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.

²⁶ Thy prestes breake my lawe, and defyle my Sanctuary. They put no difference betwene the holye & vnholye, nether discerne betwene the cleane & vncleane: they turne their eyes fro my sabbathes, & I am vnhalowed amonge them.

⁶ my people perish, because they haue no knowledg. Seinge then that thou hast refused vnderstanding, therfore wyll I refuse the also: so that thou shalt nomore be my preste. And for so moche as thou hast forgotten the lawe of thy God, I wyll also forget thy chyldren.

¹ O ye prestes: heare this, take hede, O the housholde of Israel: gene care, O thou kyngly house, for it wer youre parte to se Iudgement done, but you are become a snare vnto Myzphah, and a spred net vnto the mount of Thabor.

⁸ Ephraim thinketh thus: Tush, I am rich. I haue good ynough: In all my worckes shall not one fawte be founde that I haue offended.

⁸ But as for you, ye are gone clene out of the waye, and haue caused the multitude to be offended at the lawe: ye haue broken the couenaunt of Leui, sayeth the Lorde of hostes.

¹⁴ And yet ye saye: wherfore? Euen because that where as the Lorde made a couenaunt betwixte the and the wyfe of thy youth, thou hast despysed. Yet is she thyne awne companyon and maryed wyfe. ¹⁵ So dyd not the one, and yet had he an excellent sprete. What dyd then the one? He sought the sede promised of God. Therfore loke well to your sprete, and let no man despyse the wyfe of his youth. ¹⁶ Yf thou hatest her put her awaye sayeth the Lorde God of Israell and geue her clothynge for the scorne, sayeth the Lorde of Hostes. Loke well then to youre sprete, and despyse her not. ¹⁷ Ye greue the Lorde with your wordes, & yet ye saye: wherwith al haue we greued him? In this, that ye saye. Al that do euel are good in the syght of God, and soch please hym. Or els where is the God that punisheth?

⁹ after thys maner therfore praye ye. Oure father which art in heauen, halowed be thy name.

¹⁴ Therfore, yf ye forgeue other men theyr trespasses, your heuenly father shall forgeue you. ¹⁵ But yf ye wyll not forgeue men theyr trespasses, nomore shall your father forgeue you youre trespasses.

²¹ Not euery one that sayth vnto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kyngdome of heauen: but he that doth the wyll of my father, which is in heauen.

⁴ For God commaundeth sayinge: honoure father and mother, and he that cursseth father or mother: let hym dye the deeth.

⁶ And thus haue ye made the commaundement of God of none effecte, because of youre awne tradicyon.

¹⁹ honoure father and mother: and thou shalt loue thyne neybour as thy selfe.

¹⁰ For Moses sayd: honoure thy father & thy mother: & whoso curseth father or mother, let him dye the death.

¹⁹ Thou knowest the commaundementes: breake not matrimony: kyll not: steale not, beare no false wytnes: defraude no man: honoure thy father and mother.

³⁶ Be ye therfore mercyfull, as your father also is mercyfull.

⁴⁶ Why call ye me Lord Lord, and do not as I byd you:

²⁰ Thou knowest the commaundementes: Thou shalt not commit aduoutry: thou shalt not kyll: thou shalt not steale, thou shalt not beare false wytnes: honoure thy father & thy mother.

¹³ Ye call me master and Lorde, and ye saye well, for so am I. ¹⁴ If I then youre lorde and master haue wasshed youre fete, ye also ought to wasshe one anothers fete. ¹⁵ For I haue geuen you an ensample that ye shulde do, as I haue done to you. ¹⁶ Uerely verely, I saye vnto you: the seruaunte is not greater then his master, nether the messenger greater then he that sent hym. ¹⁷ If ye vnderstande these thinges happy are ye, yf ye do them.

² Honoure thy father and mother, (the same is the fyrst commaundement in the promes)

¹ Let as many seruauntes as are vnder the yoke, counte theyr masters worthy of all honour, that the name of God & hys doctryne be not euyll spoken of. ² Se that they whych haue beleuynge masters, despyse them not because they are brethren: but rather do seruyce, for as moch as they are beleuynge and beloued, & partakers of the benefyte.

⁹ Exhort seruauntes, to be obedient vnto their awne masters, & to please them in all thinges, not answering agayne, ¹⁰ nether to be pickers, but that they shewe all good faythfulnes, that they maye do worshippe to the doctrine of God oure saueoure in all thynges.

¹⁷ And yf so be that ye call on the father, which wythout respect of person iudgeth according to euery mannes worke, se that ye passe the tyme of youre pilgremage in feare.

¹⁷ Honoure all men. Loue brotherly feleshyppe. Feare God, honoure the kynge. ¹⁸ Seruauntes, obey your masters wt feare not onely yf they be good & courteous: but also though they be froward ¹⁹ For it is thanke worthye yf a man for conscience towarde God endure grefe, and suffer wrong vndeserued.

¹¹ All the meateofferynges which ye shall brynge vnto the Lord, shalbe made without leuen. For ye shal nether burne leuen nor honye in any offerynge of the Lorde:

⁶ They shalbe holy vnto their God, and not polute the name of their God, for the sacrifyces of the Lorde which are as the bread of their God they do offer: therfore they shall be holy.

²¹ If there be any deformyte therin, as yf it be lame, or blynde, or haue any other euell fauorednesse, thou shalt not offer it vnto the Lord thy God:

¹⁵ Yee & therto, before they burnt the fatte, the Preastes ladd came and sayd to the man that offered: geue flesh that I maye dresse it for the Preaste, for he wyll not haue sodden fleshe of the, but rawe. ¹⁶ And yf any man sayde vnto hym: let them burne the fatt according to the daye, & then take as moche as thine herte desyreth. The ladd wold answere him, yee, thou shalt geue it me now: and yf thou wylt not, I wyll take it with violence. ¹⁷ And the synne of the youngmen was very great before the Lorde. For men abhorred the offeryng of the Lorde.

²² The table was of wodde .iij. cubites hye and .ij. cubytes longe: hys corners, the length & the walles were of wodde. And he sayde vnto me: Thys is the table, that shall stande before the Lorde.

⁸ Yf ye offre the blynde, is not that euel? And yf ye offre the lame and sycke, is not that euell? Yee, offre it vnto thy prince, shal he be content with the, or accepte thy personne, sayeth the Lorde of hostes?

¹² But ye haue vnhalowed it, in that ye saye, the aulter of the Lorde is not to be regarded, and the thyng that is set thervpon not worthy to be eaten.

²¹ Ye can not dryncke of the cup of the Lorde, and of the cup of deuyls. Ye cannot be the partakers of the Lordes table, and of the table of deuelles.

²¹ And one is hongry, and another is droncken. Haue ye not houses to eate and to drincke in? ²² Despyse ye the congregacion of God, and shame them that haue not? What shall I saye vnto you? shal I prayse you? In this prayse I you not.

²⁷ Wherfore, whosoeuer, shall eate of this bread, or dryncke of the cup of the Lorde vnworthely, shalbe gyltye of the body and bloud of the Lorde. ²⁸ But let a man examen him selfe, and so let him eate of the breed, and drincke of the cup. ²⁹ For he that eateth or dryncketh vnworthely, eateth and dryncketh his awne damnacyon, because he maketh no difference of the Lordes body. ³⁰ For this cause many are weake and sycke amonge you, and many slepe. ³¹ For If we had iudged oure selues, we shuld not haue bene iudged. ³² But when we are iudged of the Lorde, we are chastened, that we shulde not be damned with the worlde.

¹⁹ ye shall offre (to reconcyle youre selues) a male without blemyshe of the oxen, of the shepe, or of the goates. ²⁰ But whatsoeuer hath a blemyshe, that shall ye not offre, for ye shall gett no fauoure therwith. ²¹ And whosoeuer bringeth a peace offringe vnto the Lorde (accordynge as he is apoynted) or a vowe, or a frewyll offeringe, in oxe or shepe, that is without deformyte, he shall be accepted. ²² There shalbe also no blemyshe therin: blinde, or broken, or wounded, or haue a wen, or be mawnge, or scabbed. Ye shall not offre soche vnto the Lorde, nor put an offerynge of any soche vpon the alter vnto the Lorde. ²³ An oxe or a shepe that hath any membre out of proporcion, mayst thou offer for a frewillofferynge: but for a vowe it shall not be accepted. ²⁴ Ye shall not offer vnto the Lorde that which is broosed, or broken, or plucked out, or cut awaye, nether shall ye make any soch in youre lande, ²⁵ nether of a straungers hande shall ye offer bread vnto youre God of any soche. Because their corrupcyon is in them, and they haue deformite in them selues, and therfore shall they not be accepted for you.

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.

³ Remembre all thy offerynges, and accepte thy brent sacrifyce Sela.

¹⁰ Thus hath the Lord sayd vnto this people: seyng they haue had suche a lust to wander abrode, & haue not refrayned theyr fete, & therfore displeased the Lord: but he wyll now bringe agayne to remembraunce all their mysdedes, & ponyshe all theyr synnes.

¹³ Where as they do sacrifyce, offerynge the flesshe and eatinge it: the Lorde wyll haue no pleasure therin: but wyll remembre theyr wickednes, & punishe their synnes. Israel turneth agayne into Egipt,

¹⁰ Yee, what is he amonge you, that wyl do so moch as to shut the dores, or to kindle the fyre vpon myne aulter for naught? I haue no pleasure in you, sayeth the Lord of hostes: and as for the meatoffringe, I wyl not accepte it at youre hande.

¹³ Now saye ye: It is but laboure and trauayle, and thus haue ye thought scorne at it (sayeth the Lorde of hoostes) offrynge robbery, yee, the lame and the sycke. Ye haue brought me in a meatofferyng, shulde I accepte it of your hande, sayeth the Lorde? ¹⁴ Cursed be the dissembler, which hath in his flocke one that is a male, and when he maketh a vowe, offereth a spotted one vnto the Lord. For I am a greate kynge (sayeth the Lorde of hostes) and my name is fearfull among the Heathen.

¹¹ And Moses besought the Lord his God, and sayde: O Lorde, why doeth thy wrath waxe hote agaynst thy people, which thou hast brought oute of the lande of Egipte, wt greate power and with a mightye hande?

²⁷ And the preastes and the Leuites arose, and blessed the people, and theyr voyce was hearde of the Lord, and theyr prayer came vp vnto heauen, his holy dwellynge place.

¹⁹ Dyd Ezekiah the kynge of Iuda, and the people of Iuda put hym to death for this? No verely: but rather feared the Lord, and made theyr prayer vnto hym. For the which cause also the Lorde repented of the plage, that he had deuysed agaynst them. Shulde we then do soch a shamefull dede agaynst oure soules?

¹⁸ But yf they be true prophetes in very dede, and yf the worde of the Lorde be committed vnto them, then let them praye the Lorde of hostes, that the remnaunt of the ornamentes (which are in the house of the Lorde, and remayne yet in the house of the kynge of Iuda and at Ierusalem) be not caryed to Babylon also.

¹⁹ Stande vp and make thy praier in the fyrst watch of the nyght, poure oute thyne hert lyke water before the Lorde. lyft vp thyne handes, for the lyues of thy yonge chyldren, that dye of honger in the stretes.

¹³ Gyrde you, and make youre mone, O ye prestes, mourne ye minystres of the aulter: goo your waye in, and slepe in sack cloth, O ye officiers of my God: for the meat & drinkofferinge shall be taken awaye from the house of youre God. ¹⁴ Proclayme a fastinge, call the congregacyon, gather the elders and all the inhabitours of the lande together into the house of the Lorde your God, and crye vnto the Lorde:

¹⁷ Lett the prestes serue the Lorde betwyxte the porch and the aulter, wepinge and sayinge: be fauourable, O Lorde, be fauourable vnto thy people: let not thyne heritage be brought to soch confusyon, lest the Heathen be lordes therof. Wherfore shulde they saye amonge the Heathen: where is nowe theyr God.

¹ And he shewed me Iesua the hye prest standyng before the angel of the lord and Satan stode at his ryght hand to resyst hym. ² And the Lord sayde vnto Satan. The Lorde reproue the (thou Satan,) yee, the Lorde that hath chosen Ierusalem, reproue the. Is not thys a brand taken out of the fyre? ³ Nowe Iesua was clothed in vncleane raiment, and stode before the aungel ⁴ whych answered and sayde vnto those that stode before hym, take awaye the foule clothes from hym. And vnto him he sayde. Beholde, I haue taken awaye thy synne from the and wyl decke the wyth chaung of rayment. ⁵ He sayde moreouer, sett a fayre myter vpon hys heade. So they set a fayre myter vpon hys heade, & put on clothes vpon hym, and the angel of the Lord stode there.

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.

¹⁵ And the euyll sprete answered and sayd: Iesus I knowe, & Paul I knowe: but who are ye? ¹⁶ And the man in whom the euyll sprete was, ranne on them, and ouercame them, and preuayled agaynst them so that they fledd out of that house naked and wounded.

¹¹ For ther is no respecte of parsonnes, with God. For whosoeuer hath synned wythout lawe,

²⁶ For soch an hye Prest it became vs to haue, which is holy, harmlesse, vndefiled, separate from synners, made hyer then heauen. ²⁷ Which nedeth not dayly (as yonder hye prestes) to offer vp sacrifice. Fyrst for his awne synnes and then for the peoples synnes. For that dyd he once, when he offered vp him self.

⁹ Sathan answered, and sayde vnto the Lord. Doth Iob feare God for naught? ¹⁰ hast thou not preserued him, & his house, and all that he hath on euery syde? Thou hast blessed the worckes of hys handes, and hys possessyon is encreased in the lande. ¹¹ But laye thyne hand now vpon hym and touch all that he hath, and he shal curse the to thy face.

¹¹ Why offre ye so many sacrifices vnto me saith Lorde? I am full of the brentoffrynges of wethers, and of the fatnesse of fedbeastes. I haue no pleasure in the bloud of bullokes, lambes and goates. ¹² When ye come to apeare before me, who requireth this of you to treade within my porches? ¹³ Therfore offre me no mo oblacions, for it is but lost laboure. Incense is an abhominable thinge vnto me. I Maye not awaye with youre newe moones, your Sabbathes & gatheringe togyther at the solempne dayes. ¹⁴ I hate your newe mone dayes & solempne feastes, euen fro my very hert. I can not awaye wt suche vanitie & holdinge in of the people. ¹⁵ They lye vpon me as a burthen, and I am wery of beringe them. Whan ye holde out your handes, I will turne myne eyes from you. And though ye make many prayers, yet wil I heare nothynge at all, seyng your handes are ful of bloude.

¹¹ they are shamelesse dogges, that be neuer satisfyed. The sheperdes also in lyke maner haue no vnderstandynge, but euery man turneth his awne waye, euery one after his awne couetousnes with all hys power. ¹² Come (saye they) I wyll fetch wyne, so shall we fyll oure selues, that we maye be dronken. And do to morowe, lyke as to daye, yee and moche more.

¹³ For from the leest vnto the most, they hange all vpon couetousnesse, & from the prophete vnto the prest, they go all aboute with falsheed and lyes.

²⁰ Wherfore, bryng ye me incense from Saba, & swete smellyng Calamus from farre countrees? Your burnt offerynges dysplease me, & I reioyce not in your sacrifyces.

¹⁰ Wherfore, I wyll geue theyr wyues vnto aleauntes, and theyr feldes to destroyers. For from the lowest vnto the hyest, they folowe all filthy lucre: & from the Prophete vnto the preste, they deale all wt lyes.

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.

⁶ They shall come with their shepe and bullockes to seke the Lorde, but they shall not fynde him, for he is gone from them.

²¹ I hate and abhorre your holy dayes, & where as ye cense me when ye come together, I wyll not accepte it. ²² And though ye offre me brent offrynges and meat offrynges, yet haue I no pleasure therin. As for your fat thanckofferynges. I wyll not loke vpon them: ²³ Awaye with that noyse of thy songes, I will not heare thy playes of musyck: ²⁴ but se that equytie flowe as the water, and ryghteousnesse as a myghtye streame.

¹¹ O ye iudges, ye geue sentence for gyftes: O ye preastes, ye teach for lucre. O ye prophetes, ye prophecy for mony. Yet will they be taken as those that holde vpon God, and saye: Is not the Lord amonge vs? Tush, there can no mysfortune happen vs.

¹² An hyred seruaunt, and he which is not the shepeherd (nether the shepe are his awne) seeth the wolfe comminge, and leaueth the shepe, and flieth, and the wolfe catcheth, and scattereth the shepe.

¹³ Do ye not knowe, howe that they which minister aboute holy thinges lyue of the sacrifyce? They which wayte of the temple, are partakers of the temple.

²¹ For all other seke theyr awne, and not the thynges which are Iesus Christes.

³⁸ But the iust shall lyue by faith. And yf he withdrawe him selfe, my soule shall haue no pleasure in him.

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,

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. ²⁸ For the kyngdom is the Lordes, and he is the gouernoure amonge the people. ²⁹ All soche as be fat vpon earth haue eaten & worshypped. ³⁰ All they that go downe into the dust, shall knele before him & no man hath quyckened hys awne soule. ³¹ Sede shall serue him: they shalbe counted vnto the Lorde for a generacyon. They shall come, and shall declare hys ryghteousnes: vnto a people that shall be borne, whom the Lorde hath made.

¹ A Psalme of Asaph. The Lorde euen the most myghtye God hath spoken, and called the world from the rysyng vp of the sonne vnto the goyng downe therof.

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

¹¹ All kinges shal fall downe before him: all nacions shall do him seruice. ¹² For he shall delyuer the poore when he cryeth: the neady also and him that hath no helper. ¹³ He shalbe fauorable to the simple and neady: and shall preserue the soules of the poore. ¹⁴ He shall delyuer their soules from falshede and wronge, and deare shall theyr bloud be in his syght. ¹⁵ He shall lyue, & vnto him shalbe geuen of the golde of Arabia: Prayer shalbe made euer vnto him, and daylie shall he be praysed. ¹⁶ There shalbe an heape of corne in the earth hye vpon the hylles, his frute shall shake lyke Libanus, and shalbe grene in the cite, like grasse vpon the earth. ¹⁷ His name shall endure for euer, his name shall remayne vnder the sunne amonge the posterites, which shalbe blessed thorow him, and all the Heathen shall prayse him

¹ A Psalme. O synge vnto the Lord a new songe, for he hath done maruelous thynges. ² With hys awne ryght hande and wyth his holy arme hath he gotten hym selfe the victory. ³ The Lord declared hys saluacyon, his ryghteousnes hath he openly shewed in the syght of the Heathen.

³ The Lordes name is praysed, from the risyng vp of the Sunne vnto the goynge downe of the same.

² Let my prayer be set forth in thy sight as the incense: & let the lyftyng vp of my handes be an eueninge sacrifyce.

⁹ No man shall do euel to another, no man shal destroye another, in all the hyll of my holynes. For the earth shalbe full of the knowledge of the Lord, euen as the see floweth ouer with water. 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.

¹⁴ They shall lyft vp theyr voyce: and make a mery noyse, and in magnifyeng of the Lord shall they crye out of the west. ¹⁵ Wherfore, prayse ye the lord in the valleys, euen the name of the lord God of Israel in the Iles of the see ¹⁶ From the vttemost parte of the earth haue we heard prayses and myrth because of the ryghteous. And I sayd: I knowe a thyng in secrete, I knowe a thyng in secrete, wo is me, the transgressours haue offended, the transgressours haue greuously offended.

¹⁰ Synge vnto the Lorde, a newe songe of thanckesgeuinge, blowe out his prayse from the ende of the worlde. They that be vpon the see, and all that is therin, prayse hym, the Iles and they that dwell in them. ¹¹ Let the wyldernes with the cyties lifte vp her voyce, the townes also that they of Cedar dwell in. Lett them be glad that syt vpon rockes of stone, and let them crye downe from the hye mountaynes: ¹² ascrybynge glorye vnto the Lorde, and magnifyinge hym amonge the Gentyles.

⁶ that I myght be knowne from the rysing of the sunne to the goynge downe of the same, that all is nothynge without me. For I am the Lorde, and there is els none.

²² And therfore turne you vnto me (all ye endes of the earth) that ye maye be saued: for I am God, & there is els none. ²³ I sweare by my selfe: oute of my mouth commeth the word of ryghteousnesse, and that maye no man turne: but all knees shall bowe vnto me, and all tunges shall sweare by my name,

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. ⁷ Moreouer, thus sayth the Lorde the auenger and holy one of Israel: because of the abhorringe and despysinge amonge the Gentiles, concerning the seruaunt of all them that beare rule. Kynges and princes shall se, and aryse and worshyp, because of the Lord that is faythfull: & because of the holy one of Israel, which hath chosen the.

²² And therfore thus sayth the Lorde God: Behold, I wyll stretch out myne hande to the Gentyls, and set vp my token to the people. They shall bring the thy sonnes in their lappes: and carye thy daughters vnto the vpon their shoulders. ²³ For kinges shalbe thy nursyng fathers, and quenes shalbe thy nursing mothers. They shall fall before the wt theyr faces flatt vpon the earth: and lycke vp the dust of thy fete: that thou mayst knowe how that I am the Lorde. And who so putteth his trust in me, shall not be confounded.

¹ Be glad now, thou baren that bearest not, reioyce, synge and be mery thou that art not wyth chylde: For the desolate hath moo chyldren, then the maryed wyfe, sayeth the Lorde. ² Make thy tentes wyder, and sprede out the hangynges of thyne habitacion: spare not, laye forth thy coardes, and make fast thy stakes: ³ for thou shalt be multiplied on the ryght syde & on the left, and thy sede shall haue the Gentyles in possessyon and dwell in the desolate cyties.

⁵ For he that made the, shalbe thy Lord & husbande (whose name is the Lorde of hostes) and thy redemer shalbe euen the holy one of Israel, the Lorde of the whole worlde.

¹⁹ wher thorowe the name of the Lorde myght be feared, from the rysynge of the Sunne: and hys magesty, vnto the goinge downe of the same. For he shall come as a violent waterstreame, whych the wynde of the Lorde hath moued.

¹ Get the vp by tymes, & be bryght, for thy lyght commeth, & the glory of the Lorde is rysen vp vpon the. ² For lo, whyle the darcknesse & cloude couereth the earth and the people, the Lorde shall shewe the lyght, & his glory shall be sene in the. ³ The Gentiles shall come to thy lyght, and kynges to the bryghtnes that spryngeth forth vpon the. ⁴ Lyft vp thyne eyes, & loke rounde aboute the? All these gather themselues, & come to the. Thy Sonnes shall come vnto the from farre, and thy daughters shall gather them selues to the on euery syde. ⁵ Then thou shalt se thys: and be gloriouse, thou shalt maruell exceadyngly, and thyne hert shalbe opened: when the abundaunce of the see shalbe conuerted vnto the (that is) when the ryches of the Gentiles shall come vnto the. ⁶ The multitude of Camels shall couer the, the dromedaries of Madian & Epha All they of Saba shall come, bryngynge golde & incense, & shewinge the prayse of the Lord. ⁷ All the catell of Cedar shalbe gathered vnto the, the rammes of Nabaioth shall serue the, to be offred acceptablye vpon myne aulter, which I haue chosen, & in the house of my glory which I haue garnyshed. ⁸ But what are these, that fle here lyke the cloudes, & as the doues flyenge to theyr wyndowes? ⁹ The Iles also shall wayte for me, & specially the shyppes of Tharsis: that they maye brynge thy sonnes from farre, & theyr syluer & their golde with them, vnto the name of the Lorde thy God, vnto the holy one of Israel, that hath glorifyed the. ¹⁰ Straungers shall buylde vp thy walles, & theyr kynges shall do the seruyce. For when I was angrie, I smote the: and of my mercye, I pardoned the: ¹¹ Thy gates shall stande open styll both daye and nyght, and neuer be shut: that the hooste of the Gentiles maye come, and that theyr kinges maye be brought vnto the.

¹⁶ Thou shalt sucke the mylck of the Gentiles, and kynges brestes shall fede the. And thou shalt know, that I the Lorde am thy Sauyoure and redemer, the myghty one of Iacob. ¹⁷ For brasse, wyll I geue the golde, and for yron syluer: for wod brasse, & for stones yron. I will torne thyne oppressyon into peace, & thyne exactyons into ryghteousnes. ¹⁸ Uiolence and robbery shall neuer be hearde of in thy lande, nether harme and destruccyon with in thy borders. Thy walles shalbe called health, and thy gates the prayse of God. ¹⁹ The Sunne shall neuer be thy daye lyght, and the lyght of the Moone shall neuer shyne vnto the: but the Lorde him selfe shalbe thyne euerlastyng lyght, and thy God shalbe thy glory. ²⁰ Thy Sunne shall neuer go downe, and thy Moone shall not be hydde, for the Lorde hym selfe shalbe thy euerlastynge lyght, and thy sorowfull dayes shalbe ended. ²¹ Thy people shalbe all ryghteous, and possesse the lande euer: the floure of my plantynge, the worke of my handes, wherof I wyll reioyce. ²² Thy yongest and leest shall growe in to a thousande, and the symplest in to a stronge people. I the Lorde shall shortly bringe this thinge to passe in his tyme.

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

¹² that they maye possesse the remnaunt of Edom, yee, and all soch people as call vpon my name wyth them, sayeth the Lorde, whych doth these thynges.

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

⁹ And then wyll I clense the lyppes of the people, that they maye euerychone call vpon the name of the Lorde, and serue him with one shulder.

⁷ Thus sayth the Lorde of hoostes: Beholde, I will delyuer my people from the lande of the east & west,

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

¹⁴ Cursed be the dissembler, which hath in his flocke one that is a male, and when he maketh a vowe, offereth a spotted one vnto the Lord. For I am a greate kynge (sayeth the Lorde of hostes) and my name is fearfull among the Heathen.

⁹ after thys maner therfore praye ye. Oure father which art in heauen, halowed be thy name. ¹⁰ Lett thy kyngdome come. Thy will be fulfylled, as well in earth, as it is in heauen.

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

¹⁰ And he went into the temple of the Lorde, & the whoale multitude of the people were without in prayer, whill the incense was a burninge.

²¹ Iesus sayeth vnto her: woman beleue me, the houre commeth, when ye shall (nether in this mountayne, nor yet at Ierusalem) worshyppe the fathers: ²² Ye worsshyp ye wote not what: we knowe what we worshyppe. For saluaciom commeth of the Iewes. ²³ But the houre commeth & now is, when the true worshyppers shall worshyppe the father in sprete, & in the treuth. For such the father also requyreth to worshyppe hym.

³⁰ And Cornelius sayd: This daye now .iiij. dayes about this houre, I sat fasting, and at the nynthe houre I prayde in my house: and behold, a man stode before me in bryght clothynge, 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. ³⁴ Then Peter opened his mouth, and sayde: Of a treuth I perceaue that there is no respect of persones with God, ³⁵ but in all people, he that feareth hym, and worketh ryghtewesnes, is accepted with him.

¹⁷ that the resydue of men myght seke after the Lord & also the Gentyls vpon whom my name is named sayth the Lorde, which doth all these thynges: ¹⁸ knowen vnto God are all hys workes from the begynning of the world.

¹ I beseche you therfore brethren, by the mercyfulnes of God, that ye make yor bodies a quycke sacryfice, holy & acceptable vnto God: which is youre resonable seruynge of God

⁹ that the gentyls myght prayse God for hys mercy, as it is wrytten. For this cause I will prayse the amonge the gentyls, and synge vnto thy name. ¹⁰ And agayne he sayth: reioyse ye gentyles wyth hys people. ¹¹ And agayne, prayse the Lorde all ye gentyls, and laude hym all ye nacyons together.

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

¹⁸ Neuertheles I receaued all, and haue plentie. I was euen fylled after that I receaued of Epaphroditus the thinges, which were sent from you, an odoure of a swete smell a sacrifyce accepted and pleasaunt to God.

⁸ I wyll therfore that the men praye euery where, lyftynge vp pure handes without wrath, or doubtinge.

¹⁵ By him therfore do we offer sacrifyce of lande alwayes to God: that is to saye, the frute of those lippes, which cofesse his name. ¹⁶ To do good & to distribute, forget not, for wt such sacrifyces God is pleased.

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,

³ And another angell came & stode before the aultre, hauynge a golden senser, & moch of odoures was geuen vnto him, that he shulde offre of the prayers of all saynctes vpon the golden aulter, whych was before the seate. ⁴ And the smoke of the odoures whych cam of the prayers of all saynctes, ascended vp before God out of the Angelles hande.

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

⁴ Who shall not feare o Lorde, & gloryfy thy name? For thou only arte holy, and all gentyls shall come and worshyppe before the, for thy iudgementes are made manyfeste.

⁴ And the rascall people that was amonge them, fell a lustyng, and turned them selues and wepte (euen as dyd also the chyldren of Israel) and sayde: who shall geue vs flesh to eate? ⁵ we remembre the fyshe which we dyd eate in Egipt for naught, & the Cucumbers, and melons, lekes, onyons & garleke. ⁶ But nowe oure soule is dryed awaye, for we can se nothyng els, saue Manna. ⁷ The manna was as coriander seed, and (to se to) lyke Bedellion. ⁸ And the people went about and gathered it, and grounde it in milles, or bet it in morters, and baked it in pannes, and made kakes of it. And the taist of it was like vnto the taist of an oyle kake.

¹⁴ Howbeit, because in doyng thys deade, thou hast geuen the enemyes of the Lord a cause to rayle, the chylde that is borne vnto the, shall surelye dye.

²¹ Then spared I my holy name, which the house of Israel had dishonoured amonge the Gentiles, to whom they came. ²² Therfore tell the house of Israel: Thus sayeth the Lord God: I do not this for your sakes (O house of Israell) but for my holy names sake, whych ye dishonoured amonge the Heathen, when ye came to them. ²³ Therfore, I wyll halowe my greate name agayne, which amonge the Gentiles is euell spoken of: for ye your selues haue dishonoured it amonge them. And the Gentiles shal knowe that I am the Lord, whan I am honoured in you before their eyes, sayeth the Lorde God.

³ So they brought the golden vessell, that was taken oute of the temple of the Lordes house at Ierusalem. Then the kynge and his Lordes with his quene and concubines droncke out of them. ⁴ They droncke wyne, and praysed theyr Idoles of golde, syluer, copper yron, wodde and stone.

⁷ They treade vpon poore mens heades, in the dust of the earth, & croke the wayes of the meke. The sonne and the father go to the harlot, to dishonoure my holy name,

⁶ Shulde not a sonne honoure his father, & a seruaunt his master? Yf I be now a father, where is myne honoure? Yf I be the Lord, where am I feared? sayeth the Lorde of hostes. Now to you prestes, that despyse my name. And yf ye saye: wherin haue we despised thy name? ⁷ In this, that ye offre vnclene bred vpon myne aulter. And yf ye wil saye: wherin haue we offered any vnclene thinge vnto the? In this that ye saye: the aulter of the Lorde is not to be regarded. ⁸ Yf ye offre the blynde, is not that euel? And yf ye offre the lame and sycke, is not that euell? Yee, offre it vnto thy prince, shal he be content with the, or accepte thy personne, sayeth the Lorde of hostes?

¹³ Now saye ye: It is but laboure and trauayle, and thus haue ye thought scorne at it (sayeth the Lorde of hoostes) offrynge robbery, yee, the lame and the sycke. Ye haue brought me in a meatofferyng, shulde I accepte it of your hande, sayeth the Lorde?

²⁴ For the name of God is euyll spoken of amonge the Gentyls, thorow you as it is wrytten.

⁸ Of a beast that dieth alone, or is rent wyth wylde beastes (wherby he maye be defyled) he shall not eate: I am the Lorde.

¹⁹ ye shall offre (to reconcyle youre selues) a male without blemyshe of the oxen, of the shepe, or of the goates. ²⁰ But whatsoeuer hath a blemyshe, that shall ye not offre, for ye shall gett no fauoure therwith. ²¹ And whosoeuer bringeth a peace offringe vnto the Lorde (accordynge as he is apoynted) or a vowe, or a frewyll offeringe, in oxe or shepe, that is without deformyte, he shall be accepted. ²² There shalbe also no blemyshe therin: blinde, or broken, or wounded, or haue a wen, or be mawnge, or scabbed. Ye shall not offre soche vnto the Lorde, nor put an offerynge of any soche vpon the alter vnto the Lorde. ²³ An oxe or a shepe that hath any membre out of proporcion, mayst thou offer for a frewillofferynge: but for a vowe it shall not be accepted.

²⁹ Wherfore treade ye downe my sacrifice and myne offeryng, which I commaunded to be made in the Tabernacle, & honorest thy chyldren aboue me, to make youre selues fatt of the first frutes of all the offerynges of Israel my people?

¹² When ye come to apeare before me, who requireth this of you to treade within my porches?

²² For thou (Iacob) woldest not call vpon me, but thou haddest an vnlust towarde me, O Israel. ²³ Thou gauest me not thy beastes for burntofferinges nether dydest honour me with thy sacrifyces. Thou boughtest me no deare spyce with thy money, nether pouredest the fat of thy sacrifyces vpon me. Howbeit I haue not bene chargeable vnto the in offeringes, nether greuous in incense.

⁶ Thy parte shalbe with the stony rockes by the riuer: Yee, euen these shall be thy parte. For there thou hast poured meat & drincke offringe vnto them. Shulde I delite in that?

⁹ For when ye haue stollen, murthured, commytted aduoutry, & periury. When ye haue offred vnto Baal, folowyng straunge & vnknowne goddes shall ye be vnpunyshed? ¹⁰ Yet then come ye, & stande before me in this house, (which hath my name geuen vnto it) & saye. Tush, we are absolued quite, thoughe we haue done all these abhominacyons. ¹¹ What? thyncke you this house that beareth my name, is a denne of theues? And yea I se what you thynke, sayeth the Lorde.

²¹ Thus sayeth the Lorde of Hostes the God of Israel: Heape vp your burnt offrynges wyth your sacrifyces, and eate the fleshe. ²² For when I brought youre fathers out of Egypt, I spake no worde vnto them of burnt offrynges & sacryfyces: ²³ but this I commaunded them, sayinge: herken & obeye my voyce, and I shalbe youre God, and ye shall be my people: so that ye walcke in all the wayes, whych I haue commaunded you, that ye maye prospere. ²⁴ But they were not obedient, they inclyned not theyr eares there vnto, but went after theyr awne ymagynacyons & after the mocyons of theyr awne wycked herte, & so turned them selues awaye, and conuerted not vnto me.

¹⁴ Then sayde I: Oh Lorde God. Beholde my soule was yet neuer stayned: for fro my youth vp vnto this houre, I dyd neuer eate of a deed carcase, or of that which was slayne of wylde beastes, nether came there euer eny vncleane fleshe in my mouth.

³¹ But no deed caryon shall the prest eate, ner soch as is deuoured of wilde beastes, foules or catell:

²¹ I hate and abhorre your holy dayes, & where as ye cense me when ye come together, I wyll not accepte it. ²² And though ye offre me brent offrynges and meat offrynges, yet haue I no pleasure therin. As for your fat thanckofferynges. I wyll not loke vpon them: ²³ Awaye with that noyse of thy songes, I will not heare thy playes of musyck:

⁵ When will the new moneth be gone, that we maye sell vytayle, & the Sabboth, that we maye haue scarcenesse of corne: to make the bushel lesse, and the Sycle greater?

³ O my people, what haue I done vnto the? or wherin haue I hurte the? geue me answere.

⁵ Speake vnto all the people of the land, and to the prestes, and saye: when ye fasted and mourned in the fyfth & seuenth moneth (now this .lxx. yeares) dyd ye fast vnto me? ⁶ When ye dyd eate also and droncke, dyd ye not eate & dryncke for youre awne selues?

¹³ Now haue ye brought it to this poynte agayne, that the aulter of the Lorde is couered with teares, wepynge and mournynge: so that I wyll nomore regard the meatofferynge, nether wyl I receaue or accepte eny thyng at your handes.

¹ Take heade, that ye geue not your almose in the sight of men, to the intent that ye wold be sene of them. Or els ye haue no rewarde with youre father which is in heauen. ² Therfore, whan thou geuest thyne almes, let not trompetes be blowen before the, as the ypocrites do in the synagoges and in the stretes: for to be praysed of men. Uerely, I saye vnto you: they haue their rewarde.

⁵ And when thou prayest thou shalt not be as the ypocrytes are. For they vse to stand praieng in the synagoges, and in the corners of the stretes, that they maye be sene of men. Uerely, I saye vnto you: they haue theyr rewarde.

¹⁶ Moreouer, when ye fast, be not sad as the ypocrites are. For they disfigure their faces, that it maye appeare vnto men, how that they fast. Uerely, I saye vnto you, they haue theyr rewarde.

⁴ And ther were some, that were not content wyth in them selues, & sayde: what neded this waste of oyntment? ⁵ For it myght haue bene solde for more then thre hundred pens, & haue bene geuen vnto the poore. And they grudged agaynst her.

³⁷ And he cam & founde them slepyng, & sayeth to Peter: Simon, slepest thou? Couldest not thou watche one houre? ³⁸ watche ye, & praye, leest ye entre into temptacion, the sprete trulye is ready, but the flesh is weake.

¹² My father shall peraduenture fele me, and I shall seme vnto him as though I went aboute to begyle hym, & so shall he brynge a curse vpon me, and not a blessynge:

¹⁸ speake vnto Aaron and hys sonnes and vnto all the chyldren of Israel, and saye vnto them: whatsoeuer he be of the house of Israel or straunger in Israel, that will offer hys sacrifyce for all his vowes, and for all hys frewyllofferinges which they will offer vnto the Lord for a burntofferynge, ¹⁹ ye shall offre (to reconcyle youre selues) a male without blemyshe of the oxen, of the shepe, or of the goates. ²⁰ But whatsoeuer hath a blemyshe, that shall ye not offre, for ye shall gett no fauoure therwith. ²¹ And whosoeuer bringeth a peace offringe vnto the Lorde (accordynge as he is apoynted) or a vowe, or a frewyll offeringe, in oxe or shepe, that is without deformyte, he shall be accepted.

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:

¹¹ Israel hath synned, & they haue transgressed myne appointement, which I commaunded them: for they haue taken of the excommunicate thinges, and haue stolen, and dissembled, & put them vnto their awne stuffe ¹² And therfore is it that the children of Israel cannot stande before their ennemyes, but shall turne their backes before their ennemyes because they be excommunicate. Nether will I be wt you any moare, excepte ye rote out the excommunicate from amonge you.

² For the Lord is hye and to be feared, he is the great kynge vpon all the earth.

² The hyll of Sion is a fayre place, & the ioye of the whole earth: vpon the north syde lyeth the cytie of the great kyng.

³⁵ O God, wonderfull art thou in thy holy places: euen the God of Israell, he will geue strength and power vnto his people. Blessed be God.

¹² He shall refrayne the sprete of Prynces, and is wonderfull amonge the kynges of the earth.

³ For the Lorde is a great God, & a great kynge aboue all goddes.

⁴ If thou make a vowe vnto God, be not slacke to perfourme it. As for folysh vowes, he hath no pleasure in them: ⁵ If thou promyse eny thinge, paye it: for better it is that thou make no vowe, then that thou shuldest promyse, and not paye.

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

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.

¹⁰ Cursed be he that doth the worcke of the Lorde negligently, and cursed be he that kepeth backe his swearde from sheddynge of bloude.

³⁷ Then dyd I Nabuchodonosor, loue, magnifye and prayse the kynge of heauen: for all his worckes are true, and hys wayes ryght. As for those that go on proudly, he is able to brynge them downe.

⁴ I prayed before the Lord my God, and knowledged, sayinge. O Lorde, thou greate and fearfull God, thou that kepest couenaunt and mercy wyth them, which loue the, and do thy commaundementes.

⁹ And the Lorde hym selfe shalbe kynge ouer all the earth. At that tyme shall there be one Lord onely, & his name shalbe but one.

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

⁹ Therfore are ye cursed wyth penury, because ye dissemble with me, all the sorte of you.

³⁵ nor by the earth, for it is his fote stole: nether by Ierusalem, for it is the cytie of the great king:

⁵¹ & shall hewe him in peces, & geue hym his porcyon wyth ypocrites: there shalbe wepynge and gnasshynge of teth.

⁴¹ And whan Iesus sat ouer agaynst the treasury, he behelde, how the people put money into the treasury. And many that were ryche, cast in moch. ⁴² And ther cam a certayne poore wydowe, and she threwe in two mytes, whych make a farthynge. ⁴³ And he called vnto him hys discyples & sayeth vnto them. Uerely I saye vnto you, that thys poore wydowe hath cast moare in, then all they which haue cast into the treasury. ⁴⁴ For they all dyd cast in of their superfluyte: but she of her pouerte, dyd cast in all that she had, euen all her lyuynge.

⁸ She hath done that she coulde: she came a fore hande, to anoynt my body to the buryinge.

¹ As ther gathered together an innumerable multitude of people (in so moche that they trood one another) he began to saye vnto his disciples: fyrst of all be warre of the leuen of the Pharises which is ypocrisy. ² For ther is nothynge couered, that shall not be vncouered: nether hyd, that shall not be knowen.

⁴⁶ the Lorde of that seruaunt will come in a daye when he thinketh not, and at an houre when he is not ware, and will hewe him in peces, and geue him his rewarde with the vnbeleuers.

¹ A certayne man named Ananias with Saphyra his wyfe solde a possession, ² and kepte awaye parte of the pryce (hys wyfe also beynge of counsell) and brought a certayne parte, and layde it downe at the Apostles fete. ³ But Peter sayde: Ananias, how is it, that Sathan hath fylled thyne hert, that thou shuldest lye vnto the holy goost, and kepe awaye parte of the pryce of the lande? ⁴ Pertayned it not vnto the onely? & after it was solde, was it not in thyne awne power? Why hast thou conceaued this thinge in thyne herte? Thou hast not lyed vnto men, but vnto God. ⁵ When Ananias herde these wordes, he fell downe, and gaue vp the goost. And great feare came on all them that hearde these thinges. ⁶ And the yonge men rose vp, and put hym a parte, and caryed hym out, and buried hym. ⁷ And it fortuned, that (as it were aboute the space of thre houres after) his wyfe came in, ignoraunt of that which was done. ⁸ And Peter sayde vnto her: Tell me, Solde ye not the lande for so moch? And she sayd: yee, for so moch. ⁹ Then Peter sayde vnto her: why haue ye agreed together, to tempt the sprete of the Lorde? Beholde, the fete of them which haue buried thy husband, are at the dore, and shall cary the out. ¹⁰ Then fell she downe strayght waye at his fete, and yelded vp the goost. And the yonge men came in, and founde her deed, & caryed her out, & buryed her by her husbande.

¹² For yf there be fyrst a wyllynge mynde, it is accepted accordynge to that a man hath, and not accordynge to that he hath not.

¹⁵ which appearyng (in hys tyme) he shall shewe, that is blessed & myghty onely, kynge of kynges, & Lorde of Lordes,

²⁹ For oure God is a consumyng fyre.

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.
