These ought ye to have done and not to have left the othre vndone. ²⁴ Ye blinde gydes which strayne out a gnat and swalowe a cammyll. ²⁵ Wo be to you scribes and pharises ypocrites which make clene ye vtter syde of the cuppe and of the platter: but within they are full of brybery and excesse. ²⁶ Thou blinde Pharise clense fyrst the outsyde of the cup and platter that the ynneside of them maye be clene also. ²⁷ Wo be to you Scribe and Pharises ypocrite for ye are lyke vnto paynted tombes which appere beautyfull outwarde: but are wt in full of deed bones and of all fylthynes. ²⁸ So are ye for outwarde ye appere righteous vnto me when within ye are full of ypocrisie and iniquite.

But yf ye salt be vnsavery: what shall ye salte therwith? Se yt ye have salt in youre selves: and have peace amonge youre selves one with another.

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.

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.

²² When Iesus hearde that he sayde vnto him: Yet lackest thou one thinge. Sell all that thou hast and distribute it vnto the poore and thou shalt have treasure in heven and come and folowe me. ²³ When he heard that he was hevy: for he was very ryche.

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.

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 ⁹ and myght be founde in him not havynge myne awne rightewesnes which is of the lawe: But that which spryngeth of the fayth which is in Christ.

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.

¹⁵ And whosoever was not founde written in the boke of lyfe was cast into the lake of fyre.

⁸ But the fearefull and vnbelevynge and the abhominable and murdrers and whormongers and sorcerers and ydolaters and all lyars shall have their parte in the lake which burnyth with fyre and brymstone which is the seconde deth.

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.

¹⁷ He sayde vnto him: why callest thou me good? there is none good but one and that is God. But yf thou wylt entre in to lyfe kepe the commaundementes.

²³ Then Iesus sayde vnto his disciples: Verely I saye vnto you: yt is harde for a ryche ma to enter into ye kyngdome of heaven. ²⁴ And moreover I saye vnto you: it is easier for a camell to go through the eye of a nedle then for a ryche man to enter into the kyngdome of God.

⁴⁷ where there worme dyeth not and the fyre never goeth oute.

²⁴ Whosoever will save his lyfe shall lose it. And who soever shall lose his lyfe for my sake the same shall save it. ²⁵ For what avauntageth it a man to wynne the whole worlde yf he loose him sylfe or runne in domage of him sylfe?

¹¹ Let vs study therfore to entre into that rest lest eny man faule after the same ensample in to vnbelefe.

¹ But Iacob went forth on his iourney. And the angells of God came and mett him. ² And when Iacob sawe them he sayde: this is godes hoost: and called the name of that same place Mahanaim.

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.

¹³ When they were departed: beholde the angell of the Lorde appered to Ioseph in dreame sayinge: aryse and take the chylde and his mother and flye into Egypte and abyde there tyll I brynge the worde. For Herod will seke the chylde to destroye hym.

¹⁹ When Herode was deed: beholde an angell of ye Lorde appered in a dreame to Ioseph in Egypte

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

⁶ But whosoever offende one of these lytelons which beleve in me: it were better for him that a milstone were hanged aboute his necke and that he were drouned in the depth of the see.

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

¹⁹ And the angell answered and sayde vnto him: I am Gabriell that stonde in the presens of God and am sent to speake vnto the: and to shewe the these glad tydinges.

¹⁶ He yt heareth you heareth me: and he that dispiseth you despiseth me: and he that dispiseth me despiseth him that sent me.

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.

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

³ The same man sawe in a vision evydetly aboute ye nynthe houre of ye daye an angell of god comynge into him and sayinge vnto him: Cornelius.

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.

¹⁵ And they sayde vnto her: thou arte mad. And she bare them doune yt it was even so. Then sayde they: it is his angell.

²³ And immediatly the angell of ye Lorde smote him because he gave not God the honoure and he was eatyn of wormes and gave vp the goost.

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

¹ Him that is weake in the fayth receave vnto you not in disputynge and troublynge his conscience. ² One beleveth that he maye eate all thinge. Another which is weake eateth earbes. ³ Let not him that eateth despise him that eateth not. And let not him whiche eateth not iudge him that eateth. For God hath receaved him.

¹⁰ But why doest thou then iudge thy brother? Other why doest thou despyse thy brother? We shall all be brought before the iudgement seate of Christ.

¹ We which are stronge ought to beare the fraylnes of them which are weake and not to stonde in oure awne cosaytes.

⁸ Meate maketh vs not acceptable to god. Nether yf we eate are we ye better. Nether yf we eate not are we the worsse.

²² To the weake became I as weake to wynne the weake. In all thinge I fassioned my silfe to all men to save at ye lest waye some.

²² Or els despyse ye the congregacion of god and shame them that have not? What shall I saye vnto you? shall I prayse you: In this prayse I you not.

¹¹ Let no man despyse him: but convaye him forthe in peace yt he maye come vnto me. For I loke for him with the brethre.

¹ I Paule my silfe beseche you by the mekenes and softnes of Christ which when I am present amoge you am of no reputacio but am bolde towarde you beinge absent.

¹⁰ For ye pistles (sayth he) are sore and stronge: but his bodyly presence is weake and his speache rude.

¹³ Ye knowe how thorow infirmite of the flesshe I preached the gospell vnto you at the fyrst. ¹⁴ And my temptacion which I suffered by reason of my flesshe ye despysed not nether abhorred: but receaved me as an angell of god: ye as Christ Iesus.

¹ Brethren yf eny ma be fallen by chauce into eny faute: ye which are spirituall helpe to amende him in the sprete of meknes: consyderynge thy silfe lest thou also be tempted.

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

¹² Let no man despyse thy youth: but be vnto them that beleve an insample in worde in conversacion in love in sprete in fayth and in purenes.

¹⁴ Are they not all mynistrynge spretes sent to minister for their sakes which shalbe heyres of salvacion?

² And I sawe angelles stondynge before god and to them were geven vii. trompettes.

¹² Goo and learne what that meaneth: I have pleasure in mercy and not in offerynge. For I am not come to call the rightewes but the synners to repentaunce. ¹³ Then came ye disciples of Ihon to hym sayinge: why do we and the Pharises fast ofte: but thy disciples fast not?

⁶ Go and preach sayinge: yt the kyngdome of heve is at hande.

²⁴ He answered and sayde: I am not sent but vnto ye loost shepe of ye housse of Israel.

⁵⁶ The sonne of ma ys not come to destroye mennes lives but to save them. And they went to another toune.

²⁴ for this my sonne was deed and is alyve agayne he was loste and is now founde. And they began to be merye.

³² it was mete that we shuld make mery and be glad: for this thy brother was deed and is a lyve agayne: and was loste and is founde.

¹⁰ For the sonne of ma is come to seke and to save that which was looste.

¹⁷ For God sent not his sonne into the worlde to condepne the worlde: but that the worlde through him might be saved.

¹⁰ The thefe cometh not but forto steale kyll and destroye. I am come that they myght have lyfe and have it more aboundantly.

⁴⁷ And yf eny man heare my wordes and beleve not I iudge him not. For I came not to iudge the worlde: but to save ye worlde.

¹⁵ This is a true sayinge and by all meanes worthy to be receaved that Christ Iesus came into the world to save synners of whom I am chefe.

¹¹ And he sayde vnto the: whiche of you wolde it be yf he had a shepe fallen into a pitte on ye saboth daye that wolde not take him and lyft him out?

²⁸ What saye ye to this? A certayne man had two sonnes and came to ye elder and sayde: sonne go and worke to daye in my vineyarde.

⁴² the sayinge: what thinke ye of Christ? Whose sonne is he? They sayde vnto him: the sonne of David.

⁴ What man of you havynge an hundred shepe yf he loose one of thee doth not leve nynty and nyne in the wyldernes and goo after yt which is loost vntyll he fynde him? ⁵ And whe he hath founde him he putteth him on his shulders with ioye: ⁶ And assone as he cometh home he calleth to gedder his lovers and neghbours sayinge vnto them: reioyse with me for I have founde my shepe which was loost. ⁷ I say vnto you yt lyke wyse ioye shalbe in heven over one synner yt repenteth moore then over nynety and nyne iuste persons whiche nede noo repentauce.

¹¹ I am ye good shepeheerd. The good shepeheerd geveth his lyfe for ye shepe. ¹² An heyred servaut which is not ye shepeherd nether ye shepe are his awne seith the wolfe comynge and leveth the shepe and flyeth and the wolfe catcheth them and scattereth ye shepe. ¹³ The heyred servaut flyeth because he is an heyred servaunt and careth not for the shepe. ¹⁴ I am that good shepeheerd and knowe myne and am knowe of myne. ¹⁵ As my father knoweth me: even so knowe I my father. And I geve my lyfe for the shepe: ¹⁶ and other shepe I have which are not of this folde. Them also must I bringe that they maye heare my voyce and that ther maye be one flocke and one shepeherde. ¹⁷ Therfore doth my father love me because I put my lyfe from me that I myght take it agayne. ¹⁸ No man taketh it from me: but I put it awaye of my selfe. I have power to put it from me and have power to take it agayne: This comaundment have I receaved of my father. ¹⁹ And ther was a dissencion agayne amoge the Iewes for these sayinges ²⁰ and many of them sayd. He hath the devyll and is mad: why heare ye him? ²¹ Other sayde these are not the wordes of him that hath the devyll. Can the devyll open the eyes of the blynde?

¹⁵ I speake as vnto them which have discrecion Iudge ye what I saye.

²⁵ For ye were as shepe goinge astraye: but are now returned vnto ye shepheerd and bisshoppe of youre soules.

⁵ And whe he hath founde him he putteth him on his shulders with ioye: ⁶ And assone as he cometh home he calleth to gedder his lovers and neghbours sayinge vnto them: reioyse with me for I have founde my shepe which was loost. ⁷ I say vnto you yt lyke wyse ioye shalbe in heven over one synner yt repenteth moore then over nynety and nyne iuste persons whiche nede noo repentauce. ⁸ Ether what woman havynge .x. grotes yf she loose one doth not lyght a candell and swepe ye housse and seke diligently tyll she fynde it? ⁹ And when she hath founde it she calleth her lovers and her neghbours sayinge: Reioyce wt me for I have founde the groate which I had loost. ¹⁰ Lykwyse I saye vnto you ioye is made in ye presence of ye angels of god over one synner yt repenteth.

²³ And bringe hidder that fatted caulfe and kyll him and let vs eate and be mery: ²⁴ for this my sonne was deed and is alyve agayne he was loste and is now founde. And they began to be merye.

³⁴ Iesus sayde vnto them: my meate is to doo the will of him that sent me. And to fynnysshe his worke. ³⁵ Saye not ye: there are yet foure monethes and then cometh harvest? Beholde I saye vnto you lyfte vp youre eyes and loke on ye regios: for they are whyte all redy vnto harvest. ³⁶ And he ye repeth receaveth rewarde and gaddereth frute vnto life eternall: that bothe he that soweth and he yt repeth myght reioyse to gether.

¹³ For ther shalbe iudgement merciles to him that sheweth no mercy and mercy reioyseth agaynst iudgement:

¹⁶ Let youre light so shyne before men yt they maye se youre good workes and glorify youre father which is in heven.

⁹ Let thy kyngdome come. Thy wyll be fulfilled as well in erth as it ys in heven.

³² But rather seke ye fyrst the kyngdome of heuen and the rightwisnes therof and all these thynges shalbe ministred vnto you.

³² Feare not litell floocke for it is youre fathers pleasure to geve you a kingdome.

³⁹ And this is the fathers will which hath sent me that of all which he hath geven me I shuld loose no thinge: but shuld rayse it vp agayne at the last daye. ⁴⁰ And this is the wyll of him yt sent me: yt every man which seith ye sonne and beleveth on him have everlastinge lyfe. And I will rayse him vp at ye last daye.

²⁷ my shepe heare my voyce and I knowe them and they folowe me ²⁸ and I geve vnto the eternall lyfe and they shall never perisshe nether shall eny man plucke the oute of my honde. ²⁹ My father which gave the me is greatter then all and no man is able to take them out of my fathers honde. ³⁰ And I and my father are one.

¹⁵ When they had dyned Iesus sayde to Simon Peter: Simon Ioana lovest thou me more then these? He sayde vnto him: ye Lorde thou knowest that I love the. He sayde vnto him: fede my lambes.

²⁸ For we knowe that all thinges worke for the best vnto them yt love God which also are called of purpose. 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? ³² which spared not his awne sonne but gave him for vs all: how shall he not wt him geve vs all thinges also? ³³ Who shall laye eny thinge to ye charge of goddes chosen? it is god that iustifieth: ³⁴ who then shall condempne? it is Christ which is deed ye rather which is rysen agayne which is also on the ryght honde of God and maketh intercession for vs. ³⁵ Who shall seperate vs fro the love of god? shall tribulacion? or anguysshe? or persecucion? other honger? other nakednesse? other parell? other swearde? ³⁶ As it is written: For thy sake are we kylled all daye longe and are counted as shepe apoynted to be slayne. ³⁷ Neverthelesse in all these thinges we overcome strongly thorow his helpe that loved vs. ³⁸ Ye and I am sure that nether deeth nether lyfe nether angels nor rule nether power nether thinges present nether thinges to come ³⁹ nether heyth nether loweth nether eny other creature shalbe able to departe vs fro ye love of God shewed in Christ Iesu oure lorde.

⁵ And ordeyned vs before thorow Iesus Christ to be heyres vnto him silfe accordinge to the pleasure of his will ⁶ to ye prayse of the glorie of his grace where with he hath made vs accepted in the beloved. ⁷ By whom we have redemption thorow his bloude euen the forgevenes of synnes accordynge to the riches of his grace

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

¹³ and se that ye have strayght steppes vnto youre fete lest eny haltinge turne out of ye waye: yee let it rather be healed.

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

⁹ The lorde is not slacke to fulfill his promes as some men cout slacknes: but is pacient to vs warde and wolde have no man lost but wolde receave all men to repentauce.

² when a soule synneth ad trespaceth agaynst the Lorde and denyed vnto his neyghboure that which was taken him to kepe, or that was put vnder his hande, or that which he hath violently taken awaye, or that whiche he hath deceaued his neyghboure off wyth sotylte, ³ or hath founde that whiche was loste and denyeth it, and swereth falsely, in what soeuer thinge it be that a man doth and synneth therein, ⁴ Then when he hath synned or trespaced, he shall restore agayne that he toke violently awaye, or the wronge whiche he dyd, or that whiche was delyuered him to kepe, or the lost thinge which he founde, ⁵ or what soeuer it be aboute which he hath sworne falsely, he shall restore it agayne in the whole sume and shal adde the fifte parte moare thereto and geue it vnto him to whome it pertayneth, the same daye that he offereth for his trespace, ⁶ and shall brynge for his trespace offerynge vnto the Lorde, a ram without blymesh out of the flocke, that is estemed worth a trespaceofferynge vnto the preast. ⁷ And the prest shall make an atonemet for him before the Lorde, ad it shall be forgeue hi in what soeuer thinge it be that a ma doth ad trespaceth therein.

¹⁷ Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thyne hart but shalt in any wyse rebuke thy neghbour: that thou bere not synne for his sake.

³⁵ So lyke wyse shall my hevenly father do vnto you except ye forgeve with youre hertes eache one to his brother their treaspases.

³ Take hede to youre selves. If thy brother trespas agaynst the rebuke him: ⁴ and yf he repent forgeve him. And though he sinne agest ye .vii. tymes in a daye and seve tymes in a daye tourne agayne to ye sayinge: it repenteth me forgeve him

²¹ Be not overcome of evyll: But overcome evyll wt goodnes.

⁶ but one brother goeth to lawe with another: and that vnder the vnbelevers? ⁷ Now therfore ther is vtterly a faute amonge you because ye goo to lawe one with another. Why rather suffer ye not wronge? why rather suffre ye not youre selves to be robbed? ⁸ Naye ye youre selves do wronge and robbe: and that the brethren.

¹² Whe ye synne so agaynst the brethren and wounde their weake consciences ye synne agaynst Christ.

¹⁹ For though I be fre from all men yet have I made my silfe servaunt vnto all men that I myght wynne the moo. ²⁰ Vnto the Iewes I became as a Iewe to winne ye Iewes. To the that were vnder the lawe was I made as though I had bene vnder the lawe to wynne the that were vnder the lawe. ²¹ To them that were without lawe be ca I as though I had bene without lawe (whe I was not without lawe as perteyninge to god but vnder a lawe as concerninge Christ) to wynne the that were without lawe.

¹² Wherfore though I wrote vnto you I did it not for his cause that did hurte nether for his cause that was hurte: but that oure good mynde whych we have towarde you in the sight of god myght appere vnto you.

¹⁵ And count him not as an enemy: but warne him as a brother.

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

³⁰ Whosoeuer sleeth shalbe slaine at ye mouthe of witnesses. For one witnesse shall not answere agenste one persone to put him to deeth.

⁶ At the mouth of .ij. or .iij witnesses shal he that is worthy of deeth, dye: but at the mouth of one witnesse he shall not dye.

¹⁵ One witnesse shall not ryse agenst a man in any maner trespace or synne, what soeuer synne a man synneth: But at the mouthe of two witnesses or of .iij. witnesses shall all maters be tryed.

¹⁷ It is also written in youre lawe that the testimony of two men is true.

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

¹⁹ Agaynst an elder receave none accusacion: but vnder two or thre witnesses.

²⁸ He that despiseth Moses lawe dyeth with out mercy vnder two or thre witnesses.

⁷ (For ther are thre which beare recorde in heuen the father the worde and the wholy goost. And these thre are one) ⁸ For there are thre which beare recorde (in erth:) the sprete and water and bloud: and these thre are one.

³ and the quyre which is within the temple cast oute and mete it not: for it is gevyn vnto the gentyles and the holy cite shall they treade vnderfote .xlii. monethes.

⁴⁶ For yf ye love them which love you: what rewarde shall ye have? Doo not the Publicans euen so?

⁷ Be ye not lyke them therfore. For youre father knoweth wherof ye haue neade before ye axe of him.

¹⁹ The sonne of man came eatinge and drinkinge and they saye beholde a glutton and drynker of wyne and a frend vnto publicas and synners. Never the later wysdome ys iustified of hir children.

³¹ Whether of the twayne dyd the will of the father? And they sayde vnto hym: the fyrst. Iesus sayde vnto the: verely I saye vnto you that the publicans and the harlotes shall come into ye kyngdome of God before you. ³² For Iohn came vnto you in the waye of rightewesnes and ye beleved hym not. But the publicans and the harlotes beleved him. And yet ye (though ye sawe it) were not yet moved with repentaunce that ye myght afterwarde have beleved hym.

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

¹¹ The pharise stode and prayed thus wt him selfe. God I thanke the yt I am not as other men are extorsioners vniuste advoutrers or as this publican.

² And beholde ther was a ma named Zacheus which was a ruler amoge the Publicans and was riche also. ³ And he made meanes to se Iesus what he shuld be: and coulde not for the preace because he was of a lowe stature.

¹ In those dayes as the nombre of the disciples grewe ther arose a grudge amonge the Grekes agaynst the Ebrues be cause their wyddowes were despysed in the dayly mynystracion. ² Then the twelve called the multitude of the disciples to gether and sayde: it is not mete that we shuld leave the worde of God and serve at the tables. ³ Wherfore brethren loke ye out amoge you seven men of honest reporte and full of the holy goost and wysdome which we maye apoynte to this nedfull busynes.

⁶ And ye Apostles and elders came to geder to reason of this matter. ⁷ And when ther was moche disputinge Peter rose vp and sayde vnto them: Ye men and brethren ye knowe how that a good whyle agoo God chose amoge vs that the getyls by my mouth shuld heare the worde of the gospell and beleve.

¹⁷ I beseche you brethre marke them which cause division and geve occasions of evyll contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned: and avoyde them. ¹⁸ For they yt are suche serve not ye Lorde Iesus Christ: but their awne bellyes and with swete preachinges and flatteringe wordes deceave the hertes of the innocetes.

³ For I verely as absent in body even so present in sprete have determyned all redy (as though I were present) of him that hath done this dede ⁴ in the name of oure Lorde Iesu Christ when ye are gaddered togedder and my sprete with the power of the Lorde Iesus Christ ⁵ to deliver him vnto Satan for ye destruccio of the flesshe yt the sprete maye be saved in ye daye of ye Lorde Iesus.

⁹ I wrote vnto you in a pistle that ye shuld not company with fornicatours.

⁶ It is sufficient vnto the same man that he was rebuked of many. ⁷ So that now contrary wyse ye ought to forgeve him and comforte him: lest that same persone shuld be swalowed vp with over moche hevines.

¹⁴ Set youreselues therfore at large and beare not a straugers yoke wyth the vnbelevers. For what fellishippe hath rightewesnes with vnrightewesnes? What company hath light wt darcknes? ¹⁵ What cocorde hath Christ with beliall? Ether what parte hath he yt beleveth with an infidele? ¹⁶ how agreeth the temple of god wt ymages? And ye are the temple of yt lyuynge god as sayde god. I will dwell amonge the and walke amoge the and wilbe their god: and they shalbe my people. ¹⁷ Wherfore come out from amoge the and separate youreselues (sayth the lorde) and touche none vncleane thynge: so wyll I receave you

¹⁷ This I saye therfore and testifie in ye lorde that ye hence forth walke not as other gentyls walke in vanitie of their mynde ¹⁸ blynded in their vnderstondynge beynge straungers from the lyfe which is in god thorow the ignorancy that is in them because of the blyndnes of their hertes: ¹⁹ which beynge past repentaunce have geven them selves vnto wantannes to worke all manner of vnclennes even with gredynes.

¹¹ and have no fellishippe with the vnfrutfull workes of dercknes: but rather rebuke them. ¹² For it is shame even to name those thinges which are done of them in secrete:

⁶ We requyre you brethren in the name of oure lorde Iesu Christ yt ye with drawe youre selves from every brother that walketh inordinatly and not after the institucio which ye receaved of vs.

¹⁴ Yf eny man obey not oure sayinges sende vs worde of him by a letter: and have no copanie with him that he maye be ashamed. ¹⁵ And count him not as an enemy: but warne him as a brother.

⁵ and vayne disputacions of men with corrupte myndes and destitute of the trueth which thynke that lucre is godlines. From soche seperate thy silfe.

¹⁰ Yf ther come eny vnto you and bringe not this learninge him receave not to housse: nether bid him God spede. ¹¹ For he that biddeth him God spede is parttaker of his evyll dedes.

⁹ I wrote vnto the congregacio: but Diotrephes which loveth to have the preeminence amoge them receaveth vs not. ¹⁰ Wherfore yf I come I will declare his dedes which he doeth iestinge on vs with malicious wordes nether is therewith content. Not only he him silfe receaveth not the brethre: but also he forbiddeth them that wolde and thrusteth them out of the congregacion.

¹⁹ And I wyll geve vnto the the keyes of the kyngdom of heven: and whatsoever thou byndest vpon erth shall be bounde in heven: and whatsoever thou lowsest on erthe shalbe lowsed in heven.

²³ Whosoevers synnes ye remyt they are remitted vnto the. And whosoevers synnes ye retayne they are retayned.

²³ and gave them lettres in their hondes after this maner. The Apostles elders and brethren send gretynges vnto the brethre which are of the gentyls in Antioche Siria and Celicia. ²⁴ For as moche as we have hearde yt certayne which departed fro vs have troubled you with wordes and combred youre myndes sayinge: Ye must be circumcised and kepe the lawe to whom we gave no soche comaundemet. ²⁵ It semed therfore to vs a good thinge when we were come to gedder with one accorde to sende chosyn men vnto you with oure beloved Barnabas and Paul ²⁶ men that have ieoperded their lyves for the name of oure Lorde Iesus Christ. ²⁷ We have sent therfore Iudas and Sylas which shall also tell you the same thinges by mouth. ²⁸ For it semed good to the holy gost and to vs to put no grevous thinge to you more then these necessary thinges: ²⁹ that is to saye that ye abstayne from thinges offered to ymages from bloud from strangled and fornicacion. From which yf ye kepe youre selves ye shall do well. So fare ye well. ³⁰ When they were departed they came to Antioche and gaddred the multitude togeder and delyvered ye pistle. ³¹ When they had redde it they reioysed of that consolacion.

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 And wryte vnto ye tydinges bringer of ye cogregacio of Philadelphia: this sayth he yt is holy and true which hath ye keye of Dauid: which openyth and noma shutteth and shutteth and no ma openeth. ⁸ I knowe thy workes. Beholde I have set before the an open doore and no man can shut it for thou haste a lyttell strengthe and haste kept my sayinges: and haste not denyed my name.

²⁴ leue there thyne offrynge before the altre and go thy waye first and be reconcyled to thy brother and then come and offre thy gyfte.

⁷ For whosoever axeth receaveth and he yt seketh fyndeth and to hym that knocketh it shalbe opened.

²² And whatsoever ye shall axe in prayer (if ye beleve) ye shall receave it.

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.

¹³ And what soever ye axe in my name yt will I do yt the father might be glorified by the sonne. ¹⁴ Yf ye shall axe eny thige in my name I will do it

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

¹⁶ Ye have not chosen me but I have chosen you and ordeyned you that ye go and bringe forthe frute and that youre frute remayne that whatsoever ye shall axe of the father in my name he shulde geve it you.

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

¹⁴ These all cotinued with one acorde in prayer and supplicacion with the wemen and Mary the mother of Iesu and with his brethren.

¹ Whe the fyftith daye was come they were all with one accorde togeder in one place. ² And sodenly ther cam a sounde from heaven as it had bene the comminge of a myghty wynde and it filled all the housse where they sate.

²⁴ And when they hearde that they lyfte vp their voyces to God with one accorde and sayde: Lorde thou arte God which hast made heaven and erth the see and all that in them is ²⁵ which by the mouth of thy servaunt David hast sayd: Why dyd the hethen rage and the people immagen vayne thinges. ²⁶ The kynges of the erth stode vp and the rulars came to gedder agaynst the Lorde and agaynst his Christ. ²⁷ For of a trueth agaynst thy holy chylde Iesus whom thou hast annoynted bothe Herode and also Poncius Pylate with the Gentils and the people of Israel gaddered them selves to gedder ²⁸ for to do whatsoever thy honde and thy counsell determined before to be done. ²⁹ And now Lorde beholde their threatenynges and graunte vnto thy servauntes with all confidence to speake thy worde. ³⁰ So that thou stretche forth thy honde that healynge and signes and wonders be done by the name of thy holy chylde Iesus. ³¹ And assone as they had prayed the place moved wheare they were assembled to gedder and they were all filled with the holy goost and they spake the worde of God boldely.

⁴ But we will geve oure selves cotinually to prayer and to the ministracion of ye worde.

⁵ Then was Peter kepte in preson. But prayer was made with out ceasynge of the congregacion vnto God for him.

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

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

¹⁴ Yf eny be defeated amonge you let him call for the elders of the congregacion and let the praye over him and anoynte him with oyle in the name of the lorde: ¹⁵ and the prayer of fayth shall save the sicke and the lorde shall rayse him vp: and yf he have committed synnes they shalbe forgeuen him. 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. ¹⁶ Yf eny man se his brother synne a synne that is not vnto deeth let him axe and he shall geve him lyfe for them that synne not vnto deeth. Ther is a synne vnto deeth for which saye I not that a man shuld praye.

⁴ And I will geve power vnto my two wytnesses and they shall prophesy .M.iic. and .lx. dayes clothed in sacke cloth. ⁵ These are two olyve trees and two cadlestyckes stodinge before ye god of ye erth ⁶ And if eny man will hurt them fyre shall procede out of their mouthes and consume their ennemyes. And yf eny ma will hurt the this wyse muste he be kylled.

¹⁰ The sceptre shall not departe from Iuda nor a ruelar from betwene his legges vntill Silo come vnto whome the people shall herken.

²⁴ An alter of erth thou shalt make vnto me ad there on offer thy burntofferinges ad thy peaceoffringes, and thy shepe ad thine oxen. And in all places where I shall put the remebraunce of my name, thither I will come vnto the and blesse the.

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.

⁵⁸ Iesus sayd vnto them: Verely verely I saye vnto you: yer Abraham was I am.

¹⁹ The same daye at nyght which was the morowe after ye saboth daye when the dores were shut where the disciples were assembled to geder for feare of the Iewes came Iesus and stode in the myddes and sayd to the: peace be with you.

²⁶ And after .viii. dayes agayne his disciples were with in and Thomas with them. Then came Iesus when the dores were shut and stode in the myddes and sayde: peace be with you.

⁴ in the name of oure Lorde Iesu Christ when ye are gaddered togedder and my sprete with the power of the Lorde Iesus Christ

¹ Paul Syluanus and Timotheus. Vnto the congregacion of the Tessalonyans in God the father and in ye Lorde Iesus Christ.Grace be with you and peace from God oure father and from the Lorde Iesus Christ. ² and to the beloved Appia and to Archippus oure felowe soudier and to the congregacion of thy housse.

¹¹ sayinge: I am Alpha and Omega the fyrst and the laste. That thou seist write in a boke and sende it vnto the congregacions which are in Asia vnto Ephesus and vnto Smyrna and vnto Pargamos and vnto Thiatira and vnto Sardis and vnto Philadelphia and vnto Laodicia. ¹² And I turned backe to se the voyce that spake to me. And when I was turned: I sawe .vii golde candelstyckes ¹³ and in the myddes of the cadelstyckes one lyke vnto ye sone of ma clothed with a lynnen garmet doune to the ground and gyrd aboute the pappes with a golden gyrdle

¹ Unto the messenger of the congregacion of Ephesus wryte: These thynges sayth he that holdeth the vii. starres in his right honde and walketh in the myddes of the vii. golden candlestyckes

³ And I herde a grett voyce out of heaven sayinge: beholde the tabernacle of God is with men and he will dwell with the And they shalbe his people and God him sylffe shalbe with the and be their god.

¹⁵ Moreover yf thy brother treaspace agenst the. Go and tell him his faute betwene him and the alone. Yf he heare the thou hast wone thy brother:

²⁴ For Cain shall be avenged sevenfolde: but Lamech seventie tymes sevenfolde.

¹¹ And forgeve vs oure treaspases eve as we forgeve oure trespacers. ¹² And leade vs not into teptacion: but delyver vs fro evell. For thyne is ye kyngedome and ye power and ye glorye for ever. Amen.

¹⁴ But and ye wyll not forgeve men their trespases nomore shall youre father forgeve youre treaspases. ¹⁵ Moreoure when ye faste be not sad as ye ypocrytes are. For they disfigure their faces that they myght be sene of me how they faste. Verely I say vnto you they have their rewarde.

²⁵ And when ye stod and praye forgeve yf ye have eny thinge agaynste eny man yt youre father also which is in heve maye forgeve you youre trespases.

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

²⁴ Another similitude put he forth vnto the sayinge: The kyngdome of heve is lyke vnto a man which sowed good seed in his felde.

³¹ Another parable he put forthe vnto the sayinge. The kyngdome of heve is lyke vnto a grayne of mustard seed which a ma taketh and soweth in his felde

³³ Another similitude sayde he to them. The kyngdome of heven is lyke vnto leve which a woman taketh and hydeth in .iii. peckes of meele tyll all be levended.

⁴⁴ Agayne ye kyngdome of heve is lyke vnto treasure hidde in the felde ye which a man fyndeth and hideth: and for ioy therof goeth and selleth all that he hath and byeth that felde. ⁴⁵ Agayne ye kyngdome of heve is lyke vnto a marchaunt that seketh good pearles

⁴⁷ Agayne the kyngdome of heve is lyke vnto a neet cast into ye see yt gadereth of all kyndes of fysshes:

⁵² The sayde he vnto them: Therfore every scribe which is taught vnto the kyngdome of heve is lyke an housholder which bryngeth forth out of hys treasure thynges bothe new and olde.

¹ Then ye kyngdome of heven shalbe lykened vnto .x. virgins which toke their lampes and wet to mete the brydgrome:

¹⁴ Lykwyse as a certeyne ma redy to take his iorney to a straunge coutre called his servautes and delivered to them his gooddes.

¹⁹ After a longe season ye lorde of those servauntes came and rekened with the. ²⁰ Then came he yt had receaved fyve talentes and brought other fyve talentes sayinge: master thou deliveredst vnto one fyve talentes: beholde I have gayned wt the fyve talentes moo. ²¹ The his master sayde vnto him: well good servaut and faithfull. Thou hast bene faithfull in lytell I will make the ruler over moche: entre in into thy masters ioye. ²² Also he that receaved .ii. talentes came and sayde: master thou deliveredest vnto me .ii. talentes: beholde I have wone .ii. other talentes with them. ²³ And his master sayde vnto him well good servaunt and faithfull. Thou hast bene faithfull in lytell I wyll make the ruler over moche: go in into thy masters ioye. ²⁴ Then he which had receaved ye one talent came and sayd: master I considered yt thou wast an harde man which repest where thou sowedst not and gadderest where thou strawedst not ²⁵ and was therfore afrayde and went and hyd thy talent in ye erth: Beholde thou hast thyn awne. ²⁶ His master answered and sayde vnto him: thou evyll servaut and slewthfull thou knewest yt I repe where I sowed not and gaddre where I strawed not: ²⁷ thou oughtest therfore to have had my money to ye chaugers and then at my comynge shulde I have receaved myne awne with vauntage. ²⁸ Take therfore the talent from him and geve it vnto him which hath .x. talentes. ²⁹ For vnto every man that hath shalbe geven and he shall have aboundance: and from him that hath not shalbe taken awaye even that he hath. ³⁰ And cast yt vnprofitable servaunt into vtter dercknes: there shalbe wepynge and gnasshinge of teeth.

¹ And he sayd also vnto his disciples. Ther was a certayne rych man which had a stewarde that was acused vnto him that he had wasted his goodes. ² And he called him and sayd vnto him: How is it that I heare this of the? Geve a comptes of thy steward shippe: For thou mayste be no longer stewarde.

¹² He sayde therfore: a certayne noble man wet into a farre countre to receave him a kyngdome and then to come agayne. ¹³ And he called his ten servauntes and delyvered them ten pounde sayinge vnto them: by and sell till I come. ¹⁴ But his citesens hated him and sent messengers after him sayinge: We will not have this man to raygne over vs. ¹⁵ And it came to passe when he was come agayne and had receaved his kyngdome he comaunded these servautes to be called to him (to whom he gave his money) to witt what every man had done. ¹⁶ Then came ye fyrst sayinge: Lorde thy pounde hath encreased ten poude. ¹⁷ And he sayde vnto him: Well good servaute because thou wast faithfull in a very lytell thynge take thou auctorite over ten cities. ¹⁸ And the other came sayinge: Lorde thy poude hath encreased fyve pounde. ¹⁹ And to ye same he sayde: and be thou also ruler ouer fyve cities. ²⁰ And the thyrde came and sayde: Lorde beholde here thy pounde which I have kepte in a napkyn ²¹ for I feared the because thou arte a strayte man: thou takest vp that thou laydest not doune and repest that thou dyddest not sowe. ²² And he sayde vnto him: Of thine awne mouth iudge I the thou evyll servaunt. knewest thou that I am a strayte man takinge vp that I layde not doune and repinge that I dyd not sowe? ²³ Wherfore then gavest not thou my money into the banke that at my cominge I might have required myne awne with vauntage? ²⁴ And he sayde to them that stode by: take fro him that pounde and geve it him that hath ten poude. ²⁵ And they sayd vnto him: Lorde he hath ten pounde. ²⁶ I saye vnto you that vnto all the that have it shalbe geve: and from him yt hath not eve that he hath shalbe taken from him. ²⁷ Moreover those myne enemys which wolde not that I shuld raigne over them bringe hidder and slee them before me.

¹² So shall every one of vs geve accomptes of him selfe to God.

⁵ Therfore iudge no thinge before the tyme vntill the Lorde come which will lighten thinges that are hyd in darcknes and ope the counsels of the hertes. And then shall every man have prayse of God.

¹⁰ For we must all appere before the iudgement seate of Christ that every man maye receave the workes of his body accordynge to that he hath done whether it be good or bad? ¹¹ Seynge then that we knowe how the lorde is to be feared we fare fayre with men. For we are knowen wel ynough vnto God. I trust also that we are knowen in youre consciences.

⁴¹ There was a certayne lender which had two detters ye one ought five hondred pence and the other fyfty.

⁴ Or those .xviii. apon which ye toure in Syloe fell and slewe the thinke ye that they were synners above all men yt dwell in Ierusalem?

⁵ Then called he all his masters detters and sayd vnto ye fyrst: how moche owest thou vnto my master?

⁷ Then sayd he to another: what owest thou? And he sayde: an hondred quarters of wheate. He sayd to him: Take thy bill and write foure scoore.

² Yf thou bye a servaunte that is an hebrue, sixte yeres he shall serue, and the seuenth he shall goo out fre paynge nothinge.

³⁹ Yf thi brother that dwelleth by the waxe poore and sell him selfe vnto the thou shalt not let him laboure as a bondseruaunte doeth:

² And Iesus put forthe hys hond and touched hym sayinge: I wyll be thou clene and immediatly hys leprosie was clensed.

²⁹ And his felowe fell doune and besought him sayinge: have pacience with me and I wyll paye the all.

⁴³ Simon answered and sayde: I suppose that he to whom he forgave moost. And he sayde vnto him: Thou hast truly iudged.

³ For they are ignoraut of the rightewesnes which is alowed before God and goo about to stablisshe their awne rightewesnes and therfore are not obedient vnto the rightewesnes which is of valew before God.

² And this is the maner off the fre yere, whosoever lendeth ought with his hande vnto his neyghboure, maye not axe agayne that which he hath lent, of his neyghboure or of his brother: because it is called the lordes fre yere,

² And he agreed wt the labourers for a peny a daye and sent them into his vyneyarde.

¹² And leade vs not into teptacion: but delyver vs fro evell. For thyne is ye kyngedome and ye power and ye glorye for ever. Amen.

²⁶ The servaunt fell doune and besought him sayinge: Sir geve me respyte and I wyll paye it every whit.

¹⁸ Yf he have hurt the or oweth the ought that laye to my charge. ¹⁹ I Paul have writte it with myne awne hode. I will recompence it. So that I do not saye to the howe that thou owest vnto me eve thyne awne silfe.

² And these are the generations of Iacob: when Ioseph was .xvij. yere olde he kepte shepe with his brethren and the lad was with the sonnes of Bilha and of Zilpha his fathers wyues. And he brought vnto their father an euyll saynge yt was of them.

⁵ And he loked round aboute on them angerly mournyge on the blindnes of their hertes and sayde to the man: stretch forth thyne honde. And he stretched it oute. And his honde was restored even as whole as the other.

²¹ And the servaunt went and brought his master worde therof. Then was the good man of the housse displeased and sayd to his servaut: Goo out quickly into ye stretes and quarters of the cite and bringe in hidder the poore and the maymed and the halt and the blynde.

⁴¹ And when he was come neare he behelde the citie and wept on it

¹ I saye the trueth in Christ and lye not in that wherof my conscience beareth me witnes in the holy gost ² that I have gret hevynes and continuall sorowe in my hert. ³ For I have wysshed my selfe to be cursed from Christ for my brethren and my kynsmen as pertayninge to the flesshe

¹⁵ Be mery with the that are mery. Wepe wt them that wepe.

²¹ I speake as concernynge rebuke as though we had bene weake. How be it wherin soever eny man dare be bolde (I speake folisshly) I dare be bolde also

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

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

²⁶ His master answered and sayde vnto him: thou evyll servaut and slewthfull thou knewest yt I repe where I sowed not and gaddre where I strawed not:

²² And he sayde vnto him: Of thine awne mouth iudge I the thou evyll servaunt. knewest thou that I am a strayte man takinge vp that I layde not doune and repinge that I dyd not sowe?

¹⁹ Ye and we knowe that whatsoever ye lawe sayth he sayth it to them which are vnder the lawe. That all mouthes maye be stopped and all the worlde be subdued to god

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

³⁵ Wherfore love ye youre enemys do good and lende lokynge for nothinge agayne and youre rewarde shalbe greate and ye shalbe the chyldren of the hyest: for he is kynde vnto the vnkynde and to the evyll. ³⁶ Be ye therfore mercifull as youre father is mercifull.

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

²⁵ Agre with thyne adversary quicklye whyles thou arte in ye waye with hym lest that adversary deliver ye to ye iudge and ye iudge delivre ye to ye minister and the thou be cast into preson. ²⁶ I say vnto ye verely: thou shalt not come out thece till thou have payed ye utmost farthige.

³⁰ And he wolde not but went and cast him into preson tyll he shulde paye the det.

⁵⁸ Whill thou goest with thyne adversary to the ruler: as thou arte in the waye geve diligence that thou mayst be delivered fro him least he bringe the to the iudge and the iudge delyver the to the iaylar and the iaylar cast the in to preson. ⁵⁹ I tell ye thou departest not thence tyll thou have made good ye vtmost myte.

¹⁰ the same shall drynke of the wyne of the wrath of God which is powred in the cuppe of his wrath.

And they have no rest daye ner nyght which worshippe ye beast and his ymage and whosoever receaveth the prynt of his name.

¹ For as ye iudge so shall ye be iudged. And wt what mesure ye mete wt the same shall it be mesured to you agayne. ² Why seist thou a moote in thy brothers eye and perceavest not the beame yt ys yn thyne awne eye.

³⁷ Iudge not and ye shall not be Iudged. Condemne not: and ye shall not be condemned. Forgeve and ye shalbe forgeven. ³⁸ Geve and yt shalbe geven vnto you: good measure pressed doune shaken to geder and runnynge over shall men geve into youre bosomes. For with what measure ye mete with ye same shall men mete to you agayne.

¹⁵ And he sayd vnto the: Ye are they which iustifie youre selves before me: but God knoweth youre hertes. For ye which is highlie estemed amoge me is abhominable in yt sight of god

¹⁴ But Yf ye have bitter envyinge and stryfe in youre hertes reioyce not: nether be lyars agaynst the trueth.
