye all nyght vpon the erthe. ¹⁷ And the elders of hys house arose and went to hym, to take him vp from the erth. But he wolde not, nether dyd he eate meat wyth them. ¹⁸ And it happened the seuenth daye, that the chylde dyed. And the seruauntes of Dauid durst not tell him, that the chylde was deed. For they sayd: beholde, while the chyld was yet alyue, we spake vnto hym, and he wolde not herken vnto oure voyce. Howe wyll he then vexe hym selfe, yf we tell hym, that the chylde is deed?

¹⁹ and many of the Iewes came to Martha & Mary to comforte them ouer their brother.

¹⁵ But he that is spretual, discusseth all thynges: yet he him selfe is iudged of no man.

⁸ When Simon Peter sawe thys, he fell downe at Iesus knees, saying: Lord, go from me, for I am a sinful man.

⁴¹ And beholde, there came a man named Iairus (& he was a ruler of the synagoge) & he fell downe at Iesus fete praying him, that he wold come into his house,

¹⁶ and fell doune on hys face at hys fete, and gaue hym thankes. And the same was a Samaritane.

⁴⁹ The ruler sayeth vnto him: Syr, come downe, or euer that my sonne dye.

²¹ Then sayd Martha vnto Iesus: Lord, yf thou haddest bene here, my brother had not dyed:

⁸ And when he had taken the boke, the foure beastes and .xxiiii. elders fell downe before the lambe, hauyng (euery one of them) harpes & golden vialles full of odoures, which are the prayers of saynctes,

¹⁴ And the foure beastes sayd: Amen. And the .xxiiii. elders fell vpon their faces, and worshypped hym that lyueth for euermore.

⁸ I am Iohn, which sawe these thynges and herde them. And when I had herde & sene, I fell doune to worshyppe before the fete of the Angell, whyche shewed me these thynges.

⁵ And whan he had looked round aboute on them, wyth anger, mournynge on the blyndnes of their hertes, he sayeth to the man, stretch forth thine hande. And he stretched it out. And hys hande was restored, euen as whole as the other.

¹⁹ He answereth him, and sayth: O faithles nacion, how longe shall I be wt you? How longe shall I suffre you? Brynge hym vnto me.

³³ And he taketh wyth him Peter & Iames & Iohn, & began to waxe abasshed, & to be in an agonye, ³⁴ & sayeth vnto them: My soule is heuy, euen vnto the deeth, tary ye here and watche. ³⁵ And he went forth a lytle & fell downe flatt on the grounde, & prayed: that yf it were possible, the houre myght passe from him.

³⁸ Iesus therfore agayne groned in him self, and came to the graue. It was a caue, and a stone layde on it.

²⁷ Nowe is my soule troubled, and what shall I saye? Father, delyuer me from this houre: but therfore came I vnto thys houre.

²¹ When Iesus had thus sayd, he was troubled in the sprete, and testifyed and sayd: verely verely, I saye vnto you: that one of you shall be traye me.

¹⁵ For we haue not an hye preste, which cannot haue compassyon on oure infirmities: but was in all poyntes tempted, lyke as we are: but yet with out synne.

⁷ which in the dayes of his flesshe, whan he had offered vp prayers and supplicacions, with stronge cryinge and teares (vnto him that was able to saue him from deeth) and was hearde because of hys reuerence, ⁸ though he were the sonne yet learned he obedience, by those thynges which he suffered:

⁶ he is not here: he is rysen as he sayde. Come se the place where the the Lord was layed:

⁴⁷ And Mary Magdalen and Mary Ioses behelde where he was layde.

⁶ And he sayeth vnto them, be not afrayed: ye seke Iesus of Nazareth, whych was crucifyed. He is rysen, he is not here. Beholde the place where they had put him.

³⁹ He sayeth vnto them: come & se. They came, & sawe where he dwelt: & abode with hym that daye. For it was about the tenth houre.

² Then she ranne, and came to Symon Peter, and to the other dyscyple whom Iesus loued, and sayeth vnto them. They haue taken awaye the Lorde out of the graue, & we cannot tell where they haue layde him.

³⁰ And Ioseph made hast (for hys hert dyd melt vpon his brother) & sought where to wepe, and entred into his chambre, & wepte there.

²⁵ Did not I wepe with him that was in trouble? Had not my soule compassion vpon the poore?

¹³ Neuerthelesse, when they were sycke, I put on a sacke clothe: and humbled my soule with fastynge, and my prayer shall turne into myne awne bosome. ¹⁴ I behaued my selfe as though it had bene my frende or my brother, I wente heuely, as one that mourneth for hys mother. ¹⁵ But in myne aduersyte they reioysed, and gathered them together: Yee the very abiectes came together agaynst me vnawares, makynge mowes at me, and ceassed not.

¹³⁶ Myne eyes gusshe out wyth water, because men kepe not thy lawe.

³ He is despised & abhorred of men, he is soch a man as is full of sorowe & as hath good experience of infirmyties. We haue rekoned hym so vyle, that we hyd oure faces from hym, ye he was despised & therfore we regarded him not.

⁹ In their troubles he was also troubled wt them, and the angell that went forth from hys presence, delyuered them: Of very loue & kyndnesse that he had vnto them, redemed he them. He hath borne them, and caryed them vp euer, sence the worlde beganne.

¹ O who wyll geue my head water ynough, and a wel of teares for myne eyes: that I maye wepe night and daye: for the slaughter of my people?

¹⁷ But yf ye wyll not heare me, that geue you secrete warnyng, I wyll mourne from my whole hert for youre stubburnes. Pyteously wyll I wepe, & the teares shall gusshe out of myne eyes. For the Lordes flocke shall be caryed awaye captyue.

¹⁷ Thys shalt thou say also vnto them. Myne eyes shall wepe without ceassynge daye & nyght. For my people shalbe destroyed wt greate harme, & shall perysh with a greate plage.

¹¹ As they hearde these thynges, he added therto a parable, because he was nye to Ierusalem, and because they thought, that the kyngdome of God shulde shortly appeare.

⁴¹ And when he was come neare, he behelde the cytie, and wept on it,

³³ When Iesus therfore sawe her wepe (and the Iewes also weping which came wt her) he groned in the sprete, and was troubled in him selfe,

² that I haue gret heuynes, & contynuall sorowe in my hert. ³ For I haue wysshed my selfe to be cursed from Chryst, for my brethren (my kynsmen as pertaynynge to the flesshe)

¹⁶ For he in no place taketh on hym the angels: but the seed of Abraham taketh he on hym. ¹⁷ Wherfore, in all thynges it became hym to be made lyke vnto his brethren, that he myght be mercyfull, and a faythfull hye Preste in thynges concernynge God, for to pourge the peoples synnes.

²¹ He that hath my commaundementes, and kepeth them: the same is he that loueth me. And he that loueth me, shalbe loued of my father: and I wyll loue hym, and wyll shewe myne awne selfe to him. ²² Iudas sayth vnto hym: (not Iudas Iscarioth) Lorde, what is done that thou wylt shewe thy selfe vnto vs, and not vnto the world? ²³ Iesus answered & sayd: vnto them: yf a man loue me, he will kepe my sayinges, and my father wyll loue hym, and we wyll come vnto hym, and dwell wt hym.

¹⁵ So when they had dyned, Iesus sayeth to Simon Peter: Symon Ioanna, louest thou me more then these? He sayd vnto him: ye Lord, thou knowest, that I loue the. He sayeth vnto him: fede my lambes. ¹⁶ He sayeth to him agayne the seconde tyme: Symon Ioanna, louest thou me? He saieth vnto him. Yee Lord, thou knowest that I loue the. He sayde vnto him: fede my shepe. ¹⁷ He sayde vnto him the thyrde tyme: Symon Ioanna, louest thou me? Peter was sory, because he sayde vnto hym the thyrde tyme: louest thou me, and he sayde vnto hym: Lord, thou knowest all thinges, thou knowest that I loue the, Iesus saieth vnto him: fede my shepe.

⁸ This saye I, not commaundynge: but because of feruentnes, I do alowe the vnfaynednesse of youre loue towarde other men. ⁹ For ye knowe the liberalytie of oure Lord Iesus Christ, that though he was ryche, yet for youre sakes he became poore that ye, thorowe hys pouertye, myght be made ryche.

² and walke ye in loue euen as Christ loued vs, and gaue him selfe for vs an offerynge and a sacrifyce of a swete sauer to God

²⁵ Ye husbandes, loue youre wyues, euen as Chryst also loued the congregacyon, and gaue hym selfe for it,

¹ Beholde, what loue the father hath shewed on vs, that we shuld be called the the sonnes of God. For this cause the worlde knoweth you not, because it knoweth not hym.

⁹ In this appeared the loue of God to vs ward, because that God sent hys onely begotten sonne into the worlde, that we might liue thorow him. ¹⁰ Herin is loue, not that we loued God, but that he loued vs, & sent hys sonne to be the agrement for oure synnes.

⁵ & from Iesus Christ, which is a faythfull wytnes, & fyrst begotten of the deed: & Lorde ouer the kynges of the erth. Unto him that loued vs, and wesshed vs from oure synnes in hys awne bloude,

¹⁹ They tempted God in theyr hertes, and requyred meate for theyr lust. ²⁰ They spake agaynst God also sayenge: Shall God prepare a table in the wildernesse?

⁴⁰ and sayinge: thou that destroydest the temple of God and dyddest bylde it in thre dayes, saue thy selfe If thou be the sonne of God, come downe from the crosse. ⁴¹ Like wyse also the hye prestes, mocking him with the Scribes and elders sayde: ⁴² He saued other, him selfe can he not saue. If he be the kynge of Israel: let him now come doune from the crosse, & we will beleue him.

³² Let Christ the kynge of Israell descende now from the crosse, that we maye se, & beleue. And they that were crucifyed with him checked him also.

³⁵ And the people stode, and behelde. And the rulers mocked him wyth them, saying: he saued other men, let him saue him selfe, yf he be very Christ, the chosen of God.

³⁹ And one of the euyll doers whych were hanged, rayled on him, sayinge: If thou be Chryst, saue thy selfe and vs.

⁶ Assone as he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made claye of the spetle, and rubbed the claye on the eyes of the blynde, ⁷ & sayd vnto him: Go, wesshe the in the pole of Siloe, which (by interpretacion) is asmoche to saye as, sent. He went his waye therfore, and wasshed, & came agayne, seinge:

¹⁹ After thys dyd Abraham burye Sara hys wyfe in the double caue of the felde that lyeth before Mamre. The same is Hebron in the lande of Chanaan.

²⁹ And he charged them, and sayde vnto them: whan I shalbe gathered vnto my people, burye me wyth my fathers, in the caue that is in the felde of Ephron the Hethyte, ³⁰ in the double caue that is in the felde by the countre of Mamre in the land of Canaan. Whych felde Abraham boughte of Ephron the Hethyte for a possessyon to burye in, ³¹ where as were buryed Abraham and Sarah hys wyfe. And where as were buryed Isahac & Rebecca his wyfe. And there I buryed Lea.

¹⁶ What hast thou to do here? and whom hast thou here, that thou shuldest here hewe the out a sepulcre, as it were one that heweth hym out a sepulcre an hye, or that graueth an habitacion for him self in a hard rock?

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.

⁶ Mourne therfore (O thou sonne of man) that thy loynes crack withall, ye mourne bitterly for them in their presence.

⁶⁰ and layed it in hys newe tombe, whych he had hewen out, euen in the rocke, and rolled a greate stone to the dore of the sepulcre & departed.

⁶⁶ So they went, and made the sepulcre sure with watche men, and sealed the stone.

¹² And whan he had syghted in hys sprete, he sayeth: why doth thys generacyon seke a sygne? Uerely I saye vnto you, there shall no sygne be geuen vnto thys generacyon.

⁴⁶ And he bought a lynnen clothe, and toke him downe, and wrapped him in the lynnen clothe, and layde him in a sepulcre, that was hewen out of the rocke.

² And they founde the stone rowled awaye from the sepulcre,

¹ The fyrst daye of the Sabbothes cam Mary Magdalene early (when it was yet darcke) vnto the sepulchre, and sawe the stone taken awaye from the graue.

¹⁹ In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eate bread, tyll thou be turned agayne into the grounde, for out of it was thou taken, in asmuch as thou art dust, & into dust shalt thou be turned agayne.

⁴ I am a straunger & a foryner amonge you, geue me a possessyon to burye in wyth you, that I maye bury my coarse out of my syght.

⁷ But no man maye delyuer hys brother, ner make agrement vnto God for hym.

⁹ Yee, though he lyue longe, and se nat the graue.

¹⁴ They lye in the hell lyke shepe, death gnaweth vpon them, and the ryghteous shall haue dominacyon of them in the mornynge: theyr bewtye shall consume in the sepulchre out of theyr dwellynge.

³ And they sayd among them selues: who shall rolle vs awaye the stone from the dore of the sepulchre?

¹⁷ Then went Iesus, and founde that he had lyen in hys graue foure dayes allready.

²⁷ because thou wilt not leaue my soule in hell, nether wilt thou suffre thine holye to se corrupcion.

³⁶ For Dauid (after he had in hys tyme fulfylled the wyll of God) fell on slepe, and was layde vnto hys fathers, and sawe corrupcyon.

²¹ which shall chaunge oure vyle bodie, that he maye make it lyke vnto hys glorious body, accordynge to the workynge, wherby he is able also to subdue all thynges vnto him selfe.

²⁰ And whan they arose earlye in the mornynge, they gat them out vnto the wyldernesse of Thekoa. And as they went out, Iehosaphat stode and sayde: heare me, O Iuda, & ye enhabiters of Ierusalem. Put your trust in the Lord your God, that ye maye be founde faythfull. Geue credence to hys prophetes, & so shall ye prospere.

² My soule thrusteth for the: my flesh also longeth after the in a baren and drye lande, where no water is.

¹⁶ Shewe thy seruauntes thy worke, and theyr chyldren thy glory.

¹⁴ And the same worde became flesshe, and dwelt amonge vs: and we sawe the glory of it, as the glory of the onely begotten sonne of the father, full of grace and trueth.

²³ Iesus sayth vnto her: Thy brother shall ryse agayne. ²⁴ Martha sayeth vnto hym: I knowe that he shall ryse agayne in the resurreccyon at the last daye. ²⁵ Iesus sayth vnto her: I am the resurreccyon and the lyfe: He that beleueth on me, ye though he were deed, yet shall he lyue. ²⁶ And whosoeuer lyueth and beleueth on me, shall neuer dye: Beleuest thou this?

⁴¹ Soch thynges sayd Esaias, when he sawe his glorye, & spake of him.

¹⁷ (As it is wrytten: I haue made the a father of many nacyons) euen before God, whom he beleued, whych restoreth the deed vnto lyfe: and calleth those thynges whych be not, as though they were. ¹⁸ Whych Abraham, contrary to hope, beleued in hope, that he shulde be the father of many nacyons, accordynge to that whych was spoken: ¹⁹ euen so shall thy seed be. And he faynted not in the fayth, nor yet consydered his awne body whych was now deed, euen when he was almost an hondred yeare olde: nether yet that Sara was past chyldeberinge. ²⁰ He stackered not at the promes of God thorow vnbelefe: but became stronge in fayth, and gaue God the prayse, ²¹ beynge full certifyed, that he whych had promised the same was able also to make it good. ²² And therfore was it reckened to hym for ryghtewesnes. ²³ Neuertheles it is not wrytten for hym onely, that it was reckened to hy ²⁴ but also for vs, to whom it shalbe counted so that we beleue on hym, that raysed vp Iesus oure Lorde from the deed: ²⁵ whych was delyuered for oure synnes, and was raysed agayne for oure iustificacyon.

¹⁸ But we all beholde in a myrroure the glorye of the Lorde with his face open, and are chaunged vnto the same similitude, from glory to glory, euen as of the sprete of the Lorde.

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.

¹ A songe of the steares. Vnto the lyft I vp myne eyes, thou that dwellest in the heauens.

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,

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.

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:

²⁸ Father, glorify thy name. Then cam ther a voyce from heauen, saying: I haue both glorifyed it, & will glorify it agayne. ²⁹ The people therfore that stode by and heard it, sayde, that it thoundred. Other sayde: an angell spake to hym. ³⁰ Iesus answered and sayde: this voyce came not because of me but for your sakes.

⁶ Be carefull for nothynge: but in all prayer and supplicacyon let youre peticyons be manifeste vnto God with geuynge of thankes.

²² Then was brought to him a blynd & domme man, that was vexed with a deuyll, & he healed him, in somoch, that the blynd and domme, both spake and sawe. ²³ And all the people were amased, and sayde: Is not this that sonne of Dauid? ²⁴ But when the Pharises hearde it, they sayd. This felow dryueth the deuyls no nother wyse out, but by the helpe of Belzebub the chefe of the deuyls.

¹⁷ For God sent not his sonne into the worlde, to condempne the worlde but that the world through him myght be saued.

³⁸ For I came downe from heauen: not to do that I will, but that he will, whych hath sent me.

²⁸ Then cryed Iesus in the temple (as he taught) saying: ye both knowe me, and whence I am ye knowe. And I am not come of my selfe: but he that sent me is true, whom ye knowe not. ²⁹ But I knowe him for I am of him, & he hath sent me.

¹⁶ And yf I iudge, my iudgement is true. For I am not alone: but I & the father that sent me.

²⁹ and he that sent me, is wt me. The father hath not lefte me alone, for I do all wayes those thinges that please him.

⁴² Iesus sayd vnto them: yf God were youre father, truly ye wolde loue me. For I proceaded forth, and came from God. Nether came I of my selfe, but he sent me:

²⁴ Then agayne called they the man that was blynde, and sayd vnto hym: Geue God the prayse: we knowe that thys man is a synner. ²⁵ He answered therfore, and sayde: Whyther he be a synner or no, I cannot tell. One thynge I am sure of: that where as I was blynde, nowe I se. ²⁶ Then sayde they to hym agayne: What dyd he to the? How opened he thyne eyes? ²⁷ He answered them: I tolde you yer whyle, and ye dyd not heare. Wherfore wold ye heare it agayne? Wyll ye also be his disciples? ²⁸ Then rated they hym, & sayd: Be thou hys disciple. We are Moses disciples. ²⁹ We are sure, that God spake vnto Moses. As for this felowe, we knowe not from whence he is. ³⁰ The man answered, and sayde vnto them: this is a maruelous thing, that ye wote not from whence he is, and yet he hath opened myne eyes. ³¹ For we be sure, that God heareth not synners. But yf eny man be a worshipper of God, and obedient vnto his wyl, him heareth he. ³² Sence the world began was it not hearde, that eny man opened the eyes of one that was borne blynde. ³³ If thys man were not of God, he coulde haue done nothing. ³⁴ They answered, and sayd vnto hym: thou art al together borne in synne, and dost thou teach vs? And they cast him out.

³⁶ concernynge hym whom the father hath sanctifyed, and sent into the worlde) Do ye saye that I blaspheme because I sayde, I am the sonne of God? ³⁷ If I do not the worckes of my father, beleue me not. ³⁸ But yf I do, and yf ye beleue not me, beleue the worckes: that ye maye knowe and beleue, that the father is in me, and I in him.

²² neuerthelesse, nowe I knowe that whatsoeuer thou askest of God, God wyll geue it the.

⁴⁵ Then many of the Iewes which came to Mary (and had sene the thynges which Iesus dyd) beleued on hym. ⁴⁶ But some of them went theyr wayes to the pharises, & tolde them what Iesus had done. ⁴⁷ Then gathered the hye prestes & the pharises a councel, & sayd: what do we? For this man doth many miracles. ⁴⁸ If we lett hym scape thus, al men will beleue on him, and the Romayns shall come, and take awaye both our rowme and the people. ⁴⁹ And one of them named Caiphas (being the hye preste that same yere) sayd vnto them: Ye perceaue nothynge at all, nor consyder, ⁵⁰ that it is expedient for vs, that one man dye for the people, and not that all the people perysshe.

²⁷ Nowe is my soule troubled, and what shall I saye? Father, delyuer me from this houre: but therfore came I vnto thys houre.

⁸ For I haue geuen vnto them the wordes which thou gauest me, and they haue receaued them, and haue knowen surely, that I came out from the: and they haue beleued, that thou diddest send me.

²¹ that they al maye be one, as thou father art in me, and I in the, and that they also maye be one in vs: that the worlde maye beleue, that thou hast sent me:

²⁵ O righteous father, the worlde also hath not knowen the: but I haue knowen the: and these haue knowen, that thou hast sent me.

³¹ These are written, that ye myght beleue, that Iesus is Chryst the sonne of God, and that (in beleuyng) ye myght haue lyfe thorow hys name.

³ For what the lawe could not do (in as moch as it was weake because of the flesshe) that performed God, and sent hys sonne in the similitude of synfull flesshe,

⁴ But when the tyme was full come, God sent hys sonne, made of a woman, and made bonde vnto the lawe,

⁷ which in the dayes of his flesshe, whan he had offered vp prayers and supplicacions, with stronge cryinge and teares (vnto him that was able to saue him from deeth) and was hearde because of hys reuerence,

²⁵ Wherfore, he is able also euer to saue them to the vttemost, that come vnto God by him, seynge he euer lyueth to make intercession for vs.

¹⁴ And we haue sene, & do testifye, that the father sent the sonne to be the sauyour of the worlde.

²¹ And he stretched hym selfe vpon the chylde thre tymes, & called vnto the Lorde, and sayd: O Lorde my God, let this childes soule come into him agayne. ²² And the Lorde hearde the voyce of Elia, and the soule of the chylde came into hym agayne, & he reuyued.

³³ He went in therfore, & shut the dore to the ladd and him, and prayed vnto the Lorde. ³⁴ And went vp & laye vpon the ladd, & put his mouth on his mouth, & his eyes vpon his eyes, & his handes vpon his handes, and whan he so laye vpon the chylde, the flesshe of the chylde waxed warme. ³⁵ And he went agayne, & walked once vp and downe in the house, and then went vp, and layed him selfe vpon him agayne. And then the chylde gasped seuen times and opened his eyes. ³⁶ And he called Gehezi, & sayde: Call for this Sunamite. So he called her: which when she was come in vnto him, he sayde vnto her: take thy sonne.

⁴¹ And they feared exceadingly, and sayde one to another: who is thys? For both wynde and see obeye hym.

⁶ Then sayde Peter: Syluer and golde haue I none such as I haue, geue I the. In the name of Iesus Chryst of Nazareth, ryse vp and walke.

¹² When Peter sawe that, he answered vnto the people. Ye men of Isral, why maruayle ye at this, or why loke ye so on vs, as though by oure awne power or strength we had made thys man go?

³⁴ And Peter sayde vnto hym: Eneas? The Lord Iesu Christ make the whole: aryse, and make thy beed. And he arose immediatly.

⁴⁰ And Peter put them all forth, and kneled downe, and prayde. and turned him to the body, and sayd: Tabitha, aryse. And she opened her eyes, and when she sawe Peter, she sat vp.

³ And God sayde: let there be made lyght, and there was light made.

⁶ The Lord kylleth, and maketh alyue: bryngeth downe to the graue and fetcheth vp agayne.

⁹ For he spake, and it was done: he commaunded, and it stode fast.

⁴³ And he charged them straytely, that no man shuld knowe of it, and commaunded, to geue her meate.

¹⁵ And he that was deed, sat vp, & began to speake. And he delyuered him to his mother.

²⁵ Uerely, verely, I saye vnto you the houre shall come, & nowe it is, when the deed shall heare the voyce of the sonne of God. And they that heare, shall lyue.

³⁰ I and my father are one.

⁴⁰ Then toke they the body of Iesu, & wounde it in lynnen clothes wt the odoures, as the maner of the Iewes is to bury.

⁵ And whan he had stowped downe he sawe the lynnen clothes lyenge, yet went he not in.

⁷ & the napkin that was aboute his heed, not lyinge wt the lynnen clothes, but wrapped together in a place by it selfe.

⁹ & ther sate in a wyndowe a certayne yonge man (named Euticus) beinge fallen into a depe sleepe. And as Paul was preachinge, he was the more ouercome with slepe, and fell downe from the thyrde lofte, & was taken vp deed. ¹⁰ But whan Paul went doune, he fell on him & embrased him and sayde: make nothynge a do, for his lyfe is in hym. ¹¹ So when he was come vp agayne, & had broken the bread & eaten, and talcked a longe whyle (euen tyll the mornyng) at the last he departed. ¹² And they brought the yonge man alyue, & were not a lytell conforted.

¹⁸ & and am a lyue, and was deed. And beholde I am a lyue for euermore & haue the keyes of hell & of deeth.

²³ When he was in Ierusalem at Easter in the feast daye, many beleued on his name, when they sawe his myracles whych he dyd.

³¹ Many of the people beleued on hym & sayde: when Christ commeth, will he do moo myracles then these, that this man hath done?

⁴¹ And many resorted vnto him, and sayd: Iohn dyd no myracle, but all thynges that Iohn spake of this man were true.

⁹ Moche people of the Iewes therfore had knowledge that he was ther. And they came not for Iesus sake onely, but that they myghte se Lazarus also whom he raysed from death. ¹⁰ But the hye prestes helde a councell, that they myght put Lazarus to death also, ¹¹ because that for his sake many of the Iewes went awaye and beleued on Iesus.

¹⁷ The people that was with hym (when he called Lazarus out of his graue, and raysed hym from death) bare recorde. ¹⁸ Therfore mete hym the people also, because they hearde that he had done soche a miracle. ¹⁹ The pharises therfore sayd among them selues: perceaue ye, howe we preuayle nothing? behold, worlde goeth after him.

⁴² Neuertheles, amonge the chefe rulers also, many beleued on hym. But (because of the pharises) they wold not be a knowen of it, lest they shulde be excommunicat.

³⁰ And he sayde: naye father Abraham, but yf one come vnto them from the deed, they wyll repent. ³¹ He sayde vnto him: If they heare not Moses and the Prophetes, nether wyll they beleue, though one rose from deeth agayne.

¹⁵ The man departed & tolde the Iewes, that it was Iesus, which had made hym whole. ¹⁶ And therfore the Iewes dyd persecute Iesus, and sought the meanes to slee him, because he had done these thynges on the Sabboth daye.

¹³ They brought to the pharises, hym that a lytell before was blynde:

³⁷ But though he had done so many miracles before them, yet beleued not they on hym,

²⁵ Then came one and shewed them: beholde, the men that ye put in preson, stande in the temple, and teach the people:

² The kynges of the erth stande vp, and the rulers take councell together agaynst the Lorde, and agaynst hys anoynted. ³ Let vs breake theyr bondes asunder, and cast awaye theyr coardes from vs. ⁴ He that dwelleth in heauen shall laugh them to scorne: the Lorde shall haue them in derisyon.

²² But I say vnto you: that whosoeuer is angrye with hys brother (vnaduysedly) shalbe in daunger of iudgement. And whosoeuer saye vnto hys brother Racha, shalbe in daunger of a councell. But whosoeuer sayeth thou foole, shalbe in daunger of hell fyre.

³ Then assembled together the chefe prestes & the scrybes & the elders of the people vnto the palace of the hye preste, (whych was called Cayphas)

¹ When the mornynge was come, all the chefe prestes and the elders of the people helde a counsayle agaynst Iesus, to put him to deeth, ² and brought him bounde and delyuered him vnto Poncius Pylate the debite.

¹ After two dayes was Easter, and the dayes of swete breed And the hye Prestes and the Scribes sought, how they myghte take hym by crafte, & put him to deeth.

² and the hye Prestes, and Scrybes sought how they myght kyll him, for they feared the people.

⁵⁷ The hye prestes and pharises had geuen a commaundement, that yf eny man knewe wher he were, he shuld shewe it, that they myght take him.

¹⁹ The pharises therfore sayd among them selues: perceaue ye, howe we preuayle nothing? behold, worlde goeth after him.

⁵ And it chaunsed on the morow, that their rulars and elders and Scribes, ⁶ (and Annas the chefe Prest, and Cayphas, and Iohn, and Alexander, & as many as were of the kynred of the hye Prestes) gathered together at Ierusalem.

¹⁶ sayinge: what shall we do to these men? For a manifest sygne is done by them, and is openly knowen to all them that dwell in Ierusalem, and we cannot denye it. ¹⁷ But that it be noysed no farther amonge the people, let vs threaten and charge them, that they speake hence forth to no man in thys name.

²⁷ For of a trueth, agaynst thy holy chylde Iesus (whom thou hast anoynted) both Herode and also Poncius Pylate, which the Gentyls and the people of Israel, gathered them selues together ²⁸ for to do whatsoeuer thy hande and thy counsell determyned before to be done.

²¹ When they hearde that, they entred into the temple early in the mornynge: and taught. But the chefe preste came and they that were with him, and called a counsell together, and all the elders of the chyldren of Israel, and sent men to the preson, to fet them.

²⁴ When the chefe Prest and the ruler of the temple, and the hye Prestes hearde these thynges, they douted of them, wher vnto thys wolde growe.

⁵⁰ a harde fauoured nacyon, whych shall not regarde the person of the olde, nor haue compassyon on the younge. ⁵¹ The same shall eate the frute of thy catell, and the frute of thy londe, vntyll he haue destroyed the: and shall leaue the nether corne, wyne, nor oyle, nether the encrease of thyne oxen, nor the flockes of thy shepe: vntyll he haue brought the to nought. ⁵² And he shall kepe the in, in all thy cyties, vntyll he haue cast downe thy hye walles and stronge holdes, wherin thou trustedst, thorowe out all the lande. And he shall besege the in all thy cyties thorowe out all thy lande, whych the Lorde thy God hath geuen the. ⁵³ And thou shalt eate the frute of thyne awne bodye: the fleshe of thy sonnes, and of thy daughters, whych the Lorde thy God hath geuen the, in that straytenesse and sege, wherwith thyne enemye shall besege the: ⁵⁴ so that it shall greue the man (that is tender & exceadynge delycate amonge you,) to loke on hys brother and vpon hys wyfe that lyeth in hys bosome, and on the remnaunte of hys chyldren, whych he hath yet lefte: ⁵⁵ for feare of geuynge (vnto anye of them) of the fleshe of hys chyldren, whom he shall eate, because he hath nothynge left hym in that straytenesse & sege, wherwith thyne enemye shall besege the in all thy cyties. ⁵⁶ Yee and the woman that is so tender and delycate, that she dare not aduenture to set the sole of her foote vpon the grounde, (for softnesse and tendernesse) shalbe greued to loke on her husbande that lyeth in her bosome, & on her sonne and on her daughter: ⁵⁷ and on hyr after byrthe (that is come out from betwene her legges,) and her chyldren whych she shall beare: For whan all thynges lack, she shall eat them secretly, in the sege & straytenesse, wherwith thyne enemye shall besege the in thy cyties. ⁵⁸ If thou wylt not kepe and do all the wordes of thys lawe (that are wrytten in thys boke,) and feare thys gloryous and fearfull name of the Lorde thy God: ⁵⁹ the Lorde will sende vnto the and thy seed, greate plages and of longe continuaunce, ⁶⁰ euell sycknesses and of longe duraunce. Moreouer he will bringe vpon the all the diseases of Egypte, and those whych thou wast afrayed of shall cleaue vnto the. ⁶¹ And all maner syckenesses, and all maner plages whych are not wrytten in the boke of thys lawe, wyll the Lorde brynge vpon the, vntyll he bringe the to noughte. ⁶² And ye shalbe lefte fewe in nombre, where before ye were as the starres of heauen in multytude: because thou woldest not herken vnto the voyce of the Lorde thy God. ⁶³ And it shall come to passe, that as the Lord reioysed ouer you, to do you good, & to multiplye you: euen so he wyll reioyse ouer you, to destroye you, & to brynge you to nought. And ye shalbe wasted from of the land, whether thou goest to enioye it. ⁶⁴ And the Lorde shall scater the amonge all nacions, from the one ende of the worlde vnto the other, and there thou shalt serue straunge goddes, whych thou nor thy fathers haue knowne: euen wodd and stone. ⁶⁵ And amonge these nacyons thou shalt fynde no ease, neyther shall the sole of thy foote haue rest. But the Lorde shall geue the there an vnquyet herte, and dasyng eyes, and sorowe of mynde. ⁶⁶ And thy lyfe shall hange before the and thou shalt feare both daye, and nyghte, & shalt haue no trust in thy lyfe. ⁶⁷ In the mornynge thou shalt saye, wolde God it were nyght. And at nyght thou shalt saye: wolde God it were mornynge: for feare, of thyne harte whych thou shall feare & for the syghte of thyne eyes, whych thou shalt se. ⁶⁸ And the Lorde shall brynge the into Egipt agayne wyth shyppes, by the waye which I bad the, that thou shuldest se it no moare. And there ye shalbe solde vnto youre enemies, for bondmen and bondwemen: & no man shall bye you.

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

⁷ Aryse, O thou swearde, vpon my shepherde, and vpon the Prince of my people, saieth the Lorde of hostes. Smyte the shepherd, and the shepe shalbe scatred abrode, and so wyll I turne myne hande to the lytle ones. ⁸ And it shall come to passe (sayeth the Lorde) that in all the land two partes shalbe roted out, but the thyrde parte shall remayne therin.

¹ Beholde, the daye of the Lorde commeth, that thou shalt be spoyled and robbed, ² for I will gather together all the Heathen to fight agaynst Ierusalem: so that the citie shalbe wonne, the houses spoyled, and the wemen defiled. The halfe of the citie shal go awaye into captiuite, and the residue of the people shal not be caried out of the citie.

⁴⁰ When the Lord therfore of the vineyard commeth, what wil he do vnto those husbandmen? ⁴¹ They sayd vnto him: For asmoch as they be euell, he will cruellye destroye them, & will let out his vineyard vnto other husbandmen, which shall delyuer hym the frute in due seasons. ⁴² Iesus sayeth vnto them: dyd ye neuer reade in the scriptures The stone whych the bylders refused, the same is become the heade of the corner: thys is the Lordes doinge, & it is meruelous in youre eyes.

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

³⁵ that vpon you maye come all the ryghteous bloude whych hath bene shedd vpoon the erthe, from the bloude of ryghteous. Abel, vnto the bloude of Zachary sonne of Barachias, whom ye slewe betwene the temple & the altare. ³⁶ Uerely I saye vnto you: all these thynges shall come vpon this generacion. ³⁷ O Ierusalem, Ierusalem, thou that kyllest the prophetes, & stonest them which are sent vnto the: how often wolde. I haue gathered thy chyldren together, euen as the henne gathereth her chyckens vnder her wynges, & ye wolde not? ³⁸ Beholde youre house is left vnto you desolate.

²⁵ Then answered all the people, and sayd his bloud be on vs, and on oure children.

¹² Those that are besyde the waye, are they that heare, then commeth the deuyll, and taketh a waye the worde out of their hertes, lest they shulde beleue and be saued.

⁵² Wo vnto you lawears: for ye haue taken awaye the keye of knowledge, ye entred not in youre selues, and them that came in, ye forbad.

⁴¹ And when he was come neare, he behelde the cytie, and wept on it, ⁴² sayinge: If thou haddest knowen those thynges whych belonge vnto thy peace, euen in thys thy daye, thou woldst take hede. But now are they hydde from thyne eyes. ⁴³ For the dayes shall come vpon the, that thy enemyes also shall cast a banke aboute the, and compasse the rounde, and kepe the in on euery syde, ⁴⁴ and make the euen wyth the grounde, and thy chyldren which are in the. And they shall not leaue in the one stone vpon another, because thou knowest not the tyme of thy visitacyon.

²⁰ And when ye se Ierusalem beseged wyth an hoste, then be sure that the desolacyon, of the same is nye. ²¹ Then let them which are in Iewrye, flye to the mountaynes. And let them whych are in the myddes of it, departe out. And let not them that are in other countreyes, enter therin. ²² For these be the dayes of vengeaunce, that all thynges which are wrytten, maye be fulfylled. ²³ But wo vnto them that be with chylde, & to them that geue sucke in those dayes: for there shalbe greate trouble in the lande, and wrath ouer all this people. ²⁴ And they shall fall thorow the edge of the swearde, and shalbe ledd awaye captyue into all nacions. And Ierusalem shalbe troden downe of the gentyls, vntyll the tyme of the gentyls be fulfylled.

²⁸ But Iesus turned backe vnto them, and sayd: Ye daughters of Ierusalem, wepe not for me: but wepe for youre selues, and for youre chyldren. ²⁹ For beholde, the dayes wyl come, in the which they shall saye: happy are the baren and the wombes that neuer bare, and the pappes which neuer gaue sucke. ³⁰ Then shall they begynne to saye to the mountaynes: fall on vs: and to the hylles, couer vs. ³¹ For yf they do thys in a grene tree, what shalbe done in the drye?

⁷ The same cam as a wytnes to beare wytnes of the lyght, that all men through hym myght beleue.

²⁸ sayinge: dyd not we straytely commaunde you: that ye shuld not teach in this name? And behold, ye haue fylled Ierusalem with youre doctryne, and intende to brynge this mans bloud vpon vs.

³⁸ And now I saye vnto you: refraine your selues from these men, and lett them alone. For yf this councel or this worke be of men, it wyll come to naught. ³⁹ But and yf it be of God, ye cannot destroye it, lest haply ye be founde to stryue agaynst God. ⁴⁰ And to hym agreed the other: and whan they had called the apostles, they bet them, and commaunded that they shulde not speake in the name of Iesu, and let them go.

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.

¹² If thou seest a man that is wyse in his awne conceate, there is more hope in a foole then in hym.

²⁰ Wo be vnto them that call euell good, and good euell, which make darcknesse lyght, & lyght darcknesse, that make sowre swete, & swete sowre. ²¹ Wo be vnto them that are wyse in theyr awne syght, and thynke them selues to haue vnderstandynge. ²² Wo be vnto them, that are strong to suppe out wyne and experte men to sett vp dronckenesse. ²³ These geue sentence with the vngodly for rewardes, but comdempne the iust cause of the ryghteous.

² (when Anna and Cayphas were the hye prestes) the worde of the Lorde came vnto Iohn the sonne of Zacharias in the wyldernes.

⁴⁸ Doth eny of the rulers or of the Pharises beleue on him? ⁴⁹ But this comen people whych knowe not the lawe, are cursed,

⁵¹ Thys spake he not of him selfe, but beynge hye preste that same yere, he prophesied that Iesus shulde dye for the people,

¹³ and led him awaye to Anna fyrst: for he was father in lawe vnto Cayphas, which was the hye Preste that same yere. ¹⁴ Cayphas was he, which gaue counsell to the Iewes that it was expedient, that one man shulde dye for the people.

⁶ (and Annas the chefe Prest, and Cayphas, and Iohn, and Alexander, & as many as were of the kynred of the hye Prestes) gathered together at Ierusalem.

²⁰ Where is the wyse? Where is the scrybe? Where is the disputer of this worlde?

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)

¹⁸ Let no man deceaue him selfe. If eny man seme wyse to hym selfe amonge you, let hym become a foole in this worlde, that he maye be wyse. ¹⁹ For the wysdom of thys worlde is folyshnes with God. For it is wrytten: he compaseth the wyse in theyr craftynes.

⁴⁶ and sayde vnto them: Thus is it wrytten, and thus it behoued Christ to suffre, and to ryse agayne from deeth the thyrde daye,

⁴⁸ If we lett hym scape thus, al men will beleue on him, and the Romayns shall come, and take awaye both our rowme and the people.

¹⁴ Cayphas was he, which gaue counsell to the Iewes that it was expedient, that one man shulde dye for the people.

¹² And from thence forth sought Pylate meanes to loose hym: but the Iewes cryed sayinge: yf thou let him go, thou art not Cesars frende. For whosoeuer maketh hym selfe a kynge, is agaynst Cesar.

⁸ and not rather (as men speake euyll of vs, and as some affyrme that we saye) let vs do euyll, that good maye come therof. Whose damnacyon is iuste.

³⁰ And thou shalte put in the brestlappe of iudgement Urim and Thumin: and they shalbe euen upon Aarons hert, when he goeth in before the Lord: and Aaron shall beare the iudgement of the children of Israel vpon his herte before the Lorde allwaye.

²⁸ And the Lorde opened the mouth of the asse, & she sayed vnto Balaam: what haue I done vnto the, that thou hast smytten me nowe thre tymes?

² And Balaam lyfte vp hys eyes, and loked vpon Israel as he laye accordyng to his trybes, and the spirite of God came vpon him.

¹⁴ And nowe beholde, I go vnto my people: come therfore, and I wyll aduertise the, what this people shal do to thy folke in the later dayes. ¹⁵ And he toke vp hys parable and sayde: Balaam the sonne of Beor hath sayde, the man whose eye is open, hath sayde. ¹⁶ He hath sayde that heareth the wordes of God, and hath the knowledge of the most hye, and beholdeth the visyon of the almyghtie, and that falleth with open eyes: ¹⁷ I shall se hym, but not nowe I shall beholde him, but not nye. There shall come a starre of Iacob, and ryse a sceptre of Israel, and shal smyte the costes of Moab & vndermyne all the chyldren of Seth. ¹⁸ And Edom shalbe possessed, and Seir shall fall to the possessyon of theyr enemyes, and Israel shall do manfully. ¹⁹ Out of Iacob shall come he that shal haue dominion, and shall destroye the remnaunt of the cytie. ²⁰ And whan he loked on Amaleck, he toke vp his parable, & sayde: Amaleck is the fyrst of the nacynos but hys latter ende shall perysh vtterly. ²¹ And he loked on the Kenytes and toke vp hys parable, and sayde: stronge is thy dwellynge place, and thou puttest thy nest in a rocke, ²² Neuerthelesse the kenyte shalbe roted out, vntyll Assur take the presoner: ²³ And he toke vp his parable and sayd: Alas, Who shall lyue when God doeth thys? ²⁴ The shyppes also shall come out of the coste of Italy, and subdue Assur, & subdue Eber, and he hym selfe shall perishe at the last. ²⁵ And Balaam rose vp, and went and returned to hys place: and Balac also went hys waye.

²⁷ And the chyldren of Israel asked the Lord: for there was the arcke of the apoyntment of God, ²⁸ in those dayes. And Phinehes the sonne of Eleazar, the sonne of Aaron waytynge vpon it at that tyme sayde: shall I get me vp to go out any moare to batell agaynst the chyldren of BenIamin my brethren, or shall I cease? The Lorde sayde: go, for to morowe I will delyuer them into youre handes.

⁹ And Dauid hauing knowlege that Saul imagened myschef against him, sayd, to Abiathar the preast: Bryng the Ephod.

⁶ And whan Saul asked councell of the Lorde, the Lorde answered him not, nether hy dreames, nor by Urim nor yet by prophetes.

⁵ and punished where as he (not wythstandynge) was wounded for oure offences, and smytten for oure wyckednes. For the chastysement of oure peace was layde vpon him, and wyth hys strypes are we healed. ⁶ As for vs, we haue gone all astraye (like shepe) euery one hath turned his awne way. But the Lorde hath heaped together vpon him the iniquitie of vs all. ⁷ He suffred violence and was euell intreated, & dyd not yet open his mouth. He shalbe led as a shepe to be slayne, yet shall he be as styll as a lambe before the shearer, and not open hys mouth. 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,

²⁶ After these .lxij. wekes, shall Christ be slayne, and they shall haue no pleasure in hym. Then shall there come a people with the Prince, and destroye the cyte & the Sanctuary: and hys ende shall come as the water floude. But the desolacyon shall contynue tyll the ende of the battell.

²² Many wyll saye to me in that daye: Lord, Lorde, haue we not prophecyed thorow thy name? And thorow thy name haue cast out deuyls? And done many miraracles thorow thy name? ²³ And then wyll I knowledge vnto them. I neuer knewe you. Departe fro me, ye that worcke iniquyte.

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

¹⁵ As my father knoweth me, euen so knowe I also my father. And I geue my lyfe for the shepe:

²⁵ whom God hath set forth to be the obtayner of mercy thorow fayth, by the meanes of hys bloude, to declare hys ryghteousnes, in that he forgeueth the synnes that are passed, whych God dyd suffre, ²⁶ to shewe at thys tyme hys ryghtewesnes, that he might be counted iust, and the iustifyar of hym whych beleueth on Iesus.

² And though I coulde prophesy, and vnderstode all secretes, and all knowledge: yee yf I haue all fayth, so that I can moue mountayns oute of their places, and yet haue no loue, I am nothynge.

²¹ for he made him to be synne for vs, which knewe no synne, that we by his meanes shulde be that ryghtewesnes, which before God is alowed.

¹³ Christ hath deliuered vs from the curse of the lawe, in as moche as he was made accursed for vs: For it is written: cursed is euery one, that hangeth on tree,

⁴ But when the tyme was full come, God sent hys sonne, made of a woman, and made bonde vnto the lawe, ⁵ to redeme them which were bonde vnto the lawe: that we (thorowe eleccion) might receaue the inheritaunce that belongeth vnto the naturall sonnes.

²⁴ whych hys awne selfe bare our synnes in his body on the tree, that we beyng delyuered from synne, shuld lyue vnto ryghteousnes. By whose strypes ye were healed.

¹⁸ For as moch as Christ hath once suffered for synnes, the iust for the vniust, to bring vs to God, and was kylled, as pertayninge to the flesshe: but was quyckened in the sprete.

¹⁵ which haue forsaken the ryght waye, and are gone astraye folowynge the waye of Balaam the sonne of Bosor, which loued the rewarde of vnryghtewesnes: ¹⁶ but was rebuked of hys iniquitie. The tame and domme beast, speakynge with mannes voyce, forbade the madnesse of the Prophete. ¹⁷ These are welles without water: cloudes that are, caried with a tempest, to whom the myst of darcknes is reserued for euer.

¹⁰ The sceptre shall not departe from Iuda, and a lawgeuer from betwene hys fete, vntyll. Sylocome. And vnto hym shall the gatherynge of the people be.

¹⁵ My strength is dryed vp lyke a potsherde, & my tonge cleueth to my gummes: and thou shalt brynge me into the dust of death.

²⁷ All the endes of the worlde shall remembre them selues, & be turned vnto the Lorde, & all the kynreds of the nacions, shall worshyppe before him.

¹⁹ And blessed be the name of hys maiesty for euer, and all the erth shalbe filled with his maiestye. Amen, Amen.

²² When the people are gathered together, & the kyngdomes also to serue the Lorde. ²³ He brought downe my strength in my iourney, and shortened my dayes.

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. ¹² And he shall sett vp a token amonge the Gentyles, and gather together the dispersed of Israel, yee & the out castes of Iuda from the foure corners of the worlde.

⁶ And he sayde: It is but a small thinge that thou art my seruaunt, to sett vp the kynreddes of Iacob, and to restore the destruccyon of Israel. For I haue made the the light of the Gentyls, that thou mayst be my health vnto the ende of the worlde.

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.

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.

⁸ Thus sayeth the Lorde God whych gathereth together the scatred of Israel: I will brynge yet another congregacyon to hym.

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.

¹⁶ Therfore tell them, thus sayeth the Lorde God: I wyll sende you farre of amonge the Gentiles, and skatre you amonge the nacyons, & I wyll halowe you but a lytle, in the landes where ye shall come. ¹⁷ Tell them also, thus sayeth the Lorde God: I wyll gather you agayne out of the nacyons, and brynge you from the countrees where ye be scatred, and wyll geue you the lande of Israel agayne.

¹² Like as a shepherde among the flocke seketh after the shepe that are scatered abroade, euen so wil I seke after my shepe, & gather them together out of all places, where they haue bene scatred in the cloudy and darcke daye.

¹⁰ And though the nombre of the chyldren of Israel be as the sande of the see, whych can nether be measured ner tolde: yet in the place where it is sayde vnto them ye be not my people: euen there shall it be thus reported of them they be the chyldren of the lyuynge God.

³¹ When the sonne of man commeth in his glorye, & all the holy angels wyth him, then shall he syt vpon the seate of hys glorie, ³² and before him shalbe gathered all nacions. And he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherde deuydeth the shepe from the goates: ³³ and he shall set the shepe on hys ryght hande, but the goates on the lyfte. ³⁴ Then shall the Kynge saye to them that shalbe on hys ryghte hande: Come ye blessed of my father, inheret the kyngdome prepared for you from the begynninge of the worlde.

³² A lyght to lighten the gentyls, & the glory of thy people Israel.

²⁹ The nexte daye, Iohn seeth Iesus comminge vnto hym, and sayeth beholde the lambe of God, whych taketh awaye the synne of the worlde.

¹⁶ & other shepe I haue, which are not of thys fold. Them also must I bring, and they shall heare my voyce, and ther shalbe one fold and one shephearde.

³² And I (yf I were lyft vp from the erth) will drawe all men vnto me.

¹⁰ for I am with the, & noman shall inuade the that shall hurte the. For I haue moch people in this cytie.

²⁹ Is he the God of the Iewes onely? Is he not also the God of the Gentyls? Yes, euen of the Gentyls also.

²⁹ For those which he knewe before, he also ordeyned before, that they shulde be lyke fassyoned vnto the shape of hys sonne, that he myght be the fyrst begotten sonne amonge many brethren. ³⁰ Moreouer, whom he appoynted before, them also he called. And whom he hath called, them also he iustyfyed: and whom he iustyfyed, them he also gloryfyed.

²⁵ As he sayth also to Osee? I wyll call them my people which were not my people: and her beloued which was not beloued, (and her to haue optayned mercy, that had not optayned mercy) ²⁶ And it shall come to passe, that in the place where it was sayde vnto them: ye are not my people: there shall they be called the chyldren of the lyuynge God.

⁵ Which ordeyned vs before thorowe Iesus Christ to be heyres vnto hym selfe, accordinge to the good pleasure of hys wyll,

⁹ And hath opened vnto vs the mystery of hys wyll, accordynge to hys good pleasure, which he had purposed in hym selfe, ¹⁰ to haue it declared whan the tyme was full come, that he myght set vp all thynges perfectly by Christ (both the thynges which are in heuen, and the thynges which are in earth)

¹⁴ For he is oure peace, which hath made of both one, and hath broken downe the wall that was a stoppe betwene vs, ¹⁵ and hath also put awaye thorowe his flesshe, the cause of hatred, euen the lawe of commaundementes contayned in the lawe wrytten, for to make of twayne one newe man in hym selfe, so makynge peace, ¹⁶ and to reconcyle both vnto God in one body thorowe the crosse, & slewe hatred therby: ¹⁷ and came, and preached peace to you which were a farre of, and to them that were nye. ¹⁸ For thorowe hym we both haue an intraunce, in one sprete vnto the father. ¹⁹ Now therfore, ye are not straungers, and foreyners: but citesyns with the sayntes & of the housholde of God: ²⁰ and are buylt vpon the foundacyon of the Apostles and Prophetes, Iesus Chryst him selfe beynge the heed corner stone, ²¹ in whom what buyldynge soeuer is coupled together, it groweth vnto an holy temple in the Lorde, ²² in whom ye also are buylt together, to be an habitacion of God thorowe the ghost.

¹¹ accordynge to the eternall purpose, which he wrought in Christ Iesu oure Lord,

²⁰ and by him to reconcyle all thinge vnto him selfe, and to set at peace by hym thorowe the bloude of hys crosse, both thynges in heauen and thinges in erth. ²¹ And you which were somtyme farre of and enemyes, because youre myndes were set in euyll worckes hath he nowe yet reconcyled ²² in the body of hys flesshe thorowe deeth, to make you holy, and vnblameable, & without faut in hys awne syght, ²³ yf ye contynue grounded and stablysshed in the fayth, and be not moued awaye from the hope of the Gospell, wherof ye haue herde, howe that it is preached amonge all creatures which are vnder heauen, wherof I Paul am made a mynyster.

¹³ But we are bounde to geue thankes alwey to God for you (brethren beloued of the Lorde) for because that God hath from the begynnynge chosen you to saluacyon, thorowe sanctifyinge of the sprete, and thorow beleuing of the trueth, ¹⁴ wher vnto he called you by oure Gospell, to obtayne the glorye of oure Lord Iesu Christ.

¹ Iames the seruaunt of God & of the Lorde Iesus Christ, sendeth gretyng to the twelue trybes which are scattered abroade.

¹ Peter an Apostle of Iesu Chryst, to them that dwell here and there as straun thorowout Pontus, Galacia, Capadocya: Asia, and Bethynia, elect

² & he it is that obtayneth grace for oure synnes, not for oure synnes onely: but also for the synnes of all the worlde.

⁹ & they songe a new songe, saying: thou art worthy to take the boke, & to open the seales therof: for thou wast kylled, & hast redemed vs by thy bloud out of all kynredes, & tonges, & people, & nacyons,

⁹ After this I behelde, & lo, a gret multitude (which noman coulde nombre) of all nacyons & people, & tonges, stode before the seate, & before the lambe, clothed with longe white garmentes, & palmes in their handes, ¹⁰ & cryed with a lowde voyce, sayinge: saluacyon be asscribed to him that sytteth vpon the seate of oure God, & vnto the lambe.

¹⁶ And from that time forth it came to passe that the half parte of the yong men did the laboure, & the other half parte of them helde the speares, shyldes, bowes, and brestplates: & the rulers stode behynde all the house of Iuda,

²¹ Then reproued I them sore, and sayde vnto them: why tary ye all nyght about the wall? If ye do it once agayne, I wyll laye handes vpon you. From that tyme forth came they nomore on the Saboth.

² The kynges of the erth stande vp, and the rulers take councell together agaynst the Lorde, and agaynst hys anoynted.

¹³ I became a reprofe amonge all myne enemyes, but specially amonge my neyghbours, and they of myne acquayntaunce were afrayed of me: & they that dyd se me without, conueyed them selues fro me.

¹⁰ Go not farre fro me, O God: my God, haste the to helpe me.

⁴ Thus haue they rewarded me euell for good, and hatred for my good wyll. ⁵ Set thou an vngodly man to be ruler ouer hym, and let Satan stande at his ryght hande.

² Blessed be the name of the Lorde, from thys tyme forth for euermore.

⁴ Then sayde the prynces vnto the kynge: Syr, we beseche you let thys man be put to death. For thus he discorageth the handes of the soudiers that be in thys cytie, and the handes of all the people, when he speaketh soche wordes vnto them. This man verely laboureth not for peace of the people, but myschefe.

¹⁵ Then Ieremy answered Zedekiah: Yf I be playne vnto the, thou wilt cause me to suffre death: If I geue the councell, thou wylt not folowe me.

²¹ From that tyme forth beganne Iesus to shewe vnto his disciples, how that he must go vnto Ierusalem, & suffer many thinges of the elders, & hye Prestes, & Scribes, & must be kylled, and be raysed agayne the thyrde daye.

⁴⁶ And no man was able to answere him anye thing: nether durste eny man (from that daye forth) aske him any moo questions.

⁵⁹ The chefe Prestes and the elders, and all the councell, sought false witnes agaynst Iesus (for to put hym to deeth)

⁶ And the Pharises departed, and streight waye gathred a councell (with them that belonged to Herode) agaynst hym, that they myght destroye him.

⁴⁷ Then gathered the hye prestes & the pharises a councel, & sayd: what do we? For this man doth many miracles.

¹⁰ But the hye prestes helde a councell, that they myght put Lazarus to death also,

³³ When they hearde that, they claue asunder, and sought meanes to slee them.

²³ And after a good whyle, the Iewes toke councell together, to kill him.

²³ And it happened after two yere, that Absalom had shepe shearers in the playne of Hazor besyde the trybe of Ephraim, & bad all the kynges sonnes,

¹⁹ And Abia folowed after Ieroboam, and toke cities from hym, Bethel wt the townes belongyng therto, Iesana with the townes that longed therto, and Ephron with her townes.

¹ As sone as the Lord knewe, how the Pharises had hearde, that Iesus made and baptised moo disciples then Iohn ² (though that Iesus him selfe baptised not: but his disciples) ³ he lefte Iewry, and departed agayne into Galile.

¹ After these thinges, Iesus went about in Galile: for he wolde not go aboute in Iewry because that the Iewes sought to kyll hym.

⁴ For ther is no man that doeth eny thynge in secret, and he hym selfe seketh to be knowne openlye. If thou do soch thinges, shewe thy selfe to the world.

¹⁰ But as sone as his brethren were come, then went he also vp vnto the feast not openly: but as it were preuely.

¹³ How be it no man spake openly of him, for feare of the Iewes.

⁴⁰ & went awaye agayne beyonde Iordan, into the place wher Iohn before had baptysed, and there he abode.

²⁰ Iesus answered hym: I spake openly in the worlde. I euer taught in the Synagoge, and in the temple, whyther all the Iewes resorte, and in secret haue I sayde nothyng.

² Than sayde Iacob vnto hys housholde and to all that were wyth hym: put awaye the straunge goddes that are amonge you and be cleane, and chaunge youre garmentes,

¹¹ Of this maner shall ye eate it: with your loynes gyrded, and your shoes on your fete, and your staues in your handes. And ye shall eate it in haste: for it is the Lordes passeouer: ¹² for I wyll passe thorowe the lande of Egipt this same nyght, and wyll smytte all the first borne in the land of Egipt, both of man and beaste, and vpon all the goddes of Egipt will I the Lord do execution. ¹³ And the bloude shalbe vnto you a token in the houses wherin ye are. And when I se the bloud, I will passe ouer you, and the plage shal not be vpon you to destroye you, when I smyte the lande of Egipte. ¹⁴ And this daye shalbe vnto you a remembraunce: and ye shall kepe it holy vnto the Lorde, euen thorowout youre generatyons shall ye kepe it holy daie, that it be a custome for euer.

¹⁰ And the Lorde sayd vnto Moses: Go vnto the people, and sanctifye them to daye and to morowe, and let them wash theyr clothes:

¹⁴ And Moses went downe from the mounte vnto the people, and sanctifyed them, and they wasshed theyr clothes: ¹⁵ And he sayd vnto the people: be redye agaynst the thyrde daye, and come not at youre wyues.

⁶ And certayne men were defyled vpon the soule of a man, that they myght not offer Passeouer the same daye. And they came before Moses and Aaron the same daye.

⁵ He answered: Yee, I am come to offer vnto the Lorde. Sanctifye youre selues, & come with me to the offerynge. And he sanctifyed Isai & his sonnes, & bad them to the offerynge.

¹⁷ For there were many in the congregacion, that were not sanctifyed: & the Leuites dyd sley Passeouer for al that were not cleane, & that myght not execute the holy worke of the Lorde. ¹⁸ For many of the people, and very many: out of Ephraim, Manasse, Isakar and Zabulon were not cleansed, & yet dyd eate Passeouer agaynst the lawe apoynted. Wherfore Hezekia prayed for them, and sayd: the good Lorde ¹⁹ be mercyful vnto them: For he set hys whole hert, to seke the Lorde God euen the God of his fathers: but all the other dyd not so accordyng to vnfayned holynesse. ²⁰ And the Lorde hearde Hezekia, and healed the people.

¹ And when the seuenth moneth came, and the children of Israel were nowe in theyr cyties, the people came togeather (euen as one man) vnto Ierusalem. ² And there stode vp Iesua the sonne of Iosedec and his brethren the prestes, and Zorobabel the sonne of Salathiel & hys brethren, and buylded the aultar of the God of Israel, to offre burntoffrynges theron, as it is writen in the lawe of Moses the man of God ³ and the aultar set they vpon hys socketes (for ther was a fearfulnes amonge them because of the nacions and landes) therfore they offered burntoffringes theron vnto the Lord in the morning & at euen. ⁴ And they helde the feaste of tabernacles as it is writen, & offered burnt sacrifices dayly, acording to the nombre & custome, daye by daye. ⁵ Afterwarde they offred dayly burntoffringes also, & in the new mones and in all the feast dayes that were consecrate vnto the Lorde, and for all them whych dyd (of their awne fre wyll) offre vnto the Lord. ⁶ From the first daye of the seuenth moneth beganne they to offre burntsacryfyces vnto the Lorde: euen whan the foundacyon of the temple of the Lord was not yet layed.

¹ And all the people geathered them selues together as one man in the strete that was before the watergate, and they sayde vnto Esdras the scrybe, that he shulde fetch the boke of the lawe of Moses, whych the Lorde commaunded to Israel. ² And Esdras the preast brought the lawe before the congregacion both of men and wemen, and all that coulde vnderstande dyd herken vnto it, vpon the fyrst daye of the seuenth moneth, ³ and he red therin in the strete that was before the watergate (from the mornynge vntyll the noone daye) before men and wemen that dyd herken to it: and the eares of all the people were inclyned vnto the booke of the lawe. ⁴ And Esdras the scrybe stode vpon an hye pulpit of wood, whych they had made for the preachinge, & besyde hym stode Mathathia, Sema, Anania, Uriah, Helkia, and Maaseia, on hys ryghte hande: and on hys lefte hande stode Pedaia, Misael, Malchia, Hasum, Hasebadana, Zachary, and Mesulam. ⁵ And Esdras opened the boke before all the people, for he stode aboue all the people. And when he opened it, all the people stode vp. ⁶ And Esdras praysed the Lorde the greate God. And all the people answered Amen, Amen, with their handes vp, & bowed them selues, and worshypped the Lorde, fallynge downe vpon their faces to the grounde. ⁷ And Iesua, Baam, Serabiah, Iamin, Acub, Sebathai, Hadaia, Maasia, Celita, Azaria, Iozabad, Hanan, Pelaia: and the Leuites caused the people to geue hede vnto the lawe, & the people stode in their place. ⁸ And they red in the boke of the lawe of God distinctly & playnly, so that men vnderstode the thinge that was red. ⁹ And Nehemiah (which is Hathirsatha) & Esdras the preast & scrybe, and the Leuites that caused the people to take hede, sayd vnto all the people: thys daye is holy vnto the Lorde youre God: be not ye sory, and wepe not. For all the people wepte, when they herde the wordes of the lawe. ¹⁰ And he sayd vnto them: go youre waye, and eate the fat, & drincke the swete, & sende parte vnto them also that haue not prepared them selues: for thys daye is holy vnto oure Lorde, be not ye sory therfore: for the ioye of the Lorde is youre strength. ¹¹ And the Leuites stylled all the people, and sayd: holde youre peace, for the daye is holy, vexe not ye youre selues. ¹² And all the people wente theyr waye to eate and drincke, and to sende parte vnto other, and to make greate myrth, because they had vnderstand the wordes that were declared vnto them.

⁵ And it fortuned, that when they had passed ouer the tyme of their bancketting rounde aboute, Iob sent for them, and sanctified them, and gat vp early, and offered for euery one a brentofferynge. For Iob sayde: lest peraduenture my sonnes haue done some offence, & haue bene vnthankfull to God in their hertes. Thus did Iob euery daye.

⁶ I will washe my handes in innocencye, O Lorde, and so will I go to thyne aulter.

¹ And it came to passe, when Iesus had fynisshed all these sayinges he sayde vnto his discyples:

⁶ And ther were standynge there, syxe waterpottes of stone after the maner of the purifyenge of the Iewes, contaynynge two or thre fyrkins a pece.

¹³ And the Iewes ester was euen at hande, and Iesus went vp to Ierusalem,

¹ After thys was there a feast daye of the Iewes, and Iesus went vp to Ierusalem.

⁴ And easter, a feast of the Iewes was nye.

⁸ Go ye vp vnto this feast, I will not go vp yet vnto this feast, for my tyme is not yet full come. ⁹ whan he had sayde these wordes vnto them he abode styll in Galile. ¹⁰ But as sone as his brethren were come, then went he also vp vnto the feast not openly: but as it were preuely.

¹ Then Iesus (syxe dayes before Easter) came to Bethany, wher Lazarus had ben deed, whome he raysed from death.

¹ Before the feaste of Easter, when Iesus knewe that hys houre was come, that he shuld depart out of this world vnto the father. When he loued his which were in the worlde, vnto the ende he loued them.

²⁸ Then led they Iesus from Cayphas into the hall of iudgement. It was in the mornynge, & they them selues went not into the iudgement hall lest they shulde be defyled, but that they myght eate Passeouer.

¹⁸ in the which they founde me purifyed in the temple, nether with multitude, nor yet with vnquyetnesse. Howbeit there were certen Iewes out of Asia,

²⁸ But let a man examen him selfe, and so let him eate of the breed, and drincke of the cup.

¹³ For yf the bloud of oxen and of gotes & the asshes of a yong kow, when it was sprinckcled, purifieth the vnclene, as touchyng the purifyinge of the flesshe: ¹⁴ how moch moare shall the bloud of Christ (which thorow the eternall sprete, offered him self without spot to God) pourge youre conscience from deed workes, for to serue the lyuinge God?

⁸ Drawe nye to God, and he will drawe nye to you. Clense your handes ye siners, & pourge your hertes ye waueryng mynded.

¹¹ Then sought him the Iewes at the feast, & sayde: where is he?

⁷ Then after that, sayd he to his disciples: let vs go into Iewry agayne. ⁸ Hys disciples sayde vnto hym: Master, the Iewes lately sought to stone the, and wylt thou go thyther agayne?

⁴ Thus haue they rewarded me euell for good, and hatred for my good wyll.

¹⁶ And therfore the Iewes dyd persecute Iesus, and sought the meanes to slee him, because he had done these thynges on the Sabboth daye. ¹⁷ And Iesus answered them. My father worketh hitherto, and I worke. ¹⁸ Therfore, the Iewes sought the more to kyll him, not onely because he had broken the Sabboth: but sayde also that God was hys father and made hym selfe equall with God.

²² Suche wordes spake hys father and mother, because they feared the Iewes. For the Iewes had conspyred all ready, that yf eny man dyd confesse that he was Christ, he shulde be excommunicat out of the synagoge.
