They ate they dranke they bought they solde they planted they bilte. ²⁹ And even the same daye that Lot went out of Zodom it rayned fyre and brymstone from heven and destroyed them all. ³⁰ After these ensamples shall it be in the daye when the sonne of man shall appere.

³ how shall we escape yf we despyse so great saluacio which at ye fyrst bega to be preached of ye lorde him silfe and afterwarde was cofermed vnto vs warde by the ye hearde it

²³ and vnto the congregacion of ye fyrst borne sonnes which are writte in heven and to God the iudge of all and to the spretes of iust and parfecte men

⁴ For yf god spared not the angels that synned but cast them doune into hell and delyuered them in chaynes of darknes to be kept vnto iudgement.

⁷ And as moche as she gloryfied her silfe and lyved wantanly so moche poure ye in for her of punysshment and sorowe for she sayde in her herte: I sytt beinge a quene and am no wyddowe and shall se no sorowe. ⁸ Therfore shall her plages come at one daye deeth and sorowe and honger and she shallbe brent with fyre: for stronge ys the lorde god which iudgeth her.

⁶ Lest the executer of bloude folowe after the sleyer while his hert is whote and ouertake him, because the waye is longe, and slee him, and yet there is no cause worthy of deeth in him, in as moch as he hated not his neghbour in tyme passed.

¹⁸ to open their eyes that they myght turne from darcknes vnto lyght and from the power of Satan vnto God that they maye receave forgevenes of synnes and inheritauce amonge the which are sanctified by fayth in me.

¹¹ This also we knowe I mean the season howe that it is tyme that we shuld now awake oute of slepe. For now is oure salvacion nearer then when we beleved. ¹² The nyght is passed and the daye is come nye. Let us therfore cast awaye the dedes of darcknes and let vs put on the (Armoure) of lyght. 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:

¹³ Which hath delivered vs from the power of dercknes and hath translated vs in to the kyngdome of his dere sone

⁹ But ye are a chosyn generacion a royall presthod an holy nacio and a peculiar people that ye shuld shewe the vertues of him that called you out of darknes into hys marvelous light ¹⁰ which in tyme past were not a people yet are now the people of God: which were not vnder mercye but now have obteyned mercye.

⁸ The olde comaundement is the worde which ye hearde from the begynnynge. Agayne a newe comaundement I write vnto you a thynge that is true in him and also in you: for the darknes is past and the true lyght now shyneth.

⁸ And the lorde comended the vniust stewarde because he had done wysly. For ye chyldren of this worlde are in their kynde wyser then ye chyldren of lyght.

³⁶ Whyll ye have light beleve on the light that ye maye be the chyldren of light. These thinges spake Iesus and departed and hyd him silfe fro them.

⁸ Ye were once dercknes but are now light in the Lorde. Walke as chyldren of light.

⁶ And ye master of the sheppe came to him and sayd vn to hi why slomberest thou? vpp and call vn to thy god that God maye thinke on vs that we perish not.

²⁵ But whyll men slepte ther came his foo and sowed tares amoge ye wheate and wet his waye.

⁴² Wake therfore because ye knowe not what houre youre master wyll come.

⁵ Whill the brydgrome taryed all slombred and slepte.

³⁸ Then sayd Iesus vnto them: my soule is hevy even vnto the deeth. Tary ye here and watche wt me.

⁴⁰ And he came vnto the disciples and founde them a slepe and sayde to Peter: what coulde ye not watche with me one houre: ⁴¹ watche and praye that ye fall not into temptacion. The spirite is willynge but the flesshe is weake.

³⁷ And that I saye vnto you I saye vnto all men watche.

³⁷ And he cam and founde the slepinge and sayd to Peter: Simon slepest thou? Couldest not thou watche with me one houre? ³⁸ watche ye and praye leest ye entre into temptacion: ye sprete is redy but ye flessh is weeke.

³⁷ Happy are those servauntes which the Lorde when he cometh shall fynde wakynge. Verely I saye vnto you he will gerdde him selfe about and make them sit doune to meate and walke by and minister vnto them.

³⁹ This vnderstonde that yf the good man of the housse knewe what houre ye these wolde come he wolde suerly watche: and not suffer his housse to be broken vp.

³⁶ Watche therfore continually and praye that ye maye obtayne grace to flye all this that shall come and that ye maye stonde before the sonne of man.

⁴⁶ and sayde vnto them: Why slepe ye? Ryse and praye lest ye fall into temptacion.

³¹ Therfore awake and remember that by the space of .iii. yeares I ceased not to warne every one of you both nyght and daye with teares.

¹¹ This also we knowe I mean the season howe that it is tyme that we shuld now awake oute of slepe. For now is oure salvacion nearer then when we beleved. ¹² The nyght is passed and the daye is come nye. Let us therfore cast awaye the dedes of darcknes and let vs put on the (Armoure) of lyght. 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: ¹⁴ but put ye on the Lorde Iesus Christ. And make not provision for the flesshe to fulfyll ye lustes of it.

³⁴ Awake truely out of slepe and synne not. For some have not the knowlege of God. I speake this vnto youre rebuke.

¹³ Watche ye stonde fast in the fayth auyte you lyke men and be stronge.

¹⁴ Wherfore he sayth: awake thou that slepest and stond vp from deeth and Christ shall geve the light.

¹⁸ And praye all wayes with all maner prayer and supplicacio: and yt in the sprete: and watch thervnto wt all instance and supplicacio for all saynctes

⁵ Let youre softenes be knowen vnto all men. The lorde is even at honde.

² Continue in prayer and watch in the same with thankes

⁸ But let vs which are of the daye be sober armed with the brest plate of fayth and love and with hope of salvacio as an helmet.

⁹ Lykwyse also the wemen that they araye them selves in comlye aparell with shamfastnes and discrete behaveour not with broyded heare other golde or pearles or costly araye:

¹⁵ Notwithstondynge thorow bearinge of chyldre they shalbe saved so they continue in fayth love and holynes with discrecion.

² Ye and a bisshope must be fautlesse the husband of one wyfe sober discrete honestly aparelled harberous apt to teache

¹¹ Even so must their wynes be honest not evyll speakers: but sober and faythfull in all thinges.

⁵ But watch thou in all thynges and suffre adversitie and do the worke of an evangelist fulfill thyne office vnto the vtmost.

⁶ Yonge men lykwyse exhorte that they be sobre mynded.

¹² and teacheth vs that we shuld denye vngodlynes and wordly lustes and that we shuld live sobre mynded righteously and godly in this present worlde

¹³ Wherfore gyrde vp ye loynes of youre myndes be sober and trust perfectly on the grace yt is brought vnto you by the declaringe of Iesus Christ

⁷ The ende of all thinges is at honde. Be ye therfore discrete and sober yt ye maye be apte to prayers.

⁸ Be sober and watch for youre adversary ye devyll as a rorynge lion walketh about sekynge whom he maye devoure:

² Be awake and strength the thynges which remayne that are redy to dye. For I have not founde thy workes perfaycte before god.

¹⁵ These are not dronken as ye suppose: for it is yet but the thyrde houre of ye daye.

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:

¹³ and receave the rewarde of vnrightewesnes.They count it pleasure to live deliciously for a season. Spottes they are and filthines livinge at pleasure and in disceaveable wayes feastynge with you:

² by who we have awaye in thorow fayth vnto this grace wherin we stonde aud reioyce in hope of the prayse that shalbe geven of God. ³ Nether do we so only: but also we reioyce in tribulacion. For we know that tribulacion bringeth pacience ⁴ pacience bringeth experience experience bringeth hope. ⁵ And hope maketh not ashamed for the love of God is sheed abrod in oure hertes by the holy goost which is geven vnto vs.

²⁴ For we are savyd by hope. But hope that is sene is no hope. For how can a ma hope for that which he seyth? ²⁵ But and yf we hope for that we se not then do we with pacience abyde for it.

¹³ Now abideth fayth hope and love even these thre: but the chefe of these is love.

⁷ in ye wordes of trueth in the power of God by ye armoure of rightewesnes on ye right honde and on the lyfte

⁵ We loke for and hope in the sprite to be iustified thorow fayth.

⁸ Ye were once dercknes but are now light in the Lorde. Walke as chyldren of light. ⁹ For the frute of the sprete is in all goodnes rightewesnes and trueth.

¹¹ Put on ye armour of God that ye maye stonde stedfast agaynst ye crafty assautes of the devyll.

¹³ For this cause take vnto you the armoure of God yt ye maye be able to resist in the evyll daye and to stonde perfect in all thinges. ¹⁴ Stonde therfore and youre loynes gyrd aboute with veritie havinge on the brest plate of rightewesnes ¹⁵ and shood with showes prepared by the gospell of peace. ¹⁶ Above all take to you the shelde of fayth wherwith ye maye quenche all ye fyrie dartes of the wicked. ¹⁷ And take the helmet of salvacio and the swearde of the sprete which is the worde of God. ¹⁸ And praye all wayes with all maner prayer and supplicacio: and yt in the sprete: and watch thervnto wt all instance and supplicacio for all saynctes

²³ Peace be with the brethren and love with fayth from God the father and from the Lorde Iesu Christ.

⁵ Ye are all the childre of light and the children of ye daye. We are not of ye nyght nether of darcknes.

¹⁶ Oure lorde Iesu Christ hym silfe and God oure father which hath loved vs and hath geven vs everlastynge consolacion and good hope thorowe grace

¹⁹ which hope we have as an ancre of the soule both sure and stedfast. Which hope also entreth in into tho thynges which are with in the vayle

³⁵ Cast not awaye therfore youre confidence which hath great rewarde to recopence. ³⁶ For ye have nede of paciece that after ye have done ye will of god ye myght receave the promes.

³ Blessed be God ye father of oure Lorde Iesus Christ which thorow is aboundant mercie begat vs agayne vnto a lively hope by the resurreccion of Iesus Christ fro deeth ⁴ to enioye an inheritaunce immortall and vndefiled and that purifieth not reserved in heven for you ⁵ which are kept by the power of God thorow fayth vnto salvacion which salvacion is prepared all redy to be shewed in the last tyme

⁹ But ye are a chosyn generacion a royall presthod an holy nacio and a peculiar people that ye shuld shewe the vertues of him that called you out of darknes into hys marvelous light

⁷ but and yf we walke in (lyght) even as he is in lyght then have we fellishippe with him and the bloud of Iesus Christ his sonne clenseth vs from all synne.

¹ Beholde what love the father hath shewed on vs that we shuld be called the sonnes of god. For this cause the worlde knoweth you not because it knoweth not him. ² Derely beloved now are we ye sonnes of God and yet it dothe not appere what we shal be. But we knowe that when it shall appere we shal be lyke him. For we shall se him as he is. ³ And every man that hath thys hope in him pourgeth him silfe even as he ys pure.

¹⁶ Yet in very dede for this cause haue I sterred the vpp, for to shewe my power in the, and to declare my name thorow out all the worlde.

²⁴ The sonne of ma goeth as it is written of him: but wo be to yt ma by whom ye sonne of man shalbe betrayed. It had bene good for that man yf he had never bene borne.

²⁰ It is written in the boke of Psalmes: His habitacio be voyde and no man be dwellinge therin: and his bisshoprycke let another take.

²⁵ that the one maye take the roume of this ministracion and apostleshippe from the which Iudas by transgression fell that he myght go to his awne place.

⁴⁸ The getyls hearde and were glad and glorified the worde of ye Lorde and beleved: eve as many as were ordeyned vnto eternall lyfe.

¹¹ yeer the chyldren were borne when they had nether done good nether bad: that the purpose of God which is by election myght stonde ¹² it was sayde vnto her not by the reason of workes but by grace of ye caller: the elder shall serve the yonger. ¹³ As it is written: Iacob he loved but Esau he hated. ¹⁴ What shall we saye then? is there eny vnrightewesses with God? God forbyd. ¹⁵ For he sayth to Moses: I will shewe mercye to who I shewe mercy: and will have compassion on whom I have copassion. ¹⁶ So lieth it not then in a mans will or cunnynge but in ye mercye of god. ¹⁷ For the scripture sayth vnto Pharao: Even for this same purpose have I stered ye vp to shewe my power on ye and that my name myght be declared thorow out all the worlde. ¹⁸ So hath he mercye on whom he will and whom he will he maketh hearde herted. ¹⁹ Thou wilt saye then vnto me: why then blameth he vs yet? For who can resist his will? ²⁰ But o man what arte thou which disputest with God? Shall the worke saye to the workeman: why hast thou made me on this fassion? ²¹ Hath not the potter power over the claye even of the same lompe to make one vessell vnto honoure and a nother vnto dishonoure? ²² Even so God willynge to shewe his wrath and to make his power knowen suffered with longe pacience the vessels of wrath ordeyned to damnacion ²³ that he myght declare ye ryches of his glory on the vessels of mercye which he had prepayred vnto glorie:

⁷ What then? Israel hath not obtayned that that he sought. No but yet the election hath obtayned it. The remnaunt are blynded

³⁰ for loke as ye in tyme passed have not beleved God yet have now obtayned mercy thorow their vnbelefe:

¹⁰ and for to loke for his sonne from heven whom he raysed from deeth: I mean Iesus which delivereth vs from wrath to come.

³ yt no ma shulde be moved in these affliccios. For ye youre selves knowe that we are even apoynted therevnto.

¹³ But we are bounde to geve thankes alwaye to god for you brethren beloved of the lorde for because that God hath from the begynnynge chosen you to saluacion thorow sanctifyinge of the sprete and thorowe belevynge the trueth: ¹⁴ whervnto he called you byoure gospell to obtayne ye glorye that cometh of oure lord Iesu Christ.

¹³ when before I was a blasphemar and a persecuter and a tyraut. But I obtayned mercy because I dyd it ignorautly thorow vnbelefe.

¹⁶ Notwithstondinge for this cause was mercy geve vnto me that Iesus Christ shuld fyrst shewe on me all longe pacience vnto the ensample of them which shall in tyme to come beleve on him vnto eternall lyfe.

¹⁰ Herefore I suffre all thinges for ye electes sakes that they myght also obtayne that saluacion which is in Christ Iesu with eternall glory.

¹⁹ But the sure grounde of god remayneth and hath this seale: the lorde knoweth them that are his and let every man that calleth on the name of Christ departe from iniquite. ²⁰ Not withstondinge in a greate housse are not only vesselles of golde and of silver: but also of wood and of erthe some for honoure and some vnto dishonoure.

⁸ and a stone to stomble at and a rocke to offende them which stomble at the worde and beleve not that where on they were set.

¹⁰ which in tyme past were not a people yet are now the people of God: which were not vnder mercye but now have obteyned mercye.

¹ Simon Peter a seruaunt and an Apostle of Iesus Christ to them which have obtayned lyke precious fayth with vs in the rightewesnes that commeth of oure God and savioure Iesus Christ.

³ and thorow coveteousnes shall they with fayned wordes make marchandyse of you whose iudgement is not farre of and their dampnacion slepeth not.

⁴ For ther are certayne craftely crept in of which it was write afore tyme vnto soche iudgemet. They are vngodly and turne the grace of oure God vnto wantannes and denye God the only Lorde and oure Lorde Iesus Christ.

²⁸ eve as the sonne of man came not to be ministred vnto but to minister and to geve his lyfe for the redempcion of many.

¹¹ I am ye good shepeheerd. The good shepeheerd geveth his lyfe for ye shepe.

¹⁵ As my father knoweth me: even so knowe I my father. And I geve my lyfe for the shepe:

¹⁷ Therfore doth my father love me because I put my lyfe from me that I myght take it agayne.

¹³ Gretter love then this hath no man then that a man bestowe his lyfe for his frendes.

⁶ For when we were yet weake accordynge to ye tyme: Christ dyed for vs which were vngodly. ⁷ Yet scace will eny man dye for a rightewes man. Paraventure for a good ma durst a man dye. ⁸ But God setteth out his love that he hath to vs seinge that whyll we were yet synners Christ dyed for vs.

³⁴ who then shall condempne? it is Christ which is deed ye rather which is rysen agayne which is also on the ryght honde of God and maketh intercession for vs.

⁸ For none of vs lyveth his awne servaut: nether doeth anye of vs dye his awne servaunt. Yf we lyve we lyve to be at ye lordes will. And yf we dye we dye at ye lordes will. Whether we lyve therfore or dye we are the lordes. ⁹ For Christ therfore dyed and rose agayne and revived that he myght be lorde both of deed and quicke.

³ For fyrst of all I delivered vnto you that which I receaved: how that Christ dyed for oure synnes agreinge to the scriptures:

¹⁵ and that he dyed for all that they which live shuld not hence forth live vnto them selves but vnto hym whith died for them and rose agayne.

²¹ for he hath made him to be synne for vs which knewe no synne that we by his meanes shuld be that rightewesnes which before God is aloved.

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.

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.

⁶ which gave him silfe a raunsome for all men that it shuld be testified at his tyme

¹⁴ which gave him silfe for vs to redeme vs from all vnrightewesnes and to pourge vs a peculiar people vnto him silfe fervently geven vnto good workes.

²⁴ which his awne silfe bare oure synnes in his body on the tree that we shuld be delyvered from synne and shuld lyve in rightewesnes. By whose strypes ye were healed.

¹⁸ For as moche as Christ hath once suffered for synnes ye iuste for ye vniuste forto bringe vs to God and was kylled as pertayninge to the flesshe: but was quyckened in the sprete.

¹⁹ Let vs folowe tho thinges which make for peace and thinges wherwith one maye edyfie another.

² Let every man please his neghbour vnto his welth and edyfyinge.

¹⁴ I my selfe am full certified of you my brethren that ye youre selves are full of goodnes and filled with all knowledge and are able to exhorte one another.

²³ All thynges are lawfull to me but all thinges edifye not.

⁵ I wolde that ye all spake with tonges: but rather that ye prophesied. For greater is he that prophisieth? then he yt speaketh with tonges except he expounde it also that the congregacion maye have edifyinge.

¹² Eve so ye (for as moche as ye covet spretuall giftes) seke that ye maye have plentye vnto ye edifyinge of the congregacion.

²⁹ Let the Prophetes speake two at once or thre at once and let other iudge.

¹⁹ Agayne thynke ye yt we excuse oure selves? We speake in Christ in the sight of God. But we do all thynges dearly beloved for youre edifyinge.

¹² yt the sainctes might have all thinges necessarie to worke and minister with all to the edifyinge of the body of christ

¹⁶ in whom all the body ys coupled and knet togedder in every ioynt wherwith one ministreth to another (accordinge to the operacion as every parte hath his measure) and increaseth the body vnto the edyfyinge of it silfe in love.

²⁹ Let no filthy comunicacion procede out of youre mouthes: but yt whych is good to edefye with all when nede ys: that it maye have faveour with the hearers.

¹⁰ Ye and that thinge verely ye do vnto all the brethre which are thorow oute all Macedonia. We beseche you brethren that ye encreace more and more

⁴ nether geve hede to fables and genealogies which are endlesse and brede doutes more then godly edyfyinge which is by fayth:

¹³ but exhorte one another dayly whill is it called to daye lest eny of you wexe harde herted thorow ye deceytfullnesse of sinne

²⁵ and let vs not forsake the felishippe that we have amoge oure selves as the maner of some is: but let vs exhorte one another and that so moche the more because ye se that the daye draweth nye.

¹² Wherfore I will not be necgligent to put you allwayes in remembraunce of soche thinges though that ye knowe them youre selves and be also stablisshed in the present trueth.

²⁰ But ye derlye beloved edyfie yovre selves in youre most holy fayth prayinge in the holy goost

³⁷ Wherfore praye the Lorde of the harvest to sende forthe laborers into hys harvest. ³⁸ And he called his .xii. disciples vnto hym and gave them power over vnclene sprites to cast them oute and to heale all maner of sicknesses and all maner of deseases.

¹ After these thinges the Lorde apoynted other seventie also and sent them two and two before him into every citie and place whither he him silfe wolde come. ² And he sayde vnto them the harvest is greate: but the laborers are feawe. Praye therfore the Lorde of ye harvest to send forth laborers into his hervest.

⁷ And in ye same housse tary still eatinge and drinkinge soche as they have. For the laborer is worthy of his ewarde. Go not fro housse to housse:

³⁸ I sent you to repe yt whero ye bestowed no laboure. Other men laboured and ye are entred into their labours.

²⁸ Take hede therfore vnto youre selves and to all the flocke wherof the holy goost hath made you oversears to rule the congregacion of God which he hath purchased with his bloud.

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.

⁹ We are goddis labourers ye are goddis husbandrye ye are goddis byldynge.

²⁸ And God hath also ordeyned in the congregacion fyrst the Apostels secodarely prophetes thyrdly teachers then the that do miracles: after that the gyftes of healynge helpers governers diversite of tonges.

¹⁰ But by the grace of God I am that I am. And his grace which is in me was not in vayne: but I labored moare aboundauntly then they all not I but the grace of God which is with me.

¹⁶ I beseche you yt ye be obedient vnto soche and to all that helpe and laboure.

¹⁸ They have comforted my sprete and youres. Loke therfore that ye knowe them that are soche.

⁹ Wherfore whether we be at home or from home we endeuoure oure selves to please him.

¹ We as helpers therfore exhorte you yt ye receave not the grace of god in (vayne)

²³ They are ye ministers of Christ (I speake as a fole) I am moare: In labours moare aboundat: In strypes above measure: In preson more plenteously: In deeth ofte.

¹¹ I am in feare of you lest I have bestowed on you laboure in vayne.

¹⁶ holdinge fast the worde of lyfe vnto my reioysynge in ye daye of Christ that I have not runne in vayne nether have labored in vayne.

¹⁹ I trust in the lorde Iesus for to sende Timotheus shortly vnto you that I also maye be of good comforte when I knowe what case ye stonde in.

²⁹ Wherin I also laboure and stryve even as farforth as hys workynge worketh in me myghtely.

⁹ Ye remember brethre oure laboure and travayle. For we laboured daye and nyght because we wolde not be greveous vnto eny of you and preached vnto you ye gospell of God.

¹⁴ We desyre you brethre warne them that are vnruly comforte the feble mynded forbeare the weake have continuall pacience towarde all men.

¹⁷ The elders yt rule wel are worthy of double honoure most specially they which laboure in ye worde and in teachinge. ¹⁸ For the scripture sayth: Thou shalt not mousell the mouth of the oxe that treadeth out the corne. And the labourer is worthy of his rewarde.

²⁰ Them that synne rebuke openly that other maye feare.

⁶ The husbandma that laboreth must fyrst receave of the frutes.

³ but hath opened his worde at ye tyme apoynted thorow preachynge which preachynge is committed vnto me by the commaundement of god oure saveoure.

⁵ For this cause left I ye in Creta that thou shuldest performe that which was lackynge and shuldest ordeyne elders in every citie as I apoynted the.

¹⁵ These thinges speake and exhorte and rebuke with all commaundynge Se that no man despise the.

⁷ Remember them which have the oversight of you which have declared vnto you the worde of god. The ende of whose conversacion se that ye looke vpon and folowe their fayth.

¹⁷ Obeye the that have the oversight of you and submit youre selves to them for they watch for youre soules even as they that must geve a comptes: that they maye do it with ioye and not with grefe. For that is an vnproffitable thynge for you.

² se that ye fede Christes flocke which is amonge you takynge the oversyght of them not as though ye were compelled therto but willyngly: not for the desyre of filthy lucre but of a good mynde. ³ not as though ye were lordes over the parisshes: but that ye be a insample to the flocke.

²⁰ and ye mystery of the vii. starres which thou sawest in my ryght honde and the vii. golden candelstyckes. The vii. stares are the messengers of the vii. congregacios: And the vii. candlestyckes which thou sawest are the vii. congregacions.

³ and dydest wasshe thy self. And hast pacience: and for my names sake hast labored and hast not faynted.

⁸ And vnto the angell of the congregacion of Smyrna wryte: These thynges sayth he that is fyrst and the laste which was deed and is alive.

¹² And to the messenger of the congregacion in Pergamos wryte: This sayth he which hath ye sharpe swearde with two edges.

¹⁸ And vnto the messenger of the congregacion of Theatira write: This sayth the sonne of god which hath his eyes lyke vnto a flame of fyre whose fete are like brasse:

¹ And wryte vnto the messenger of the congregacion of Sardis: this sayth he that hath the sprete of god and the vii. starres. I knowe thy workes thou haste a name that thou lvyest and thou art deed

⁷ And wryte vnto ye tydinges bringer of ye cogregacio of Philadelphia: this sayth he yt is holy and true which hath ye keye of Dauid: which openyth and noma shutteth and shutteth and no ma openeth.

¹⁴ And vnto the messenger of ye congregacio which is in Laodicia wryte: This sayth (ame) the faythfull and true witnes ye begynninge of the creatures of God.

²⁴ So sent he his brethern awaye and they departed. And he sayde vnto them: se that ye fall nor out by the waye.

⁴⁰ He that receavith you receavith me: and he that receavith me receavith him that sent me.

³ And when he hearde of Iesu he sent vnto him the elders of the Iewes besechinge him yt he wolde come and heale his servaunt. ⁴ And they came to Iesus and besought him instantly sayinge: He is worthi that thou shuldest do this for him. ⁵ For he loveth oure nacion and hath bilt vs a sinagoge

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.

¹⁷ This comaunde I you that ye love to gedder.

¹⁷ As it is wrytten: I have made the a father to many nacions even before god whom thou hast beleved which quyckeneth the deed and called those thinges which be not as though they were. ¹⁸ Which Abraham contrary to hope beleved in hope that he shuld be the father of many nacions accordynge to that which was spoken: ¹⁹ So shall thy seed be. And he faynted not in the fayth nor yet consydered hys awne body which was now deed even when he was almost an hondred yeare olde: nether yet that Sara was past chyldeberinge.

¹ Let men this wyse esteme vs eve as the ministers of Christ and disposers of ye secretes of God. ² Furthermore it is requyred of the disposers that they be founde faithfull.

⁷ who goeth a warfare eny tyme at his awne cost? who planteth a vynearde and eateth not of the frute? Who fedeth a flocke and eateth not of the mylke? ⁸ Saye I these thinges after the manner of men? Or sayth not the lawe the same also? ⁹ For it ys written in the lawe of Moses. Thou shall not mosell the mouth of the oxe that treadeth out the corne. Doth God take thought for oxen? ¹⁰ Ether sayth he it not all to gedder for oure sakes? For oure sakes no doute this is written: that he which eareth shuld eare in hope: and that he which thressheth in hope shuld be parttaker of his hope. ¹¹ Yf we sowe vnto you spirituall thynges: is it a greate thynge yf we reepe youre carnall thynges

¹¹ Finallye brethren fare ye well be perfect be of good comforte be of one mynde lyve in peace and the God of love and peace shalbe with you.

¹⁴ And my temptacion which I suffered by reason of my flesshe ye despysed not nether abhorred: but receaved me as an angell of god: ye as Christ Iesus.

²² But ye frute of sprete is loue ioye peace longesufferinge getlenes goodnes faythfulnes

¹⁴ Embrace peace with all men and holynes: with out the which no man shall se the Lorde.

¹⁸ yee and the frute of rightewesnes is sowen in peace of them that mayntene peace.

²⁰ a brosed rede shall he not breacke and flaxe that begynneth to burne he shall not queche tyll he sende forth iudgement vnto victory

³² bnt I have prayed for the that thy faith fayle not. And when thou arte converted strengthe thy brethre.

¹⁵ When they had dyned Iesus sayde to Simon Peter: Simon Ioana lovest thou me more then these? He sayde vnto him: ye Lorde thou knowest that I love the. He sayde vnto him: fede my lambes. ¹⁶ He sayde to him agayne the seconde tyme: Simo Ioana lovest thou me? He sayde vnto him: ye lorde thou knowest that I love ye. He sayde vnto him: fede my shepe. ¹⁷ He sayde vnto him ye thyrde tyme: Simon Ioanna lovest thou me? And Peter sorowed because he sayde to him ye thyrde tyme lovest thou me and sayde vnto him: Lorde thou knowest all thinge thou knowest that I love the. Iesus sayde vnto him: fede my shepe.

²⁷ For I have kepte nothinge backe: but have shewed you all the counsell of God.

¹ I beseche you therfore brethre by ye mercyfulnes of God that ye make youre bodyes aquicke sacrifise holy and acceptable vnto God which is youre resonable seruynge of god.

¹ Him that is weake in the fayth receave vnto you not in disputynge and troublynge his conscience.

¹ We which are stronge ought to beare the fraylnes of them which are weake and not to stonde in oure awne cosaytes. ² Let every man please his neghbour vnto his welth and edyfyinge. ³ For Christ pleased not him selfe: but as it is written. The rebukes of the which rebuked the fell one me.

¹⁴ I write not these thinges to shame you: but as my beloved sonnes I warne you.

⁴ Love suffreth longe and is corteous. Love envieth not. Love doth not frowardly swelleth not dealeth ⁵ not dishonestly seketh not her awne is not provoked to anger thynketh not evyll

¹ Brethren yf eny ma be fallen by chauce into eny faute: ye which are spirituall helpe to amende him in the sprete of meknes: consyderynge thy silfe lest thou also be tempted. ² Beare ye one anothers burthe and so fulfill the lawe of Christ.

² in all humblenes of mynde and meknes and longe sufferynge forbearinge one another thorowe love

³² Be ye courteouse one to another and mercifull forgevynge one another eve as god for Christes sake forgave you.

²⁸ whom we preach warnynge all men and teachinge all men in all wisdome to make all men parfect in Christ Iesu.

¹² Now therfore as electe of god holy and beloved put on tender mercie kyndnes humblenes of myndes meknes longe sufferynge ¹³ forbearynge one another and forgevynge one another if eny man have a quarrell to a nother even as Christ forgave you even so do ye.

⁷ but we were tender amonge you even as a norsse cheressheth her children ⁸ so was oure affeccion towarde you oure good will was to have dealte vnto you not the gospell of God only: but also oure awne soules because ye were deare vnto vs. ⁹ Ye remember brethre oure laboure and travayle. For we laboured daye and nyght because we wolde not be greveous vnto eny of you and preached vnto you ye gospell of God. ¹⁰ Ye are witnesses and so is god how holyly and iustly and vnblameable we behaved oure selves amonge you that beleve: ¹¹ as ye knowe how that we exhorted and comforted and besought every one of you as a father his childre ¹² that ye wolde walke worthy of God which hath called you vnto his kyngdome and glory.

⁶ We requyre you brethren in the name of oure lorde Iesu Christ yt ye with drawe youre selves from every brother that walketh inordinatly and not after the institucio which ye receaved of vs. ⁷ Ye youre selves knowe how ye ought to folowe vs. For we behaved not oure selves inordinatly amonge you.

¹¹ We have hearde saye no doute that ther are some which walke amonge you inordinatly and worke not at all but are besy bodies. ¹² Them that are soche we commaunde and exhorte by oure lorde Iesu Christ that they worke with quyetnes and eate their awne breed. ¹³ Brethren be not wery in well doynge.

³ not dronke no fighter not geve to filthy lucre: but gentle abhorrynge fightynge abhorrynge coveteousnes

¹¹ But thou which arte the man of god flye soche thynges Folowe rightewesnes godlines love pacience and meknes.

²⁴ But the servaunt of the lorde must not stryve: but must be peasable vnto all men and apte to teache and one that can suffre: ²⁵ the evyll in meknes and can informe them that resist yf that god at eny tyme will geve them repentauce for to knowe the trueth:

² preache the worde be fervent be it in season or out of season. Improve rebuke exhorte with all longe sufferinge and doctryne.

⁶ Yf eny be fautelesse the husbande of one wyfe havynge faythfull childre which are not selandred of royote nether are disobediet.

¹⁰ For ther are many disobedient and talkers of vanite and disceavers of myndes namely they of the circumcisio

² which can have compassion on the ignoraunt and on them that are out of the waye because that he him silfe also is compased with infirmitie: ³ For the which infirmities sake he is bounde to offer for synnes as well for hys awne parte as for the peoples.

¹² Stretch forthe therfore agayne the hondes which were let doune and the weake knees

³ Remember them that are in bondes even as though ye were bounde with them. Be myndfull of them which are in adversitie as ye which are yet in youre bodies.

⁴ whe thou metest thine enimies oxe or asse goynge a straye, thou shalt brynge the to him agayne. ⁵ Yf thou se thine enimies asse synke vnder his burthen, thou shalt not passe by and let him alone: but shalt helpe him to lyfte him vp agayne.

¹⁸ Thou shalt not avenge thy selfe nor bere hate in thy mynde against the childern of thi people, but shalt loue thy neghboure eue as thy self I am the Lorde.

²⁰ But in all thinge folowe righteousnesse, that thou mayst lyue and enioye the londe which the Lord thi God geueth the.

³⁹ But I saye to you that ye resist not wroge. But whosoever geve the a blowe on thy right cheke tourne to him the other.

⁴⁴ But I saye vnto you love youre enimies. Blesse the that coursse you. Do good to them that hate you. Praye for them which doo you wronge and persecute you ⁴⁵ that ye maye be ye chyldern of youre father that is in heauen: for he maketh his sunne to aryse on ye yvell and on the good and sendeth his reyn on the iuste and vniuste.

³⁵ Wherfore love ye youre enemys do good and lende lokynge for nothinge agayne and youre rewarde shalbe greate and ye shalbe the chyldren of the hyest: for he is kynde vnto the vnkynde and to the evyll.

⁹ Let love be wt out dissimulacion. Hate that which is evyll and cleave vnto that which is good.

¹⁷ Recopence to no ma evyll fore evyll. Provyde afore honde thinges honest in ye syght of all men. ¹⁸ Yf it be possible howbe it of youre parte have peace with all men. ¹⁹ Derly beloued avenge not youre selves but geve roume vnto the wrath of God. For it is written: vengeaunce is myne and I will rewarde saith the lorde. ²⁰ Terfore yf thyn enemy honger fede him: yf he thurst geve him drinke. For in so doynge thou shalt heape coles of fyre on his heed: ²¹ Be not overcome of evyll: But overcome evyll wt goodnes.

⁷ Now therfore ther is vtterly a faute amonge you because ye goo to lawe one with another. Why rather suffer ye not wronge? why rather suffre ye not youre selves to be robbed?

¹ Labour for love and covet spretuall giftes: and most chefly forto prophesye.

¹⁰ If Timotheus come se yt he be with out feare with you. For he worketh the worke of the Lorde as I doo.

¹⁰ Whill we have therfore tyme let vs do good vnto all men and specially vnto them which are of the housholde of fayth.

¹⁵ Take hede therfore that ye walke circuspectly: not as foles: but as wyse

³³ Neverthelesse do ye so that every one of you love his wyfe truely even as him silfe. And let ye wyfe se that she feare her husbade.

¹² that ye wolde walke worthy of God which hath called you vnto his kyngdome and glory.

²⁴ But the servaunt of the lorde must not stryve: but must be peasable vnto all men and apte to teache and one that can suffre:

² that they speake evyll of no ma that they be no fyghters but softe shewynge all meknes vnto all men.

²² And for as moche as ye have purified youre soules thorowe the sprete in obeyinge the trueth for to love brotherly withouten saynynge se that ye love one another with a pure hert fervently:

¹⁷ Honoure all men. Love brotherly felishippe. Feare god and honour the kynge.

²² which dyd no sinne nether was ther gyle founde in his mouth: ²³ which when he was reviled reviled not agayne: whe he suffered he threatened not: but comitted the cause to him that iudgeth ryghteously

⁹ not redringe evyll for evyll nether rebuke for rebuke: but contrary wyse blesse remembringe yt ye are thervnto called even yt ye shuld be heyres of blessinge.

¹¹ Let him eschue evyll and do good: let him seke peace and ensue it. ¹² For ye eyes of ye Lorde are over ye righteous and his eares are open vnto their prayers. But ye face of the Lorde beholdeth the that do evyll. ¹³ Moreover who is it that will harme you yf ye folowe yt which is good?

¹¹ 11Beloved folowe not that which is evyll but that which is good. He that doeth well is of God: but he yt doeth evyll seith not God.

¹⁰ And I fell at his fete to worshyppe him. And he sayde vnto me se thou do it not. For I am thy felowe seruaunt and one of thy brethern and of them that have the testimony of Iesus. Worshyppe God. For the testymony of Iesus ys the sprete of prophesy.

⁹ And he sayd vnto me: se thou do it not for I am thy feloweservaunt and the feloweservaunt of thy brethren the prophettes and of them which kepe the sayinges of this boke. But worshippe God.

¹² Reioyce and be glad for greate is youre rewarde in heven. + For so persecuted they ye Prophetes which were before youre dayes.

²⁰ Neverthelesse in this reioyse not that ye spretes are vnder youre power: but reioyse be cause youre names are wrytten in heaven.

¹² Reioyce in hope. Be paciet in tribulacion. Continue in prayer.

¹⁰ as sorowynge and yet alwaye mery: as poore and yet make many ryche: as havynge nothynge and yet possessynge all thynges.

⁴ Reioyce in the Lorde alwaye and agayne I saye reioyce.

¹ And he put forth a similitude vnto the signifyinge that men ought alwayes to praye and not to be wery

²⁰ gevinge thankes all wayes for all thinges vnto God the father in the name of oure Lorde Iesu Christ:

⁶ Be not carfull: but in all thynges shewe youre peticion vnto god in prayer and suplicacion wt gevynge of thankes.

¹⁷ And all thynges (whatsoever ye do in worde or dede) do in the name of the lorde Iesu gevinge thakes to god the father by him.

³ For this is the will of god even that ye shuld be holy and that ye shuld abstayne from fornicacion

¹⁵ For by him offer we the sacrifice of laude allwayes to god: that is to saye the frute of those lyppes which confesse his name.

¹⁵ For so is the will of god that ye put to sylence the ygnorancie of the folyshe men:

² that he hence forwarde shuld lyve as moche tyme as remayneth in the flesshe: not after ye lustes of men but after the will of God.

¹⁷ And the worlde vannyssheth awaye and the lust therof: but he that fulfilleth the will of god abydeth ever.

³ And the LORd sayd: My spirite shall not allwaye stryve withe man for they are flesh. Nevertheles I wyll geue them yet space and hundred and .xx. yeres

⁵¹ Ye stiffenecked and of vncircumcised hertes and eares: ye have all wayes resisted the holy goost: as youre fathers dyd so do ye.

³⁰ Yf eny revelacio be made to another that sitteth by let the fyrst holde his peace.

³⁰ And greve not the holy sprete of God by whome ye are sealed vnto the daye of redempcion.

¹⁶ Above all take to you the shelde of fayth wherwith ye maye quenche all ye fyrie dartes of the wicked.

¹⁴ Despyse not the gyfte that is in ye which was geven the thorow prophesye and with layinge on of ye hondes of an elder.

⁶ Wherfore I warne the that thou stere vp the gyfte of god which is in the by the puttynge on of my hondes.

²⁵ And the Lorde came doune in a cloude and spake vnto him ad toke of the sprete that was apon him ad put it apon the .lxx. elders. And as the spirite rested apon them they prophecied and did nought els. ²⁶ But there remayned .ij. of ye me in the hoste: the one called Eldad ad the other Medad. And the spirite rested apon them for they were of them that were written but they wet not out vnto the tabernacle: and they prophecied in the hoste. ²⁷ And there ran a younge man and tolde Moses and sayed: Eldad ad Medad do prophecye in the hoste. ²⁸ And Iosua the sonne of Nu the seruaunte of Moses which he had chosen out answered and sayed: master Moses forbyd them. ²⁹ And Moses sayed vnto him: enuyest thou for my sake? wolde God that all the Lordes people coude prophecye and that the Lorde wolde put his spirite apon them.

⁶ And Paul layde his hondes apon them and the holy gost came on them and they spake with tonges and prophesied

⁴ Eevery ma prayinge or prophesyinge havynge eny thynge on his heed shameth his heed.

¹⁰ To another power to do myracles. To another prophesie? To another iudgement of spretes. To another divers tonges. To another the interpretacion of toges.

² And though I coulde prophesy and vnderstode all secretes and all knowledge: yee yf I had all fayth so that I coulde move moutayns oute of ther places and yet had no love I were nothynge.

⁹ For oure knowledge is vnparfect and oure prophesyinge is vnperfet.

³ But he that prophesieth speaketh vnto men to edifyinge to exhortacion and to comforte. ⁴ He that speaketh with tonges proffiteth him silfe: he that prophesyeth edifieth the congregacion. ⁵ I wolde that ye all spake with tonges: but rather that ye prophesied. For greater is he that prophisieth? then he yt speaketh with tonges except he expounde it also that the congregacion maye have edifyinge. ⁶ Now brehren if I come vnto you speakige wt tonges: what shall I profit you excepte I speake vnto you other by revelacio or knowledge or prophesyinge or doctrine.

²² Wherfore tonges are for a signe not to them that beleve: but to them that beleve not. Contrary wyse prophesyinge serveth not for them that beleve not: but for them which beleve. ²³ Yf therfore when all the cogregacion is come to gedder and all speake with tonges ther come in they yt are vnlearned or they which beleve not: will they not saye that ye are out of youre wittes? ²⁴ But and yf all prophesy and ther come in one that beleveth not or one vnlearned he is rebuked of all men and is iudged of every man: ²⁵ and so are ye secretes of his hert opened and so falleth he doune on his face and worshippeth God and sayth yt God is wt you in dede.

²⁹ Let the Prophetes speake two at once or thre at once and let other iudge. ³⁰ Yf eny revelacio be made to another that sitteth by let the fyrst holde his peace. ³¹ For ye maye all prophesy one by one that all maye learne and all maye have comforte. ³² For ye spretes of the Prophetes are in the power of the Prophetes.

³⁷ Yf eny ma thinke him sylfe a prophet ether spirituall: let him vnderstonde what thinges I write vnto you. For they are the comaundementes of the Lorde. ³⁸ But and yf eny man be ignorat let him be ignorant. ³⁹ Wherfore brethren covet to prophesye and forbyd not to speake with tonges.

¹¹ And the very same made some Apostles some prophetes some Evangelistes some Sheperdes some Teachers: ¹² yt the sainctes might have all thinges necessarie to worke and minister with all to the edifyinge of the body of christ

⁸ He therfore that despiseth despiseth not man but God which hath sent his holy sprete amonge you.

³ and the quyre which is within the temple cast oute and mete it not: for it is gevyn vnto the gentyles and the holy cite shall they treade vnderfote .xlii. monethes. ⁴ And I will geve power vnto my two wytnesses and they shall prophesy .M.iic. and .lx. dayes clothed in sacke cloth. ⁵ These are two olyve trees and two cadlestyckes stodinge before ye god of ye erth ⁶ And if eny man will hurt them fyre shall procede out of their mouthes and consume their ennemyes. And yf eny ma will hurt the this wyse muste he be kylled. ⁷ These have power to shut heven that it rayne not in the dayes of their prophesyinge: and have power over waters to turne them to bloud and to smyte the erth wt almaner plages as often as they will. ⁸ And when they have fynysshed their testimony the beste that cam oute of the bottomlesse pytt shall make warre agaynst them and shall overcome them and kyll them. ⁹ And their boddyes shall lye in the stretes of the greate cite which spritually is called zodom and Egypte where oure lorde was crucified. ¹⁰ And they of the people and kynredes and tonges and they of the nacions shall se their bodyes .iii. dayes and an halfe and shall not suffre their boddyes to be put in graves. ¹¹ And they that dwell apon the erth shall reioyce over them and be glad and shall send gyftes one to another for these two prophetes vexed them yt dwelt on the erth.

⁶ ad what he dyd vnto Dathan and Abiram the sonnes of Eliab the sonne of Ruben, how the erth opened hir mouth ad swalowed the with their housholdes and their tentes, ad all their substace that was in their possessio, in the myddes of Israel. ⁷ For youre eyes haue sene all the greate deades of the Lorde which he dyd. ⁸ Kepe therfore al the comaundmentes which I comaunde the this daye that ye maye be stronge ad goo and conquere the londe whother ye go to possesse it, ⁹ ad that ye maye prolonge youre dayes in the londe which the Lorde sware vnto youre fathers to geue vnto them ad to their seed, a londe that floweth with mylke and honye.

⁴⁶ then he sayed vnto them. Sett youre hertes vnto all the wordes whiche I testifye vnto you this daye: that ye commaunde them vnto youre childern, to obserue and doo all the wordes off thys lawe. ⁴⁷ For it is not a vayne worde vnto you: but it is youre lyfe, and thorow thys worde ye shall prolonge youre dayes in the lond whother ye goo ouer Iordayne to conquere it.

¹⁵ Ye shall knowe them by their frutes. Do men gaddre grapes of thornes? or figges of bryres? ¹⁶ Euen soo every good tree bryngeth forthe good frute. But a corrupte tree bryngethe forthe evyll frute. ¹⁷ A good tree canot brynge forthe bad frute: nor yet a bad tree can bringe forthe good frute. ¹⁸ Every tree that bryngethe not forthe good frute shalbe hewe doune and cast into the fyre. ¹⁹ Wherfore by their frutes ye shall knowe the. ²⁰ Not all they that saye vnto me Master Master shall enter in to the kyngdome of heven: but he that dothe my fathers will which ys in heven.

¹⁴ And he called all the people vnto him and sayde vnto them: Herken vnto me every one of you and vnderstonde. ¹⁵ There is no thinge with out a man that can defyle him when it entreth into him: but thoo thinges which procede out of him are those which defyle ye man.

⁵⁷ Ye and why iudge ye not of youre selves what is righte?

³¹ Then sayde Iesus to those Iewes which beleved on him. If ye cotinue in my wordes then are ye my very disciples

⁴ Byde in me and let me byde in you. As ye braunche canot beare frute of it sylfe excepte it byde in the vyne: no more can ye excepte ye abyde in me.

²³ Which when he was come and had sene the grace of God was glad and exhorted them all that with purpose of hert they wolde continually cleave vnto ye Lorde.

²² and strengthed the disciples soules exhortinge them to continue in the faith affyrminge yt we must thorowe moche tribulacion entre into the kyngdome of God.

¹¹ These were the noblest of byrthe amonge the of Thessalonia which receaved the worde wt all diligence of mynde and searched ye scriptures dayly whether those thinges were even so.

² And fassion not youre selves lyke vnto this worlde: But be ye chaunged in youre shape by the renuynge of youre wittes that ye maye fele what thynge that good yt acceptable and perfaycte will of god is.

¹¹ For what man knoweth the thinges of a ma: save ye sprete of a man which is with in him? Even so ye thinges of God knoweth no man but ye sprete of god.

¹⁴ For ye naturall man perceaveth not the thinges of the sprete of god. For they are but folysshnes vnto him. Nether can he perceave them because he is spretually examined. ¹⁵ But he that is spretuall discusseth all thinges: yet he him selfe is iudged of no ma.

²⁸ But yf ther be no interpreter let him kepe silence in the cogregacion and let him speake to him selfe and to God. ²⁹ Let the Prophetes speake two at once or thre at once and let other iudge.

⁵⁸ Therfore my deare brethren be ye stedfast and unmovable alwayes ryche in the workes of the Lorde for as moch as ye knowe how yt youre labour is not in vayne in the Lorde.

¹⁰ Accept that which is pleasinge to the Lorde:

¹⁰ that ye myght accepte thinges most excellent that ye myght be pure and soche as shuld hurte no manes conscience vntyll the daye of Christ

¹⁶ Neverthelesse in that wher vnto we are come let vs procede by one rule yt we maye be of one acorde.

⁸ Furthermore brethren whatsoever thinges are true whatsoever thynges are honest what soever thynges are iust whatsoever thynges are pure whatsoever thynges pertayne to love whatsoever thynges are of honest reporte: yf ther be eny verteous thynge yf there be eny laudable thynge

¹⁵ Therfore brethren stonde fast and kepe ye ordinaunces which ye have learned: whether it were by oure preachynge or by pistle.

¹⁵ This thou knowest how that all they which are in Asia be turned from me. Of which sorte are Phigelos and hermogenes.

⁶ Of this sorte are they which entre in to houses and brynge into bondage wymmen laden with synne which wemen are ledde of divers lustes

¹⁴ Alexander the coppersmyth did me moche evyll the lorde rewarde him accordynge to his dedes

²³ and let vs kepe the profession of oure hope with oute waveringe (for he is faythfull that promysed)

¹ Ye beloved beleve not every sprete: but prove the spretes whether they are of God or no: for many falce Prophetes are gone out into the worlde.

² I knowe thy workes and thy labour and thy pacience and howe thou cannest not forbeare the which are evyll: and examinedst them which saye they are Apostles and are not: and hast founde them lyars

²⁵ but yt which ye have alreddy. Holde fast tyll I come

¹¹ Beholde I come shortly. Holde that which thou haste that no man take awaye thy croune

⁷ Kepe the ferre from a false mater, and the Innocent and righteous se thou sley not, for I will not iustifye the weked.

²⁶ Peter sayde vnto him: of straungers. Then sayd Iesus vnto him agayne: Then are the chyldren fre.

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

¹³ Wherfore yf meate hurt my brother I will eate no flesshe whill the worlde stondeth because I will not hurte my brother.

³¹ Whether therfore ye eate or dryncke or what soever ye do do all to the prayse of God. ³² Se that ye geve occasion of evell nether to ye Iewes nor yet to the gentyls nether to ye cogregacion of god: ³³ euen as I please all men in all thinges not sekynge myne awne proffet but the proffet of many that they myght be saved.

³ Let vs geve no man occasion of evyll that in oure office be founde no faute:

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.

¹² that ye maye behave youre selves honestly towarde them that are with out and that nothinge be lackynge vnto you.

²³ and other save with feare pullinge them out of the fyre and hate the fylthy vesture of the flesshe.

⁸ And se that ye kepe myne ordinaunces and doo them. For I am the Lorde which sanctifie you.

²⁶ Be holy vnto me, for I the Lorde am holy and haue seuered you from other nacyons: that ye shulde be myne.

⁴⁶ And Mary sayde. My soule magnifieth the Lorde.

¹⁹ and for their sakes sanctify I my selfe that they also myght be sanctified thorowe the trueth.

³² And now brethren I comende you to God and to the worde of his grace which is able to bylde further and to geve you an inheritaunce amoge all them which are sanctified.

⁵ The God of pacience and consolacion geve vnto every one of you that ye be lyke mynded one towardes another after the insample of Christ:

¹³ The God of hope fyll you with all ioye and peace in belevynge: that ye maye be ryche in hope thorowe the power of the holy goost.

²⁰ The God of peace treade Satan vnder youre fete shortly. The grace of oure Lorde Iesu Christ be with you.

² Vnto the congregacion of God which is at Corinthum. To them that are sanctified in Christ Iesu sainctes by callynge with all that call on the name of oure lorde Iesus Christ in every place both of theirs and of oures

⁸ which shall streght you vnto ye ende that ye maye be blamelesse in ye daye of oure lorde Iesus Christ. ⁹ ffor god is faythfull by whom ye are called vnto ye fellishyppe of his sonne Iesus Christe oure lorde

³³ For God is not causer of stryfe: but of peace as he is in all other congregacions of the saynctes.

¹⁹ For god was in Christ and made agrement bitwene the worlde and hym sylfe and imputed not their synnes vnto them: and hath comitted to vs the preachynge of ye atonmet.

²⁶ to sanctifie it and clensed it in the fountayne of water thorow the worde ²⁷ to make it vnto him selfe a glorious congregacion with oute spot or wrynckle or eny soche thinge: but that it shuld be holy and with out blame.

⁶ and am suerly certified of this that he which beganne a good worke in you shall go forthe with it vntyll the daye of Iesus Christ

¹⁵ that ye maye be fautelesse and pure and the sonnes of God with out rebuke in ye middes of a croked and a perverse nacion amonge which se that ye shyne as lightes in the worlde ¹⁶ holdinge fast the worde of lyfe vnto my reioysynge in ye daye of Christ that I have not runne in vayne nether have labored in vayne.

⁹ those same have ye in youre mynde which ye have both learned and receaved herde and also sene in me: those thynges do and the god of peace shalbe with you.

²² in ye body of his flesshe thorowe deeth to make you holy vnblameable and with out faut in his awne syght

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?

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.

¹¹ For he that sanctifieth and they which are sanctified are all of one. For which causes sake he is not ashamde to call the brethren

¹² For the worde of god is quycke and myghty in operacion and sharper then eny two edged swearde: and entreth through even vnto the dividynge asonder of the soule and the sprete and of the ioyntes and the mary: and iudgeth the thoughtes and the intentes of the herte:

²⁰ The god of peace that brought agayne fro deth oure lorde Iesus the gret shepperde of the shepe thorowe the bloud of the everlastynge testamet

² by ye forknowledge of God ye father thorow the sanctifyinge of the sprete vnto obedience and springklinge of the bloud of Iesus Christ. Grace be with you and peace be multiplyed.

¹⁰ The God of all grace which called you vnto his eternall glory by Christ Iesus shall his awne silfe after ye have soffred a lytell affliccio make you perfect: shall settle strenght and stablishe you.

¹⁴ Wherfore derly beloved seynge yt ye loke for soche thynges be diliget that ye maye be founde of him in peace wt out spotte and vndefiled

¹ Iudas the servaunt of Iesus Christ the brother of Iames. To them which are cal and sanctified in god the father and preserved in Iesu Christ.

²⁴ Vnto him that is able to kepe you that ye faule not and to present you fautlesse before the presence of his glory with ioye

¹⁹ The Lorde is not a ma that he can lye nether the sonne of a ma that he can repent: shulde he saye and not doo or shulde he speake and not make it good?

⁹ Vnderstonde therfore, that the Lorde thy God he is God and that a true God, which kepeth poyntment and mercy vnto them that loue him and kepe his commaundmentes, euen thorowe out a thousande generacions

³⁵ Heven and erth shall perisshe: but my wordes shall abyde.

¹⁷ For the lawe was geven by Moses but grace and truthe came by Iesus Christ.

³³ How be it he that hath receaved hys testimonye hath set to his seale that God is true.

³⁰ Morover which he apoynted before them he also called. And which he called them also he iustified which he iustified them he also glorified.

²⁴ that is to saye vs which he called not of the Iewes only but also of ye gentyls.

⁹ ffor god is faythfull by whom ye are called vnto ye fellishyppe of his sonne Iesus Christe oure lorde

¹³ There hath none other temptacion taken you but soche as foloweth ye nature of ma. But God is faythfull which shall not suffer you to be tempted above youre strenght: but shall in the myddes of the temptacion make awaye to escape out.

¹⁵ But whe it pleased God which seperated me from my mothers wombe and called me by his grace

¹⁴ whervnto he called you byoure gospell to obtayne ye glorye that cometh of oure lord Iesu Christ.

³ but the lorde is faythfull which shall stablysshe you and kepe you from evyll.

⁹ which saved vs and called vs wt an holy callinge not acordinge to oure dedes but accordynge to his awne purpose and grace which grace was geve vs thorowe Christ Iesu before the worlde was

¹³ Yf we beleve not yet abideth he faithfull. He cannot denye him silfe.

² vpon the hope of eternall lyfe which lyfe God that cannot lye hath promised before the worlde begane:

¹⁷ So god willynge very aboundanly to shewe vnto the heyres of promes the stablenes of his counsayle he added an othe ¹⁸ that by two immutable thinges (in which it was vnpossible that god shuld lye) we myght have parfect consolacion which have fled for to holde fast the hope that is set before vs

³ Accordinge as his godly power hath geven vnto vs all thinges that pertayne vnto lyfe and godlynes thorow the knowledge of him that hath called vs by vertue and glory

¹⁴ These shall fyght with the lambe and the lambe shall overcome them: For he is lorde of lordes and kynge of kynges: and they that are on hys syde are called and chosen and faythfull.

³⁰ I beseche you brethre for oure Lorde Iesus Christes sake and for the love of the sprete that ye helpe me in my busynes with youre prayers to God for me

¹¹ by the helpe of youre prayer for vs: that by the meanes of many occasions thankes maye be geven of many on oure behalfe for the grace geven vnto vs.

¹⁸ And praye all wayes with all maner prayer and supplicacio: and yt in the sprete: and watch thervnto wt all instance and supplicacio for all saynctes ¹⁹ and for me that vttraunce maye be geve vnto me that I maye open my mouth boldly to vtter the secretes of the gospell ²⁰ whereof I am a messenger in bondes that therin I maye speake frely as it becommeth me to speake.

¹⁹ For I knowe that this shall chaunce to my salvacion thorow youre prayer and ministringe of the sprete of Iesu Christ

³ gevynge prayenge also for vs that God open vnto vs the dore of vtteraunce that we maye speake the mistery of Christ wherfore I am in bondes:

¹ Furthermore brethren praye for vs yt the worde of god maye have fre passage and be gloryfied as it is with you: ² and that we maye be delivered from vnresonable and evyll men. For all men have not fayth: ³ but the lorde is faythfull which shall stablysshe you and kepe you from evyll.

²² Moreover prepare me lodgynge: for I trust thorow ye helpe of youre prayers I shalbe geven vnto you.

¹⁸ Praye for vs. We have confidence because we have a good conscience in all thynges and desyre to live honestly. ¹⁹ I desire you therfore somwhat the moare aboundantly that ye so do that I maye be restored to you quyckly.

¹⁶ Salute one another with an holy kysse. The congregacions of Christ salute you.

²⁰ All the brethren grete you. Grete ye one another with an holy kysse.

²³ and put his handes apon him and gaue him a charge as the Lorde commaunded thorow the hande of Moses.

⁶³ But Iesus helde his peace: And the chefe Preeste answered and sayd to him: I charge the in the name of the lyvinge God that thou tell vs whether thou be Christ the sonne of God.

⁷ and cryed wt a lowde voyce and sayde: what have I to do wt the Iesus ye sonne of the moost hyest God? I requyre ye in the name of God yt thou tormet me not.

¹³ Then certayne of the vagabounde Iewes exorcistes toke apon them to call over them which had evyll spretes the name of the lorde Iesus sayinge: We adiure you by Iesu who Paul preacheth.

¹⁶ And whe the pistle is reed of you make that it be reed in the congregacion of the Laodicians also: and that ye lyke wyse reade ye epistle of Laodicia.
