¹ And Bezaleel wrought and Ahaliab ad all wyse harted me to whom the Lorde had geuen wysdome and vnderstondynge, to knowe how to worke all maner worke for the holye service, in all that the Lorde commaunded. ² And Moses called for Bezaleel Ahaliab and all the wise harted men in whose hertes the Lorde had put wysdome, eue as many ab their hartes coraged to come vnto the worke to worke it. ³ And they receaued of Moses all the heueoffrynges which the childern of Israel had brought for the worke of the holye service to make it with all. And they brought besyde that wyllyngeoffringes euery mornyng. ⁴ And all the wise men that wrought all the holye worke, came euery man from his worke which they made,

⁷ For whosoever axeth receaveth and he yt seketh fyndeth and to hym that knocketh it shalbe opened. ⁸ Ys there eny man amoge you which if his sonne axed hym bread wolde offer him astone? ⁹ Or if he axed fysshe wolde he proffer hym a serpet? ¹⁰ Yf ye then which are evyll cane geve to youre chyldren good gyftes: how moche moore shall youre father which is in heve geve good thynges to them yt axe hym? ¹¹ Therfore whatsoever ye wolde that men shulde do to you even so do ye to them. This ys the lawe and the Prophettes.

²⁰ Then bega he to vpbrayd the cities in which most of his miracles were done because they meded not.

¹⁴ After that he appered vnto the eleve as they sate at meate: and cast in their tethe their vnbelefe and hardnes of herte: be cause they beleued not them which had sene him after his resurreccio.

⁹ And I saye vnto you: axe and it shalbe geven you. Seke and ye shall fynde. knocke and it shalbe opened vnto you. ¹⁰ For every one that axeth receaveth: and he that seketh fyndeth: and to him that knocketh shall it be openned. ¹¹ Yf the sonne shall axe breed of eny of you that is a father: wyll he geve him a stone? Or yf he axe fisshe wyll he for a fysshe geve him a serpent? ¹² Or yf he axe an egge: wyll he offer him a scorpion? ¹³ Yf ye then which are evyll canne geve good giftes vnto youre chyldren how moche more shall the father of heaven geve an holy sprete to them that desyre it of him?

²⁰ And he arose and went to his father. And when he was yet a greate waye of his father sawe him and had compassion and ran and fell on his necke and kyssed him. ²¹ And the sonne sayd vnto him: father I have synned agaynst heven and in thy sight and am no moare worthy to be called thy sonne. ²² But his father sayde to his servautes: bringe forth that best garment and put it on him and put a rynge on his honde and showes on his fete.

¹⁰ Iesus answered and sayde vnto hir: yf thou knewest the gyfte of God and who it is that sayeth to the geve me drynke thou woldest have axed of him and he wolde have geven the water of lyfe.

¹³ And what soever ye axe in my name yt will I do yt the father might be glorified by the sonne.

⁷ Yf ye byde in me and my wordes also byde in you: axe what ye will and it shalbe done to you .

²³ And in that daye shall ye axe me no question. Verely verely I saye vnto you whatsoever ye shall axe the father in my name he will geve it you ²⁴ 24. Hitherto have ye axed nothinge in my name. Axe and ye shall receave it: that youre ioye maye be full.

¹⁶ To the one parte are we ye savoure of deeth vnto deeth. And vnto the other parte are we the savoure of lyfe vnto lyfe. And who is mete vnto these thinges?

¹⁷ Every good gyfte and every parfayt gyft is from above and commeth doune fro the father of light with whom is no variablenes nether is he chaunged vnto darcknes.

¹⁷ But the wisdom that is from above is fyrst pure then peasable gentle and easy to be entreated full of mercy and good frutes without iudgynge and without simulacio:

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.

²² and what soever we axe we shall receave of him: be cause we kepe his commaundementes and do those thinges which are pleasinge in his sight.

¹⁴ And this is the trust that we have in him: that yf we axe eny thinge accordynge to his will he heareth vs. ¹⁵ And yf we knowe that he heare vs what soever we axe we knowe that we shall have the peticions that we desyre of him.

⁴ As vnstable as water wast thou: thou shalt therfore not be the chefest for thou wenst vp vpo thy fathers bedd and than defyledest thou my couche with goynge vppe.

²¹ Iesus answered and sayde vnto the: Verely I saye vnto you yf ye shall have faith and shall not dout ye shall not only do that which I have done to the fygge tree: but also yf ye shall saye vnto this moutayne take thy silfe awaye and cast thy silfe into the see it shalbe done. ²² And whatsoever ye shall axe in prayer (if ye beleve) ye shall receave it.

²² And Iesus answered and sayde vnto them: Have confides in God. ²³ Verely I saye vnto you that whosoever shall saye vnto this mountayne: take awaye thy silfe and cast thy silfe in to the see and shall not waver in his herte but shall beleve yt those thinges which he sayeth shall come to passe what soever he sayeth shalbe done to him. ²⁴ Therfore I saye vnto you what soever ye desyre when ye praye beleve yt ye shall have it and it shalbe done vnto you.

¹⁴ That we hence forth be no moare chyldren wauerynge and caryed with every wynde of doctryne by the wylynes of men and craftynes wherby they laye a wayte for vs to deceave vs.

⁸ I wyll therfore that the men praye every where liftynge vp pure hondes without wrath or dowtinge.

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

⁶ but with out fayth it is vnpossible to please him. For he that commeth to God must beleve that God is and that he is a rewarder of them that seke him.

⁹ Be not caryed aboute with divers and straunge learnynge. For it is a good thynge that the herte be stablisshed with grace and not with meates which have not proffeted them that have had their pastyme in them.

¹⁷ These are welles without water and cloudes caried about of a tepest to whome the myst of darcknes is reserved for ever.

¹² These are spottes which of youre kindnes feast to gedder with out feare fedynge them selves. Cloudes they are with outen water caried about of wyndes and trees with out frute at gadringe tyme twyse deed and plucked vp by the rotes. ¹³ They are the ragynge waves of ye see fominge out their awne shame. They are wandrynge starres to whom is reserved the myst of darcknes for ever.

³ Ye axe and receave not because ye axe a mysse: even to consume it apon youre volupteousnes.

²² But and if thyne eye be wycked then all thy body shalbe full of derckenes. Wherfore yf the light that is in the be darckenes: how greate is that darckenes.

²⁴ Therfore I saye vnto you be not carefull for your lyfe what ye shall eate or what ye shall drincke nor yet for youre body what ye shall put on. ys not ye lyfe more worth then meate and the body more of value then raymeut?

⁸ Drawe nye to god and he will drawe nye to you. Clense youre hondes ye synners and pourdge youre hertes ye waverynge mynded.

¹⁴ havinge eyes full of advoutrie and that canot cease to synne begylynge vnstable soules. Hertes they have exercised wt coveteousnes. They are cursed chyldren

¹⁶ yee almost in very pistle speakynge of soche thynges: amoge which are many thynges harde to be vnderstonde which they that are vnlearned and vnstable pervert as they do other scriptures vnto their awne destruccio.

⁷ When one of thi brethern amonge you is waxed poore in any of thi cities within thi lode which the Lorde thi God geueth the, se that thou harden not thine hert nor shetto thyne hande from thi poore brother:

⁹ And beware that there be not a poynte of Belial in thine hert, that thou woldest saye. The seuenth yere, the yere of fredome is at honde, and therfore it greue the to loke on thy poore brother and geuest him nought and he then crye vnto the Lorde agenst the and it be synne vnto the:

¹¹ For the londe shall neuer be without poore. Wherfore I comaunde the sayenge: open thine hande vnto thi brother that is neady ad poore in thy lande.

⁵² He putteth doune the myghty from their seates and exalteth them of lowe degre.

⁴⁸ and sayd vnto the: Whosoever receaveth this chylde in my name receaveth me. And whosoever receaveth me receaveth him yt sent me. For he yt is least amonge you all the same shalbe greate.

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

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

¹⁷ Yf we be sonnes we are also heyres the heyres I meane of God and heyres anexed with Christ: if so be that we suffer togedder that we maye be glorified to gedder.

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

³ For we are circucision which worshippe god in the sprete and reioyce in Christ Iesu and have no confidence in the flesshe:

¹⁴ and preace vnto ye marke apoynted to obtayne the rewarde of the hye callynge of god in Christ Iesu.

⁵ Harken my deare beloved brethren. Hath not God chosen the poore of this worlde which are ryche in fayth and heyres of the kyngdom which he promysed to them that love him? ⁶ But ye have despised the poore. Are not the rych they which opresse you: and they which drawe you before iudges?

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

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.

⁹ I knowe thy workes and tribulacion and poverte but thou art ryche: And I knowe the blaspemy of them whiche call them selves Iewes and are not: but are the congregacio of sathan.

⁹ and they songe a newe songe saynge: thou art worthy to take ye boke and to ope ye seales therof: for thou waste kylled and haste redemed vs by thy bloud out of all kynreddes and tonges and people and nacions ¹⁰ and haste made vs vnto oure god kynges and prestes and we shall raygne on the erth.

⁹ After this I behelde and lo a gret multitude (which noma coulde nombre) of all nacios and people and tonges stode before the seate and before the lambe clothed with longe whyte garmentes and palmes in there hondes ¹⁰ and cryed with a lowde voyce sayinge: salvacion be asscribed to him that syttith apon the seate of oure god and vnto the lambe.

³ Blessed are the povre in sprete: for theirs is the kyngdome of heven.

³⁰ Therfore take no thought sayinge: what shall we eate or what shall we drincke or wherwt shall we be clothed?

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

⁸ Ye I thinke all thynges but losse for that excellet knowledges sake of Christ Iesu my lorde. For whom I have counted all thynge losse and do iudge them but donge that I myght wynne Christ

¹⁷ Charge them that are ryche in this worlde that they be not excedynge wyse and that they trust not in the vncertayne ryches but in the livynge god which geveth vs aboundantly all thynges to enioye them

¹⁴ and yet can not tell what shall happen to morowe. For what thynge is youre lyfe? It is even a vapoure that apereth for a lytell tyme and the vanyssheth awaye:

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

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

⁷ And the lorde ordeyned a worme agenst the springe of ye morow mornige which smote the wild vine that it wethered awaye. ⁸ And assone as the sonne was vpp God prepared a feruent eest winde: so that ye sonne bete ouer the heed of Ionas that he fainted agayne ad wished vn to hys soule that he might dye and sayd it is better for me to dye then to liue.

⁶ and when ye sunne was vp it cauht heet and for lake of rotynge wyddred awaye.

⁶ but as sone as the sunne was vp it caught heet and because it had not rotynge wyddred awaye.

¹⁶ And he put forth a similitude vnto them sayinge: The groude of a certayne riche ma brought forth frutes plenteously ¹⁷ and he thought in himsilfe sayinge: what shall I do? because I have noo roume where to bestowe my frutes? ¹⁸ And he sayde: This will I do. I will destroye my barnes and bilde greater and therin will I gadder all my frutes and my goodes: ¹⁹ and I will saye to my soule: Soule thou hast moch goodes layde vp in stoore for many yeares take thyne ease: eate drinke and be mery. ²⁰ But God sayde vnto him: Thou fole this night will they fetche awaye thy soule agayne from the. Then whose shall thoose thinges be which thou hast provyded? ²¹ So is it with him that gadereth ryches and is not ryche in God.

¹⁹ Ther was a certayne ryche man which was clothed in purple and fyne bysse and fared deliciously every daye. ²⁰ And ther was a certayne begger named Lazarus whiche laye at his gate full of soores ²¹ desyringe to be refresshed with the cromes whiche fell from the ryche manes borde. Neverthelesse the dogges came and licked his soores. ²² And yt fortuned that the begger dyed and was caried by the angelles into Abrahas bosome. The riche man also died and was buried. ²³ And beinge in hell in tormetes he lyfte vp his eyes and sawe Abraham a farre of and Lazarus in his bosome ²⁴ and he cryed and sayd: father Abraham have mercy on me and sende Lazarus that he maye dippe the tippe of his fynger in water and cole my tonge: for I am tourmented in this flame. ²⁵ But Abraha sayd vnto him Sonne remembre that thou in thy lyfe tyme receavedst thy pleasure and contrary wyse Lazarus payne. Now therfore is he comforted and thou art punysshed.

¹ Goo to now ye ryche men. Wepe and howle on youre wretchednes that shall come apon you. ² Youre ryches is corrupte youre garmentes are motheaten. ³ Youre golde and youre silver are cankred and the rust of them shalbe a witnes vnto you and shall eate youre flesshe as it were fyre. Ye have heaped treasure togedder in youre last dayes: ⁴ Beholde the hyre of ye labourers which have reped doune youre feldes (which hyer is of you kept backe by fraude) cryeth: and ye cryes of them which have reped are entred into the eares of the lorde Sabaoth. ⁵ Ye have lived in pleasure on the erth and in wantannes. Ye have norysshed youre hertes as in a daye of slaughter. ⁶ Ye have condempned and have killed the iust and he hath not resisted you. ⁷ Be pacient therfore brethren vnto the commynge of the lorde. Beholde the husbande man wayteth for the precious frute of the erth and hath longe pacience ther vppon vntill he receave (the erly and the latter rayne.)

⁴ to enioye an inheritaunce immortall and vndefiled and that purifieth not reserved in heven for you

⁴ And when the chef shepheerde shall appere ye shall receave an incorruptible croune of glorye.

⁶ and yet shewe mercie vnto thousandes amonge them that loue me and kepe my commaundmentes.

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

² And thinke on all the waye which the Lorde thy God led the this .xl. yere in the wildernesse, for to humble the ad to proue the, to wete what was in thine herte, whether thou woldest kepe his commaundmentes or no,

³ herken not vnto the wordes of that prophete or dreamer of dreames. For the Lorde thy God tepteth you, to wete whether ye loue the Lord youre God with all youre hertes ad with al youre soules.

²⁸ Iesus sayde vnto them: verely I saye to you: when the sonne of man shall syt in ye seate of his maieste ye which folowe me in ye seconde generacion shall syt also vpon .xii. seates and iudge ye .xii. tribes of Israel. ²⁹ And whosoever forsaketh housses or brethren or systers other father or mother or wyfe or chyldren or landes for my names sake ye same shall receave an hundred folde and shall inheret everlastynge lyfe.

³⁴ Then shall the kynge saye to them on his right honde: Come ye blessed chyldren of my father inheret ye the kyngdo prepared for you from the beginninge of the worlde.

²⁸ Ye are they which have bidden with me in my temptacions. ²⁹ And I apoynt vnto you a kyngdome as my father hath appoynted to me: ³⁰ that ye maye eate and drynke at my table in my kyngdome and sit on seates and iudge the twelve tribes of Israell.

⁷ that is to saye prayse honoure and immortalite to them which cotinue in good doynge and seke eternall lyfe. ⁸ But vnto them that are rebellious and disobey the trueth yet folowe iniquytie shall come indignacion and wrath ⁹ tribulacion and anguysshe vpon the soule of every man that doth evyll: of the Iewe fyrst and also of the gentyll. ¹⁰ To every man that doth good shall come prayse honoure and peace to ye Iewe fyrst and also to the gentyll.

⁹ But as it is written: The eye hath not sene and the eare hath not hearde nether have entred into the herte of man ye thinges which God hath prepared for them that love him.

³ But yf eny man love god the same is knowen of him.

²⁵ Euery man yt proveth masteryes abstaineth from all thinges. And they do it to obtayne a corruptible croune: but we to obtayne an vncorruptible croune:

⁸ From hence forth is layde vp for me a croune of rightewesnes which the lorde that is a righteous iudge shall geve me at that daye: not to me only but vnto all them that love his commynge.

¹⁵ And so after that he had taryed a longe tyme he enioyed the promes.

³² Call to remebraunce the dayes that are passed in the which after ye had receaved light ye endured a greate fyght in adversities

¹⁷ In fayth Abraham offered vp Isaac whe he was tempted and he offered him beinge his only begotten sonne which had receaved the promyses

⁵ And ye have forgotten the consolacion which speaketh vnto you as vnto chyldren: My sonne despyse not the chastenynge of the Lorde nether faynt when thou arte rebuked of him:

² My brethren count it excedynge ioye when ye faule into divers teptacions ³ for as moche as ye knowe how that the tryinge of youre fayth bringeth pacience: ⁴ and let pacience have her parfect worke that ye maye be parfecte and sounde lackinge nothinge.

⁵ Harken my deare beloved brethren. Hath not God chosen the poore of this worlde which are ryche in fayth and heyres of the kyngdom which he promysed to them that love him?

¹¹ Beholde we counte them happy which endure. Ye have hearde of the pacience of Iob and have knowen what ende the lorde made. For the lorde is very pitifull and mercifull.

¹⁴ Not withstondynge happy are ye yf ye suffre for rightewesnessis sake. Ye and feare not though they seme terrible vnto you nether be troubled:

¹³ but reioyce in as moche as ye are partetakers of Christes passions that when his glory appereth ye maye be mery and glad.

¹⁹ We love him for he loved vs fyrst.

¹⁹ As many as I love I rebuke and chasten. Be fervent therfore and repet.

²¹ To him that overcommeth will I graunte to sytt with me in my seate evyn as I overcam and have sytten with my father in his seate.

¹² And Adam answered. The woman which thou gavest to bere me company she toke me of the tree ad I ate.

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?

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

⁵ And whan the LORde sawe yt the wekednesse of man was encreased apon the erth and that all the ymaginacion and toughtes of his hert was only evell continually

²¹ And the LORDE smellyd a swete savoure and sayd in his hert: I wyll henceforth no more curse the erth for mannes sake for the imagynacion of mannes hert is evell even from the very youth of hym. Morover I wyll not destroy from henceforth all that lyveth as I haue done.

²⁸ But I say vnto you that whosoeuer looketh on a wyfe lustynge after her hathe comitted advoutrie with hir alredy in his hert.

¹⁸ But those thingis which procede out of the mouth come from the herte and they defyle the man.

²⁰ These are the thingis which defyle a man. But to eate with vnwesshen hondes defyleth not a man.

²¹ For fro wt in even oute of the herte of men proceade evill thoughtes: advantry fornicacion murder ²² theeft coveteousnes wickednes diceyte vnclennes and a wicked eye blasphemy pryde folysshnes:

¹¹ For synne toke occasion by the meanes of the comaundement and so disceaved me and by the selfe commaundement slewe we.

¹³ Was that then which is good made deeth vnto me? God forbyd. Naye synne was deeth vnto me that it myght appere how that synne by the meanes of that which is good had wrought deeth in me: that synne which is vnder the commandemet myght be out of measure synfull.

²² So then as concernynge the coversacion in tyme past laye from you that olde ma which is corrupte thorow the deceavable lustes

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

¹ From whence commeth warre and fighttynge amonge you: come they not here hence? even of youre volupteousnes that rayne in youre members. ² Ye lust and have not. Ye envie and have indignacion and cannot obtayne. Ye fight and warre and have not because ye axe not.

¹⁷ But of the tre of knowlege of good and badd se that thou eate not: for even ye same daye thou eatest of it thou shalt surely dye.

⁶ And the woman sawe that it was a good tree to eate of and lustie vnto the eyes and a pleasant tre for to make wyse. And toke of the frute of it and ate and gaue vnto hir husband also with her and he ate.

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 ¹⁸ And it shall beare thornes ad thystels vnto the. And thou shalt eate the herbes of ye feld: ¹⁹ In the swete of thy face shalt thou eate brede vntill thou returne vnto the erth whece thou wast take: for erth thou art ad vnto erth shalt thou returne.

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

¹⁴ Then one of the twelve called Iudas Iscarioth went vnto the chefe prestes

⁴⁸ And he that betrayed him had geven the a token sayinge: whosoever I kysse yt same is he ley hondes on him. ⁴⁹ And forth wt all he came to Iesus and sayde: hayle master and kyssed him. ⁵⁰ And Iesus sayde vnto him: frende wherfore arte thou come? Then came they and layed hondes on Iesus and toke him. ⁵¹ And beholde one of them which were with Iesus stretched oute his honde and drue his swearde and stroke a servaunt of the hye preste and smote of his eare. 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. ⁵³ Ether thinkest thou that I cannot now praye to my father and he shall geve me moo then .xii. legions of angelles? ⁵⁴ But how then shuld the scriptures be fulfylled: for so must it be. ⁵⁵ The same tyme sayd Iesus to the multitude: ye be come out as it were vnto a thefe with sweardes and staves for to take me. I sate daylie teachinge in the temple amoge you and ye toke me not. ⁵⁶ All this was done that the scriptures of the Prophetes myght be fulfilled. ⁵⁷ Then all the disciples forsoke him and fleed. And they toke Iesus and leed him to Cayphas the hye preeste where the Scribes and the Elders where assembled. ⁵⁸ And Peter folowed him a farre of vnto the hye prestes place: and went in and sate with the servauntes to se the ende. ⁵⁹ The chefe prestes and the elders and all the counsell sought false witnes agenste Iesus for to put him to deeth

¹ A certayne man named Ananias with Saphira his wyfe solde a possession ² and kepte awaye parte of the pryce (his wyfe also beynge of counsell) and brought a certayne parte and layde it doune at the Apostles fete. ³ Then sayde Peter: Ananias how is it that Satan hath filled thyne hert that thou shuldest lye vnto the holy goost and kepe awaye parte of the pryce of the lyvelod:

¹² Wherfore as by one ma synne entred into the worlde and deeth by the meanes of synne. And so deeth went over all men in somoche that all men synned. ¹³ For even vnto the tyme of the lawe was synne in the worlde: but synne was not regarded as longe as ther was no lawe: ¹⁴ neverthelesse deeth rayned fro Adam to Moses eve over them also that synned not wt lyke transgression as dyd Adam: which is ye similitude of him that is to come. ¹⁵ But the gyfte is not lyke as the synne. For yf thorow the synne of one many be deed: moche more plenteous vpon many was the grace of God and gyfte by grace: which grace was geven by one man Iesus Christ. ¹⁶ And ye gifte is not over one synne as deeth cam thorow one synne of one yt synned. For damnacion cam of one synne vnto condemnacion: but the gyft cam to iustify fro many synnes. ¹⁷ For yf by the synne of one deeth raigned by the meanes of one moche more shall they which receave aboundance of grace and of the gyfte of rightewesnes raygne in lyfe by the meanes of one (that is to saye) Iesus Christ. ¹⁸ Lykewyse then as by the synne of one condemnacion cam on all men: eve so by the iustifyinge of one cometh the rightewesnes that bringeth lyfe vpo all men. ¹⁹ For as by one manes disobediece many be cam synners: so by ye obediece of one shall many be made righteous. ²⁰ But ye lawe in the meane tyme entred in yt synne shuld encreace. Neverthelater where aboundaunce of synne was there was more plenteousnes of grace. ²¹ That as synne had raigned vnto deeth even so might grace raygne thorow rightewesnes vnto eternall lyfe by the helpe of Iesu Christ.

²¹ What frute had ye then in tho thinges wher of ye are now ashamed. For the ende of tho thynges is deeth. ²² But now are ye delivered from synne and made the servauntes of God and have youre frute that ye shuld be sanctifyed and the ende everlastinge lyfe. ²³ For the rewarde of synne is deeth: but eternall lyfe is the gyfte of God thorow Iesus Christ oure Lorde.

¹⁴ And deth and hell were cast into the lake of fyre. This is that second deeth. ¹⁵ And whosoever was not founde written in the boke of lyfe was cast into the lake of fyre.

²⁹ Iesus answered and sayde vnto the: ye are deceaved and vnderstonde not the scriptures nor yet the power of God.

²⁴ Iesus answered and sayde vnto them: Are ye not therfore deceaved and vnderstonde not the scryptures nether the power of God?

²⁷ He is not the God of the deed but the God of the livynge. Ye are therfore greatly deceaved.

⁹ Do ye not remember how that the vnrighteous shall not inheret the kyngdome of God? Be not deceaved. For nether fornicators nether worshyppers of ymages nether whormongers nether weaklinges nether abusars of them selves with the mankynde

⁷ 7. Be not deceaved God is not mocked. For what soever a man soweth yt shall he reepe.

¹² Wherfore my dearly beloved as ye have al ways obeyed not when I was present only but now moche more in myne absence even so worke out youre awne saluacio with feare and tremblynge.

¹ Herfore my brethren dearly beloved and longed for my ioye and croune so continue in the lorde ye beloved.

⁴ This I saye lest eny man shuld begyle you with entysinge wordes.

⁸ Beware lest eny ma come and spoyle you thorow philosophy and disceatfull vanitie thorow the tradicions of me and ordinaunces after the worlde and not after christ.

¹⁸ which as concernynge the trueth have erred sayinge that the resurreccion is past all redy and do destroye the fayth of divers persones.

¹ Let brotherly love continue.

¹⁹ Wherfore deare brethren let every man be swyfte to heare slowe to speake and slowe to wrath.

² The erth was voyde and emptie ad darcknesse was vpon the depe and the spirite of god moved vpon the water ³ Than God sayd: let there be lyghte and there was lyghte. ⁴ And God sawe the lyghte that it was good: and devyded the lyghte from the darcknesse ⁵ and called the lyghte daye and the darcknesse nyghte: and so of the evenynge and mornynge was made the fyrst daye

¹⁴ Than sayd God: let there be lyghtes in ye firmament of heaven to devyde the daye fro the nyghte that they may be vnto sygnes seasons days and yeares. ¹⁵ And let them be lyghtes in the fyrmament of heave to shyne vpon the erth. and so it was.

¹⁶ And Ioseph answered Pharao saynge: God shall geue Pharao an answere of peace without me.

³⁸ Than sayde Pharao vnto his seruavauntes: where shall we fynde soch a ma as this is that hath the sprete of God in him? ³⁹ wherfore Pharao sayde vnto Ioseph: for as moch as God hath shewed the all this there is no man of vnderstondyng nor of wysdome lyke vnto the

¹¹ And the Lorde sayde vnto hi: who hath made mas mouth, or who hath made the domme or the deaff, the seynge or the blynde? haue not I the Lorde? ¹² Go therfore and I wilbe with thy mouth and teach the what thou shalt saye.

³ And I haue filled hi with the sprete of God, with wisdome, vnderstondinge ad knowlege: eue in all maner worke, ⁴ to finde out sotle faytes, to worke in golde syluer ad brasse ⁵ and with the crafte to graue stones, to set ad to carue in tibre ad to worke in all maner workmashipe. ⁶ And beholde, I haue geue him to be his companion Ahaliab the sonne of Ahisamach of the tribe of Dan, and in the hertes of all that are wise harted I haue put wisdom to make all that I haue commaunded the:

¹ And Bezaleel wrought and Ahaliab ad all wyse harted me to whom the Lorde had geuen wysdome and vnderstondynge, to knowe how to worke all maner worke for the holye service, in all that the Lorde commaunded. ² And Moses called for Bezaleel Ahaliab and all the wise harted men in whose hertes the Lorde had put wysdome, eue as many ab their hartes coraged to come vnto the worke to worke it.

¹⁷ And I wyll come doune and talke with the there and take of yt spirite which is apon the and put apon them ad they shall bere with the in the burthen of the people and so shalt thou not beare alone.

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.

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?

¹⁹ Ye and leste thou lyfte vpp thyne eyes vnto heuen, and when thou seyst the sonne and the mone and the starres and what soeuer is contayned in heauen, shuldest be disceaued and shuldest bow thi selfe vnto them ad serue the thinges which the Lorde thy God hath distributed vnto all nacions that are vnder al quarters of heauen.

¹¹ Therfore whatsoever ye wolde that men shulde do to you even so do ye to them. This ys the lawe and the Prophettes.

²⁵ At yt tyme Iesus answered and sayd: I prayse ye o father lorde of heve and erth because thou hast hid these thinges fro the wyse and prudet and hast opened the vnto babes: ²⁶ eve so father for so it pleased ye.

¹¹ He answered and sayde vnto them: it is geve vnto you to knowe ye secretes of the kyngdome of heve but to the it is not geve. ¹² For whosoever hath to him shall be geven: and he shall have aboundance. But whosoever hath not: fro hym shalbe takyn awaye even that he hath.

¹³ Yf ye then which are evyll canne geve good giftes vnto youre chyldren how moche more shall the father of heaven geve an holy sprete to them that desyre it of him?

⁹ That was a true lyght which lyghteth all men that come into the worlde.

²⁷ Iohn answered and sayde: a man can receave no thinge at all except it be geve him fro heaven.

¹² Then spake Iesus agayne vnto them sayinge: I am the light of the worlde. He that foloweth me shall not walke in darcknes: but shall have the light of lyfe.

³¹ Him hath god lifte vp with his right hand to be a ruler and a savioure for to geve repetauce to Israell and forgevenes of synnes.

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 For the rewarde of synne is deeth: but eternall lyfe is the gyfte of God thorow Iesus Christ oure Lorde.

²⁹ For verely the gyftes and callynge of god are soche that it cannot repent him of them: ³⁰ for loke as ye in tyme passed have not beleved God yet have now obtayned mercy thorow their vnbelefe:

⁶ that we have dyvers gyftes accordynge to the grace that is geven vnto vs: yf eny man have ye gyft of prophesye let him have it that it be agreynge vnto the fayth. ⁷ Let him that hath an office wayte on his office. Let him that teacheth take hede to his doctrine. ⁸ Let him that exhorteth geve attendaunce to his exhortacion. Yf eny man geve let him do it with singlenes. Let him that ruleth do it with diligence. Yf eny man shewe mercy let him do it with cherfulnes.

⁷ For who preferreth the? What hast thou that thou hast not receaved? Yf thou have receaved it why reioysest thou as though thou haddest not receaved it?

⁴ Ther are diversities of gyftes verely yet but one sprete. ⁵ And ther are differences of administracions and yet but one lorde. ⁶ And ther are divers maners of operacions and yet but one God which worketh all thinges that are wrought in all creatures. ⁷ The gyftes of ye sprete are geven to every man to proffit ye congregacion. ⁸ To one is geven thorow the spirite the vtteraunce of wisdome? To another is geven the vtteraunce of knowledge by ye same sprete. ⁹ To another is geuen fayth by ye same sprete. To another ye gyftes of healynge by the same sprete. 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. ¹¹ And these all worketh eve ye silfe same sprete devydynge to every man severall gyftes even as he will. ¹² For as the body is one and hath many mebres and all the membres of one body though they be many yet are but one body: even so is Christ.

⁶ For it is God that commauded the light to shyne out of darcknes which hath shyned in oure hertes for to geve the light of the knowledge of the glorie of God in the face of Iesus Christ.

¹⁸ and lighten the eyes of youre myndes yt ye myght knowe what that hope is where vnto he hath called you and what the riches of his glorious inheritaunce is apon the sainctes

³ amonge which we also had oure conversacion in tyme past in the lustes of oure flesshe and fullfilled the will of the flesshe and of the mynde: and were naturally the children of wrath even as wel as other. ⁴ But God which is rich in mercy thorow his greate love wherwith he loved vs ⁵ even when we were deed by synne hath quickened vs together in Christ (for by grace are ye saved)

⁸ For by grace are ye made safe thorowe fayth and that not of youre selves. For it is the gyfte of God

⁸ Wherfore he sayth: He is gone vp an hye and hath ledde captivitie captive and hath geven gyftes vnto men. ⁹ That he ascended: what meaneth it but that he also descended fyrst into the lowest parties of the erth? ¹⁰ He that descended is even the same also that ascended vp even above all hevens to fulfill all thinges. ¹¹ And the very same made some Apostles some prophetes some Evangelistes some Sheperdes some Teachers:

³ For we oure selves also were in tymes past vnwyse disobedient deceaved in daunger to lustes and to diuers maners of volupteousnes livynge in maliciousnes and envie full of hate hatinge one another. 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

¹¹ They shall perisshe but thou shalt endure. They all shall wexe olde as doth a garment: ¹² and as a vesture shalt thou chaunge them and they shalbe chaunged. But thou arte all wayes and thy yeres shall not fayle.

⁸ Iesus Christ yesterdaye and to daye and the same continueth for ever.

¹⁵ This wisdome descedeth not from a boue: but is erthy and naturall and divelisshe.

⁵ And this is the tydynges which we have hearde of him and declare vnto you that god is lyght and in him is no darknes at all

¹⁰ Herin is love not that we loved god but that he loved vs and sent his sonne to make agrement for oure sinnes.

¹¹ 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.

²³ and the cite hath no nede of the sonne nether of the mone to lyghten it. For the bryghtnes of God dyd light it: and the lambe was the light of it.

⁵ And there shall be no nyght there and they nede no candle nether light of the sunne: for the lorde God geveth them light and they shall raygne for evermore.

¹⁰ speake vnto the childern of Israell and saye vnto them: when ye be come in to the lande whiche I geue vnto you and repe doune youre haruest, ye shall brynge a shefe of the first frutes of youre haruest vnto the preast,

¹³ which were borne not of bloude nor of the will of the flesshe nor yet of the will of man: but of God.

³ Iesus answered and sayde vnto him: Verely verely I saye vnto the: except a man be boren a newe he cannot se the kyngdom of God. ⁴ Nicodemus sayde vnto him: how can a man be boren when he is olde? can he enter into his moders wombe and be boren agayne? ⁵ Iesus answered: verely verely I saye vnto the: except that a man be boren of water and of ye sprete he cannot enter into the kyngdome of god.

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.

²⁹ For those which he knewe before he also ordeyned before yt they shuld be lyke fassioned vnto the shape of his sonne that he myght be ye fyrst begotten sonne amoge many brethren. 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. ³¹ What shall we then saye vnto these thinges? yf god be on oure syde: who can be agaynst vs?

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.

¹⁵ For though ye have ten thousande instructours in Christ: yet have ye not many fathers. In Christ Iesu I have begotten you thorowe ye gospell.

¹² that we which before beleved in Christ shuld be vnto the prayse of his glory.

²⁰ and by him to reconcile all thynge vnto him silfe and to set at peace by him thorow the bloud of his crosse both thynges in heven and thynges in erth. ²¹ And you (which were in tymes past straungers and enymes because youre myndes were set in evyll workes) hath he now recocilied

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.

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

²¹ Wherfore laye a parte all fylthynes all superfluite of maliciousnes and receave with meknes the worde yt is grafted in you which is able to save youre soules.

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

²³ for ye are borne a newe not of mortall seed but of immortall by the worde of god which liveth and lasteth for ever.

⁹ Whosoever is borne of god sinneth not: for his seed remayneth in him and he cannot sinne because he is borne of god.

⁴ These are they which were not defyled with wemen for they are virgyns. These folowe the lambe whither soever he goeth. These were redemed from men beynge the fyrste frutes vnto God and to the lambe

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.

² And anone many gadered to geder in so moche that now there was no roume to receave them: no not so moche as about the dore. And he preached the worde vnto them.

³⁷ Then David hym silfe calleth him Lorde: and by what meanes is he then his sonne? And moche people hearde him gladly.

¹ Then resorted vnto him all ye publicas and synners for to heare him.

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

⁴² And they continued in the Apostles doctrine and felloushippe and in breakinge of breed and in prayer.

³³ Then sent I for ye immediatly and thou hast well done for to come. Now are we all here present before god to heare all thynges yt are commaunded vnto the of God.

⁴² When they were come out of the Synagoge of the Iewes the getyls besought yt they wolde preache the worde to them bitwene the Saboth dayes. ⁴³ When the congregacion was broken vp many of the Iewes and verteous covertes folowed Paul and Barnabas which spake to them and exhorted them to cotinue in the grace of God. ⁴⁴ And ye nexte Saboth daye came almoste the whole cite to gether to heare the worde of God.

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 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.

²⁶ Be angrye but synne not let not the sonne go doune apon your wrathe

³¹ Let all bitternes fearsnes and wrath rorynge and cursyd speakynge be put awaye from you with all maliciousnes.

⁸ But now put ye also awaye from you all thynges wrath fearsnes maliciousnes cursed speakynge filthy speakynge out of youre mouthes.

¹⁵ And ye peace of god rule in youre hertes to ye which peace ye are called in one body. And se that ye be thankfull.

¹³ For this cause thanke we god with out ceasynge because that when ye receaved of vs the worde wherwith God was preached ye receaved it not as the worde of man: but even as it was in dede the worde of God which worketh in you that beleve.

²⁶ Yf eny man amonge you seme devoute and refrayne not his tonge: but deceave his awne herte this mannes devocion is in vayne

¹ My brethren be not every ma a master remembringe how that we shall receave the more damnacion: ² for in many thinges we synne all. Yf a man synne not in worde the same is a parfecte ma and able to tame all the body.

²¹ I wrote not vnto you as though ye knewe not the trueth: but as though ye knewe it and knowe also that no lye commeth of trueth.

¹¹ And Moses lifte vp his hade with his staffe and smote the rocke .ij. tymes and the water came out abundantly and the multitude dranke and their beesse also. ¹² And the Lorde spake vnto Moses and Aaron: Because ye beleued me not to sanctifye me in the eyes of the childern of Israel therfore ye shall not brynge this congregacion in to the londe which I haue geuen them.

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:

¹⁷ But the wisdom that is from above is fyrst pure then peasable gentle and easy to be entreated full of mercy and good frutes without iudgynge and without simulacio: ¹⁸ yee and the frute of rightewesnes is sowen in peace of them that mayntene peace.

⁵ Blessed are the meke: for they shall inheret the erth.

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

²⁶ Ye men and brethren chyldren of the generacion of Abraham and whosoever amoge you feareth God to you is this worde of salvacio sent.

¹⁶ For I am not ashamed of the Gospell of Christ because it is ye power of God vnto salvacio to all yt beleve namely to the Iewe and also to ye getyle.

¹⁷ God be thanked yt though ye were once the servauntes of synne ye have yet obeyed with herte vnto the forme of doctryne wher vnto ye were delyvered.

¹⁷ Though some of the brauuches be broken of and thou beynge a wylde olyue tree arte graft in amonge them and made parttaker of ye rote and fatnes of the olyve tree

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:

² by which also ye are saved: I do you to wit after what maner I preached vnto you yf ye kepe it except ye have beleved in vayne.

¹ Seynge that we have soche promeses derely beloved let vs clense oure selves from all fylthynes of the flesshe and sprete and growe vp to full holynes in ye feare of God.

¹³ In whom also ye (after that ye hearde the worde of trueth I meane the gospell of youre saluacio wherin ye beleved) were sealed with the holy sprete of promes

⁴ nether filthynes nether folishe talkyng nether gestinge which are not comly: but rather gevynge of thankes

⁵ Mortifie therfore youre membres which are on the erth fornicacio vnclennes vnnaturall lust evyll cocupiscece and coveteousnes which is worshippynge of ydols: ⁶ for which thynges sakes the wrath of God cometh on the chyldren of vnbeleve. ⁷ In which thynges ye walked once. when ye lived in them. ⁸ But now put ye also awaye from you all thynges wrath fearsnes maliciousnes cursed speakynge filthy speakynge out of youre mouthes.

⁵ For oure gospell came not vnto you in worde only but also in power and also in the holy gost and in moche certayntie as ye knowe after what maner we behaued oure selves amonge you for youre sakes.

¹⁵ and for as moche also as thou hast knowe holy scripture of a chylde which is able to make the wyse vnto saluacion thorowe the fayth which ys in Christ Iesu. ¹⁶ For all scripture geve by inspiracion of god is proffitable to teache to improve to amende and to instruct in rightewesnes ¹⁷ yt ye man of god maye be perfect and prepared vnto all good workes.

¹¹ For the grace of god that bryngeth saluacion vnto all men hath appered

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

² For vnto vs was it declared as well as vnto them. But it proffited not them that they hearde the worde because they which hearde it coupled it not with fayth.

⁹ receavynge the ende of youre fayth the salvacion of youre soules.

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

¹¹ Derly beloved I beseche you as straugers and pilgrems abstayne from flesshly lustes which fyght agaynst the soule

²¹ Many will saye to me in that daye Master master have we not in thy name prophesied? And in thy name have caste oute devyls? And in thy name have done many miracles? ²² And then will I knowlege vnto them that I never knewe them. Departe from me ye workers of iniquite. ²³ Whosoever heareth of me these sayinges and doethe the same I wyll lyken hym vnto a wyse man which bylt hys housse on a rocke: ²⁴ and aboundance of rayne descended and the fluddes came and the wyndes blewe and bet vpon that same housse and it fell not because it was grounded on the rocke. ²⁵ And whosoever heareth of me these sayinges and doth the not shalbe lykened vnto a folysh man which bilt hys housse apo the sondes: ²⁶ and abundauce of rayne descended and the fluddes came and ye wyndes blewe and beet vpon that housse and it fell and great was the fall of it. ²⁷ And it came to passe that when Iesus had ended these saynges the people were astonnyed at hys doctryne.

⁵⁰ For whosoever dothe my fathers will which is in heve the same is my brother suster and mother.

²⁰ Teachinge them to observe all thynges what soever I comcommaunded you. And lo I am with you all waye even vntyll the ende of the worlde.

⁴⁶ Why call ye me Master Master: and do not as I bid you? ⁴⁷ whosoever cometh to me and heareth my sayinges and dothe the same I will shewe you to whome he ys lyke. ⁴⁸ He is like a man which bilt an housse: and digged depe and layde the foundacio on a rocke. Whe the waters arose the fludde bet apo that housse and coulde not move yt. For it was grounded apon a rocke.

²⁸ But he sayde: Ye happy are they that heare the worde of God and kepe it.

⁴⁷ The servaut that knewe his masters will and prepared not him selfe nether dyd accordinge to his will shalbe bete with many strypes. ⁴⁸ But he that knewe not and yet dyd committe thinges worthy of strypes shalbe beaten with feawe strypes. For vnto whom moche is geven of him shalbe moche requyred. And to whom men moche commyt the moare of him will they axe.

¹⁷ If ye vnderstonde these thinges happy are ye yf ye do them.

¹³ For before god they are not ryghteous which heare ye lawe: but the doers of the lawe shalbe iustified.

¹⁸ Let no man deceave him silfe. Yf eny man seme wyse amonge you let him be a fole in this worlde that he maye be wyse.

³³ Be not deceaved: malicious speakinges corrupte good maners.

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.

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

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.

¹³ But the evyll men and disceavers shall wexe worsse and worsse whill they deceave and are deceaved them selves.

³ For we oure selves also were in tymes past vnwyse disobedient deceaved in daunger to lustes and to diuers maners of volupteousnes livynge in maliciousnes and envie full of hate hatinge one another.

¹⁴ What a vayleth it my brethren though a man saye he hath sayth when he hath no dedes? Can fayth save him? ¹⁵ If a brother or a sister be naked or destitute of dayly fode ¹⁶ and one of you saye vnto them: Departe in peace God sende you warmnes and fode: not withstondinge ye geve the not tho thynges which are nedfull to the body: what helpeth it the? ¹⁷ Eve so fayth yf it have no dedes is deed in it selfe. ¹⁸ Ye and a man myght saye: Thou hast fayth and I have dedes: Shewe me thy fayth by thy dedes: and I will shewe the my fayth by my dedes. ¹⁹ Belevest thou yt ther is one God? Thou doest well. The devyls also beleve and tremble. ²⁰ Wilt thou vnderstonde o thou vayne man that fayth with out dedes is deed?

¹⁷ Therfore to him that knoweth how to do good and doth it not to him it is synne.

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:

⁸ Yf we saye that we have no synne we deceave oure selves and trueth is not in vs.

³ And herby we are sure that we knowe him yf we kepe his comaundementes.

⁷ Babes let no man deceave you He that doeth righteousnes is righteous even as he is righteous.

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.

⁹ and prevaylled not: nether was their place founde eny more in heven.

⁷ Beholde I come shortly. Happy is he that kepeth the sayinge of ye prophesy of this boke.

⁷ And ye Scribes and Pharises watched him to se whether he wolde heale on the Saboth daye that they myght fynde an accusacion agaynst him.

⁴⁷ whosoever cometh to me and heareth my sayinges and dothe the same I will shewe you to whome he ys lyke.

¹⁴ What a vayleth it my brethren though a man saye he hath sayth when he hath no dedes? Can fayth save him? ¹⁵ If a brother or a sister be naked or destitute of dayly fode ¹⁶ and one of you saye vnto them: Departe in peace God sende you warmnes and fode: not withstondinge ye geve the not tho thynges which are nedfull to the body: what helpeth it the? ¹⁷ Eve so fayth yf it have no dedes is deed in it selfe. ¹⁸ Ye and a man myght saye: Thou hast fayth and I have dedes: Shewe me thy fayth by thy dedes: and I will shewe the my fayth by my dedes. ¹⁹ Belevest thou yt ther is one God? Thou doest well. The devyls also beleve and tremble. ²⁰ Wilt thou vnderstonde o thou vayne man that fayth with out dedes is deed? ²¹ Was not Abraha oure father iustified thorow workes when he offered Isaac his sonne vpo the aultre? ²² Thou seist how that fayth wrought with his dedes and through the dedes was the fayth made parfect: ²³ and ye scripture was fulfilled which sayth: Abraham beleved God and it was reputed vnto him for rightewesnes: and he was called the frede of God. ²⁴ Ye se then how that of dedes a man is iustified and not of fayth only. ²⁵ Lyke wyse also was not Raab the harlot iustifyed thorow workes when she receaved the messengers and sent the out another waye? ²⁶ For as the body with oute the sprete is deed eve so fayth with out dedes is deed

²⁷ And when he was come to ye other syde in to ye coutre of ye Gergesites ther met him two possessed of devylles which came out of the graves and were out of measure fearce so yt no ma myght go by that waye.

⁶⁶ and all they yt herde the layde them vp in their hertes saying: What maner chylde shall this be? And the honde of ye lorde was with him.

³⁹ When the pharise which bade him sawe that he spake with in him sylfe sayinge: If this man were a prophete he wolde surely have knowen who and what maner woman this is which toucheth him for she is a synner.

¹¹ Yf all these thinges shall perisshe what maner persons ought ye to be in holy conversacion and godlynes:

⁴⁷ whosoever cometh to me and heareth my sayinges and dothe the same I will shewe you to whome he ys lyke. ⁴⁸ He is like a man which bilt an housse: and digged depe and layde the foundacio on a rocke. Whe the waters arose the fludde bet apo that housse and coulde not move yt. For it was grounded apon a rocke. ⁴⁹ But he that heareth and doth not is lyke a man that with out foundacion bylt an housse apon the erth agaynst which the fludde did bet: and it fell by and by. And ye fall of yt housse was greate.

³¹ Then sayde Iesus to those Iewes which beleved on him. If ye cotinue in my wordes then are ye my very disciples ³² and shall knowe the trueth: and the trueth shall make you free.

³⁶ If the sonne therfore shall make you fre then are ye fre in dede.

⁹ As the father hath loved me eve so have I leved you. Continue in my love. ¹⁰ Yf ye shall kepe my comaudemetes ye shall byde in my love eve as I have kept my fathers comaundementes and byde in his love.

⁴³ When the congregacion was broken vp many of the Iewes and verteous covertes folowed Paul and Barnabas which spake to them and exhorted them to cotinue in the grace of God.

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

⁷ that is to saye prayse honoure and immortalite to them which cotinue in good doynge and seke eternall lyfe. ⁸ But vnto them that are rebellious and disobey the trueth yet folowe iniquytie shall come indignacion and wrath

¹² Wherfore the lawe is holy and the commaundement holy iust and good.

²² I delite in the lawe of God concerninge the inner man. ²³ But I se another lawe in my membres rebellinge agaynst the lawe of my mynde and subduynge me vnto the lawe of synne which is in my membres.

¹⁵ For ye have no receaved the sprete of bondage to feare eny moare but ye have receaved the sprite of adopcion wherby we crye Abba father.

²² Beholde ye kyndnes and rigorousnes of God: on the which fell rigorousnes: but towardes the kyndnes yf thou cotinue in his kyndnes. Or els thou shalt be hewen of

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.

¹⁷ The Lorde no dout is a sprete. And where the sprete of the Lorde is there is libertie. ¹⁸ But we all beholde the glorye of the Lorde with his face open and are chaunged vnto the same similitude from glory to glory even of the sprite of the Lorde.

⁵ Prove youre selves whether ye are in the fayth or not. Examen youre owne selves: knowe ye not youre awne selves how that Iesus Christ is in you excepte ye be castawayes?

⁴ and that because of incomers beynge falce brethren which came in amoge other to spye out oure libertie which we have in Christ Iesus that they might bringe vs into bondage.

¹ Stond fast therfore in ye libertie wher with Christ hath made vs fre and wrappe not youre selves agayne in ye yoke of bondage.

²³ yf ye continue grounded and stablysshed in the fayth and be not moved awaye from the hope of the gospell wher of ye have herde howe that it is preached amonge all creatures which are vnder heven wher of I Paul am made a minister.

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

¹⁶ Take hede vnto thy silfe and vnto learnynge and continue therin. For if thou shalt so do thou shalt save thy silfe and them that heare the.

¹⁵ And looke to that no man be destitue of the grace of God and that no rote of bitternes springe vp and trouble and therby many be defiled:

²³ For yf eny heare the worde and do it not he is lyke vnto a man that beholdeth his bodyly face in a glasse. ²⁴ For assone as he hath loked on him silfe he goeth his waye and forgetteth immediatlie what his fassion was.

¹² So speake ye and so do as they that shalbe iudged by the lawe of libertie.

¹⁶ as fre and not as havinge ye libertie for a cloke of maliciousnes but even as the servautes of god.

²⁴ Let therfore abyde in you that same which ye hearde from the begynnynge. Yf that which ye hearde from ye begynnynge shall remayne in you ye also shall continewe in the sonne and in the father

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

¹⁴ Blessed are they that do hys commaundmentes that their power maye be in the tree of lyfe and maye entre in thorow the gates into the cite.

¹⁶ But bewarre that youre hertes disceaue you not that ye turne asyde and serue straunge goddes and worshepe them,

⁹ but in vayne they worshippe me teachinge doctrines whiche are nothing but mens precepts.

⁷ In vayne they worshippe me teachinge doctryns which are nothinge but ye comaundementes of men.

¹⁸ Take hede therfore how ye heare. For whosoever hath to him shalbe geve: And whosoever hath not fro him shalbe take even that same which he supposeth that he hath.

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.

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.

⁴ So many thinges there ye have suffred in vayne if yt be vayne.

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.

⁶ Let youre speache be all wayes well favoured and be powdred with salt that ye maye know how to answer every ma.

²² And se that ye be doars of the worde and not hearers only deceavinge youre awne selves with sophistrie

²⁰ Wilt thou vnderstonde o thou vayne man that fayth with out dedes is deed?

² for in many thinges we synne all. Yf a man synne not in worde the same is a parfecte ma and able to tame all the body. ³ Beholde we put bittes into ye horses mouthes that they shuld obeye vs and we turne aboute all the body. ⁴ Beholde also the shyppes which though they be so gret and are dryven of fearce windes yet are they turned about with a very smale helme whither soever the violence of the governer wyll. ⁵ Even so the tonge is a lyttell member and bosteth great thinges. Beholde how gret a thinge a lyttell fyre kyndleth ⁶ and the tonge is fyre and a worlde of wyckednes. So is the tonge set amonge oure members that it defileth the whole body and setteth a fyre all that we have of nature and is it selfe set a fyre even of hell.

¹⁰ If eny ma longe after life and loveth to se good dayes let him refrayne his tonge fro evyll and his lippes that they speake not gyle.

⁸ Blessed are the pure in herte: for they shall se God.

³⁴ Then shall the kynge saye to them on his right honde: Come ye blessed chyldren of my father inheret ye the kyngdo prepared for you from the beginninge of the worlde. ³⁵ For I was anhongred and ye gave me meate. I thursted and ye gave me drinke. I was herbourlesse and ye lodged me. ³⁶ I was naked and ye clothed me. I was sicke and ye visited me. I was in preson and ye came vnto me. ³⁷ Then shall ye righteous answere him sayinge master whe sawe we ye anhongred and feed the? or a thurst and gave ye drinke? ³⁸ when sawe we ye herbourlesse and lodged the? or naked and clothed the? ³⁹ or when sawe we the sicke or in preson and came vnto the? ⁴⁰ And ye kynge shall answere and saye vnto them: verely I saye vnto you: in as moche as ye have done it vnto one of ye leest of these my brethren ye have done it to me. ⁴¹ Then shall the kynge saye vnto them that shalbe on the lyfte hande: departe from me ye coursed into everlastinge fire which is prepared for the devyll and his angels. ⁴² For I was an hungred and ye gave me no meate. I thursted and ye gave me no drinke. ⁴³ I was herbourlesse and ye lodged me not. I was naked and ye clothed me not. I was sicke and in preson and ye visited me not. ⁴⁴ Then shall they also answere him sayinge: master when sawe we the an hungred or a thurst or herbourlesse or naked or sicke or in preson and did not ministre vnto the? ⁴⁵ Then shall he answere the and saye: Verely I saye vnto you in as moche as ye did it not to one of ye leest of these ye did it not to me. ⁴⁶ And these shall go into everlastinge payne: And the righteous into lyfe eternall.

⁶ Booth were perfect before God and walked in all the lawes and ordinaces of the Lorde that no man coulde fynde fawte with them.

¹⁴ I have geven them thy wordes and the worlde hath hated them because they are not of the worlde even as I am not of the worlde. ¹⁵ I desyre not that thou shuldest take the out of the worlde: but that thou kepe them from evyll.

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.

⁴ which gave him selfe for oure synnes to deliver vs from this present evyll worlde thorow the will of God oure father

⁶ For in Iesu Christ nether is circumcision enythinge worth nether yet vncircocision but faith which by love is mighty in operacion.

⁹ Let vs not be wery of well doynge. For when the tyme is come we shall repe with out werines. ¹⁰ Whill we have therfore tyme let vs do good vnto all men and specially vnto them which are of the housholde of fayth.

¹⁴ God forbyd that I shuld reioyce but in the crosse of oure Lorde Iesu Christ wherby the worlde is crucified as touchinge me and I as concerninge the worlde.

¹ If ye be then rysen agayne with christ seke those thynges which are above where Christ sitteth on the right honde of god. ² Set youre affeccion on thynges yt are above and not on thinges which are on ye erth. ³ For ye are deed and youre lyfe is hid with Christ in god.

⁵ for ye ende of the comaundemet is love that cometh of a pure herte and of a good conscience and of fayth vnfayned:

⁴ Yf eny wyddowe have chyldren or neves let them learne fyrst to rule their awne houses godly and to recompence their elders. For that is good and acceptable before God.

⁴ Ye advouterars and wemen that breke matrimonie: knowe ye not how yt the freshippe of ye worlde is ennimite to god warde? Whosoever wilbe a frende of the worlde is made the enemie of god.

¹⁵ Se that ye love not the worlde nether the thynges that are in the worlde. Yf eny man love the worlde the love of the father is not in him. 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 ¹⁷ And the worlde vannyssheth awaye and the lust therof: but he that fulfilleth the will of god abydeth ever.

¹⁷ Whosoever hath this worldes good and seith his brother have neade: and shutteth vp his copassion from him: how dwelleth the love of God in him? ¹⁸ My babes let vs not love in worde nether in tonge: but with dede and in veritie: ¹⁹ for therby we knowe that we are of the veritie and can before him quiet oure hertes.

⁴ For all that is borne of god over commeth the worlde. And this is the victory that overcometh the worlde even oure fayth. ⁵ Who is it that overcommeth the worlde: but he which beleveth that Iesus is ye sonne of god?

¹⁸ We knowe that whosoever is borne of god synneth not: but he that is begotten of god kepeth him silfe and that wicked toucheth him not.
