For it is a daye of blowing vnto you. ² But ye shall offre a burntoffering for a swete sauoure vnto the Lord: one yong bullocke, one ram, and .vij. lambes of a yere olde a pece that are pure. ³ And their meatoffering shalbe made of floure mingled with oyle .iij. tenth deales vnto the bullocke, and .ij. vnto the ram: ⁴ and one tenth deale vnto one lambe thorowout the .vij. lambes. ⁵ And an hegoate for synne to make an atonement for you, ⁶ besyde the daylye burntoffering of the moneth & his meatoffering, & besyde the dayly burntofferyng & his meatofferyng, and the drynckofferinges of the same, which must be done according vnto the maner of them for a sauoure of swetnes of the sacrifyce of the Lorde.

⁷ And there ye shall eate before the Lorde youre God, & ye shall reioyse in all that ye put youre hande vnto both ye and youre housholdes, wherin the Lord thy God hath blessed the.

¹² And ye shall reioyse before the Lorde youre God, ye and youre sonnes, & youre daughters, youre seruauntes and youre maydens, and the Leuite that is wythin youre gates for asmoch as he hath no parte nor enheritaunce wyth you.

¹¹ And reioyse before the Lorde thy God, thou & thy sonne, thy daughter, thy seruaunte & thy mayde and the Leuite that is within thy gates, and the straunger, the fatherlesse & the wedowe that are amonge you, in the place whych the Lorde thy God hath chosen to put hys name there.

¹⁴ And thou shalt reioyse in that thy feast, thou and thy sonne, thy daughter, thy seruaunte, and thy mayde, the Leuite, the straunger, and the fatherlesse & the wedowe, that are wythin thy gates. ¹⁵ Seuen dayes shalt thou kepe holy daye vnto the Lorde thy God, in the place whych the Lorde shall chose: for the Lord thy God shall blesse the in all thy frutes, and in all the workes of thyne handes, therfore shalt thou be glad.

¹⁴ I haue not eaten therof in my mournynge nor suffred ought to peryshe thorowe vnclennesse, ner geuen ought therof for the deed, but haue herkened vnto the voyce of the Lorde my God, & haue done after all that thou hast commaunded me.

¹¹ And it fortuned, that whan the kynge had hearde the wordes of the boke of the lawe, he rent his clothes.

¹⁹ Because thyne herte dyd melt, and because thou hast humbled thy selfe before me the Lorde, when thou heardest what I spake agaynst thys place, and agaynst the enhabiters of the same (howe that they shulde be destroyed and acursed:) and hast rent thy clothes and wepte before me: of that also haue I hearde, sayth the Lorde.

³ And truly, for a longe season in Israel no man sought the true God, no man regarded the preste that taught them, no man cared for the lawe.

¹⁹ And it fortuned, that when the kyng had heard the wordes of the lawe, he tare his clothes:

²¹ go & enquire of the Lorde for me and for them that are left in Israel and Iuda, concerning the wordes of the boke that is found. For great is the wrath of the Lorde that is fallen vpon vs, because oure fathers haue not kepte the worde of the Lord, to do after all that is wrytten in this boke.

³ And he sayde vnto the Leuytes (that taught all Israel, and were sanctifyed vnto the Lord) put the holy arcke in the house whych Salomon the sonne of Dauid kyng of Israel, dyd buyld, there shall no other burthen be layd vpon youre shoulders: But now serue the Lorde youre God and hys people Israel.

⁶³ And Hathirsatha sayd vnto them, that they shuld not eate of the most holy, till ther rose vp a preste to weare Urim and Thumim.

⁶⁵ And Hathirsata sayd vnto them, that they shulde not eate of the moost holy, tyll there came vp a Preaste whych shulde were Urim and Thumin.

⁷⁰ And certayne of the auncyent fathers gaue vnto the worcke. Hathirsatha gaue to the treasure a thousand peces of gold, fyftie basens, fyue hundred & thirtye prestes garmentes.

² And Esdras the preast brought the lawe before the congregacion both of men and wemen, and all that coulde vnderstande dyd herken vnto it, vpon the fyrst daye of the seuenth moneth,

⁷ And Iesua, Baam, Serabiah, Iamin, Acub, Sebathai, Hadaia, Maasia, Celita, Azaria, Iozabad, Hanan, Pelaia: and the Leuites caused the people to geue hede vnto the lawe, & the people stode in their place. ⁸ And they red in the boke of the lawe of God distinctly & playnly, so that men vnderstode the thinge that was red.

¹ The sealers were: Nehemiah (that is) Hathirsatha the sonne of Hachaliah and Zedekia,

²⁶ These were in the dayes of Ioiakim the sonne of Iesua the sonne of Iosedec, and in the dayes of Nehemia the captayne, and of the preaste Esdras the scrybe.

⁴ A tyme to wepe, and a tyme to laugh: A tyme to mourne, and a tyme to daunse.

³ that I myght geue vnto them that mourne in Sion, that I myght geue I saye, bewty in the steade of ashes, ioyfull oyntement for syghthinge, pleasaunt rayment for an heuy mynde: That they myght be called trees of ryghteousnesse, a plantynge of the Lorde for hym to reioyce in.

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

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

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

⁹ But I nowe reioyce, not that ye were sory, but that ye so sorowed that ye repented. For ye sorowed godly: so that in nothynge ye were hurte by vs. ¹⁰ For godly sorowe causeth repentaunce vnto saluacyon, not to be repented of, contrary wyse, worldely sorowe causeth deeth. ¹¹ For beholde, what diligence this godly sorowe that ye toke, hath wrought in you: yee it caused you to cleare yourselues. It caused indignacyon, it caused feare, it caused desire. it caused punisshment. For in all thynges ye haue shewed your selues, that ye were cleare in that matter.

¹¹ and reioyse in all the good thynges, which the Lorde thy God hath geuen vnto the and vnto thyne house, thou and the Leuite, and the straunger that is amonge you. ¹² When thou hast made an ende of tythinge all the tythes of thyne encrease the thyrde yere, which is the yere of tythynge: thou shalt geue it vnto the Leuite, the straungers, the fatherlesse and the wedowes, that they maye eate wythin thy gates, and fyll them selues. ¹³ And thou shalt saye before the Lorde thy God. I haue brought the halowed thynges out of myne house, and haue geuen them vnto the Leuites, the straungers, the fatherlesse and the wedowes accordynge to all thy commaundmentes which thou hast commaunded me: I haue not ouerskypped thy commaundementes, nor forgotten them.

¹⁹ And therfore the Iewes that dwelt in the villages and vnwalled townes, helde the fourtenth daye of the moneth Adar, with gladnes and feastynge, and kepte holy daye, and euery one sent gyftes vnto another.

²² as the dayes wherin the Iewes came to rest from their enemyes, and as a moneth wherin their payne was turned to ioye, & their sorowe into a holy daye, & that in those dayes they shuld make feastes and gladnes, & one to sende gyftes vnto another, & to distribute vnto the poore.

¹⁶ When the poore desired any thinge at me, haue I denied it them? Haue I caused the widdowe to stande waytinge for me in vayne? ¹⁷ Haue I eaten my porcion alone, that the fatherlesse hath had no parte with me? ¹⁸ for mercy grewe vp with me fro my youth, and compassion fro my mothers wombe.

⁷ Praysed be the Lorde, for he hath hearde the voyce of myne humble peticions. ⁸ The Lorde is my strength & my shylde: my hert hath trusted in him, & I am helped: therfore my herte daunseth for ioye, and in my songe will I prayse him.

² Let Israel reioyce in him that made hym, and let the chyldren of Sion be ioyfull in their king.

²² A mery herte maketh a lusty age, but a sorowfull mynde dryeth vp the bones.

²⁴ Is it not better then for a man to eate & drynche, & his soule to be mery in his labour? Yee I sawe that thys also was a gyfte of God:

¹³ For all that a man eateth & dryncketh, yee whatsoeuer a man enioyeth of all his labour, that same is a gyfte of God.

¹⁸ Therfore me thincke it a better & as fayrer thyng, a man to eate and dryncke, and to be refreshed of all hys laboure, that he taketh vnder the Sunne all the dayes of his lyfe which God geueth hym, for this is hys porcyon.

⁷ Go thou thy waye then, eate thy bred wyth ioye, and dryncke thy wyne with a glad hart, for thy workes please God.

² Geue parte .vii. dayes, and also vpon the eyght, for thou knowest not what misery shall come vpon earth.

¹ I Am come into my garden, O my sister, my spouse: I haue gathered my Myrre with my spyce. I haue eaten hony with my hony combe, I haue dronke my wyne with my mylke. Eate, O ye frendes, dryncke and be mery, O ye beloued.

⁷ and touched my mouth, and sayde, lo: this hath touched thy lyppes, & thyne vnryghteousnes is taken awaye, & thy synne forgeuen. ⁸ Also, I herd the voyce of the Lord sayenge on this maner: Whom shall I send, and who wylbe oure messaunger? Then I sayde: here am I, sende me.

¹ So that then thou shalt saye: O Lorde, I wyll thanke the, for thou waste displeased at me, but refrayne thou from thy wrath, and comforte me. ² Behold, God is my saluacion in whom I will trust, and not be afrayde. For the Lorde God is my strength, & my songe, he also is become my saluacion. ³ Therfore with ioye shall ye drawe water out of the welles of the Sauioure,

¹ But the deserte and wildernes shall reioyce, the waste grounde shalbe glad and florysh as the lylly. ² She shall floryshe pleasauntlye, and be ioyfull, and euer be geuyng of thankes more and more. For the glory of Libanus, the bewtye of Charmel and Saron shalbe geuen her. These shall knowe the honoure of the Lorde, and the magesty of oure God. ³ And therfore strength the weake handes, and conforte the feble knees. ⁴ Saye vnto them that are of a fearefull hert. Be of good chere, and feare not. Beholde, youre God commeth to take vengeaunce: and you shall se the rewarde that God geueth: God commeth his awne selfe, & will delyuer you.

¹⁰ And therfore I am ioyfull in the Lorde, & my soule reioyseth in my God. For he hath put vpon me the garment of saluacion, & couered me with the mantle of ryghteousnes. He shall decke me lyke a brydegrome, and as a bride that hath hyr apparell vpon her.

²³ Be glad then (O ye chyldren of Syon) and reioyse in the Lorde youre God, for he hath geuen you a teacher of ryghteousnesse: & he it is that shall sende you downe shouers of rayne, early and late in the fyrst moneth:

⁴¹ Neuerthelesse, geue almose of that ye haue, and behold, all thinges are cleane vnto you.

² howe that the aboundaunce of theyr reioysynge is, that they are tryed with moche tribulacyon. And though they were exceadynge poore, yet haue they geuen exceading rychely, and that in singlenesse.

⁸ And lest I shulde be exalted out of measure thorowe the excellencye of the reuelacions: there was gyuen vnto me vnquyetnes thorowe the flesshe, euen the messenger of Satan to buffet me, because I shulde not be exalted out of measure. ⁹ For this thynge besought I the Lorde thryse, that it might departe from me.

⁴ though I myght also reioyce in the flesshe. If eny other man thynketh that he hath wherof he might trust in the flesshe: I haue more:

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,

¹⁰ And they that dwell vpon the erth, shall reioyce ouer them, and be glad, & shall sende gyftes one to another, for these two prophetes vexed them that dwelt on the erth.

³⁰ And Caleb stylled the of the people before Moses, saying: we wyll go vp, and conquerre it: for we be able to ouercome it.

¹² I will not forsake the commaundement of his lippes, but loke what he charged me with his mouth, that haue I shutt vp in my herte.

⁸ The statutes of the Lorde are right and reioyse the hert, the commaundement of the Lorde is pure, and geueth light vnto the eyes. ⁹ The feare of the Lorde is cleane, and endureth for euer: the iudgementes of the Lorde are true and ryghteous all together. ¹⁰ More to be desyred are they then golde, yee then moche fyne golde: sweter also then hony, and the hony combe. ¹¹ Moreouer, by them is thy seruaunt taught, & in kepynge of them there is greate rewarde.

¹⁴ I haue hadde as great delyte in the waye of thy testimonies, as in all maner of ryches.

¹⁶ My delyte shalbe in thy statutes, and I wyll not forget thy worde.

⁷² The lawe of thy mouth is dearer vnto me, then thousandes of golde and syluer.

⁹⁷ What loue haue I vnto thy lawe? al the daye longe is my studye in it.

¹⁰³ O how swete are thy wordes vnto my throte? Yee sweter than hony vnto my mouth. ¹⁰⁴ Thorowe thy commaundementes I get vnderstandynge, therfore I hate all wycked wayes.

¹¹¹ Thy testymonies haue I claymed as myne heritage for euer: and why? they are the very ioye of my hert.

¹²⁷ For I loue thy commaundementes aboue gold & precious stone.

¹³⁰ When thy worde goeth forth, it geueth lyght and vnderstandynge euen vnto the symple.

¹⁷¹ My lippes shall speake of thy prayse, whan thou hast taught me thy statutes.

¹⁷⁴ I haue longed for thy sauynge health, O Lord, and in thy lawe is my delite.

¹ A songe of the stayres. When the Lord turned agayne the captiuyte of Sion, then were we lyke vnto them that dreame. ² Then was oure mouth fylled with laughter, and oure tonge with ioye. ³ Then sayd they amonge the Heathen: the Lorde hath done greate thynges for them.

¹⁰ Yf wysdome entre into thyne herte, and thy soule delyte in knowledge: ¹¹ then shall councell preserue the, and vnderstandynge shall kepe the.

¹³ My sonne, thou eatest hony & the swete hony combe, because it is good & swete in thy mouth. ¹⁴ Euen so shall the knowledge of wysdome be vnto thy soule, assone as thou hast gotten it. And thow shalt haue longe dayes, yee, thy hope shall not be in vayne.

¹⁶ When I had founde thy wordes, I dyd eate them vp gredely: they haue made my herte ioyfull & glad. For thy name was called vpon me, O Lorde God of Hostes.

¹⁸ For I knowe, that in me (that is to saye in my flesshe) dwelleth no good thinge. For, to wyll is present with me: but I fynde no meanes to performe that whych is good.

²³ And the hole assemble toke councell, to do so other seuen dayes, and they helde those seuen dayes with gladnesse.

¹ My sonne, yf thou wilt receaue my wordes, and kepe my commaundementes by the, ² that thou wylt enclyne thyne eare vnto wysdome, applye thyne hert then to vnderstandynge. ³ For yf thou cryest after wisdome, and callest for knowledge: ⁴ yf thou sekest after her as after money, and dyggest for her as for treasure, ⁵ then shalt thou vnderstande the feare of the Lorde, and fynde the knowledge of God. ⁶ For it is the Lorde that geueth wisdome, out of his mouth commeth knowledge and vnderstandynge.

³³ O geue eare vnto nurtoure, be wyse, and refuse it not. ³⁴ Blessed is the man that heareth me, watchynge dayly at my gates, and geuynge attendaunce at the postes of my dores.

¹ Who so loueth wysdome, wyll be content to be refourmed: but he the hateth to be reproued, is a foole.

³³ And the people spyed them when they departed: & many knewe hym, & ranne a fote thyther out of all cyties, and cam thyther before them, and came together vnto hym. ³⁴ And Iesus went out & sawe moche people, & had compassyon on them, because they were lyke shepe, not hauinge a shepherde. And he beganne to teach them many thynges.

⁴⁷ And he taught dayly in the temple. But the hye Prestes & the scrybes and the chefe of the people went aboute to destroye hym: ⁴⁸ & coulde not fynde what to do. For all the people stacke by hym, whan they hearde hym.

¹ As they spake vnto the people, the prestes and the rulars of the temple, and the Saduces, came vpon them,

⁴² When the Iewes were gone out of the congregacyon, the Gentyls besought that they wolde preache the word to them the next Saboth.

²⁴ The seruaunt of the Lorde must not stryue: but be gentle vnto all men apte to teach, and one that can suffre ²⁵ the euyll with meaknes, and can informe them that resyst yf that God at eny tyme wyll geue them repentaunce, for to knowe the trueth:

¹⁷ And Iacob toke hys iourney towarde Sucoth, and buylt hym an house, and made boothes for his catell. And therfore is it, that the name of the place is called Sucoth.

³⁴ speake vnto the chyldren of Israel, and saye: the fyftenth daye of the same seuenth moneth is the feast of tabernacles, seuen dayes vnto the Lord.

⁴⁰ And ye shall take you in the fyrst daye, the frutes of goodly trees, braunches of palme trees, and the bowes of thycke trees, and wyllowes of the brooke, and shall reioyse before the Lord your God seuen dayes. ⁴¹ And ye shall kepe this feast vnto the Lorde seuen dayes in the yeare. It shalbe a lawe for euer in youre generacyons, that ye kepe it in the seuenth moneth. ⁴² Ye shall dwell in boothes seuen dayes: euen all that are Israelites borne, shall dwell in boothes, ⁴³ that youre chyldren after you maye knowe, howe that I made the chyldren of Israel to dwell in boothes, when I brought them out of the lande of Egypt: I am the Lord youre God.

¹³ Thou shalt also obserue the feast of tabernacles seuen dayes, after that thou hast gethered in thy corne and thy wyne.

¹⁶ Euery one that remayneth then of all the people, which cam agaynst Ierusalem, shall go vp yerly, to worshyppe the kynge (euen the Lorde of hostes) and to kepe the feast of tabernacles. ¹⁷ And loke what generacion vpon the earth goeth vp to Ierusalem for to worshyp the kynge (euen the Lorde of hostes) vpon the same shall come no rayne. ¹⁸ Yf the kynred of Egypte go not vp, & come not, it shall not rayne vpon them nether. This shalbe the plage wher wt the Lorde wil smyte all the Heathen, that come not vp to kepe the feast of tabernacles: ¹⁹ yee, this shalbe the synne plage of Egipt & the sinne plage of al people that go not vp to kepe the feast of tabernacles.

² The Iewes feast of tabernacles was at hande.

¹¹ And the doue came to hym in the euen tyde, and lo, in her mouthe was an oliue leaf that she had pluct, wherby Noah did knowe, that the waters were abated vpon the earth.

⁴ These are the feastes of the Lorde, euen holy conuocacyons, whyche ye shall proclayme in their ceasons.

⁴⁰ And ye shall take you in the fyrst daye, the frutes of goodly trees, braunches of palme trees, and the bowes of thycke trees, and wyllowes of the brooke, and shall reioyse before the Lord your God seuen dayes.

¹⁶ Thre tymes in the yere shall all thy males appeare before the Lorde thy God, in the place which he shall chose: In the feast of swete bread, in the feast of wekes, & in the feast of tabernacles. And they shall not appeare before the Lorde empty

⁴⁸ & Abimelech gat him to mount Zelmon, bothe he & all the people that were wt him, & toke axes wt him and cut downe bowes of trees, & toke them & bare them on his shulder, & sayde vnto the folcke that were with hym what ye haue sene me do, spede youre selues, and do lykewyse as I haue done. ⁴⁹ And all the men that were among the people, cut downe bowes, and folowed Abimelech, and put them into the holde, and sett the holde a fier by them: so that all the men of the tower of Sichem were slayne, vpon a thousande men and wemen.

¹ And whan they drew nye vnto Ierusalem, and were come to Bethphage, vnto mounte Olyuete: then sent Iesus two discyples,

¹³ toke braunches of palme trees, and went forth to mete hym, and cryed: Hosanna, blessed is he that in the name of the Lorde, commeth Kyng of Israell.

⁹ After this I behelde, & lo, a gret multitude (which noman coulde nombre) of all nacyons & people, & tonges, stode before the seate, & before the lambe, clothed with longe white garmentes, & palmes in their handes,

⁸ When thou byldest a newe house, thou shalt make a batelment on the rouffe, that thou lade not bloude vpon thyne house, yf any man fall therof.

² And it chaunced in an euenynge, that Dauid arose out of hys bed, and walked vpon the roufe of the kynges palace, and from the roufe he sawe a woman wasshynge her selfe: and the woman was very bewtyfull to loke vpon.

¹³ And Iehoas kinge of Israel toke Amaziahu king of Iuda, the sonne of Iehoas the sonne of Ahaziahu, at Bethsames, and came to Ierusalem & brake downe the wall of Ierusalem from the gate of Ephraim to the corner gate, foure hundred cubytes.

⁵ And Iehosaphat stode betwene the congregacion of Iuda and Ierusalem in the house of the Lorde before the newe courte,

⁵ And he buylded aulters for all the hoost of heauen, in the two courtes of the house of the Lorde.

¹ And all the people geathered them selues together as one man in the strete that was before the watergate, and they sayde vnto Esdras the scrybe, that he shulde fetch the boke of the lawe of Moses, whych the Lorde commaunded to Israel.

³ and he red therin in the strete that was before the watergate (from the mornynge vntyll the noone daye) before men and wemen that dyd herken to it: and the eares of all the people were inclyned vnto the booke of the lawe.

³⁹ and beyonde the porte of Ephraim, & beyonde the Oldgate, beyonde the fyshgate, and the tower of Hananeel, and the tower of Mea, vntyll the Shepegate. And they stode styll in the presongate,

¹³ (For the houses of Ierusalem and the houses of the kynges of Iuda shalbe defyled, lyke as Topheth) because of all the houses, in whose parlers they dyd sacryfyce vnto all the hooste of heauen and powred drinke offeringes vnto straunge goddes.

²⁹ For the Chaldees shall come, and wynne thys citye, and sett fyer vpon it, and burne it: with the gorgeouse houses, in whose parlers they haue made sacrifyce vnto Baal, and powred drynckofferynges vnto straunge Goddes, to prouoke me vnto wrath.

¹ After the death of Moses the seruaunt of the Lorde, it happened also that the Lorde spake vnto Iosua the sonne of Nun Moses minister saying:

²² & dyd eate & dryncke before the Lorde the same daye wt greate gladnesse. And they made Salomon the sonne of Dauid kynge the seconde tyme, and annoynted him prynce before the Lorde, and Zadock to be the hye preaste.

⁸ So at the same tyme Salomon kepte a feast of seuen dayes, and all they of Israel with him, an exceadynge great congregacyon, euen from the entringe in of Hamath, vnto the ryuer of Egypt. ⁹ And in the eyght daye they made a gatheringe. For they kepte the dedicacyon of the aulter seuen dayes, and the feast seuen dayes. ¹⁰ And the .xxiij. daye of the seuenth moneth, he let the people departe into their tentes glad and merye in hert, for the goodnesse that the Lorde had shewed to Dauid, and to Salomon, and to Israel his people.

¹³ doyng euery thynge in his due tyme and offerynge accordynge to the commaundement of Moses, in the sabbothes, newmoones, and solempne feastes, thre tymes in the yeare, that is to saye, in the feast of swete bread, in the feast of weakes, and in the feast of tabernacles.

²¹ And the chyldren of Israel that were present at Ierusalem, helde the feast of swete bread seuen dayes with great gladnesse, and the Leuites and the preastes praysed, and magnifyed the power of the Lorde daye by daye, vpon instrumentes. ²² And Hezekia spake hertely vnto all the Leuites that had vnderstandyng and were of a good mynde toward the Lorde. And they dyd eate thorowe out that feast, seuen dayes longe, & offered peaceofferynges, & thanked the Lorde God of theyr fathers. ²³ And the hole assemble toke councell, to do so other seuen dayes, and they helde those seuen dayes with gladnesse.

²⁶ & there was great gladnesse in Ierusalem. For sence the tyme of Salomon the sonne of Dauid kynge of Israel there was no soche ioye in Ierusalem.

¹⁸ And ther was no Passeouer lyke to that kepte in Israel from the dayes of Samuel the prophete: nether dyd all the kynges of Israel hold soch a Passeouer feast as dyd Iosia and the preastes and Leuites and all Iuda, and Israel that were present, and the enhabiters of Ierusalem.

⁴ And they helde the feaste of tabernacles as it is writen, & offered burnt sacrifices dayly, acording to the nombre & custome, daye by daye.

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

⁸ For yf Iosue had geuen them rest, then wolde he not afterwarde haue spoken of another daye.

⁹ By fayth he remoued into the lande of promes, as into a straunge countre, whan he had dwelt in tabernacles: & so dyd Isaac & Iacob heyres wt hym of the same promes.

¹³ These all dyed accordinge to fayth, whan they had not receaued the promises: but sawe them a farre of, and beleued them, & saluted them, and confessed, that they were straungers and pilgrems on the erthe.

³⁶ Seuen dayes ye shall offer sacryfyce vnto the Lord, and in the eyght daye shalbe an holy conuocacyon vnto you, and ye shall offer sacryfyces vnto the Lorde. It is the colleccyon, and ye shall do no laborious worke therin.

³⁵ In the eight daye, ye shall haue a colleccyon of the feaste vnto you, and ye shall do no seruile worcke therin.

³⁷ In the last daye, that great daye of the feast Iesus stode, and cryed, sayinge: If eny man thyrst, lett him come vnto me, & drincke.
