And afterwarde maketh a God there of, to honoure it: & an Idole to knele before it. ¹⁶ One pece he burneth in the fyre, with another he rosteth flesh, that he maye eate roste his bely full: with the thryde he warmeth him self, and sayeth: Aha, I am well warmed, I haue bene at the fyre. ¹⁷ And of the residue he maketh him a God, & an Idole for him selfe. He kneleth before it, he worshippeth it, he prayeth vnto it, & sayeth: delyuer me, for thou art my God. ¹⁸ Yet men nether consydre ner vnderstande, because theyr eyes are stopped, that they cannot se: and their hertes, that they cannot perceaue. ¹⁹ They pondre not in theyr myndes, for they haue nether knowledge ner vnderstandynge, to thincke thus. I haue brent one pece in the fyre. I haue baked bread with the coles there of, I haue rosted flesh with all, & eaten it: shall I nowe of the resydue make an abhominable Idole, and fall downe before a rotten pece of wood? ²⁰ Thus he doth but lese hys laboure, and hys herte which is disceaued, doth turne hym asyde: so that none of them can haue a fre conscience to thincke: maye not Ierre?

³ For who so slayeth an oxe for me, doth me so greate dishonoure, as he that kylleth a man. He that kylleth a shepe for me, knetcheth a dogge.

Yet take they soch wayes in hande, and their soule delyteth in these abhominacyons.

³ yee, al the customes and lawes of the Gentyles are nothynge, but vanyte. They hewe downe a tree in the wod with the handes of the worckeman, and fashyon it wt the axe: ⁴ they couer it ouer with golde or siluer, they fasten it with nayles & hammers, that it moue not. ⁵ It standeth as styf as the palme tree, it can nether speake ner go one fote, but must be borne. Be not ye afrayed of soch, for they can do nether good ner euell.

⁸ They are all together vnlerned & vnwyse in this one thynge. All theyr connynge is but vanyte:

¹⁸ What helpe then will the ymage do, whom the worckman hath fashioned? Or the vayne cast ymage, wherin because the craftesman putteth his trust, therfore maketh he domme Idols? ¹⁹ Wo vnto hym, that sayeth to a pece of wod: aryse, & to a domme stone: stande vp. For what instruccyon maye soch one geue? Beholde it is layed ouer with gold & syluer and there is no breth in it.

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

⁶ Ye fooles (no doute) wyll take out syluer & golde oute of youre purses, and wepe it, & hyre a goldsmyth to make a God of it, that men maye knele downe and worshyppe it. ⁷ Yet must he be taken on mennes shoulders & borne, and set in his place, that he maye stande and not moue out of his place. Alas, that men shuld crye crie vnto him which geueth no answere: and delyuereth not the man that calleth vpon him, from hys trouble:

⁹ namely, wod, syluer, which is brought out of Tharsis, & beaten to plates: and golde from Ophir, a worcke that is made with the hande of the craftesman & the caster, clothed wt yelow sylck & scarlet: euen so is the worcke of theyr wyse men all together. ¹⁰ But the Lorde is a true God, a lyuynge God, & an euerlastynge kynge. If he be wroth, the earth shaketh: all the Gentyles maye not abyde his indygnacyon.

¹⁹ But Laban was gone to shere hys shepe, & Rahel had stolen hyr fathers ymages.

¹⁵ And thou shalt make the brestlap of iudgement with broderd worke, euen after the worke of the Ephod shalt thou make it: namely of golde, yelow sylke, purple, skarlet, and whyte twyned silke, shalt thou make it.

⁹ and put albes vpon them, and gyrd them with gyrdels, aswell Aaron, as his sonnes. And put the myters on them, and the preastes office shalbe theirs for a perpetuall lawe. And thou shalt fyll the handes of Aaron and of his sonnes:

²⁷ And Gedeon made an Ephod therof, & put it in his citie Ephrah And all Israell went a whoryng after it, in the same place, whych thynge became a ruyne vnto Gedeon and to his house.

¹⁴ Then answered the fyue men that went to spye out the countre of Lais, & sayde vnto their brethren: wot ye not that there is in these houses an Ephod, Theraphim, a grauen ymage, & an ymage of metall? Now therfore consydre what ye haue to do.

²⁴ And he sayd: ye haue taken awaye my goddes whych I made, and also the preste, and go your wayes with them. And what haue I more? how then saye ye vnto me, what ayleth the?

⁶ And it chaunced, when Abiathar the sonne of Ahimelech fled to Dauid to keila, that he brought an Ephod with him in his hande.

³¹ And he made an housse of hillaultares, and made preastes of the lowest of the people, which were not of the sonnes of Leui.

³³ Howbeit, for all that, Ieroboam conuerted not from hys wycked waye: but turned backe, and made of the lowest of the people preastes of the hill aultares. And whoso pleased hym, he fylled hys hande, and he became preaste of the hill aultares. ³⁴ And this thynge turned to synne vnto the house of Ieroboam euen to destroye hym, and to brynge hym to naught from of the face the erthe.

⁷ And kyng Cyrus brought forth the vessels of the house of the Lord, which Nabuchodonosor had taken out of Ierusalem, and had put in the house of his God.

²⁵ In those dayes there, was no kynge in Israel: but euery man dyd that which semed ryght in his awne eyes.

⁴ Whych haue sayde: wyth oure tonge wyll we preuayle: we are they that ought to speake, who is Lord ouer vs.

¹⁵ Loke what a foole taketh in hande, he thynketh it well done: but he that is wyse, wyll be counceled.

¹² There is awaye which some men thynke to be ryght, but the ende therof leadeth vnto death.

² A man thynketh all hys wayes to be cleane, but it is the Lorde that iudgeth the myndes.

⁹ Be glad then (O thou yonge man) in thy youth, and let thyne hert be mery in thy yong dayes, folowe the wayes of thyne awne herte, & the lust of thine eyes but be thou sure, that God shall brynge the into iudgement for all these thynges.

¹⁶ As for the wordes that thou hast spoken vnto vs, in the name of the Lorde, we wyll in no wyse heare them: ¹⁷ but whatsoeuer goeth out of oure awne mouthe, that we wyll do. We wyll do sacrifyce and offer oblatyons vnto the quene of heauen, lyke as we and our forefathers, oure kynges and oure heades haue done in the cytie of Iuda, and in the stretes and feldes of Ierusalem. For then had we plenteousnes of vitayles, then were we in prosperyte, and no mysfortune came vpon vs.

¹⁵ And Iatath, Nahalol, Semron, Iedalah, and Bethlehem: twelue cyties wyth their villages.

¹ It fortuned, that when the Iudges iudged, there fell a darth in the lande, and a certen man of Bethlehem Iuda went for to soiourne in the contreye of Moab: he and hys wyfe, and hys two sonnes. ² The name of the man was Elimelec, and the name of hys wyfe, Naomi: and the names of hys two sonnes were, Mahlon and Chilion, and they were Ephraites, out of Bethlehem Iuda. And when they came into the land of Moab, they contynued there.

² And thou Bethleem Ephrata, art lytle amonge the thou sandes of Iuda, Out of the shal come vnto me, which shal be the gouernoure in Israel: whose out goynge hath bene from the begynning, & from euerlastynge.

¹ When Iesus was borne at Bethleem a cytie of Iewry, in the tyme of Herode the kynge. Beholde, there came wyse men from the east to Ierusalem,

⁵ And they sayd vnto hym: At Bethleem in Iewrye. For thus it is wrytten by the prophet: ⁶ And thou Bethleem in the lande of Iuda, art not the leest among the princes of Iuda. For oute of the shal there come vnto me the captayne, that shall gouerne my people Israel.

³³ And Eleazar the sonne of Aaron dyed, whom they buryed in a hill that pertayned to Phinehes his sonne, which (hill) was geuen him in mount Ephraim.

¹¹ And the Leuite was content to dwell wt the man, and was vnto hym as one of hys awne sonnes.

¹⁰ And I perceaued, that the porcions of the Leuites were not geuen them, and that euery one fled to his land, euen the Leuites and syngers that executed the worke. ¹¹ Then reproued I the rulers, & sayd? why is the house of God forsaken? And I gathered them together, & set them in their place.

⁸ So nowe it was not ye that sent me hyther, but God: which hath made me a father vnto Pharao & Lorde of all hys house, & ruler thorowe out all the lande of Egypte.

¹⁹ They answered hym: holde thy peace, laye thyne hande vpon thy mouth, and come with vs, to be oure father & preste. Is it better for the to be a preste vnto the house of one man, then to be a prest vnto a trybe or a kynred in Israell? ²⁰ And the preste was glad and toke the Ephod, and Theraphim, and the grauen ymage, & went with the people.

³⁶ And they that are left in thyne house, shall come, and crouch to him for a lytle pece of syluer & a cake of bread, & shall saye: put me (I praye the) in one offyce or other amonge the prestes, that I maye eate a morsell of bread.

²¹ And the kynge of Israel sayde vnto Elisa, when he sawe them: My father, shall I smyte them:

⁸ And the kynge sayde vnto Hazael: take a present in thine hande, and goo mete the man of God, that thou mayest aske the Lord by him, whether I shall recouer of this disease. ⁹ And so Hazael went to mete him and toke the present with him, and of euery good thinge of Damascon, euen as moch as fourtye Cameles coulde beare, and came & presented hym selfe before hym, and sayde: Thy sonne Benhadad kynge of Siria hath sent me to the, sayinge, shall I recouer of this dysease?

¹⁴ When Elisa was fallen sycke of hys sycknesse (wher of he dyed) Ioas the kinge of Israel came downe vnto hym, & wepte before him, & sayd: O my father, my father, the charet of Israel, & the horsemen of the same.

¹⁶ I was a father vnto the poore: and when I knewe not the cause, I sought it out diligently.

²¹ And with thy garmentes will I clothe him, and wyth thy gyrdle will I strength hym: thy power also will I committe into his hande & he shalbe a father of such as dwel in Ierusalem, and in the house of Iuda.

¹⁹ and dishonoure me to my people, for an handfull of barly, and for a pece of bread: whan ye kyll the soules of them, that dye not, and promes lyfe to them, that lyue not: Thus ye dissemble wt my people, that beleueth youre lyes.

¹⁵ and sayd vnto them: what will ye geue me, and I wyll delyuer him vnto you? And they apoynted vnto hym thyrty peces of syluer.

⁶ This he sayd, not that he cared for the pore but because he was a thefe, and had the bagge, & bare that which was geuen.

¹⁰ For coueteousnes of money is the rote of all euyll: whych whyll some lusted after, they erred from the fayth, & tanglyd them selues with many sorowes.

² Fede ye Christes flocke, asmoch as lyeth in you, takynge the ouersyght of them, not as compelled therto, but wyllyngly: not for the desyre of fylthy lucre: but of a good mynde,

⁵ and spake vnto Corah and vnto all his company, saying: to morowe the Lorde will shewe who are his, who is holy, & who ought to approch nye vnto him, and whom he hath chosen to come to him.

⁸ And Moses sayde vnto Corah: heare ye chyldren of Leui: ⁹ Is it but a small thinge vnto you, that the God of Israel hath separated you from the multitude of Israel: and brought you to him selfe, to do the seruyce of the dwelling place of the Lord, and to stande before the multitude, and to minystre vnto him? ¹⁰ he hath taken the to him and all thy brethren the sonnes of Leui with the, and seke ye the offyce of the preaste also.

³⁰ And the chyldren of Dan set them vp the grauen ymage. And Ionathan the sonne of Gerson, the sonne of Manasses and hys sonnes were the prestes in the trybe of Dan vntyll they were caryed awaye out of the land captyue.

²⁰ Thus he doth but lese hys laboure, and hys herte which is disceaued, doth turne hym asyde: so that none of them can haue a fre conscience to thincke: maye not Ierre?

³ For who so slayeth an oxe for me, doth me so greate dishonoure, as he that kylleth a man. He that kylleth a shepe for me, knetcheth a dogge. He that bryngeth me meatoffrynges, offreth swynes bloude: Who so maketh me a memoryall of incense, prayseth the thynge that is vnryght. Yet take they soch wayes in hande, and their soule delyteth in these abhominacyons. ⁴ Therfore wyll I also haue pleasure in laughynge them to scorne, and the thynge that they feare, wyll I brynge vpon them. For when I called, no man gaue answere: when I spake, they wolde not heare: But did wickednesse before myne eyes, and chose the thynges that displease me.

⁹ but in vayne do they serue me; teachynge the doctrines and preceptes of men.

¹³ But he answered and sayd. Euery plante which my heauenly father hath not planted, shalbe plucked vp by the rotes.

⁹ I also verely thought in my selfe, that I ought to do many contrary thynges, cleane agaynst the name of Iesus of Nazareth:

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.
