And the Lord hath sayd to the: thou shalt fede my people Israel, and thou shalt be a captayne ouer Israel. ³ And so all the elders of Israell came to the kynge to Hebron. And Kynge Dauid made a couenaunt wyth them in Hebron before the Lord. And they anoynted Dauid Kynge ouer Israell. ⁴ Dauid was thyrtye yeare olde when he began to raygne, and he raygned fourty yeare. ⁵ In Hebron he raygned ouer Iuda seuen yere & syxe monethes. And in Ierusalem he raygned thyrtye & thre yeares ouer all Israell and Iuda. ⁶ Then went the Kynge and hys men to Ierusalem, vnto the Iebusytes the enhabyters of the lande. And they sayde vnto Dauid: excepte thou take awaye the blynde & the lame thou shalt not come in hyther, meanyng therby that Dauid shulde not haue come in thyther. ⁷ Neuerthelesse Dauid toke the holde of Syon, which is in the cytye of Dauid. ⁸ Then sayde Dauid the same day. Whosoeuer wynneth the walles and the lame & the blinde hated of Dauids soule. Wherfore the blynd & the lame shall not come into the house. ⁹ And Dauid dwelte in the toure and called it the cytye of Dauid. And Dauid buylt round aboute it from Mello inwarde. ¹⁰ And Dauid waxed great and the Lorde God of hostes was with him. ¹¹ And Hiram Kynge of Tyre sent messengers to Dauid wyth Cedar trees and carpenters & Masons, to buyld Dauid an house. ¹² Wherby Dauid perceyued that the Lord had stablished him Kynge ouer Israel, and had exalted his kingdom for his people Israels sake. ¹³ And Dauid toke hym mo concubynes and wyues out of Ierusalem, after he was come from Hebron, and mo sonnes and doughters were yet borne to Dauid. ¹⁴ And these be the names of the sonnes that were borne hym in Ierusalem: Samua, Sobab, Nathan, Salamon, ¹⁵ Iebahar, Elisua, Nepheg, Iaphia, ¹⁶ Elisama, Eliada, & Eliphalet. ¹⁷ But when the Philistines heard that they had anoynted Dauid King ouer Israel, they came al vp to seke Dauid. And as sone as Dauid hearde of it, he gat hym to an hold. ¹⁸ And the Philistines came and layd them a long in the valeye of Raphaim. ¹⁹ And Dauid asked of the Lorde sayinge: shal I go to the Philistines? & wilt thou delyuer them into my handes? And the Lorde sayde vnto Dauid: go for I wyll delyuer the Philistines into thy handes. ²⁰ And Dauid cam to Baal Pharazim & smote them there & sayd: the Lorde hath deuyded myne enemyes a sondre before me, as a man wold deuyde water. And therfore he called the name of the sayd place, Baal Pharazim. ²¹ And there they lefte theyr Images and Dauid & his men toke them vp. ²² And the Philistines came yet agayne & layde them in the valeye Raphaim. ²³ And Dauid asked the Lorde, & he sayd go not But compasse them on the backsyde & come vpon them from the Peretrees. ²⁴ And when thou hearest the noyse of a thyng goyng in the toppes of the Peretrees, then moue. For then the Lord is gone out before the, to smyte the host of the Philistines. ²⁵ And Dauid dyd as the Lord commaunded hym and smote the Philistines from Gabaah to Gezer.

¹ After that, Dauid bette the Philistines and subdued them and toke the brydell of bondage oute of theyr haudes. ² And he bette the Moabytes, and measured them wyth a lyne makynge them lye a longe on the earth, and then meatynge the length of .ij. lynes to sley, and the length of one lyne to saue a lyue. And so became the Moabites Dauids seruauntes & payde trybute. ³ Dauid smote also Adadezer the sonne of Rehob kynge of Zobah as he went to make the ende of hys coastes at the ryuer Euphrates. ⁴ And Dauid toke a thousande and seuen hundred horsemen of hys, and twentye thousand fote men & destroied all hys charettes reseruynge one hundred of them. ⁵ Then came the Syryans of Damascon to succour Adadezer kyng of Zobah. And Dauid slue of them two and twentye thousande men ⁶ and put soudyours in Syra Damascon. And the Syryans became seruauntes to Dauid, payeng trybute. And thus the Lord saued Dauid in all that he went to. ⁷ And Dauid toke the shyldes of golde that were vpon the seruauntes of Adadezer and broughte them to Ierusalem. ⁸ And therto out of Betah & Berathai cyties of Adadezer he broughte excedynge great aboundaunce of brasse. ⁹ When Thoi Kyng of Hemath had hearde how Dauid had discomforted all the hoste of Adadezer, ¹⁰ he sent Ioram hys sonne vnto king Dauid to salute hym wyth peace & to blesse hym because he had fought against Adadezer and beaten hym, for Thoi kepte warre wyth Adadezer, which sonne brought vessels of syluer, golde, and of brasse wyth him. ¹¹ And them also kynge Dauid dyd dedicate vnto the Lorde wyth the syluer and gold that he consecrated of all nacyons whiche he subdued: ¹² of the Syryans, the Moabytes, the chyldren of Ammon the Phylystines, the Amaleckites, and of the spoyle of Adadezer sonne of Rehob kynge of Zobah. ¹³ And Dauid made hym a name after he returned from the slaughter of the Syryans in the valey of Salt where he slew .xviij. thousand men. ¹⁴ And he put kepers in Edom, euen thorow oute al Edom put he soudyars and al Edom became hys seruauntes. And the Lorde kepte Dauid whatsoeuer he toke in hand. ¹⁵ And Dauid raygned ouer all Israel, and executed ryght and iustice vnto all hys people. ¹⁶ And Ioab the sonne of Zaruiah was ouer the host and Iehosaphat the sonne of Ahilud was recorder. ¹⁷ And Sadoch the sonne of Ahitob and Ahimelech the sonne of Abiathar were the Priestes, and Saraiah was the Scrybe. ¹⁸ And Banaiah the sonne of Iehoiada was ouer the Cerethites and the Phelethytes, and Dauids sonnes were chefe rulars.

¹ It happened after this, that the kynge of the chyldren of Amnon dyed, & Hanon his sonne raygned in hys steade. ² Then sayde Dauid: I wyl shew kyndnesse vnto Hanon the sonne of Nahas, as hys father shewed kyndnesse vnto me. And thervpon Dauid sente to conforte hym by the hande of hys seruauntes ouer the death of hys father. Now when Dauids seruauntes were come into the land of the chyldren of Amnon: ³ the Lordes of the chyldren of Amnon sayde vnto Hanon theyr Lorde: thynkest thou that Dauid doth honoure thy father, because he hath sent to comfort the? Naye, he hath rather sent hys seruauntes vnto the, to searche the cytye and to spye out, euen to ouerthrow it. ⁴ Wherfore Hanon toke Dauids seruauntes and shaued of the one halfe of euerye mannes bearde & cut of theyr garmentes euen in the myddle, euen harde by the buttockes of them and sent them awaye. ⁵ When it was tolde Dauid he sent against them (for they were men excedyngly ashamed) & saide: tarye at Iericho vntyll your beerdes be growen, & then returne. ⁶ And when the chyldren of Amnon sawe that they stancke vnto Dauid, they sent & hyred the sonnes of Bethrehob & of the Syryans of Zobah .xx. thousande fote men & of kyng Maacah a thousande men, & of Istob twelue thousande men. ⁷ And when Dauid hearde of it, he sent Ioab & all the host of strong men. ⁸ And the chyldren of Amnon came out & waged battell before the gate & the Syryens of Zobah, of Rehob, Istob and Maacah were by themselues in the feldes. ⁹ When Ioab sawe that the front of the battell was before and after, he chose of all the best of Israell & put them in araye agaynst the Syryens. ¹⁰ And the rest of the people he delyuered into the hand of Abisai his brother, which put them in araye agaynst the children of Amnon. ¹¹ And he sayd: yf the Syryens ouercome me, then succoure me. But yf the chyldren of Amnon be to good for the, I wyll come and succoure the, ¹² quyte the lyke a man, and let vs fyght lustely for oure people, & for the cytyes of our God. And the Lorde do what semyth best in hys eyes. ¹³ And forthwyth Ioab proceded & the people that was with him into battell against the Syryens, which fleed before him. ¹⁴ And when the chyldren of Amnon saw that the Syriens were fled, then fled they also before Abisai, and entred into the cytye. And so Ioab returned from the chyldren of Amnon & came to Ierusalem. ¹⁵ And when the Syryens sawe that they were put to the worsse before Israel, they gathered them together. ¹⁶ And Hadadezer sente & brought out the Syryens that were beyound the ryuer. And the host of them came, & Sobah the captayne of the host of Hadadezer before them. ¹⁷ And when it was shewed Dauid, he gathered all Israell, and passed ouer Iordan and came to Helom: where the Syryans put them selues in araye agaynste Dauid and foughte wyth hym: ¹⁸ howe be it the Syryens fled before Israel. And Dauid destroyed seuen hundred charettes of them and fourtye thousand horsmen and smote Sobah the captayne of hys hoste, that he there dyed. ¹⁹ And when all the Kynges that were seruauntes to Hadadezer sawe that they were put to the worsse before Israel, they made peace wyth them, & serued them. And so the Syryens feared to helpe the chyldren of Amnon any more.

¹⁰ Now therfore the swerd shal neuer depart from thyne house, because (saythe the Lorde) thou hast despysed me, and taken the wyfe of Vrias the Aethite, to be thy wyfe.

¹ And it chaunsed that Absalom Dauids sonne had a fayre sister named Thamar, whom afterwarde Amnon another sonne of Dauid loued. ² And this Amnon was so vexed that he fell sicke for the loue of his sister Thamar: for it thought him harde to come by his purpose of her, seyng she was yet a virgyn. ³ But Amnon had a companyon called Ionadab the sonne of Samah the brother of Dauid: which Ionadab was a very wyse man. ⁴ And he said vnto him: howe cometh it that thou beynge the kynges sonne arte thus consumed euery mornynge? maiest thou not tell it me? And Amnon aunswered him: I loue Thamar my brother Absaloms sister. ⁵ Then sayde Ionadab vnto him: lye on thy bedde & fayne thy selfe sicke. And when thy father is come to se the, saye vnto hym: let my sister Thamar come & geue me meate, & dresse it in my sight, that I maye se it and eate it of her hande. ⁶ And Amnon laye doune & made hym selfe sicke. And when the king was come to se hym Ammon said vnto him: let Thamar my syster come & make me a couple of frytters in my syght, that I maye eat of her hande. ⁷ And Dauid sent home to Thamar sayinge: go to thy brother Amnons house and dresse him meate. ⁸ When Thamar came to her brother Amnons house he laye. And she toke flour & made past & made frytters in hys sight, & dyd bake them, ⁹ & toke a platter & powred them out before hym. And Amnon wolde not eate, ¹⁰ but commaunded to haue out all men from hym. And they went all out from hym. Then sayde Amnon vnto Thamar: bryng the meat into the chambre that I maye eate of thyne hand. And Thamar toke the frytters which she had made, & broughte them into the chambre to Amnon her brother ¹¹ & set them before hym to eate. And he toke her & said vnto her: come lye wt me my sister. ¹² And she aunswered him: naye, my brother do not force me, for it ought not to be so in Israel do not this follye. ¹³ For whether shal I go with my shame? And thou shalt be as one of the foles in Israel. But speake vnto the kynge & he shall not denye me vnto the. ¹⁴ Howe be it he wolde not herken vnto her voyce, but was to strong for her & forced her & laye wyth her. ¹⁵ And then Amnon hated her excedynglye: so that the hate wherewyth he hated her, was greater then the loue with which he before loued her. And he sayd vnto her: vp & away. ¹⁶ Then she sayde vnto him: this greate cruelnesse that thou puttest me awaye, passeth the other that thou dyddest vnto me. Neuerthelesse he wolde not heare her, ¹⁷ but called his lad that wayted vpon him, & said: put her out at the dores from me & bolt the dore after her. ¹⁸ And she had a kirtell of dyuerse colours vpon her: for with such were the kynges doughters that were virgins apparelled, made strayt vnto them. Then his seruaunt brought her oute at the dores, & locked the dores after her. ¹⁹ And Thamar put asshes on her head and rent her gaye kyrtell that was on her, & put her hande on her head & so went, & as she wente, cryed. ²⁰ Then Absalom her brother sayd vnto her: hath Amnon, thy brother bene with the? Now then be styll my syster: for he is thy brother. And let not this thynge greue thyne herte. And so Thamar remayned discomforted in her brother Absaloms house. ²¹ And Kyng Dauid heard of all these thynges, & was very wroth. ²² And Absalom sayde vnto hys brother Amnon neyther good nor bad. Howe be it Absalom hated Amnon, because he had forced his syster Thamar. ²³ And it happened two yeare after that Absalom had a shepesheryng in Baal Hazor besydes the trybe of Ephraim, & bad all the kynges sonnes, ²⁴ & he came to the kinge & saide: beholde thy seruaunt hath a shepesheryng, let the kyng & hys seruauntes come with thy seruaunt. ²⁵ And the kyng sayd vnto Absalom: Oh nay my sonne, let vs not go euerye one of vs that we be not chargeable vnto the. And Absalom laye sore vpon hym: howe be it he wolde not go, but blessed hym. ²⁶ Then sayd Absalom: then let my brother Amnon go wyth vs. And the kynge aunswered what nedeth it that he go with the ²⁷ But Absalom made such instaunce that he let Amnon go wyth hym, & al the kynges chyldren. ²⁸ Then Absalom commaunded hys younge men sayinge: marke when Amnons herte is mery wyth wyne, & when I byd you smyte Amnon then kyll him: feare not, for it is I that byd you, be bolde therfore, & playe the lustye bloudes. ²⁹ And the young men of Absalom serued Amnon euen as Absalom commaunded them. And al the kynges sonnes arose & toke eche man hys Mule & fled. ³⁰ And whyle they were yet in the waye, tydynges came to Dauid that Absalom had slayne all the kynges sonnes, so that none was left a lyue. ³¹ Then the king arose, & tare his garmentes, & laye a longe on the earth: & all hys seruauntes stode by wyth theyr clothes rent. ³² Then Ionadab the sonne of Samah Dauids brother aunswered & sayd: let not my Lorde suppose that they haue slayne all the younge men the kynges sonnes, saue Amnon onelye is dead. For that hath ben euer in Absaloms mouthe sence he forced his sister Thamar. ³³ Now therfore let not my Lorde the kynge take the thyng so greuouslye to thinck that all the kynges sonnes were deade, when Amnon onelye is dead. ³⁴ But Absalom fled. And the younge man that kepe the watche, lyfte vp hys eyes and loked aboute. And beholde there came much people by a waye that was behynde his backe a long by an hylles syde. ³⁵ Then sayd Ionadab vnto the kynge: beholde, the kynges sonnes are come, and as thy seruaunt sayde, so it is. ³⁶ And as sone as he had lefte speakyng: behold, the kinges sonnes came and lyfte vp theyr voyces, & wept. And therto the kynge and all hys seruauntes wept excedynglye. ³⁷ But Absalom escaped and went to Tholmai the sonne of Amihud kynge of Gesur. And the kynge mourned for hys sonne contynually. ³⁸ And so Absalom escaped and went to Gesur, & was there thre yeares. ³⁹ And by that tyme the kynge turned hys mynde from pursuynge Absalom. For he had lefte mournynge for the death of Amnon.

¹ And when Dauid was a lytle past the toppe of the hyll: behold Ziba the seruaunt of Miphiboseth came agaynste hym with a couple of Asses sadelled, & vpon them two hundred loues and one hundred bonches of Resynges, and an hundred frayles of dryed fygges, & a bottell of wyne. ² Then sayde the kynge to Ziba: what hast thou there? And Ziba sayde: Asses for the Kynges houshold to ryde on, and bread & frute for the young men to eate, and wyne to drincke, yf any man fainte in the wyldernesse. ³ Then sayde the kynge: where is thy maysters sonne? and Ziba sayd vnto the kyng: beholde, he taryeth styll at Ierusalem. For he sayde: thys daye shall the house of Israell restore me the kyngdome of my father. ⁴ Then sayd the kynge to Ziba: beholde, thyne are all that pertayned vnto Miphiboseth. And Ziba aunswered: I beseche the that I maye fyude grace in thy syghte my Lorde Kynge. ⁵ And when Kynge Dauid came to Baharim: beholde, thence came out a man of the kinrede of the house of Saul named Semei, the sonne of Gera, and he came out cursyng. ⁶ And therto he cast stones at Dauid and at all the seruauntes of Kynge Dauid, all the people & al the men of warre goyng part on his right hand, and part on hys lefte. ⁷ And thus sayde this Semei as he cursed: come forthe, come forthe thou bloudesheder and thou vnthriftye man. ⁸ The lord hath brought vpon the all the bloude of the house of Saul, in whose stede thou hast raygned, and he hathe delyuered the kyngedome into the hand of Absalom thy sonne. And thou art wrapped aboute wt thyne owne myscheue, because thou arte a bloudesheder. ⁹ Then sayde Abisai the sonne of Zaruiah vnto the kynge: why dothe this deade dogge curse my Lorde the Kyng? let me go and take of the head of hym. ¹⁰ And the King sayde: what haue I to do with you ye sonnes of Zaruiah? let him curse: for the Lorde hath bydden him curse Dauid. And who dare presume to saye wherfore dothe he so? ¹¹ And Dauid sayde to Abisai, and to all his seruauntes: beholde, my sonne whyche came out of mine owne bowelles seketh my life. How muche more then may thys sonne of Iemini do it? Suffre hym therfore to curse, for the Lorde hath bidden hym: ¹² haplye the Lorde wyl loke on my wretchednesse, and do me good for hys cursynge thys daye. ¹³ And thus as Dauid and hys men went by the waye, Semei went a longe on the hylles syde ouer agaynste hym, and cursed as he went, and threwe stones at him, and cast dust. ¹⁴ And the Kynge and all that were wyth hym, came werye, and refresshed them selues there. ¹⁵ And Absalom and al the people of the men of Israel came to Ierusalem and Ahithophel with hym. ¹⁶ And as sone as he was come, Husai the Arachite went vnto Absalom and said vnto hym: God saue the Kinge, God saue the kynge. ¹⁷ And Absalom sayde agayne to Husai: is thys the kindnesse thou owest to thy frend? Why wentest thou not with him? ¹⁸ And Husai said vnto Absalom: naye not so, but whom the Lorde and thys people and al the men of Israel chose, his wil I be, and wyth hym wil I dwel. ¹⁹ And forthermore vnto whome shall I do seruice, but euen to his sonne? And as I was seruaunt before wyth thy father, euen so shall I be with the. ²⁰ Then spake Absalom to Ahithophell: geue counsel, what is best for vs to do? ²¹ And Ahithophell sayde vnto Absalom: get the in vnto thy fathers concubines, whiche he hath lefte to kepe the house. For when all Israell shall heare, that thou hast made thy father to styncke, then shall the handes of all that are with the, be stronge. ²² And so they pitched Absalom a tent vpon the toppe of the house. And he went in vnto his fathers concubynes in the syght of al Israel. ²³ And the councell of Ahithophel whiche he counceled in those dayes, was a man had asked counsel of God: euen so was al the counsel of Ahithophel, bothe vnto Dauid and also vnto Absalom.

¹ Then Ahithophel sayd vnto Absalom: let me chose out, I pray the, twelue thousand men. And I will vp and folowe after Dauid by night. ² And I wil come vpon hym whyle he is werye and weake handed, and will feare him, that all the people that are wt hym shal flee. And so wyl I smyte the kinge onlye, ³ and wyl brynge agayne al the people vnto the. And when al these men whyche thou sekest, are turned to the, and al the people shal haue rest.

⁶ When the vnthriftye men are all of them as thornes taken out of their places, whiche can not be taken with handes:

⁶³ And the peace offerynges that Salomon offered vnto the Lorde, were .xxij. thousand oxen & an hundred and twentye thousande shepe. And so the kynge and al the chyldren of Israel dedicated the house of the Lorde. ⁶⁴ And the same daye the kynge halowed the mydle of the courte that is before the house of the Lord: for there he offered burntofferynges & meateofferynges, & the fat of the peaceofferynges, because the brasen aultare that was before the Lord, was to lytle to receyue the burntofferynges & meate offerynges, and the fat of the peaceofferynges.

⁶⁶ And the .viij. daye he sente the people awaye. And they blessed the kynge and went vnto theyr tentes ioyouse & glad in herte for all the goodnesse that the Lord had shewed vnto Dauid hys seruaunt and to Israell hys people.

²¹ And Eliah came vnto all the people and sayde: why halte ye betwene two opinions? Yf the Lorde be very God, folowe him: or yf Baal be he, then folowe hym. And the people answered him not one worde.

³⁹ And when all the people sawe that, they fel on theyr faces & sayde: the Lorde he is God, the lord he is God.

¹⁸ And the spirite came vpon Amasai a captayne ouer .xxx. and he sayde, thyne are we Dauid, and on thy syde thou sonne of Iesai peace be wt the, and peace be with thine helpers, for thy God helpeth the. Then Dauid receyued them and made them heades of companyes of the men of warre.

¹⁰ And Dauid asked God saying: shall I go agaynst the Philistines & wylt thou delyuer them into myne handes? And the Lorde sayde to hym: go, for I wyll delyuer them into thyne hande. ¹¹ And when they were come as ferre as Baal Pharazim, Dauid bett them there. And Dauid sayde: God hathe deuyded myne enemyes with myne hande as a man wol deuyde water. And therfore they called the name of the sayde place Baal Pharazim.

¹⁴ Then Dauid asked God: And God sayde to hym: go not after them, but turne awaye from them, & come vpon them strayght from the peere trees. ¹⁵ And when thou hearest a sounde go in the toppes of the peeretres, then go out to battell: for God will go out before the to smyte the hoste of the Philistines. ¹⁶ And Dauid dyd as God commaunded hym. And they smote the hoste of the Philistines all the waye from Gabaon to Gazer.

⁸ Thanke the lord, cal on his name, make his Actes knowen amonge the people.

³⁴ Thanke the Lorde for he is good, and his mercye lasteth euer:

¹⁰ When Ioab sawe that the fronte of the battel was before hym and after, he chose out of all the youth of Israel, and put them in aray agaynst the Sirians.

²¹ And they offered offerynges vnto the Lorde. And on the morowe after the sayde daye, they offered in burntofferynges vnto the Lord a thousand oxen, a thousand rammes & a thousand lambes with their drynckeofferynges. An they slue plenteouslye thorowout all Israel,

¹¹ And Asa cryed vnto the Lorde his God and sayd: lord it is all one wyth the to helpe them that haue no power, with few or with many: helpe vs O Lorde oure God, for we truste to the, & in thine name be come agaynst thys multitude. Thou arte the Lorde oure God, let not man preuayle agaynst the. ¹² And the Lord smote the blacke Mores before Asa & Iuda, that they fled.

⁷ At that same tyme Hanani the sear, came to Asa kyng of Iuda & sayde to hym: because thou trustest in the king of Siria, and trustest not in the Lorde thy God therfore is the host of the kynge of Siria escaped oute of thyne hande. ⁸ Were not the blacke Mores, and they of Libya a great host wyth exceading many charettes and horsemen? And yet because thou trustedest in the Lorde, he delyuered them into thyne handes. ⁹ For the eyes of the Lorde beholde all the earthe, to strength the hertes of them that are hole with him. Herin thou hast done folyshly, and therfore from henceforth thou shalt haue warre.

¹⁷ Moreouer it belongeth not to you for to fight in this quarell: but stepe forth and stande and behold the helpe of the Lorde whiche is wyth you: feare not, nor let youre hartes fayle you, O ye of Iuda and of Ierusalem. To morow go out to them: for the Lorde is with you. ¹⁸ And Iehosaphat bowed hym self with his face to the citie, & al Iuda and the enhabiters of Ierusalem fell before the Lorde, to bowe them selues vnto the Lorde. ¹⁹ And the Leuites and the children of the Cahathites & of the Corathites stode vp, to prayse the Lorde God of Israel with a loud voyce on hye. ²⁰ And so they arose erlye in the mornyng, and get them out vnto the wyldernesse of Tekua. And as they went out, Iehosaphat stode and sayde: heare me Iuda, and ye enhabyters of Ierusalem. Beleue in the Lorde youre God, and so shall ye continue: and beleue his prophetes & so shall ye prospere. ²¹ And he gaue the people counsell, & set the syngers of the Lorde, & them that praysed in holy apparel, to go out before the army and to saye: prayse the Lorde, for hys mercye lasteth euer. ²² And what tyme they beganne to laude & praise, then the Lord set laiers awaite agaynste the children of Ammon and Moab and mounte Seir, to destroye them vtterly & to wype them out.

²⁶ And the fourth daye they assembled in the valeye of blessynge, for there they blessed the Lord. And therfore they called the name of the sayd place the valeie of blessynge vnto thys daye. ²⁷ And also the men of Iuda and Ierusalem returned & Iehosaphat amonge the thyckest of them, for to go again to Ierusalem wyth gladnesse: for the Lorde hath made them to reioyse of their enemyes. ²⁸ And they came to Ierusalem wyth psalteries & harpes and trompettes, euen vnto the house of the Lorde.

⁷ For it was thrust into Ohoziah of God to go to Iehoram, & that when he was come, he should go out wt Iehoram against Iehu the sonne of Namsi, whome the Lorde had annoynted to destroy the house of Ahab. ⁸ And as Iehu was executinge iustice vpon the house of Ahab. He founde the Lordes of Iuda, and the sonnes of the brethren of Ohoziah that wayted on Ohoziah, and he slue them.

¹¹ And they sange together, geuynge prayse and thankes vnto the Lorde, because he is gracyous, and because hys mercy endureth for euer vpon Israel. And all the people shouted loude in praysing the Lorde, because the foundacyon of the house of the Lorde was layd.

¹⁰ Therfore sayde he vnto them: go youre waye, and eate the fat, and dryncke the swete, and sende parte vnto them also that haue not prepared them selues: for this daye is holye vnto our Lorde, be not ye sory therfore: for the ioye of the Lorde is youre strength.

¹⁶ but vnto the Iewes there was come light & gladnesse, & ioye & worshyppe.

⁹ which doeth thinges, that are vnsearcheable, and marueles without nombre:

¹⁷ Beholde, happye is the man, whom God punisheth: therfore, despyse not thou the chastenynge of the Almyghty. ¹⁸ For though he make a wound, he geueth a medicine againe: though he smyte, hys hande maketh whole agayne.

¹⁶ he roundeth them in the eares, he infourmeth them, and sheweth them playnelye, ¹⁷ that it is he, which wythdraweth man from euyll, delyuereth hym from pryde, ¹⁸ kepeth hys soule from destruccyon, and his life from the swearde. ¹⁹ He chasteneth hym wyth sycknesse, and bryngeth hym to hys bedde: he layeth sore punyshment vpon hys bones, ²⁰ so that hys lyfe maye awaye wyth no bread, & hys soule abhorreth to eate anye dayntye meate. ²¹ In so muche that hys body is cleane consumed awaye, and hys bones apeare no more. ²² Hys soule draweth on to destruccyon, & hys lyfe to death. ²³ Nowe yf there be a messenger (one amonge a thousande) sent for to speake vnto man, and to shewe hym the ryght waye: ²⁴ then the Lorde is mercyfull vnto hym, & sayeth: He shalbe delyuered, that he fall not doune to destruccyon, for I am suffycyentlye reconcyled. ²⁵ Then hys fleshe (which hath bene in myserye and trouble) shalbe as it was in hys youth. ²⁶ For yf he submytte hym self vnto God he is gracyous, and sheweth hym his countenaunce ioyfully, and rewardeth man for hys ryghtuousnes. ²⁷ Suche a respecte hath he vnto men. Therfore let a man confesse (and saye) I offended, but he hath chastened and reformed me: I dyd vnryghteouslye, neuerthelesse he hath not recompensed me thereafter. ²⁸ Yea he hath delyuered my soule from destruccyon, and my lyfe, that it seeth the lyght. ²⁹ Lo, thus worcketh God alwaye wyth man, ³⁰ that he kepeth hys soule from peryshynge, and letteth hym enioye the lyghte of the lyuyng.

⁵ For in death no man remembreth the: Oh who wyll geue the thankes in the hell?

⁹ O Lorde our gouernoure, how wonderfull is thy name in all the worlde?

¹³ Haue mercy vpon me (O Lord) considre the trouble that I am in amonge myne enemyes, thou that liftest me vp from the gates of death. ¹⁴ That I maye shewe all thy prayses within the portes of the daughter of Sion, and reioyse in thy sauynge health.

² The Lorde is my succour, my refuge, my sauyoure: my God, my helper in whome I trust: my buckler, the horne of my health, and my proteccion.

⁶ Yet in my trouble I called vpon the Lord, and complayned vnto my God. So he hearde my voyce out of hys holye temple, and my complaynte came before hym ye euen into hys eares.

¹⁷ He delyuered me fro my stronge enemies & fro my foes whych were to myghtye for me ¹⁸ They preuented me in the time of my trouble, but the Lorde was my defence. ¹⁹ He broughte me forthe also into lybertye: and delyuered me, because, he had a fauoure vnto me.

²⁸ Thou lyghtest my candell, O Lorde my God: thou maketh my darcknesse to be light

⁴⁰ Thou hast made myne enemyes to turne heir backes vpon me, thou haste destroyed them: that hated me.

¹ To the chanter, a Psalme of Dauid. The Lorde heare the in the tyme of trouble, that name of the God of Iacob defend the.

⁵ We wyll reioyse in thy health, & triumphe in the name of the Lorde our God: the Lord perfourme all thy peticion.

⁹ Saue, Lorde, and helpe vs, O kyng, when we call vpon the.

¹² Great bulles are come about me, fatte oxen close me in on euery syde. ¹³ They gape vpon me with their mouthes, as it were a rampynge and roarynge Lyon. ¹⁴ I am poured out lyke water, all my boones are out of ioynt: my herte in the middest of my body is euen lyke meltyng waxe. ¹⁵ My strength is dryed vp lyke a potsherde, my tunge cleueth to my goomes, & thou haste brought me into the dust of death. ¹⁶ For dogges are come about me, the counsail of the wicked hath layed seage against me. They pearsed my handes and my fete,

²¹ Saue me from the Lyons mouth, & heare me from amonge the hornes of the Vnicornes.

²³ O praise the Lord ye that feare him: Magnify hym all ye sede of Iacob, and let al the sede of Israel feare hym.

²³ O praise the Lord ye that feare him: Magnify hym all ye sede of Iacob, and let al the sede of Israel feare hym. ²⁴ For he hath not despised nor abhorred the miserable estate of the poore: he hath not hid hys face fro me, but when I called vnto him he herde me.

⁴ Though I should walke now in the valley of the shadow of death, yet I feare not euel for thou arte with me: thy staffe & thy shepehoke comforte me.

³ Who shall go vp into the hyll of the Lord? Or who shal remayne in his holy place? ⁴ Euen he that hath innocent handes and a cleane hert: which lifteth not vp his minde vnto vanite, and sweareth not to disceaue.

⁷ Open your gates (O ye princes) lette the euerlastynge dores be opened, that the kyng of glory may come in.

⁹ Open youre gates (O ye princes) let the euerlastynge dores be opened, that the kyng of glory may come in.

¹ Of Dauid. The Lorde is my lyghte and my health: whome then shoulde I feare? the Lorde is the strength of my life, for whom then shuld I be afraied?

¹ Of Dauid. The Lorde is my lyghte and my health: whome then shoulde I feare? the Lorde is the strength of my life, for whom then shuld I be afraied? ² Therfore when the wycked, euen myne enemies and my foes, came vpon me, to eate vp my flesh, stombled and fell. ³ Thoughe an hooste of men were layed agaynst me, yet shall not my hert be afrayed: and though there rose vp warre agaynst me, yet wyll I put my trust in him.

¹¹ And so thou hast turned my heuynesse into ioye: thou haste put of my sacke cloth, & gyrded me with gladnesse. ¹² That mine honoure myght synge praises vnto the without ceasyng: O Lord my God, I wil geue thankes vnto the for euer.

⁸ Thou hast not delyuered me ouer into the handes of the enemye, but hast set my fete in a large rowme.

¹¹ Be glad, O ye ryghtuous, and reioyse in the Lord, be ioyful al ye that are true of herte.

⁶ He shal make thy righteousnesse as cleare as the light, & thy iust dealynge as the noone daye.

¹ To the chaunter, a Psalme of Dauid. I waited pacyently for the Lord, which enclined hym selfe vnto me: and herd my callynge. ² He brought me out of the horryble pitte, out of the myre and claye: he set my fete vpon the rocke, & ordred my goinges. ³ He hath put a newe songe in my mouthe, euen a thanckes geuynge vnto oure God. Many men seing this shal feare the Lord, and put their trust in hym. ⁴ Blessed is the man that setteth his hope in the Lorde, and turneth not vnto the proud, & to such as go aboute with lyes. ⁵ O Lorde my God, greate are thy wonderous worckes whiche thou haste done: and in thy thoughtes toward vs there maye none be likened vnto the. I wold declare them, and speake of them: but they are so manye, that they can not be tolde.

¹⁰ I do not hyde thy ryghtuousnes in my hert, my talkinge is of thy trueth and sauing health: I kepe not thy louyng mercy & faythfulnesse backe from the greate congregacyon.

³ For they gat not the lande in possessyon thorowe their owne swearde, neyther was it their owne arme that helped them. But thy ryght hande, thyne arme and the lyght of thy countenaunce, because thou haddest a fauoure vnto them.

⁴ Good lucke haue thou with thyne honor, ryde on with the trueth, mekenesse & righteousnes: and thy righthand shall teach the wonderfull thynges.

¹ To the chaunter, a songe of the children of Corah vpon almuth. In oure troubles & aduersitye, we haue founde, that God is oure refuge, oure strength and helpe.

¹¹ The Lord of hostes is with vs, the God of Iacob is our defence. Selah.

¹⁸ O be fauourable gracyous vnto Syon, that the walles of Ierusalem maye be buylded, ¹⁹ For when shalt thou be pleased wyth the sacrifice of ryghtuousnes, with the burntofferinges and oblations: then shal they laye bullockes vpon thine alter.

⁴ But lo, God is my helper: it is he that vpholdeth my soule.

⁷ For thou hast deliuered me out of all my trouble, so that myne eye seith his desire vpon myne enemyes.

¹⁸ It is he that deliuereth my soule in peace, from them that laye wayte for me: for they are many agaynst me.

¹ To the chaunter, vpon the domme stock doue: whiche flyeth ferre of, Michtam of Dauid, when the Phylystynes toke hym in Geth. Be mercifull vnto me (O God) for men will treade me doune: they are dayly fightynge and troublynge me. ² Myne enemyes treade me dayly vnder their fete, for they be many that proudly fighte agaynste me. ³ Neuerthelesse, when I am afrayed, I put my trust in the. ⁴ I will comforte my selfe in Gods worde, yea, I will hope in God, & not feare: What can flesh then do vnto me?

⁹ When soeuer I call vpon the, myne enemyes are put to flight: whereby I knowe that thou art my God.

¹¹ Yea, in God do I trust, and am not afraied what can man than do vnto me?

⁹ Or euer your thorns be sharpe, the wrath shall take them awaye quicke, like a stormy wynde.

¹⁰ God sheweth me his goodnes plenteously, God letteth me se my desyre vppon myne enemyes.

¹² Thorow God we shal do great actes, for it is he that shall treade downe oure enemies

⁸ O put your trust in him alway (ye people) poure oute youre hertes before hym, for God is our hope. Selah. ⁹ As for men, they are but vayne, men are dysceatfull: vpon the weyghtes they are all together lyghter than vanitye it selfe.

¹⁰ For thou, O God, hast proued vs, thou hast tryed vs lyke as syluer is tryed. ¹¹ Thou hast broughht vs into captyuyty, & layed trouble vpon oure loynes. ¹² Thou haste suffred men to ryde ouer oure heades, we went thorow fyre and water, but thou hast broughte vs out, and refreshed vs. ¹³ Therfore wyll I go into thy house wyth brentoffrynges, to paye the my vowes, ¹⁴ which I promysed with my lippes, and spake wyth my mouth, when I was in trouble. ¹⁵ I wyll offer vnto the fat brentsacrifyces wyth the smoke of rammes, I wyl offer bullockes and goates. Selah.

³ But the ryghtuous shalbe glad and reioyce before God, they shalbe mery and ioyfull.

¹ To the chaunter vpon Sosanim of Dauid. Helpe me, O god, for the waters are come in, euen vnto my soule.

¹³ But Lorde I made my prayer vnto the in an acceptable tyme. Heare me, O God, with thy great mercy and sure helpe.

³³ For the Lorde heareth the poore, and despyseth not hys priesoners. ³⁴ Let heauen and earth praise him, the sea & all that moueth ther in.

¹⁷ Thou, O God, haste learned me fro my youth vp vntyll now, therfore wyll I tell of thy wonderous workes. ¹⁸ Forsake me not, O GOD, in myne olde age, when I am gray headed: vntyll I haue shewed thyne arme vnto chylders chyldren, and thy power to all them that are yet for to come.

²⁸ But it is good for me, to holde me fast by God, to put my trust in the Lorde God, and to speake of all thy workes.

² In the tyme of my trouble I soughte the Lorde, I helde vp myne handes vnto him in the night season, for my soule refused all other comforte.

¹⁴ Lyke as a fyre that burneth vp the wood, and as the flame that consumeth the mountaynes. ¹⁵ Persecute them euen so with thy tempest, and make them afrayed with thy storme.

¹⁰ For one daye in thy courte is better then a thousande. I had rather be a dore keper in the house of my God, then to dwell in the tentes of the vngodly.

¹⁷ Shew some token vpon me for good, that they which hate me, maye se it, and be ashamed: because thou Lord hast helped me, and comforted me.

¹⁷ They come rounde about me dayly lyke water, and compasse me together on euerye side.

¹³ Thou hast a myghty arme, stronge is thy hande, and hye is thy righthande.

¹⁷ And the glorious maiesty of the Lord our God be vpon vs: O prospere thou the worke of our handes vpon vs, O prospere thou our handy worke.

¹¹ Myne eye also shall se hys luste of myne enemyes, and myne eare shall heare his desire of the wicked that ryse vp agaynst me.

¹² Blessed is the man, whome thou learnest (O LORDE) and teacheste hym in thy lawe. ¹³ That thou mayest geue hym pacience in tyme of aduersitie, vntil the pytte be dygged vp for the vngodly.

² Let vs come before his presence with thankesgeuynge, & shewe oure selfe gladde in hym with Psalmes.

¹ A Psalme. O synge vnto the Lorde a new song, for he hath done maruelous thynges. With hys owne ryght hande and with his holy arme hathe he gotten the victory.

⁴ O go youre waye into hys gates then with thanckesgeuynge, and into his courtes with prayse, be thanckefull vnto hym, and speake good of his name. ⁵ For the Lorde is gracyous, hys mercie is euerlastynge, and hys trueth endureth from generatyon to generacyon.

¹⁷ But the mercyfull goodnesse of the Lorde endureth for euer and euer, vpon them that feare him, and his righteousnesse vpon their chyldren.

¹ Prayse the euerlastynge. O geue thankes vnto the Lorde, for he is gracyous, and hys mercy endureth for euer.

¹³ So they cryed vnto the LORD in their trouble, and he deliuered them oute of theyr dystresse.

¹⁹ So they cryed vnto the Lorde in their trouble, and he deliuered them oute of theyr distresse.

²² That they wolde offre vnto him the sacrifice of thankesgeuyng, & tell out hys workes with gladnes.

⁸ Hys hert is stablished, he wyl not shrynke, vntyl he se hys desyre vpon hys enemyes.

⁹ But let Israell trust in the Lorde, for he is their succoure and defence. ¹⁰ Let the house of Aaron put their truste in the Lorde for he is their succoure and defence ¹¹ They that feare the Lorde, lette them put their trust in the Lord, for he is their succour and defence.

¹ I am wel pleased, that the Lord hath hearde the voyce of my prayer.

³ The snares of death compased me round aboute, the paynes of hell gat hold vpon me I founde trouble and heauynesse. ⁴ Then called I vpon the name of the Lord O Lorde: delyuer my soule.

¹⁸ I wyll paye my vowes vnto the Lord in the syght of al his people, ¹⁹ in the courtes of the Lordes house, euen in the middest of the, O Ierusalem. Prayse the euerlasting.

¹ O geue thankes vnto the Lord, for he is gracyous, & hys mercy endureth for euer.

¹⁴ The lorde is my strength, and my songe and is become my saluation.

²⁹ O geue thanckes vnto the lorde, for he is gracyous, and his mercy endureth for euer.

¹³ With my lippes wil I be tellyng out all the iudgmentes of thy mouth.

⁵⁴ Thy statutes are my songes in the house of my pylgremage.

¹¹¹ Thy testimonyes haue I claymed as myne heritage for euer: and why? thei are the very ioye of my herte.

¹ The song of the steares When I am in trouble, I cal vpon the Lorde, and he answereth me.

⁸ So that they which go by, saye not so much as: the Lord prospere you, we wish you good lucke in the name of the Lord.

¹ A prayse of Dauid. I wyll magnifie the, O God my kyng, I wil prayse thy name for euer & euer.

⁴ One generacion shall prayse thy workes vnto another, and declare thy power.

¹⁰ All thy workes prayse the (O Lorde) and thy saynctes geue thankes vnto the.

² whyle I lyue will I prayse the Lorde: yea, as longe as I haue any beyng, I will sing prayses vnto my God. ³ O put not your trust in prynces, nor in any chylde of man, for there is no helpe in them. ⁴ For when the breath of man goeth forth, he shall turne agayne to his earth, and so all hys thoughtes perysh. ⁵ Blessed is he that hath the God of Iacob for his helpe, and whose hope is in the Lord hys God.

⁵ Blessed is he that hath the God of Iacob for his helpe, and whose hope is in the Lord hys God.

¹⁹ He sheweth hys woorde vnto Iacob, hys statutes and ordinaunces vnto Israel. ²⁰ He hath not dealte so with all the Heathen, neither haue they knowlege of hys lawes. Prayse the euerlastyng.

¹¹ My sonne, despise not the chastening of the Lorde, neyther faynte when thou arte rebuked of hym. ¹² For whome the Lord loueth hym he chasteneth: & yet deliteth in him euen as a father in his owne sonne.

⁶ For the laughing of fooles is lyke the crackinge of thornes vnder a pot, And that is but a vayne thing.

² Neuertheles the people that haue dwelt in darcknesse, shall se a greate lyght. As for them that dwell in the lande of the shadowe of death, vpon them shall the lyght shyne.

² Beholde, God is my health, in whom I trust, & am not afraid. For the Lorde God is my strength and my praise, he also shalbe my refuge.

¹ O Lorde, thou arte my God, I wil praise the, & magnifie thy name. For thou bryngest maruelous thinges to passe, accordinge to thyne olde councels, truly & stedfastly.

⁹ At the same tyme shall it be sayde: lo, thys is oure God in whom we put oure trust, and he hath healed vs. This is the Lorde that we haue wayted for. Let vs reioyse and delyte in hys health.

² Open the gates, that the good people maye go in, whiche laboureth for the truthe.

⁴ Who wyll compell me, that I greatly forgettynge all faythfulnesse, shulde burne it vp at ones with thornes & bushes?

² They go doune into Egypte (and aske me no councell) to seke helpe at the power of Pharao, and comforte in the shadowe of the Egypcians. ³ But Pharaos helpe shalbe youre confusyon, & the comfort in the Egypcyans shadowe shalbe your owne shame.

¹⁵ For the Lorde God, euen the holy one of Israell hath promysed thus: Wyth styll syttynge and rest shall ye be healed, in quyetnesse & hope shall youre strength lye. ¹⁶ Notwithstandynge ye regarde it not, but ye wyll saye: No, for thus are we constrayned to fle vpon horses. And therfore shall ye fle, we muste ryde vpon swift beastes, and therfore youre persecutours shal yet be swyfter. ¹⁷ A thousand of you shall fle for one, or at the moste for fyue, whiche do but only geue you euyll wordes? vntyll ye be desolate, as a shyp mast vpon an hye mountayne, and as a beaken vpon on hyll.

¹ Wo be vnto them that go doune into Egypte for help, and trust in horses, & comforte themselues in charettes, because they be many, & in horse men because they be lusty & strong. But they regarde not the holy one of Israel, and they aske no question at the Lorde.

⁸ Assur also shalbe slayne with the swerde, not with a mans swerde. A swerd shall deuoure hym, but not a mans swerde. And he shall fle from the slaughter, and hys seruauntes shalbe taken prysoners.

⁸ There shalbe fote pathes and comen stretes, this shalbe called the holy waye. No vncleane person shall go thorow it, for the Lorde hym selfe shall go with them that waye, and the ignoraunt shall not erre, ⁹ There shalbe no lyon, and no rauyshynge beast shall come therin, nor be there, but men shall go there fre and safe. ¹⁰ And the redemed of the Lorde shall conuerte, and come to Syon with thankesgeuynge. Euerlastinge ioye shall they haue, pleasure and gladnesse shall be amonge them. And as for all sorowe and heuynes, it shall vanysh awaye.

⁶ lo, thou puttest thy truste in a broken staffe of rede (I meane Egypte) whyche he that leaneth vpon, it goeth in to hys hande & shutteth hym thorowe. Euen so is Pharao the Kyng of Egypt, vnto all them that trust in him. ⁷ But yf thou woldest saye to me: we trust in the Lorde oure God: A goodlye God in dede: whose Hye places and aulters Hezekiah toke downe, & commaunded Iuda & Ierusalem, to worshyppe onely before the aulter.

¹⁶ Verely (Lorde) men must lyue in bytternesse, & all my life muste I passe ouer therin: For thou raysest me vp, and wakest me. But lo, I wyllbe well content with this bytternes. ¹⁷ Neuertheles my conuersacyon hath so pleased the, that thou woldest not make an ende of my lyfe: so that thou hast cast all my synnes behynde thy back. ¹⁸ For hell prayseth not the, death doth not magnyfye the. They that go downe into the graue, prayse not thy trueth: ¹⁹ but the lyuyng, yee the liuinge acknowledge the, lyke as I do thys daye. The father telleth hys chyldren of thy faythfulnesse. ²⁰ Delyuer vs (O Lorde) and we wyll singe prayses in thy house, all the dayes of oure life.

²⁰ Delyuer vs (O Lorde) and we wyll singe prayses in thy house, all the dayes of oure life.

²² Then sayd Hezekiah: O what a great thinge is this, that I shall go vp into the house of the Lorde.

¹⁷ But Israell shalbe saued in the Lorde, which is the euerlastinge saluacion: They shall not come to shame ner confusyon, worlde without ende.

²² And therfore turne you vnto me (all ye endes of the earth) so shall ye be saued, for I am God, and there is els none. ²³ I sweare by my selfe, out of my mouth commeth the worde of ryghtuousnesse, and that maye no man turne: but all knees shall bowe vnto me, and all tunges shall sweare by me, ²⁴ sayinge: Verelye in the Lorde is my ryghtuousnes and strength. To hym shall men come: but all they that thyncke scorne of hym, shalbe confounded. ²⁵ And the whole sede of Israel shalbe iustyfyed, and praysed in the Lorde.

⁸ And thus sayth the Lorde: In the tyme apointed wyll I be present with the. And in the houre of healthe wyll I helpe the, and delyuer the. I wyll make the a pledge for the people, so that thou shalte helpe vp the earthe agayne, and chalenge agayne the scatred herytages:

⁹ Wake vp, wake vp, and be strong: O thou arme of the Lorde: wake vp, lyke as in tymes paste, euer and sence the worlde beganne. ¹⁰ Arte not thou he, that haste wounded that proude lucyfer, & hewen the dragon in peces? Arte not thou euen he, whiche haste dryed vp the depe of the sea, whiche haste made playne the sea grounde, that the delyuered myght go thorow? ¹¹ That the redemed of the Lord, which turned agayne, myghte come wyth ioye vnto Syon, there to endure for euer? That myrthe and gladnesse might be with them, that sorow & wo myght fle from them? ¹² Yea I, I am euen he, that in all thynges geueth you consolacion. What arte thou then, that fearest a mortal man, the chylde of man, whiche goeth awaye as doeth the floure?

¹³ Yea yf thou turne thy fete from the Sabboth, so that thou do not the thynge whyche pleaseth thy selfe in my holy daye: then shalte thou be called vnto the pleasaunt, holy, & gloryous Sabboth of the Lorde, where thou shalt be in honoure: so that thou do not after thyne owne ymaginacion, neyther seke thine owne wyll, nor speake thyne owne wordes.

¹ And therfore get the vp by tymes, for thy lyght cometh, and the glory of the Lorde shall ryse vp vpon the.

⁷ I wyl declare the goodnesse of the Lorde, yea and the prayse of the Lorde for all that he hath geuen vs, for the great good that he hath done for Israel: whyche he hath geuen them of hys owne fauoure, and accordynge to the multytude of hys louynge kyndnesses.

¹³ Therfore thus saieth the Lorde God: Beholde, my seruauntes shall eate, but ye shall haue honger. Beholde, my seruauntes shall dryncke, but ye shall suffre thurste. Beholde my seruauntes shalbe mery, but ye shalbe confounded.

⁵ Thus sayeth the Lorde: Cursed be the man that putteth his trust in man, & that taketh flesh for hys arme: and he, whose herte departeth from the Lorde. ⁶ He shall be lyke the heeth, that groweth in the wildernes. As for the good thing that is for to come, he shal not se it: but dwell in a drye place of the wildernes, in a salt and vnoccupied lande. ⁷ O blessed is the man, that putteth hys trust in the Lorde, and whose hope is the Lorde hym selfe.

¹¹ But the Lorde stode by me, lyke a myghtie giaunte: therfore my persecuters fell, and coulde do nothing. They shall be sore confounded, for they haue done vnwysely, they shall haue an euerlastynge shame.

¹¹ Shall the voice of gladnesse be hearde agayne, the voyce of the Brydegrome and of the bryde, the voyce of them that shall synge: Prayse the Lorde of Hostes, for he is louinge and his mercy endureth for euer, and the voyce of them that shall offer vp gyftes in the house of the Lorde. For I will restore the captiuite of this lande, as it was afore, saieth the Lord.

¹⁰ And therfore come on, we wyll shewe Syon the worke of the Lorde oure God.

⁷ When they toke hold of the with theyr hand thou brakest & pryekest them on euerye syde, & yf they leaned vpon the, thou brakest & hurtest the reynes of theyr backes.

⁶ I went downe to the botome af the hylles, and was barred in wyth earth for euer. But thou, O Lorde my God, haste brought vp my lyfe agayne out of corrupcyon.

⁵ Let no man beleue hys frende, nor put his confidence in a prynce. Kepe the porte of thy mouthe, from her that lyeth in thy bosome: ⁶ for the sonne shall put hys father to dyshonoure, the doughter shall ryse agaynst her mother, the doughter in lawe agaynst her mother in lawe: & a mans foes shalbe euen they of hys owne houshold. ⁷ Neuerthelesse I wyll loke vp vnto the Lorde, I wyll pacyentlye abyde God my sauyoure: my God shall heare me. ⁸ O thou enemye of myne, reioyce not at my fal, for I shal get vp agayne: and thoughe I syt in my darckenesse, yet the Lorde is my lyght.

⁸ O thou enemye of myne, reioyce not at my fal, for I shal get vp agayne: and thoughe I syt in my darckenesse, yet the Lorde is my lyght. ⁹ I wyl beare the punyshment of the Lorde (for why? I haue offended hym) tyll he sit in iudgement vpon my cause, and se that I haue ryghte. He wyll brynge me forth to the lyght, & I shall se hys ryghtuousnesse.

⁹ I wyl beare the punyshment of the Lorde (for why? I haue offended hym) tyll he sit in iudgement vpon my cause, and se that I haue ryghte. He wyll brynge me forth to the lyght, & I shall se hys ryghtuousnesse. ¹⁰ She that is myne enemy shall loke vpon it, & be confounded, which now sayth. Where is thy Lorde God? Myne eyes shall beholde her, when she shalbe troden doune, as the clay in the stretes.

¹⁰ For lyke as the thornes that sticke together, and as the drye strawe, so shall the dronckardes be consumed together, euen when they be full.

¹² But thou O Lorde my God, my holy one thou arte from the begynnynge, therfor shall we not dye. O Lorde, thou hast ordened them for a punyshment, and set them to reproue the myghtye.

⁹ for lo, the stone that I haue layed before Iesua: vpon one stone shalbe .vij. eyes. Beholde, I wyll hewe hym out (sayeth the Lorde of Hostes) & take awaye the synne of that lande in one daye.

⁷ What art thou, thou greate mountayne, before Zorobabel: thou must be mayde euen. And he shall brynge vp the fyrst stone, so that men shall crye vnto hym: good lucke, good lucke.

³ At the same tyme wil I make Ierusalem, an heauye stone for al people, so that al such as lift it vp shalbe toarne & rente, & all the people of the earth shalbe gathered together against it.

¹ Beholde, the day of the Lorde commeth, that thou shalt be spoyled, & robbed: ² for I will gather together al the heathen, to fighte agaynste Ierusalem, so that the city shalbe woune, the houses spoyled, & the wemen defiled. The half of the city shal go away into captiuite, & the residue of the people shal not be caried out of the cyty. ³ After that shal the lord go forthe to fyght agaynste those heathen, as men vse to fight in the daye of batell.

² But vnto you that feare my name, shall the Sonne of ryghteousnesse aryse, and healthe shalbe vnder his winges: ye shal go forth, & multipply as the fat calues.

²¹ She shall bryngforth a sonne, & thou shalt cal his name Iesus. For he shal saue his people from their sins. ²² All thys was done to fulfyll that whyche was spoken of the Lorde by the Prophet, saiynge: ²³ Bholde a mayde shall be wyth chylde, and shal bringe forth a sonne, and they shall call hys name Emanuell, whyche is by interpretation, God wyth vs.

¹ Then was Iesus led away of the spirite into wildernes, to be tempted of the deuyll. ² And when he had fasted .xl. dayes & .xl. nightes, he was afterwarde an hungred. ³ Then came to him the temptour, & said: if thou be the sonne of God, commaunde that these stones be made bread. ⁴ He aunswered and said: it is written, man shall not lyue by breade onlye, but by euerye worde that procedeth out of the mouth of God. ⁵ Then the deuyll toke him vp into the holye cytye, and set him on a pinacle of the temple, ⁶ & sayd vnto him: if thou be the sonne of God cast thy selfe doune. For it is written, he shall geue his aungels charge ouer the, & with their handes they shal holde the vp, that thou dashe not thy fote against a stone: ⁷ And Iesus said to him, it is written also: Thou shalt not tempt thy lord God. ⁸ The deuil toke him vp again & ledde him into an exceding hye mountayne, and shewed him all the kingdoms of the world, & al the glory of them, ⁹ & said to him: al these wyl I geue the, if thou wilt fall doune & worshyppe me. ¹⁰ Then sayd Iesus vnto him. Auoide sathan. For it is wrytten, thou shalt worshippe the Lord thy God and him only shalt thou serue. ¹¹ Then the diuel left him, & beholde, the aungels came and ministred vnto him.

⁹ Moreouer the people that went before, and they also that came after, cryed sayinge: Hosanna to the sonne of Dauid. Blessed be he that cometh in the name of the Lorde Hosanna in the hyest.

⁴² Iesus sayde vnto them: dyd ye neuer reade in the scriptures. The stone which the buylders refused, the same is set in the principall parte of the corner: thys was the Lordes doynge, and it is meruelous in oure eyes.

³⁹ For I saye to you, ye shall not se me hence forth tyll that ye saye blessed is he that commeth in the name of the Lorde.

¹ The Saboth daye at euen which dauneth the morowe after the saboth. Mary Magdalene, & the other Marye came to se the sepulchre. ² And beholde there was a great earthquake. For the aungell of the Lorde descended from heauen: & came & rowled backe the stone from the dore, and sat vpon it. ³ His countenaunce was lyke lyghtnyng, & his raymente whyte as snowe. ⁴ And for feare of him the kepers were astonnied and became as dead men. ⁵ The aungel aunswered & sayd to the women: feare ye not. I knowe that ye seke Iesus, whiche was crucifyed: ⁶ he is not here: he is rysen as he sayd. Come & se the place where the Lord was put, ⁷ & go quickly & tel hys discyples that he is rysen from death. And behold, he wil go before you into Galile, there ye shall se hym. Lo, I haue tolde you. ⁸ And thei departed quickly from the sepulchre with feare & greate ioye: & dyd runne to bring hys disciples word.

⁹ And they that before, & they that folowed, cryed, saying Hosanna: blessed be he that commeth in the name of the Lord. ¹⁰ Blessed be the kyngdome that commeth in the name of hym that is Lord of our father Dauid. Hosanna in the hyest.

¹⁰ Haue ye not read thys scrypture? The stone which the buylders dyd refuse, is made the chiefe stone in the corner: ¹¹ thys was done of the Lorde, and is merueylouse in our eyes.

³¹ And he spake boldelyer: no, yf I shoulde dye wt the I wyll not deuye the. Lykewyse also sayde they all. ³² And they came into a place named Gethsemanye, and he sayde to hys discyples: Syt ye here, whyle I go a parte and praye. ³³ And he toke with him Peter, Iames, and Iohn, & he began to waxe abashed, and to be in an agonye, ³⁴ and said vnto them: My soule is very heauye euen vnto the death: tarye here & watche. ³⁵ And he wente forthe a litle and fell doune on the grounde, and prayed: that yf it were possyble, the houre myght passe from hym. ³⁶ And he sayde: Abba father, all thynges are possyble vnto the, take awaye this cup from me. Neuerthelesse, not that I wyll but that thou wylte, be done.

⁵¹ He sheweth strength with his arme, he scattereth them that are proude in the ymagynacion of their hertes.

³⁵ Beholde your habitacion shall be lefte vnto you desolate. For I tell you, ye shal not se me vntyll the tyme come that ye shall say, blessed is he that commeth in the name of the Lorde.

³⁸ saying: Blessed be the kyng that cometh in the name of the Lorde: peace in heauen, and glorye in the hyest.

¹⁷ And he behelde them, and sayde: what meaneth this then that is wryten. The stone that the buylders refused, the same is made the head corner stone?

¹² Then spake Iesus agayne vnto them, saiynge. I am the lyghte of the worlde. He that foloweth me, shall not walke in darkenes: but shall haue the lyghte of lyfe.

⁴ When Iesus hearde, that he sayed: this infirmitie is not vnto death, but for the laude of God that the sonne of God myght be praysed by the reason of it.

¹³ toke braunches of palme trees, and went and met hym, and cryed: Hosanna, blessed is he that in the name of the Lorde cometh kynge of Israell.

¹⁹ The same day at night, which was the morowe after the saboth day, when the dores wer shut, wher the disciples were assembled together for fear of the Iewes, came Iesus and stode in the myddes, and saide to them: peace be wyth you. ²⁰ And when he had so sayed, he shewed vnto them his handes, and hys syde. Then were the dyscyples glade when they sawe the Lorde.

³² Thys Iesus hath God raised vp wher of we all are witnesses. ³³ Sence nowe that he by the ryght hand of God is exalted, and hath receiued of the father the promyse of the holy ghost, he hath shed forth, that whyche ye now se and heare. ³⁴ For Dauid is not ascended into heauen: but he sayd: The Lord said to my Lord, syt on my ryght hande ³⁵ vntyll I make thy fooes thy fote stole. ³⁶ So therefore let all the house of Israell knowe for a surety, that God hath made the same Iesus whom ye haue crucifyed, bothe Lord and Christe.

⁴⁶ And they contynued dayly wyth one accorde in the temple and brake bread in euerye house, and dyd eate their meate together, with gladnes and singlenes of her ⁴⁷ praisynge God, and had fauour wyth all the people: And the Lorde added to the congregacion dayly suche as should be saued.

¹⁴ But ye denyed the holye and iuste: and desyred a mortherer to be geuen you ¹⁵ and kylled the Lorde of lyfe, whom god hath raysed from death, of the whiche we are wytnesses.

¹¹ This is the stone cast asyde of you builders, which is set in the chiefe place of the corner.

¹³ When they sawe the boldnes of Peter & Iohn and vnderstode that, they were vnlerned men and lay people, they meruailed, and they knew then that they were with Iesu:

³¹ Hym hath God lyfte vp with his ryght hand to be a ruler and a sauiour, for to geue repentaunce to Israell and forgeuenes of synnes? ³² And we are hys recordes concerninge these thinges, & also the holy ghost, whom God hath geuen to them that obey him.

⁴¹ Beholde ye despysers, and wonder, and peryshe ye: for I do a worke in your dayes, whiche ye shall not beleue, yf a man woulde declare it you.

³⁴ When he had broughte them into hys house: he set meate before them, and ioyed that he with all hys housholde beleued on God.

⁷ And on the morowe after the saboth day the disciples came together for to breake bread and Paule preached vnto them (readye to departe on the morowe) and contynued the preachynge vnto midnyght.

³¹ What shall we then say vnto these thynges? yf God be on oure syde: who can be agaynste vs?

⁷ And he that eateth not, eateth not to please the Lorde with all, & geueth God thankes. ⁸ For none of vs lyueth his owne seruaunt: neyther doeth anye of vs dye hys owne seruaunte. Yf we lyue, we lyue to be at the Lordes wyll. And yf we dye, we dye at the Lordes wyll. Whether we lyue therfore or dye, we are the Lordes. ⁹ For Christe therfore dyed, and rose agayne, and reuyued that he myght be Lord both of dead & quicke.

³² But when we are iudged of the Lorde, we are chastened, because we shoulde not be dampued wyth the worlde.

⁹ Also we receiued and aunswere of death in our selues, and that because we woulde not put oure truste in oure selues: but in God, whiche rayseth the dead to lyfe again, ¹⁰ & which delyuered vs from so greate a death, and doth delyuer. On whom we truste that yet here after he will delyuer, ¹¹ by the helpe of your prayer for vs: that by the meanes of manye occasions, thankes maye be geuen of manye on our behalfe, for the grace geuen vnto vs.

⁹ as vnknowen, & yet knowen: as dying, & beholde we yet liue: as chastened and not kylled:

¹⁶ And as many as walke accordynge to thys rule peace be on them, and mercye, and vpon Israel that pertayneth to God.

¹⁹ and what is the excedynge greatnes of hys power to vs warde, whiche beleue accordynge to the workynge of that hys myghtye power, ²⁰ whiche he wrought in Christe, when he raysed hym from the dead, and set hym on hys ryght hande in heauenly thynges, ²¹ aboue all rule, power, and myghte, and domynyon, and aboue all names that are named, not in thys worlde onely, but also in the worlde to come, ²² and hath put all thynges, vnder hys fete, and hath made hym aboue all thynges the heade of the congregacyon,

²⁰ and are buylt vpon the foundation of the Apostles & Prophetes, Iesus Christe beynge the head corner stone, ²¹ in whom euerye buyldinge coupled together, groweth vnto an holye temple in the Lorde, ²² in whom ye also are buylde together, and made an habitacion for god in the spyryte.

¹⁴ For as muche then as the children were partetakers of fleshe and bloude, he also him selfe lyke wyse toke part wyth them, for to put doune thorowe death, that is to saye the deuyll,

¹⁰ And they verely for a few dayes, nurtered vs after their owne pleasure, but he learneth vs vnto that whiche is profytable that we myght receyue of hys holynes. ¹¹ No maner chastisynge for the presente tyme semeth to be ioyeous, but greuous: neuerthelesse afterwarde, it bryngeth the quyet frute of ryghtuousnes vnto them whiche are therein exercysed.

⁶ that we maye boldelye say: the Lorde is my helper and I wyll not feare what man doethe vnto me.

¹⁵ For by hym offre we the sacryfyce of laud alwayes to God: that is to saye, the frute of those lyppes, whiche confesse hys name.

⁴ to whome ye come as vnto a lyuinge stone dysalowed of men, but chosen of God and precyous: ⁵ and ye as lyuynge stones, are made a spirytuall housse, and an holye priesthode, for to offer vp spyrytuall sacryfyce, acceptable to God by Iesus Christe.

⁵ and ye as lyuynge stones, are made a spirytuall housse, and an holye priesthode, for to offer vp spyrytuall sacryfyce, acceptable to God by Iesus Christe. ⁶ Wherfore it is contained in the scrypture: beholde, I put in Syon an head corner stone, electe and precyous: and he that beleueth on hym, shall not be ashamed. ⁷ Vnto you therfor whiche beleue, he is precyous, but vnto them whiche beleue not, the stone whiche the buylders refused the same is made the head stone in the corner, ⁸ and a stone to stomble at, and a rocke to offende them whiche stomble at the word, and beleue not that whereon they were set. ⁹ But ye are a chosen generacyon, a royall priesthode, an holye nacyon and a peculyar people that ye shoulde shewe the vertues of hym that called you oute of darkenes into his marueylous lyght,

⁹ But ye are a chosen generacyon, a royall priesthode, an holye nacyon and a peculyar people that ye shoulde shewe the vertues of hym that called you oute of darkenes into his marueylous lyght, ¹⁰ whiche in tyme past were not vnder mercye, but nowe haue obtayned mercye.

⁶ & made vs kinges and priestes vnto God his father: be glorye and dominyon for euer more. Amen.

¹⁰ I was in the spirite on a sondaye, and hearde behynde me a great voyce, as it had bene of a trompe,

⁷ and the fyrste beast was lyke a Lyon, the second beast lyke a calfe, and the thyrde beast had a face as a man, and the fourth beaste was lyke a fliyng egle. ⁸ And the .iiij. beastes had eche one of them .vi. wynges about him, and they were full of eies wythin. And they had no reste, daye neither nyghte sayinge. Holye, holye, holy, Lord God almyghtye, whyche was and is, and is to come. ⁹ And when those beastes gaue glorye and honour, and thankes to him that sate on the seate, whiche lyueth for euer and euer, ¹⁰ the .xxiiij. elders fel doune before him that sate on the throne, and worshypped him that lyueth for euer, and cast their crounes before the throne, saiynge: ¹¹ thou art worthy Lorde to receiue glory and honour and power, for thou hast created al thinges, and for thy wylles sake they are and were created.

⁸ And when he had taken the boke, the .iiij. beastes, and .xxiiij. elders fel doune before the lambe, hauinge harpes and golden vialles full of odoures, whyche are the prayers of saynctes, ⁹ and they songe a new songe saiyng: thou art worthy to take the boke, and to open the seales therof: for thou wast kylled, & hast redemed vs by thy bloud out of al kynredes, and tonges, and people, and nacions ¹⁰ and hast made vs to our God, kynges, and priestes, & we shal reigne on the earth.

²⁰ Reioice ouer her thou heauen, and ye holy Apostles, & prophetes: for God hath geuen your iudgemente on her.

¹ And after that, I heard the voice of much people in heauen saying Alleluia. Saluacion and glory and honoure, & power be ascribed to the Lorde oure God, ² for true and ryghteous are his iudgementes, for he hath iudged that great whore, whiche dyd corrupte the earth with her fornicacion, & hath auenged the bloude of his seruauntes of her hand. ³ And again they said: Alleluia. And smoke rose vp for euermore. ⁴ And the .xxiij. elders, & the .iiij. beastes fel doune, & worshipped God that sate on the seat sayinge: Amen Alleluia. ⁵ And a voice came out of the seate, saying: prayse our Lord God all ye that are his seruauntes, and ye that feare him both smalle and great.

⁵ And a voice came out of the seate, saying: prayse our Lord God all ye that are his seruauntes, and ye that feare him both smalle and great.

¹⁹ And I sawe the beast and the kynges of the earth, & theyr warriers gathered together to make battayl against him that sat on the horse & agaynst hys souldyers. ²⁰ And the beast was taken, & with hym that false prophete that wrought miracles before him with which he deceyued them that receiued the beastes marke, & them that worshipped his Image These both were cast into a ponde of fyre burnyng with brimstone: ²¹ and the remnaunte were slayne with the swerd of him that sate vpon the horse, which swerd proceded out of his mouth & all the foules were fulfilled with their flesh.

⁸ & shal go out to deceiue the people which are in the four quarters of the earthe Gog & Magog, to gether them together to battayle, whose nomber is as the sande of the sea, ⁹ & they went vpon the playne of the earth, & compassed the tentes of the saynctes about & the beloued cytye. And fyre came doune from God, out of heauen, & deuoured them:

²⁴ And the people which are saued, shall walke in the light of it: & the kinges of the earth shal brynge theyr glory vnto it. ²⁵ And the gates of it are not shut by daye. For there shalbe no myght there. ^{26 27} And there shal enter into it none vncleane thyng, neyther whatsoeuer worketh abominacyon: or maketh lyes: but they onely which are wrytten in the lambes boke of lyfe.

¹⁴ Blessed are they that do his commaundementes that theyr power maye be in the tree of lyfe, & maye enter in thorowe the gates into the cite.

¹⁴ Blessed are they that do his commaundementes that theyr power maye be in the tree of lyfe, & maye enter in thorowe the gates into the cite. ¹⁵ For without shal be dogges & inchaunters, & whoremongers, and murtherers & Idolaters and whosoeuer loueth or maketh leasynges.
