³ Longe tyme a bode they there and quyt them selves boldly with the helpe of the Lorde the which gave testimony vnto ye worde of his grace and caused signes and wondres to be done by their hondes.

⁸ And ther sate a certayne man at Listra weake in his fete beinge creple from his mothers wombe and never walkyd. ⁹ The same hearde Paul preache. Which behelde him and perceaved that he had fayth to be whole ¹⁰ and sayd with a loude voyce: stond vp right on thy fete. And he stert vp and walked.

¹⁸ And this dyd she many dayes. But Paul not cotent turned about and sayd to the sprete: I commaunde the in the name of Iesu Christ that thou come out of her. And he came out the same houre.

¹¹ And god wrought no small miracles by the hondes of Paul:

¹⁹ in myghty signes and wonders by the power of the sprete of God: so that from Ierusalem and the costes rounde aboute vnto Illyricum I have fylled all countres with the gladde tydynges of Christ.

¹² yet ye tokes of an apostle were wrought amoge you with all pacience: with signes and wonders and myghty dedes.

⁴ god bearynge witnes therto bothe with sygnes and wonders also and with divers miracles and gyftes of the holy gooste accordynge to his awne will.

⁸ God that broughte him out of Egipte is as the strenght of an vnycorne vnto him and he shall eate the nacions that are his enemies and breake their bones and perse them thorow with his arowes. ⁹ He couched him selfe and laye doune as a lion and as a lyonesse who shall stere him vp? blessed is he that blesseth the ad cursed is he that curseth the. ¹⁰ And Balac was wroth with balam and smote his handes together and sayed vnto him: I sent for the to curse myne enemyes: and beholde thou hast blessed them this thre tymes

¹ As ther gadered together an innumerable multitude of people (in so moche that they trood one another) he began to saye vnto his disciples: Fyrst of all beware of the leve of the Pharises which is ypocrisy. ² For ther is no thinge covered that shall not be vncovered: nether hyd that shall not be knowen.

²⁶ If a man come to me and hate not his father and mother and wyfe and chyldren and brethren and sisters more over and his awne lyfe he cannot be my disciple. ²⁷ And whosoever beare not his crosse and come after me cannot be my disciple. ²⁸ Which of you disposed to bilde a toure sytteth not doune before and counteth ye cost whether he have sufficient to performe it? ²⁹ lest after he hath layde ye foundacion and is not able to performe it all yt beholde it beginne to mocke him ³⁰ sayinge: this man beganne to bilde and was not able to make an ende. ³¹ Or what kynge goeth to make batayle agaynst another kinge and sitteth not doune fyrst and casteth in his mynde whether he be able wt ten thousande to mete him that cometh agaynst him wt .xx thousand. ³² Or els whyll ye other is yet a greate waye of he will sende embasseatours and desyre peace. ³³ So lykewyse none of you yt forsaketh not all yt he hath can be my disciple. ³⁴ Salt is good but yf salt have loste hyr saltnes what shall be seasoned ther with? ³⁵ It is nether good for ye londe nor yet for ye donge hill but men cast it out at ye dores. He yt hath eares to heare let him heare.

³⁷ And when he was now come wheare he shuld goo doune fro the moute olivete ye whole multitude of ye disciples began to reioyce and to lawde God with a loude voyce for all ye miracles yt they had sene ³⁸ sayinge: Blessed be the kynge that cometh in the name of the Lorde: peace in heave and glory in the hyest.

⁴⁸ but coulde not finde what to do. For all the people stacke by him and gave him audience.

²² Suche wordes spake his father and mother because they feared the Iewes. For the Iewes had conspyred all redy that yf eny man dyd confesse that he was Christ he shuld be excommunicat out of the synagoge.

⁴² Neverthelesse amoge ye chefe rulers many beleved on him. But because of the pharises they wolde not be a knowen of it lest they shuld be excommunicate.

³⁸ After that Ioseph of Aramathia (which was a disciple of Iesus: but secretly for feare of ye Iewes) besought Pylate that he myght take doune the body of Iesus. And Pylate gave him licence.

⁴⁷ praysinge God and had faveour with all the people. And the Lorde added to ye congregacion dayly soche as shuld be saved.

²¹ So threatened they them and let them goo and founde no thinge how to punysshe them because of the people. For all me lauded God for the myracle which was done:

²⁰ For yf they after they have escaped from the filthynes of the worlde thorowe ye knowledge of ye Lorde and of ye saviour Iesus Christ they are yet tagled agayne therin and overcome: then is ye latter ende worsse with them then the beginninge. ²¹ For it had bene better for the not to have knowne ye waye of righteousnes then after they have knowe it to turne fro the holy comaundmet geve vnto them. ²² It is happened vnto them accordinge to the true proverbe: The dogge is turned to his vomet agayne and the sow that was wesshed to her wallowynge in the myre.

²² And the men came with the wemen (euen as manye as were willynge harted) and brought bracelettes, earynges, rynges and girdels and all maner Iewels of golde. And all the men that waued waueoffrynges of golde vnto the Lorde

¹¹ youre childern, youre wyues and the straungere that are in thyne host, from the hewer of thy wod vnto the drawer of thy water: ¹² that thou shulddest come vnder the appoyntment of the Lorde thy God, and vnder his othe which the Lorde thy God maketh with the this daye.

¹¹ when all Israel is come to appere before the Lorde thi God, in the place which he hath chosen: se that thou reade this lawe before all Israel in their eares ¹² Gather the people together: both men, wemen and childern and the straungers that are in thi cities, that they maye heare, lerne and feare the Lorde youre God, and be diligent to kepe all the wordes of this lawe,

⁴¹ Then they that gladly receaved his preachynge were baptised: and the same daye ther were added vnto them aboute thre thousande soules.

⁴ How be it many of them which hearde the wordes beleved and the noumbre of the men was aboute fyve thousande.

⁷ And the worde of God encreased and the noubre of the disciples multiplied in Ierusalem greatly and a great company of the prestes were obedient to the faythe.

³ But Saul made havocke of the congregacion entrynge into every housse and drewe out bothe man and woman and thrust the into preson.

¹² But assone as they beleved Philippes preachynge of the kyngdome of God and of the name of Iesu Christ they were baptised bothe men and wemen.

² and desyred of him letters to Damasco to ye synagoges: that yf he founde eny of this waye whether they were men or wemen he myght bringe them bounde vnto Ierusalem.

³¹ Then had ye congregacios rest thorowoute all Iewry and galile and Samary and were edified and walked in the feare of the lorde and multiplied by the comforte of the holy gost.

³⁵ And all that dwelt at lydda and assaron sawe hym and tourned to the lorde.

⁴² And it was knowne throwout all Ioppa and many beleved on the Lorde.

⁴ and I persecuted this waye vnto the deeth byndynge and delyveringe into preson bothe men and wemen

¹¹ Neverthelesse nether is the ma with oute the woma nether the woma with out the man in the lorde. ¹² For as the woman is of the man eve so is the man by the woman: but all is of God.

²⁸ Now is ther no Iewe nether getyle: ther is nether bonde ner fre: ther is nether man ner woman: but ye are all one thinge in Christ Iesu.

²¹ Then Iesus tourned him about and behelde her sayinge: Doughter be of good conforte thy faith hath made the safe. And she was made whole even that same houre.

³⁶ and besought him that they myght touche the hemme of his vesture only. And as many as touched it were made safe.

¹² Verely verely I saye vnto you: he that beleveth on me the workes that I doo the same shall he do and greater workes then these shall he do because I go vnto my father.

¹¹ And god wrought no small miracles by the hondes of Paul: ¹² so that from his body were brought vnto the sicke napkyns or partlettes and the diseases departed from the and the evyll spretes went out of them.

²⁴ And his fame spreed abroode through oute all Siria. And they brought vnto hym all sicke people that were taken with divers diseases and gripinges and them yt were possessed with devils and those which were lunatyke and those that had the palsie: and he healed the.

¹⁶ to fulfill yt which was spoke by Esayas ye Prophet sayinge. He toke on him oure infirmities and bare oure sickneses.

³⁰ And moche people came vnto him havinge with the halt blynde domme maymed and other many: and cast them doune at Iesus fete. And he healed them ³¹ in so moche that the people wondred to se the dome speake the maymed whole the halt to go and ye blynde to se. And they glorified the God of Israel.

³ And there came vnto him that brought one sicke of the palsie borne of fower men. ⁴ And because they coulde not come nye vnto him for preace they vncovered ye rofe of the housse where he was. And when they had broken it ope they let doune ye beed where in ye sicke of the palsie laye.

⁵⁴ And assone as they were come out of ye shippe streyght they knewe him ⁵⁵ and ran forth throughout all ye region rounde about and began to cary aboute in beeddes all yt were sicke to the place where they heard tell yt he was. ⁵⁶ And whyther soever he entred into tounes cities or villages they layde their sicke in the stretes and prayed him that they myght touche and it were but the edge of his vesture. And as many as touched him were safe.

¹⁷ And it happened on a certayne daye that he taught: and ther sate the pharises: and docturs of lawe which were come out of all ye tounes of Galile Iurie and Hierusalem. And the power of the Lorde was to heale the.

¹¹ And ye people knewe of it and folowed him. And he receaved them and spake vnto them of the kyngdome of God and healed them that had nede to be healed.

⁹ To another is geuen fayth by ye same sprete. To another ye gyftes of healynge by the same sprete.

¹⁶ knowledge youre fautes one to another: and praye one for another that ye maye be healed. The prayer of a ryghteous ma avayleth moche yf it be fervet.

¹⁸ For he knewe well that for envie they had delivred him.

⁴⁷ Then gadered the hye prestes and the Pharises a counsell and sayde: what do we? This ma doeth many miracles. ⁴⁸ Yf we let him scape thus all men will beleve on him and ye Romaynes shall come and take awaye oure countre and the people. ⁴⁹ And one of them named Cayphas which was the hieprest yt same yeare sayde vnto them: Ye perceave nothinge at all

¹⁰ The hye prestes therfore held a counsell that they myght put Lazarus to deeth also

¹⁹ The Pharises therfore sayde amonge them selves: perceave ye how we prevayle no thinge? beholde the worlde goth awaye after him.

¹ As they spake vnto the people the prestes and the rular of the teple and the Saduces came vpon them ² takynge it grevously that they taught ye pople and preached in Iesus the resurreccion fro deeth.

⁶ as Annas the chefe Prest and Cayphas and Iohn and Alexander and as many as were of ye kynred of the hye prestes gadered to geder at Ierusalem

²⁶ The kynges of the erth stode vp and the rulars came to gedder agaynst the Lorde and agaynst his Christ.

⁹ And the patriarkes havinge indignacio solde Ioseph into Egipte. And God was with him

⁴⁵ When ye Iewes sawe the people they were full of indignacion and spake agaynst those thinges which were spoken of Paul spekinge agaynst it and raylinge on it.

⁵ Then arose ther vp certayne that were of the secte of the Pharises and dyd beleve sayinge that it was nedfull to circucise them and to enioyne the to kepe ye lawe of Moses.

⁵ But the Iewes which beleved not havynge indignacio toke vnto the evyll men which were vagabondes and gadered a company and set all the cite on a roore and made asaute vnto the housse of Iason and sought to bringe the out to the people.

⁶ When Paul perceaved that the one parte were Saduces and the other Pharises: he cryed oute in the counsell. Men and brethren I am a Pharisaye the sonne of a Pharisaye. Of the hope and resurreccion fro deeth I am iudged. ⁷ And when he had so sayde ther arose a debate bitwene the Pharisayes and ye Saduces and the multitude was devided. ⁸ For ye Saduces saye that ther is no resurreccio nether angell nor sprete. But the Pharisayes graunt bothe.

¹⁴ But Yf ye have bitter envyinge and stryfe in youre hertes reioyce not: nether be lyars agaynst the trueth. ¹⁵ This wisdome descedeth not from a boue: but is erthy and naturall and divelisshe. ¹⁶ For where envyinge and stryfe is there is stablenes and all maner of evyll workes.

⁵ Ether do ye thinke that the scripture sayth in vayne The sprite that dwelleth in you lusteth eve contrary to envie:

¹ Wherfore laye asyde all maliciousnes and all gyle and dissimulacion and envie and all backbytynge:

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.

³ And they layde hondes on them and put them in holde vntill the nexte daye: for it was now even tyde.

⁵ Then was Peter kepte in preson. But prayer was made with out ceasynge of the congregacion vnto God for him. ⁶ And when Herode wolde have brought him oute vnto the people the same nyght slepte Peter bitwene two soudiers bounde with two chaynes and the kepers before the dore kepte the preson. ⁷ And beholde the angell of ye Lorde was there present and a lyght shyned in the lodge. And smote Peter on the syde and steryd him vp sayinge: aryse vp quyckly. And his cheynes fell of fro his hondes.

²³ And when they had beaten them sore they cast them into preson comaundynge the iayler to kepe them surely. ²⁴ Which iayler when he had receaved suche comaundment thrust them into the ynner preson and made their fete fast in the stockes. ²⁵ At mydnyght Paul and Sylas prayed and lauded God. And the presoners hearde them. ²⁶ And sodenly ther was a greate erth quake so that ye fonndacion of the preson was shaken and by and by all the dores opened and every mannes bondes were lowsed. ²⁷ When the keper of ye preson waked out of his slepe and sawe the preson dores open he drue out his swearde and wolde have kylled him selfe supposynge the presoners had bene fledde.

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.

³⁶ Other tasted of mockynges and scourginginges morover of bondes and presonmet:

¹⁰ Feare none of thoo thynges which thou shalt soffre. Beholde the devyll shall caste of you into preson to tempte you and ye shall have tribulacion .x. dayes. Be faythfull vnto the deeth and I will geve the a croune of lyfe.

²⁰ Whill he thus thought behold ye angell of ye Lorde appered vnto him in a dreame saynge: Ioseph ye sonne of David feare not to take vnto ye Mary thy wyfe. For that which is coceaved in her is of the holy goost.

¹¹ And ther appered vnto him an angell of the lorde stondinge on the ryght syde of the altare of incense.

²⁶ Then the angell of the lorde spake vnto Phillip sayinge: aryse and goo towardes mydde daye vnto ye waye yt goeth doune fro Ierusalem vnto Gaza which is in ye desert.

⁷ And beholde the angell of ye Lorde was there present and a lyght shyned in the lodge. And smote Peter on the syde and steryd him vp sayinge: aryse vp quyckly. And his cheynes fell of fro his hondes. ⁸ And the angell sayd vnto him: gyrde thy selfe and bynde on thy sandales. And so he dyd. And he sayde vnto him: cast thy mantle aboute the and folowe me. ⁹ And he came oute and folowed him and wist not that it was truthe which was done by the angell but thought he had sene a vision. ¹⁰ When they were past ye fyrst and ye seconde watche they came vnto yt yron gate yt ledeth vnto the cyte which opened to them by his awne accorde. And they went out and passed thorowe one strete and by and by the angell departed fro him. ¹¹ And when Peter was come to him selfe he sayde: now I knowe of a surety that the Lorde hath sent his angell and hath delyvered me out of the honde of Herode and from all the waytynge for of the people of ye Iewes.

²⁶ And sodenly ther was a greate erth quake so that ye fonndacion of the preson was shaken and by and by all the dores opened and every mannes bondes were lowsed.

²³ For ther stode by me this nyght the angell of God whose I am and whom I serve

³ And Moses came ad tolde the people al the wordes of the Lorde and all the lawes. And all the people answered with one voyce and sayde: all the wordes which the Lorde hath sayde, will wee doo.

²³ And when he was come into the teple the chefe prestes and the elders of the people came vnto him as he was teachinge and sayde: by what auctorite doest thou these thinges? and who gave the this power?

⁶³ It is the sprete that quyckeneth the flesshe proffeteth nothinge. The wordes that I speake vnto you are sprete and lyfe.

⁶⁸ Then Simon Peter answered: Master to whom shall we goo? Thou haste the wordes of eternall lyfe

⁵⁰ And I knowe that this comaundement is lyfe everlastinge. Whatsoever I speake therfore eve as the father bade me so I speake.

³ This is lyfe eternall that they myght knowe the that only very God and whom thou hast sent Iesus Christ.

⁸ For I have geven vnto them the wordes which thou gavest me and they have receaved them and knowe surely that I came out from the: and doo beleve that thou dyddest send me.

²⁰ Iesus answered him: I spake openly in ye worlde. I ever taught in ye synagoge and in the temple whyther all ye Iewes resorted and in secrete have I sayde nothynge:

¹⁴ he shall tell the wordes wherby both thou and all thyne housse shalbe saved.

¹ That which was fro the begynninge concerninge which we have hearde which we have sene with oure eyes which we have loked vpon and oure hondes have hadled of the worde of life. ² For the lyfe appered and we have sene and beare witnes and shewe vnto you that eternall lyfe which was with the father and appered vnto vs. ³ That which we have sene and herde declare we vnto you that ye maye have felloushippe with vs and that oure fellishippe maye be with the father and his sonne Iesus Christ.

¹¹ And this ys that recorde how that god hath geven vnto vs eternall lyfe and this lyfe is in his sonne. ¹² He that hath the sonne hath lyfe: and he that hath not the sonne of god hath not lyfe.

²² But I say vnto you whosoever is angre with hys brother shalbe in daunger of iudgement. Whosoeuer sayeth vnto his brother Racha shalbe in dauger of a cousell. But whosoeuer sayeth thou fole shalbe in dauger of hell fyre.

³⁷ In the daye tyme he taught in the temple and at night he went out and had abydinge in the mount olivete. ³⁸ And all the people came in the morninge to him in the temple for to heare him.

⁶⁶ And assone as it was daye the elders of the people and the hye prestes and scribes came to gedder and ledde him into their counsell sayinge:

² and erly in ye mornynge came agayne into ye temple and all the people came vnto him and he sate doune and taught them.

³⁵ Pylate answered: Am I a Iewe? Thyne awne nacion and hye prestes have delyvered ye vnto me. What hast thou done?

⁵ And it chaunsed on the morowe that their rulars and elders and Scribes ⁶ as Annas the chefe Prest and Cayphas and Iohn and Alexander and as many as were of ye kynred of the hye prestes gadered to geder at Ierusalem ⁷ and set the other before them and axed: by what power or what name have ye done this syrs?

¹⁷ Then ye chefe preste rose vp and all they that were with him (which is the secte of the Saduces) and were full of indignacion

²⁴ When the chefe prest of all and the ruler of the temple and the hye prestes hearde these thinges they douted of them whervnto this wolde growe. ²⁵ Then came one and shewed them: beholde ye men yt ye put in preson stonde in the teple and teache the people.

²⁷ And when they had brought them they set them before the counsell. And ye chefe preste axed the

³⁴ Then stode ther vp one in ye counsell a Pharisey named Gamaliel a doctoure of lawe had in auctorite amoge all the people and commaunded to put the Apostles a syde a lytell space

⁴¹ And they departed from the counsell reioysynge yt they were counted worthy to soffre rebuke for his name.

¹⁸ Assone as it was daye ther was no lyttell a doo amoge the soudyers what was becum of Peter. ¹⁹ When Herode had called for him and founde him not he examined the kepers and comaunded to departe. And he descended from Iewry to Cesarea and ther abode.

² Whe they hearde that he spake in ye Ebrue tonge to them they kept the moore silence. And he sayde: ³ I am verely aman which am a Iewe borne in Tharsus a cite in Cicill: neverthelesse yet brought vp in this cite at ye fete of Gamaliel and informed diligently in the lawe of the fathers and was fervent mynded to Godwarde as ye all are this same daye

¹⁵ for thou shalt be his witnes vnto all men of tho thinges which thou thou hast sene and hearde.

⁶³ and sayde: Syr we remember yt this deceaver sayde whyll he was yet alyve After thre dayes I will aryse agayne. ⁶⁴ Commaunde therfore that the sepulcre be made sure vntyll ye thyrd daye lest paraventure his disciples come and steale him awaye and saye vnto the people he is rysen from deeth and the laste erroure be worsse then the fyrst. ⁶⁵ Pilate sayde vnto them. Take watche men: Go and make it as sure as ye can. ⁶⁶ And they went and made the sepulcre sure with watche men and sealed the stone.

¹² And they gaddered them to gedder with the elders and toke counsell and gave large money vnto the soudiers ¹³ sayinge: Saye that his disciples came by nyght and stole him awaye whill ye slept. ¹⁴ And if this come to the rulers cares we wyll pease him and save you harmeles. ¹⁵ And they toke the money and dyd as they were taught. And this sayinge is noysed amoge the Iewes vnto this daye.

⁵⁹ Then toke they vp stones to caste at him. But Iesus hid him selfe and went out of ye temple.

¹⁹ But the angell of the Lorde by nyght openned the preson dores and brought them forthe and sayde:

³⁰ And he sayde: where vnto shall we lyke the kyngdome of God? or with what copareson shall we copare it? ³¹ It is lyke a grayne of mustard seed which when it is sowe in the erth is the leest of all seedes that be in the erth: ³² but after that it is sowen it groweth vp and is greatest of all yerbes: and bereth greate brauches so that ye fowles of the ayre maye dwell vnder the shadowe of it.

⁴ and he went his waye and comuned with the hye Prestes and officers how he might betraye him to them.

⁵² Then Iesus sayde vnto the hye prestes and rulers of the temple and the elders which were come to him. Be ye come out as vnto a thefe with sweardes and staves?

⁴⁷ Then gadered the hye prestes and the Pharises a counsell and sayde: what do we? This ma doeth many miracles. ⁴⁸ Yf we let him scape thus all men will beleve on him and ye Romaynes shall come and take awaye oure countre and the people.

¹² They were all amased and wondred sayinge one to another: what meaneth this?

¹ As they spake vnto the people the prestes and the rular of the teple and the Saduces came vpon them

¹⁶ sayinge: what shall we do to these men? For a manifest signe is done by the and is openly knowen to all them that dwell in Ierusalem and we canot denye it. ¹⁷ But that it be noysed no farther amoge the people let us threaten and charge them that they speake hence forth to no man in this name.

²⁶ 26. Then went the ruler of the teple with ministers and brought the with out violence. For they feared the people lest they shuld have bene stoned.

⁵ And when he wold have put him to deeth he feared the people because they counted him as a prophet.

²⁶ But and if we shall saye of men then feare we the people. For all men helde Iohn as a Prophet.

⁵ But they sayd not on the holy daye lest eny vproure aryse amonge the people.

⁶ But and yf we shall saye of men all ye people will stone vs. For they be persuaded that Ihon is a Prophet.

¹⁹ And the hye Prestes and the Scribes the same howre went about to laye hondes on him but they feared the people. For they perceaved that he had spoken this similitude agaynst them.

² and the hye prestes and Scribes sought how to kyll him but they feared the people.

²⁴ When the chefe prest of all and the ruler of the temple and the hye prestes hearde these thinges they douted of them whervnto this wolde growe.

⁷ and set the other before them and axed: by what power or what name have ye done this syrs?

¹² And they moved ye people and the elders and the scribes: and came apon him and caught him and brought him to the counsell

³⁰ On the morowe because he wolde have knowen the certayntie wherfore he was accused of the Iewes he lowsed him from his bondes and commaunded the hye Prestes and all the counsell to come together and brought Paul and set him before them.

⁴⁴ And whosoever shall fall on this stone he shalbe broken but on whosoever it shall fall vpon it will grynde him to powder.

³⁵ that vpon you maye come all the righteous bloude that was sheed vpon the erth fro the bloud of righteous Abell vnto ye bloud of zacharias the sonne of Barachias who ye slewe betwene the teple and ye altre. ³⁶ Verely I say vnto you all these thinges shall light vpon this generacion.

²⁵ Then answered all the people and sayde: his bloud be on vs and on oure chyldren.

²³ him have ye taken by the hondes of vnrightewes persones after he was delivered by the determinat counsell and foreknoweledge of God and have crucified and slayne: ²⁴ whom God hath raysed vp and lowsed the sorowes of deeth because it was vnpossible that he shuld be holden of it. ²⁵ For David speaketh of him: Afore honde I sawe God alwayes before me: For he is on my ryght honde that I shuld not be moved. ²⁶ Therfore dyd my hert reioyce and my tonge was glad. Moreover also my flesshe shall rest in hope ²⁷ because thou wilt not leve my soul in hell nether wilt suffre thyne holye to se corrupcio. ²⁸ Thou hast shewed me the wayes of lyfe and shalt make me full of ioye with thy countenaunce. ²⁹ Men and brethren let me frely speake vnto you of the partriarke David: For he is both deed and buryed and his sepulcre remayneth with vs vnto this daye. ³⁰ Therfore seinge he was a Prophet and knewe that God had sworne with an othe to him that the frute of his loynes shuld sit on his seat (in that Christ shulde ryse agayne in the flesshe) ³¹ he sawe before: and spake in the resurreccion of Christ that his soule shulde not be left in hell: nether his flesse shuld se corrupcio. ³² This Iesus hath God raysyd vp wherof we all are witnesses. ³³ Sence now that he by the right honde of God exalted is and hath receaved of the father the promyse of the holy goost he hath sheed forthe that which ye nowe se and heare. ³⁴ For David is not ascendyd into heave: but he sayde. The Lorde sayde to my Lorde sit on my right honde ³⁵ vntill I make thy fooes thy fote stole. ³⁶ So therfore let all the housse of Israel knowe for a suerty yt God hath made ye same Iesus whom ye have crucified lorde and Christ.

¹⁴ But ye denyed the holy and iust and desyred a mortherar to be geven you ¹⁵ and kylled the Lorde of lyfe whom God hath raysed from deeth of the which we are wytnesses.

¹⁰ be yt knowen vnto you all and to the people of Israel that in the name of Iesus Christ of Nazareth whom ye crucified and whom God raysed agayne from deeth: even by him doth this man stonde here present before you whoale. ¹¹ This is ye stone cast a syde of you bylders which is set in the chefe place of the corner.

¹⁸ And they called them and comaunded them that in no wyse they shuld speake or teache in the name of Iesu. ¹⁹ But Peter and Iohn answered vnto them and sayde: whether it be right in the syght of God to obeye you moare then God iudge ye. ²⁰ For we canot but speake that which we have sene and hearde. ²¹ So threatened they them and let them goo and founde no thinge how to punysshe them because of the people. For all me lauded God for the myracle which was done:

⁴⁰ And to him they agreed and called the Apostles and bet them and comaunded that they shuld not speake in ye name of Iesu and let them goo.

⁵² Which of the prophetes have not youre fathers persecuted? And they have slayne them which shewed before of the commynge of that iust whom ye have now betrayed and mordred.

¹⁵ Which as they kylled the lorde Iesus and their awne prophetes even so have they persecuted vs and God they please not and are contrary to all men ¹⁶ and forbid vs to preache vnto the gentyls that they myght be saved to fulfill their synnes all waye. For the wrath of God is come on them even to the vtmost.

¹⁷ And vnto Ada he sayd: for as moch as thou hast obeyed the voyce of thy wyfe and hast eaten of the tree of which I commaunded the saynge: se thou eate not therof: cursed be the erth for thy sake. In sorow shalt thou eate therof all dayes of thy lyfe

⁷ In vayne they worshippe me teachinge doctryns which are nothinge but ye comaundementes of men. ⁸ For ye laye the commaundement of God aparte and observe the tradicions of men as the wesshinge of cruses and of cuppes and many other suche lyke thinges ye do. ⁹ And he sayde vnto them: well ye cast asyde the comaundement of God to mayntayne youre owne tradicios.

¹⁹ But Peter and Iohn answered vnto them and sayde: whether it be right in the syght of God to obeye you moare then God iudge ye.

⁸ And there folowed another angell sayinge: Babilon is fallen is fallen that gret cite for she made all nacions drynke of the wyne of hyr fornicacion. ⁹ And the thyrde angell folowed them sayinge with aloude voyce: Yf eny man worshippe the beest and his ymage and receave hie marke in his forhed or on his honde ¹⁰ the same shall drynke of the wyne of the wrath of God which is powred in the cuppe of his wrath. And he shalbe punnysshed in fyre and brymstone before the holy Angels and before the lambe. ¹¹ And the smoke of their turment ascendeth vp evermore. And they have no rest daye ner nyght which worshippe ye beast and his ymage and whosoever receaveth the prynt of his name. ¹² Here is the pacience of saynctes. Heare are they that kepe the commaundmentes and the fayth of Iesu.

⁵⁵ Even as he promised to oure fathers Abraham and to his seede for ever.

⁷² To fulfill the mercy promised to oure fathers and to remember his holy covenaunt.

²² Ye men of Israel heare these wordes. Iesus of Nazareth a ma approved of God amoge you with myracles wondres and signes which God dyd by him in ye myddes of you as ye youre selves knowe: ²³ him have ye taken by the hondes of vnrightewes persones after he was delivered by the determinat counsell and foreknoweledge of God and have crucified and slayne: ²⁴ whom God hath raysed vp and lowsed the sorowes of deeth because it was vnpossible that he shuld be holden of it.

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

¹³ The God of Abraham Isaac and Iacob the God of oure fathers hath glorified his sonne Iesus whom ye delyvered and denyed in the presence of Pylate whe he had iudged him to be lowsed.

²⁶ Fyrst vnto you hath God raysed vp his sonne Iesus and him he hath sent to blysse you that every one of you shuld turne from youre wickednes.

³⁹ And we are witnesses of all thinges which he dyd in the londe of the Iewes and at Ierusalem whom they slew and honge on tree.

²⁸ And when they founde no cause of deeth in him yet desyred they Pylate to kyll him. ²⁹ And when they had fulfilled all that were written of him they toke him doune from the tree and put him in a sepulcre.

³³ God hath fulfilled vnto vs their chyldre in that he reysed vp Iesus agayne eve as it is written in the fyrste psalme: Thou arte my sonne this same daye begat I the.

¹⁴ And he sayde the God of oure fathers hath ordeyned the before that thou shuldest knowe his will and shuldest se that which is rightfull and shuldest heare the voyce of his mouth:

¹³ But Christ hath delivered vs fro the curse of the lawe and was made a cursed for vs. For it is writte: cursed is every one that hangeth on tree

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.

²¹ She shall brynge forthe a sonne and thou shalt call his name Iesus. For he shall save his peple from their synnes.

¹⁸ And Iesus came and spake vnto them sayinge: All power ys geve vnto me in heve and in erth.

¹⁰ That ye maye knowe yt the sonne of man hath power in erth to forgeve synnes he spake vnto ye sicke of the palsie:

¹² yt when they se they shall se and not discerne: and when they heare they shall heare and not vnderstonde: leste at any tyme they shulde tourne and their synnes shuld be forgeve the.

¹¹ for vnto you is borne this daye in the cite of David a saveoure which is Christ ye lorde.

⁴⁷ and that repentaunce and remission of synnes shuld be preached in his name amonge all nacions and must beginne at Ierusalem.

²¹ Then sayde Iesus to them agayne: peace be with you. As my father sent me even so sende I you. ²² And when he had sayde that he brethed on them and sayde vnto the: Receave ye holy goost. ²³ Whosoevers synnes ye remyt they are remitted vnto the. And whosoevers synnes ye retayne they are retayned.

³³ Sence now that he by the right honde of God exalted is and hath receaved of the father the promyse of the holy goost he hath sheed forthe that which ye nowe se and heare.

³⁶ So therfore let all the housse of Israel knowe for a suerty yt God hath made ye same Iesus whom ye have crucified lorde and Christ.

³⁸ Peter sayde vnto them: repent and be baptised every one of you in the name of Iesus Christ for the remission of synnes and ye shall receave the gyfte of the holy goost.

¹⁵ and kylled the Lorde of lyfe whom God hath raysed from deeth of the which we are wytnesses.

¹⁹ Repent ye therfore and turne yt youre synnes maye be done awaye when the tyme of refresshinge commeth which we shall have of the presence of the Lorde

¹¹ This is ye stone cast a syde of you bylders which is set in the chefe place of the corner.

¹⁸ when they hearde this they helde their peace and gloryfied God sayinge: then hath God also to the gentyls graunted repentaunce vnto lyfe.

²³ Of this manes seed hath God (accordinge to his promes) brought forth to the people of Israel a saviour one Iesus

³⁸ Be it knowne vnto you therfore ye men and brethre that thorow this man is preached vnto you the forgevenes of synnes ³⁹ and yt by him are all yt beleve iustified fro all thinges fro the which ye coulde not be iustified by ye lawe of Moses.

²⁶ and so all Israel shalbe saved. As it is writte: There shall come oute of Sion he yt doth delyver and shall turne awaye the vngodlynes of Iacob. ²⁷ And this is my covenaunt vnto them when I shall take awaye their synnes.

¹⁰ To whom ye forgeve enythinge I forgeve also. And verely if I forgeve enythinge to whom I forgave it for youre sakes forgave I it in the roume of Christ

⁷ By whom we have redemption thorow his bloude euen the forgevenes of synnes accordynge to the riches of his grace

²⁰ which he wrought in Christ when he raysed him from deeth and set him on his right honde in hevenly thynges ²¹ above all rule power and myght and dominacion and above all names that are named not in this worlde only but also in the worlde to come: ²² and hath put all thynges vnder his fete and hath made him aboue all thynges ye heed of ye congregacion ²³ which is his body and the fulnes of him that filleth all in all thynges.

⁹ Wherfore god hath exalted him and geve him a name above all names: ¹⁰ that in the name of Iesus shuld every knee bowe bothe of thinges in heve and thinges in erth and thinges vnder erth ¹¹ and that all tonges shuld confesse that Iesus Christ is the lorde vnto the prayse of God the father.

²⁰ But oure conversacion is in heven from whence we loke for a saveour enen the lorde Iesus Christ

¹⁴ in whom we have redempcion thurow his bloud that is to saye the forgevenes of sinnes

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: ²⁶ that they maye come to the selves agayne out of the snare of the devyll which are now taken of him at his will.

⁴ To Titus his naturall sonne in the commen fayth.Grace mercie and peace from God the father and from the lord Iesu Christ oure saveoure.

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.

¹³ lokinge for that blessed hope and glorious apperenge of ye myghty god and of oure savioure Iesu Christ

⁴ But after that the kyndnes and love of oure saveoure God to mawarde appered ⁵ not of ye dedes of rightewesnes which we wrought but of his mercie he saved vs by ye foutayne of the newe birth and with the renuynge of the holy goost ⁶ which he shed on vs aboundantly thorow Iesus Christ oure saveoure

¹⁰ For it becam him for whom are all thynges and by whom are all thynges after that he had brought many sonnes vnto glory that he shuld make the lorde of their saluacion parfect thorow sofferynge.

² lokynge vnto Iesus the auctor and fynnyssher of oure fayth which for the ioye that was set before him abode the crosse and despysed the shame and is set doune on the right honde of ye trone of God.

²² which is oure right honde of God and is gone into heve angels power and myght subdued vnto him.

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.

¹¹ Ye and by this meanes an entrynge in shall be ministred vnto you aboundantly in to the everlastynge kyngdome of oure lorde and saveoure Iesus Christ.

²⁰ For yf they after they have escaped from the filthynes of the worlde thorowe ye knowledge of ye Lorde and of ye saviour Iesus Christ they are yet tagled agayne therin and overcome: then is ye latter ende worsse with them then the beginninge.

¹⁸ but growe in grace and in the knowledge of oure lorde and saveoure Iesus Christ.To whom he glory bothe now and for ever. Amen.

¹⁴ And we have sene and do testifie that the father sent the sonne which is the saveour of the worlde.

²⁵ yt is to saye to God oure saveour which only is wyse be glory maiestie dominion and power now and for ever. Amen.

⁵ and from Iesus Christ which is a faythfull witnes and fyrst begotte of the deed: and Lorde over the kinges of the erth. Vnto him that loved vs and wesshed vs fro synnes in his awne bloud

⁴⁷ and that repentaunce and remission of synnes shuld be preached in his name amonge all nacions and must beginne at Ierusalem. ⁴⁸ And ye are witnesses of these thinges.

³⁹ This spak he of the sprete which they that beleved on him shuld receave. For the holy goost was not yet there because that Iesus was not yet glorifyed.

²⁶ But when the comforter is come whom I will sende vnto you fro the father which is the sprete of truthe which proceadeth of the father he shall testifie of me.

⁷ Neverthelesse I tell you the trueth it is expedient for you that I goo awaye. For yf I goo not awaye that comforter will not come vnto you. But yf I departe I will sende him vnto you. ⁸ And when he is come he will rebuke ye worlde of synne and of rightwesnes and of iudgement. ⁹ Of synne because they beleve not on me: ¹⁰ Of rightwesnes because I go to my father and ye shall se me no moare: ¹¹ and of iudgement because the chefe ruler of this worlde is iudged all ready. ¹² I have yet many thinges to saye vnto you: but ye canot beare them awaye now. ¹³ How be it when he is come (I meane the sprete of truthe) he will leade yon into all trueth. He shall not speake of him selfe: but whatsoever he shall heare that shall he speake and he will shewe you thinges to come. ¹⁴ He shall glorify me for he shall receave of myne and shall shewe vnto you.

⁸ but ye shall receave power of the holy goost which shall come on you. And ye shall be witnesses vnto me in Ierusalem and in all Iewrye and in Samary and even vnto the worldes ende.

⁴ and they were all filled with the holy goost and beganne to speake with other tonges even as the sprete gave them vtteraunce.

³⁸ Peter sayde vnto them: repent and be baptised every one of you in the name of Iesus Christ for the remission of synnes and ye shall receave the gyfte of the holy goost. ³⁹ For ye promyse was made vnto you and to youre chyldre and to all that are afarre even as many as ye Lorde oure God shall call.

²⁹ Peter and the other Apostles answered and sayde: We ought moare to obey God then men.

³⁹ And we are witnesses of all thinges which he dyd in the londe of the Iewes and at Ierusalem whom they slew and honge on tree. ⁴⁰ Him God reysed vp ye thyrde daye and shewed him openly ⁴¹ not to all the people but vnto vs witnesses chosyn before of God which ate and dronke with him after he arose from deeth.

⁴⁴ Whyle Peter yet spake these wordes the holy gost fell on all them which hearde the preachinge.

³¹ and he was sene many dayes of them which came wt him fro Galile to Ierusalem. Which are his witnesses vnto the people.

²⁸ For it semed good to the holy gost and to vs to put no grevous thinge to you more then these necessary thinges:

¹ Now come I the thyrd tyme vnto you In the mouth of two or thre witnesses shall every thinge stonde.

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 ⁴ god bearynge witnes therto bothe with sygnes and wonders also and with divers miracles and gyftes of the holy gooste accordynge to his awne will.

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.

⁵ but vnto Cain and vnto his offrynge looked he not. And Cain was wroth exceadingly and loured. ⁶ And the LORde sayd vnto Cain: why art thou angry and why loureste thou? Wotest thou not yf thou dost well thou shalt receave it? ⁷ But and yf thou dost evell by and by thy synne lyeth open in the dore. Not withstondyng let it be subdued vnto the ad see thou rule it. ⁸ And Cain talked wyth Abell his brother.And as soone as they were in the feldes Cain fell vppon Abell his brother and slewe hym

²¹ and ye shall be hated of all me for my name. But he that endureth to the ende shalbe saved.

²⁵ Feare the not therfore. There is no thinge so close that shall not be openned and no thinge so hyd that shall not be knowen.

³⁴ Wherfore beholde I sende vnto you prophetes wyse men and scribes and of the ye shall kyll and crucifie: and of the ye shall scourge in youre synagoges and persecute from cyte to cyte ³⁵ that vpon you maye come all the righteous bloude that was sheed vpon the erth fro the bloud of righteous Abell vnto ye bloud of zacharias the sonne of Barachias who ye slewe betwene the teple and ye altre.

⁹ Then shall they put you to trouble and shall kyll you: and ye shalbe hated of all nacions for my names sake.

²⁸ And as many as were in ye sinagoge when they herde that were filled with wrath: ²⁹ and roose vp and thrust him oute of the cite and ledde him eve vnto the edge of the hill wher on their cite was bilte to cast him doune hedlynge.

¹¹ And they were filled full of madnes and comuned one with another what they myght do to Iesu.

⁵⁰ that the bloude of all Prophetes which was sheed fro the beginninge of the worlde maye be requyred of this generacion ⁵¹ from the bloud of Abell vnto the bloud of zachary which perisshed bitwene the aulter and the temple. Verely I saye vnto you: it shalbe requyred of this nacion. ⁵² Wo be to you lawears: for ye have taken awaye ye keye of knowledge ye entred not in youre selves and them that came in ye forbade. ⁵³ When he thus spake vnto them the lawears and the Pharises began to wexe busye about him and to stop his mouth with many questions ⁵⁴ layinge wayte for him and sekinge to catche somethinge of his mought wherby they might accuse him.

⁴⁵ And he went in to the temple and begane to cast out them that solde therin and them that bought ⁴⁶ sayinge vnto them yt is written: my housse is the housse of prayer: but ye have made it a den of theves. ⁴⁷ And he taught dayly in the temple. The hye Prestes and the Scribes and the chefe of the people went about to destroye him: ⁴⁸ but coulde not finde what to do. For all the people stacke by him and gave him audience.

²⁰ Remember the sayinge that I sayde vnto you: the servaute is not greater then his lorde. Yf they have persecuted me so will they persecute you Yf they have kept my sayinge so will they kepe youres.

² They shall excomunicat you: ye ye tyme shall come that whosoever killeth you will thinke that he doth God service.

³⁷ When they hearde this they were pricked in their hertes and sayd vnto Peter and vnto the other Apostles: Ye men and brethre what shall we do?

⁵⁴ When they hearde these thinges their hertes clave a sunder and they gnasshed on him with their tethe.

²³ And after a good whyle ye Iewes toke counsell to gether to kyll him.

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.

⁴⁶ And it fortuned after .iii. dayes that they founde him in the teple sittinge in the middes of the doctours both hearynge them and posinge them.

⁵⁰ Nicodemus sayde vnto them: He that came to Iesus by nyght and was one of them. ⁵¹ Doth oure lawe iudge eny man before it heare him and knowe what he hath done? ⁵² They answered and sayde vnto him: arte thou also of Galile? Searche and loke for out of Galile aryseth no Prophet. ⁵³ And every man went vnto his awne housse.

¹⁵ But they comaunded them to go a syde out of the counsell and counceled amoge them selves

³ I am verely aman which am a Iewe borne in Tharsus a cite in Cicill: neverthelesse yet brought vp in this cite at ye fete of Gamaliel and informed diligently in the lawe of the fathers and was fervent mynded to Godwarde as ye all are this same daye

⁷ And when he had so sayde ther arose a debate bitwene the Pharisayes and ye Saduces and the multitude was devided. ⁸ For ye Saduces saye that ther is no resurreccio nether angell nor sprete. But the Pharisayes graunt bothe. ⁹ And ther arose a great crye and the Scribes which were of the Pharisayes parte arose and strove sayinge: we fynde none evyll in this man. Though a sprete or an angell hath apered to him let vs not stryve agaynst God.

¹⁹ When he was set doune to geve iudgemet his wyfe sent to him sayinge: have thou nothinge to do with that iuste man. For I have suffered many thinges this daye in a dreame about him.

³⁶ Seinge then yt no man sayth here agaynst ye ought to be content and to do nothinge rasshly:

²⁶ When the Centurion hearde that he went and tolde the vpper captayne sayinge: What intendest thou to do? This man is a Romayne.

²⁴ For there shall arise false christes and false prophete and shall do great myracles and wondres. In so moche yt if it were possible ye verie electe shuld be deceaved.

²⁶ Wherfore if they shall saye vnto you: beholde he is in ye desert go not forth: beholde he is in ye secret places beleve not.

⁹ And ther was a certayne man called Simon which before tyme in the same cite vsed witche crafte and bewitched the people of Samarie sayinge that he was a man yt coulde do greate thinges

³⁸ Arte not thou that Egypcian which before these dayes made an vproure and ledde out into the wildernes .iiii. thousande men that were mortherers?

⁶ Of the which seme to be great (what they were in tyme passed it maketh no matter to me: God loketh on no mans person) neverthelesse they which seme great added nothynge to me.

³ If eny ma seme to him silfe that he is somwhat whe in dede he is nothynge the same deceaveth hym silfe in his ymaginacion.

³ Let no ma deceave you by eny meanes for the lorde commeth not excepte ther come a departynge fyrst and that that synfnll man be opened ye sonne of perdicion ⁴ which is an adversarie and is exalted above all that is called god or that is worshipped: so that he shall sitt as God in temple of god and shew him silfe as god. ⁵ Remember ye not that when I was yet with you I tolde you these thynges? ⁶ And nowe ye knowe what with holdeth: even that he myght be vttered at his tyme. ⁷ For the mistery of that iniquitie doeth he all readie worke which onlie loketh vntill it be taken out of ye waye.

² and many shall folowe their damnable wayes by which the waye of trueth shalbe evyll spoken of

¹⁸ For when they have spoke the swellinge wordes of vanytie they begyle wt wantanes thorowe yt lustes of the flesshe them that were clene escaped: but now are wrapped in errours.

¹⁶ These are murmurers complayners walkynge after their awne lustes whose mouthes speake proude thynges. They have men in greate reverence be cause of a vauntage.

³ And he caryed me a waye into the wildernes in the sprete. And I sawe a woman sytt apon a rose colored best full of names of blaphemie which had ten hornes.

⁵ And in her forhed was a name wrytten a mistery gret Babylon the mother of whordome and abominacions of the erth.

⁵² Then sayde Iesus vnto him: put vp thy swearde into his sheathe. For all that ley hond on ye swearde shall perisshe with ye swearde.

¹ And it chaunced in thoose dayes: yt ther went oute a comaundment from Auguste the Emperour that all the woorlde shuld be taxed. ² And this taxynge was ye fyrst and executed when Syrenius was leftenaut in Syria.

¹ Ther were present at the same season that shewed him of ye Galileas whose bloude Pylate mengled with their awne sacrifice. ² And Iesus answered and sayde vnto them: Suppose ye that these Galileans were greater synners then all the other Galileas because they suffred suche punisshmet?

¹³ He answered and sayde: all plantes which my hevely father hath not planted shalbe plucked vp by the rotes.

⁴⁸ Yf we let him scape thus all men will beleve on him and ye Romaynes shall come and take awaye oure countre and the people.

³⁵ and sayde vnto them: Men of Israel take hede to youre selves what ye entende to do as touchinge these men

²⁶ Brethren loke on youre callinge how that not many wyse men after the flesshe not many myghty not many of hye degre are called: ²⁷ but God hath chosen the folysshe thinges of the worlde to confounde the wyse. And God hath chosyn the weake thinges of the worlde to confounde thinges which are mighty. ²⁸ And vile thinges of the worlde and thinges which are despysed hath God chosen yee and thinges of no reputacion for to brynge to nought thinges of reputacion

¹⁹ For ye wisdome of this worlde is folysshnes with god. For it is writte: he compaseth the wyse in their craftynes.

⁵⁰ Than answered Laban and Bathuel saynge: The thinge is proceded even out of the lorde we can not therfore saye vnto the ether good or bad:

³ Than Moses ad Aaron went in vnto Pharao and sayde vnto him: thus sayth the Lorde God of the Hebrues: how longe shall it be, or thou wilt submyt thy selfe vnto me? Let my people goo that they maye serue me. ⁴ Yf thou wilt not let my people goo: beholde, tomorow will I brynge greshoppers in to thy lande, ⁵ and they shall couer the face of the erth that it can not be sene, ad they shall eate the residue which remayneth vnto you and escaped the hayle and they shall eate all youre grene trees vpon the felde, ⁶ and they shall fill thy housses and all thy servauntes housses, and the housses of all the Egiptias after soch a maner: as nether thy fathers nor thy fathers fathers haue sene, sence the tyme they were apon the erthe vnto thys daye. And he turned him silfe aboute, ad went out from Pharao. ⁷ And Pharaos servauntes sayde vnto hym: Howe longe shall this felowe thus plage vs? Let the men goo that they maye serue the Lorde their God, or els wilt thou see Egipte first destroyed?

¹⁸ And I saye also vnto the yt thou arte Peter: and apon this rocke I wyll bylde my congregacion. And the gates of hell shall not prevayle ageynst it.

¹⁵ for I will geve you a mouth and wisdome where agaynste all youre adversarys shall not be able to speake nor resist.

¹⁰ And they coulde not resist the wysdome and the sprete with which he spake.

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

⁵ And he sayde what arte thou lorde? And the lorde sayd I am Iesus whom thou persecutest it shalbe harde for ye to kycke agaynst ye pricke.

¹⁷ For as moche then as God gave the lyke gyftes as he dyd vnto vs when we beleved on the Lorde Iesus Christ: what was I that I shuld have with stonde God?

⁹ And ther arose a great crye and the Scribes which were of the Pharisayes parte arose and strove sayinge: we fynde none evyll in this man. Though a sprete or an angell hath apered to him let vs not stryve agaynst God.

²⁵ For the folishnes of God is wyser then me: and the weakenes of God is stronger then men.

²² Ether shall we provoke the lorde? Or are we stronger then he? All thynges are laufull vnto me but all thynges are not expedient.

¹² And the ten hornes which thou seist are ten kynges which have receaved no kyngdome but shall receave power as kynges at one houre with the beest. ¹³ These have one mynde and shall geve their power and strenghte vnto ye beste. 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.

¹⁷ And ye shall be brought to the heed rulers and kynges for my sake in witnes to them and to the gentyls.

³⁴ Wherfore beholde I sende vnto you prophetes wyse men and scribes and of the ye shall kyll and crucifie: and of the ye shall scourge in youre synagoges and persecute from cyte to cyte

⁹ But take ye hede to youre selves. For they shall bringe you vp to ye counsels and into ye synagoges and ye shalbe beaten: ye and shalbe brought before rulers and kynges for my sake for a testimoniall vnto them.

¹⁰ And when the tyme was come he sent a servaut to his tennauntes that they shuld geve him of the frutes of the vyneyarde. And the tennauntes dyd bet him and sent him awaye empty.

¹ Then Pylate toke Iesus and scourged him. ² And ye soudiers wounde a croune of thornes and put it on his heed. And they dyd on him a purple garment ³ and sayd: hayll kynge of the Iewes: and they smote him on the face. ⁴ Pylate went forthe agayne and sayde vnto them: beholde I bringe him forth to you that ye maye knowe that I fynde no faute in him.

¹⁷ But that it be noysed no farther amoge the people let us threaten and charge them that they speake hence forth to no man in this name.

²⁸ sayinge: dyd not we straytely comaunde you that ye shuld not teache in this name? And beholde ye have filled Ierusalem with youre doctrine and ye intende to brynge this mans bloud vpon vs.

²⁴ Of the Iewes five tymes receaved I every tyme .xl. strypes saue one.

¹⁰ Blessed are they which suffre persecucio for rightwesnes sake: for theirs ys the kyngdome of heuen. ¹¹ Blessed are ye when men reuyle you and persecute you and shall falsly say all manner of yvell saynges agaynst you for my sake. ¹² Reioyce and be glad for greate is youre rewarde in heven. + For so persecuted they ye Prophetes which were before youre dayes.

²² Blessed are ye when men hate you and thrust you oute of their companye and rayle and abhorre youre name as an evyll thinge for the sonne of manes sake.

²¹ But all these thinges will they do vnto you for my names sake because they have not knowen him that sent me.

²³ And when they had beaten them sore they cast them into preson comaundynge the iayler to kepe them surely. ²⁴ Which iayler when he had receaved suche comaundment thrust them into the ynner preson and made their fete fast in the stockes. ²⁵ At mydnyght Paul and Sylas prayed and lauded God. And the presoners hearde them.

³ Nether do we so only: but also we reioyce in tribulacion. For we know that tribulacion bringeth pacience

¹⁰ Therfore have I delectacion in infirmities in rebukes in nede in persecucions in anguyshe for Christis sake. For when I am weake then am I stronge.

²⁹ For vnto you it is geven that not only ye shulde beleve on Christ: but also suffre for his sake

³⁴ For ye suffered also with my bondes and toke a worth the spoylynge of youre goodes and that with gladnes knowynge in youre selves how that ye had in heven a better and an endurynge substaunce

² My brethren count it excedynge ioye when ye faule into divers teptacions

¹³ but reioyce in as moche as ye are partetakers of Christes passions that when his glory appereth ye maye be mery and glad. ¹⁴ If ye be rayled vpon for the name of Christ happie are ye. For the sprete of glory and the sprete of god resteth apon you. On their parte he is evyll spoken of: but on youre parte he is glorified. 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. ¹⁶ Yf eny man suffre as a Christe man let him not be ashamed: but let him glorifie god on his behalfe.
