³² Then sayde Agrippa vnto Festus: This man myght have bene lowsed yf he had not appealed vnto Cesar.

¹⁹ But when ye Iewes cryed cotrary I was constrayned to appeale vnto Cesar: not because I had ought to accuse my people of.

³² Then sayde Agrippa vnto Festus: This man myght have bene lowsed yf he had not appealed vnto Cesar.

¹⁶ And when he came to Rome ye vnder captayne delyvered ye presoners to ye chefe captayne of ye host: but Paul was suffered to dwell by him selfe with one soudier that kept him.

²⁸ When I have performed this and have brought them this frute sealed. I will come backe agayne by you into Spayne. ²⁹ And I am sure when I come that I shall come with aboundaunce of the blessinge of the gospell of Christ.

¹² I wolde ye vnderstode brethern that my busynes is happened vnto the greater furtherynge of the gospell. ¹³ So that my bondes in Christ are manyfest thorow out all the iudgement hall and in all other places: ¹⁴ In so moche that many of the brethre in ye lorde are boldned thorow my bodes and dare more largely speake the worde with out feare.

²⁰ as I hertely loke for and hope that in nothinge I shalbe ashamed: but that with all confidence as all wayes in tymes past even so now Christ shalbe magnified in my body whether it be thorowe lyfe or els deeth.

¹⁸ and beganne to salute him. Hayle kynge of the Iewes.

²² Agrippa sayd vnto Festus: I wolde also heare ye man my selfe. To morowe (sayde he) thou shalt heare him. ²³ And on ye morowe when Agrippa was come and Bernice with greate pompe and were entred into the counsell housse with the captaynes and chefe men of the cite at Festus commaundement Paul was brought forth.

¹ Agrippa sayde vnto Paul: thou arte permitted to speake for thy selfe. Then Paul stretched forth the honde and answered for him selfe.

²⁷ Kynge Agrippa belevest thou ye prophetes? I wote well thou belevest. ²⁸ Agrippa sayde vnto Paul: Sumwhat thou bringest me in mynde for to be come a Christen.

³ And ther was a certayne wedowe in the same cite which came vnto him sayinge: avenge me of myne adversary. ⁴ And he wolde not for a whyle. But afterwarde he sayd vnto him selfe: though I feare not God nor care for man ⁵ yet because this wedowe troubleth me I will avenge her lest at the laste she come and hagge on me.

²³ And they cryed with loude voyce and required that he myght be crucifyed. And the voyce of them and of the hye Prestes prevayled.

¹ When Festus was come into the province after thre dayes he ascended fro Cesarea vnto Ierusalem. ² Then enformed him the hye prestes and the chefe of the Iewes of Paul. And they besought him ³ and desired faveour agaynst him that he wold sende for him to Ierusalem: and layde awayte for him in the waye to kill him.

⁴ and it was tolde the ad thou hast herde of it: Then thou shalt enquere diligently. And yf it be true and the thinge of a suertye that soch abhomynacion is wrought in Israel

¹⁷ then let both the men which stryue together stonde before the Lorde, before the preastes and the iudges which shalbe in those dayes, ¹⁸ and let the iudges enquyre a good. And yf the witnesse be founde false and that he hath geuen false witnesse agenst his brother

⁵¹ Doth oure lawe iudge eny man before it heare him and knowe what he hath done?

⁴ Festus answered that Paul shuld be kept at Cesarea: but that he him selfe wold shortly departe thither. ⁵ Let the therfore (sayd he) which amoge you are able to do it come doune with vs and accuse him if ther be eny faute in the man.

²² begynninge at the baptyme of Iohn vnto that same daye that he was taken vp from vs must one be ordeyned to be are witnes with vs of his resurreccion.

³² This Iesus hath God raysyd vp wherof we all are witnesses.

²² Paul stode in the myddes of Marse strete and sayde: ye men of Attens I perceave that in all thinges ye are to supersticious. ²³ For as I passed by and behelde the maner how ye worship youre goddes I founde an aultre wher in was written: vnto ye vnknowen god. Whom ye then ignoratly worship him shewe I vnto you.

³¹ because he hath apoynted a daye in the which he will iudge the worlde acordynge to ryghtewesses by that man whom he hath apoynted and hath offered faith to all men after that he had raysed him from deeth.

¹⁵ but yf it be a question of wordes or of names or of youre lawe loke ye to it youre selves. For I wilbe no iudge in soche maters

¹⁹ And he came to Ephesus and lefte them there: but he him selfe entred into the synagoge and reasoned with the Iewes.

⁷ When he was come the Iewes which were come fro Ierusalem came aboute him and layde many and greveous complayntes agaynst Paul which they coulde not prove

²² Neverthelesse I obtayned helpe of God and cotynew vnto this daye witnessyng bothe to small and to greate saying none other thinges then those which the prophetes and Moses dyd saye shuld come ²³ that Christ shulde suffre and that he shuld be the fyrst that shulde ryse from deeth and shuld shewe lyght vnto the people and the gentyls.

³ For fyrst of all I delivered vnto you that which I receaved: how that Christ dyed for oure synnes agreinge to the scriptures: ⁴ and that he was buried and that he arose agayne the thyrd daye accordinge to the scriptures:

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.

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

⁹ Festus willinge to do the Iewes a pleasure answered Paul and sayde: wilt thou goo to Ierusalem and there be iudged of these thinges before me?

¹ And it chaunced in thoose dayes: yt ther went oute a comaundment from Auguste the Emperour that all the woorlde shuld be taxed.

¹⁰ Then sayd Paul: I stonde at Cesars iudgemet seate where I ought to be iudged. To ye Iewes have I no harme done as thou verely well knowest. ¹¹ If I have hurte them or comitted eny thinge worthy of deeth I refuse not to dye. If none of these thinges are where of they accuse me no man owght to delyver me to them. I appeale vnto Cesar.

¹⁶ At my fyrst answerynge no man assissted me but all forsoke me. I praye God that it maye not be layde to their charges:

¹⁸ But when they delyver you vp take no thought how or what ye shall speake for yt shalbe geve you eve in that same houre what ye shall saye.

¹² But before all these they shall laye their hondes on you and persecute you delyueringe you vp to the sinagoges and into preson and bringe you before kynges and rulers for my names sake.

¹⁵ The lorde sayde vnto him: Goo thy wayes: for he is a chosen vessell vnto me to beare my name before the gentyls and kynges and the chyldren of Israel.

²¹ And upon a daye appoynted Herode arayed him in royall apparell and set him in his seate and made an oraycon vnto them.

¹³ After a certayne dayes kinge Agrippa and Bernice came vnto Cesarea to salute Festus.

³⁰ And when he had thus spoken the kynge rose vp and the debite and Bernice and they that sate with them.

³¹ and they yt vse this worlde be as though they vsed it not. For the fassion of this worlde goeth awaye.

¹¹ The sonne ryseth with heate and the grasse wydereth and his flower falleth awaye and the beautie of the fassion of it perissheth: even so shall the ryche man perisshe with his aboundance.

²⁴ For all flesshe is as grasse and all the glory of man is as the floure of grasse. The grasse widdereth and the flower falleth awaye

¹⁶ For all that is in ye worlde (as the lust of the flesshe the lust of the eyes and ye pryde of gooddes) is not of the father: but of ye worlde

²¹ And they cryed sayinge: Crucify him Crucify him ²² He sayde vnto them the thyrde tyme. What evyll hath he done? I fynde no cause of deeth in him. I will therfore chasten him and let him lowse. ²³ And they cryed with loude voyce and required that he myght be crucifyed. And the voyce of them and of the hye Prestes prevayled.

²² They gave him audience vnto this worde and then lifte vp their voyces and sayde: a waye wt soche a felowe fro the erth: yt is pitie that he shuld live.

⁴ Then sayde Pylate to the hye prestes and to the people: I fynde noo faute in this man.
