I can not awaye wt suche vanitie & holdinge in of the people. ¹⁵ They lye vpon me as a burthen, and I am wery of beringe them. Whan ye holde out your handes, I will turne myne eyes from you. And though ye make many prayers, yet wil I heare nothynge at all, seyng your handes are ful of bloude. ¹⁶ Wash you therfore, and make you cleane, put awaye your euell ententes out of my syght, cease from doynge of euell. ¹⁷ Lerne to do ryght, applye your selues to equite, delyuer the oppressed, helpe the fatherles to his ryght, let the widowes complainte come before you. ¹⁸ Come I praye ye (sayeth the Lorde) let vs reason oure matter together.

And they shal both burne together, so that no man shalbe able to quench them.

¹ But who hath geuen credence vnto the thynge we haue hearde? Or to whom is the arme of the Lord knowne? ² For he dyd growe before the Lord lyke as a braunche, & as a rote in a drye grounde, he hath nether bewtye nor fauoure. When we shall loke vpon hym, there shalbe no fayrnesse: we shall haue no lust vnto him. ³ He is despised & abhorred of men, he is soch a man as is full of sorowe & as hath good experience of infirmyties. We haue rekoned hym so vyle, that we hyd oure faces from hym, ye he was despised & therfore we regarded him not. ⁴ Howbeit he only hath taken on hym oure infyrmitie, & borne our paynes. Yet we dyd iudge hym, as though he were plaged & cast downe of God: ⁵ and punished where as he (not wythstandynge) was wounded for oure offences, and smytten for oure wyckednes. For the chastysement of oure peace was layde vpon him, and wyth hys strypes are we healed. ⁶ As for vs, we haue gone all astraye (like shepe) euery one hath turned his awne way. But the Lorde hath heaped together vpon him the iniquitie of vs all. ⁷ He suffred violence and was euell intreated, & dyd not yet open his mouth. He shalbe led as a shepe to be slayne, yet shall he be as styll as a lambe before the shearer, and not open hys mouth. ⁸ He was had awaye from preson hys cause not herde, and wythout eny iudgement: Whose generacyon yet who maye nombre? he was cut of from the grounde of the lyuynge: Whych punyshment dyd go vpon hym, for the transgressyon of my people, whych in deade had deserued that punyshment, ⁹ Hys graue was geuen hym wyth the condemned, and wyth the ryche man at hys deeth. Where as he dyd neuer violence ner vnryght, nether hath there bene eny disceatfulnesse in hys mouth. ¹⁰ Yet hath it pleased the Lorde thus to bruste hym wyth plages, and to smyte hym wyth infyrmite, that when he had made his soule an offeryng for synne, he myght se longe lastynge sede. And thys deuyce of the Lorde shall prospere in hys hande. ¹¹ With trauayle & laboure of hys soule, shall he optayne frute, and he shall be satisfyed by the knowledge of hym whych is my ryghteous seruaunt he shall iustifye the multitude, for he shall beare awaye theyr synnes. ¹² Therfore wyll I geue hym the multitude for hys parte, and he shall deuyde the spoyle wyth the strongest because he geueth ouer hys soule to death, and is rekened amonge the transgressours, whych neuertheles hath taken awaye the synnes of the multitude, and made intercessyon for the mysdoers.

¹ And when the Saboth was past, Mary Magdalen, & Mary Iacob, & Salome, bought swete odoures, that they myght come, & anoynt him? ² And early in the mornyng the fyrst daye of the Sabboth they came vnto the sepulcre, when the Sonne was rysen. ³ And they sayd among them selues: who shall rolle vs awaye the stone from the dore of the sepulchre? ⁴ And when they loked, they sawe how that the stone was rolled awaye, for it was a very greate one. ⁵ And they went into the sepulcre, and sawe a younge man syttyng on the ryghtsyde, clothed in a longe white garment, & they were afrayed. ⁶ And he sayeth vnto them, be not afrayed: ye seke Iesus of Nazareth, whych was crucifyed. He is rysen, he is not here. Beholde the place where they had put him. ⁷ But goo youre waye, and tell his disciples, & Peter, that he goeth before you into Galile: there shall ye se him, as he sayd vnto you. ⁸ And they went oute quyckly, and fledd from the sepulcre.

¹ Vpon an euening of the Sabbothes, whych dawneth the fyrst daye of the Sabbathes, came Mary Magdalene & the other Mary, to se the sepulcre. ² And beholde, ther was a greate earthquake. For the angell of the Lord descended from heauen, & came & rowlled backe the stone from the dore, and sat vpon it. ³ Hys countenaunce was lyke lyghtnynge, and his rayment whyte as snowe. ⁴ And for feare of him the kepers were astonnyed, and became as deed men. ⁵ The angell answered, & sayd vnto the wemen, feare ye not. For I knowe, that ye seke Iesus which was crucifyed: ⁶ he is not here: he is rysen as he sayde.

And they came, & held him by the fete, & worshipped him. ¹⁰ Then sayd Iesus vnto them: be not afrayde. Go tell my brethren, that they go into Galile & there shal they se me. ¹¹ When they were gone, behold, some of the kepers came into the cytie & shewed vnto the hye prestes, all the thinges that had happened. ¹² And they gathered them together with the elders, & toke counsell, & gaue large money vnto the soudiers, ¹³ saying: Saye ye, that his disciples came by nyght & stole hym awaye whyle ye slept. ¹⁴ And yf this come to the rulers eares, we will persuade him, and saue you harmeles. ¹⁵ So they toke the money, & dyd as they were taught.

Handle me and se: for a sprete hath not flesshe and bones, as ye se me haue.

¹ The fyrst daye of the Sabbothes cam Mary Magdalene early (when it was yet darcke) vnto the sepulchre, and sawe the stone taken awaye from the graue. ² Then she ranne, and came to Symon Peter, and to the other dyscyple whom Iesus loued, and sayeth vnto them. They haue taken awaye the Lorde out of the graue, & we cannot tell where they haue layde him. ³ Peter therfore went forth, & that other disciple, and came vnto the sepulchre. ⁴ They ranne both together, & the other disciple dyd out runne Peter, & came fyrst to the sepulchre. ⁵ And whan he had stowped downe he sawe the lynnen clothes lyenge, yet went he not in. ⁶ Then came Symon Peter, folowinge him, & went into the sepulchre, & sawe the lynnen clothes lye, ⁷ & the napkin that was aboute his heed, not lyinge wt the lynnen clothes, but wrapped together in a place by it selfe. ⁸ Then went in also the other discyple, which came fyrst to the sepulchre, and he sawe & beleued. ⁹ For as yet they knew not the scripture, that he shulde ryse agayne from deeth. ¹⁰ Then the disciples went awaye agayne vnto theyr awne home. ¹¹ Mary stode without at the sepulcre wepinge. So as she wepte, she bowed her selfe into the sepulchre, ¹² & seeth two angels clothed in whyte, sytting, the one at the heed & the other at the fete, where they had layde the body of Iesus. ¹³ They saye vnto her, woman, why wepest thou?

Whom sekest thou? She supposing that he had bene a gardener, sayeth vnto him. Syr: yf thou haue borne him hence, tell me wher thou hast layde him, and I wyll fet him. ¹⁶ Iesus sayeth vnto her. Mary.

I ascende vnto my father & youre father: & to my God, & youre God. ¹⁸ Mary Magdalene came & tolde the disciples, that she had sene the Lorde, and that he had spoken soch thinges vnto her.

¹ Crye nowe, as loude as thou canst. Leaue not of, lyft vp thy voyce lyke a trompet, & shewe my people theyr offences, & the house of Iacob their synnes. ² For they seke me daylye, & wyll knowe my wayes, euen as it were a people that dyd ryght, and had not forsaken the statutes of theyr God. They argue wyth me concernynge ryght iudgement, and will be nye vnto God. ³ Wherfore fast we (saye they) and thou seest it not? we put out lyues to straytenes, and thou regardest it not? ⁴ Beholde, when ye fast, youre lust remayneth styll: for ye do no lesse vyolence to your detters: lo, ye fast to stryfe and debate, & to smyte with youre fyst without mercy. Now ye shall not fast thus that your voyce myght be hearde aboue. ⁵ Thyncke ye this fast pleaseth me, that a man shulde chasten him selfe for a daye, and to wrythe his head aboute lyke an hoope, & to lye vpon the earth in an heary cloth? Shulde that be called fastynge, or a daye that pleaseth the Lorde? ⁶ Doth not this fastynge rather please me, that thou loose him out of bondage, that is in thy daunger: that thou breake the ooth of wycked bargaynes, that thou lett the oppressed go fre, and take from them all maner of burthens: ⁷ to deale thy bread to the hongry, & bringe the poore wandringe, home into thy house, when thou seest the naked that thou couer him, and hyde not thy face from thy neyghboure. ⁸ Then shall thy lyght breake forth as the mornyng, & thy health floryshe ryght shortly: thy righteousnesse shall go before the, and the glory of the Lorde shall embrace the. ⁹ Then yf thou callest, the Lorde shall answere the: yf thou cryest, he shall saye: here I am. Yee, yf thou layest awaye from the thy burthens, and holdest thy fingers, & ceasest from blasphemous talkinge, ¹⁰ yf thou hast compassyon vpon the hongrye, & refreshest the troubled soule: Then shall thy lyght sprynge out in the darcknesse, & thy darcknesse shalbe as the noone day. ¹¹ The lord shall euer be thy guyd, & satisfie the desyre of thyne herte in the tyme of drougthe, & fyll thy bones wt mary. Thou shalt be lyke a fresh waterd garden & lyke the fountayne of water, that neuer leaueth runnynge. ¹² Then the places that haue euer bene waste, shalbe builded of the: there shalt thou laye a foundacion for many kynredes. Thou shalt be called the maker vp of hedges, & the buylder agayne of the waye of the Sabboth. ¹³ Yee, yf thou turne thy fete in the Sabbath, so that thou do not the thynge which pleaseth thy self in my holy daye: & thou call the pleasaunt, holy, and glorious Sabbath of the Lorde, and that thou gyue him the hononoure: so that thou do not after thyne awne ymagination, nether seke thyne awne wyll, ner speake thyne awne wordes. ¹⁴ Then shalt thou haue thy pleasure in the Lord, and I wyll carye the hye aboue the earth, and fede the wyth the herytage of Iacob thy father: for the Lordes awne mouth hath so promysed.

¹ But vpon the fyrst daye of the Sabbothes, very early in the mornynge, they came vnto the sepulcre, and brought the swete odoures whych they had prepared, and other wemen wyth them. ² And they founde the stone rowled awaye from the sepulcre, ³ and they went in: but founde not the body of the Lorde Iesu. ⁴ And it happened, as they were amased therat, Beholde, two men stode by them in shynynge garmentes. ⁵ And as they were afrayde, and bowed doune theyr faces to the erth, they sayde vnto them: why seke ye the lyuynge amonge the deed? ⁶ He is not here: but is rysen. Remember, how he spake vnto you, when he was yet in Galile, ⁷ sayinge: that the sonne of man must be delyuered into the handes of synfull men, and be crucyfyed, and the thyrde daye ryse agayne. ⁸ And they remembred hys wordes, ⁹ & returned from the sepulcre, & tolde all these thynges vnto those eleuen, & to all the remnaunt. ¹⁰ It was Mary Magdalen, & Ioanna, and Mary Iacobi, and other that were wyth them, whych tolde these thynges vnto the Apostles. ¹¹ And theyr wordes semed vnto them fayned thynges, nether beleued they them. ¹² Then arose Peter and ran vnto the sepulchre, and loked in, and sawe the lynnen clothes layde by them selfe, and departed, wondrynge in hym selfe at that whych had happened.
