And then at the least waye theyr vncircumcised hertes shalbe tamed, & then they shall make an atonement for theyr mysdeades. ⁴² And I wyl remembre my bond with Iacob, and my testament wyth Isaac, and my testament wyth Abraham, and wyll thynke on the lande. ⁴³ For the Lande shall be lefte of them and shall haue pleasure in hyr Sabbothes, whyle she lyeth wast wythout them, & they shall make on atonement for theyr misdeades, bicause they despised my lawes and theyr soules refused mine ordinaunces. ⁴⁴ And yet for all that when they be in the Lande of their enemy, I wyll not so cast them away nor my soule shal not so abhorre them, that I wyll vtterlye destroye theym and breake myne appoyntment with them: for I am the Lord theyr God. ⁴⁵ I wyl therfore remembre vnto them the fyrst couenaunte made, when I brought them out of the Lande of Egypte in the syght of the Heathen to be their God: for I am the Lorde. ⁴⁶ These are the ordinaunces, iudgmentes, & lawes whych the Lord made betwene hym and the chyldren of Israell in mount Sinai by the hand of Moses.

Auoide sathan. For it is wrytten, thou shalt worshippe the Lord thy God and him only shalt thou serue. ¹¹ Then the diuel left him, & beholde, the aungels came and ministred vnto him. ¹² When Iesus had heard that Iohn was taken, he departed into Galile ¹³ and left Nazareth, and went and dwelt in Capernaum, which is a citye vpon the sea, in the coastes of Zabulon & Nephthalim, ¹⁴ to fulfil that which was spoken by Esay the prophete, sayinge. ¹⁵ The lande of Zabulon and Nephthalym, the waye of the sea beyonde Iordan, Galile of the gentils, ¹⁶ the people which sate in darkenes, sawe great light, & to them which sate in the regyon and shadowe of death, light is begonne to shine. ¹⁷ From the tyme Iesus began to preache, & to say repent for the kingdom of heauen is at hand. ¹⁸ As Iesus walked by the sea of Galile, he sawe two brethren: Symon which was called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea, for they were fysshers, ¹⁹ & he sayed vnto them, folowe me, and I wyll make you fysshers of men. ²⁰ And they straight waye left their nettes, and folowed hym. ²¹ And he went forth from thence, and sawe other two brethren, Iames the sonne of Zebede, and Ihon his brother, in the shippe wyth Zebede their father, mending their nets, and called them. ²² And they without tarringe left the shyp and their father and folowed hym. ²³ And Iesus went about al Galile, teaching in their sinagoges, & preaching the gospel of the kingdome, & healed al maner of sickenes, & all maner of diseases among the people. ²⁴ And his fame sprede abrode through out all Siria.

¹ And the Phariseis came together vnto hym, and diuers of the Scribes, which came from Hierusalem. ² And when they sawe certayne of hys disciples eate breade with commen handes (that is to say wt vnwashen handes) they complayned. ³ For the Phariseis and all the Iewes, except thei wash their handes ofte, eate not obseruinge the tradicions of the elders. ⁴ And when they come from the market, except they wash they eate not. And many other thinges therbe whyche they haue taken vpon them to obserue, as the wasshyng of the cuppes and cruses, and of brasen vessels, and of tables. ⁵ Then axed hym the Phariseis and Scribes, why walke not thy disciples accordynge to the tradicions of the elders, but eate breade with vnwashen handes? ⁶ He aunswered and sayde vnto them: well prophecied Esayas of you hypocrites, as it is wryten: This people honoureth me with theyr lippes, but their hert is farre from me: ⁷ In vayne they worship me, teachynge doctrines whyche are nothyng but the commaundementes of men. ⁸ For ye laye the commaundement of God apart, and obserue the tradicions of men, as the washyng of cruses and of cuppes, and many other suche lyke thinges ye do. ⁹ And he sayde vnto them: wel, ye caste aside the commaundement of God too maintayne your owne tradicions. ¹⁰ For Moyses sayd: Honour thy father and thy mother: and whosoeuer curseth father or mother, let him dye for it. ¹¹ But ye saye a man shall saye to father or mother Corban: whiche is, that thou desirest me to helpe the with, is geuen God. ¹² And so ye suffer him no more to do ought for his father or his mother, ¹³ makynge the worde of God of none effect, thorowe youre owne tradicions, which you haue ordeyned. And many suche thinges ye do. ¹⁴ And he called all the people vnto hym, and sayde to them. Herken to me, euery one of you and vnderstande. ¹⁵ There is nothinge without a man that can defile him when it entereth into him: but those thinges which procede out of hym are those, which defile the man. ¹⁶ If any man haue eares to heare, let hym heare. ¹⁷ And when he came into an house from the people his disciples axed him of the similitude ¹⁸ And he sayde to them: Are ye so without vnderstanding. Do ye not yet perceyue that, whatsoeuer thinge from without entreth into a man it can not defile him, ¹⁹ because it entreth not into his herte, but into his bealy: and goeth out into the draught that pourgeth out all meates. ²⁰ And he sayde that defileth a man, whiche cometh out of a man. ²¹ For from within, euen out of the herte of men, procede euel thoughtes: aduoutry, fornication, murther, ²² theft, coueteousnes, wickednes, deceyte: vncleanenesse and a wicked eye, blasphemy, pryde, folishenes: ²³ all these euell thinges come from within and defile a man. ²⁴ And from thense he rose and went into the borders of Tyre and Sidon, and entered into an house, and would that no man should haue knowen: but he could not be hyd. ²⁵ For a certayn woman, whose doughter had a foule spirite hearde of him, and came & fell at hys fete. ²⁶ The woman was a Greke out of Syrophenicia, and she besought him that he woulde caste out the deuel out of her doughter. ²⁷ And Iesus sayde vnto her: let the chyldren firste be fedde. For it is not mete, to take the chyldrens bread and to cast it vnto whelpes. ²⁸ She aunswered & sayde vnto him: euen so master, neuerthelesse the whelpes also eate vnder the table of the chyldrens cromes. ²⁹ And he sayde vnto her: for this saying go thy waye, the deuell is gone out of thy doughter. ³⁰ And when she was come home to her house, she founde the deuell departed, & her doughter lying on the bed. ³¹ And departed agayne from the coostes yf Tire and Sidon, and came to the sea of Galile, thorow the middest of the coostes of the .x. cyties. ³² And they brought vnto him one that was deafe, and stambred in his speache, and praied him to lay his hand vpon him. ³³ And he toke him a side from the people, and put his finger in his eares, and did spitte and touched hys tonge, ³⁴ and loked vp to heauen, and sighted & sayde vnto him: Ephata, that is to say be opened. ³⁵ And straight way his eares were opened and the stringe of hys tougue was losed, and he spake playne. ³⁶ And he commaunded them that they shoulde tell no man. But the more he forbad them, so muche the more a greate deale they published it: ³⁷ and were beyonde measure astonyed, sayinge: He hath done all thinges well, and hath made both the deafe to heare & the domme to speake.

²⁶ But that comforter whiche is the holy ghost (whome my father wil send in my name) he shal teache you all thinges, & brynge all thynges to youre remembraunce whatsoeuer I haue tolde you.

¹⁹ Derely beloued auenge not youre selues, but geue roume vnto the wrathe of God. For it is wrytten: vengeaunce is myne, and I wyll rewarde sayeth the Lorde.

⁴ For he is the minister of GOD, for thy welth. But and yf thou do euyll, then feare: for he beareth not a swearde for noughte, but is the minister of God, to take vengeaunce on them that do euyll.

⁸ Yf there be anye that prouideth not for hys owne, & namely for them of hys housholde the same denyeth the fayth, & is worsse then an infydele.

¹³ There hath none other temptacion taken you, but suche as foloweth the nature of man. But God is faythful whiche shall not suffre you to be tempted aboue your strength: but shall in the middest of the temptacion make a waye to escape out.
