A Prologue or preface made by

Thomas Cranmer, sometime Archbishop of Canterbury.

Concerning two fundy sortes of people, it seemeth much ne-
cessarie that something be faide in the entrie of this booke by the way of a
Preface or Prologue, whereby hereafter it may be both the better accepted
of them which hitherto could not well beare it, e als the better seld of them
which heretofore have misused it. For truly some there are that be too flow,
and need the spurre,some other seeme too quickie, and need more of the hider
some loose their game by thoro shooting, some by ouer shooting, some walke
too much on the left hande, some too much on the right. In the former for
be all the chy that refuse to reade, or to heare read the scripture in the vulgare
tongue,much worse the chy that let also or discourage the other for the reading
or hearing thereof. In the latter for they be which by their immoderate ra-
ding, undifcrete speaking, contentious disputing, or other wife by their licen-
cious living, slander and hinder the wode of God most of all other, whereof
they would seeme to be greatell furthererts. The the two sortes, albeit they be
moff farre unlike the one to the other, yet they both deferue in effect like re-
proch : neither can I well tell whether of them I mayunge the more offender, him that doth obdintately refuse so godly
and goodly knowledge : or him that so ungody and so ungoddly both abuse the fame. And as touching the former, I
would maruell much that any man should be so mad, as to refuse in darkenes, light : in hunger, soode : in colde, fire : for
the wode of God is light: Lucerna pedibus meis verbum tuum. Thp wode is a lanterne unto my feete . It is soode : for
Non in folo pane vuit homo, fed in omni verbo Dei. Pan shall not lie by head onely, but by every wode of God. It
is fire: Ignem veni mittere in terram, & quid volo, nisi ut ardeat ? I am come to sende fire on the earth, and what is my
desire, but that it be kindled : I would maruell (I say at this) faue that I confider how much culltome & usage may do.
So that if there were a people as some wite, de Cymeris, which neuer saw the Sunne, by reafon that they be situated
farre toward the North pole, and be inclosed and ouerhabed with high mountains : it is credible and like enough,
that if by the power and will of God, the mountaines should flinke downe, & give place, that the light of the sunne might
haue entrance to them, at the firſt fome of them would be offenued therewith. And the olde prouerbe affirmath, that after
tillage of corne was firſt founde, many delighted more to feed of malt and acornes, wherewith they had bene accuflomed,
euen to eate head made of good corne. Such is the nature of culltome, that it caueth us to beare all thingsie well and
eafily wherewith we have bene accuflomed, and to be offended with all things thereunto contrary. And therefore I can
well thinke them wochie pardon, which at the comming abode of ſcripture doubted and new backe. But such as will
perſuit ſkill in their wilſulnes, I muſt needes lunge not onely foolish, forward, and obstinate : but also preuilce, peruere, &
inurrate. And yet, if the matter should be tried by culltome, we might also alledge culltome for the reading of ſcripture
in the vulgare tongue, and preſcribe the more ancient culltome. For it is not much above one bundeth yere ago, ſince
ſcripture hath not bene accuſomed to be read in the vulgare tongue within this realme, and many bundeth peres before
that, it was tranflated ſe read in the Sarons tongue, which at that time was our mother tongue, whereof there remaine
pet diuerſe copies found lately in olde Abbezes, of ſuch antique maner of writing and ſpeaking, that few men now be a-
ble to read and understand them. And when this language waxed old and out of common usage, because ſolke should not
lacke the fruit of reading, it was againe tranflated into the newer language, whereof yet almoſt copies remaine, and
be daphy found. But now to let palle culltome, and to wep, as wife men euer should, the thing in his owne nature : let vs
here diſculle what it auapleth ſcripture to be had and read of the lay a vulgare people. And to this quicke: I intend here
to ſay nothing, but that was ſpoken and witten by the noble doctour and moſt mojall diuine, Saint John Chryſtome,
in his third ſermon de Lazaro, albeit I will be ſome thing thorou, and gather the matter into ſeveral words & like rame
then he doth there, because I would not be tedious. He erhoreth there his audience, that euery man should read by him
ſelfe at home in the meane dapes and time, betweene ſermon and ſermon, to the intent they might both more p[ro]oundely
fire in their mindes and memorie that he had ſayd before upon ſuch textes, whereupon he had alreadye preached; and al-
ſo that they might haue their mindes the more readie and better prepared to receue and perceue that which he ſhoude
ſay from chenceforth in his ſermons, upon ſuch texts as he had not yet declared and preached upon : therefore, ſayth he
there, As common ſlage is to give you warning before, what matter I intende after to intreate upon, that you pour
ſelues in the meane dapes, may take the booke in hande, read, wep, and perceue the ſumme and effect of the matter, and
marke what hath bene declared, and what remaينeth yet to be declared, to that thereby pour mind may be the more fur-
niſhed to heare the reſt that halbe layde. And that I erhore you (ſayth he) and euer haue and wil erhore you, that you (not
onely here in the Church) giue eare to that which is ſayd by the Preacher : but that also when you be at home in your hou-
fes, we applye pour ſelues from time to time to the reading of holy ſcriptures : which thing also I neuer lin to beat in-
to the cares of them that be my familiaris, and which whom I haue priuate acquaintance and conversation. Let no man
make ercuse and ſay (ſayth he) I am buſied about matters of the common wealth, I heare this office, or that, I am a craftſ
man, I muſt applye in mine occupation, I haue a wife, my children muſt be fed, my houſhold muſt I p[ro]vide for, briefly I
am a man of the wode, it is not for me to read the ſcriptures, that belongeth to them that haue bidden the world fare-
well, which line in ſolitarineſt, and contemplation, and haue bene thought vp and continually nouſelled in learning and
elegion. To this anſwering, What ſaſſt thou man (ſayth he)? Is it not for mee to studie and to read the ſcripture, be-
cauſe thou art encuſhed and diſtract with cares and busines ? So much the more it is behouefull for thee to haue de-
ſence of ſcriptures, how much thou art the more diſtressed in worldly dangers. They that be free and farre from trou-
ble and intermingling of worldly things, line in ſafegard, and tranquillitie, and in the calme, or within a fire hauen. Thou
art in the middeſt of the ſea of worldly wickedneſt, and therefore thou needest the more of ghoſtly ſuccour and comfort.
They ſit farre from the krokes of battell, and farre out of gunne ſhote, and therefore they be but ſelvome wounded.
Thou that Candeſt in the ſoſeŕont of the holt, and nigheſt to thine enemie, muſt needes take now ſe then many krokes,
and be grieuously wounded, and therefore thou haſt muſt need to haue thy remedies and medicines at hande. Thy wafe
proueth that thou to anger, thy childe giueth thee occasion to take ſoowe and penſiuneſſe, thine enemie lie in waype for
thee, thy friend (as thou takeſt him) ſometime enuith thee, thy neighbour miſrezo: tech thee, or ppeth quarels agavuſt

mer part, Iail here conclude, and take it for a conclusion, sufficiently determined and appointed, that it is convenient for good, the Scriptures to be read of all sortes and kindes of people, in the bulgare tongue, without further allegations or objections for the fame, which thal not neede, since that one place of John Chrysostome is enough, and sufficient to perfuade all them that be not frowardly or peruserly fet in their owne wilful opinion, specially now that the Ringes highneſſe being supreme head next under Chriſt of this Church of England, hath appoyed with his roppal affent the felling forth hereof, which only to all true and obedient subiects ought to be a sufficient reaſon for the allowance of the fame, without further delay, reclamation, or reſtance, although there were no preſence, or other reaſon herein expeſſed. Thereſo now to come to the ſeconde or latter part of my purpose: here is nothing ſo good in this woide, but it may be abuſe, and turned from unburſall and wholeſome, to hurrſull and nopſome. What is there aboue better then the Sunne, the Moone, and the Starres ? Yet was there that tooke occasion by the great beaute and vertue of them, to diuionſure God, and to beſele themſelues with idolatry, giuing the honour of the living God and creator of all things, to ſuch things as he had created. What is here here beneath better then fire, water, meates, minkes, mettals of gold, filuer, yon, and ſteele ? Yet we fee dably great harme and much miſchef done by euery one of thele, alwauethy lacke of wifedome and prouidence of them that ſuffer euill, as by the malice of them that worke the euill. Thus to them that be euill of themſelues, euery thing leteth forward and increaſeth their euill, be it of his owne nature a thing neuer so good: like as contrarily, to them that ſtudie and induenure themſelues to goodneſſe, euery thing preuileth them, and profiteth unto good, be it of his owne nature a thing neuer so bad, as D. Paul ſayth, His qui dignificant Deum, omnia cooperantur in bonum. All things do bring good ſucceſſe, to ſuch as do loue God, even as out of most benemous woymes is made triacle, the moſt loueraigne medicine for the peferuation of mans health in time of dangerne. Wherefore I woude auuſe you all that come to the reading of hearing of this booke, which is the woode of God, the moſt precious JEWEL, and moſt holy reſlike that remayneth upon earth, that ye bring with you the ſeare of God, and that ye do it with all due reuerence, and use your knowledge thereof, not to vaineſtie of friuolous disputation: but to the honour of God, encreale of vertue, and edification both of your ſelues and others. And to the intent that my words may be the more regar'd, I will be in this part the authoijetie of Saint Gregoſy Nazianzene, like as in the other I did of Saint John Chrysostome. It appeareth that in his time there were ſome (as I feare me there be almo now at theſe dayes a great noiser) which were ile blabbers, and talkers of the ſcripture out of ſeason ſal good order, and without any increase of vertue, or example of good living: to them he witteth al his first boſke, de Theologia. Wherefore I thal briefly gather the whole effect, and reeite it here vuto you. There be ſome (aſyth) he) whole not only eares and ſonges, but also their fities he wheetred and readie bent all to contention and unprofitable disputation, whom I would with as they be beheved and earnest to reaſon the matter with tongue, so they were all readie and practice to do good deeds. But for as much as they subuerting the order of all godlinelſes, haue reſpect only to this thing, how they may binde and looke ſubſuſel questions, to that nowe euery market place, euery ale house and tauerne, euerie feast houſe, briefly euery compaine of men, euery assemblie of wemen, is filled with ſuch talke: Since the matter is ſo (aſyth) he) and that out ſayth and holy religion of Chriſt beginneth to ware nothing eſt but as it were a lophitrie or a talking craft, I can not leſſe but lay ſomething thereunto. It is not fit (aſyth) he) for euery man to dispuſe the high queſtions of diuinitie, neither is it to be done at all tymes, neuer in euery audience must euemiele ſuch doubt: but we must know when, to whom, and how farre we ought to enter into ſuch matters. First, it is not for euery man, but it is for ſuch as be of exact, or exquiste iudgements, and such as haue spent their time before in ſtudie and contemplation, and ſuch as before haue clenſed themſelues alwell in ſoule as bodie, or at the leaſt endeavoured themſelues to be made cleane. For it is a baugherous (aſyth) he) for the uncleane to touch that thing which is moſt cleane, like as the ſoſe eye takerth harme by looking vpon the Sunne. Secondarly, not at all times, but when we be reſoſed, and at reſt from all outward vnegs and trouble, and when that our heades be not embangled with other worldely and wandring imaginations: as if a man should mingle balme and dirt together. For he that halv judge and determine ſuch matters and doubtes of ſcriptures, muſt take his time when he may apply his wittes thereunto, that he may thereby the better fee and diſerne what is truth. Thirdly, where, and in what audience. There and among those that haue bene ſtudious to learne: And not among ſuch as haue pleasure to trſe with ſuch matters, as with other things of paltime, which repute for their chieſe delicates, the diſputation of high queſtions, to the ſhew their wittes, learning, aſſurance in reaſoning of high matters. Fourthly, it is to be considered how farre to wade in ſuch matters of difficultie. No further (aſyth) he) but as euery man owne capaciſe will ferue him, and againe no further then the weakneſſe or inſtelligence of the other audience may beare. For like as too great noyle hunteeth the ear, too much meate hunteeth the man, too much burdens hurt the bearers of them, too much raine doth more hurt then good to the ground: briefly in all things too much is noponſe: even as weake wittes, and weake conſences, may ſoon be oppelled with ouer farde queſtions. I ſay not this to diffuade men from the knowledge of God, and reading of diſpuding of the ſcripture: For I ſay that it is as neceſſarie for the life of man's ſoule, as for the bodie to breathe. And if it were possible ſo to line, I would thinke it good for a man to ſpend al his life in that, and to do none other thing. I commend the law which biſeth to meditate and diſpud the ſcriptures alwayes both night and day, and Sermons and preachings to be made both morning, noone, and euentide, and God to be lauded and bleſſed in all times, to bedwarde, from bed, in our fourjures, and in all other works. I ſo bid not to read, but I ſo bid to reaſon. Neither ſo bid I to reaſon as farre as is good and godly: but I allow not that is done out of ſeason, and out of meaſure and good order. A man may eate too much of hony be it neuer so fewc, ſo there is time ſo euery thing, and that thing that is good is not good if it be ungolden done. Even as a flower in winter is out of ſeason, and as a womans apparell becommeth not a man, neither contrarily, the manes the woman, neither is weeping convenient at a bidveale, neither laughing at a buriall. Now if we can obſerue and keepe that is comely and timely in all other things: thal not we then the rather do the fame in the hoſly ſcriptures: Let vs not runne tothor as it were wilde hoſſes, that can suffer neither hydle in their mouthes, nor litter on their backs. Let vs keepe vs in our boundes, neither let vs go too farre on the one side, least we returne into Egypt, neither too farre ouer the other, least we be carried away to Babylon. Let vs not ſing the ſong of our Lord in a ſtrange land, that is to lay, let vs not diſpuſe the woode of God at all aduentures, alwell where it is not to be reaſoned as where it is, and alwell in the eares of them that be not fit therefor, as of them that be. If we can in no wife ſo beare, but that we muſt needes diſpute, let vs knowe beare thus much at the leaſt, to do it out of time and place convenient: and let vs entreate of thate things which bee holp, holly: and upon thate things that be myſticall, myſtically: and not to better the viuine myſteries in the eares vnwoſttrie to heare them, but let vs know what is comely, alwell in our ſilence and talking, as in our garments wearing, in our feeding, in our geſture, in our goings, in all our other behaviour. This contention and debates about ſcriptures & doubts thereof (specially when ſuch as do pretend to be the fauourers and ſtudents thereof, cannot agree within them: ſelues) doth moſt hurt to our ſelues, & to the furthering of the cauſe & quarels that we should haue furthered about al other things. And we in this (aith) he not unlike to them, being mad, ſet their own houſes on ſire, & that lay their own children, or heat their owne parents. I marwell much (aith) he) to recount whereof cometh all this diſtire of bauglopy, whereof

The Prologue.

whereof commeth al this cogue itch, that we haue so much delight to talke and clatter: And wherein is our communica-
tion? Not in the cœmendation of vertuous & good deeds, of hospitalitie, of loue betweene chiltriæ brother & brother, of loue
between man and wife, of virginitie and chalitie, and of almes toward the peoze: not in jospalnes and godly longes, not
in lamenting for our fines, not in repreſling the affections of the bodie, nor in prayers to God. We talke of ſcripture,
but in the meane time we subdue not our ſleth by falting, watching and weeping, wee make not this life a mediature
of death, we do not strue to be lops our our appetites and affections, we go not about to pul downe our pyoude and
high minds, to abate our ſumth and rancorous stomacks, to reſtraine our ſuſt and bodily delectations, our undifcreet
ſoſowles, our laſtuitous mirth, our inſodinat looking, our inſatiable hearing of vices, our ſpeaking without meaſure,
cur, curoneuent thoughtes, and hieſtly, to reſoyme our life & maners: but al our holinese confiſſeth in talking. And we
pardon eche other from all good living, so that we may ſtcke faſt together in argumentation, as though there were no
no wayes to heauen but this alone, the way of ſpeculation and knowledge (as they take it) but in very deede it is rather
the way of ſuperfluous contention & ſophiſtication. Hitherto haue I received the mind of Gregorie Nazianzene in that
booke which I spake of before. The fame authorour faith also in another place, that the learning of a chiltriæ man
ought to begin of the ſeaſ of God, to end in matters of high ſpeculation: and not contrarily to begin with ſpeculation,
and to end in ſeaſe. For ſpeculation (faith he) either high cunning or knowledge, if it be not stayed with the bide of
ſeaſe to offende God, is dangerous, and ynough to tumble a man headlong downe the hill. Therefore, ſayth he, the
ſeaſe of God muſt be the firſt beginning, and as it were an A. B. C. or an introduction to all them that shall enter into
the very true and moſt fruitful knowledge of holy ſcriptures. There as is the ſeaſ of God, there is (ſayth he) the kee-
ping of the commandements: and where as is the keeping of the commandements, there is the cleanſing of the ſleth:
which ſleth is a cloude before the foules epe, and ſuffreth it not purely to ſee the beame of the heauenly light. Where as
is the cleanſing of the ſleth, there is the illumination of the holgheſt, the end of all our desires, & the very light where-
by the veritie of ſcriptures is ſene and perceived. This is the minde, and almost the words of Gregorie Nazianzene,
doctor of the Greeke Church, of whome Saint Jerome ſaith, that unto his time the latine Church had no writer able
to bee compared, and to make an euen match with him. Therefore to conclude this latter part, every man that com-
meth to the reading of this holgheſt, ought to bring with him firſt and moſt this ſeaſ of al mightie God, and then
nert, a firme and ſtble purpose to reſoime his owne ſelſe according thereunto, and so to continue, proceede, and proper
from time to time, thewng him ſelſe to be a ſober and fruitful hearer and learner: which if he do, he shall pyoue at
length wel able to teach, though not with his mouth, yet with his living and good example, which is ſure the moſt line-
ly and effectuous ſoſme and maner of teaching. He that other wife intermedleth with this booke, let him bee allured
that once he shall make account therefor, when he that haue said to him as it is written in the Moſhet David, Peccat-
tori dicit Deus &c. Anto the bugoely ſaid God, Why doſt thou reach my lawes, & takeſt my testament in thy mouth?
Thereas thou hateſt to be reſoimeſ, and haſt bene partaker with adulterers. Thou haſt let thy mouth ſpeake
wickedneſſe, and with thy tongue thou haſt ſet forth deceit. Thou fareſt and spaketh against the brother,
and haſt flandered chine owne mothers ſonne. These things haſt thou done, and I held my tongue,
and thou thoughtest wickedly, that I am euen ſuch a one as thy ſelſe : But I will reſoime
thee, and ſet before thee the things that thou haſt done. O confider this, pe that for-
get God, least I plucke you away, and there be none to deliver you. Who
so offereth me thankes and praise, he honoureth me: and to him
that ordereth his converſation right, will I the we
the saluation of God.

Praise be to God.

Chapters which be least edifying, and might
best be spared, and therefor be left vnread.

The newe Testament is appoynted for the first and Lessons at Morning and Evening prayer, and thalbe read ouer orderly euery yeare, thylke beſide the Epítles and Gospells: Except the Reuiclion, out of the which there be onely certaine Lessons appoynted upon diuers pro-

And here is to be noted, that whensoeuer there be any proper Psalms or Lessons appoyn'ted for the Sundapes, or for any keast moueable or vnmoeable: then the Psalms and Lessons appoynted in the Kalender, thalbe omitted for that time.

We must note also that the Collectet, Epítle,

keast that hath his proper.

When the yeares of our Lord may be diu-

we must begin at the beginning of the Chapter.

And, where so euere is not expreſſed howe
farre thalbe read: there you thal reade to the end
of the Chapter.

Item, so often as the first Chapter of Saint
Matheus, is read cyther for Lesson or Gospel,
we thal begin the fame at verſe vii. Nowe the
birth of Iesus Chrift was thus, &c. And the third

33 Of Herari came the familie of Mahlites, and the familie of the Mulhites: these are the families of Herari.

34. And the summe of them, according to the number of all the males, from a moneth old and above was fixe thouland and two hundred.

35 The captaine and the ancient of the house of the families of Herari (halbe Zuriel the sonne of Abihail : they shall pitche on the Northside of the Tabernacle.

36 And in the charge a custodie of the sonnes of Herari (halbe m the boardes of the Tabernacle, a the barres thereof, and his pillars, a his sockets, and all the instruments thereof, and all that serueth thereto,

39 The whole summe of the Leuites, which Holes and Aaron nombed at the commendaement of the Lord throughout their families, even all the males from a moneth olde and above, was two a twentie c thouland.

40 And the Lord said unto Holes, Nover all the first boze that are males among the children of Israel, from a moneth olde and above, a take the number of their names.

41 And thou halt take the Leuites to me for all the first boze of the children of Israel (I am the Lord) and the cattell of the Leuites for all the first boze of the cattell of the children of Israel.

42 And Holes nombred, as the Lorde commaunded him, all the first boze of the children of Israel.

43 And all the first boze males rehearsed by name (from a moneth olde a above) according to their number were two a twentie thouland, two hundredeth seuentie a three.

44 And þ Lord spake vnto Holes, laying,

8 And the sonnes of Aaron the Priest shall blow the trumpets, and ye shall have them as a lawe for euery in your generations.

9 And when ye go to warre in your lande a gainst the enemie that bexeth you, ye shall blow an alarme with the trumpets, and ye shall be remembred before your God, and shall be faued from your enemies.

⁹On, Iofhua.

9 Of the tribe of Ephraim, Dhea þ sonne of Aun:

10 Of the tribe of Beniamin, Palti the sonne of Raphu:

11 Of the tribe of Zebulun, Gaddiel þ sonne of Sod:

12 Of the tribe of Joseph, to wit, of the tribe of Manaleh, Gaddi the sonne of Suli:

13 Of the tribe of Dan, Ammiel the sonne of Gemaliel:

14 Of the tribe of Asher, Sethur the sonne of Michael:

15 Of the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi the sonne of Uophni:

16 Of the tribe of Gad, Geuel the sonne of Machi.

⁹c Which in number were twelve, according to the number of tribes.

17 These are the names of the men, which Moles sent to spy out the land; and Moles called the name of Dhea the sonne of Nun Jehohua.

18 So Moles sent them to spy out the lande of Canaan, and said unto them, Go by this way towarde the South, and goe by into the mountains,

¹⁰On, high country.

19 And consider the land what it is, and the people that dwell therein, whether they be strong or weak, either few or many,

20 Also what the land is that they dwell in, whether it be a good or bad: and what cities they be, that they dwell in, whether they dwell in tents, or in walled towns:

²¹d Plentifall of Sarren.

21 And what the land is: whether it be fat or lean, whether there be trees therein, or not. And be of good courage, and bring of the fruit of the lande (for then was the time of the first ripe grapes)

22 Of the which they went by, and searched out the lande, from the wildernes of Zin unto Rehob, to go to Hamath,

²³d Which was in the wilderness of Paran.

23 And they ascended toward the South, for came unto Hebron, where were Ahiman, Seshalh אֶשְׁלֹה, אֶת עַלְמַן, the sonnes of אֶל אֶנְכָּה. And s Hebron was built seven pere before Zoan in Egypt.

²⁴f Which were a kind of grapes. A “darning” or “anquetter” of: also “whysa” Ham, Sara, Shyak & Jaa. Keh were busied there. Deut. 1:14.

24 * Then they came to the river of Echol, a cut downe thence a branch with one cl Cluster of grapes, and they bare it upon a barre betweene two, and brought of the pomegranates and of the figges.

25 That place was called the river Echol, because of the cluster of grapes, which the children of Israel cut downe thence.

²⁶f On, the valley of Echol, that of grapes.

26 Then after fourtie daies, they turned againe from searching of the land.

²⁷h Caleb also Kadeh-bena.

27 And they went and came to Moles and to Aaron and unto all the Congregation of the children of Israel, in the wildernes of Paran, to Kadeh, and brought to them, to all the Congregation tydings, that they brought them the fruit of the lande.

²⁸i That is, Moles.

28 And they tolde him, and said, We came into the lande whither thou haft sent vs, a

surely it floweth with * milke and honie; Exod. 33:3, and here is of the fruit of it.

29 Neuerthelesse the people be strong that dwell in the lande, and the cities are walled and exceeding great: and moiz outer, we sawe the sonnes of Anak there.

30 The Amalekites dwell in the Southcottrey, and the Hittites, and the Jebulites, and the Amorites dwell in the mountaines, and the Canaanites dwell by the Sea, and by the coast of Jorden.

³¹k On, man, Sshetha, and Tannai, who? Exod. 11:21, 22.

31 Then Caled filled the people" before Moles, and said, Let vs go vp at once, as poſſible it: for I vn doubtedly we shall ouercome it.

³²On, murmuring against Moles.

33 But the men, that went vp with him, said, we be not able to go vp against the people: for they are stronge r than we.

33 So they brought vp an evil report of the lande which they had searched for the children of Israel, saying, The lande which we have gone through to search it out, is a land that I careth vp the inhabitants thereof: for all the people that we sawe in it, are men of great stature.

³⁴The grants were to cens that they go vp and filled one another, for that they came to them.

34 For there we sawe gyants, the sonnes of Anak, which come of the gyants, so that we seemed in our fight like graſhoppers; and so we were in their fight.

3 Then all the Congregation liked vp their boyce, and cryed: and a the people wept that night,

³⁵Such as were affaid for the report of the ten pines,

2 And al the children of Israel murmured against Moles and Aaron: and the whole assemblie said unto them, Woulde God we had died in the lande of Egypt, or in this wilderness: would God we were dead.

3 Wherefore now hath the Lord brought vs into this land to fall upon the sword? our wines, or our children shall be a pray: were it not better for vs to returne into Egypt?

³⁶To our eves were the Cae naanes.

4 And they said one to another, Let vs make a Captaine and returne into Egypt.

5 Then Moes and Aaron, c fel on their faces before all the assemblie of the Congregation of the children of Israel.

6 *And Joshua the sonne of Nun, and Caleb the sonne of Jephunneh two of them that searched the land, rent their clothes,

9 But rebell not ye against the Lord, neither feare ye þ people of þ land: for they are but bread for vs: their shield is departed from them, and the Lord is with vs, feare the not.

4 We that eare the ouercome them. This is the condition of them that would perſute in God's cauſe, to be perſecuted of the unmiſcituie.

10 And all the multitude said, f Stone them with stones: but the glory of the Lord appeared in the Tabernacle of the Congregation, before all the children of Israel.

12 I will finite them with the pestilence and destruy them, and will make thee a greater nation and mightier then they.

13 But Moses said unto the Lord, * whenen * the Egyptians shall heare it, (for: thou diuough'test this people by thy power from among them)

14 Then they shall say to the inhabitants of this land, (for they haue heard that thou, Lord, art among this people, and that thou, Lord, art leene * face to face, and that thy cloude standeth ouer them, and that thou * goest before them by day time in a pillar of a cloude, and in a pillar of fire by night)

But your children, which ye saith thou should be a piay them wil I bring in, as they shall know the land which ye haue refused:

But even your carkeles shall fall in this wilderness.

And your children shall * wander in û wildernes, fourtie yeres, and shall beare you * whoe domes, until your carkeles be walled in the wildernes.

After the number of the daies, in û which ye searched out the land, even fourtie dates, * every day for a pere, that ye beare your iniquitie, for * fourtie yeres, and ye * shall feele my breach of promise.

If the Lord haue said. Certainly I will do to all this wicked companie, that are gathered together against me: for in this wilderness they shall be consumed, as there they shall die.

And the men which Moles had sent to search the lande (which, when they came againe, made all the people to murmure against him, and brought vp a slander upon the lande)

Euen those men that did bring vp that vilelander upon the land, * that die by a plague before the Lord.

But Iohua the sonne of Aun, and Caleb the sonne of Jephunneh, of those men that went to search the land, shall live.

Then Moles tolde these sayings unto al the children of Israel, as the people sowed greatly.

* And they rose vp early in the morning, a gate them vp into the top of the mountaine, laying, Lo, we be readie, to go vp to û place which the Lord hath promised: for we have a limited.

But Moles said, wherefore transgrefle ye thus the commandement of the Lord? it will not come well to paffe.

Go not vp for the Lord is not amog you left ye be ouertho wn before your enemies.

For the Amalekites and the Canaanites are there before you, and ye shall fall by the sword: for in as much as ye are turned away from the Lord, the Lord also will not be with you.

But they presumed - obstinately to go vp to the top of the mountaine : but the Arke of the covenant of the Lord, and Moles departed not out of the campe.

Then the Amalekites & the Canaanites, which dwelt in û mountaine, came downe and smote them,* and consumed them into Hozmah.

I N o w * Korah the sonne of Izhat, the
sonne of Kohath, the sonne of Leui
" went apart with Dathan, and Abi-
tam the sonnes of Eliab, and On the sonne
of Deleth, the sonnes of Reuben :

2 And they role vp * against Moles, with cer-
taine of the children of Israel, two hundred
and fiftie captaines of the assemblie, * fa-
mous in the Congregation, and men of re-
noume,

3 who gathered them selues together a
gainst Moles, and against Aaron, and laid
unto them, a Ye take to much vpon you, fee-
ing all the Congregation is holie, b euerie
one of them, and the Lord is among them:
wherefore then lift ye pour selues aboue the
Congregation of the Lord?

4 But when Moles heard it, he fel vpon his
face,

5 And spake to Korah and vnto all his com-
panie, laying, To morowe the Lord will
shew who is his, and who is holy, and who
ought to approche neere vnto him: a whom
he hath b chosen, he wil caule to come neere
to him.

6 This do therefore, Take you censers, both
Korah, and all his companie,

7 And put fire therein, and put incense in the
before the Lord to morowe : and the man
whome the Lord doeth chuse, the same shall
be holy : d ye take to much vpon you, ye
sonnes of Leui.

8 Againe Moles laid vnto Korah, Heare, I
pray you, ye sonnes of Leui.

9 Seemeth it a final thing vnto you that the
God of Israel hath separated you from the
multitude of Israel, to take you nere to him
selse, to do the seruice of the Tabernacle of
the Lord, and to stand before the Congre-
gation and to minister vnto them?

10 He hath also taken thee to him, and all
thy beatieth the sonnes of Leui with thee,
and seeke ye the office of the Priest also?

11 For which cause, thou, and all thy compa-
ny are gathered together against the Lord:
and what is Aaron, that ye murmur a-
gainst him?

12 And Moles lent to call Dathan, and A-
biram the sonnes of Eliab: who answered,
We wil not come vp.

13 It is a small thing that thou haest brought
vs out of a lande that floweth with milke

and honie, to kil vs in the wildernes, except
thou make thy selfe lord and ruler ouer vs
also?

14 Also thou haest not brought vs vnto a land
that floweth with milke and honie, neither
given vs inheritance of fields a vineyards:
wilt thou s put out the eyes of these men:
we will not come vp.

15 Then Moles waned very angry, and laid
unto the Lord, * Looke not vnto their of-
fering: I haue not taken to much as an ale
from them, neither haue I hurt any of the.

16 And Moles laid vnto Korah, Be thou and
all thy company h before the Lord: both
thou, they, and Aaron to morowe :

17 And take euery man his cenzo, and put
incense in them, and bring ye euery man his
cenzo before the Lord, two hundredeth and
fiftie cenzo s : thou also and Aaron, euerie
one his cenzo.

18 So they tooke euery man his cenzo, and
put fire in them, and laide incense thereon,
& stood in the doore of the Tabernacle of the
Congregation with Moles and Aaron.

19 And Korah gathered all the multitude a
gainst them vnto the doore of the Taberna-
cle of the Congregation: then the gloze of
the Lord appeared vnto all the Congrega-
tion.

20 And the Lord spake vnto Moles and to
Aaron, laying,

21 Separate your selues from among this
Congregation, that I may consume them
at once.

22 And they fell vpon their faces and said, O
God the God of the spirits, a of al flesh, hath
not one man onely finned, and will thou be
worth with all the Congregation?

23 And the Lord spake vnto Moles, laying,

24 Speake vnto the Congregation and lay,
Get you away from about the tabernacle
of Korah, Dathan and Abiram.

25 Then Moles role vp, and went vnto Da-
than and Abiram, and the Elders of Israel
followed him.

26 And he spake vnto the Congregation, lay-
ing, Depart, I pray you, from the tents of
these wicked men, and touch nothing of
theirs, left ye perith k in all their linnes.

27 So they gate them away from the Ta-
bernacle of Korah, Dathan and Abiram on
eueru side: and Dathan, and Abiram came
out and stooode in the doore of their tentes
with their dwies, and their sonnes, & their
little children.

28 And Moles said, Hereby ye shall knowe
that the Lord hath sent me to do all these
workes : for I haue not done them of mine
alone l minde.

29 If these men die the common death of all
men, or if they be visited after the visitati-

shall understand that these men have pronounced the Lord.

31 And alloone as he had made an ende of speaking all these words, even the ground clane alunder that was under them,

32 And the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed their bp, with their families, as all the men that were with Kozah, and all their goods.

33 So they as all that they had, went downe aline into the pit, and the earth couered them: so they perished from among Congregation.

34 And all Israel that were about them, fled at the erie of them: so they said, Let vs flee, left the earth Swallowe vs bp.

35 But there came out a fire from the Lord, and confumed the two hundred and fifty men that offred the incense.

36 And the Lord spake unto Moles, saying,

37 Speake unto Cleazar, the sonne of Aaron the Priest, that he take vp the censers out of the burning, and scatter the fire beyond the altar: so they are halowed,

38 The censers, I say, of these sinners, that destroyed themSELVES: and let them make of them broude plates for a covering of the altar: so they offred them before the Lord, therefoze they halbe holy, and they halbe a signe vnto the children of Israel.

39 Then Cleazar the Priest tooke the Maske censers, which they, that were burnt, had offred, and made broude plates of them for a covering of the Altar.

40 It is a remembrance vnto the children of Israel, that no stranger which is not of the seede of Aaron, come neere to offer incense before the Lord, that he be not like a Kozah and his company, as the Lord said to him by the hand of Moles.

41 But on the mo:we all the multitude of the children of Israel murnured against Moles and against Aaron, saying, We have killed the people of the Lord.

42 And when the Congregation was gathe red against Moles and against Aaron, the they "turned their faces towarde the Tabernacle of the Congregation: and behold, the cloude couered it, and the glory of the Lord appeared.

43 Then Moles and Aaron were come before the Tabernacle of the Congregation.

44 And the Lord spake vnto Moles, saying,

45 Get you vp from among this Congregation: so I wil confume them quickly: then they fell upon their faces.

46 And Moles faide vnto Aaron, Take the cense and put fire therein of the Altar, as put therein incense, and go quickly vnto the Congregation, and make an atonement for them: so there is worth gone out from the Lord: the plague is begun.

47 Then Aaron tooke as Moles commended him, and ran into the mids of the Congregation, and behold, the plague was begun

among the people, as he put in incense, and made an atonement for the people.

48 And when he stooke betweene the dead, and them that were aline, the plague was stayed.

49 So thei died of this plague fourtene thousand and seuen hundred, beſide them that dyed in the conspiracie of Kozah.

50 And Aaron went againe vnto Moles before the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and the plague was stayed.

2 The twelve rods of the twelve princes of the tribes of Israel.
8 Aarons rod buildeth, and beareth blossoms, 10 For a teflonie against the rebellious people.

A And the Lord spake vnto Moles, saying,

a While he was in the door of the Tabernacle,

Speake vnto the children of Israel, and take of every one of them a rod, after his house of their fathers, of all their princes according to the familie of their fathers, even twelve rods: and thouhalt write every mans name upon his rod.

And write Aarons name vpon the rod of Levi: so every rod shall be for the head of the house of their fathers.

And thouhalt put them in the Tabernacle of the Congregation, before the Arke of the Testimonie, * where I will declare my selfe to you.

Exod. 25:23.

And the mans rod, whoome I chuse, shall be blossomed: and I will make ceale from mee grudgings of my children of Israel, which grudge against you.

b To be the chiefe Priest.

1 Then Moles spake vnto the children of Israel, as all their Princes gave him a rod, one rod for every Prince, according to the houses of their fathers, even twelve rods, as the rod of Aaron was among their rods.

And Moles laid the rods before the Lord in the Tabernacle of the Testimonie.

c Though Japheth be two deuoden nua two in the distributing of the land, per hcre it is but one, and then make it a tribe. d To declare that God did choose a house of Leut to serve him in the Tabernacle.

And when Moles on the morow went into the Tabernacle of the Testimonie, behold, the rodde of Aaron as the house of Leut was budded, and brought forth buddes, and brought forth blossoms, and bare trpe almondes.

9 Then Moles brought out al the rods from before the Lord vnto all the children of Israel: and they looked vpon them, and tooke every man his rod.

10 Calker, & Lord said vnto Moles, * Bring Aarons rod againe before the Testimonie to be kept for a token to the rebellious children, and thouhalt cause their murmurings to cease from me, that they die not.

Heb. 9:4.

e Grudging that he should be his Pfeil.

11 So Moles did as the Lord had commanded him: so did he.

12 And the children of Israel spake vnto Moles, saying, Beholde, we are dead, we perſh, we are all loſt:

13 Whosoever commeth neere, or approacheth to the Tabernacle of the Lord, that dye: that we be confumed and dye?

The Chaldeans were therefore thus liser, murnuring: We die by the land: the earth flounders, as he by the preſtence borg, contume us.

came into Balaam, and told him the words of Balak.

8. Who answered the, Tary here this night, and I will give you an answer, as the Lo'de shall say into me. So the princes of Mo'ab abode with Balaam.

9. Then God came into Balaam, and layde, what men are these with thee?

10. And Balaam layde into God, Balak the sonne of Zippo', king of Mo'ab hath sent into me, saying,

11. Beholde, there is a people come out of Egypt and covereth the face of the earth: come now, curse them for my sake: so it may be that I shall be able to overcome them in battle, and to drive them out.

12. And God said into Balaam, Go not thou with them, neither curse the people, for they are blessed.

13. And Balaam rose up in the morning, and layde into the princes of Balak, Returne into your land: for the Lord hath refuted thee, give me leaue to go with you.

14. So the princes of Mo'ab rose up, and went into Balak, and said, Balaam hath refuted to come with vs.

15. Balak yet sent againe moe princes, and more honourable then they.

16. Who came to Balaam, and layde to him, Thus saith Balak the sonne of Zippo', Be not thou stay'd, I pray thee, from coming into me.

17. For I will promote thee into great honor, and will do whatsoeuer thou layest into mee: come therefore, I pray thee, curse me this people.

18. And Balaam answered, and said into the seruants of Balak, * If Balak would give me his house full of silver and golde, I can not go beyond the word of the Lo'de my God, to do leſſe or more.

19. But now, I pray you, tarp here this night, that I may wit, what the Lord will say unto me: more.

20. And God came into Balaam by night, and said into him, If the men come to cal thee, rise up, and go with them: but only what thing I lay into thee, that shall thou do.

21. So Balaam rose up early, and adled his asse, and went with the princes of Mo'ab.

22. And the worth of God was kindled, because he went: and the Angel of the Lo'd stoo'd in the waye to be against him, as he rode upon his asse, and his two seruantaes were with him.

23. And when the asse gave the Angel of the Lo'd stand in the way, and his word stoo'd in his hande, the asse turned out of the way and went into the field, but Balaam smote the asse, to turne her into the way.

24. ¹ Againe the Angel of the Lo'd stoo'd in a path of the vineyardes, hauing a wall on the one side, and a wall on the other.

25. And when the asse gave the Angel of the Lord, she thrust her selfe into the wall, and daſt Balaams stoo'd againſt the wall:

wherefore he smote her againe.

26. The Angel of the Lord went further, and stoo'd in a narrow place, where was no way to turne, either to the right hand, or to the left.

27. And when the asse gave the Angel of the Lord, she lay downe under Balaam: therefore Balaam was very wroth, and smote the asse with a staffe.

28. Then the Lord opened the mouth of the asse, and he said into Balaam, What have I done into thee, that thou hast smitten me nowe three times?

29. And Balaam saide into the asse, Because thou hast mocked me: I would there were a word in mine hande, for nowe would I kill thee.

30. And the asse said into Balaam, Am not I thine asse, which thou hast ridden vp? since thy first time into this day? haue I fed at any time to do thus into thee? who layde, May.

31. And the Lord opened the eyes of Balaam, and he saw the Angel of the Lord standing in the way with his word stoo'd in his hande: then he bowed him ſelſe, and ſel flat on his face.

32. And the Angel of the Lo'de said into him, Wherefore hast thou now smitten thine asse three times? beholde, I came out to withstand thee, because thy way is not straight before mee.

33. But the asse gave me, and turned fro mee now three times: for els, if thee had not turned fro me, surely I had eu'en nowe stayne thee, and ſaued her alive.

34. Then Balaam layd into the Angel of the Lo'de, I haue finned: for I will not that thou stoo'dst in the way "againſt me: nowe therefore if it please thee, I will turne home againe.

35. But the Angel said into Balaam, Go with the men: but what I lay into thee, that shall thou heape. So Balaam went with the princes of Balak.

36. And when Balak heard that Balaam came, he went out to meete him into a citie of Mo'ab, which is in the border of Arnon, eu'en in the vtmoſt coast.

37. The Balaak said into Balaam, Did I not kend for thee to call thee? wherefore camest thou not into me? am I not able in deed to promote thee into honour?

38. And Balaam made anſwer into Balak, Lo I am come into thee, and I now lay any thing at all? the stoo'd that God putſt in my mouth, that shall I heape.

39. So Balaam went with Balak, and they came into the citie of Huzoth.

40. Then Balak offred bullocks, and steepe, and sent thereof to Balaam, to the princes that were with him.

41. And on the mo'ow Balak tooke Balaam, and brought him vp into the he places of Baal, that thence he might see the vtmoſt part of the people.

1 Then Moſes ſpake unto the children of Israel according to all that the Lord had commanded † him,

2 Moſes also ſpake unto the heads of the tribes a concerning the children of Israel, ſaying, This is the thing which the Loide hath commanded,

3 Whohoeuer boweth a bow into the Lord, or weareth an othe to binde him † selfe by a bonde, he shall not † heake his nommes, but that do according to all that proceedeth out of his mouth.

4 If a woman also bow a bow into § Lord, and binde her ſelbe by a bonde, beying in her fathers house, in the time of her youth,

5 And her father heare her bowe and bonde, wherwith he hath bound her ſelke, a her father hold his peace concerning her, then al her bowes hal stand, a euery bond, where with the hath bound her ſelke, shall stand.

6 But if her father diſalo w her the ſame day that he heareth all her bowes and bondes, wherwith the hath bound her ſelke, they shall not be of value, a the Lord will ſoſgiue her, because her father diſalowed her.

7 And if she haue an husband when she boweth or d pronounceth ought with her lippes, where with she bindeth her ſelke,

8 If her husband heard it, and holdeth his peace concerning her, the ſame day he heareth it, then her bowe shall stande, and her bonds where with she bindeth her ſelke shall stand in effect.

9 But if her husband diſalo w her the ſame day that he heareth it, then that he make her bowe which he hath made, a that that he hath pronounced with her lips, where with the bounde her c ſelke, of none effect: and the Lord will ſoſgiue her.

10 But euery bowe of a widow, a of her that is diuoced (where with the hath bound her

ſelke) hal stand in e effect with her.

11 And if the bowed in her husbandes s house, or bound her ſelke streighty with an othe,

12 And her husband hath heard it, and heſel his peace concerning her, not diſalowing her, then al her bowes hal stand, and euery bond, where with the bounde her ſelke, shall stand in effect.

13 But if her husband diſanulled them, the same day that he heard them, nothing that proceeded out of her lippes concerning her bowes or concerning her bonds, hal stand in effect : for her husband hath diſanulled them; and the Lord will ſoſgiue her.

14. So euery bowe, and euery othe or bonde, made to h humble the ſoule, her hufbad may stably it, or her hufband may heake it.

15. But if her husband holde his peace concerning her fro 1 day to day, then he stablyeth all her bowes and all her bondes which the hath made: he hath eſtirmed them because he holde his peace concerning her the ſame day that he heard them.

16. But if he † heake them after that he hath heard the, then that he beare her iniquitie.

52 He shall then dzive out all the inhabitants of the lande before you, and destroy al their pictures, and breake alunder al their images of metall, and plucke downe all their he places.

53 And ye shall posſelle the lande and dwell therein: for I haue giuen you the lande to posſelle it.

54 And ye shall inberite the land by lot according to your families: * to the more ye shall giue more inheritance, and to the fewer the leſſe inheritance. where the lot shall fail to any man, that ſhal be his: according to the tribes of your fathers ſhall ye inberite.

55 But if ye wil not dzive out the inhabitants of the land before you, then thole which ye let remaine of them, ſhal be * pricks in your eyes, and thornes in your ſides, and ſhall bere you in the land wherein ye dwell.

THE ARGVMENT.

T
HE wonderful loue of God toward his Church is likely let forth in this booke. For albeit through their ingratitude and fundrie re-
bellions against God, for the Ipace of fourtie yeres, Deut 9.7, they had deferred to have bene cut off from the number of his people
and for euer to have bene deprived of the vle of his holie word, and lactaments; yet he did euer preferue his Church euen for his owne
meries (ake, and would fit haue his Name called vpon among them. Wherefore he bringeth them into the land of Canaan, defforteth
their enemies, guie them their country, townes and goods, & exhorteth them by the example of their fathers (whoe infidelitie, do-
larie, adulterie, murmurings and rebellion, he had moft (harply punifhed) to feare & obey the Lord, to embrace & keep his Law without
adding thereunto or diminishing therefrom. For by his word he would be known to be their God, and they his people: by his word he
would gouerne his Church, and by the fame they should leane to obey him: by his word he would diercene the fale Prophet from the
true, light from darkenes, ignorance from knowledge, and his owne people from all other nations and infidels: teaching them thereby to
refuse and deteft, deftroy and abilifh whatfoeuer is not agreeable to his holy wil, ſeeme it otherwise neuer so good or precious in the
eyes of man. And for this caufe God promised to raife vp Kings and gournourns, for the ſetting forth of this word and preferuon of his
Church: giuing vnto them an epeciall charge for the executing thereof: whomefore he willeth to exercethei molles diligently
in the continuall ſtudie and meditation of the fame: that they might leane to ſeaue the Lord, loue their ſubjeets, abhorre conterouines
and vice, and whatfoeuer offendeth the maſſieſt of God. And as he had toſore intrusted their fathers in all things, appertaining, both
to his ſpirituall ſeruice, and alſo for the maintenance of that ſoſicetic which is betweene men: ſo he preſeribeth here anewe, al ſuch lawes
and ordinances, which either concerne his diuine ſeruice, or eſſe are neceſſarie for a common weale: appointing vnto every eſtate and
degree their charge and duetic: aſſelw, how to rule and lue in the ſeaue of God, as to nourish ſendipship toward their neighbours, and to
preferue that order which God haſt eſtabliſhed among men: threatening withall, moſt horſome plagues to them that tranſgreſſe his com-
mandements, and promiſing all bleſſings and ſelicitie to such as obſerue and obey them.

Hele be ſ words which
Moles ipake vnto all
Israel, on a ſide
Jorden in the wilder-
nes, in the plaine, ouer
agaynſt the red Sea,
betweene Baran and
Tophel, and Laban,
and Hazeroth, and Di-ḥaḥ.

There are eleuen daies journey from e Ho-
reb vnto Kadeſh-barnea, by the way of
mount Seit.

And it came to palle in the first day of the eleuenth moneth, in the fourtieth yere, that Moſes ipake vnto the children of Israel ac-
cording vnto all that the Lord had giuen him in commandement vnto them,

After that he had ſlaime d * Sihon * King
of the Amoſites which dwelt in Hehbon,
and Og King of Baſhan, which dwelt at
Aṣhtaroth in Edre.

In this ſide Jorſen in the land of Moab
began Moſes to declare this law, ſaying,

The Lord our God ipake vnto vs in Ho-
reb, ſaying, He haue dwelt long ynough in
this mount,

Turne you and depart, and go vnto the
mountaine of the Amoſites, and vnto all
places neere thereunto : in the plaine, in the
mountaine, or in the valley : both South-
ward, and to the Sea lide, to the lande of
the Canaanites, and vnto Lebanon: euen
vnto the great riuer, the riuer *Perath*.

Beholde, I haue let the lande before you:
go in and * poſſelle that lande which the
Lord cware vnto your fathers, AbiAhaim,
Izhak, and Jaakob, to giue vnto them and
to their ſeede after them.

And I ipake vnto you the fame time,
laying, I am not able to beare you my ſelke
alone:

The Lord your God hath multiplied you,

11

(The Lord God of your fathers make you
a thouſand times ſo manie mo as ye are, &
bieſle you, as he hath promiſed you)

12

How can I alone beare your cumbrance
and your charge, and your strike

13

Bing you men of woldome and of under-
standing, and knowen among your tribes,
and I will make them rulers ouer you;

14

Then ye anwered me as Iaid, The tying is
good that thou haſt commanded vs to do.

15

So I tooke the chieſe of your tribes 1 wife
and knowen men, and made them rulers
ouer you, captaines ouer thouſandes, and
captaines ouer hundreds, and captaines o-
uct ſiſtie, and captaines ouer ten, and offi-
cers among your tribes.

16

And I charged your iudges ſame time,
laying, Heare the controuleries betweene
your biethien, and * iudge righ teoufly be-
tweene euery man and his brother, and the
stranger that is with him.

17

De that haue no respect of person in iudg-
ment, * but that haere the small atwell as

for the iudgement is m Gods: and the cause
that is to hard for you, bring vnto me, and
I will heare it.

18

Also I commanded you the fame time all
the things which ye should do.

Then we Departed from Dozeb, went

35. *Surely there shall not one of these men of this frowarde generation, be that good lande, which I sware to give unto your fathers,*

40. But as for you, turne back, and take your journey into the wildernes by the way of the red Sea.

41. Then ye answered and said unto me, We have finned against the Lord, * we will go bp, and fight, according to all that the Lord our God hath commanded vs: and ye armed you every man to the warre, and were readie to go bp into the mountaine.

42. But þ Lord said unto me, Sap unto them, Go not bp, neither fight, (for: I am not a- mong you) left ye fall before your enemies.

43. And when I told you, ye would not heare but rebelled against the commandement of the Lord, and were presumptuous, & went bp into the mountaine.

44. Then the Amorites which dwelt in that mountaine came out against you, and cha- sed you (as bees wse to do) and destroyed you in Seir, even unto Hormah.

45. And when ye came againe, ye wept before the Lord, but the Lord would not * hea- te your booyce, nor incline his eares unto you.*

And the Lord spake unto me, saying,

3. He have compassed this mountaine long enough: turne you Northward.

4. And warne thou the people, saying, I shall go through the c coast of your children the children of Efau, which dwell in Seir, and they shall be afraid of you: take ye good heede therefore.

5. He shall not prouoke them: for I will not give you of their lande so much as a foote breadth,* because I have giuen moit Seir unto Efau for a posſession.*

6. He shall by meat of them for money to eat, and ye shall also procure water of them for money to drinke.

7. For the Lord thy God hath d bleffed thee in all the works of thine hande: he knoweth thy walking through this great wildernes, and the Lord thy God hath bene with thee this fourtie pere, and thou hast lacked nothing.

14 The space also wherein we came from Kadesh-barnea, until we were come ouer the river Zered, was eight thirtie yeres, until al the generation of the men of warre were wasted out from among the hofte, as the Lord dware unto them.

I his plague a nillitant to delbrote all that were twentye pere olles and as bous,

15 For in deede the h hand of the Lord was against them, to delbrot them from among the hofte, til they were consumed.

16 So when al the men of warre were consumed and dead from among the people:

17 Then the Lord lpike vnto me, laying,

18 Thou shalt goe tholough At the coast of Moab this dap:

19 And thou shalt come neere ouer against children of Ammon: but shalt not lay slege into them, no: moue warre against them: for I will not give thee of the lande of the children of Ammon anie posseffion: for I haue giuen it vnto the children of Lot for a posseffion.

I who called them lehirs lehachs: that is, prierers, or prierles to heale and reinfoine hiches: but there were in deede Ammonitzims, that is, wicned and abominable.

20 That also was taken for a land of gyants: for gyants dwelt therein afoietime, whom the Ammonites called Zamzummins:

21 A people that was great, and manie, and tall, as the Anakims: but Lord destroyed them before them, as they succeeded them in their inheritance, and dwelt in their stead:

22 As he did to the children of Elau which dwell in Seir, when he destroyed the Homs before them, and they posseffed them, and dwelt in their stead vnto this day.

23 And the Auims which dwelt in Hasazarin even vnto Azzah, the Captozims which came out of Captoz, destroyed them, and dwelt in their steade.

Qn.21.22.

24 L'rice bp therefore, laid the Lord: take your journey, and palle ouer the river Arnon: beholde, I haue given into thy hand Sihon, the Amorite King of Heshbon, as his lande: begin to posseff it and prouoke him to battell.

29 As the children of Elau which dwel in Seir, as the Moabites which dwell in Ar, did vnto me) until I be come ouer Jorden, into the lande which the Lord our God giveth vs.

30 But Sihon king of Heshbon would not let vs palle by him: for the Lord thy God had hardened his spirit, as made his heart obſtinate, because he would deliuer him into thine hand, as appeareth this dap.

31 And the Lord faide vnto me, Beholde, I haue begonne to give Sihon and his lande before thee: begin to posseffle and inhere it his land.

32 * Then came out Sihon to meete vs, him selfe with all his people to fight at Jahaz.

33 But the Lord our God deliuered him into our power, and we smote him, as his sonnes, and all his people.

34 And we tooke all his cities the fame time, and destroyed every citie, men, and women, and children: we let nothing remaine.

35 Onely the cattel we tooke to our felues, for the spyle of the cities which we tooke,

36 From Aroer, which is by the banke of the river of Arnon, from the citie that is vpon the river, even vnto Gilead: there was not one citie that ecapted vs: for the Lord our God deliuered vp all before vs.

1 Then we turned, and went bp by the way of Bahan: and Og king of Bahan came out against vs, he, and all his people to fight at Edrei.

And the Lord faide vnto me, I keare him not, for I wil deliuer him, and al his people, and his land into thine hand, and thou shalt do vnto him as thou didst vnto Sihon king of the Amorites, which dwelt at Heshbon.

So the Lord our God deliuered also vnto our hand, * Og the king of Bahan, and al his people: and we smote him, vntil none was left him aluei,

10 Forget not the day that thou skoodest before the Lord thy God in Hozeb, when the Lord said unto me, Gather me the people together, and I will cause them heare my words, that they may learne to feare me all the daies that they shall line upon the earth, and that they may teach their children :

11 Then came you neere and * skoope under the mountaine, and the mountaine * burnt with fire unto the middles of heauen, and there was darkenes, cloudes and mist.

12 And the Lord spake unto you out of the middes of the fire, and ye heard the booye of the wordes, but sawe no similitude, saue a booye.

13 Then he declared unto you his covenant which he commanded you to k do, euen the ten commandements, a wote them upon two tables of stone.

14 And the Lord commanded me that fame time, that I should teach you ordinances a lawes, which ye should obserue in the land, whither ye go, to possele it.

15 Take therefore good heede unto your * selues : for ye sawe no ¹ image in the dave that the Lord spake unto you in Hozeb out of the middes of the fire :

16 That ye corrupt not your selues, and make you a grauen image or representation of a any figure ; whether it be the likenes of male or female,

17 The likenes of any beaſt that is on earth, or the likenes of any kethered foule that electh in the aire :

18 Or the likenes of any thing that creepeth on the earth, or the likenes of any filth that is in the waters beneath the earth,

19 And left thou lift vp thine eyes unto heauen, and when thou seest the funne and the moone and the starres with all the hoſte of heauen, shouldſt thou diuine to worſhip the and serve them, which the Lord thy God hath m distributed to all people under the whole heauen.

20 But the Lord hath taken you and brought you out of the n pion fornace : out of Egypt to be into him a people and inheritance, as appeareth this day.

21 And p Lord was angrie with me for your words, and I wware that I should not go ouer Jorden, and that I should not go in into that good land, which the Lord thy God giuen thee for an inheritance.

22 For I must die in this land, and shall not go ouer Jorden : but o ye shall go ouer, and posſelle that good land.

23 Take heede unto your selues, left ye forget the covenant of the Lord your God which he made with you, and leaſt ye make you anie grauen image, or likenes of any thing, as the Lord thy God hath charged thee.

24 For the Lord thy God is a columning fire, and a белous God.

25 When thou shall beget children a childeens children, a hali haue remained long in h land, if ye * corrupt your selues, a make

any grauen image, or likenes of any thing, and wouke euil in the fight of the Lord thy God, to prouoke him to anger,

26 I cal heauen and earth to record againſt you this day, that ye shall shortly perish from the land, whereunto ye go ouer Jorden to posſelle it : ye shall not pialong your daipes therein, but shall better be destroyed.

27 And the Lord shall * scatter you among the people, and ye shall be left fewe in nomber among the nations, whither the Lord shall bring you :

28 And there ye shall serve gods, euen p wouke of man's hand, wood, and stone, which neither fee nor heare, no: eat, no: smell.

29 But if from thence thou shall feeke the Lord thy God, thou shall finde him, if thou feeke him with all thine heart, and with al thy soule.

30 When thou art in tribulation, and all these things are come vpon thee, ¹ at the length, if thou returne to the Lord thy God, and be obedient into his boye,

31 (For the Lord thy God is a merciful God) he will not forſake thee, neither destroy thee, no: forget p covenant of thy fathers, which he w are into them.

32 For inquire now of the daies that are palt, which were before thee, (since the day that God created man vpon the earth, and x aske from the one end of heauen vnto the other, if there came to palle ſuch a great thing as this, or whether any ſuch like thing hath bene heard.

33 Did euery people heare the booye of God speaking out of the middes of a fire, as thou haſt heard, and liued ?

35 Unto thee it was ſhewed, that thou mightest knowe, that the Lord he is God, and that there is none but he alone.

36 Out of heauen he made thee heare his boye to inſtruct thee, and vpon earth he ſhewed thee his great fire, a thou heardest his boye out of the middes of the fire.

39 Understand therefore this day, and consider in thine heart, that the Lord, he is God in heauen aboue, and vpon the earth beaneath : there is none other.

5 Which is, to loue him with all thine heart. 7 The fame must be
taught to the poiteritie. 16 Not to tempt God, 25 Nightrounesse
is concerned in the lawe.

T hese now are the commandements,
ordinances, and lawes, which the
Lord your God commaunded me to
teach you, that ye might do them in the land
whither ye go to postle it:

That thou mightest a feare the Lord thy God, and keepe all his ordinances, and his commandemts which I commande thee, thou, and thy Sonne, and thy Sonnes Sonne all the dayes of thy life, euen that thy dates may be prolonged.

Heare therefore, O Israel, and take heede
to do it, that it may go well with thee, and
that ye may increale mightily b in the lande
that floweth with milke and honie, as the
Lord God of thy fathers hath promised
thee.

4 Heare, O Israel, The Lord our God is
Lord onely,

5 And * thou Chalt loue the Lord thy God
with all thine heart, and with all thy soule,
and withall thy might.

6 * And these wordes which I commande
thee this day, chalbe in thine heart.

7 And thou Chalt c rehearse them continually
unto thy children, and Chalt talke of them
when thou tariest in thine house, as thou
walkest by the way, and when thou liest
do bene, and when thou ruldest by :

8 And thou Chalt binde them for a signe bp-

on thine hand, and thy Chalbe "as frontlets
betwene thine eyes.

9 Also thou Chalt write them upon d possest
of thine house, and bont thy gates.

10 And when the Lord thy God hath brought
thce into the lande, which he fware into
thy fathers, Abraham, Ishak, and Jaakob,
to giue to thee, with great and goodly ci-
ties which thou buildedst not,

11 And houles ful of al maner of goods which
thou filledst not, and welles digged which
thou diggedst not, vineardes and olive
trees which thou plantedst not, and when
thou haft eaten and art full,

12 Beware left thou forget the Lord, which
brought thee out of the land of Egypt, from
the house of bondage.

13 Thou Chalt keare the Lord thy God, a fter
him, and Chalt fware by his Name.

14 We shall not walke after other gods, after
any of the goddes of the people which are
bound about you,

15 (For the Lord thy God is a telious God a-
mong you: left the wath of the Lord thy
God be kindled against thee, and destroye
thee from the face of the earth.)

16 We chal not tempt the Lord your God,
as ye did tempt him in Massa:

17 But ye shall keepe diligently the command-
ments of the Lord your God, and his
testimonies, and his ordinances which he
hath commanded thee,

18 And thou Chalt do that which is right and
good in the h light of the Lord : that thou
maiest polder, and that thou maest go in,
and postle that good land which the Lord
fware into thy fathers,

19 To cast out all thine enemies before thee,
as the Lord hath laid.

20 When i thy Sonne shall alke thee in time to
come, laying, what meane thete testimo-
nies, and ordinances, and lawes, which the
Lord our God hath commanded you?

21 Then thou Chalt fay into thy Sonne, we
were Pharaons bondemen in Egypt: but
the Lord brought vs out of Egypt with a
mightie hand.

22 And the Lord chewed lignes a wonders
great a euil upon Egypt, upon Pharaoh, &
byon all his housholde, before our eyes,

23 And k brought vs out from thence, to bring
vs in, to giue vs the land which he fware
unto our fathers.

24 Therefore the Lord hath commanded vs,
to do all these ordinances, and to keare the
Lord our God, d it may go euer well with
vs, and that he may preserve vs alive as at

12 Furthermore, the Lord spake unto me, saying, I haue keene this people, and behold, it is a stifnecked people.

2. Signifying that the place of the Lord's house is not a barre to God, amaze, that he be cosure not all.

13 Furthermore, the Lord spake unto me, saying, I haue keene this people, and behold, it is a stifnecked people.

14 Let me alone, that I may destroy them, a put out their name from under heauen, a I will make of thee a mightie nation, a greater then they be.

15 So I returned, and came down from the Mount (and the Mount burnt with fire, and the two Tables of the couenaunt were in my two hands)

k Chat is, fro þa Law, when he beareth that which is the cause of our perdition.

16 Then I looked, and behold, ye had funned against þe Loode your God: for ye had made you a molten calfe, and had turned quickly out of the way which the Loode had commanded you.

17 Therefore I tooke the two Tables, a cast them out of my two hands, and brake them before your eyes.

18 And I fell downe before the Lord, fourtie dayes, and fourtie nights, as before: I neither ate bread nor dranke water, because of all your sinnes, which ye had committed, in doing wickedly in the light of the Loode, in that ye prouoked him unto wrath.

19 (For I was afraid of the wrath a indignation, wherwith the Lord was moved a gainst you, cue to destroy you yet the Lord heard me at that time also.)

1 Whereby he sturtheth what hek they are in, that he have authority, and reft not wicnes,

20 Likewise the Lord was very angrie with Aarob, even to destroy him: but at that time I prayed also for Aaron.

21 And I tooke your linnne, I meane the calfe which ye had made, and burnt him with fire, and stamped him a ground him small, even unto derv dust: and I cast the dust thereof into the river, that descended out of the mount.

24 Ne haue bene rebellious unto the Loode, since the day that I knew you.

o Whereby is signified that God requireth authority and commandement ances in prier.

25 Then I keel downe before the Lord o fourtie dayes a fourtie nightes, as I keel downe before, because the Loode had sayd, that he would destroy you.

26 And I prayed unto the Lord, and sayd. O Loode God, destrop not thy people a thine inheritance, which þaft redeemed through thy greatnes, whom thou haft brought out of Egypt by a mightie hand.

2 And I will write vpon the Tables the words that were vpon the first Tables, which thou brakest, a thou halt put them in the Arke.

3 And I made an Arke of a Shittim wood, a hewed two Tables of stone like vnto the first, and went vp into the Mountaine, and the two Tables in mine hand.

a Which woods is of long conservation,

4 Then he wrote vpon the Tables according to the first writing (the ten commandments, which the Loode spake unto you in the Mount out of the middes of the fire, in the day of the a assembly) a the Loode gave them vnto me.

b Then pon were almenbled to receive the lawes,

5 And I departed, a came downe from the Mount, a put the Tables in the Arke which I had made: and there they be, as the Lord commanded me.

6 And the children of Israel tooke their journey from Beeroth of the children of Jaakar to Molera, where Aaron dyed, a was buried, and Cleazar his Sonne became Brief in his steade.

a This remeintre was also called Yoh, a out, 20, 28.

7 From thence they departed unto Eudogah, and from Eudogah to Jotbath a land of running waters.

8 The same tyne the Loode separated the tribe of Levi to beare the Arke of the couenaunt of the Lord, and to stande before the Loode, to d minister vnto him, and to bleſſe in his Name vnto this day.

9 Wherefore Levi hath no part nor inheritance with his children: for the Lord is his c inheritance, as the Loode thy God hath promised him.

d That is, to offer sacrifices and to berelare the Law to the people.

10 And I taryed in the mount, as at the first time, fourtie dayes and fourtie nights, and the Loode heard me at that time also, & the Lord would not destroy thee.

e So God taryed d curie of Jaakob, Gen. 27. Unto ture the day.

11 But the Lord layd vnto me, A rile, go forth in the journey before the people, that they may go in a posſesse þe lande, which I ware vnto their fathers to giue vnto them.

12 And now, Israel, what doth þe Lord thy God require of thee, but to keare the Lord thy God, to walke in all his wayes, and to loue him, a to serve the Lord thy God with all tyne heart, and with all thy loue?

f For all our times a transgressions God requireth no living but to turne to him, to be his.

Thou *halt eat no leauened bread with it;

1

Thou shall offer unto the Lord thy God no bullock nor sheepe wherin it is *blessed* or any euil fauored thing: for that is an abomination unto the Lord thy God.

2

If there be found among you in any of the cities, which the Lord thy God gnueth thee, man or woman that hath wrought wickednes in the sight of the Lord thy God, in transgressing his commandment,

3

And hath gone and served other gods, and two shipped them: as the sunne, or the moonne, or any of the hoste of heaven, which I have not commanded,

4

And it be tolde unto thee, a thou hast heard it, then thall thou inquire diligently: and if it be true, and the thing certain, that such abomination is wrought in Israel,

5

Then thall thou bring forth that man, or that woman (which haue committed that wicked thing) unto the gates, whether it be man or woman, and thall stone them with stones, till they dye.

* At the mouth of two three witnesses shall he be stoned upon him, to kill him: afterward the hads of all the people: so thou shall take the witness away from among you.

7

The hands of the witnesses shall be first upon him, to kill him: afterward the hads of all the people: so thou shall take the witness away from among you.

If there rise a matter to hard for thee in judgement betweene blood and blood, betweene plea and plea, betweene plague and plague, in the matters of controulerie within thy gates, then shall thou arise, a go by unto the place which the Lord thy God shall chuse,

9

And thou shall come unto the Priests of the Levites, a unto the Judge thatHALF in those dapes, and aske, and they shall show thee the sentence of judgement,

10

And thou shall do according to that thing which they of that place (which the Lord hath chosen) thewe thee, and thou shall observe to do according to all that they informe thee.

11

According to the Lawe, which they shall teach thee, and according to the judgement

which they shall tell thee, shall be thou doe: thou shall not decline from the thing which they shall showe thee, neyther to the right hand, nor to the left.

12 And that man that will do preeminently, not hearkening unto the Priest ( that standeth before the Lord thy God to minister there) unto the judge, that man shall dye, and thou shall take away euil from Israel.

13 So all the people shall heare and keare, and do no more preeminently.

14 When thou shall come unto the lande which the Lord thy God gnueth thee, and shall possele it, a dwell therein, if thou say, I will set a King ouer me, like as all the nations that are about me,

15 Then thou shall make him King ouer thee, whome the Lord thy God shall choose: from among the brethren, that thou make a king ouer thee: thou shall not let a stranger ouer thee, which is not the brother.

16 In any wife he shall not prepare him many hoses, nor bring the people agapne to Egypt, for to encircle the number of hozes, seeing the Lord hath said unto you, He shall henceforth go no more againe that way.

17 Neither shall he take him many wines, left his heart turne away, neither shall he gather him much filuer and gold.

18 And when he shall lie vpon the throne of his kingdome, then shall he write him this Lawe repeated in a booke, by the Priests of the Levites.

19 And it shall be with him, and he shall reade therein all dayes of his lyfe, that he may learne to feare the Lord his God, & to keep all the wordes of this Law, and these commandances, for to do them:

20 That his heart be not lifted vp above his brethren, and that he turne not from the commandement, to the right hand of the left, but that he may prolong his dayes in his kingdome, he, and his sonnes in the middes of Israel.

15 C * The Lord thy God will rayle vp into thee a s Prophet like vnto me, from among you, euen of thy beſtethen: vnto him ye shall hearken,

16 According to all that thou deſerred of the Lorde thy God in Horch, in the dape of the allemblie, wher thou faideſt, * Let me heare the boſce of my Lord God no more, nor ſee this great fire any more, that I dye not.

17 And the Lorde deſayde vnto me, They haue well ſpoken.

18 I will raſe them vp a Prophet fro among their beſtethen like vnto thee, & will put my words in his h1 mouth, & he shall ſpeake vnto them all that I shall command him.

19 And whoſoneuer will not hearken vnto my words, which he shall ſpeake in my Name, I will i require it of him.

20 But the Diſpheſte that shall preſume to ſpeake a word in my Name, which I haue not commaſed him to ſpeake, or that ſpeake in the name of other gods, euen 1 same prophet shall dye.

21 And if thou thinke in thine heart, Howe ſhall we know the word which the Lorde hath not ſpoken?

22 When a prophet ſpeaketh in the Name of the Lord, if the thing k follow not noſt come to pafſe, that is the thing which the Lorde hath not poken , but the prophet hath poken it preſumptuously: thou shall not therefore be akroyd of him.

9 So shall thou take away the cry of innocent blood from thee, when thou shall doe that which is right in the sight of the Lord.

10 And he thou shall go to war against thine enemies, and the Lord thy God shall deliver them into thine hands, and thou shall take them captives,

14 And if thou haue no fauour vnto her, then thou mayest let her go whither she will, but thou haſt not sell her for money, no make merchandise of her, because thou haſt humbled her.

her a bill of diuorcement, and put it in her

And if the latter hufband hate her, & write
her a letter of diuorcement, & put it in her

latter man die which tooke her to wife :

not go a warſare, c nepther halbe charged
with any businesſe, but halbe free at home

he hath taken.

6 No man shall take the nether nor the

7 If any man be found stealing any of his
brethren of the children of Israel, and ma-
keth marchadile of him, or lelleth him, that
thieſe shall dpe: so hali thou put euill away
from among you.

8 Take heede of the * plague of lepſie,

13 But hali reſtore him the pledge when the

14 Thou hali not oppiſe an hired seruant

15 * Thou hali giue him his hire for his day,
neither hali the ſunne go downe upon it: for
he is pooe, and therwith ſuſteineth his life:
least he cry against thee vnto the Lord, and
it be ſinne vnto thee.

16 * The fathers shall not be put to death

to do this thing.

19 When thou cuttest downe thine har-

1 These are the words of the covenant which the Lord commanded Moses to make with the children of Israel in the land of Moab before the covenant which he had made with them in b Dora.

2 And Moses called all Israel, and said unto them, He have seen all that the Lord did before your eyes in the land of Egypt into Pharaoh and into all his servants, and into all his land.

3 The great tentations which thine eyes have seen, the great miracles that thou seest: Bet that the Lord hath not given you an heart to perceive, and eyes to see, and cares to hear, into this day.

4 And I have led you forth into the millstones: your clothes are not waned o'er upon you, neither is thy shoe waned o'er upon thy foot.

5 Be have eaten no bread, neither drink, wine, nor strong drink, that ye might know how that I am the Lord your God.

6 After ye came into this place, and Sihon King of Heliopolis, and Og King of Babel, came out against us into battle, and we fleowed them.

7 And took their land, and gave it for an inheritance into the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, to theHALFTRIETH OF MANAFFEL.

8
9 Keepc therefore the words of this covenant and do them, that ye may prosper in all that ye shall do.

10 We stand this day every one of you before the Lord your God: your heads of your tribes, your Elders and your officers, even all the men of Israel:

11 Your children, your wives, and thy STRANGER that is in thy campe from the hewer of thy wood, into the drawer of thy water,

12 That thou shouldest pass into the covenant of the Lord thy God, and into his other which the Lord thy God maketh with thee this day,

13 For to establish thee this day a people into him selfe, and that he may be into thee a God, as he hath said into thee, and as he hath shewed unto thy fathers, Abraham, Ishak, and Jaakob.

14 Neither make I this covenant, and this other with you only,

15 But if we him that standeth here with us this day before the Lord our God, as with him b that is not here with us this day.

16 For we knowe, how we have dwelt in the land of Egypt, how we passed through the middles of the nations, which we passed by.

17 And we have seen their abominations & their idoles (wood, and stone, silver & gold) which were among them,

18 That there should not be among you man no woman, nor family, no tribe, which should turne his heart away this day from the Lord our God, to go & serve the gods of these nations, and that there should not be among you anie roote that bringeth forth

a gall and woe, wood,

19 So that when he heareth the words of this curse, he bleſſe him ſelſe in his heart, laying his hand have peace, although I walk according to the strewburneſse of mine owne heart, thus adding drunkeuenes to this.

20 The Lord will not be merciful unto him, but then the wath of the Lord and his teares shall in no wise be quenched against that man, and every curſe that is written in this booke, shall light upon him, and the Lord shall put out his name from under heaven.

a For so he that is chriſt, bebeate much, but he that be foleweth his apperues, fees keel by all meanes, and pet cannot beor latched.

21 And the Lord shall separate him into euen out of all the tribes of Israel, according to all the curſes of the covenant, that is written in the booke of this Lawe.

22 So that the generatiu to come, even your children, that shall viſe by after you, and the stranger, that shall come from a farre land, shall say, when they shall fee the plagues of this land, and the dileaſes thereof, where with the Lord shall smoke it:

23 (For all that lande shall burne with hrimstone and salt: it shall not be lowen, nor bring forth, nor any graſſe shall grow thereon, like as in the ouerthoing of *SDom, and Gomorah, Admah, and Zeboim, which the Lord ouerthewe in his wath & in his anger.)

24 Then shall all nations say, * Wherefore hath the Lord done thus unto this land? how fierce is this great wath?

25 And they shall answer, Because they have forſaken the covenant of the Lord God of their fathers, which he had made with them, when he brought them out of the land of Egypt,

26 And went and ſerved other gods & worſhipped them: euen gods which they knew not, and which had given them nothing,

27 Therefore the wath of the Lord waned hote against this land, to bring upon it euer curſe that is written in this booke.

28 And the Lord hath rooted the out of their land in anger, and in wath, and in great indignation, and hath cast them into another lande, as appeareth this day.

29 The secret things belong to the Lord our God, but the things reveiled belong unto us, to our children for euer, that we may do all the words of this Lawe.

CHAP. XXXIII.

1 Moles before his death bleſſeth all the tribes of Israel. 26 There is no God like to the God of Israel: 29 For any people like unto his.

N O w this is the bleſſing wherewith Moles the man of God bleſſed the children of Israel before his death, and laid,

2 The Lorde came from Sinai, and rose by from Seir vnto them, and appeared clearely from mount Paran, and he came with ten thousands of Saints, and at his right hand a firie Law for them.

3 Though hee loue the people, yet all thy faintes are in thine hands: they are humbled at thy feet, to receive thy words.

4 Moles commanded vs a Law for an inheritance of the Congregation of Jaakob.

5 Then he was among the righteous people, as King, when the heades of the people, and the tribes of Israel were assembled.

6 Let us Reuben lie, and not die, though his men be a ſmall nomber.

7 And thus he bleſſed Judah, a ſaid Heare, D. Lorde, the joyce of Judah, and bring him vnto his people: his hands halbe ſufficient for him, if thou helpe him against his enemies.

8 And of Leuie the faide, Let thy Thummin and thine Trim be with thine hollie one, whom thou didst proue in Maſah, and didst caufe him to strike at the waters of Meribah.

9 Who faide vnto his father a to his mother, h Ihaue not feene him, neither knewe he his children, nor knew his owne children: for: they obſerved thy word, and kept thy covenant.

10 They hal teach Jaakob thy judgements, and Israel thy Law: they hal put incenſe before thy face, and the burnt offering vpon thine altar.

11 Bleſſe, D. Lord, his ſubſance, and accept the worke of his hands: a finite through the lopes of them that rile against him, and of them that hate him, that they rile not againe.

12 Of Benjamin he faide, The beloved of the Lord shall dwell in safety by him: the Lord shall couer him all the day long, and dwell betwene his shoulders.

13 And of Joseph he faide, Bleſſed of the Lord is his land for the sweetneſſe of heauen, for the dewe, and for the depth lying beneath,

14 And for the sweete increase of the lume, for the sweete increase of the moone,

15 And for the sweetnes of the top of the ancient mountains, and for the sweetnes of the olde hilles,

16 And for the sweetnes of the earth, and a-bundance thereof: and the good will of him that dwelt in the bulbe, shall come vpon the heade of Joseph, and vpon the toppe of the head of him that was separated from his beſtchen.

17 His beauteit ſhalbe like his first boze bullocke, and his homes as the homes of an antibone: with them he shall ſinite the people together, euen the endes of the world: these are also the tenne thoulandes of Euphrain, a these are the thoulandes of Maasseh.

18 And of Zebulun he ſaid, Heoyce, Zebulun, in thy going out, and thou, Iſhachar, in thy tentes.

19 They hal call the people vnto the mountain: there they shall offer the sacriſces of righteouſes: for they shall ſucke of the abundance of the sea, and of the treasures hid in the land.

20 Also of Gad he ſaid, Bleſſed be he that enlargeth Gad: he dwelleth as a lion, that catcheth for his piaye the arme with the head.

21 And hee looked to him ſelſe at the beginning, becauſe there was a porcion of the Lawgiver hid: yet hee shall come with the heades of the people, to execute the inſtice of the Lord, and his judgements with Israel.

22 And of Dan he ſaid, Dan is a lions whelpe: he shall leape from Baian.

23 Also of Naphtali he ſaid, D. Naphtali, ſatified with fauour, and filled with the bleſſing of the Lord, poſſelle to the West and the South.

24 And of Asher he ſaid, Asher halbe bleſſed with children: he halbe acceptable vnto his beſtchen, and shall dippe his foote in oyle.

25 Thy hooes halbe a mon and biaſſe, and thy strength shall continue as long as thou liuſt.

26 There is none like God, O righteouſ people, which rideth vpon the heauens for thine helpe, a on the cloudes in his glory.

27 The eternall God is thy refuge, and under his armes thou art foruer: he shall caſt out the enemie before thee, and will kape, Defroy them.

28 Then Israel: the ſountaine of Jaakob, who was hal dwel alone in safety in a land of wheat, and wine: also his heauens shall drop the dewe.

29 Bleſſed art thou, O Israel: who is like unto thee, O people faued by the Lorde, the ſhielde of thine helpe, a which is the sword of thy glory? therefore thine enemies halbe in subjection to thee, and thou halt tread vpon their hie places.

5 (Howe Iofhua had saide vnto the people, * Sanctifie your selues: for to moowe the Lord will do wonders among you)

6 Also Iofhua spake vnto the Priests, saying, Take vp the Arke of the Covenant, & go ouer before the people: so they tooke vp the Arke of the Covenant, and went before the people.

7 C Then the Lord said vnto Iofhua, This day will I begin to magnify thee in his light of all Israel, which shall know, that * as I was with Moles, so will I be with thee.

8 Thou shall therefore command the Priests that beare the Arke of the Couenant, saying, When ye are come to the hinke of the waters of Jorden, ye shall stande still in Jorden.

9 C Then Iofhua saide vnto the children of Israel, Come hither, and heare the wordes of the Lord your God.

10 And Iofhua said, d Hereby ye shall knowe that the liuing God is among you, & that he will certeinly cast out before you the Canaanites, & the Hittites, and the Hiuites, and the Derizzites, and the Gergahites, & the Amorites, and the Jeubites.

11 Bcholde, the Arke of the Covenant of the Lord of all the world palfeth before you into Jorden.

12 Now therefore take frd among you twelue men out of the tribes of Israel, out of every tribe a man.

13 And as soone as the soles of the feet of the

Priests (that beare the Arke of J. Lord God the Loode of all the worlde) shall stay in the waters of Jorden, the waters of Jorden shall be cut off: for the waters that come from aboue, * shall stand still upon an heape.

Ps. 114.3.

14 C Then when the people were departed from their tentes to goe ouer Jorden, the Priests bearing the * Arke of the Couenant, went before the people.

15 And as they that bare the Arke came into Jorden, & the feet of the Priests that bare the Arke were dipped in the hinke of the water, (* for Jorden befteth to fill al his banks all the time of barueft)

16 Then the waters that came downe from above, staied & role vpon an heape & departed far from the city of Adam, that was beside Zaretan: but the waters * came down toward the Sea of the wildernes, euen the salt Sea, failed, & were cut off: so the people went right ouer against Jericho.

17 But the Priests that bare the Arke of the couenant of the Lord, stood dry within Jorden, & ready prepared, and all the Israelites wet ouer dry, until all the people were gone cleane ouer through Jorden.

### CHAP. IIII.

8 God commandd Iofhua to set up twelue stones in Jorden. 18 The waters returne to their old course. 20 Other twelue stones are set vp in Silgal. 21 This miracle must be declared to the potterine.

A And when all the people were wholly gone * ouer Jorden, (after the Loode) had spoken vnto Iofhua, saying,

2 Take you twelue men out of the people, out of everytige a man,

3 And command you them, saying, Take you hence out of the middes of Jorden, out of the place where the Priests stood in a rea-dines, twelue stones, which ye shall take away with you, & leave them in the lodging where you shall lodge this night)

4 Then Iofhua called the twelue men, who he had prepared of the children of Israel, out of everytige a man,

5 And Iofhua saide vnto them, Goe ouer before the Arke of the Loode your God, euen through the middes of Jorden, and take by euerie man of you a stone vpon his shoulder according vnto the number of the tribes of the children of Israel,

6 That this may be a ligne among you, that when you children shall see their fathers in time to come, saying, What meane you by these stones?

7 Then ye may answere them, That the waters of Jorden were cut off before the Arke of the couenant of the Lord: for when it palled through Jorden, the waters of Jorden were cut off: therefore these stones are a memoriall vnto the children of Israel: so euer.

8 Then the children of Israel did euen so, as Iofhua had commandd, & tooke by twelue stones out of the middes of Jorden, as the Lord had said vnto Iofhua, according to number of the tribes of the children of Israel, & carried them away with them vnto the lodging, and laid them downe there.

17 Iohua therefore commanded the Prieſt, laying, Come ye vp out of Jorden.

18 And when the Prieſt that bare the Arke of the couenant of the Lord were come vp out of the middes of Jorden, and allone as the soles of the Prieſt's feete were set on the dipe lande, the waters of Jorden returned vnto their place, as flowed ouer all the bakes thereof, as they did before.

a The Angles I rites were on both sides. Jorden, wathers of two limes were flaine already on the to the toluare Moab.

N Owe when all the kings of the a Almo nites, which were beyond Jorden Westward, e al the kings of the Ca- naanites, which were by the Sea, heard e the Loode had dyed vp the waters of Jor- den before the children of Israel vntill they

were gone ouer, their heart fainted: and there was no courage in the any more be- cause of the children of Israel.

C That fame time the Lord faide vnto Iohua, * Make thee sharpe kniues, b and returne, e circumcise the Sonnes of Israel the second time.

3 Then Iohua made him sharpe kniues and circumcised the Sonnes of Israel in e the hil of the foizekniues.

4 And this is the cause why Iohua circum-ciſed all the people, euen þ males that came out of Egypt, because all the men of warre were dead in the wildernes by the way after they came out of Egypt.

5 For al the people that came out were cir-cumcised: but al the people that were boorne in the wildernes by þ way after they came out of Egypt, were d not circumcised.

6 For the children of Israel walked fourtie peres in the wildernes, til all the people of the men of warre that came out of Egypt were cowlmed, because they obeyed not the boyce of the Lord : vnto whom the Lord wold, þ he would not thew them the land, * which the Lord had twoorne vnto their fa- thers, that he would give hs, euen a lande that koweth with milke and honie.

So their Sonnes whome he rapked vp in their steade, Iohua circumciled: for they were vncircumcised, because they circum-ciſed them not by the way.

8 And when they had made an ende of cir-cumciling al þ people, they abode in the pla- ces in the campe til they c were whole.

9 After, the Lord laid vnto Iohua, This day I haue taken away the e name of Egypt from you: wherefore he called the name of that place Gilgal, vnto this day.

10 C So the children of Israel abode in Gil-gal, and kept the feast of the Daffeouer the fourteenth day of the moneth at euen in the plaine of Jericho.

11 And they did eat of þ come of the land, on the molow after þ Daffeouer, unbcauened head, and parched come in the fame day.

12 And the MAN ceased on the molow after they had eaten of the come of the land, nei- ther had the children of Israel MAN any more, but did eate of the fruite of the lande of Canaan that yere.

13 C And when Iohua was vp Jericho, he lift vp his eies and looked: and behold, there stode a *man against him, hawing a wurd drawn in his hand: and Iohua went vi- to him, and said vnto him, Art thou on our side, or on our adueraries?

14 And he said, Nay, but as a captain of þ hof- f of the Lord am I now come: then Iohua fell on his face to the earth, and s did woz- hip, e said vnto him, What faith my Lord vnto his ſeruant?

15 And the capitaine of Lords hofte layde vi- to Iohua, * Loose thy shoe of thy foote: for the place whereon thou kandeſt, is holy: and Iohua did so.

And Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai, which is behind Bethauen, on the East side of Bethel, andakeunto them, laying, Go vp, & viewethe country. And the men went bp, and viewed Ai,

And returned to J o h u a , and laid unto him, Let not all people go bp, but let as it were two of thee thousand men go bp, and finite Ai, and make not all the people to labour thither, for they are fewe.

So there went bp thither of the people a- bout thee thousand men, a they fled before the men of Ai.

c God would bp thence overth e make the same e a r t to searche the whole country.

5

And the men of Ai smote of them upon a thirte a fire men: for they chamed them from before the gate unto Shebarim, and smote the in the going downe: wherefore 32 hearts of the people melted away like water.

C The Joshua rent his clothes, a kei to the earth upon his face before the Arke of the Lord, until the eventide, he, and the Elders of Israel, and put dust upon their heads.

For the Canaanites, a all the inhabitants of the land thal heare of it, a hal chafpele ds, & deſtroy our name out of the earth; a what wilt thou do vnto thy mighty c Name?

12

Therefore the children of Israel can not stand before their enemies, but haue turned their backes before their enemies, because they be exerca ble : neyther will I be with you any more, except ye deſtroy the ercommu- nicate from among you.

destroyed. The Lawe

3 Then Jofhua arose, and all the men of warre to go vp against Al: a Jofhua chose out thirtie thoufand strong men, & valiant, and sent them away by night.

4 And he commaunded them, saying, Beholde, ye b shall lye in wapte against the citie on the backeide of the citie: goe not be-rie farre from the citie, but ye all in a rea-dinesse.

5 And J and all the people that are with me, will approach vnto the citie: z when they hal come out against vs, as they did at the first time, then will we flee before them.

6 For they wil come out after vs, til we have brought them out of the citie: for they will lay, They flee before vs as at the first time: so we will flee before them.

7 Then you shall rise vp from lying in waite and d destroye the citie: for the Loide your God will deliver it into your hand.

8 And when ye have taken the citie, ye shall let it on fire: according to the commandment of the Lord shall ye do: behold, I have charged you.

9 C Jofhua then sent them forth, a they went to lie in wait, and abode betweene Beth-el and Al, on the west side of Al: but Jofhua lodged that night among the people.

10 And Jofhua rose vp early in the morning, and d nombred the people: and he and the Elders of Israel went vp before the people against Al.

11 Also all the men of warre that were with him went vp and d we neere, and came against the citie, and pitched on the North side of Al: and there was a valley between them and Al.

12 And he tooke about kie thoufand men, c let them to lie in waite betweene Beth-el and Al, on the west side of the citie.

13 And the people let all the hoste that was on the Northide against the citie, and the liers in wait on the west, against the citie: and Jofhua went the same night into the middes of the valley.

14 And when the King of Al sawe it, then the men of the citie hafed and rose vp early, and went out against Israel to battel, he and all his people at the time appointed, before the plaine: for he knewe not that any lay in wait against him on the backeide of the citie.

15 Then Jofhua al Israel s as beaten before them, led by the way of the wildernes.

16 And all the people of the citie were called together, to purfue after them: a they purfued after Jofhua, and were drawen away out of the citie,

17 So that there was not a man left in Al, nor in Beth-el, that went not out after Israel: and they left the citie open, and purfued after Israel.

18 The Lord said vnto Jofhua: h Stretch out the speare that is in thine hand, toward Al: for I will give it into thine hand: a Jofhua stretched out the speare that he had in

his hand, toward the citie.

19 And that they laye in waite, arove quicklie out of their place, and ranne as soone as he had stretched out his hand, and they entred into the citie, and tooke it, and hafed, and let the citie on fire.

20 And the men of Al looked behinde them, and fawe it: for lo, the smoke of the citie ascended vp" to heauen, a they had no power to flee this way, that way: for the people that fled to the wildernes, turned backe vp on the pursuers.

21 When Jofhua and al Israel saw that they that lay in waite, had taken the citie, a that the smoke of the citie mounted vp, then they turned againe and flew the men of Al.

22 Also the other ifued out of the city against them: to were they in the middes of Israel, these being on the one side, a the rest on the other side: and they flewe them, so that they let none of them * remaine no: eftape.

23 And the King of Al they tooke alive, and brought him to Jofhua.

24 And whe Israel had made an end of slaying all the inhabitants of Al in the fielde, that is, in the wildernes, where they chafed them, and when they were all fallen on the edge of the word, vntill they were confused, all the Israelites returned vnto Al, a f smoke it with the edge of the word.

25 And all that fell that day, both of men and women, were twelue thoufand, euen at the men of Al.

26 Fo Jofhua d we ne not his hand backe againe which he had stretched out with the heare, vntill he had utterly destroyed al the inhabitants of Al.

27 * Onely the cattell and the spole of this citie, Israel tooke fo: a p ap vnto the fellues, according vnto h word of the Lord, which he comman ded Jofhua.

28 And Jofhua burnt Al, a made it an heape fo: euer, and a wildernes vnto this day.

29 And the king of Al he haged on a tree, bis to the enuenting, and as soone as the funne was downe, Jofhua commanded m that they should take his carkeis downe fro the tree, and cast it at the entring of the gate of the citie, a * lay thereon a great heape of stones, that remaineth vnto this day.

30 Then Jofhua built an altar vnto the Lord God of Israel, in mount Ebal,

31 As Moles the feraunt of the Loide had commanded the children of Israel, as it is written in the * booke of the law of Moles, an altar of whole stone, ouer which no man had lift an yon: and they offered thereon burnt offrings vnto the Loide, and sacrifi-ced peaceoffrings.

32 Also he wrote there byon the stones, a re-hear fal of h lawe of Moles, which he wrote in the presence of the children of Israel.

33 And all Israel (and their Elders, and offi-cers and their Judges stood on this side of the Arke, a on that side, before the Driestes of the Leuites, which bare the Arke of the couenant

c Let Iofhua know that they should have God had sent this great power against him for his lawfull league with the Simeonites, the Loibe here strengthened him.

8. And the Lord said unto Iofhua, Fare them not: for I have giuen them into thine hande: none of them shall stande against thee.

9. Iofhua therefore came vnto them sodeffectly: for he went vp from Gilgal all the night.

10. And the Lord discomfited them before Israel, & flew them with a great slaughter at Gibeon, and chafed them along the way that goeth vp to Beth-horon, and smote the to Izrahel and to Makkedah.

11. And as they fled from before Israel, & were in the going downe to Beth-horon, the Lord cast downe great stones from heauen vpon them, vntill Izrahel, & they dyed: they were more that dyed with the halelones, then they whom the children of Israel flew with the Lwode.

d So we see that at things feruie to excrezute god vengeance against the wicked.

12. Then spake Iofhua to the Lord, in the day when the Lord gaue the Amorites before the children of Israel, and he laid in the fight of Israel, & Sunne, stay thou in Gibeon, and thou moone, in the valley of Aialon.

13. And the Sunne abode, and the moone stood still, vntill the people auenged them selues

upon their enemies: (Is not this written in the booke of c Jachar) so the Sunne abode in the middes of the heauen, and hастed not to go downe for a whole day.

14. And there was no day like that before it, no after it, that the Loide heard the voice of a man: for the Lord i fought for Israel.

15. After, Iofhua returned, & al Israel with him vnto the campe to Gilgal:

16. But the five Kings fled and were hid in a caue at Makkedah.

17. And it was tode Iofhua, saying, The five Kings are founde hid in a caue at Makkedah.

18. Then Iofhua said, Roule great stones vp-on the mouth of the caue, and set men by it for to keepe them.

19. But ståd ye not still: follow after your enemies, & smite al the hindmolt, suffer the not to enter into their cities: for the Loide your God hath giuen them into your hand.

20. And when Iofhua and the children of Israel had made an end of slaying them with an exceeding great slaughter till they were consumed, and the rest that remained of the were entred into walled cities,

21. Then al the people returned to the campe, to Iofhua at Makkedah in peace: no man mooved his tongue against the children of Israel.

22. After, Iofhua said, Open the mouth of the caue, and bring out these five Kings vnto me forth of the caue.

23. And they did so, and brought out those five Kings vnto him forth of the caue, even the King of Jerusalem, the King of Hebron, the King of Jarmuth, the King of Lachish, and the King of Eglon.

24. And when they had brought out those Kings vnto Iofhua, Iofhua called for all the men of Israel, and laide vnto the chiefe of the me of warre, which went with him, Come neere, let your feet vpon the neckes of these Kings: and they came neere and let their feete vpon their neckes.

25. And Iofhua said vnto them, Fare not, no be faint hearted, but be strong and of a good courage: for thus wil the Lord do to al your enemies, against whom ye fight.

26. So then Iofhua smote them, and flewe them, and hanged them on five trees, and they hanged still vpon the trees untill the evening.

27. And at the going downe of the Sunne, Iofhua gaue co間aundement, that they should take * them downe of the trees, & cast them into the caue (wherein they had bene hid) and they laide great stones vpon the caues mouth, which remaine until this day.

28. And that same day Iofhua tooke Makkedah and smote it with the edge of the Lwode, and the King thereof destroyed he with them, & al the foules that were there in, he let none remaine: for he did to the King of Makkedah * as he had done vnto the King of Jericho.

and thy childiens for euier, because thou haſt
followed constantly the Lord my God.

Ad the whole Congregation of the children of Israel came together at Shiloh; for they set up the a Tabernacle of the Congregation there, after the land was lubickt vnto them.

a For they had now removed it from Gogal to it vnp in Shiloh.

2

Ad now there reامnzd among the children of Israel seuen tribes, to whomeb they had not deuided their inheritance.

k to the easter, Jothu & the heads of the tribes had home to Judah 3 Ephraim and half of J. Masnaialle.

3

Therefore Jothua layde vnto the children of Israel, Howe long are ye to slacke to enter and poselle the lande which the Lo'de God of your fathers hath giuen you?

4

Glue from among you for euery tribe three men, that I may fende them, and that they may rile, and walke vthrough the lande, and distribute it according to their inheritance, and retune to me.

c That is, into four portions, to euer trive one.

5

And that they may deuide it vnto them into seuen parts, (Judah shall abide in his coast at the South, and the house of Joseph shall stand in their coasts at the North)

d For that he had signes and tence alrable my poputche.

6

De shall describe the lande therefore into seuen parties, and shall bring them hither to me, and I will cast lots for you heere before the Lord our God.

e Before the Name or of the Lord.

7

But the Leutes shall haue no part among you: for the Dicthodeode of J. Lord is their inheritance : alio Gad & Reuben & halke the tribe of Manasseh haue receiued their inheritance beyond Jorden Cailwarde, which Moles the feruant of the Lo'de gave them.

f That is, the facilities and offrings, chap. 13, 14.

8

C Then the men arose, and went their waye: and Jothua charged them that went to describe the lande, laying, Depart, and goe through the lande, and describe it, and retune to me, that I may here cast lottes for you before the Lord in Shiloh.

g By writing the names of euer country and citye.

9

So the men departed, and pafled vthrough the lande, and described it by cities into seuen parts in a booke, returned to Jothua into the campe at Shiloh.

h That euery one should be content vnto God his pointement.

10

C Then Jothua h cast lots for the in Shiloh before the Lo'd, and there Jothua deuied the land vnto the children of Israel, according to their portions:

i Their inhereitance hoved vpon Judah & J. Joseph.

11

C And the lot of the tribe of the children of Benjamin came forth according to their families, and the coast of their lot laye betheweene the children of Judah, and the children of Joseph.

k Which was in the tribe of Ephraim an other Beth-el was in a tribe of Benjamin.

12

And their coast on the Northside was from Jorden, and the border wet vp to the side of Jericho on the Northpart, and went vp through the mountains Westward, and the endes thereof are in the wildernes of Beth-auen:

13

And this border goeth along from thence to Luz, euen to the Southside of Luz (the same is k Beth-el) and this border deuendeth to Akroth-addar, nere the mount, that lyeth on the Southside of Beth-hozon the nether.

11

Kiriat-haal (which is Kiriat-icarim) a citie of the children of Judah : this is the Westquarter.

15

And the Southquarter is from the end of Kiriat-icarim, and this border goeth out to the Sea, or, to the Sea of waters of Hephtoah.

16

And this border deſcedeth at the end of the mountainaine, that lyeth before the valley of Ben-hinnom, which is in the valley of the gyants Northwarde, and deſcedeth into the valley of Hinnom by the side of Jebuſt Southward, & goeth downe to En-rogel,

17

And compasſeth from the North, & goeth forth to 1 En-chemel, and stretcheth to Ge-liloth, which is towarde the going vp vnto Adummim, and goeth downe to the * stone of Bohan the sonne of Reuben.

18

So it goeth along to the side ouer agaynst the playne Northwarde, and goeth downe into the playne.

19

After, this border goeth along to the side of Beth-hoglah Northward: and the ends thereof, that is, of the border, reache to the poynt of the salt Sea Northwarde, and to the m end of Jorden Southwarde: this is the Southcoast.

20

Alto Jorden is the border of it on the Eastside : this is the inheritance of the children of Benjamin by the coasts thereof rounde about according to their families.

21

A Nowe the cities of the tribe of the children of Benjamin according to their families, are Jericho, and Beth-hoglah, and the valley of Bezit,

22

And Beth-arabah, and Zemaraim, and Beth-el,

CHAP. XX.

2 The Lord commandeth Iohua to appoint cities of refuge. 3 The cities thereof, and their names.

1

The Lord also spake vnto Iohua, saying
Speake to the children of Israel, a sap,

* Appoint you cities of refuge, whereof I spake vnto you by the hand of Mo'ses,
That the slayer that killeth any person by ignorance, & vntwittingly, may flee thither, and they shall be your refuge from the auenger of blood.

4

And he that doeth flee vnto one of those ci-
ties, shall stand at the entring of the gate of
the citie, a thal he to his cause to the Elders
of the citie : and they shall receive him into
the citie vnto them, and give him a place,
that he may dwell with them.

5

And if the b auenger of blood purgse aſter him , they shall not deliver the slayer into his hande because he smote his neyghbour igno:antly, neyther hated he him before time:

6

But he shall dwell in that citie vntill he
stande before the Congregation in c iudge-
ment, * or vntill the death of the hie Prieſt
that shall be in those daies : then shall the
slayer returne, and come vnto his owne ci-
tie, and vnto his owne house, euen vnto the
citie from whence he fled.

7

C Then they appoynted Redesh in "Galil
in mount Naphtali, a Shechem in mount
Ephraim, and Kiriath-ara, (which is He-
bron) in the mountain of Judah.

8

And on the other side Jordan toward Jer-
cho Eastward, they appoynted * Bezer in
the wildernesse vpon the plapne, out of the
tribe of Reuben, & Ramoth in Gilead, out
of the tribe of Gad, and Golan in Basan,
out of the d tribe of Manasseh.

9

These were the cities appoynted for all the children of Israel, and for the STRAANGER that toourned among them, that whosoever killed anie person igno:antly, myght flee thither, and not dye by the hande of the auenger of blood, vntill he stoode before the Congregation.

CHAP. XXI.

4 The cities quen to the Leuites, in number eight and four, 44 The Lord according to his promise gaue the children of Israel reft.

1

Then came the " principal fathers of the
Leuites vnto Cleazar the Prieſt, and
unto Iohua the sonne of Aun, and
unto the chiefe fathers of the tribes of the
children of Israel,

2

And spake vnto them at Shiloh in the land
of Canaan, saying, * The Lo'de command-
ded a by the hande of Mo'ses, to give vs ci-
ties to dwell in, with the suburbes thereof
for our cattel.

3

So the children of Israel gaue into the
Leuites, out of their inheritace at the com-
mandement of the Lo'de these cities with
their suburbes.

4

And the lot came out for the families of the
b Kohathites; and the children of Aaron the
Prieſt, which were of the Leuites, had by
lot, out of the tribe of Judah, and out of the
tribe of Simeon, out of the tribe of Ben-
amin, thirtene cities.

5

And the rest of the children of Kohath had by
lot out of the families of the tribe of Ephra-
im, and out of the tribe of Dan, out of the
halke tribe of Manasseh, ten cities.

6

Allo the children of Gersbon had by lot out of the families of the tribe of Ikkachar, and out of the tribe of Aher, out of the tribe of Naphtali, out of the halke tribe of Ma-nasseh in Basan, thirteene cities.

7

The children of Merari according to their
families had out of the tribe of Reuben, and
out of the tribe of Gad, and out of the tribe
of Zebulun, twelue cities.

8

So the children of Israel gaue by lot vnto
the Leuites these cities with their suburbs,
as the Lord had commanded by the hande
of Mo'ses.

9

And they gaue out of the tribe of
the children of Judah, out of the tribe of
the children of Simeon, these cities which are
here named.

10

And they were the childrens of d Aaron
beyng of the families of the Kohathites, and
of the fonnes of Leui, (for theirs was the
first lot)

11

So they gaue them Kiriath-ara-ba of
the father of Anok (which is Hebron) in the
mountaine of Judah, with the suburbes of
the same round about it.

12

(But the land of the citie, and the villages
thereof, gaue they to * Caleb the sonne of
Jephunneh to be his poſſession.)

13

C Thus they gaue to the e children of Ala-
ron the Prieſt, a citie of refuge for; the slayer,
euen Hebron with her suburbes, f Libnah
with her suburbes,

14

And Jattir with her suburbes, and Echtemo and her suburbes,

15

And Holon with her suburbes, and Debit
with her suburbes,

16

And Aun with her suburbes, g Juttah with
her suburbes, Beth-shemesh with her sub-
urbes; nine cities out of those two tribes.

17

And out of h tribe of Benjamin they gaue
Gibeon with her i suburbs, Geba with her
suburbes,

18

Anathoth with her suburbes, and Almon
with her suburbes: foure cities.

19

Al the cities of h childe of Aaron Prieſs,
were thirteene cities with their suburbes.

20

But to the families of the children of
Kohath of the Leuites, g which were the
rest of the children of Kohath (for the ci-
ties of their lot were out of the tribe of E-

21

They gaue them the citie of refuge for the

12 When the children of Israel heard it, then the whole Congregation of the children of Israel gathered them together at Shiloh to go forth to warre against them.

g Such nowe was there
year, after he

therein, but

13 Then the children of Israel sent unto the children of Reuben, and to the children of Gad, and to the halfed tribe of Manasseh into the lande of Gilead, Phinehas the sonne of Eleazar the Priest,

14 And with him ten princes, of every chiefe you he a prince, according to all the tribes of Israel: for every one was chiefe of their fathers houyholde among the thousandes of Israel.

*or, multitude.

15 So they went unto the children of Reuben, and to the children of Gad, and to the halfed tribe of Manasseh, into the lande of Gilead, and spake with them, laying,

h Not onely of
the prynces
but also of the
canon people,

16 Thus saith the whole Congregation of the Lord, What transgression is this that ye haue transgressed against the God of Israel, to turne away this day from the Lord, in that ye haue buylt you an altar for to rekel this day against the Lord?

17 Hau we to little for the wickednesse *of Deo, whereof we are not clensed unto this day, though a plague came vpon the Congregation of the Lord?

19 Not withstanding if the lande of your possession be k blickeane, come pce ouer vnto the lande of the possession of the Lord, wherein the Lordes Tabernacle dwelleth, and take possession among vs : but 1rebell not against the Lord, no2 rebel not agaynft vs in building you an altar, beſide the altar of the Lord our God.

m Signifying,
that if many
fuffered for one
mains faute,
for the fault of
all
should suffer,

21 Then the children of Reuben and the children of Gad, and the halfed tribe of Manasseh anſwered, and layde vnto the heads ouer the thousandes of Israel.

22 The Lord God of gods, the Lord God of gods, he knoweth, and Israel him ſelſe that knowe: if by rebellion, or by transgression against the Lord we haue done it, ſaue thou vs not this day.

23 If we haue buylt us an altar to returne away from the Lord, either to offer thereon burnt offring, or meate offring, or to offer peace offrings thereon, let the Lord "him ſelſe require it:

n Let him pu-
with us.

24 And if wee haue not rather done it for keare of this thing, laying, In tyme to come your children mygt lay into our children, What haue ye to doe with the Lord God of Israel?

25 For the Lord hath made Jorden a border

between us, you, ye children of Reuben, and of Gad: therefore ye haue no part in the Lord: so shall your children make our children * cease from fearing the Lord.

o Or, to turne
back from the
true God.

26 Therefore we layd, We will now go about to make us an altar, not for burnt offering, nor for sacrifice,

27 But it ſalbe a *witnes betweene vs & you, a betwene our generations after vs, to execute the ſeruice of the Lord before him in our burnt offrings, and in our ſacrifices, and in our peace offrings, and that your children should be not layes to our children in tyme to come, We haue no part in the Lord.

28 Therefore said we, If so be that they should lay to us or to our P generations in tyme to come, then will we anſwere, Beholde the faction of the altar of the Lord, which our fathers made, not for burnt offering nor for sacrifice, but it is a witnes betweene us & poul.

29 God forbid, that we should rebel agaynſt the Lord, and turne this day away from the Lord to buyld an altar for burnt offering, or for meat offering, or for sacrifice, keue the altar of the Lord our God, that is before his Tabernacle.

30 And when Phinehas the Priest, and the princes of the Congregation and heades ouer the thousandes of Israel which were with him, heard the words, that the children of Reuben, and children of Gad, and the children of Manasseh layke, they were well content.

s The p[rophets] a wonderful t[ext] that they bare toward their p[ro]litterie. They might be in the true ſeruice of God,

t He it was good
in their eyes.

31 And Phinehas the sonne of Eleazar the Priest laid vnto the children of Reuben and to the children of Gad, and to the children of Manasseh. This day we perceive, that the Lord is 1 among vs, because yee haue not done this telpasse against the Lord: nowe ye have delivered the children of Israel our of the hand of the Lord.

32 The Chidehas the sonne of Eleazar the Priest with the princes returned from the children of Reuben, and from the children of Gad, out of the lande of Gilead, vnto the lande of Canaan, to the children of Israel, and brought them anſwere.

33 And the laying pleased the children of Israel: as the children of Israel “bleſſed God,” and “minded not to go against them in batel, for to destroy the land, wherein the children of Reuben, and Gad dwelt.”

34 Then the children of Reuben, and the children of Gad called the altar “Ed: for it shall be a witnes betweene us, that the Lord is God.”

10 * One man of you shall chafe a thousande: for the Lord your God, he fighteth for you, as he hath promised you.

11 Take good heede therefore vnto your † ſelues, that ye loue the Lord your God.

12 Eſs, if ye go backe, a cleaue vnto the rest of these nations: that is, of them that remaine with you, and shall † make marriages with them, and ‡ go vnto them, a they to you,

13 Knowe ye for certaine, that the Lord your God will cast out no more of these nations from before you : * but they shall be a ſnare and destruction vnto you, and a whippe on your ſides, and thornes in your ‡ eyes, vntil ye perſihe out of this good land, which the Lord your God hath given you.

14 And beholde, this day do I † enter into the waye of all the world, and ye knowe in all your ‡ heartes and in all your ſoules, that * nothing hath fayled of all the good things which the Lo'de your God promised you, but all are come to palle vnto you : nothing hath fayled thereof.

15 Therefore as all † good things are come vpon you, which the Lo'de your God promised you, to shall the Lord bring vpon you every † euill thing, vntill he haue destroyed you out of this good land, which the Lo'de your God hath given you.

16 When ye shall ‡ tranſigreſſe the couenaunt of the Lo'de your God, which he comman-ded you, and shall go and ſerve other gods, and bowe your ſelues to them, then shall the wraath of the Lord ware hote against you, † ye shall perſish quickely out of the good lande which he hath giuen you.

A And Iofhua asſembled agayne all the † a triſes of Israel to Shechem, † cal- led the elders of Israel, † their heads, and their J udges, and their officers, † they preſented them ſelues before † God.

2 Then Iofhua laid vnto al the people, Thus ſayeth the Lo'de God of Israel, * Pour fa-thers dwelt before the ‡ flood in olde time, euen Terah the father of Abraham, and the father of Achoz, and ſerved other gods.

3 And I tooke your father Abraham from beyond the flood, and brought him through all the land of Canaan, and multiplied his ſeede, and * gaue him Izbak.

4 And I gaue vnto Izbak. Jaakob a Slau; and I gaue vnto * Slau mouſt Seir, to pos-fesse it; but * Jaakob and his children went downe into Egypt.

5 * I ſent Moles † also a Aaron, † I plagued Egypt: and when I had ‡ done among them, I brought you out.

6 So I * brought your fathers out of Egypt, and ye came vnto the Sea, ‡ the Egyptiās purſued after your fathers with charets ‡ ho: ſemen vnto * the red Sea.

7 Then they cryed vnto the Lord, and he put * a darkenes betweene you and the Egyptri-ans, and brought the Sea vpon them, and couer'd them: so your ies haue seene what I haue done in Egypt: also ye dwelt in the wilderness ‡ a long season.

8 After, I brought you into the land of the A-moites, which dwelt beyond Jorden, * and they fought with you : but I gaue the into your hand, and ye posſessed their countrep, and I destroyed them out of your fight.

9 * Also Balak the ſonne of Zippor King of Moab arose a warred against Israel, and ſent to call Balaam the ſonne of Bco: for to curie you,

10 But I would not heare Balaam: therfore he bleſſed you, and I deuier'd you out of his hande.

11 And ye went ouer Jorden, and came vnto Jericho, and the ‡ men of Jericho fought a-gainst you, the Amoites, ‡ the Perizites, and the Canaanites, ‡ the Mittites, and the Eglafalites, ‡ the Hivites ‡ the Jebusites, and I deuier'd them into your hand.

12 And I ſent * hornets before you, which cast them out before you, eu: the two kings of the Amoites, and not with the two ſword, nor with the bowe.

13 And I haue giuen you a lande, wherein ye did not labour, ‡ cities which ye buptyt not, and ye dwel in them, ‡ eat of the vineyards and olive trees, which ye planted not.

14 Now therefore ‡ feare the Lord, and ſerve him in uprightnes and in truth, ‡ and put away the gods, ‡ which your fathers ſerved beonde the flood and in Egypſt, and ſerve ye the Lo'de.

the gods of the Amozites, in whose land
ye dwell: s but J and mine house will serve
the Lord.

16 Then the people answered and said, God
forbid, that we should forake the Lorde, to
ferue other gods.

17 For the Lord our God, he brought vs and
our fathers out of the lande of Egypt, from
the house of bondage, and he did thole great
miracles in our fight, and preferred vs in al
the way that we went, and among all the
people through whom we came.

18 And the Lord did cast out before vs all the
people, even the Amozites which dwelt in
the lande: therefore will we also serve the
Lord, b for he is our God.

19 And Jolhua laid vnto the people, We can
not serve the Lord: for he is an holy God:
he is a telous God: he will not pardon your
iniquite nor your innes.

20 If he forake the Loide and serve strange
gods, * then he will returne and bring eill
upon you, and consume you, after that hee
hath done you good.

21 And the people laid vnto Jolhua, Sap, but
we will serve the Lord.

22 And Jolhua faide vnto the people, We are
witnesse for against your felues, that ye have
choen pou the Lord, to serve him: and they
said, We are witnesseles.

23 Then put away now, said he, the strange
gods which are among you, & bowe your
hearts vnto the Lord God of Israel.

24 And the people faide vnto Jolhua, The
Lord our God will we serve, and his boyce
will we obey.

25 So Jolhua¹ made a couenaunt with the

people the same day, and gaue them an or-
dinance and law in Shechem.

26 And Jolhua wote these words in the
booke of the Lawe of God, & tooke a great
stone, & pitched it there under an oke that
was in the Sanctuarie of the Lord.

27 And Jolhua faide vnto all the people, Be-
holde, this stone halve a * witnes vnto vs:
for it m hath hearede all the words of the
Lorde which he spake with vs : it halve
therefore a witnes against you, left ye denie
your God.

28 Then Jolhua let the people depart, euery
man vnto his inheritance.

29 And after these things Jolhua the Sonne of
Aun, the servant of the Loide dyed, being
an hundred and ten yeres olde.

30 And thep buried him in y border of his in-
heritance in *Tinnath-ferah, which is in
mount Ephraim, on y Northside of mount
Gaaash.

31 And Israel n SERUE the Lord al the dayes
of Jolhua, and all the dayes of the Elders
that overlued Jolhua, z which had know-
en all the works of the Loide that he had
done for Israel.

32 And the * bones of Joseph, which the chil-
dren of Israel brought out of Egypt, buried
they in Shechem in a parcell of grounde
which Jaakob bought of *the bones of Ha-
mo, the father of Shechê, for an hundred
pieces of filuer, and the children of Joseph
had them in their inheritance.

33 Also Eleazar the Sonne of Aaron dyed,

THE ARGVMENT.

A
Lleit there is nothing that more prouoketh God's wrath, then mans ingratitude, yet is there nothing fo displeafant and heynous
that can turne backe God's loue from his Church. For now when the Israelites were entred into the land of Canaan, and fawe the
truth of God's promises performed, in stead of acknowledging his great benefits and giuing thanks for the fame, they fel to most
horrible obliution of God's graces, contrary to their folemne promises made vnto Iofhua, and fo prouoked his vengeance (as much
as in them flood) to their viter deſtruction. Whereof as they had moſt evident ſignes by the mutabilite of their ſtate: (for he ſuſured them
to be moſt cruelly vexed and tormented by tyrants : he pulled them from liberte, & caſt them into ſlauerie, to the intent they might feele
their owne miferies and ſo call vnto him and be deliuered) So to ſhowe that his mercies endure for euer, he rayſed vp from time to time
ſuch as should deliuer them and aſſure them of his fauour and grace, if they would turne to him by true repentance. And theſe deliuerers
the Scripture calleth Judges, because they were executors of God's judgements, not choen of the people nor by ſuccession, but raſed vp,
as it ſeemed beſt to God, for the gouernance of his people. They were fourteene in nomber beſides Iofhua, & gournered from Iofhua vi-
to Saul the first King of Israel. Iofhua and theſe vnto the time of Saul ruled 377 yeeres. In this booke are many notable points declared,
but two eſpecially: first, the battell that the Church of God hath for the maintenance of true religion against idolatric and ſuperſition:
next, what great danger that common welch is in, when as God giueth not a magifrate to reteine his people in the purenes of religion
and his true ſeruice.

And Judah faide vnto Simeon his * ho-
ther, Come vp with me into my lot, that we
may fight against the Canaanites: and I
likewise will goe with thee into thy lot: so
Simeon went with him.

4 Then Judah went vp, and the Lord deli-
uered the Canaanites and the Herizzites
into their hands, and they flewe of them in
Bezek ten thousand men.

5 And they founde a Adoni-bezek in Bezek: c Or, the lord of Black

But Adoni-bezek fled, and they purſued after him, a caught him, a cut of the thumbs of his hands and of his feete.

And Adoni-bezek ſaide, Seuente Kings hauing the thumbs of their hands and of their feete cut of, gathered bread under my table: as I haue done, to God hath rewarded me, so they brought him to Jeruſalem, and there he dyed.

(A)ne of the children of Judah had fought against Jeruſalem, and had taken it and smitten it with the edge of the sword, and had set the citie on fire.)

Afterward was also the children of Judah went downe to fight against the Canaanites, that dwelt in the mountaine, and to ward the South, and in the low countrep.

11 These three were giants, and of chil- dren of Anak.

And Judah went against the Canaanites, that dwelt in Hebron, which Hebron before time was called * Kiriath-arba : and they flew * Sheshai, and Ahiman and Talmai.

11

And from thence he went to the inhabitants of Debit, and the name of Debit in olde time was Kiriath-Sepheth.

12

And Caleb ſaide, He that limitheth Kiriath-Sepheth, a taketh it, euen to him will I give Achsah my daughter to wife.

13

And Dthiel the ſonne of Kenaz Calebs yonger brother tooke it, to whome he gaue Achsah his daughter to wife.

14

And whé he came to him, he moued him to alke of her father a fielde, s and he ligh ted of her alke, a Caleb ſaid unto her, What that wilt thou?

15

And the anſwered him, Give me a blessing: for thou haſt giuen me a South countrey, give me albo prings of water : and Caleb gaue her the prings aboue and the prings beneath.

16

And the children of h Keni Moſes father in law went vp out of the citie of the palme trees with the children of Judah, into the wildernes of Judah, that lieth in South of Arad, and went and dwelt among the people.

17

But Judah wët with Simeſ his brother, and they flew the Canaanites that inhaſted Zephath, and utterly destroyed it, and called the name of the citie * Hormah.

18

Also Judah tooke a * Zoph with the coaſts thereof, and Alkelon with the coaſts thereof, and Ekron with the coaſts thereof.

19

And the Lord was with Judah, a the poſſed the mountaines: for he could not drive out the inhabitants of the vallies, because they had chargets of yon.

20

And they gaue Hebron unto Caleb, as * Moſes had ſaide, and he expelled thence the three ſonnes of Anak.

21

But the children of Benjamin did not caſt out the Jebulites, that * inhabited Jeruſalem: therefore the Jebulites dwel with the children of Benjamin in Jeruſalem unto this day.

22

They also that were of the house of Jo-

ſeph, went vp to Beth-el, and the Lord was with them,

23

And the house of Joseph caused to be we Beth-el ( and the name of the citie before time was * Luz)

24

And the fires ſawe a man come out of the citie, and they laid unto him, Shew vs, we pray thee, the way into the citie, * and we will thew thee mercie.

25

And when he had hewed them the way into the citie, they smote the citie with the edge of the sword, but they let the man and al his houſholde depart.

26

Then the man went into the lande of the Yittites, a built a citie, and called the name thereof Luz, which is the name thereof vi to this day.

27

C * Neither did Manaſeh deſtroy Beth- ſhean with her townes, no? Taanach with her townes, no? inhabitants of Do with her townes, no? the inhabitants of Ibleam with her townes, neither the inhabitants of Hegido with her townes: but the Canaanites dwelled still in that land.

28

Aneuertheſſe when Israel was strong, they put the Canaanites to tribute, and ex pelled them not wholly.

29

C * Likewise Ephaſim expelled not the Canaanites that dwelt in Gezer, but the Canaanites dwelt in Gezer among them.

30

A neither did m Zebulun expel the inha bitants of Rithron, no? the inhabitants of Nahalol, but the Canaanites dwelt among them, and became tributaries.

31

A neither did Ather caſt out the inha bitants of Acho, no? the inhabitants of Zé don, no? of Ahabl, no? of Achzib, no? of Hel- bah, no? of Aphil, no? of Kehob,

32

But the Aherites dwelt among the Canaanites the inhabitants of the lande: for they did not drive them" out.

33

A Neither did Aaphaſi diue out the inha bitants of Beth-themeh, no? the inha bitants of Beth-anath, but dwelt among the Canaanites the inhabitants of the land: neuertheles the inhabitants of Beth-ſhe- meh, and of Beth-anath became tributa ries unto them.

34

And the Amorites * dioue the children of Dan into the mountaine: so that they ſuffered them not to come downe to the val lep.

35

And the Amorites' dwelt still in mount Heres in Aialon, and in Shaalbim, a whé the hand of Josephs familie preuailed, they became tributaries:

36

And the coaſt of the Amorites was from Maaleh-aktabbim, euen from P Selah and byward.

12 Then they shewed Sifera, that Barak the sonne of Abinoam was gone vp to mount Tabo.

13 And Sifera called for all his charrets, euen nine hundreth charrets of yon, and all the people that were with him fro Harolheth of the Gentiles, into the river Kithon.

14 Then Deborah laid into Barak, &c. for this is the day that the Lord hath delivered Sifera into thine hande. Is not the Loide gone out before thee? So Barak went down from mount Tabo, and ten thouland men after him.

15 And the Lord deſtroyed Sifera and all his charrets, a all his hóſte with the edge of the sword, before Barak, so that Sifera lighted down of his charet, a fled away on his feet.

16 But * Barak purſued after the charrets, a after the hóſt into Harolheth of b Gentiles: a all the hóſt of Sifera fell vpon the edge of the world: there was not a man left.

17 Howbeit, Sifera fled away on his feete to the tent of Jael the wife of b Heber the Kenite: (for peace was betwene Jabin the king of Hazor, and betweene the house of Heber the Kenite)

18 And Jael went out to meet Sifera, a laid into him, Turne in, my Loide, turne in to me: keare not. And when he had turned in into her into her tent, she couered him with a mantel.

19 And he laid into her, Gue me, I zap thee, a little water to drinſk: for I am thirsty. And he opened * a bottel of milke, and gaue him hinde, and couered him.

20 Algaine he faſte into her, Stande in the doode of the tent, and when any man doth come and enquire of thee, ſaying, I b any man here? thou halt ſay, I pay.

21 Then Jael Hebers wife tooke a k nayle of the tent, and tooke an hammer in her hand, and went softely into him, a linote the náile into his temples, and fastened it into the ground, (for he was fast a sleepe, and weary) and so he dyed.

22 And behold, as Barak purſued after Sifera, Jael came out to meete him, a laid into him, Come, and I wil thew mee the man, whom thou feefest: and when he came into her tent, behold, Sifera lay dead, and the nayle in his temples.

23 So God brought downe Jabin the King of Canaan that day before the children of Israel.

24 And the hand of the childre of Israel p[ro]fepered, and p[re]enailed against Jabin the king of Canaan, vntill they had deſtroyed Jabin King of Canaan.

a The ſong and thankes giuing of Deborah and Barak, after the b[ic]t.

1 The ſang Deborah, a Barak the ſonne of Abinoam the ſame day, ſaying,

2 Praise ye the Lord for the auenging of Israel, and for the * people that oktred their ſelues willingly.

3 Heare ye Kings, hearken ye Princes: I, euen I wil ſing into the Lord: I wil ſing praise into the Lord God of Israel.

4 Lord, * w[hy] thou wentest out of Seit, w[hy] thou departest out of the helde of * Edom, the earth trembled, a the heauens rayned, the cloudes also dropped water.

5 * The mountains melted before the Lord, P[sa]l. 17. 5. * as did that Sinai before the Lord God of Israel. Exod. 19. 18.

6 In the dayes of * Shamgar the ſonne of Alnath, in the dayes of * Jael the h[pe] wayes were b vnoccupied, a the travelers walked through by wayes.

7 The townes were not inhabited : they decaied, I lay, in Israel, until I Deborah came by, which role vp a c mother in Israel.

8 They chose newe gods: then was wart in the gates. Naas there a d h[iel]de or speare, weene among fourtie thouland of Israel.

9 Mine heart is set on the gouerners of Israel, & on them that are willing among the people: praise ye the Lord.

10 Speake ye that ride on e white asses, ye that dwell e by Middin, and that walke by the way.

11 For the noise of the archers appaiffed among the s drawers of water : there shall they rehese the righroulues of the Lord, his righouroulues of his townes in Israel : then did the people of the Lord go downe to y gates.

12 Up Deborah, bp, arile, & ſing a long: arise Barak, a leade b thy captiuität captive, thou ſonne of Abinoam.

13 For they that remaine, haue dominion over the mightie of the people: the Lord hath giuen me dominion ouer the strong.

14 Of Ephraim: their roote aroſe against Amalek: & after thee, Ben-tamin shall fight against thy people, O Amalek: of Machat came rulers, a of Zebulun: they that handle the pen of the k writer.

15 And the Princes of J[affachar] were with Deborah. I J[affachar] a alio Barak: he was set on his feet in the valley: for the diuisions of Reuben were great m thoughtes of heart.

him, Take thy fathers yong bullocke, & an
other bullocke of tenuen peres olde, and de-
stroy the altar of Baal that thy father hath,
and cut downe the grove that is by it,

k That is, as
the Caldeert
wetter, he
nem peres.

26 And build an altar vnto the Lo'd thy God
upon the top of this rocke, in a plaine place:
and take the seconde bullocke, and offer a
burnt offering with the wood of the grove,
which thou shall cut downe.

l Which grove
rd about Baal
als altar.

27 Then Gideon took ten men of his ser-
uants, & did as the Lo'd bade him: but be-
cause he feared to doe it by day for his fa-
thers thouland & the men of the citie, he did
it by night.

28 And when the men of the citie arose ear-
ly in the morning, beholde, the altar of Baal
was broken, and the grove cut downe that
was by it, and the second bullocke offered
upon the altar that was made.

m Meaning,
the fatte buil,
which was
cut to be ob-
fred unto
Baal.

29 Therefore they laid one to another, who
hath done this thing? and when they inqui-
red and asked, they laid, Gideon the sonne
of Joash hath done this thing.

30 Then the men of the citie laid vnto Joash,
Bing out thy sonne, that he may dye: for he
hath destroyed the altar of Baal, and hath
also cut downe the grove that was by it.

31 And Joash said vnto all that stood by him,
will ye pleade Baals cause? or will ye faue
him? or he that will contend for him, let him
dye or the morning. If he be God, let him
plead for himselfe against him that hath cast
downe his altar.

n Thus were
ought to nuf-
fie them, that
are sralues of
Gods cause,
though all the
multitude be
against vs.

32 And in that day was Gide called Jerub-
baal, that is, Let Baal plead for himselfe be-
cause he hath broken downe his altar.

33 The at the Midianites & the Amalekites &
theep of the Cast, were gathered together, &
went and pitched in the valley of Izreel.

34 But the spirit of the Lo'd came vpon El-
don, * and he blew a trumpet, and Abie-
zer was ioyned with him.

35 And he sent messengers vthroughout all
Manaleth, which also was ioyned with
him, & he sent messengers vnto Asher, and
to Zebulun & to Naphtali, and they came
up to meete them.

p This required
much record, not
of sinne,
but that he
might be con-
franchis in his
location.

36 The Gideon said unto God, If thou wilt
faue Israel by mine hand, as thou hast said,

37 Beholde, I will put a fleece of wooll in the
thrching place: if the dew come on the fleece
only, it be drie upon al the earth, then shall
I be fure, if thou wilt faue Israel by mine
hand, as thou hast said.

38 And lo it was: for he rose vp early on the
mozowe, and thrust the fleece to gether, and
winged the dewe out of the fleece, and fil-

led a bowle of water.

39 Againe, Gideon said vnto God, Be not an-
gry with me, that I may speak once more:
let me proue once againe, I pray thee, with
the fleece: let it now be drie only vpon the
fleece, and let dewe be vpon al the grounde.

40 And God did so that same night: for it was
a Drie vpon the fleece only, and there was
dewe on al the ground.

The Lo'de commandeth Gideon to feele away a great part of his
compaine. 32 The Midianites are discomfited by a wonderful
firt. 33 Dure and Zeeb are flame.

Then *Jerubbaal (who is Gideon) rose
up early and all the people that were
with him, and pitched beside the well
of Harod, so that the hoast of the Midianites
was on the Northside of them in the valley
by the hill of Shoreh.

And the Lo'd faide vnto Gideon, The peo-

lay, Mine hand hath faued me.

or fearfull, let him returne, and depart ear-
ly from mount Gilead. And there returned
of the people which were at mount Gilead,
two and twentie thouland: so ten thouland
remained.

Deur 20:8.

1 mac. 3:56.

And the Lo'd faide vnto Gideon, The peo-
ple are yet to manie : bring them downe
vnto the watet, and I will tree them for
thee there: and of whome I saue vnto thee,
This man shall go with thee, the same shall
go with thee: and of whombeuer I lay vin-
to thee, This man shall no go with thee, the
same shall not go.

b I will give
there a proofe
to know them,
that that ga-

So he brought downe the people vnto the
water. And the Lo'dlaid vnto Gideon, As
many as lap the water with their tongues,
as a dog lappeth, them put by themselves, &
every one that shall bowe downe his knees
to drinke, put apart.

c Let them des
parte, as uns
intere to thys
enterteynt.

6 And the nomer of them that lapped by
putting their haides to their mouthes, were
thee hundred men : but all the remnant of
the people kreeled downe vpon their knees
to drinke water.

7 Then the Lo'de faide vnto Gideon, By
these three hundred men that lapped, will
I faue you, a deliverer the Midianites into
thine hand and let all the other people goe
every man for his place.

d That is, the
one & thre:
thousand and
fuen hundred,

8 So the Israelites tooke vitales with them,
and their pastures: as he sent all the rest of
Israel, every one into his tent, as reteined
the three children: as the hoste of His-
dian was before him in a valley.

o To fight as

of Israel.

14 She may eat of nothing that commeth of
the bimtree: hee shall not dinke wnye no:
strong dinke, no: eat any vnclean thing:
let her obferne all b I haue commanded her.

15 Manoah then layde unto the Angel of the
Lord, I pray thee, let vs reteine thee, vntill
we haue made ready a kid for thee.

16 And the Angel of the Lord laid vnto Ma-
noah, Though thou make me abide, I will
not eate of thy bread, and if thou wilt make
a burnt offering, offer it vnto the b Lord: for
Manoah knew we not that it was an Angel
of the Lord.

17 Algaine Manoah laid vnto the Angel of b
Lord, what is thy name, that whc thy lay-
ing is come to palle, we may honour thee?

18 And the Angel of the Lord layd vnto him,
why alkeft þ thus after my name, which
is s secret?

19 Then Manoah tooke a kid with a meate
offring, and offered it vpon a stone vnto the
Lord: a the Angel did 'wonderously,' whiles
Manoah and his wife looked on.

20 For when the flame came vp toward hea-
uen from the altar, the Angell of the Lo'de
ascended vp in the flame of the altar, and
Manoah and his wife beheld it, and fell on
their faces vnto the ground.

21 (So the Angel of b Lo'de did no more ap-
peare vnto Manoah a his wife) The Ma-
noah knew it was an Angel of the Lord.

22 And Manoah laid vnto his wife, *ne shal
surely dye, because we haue feene God.

23 But his wife layd vnto him, If the Lo'de
would kill vs, he would not haue receyued a
k burnt offering, and a meat offering of our
hands, neyther would he haue shewed vs
all these things, no: would now haue tolde
vs any luch.

24 And the wife bare a sonne, called his
name Samon: and the childe grewe, and
the Lord blessed him.

25 And the Spirite of the Lo'de beganne to
"strengthen him in the hollse of Dan, be-
twene Zorah, and Echtael.

CHAP. XIII.

2 Samon deireth to haue a wife of the Philistins. 6 He hilleth a lion.
12 The propouberth a riddle. 19 He hilleth thynne, 20 his wife folow-
kyth him and takerth an other.

1 Now Samon went downe to Tim-
nath, and saw a woman in Timnath
of the Daughters of the Philistins,

2 And he came vp and told his father a his
mother, and saide, I haue seene a woma
n in Timnath of þ daughters of the Philistins:
now therefore t give me her to wife.

3 Then his father and his mother layd vnto
him, Js there neuer a wpe among the
daughters of thy biethen, a among all my
people, that thou must goe to take a wife of
the vncircumciled Philistins? And Sam-
son layde vnto his father, Giue mee her, for
the pleaseth me well.

4 But his father and his mother knewe not
that it came of the Lo'de, þ he shoulde feeke
an occasion against the b Philistins: for: at
þ time the Philistins reigned ouer Israel.

5 Then went Samon a his father a his
mother downe to Timnath, and came to
the vineardes at Timnath: and beholde, a
yong Lyon roared vpon him.

6 And the Spirite of the Lo'de came vpon
him, and he tare him, as one shoulde haue
tent a kid, and had nothing in his hande,
neþerþer he his father no: his mother
what he had done.

7 And he went downe, and talked with the
woman which was beautiful in the eyes of
Samon.

8 And within a few dapes, when he retur-
ned a to receiue her, he went abide to see the
tarkeis of the lion: and behold, there was a
swarne of bees, and honie in the bodie of
the Lion.

9 And he tooke thereof in his handes, a went
eating, and came to his father a to his mo-
ther, and gaue vnto them, and they did eat:
but he told not them, that he had taken the
hony out of the body of the Lyon.

10 So his father went downe vnto the wo-
man, and Samon made there a feast: for
so died the yong men to do.

11 And when they fawe him, they brought
thirtie companions to be with him.

12 Then Samon laid vnto them, I wil now
put fo:z a riddle vnto you : and if you cant
declare it me within feue dapes of the feast,
& finde it out, I wil give you thirtie sheets,
and thirtie ¨ change of garments.

13 But if you can not declare it me, then shall
ye give me thirtie sheets a thirtie change
of garments. And they anwered him, Put
fo:z thy riddle, that we may heare it.

14 And he layde vnto them, Out of the eater
came meat, a out of the strong came sweet-
nes: and they could not in three dapes ex-
pound the riddle.

15 And whc the seuenth day was come, they
said vnto Samons wife, Entitle thine hu-
band, that he may declare vs the riddle, left
we burne thee a thy father shoulbe with fire.
haue ye called vs, to poffele vs? is not fo?

16 And Samons wife wept before him, and
said, Surely thou hatest me and louest mee
not: for: thou hast put fo:z a riddle vnto the
h children of my people, and haft not tolde it
me. And he layde vnto her, Behold, I haue
not tolde it my father, no: my mother, and
shall I tell it thee?

17 The Samons wife wept before him feue
dapes, while their feast lasted: a when the
seuenth day came, he tolde her, because shee
was inpozunate vpon him: so he told the
riddle to the children of her people.

18 And the men of the citie layd vnto him the
seuenth day before the lune went downe,
no:hat is sweeter then honie? and what is
stronger then a Lyon? Then layde he vnto
them. k If ye had not plowed with my helk-
fer, ye had not found out my riddle.

19 And the Spirite of the Lo'de came vpon
him, a he went down to Abykelon, a slew

4 Samon teeth firebands to the fore tailes. 6 The Philistins burnt his father in lawe and his wife, 15 With the tawebone of anaffe he killeth a thousand men. 19 Out of a great tooth in the law God gaue him wace.

1 B ut within a while after, in the time of
wheate harvest, Samon diſtilled his
wife with a kid, laying, I wil go into
my wife into the chamber : but her father
would not suffer him to go in.

2 And her father layde, I thought that thou
hast hated her: therefore gaue I her to thy
companion. Is not her yonger fister layzer
then thee? take her, I pray thee, in stead of
the other.

3 Then Samon layd vnto them, Aowe am I more blamelesse then the Philistins: therefore will I do them displeasure.

4 And Samon went out, and tooke three
hundreth foxes, ¤ tooke firebands, and tur-
ned them talle to taile, and put a firebiande
in the muddes betwene two tayles.

5 And when he had let the brandes on fire,
he sent them out into the standing come of
the Philistins, ¤ burnt by both the riekes
and the standing come with the bineyards
and olues.

6 Then the Philistins layd, who hath done
this? And they anſwered, Samon þ sonne
in law of the Cinnite, because he had take
his wife, ¤ giuen her to his companion. Then
the Philistins came bp and ¤ burnt her and
her father with fire.

7 And Samon layd vnto them, Though ye
haue done this, yet wil I be auaged of you,
and then I will ceale.

8 So he smote them hippe and thigh with
a mightie plague: then he went and dwelt
in the top of the roche Etam.

9 Then the Philistins came bp, ¤ pitched
in Judah, and were spied abroad in Lehi.

10 And the men of Judah layde, whp are ye
come bp vnto vs? And they anſwered, To
binde Samon are we come bp, and to do
to him as he hath done to vs.

11 Then the three thousand men of Judah went
to the toppe of the roche Etam, and layd to
Samon, Knowe well thou not that the Phi-
litins are rulers ouer vs? 8 Wherofe then
hast thou done thus vnto vs? And he an-
swered them, As they did vnto me, so haue
I done vnto them.

12 Againe they layde vnto him, we are come
to binde thee, and to deliuer thee into the
hande of the Philistins. And Samon said
vnto them, Sweare vnto mee, that ye will
not fall vpon me your ſelues.

13 And they anſwered him, laying, Po, but
we will bynde thee and ¤ deliuer thee vnto
their hande, but we will not kill thee. And
they bound him with two new cordes, and
brought him from the roche.

14 When he came to Lehi, the Philistins
flouted against him, and the Spirite of the
Lorde came vpon him, and the cordes that
were vpon his armes, became as flare that
was burnt with fire: for the bandes loofed
from his hands.

15 And he found a new iawebone of anaffe,
and put forth his hande, and caught it, and
ſlewed a thousand men therewith.

16 The Samon said, With the iaw of anaffe
are heapes vpon heapes : with the iawe of
anaffe haue I layne a thousand men.

17 And when he had left speaking, he cast a
way the tawebone out of his hand, ¤ called
that place, Ramath-Lehi.

18 And he was soke a thirst, ¤ called on the
Lord, and layd, Thou haſt given this great
deliuereance into the hande of thy Sernaunt;
and now ſhal I dpe so: thirt, ¤ fall into the
hands of the vncircumciled?

19 The God brake the cheeke tooth, that was
in the iawe, and water came thereout: and
whhe he had duike, his Spirit came againe,
and he was revived : wherefore the name
thereof is called, " En-hakkore, which is in
Lehi vnto this day.

20 And he judged Israel in the dayes of the
Philistins twentie yeres.

T hen went Samon to a Azzah, I saw

And it was tolde to the Azzahites,
Samon is come hither. And they went a-
dout, and layde wayte for him all nyight in
the gate of the citie, and were quiet all the
night, laying, Abide till the morning early,
and we ſhal kill him.

And Samon slept till midnight, ¤ arose at
midnight, and tooke the doores of the gates
of the citie, ¤ the two postes and left them a-
wap with the barres, ¤ put them vpon his
shoulders, ¤ carried them bp to the top of the
mountaine that is before Hezion.

And after this he loued a woman by the
tuer of Sozek, whole name was Delilah:
Tinto whome came the princes of the Phi-
litins, and layd vnto her, Entile him, ¤ see
wherein his great ſtrength lyeth, and by
what meane wee may ouercome him, that
we may binde him, and punish him, and e-
uery one of vs ſhal give thee eleuen hüdieth

And Delilah said to Samon, Tel me, I
pray thee, wherein thy great ſtrength lieth,
and wherewith thou mightest be bound, to
do thee hurt.

Samon then anſwered vnto her, If they
binde mee with ſeuen greene cordes that
were neuer dyed, then shall I be weake, ¤
be as an other man.

And the princes of the Philistins brought
her ſeuen greene cordes that were not dye,

The Philistins be bpð thee, Samson. And
he blake the cordes, as a threede of towe is

was not knowen.

10 Akref Delilah said unto Samson, See,
thou haft mocked me and tolde mee lyes. I
praye thee nowe, t tell me wherevorth thou
mightest be bound.

f Though her falshode redeth
to make him to be his fire, yet
his affection to him blinded him, þ
he conto not bene.

11 Then he answered her, If they bind me to
neue ropes that neuer were occupied, then
thal I be weake, and be as an other man.

12 Delilah therefore tooke neue ropes, and
bound him therewith, a said unto him, The
Philistins be upon thee, Samson: (a men
lap in wapte in the chamber) and he blake
them from his armes, as a threede.

13 Afterward Delilah said to Samson, Hi-
therto thou haft beguiled me, and tolde me
lies: tell me howe thou mightest be bound.
s And he said unto her, If thou platted it fe-
uen lockes of mine head with the threedees
of the woufe.

g It is impo-
sible, if we give
placor to our
wicked affec-
tions, but at
length we shall

14 And he fastened it with a pinne, and sayd
unto him, The Philistins be upon thee,
Samson. And he awoke out of his sleepe,
and went away with the "pinne of the web
and the woufe.

e Or beane.

15 Agayne the layde unto him, Howe canst
thou say, h J loue thee, when thine heart is
not with mee? thou haft mocked mee these
thee times, and haft not tolde me wherein
thy great strength lyeth.

h For this Samson vouchs
to say. J loue

16 And because shee was importunate upon
him with her words continually, and bered
him, his soule was payned unto the death.

17 Therefore he tolde her all his heart, a laid
unto her, There neuer came rado: bpð mine
head: for I am a Nazarite unto God from
my mothers wombe: therefore if I be sha-
uen, my strength will go from me, a I shall
be weake, and be like all other men.

18 And when Delilah saue that he had tolde
her all his heart, shee sent, and called for: the
princes of the Philistins, laying, Come by
once againe: for he hath shewed mee all his
heart. Then the Princes of the Philistins
came by unto her, and brought the money
in their handles.

19 And shee made him sleepe upon her knees,
and shee called a man, a made him to haue
of the leuen lockes of his head, and shee be-
gan to bere him, a his strength was⁹ gone
from him.

k For the

20 The she laid, The Philistins be bpð thee,
Samson. And he awoke out of his sleepe, a
thought, I will goe out nowe as at other
times, and make mp selfe, but he knewe not
that the Lord was departed from him.

21 Therefore the Philistins tooke him, a put
out his eyes, a brought him downe to Az-
rah, and bounde him with fetters: and hee
did grinde in the prison house.

l Pet had he
not his stregh
aname, till he
had called by
God, a red car-
ried hundesse.

22 And the heare of his head began to grow
againe after that it was hauen.

23 Then the princes of the Philistins gathe-

red them together so to offer a great facti-
ence unto Dagon their god, and to reioyce:
so: they layd, Our god hath delivered Sà-
fon our enemie into our händes.

24 Also when the people sayd him, they pray-
fed their god: so they layde, Our god hath
delivered into our händes our enemie and
destroyer of our country, which hath flayne
many of vs.

25 And whé their hartes were mery, they said,
Call Sàlon, that he may make his pastime.
So they called Sàlon out of the prison
house, and he m was a laughing stock unto
them, a they let him betwene the pillers.

26 Then Samfon laid unto the servant that
led him by the hand, Leade me, that I may
touche the pillars that the house standeth
upon, and that I may leane to them.

27 (How the house was full of men and wo-
men; and there were all the Princes of the
Philistins: also upon the roofe were about
three thousand men and women that beheld
while Samon ' played)

28 Then Samfon called unto the Lord, and
said, O Lord God, I pray thee, thinke upon
me: O God, I beleech thee, tregethen me at
this time onely, that I may be † at once ‡ a
uenged of the Philistins for my two eyes.

29 And Samfon laid hold on the two middle
pillars whereupon the house fioode, and on
which it was borne: on the one with his
right hand, and on the other with his left.

30 Then sayd Samfon, o Let mee lose my life
with the Philistins: a he bowed him with
all his myght, and the house fell upon the
Princes, and upon all the people that were
therein. So the dead which he flewe at his
death were moe then they which hee had
flayne in his life.

31 Then his hethen, and all the house of
his father came downe and tooke him, and
brought him bp and buryed him bet weene

noah his father: now he had judged Israel

8

And the man departed out of the citie, e- uen out of Beth-lehem Judah, to dwell where he could find a place: and as he touneped, he came to mount Ephraim to the house of Michah.

9

And Michah laid vnto him, whence com- mest thou? And the Leuite answered him, g I come from Beth-lehem Judah, and go to dwell where I may finde a place.

Then Michah layd vnto him, Dwell with me, and be vnto me a father a Prieft, a J.

Then laid Michah, Now I know that the Lord will be h good vnto me, seeing I have a Leuite to my Prieft.

The children of Dan fende men to search the land. 11 Then come the five hundred and take the goddes, and the Prieft of Michah as way. 12 They deftrop Lailah. 13 They build it againe, 14 And let up idolatrie.

1

If those dayes there was no a King in Israel, and at the fame tyme the tribe of Dan brought them an inheritance to dwel in: for vnto that tyme all their inheritance had not fallen vnto them among the tribes of Israel.

2

Therefore the children of Dan ſent of their familie, ſue men out of their coakels, euen men expert in warre, out of Zorah & E- ta-taol, to viewe the land & search it out, & layd vnto them, b Go, and searche out the lande. Then they came to mount Ephraim to the house of Michah and lodged there.

3

When they were in the house of Michah, they knewe the c hove of the yong man the Leuite: and beeping turned in thither, they layd vnto him, who brought thee hither: or what makest thou in this place: a what half thou to do here?

4

And he answered them, Thus and thus dealeth Michah with mee, and hath hyred me, and I am his Prieft.

5

Algane they layd vnto him, Aske counfell now of God, that we may knowe whether the way which we go, halve prosperous.

6

And the Prieſt layd vnto them, d Go in peace: for the Lo: de gupdeth your waye which ye go.

7

Then the ſue men departed and came to

Lailah, and saw the people that were there- in, which dwelt careles, after the maner of the Zidontans, quiete and ſure, because no man made anie trouble in the lande, or v- furped any dominion: also they were farre from the Zidontans, and had no businesse with other men.

8

So they came againe vnto their biethc to Zorah and Echtaol: and their biethzen layd vnto them, what haue ye done?

9

And they answered, Ariſe, that we may go vp againth them: for we haue ſene the land, and surely it is very good, and e- de ye ſitte still: be not slouthful to go and enter to pol- leſſe the land:

10

If ye will goe, ye shall come vnto a care- leſſe people, and the countrap is large: e- God haty given it into your hande. It is a place which doeth lacke nothing that is in the worldde.

11

Then there departed thence of the fami- lie of the Danites, from Zorah and from Echtaol, to hundreth men appoynted with instruments of warre.

12

And they went vp, and pitched in Kiriath- fearim in Judah; wherofe they called that place, a Mahaneh-Dan vnto this day: and it is behinde Kiriath-fearim.

13

And they went thence vnto mount Eph- a-im, and came to the house of Michah.

14

Then answered the ſue men, that went to pie out the country of Lailah, and layd vnto their biethzen, f Knowe ye not, that there is in these houses an Ephod, and Teraphim, a grauen and a molten image? Now there- fore consider what ye haue to do.

15

And they turned thitherward and came to the house of the yong man the Leuite, euen vnto the house of Michah, and faluted him peaceably.

16

And the ſix hundreth men appointed with their weapons of warre, which were of the children of Dan, ſtoode by the entring of the gate.

17

Then the ſue men that went to spye out the lande, went in thither, and tooke the grauen image and the Ephod, and the Te- raphim, a the molten image: and the Prieſt ſtoode in the entring of the gate with the ſix hundreth men, that were appoynted with weapons of warre,

18

And the other went into Michahs house & fet the grauen image, the Ephod, and the Teraphim, and the molten image. The laid the Prieſt vnto them, what do ye?

19

And they answered him, Holde thy peace: lay thine hande upon thy mouth, and come with us to be our father and Prieſt. Woh- ther is it better d thou shouldest be a Prieſt vnto the house of one man, or that thou shouldest bee a Prieſt vnto a tribe and to a familie in Israel?

21 So he brought him into his house, and gave fodder unto his asses: and they washed their feete, and did eat and drinke.

22 And as they were making their hearts mercie, behold, the men of the citie, † wicked men belet the house round about, = sinote at the doore, and sape to this olde man the master of the house, laying, bring forth the man that came into thine house that we may know him.

Then * all the children of Israel went out, and the Congregation was gathered together as a one man, from

Dan to Beer-sheba, with þ land of Gilead,
vnto the b Lord in Hizpeh.

And the † chiefe of all the people, and al the
tribes of Israel assembled in the Congre-
gation of the people of God foure hundreth
thouland footmen that c drew sword.

3 Now the children of Benjamin heard that the children of Israel were gone up to Hizpeh) Then the children of Israel d said, Now is this wickednes committed?

4 And the same Leuite, the womans hu-
band that was flame, answered and laid, I
came vnto Gibeah that is in Benjamin
with my concubine to lodge,

5 And the " men of Gibeah arose against me,
and belet the house round about upon me
by night, thinking to have flame me, = haue
forced my concubine that he is dead.

6 Then I tooke my concubine, and cut her in pieces, and sent e her throughout all the countrep of the inheritance of Israel: for they have committed abomination = villenie in Israel.

7 Beholde, ye are all children of Israel: give your aduile, and counsel herein.

8 Then all the people aroie as one man, lay-
ing, There shall not a man of vs go to his
tent, neither any turne into his house.

9 But now this is that thing which we will do to Gibeah: we will go vp by lot against it.

f Before the
barbarous
this wicked-
ness.

10 And we wil take ten men of the hundred
throughout all the tribes of Israel, and an
hundreth of the thousand, and a thousandde
of ten thousand to bring e vitale for the peo-
ple that they may do ( when they come to
Gibeah of Benjamin) according to all the
villene, that it hath done in Israel.

20 That is, her
pieces, to eur
thee a

11 So all the men of Israel were gathered against the citie, knit together, as one man.

12 And the tribes of Israel sent men through all the b tribe of Benjamin, laying, what wickednes is this that is committed among you?

13 Now therefore deliver vs those wicked me
which are in Gibeah, that we may par the
to death, and put away euil from Israel:
but the children of Benjamin ¹ would not
obey the voree of their biethien the children
of Israel.

g Thee, our
hould haue

14 But the children of Benjamin gathered
them selues together out of the cities vnto
Gibeah, to come out and fight against the
children of Israel.

h Because they
would not

 declared them

therefore were

15 And þ children of Benjamin were nom-
bed at that time out of the cities fix and
twenty thousand men þ drew sword, beside
the inhabitants of Gibeah, which were
nombred seuen hundreth chosen men.

16 Of al this people were chosen hundreth cho-
sen men, being * left handed: all these could
ling stones at an heare breadth, and not

18 And the children of Israel arose, & went vp to the house of God, and alked of God, laying, which of vs shall go vp first to fight against the children of Beniamin? And the Lord said, Judah (halbe first).

19 Then the children of Israel arose vp early and camped against Gibeah.

20 And the men of Israel went out to battel against Beniamin, and the men of Israel put them selues in aray to fight against the beside Gibeah.

21 And the children of Beniamin came out of Gibeah, and slewe downe to the ground of the Israelites that day ¹ two and twentie thousand men.

22 And the people, the men of Israel plucked vp their hearts, & let their battaille against in aray in the place where they put them in aray the first day.

23 (For the children of Israel had gone vp and wept before the Lord vnto the euening, & had alked of the Lord, laying, Shall I go againe to battell against children of Beniamin my brethren? and the Lord said, Go vp by against them)

24 Then the children of Israel came neere against the children of Beniamin the second day.

25 Also the second day Beniamin came forth to meete them out of Gibeah, and slewe downe to the ground of the children of Israel againe eighteene thousand men: ¹ all they could handle the Sword.

26 Then all the children of Israel went vp a all the people came also vnto the house of God, and wept and kave there before the Lord and kafed that day vnto the euening, and offred burnt oftrings a peace oftrings before the Lord.

27 And the children of Israel alked the Lord (for ² there was the Arke of the couenant of God in those dayes,

28 And Phinehas the sonne of Eleazar, the sonne of Aaron ³ stood before it at that time) laying, Shall I yet go any moie to battell against the children of Beniamin my heathen, or shall I cease? And the Lord said, Go vp: for to moiowe I will deliuer them into your hand.

29 And Israel set men to lie in wait round about Gibeah.

30 And the children of Israel went vp against the children of Beniamin the third day, and put them selues in aray against Gibeah, as at other times.

31 Then the children of Beniamin comming out against the people, were ⁴ drawn from the citie : and they began to smite of the people and kill as at other times, euen by the wayes in the field (whereof one goeth vp to the house of God, and the other to Gibeah) upon a thirtie men of Israel.

32 (For the children of Beniamin said, They are fallen before vs, as at the first. But the children of Israel said, Let vs flee a plucke them away fro the citie vnto þ hie? waies)

33 And all þ men of Israel rose vp out of their place, and put them selues in aray at Baal-tamar: and the men that lay in waite of the Israelites came forth of their place, euen out of the medowes of Gibeah,

34 And they came ouer against Gibeah, ten thousand chosen men of all Israel, and the battel was sore : for they knew not that the ⁵ evil was neere them.

35 And the Lord smote Beniamin before Israel, and the children of Israel destroyed the Beniamites the same day five and twentie thousand and an hundred men: al they could handle the Sword.

36 So the children of Beniamin saue that they were stricken downe : for the men of Israel gaue place to the Beniamites, because they trusted to the men that lay in waite, which they had laid beside Gibeah.

37 And they that lay in waite hasted, a brake forth toward Gibeah, and the embuchoth "drew them selues along, and smote all the citie with the edge of the Sword."

38 Also the me of Israel had appointed a certaine time with the embuchoths, that they should make a great flame, and smoke rise vp out of the citie.

39 And when the men of Israel retired in the battel, Beniamin began to smite and kill of the men of Israel about thirtie perons: for they said, Surely they are striken down before vs, as in the first battel.

40 But when the flame began to arive out of the citie, as a pillar of smoke, þ Beniamites looked backe, and beholde, the flame of the citie began to ascend vp to heauen.

41 Then the men of Israel turned against, & the men of Beniamin were aftoned: for they saue that euil was neere them.

42 Therefore they fled before the men of Israel vnto the way of the wildernes, but the battel ouertook them: also they which came out of the cities, flew them ⁶ among them.

43 Thus they compassed the Beniamites about, and chased them ⁷ at ease, and ouer-rangethem, euen ouer against Gibeah on the Eastside.

44 And there were flaines of Beniamin eighteene thousand men, which were all men of warre.

45 And they turned a fled to the wildernes vnto the rocke of Rimmon : and the Israelites ⁸ glained of them by the way five thousand men, and purfued after them vnto Etdom, and slewe two thousand men of them,

46 So that all that were flaines that day of Beniamin, were five and twentie thousand men that drew Sword, which were all men of warre:

47 *But the hundred men turned and fled to the wildernes vnto the rock of Rimmon, and abode in the rocke of Rimmon oure moneths.

10 Then the fell on her face, and bowed her
selfe to the ground, a faide vnto him, How
haue I foud fauour in thine eyes, that thou
houldest know me, Seing I am a strager?

11 And Boaz answered, and laid vnto her, Al

unto thy mother in lawe, since the death of
thine hulband, and how thou haſt left thy
father and thy mother, and the land where
thou haſt boorne, and art come vnto a peo-
ple which thou knewest not in time past.

12 The L ORD recompence thy work and a
full reward be giuen thee of the L ORD God

13 Then he laid, Let me finde fauour in thy
fight, my L ORD : for thou haſt comfocted me,
and spoken comfortably vnto thy maide,
though J be not like to one of thy maides.

14 And Boaz faide vnto her, At the meale
time come thou hither, and eate of y bread,
and dip thy morsel in the vineger. And she
fate before the reapeers, and he reached her
parched come : and she did cate, and was
fufficed, and d left thereof.

15 And wh the arode to gleane, Boaz com-
manded his SERUANTS, laying, Let her gather
among the sheaues, a do not re buke her.

16 Also let fall some of the sheaues for her, and
let it lie, that she may gather it vp, and re-
buke her not.

17 So she gleaned in the fielde vntil euening,
and she threched that she had gathered, and
it was about an * Ephah of barly.

18 And he tooke it vp, and went into the
citie, and her mother in lawe saowe what
she had gathered: Also he s tooke forth, a
gaue to her that which she had refeued,
when he was sufficied.

19 Then her mother in lawe said vnto her,
Where haſt thou gleaned to day? a where
wrought est thou ? blessed be he, that knewe
thee. And she chewed her mother in lawe,
with whom she had wrought, and laid,
The mans name, with whom I wrought
to day, is Boaz.

20 And Naomi faide vnto her daughter in
lawe, Blessed be he of y L ORD : for he caufeth
not to do good to the living a to the b dead.
Algaine Naomi laid vnto her, The man is

21 And Ruth the Moabitelle laid, He laid al-
so certainly vnto me, Thou haſt be with

22 And Naomi answered vnto Ruth her
daughter in lawe, It is beſt, imp daughter,
that thou go out with his maides, that they
" meete thee not in an other fielde.

23 Then he kept her by the maides of Boaz,
to gather vnto the end of barly harueſt, and

1 Afterward Naomi her mother in lawe
said vnto her, Adp daughter, haſt not
I feeke a rest for thee, that thou maieſt
proſper?

2 Now also is not Boaz our kinsman, with
whole maides thou waſt ? beholde, he wol-
noweth barly to night in the " flooze.

3 Waſh thy ſelſe therefore, a anoint thee, a put
thy raiment vpon thee, a get thee downe to
the flooze : let not the b man know of thee,
vntil he haue left eating and drinking.

4 And when he shall sleepe, marke the place
where he layeth him downe, and go, a
vncouer the place of his feete, a lay thee down,
and he shall thee what thou haſt do.

5 And the anſwered her, Al that thou biddest
me, I will do.

6 So he went downe vnto the flooze, and
did according to all that her mother in law
bade her.

7 And when Boaz had eaten, and drunken, a
cheared his heart, he went to lie downe at
the end of the heape of corne, and she came
loſhly, and vncouered the place of his feete,
and lap downe.

8 And at midnight the man was aſkayde
a and caught holde : and lo, a woman lay at
his feete.

9 Then he laid, who art thou? And the an-
swered, I am Ruth, thine handmaiden: I read
therefore y wing of thy garment ouer thine
handmaiden : for thou art the kinsman.

10 Then said he, Blessed be thou of the L ORD,
my daughter : thou haſt d chewed more
goodnes in the latter end, then at the be-
ginning, in as much as thou followedst not
pong men, were thep pooze oz riche.

11 And now, my daughter, keare not: I will
Do to thee all that thou requireſt: for al the
citie of my people doeth knowe, that thou
art a vertuous woman.

12 And now, it is true that I am thy kinsman,
howbeit there is a kinsman neerer then J.

13 Tary to night, and when morning is come,
if he e wil do the duetic of a kinsman vnto
thuee, wel, let him do the kinsmans duetic:
but if he wil not do the kinsmans part, then
wil I do the duetic of a kinsman, as y L Ord
liueth : sleepe vntil the morning.

14 And the lay at his feete vntill the mo-
ning: and the arode before one could knowo
another: for he laid, Let no man know, that
a woman came into the flooze.

15 Also he laid, Bring the " feete that thou
haſt vpon thee, and holde it. And when she
held it, he measured ſix meaſures of barly, a
layed them on her, and went into the citie.

16 And when he came to her mother in law,
she said, who art thou, my daughter? And
she tolde her all that the man had done to
her,

17 And said, These ſix meaſures of barly gatue

16 And if any man ſaid vnto him, Let them
burne the fat according to the " custome, the
take as much as thine heart " deſireth:
then he would anſwere, No, but thou shall
give it now: and if thou wilt not, I will
take it by force.

17 Therefore the limer of the yong men was
very great before the Lord : for men ab-
hored the offring of the Lord.

18 Now Samuel being a pong childe mi-
nifred before the Lord, girded with a linen
* Ephod.

19 And his mother made him a little coat, and
brought it to him from pere to pere, when
he came vp with her husband, to offer the
perely ſacrifice.

20 And Eli bleſſed Elkanah and his wife, a
ſaid, The Lord giue thee ſeede of this wo-
man, for, " the petition that he aſked of the
Lord; and they departed vnto their place.

21 And the Lord diſuited Hannah, so that she
conceived, and bare three ſonnes, and two
daughters. And the childe Samuel grewe
before the Lord.

22 So Eli was very old, and heard al that
his ſonnes did vnto all Israel, a how they

lap with the women that? ſammelled at the
dooze of J Tabernacle of J Congregation.

23 And he faile vnto them, why do ye ſuch
things? for of al this people J heare euil re-
portes of you.

24 Do no more, my ſonnes: for it is no good re-
port that J heare, which is, that ye make J
Lords people to t trefpalle.

25 If one man ſinne against another, J ſide
shall uſide it: but if a man ſinne againſt the
Lord, who will pleade for him? Notwith-
standing they obeyed not the boſce of their
father, because the Lord * would ſlay them.

26 Now the childe Samuel profited and
grewe a was in favour both with the Lord
and alſo with men.

27 And there came a man of God vnto Eli, a
ſaid vnto him, Thus faithful the Lord, Did
not I plainly appeare vnto the house of thy
father, when they were in Egypt in Pha-
raohs house?

28 And Jefchoe him out of al the tribes of J-
rael to be my Driekt, to offer vpon mine al-
tar, and to burne incene, a to weare an E-
phod before me, and J gaue vnto the houſe
of thy father all the offrings made vp by ſire of
the children of Israel.

29 Wherefore hane you * kicked against my
ſacrifice and mine offring, which I com-
manded in my Tabernacle, and honoureſt
the children about me, to make your ſelues
fat of the first fruits of all the offrings of
Israel my people?

30 Wherefore the Lord God of Israel faith, I
ſaid, that thine houſe and the houſe of thy
father should walke before me for euer: but
now the Lord faith, " It shall not be for: so
them that honour me, I will honour, a they
that diſpife me, ſhalbe despiled.

31 Behold, the dapes come, that I will cut of
thine * arme, and the arme of thy fatners
house, that there shall not be an old man in
thine houſe.

32 And thou * shall fee thine enemie in the ha-
bitation of the Lord in all things where-
with God shall bleſſe Israel, and there ſhal
not be an olde man in thine houſe for euer.

33 Neuertheleſſe, I will not deſtroy euery one
of thine from mine altar, to make thine cies
to faile, and to make thine heart ſo woful:
and al the multitude of thine houſe ſhal * die
when they be men.

34 And this * halbe a ſigne vnto thee, that
shall come vpon thy two ſonnes Hophni a
Phinehas: in one day they ſhal die both.

35 And I wil firre me vp a * faithful Driekt,
that shall do according to mine heart and
according to my minde : and I will builde
him a ſure houſe, and he shall walke before
mine Anointed for euer.

36 And all that are left in thine houſe, shall
come and * bove downe to him for a piece
of ſluer and a moſſell of head, and ſhal ſay,
A ppoint me, I, Appoint thee, to one of the
Driekts offices, that I may eate a moſſell of
head.

14 Then layde Samuel unto the people, Come, that we may go to Gilgal, and renue the kingdome there.

15

15 So all the people went to Gilgal, as made Saul king there before the Lord in Gilgal: and there they offred peace offerings before the Lo'de: and there Saul and all the men of Israel reioyced exceedingly.

1 Samuel declaring to the people his integrity, rejoycheth their ingratitute. 19 God by miracle canne the people to confute their sinne, 20 Samuel reioycheth the people to follow the Lo'd.

1 Samuel the said unto al Israel, Behold, I have a hearkened unto your boye in all that ye layd unto mee, and haue appointed a King ouer you.

17 I haue granted to you your boye.

2

2 Now therefore behold, your King walketh before you, and I am olde as gray headed, and behold, my sonnes are with you: and I haue walked before you from my childhode unto this day.

18 In God's presence, you in peace and warre.

3 Beholde, here I am: * beare record of me before the Lo'de and before his Anoynted. * Whole ore haue I taken: or whole as haue I take: or who haue I done wise to: or who haue I hurt: or of whose baine haue I receyued any bube, to blinde mine eyes there with, and I wil restore it you?

20 God would that this consell should be a patrene for al the rest that haue any charge of office.

4 Then they layde, Thou haft done vs no wrong, nor hast hurt vs, nepther hast thou taken ought of any mans hand.

5

5 And he said unto them, The Lord is witness against you, and his Anoynted is witness this day, that ye have found nought in mine hands. And they answere, He is witness.

6 *Then Samuel layd unto the people, It is the Lo'de that * made Moles & Aaron, and that brought your fathers out of the lande of Egypt.

6 Then Samuel layd unto the people, It is the Lo'de that * made Moles & Aaron, and that brought your fathers out of the lande of Egypt.

*O, exalted.

7

7 Now therefore stand still, that I may reason with you before the Lo'de according to all the *righteousnes of the Lo'd, which he chewed to you and to your fathers.

*O, benefits.

8 *After that Jaakob was come into Egypt, and your fathers cryed unto the Lo'd, then the Lo'de * sent Moles and Aaron which brought your fathers out of Egypt, as made them dwel in this place.

10 And they cryed into the Lo'de, and layde, We haue finned, because we haue forsaken the Lo'de, and haue ferued Baalim and Ahtaroth. Now therefore deliver vs out of

the hands of our enemies, and we will serve thee.

11

11 Therefoe the Lo'de sent Jerubbaal and Bedan and * Jephthah, and * Samuel, & de-luiered you out of the hands of your ene-mies on every side, and ye dwelled safe.

12 That is, Hes-lon, Judg. 1:13, 2:5, Judg. 11:1, Chap. 4:1.

13 Now therefore behold the king whome ye haue chosen, and whome ye haue desired: lo therefore, the Lord hath set a King ouer you. 14 If ye will feare the Lo'de and serve him, and hear his boye, and not disobey the word of the Lo'de, both ye, and the King that reygneth ouer you, shall follow the Lord your God.

14 Ye shall be prouised as they that follow the Lo'ds will.

15

15 But if ye will not obey the boye of the Lo'de, but disobey the Lo'des mouth, then shall the hand of the Lord be upon you, and on your * fathers.

16 Now also stande and see this great thing which the Lord will do before your eyes.

17

17 Is it not nowe wheat harvest? I will call unto the Lo'de, and he shall sende thunder and rayne, that ye may perceire & see, howe that your wickednesse is great, which ye haue done in the light of the Lo'd in asking you a King.

18 In that ye have forsaken him, who hath all power in his hands, for a noitium alman.

18

18 Then Samuel called into the Lo'de, and the Lo'de sent thunder and rayne the same day: and all the people feared the Lord and Samuel exceedingly.

19

19 And al the people said unto Samuel, I lay for: thy seruants unto the Lord thy God, that we Dye not: for we haue finned in asking vs a King, before all our other sinnes.

20 *I am able as other times, but nowe chiefes.

20

20 And Samuel said unto * people, Feare not. (ye haue in deed done all this wickednes,)* yet depart not from following the Lo'd, but serve the Lord with all your heart.

21 In that there is no man so great, but it that he maye foygurn, if this finner turnes as game to God.

21

21 Nepther turne ye backe: for that should be after baine things which cannot pioſite you, nor deliver you, for they are but banitie.

22 For the Lo'de will not forſake his people for his great names ſake: because it hath pleaed the Lo'de to make you a his people.

23 *Of his free mercie, & not of your merits, & therefore he will not forſake you.

23

23 Moreover God forſid, that I should finne against the Lo'de, as a ceale praying for you, but I wil chewe you the good & right way.

24

24 Therefore feare you the Lo'de, and serve him in the trueth with all your hearts, and consider howe great thinges he hath done for you.

25 *Unfaindeably, and without opparition.

1.Samuel. Israël oppreffed by the Philiftims.

Michnaß, and in mount Beth-el, and a
thouland were with Jonathan in Gibeah
of Benjamin: and the rest of the people hee
fent every one to his tent.

And Jonathan smote the garison of the Philiftims, that was in the hill; as it came to the Philiftims eares: and Saul blewe the d trumpet throughout all the lande, laying Heare, D ye Chieues.

And all Israel heard laye, Saul hath de-
stroyed a garison of the Philiftims: where-
fore Israel was had in abomination with
the Philiftims; and the people gathered to-
gether after Saul to Gilgal.

The Philiftims also gathered thekelues
together to fight with Israel, thirtie thou-
land charretes, and six thouland hozemè: for
the people was like the land which is by the
seas'ide in multitude, as came bp, as pitched
in Michnaß Eſtward from Beth-auen.
And when the men of Israel law that they
were in a ktaite (for the people were in di-
fresse ) the people hid themſelues in caues,
and in holds, and in rockes, and in towers,
and in pittes.

And some of the Chieues went ouer Jor-
den unto the land of Gad and Eilead; and
Saul was yet in Gilgal, as all the people fo:
ſeaſe folow'd him.

And he taryed ſeven dayes, accoing to
the tyne that Samuel had appoypned:
but Samuel came not to Gilgal, therefor:
the people were ſ scattered from him.

And Saul layd, Bring a burnt offering to
me; peace offeringes: and he offred a burnt
offring.

And alloone as he had made an ende of ol-
ſing the burnt offering, beholde, Samuel
came : and Saul went ſoſth to meete him,
to ſalute him.

And Samuel layd, What haſt thou done?
Then Saul layd, Because I lawe that the
people was h scattered from mee, and that
thou cameſt not within the dayes appoyn-
ted, and that the Philiftims gathered them
ſelues together to Michnaß,

Therefore layde J, The Philiftims will
come downe nowe vpon me to Gilgal, and
I haue not made supplication vnto the
Lorde. I was bolde thereſore and offred a
burnt offering.

And Samuel layde to Saul, Thou haſt
done foolishly : thou haſt not kept the com-
mandemèt of the Lord thy God, which he
commanded thee: for the Lord had nowe ſta-
blished thy kingdome vpon Israel fo: euer.

But now thy kingdom shall not continue:
the Lord hath ſought him a k man after his
owne heart, and the Lo'de hath comman-
ded him to be governour ouer his people,
because thou haſt not kept that which the
Lord had commanded thee.

And Samuel aroſe, and gat him bp from
Gilgal in Gibeah of Benjamin: and Saul
numbred the people that were founde with
him, about ſix hundred men.

And Saul, Jonathan his ſonne, and the
people that were found with the, had their
abding in Gibeah of Benjamin : but the
Philiftims pitched in Michnaß.

And there came out of the hoſt of the Philiftims three bandes to deſtroy, one bande turned into the waye of Ophiah vnto the land of Shual.

And another bande turned towarde the
way to Beth-horon, and the third bande
turned towarde the waye of the coaſt that
looketh towarde the valley of Eboim, to-
ward the wildernſe.

Then there was no ſmith found through-
out all the land of Israel: for the Philiftims
said, Left the Chieues make them twoſds
or speares.

Wherefore all the Israelites went downe
to the Philiftims, to harpen euery man his
ſhaſe, his mattocke, and his are, as his wee-

Pet thep had a file ſo: the hares, as the

So what the day of battel was come, there
was neither a word nor speare found in the
hands of any of the people that were with
Saul with Jonathan: but only to Saul
and Jonathan his ſonne was there found.

And Saul taryed in the boſder of Gibeah
under a pomegranate tree, which was in

were about ſix hundred men.

And Abiah the ſonne of Akitub, *Jehaods* brother, the ſonne of Dinehas, the ſonne of Elt, was the Lôdes Dicest in Shiloh, and ware an Ephod; and the people knewe not that Jonathan was gone.

Nowe in the waye whereby Jonathan

there was a charpe rocke on the one ſide,

the one was called Bozez, and the name of

The one rocke stretched from the North
toward Michnaß, and the other was from

I. Samuel. The Amalekites are destroyed.

39 To: as the Lord lieth, which saueth) Israe, though it be done by Jonathan my sonne, he shall dye the death. But none of all the people answered him.

40 Then he laid unto all Israel, Be ye on one side, and Jz Jonathan my sonne will be on the other side. And the people layde unto Saul, Do what thou thinkest best.

41 Then Saul laid unto Jz Loide God of Israel, Giue a perfite loc. And Jonathan and Saul were taken, but the people escaped.

42 And Saul laid, Cast lo for betweene me and Jonathan my sonne. And Jonathan was taken.

43 Then Saul layde to Jonathan, Tell mee what thou hast done. And Jonathan tolde him, and said, I tasted a little hony with the end of the rod, that was in mine hand, and lo, I must dye.

44 Again Saul answered, God do lo a more also, vnlesse thou die the death, Jonathan.

45 And the people layde unto Saul, I Shall Jonathan dye, who hath so mightily delivered Israel? God forbid. As the Loide lieth, there hal not one heare of his head fal to the grounde: for he hath wought with God this day. So the people delivered Jonathan that he dyed not.

46 Then Saul came bp frö the Philistins; a the Philistins went to their owne place.

47 So Saul held the kingdom ouer Israel, a fought against al his enemies on euery side, against Moab, and against the childre of Ammon, and against Edom, a against the Kings of Zobah, and against the Philistins; a whitherfoever he went, he handled them as wicked men.

48 He gathered also an hoste and smore. A. malek, a delivered Israel out of the hands of them that poyled them.

49 Nowe the sonnes of Saul were Jonathan, II and Ishui, and Malchishua: and the names of his two daughters, the elder was called Hcrab, and the yonger was named Michal.

50 And the name of Sauls wife was Ahinoam the daughter of Ahimaa: a the name of his chief captaine was Jbner the sonne of Jef, Sauls vncle.

51 And Kish was Sauls father: and Jef the father of Jbner was the sonne of Abiel.

52 And there was soie warre against J Philistins al the dayes of Saul: a whomfoever Saul saue to be a strong man, a meete for the warre, he tooke him unto him.

3 Saul is commanded to lay Amalek, 4 He spareth Agag, and the belt rhinous. 19 Samuel revieput him. 28 Saul is reieried of a Loide, 33 his kingdom is given to another. 33 Samuel heveth Agag in pierce.

1 Afterward Samuel layd unto Saul, * The Loide sent mee to anoynt thee king ouer his people ouer Israel; now therefore a obey the doyce of the wordes of the Lo.d.

2 Thus faith the Lord of hostes, I remember what Amalek did to Israel, how they laid waite for them in the way, as they came bp from Egypt.

3 Nowe therefore go, and smite Amalek, and destroy yeal of that perteinemt unto them, and haue no compassion on them, but flap both man a woman, both infant a suckling, both ore, and theepe, both ramell, and affe.

4 And Saul assembled the people, a nombed the in Telaim, two hundred thousand footemen, and ten thousand men of Judah.

5 And Saul came to a citie of Amalek, a and let watch at the ruer.

6 And Saul laid unto the Kenites, Go, depart, and get you downe from among the Amalekites, least I destroy you with them: for ye shewed a mercie to all the children of Israel, who they came bp from Egypt: and the Kenites departed from among the Amalekites.

7 So Saul smote the Amalekites from Hauilah as thou commest to Shur, that is before Egypt.

8 And tooke Agag the King of the Amalekites alive, a destroyed all the people with the edge of the word.

9 But Saul a the people spared Agag, and the better theepe, and the oxen, and the fatte beatees, and the lambes, and all that was good, and they would not destroy them: but every thing that was bile a nought worth, that they destroyed.

10 Then came the word of the Loide unto Samuel, saying,

11 It: repenteth me that I haue made Saul King: for he is turned from mee, and hath not performed my commandementes. And Samuel was mooued, and cryed unto the Lord all night.

12 And when Samuel arose earely to meete Saul in the morning, one tolde Samuel, saying, Saul is gone to Carmel: and behold, he hath made him there a place, from whence he returned, and departed, and is gone downe to Gilgal.

13 Then Samuel came to Saul, a Saul layd unto him. Blested be thou of the Lord, I haue fulfilled the commandement of the Loide.

14 But Samuel said, What meaneth the bleating of the sheep in mine eares, and the lowing of the oxen which I heare?

15 And Saul answered, They haue brought them from the Amalekites: for the people spared the best of the theepe, and of the oxen to sacrifice them unto the Loide thy God, a the remnant haue we destroyed.

16 Againe Samuel said to Saul, Let me tell thee what the Loide hath layd to mee this night. And he laid unto him, Say on.

17 Then Samuel layde, when thou walt s little in thine owne light, walt thou not made the head of the tribes of Israel? for the Lord anointed thee King ouer Israel.

18 And the Loide sent thee on a journey, and layde, Go, and destroy those sinners the Amalekites, a fight againstst them, vntill thou destroy them.

19 Nowe wherefore haſt thou not obeyed the doyce

said, Behold, I haue seen a 'sonne of Jhai,

was his armour bearer.

22 And Saul lent to Jhali, sayling, Let Da-

killeth Goliath, and the Philistins flee.

1 N OWE the Philistins gathered their armies to battell, & came together to Shochoh, which is in Judah, & pitched betweene Shochoh and Izekah, " in the coast of Damumm.

2 And Saul, and the men of Israel affeem-
bled, and pitched in the valley "of Elah, and
put them felues in battel araye to meete the
Philistins.

3 And the Philistins stooode on a mountaine
on the one side, and Israel stood on a moun-
taine on the other side : so a valley was be-
twene them.

4 Then came a man betweene them * both
out of the tentes of the Philistins, named
Goliath of Gath: his height was like cubites
and an hand breadth,

5 And had an helmet of brasse vpon his head,
and a "brigandine vpon him: and þ weight
of his brigandine was kue thouande b the-
kels of brasse.

6 And he had "bootes of brasse bpδ his legs,
and a shield of brasse vpon his shoulders.

7 And the shaft of his speare was like a wea-
ners beame: and his speare head weyed like
hundreth thekels of yon: and one bearing a
shield went before him.

8 And he stooode, and cryed against the hofte
of Israel, and layde vnto them, whp are ye
come to let pour battell in aray? am not Ia
Philistim, and you seruants to Saul? chuse
you a man for you, and let him come downe
to mee.

*O, in Epher-
dammon.

*O, of the oke.

*O, coat of

b That is, 16

*O, greaves.

*O, greaves.

9 If he be able to fight with me, and 'hail me,
then will we be your seruants : but if Jo-
uercome him, and kill him, then shall ye be
our seruants, and serue hs.

10 Also the Philistim said, I desie the hofte of
Israel this daye: giue mee a man, that we
may fight" together.

11 When Saul & al Israel heard those words
of the Philistim, they were disfouraged, &
greatly atrayed.

12 Iª Nowe this Dauid was the * Sonne of an
Ephathite of Beth-lehem Judah, named
Jhali, which had eight Sonnes: and " this
man was taken for an old man in the dates
of Saul.

13 And the three eldest Sonnes of Jhali went
and followed Saul to the battell : and the
names of his three Sonnes þ went to battel,
were Eliab the eldest, and the next Abina-
dab, and the third Shanumah.

14 So David was the least: and the three el-
dest went after Saul.

15 David also went, but he returned from
Saul to feed his fathers sheep in Beth-lehem.
16 But there was not a man.

16 And the Philistim drew neere in the mo-
ning, & euening, & continued fourtie daies.

17 And Jhali layde vnto David his Sonne,
a Take nowe for thy beethen an Epha of
this parched come, and thefe ten cakes, and
tun to the hofte to thy beethen.

18 Also carpe these ten krebe theeles vnto the
captaine, and looke how thy beethen fare,
and receive their * pledge.

19 ( Then Saul and they, and all the men of
Israel were in the valley of Elah, fighting
with the Philistins)

20 So David rose vp early in the morning,
and left the heepe with a keeper, and tooke
and went as Jhali had commaunded him,
and came within the compalle of the hofte:
and the hofte went out in aray, and flouted
in the battell.

21 Fo: Israel & the Philistims had put them-
felues in aray, armie against armie.

22 And Dauid left the things, which he bare,
under the handes of the keeper of the * car-
age, and ran into the hofte, and came, and
afked his beethen: how they did.

23 And as he talked with them, beholde, the
man that was betweene þ two armies, came
bp., ( whole name was Goliath þ Philistim
of Gath) out of the arm of the Philistims,

CHAP. XVIII.

1. The amitie of Jonathan and David. 3 Saul enueth David for the plane that the women gaue him. 11 Saul would haue him David. 17 He pioneth him 12er ab to wife, but guth him Michal. 27 David deluereth Saul two hundred fortheins of the Philistins. 29 Saul fleeth David, gaing that the Lord is with him.

a This affection was fully bent toward him.

And what he had made an ende of speaking unto Saul, the a soule of Jonathan was knit with b soule of David, c Jonathan loued him, as his owne soule.

2 And Saul tooke him that day, and would not let him returne to his fathers house.

3 Then Jonathan and David made a couiant: for he loued him as his owne soule.

4 And Jonathan put of the robe that was upon him, and gaue it David, and his garments, even to his sword, and to his bowe, and to his girdle.

5 And David went out whitherfoeuer Saul sent him; and behaued himselfe b wisely: so b Saul let him ouer the men of warre, and he was accepted in the light of all the people, alio in the light of Sauls seruants.

b That is, he polyred in al his doming.

6 When they came againe, and David returned fro the flaughter of the c Philistin, the women came out of all cities of Israel, singing and dauncing to meet King Saul, with timbels, with instruments of top, and with rebeckes.

c To wit, God lieth.

7 And the women f sang by course in their play, and laid, g Saul hath slayne his thousand, and David his ten thousand.

f He answered, playing. Chap. 21. II. and 27. ccc. 47-69.

8 Therefore Saul was exceeding woth, and the laying displeased him, and hee layde, They haue ascribed unto David ten thousande, and to mee they haue ascribed but a thousande, and what can he haue more faue the kingdome?

9 Wherefore Saul d had an eye on David from that day forward.

d Because he bare him enup and hatred.

10 And on the morowe, the enuill spite of God came upon Saul, e the prophecied in the middes of the house: and David played with his hande like as at other tymes, and there was a speare in Sauls hand.

e That is, haake as a man, but hee himselfe: for so the pres. pple abuethius wode, when they could not underland.

11 And Saul tooke f speare, and layd, I will finite David through to the wall. But David auopded twowe out of his psefence.

12 And Saul was afraped of David, because the Lord was with him, and was departed from Saul.

13 Therefore Saul put him from him, and made him a captaine ouer a thousand, and he went g out and in before the people.

f Meaning, he was captaine ouer y people.

14 And David behaued himselfe wilely in all his wayes: for the Lord was with him.

15 Wherefore when Saul sawe that he was very wife, he was atrayped of him.

16 For all Israel z Judah loued David, because he went out and in before them.

17 Then Saul layde to David, Beholde meyne eldest daughter Herab, her I will give thee to wife: onely be a valiant soune unto me, and g fight the Lords battels: for Saul thought, Nine hand shall not be vpon him, but the hande of the Philistins (as) heal vpon him.

g. Fight as gainst the that warre against Gods people.

18 And David answered Saul, what am I?

and what is my life, or the familie of my father in Israel, that I should be bee sonne in law to the king?

19 Howbeit when Herab Sauls daughter should haue bene given to David, b she was given vnto Adriel a Neholathite to wife.

20 Then Michal Sauls daughter loued David: and they thewed Saul, a the tying pleased him.

21 Therefore Saul laid, I will giue him her, that shee may be a i snare to him, and that the hand of the Philistins may be agaynst him. Wherofe Saul layd to David, Tho] shall this day be my sonne in law in the one of the twoaine.

22 And Saul commanded his seruants, Speake with David secretly, and laye, Behold, the King hath a fauour to thee, and all his seruants loue thee: be now therefore the Kings sonne in lawe.

23 And Sauls seruantes spake these wordes in the eares of David. And David layde, k Seemeth it to you a lyght thing to bee a Kinges sonne in lawe, seeing that I am a pooie man and of small reputation?

24 And then Sauls seruants bought him worde againe, laying, Such wordes spake David.

25 And Saul layde, This wife shall ye lay to David, The King delireth no domowe, but an hundred forekinnes of the Philistins, to bee auenged of the Kings enemies: for Saul thought to make David fall into the hands of the Philistins.

26 And when his seruants tolde David these wordes, i pleased David well, to bee the l Kings sonne in lawe: and the dayes were not expired.

27 Afterwarde David arose with his men, f went and lew of the Philistins two hundred men: and David bought their forekinnes, and m they gaue them wholy to the King that he might be the Kings sonne in lawe: therefore Saul gaue him Michal his daughter to wife.

28 Then Saul sawe, g underfroode that the Lorde was with David, and that Michal the daughter of Saul loued him.

29 Then Saul was more and more h atrayd of David, and Saul became alway David's enemie.

30 And when the Princes of the Philistins went forth, at their going forth, o David behaued him selfe more wilely the i s seruants of Saul, so that his name was much set by.

g To whom he had five fons, which David put to death at the reuerend of the Sibbontines, 2 Sam. 21. 8.

i So his hypocrisie appeared: for under y experience of his own, he bought his himselfe徒.

k Meaning, that he was not able to lose his wife with riches.

l Because he thought him after all the kingdome.

m Meaning, David g his f ounders.

n To be depriued of his kingdom.

o That is, David had better success against the Philistins the Sauls me.

3 And I will go out, and stand by my father in the field where thou b art, and will comune with my father of thee, and I will see what he faith, and will tell thee.

4 And Jonathan spake good of David into Saul his father, and layd unto him, Let not the Kinginne against his fervant, a gaynst David: for hee hath not finned against thee, but his wookes haue bene to thee very good.

slew the Philistim, and the Lord wrought
a great faluation for all Israel: thou faueft
it, and thou reiopedst: wherefore then wilt
thou finne against innocent blood, and flap

6 Then Saul heathened unto the boyle of Jonathan, and Saul c ware, As the Lord liueth, he ch not dye.

c Whatcougher

7 So Jonathan called David, a Jonathan hewed him all those words, and Jonathan brought David to Saul, a hee was in his prefence as in times past.

8 Calgayne the warre beganne, and David went out and fought with the Philistins, and flewe them with a great slaughter, and they fled from him.

d He plated on

9 And the eul spirit of the Lord was upon Saul, as hee fate in his house hauing his speare in his hande, a David a played with his hand.

10 And Saul intended to finite David to the wall with the speare ; but hee turned aside out of Sauls prefence, a he smote the speare against the wall : but David fled, and eſcaped the fame night.

11 Saul also ſent meſſengers into Dauids house, to watche him, and to flap him in the moning: and Michal Dauids wife tode it him, laying, Jk thou ſaue not thy ſelke this night, to moſtow thou ſhalt be ſlaine.

e This God
moned both

ter of this pa
rant to favour
David against

12 So Michal e let David downe through a windowe: and he went, a fled, and eſcaped.

13 Then Michal tooke an image, and layed it in the bed, and put a pilowe stuffed with goates heare under the head of it, and couered it with a cloth.

f Behold, how

acquish their
rage, neither

14 And when Saul ſent meſſengers to take David, he laid. He is ſicke.

15 And Saul ſent the meſſengers agayne to see David, laying, Bring him to mee in the bed, that I may flap him.

16 And when the meſſengers were come in, beholde, an image was in the bed, with a pilow of goates heare under the head of it.

17 And Saul layde into Michal, Why haſt thou mocked mee so, and ſent a way mine eſtemie, that he is eſcaped? And Michal anſWERED Saul, He laid into me, Let me go, or els I wil kill thee.

g A Saith was
a chale where
the booke of
God was in

Ramah.

18 So David fled, and eſcaped, and came to Samuel to Ramah, and told him al that Saul had done to him : and he a Samuel went and dwelt in a Aioth.

19 But one tode Saul, laying, Behold, Da-

uid is at Aioth in Ramah.

20 And Saul ſent meſſengers to take David: a when they ſawe a companie of Prophets prophecying, and Samuel standing h as appointed ouer them, the Spirit of God ſel upon the meſſengers of Saul, and they al o i prophecied.

21 And when it was told Saul, he ſent other meſſengers, and they prophecyed like wife: again Saul ſent the third meſſengers, and they prophecied alſo.

22 Then went he him ſelke to Ramah, and came to a great well that is in Sechu, and he aſked, and ſaid, where are Samuel and David? and one layde, Beholde, they be at Aioth in Ramah.

23 And he k went thither, euen to Aioth in Ramah, and the Spirit of God came upon him alſo, and he went prophecying vntill he came to Aioth in Ramah.

24 And he ſtript of his 1 clothes, and he p20 phecied alſo before Samuel, a fell m downe naked all that day and all that night: there21 fore they laye, * Is Saul alſo among the Prophtes?

1 Jonathan comfortheth David, 2 T en ronne their leaguie, 31 Saul woule hane killeth Jonathan, 38 Jonathan abnorteth David by three arrows, of his faſters ſinre.

A Sd David a fled from Aioth in Rama, a came a layd before Jonathan. What haue I done? what is mine iniquitie? and what line me haue I committed before thy father, that he feeketh my life?

And he layde vnto him, God ſobid, thou
shalt not dye: beholde, my father will doe
nothing great nof small, but he will: he weſ
it mee: and why should my father hide this
tying from mee? he will not do it.

And David ſware againe and layde, Thy father knoweth that I haue found grace in thyne eyes : therefore hee thinketh, Jona than shall not knowe it, left he be ſorie: but in deede, as the Lorde lyneth, and as thy soule liueth, there is but a b steppe betweene mee and death.

4 Then laid Jonathan into David, what
foeuer thy soule † requireth, that I will doe
unto thee.

5 And David layd into Jonathan, Behold, to mozowe is the c first day of the moneth, and I should ſit with the King at meat; but let mee goe, that I may hide my ſelke in the fields vnto the third day at even.

6 If thy father make mention of me, the ſay, David aſked leaue of mee, that he might go to Beth-lehem to his owne citic: for there is a d perely ſacrifice for all that kafilie.

7 And if he ſay thus, It is well, thy ſeruaint shall haue peace: but if he be angrie, be ſure that wickednes is concluded of him.

8 So that thou thewe mercie into the ſer-

that from thee: for; if I knewe that wickednes were e concluded of my father to come upon thee, would not I tell it thee?

10 Then said David to Jonathan, who 'hal tell me? howe shall I knowe, if thy father answere thee cruelly?

11 And Jonathan kayde to David, Come and let us go out into the field; and they twaine went out into the field.

12 Then Jonathan sayd to David, O Lo'de God of Israel, when I haue groped my fathers mind to morow at this time, or with-in this three dayes, and if it be well with David, and I then send not unto thee, and shew it thee,

g The Lo'de
sauith me

13

The Lord s do and much more vnto Jonathan: but if my father haue minde to do thee euill, I will shewe thee albo, and sende thee away, that thou mayest goe in peace: and the Lo'de be with thee as he hath bene with my father.

14

Like wise I require not whiles I line: for I doubt not but thou wilt shewe me the mercie of the Lord, h that I die not.

15

But I require that thou cut not of thy mercie from mine house for euerr: no, not when the Lo'de hath destroyed the enemies of David, euery one from the earth.

h I know that if thou wereer now preferred to a kingdome, thou woudest not deliotrop me, but thy selfe thy selfe friend to up prieritise,

16

So Jonathan made a bond with h house of David, laying, Let the Lord require it at the hands of David's enemies.

17

And againe Jonathá's ware vnto David, becaufe he loued him (for hee loued him as his owne loule)

18

Then said Jonathan to him, To morow is the first daye of the moneth: and thou halt be looked for, for thy place shall be emptied.

*Or, mentioned.

19

Therefore thouhalt hyde thy selfe three dayes, then thouhalt go down quickly and come to the place where thou diddest hyde thy selfe, when this matter was in hande, a halt remaine by the stone. Ezel.

And I wil hyote three arowes on the side thereof, as though I shot at a marke.

21

And after I will send a boy, laying, Go, seek the arowes. If I lay vnto the boy, See, the arowes are on this side thee, bring them, and come thou: for it is well with thee and no hurt, as the Lo'd lineth.

22

But if I lay thus vnto the boy, Behold, the arowes are beyonde thee, go thy way: for the Lord hath sent thee away.

k The Lo'd is
the author of
the departure.

23

As touching the thing which thou and I haue spoke of, behold, the Lord be betwene thee and me for euer.

24

C So David hid him selfe in the field; and when the first daye of the moneth came, the King late to eat meat.

25

And the King late, as at other tymes vpon his seat, euen vpon his seat by the wall; and Jonathan arose, and Abner late by Sauls lides but David's place was emptied.

26

And Saul saye nothing that day: for he thought, Some thing hath befallen him, though he were cleane, or els because hee was not purified.

k But he might
have some busi-
ness to let
him.

27

But on the morow which was the second day of h moneth, David's place was emptied again: a Saul said vnto Jonathá his sone, wherofe commeth not the sonne of J hαι to meat, neither pesterday no: to day.

l Chus he gea
thou contemn
the day of
David.

28

And Jonathá answered vnto Saul, David required of mee, that he might goe to Beth-lehem.

29

For he layde, Let me goe, I layp thee: for our familie offreth m a sacrifice in the citie, and my brother hath sent for mee: therefore now if I haue found fauourie in thine eyes, let me goe, I layp thee, as see my breathen: this is the cause that he commeth not vnto the Kings table.

m That is, a
peace offring.

30

Then was Saul angry with Jonathan, a layd vnto him, Thou e sonne of the wicked rebellious woman, doe not I knowe, that thou haſt chosen the sonne of J hαι to thy confusion and to the confusion and shame of thy mother?

n Meaning, al
hujus kinskelefoe,

For as log as the sonne of J hαι lineth hbo the earth, thouhalt not be stablished, nor thy kingdome: whereofe now lend and ket him vnto me, for he shall surely dye.

o Chus ant e

31

And Jonathan answered vnto Saul his father, and layd vnto him, whereofe shall he die: what hath he done?

p That is, a
peace of
death.

32

And Saul cast a peare at him to hit him, whereby Jonathan knew, that it was determined of his father to slay David.

q For it was
there to
great trus
tie to put one
to death a not
to the cause he
caulde wyp.

33

C So Jonathan arose from the table in a great auger, e did eate no meate the second day of the moneth: for he was soze for David, & becaufe his father had reuiled him.

34

On the next morning therefore Jonathan went out into the field, at the time appointed with David, and a little boy with him.

q For this was
the third day,
a so was as
gred upon,
ber, l.

35

And he layde vnto his boy, Runne nowe, seeke the arowes which I hooote, as the boy ran, he shot an arrowe beyond him.

36

And when the boy was come to the place where the arrow was that Jonathan had shot, Jonathan cryed after the boye, a layd, Is not the arrowe beyond thee?

r As the
words he ab
monimith
and what he
goude to do.

37

And Jonathan cried after the boy, Make heede, haste and stand not still: and Jonathan's bope gathered vp the arowes, and came to his master,

38

But the boy knew nothing: only Jonathá and David knewe the matter.

40

Then Jonathan gaue his bove and arowes vnto the boye that was with him, as said vnto him, Soe, carp them into the citie.

s Ebr. of the arowes.

41

A sone as the boy was gone, David arose out of a place that was towarde the South, and fel on his face to the ground, a bowed himselfe three times; and they killed one an other, and wept both twayne, till David exceeded.

42

Therefore Jonathan said to David, Go in peace: that which we haue twoe both of vs in the Name of the Lo'de, laying, The Lo'de be betwene me as thee, and betwene my seede and betwene thy seede, let it stand for euer.

14 And Ahimelech answered the King, אֶל אֱלֹקֵינוּ, who is so faithful among all thy seruants as Daud, being also the Kings sonne in lawe, and goeth at thy commandement, and is honorable in thine house?

15 Have I this day first begun toaffeek counsel of God for him? be it farre from me, let not the King impute any thing unto his seruant, no: to all the house of my father: for thy seruant knew nothing of all this, lefte no: more.

16 Then the King said, Thou shalt surely dye, Ahimelech, thou, and all thy fathers house.

17 And the King said unto the "fergeants that stood about him, Turne, and flap Ú Priests of the Lord, because their hand also is with Daud, and because they knewe when he fled, he wed it not to me. But the seruants of the King k would not moue their hands to fall upon the Priests of the Lord."

18 Then the King said to Doeg, Turne thou and fal upon the Priests. And Doeg the Edomite turned, and ran upon the Priests. And flew that same day foure totores and five persons that did weare a linen Ephod.

19 Also Iob the citie of the Priests smote he with the edge of the sword, both man and woman, both childe and fuckeling, both ore and asle, and sheepe with the edge of the sword.

20 But one of the sonnes of Ahimelech the sonne of Ahitub (whole name was Abiathar) k escaped and fled after Daud.

21 And Abiathar chewed Daud, that Saul had slaine the Lords Priests.

22 And Daud said unto Abiathar, I knewe it the same day, when Doeg the Edomite was there, that he woulde tell Saul. I am the caule of the death of al the persons of thy fathers house.

23 Abide thou with me, and feare not: for k he that seeketh my life, shall seeke thy life also: for with me thou shall be in safegarde.

5 Daud chafeth the Philistins from Keilah. 13 Daud departeth from Keilah, and remaneth in the wildernes of Ziph. 16 Jonathan comforteth Daud. 28 Dauls enterprise is broken in purifying Daud.

1 Then they told Daud, saying, Behold, the Philistins fight against k Keilah, and spoile the barnes.

2 Therefore Daud aked counsell of the Lord, saying, Shal I go: and finite these Philistins? And Ú Lord answered Daud, Go and finite the Philistins, and faue Keilah.

3 And Dauds men said unto him, See, we be aғrayd here in b Judah, how much more it we come to Keilah against the hoste of Ú Philistins?

4 Then Daud aked counsel of the Lord againe. And the Lord answered him, and said, Arise, go downe to Keilah: for I will deliver the Philistins into thine hand.

5 So Daud and his men went to Keilah, and fought with the Philistins, אֶל אֱלֹקֵינוּ, who is so faithful among all thy seruants as Daud, being also the Kings sonne in lawe, and goeth at thy commandement, and is honorable in thine house?

(And when Abiathar the sonne of Ahimelech" fled to Daud to Keilah, he brought an Æphod k with him)

Chap. xii. 20.

7 And it was told Saul that Daud was preferred to Keilah, and Saul said, God hath delivered him into mine hand: for he is shut in, seeing he is come into a citie that hath gates and barres.

k As Ú Gods pientence the Ephod was preferred and kept with Daud with the true king. I Ebr. in his hand,

8 Then Saul called all the people together to warre, for to go downe to Keilah, and to believe Daud and his men.

9 And Daud hauing knowledge Ú Saul imagined mischiefe against him, said to Abiathar the Prieſt, d Bring the Ephod.

d To comite with the Lord by Dinn and Thumumum.

10 Then said Daud, Ú Lord God of Israel, thy seruant hath heard, that Saul is about to come to Keilah to deſtroye the citie for my sake.

11 Now the lords of Keilah deliuer me vp into his hand k and will Saul come downe, as thy seruant hath heard: Ú Lord God of Israel, I believe thee, tel thy seruant. And the Lord said, He will come downe.

12 Then Daud, will the "lords of Keilah deliuer me vp, and the men that are vp me, into the hand of Saul k And the Lord said, Thep will deliuer thee vp.

13 Then Daud and his men, which were about six hundred, aroſe, and departed out of Keilah, and went " whether they couldle. And it was told Saul, Ú Daud was fled from Keilah, and he left of his journey.

k Or, so, and fro, as having no certaine place to go to.

14 And Daud abode in the wildernelle in k holdes, and remained in a mountaine in the wildernes of Ziph. And Saul sought him euery day, but God c delivered him not into his hand.

k Or, strong place.

15 And Daud saw that Saul was come out for to feeke his life: and Daud was in the wildernes of Ziph in the wood.

k As power not political can piently against gobs children, but when he appears the time,

16 And Jonathan Sauls sonne aroſe and went to Daud into the wood, and comforted k him in God,

k Ebr, his hand.

17 And said unto him, Feare not: for k hand of Saul my father shall not find thee, and thouhalt be k King ouer Israel, and I shall be next unto thee: and also Saul my father knoweth it.

Jonathan as-hereth Damb, that God will acquiesch in his promises, and that his farther fruiteth against his owne consience.

18 So they twaine made a couenant before the Lord k and Daud did remaine in the wood k but Jonathan went to his houſe.

19 Then came vp the Ziphims to Saul to Gibeah, saying, Doeth not Daud hide him selfe by his in holdes, in the wood in the hill of Hachilah, which is on the right side k of Jeḥimon?

k Or, of the will-derne.

20 Now therefore Ú King, come downe according to all that thine heart can deſire, k our part shall be to deliuer him into Ú Kings hands.

21 Then Saul said, k Be ye bleſſed of Ú Lord: for ye haue had compassion on me.

k The Lord re-conquers this friendip.

22 Go, I pray you, and prepare yet better: know

24 Then they arose and went to Zoph before
Saul, but Daud and his men were in the
wildernes of Maon, in the plaine on the
right hand of Jehehimon.

25 Saul also and his men went to seeke him,
and they tolde Daud : wherefore he came
downe vnto a rocke, and abode in the wil-
dernes of † Maon . And when Saul
heard that, he followed after Daud in the
wildernes of Maon.

26 And Saul and his men went on the one
side of the mountaine, and Daud and his
men on the other side of the mountaine:
and Daud made hafte to get from the pre-
sence of Saul: for Saul and his men com-
pased Daud and his men round about, to
take them.

27 But there came a k messenger to Saul,
faying, Hafte thee, and come : for the Ph-
iftims haue inuaded the lande.

28 Wherefore Saul returned from purhing
Daud, and went against the Phiftiftims.
Therefore they called that place, † Sela-

And David went thence, and dwelt
in a holdes at En-gedi.

When Saul was returned from the
Philtiftims, they told him, faying, Beholde,
Daud is in the wildernes of b En-gedi.

Then Saul tooke thée thoufande chosen
men out of all Israel, and went to seeke
Daud and his men upon the rocks among
the wilde goates.

And he came to the sheepcoates by þ way
where there was a cane, and Saul went
in:‡ to do his casement : and Daud and his
men fate in the: inward parties of the cane.

And the men of Daud faid vnto him. See,
the day is c come, whereof the Lord faide
unto thee, Beholde, I will deliver thine e-
nemie into thine hand, and thou halt do to
him as it shall feene good to thee. Then
Daud arose and cut of the lap of Sauls
garment priuily.

And afterward David d was touched in
his heart, because he had cut of þ lap which
was on Sauls garment.

And he faid vnto his men, The Lord keepe
me from doing that thing vnto my master
the Lords Anointed, to lay mine hand vp
him: for he is the Anointed of the Lord.

So Daud ouercame his seruants with
these wordes, and suffred them not to arife
against Saul : so Saul rose vp out of the

cause and went away.

David also arose afterward, and went
out of the cause, a cried after Saul, faying,
D my lord the King. And when Saul loo-
ked behinde him, David inclined his face to
the earth, and bowed him selfe.

10 And Daud said to Saul, e Wherefore gi-
uest thou an eare to mens words, that fay,
Beholde, Daud seeketh euil against thee ?
Beholde, this day thine eyes haue scene,
that the Lord had deliuered thee this day
into mine hand in the cause, and some bade
me kill thee, but I had compassion on thee,
and said, I will not lap mine hande on my
master : for he is the Lords anointed.

11 Beholde, this day thine eyes haue scene,
that the Lord had delivered thee this day
into mine hand in the cause, and some bade
me kill thee, but I had compassion on thee,
and said, I will not lap mine hande on my
master : for he is the Lords anointed.

12 Moreover my father, beholde : beholde, I
fay, the lappe of thy garment in mine hand:
for when I cut of the lappe of thy garment,
I killed thee not. Understand and fee, that
there is neither euil no: wickednes in me,
neither haue I finned against thee. 13 thou
huntest after my foule to take it.

13 The Lord be judge betweene thee and me,
and the Lord auenge me of thee, and let
not mine hand be vpon thee.

14 According as the † olde prouerbe faith,
Wickednes proceedeth from the wicked,
but mine hand be not vpon thee.

15 After whom is the King of Israel come
out ? after whom he does t thou purlue ? after
a dead dog, and after a flic?

16 The Lord therefore be judge, and judge
betweene thee a me, and fee, and pleade my
cause, and ‡ deliver me out of thine hand.

17 When Daud had made an ende of spea-
king these words to Saul, Saul said, J
this thy voice, my lonne Daud? and Saul
lift vp his boyce, and wept,

18 And said to Daud, Thou art moze righte-
ous then J : for thou hast rendred me good,
and I haue rendred thee euil.

19 And thou hast thewed this day, that thou
hast dealt wel with me : foralimuch as whé
the Lord had closed me in thine hands, thou
killedst me not.

20 For who shall finde his enemie, and let him
depart: free: wherefore þ Lord render thee
good for that þ hast done vnto me this day.

21 For now beholde, J s knowe that thou

ael shall be stablished in thine hand.

22 Weare now therefore vnto me by the
Lord, that thou wilt not destroye my feebe
after me, and that thou wilt not abolif my
name out of my fathers house.

23 So Daud lware vnto Saul, and Saul
went home : but Daud and his men went

Nabals foolishness.

1. Samuel.

His wife Abigails wifdome.

b Maon and Carmel were cities in the tribe of Judah, Carmel the mountain was in Galilee.

2

Now in b Maon was a man, who had his possession in Carmel, and the man was exceeding mighty and had three thousand sheepe, and a thousand goats: and he was/hering his sheepe in Carmel.

3

The name also of the man was Ahab, and the name of his wife Abigail, and she was a woman of singular wisdom, and beautiful, but the man was churlish, and evil conditioned, a was of the familie of Caleb.

4

And David heard in the wilderness, that Ahab did there his sheepe.

5

Therefore David sent ten pong men, and David said unto the pong men, Go up to Carmel, and go to Ahab, and alke him in my name t how he doeth.

6

And thus shall ye say c for salutation, Both thou, and thine houle, and al that thou haſt, be in peace, welth and prosperity.

7

Behold, I haue heard, that thou haſt the letters : now thy shepheards were with vs, as we did them no hurt, neither did they mille any thing all þ while they were in Carmel.

8

Alke thy seruants and they wil šew thee. Wherefore let these pong men finde fauour in thine eyes: (for we come in a good season) give, I pray thee, what thou seest d cometh to thine hand vnto thy seruants, and to thy sonne David.

‡Ehr. of peace.
† Home read, so maieth thou hie in pious time the next þere, both thou, &c.
‡Ehr. for life.

d Whatsoeuer thou haſt ceas his for vs.

9

And when David's pong men came, thei tolde Ahab al thole words in the name of David, and helde their peace.

10

Then Ahab answered David's seruants, and said, who is David? and who is the sonne of Jhai? there be manie seruants now a daies, that heake away euery man from his master.

e Thus the covenants were, &c. in read of relating b to Jnehuel of God's chil-dren, vnto the reuerent their persons and cons-demning their cauſe.

11

Shall I then take my bread, & my water, and my flesh that I haue killed for my shee-ers, and giue it vnto men, whom I know not whence they be?

12

So David's seruants turned their way, and went againe, and came, and tolde him all thole things.

13

And David said vnto his men, Sird euery man his sword about him. And they girded euery man his sword : David also girded his sword. And about foure hundred men went vp after David, and two hundred abode by the t carriage.

‡Ehr. vesel.

14

Now one of the seruants tolde Abigail Ahab's wife, laying, Behold, David sent messengers out of the wilderness to salute our master, and he railed on them.

‡Ehr. droue them away.

15

Not withstanding the me were very good vnto vs, and we had no displeasure, neither milled we any thing as long as we were couerant with them, when we were in the fieldes.

f When we kept our sheepe in the wilderness of Paran.

16

They were as a wal vnto vs both by night and by day, all the while we were with the keeping sheepe.

17

Now therefore take heede, and see what thou haſt do: for euil t wil surely come vp to our master, and vpon all his familie: for he is so wicked þ a man can not speake to him.

‡Ehr. is accom- plished.

18

Then Abigail made hafe, a teke two hundred cakes, and two bottels of wine, and five sheepe readie dressed, and five mea-sures of parched corn, and an hundredeth frailes of raiſins, a two hundredth of figges, and laded them on alſes.

‡Ehr. bread.

19

Then she said vnto her seruants, Go ye before me : beholde, I wil come after you : pet the toſe t not her husband Ahab.

g Because thee knowe his crooked naſt, that he would rather haue purifièd, then continued to her enter pril.

20

And as he rode on her alſe, he came down by a secre place of the mountaine, and beholde, David and his men came downe againſt her, and he met them.

21

And David said, In deede I haue kept all in baine that this fellow had in the wilderness, so that nothing was milled of all that pertained vnto him : for he hath requited me euil for good.

22

So and more also do God vnto the enemies of David : for surely I will not leaue of all that he hath, by the dawning of þ day, any that þ pilleth against the wall.

23

And when Abigail sawe David, he hafed and lighted of her alſe, and fell before David on her face, and bowed her ſelc to the ground,

h Meaning this way, that he would drop both final and great.

24

And fell at his feete, and faide, Oh, my lord, I haue committed the iniquitie, and I pray thee, let thine handmaiden speake t to thee, and heare thou words of thine handmaide.

‡Ehr. in thine cares.

25

Let not my lord, I pray thee, regard this wicked man Ahab: for as his name is, so is he: "Ahab is his name, and ſolie is with him: but I thine handmaide kave not the thine men of my lord whom thou sentest.

‡Or, ſolc.

26

Now therefore my lord, as þ Lord liueth, and as thy ſoule liueth (the Lord, I ſay, that he hath withholden thee from coming to the blood, and that thine hand should not faue thee) so now thine enemies shall be as Ahab, and thep that intend to do my lord euil.

i That is, that thou shoult not be reuenged of thine enemie.

27

And now, this bleſſing which thine hand maide hath brought vnto my lord, let it be giuen vnto the pong men, that t follow my lord.

j Ope ſent.

‡Ehr. walke at the feete.

28

I pray thee, forgiue the trespas of thine handmaide: for the Lord wil make my lord a fire houle, becaufe my lord fighteth the battels of the Lord, and none euil hath bene found in thee t in all the like.

k Conſume his kingdom to his potterie.

29

Yet a ma hath riled vp to perſecute thee, and to feeke thy ſoule, but the ſoule of my lord shall be boild in the m bundel of life with the Lord thy God: and the ſoule of thine enemies shall God cast out, as out of the middle of a ſling.

l Abg. from thy daies. To him, Ahab.

m God shall preferre the like long in his time, and drop thine enemities.

30

And when the Lord shall haue done to my lord al the good that he hath promitted thee, and that haue made thee ruler ouer Israel,

31

Then shall it be no griefe vnto thee, nor ofſence of minde vnto my lord, that he hath not ſhed blood causeſeſſe, nor that my lord hath n not preferred him ſelc: and when the Lord shall haue dealt wel with my lord, remember thine handmaide.

n That he hath not as ſenred him ſelc, which things would haue tounnes to his conſence.

32 Then

David's fleet to Achish.

1. Samuel. He destroyed the Geshurites &c.

David saide, It is my boyce, my lord D
King.

18 And he saide, Wherefore doth my lord thus
persecute his ſeruant ? for what haue I
done ? or what euil is in mine hand ?

19 Now therefore, I beseech thee, let my lord
the King heare the words of his ſeruant. If
the Lord haue stirred thee vp against me,
let him influe the favour of a ſacrifice : but
if the children of men haue done it, cursed be
thee before the Lord : for they haue caſt me
out this day from abiding in the inheritace
of the Lord, laying, Go, ferue other gods.

20 Now therefore let not my blood fall to the
carth before the face of the Lord : for the
King of Israel is come out to seeke a ſie,
as one would hunt a partrich in the moun-
taines.

21 Then ſaide Saul, I haue limned: come
again, my ſonne David: for I will doe
thee no more harme, because my ſoule was
precious in thine eyes this day: beholde,
I haue done foolishly, and haue erred ex-
ceedingly.

22 Then David anſwered, and ſaid, Behold
the Kings ſpeare, let one of the yong men
come ouer and fet it.

23 And let the Lord reward euery man ac-
cording to his righteouſnes and faithful-
nes: for the Lord had delivered thee into
mine hands this day, but I would not lay
mine hand upon the Lords anoynted.

24 And beholde, like as thy life was much let
by this day in mine eyes: so let my life be let
by in the eyes of the Lord, that he may de-
lieuer me out of all tribulation.

25 Then Saul ſaide to David, Blessed art
thou, my ſonne David: for thou shall doe
great things, and also pzeuane. So Da-
vid went his way, and Saul returned to
his place.

CHAP. XXVII.

a David fleeth to Achilſh King of Gath, who giueth him Ziklag.

b David beſtroweth certaine of the Philistins, 10 Achilſh is decenued by David.

A Ad David ſaid in his heart, I shall
now a perish one day by the hande of
Saul: is it not better for me that I
faue my ſelſe in the land of the Philistins,
that Saul may haue no hope of me to ſeeke
me any more in all the coates of Israel,
ſo escape out of his hande?

2 David therefore arose, and he, and the like
hundreth men that were with him, went
unto Achilſh the ſonne of Maach King of
Gath.

3 And David b dwelt with Achilſh at Gath,
he, and his men, euerie man with his houſ-
holde. David with his two wives, Ahino-
am the Izrcelite, and Abigail Aabals wife
the Carmelite.

4 And it was toſde Saul that David was
ſled to Gath: so he ſought no more for him.

5 And David ſaid unto Achilſh, If I haue
now found grace in thine eyes, c let them
give me a place in some other citie of the
countrey, that I may dwel there: for why

should thy ſeruant dwel in the head citie of
the kingdome with thee?

6 Then Achilſh gaue him Ziklag that same
day: therefore Ziklag pertaineth unto the
Kings of Judah into this day.

7 And c the time that David dwelt in the
countrey of the Philistins, was ſoure mo-
neths and certaine daies.

8 Then David and his men went vp, and
inuaded the d Geshurites, and the Girzites
and the Amalekites: for they inuhabited the
lande from the beginning, from the way, as
thou goest to Shur, euen into the lande of
Egypt.

9 And David ſmote the land, and left neither
man no woman alive, and tooke ſhewe, f
oren, and alles, and camels, and apparel, f
returned and came to Achilſh.

10 And Achilſh ſaid, Where haue ye bene a
trouing this day? And David anſwered, Al-
gainſt the South of Judah, and against
the South of the Kenites.

11 And David ſaued neither man no woman
alive, to bring them to Gath, laying, Least
they should tell on vs, and ſay, So did Da-
vid, and so wil be his maner all the while
that he dwelleth in the countrey of the
Philistins.

12 And Achilſh beleeued David, laying, "Hee
hath made his people of Israel uttely to
abhoſe him: therefore he ſhal be my ſeruant
foe uer.

CHAP. XXVIII.

3 David hath the chieſe charge promiſed about Achilſh.

4 Saul conſuelteth with a witch, and the cauſeth him to yeake with Samuel,
5 Who declareth his rame.

N O what that time the Philistins al-
lembled their bandes and armie to
ſight with Israel: therefore Achilſh
ſaid to David, a Be ſure, thou shall go out
with me to the battel, thou, and thy men.

2 And David ſaide to Achilſh. Surely thou
shalt know what thy ſeruant can do. And
Achilſh ſaid to David, Surely I will make
thee keeper of mine head for euer.

3 (* Samuel was then dead, and all Israel
had lamented him, and buried him in Ra-
mah his owne citie: and Saul had b put a
way the ſoſeerers, and the ſoothlayers out
of the land)

4 Then the Philistins assembled themſelues,
and came, and pitched in Shunem : and
Saul assembled all Israel, f they pitched
in Gilboa.

5 And when Saul saw the hoſſe of the Philistins, he was aſtraide, and his heart was ſo eſtated.

6 Therefore Saul alſked counsel of the Lord,
and the Lord anſWERED him not, neither
by dREAMS, no by e TRIM, no yet by DROPS.

7 Then ſaid Saul into his ſeruants, Seeke
me a woma that hath a familiar ſpirit, that
I may go to her, and aſke of her. And his
ſeruants ſaid to him, Behold, there is a wo-
man at En-dor that hath a familiar ſpirit.

k Let his anſer toward vs be pacified vp a ſacrifice.

d. He feareth not to God in his muriſt, but is led by Saul in unliawes, full of ſtraikes, which in his confidence he condemneth.

8 Then Saul d changed him ſelſe, and put on other rayment, and hee went, and two men with him, and they came to the wo- man by night: and he ſayd, I pray thee, con- tecture unto me by the familiar ſpirite, and bring me him vp whome I shall name vn- to thee.

9 And the woman ſayd unto him, Behold, thou knowest what Saul hath done, home mee hath deſtroyed the ſoſerers, and the ſouthſapers out of the lande : whereſoever then keſſet thou to take mee in a ſnare to cause me to die?

10 And Saul ſware to her by the Lord, ſay-ing, As y Lord liueth, no harme shall come to thee for this thing.

11 Then ſaid the woman, whom thal I bring vp unto thee? And he anſwered, Bring mee vp e Samuel.

12 And when the woman ſaw Samuel, he ſcryed with a loude boyc, and the woman ſpake to Saul, ſaying, Why haſt thou de-cuſed me for this art Saul.

13 And the King ſaid unto her, Be not afraid: for what laſeſt thou? And the woman ſaid unto Saul, I saw gods ascending vp out of the earth.

14 Then he ſayde unto her, What kafion is he of? And he anſwered, An old man com- meth bp lapped in a mantel: Samuel knew that it was Samuel, and he inclined his face to the ground, and bowed him ſelſe.

15 And Samuel ſaid to Saul, Why haſt thou diſquieted mee, to bring me vp? Then Saul anſwered, I am in great diſtresse: for the Philistins make warre against me, and God is departed from me, and anſwereth me no more, neither by p[ro]pheters neither by d[reames]: therefore I haue called thee, that thou mayſt tell me, what I shall do.

16 The ſayd Samuel, Wherefore then doſt thou aſſe of me, feeing the Lorde is gone from thee, and is thine enemie?

17 Even the Lorde hath done to him, as hee ſpake * by mine hande: for the Lorde will rent the kingDome out of thy hande, and giue it thy neighbour Daud.

18 Because thou obeyed not the voide of the Lorde, nor ſencted his ſterce what with upon the Amalekites, therefore hath the Lorde done this unto thee this day.

19 Moreover the Lorde will deliver Israel with thee into the hands of the Philistins: and to morow haſt thou and thy ſonnes be with me, and the Lorde shall giue the hofte of Israel into the hands of the Philistins.

20 Then Saul keſt reſtight way all along on the earth, and was ſore aſkayde because of the words of Samuel, to that there was no strength in him: for he had eaten no bread al the day not all the night.

21 Then the woman came vnto Saul, as he saw that he was ſore troubled, and ſayde unto him, See, thine handmayde hath obeyed thy boice, and I haue put my ſoule in mine hande, and haue obeyed thy words which

thou ſayde vnto me.

22 Now therefore I pray thee, hearken thou alſo vnto the boyc of thine handmaiden, and let me let a moſel of bread before thee, that thou maſſe eate and get thee ſtrength, and go on thy iourny.

23 But he reſuſed, and laid, I wil not eat: but his ſeruants are the woman together compelled him, ſhe obeyed their voide: so he arose from the earth, and kate on the bed.

24 Now the woman had a fat calfe in the houſe, and he haſted, and killed it, and took ſtoure and kneaded it, and baked it of t leauened bread.

25 Then he brought them before Saul, and before his ſeruantes: and when they had eaten, they stooſe vp, and went away the fame night.

C H A P ., XXIX.

The princes of the PhilistinsCAUSE DAUID to be ſent backe from the battel against Israel, because they diſtroyed him.

D The Philistins were gathered togeth er with al their armies in Aphek: and the Israelites pitched "by the foſtalline," which is in J[er]zeel.

And the "princes of the Philistins went forth by a hundredths and thousandtes, but David and his men came behinde with the chilſh.

Then ſaide the princes of the Philistins, What do these Ch[ewes] here? And Achilſh laid vnto the princes of the Philistins, Is not this David the ſeruāt of Saul the king of Israel, who hath beene with me theſe daſes, or theſe peeres, and I haue found nothing in him, ſince he dwelt with me vnto this day?

But the princes of the Philistins were woth with him, and the princes of the Philistins ſaid vnto him, * Send this fel- lowe backe, that he may goe againe to his place which thou haſt appointed him, and let him not go downe with vs to battel, left that in the battel he be an aduerſarie to vs: for wherewith should he obteine the fauour of his maſter? thoude it not bee with the heads of theſe men?

Is not this David, of whom they ſang in daunes, ſaying, * Saul flew his thousand, and David his ten thousand?

Then Achilſh called Daud, and ſaid vnto him, As the Lorde liueth, thou haſt beene b[right] and good in my ſight, when thou wentest out and in with mee in the hofte, neither haue I founde euill with thee, ſince thou cameſt to me vnto this day, but the princes do not fauour thee.

Wherefore now returne, and go in peace, that thou displeaſe not the princes of the Philistins.

And Daud ſaid vnto Achilſh, But what haue I done? and what haſt thou found in thy ſeruāt as long as I haue bin with thee vnto this day, that I may not go and fight against the enemies of my lord the King?

Achilſh then anſwered, and ſaid to Daud, I knowe thou p[le]aſt me, as an Angell of

haue layde, Let him not go vp with vs to

10 Wherefore now rile vp earely in the mo-
ning with thy masters servants that are
come with thee: and when ye be earely,
allone as ye haue light, depart.

f With them
that fled into
the house of
Paul.

11 So Daud and his men rose vp early to
depart in the morning, and to returne into
the land of the Philistins : and the Phili-
lims went vp to Izel.

C H A P. XXX.

1 The Amalekites burne Ziklag. 5 Dauids two wines are taken
piloners. 6 The people would not take him. 7 He afterall countell
the Lord, and purifying his enemies recovereth the piay. 14 He bes
widely it equally, 16 And further part to his friends.

1 B ut when David Æ his men were come
unto Ziklag, a the thirde day, the Amale-
kites hadituaded upon the South,EUc
to Ziklag, æ had b smitten Ziklag, and
burnt it with fire,

a After that
he departed
from Philist.

b That is, des-
troped the
sake.

2 And had taken the women that were therein, prisoners, both small and great, and few not a man, but caried them away, and went their wayes.

3 C So Daud and his men came to the ci-
tie, and beholde, it was burnt with fire, and
their c wines, a their sonnes, a their Daugh-
ters were taken prisoners.

c For these
and the rema-
ments in the
city, when the
men were gone to
JUVENT.

4 Then Daud and the people that was with
him, lift vp their voices and wept, until they
could weeepe no more.

5 Dauids two wines were taken prisoners
also, Thinoam the Izelelite, and Abigail
the wife of Abal the Carmelite.

d Thus we
be, thatin tron
bes and abu-
neriteth we do
not consider
Sobos pious

and commens

6 And Daud was in great sojowe : for the
people d intended to stone him, because the
hearts of all the people were bened eureye
man f his sonnes and for his Daughters:
but David comforted him selke in the Lo:de
his God.

7 And Daud said to Abiathar the Priest
Ahimelechs sonne, I play thee, bring me the
Ephod. And Abiathar brought the Ephod
to Daud.

8 Then David asked counsell at the Lo:de,
saying, Shal I folow after this companie?
shall I ouertake them? And he answere
him, Follow : for: thou shalt surely ouertake
them, and e recover all.

e Though
God ferme to
keue vs for a
time, ne't if we
trutn him,
we thalbe fure
to keue com-
foit.

9 So David Æ the six hundreth men that
were with him, went, and came to the riuer
Belo; where a part of them abode:

10 But David and foure hundreth men fol-
lowed (for two hundreth abode behinde,be-
ing to wearie to go ouer the riuer Belo?)

f God by his
prandiance
both vouchs
for the necessi-
ty of this
paine, firer,
& made him a
guide to Ds-
uid to accoun-
pith his enters
pilfe.

11 And they founde an Egyptian in the field,
and brought him to David, and gaue him
f head and he did eate, and they gaue him
water to dinke.

12 Also they gaue him a fetu figges, and two clusters of raiising: and when he had eaten, his spirit came againe to him: for he had eate no bread, nor dinke any water in three dayes, and three nightes.

13 C And David sayd unto him, To whom
belongest thou? and whence art thou? And

he said, I am a yong man of Egypt, and ser-
uant to an Amalekite: and my master left
me three dayes ago, because I fell sicke.

14 We roued upon the South of Chereth, Æ
upon the coast belonging to Judah, Æ upon
the South of Caleb, and we burnt Ziklag
with fire.

15 And David layde onto him, Canst thou
bring me to this companie? And he layde,
5 Weare vnto me by God, that thou wolt
neither kill me, nor deliver me into Æ handes
of my master, and I will bring thee to this
companie.

16 C And when he had brought him thither,
beholde, they lay scattered abnoade upon all
the earth, h eating and drinking, and daui-
ling, because of all the great piay that they
had taken out of the land of the Philistins,
and out of the land of Judah.

17 And DavidNOTE them from the twilight,
and into the evening f of the next mo:we,
so that there escaped not a man of them, saue
foure hundreth yong men, which rode upon
camels, and fled.

18 And David recovered all that the Amale-
kites had taken: also David rescued his two
wines.

19 And they lacked nothing, small o: great,
sonne o: daughter, o: of the poyle of all that
they had taken awaye : David recovered
them all.

20 David also tooke all the sheepe, and the
oren, and they draue them before his cattell,
and sayd, This is David's piay.

21 C And David came to the two hundreth
men that were to wearie for: to follow Da-
uid: whome they had made alio to abide at
the riuer Belo: and they came to meet Da-
uid, and to meete the people that were with
him : so when David came neere to the peo-
ple, he saluted them.

22 Then answered all the cuill and wicked of
the men that went with David, f sayd, Be-
cause they went not with vs, therefore will
we give them none of f pray, that we have
recovered, saue to every man his 1 wife and
his children: therefore let them carie them
away and depart.

23 Then sayd David, He shall not do so, my
biesthen, with that which the Lord hath geu-
en vs, who hath preferred vs, and deliue-
red the companie that came against vs, in-
to our handes.

24 For who will obey you in this matter: but
as his part is that goeth downe to the bat-
tel, so shall his part be, that tarpet by the
staffe: they shall part alike.

25 m So from that day forward he made it a
statute and a law in Israel, until this day.

26 C When David therfore came to Ziklag,
he sent of the pray vnto the Elders of Ju-
lah and to his friends, saying, See there is
a bleffing for you of the poyle of the enemies
of the Lord.

27 He sent to them of Beth-el, and to them of

Abner turneth to David.

12:3

k. After epha.
epis, the son of a
servant was a
slave.

17 And the battell was exceeding soe that
same day: for Abner and the men of Israel
fell before the seruants of David.

1

18 And there were three sonnes of Zeruiah
there, Joab, and Abishal, and Asahel. And
Asahel was as light on foote as a wild roe.

2

19 And Asahel followed after Abner, and in
going he turned neither to the right hande
no: to the left from Abner.

3

20 Then Abner looked behind him, and layd,
Art thou Asahel? And he answered, Pea.

4

21 Then Abner said, Turne thee either to the
tight hande, or to the left, and take one of
the yong men, and take thee his weapons:
but Asahe, would not depart from him.

5

22 And Abner faide to Asahel, Depart from
me: wherefor should I smite thee to the
ground? how then should I be able to hold
by my face to Joab thy mother?

6

1. Why he did
not go to
him to kill
him?

23 And when he woude not depart, Abner
with the hinder ende of the ispeare smote
him under the right ryb, that the ispeare
came out behinde him: and hee fell downe
there, and died in his place. And as many as
came to the place where Asahel fell downe
and dyed, stooke still.

24 Joab also and Abishal pursued after Ab-
ner: and the sonne went down, when they
were come to the hil Ammah, that lieth be-
fore Giah, by the way of the wildernesse of
Gibbon.

9

25 And the children of Benjamin gathered
themselves together after Abner, and were
on an heape and stood on the top of an hill.

10

a. Shalt we
not make an
ende of our
triering?

26 Then Abner called to Joab, and sayde,
Shal the word deuoure so: euer? know-
est thou not, that it will be bitternes in the
latter end: how long then shall it be, or: thou
bid the people returne from following their
hathen?

11

27 And Joab sayde, As God lieth, if thou
hadst not spoken, surelily euen in the mo-
ning the people had departed euery one
backe from his brother.

12

28 (So Joab blewe a trumpet, and all the
people stode still, and pursued after Israel
no more, neither sought they any more.

13

29 And Abner and his men walked all that
night through the plaine, and went ouer
Jorden, a pаст through all Sithron till they
came to Mahanaim.

14

30 Joab also returned backe from Abner: and
when he had gathered all the people toge-
ther, there lacked ofDAUDS seruants nine-
tiene men and Asahel.

15

31 But the seruants of David had smitten of
Benjamin, and of Abners men, so that three
hundreth and three sove men died.

16

17

p. This God
brought David
in his home
by the destruction
of his seruants

32 And they tooke by Asahel, and buried him
in the sepulchre of his father, which was in
Beth-lehem: and Joab and his men went
all night, and when they came to Hebron, the
day afoe.

19

There was then a long warre betwene
the house of Saul a the house of Da-
uid: but David wared stronger, and
the house of Saul wared weaker.

C And vnto David were children borne
in Hebron: and his eldest sonne was Im-
nion of Ahinoam the Jezreelite,

And his seconde, was b Chileab of Abigail
the wife of Jabal the Carmelite : and the
thirde, Abklalom the sonne of Maacah the
daughter of Calmait the King of Gebur,

And the fourth, Adoniah the sonne of
Haggith, and the fifth, Shephaciah his sonne
of Abital,

And the fifth, Jtheam by Eglah Dauids
wife: these were borne to David in c Hebron.
d Within his
peres and
fire metheb.

C Now while there was warre betwene
the house of Saul a the house of David, Ab-
ner made all his power for his house of Saul.

And Saul had a concubine named Riz-
pah, the daughter of Aiah. And Ith-bolcheth
fayd to Abner, wherefore hаст thou gone in
to my fathers concubine?

Then was Abner very woth for his words
of Ith-bolcheth, a laid, Am I a Dogs head,
which agaynt Judah does werc mercy this
day vnto the house of Saul thy father, to
his diethen, and to his neighbours, a have
not deliuered thee into the hand of David,
that thou chargest me this day with a faute
concerning this woman?

c So do God to Abner, and more also, ex-
cept, as the Lord hath sworne to David, eu-
to I do to him,

To remoue the kingdome from the house
of Saul, that the throne of David may bee
stablifhed ouer Israel, and ouer Judah, eué
from Dan to Beer-sheba.

And he durst no more answere to Abner:
so for he feared him.

C Then Abner sent messengers to David
"on his behalfe, saying, Whose is the land?
who should also say, Make covenant with
me, and behold, mine hand shall be with thee,
to bring all Israel vnto thee.

And he sayde, well, I will make a covenant
with thee: but one thing I require of thee,
that is, that thou see not my face except thou
bring Michal Sauls daughter when thou
connest to see me.

14 Then David sent messengers to Ith-
boeth Sauls sonne, saying, Deliver mee
my wife Michal, which I married so: * all
hundreth for eikinnes of the Philistins.

15 And Ith-boeth sent, and tooke her from
her husband * Phaltiel the sonne of Laith.

16 And her husband went with her, and came
weeping behinde her, vnto Bahurint: then
said Abner vnto him, Go, and returne. So
he returned.

17 And Abner had a communication with
the Elders of Israel, saying, He sought for
David in times past, that he might be your
King.

18 Nowe then do it: for the Lorde hath spo-
ken of David, saying, By the hande of my
A.iii.
seruant

Joab killeth Abner. David mourneth 11. Samuel. for him. 1s-bolheth murdered.

Servant David I will save my people Israel out of the hands of the Philistins, and out of the hands of all their enemies.

19. In the ears of Benjamin.

19 Also Abner spake to Benjamin, and afterward Abner went to speak with David in Hebron, concerning that Israel was content with, and the whole house of Benjamin.

20. Who has spoken the kingdom, he cauſe of their father Saul.

20 So Abner came to David to Hebron, having twenty men with him, and David made a feal unto Abner, to the men that were with him.

21 Then Abner said unto David, I will rise up, and go gather al Israel unto my lord the King, that they may make a covenant with thee, & that thou maiest reigne ouer all that thine heart desireth. Then David let Abner depart, who went in peace.

21. Or, without name.

22 And behold, the ſeruants of David and Joab came from the campe, and brought a great pray with the (but Abner was not with David in Hebron; for he had sent him away, and he departed in peace)

22. From war against the Philistines.

23 When Joab, as the houſe that was with him were come, men told Joab, laying, Abner the ſonne of Aer came to the King, and he hath lent him away, he is gone in peace.

24. Then Joab came to the King, and layde, 'What hast thou done?' behold, Abner came unto thee, why hast thou lent him away, and he is departed?

24. There appears reith the malice and iniquity of Joab, who would haue had the king to flap Abner for his vnmate gudge.

25 Thou knowest Abner the ſonne of Aer: for hee came to decreyue thee, and to knowe thy outgoing and ingoing, and to know all that thou doest.

26 And when Joab was gone out from David, he ſent messengers after Abner, which brought him again from the wel of Siraui vnto knowing to David.

26. King, 2.5.

26. Or, secretly.

27 And who Abner was come againe to Hebron, * Joab tooke him alde in the gate to speake with him peaceably, and ſmote him under the fift rib, that he died, for the blood of *Alahel his brother.

27. Chap. 2.23.

28 And who? afterward it came to Dauids eare, he said, I and my kingdome are giltles before the Lord for euer, concerning the blood of Abner the ſonne of Aer.

28. The Lord knoweth that I did not consent to his daily.

29 Let the blood fall on the head of Joab, and on all his father's houſe, that the houſe of Joab bee neuer without ſome that haue running pflues, or leper, or that leaneth on a kaffe, or that doeth fal on the swoode, or that lacketh bread.

30. Abiſhai is said to kaffe. him with Joab, because he reſenteth to the murther.

30 (So Joab and Abiſhaj his brother ſlewe Abner, because he had ſlaime their brother Alahel at Gibeon in battel)

31 And David said to Joab, and to all the people that were with him, Kent pour clothes, and put on ſacke cloth, and mourne before Abner: and King David him ſelke followed the beare.

31. Meaning, before the coijus.

32 And when they had buried Abner in Hebron, the king lift up his voyce, and wept beside the sepulchre of Abner, and al the people wept.

33 And the King lamented ouer Abner, and

said, Dyed Abner as a soole dyeth?

34. Thine hands were not bound, not thy feete tied in fetters of kaffe: but as a man kalleth before wicked men, to diddest thou fall. And all the people wept againe for him.

35. Afterward all the people came to cause David eate, meate while it was yet dawe, but David kaffe, laying, So do God to me and more also, if I take bread, or ought els till the Sunne be downe.

36. And all the people knewe it, and it pleased them: as whatfoeuer the King did, pleased all the people.

37 For all the people as all Israel underkood that day, howe that it was not the Kings deed that Abner's ſonne of Aer was kaffe.

38 And the King said unto his ſeruants, know ye not, that there is a prince as a great man fallen this day in Israel?

39 And I am this day weake as newly anointed King: as thee me the ſonnes of Zeruah be to hard for me: the Loide rewardde the doer of enuill according to his wickednes.

CHAP. III.

Baanah and Rechab flap 1s-bolheth the ſonne of Saul, 12. Dauid commandeth them to be kaffe.

A And when Sauls ſonne heard that Abner was dead in Hebron, then his hands were ſeeble, as all Israel was atrayde,

And Sauls ſonne had two men that were captaines of bands: the one called Baanah, as the other called Rechab, ſonnes of Rimon mon a Beerothite of y childe of Benjamint. (for Beeroth was reckened to Benjamint. Because the Beerothites fled to Gittaim, and lounoured there, vnto this day)

4 And Jonathan Sauls ſonne had a ſonne, who was lame on his feete: he was kue pere old when the tidings came of Saul and Jonathan out of Israel: then his nourse tooke him, and fled away. And as he made hafke to flee, the childe fell, and began to halt, and his name was Mephibsheth.

And the ſonnes of Rimonmon the Beerothite, Rechab and Baanah went and came in the heate of the day to the houſe of 1s-bolheth (who slept on a bed at noone)

And beholde, Rechab and Baanah his hother came into the middes of the houſe, as they would haue wheate, as they smote him under the fift rib, and fled.

7. For when they came into the houſe, he slept on his bed in his bedchamber, as they smote him, and flew him, and beheaded him, and tooke his head, as gate them away through the plaine all the night.

8 And they brought the head of 1s-bolheth into David to Hebron, and said to y'king, Beholde the head of 1s-bolheth Sauls ſonne thine enemie, who sought after the life: and the Lord hath auenged my lord the King this day of Saul and of his seed.

Then David answered Rechab and Baanah his brother, the ſonnes of Rimonmon the Beerothite, and ſaide vnto them, As the Lord liveth, who hath delivered my soule out

n. He declaredly that Abner bred her, as a wench, to the præſon, but as a man kalleth before wicked men, to diddest thou fall. And all the people wept againe for him.

10 When *one told me, and said that Saul was dead, (thinking to have brought good tidings) I tooke him a flewe him in Zelag, who thought that I would have giuen him a reward for his tidings:

g for as much as might be, the name of him that flane Baanah, and dures to their mother, the ordinance of the person, no reference of the person, but move them, they defenued most giuenous paniuill.

11

How much more, when wicked men haue flaine a righteous person in his owne house, and upon his bed ? shall I not now therefore require his blood at your hande, and take you from the earth ?

12

Then David commanded his yong men, and they flewe them, and cut of their hands and their feete, and hanged them vp ouer the poole in Hebion : but they tooke the head of Jsh-bolthe, and buried it in the lepulchre of * Abner in Hebion.

David is made King ouer Israel. He taketh the fort of Ix. 19. The sixth countel of the Lord, 20. And onereament the Philistins telle.

1, Chron. 11, 12.

1

Then * came all the tribes of Israel to David into Hebion, and saide thus, Behold, we are thy bones a thy keel. And in tyne past when Saul was out King, thou leddest Israel in and out: and the Loide hath faide to thee, * Thou halt feede my people Israel, and thou halt bee a captaine ouer Israel.

1. We are of the Lord's, 2. shall there be no more.

3

So all the Elders of Israel came to the King to Hebion: and King David made a couenant with them in Hebion b before the Lord: and they anointed David King ouer Israel.

6 That is, King the Loide to be King in Israel, for the Arke was as per this Rabab's house.

4

David was thirtie yeere olde when he began to reigne: and hee reigned fourty yeere.

Chap. 2, 11.

5

In Hebion he reigned ouer Judah * leue yeere, and lize monethes : and in Jerusale hee reigned thirty and three yeeres ouer all Israel and Judah.

6

The King also and his men went to Jerusalem into the Jebuithes, the inhabitats of the land: who spake into David, saying, Except thou take away the *blinde and the lame, thou halt not come in hither: thinking that David could not come thither.

c The childe of God called noke blinde and lame, and made therefor the Jerusalems, their children, that the blinde you were noter blinges your lame.

7

But David tooke the sort of Zion: this is the citie of David.

8

Now David had laid the same day, who- leuer mitche the Jebuithes, a getteth vp to the gutters a smitech the lame and blind, which Dauids soule hateth, I will preferre him; * therefor they faide, The blind a the lame shall not d come into that house.

1, Chron. 11, 16.

9

So David dwelt in that fort, and called it the citie of David, and David built round about it, from e Millo, and inwarde.

d The childe of God called noke blinde and lame, and made therefor the Jerusalems, their children, that the blinde you were noter blinges your lame.

10

And David prospered and grew: so: the Lord God of hostes was with him.

e He built fr the volume of the house into the place.

11

Chiram also king of * Tyrus sent meffe- gers to David, and cedar trees, and carpeters, and masons so: walles: a they buylte David an house.

12

Then David knewe, that the Loide had stablished him King ouer Israel, and that he had erakted his kingdome for his people Israel's fake.

13

And David tooke him mo * concubines & wines out of Jerusalem, after he was come from Hebion, and mo sonnes & Daughters were borne to David.

14

* And these bee the names of the sonnes y were borne vnto him in Jerusalem: Shama, and Shobab, a Nathan, a Salomon,

15

And Jphar, and Elihua, and Nepheg, a Japhia,

16

And Elihama, and Eliada, a Elishalet.

17

*But when the Philistins heard that they had anointed David King ouer Jfrael, all the Philistins came vp to seeke David: and whc David heard, he went down to a fort.

18

But the Philistins came, and spied them selfes in the valley of Rephaim.

19

Then David *asked counsell of the Lord, f 28p. Abias thar the pittes, saying, Shall I goe vp to the Philistins: wilt thou deliuer them into mine handes? And the Lord anwered David, Go vp: for I will doules deliuer the Philistins into thine handes.

20

* Then David came to Baal-perazim, 16, 28, 31, and I smote them there, and laid, The Loide hath deuided mine enemies alunder before mee, as waters bee deuided alunder : therefore hee called the name of that place, "Baal-perazim."

21

And there they left their images, and Da- und his men * burnt them.

22

Againe the Philistins came vp, f spied them selfes in the valley of s Rephaim.

23

And when David *asked counsell of the Loide, he anwered, Thou halt not go vp, but turne about behinde them, a come upon them ouer against the mulberie trees.

24

And when y hearest the noise of one going in the tops of y mulbery trees, then remoue: so: then shall the Lord go out before thee, to finite the hoste of the Philistins.

25

Then David did so as the Lord had com- manded him, and smote the Philistins kro Geba, but till you come to b Gazr.

And they put the Arke of God byp a newo cart, a brought it out of the house of Abina-dab that was in b Gibeah. And Uzzah and Ahio the sonnes of Abinadab did drue the new cart.

6 C And when they came to Nachons the thing floor, Uzzah put his had to the Arke of God, and held it: for the oren did shake it.

7

d Here we see what damage it is to follow good intentions, or to do anything in God's presence without his approval, word, or his made a breach. 'Or, the division of Yzzah.

And the Lord was very wroth with Uzzah, and God smote him in the same place for his fault, and there he died by the Ark of God.

8

And David was displeased, because the Lo'd had smitten Uzzah; and hee called the name of the place "Derez Uzzah" until this day.

9

Therefore David that day feared God, and faide, How shall the Arke of the Lo'd come to me?

10

So David would not bring the Arke of the Lord vnto him into the citie of David, but David caried it into the house of Obed-edom a Gittite.

11

And the Arke of the Lo'd continued in the house of Obed-edom the Gittite, three moneths, and the Lord blessed Obed-edom, and all his household.

12

And one told King David, saying, *The Lord hath blessed the house of Obed-edom, and all that he hath, because of the Arke of God; therefore David went to brought the Arke of God from the house of Obed-edom, into the citie of David with gladnesse.

13

And when they that bare the Arke of the Lord had gone like paces, he offred an ore, a fat beast.

14

And David danced before the Lord with all his might, and was girded with a linnen Ephod.

15

So David and all the house of Israel, brought the Arke of the Lo'd with housting, and found of trumpet.

16

And as the Arke of the Lo'd came into the city of David, Michal Sauls daughter looked through a window, and saw King David leape, and dance before the Lo'd, and she did depifted him in her heart.

17

And when they had brought in the Arke of the Lo'd, they set it in his place, in the middes of the tabernacle that David had pitched for it: then David offred burnt oftringes, and peace oftrings before the Lord.

18

And aloone as David had made an ende of oftring burnt oftringes and peace oftrings, he *blessed the people in the Name of the Lord of holtes,

19

And gaue amog al the people, euen amog the whole multitude of Israel, andwell to the women as men, to euery one a cake of bread, and a piece of kleshe, and a bottell of wine: so all the people departed euery one to his house.

20

Then David returned to blesse his house, and Michal the daughter of Saul came out to meete David, and said, O how glorious was the King of Israel this dave, which was encountered to day in the eyes of the maidens of his seruants, as a soole toconuereth him selfe.

1 That is to say, map for his house, as he had done for the people.

* Or, yaine man.

21

Then David layd vnto Michal, It was befoe the Lo'd, which chose me rather then thy father, and all his howe, and comman ded mee to be ruler ouer the people of the Lord, euen ouer Israel; and therefore wil I play before the Lord,

22

And will yet bee more bile then thus, and wilbe lowe in mine owne light, and of the verbe same maidefernaunts, which thou hast spoken of, shall I be had in honour.

23

Therefore Michal the daughter of Saul had no child vnto the day of her death.

1

Afterward * when the King sate in his house, and the Lo'd had giuen him rest round about from all his enemies,

2

The King layd vnto Nathan the Prophet, Behoide, nowe I dwel in an house of cedar trees, and the Arke of God remaineth within the curtaines.

3

Then Nathan layd vnto the King, Go, Go all that is in thine heart: for the Lord is with thee.

4

And the same night the word of the Lord came vnto Nathan, saying,

5

Go, and tel my seruant David, Thus saith the Lord, Shalt thou builde me an house for my dwelling?

6

So I haue dwelt in no house since the time that I brought the children of Israel out of Egypt vnto this day, but haue walled in a tent and tabernacle.

7

In all the places wherein I haue walked with all the children of Israel, I spake I one word with any of the tribes of Israel, where I commanded the Judges to keede my people Israel; or said I, Whp build ye not mee an house of cedar trees?

8

Nowe therefore so lay vnto my seruant David, Thus saith the Lord of holtes, *I tooke thee from the sheepecoate following the sheepe, that thou mightest bee ruler ouer my people, ouer Israel.

And I was with thee wheretoever thou haft walked, and haue destroyed all thine enemes out of thy light, and haue made thee a great name, like vnto the name of great men that are in the earth.

10

(Allo I will appoint a place for my people Israel, and wil plant it, that they may dwel in a place of their owne, and move no more, neither shall wicked people trouble them a great more as before time,

11

And since the time that I set Judges ouer my people of Israel, and I will give thee rest from all thine enemes: also the Lord telleth thee, that he wil make thee an house.

12

* And when thy dapes be fulfilled, y shall sleep with thy fathers, and I wil let by thy seede after thee, which shall proceede out of thy body, and wil stablish his kingdome.

13

* He shall build an house for my Name, and I will stablish the thione of his kingdome for ever.

a Exod. 19:27-29, and 20:1-6. The children of Israel were to offer their fruits, that is, the firstfruits, to the Lord, and to take of the Passover and of the people.

to the devilion of the families of your children
" the children of the people, and after the
devilion of the familie of the Leuites:

So kill the Passover, and sanctifie your
sels, and prepare your children that they
may do according to the word of the Lord
by the hand of Moles.

7

Joliah also gaue to the + people sheepe,
lambes and Kiddes, all of the Passover, e-
cuen to al that were present, to the nomber of
thirty thousand, and three thousand bul-
locks: these were of the Xinges substance.

8

And his princes offered willingly unto the
people, to the Priests and to the Leuites:
Hilkiah, and Zechariah, and Jechiel, rulers of
the house of God, gaue unto the Priests for
the Passover, even two thousand and six
hundreth sheepe and three hundreth bul-
locks.

9

Conaniah also and Shemaiah and Ne-
thaneel his brethren, & Hahabiah & Jeiel,
& Joabad, chiefe of the Leuites gaue unto
the Leuites for the Passover, five thousand
sheepe, and five hundred bullocks.

a Therefore we
will one, and
of all the soles
of that
did a liberal
portion to the
service of God.

10

Thus the service was prepared, and the
Priests stood in their places, also the Le-
uites in their orders, according to the kings
commandment:

11

And they flew the Passover, & Priests
& Sprinkled the blood with their hands, and
the Leuites flayed them.

f. The lighting of the lambe,
which was called h Passover; for on the
Shabbat might be sprinkled,
and in the easterly part of the
Leuites might kill the fowl.
g. The Passover and for the people that which was not expirant to be done, that euen the man might offer peace offerings, and in home his pape, tem. Exod. 21:3.

12

And they took away from the burnt of-
ering to give it according to the divisions of
the families of the children of the people, to
offer unto the Lord, as it is written in the
book of Moles, and so of the bullocks.

13

And * they rofted the Passover with fire,
according to the custom, but the sanctified
things they sod in pots, pannes, and caul-
dions, and distributed them quickly to all
the people.

14

After warde also they prepared for: them
sels and for the Priests: for the Priests
the Sonnes of Aaron were occupied in offe-
ring of burnt offerings, & the fat until night:
therefore the Leuites prepared for them
sels, & for the Priests the Sonnes of Alar.

h. The Passover and for the people that which was not expirant to be done, that euen the man might offer peace offerings, and in home his pape, tem. Exod. 21:3.

15

And the Singers the Sonnes of Asaph flood
in their standing * according to the com-
mandement of David, and Asaph, and He-
man, & Jeduthun the Kings h Seer: and
the porters at euery gate, who might not
departe from their service: therefore their
brethren the Leuites prepared for them.

i.Chro. 3:11.

16

So all the service of the Lord was prepa-
red the same day, to keepe the Passover, &
to offer burnt offerings vpon the altar of
the Lord, according to the commandement of
King Joliah.

h. Preparing
hearing the
prophet, because
he preannounced
the Name of the
Prophets
and prophesies
which
were to be
fled.

17

And the children of Israel that were pre-
vent, kept the Passover the same time, and
the feast of the unleauened bread seven
dayes.

18

And there was no Passover kept like
that. In Israel, from the dayes of Samuel
the Prophet: neither did all the Kinges of

Israel keepe such a Passover as Joliah
kept, and the Priests and the Leuites, & al
Judah, & Israel that were present, and the
inhabitants of Jeruſalem.

19

This Passover was kept in the eight-
tenth pere of the reigne of Joliah.

i Which was
in the fire and
twentieth pere
of his age.

20

After all this, when Joliah had pre-
pared the Temple, Aecho King of Egypt
came vp to fight against k Carchemish by
Derath, and Joliah went out against him.

21 Which was
a city of the
Assyrians, and
Joliah fearin
g the fighting
through
Tub, woude
hane taken his
kingdom,
made warre aga-
gainst him &
confuted not
the land.

22

But hee sent messengers to him, faying,
What haue I to do with thee, thou King of
Judah? I come not against thee this day,
but against the house of mine enemie, and
God commaunded me to make hafe: leane
of to come against God, which is with me,
left he destroy thee.

23

But Joliah would not turne his face from
him, but i changed his apparel to fight with
him, and hearkened not vnto the wordes
of Aecho, which were of the mouth of
God, but came to fight in the valley of Me-
giddo.

24

And the Shooters shot at King Joliah: the
king laid to his seruants, Carp me away,
for I am very sicke.

25

So his seruants tooke him out of that
charet, & put him in the second charet which
he had, and when they had brought him to
Jerusalem, he dyed, and was buried in the
lepuches of his fathers : and all Judah
and Jeruſalem m mourned for Joliah.

26

And Jeremiah lamented Joliah, and all
linging men and linging women mourned
for Joliah in their lamentations to this day,
a made þ fame for an ordinance vnto Jfra-
el; and beholde, they be written in the n la-
mentations.

and his goodnes, doing as it was written
in the Law of the Lord,

A very profitable declaration for the

Of the yeres that the monarchies of Pefia reig-
ned. Of the difference of auethours therein :
and of the diuerſitie & confuſiò of the names
of the ſaid monarchies.

The difference of auethours, alwell Hiftori-
graphers, as expositers of the holy ſcriptures,
is great, touching the time and peres that the two
monarchies of the Babyloniæ and Pefians co-
tinued, and allo touching the names of the mo-
narchies herein described, wherein there is great
confuſion. And therefore all other opinions ſet
apart, we will herein folow Philo Iudeus, & Me-
taphrene, ancient auethours, whose opinions do
neereſt agree with the hol ſcriptures.

Cyrus hauing conquered the kingdome of the
Pedes against Altagiles, left the ſaid kingdome
to his uncle Darius : by whole aide hee tooke
Babylon, and tranſpated the monarchie of Ba-
ylon to the Pefians. Two peeres after, the
layd Darius returned into Pede, & Cyrus reig-
ned alone in Babylon. Then he moned warre a-
gainſt the Sycphians, & matched toward them,
and in the meane while left Cambyles his ſonne,
king of the countrep in his abſence, according to
the cultome of ſ Pefians, which was to appoint
the neereſt of the kings blood to be king ouer the
countrep, when ſ king went out to fight againſt
any ſtrange nation. This is ſ cauſe why Camby-
les was not ſet in the ſuccelline order of the mo-
narchies. Neither is there any mention of two-
berethen that were Magicians, which guilefully
ſurpied the kingdome: but their guile being
knowen, they continued but a few moneths, and
Darius ſonne to Hyſtalis, was choſen kyrk.

Xerxes the ſonne of the ſaid Darius Succeſſed
him: but is not here placed in the number of the
monarchies, for that he left his kingdome to Da-
rius Longhand his ſonne, (according to the cu-
tome of the Pefians) when he went to warre a-
gainſt the Grekes. The Greke hiftoriographers
not respecting ſ cultome, number the ſaid Kerre
& Cambyles aboute mentioned, among the layd
monarchies ſuccellutely in order, which is the
cauſe that they count more yeres in the ſaid mo-
narchie, that is to ſay, 226 yeres.

As touching their ſonſed names, pe ſhal un-
berland, that among the Pefians, Darius ſig-
niſeth, he p ſubdueth: Kerres, a warriour: Artar-
eres, a great warriour, Alſo, that this name Af-
fuerus, is diawen from the Behewes, in kead of
Artaxerxes. Further, that Artaxerres was the
common name of all kings of Pefia, as Phara-
ob was the common name of the kinges of E-
gypt, & Celar, of the Romilh Emperours. Ther-
fore where pe ſinde many indifferently named
Darius, or Artaxerres, or both together, that is
the cauſe of the diſſicultie, how to underſand un-
per what king that happened, which is recited in
the ſaid booke of Exra, Neheſiah, Eſter, Da-
niel, and other places of the hol ſcriptures, er-
cept pe wel marke them, and well understand the
contents of this table,

A. And when the seventh moneth was come, and the children of Israel were in their cities, the people assembled themselves as one man into Jerusalem.

Then Koode vp Jelhua the fomme of Joza- dak, and his brethren the Priests, and Ze- rubbabel the sonne of Shealtiel, and his brethren, and buvlded the altar of the God of Israel, to offer burnt offerings thereon, as it is written in the Law of Molecules the man of God.

And they let the altar vpon his bases (for keare was among them, because of the peo- ple of those countreys) therefore they offered burnt offerings thereon vnto the Lord, even burnt offerings in the morning, and at euen.

They kept alio the feast of the Taberna- cles, as it is written, and the burnt offering * daily, by nomber according to * cufome day by day,

And afterward a the continual burnt of- fering, both in the new moneths and in al * feast days that were confeate vnto the Lord, and in all the oblations willingly of- feed vnto the Lord.

From the first day of the seventh moneth began they offer burnt offerings vnto the Lord; but the foundation of the Temple of the Lord was not layed.

They gaue money alio vnto the maſons, a to the workemen, and meat and drinke, and oyle vnto them of Zidon and of Tyros, to bring them ceder wood from Lebanon to the sea vnto "Japho, according to the grant that they had of Tyros King of Persia.

And in the second yere of their comming vnto the house of God in Jerusalem in the second moneth began Zerubbabel the fomme of Shealtiel, and Jelhua the fomme of Joza- dak, a the remnant of their brethren the Priests and the Leuites, a all they that were come out of the captiuitie vnto Jeru- salem, a appointed the Leuites from twen- tie yere olde and aboue, to let forwarde the workke of the house of the Lord.

And Jelhua kooode with his ſonnes, and his brethren, and Kadmiel with his ſonnes, and the ſonnes of Judah together to let forward the workemen in the house of God, a the ſonnes of Henadad with their ſonnes, a their brethren the Leuites.

And when the builders layed the fundati- on of the Temple of the Lord, they appoin- ted the Priests in their apparel with trum- pets, and the Leuites the ſonnes of Asaph with cymbales, to praisle the Lord, * after the ordinance of David King of Israel.

Thus they sang when they gaue praisc, and when they gaue thanks vnto the Lord. For he is good, for his mercy endureth for e- uer toward Israel. And al the people thou- ted with a great houte, when they praisd

the Lord, because h fundation of the house of the Lord was layed.

Many alio of the Priests and the Leuites and the chieſe of the fathers, ancient men, which had ſene the first houſe, ( when the fundation of this houſe was layed before their eyes) s wept with a loude voyce, and many houted alonee for tope,

So that the people could not diſcere the ſound of the houte for tope, from the noſke of the weeping of the people: for the people houted with a loude crie, t the noſke was heard farre of.

B. Bat the aduerſers of Judah z Ben-jamin heard, that the children of the captiuitie builded the Temple vnto the Lord God of Israel.

And they came to Zerubbabel, and to the chieſe fathers, and ſaid vnto them, We will build with you: we ſeeke the Lord your God as ye do, and we haue sacrificed vnto him since the time of Ekar Haddon King of Arthur, which brought his bp hither.

Then Zerubbabel, and Jelhua, and the rest of the chieſe fathers of Israel, ſaid vnto them, It is not for you, but for vs to build the house vnto our God: v for we our ſeues together will build it vnto the Lord God of Israel, as King Cyrus the King of Persia hath commanded vs.

Wherefore the people of the land * diſor- raged the people of Judah, a troubled them in building,

And they c hyred counſellers against them, to hinder their deviſe, all the dayes of Cy- rus King of Persia, even until the reigne of Darius King of Persia.

And in the reigne of d Ahab uerobly (in the beginning of his reigne) wotte they an ac- culation against the inhabitants of Judah and Jerusalem.

And in the dayes of e Artahhshalhe, Ap- thedath, Tabeel, and the rest of their com- panions wote whs it was peace, vnto Ar- tahhshalhe King of Persia, and the witing of the letter was the Aramites witing, a the thing declared was in the language of the Aramites.

Rehun the *chancelour, and ſhimhail the ſcribe wotte a letter against Jerusalem to Artahhshalhe the King, in this ſoſt.

Then wrote Rehun the chancelour, and ſhimhail the ſcribe, and their companions e Dinaie, and Apharathcaie, Tarpelae, A- pharfaie, Archenae, Dablaie, Shuhani- chae, Dehae, Einaie,

And the rest of the people whom the great and noble e Alnappat brought ouer, and let in the cities of Samaria, and c ther that are beyond the h Riuer and Chee ceth.

This is the copie of the letter that they ſent vnto King Artahhshalhe, Thy SER- VANTS the men beonde the Riuer and Cheeneth ſalure thee.

g Because the failure that it was not as that Temple, which had built a new building, and many houted alonee for tope, and praisd the God that healde more beautiful then the ſint: mera- tine the pious Tempel, which are the number of Chaste vobp.

14 And of the ſonnes of Biguai, Uthai, and Zabbud, and with them ſeuentie maleſes.

15 And I gathered them to the River that goeth towarde Ahaua, and there abode we three daſes: then I bewed the people, and the Priests, and found there none of the ſonnes of Leu.

16 Thereſore ſent I to Eliezer, to Ariel, to Shemeiah, and to Elnathan, and to Jairib, and to Elnathan, and to Nathan, and to Zechariah, and to Mehullam the chief, and to Jotarib and to Elnathan, men of understanding,

17 And I gaue them commandement, to Jddo the chiefest at the place of Calephia, and I tolde them the wordes that they ſpeake to Jddo, and to his brethen the Nethinims at the place of Califphia, that they should cause the minijers of the house of our God to come vnto vs.

ſi the chreſt that the end of ſalaring is to humble the bodie to the ſpirit, which must prieede of the heart likely touched or els it is but hypocrisie. g He thought it better to commit him ſelſe to the protection of God, then by seeking thesse ordinarie means, to gueſe an occasion to others to thinke that he did doubt of God, power,

25 And weighed them the filuer & the golde, and the beſſels euen the offring of the house of our God, which the King and his counteers, and his Princes, and all Israel that were present had offred.

26 And I weighed vnto their hand the hundreth and eſſie talents of filuer, and in filuer beſſel, an hundreth talents, and in gold, an hundreth talents:

27 And twentie baſins of gold, of a thousand diaines, of two beſſels of thinning braise very good, and precious as golde.

28 And I laid vnto them, We are consecrate vnto the Lord, and the beſſels are consecrate, and the golde and the filuer are freely offred vnto the Lord God of your fathers.

29 Watch ye, and keepe them until ye weigh them before the chieſe Priests and the Leuites, and the chief fathers of Israel in Jeruſalem in the chambers of the house of the Lord.

30 So the Priests and the Leuites received the weight of the filuer and of the golde, and of the beſſels to bring them to Jeruſalem, vnto the house of our God.

31 Then we Departed from River of Ahaua on the twelfth day of the first moneth, to go vnto Jeruſalem, and the hande of our God was upon vs, and deliuered vs from the hand of the enemie, and of such as layed out before the way.

32 And we came to Jeruſalem, and abode there three daſes.

33 And on the fourth daſe was the filuer weighed, and the golde and the beſſel in the house of our God by the hande of Me REMOTH the ſonne of Utriah the Priſt, and with him was Cleazar the ſonne of Phnehas, and with them was Joabad the ſonne of Jehua, and Aoadiah the ſonne of Binu the Leuites,

34 By nomber and by weight of euery one, and al the weight was written at the same time.

35 Alſo the children of the captiuitie, which were come out of captiuitie, offred burnt offrings vnto the God of Israel, twelve bullockes for all Israel, ninetie and five tammes, ſeuentie and ſeuen Lambes, and twelve hee goates for ſinne: all was a burnt offering of the Lord.

36 And they delivered the Kings commission vnto the Kings officers, & to the captaines beyond the River: and they promoted the people, and the house of God.

When as theſethings were done, the rulers came to me, laying the people of Israel, and the Priſts and the Leuites are not separated from the people of the lands (as touching their abominations) to wit, of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Februiles, the Ammonites, the Moabites, the Egyptiſs, and the Amorites.

2. For they have taken their daughters to them, and to their fonnes, and they have mixed the holie seede with the people of the landes, and the hande of the princes and rulers hath bene chief in this trespasse. But when I heard this saying, I rent my clothes and my garment, and pluckt of the heare of mine head, and of my bearde, and late downe atonied.

b That is, the government are the chiefest beginners hereof.

3. And there assembled vnto mee all that feared the words of the God of Israel, because of the transgression of them of the captiuitie. And I late downe atoned vntill the *evening sacrifice.

c As one doubting whether God would continue his benefits to us toward us, or should he do this which he had before. Exod. 2:29, 30.

4. And there assembled vnto mee all that feared the words of the God of Israel, because of the transgression of them of the captiuitie. And I late downe atoned vntill the *evening sacrifice.

5. And at the evening sacrifice I arose vp to mine heavines, and when I had rent my clothes, and my garment, I fell vp, my knees, and layed out mine hands vnto the Lord my God.

e That is, we are distichned out of nature.

e The words that there can not growe greater.

6. And said, O my God, I am confounded, as ashamed, to lift vp mine eyes vnto thee my God: for our iniquities are increased over our head, and our trespasse is growen vp into the heauen.

7. From the daies of our fathers haue we bene in a great trespasse vnto this day, and for our iniquities haue we, our kings, & our Drieke's bene delivered into the hande of the kings of the landes, vnto the swoode, into captiuitie, into a people, and into confusion of face, as appeareth this day.

8. And now for a little space grace hath bene shewed from the Lord our God, in causing a remnant to escape, and in giving vs a naple in his holy place, that our God may light our eyes, and give vs a little復ing in our seruitude.

f In giving vs a reeling place. It is a limit, but the taken of them that复intine him in a place, which future under to hang things vp, Ja. 1:23.

9. For though we were bonded, yet our God hath not for taken vs in our bondage, but hath enclined mercie vnto vs in the light of the Kings of Persia, to give vs life, and to e'rect the houle of our God, as to redresse the delolate places therof, and to give vs a wal in Judah and in Jeruſalem.

10. And now our God, what shall we say after this: for we have for taken thy commandments,

End of spe.

11. Which thou haſt commaunded by thy seruants the Prophets, saying, * The lande whereunto ye goe to posſeſe it, is an unclean lande, because of the filthinesse of the people of the landes, which by their abominations, & by their uncleane vs haue filled it from corner to corner.

Deu. 1:6.

12. Now therefore that ye not give your daughters vnto their fonnes, neyther that ye take their daughters vnto your fonnes, nor seeke their * peace nor wealth for euer, that yee may be strong and eate the goodnes of the land, and leane it for an inheritance to your fonnes for euer.

g. Fall not into the hands of thy brother.

h. Fall not into the hands of thy brother.

13. And after all that is come vpon vs for our evill deeds, and for our great trespasses, (keeping that thou our God haſt stayed vs from being beneath vs for our iniquities, and haſt given vs such deliverance)

14. Should we returne to breake thy commandementes, and to yne in affinitie with the people of such abominations? wouleſt not thou be angrie toward vs till thou haddest consumed vs, to that there should be no remnant no: any escaping?

15. O Lord God of Israel, thou art just, for we have bene referred to escape, as appeareth this day: beholde, we are before thee in our trespasse: therefore we can not stand before thee because of it.

The people repent and turne, and put away their strange twines.

1. W hiles *Ezra played thus, as confirmed him ſelfe weeping, as falling downe before the houle of God, there assembled vnto him of Israel a verie great Congregation of men and women, children: for the people wept with a great lamentation.

2. Then Shechaniah the ſonne of Jehiel one of the ſonnes of Elam, and wered, and ſayde to Ezra, *O ee haue trespasseſed againſt our God, and haue taken strange wuues of the people of the land, yet nowe there is hope in Israel concerning this.

1. Exod. 8:29.

2. He confesſed his ſonnes and the ſonnes of the people.

3. Now therefore let vs make a couenant with our God, to put away all the wuues (and such as are borne of them) according to the counsel of the Lord, and of thole that feare the commandements of our God, and let it be done according to the Lawe.

3. Dechaniah, a sonne of Jehiel, one of the ſonnes of Elam, and was then a foreigner, and therefore called him God, and he received him into the house of the Lord.

4. Arise: for the matter belongs vnto thee: wee also will be with thee: be of comfoſte and do it.

4. Which are strangers and married to the Law of God.

5. Then arose Eza, and caused the chieſe Drieke's, the Leuites, as all Israel, to weare that they would do according to this word. So they ſware.

5. Because god hath given thee auantie, and learning to perwade the people he required them.

6. And *Atid Eza rose vp from before the houſe of God, and went into the chamber of Jo-hanan the ſonne of Eliab: he went euen thither, but he did eate neپther breade, nor diuine water: for he mourned, because of the transgression of them of the captiuitie.

7. And they caused a Proclamation to goe throughout Judah as Jeruſalem, vnto all the chieſe of Israel, that they should alſemble them ſelues vnto Jeruſalem.

8. And whoſeuer woude not come within three daies according to the counſell of the Princes and Elders, all his subſtace should be for toſaite, and he should be ſeparate from the Congregation of them of the captiuitie.

7 The buyping of Jerusalem is hunderd, 15 But God breaketh their enterprize, 17 The Jewes buypid wuh one hand, and yhove their weare pons in the other.

1 But when Sanballat heard that weew builded the wall, then was he wroth a fore griuen, and mocked the Jewes,

a weake Jewes? wyl they fortifie them selues? will they sacrifice? will they finise it in a day? wil they make the stones whole againe out of the heapes of dust, seeing they are burnt.

b And Tobiah the Ammonite was behyde him, and layd, Although they buyld, yet if a fore go bp, he shal even breake downe their stone wall.

c Heare, O our God (foz we are despised) a turne their name upon their owne head, and give them vnto a pia p in the lande of their captiuitie,

d And couer not their e iniquitie, neither let their sinne be put out in thy prefence: fo: they haue pronounced vs before the builders.

e So we built the wall, and all the wall was toyned vnto the u halfe therof, and the heart of the people was to worke.

f But when Sanballat, a Tobiah, a the Arabians, and the Ammonites, a the Al- dodims heard that the walls of Jerusalem were repaired, (fo: the breaches began to be stopped) then they were very worth,

16 And from that dave, halfe of the yong men did the labour, and the other halfe parte of them helde the speares, and shieldes, and bowes, habergins: and the rulers floode behind all the house of Judah.

17 They that buiyed on the wall, and they that bare burdens, and they that laded, did the worke with one haude, and with the other held the sworde.

18 For every one of the buypiders had his sworde gyded on his lopes, and so buyped : and he that blewe the trumpet, was before mee.

19 Then layd J vnto the Princes, and to the rulers, a to the rest of the people, The worke is great a large, and we are separated vpon the wall, one farre from another.

20 In what place therefore ye heare the sound of the trumpet, k resort ye thither vnto vs: our God shall fight for vs.

21 So we laboured in the worke, and halfe of them helde the speares, from the appearing of the morning, till the stars came forth.

22 And at the fame layd J vnto the people, Let every one with his fervant lodge within Jerusalem, that they may be a watch for vs, in the night, and labour in the day.

23 So neither J, nor my brethren, nor my seruants, nor the men of the ward, (which followed me) none of vs did put of our clothes, faue every one put them of k washing.

1 The people are oppriued and in necritie, h Rahimah remedieeth it,

1 Now there was a great crye of the people, a of their wines against their brethren the Jewes.

2 For there were that layde, we, our sonnes and our daughters are many, therefore we take up b come, that we may eate and lue.

3 And there were that layde, we must gage our lands, and our vineyards, a our houles, and take vp come for the famine.

4 There were also that layde, we haue borrowed money for the Ringes c tribute vpon our lands and our vineyards.

5 And nowe our kelse is as d the kelse of our brethren, & our sonnes as their sonnes: and lo, we bring into subiection our sonnes, and our daughters, as fervants, and there be of our daughters now in subiection, and there is no power e in our hands: for other men haue our lands and our vineyards.

6 Then was I derie angrie when I heard their crie and these wordes.

7 And I thought in my minde, f I rebuked the princes, and the rulers, and layde vnto them, Bon laye g burthens every one vpon his brethren: and I set a great s assemblie against them,

Thanksgiving. 196

22 In the dayes of Eliashib, Joiada, and Joha-
nan and Jaddua were the chiefe fathers of
the Leuites written, and the Priests in the
reigne of Darius the Persian.

23 The Sonnes of Leui, the chief fathers were written in the booke of the Chronicles even unto the dayes of Johauan the Sonne of E- liashib.

24 And the chiefe of the Leuites were Hasha-
biah, Sherebiah, and Jeshua the Sonne of
Radmuel, and their children about them to
give prale and thankes, according to the or-
dinance of David the man of God, warde
ouer against warde.

25 Mattaniah & Bakbukiah, Obadiah, He-
yullam, Talmon and Akkud were poiters
keeping the warde at the thithholds of the
gates.

26 These were in the dayes of Joiaikim the
sonne of Jelhua, the Sonne of Jozadak, and
in the dayes of Nehemiah the captaine, and
of Ezra the Priest and Scribe.

27 And in the dedication of the wall at Jeru-
salem they bought the Leuites out of all their
places to bring them to Jerusalem to keepe
the dedication a gladnes, both with thank-
giuing and with songs, cymbales, violos a
with harpes.

28 Then the 4 fingers gathered them selfes
together both from the plaine countrey a-
bout Jerusalem, 4 Kro the villages of 5 Pe-
tophathi,

29 And from the house of Gilgal, and out of
the countries of Geba, and Azmuaeth: for
the fingers had built them villages rounde
about Jerusalem.

30 And the Priests and Leuites were puri-
ked, and cленſed the people, and the gates, a
the wall.

31 And I brought up the princes of Judah
upon the wall, and appointed two great co-
panies to give thankes, and the one went
on the right hande of the wall toward the
dung gate.

32 And after them went Holhaiah, and halfe
of the princes of Judah,

33 And Azariah, Ezra and Melhullam,

34 Judah, Benjamin, & Shematah, and Je-
remiah,

35 And of the Priests Sonnes with trumpets,
Zechariah the Sonne of Jonathan, the Sonne
of Shematah, the Sonne of Mattaniah, the
sonne of Dichaiah, the Sonne of Zaccur, the
sonne of Asaph.

36 And his brethren, Shemaiah, and Azare-
el, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Methaneel, and
Judah, Hanani, with the multicall instru-
ments of David the man of God; and Ezra
the Scribe went before them.

37 And to the gate of the fountain, even ouer
agaynst them went they vp by 1 the staples
of the citie of David, at the going vp of the
wall beyond the house of David, even unto
the water gate Caefward.

38 And the second company of them that gave
thankes, went on the other side, and I after

them, and the halfe of the people was upon
the wall, and upon the tower of the fornaces
euen unto the broad wall.

39 And upon the gate of Ephraim, and upon
the olde gate, and upon the silh gate, and the
tower of Hananeel, a the towre of Meah,
euen unto the sheepegate : and they stode
in the gate of the warde.

40 So stood the two companies (of them that
gave thankes) in the house of God, a J and
the halfe of the rulers with me.

41 The Priests albo, Eliakim, Maaseiah, Pi-
niamin, Michaiah, Eliocai, Zechariah,
Hananiah, with trumpets,

42 And Maafeiah, and Shemaiah, & Clea-
zar, and Uzzi, & Jehohanan, & Malchiiah,
and Alam, and Ezer: and the Singers' sang
loude, hauing Izhiahiah which was the o-
nerfeer.

43 And the same day they offered great sacri-
cles and reioyced : for God had given them
great iop, so that both the women, and the
children were iopfull: and the iop of Jeru-
salem was heard farre of.

44 Also at the same time were men appointed
over the chambers of 5 tofore: for 6 offerings
(for the first fruits, and for the tithes) to ga-
ther in to them out of the fields of the cities,
the porcions of the Law for the Priests and
the Leuites : for Judah reioyced for the
Priests and for the Leuites, that served.

45 And both the Singers and the Leuites kept
the ward of their God, and the ward of the
purification according to the commande-
ment of David, and Salomon his Sonne.

46 *For in the dayes of Daud and Asaph, of 7 Chro. 1:16,
olde were chiefe Singers, and songs of prale
and thankieliuing unto God.

47 And in the dayes of Zerubbabel, a in the
dayes of Nehemiah did all Israel give po-
ctions unto the Singers & poiters, every day
his poiecion, and they gaue the holy things
unto Leuites, & the Leuites" gaue the holp
things unto the Sonnes of Aaron.

m Which were chambers appointed by the sekeliah to put in the tithes, a such things, & Ch. 31, 1:11 now were vsed againe for the fame life.

Artah-
shalthe King of Babel, came Jbunto J King,
and "after certaine dayes J obtrepned of the
King.

And when J was come to Jerusalem, I
understood the evil that Eliashib had done
fo: Tobiah, in that he had made him a chas-
ber in the court of the house of God,

And it grieued mee sole: therefore I cast
forth all the vessels of the house of Tobiah
out of the chamber.

And I commanded them to cleose the cham-
bers; and thither brought I againe the be-
fels of the house of God with the meate of-
king and the incense.

And I perceived that the porcions of the
Levites had not bene given, and that every
one was fled to his land, even the Levites &
lingers that executed the worke.

Then reproved J the rulers & laid, who is
the house of God foraken? And I assembled
them, and let them in their place.

Then brought al Judah the tithes of come
and of wine, and of ople unto the treasures.

And I made treasurers over the treasures,
Shelemiah the Driest, & Zadok the scribe,
and of the Levites, Dedaiah, & vnder their
hand Hanan the sonne of Zaccur the sonne
of Mattaniah: for they were counted faith-
full, and their office was to distribute vnto
their brethren.

Remember me, D my God, herein, and
wipe not out my kindnes? I have shewed
on the house of my God, and on the offices
thereof.

In those dayes I in Judah them, that
trode wine presses on the Sabbath, & that
brought in the haues, and which laded alles
also with wine, grapes, and figges, and all
burdens, and brought them into Jeruſalem
upon the Sabbath day : and I reproved
to them in the day that they sold vitaines.

There dwelt men of Tyrus also therein,
which brought filth and all wares, and solde
on the Sabbath unto the children of Judah
euen in Jerusalem.

Then reproved J the rulers of Judah, and
laid vnto them, What evil thing is this that
ye do, and breake the Sabbath day?

Did not your fathers h thus, and our God
brought all this plague vpon us, and vpon
this citie? yet yee increase the wath vpon

Israel, in breaking the Sabbath.

And when the gates of Jerusalem began
to be darke before the Sabbath, I com-
maunded to shut the gates, and charged,
that they should not be opened till after the
Sabbath, and some of mySERVANTS set J at
the gates, that there should no burden be
brought in on the Sabbath day.

So the chapmen and marchants of all
marchadise remained once or twice al night
without Jerusalem.

And I reproved among them, & laid vnto
them, Why tarp ye al might about the wall?
If ye do it once again, I will lay hands vpon
you. From that time came they no more on
the Sabbath.

And I laid vnto the Levites that they
should cleose themselves, & that they should
come and k eepe the gates, to fanctifie the
Sabbath day. Remember me, D my God,
concerning this, and pardon me according
to thy great mercie.

In those daies also I saw Jewes & married
wives of 1 Ashdod, of Amnon, & of Moas 1

And their children spake halfe in (peach)
of Ashdod, & could not speake in the Jewes
language, and according to the language of
the one people, and of the other people.

Then I reproved them, and m cirked them,
and inote certaine of them, & pulled of their
heare, & tooke an othe of them by God, I
shall not give your daughters vnto they:
sonnes, neither shall ye take of their daugh-
ters vnto your sonnes, no: for your selues.

*Did not Salomon p King of Israel linnè
by these things ? yet among manp nations
was there no King like him: for he was* be-
loved of his God, and God had made him
King ouer Israel: *yet strange women cau-
fed him to linne.

Shal we then obey vnto you, to do al this
great evil, & to transgresse against our God,
euen to marry strange wines?

And one of the sonnes of Joada the sonne
of Eliashib the he Driest was the sonne in
lawe of Sanballat the Hozonite : but I
chafed him from me.

Remember them, D my God, that n defile
the Driesthode, and the couenaint of the
Driesthood, and of the Leuites.

Then cleaned J them from al strangers,
and appointed the wardes of the Driests &
of the Leuites, euere one in his office,

And for the offering of the wood at tymes
appointed, and for the first fruits. Remem-
ber me, D my God, ° in goodnes.

I about the time that the linnè went
home for the Sabbath las
brought from the linnè
gong home of the one day, to the
home getting of the other.

A the dayes of a Ahalhueroh (this is Ahalhueroh that reigned, from India euen unto Ethiopia, ouer an hundred, and seuen at twenty provinces)

In those dayes when
the King Ahalhueroh 'tate on his throne,
which was in the palace of * Shusban,

In the thirde yere of his reigne, he made a feale unto all his princes and his ferdants, euen the power of Perſia and Media, to the captaines and governing of the prouinces which were before him,

That he might show the riches and glorie of his kingdome, to the honour of his great maielie many dayes, euen an hundredeth and foure core dayes,

And when these dayes were expired, the
king made a feale to al the people that were
found in the palace of Shusban, both unto
great and small, fewen dayes, in the court of
the garden of the kings palace,

6 Vnder an hanging of white, greene, and
blewe clothes, fastened with coudes of fine
linen, a purple, in filuer rings, and pillers of
marble: the beddes were of golde, and of
filuer upon a paeuemet of porphyre, a marble
and alabaster, and blewe colour.

7 And they gave them drinke in beffels of
golde, and changed beſſell after beſſell,
and roypall wine in abundance according to the
power of the King.

8 And the drinking was by an order, none
might compell: for so the king had appointed
unto all the officers of his house, that they
should do according to every mans pleasure.

9 The Queene Wathi made a feale also for;
the women in the royal house of King Ahalhueroh.

10 Upon the ſeventh daye when the King
was merie with wine, he commanded Me-
human, Bitha, Harbona, Bigtha, Abag-
tha, Zethar, & Carcas, the ſeuen eunuches,
(that ferued in the preſence of King Ahalhueroh)

11 To bring Queene Wathi before the King
with the croune royal, that he might ſlew
the people and the princes her beautitè: for
she was faire to looke upon.

12 But the Queene Wathi refused to come
at the King's word, which he had giuen in
charge to eunuches: therefore the King was
very angry, and his wath kindled in him.

13 Then the King ſaid to the wife men, b that

15 What shall we do vnto the Queene Wathi
according to the law, because she did not ac-
cording to the word of the King Ahalhuer-
oh by the comuion of the eunuches?

16 Then Memuca anſwered before the king
and the princes, The Queene Wathi hath
not onely done k illu agaynſt the King, but
against all the princes, and against all the
people that are in all the prouinces of King
Ahalhueroh.

17 For the ¹ acte of the Queene shall come a-
bide vnto all women, so that they shall de-
ſpise their husbands in their owne eyes, and
shall lay, The King Ahalhueroh comman-
ded Wathi the Queene to be brought in be-
fore him, but he came not.

18 So shall the "princesses of Perſia" & Me-
dia this day lay vnto all the kings Princes,
when they heare of the acte of the Queene:
thus shall there be much deſpitefulneſſe and
wrath.

19 If it please the king, let a royal decree pro-
ceede from him, and let it be written among
the Statutes of Perſia, and Media (and let
it not be transgresſed) that Wathi come no
more before king Ahalhueroh: and let the
king give her roypall estate vnto her compa-
nion that is better then the.

20 And when the decree of the king which
ſhalbe made, shall be published throughout
all his kingdome (though it be ° great) all
the women shall gine their huxbandes ho-
nour, both great and small.

21 And this ſaying pleased the king and the
princes, and the king did according to the
word of Memuca.

22 For he lent letters into all the prouinces of
the king, into every province according to §
writing thereof, and to every people after
their language, § every man should beare
rule in his owne house, and that he shoulde
publish it in the language of þame people.

6 Which had bene caried away from Je-
rufalem* with the captiuitie that was ca-
ried away with Jekeonah King of Judah
(whome Nebuchadnezzar King of Babel
had caried away)

7 And he nourished Hadallah, that is Eker,
his dneles daughter: for he had neither fa-
ther no mother, and the mayde was fapre,
and beautifull to looke on: and after the
death of her father, and her mothet, Mo-
decai tooke her for his owne daughter.

8 And when the Kings commaundement, &
his decree was published, & many maides
were brought together to the palace of
Shulhan, under & had of Hege, Eker was
brought alio unto the Kings house under &
hand of Hege the keeper of the women.

9 And the mayd pleased him, and she found
favour in his light: therefore he caused her
things for purification to be giuen her pee-
dily, & her † state, and seuen comely maides
to bee giuen her out of the Kinges house,
and he gaue change to her † to her maides

10 But Ester shewed not her people and her kinred: for Mordecai had charged her, that she should not tell it.

e. *For though
she was taken
away by a cru-
el law, yet he
crealed not to
have a father

her, as therefore

11 And Mordecai walked every day before
the court of the womens house, to know
if Ester did well, and what should be done
with her.

12 And when the course of every maid came,
to go in to King Ahasuerosh, after that she
had bene twelue monethes according to the
maner of the women (for so were the dapes
of their purifications accomplished, ſir mo-

cept the pleased the King, and that she were called by name.

15 Now when the course of Ester † daughter
of Abihail the uncle of Mordecai (which
had taken her as his owne daughter) came,
that he should go in to the King, he defixed
nothing, but what Hege the Kings eunuch

17 And the King loued Ester above all the
women, and he founde grace & favour in his
ſight more then al the virgins: so that he set

the crowne of the kingdome upon her head,
and made her Queene in stead of Ahashti.

18 Then the King made a great feast unto all
his princes, and his ſeruants, which was †the
feast of Ester, and gaue rest ‡ unto the pro-

19 And when the virgins were gathered the

20 Ester had not yet ſhewed her kinred no

i. Haman, after he was exalted, obtained of the King, that al the Jews
thouſt be put to death, because Mordecai had not done him wouſh
as other had.

A After these things did King Ahasuer-
soth promote Haman the ſonne of
Hammedatha the Alagite, & exalted
him, and let his ſeate aboue all the princes
that were with him.

And all the Kings ſeruantes that were at
the Kings gate, bowed their knees, and re-
uerenced Haman: for the King had so com-
maunded concerning him : but Mordecai
beweard not the knee, neither did reverence.

Then the Kings ſeruants which were at the
Kings gate said unto Mordecai, and by trai-
ges left thou the Kings commandement?

And albeit they spake dayly into him, yet
he woulde not heare them: therefore they
b told Hamā, that they might fee how Mor-
decai's matters would stand: for he had told
them, that he was a Jewe.

And when Haman saw that Mordecai bo-
wed not the knee into him, no: did reuerenc-
e into him, then Haman was full of wraath.

Now he thought it to little to lay hands
only on Mordecai: and because they had
ſhewed him the people of Mordecai, Hamā
sought to deſtroy all the Jewes, that were
throughout the whole Kingdome of Aha-
nueroth, even the people of Mordecai.

In the first moneth (that is † moneth ‡ Mi-

they caſt Pur (that is a lot) ‡ before Haman.

3 Then the king said, What honour a digni-

4 And the kings SERUANTS that munificed him
unto him, said, There is nothing done for him,
And the King saide, who is in the court?
5 (Now Haman was come into the inner
court of the Kinges house, that hee myght
speake vnto the King to b]ag Mordecai ouer
the tree that he had prepared for so him.)
6 And the Kings SERUANTS said unto him, Be-
holde, Haman standeth in the court. And
the King said, Let him come in.

3

Then sayd the King vnto her, What wilt
thou, Queene Ester? a what is thy request?
it shall be even giuen c thee to the halfe of the
kingdome.

4

Then sayd Ester, If it pleale the King, let
the King a Haman come this day vnto the
banket, that I haue prepared for him.

5

And the King said, Cause Haman to make
hafte that he may do as Ester hath said, So
the King and Haman came to the banket
that Ester had prepared.

6

And the King layde vnto Ester at the ban-
ket of a wine, what is thy petition, that it
may be giuen thee; and what is thy request?
it shall even be performed vnto the halfe of
the kingdome.

d Because then

d then called he
the banket be the
name of that,
which was
most in vse of
enmered.

7

Then answere Ester, and layd, Hy petition and my request is,

8

If I haue found fauour in the fight of the
King, and if it pleale the King to give me my
petition, and to performe my request, let the
King and Haman come to the banket that
I shall prepare for them, and I will do to
morrow according to the Kings laying.

9

Then went Haman forth the same day
joyful and with a glad heart. But whie ha-
man saw Mordecai in the Kings gate, that
he stood not vp, nor moved for him, then
was Hamas ful of indignation at Mordecai.

c I will beare
what thing I
demand.

10

Neuertheles Haman refrained himselfe:
and when he came home, he sent, and called
for his friendes, and Zereth his wife.

11

And Haman tolde them of the gloze of his
tiches, and the multitude of his children, a
all the things wherein the King had p[ro]-
noted him, and how that he had let him a-
done the princes and SERUANTS of the King.

Haman layde moeouer, Pea, Ester the

King to the banket that mee had prepared,
same me: and to morrow am I bidden vnto
her also with the King.

13

But all this doeth nothing auaine me, as
long as I see Mordecai the Jew sitting at
the kings gate.

14

Then layde Zereth his wife and all his
friends vnto him, Let them make a tree of
fistie s[ub]cites tie, and to mozowe speake
thou vnto the King, that Mordecai may be
banged thereon: then shall thou go joyfully
with the King vnto the banket. And the
thing pleased Haman, as he caused to make

3 Then the king said, What honour a digni-
tie hath bene given to Mordecai for this?
4 And the Kings SERUANTS that munificed him
unto him, said, There is nothing done for him,
And the King saide, who is in the court?
5 (Now Haman was come into the inner
court of the Kinges house, that hee myght
speake vnto the King to b]ag Mordecai ouer
the tree that he had prepared for so him.)
6 And the Kings SERUANTS said unto him, Be-
holde, Haman standeth in the court. And
the King said, Let him come in.

7

8

And when Haman came in, the King said
unto him, What shall be done vnto the man,
whome the King will honour? The Haman
thought in his heart, To whom would the
King do honour more then to me?

7

And Haman answere the King. The man
whom the King would honour,

8

Let the bring for him royal apparel, which
the King seeth to weare, and the h[oe] that
the King rideth vpore, and that the crowne
royall may be let upon his head.

9

And let the raiment and the house be deli-
ered by the hande of one of the Kings most
noble princes, and let them apparel the man
(whome the King will honour) and cause
him to ride upon the horse through the street
of the citie, and proclaime before him, Thus
shall it be done vnto the man, whome the
king will honour.

10

Then the king said to Haman. Make haſte,
sake the raiment and the h[oe] as thou haſt
layde, and doe so vnto Mordecai the Jewe,
that sitteth at the Kings gate: let nothing
faile of all that thou haſt spoken.

11

So Haman tooke the raiment a the h[oe],
and arayed Mordecai, and brought him on
h[oe] backe through the streete of the citie,
a proclaimed before him. Thus shall it be done to the man whom the King will honour.

12

And Mordecai came againe to the Kings
gate, but Haman haſted home mourning
and his head couered.

13

And Haman told Zereth his wife, and all
his friendes all that had befallen him. Then
said his wife men, and Zereth his wife bu-
to him, If Mordecai be of the keede of the
Jewes, before whom thou haſt begonne to
fall, thou haſt not preuale against him, but
haſt surely fall before him.

14

And whyle they were yet talking wyth
him, came the kinges eunuches, and haſed
to bring Haman vnto the banket that Ester
had prepared.

the King shall

And Ester the Queene answered, a said, If I haue found fauour in thy light, O King, a it pleaseth the King, let my life be giuen mee at my petition, a my people at my request.

For we are solde, J, and my people, to be destroyed, to be slayne and to perish : but if we were solde for seruantes, and for hand-maydes, I would haue helde my togue: although the aduerlarie couldle not b recompenſe the Kings loſſe.

Then King Ahabherosli anſwered, a layd unto the Queene Ester, who is hee? and where is he that c prefumeth to do thus?

And Ester laid, The aduerſary and enemie is this wicked Haman. Then Haman was aſtayd before the King and the Queene.

And the King aroſe from the banke of wine in his math, and went into the palace garden: but Haman itode vp, to make request for his life to the Queene Ester: for he sawe that there was a c muchlieſe prepared for him of the King.

And when the King came againe out of the palace garden, into the house where they danke wine, Haman was a fallen vp on the bed whereon Ester face : therefore the King laid, Now he force the Queene also before me in the house. As the word went out of the Kings mouth, they c ouered Hamans face. And Harbonah one of the cunuches, layd in the prefence of the King, Beholde, there stådeth yet the tree in Hamans house aſtik cubites he, which Haman had prepared for; Mordecai, that I pake i good for the King. Then the King laid Hang him thereon.

So they hanged Haman on the tree, that he had prepared for Mordecai: the was the Kings wath pacified.

### CHAP. VIII.

After the death of Haman was Mordecai ecalted, 14 Comploratise letters are lent vnto the Jewes.

The same dape did King Ahabherosli gine the house of Haman, a aduerlarie of the Jewes vnto the Queene Ester. And Mordecai c ame before the King: for Ester told what he was b vnto her.

And the King tooke of his ring, which hee had taken from Haman, and gaue it vnto Mordecai : and Ester let Mordecai ouer the house of Haman.

And Ester pake yet more before the King, and fel done at his keere weeping, and be-lought him, if he would put away the c wickelednes of Haman the Agagite, a his deuise that he had imagined against the Jewes.

And the King helde out the golden c seepster to ward Ester. Then aroſe Ester, a stood before the King.

And layd, If it pleaseth the King, a if I haue founde fauour in his light, and the thing be acceptable before the King, a I pleaseth him, let it be written, that the letters of the deuile of Haman the ſonne of Ammedatha the Agagite may be called agayne, which hee wrote to destroy the Jewes, that are in all the Kings provinces.

For how can I luffer and see the euill, that

shall come vnto my people? Or howe can I luffer and see the deſtruction of my kinred? And the King Ahabherosli layd vnto the Queene Ester, a to Mordecai y Jewe, Beholde, I haue giuen Ester the house of Haman, whom they haue hanged vpon y tree, because he" layd hand vpon the Jewes.

Write ye alſo for the Jewes, as it liketh you in the Kinges name, and keale it with the Kings ring (for the wittings written in the Kinges name, a sealed with the kings ring, map no c man reuoke).

Then were the King scribes called at the same time, euen in the third moneth, that is the moneth f Siues, on the three a twentietieth day thereof: and it was witten, according to all as Mordecai commanded vnto the Jewes a to the pinces, and captaines, a rulers of the prouinces, which were from India euen vnto Ethiopia, an hundreth a ſeuens a ventie prouinces, vnto euery province, according to the s writing thereof, a to euery people after their ſpeache, a to the Jewes, according to their writing, and according to their language.

And hee wrote in the King Ahabherosli name, a sealed it with the Kinges ring : and he lent letters by poſtes on housebacke and that rode on beakes of price, as diomedaries and" colles of mares.

Wherein the King granted the Jewes (in what cities ſouer they were ) to gather every province together, a to stande for their life, & to roote out, to lay and to deſtroy all the power of the people and of the province that theyed them, both children a women, and to ſpoyle their goods:

Upon one day in all the prouinces of King Ahabherosli, euen in the thirteenth day of y twelft moneth, which is y moneth i Adar.

The copie of the writing was, howe there should be a commandement giuen in al and every province, published among al the people, and that the Jewes should be readie a gavint that daye to k auenge them ſelues on their enemies.

So the poſtes rode vpon beaſts of price, and diomedaries, & went forſt with ſpeede, to execute the Kinges commandement, and the decree was giuen at Shuhan the palace.

And Mordecai went out from the King in royal apparel of blewe, and white, a with a great crown e of golde, and with a garment of fine linen a purple, and the citie of Shuhan reioyced and was glad.

And vnto the Jewes was come light and ioy and gladnes, and honour.

Also in all and every province, and in all a every city a place, where the Kinges commandement a his decree came, there was ioy a gladnes to the Jewes, a keale a good day, a many of y people of y lay m became Jewes: for the keare of the Jewes fell vpon them.

### CHAP. IX.

After the commandement of the King the Jewes put their aduerſaries to death. 14 The ten ſonnes of Haman are hanged, 17 The Jewes koope a keale in remembiance of their deliuerance.

a Haman could not be much pious to the King, but his inlitter, as he builded him the loſſe of the keare, as the aduerſary which he hathe laid before him.

Hamans Jonnes hanged.

Ester.

A new feaſt.

1

S O in the twelft moneth, which is the moneth Adar, upon the thirteth day of the fame, when the Kings commandement a his decree d'iewe neere to be put in execution, in the day that the enemies of the Jewes hoped to haue power ouer the (but it a turned contrary: for the Jewes had rule ouer them that hated them)

2

The Jewes gathered themelues together into their cities throughout all the provinces of the King Ahabhuerolh, to lay hand on such as sought their hurt, and no ma coulde withstand them: for the fear of them fell upon all people.

3

And all the rulers of the prouinces, and the princes and the captaines, a the officers of the King b exalted the Jewes: for the fear of Mordecai fell upon them.

4

For Mordecai was great in the Kings houle, a the report of him went through all the prouinces: for this ma Mordecai waxed greater and greater.

5

Thus the Jewes lnote all their c enemies with krokes of the twoes a laughter, and destruction, and did what they would onto those that hated them.

6

And at Shubhan the palace flew & Jewes and destroyed d five hundreth men,

7

And Parhandatha, and Dalphon, and Alpatha,

8

And Doratha, and Adalia, and Aridatha,

9

And Darmahta, and Arisai, a Aridai, and Wlaiezatha,

10

The ten Jonnes of Haman, the Jonne of Ammedatha, the aduerfarie of the Jewes flewe they: but they layed not their hands c on the spople.

11

On the same day came the nomber of those that were slayne, onto the palace of Shubhan before the King.

12

And the King laid onto the Queene Ester, The Jewes haue slayne in Shubhan the palace and destroyed five hundreth men, a the ten Jonnes of Haman: what haue they done in the rest of the Kings prouinces; and what is thy petition, that it may be given thee; or what is thy request morouer, that it may be performed?

13

Then lay de Ester, if it please the King, let it be granted also to morowe to the Jewes that are in Shubhan, to do according vnto this daies decree, that they may hang upon the tree Hamans ten Jonnes.

14

And the King charged to do so, and the decree was given at Shubhan, and they hanged Hamans ten Jonnes.

15

So the Jewes that were in Shubhan, assembled them felues vpon the fourteenth day of the moneth Adar, a slewethree hundreth men in Shubhan, but on vspople they layed not their hand.

16

And the rest of the Jewes that were in the kings prouinces assembled themelues, and sfoode for their liues, a had rest from their enemies, and sime of them that hated them,

b seuentie and sime thousand: but they layed

not their hand on the spople.

17

This they did on the thirteenth day of the moneth Adar, a refted the fourteenth day thereof, and kept it a day of feasting a ioye.

18

But the Jewes that were in Shubhan assembled themelues on the thirtenth day, a on the fourteenth thereof, and they refted on the fifteenth of the fame, and kept it a day of feasting and ioy.

19

Therefore the Jewes of the billages that dwelt in the unwalled townes, k kept the fourteenth day of the moneth Adar with ioy a feasting, euen a ioyfull day, and euery one sent preſents onto his neighbour.

20

And Mordecai wrote these words, and sent letters vnto all the Jewes that were through all the prouinces of the King Ahabhuerolh, both neere and farre,

21

Iuopying them that they should keep the fourteenth day of the moneth Adar, and the fifteenth day of the fame, euery pere.

22

According to the daies wherein the Jewes reſted from their enemies, and the moneth which was turned vnto them from so to we to ioy, a from mourning into a ioyful day, to keepe them the daies of feasting, and ioy, m to ſende preſents euery man to his neyghbour, and giſtes to the poore.

23

And the Jewes promiued to do as they had begun, a as Mordecai had wittè vnto the,

24

Because Haman the londe of Ammedatha the Agagite all the Jewes aduerfarie, had imagined againſ & Jewes, to destroy them, and had n caſt Dur (that is a lot) to confume and destroy them.

25

And when ſee came before the King, he commaſed by letters, Let his wicked d eſtute (which he imagined againſ & Jewes) turne vpon his owne head, a let them hang him and his Jonnes on the tree.

26

Therefore they called these daies Purim, by the name of Pur, and becauſe of all the words of this letter, and of that which they had keene besides this, a of that which had come vnto them.

27

The Jewes also oſpned, and promiſed for them and for their ſeede, and for all that ioyned vnto the, that they would not n ſalle to obferue that two daies euery pere, acording to their writing, and according to their season,

28

And that these daies should be remeſed, and kept throughout euery generation and euery familie, a euery province, a euery city: euen these daies of Purim should not kavle among the Jewes, and the memoriall of them should not perſh from their ſeede.

29

And the Queene Ester the daughter of Abihaſ a Mordecai the Jewe wrote with all a uſtortie (to confirme this letter of Purim the second time).

30

And he ſent letters vnto all the Jewes to the hundreth a ſeuen and twentie prouinces of the kingDome of Ahabhuerolh, with w ords of peace and trueth,

31

To confirme these daies of Purim, according

h That is, at the reſe of a man can lap to appone their cause, if you do the reſe, he is able to anſwere him in eloquence, whereupon he dieth his friends, that albeit they were eloquent in their life, yet the reſe not in heart, that which they speake.

o I ſtall waulde him in mine owne defence, yet God hathe ill cause to condemn me, if the cranium mine heart, & confidence.

p I ſtall God purueth according to his uſtice, he will delroy aduise them that are counſered perſite as them that are picked.

q To wit, the wicked.

13 God is not withuſt draws his anger, and the moſt mightie helpes h do koupe under him.

14 How much leſſe shall I anſwere him? or how should I finde out my wordes with him?

15 For though I were uſt, yet could I not anſwere, but I would make ſupplication to my Judge.

16 If I crye, and he anſwere me, yet would I not beleuee, that he heard my crye.

17 For he deſtroyeth me with a tempest, and woundeth me m without cause.

18 He will not ſuffer me to take my heath, but filtheth me with bitternes.

19 If we speake of strength, beholde, he is a strong: if we speake of udgement, who that bring me in to pleade?

20 If I would inſtine my leſſe, mine owne mouth shall condemne me: o if I would be perſite, he shall uſide me wicked.

21 Though I were perſite, yet I knowe not my ſoule: therefore abhore I my lie.

22 This is one p[oynt]: therefore I layde, He deſtroyeth the p[er]ſite and the wicked.

23 If the ſcourge should lodeu[n]y flap, should God laugh at the puniſhment of the inno- cent?

24 The earth is given into the hand of a wic- ked: he c[ou]vereth the faces of the indiges thereof: o if not, where is he? or who is he?

25 My dayes haue bene more twiſt then a poſte: they haue fled, a haue leene no good thing.

26 They are p[as]ed as with a moſt twiſt ships, and as the eagle that k[y]eth to the p[ra]y.

28 Then I am afraid of al my ſo[wo]es, know- ing that thou wilt not uſide me innocent.

29 If I be wicked, why x labour I thus in vaine?

30 If I wash my leſſe with snowe water, a purge mine hands moſt cleane,

31 Pet that thou plunge me in the pit, a mine owne clothes shall make me filthe.

32 For he is not a man as I am, that I should anſwere him, if we come together to iudg[e]ed perſite as them that are picked.

33 Neither is there any u[mpe]re a that might lap his hand upon vs both.

34 Let him take his rod away from me, a let not his ſeare aſtonish me:

35 Then will I speake, a ſeare him not: b because I am not so, I holde me still.

M. I ſoule is cut of a though I liu: I am a man, I will leaue my b complaint upon my ſelſe, and will speake in the bitternes of my ſoule.

I will ſay unto God, c Condemne me not: shew me, wherefor thou contendest with me.

Thine k hands haue made me, and faconed me whole round about, and wilt thou deſtroy me?

Remember, I p[ra]y thee, that thou haſt made me as the clay, and wilt thou bring me into duſt againe?

Haſt thou not powd[er]ed me out as milke? and turned me to cruds like cheese?

Thou haſt clothed me with skin and k[es]h] and doped me together with bones and ſlnewes.

Thou haſt giuen me life, and m grace: and thy n bilitation h p[re]ſerved my spirit.

Though thou haſt hid theſe things in thine heart, yet I know o that it is do with thee.

If I haue finned, that thou wilt freghly looke upon me, and wilt not hold me güelt leſſe of mine iniquitie.

If I haue done wickedly, wo onto: if I haue done righteouſly, I will not p lift by mine head, being full of conſution, because I lee mine affliction.

12 His s armies came together, s made their
wave upon me, and camped about my ta-
dernacle.

13 He hath removed my breathien farre from
me, e also mine acquaintance were stran-
gers vnto me.

14 My neighbours haue forsaken me, e my
familiars haue forsotten me.

15 Thep that dwell in mine house, and my
maides tooke me for a stranger: for I was
a stranger in their fight.

16 I called my seruant, but he would not an-
swere, though I piaied him v to my mouth.

17 My breath was straunge vnto my wife,
though I piaied her for the childriens sake
of mine owne bodie.

18 The wicked also despised me, and when I
rose, they spake against me.

19 All my secrete friendes ahorrered me, and

22 Whye doe ye perfecute me, as a God? and

24 And gravien with F an ionn penne in lead,

this bodie, yet hal I see God in my felle.

27 Whom I my felle shall see, and mine eyes
shall behold, and none other for me, though
my repnes are consumed wittin g.

28 But ye faide, why is he perfecuted? And
there was a deepe matter in me.

29 Be ye atraited of the sword: for the sword
will be auenged of wickesnes, that ye may
know that there is a judgement.

Though his

been destroyed.

His was but perfecuted of God for his sinnes, per the declaration of the father, a confirmation to us, the trial of his fatch e patience, e so to be an example for others.

I haue heard a the correction of my reproch:
therefore the spirit of mine understanding
caueth me to answere.

And weft thou not this of olde? and since
God placed man vpon the earth?

That the reaping of the wicked is short,
and that the top of hypocrites is but a mo-
ment.

Though b his excellencie mount vp to the

heauen, and his heade reache vnto the
cloudes,

7 Yet shall he perish for euer, like his dung,
and they which have seene him, shall kape,
where he is?

He shall fee away as a dreame, and they
shall not finde him, and shall palle away as
a vision of the night.

9 So that the eye which had seene him, ha
do so no more, and his place shall fee him no
more.

10 His children shall e flatter the pooe, and
his handing shall e restore his substance.

11 His bones are full of the finne of his youth,
and e it shall lie downe with him in the dust.

12 No he wickednes was sweet in his mouth,
and he hid it vnder his tongue,

13 And fauoured it, and would not forsake it,
but kept it close in his mouth,

14 Then his meat in his bowels was turned:
the fall of Alpes was in the muddes of him.

15 He hath devoured substance, and he has
bomit it : for God shall drowe it out of his
bellie.

16 He shall sucke the e gall of Alpes, and the
vipers tongue shall flap him.

17 He shall not see the rivers, nor the floods
and streames of honie and butter.

18 He shall restore the labour, e shall deuoure
no more: euen according to the subfauence
shall be his exchange, e and he shall enioy it
no more.

19 For he hath done many : he hath forsa-
ken the pooe, and hath spoiled houſes which
he buyded not.

20 Surely he shall feele no quietnes in his bo-
die, neither shall he reſerve of that which he
delired.

21 There shall none of his k meate bee left:
therefore none shall hope for his goodes.

22 Whhe he shall be killed with his abundance,
he shall be in paine, and the hande e of all the
wicked shall affaile him.

23 He shall be about to fill his bellie, but God
shall fend vpon him his fierce wath, m and
shall caule to raine vpon him, euen vpon his
meate.

24 He shall fee from the ion weapons, and
the bow of feele shall strike him through.

25 The arrow is drowne out, and commeth
forth of the n bodie, and thyneth of his gall,
fo keare commeth vpon him.

26 o All darkenes shall be hid in his secrete
places: the fire that is not p blowne, shall
deuoure him, and that which remaineth in
his tabernacle, shall be destroped.

27 The heauen shall declare his wickednes,
and the earth shall rile vp against him.

28 The q increase of his house shall go away;
it shall flow away in the day of his wath.

29 This is the portion of the wicked man ke

6 would he 'plead against me with his great power? No, but he would e put strengthe in mee.

2 Job hecrieth the wicdeſt of men, and theweth what curſe be
longſt to the wuſked, 12 How all things are gonerſed by God
prouſion, 17 And the deſtruction of the wuſked.

How should not the times a behid ke
the Almightie, ſeeing that they which
know him, ſee not his b daies?

3 Some remove the land mathes, that robbe
the ſtockes and ſeede thereof.

4 They leade away the aſſe of the fatherles,
and take the widoſes ore to pieldge.

5 They make the pooe to turne out of the
way, to that the pooe of the earth hide their
ſelues together.

6 Beholde, others as wilde aſſes in the wil-
dernes, go forth to their buſines, and d rife
early for a play: the wildernes e giueth him
and his chilſen ſtooke.

7 They reape f his p[ro]ſuion in the kiſſe, but
they gather the late vintage of the wuſked.

8 They cauſe the naked to lodge without
garment, and without couering in the cold.

9 They are wette with the showes of the
mountaynes, h and they inbace the rocke
for want of a couering.

10 They plucke the fatherles from the bezak,
and take the pledge k of the pooe.

11 They that make oile 1 betweene their
wailles, and treade their wine p[ref]es, ſuffer
thirst.

12 Men m crie out of the citie, and the ſoules
of the claine n crie out: yet God doeth n not
charge them with follie.

13 These he are, that abhore the p light:
they know not the wapes thereof, no conti-
nue in the paths thereof.

14 The murtherer rileth early and killeth the
pooe and the neeſtie : and in the night he is
as a thicke.

15 The eye alſo of the 9 adulterer wayteth for
the twilight, and ſayeth, None epe hali ſee
me, and diſuſeth his face.

16 They digge through houſes in the darke,
which they marked for them ſelues in the
day: they know not the light.

17 But the morning is even to them as the
 shadow of death: iſ one knowe them, they
are in the terours of the shadow of death.

18 He is swift vpon the waters: their p[os]
cion shall be curſed in the earth: he will not
beholde the way of the vineyards.

19 As the drie ground and heate conſume the

20 "The pitifull man shall forget him: the
worine shall feele his ſweetnes: he hali no
more remembred, and the wuſked shall be
broken like a tree.

21 He<sup>2</sup> doth euill intreat the baren, that doth not beate, nepther doth he good to the wido.

22 That is,

d Job theweth that there that mocked him in his affliction, were like to their fathers, wicked, and fewl Kelowes, such as he here becrieth.

e Then make things of me a mocke at my miſterie,

f God hath taken from me the force, credit and authority, wherewith I kept them in subjection. g Ye God that the Son of Man when then they saw him, bid them follow, as chas. h And now in his inſufuer they were in uſpicient and the ſeruants. k That is, they ſought by all means how then might be done. l They beſt me none to help me. k 25. I am called Calamitie then tooke an occaſion against me. l I am called Calamitie, and I am as half dead.

n That is, God hath brought me in to contemni.

o He ſeeth not thus to acceſſ God, but to declare the behemencie of his affliction, whereby he was carried before him selfe. p He comakaneth his aſſuſions to an item profit of a ſpirits under. q Or, wurdome or Lawe, q One can believe me, because though their iament at my death,

r In stead of comforting there unchokd at me.

3. I for pouertie & famine they were solitarie, fleeing into the wildernes, which is darke, defolate and waste.

4. They cut vp "nettes" by the bushes, and the juniper rootes was their meate.

5. They were "chased forth from among men: they shouted at them, as at a thieſe.

6. Therefore they dwelt in the clefts of kiſers, in the holes of the earth and rocks.

7. They roared among the bushes, and but der the thistles they gathered themſelves.

8. They were the children of fooles and the children of bilaines, which were more vile then the earth.

9. And nowe am I their ſong, and I am their talke.

10. They abhorre me, and flee farre from me, and spare not to spit in my face.

11. Because that God hath loofed my ſcorde and humbled me, s they haue loofed the bide before me.

12. The youth rile vp at my right hand : they haue pusht my feete, and haue trode on me as on the "paths of their deſtruction."

13. They haue destroyed my paths : they toose pleasure at my calamitie, they had none ſhelpe.

14. They came as a great breache of waters, and k under this calamitie they come on heapes.

15. They are turned upon me: and they purſue my ſoule as the winde, and mine health pafth away as a cloude.

16. Therefore my ſoule is nowe 1 powred out upon me, and the dayes of affliction haue taken holde on me.

17. m It yeareth my bones in the night, and my fine west take no rest.

18. For the great behemencie is my garment changed, which copalleth me about as the colar of my coate.

19. n He hath cast me into the mire, and I am become like ashes and dust.

20. When I crye unto thee, thou doest not heare mee, neither regardest me, when I kande vp.

21. Thou turnest thy ſelke o' cruelly against me, and art enemie unto me with the strength of thine hand.

22. Thou takest me vp and causeſt me to ride upon the vwinde, and makeſt my "strength to fayle."

23. Surely I knowe that thou wilt bring me to death, and to the house appointed for all the living.

24. Doubtles none can stretch his hand o' bit to the grave, though they crye in his deſtruction.

25. Did not I weepe with him that was in trouble? was not my ſoule in heauines for the poore?

26. Yet when I looked for good, I eill came into me: a when I waited for light, there came darknes.

27. My bowels did boile without rest: for the dayes of affliction are come upon me.

28. I weſt mourning without ſunne: I stood vp in the congregation" and cried.

29. I am a brother to the "diagons," a company to the oftriches.

30. My ſkinne is blacke upon me, and my bones are burnt with heate.

31. Therefore mine harpe is turned to mouning, and mine organs into the vopce of them that weepe.

1. Job reſteth the inſuocence of his living, and number of his burres, which declareth what ought to be the life of the farthfull.

2. Made a covenant with mine eyes: why then should I thinke on a mayde.

3. For what porcion should I haue of God from aboue? and what inheritance of the Almightie from on hie?

4. Is not deſtruction to the wicked a strange puniſhment to the workers of iniquitie?

5. Doth not he beholde my wayes and tell all my steps?

6. If I haue walked in banitie, or if my toote hath made hast to deceite,

7. Let God weigh me in the luſt balance, and he shall know mine d vprightnes.

8. If my ſteppe hath turned out of the way, or mine heart hath e walked after myne eye, or if any blotte hath cleaned to mine hands,

9. Let me sow, and let another eate: yea, let my plantes be rooted out.

10. If mine heart hath bene deceiued by a man, or if I haue layde wait at the doore of my neighbour,

11. Let my wife s grinde into another man, and let other men bow downe upon her.

12. For this is a wickednes, and iniquitie to be condemned.

13. Hea, this is a fire that shall deour b to deſtruction, and which shall roote out all mine increase,

14. What then shall I do when k God kandeth vp? and when he shall diſilme me, what shall I anſware?

15. He that hath made me in the wombe, hath he not made him? hath not he alone faci ned vs in the wombe?

16. If I restrained the poore of their deſire, or haue caused the eies of the widow m to fail,

17. Or haue eaten my moſels alone, and the fatherles hath not eaten thereof,

18. For from my youth hee hath growne vp with me n as with a father, and from my mothers wode I haue bene a quide into her.

19. If I haue keene any perſil for want of clothing, or any poore without couering,

20. If his lopnes haue not bleſſed me, because he was warmed with the ſleece of my heep,

21. If I haue lift o' vp mine hand against the fatherles, when I saw that I might helpe him in the gate,

22. Let mine p arme fal from my shoulder, and mine arme be broken from the bone.

I. I refrained not from tiring of fear of man, but because I fear red God.

23 For God's punishment was a fearful unto me, and I could not be delivered from his highnes.

24. If I made gold mine hope, or haue said to the wedge of gold, Thou art my confidence,

25 If I rejoiced because my substance was great, or because mine hande had gotten much,

26 If I did behold the sunne, when it shined, or the moone, walking in her brightness,

27 If mine heart did flatter me in secret, or, if my mouth did kisse mine hand,

28 (This also had bene an iniquitie to bee condemned : for I had denied the God above)

29 If I rejoiced at his destruction that had me, or was moued to joy wherewith came upon him,

30 Neither haue I suffered my mouth to time, by wifhing a curse unto his foule.

31 Did not the men of my tabernacle say, who shall give vs of his flesh; we cannot be satisfied.

32 The stranger did not lodge in the streete, but I opened my doores unto him, I went by the way.

33 If I have hid my sinne, as Adam, confessing mine iniquitie in my doome,

34 Though I could haue made afraid a great multitude, yet the most contemptible of the families did keepe me: so I kept silence, and went not out of the dome.

35 Or that I had some to heare me! beholde my signe that the Almightie will witness me: though mine aduerfarie should write a booke against me,

36 Would not I take it upon my shoulder, & binde it as a crowne unto me?

37 I will tell him the number of my goings, and go unto him as to a prince.

38 If my lande cry against me, or the fowles thereof complain together,

39 If I haue eaten the fruits thereof withou'till other: or if I haue griened the foules of the masters thereof,

40 Let thynkles growe in steade of wheat, & cockle in the tread of barly.

THE WORDS OF IOB ARE ENDED.

CHAP. XXXII.

1 Elihu reprezen them of folt, 2 Age maketh not a man wive, but the Spirit of God.

1 SO these three men ceased to answer Job, because he e'eemed him selfe infl.

2 Then the wrath of Elihu the sonne of Barachel the Buzite, of the familie of Ram, was kindled: his wrath, I say, was kindled against Job, because hee inflitied himselfe more then God.

3 Also his anger was kindled against his three friendes, because they could not finde an answer, and yet condemned Job.

4 (Now Elihu had waited till Job had spoken: for they were more ancient in peeres then he)

5 So when Elihu saw, that there was none

and were in the mouth of the three men, his wrath was kindled.

6 Therefore Elihu the sonne of Barachel, the Buzite answered, and laid, I am young in yeeres, and ye are ancient: therefore I doubted, and was afraid to shew you mine opinion.

7 For I said, The dayes shall speake, & the multitude of yeres shall teach wildome.

8 Surely there is a spirit in man, but the inspiration of the Almightie giuen understanding.

9 Great men are not alway wifc, neither doe the aged alway understand iudgement.

10 Therefore I say, Heare me, and I will shew also mine opinion.

11 Beholde, I did waite upon your wordes, & hearkened unto your knowledge, whiles you sought out your reasons.

12 Pea, when I had considered you, lo, there was none of you that revioued Job, noz answered his wordes:

13 Leaft ye should say, We have found woldome: for God hath cast him down, and no man.

14 Yet hath hee not directed his wordsto me, neþther will I answere him by your wordes.

15 Then they fearing, answered no more, but left of their talke.

16 When I had waited (for they speake not, but stooe stil and answered no more)

17 Then answered I in my turne, & I heard your opinion.

18 For I am full of matter, and the SPIRIT within me compelleth me.

19 Beholde, my bellie is as the wine, which haty no vent, and like the newe dottels that break.

20 Therefore will I speake, that I may take breath: I will open my lippes, and will answer.

21 I will not now accept the person of man, neither will I give titles to man.

22 For I may not give titles, left my Maker should take me away sodenly.

CHAP. XXXIII.

3 Elihu accessest Job of ignorance. 4 He heareth that God hath dinere meanes to inflitrey man, and to draw him from him. 5 He affliceth man and sodeinlly delenereth him. 6 Man being heere-uered, giuen thynkes to God.

W Hereafter, Job, I pray thee, heare my talke and hearken unto all my wordes.

5 Beholde now, I have opened my mouth: my tongue hath spoken in my mouth.

6 My wordes are in the brightness of mine heart, & my lippes shall speake pure knowledge.

4 The Spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almightie hath given mee life.

5 If you can't give me answere, prepare thy selfe and stand before me.

6 Beholde, I am according to thy wisse in God's stead: I am also fourmed of the clay.

7 Beholde, my terror shall not feare thee, neither

Meaning, the ancient, which have experience.

8 It is a speciall gift of God that man hath endur'd, and cometh neither of nature, nor by age.

9 To you that love alþorthought came I for your innes,

10 And flatter your fetues, as thoughe you had overcome him.

11 To wit, Job, He weeth alþorthey like argument, but withoute canning, and reprouches.

12 To you that love alþorthought came I for your innes,

13 And flatter your fetues, as thoughe you had overcome him.

23 I confesse the power of God, and am one of his, therefore thou oughtest to heare me.

24 Because Job had withered to die, his canne with God, Chap. 26, 27, so that he might not fear, Elihu CAPIT.

25 To that he might not fear, Elihu CAPIT, he will stand in God's stead, who is alþorthey not to fear, because he is a man made of the same matter that he is.

26 He afflictheth man and sodeinly delenereth him.

Who shall open the doors of his face; his teeth are fearfull round about,

6

The maiestie of his scales is like strong shields, and are sure sealed.

7

One is set to another, that no winde can come betwene them.

8

One is ioyned to another: they sticke together, that they cannot be fondered.

9

His nicings make the light to shine, & his eyes are like the epe lids of the morning.

That is, ca-
forth out
fames of fire.

10

Out of his mouth go lampes, and sparkes of fire leape out.

11

Out of his nofrels commeth out smoke, as out of a boyling pot or caldron.

12

His breath maketh the coles burne: for a flame goeth out of his mouth.

13

In his necke remaineth strength, and h' labour is reiected before his face.

Nothing is
painful to
harm unto him

14

The members of his bodie are ioyned : they are strong in themselves, and cannot be mooned.

15

His heart is as strong as a stone, as hard as the nether millstone.

16

The mightie are afraide of his maiestie, and forfear they faint in them felues.

17

When the word doeth touch him, he will not rile vp, nor for the speare, darte nor ha- bergcon.

18

He esteemethyon as strawe, and brasse as rotten wood.

19

The archer can not make him flee : the stones of the flying are turned into stubble into him.

20

The dartes are counted as straw: and he laugheth at the shaking of the speare.

21

Sharpe stones are under him, the prea- deth sharpe things upon the myne.

22

He maketh the depth to k boyle like a pot, as maketh the sea like a pot of oyntment.

23

He maketh a path to t hine after him: one would thinke the depth as an hoze head.

24

In the earth there is none like him: he is made without feare.

He beholdeth m all his things: he is a King over all the children of pride.

Then Job answere the Lord, he said, I know that thou canst do all things, and that there is no thought hidden from thee.

Who is he that hideth counſell without knowledge? therefore he have I spoken that I understood not, even things to wonder full for me, and which I knew not.

b. Is there as

Chap. 38.

4

c. I confess herein mine ignorance, and that I have I will not what.

4

Heare, I beleech thee, and I will speake : I will demaund of thee, d and declare thou vnto me.

5

I have e heard of thee by the hearing of the eare, but now mine eye seeth thee.

6

Therefore I have knowne my selfe, and repent in dust and ashes.

7

Now after that the Lord had spoken these words into Job, the Lord also faide unto Elipha that Temanite, My wrath is kindled against thee, and against thy two friends: for ye have not spoken of me the thing that is right, like my seruant s Job.

8

Therefore take unto you now feuen bullocks, and feuen rams, and go to my seruant Job, offer vp your selues a burnt offering, and my seruant Job shall h pray for you: for I will accept him, least I should put you to shame, because ye have not spoken of me the thing which is right, like my seruant Job.

9

So Elipha the Temanite, and Bildad the Shubite, & Zophar p Naamathite went, and did according as the Lord had said to them, and the Lord accepted Job.

10

Then the Lord turned the captiuitie of Job, when he prayed for his friends : also the Lord gaue Job two so much as he had before.

Then came vnto him all his k beethen, and all his lifters, and all they that had bene of his acquaintance before, and did eate bread with him in his house, and had compassion of him, and comfor ted him for all e ueil, that the Lord had brought upon him, and every man gaue him a piece of money, and every one an earing of golde.

12

So the Lord blessed the last dayes of Job more then the first: for he had fourteene thousand sheepe, and six thousand cames, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand shee affles.

13

He had also feuen sonnes, and three daugh ters.

14

And he called the name of one m Jemi- mah, and the name of the second n Keziah, and the name of the thirde o Keren-hap- puch.

15

In all the land were no women found to faire as the daughters of Job, and their father gaue them inheritance among their beethen.

16

And after this liued Job an hundreth and fourtie peres, and saue his sonnes, and his sonnes sonnes, euen fourte generations.

So Job died, being olde, and ful of dates.

THE ARGVMENT,

* Of, ya, yaples, according to the Chymera; and were chiefes initi, ture to yaple, and give thanks to God for his benefits. They are called the Psalms of Songes, because the most part were made vp by him.

Th is booke of Psalms is set forth vnto vs by the holy Ghost to be eſeemed as a moſt precious treaſure, wherein all things are conceiſed that appertine to true felicitude: a w el in this life preſent as in the life to come. For the riches of true knowledge, and heauenly wifedome are here fee open for vs, to take thereof moſt abundantly. If we would know the great, and he maieſle of God, here we may ſee the brightness thereof in himoſt clearly. If we would ſeeke his incomprehensible wifedome, here is the ſchoole of the fame profitio n. If we would comprehend his inſtinaſtible bountie, and approche neere therevinto, and fill our hands with that treaſure, here we may haue a moſt liely, and comfortable tafe thereof. If we would know wherein standeth our falation, and how to attaine to life curauring, fling, here is Chriſt our only redeemer, and mediatur moſt euidently deſcribed. The rich man may leane the true vfe of his riches. The poore man may finde full contentation. He that will reioyce, shall know the true joy, and how to keepe meaſure therein. They that are aſſiſted and oppreſſed, shall fee wherein standeth their comfort, and howe they ought to praye God when he fethend them deliuerance. The wicked and the perſecutors of the children of God, shall fee his hand as God is euer againſt them: and though he ſuffer them to pſoper for a while, yet he bridleth them, in ſo much as they cannot touche an heare of ones head, excepte they permit them, and howe in the ende their deſtruction is moſt miſerable. Briefly, here we haue moſt preſent remedieſes against all tentations, and troubles of minde and confidence, ſo that being well praeſide herein, we may be aſſured againſt all dangers in this life, lie in the true care, and loue of God, and at length attaine to that incorpúrable crowne of glorie, which is layde vp for all them that loue the comming of our Lorde Jefus Chriſt.

Psal.i.

Beatus vir qui non abit.

T ather it was Elyas, or any other that gathered the Psalms into a booke, it ſeemeth he did fee this Psaſme first in maner of a yeface, to exhort all godly men to studie, and meditate the heauenly wifedome, for the effect hereof is, 1 That they be bleſſed, which give themelues wholy all their life to the holy Scriptures. 4 And that the wicked contemners of God, though they ſee me for a white happe, yet at length come to miſerable deſtruction.

As for the ungodly it is not to do with them: but they are like the chaffe which the winde scattereth away from the face of the earth. Therefore the ungodly shall not be able to stand in the iudgement: neither the finners in the congregation of the righteous.

1 The Prophet Dauid reioyceth that notwithstanding his enemies rage, yet God will continue his kingdome for euer and advance it even to the end of the world, 10 And therefore exhorteth Kings and rulers, that they would helpfully submit their melues under Gods poke, because it is in baine to reſift God. Herein is figure Chyſt's kingdome.

The Kings of the earth band them-

b Let vs breake their bands, and cast their

*But he that dwelleth in the heauen shall laugh: the Lord shall haue them in derision.
c Then shall he ſpeake vnto them in his wrath, and vexe them in his ſore displeasure, ſaying,

Even I haue ſet my King vpon Zion mine ho-

W Hy do ſhal heathen ſo furiously rage

The Kings of the earth stand vp, and the

Let vs breake their bondes alunder: and
cast away their cordes from vs.

4 He that dwelleth in heauen shall laugh them to coone: the Lord shall haue them in derision.

5 Then ſhal he ſpeake vnto the ſe in his wath:
and vexe them in his ſore displeasure.

1 David diuven forth of his kingdome, was greatly commended in mine for his sinnes against God: 4 And therefore called he upon God, and wachd holde through his promises against the great railings and terrours of his enemies, 5, 6 against death it selfe, which he faue preſent before his eyes, 7 Finally he reioyceth for the good lucrelle, that God gave him, and at the Church.

A Psalme of David, when he fled from his ſonne Abalom.

1 Lo how are they increased that trouſe me: many are they that rile against me.

2 Many one there be that say of my ſoule: there is no helpe for him in his God.

3 But thou, O Lord, art my defender: thou art my woolſhip, the lifter vp of my head.

4 I did call vpon the Lord with my boye: and he heard me out of his holy hill.

5 I layd me downe and Slept, and rose vp a-game: for the Lord suſteyned me.

6 I will not be afraid for ten thouandths of people: that haue let them ſelues against me about.

7 Up Lord, a helpe me, O my God: for thou smitten al mine enemies vpon a check bone, thou haſt broken the teeth of the ungody.

Heare my voyce in the morning, O Lord: for in the morning will I direct me vnto thee, and I will b waite.
For thou art not a God that loueth c wickednes: neither shall euil dwell with thee.
The foolish shall not stand in thy fight: for thou hatest all them that worke iniquitie.
Thou shalt destroy them that speake lies: the Lord wil abhorre the bloody man and deceitfull.

Then suddenly feeling God's mercie, he charpely rebuketh his enemies which reioyced in his affliction.

Vt quid Domine,

Psal. x.

1 He complayneth of the fraude, rapine, tymannie, and all kindes of wrong, which worldly men use, aligning the caufe
thereof, that wicked men, being as it were drunken with worldly prosperity, and therefore fetting apart all feare and
reverence towards God, thinke they may do all things without controvising. 15 Therefore he calleth upon God to
send home remedy against these desperate euils, 16 And at length comfothereth himselfe with hope of deluuerance.

1 W hy standest thou so farre of (D
Lorde:) and hidest thy face in the
needefull time of trouble?

2 The ungodly his owne luft doeth per-
secute the pooe : let them be taken in the
crafty worldinesse that they haue imagined.

3 For the ungodly hath made boaste of his
owne hearts desire : and speaketh good of
the couetous whome God abhors.

4 The ungodly is so proud, that he careth not
for God: neither is God in all his thoughts.

5 His wates are alway grieuous: thy iudg-
ments are farre aboue out of his light, and
therefore defieth he all his enemies.

6 For he hath fayde in his heart, tuch, I shall
neuer be cast downe : there shall no harme
happen vnto me.

7 His mouth is ful of curfing, deceite, a fraud:
under his tongue is ungodlines a vanitie.

8 He litieth lurking in the tijetie corners of
the streetes: a priuily in his lurking dennes
dorth he murder the innocent, his eyes are
set against the pooe.

9 Fo: he lyeth wayting secretly, even as a
Lyon lurketh he in his denne : that he may
tauieth the pooe.

10 He doeth tauieth the pooe: when he getteth
him into his net.

11 He falleth downe and humbleth him selfe:
that the congregation of the pooe may fall
into the hand of his captaines.

12 He hath fayd in his heart, Tuch, God hath
forgotten: he hideneth away his face, and he
will neuer fee it.

13 Arife (O Lorde God) and lift vp thine
hand : forget not the pooe.

14 Wherefore shouldle the wicked blasphemee
God: while he doeth fay in his heart, tuch,
thou God carest not for it?

15 Surely thou haft seene it: fo: thou behol-
dest ungodlineſe and wrong.

16 That thou maieth take the matter into thy
hand: the pooe committeth him selfe vnto

W hy standest thou farre of, O Lorde,
and hidest thee in a due time, euen
in affliction?

The wicked with pride doeth perfecute the
poore : let them be taken in the craftes that
they haue imagined.

3 For the wicked hath b made boast of his owne
hearts defire, and the couetous bleſſeth him-
ſelfe; he contemneth the Lord.

The wicked is so proud that he feeketh not ſo
God: he thinketh alwayes, There is no God.

5 His wayes alway proper: thy iudgements are
he aboue his fight: therefore " defieth he all
his enemies.

6 He faith in his heart, I shall " neuer be moued,
" nor be in danger.

7 His mouth is full of curfing and deceite and
fraude: vnder his tongue is miſchefe and ini-
quitie.

8 He lieth in waite in the villages : in the secret
places doth he murther the innocent: his eies
are bent against the poore.

9 He lyeth in waite secretly, euen as a Lion in
his dène: he lieth in waite to ſpoyle the poore:
he doeth ſpoyle the poore, when he draweth
him into his net.

10 He croucheth and boweth: therefore heapes
of the poore do fall by his might.

11 He hath faid in his heart, God hath forgotten,
he hideth away his face, and will neuer fee.

12 f Arife, O Lord God: lift vp thine hande: for-
get not the poore.

13 Wherefore doeth the wicked contemne
God? he fayeth in his heart, Thou wilt not
s regarde.

14 Act thou haſt ſeene it: for thou beholdest
miſchefe and wrong, that thou mayeth h take
it into thine handes: the poore committeth
himſelfe vnto thee: fo: thou art the helper of
the fatherles.

Vſequo Domine.

1 David as it were ouercome with ſunſp and new afflictions, ſeech to God as his only refuge, 3 And so at the length being encouraged through God's promiſes, he conceiuereth moſt ſure confidence against the extreme horrours of death.

To him that excelleth. A Psalme of David.

1 H
Owe long wilt thou forſot mee (D
Lord) for euer: howe long wilt thou
hide thy face from me?

2 Howe long ſhall I ſeeke counſayle in my ſoule, a be so bered in my heart : howe long
hal mine enemies triumphe ouer me.

3 Consider and heare me, O Lorde my God: lighten mine eyes, that I sleep not in death.

4 Left mine enemie ſay, I haue preuailed a gainſt him: for if I be call'd onem, they that trouble me wil reioyce at it.

5 But my trust is in thy mercry: and my heart is topfull in thy faluation.

6 I will ſing of the Lorde, because he hath dealt to louingly with me: pea, I will praisle the name of the Lord moſt highelt.

Dixit inſpiens.

1 He deſeribeth the peruerſe nature of men, which were so growen to licentiouſues, that God was brought to better conſent. 7 For the which thing although he was greatly grieuèd, yet being perſuadè that God woulde ſende ſome preſent remedie, he comfortereth him ſelſe and others.

1 He ſoole hath ſayde in his heart: there is no God.

2 They are corrupt and become abominable in their doings: there is not one that doeth good, (no not one.)

3 The Lord looked down from heauen vpon the children of men : to ſee if there were any that would vnderstand and ſeeke after God.

4 But they are all gone out of the way, they are altogether become abominable: there is none that doeth good, no not one.

5 Their diſtote is an opè ſeputiche, with their tongues haue they deceived : the poyſon of Alpes is vnder their lippes.

6 Their mouth is full of curſing and bitterneſſe: there keete are diſtift to shed blood.

7 Destructio ſaehappines is in their waies, a the way of peace haue they not knowen : there is no ſcare of God before their eyes.

8 Haue they no knowledge, that they are all
ſuch workers of miſchefſe : eating vp my
people as it were bread.

9 And cal not vpon the Lord, there were they bought in great ſeaſe (euè where no ſeaſe was: ) for God is in the generation of the righteous.

10 As for you yee haue made a mocke at the

How long wilt thou forget me, O Lorde,
a for euery how long wilt thou hide the

2. Howe long ſhal I take b counſell within my ſelſe, hauing wearinesſe dayly in mine heart? howe long shall mine enemie be exalted a-boue me?

5 But I trust in thy d mercie : mine heart shall reioyce in thy faluation: I wil ſing to the Lord, because he hath e dealt louingly with me.

Psal. xiiiio.

c Which might turne to God his honour, if he did not defend him.

d The mercie of God is the cause of our falation. e Both by the benefits palt and by others to come.

T
He *foole hath faſid in his heart,* a There is no God: they haue b corrupted, and done an abominable work: there is none that doeth good.

2 The Lorde looked downe from heauen vpon the children of men, to ſee if there were any that would vnderstand, and ſeeke God.

3 C all are gone out of the way: they are all corrupt: there is none that doeth good, no not one.

4 Do not all the workers of iniquitie know that they eate vp my people, as they eate bread: they call not vpon the Lord.

d There they ſhalbe taken with ſeaſe, because God is in the generation of the iuſt.

6 You haue made c a mocke at the counſell of the poore, because the Lord is his truſt.

Oh give faluation vnto Israel out of Zion: when the Lorde turneth the captiuitie of his people, then laakob shall reioyce, and Israel ſhalbe glad.

3 Thou haſt e proued and viſited mine heart in

4 Concerning the works of men, by the e words

H Eference me O God: for in thee haue I

9 He bowed the heauens also and came downe,
and darkenes was vnder his feete.
10 And he rode vpon 5 Cherub and did flie, and
he came flying vpon the winges of the winde.
11 He made darkenes his h secrete place, and his
pavilion rounde about him, even darkenes of
waters, and cloudes of the aire.
12 At the brightness of his prefence his cloudes
paffed, hailestones and coles of fire.
13 The Lorde also thundred in the heauen, and

14 Then he sent out k his arrowes and scattracted
them, and he increafed lightnings & destroy-

15 And the chanel of waters were seene, & the
fundations of the worlde were difcouered at
thy rebuking, O Lorde, at the blasting of the
breath of thy noſtrels.
16 He hath ſent downe from aboue and taken
mee : he hath drawen me out of many m wae-

17 He hath deliuered me from my n strong ene-

were o to strong for me.
18 They prevented me in the day of my calami-

19 Hee brought mee foorth also into a large

red me.
20 The Lorde rewarded mee according to my

21 Because I kept the wayes of the Lorde, & did
not wickedly againſt my God.
22 For all his Lawes were before mee, and I
did not caſt awaye his ſ commaundementes

23 I was vpright also with him, and haue kept

24 Therefore the Lorde rewarded me according

25 With the godlie thou wilt ſhew thy ſelfe

thy ſelfe vpright.
26 With the pure thou wilt ſhew thy ſelfe pure,
and with the frowarde thou wilt ſhew thy ſelfe

27 Thus thou wilt faue the poore people, & wilt
caſt downe the proude looks.
28 Surely thou wilt light my candle: the Lorde
my God will lighten my darkenes.
29 For by thee I haue x broken through an hoſt,
and by my God I haue leaped ouer a wall.
30 The way of God is vncorrupt: the worde of

31 For who is God befides the Lorde ? and who

ſting of the breath of thy diſpleasure.

16 He haſtend downe from the high to fetch

17 He haſt deliuer me from my stronge ene-

18 They prevented me in the day of my trou-

19 He brought me foorth also into a place of li-

had a favour vnto me.

20 The Lorde shall reward me after my right-
teous dealing : according to the cleannelle

21 Because I haue kept the wayes of the

10 For my life is waſted with heauines, and

11 I was a g reproch among all mine enemies,

12 I am ſorgotten, as a dead man out of minde:

16 Make thy face to ſhine vpon thy ſeruant, and

17 Let me not bee confounded, O Lord: for I
haue called vpon thee : let the wicked bee

18 Let the lying lips bee made dumme, which
cruelly, proudly and ſpitefully ſpeake againſt

19 How great is thy goodnes, which thou n haſt

20 Thou doſeſt them †o prieuilie in thy pre-

21 Bleſſed be the Lord: for he hath ſhewed his

22 Though I ſaid in mine 9hafte, I am aſt out of

l. If Kings & the might of the world can not be faued by two diverse countries, but chosen by God's prouidence, what haue os there to trust in, that haue not like means? m. God knoweth that toward his of his mercie, which man by no means can be able to depend. n. Thus he speaketh in the name of the whole Church, which oneelp depend on God's prouidence, dence,

a. The piontes that come to be knowne, but undefauld of God's great mercie for his deliverance.

b. That are taken downe with the experience of their owneunto.

c. Which God's chosen for the goddes where he is.

d. Thyl shall be hoved to face to the face, for they shall see thy mercies toward me.

e. Though God's power be sufficient to govern us, yet for man's infirmity be appointed his Angel to watch over him.

f. The godly by their paceshould be prouised unto them then they, which are simple.

g. If then as before the last trial.

h. That is, the true religion and worship of God.

i. Hering all men naturally to believe felicities, the wundereth who then cast themes floundring into infeure.

k. The answer of God doth not only desist from the vices he has, but also aslumbeth their name for euer.

13 The Lord looketh downe from heauen, and beholdeth all the children of men.

14 From the habitation of his dwelling he beholdeth all them that dwell in the earth.

15 He facioneth their hearts euercy one, and vnderstandeth all their workes.

16 The King is not faued by the multitude of an hoſte, neither is the mightie man deliuered by great strength.

17 A horle is a vaine helpe, and shall not deliver any by his great strength.

18 Beholde, m the eye of the Lord is vpon them that feare him, and vpon them, that trust in his mercie,

19 To deliuer their ſoules from death, & to preferue them in famine.

20 n Our ſoule waiteth for the Lord: so he is our helpe and our ſhielde.

21 Surely our heart shall reioyce in him, because we truſed in his holic Name.

22 Let thy mercie, O Lord, bee vpon vs, as we trust in thee.

13 The Lord looked downe from heauen, and behelde all the children of men: from the habitation of his dwelling he confdereth all them that dwell in the earth.

14 He ſaſhioneth all the hearts of them: and vnderstandeth all their workes.

15 There is no king that can be ſaued by the multitude of an hoſte: neither is any mightie man deliuered by much strength.

16 A hoſte is counted but a vaine thing to ſaue a man: neither shall he deliuer any man by his great strength.

17 Beholde, the eye of the Lord is vpon them that feare him: and vpon them that put their trust in his mercie.

18 To deliuer their ſoules from death: and to feede them in the time of death.

19 Our ſoule hath paciently tariet for the Lord: so he is our helpe, and our ſhielde.

20 So our heart shall reioyce in him: because we have hoped in his holy name.

21 Let thy merciful kindnes (O Lord) be vpon his: like as we do put our trust in thee.

Psal. xxxiii.

Benedicam Domino.

x After David had escaped Achish, according as it is written in the 1. Sam. 21, 11, where in this title he called Abimelech (which was a general name to all the Kings of the Philistines) he praiseth God for his deliverance, 2. Prophoning all others by his example to trust in God, to feare and ferue him: 14. Who defendeth the godly with his Angels, 15. And vitterly defraudeth the wicked in their sinnes.

A *Psalme* of David, when he changed his behauiour before Abimelech, who drouse he away, and he departed.

1 Will a! way giue thanks vnto the Lord: his praiſe shall be in my mouth continually.

2 My ſoule shall glorie in the Lord: the ble shall heare it, and be glad.

3 Praife ye the Lord with me, and let vs magnify his Name together.

4 I ſought the Lord, and he heard me: yea, hee deliuered me out of all my feare.

5 They shall looke vnto him, and runne to him: and their faces shall not be aſhamed, ſaying,

6 This poore man cried, and the Lord heard him, and ſaued him out of all his troubles.

7 The Angel of the Lord pitcheth round about them, that feare him, and deliuereth them.

8 Tafteye and ſee, how gracious the Lord is: bleſſed is the man that trusteth in him.

9 Feare the Lord, ye his Saintes: for nothing wanteth to them that feare him.

10 The ſlyons do lacke and ſuffer hunger, but they, which ſeeke the Lord, shall want nothing that is good.

11 Come children, hearken vnto me: I will teach you the feare of the Lord.

12 *What man is he, that defireth life, and loveneth long daies for to ſee good ?

13 Keepe thy tongue from euil, and thy lippes, that they ſpeake no guile.

14 Eſchew euil and do good: ſeeke peace and followe after it.

15 The eyes of the Lord are vpon the righteous, and his eares are open vnto their crie.

16 But the face of the Lord is againſt them that do euil, to cut of their remembrance from the earth.

17 The *righteous* erie, and the Lord heareth

1 Will alway giue thanks vnto the Lord: his praiſe shall euer be in my mouth.

2 My ſoule shall make her boast of the Lord: the humble shall heare thereof and be glad.

3 D praiſe the Lord with me: and let his magnify his name together.

5 They had an epe vnto him, and were ligh-tened: and their facs were not aſhamed.

6 Lo, the poore crieth, and the Lord heareth him: yea, and ſaueth him out of al his trou-bles.

7 The angel of the Lord tarieth round about them that feare him: and deliuereth them.

8 D taſke and ſee how gratiouſ the Lord is: bleſſed is the man that trusteth in him.

9 D keare the Lord ye that be his Saintes: so they that feare him, lacke nothing.

10 The Lions do lacke, and duffer hunger: but they which ſeeke the Lord, shall want no maner of thing that is good.

11 Come ye children, and hearken vnto me: I will teach you the feare of the Lord.

12 What man is he that lusteth to liue, and woulde faue ſee good daies: keepe thy tongue from euil, and thy lippes that they ſpeake no guile.

13 Eſchew euil, and do good: ſeeke peace, and enſue it.

14 The eyes of the Lord are ouer the righteous: and his eares are open vnto their players.

18 Great are the troubles of the righteous; but the Lord deliuereth him out of all.

19 He keepeth all his bones: so that not one of them is broken.

20 But misfortune shall slay the ungodly; and they that hate û righteous, shall be desolate.

21 The Lord deliuereth the soules of his feruants: and al they that put their trust in him, shall not be delititue.

Judica Domine.

1 So long as Saul was enemie to David, all that had any autoritie under him to flatter their King (as is the course of the world) did also moft cruelly perfecute David: against whom he prayeth God to pleave and to auenge his cause, 8 That they may be taken in their nets and snares, which they laue for him, that his innocencie may be declared, 27 And that the innocent, which taketh part with him, may reioyce and praise the Name of the Lord, that thus deliuereth his Feruant. 28 And so he promiseth to speake forth the justice of the Lord, and to magnifie his Name all the dapes of his life.

1 Please thou my cause, O Lord, with them that strike with me: a fight thou against them that fight against me.

2 Lay hande vpon the shielde and buckler: and stand vp to helpe me.

3 Bring forth the speare, and stop the way against them that perfecute me: lay vnto my foule, I am thy faluation.

4 Let them be confounded and put to shame that feeke after my foule: let them be turned backe, and brought to confusion, that imagine mischiese for me.

5 Let them be as the dust before the winde: and the angel of the Lord scattering them.

6 Let their way be darke and slipperie: and let the angel of the Lord perfecute them.

7 For they haue priuily laid their net to despatch me without a cause: yea, euen without a cause haue they made a pit for my foule.

8 Let a sodaine destruction come vpon him unwares, and his net that he hath layde priuily catch himselfe: that he may fall into his own: mischiese.

9 And my foule be tojoyful in the Lord: it shall reioyce in his falation.

10 All my bones shall say, Lord, who is like unto thee, which deliuereth the pooze from him that is to strong for him: yea, the pooze and him that is in miſerie, from him that ſpoyleth him.

11 Fall witnes did rife bp: they laide to my charge things that I knew not.

12 They rewarded me euill for good, to k haue ſpoyled my foule.

13 Menertheleſſe, when they were ſicke I put on lacke cloth, and humbled my ſoule with fasting: and my piaier ſhal turne into mine owne boſome.

14 I behaued my ſelſe as though it had bene my ſtend, or my brother: I went heauily, as one that mourneth for his mother.

15 But in mine aduerſitie they reioyced, and gathered them together: yea, the very abieſts

them, and deliuereth them out of all their troubles.

18 The Lord is neere vnto them that are of a contrite heart, & wil faue such as be afflicted in spirit.

19 Great are the troubles of the righteous: but the Lorde deliuereth him out of them all.

20 m He keepeth all his bones: not one of them is broken.

21 But malice shall slay the n wicked: and they that hate the righteous, shall perſh.

22 The Lorde o redeemeth the ſoules. of his ſeruants: and none, that truſt in him, shall perſish.

Psal. xxxv.

1 When they come to be wallowed vp with affluences, then go as at hand to deliuer them. m And as Chufthand, all the benefits of his head. n Their wised om enterprises that runne to their owne desolation.

o For when they come to be purrue with great kers and death it is their God that doeth humbly offer themselves.

1 Please thou my a cause, O Lord, with them that strike with mee: fight thou against them, that fight against me.

2 b Lay hand vpon the shielde and buckler, and stand vp for mine helpe.

3 Bring out also the speare and ſtopper the way against them, that perfecute me: lay vnto my ſoule, I am thy falation.

4 Let them be confounded and put to shame, that feeke after my ſoule: let them be turned backe, and brought to confuſion, that imagine mine hurt.

5 Let them be as chaffe before the winde, and let the Angel of the Lord d scatter them.

6 Let their way be darke and slipperie: and let the Angel of the Lord perfecute them.

7 For e without cause they haue hid the pit and their net for me: without cause haue they digged a pit for my ſoule.

8 Let deſtruction come vpon him at vnwares, and let his net, that he hath layde priuily, take him: let him fall into the fame deſtruction.

9 Then my ſoule ſhalbe ioyfull in the Lord; it shall reioyce in his falation.

10 All my h bones shall ſay, Lord, who is like to thee, which deliuereth the poore from him, that is to strong for him! yea, the poore and him that is in miſerie, from him that ſpoyleth him!

11 i Cruel witneſſes did rife vp: they asked of me things that I knew not.

12 They rewarded me euill for good, to k haue ſpoyled my ſoule.

13 Yet I, when they were ſick, I was clothed with a ſacke: I humbled my ſoule with fasting: and I my prayer was turned vpon my boſome.

14 I behaued my ſelſe as to my ſtendere, o, as to my brother: I humbled my ſelſe, mourning as one that bewaileth his mother.

1 This Psaſme contayneth exhortation and conſolation for the weake, that are griuen at the p[ro]ſperitie of the wicke, and the affliction of the godly. 7 Fo: how p[ro]ſperously ſouer the wicked do lie for the time, he doeth affirme their felicitie to be vaine and tranſitocy, because they are not in the favour of God, but in the end they are destroyed as his enemies, 11 And how miſerably that the righteaus ſeemeth to live in the world, yet his end is peace, and he is in the favour of God, he is deliuered from the wicked and p[re]ſerved.

Euening prayer.

Fret not thy ſelſe, because of the vngodflying: neither be thou enuious against the evil doers.

2 Fo: they hali downe be cut downe like the graſſe: and be wythered euen as the greene herbe.

3 Put thou thy trust in the Lord, and be do[ing] good: dwel in the land, and vertily thou hali be fed.

4 Delight thou in the Lord: and he hali gue thee thy hearts desire.

5 Commit thy way vnto the Lord, and put thy trust in him: and he hali bring it to p[ass].

6 He hali make thy righteouſnes as cleare as the light: and thy iuſt dealing as the noone day.

7 Holde thee ſtil in the Lord, and abide patiendly upon him: but grieue not thy ſelſe at him whose way doth prouſer, against the man that doeth after euil countayles.

8 Leaue of from wraath, a let go displeasure: fret not thy ſelſe, els hali thou be moed to do euil.

9 Wicked doers hali rooted out: and they that patiently abide the Lord, that hali inhere the land.

10 Bet a little while, and the vngodly hali cleane gone: thou hali looke after his place, and he hali be a way.

11 But the meeke ſpirited hali poſſeſſe the earth: and hali be ſrefred in the multitude of peace.

12 The vngodly ſeekeſt countayle against the iuſt: and gnaſſeth vpon him with his teeth.

13 The Lord hali laugh him to ſcorne: fo: he hath ſene that his day is comming.

14 The vngodly haue diſpen out the world,

6 Thy righteouſnes is like the ‡ mightie mountains: thy judgements are like a great ſdeep: thou, Lord, doeth ſaue man and beaſt.

7 How excellent is thy mercie, O God ! therefor the children of men trust vnder the hadowe of thy wings.

8 They haliſe ſatified with the fatnes of thine houſe, and thou hali gue them drinke out of the riuer of thy pleyaſures.

9 For with thee is the well of life, and in thy light hali we fee light.

10 Extend thy louing kindnes vnto them that know thee, and thy righteouſnes vnto them that are vpright in heart.

11 Let not the † foote of pride come against me, and let not the hand of the wicked men moue me.

12 k There they are fallen that worke iniquitie: they are caſt downe, and hali not be able to rife.

Psal, xxxvii.

‡ Ebr. the mountains of God: for what ſoever thou art, is excellent, is thus called.

f The depth of the p[ro]monies becometh greater than things, and diſpoſeth them, albeſt the wicked tene to onere what he the world.

g Onus God: children hane enough of all things both concerning this life and life to come.

h I be the then who are God children, to wit, they that know them, and lead their lives uprightly.

i Let not the younge abusde himſelfe: gaiſt me, neſt the power of the wicked bitte he as wap.

j That is, in their pride, wherein they latterly feele.

A P[salme] of David.

Freat not a thy ſelſe because of the wicked men, neither be enuious for the euil doers.

2 For they hali ſoone be cut downe like graſſe, and hali wither as the greene herbe.

3 c Truſt thou in the Lord and do good: dwell in the lande, and thou hali be fed affuredly.

4 And delite thy ſelſe in the Lord, and hee hali giue thee thine hearts desire.

5 d Commit thy way vnto the Lord, and truſt in him, and he hali bring it to p[ass].

6 And hee hali bring forth thy righteouſnes as the light, and thy e iudgement as the noone daie.

7 Waite patiently vpon the Lord and hope in him: freat not thy ſelſe for him which proſereth in his way: no: for the man that bringeth his enterprises to p[ass].

8 Ceate from anger, and leaue of wrath: freat not thy ſelſe s alſo to do euil.

9 For euil doers hali be cut of, and they that waite vpon the Lord, they hali inherit the land.

10 h Therefore yet a little while, and the wicked shall not appeare, and thou hali looke after his place, and he hali not be found.

11 But * meeke men hali poſſeſſe the earth, and shall haue their delite in the multitude of peace.

12 i The wicked præſeth against the iuſt, and gnaſſeth his teeth against him.

13 But the Lord hali laugh him to ſcorne: for he teeth, that his daie is comming.

14 The wicked haue drawn their ſворde, and

not abate in the fulnes of God s time he come. Mat. 5, 1. The g[od]p[her] are aſſured that b power and craft of the wicked shall not viuere against them, but fall on their owne tides, and therefore ought paciently to abide God s time, and in the meane while he wap their ſiues, and offer up their car[ies] as a sacrifice of their obediencie.

1 Put me not to rebuke (D) Lord) in thine anger: neither chaſten me in thy heauie displeaſure.

2 For: thine arrowes sicke fast in me: and thy hand prieſeth me ſore.

3 There is no health in my ſlesh, because of thy displeaſure: neither is there any rest in my bones, by reason of my ſinne.

4 For my wickedneſſes are gone ouer my head: and are like a ſore burden too heauie for me to heare.

5 My wounds ſinke, & are corrupt: through my foolishnes.

6 I am brought into so great trouble and miſerie: that I go mourning al the day long.

7 For my loines are filled with a ſore diſeale: and there is no whole part in my bodie.

8 I am feeble and ſore ſmitten: I haue roared for the very diſquietines of my heart.

9 Lord, thou knowest all my desire: and my groning is not hid from thee.

10 My heart panteth, my strength hath fayled me: and the light of mine eyes, euen<sup>b</sup> they are not mine owne.

11 My louers and my neighbours did stand looking upon my trouble: and my kinfmen stoode a farre of.

12 They also that sought after my life, layde ſnares for me: and they that went about to do me euil, talked wicked things and imagine deceit continually.

13 As for me, I was like a deafe man, & heard not: and as one that is dumbe, which doth not open his mouth.

14 I became euen as a man that heareth not: and in whose mouth are no reproofes.

15 For in thee, (D) Lord, haue I put my trust: thou halt anwere for me, (D) Lord my God.

16 I haue required that they (euen mine enemies) should not triumph ouer mee: for when my fooſte flipt, they reioyced greatly against me.

17 And I truely am let in the plague: and my heauines is euer in my fight.

18 For: I wil confesse my wickednes: and be for my ſinne.

19 But mine enemies line, and are mightie: and they that hate me wrongfully, are manie in number.

20 They also that reward euil for good, are against me: because I folow the thing that good is.

21 Forſake me not, (D) Lord my God: be not

thalbe of the Lord: hee thalbe their strength in the time of trouble.

40 For the Lord shall helpe them, and deliuer them: hee shall deliuer them from the wicked, and thal faue them, because they truſt in him.

1 O Lord, rebuke me not in thine <sup>b</sup> anger, neither chaſtife me in thy wrath.

4 For <sup>e</sup> mine iniquities are gone ouer mine head, and, as a weightie burden they are too heauie for me.

5 My wounds are putrified, and corrupt because of <sup>f</sup> my foolishnes.

13 But I as <sup>k</sup> a deafe man heard not, and <sup>am</sup> as a dumme man, <sup>which</sup> openeth not his mouth.

14 Thus am I as a man, that heareth not, and in whose mouth are no reproofes.

15 For on thee, (D) Lord, doe I waite: thou wilt heare me, (D) Lord, my God.

16 (For I faid, Heare me, leaſt they reioyce ouer me: for<sup>l</sup> when my fooſte flippeth, they ex-toll themſelues against me.)

17 Surely I am readie to <sup>m</sup> halte, and my forowe is euer before me.

18 When I declare my paine, and am ſorie for my ſinne,

19 Then mine <sup>n</sup>enemies are aliuie and are mightie, and they that hate mee wrongfully are manie.

20 They also, that rewarde euil for good, are mine aduerfaries, because I followe <sup>o</sup> goodneſſe.

A Daud betteth with what great griek and bitternes of minde he was driven to these outragious complainies of his inſirmities. 2 For he confelſeth that when he had determined ſilence, that he haſt forth yet into words that he would not, though the greatnes of his griek. 4 Then he reheſeth certaine requests which take of the inſirmity of man, 8 And mireth with them many prayers: but all do they a minde wonderfully troubled, that it may plainely appeare how he did striue mightily against death and desperation,

To the excellent muſſitian a Ieduthun.
A Pſalme of David.

I Thought, b I will take heede to my wayes, 2
that I finne not with my tongue: I wil keepe
my mouth brideled, while the wicked is in
my fight.

I was dumme and spake nothing: I kept ſilence 3
euen from good, c and my forowe was more
firred.

Mine heart was hore within me, and, while I 5
was mufing, the fire kindled, and d I spake with
my tongue, kaping,

Lord, let me know mine end, and the meaſure 7
of my daies, what it is: let me know how long
I haue to liue.

Beholde, thou haſt made my daies as an hand 9
breadth, and mine age as nothing in respect of
thee: ſurely euerie man in his best ſtate is al-
together e vanitie. Selah.

Doutſeſſe man walketh in a shadowe, and diſ- 11
quieteth him ſelfe in vaine: he heapeſt vp the
ches, and can not tell who ſhall gather them.

And now Lord, what waite I for? mine hope 7
is euen in thee.

Deliver me from all my tranſgrefſions, and 10
make me not a rebuke vnto the f foolish.

I should haue bene dumme, and not have o- 12
pened my mouth, because s thou dideſt it.

Take thy plague away from me: for I am con- 10
ſumed by the Itoke of thine hand.

When thou with rebukes doſeſt chafſe 11
man for iniquitie, thou as a moth h makeſt his
beautie to conſume: ſurely euerie man is va-
nitie. Selah.

Heare my praier, O Lord, and hearken vnto 12
my crie: keepe not ſilence at my teares, for I
am a ſtranger with thee, and a ſoiourner as all
my fathers.

Stay thine anger from me, that I may reco- 13
uer my strength, k before I go hence & be not.

1

I Said, I will take heede to my wayes : 1
that I offend not in my tongue.

I will keepe my mouth (as it were with 2
a bridle:) while the vngodly is in my fight.
I helde my tongue, and spake nothing: I 3
kept ſilence, yea euen from good words, but
it was paine and grieke to me.

4

My heart was whot within me, a while 5
I was thus mufing, the fire kindled: and at
the last I spake with my tongue.

5

Lord, let me know mine end, and the num- 6
ber of my daies : that I may be certified
how long I haue to liue.

6

Beholde, thou haſt made my daies as it 7
were a ſpan long: and mine age is euen as
nothing in respect of thee, and verily euerie
man living is altogether vanitie.

7

For man walketh in a daime fladowe, and 8
dilquieteth him ſelfe in baine: he heapeſt vp
riches, and can not tel who ſhall gather
them.

8

And now Lord, what is my hope : truel
my hope is euen in thee.

9

Deliver me from all mine offences: and 10
make me not a rebuke vnto the fooliſh.

10

I became dumbe, a opened not my mouth: 11
for it was thy doing.

11

Take thy plague away from me: I am eu- 12
uen conſumed by the meanes of thy heaue
hand.

12

When thou with rebukes doſeſt chafſen 13
man for iniquitie, thou makeſt his beautie to
conſume away like as it were a moth fre-
ting a garment: euerie man therefore is but
vanitie.

13

Heare my praier, O Lord, and with thine 14
eares consider my calling: holde not thy
peace at my teares.

14

So I am a ſtranger with thee, and a ſo- 15
ſoiourner: as all my fathers were.

15

Oh spare me a little, that I may recover my 16
strength; before I go hence, and be no more
ſene.

Psal. xl.

1

David deliuered from great danger, doth magniſe and pRAISE the grace of God for his deliuerance, and commendeth his prouidence towards all mankinde. 5 Then doeth he pRIOHITe to give himſelfe wholly to God's ſeruice, and to be- clareth how God is truelie woſiſhipped. 14 Afterward he giueſt thanks and pRAIETH God, and hauing complayned of his enemies, with good courage he calleth for aid and succour.

To him that excelleth. A Pſalme of David.

I Waited a paciently for the Lorde, and he 1
inclined vnto me, and heard my crie.

He brought me also out of the horrible pit, 2
out of the myrie clay, and fet my feete vpon
the rocke, and ordered my goings.

And he hath put in my mouth a newe ſong 3
of pRAife vnto our God: many ſhall ſee it and
ſeaſe, and ſhall truſt in the Lord,

I

11 I haue declared thy righteouſneſſe in the great congregation: loe, I will not refrain me my lippes, D Lord, and that thou knoweſt.

12 I haue not hyd thy righteouſneſſe within my heart : my talking hath bene of thy trueth, and of thy faluation.

16 D'Lord, let it be thy pleasure to deliuer me: make haſte (D Lord) to helpe me.

17 Let them be affamed and confounded together that feeke after my ſoule to deſtroy it: let them be driven backeard and put to rebuke that wih me euill.

21 Thou art my helper and redeemer: make no long tarrying, D my God.

4 Blessed is the man that maketh the Lorde his truſt, and regardeth not the proude, nor ſuch as turne aſide to lyes.

5 O Lorde my God, thou haſt made thy wonderſul workes ſo many, that none can count in order to thee thy thoughts toward vs: I woule declare, and ſpeake of them, but they are moe then I am able to expreſſe.

6 Sacrifice and offering thou diddeſt not define: ( for myne eares haſt thou prepared) burnt offering and ſinne offering haſt thou not required.

7 Then ſayde I, Loe, I come: for in the rolle of the booke it is written of me,

8 I deſired to do thy good will, O my God: yea, thy Lawe is within mine heart.

9 I haue declared thy righteouſnes in the great Congregation: lo, I will not refrayne my lips: O Lord, thou knoweſt.

10 I haue not hyd thy righteouſneſſe within mine heart, but I haue declared thy trueth and thy faluation : I haue not concealed thy mercie and thy trueth from the great Congregation.

11 Withdraw not thou thy tender mercie from me, O Lorde: let thy mercie and thy trueth always preferue me.

12 For innumerable troubles haue compassed mee: my finnes haue taken ſuch holde vpon me, that I am not able to looke vp: yea, they are moe in number then the heares of mine head: therefore mine heart hath fayled me.

1. When David was rebuked by the Prophet Nathan, for his great offences, he did not only acknowledge the same to God with protestation of his natural corruption and iniquity, but also left a memorial thereof to his posterity.
2. Therefore first he defreeth God to forgive his finnes, 10 And to renue in him his holy Spirit, 13 Whilp promises that he will not be unmindefull of those great graces, 18 Finally fearing leaſt God would puniſe the whole Church for his faults, he requireth that he would rather increafe his graces towards the fame.

To him that excelleth, A Psaſme of David, when the Prophet Nathan a came

vnto him, after he had gone in to Bath-sheba.

1. H. ue mercie vpon mee (D God) after thy great goodneſſe : according vnto the multitude of thy mercies, does a way mine offences.

6. But lo, thou requireſt trueth in the inward parties: and that make me to understande wurdome ſeretiness.

7. Thou that purge mee with hyſope, and I that halbe cleane: thou that wath me, a that I be whiter then now.

8. Thou that make me heare of ioy and gladneſſe: that the bones which thou haſt broken may reioyce.

9. Turne thy face from my finnes : and put out all my middeles.

10. Make me a cleane heart, O God: and reue a right ſpirit within me.

11. Caſt me not away from thy preſence : and take not thy holy ſpirit from me.

12. D give me the coloſt of thy helpe agayne: and ſtablifh me with thy free ſpirit.

13. Then ſhall I teache thy wayes vnto the wicked: a finners that halbe couerted vnto thee.

14. D eliver me from bloodgiltinneſſe, D God, thou that art the God of my health: and my tongue that ſalſing of thy rightouſnes.

15. Thou that open my lippes (D Lord:) and my mouth that ſhew thy prayſe.

16. For thou defireſt no ſacrifice, els would I give it thee: but thou delightest not in burnt offerings.

17. The ſacrifice of God is a troubled ſpirite: a broken and contrite heart (D God) that thou not despife.

18. D be fauourable a gracious vnto Sion: bupld thou the walles of Hieruſalem.

19. Then that thou be pleased with the ſacrifice of rightouſnes, with ſ burnt offerings and oblations: then that they offer ſong bullockes vpon thyne altar.

Quid gloriaris.

1 David describeth the arrogant tyannie of his aduer farie Doeg: who by false furmiles caused Ahimelech with the rest of the Piestes to be flame. 5 David prophecieth his destruction, 6 And encourageth the faithful to put their confidence in God, whole judgements are most sharpe against his aduer faries. 9 And finally he rendeth thanks to God for his deliverance. In this Psalme is heuly set forth the kingdome of Antichrift.

To him that excelleth. A Psalme of David to give instruction. When Doeg the Edomite came and shewed Saul, and fayd to him, David is come to the house of Ahimelech.

1 W Hy boasteft thou thy self in thy wic-
kednes, O man of power the louing
kindnes of God indureth daily.

2 Thy tongue imagineth b mischiefe, and is like
a sharpe rafor, that cutteth deceptively.

3 Thou dleast loue euill more then good, and
lies, more then to speake the trueth. Selah.
Thou louest all wordes that may destroye, O
deceitfull tongue!

4 So shall God c destroy thee for euer: he shall
take thee and plucke thee out of thy taberna-
cle, and d roote thee out of the lande of the li-
ing. Selah.

5 The e righteous also shal see it, f and feare, and
shall laugh at him, saying,

6 Beholde the man that tooke not God for his
strength, but trusted vnto the multitude of his
riches, and, g put his strength in his malice.

8 But I shall be like a g greene olive tree in the
house of God: for I trusted in the mercie of
God for euer and euer.

9 I will alway pray e thee, for that thou haft done
h this, and I will h hope in thy Name, because
it is good before thy Saints.

h Executed his vengeance. 'Or, wayte vpon thy grace and pro-
ment.

1 W Hy boasteft thou thy felfe, thou ty-
rant: that thou canst do mischiefe?
whereas the goodnes of God: en-
dureth yet dayly.

2 Thy tongue imagineth wickednesse: and
with lyes thou cutteth like a harpe rafor.

3
4 Thou haft loued vrightcounesse more
than goodnesse: and to talke of lyes more
than rightcounesse.

5
6
7
Thou haft loued to speake all wordes that
may do hurt: D thou felfe tongue.

6 Therefore shall God deſtroy thee for euer:
he that take thee, and plucke thee out of
thy dwelling, and roote thee out of the lande of
the living.

8 The righteous also shall fee this, and feare:
and shall laugh him to corn.

8 Lo, this is the man that tooke not God for
his strength: but trusted vnto the multi-
tude of his riches, a strengthened him like
in his wickedneſſe.

9 As for mee, I am like a greene Olive tree
in the house of God: my trust is in the ten-
der mercy of God: euer and euer.

10 I will always give thanks vnto thee for
that thou haſt done: and I will hope in the

abominable wickedneſſe. there is none
that doeth good.

2 God looked downe from heauen vpon the chil-
dren of me, to fee if there were any that would
vnderstand, and c seeke God.

* Every one is gone backe: they are altogether corrupt : there is none that doeth good, no not one.

4 Do not the d workers of iniquitie knowe that they eat vp my people as they eat bread? they call not vpon God.

5 There they were afraide for feare, where
no c feare was : for God hath scattered the
bones of him that befieged thee : thou haſt
put them to confusion, because God hath caſt
them of.

T he foolish body hath said in his heart: Euening
there is no God.

2 Corrupt are they, and become abo-
minable in their wicknednesse: there is none
that doeth good.

3 God looked downe from heauen vpon the
childre of men: to fee if there were any that
would vnderstand and seeke after God.

4 But they are all gone out of the way, they
are altogether become abominable: there is
also none that doeth good, no not one.

5 Are not they without understanding that
worke wickednes: eating vp my people as
if they would eate bread? they haue not cal-
led vpon God.

6 They were afraid where no feare was: for
God hath broken the bones of him that be-
fieged thee, thou haſt put them to confusion,
because God hath despised them.

7 Oh that the faluation were given vnto J-

deliver his people out of captiuitie.

2 I will call unto the most high God: even unto the God that shall perfourme the cause which I have in hand.

3 He shall send from heauen: as faue me from the reproofe of him that would eat me vp.

4 God shall send forth his mercie and trueth: my soule is among the ions.

5 And I lie even among the children of men (as are set on fire:) whole teethe are speares & arrowes, and their tongue a harpe sword.

6 Set vp thy selfe, God, above thy heauens: and thy glory above all the earth.

7 They have laid a net for my feete, as pressed downe my soule: they have digged a pit before me, and are fallen into the middles of it. Selah.

8 My heart is fixed, God, my heart is fixed: I will sing and give praise.

9 Awake vp thy glory, awake Lute and Harpe: I my selfe will awake right early.

10 I will give thankes unto thee, Lord, among the people: and I will sing unto thee among the nations.

11 For the greatnes of thy mercie reacheth unto the heauens: and thy trueth unto the clouds.

9 I will praiſe thee, O Lord, among the people, and I will ſing vnto thee among the nations.

10 For thy mercie is great vnto the heauens, and thy trueth vnto the clouds.

11 Exalt thy selfe, O God, aboue the heauens, and let thy glorie be vpon all the earth.

Psal. li vii.

6 Baughrereueth that which JESUQNE, I am homed to pay my vows of thankaguing, as JESUQNE.

This was better the beaſing of a cerreme long, or the wuols which Dauns uttered, when he laſed his affection.

7 Saith a. Or, dwell moſt safely.

8 He comareth the afflictions, which God layeth upon his childe, to a ſonner that commeth and gart.

9 Who leaſeth not his works to begin unperſtit.

10 He would rather deliver me by a man that I should be hercule.

11 He is then rather better than he would be.

12 Whome he would be, he would rather deliver me by a man that I should be hercule.

13 Suffer me not to be dropped to the contempt of thy name.

14 For verbe is the name, and the great banns on all lives.

15 That is, which help tend to give thee that e for my delivery.

16 The which that both his heart shall move God, and his name shall be knowne.

17 That he will not other meanes to pious heauen founda vnto the fame.

18 The which he would not affaime to execute the mercie publike which he haue imas giuen in pante hearres.

19 The charitie is, euemers to the pante of god euen from their birth.

20 The pape in nature, and in nature, and in nature.

1 Is it true? O a Congregation, aspeake ye iuſtly? O ſonnes of men, judge ye vprightely?

2 Yea, rather ye imagine mischiefe in your heart: b your hands execute crueltie vpon the earth.

3 The wicked c are strangers from the wombe: euen from the belly haue they erred, & aspeake lies.

4 Their poyſon is euen like the poyſon of a ſerpent: like the deafe d adder that stoppeth his ear.

5 Which heareth not the voyce of the inchanter, though he be most expert in charming.

6 Breake their teeth, O God, in their mouths: breake the iawes of the yong lyons, O Lord.

7 Let them melt like the waters, let them paffe away: when he shooteth his arrows, let them be as broken.

8 Let him confume like a ſnayle that melthe, and like the vntimely fruit of a woman, that hath not feene the ſunne.

Eripe me de inimicis.

1 David being in great danger of Saul, who ſent to flap him in his bed, payeth unto God: 2 Deereath his innoſcencie, and their ſurie, 3 Desiring God to deſtroy all that ſinne of malicious wickednes. 11 Whom though he keepe alive for a time to exercise his people, yet in the end he will confume them in his watch, 13 That he may be knowne to be the God of Jaakob to the end of the world. 16 For this he ſingeth paffes to God, allured of his mercies.

To him that excellent. Destroy not. A Psalme of David on a Michtam. * When Saul ſent and they did watch the house to kil him.

1 My God, b deuier me from mine enemies: defend me from them that rife vp againſt me.

2 Deuier me from the wicked doers, and ſaue me from the bloodie men.

3 For lo, they haue laide waite for my ſoule: the mightie men are gathered againſt me, not for mine c offence, nor for my ſinne, O Lord.

4 They runne and prepare themſelues without a fault on my part: arise therefor to aſſist me, and beholde.

5 Euen thou, O Lord God of hoſtes, O God of Israel awake to viſite all the heathen, and bee not d merciful vnto all that tranſſerſe maliciousouſly. Selah.

6 They go to and fro in the euening: they barke like e dogges, and go about the citie.

7 Beholde, they f brag in their talke, and ſwords are in their lips: for who, ſap they, doth heare?

8 But thou, O Lord, ſhalt haue them in derision, and thou ſhalt laugh at all the heathen.

9 He is strong: but I will waite vpon thee: for God is my defence.

10 My merciful God will b prevent me: God will let me ſee my deſire vpon mine enemies.

11 Slay them i not, leaſt my people forget it: but ſatter them abroad by thy power, and put them downe, O Lord our ſhield,

12 For the ſinne of their mouth, and the words of their lips: and let them be k taken in their pride, euen for their periurie and lies, that they ſpeake.

13 Conſume them in thy wrath: conſume them that they be no more: and let them know that God ruleth in Jaakob, euen vnto the endes of the world. Selah.

14 And in the euening they m shall go to and fro, and barke like dogs, and go about the city.

6 Breake their teeth ( O God ) in their mouthes, finite the chaw bones of the lions, O Lord: let them fal away like water that runneth apace, and when they hoote their arrows, let them be rooted out.

7 Let them confume away like a ſnayle, and be like the vntimely fruit of a woman: and let them not fee the ſunne.

8 Or euer pour pottes be made whot with thornes: so let indignation vere him, euen as a thing that is rawe.

9 The righteous ſhall reioyce when he feeth the venſance: he ſhall waſh his footsteps in the blood of the ungodly.

10 So that a man ſhall ſay, verily there is a reward for the righteous: doubtlesſe there is a God that iudgeth the earth.

D Eliuer mee from mine enemies, ( O Euening God : ) defend me from them that rife prayer, bp againſt me.

1 O deliver me from the wicked doers: and ſaue me from the blood thirſtie men.

2 For lo, they lie waiting for my ſoule: the mightie men are gathered againſt me, with-ouſ any offence or fault of me, O Lord.

3 They runne and prepare themſels withouſt my fault: arise thou therefor to helpe me, and behold.

4 Stand by ( O Lord God of hoſtes ) thou God of Israel, to viſite all the heathen: and be not merciful vnto them that offend of malicious wickednes.

5 They go to and fro in the euening: they gretne like a dogge, and runne about through the citie.

6 Beholde, they ſpeake with their mouth, & words are in their lips: for who, doth he hear?

7 But thou, O Lord, halt haue them in derision: and thou halt laugh all the heathen to tone.

8 My strength will I aſcribe vnto thee: for thou art the God of my refuge.

9 God is the God of my refuge. 10 God ſheweth me his goodnes plenteously: & God shall let me ſee my deſire vpon mine enemies.

11 Slap them not, leaſt my people forget it: but ſatter them abroad among the people, & put them downe, O Lord, our defence.

12 For the ſinne of their mouth, and for the words of their lippes, they haliſe taken in their pride: and why? their preaching is of curling and lies.

13 Conſume them in thy wrath, conſume them, that they may perish: and know that it is God which ruleth in Jacob, and vnto the ends of the world.

Psal. Ixii.

This Psalme partly containeth meditations, whereby David encourageth himselfe to truft in God against the faults of tentations, And because our mindes are easily drawn from God by the allurements of the world, he sharpely repreeth this vanitie, to the intent he might cleane fast to the Lord.

To the excellent musician * Ieduthun, A Psalme of David.

1

Y Et a my foule keepeth silence vnto God: of him cometh my saluation.

b Yet he is my strength and my saluation, and my defence: therefore I shall not much be moued.

How long will ye imagine mischiefe against a man? ye shall be all flaine: ye shall be as a 2 bowed wall, or as a 3 wall shaken.

Yet they confult to caft him downe from his dignitie: their delight is in lies, they blefe with their mouthes, but curse with their hearts. Selah.

c Yet my foule keepe thou silence vnto God: for mine hope is in him.

Yet is hee my strength, and my saluation, and my defence: therefore I shall not be moued.

In God is my saluation and my GLYPH<223>glorie, the rocke of my strength: in God is my truft.

Truſt in him alway, ye people: 5 powre out your hearts before him, for God is our hope. Selah.

Yet the children of men are vanitie, the chief men are lies: to lay them vpon a balance they are altogether lighter then vanitie.

10 Truſt not in oppreſſion nor in robbery: be not vaine: if riches increafe, let not your heart thereon.

11 God spake i once or twife, I haue heard it, that power belongeth vnto God,

12 And to thee, O Lord, mercie: for thou kerewardest euerie one according to his worke.

M Morning M P soule truely waiteth still vpon God: for of him commeth my falation: prayer.

He verily is my strength and my saluation: he is my defence, to that I shall not greatly fall.

How long will ye imagine mischieſe against every man: ye shall be ſtaine all the ſort of you, as a tottering wall shall ye be, and like a broken hedge.

Their deuice is onely how to put him out
whome God will eralt: their delight is in
lies, they give good words to their mouth,
but curte with their heart.

Heuertheleſse, my soule waiteth thou STIL to God: for my hope is in him.

He truly is my strength and my saluation: he is my defence, to that I shall not fall.

In God is my health and my glorie: the rocke of my might, is in God my truſt.

I put your truſt in him alway (ye people:) powre out your heart, before him, for God is our hope.

As for the children of men, they are but
baine: the children of men are deceitful bp-

David after he had bene in great danger by Saul in the desert of Ziph, made this Psalme, 3 Wherein he giueeth thanks to God for his wonderfull delivrance, in whose mercies he truſteth, euen in the midsts of his milles, 9 Ployphecying the deſtruction of Gods enemies: 11 And contrariwise happynes to all them that truſt in the Lord. A Psalme of David. When he was in the a wildernes of Ludah.

For thy louing kindnes is better then life: therefore my lippes shall praise thee.

Thus will I magnifie thee all my life, and lift vp mine hands in thy name.

The earth shooke, and the heauens dropped

moued at the prefence of God, even the God
of Israel.

Thou, O God, ſendeſt a gracious raine upon
thine inheritance, and thou didest refresh it
when it was wearie.

10 Thy Congregation dwelled therein: for thou,
O God, haſt of thy ſgoodnes prepared it for
the poore.

11 The Lord gaue matter to the h women to tell

12 Kings of the armies did ſlee: they did ſlee

yea, the Lord wil dwell in it for euer.

17 The chargets of God are twentie thouſand

p. Thouفت that I am better as a thepe among many people. q. He knoweth that it is in him to put our truth in me in our great necessities, but that our company onely beseecheth of God: so man rather increase our lives, then dunnilyeth them, Joh. 19.

29. r. He beleeeth God to execute his oblations against the reprobate, which cannot by any means be turned, Rom. 11, 9.

x. 19. s. Take both judgement & payes from them.

Ac. 1, 10.

x. The which knowne by their joyefull out to have bene written in the book, yet be their faults pionne the contrarie, let them be knowne as reprobate.
y. There is no sacrifice, which God more afternery, then thanksgiving for his benes fire.

z. For as he delivered his fermant Das. so will he

12 They that l fate in the gate, spake of me, and the drunkards sang of me.

13 But Lord, I make my prauer vnto thee in an m acceptable time, euen in the multitude of thy mercie: O God, heare me in the trueth of thy faluation.

14. Deiuer me out of the myre, that I finke nor: let me be deliuered from them that hate mee, and out of the n deepe waters.

15. Let not the water flood drowne me, neither let the deepe fallowe me vp: and let not the pit shut her mouth vpon me.

16 Heare me, O Lord, for thy louing kindnes is good: turne vnto me according to the multitude of thy tender mercies.

17 And o hide not thy face from thy fermant, for I am in trouble: make hafe and heare me.

18 Drawneere vnto my foule and redeeme it: deliuer me because of mine enemies.

19 Thou haft knowne my reproofe and my shame, and my dishonour: all mine P aduerfaries are before thee.

20 Rebuke hath broken mine heart, and I am full of heavines, and q I looked fo; some to haue pitie on me, but there was none: and for comforters, but I found none.

21 For they gaue me gall in my meat, and in my thirft they gaue me vineger to drinke.

22 Let their t table be afnare before them, and their prosperitie their ruine.

23 Let their eyes be blinded that they see not: and make their f loynes alway to tremble.

24 Powre out thine anger vpon them, and let thy wrathfull displeasure take them.

25 *Let their t habitation be voyde, and let none dwell in their tents.

26 For they perfecute him, whome thou haft smitten: and they adde vnto the forowe of them, whome thou haft wounded.

27 Lay u iniquitie vpon their iniquitie, and let them not come into thy righoufnes.

28 Let them be put out of the x booke of life, neither let them be written with the righte ous.

29 When I am poore and in heavines, thine helpe, O God, shall exalt me.

30 I wil praise the Name of God with a song, and magnifie him with thankefiuing.

31 This also shall please the Lord better a y yong bullocke, that hath hornes and hoofes.

32 The humble shall fee this, and they that seeth God, shall be glad, and your heart shall line.

33 For the Lord heareth the poore, and despiſe not his z prifoners.

34 Let heauen and earth praise him: the seas & all that moueth in them.

35 For God will faue Zion, and builde the cities of Judah, that men may dwell there, and have it in possession.

36 The a feede also of his fermants shall inhere it: and they that loue his Name, shall dwell therein.

12 Thep that fit in p gate speake against me: and the drunkards makeongs vpon me.

13 But Lord I make my prayer vnto thee: in an acceptable time.

14. Heare me, O God, in the multitude of thy mercy: euen in the trueth of thy faluation.

15. Take me out of the mire, that I finke not: oh let me be deliuered from them that hate me, and out of the deepe waters.

17 Heare me, O Lord, for thy louing kindnes is comfortable: turne thee vnto me, according to the multitude of thy mercies.

18 And hide not thy face from thy fermant, fo; I am in trouble: oh haſte thee, and heare me.

19 Dnaue nigh vnto my ſoule, and faue it: oh deliuer me, because of mine enemies.

20 Thou haſt known my reſpooke, my ſhame, and my diſhonour: mine aduerfaries are al in thy flight.

21 Thy rebuke hath broken my heart, I am full of heauines: I looked fo; some to haue pitie on me, but there was no man, neither found I any to comforſt me.

32 This also shall please the Lord: better then a bullocke, that hath hornes and hoofes.

33 The humble shall consider this, e be glad: feeke pe after God, and your ſoule shall line.

34 For the Lord heareth the poore: and defileth not his prizoners.

4 For they are in no perill of death: but are luſtie and strong.

5 They come in no miſkoſtume like other folk: neither are they plagued like other men.

6 And this is the cauſe that they be so holden with pride: or ouerwhelmed with crueltie.

7 Their eyes well with fatneſſe: and they do euern what they luſp.

8 They corrupt other, and ſpeake of wicked blasphemie : their talking is against the moſt highe.

9 For they stretch forth their mouth vnto the heauen: and their tongue goeth through the world.

10 Therefore fall the people vnto them: and thereoutucke they no small aduantage.

11 Tuchſe (lay the) how should God perceive it: is there kus wledge in the moſt highe?

12 Lo, theſe are the vngodly, theſe ploſper in the world, and theſe haue riches in poſſession: and I ſaid, then haue I clenſed my heart in baine, a washed my hands in innocencie.

13 All the day long haue I bene puniſhed: and chaſteneuery morning.

14 Dea, and I had almost layd euern as they: but loe, then should I haue condemned the generation of thy children.

15 Then thought I to verſtand this: but it was to hard for me.

16 Until I went into the Sāctuarie of God:

13 He ſhal be merciſull to the poore and needie, and ſhal preferue the ſoules of the poore.

14 He shall redeem their ſoules from decayte and violence, and I deare shall their blood be in his fight.

15 Yea, he ſhal liue, and vnto him shall they giue of the m golde of Sheba: they ſhal almoſt pray for him continually, and dayly bleſſe him.

16 An handeſull of corne shall be ſowen in the earth, euern in the top of the mountains, and the n fruite thereof ſhal shake like the trees of Lebanon: and the children shall floriſh out of the citie like the graſſe of the earth.

17 His name ſhal be for euer: his name shall inſure as long as the funne: al nations ſhal bleſſe him, and be bleſſed in him.

18 Bleſſed be the Lord God, euern the God of Israel, which onely doeth P wonderous things.

19 And bleſſed be his glorious Name for euer: and let all the earth be filled with his glory. So be it, euern ſo be it.

3 Under ſeu a king ſhal be a moſt great ploſt, both of fraire, and almoſt of the encroſe of mankinde.

Y Et a God is good to Israel: euern, to the pure in heart.

As for mee, my ſeete were almoſt gone: my ſteps had welneere ſlipt.

For I treated at the fooliſthe, when I ſaw the ploſperitie of the wicked.

For there are b no bandes in their death, but they are luſtie and strong.

5 They are not in trouble as other men, neither are they plagued with other men.

c Therefore pyde is as a chayne vnto them, and crueltie couereth them as a garment.

9 Their eyes stande out for fatneſſe: † they haue more then heart can wiſh.

8 They are licentious, and ſpeake wickedly of their oppreſſion: they talke ploſumptuouſly.

9 They d ſet their mouth againſt heauen, and their tongue walketh through the earth.

10 Therefore his e people turne hither: for waters of a full cup are wrung out to them.

11 And they f lay, Howe doeth God knowe it? or is there knowledge in the moſt High?

12 Lo, theſe are the wicked, yet ploſer they alway, and increaſe in riches.

13 Certainly I haue cleansed mine heart in vayne, and waſhed myne hands in innocencie.

14 For dayly haue I bene puniſhed, & chaſteneuery morning.

15 If I lay, I will judge thus, beholde the generation of thy children: I haue trefpaſſed.

16 Then thought I to knowe this, but it was too painefull for me,

a As it were betweene hope and deſpere, heatterly forth into this affection, beſing affuſhed that God would continue his fauourit toward him as were godly in beebe, and not hyposcrites.

c The wicked in this life true at pleasure, and are notIALWATe to death like the pufiſers: that is by ſicknes which is breath his minter.

e Then glorie in their pite as some bee in their chames and in crenſie, as some bee in apparell.

f I lay. They paffe the deſires of the heart.

d Thep blaſſe God and are not his power, and rapiſ up men, because they estreace themelues about all others.

m The teaching be to beueu our feres, to have God one whole tuffeſcience, and ones by contentment.

19 Howe suddenly are they destroyed, perished and i horribly consumed,

20 As a dreame when one awaketh! O Lorde, who k thou rayſeſt vs vp, thou haſt make their image deſpised.

21 Certainly mine heart was vexed, and I was pricked in my reynes:

27 For lo, they that withdrawe themſelues from thee, shall perſh: thou deſtroyeſt all them that I go a whoring from thee.

28 As for me, it is good for me q to drawe neere to God: therefore I haue put my truſt in the Lord God, that I may declare all thy works.

p That is, for ſake thee to feeke others. q Though all the woldes that come from God, put the pionieſh to truſt in him, and to maſſure his works,

then vnderſtoode I the ende of theſe men.

18 Howe sodainely doe they conſume: perſi, and come to a ſarefull ende?

19 Bea, euen like as a dreame when one awaketh: so haſt thou make their image to hanish out of the citie.

20 Thus my heart was grieued: and it went euen through my reynes.

21 So foolish was I and ignorant: euen as it were a beaſt before thee.

22 Neuertheleſe, I am alwaye by thee: for thou haſt holden me by my right hand.

23 Thou haſt guide me with thy counſel: and after that receiue me with glorie.

24 Whome have I in heauen but thee: and there is none upon earth that I deſire in comparison of thee.

25 My ſake and my heart kapleth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for euer.

26 For lo, they that forſake thee shall perſh: thou haſt deſtroyed all them that commit forſication against thee.

11 O God, wherefore art thou absent from vs so long: why is thy wath so hot a gainſt the heepe of thy paultre?

12 O thinke vpon thy conſregation: whome thou haſt purchased and redeemed of old.

13 O thinke vpon the tribe of thine inheritance: and mount Sion wherin thou haſt dwelt.

12 Nobly withdawest thou thy hande : why
pluckt not thou thy right hand out of thy
boſome to consume the enemie?

13 For God is my King of olde : the helpe that is done vpon earth, he doeth it him selfe.

14 Thou didst diuide the Sea through thy
power: thou brakeſt the heades of the Dra-
gons in the waters.

15 Thou motest the heades of Leviathan in
pieces: and gaueſt him to be meate for the
people in the wilderneſse.

16 Thou broughtest out ſountaing and waters out of the hard roches: thou dyedst by mightie waters.

17 The daye is thine, and the nyght is thine:
thou haſt prepared the light and the ſunne.

18 Thou haſt let all the borders of the earth:
thou haſt made Sommer and Wint er.

19 Remember this, O Lord, how the enemie
hath rebuked : and howe the foolish people
hath blasphem'd thy name.

20 O deliver not the foule of thy Turtle
Done vnto the multitude of the enemie:
and forget not the congreg ation of the pooze

21 Looke upon the couenant: for all the earth
is full of darkeneſſe, and cruell habitations.

22 Oy let not the simple goe away alſamed:
but let the pooze and needie gue prapre vnto

23 Arife, O God, mayntapne thine owne

8 And why? God is the Judge: he putteth

9 For in the hand of the Lorde there is a cup,

13 Thou didst deuide the Sea by thy power: thou

14 Thou brakeſt the head of k Liuiathan in pie-

15 Thou brakeſt vp the fountaine and riuer: thou

16 The m day is thine, & the night is thine: thou
haſt prepared the light and the ſunne.

17 Thou haſt set all the borders of the earth:

18 Remember this, that the enemie hath repro-

10. They kept not the covenant of God, but refused to walke in his Lawe,

11. And forgate his Actes, and his wonderful works that he had flewed them.

12. He did maruelous things in the fight of their fathers in the land of Egypt: even in the field of Zoan.

13. He deuided the Sea, and led them through: he made also the waters to stand as an heape.

14. * In the day time also he ledde them with a cloude, and all the night with a light of fire.

15. * He claue the rockes in the wildernesse, and gaue them drinke as of the great depths.

16. * He brought floodes also out of the stonie rocke, so that he made the waters to defcende like the riuers.

17. Yet they k finned still against him, and prouoked the Higheft in the wildernesse,

18. And tempted God in their hearts in 1 requiring meate for their luft.

19. * They fpake against God also, faying, Can God m prepare a table in the wildernesse?

20. * Beholde, he smote the rocke, that the water gufhed out, and the streames ouerflowed: can he giue breade also? or prepare fleshe for his people?

21. Therefore the Lord heard and was angrie, & the *fire was kindled in Iaakob, and also wrath came vpon Ifrael,

22. Because they beleued not in God, & n trusted not in his helpe.

23. Yet he had commanded the o cloudes above, and had opened the doores of heauen,

24. And had rayned downe MAN vpon them for to eate, and had giuen them of the wheate of heauen.

25. * Man did eate the bread of Angels: he sent them meat ynough.

26. He caufed the PEAftwinde to paffe in the heauen, and through his power he brought in the Southwinde.

27. He rayned fleshe also vpon them as duft, and feathered foule as the fand of the sea.

28. And he made it fall in the middes of their campe, euen round about their habitations.

29. So they did eate and were well filled: for he gaue them their desire.

30. They were not turned from their 9 luft, but the meate was yet in their mouths,

32. For all this, they finned still, & beleeued not his wonderful workes.

33. Therefore their dayes did he consume in vanitie, and their yeres haftily.

34. And when he t'flew e them, they fought him and they returned, and fought God earely.

35. And they remembred that God was their strength, and the most high God their redeemer.

36. But they flattered him with their mouth, and dissembled with him with their tongue.

37. For their u heart was not upright with him:

would not walke in his lawe.

12. But forgate what he had done: as the wonderfull worke that he had flewed for them.

13. Maruelous things did he in the fight of our forefathers in the lande of Egypt: euen in the field of Zoan.

14. He divided the Sea, as let them go through: he made the waters to stand on an heape.

15. In the daye time also he led them with a cloude : and all the nyght through with a light of fire.

16. He claue the hard rockes in the wildernesse: and gaue them drinke therof, as it had bene out of the great depth.

17. He brought waters out of the stony rocke: so that it gufhed out like the riuers.

18. Yet for all this they finned more against him: and prouoked the most Higheft in the wildernesse.

19. They tempted God in their hearts: and required meat for their luft.

20. They fpake against God also, faying: shall God prepare a table in the wildernesse?

21. He smote the stonie rocke in deede, that the water gufhed out, and the streames flowed withall: but can he giue bread also, or pious flesh for his people?

22. What the Lord heard this, he was wroth: so the fire was kindled in Jacob, and there came vp heauie displeasure against Israel.

23. Because they beleeued not in God: and put not their trust in his helpe.

24. So he commanded the cloudes above: opened the doores of heauen.

25. He rained downe Manna also vpon them for to eate: and gaue them foode from heauen.

26. So man did eate angels foode: for he sent them meate ynough.

27. He caued the East winde to blowe under heauen: and through his power he brought in the Southwes t winde.

28. He rayned fleshe vpon them as thicke as dust: and feathered foules like as the lande of the Sea.

29. He let it fal among their tents: euen round about their habitation.

30. So they did eate as were well filled, for he gaue them their owne desire: they were not diss appointed of their luft.

31. But whie the meate was yet in their mouthes, the heauie wrath of God came vpon them, and flue the we lthiest of them: yea, and smote downe the cho sen men that were in Israel.

32. But for all this they finned yet more: and beleeued not his wonderous workes.

33. Therof their dayes did he consume in vanitie: and their yeres in trouble.

34. When he flue them, they fought him: and turned them early, as enquired after God.

37 For their heart was not whole with him: neither continued they stedfast in his course.

38 But he was so merciful that hee for gaue their middeedes: and destroyed them not.

39 Bea many a tyme turned he his wath a way: and woude not suffer his whole difpleasure to arise.

40 For he considered that they were but flesh: and that they were even a winde that pafeth away, and commeth not againe.

41 Many a time did they prouoke him in the wilderneſse: and griuen him in the desert.

42 They turned backe a tempted God: and moued the holy one in Israel.

43 They thought not of his hande: and of the day when he deliuered them from the hand of the enemie.

44 Howe he had wrought his miracles in Egypt: a his wonders in the field of Zoan.

45 He turned their waters into blood: so that they might not drinke of the riuers.

46 Hee lent lyce among them, and deuoured them vp: and frogges to destroy them.

47 He gaue their fruite vnto the Caterpiller: and their labour vnto the Graſhopper.

48 He deſtroyed their vines with hailstones: and their Mulberie trees with the frost.

49 He smote their cattel also with hailstones: and their flocks with hot thunder: boltes.

50 He cast upon them the ſuriousneſſe of his wath, anger, diſpleasure, and trouble: and sent euill angels among them.

51 He made a waye to his indignation, a spaven not their foule fro: death: but gaue their life ouer to the pectilence.

52 And smote all the firſt borne in Egypt: the moſt principall and mightyeſt in the dwellings of Ham.

53 But as for his owne people, hee led them forth like Sheepe: and carped them in the wilderneſſe like a flocke.

54 He brought the out faſely that they should not feare: and ouerwhelmed their enemies with the sea.

55 And brought them within the borders of his ſanctuarie: euen to his moutaine which he purchased with his right hand.

56 He caſt out the heathen alſo before them: cauſed their land to be deuied amog them for an heritage, and made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents.

57 So they tempted and displeased the moſt high God: and kept not his teſtimonies.

58 But turned their backes, and fell awaye like their foſe fathers: starting alide like a broken bowe.

59 For they griuen him with their hyll alutters: and prouoke him to diſpleasure with their images.

60 Where God heard this, he was wroth: and tooke one diſpleasure at Israel.

61 So that he for ſooke the tabernacle in Sello: euen the tent that he had pitched amog them.

neither were they faithful in his couenant.

38 Yet he beeyng merciful ſx for gaue their iniquitie, and destroyed them not, but oft times called backe his anger, and did not stirre vp all his wrath.

39 For he remembred that they were flehe: yea, a winde that pafeth and commeth not againe.

40 How oft did they prouoke him in the wildernes? and grieue him in the desert?

41 Yea, they returned, and tempted God, and limited the Holie one of Israel.

42 They a remembred not his hande, no: the day when hee deliuered them from the enemie,

43 No: him that fet his ſignes in Egypt, and his wonders in the fielde of Zoan,

44 And turned their riuers into blood, and their floods, that they could not drinke.

45 Hee ſent b a ſwarme of flyes among them, which deuoured them, and frogges, which destroyed them.

46 He c gaue also their fruites vnto the caterpiller, and theyr labour vnto the graſhopper.

47 He destroyed their vines with haile, and their wilde figge trees with the hayleſtone.

48 He gaue their cattel alſo to the hayle, & their flocks to the thunderbolts.

49 He caſt vpon them the fiercenes of his anger, indignation and wrath, & vexation by the lending out of d euill Angels.

50 He made away to his anger: he spared not their ſoule from death, but gaue their life to the pectilence,

51 And smote all the firſt borne in Egypt, euen the e beginning of their strength in the tabernacles of f Ham.

52 But hee made his people to goe out like Sheepe, and led them in the wilderneſſe like a flocke.

53 Yea, he carved them out faſely, and they ſeemed not, and the Sea couered their enemies.

54 And he brought them vnto the borders of his b Sanctuarie: euen to this Mountaine, which his right hand purchased.

55 *He caſt out the heathen alſo before them & cauſed them to fall to the lotte of his inheritance, and made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tabernacles.

56 Yet they tempted, & prouoke the moſt high God, and kept not his teſtimonies,

57 But turned backe and dealt f falſely like their fathers: they turned like a deceitfull bowe.

58 And they k prouoke him to anger with their high places, and mooued him to wrath with their grauen images.

59 God heard this and was wroth, and greatly abhorred Israel,

60 So that he l for ſooke the habitation of Shilo, euen the Tabernacle where he dwelt among men,

61 And deliuered his m power into captuitie, & his beautie into the enemies hand.

The Arke is called his power and beautie, because thereb he deſtroyed his power, and beautifully appeared vnto them.

Because he woude enter haue ſome remnant of a Church to diaple his Hauag earth, he diſſeated not their finnes to overcome his mersie.

y That is, they tempted him or times.

z As they all deate that meane the power of God up their capa city.

a The folgues ſtines of god benefits is the row of trabeling and all vices.

b This woude ſignify a cauſed measure of fires and benemous wonnes.

Some take it for all foles of ferreite: ſome for all true heafles.

c Hee repeateth not here all the iniuacles that God did in Egypt, but certaine which might be sufficent to consuue the pious of iniquity, and inhumanity, and vulture.

d Sealed, eisder of the effect: that is, of purifying the wicked, or else because they were wutcked, spirits, whom God permits to be vndre.

e The firſt boome are so called, as Gen. 49. 3.

f That is, it was called Jnainn of Egypt of Jnainam, that was the boome of Jamin.

g That is, they had none encaiton to fear, for alway as God delivered their enemies and deliuered them faſe.

h Meaning Canaan, which God had conſerate to humpel, and appointed to his people, Josh. 11. 6.

i Nothing neuer diſpleased God in the children, then when they continue in that twice kebes, which their fathers had begin.

k That is, beginning God other than that he had appears.

l For their ingratitude he inſerved the Philistines to take the Arke, which was the name of his diſpleasure, from among them.

62 And he gaue vp his people to the ſword, and
was angry with his inheritance.

63 The fire n deuoured their choſen men, and
their maydes were not o prayſed.

64 Their Priſts ſell by the ſword, and their Pwi-
dowes lamented not.

65 But the Lorde awaked as one out of ſleepe,
and as a ſtrong man that after his q wine cry-
eth out,

66 And ſmore his enemies in the hinder parts,
and put them to a perpetual ſhame.

67 Yet he reſuſed the tabernacle of Joseph, and
choſe not the tribe of Ephraim:

68 But choſe the tribe of Judah, and mount Zi-
on which he loued.

69 And he ſbuylt his Sanctuarie as an high pa-
lace, like the earth, which he ſtablithed for
euer.

70 He choſe David alſo his ſeruaunt, and tooke
him from the ſheepeſoldes.

71 Euen fröh behind the ewes with yong brought
he him to ſeede his people in Iaakob, and his
inheritance in Israel.

72 So he ſed them according to the ſimplicitie
of his heart, & guided them by the diſcretion
of his hands.

62 He deliuered their power into captiuitie:
and their beauite into the enemies hand.

63 He gaue his people ouer alſo vnto ſword:
and was wroth with his inheritance.

64 The fire ſ consumed their yong men : and
their maydens were not giuen to marriage.

65 Their Diſtts were ſtaine with the ſword;
and there were no wiſdowes to make la-
mentation.

66 So the Lord awaked as one out of ſleepe,
and like a Giaſt reſſehed with wine.

67 He ſmote his enemies in the hinder parts:
and put them to a perpetual ſhame.

68 He reſuſed the tabernacle of Joseph : and
choſe not the tribe of Ephraim.

69 But choſe the tribe of Iuda : even the hill
of Sion, which he loued.

70 And there he buyldeſd his temple on high :
and layd the foundation of it like the groſd
which he hathe made continually.

71 He choſe David alſo his ſeruant : a tooke
him away from the ſheepeſoldes.

72 As hee was following the Ewes great
with yßg ones, he tooke him: that he might
ſeede Jacob his people, and Iſrael his in-
heritance.

73 So he ſed them with a faithfull and true
heart: and ruled them prudently with all
his power.

and the flehe of thy Saintes vnto the beaſtes

3 Their blood haue they ſhed like waters round

12 O let the sovowful fighting of the prisoners come before thee: according to the greatnes of thy power preferue thou thole that are appoynted to dye.

Qui regis Israel.

1 A lamentable prayer to God to helpe the mileries of his Church, 8 Desiring him to consider their furst estate, when his fauour thine towards them, to the intent that he might be as that which he had begonne.

To him that excelleth on Shofhannim Eduth. A Psalme

committed to Asaph.

1 HEare, O thou shephearde of Israel, that thou leadeſt Iofeph like a sheep: that we theſeſe also thou that littleſt upon the Cherubims.

2 Before Ephraim, Benjamin, Manassels: ſtire vp thy strength, & come and helpe vs.

3 Turne vs againe, O God: let the light of thy countenance, and we ſhalbe whole.

4 O Loode God of hoſtes: how long wilt thou be angry with thy people that prayeth?

5 Thou keſed them with bread of teares: and gueſt them plenteouſe of teares to drinke.

6 Thou haſt made vs a very ſtrife vnto our neyghbours: and our enemies laugh vs to ſcne.

7 Turne vs again, thou God of hoſtes: let the light of thy countenance, and we ſhalbe whole.

8 Thou haſt brought a vine out of Egypt: thou haſt caſt out the heathen, as planted it.

9 Thou madſt roume for it; and when it had taken root, it filled the lande.

10 The hilles were couered with the shadow of it: and the boughes thereof were like the goodly Cedar trees.

11 She stretched out her biaunches vnto the sea: and her boughes vnto the riuer.

12 Why haſt thou then broken downe her hedge: that all they which go by plucke of her grapes?

13 The wylde Boze out of the wood doeth roote it vp: and the wilde beaſts of the field demoure it.

14 Turne thee agayne, thou God of hoſtes, looke downe from heauen: beholde, and viſite this vine.

15 And the place of a vineyard that thy right hand hath planted: as the branche that thou madeſt to strong for thy ſelſe.

16 It is burnt with fire and cut downe: and they perish at the m rebuke of thy countenance.

17 Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hande: and vpon the ſonne of man, whoine thou madeſt to strong for thy owne ſelſe.

18 And to will not we goe bakc from thee:

heathen in our fight by the vengeance of the blood of their feruants that is ſhed.

11 Let the fighting of the prifoners come before thee: according to thy mightie arme preferue the children of death,

12 And render to our neyghbours ſeuen folde into their bosome they reproche, wherewith they haue reproched thee, O Lorde.

13 So we thy people, and ſheepe of thy pature ſhall prayſe thee for euer: and from generation to generation I will ſet ſoorth thy prayſe.

Psal. lxxx.

1 Who then thought in respect of god then were thus puniſhed for their tims, per in confidence of their cause were thus trulſt unres there.

2 Which were captives among their enemies, and could leske for nothing but death.

3 I weare not to bare no taries of God, but on this occasion to vnaue his name.

HEare, a thou Shepheard of Israel, that leadeſt Iofeph like ſheepe: that we theſeſe, thou that littleſt betweene the b Cherubims.

2 Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh ſtire vp thy strength, and come to helpe vs.

3 c Turne vs againe, O God, and cause thy face to shine that we may be faued.

4 O Lord God of hoſtes, how long wilt thou be angry againſt the prayer of thy people?

5 Thou haſt fed them with the bread of teares, and giuen them teares to drinke with great meaure.

6 Thou haſt made vs a ſtrife vnto our neyghbours, and our enemies laughe at vs among them ſelues.

7 f Turne vs againe, O God of hoſtes: cause thy face to ſhine, and we ſhalbe faued.

8 Thou haſt brought a vine out of Egypt: thou haſt caſt out the heathen, and planted it.

9 Thou madeſt roume for it, & didſeſt cause it to take roote, and it filled the land.

10 The mountaines were couered with the shadowe of it, and the boughes thereof were like the goodly ceders.

11 She ſtretched out her branches vnto the Sea, and her boughes vnto the h Riuer.

12 Why haſt thou then broken downe her hedges, that all they, which paffe by the waye, haue plucked her?

13 The wilde i bore out of the wood hath deſtroyed it, and the wilde beaſtes of the fielde haue eaten it vp.

14 Returne we beſeeche thee, O God of hoſtes: looke downe k from heauen and beholde and viſite this vine,

15 And the vineyarde, that thy right hande hath planted, and the yong vine, which thou madeſt l ſtrong for thy ſelſe.

17 Let thine hand be vpon the man of thy right hande, and vpon the ſonne of man, whoine thou madeſt ſtrong for thine owne ſelſe.

Morning

1 B Owe downe thine eare, O Lord, and
heare me: ſo; I am poore, and in miſe-
rie.

2 Pleruene thou my ſoule, for I am holy: my
God faue thy ſeruant that putteth his truſt
in thee.

3 Be merciſull vnto me, D Lo: ſo; I will call daily vpon thee.

4 Comfort the ſoule of thy ſeruant: ſo: vnto
thee (D Lo) do I lift vp my ſoule.

5 For thou, Lord, art good and gracious; and
of great mercie vnto all them that call vpon
thee.

6 Giue eare Lord vnto my praier : and pon-
der the boyle of mine humble deſires.

7 In the time of my trouble I will call vpon
thee: for thou heareſt me.

8 Among the goddes there is none like vnto
thee (D Lo: de;) there is not one that can
do as thou doſest.

9 All nations whom thou haſt made, shall
come and wo:hip thee, D Lo: d: and shall
gloriſe thy name.

10 ſo: thou art great, and doſt wonderous
things: thou art God alone.

11 Teach me thy way (D Lo) and I will
walke in thy trueth: D knit my heart vnto
thee, that I may keare thy name.

12 I wil thanke thee, D Lo: my God, with
all my heart: and wil piaſe thy name ſo: e-
thermoe.

13 ſo: great is thy mercie towarde me: and
thou haſt delivered my ſoule from the ne-
thermoſt hell.

14 O God, the proude are rſen against me:
and the congregations of noughtie men
haue found after my ſoule, and haue not ſet
thee before their eyes.

15 But thou (D Lord God) art full of com-
paſſion and mercie: long luffering, plente-
ous in goodnes and trueth.

16 O turne thee then vnto me, and haue mer-
cie vpon me: giue thy strength vnto thy ſer-
uant, & helpe the ſonne of thine handmaide.

17 Shew some good token vpon me: ſo: good,
that they which hate me may ſee it, and be
ahamed : because thou Lo: hast holpen
me, and comforſed me.

10 Mercie and trueth shall meete: righteouines
and peace shall kiffe one another.

11 s Trueth shall bud out of the earth, and righ-
teouines shall looke downe from heauen.

12 Yea, the Lord shall giue good things, and our
lande shall giue her increase.

13 h Righteouines shall go before him, and shall
fether steppes in the way.

3 Be merciful vnto rne, O Lord: for I crie vpon
thee continually.

4 Reioyce the ſoule of thy ſeruant: for vnto thee,
O Lord, do I lift vp my ſoule.

5 For thou, Lord, art good and d merciſull, and
of great kindnes vnto all them, that call vpon
thee.

6 Giue eare, Lord, vnto my praier, and e hearken

7 In the day of my trouble I will call vpon thee:
for thou heareſt me.

8 Among the gods there is none like thee, O
Lord, and there f is none that can do like thy

9 All nations, whom thou haſt made, ſhal come
and s wortship before thee, O Lord, and ſhal
gloriſe thy Name.

10 For thou art great and doſt wonderous
things: thou art God alone.

11 h Teach me thy way, O Lord, and I wil walke
in thy trueth: knit mine heart vnto thee, that
I may feare thy Name.

12 I wil priaſe thee, O Lord my God, with al mine
heart: yea, I wil gloriſe thy Name for euer.

13 For great is thy mercie towarde mee, and
thou haſt deliuered my ſoule from i the lowe ſelt
graeue.

14 O God, the proude are rſen against me, and
the asſembles of violent men haue k ſought
my ſoule, and haue not ſet thee before them.

15 But thou, O Lord, art a pitiful God and mer-
ciſull, flowe to anger and great in kindnes and
trueth.

16 Turne vnto me, and haue mercie vpon me:
giue thy strength vnto thy ſeruant, and faue
the l ſonne of thine handmaide.

17 Shew a token of thy goodnes towarde mee,
that they which hate me, may ſee it, and bee

Holic one, and ſaideſt, I haue layed helpe vpon
one that is t mightie: I haue exalted one cho-

20 I haue found David my ſeruant : with mine
holie oyle haue I anointed him.

21 Therefore mine hande ſhalbe eſtabliſhed
with him, and mine arme ſhal ſtrengthen him.

22 The enemie ſhall not oppreſſe him, neither
ſhall the wicked hurt him.

23 But I will f destroye his foes before his face,
and plague them that hate him.

24 My trueth alſo and my ſ mercie ſhalbe with
him, and in my Name ſhall his u horne be ex-
alted.

25 I will ſet his hand alſo in the ſea, and his right
hand in the x floods.

26 He ſhall erie vnto me, Thou art my y Father,
my God and the rocke of my faluation.

27 Alſo I will make him my firſt borne, higher
then the Kings of the earth.

28 My mercie will I keepe for him for euer-
more, & my couenant ſhal ſtand ſaſt with him.

29 His ſeede alſo wil I make to endure z for euer-
and his throne as the daies of heauen.

30 But if his children forſake my lawe, & walke
not in my iudgements:

31 * If they brake my ſtatures, and keepe not
my commandements :

32 Then wil I viſite their tranſſeg ſion with the
rod, and their iniquitie with ſtrokes.

33 a Yet my louing kindnes will I not take from
him, neither wil I falſiſe my trueth.

34 My couenant will I not breake, nor alter the
thing that is gone out of my lippes.

35 I haue ſworne once by mine holines, † that I
will not fayle David, ſaying,

36 His ſeede shall endure for euer, & his throne
ſhalbe as the ſunne before me.

37 He ſhalbe eſtabliſhed for euermore as the
moone, and as a faithfull c witnes in the hea-
uen, Selah.

38 But thou haſt reieſted and abhorred, thou
haſt bene angrie with thine Anointed.

39 Thou haſt d broken the couenant of thy ſer-
uant, and profaned his c crowne, caſting it on
the ground.

40 Thou haſt broken downe all his walles: thou
haſt layed his forſtreſſes in ruine.

41 Al that go by the way, ſpoyle him : he is a re-
buke vnto his neighbours.

42 Thou haſt ſet vp the right hande of his
enemies, and made all his aduerſaries to re-
ioyce.

43 Thou haſt alſo turned the edge of his
ſworde, and haſt not made him to ſtand in the
battell.

44 Thou haſt cauſed his dignitie to decaye, and
caſt his throne to the ground.

45 The dayes of his ſ youth haſt thou ſhor-
tened, and couered him with ſhame. Selah.

46 Lord, how long wilt thou hide thy ſelſe, for
euer ? shall thy wrath burne like fire ?

47 Remember h of what time I am : wherefore

20 Thou spak'st: sometime in vifions vnto
thy Sainſtes, and ſay德: I haue laide helpe
vpon one that is mightie, I haue exalted
one choſen out of the people.

21 I haue found David my ſeruant : with
my holie oyle haue I anointed him.

22 My hande shall holde him ſaſt: and my
arme shall ſtrengthen him.

23 The enemie ſhal not be able to do him viſ-
lence: the ſonne of wickednes ſhal not hurt
him.

24 I ſhall ſmite downe his foes before his
face: and plague them that hate him.

25 My trueth alſo and my mercie ſhalbe with
him: and in my name ſhall his home be ex-
alted.

26 I will ſet his dominion alſo in the ſea: and
his right land in the floods.

27 He ſhall call me, thou art my father: my
God, and my strong faluation.

28 And I will make him my firſt borne: higher
then the Kings of the earth.

29 My mercp will I keepe ſor him ſor euera-
more: and my couenant ſhal ſtand ſaſt with
him.

30 His ſeede alſo wil I make to endure ſor e-
uer: and his thone as the dayes of heauen.

31 But if his chilſen ſoſake my lawe: and
walke not in my iudgements.

32 If they brake my ſtatures, and keepe not
my commandements: I will viſite their
offences with the rod, and their ſunne with
ſcourges.

33 Neuertheleſſe, my louing kindnes will I
not betterly take from him: noſ suffer my
trueth to kappe.

34 My couenant will I not breake, nor alter
the thing that is gone out of my lippes: I
haue ſwoone once by my holines that I wil
not faile David.

35 His ſeede shall endure ſo: euer: and his
leat is like as the ſunne before me.

36 He ſhall ſtand ſaſt for euermore as the
moone : and as the faithfull witnes in
heauen.

37 But thou haſt abhorred and ſoſaken thine
anointed: and art diſpleaſed at him.

38 Thou haſt broken the couenant of thy ſer-
uant: and caſt his crowne to the grounde.

39 Thou haſt ouerthowne all his hedges: a
broken downe his ſtrong holdeſ.

40 All they that go by, ſpoyle him: and he is
become a rebuke to his neighbours.

41 Thou haſt ſet vp the right hande of his eſ-
nemies: and made all his aduerſaries to
reioyce.

42 Thou haſt taken away the edge of his
ſworde: and giueth him not victorie in the
battayle.

43 Thou haſt put out his gloie: and caſt his
thone downe to the grounde.

44 The dayes of his youth haſt thou hoſte-
ned: and couered him with diſhonour.

2 Before the mountains were brought forth, or euer the earth and the world were made: thou art God from euerlasting, and world without end.

3 Thou turnest man to destruction: againe

6 In the morning it is Greene, and groweth

7 For we are consumed by thine anger, and by

8 Thou haſt ſet our iniquities before thee, and
our ſecret finnes in the light of thy counte-

9 For when thou art angrie, all our daies are
gone: we bring our peres to an end, as it
were a tale that is tode.

10 The daies of our age are threeſcore yeres

they come to ſouereſcore yeres: yet is their
ſtrength then but labour and ſoowe, ſo

11 But who regardeth the power of thy wath:
for euen thereafter as a man feareth, ſo is

12 I teach vs to number our daies: that we
may apply our hearts vnto wurdome.

13 Turne thee againe (D Lord) at the laſt:
and be gracious vnto thy ſeruants.

14 I fatiſſe vs with thy mercie, and that
loone: ſo ſhall we reioyce and be glad at the

15 Comfort vs againe now after the time
that thou haſt plaqued vs; and for the peres

ſhouſſed thou create in vaine all the children

48 What man liueth, and shall not fee death?
shall he deliuer his ſoule from the hand of the

49 Lord, where are thy former mercies, which
thou ſwareſt vnto David in thy trueth?

50 Remember, O Lord, the rebuke of thy ſer-
uants, which I beare in my boſome of all the
mightie people.

51 For k thine ememiſt's haue reproch'd thee,
O Lord, because they haue reproch'd the
footsteps of thine Anointed.

by the perpetual decree that it cannot paffe
it, and though the wanes thereof rage, yet
can they not prieuale, though they roare, yet
can they not paffe ouer it?

23 But this people hath an unfaithful and re-
bellious heart: they are departed a gone.

24 For they sap not in their heart, Let us
now fear the Lord our God, that giueth
raine both early and late in due season: yee
refueth with us the appointed weekes
of the harvest.

25 Yet your iniquities haue turned away
these things, and your finnes haue hingred
good things from you.

26 For among my people are found wicked
persons, that lay waite as he that letteth
innes: they haue made a pit to catch men.

27 As a cage is full of birds, so are their hou-
les full of deceit: thereby they are become
great and waken riche.

28 They are waxen fat and thining: they do
ouerpasse the deeds of the wicked: * they
execute no iudgement, no not the iudgement
of the fatherlesse: yet they *prosper, though
they execute no iudgement for: the poope.

29 Shall I not visite for these things, layth
the Lord ? or shall not my soule be auenged
on such a nation as this?

30 An horrible and filthie thing is committed
in the land.

31 The a Prophets prophetiche lies, and the
Priests" receive giftes in their hands, and
my people delite therein. What will ye then
do in the end thereof?

C H A P. V L

1 The comming of the Anapians and Caldeans. 16 Ye exhorteth the Jews to repentance.

O
be children of a Benjamin, prepare
to flee out of the mids of Jerusalem
and blow the trumpet in b Tekoa: let
bp a standart upon c Beth-haccertem: for
a plague appeareth out of the North & great
destruction.

I have compared the daughter of Zion to
a beautifull and daintie woman.

The pafios with their flocks: * shall come
unto her: they shall pitch their tents round
about by her, and euerie one shall feede in
his place.

Prepare warre against her: arise, and let
us go bp toward the South: wo unto vs:
for the day declineth, and the shadowes of
the evening are stretched out.

A rise, and let us go bp by night, & destrope
her palaces.

For thus hath the Lord of hoffes faide,
He we alone wood, and cast a mount a-
gainst Jerusalem: this citie must be visited:
all oppreſſion is in the middes of it.

As the fountaine casteth out her waters,
to the casteth out her malice: s crueltie and
people is continually heard in her before me
with sozowe and strokes.

Be thou instructed, d Jerusalem, left my
soule depart from thee, left I make thee de-
folate as a land, that none inhabiteth.

9 Thus faith the Lord of hoffes, They shall
gather as a vine, y residue of Israel: turne
backe thine hande as the grape gatherer
into the baskets.

10 Unto whome shall I speake, and admo-
nish that they may heare ? beholde, their
eares are k uncircumciled, and they cannot
hearken: beholde, the word of the Lord is
unto them as a repтоche: they haue no de-
lite in it.

11 Therefore I am full of the wrath of the
Lord: I am wearie with holding it: I wil
powre it out upon the m children in y street,
and likewise upon the assemblie of the yong
men: for the husband shall even be taken
with the wife, and the aged with him that
is full of dayes.

12 And their houses with their landes, and
winnes also shall be turned into strangers:
for I wil stretch out mine hande upon the
inhabitants of the land, faith the Lord.

13 Fo: from the leaſt of them, euen into the
greatest of them, euery one is giuen unto
coutousnes, and from the Prophet euen
unto the Prieſt, they all deale falſely.

14 They haue healed also the hurt of the
daughter of my people with SWEETE words,
saying, a Peace, peace, when there is no
peace.

15 Were they aſhamed when they had com-
mitted abomination ? nay, they were not
aſhamed, no neither could they haue anie
ſhame: therefore they shall fall among the
‡ ſlaine: when I shall viſite them, they shall
be cast downe, faith the Lord.

16 Thus faith the Lord. Stand in the waies
and beholde, and alke for the olde waye,
which is the good way and walke therein,
and ye shall finde rest for your soules : but
they said, We wil not walke therein.

17 Allo I ſet P watchmen ouer you, which
ſaid, Take heed to the ſound of the trumpet:
but they ſaid, We wil not take heede.

18 Heare therefore, ye Gentiles, and thou
Congregation knowe, what is auong
them.

19 Heare, O earth, beholde, I will cause a
plague to come upon this people, euen the
fruite of their owne imaginations: because
they haue not taken heede unto my words,
n0: to my lawe, but cast it of.

20 To what purpose bringest thou me in-
cense from Sheba, & SWEETE calamus from
a farre countrey? your burnt offerings are
not pleafant, nor your sacriſices SWEETE in-
to me.

21 Therefore thus faith the Lord. Beholde, I
will lay stumbling blocks before this people,
and the fathers and the sonnes together
shall fall upon them: the neighbour and his
friend shall perily.

22 Thus faith the Lord, Beholde, a people
commeth from the North countrey, and a
great nation shall arise from the ſides of the
earth.

23 With bowe and shield shall they be wea-
poned:

Be therefore the Lord plo-

1 The words that came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying,

Stand in the gate of the Lords house and crieth this word there, and say, Heare the word of the Lord, al ye of Judah that enter in at these gates to worship the Lord.

Thus faith the Lord of hostes, the God of Israel, *Amend your wares & your works, and I will let you dwell in this place.

Trust not in lying wordes, saying, The Temple of the Lord, The Temple of the Lord: this is the Temple of the Lord.

For, if you amend and redresse your wayes and your works: if you execute judgement betweene a man and his neighbour,

And oppresse not the stranger, the fatherles and the widow and shed no innocent blood in this place, neither walke after other gods to your destruction,

Then will I let you dwell in this place in the land that I gaue vnto your fathers, for ever and ever.

Behold, you trust in lying wordes, that can not pionite.

Will you steal, murder, and commit adulterie and keare falsely and burne incense vnto Baal, a walke after other gods who ye knowe not?

And come and stand before me in this House, whereupon my Name is called, and say, We are delivered, though we haue done all these abominations?

Is this house become a den of theeues, whereupon my Name is called before your eyes? beholde, even I see it, faith the Lord.

### Note

Chap. 26:13.

a Belkeve not the faile pious, which say that for the Temples sake, & the sacrifices there, the koyd will prieferie you, and to noynieth you in your time, & bame confiske, dence,

b God the weath on what conside he made his piontes to this Temple: that they should be an hol people vnto Jun, as he would be a faithful God to them.

c As theeues hid in holes, & demes, thinke themselves faile, so when you are in my Temple, you thinke to be couered with the holines thereof, & that I can not be your wickednes, Mar. 21, 33.

12 But go ye now vnto my place which was in Shilo, d where I let my Name at the beginning, and beholde, what I did to it: so the wickednes of my people Israel.

13 Therefore now because ye haue done all these workes, faith the Lord, (and I took vp early and take vnto you : but when I take, ye would not heare me, neither wher I called, would ye answer?

14 Therefore will I do vnto this House, whereupon my Name is called, wherein also ye trust, euen vnto y place that I gaue to you and to your fathers, as I haue done vnto Shilo.

15 And I will cast you out of my sight, as I have cast out all your children, euen the whole seede of Ephraim.

16 Therefore thou hait not h apy for this people, neither lift vp cry or prierie for them neither intreat me, for I will not heare thee.

17 Seeeth thou now, what they do in the cities of Judah and in the streetes of Jerusalem?

18 The children gather wood, and the father's kindle the fire, and the women knede the dough to make cakes to the Queen of heauen and to purwze out drinke offerings vnto other gods, that they may prouok me vnto anger.

19 Do they prouok me to anger, faith the Lord, and not themselves to the confusion of their owne faces?

20 Therefore thus faith the Lord God, Beholde, mine anger & my wrath halbe powred vpon this place, vpon man and vpon beast, and vpon the tree of the field and vpon the fruit of the ground, and it shall burne and not be quenched.

21 Thus faith the Lord of hostes, the God of Israel, Put your burnt offerings vnto your sacrifices, and eat the flesh.

22 For I take not vnto your fathers, no: commanded them, when I brought them out of the lande of Egypt, concerning burnt offerings and sacrifices.

23 But this thing commanded I them, lay ing, Obey my boye, & I will be your God, and ye halbe my people: and walke ye in all the wayes which I haue commanded you, that it may be wel vnto you.

24 But they would not obey, nor incline their care, but went after the counsels and the stubbernes of their wicked heart, and went backe warde and not forward. Note

25 Since the day that your fathers came vpon out of the lande of Egypt, vnto this day, I haue euen sent vnto you al my SERVANTS the Diophters, m riving vp early every day, and lending them.

26 Yet would they not heare me nor encline their eare, but hardened their necke, and did wole then their fathers.

27 Therefore hait thou speake al these words vnto them, but they will not heare thee: thou hait also erie vnto them, but they will not answere thee.

7 Even the ſtoſke in the aſre knoweth her appointed times, and the turtle a the crane and the swallowe obſerue the time of their coming, but my people knoweth not the e judgement of the Lord.

8 How do ye ſay, we are wife, and the Law of the Lord is with vs? Lo, certainly in baine made he it, the pen of the ſcribes is in baine.

9 The s wife m are alhamed: they are afraid and taken. Lo, they haue reiected the word of the Lord, and what wildome is in them?

10 Therefore wil I give their wuies into otheſers, and their fields to them that ſhal poffeſſe them : * for euery one from the least euen into the greatest is giuen to cometouness, and from one dealeth falſely.

11 For they haue healed the hurt of the Daugh-
ter of my people with sweet words, ſaying,
h Peace, peace, when there is no peace.

12 Were they alhamed when they had com-
mitted abomination? nay, they were not a-
shamed, neither could they haue any name:
therefore shall they fall among the ſlaine
when J shall viſite them, they shall be caſt
downe, faith the Lord.

13 I wil surely conſume them, faith the Lord:
there ſhal be no grapes on the vigne, no figs
on the agge tree, and the leake ſhal fade,
the things that I haue giuen them, ſhal de-
part from them.

14 Whoth we ſtay ? assemble your ſelues,
let us enter into the strong cities, and let us

15 We looked for peace, but no good came, & for a time of health, and beholde troubles.

17 For behold, I will m send ſerpents, and coe-

19 Behold, the boſce of the crie of the Daugh-

20 The harvest is paff, the former is ended

Ieremiah.

The true ioye.

### CHAP. IX.

The complaint of the Prophet for the malice of the people. 24 In the knowledge of God ought we only to reiope. 26 The vncircumcision of the heart.

O that mine head were full of water and mine eyes a fountain of teares, that I might weeepe day & night for the flame of the daughter of my people.

Oh, that I had in the wildernes a cottage of wayfaring men, that I might leave my people, and go from them : for they be all adulterers and an assemblie of rebels, And they bende their tongues like their bowes for lies: but they haue no courage for the truthu upon the earth: for they precede from euil to worse, and they haue not knowne me, saith the Lord.

Let every one take heede of his neighbour, and trust you not in any brother: for every brother will be deceite, and euery friende will deale deceitfully,

And every one will deceive his friend, and will not speake the trueth : for they haue taught their tongues to speake lies, & take great paines to do wickedly.

Thine habitation is in the middes of deceivers; s because of their deceite they refuse to know me, saith the Lord.

Therefore thus saith the Lord of hostes, Beholde, I wilth melt them, and trie them: for what should Iels do for the daughter of my people?

Their tongue * is as an arrowe shot out, and speaketh deceit: one speaketh peaceably to his neighbour with his mouth, but in his heart he layeth wait for him.

Shall I not v dilte them for these things, faith the Lord ? or shall not my soule be aduenged on such a nation as this?

Upon the mountains wil I take vp a weeping and a lamentation, and vpon the faire places of the wildernes a mourning, because they are burnt vp: so that none can passe through them, neither can men heare the voce of the flocke: both the soule of the aire, and the beast are fled away and gone.

And I wil make Jerusalem an heape, and a den of dragons, and I wil make the cities of Judah walfe, without an inhabitant.

Who is k wife, to understand this, and to whom the mouth of the Lord hath spoken, euen he shall declare it. Why doth the land perish, & is burnt vp like a wildernes, that none pafleth through?

And the Lord faith, Because they haue for taken my Law, which I let before them, and haue not obeyed my voice, neither walfed thereafter,

But haue walked after the stubbernes of their owne heart, & after Baalims, which their fathers taught them,

Therefore thus saith the Lord of hostes, the God of Israel, Behold, I wil feede this people with wormwood, and give them waters of gal to drink:

I wil scatter them also among the heathen,

whome neither they no their fathers haue knownen, and I wil send a kword after the, til I haue consumed them.

Thus faith the Lord of hostes, Take heed, and call for: the mourning women, that they may come, and send for: skilfull women that they may come,

And let them make haſte, & let them take by a lamentation for vs, that our eyes may cast out teares and our epe liddes gush out of water.

A lamentable noie is heard out of Zion, How are we destroyed, and utterly confounded, for we haue for taken the land, and our dwellings for we haue cast out.

Therefore heare the word of the Lord, O ye women, and let your eares regarde the words of his mouth, & teach your daughters to mourne, & euery one her neighbour to lament.

For death is come into our windows, and is entred into our palaces, to destrope the children without, and the yong men in the streetes.

Speake, thus faith the Lord, The carkeles of men shall lie, euen as the doing vpon the field, and as the handful after the mower, and none shall gather them.

Thus faith the Lord, Let not the wife man glory in his wifiedome, no: the strong man glory in his strength, neither the riche man glory in his riches.

But let him that glorieth, gloze in this, that he understandeth, and knoweth mee: for I am the Lord, which I have mere, judgement, and righteousness in the earth: for in these things I delite, faith the Lord.

Beholde, the dayes come, faith the Lord, that I wil v dilte all them, which are euen cunciled with the uneircumciled:

Egypt and Judah, and Edom, and the children of Ammon, and Moab, and all the most corners of them that dwell in the wildernes: for all these nations are uneircumciled, and al þ house of Israel are uneircumciled in the heart.

The constellations of the starres are not to be feared. The weathers of owles, and of the power of God. 21 Their paltours are done beame beards.

Hare ye the word of the Lord that he speaketh unto you, O house of Israel. Thus faith the Lord, I canne not the way of the heathen, and be not afraid for the *ignes of heauen, though the heathen be afraid of such.

10 They are turned backe to the iniquities of their foſe fathers, which refused to heare my words: and they went after other gods to ſerue them; thus the house of Israel, and the house of Judah have broken my covenant, which I made with their fathers.

11 Therefore thus faith the Lord, Behold, I will bring a plague upon them, which they shall not be able to eſcape, and though they crie unto me, s I will not heare them.

12 Then shall the cities of Judah, and the in-
habitants of Jeruſalem go, and crie unto
the gods unto whom they offer incense, but
they shall not be able to hepe them in time

f Signifying the benefit of their delivrance out of 2 Abp. 1 should be so great, that it should ably the remeins: bance of their delivrance from Egypt: but he hath here chieflie respect to the ritual delivrance under Ciny.

g 2. As for the firs thers and hunters are ment the Vas bylonians & Caldeans, who should deliroy them in such sort, that if they escaped the one, the other should take them.

h That is, their fomnes and daugh ters, which they offered to the Moloch.

i The worship at the great mercie of God in this delivrance, which shall not only extend to the Jews, but also to the Cetiles.

k Our fathers were most vile idolaters: therefore it is meet only of God's mercie, that he be perfectly just and yongers, and hau not vnterly cast

a The remeinescence of their contempt of God cannot paille, al least for a time he be fter the pu nilityment, for it shall be ma nified to men and Angels.

b In fead of the law of God, they have written idolatry and all abominations in their heart.

c Pour dimes appeare in al the altars that you have eres red to holes.

d Some read, So that their children remeber their al tars, that is, follow their fas ters wickedne.

e Tion that was up inom tane, that now he left as a wallie felle.

f Because thou woult not give the land reft at fuch rules, dapes, and yeres as I appointed, then shall hereafter be carried away.

g Children of Israel out of the land of Egypt, 15 But the Lo'de liueth, that brought by the children of Israel f from the lande of the North, and from all the landes where hee had scattered them, and I will bring them agayne into their lande that I gaue unto their fathers.

h Beholde, layth the Lord, I will sende out many f fischers, and they shall fih them, and after will I fende out manie hunters, and they shall hunt them from euery mountaine and from euery hill, and out of the caues of the rockes.

i For mine eyes are upon all their wayes: they are not hid from my face, nepther is their iniquitie hid from mine eyes.

j And first I wil recompence their iniquitie and their fime double, because they have defiled my lande, and have filled mine inhe ritance with their filth 1 carions and their abominations.

k D. Lord, thou art my force, & my strength and my refuge in the day of affliction: the Cetiles shall come vnto thee from the ends of the worlde, and shall lay, Surely our fa thers have inherited 4 lies, & vanitie, where in there was no profite.

l Shall a man make gods vnto himselfe, & they are no gods?

1 The frowardnes of the JEWES. 5 Curled be that of þe that put their cons fidence in man. 2 Mans heart is wicked. 10 God is the searcher of the heart. 13 The living waters are forfaken. 21 The right keeping of the Sabbath commanded.

T he linne of Judah is a written with a penne of yon, and with the point of a diamonde, & grauen vpon the b table of their heart, and vpon the homes of your c altars.

d They remember their altars as their chil dren, with their groves by the greene trees vpon the hie hilles.

e D my mountaine in the fielde, I wil give thy substance, & all thy treasures to be lpy led, for the linne of thy high places through ouf all the hozders.

f And thou shall reft, and in thee shall be a reft from thine heritage that I gaue thee, and I will cause thee to ferue thine enemies in the land, which thou knowest not: for ye have kindled a fire in mine anger, which shall burne for euer.

g Thus layth the Lo'de, 6 Curled be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh fely his arme, and withdaweth his heart from the Lord.

h For he shall be like the heath in the wilder nes, & shall not fee when any good cometh, but shall inhabite the parched places in the wildernes, in a salt land, & not inhabited.

i Blessed be the man, that trusteth in the Lord, and whole hope the Lord is.

j For he falbe as a tree that is planted by the water, which fpeadeth out her rootes by the riuer, and shall not feele when the heat commeth, but her leafe falbe Greene, and shall not care for the yeere of Dought, neither shall cease from peeling fruites.

k The heart is deceitfull and wicked aboue all things, who can know it?

l If the Lo'de search the heart, and teye the repnes, euen to give euery man according to his wayes, and according to the fruite of his workes.

m As the partriche gathereth the yög, which shee hath not brought forth: so he that geth et riches, and not by ryght, shall leave them in the middes of his dayes, and at his ende falbe a foolde.

n As a glousous thione 1 eralted from the beginning, so is the place of our Sanctuary.

o D. Lord, the hope of Israel, all that foſake thee, shall be confounded: they that depart from thee, falbe written 3 in the earth, because they have forſaken the Lord, the foſ taine of liuing waters.

p Heale me, D. Lo'de, and I falbe whole: 4 ſaue mee, and I ſhalbe ſaued: for thou art my papele.

q Beholde, o they lay vnto me, where is the word of the Lord? let it come nowe.

r But p I have not thjuft in my selfe for 5 a pастour after thee, neither have I defied the daye of nuſerie, thou knowest: that which came out of my lips, was right before thee.

s Be not a terrible vnto mee: thou art mine hope in the day of aduerſitie.

t Let them be confounded, that perſente me, but let not me be confounded: let them be afraide, but let not me be afraide: bring vpon them the day of aduerſitie, f defirop them with double deſtruction.

u Thus hath the Lord said vnto me, Go and stand in the f gate of the children of the peo ple, whereby the Kings of Judah come in, and by the which they go out, and in all the gates of Jerusalem,

v And lay vnto them, Heare the word of the Lo'de, ye Kings of Judah, and all Judah, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, that enter in by theſe gates.

w Thus layth the Lord, Take heede to your ſoules, and beare no burden in the Sab bath day, nor bring it in by the gates of Je rusalem.

x Neither carp fooſth burdens out of your houses in the Sabbath daye: neither do ye any worke, but ſanctifie the Sabbath, as I commanded your fathers.

y But they obeyed not, neither inclined their eares, but made their neekes stiffe 5 would not beare, nor receive correction.

tie the Sabbath day, so that ye do no work
therein,

25 Then shall the Kings and the Princes en-
ter in at the gates of this citie, and shall fit
* upon the thone of David, and shall ryde
upon charrels, and upon hozes, both they
and their princes, the men of Judah, and
the inhabitants of Jeruſalem: and this ci-
tie ſhal remayne ſor euern.

26 And they shall come from the cities of Ju-
dah, and from about Jeruſalem, and from
the land of Benjamin, and from the plaine,
and from the mountaynes, and from the
South, which shall bring burnt offrings, &
sacrifices, and meate offrings, and incense,
and shall bring sacrifice of prayſe into the
Houſe of the Lord.

27 But if ye will not heare me to ſanctifie the Sabbath day, a not to beare a burden no: to goe through the gates of Jeruſalſe in the Sabbath Daze, then will I kindle a fire in the gates thereof, a it ſhal devour the pala-ces of Jeruſalem, a it ſhal not be quenched.

CHAP. XVII.

1 God heereunto he the example of a potter, that it is in his power to de-
ſop the defilers of his word. 18 The contriſacle of the Jewes as
gainſt Jeruſalem. 19 His prier against his abuſaries.

1 The word which came to Jeruſalem
from the Lord, ſaying,

2 A priſe, a go down into potters houſe,
and there ſhal I heew thee my wordes.

3 Then I went downe to the potters houſe,
and beholde, hee wought a wozke on the
wheelers.

4 And the beſſel that he made of a claye, was broken in the hand of the potter. so he returned, and made it another beſſell, as seemed good to the potter to make it.

5 Then the word of the Loſde came vnto
me, ſaying,

6 O houſe of Israel, cannot I do with you as
this potter, ſayth the Lord? behold, as the
clape is in the potters hande, so are you in
mine hand, O houſe of Israel.

7 I will speake lodeinly agaynſt a nation or
against a kiingdome to plucke it vp, and to
toote it out and to destroy it.

8 But if this nation, against whom I haue
pronounced, turne from their wickednes,
I will be ſtrepent of the plague that I thought
to bring upon them.

9 And I will speake lodeinly concerning a
nation, concerning a kingdome to buylde
it and to plant it.

10 But if it do euill in my ſight and heare not
my boyc, I will repent the good that I
thought to do ſor them.

11 Speake thou now therefore vnto the men
of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jeruſa-
lem, ſaying, Thus ſayth the Lord, Behold,
I prepare a plague for you, and purpose a
tying against you: returne you therefore eu-
ery one from his euil way, and make your
wayes and your workes good.

12 But they ſaid desperatly, Surely we will
walke after our owne imaginations, and

do euery man after the cluβburnnes of his
wicked heart.

13 Therefore thus ſayth the Lord, Ake rowe
among the heathen, who hath heard euch
things: the virgine of Israel hath done be-
ry filthily.

14 Will a man forſake the Snow of Lebanon,
which commeth from the rocke of the field?
or is it the cold flowing waters, that come
from another place, be forſaken?

15 Because my people hath forſotten me, and
haue burnt incenſe to banitie, and their Pro-
phers haue rauled them to ſtumble in their
wayes from the ancient wayes, to walke
in the paths and way that is not troden,

16 To make their land defolate & a perpetual
derision, to that euery one that paffeth ther-
by, ſhalbe aſtoniſhed and wagge his head,

17 I ſhall ſtatter them with an Eaſt wnde
before the enemie: I will ſhewe them the
backe, and not the face in the dape of their
destruction.

18 Then ſayde they, Come, and let vs ima-
gine some deuice against Jeremiah: for the
Lameſs shall not perſish from the Drieſt, no:
counſell from the wife, nor the wordc from
the Prophet: come, a let vs ſmite him with
the h tongue, and let vs not gine heede to a:
up of his wordes.

19 Heareken vnto me, O Loſde, and heare the
boyc of them that contend with me.

20 Shall euill be recompenſed for good? for
they haue dygged a pitte for my ſoule: re-
member that I stood before thee, to speake
good for them, & to turne away thy wath
from them.

21 Therefore, I deliuer vp their childen to
famine, and let them dioppe away by the
foſce of the word, and let their wines be
robbed of their childen, and be widowes:
and let their huſbandes be put to death, and
let their yong men be ſlayne by the word
in the battel.

22 Let the crye be heard from their houſes,
when thou ſhalt bring an hoſte lodeuny bp
them: for they haue digged a pit to take me,
and hid hares ſor my feete.

23 Det Loſde thou knowe all their counſel
against mee, t: endeth to death : forgiue not
their iniquitie, nepther put out their ſime
from thy light, but let them be ouerthow
to before thee : Deale thus with them in the
time of thine anger.

13 And I have seen foolishnesse in the Prophets of Samaria, that prophesied in Baal and caused my people Israel to erre.

14 I have seene alio in the Prophletes of Jerusalem filthines: theye committ adulterie and walke in lies: theye strengthen alio the hands of ò wicked that none can returne from his wickednes: theye are all into me as Sodom, and the inhabitants thereof as Gomorrah.

15 Therefore thus sayth the Loode of hostes concerning the prophetes, Beholde, I will feede them with woznewood, and make them drinke the water of gall: for from the Prophets of Jerusalem is wickednes gone forth into all the land.

16 Thus sayth the Lord of hostes, Heare not the wordes of the prophets that prophesie unto you, to teache you banitie: theye speake the vifion of their owne heart and not out of the mouth of the Lord.

17 They say still into them that despise mee, The Lord hath said, He shall haue peace: and theye say unto every one that walketh after the stubburnes of his owne heart, No eull shall come vpon you.

18 For who hathe stande in the counsell of the Lord that he hathe perceived and heard his word who hath marked his word and heard it?

19 Behold, the tempest of LORD goeth forth in his wath, and a violent whirlwind shall fall downe upon the head of the wicked.

20 The anger of the Loode shall not returne but till he haue executed, and til he haue per-fourmed the thoughtes of his heart: in the latter dayes ye shall underkäd it plainly.

21 * I have not sent these prophets, sayth the Lord, yet theye ranne: I haue not spoken to them, and yet theye prophesied.

22 But if they had stande in my counsell, and had declared my words to my people, then they shoulde haue turned them from their euill way, and from the wickednes of their inventions.

23 Am I a God at hande, sayth the Lord, and not a God farre of?

24 Can any hyde him selfe in secrete places, that I shall not see him, sayeth the Loode? Do not I fill heauen and earth, sayeth the Loode?

25 I have heard what the prophets laid, that prophesie lies in my Name, saying, I have dreamed, I have dreamed.

26 Howe long? Do the Prophletes delite to prophesie lies, euen prophesying the decede of their owne heart?

27 Thinke they to cause my people to forget my Name by their dreames, which they tel euery man to his neighbour, as their forefathers have forgottè my Name for Baal?

28 The Prophet that hath a dreame, let him tell a dreame, and he that hath my word, let him speake my word faithfully: what is the chaffe to the wheate, sayeth the Loode?

29 Is not my word even like a fire, sayth the Loode? and like an hammer, that breaketh the stone?

30 Therefore behold, I will come against the Prophets, faith the Loode, that I steale my word euery one from his neighbour.

31 Behold, I will come against the Prophets, faith the Lord, which haue sweet tongues, and say, I be sayth.

32 Behold, I will come against them that prophesie false dreames, sayth the Loode, and do tell them, and cause my people to erre by their lies, and by their slatteries, and I lent them not, nor commanded them: therefore they bring no profite into this people, sayth the Loode.

33 And when this people, or the Prophet, or a Drief shall aske thee, sayth, what is the burden of the Loode? thou shall then saye into them, no hat burden? I will euen so-ke you, sayth the Lord.

34 And the Prophet, or the Drief, or the people that shall say, The burden of the Lord, I will euen vistue euery such one, and his house.

35 Thus shall ye saye euery one to his neighbour, and euery one to his brother, no hat hath the Loode answere? and what hath the Lord spoken?

36 And the burden of the Loode shall pe- men-cion no more: for euery man a worde shall be his burden: for ye haue perverted the words of the living God, the Lord of hostes our God.

37 Thus shall thou say to the Prophet, no hat hath the Loode answere thee? and what hath the Lord spoken?

38 And if you saye, The burden of the Loode, Then thus sayth the Loode, Because ye say this word, The burden of the Loode, and I haue sent into you, saying, I shall not say, The burden of the Lord,

39 Therefore beholde, I, euen I will utterly forget you, and I will soke you, and the citie that I gaue you and your fathers, and cast you out of my presence,

40 And will bring an euerlaking repreche upon you, and a perpetuall chame which shall neuer be forgotten.

CHAP. XXIII.

1 The will of the館ers of figges is Significeth that parte of the people they should be brought againe from captivity. 2 And that Redesha and the rest of the people they should be carried away.

3 The Lord shewed me, and behold, two baskets of figges were let before the Temple of the Lord, after that Jéboachad-nezzar King of Babel had carved a way captive Jécomiah the sonne of Jehosharim King of Judah, the princes of Judah with the worckement, and cumning men of Jerusalem, a had brought them to Babel. One basket had very good figges, euen like the figges that are first ripe: and the other basket had very naughtie figges, which could not be eaten, they were so euill.

3 Then sayd the Loode into mee, What seeth thou, Jeremiah? And I sayd, figges: the Ggg.i. good

2 Which set forth my name that which I have not continued deb.

3 To wit, the Loode.

b The Prophets called their threats and wishes God burden, which the sinners were not able to continue: therefore the wicked in beruing the Lord were not able to escape the punishment of the prophets, what was the burden: a though they were to be punished, but to be punished, then they were to be punished of God, as a greenone burd.

b Because this word was brought to contempt and derision, he will teacheth another man of speatch, and will cause the word to be spoken to cease, and teach them to aske with respect, what God shall be the Lord?

3 The ching which they make and continue, shall come upon them.

3 Or, take you away, Chap. 20, 11.

3 The god figges signifiqueth them that were gone into captiure, and so faued their life, as Chap. 21, 8, 9 The naughtie figges that remained which were put into the word, faa-mune and peace.

1 For there were two cities in the land, the one called Plentys, and the other Baren, in the desert.
2 Or, Perija.

3 That is, in the desert, as in chapter 51:1-11.

4 That is, in the desert, read chapter 11:12.

5 Is it so, and so?

Chap. 19:23.

6 Then which are they at the LORDS APPEALMENT.

7 That are there, and whom are they?

8 Which are not really broken, but broken, and whom are they broken to?

9 And, peaceable.

36 A boyce of the crve of the shepheards, and an howling of the principall of the flocke shall be heard : for; the Loode hath destroyed their pasture.

37 And the best pastures are destroyed because of the wath and indignation of the Lord.

38 He hath forfaken his couert, as the Lyon : for; their land is wafle, because of the wath of the oppreſſor, and because of the wath of his indignation.

CHAP. XXVL

2 Jeremiah μετὰ τοὺς προεπαντας. 3 He is taken of the false Prophets and Drieſtés, and brought to judgment. 4 Whiſt the Prophet is killed of Jejoakim contrary to the will of God.

24 And all the Kings of Arabia, and all the kings of Arabia, that dwel in the desert,

25 And all the Kings of Zimri, and all the kings of Elam, and all the kings of the Medes,

26 And all the Kings of the North, farre and neere one to another, as all the kingdomes of the wold, which are upon the earth, as the king of Eschach shall drinke after them.

27 Therefore lay thou unto them, Thus layth the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, Drunk and be drunken, and spew and fall, and rouse no more, because of the word, which I will send among you.

28 But if they refuse to take the cuppe at thine hande to drinke, then tell them, Thus layth the Lord of hosts, He shall certainly drinke.

29 For lo, I begin to plague the citie, where my Name is called upon, and houde you go free? He shall not go quite: for I will call for a word upon all the inhabitants of the earth, layth the Lord of hosts.

30 Therefore prophesie thou against them all these wordes, and laye unto them, * The Lord that roare from aboue, and truſt out his boyle from his holyp habitation: he shall roare upon his habitation, and cry aloude, as they that prefle the grapes against al the inhabitants of the earth.

31 The founde shall come to the endes of the earth: for the Lord hath a cötrouerie with the nations, and wil enter into judgement with all ſlend, and he wil give them that are wicked, to the word, layth the Lord.

32 Thus layth the Lord of hosts, Behold, a plague shall go forth from nation to nation, and a great whirlewinde shall be raked up from the coastles of the earth,

33 And the claine of the Loode halbe at that Daye, from one ende of the earth, cuen vnto the other ende of the earth: they shall not be mourned, neither gathered nor buried, but halbe as the dongue upon the ground.

34 Howle, ye shepherds, and crve, and walowe your ſelues in the alſes, ye principall of the flocke: for your daies of ſlaughter are accompliſhed, and of your diſpersion, and ye shall fail like a precious vessels.

35 And the flight shall kayle from the shepheards, and the eſcaping from the principall of the flocke.

38 He hath forſaken his couert, as the Lyon : for; their land is wafle, because of the wath of the oppreſſor, and because of the wath of his indignation.

1 In the beginning of the regne of Je-hoiakim the ſonne of Joliah King of Judah, came this word from the Loode, laying,

2 Thus layth the Lord, Stand in the court of the Lords House, and heake vnto all the cities of Judah, which come to worſhip in the Lords House, all the wordes that I commande thee to heake vnto them: keepe not a word backe,

3 If I be they will hearken, and turne euery man from his euil way, that I may repent mee of the plague, which I haue determined to bring vpon them, because of the wicnednes of their workes.

4 And thou hait lay vnto them, Thus layth the Lord, If ye wil not heare me to walke in my lawes, which I haue let before you, And to heare the wordes of my ſeruaints the Prophets, whom I ſent vnto you, both ruling vp early, and sending them, and wyll not obey them,

5 Then will I make this Houle like a Shiloh, and will make this citie a curle to all the nations of the earth.

6 So the Drieſts, and the Prophets, and all the people heard Jeremiah speaking these wordes in the Houle of the Lord.

7 Nowe when Jeremiah had made an ende of speaking all that the Lord had comman ded him to heake vnto all the people, then the Prieſtes, and the Prophets, and all the people tooke him, and layd, Thou hait dye the death.

9 Why hait thou prophesied in the Name of the Loode, laying, This House halbe like Shiloh, and this citie halbe desolate with oue an inhabitant? and all the people were gathered against Jeremiah in the Houle of the Loode.

10 And when the princes of Judah heard of these things, they came vp from the Kings house into the House of the Loode, and late downe in the entry of the newe gate of the Lords House.

11 Then spake the Drieſts, and the Prophets vnto the princes, and to all the people, laying, The Loode hath ſent mee to prophesie against this house and against this citie all the things that ye haue heard with your eares.

12 Then spake Jeremiah vnto all the princes, and to all the people, laying, The Loode hath ſent mee to prophesie against this house and against this citie all the things that ye haue heard.

13 Therefore nowe amende your wayes and your workes, and heare the boyle of the Lord your God, that the Lord may repent him of the plague, that he hath pronounced against you.

14 As for me, behold, I am in your hands; do with me as ye thinke good and right.

15 But know ye for certaine, that if ye put me to death, ye shall surely bring innocent blood upon your ſelues, and vpon this citie, and upon the inhabitants thereof: for of a trueth

5 Because of the Dode ymnes to the Temple, Pali. 132:14. that he woule for euere re maine there, the p[ro]prieties thought this Temple could neuer perill, and therefore thought it blafhemiety to heake against it. That, 26:6, 26:7, 26:8, 26:9, 26:10, not considering that this was ment of the Church, where God will re iname for euere. So called, because it was repaid up byATHAN, a King, 15:35.

19 For thus faith the Loode of hostes, conceer- ing the *pillers, and concerning the sea, and concerning the bases, and concerning the residue of the beffels that remayne in this citie,

20 Which Nebuchadnezzar King of Babel tooke not, when he carried *away captive Jeconiah the Sonne of Jeboaiakun King of Judah from Jerusalem to Babel, with all the nobles of Judah and Jerusalem.

21 For thus layeth the Loide of hostes the God of Israel, concerning the beffels that remayne in the house of the Loide, and in the house of the King of Judah, and at Je- rusalem,

22 They shall be brought to Babel, and there they shall be until the day that I visit b them, layth the Lord: then will I bring them by, and reloose them into this place.

CHAP. XXVII.

1 The false prophet of Hananiah, 12 Jeremiah reproueth Hananiah, and his propheteth.

A And that same yeere in the beginning of the a regvne of Zedekiah King of Judah in the b fourth yeere, and in the fifth moneth Hananiah the Sonne of Azur the Prophet, which was of c Gibeon, Ispake to mee in the House of the Loide in the presence of the Priestes, and of all the people, and fayd.

C Thus speaketh the Lord of hostes, the God of Israel, laying, I have broken the yoke of the King of Babel.

D Within two yeeres space I will bring into this place al the beffels of the Lords House, that Nebuchadnezzar King of Babel tooke awaye from this place, and carried them into Babel.

E And if I will bring againe to this place Je- coniah the Sonne of Jeboaiakim King of Ju- dah, with all them that were carried away captive of Judah, went into Babel, faith the Lord: for I will break the yoke of the King of Babel.

F Then the Prophet Jeremiah said into the d Prophet Hananiah in the presence of the Priests, and in the presence of all the people that stode in the House of the Lord.

G Even the Prophet Jeremiah layd, So be it: the e Lord so do, the Loide confirme thy wordes which thou hast prophesied to re- fore the beffels of the Loide's House, and all that is carried captive, from Babel into this place.

H But heare thou now this word that I will speake in thine cares and in the cares of all the people.

I The Prophletes that haue beene before me and before thee in time past, f prophesied against many countreys, and against great kingdoms, of warre, g of plagues,

and of pestilence.

J And h Prophet which prophesieth of peace, when the word of the Prophet shall come to paffe, then shall the Prophet be known that the Lord hath truly sent him.

L Then Hananiah the Prophet tooke the yoke from the Diophete Jeremiah's necke, and s brake it.

M And Hananiah layed in the presence of all the people, laying. Thus faith the Lord, E- uen so wil I break the yoke of Nebuchad- nezzar King of Babel, from the necke of all nations within the space of two yeares: and the Prophet Jeremiah went his way.

N Then the word of the Loide came into Jeremiah the Prophet, (after that Hanani- mah the Diophete had broken the yoke from the necke of the Diophet Jeremiah) laying,

O Go, and tell Hananiah, laying. Thus layth the Loide, Thou hast broken the yokes of wood, but thou shall make so for them yokes of yon.

P For thus faith the Lord of hostes the God of Israel, I have put a h yoke of yon upon the necke of all thee nations, that they may serve Nebuchadnezzar King of Babel: for they shall serve him, and I have given him the beafts of the field also.

Q Then said the Prophet Jeremiah into the Prophet Hananiah, Heare now Hanani- ah, the Loide hath not sent thee, but thou makest this people to trueth in a lie.

R Therefore thus layth the Lord, Behold, I will cast thee from the earth: this yeere thou halt dye, because thou halt spoken re- belliously against the Lord.

S So Hananiah the Prophet k died the same were in the seuenti moneth.

CHAP. XXIX.

1 Jeremiah witcheb unto them that were in captiune in Babylon. 10 He prophesieth their returne after theuenite perees. 16 The prophesieth the defucture of the King and of the people that remaine in Jeru- salalem. 21 He the earthen the prophletes that reduce the people. 23 The death of Semaniah as prophesied.

N O Now there are the words of h * booke that Jeremiah the Prophet sent frô Jerusalem into * the residue of the El- ders which were carried away captives, to the Priests, to the Prophets, to all the people whom Nebuchadnezzar had car- ed away captive frô Jerusalem to Babel: (After that Jeconiah the King, and the b Lucene, and the eunuches, the * princes of Judah, and of Jerusalem, and the work- men, and cumning me were departed from Jerusalem)

P By the hande of Elaiah the Sonne of Sha- phan and Gemariah the Sonne of Hilkiah, (whome Zedekiah King of Judah c sent unto Babel to Nebuchadnezzar King of Babel) laying.

Q To inureate of loue equal conditions. 2. To inure the word of the Lord, whole that the Lord was.

R Thus hath the Loide of hostes the God of Israel broken into al that are carried away captives, whom I haue d caued to be carried away captives frô Jerusalel into Babel: 5 Buy you houses to dwell in, and plant you gardens, and eat the fruits of them.

CHAP. XXXII.

Jeremiah is caſt into pison because he prophesied that the citie should be taken of the King of Abalon, 7, he theweth, that the people should come againe to their owne posſession. 38 The people of God are his ſeruants, and he is their Lord.

1 The word that came vnto Jeremiah from the Lord, in the a tenth yeere of Zedekiah King of Judah, which was the eighteenth yere of Ahebuchad-nezzar.

2 For then the King of Babel hoſte beſied Jeſualem : and Jeremiah the Prophet was thut vp in the court of þ pison, which was in the King of Judahs hoſſe.

3 For Zedekiah King of Judah had thut him vp, laying, wherefore doest thou prophesie, and lay, Thus faith the Lord, * Behold, I will giue this citie into the hands of þ King of Babel, and he shall take it?

4 And Zedekiah the King of Judah shall not escape out of the hand of the Caldeans, but shall surelp be deliuered into the hands of the King of Babel, and shall speake with him mouth to mouth, and his eyes shall be- holde his face,

5 And he shall leade Zedekiah to Babel, and there shall he be, vntil b I visit him, faith the Lord: though ye fight with the Caldeans, ye shall not prosper.

6 And Jeremiah laide, The word of the Lord came vnto me, laying,

7 Behold, Hanameel, the ſonne of Shallum thine uncle, shall come vnto thee and lay, c Bye vnto thee my ſielde, that is in Anathoth: for the " title by kindred appertaineth vnto thee d to bye it.

8 So Hanameel, mine uncles ſonne, came to me in the court of the pison, according to the word of the Lord, and laide vnto me, Bye my e ſielde, I pray thee, that is in Anathoth, which is in the countrey of Beniamin: for the right of the posſession is thine, a the purchase belongeth vnto thee : bye it for thee. Then I knewe that this was þ word of the Lord.

9 And I bought the field of Hanameel, mine uncles ſonne, that was in Anathoth and weigbed him the filuer, euen ſeuers e ſhekins, and ten pieces of filuer.

10 And I wait it in the booke and signed it, and tooke witnesses, and weigbed him the filuer in the balances.

11 So I tooke the booke of the posſession, be-ing lealed as according to the Lawe, and eu-ſome, with the booke that was open,

12 And I gaue the booke of the posſession vnto Baruch the ſonne of Aeriah, the ſonne of Maafiah, in the fight of Hanameel mine uncles ſonne, and in the presence of the wit-

nelles, written in the booke of the posſession, before all the JEWES that late in the court of the pison.

13 And I charged Baruch before the laying,

14 Thus faith the Lord of hoſſes, the God of Israel, Take þ wittings, euen this booke of the posſession, both that is lealed, and this booke that is open, and put them in an ear-then bessel, that they may continue a long time.

15 For the Lord of hoſſes, the God of Jcael faith thus, Houſes and fieldes, a vineyards thalbe posſessed againe in this land.

16 Now when I had delivered the booke of the posſession vnto Baruch, the ſonne of Aeriah, I layed vnto the Lord, laying,

17 Ah Lord God, beholde, thou haſt made the heauen and the earth by thy great pow-er, and by thy stretched out arme, and there is nothing hard vnto thee.

18 *Thou the weſt mercie vnto thousands, are recompenſed the iniquitie of the fathers into the boſome of their children after the: D God the great a mightie, whole Name is the Lord of hoſſes,

19 Great in counsel, and mightie in woſke, (for thine eyes are open vpon all the wayes of the ſonnes of men, to giue to euery one according to his wayes, and according to the fruite of his woſkes)

20 Which haſt set lignes and wonders in the land of Egypt vnto this k day, a in Israel, f among all men, a haſt made thee a Name, as appeareth this day,

21 And haſt brought thy people Israel out of the land of Egypt with lignes, and with wonders, a with a strong had, with a stretched out arme, and with great terour,

22 And haſt giuen them this lande, which thou didest ſware to their fathers to giue them, euen a land, that floweth with mille and home,

23 And they came in, and posſessed it, but they obeyed not thy doyce, neither walked in thy Law: all that thou commanddeth them to do, they haue not done: therefore thou haſt caueth this whole plague to come vp to them.

24 Beholde, the mounts, they are come into the citie to take it, and the citie is giuen into the hande of the Caldeans, that fight a gainst it by meanes of the word, and of the ſamine, and of the pesſilence, and what thou haſt spoken, is come to palle, f behold, thou leest it.

25 And thou haſt said vnto me, D Lord God, Bye vnto thee the ſielde for filuer, and take witnesses: for the citie thalbe giuen into the hand of the Caldeans.

26 Then came the word of the Lord vnto Jeremiah, laying,

27 Beholde, I am the LORD GOD of all m kely: is there any thing to hard for me?

28 Therefore thus faith the Lord, Beholde, I will giue this citie into the hande of the Caldeans, and into the hande of Aheb-chad-nezzar,

h and to hide them in the ground, that they might be prouerred as a token of their deliverance,

c Or, hid.

29 And the Caldeans shall come and fight against this citie, and let fire on this citie and burne it, with the houses, bpō whole roukes they haue offred incense vnto Baal, ε powred drinke offrings vnto other gods, to pouoke me vnto anger.

30 For the children of Israel, and the children of Judah haue surely done evil before me from their youth: for the children of Israel haue surel prouoked me to anger with the works of their hands, faith the Lord.

31 Therefore this citie hath bene vnto me as a prouocation of mine anger, ε of my wrath, from the day, that they built it, even vnto this day, that I should remoue it out of my fight,

32 Because of al the evil of the children of Israel, and of the children of Judah, which they haue done to pouoke me to anger, euthey, their kings, their princes, their priefts, and their piethefs, and the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

33 And they haue turned vnto me the backe and not the face : though I taught them, o rising vp early, and instructing them, yet they were not obedient to receive doctrine,

34 But they let their abominations in the house (whereupon my name was called) to defile it,

35 And they built the hie p places of Baal, which are in the valley of q Ben-hinnom, to cause their fonnes, and their daughters to p palle through the fire vnto Molech, which I commanded them not, neither came it into my minde, that they should do such abomination, to cause Judah to finne.

36 And now therefore, thus hath the Lord God of Israel spoken, concerning this citie, whereof ye say, It halbe deliuered into the hand of the king of Babel by the word, and by the kamine, and by the pestilence,

37 Beholde, I wil gather them out of all countreis, wherein I haue scattered them in mine anger, and in my wrath, ε in great indignation, and I will bring them againe vnto this place, and I will cause them to dwell safely.

38 And they halbe * my people, and I will be their God.

39 And I wil give them * one heart and one way that they may keare me for euer for the wealth of them, and of their children after them.

40 And I wil make an u everlasing covenant with them, that I wil neuer turne away from them to do them good, but I wil put my keare in their hearts, that they shall not depart from me.

41 Pea, I will delite in them to do them good, and I will plant them in this lande assuredly with my whole heart, and with all my foule.

42 For thus faith the Lord, Like as I haue brought all this great plague bpō this peo-

ple, so wil I bring vpon them all the good that I haue promised them.

43 And the field halbe posſessed in this land, whereof ye say, It is delolate without man or beaſt, and halbe giuen into the hande of the Caldeans.

44 Men shall ye ε fieldes for iluer, ε make wittings, and seale them, and take wittelles in the lande of Benjamin, and round about Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, and in the cities of the mountaines, and in the cities of the plaine, and in the cities of the South; for I will cause their captiuitie to returne, faith the Lord.

This is the declaration of their, which was spoken, 12:18.

From the time that I brought them out of Egypt, and made the people, and called the up first beoune.

The Prophet is monified of the Lord to play for the deliuerance of the people, which the Lord pronounced, ε God forgiuenth times, for his owne glorie. 15 Of the birth of Chynt. 20 The kingdome of Chynt in the Church shall neuer be ended.

Mereouer, the word of the Lord came vnto Jeremiah the ſecond time (while he was yet shut vp in h a c 12:29) in the hings of the prilon) laying,

Thus faith the Lord, the maker b thereof, the Lord that formed it, and eſtablished it, the Lord is his Name.

3 Call vnto me, and I will anſwer thee, and ſhow thee great and mightie things, which thou knowest not.

4 For thus faith the Lord God of Israel, concerning the houſes of this citie, and concerning the houſes of the Kings of Judah, which are destroyed by the e mounts, and by the sword,

5 They come to d fight with the Caldeans, but it is to fill them ſelues with the dead bodies of men, whome I haue ſlaue in mine anger and in my wrath: for I haue hid my e face from this citie, because of al their wic kednes.

6 Behold, f I wil give it health a amendment: for I wil cure them, and wil receue vnto them the abundance of peace, a truth.

7 And I wil cause the captiuitie of Judah, and the captiuitie of Israel to returne, and will builde them as at the first.

8 And I wil e close them from all their iniquitie, whereby they haue sinned againſt me: pea, I will pardon all their iniquities, whereby they haue sinned againſt me, and whereby they haue rebelled againſt me.

9 And it halbe to me a name, a h loy, a prate, and an honour before all the nations of the earth, which shall beare all the good that I do vnto them: and they shall keare, a tremble for all the goodnes, and for all h wealth, that I hew vnto this citie.

10 Thus faith the Lord, Againe there halbe heard in this place ( which ye say halbe delolate, without man, and without beaſt, euuen in the cities of Judah, and in h freetees of Jerusalem, that are delolate without man, and without inhabitant, and without beaſt)

n *Rea ch. Chap. 1
25:1*

A
Ad in the fourth yere of Jehoiakim the Sonne of Joliah King of Judah, came this word vnto Jeremiah from the Lord, laying,

2 Take thee a roule or booke, and write ther-
in al the words that I haue spoken to thee
against Israel, and against Judah, and a-
gainst all the nations, from the day that I
lpahe vnto thee, euen b from the dapes of
Joliah vnto this day.

3 It may be that the House of Judah will heare of all the euil, which I determined to do vnto them that they may returne euerie man from his euil way, that I may soſgiue their iniquitie and their sinnes.

4 Then Jeremiah called Baruch the Sonne of Aeriath, Baruch wjte <sup>c</sup> at the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of the Lord, which he had spoken vnto him, vp a roule or booke.

5 And Jeremiah commanded Baruch, lay-
ing, I am d but vp, and can not go into the
House of the Lord.

6 Therefore go thou, and reade the roule, wherein thou haſt written at my mouth the words of the Lord, in the audience of the people in the Lords Houſe vpon the c falling day : also thou haſt reade them in the hearing of all Judah, that come out of their cities.

7 It may be that they will f nap before the
Lord, and euerie one returne from his euil
way, for great is the anger and the wrath,
that the Lord hath declared against this
people.

8 So Baruch the Sonne of Aeriath did acco-
ding vnto all, that Jeremiah the Dijphter
commanded him, reading in the booke the
words of the Lord in the Lords Houſe.

9 And in the aft yere of Jehoiakim the
Sonne of Joliah King of Judah, in the ninth
moneth, they proclaimed a ſaſt before the
Lord to all the people in Jeruſalem, and to
all the people that came from the cities of
Judah vnto Jeruſalem.

10 Then read Baruch in the booke the words of Jeremiah in the House of the Lord, in the chamber of Gemariah the Sonne of Sha-

phan the ſecretarie, in the hier court at the
entrie of the h new gate of the Lords houſe,
in the hearing of all the people.

11 When Micaiah the Sonne of Gemariah, the Sonne of Shaphan had heard out of the booke all the words of the Lord,

12 Then he went downe to the Kings houſe into the Chancellours chamber, and lo, all the princes late there, euen Elihama the Chancellour, & Delaiah the Sonne of She-maiah, and Elnathan the Sonne of Achzob, and Gemariah the Sonne of Shaphan, and Zedekiah the Sonne of Hananiah, and all the princes.

13 Then Micaiah declared vnto them al the
words that he had heard when Baruch
read in the booke in the audience of the peo-
ple.

14 Therefore all the princes sent Jehudi the
sonne of Aethamah, the Sonne of Shele-
miah, the Sonne of Chushi, vnto Baruch,
laying, Take in thine hand the roule, wher-
in thou haſt read in the audience of the peo-
ple, and come. So Baruch the Sonne of
Aeriath, tooke the roule in his hand, a came
unto them.

15 And they laid vnto him, Sit downe now,
and reade it, that we may heare. So Ba-
ruch read it in their audience.

16 Now when they had heard al the words,
they were f afraid both one and other, and
faid vnto Baruch, We wil certifie the King
of all these words.

17 And they examined Baruch, laying, Tell
us now, how didest thou write all these
words at his mouth.

18 Then Baruch answere d them, He pro-
nounced all these words vnto me with his
mouth, and I wrote them with pake in the
booke.

19 Then laid the princes vnto Baruch, Go,
k hide thee, thou and Jeremiah, and let no
man know where ye be.

20 And they went in to the King to the
court, but they laide vp the roule in the ch-
aber of Elihama the Chancellour and toke
the King all the words, that he might
heare.

21 So the King sent Jehudi to fet the roule, and he tooke it out of Elihama the Chancellours chamber, and Jehudi read it in the audience of the King, and in the audience of al the princes, which stood before the King.

22 Now the King late in the winter Houſe,
in the ninth moneth, and there was a fire
burning before him.

23 And when Jehudi had read three, or ſou-
fides, he cut it with the pennitke and caſt it
into the fire, that was on the hearth until at
the roule was conſumed in ſ fire, that was
on the hearth.

24 Yet they were not afraid, nor rent v the
garments, neither the King, nor any of his
ferrants, that heard al these words.

Gemariah had beſought the King, that he

would not burne the roule : but he woulde not heare them.

26 But the King commaunded Jerammeel the sonne of Hammelech, and Seraiah the sonne of Azriel, and Shelemiah the sonne of Abdiel, to take Baruch the scribe, and Jeremiah the Prophet, but the Lord "hid them."

n Thus we are the continual care, that God shall ever ouer his to prierue them from the rage of the wicked.

27 Then the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah (after that the King had burnt the roule and the wordes which Baruch wrote at the mouth of Jeremiah) saying,

o Though the wicked quike to have abolls they the word of God, but then they haue burnt the house thereof: yet this becauë that God will not onelp rable it up as godlike, but as to mine owne in greater asbundance to their commandation, as well.

28 Take thee againe another roule a write in it all the former wordes that were in the first roule which Jehoiakim the King of Judah hath burnt,

p These are Jehoiakum's wordes.
q Although Tyron hadachin his sonne succed him, yet because he reguired but three moneths it was effected as no reigne.
r Read Chay, 22, 19.

29 And thou halt say to Jehoiakim King of Judah, Thus faith the Lord, Thou hait burnt this roule, saying, P. whop hait thou written therein, saying, that the King of Babel thal certainly come and destroy this lande, and shall take thence both man and beak?

30 Therefore thus faith the Lord of Jehoiakim King of Judah, He hali haue 1 none to sit upon the throne of David, and his 2 dead bodie shall be cast out in the day to the heat, and in the night to the kroft.

31 And I will visit him and his seede, and his seruants for their iniquitie, and I will bring upon them, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusale, and upon the men of Judah al the euil that I haue pronounced against them: but they would not heare.

32 Then tooke Jeremiah another roule, and gave it Baruch the scribe the sonne of Jeremiah, which wrote therein at the mouth of Jeremiah al the words of the booke which Jehoiakim king of Judah had burnt in the fire, and there were added besides them many like wordes.

But neither he, nor his seruants, nor the people of the land would obey the wordes of the Lord, which he spake by the 2 ministe of the Prophet Jeremiah.

3 And Zedekiah the King sent Jehucal the sonne of Shelemiah, and Zephaniah the sonne of Ahaaleiah the Priest to the Prophet Jeremiah, saying, Lay now unto the Lord our God for us.

4

(Now) Jeremiah d went in and out among the people: for they had not put him into the prison.

5 Then Pharaohs hoste was e come out of Egypt; and when the Caldeans that belieued Jerusale, heard tidings of them, they

6

6 Then came the word of the Lord unto the

Prophet Jeremiah, saying,

7

Thus faith the Lord God of Israel. Thus shall ye say to J. King of Judah, that he lent you unto me to inquire of me, Beholde, Pharaohs hoste, which is come forth to help you, shall returne to Egypt into their own land. And the Caldeans shall come againe, and fight against this citie, and take it a burne it with fire.

8

9

Thus faith the Lord, "Decide not your felues," saying, The Caldeans shall surely depart from vs: for they shall not depart.

10

For though ye had smitten the whole hoste of the Caldeans that fight against you, there remained but wounded men among them, yet thou should every man rive vp in his tent, and burne this citie with fire.

11

When the hoste of the Caldeans was broken vp from Jerusale, because of Pharaohs armie,

12

Then Jeremiah went out of Jerusale to go into the land of Benjamin, separating himselfe thence from among the people.

13

And when he was in the gate of Benjamin, there was a chiefe officer, whose name was Jeruah, the sonne of Shelemiah, the sonne of Hananiah, and he tooke Jeremiah the Prophet, saying, Thou shall be the Caldeans.

14

Then said Jeremiah, That is falle, I fee not to the Caldeas: but he would not heare him: to Jeruah tooke Jeremiah, a brought him to the princes.

15

Wherefore the Princes were angrie with Jeremiah, and inote him, and laide him in prison in the house of Jonathan h scribe: for they had made that the b prison.

16

When Jeremiah was entred into the dungeon, and into the prisons, and had remayed there a long time,

17

Then Zedekiah the King sent, and tooke him out, and the King asked him fercretely in his house, and said, Is there any wolde from the Lord? And Jeremiah said, Pca: for, said he, thou hait be delivered into the hand of the King of Babel.

18

Moreover, Jeremiah said unto King Zedekiah, What haue I offered against thee, or against thy seruants, or against this people, that ye haue put me in prison?

19

* where are now your Prophets, which prophetied unto you, saying, The King of Babel shall not come against you, not against this land?

20

uernour in the lande, and that he had com-
mitted vnto him, men, and women, & chil-
dren, and of the poore of the land, that were
not carried a way captive to Babel,

8 Then they came to Sedaliah to Mizpah, even *Ishmael the Sonne of Methaniah, a Johanam, and Jonathan the Sonnes of Kareah, and Seraiah the Sonne of Taneumeth, and the Sonnes of Ephai, the Aethaphathite, and Jezaniah the Sonne of Maachathi, they and their men.

9 And Sedaliah the Sonne of Ahikam, the
sonne of Shaphan *sware vnto them, and
to their men, saying, Feare not to ferue the
Caldeans: dwel in the land, and ferue the
King of Babel, and it shall be well with you.

10 As for me, beholde, I will dwel at Mizpah to *ferue the Caldeans, which will come vnto vs: but you, gather you wine, and former fruitses, and oyle, and put them in your beffels, and dwell in your cities, that ye have* taken.

11 Likewise when all the Jewes that were in Moab, and among the Ammonites, and in Edom, that were in all the countreis, heard that *the King of Babel had left a remnant of Judah, and that he had set ouer them Sedaliah the Sonne of Ahikam the Sonne of Shaphan,*

12 Euen all the Jewes returned out of all
places where they were diuinen, and came
to the lande of Judah to Sedaliah vnto
Mizpah, and gathered wine and sommer
kruifes, very much.

13 Moreouer Johanam the Sonne of Kareah, and all the captaines of the hoſte, that were in the fieldes, came to Sedaliah to Miza>pah,

14 And ſaide vnto him, Knouweſt thou not that s Baalis the King of the Ammonites hath ſent Iſhmael the Sonne of Aethaniah to flap thee ? But Sedaliah the Sonne of Ahikam beleeued them not.

15 Then Johanam the Sonne of Kareah spake to Sedaliah in Mizpah feetely, saying, Let me go, I pray thee, and I will slay Iſhmael the Sonne of Aethaniah, and no man shall know it. wherefore should he kill thee, that all the Jewes, which are gathered vnto thee, should be scattered, and the remnant in Judah perish ?

16 But Sedaliah the Sonne of Ahikam ſaide
unto Johanam the Sonne of Kareah, Thou
halt h not do this thing : so thou speakeſt

of Eubama of the ſeede royal, and the  
princes of the *b King, & ten men with him,  
unto Sedaliah *b ſonne of Ahikam to Miza-  
pah, and there they did *c eat bread together  
in Mizpah.

b Deaneing, Lebedek. c Thep did eat together as familiar friends.

2 Then arose Iſhmael the Sonne of Aetha-
niah with these ten men that were with
him, & smote Sedaliah the Sonne of Ahikam
the Sonne of Shaphan with the word, and
ſlew him, whome the King of Babel had
made governour ouer the land.

Ithmael also flew al the Jewes that were
with Sedaliah at Mizpah, and all the Cal-
deans that were found there, and the men
of warre.

4 Now the ſecond day that he had slaine Ee-
daliah, and no man knew it.

5 There came men from Shechem, kro Shiloh, & from Samaria, euen foure ſcore men, having their beards hauen, & their clothes rent and cut, with *d offrings and incense in their hands to offer in the House of the Lord.*

6 And Ithmael the Sonne of Aethaniah went forth from Mizpah to meet them, weeping as he went: and when he met them, he laid vnto them, Come * to Sedaliah the Sonne of Ahikam.*

7 And when they came into the middes of the citie, Ithmael the Sonne of Aethaniah flew them, and caſt them into the middes of the pit, he & the men that were with him. But ten men were founde among them, that laid vnto Ithmael, Slay vs not: *fo we haue treasures in the fielde, of wheat, & of barley, and of oyle, and of honie: so hee spayed, and ſlew them not among their be- then.*

9 Now the pit wherein Ithmael had caſt the dead bodies of *p men (whome he had slaine because of Sedaliah) is it, which Alfa the King had * made because of Bala h Ring of Israel, and Iſhmael the Sonne of Aethaniah filled it with, them that were slaine.*

10 Then Ithmael carried away captive all the reſuſe of the people that were in Miza>pah, euen the Kings daughters, and all the people that remained in Miza>pah, whome Nebuza>dan the chieſe ſteward had co>mitted to Sedaliah the ſonne of Ahikam, and Ithmael the ſonne of Aethaniah carried them away captive, and departed to go ouer to the Ammonites.

11 But when Johanam the ſonne of Kareah, and al the *s captaines of the hoſt that were with him, hearede of all the euill that Iſhmael the ſonne of Aethaniah had done,*

12 Then they all tooke their men, and went to fight with Iſhmael the ſonne of Aethaniah, and founde him by the great waters that are in Gibeon.

13 Now when all the people whom Iſh-  
el carried away captive, ſawe Johanam the  
ſonne of Kareah, and al the captaines of the  
hoſt, that were with him, they were glad.

14 So all the people, that Ithmael had carried away captive from Miza>pah, returned and came again, and went vnto Johanam the ſonne of Kareah.

15 But Ithmael the ſonne of Aethaniah carried from Johanam with eight men, and Hh.h.iii. went

4. Make readic the hozes, and let the hoſſes men get vp, and stand vp with your sallets, fourthwith the speares, and put on the brigan- dines.

5 Whereof haue I ſene them aſtayde, & diuuen backed? for their mightie men are ſmitten, & are fled away, & looke not backed: for ſeare was round about, ſaith the Lord.

6 The prophet had this to ſi: an of the Es- gnutians, which ſhouſt be put to flight by the Sabians, and the Philistins.

7 The lympt shall not ſee awaye, nor the strong man escape: they shall ſtumble, and fall toward the North by the river Perath. Who is this, that commeth vp, as a flood, whole waters are moued like the rivers?

8 The Daughters of Solomon, that be in the house of God, are called the Daughters of the House of Israel.

8 Egypt richeth by like the flood, & his waters are moued like the rivers, and he layth, I will go vp, & will cover the earth: I will de- krop the citie with them that dwel therin.

9 Come vp, ye hozes, and rage yee charrets, and let the valiant men come foorth, as the blacke Moes, and the Lybians that beare the chielde, and the Lybians that handle & mend the boode.

10 For this is the dave of the Lord God of hozes, and a dap of benceance, that he may auenge him of his enemies: for the Swoode that deuoure, and it ſhalbe faciat, and made diuque with their blood: for the Lord God of hozes hath a facrifice in the North cou- trey by the river Perath.

11 He called the flangether of God's eme- nents, because it is a thing that doth please God, 21, 23, 26, 27. That is at Carmel, 28. That is at Gilead, 29. And did grow up and come to be a great balance for wounds. 30. He called brak- 31. The nations haue heard of the ſlame, and the crpe hath filled the land: for the strong hath stumbled agaynſt the strong and they are fallen both together.

12 The nations haue heard of the ſlame, and the crpe hath filled the land: for the strong hath stumbled agaynſt the strong and they are fallen both together.

14 The word that the Lord spake to Jeremiah the Prophet, how Nebuchadnezzar King of Babel should come and smite the land of Egypt.

15 Who are the valiant men put backed? they could not stand, because the Lord did diuine them.

16 He made manie to fall, and one fell upon another: and they layd, Arise, let vs goe a- gaine to our own people, and to the land of our nativityie from the Swoode of the vior- lent.

17 They did crpe there. Pharaoh King of Es- gpt, and of a great multitude: hath palled the time appoynted.

18 As I line, layth the King, whose Name is the Lord of hozes, ſurely as Tabo is in the mountains, and as Carmel is in the Sea: so ſhal it come.

19 O thou daughter dwelling in Egypt, make thee geare to goe into captivity : for Aoph ſhalbe waste and desolate, without an inhabitant.

20 Egypt is like a fairies calfe, but destruction commeth out of the North it commeth.

21 Also her hired men are in the middes of: as baris, her like fatte calues: they are also turned backe and fled away together: they could not stande, because the dap of their deſtruc- tion was come vpon them, and the tyne of their vibration.

22 The boyc thereof shall goe foorth like a ſerpent: for they shall marche with an ar- mie, and come agaynſt her with axes, as hewers of wood.

The ſhalbe fearne able to speak for ſeare of the Calisians.

23 They shall cut downe her foerſt. layth the Loide: for they cannot be counted, because they are more then the graſhoppers, and are innumerable.

1. DREADING, Egypt. 2. CHAT is, they fall, lay the great and mightie men of power.

24 The Daughter of Egypt shall be conſom- ned: thee ſhalbe deuined into the hands of the people of the North.

3. CO WIT, As- saris amur.

25 Thus layth the Lord of hozes, the God of Israel, Behold, I will viſite the commo- people of No, a Pharaoh, and Egypt, with their gods and their Kings, euë Pharaoh, and all them that trust in him.

4. Sometake the Suvre, buchd these: Ann for the kings names of No, that is, of Ty- leandjania.

26 And I will deliver them into the hands of those, that feeke their lyues, and into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar King of Babel, and into the hands of his ſeruants, and at- terward the chal dwel as in the olde time, layth the Lord.

5. MEANING, that after the ſpace of four ſevers, the perroct the Lord should be reſtored, 21, 23, 26, 27.

27 C. But keare not thou, O my seruant Ja- kob, and be not thou aſtayde. D. Israel: for beholde, I will deliver thee from a fare: countrey, & thy feede from the lande of their captivity, and Jaakob chal returne and be in rest, and polderitie, and none shall make him aſtayde.

6. God com- forſeth all his that were in captivity, but for the chal of the Jewes, whereof were Jeremiah and Sarach which remained as among the Es- oprians: for the Lord nuer for alrethys, 21, 23, 26, 27. Chap. 20, 10.

28 Keare thou not, O Jaakob my ſeruaint, faith the Lord: for I am with thee, I will witterly deſtroye all the nations, whether I haue diuuen thee: but I will not vitterly de- krop thee, but correct thee by judgement, and not witterly cut thee of.

8. Which was also called Gasa a citie of the Phisians.

2. Thus layth the Lord, Behold, waters rile vp out of the North, and ſhalbe as a Swel- ling flood, and chall ouerflowe the lande, and all that is therein, and the cities with them that dwell therein: then the men chal crpe, and all the inhabitantes of the lande shall howle,

4. The great keare that takes away their natural af- ferion.

5. Their heart chal to lay them.

is cut vp with the rest of their valleys. How
long wilt s thou cut thy selfe?

6 D thou (word of the Lord, howe long will it be or thou cease! turne against into thy leaberd, rest and be still.

7 Howe can it be cleane, seeing the Loide hath given it a charge against Ashkelon, and against the sea bank euven there hath he ap-oynted it.

1 Concerning Moab, thus faith § Lord
of hostes, the God of Israel, wo into
a Hebo: for it is walled: Kiriathaim is
confounded & taken: Milgab is confoun-
ded and afrayde.

8 Moab shall beast no more of Hehbon: for
they hauene deuised euill agaynst it. b Come,
and let his destrope it, that it bee no more a
nation: also thou shall bee destroied, c D
Madmen, and the sword shall purifie thee.

c Boyce of crying shall be from Hozonaim
with delofation and great destruction.

9 Moab is destroyed : her little ones haue
caused their crye to be heard.

10 For at the going vp of d Luhith, the mout-
ner shall go vp with weeping: for in the go-
ing downe of Hozonaim, the enemies haue
heard a crye of destruction,

6 Flee, and faue your lines, and be like unto
the e heath in the wildernes.

11 For because thou haſt trusted in thy
workes and in thy treasures, thou haſt
also be taken, and e Chemofh shall go forth
into captiuitie with his Priestes and his
princes together.

8 And the destrover shall come vpon al cities,
and no citie shall escape : the valley also shall
perilhe and the playne halbe destroied as
the Lord hath spoken.

9 Sive winges vnto Moab, that it may klee
and get away: for the cities thereof shall be
delolate, without any to dwell therein.

10 h Curfed be he that doeth the worke of the
Loide " negligently, and curled be he that
keepeth backe his word from blood.

11 Moab hath beene at rest from his youth,
and he hath letted on his lees, and hath not
bene' powred from vessel to vessel, neyther
hath he gone into captiuite : therefore his
taste remayned in him and his sent is not
changed.

12 Therefore behold, the dayes come, layph
the Lord, that I wil send vnto him such as
shall carpe him away, and shall empty his
vessels, and diake their bottels.

13 And Moab shall be ahamed of Chemofh
as the houle of Israel was ahamed of
k Beth-el their confidence.

14 Howe thinke you thus, we are mightie &
strong men of warre?

15 Moab is destroyed, and his cities *burnt
up, & his choken yong men are gone downe
to slaughter, layph the King, whose name

is, The Lord of hostes.

16 The destructio of Moab is ready to come,
and his plague hasteth fait.

17 All that are about him, mourne for him,
and all that know his name, say, Howe
is the strong staffe broken, and the beauti-
full rodde!

18 Thou daughter that doest inhabite Di-
bon, come downe from thy glorie, and sitte
in thyft : for the destrover of Moab shall
come vp vpon thee, and he shall destrope the
strong holdes.

19 Thou that dwellest in Aroer, stand by the
way, and beholde: aske him that fleeth and
that escapeth, and say, What is done?

20 Moab is confounded: for it is destroied:
howle, and crye, tell yee it in Arnon, that
Moab is made waste,

21 And judgement is come vpon the playne
countrey, vpon Holon and vpon Jahazah,
and vpon Hephaath,

22 And vpon Dibon, and vpon Hebo, & vpon
the house of Diblathaim,

23 And vpon Kiriathaim, and vpô Beth-ga-
mul, and vpon Beth-meon,

24 And vpon Kerioth, and vpon Bozrah, and
vpon al the cities of the land of Moab farre
on neere.

25 The " home of Moab is cut of, & his arme
is broken, layph the Lord.

26 Make pe him * Drunken: for he magnified
himself against the Lord: Moab shall wal-
lowe in his vomite, and he also shall be in
derision.

27 For diddeft not thou derde Israel, as
though he had bene found among theeues:
for when thou speakest of him, thou art
p moued.

28 O yee that dwell in Moab, leaue the ci-
ties, and dwel in the rockes, and be like the
done, that maketh her nest in the sides of
the holes mouth.

29 * We haue heard the pride of Moab (he is 15, 16, 6,
exceeding pnde) his routines, and his ar-
gancie, and his pride, and the hauines of
his heart.

30 I know his wizath, layph the Lord, but it
shall not be so: & his diffusulations, for the
they do not right.

31 Therefore wil I howle for Moab, and I
will crye out for all Moab: mine heart shall
mourne for the men of Kir-heres.

32 O vine of Sibmah, I wil wepe for thee,
as I wept for Jazer: thy plantes are gone
ouer the sea, they are come to the sea of Ja-
zer: the destrover is fallen vpô thy sommer
fruites, and vpon thy vantage,

33 And iove, and gladnes is taken from the
plentiful field and from the land of Moab:
and I haue caused wine to fayle from the
wine presse : none shall trecade with how-
ting: their howtting shalbe no howtting.

34 From the crie of Hehbon vnto Claleh and
unto Jahaz haue they made their noife: fro
Zoar vnto Hozonaim, the * heiffer of three

35 Mo: couer, I wil caufe to cease in Moab, layth the Lord, him that offred in the hgy places, and him that burneth incense to his gods.

36 Therefore mine heart shall found for Moab like a * haume, and mine heart shall founde like a haume for the men of Kik-hees, because the riches that he hath gotten, is perished.

37 * For every bead halbe balde, and every beard plucked: upon all the hands of halbe cuttings, and upon the lopes sacchetloth.

38 And mourning shall be upon all the house tops of Moab and in all the streets thereof: for I have broken Moab like a besell wherein is no pleasure, layth the Lord.

39 They shall howle, saying, Howe is he destroyed? how hath Moab turned the backe with shame? so shall Moab be a derision, a keare to all them about him.

40 For thus layth the Lord, Schold, * he shall flee as an egle, and shall lyead his wings over Moab.

41 The cities are taken and the strong holds are wonne, and the mighty mens hearts in Moab at that dave halbe as the heart of a woman in tranayle.

42 And Moab halbe destroyed from being a people, because hee hath set vp himelfe against the Lord.

43 * Feare, and pit & snare shall be upon thee, O inhabitant of Moab, layth the Lord.

44 He that escapeth from the keare, shall fall in the pit, and he that getteth vp out of the pitte, shall be taken in the snare: for I will bring upon it, euen upon Moab, the pere of their visitation, faith the Lord.

45 They that fled, koode vnder the shadowe of Heshbon, because of the force: for * a: the fire came out of Heshbon, and a flame from Schon, and denoured the corner of Moab, and the top of the seditions children.

46 No: do be vnto thee, O Moab: the people of

b Chemosh pertiseth: for thy sonnes are taken captiues, and thy daughters led into captuitie.

47 Yet will I bring againe the captuitie of Moab in the c latter dayes, layth the Lord. Thus farre of the judgement of Moab.

1 The Word of the Lord against the Ammonites, 7 Tounne, 23 Daughters, 38 Medbar, 3 and Clam.

2 V At the childre of a Ammon thus faith the Lo'de, Hath Israel no sonnes: or hath hee none heire? Noy: then hath their b King posseffed Gad: and his people dwelt in c his cities?

3 Therefore beholde, the dayes come, layth the Lord, that I wil caufe a noyse of warre to be heard in d Rabbah of the Ammonites, and it halbe a delolate heape, a her daugh ters halbe burnt with fire: then shall Israel possele those that posseffed him, layth the Lo'de.

4 Howle, O Heshbon, for: It is wafed: crye yee daughters of Rabbah: gyde you with

sacchetloth: mourne and runne to and fro by the hedges: for their King shall goe into captuitie, and his Driestes, and his princes likewise.

4 Wherefore glopest thou in the e valleys? thy valley floweth awaye, D rebellious daughter: shee trusted in her treasures, laying, who shall come vnto me?

5 Beholde, I will bring * a keare upon thee, layth the Lo'de God of holles, of all those that be about thee, and ye halbe scattered every man s right footh, and none shall gath er him that fleeth.

6 And h afterward I will bring againe the captuitie of the children of Ammonit.

7 To Edom thus layth the Lord of holles, Is wifedome no more in i Teman: is countel perished from their children: is their wifedome vanished?

8 Flee, ye inhabitants of Sedan (k they are turned backe, & haue consulted to dwell) for I haue brought the destruction of Elau vp on him, and the time of his visitation.

9 If the l grape gatherers come to thee, would ye then leane some grapes? if theeues come by nyght, they will destroye till they haue ynough.

10 For I haue discovered Elau: I haue discovered his secrets, and he shall not be able to hide him selfe: his seede is wafed, and his heathen and his neighbours. A there shall be none to say,

11 Leave thy m fatherles children, and I will preferue them aliue, and let thy widowes truft in me.

12 For thus layth the Lo'de, " Beholde, they whole judgement was not to Dritike of the cup, haue assuredly drunken, and art thou he that shall escape free?" thou shall not goe free, but thou shall surely drinke of it.

13 For I haue sworne by my selfe, layth the Lo'de, that o Borrah halbe wafte, and for o r a renoch, and a desolation, and a curse, and all the cities thereof halbe perpetuall desolations.

14 I haue heard a rumo: from the Lord, and an ambassadour is sent vnto the heathen, laying, Gather you together, and come against p her, and rile vp to the battel.

15 For lo, I will make thee but small among the heathen, and deplifed among men.

16 Thy * keare, & the pride of thine heart hath deceased thee, thou that dwellest in p c lefts of the rocke, and keepeft the heyght of the hill: though thou shouldst make thy neft as hie as the egle. I will bring thee down from thence, layth the Lord.

17 Also Edom shall be delolate: every one that goeth by it, halbe asonilhed, and shall hiffe at all the plagues thereof.

18 As in the ouerthome of Sodom, and of Gomorah, and the places thereof neere about, layth the Lo'de: no man shall dwell there, nepther shall the sonnes of men re mayne in it.

10 And Caldean shall be spoyle: all that spoyle her, shall be satisfied, asphal the Lord.

11 Because ye were glad and rejoiced in de- kroying mine heritage, and because yee are grownen fat, as the calues in the graffe, nepey like strong horves,

12 Therefore your mother shall be soe confoun- ded, and the that bare you, shall be alhamed: behold, the bittermost of the nations shall be a desert, a dye land, and a wilderness.

13 Because of the wath of the Loode it shall not be inhabited, but shall be wholly desolate: every one that goeth by Babel, shall be al- nihled, and hitherto at all her plagues.

14. Put your selfes in aray against Babel round about: al ye that bend the bow, shoot at her, spare no arowes: for the hath is sin- ned against the Lord.

15 Cry against her round about: the hath" ge- uen her hand: her foundations are fallen, & her walles are destroyed: for it is the ben- gance of the Loode: take vengeance upon her: as the hath done, do unto her.

16 Destroy the sover from Babel, and him that handleth the fith in the tyne of har- uest: because of the word of the oppresso- they shall turne every one to his people, and they shall flee every one to his owne land.

17 Israel is like scattered sheep: the lyons haue disperſed them: first the King is of Al- hur hath devoured him, and last this Pe- buchad-nezzar king of Babel hath broken his bones.

18 Therefore thus layth the Loode of holles the God of Israel, Behold, I will vilithe the king of Babel, and his land, as I haue vi- lited the King of Assur.

19 And I will bring Israel againe to his ha- bitation: he shall feede on Carmel and Ba- chan, and his soule shall be satisfied upon the mount Ephraim and Gilead.

20 In those dayes, and at that time, faith the Loode, the iniquitie of Israel haue sought for, and there shall none: and the sinnes of Judah, as they shall not be founde: for I will be merciful unto them, whom I referre.

21 Go bp against the land of the *rebelles*, eucl against it, and against the inhabitants *of* "Pekod: deſtroy, & lay it waste after them, layth the Lord, and do according to al that I haue commanded thee.

22 A crew of battel is in the land, and of great destruction.

23 How is the "hammer of the whole world" destroyed, and broken! howe is Babel be- come desolate among the nations!

24 I haue snared thee, and thou art taken. A Babel, and thou wast not aware: thou art founde, and alio caught, because thou haſt striven against the Lord.

25 The Loode hath opened his treasure, and hath brought forth *3 weapods of his wath: for this is the work of the Loode God of holles in the land of the Caldeans.

26 Come against her: from the bottom boz: †Ebr. from the end. der: open her sove houſes: treade on her as on sheaues, and deſtrop her: butler: let no- thing of her be left.

27 Destroy all her x bullockes: let them goe downe to the slaughte. Woe unto them, for their dape is come, and the tyme of their bilitation.

28 The boyle of them that klee, and escape out of the land of Babel to declare in Zion the vengeance of the Loode our God, & the vengeance of his Temple.

29 Call up the archers against Babel: all ye that bend the bowe, believe it round about: let none thereof escape: *recompence her according to her worke, & according to all that the hath done, do unto her: for the hath bene proude against the Lord, euen against the holy one of Israel.

30 Therefore shall her yong men fall in the streetes, and al her men of warre shall be de- stroyed in that day, layth the Lord.

31 Behold, I come vnto thee, O proude man, layth the Lord God of hostes: for the day is come, euen the time that I will vilithe thee.

32 And the proude shall stumble and fall, and none shall rayſe him vp: and I will kindle a fyre in his cities, and it shall deuoure all round about him.

33 Thus layth the Loode of holles, The chil- dren of Israel, and the children of Judah were oppressed together: and all that tooke them captiues, helde them, and would not let them go.

34 But their strong redeemer, whose Name is the Lord of holles, he shall mainteyne their caufe, that he may give rest to the lande, † He helveteth that when god executeth his ingements against his es- nemies, that his Church shall them bane rent. †Ebr. lyars.

35 A wode is upon the Caldeans, layth the Loode, and upon the inhabitants of Babel, and upon her p[]inces, a upon her w[]ife men.

36 A w[]ord is upon the toothfl apers, and they shall dote: a w[]ord is upon her strong men, and they shall afrape.

37 A w[]ord is upon their hollies & upon their charets, and upon al the multitude that are in the middes of her, and they shall be like women: a w[]ord is upon her treasures, and they shall be spoyled.

38 A dought is upon her waters, and they shall be dried vp: for it is the lande of grauen images, and they dote upon their idoles.

39 Therefore the b Ziems with the Jims shall dwell there, and † the oftriches shall dwell therein: for it shall be no more inhabited, ne- ther shall it bee inhabited from generation unto generation.

40 As God destroyed * Sodom and Gom- tah with the places thereof neere aboute, layth the Lord: so shall no man dwell there, nether shall the sonne of man remapne therein.

41 C Beholde, a people shall come from the North, and a great nation, A many kings shall bee raped vp from c the coakles of the earth.

4 * But in the ninth yere of his reigne, in the tenth moneth the tenth daye of the moneth came Nebuchadnezzar King of Babel, he and all his hoſte against Jerusalemin, and pitched against it, and buylt fortes against it round about.

5 So the citie was befieged vnto the eleuenth yere of the King Zedekiah.

6 Nowe in the fourth moneth, the ninth day of the moneth, the famine was forze in the citie, so that there was no more breaſe for the people of the land.

7 Then the citie was broken vp and all the men of warre fled, and went out of the citie by night, by the way of the gate betweene the two walles, which was by the Kings garden: (now the Caldeans were by the citie round about) and they went by the way of the wildernes.

8 But the armie of the Caldeans purſued after the King, and tooke Zedekiah in the desert of Jericho, and al his hoſt was fleatèred from him.

9 Then they tooke the King and carped him vp vnto the King of Babel to Riblah in the lande of Hamatay, where he gaue iudge-ment vpon him.

10 And the King of Babel flewe the sonnes of Zedekiah, before his eyes: he flewe also all the princes of Judah in Riblah.

11 Then he put out the eyes of Zedekiah, and the king of Babel bounde him in chaines, and caried him to Babel, and put him in prison till the day of his death.

12 Now in the fifth moneth in the tenth daye of the moneth ( which was the nineteenth yeere of the king ) Nebuchadnezzar king of Babel) came Nebuzar-adan chief keſteward which ( as noode before the king of Babel in Jeruſalem,

13 And burnt the House of the Lorde, and the Kings house, and all the houſes of Je-ruſalem, and all the great houſes burnt hee with fire.

14 And all the armie of the Caldeans that were with the chieſe keſtward, blake down all the walles of Jeruſalem round about.

15 Then Nebuzar-adan the chieſe keſtward carped away captive certeine of the poore of the people, and the reſidue of the people that reſayed in the citie, and that were fled, and fallen to the King of Babel, with the rest of the multitude.

16 But Nebuzar-adan the chief keſtward left certeine of the poore of the land, to diſeſse the bines, and to till the land.

17 Also the pillars of biaſſe that were in the House of the Lorde, and the bales, and the biaſen Sea, that was in the House of the Lord, the Caldeans biake, and caried al the biaſſe of them to Babel.

18 The pottes also and the bebesomes, and the instruments of muſike, and the bafing, and the incense diſhes, and all the beſels of biaſſe wherewith they minifted, tooke they away.

19 And the bowles, and the alpannes, and the bafing, a the potts, and the candleſlicks, and the incense diſhes, and the cuppes, and all that was of gold, and that was of illeuer, tooke the chieſe keſtward away,

20 With the two pillars, one Sea, a twelue biaſen bulles, that were under the bales, which King Salomon had made in the House of the Lord: the biaſſe of all theſe beſels was without he weight.

21 And concerning the pillars, the height of one piller was eightene cubites, a theede of twelue cubites did compaſſe it, and the thickenes thereof was ſoure ſingers: it was holowe.

22 And a chapter of biaſſe was vpon it, and the heypht of one chapter was ſwee cubites with netwouke, a pomegranates vpon the chapiters rounde about, all of biaſſe: the ſe-conde piller also, a the pomegranates were like vnto theſe.

23 And there were ninetie and ſire pomegranates on a side : and all the pomegranates vpon the nette wouke were an hundred and fi.

24 And the chieſe keſtward tooke Sheraiah the chieſe Drief, a Zephaniah the ſecond Drief, and the three keepers of the booke.

25 He tooke also out of the citie an Eunuche, which had the ouerſight of the men of war; and ſeuen men that were in the Kings preſence, which were found in the citie. A So-pher captaine of the hoſte who muſtred the people of the land, and three ſothe men of the people.

CHAP. III.

H ow is the a gold become so "dimme? The most fine golde is changed, & the stones of the Sanctuarie are scattered in the corner of euery streete.

2 The noble men of Zion comparable to fine golde, how are they esteemed as earthen b pitchers, euen the worke of the hands of the potter!

3 Even the diagons draw out the breafts, and give suck to their yong, but the daughter of my people is become cruel like the d ostriches in the wildernes.

4 The tongue of the fucking childe cleaueth to the roofe of his mouth for thrust: the yong children alke bread, but no man breaketh it unto them.

5 They that did feede delicately, perish in the streetes: they that were brought vp in charlat, embrace the tongue.

6 For the iniquitie of the daughter of my people is become greater then the time of Sodom, that was * destroyed as in a moment, e * none pitched campes against her.

7 Her * nazarites were purer then the snow, and whiter then the milke : they were more ruddie in bodie, then * red precious stones: they were like polifhed kaphit.

8 Now their visage is blacker then a coal: they can not knowe them in the streetes: their skinne cleaueth to their bones : it is withered, like a stocke.

9 They that be slaine with the sword are better, then they that are killed with hunger: for they fade away as they were striken through for the fruits of the kieſe.

10 The hands of the pitifull women haue sodden their owne children, which were their meat in the destruption of the daughter of my people.

11 The Lord hath accomplished his indignation : he hath powred out his fierce wath, he hath kindled a fire in Zion, which hath devoured the foundations thereof.

12 The kings of the earth, and all the inha bitants of the world, would not haue be

leeued that the aduerfarie and the enemie should haue ent red into the gates of Je- rusalem:

13 For the sinnes of her Prophets, and the iniquities of her Drieſts, that haue shed the blood of the iſt in the middes of e her.

14 They haue wandied as blinde men b in the streets, and they were polluted with blood. so þ they would not touch their garments.

15 But they cried vnto them, Depart, ye polluted, depart, depart, touch not : therefore they fled away, and wandered : they haue faide among the heathen, They shall no more dwell there.

16 The anger of the Lord hath scattered them, he wil no more regard them: they reuerenced not the face of the Drieſts, nor had compassion of the Elders.

6 And every one had foure faces, and euerie one had foure wings.

7 And their feete were streight feete,and the sole of their feete was like the sole of a calues foote,and they sparkled like the appearance of bright brasse.

8 And the hands of a man came out from under their wings in the foure partes of them, and they foure had their faces, and their wings.

9 They were iopned by their wings one to another, and when they went forth, they returned not, but euerie one went streight forward.

g The wing of the one roued the wing of the other.

10 And the similitude of their faces was as h the face of man : and they foure had the face of a Lyon on the right side, and they foure had the face of a bullocke on the left side: they foure also had the face of an egle.

h Euerpe
Chernium
had foure fas-
ces, the face of
a man, and of
a lion on the
right side, and
the face of a
bullocke, and
of an eagle on
the left side.

11 Thus were their faces: but their wings were iopned out aboue: two wings of euerie one were iopned one to another, and two couered their bodies.

i Abbr. whither their spirit, or will, was to go.

12 And every one went streight forwarde: they went whither their spirit led them, and they returned not when they went forth.

13 The similitude also of the beaſts, and their appearance was like burning coles of fire, and like the appearance of lampes : for the fire ran among the beaſts, and the fire gaue a glister, and out of the fire there went ligh-
tening.

j The chieſis, who they had euer behelde God was, for so did they returne again, till God did change the state of things.

14 And the beaſts ran, and returned like un-
to lightening.

15 Now as I behelde the beaſts, beholde, a wheele appeared upon the earth by the beaſts, hauing foure faces.

k The Chieſu
world is tan
holy : mea-
ning, that the
colour was
like the Chil-
ican lea, or a
piecious home
so called.

16 The facion of the wheeleſ & their wozke was like unto a k chrysolite : and they foure had one ſo me, and their facion, and their work was as one wheele in another wheele.

17 When they went, they went upon their foure sides, and they returned not when they went.

l Of the tene.

18 They had also rings, and height, & were
feareful to beholde, and their rings were ful
of eyes, round about them foure.

19 And when the beaſts went, the wheeleſ went with them: and when they beaſts were lift vp from the earth, the wheeleſ were lift vp.

20 Whither their spirit led them, they went, and thither did the spirit of the wheeleſ lead them, and the wheeleſ were lifted vp beſides them: for the spirit of the beaſts was in the wheeleſ.

21 When the beaſts went, they went, & when they ſlood, they ſlood, and when they were lifted vp from the earth, the wheeleſ were lifted vp beſides them: for the spirit of the beaſts was in the wheeleſ.

22 And the similitude of the firmament up on the heads of the beaſts was wonderful, like unto chipfall, iopned ouer their heads a-boue.

23 And under the firmament were their wings
freight, the one toward the other: every
one had two, which couered them, & euerie
one had two, which couered their bodies.

24 And when they went forth, I heard the
noble of their ¹ wings, like the noyle of
great waters, and as the boye of the Al-
mightie, euen the boye of speache, as the
noble of an hole: and when they ſlood, they
² let downe their wings.

25 And there was a boye from the firmament, that was ouer their heads, whé they ſlood, and had let downe their wings.

26 And above the firmament that was ouer their heads, was the facion of a thone like unto a saphir stone, and upon the similitude of the thone was by appearance, as y similitude of a man above upon it.

27 And I lawe as the appearance of amber, and as the similitude of fire round about within it to looke to, euen from his lopnes upward, and to looke to, euen from his lopnes downward: I lawe as a likenes of fire, and brightnes round about it.

28 As the likenes of the bove, that is in the cloude in the day of taine, so was the appearance of the light round about.

29 This was the appearance of the similitude of the glory of the Lord : and when I lawe it, I fel upon my face, and I heard a boye of one that pake.

k The chieſis, who they had euer behelde God was, for so did they returne again, till God did change the state of things.

1 A nd he laid vnto me, Sonne of mā,
stand up upon thy feete, and I will
pake unto thee.

2 And the Spirit entred into me, when he
had spoken vnto me, a fct me vpon my feete,
so that I heard him that pake vnto me.

3 And he laid vnto me, Sonne of man, I lend thee to the children of Israel, to a rebellious nation, that hath rebelled against me: for they & their fathers hauë rebelled against me, euen vnto this very day.

4 For they are impudent children, and skife hearted: I do lend thee vnto them, & thou shall fay vnto them, Thus faith the Lord God.

5 But surelþ they will not heare, neither in deede will they ceaſe: for they are a rebellious house: yet shall they know that they hath bene a Diſphterij among them.

6 And thou ſonne of man, e feare them not, neither be afraid of their wodes, although rebels, and thomes be with thee, and thou remainest with ſorptions : feare not their wodes, nor be afraid at their looks, for they are a rebellious houſe.

7 Therefore thou shall heake my wodes
unto them: but surelþ they will not heare,
neither will they in deede ceaſe: for they are
rebellious.

8 But thou ſonne of man, heare what I ſap
unto thee: be not thou rebellious, like this
rebellious houſe: open thy mouth, and eate
that I giue thee.

g The Lord was that were the children of the house of God, and the generations against them were taken away.

9 And when I looked bp, beholde, an hande was sent unto me, and lo, a roule of a booke was therein.

10 And he spread it before me, and it was written within and without, & there was written therein, & Lamentations, & Ezioning, and wo.

CHAP. III.

The Prophet being fed with the word of God and with the commandments of the Lord, so he went unto the people that were in captivity, & the office of true numbers.

11 Dieouer he said unto me, Sonne of man, eat that thou findest: eate this roule, and go, and speake unto the house of Israel.

12 So I opened my mouth, and he gave mee this roule to eat.

13 And he said unto me, Sonne of man, cause thy belly to eat, & fill thy bowels with this roule that I give thee. Then did I eat it, & it was in my mouth as sweete as honie.

14 And he said unto me, Sonne of man, go, and enter into the house of Israel, and declare them my words.

15 For thou art not sent to a people of an unknown tongue, or of an hard language, but to the house of Israel.

16 Not to many people of an unknown tongue, or of an hard language, whose words thou canst not understand : yet if I should send thee to them, they would obey thee.

17 But the house of Israel will not obey thee: so they will not obey me: yea, all the house of Israel are impudent and stiff-hearted.

18 Beholde, I have made thy face strong to gainst their faces, and thy fothead hard against their foheads.

19 I have made thy fothead as the adamát, and harder then the flint : feare them not therefore, neither be afraid at their looks: so they are a rebellious house.

20 He said moreouer unto me, Sonne of man, receive in thine heart all my words that I speake unto thee, & heare them with thine eares,

21 And go and enter to them that are led away captives unto the children of thy people, & speake unto them, and tell them, Thus faith Æ Lord God: but surely they will not heare, neither will they in decede cease.

22 Then the spirit took me bp, and I heard behind me a noyse of a great rullish, saying, & Blessed be the glorie of the Lord out of his place.

23 I heard also the noyse of the wings of the beastes, that touched one another, and the ratling of the wheeles that were by them, even a noyse of a great rullish.

24 So the spirit lift me bp, and tooke me away and I went in bitterness, and indigition of my spirit, but the hand of the Lord was strong upon me.

25 Then I came to them that were led away captives to Tel-Abib, that dwelt by the river Chebar, and I fale where they fate, & remained there altonighed among them as seuen dapes.

16 And at the end of seuen daies, the word of the Lord came againe unto me, speaking.

17 Sonne of man, I haue made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel: therefore heare the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me.

18 When I shall say unto the wicked, Thou shall surely dye, & thou gueest not him warning; nor speakest to admonish the wicked of his wicked way, that he may live, & same wicked man shall dye in his iniquitie: but his blood will I require at thine hand.

19 But if thou warne the wicked, & he turne not from his wickednes, nor from his wicked way, he shall dye in his iniquitie, but thou hast delivered thy soule.

20 A like wife if a righteous man turne from his righteousness, and commit iniquity, I will lay a stumbling block before him, and he shall die, because thou hast not giuen him warning: he shall die in his sin, & his righteous deeds, which he hath done, shall not be remembred: but his blood will I require at thine hand.

21 Neuer the lesse, if thou admonish that righteous man, that the righteous man not, & that he doeth not sinne, he shall live because he is admonished: also thou hast delivered thy soule.

22 And the hand of the Lord was there upon me, and he saide unto me, Arise, and go into the field, and I will there take with thee.

23 So when I had risen bp, and gone forth into the field, beholde, the gloe of the Lord stood there, as the gloie which I saw by the viner Chebar, and I fel downe upon my face.

24 Then the Spirit entred into me, which let me bp upon my feete, and speake unto me, and said to me, Come, and shut thy self within thine house.

25 But thou, Sonne of man, beholde, they shall put bandes upon thee, and shall bind thee with them, and thou shall not go out among them.

26 And I will make thy tongue cleare to the rooke of thy mouth, that thou shall be dumne, & shall not be to them as a mă that rebuketh: so they are a rebellious house.

27 But when I shall haue spoken unto thee, I will open thy mouth, and thou shall say unto them, Thus faith the Lord God, He that heareth, let him heare, and he that leaueth of, & let him leaue: so they are a rebellious house.

1 A Gaine the woode of the Loſde came into me, ſaying,

2 Sonne of man, Set thy face towards the *mountaines of Israel, and priphecie againſt them,

3 And ſay, Be mountains of Israel, heare the word of the Loſde God: thus ſaith the Loſde God to the *mountaines and to the hilles, to the ruers and to the balleis, Behold, I, euен I will bring a woode vpon you, and I will deſtroy your hie places :

4 And your altars halſe delſolate, and your images of the *funne halſe be broken: and I will cast downe your ſaine men before your idoles.

5 And I will lap the dead carkeſſes of the children of Israel before their *idoles, and I will ſtatter your bones round about your altars.

6 In all your dwelling places the cities halſe delſolate, and the hie places halſe be laide waſte, so that your altars halſe bee made waſte and delſolate, and your idoles ſhal be broken, and ceaſe, and your images of the ſunne halſe be cut in pieces, and your works halſe abolished.

7 And the ſaſne shall fall in the middles of you, and þe halſe know that I am the Lord.

8 Yet will I leaue a remnant, *that you may haue ſome that shall eſcape the woode among the nations, when you halſe be ſatred through the countrie.

9 And thep that eſcape of you, shall remembe mee among the nations, where they shall be in captiutie, because I am grieued for their whoſh heartes, which haue departed from me, and for their eves, which haue gone a whozing after their idoles, a they *shall be displeaſed in them ſelues for the euil, which they haue committed in all their abominations.

10 And they hal know that I am the Lord, and that I haue not ſaide in vaine, that I

would doe this euill vnto them.

11 Thus ſaith the Lord God, *Smite with thine hand, and stretch forth with thy foot, and ſay, Alas, for all the wicked abominations of the house of Israel: for they shall fall by the word, by the ſamine, and by the peſtilence.

12 Hee that is farre of, shall die of the peſtilence, and he that is neere, shall fall by the word, and he that remaineth and is beſeged, shall die by the ſamine: thus will I accomplish my wraſh vpon them.

13 Then spe hal know, that I am the Lord, when their ſaſne men halſe among their idoles round about their altars, vpon euery hie hill in all the toppes of the mountains, and under euery greene tree, and under euery thicke oke, which is the place where they did offer kweete ſauour to all their idoles.

3 Nowe is the end come vpon thee, and I will ſend my wraſh vpon thee, a wil uſidge thee according to thy wayes, and will lay vpon thee all a thine abominations.

4 Neither shall mine epe spare thee, neither will I haue pitie: but I will lay thy wayes vpon thee: and thine abomination shall be in the middes of thee, and yee shall knowe that I am the Lord.

5 Thus ſaith the Lord God, "Beholde, one euill, euен one euill is come.

6 An end is come, the end is come, it *bawched for thee: beholde, it is come.

7 The *c morning is come vnto thee, that dwelleſt in the land: the time is come, the day of trouble is neere, and not the *counſing againe of the mountains.

8 Now I will shortly pwe out my wath vpon thee, and ſuſkil mine anger vpon thee: I will uſidge thee according to thy wayes, a will lay vpon thee all thine abominations.

9 Neither shall mine epe spare thee, neither will I haue pitie, but I will lay vpon thee according to thy wayes, and thine abominations halſe in the midds of thee, a ye halſe knowe that I am the Lord that smiteth.

10 Behold, the day, beholde, it is come: the morning is gone forth, the *c rod floriſeth: *pide hath budded.

11 Crueltie is rilen vp into a rod of wickedneſſe: none of them shall remaine, no: of their riches, no: of any of theirs, neither shall there be *b lamentation for them.

1 The word of the Lord came to me againe, ſaying,

2 Sonne of man, let thy face towarde Jeruſalem, a, and droppe thy word towarde the holy places, and prophesie against the land of Israel,

3 And ſay to the land of Israel, Thus faith the Lord. Beholde, I come against thee, & will drawe my ſword out of his ſheath, and cut off from thee both the b righteous and the wicked.

4 Seeing then that I will cut out of from thee both the righteous and wicked, therefore ſhall my ſword go out of his ſheath against all fesh from the South to the North, That all fesh may know that I the Lord haue drawne my ſword out of his ſheath, & it shall not returne any more.

5 Mourne therefore, thou ſonne of man, as in the paine of thy d reines, and mourne bitter ly before them.

7 And if they ſay unto thee, Nofere ſmest thou ? then anſwere, because of the brute : for it commeth, and euery heart shall melt, and all hands shall beake, and all mindes shall faint, and all knees shall fall away as water : beholde, it commeth, & shall be done, faith the Lord God.

8 Calaine, the word of the Lord came vnto me, ſaying,

9 Sonne of man, prophesie, and ſay, Thus faith the Lord God, ſay, A ſword, a ſword both ſharpe, and fourbithed.

10 It is harpened to make a ſore ſlaughter, & it is fourbithed that it may f glitter: how shall we reioyce for it contemneth the rod of my ſonne, as h all other trees.

11 And he hath given it to be fourbithed, that he may handle it: this ſword is ſharpe, and is fourbithed, that he may give it into the hand of the slayer.

12 Crie, and howle, ſonne of man: for this shall come to my people, and it shall come vnto all the princes of Israel: the terours of the ſword shall be upon my people: k smite therefore upon thy thigh.

13 For it is a trial, l and what shall this be, if

the ſword contemne euen the rod : It shall be no more, faith the Lord God.

14 Thou therefore, ſonne of man, prophesie, and smite hand to hand, and let the word be doubled: let the word that hath killed, returne the third time: it is the word of the great ſlaughter entring into their prynces chambers.

15 I haue brought the feare of the word into all their gates to make their heart to faint, to multiply their ruines. Ah it is made bright, and it is dressed for the ſlaughter.

16 Get thee a alone: go to right hand, or get thy ſelke to the left hand, whither thoueuet thy face turneth.

17 I will also smite mine hands together, and will cauie my wath to cease. I the Lord haue said it.

18 The word of the Lord came vnto me againe, ſaying,

19 Also thou ſonne of man, appoint thee two wayes, that the word of the kiing of Baſbel may come: both twaine shall come out of one land, and chuse a place, and chuse it in the corner of the way of the citie.

20 Appoint a way, that the word may come to Rabbath of the Ammonites, and to JUDA in Jeruſalem the strong citie.

21 And the kiing of Babel stood at the parting of the waye, at the head of the two wayes, consulting by diuination, and made his arrowes bright : he consulted with it doles, and looked in the luuer.

22 At his right hand was the diuination for Jeruſalem to appoint captaines, to open their mouth in the ſlaughter, and to lift up their boye with ſhouting, to lay engines of warre against the gates, to cast a mounte and to builde a fortresse.

23 And it shall be vnto them as a falde diuination in their fight for the others made vnto them: but he will call to remembrance their iniquitie, to the intent they should be taken.

24 Therefore thus faith the Lord God, Because ye haue made your iniquitie to be recompensed, in diſcouering your rebellion, that in all your workes your kines might appeare: because, I ſay, that ye are come to remembrance, ye shall be taken with the hande.

25 And thou a prince of Israel polluted, and wicked, whole day is come, when iniquitie shall haue an end,

26 Thus faith the Lord God, I will take away the x diademe, a take of the crowne; this shall be no more the fame : I will craft the humble, and will abate him that is he.

27 I will ouerturne, ouerturne, ouerturne it, and it shall be no more until he come, whole right it is, and I will give it him.

28 And thou, ſonne of man, prophesie, and ſay, Thus faith the Lord God to the children of Ammon, and to their blasphemie: ſay thou, I ſay, The Lord God, the Lord is drawn forth, and fourbithed to the ſlaughter, to consume, because of the glittering:

2 Now thou ſonne of man, wilt thou

a iudge, wilt thou iudge this bloodie citie: wilt thou ſhow her all her abominations?

3 Then ſay, Thus faith the Lord God, The citie ſleddeth blood in the middes of it, that her time may come, and maketh idoles a-gainst her ſelke to pollute her ſelke.

4 Thou haſt offended in thy blood, that thou haſt ſhed, and haſt polluted thy ſelke in thine idoles, which thou haſt made, and thou haſt caused thy daſes to diawe nere, a art come onto thy terine: therefore haue I made thee a reſpoch to the heathen, and a mocking to all countreys.

5 Those that be nere, and those that be farre from thee, shall mocke thee, which art bile in a name and ſore in affliction.

6 Beholde, the princes of Israel euerie one in thee was readie to his power, to ſhed blood.

7 In thee haue they despiled father and mother: in the middes of thee - haue they oppesled the ſtranger: in thee haue they dered the fatherleſſe and the widow.

8 Thou haſt despiled mine holy things, and haſt polluted my Sabbaths.

9 In thee are men that carie tales to ſhed blood: in thee are they that eat upon the mountains: in the middes of thee they commit abomination.

10 * In thee haue they discovered their father's ſhame: in thee haue they bened her that was polluted in her floures.

11 And euery one *hath committed abomination with his neighbours wife, and euere one hath wickedly defiled his daughter in lawe, and in thee hath euery man forced his owne lſer, euen his fathers daughter.

12 In thee haue they taken giftes to ſhed blood: thou haſt taken ſurie and the encrease, and thou haſt defrauded thy neighbours by extortion, and haſt forgiuen me, faith the Lord God.

13 Beholde, therefore I haue ſmitten mine handles upon thy couetouines, that thou haſt ſbed, and upon the blood, which hath bene in the middes of thee.

14 Can thine heart endure, or can thine hads be strong, in the daſes that I shall haue to do with thee? I the Lord haue spoken it, and will do it.

15 And I will scatter thee among heathen, and diverse thee in the countreys, and will cause thy filthines to cease from thee.

16 And thou haſt take thine inheritance in thy ſelke in the light of the heathen, and thou haſt know, that I am the Lord.

17 And the word of the Lord came onto me, laying,

18 Sonne of man, the house of Israel is unto me as a drosſe: all they are diſſe, and tinne, and yron, and lead in the middes of the fortnace: they are euen the drosſe of filuer.

19 Therefore, thus faith the Lord God, Because ye are all as drosſe, beholde, therefore I will gather you in the middes of Jeruſalem.

20 As they gather filuer and diſſe, and yron, and lead, and tinne into the middes of the fortnace, to blowe the fire upon it to melt it, so will I gather you in mine anger and in my wrath, and will put you there¹ and melt you.

21 I will gather you, I lay, and blowe the fire of my wrath upon you, and thou haſe melted in the middes thereof.

22 As filuer is melted in the middes of fire, fortnace, so haſt ye be melted in the middes thereof, and ye haſt know, that I the Lord haue powred out my wrath upon you.

23 And the word of the Lord came onto me, laying,

24 Sonne of man, lay onto her, Thou art the land, that is uncleane,² and not rained upon in the day of wrath.

25 There is a conspiracie of her Prophets in the middes thereof like a roaring Lyon, rauening the pray: thei haue deuoured ſoules: they haue taken the riches and precious things: they haue made her many widows in the middes thereof.

26 Her Priests haue broken my Lawe, and haue defiled mine holy things: they haue put no difference betweene the holy & province, neither diſcerned betweene the uncleane, and the cleane, and haue hid their eyes from my Sabbaths, and I am provinceed among them.

27 Her princes in * the middes thereof are like wolues, rauening * pray to ſhed blood, and to deſtroy ſoules for their owne contagious lucre.

C. H. A. P. XXIII.

Of the idolatrie of Sanaria and Jeruſalem, under the names of Aholah and Aholibah.

The word of the Lord came againe to me, laying,

Sonne of man, there were two wo-
men, the daughters of one a mother.

And they committed fornication in Egypt,
they committed fornication in their youth:
there were their breaks plesse, and there
they bruised the teates of their virginitie.

And the names of them were Aholah, the
elder, and Aholibah her sister: and they
were mine, and they bare sonnes a daugh-
ters: thus were their names. Samaria is
Aholah, and Jeruſalem Aholibah.

And Aholah plated the harlot 2 when 4 she
was mine, and she was let on fire with her
louers, to wit, with the Assyrians her neigh-
bour's,

which were clothed with blewe like, both
captaines and princes : they were all pleas-
fant yong men, and horsemen riding upon
horses.

Thus he committed her whozedome with
them, euen with all them that were the
chosen men of Aſhur, with all on whom
she doted, and defiled her selfe with all their
idoles.

Neither left she her fornications, learned
of the Egyptians: for in her youth they lap
with her, and they bruised the breaks of her
virginitie, and powed their whozedome
upon her.

Wherefore I delivered her into the hands
of her louers, euen into the hands of the Al-
lyrians, upon whom she doted.

These difcouered her fame: they tooke a
way her sonnes and her daughters, ſtowe
her with the swoode, and she had an euil
name among women: for they had execu-
ted iudgement upon her.

And when her sister Aholibah sawe this,
she marred her selfe with inordinate loue,
more then she, and with her fornications
more then her sister with her fornications.

She doted upon the Assyrians her neigh-
bour's, both captaines and princes clothed
with diuers lutes, horsemen riding upon
horses: they were all pleasant yong men.

Then I saw that she was defiled, and that
they were both after one ſon,

And that she encreased her fornications:
for when she saw men s painted upon the
wall, the images of the Caldeans painted
with vermilion,

And girded with giedels upon their loines,
and with dyed attyrie upon their heads (loo-
king all like princes after the maner of
the Babylonians in Caldea, the lande of their
natuitie)

Allone, I lay, as the saſe them, she doted
upon them, and sent messengers into them
into Caldea.

Now when the Babylonians came to her
into the bed of loue, they defiled her with
their fornication, as she was polluted with
them, and her luff departed from them.

So the difcouered her fornication, and di-
cloſed her fame: then mine heart ſook
her, like as mine heart had forlaken her
sifter.

But she encreased her whozedome more,
and called to remembrance the dayes of her
youth, wherein she had played the harlot in
the land of Egypt.

For she doted upon their ſeruants whole
members are as the members of alles, and
who the illue is like the illue of hores.

Thou calledst to remembrance the wicked
nes of thy youth, when thy teates were
bruised by the Egyptians : therefore the
pappes of thy youth are thus.

Therefore, O Aholibah, thus faith the
Lord God, Beholde, I will raile by the lo-
uers against thee, from whom thine heart
is Departed, and I will bring them against
thee on euery side,

To wit, the Babylonians, and all the Cal-
deans, h Peked, and Shoah, and Koa, and
all the Assyrians with them: they were all
pleasant yong men, captaines and puneſ:
al they were valiant and renoumed, riding
upon horses.

Euen theſe shall come against thee with
charets, wagons, and wheeles, and with
a multitude of people, which shall let against
thee, buckler and chieſe, and helmet round
about: and I will leaue the puniſhment
unto them, and they shall judge thee acco-
ding to their judgements.

And I will lay mine indignation upon
thee, and they shall deale cruelly with thee:
they shall cut out of thy noſe and thine ears:
and the remnant shall fall by the swoode:
they shall carie away thy ſonnes and thy
daughters, and thy residue shall be denoured
by the fire.

They shall also strippe thee out of thy
clothes, and take away thy faire weſels.

Thus wail I make the wickednes to ceale
from thee and thy fornication out of the
lande of Egypt: to that thou shall not lift
up thine eyes into them, nor remember E-
gypt any more.

For thus faith the Lord God, Beholde, I
will deliuer thee into the hand of them, who
thou hateſt: euen into the hands of them
from whom thine heart is departed.

And they shall handle thee despitefully,
and shall take away al th k labour, and that
leave thee naked and bare, and that fame

b Exarchis, the famous citie of Tyros, whereunto all people reyaled.

c My riches and name are all increase; thus the wicked rest in their fall unto the house they have am pious fit or abusiv.

And in the eleuenty pere, in the first day of the moneth, the word of thy Lord came into me, saying,

2 Sonne of man, because that Tyrus hath sapt against Jerusalem, Aha, the gate of the people is broke: it is turned into me: for seeing the is desolate, I have repleinilhed,

Therefore thus sapt the Lord God, Behold, I come against thee, O Tyros, and I will bring up many nations against thee, as the sea mounteth up with his waves.

3 And they shall destroy the walles of Tyros and break downe her towers: I will also escape her dust from her, and make her like the toppe of a rocke.

5 Thou shall be for the spreading of nettes in the middes of the sea: for I haue spoken it, faith the Lord God, and it shall be a spoyle to the nations.

6 And her Daughters which are in the field, shall be layne by the kwayde, and they shall know that I am the Lord.

7 For thus faith in Lord God, Behold, I will bring upon Tyrus Nebuchadnezzar King of Babel, a King of Kings from the East, with horses and with charrets, with horsemen, with a multitude and much people.

8 He shall flap with the sword thy Daughters in the field, and he shall make a fort against thee, and cast a mount agapnf thee, a lift bp the buckler against thee.

9 He shall let engins of warre before him against thy walles, and with his weapons break downe thy towers.

10 The dust of his horses shall couer thee, for their multitude: thy walles shall shake at the noyfe of the horsemen, of the wheelers, and of the charrets, when he shall enter into thy gates as into the entrie of a citie that is broken downe.

11 With the hoones of his horses shall the trade downe all the streetes: he shall flap thy people by the kwayde, and the pillars of thy strength shall fall downe to the ground.

12 And they shall robbe thy riches, and people thy marchandise, and they shall break downe thy walles, and destroy thy pleasant houses, and they shall cast thy stones and thy timber and the dust into the mids of the water.

13 Thus will I cause the found of the fongs to cease, and the found of thine harpes shall be no more heard.

14 I will lape thee like the toppe of a rocke: thou shall be for a spreading of nets: thou shall be built no more: for I the Lord haue spoken it, sapt the Lord God.

16 Then all the princes of the sea shall come downe from their thrones: they shall lay away their robes, and put of their diopdered garinents, and shall clothe themselves with aponishmet: they shall fit upon the ground, and be aponished at every moment, and be amased at thee.

17 And they shall take up a lamentation for thee, say to thee, How art thou destroyed, that walt inhabited of the sea men, the renowned citie which was strong in the sea, both thee and her inhabitants, which cause their feare to be on all that haunt therein!

18 Now shall the ples be aponished in the day of thy fall: yes, the ples that are in the sea, shall be troubled at thy departure.

19 For thus faith the Lord God, when I shall make thee a desolate citie, like the cities that are not inhabited, and when I shall bring the deepe upon thee, and great waters shall couer thee,

20 When I shall cast thee downe with them that descend into the pit, with the people of old time, and shall let thee in the low parts of the earth, like the old ruines, with them, I say, which go down to the pit, so that thou shall not be inhabited, and I shall hew my glory in the land of the living,

21 I will bring thee to nothing, & thou shall be no more: though it be fought for, yet shall it never be found againe, faith in Lord God.

13 Thou haſt bin in Eden the garden of God: every precious stone was in thy garment, the rubie, the topaze and the <sup>d</sup> Diamonde, the chrysolite, the onit, and the iaper, the saphir, <sup>emeraude</sup>, and the carbuncle and golde: the wozkemanhip of thy tymbels, <sup>e</sup> of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou waſt created.

14 Thou art <sup>c</sup> the anopinted Cherub, that co-uereth, and I haue set thee <sup>f</sup> in honour: thou waſt upon the holie mountayne of God: thou haſt walked in the midds of the stones of fire.

15 Thou waſt perfite in thy wayes from the day that thou waſt <sup>h</sup> created, till iniquitie was found in thee.

16 By the multitude of thy matchandle, they haue filled the midds of thee with crueltie, <sup>g</sup> thou haſt linned: therefore I will caſt thee as zophane out of the <sup>h</sup> mountaine of God: <sup>i</sup> I will deſtroy thee, <sup>D</sup> couering Cherub from the middes of the stones of fire.

17 Thine heart was lifted vp because of thy beautit, and thou haſt coſrupted thy wife-dome by reafon of thy brightres: I wil caſt thee to the ground: I wil ape thee before Kings that they may behold thee.

18 Thou haſt deſiled thy <sup>l</sup> ſanctification by the multitude of thine iniquities, and by the iniquitie of thy marchandise: therefore I will I bring forth a fire from the middes of thee, which <sup>l</sup> haſ deuoure thee: and I will bring thee to adhes upon the earth, in the light of all them that behold thee.

22 And ſay, Thus ſayth the Lord God, Be-holde, I come against thee, <sup>D</sup> Zidon, and I will be <sup>l</sup> gloriſed in the middes of thee: and they <sup>l</sup> shall knowe that I am the Lord, when I <sup>l</sup> haue executed iudgements in her, and <sup>l</sup> haſe ſanctified in her.

23 For I will send into her pestilence, <sup>g</sup> blood into her streetes, and the slayne <sup>h</sup> shall fall in the middes of her: <sup>m</sup> the enemie shall come

25 Thus ſayth the Lord God, when I <sup>l</sup> haſ haue gathered the houſe of Iſrael from the people where they are scattered, and <sup>l</sup> haſ <sup>n</sup> ſanctified in them in the ſight of the hea-then, then <sup>l</sup> haſ they dwell in the lande, that I haue giuen to my ſeruant Jaakob.

26 And they <sup>l</sup> haſ dwell ſafely therein, and <sup>l</sup> haſ buſid houſes, <sup>g</sup> plant hineyardes: yea, they <sup>l</sup> haſ dwell ſafely, when I <sup>l</sup> haue executed iudgements upon all rounde about them that despife them, and they <sup>l</sup> haſ know that I am the Lord their God.

Be prophethet against Pharaoh and Egypt. 13 The Loode promiseth that he will reſolve Egypt after fourtie perſons. 14 Egypt is the reward of King Jareb, neſtar for <sup>h</sup> labon, which he tooke against Tyrus.

In the <sup>a</sup> tenth yeere, and in the tenth mo-neth in the twelfth daye of the moneth, the woode of the Loode came unto me, saying,

Sonne of man, let thy face against Pha-raoh the king of Egypt, <sup>g</sup> prophette against him, and against all Egypt.

Speake, <sup>ſ</sup> ſay, Thus faith the Lord God, Beholde, <sup>h</sup> I come against thee, Pharaoh King of Egypt, the great <sup>h</sup> Drag, that <sup>pe</sup> thyt in the midds of his riuers, which hath faſte, The river is mine, and I haue made it <sup>no</sup> mp ſelke.

But I will put <sup>h</sup> hooks in thy chawes, and I will cauſe the filke of thy riuers to ſicke into thy scales, and I will draw thee out of the middes of thy riuers, and all the filke of thy riuers <sup>h</sup> shall ſicke into thy scales.

And I will leaue thee in the wilderneſſe, both thee and all the filth of thy riuers: thou haſt fall upon the open field: thou haſt not bee hought together, <sup>no</sup> gathered: <sup>for</sup> I haue giuen thee for meate to the beaſtes of the field, and to the foules of the heauen.

And all the inhabitants of Egypt <sup>h</sup> shall know <sup>h</sup> I am the Lord, because they haue bene a ſtaſſe of <sup>h</sup> reede to <sup>h</sup> houſe of Iſrael.

When they tooke holde of thee with their hand, thou diſeſt breaſe, and rent all their shouldering: and when they leaned upon thee, thou braketh and madeſt all their lopnes to <sup>stand</sup> <sup>c</sup> bp right.

Therefore thus ſayth the Lord God, Be-holde, I will bring a woode upon thee, and destroy man and beaſt out of thee.

And the land of Egypt <sup>l</sup> haſe desolate, and waste, and they <sup>l</sup> shall knowe that I am the Loode: because he hath ſap, <sup>l</sup> The river is mine, and I haue made it,

Beholde, therefore I come upon thee, and upon thy riuers, and I will make the land of Egypt utterly waste and desolate from the towre of Seueth, even into the boſders of the <sup>l</sup> blacke Mozes.

Destruction of Egypt.

11 No foote of man shall palle by it, nor foote of beaft shall palle by it, neither shall it be in-habited fourtie yeres.

12 And I will make the land of Egypt desolate in the middes of the countries, that are desolate, and her cities shall be desolate among the cities that are desolate, for fourtie yeres: and I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and will disperre them through the countreys.

13 Yet thus faith the Lord God,* At the ende of fourtie yeres will I gather the Egyptians from the people, where they were scattered,

14 And I will bring againe the captiuitie of Egypt, and will cause them to returne into the land of Pathios, into the lande of their habitation, and thep shall be there a small kingdome.

15 It shall be the finalest of the kingdomes, neither shall it exalt it selfe any more above the nations: for I will diminish them, that they shall no more rule the nations.

16 And it shall be no more the confidence of the house of Israel, to bring their h iniquitie to remembrance by looking after them, so shall they know, that I am the Lord God.

17 In the seuen and twentieth yeere also in the first moneth, and in the first day of the moneth came the word of the Loode vnto me, saying,

18 Sonne of man, Nebuchadnezzar King of Babel cauſed his armie to ſerue a great k ſeruice againſt Tyius: every head was made balde, and every shoulder was made bare: yet had he no wages,¹ nor his armie for Tyius, for the ſeruice that he ſerued a-gaynſt it.

19 Thereſoſe thus ſayth the Loode God, Beholde, I will give the lande of Egypt vnto Nebuchadnezzar the King of Babel, and he shall take her multitude, and spoyle her ſpoyle, and take her praye, and it chalbe the wages for his armie.

20 I haue giuen him the land of Egypt for his labour, that he ſerued a-gaynſt it, because they wrought for me, faith the Lord God.

21 In that daye will I cauſe the home of the house of Israel to growe, and I will giue thee an open mouth in the middes of them, and thep shall know that I am the Lord.

CHAP. XXX.

The destruction of Egypt, and the cities thereof.

1 The word of the Loode came againe vnto me, saying,

2 Sonne of man, piophesie, a kay, Thus ſayth the Loode God, Houle & crye, Mo be vnto this day.

3 For the day is nere, and the day of the Lord is at hand, a cloudie daye, and it shall be the time of the heathen.

4 And the word shall come vpon Egypt, and feare shall be in Ethiopia, when the ſlayne shall fall in Egypt, when thep shall take away her multitude, and when her fundations chalbe broken downe.

5 *Ethiopia, and Dhut, and Lud, and all the common people, and Cub, and the men of the land, that is in league, shall fall with the by the word.

6 Thus faith the Lord, They also that maintaine Egypt, shall fall, and the pride of her power shall come downe: from the towne of Seueneh shall thep fal by the word, ſayth the Lord God.

7 And thep shall be desolate in the middes of the countreys that are desolate, and her cities shall be in the middes of the cities that are wafed.

8 And thep shall knowe that I am the Lord, when I haue set a fire in Egypt, and when all her helpers shall be destroyed.

9 In that day shall their messengers go forth from mee in flippes, to make the carelle Holes afraid, a feare shall come vpon them as in the day of Egypt: for lo, it commeth.

10 Thus faith the Lord God, I will also make the multitude of Egypt to ceafe by the hâde of Nebuchadnezzar King of Babel.

11 For hee and his people with him, euen the terrible nations shall be brought to destroye the land: and thep shall draw their words againſt Egypt, and fill the lande with the flayne.

12 And I will make the riuers drie, and tell the land into the hands of the wicked, and I will make the land wafle, a that there is, by the hands of Strangers: I the Lord haue spoken it.

13 Thus ſayth the Loode God, I will almoſt destroy the idoles, a I will cauſe their idoles to ceafe out of Aoph, and there shall be no more a prince of the lande of Egypt, and I will ſende a feare in the land of Egypt.

14 And I will make Pathios desolate, and will ſet fire in Zoan, and I will execute judgement in Mo.

15 And I will powre my wrath vpon Sin, which is the strength of Egypt: and I will destroy the multitude of Aoph.

16 And I will ſet fire in Egypt: Sin shall haue great Loow, and Aoph shall be destroyed, and Aoph shall haue soſowes Daply.

17 The yong men of Auen, and of Phebe, feth shall fall by the word: and thele cities shall go into captiuitie.

18 At Tehaphnebes the day shall reſtrayne his lyght, when I shall breake there the barres of Egypt: and when the pompe of her power shall ceafe in her, the cloude shall couer her, and her daughters shall goe into captiuitie.

19 Thus will I execute judgements in Egypt, and they shall know, that I am the Lord.

20 And in the eleuentye yeere, in the first moneth, and in the ſeventh daye of the moneth, the word of the Lord came vnto mee, saying,

21 Some of man, I haue broken the arme of Pharaoh King of Egypt: a lo, it shall not be bound vp to be healed, neither shall they put a rowle to binde it, a to make it strong, to holde the word.

which was a strong one of Egypt, and a strong one of the Lord God.

Pharaohs fall.

Ezekiel.

The ende of tyrants.

I will cast thee upon the open field, and I will cause all the foules of the heauen to re maine upon thee, and I will fill all the beastes of the field with thee.

And I will lay thy flesh upon the mountains, and fill the valleys with thine heayght.

I will also water with thy blood the lande wherein thou dwellest, even to the motu tames, and the rivers shall be full of thee.

And when I shall put thee out, I will co uer the heauen, and make the stars thereof darke: I will cover thy sunne with a cloude, and the moone shall not give her light.

All the lights of heauen will I make darke for thee, and bring darkenes upon the lande, layth the Lord God.

I will also trouble the hearts of many people, when I shall bring thy destruction among the nations, and upon the countreys which thou hast not knowne.

Dea, I will make many people amased with thee, and their Kings shall be asonified with feare for thee, when I shall make my word to glitter against their faces, and they shall be afraid at every moment: every man for his owne life in the day of thy fall.

For thus layth the Lord God, The Word of the King of Babel shall come upon thee.

By the words of the mightie will I caute thy multitude to fal: they all shall be terrible nations, and they shall destroy the hrome of Egypt, and all the multitude thereof shall be consumed.

I will destroy also all the beastes thereof from the great waterfides, neither shall the foot of man trouble them any more, nor the hoones of beast trouble them.

Then will I make their waters deep, and caute their rivers to runne like ople, layth the Lord God.

When I shall make the land of Egypt desolate, and the country with all that is therein, shall be layde wale: when I shall strike all them, which dwell therein, then shall they know, that I am the Lord.

This is the mourning where with them shall lament her: the daughters of the nations shall lament her: they shall lament for Egypt, and for all her multitude, layth the Lord God.

In the twelfth yere also in the fifteenth daye of the month, came the word of the Lord unto me, laying,

Sonne of man, lament for the multitude of Egypt, and cast them down, even them and the daughters of the mightie nations unto the nether partes of the earth, with them that go downe into the pit.

Whome does thy people 1 in beautie? go downe and fleepe with the vncircumciled.

They shall fall in the middes of them that are flaine by the word: he is delivered to the word: that is, he shall be her downe, and all her multitude.

The most mightie and strong shall speake to him out of the middes of he with them

that hepe her: they are gone downe and fleepe with the vncircumciled that be flame by the word.

All that are there and all his companie: their graues are about him: all they are flayne & fallen by the word.

Whose graues are made in the lande of the pit, and his multitude is rounde about his graue: all they are flayne and fallen by the word, which caused feare to be in the land of the liuing.

There is also all his multitude round about his graue: all they are flayne and fallen by the word, which are gone downe with the vncircumciled into the nether parts of the earth, which caused their flueles to be feared in the lande of the liuing, yet haue they boorne their shame with them that are gone downe to the pit.

They haue made his bed in the myddes of the flayne with all his multitude: their graues are rounde about him: all these vncircumciled are flayne by the word: though they haue caused their feare in the lande of the liuing, yet haue they boorne their shame with them that goe downe to the pit: they are layd in the middes of them, that be flayne.

There is also Belhech, Tubal, and all their multitude: their graues are rounde about them: all these vncircumciled were flayne by the word, though they caused their feare to be in the land of the liuing.

And they shall not lie with the ballant of the vncircumciled, that are fallen, which are gone downe to the graue, with their weapons of warre, and haue layed their words under their heads, but they iniquitie shall be upon their bones: because they were the feare of the myghtie in the lande of the liuing.

Dea, thou shall be broken in the middes of the vncircumciled, and lie with them that are flayne by the word.

There is Edom, his kings, and all his pittces, which with their strength are layed by them that were flayne by the word: they shall fleepe with the vncircumciled, and with them that go downe to the pit.

There be all the princes of the North, with all the Zionians, which are gone downe with the flaine, with their feare: they are ahamed of their strength, and the vn-circumciled fleepe with them that be flayne by the word, and beare their shame with them that go downe to the pit.

Pharaoh shall see them, and hee shall be comforted over all his multitude: Pharaoh, and all his armie shall flaine by the word, layth the Lord God.

For I have caused me to be in the land of the liuing: and he shall be layde in the middes of the vncircumciled with the word: that are flaine by the word, even Pharaoh and all his multitude, layth the Lord God.

a With heaps of the carkates of thine armie, e as his armie as wuerhoweth Egypt, so will I make the blood of thine downe to pure flowe, as the wordeth isnetheth to be put out as a candle is put out.

1 M Dieouer the word of the Lord came unto me, laying,

2 Sonne of man, let thy face agaynſt mount a Seir, and prophecie agaynſt it,

3 And lay into it, Thus layeth the Loode God, Beholde, O mount Seir, I come againſt thee, I will stretch out mine hande agaynſt thee, and I will make thee desolate and waste.

4 I will lay thy cities waste, and thou shall be desolate, and thou shall know that I am the Lord.

5 Because thou haſt had a perpetual hatred and haſt put the children of Israel to flight by the force of the word in the time of their calamitie, when their b iniquitie had an ende,

6 Therefore as J liue, layth the Lord God, I will prepare thee into blood, and blood shall purifie thee: except thou hate blood, euen blood shall purifie thee.

7 Thus will I make mount Seir desolate and waste, and cut of from it him that palfeth out and him that returneth.

8 And I will fill his mountains with his flame men: in thine hills, and in thy valleys and in all thy riuers shall they fall, that are flame with the word.

9 I will make thee perpetuall desolations, and thy cities shall not d returne, and ye shall know that I am the Loode.

10 Because thou haſt layde, e These two nations, e these two countreyes shall be mine, and we will posſele them (seeing the Loode was e there)

11 Therefore as J liue, layth the Loode God, I will euen do according to thy swrath, and according to thine indignation which thou haſt fled in thine hatred against them: e I will make my ſelke knowne among h them when I haue indged thee.

12 And thou haſt knowe, that J the Loode haue heard all thy blasphemies which thou haſt spoken agaynſt the mountains of Israel, laying, They lie waste, they are giuen he to be denoured.

13 Thus with your mouthes yee haue boast ed agaynſt me, and haue multiplied your words agaynſt me: I haue heard them.

14 Thus layth the Lord God, So shall al the worlde reioyce when I shall make thee desolate.

15 As thou didst reioyce at the inheritance of the house of Israel, because it was desolate, to will I do into thee: thou haſt be desolate, O mount Seir, e al Idumea wholy, and they shall know, that I am the Lord.

A Lothouon ſonne of man, prophecie vnto the mountains of Israel, and lay, We mountains of Israel, heare the word of the Lord.

17 Thus layth the Loode God, Because the a enemie hath layd agaynſt you, Aha, euen the b hie places of the worlde are ours in possession,

18 Therefore prophecie, and lay, Thus layth the Loode God, Because that they haue made you desolate, and Swallowed you vp on euery side, that ye might be a possession into the residue of the heathen, and ye are come into the lippes and c tongues of men, and into the repnoche of the people,

19 Therefore ye mountains of Israel, heare the word of the Lord God, Thus layth the Loode God to the mountains and to the hilles, to the riuers, and to the valleys, and to the waſte, and desolate places, and to the cities that are forſaken: which are popled and had in derision of the residue of the heathen that are round about.

20 Therefore thus faith the Lord God, Sure ly in the fire of mine indignation haue I spoken agaynſt the residue of the heathen, and againſt al Idumea, which haue taken my lande for their possession, with the iop of all their heart, and with diſpitefull minde to cast it out for a pray.

21 Prophecie therefore bp the land of Israel, and lay into the mountains, e to the hilles, to the riuers, and to the valleys, Thus faith the Loode God, Beholde, I haue spoken in mine indignation, e in my wrath, because ye haue suffered the c name of the heathen, Therefore thus faith the Lord God, I haue lіſt ed vp mine hande, surely the heathen that are about you, shall beare their name.

22 But you, O mountains of Israel, ye shall choose forth your branches, and bring forth your frute to my people of Israel: for they are readie to come.

23 For beholde, I come into you, and I will turne into you, and ye shall bee tilled and lowen.

24 That is, the Idumean.

25 That is, Israel, which for God's pious designes was the chiefest of all the world.

26 We are made a matter of taffe and deſtition to all the world.

12 Bea, I will cause men to walke upon you, euen my people Israel, as they shall posſesse you, and ye shall be their inheſtirance, and yee shall no more henceforth depine them of men.

13 Thus ſayth the Lord God, Because they ſay unto you, Thou land deuouere bp men, and haſt bene a waster of thy people,

14 Therefore thou shall deuoure men no more, neither waſe thy people henceforth, ſayth the Lord God,

15 Neither will I cause men to heare in thee the chame of the heathen any more, neither haſt thou beare the reſpoch of the people a ne more, neither haſt cause thy ſolence to fail any more, ſayth the Lord God.

16 Moreover the word of the Lord came unto me, ſapting,

17 Sonne of man, when the house of Israel dwelt in their owne land, they deſiled it by their owne wayes, and by their deedeſ: their way was before mee as the kiſtines of the menſtruous.

18 whereſore I powred my wath upon them, for the blood that they had shed in the lande, and for their idoles, wherewith they had polluted it.

19 And I ſcattred them among the heathen, and they were dispersed through the countreis: for according to their wayes, and according to their deedeſ, I judged them.

20 And when they entred into the heathen, whither they went, they polluted mine holy Maſe, when they ſayd of them, Theſe are the people of the Loſde, and are gone out of his land.

21 But I ſaured mine holſame which the house of Israel had polluted among the heathen, whither they went.

22 Therefore ſape unto the house of Israel, Thus ſaith the Lord God, I do not this for your ſakes, O house of Israel, but for mine holy names ſake, which yee polluted among the heathen whither ye went.

23 And I will ſanctifie my great Maſe, which was polluted among the heathen, among whom you haue polluted it, and the heathen shall knowe that I am the Loſde, ſapeth the Lord God, when I haſe ſanctified in you before their eyes.

24. For I will take you from among the heathen, and gather you out of all countreys, and will bring you into your owne land.

25 Then will I powre cleane a water upon you, and ye shall be cleane: yea, from all your kiſtinesſe, and from all your idoles will I

5 Thus sayeth the Loide God unto these bones, Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall line.

6 And I will lay fine wves upon you, a make flesh grow upon you, and couer you with skinne, and put breath in you, that ye may line, and ye shall know that I am the Lord.

7 So I prophesied, as I was commanded; and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold, there was a shaking, and the bones came together, bone to his bone.

8 And when I behelde, lo, the fine wves, and the flesh grew upon them, and above, the skinne couered them, but there was no breath in them.

9 Then said he unto me, Prophecie unto the winde: Prophecie, sonne of man, and saye to the winde, Thus sayeth the Loide God, Come from the soure, b winds, D breath, and breathe upon these flaine, that they may line.

10 So I prophesied as he had commanded me: and the breath came into them, and they lied, and stood upon their keete, an exceeding great armie.

11 Then he sayde unto me, Sonne of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel. Beholde, they say, Our bones are dyed, and our hope is gone, and we are cleane cut of.

12 Therefore prophecie, and say unto them, thus sayeth the Lord God, Beholde, my people. I will open your graues, and cause you to come out of your sepulchres, and bring you into the land of Israel,

13 And ye shall know that I am the Loide, c when I have opened your graues, D my people, and biight you up out of your sepulchres,

16 Moieouer thou sonne of man, take thee a piece of wood, and write upon it, Unto Judah, and to the children of Israel his companions: then take another piece of wood, and write upon it, Unto Joseph the tree of Ephzaim, and to all the house of Israel his companions.

17 And thou shall ioyne them one to another into one tree, and they shall be as one in thine hand.

18 And when the children of thy people shall speake unto thee, saying, Oult thou not thew us what thou meanest by these?

19 Thou shall and were them, Thus faith the Lord God, Behold, I will take the tree of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephzaim, and the tribes of Israel his fellowes, and will put them with him, euen with the tree of Judah, and make them one tree, f they shall be one in mine hand.

20 And the pieces of wood, whereon thou writest, shall be in thine hand, in their light.

21 And say unto them, Thus sayeth the Lord God, Beholde, I will take the children of Israel from among the heathen, whither they be gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring them into their owne land.

22 And I will make them one people in the land, upon the mountains of Israel, g one King shall be King to them al: as they shall be no more two peoples, neither be deuided any moie henceforth into two king domes.

23 Neither shall they bee polluted any more with their idoles, nor with their abominations, nor with any of their transgressions: but I will saue them out of all their dwelling places, wherein they haue sinned, and will enclene them: to shall they be my people, and I will be their God.

24 And David my *ferustal shall be King ouer them, and they all shall haue one shepheard: they shall also walke in my judgements, and observe my statutes, and do them.

Then went he in, and measured the postes of the entrie two cubites, and the entrie six cubites, and the breadth of the entrie seven cubites.

So he measured the length thereof twenty cubites, and the breadth twenty cubites before the Temple. And hee layde unto mee, This is the most holy place.

After, he measured the wall of the house, six cubites, and the breadth of euery chamber foure cubites rounde about the house, on euery side.

And the chambers were chamber upon chamber, threec and threitie foote high, and they entred into the wall made for the chambers which was rounde about the house, that the postes might be fastened therein, and not be fastened in the wall of the house.

And it was large and went round mounting upward to the chambers: for the staie of the house was mounting upward, round about the house: therefore the house was larger upward: so they went by from the lowest chamber to the highest by the mids.

I saw also the house he round about: the foundations of the chambers were a full reede of fire great cubites.

The thickness of the wall which was for the chamber without, was five cubites, and that which remained, was the place of the chambers that were within.

And betweene the chambers was the wideness of twenty cubites rounde about the house on euery side.

And the doores of the chambers were towarde the place that remained, one doore towarde the North, and another doore towarde the South, and the breadth of the place that remained, was five cubites round about.

Nowe the building that was before the separate place towarde the West corner, was feuentie cubites broad, and the wall of the building was five cubites thicke, round about, and the length ninety cubites.

So hee measured the house an hundred cubits long, and the separate place and the building with the walles thereof were an hundred cubits long.

Also the breadth of the forefront of the house and of the separate place towarde the East, was an hundred cubites.

And he measured the length of the building, ouer against a separate place, which was behind it, and the chambers on the one side and on the other side an hundred cubites with the Temple within, and the arches of the court.

The postes and the narrow windows, & the chambers rounde about, on three sides ouer against the postes, fielded with cedar wood round about, from the grounde by to the windowes, and the windowes were fielded.

And from aboue the doore into the inner house and without, and by all the wall

round about within and without it was fielded according to the measure.

And it was made with Cherubims and palme trees, so that a palme tree was betweene a Cherub and a Cherub: and euery Cherub had two faces.

So that the face of a man was towarde the palme tree on the one side, and the face of a lion toward the palme tree one the other side: thus was it made through all the house round about.

From the grounde into aboue the doore were Cherubims and palme trees made as in the wall of the Temple.

The postes of the Temple were squared, and thus to looke into was the similitude & forme of the Sanctuarie.

The altar of wood was three cubites he, and the length thereof two cubites, & the corners thereof and the length thereof and the fides thereof were of wood. And he faide into me, This is the table that shall be before the Lord.

And the Temple and the Sanctuarie had two doores.

And the doores had two wickets, euen two turning wickets, two wickets for one doore, and two wickets for another doore.

And upon the doores of the Temple there were made Cherubims and palme trees, like as was made upon the walles, & there were thicke plankes upon the forefront of the porche without.

And there were narrow windows a palme trees on the one side, and on the other side, by the fides of the porch, and upon the fides of the house, and thicke plankes.

Of the chambers of the Temple for the Pilasters, and the walpe things.

Then brought he mee into the bitter court by the way toward the North, and hee brought me into the chamber that was ouer against the separate place, and which was before a building towarde the North.

Before the length of an hundred cubites, was the North doore, and it was fifty cubites broade.

Duer against the twenty cubites which were for the inner court, and ouer against the panement, which was for the bitter court, was chamber against chamber in three rowes.

And before the chambers was a gallery of ten cubites wide, & within was a way of one cubite, and their doores towarde the North.

Now the chambers aboue were narrow ev: for those chambers seemed to eat by the se, to wit, the lower, and those that were in the middes of the building.

For they were in three rowes, but had not pillers as the pillers of the court: therefoe there was a difference from them be- neath and from the middlemost, euen from the

7 And the wall that was without outer a-gaint the chabers,toward the utter court on the forefront of the chambers, was fiftie cubits long.

8 For: the length of the chambers that were in the utter court, was fiftie cubites: and lo, before the Temple were an hundred cubits.

9 And under these chambers was the entry, on the East side, as one goeth into them from the outward court.

10 The chambers were in the thickenesse of the wall of the court toward the East, ouer against the separate place; a outer against the building.

11 And the way before them was after the manner of the chambers, which were to-warde the North, as long as they, and as broad as they: and all their entries were like, both according to their facions, & according to their doones.

12 And according to the doones of the cham-bers that were toward the South, was a doone in the corner of the way, eueth the way directly before the wall towarde the East, as one entreat.

13 Then said he into me, The North cham-bers and the South chambers which are before the separate place, they be holy ch-bers, wherein the Priestes that approach unto the Loode, shall eate the most hooly things: there shall they lay the most hooly things, and the meate offering, & the linne offering, and the treshalle offering: for the place is holl.

14 When the Priestes enter therein, they shall not goe out of the holl place into the utter courte, but there they shall lay their garments wherein they minister: for they are holl, and shall put on other garments, and so shall approach to those things, which are for the people.

15 Now when he had made an ende of mea-suring the inner house, hee brought mee soothly towarde the gate whose prospect is toward the East, and measured it rounde about.

16 He measured the East side with the mea-suring rod, five hundred reedes, euen with the measuring reed round about.

17 He measured also the North side, five hundred reedes, euen with the measuring reed round about.

18 And he measured the South * side five hundred reedes with the measuring reed.

19 He turned about also to the West side, & measured five hundred reedes with the measuring reede.

20 He measured it by the soure sides: it had a wall rounde about, five hundred reedes long, and five hundred broade to make a separation betweene the Sanctuarie, and the piophane place.

### CHAP. XLIII.

* Before the glory of God going into the Temple, from whence it was before departed, 7 He immediately the oblasture of the chils

bien of Israel for the which they were confined and brought to thought. 9 He is commanded to call them againe to repentance.

A Afterward he brought me to the gate, euen the gate that turneth towarde the East.

And behold, the glory of the God of Isra-el came from out of the East, whole vopce was like a noile of great waters, and the earth was made light with his glorie.

And the vifion which I saw was * like the vifion, euen as the vifion that I saw * where I came to destroy the citie: and the vifions were like the vifion that I saw by the river Chebar; and I fell upon my face.

4 And the b glorie of the Loode came into the house by the way of the gate, whose prospect is toward the East.

5 So the Spirit tooke me vp & brought me into the inner court, and beholde, the glorie of the Lord filled the house.

6 And I heard one speaking into mee out of the house: and there stood a man by me,

7 Which said into me, Sonne of man, this place is my thione, and the place of the soles of my feete, where as I will dwell among the children of Israel for euener, and the house of Israel shall no more * defile mine holy Name, neither they, nor their Kinges by their formation, nor by the carkeilles of their Kinges in their highes places.

8 Albeit they let their threetholdes by my threetholdes, and their poites by my poites (for there was but a wall betweene me and them ) yet haue they defiled mine holie Name with their abominations, that they haue committed: wherefore I haue condued them in my wiz shut.

9 Nowe therefore let them put away their formation, & the carkeilles of their Kinges farre from mee, and I will dwell among them for euener.

10 C Thou sonne of man, chewe this House to the house of Israel, that they may be a-hamed of their wickednesse, & let the mea-sure the paterne.

11 And if they be a-hamed of all that they haue done, chewe them the soune of the house, & the paterne thereof, and the going out thereof, and the coming in thereof, and the whole facion thereof, and all the ordinances thereof, and all the figures thereof, and all the lawes thereof: & write it in their sight, that they may keepe the whole facion thereof, and all the ordinances thereof, and do them.

12 This is the * description of the house, It shall be upon the top of the mount: all the lites thereof rounde about shall bee moste holl. Beholde, this is the description of the house.

13 And these are the measures of the Altar, after the cubits, the cubite is a cubite, and an hand breadth, euen the bottome: *halbe a cubite, and the breadth a cubite, and the border thereof by the edge thereof rounde about.

Ver. 17. The middle of both sides A, which was a cubit, was a cubit in the E. C. and a cubite b o a b D.

Ver. 1. So that the wall for the chanss be before the untarde court and the wall of the inner court, euen after the fiftie cubits, and the whole court an hundred cubits. 2. Under these chabers were tapes, or from one place to another, which are in the citie, but in the great figure. 3. The chabers of the East court M were lorne to the chabers of the South court.

Ver. 1. Which chanss were into the East gate toward the South and South; and toward the separate place of both built-ging, which chabers are called holl, because they were by the Temple.

Ver. 14. The lower piece which lateth on the bottome and is the nubbles of the piece and under the bracte, is two cubits D.E. The breadth one cubite E.F.

From the little piece which was the feast, to the hept foure cubites F.G.

Ver. 16. Length and breadth G.H.IK. which note also the 4 homes of the altar.

Ver. 17. The frame whereon the hept piece floateth, is 12 cubites for on every side it is longer by a cubite then the uppermost E.L.L.M.

14 And from the bottome which toucheth the grounde to the lower piece chalbe two cubits, and the breadth one cubite, from the little piece to the great piece chalbe foure cubits, and the breadth one cubite.

15 So the altar chalbe foure cubits, from the altar bpward chalbe foure homes.

16 And the altar chalbe twelue cubits long, and twelue broad, and foure square in the foure corners thereof.

17 And the frame chalbe foureteene cubits long, a foureteene broad in the foure square corners thereof, a the border about it chalbe halfe a cubite, a the bottome thereof chalbe a cubite about, and the steppes thereof chalbe turned toward the Calf.

18 And he fayd unto me, Sonne of man, thus faith the Lord God, These are the ordinances of the altar in the day when they shall make it to offer a burnt offering thereof, and to l)yinkle blood thereon.

19 And thou shall give to the Duest s, and to the Leuites, that be of the feede of Zadok, which approach unto me, to minister unto me, faith the Lorde God, a yong bullocke for a linne offering.

20 And thou shall take of the blood thereof, put it on the foure homes of it, and on the foure corners of the frame, and upon the border round about : thus shall thou cleane it, and reconcile it.

21 Thou shall take the bullocke also of the linne offering, and burne it in the appointed place of the house without the Sanctuary.

22 But the second day thou shall offer an hee goat without blemish for a linne offering, they shall cleane the altar, as they did cleane it with the bullocke.

23 When thou halt made an end of clening it, thou shall offer a yong bullocke without blemish, and a ram out of the flocke without blemish.

24 And thou halt offer them before the Lorde, the Duests shall cast salt upon the, and they shall offer them for a burnt offering into the Lord.

25 Seven dayes shall thou prepare euerye day an hee goate for a linne offering: they shall also prepare a young bullocke and a ram out of the flockes, without blemish.

26 Thus shall they seuen dayes purifie the altar, and cleane it, and: confeerate it.

27 And when these dayes are expired, upon the eight day and to forth, the Duests shall make your burnt offerings upon the altar, and your peace offerings, and I will accept you, faith the Lorde God.

1 Then he brought me toward the gate of the outwarde Sanctuary, which turneth towards the Calf, it was shut.

Ver. 23. The gate is in the great figure.

2 Then said the Lorde unto me, This gate shall be shut, & shall not bee opened, and no man shall enter by it, because the Lorde God of Israel hath entred by it, and it shall be shut.

A Meaning, that the gate is shut, because the Lorde God of Israel hath entered by it, and it shall be shut, is to be understood from the beginning, and from the end.

3 It appertairneth to the Prince: the Prince him selfe, shall fit it to eate bread before the Lorde: he shall enter by the way of the poirhe of that gate, and shall go out by the way of theame.

4 Then brought he me toward the North gate before the House: as when I looked, beholde, the glory of the Lorde filled the house of the Lorde, as I fell upon my face. And the Lorde said unto me, Sonne of man, marke well, and beholde with thine eyes, and heare with thine eares, all that I say unto thee, concerning all the ordinances of the house of the Lorde, and all the laws thereof, and marke well the entring in of the house with euery going forth of the Sanctuary.

2 Cor. 13. 4.

5 And thou shall tap to therebellious, euen to the house of Israel, Thus faith the Lorde God, O house of Israel, ye haue enough of all your abominations.

6 Seeing, that yee haue brought into my Sanctuary strangers, vncrecimicled in heart, and vncrecimicled in flesh, to be in my Sanctuary, to pollute mine house, when ye offer my bread, euen fat, a blood, and they haue broken my couenant, because of all your abominations.

2 Cor. 13. 5-7.

7 For ye haue not kept the ordinances of mine holpe thinges: but you your felles haue set other to take the charge of my Sanctuary.

2 Cor. 13. 8-9.

Thus faith the Lorde God, a stranger vncrecimicled in heart, nor vncrecimicled in flesh, shall enter into my Sanctuary, of any stranger that is among the children of Israel,

8 Neither yet the Leuites that are gone backe from me, when Israel went astray, which went astray from me after their doles, but they shall beare their iniquitie.

11 And they shall ferue in my Sanctuary and keepe the gates of the House, and must in the House: they shall slay the burnt offering and the sacrifice for the people: and they shall stande before them to ferue them.

Tus layth the Lord God, The gate of the inner court, that turneth towarde the East, shall be shut the live working dayes: but on the Sabbath it shall be opened, and in the daye of the newe moone it shall be opened.

Ver<sub>1</sub>: The newe court gate Q whereon they went by eight days, as appeareth in the great figure.

And the prince shall enter by the way of the porche of that gate without, and shall stande by the post of the gate, and the Driests shall make his burnt offering, and his peace offerings, and he shall worship at the thirteenth of the gate: after, he shall go forth, but the gate shall not be shut till the euening.

Likewise the people of the lande shall worshippe at the entrye of this gate before the Lo<sub>1</sub>d on the Sabbaths, and in the newe moones.

And the burnt offering that the prince shall offer vnto the Lo<sub>1</sub>d on the Sabbath day, shall be five Lambes without blemilhe, and a ramme without blemilhe.

And the meat offering shall be an Ephah for a ramme: as the meat offering for the Lamb<sub>2</sub> a gift of his hand, and an hin of ople to an Ephah.

And he shall prepare a meate offering, euen an Ephah for a bullocke, and an Ephah for a ramme, and for the Lamb<sub>3</sub> according as his hande shall bring, and an hin of ople to an Ephah.

And when the prince shall enter, he shall goe in by the way of the porche of that gate, and he shall go forth by the way thereof.

But when the people of the land shall come before the Lo<sub>1</sub>d in the Solemne feasts, he that entreeth in by the way of the North gate to worship, shall go out by the way of the South gate: and he that entreeth by the way of the South gate, shall go forth by the way of the North gate: he shall not returne by the way of the gate whereby he came in, but they shall go forth ouer against it.

Ver<sub>2</sub>: Be that entreeth in by the South gate, shall go out by the North gate d. and contrary, and in going forward they shall be in the newe Mo.

10 And the prince shall be in the mids of them: he shall go in when they go in, as when they go forth, they shall go forth together.

11 And in the feasts, and in the solemnities the meat offering shall be an Ephah to a bullocke, and an Ephah to a ramme, and to the Lambes, the gift of his hande, and an hin of ople to an Ephah.

12 Nowe when the prince shall make a free burnt offering of peace offerings freely vnto the Lord, one shall then open him the gate, that turneth towarde the East, and he shall make his burnt offering and his peace offerings, as he did on the Sabbath day: after, he shall go forth, and when he is gone forth, one shall shut the gate.

1 J
a the first yere of Darius the londe of
A halahueroth, of the feede of the Medes,
which was made king ouer the realme
of the Caldeans,

3 Even in the first yere of his reigne, J Danil
el understood by books the number of the
peres, whereof the Lord had spoken unto
Jeremiah the Prophet, that he would ac-
complish leuentie peres in the defolation of
Jerusalem.

4 And I turned my face unto the Lord God,
and sought by prayer and supplications
with fasting and fackecloth and ashes.

5 And I prayed vnto the Lord my God, and
made my confession, saying, O Lord God,
which art great and fearfull, and keepeſt
couenant and mercy toward them which
love thee, and toward them that keepe thy
commandements,

6 We have finned, and have committed ini-
quitye haue done wickedly, yea, we haue
rebelled, and have departed from thy pre-
cepts, and from thy judgements.

7 For we would not obey the ſeruants the
Diophets, which spake in thy Name to our
Kings, to our princes, and to our fathers, to
all the people of the land.

8 D' LORD, righteousnes beareth vnto thee,
and vnto vs open thame, as appeareth this
day vnto every man of Judah, and to the
inhabitants of Jerusalem: pea, vnto al Jc-
rael, both neere and farre of, through all the
countrie, whither thou hast druen them,
because of their offences, that they have co-
mitted against thee.

9 Yet compassion and forgiveness is in the
Lord our God, albeit we have rebelled a-
gainst him.

10 For we have not obeyed the boyce of the
Lord our God, to walke in his lawes,
which he had laide before vs, by the minu-
tie of his ſeruants the Prophets.

11 Pea, al Israel haue tranſgreſſed thy Law,
and are turned backe, and haue not heard
thy boyce: therefore the curle is powd
upon vs, and the othe that is written in the
law of Moſes the ſeruant of God, because
we have finned against him.

12 And he hath confirmed his words, which
he spake against vs, and against our judges
that 'udged vs, by bringing bpö vs a great
plague: for under the whole heauen hath
not bene the like, as hath bene brought bpö
Jerusalem.

13 All this plague is come upon vs, as it is
written in the Lawe of Moſes: yet made
we not our prayer before the Lord our God,
that we might turne from our iniquities
and understand the trueth.

14 Therefore hath the Lord made readie
the plague, and brought it upon vs: for the
Lord our God is righteous in al his workes
which he doeth: for we woulde not hear
his boyce.

15 And now, O Lord our God, that haf
brought the people out of the land of Egypt
with a mightie hand, and haſt gotten thee
renoume, as appeareth this day, we haue
finned, we have done wickedly.

16 O LORD, according to all thy k
righteouſes, I beleech thee, let thine anger and thy
woath be turned away from thy citie Jeru-
salem thine holy mountaine: for because of
our finnes, and for the iniquities of our
fathers, Jerusalem and thy people are a re-
proche to all that are about vs.

17 Now therefore, O our God, heare the
prayer of thy ſeruant, and his supplications,
and cauſe thy face to ſhine upon the Sa-
ncetuarie, that lyeth wakle for the Mol
leses false.

18 O my God, encline thine eare and heare:
open thine eyes, and beholde our defolati-
ons, and the citie whereupon the Name is
called: for we do not preſent our supplica-
tions before thee for our own righteouſes,
but for thy great tender mercies.

19 O LORD, heare, O LORD, foſgine, O LORD
consider, and do it: deferre not, for thine
owne false, O my God: for thy Name is
called upon thy citie, and upon thy people.

20 And whiles I was speaking and pray-
ing, and confecting my finne, and the finne
of my people Israel, and did preſent my ſup-
plication before the Lord my God, for the
holy Mountaine of my God,

21 Pea, while I was speaking in prayer, e-
uen the man Gabriel, whome I had seene
before in the vifion, came flying, and tou-
ched me about the time of the euening obla-
tion.

22 And he inſomne me, and talked with me,
and faide, O Daniel, I am nowe come
forth to give thee knowledge and under-
standing.

23 At the beginning of thy supplications the
commandment came forth, I am come
to the ſeuen thee, for thou art greatly beloved;
therefore vnderstand the matter and con-
der the vifion.

24 Seuente weekes are determined upon
the people, and upon thine holy citie, to
ſinſh the wickednes, and to keale by the
finnes, and to reconcile the iniquities, and
to bring in euerlaſing righteouſes, and to

24 The wildome of a learned man commeth

ceaseth from his owne matters and labour,

25 Howe can he get wurdome that holdeth the

goade, and in driving oren, and is occupied in
their labours, and talketh but of the bzeed of
bullockes?

26 He giueth his minde to make sozowes, and
is diligent to giue the kine fodder.

27 So is it of euere carpenter, and workema-
ster that laboureth night and dape: and they
that cut, and grauekeales, and make fundzie
duerities, and giue them selues to counter-
fait imagerie, a watch to performe the worke.

28 The Smith in like manner abideth by his an-
till, and doeth his diligenceto labour the zon:
the vapour of the fire dieth his selfe, and
hee must fight with the heat of the foznace:
the nope of the hammer is euer in his cares,
and his eyes looke still upon the thing that
hee maketh: hee fetteth his minde to make vp
his workes: therefoe he watcheth to pollish
it perfectly.

29 So doeth the potter sit by his worke: the tur-
neth the wheelc about with his fecte: he is
carefull alwaye at his worke, and maketh his
worke by number.

30 He facioneth the clap with his arme, & with
his fecte he tempereth the hardnes thereof: his
heart imagineth howe to couer it with lead, &
his diligence is to clenste the ouen.

5 Moath and emic, trouble, and vnquietnes, and feare of death, and rigour, and strike, and in the time of rest the sleepe in the night upon his bed, change his knowledge.

O Death, howe bitter is the remembrance of thee to a man that lieth at rest in his postleſions, unto the man that hath nothing to vexe him, and that hath propertie in all things: yea, unto him that yet is able to re cause meate!

Of death.

O Death, howe acceptable is thy iudgement into the neeſtfull, unto him whole krengh, faileth, and that is now in the last age, and is vered with all things, and to him that deſpateth, and hath lost patience!

Feare not the iudgement of death: temem ber them that haue bene before thee, and that come after: this is the ordinance of the Loide ouer all fleth.

And why wouldst thou be againſt the pleasure of the moſt High: whether it be tenne or an hundred, or a thousand peres, there is no defence for life againſt the graue.

The children of the vngodlie are abonit- nable children, and so are they that keepe com- panie with the vngodlie.

The inheritance of vngodlie children shall perill, and their posteritie shall haue a perpe- tuall fame.

The children complapne of an vngodlie father, because they are reſpoched for his fake.

We be into you, O ye vngodlie, which haue for ſaken the Lawe of the moſt high G D: for though you inereale, yet ſhall you perſis-

If ye bee boorne, ye halbe boorne to curſing: if ye die, the curse shall be your poſition.

10 * All that is of the earth, shall turne to earth againe: to the vngodlie go from the curse to destruction.

11 Though men mourne for their bodye, yet the wicked name of the vngodlie shall be put out.

12 Haue regarde to thy name: for that shall continue with thee above a thousand trea- sures of golde.

13 A good life hath the dapes numbred: but a good name endureth euert.

15 A man that hideth his foolishnes, is better than a man that hideth his wildome.

16 Therefore beare reverencce vnto my words: for it is not good in all things to be alshamed: neither are all things allowed as faithfull in all men.

Of chame falnes,

17 Be alshamed of whoredome before father and mother: bee alshamed of lies before the prince and men of authority.

18 Of sinne before the judge and ruler : of offence before the congregation and people: of vnrightcounnes before a companion and friend,

19 And of theft before the place where thou dwellest, and before the trueth of God and his covenant, and to leane with thine elbowes upon the bread, or to be reproued for giving or taking,

*Or, stable.

20 And of silence vnto them that salute thee, to looke upon an harlot,

21 And to turne away thy face from thy man: or to take away a portion of a gift, or to be cuill minded toward an other man's wife,

22 Or to sollicite any man's mayde, or to stand by her bed, or to reprouche thy friendes with words.

23 Or to upbaze de when thou giuest any thing, or to report a matter that thou hast heard, or to reueile secret words.

1 The Lawe of God must be taught, 9 A daughter, 14 A woman, 18 God knoweth all things, peacenuen the secret of thine heart.

I In what thinge we ought not to be allus med.

Of these things bee not thou alshamed, neither haue regarde to offende for any person:

2 Of the Lawe of the most High and his covenant, and of judgement to justify the godlie:

3 Of the cause of thy companion, and of strangers, or of distributing the heritage among friends:

4 To bee diligent to keepe true balance, and weight, whether thou haue much or little:

5 To sell marchandise at an indifferent price, and to correct thy children diligently, and to beate an cuill servant to the bloud:

6 To let a good looke where an cuill wife is, to looke where many hands are:

7 If thou give any thing by number, a weight, to put all in writing, both that that is given out, and that that is received againe:

8 To teach the vnlearned, and the vnwife, and the aged, that contende against the pong: thus that thou be well instructed, and approued of all men living.

*or, as a father watch so the father.

9 The daughter maketh her father to watch secretly, and the carefulnes that he hath for her, taketh away his flece in the pouthe, least thee should palle the power of her age: and when she hath an husband, least shee should be hated:

10 In her virginitie, least shee should be defiled, or gotten with childe in her fathers house, and, when she is with her husband, least shee

misbehaue her selfe: and when she is married, least she continue unfrutefull.

11 If thy daughter be vnnamefull, keepe her straitlie, least shee cause thine enemies to laugh thee to scorne, and make thee a common taile in the citie, and diſkame thee among the people, and bring thee to publike ſhame.

12 Behold not euerie bodies beautie, and compamine not among women.

13 For as the moth commeth out of garments: so doeth wickednes of the woman.

14 The wickednes of a man is better then the good intreatie of a woman, to wit, of a woman that is in fame, and reprouche:

15 I will remember the works of the Lord, and declare the thing that I haue seene: by the word of the Lord are his words.

16 The funne that thineth, looketh upon all things, and all the workke thereof is full of the glorie of the Lord.

17 Hath not the Lord appointed that his Saints ſhoulde declare all his wonderful works, which the almightie Lord hath stablished to confirme all things by his maieſtie:

18 He seeketh out the depth, and the heart, and hee knoweth their practises: for the Lord knoweth all science, & he beholdeth the signs of the world.

19 He declareth the things that are past, and for to come, and diſtoſeth the paths of things that are secret.

20 No thought may escape him, neither may any Word be hid from him.

21 Hee hath garniſhed the excellent works of his wildome, and he is from everlaſting to everlaſting, a ſo ever: vnto him may nothing be added, neither can he be miniſhed: he hath no neede of any counſeler.

22 Oh, how delectable are all his works, to be considered euen vnto the sparkes of fyze!

23 They live al, and endure ſo ever: and when ſo ever neede is, they are all obedient.

24 They are all double, one against another: he hath made nothing that hath any faute.

claration of the time, & a ligne for the world.

7 *The feasts are appointed by the moon: the light thereof diminisheth unto the end.

8 The moneth is called after the name thereof, and groweth wonderously in her changing.

9 It is a campe pitched on high, thining in the firmament of heauen: the beautie of heauen are the glories of barres, and the ornament that thineath in the high places of the Lord.

10 By the commandement of the Holy one they continue in their order, and kaple not in their watche.

11 C\*Looke upon the raine boorne, and praise him that made it: verie beautifull is it in the brightnes thereof.

12 *It compaitheth the heauen about with a glorious circle, and the hands of the most High haue bended it.

13 C\*Through his commandement he maketh the knowe to haſte, a ſendeth twiflly the lighting of his judgement.

14 Therefore he openeth his treasures, and the cloudslie ſo forth as the koules.

15 In his power hath hee strengthened the clouds, and broken the hailstones.

16 The mountains leape at the light of him: Southwindeth bloweth according to his will.

17 The found of his thunder beaketh the earth: so doth the storme of the North: the whirlewinde also, as birds that die, scattereth the knowe, and the falling down thereof is as the gralsoppers that light downe.

18 The eye marneileth at the beautie of the whitenes thereof, and the heart is astonished at the raine of it.

19 He also powzeth out the froſt upon the earth like salt, and when it is kroſen, it sticketh on the toppes of pales.

20 When the colde North winde bloweth, an yce is kroſen of the water, it abideth upon all the gatherings together of water, & clotheth the waters as with a heaſtplate.

21 It denoureth the mountaines, and burneth the wildernes, and deſtropeth that that is greene, like fire.

22 The remedis of all these is when a cloude commeth hafily, and when a dewe commeth upon the heat, it reſeeth it.

23 [By his wozde he stilleth the winde:] by his countell he appeaketh the deepe, and planteth planðes therein.

24 Thep that faile ouer the sea, tell of the perils thereof, and when we heare it with our cares, we marneile thereat.

25 For there be strange, & wonderous workes, diuers maner of beaſtes, and the creation of whales.

26 Through him are all things directed to a good end, and are stablished by his word.

27 And when we haue spoken much, we can not atteine unto them: but this is the lumme of all, that he is all.

28 What power haue we to praiske him: for he is above all his workes.

29 The Lord is terrible, and verie * great, and in maruclous is his power.

30 Praise the Lord, and magniſe him as much as ye can, yet doeth he farre exceed: craft him with all your power, and bee not wearie, yet can ye not attaine to it.

31 *Who hath keene him, that he might tell vs; John 1.13, and who magniſe him as he is; pfaſ, 106.2.

32 For there are hid yet greater things then these be, and we have keene but a fewe of his workes.

33 For the Lord hath made all things, and giue wildome to such as keare God.

*They governed the people by countell and by the knowledge of learning meete for the people, in whose doctrine were wife lentelles.

They invented the melodie of muſike, & expounded the verſes that were written.
They were riche and mightie in power, and liued quietly at home.

All these were honourable men in their generations, and were well repor ted of in their times.

There are of them that haue left a name behinde them, so that their praise shall bee spoken of.

There are some also which haue no memorial, *and are perſaithed, as though they had neuer bene, and are become as though they had neuer bene boorne, and their children after them.

10 But the former were mercifull men, whose rightcouſues hath not bene forgotten.

11 For whose posteritie a good inheritance is reſerued, and their ſeede is contein'd in the couenant.

12 Their ſtocke is contein'd in the couenant, & their posteritie after them.

14 Their bodies are buried in peace, but their name lieth for euermoore.

7 They compassed me on euerie side, and there was no man to helpe me: I looked for the succour of men, but there was none.

8 Then thought I upon thy mercie, Of Loode, and upon thine actes of old, how thou deliuerest such as waite for thee, & fauREST them out of the hands of the enemies.

9 Then lifted I up my prayer from the earth, and prayed for deliuerance from death.

12 And that God would give vs strength and lighten our eyes, that we may live vnder the shadowe of Abuchodonofoz lying of Babylon, and vnder the shadow of Baltatar his sonne, that we may long do them seruice, and findFAVOUR in their light.

16 And to our Kings, and to our Princes, and to our Princes, and to our Prophets, and to our fathers,

Dan.9.5.

17 Because we haue * sinned before the LoRD our God,

18 And haue not obeyed him, neither hearkened vnto the vocation of the LoRD our God, to walke in the commandemcntes that he gave vs opencly.

19 From the day that the LoRD brought our fathers out of the land of Egypt, euen vnto this day, we haue bene disobedient vnto the LoRD our God, and we haue bene negligent to heare his viooe.

Deut.28.

20 Wherefore these plagues are come vpon vs, and the curse which the LoRD appointed by Moyses his seruant at the time he brought our fathers out of the lande of Egypt, to give vs a land that floweth with milke and honie, as appeareth this day.

21 Neuerthelesse, we haue not hearkened vnto the vocation of the LoRD our God, according to al the words of the Prophets, whom he sent vnto vs.

22 But every one of vs followed y wicked imagination of his owne heart, to serve strange gods, and to do euill in the light of the LoRD our God.

1 The Jewes confess that they luffer euill for their sinnes. The true conversion of the Heathens. 11 The Jewes before to have the lym of God turned from them, 12 Jeuonieith that he will call againe people from captiuitie, and give them a newe and enierating Tentaunent.

1 Herefore the LoRD our God hath perforeamed his word, which he pronounced against vs, & against our judges that goerned Israel, & against our kings, & against our Princes, & against the men of Israel and Juda,

2 To bring vpon vs great plagues, such as never came to palle vnder the whole heauen, as

they that were done in Jerusalem, according to things, that were written in the Lawe of Moyses,

That some among vs should * eate the fleshe of his owne sonne, & some the flesh of his owne daughter.

Moreover, hee hath deliuered them to be in subjection to all the kingdomes, that are round about vs, to be as a reproche and delolation among all the people rounde about where the Lord hath scattered them.

Thus they are brought beneath and not above, because we haue sinned against the LoRD our God, and haue not heard his vioee.

* To the LoRD our God appearteineth righteousnes, but vnto vs and to our fathers open name, as appeareth this day.

Chap.2.15

For al these plagues are come vpon vs, which the LoRD hath pronounced against vs.

Yet haue we not præced before the LoRD, that we might turne euery one from the imaginations of his owne wicked heart.

So the LoRD hath watched ouer the plagues, and the LoRD hath brought them vpon vs: for the LoRD is righteous in al his works, which he hath commanded vs.

Yet we haue not hearkened vnto his vioee, to walke in the commandemments of the LoRD that he hath given vnto vs.

* And now, the LoRD God of Israel, that hight brought thy people out of the lande of Egypt with a mightie hande, and an hee arme, and with lignes, and with wonders, with great power, and haft gotté thy selfe a Name, as appeareth this day,

Dan. 9.15.

12 The LoRD our God, we haue sinned: we haue done wickedly: we haue offended in all thine ordinances.

13 Let thy wath turne from vs: for we are but a fewe left among the heathen, where thou haft scattered vs.

14 Weare our prayers, the LoRD, and our petitions, and deliuer vs for thine owne sake, & give vs favour in the fight of them, which haue led vs away,

15 That all the earth may know that thou art the LoRD our God, and that thy Name is called vpon Israel and vpon their posteritie.

16 Therefore looke down from thine holy Temple, and thinke vpon vs: encline thine ear, O LoRD, and heare vs.

17 * Open thine eyes, and behold: for the dead that are in the graues, & whole foules are out of their bodies, * give vnto the LoRD neither praise, nor rightcousnes.

19 For we do not require mercie in thy light, O LoRD our God, for the rightcousnes of our fathers, or of our Kings.

21 Thus saith the Lord, Bowe dovone your shoulders, and serve the King of Babylon : to shall ye remaine in the lande, that I haue unto your fathers.

22 But if ye will not heare the boye of the Lord, to serve the King of Babylon,

23 I will cause to cease in the cities of Juda, and in Jerusalem, I will cause to cease the boye of the Bezirch, and the boye of Israel, and the boye of the lande shall be desolate of inhabitants.

24 But we would not hearken unto the boye, to serve the King of Babylon : therefore hast thou perfozmed the Bozdes that thou spakest by thy seruantes the Prophets: namely, that the bones of our kings, and the bones of our fathers should be carved out of their places.

25 And loc, they are cast out to the heate of the day, and to the cold of the night, and are dead in great miferie with famine, and with the Boz, and in banishment.

26 And the Temple wherein thy Name was called upon, thou hast brought to the state, as appeareth this day, for the wickednes of the house of Israel, and the house of Judæa.

27 O LORD our God, thou hast intreated vs according to equity, according to all the great mercies,

28 As thou spak'st by thy seruant Moyses, in the day when thou diddest command him to write thy Lawe before the children of Israel, saying,

29 If ye will not obey my boye, then shall this great swarme and multitude be turned into a very fewe among the nations where I will scatter them.

30 For I know that they will not heare me: for it is a stiffnecked people : but in the lande of their captiuitie they shall remember them clues,

31 And knowe that I am the Lord their God: then will I give them an heart to understande, and eares.

32 And they shall heare, and prayle me in the lande of their captiuitie, and thinke upon my Name.

33 Then shall they turne them from their hard backes, and from their cuill wozkes: for they shall remember the way of their fathers, which linned before the Lord.

34 And I will bring them againe into the land, which I promised with an othe unto their fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, and they shall be lords of it: and I will increase the, and they shall not be diminished.

35 And I will make an everlasting covenant with them, that I will be their God, and they shall be my people : and I will no more drive my people of Israel out of the lande that I haue given them.

2 Here, O LORD, and haue mercies: for thou art merciful, and haue pitie upon vs, because we haue linned before thee.

3 For thou endurest for ever, and we betterly perish.

4 O LORD almightie, the God of Israel, heare now the prayer of the dead Israelites, and of their children, which haue linned before thee, and not hearkened unto the boye of thee their God, wherefore these plagues hang upon vs.

5 Remember not the wickednes of our fathers, but thinke upon thy power, and thy Name at this time.

6 For thou art the Lord our God, and thee, O LORD, will we praye.

7 And for this cause hast thou put thy keare in our hearts, for we should be call upon thy Name, and praise thee in our captiuitie: for we haue considered in our minde all the wickednes of our fathers, that linned before thee.

8 Behold, we are yet this day in our captiuitie, where thou hast scattered vs, to be a reproche and a curse, a lubiect to payments, according to all the iniquities of our fathers, which are departed from the Lord their God.

9 O Israel, heare the commandements of life: hearken unto them, that thou maist learne wurdome.

10 What is the cause, O Israel, that thou art in thine enemies lande, and art waxen olde in a strange countrey?

11 And art defiled with the dead: art counted with them, that go downe to the GRAVES.

12 Thou hast forlaken the fountaine of wurdome.

13 For if thou haddest walked in the way of God, thou shouldst haue remained safe for ever.

14 Learne where is wurdome, where is treagth, where is understanding, for thou maist knowe also from whence commeth long continuance, and life, and where the light of the epees, and peace is.

16 Where are the princes of the heathen, and such as ruled the beasts upon the earth?

17 They that had their pastime with the foules of the heaué, that hoarded vp filuer and gold, wherein men truok, and made none end of their gathering.

18 For they that copned filuer, and were so carefull of their wozke, and whose inuention had none end,

19 Are come to naught, and gone downe to hell, and other men are come vp in their steads.

A COPIE OF THE EPISTLE THAT

Jeremias sent vnto them that were led away captives into Babylon by the King of the Babylontans, to certify the of the thing that was commanded him of God.

In this chapter are the matters and matters of the images and images confuseth.

B Because of the sonnes, that ye haue committed against God, ye shall be led away captives vnto Babylö, by Rabuchodonofo, King of the Babylontans.

So when ye be come into Babylon, ye shall remaine there many perſons, and a long season, euen 10 ſeuen generations, and after that will I bring you away peaceablelie from thence.

11 Now shall ye see in Babylon gods of filuer, and of golde, and of wood, and of wine upon mens shoulders, to caule the people to fear.

12 That is ferumme perren. 16. 44. 8. 10. & 46. 7. 11. 4. 113. 10.

Beware therefore that ye in no wode be like the strangers, neither be ye afraid of them, when ye fee the multitude before them and behinde them wo, sipping them.

5 But tap ye in your heartes, O Lord, we must worship thee.

6 For mine Angell shall be with you, and shall care for you, your soules.

7 As for their tongue, it is polſhed by the earpenter, and they them felues are gilted, and laude ouer with filuer: yet are they but lies, and cannot ſpeak.

8 And as they take golde for a maide that loeth to be decke,

9 So make they crownes for you, heads of their gods: sometimes also the priefts themselves conuey away the golde, and filuer from their gods, and bestowe it vpon themselves.

10 Pea, their gieue of the fame vnto the harlots, that are in their houſes: againe, they decke these gods of filuer, and gods of golde, and of wood with garments like men,

11 Yet ran not they be pesterued from ruſt and wo, rmes,

12 Though they haue couered them with clothing of purple, and wipe their faces because of the dust of the Temple, whereof there is much vpon them.

13 One holdeth a kæpter, as though he were a certeine iudge of the countrie: yet can he not lay ſuch as offend him.

14 Another hath a dagger on an ane in his right hand: yet is he not able to defende him ſelſe from battel, nor from theeues: so then it is euident, that they be no gods.

15 Therefore keare them not: for as aessel that a man keth, is nothing wo, rth when it is broken,

16 Such are their gods: when they be set vp in their temples, their eyes be full of duſt by reason of the feete of those that come in:

17 And as the gates are flut in roſd about him, on him that hath offended the King: or as one that should be ledde to be put to death, so the Priefts keepe their temples with doo, ces, and with lockes, and with barres, left their gods should be kpopled by robbers.

The hiftorie of Sufanna, which

or, Sufanna

some ioyne to the end of Daniel, and make
it the thirteenth chapter.

The two governours are taken with the loue of Sufanna. 12 The p[e]ake her alone in the garden. 20 The p[e]olicue her to wicke[n]eſſe. 23 She chooseth rather to obey God, though it be to the danger of her life. 24 She is accuſed. 45 Daniel doeth deliver her. 62 The governours are put to death.

Here dwelt a man in Ba-
bylon called Joacim,
And he took a wife, whole
name was Sufanna, the
daughter of Helias, a very
fayre woman, and one that
feared God.

Her father is her mother al-

so were godly people, taught their daughter
according to the Lawe of Moles.

Nowe Joacim was a great riche man, and
had a fayre garden ioyning into his house,
and to him reſo[rd] p[er] Jewes, because he was
more honorable then all others.

The same p[ere] were appoynted two of the
ancients of the people to be iudges, ſuch as the
Lord speaketh of, that the iniquitie came from
Babylon, and from the ancient iudges, which
seemed to rule the people.

These hanted Joacims house, and all ſuch
as had any thing to do in the Lawe, came thy-
ther into them.

Nowe when the people departed away at
noone, Sufanna went into her huſbads gar-
den to walke.

And the two elders ſaw her that she went in
daply and walhed, so that their luff was inſa-
med toward her.

Thereſo[re] they turned away their [minde]
and caſt downe their eyes, that they ſhouſle
not ſee heau[n], no[te]r remember luff iudgements.

And albeit they both were wounded with
her loue, yet durſt not one ſhewe another his
griefe.

For they were alhamed to declare their luff,
that they desired to haue to do with her.

Yet they watched diligently from day to day
to ſee her.

And the one ſaid to the other, Let vs go now
home, for it is dinner tune.

So they went their way, and departed, one
from another : yet they returned againe, and
came into the same place, and after that they
had asked one another the cause, they ac-
knowledged their luff : then appointed they
a time both together when they might find her

alone.

Nowe when they had spied out a conueni-
ent time, that they went in, as her maner was,
with two maydes onely, and thought to walw
her ſelſe in the garden (for it was an hole
ſeafon).

And there was no body there, ſaw the two
Elders that had hid them ſelues, and watched
for her.

She laid to her maydes, Bring me p[le] and
lope, and ſbut the garden doores, that I may
wasſe me.

And they did as the badethem, and ſbut the
garden doores, and went out them ſelues at a
backe doore, to ket the t[ing] that the had com-
manded them : but the p[er]ſaue not the Elders,
becauſe they were hid.

Nowe when the maydes were gone ſoorth,
the two Elders rose vp and ranne into her,
ſaying,

Scholde, the garden doores are ſbut, that
no man can ſee vs, and we burne in loue with
thee: thereſo[re] ſoncent into vs, and lpe with
vs.

If thou wilt not, we will beare w[it]nſelle a-
gainst thee, that a p[ong] man was with thee,
& thereſo[re] thou diddest ſend away thy maides
from thee.

Then Sufanna ſighed, and ſaide, I am in
trouble on euery ſide: for if I do this thing, it
is death into me: and if I do it not, I can not
escape your hands.

It is better for me to fall into your hands,
and not do it, then to ſinne in the ſlight of the
Lorde.

With that Sufanna cr[ey]ed with a loude
boyce, and the two Elders cr[ey]ed out aga[R]in
her.

Then ranne the one, and opened the garden
dooze.

So when the ſeruauntes of the houſe
heard the cr[ey]e in the garden, they r[us]bed in at
the backe doore, to ſee what was done into
her.

But when p[er] Elders had declared their mat-
ter, the ſeruaunts were greatly alhamed: for
there was neuer ſuch a reſp[on]te made of Su-
fanna.

On the moſtowe after, came the people to Jo-
acim her huſbande, and the two Elders came
also,

The hiftorie of Bel and of the dragon,

which is the fourteenth chapter of Daniel
after the Latin.

1

O we when King Aspages
was laid with his fathers,
Cyrus the Persia received
his ringdome.

And Daniel did eate at
the Kings table, and was
honoured aboue all his
friends.

2

Nowe the Babylonians had an idole, called
Bel, and there were spent by him every day,
twelve great measures of fine flour, and
fourth measure, and fire great pots of wine.

And the King worlshipped it, and went dayly
to honoſ it: But Daniel worlshipped his owne
God. And the King laid unto him, who does
not thou worlship Bel?

Who anſWERED, as Saide, Because I may not
worship idoles made with hands, but the li-
ing God, which hath created the heaven and
the earth, and hath power upon al ſelb.

Then Saide the King vnto him, Thinkest
thou not that Bel is a living God ? seeſt thou
not howe much he eateth and drinketh eucrie
day?

Then Daniel ſmiled and ſaide, O King, be
not deſcinded: for this is but claye within,
and bzaſſe without, and did neuer eate any
thing.

7

8

So the King was wroth, and called for his
priests, and ſaid vnto them, If ye tell me not,
who this is that eateth vp these expences, ye
ſhall dye:

But if ye can certifie me that Bel eateth the,
then Daniel shall dye: for he hath spoken blaſ-
chemie against Bel. And Daniel ſaide vnto
the King, Let it be according to thy word.

9

10

(Dowe the Priests of Bel were three ſcote
and ten, before their wines and children;) and
the King went to Daniel into the temple of Bel.

11

So Bels priekes ſaid, Beholde, we will go
out, and let thou the meat there, O King, and
let the wine be filled: then but the doore fast,
and take it with thine owne ſignet:

12

And to morow when thou commest in, if thou
findest not that Bel hath eaten vp all, we will
ſuffer death, or els Daniel that hath lyped vp
on vs.

13

Nowe they thought the ſelues ſure enough:
for under the table they had made a priuie en-
trance, and there went they in cuer, and tooke
away the things.

14

So when they were gone forth, the King let
meatcs before Bel. Now Daniel had coman-
ded his ſeruants to bring albes, and there they
krowed throughout all the temple, in the pre-
sence of the King alone: then went they out,
and but the doore, and sealed it with the Kings
ſignet, and so departed.

15

Nowe in the night came the Priekes, with

their wines and children, (as they were wont
to do) and did eate and drinke vp all.

16

In the morning betimes, the King aroſe and
Daniel with him.

17

And the King ſaide, Daniel, are the ſeales
whole ? Who anſWERed, Yea, O King, they be
whole.

18

And alloone as he had opened the doore, the
King looked vpon the table, and tried with a
loude doore, Great art thou, O Bel, and with
thce is no decere.

19

Then laughed Daniel, and holde the King
that he should not goe in, and ſaide, Beholde
nowe the paucement, and marke well whole
footsteppes are theſe.

20

And the King ſaide, I fee the footsteppes of
men, women, and children: therefoſe the King
was angrie,

21

And tooke the priekes, with their wines, and
children, and they thewed him priuie dooreſes,
where they came in, and consumed such things
as were vpon the table,

22

Therefoſe the King ſcwe them, and deliue-
red Bel into Daniels power, who deſtroped
him and his temple.

23

Moreover in that ſame place there was a
great dragon, which the Babylonians wor-
ſhipped.

24

And the King ſaide vnto Daniel, Hayſt
thou, that this is of bzaſſe alio, loe, heliuth
and eateth and drinketh, so that thou canst
not ſay, that he is no living god: thereto woz-
ſhippe him.

25

Then ſaide Daniel vnto the King, I will
worlship the Lord my God: for he is the living
God.

26

But give me leaue, O King, and I will flap
this Dragon without word or ſaſſe. And the
King ſaide, I give thee leaue.

27

Then Daniel tooke piteſe, and katte, and
heare, and did keeſt them together, and made
lumpes thereof: this he put in the dragons
mouth, and to the dragon burst in ſunder.
And Daniel ſayde, Beholde, whom pe woz-
ſhippe.

28

When the Babylonians heard it, they were
wonderfull wroth, and gathered them to-
gether against the King, laying, The King is
become a Jewe: for he hath deſtroped Bel, and
hath kaine the Dragon, and put the Priekts to
death.

29

So they came to the King, and ſaid, Deuiner
vs Daniel, or els we will deſtrop thee a thine
houſe.

30

Now wher the King ſawe, that they preaſed
ſore vpon him, and that necessitie conſtrained
him, he deuivered Daniel vnto them:

31

Who cauſt him into the lpong denne, where
he was ſire dayes.

batins, and the baile, and the crownes, and
the goldè apparel, which was before the Tem-
ple, and blake all in pieces.

24 He tooke also the silver and gold, and the pize-
ious jewels, and he tooke the secret treasures
that he founde, and when he had taken away
all, he departed into his owne land,

25 After he had murthered many men, and spo-
ken very proudely.

26 That after there was a great lamentation in
cuery place of Israel.

27 For the Princes and the Elders mourned:
the pong women, and the pong men were made
feeble, and the beaut of the women was chan-
ged.

28 Every bridegrome tooke him to mourning,
and the that late in the marriage chamber,
was in heauines.

29 The lande also was moued for the inhabi-
tants thereof: for all the houſe of Jacob was
couered with confusion.

30 After two years the King sent his chieſe to take
maſter into the cities of Juda, which came to
Jerusalem with a great multitude.

31 Who spake peaceable words unto them in
decency, and they gaue credit unto him.

32 Then he fell suddenly upon the citie, a knoſe
it with a great plague, a destroyed much peo-
ple of Israel.

33 And when he had spoyled the citie, he set fire
on it, caſting downe the houſes thereof, and
wallles thereof on euery side.

34 The Women and their children tooke thep
captive, and led away the eattel.

35 Then fortifiſed thep the citie of David with
a great and thiſe wall, and with mightie
towzes, and made it a strong hold for them.

36 Mordeuver thep ſet wickered people there, and
kingly persons, and forſtifiſed them ſelues
therein.

37 And they ſtoſed it with weapons and bitailes,
and gathered the ſpoyle of Jerusalem, and
laped it up there.

38 Thus became thep a ſore snare and were in
ambition for the Sanctuarie, and were
wickered enemies euermore unto Israel.

39 For they ſhed innocent blood on euery side of
the Sanctuarie, and deſtled the Sanctuarie,

40 In so much that the citizens of Jeruſalem
ſed away because of the, and it became an ha-
bitation of strangers, being desolate of them
whom he had begne for her owne children did
leaue her.

41 Her Sanctuarie was left waste as a wilder-
nes: her holy days were turned into moun-
ning, her Sabbaths into repſorche, and her ho-
nour brought to naught.

42 As her gloz had bene great, so was her dif-
honour, and her excellencie was turned into
ſo low.

43 Also the King wrote unto all his kingdome,
that al the people should be as one, and every
man should leaue his lawes.

44 And all the heathen agreed to the commu-
ni-
dment of the King.

45 Pea, many of the Israelites consented to his

religion, offering unto idols, and deſtling the
Sabbath.

46 So the King ſent letters by the messengers
unto Jeruſalem, and to the cities of Juda, that
they ſhould followe the strange lawes of the
counrep,

47 And that they should forbid burnt offerings
and sacrifices, and the offerings in the Sanc-
tuarie,

48 And that they should deſt the Sabbaths
and the feasts,

49 And pollute the Sanctuarie as the holy men,

50 And to set up altars, and grones, and chap-
pels of idoles, and offer up twines, fire, and
uncleane beastes,

51 And that they should leaue their children bu-
circumcised, and deſt their foules with bu-
cleannes, and pollute them ſelues, that they
might forſeget the Lawe, and change all the oz-
dinances,

52 And that whoſoever would not do according
to the commondeament of the King, should ſuſ-
fer death.

53 In like maner wrote he throughout all his
kingdomes, a ſet ouer ſeers ouer all the people,
for to compell them to do theſe things.

54 And he commanded the cities of Juda to do
sacrifice, citie by citie.

55 Then went many of the people unto them by
heapes, euery one that forſooke the Law, and
so they committed euill in the land.

56 And they found the Israelites into secrete
places, euen where ſoever they could be for
sucour.

57 The ſixteenth day of Caslen, in the hundreth
and ſue and fourtieth yeare, they set up the a-
bomination of defolation upon the altar, and
they builded altars throughout the cities of
Juda on euery side.

58 And before the doores of the houſes, and in
the streetes they burnt incense.

59 And the booke of the Lawe, which they
founde, thep burnt in the ſpze, and cut in
pieces.

60 Whosoever had a booke of the Testament
founde by him, or whoſoever contented unto
the Lawe, the Kings commaunocment was,
that they should put him to death by their au-
tority.

61 And they executed theſe things euery mo-
neth vp to the people of Israel that were found
in the cities.

62 And in the ſue and twentieeth day of the mo-
neth, they did sacrifice upon the altar, which
was in the steade of the altar of sacrifices.

63 And according to the commaunement, they
put certeine women to death, which had cauſed
their children to be circumcified,

64 And they hanged up the children at their
teckes, and they spoyled their houſes, a ſelue
the circumcifers of them.

65 Pet were there many in Israel, which were
of courage, and determined in the ſelues, that
they would not eat uncleane things,

66 But chose rather to suffer death, then to be
deſtled with those meates: so because they

41 Therefoze they concluded at the same time,
saping,Whofocuer shall come to make battell
with vs byon the Sabbath day, we wil fight
against him, that wee die not all, as our be-
thien that were murthered in þ secret places.

42 Then came vnto them the assemby of the
Asideans, which were of the strongest men of
Israel, all such as were well minded toward
the Lawe.

43 And all they that were fled for persecution,
ionned them felues vnto them, and were an
helpe vnto them.

44 So they gathered a power, and smote the
wicked men in their wrath, and the vngodly
in their anger: but the rest fled vnto the hea-
then, and cleaped.

45 Then Mattathias and his friends went a-
bout, and destroied the altars,

46 And circumciled the children by soee that
were uneircumciled, as many as they founde
within the coastes of Israel,

47 And they pursued after the proud men: and
this acte prospered in their hands.

48 So they reconcred the Law out of the hand
of the Sentiles, and out of the hand of Kings,
and gane not place to the wicked.

1 Judas is made ruler ouer the Jefes. 11. Hee hilleth Apollonius and
Eccles. the pines of Syria. 44. The confidence of Jefus towarde God.
55 Jefus determined to fight against Jefias, whose Jefus had
made captaine ouer his host.

Then Judas his lone, called Maccabeus,
trose vp in his place.

And all his breathen helped him, and all
they that heide with his father, and fought
with courage the battel of Israel.

So he gate his people great honour: hee put
on a breastplate as a grant, & armed him selfe,
and set the battell in array, and defended the
campe with the sword.

In his actes he was like a lion, and as al-
ions whelpe roaring after the pray.

For he pursued the wicked, and fought them
out, and burnt vp those that heed his people,
So that the Wicked fled for fear of him, and
all the worzers of iniquitie were put to trou-
ble: and fallation prospered in his hand.

And he grieued diuers Kings, but Jacob re-
tooped by his actes, and his memoriall is blef-
fed for euer.

He went also tholowo the cities of Juda, and
destroied the wicked out of them, and turned
away the wrath from Israel.

So was he renowned vnto the ends of the
carth, and hee assembled together those that
were readie to perish.

But Apollonius gathered the Sentiles, a
and a great host out of Samaria, to fight a
gainst Israel.

which when Judas perceived, he went forth
to meete him, and smote him, and flewe him, so
that many fell downe flaine, and the rest fled.

So Judas tooke their spoyles, and tooke
also Apollonius swoode, and fought with it
all his like long.

Aowe when Heron a prince of the armie of

51 For thy Sanctuarie is trodè down and de-

52 And behold, the heathen are come against vs
to destroy vs; thou knowest what things they
imagine against vs.

53 How can we stand before them, except thou
helpe vs.

54 Then they blewe the trumpets, and cryed
with a lowde bope.

55 And after this Judas ordeined captaines o-
uer the people, eué captaines ouer thousands,
and captaines ouer hundredths, and captains
ouer fifties, and captaines ouer ten.

56 And they commanded them that buylded
houfes, or married winces, or planted vine-
pardes, or were fearefull, that they should re-
turne euery one to his owne house, accor ding
* to the Lawe.

57 So the hoste remoued, and pitched upon the
Southside of Emmaus.

58 And Judas laid, Arme your Kelues, and be
valiant men, and be readie against the mo-
ning to fight with these nations, which are
gathered together against vs, to destroy vs;
our Sanctuarie.

59 For it is better for vs to dye in battell, then to

Josephus, lib.
11, cha. 10.

Then tooke Gorgias finc thousandf soote
men, and a thousand of the best hozfeme,
and departed out of the campe by night,

2 To innade the campe of the Jewes, and to
clap them suddenly: and the men of the soz-
terelle were his guides.

3 Now when Judas heard it, hee remoued, a
thep that were valiat men to smite the Kings
armie which was at Emmaus,

4 Whiles yet the armie was dispersed from
the campe.

5 In the meane skalon came Gorgias by night
into Judas campe; and when hee founde no
man there, he sought them in the mountains:
for laid he. They flee from vs.

6 But alioone as it was dave, Judas shewed
him Kelfe in the fielde with thzee thousand me,
which had neither harnelle nof words to
their mindes.

7 And they sawe that the armies of the heathes
were strong and well armed, and their hozle-
men about them, and that thesè were expert
men of warre.

8 Then laid Judas to the me that were with
him. Feare ye not their multitude, neither hee
afrape d of their assault.

9 Remember, hove our fathers were deliue-
red * in the red Sea, when Dharaos purfucd
them with an armie.

Exo 14.9,
29.

10 Therefore nowe let vs crye vnto heauen, &
the Lord will haue mercie upon vs, and re-
member the covenant of our fathers, and will
destroy this hoste before our face this day:

11 So hal all the heathen knowe, that there is
one, which deliuereth and kaueth Israel.

12 Then the strangers lift up their eyes, and
sawe them comming against them,

13 And they went out of their tents into the
battell, and they that were with Judas, blew
the trumpets.

14 So they iopned together, and the heathen
were discomfited and fled by the plaine.

15 But the himmost of them fell by the twoe,
and they purfued them vnto "Gazaron, and
into the plaines of Jduinea, and of Azotus, &
of Jammia, so that there were slaine of them
about three thousand men.

16 So Judas turned againe with his host fro
purfuing them,

17 And laid vnto the people, Bee not griedie of
the spoyles: for there is a battell before vs.

18 And Gorgias and the armie is here by vs in
the mountaine: but stand ye now fast against
pour enemies, and ouercome them: then may
peacetake the spoyles.

19 As Judas was speaking these words, there
appeared one parte which looked from the
mountaines.

20 But when Gorgias sawe that his were fled,
that Judas koulders burnt the tents: for the
smoke was keen, declared what was done.)

21 When they sawe these things, they were soze
afrape d, and when they sawe also that Judas
and his hoste were in the field ready to let the
kelues in aray,

22 They fled euery one into y land of stéagers.

23 So Judas turned againe to spoyle y tents,
where he gate much gold and siluer, and pize-
cious stones, and purple of the sea, and great
riches.

24 Thus they went home, and sung palfmes, &
praised towarde the heauen: for hee is graci-
ous, and his mercie endureth for ever.

25 And so Israel had a great victorie in y day.

26 Now all the strangers that escaped, came,
and told Lyfias al the things that were done.

27 Who when hee heard these things, was soze
afrape d, a discouraged, because such things
came not upon Israel as hee would, neither
such things as the King had commanded him,
came to palle.

28 Therefore the next yere following, gathe-
red Lyfias threecore thousand choosen soote
men, and fuc thousand hozfemen to fight a-
gainst Jerusalem.

29 So they came into "Idumea, and pitched
their tents at "Beth-fura, where Judas came
against them with ten thousand men.

30 And when hee sawe that mightie armie, hee
piayed and laid, Bleffed be thou, O Sautour
of Israel, * which diddest destroy the assault
of the mightie man by the hand of the seruants
David, * and gaueth the host of the strangers.

31 Shut up this armie in the hand of the people of Israel, & let them be confounded with their power, and with their hozemen.

32 Make them afraid, a consumic their boldnes and strength, that they may be affonished at their destruction.

33 Cast them downe by the word of them that love thee: then shall all they that knowe the Name, praise thee with songs.

34 So they joined together, and there were flame of Lyaas holse, fire thousand men, and they fell before them.

35 Then Lyaas, seeing his army put to flight, at the manlinesse of Judas soldiers, and that they were readie, either to line or die valiantly, he went into Antiochia, and gathered strangers, and when he had furnished his armie, he thought againe (being prepared) to come against Judea.

36 Then said Judas and his brethren, Behold, our enemies are discomfited: let us now goe up to cleunce, and to repaire the Sanctuary.

37 So all the halle gathered them together, and went up into the mountaine of Sion.

38 Now when they sawe the Sanctuary layed waste, and the altar defiled, and the doozes burnt up, and the shrubses growing in the courtes, as in a forest, or as on one of the mountaines, and that the Priestes chambers were broken downe,

39 They rent their clothes, and made great lamentation, and cast asles upon their heads,

40 And fell downe to the ground on their faces, and blew an alarme with the trumpets, and eryed toward heauen.

41 Then Judas comanded certaine of the men to fight against those which were in the castel, till he had clesed the Sanctuary.

42 So he chose Priestes that were undeffiled, such as delited in the Lawe,

43 And they clesed the Sanctuary, & bare out the defiled stones into an uncleane place,

44 And consulted what to do with the altar of burnt offerings, which was polluted.

45 So they thought it was best to destroye it, least it should be reprouch unto them, because the heathen had defiled it: therefore they deified the altar,

46 And laied vp the stones upon the mountaine of the Temple in a convenient place, till there should come a Prophet, to shewe what should be done with them.

47 So they tooke whole stones according to the Lawe, and buylde d a newe altar according to the former,

48 And made vp the Sanctuary, & the things that were within the Temple, & the courtes, and all things.

49 They made also newe holy vessels, and brought into the Temple the candlesticke, & the altar of burnt offerings, and of incense, & the table.

50 And they burnt incense upon the altar, and lighted the lampes which wece upon the candlesticke, that they might burne in the Temple.

51 They let also the shewbhead upon the table,

and hanged vp the bailes, and finisbed all the works that they had begunne to make.

52 And upon the fine and twentieeth daye of the nuth moneth, which is called the maneth of Chalua, in the hundreth and eight fouftieth pere they roste up betimes in the morning.

53 And offered sacrifice according to the Lawe, upon the newe altar of burnt offerings, that they had made.

54 According to the time, and according to the dave, that the heathen had defiled it, in the same dave was it made newe with songs, and harpes, and lites, and cymbales.

55 And all the people fell upon their faces, worshipping and praiing toward the heauen him that had given them good succerfe.

56 So they kept the dedicatiu of the altar eight days, offering burnt offerings with gladnes, & offered sacrifices of delivrance and praise,

57 And deete the forefront of the Temple with cownes of golde and shieldes, and dedicated the gates and chambers, and hanged downes upon them.

58 Thus there was very great gladnes among the people, and the reprieche of the heathen was put away.

59 So Judas and his brethren with the whole congregation of Israel ordeined that the dates of dedication of the altar should be kept in their season from peere to peere, by the space of eight days, from the fine and twentie daye of the moneth Challen with mirth and gladnes.

60 And at the same time builded they vp mount Sion with his walles & strong towres round about, least the Gentiles should come, a treader it downe, as they had done afore.

61 Therefore they let a garison there to keepe it, a fortified Beth-sura to keepe it, that the people might haue a defence against Idumea.

CHAP. V.

3 Judas banquethed the heathen that go about to destrope Israel, and he holpen of his brethren Simon and Jonathan. So he ouerthoweth the time of Apohn, because he drunck his fill passage through it.

N OVE when the nations rounde about heard, that the altar was buylde d, and the Sanctuary renued, as afore, they were soe gricued.

2 Therefore they thought to destroyp the generation of Jacob that was among them, and began to slay and destroyp the people.

3 Then Judas fought against the children of Esaui in Idumea at "Arrabathene", because they belieued the Israelites, and he smote the with a great plague, & droune them to straites, and tooke their spoyles.

4 He thought also upon the malice of the children of Esau, which had bene a snare and an hinderance vnto the people, when they laye in wapte for them in the hie wapte.

5 Wherefore hee but them vp in towres, and belieued them, and defileod them bitterly, and burnt their towres with fire, with all that were in them.

7. So he had many battels with them, but they were destroyed before him, and to him discomfited them,

8. And tooke Gazer with the townes thereof, so turned againe into Judea,

9. Then the heathen that were in Galaad, gathered the together against the Israelites that were in their quarters, to slay them: but they fled to the castell of Datheman,

10. And sent letters to Judas, and to his brother, laying, The heathen that are about vs, are gathered against vs, to destrop vs,

11. And they make them ready for to come, and to take the fosteresse, whereunto we are fled, & Timotheus is captaine of their hoste,

12. Come nowe therefoize, and deliver vs out of their hands: for many of vs are slaine:

13. And all our brethren that were at Tubin, are slaine, & they haue taken away their Wines, and their children, and their goods, and destroped there almost a thousand men,

14. While these letters were yet a reading, behold, there came other messengers from Galile with their clothes rent, which told the same tidings,

15. And said, that they of Ptolemais, and of Tyrus, & of Sidon, & of al Galile of the Gentiles were gathered against them to destrop them.

16. When Judas, and the people heard these words, a great Congregation came together, to consult what they might do for their brethren, that were in trouble, and whome they befelged.

17. Then faide Judas to Simon his brother, Chaste thee out men, & go and deliver thy brethren in Galile, and I and my brother Jonathan, will go into the countrey of Galaad.

18. So he left Joseph his Sonne of Zacharias, and Azarias to be captaines of the people, & to keepe the remnant of the hoste in Judea,

19. And commanded them, laying, Take the ouerlight of this people, and make no warre against the heathen, until we come againe.

20. And vnto Simon were giuen three thousand men to go into Galile, & to Judas eight thousand men for the countrey of Galaad.

21. Then went Simon into Galile, and gaue diues battels to the heathen, and the heathen were discomfited by him.

22. And he purfued them unto the gates of Ptolemais: and there were slaine of the heathen almost three thousand men: so hee tooke their foples,

23. Thus they rescued them that were in Galile and in Arbattis with their Wines, & their children, and all that they had, and brought them into Judea with great toye.

24. Then Judas Haccabeus also, and his brother Jonathan went ouer Jordan, and trauept three dayes a journey in the wildernes,

25. Where they met with the Habathites, who received them louingly, and tolde them euery thing that was done vnto their brethren in the countrey of Galaad,

26. And howe that many of them were belieed in Bozorra, and Bozor, in Aemis, Chalbon,

Haged & Carnauiu (all these cities are strong, and great)

27. And that they were kept in other cities of Galaad, and to moowe they are appointed to bring their hoste vnto these fortes, and to take them, and to destroy them all in one day.

28. So Judas and his hoste turned in all halfe by the waye of the wildernes toward Bozorra, & wanne the citie, and wele all the males with the edge of the Bozor, and tooke al their fpoyle, and let fire vpon the citie.

29. And in the night hee removed from thence, a went toward the fosteresse,

30. And betimes in the morning when they loped by, beholde, there was an unvittable people bearing ladders, and instruments of warre, to take the forte, & had allured them.

31. When Judas sawe that the battell was begun, and that the crye of the citie went up to heaven with trumpets, and a great founde,

32. Then he layde vnto the armie, fight this day for your brethren.

33. So he went foorth behinde them with three companies, and they blewe the trumpets, and tryed with prayer.

34. Then the hoste of Timotheus knew, that it was Haccabeus, and they fled from him, and he smote them with a great slaughter, so that there was killed of them the same day, almost eight thousand men,

35. Then departed Judas vnto Halpha, and laydliege vnto it, and wanne it, and wele all the males thereof, and fpooped it, and let fire vpon it.

36. From thence went hee and tooke Chaldon, Haged, and Bozor, and the other cities in Galaad.

37. After these things gathered Timotheus an other hoste, and he camped before Kaphon beyond the cloud,

38. Nowe Judas had sent to espie the hoste, and they brought him Word againe, laying, At the heathen that be round about vs, are gathered vnto him, and the hoste is verie great,

39. And hee hath hied the Arabians to helpe them, and they haue pitched their tentes beyond the cloud, & are readie to come and fight against thee. So Judas went to meete them.

40. Then Timotheus faide vnto the captaines of his hoste, when Judas and his hoste come neere the cloud, if hee palle ouer first vnto vs, we shall not be able to withstande him: for he will be to strong for vs.

41. But if he be atraide, and campe beyond the cloud, we will go ouer vnto him, and shall prieuale against him.

42. Nowe when Judas came neere to the cloud, he caused the governours of the people to remaine by the cloud, and commanded them, laying, Suffer none to pitch a tent, but let euery man come to the battell.

43. So he went first ouer toward them, and all the people after him: and all the heathen were discomfited before him, and cast away their weapons, and fled into the Temple that was at Carnauiu.

44 Which citie Judas wanne, a burnt the tem-
ple with all that were in it: so was Carnaum
subdued, and might not withstand Judas.

45 Then Judas gathered all the Israelites
that were in the countrey of Galaad, from the
least unto the most, with their wines & their
children, & their baggage, a verie great hoste,
to come into the land of Juda.

46 So they came unto Ephron, which was a great citie by the waye, and strongly defended: they could not palle, neither at the right hand nor at the left, but must go thorow it.

47 But they that were in the citie, but them
selues in, & stopped vp the gates with stones:
and Judas sent unto them with peaceable
words, laying,

48 Let us palle thozow your land, that we may
go into our owne countrey, none shall hurt
you: we will but onely goe thozowne on foote:
but they would not open unto him.

49 Wherefore Judas commanded a proclama-
tion to be made throughout the hoste, that e-
uerp man shoulde affault it according to his
standing.

50 So the valiant men set vp on it, and assaulted
the citie all that dape, and all that night, and
the citie was guien ouer into his hands:

51 Who lewe all the males with the edge of the
cworde, and destroped it, and tooke the spople
thereof, and went thozowe the citie ouer them
that were flayne.

52 Then went they ouer Jozden into the great
plaine before Bethany.

53 And Judas gathered together those that
were behind, and gaue the people good exho-
tation all the waye thozowe, till they were
come into the land of Juda.

54 Thus they went vp with toye, and gladnes
unto mount Sion, where they offered burnt
offdings, because there were none of them
flayne, but came home againe in saketie.

55 Chaw whiles Judas and Jonathan were
in the land of Galaad, and Simon their zo-
ther in Galile before Ptolemais,

56 Joseph the sonne of Zacharias, & Azarias
the captaines, hearing of the valiant actes, &
battels which they had atchicued, laid,

57 Let vs get vs a name alzo, & go fight against
the heathen that are round about vs.

58 So they gaue their hoste a commaundement
and went toward Jammia.

59 But Gorgias and his men came out of the
citie to fight against them.

60 And Joseph and Azarias were put to slight,
and purfued unto the borders of Judea: and
there were flayne that dape of the people of
Israel about two thousand men: so that there
was a great ouerthowe among the people of
Israel,

61 Because they were not obedient unto Ju-
das, and his beathen, but thought to do some
valiant thing.

62 Also they came not of the stocke of these
men, by whose hands deliuerance was guien
to Israel.

63 But the man Judas, and his beathen were

greatly commended in the light of all Israel,
and of all the heathen, wherefore their name
was heard of.

64 And the people came vnto them, bidding the
welcome.

65 Afterward went Judas forth with his hz-
thien, a fought against the children of Esau
in the land toward the South, where he wan
Hebzon, and the townes thereof, and hee de-
stroyed the castel therof, and burnt the towres
thereof round about.

66 Then remoued he to go into the lande of the
"strangers, and went thozow Samaria.

67 At the same time were the Dzieks of the ci-

their valiantnes, a went forth to battell with-
out counsell: and when Judas came to Azo-
tus in the stragers land, he brake downe their
altars, and burnt with fire the images of their
gods, and tooke away the poples of the cities,
and came againe into the land of Juda.

of Macedonia þ sonne of Philippe (that reig-
ned first in Grecia) had left there.

3 Wherefore he went about to take the citie, &
to spople it, but he was not able: for the citie
zens were warned of the matter,

4 And role vp against him in battell, and hee
fled and departed thence with great heavines,
and came againe into Babylon.

5 Moeconer, there came one which brought
him tidings in the countrey of Perglia, that
the armies that went against the land of Ju-
da, were driven away,

6 And that Lylias, which went forth first with
a great power, was driven away of þ Jewes,
and that they were made strong by the ar-
mour, and power, and diuers spuples which
they had gotten of the armies whom they had
destroyed,

7 And that they had pulled downe the abomi-
nation, which he had set vp þ á altar at Je-
rusalem, and sened the Sanctuarie with high
walles, as it was afore, a Beth-sura his citie.

8 So when the King had heard these wordes,
he was altonisbed, and toze moued: therefore
he laid him downe vpon his bed, and fell fique
for verie sozowe, because it was not come to
palle, as he had thought.

9 And there continued he many daies: for his
griefe was euer more and more, so that he saw
he must needes die.

10 Therefore he sent for all his friends, a saide
unto them, The ffeepe is gone from mine cies,
and mine heart falleth for very care.
