¹⁰ But God hath opened them vnto vs by his sprete. For ye sprete searcheth all thinges ye the bottome of Goddes secretes.

⁴⁰ But she is happiar yf she so abyde in my iudgmet And I thinke verely that I have the sprete of God.

⁶ Be cause ye are sonnes God hath sent the sprete of his sonne in to oure hertes which cryeth Abba father.

¹² vnto which Prophetes it was declared that not vnto them selves but vnto vs they shuld minister the thinges which are now shewed vnto you of them which by ye holy goost sent doune fro heven have preached vnto you the thinges which the angels desyre to beholde.

²¹ For the scripture came never by the will of man: but holy men of god spake as they were moved by the holy goost.

²⁴ And he yt kepeth his comaundemetes dwelleth in him and he in him: and therby we knowe that ther abydeth in vs of the sprete which he gave vs.

⁸ Lykwyse these dremers defyle the flesshe despyse rulars and speake evyll of them that are in auctoritie.

⁸ And he that eateth it shall bere his synne: because he hath defiled the halowed thinges of the Lorde, ad that soule shall perish from amonge his people.

³⁹ And ther is another lyke vnto this. Love thyne neghbour as thy selfe.

⁴⁴ No man can come to me except the father which hath sent me drawe him. And I will rayse him vp at the last daye. ⁴⁵ It is written in the Prophetes yt they shall all be taught of God. Every man therfore that hath hearde and hath learned of the father commeth vnto me.

³⁴ A newe commaundment geve I vnto you that ye love to gedder as I have loved you that even so ye love one another ³⁵ 35. By this shall all me knowe yt ye are my disciples yf ye shall have love one to another.

²⁶ But that coforter which is the holy gost (whom my father will sende in my name) he shall teache you all thinges and bringe all thinges to youre remembraunce whatsoever I have tolde you.

¹² This is my commaundement that ye love togedder as I have loved you. ¹³ Gretter love then this hath no man then that a man bestowe his lyfe for his frendes. ¹⁴ Ye are my fredes yf ye do whatsoever I commaunde you. ¹⁵ Hence forth call I you not servauntes: for the servaunt knoweth not what his Lorde doeth. But you have I called frendes: for all thinges that I have hearde of my father I have opened to you. ¹⁶ Ye have not chosen me but I have chosen you and ordeyned you that ye go and bringe forthe frute and that youre frute remayne that whatsoever ye shall axe of the father in my name he shulde geve it you. ¹⁷ This comaunde I you that ye love to gedder.

³² And the multitude of them that beleved were of one hert and of one soule. Also none of them sayde that eny of the thinges which he possessed was his awne: but had all thinges commen.

¹⁰ Be kynde one to another with brotherly love. In gevynge honoure goo one before another.

¹ Be ye folowers of god as dere children ² and walke in love even as Christ loved vs and gave him silfe for vs an offerynge and a sacrifyce of a swete saver to god.

¹ Of the tymes and seasons brethren ye have no nede that I write vnto you:

¹⁰ For this is the testament that I will make with the housse of Israhell: After those dayes sayth the lorde: I will put my lawes in their myndes, and in their hertes I will wryte them, and I wilbe their God, and they shalbe my people. ¹¹ And they shall not teache, every man his neghboure, and every man his brother, sayinge: knowe the lorde: For they shall knowe me, from the lest to the moste of them:

¹⁶ This is the testament that I will make vnto them after those dayes sayth the lorde. I will put my lawes in their hertes and in their mynde I will write them

¹ Let brotherly love continue.

⁸ In coclusion be ye all of one mynde one suffre with another love as brethren be petifull be courteous

⁸ But above all thinges have fervet love amoge you. For love covereth the multitude of synnes.

⁷ in godlynes brotherly kyndnes in brotherly kyndnes love.

¹⁰ He that loveth his brother abydeth in the light and ther is none occasion of evyll in him.

²⁰ And ye have an oyntment of ye holy gost and ye knowe all thynges. ²¹ I wrote not vnto you as though ye knewe not the trueth: but as though ye knewe it and knowe also that no lye commeth of trueth. ²² Who is a lyar: but he that denyeth that Iesus is Christ? The same is the Antichrist that denyeth the father and the sonne. ²³ Whosoever denyeth the sonne the same hath not the father. ²⁴ Let therfore abyde in you that same which ye hearde from the begynnynge. Yf that which ye hearde from ye begynnynge shall remayne in you ye also shall continewe in the sonne and in the father ²⁵ And this is the promes yt he hath promysed vs even eternall lyfe. ²⁶ This have I writte vnto you concernynge the yt disceave you. ²⁷ And ye anoyntynge which ye have receaved of him dwelleth in you. And ye nede not that eny man teache you: but as ye annoyntynge teaheth you all thynges and is true and is no lye: and as it taught you even so byde therin.

¹¹ For this is the tydinges that ye hearde fro the begynninge that we shuld love one another:

¹⁴ We knowe that we are translated from deeth vnto lyfe be cause we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abydeth in deeth. ¹⁵ Whosoever hateth his brother is a man slear. And ye knowe that no man slear hath eternall lyfe abydinge in him. ¹⁶ Herby perceave we love: that he gave his lyfe for vs: and therfore ought we also to geve oure lyves for the brethre. ¹⁷ Whosoever hath this worldes good and seith his brother have neade: and shutteth vp his copassion from him: how dwelleth the love of God in him? ¹⁸ My babes let vs not love in worde nether in tonge: but with dede and in veritie: ¹⁹ for therby we knowe that we are of the veritie and can before him quiet oure hertes.

²³ And this is his comaundemet that we beleve on ye name of his sonne Iesus Christ and love one another as he gave comaundemet.

⁷ Beloved let vs love one another: for love cometh of God. And every one that loveth is borne of God and knoweth God. ⁸ He that loveth not knoweth not God: for God is love. ⁹ In this appered ye love of god to vs ward because that god sent his only begotten sonne into the worlde that we myght live thorow him. ¹⁰ Herin is love not that we loved god but that he loved vs and sent his sonne to make agrement for oure sinnes. ¹¹ Beloved yf god so loved vs we ought also to love one another. ¹² No man hath sene god at enytyme. Yf we love one another god dwelleth in vs and his love is parfect in vs. ¹³ Herby know we that we dwell in him and he in vs: because he hath geven vs of his sprete. ¹⁴ And we have sene and do testifie that the father sent the sonne which is the saveour of the worlde. ¹⁵ Whosoever confesseth that Iesus is the sonne of god in him dwelleth god and he in god. ¹⁶ And we have knowen and beleved the love that god hath to vs. God is love and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in god and god in him.

²¹ And this commaundemet have we of him: that he which loveth God shuld love his brother also.

¹ I do you to wit brethren of the grace of god which is geven in the congregacions of Macedonia ² how that the aboundaunce of their reioysing is that they are tried wt moche tribulacio. And therto though they were excedinge poore yet haue they geue excedinge richly and that in singlenesse.

⁸ Thys saye I not as commaundynge: but be cause other are so fervent therfore prove I youre love whether it be perfait or no. ⁹ Ye knowe the liberalitie of oure lorde Iesus Christ which though he were riche yet for youre sakes be came poore: that ye thorow his povertie myght be made ryche. ¹⁰ And I geve counsell hereto. For this is expedient for you which beganne not to do only: but also to will a yeare a goo.

¹⁵ Wherfore even I (after that I hearde of the fayth which ye have in the lorde Iesu and love vnto all the saynctes)

¹³ Brethren I counte not my silfe that I have gotten it: but one thynge I saye: I forget yt which is behynde and stretche my silfe vnto that which is before ¹⁴ and preace vnto ye marke apoynted to obtayne the rewarde of the hye callynge of god in Christ Iesu. ¹⁵ Let vs therfore as many as be perfect be thus wyse minded: and yf ye be other wyse mynded I praye God open even this vnto you.

⁴ sence we hearde of youre faith which ye have in Christ Iesu and of the love which ye beare to all sayntes

⁷ so that ye were an ensample to all that beleve in Macedonia and Achaia.

¹ Further more we beseche you brethren and exhorte you in the lorde Iesus that ye increace more and more euen as ye have receaved of vs how ye ought to walke and to please god.

⁵ when I heare of thy love and fayth which thou hast towarde the Lorde Iesu and towarde all saynctes: ⁶ so that the fellisshippe that thou hast in the fayth is frutefull thorow knowledge of all good thinges which are in you by Iesus Christ. ⁷ And we have great ioye and consolacion over thy love: for by the (brother) the saynctes hertes are comforted.

³⁴ As a man which is gone in to a straunge countrey and hath lefte hys housse and geven auctorite to his servautes and to every man hys worke and commaunded the porter to watche.

⁴² And the Lorde sayde: If there be any faith full servaut and wise whom his Lorde shall make ruler over his housholde to geve them their duetie of meate at due season: ⁴³ happy is that servaunt whom his master when he cometh shall finde soo doinge.

³ And because he was of the same crafte he abode with them and wrought: their crafte was to make tentes.

³⁵ I have shewed you all thinges how that so laborynge ye ought to receave the weake and to remember the wordes of the Lorde Iesu howe that he sayde: It is more blessed to geve then to receave.

⁴ As we have many members in one body and all members have not one office: ⁵ so we beynge many are one body in Christ and every man (amoge oure selves) one anothers mebers Seynge ⁶ that we have dyvers gyftes accordynge to the grace that is geven vnto vs: yf eny man have ye gyft of prophesye let him have it that it be agreynge vnto the fayth. ⁷ Let him that hath an office wayte on his office. Let him that teacheth take hede to his doctrine. ⁸ Let him that exhorteth geve attendaunce to his exhortacion. Yf eny man geve let him do it with singlenes. Let him that ruleth do it with diligence. Yf eny man shewe mercy let him do it with cherfulnes.

¹¹ Let not yt busynes which ye have in honde be tedious to you. Be fervet in ye sprete. Applye youre selves to ye tyme.

²⁰ So have I enforsed my selfe to preache the gospell not where Christ was named lest I shuld have bylt on another mannes foundacion:

¹² and laboure workinge with oure awne hondes. We are revysed and yet we blesse. We are persecuted and suffer it.

²² Servauntes be obedient vnto youre bodyly masters in all thynges: not with eye service as men pleasers but in synglenes of herte fearynge god. ²³ And whatsoever ye do do it hertely as though ye did it to the lorde and not vnto men for as moche as ye ²⁴ knowe that of the lorde ye shall receave the rewarde of inheritaunce for ye serve the lorde Christ.

⁷ Ye youre selves knowe how ye ought to folowe vs. For we behaved not oure selves inordinatly amonge you. ⁸ Nether toke we breed of eny ma for nought: but wrought with laboure and travayle nyght and daye because we wolde not be grevous to eny of you: ⁹ not but that we had auctoritie: but to make oure selves an insample vnto you to folowe vs.

² for kynges and for all that are in auctorite that we maye live a quyet and a peasable life in all godlines and honestie.

¹³ And also they learne to goo from housse to housse ydle ye not ydle only but also tryflynge and busybodyes speakynge thynges which are not comly.

⁴ to make the younge wemen sobremynded to love their husbandes to love their children ⁵ to be discrete chast huswyfly good and obediet vnto their awne husbandes that the worde of god be not evyll spoken of. ⁶ Yonge men lykwyse exhorte that they be sobre mynded. ⁷ Above all thynges shewe thy silfe an insample of good workes with uncorrupt doctryne with honestie and with the wholsome ⁸ worde which cannot be rebuked that he which withstondeth maye be a shamed havynge no thinge in you yt he maye disprayse. ⁹ The servautes exhorte to be obediet vnto their awne masters and to please in all thynges not answerynge agayne ¹⁰ nether be pickers but that they shewe all good faythfulnes that they maye do worshippe to ye doctryne of oure saveoure God in all thynges.

¹⁴ And let oures olso learne to excell in good workes as farforth as nede requyreth that they be not vnfrutefull.

⁴ but let the hyd man of the herte be incorrupt with a meke and a quyet sprete which sprete is before God a thinge moche set by.

¹⁰ As every man hath receaved the gyfte minister the same one to another as good ministers of the manyfolde grace of God. ¹¹ Yf eny man speake let him talke as though he spake ye wordes of God. If eny man minister let him do it as of ye abilitie which god ministreth vnto him. That god in all thinges maye be glorified thorow Iesus Christ to whom be prayse and dominion for ever and whyll the worlde stondeth. Amen.

¹⁵ Se that none of you suffre as a murtherer or as a thefe or an evyll doar or as a busybody in other mens matters.

¹¹ And he sayde vnto the. To you it is geve to knowe the mistery of the kyngdome of God. But vnto them that are wt out shall all thinges be done in similitudes:

¹⁷ Recopence to no ma evyll fore evyll. Provyde afore honde thinges honest in ye syght of all men.

¹³ Let vs walke honestly as it were in the daye lyght: not in eatynge and drinkynge: nether in chamburynge and wantannes: nether in stryfe and envyinge:

¹² For what have I to do to iudge them which are with out? Do ye not iudge them that are with in? ¹³ Them that are with out God shall iudge. Put awaye from amonge you that evyll parson.

²⁰ For thys we eschue that eny man shuld rebuke vs in this plenteous distribucion that is ministred by vs ²¹ and therfore make provision for honest thynges not in the sight of god only but also in the sight of men.

⁷ Did I therin synne be cause I submitted my silfe that ye myght be exalted and because I preached to you the gospell of God fre? ⁸ I robbed other congregacions and toke wages of the to do you service with all. ⁹ And when I was present with yov and had nede I was greuous to no man for that which was lackynge vnto me the brethren which came from Macedonia supplied: and in all thynges I kept my silfe that I shuld not be greveous to you: and so will I kepe my silfe.

⁵ Walke wysely to them that are with out and redeme ye tyme.

²² Abstayne from all suspicious thinges.

⁷ speaker. He must also be well reported of amonge them which are with out forth lest he fall into rebuke and snare of the evyll speaker.

¹² and se that ye have honest conversacion amonge the getyls that they which backbyte you as evyll doars maye se youre good workes and prayse god in the daye of visitacion.

¹ Lykewyse let the wyves be in subieccio to their husbades that eve they which beleve not the worde maye with out the worde be wonne by the conversacion of ye wyves:

¹⁶ havinge a good consciece that when they backbyte you as evyll doars they maye be ashamed for as moche as they have falsely accused youre good conversacion in Christ. ¹⁷ It is better (yf the wyll of God be so) that ye suffre for well doynge then for evyll doynge.

³⁵ Than came all his sonnes ad all his doughters to comforte him. And he wold not be comforted but sayde: I will go doune in to ye grave vnto my sonne mornynge. And thus his father wepte for him.

²⁸ Ye shall not rent youre flesh for any soules sake, nor printe any markes apon you: I am the Lorde.

¹ Ye are the childern of the Lorde youre God, cut not youre selues nor make you any baldnes betwene the eyes for any mas deeth. ² For thou art an holy people vnto the Lord thy God, ad the Lorde hath chosen the to be a seuerall people vnto him selfe, of all the nacyons that are vppon the erth.

⁵² and graves dyd open: and the bodies of many sainctes which slept arose

⁵² Every body weept and sorowed for her. And he sayde: Wepe not: for she is not deed but slepeth. ⁵³ And they lewgh him to scorne. For they knew that she was deed.

¹¹ This sayde he and after yt he sayde vnto the: oure frende Lazarus slepeth but I goo to wake him out of slepe. ¹² Then sayde his disciples: Lorde yf he slepe he shall do well ynough. ¹³ How be it Iesus spake of his deeth: but they thought yt he had spoke of ye naturall slepe.

²⁴ Martha sayde vnto him: I knowe that he shall ryse agayne in the resurreccion at the last daye.

² Then devout men dressed Steven aud made great lamentacion over him.

³⁶ Howbe it David after he had in his tyme fulfilled the will of God he slepte and was layde with his fathers and sawe corrupcion.

¹³ I wolde that ye shuld knowe brethre how that I have often tymes purposed to come vnto you (but have bene let hitherto) to have some frute amonge you as I have amonge other of ye Gentyls.

¹ Brethren I wolde not that ye shuld be ignoraunt of this how yt oure fathers were all vnder a cloude and all passed thorow the see

¹ In spirituall thinges brethren I wolde not have you ignoraunt.

⁶ After that he was sene of moo the five hodred brethren at once: of which many remayne vnto this daye and many are fallen aslepe.

¹⁸ And therto they which are fallen a slepe in Christ are perished. ¹⁹ If in this lyfe only we beleve on christ then are we of all men the miserablest.

⁸ Brethren I wolde not have you ignoraut of oure trouble which happened vnto vs in Asia. For we were greved out of measure passynge strength so greatly that we despeared even of lyfe.

¹⁵ And this saye we vnto you in the worde of the Lorde that we which live and are remayninge in the comminge of the Lorde shall not come yerre they which slepe.

¹⁰ which died for vs: that whether we wake or slepe we shuld lyve togedder with him.

⁴ and saye. Where is the promes of his comynge? For sence ye fathers dyed all thinges cotinue in ye same estate wher in they were at ye begynninge.

⁸ Derely beloved be not ignorant of this one thynge how that one daye is wt the lorde as a thousande yeare and a thousand yeare as one daye.

¹⁹ Gad men of warre shall invade him. And he shall turne them to flyght.

³¹ And he shall sende his angeles with the greate voyce of a trope and they shall gader to gether his chosen from the fower wyndes and from the one ende of the worlde to the other.

¹¹ Wherfore if the sprite of him that raysed vppe Iesus fro deeth dwell in you: even he that raysed vp Christ from deeth shall quycken youre mortall bodyes because that this sprite dwelleth in you.

¹² If Christ be preached how that he rose fro deeth: how saye some that are amoge you that ther is no resurreccion from deeth? ¹³ If ther be no rysynge agayne from deeth: then is Christ not rysen. ¹⁴ If Christ be not rysen then is oure preachinge vayne and youre faith is also in vayne. ¹⁵ Ye and we are founde falce witnesses of God. For we have testifyed of God how that he raysyd vp Christ whom he raysyd not vp yf it be so that the deed ryse not vp agayne. ¹⁶ For yf the deed ryse not agayne then is Christ not rysen agayne. ¹⁷ If it be so yt Christ rose not then is youre fayth in vayne and yet are ye in youre synnes. ¹⁸ And therto they which are fallen a slepe in Christ are perished. ¹⁹ If in this lyfe only we beleve on christ then are we of all men the miserablest. ²⁰ But now is Christ rysen from deeth and is become the fyrst frutes of them that slept. ²¹ For by a man came deeth and by a man came resurreccion fro deeth. ²² For as by Adam all dye: eve so by Christ shall all be made alive ²³ and every man in his awne order. The fyrst is Christ then they yt are Christis at his commynge.

¹³ Seynge then yt we have ye same sprete of fayth accordinge as it is writte: I beleved and therfore have I spoken. We also beleve and therfore speake. ¹⁴ For we knowe that he which raysed vp the Lorde Iesus shall rayse vp vs also by the meanes of Iesus and shall seet vs with you.

²⁰ But oure conversacion is in heven from whence we loke for a saveour enen the lorde Iesus Christ ²¹ which shall chaunge oure vile bodies that they maye be fassioned lyke vnto his glorious body acordinge to the workynge wherby he is able to subdue all thinges vnto hym silfe.

¹³ to make youre hertes stable and vnblameable in holynes before God oure father at the commynge of oure Lorde Iesus Christ with all his sainctes.

¹³ I wolde not brethren have you ignoraut concerninge them which are fallen aslepe that ye sorowe not as other do which have no hope.

¹⁷ then shall we which live and remayne be caught vp with them also in the cloudes to mete the Lorde in ye ayer. And so shall we ever be with the Lorde.

¹⁴ Enoch the seventh from Adam prophesied before of suche saying: Beholde ye lorde shall come with thousandes of sayntes ¹⁵ to geve iudgement agaynst all men and to rebuke all that are vngodly amonge them of all their vngodly dedes which they have vngodly comitted and of all their cruell speakynges which vngodly sinners have spoken agaynst him.

¹⁸ and am alyve and was deed. And beholde I am alyve for ever more and have the kayes of hell and of deeth.

¹³ And I herde a voyce from heven sayinge vnto me: wryte. Blessed are the deed which here after dye in the lorde even soo sayth the sprete: that they maye rest fro their laboures but their workes shall folowe them.

²⁵ He sayd: ye. And when he was come into the house Iesus spake fyrst to him saying What thinkest thou Simon? of whome do ye kynges of the erth take tribute or poll money? of their chyldren or of straungers?

⁵¹ Beholde I shewe you a mystery. We shall not all slepe: but we shall all be chaunged ⁵² and that in a moment and in the twinclinge of an eye at the sounde of the last trompe. For the trompe shall blowe and ye deed shall ryse incorruptible and we shalbe chaunged. ⁵³ For this corruptible must put on incorruptibilite: and this mortall must put on immortalite.

¹⁴ For we knowe that he which raysed vp the Lorde Iesus shall rayse vp vs also by the meanes of Iesus and shall seet vs with you.

¹⁹ For what is oure hope or ioye or croune of reioysynge? are not ye it in the presence of oure lorde Iesus Christ at his comynge?

¹⁶ And the thirde daye in the mornynge there was thunder, and lightenynge and a thicke clowde apo the mounte, ad the voyce of the horne waxed exceadynge lowde, and all the people that was in the hoste was afrayde.

¹⁸ And all the people sawe the thunder ad the lyghteninge and the noyse of the horne, ad howe the mountayne smoked. And whe the people sawe it, they remoued ad stode a ferre of

²¹ He beheld no wikednesse in Iacob nor sawe Idolatrye in Israel: The Lorde his God is with him and the trompe of a kynge amonge the.

²⁷ For the sonne of man shall come in the glory of his father wt his angels: and then shall he rewarde every man accordinge to his dedes.

³⁰ And then shall appere the sygne of the sonne of man in heven. And then shall all the kynreddes of the erth morne and they shall se the sonne of man come in the cloudes of heven with power and greate glorie. ³¹ And he shall sende his angeles with the greate voyce of a trope and they shall gader to gether his chosen from the fower wyndes and from the one ende of the worlde to the other.

³¹ When the sonne of ma cometh in his glorie and all the holy angels wt him then shall he syt vpon the seate of his glorie

⁶⁴ Iesus sayd to him: thou haste sayd. Neverthelesse I saye vnto you hereafter shall ye se the sonne of ma syttinge on the right honde of power and come in the clowddes of the skye.

¹¹ which also sayde: ye men of Galile why stonde ye gasinge vp into heave? This same Iesus which is taken vp fro you in to heaven shall so come even as ye haue sene him goo into heaven.

²³ and every man in his awne order. The fyrst is Christ then they yt are Christis at his commynge.

⁵¹ Beholde I shewe you a mystery. We shall not all slepe: but we shall all be chaunged ⁵² and that in a moment and in the twinclinge of an eye at the sounde of the last trompe. For the trompe shall blowe and ye deed shall ryse incorruptible and we shalbe chaunged.

⁷ and to you which are troubled rest with vs when the lorde Iesus shall shewe him silfe from heven with his myghty angels

¹⁰ Neverthelesse ye daye of the lorde will come as a thefe in ye nyght in the which daye ye hevens shall perisshe with terrible noyes and the elemetes shall melt with heet and the erth with the workes that are therin shall burne.

⁹ Yet Michael the archangell when he strove agaynst the devyll and disputed about the body of Moses durst not geve raylinge sentece but sayde: the Lorde rebuke ye.

⁷ Beholde he commeth with cloudes and all eyes shall se him: and they also which peersed him. And all kinredes of ye erth shall wayle. Even so. Amen.

¹⁰ I was in the sprete on a sondaye and herde behynde me a gret voyce as it had bene of a trompe

¹³ And I behelde and herd an angell flyinge thorowe the myddes of heven sayinge with a lowde voyce: Woo wo to the inhabiters of the erth because of the voyces to come of the trompe of the .iii. angells which were yet to blowe.

⁵ but the wother of the deed men lyved not agayne vntyll the .M. yere were fynisshed. This is that fyrst resurreccion. ⁶ Blessed and holy is he that hath parte in the fyrst resurreccion. For on suche shall the seconde deeth have no power for they shalbe the prestes of God and of Christ and shall raygne with him a .M. yere.

⁶² And Iesus sayde: I am. And ye shall se the sonne of man syt on the ryght honde of power and come in the cloudes of heven.

²⁶ If eny man mynister vnto me let him folowe me and where I am there shall also my minister be. And yf eny man minister vnto me him will my father honoure.

³ And yf I go to prepare a place for you I will come agayne and receave you eve vnto my selfe yt where I am there maye ye be also.

²⁴ Father I will that they which thou hast geven me be with me where I am that they maye se my glory which thou hast geven me. For thou lovedest me before the makynge of the worlde.

⁹ And when he had spoken these thinges whyll they behelde he was take vp and a cloude receaved him vp out of their sight.

³⁹ And assone as they were come out of the water the sprete of the lorde caught awaye Philip yt the chamberlayne sawe him no moore. And he wet on his waye reioysinge:

⁵² and that in a moment and in the twinclinge of an eye at the sounde of the last trompe. For the trompe shall blowe and ye deed shall ryse incorruptible and we shalbe chaunged.

⁸ Neverthelesse we are of good comforte and had lever to be absent from the body and to be present with the lorde.

² I knowe a ma in Christ above .xiiij. yeares agone (whether he weare in ye body I cannot tell or whether he were oute of ye body I canot tell god knoweth) which was take vp into the thyrd heven. ³ And I knowe the same man (whether in the body or out of the body I canot tell god knoweth) ⁴ howe yt he was take vp into paradise and hearde wordes not to be spoke which no man can vtter.

²³ I am constrayned of two thinges: I desyre to be lowsed and to be with Christ which thinge is best of all.

¹³ Neverthelesse we loke for a newe heven and a newe erth accordynge to his promes where in dwelleth rightewesnes.

¹⁴ And I sayde vnto him: lorde thou wottest. And he sayde vnto me: these are they which cam oute of gret tribulacion and made their garmetes large and made them whyte in the bloud of the lambe: ¹⁵ therfore are they in the presence of the seate of God and serve him daye and nyght in hys temple and he that sytteth in the seate wyll dwell amonge them. ¹⁶ They shalt honger no more nether thyrst nether shall the sunne lyght on them nether eny heate: ¹⁷ For the lambe which ys in the myddes of the seate shall fede them and shall ledde them vnto fountaynes of lyuynge water and god shall wype awaye all teares from their eyes.

¹² And after .iii. dayes and an halffe the sprete of lyfe from god entred into the. And they stode vp apo their fete: and greate feare came apon the which sawe them.
