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

³ And the Scribes & Pharises brought vnto hym a woman taken in aduoutry: & whan they had set hir in the myddes, ⁴ they saye vnto hym: Master, thys woman was taken in aduoutry, euen as the dede was a doing. ⁵ Moses in the lawe commaunded vs, that suche shulde be stoned. But what sayest thou? ⁶ This they sayde to tempt him that they myght accuse him. But Iesus stouped downe, and with his fynger wrote on the grounde. ⁷ So, whan they contynued askynge him, he lyfte him selfe vp, and sayde vnto them: let him that is amonge you without synne, cast the fyrst stone at her. ⁸ And agayne he stowped downe, & wrote on the grounde.

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.

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.

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.

¹ At that tyme Iesus went on the Sabboth dayes thorowe the corne, and hys discyples were an hongred, and beganne to plucke the eares of corne, and to eate. ² But when the Pharises sawe it, they sayde vnto hym: Beholde, thy discyples do that which is not lawfull to do vpon the Sabboth daye. ³ But he sayde vnto them. Haue ye not read what Dauid dyd, when he was an hongred, & they that were with him? ⁴ How he entred into the house of God, and did eate the shewe breades which were not lawfull for hym to eate, nether for them which were with hym, but onely for the prestes? ⁵ Or haue ye not read in the lawe, how that (on the Sabath dayes) the preastes in the temple breake the Saboth, and are blamelesse? ⁶ But I saye vnto you: that in this place is one greater then the temple. ⁷ Wherfore, yf ye wyst what this meaneth I require mercy, & not sacrifice: ye wolde not haue condemned innocentes. ⁸ For the sonne of man also, is Lord euen of the Sabath daye. ⁹ And he departed thence and went into their synagoge: ¹⁰ and beholde, ther was a man which had his hande dried vp. And they asked hym, sayinge is it lawfull to heale vpon the Saboth dayes? that they myght accuse him. ¹¹ And he sayde vnto them: which of you will it be, that shall haue. a shepe, and yf it fall into a pytte on the Saboth daye, wyl he not take it and lyft it out? ¹² Howe moch more then is a man better then a shepe? Wherfore, it is lefull to do a good dede on the Saboth dayes. ¹³ Then sayeth he to the man: stretch forth thy hande. And he stretched it forth: And it was restored vnto health, lyke as the other. ¹⁴ Then the Pharises went out, and helde a counsell agaynst him, how they myght destroye him.

²³ And it chaunsed that he went thorow the corne feldes on the Sabboth dayes, and hys disciples, beganne by the waye to plucke the eares of corne.

¹ It happened on an after pryncipall Saboth, that he went thorow the corne felde, and hys discyples plucked the eares of corne, and dyd eate, and rubbed them in theyr handes: ² And certayn of the pharises said vnto them: Why do ye that, which is not lawfull to do on the Saboth dayes? ³ And Iesus answered them, and sayde: Haue ye not redde what Dauid dyd, when he him selfe was an hungred, and they which were with hym: ⁴ howe he went into the house of God, and dyd take and eate the shew bread, and gaue also to them that were with hym: which are not lawfull to eate, but for the prestes only? ⁵ And he sayde vnto them: The sonne of man is Lorde also of the Saboth daye. ⁶ And it fortuned in another Sabboth also, that he entred into the synagoge, & taught. And ther was a man, whose right hande was dryed vp. ⁷ And the scribes & pharises watched hym whether he wolde heale on the sabboth daye, that they myght fynde how to accuse him. ⁸ But he knewe their thoughtes, and sayd to the man which had the wythred hand: Ryse vp, and stande forth in the myddes. And he arose & stode forth. ⁹ Then sayd Iesus vnto them: I wyll aske you a question: Whether is it lawfull on the sabboth dayes to do good, or to do euil? to saue ones life, or to destroye it? ¹⁰ And he behelde them al in compasse, and sayd vnto the man: Stretch forth thy hand. And he dyd so: & hys hande was restored agayne as whole as the other. ¹¹ And they were fylled with madnes, and communed together amonge them selues, what they myght do to Iesu.

¹⁰ And he taught in one of their synagoges on the Saboth dayes. ¹¹ And beholde, ther was a woman, which had a sprete of infirmite .xviij. yeares: and was bowed together, and coulde in no wyse lifte vp her heade. ¹² When Iesus sawe her, he called her to him, and sayde vnto her woman, thou art deliuered from thy disease. ¹³ And he layde his handes on her, and immediatly, she was made strayght, and glorified God. ¹⁴ And the ruler of the synagoge answered with indignacion (because that Iesus had healed on the Saboth daye) and sayde vnto the people. Ther are syxe dayes in which men ought to worke, in them come, that ye maye be healed, and not on the Saboth daye. ¹⁵ But the Lorde answered him and sayde: Thou ypocryte, doth not each one of you on the Saboth daye lowse his oxe or his asse from the stall, and leade him to the water? ¹⁶ And ought not this daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bounde (lo .xviij. yeares) be lowsed from this bonde on the Saboth daye? ¹⁷ And when he thus sayde, all hys aduersaries were ashamed, and all the people reioysed on all the excellent dedes, that were done by him.

¹ And it chaunsed, that he went into the house of one of the chefe Pharyses to eate breed on a Saboth daye: and they watched hym.

⁹ And immediatly the man was made whole, and toke vp hys bed, and walked. And the same daye was the Saboth.

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.

²¹ Iesus answered, and sayde vnto them: I haue done one worcke, and ye all maruayle. ²² Moses therfore gaue vnto you the circuncisyon: not because it is of Moses, but of the fathers: And yet ye on the Saboth daye, circuncyse a man. ²³ If a man on the Saboth daye receaue circumcysion without breakynge of the lawe of Moses: disdayne ye at me, because I haue made a man euery whit whoale on the Saboth daye?

¹⁰ Therfore sayde they vnto hym: Howe are thyne eyes opened? ¹¹ He answered and sayde: The man that is called Iesus, made claye, and anoynted myne eyes, and sayd vnto me: Go to the pole Siloe, and wasshe. And whan I went & wesshed, I receaued my syght.

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?

² But when the Pharises sawe it, they sayde vnto hym: Beholde, thy discyples do that which is not lawfull to do vpon the Sabboth daye.

³¹ The same daye came there certayne of the Pharises, and sayde vnto him. get the out of the waye, and departe hence: for Herode will kyl the. ³² And he sayde vnto them: Go ye, and tell that foxe, beholde, I cast out deuyls and heale the people to daye and to morowe, and the thyrde daye I make an ende. ³³ Neuerthelesse, I must walke to daye and to morow, and the daye folowyng: for it cannot be that a Prophet perisshe eny other where, saue at Ierusalem.

² The same cam to Iesus by nyght, and sayde vnto him: Rabbi, we knowe that thou arte a teacher come from God: for no man coulde do suche myracles as thou doest, except God were wt him.

⁵² The Iewes therfore stroue amonge them selues, saying: How can this felowe geue vs the flessh of his, to eate?

¹² And moch murmuringe was ther of him amonge the people. For some sayde: He is good, other sayde naye, but he deceaueth the people.

⁴³ So was ther dissencion amonge the people because of him.

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.

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.

¹⁹ There was a dissencyon therfore agayne amonge the Iewes for these sayinges,

¹¹ Beleue me that I am in the father, & the father in me. Or els beleue me for the worckes sake.

²⁴ If I had not done amonge them the workes whych none other man dyd, they shuld haue had no synne. But now haue they both sene, & hated: not onely me but also my father.

⁴ But the multitude of the cytie was deuyded: and parte helde with the Iewes, & parte with the Apostles.

¹¹ And the people sayd: this is Iesus the Prophet of Nazareth (a cyte) of Galile

¹⁹ He sayde vnto them: what thynges? And they sayd vnto hym: of Iesus of Nazareth, whych was a Prophet, myghtye in dede and worde before God and all the people:

¹⁹ The woman sayeth vnto hym: Syr, I perceaue that thou art a prophet.

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.

²² Ye men of Israel, heare these wordes: Iesus of Nazareth a man aproued of God amonge you with myracles, wonders and sygnes, which God dyd by hym in the myddes of you (as ye youre selues knowe)

²² Moses trulye sayde vnto the fathers: a Prophet shall the Lorde youre God rayse vp vnto you, euen of youre brethren lyke vnto me: him shall ye heare, in all thynges whatsoeuer he shall saye vnto you. ²³ For the tyme wyll come, that euery soule which wyll not heare that same Prophet, shalbe destroyed from amonge the people. ²⁴ All the Prophetes also from Samuel and thence forth (as many as haue spoken) haue in lyke wyse tolde of these dayes. ²⁵ Ye are the chyldren of the Prophetes, and of the couenaunt, which God made vnto oure fathers, sayinge to Abraham: Euen in thy seede shal all the kynredes of the earth be blessed. ²⁶ Fyrst whan God had raysed vp hys sonne Iesus vnto you, he sent him to blesse you, that euery one of you shulde turne from his wyckednes.

³⁸ how God anoynted Iesus of Nazareth wt the holy ghost, and with power. Which Iesus went about doynge good, and healynge all that were oppressed of the deuyll, for God was with him.

¹⁴ And Lot went out and spake vnto hys sonnes in lawe which maried his daughters sayinge: stonde vp: get yowe out of this place, for the Lorde will ouerthrowe this cytie. But he semed as though he had mocked, vnto his sonnes in lawe.

¹¹ Lorde, when thy hande is lyfte vp to stryke, they se it not: but they shall se it, and be confounded with the zele of the people, and the fyer that consumeth thyne enemyes, shall deuoure them.

¹ But who hath geuen credence vnto the thynge we haue hearde? Or to whom is the arme of the Lord knowne?

³¹ He sayde vnto him: If they heare not Moses and the Prophetes, nether wyll they beleue, though one rose from deeth agayne.

¹⁹ And thys is the recorde of Iohn: when the Iewes sent Prestes and Leuites from Ierusalem, to aske hym, what art thou?

⁴⁴ How can ye beleue, which receaue honoure one of another, & seke not the honoure that commeth of God onely?

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.

³⁷ But though he had done so many miracles before them, yet beleued not they on hym, ³⁸ that the sayinge of Esaias the prophet myght be fulfylled, which he spake: Lord, who shal beleue our saying? And to whom is the arme of the Lorde declared? ³⁹ Therfore could they not beleue, because that Esaias saith agayne: ⁴⁰ he hath blynded their eyes, and hardened their hert, that they shuld not se with their eyes, & lest they shuld vnderstand with their hert, and shuld be conuerted, and I shulde heale them.

¹⁵ so longe as it is sayde: to daye yf ye wyll heare hys voyce, harden not youre hertes, as in the prouokynge, ¹⁶ for some when they hearde dyd prouoke: howe be it not all the came out of Egypt by Moses. ¹⁷ But with whom was he despleased .xl. yeares? Was he not despleased with them that had synned, whose carkases were ouerthrowen in the desert? ¹⁸ To whom sware he that they shulde not enter into his rest, but vnto them that were not obedient? ¹⁹ And we se, that they coulde not enter in, because of vnbelefe:

¹¹ Let vs study therfore to entre into that rest, lest eny man fall after the same ensample of vnbelefe.

⁸ So the neyghboures and they that had sene him before (how that he was a begger) said: is not this he that sat and begged? ⁹ Some sayd: this is he. Agayne, other sayd he is lyke hym. He hym selfe sayde: I am euen he.

¹⁰ And they knewe hym, that it was he, which sate and begged at the beutyfull gate of the temple. And they wondred and were sore astonyed at that which had happened vnto hym.

¹⁴ and beholdynge also the man (which was healed) standynge with them, they coulde not saye agaynst it:

¹ Of Dauid. The Lorde is my lyght and my saluacyon: whom then shall I feare? the Lorde is the strength of my lyfe: of whom then shall I be afrayed? ² When the wycked (euen myne enemyes and my foes) came vpon me, to eate vp my fleshe, they stombled & fell.

²⁵ He that feareth men, shal haue a fall: but who so putteth hys trust in the Lorde is with out daunger.

⁷ Herken vnto me, ye that haue pleasure in righteousnes, thou people that bearest my lawe in thyne hert. Feare not the curse of men: be not afrayde of their blasphemyes and reuylinges:

¹² Yee I, I am euen he, that in all thynges geueth you consolacyon. What art thou then, that fearest a mortall man, the chylde of man, which goeth awaye as doeth the floure?

¹¹ For when wylt thou be abasshed or feare, seynge thou hast broken thy promyse, and remembrest not me, nether hast me in thyne hert? Thynkest thou, that I also wyll holde my peace (as afore tyme) that thou fearest me not?

²² Blessed shall ye be, when men hate you, & thrust you out of their company, and rayle on you, and abhorre your names as an euyll thing, for the sonne of mannes sake.

⁴ I saye vnto you my frendes: be not afrayde of them that kyll the body, and after that haue no moare, that they can do. ⁵ But I will shewe you, whom ye shall feare. Feare him, which after he hath kylled, hath power to cast into hell. Yee, I saye vnto you: feare him. ⁶ Are not fyue sparowes bought for two farthinges? And not one of them is forgoten of God. ⁷ Also, euen the very heeres of youre heed are all nombred. Feare not therfore: ye are moare of value then many sparowes. ⁸ I saye vnto you euery one: whosoeuer confesseth me before men, him shal the sonne of man knowledge also before the angels of God ⁹ And he that denyeth me before men, shalbe denied before the angels of God.

⁵⁶ But whan one of the wenches behelde hym, as he sate by the fyer (and loked vp on hym) she sayde: thys same felow was also wyth hym. ⁵⁷ And he denyed hym, saying: woman: I knowe hym not. ⁵⁸ And after a lytell whyle, another sawe hym, and sayd, thou art also of them. And Peter sayd: man I am not. ⁵⁹ And about the space of an houre after, another affyrmed, sayinge: verely thys felowe was wyth hym also, for he is of Galile. ⁶⁰ And Peter sayde: man I wote not what thou sayest. And immediatly whyll he yet spake, the cocke crew. ⁶¹ And the Lorde tourned backe, and loked vpon Peter. And Peter remembred the worde of the Lord, how he had sayd vnto hym: before the cocke crowe, thou shalt deuye me thryse.

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

⁴⁵ Then came the mynisters to the hye prestes and Pharises. And they sayed vnto them: why haue ye not brought him? ⁴⁶ The mynisters answered: neuer man spake as this man doeth, ⁴⁷ Then answered them the Pharises: are ye also disceaued? 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, ⁵⁰ Nicodemus sayeth vnto them (he that came to Iesus by nyght, & was one of them) ⁵¹ Doth oure lawe iudge eny man, before it heare him, and knowe what he hath done? ⁵² They answered, and sayd vnto him: art thou also of Galile? Search & loke, For out of Galile aryseth no Prophete.

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. ⁴³ For they loued the prayse of men, more then the prayse of God.

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

³⁸ After this, Ioseph of Aramathia (which was a disciple of Iesus: but secretly for feare of the Iewes) besought Pilate, that he might take downe the body of Iesus. And Pilate gaue him licence.

¹⁹ The same daye at night: which was the fyrst daye of the Sabothes, when the dores were shut (where the disciples were assembled together for feare of the Iewes) came Iesus, and stode in the myddes, & saieth vnto them: peace be vnto you.

¹⁸ And they called them, and commaunded them, that in no wyse they shulde speake ner teach in the name of Iesu.

¹³ And of other durst no man ioyne him self to them: neuertheles the people magnified them.

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.

¹¹ But when Peter was come to Antioche I withstode him openly, because he was worthy to be blamed. ¹² For yer that certayne cam from Iames, he dyd eate with the Gentyls. But when they were come, he withdrue and separated hym selfe from them, fearynge them which were of the circumcisyon. ¹³ And the other Iewes dissembled as well as he: in so moche that Barnabas also was brought into their symulacion.

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

¹⁹ And Iosua sayde vnto Acan: my sonne, I beseche the, geue glorie to the Lord God of Israell, & geue him praise, & shewe me what thou hast done, hyde it not from me.

⁵ Wherfore ye shal make ymages like to your arsses, and ymages lyke to your myce that corrupt the lande, and ye shall geue glory vnto the God of Israel: that he maye take his hand from of you, and from of your goddes, and from of youre lande. ⁶ Wherfore do ye harden your hertes as the Egipcians and Pharao hardened their hertes? which when he toke on agaynst them, dyd they not let the people go, & they departed? ⁷ Now therfore, make a newe carte, and take two melche kyne: on whose necke there hath come no yock. And tye the kyne to the carte, and bring the calues home from them. ⁸ And take the arck of the Lord, and laye it vpon the carte, and put the iewels of golde (which ye rewarde him with for a synoffering) in a cofre by the side therof: and send it awaye, that it maye go. ⁹ And yf ye se that he go vp by the waye of his awne coaste to Bethsames: then it is he that dyd vs this great euyll. Yf no, we shall knowe then, that it is not his hande that smote vs: but it was a chaunce that happened vs.

¹⁴ Offre vnto God thanckesgeuynge, and paye thy vowes vnto the most hyest. ¹⁵ And call vpon me in the tyme of trouble, so wyll I heare the, and thou shalt prayse me.

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

²⁷ And they crucified with him two theues. the one on the right hande, & the other on his lyfte.

³⁹ When the pharise (which had bidden him) sawe, he spake within hym selfe, sayinge: If thys man were a prophete, he wolde surely knowe who, and what maner of woman thys is that touched hym, for she is a synner.

² And the Pharises and Scribes murmured, sayinge. He receaueth synners, and eateth with them.

⁷ And when they sawe it, they all grudged, sayinge: He is gone in to tary with a man that is a synner.

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.

⁴⁶ Which of you rebuketh me of synne? If I saye the trueth, why do not ye beleue me?

⁴⁹ Iesus answered: I haue not the deuyll: but I honoure my father, and ye haue dishonored me.

¹⁶ Therfore sayd some of the pharises: thys man is not of God, because he kepeth not the Saboth daye. Other sayde: howe can a man that is a synner, do such myracles? And ther was a stryfe amonge them.

³⁰ Here after wyll I not talke many wordes vnto you. For the prince of this worlde commeth, and hath naught in me.

³⁰ They answered and sayde vnto him: If he were not an euyll doar we wolde not haue delyuered him vnto the.

⁶ When the hye Prestes therfore and ministers sawe hym, they cryed sayinge: crucify him, crucify hym. Pylate sayeth vnto them: Take ye him, and crucify him: for I fynde no cause in him.

² For I beare them recorde, that they haue a feruent mynde to God warde, but not according to knowledge. ³ For they beynge ignoraunt of Goddes ryghtewesnes, and goynge aboute to stablysshe theyr awne ryghtewesnes, haue not bene obedient vnto the ryghtewesnes of God. ⁴ For Christ is the fulfyllyng of the lawe, to iustyfye all that beleue.

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.

¹¹ He answered them: he that made me whole, sayde vnto me: take vp thy bed, and walke.

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.

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

⁶⁷ art thou very Chryst? tell vs. And he sayde vnto them: yf I tell you, ye wyll not beleue.

¹⁰ Therfore sayde they vnto hym: Howe are thyne eyes opened? ¹¹ He answered and sayde: The man that is called Iesus, made claye, and anoynted myne eyes, and sayd vnto me: Go to the pole Siloe, and wasshe. And whan I went & wesshed, I receaued my syght. ¹² Then sayd they vnto him: where is he? He sayde: I cannot tell. ¹³ They brought to the pharises, hym that a lytell before was blynde: ¹⁴ and it was the Sabboth daye, when Iesus made the claye, and opened hys eyes. ¹⁵ Then agayne the pharises also asked hym, howe he had receaued his syght. He sayd vnto them: he put claye vpon myne eyes, and I wasshed, and do se.

¹¹ Blessed are ye, when men reuyle you, and persecute you, and shall falesy say all maner of euyll sayinge against you, for my sake.

³⁹ They that passed by, reuyled him, waggynge their heades,

⁴⁵ Do not thyncke that I wyll accuse you to my father. Ther is one that accuseth you: euen Moses in whom ye trust. ⁴⁶ For had ye beleued Moses, ye wolde haue beleued me for he wrote of me. ⁴⁷ But yf ye beleue not hys wrytinges: how shall ye beleue my wordes?

¹⁹ Dyd not Moses geue you a lawe, & yet none of you kepeth the lawe? Why go ye about to kyll me?

¹¹ Then sent they in men, which sayde: we haue hearde hym speake blasphemous wordes against Moses, and agaynst God. ¹² And they moued the people and the elders and the scribes: and came vpon him and caught hym, ¹³ and brought him to the councell, and brought forth false witnesse, which sayde: Thys man ceaseth not to speake blasphemous wordes against this holy place and the lawe: ¹⁴ for we heard him saye: this Iesus of Nazareth shal destroye this place, and shal chaunge the ordinaunces, which Moses gaue vs.

¹⁷ Beholde, thou art called a Iewe, and trustest in the lawe, and makest thy boast of God,

¹² & laboure, worckynge wt oure awne handes. We are reuyled, and yet we blesse. We are persecuted, and suffer it.

¹⁰ nether theues, nether couetouse, nether dronkardes, nether cursed speakers, nether pyllers, shall inheret the kyngdome of God.

²³ whych when he was reuyled, reuyled not agayne: when he suffered, he threatened not, but committed the vengeaunce to hym that iudgeth ryghteously

² And they sayde: Hath the Lorde in dede spoken only thorow Moses? Hath he not spoken also by vs? And the Lorde hearde it. ³ But Moses was a very meke man, aboue all the men of the earth. ⁴ And the Lorde spake at once vnto Moses vnto Aaron and to Mir Iam: come out ye thre vnto the tabernacle of witnes, and they came out all thre. ⁵ And the Lorde came downe in the pyller of the cloude, and stode in the dore of the tabernacle, and called Aaron and MirIam: And they went out both of them. ⁶ And he said: heare my wordes. If there be a prophete of the Lordes amonge you, I wylbe knowne of him in a visyon: and wyll speake vnto him in slepe. ⁷ My seruaunt Moses is not so, which is faithfull in all myne house.

²⁸ And Moses sayd: Herby ye shall knowe that the Lorde hath sent me to do all these workes, and that I haue not done them of mine awne minde.

¹⁰ And there arose not a prophet sence in Israel lyke vnto Moses, whom the Lorde knewe face to face,

²⁷ and saye: thus sayth the kynge: Put thys felow in the preson house, and fede him wyth breed of affliction, and with water of trouble vntyll I retourne in peace.

¹¹ Iehu came out to the seruauntes of hys lorde, and one sayde vnto hym, is all well? Wherfore came thys madd felowe to the? And he sayde vnto them: ye knowe what maner of man it is, and what hys communicacyon is.

⁶ But as for me, I am a worme & no man: a very scorne of men & the outcast of the people.

⁷ He shewed hys wayes vnto Moses, hys worckes vnto the chyldren of Israel.

²⁶ Then sent he Moses his seruaunt, and Aaron, whom he had chosen.

¹⁶ They angred Moses also in the tentes, and Aaron the sayncte of the Lorde.

² For he dyd growe before the Lord lyke as a braunche, & as a rote in a drye grounde, he hath nether bewtye nor fauoure. When we shall loke vpon hym, there shalbe no fayrnesse: we shall haue no lust vnto him. 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.

⁴ Remembre the lawe of Moses my seruaunt, whych I commytted vnto hym in Oreb for all Israell, with the statutes and ordinaunces.

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.

⁶¹ and sayde: This felowe sayde. I am able to destroye the temple of God, & to buylde it agayne in thre dayes.

² And they beganne to accuse him, sayinge: we founde thys felowe peruertinge the people, and forbyddynge to paye tribute to Cesar: sayinge, that he is Chryst a kynge.

¹⁷ For the lawe was geuen by Moses, but grace & trueth came by Iesus Christ.

²⁷ Howbeit we knowe this man whence he is: but when Christ cometh, no man knoweth whence he is.

⁴¹ but other sayde this is Christ. But some sayde: shal Christ come out of Galile: ⁴² Sayeth not the scripture, that Christ shall come of the seed of Dauid: and out of the towne of Bethleem where Dauid was?

¹⁴ Iesus answered, & sayde vnto them: though I beare recorde of my selfe, yet my recorde is true: for I knowe whence I cam, and whither I go. But ye cannot tell whence I come, and whither I go.

³⁵ This Moses whom they forsoke (saying: who made the a ruler and a iudge?) the same dyd God sende to be a ruler and a delyuerer, by the handes of the aungell which appeared to hym in the busshe.

²² They gaue hym audience vnto thys worde, and then lyft vp theyr voyces and sayde: awaye with soche a felowe from the earth: for it is not reason that he shuld lyue.

²² Seyng therfore that I haue obtained helpe of God: I contynew vnto thys daye, wytnessinge bothe to small & to great, saying none other thynges, then those whych the prophetes and Moses dyd saye shuld come:

² howe that he is faythfull vnto hym that put hym in the offyce, euen as was Moses in all his house. ³ For loke howe moche honoure he (that hath buylded a house) hath more then the house it selfe, so moch honour is he counted worthy of more then Moses. ⁴ For euery house is buylded of some man. But he that ordeyned all thynges, is God. ⁵ And Moses verely was faythfull in all hys house, as a minyster, to beare witnes of those thynges which were to be spoken afterwarde.

¹⁸ Open thou mine eyes, that I maye se the wonderous thinges of thy lawe.

¹⁴ Therfore wyll I do maruayls amonge this people, euen maruelous thinges (I saye) & a wonder. For the wysdome of their wise men shall perysh, & the vnderstanding of their wittye men shall hyd it selfe.

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

⁶ and merueyled, because of theyr vnbelefe. And he went aboute by the tounes that laye on euery syde, teaching.

²² And he answered, & sayd vnto them: Go your waye and bring worde agayne to Iohn, what thinges ye haue sene & heard, how that the blynde se, the halt go, the lepers are clensed, the deaff heare, the dead ryse agayne: to the poore is the glad tydinges preached,

¹⁰ Iesus answered & sayde vnto hym: art thou a master in Israel, & knowest not these thinges?

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

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.

²³ and Abraham drewe nere & sayde: Wylt thou also destroye the ryghtwes with the wicked? ²⁴ parauenture there be .l. ryghtwes within the cytie, wylt thou destroye and not spare the place for the sake of .l. ryghtwes that are therin? ²⁵ That be farre from the, that thou shuldest do after thys sayinge, & sley the ryghtwes with the wicked, & that the ryghtwes shulde be as the wicked, that be farre from the. Shall not the iudge of all the worlde do accordynge to ryghte? ²⁶ And the Lorde sayde: If I fynde in Sodome .l. ryghtwes wythin the cytie, I will spare all the place for their sakes. ²⁷ And Abraham answerynge: sayde, Beholde, I haue taken vpon me to speake vnto the Lorde, which am but dust and asshes. ²⁸ perauenture there shall lacke fyue of fyftye ryghteous: wylt thou destroye all the cytie for lacke of fyue? And he sayde: yf I fynde there fourtye & fyue, I will not destroye them. ²⁹ And he proceaded to speake vnto hym agayne, & sayde, peraduenture there shalbe fourtye founde there. He answered: I will not do it for forties sake. ³⁰ He sayde vnto him agayne: O let not my Lord be angry that I speake: peraduenture there shall thyrtye be founde there. And he sayde: I will do nothynge yf I fynde thirtye there. ³¹ He sayde agayne: O se, I haue taken vpon me to speake nowe also vnto my Lorde: peraduenture ther shalbe twentye founde there. He answered: I wyll not destroye them for twenties sake. ³² And be sayde: O let not my Lorde he angry, & I wyll speake yet but this once. Perauenture there shall ten be founde there. He answered: I wyll not destroye them for tens sake. ³³ And the Lorde went his waye as soone as he had lefte commoninge with Abraham. And Abraham also returned vnto his place.

²⁹ And it happened that when God destroyed the cyties of that regyon, he thought vpon Abraham, & sent Lot out from the myddes of the ouerthrowenge, when he ouerthrewe the cyties where Lot dwelled.

⁷ Nowe therfore delyuer the man his wyfe agayne, for he is a prophete. And he shall praye for the that thou mayst lyue. But and yf thou delyuer her not agayne, be sure that thou shalt dye the deth, both thou, and all that thou hast.

²⁰ & called vnto the Lorde, and sayde: O Lorde my God, hast thou punysshed also this wedowe (wt whom I dwell as a stranger) & hast slayne her sonne? 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.

³⁶ And it fortuned when the tyme came (wherin the burntsacrifyce of the eueninge vsed to be offred) Elia the prophete came & sayd: Lord God of Abraham, Isahac & of Israel, it shalbe knowen this daye, that thou art the God in Israel, & that I am thy seruaunt, & that I haue done all these thynges at thy commaundement. ³⁷ Heare me (O Lorde) heare me, that this people maye knowe, that thou art the Lorde God, & thou hast turned theyr herte agayne now at the last. ³⁸ And the fyre of the Lord fell, & consumed the burntsacrifyce & the wodd, the stones & the dust, & lycked vp the water that was in the pitte.

²⁰ But Hezekia the kynge, and the prophet Isai the sonne of Amoz prayed agaynst that blasphemy, and cryed vp to heauen. ²¹ And the Lord sent an angell, which destroyed all the men of warre and the Lordes and captaynes of the hoost of the kyng of Assur, that he turned his face agayne wt shame toward hys awne land. And when he was come into the house of his God, they that came of hys awne body, slue hym there with the sweard.

⁸ For what hope hath the ypocryte though he haue greate good, and though God geue him riches after his hertes desyre? ⁹ Doth God heare him the soner, when he crieth vnto him in hys necessite?

¹² If any soch complayne, no man geueth answere, and that because of the wyckednesse of proude tyrauntes.

⁸ Therfore, take you now seuen oxen and seuen rammes, and go to my seruaunt Iob, and offre vp for youre selues a brent offeringe: and my seruaunt Iob shall praye for you. Hym wyll I accepte, and not deale wyth you after youre folyshnesse: in that ye haue not spoken the thinge whych is ryght, lyke as my seruaunt Iob hath done.

⁴¹ They shall crye: but there shalbe none to helpe them: yee, euen vnto the Lord, shall they crye: but he shall nott heare them.

¹⁵ The eyes of the Lorde are ouer the ryghteous, & his eares are open vnto their prayers. ¹⁶ The countenaunce of the Lorde is agaynst them that do euell, to rote out the remembraunce of them from of the earth.

⁸ In the volume of the boke it is written of me, that I shulde fulfyll thy will, O my God: I am content to do it: yee, thy lawe is wythin my hert.

¹⁸ If I enclyne vnto wickednes with my hert, the Lorde wyll not heare me. ¹⁹ But God hath hearde me, and consydred the voyce of my prayer. ²⁰ Praysed be God which hath not cast out my prayer, ner turned his mercy fro me.

⁶ Moses and Aaron among his preastes, and Samuel amonge soche as call vpon hys name: these called vpon the Lorde, and he hearde them.

²³ So he sayd he wolde haue destroyed them, had not Moses his chosen stande before hym in that gappe: to turne awaye his wrathful indignacion, lest he shulde destroye them.

¹⁰ Teach me to do the thynge that pleaseth the, for thou art my God, let thy louinge sprete leade me forthe vnto the lande of ryghteousnes.

¹⁹ He wyll fulfyll the desyre of them that feare hym, he also wyll heare theyr crye, & will helpe them.

²⁸ Then shal they call vpon me, but I wyll not heare: they shall seke me early, but they shall not fynde me. ²⁹ And that because they hated knowledge, & receaued not the feare of the Lorde:

²⁹ The Lorde is farre from the vngodly, but he heareth the prayer of the ryghteous.

¹³ Whoso stoppeth hys eares at the cryenge of the poore: he shall crye hym selfe, and not be hearde.

⁹ He that turneth awaye hys eare from hearing the lawe, hys prayer shalbe abhominable.

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

⁹ Then yf thou callest, the Lorde shall answere the: yf thou cryest, he shall saye: here I am. Yee, yf thou layest awaye from the thy burthens, and holdest thy fingers, & ceasest from blasphemous talkinge,

¹¹ Therfore, thus sayeth the Lord. Behold, I wyll sende a plage vpon them, which they shall not be able to escape: & thoughe they crye vnto me, I wyl not heare them.

¹² For though they fast, I wil not heare their praiers and though thei offre burntoffringes & sacrifyces, yet wyll not I accepte them. For I will destroye them with the sweard, honger & pestilence.

¹ Then spake the Lord vnto me: Thoughe Moses & Samuell stode before me, yet haue I no hearte to thys people. Driue them awaye, that they maye go out of my syght.

¹⁸ Therfore will I also do some thynge in my wrathfull dyspleasure, so that myne eye shall not ouerse them, nether wyll I spare them. Yee, and though they crye in myne eares wyth loude voyce, yet wyll I not heare them.

⁴ Now the tyme shall come, that when they call vnto the Lorde, he shall not heare them, but hyde hys face from them, because that thorow theyr awne Imagynacyons they haue dealte so wyckedly.

¹³ And thus is it come to passe: that lyke as he spake and they wolde not heare: euen so they cryed, and I wolde not heare (sayth the Lord of hoostes)

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

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.

¹⁶ Ye haue not chosen me, but I haue chosen you, and ordeyned you, to goo, and brynge forth frute, and that your frute shuld remayne, that whatsoeuer ye aske of the father in my name, he maye geue it you.

⁷ Then sayd I: lo, I am here. In the begynnyng of the booke it is written of me, that I shuld do thy will, o God.

¹⁵ and the prayer of fayth shall saue the sycke, and the Lord shal rayse him vp: and yf he haue commytted synnes, they shalbe forgeuen hym. ¹⁶ Knowledge youre fautes one to another: and praye one for another, that ye maye be healed. For the feruent prayer of a ryghteous man auayleth moch. ¹⁷ Helyas was a man vnder infirmitees euen as we are, and he prayed in his prayer that it myght not rayne: and it rayned not on the earthe by the space of thre yeares & syxe monethes. ¹⁸ And he prayed agayne, and the heauen gaue rayne, and the earth brought forth her frute.

²¹ Dearly beloued, yf oure herte condempne vs not, then haue we trust to God warde: ²² & what soeuer we aske we receaue of hym, because we kepe his commaundementes, & do those thinges which are pleasinge in his syght.

⁴ Knowest thou not this, namely: that from the begynnyng (euer sence the creacion of man vpon earth)

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

⁷⁰ Euen as he promysed by the mouth of his holy prophetes, which were sens the worlde began.

¹⁸ And ther folowed, voyces, thondringes, and lightenynges, & ther was a greate erthquake, suche as was not sence men were vpon the erth, so mighty an erthquake & so great.

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.

⁹ And they sayde: stonde back. And they sayde: he came in as one to sciourne, & wyll he be nowe a iudge? we wyll suerly deale worse with the than with them. And they preased sore vpon the man, euen Lot: & came to breake vp the doore,

¹⁴ He answered: who made the a man of auctoryte to iudge vs? Speakest thou to kyll me, as thou kylledst the Egyptian? And Moses feared & sayde: of a suertie thys thynge is knowne:

¹⁶ And it chaunced, that as the prophete talked with hym the kynge sayde vnto hym: haue men made the of the kynges councell? cease, why wylt thou be beaton? And the prophete ceased and sayde: I am sure that God is mynded to destroye the, because thou hast done this, and agreest not vnto my councell.

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

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

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

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

⁷ Who so reproueth a scornefull personne, getteth him selfe dishonoure: and he that rebuketh the vngodly, stayneth him selfe. ⁸ Reproue not a scorner lest he owe the euell wyll: but rebuke a wyse man, and he wyll loue the.

¹⁰ Cast out the scornefull man, and so shall stryfe go out wt hym: yee, variaunce & sclaunder shall cease.

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

¹ He that is styfnecked, & wyll not be refourmed, shall sodenly be destroyed without eny help.

⁵ If thou comest nye them, they saye touch me not, for I am holyer then thou All these men when I am angry, shalbe turned to smoke & fyre, that shall burne for euer.

¹⁷ If he heare not them, tell it vnto the congregacyon. If he heare not the congregacion let him be vnto the as anhethen man & as a publican. ¹⁸ Uerely I saye vnto you: whatsoeuer ye bynde on erth, shalbe bounde in heauen. And whatsoeuer ye lose on erth, shalbe lowsed in heauen.

⁴⁵ Then answered one of the lawears, and sayde vnto him: Master, thus saying thou puttest vs to rebuke also.

¹¹ For whosoeuer exalteth him self, shalbe brought lowe. And he that humbleth hym selfe, shalbe exalted.

¹⁰ Two men went vp into the temple to praye: the one a Pharise, and the other a publican. ¹¹ The Pharyse stode and prayed thus with hym selfe: God, I thancke the, that I am not as other men are, extorsioners, vniuste, aduoutrers, or as this publycan. ¹² I fast twyse in the weke. I geuetythe of all that I possesse. ¹³ And the publican stondyng a farre of, wolde not lyfte vp his eyes to heauen, but smote vpon hys brest, saying: God be mercyfull to me a synner: ¹⁴ I tell you: thys man departed home to hys house iustyfyed, more then the other. For euery one that exalteth him self, shalbe brought lowe: And he that humbleth him selfe, shalbe exalted.

¹⁷ Uerely I saye vnto you: whosoeuer receaueth not the kyngdome of God as a chylde, shall not enter therin.

³⁷ All that the father geueth me shall come to me: and he that commeth to me, I cast not awaye?

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,

⁴¹ Ye do the dedes of youre father. Then sayde they to him: we were not borne of fornicacion. We haue one father, euen God.

² And his discyples asked him sayinge: Master, who dyd synne, this man, or hys father and mother, that he was borne blynd?

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?

⁴⁰ And some of the pharises which were with him, hearde these wordes, and sayd vnto him: are we blynde also?

⁴ in the name of oure Lord Iesu Christ, when ye are gathered together, and my sprete wt you, with the power of the Lorde Iesus Chryst ⁵ to delyuer hym vnto Satan, for the destruccyon of the flesshe, that the sprete maye be saued in the daye of the Lorde Iesus.

¹³ Them that are without, God iudgeth. Put awaye the euell from amonge you.

¹⁵ For we which are Iewes by nature, and not synners of the Gentyls,

³ amonge whom we all had oure conuersacyon also in tyme past, in the lustes of oure flesshe, and fulfylled the wyll of the flesshe and of the mynde: and were by nature the chyldren of wrath, euen as well as other.

⁵ Lykewyse ye yonger, submyt your selues vnto the elder: Submit youre selues euery man, one to another, knyt youre selues together in lowlynes of mynde. For God resisteth the proude, and geueth grace to the humbl

⁹ I wrote vnto the congregacion: but Diotrephes which loueth to haue the preeminence amonge them, receaueth vs not.

¹⁷ And that no man myght by or sell, saue he that had the marke or the name of the beast, other the nombre of his name.

⁷ I wyll preach the lawe, wherof the Lorde hath sayd vnto me: thou arte my sonne, thys daye haue I begotten the.

¹² Kysse the sonne, lest he be angrye, & so ye perysshe from the waye, yf his wrath be kyndled (yee but a lytle) blessed are all they that put theyr trust in hym.

¹⁰ Thou hast bene my succoure, leaue me not, nether forsake me, O God of my saluacyon.

³³ Then they that were in the shyppe, came and worshypped hym, sayinge: of a truthe thou art the sonne of God.

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

¹ The begynnynge of the Gospell of Iesu Chryst the sonne of God,

¹⁸ No man hath sene God at eny tyme. The onely begotten sonne, whych is in the bosome of the father, he hath declared hym.

³⁴ And I sawe, and bare recorde, that he is the sonne of God.

⁴⁹ Nathanael answered and sayd vnto him: Rabbi, thou art euen the very sonne of God, thou art the kyng of Israel. ⁵⁰ Iesus answered, and sayde vnto him: Because I sayde vnto the, I sawe the vnder the fygge tree, thou beleuest. Thou shalt se greater thynges then these.

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,

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.

¹⁴ Afterwarde, Iesus founde him in the temple, and sayde vnto him: beholde, thou art made whole, synne nomore, lest a worsse thinge happen vnto the.

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

²⁷ She sayd vnto him: yee Lorde, I beleue that thou art Christ the sonne of God, which shuld come into the world.

²⁸ Thomas answered, and sayde vnto him: my Lorde, & my God:

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?

²⁰ And straight waye he preached Christ in the Sinagoges, howe that he was the sonne of God,

⁴ and hath bene declared to be the sonne of God wt power, after the sprete that sanctifyeth, sence the tyme that Iesus Chryst oure Lorde rose agayne from deeth

²⁰ Esay after that, is bolde and sayeth: I am founde of them, that sought me not: I am manyfest vnto them, that asked not after me.

² but in these last dayes he hath spoken vnto vs by his awne sonne, whom he hath made heyre of all thynges by whom also he made the worlde. ³ Which (sonne) beinge the bryghtnes of his glory, and that very ymage of his substance rulynge all thynges with the worde of hys power, hath by hys awne person pourged oure synnes, and sytteth on the ryght hande of the maiestye on hye: ⁴ beynge so moch more excellent then the angels, as he hath by inherytaunce obteyned a more excellent name then they. ⁵ For vnto which of the angels sayde he at eny tyme: Thou art my sonne, thys daye haue I begotten the? And agayne I wyll be hys father, and he shalbe my sonne. ⁶ And agayne, when he bringeth in the fyrst begotten sonne into the worlde, he sayth. And let all the angels of God worshyppe hym. ⁷ And vnto the angels he sayth. He maketh hys angels spretes, and hys minystres a flamme of fyre. ⁸ But vnto the sonne he sayth: Thy seate (O God) shalbe for euer and euer The scepter of thy kyngdome is a ryght scepter. ⁹ Thou hast loued ryghtewesnes, and hated iniquyte. Wherfore, God, euen thy God hath anoynted the with the oyle of gladnes aboue thy felowes.

¹⁵ Whosoeuer confesseth, that Iesus is the sonne God, in him dwelleth God, & he in God.

⁵ Who is it that ouercommeth the worlde: but he which beleueth, that Iesus is the sonne of God?

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.

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.

³ I neuer lerned wysdome, ner had knowledge of holy thynges. ⁴ Who hath clymed vp into heauen? Who hath come doune from thence? Who hath holden the wynd fast in his hand? Who hath comprehended the waters in a garment? Who hath sett all the endes of the worlde? What is hys name, or his sonnes name? Canst thou tell

⁹ What maner of man is thy loue aboue other louers? O thou fayrest amonge wemen? Or what can thy loue do, more then other louers, that thou chargest vs so straytely?

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

³⁸ And Iesus turned about, and sawe them folowe hym, & sayeth vnto them: what seke ye? They sayd vnto hym: Rabbi (whych is to saye yf one interprete it Master) where dwellest thou?

¹⁴ How then shall they call on hym, on whom they haue not beleued? how shall they beleue on hym, of whom they haue not hearde? how shall they heare, without a preacher?

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

¹⁴ The secrete of the Lorde is amonge them that feare him & he wyll shewe them hys couenaunt.

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,

¹¹ He answered and sayde vnto them: it is geuen vnto you to knowe the secretes of the kyngdome of heauen, but to them it is not geuen. ¹² For whosoeuer hath, to him shall be geuen: and he shall haue aboundaunce. But whosoeuer hath not: from him shalbe taken awaye euen that also which he hath.

²⁶ I that speake vnto the am he.

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.

³¹ and sayde: Cornelius, thy prayer is heard, and thyne almes dedes are had in remembraunce in the syght of God. ³² Sende men therfore to go to Ioppa, and call for Symon, whose syrname is Peter. He is lodged in the house of one Symon a tanner by the see syde: which assone as he is come, shall speake vnto the. ³³ Then sent I for the immediatly, & thou hast well downe, that thou art come. Nowe therfore are we all here present before God, to heare all thinges that are commaunded vnto the of God.

¹¹ Herken (O daughter) and consydre: enclyne thyne eare: forget also thine awne people, & thy fathers house.

⁹ And as they went to tell his disciples: beholde, Iesus met them, sayinge: All hayle. And they came, & held him by the fete, & worshipped him.

¹⁷ And when they sawe him, they worshipped him. But some douted.

⁵² And they worshypped hym, and returned to Ierusalem wyth greate ioye,

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, ¹⁰ and hast made vs vnto oure God, kynges, and prestes, & we shall raygne on the erth. ¹¹ And I behelde, and I hearde the voyce of many angels about the trone, & about the beaste & the elders, and I hearde thousand thousandes, ¹² saying wt a lowde voyce: Worthy is the lambe that was kylled to receaue power, & ryches, & wysdome, and strength, and honour, & glory, & blessynge. ¹³ And all the creatures whych are in heauen, & on the erth, & vnder the erth, & in the see, & all that are in them, herde I sayinge, blessyng, honour, glory, & power be vnto hym that sytteth vpon the seate, & vnto the lambe for euermore. ¹⁴ And the foure beastes sayd: Amen. And the .xxiiii. elders fell vpon their faces, and worshypped hym that lyueth for euermore.

⁹ And he sayde, go, and tell this people: ye shall heare in dede, but ye shall not vnderstande: ye shall playnely se, and not perceaue.

¹⁰ For the Lorde hath couered you with a slomberinge sprete, and hath closed your eyes. Your prophetes also & rulers that shuld se, them hath he couered.

¹⁸ Heare, O ye deafe men, and sharpen youre syghtes to se (O ye blinde.) ¹⁹ Who is blinde, but my seruaunt? Or so deafe, as my messaunger, whom I sent vnto them? For who is so blynde (faye they) as the perfecte man and so blynde as the Lordes seruaunte? ²⁰ Thou vnderstondest moch, and kepest nothynge: the eares are open, & no man heareth.

¹⁸ Yet men nether consydre ner vnderstande, because theyr eyes are stopped, that they cannot se: and their hertes, that they cannot perceaue.

⁹ And with that, the Lorde stretched oute his hande, and touched my mouth, & the same lorde sayde vnto me. Behold, I put my wordes in thy mouth, ¹⁰ and beholde thys daye do I set the ouer the people & kyngdomes: that thou mayest rote out, breake of, destroye, & make waste: and that thou mayest buylde vp & plante.

²³ But and yf thyne eye be wicked, all thy body shalbe full of darcknesse. Wherfore, yf the lyght that is in the be darcknes, how greate is that darcknes?

¹³ Therfore speake I to them by similitude: for they seinge, se not: and hearinge, they heare not: nother do they vnderstand. ¹⁴ And in them is fulfylled the prophecie of Esaias, which sayth: with the eares ye shall heare, and shall not vnderstand and seinge ye shall se, and shall not perceaue. ¹⁵ For these peoples hertes is wexed grosse, and their eares are dull of hearynge, and theyr eyes haue they closed, lest at any tyme they shuld se with their eyes, and heare with their eares, & shuld understand with their herte, & be conuerted, that I also myght heale them.

⁷⁹ To geue light to them that sate in darcknes & in the shadowe of deathe, to gyde oure fete into the waye of peace.

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

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

²¹ And in that same houre he cured many of their infyrmites and plages, and of euyll spretes, and vnto many that were blynd he gaue sight.

³⁴ The lyght of the body is the eye. Therfore, when thyne eye is syngle, all thy body also shalbe full of lyght. But yf thyne eye be euill, thy body also shalbe full of darknes, ³⁵ Take hede therfore, that the lyght which is in the, be not darcknes.

³⁰ And beholde, there are last, which shalbe fyrst. And ther are fyrst, which shalbe last.

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

¹⁹ And thys is the condemnacion: that lyght is come into the world, and men loued darcknes more then light, because their dedes were euyll.

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.

¹⁵ Ye iudge after the flesshe I iudge no man.

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.

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.

⁴⁰ he hath blynded their eyes, and hardened their hert, that they shuld not se with their eyes, & lest they shuld vnderstand with their hert, and shuld be conuerted, and I shulde heale them. ⁴¹ Soch thynges sayd Esaias, when he sawe his glorye, & spake of him.

⁷ What then? Israel hath not obtayned that which he seketh: but the eleccyon hath obtayned it. The remnaunt are blynded ⁸ accordynge as it is written. God hath geuen them the sprete of vnquyetnes: eyes that they shuld not se, & eares that they shuld not heare, euen vnto this daye. ⁹ And Dauid sayth: Let their table be made a snare to take them with all, and an occasyon to fall, and a reward vnto them. ¹⁰ Let theyr eyes be blynded that they se not: and bowe thou downe their backe allwaye.

¹⁶ To the one parte are we the sauour of deeth vnto deeth. And vnto the other part are we the sauour of lyfe vnto lyfe. And who is mete vnto these thinges?

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

¹⁰ and with all deceauablenes of vnryghtwesnes, amonge them that perysshe: because they receaued not the loue of the trueth, that they myght be saued.

⁹ But ye are a chosen generacion, a royall presthod, an holy nacyon, a people whych are wonne: that ye shuld shewe the vertues of hym, that called you out of darcknes into hys meruclous lyght,

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.

¹² Then came his disciples, and sayde vnto him: knowest thou not, that the Pharises were offended at this saying? ¹³ But he answered and sayd. Euery plante which my heauenly father hath not planted, shalbe plucked vp by the rotes. ¹⁴ Let them alone, they be the blynde leaders of the blynde. If the blynde leade the blynde, both shall fall into the dyche.

¹⁶ Wo be vnto you ye blynde gydes, ffor ye saye: whosoeuer doth sweare by the temple: it is nothynge: but whosoeuer sweareth by the golde of the temple, he is gyltye. ¹⁷ Ye fooles & blinde: For whether is greater: the gold, or the temple that sanctifyeth the gold? ¹⁸ And whosoeuer sweareth by the aultre, it is nothinge, but whosoeuer sweareth by the gyft that is vpon it, he is giltye, ¹⁹ ye foles & blynd for whether is greater? the gyft: or the altare that sanctifieth the gyft? ²⁰ Whoso therfore sweareth by the aultre, sweareth by it, and by all thinges that are there on. ²¹ And whoso sweareth by the temple, sweareth by it, & by hym that dwelleth therin. ²² And he that sweareth by heauen, sweareth by the seate of God, and by hym that sytteth theron. ²³ Wo vnto you Scribes & Pharises, ye ypocrites: For ye tyth mynt, and anyse, & commyn, & haue leaft the wayghtier matters of the lawe: iudgement, mercy, & fayth. These ought ye to haue done, & not to leaue the other vndone. ²⁴ ye blynde gydes, which strayne out agnat, & swalowe a Camell. ²⁵ Wo vnto you Scrybes and pharises, ye ypocrites: for ye make cleane the vtter syde of the cuppe, & of the platter: but within they are full of brybery and excesse. ²⁶ Thou blynde Pharise, clense fyrst that whych is wt in the cup & platter, that the outesyde of them maye be cleane also. ²⁷ Wo vnto you Scrybes & pharises, ye ypocrites: for ye are lyke vnto painted sepulcres which in dede appeare beautifull outwarde but are wythin full of deed mens bones & of all fylthynes. ²⁸ Euen so ye also, outwardlye appere ryghteous vnto men: But wythin, ye are full of faynednesse and iniquyte.

³⁹ And the Lorde sayde vnto him: Now do ye Pharises, make clene the out syde of the cup, and the platter: but youre inwarde parte is full of rauenynge and wyckednes. ⁴⁰ Ye fooles, dyd not he (that made that which is without) make that which is within also? ⁴¹ Neuerthelesse, geue almose of that ye haue, and behold, all thinges are cleane vnto you. ⁴² But wo vnto you Pharises, for ye tythe mynt and rewe, and all manner erbes, and passe ouer iudgement and the loue of God. These ought ye to haue done, and yet not to leaue the other vndone. ⁴³ Wo vnto you Pharises: for ye loue the vppermost seates in the sinagoges, and gretinges in the market. ⁴⁴ Wo vnto you scrybes and Pharises, ye ypocrites, for ye are as graues which appeare not, and the men that walke ouer them, are not ware of them. ⁴⁵ Then answered one of the lawears, and sayde vnto him: Master, thus saying thou puttest vs to rebuke also. ⁴⁶ And he sayde: wo vnto you also ye lawers: for ye lade men with burthens which they be not not able to beare: and ye youre selues touche not the packes with one of youre fyngers. ⁴⁷ Wo vnto you: ye buylde the sepulchres of the Prophetes, and youre fathers kylled them, ⁴⁸ truly ye beare witnes, that ye alowe the dedes of youre fathers: for they kylled them, and ye buylde their sepulchres. ⁴⁹ Therfore sayde the wisdome of God, I will send them Prophetes and Apostles and some of them they shall slaye and persecute: ⁵⁰ that the bloude of all Prophetes (which is shed from the begynninge of the worlde) maye be required of this generacion, ⁵¹ from the bloude of Abell, vnto the bloud of Zachary, which perished betwene the aulter and the temple. Uerely I saye vnto you: it shalbe required of this nacion. 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. ⁵³ When he thus spake vnto them, the lawears and the Pharises began to wexe busye aboute him, and capciously to aske him many thinges, ⁵⁴ layinge wayte for him, and sekynge to catche some thinge of his mouth, wherby they might accuse him.

¹⁹ and beleuest that thou thy selfe art a gyde of the blynde, a lyght of them which are in darcknes, ²⁰ an infourmer of them which lacke discrecyon, a teacher of the vnlearned, which hast that ensample of knowledge, & of the truthe by the lawe. ²¹ Thou therfore which teachest another, teachest not thy selfe Thou preachest, a man shulde not steale: yet thou stealest. ²² Thou that sayst, a man shuld not commyt aduoutry, breakest wedlocke. Thou abhorrest ymages, and yet robbest God of his honoure.

¹⁷ because thou sayest: I am ryche & incresyd wyth goodes, and haue nede of nothyng, and knowest not, how thou art wretched & myserable, and poore, & blynde and nakyd.

²¹ Wo be vnto them that are wyse in theyr awne syght, and thynke them selues to haue vnderstandynge.

³⁵ Yet darest thou saye: I am gyltlesse. Tush, his wrath can not come vpon me. Beholde, I condempne the in iudgement, because thou darest saye: I haue not offended.

⁴⁷ The seruaunt that knewe his masters will and prepared not him selfe, nether dyd accordinge to hys wyll, shalbe beaten with many strypes.

¹⁴ I tell you: thys man departed home to hys house iustyfyed, more then the other. For euery one that exalteth him self, shalbe brought lowe: And he that humbleth him selfe, shalbe exalted.

²² If I had not come and spoken vnto them, they shuld haue had no synne: but now haue they nothyng to cloke their synne withall. ²³ He that hateth me, hateth my father also: ²⁴ If I had not done amonge them the workes whych none other man dyd, they shuld haue had no synne. But now haue they both sene, & hated: not onely me but also my father.

²⁶ For yf we synne wyllfully after that we haue receaued the knowledge of the trueth, ther remayneth nomore sacryfyce for synnes,

⁸ If we saye that we haue no synne, we deceaue oure selues, and the trueth is not in vs: ⁹ If we knowledge oure synnes, he is faythfull & iust, to forgeue vs oure synnes, and to clense vs from all vnryghtewesnes. ¹⁰ If we saye we haue not synned, we make hym a lyar, and hys worde is not in vs.
