³⁵ & one of them which was (a doctour of lawe) asked him a question, temptinge him, & saying:

¹³ Wo vnto you Scribes & Pharises, ye ypocrites, for ye shutt vp the kyngdome of heauen before men ye nether go in your selues, nether suffre ye them that come, to enter in.

¹¹ And the Pharyses came forth, and beganne to dispute with hym, sekynge of hym a sygne from heauen, temptynge hym.

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.

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.

¹ When a man hath taken a wyfe and maried her, yf she finde no fauour in his eyes, because he hath spied some vnclennesse in her. Then let him wryte her a bylle of deuorcement, and put it in her hande, and sende her out of hys house. ² And when she is departed out of hys house, let hir go, and be another mans wyfe. ³ And yf the seconde husbande hate her, let him wryte her also a letter of deuorcement, and put it in her hande and sende her out of hys house: or yf the seconde man dye whych toke her to wyfe, ⁴ her fyrst man whych sent her a waye, maye not take her agayne to be hys wyfe, after that she is defyled. For that is abhominacyon in the syght of the Lorde. And thou shalt not cause the lande to synne, whych the Lorde thy God shall geue the to enheret.

¹ Thus sayth the Lord: where is the byll of your mothers deuorcement, that I sent her awaye? or who is the vsurer, to whom I solde you? Beholde, for your awne offences are ye solde, & because of youre transgression, is youre mother forsaken.

¹ Comenly, when a man putteth awaye his wyfe, and she goeth from him & marieth with another, then the questyon is: shulde he resorte vnto her eny more after that? Is not this felde then defyled and vncleane? But as for the, thou hast played the harlot with many louers, yet turne agayne to me, sayeth the Lorde.

⁷ They saye vnto hym: why dyd Moses then commaunde to geue a testimoniall of dyuorsement, & to put her awaye?

⁶ Understande therfore that it is not for thy ryghteousnes sake, that the Lorde thy God doth geue the thys good lande to possesse it seynge thou art a stiffenecked people.

²⁷ For I knowe thy stuburnesse and thy styffe necke: whyle I am yet a lyue with you this daye, ye haue bene disobedient vnto the Lord: and howe moch more after my death?

¹⁶ But they & oure fathers were proude and hardnecked, so that they folowed not the commaundementes, ¹⁷ and wolde not obeye, nether were myndefull of the wonders that thou dyddest for them: but became obstynate and heady, in so moche, that they turned backe to theyr bondage for theyr disobedyence. And thou my God forgauest, and wast gracyous, mercyfull, pacyent, and of greate goodnesse, and forsokest them not

²⁶ Neuertheles they were disobedient, & rebelled agaynst the, and cast thy lawe behynde their backes, and slewe thy prophetes (which exhorted them earnestly, that they myght bring them agayne vnto the) & dyd greate blasphemyes.

⁸ He sayde vnto them: Moses (because of the hardnes of youre hertes) suffered you to put awaye youre wyfes: But from the beginnyng it was not so.

⁵¹ Ye stiffenecked and of vncircumcised hertes and eares: ye haue allwayes resysted the holy ghost: as youre fathers dyd, so do ye.

⁷ Wherfore (as the holy goost sayth:) to daye yf ye wyll heare hys voyce, ⁸ harden not youre hertes, as in the prouokynge, in the daye of temptacyon in the wyldernes, ⁹ where youre fathers tempted me, proued me, and sawe my workes .xl. yeare. ¹⁰ Wherfore I was greued with the generacyon, and sayde: They do all waye erre in their hertes: they verely haue not knowen my wayes,

¹ In the begynnynge God created heauen and earthe.

²⁷ And so God created man in his awne ymage: in the ymage of God created he hym, male and female created he them.

²⁰ Man him selfe therfore named the names vnto all catell, and foule of the ayre, and to euery beast of the felde. And for man founde he not an helpe that myght be present with him. ²¹ The Lorde God also caused a slomber to fall vpon Adam, and he slept. And he toke one of hys ribbes, & closed vp the flesh in stead therof. ²² And the rybbe which the Lorde God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her vnto man. ²³ And man sayde: This is nowe bone of my bones, and fleshe of my fleshe. She shalbe called woman, because she was taken out of man.

² Male and female created he them, & blessed them, and called theyr name Adam in the daye of theyr creacyon.

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.

¹⁹ For ther shalbe in those dayes suche tribulacion, as was not from the begynnyng of creatures (which God created) vnto this tyme, nether shalbe.

⁴ & saye: Where is the promes of hys commyng? For sence the fathers dyed, all thynges continue in the same estate wherin they were at the beginninge.

²⁴ For this cause shall a man leaue hys father and hys mother, & shalbe ioyned with hys wyfe, and they shall become one flesh:

⁵ & sayd, for thys cause shall a man leaue father & mother, & shall cleue vnto hys wyfe, & they twayne shalbe one flesshe. ⁶ Wherfore now, they are not twayne, but one flesshe. Let not man therfore put a sunder, that whych God hath coupled together.

³¹ For thys cause shall a man leaue father and mother, & shall be ioyned vnto his wyfe, and of two shalbe made one flesshe.

¹⁶ Do ye not knowe, that he whych coupleth hym selfe wt an harlot, is become one body. For two (sayth he) shalbe one flesshe.

²⁸ So ought men to loue theyr wyues, as their awne bodyes. He that loueth hys wyfe, loueth hym selfe.

¹⁰ The sonnes of Iediel: Bilhan. The sonnes of Bilhan: Ieus, BenIamin, Ehud and Canaana, Zethan, Tharsis and Ahilahar. ¹¹ All these are the sonnes of Iediel, auncient heedes and men of warre .xvij. thousande and two hundred that went out harnessed to battell. ¹² And Suppim and Hupim were the chyldren of Ir. And the Husites were the chyldren of Aher. ¹³ The sonnes of Nephthali: Iahziel, Guni, Iezer and Salum, the chyldren of Bilha.

¹ Knowe ye not brethren (I speake to them that knowe the lawe) how that the lawe hath power ouer a man, as longe as it endureth. ² For the woman whych is in subiecyon to a man, is bounde by the lawe to the man, as longe as he lyueth. But yf the man be deed, she is loosed from the lawe of the man, ³ So then yf whyle the man lyueth she couple her selfe with another man, she shalbe counted a wedlocke breaker. But yf the man be deed, she is fre from the lawe of the husband, so that she is no wedlocke breaker, though she couple her selfe with another man.

¹⁰ And when he was alone, they that were aboute hym wyth the twelue asked hym of the parable.

²⁸ And when he was come into the house, his disciples asked hym secretly: why coulde not we cast hym oute?

³³ And he came to Capernaum. And when he was come into the house, he asked them: what was it that ye disputed among yourselues by the waye?

⁹ I saye vnto you: whosoeuer putteth awaye his wyfe (except it be for fornicacion) & marieth another, breaketh wedlocke. And whoso marieth her whych is deuorsed, doeth commyt aduoutry.

¹⁸ Whosoeuer forsaketh hys wyfe, and marieth another, committeth aduoutrye. And he which marieth her that is deuorsed from her husbande, committeth aduoutry also.

³ So then yf whyle the man lyueth she couple her selfe with another man, she shalbe counted a wedlocke breaker. But yf the man be deed, she is fre from the lawe of the husband, so that she is no wedlocke breaker, though she couple her selfe with another man. ⁴ The wyfe hath not power of her awne body: but the husbande. And lykewyse the husbande hath not power of his awne body: but the wyfe.

⁴ Wedlocke is to be had in honoure among all men, and the bed vndefyled. As for whore kepers & aduoutrers God shall iudge them.

¹¹ If she separate her selfe, let her remayne vnmaryed, or be reconciled vnto her husbande agayne. And let not the husbande put awaye his wyfe from him.

¹³ And the woman whych hath to her husbande an infidell, & consent to dwell wyth her, let her not put hym awaye.

⁹ And Moses answered: we will go with oure yonge and with our olde: yee, and with our sonnes and with oure daughters, and with oure shepe, and wt oure oxen we must go. For we must holde a feaste vnto the Lorde. ¹⁰ And he sayde vnto them: let it be so. The Lorde be with you. When I let you go, and your children also take hede, for ye haue some mischefe in hande. ¹¹ Naye, not so: but go they that are men, and serue the Lorde: for that was your desyre. And they thrust them out of Pharaos presence.

¹² Gether the people together: men, wemen and chyldren, and the straunger that is wythin thy gates, that they maye heare, and lerne and feare the Lorde your God, and kepe, and obserue all the wordes of thys lawe, ¹³ and that their chyldren whych knowe nothynge, maye heare, and lerne to feare the Lord your God, as longe as ye lyue in the lande, whether ye go ouer Iordan to possesse it.

¹⁶ and gather the people together: warne the congregacyon, gather the elders, brynge the chyldren & sucklynges together. Lett the brydegrome go forth of his chambre, and the bryde out of her closet.

¹³ Then were there brought vnto hym yonge chyldren, that he shuld put hys handes on them, & praye. And the disciples rebuked them. ¹⁴ But Iesus sayde vnto them: suffre the chyldren & forbid them not to come vnto me: for of soch is the kyngdom of heauen. ¹⁵ And when he had put hys handes on them, he departed thence.

³⁸ Iohn answered hym, sayinge: Master, we sawe one cast out deuyls in thy name, & he foloweth not vs: and we forbade hym, because he foloweth vs not.

⁴⁸ And many rebuked hym, that he shuld holde hys peace. But he cryed the more a greate deale: thou sonne of Dauid haue mercy on me.

¹⁵ They brought vnto him also yong children, that he shulde touche them. When hys dysciples sawe it, they rebuked them. ¹⁶ But Iesus (whan he had called them vnto hym) sayde: Suffre children to come vnto me, and forbyd them not. For of soch is the kyngdome of God. ¹⁷ Uerely I saye vnto you: whosoeuer receaueth not the kyngdome of God as a chylde, shall not enter therin.

⁷ Moreouer I will make my bonde betwene me and the, and thy seed after the in theyr generacyons, by an euerlastynge testament, that I maye be God vnto the and to thy seed after the.

¹⁰ This is my testamente which ye shall kepe betwene me & you & thy seed after the. Euery manchylde amonge you shalbe circumcysed. ¹¹ ye shall circumcyse the fleshe of your foreskyne, and it shall be a token of the bonde betwyxte me and you. ¹² And euery manchylde of .viij. dayes olde shall be circumcysed amonge you, & suche as be in youre generacyons, and borne at home and he that is boughte wyth money of any straunger whych is not of thy seed. He that is borne in thy house, & he also that is bought wyth money, must nedes be circumcysed. ¹³ And my testament shall be in youre fleshe, for an euerlastinge bonde. ¹⁴ And the vncircumcysed manchylde, in whose fleshe the forskynne is not circumcysed, that soule shall peryshe, from his people: because he hath broken my testament.

³¹ But your children which ye saye shulde be a praye, them I will bring in, & they shall knowe the land which ye haue refused,

³⁷ And because he loued thy fathers, he chose theyr seed after them, and broughte the out in his syght, & with his myghtie power out of Egipte:

¹¹ youre chyldren also, youre wyues & the straunger that is in thyne hoste from the hewer of thy wodd, vnto the drawer of thy water: ¹² that thou shuldest go into the appoyntment of the Lord thy God, & into his othe which the Lord thy God maketh wyth the this daye.

¹¹ and vowed a vowe, and sayd: O Lord of hostes, yf thou wylt loke on the trouble of thine handmayde, & remembre me, and not forget thine handmayde, but geue vnto thine handmayde a man chylde: I wyll geue him vnto the Lord all the dayes of his lyfe, & there shall no raser come vpon his heed.

²² Neuertheles, Hanna went not vp, but sayde vnto her husbande: I wyll tarye vntill the ladde be wened, & then I wyll bring him that he maye apeare before the Lord, & there abide for euer.

²⁷ For this ladde I prayed, and the Lorde hath geuen me my desire, whych I asked of him: ²⁸ and therfore I haue geuen hym vnto the Lord, as long as he is mete for the lorde. And they worshipped the Lorde there.

⁴ That we shulde not hyde them from the chyldren of the generacyons to come: but to shewe the honour of the Lorde, hys might, and wonderfull workes that he hath done.

¹⁴ The Lorde shall encrease you more and more: you, & youre children. ¹⁵ Ye are the blessed of the Lord, which made heauen & earth.

¹ Dauids songe of the stayres. Lorde, I am not hye mynded, I haue no proude lookes. ² I do not exercyse my selfe in greate matters, which are to hye for me.

²³ My chosen shall lyue longe, they shall not laboure in vayne, ner begett wyth trouble: for they are the hye blessed sede of the Lorde, and their frutes with them.

³⁹ And I wyll geue them one hert and one waye, that they maye feare me all the daies of their lyfe, that they and their chyldren after them maye prospere. ⁴⁰ And I wyll sett vp an euerlastyng couenaunt with them. Namelye, that I wyll neuer ceasse to do them good, and that I wyll put my feare in their hertes, so that they shall not runne awaye from me.

⁴ Whosoeuer therfore humbleth him selfe, as this childe, the same is the greatest in the kyngdom of heauen.

¹⁰ Take hede: that ye despyse not one of these lytelones. For I saye vnto you, that in heauen their angels do alwayes beholde the face of my father, whych is in heauen.

¹⁴ But Iesus sayde vnto them: suffre the chyldren & forbid them not to come vnto me: for of soch is the kyngdom of heauen.

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

³³ But he turned about, and loked on hys disciples, and rebuked Peter, saying: Go after me Satan. For thou sauerest not the thinges that be of God, but the thynges that be of men.

⁵⁴ When his disciples, Iames & Iohn sawe this, they sayde: Lorde, wilt thou that we commaunde fyre to come downe from heauen and consume them, euen as Helias dyd? ⁵⁵ Iesus turned about, and rebuked them, saying: ye wote not what maner spret ye are of. ⁵⁶ For the sonne of man is not come to destroye mennes lyues, but to saue them. And they went to another towne.

¹⁵ They brought vnto him also yong children, that he shulde touche them. When hys dysciples sawe it, they rebuked them. ¹⁶ But Iesus (whan he had called them vnto hym) sayde: Suffre children to come vnto me, and forbyd them not. For of soch is the kyngdome of God.

³⁹ For the promyse was made vnto you and to youre chyldren, and to all that are a farre of, euen as many as the Lorde oure God shall call.

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.

¹⁶ For yf one pece be holy, the whole heepe is holy. And yf the rote be holy, the braunches shalbe holy also.

²⁸ As concernynge the gospell they are enemies for youre sakes: but as touchyng the eleccyon they are loued for the fathers sakes.

¹⁴ For the vnbeleuynge husbande is sanctified by the wyfe, & the vnbeleuinge wyfe is sanctifyed by the husbande. Or els were your chyldren vncleane: but nowe are they holye.

²⁰ Brethren, be not ye chyldren in wytte. Howbeit, as concernyng maliciousnes, be children: but in witte be perfect.

²⁶ Be angrye, and synne not: let not the sunne go doune vpon youre wrath,

⁵ when I call to remembraunce the vnfayned fayth that is in the, which dwelt fyrst in thy graundmother Lois, and in thy mother Eunica: & I am assured that it dwelleth in the also.

¹⁵ and for as moch also as of a chylde thou hast knowen the holy scriptures which are able to make the lerned vnto saluacyon thorow the fayth which is in Christ Iesu.

² & as new borne babes, desyre ye that mylke (not of the body but of the soule) which is wt out disceate that ye maye growe ther by

⁵ & in their mouthes was founde no gyle. For they are with oute spot before the trone of God.

³ & sayd: Uerely I saye vnto you except ye turne, & become as chyldren, ye shall not enter into the kyngdom of heauen.

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

³ Iesus answered & sayd vnto him: Uerely, verely, I saye vnto the, except a man be borne from aboue, he cannot se the kyngdom of God. ⁴ Nicodemus sayeth vnto hym how can a man be borne when he is olde? can he enter into hys mothers wombe and be borne agayne? ⁵ Iesus answered verely, verely, I saye vnto the: except a man be borne of water & of the sprete, he cannot enter into the kyngdom of God, ⁶ That whych is borne of the flesshe, is flesshe, and that which is borne of the sprete, is sprete.

¹⁴ And Israel stretched out hys ryghte hande & layde it vpon Ephraims heade which was the yonger, & hys lyfte hande vpon Manasses heed, gydinge hys handes wysely, for Manasses was the elder. ¹⁵ And he blessed Ioseph & sayde: God, before whome my fathers Abraham & Isahac dyd walke, God whych hath fedd me all my lyfe longe vnto thys daye, ¹⁶ And the angell whych hath delyuered me from all euyll, blesse these laddes: & let my name be named in them, & the name of my fathers Abraham & Isahac, & that they maye growe into a multitude in the myddes of the erth.

³ Blessed shalt then be in the towne, and blessed in the feldes:

¹¹ He shall fede his flock lyke an herdman. He shall gather the lambes together with hys arme, and carye them in his bosome, & shall kyndely intreate those that beare yonge.

³⁶ And he toke a chylde, and set hym in the myddes of them: & when he had taken hym in hys armes, he sayde vnto them:

²⁸ then toke he him vp in his armes, & sayd: ²⁹ Lorde, now lettest thou thy seruaunt departe in peace, accordynge to thy promes. ³⁰ For myne eyes haue sene the saluacion: ³¹ which thou hast prepared before the face of all people ³² A lyght to lighten the gentyls, & the glory of thy people Israel. ³³ And his father & mother: meruylled at those thinges, whych were spoken of hym. 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.

⁵⁰ And he led them out into Bethany, and lyfte vp hys handes, and blessed them. ⁵¹ And it cam to passe, as he blessed them, he departed from them, and was caryed vp into heauen.

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

¹⁰ Nowe when Daniel vnderstode that the wrytinge was made, he wente into hys house: and the windowes of his wall towarde Ierusalem stode open. There kneled he downe vpon hys knees, thre tymes a daye: there he made hys peticyon, and praysed hys God, lyke as hys maner was to do afore tyme.

¹⁴ And when they were come to the people, ther came to him a certayne man knelyng downe to him, & sayeng:

¹⁶ And beholde, one came, & sayd vnto him: good master, what good thynge shall I do that I maye haue eternall lyfe? ¹⁷ He sayd vnto him: why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, & that is God. But yf thou wilt entre into lyfe, kepe the commaundementes. ¹⁸ He sayeth vnto hym. Whych? Iesus sayde Thou shalt not commit manslaughter. Thou shalt not commyt aduoutrye: Thou shalt not steale: Thou shalt not beare false witnes: ¹⁹ honoure father and mother: and thou shalt loue thyne neybour as thy selfe. ²⁰ The younge man sayeth vnto him: All these thinges haue I kepte from my youth vp: what lacke I yet? ²¹ Iesus sayd vnto hym, yf thou wilt be perfecte go & sell that thou hast, & geue to the poore, & shall haue treasure in heauen, & come & folowe me. ²² But when the younge man herde that saying, he went awaye sorye. For he had grete possessyons. ²³ Then Iesus sayd vnto his disciples: Uerely I say vnto you: it shalbe harde for the ryche to enter into the kingdom of heauen. ²⁴ And agayne I saye vnto you: it is easyer for a camell to go through the eye of a nedle, then for the ryche to enter into the kyngdom of God. ²⁵ When the disciples hearde this, they were excedindly amased, saying: who than can be saued? ²⁶ But Iesus behelde them, and sayd vnto them: wyth men this is vnpossyble but wt God all thynges are possyble. ²⁷ Then answered Peter, & sayd vnto him: Beholde we haue forsaken all, and folowed the, what shall we haue therfore? ²⁸ Iesus sayd vnto them: verely I saye vnto you: that when the sonne of man shall syt in the seate of hys maiestye, ye that haue folowed me in there generacyon shall syt also vpon .xij. seates, & iudge the .xij. trybes of Israel. ²⁹ And euery one that forsaketh house, or brethren, or systers, or father, or mother, or wyfe, or chyldren, or landes, for my names sake, shall receaue an hundred folde, & shall inheret euerlastynge lyfe. ³⁰ But many that are fyrst, shalbe last and the last shalbe fyrst.

³⁴ Then shall the Kynge saye to them that shalbe on hys ryghte hande: Come ye blessed of my father, inheret the kyngdome prepared for you from the begynninge of the worlde.

⁸ And they departed quickly from the sepulcre, with feare and greate Ioye, & dyd runne, to bryng his disciples worde.

⁴⁰ And ther came a leper to him, besechynge hym, and knelyng downe, and sayeng vnto him, yf thou wilt, thou cannest make me cleane.

²⁵ When Iesus sawe that the people came runnyng together vnto him, he rebuked the foule sprete, saying vnto hym: Thou domme & deeff sprete, I charge the come out of him, and entre nomore into him.

¹⁴ And assone as they were come, they sayd vnto him: Master, we knowe that thou arte true, & carest for no man: for thou consyderest not the outward appearaunce of men, but teachest the waye of God truly: Is it laufull to paye tribute to Cesar, or not?

¹⁸ And a certayne ruler asked him, sayinge: good master, what ought I to do, to obtaine eternall lyfe? ¹⁹ Iesus sayd vnto him: Why callest thou me good? None is good, saue God onely. 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. ²¹ And he sayde: all these haue I kept from my youth vp. ²² When Iesus hearde that, he sayd vnto hym: Yet lackest thou one thynge. Sell all that thou hast, and distrybute vnto the poore, and thou shalt haue treasure in heauen, and come, folowe me. ²³ When he hearde thys, he was sory: for he was very ryche. ²⁴ When Iesus sawe that he was sory, he sayde wyth what difficulte shall they that haue mony, enter into the kingdome of God? ²⁵ it is easyer for a camell to go thorow a nedles eye, then for a ryche man to enter into the kyngdome of God. ²⁶ And they that hearde it: sayd. And who can then be saued? ²⁷ And he sayde: The thynges which are vnpossyble wt men, are possyble wyth God. ²⁸ Then Peter sayde. Lo, we haue forsaken all, and folowed the. ²⁹ He sayde vnto them: Uerely I saye vnto you: ther is no man that hath forsaken house, ether father or mother, ether brethren, or wyfe, or chyldren (for the kyngdome of Goddes sake) ³⁰ whych shall not receaue moch more in this worlde, and in the worlde to come, lyfe euerlastynge.

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.

²⁷ Laboure not for the meate whych perissheth, but for that whych endureth vnto euerlastinge lyfe, whych meate the sonne of man shall geue vnto you. For hym hath God the father sealed. ²⁸ Then sayde they vnto him: what shal we do, that we myght worcke the worckes of God?

⁴⁰ And thys is the will of him that sent me: that euery one whych seeth the sonne and beleueth on him, haue euerlasting lyfe. And I wyll rayse him vp at the last daye.

² Then she ranne, and came to Symon Peter, and to the other dyscyple whom Iesus loued, and sayeth vnto them. They haue taken awaye the Lorde out of the graue, & we cannot tell where they haue layde him. ³ Peter therfore went forth, & that other disciple, and came vnto the sepulchre. ⁴ They ranne both together, & the other disciple dyd out runne Peter, & came fyrst to the sepulchre.

³⁷ When they hearde this, they were pricked in their hertes, and sayd vnto Peter, & vnto the other Apostles: Ye men & brethren what shall we do?

⁶ And he both tremblynge, & astonyed sayde: Lorde, what wylt thou haue me to do? And the Lord sayd vnto hym: aryse, and go into the cytie, and it shalbe told the, what thou must do.

³⁰ and brought them out, & sayde: Syrs what must I do to be saued?

³² And now brethren, I commende you to God and to the worde of his grace, which is able to build farther, & to geue you an inheritaunce amonge all them which are sanctifyed

⁷ that is to saye, prayse, honoure and immortalite, to them whych contynue in good doyng; and seke immortalite.

²³ For the rewarde of synne is deeth. but eternall lyfe is the gyfte of God, thorow Iesus Christ oure Lorde.

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.

²⁵ And thys is the promes that he hath promysed vs, euen eternall lyfe.

² There is none so holye as the Lord, for without the, is nothing. Nether is there any of strength as is oure God.

⁷ Thou Lorde shalt saue both man and beest. Howe excellent is thy mercy, O God? and the chyldren of men shall put theyr trust vnder the shadowe of thy wynges. ⁸ They shalbe satisfyed with the plenteousnesse of thy house, and thou shalt geue them dryncke of thy pleasures, as out of the ryuer.

⁵ For thou Lord art good and gracious, and of greate mercy vnto all them that call vpon the.

⁶⁸ Thou art good and gracious, O teach me thy statutes.

¹⁷ He sayd vnto him: why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, & that is God. But yf thou wilt entre into lyfe, kepe the commaundementes.

¹⁹ Iesus sayd vnto him: Why callest thou me good? None is good, saue God onely.

⁴¹ I receaue not prayse of men. ⁴² But I knowe you, that ye haue not the loue of God in you. ⁴³ I am come in my fathers name and ye receaue me not. If another come in hys awne name, hym wyll ye receaue: ⁴⁴ How can ye beleue, which receaue honoure one of another, & seke not the honoure that commeth of God onely?

¹² they are all gone out of the waye, they are all vnprofytable, ther is none that doeth good, no not one.

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

⁸ He that loueth not, knoweth not God: for God is loue.

¹⁶ And we haue knowen and beleued the loue that God hath to vs. God is loue, & he that dwelleth in loue, dwelleth in God, and God in him.

¹² Honour thy father & thy mother, that thy dayes maye be longe in the lande which the Lord thy God geueth the. ¹³ Thou shalt not kyll. ¹⁴ Thou shalt not breake wedlocke. ¹⁵ Thou shalt not steale. ¹⁶ Thou shalt not bere false witnesse agenst thy neyghboure. ¹⁷ Thou shalt not couet thy neyghbours house: nether shalt thou couet thy neyghbours wyfe, or hys man seruaunte, or hys mayde, or his oxe, or his asse, or whatsoeuer thy neyboure hath.

¹⁶ Honoure thy father and thy mother, as the Lorde thy God hath commaunded the: that thy dayes maye be prolonged, & that it maye go well with the in the lande, which the Lord thy God geueth the. ¹⁷ Thou shalt nol slaye. ¹⁸ Thou shalt not breake wedlocke. ¹⁹ Thou shalt not steale. ²⁰ Thou shalt not beare false witnesse agaynst thy neyghboure. ²¹ Thou shalt not luste after thy neygboures wyfe: thou shalt not couet thy neyghbours house, hys felde, hys seruaunte, or hys mayde, hys oxe, hys asse, or ought that thy neyghboure hath. ²² These wordes the Lorde spake vnto all your multitude in the mount out of the myddes of the fyre, cloude and darcknesse, with a greate voyce, added nomore therto, and wrote them in two tables of stone, and delyuered them vnto me. ²³ And it fortuned, that whan ye herde the voyce out of the myddes of the darcknesse, & sawe that the hill dyd burne with fyre, ye came vnto me with the captaynes of youre tribes and youre elders: ²⁴ and ye sayde: beholde, the Lord oure God hath shewed vs his glorye and his greatnesse, & we haue herde his voyce out of the myddes of the fyre: we haue sene thys daye, that God doth talke wyth a man, and he yet lyueth.

¹⁷ Thynke not that I am come to destroye the lawe, or the prophetes: no, I am not come to destroye, but to fulfyll. ¹⁸ For truely I saye vnto you: tyll heauen and earth passe, one iott or one tytle of the lawe shal not scape, tyll all be fulfylled. ¹⁹ Whosoeuer therfore breaketh one of these leest commaundementes, and teacheth men so, he shalbe called the leest in the kyngdome of heauen. But whosoeuer doeth and teacheth, the same shalbe called greate in the kyngdome of heauen. ²⁰ For I saye vnto you: except your righteousnesse exceade the ryghteousnesse of the Scribes and Pharises, ye cannot entre into the kyngdome of heauen.

¹⁷ He sayd vnto him: why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, & that is God. But yf thou wilt entre into lyfe, kepe the commaundementes. ¹⁸ He sayeth vnto hym. Whych? Iesus sayde Thou shalt not commit manslaughter. Thou shalt not commyt aduoutrye: Thou shalt not steale: Thou shalt not beare false witnes: ¹⁹ honoure father and mother: and thou shalt loue thyne neybour as thy selfe.

²⁸ And whan ther came one of the Scrybes, and had hearde them disputynge to gether (and perceaued that he had answered them well) he asked hym: whych is the fyrst of all the commaundementes? ²⁹ Iesus answered him, the fyrste of all the commaundementes is: Heare O Israell: The Lorde oure God, is Lord onely: ³⁰ And thou shalt loue the Lorde thy God with all thy hert, & wyth all thy soule, and wyth all thy mynde, and with all thy strength. This is the fyrste commaundment. ³¹ And the seconde is lyke vnto thys: Thou shalt loue thy neyghbour as thy selfe. Ther is none other commaundment greater then these. ³² And the Scrybe sayde vnto him: well master, thou hast sayd the truthe, for ther is one God, & ther is none but he. ³³ And to loue hym wyth all the herte, and wyth all the mynde, & wyth all the soule, & wyth all the strength: and to loue a mans neyghbour as hym selfe, is a greater thynge, then all burt offerynges and sacrifyces. ³⁴ And when Iesus sawe that he answered discretly, he sayde vnto hym: Thou art not farre from the kyngdome of God. And no man after that, durst aske hym any questyon.

²⁶ He sayde vnto him: What is written in the lawe? How redest thou? ²⁷ And he answered and sayde: loue the Lorde thy God, with all thy hert, & with all thy soule, & with all thy strength, & with all thy mynde: and thy neyghbour as thy selfe. ²⁸ And he sayde vnto him: Thou hast answered right. This do, and thou shalt lyue.

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.

²⁰ because that by the dedes of the lawe ther shall no flesshe be iustifyed in hys syght. For by the lawe commeth the knowledge of sinne.

⁹ For these commaundementes. Thou shalt not commytt aduoutry: thou shalt not kyll: thou shalt not steale: thou shalt not beare false wytnes: thou shalt not lust, and so forth (yf there be eny other commaundement) it is all comprehended in thys sayinge, Namely: Loue thyne neyghbour as thy selfe.

⁷ Nowe therfore, there is vtterly a faute amonge you, because ye go to lawe one wyth another. Why rather suffer ye not wronge? why rather suffre ye not your selues to haue harme? ⁸ naye, ye youre selues do wronge, and robbe: & that the brethren. ⁹ Do ye not knowe, how that the vnryghteous shall not inheret the kyngdome of God? Be not deceaued. For nether fornicatours, nether worshyppers of ymages, nether aduoutrers, nether weaklynges, nether abusers of them selues wyth mankynde,

¹⁴ For all the lawe is fulfylled in one worde, which is this: thou shalt loue thyne neyghboure as thy selfe.

⁶ that noman oppresse and defraude his brother in bargaynyng: because that the Lord is the auenger of all soch thinges, as we tolde you before, and testifyed.

¹¹ For he that sayd: Thou shalt not commyt adulterye, sayde also thou shalt not kyll. Though thou do none adulterye, yet yf thou kyll, thou art become a transgressor of the lawe.

² For they seke me daylye, & wyll knowe my wayes, euen as it were a people that dyd ryght, and had not forsaken the statutes of theyr God. They argue wyth me concernynge ryght iudgement, and will be nye vnto God.

¹⁴ Moreouer, I wyll make the waste and abhorred, before all the Heathen that dwell aboute the, & in the sight of all them, that go by the:

³¹ These come vnto the, after the maner of a greate people: yee, as who sayth they were my people, they syt downe before the, and heare thy wordes, but they do not therafter for in their mouthes they make a Ieste of them, and theyr herte goeth after theyr awne couetous lucre. ³² And as a balet that hath a swete tune, and is pleasaunt to synge, so shalt thou be vnto them: thy wordes shal they heare, but they will not do therafter.

⁸ Shulde a man vse falshed and disceat with God as ye vse falshed and disceate with me? yet ye saye wherin vse we disceate wt the? In Tithes & heaue offeringes.

²⁰ The younge man sayeth vnto him: All these thinges haue I kepte from my youth vp: what lacke I yet?

²⁹ But he wyllinge to iustifie him selfe, sayde vnto Iesus: And who is my neyghbour?

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.

⁹ I once lyued wythout lawe. But when the commaundement came, synne reuiued, and I was deed.

⁶ as concernynge feruentnes, I persecuted the congregacyon, as touchynge the ryghtewesnes which is in the lawe, I was vnrebukable.

⁵ hauynge a symilitude of godlynesse, but haue denyed the power therof: and soch abhorre.

¹⁹ And the yonge man deferde not for to do the thynge, because he had a lust to Iacobs daughter: he was also most sett by of all that were in hys fathers house.

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

⁸ For he sayde: These no doute are my people, & no shrinkynge chyldren, and so he was their sauyoure. ⁹ In their troubles he was also troubled wt them, and the angell that went forth from hys presence, delyuered them: Of very loue & kyndnesse that he had vnto them, redemed he them. He hath borne them, and caryed them vp euer, sence the worlde beganne. ¹⁰ But after they prouoked him to wrath & vexed his holy mynde he was their enemye, & fought agaynst them him selfe.

¹⁹ Laye not vp for your selues treasure vpon earth, where the rust and mothe doth corrupte, and where theues breake through, and steale. ²⁰ But laye vp for you, treasures in heuen, where nether rust nor mothe doth corrupte, and where theues do not breake thorow nor steale. ²¹ For where your treasure is, there will youre hert be also.

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

²⁴ Then sayde Iesus vnto his disciples: If eny man wil folowe me, let him forsake him selfe & take vp his crosse, & folowe me

²¹ Iesus sayd vnto hym, yf thou wilt be perfecte go & sell that thou hast, & geue to the poore, & shall haue treasure in heauen, & come & folowe me.

³⁴ And when he had called the people vnto hym with hys discyples also, he sayde vnto them. Whosoeuer wyll folowe me, lett hym forsake him self, and take vp hys crosse, and folowe me.

²³ And he sayd to them all, yf eny man will come after me, let him denye him self, & take vp his crosse dayly, & folowe me.

⁴² verely one is nedefull. Mary hath chosen the good parte, which shall not be taken awaye from her.

³³ Sell that ye haue, and geue almes. And prepare you bagges, which wexe not olde, euen a treasure that fayleth not in heauen, where no thefe commeth, nether moth corrupteth.

⁹ And I saye vnto you: make you frendes of the vnryghteous mammon, that when ye shall haue nede they may receaue you into euerlastyng habitacyons.

²² When Iesus hearde that, he sayd vnto hym: Yet lackest thou one thynge. Sell all that thou hast, and distrybute vnto the poore, and thou shalt haue treasure in heauen, and come, folowe me.

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

²⁶ If eny man mynister vnto me, lett him folowe me: and Where I am, there shall also my minister be. Yf any man mynister vnto me, hym will my father honoure.

³³ These wordes haue I spoken vnto you, that in me ye myghte haue peace. For in the worlde shall ye haue tribulacyon: but be of good chere, I haue ouercome the worlde.

⁴⁵ and solde their possessions and goodes, and parted them to all men, as euery man had nede.

³⁴ Nether was ther eny among them, that lacked. For as many as were possessers of landes or houses, solde them, and brought the pryce of the thinges that were solde, ³⁵ and layed it downe at the Apostles fete: And distribucion was made vnto euery man accordynge as he had nede. ³⁶ And Ioses, which was also called of the Apostles, Barnabas (that is to saye, the sonne of consolacyon) beynge a Leuite, and of the countre of Cypers ³⁷ whan he had lande, solde it, and layde the pryce downe at the Apostles fete.

¹⁷ If we be sonnes, then are we also heyres, the heyres I meane of God, & heyres anexed with Chryst yf so be that we suffer with hym, that we maye be also glorified together with hym. ¹⁸ For I suppose that the afflyccyons of thys lyfe, are not worthy of the glory, which shalbe shewed vpon vs.

¹⁵ Beholde, nowe the thyrde tyme I am ready to come vnto you: and yet wyll I not be chargeable vnto you. For I seke not youres, but you. For the chyldren ought not to laye vp for the fathers and mothers, but the fathers and mothers for the chyldren.

¹⁷ Charge them which are ryche in this world, that they be not hye mynded, ner trust in vncertayne ryches, but in the lyuinge God (which geueth vs aboundauntly all thynges to enioye them) ¹⁸ that they do good: that they be riche in good workes: that they be redy to geue & gladly to distribute, ¹⁹ laying vp in store for them selues a good fundacion against the tyme to come, that they maye obtayne eternall lyfe.

¹² Yee, and all they that wyll lyue godly in Christ Iesu shall suffre persecutyon.

³⁴ For ye became parttakers also of the afflyccyons whych happened thorow my bondes, & toke in worth the spoylyng of your goodes, & that wyth gladnes: knowynge in your selues, how that ye haue in heauen a better & an enduring substaunce.

¹⁰ Whosoeuer shall kepe the whole lawe, & yet fayle in one poynt, he is gyltie of all.

⁴ to an inherytaunce immortall and vndefyled, and that perissheth not, reserued in heauen for you, ⁵ whych are kept by the power of of God thorow fayth, vnto saluacion, whych is prepared allready to be shewed in the last tyme,

⁴ Neuerthelesse, I haue sum what agaynst the, because thou haste lefte thy fyrst loue.

¹⁴ But I haue a fewe thynges agaynst the: because thou hast there, them that mayntayne the doctrine of Balam which taught in Balake, to put occasyon of synne before the chyldren of Israel, that they shulde eate of meate dedycat vnto ydoles, and commyt fornycacyon.

²⁰ Notwith standynge I haue a feaw thynges agaynst the, because thou sufferest that woman Iesabell, which called her selfe a Prophetise, to teache & to deceaue my seruauntes, to make them commyt fornycacyon, & to eate meates offered vp vnto ydoles.

⁵ Lot also whych went with Abram had shepe, cattell & tentes: ⁶ & the lande was not able to receaue them that they myght dwell together, for the substaunce of their ryches was greate, & they coulde not dwell to gether. ⁷ And there fell a stryfe betwene the herdmen of Abrams catell, & the herdmen of Lots catell. Moreouer the Cananytes and the Pheresytes dwelled at that tyme in the lande. ⁸ Then sayde Abram vnto Lot: Let there be no stryfe (I praye the) betwene the and me & betwene my herdmen and thyne, for we be brethren. ⁹ Is not all the hole lande before the? Departe I praye the fro me. If thou wilt take the lefte hande, I will go to the ryght: or yf thou departe to the ryght hande I will go to the left. ¹⁰ And so Lot lyftynge vp hys eyes, beholde all the contre of Iordane, which was a plenteous contre of water euery where, before the Lord destroyed Sodome & Gomorra, euen as the garden of the Lorde, lyke the lande of Egypte as thou commest vnto Zoar. ¹¹ Than Lot chose all the playne countrey of Iordane & toke hys iourney from the east. And so departed the one brother from the other.

¹⁰ And when the Lord thy God hath brought the into the lande, whych he sware vnto thy fathers, Abraham Isahac and Iacob, and geueth the greate & goodly cyties which thou byldedst not, ¹¹ houses full of all maner of goodes which thou fylledst not, and welles dygged which thou dyggedest not, vineyardes & oliue trees which thou plantedst not, and when thou hast eaten & art full: ¹² Then beware, lest thou forget the Lorde, whyche broughte the oute of the lande of Egypt from the house of bondage.

¹¹ Beware, that thou forgett not the Lorde thy God, that thou woldest not kepe hys commaundmentes, hys lawes & his ordinaunces whych I commaunde the thys daye y ¹² & when thou hast eaten, and fylled thy selfe, & hast bylt goodly houses & dwelt therin, ¹³ and when thy beastes, and thy shepe are waxed manye, and thy syluer & golde is multiplied, and all that thou hast is encreased, ¹⁴ then beware, lest thyne herte ryse & thou forgett the Lorde thy God, whych brought the out of the lande of Egypte, and from the house of bondage,

⁷ Wherfore do wycked men lyue in health and prosperite, come to theyr olde age, and increase in ryches? ⁸ Their chyldren lyue in theyr syght, and theyr generacyon before theyr eyes. ⁹ Their houses are safe from all feare, and the rodd of God doth not smyte them. ¹⁰ Their bullocke gendreth, and that not out of tyme: theyr cowe calueth, and is not vnfrutefull. ¹¹ They sende forth their children by flockes, and their sonnes lede the daunce. ¹² They beare with them tabrettes and harpes, and haue instrumentes of musycke at their pleasure. ¹³ They spende their dayes in welthynesse: but sodenly they go downe to hell. ¹⁴ They saye also vnto God: go from vs, we desyre not the knowledge of thy wayes. ¹⁵ Who is the Allmyghtie, that we shulde serue hym? And what profyt shuld we haue to submyt our selues vnto him?

³¹ These come vnto the, after the maner of a greate people: yee, as who sayth they were my people, they syt downe before the, and heare thy wordes, but they do not therafter for in their mouthes they make a Ieste of them, and theyr herte goeth after theyr awne couetous lucre.

²² He also that receaued sede into the thornes, is he that heareth the worde: and the care of this worlde, and the dissaytfulnes of ryches, choke vp the worde, and so is he made vnfrutefull.

²² But when the younge man herde that saying, he went awaye sorye. For he had grete possessyons.

³ Then Iudas (which had betrayed him) seyng that he was condempned, repented him selfe, and brought agayne the thirtye plates of syluer, to the chefe Prestes and elders,

²⁴ When Pilate sawe that he coulde preuayle nothinge, but that more busynes was made, he toke water, and wasshed hys handes before the people, sayinge: I am innocent of the bloud of this iust person, ye shall se. ²⁵ Then answered all the people, and sayd his bloud be on vs, and on oure children. ²⁶ Then let he Barrabas loose vnto them, and scourged Iesus, and delyuered him to be crucifyed.

²⁰ For Herod feared Iohn, knowing that he was a iust man & an holy: & gaue hym reuerence: and when he hearde hym, he dyd many thynges, and hearde hym gladly.

²⁶ And the kynge was sory: howbeit for hys othes sake, and for theyr sakes whych sate at supper also, he wolde not cast her off.

¹⁵ And he sayde vnto them: take hede, and be warre of couetousnes. For no mannes lyfe standeth in the aboundance of the thinges which he possesseth.

²³ When he hearde thys, he was sory: for he was very ryche.

¹⁰ For godly sorowe causeth repentaunce vnto saluacyon, not to be repented of, contrary wyse, worldely sorowe causeth deeth.

⁵ For thys ye knowe that no whormonger, ether vncleane person, or coueteous person, (which is a worshypper of ymages) hath eny inheritaunce in the kyngdome of Chryst and of God.

⁹ They that wylbe ryche, fall into temptacyon and snares, & into many folysshe & noysome lustes, which droune men into perdicyon & destruccyon. 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.

¹⁰ For Demas hath forsaken me, and loueth thys present worlde, and is departed vnto Thessalonica. Crescens is gone to Galacia, Tytus vnto Dalmacia.

¹⁵ Se that ye loue not the worlde, nether the thynges that are in the worlde. If eny man loue the worlde, the loue of the father is not in hym. ¹⁶ For all that is in the worlde (as the lust of the flesshe, and the lust of the eyes, & the pryde of life) is not of the father, but of the worlde.

²³ Then Iesus sayd vnto his disciples: Uerely I say vnto you: it shalbe harde for the ryche to enter into the kingdom of heauen. ²⁴ And agayne I saye vnto you: it is easyer for a camell to go through the eye of a nedle, then for the ryche to enter into the kyngdom of God. ²⁵ When the disciples hearde this, they were excedindly amased, saying: who than can be saued? ²⁶ But Iesus behelde them, and sayd vnto them: wyth men this is vnpossyble but wt God all thynges are possyble.

³² And he loked round about for to se her that had done thys thynge.

¹⁵ Uerely I saye vnto you, whosoeuer doth not receaue the kyngdome of God as a childe, he shal not entre therin.

²⁴ When Iesus sawe that he was sory, he sayde wyth what difficulte shall they that haue mony, enter into the kingdome of God?

⁵ Iesus answered verely, verely, I saye vnto the: except a man be borne of water & of the sprete, he cannot enter into the kyngdom of God,

²⁶ Brethren, ye se your callynge, how that not many wyse men after the flesshe, not many myghty, not many of hye degre, are called:

⁵ Harken my deare beloued brethren. Hath not God chosen the poore of thys worlde, soch as are ryche in faythe, & heyres of the kyngdome, whych he promysed to them that loue hym?

⁴ Ye aduouterars, and wemen that breke matrimonye: knowe ye not how that the frendshyp of the worlde is enmytie wt God? whosoeuer therfore wilbe a frende of the worlde, is made the enemye of God.

¹¹ Yee and by this meanes an entrynge in shal be mynistred vnto you aboundantly into the euerlastyng kyngdome of oure Lorde and sauioure Iesus Christ.

²⁴ Haue I put my trust in golde? Or haue I sayde to the fynest golde of all: thou arte my confidence? ²⁵ Haue I reioysed because my power was great, and because my hande gat so moche?

¹⁴ From the men of thy hande, O Lorde from the men, I saye, and from the euyll worlde, which haue their porcion in thys lyfe, whose belyes thou fyllest wt thy hyd treasure.

⁶ There be some that put theyr in trust their goodes, & boast them selues in the multitude of theyr ryches. ⁷ But no man maye delyuer hys brother, ner make agrement vnto God for hym.

⁷ The ryghteous also shall se this, & feare, & shall laugh him to scorne.

¹⁰ O trust not in wrong and robbery, geue not your selues vnto vanyte: yf riches encrease, set not your hert vpon them.

²⁸ He that trusteth in his ryches, shall haue a fall, but the ryghteous shall floryshe as the grene leafe.

¹¹ But the ryche mans goodes are his stronge holde, ye he taketh them for an hye wall rounde aboute him.

⁵ Why wilt thou set thyne eye vpon the thynge, which sodenly vanisheth awaye? For riches make them selues winges, & take theyr flyght lyke an Aegle in to that ayre.

²³ Thus sayeth the Lorde. Let not the wyse man reioyse in his wysdome, ner the strong man in his strength, nether the ryche man in his rychesse.

⁴ Wyth thy wysdome and thy vnderstandyng, thou hast gotten the great welthynes, and gathered treasure of syluer and golde. ⁵ With thy greate wysdome and occupyenge, hast thou increased thy power, and because of thy greate rychesse, thy herte is proude.

⁹ Wo vnto him, that couetously gathereth euell gotten goodes into his house: that he maye set hys nest an hye, to escape from the power of misfortune.

¹⁸ Nether their syluer ner their golde shalbe able to deliuer them in that wrothful daye of the Lorde, but the whole lande shalbe consumed thorow the fyre of his gelousy: for he shall soone make clene ryddaunce of al them that dwell in the lande.

²⁵ When the disciples hearde this, they were excedindly amased, saying: who than can be saued?

¹⁶ And he put forth a simylytude vnto them sayinge: The grounde of a certaine riche man brought forth plentifull frutes, ¹⁷ and he thought within him selfe sayinge: what shall I do? because I haue no roume where to bestowe my frutes? ¹⁸ And he sayd: This will I do. I will destroye my barnes, and bylde greater, and therin will I gather all my goodes that are growen vnto me: ¹⁹ and I will saye to my soule: Soule thou hast moche goodes layd vp in stoore for many yeares, take thyne ease: eate, drincke, be mery. ²⁰ But God sayd vnto him. Thou fole, this nyght will they fetche awaye thy soule agayne from the. Then whose shall those thynges be, which thou hast prouided? ²¹ So is it with him that gathereth riches to him selfe, and is not riche towarde God.

²⁶ And they that hearde it: sayd. And who can then be saued? ²⁷ And he sayde: The thynges which are vnpossyble wt men, are possyble wyth God.

⁶⁰ Many therfore of his disciples (when they had herde this) sayde: this is an harde sayinge: who can abyde the bearinge of it?

³³ Lytle chyldren, yet a lytel whyle am I with you. Ye shall seke me, & as I sayd vnto the Iewes, whyther I goo, thyther can ye not come. Also to you saye I now.

⁵ Iesus sayeth vnto them: Children, haue ye eny meat? they answered him, no.

¹⁹ My lytell chyldren, of whom I trauayle in byrth agayne, vntill Christ be fasshyoned in you,

¹⁷ Charge them which are ryche in this world, that they be not hye mynded, ner trust in vncertayne ryches, but in the lyuinge God (which geueth vs aboundauntly all thynges to enioye them)

¹ Go to now ye ryche men. Wepe, and howle on your wretchednes that shal come vpon you. ² Your riches is corrupte, your garmentes are motheaten, ³ Youre golde & syluer is cankred, and the rust of the shalbe a wytnes vnto you, & shall eate youre flesshe as it were fyre. Ye haue heaped treasure together in your last dayes:

¹ My lytell chyldren, these thinges write I vnto you, that ye synne not. And yf eny man synne, we haue an aduocate wyth the father, Iesus christ, the ryghteous:

⁴ Lyttell chyldren, ye are of God, and haue ouercome them: for greater is he that is in you, then he that is in the worlde.

²¹ Babes kepes youre selues from ymages. Amen.

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.

²³ For lyke as the man of Iude maye chaunge his skynne, & the cat of the mountayne her spottes: so maye ye that be excercysed in euell, do good.

³ Why seest thou a mote in thy brothers eye, but consydrest not the beame that is in thyne awne eye? ⁴ Or how sayest thou to thy brother suffre me, I wyll plucke oute a moate out of thyne eye, and beholde, a beame is in thyne awne eye. ⁵ Thou ypocryte, fyrst cast oute the beame out of thyne awne eye, and then shalt thou se clearly to plucke out the mote oute of thy brothers eye.

²⁴ And agayne I saye vnto you: it is easyer for a camell to go through the eye of a nedle, then for the ryche to enter into the kyngdom of God. ²⁵ When the disciples hearde this, they were excedindly amased, saying: who than can be saued?

²⁴ ye blynde gydes, which strayne out agnat, & swalowe a Camell.

²⁵ it is easyer for a camell to go thorow a nedles eye, then for a ryche man to enter into the kyngdome of God.

⁵¹ And he went vp vnto them into the shyppe, & the wynde ceased, & they were sore amased in them selues beyonde measure, and marueyled.

³⁷ saying: He hath done all thynges well, he hath made both the deaffe to heare, and the dome to speake.

²³ Then sayde one vnto him: Lorde, are ther feaw that be saued? And he sayde vnto him:

²⁶ And they that hearde it: sayd. And who can then be saued?

³¹ And they sayde: beleue on the Lorde Iesus, & thou shalt be saued & thy housholde.

⁹ For yf thou knowledge with thy mouth that Iesus is the Lorde, & beleue in thyne hert, that God raysed hym vp from deeth, thou shalt be safe. ¹⁰ For to beleue wt the hert iustyfyeth: and to knowledge with the mouth, maketh a man safe. ¹¹ For the scrypture sayth: whosoeuer beleueth on hym, shall not be confounded. ¹² There is no difference betwene the Iewe and the Gentill. For one is Lord of all, which is ryche vnto all that call vpon him. ¹³ For whosoeuer doth call on the name of the Lord, shalbe safe.

²³ They are the mynisters of Chryst (I speake as a foole) I am more. In labours more aboundante: In strypes aboue measure: In preson more plenteouslye: In deeth ofte.

¹³ And God sayde vnto Abraham: wherfore dyd Sara laughe sayinge: shall I of a suertye bere a chylde which am olde? ¹⁴ is any thynge wonderfull to God? Acordynge to the tyme appoynted will I returne vnto the, euen acordynge to the tyme of lyfe, & Sara shall haue a sonne.

²¹ And Moses sayde: syxe hundred thousande fotmen are there of the people, among which I am. And thou hast sayd: I wyll geue them flesh, that they maye eate a moneth longe. ²² Shall the shepe & the oxen be slayne for them, to fynde them? ether, shall all the fysh of the see be gathered together for them to serue them? ²³ And the Lorde sayde vnto Moses: Shall the Lordes hande be waxed shorte? Thou shalt se nowe whither my word shall come to passe vnto the, or not.

² Then a certayne Lorde (on whose hand the kynge leaned) answered the man of God, and sayde: beholde, yf the Lorde wolde make wyndowes in heuen, myghte this sayinge come to passe? He sayde: Beholde, thou shalt se it wt thyne eyes, but shalt not eate therof.

² I knowe that thou hast power ouer all thynges, and that there is no thought hyd vnto the.

¹⁷ O Lord God, it is thou that hast made heauen and earth with thy greate power and hie arme, and there is nothyng hyd from the.

²⁷ Beholde, I am the Lorde God of all fleshe, is there eny thynge then to hard for me?

⁶ Thus sayeth the Lord of hostes: yf the resydue of this people thynke it to be vnpossible in these dayes, shuld it therfore be vnpossyble in my syght, sayth the Lord of hoostes?

²⁶ But Iesus behelde them, and sayd vnto them: wyth men this is vnpossyble but wt God all thynges are possyble.

³⁷ for with God shall nothinge be vnpossible.

²⁷ And he sayde: The thynges which are vnpossyble wt men, are possyble wyth God.

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

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

¹⁹ for he consydered, that God was able to rayse vp agayne from deeth. Therfore, receaued he him also for an ensample of the resurreccion.

²⁰ And they streyght waye lefte the nettes, and folowed hym.

²² And they immediatly lefte the shyp and theyr father, and folowed hym.

¹⁶ As he walked by the see of Galile, he sawe Simon & Andrew his brother, castynge nettes into the see, for they were fisshers. ¹⁷ And Iesus sayde vnto them: folowe me, & I will make you to become fysshers of men. ¹⁸ And strayght waye, they forsoke their nettes, and folowed him. ¹⁹ And when he had gone a lytell further thence, he sawe Iames the sonne of Zebede, and Iohn his brother, which also were in the shyppe, mendynge their nettes. ²⁰ And anone he called them. And they leeft their father Zebede in the shyp wyth the hyred seruauntes, and folowed hym.

³³ So lykewyse, whosoeuer he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.

⁷ But the thynges that were vauntage vnto me, those I counted losse for Chrystes sake. ⁸ ye I thynke all thynges but losse for the excellencye of the knowledge of Chryst Iesu my Lorde. For whom I haue counted all thynge losse, and do iudge them but vyle, that I maye wynne Chryst, ⁹ and be founde in him not hauynge myne awne ryghtewesnes of the lawe: but that which is thorow the fayth of Chryst: euen the ryghtewesnes which commeth of God thorowe fayth:

¹ And the Lorde sayd vnto Abram: Get the out of thy countrey, & out of thy nacyon, and from thy fathers house, vnto a londe that I wyll shewe the. ² And I wyll make of the a greate people, and wyll blesse the, & make thy name greate, that thou mayest be euen a blessynge. ³ I wyll also blesse them that blesse the, & cursse suche as curseth the, & in the shall all the kynreds of the erth be blessed.

²⁰ Also, regarde not youre stuffe, for the good of all the lande of Egypt is youres.

⁹ He that hath sayde vnto his father and to his mother: I haue not sene him, And he that knewe not his brethren, ner knewe his awne chyldren, those are they that haue obserued thy worde, and shall kepe thy couenaunt. ¹⁰ They shall teache Iacob thy iudgementes, and Israel thy lawe. They shall put cens before thy nose, and the burnt sacrifyce vpon thyne altare. ¹¹ Blesse Lord his fyrst frutes and accept the worke of his handes: smyte the loynes of them that ryse agaynst him, and of them that hate him, that they ryse not agayne.

¹⁰ Blessed are they which suffre persecucyon for righteousnes sake: for theirs is the kingdome of heauen. 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.

¹⁸ And ye shall be brought to the heed rulers, and kynges, for my sake, in wytnes to them and to the gentyls.

³⁵ For whosoeuer wil saue his life, shal lose it. But whosoeuer shal lose his life, for my sake & the gospels, the same shall saue it.

²⁸ Ye are they, whych haue bydden wyth me in my temptacyons. ²⁹ And I apoynt vnto you a kyngdom, as my father hath apoynted to me: ³⁰ that ye maye eate and dryncke at my table in my kyngdome, & syt on seates, iudgynge the twelue trybes of Israell.

²³ And this I do for the gospels sake, that I myght haue my parte therof.

²⁴ By fayth Moses when he was great, refused to be called the sonne of Pharaos daughter, ²⁵ & chose rather to suffre aduersitie wyth the people of God, then to enioye the pleasures of synne for a ceason, ²⁶ and estemed the rebuke of Christ greater riches then the treasures of Egypt. For he had respect vnto the rewarde.

³ & hast suffred. And hast pacience: and for my names sake hast labored, and hast not faynted.

⁹ And Amaziahu sayde to the man of God: what shall we do then, for the hundred talentes, which I haue geuen for the hoste of Israel? The man of God answered: the Lorde is able to geue the moche more then they be.

¹¹ I had rather be a dore keper in the house of my God, then to dwell in the tentes of vngodlynesse.

⁹ Honoure the Lord wt thy substaunce: and with thy firstlinges of all thyne encrease ¹⁰ so shall thy barnes be fylled with plenteousnesse: and thy presses shall flowe ouer with swete wyne.

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

¹⁰ Bringe euery Tithe into my barne, that there maye be meat in myne house: and proue me withall (sayeth the Lorde of hoostes) yf I wyll not open the wyndowes of heauen vnto you, and poure you out a blessyng with plenteousnesse.

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. ¹² Reioyse & be glad for greate is your rewarde in heuen. For so persecuted they the prophetes, which were before you.

³³ But rather seke ye fyrst the kyngdome of God, and the ryghteousnesse therof, and al these thinges shalbe ministred vnto you.

³² And whosoeuer speaketh a worde agaynst the sonne of man, it shalbe forgeuen hym. But whosoeuer speaketh agaynst the holy gost, it shall not be forgeuen him, nether in this worlde, nether in the worlde to come:

³⁰ whych shall not receaue moch more in this worlde, and in the worlde to come, lyfe euerlastynge.

²³ and Iesus walked in the temple, euen in Salomons porche.

²² And ye now therfore haue sorowe: but I will se you agayne, and your hertes shall reioyse, and your ioye shal no man take from you. ²³ And in the daye shall ye aske me no question. Uerely verely, I saye vnto you: whatsoeuer ye shall aske the father in my name, he wyll geue it you.

⁴¹ And they departed from the counsell, I reioysinge, that they were counted worthy, to suffre rebuke for his name.

²⁵ At mydnyght Paul & Sylas prayed, and lauded God. And the presoners hearde them.

³ Not that onely: but also we reioyce in tribulacyons: knowyng that tribulacyon bryngeth pacience,

¹⁰ as sorowing, & yet alwaye merye: as poore, and yet make many ryche: as hauinge nothyng, & yet possessyng all thynges.

⁸ God is able to make you riche in all grace that ye in all thynges hauynge sufficyent vnto the vtmost, maye be riche vnto all maner of good workes, ⁹ as it is wrytten: He hath sparsed abroade, and hath geuen to the poore, hys ryghtewesnesse remayneth for euer. ¹⁰ He that minystreth seed vnto the sower, minystre breed also for fode: and multyplye youre seede, and increase the frutes of youre ryghtewesnesse, ¹¹ that on all partes, ye maye be made ryche into all synglenes, which causeth thorowe vs, that thankes are geuen vnto God.

⁸ ye I thynke all thynges but losse for the excellencye of the knowledge of Chryst Iesu my Lorde. For whom I haue counted all thynge losse, and do iudge them but vyle, that I maye wynne Chryst,

¹⁶ Oure Lorde Iesu Christ hym selfe, and God and oure father (which hath loued vs, and hath geuen vs euerlastynge consolacyon, and good hope thorowe grace)

⁶ Godlynes is greate ryches If a man be content with that he hath.

² My brethren, count it for an excedyng ioye, when ye fall into diuers temptacyons: ³ knowyng this, that the trying of your fayth gendreth pacience: ⁴ and let pacience haue her parfect worke, that ye maye be parfecte and sounde, lackyng nothyng.

¹² Happy is the man that endureth temptacyon: for when he is tryed, he shall receaue the crowne of lyfe, which the Lorde hath promysed to them that loue hym.

¹¹ Beholde, we counte them happy which endure. Ye haue heard of the pacience of Iob, and haue knowen what ende the Lorde made. For the Lord is very pitiefull and mercyfull.

¹² Dearly beloued, maruayll not that ye are proued by fyre (whych thyng is to trye you) as though some straunge thing happened vnto you: ¹³ but reioyce, in as moch as ye are partakers of Christes passyons: that when hys glory appeareth, ye maye be mery and glad. ¹⁴ If ye be rayled vpon for the name of Christ, happie are ye. For the glory and the sprete of God resteth vpon you. On their parte he is euyll spoken of: but on youre parte he is glorifyed. ¹⁵ Se that none of you be punysshed as a murtherer, or as a thefe, or an euyll doar, or as a busybody in other mens matters. ¹⁶ If eny man suffre as a Christen man, let him not be ashamed: but let him glorifye God on this behalfe.

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

⁹ I know thy workes & tribulacyon and pouerte, but thou art ryche. And I knowe the blasphemy of them, whych call them selues Iewes & are not: but are the congregacyon of Sathan.

¹⁸ I counsell the to bye of me, golde tryed in the fyre, that thou mayste be ryche: and whyte rayment, that thou mayste be clothed, that thy fylthy nakednes do not appeare, & anoynt thyne eyes wyth eye salue that thou mayste se.

¹¹ I saye vnto you that many shall come from the east, and west, and shall rest with Abraham and Isaac and Iacob in the kyngdome of heauen: ¹² but the children of the kyngdome shalbe cast out into vtter darcknes: there shalbe weping and gnasshing of teth.

³⁰ But many that are fyrst, shalbe last and the last shalbe fyrst.

¹⁶ So the last shalbe fyrst, & the fyrste shalbe last. For many be called, but fewe be chosen.

³¹ Whether of them twayne dyd the wyll of the father? And they saye vnto him: the fyrst. Iesus sayeth vnto them: verely I saye vnto you, the publicans & harlotes go into the kyngdom of God before you.

²⁹ And all the people, and the publicans that heard him, iustified God, and were baptised with the baptyme of Iohn. ³⁰ But the pharises and lawers despised the councell of God agaynst them selues, and were not baptised of hym.

⁴⁰ And Iesus answered, and sayd vnto him: Simon, I haue some what to saye vnto the. And he sayd: master, saye on. ⁴¹ There was a certayne lender which had two detters, the one ought fyue hundred pence, and the other fyfty. ⁴² When they had nothynge to paye, he forgaue them both. Tell me therfore, which of them wyll loue hym most? ⁴³ Simon answered and sayd: I suppose that he to whom he forgaue most. And he sayde vnto hym: Thou hast truly iudged. ⁴⁴ And he turned to the woman, & sayd vnto Simon: Seest thou this woman. I entred into thy house, thou gauest me no water for my fete: but she hath wesshed my fete with teares, and wyped them with the heares of her head. ⁴⁵ Thou gauest me no kysse: but she, sence the tyme I came in, hath not ceased to kysse my fete. ⁴⁶ Myne head wt oyle thou didest not anoynte: but she hath anoynted my fete with oyntment. ⁴⁷ Wherfore, I saye vnto the: many synnes are forgeuen her, for she loued moch. To whom lesse is forgeuen, the same doeth lesse loue.

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

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.

⁴⁶ Then Paul and Barnabas wexed bolde, & sayde: it was mete that the worde of God shulde fyrst haue bene preached to you. But seynge ye put it from you, and thynke youre selues vnworthy of euerlastynge lyfe: lo, we turne to the Gentyls: ⁴⁷ For so hath the Lorde commaunded vs. I haue made the a lyght of the Gentyls, that thou be the saluacyon vnto the ende of the worlde. ⁴⁸ Whan the gentyls hearde thys, they were glad and glorifyed the worde of the Lorde, & beleued: euen as many as were ordeyned vnto eternal lyfe.

³⁰ What shall we saye then? We saye, that the gentyls which folowed not ryghtewesnes, haue ouertaken ryghtewesnes: euen the ryghtewesnes which cometh of fayth. ³¹ Contrary wyse, Israel which folowed the lawe of rightwesnes could not attaine to the lawe of ryghtewsnes. ³² Wherfore? euen because they sought it not by fayth: but as it were by the workes of the lawe. For they haue stombled at the stombylynge stone. ³³ As it is wrytten: Behold, I put in Syon a stomblynge stone, & a rocke that men shalbe offended at. And whosoeuer beleueth on hym, shall not be confounded.

⁸ Heare (O Iesua) thou hye preste, thou and thy frends that dwell before the, for they are wonderous people. Behold, I wyl bring forth the braunches of my seruaunt:

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.

¹⁷ And Iesus going vp to Ierusalem, toke the .xij. disciples asyde in the waye, & sayd vnto them: ¹⁸ Beholde, we go vp to Ierusalem, & the sonne of man shalbe betrayed vnto the chefe Prestes, & vnto the Scribes, & they shall condemne hym to deeth, ¹⁹ & shall delyuer hym to the gentyls, to be mocked and to be scourged, and to be crucifyed: and the thyrde daye he shall ryse agayne.

³⁴ But wyth out parable spake he nothynge vnto them. But when they were alone, he expounded all thynges to his discyples.

⁵¹ And it fortuned when the tyme was come that he shulde be receaued vp, he set hys face to go to Ierusalem,

²³ And he turned to his disciples, and sayde secretly: Happy are the eyes, which se the thinges that ye se.

³¹ Iesus toke vnto him the twelue, & sayd vnto them: Beholde, we go vp to Ierusalem, and all shalbe fulfylled, that are wrytten by the Prophetes, of the sonne of man. ³² For he shalbe delyuered vnto the gentyls, & shalbe mocked, and despytfully entreated, & spytted on: ³³ & when they haue scourged him, they wyll put hym to deeth, and the thyrd daye he shall aryse agayne. ³⁴ And they vnderstode none of these thynges. And this saying was hyd from them, so that they perceaued not the thynges which were spoken.

⁸ Hys disciples sayde vnto hym: Master, the Iewes lately sought to stone the, and wylt thou go thyther agayne?

¹⁶ Then sayd Thomas (which is called Dydimus) vnto the disciples: lett vs also go, that we maye dye with hym.

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

²² While they were occupyed in Galile Iesus sayde vnto them: it wyll come to passe that the sonne of man shalbe betrayed into the handes of men, ²³ and they shall kyll him and the thyrd daye shall he ryse agayne. And they were exceadyng sorye.

⁶⁶ what thinke ye? They answered, and sayde: he is worthy to dye:

² and brought him bounde and delyuered him vnto Poncius Pylate the debite.

³¹ And he beganne to teach them how that the sonne of man must suffre many thinges, and be reproued of the elders, and of the hye prestes, and scribes, and be kylled, & after thre dayes aryse agayne.

³¹ For he taught hys disciples, and sayd vnto them: the sonne of man shalbe deliuered into the handes of men, and they shall kyll hym: and after that he is kylled, he shall aryse agayne the thyrd daye.

⁶⁴ Ye haue heard blasphemy, what thincke ye? and they all condemned hym to be worthy of deeth.

¹ And anone in the dawninge the hye Prestes helde a counsell wt the elders & the Scrybes, & the whole congregacion, & bounde Iesus, & ledde him awaye, & deliuered him to Pilate.

²² saying: the sonne of man must suffre many thinges, and be reproued of the elders, and of the hye prestes, and scribes, and be slayne, and ryse agayne the thyrd daye.

³¹ Iesus toke vnto him the twelue, & sayd vnto them: Beholde, we go vp to Ierusalem, and all shalbe fulfylled, that are wrytten by the Prophetes, of the sonne of man. ³² For he shalbe delyuered vnto the gentyls, & shalbe mocked, and despytfully entreated, & spytted on: ³³ & when they haue scourged him, they wyll put hym to deeth, and the thyrd daye he shall aryse agayne.

¹ And the whole multitude of them arose, and led hym vnto Pylate. 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.

²¹ But they cryed, sayinge: Crucifye hym, Crucifye hym.

⁶ He is not here: but is rysen. Remember, how he spake vnto you, when he was yet in Galile, ⁷ sayinge: that the sonne of man must be delyuered into the handes of synfull men, and be crucyfyed, and the thyrde daye ryse agayne.

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

¹¹ Iesus answered: Thou couldest haue no power at all agaynst me, except it were geuen the from aboue. Therfore he that delyuered me vnto the, hath the more synne.

¹³ The God of Abraham, and of Isaac and of Iacob, the God of oure fathers hath glorified hys sonne Iesus, whom ye delyuered, and denyed in the presence of Pylate, when he had iudged hym to be loosed. ¹⁴ But ye denyed the holy and iust, and desyred a mortherar to be geuen you,

²⁷ For the inabiters of Ierusalem and theyr rulers, because they knew him not, nor yet the voyces of the prophetes which are redde euery Saboth daye, they haue fulfylled them, in condempnynge him.

²² And now beholde I go bounde in the sprete vnto Ierusalem, not knowing the thinges that shal come on me there,

⁶ Ye haue condempned and kylled the iust, and he hath not resisted you.

¹⁰ they abhorre me, and flye farre fro me, and stayne my face with spetle.

¹⁰ Wherfore my hert was glad, & my glory reioysed, my flesh also shall rest in hope.

⁶ But as for me, I am a worme & no man: a very scorne of men & the outcast of the people. ⁷ All they that se me, laugh me to scorne: they shote out theyr lyppes, & shake the heade sayinge. ⁸ He trusted in God that he wolde delyuer him: let him delyuer him, yf he wyll haue him.

¹³ They gape vpon me with theyr mouthes as it were a rampynge and roarynge lyon.

⁶ but I offre my backe vnto the smyters, & my chekes to the nippers. I turne not my face from shame and spittyng,

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.

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

³⁹ But he answered and sayde to them. The euyll and aduouterous generacion seketh a signe and ther shall no sygne be geuen to them, but the signe of the Prophet Ionas. ⁴⁰ For as Ionas was thre dayes and thre nightes in the whales belly, so shall the sonne of man be thre dayes and thre nightes in the herte of the erth.

⁶⁷ Then dyd they spytt in his face, & buffeted him with fistes. And other smote him on hys face wyth the palme of their handes,

²⁷ Then the soudeours of the debite toke Iesus in the comen hall, and gathered vnto him al the company. ²⁸ And they stripped him, and put on him a purpill robe, ²⁹ and platted a croune of thornes and put vpon his heed, and a rede in his ryght hande: and bowed the knee before him: & mocked him, saying: hayle, kyng of the Iewes: ³⁰ and whan they had spytt vpon him, they toke the rede, and smote him on the heed. ³¹ And after that they had mocked him, they toke the roabe of him agayne, and put hys awne rayment on him, & led him awaye to crucifye him. ³² And as they came out, they founde a man of Cyren (named Simon) him they compelled to beare his crosse. ³³ And they came vnto the place which is called Golgotha (that is to saye, a place of deed mens sculles) ³⁴ and gaue hym veneger to drincke myngled with gall. And when he had tasted therof, he wolde not drincke. ³⁵ When they had crucifyed him, they parted his garmentes, & dyd cast lottes: that it myght be fulfylled which was spoken by the Prophet. They departed my garmentes amonge them: and vpon my vesture dyd they cast lottes. ³⁶ And they sate and watched him there, ³⁷ and set vp ouer his heed the cause of hys deeth, wrytten: This is Iesus the kynge of the Iewes. ³⁸ Then were there two theues crucifyed with him, one on the ryght hande, and another on the lyfte. ³⁹ They that passed by, reuyled him, waggynge their heades, ⁴⁰ and sayinge: thou that destroydest the temple of God and dyddest bylde it in thre dayes, saue thy selfe If thou be the sonne of God, come downe from the crosse. ⁴¹ Like wyse also the hye prestes, mocking him with the Scribes and elders sayde: ⁴² He saued other, him selfe can he not saue. If he be the kynge of Israel: let him now come doune from the crosse, & we will beleue him. ⁴³ He trusted in God, let him delyuer him now, yf he wyll haue him: for he sayde, I am the sonne of God. ⁴⁴ The theues also, which were crucifyed with him, cast the same in his tethe.

⁶³ Then the hye preste rent his clothes, & sayd: what nede we eny further of wytnesses?

⁶⁵ And some beganne to spit at him, & to couer his face, & to beate him with fistes, and to saye vnto him, Areade: And the seruauntes boffeted him on the face.

¹⁷ & they clothed him with purple, & they platted a croune of thornes, & crouned him withall, ¹⁸ & beganne to salute him: Hayle kynge of the Iewes. ¹⁹ And they smote hym, on the heed wt a rede and dyd spitt vpon hym & bowed their knees, & worshyped him. ²⁰ And when they had mocked him, they toke the purple of hym, & put his awne clothes on him, & ledde hym out, to crucifye him.

²⁹ And they that went by, rayled on hym: wagging their heedes, and saying: A wretche thou that destroyest the temple, and byldest it in thre dayes: ³⁰ saue thy selfe, & come doune from the crosse. ³¹ Lykewyse also mocked hym the hye Prestes amonge them selues with the Scrybes & sayde, he saued other men, hym selfe he cannot saue.

⁶³ And the men that toke Iesus, mocked him, and smote him: ⁶⁴ and whan they had blyndfolded him, they stroke hym on the face, & asked hym, saying: arede, who is it that smote the? ⁶⁵ And many other thynges despytfullye sayd they agaynst hym.

¹¹ And Herod wyth hys men of warre, despysed hym: and whan he had mocked hym, he arayed hym in whyte clothyng, and sent hym agayne to Pylate.

³⁵ And the people stode, and behelde. And the rulers mocked him wyth them, saying: he saued other men, let him saue him selfe, yf he be very Christ, the chosen of God. ³⁶ The soudyers also mocked hym, and came, and offred hym veneger, ³⁷ and sayd: yf thou be the kynge of the Iewes, saue thy selfe. ³⁸ And a superscripcyon was wrytten ouer hym, wt lettres of Greke, & Latin, and Hebrew: This is the kynge of the Iewes. ³⁹ And one of the euyll doers whych were hanged, rayled on him, sayinge: If thou be Chryst, saue thy selfe and vs.

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

¹⁰ and sayeth vnto hym: Euery man at the begynninge doth sett forth good wyne, and when men be droncke, then that whych is worse. But thou hast kept the good wyne, vntyll now.

² And the soudiers wounde a croune of thornes, and put it on hys heed. And they dyd on him a purple garment, ³ and sayde: hayll kynge of the Iewes: and they smote hym on the face.

⁴ And that he was buried, and that he arose agayne the thirde daye accordyng to the scriptures:

⁴ And when the woman of Thekoa had fallen on her face to the grounde, and done obeysaunce, she sayde vnto the kynge: helpe me O kynge. ⁵ The kynge sayde vnto her: what ayleth the? She answered: I am a wedowe, and myne husbande is deed. ⁶ And thy handmayde had two sonnes, and they two fought together in the felde, (where was no man to go betwene them) but the one smote the other and slewe hym. ⁷ And beholde, the whole kynred is rysen agaynst thy handmayde, and they sayd: delyuer vs him that smote hys brother: that we maye kyll hym for the soule of his brother whome he slue. We will destroye the heyre also. And so they shall quenche my sparkle whych is left, that he shall stere vp (to my husbande) nether name ner issue vpon the erth. ⁸ And the kynge sayde vnto the woman: go home to thyne house, I wyll geue a charge for the. ⁹ And the woman of Thekoa sayde vnto the kynge: My Lorde O kynge, thys trespace be on me and on my fathers house, and the kynge and hys seate be giltlesse. ¹⁰ And the kynge sayd: yf any man saye ought vnto the, bryng hym to me, and he shall hurte the no moare. ¹¹ Then sayde she: lett the kynge remember hys Lorde God, that the auenger of the bloude geather not on heapes together to destroye, and that they slaye not my sonne. And he answered: as sure as the Lorde lyueth there shall not one heere of thy sonne fall to the erthe.

¹⁶ and nowe I aske a peticion of the: denye me nott. And she sayde vnto him: Saye on.

²⁰ Then she sayde: I desyre a lytell peticion of the, I praye the, saye me not naye. And the kynge sayde vnto her: Aske on, my mother: for I will not saye the naye.

²⁰ Then came to him the mother of Zebedes chyldren, wt her sonnes, worshyppyng him & desyryng a certaine thynge of him. ²¹ And he sayeth vnto her, what wilt thou? She sayde vnto him: Graunte, that these my two sonnes may syt, the one on thy ryght hande, and the other on the lefte, in thy kyngdome. ²² But Iesus answered & sayde: Ye wot not what ye aske. Are ye able to dryncke of that cuppe that I shall drynke of: & to be baptised wt the baptyme, that I am baptised wt? ²³ They saye vnto him: we are. He sayde vnto them: ye shall dryncke in dede of my cup: & be baptised wt the baptyme that I am baptised with. But to syt on my ryght hande & on my left, is not myne to geue: but it shall chaunce vnto them, that it is prepared for of my father. ²⁴ And when the ten heard this, they disdayned at the two brethren: ²⁵ But Iesus called them vnto him, & sayde: ye knowe that the princes of the nacions haue dominion ouer them. And they that are great men, exercyse auctorite vpon them. ²⁶ It shall not be so amonge you. But whosoeuer wyll be greate amonge you, let him be youre minister: ²⁷ and whoso will be chefe amonge you, let him be youre seruaunt: ²⁸ euen as the sonne of man cam, not to be ministred vnto, but to minister, & to geue his lyfe a redempcion for many.

³⁷ And he suffred no man to folowe him, saue Peter, and Iames, and Iohn the brother of Iames.

² And after sixe dayes Iesus taketh Peter and Iames, and Iohn, and leedeth them vp into an hye mountayne out of the waye alone: and he was transfigured before them.

³³ And he taketh wyth him Peter & Iames & Iohn, & began to waxe abasshed, & to be in an agonye,

⁵ and in Gibeon the Lorde apeared to Salomon in a dreame by nyght. And God sayde: aske what thou wylt, that I maye geue it the. ⁶ And Salomon sayde: thou haste shewed vnto thy seruaunt Dauid my father great mercy, when he walked before the in trueth, in ryghtewesnes, & in playnesse of hert with the. And thou hast kepte for hym this greate mercy, that thou hast geuen hym a sonne, to sytt on hys seate: as it is come to passe thys daye. ⁷ And nowe, O Lord my God, it is thou that hast made thy seruaunt kynge in steade of Dauid my father, And I am but yonge, and wote not howe to go out and in. ⁸ And thy seruaunt is in the myddes of thy people, which thou haste chosen. And verely, the people are so manye, that they cannot be tolde nor nombred for multitude. ⁹ Geue therfore vnto thy seruaunt an vnderstandynge hert, to iudge thy people, that I maye decerne betwene good and bad. For who is able to iudge thys, thy so myghtye a people? ¹⁰ And thys pleased the Lorde well, that Salomon had desyred thys thynge. ¹¹ And God sayde vnto him: because thou hast asked this thynge, and hast not asked longe lyfe, nether hast asked ryches, nor the soule of thyne enemyes, but hast asked vnderstandynge and discrecyon in iudgement. ¹² Beholde, I haue done accordynge to thy peticyon. For I haue geuen the a wyse and an vnderstandynge herte, so that there was none like the before the, nether after the shal eny aryse lyke vnto the. ¹³ And I haue also geuen the, that which thou hast not asked, euen rychesse and honoure, so that there shalbe no kynge lyke vnto the all thy dayes. ¹⁴ And yf thou wylt walke in my wayes, to kepe myne ordinaunces and my commaundmentes, as thy father Dauid dyd walke, I will lengthen thy dayes. When Salomon awoke, behold, it was a dreame. ¹⁵ And he came to Ierusalem and stode before the arck of the testament of the Lorde, and offered burntofferynges and peace offerynges, and made a feaste to all his seruauntes.

⁵¹ And Iesus answered, and sayde vnto hym: what wylt thou that I do vnto the? The blynde sayde vnto hym: Master, that I myght se.

⁷ If ye byde in me, and my wordes abyde in you: aske what ye wyll, and it shalbe done for you.

¹⁹ And he sayde agayne: heare thou therfore the worde of the Lorde. I saw the Lorde syt on hys seate, and all the hoost of heauen stode about hym, on hys ryght hand and on hys lefte.

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

¹ A Psalme of Dauid. The Lorde sayde vnto my Lorde: Syt thou on my ryght hand, vntill I make thine enemyes thy fotestole.

²⁸ Iesus sayd vnto them: verely I saye vnto you: that when the sonne of man shall syt in the seate of hys maiestye, ye that haue folowed me in there generacyon shall syt also vpon .xij. seates, & iudge the .xij. trybes of Israel.

³¹ When the sonne of man commeth in his glorye, & all the holy angels wyth him, then shall he syt vpon the seate of hys glorie,

³⁸ Whosoeuer therfore shalbe asshamed of me and of my wordes, in thys aduoutrous and synfull generacion: of hym also shall the sonne of man be asshamed, when he commeth in the glorye of hys father with the holy angels.

¹⁹ So then, when the Lorde had spoken vnto them he was receaued into heauen, and is on the right hand of God.

²⁶ Ought not Chryst to haue suffred these thynges, and to enter into hys glory?

¹¹ searchyng when or at what tyme the sprete of Chryst (whych was in them) shuld sygnifye, whych sprete testifyed before, the passyons that shuld happen vnto Chryst, & the glory that shulde folowe after,

²² And kinge Salomon answered and sayde vnto his mother: why doest thou aske Abisag the Sunamite for Adonia? aske for him the kyngdome also: for he is myne elder brother, and hath for hym Abiathar the preaste and Ioab the sonne of Zaruia.

⁸ And why? God is the Iudge: he putteth downe one, and setteth vp another.

²² Thus sayeth thy Lorde: thy Lorde and God, the defender of hys people: Beholde, I wyll take the slombrynge cuppe out of thy hande, euen the cuppe wyth the dregges of my wrath: that from hence forth thou shalt neuer drinke it more,

¹⁵ For thus hath the Lorde God of Israel spoken vnto me: Take this wyne cuppe of indignacion fro my hande, that thou mayest cause all the people, to whom I send the, for to dryncke of it:

⁵ And sekest thou yet promotion? Loke not for it, and desyre it not. For I wyll brynge a miserable plage vpon all fleshe, sayeth the Lorde. But thy lyfe wyll I geue the for a praye in all places, wheresoeuer thou goest.

²¹ And he sayeth vnto her, what wilt thou? She sayde vnto him: Graunte, that these my two sonnes may syt, the one on thy ryght hande, and the other on the lefte, in thy kyngdome. ²² But Iesus answered & sayde: Ye wot not what ye aske. Are ye able to dryncke of that cuppe that I shall drynke of: & to be baptised wt the baptyme, that I am baptised wt?

³⁹ And he went a lytell farther, and fell flat on his face, and prayed, sayinge: O my father, yf it be possible, let this cuppe passe from me: neuerthelesse, not as I will, but as thou wilt.

³⁶ And he sayde: Abba father, all thinges are possible vnto the, take awaye this cup from me. Neuerthelesse, not that I will: but that thou wilt, be done.

⁵⁰ Not withstandynge I must be baptysed wt a baptime: and how am I payned, tyll it be ended?

⁴² saying: Father, yf thou wylt, remoue thys cup from me. Neuerthelesse, not my wyll, but thyne be fulfylled.

¹¹ Therfore sayeth Iesus vnto Peter: put vp thy swearde into the sheath: shall I not dryncke of the cup, which my father hath geuen me?

²⁶ Lyke wyse, the sprete also helpeth oure infirmyties. For we knowe not what to desyre as we ought: but the sprete maketh intercessyon for vs, with gronynges which cannot be expressed.

³ Ye aske and receaue not, because ye aske amysse: euen to consume it vpon your lustes.

²⁵ It is ynough for the disciple, that he be as his master is, and that the seruaunt be as his Lorde is. If they haue called the Lord of the house, Beelzebub: how moche more shal they call them of his householde so?

³¹ But he spake more vehemently: no, yf I shulde dye with the, I wyll not denye the. Lyke wyse also sayde they all.

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

²⁰ Remember the worde that I sayd vnto you: the seruaunt is not greater then the lorde. If they haue persecuted me, they wyll also persecute you. If they haue kept my saying, they will kepe youres also.

¹⁴ I haue geuen them thy worde, and the worlde hath hated them, because they are not of the world, euen as I also am not of the world.

² And he kylled Iames the brother of Iohn with the swerd.

²⁴ Nowe ioye I in my sufferinges for you and fulfyll that which is behynde of the passyons of Christ in my flesshe, for hys bodies sake, which is the congregacyon:

⁹ I Iohn youre brother, and companion in tribulacion, and in the kyngdome & pacience in Iesu Christ, was in the yle that is called Pathmos, for the worde of God, and for the witnessing of Iesu Christ:

²³ They saye vnto him: we are. He sayde vnto them: ye shall dryncke in dede of my cup: & be baptised wt the baptyme that I am baptised with. But to syt on my ryght hande & on my left, is not myne to geue: but it shall chaunce vnto them, that it is prepared for of my father.

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

²⁴ Father, I will that they which thou hast geuen me be with me where I am, that they maye se my glory, which thou hast geuen me. For thou louedest me before the makyng of the worlde.

¹⁶ but now they desyre a better (that is to saye) a heauenly. Wherfore God himselfe is not ashamed to be called theyr God for he hath prepared for them a citye.

¹⁰ Amonge the proude there is euer stryfe, but amonge those that do all thynges with aduisement, there is wysdome.

²⁴ And when the ten heard this, they disdayned at the two brethren:

³³ And he came to Capernaum. And when he was come into the house, he asked them: what was it that ye disputed among yourselues by the waye? ³⁴ And they helde their peace: for by the waye they had reasoned among them selues, who shuld be the chefest. ³⁵ And when he was set downe, he called the twelue to hym, and sayd vnto them: yf eny man desyre to be fyrst, the same shalbe last of all, and seruaunt to all. ³⁶ And he toke a chylde, and set hym in the myddes of them: & when he had taken hym in hys armes, he sayde vnto them:

²⁴ And ther was a stryfe amonge them, whych of them shuld seme to be the greatest.

¹⁰ Be kynd one to another wich brotherly loue. In geuynge honoure, go one before another.

³ that nothinge be done thorowe stryfe or of vayne glory, but in mekenes of mynde, let euery man esteme another better then hym selfe.

⁵ Ether do ye thynke that the scripture sayth in vayne. The sprete the dwelleth in vs, lusteth euen contrary to enuy:

²⁵ But Iesus called them vnto him, & sayde: ye knowe that the princes of the nacions haue dominion ouer them. And they that are great men, exercyse auctorite vpon them.

²⁵ And he sayde vnto them: the kynges of nacyons raygne ouer them: and they that haue auctoryte vpon them, are called gracious lordes.

³ not as though ye were lordes ouer the parisshes: but that ye be an ensample to the flock

²⁶ It shall not be so amonge you. But whosoeuer wyll be greate amonge you, let him be youre minister: ²⁷ and whoso will be chefe amonge you, let him be youre seruaunt:

⁸ But be not ye called Rabbi. For one is youre master, euen Chryst, and all ye are brethren. ⁹ And call no man youre father vpon the erth, for one is your father which is in heauen ¹⁰ Nether be ye called masters, for one is youre master, euen Chryst. ¹¹ He that is greatest amonge you, shalbe youre seruaunt. ¹² But whosoeuer exalteth him selfe? shalbe brought lowe. And he that humbleth him selfe, shalbe exalted.

³⁵ And when he was set downe, he called the twelue to hym, and sayd vnto them: yf eny man desyre to be fyrst, the same shalbe last of all, and seruaunt to all.

⁴⁸ & sayd vnto them: Whosoeuer receaueth this child in my name, receaueth me. And whosoeuer receaueth me, receaueth him that sent me. For he that is lest among you all, the same shalbe greate.

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

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.

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. ¹⁸ I speake not of you all, I knowe whom I haue chosen. But that the scripture maye be fulfylled: he that eateth bread with me, hath lyfte vp hys hele against me.

³⁶ Iesus answered: my kyngdome is not of this worlde. Yf my kyngdome were of this worlde, then wolde my mynysters suerly fyght, that I shulde not be delyuered to the Iewes, but now is my kyngdome not from hence.

² & fassyon not youre selues lyke vnto this worlde: but be ye chaunged in youre shape, by the renuyng of your mynde, that ye maye proue what thynge that good, and acceptable, and perfaycte wyll of God is.

¹⁹ For though I be fre from all men, yet haue I made my selfe seruaunt vnto all men, that I myght wynne the moo. ²⁰ Unto the Iewes, I became as a Iewe, to wynne the Iewes. To them that were vnder the lawe, was I made as though I had bene vnder the lawe, to wynne them that were vnder the lawe. ²¹ To them that were wythout lawe, became I as though I had bene wythout lawe (when I was not without lawe as perteyning to God, but vnder the lawe of Chryst) to wynne them that were wythout lawe. ²² To the weake became I as weake, to wynne the weake: In all thinges I fasshyoned my selfe to all men, to saue at the least waye some. ²³ And this I do for the gospels sake, that I myght haue my parte therof.

¹³ Brethren, ye were called into libertye: only let not youre libertye be an occasion vnto the flesshe: but by loue serue one another.

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 ⁶ Submyt youre selues therfore vnder the myghty hande of God, that he maye exalte you, when the tyme is come.

¹⁰ Yet hath it pleased the Lorde thus to bruste hym wyth plages, and to smyte hym wyth infyrmite, that when he had made his soule an offeryng for synne, he myght se longe lastynge sede. And thys deuyce of the Lorde shall prospere in hys hande. ¹¹ With trauayle & laboure of hys soule, shall he optayne frute, and he shall be satisfyed by the knowledge of hym whych is my ryghteous seruaunt he shall iustifye the multitude, for he shall beare awaye theyr synnes. ¹² Therfore wyll I geue hym the multitude for hys parte, and he shall deuyde the spoyle wyth the strongest because he geueth ouer hys soule to death, and is rekened amonge the transgressours, whych neuertheles hath taken awaye the synnes of the multitude, and made intercessyon for the mysdoers.

²⁴ .Lxx. wekes are determed ouer thy people, and ouer the holy cytie: that the wyckednes maye be consumed, that the synne may haue an ende, that the offence maye be reconciled, and to brynge in euerlastinge ryghteousnesse, to fulfyll the visyons and the prophetes, and to anoynte the moost holy one.

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

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

²⁶ But ye shall not be so. But he that is greatest amonge you, shalbe as the younger: and he that is chefe, shalbe as he that doth mynister. ²⁷ For whether is greater, he that sytteth at meate, or he that serueth? Is not he that sytteth at meate? But I am amonge you, as he that mynistreth.

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

¹⁴ If I then youre lorde and master haue wasshed youre fete, ye also ought to wasshe one anothers fete.

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.

⁹ For ye knowe the liberalytie of oure Lord Iesus Christ, that though he was ryche, yet for youre sakes he became poore that ye, thorowe hys pouertye, myght be made ryche.

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

⁵ Let the same mynde be in you, that was also in Christ Iesu: ⁶ which whan he was in the shape of God, thought it no robbery to be equall with God ⁷ Neuerthelesse he made hym selfe of no reputacion, takynge on hym the shape of a seruaunte, and became lyke vnto men, ⁸ and was founde in his apparell as a man. He humbled him selfe, and became obedient vnto the deeth, euen the deeth of the crosse.

⁴ one that ruleth well his awne house, one that hath chyldren in subieccyon with all reuerence. ⁵ For yf a man cannot rule his awne house, howe shall he care for the congregacyon of God? ⁶ He maye not be a yonge scoler, lest he swell and fall into the iudgement of the euyll speaker.

¹⁴ whych gaue him selfe for vs, to redeme vs from all vnryghtewesnes, and to pourge vs a peculyer people vnto hym selfe feruently geuen vnto good workes.

⁸ though he were the sonne yet learned he obedience, by those thynges which he suffered:

¹⁹ but wt the precious bloude of Chryst, as of a lambe vndefyled, and wythout spot,

²⁹ And as they departed from Hiericho, moch people folowed him. ³⁰ And beholde, two blynd men sittinge by the waysyde, when they hearde that Iesus passed by, they cried sayinge: O lord thou sonne of Dauid, haue mercy on vs. ³¹ And the people rebuked them, because they shulde holde their peace. But they cried the more sayinge: haue mercy on vs. O Lord thou sonne of Dauid. ³² And Iesus stode still, and called them, & sayde: what wyll ye that I shall do vnto you: ³³ They saye vnto him: Lorde, that oure eyes maye be opened: ³⁴ So Iesus had compassion on them, and touched their eyes, & immediatly their eyes receaued syght. And they folowed him.

²⁰ And there was a certayne begger named Lazarus, which laye at his gate full of sores,

²² And it fortuned, that the begger died, and was caryed by the angelles into Abrahams bosome. The riche man also dyed, and was buryed.

³⁵ And it came to passe, that as he was come nye vnto Hierico, a certayne blynde man sate by the waye syde, beggynge.

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?

² And a certayne man that was halt from hys mothers wombe, was brought, whom they layde daylie at the gate of the temple (which is called bewtyfull) to aske almes of them that entred into the temple. ³ When he sawe Peter and Iohn, that they wolde into the temple, he desyred to receaue an almes.

⁶ For vnto vs a chylde is borne, & vnto vs a sonne is geuen. Upon hys shoulder doth the kyngdome lye, and he is called wt hys awne name: wonderfull. The geuer of councell, the myghtye God, the euerlasting father, the prince of peace, ⁷ he shall make no ende to encrease the kyngdome & peace, & shall syt vpon the seate of Dauid & in his kyngdome, to set vp the same, & to stablish it wt equyte and ryghteousnesse, from hence forth for euermore. Thys shall the gelousy of the Lorde of Hostes brynge to passe.

¹ And there shall come a rodd forth of the kynred of Isai, and a blossome shall florish out of hys rote.

⁵ Beholde, the tyme commeth, sayeth the Lorde, that I wyll rayse vp the ryghteous braunche of Dauid, which kynge shall beare rule, and he shall prosper with wysedome, & shall set vp equite & righteousnes agayne in the erth. ⁶ In this tyme shall Iuda be saued, and Israell shall dwell without feare. And this is the name that they shal call him: euen the Lorde oure ryghteousnesse.

¹ Thys ys the booke of the generacyon of Iesus Chryst, the sonne of Dauid, the sonne of Abraham.

²³ and went and dwelt in a cyte which is called Nazareth: that it might be fulfylled which was spoken by the prophetes: he shalbe called a Nazarite.

²⁷ And whan Iesus departed thence, two blynde men folowed him, cryinge & sayinge: O thou sonne of Dauid, haue mercy on vs:

²³ And all the people were amased, and sayde: Is not this that sonne of Dauid?

²² & beholde, a woman of Canaan (which cam out of the same coastes) cryed vnto him, sayinge: haue mercy on me o Lorde, thou sonne of Dauid: My daughter is pyteously vexed wyth a deuyll.

³⁰ And beholde, two blynd men sittinge by the waysyde, when they hearde that Iesus passed by, they cried sayinge: O lord thou sonne of Dauid, haue mercy on vs.

⁹ Moreouer, the people that went before, & they that came after, cried saying: Hosanna to the sonne of Dauid Blessed is he that commeth in the name of the Lord Hosanna in the hyest.

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

⁴² saying: what thynke ye of Chryst? Whose sonne is he? They saye vnto him: the sonne of Dauid. ⁴³ He sayde vnto them how then doeth Dauid in sprete, call him Lorde sayinge: ⁴⁴ The Lord sayd vnto my Lorde syt the on my ryght hande tyll I make thyne enemyes thy foote stoole. ⁴⁵ If Dauid then, call him Lord, how is he then his sonne?

⁷¹ When he was gone out into the porche, a nother wenche sawe him, and sayde vnto them that were there: This felowe was also with Iesus of Nazareth.

²⁴ sayinge: Alas, what haue we to do with the thou Iesus of Nazareth? Art thou come to destroye vs? I knowe the what thou art euen that holy one of God.

¹⁶ And he came to Nazareth where he was noursed and (as hys custome was) he went into the synagoge on the Saboth daye, and stode vp for to reade.

³⁶ And when he hearde the people passe by, he asked what it meant. ³⁷ And they sayde vnto hym, that Iesus of Nazareth passed by.

⁴⁶ And Nathanael sayd vnto him can there eny good thynge come out of Nazareth? Philip sayeth vnto him come and se.

⁴¹ but other sayde this is Christ. But some sayde: shal Christ come out of Galile:

⁵² They answered, and sayd vnto him: art thou also of Galile? Search & loke, For out of Galile aryseth no Prophete.

¹⁹ And Pylate wrote a tytle, & put it on the crosse. The wrytynge was. Iesus of Nazareth kynge of the Iewes.

¹⁴ for we heard him saye: this Iesus of Nazareth shal destroye this place, and shal chaunge the ordinaunces, which Moses gaue vs.

²² And whan he was put downe, he sett vp Dauid to be theyr kynge, of whom he repported saying: I haue founde Dauid the sonne of Iesse, a man after myne awne hert, which shall fulfyll all my wyll. ²³ Of this mannes seed hath God (accordynge as he had promysed) brought forth to Israell, a sauioure, one Iesus,

³ of hys sonne, whych was borne of the seed of Dauid after the flesshe: 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

¹⁶ I Iesus sent myne Angell, to testyfye vnto you these thynges in the congregacions. I am the rote and the generacion of Dauid and the bryghte mornynge starre.

²⁴ and taried behinde hym selfe alone. And there wrastled a man wyth hym vnto the breakynge of the daye. ²⁵ And when he sawe that he coulde not preuayle against hym, he smote hym vnder the thye, and the senowe of Iacobs thye shranke, as he wrastled wyth hym. ²⁶ And he sayde: let me goo, for the daye breaketh. Which answered: I wyll not let the goo, excepte thou blesse me. ²⁷ And he sayde vnto hym: what is thy name? He answered: Iacob. ²⁸ He sayde: thou shalt be called Iacob nomore, but Israell. For as a prynce hast thou wrastled wyth God: and wyth man, and hast preuayled.

¹² And that thou Lorde art mercyfull: for thou rewardest euery man accordynge to hys worcke.

¹³ Ye shall seke me and fynde me. Yee, yf so be that ye seke me with your whole hert,

²³ But he answered her nothing at all, & his disciples came, and besought him, sayinge: sende her awaye, for she crieth after vs: ²⁴ But he answered, & sayde: I am not sent but vnto the lost shepe of the housse of Israel ²⁵ Then cam she, & worshipped him, sayinge: lorde, helpe me. ²⁶ He answered and said: it is not mete, to take the chyldrens bread, and to cast it to dogges. ²⁷ She answered & sayde: truthe Lorde, for the dogges eate of the crommes, which fall from their masters table. ²⁸ Then Iesus answered and sayde vnto her. O woman, greate is thy faith, be it vnto the, euen as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole euen at that same tyme.

¹³ Then were there brought vnto hym yonge chyldren, that he shuld put hys handes on them, & praye. And the disciples rebuked them.

³¹ And the people rebuked them, because they shulde holde their peace. But they cried the more sayinge: haue mercy on vs. O Lord thou sonne of Dauid.

³⁵ Whyll he yet spake, ther came from the ruler of the Synagoges house, certayne which sayd: thy daughter is deed: why diseasest thou the Master any further?

²⁶ The woman was a Greke out of the nacyon of Syrophenicia, & she besought him, that he wolde cast out the deuyl from her daughter. ²⁷ But Iesus sayd vnto her: let the chyldren fyrst be fedd. For it is not mete, to take the chyldrens bread, and to cast it vnto whelpes. ²⁸ She answered & sayde vnto hym: euen so lorde, neuerthelesse, the whelpes also eat vnder the table of the chyldrens cromes. ²⁹ And he sayde vnto her: for thys sayinge go thy waye, the deuyl is gone out of thy daughter.

⁵ And he sayd vnto them: yf any of you shall haue a frend, & shall go to him at mydnight, and saye vnto him, frende: lende me thre loaues, ⁶ for a frende of myne is come out of the waye to me, and I haue nothynge to set before him, ⁷ and he within answere, and saye: trouble me not, the dore is now shut, and my chyldren are with me in the chamber, I cannot ryse and geue the. ⁸ I saye vnto you, though he wyll not arise and geue him, because he is his frende: yet because of his importunite he will rise, and geue him as many as he nedeth. ⁹ And I saye vnto you: aske, and it shalbe geuen you. Seke, and ye shall fynde: Knocke, and it shalbe opened vnto you. ¹⁰ For euery one that asketh, receaueth: and he that seketh, fyndeth: & to him that knocketh, shall it be opened.

¹ And he put forth a parable vnto them, signifying that men ought all wayes to praye and not to be wery, ² sayinge: Ther was in a certayne cytie a iudge, which feared not God, nether regarded man. ³ And ther was a certayne wedowe in the same cytye, and she came vnto hym, sayinge: auenge me of myne aduersary. ⁴ And he wolde not for a whyle. But after warde he sayd within him selfe: though I feare not God, nor care for man, ⁵ yet because thys wedowe is importune vpon me, I wyll auenge her, lest she come at the last and rayle on me. ⁶ And the Lorde sayde, heare what the vnryghtewes Iudge sayeth. ⁷ And shal not God auenge his electe, which crye daye and nyght vnto him, yee, though he deferre them? ⁸ I tell you that he will auenge them, & that quickly. Neuerthelesse, when the sonne of man commeth, shall he fynde fayth on the erth?

³⁹ And they whych went before, rebuked hym, that he shulde holde his peace. But he cryed so moch the more: thou sonne of Dauid, haue mercy on me.

¹⁸ And praye all wayes with all maner of prayer and supplicacyon in the sprete: and watch ther vnto with all instance and supplycacyon for all saynctes

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

¹⁵ But thou, O Lorde God, art full of compassyon, and mercy, longe suffrynge, plenteous in goodnes and trueth.

⁸ The Lorde is gracyous and mercyfull, long sufferynge, and of greate goodnesse.

⁴⁰ And Iesus stode styll, and commaunded hym to be brought vnto hym. And when he was come neare, he asked hym,

²⁸ And assone as he had so sayde, she wente her waye, & called Mary her syster secretly, saying: The master is come, and calleth for the.

¹⁷ Wherfore, in all thynges it became hym to be made lyke vnto his brethren, that he myght be mercyfull, and a faythfull hye Preste in thynges concernynge God, for to pourge the peoples synnes.

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

¹ Wherfore, let vs also (seyng that we are compassed with so great a multitude of witnesses) laye awaye all that presseth doune, and the synne that hangeth so fast on, let vs runne with pacience vnto the battayle that is set before vs,

⁷ And that same nyght dyd God appeare vnto Salomon, and sayde vnto hym: aske, what I shall geue the.

⁸ Be not ye therfore lyke vnto them. For youre father knoweth what thinges ye haue neade of before ye aske of him:

⁷ Aske, and it shalbe geuen you: Seke, & ye shall fynde: Knocke, and it shalbe opened vnto you.

⁷ & gretynges in the markett, and to be called of men, Rabbi.

³⁶ He sayde vnto them: what wolde ye that I shuld do for you?

⁴¹ sayinge: what wilt thou that I do vnto the? And he sayde: Lorde, that I maye receaue my syght. ⁴² And Iesus sayd vnto hym: receaue thy syght: thy fayth, hath saued the. ⁴³ And immediatly he receaued his syght, and folowed hym, praysynge God. And all the people, when they sawe it, gaue prayse vnto God.

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

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

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

⁸ The Lorde helpeh them vp that are fallen, the Lorde careth for the ryghteous.

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. ¹⁹ The meke spreted also shalbe mery in the Lorde, and the poore amonge them that be lowly, shall reioyce in the holy one of Israel.

⁵ Then shall the eyes of the blinde be lyghtened, and the eares of the deaffe opened.

¹⁶ I wyll bring the blinde into a strete, that they knowe not. and lede them into a fote path, that they are ignoraunt in. I shall make darcknesse lyght before them, and the thynge that is croked to be streyght. These thinges haue I done vnto them, and not forsaken them: ¹⁷ They are fallen backe yee, and let them be ashamed earnestly, that hope in Idoles, & saye to fashyoned ymages: ye are oure goddes. ¹⁸ Heare, O ye deafe men, and sharpen youre syghtes to se (O ye blinde.)

²² But Iesus tourned him aboute, and whan he sawe her, he sayde. Daughter, be of good comforte, thy faith hath made the safe. And the woman was made whole, euen that same tyme.

²⁸ And when he was come into the house, the blynde came to him. And Iesus sayeth vnto them: Beleue ye, that I am able to do this? They saye vnto him: Lord, we beleue. ²⁹ Then touched he their eyes, sayinge: accordynge to youre fayth be it vnto you. ³⁰ And their eyes were opened. And Iesus charged them sayinge. Se that no man knowe of it.

⁵ The blynd receaue their sight: the lame walke, the lepers are clensed: and the deef heare, the deed are raysed vp, & the poore receaue the glad tidinges of the gospell.

²² Then was brought to him a blynd & domme man, that was vexed with a deuyll, & he healed him, in somoch, that the blynd and domme, both spake and sawe.

²⁸ Then Iesus answered and sayde vnto her. O woman, greate is thy faith, be it vnto the, euen as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole euen at that same tyme.

¹⁴ And the blynde & the halt came to him in the temple, & he healed them.

³¹ And he came, & toke her by the hande: & lifte her vp: & ymediatly the feuer forsoke hyr, & she mynistred vnto them.

³⁴ And he sayd vnto her: Daughter thy fayth hath saued the: go in peace, and be whole of thy plage.

²⁵ After that, he put hys handes agayne vpon hys eyes, and made hym se. And he was restored, and sawe euery man clearly.

⁵⁰ And he sayd to the woman: Thy faith hath saued the. Go in peace.

² And also certayne women, which were healed of euell spretes, and infirmytes. Mary which is called Magdalen (oute of whom wente seuen deuyls) ³ and Ioanna the wyfe of Chusa. Herodes stewarde, and Susanna, and many other, which minystred vnto hym of theyr substaunce.

⁵ As longe as I am in the worlde. I am the lyght of the worlde. ⁶ Assone as he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made claye of the spetle, and rubbed the claye on the eyes of the blynde, ⁷ & sayd vnto him: Go, wesshe the in the pole of Siloe, which (by interpretacion) is asmoche to saye as, sent. He went his waye therfore, and wasshed, & came agayne, seinge:

³² Sence the world began was it not hearde, that eny man opened the eyes of one that was borne blynde.

³⁹ And Iesus sayd vnto him: I am come vnto iudgement into this worlde: that they which se not, myght se: and that they which se, might be made blynde.

¹⁸ to open their eyes, that they maye be turned from darckness to light, and from the power of Satan vnto God, that they maye receaue forgeuenes of synnes, and inheritaunce amonge them whych are sanctified by fayth that is toward me.
