11 And I thinke with my selfe, Into what aduerstie am I come, and into what cloudes of miserie am I fallen nowe, where as afozetime I was in prosperitie, & greatly set by, by reason of my power.

12 And nowe doe I remember the euils that I haue done at Jerusalem: for I tooke all the beffels of golde and of silver that were in it, and sent to destrope the inhabitantes of Juda without cause.

13 I knowe that these troubles are come upon me for the same cause, and behold, I must dye with great sozowe in a strange land.

14 The called he for Philippe, one of his friends, whom he made ruler of all his realme,

15 And gaue him the crowne, and his robe, and the ring, that he should instruct his sonne Antiochus, and bring him vp, til he might reigne him selfe.

16 So King Antiochus died there in the hundred, and founde and ninth pere.

17 When Lysias knewe, that the King was dead, he ordained Antiochus his sonne (whom hee had brought vp) to reigne in his fathers name, and called him Eupatot.

18 Nowe they that were in the castell at Jerusalem, kept in the Israelites rounde about the Sanctuary, and sought alwapes their hurt, and the strengthening of the heathen.

19 Therefore Judas thought to destrope them, and called all the people together to believe them.

20 So they came together, and believed them in the hundred and fiftie pere, and made instruments to boote and other engins of warre.

21 But certaine of them that were believed, gate forth, (unto whom some vngodly men of Israel iopned them selues)

22 And they went unto the King, laying, Howe long will thou cease from executing judgment, and auenge our bizeithen?

23 We haue bene readie to serve thy father, and to go forward in those things, that he appointed, and to obey his commaundements.

24 Therefore thep of our nations fell from vs for this cause, and whereforeuer they founde any of vs, they flewe them, and spopled our inheritance.

25 And they haue not onely laped hande upon vs, but upon all about their bozders.

26 And beholde, this dape are they believing the castell at Jerusalem to take it, and haue fortified the Sanctuary, and Beth-lura.

27 And if thou dost not preuèt them quicke ly, they will dce greater things then these, and thou shall not be able to ouercome them.

28 When the king heard this, hee was very angrie, and called all his friendes, the captaines of his armie, and his horzemen,

29 And bands that were hired, came onto him from the Kings, that were confederate, and from the ples of the sea.

30 So the number of his armie was an hundred thousand footcnen, and twentie thousand horzemen, and two and thirtie elephants exercised in battell.

31 These came through JuMEA & DHEVE nere to Beth-lura, and belieged it a long season, & made engins of warre: but they came out, and burnt them with fire, and fought valiantly.

32 Then departed Judas from the castell, and remoured the hoſte, toward Beth-zacarias ouer against the Kings campe.

33 So the King arose verie early, and brought the armie and his power toward the waye of Beth-zacarias, where the armie set the selues in array to the battell, & blew the trumpets.

34 And to prouoke the elephants for to fight, they shewed them the blond of grapes and mulbaries,

35 And they let the beastes according to the ranges: so that by euery elephant there boode a thousand men armed with coats of maille & helmets of bzaſſe upon their heads, and onto euery beast were ordained five hundred horzemen of the best,

36 Which were readie at all times wherefoeuer the beaſt was: & whither faouer the beaſt wet, they went also, and departed not from him.

37 And upon them were strong towers of wood that courteed euery beaſt, which were fastened thereon with instruments, and upon euery one was two and thirtie men, that fought in them, and the Indian that ruled him.

38 They let also the remnant of the horzemen upon both the sides in two wings of the hoſte to stirre them vp, and to keepe them in the valleys.

39 And when the Sunne shone upon the golden hields, the mountainses, glistered therewith, and gaue light as lampes of fire.

40 Thus part of the Kings armie was spied upon the hie mountainses, and part beneath: so they marched forward warily, and in order.

41 And all they that heard the nope of their multitude, and the marching of the companie, and the ratteling of the harnelle, were affo-nisbed: for the armie was verie great and mightie.

42 Then Judas and his hoſte entred into the battell, and they flewe like hundredeth men of the Kings armie.

43 Now when Eleazar, the ſonne of Abaron, Or, Samos lawe one of the elephantes armed with royaall harnelle, and was more excellent then all the other beaſtes, he thought that p King shoulde be upon him.

44 Wherefore hee icoparded him selfe to de-licer his people, and to get him a perpetuall name,

45 Andanne boldely into him through the middes of the hoſte, flaping on the right hande, and on the left, so that they departed away on both sides.

46 So went he to the elephantes feete, and gate him under him, and flewe him: then fell the elephant downe upon him, and there he died.

47 But the other, feeing the power of the King and the ficienteneſe of his armie, departed fro them.

48 And the Kings armie went vp to meete them

them toward Jerusalem, and the King pitched his tentes in Judea toward mount Sion.

49 Woeouer, the King tooke truce with them; were in Beth-sura; but when they came out of the citie, because they had no vitailles there, were but up therein, and the land had rested,

50 The King tooke Beth-sura, and set there a garison to keep it,

51 And belieged the Sanctuarie many dayes, and made instruments to doothe, and other engins of warre, and instruments to cast fire and bones, and pieces to cast dartes and llings.

52 "They also made engins against their engins, and fought a long season.

53 But in the garners there were no vitailles: for it was the seuenth pere, and then they that were in Judea, were delinuered from the Citie, had eaten vp the residue of the stowe,

54 So that in the Sanctuarie were some men left: for the famine came to vpon them, that they were scattered euery man to his owne place.

55 Now when Lylias heard Philip (whom Antiochus the King, Whples he liued, had ordered to bring vp Antiochus his Sonne, that he might be King)

56 Was come againe out of Jerfia, and Media, and the Kings hoste with him, and thought to take vnto him the rule of things,

57 Hee and his haſteth, and were stirred forward by them in the castell to go and tell the King, and the captaines of the hoste, and to others, laying, we decrease daily, and our vitailles are but small: and the place that we layliege vnto, is strong, and the affaires of the realme depende upon vs.

58 Nowe therefore let vs agree with these me, and take truce with them, and with all their nation,

59 And graunt them to liue after their Lawe, as they did afore: for they be gricued, and doe all these things, because we haue broken their Lawes.

60 So the King and the princes were content, and sent vnto them to make peace, and they received it.

61 When the King and the princes had made an othe vnto them, they came vpon this out of the fostrcresse,

62 And the King went vp to mount Sion: but when he sawe that the place was well defended, he broke his othe that he had made, and commanded to breake downe the wall round about,

63 Then departed he in all haſe, and returned vnto Antiochia where he found Philippe having Dominis of the citie: so he fought against him, and tooke the citie by foſſce.

1 Demetrius reigneth, after he had killed Antiochus the Lycas. 2 He troweth the children of Israel, though the countell of certaine wicked persons. 3 The pape of the Pitys against the Paganos. 4 Judas killed the Paganos, after he had made his pape.

In the hundredth and one and fiftieth peere, departed Demetrius the Sonne of Seleucus from Rome, and came vp with a fewe men vnto a citie of the sea coast, and reigned there.

2 And when he came into the possession of his fathers kingdome, his souldiers tooke Antiochus and Lylias, and brought the vnto him. But when it was tolde him, he faide, Shew me not their faces.

4 So they put the to death. Now when Demetrius was set vpon the threshold of his kingdome, There came vnto him al the wicked and vngodly men of Israel, whole captaine was Alcimus, that would haue bene thetie Prieſt.

6 Thele me accused the people vnto the King, laying, Judas and his dzethzen haue faaine al the friends, and diuinen vs out of our owne lande.

8 Wherefore fende nowe some man, whome thou trueth, that he may go and fee all the destruction, which he hath done vnto vs, and to the Kings land, and let him punilb them with all their partakers.

10 Then the King chose Bacchides a friend of his, which was a great man in the realme, and ruled beyond the land, and was faithful vnto the King, and sent him,

11 And that wicked Alcimus, whom hee made the Prieſt, and commanded him to be auenged of the children of Israel.

12 So they departed, and came with a great hoste into the land of Juda, and sent messengers to Judas and his dzethzen, deceitfully with peaceable words.

13 But they beleeued not their laying: for they sawe that they were come with a great hoste.

14 Then a companie of the governing officers vnto Alcimus and Bacchides to intreat of reasonable pointes.

15 And the "Alians were the first that required peace among the children of Israel."

16 For they layd thep, He that is a Prieſt of the feede of Aaron, is come with this armie: therefore he will not hurt vs.

17 Then hee spake vnto them peaceably, and twoe vnto them, and faide, We will do you no harme, neither your friends:

18 And they beleeued him: but he tooke of them the Prieſe men, and flewe them in one dape according to the words that were written.

19 * They hane cast the bodies of thy Saintes, and their bloud round about Jerusalem, and there was no man that would bury them.

20 So there came a keate and trembling anioyg all the people: for they laid, There is neither trueth nor righteousness in them: for they haue broken the appointment and othe that they made.

21 Then Bacchides removed from Jerusalem, and pitched his tent at "Beth-zecha, where he sent forth and tooke many of the men that had forſaken him," certaine of the people whome he flewe and cast into the great pit.

22 Then committed he the countrep vnto Alcimus, and left men of warre with him to helpe him: for Bacchides went vnto the King.

23 Thus Alcimus stroue for the Prieſtode.

24 And all such as troubled the people reſortet vnto him: in so much, that they obtained the land of Juda, and did much hurt in Israel.

23 Now when Judas saue all the mischiefe,
that Aleimus and his companie had done a-
mong the Iraclites moze then the heathen,

24 He went foozth round about all the bozders
of Judea,and punifhed thofe, that were fallen
away, so that they came no moze abzoade in
the countrcy.

25 But when Aleimus saue that Judas and
his people had gotten the upper hand, & knew
that he was not able to abide them, hee went
againe to the King, and accuted them of wic-
ked things.

26 Then the King lent Acanoz one of his chief
princes, which hated Israel deadly, and com-
maunded him, that hee should destroye the
people.

27 So Acanoz came to Jerusalem with a
great host, a sent unto Judas, and his brathre
decpitfully with friendly words, saying,

28 Let there be no warre betweene me, and you:
I will come with fewe men, to see howe we do,
friendly.

29 So he came unto Judas, & they saluted one
another peaceably: but the enemies were pre-
pared to take away Judas.

30 Neuertheles, it was tolde Judas, he came
unto him under decit: therefore hee feared
him, and would not see his face no more.

31 When Acanoz perceived that his countell
was bewrayed, hee went out to fight against
Judas, beside "Carphalalama."

"Or,疏

32 Where there were slaine of Acanoizs hoste
about five thouland men: so they fled unto the
citie of David.

33 After this came Acanoz bp unto moft Sió,
and come of the Priests with the Elders of the
people went forth of the Sanctuary to salute
him peaccably, and to shew him the burnt of-
fering that was offered for the King.

34 But he laughed at them, and mocked them,
and counted them praphane, & spake proudly,

35 And woe in his wrath, saying, If Judas &
his hoste bee not deliuered nowe into mine
hands, if euer I come againe in faketic. I wil
burne vp this house, with that, went he out in
a great anger.

36 Then the Priests came in, and ftoode before
the altar in the Temple, weeping, & saying,

37 For so much as thou, O Lord, haſt chokt this
* House, that thy Name might be called upon
therein, & that it ſhould be an house of praper,
and petition for thy people,

Iaial. 56,5,7

38 Be auenged of this man and his hoste, and
let them bee slaine by the word: remember
the blasphemies, and suffer them not to con-
tinue.

39 Quhen Acanoz was gone from Jeruſale,
he pitched his tent at Beth-hozon, and there
an hoſte met him out of Spuria.

40 And Judas pitched in "Adala with three
thousand men where Judas prayed, saying,

41 O Lorde, * because the meſengers of King

went forth, & lewve an hundred, & found me,
and flue thousand of them.

42 I destroyed you this hoste before vs to day,

that all other may knowe that he hath spokpen
wickedly against the Sanctuary, and punиш
him according to his malice.

43 So the armies joined together in battell,
the thirteenth daye of the moneth Adar: but
Acanoizs hoste was discomſited, and hee him
ſelſe was first slaine in the battell.

44 Nowe when his armie ſawe that Acanoiz
was slayne, they cast away their weapons
and fled.

45 But they purſued after them a dayes tour-
ney from Adala into Gaera, blowing an
alarme with the trumpets after them.

46 So they came forth of al the townes of Ju-
dea round about, and rufbed upon them, and
threwe them from one to another, so that they
all fell by the word, and there was not one
of them left.

47 Then they tooke the spuples, and the pap,
and imote of Acanoiz's head, and his right
hand, which he helde vp so proudly, & brought
it with them, and hanged them vp afore Je-
ruſalem.

48 So the people rejoyced greatly, and kept
that day as a day of great gladnes.

49 And the order'd, to keepe pereely that daye
on the thirteenth day of the moneth Adar.

50 Thus the land of Juda was in rest a little
while.

53 He tooke also the chiefest mens sonnes in the countrep for hostages, and put them in þ castel at Jerusalem to be kept.

54 Afterwarde in the hundredeth, a fiftie and three pere, in the second moneth, Aleimus commanded, that the walles of the inner court of the Sanctuary should be destroyed, and he pulled downe the monuments of the Prophletes, and began to destroy them.

55 But at the same time Aleimus was plagued, & his enterpizies were hindered, & his mouth was stopped: for he was smitten with a palsy, and could no more speake, nor give order concerning his house.

56 Thus dyed Aleimus with great tozment at the same time.

57 And when Bacchides sawe, that Aleimus was dead, he turned againe to the King, and so the land of Juda was in rest two yccres.

58 Then all the ungody men helde a counsell, saping, Behold, Jonathan and his companie dwell at eafe, and without care: wherefore let us bring Bacchides hither, and he will take them all in one night.

59 So they went and consulted with him.

60 Who arose and came with a great hoste, and lent letters privily to his adherents, which were in Judea, to take Jonathan and those that were with him: but they could not, for their counsell was knowne unto them.

62 Then Jonathan and Simon with their companie departed unto Beth-basin which is in the wildernes, and repaired the decay thereof, and made it strong.

63 When Bacchides knew this, he gathered all his hoste, and lent word to them that were of Judea.

64 Then came he and laydeliege to Beth-basin, and fought against it a long season, and made instruments of warre.

65 But Jonathan had left his brother Simon in the citie, and went forth into the countrep, and came with a certaine number,

66 And flew " Odomeras and his biethen and the children of Phasikon in their tents : so he beganne to flape, and increased in power.

67 Simon also his companie went out of the citie, and burnt up the instruments of warre.

68 And fought againt Bacchides, and discomfited him, a vered him forze, so that his counsell and journey was in baine.

69 Wherefore he was very wroth at the wicked men," that gave him counsell to come into the countrep, and flew many of them, and purpofed to returne into his owne countrep.

70 Whereof when Jonathan had knowiedges, he sent amballadours unto him, to intreat of peace with him, and that the prisoners should be deliuered.

71 Which thing he accepted, and did according to his desire, and made an orhe, that he would neuer do him harme all the dapes of his life.

72 So he restorèd unto him the prisoners that he had taken afozetime out of the lande of Iuda, and so returned and went into his owne lande, neither did he come any more into their borders.

73 Thus the sword ceased from Israel, and Jonathan dwelt at Machmas, and began there to gouerne the people, and destroyed the ungodly men out of Israel.

5 Now when Demetrius the King heard it, he gathered an exceeding great hoste, and went forth against him to fight.

11 Also Demetrius lent letters unto Jonathan, with louing words, as though he would pereſсе him.

12 For he said, We will first make peace with him, before he tope with Alexander against us.

13 Els he will remember all the cuill that we haue done against him, and against his biethen and his nation.

14 And so he gaue Jonathan leaue to gather an hoste, and to prepare weapons, and to be conſederate with him, & commanded the hostages that were in the castell, to be deliuered unto him.

15 Then came Jonathan to Jerusalem, and read letters in the audience of al the people, and of them that were in the castell.

16 Therfore they were forze afraid, because they heard that the King had given him licence to gather an armie.

17 So they that were of the castel, deliuered the hostages unto Jonathan, who restorèd them to their parentes.

18 Jonathan also dwelt at Jerusalem, and began to buylde, and repaire the citie.

19 And he commaunded the worſkemen to build the walles, and the mount Sion rounde about with hewen stone, to forſtife it : and so they did.

20 Then the Strangers that were in the castels which Bacchides had made, fled.

21 So that euery man left his place, and went into his owne countrep.

22 Only at Beth-fara remained certeine which had forſaken the Lawe and the commandements: for it was their refuge.

16 He saide, Might we finde such a man : nowe
therefore we will make him our friende & con-
federate.

17 Upon this he wrote a letter, and sent it unto him, with these words, saying,

18 KING ALEXANDER to his brother Jonathan sendeth salutation.

19 We haue heard of thee, that thou art a heretic
valiant man, and wortlie to be our friend.

20 Wherefore this day we ordaine thee to be the
hie Priest of thy nation, and to be called the
Kings friend: (and he sent him a purple robe,
and a crowne of gold,) that thou mayest con-
sider what is for our profite, and keepe friend ship
toward vs.

21 So in the seuenth moneth of the hundreth
and three score peere, vp the feast day of Æta-
bernacles, Jonathan put on the holy garmet,
and gathered an hoste, and prepared many
weapons.

22 Which when Demetrius heard, he was marvulous for, and saide,

23 What haue we done, that Alexander hath
prenented vs in getting the friend ship of the
Jewes for his strength?

24 Yet will I write and exhort them, and pro-
mite them dignities and rewardes, that they
may helpe me.

25 Whereupon he wrote unto the the se words,
KING DEMETRIVS unto the nation of
the Jewes sendeth greeting.

26 We haue heard that ye haue kept your cou-
nant toward vs, and continued in our friend-
ship, and have not iopned with our enemies,
whereof we are glad.

27 Now therefore remaine still, and keepe fide-
lite towarde vs, and we will recompence you
for the good things that ye haue done for vs.

28 And will release you of many charges, a give
you rewards.

29 And nowe I discharge for your sake all the
Jewes from tributes, and free you from the
customs of salt, and the crowne taxes, from
the third part of the feede.

30 And from the halfe of the finite of the trees
which is mine owne ductie, I so release them
that from this day forth, none shall take anie
thing of the lande of Juda, or of the three go-
vernements which are added thereunto, as of
Samaria and of Galile, from this day forth
for evermore.

31 Jerusalem also with all things belonging
there to, shall be holie and free from the tenths
and tributes.

32 Also I release the power of the castel which
is at Jerusalem, and give it unto the hie Driek,
that he may set in it such men, as he shall chuse
to keepe it.

33 Moreover I freely deliver every one of the
Jewes that were taken away prisoners out
of the land of Judaea throughout all my realme,
and every one of them that be free from tributes,
yea, even their castell,

34 And all the keastes, and Sabbaths, and newe
moones, and the days appointed in the three
days before the feast, and the three daies after

the feast, shall be the days of freedome and li-
bertie for all the Jewes in my realme,

35 So that in them no man shall have power
to do any thing, or to do any of them in any
maner of cause.

36 Also thirtie thousande of the Jewes shall be
written vp in the Kings hoste, and have their
wages payed them as appertaineth to all the
that are of the Kings armie; and of them shall
be ordered certaine to keepe the Kings strong
holdes.

37 And some of them halfe set over the Kinges
most ferete affaires, and their gournours a
their princes shall be of them fellies, and they
shall live after their owne lawes, as the King
hath commanded in the lande of Juda.

38 And the three governingments that are added
unto Judea from the country of Samaria,
shall be iopned unto Judea, and they shall be as
under one, and obepe none other power, but the
hie Driek.

39 And I give Ptolemais a the bozders there-
of unto the Sanctuary at Jerusalem, for the
necessary expences of the holy things.

40 Moreover, I will give every pereke a fiftieth
thousand ficles of filuer of Kings revenues
out of the places appertaining unto me.

41 And all the ouerplus which they have not
paided for the things due, as they did in for-
mer pecres, from henceforth they shall give it
toward the works of the Temple.

42 And besides this, the five thousande ficles of
filuer which they received pereely of a account
appointed for interteinement of the San-
tuarie, these pecres passed, even these things
shall be released because they apperteine to
the Drieks that minister.

43 Item, whosoeuer they be that flee unto the
Temple at Jerusalem, or within the libertics
thereof, are indetted to the king for any ma-
ner of thing, they shall be pardoned, and al that
they have in my realme.

44 For the buylding also and repairing of the
works of the Sanctuary, expences shall be
given of the Kings revenues.

45 And for the making of the walles of Jerusa-
lem, for fortifying it round about, that shall
be in Judæa, map be built vp, shall also the coles
be given out of the Kings revenues.

46 But whé Jonathan and the people heard
these words, they gaue no credit unto them,
neither received them: for they remembered the
great wiekednesse that he had done in Isra-
el, and how toge he had bered them.

47 Wherefore they agreed unto Alexander: for
he was the first that had intricated of true peace
with them, and so were confederate with him
alway.

48 The gathered King Alexander a great host,
and camped over against Demetrius.

49 So the two Kings iopned battel, but Dem-\etrius hoste fled, a Alexander pursued him, and
pienayled against them.

50 So that the battel continued till the sunne
went downe, and Demetrius was slaine the
same day.

51 Then Alexander sent ambassadours unto Ptolemeus the King of Egypt with these words, saying,

52 For so much as I am come againe to my
realme, and am let in the throne of my fathers,
and haue gotten the dominion, and haue be-
stroyed Demetrius, and enioy my countrey,

53 Seeing that I haue cuen given him the bat-
tel, and he and his armie is discomfited by me,
and I fit in the throne of his ringdome,

54 Let vs nowe make friendbip together, and
give me nowe thy daughter to wife: so shall I
be thy sonne in lawe, and give thee rewards,
and into her things according to thy dignitie.

55 Then Ptolemeus the King gaue answere,
saying, Happye be thy day, wherin thou art come
againe unto the land of thy fathers, a little in
the throne of their ringdome.

56 Now therefore wil I fulfill thy writing: but
meete me at Ptolemais that we may see one
another, and that I may make thee my sonne
in Lawe, according to thy delire.

57 So Ptolemeus wet out of Egypt with his
daughter Cleopatra, and came vnto Ptole-
mais in the hundreth threescore & two yeare,

58 Where King Alexander met him, and he gaue
unto him his daughter Cleopatra, and mar-
vied them at Ptolemais with great glory, as
the maner of Kings is.

59 Then wrote King Alexander unto Jonas
than, that he should come and meete him.

60 So he went honourably vnto Ptolemais, as
there he met the two kings, as gaue them great
presents of silver and goldes, as to their friends,
and found favour in their sight.

61 And there assembled cerraine peстilent fel-
lowes of Israel, a wicked men to accuse him:
but the King would not heare them.

62 And the King commanded that they shoulde
take of the garments of Jonathan, and clothe
him in purple: and so they did: and the King
appointed him to fit by him,

63 And said unto his princes, Soc with him in-
to the middes of the citie, and make a procla-
mation, that no man complaine against him
of any matter, and that no man trouble him
for any manner of cause.

64 So when his accusers kawe his honoure ac-
cording as it was proclaimed, as that he was
clothed in purple, they fled all away.

65 And the King preferred him to honour, and
wrote him among his chik friends, and made
him a duke, and partaker of his dominion.

66 Thus Jonathan returned to Jerusaleſ with
peace and gladnes.

67 In the hundreth, threescore and five yeare
came Demetrius the sonne of Demetrius, from
Crete into his fathers land.

68 When of when King Alexander heard, he was
very lory, and returned vnto Antiochia.

69 Then Demetrius appointed Apollonius the
governor of Coeloszria, who gathered a great
hoste, and camped in Jamnia, and sent vnto
Jonathan the hie Przeſ, saying,

70 Daeſt thou, being but alone, lift vp thy ſelſe
against vs; and I am laughed at, and reſpo-

ched, because of thee: nowe therefore ze why do-
cet you daunt thy ſelſe against vs in the moun-
taines?

71 Now then if thou truſt in thine own strength,
come downe to vs into the plaine fielde, and
there let vs trpe what matter together: for I haue
the strength of cities.

72 Aske and learne who I am, and thep shall take
my part: and thep shall tell thee that your ſorte
is not able to stand before our face: for thy fa-
thers haue bene twice chafed in their owne
land.

73 And nowe howe wilt thou be able to abide so
great an hoste of horſemé and footemen in the
plaine, where is neither stone, nor rocke, nor
place to fice vnto?

74 When Jonathan heard the words of Apo-
lonius, he was moued in his mind: whereof ze
he chose tenne thousand men, and went out of
Jerusaleſ, and Simon his brother met him
for to helpe him.

75 And he pitched his tents at Joppe: but they
put him out of the citie: for Apollonius gar-
tifon was in Joppe.

76 Then they fought against it, and thep that
were in the citie, for they keepe let him in: so
Jonathan wanne Joppe.

77 Apollonius hearing of this, tooke three thou-
land horſemé with a great hoste of fooſe men,
& went toward Azotus, as though he woulde
go forwarde, and came immediately into the
plaine field, because he had so many horſemen,
and put his truſt in them.

78 So Jonathan followed vpon him to Azotus,
and the armie chirmilched with his arriere
bande.

79 For Apollonius had left a thousande horſe-
men behinde them in ambush.

80 And Jonathan knew that there was an am-
bushment behinde him, and though thep had
compalied in his hoste, and shot darts at the
people from the morning to the euening,

81 Past the people stode still, as Jonathan had
commanded them, till their hostes were wea-
tie.

82 Then brought Simon forth his hoste, & let
them against the bande: but the hostes were
wearie, and he discomſited them, and they fled:
to the horſemen were scattered in the fielde,

83 And they fled to Azotus, as came into the tem-
ple of Dagon their idole, that they might there
faue them ſelues.

84 But Jonathan let ſy e vpon Azotus and all
the cities round about it, a tooke their spoiles,
and burnt with ſy temple of Dagon with
all them that were fled into it.

85 Thus were slaine and burnt about eighte
thousand men.

86 So Jonathan remoued his hoste from thence,
and camped by Alcalon, where the men of the
citie came foozth, and met him with great ho-
nour.

87 After this went Jonathan and his hoste a-
gaine to Jerusaleſ with great spoiles.

88 And when King Alexander heard these
things, he began to do Jonathan more honoure,

A
ad the King of Egypt gathered a great
hoste, like the lande that lyeth upon the
sea shoze, and many shippes, and went
about thzough deceit to obtaine the kingdome
of Alexander, and to iopne it vnto his owne
Realme.

2 Upon this he went into Spria with friendly words, and was let into the cities, and men came foozth to meete him: for King Alexander had commanded the to meete him, because he was his father in lawe.

3 Now when he entred into the citie of Ptolemais, he left bands of garisons in every citie.

4 And when he came necre to Azotus, they shewed him the Temple of Dagon that was burnt, and Azotus, and the suburbs thereof that were destroyed, and þbodies cast abzoad, and them that he had burnt in the battel : for they had made heapes of them by the way where he shoulde palle.

5 And thep tolde the King what Jonathan had
done, to þ intent they might get him euill will:
but the king helde his peace.

6 And Jonathan met the King with great honour at Joppe, where they saluted one another, and lap there.

7 So when Jonathan had gone with þ King
unto the water that was called Eleutherus,
he turned againe to Jerusalem.

8 So King Ptolemeus gate þ dominion of the cities by the sea vnto Seleucia upon the sea coast, imagining wicked counsels against Alexander,

9 And sent Ambassadours vnto King Demetrius, laying, Come, let vs make a league betweene vs, and I will giue thee my daughter, which Alexander hath, & thou shalt reigne in thy fathers kingdome.

10 For I repent that I gaue Alexander my daughter: for he goeth about to slay me.

11 Thus he liaUNDERED Alexander, as one that
shoulde delire his Realme.

12 And he tooke his daughter from him, and gaue her vnto Demetrius, and forsooke Alexander, for þ their hatred was openly knownen.

13 Then Ptolemeus came to Antiochia, where he let two crownes vpon his owne head, of A- lia and of Egypt.

14 In the meane keason was King Alexander in
Lilicia : for they that dwelt in those places,
had rebelled against him:

15 But when Alexander heard it, he came to warre against him, and Ptolemeus brought koozth his hoste, and mette him with a mightie power, and put him to flight.

16 Then fled Alexander into Arabia, there to be
detended: for Ptolemeus was exalted.

17 And Zabdiel the Arabian Smote of Alexander's head, and sent it vnto Ptolemeus.

18 But the thirde day after, King Ptolemeus died : and they that were in the holdes, were flaine one of another.

19 And Demetrius reigned in the hundreth, three score and seuenth yeare.

20 At the same time gathered Jonathan the that were in Judea, to layliege vnto þ castle, which was at Jerusale, and they made many instruments of warre against it.

21 Then went there certaine ungodly perjons (which hated their owne people) vnto King Demetrius, and told him that Jonathan believ'd the castel.

22 So when he heard it, he was angrie, and immediately came vnto Ptolemais, and wotke vnto Jonathan, that he shoulde laye no moze liege vnto it, but that he should meete him & speake with him at Ptolemais in all haſte.

23 Neuertheles when Jonathan heard this, he commanded to deliege it: he chose also certeine of the Elders of Israel, and the Priests, & put him selfe in daunger,

24 And tooke with him alluer and golde, and appearell, and divers preſents, and went to Ptolemais vnto the King, and founde fauour in his light.

25 And though certaine ungodly me of his owne
nation had made complaintes vpon him,

26 Yet the King intreated him as his predeceſſers had done, and promoted him in the light of all his friends,

27 And confirmed him in the hie Priesthood with all the honourable things, that he had afoze, and made him his chieſe friend.

28 Jonathan also desired the King, þ he woulde make Judea free with þ hree governements, and the countrep of Samaria, & Jonathan prouſed him hree hundreth talents.

29 Whereunto the King consented, and gaue Jonathan writing of þ fame, containing these words,

30 KING DEMETRIVS vnto his brother Jonathan, and to the natio of the Jewes, sent hede greeing.

31 We fende you here a copie of the letter, which we did write vnto our cousin Lasthenes concerning you, that ye should fee it.

32 King Demetrius vnto Lasthenes his father,
sendeth greeing.

33 For the faithfulness that our friends the nation of the Jewes keepe vnto vs, and for their good will towardes vs, we are determined to doe their good.

34 Wherefore we alligne to them the coates of Judea with the three governements Aphteema, and Lydda, and Ramathe (which are added vnto Judea from the countrep of Samaria) and all that appertaineth to all them that facerice in Jeruſalem : both concerning the paymentes which the King tooke precerely afozetime, both for þ fruits of the earth, and for the fruits of the trees.

35 As for þ other things, appertaining vnto us

70 So that al that were of Jonathan's side, fled; and there was not one of them left, except Mattathias, the sonne of Joseph, the sonne of Calphi, the Captaines of the hoste.

or, *Abraham, a

71 Then Jonathan rent his clothes, and cast earth upon his head, and prayed,

72 And turned againe to them to fight, and put them to flight, so that they fled away.

73 Now when his owne men that were fled, lay this, they turned againe unto him, and helped him to followe after all unto their tentes at Lades, and there they camped.

74 So there were slaine of the strangers a same day about three thouland men, and Jonathan turned againe to Jerusalem.

Jonathan nowe seeing that the time was meete for him, chose certaine men, and sent them unto Rome, to establish and renew the friendship with them.

He sent letters also unto the Spartians and to other places, for the same purpose.

2 *Tarsus, Lacedaemonians.*

So they went unto Rome, and entred into the Senate, and laid, Jonathan the he Driest and the natiò of the Jewes sent vs unto you, for to renewe friendlippe with you, and the bonde of loue, as in times past.

9 But as for vs, we neede no such writings: for we haue the holy booke in our hands for comfort.

10 Neuertheles we thought it good to send vnto you, for the renewing of the brotherhoode and friendlippe, least we should be strange vnto you : for it is long since the time that he sent unto vs.

11 Wherefore we remember you at all seasons continually, and in the feasts and other days appoynted, when we offer sacrifices and prayers, as it is meete and convenient to thinke upon our biethzen.

12 And we reioycet at your piouserous estate.

13 And though we haue bene enuironed with great troubles and warres, so that the Kings rounde about vs haue fought against vs,

14 Act w'ould we not be grievous vnto you, noz

to other of our confederates and friendes in these warres.

15 For we haue had helpe from heaven, Phath succour'd vs, and we are delivered from our enemies, and our enemies are subdied.

16 Yet haue we chosen Numenius the sonne of Antiochus, and Antipater the sonne of Jalon, and sent them vnto the Romaines, for to renewe the former friendlipspe with them, and league.

17 We commanded the: alfo to go vnto you, and to salute you, and to deliver you our letters, concerning the renewing of our brotherhood.

18 And nowe we shall doe vs a pleasure to give vs an answere of these things.

19 And this was the copie of P. letters, which Arius the King of Sparta sent vnto Onias.

20 THE KING of the Spartians vnto Onias the he Driest sendeth greeting.

21 It is found in writing, that the Spartians and Jewes are biethzen, and come out of the generation of Abzaham.

22 And nowe for so much as this is come to our knowledge, ye shall do well, to write vnto vs of your piouseritie.

23 As for vs, we haue written vnto you, that your cattel and goods are ours, and ours are pours : these thinges haue we commanded to be shewed vnto you.

24 Now when Jonathan heard, that Demetrius prines were come to fight against him, with a greater hote then afore,

25 He went from Jerusalem, and met them in the land of Hamath : for he gaue the not space to come into his owne country.

26 And he sent Spies vnto their tentes, which came againe, and told him, that they were appointed to come upon him in the night.

27 Wherefoze, when the funne was gone downe, Jonathan commanded his mè to watch, and to be in armes ready to fight all the night, and sent watchmen round about the hote.

28 But when the aduerlaries heard that Jonathan was ready with his men to fight, they feared, and trebled in their hearts, and kindled fires in their tentes, and fled away.

29 Neuertheles Jonathan and his companie knewe it not till the moning: for they saw the fires burning.

30 Then Jonathan followed upon them, but he could not ouertake the: for they were gone ouer the flood Eleutherus.

31 So Jonathan turned to the Arabians, which were called Zabedei, and flewe them, and tooke their spoyle.

32 He proceeded further alfo, and came vnto Damascus, and went thorow all the country.

33 But Simon his brother went forthwith, and came to Ascalon and to the next holds, departing vnto Joppe, and wanne it.

34 For he heard that he would deliver the holde to them that tooke Demetrius part : wherefoze he let a garifon there to keepe it.

35 After this came Jonathan home, and called the Elders of p people together, a deuised with

not the money and the children, therefoe is Jonathan dead.

19 So he sent the children and an hundred talents; but he disembled, and would not let Jonathan go.

20 Afterward came Tryphon into the lande to destroy it, and went round about by þ way, þ leaderth unto Adoza : but wherefoener they went, thither went Simon and his hoste.

21 Nowe they that were in the castle, sent messengers unto Tryphon, that he shoulde make himselfe to come by the wildernesse, and to sende them vitaines.

22 So Tryphon made ready all his horsemen: but the same night fell a very great snowe, to that he came not, because of þ snow: but he復moned and went into the countrep of Galaad.

23 And when he came neere to Baltama, he flew Jonathan, and he was buried there.

24 So Tryphon returned, and went into his owne land.

25 Then sent Simon to take the bones of Jonathan his brother, and they buried him in Modin his fathers citie.

26 And all Israel bewapped him with great lamentation, and mourned for him very long.

27 And Simon made upon þepulchre of his father and his brethren, a building high to looke vnto, of hewen stone behind and before,

28 And set vp seven pillars upon it, one against another, for his father, his mother, and foure brethren,

29 And set great pillars round about them, and set armes vp on the pillars for a perpetual memory, a carried hippes beside the armes, that they might be scene of men sayling in the sea.

31 Now as Trypho went forth with þong King Autochus, he flew him traiterously.

32 And reigned in his steade, and crowned him selfe King of Alla, and brought a great plague upon the land.

33 Simon also built vp þ castels of Judea, and compalied them about with high towres, and great walles, cuen with towres, and gates and barres, and laied vp vitaines in the strong holdes.

34 Moreouer Simon chose certaine men and sent them to King Demetrius, that he would discharge the land: for all Tryphons doings were robberies.

35 Whereupon Demetrius the King answere him, and wrote vnto him after this maner,

36 DEMETRIVS the King vnto Simon the high Driect, and the friende of Kings, and to the Elders and to the nation of the Jews feaweth greeting.

*or, color, or

37 The golden crownne, and * precious stone that he let vnto us, haue we received, and are readie to make a fedfast peace with you; and to write vnto the officers, to release you of the things wherein we made you free.

38 So the things that we haue graunted you, shall be stable: the strong holdes which he haue

buplded, shall be your owne.

39 Also we forgiue the overlights, & fautes committed vnto this day, & the croune taxe that we ought vs: & where as was any other tribute in Jerusalem, it shall be now no tribute.

40 And they that are meete among you to be written with our men, let them be written vp, that there may be peace betweene vs.

41 Thus the yoke of the heathen was taken from Israel in the hundred and seuentie pecte.

42 And the people of Israel began to write in their letters, and publike instruments, IN THE FIRST pecte of Simon, the high and chiefe Driect, gournour a prince of þ Jews.

43 In those daies Simon camped against Ga-a, and besieged it rounde about, where he let by an engine of warre, and approached nere the citie, and beat a towre, and took it.

44 So they that were in the engine, leapt into the citie, & there was great trouble in þ citie,

45 In so much that the people of the citie rent their clothes, and clined vp upon the walles with their walles, and childe, and crped with a lowde bovce, beceching Simon to graune them peace, sayling,

46 Dcale not with vs according to our wite-kednes, but according to thy mercie.

47 Then Simon pitied them, and would fight no more against them, but put them out of the citie, and eluded the houres, wherein the idols were, and so entred thereunto with Palmeis and thankesgiuing.

48 So when he had cast all the filthines out, he let such men in as kept the Lawe, a fortified it, and builded there a dwelling place for him selfe.

49 Nowe, when they in the castel at Jerusalem were kepte, that they could not come forth noz goe into the countrep, neither buve noz fell, they were very hungry, and many of them were famished to death,

50 In so much that they beought Simon to make peace with them: which he graunted them, and put them out from thence, & eluded the castel from filthines.

51 And upon the thice and twentie day of the second moneth, in the hundred and seuentie and one pecte, they entred into it with thankesgiuing, and branches of palmetrees, and with harpes, and with cymbales, and with violes, and with palmeis, and songs, because þ great enemy of Israel was overcome.

52 And he ordained that the same day should be kept every pecte with gladnes.

53 And he fortified the mount of the Temple that was beside the castel where he dwelt him selfe with his companie.

54 Simo also seeing that John his sonne was nowe a man, he made him captaine of all the hostes, and caused him to dwell in Gazaris,

of David at Jerusalem, where they had made them a castel, out of the which they went, and deciled all things that were about the Sanctuary, and did great hurt unto religion.

37 And he set the Jews in it, and koftified it, for the assurance of the lande, and citie, and raiſed vp the walls of Jerusalem.

38 And King Demetrius confirmed him in his high Driethood for these causes,

39 And made him one of his friends, and gale him great honour.

40 For it was reported that the Romains called the Jews their friends, & confederates, and that they honourably received Simons ambassadours,

41 And that the Jews, and Driests contented, that Simon should be their prince, and high Driest perpetually, till God raiſed vp the true Driopter,

42 And that he ſhoule be their captain, & haue the charge of the Sanctuary, and so let men ouer the woozkes, and ouer the countrey, and ouer the weapons, and ouer the forſtelles, and that should make prouifion for † holy things,

43 And that he ſhoule be obeyed of every man, and that all the Writings in the countrey should be made in his name, & that he ſhoule be clothed in purple, and weare gold,

44 And that it ſhoule not be lawfull for any of the people or Driestes to breake any of these things, or to withſtad his words, or to cal any congregation in the countrey out of him, or be clothed in purple, or weare a collar of golde;

45 And if any did contrary to these things, or to make any of them he should be punished,

46 So it pleated all the people to agree that it should be done to Simo according vnto these words,

47 Simon also accepted it, and was content to be the high Driest, and the captain, and the prince of the Jews, and of the Driestes, and to be the chiche of all,

48 And they commanded to set vp this writing in tables of braille, and to fasten it to the wall that compassed the Sanctuary in an open place,

49 And that a topic of the fame ſhoule be laped vp in the treaſarie, that Simon and his ſonnes might haue it.

1 M discovered King Antiochus the sonne of Demetrius ſent letters from the ples of the Sea vnto Simon the Driest, a prince of the Jews, and to all the nation,

2 Containing these words, ANTIOCHVS the King vnto Simon the great Driest, and to the nation of the Jews ſendeth greeting.

3 For so much as certeine pestilent men haue bluured the kingdome of our fathers, I am purpoſed to chalenge the Realme againe, and to reſcove it to the olde estate: wherefore I haue gathered a great hoſte, and prepared ſhippes of warre,

4 That I may goe thence vnto the countrey, and be auenged of them, which haue destroyed our countrey, and wasted manie cities in the Realme.

5 Now therefore I do confieme vnto thee al the liberties, whereof all the Kings my p[ro]geni-tours haue discharged thee, and all the pap-ments, whereof they haue released thee.

6 And I give thee leaue to coin[e] mony of thine owne ſampe within thy countrey,

7 And that Jerusalem, and the Sanctuary be free, and that al the weapons, that thou haſt prepared, and the forſtelles, which thou haſt builded, and keepeſt in thine hands, shall be thine.

8 And al that is due vnto the King, and al that shall be due vnto the King, I forgiue it thee, from this time forth for evermore.

9 And when we haue obtained our kingdome, we will giue thee, and thy nation, & the Tem-ple great honour, so that your honour shall be knowne throughout the world.

11 So the King Antiochus puruſed him, but he fled and came to Doza, which lyeth by the sea ſide.

12 For he saw that troubles were toward him, and that the armie had ſoſaken him.

13 The camped Antiochus againſt Doza with an hundred[th] and twentie thouſande ſighting men, and eight thouſand h[o]ſlemen.

14 So he compassed the citie about, and † ships came vp the Sea. Thus they pressed the citie by lande, and vp the Sea, in so much that they suffered no man to go in nor out.

15 In the meane season came Numenius, and his companie from Rome, hauing letters written vnto the Kinges and countries, wherein were contained these words,

16 LVCIVS the Conſul of Rome vnto King P[ot]olcmus ſendeth greeting.

17 The ambassadours of † Jews are come vnto you as our friends & confederates from Simo the h[ie] Driest, & from the people of the Jews to renewe friendſhip, and the bond of loue,

18 who have brought a shield of gold weping a thousand pound.

19 Wherefore we thought it good to write vnto the Kings and countrie[s], that they should not go about to hurt them, nor to fight against them, nor their cities, nor their countrey, ne[th]er to mainteine their enemies against them.

20 And we were content to receive of them the shield.

21 If therefore there be any pestilent fellowes fled from their countrey vnto you, deliver the them vnto Simon the h[ie] Driest, that he may puniſh them according to their owne Lawe.

22 The same things were written to Demetrius the King, and to Attalus, and to Arathes, and to Araces,

and to Gnidion, and to Cyprus, and to Lyzene.

24 And they sent a copie of them to Simon the
hie Prieſt.

25 So Antiochus the King camped againſt
Dora the leacone time cuer readie to take it, and
made diuers engins of warre, and kept Try-
phon in, that he could neither go in noſt out.

26 Then Simon ſent him two thouſand choſe
men to helpe him with ſiluer and golde, and
much ſurniture.

27 Feuertheles, he would not receiue them, but
haſke all your cuenant, which he had made with
him aſſore, and withdewe him ſelſe from him,

28 And ſent vnto him Aſthenobius one of his
friends to comune with him, laying, with-
holde Joppe, and Gazuara with the castel that
is at Jeruſalem, the citie of my Realme,

29 Whose boſders ye haue deſtroped and done
great hurt in the land, and haue the governingneſt
of many places of my kingdome.

30 Wherefore nowe deliver the cities, which ye
haue taken, with the tributes of the places,
that ye haue rule ouer without the boſders of
Judea,

31 Of their give me for them ſue hundreth talents
of ſiluer, and for the harme that ye haue done,
and for the tributes of places other ſue hun-
dreth talents: if not, we will come, and fight
againſt you.

32 So Aſthenobius the Kings friende came to
Jeruſalem, and when he ſaw the honour of
Simon, and the cupboſd of golde and ſiluer
plate, and ſo great preparation, he was aſto-
uſhed, and tolde him the Kings message.

33 Then anſwered Simon, and ſaid vnto him, we
haue neither taken other mens landes, nor
withholden any which apperteineth to others:
but our fathers heritage, which our enemies
had vnrighteously in poſſession a certeine time.

34 But when we had occasion, we recovered the
inheritance of our fathers.

35 And whereas thou requireſt Joppe and Ga-
zara, they did great harme to our people, and
thorow our countrey, yet we give an hundred
talents for them. But Aſthenobius an-
swered him not one word,

36 But turned againe angrie vnto the King, and
tolde him all theſe wordes, and the dignitie of
Simon, with al that he had ſeene: and the King
was very angrie.

37 In the meane time ſled Tryphon by ship
vnto Orthoſias.

38 Then the King made Lendebeus captaine
of the sea coaſt, and gaue him bandes of foote-
men and horſemen,

39 And commanded him to remoue the hoſſe
towarde Judea, and to builde vp Cedron, and to
fortiſe your gates, and to warre against the peo-
ple: but the King purſued Tryphon.

40 So Lendebeus came vnto Jamnia, and began
to dere the people, and to inuade Judea, and to
take the people prisoners, and to ſlay them,

41 And he builſte vp Cedron, where he let horſe-
men and garilons, that they might make our-
rodes by the wapes of Judea, as the King had

1 Lendebeus the captaine of Antiochus hoſſe is put to flight by the ſonnes of Simon, 11 Ptolemeus the ſonne of Abubus killed: Simon and his two ſonnes at a banker. 12 John killed them that they in warre for his life.

Then came John vp from Gazuara, and tolde
Simon his father, what Lendebeus
had done.

So Simon called two of his eldest ſonnes,
Judas and John, and ſaide vnto them, I, and
my children, and my fathers houſe, haue euer
from our youth vnto this day fought against
the enemies of Israel, and the matters haue
had good successe under our hands, and we
haue deliuered Israel often times.

But I am now old, and ye by God's mercie are of
a sufficient age: be ye therefore in steade of me,
and my brother, and go forth and fight for our
generation, and the helpe of heauen be with you.

So he chold twentie thouſand fighting men
of the countrey with the horſemen, which
went kooſth against Lendebeus, and rested at
Modin.

In the morning they aſore, and went into the
plaine field: and behold, a mightie great hoſſe
came against them both of footemen, and horſe-
men: but there was a river betwixt them.

And John ranged his armie ouer against
him, and when he ſaw that the people was a-
fraide to goe ouer the river, he went ouer ſyft
him ſelſe, and the men ſeeing him, palled through
after him.

Then he deuided his men, and let the horſe-
men in the middes of the footemen.

For their enemies horſemen were very ma-
ny: but when they blew the trumpets, Lende-
beus fled with his hoſſ, whereof many were
flaine, and the remnant gateth them to the for-
tresse.

The was Judas John's brother wounded:
but John followed after them, till he came to
Cedron, which Lendebeus had built.

10 Also they ſled vnto the towers, that were in
the fields of Azotus, and those did John burne
with fire: thus were there flaine two thouſand
men of the: to he returned peaceably into the
land of Judea.

11 Now in the field of Jericho was Ptole-
meus your sonne of Abubus made captaine, and
he had abundance of ſiluer and golde.

12 (For he had married the daughter of the hie Prieſt.)

13 Therefore he waned proude in his minde,
and thought to rule the lande, and thought to
lay Simon and his ſonnes by deceit.

14 Now as Simon went about thozothe cities
of the countrey, and studied carefully for
them, he came down to Jericho with Matta-
thias, and Judas his ſonnes in the hundred,
feuentie and ſeuen peere, in the eleuenth mo-
neth, which is the moneth Sabat.

15 Then the ſonne of Abubus received them by
treason into a little hold, called Dochus, which

he had built, where he made them a great ban-
ket, and had hid men there.

16 So when Simon and his sons had made good there, Ptolemeus stood up with his me, & tooke their weapons, & entred in to Simon in the banket houſe, & ſlewe him with his two ſonnes, and certaine of his ſeruants.

17 Whereby he committed a great vilenic, and recompenceuill for good.

18 Then wrote Ptolemeus these things ſent to the King, that he might ſend him an hoſte to helpe him, and ſo would deliver him the country with the cities.

19 He ſent other men also vnto Gaſara, to take John, and ſent letters vnto the captaines to come to him, and he wouſle give them ſiluer, and golde and rewards.

20 And to Jeruſale, he ſent other to take it, and the mountaine of the temple.

21 But one tanne before, and ſolde John in Ga-
zara, that his father, and his diſtren were
ſaine, and that Ptolemeus had ſent to slay him.

22 When he heard this, he was soze asuonſbed, and laid hands of the ſ were come to slay him, and ſlewe them: for he knew that they went about to kill him.

23 Concerning other things of John, both of his warres, and of his noble acts (wherein he behaued him ſelſe manfully) of the building of walles which he made, and other of his deedes,

24 Behold, they are written in the chronicles of his Priethood, from the time, ſ he was made high Priest after his father.

and p[ro]ſperitie.

3 And give you all an heart, to worſippe him, and to doe his will with a whole heart & with a willing minde,

4 And open your hearts in his Law, and commandements, and ſende you peace,

5 And heare your prayers, & be reconciled with you, and neuer forſake you in time of trouble.

6 Thus nowe we prap here for you.

7 When Demetrius reigned, in the hundreth,
three ſcore and nynth yeere, we Jewes wroſe
unto you in the trouble, & violence that came
unto vs in those yeeres, after that Jafon, and
his companie departed out of the holy lande
and kingdome,

8 And burnt y p[ro]ch, and ſhed innocent blood.
Then we prayed vnto y Lord, & were heard:
we offered ſacrifices & fine flower, and lighted
the lampes, and ſet forſth the b[read].

9 Nowe therefore keefe ye y d[av]es of the feast of the Tabernacles in the moneth Chafien.

10 In the hundreth, ſouſe ſcore and eight yeere, the people that was at Jeruſalem, and in Ju-Dea, and the counſel and Judas, vnto Arisſo-bulus King P[to]lemeus maſter, which is of the ſtoke of the anoynted Priekſs, and to the Jewes that are in Egypt, ſendeth g[re]eting and health.

11 In ſo much as GOD h[ad] delivered vs from great perils, we thanke him highly, as though we had ouercome the King.

12 For he brought them into D[er]sia by heapes,
that fought against the holy citie.

13 For albeit the captaine, and the armie, that was to him, ſeemed inuincible, yet they were ſaine in the Temple of P[ane]a, by the decede of P[ane]as Priekſs.

14 For Antiochus, as though he would dwel w

het, came thither, he, and his friends with him,
to receive moneyp under the title of a dowd.

25 But when the Priekſs of P[ane]a had laid it forth, and he was entred with a small company within the Temple, they bur y Temple, when Antiochus was come in.

26 And by opening a priuie doore of the baute, they cast stones, as it were thunder, vpon the captaine and his, ſhauing bruſed them in p[ic]es, they cut of their heads and threw them to those that were without.

17 God be bleſſed in all things, which hath deli-
uered up the wicked.

18 Whereas we are now purpoxed to keepe the purification of the Temple vpon the ſue and twenty ſay of y moneth Chafien, we thought it neceſſarie to certifie you thereof, that we alio might keepe the feast of the Tabernacles, and of the ſyze which was giuen vs when P[ae]emias offered ſacrifice, after y he had built the Tem-ple, and the altar.

19 For when as our fathers were led away vnto P[er]sia, the Priekſs, which ſought y honour of God, tooke the * fire of the altar priuill, and hid it in an hollowe pit, which was D[ie] in the bottome, and therein they kept it, so that the place was unknowne vnto euery man.

20 Now after manie p[er]eares wh[ie] it pleated God that P[ae]emias should be ſent from y King of P[er]sia, he ſent of y poſterity of those P[riek]ſs, which had hid it to fetch the fire, as they told vs, they found no fire, but thicke water.

21 Then commanded he them to dawe it vp, & to bring it: as when the thinges apperteining to the ſacrifices were brought, P[ae]emias com-manded the Priekſs to Sprinkle the wood, and the things laid thereupon with water.

22 When this was done, as the time came that the Sunne shone, which afore was hid in the cloude, there was a great fire kindled, so that euery man marueiled.

23 Now the Priekſs, and all prayed, while the
ſacrifice was consuming: Jonathan began, &
the other anſwered thereunto.

24 And y prater of P[ae]emias was after this ma-
ner, D[io] Lord. Lord God maker of all thinges,
which art ſtearful, and strong, and rightouſ,
and mercieſul, as the onely and gratiouſ King,

26 Receive the sacrifice for thy whole people of Israel, and preserve thine own portion, and sanctify it.

27 Gather those together, þ are scattered from vs: deliver them that serve among the heathen: looke upon them which are despised, and abhozred, that the heathen may knowe that thou art our God.

28 Punish the that oppzesse vs, and with pride do vs wrong.

29 Plant thy people againe in thine holy place
as Myles hath spoken.

Deut.30:5

30 And the Priests lang Psalmes thereunto.

31 Nowe when the sacrifice was consumed, Neemias commanded the great Kones to be sprinkled with the residue of the water.

32 Which when it was done, there was kindled a flame, which was consumed by the light, that shined from the altar.

33 So when this matter was knowe, it was tolde the king of Tyrkia, that in þ place where the Priests, which were led away, had hid fire, there appeared water, where with Neemias & his company had purified the sacrifices.

34 The King tried out the thing, and closed the place about, and made it holy.

35 And to them that the King favoured, he gaue and bestowed many gifts.

36 And Neemias called the same place: Eph that, which is to say, purification: but many men call it Nephtah.

1 You Jeremiae hid the tabernacle, the Arke and the altar in the pit; 2 Of the fire books of Jafon contained in one.

It is found also in the Writings of Jeremias the Prophet, that he commanded them, which were carried away, to take fire, as was declared, and as the Prophet commanded them that were led into Captivity,

* Giving them a lawe that they should not forget the commandements of the Lord, and that they should not erre in their mindes, who they sawe images of golde and silver, with their ornaments.

Baruch. 6.

3 These and such other things commanded he them, and exhozted them that they should not let the Lawe go out of their heartes.

4 It is written also, how the Prophet, by an o- tacle that he had, charged them to take the ta- bernacle and the Arke, and followe him: and who he came vp into þ motitaine where Mop- kes went vp, * and sawe the heritage of God,

5 Jeremias went forth, and found an hollow caue, wherein he lapde the Tabernacle, and the Arke, and the altar of incense, and so stopt the dooze.

Deut.34:1

6 And there came certaine of those that followed him, to marke the place: but they could not finde it.

7 Which when Jeremias perceived, he repzoued them, taping, As for þ place, it shalbe unknowne, vntill þ time þ God gather his people together againe, a that mercie be shewed.

8 Then shall the Lord shew these things, and the maieſtie of the Lord shall appeare and the cloude also, as it was shewd under Mop-

ſes, and as * when Salomon desired, that the place might be honoably sanctified.

For it is manifeſt that he, being a wife man, offered the * sacrifice of dedication, and conſeration of the Temple.

10

* And as when Myles playd vnto þ Lord, the fire came downe from heauen, and conſumed the sacrifice: so, when Salomon playd, * the fire came down from heauen, and conſumed the burnt offering.

11 And Myles layd, Because the Sunne offering was not eaten, therefoe is it consumed.

12 So Salomon kept those eight days.

13 These things also are declared in the Writings, and registers of Neemias, and how he made a libzarie, and howe hee gathered the actes of the Kings, and of the Prophets, and the actes of David, a the epitles of the Kings concerning the holy gifts.

14 Even so Judas also gathered al things that came to palle by the warres that were among vs, which things we haue.

15 Wherefore if we haue neede thereof, lend come to fetch them vnto you.

16 Where as we then are about to celebrate the purification, wee haue written vnto you, and ye shall do well, if ye keepe the same daves.

17 We hope also that the God, which deliuered all his people, and gaue an heritage to them all and the kingdome, and the Priekthode, and the Sanctuaric.

18 As he promised in þ lawe, will shortly haue mepry þo vs, a gather vs together from under þ heauen into his holy place: for he haue fauiled vs from great perils, a hath cloſed the place.

19 As concerning Judas Maccabeus, and his brethren, the purification of the great Temple, and the dedication of the Arak,

20 And the warres against Antiochus Epiphanes, and Epatoz his ſonne,

21 And the manifeſt ſignes, that came from heauen vnto those, which manfully stooke for the Jewes religion: (for though they were but fewe, yet they ranne through whole coútreis, and purkued the barbarous armies,

22 And repaired the Temple that was renowmed throughout all the world, and delivered the citie, and eſtablished the Lawes, that were like to bee abolished, because the Lord was mercieſul vnto them with all lenitie.

23 Wee will allape to abbridge in one volume those things, that Jafon the Lyzenean hath declared in ſine booke.

so we also for many mens fakes are verie well
content to undertake this great labour.

28 Leaning to the authour the exact diligence
of euery particular, we will labour to goe for-
ward according to the preſcript order of an
abridgement.

29 For as he that will build a new house, must
provide for the whole building, but hee that
fetteth out the plat or goeth about to paint it,
feeketh but onely what is comely for the dec-
king thereof:

30 Even so I thinke for vs, that it appertaineth
to the first writer of a storie to enter deeply
into it, and to make mention of al things, and
to be curious in euery part.

31 But it is permitted to him that will show
it, to be fewe words, to auoyde those things
that are curious therein.

32 Here then will we beginne the storie, adding
thus much to our former words, that it is but
a foolish thing to abound in words before the
storie, and to be short in the storie.

1 Of the honour done vnto the Temple by the Kings of the Gentiles.
2 Simon vntereth what treaure is in the Temple.
3 Heliodorus is sent to take them away.
4 He is stricken of God, and healed at the temple of Onias.

1 W
hat time as the holy citie was inha-
bited with all peace, and when the
Lawes were verie well kept, because
of the godlines of Onias the hie Priest, ha-
tred of wickednes,
It came to palle that euen the Kings did ho-
nour the place, and garnished the Temple
with great giftes.
In so much that Selcucus King of Asia of
his owne rentes, bare all the costs belonging
to the seruise of the sacrifices.
But one Simon of the tribe of Benjamin
being appointed ruler of the Temple, conten-
ded with the hie Priest concerning" the iniqui-
tie committed in the citie.
And when he could not ouercome Onias, he
gate him to Apollonius the sonne of Thza-
leas, which then was gouernour of Coeloly-
ria and Phenice,
And tolde him that the treaſurie in Jerusale
was full of innumerable money, which did
not belong to the prouision of the sacrifices,
that it were poffible that these things might
come into the Kings hands.
Nowe when Apollonius came to the King,
and had ſhewed him of the money, as it was
tolde him, the King chose out Heliodorus his
treasurer, and lent him with a commaunde-
ment, to bring him the forefaid money.
Immediately Heliodorus tooke his journey
as though he would viſite the cities of Cocol-
phia and Phenice, but in effect to fulfill the
Kings purpose.
So when hee came to Jerusale, and was
courtously received of the hie Priest into the
citie, he declared what was determined con-
cerning the money, ſhewed the cause of his
toing, and asked if these things were so
in vcede.

10 Then the hie Priest tolde him that there
were such things laid vp by the widowes and
fatherles,
And that a certaine of it belonged vnto Hr-
canus the sonne of Tobias a noble man, not
as that wicked Simo had reſocted, and that
in all, there were but foure hundreth talents
of filuer, and two hundreth of golde,

11 And that a certaine of it belonged vnto Hr-
canus the sonne of Tobias a noble man, not
as that wicked Simo had reſocted, and that
in all, there were but foure hundreth talents
of filuer, and two hundreth of golde,
And that it were altogether vnpossible to do
this wong to them that had committed it of
trust to the holines of the place and Temple,
which is honoured thoroowe the whole world
for holines and integritie.

12 And that it were altogether vnpossible to do
this wong to them that had committed it of
trust to the holines of the place and Temple,
which is honoured thoroowe the whole world
for holines and integritie.
13 But Heliodorus because of the Kings com-
mandement given him, said that in any wyle
it must be brought into the Kings treaſurie.
14 So he appointed a day, and went in to take
order for these things: then there was no small
griekc throughout the whole citie.

14 So he appointed a day, and went in to take

15 For the Priests fell downe before the altar in
the Priests Garments, and called vnto heau
pon him which had made a Law concerning
things giuen to bee kept, that they should bee
falely preserued for such as had committed
them to be kept.

16 Then they that looked the hie Priest in the
face, were wounded in their heart: for his cou-
tenance, and the changing of his colour decla-
ted the zolowe of his minde.

16 Then they that looked the hie Priest in the
face, were wounded in their heart: for his cou-
tenance, and the changing of his colour decla-
ted the zolowe of his minde.
17 The man was so wrapped in feare & trem-
bling of the body, that it was manifest to them
that looked upon him, what zolowe he had in
his heart.

18 Others also came out of their houses by
heapes vnto the common prayer, because the
place was like to come vnto contempt.

19 And the women, girt with sackloth under
their bzafts, filled the streets, and the virgins
that were kept in, ranne some to the gates, and
some to the walles, and others looked out of
the windows.

20 And all helde vp their hands toward hea-
uen, and made prayer.

21 It was a lamentable thing to see the multi-
tude that fell downe of all zoltes, and the ex-
pectation of the hie Priest being in such an-
quish.

22 Therefoe they called vpon the almightie
Lorde, that hee would keepe safe and sure the
things, which were layed vp for those that had
deliuered them.

23 Penertheles, the thing that Heliodorus was
determined to do, that did he performe.

24 And as he and his soldiers were now there
present by the treasury, he that is the Lord of
the spirits, and of all power, shewed a great
vision, so that al they which prefumed to come
with him, were astonished at the power of
God, and fell into feare, and trembling.

25 For there appeared vnto them an horse with
a terrible man sitting vpon him, moſt richly
barbed, and he tanne ſtereely, and mote at He-
liodorus with his forefeet. It seemed that he
that fate vpon the horse, had harnelle of gold.

eucric kine yeere, were plaied at Tyrus, the
King being present,

19 This wicked Jalon sent from Jerusalem
men to looke upon them, as though they had
bene Antiochians, which brought three hundred
machnes of silver for a sacrifice to Her-
cules: albeit they that carried them, defied
they might not bee bestowed on the sacrifice
(because it was not comely) but to be bestowed
for other expences.

20 So hee that sent them, sent them for the sacrifice of Hercules: but because of those that brought them, they were giuen to the making of gallicies.

21 Now Apollonius the sonne of Menes
was sent into Egypt because of the co-
ronation of King Ptolemeus Philometor:
but when Antiochus perceived that hee was
eueil affectioned toward his affaires, he sought
his owne allurance, and departed from thence
to Joppe, and so came to Jerusalem,

22 Where he was honourably received of J-
alon, and of the citie, and was brought in with
torchlight, and with great shoutings, and so
he went with his hoste unto Phenice.

23 Three yeere afterward Jalon sent Mene-
laus, the forefaid Simons brother, to beare
the monep unto the King, to bring to passc
certaine necessarie affaires, whereof hee had
given him a memoriall.

24 But he being comended to the King, magni-
sied him for the appearance of his power, and
turned the Priesthode unto him selfe: for hee
gave three hundred talents of silver moze
then Jalon.

25 So he gate the Kings⁹ letters patèts, albeit
he had nothing in him selfe worthie of the yie
Priesthode, but bare the stomacke of a cruell
typrant, and the wyath of a wilde beast.

26 Then Jalon, which had deceived his owne
brother, being deceived by another, was com-
pelled to fee into the countrey of the Am-
monites.

27 So Menelaus gate the dominion: but as for
the money that hee had promised unto the
king, he tooke none order for it, albeit Sofra-
tus the ruler of the castell required it.

28 For unto him apperteined the gathering of
the customes: wherefore they were both cal-
led before the King.

29 Now Oenelaus left his brother Lympa-
chus in his steade in the priesthode, and So-
stratus left Crates which was gouvernour of
the<sup>b</sup> Epyrians.

30 While these things were in doing, the
Tharclians and they of Mallot made infor-
rection, because they were giuen to the Kings
concubine called Antiochis.

31 Then came the King in all haulte, to appeale
the busines, leauing Andronicus a man of au-
thoritie to be his lieutenant.

32 Now Henclaus, supposing that he had got-
ten a convenient time, stole certaine vessels of
gold out of the Temple, and gave certaine of
them to Andronicus: and some he sold at Ty-
tus and in the cities thereby.

33 Which when Onias knewe of a suretie, hee
reprized him, and withdrew him selfe into a
Sanctuarie at Daphne by Antiochia.

34 Whereof Menelaus, taking Andronicus
apart, pized him to slaye Onias: so when
he came to Onias, hee counseled him craftily,
giving him his right hand with an other: how-
beit hee suspect him, and persuaded him to
come out of the Sanctuary so he knewe him
incontinently without any regard of righ-
teouines.

35 For the which cause not onely the Jews,
but many other nations also were gricued, he
tooke it heauily for the vnrighteous death of
this man.

36 And when the King was come againe from
the places about Cilicia, p Jews that were
in the citie, and certaine of the Greckes that
abhorred the facte also, complained because
Onias was slaine without cause.

37 Therefore Antiochus was soie in his minde,
and he had compation, and wept because of
the modeste and great discretion of him that
was dead.

38 Whereof being kindled with anger, he tooke
away Andronicus garment of purple, rent
his clothes, and commaunded him to bee led
throughout the citie, and in the same place
where hee had committed the wickednes a-
gainst Onias, he was slayne as a murtherer.
Thus the Lord was rewarded him his punishe-
ment, as he had deferued.

39 Now when Lyليمах had done many
wicked deeds in the citie through the coun-
sell of Menelaus, and the huite was spread
abroade, the multitude gathered them toge-
ther against Lymachus: for hee had carried
out nowe much vessel of golde.

40 And when the people arose, and were full of
anger, Lymachus armed about three thou-
land, and began to do an unlawful power, a cer-
taine typrant being their captaine, who was
no lesse decaped in witte then in age.

41 But when they understood the purpose of
Lymachus, some gate stones, some great
c clubbes, and some cast handfuls of dust, which
lay by upon Lymachus men, and those that
inuaded them.

42 Whereby many of them were wounded, some
were slaine, and all the other chased away: but
the wicked Churehrodder him selfe, they kil-
led besides the treaureie.

43 For these causes an accusation was laid against Menelaus.

44 And when the King came to Tyros, three
men sent from the Senate pleaded the cause
before him.

45 But Menelaus, being nowe conuinceid, pro-
mited to Ptolemeus the sonne of Dorimenes
much money, if he would perfwade the King.

46 So Ptolemeus went to the King into a court,
where as he was to coole him self, and turned
the Kings minde.

47 In so much that hee discharged Menelaus
from the accusations (not withstanding he was
the cause of al mischiefe) and condemned those
poore

delivered from death, I am scourged and suffer
these soze paines of my bodies; but in my minde
I suffer them gladly for his religion.

CHAP. VII.

The punishment of the leuen hzethren and of the mother.

1 I came to pase also that leuen hzethren,
with their mother, were taken to be com-
pelled by the King against the Law, to taffe
Wines flesh, were tozmented with scourges
and whippes.

2 But one of them, which I spake first, said thus,
What seckeft thou, and what wouldest thou
knowe of vs, we are readie to die, rather then
to transgrefse the Lawes of our fathers.

3 Then was the King angrie, and commended
to heate pannes and cauldzons, which were
incontinently made hote.

4 And he commanded the tongue of him that
I spake first, to be cut out, and to flap him and to
cut of the vtnmost parts of his body in the fight
of his other hzethren and his mother.

5 Now when he was thus mangled in all his
members, hee commanded him to be brought
alone to the fire and to fire him in the panne ; a
while the smoke for a long time smoked out of
the panne, the other brethren with their mo-
ther, exhortèd one another to dye courageou-
lp, saying in this maner,

6 The Lord God doeth regard vs, as in decede
taketh pleasure in vs, as Hopes * declared in
the song wherein hee testified openlie, saying,
That God will take pleasure in his feruants.

Deu.32:36

7 So wh the first was dead after this ma-
ner, they brought the second to make him a
mocking flock: and when they had pulled the
skinne with the heare ouer his head, they af-
ked him, if he would cate, or he were punisbed
in all the members of the bodie.

8 But he answered in his owne language, and
said, No, wherefore he was tozmented sozth-
with like the first.

9 And when he was at the last breath, he said,
Thou murtherer takest this pzeſent life from
vs, but the King of the world will rayſe vs vp,
which dye for his Lawes, in the eſurrection
of euerlasting life.

10 After him was the third had in derision, a
when they demanded his tongue, he put it out
incontinently, and stretched sozth his hands
boldely,

11 And I spake manfully, These haue I had fro
the heauen, but nowe for the Lawes of God, I
delispè them, and trust that I shall receive the
of him againe.

12 In so much that the King and they which
were with him, marueiled at the pong mans
courage, as at one that nothing regarded the
paines.

13 Now when he was dead also, they bened
and tozmented the fourth in like maner.

14 And when hee was nowe readie to dye, hee
said thus, It is better that we should change

this which we might hope for of men, a waite
for our hope from God, that we may be rapted
by againe by him: as for thee, thou halt haue
no refurrection to life.

15 Afterward they brought the first also and
tozmented him,

16 Who looked upon the King, and said, Thou
halt power among men, and though thou bea
a moſtall man, thou doest what thou wilt: but
thinke not, that God hath forſaken our natiſ.

17 But abide a while, a thou halt fee his great
power, how he will toment thee a thy ſeede.

18 After him also they brought the sixte, who
being at the point of death, faide, Decieue not
thy ſelſe fooliſhly: for we suſfer these things,
which are wort hy to bee wondred at for our
own ſakes, because we haue offek'd our God.

19 But thinke not thou, which undertaketh to
ſight againſt God, y thou halt be vnpunished.

20 But the mother was marueilous aboue all
other, and wort hy of honourable memorie: for
when the lawe her leuen ſonnes ſaine within
the space of one daye, the ſuffered it with a good
will, because of the hope that shee had in the
Lord.

21 Pea, the exhortèd euerie one of them in her
owne language, and being full of courage and
wisedome, stirred vp her womanly affections
with a manly stomacke, and said unto them,

22 I can not tell how pe came into my wombe:
for I neither gaue you breath no life: it is not
that I let in order the members of your body,

23 But doubtles the Creatoſ of the world, which
formed the birth of man, and found out the be-
ginning of all things, will almoſ of his owne
mercie giue you breath and life againe, as pe
nowe regarde not your owne ſelues, for his
Lawes take.

24 Now Antiochus thinking him ſelbe deſpised,
and considering the inuurious words, while
the pongeſt was yet alive, hee did exhort him
not only with words, but twoze also into him
by an othe that he would make him riche and
welthie, if he would forſake the Lawes of his
fathers, a that he would take him as a friend,
and give him offices.

25 But when the pong man would in no case
hearke into him, the King called his mother,
and exhortèd that he would counsel the pong
man to laue his life.

26 And when hee had exhortèd her with manie
words, the p[ro]mised him that she would colſi-
fell her ſonne.

27 So he turned her into him, laughing the
cruell tyant to ſcorne, and I spake in her owne

I may receive thee in mercie with thy bethen.

30 While he was yet speaking these words, the pong man said, Whom waite ye for? I will not obey the Kings commandement: but I will obey the commandement of the Lawe that was given unto our fathers by Hopes.

31 And thou that imagines all mischiefe against the Hebrewes, shall not escape the hand of God.

32 For we suffer these things, because of our funes,

33 But though the living Lo'de be angrie with vs a little while for our challenging and correction, yet will hee be reconciled with his owne SERVANTS.

34 But thou, O man without religion and most wicked of all men, lift not thy self vp in vaine, which art puffed vp with uncertaine hope, and leftest thine hands against the SERVANTES of God.

35 For thou hast not yet escaped the judgement of almightie God, which teeth all things.

36 By this time then he hath suffered a little paine, are nowe under the divine covenant of everlasting life : but thou through the judgement of God, shall suffer just punishments for thy pride.

37 Therefore I, as my children have done, offer my bodie and life for the Lawes of our fathers, befeehing God, that hee will soone bee merciful unto our nation, and that thou by torment and punishment mayest confesse, that he is the only God,

38 And that in me and my children the wrath of the Almightie, which is righteously fallen upon all our nation, may cease.

39 Then the King being kindled with anger, raged more cruelly against him then the others, and tooke it grieuously, that hee was mocked.

40 So hee also dyed holily, and put his whole trust in the Lord.

41 Last of all after the Sonnes, was the mother put to death.

42 Let this now be enough spoken concerning the bankets, and extreme cruelties.

CHAP. VIII.

1 Judas fathereth together his hole. 2 Acanoiz is sent against Judas. 3 Judas erhört his Southers to collancie. 4 Acanoiz is overcome. 5 The Jewes gate thankes, after they have put their enemies to flight, diuising part of the Sonnes unto the fatherles and unto the Southers. 6 Timotheus and Bacchides are disconfited. 7 Acanoiz fleeth unto Antiochus.

1 Then Judas Maccabees, and they that were with him, went priuily into the townes, and called their kinkfolkes and friendes together, and tooke into the all such as continued in the Jewes religio, and allembled six thousand men.

2 So they called vp the Lord, that he would have an epe into his people, which was bened of every man, and have pitie upon the Temple that was defiled by wicked men.

3 And that hee would haue compassion upon the citie that was destroied, & almost brought to the ground, and that hee would heare the bope of the bloud that cried into him,

And that hee would remember the wicked slaughter of the innocent children, and the blasphemies committed against his Name, and that he woulde therefore his hatred against the wicked.

Now when Maccabees had gathered this multitude, hee could not bee withstand by the heathen: for the wrath of the Lo'de was turned into mercie.

Therefoize hee came at unwares, and burnt up the townes and cities: yet hee tooke the most commodious places, and clewed many of the enemies.

But specially hee vsed the nightes to make such affaultes, insomuch that the brute of his manlinelle was vsed every where.

So when Philippe saw that this ma incensed by little and little, and that things peforered with him for the most part, he wrote down to Ptolemeus the governor of Egyptia a Phoenice, to helpe him in the kings busines.

Then sent he speedily Acanoiz the sonne of Barroclus, a special friend of his, & gaue him of all nations of the heathen no lesse then twoe thousand men, to roote out the whole generation of the Jewes, and toyned worth him Gorgias a captain, which in matters of warre had great experience.

Acanoiz ordained also a tribute for the King of two thousand talents, which the Romains should have, to be taken of the Jewes that were taken prisoners.

Therefore immediately hee sent to the cities on the sea coast, promising them to have Jewes to be their friends, promising to fell foure-hoze and ten for one talent: but he considered not the vengeance of almightie God, that should come upon him.

When Judas then knewe of Acanoiz coming, he told them that were with him, of the coming of the armie.

Now were there some of the fearefull, which trusted not into the righteousness of God, but fled away, and abode not in that place.

But the other solde all that they had left, and besought the Lord together, to deliver them from that wicked Acanoiz, which had solde them, or euer he came nere them.

And though hee would not do it for their fakes, yet for the covenant made with their fathers, and because they called upon his holy and glorious Name.

And so Maccabees called his men together, about six thousand, exhorting them not to be afraid of their enemies, neither to fear the great multitude of the Gentiles, which came against them unrighteously, but to fight mally.

Setting before their epe the inurie that they had uniuely done to the holy place, and the crueltie done to the citie by derision, and the destruction of the orders established by their fathers.

For they, said he, trust in their weapons and boldnes: but our confidence is in the almightie God, which at a decree can both destroie them that come against vs, and all the world.

19 Mozeouer he admonifhed them of the helpe that God shewed vnto their fathers, as when there pcrifed an hundred and fourefcoze, and flue thoufand vnder * Sennachcrib,

20 And of the battell that they had in Babylon against the Galatians, how they came in al to the battell "eight thoufand, with foure thoufand Macedonians;" when the Macedonians were altonifhed, the eight thoufand clewe an hundred and twentic thoufand through the helpe that was giuen them fro heauen, whereby they had receiued many benefits.

21 Thus when he had made them bolde with these wordes, and readie to die for the Lawes and the countrep, hee deuided his armie into foure parties,

22 And made his owne biethzen captaines after the armie, towit, Simon, & Joseph & Jonathan, giuing eche one fiftene hundreth men.

23 And when Eleazarus had read the holpe booke, and giuen them a token of the helpe of God, Iudas which led the fozeward, towned with Acanoiz,

24 And because the Almightie helped them, they clewe aboue nine thoufand men, and wounded and maimed the moſt part of Acanoiz's holpe, and to put all to flight,

25 And tooke the money from thole that came to bep them, and purfued them farre: but lac-king time they returned.

26 For it was the day before the Sabbath, and therefoze they would no longer purſue them.

27 So they tooke their weapons, and spoiled the enemies, and kept the Sabbath, giuing thankes and praiing the Lord wonderfully, which had delivered them that day, & powred upon them the beginning of his mercie.

28 And after the Sabbath, * they distributed the spottes to the ficke, & to the fatherles, and to the widowes, and deuided the residue amoug themefulnes and their children.

29 When this was done, and they all had made a generall prayer, they beſought the mercifull Loode to be reconciled at the length with his ſeruants.

30 Afterward with one content they fell vpon Timotheus & Bacchides, & clew aboue twentie thoufand, and wan him & krong holdeſ, and deuided great spottes, and gaue an equal poſſion vnto the ficke, and to the fatherles, and to the widowes, and to aged perſons also.

31 Mozeouer they gathered their weapons together, and layed them vp diligently in conuenient places, and brought the remnant of the spottes to Jeruſalem.

32 They clewe also Philarches a moſt wicked perſon, which was with Timotheus, and had bered the Jewes many wapes.

33 And when they kept the feast of victorie in their countrep, they burnt Calliſhenes that had let fire vpon the holie gates, which was fled into a little hoſſe: to he receiued a reward meete for his wickednes.

34 And that moſt wicked Acanoiz, which had brought a thouſand matchants to die the Jewes,

35 He was through ſhelpe of the Lord brought downe of them whom he thought as nothing, in so much that he put of his gloriouſ raimet, and kledde ouerthwart the countrep like a ſu-gitie ſeruant, and came alone to Antiochia, with great diſhonour through the destruction of his hoſſe.

36 Thus he that promised to pay tribute to the Romaines, by meane of the prisoners of Jeruſalem, brought newes, that the Jewes had a *defender, and for this cause none could hurt the Jewes, because they followed the Lawes appointed by him.

A. The fame time, came Antiochus again with diſhonour out of the countrep of Persia.

5 For when he came to Jeruſpolis, and went about to robbe the Temple, and to lubeue the citie, the people ranne in a rage to defende the ſelues with their weapons, and put them to flight, and Antiochus was put to flight by the inhabitantes, and returned with ſhame.

6 Now when he came to Ecbatane, he underſtoode the things that had come vnto Acanoiz, and Timotheus.

7 And the being chafed in his ſume, he thought to impute to the Jewes their fault, which had put him to flight, and thereſoze comanded his charet man to diue continually, and to dif-patch the journey: for God's judgement compeſled him: for he had laid thus in his pride, I will make Jeruſalem a comon burping place of the Jewes, when I come thither.

8 But the Loode almightie and God of Israel ſmote him with an incurable and inuitable plague: for alloone as hee had spoken these wordes, a paine of the bowelles, that was re-medileſſe, came upon him, and ſoze torments of the inner parts,

9 And that moſt iuſtly: for hee had tożmented other mens bowels with diners, and strange torments.

10 Howbeit he would in no wile ecaſſe from his arrogancie, but swelled the moſe with pride, bethathing out ſprie in his rage against the Jewes, and commanded to hafe the journey: but it came to palle that hee fell downe from the charet that ranne wittly, to that all the members of his bodie were bruised with the great fall.

11 And thus he that a little aſoze thought hee might commande the cloudes of the sea ( to proude was he beyond the condition of man) and to weigh the hie mountaines in the baſance, was nowe cast on the grounde, and ca-ried in an hoſelitter, declaring vnto all the manifeſt power of God,

12 So that the worines came out of the heaſpide of this wicked man in abundance: and whiles he was alive, his fleſh fell of ſo paine and tożment, and all his armie was gricued at his ſinell.

3 C Thep of Joppe also did luch a bile acte: they praied the Jewes that dwelt among the, to goe with their wines and children into the ships, which they had prepared as though they had ought them none enuill will.

4 And so by the commo aduile of the citie, they obeyed them, and fuspeet nothing: but when they were gone forth into the decpe, thy drowne ned no lesse then two hundreth of them.

5 Nowe when Judas knewe of this crueltie shewed against his nation, he commanded those men that were with him, to make them ready.

6 And hauing called upon God the righteous Judge, he went forth against the murtheerers of his bezethen, and let fire in the hauen by night, and burnt the ships, and those that fled thence, he flewe.

7 And when the citie was but vp, he departed as though he woulde come againe, and coote out all them of the citie of Joppe.

8 C But when he perceived the Jamnites were minded to doe in like maner unto the Jewes, which dwelt among them,

9 He came upon the Jamnites by night, a set fyre in the hauen with the naue, so that the light of the fyre was keene at Jerualem, upon a two hundreth and fourtie furlonges.

10 Now when they were gone from thence nine furlonges, in their journey toward Timotheus, about five thoulande men of foote and five hundred thorsemen of the Arabians set upon him.

11 So the battel was charpe, but it pizepered with Judas through the helpe of GOD: the a Nomades of Arabia, being ouercome, befought Judas to make peace with them, and promised to give him certaine"cattell, and to helpe him in other things.

"or, battell

loth.6,20.

12 And Judas thinking that they shoulde in deede or profitable concerning many things, graunted them peace: whereupon they stooke hands, and so they departed to their tentes.

13 C Judas also affaulted a citie called Caspis, which was strong by reason of a bridge, a fended round about with walles, and had divers kindes of people dwelling therein.

14 So they that were within it, put such trust in the strength of the walles, a in force of vitales, that they were the slacker in their doinges, reuiling them that were with Judas, and reprovaching them: pea, they blasphemed a spake luch words as were not lawfull.

15 But Maccabeus souldiers, calling upon the great Prince of the worlde, which without a nap instruments, oz engins of warre, did"cast downe the walles of Jericho, in the tune of Jefus) gane a flicre affault against y walles,

16 And tooke the citie by the will of GOD, and made an exceeding great slaughte, in so much that a lake of two furlonges broade, which lay thereby, seemed to flowe with blond.

17 C Then departed thep from thence, seuen hundred and fiftie furlonges, and came to

"Characa vnto the Jewes, that are called Tubieni."

18 But they founde not Timotheus there: for he was departed from thence, and had done nothing, and had left a garico in a very strong holde.

19 But Dolithus, and Solipater, which were captainez with Maccabeus, went forth, and flewe those that Timotheus had left in the foztreffe, more then ten thousand men,

20 And Maccabeus prepared, and ranged his armie by bandes, and went courageously against Timotheus, which had with him an hundred and twentie thoulande men of foote, and two thoulande and five hundred thorsemen.

21 When Timotheus had knowledge of Judas coming, he sent the woms, and children, and the other baggage afore vnto a foztreffe called Carion (for it was hard to believe, and becaufe to come vnto because of the straites on all sides.)

22 But when Judas first band came in light, the enemies were limitte with feare, a trembling was among them through the pizefence of him that feeth all things, in so much y they fleeing one here, another there, were oft times hurt by their own people, and wounded with points of their owne words.

23 But Judas was very earneſt in purſuing, and flewe those wicked men: pca, he flew thirtie thouland men of them.

24 Timotheus also him selfe fell into the hands of Dolithus, a Solipater, who he befought with much craft to let him go with his life, because he had many of the Jewes parents and the bezethen of some of them, which, if they put him to death, should be despised.

25 So when he had affuited them with many words, and promised that he would reſore them wout hurt, they let him go for the health of their bezethen.

26 C Then went Maccabeus toward Carniò, and Atargation, and flewe flue and twentie thouland persons.

27 And after that he had chafed away and flaine them, Judas removed y holt toward Ephon a strong citie, wherein was Lilias and a great multitude of all nations, and the strong pong men kept the walles defending them mightily: there was albo great preparation of engins of warre, and darteg.

28 But when they had called vpon the Lorde, which with his power breaketh the strength of the enemies, they wanne the citie, and flewe flue and twentie thoulande of them that were within.

29 C From thence went they to" Septhopolis, which lieth five hundred furlongs from Jerualem."

30 But when the Jewes which dwelt there, feſtified, y the Septhopolitans dealt louingly with them, and intreated them kindly in the time of their aduerſitie,

31 Thep gane them thankes, deferring them to be friendly still vnto them, and so they came

32 And after the feast called Pentecost, they went forth against Goigias the gouvernour of Iudinea:

33 Who came out with three thousande men of
koote and foure hundreth horzemen.

34 And when they iopned together, a few of the
Jewes were slaine,

35 And Desitheus one of the Baccenozs, which
was on horsebacke and a mightie man, tooke
Goigias, and laide hold of his garment, and
dzewe him by sozce, because he would haue ta-
ken the Wicked man aline; but an horzeman of
Chzacia fel upon him, and smote of his shoul-
der, so that Goigias fled into "Marita.

36 And when they that were with Eserin, had

selfe to be their helper, a captaine of the field.

37 And the he began in his owne language, and
sang Psalmes with a lowde doyce, in so much
that straight wayes he made them that were
about Goigias, to take their flight.

38 So Judas gathered his hoſte, and came
into the citie of Odolla. And whé the ſeventh
day came, they clenſed them ſelues (as the cu-
ſtome was) and kept þ Sabbath in the ſame
place.

39 And upon the day following, as necellitie
required, Judas and his companie came to
tak vp the bodies of them that were slaine,
and to burie them with their kinsmen in their
fathers graues.

40 Now vnder the coates of euery one, that was
slaine, they founde iewels that had bene conſe-
crate to the idoles of the * Jamnites, which
thing is forbidden the Jewes by the Lawe.
Then euery man ſawe, that this was þ cauſe
whereof thep were slaine.

41 And so euery man gaue thanks unto þ Lord,
the righteous J udge, which had opened the
things that were hid.

42 And they gaue them ſelues to praper, and be-
fought him, that thep should not utterly be de-
kroyed for the faute committed. Belfdés that,
noble Judas exhouſted the people to keepe the
ſelues from ſinne, for so much as thep ſawe be-
fore their epes the things which came to palle
by the ſinne of these that were slaine,

43 And having made a gathering through the
companie, lent to Jeruſalem about two thou-
ſad diachnes of iluer, to offer a ſinne offering,
Doing very well, and honestly that he thought
of the reſurrection.

44 For if he had not hoped, that thep which were
ſlaine, shouſle rile againe, it had bene Superflu-
ous, and vaine, to a prape for the dead.

45 And therefore he perceiued, that there was
great fauour laid vp for thate that died godly.
(Jt was an holic and good thought.) So he
made a reconciliation for the dead that they
might be deliuered from ſinne.

1 The coming of Eupato into Judea, 4 The death of Antiochus, 10 Placenta going to fight against Eupato, 10 mouth his ſoulders into plas- 15 he killeth fourteene thouand men in prides of Antiochus. 11 Abus- does the beſtaper of the Jowes is taken.

2 A the hundreth, fourtie and nyne peere it
was told Judas, that Antiochus Eupato
was comming with a great power into
Judea,

3 And Lysias the keſwarde and ruler of his akaypes with him, hauing both in their armie an hundreth and ten thousand men of koote of the Grecians, and ſive thouſand horzemen, a two and twentie Elephants, and three hundreth chalets ſet with hookes.

4 Henclaus also iopned him ſelſe with them,
and with great Deceit encouraged Antiochus,
not for the ſafegarde of the countryp, but be-
cauſe he thought to haue bene made the go-
ernour.

5 But the King of Kings moued Antiochus
minde against this wicked man, and Lysias
informed the King that this man was þ cauſe
of all miſchicke, so that the King commanded
to bring him to Berea to put him onto death
as the maner was in that place.

6 Now there was in that place a towe of aſtie
cubites high,ful of asbes, and it had an inſtru-
ment that turned rounde, and on euery ſide it
rowled downe into the asbes.

7 And there whoſoever was condemned of ſa-
crilege, or of any other grievous crime, was
cast of all men to the death.

8 And so it came to palle that this wicked man
should die ſuch a death, and it was a molit iuſt
thing that Henclaus should want buriall,

9 Forz because he had committed many ſinnes
by the altar, whose fire and asbes were hol: he
him ſelſe also dyed in the asbes.

10 Nowe the King raged in his minde, and
came to the chewe him ſelſe moze cruel into the
Jewes then his father.

11 Which things when Judas perceiued, he
commanded the people to call upon the Loſd
night and day, that if euer he had holpe them,
he would now helpe them, when they should
be put from their Lawe, from their countryp
from the holite Temple:

12 And that he woulde not ſuffer the people,
which a little aſoje began to recouer, to be ſub-
dued vnto the blasphemous nations.

13 And he being apart with the Elders, tooke
counſell to goe footh, aſo the King brought
his hoſte into Iudua, and should take the citie,
and commit the matter to the helpe of the
Loſd.

14 So committing the charge to the Loſd of
the worlde, he exhouſted his ſouldiers to fight
manfully, euен vnto death for the Lawes, the
Temple, the citie, their countryp, and the com-
mon wealth, and camped by Modin.

worde, The victorie of God, he piked out the manliest pong men, and went by night into the kings campe, and fled of the hoste foure-teene thousand men, and the greatest elephant with all that fate vpon him.

16 Thus when they had brought a great feare, and trouble in the campe, and all things went prosperously with them, they departed.

17 This was done in the breake of the daye, because the protection of the Lord did helpe the.

18 And now when the King had taked the manines of the Jewes, he went about to take the holdes by policie,

19 And marched toward Beth-sura, which was a strong holde of the Jewes; but he was chaſed away, hurt and lost of his men.

20 For Judas had sent vnto them that were in it, such things as were necessarie.

21 But Rhodocus which was in þ Jewes holt, didloſed the secretes to the enemies: thereſo he was sought out, and when they had gotten him, they put him in prison.

22 After this did the King commute with them that were in Beth-sura, and tooke truce with the, departed, and iopned battel with Judas, who ouercame him.

23 But when he vnderstood, that Philippe (who he had left to be ouerfeer of his busines at Antiochia) did trecell againſ him, he was affonſhed, so that he yelded him ſelke to the Jewes, and made them an othe to do all things that were right, and was appealèd towarde them, and offered sacrifice and adorned the Templez and thewed great gentlenes to the place,

24 And embraced Haccabens, and made him captaine and gouernour from Ptolemais vnto the Gerreneans.

25 Neuertheleſe when he came to Ptolemais, the people of the citie were not content with this agreement: and because they were greeuen, they woulde that he should brieke the covenants.

26 The went Lylias vp into þ udgement ſteate, and excused the fact as well as he couldle, and perswaded them, a pacified them, a made them wel affectioned, a came again vnto Antiochia. This is the matter concerning þ kings iour nep, and his returne.

CHAP. XIII.

1 Demetrius moned by Alcimus Endreb Acanot to kill the Jewes. 2 Acanot maketh a compact with the Jewes. 3 Which he p[ro]bably through the motion of the King. 4 Acanot commandeth his [as]is to be rased, who hatheth him ſelke.

1 After three peers was Judas enſormed that Demetrius the ſonne of Seleucus was come vp with a great power and naue by the hauen of Tripolis,

2 When he had wonne the countrep, and claine Antiochus and his lieutenant Lylias.

3 Now Alcimus, which had bpn þ high Priest, and wilfully defiled him ſelke in the time that all things were confounded, ſeeing that by no meanes he couldle ſaue him ſelke, nor haue any more entrance to the holy altar,

4 He came to King Demetrius in þ hundreth, liktie one p[er]e, p[re]senteing vnto him a crowne of golde, and a palme, of the boughes, which were vſed solemnely in the Temple, and that

day he helde his tongue.

5 But whé he had gotten oppoſtunity, and occasion for his rage, Demetrius called him to counſell, and aſked him what deuises or counſels the Jewes leaneſt vnto.

6 To the which he anſWERED, þ Jewes that be called Alideans, whose captaine is Judas Haccabus, mainteine warrs, a make inſurrections, a wil not let the Realme be in peace.

7 Therefore I, being deſtined of my father's honour (I meane þ high Priesthooide) am now come hither,

8 Partly because I was well affectioned vnto þ kings affaites, a ſecondly because I sought þ profit of mine owne citizens: for at our people, therevove their rathnes, are not a little troubled.

9 Wherefore, O King, ſeeing thou knowest all these things, make p[ro]ſution for þ country, a our nation which is abuſed, according to thine own humanity, that is read to helpe almen.

10 For as long as Judas liueth, it is not p[ol]iſcible that the matter should be well.

11 When he had p[oke]e these words, other keleds also hauing cuill will at Judas, let Demetrius on fire.

12 Who immediately called for Acanot, the ruler of the Elephants, and made him captaine of their Judea,

13 And sent him fooſth, commanding him to lay Judas, a to scatter them that were with him, and to make Alcimus high Priest of the great Temple.

14 Then the heathen which fled out of Judea from Judas, came to Acanot by flocks, thinking the harme and calamities of the Jewes to be their welfare.

15 Now when þ Jewes heard of Acanot's coming, a the gathering together of the heathen, they sp[ir]inkled the ſelues with earth, a pray'd unto him which had appointed him ſelke a people for euere, and did alwayes defend his owne portion with euident tokens.

16 So at the commandement of the captaine, they remoued straight waies from thence, and came to the towne of Delfan,

17 Where Simo Judas brother had iopned batel with Acanot, a was somewhat astonished through the ſudden ſilence of the enemies.

18 Neuertheles Acanot hearing the manlines of them þ were v Judas, a the bold ſomacks that they had for their countrep, durst not p[ro]vide the matter with bloodſheding.

19 Wherefore he sent P[os]idonius, "Theodocius, and Matthias before, to make peace.

20 So when they had taken long aduſtament thereup, and the captaine thewed it vnto the multitude, they were agreed in one mind, and conſented to the covenants.

21 And they appointed a day when they should particularly come together: so when the daye was come, they ſet for euery man his krolic.

22 Neuertheleſe Judas commanded certaine men of armes to waite in convenient places, least there should suddenly arife any euill thereof the enemies; a so they comunced together of the thingses whereupon they had agreed.

they had broken their othes.

11 Thus he armed cuerp one of them, not with the assurance of shields and speares, but with wholome words and erhoztatiós, and shew-ed them a dizeame worthie to be beleued, and reioced them greatly.

12 And this was his vision. He thought that he sawe Onias (which had bene the high Dicell, a vertuous and a good man, teuerent in beha-uour, and of sober conversation, well spoken, and one that had bene exercised in all popntes of godlines from a chyld) holding vp his hâds toward heauen, and praying for y whole peo-ple of the Jowes.

13 After this there appeared vnto him ano-ther man which was aged, honourable, and of a wonderful dignitie, & excellencie aboue him.

14 And Onias spake, and said, This is a louer of the dzethzen, who prapeth much for the peo-ple, and for the holp citie, to wit, Jeremias the Dzophet of God.

15 He thought also that Jeremias helde out his right hand, and gave vnto Judas a word of golde; and as he gaue it, he spake thus,

16 Take this holyp word a gift fro God, where-
with thou shalt wound the adueraries.

17 And so being comforted by the words of Ju-das, which were very twcete and able to stirre them vp to valiantnes and to encourage the hearts of þong men, they determined to pitch no campe, but courageously to set vpon them, and manfully to allaire them, and to trie the matter hand to hand, because the citie and the Sanctuary and the Temple were in danger.

18 As for their wines, a children, and dzethzen and kinkfolkes, they set lelle by their danger: but their greatest and principal keare was for the holyp Temple.

19 Againe they that were in the citie, were care-
full for the armie that was abroade.

20 Now whiles they all waited for the tryall of the matter, and the enemies nowe mette with them, the hoſte was set in arape, & the beaſts were separated into conuenient places, & the hoſſemen were placed in the wings:

21 Accabeaus considering the comming of the multitude a the diuers preparations of wea-pons, a the fiercenes of the beaſts, helde vp his hands toward heauen, calling vpon the Loſd that doeth wonders, a that looked vpon them, knowing that the victopy commeth not by the weapons, but that he giueth p vicrozie to the that are worthy, as secmeth good vnto him.

22 Therefoe in his piaier he laid after this ma-
ner, D Loſde, * thou that diddeſt lende thine
Angell in the time of ſezias King of Judca,
who in þ hoſte of Sennacherib clewe an hun-
dreth, foureſcoze and ſlue thouande,

23 Send now also thy good Angel before vs, D Loſde of heauens, for a keare and dzead vnto them,

24 And let them be discomſited by the strength of thine arme, which come againſt thine holie people to blapheme. Thus with these words he made an ende.

25 The Acanor and thep that were with him,
drew nere to trumpets and houtings for to p.

26 But Judas and his companie praying and calling vpon G D, incountred with the e-nemies,

27 So that with their hands thep fought, but with their hearts thep prayed vnto God, and flewe no lelle then flue and thirtie thouande men: for through þ presence of God they were wonderously comforted.

28 Nowe when thep left of, and were turning againe with tope, thep understood that Aca-nor him ſelfe was ſlaine for all his armour.

29 The thep made a great hout a cric, pialling the Almightie in their owne language.

30 Thercoze Iudas, which was euer þ chiche de-kender of his citizens both in body and innde, and which bare euer good affection towards them of his nation, commanded to ſmite of Acanor's head, with his hand and shouldre, and to bring it to Jeruſalem.

31 And when he came there, he called all them of his nation, and let the Prieſts by the altar, and sent for them of the caſtel,

32 And hewed them wicked Acanor's head, and the hande of that blaphemour which he had holden vp againſt the holyp Temple of the Almightie with proude bragges.

33 He caused þ tongue alſo of wicked Acanor to be cut in little pieces, and to be caſte vnto the foules, and that the rewardes of his madnetie should be hanged vp before the Temple.

34 So euerp man praisd towarde the heauen the glorious Loſde, Laping, Bleſſed be he, that hath kept his place undefiled.

35 He hanged alſo Acanor's head vpon the hie caſtel, for an evident and plaine token vnto all of the helpe of God.

36 And so thep establiſhed all together by a common decree that they woulde in no case ſuffer this day without keeping it holyp:

37 And that the keaſt ſhoude be the thirteenth day of þwelfth moneth, which is called Adar in the ſpyrians language, þ day before Mar-dochens day.

38 Thus far as concerning Acanor's matters, a from that time the Hebrews had the citie in possession. And here wil I alſo make an end.

39 If I haue done well, and as the Storie require, it is þ thing that I deſired; but if I haue spoken ſlenderly and barcip, it is that I could,

40 for as it is hurtefull to drinke wine alone, and then againe water; and as wine tempered with water is pleasant & delighteth the taste, so the fetting out of the matter delighteth the eares of them that reade the Storie. And here shall be the ende,

The ende of Apocrypha.

the wide gate, and broad way that leadeth
to destruction: and many there bee which
go in thereat,

C The whole

14 Because the gate is straite, and the way
narrowe that leadeth vnto life, and fewe
there be that finde it.

15 C Beware of false prophets, which come
to you in sheepes clothing, but inwardely
d they are rauening wolues.

16 Be they knowe by their fruits.
* Doe men gather grapes of thornes ? Or
figs of thistlets?

Luk.6:43,44.

17 So euery good tree hangeth forth good
fruite, and a" corrupt tree bringeth forth eu-
ill fruite.

O,rotten.

18 A good tree can not bring forth euill fruit:
neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good
fruite.

19 * Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruite, is he wen downe, and cast into the fire.

Chap.3:16.

20 Therefore by their fruits ye shall knowe
them.

21 C Not euery one that sayeth vnto mee,
* Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdome
of heauen,* but he that doeth my Fathers
will which is in heauen.

22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord,
Lord, haue we not by thy Name prophi-
sied: and by thy Name call out Deus?
and by thy Name done manpe a great

24 Whosoever then heareth of mee these

him to a wife man, which hath builded his
house on a roche:

2 Pet.1:17,
Phil.6:3,
Luk.6:47.

25 And the raine fell, and the floods came,
and the windes bie we, and beat vpon that
house, and it fell not: for it was grounded
on a roche.

26 But whosoever heareth these my words,
and doeth them not, shall be likened vnto a
foolish man, which hath builded his house
vpon the land:

Mark.12:22
Luk.4:37.

27 And the raine fell, and the floods came,

I Now when he was come downe from the mountaine, great multitudes followed him.

Mark.1:40.
luk.4:12.

2 *And lo, there came a leper and worshiped him, saying, Master, if thou wilt, thou canst make me cleane.

3 And Jesus putting forth his hand, touched him, saying, I will, be thou cleane: and immediately his leprous was cleften.

4 Then Jesus faide unto him, See thou tel b no man, but go, and shew thy selfe unto the c Piest, and offer the gift that Myles eomanded, for d a witness to them.

5 C *When Jesus was entred into Capernaum, there came unto him a Centurion, beleeching him,

6 And faide, Master, my 'fernant lyeth sicke at home of the pallie, and is grievouslie pained.

7 And Jesus fayde unto him, I will come and heale him.

8 But the Centurion answereed, saying, Master, I am not worthie that thou shouldst come under my roofe: but spake the word alone, and my fernant shall be healed.

9 For I am a man also under the authority of another, and have bouldlours under me: a I lay to one, Go, and he goeth: and to another, Come, and hee conneth: and to my feruant, Do this, and he Doeth it.

10 When Jesus heard that, he marneiled, a faid to them that followed him, Verely, I lay unto you, I haue not founde so great faith, euen in Israel.

11 But I lay unto you, that many shall come from the Caft and Deft, and thal it downe with Abraham, and Jnaac, a Jacob in the kingdome of heauen.

12 And the children of the kingdome shall be cast out into utter darkenes: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

13 Then Jesus laid unto the Centurion, Go thy way, and as thou hast beleeued, so be it unto thee. And his feruant was healed the same hour.

14 C *And when Jesus came to Peters houfe, he saw his wues mother laid down, and lice of a feuer.

15 And he touched her hande, and the feuer left her: so thee arole, and ministrd unto them.

16 *When the euen was come, they brought unto him many that were poffessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word, and healed all that were lice,

17 That it might be fulfilled, which was spoken by *Ezekias the Prophet, saying, s Hee tooke our infirmities, and bare our licelesse.

18 And when Jesus saw great multitudes of people about him, he commanded them to go ouer the water.

a It was not like that tenples that is now, but was a kunde thereof which was uncurable.

b He would not be let, but he was known, but had his time and houre appointed.

c Our Sanis would not continue that which was ouer the Law, feing as per the cereinnes thereof, which abanclihed.

19 *Then came there a certaine Scribe, and said unto him, Master, h I will follow thee whither thou goest.

Luk.9:37.

20 But Jesus fapd unto him, The forefane holes, and the birds of the heauen haue nestles, but the Sonne of man hath not where to rest his head.

21 C *And another of his diſciplles ſaid unto him, Master, ſuffer me first to go, and k butie my father.

22 But Jesus ſaid unto him, Follow me, and let the dead be buried their dead.

23 C *And when hee was entred into the ſhip, his diſciplles followed him.

24. And beholde, there arole a great tempeſt in the ſea, so that the ſhip was couered with waves: but he was a sleepe.

25 Then his diſciplles came, and awoke him, saying, Master, laue vs: we perſilied.

26 And he ſaid unto them, Why are ye feareſt, full of little faith? Then he arole, and rebuked the winds and the ſea: a so there was a great calme.

27 And the men marneiled, saying, What man is this, that both the winds and the lea obey him!

28 C *And when he was come to the other side, into the countrie of the Sergezenes, there mette him two poffessed with devils, which came out of the graues derie fierce, so that no man might go by that way.

29 And beholde, they cryed out, saying, Jeſus the Sonne of God, what haue we to do with thee? Art thou come hither to tometbels m before the time?

30 Now there was afarre of kro the, a great heard of twine feeding.

31 And the devils beſought him, saying, If thou cast us out, n suffer vs to goe into the heard of twine.

32 And he faide unto them, Go, so they went out, and departed into the heard of twine: a beholde, the whole heard of twine was caured with violence kro a sleepe downe place into the o ſea, and died in the water.

33 Then the heard men ſled: and when they were come into the citie, they told al things, and what was become of them that were poffessed with the devils.

34 And beholde, all the citie came out, to meete Jesus : and when they ſawe him, p they beſought him to depart out of they coakles.

h He thought by this means to runp faſer with the wale: but Jeſus theweth him that he is farre wie ſro that he be ſonuer, for: so in ſead of worldp weth, there is but poverie in Chriſt.

will not he take it and lift it out?

12 How much more then is a man better then
a sheepe ? therefore, it is lawfull to doe well
on a Sabbath day.

13 Then faide he to the man, stretch forth
thine hande. And he stretched it forth, and
it was made whole as the other.

14. Then the Pharises went out, and consoli-
ded agaynt him, howe they might destroy
him.

15 But when Jesus knewe it, he departed
thence, and great multitudes followed him,
and he healed them all,

16 And charged them that they should not
make him knowne,

17 That it might be fulfilled, which was spo-
ken by Elias the Prophet, saying,

18 *Beholde my servant whom I haue cho-
sen, my beloved in whom my soule deliteth:
I will put my SPIRIT on him, and hee shall
shew a judgement to the Gentiles.

19 He shall not *crine, not crie, neither shall
any man heare his voice in the streets.

20 A *hustled reede shall he not breake, and
smoking flake shall he not quench, till hee
beyng forth judgement s vnto victorie.

21 And in his name shall the Gentiles trust.

22 C * Then was brought to him one, po-
ſelled with a deuil, both blind, and domme,
and he healed him, to that hee which was
blonde and domme, both spake and ſawe.

23 And all the people were aſized, and ſaid,
Is not this the ſonne of David?

24. But whè the Pharises heard it, they ſaid,
*This man called the deuils no otherwife
out, but through Beelzebub the Prince of
deuils.

25 But Jefus knewe their thoughts, and
said to them, Every kingdom deuied a-
gainst it ſelke, *halbe brought to nought:
and every citie or house, deuied agaynt it
ſelke, shall not stand.

26 So if Satan cast out Satan, he is deu-
ded against him ſelke: howe shall then his
kingdome endure?

27 Also if I through Beelzebub cast out de-
uils, by whom do pour children cast them
out? Therefore they *halbe your Indges.

28 But if I cast out deuils by the SPIRIT of
God, then is the kingdom of God come
vnto you.

29 Els howe can a man enter into a strong
mans home and poyle his goodes, except
he first binde the strong man, and then
poyle his house?

30 He that is not with me, is agaynst mee:
and he that gathereth not with me, scat-
tereth.

31 *Wherefore I flap vnto you, euerteie ſinne
and blasphemie *halbe forgiuen vnto men:
but the blasphemie against the holy Ghoſt
shall not be forgiven unto men.

32 And whooever *ſal heake a word against
the Sonne of man, it *halbe forgiven him:
but whooever *ſal heake agaynst the
holy Ghoſt, it *hall not be forgiven him,

neither in this worlde no: in the worlde to
come.

33 Either make the tree good, and his fruite
good: or els make the tree *euiu, and his
fruite euill: for the tree is knowne by the
fruite.

34 D generations of vipers, howe can you
speake good things, when ye are euill: for
of the * abundance of the heart the mouth
speaketh.

Or, broodes.

Luk.6:45.

35 A good man out of the good treasur of his
heart bringeth forth good things: and an
euill man out of an euill treasur, bringeth
forth euill things.

36 But I flap vnto you, that of every *idle
worde that men shall speake, they shall give
a count thereof at the day of judgement.

37 For by thy words thou shall be *unſi-
ſted, and by thy words thou *halt bee con-
demned.

38 C * Then anſwered certain of Scribes
and of the Pharises, saying, Master, * wee
would kee a ſigne of thee.

39 But he anſwered, and flap to them, In
euill and * adulterous generation keeketh a
ſigne, but no ſigne *hall bee given vnto it,
ſaue the ſigne of the Dioprophet Jonas.

40 * For as Jonas was three daies, a three
nights in the whales bellie: so shall the
Sonne of man be three * dayes and three
nights in the heart of the earth.

41 The men of Hainene shall e in judg-
ment with this generation, and condemne
it: for * they * repented at the paching of
Jonas: and behold, a greater then Jonas
is here.

42 * The Queen of the South *hall e in
judgement with this generation, and *hall
*condemne it: for * they came from the
most parte of the earth to heare the wife-
dome of Solomon: and beholde, a greater
then Solomon is here.

43 C * How when the vncleane spirit is gone
out of a man, he walketh throughout *dye
places, seeking rest, and findeth none.

44 Then he flap, I will returne vnto mine
houle, from whom I came: and when he
is come, he findeth it emptie, Swept and
garnithed.

45 C * Then he goeth, and taketh vnto him
ſeuen other *spirites worke then him ſelke,
and they enter in, and dwell there: * and
the ende of that man is woude then the
gimning. Euen so *hall it be with this *wi-
ked generation.

46 C * While he yet spake to the multitude,
behold, his mother, and his *biethen stood
without, deſtring to speake with him.

Sonne of Dauid: mp daughter is misera-

23 But he answered her not a woode. Then
came to him his disciples, and beought
him, sayding, s Send her away, for the cry-
eth after vs.

24 But he answered, and sayde, I am not
out, but vnto the* loth sheepe of the houe of
Israel.

25 Pet he camz, and wooshipped him, say-
ing, Lord, helpe me.

26 And he answered, and said, It is not good
to take the childiens bread, and to cast it to
h whelyes.

27 But he said, Trueth, Lord: yet in deede
the whelues eate of the crommes, which fal
crom their masters table.

28 Then Jefus anwered, and said vnto her,
D woman, great is thp' faith: be it to thee,
as thou delivest. And her daughter was
made whole at that houre.

29 C So Jefus *went away from thence,
and came neere vnto the sea of Galile, and
went vp into a mountaine and fate downe
there.

30 And great multitudes came vnto him,
hauing with them, halt, blinde, domne,
mapmed, and many other, and cast them
downe at Jefus keete, and he healed them,

31 In so much that the multitude wonded,
to see the domme heake, h mapmed whole,
the halt to go, and the blind to see: and they
glozified the God of Israel.

32 * Then Jefus called his disciples vnto
him, and sayd, J haue compassion on this
multitude, because they haue continued
with me alreadyt three dapes, and haueno-
thing to eate: and I will not let them de-
part faking, least they faint in the way.

33 And his disciples sayd vnto him, Why
hould you get so much bread in the wil-
dernesse, as houlde suffice so great a multi-
tude?

34 And Jefus sayd vnto them, How many
loaes haue ye? And they said, Seuen, and
a fewe little filhes.

35 Then he commandd the multitude to sit
downe on the grounde,

36 And tooke the seuen loaes, and the fi-
hes, and gaue thanks, and hake them, and
gaue to his disciples, and the disciples to the
multitude.

37 And they did all eate, and were sufficed:
and they tooke vp the fragmentes that re-
mained, seuen baskets full.

38 And they that had eaten, were foure
thousande men, beside women and little
children.

39 Then Jefus sent away the multitude, and
tooke shippe, and came into the partes of

And they *thought in them ſelues, saying,
It is because we haue brought no bread.

*Or, reasoned
with them-
ſelues.
A token of
Jonaſa but
n is to know
ning the thoughts.

7

But Jefus c knowing it, ſayd vnto them,
O ye of little faith, why thinke you thus in
your ſelues, because yee haue brought no
bread?

8

Do ye not yet perceyue, neither remem-
ber the kine loaes, when there were * ſiſte
thousande men, and howe many baskets
tooke ye bp?

Chap. 14, 17.

9

Neither the ſeuen loaes when there were
* foure thouſand men, and howe many baſ-
bets tooke ye bp?

Chap. 15, 34.

10

What perceyue ye not, that I faide not vi-
to you concerning breade, that ye houlde
beware of the leauen of the Pharises and
Sadduces?

Then understood they that hee had not
ſayd, that they should beware of the leauen
of bread, but of the c doctrine of the Phari-
ſes, and Sadduces.

13 C Now whé Jefus came into the coasts
of Ceſarea Philippi, he aſked his diſciples,
saying, Whom do men ſay that J, the Sonne
of man am?

g Be mea-
neur auant
that is in man
Joh. 1, 42.

14

And thep ſayd, Some ſay, John Baptift:
and some, Elias: and others, Jeremias, 02
one of the Prophets.

thou hait con-
fefled and ac-

He ſayde vnto them, But whome ſaye ye
that I am?

i The power
of Saran
which nan-
beth in craft

16

Then Simon Peter anſWERED, and ſayd,
*Thou art the Chriſt, the Sonne of the li-
ting God.

17

And Jefus anſWERED, and ſayde to him,
Blessed art thou, Simon, the Sonne of Jo-
nas: for s kely & blond hath not reveileſt it
unto thee, but my father which is in heauen.

k The pitar
chers of the
Sohol open
the gates of

Sod, which is
the right key:

And J ſaye also vnto thee, that thou art
* Peter, and upon h this rooke I will build
my Church: and the * gates of hell shall not
ouercome it.

19

k And J * will give vnto thee the keyes of

Loide, Hosanna, thou which art in the hieſt heauens.

10 * And when he was come into Jerusale, al) citie was moued, laying, who is this?

11 And the people layde, This is Jefus the Prophet of NaZaret in Galile.

12 And Jefus went into the Temple of God, and cast out all them that folde and bought in the Temple, and ouerthrew the tables of the money changers, & the seats of them that folde dones,

13 And faide to them, It is written, * Wine house shall be called the house of prayer; but * ye haue made it a denne of theeues.

14 Then the blinde, & the halt came to him in the Temple, and he healed them.

15 But when the * chieſe diues & Scribes ſaw the marueile, that hee did, and the children crying in the Temple, and laying, Hosanna the Sonne of Dauid, they diſained,

16 And ſayd unto him, Hearest thou what theſe lay ? And Jefus ſaid unto them, Hea: read yee neuer, * By the 1 mouth of babes anducklinges thou haſt * made perfide the prieſe?

17 C So he left them, and went out of the citie vnto Bethania, and lodged there.

18 And * in the morning as he returned into the citie, he was hungrie,

19 And seeing a figge tree in the way, hee came to it, & iound nothing thereon, but leanes onely, and ſayde to it, Neuer fruite growe on thee hencely: for wardes. And anon the figge tree withered.

20 And when his diſciples ſaw it, they marueiled, laying, Howe ſoon is the figge tree withered?

21 And Jefus anſwered and ſaid vnto them, * Uerely I ſay vnto you, if yee haue ſayth, and doute not, yee shall not onely doe that, which I haue done to the figge tree, but alio if yee ſay vnto this mountaine, 'Take thy ſelke away, and cast thy ſelke into the sea, it shall be done.

22 * And what ſoever ye ſhall alſke in prayer, if ye beſecue, ye ſhall receive it.

23 C * And when hee was come into the Temple, the chieſe Priests, and the Elders of the people came vnto him, as hee was teaching, & ſayd, By what au thoritie Doeſt thou theſe things ? and who gaue thee this au thoritie.

24 Then Jefus anſwered and ſayde vnto the, I alio wil alſke of you a certaine thing, which if ye tell me, I likewise will tell you by what au thoritie, & Doe theſe things.

25 The baptilime of John whence was it ? * from heauen, or of men ? Then thep reaſoned among them ſelues, laying, If we ſhall ſay, from heauen, he wil ſay vnto hs, Why did ye not then beſecue him?

26 And if we ſay, Of men, wee * keare the people; * for all hold John as a Prophet.

27 Then they anſwered Jefus, and ſayde, We cannot tel. And he ſaid vnto them, Hei-

ther tell J you by what au thoritie J doe these things.

28 C But what thinke ye ? A certaine man had two ſonnes, and came to the elder, and faide, Sonne, goe and worke to day in my vineyarde.

29 But he anſwered, and ſaid, I wil not: yet afterwaarde hee reſeited him ſelke, and went.

30 Then came he to the ſecond, and ſayd like-wife. And he anſwered, and ſaid, I wil, fir: yet he went not.

31 Whether of them twaine did the will of the father? They ſayd vnto him, The firſt. Jefus faide vnto them, Uerely I ſay vnto you, that the Publicanes and the Harlots shall goe before you into the kingdome of God.

32 So John came vnto you in the way of rightouſines, & yee beſeued him not: but the Publicanes, and the Harlots beſeued him, & ye, though ye ſaw it, were not moued with repentance afterward, that ye might beſecue him.

33 Heare another parable, There was a certaine houſholder, * which planted a vineyarde, and 1 hedged it rounde about, and * made a winepierſe therein, and built a towne, and let it out to hufbandmen, and went into a ſtrange countrey.

34 And when the time of the fruite die, there, he ſent his ſeruants to the hufband men to receive the fruits thereof.

35 And the hufbandmen tooke his ſeruants and beat one, and killed another, and stonéd another.

36 Againe hee ſent other ſeruants, mo then the firſt: and they did the like vnto them.

37 But last of all he ſent vnto them his owne ſonne, laying, They will reverence my ſonne.

38 But when the hufband men ſaw the ſonne, they laid among them ſelues, * This is the heire: come, let vs kill him, and let vs take his inheritance.

39 So they tooke him, and cast him out of the vineyarde, and flew him.

40 When therefore the Loide of the vineyarde come, what will he doe to those hufbandmen?

41 They ſaid vnto him, Hee will cruelly deſtroy those wicked men, and will let out his vyneyard vnto other hufband men, which shall deliver him the fruits in their leaſons.

42 Jefus ſayd vnto them, Read ye neuer in the ſcriptures, * The ſone which * buildeſers * refused, the ſame is made the * head of the corner ? This was the Lordes doing, and it is marueilous in our eyes.

43 Therefore ſay I vnto you, the kingdome of God shall bee taken from you, and shall be giuen to a nation, which shall bring towarde the fruits thereof.

44 * And whoſoever shall fall on this ſone, he shall be broken: but on whomevier it shall

fall. So farre it is not anjuſtable for them to reſent and be faucht, that they ſand in their owne concort, that the greatest diuerſers are, that more ſone come to reſentance. o God taught John the way of rightouſes, whole life was up: right and pere ſer. 16:5.

The *Jesus answered, and spake unto them again in parables, saying,

2 The kingdome of heauen is like unto a certain king which married his sonne,

a Chriftian repays them the Teures of their ingratuities & infinite miseries, in that they were notARE theGRACE of God, which was so plenteously afforded unto them.

3 And a sent forth his seruants, to call them that were bid to the wedding, but they would not come.

4 Againe he sent forth other seruants, saying, Tell them which are bidden, Behold, I haue prepared my Dinner: mine own & my fatlings are killed, and all things are readie: come unto the marriage.

5 But they made light of it, and went their wayes, one to his ferme, and another about his marchandise.

6 And the remnant tooke his seruants, and untreated them sharply, and flewe them.

7 But when the king heard it, hee was worth, and sent forth his warriers, and dekroyed those murdererers, a burnt vp their citie.

8 Then said he to his seruants, Truely the wedding is prepared: but they which were bidden, were not worthy.

9 Go ye therefore out into the high waies, and as many as ye finde, bid them to the marriage.

10 So those seruants went out into the hie wayes and gathered together al that euer they founde, both a good and bad : so the weddpyng was furnished worthy gheftes.

11 Then the King came in, to see the gheftes, and sawe there a man which had not on a wedding garment.

12 And he faide unto him, friend, how came thou in bither, & haft not on a wedding garment ? And he was speachelelle.

13 Then sayde the King to the seruants, Binde him hande and foote: take him away, and cast him into utter darkeneſe: * there shall bee weeping and gnashing of teeth.

14 *For many are called, but fewe chosen.

15 C *Then went the Pharisees and tooke counſell howe they might tangle him in talke.

16 And they sent unto him their disciples with the Herodians, saying, Master, weee knowe that thou art true, and teachest the way of God truely, neither carest for any man: for thou considerest not the person of men.

17 Tell us therefore, howe thinkeſt thou ? Is it lawfull to give tribute unto Cefar, or not?

18 But Jesus perceived their wickedneſse, and sayde, Nohyp tempt ye mee, ye hypocrites?

19 She we me the tribute money. And they brought him a peny.

20 And he faide unto them, Whose is this image and Superſcription?

21 They sayde unto him, Cefars. Then sayde hee unto them, * Give therefore to Cefar, the things which are Cefars, and give unto God, those things which are Gods.

22 And when they heard it, they maruiculed, and left him, and went their way.

23 C * The fame day the Sadduces came to him, which say that there is no returreection and aſked him,

24 Saying, Master, * Moles faide, If a man die, hauing no children, let his brother, I marrie his wife, and raiſe vp feed unto his brother.

25 Now there were with vs seuen diethzen, and the first married a wife, and deceaſed: and hauing no pſue, left his wife unto his mother.

26 Likewise all the ſeconde, and the thirde, unto the ſeuenth.

27 And last of all the woman died also.

28 Therefore in the ſeturreection, whole wife shall shee be of the ſeuen? for all had her.

29 Then Jesus answered, and said unto the, Be me are deceived, not knowing ? Scrip- tures, nor the power of God.

30 For in the ſeturreection they neither mar- try wuues, nor wuies are beſtowed in mar- triage, but are as the Angels of God in heauen.

31 And concerning the ſeturreection of the dead, haue ye not read what is spoken to you of God, saying,

32 * I am the God of Abraham, & the God of Jaact, and the God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the ly- ing.

33 And when the people heard it, they were aſtonied at his doctrine.

34 C * But when the Pharisees had heard, that he had put the Sadduces to ſilence, they assembled together.

35 And one of them, which was an erpounder of the Law, aſked him a questio, tempting him, and saying,

36 Master, which is the great commandment in the Law?

37 Jesus faide to him, * Thou shall loue the Lord thy God with all thine heart, with al thy ſoule, and with all thy minde.

38 This is the firſt and the great commandment.

39 And the ſeconde is like unto this, * Thou shall loue thy neighbour as thy selfe.

40 On these two commandenients haſeth the whole Lawe and the Prophets.

33 So likewise ye, whé ye see all these things, knowe that the kingdome of God is nere, euen at the dores.

34 Werely I say unto you, this generation shall not palle, till all these things bee done.

35 * Heauen and earth shall palle away: but my wordes shall not palle away.

36 But of that day and houre knoweth no man, no not the Angels of heauen, but my father onely.

37 But as the dayes of Aoe were, so like- wife shall the comming of the Sonne of man be.

38 * For as in the dayes before the flood, they did eate and drinke, marry, and giue in marriage, into the day that Aoe entred into the Arke,

39 And I knewe nothing, till the floode came, and tooke them all away: so shall also the comming of the Sonne of man be.

40 * Then two men shall be in the fieldes, the one shall be received, and the other shall be refuied.

41 Two women shall be grinding at the mill: the one shall be received, and the other shall be refuied.

42 * Make therefoiz: for ye know not what houre your master will come.

43 Of * this bee sure, that if the good man of the houre knewe at what watche the thicke would come, he would surel watch, and not suffer his houre to bee digged through.

46 Bleffed is that feruaint whom his master, when he commeth, shall kinde so doing.

Th. The, dome of heauen shall be like a virgins, which tooke

their lampes, and went to meete the bride-rome.

And five of them were wife, and five foolish.

The foolish tooke their lampes, but tooke none ople with them.

But the wife tooke ople in their besels with their lampes.

Now while the bridegrome taryped long, all slumbered and slept.

And at midnight there was a crie made, behold, the bridegrome commeth: goe out to meete him.

Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lampes.

8 And the foolish said to the wife, c Give vs of your ople, for our lampes are" out.

But the wife anwered, saping, We fere left there wil not be enough for vs and you: but d go ye rather to them that fell, and be ye for your felues.

10 And while they went to die, the bridegrome came : and thep that were readye, went in with him to the wedding, and the gate was shut.

11 Afterwardes came also the other virgins, saping, Lord, Lord, open to vs.

12 But he anwered, and said, Werely I says unto you, I know you not.

13 * Watch therefore: for ye knowe neither the day, nor the houre, when the Sonne of man will come.

14 * for the kingdome of heauen is as a man that going into a strange countrep, called his feruaints, and deliuered to them his goods.

15 And into one hee gaue five s talents, and to another two, and to another one, to every man after his owne habilitie, and straight way went from home.

16 Then he that had received the five talents, went and occupied with them, and 'gained other five talents.

17 Likewise also, he that received two, he also gained other two.

18 But hee that received that one, went and digged it in the earth, and hid his masters monep.

19 But after a long season, the master of those feruaints came, and reckened with them.

20 Then came he that had received five ta- lents, and brought other five talents, saping, Master, thou deliuered it into me five talents : behold, I have gained with them other five talents.

21 Then his master said unto him, It is well done good feruaint and faithful, Thou haſt bene faithfull in little. I will make thee rul- ler ouer much: b enter into thy master's tope.

22 Also he that had received two talents, came and laide, Master, thou deliuered it into me two talents: beholde, I have gat- ned two other talents with them.

a shippe should waite for him, because of the multitude, least they should thong him.

10 For hee had healed many, in so much that they prealed upon him, to touch him as many as had plagues.

11 And when the buncleane spirites saw him, they fell downe before him, and cried, saying, Thou art the Sonne of God.

12 And he sharply rebuked them, to the end they should not utter him.

Chap. 6,7,mat.10, 5,luk.9,1.

13 Then he went vp into a mountaine, and called vnto him who he would, and they came vnto him.

14 And he appointed twelue that they should be with him, and that he might sende them to preach,

15 And that they might haue power to heale sicknesses, and to cast out devils.

16 And the first was Simon, and he named Simon, Peter.

17 Then James the sonne of Zebedeus, and John, James brother ( and named them Boanerges, which is, the sonnes of thunder)

18 And Andewe, and Philip, and Battellewe, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James, the sonne of Alpheus, and "Thaddeus, and Simon the" Cananite,

19 And Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him, and they came home.

*Or, Lebeus, or Judas.*
*Or, zealous.*

20 And the multitude assembled againe, so that they coulde not so much as eate bread.

21 And when "his kinsfolkes heard of it, they went out to lap" holde on him : for they thought he had bene besides himselfe.

22 And the Scribes which came from Jerusalem, said, He hath Beelzebub, and through the prince of devils he casteth out devils.

23 But he called them vnto him, and said but to the in parables, Howe can Satan diue out Satan?

24 For if a kingdome be deuided agaynst it selfe, that kingdome can not stand.

25 Or if a house be deuided agaynst it selfe, that house can not continue.

26 So if Satan make inſurrection agaynst himselfe, and be deuided, he can not endure, but is at an ende.

27 So man can enter into a strong man's house, and take away his goodes, except he first bind that strong man, and then spoile his house.

2 By the parables of the free, and the multarbe come, Christ beutheth the state of the kingdome of God. 11 A speciall gift of God to know the inſteries of his kingdome. 37 He tiltheth the tempet of the se that obeyed him.

A And he began againe to teach vp the sea side, and there gathered vnto him a great multitude, so that he entred into a ship, and fated in the sea, and all the people was by the sea side on the land.

And he taught them many things in parables, saide vnto them in a his doctrine.

Hearken: Behold, there went out a lower to lowe.

And it came to palle as hee lowed, that some fell by the wayide, and the foules of the heauen came and deuoured it vp.

And some fell on stone ground, where it had not much earth, and bp and by lyzang vp, because it had not depth of earth.

But alſoone as ſunne was vp, it caught heat, and because it had not roote, it withered away.

And some fell among the thomes, and the thomes grewe vp and choked it, so that it gaue no fruite.

Some againe fell in good grounde, and did peeld fruit that lyzong vp, a grewe, and it brought forth, some thirtie folde, some lytie folde, and some an hundredth folde.

Then he layde vnto them, Hee that hath

b eares to heare, let him heare.

10 And when he was alone, they that were about him with the twelue, alked him of the parable.

11 And he laid vnto them, To you it is given to knowe the myſterie of the kingdome of God : but vnto them that are without, all things be done in parables,

12 *That they seeing, may see, and not difſcerne: and they hearing, may heare, and not verſtand, least at any time they should turne, and their ſinnes should be forgiuen them.

13 Againe he layde vnto them, Herceyue ye not this parable? howe then ſhoule ye understand all other parables?

14 The lower loweth the wode.

15 And these are they that receyue the feede by the wayes side, in whome the wode is lowen: but when they haue heard it, Sa-tan commeth immediately, and taketh awaye the wode that was lowen in their hearts.

16 And likewife they that receive the feede in stone ground, are they, which when they haue heard the wode, straight wayes receive it with gladnes.

der the table, and not to be put on a candle

22. *So: there is nothing hid, that shall not be opened: neither is there a lecrete, but that it shall come to light.

23. If any man have eares to heare, let him heare.

24. And he sayd unto them, Take heed what ye heare. * With s what measure ye meze, it shall be measured unto you: and unto you that heare, shall moze be given.

25. *For unto him that hath, shall it be given, and from him that hath not, shall be taken away, h even that he hath.

26. Also he sayd, So is the ¹kingdome of God, as if a man should keepe the ground,

27. And should sleepe, and rise vp night and day, and the feede should dying and growe vp, he not knowing how.

28. For the earth bringeth forth fruit of her selfe, first the blade, then the cares, after that, full come in the eares.

29. And al alone as the fruiteth that selfe, anon he putteth in the fickle, because the harvest is come.

30. *He saide moreover, Whereunto shall we ween the kingdom of God? or with what comparison shall we compare it?

31. It is like a graine of mustard feede, which when it is sowne in the earth, is the least of all feedes that be in the earth:

32. But after that it is sowen, it groweth vp, and is greatest of all herbs, and beareth great branches, so that the foules of heauen may build under the shadow of it.

33. And *with many such parables he ppea-
ched the word unto them, as they were a-
ble to heare it.

34. And without parables heake he nothing
unto them: but he erpounded all things to
his diuclpes aparte.

35. *Now the same day when even was come, he said unto them, Let us palle ouer unto the other side.

36. And they left the multitude, and tooke him as he was in the ship: and there were also with him other ships.

37. And there arose a great kome of winde,
and the waves dashed into the ship, so that
it was now full.

38. And he was in the skene m a sleepe on a
pillo m : and they awoke him, t said to him,
Matter, carest thou not that we perill?

39. And he rose vp, and rebuked the winde, and saide unto the sea, Peace, and be still. So the winde ceased, and it was a great calmie.

40. Then he said unto them, Why are you so
kearefull? " how is it that ye have no kayth?

41. And they keared exceedingly, and kayde
one to another, who is this, that both the
winde and the sea obey him?

J. Josephus called her naught Dalas, men, a daunce of Jolyph.
Herodias,

11 * And whosoever shall not receite you, not heare you, when ye depart thence, h*ake of the duke that is under your feete, for a witnesse vnto them. Uerely I say vnto you, It shall be easier for Sodom, or Gomorrah at the day of udgement, then for that citie.

12 And they went out, and preached, that men should amend their lives.

13 And they cast out many devuils: and they anointed many that were liche, with ople and healed them.

14 C* Then king Herode heard of him (so his name was spread abroade ) and sayde, John Baptist is risen againe fro the dead, and therefore great workes are wrought by him.

15 Other said, It is Elias: and some said, It is a Prophet, or as one k of the Prophets.

16 * So when Herode heard it, he sayde, It is John whom I beheaded: he is risen fro the dead.

17 Fo: Herode himselfe had sent forth, and had taken John, and bound him in prison for Herodias sake, which was his brother Philip's wife, because he had married her.

18 Fo: John sayde vnto Herode, * It is not m lawfull so: thee to haue thy brothers wife.

19 Therefore Herodias had a quarell against him, and would haue killed him, but shee could not:

20 Fo: Herode feared John, knowing that he was a just man, and an holy, and reuexen ded him, and when he heard him, hee did many things, and a heard him gladly.

21 But the time being convenient, when he rode on his birth day made a banket to his princes and captaines, and chiche estates of Galile:

22 And the daughter of the same Herodias came in and daunce, and pleated Herode and them that fate at table together, the King saide vnto the maide. Ake of me what thou wilt, and I will give it thee.

23 And he were vnto her, what heuereth thou shall ake of me, I wil give it thee, euen vnto the halle of my kingdome.

24 * So he went forth, and said to her ino ther, what shall J ake? And she said, John Baptists head.

25 Then he came in straight way with halle vnto the King, and afted, saying, I woulde that thou shouldst give me euen nowe in a charger the head of John Baptist.

26 Then the King was herie soie : yet for his othes sake, and for their fakes which fate at table with him, he woulde not re fute her.

27 And immediately the King sent the hang man, and gaue charge that his head should be brought. So he went and beheaded him in the prison,

28 And brought his head in a charger, and gaue it to the maide, and the maide gaue it to her mother.

29 And when his disciples heard it, they came and tooke vp his bodie, and put it in *Or, cakeles, a tombe.

30 C* And the Apostles gathered them selues together to Jefus, and I tolde him al things, both what they had done, and what they had taught.

31 And he sayde vnto them, Come ye aparte into the wildernes, and rest a while : for there were many commers and goers, that they had not leaure to eat.

32 * So they went by slip out of the way into a desert place.

33 But the people sawe them when they de parted, and many knew him, a ran afoote thither out of all cities, and came thither be fore them, and assembled vnto him.

34 * Then Jefus went out, and saw a great multitude, and had compassion on them, he cause they were like theepe which had no shepheard: * and hee began to teach them many things.

35 * And when the dave was nowe farre spent, his disciples came vnto him, sayding, This is a desert place, and nowe the day is farre pasted.

36 Let them depart, that they may go into the villages and townes about, a bpe their bread: for they have nothing to eat.

37 But he answered, and faide vnto them, Gine ye them to eat. And thep faide vnto him, Shal we go a bpe a two hundie peny worth of bread, and giue them to eat?

38 * Then he sayde vnto them, Howe manie loaves haue ye? go a looke. And when thep knew it, they faid, a five, and two killes.

39 So he commaunded them, to make them al fit downe by " companies vp the greene graffe.

40 Then they late downe by "rowes, by hundredhs, and by fities.

41 And he tooke the five loaves, and the two killes, and loked vp to heauen, and gaue thankes, and brake the loaves, and gaue them to his disciples to let before them, and the two killes hee deuided among them all.

42 So they did all eate, and were fatified.

43 And thep tooke vp twelve baskets full of the fragments, and of the killes.

44 And they that had eaten, were about five thousand men.

45 C And straight way he caused his diſci ples to go into the ship, and to go before vnto the other side vnto Bethlaida, while hee sent away the people.

46 Then assoone as he had sent them away, he departed into a mountaine to pray.

47 * And when euen was come, the shippe was in the mids of the sea, and he alone on the land.

Mat.14:23, John.

*3:5*

48 And hee sawe them troubled in rowing, (so: the winde was contrarie vnto them) and about the fourth * watch of the night, he came vnto them, walking vpon the sea, and would haue passed by them.

The Apoſtles tender an order of their lineage, which is to declare them diuine & divinice.

* C. Churth beaſt forth with the infiuence of his errants, and bygingly them to quereſes, that he may intruct them, and make them strong against the trauell.

49 And when they sawe him walking upon the sea, they suppoſed it had bene a spiritre, and cried out.

50 For they all sawe him, and were soe aſtrayed: but anon he talked with them, and layd unto them, Be of good comfort: it is J, be not aſtrayd.

51 Then he went vp into them into the hip, and the winde ceaſed, and they were soe aſmaſed in them ſelues beyond meaſure, and marueiled.

52 For they had not considered the matter of the loaues, because their heartes were hardened.

Mat. 14-14.

53 C And they came ouer, and went into the land of Gennesaret, and arrived.

54 So when they were come out of the hip, straight way they know him,

55 And ranne about throughout all that region round about, and began to carie hither and thither in beddes all that were lice, where they heard that he was.

56 And whyther so ever he entred into townes, or cities, or villages, they laid theye lice in the streetes, and played him that they might touch at the leaſt the edge of his gariment. And as many as touched him, were made whole.

* Or, markets.
a Not for any such verrie that was in his gariment, but for the conſence which they had in him.

2 The diſciples eate with unloaſen handles.

3 The commandment of God is transſcribed by manne traditions.

4 1st. Unloaſen handles.

5 The woman of Syropheniffa.

Mat. 15, 2.

Then gathered unto him the Pharisees, & certaine of the Scribes which came from Jerusalem.

2 And when they saw ſome of his diſciples eate meat with common handles, (that is to lay unwashen) they complained.

3 (For the Pharises, and all the Jewes, except they wash their handles, not, eat not, holding the tradition of the Elders.

4 And when they come from the market, except they wash, they eate not: and many other things there be, which they haue taken upon them to obſerve, as the washing of cuppes, and pottes, and of broken beſels, and of tables.)

5 Then asked him the Pharises & Scribes, Why walke not the diſciples according to the tradition of the Elders, but eate meat with unwashen handles?

* Or, little.

a The Pharaoh woude not eate with unwashen hands, because then thought that the common handling of things deſtind them, that they made holines and religion to depend in hands was things.

b In contemnion, abating to wash bell.
c Little pott, somewhat more in quantity than a wine pint.
d Or, breade.

Isa. 129, 13.

6 Then he anſwered and layd onto them, Surely * Eſat hath prophesied wel of you, hoppelites, as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lippes, but their heart is farre away from me.

7 But they wortlip me in baine, teaching for doCTRines the commandementes of men.

8 For ye lay the commandement of God apart, and obſerve the tradition of men, as the washing of pottes and of cuppes, and many other ſuch like things ye do.

c Who didereth teacheth any doctrine but God's word, is a false wort; shipper, and a ſeducer of the people, ſerme his doctrine neuer to pious habile to the judgment of man.

9 And he layde onto them, well, ye reiect the commandement of God, that ye may obſerve your owne tradition.

Exo. 20, 12, deut.

5, 16-epheſ. 6.

10 For Holes layd, Honour the father, and

thy mother: and, * PhofoEUeUer shall curſe father or mother, let him die the death.

Exo. 21, 17.
Leuit. 20, 2.
Proph. 20, 2.

11 But ye lay, if a man lay to father or mother, Cozban, that is, By the gyſte that is offered by me, thou maſſeſ haue pioſite, he shall be free.

12 So ye ſuffer him no more to do any thing for his father, or his mother,

13 Making the word of God of none authority, by your tradition which ye haue ordered: and ye do many ſuch like things.

14 * Then he called the whole multitude into him, and said into them, Hearken you all into me, and understand.

Mat. 10, 10.

15 There is nothing without a man, that can deſile him, when it entreth into him; but the things which proceede out of him, are the things which deſile the man.

16 If anye haue eares to heare, let him heare.

There is nothing without authority, which can entitle a man, that can deſile him: meaning of authority, which is called authority, is called authority, which is called authority, is called authority.

17 And when hee came into an house away from the people, his diſciples asked him concerning the parable.

18 And he ſaide into them, What? are ye without understanding alſo? Do ye not knowe that whatſoever thing from without entreth into a man, cannot deſile him.

19 Because it entreth not into his heart, but into the bellie, goeth out into the draught which is the purging of all meates?

20 Then he ſaide, That which comuneth out of man, that deſileth man.

21 * For from within, euen out of the heart of men, proceede euill thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murthers,

Gen. 6, 5. & 8, 11.

22 Theſtes, couetouſnes, wickednes, deceit, vncleannes, a wicked eye, backebyting, pride, ſooliſhnes.

* Or, wantonness.
* Or, vices.

23 All theſe euill thinges come from within, and deſile a man.

24 C And from thence he roſe, and went into the holders of Tyrus and Sidon, and entred into an house, and woude that no man should haue knowne: but he could not be hied.

Mat. 11, 1.

25 For a certaine woman, whose little daugh-ter had an vncleane spirit, heard of him, and came, and fell at his feete.

26 (And the woman was a Grieke, a Syro-pheniffian by nation) and ſhe beſought him that he would caſt out the deuill out of her daughter.

27 But Jefus layde into her, Let the children kiſſe be fedde: for it is not good to take childrens bread, to caſt it into whelpes.

28 Then he anſWERED, and layde into him, Trueth, Lord: yet in deed the whelpeſ eat under the table of the childrens crommies.

29 Then he layd into her, For this laying go the waye: the deuill is gone out of the daughter.

30 And when hee was come home to her house, shee founde the deuill departed, and her daughter lying on the bed.

31 And hee departed againe from the coasles of Tyrus and Sidon, and came into

Meaing the Jewes, ra whome the children were made, and then made. For the Jewes tooke transgressions no better than the dogs, and therefore Christ preſen'teth according to their equallities. Shee adde but the pove crones, and not the childrens rab, under the breath of her father and mother.

37 Whosoever shall receive one of such little children in my Name, receueth me; and whosoever receieth me, receieth not me, but him that sent me.

38 C *Then John anſwered him, laying, Master, we lawe one casting out devils by thy Name, which followeth not vs, and we forbade him, because he followeth vs not.

39 *But Jefus ſaid, forbid him not; for there is no man that can do a 'miracle by my Name, that can lightly speake euill of me.

40 For whosoever is not agaynst vs, is on our part.

41 *And whosoever shall give you a cup of water to drink for my Name sake, because ye belong to Chrift, bereip I lay Unto you, he shall not lose his reward.

42 *And whosoever shall offende one of these little ones, that beleeue in me, it were better for him rather, that a millstone were hanged about his necke, and that he were cast into the sea.

43 *Wherefore if thine hande cauſe thee to offend, cut it of: it is better for thee to enter into life, maimed, then hauing two hands, to go into hell, into the fire that neuer halbe quenched,

44 *Where their worme dyeth not, and the fire neuer goeth out.

ted Unto him againe, and as he was wont, he taught them againe.

Then the Pharises came and asked him, if it were lawfull for a man to put away his wife, and tempted him.

And he anſwered, and ſayde Unto them, What did * Holes commaunde you?

And they ſayd, Holes ſuffered to write a bill of diuorcement, and to put her away.

Then Jefus anſwered and ſaid Unto the, for the hardnſe of your heart he wrote this precept Unto you.

But at the beginning of the creation, * God made them male and female.

* For this cauſe that man leaueth his father and mother, and cleaue Unto his wife.

And they twaine (halbe one 'ſelf) : so that they are no more twaine, but one kleyſ.

* Therefore, what God hath coupled together, let not man separate.

And in the house his diſciples asked him againe of that matter.

11 And he ſaid Unto them, * Whosoever shall put away his wife and marie another, hee committeth adulterie against her.

12 And if a woman put away her husband, and be married to another, thee committeth adulterie.

13 C * Then they brought little children to him, that he should touch them: and his diſciples rebuked those that brought them.

14 But when Jefus lawe it, he was displeased, and ſayd to them, Suffer the little children to come Unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdome of God.

15 Wereelp I ſap Unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdome of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein.

16 And he tooke them by in his armes, and put his hands upon them, and *blessed them.

17 And who he was gone out on the way, there came one * running, and kneeled to him, a ſaid him, Good Master, what shall I do, that I may posſſe eſternall life?

18 Jefus ſaide to him, Noy þe callest thou me good? there is none * good but one, euen God.

19 Thou knowest the commaundementes, *Thou halt not commit adulterie. Thou halt not kill. Thou halt not steal. Thou halt not beare false witness. Thou halt hurt no man, Honour thy father & mother.

20 Then he anſwered, and ſaid to him, Master, all theſe things I have obſerved from my youth.

21 And Jefus behelde him, and ſloved him. And ſayde Unto him, Due thing is lacking Unto thee, Goe and ſell all that thou hafst and give to the poor, and thou hafst haue treaſure in heauen, and come, folowe me, and take vp the crosſe.

24 And his diſciples were aſtonied at his words. But Jefus anſwered againe, and ſayd Unto them, Children, howe hard is it for them that trust in riches, to enter into the kingdome of God!

25 It is easier for a" camel to go through the eye of a needle, then for a" riche man to enter into the kingdome of God.

26 And they were much moſe aſtonied, ſaying with them ſelues, who then can be ſaued?

27 But Jefus looked upon them, and ſayd, With me it is imposſible, but not with God: for with God all things are poſſible.

28 C* Then Peter began to ſay unto him, Lo, we haue forſaken al, and haue followed thee.

29 Jefus anſwered, and ſayd, Uereely ſay Unto you, there is no man that hath forſaken houſe, or diſtethen, or ſisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or landes for my ſake and the Gospels.

39 And they ſayd vnto him, We can. But Jefus ſaid vnto them, I chal drinke in deede of the cup that I chal drinke of, and be baptiſed with the baptiſme where with I chal be baptiſed:

47 And when he heard that it was Jefus of Nazaret, he began to cry and to ſay, Jefus the Sonne of David, haue mercie on me.

48 And manye rebuked him, because he chould holde his peace : but hee 9 crved much more, O Sonne of David, haue mercie on me.

49 Then Jefus kroode still, and commanded him to be called: and they called the blinde, ſaying vnto him, Be of good comfort: arife, he calleth thee.

50 So he the we away his cloke, and rose, and came to Jefus.

51 And Jefus anſwered, and ſaid vnto him, What wilt thou that I doe vnto thee? And the blinde ſaid vnto him, Lo,de, that I may receue light.

52 Then Jefus ſayd vnto him, Go thy way: thy payth hath ſued thee. And by and by, he received his light, and followed Jefus in the way.

Scribes sought how they might take him by craft, and put him to death.

But they saide, Not in the feast day, least there be any tumult among the people.

* And when he was in Bethania in the house of Simon the leper, as he sat at table, there came a woman having a bore of oyntment of spikenard, very coshy, and she brake the bore, and powd it on his head.

Therefore some disdained among them selues, and said, To what end is this wake of oyntment?

For it might haue bene solde for more the threeth hundred pence, and bene giuen unto the pooze, and they grudged against her.

But Jesus said, Let her alone: why trouble ye her? she hath wrought a good work on me.

For ye haue the pooze with you always, and when ye will ye may doe them good, but me ye shall not haue always.

She hath done that she could: the came afore hande to anoint my bodye to the burying.

Tyerely I lay unto you, wherefoeuer this Gospell shall be preached throughout the whole world, this also that she hath done, shall be spoken of in remembrance of her.

Then Judas Iscariot, one of the twelue, went away unto the lie Dicks, to betray him unto them.

And when they heard it, they were glad, and promised that they would give him money: therefore he sought howe he might conveniently betray him.

Nowe the first day of unleaned bread, when they sacrificed the Passeover, his disciples saide unto him, Where will thou that we goe and prepare, that thou maist eate the Passeover?

Then he sent forth two of his disciples, and saide unto them, Go ye into the citie, there shall a man meete you bearing a picher of water: followe him.

And whitherfoeuer he goeth in, sape ye to the goodman of the house, The Master sayeth, Where is the lodging where I shall eate the Passeover with my disciples?

And he will shew you an upper chamber which is large, trimmed and prepared: there make it readie for vs.

So his disciples went forth, and came to the citie, and found as he had saide unto them, and made readie the Passeover.

And at euen he came with the twelue.

* And as they sat at table and did eate, Jesus saide, Uerely I lay unto you, that one of you shall betray mee, which eateth with me.

Then they beganne to be sowoyful and to say to him one by one, Is it I? And another, Is it I?

And he answered and said unto them, It is one of the twelue that *dippeth with mee

in the platter.

Truly the Sonne of man goeth his way, as it is written of him: but we be to that man, by whom the Sonne of man is betrayed: it had bene good for that man, if he had neuer bene borne.

* And as they did eate, Jesus tooke the bread, and when he had giuen thanks, he brake it and gaue it to the, and said, Take, eate, this is my bodie.

Also he tooke the cuppe, and when he had giuen thanks, gaue it to them: and they all dranke of it.

And he said unto them, This is my blood of the newe Testament, which is shed for me; many.

Tyerely I lay unto you, I will drinke no more of the fruite of the vine, but till that day, that I drinke it new in the kingdome of God.

And when they had sung a psalme, they went out to the mount of Olives.

Then Jesus said unto them, All yee shall be offered by me this night: for it is written, *I will smite the shepheard, and the sheep shall be scattered.

But after that I am gone, I will goe in to Galile before you.

And Peter said unto him, Although all men should be offended, yet would not I.

Then Jesus said unto him, Uerely I lay unto thee, this day, euen in this might, before the cocke crowe twice, thouhalt deny me thrice.

But he saide more earneſtly, If I should die with thee, I will not denie thee: like wife also said they all.

After they came into a place named Gethsemane: then he saide to his disciples, Sit ye here, till I haue played.

And hee tooke with him Peter, James, and John, and he began to be afraid, and in great heauines,

And saide unto them, My soule is very heavy, euen unto the death: tarp here and watch.

So he went forward a little, and fell down on the ground, and prayed, that it were possible, that houre myght palle from him.

And he saide, Abba, Father, all things are possible unto thee: take away this cup from me: neuerthelesse, not that I will, but that thou * will, be done.

Then he came and founde them sleeping, and saide to Peter, Simon, sleepeft thou: couldst not thou watch one houre?

Watch ye, and pray, that ye enter not into tentation: the spirit in deede is ready, but the flesh is weake.

And againe he went away, and prayed, and spake the same wordes.

And hee returned, and founde them a sleepe againe: for their eyes were heauie: neither knewe they what they should answere him.

Mat.24:30.

4.1 And he came the third time, and laid bito them, n. Sleepe henceforth, and take your rent: it is ynough: the houre is come: beholde, the Sonne of man is delivered into the hands of sinners.

4.2 Rike bp: let vs goe: lo, he that betrayeth me, is at hand.

4.3 * And immediately while hee yet spake, came Judas that was one of the twelue, & with him a great multitude with swordes and staves fro the hie Driestes, & Scribes, and Elders.

4.4 And he that betrayed him, had given them a token, laying, whomsoeuer I intal kiffe, he it is: take him and leade him away safely.

4.5 And assoone as he was come, he went straight way to him, and saide, p Master, Master, and killed him.

4.6 Then they laid their hands on him, and tooke him.

4.7 And one of them that stood by, diewe out a worde, and smote a feruaint of the hie Prieft, and cut of his eare.

4.8 And Jefus answere and laid into the, We bee come out as vnto a thiche with swordes and with staves to take me.

4.9 I was daily with you teaching in the Temple, and ye t tooke me not : but this is done that the Scriptures should ebee fulfiled.

50 Then they c all for tooke him, and fled.

51 And there followed him a certaine young man, clothed in linnen vpon his bare bodie, and the young men caught him.

52 But he left his linnen cloth, and fled from them naked.

53 * So they led Jefus away to y hie Driest, and to him came all the " hie Driestes, and the Elders, and the Scribes.

54. And Peter followed him x afarof, euen into the hall of the hie Prieft, and fate with the feruantes, and warmed him selfe at the fire.

55 And the * hie Driestes, and all the Counsell sought for witneses against Jefus, to put him to death, but found none.

56 For many bare falle witnes against him, but their witnes" agreed not together.

57 And then arose certaine, and bare falle witnes against him, laying,

58 We heard him tap, * I will destrop this Temple made with hands, and within thee dapes I will bulde another, made without hands.

59 But their witnes yet agreed not together.

60 Then the hie Prieft stoope bp. amongs them, and alked Jefus, laying, Anwererst thou nothing ? what is y matter that these beare witnes against thee?

61 But he helde his peace, and answere d nothing. Againe the hie Prieft alked him, and laid into him, Art thou Christ the Sonne of the Bleffed ?

62 And Jefus laid, I am he, *and ye hal see

the a Sonne of man fit at the right hand of the power of God, and come in the cloudes of heauen.

63 Then the hie Prieft rent his clothes and said, What haue wee any more needle of witnesses?

64 See haue heard the blasphemie: what thinke ye? And they all condemned him to be worthy of death.

65 And some beganne to spit at him, and to couer his face, and to beate him with fyles, and to sap into him, Prophecie.

And the b Sergeants smote him with their roddes.

66 * And as Peter was beneath in the hall, there came one of the maides of the hie Prieft.

67 And when he saw Peter warming him selfe, the looked on him, a faide, Thou wait also with Jefus of Nazaret.

68 But he denied it, laying, I knowe him not, neither wot I what thou kapeft. Then he went out into the" d poiche, and the cooke crewe.

69 * Then a maid saw him againe, and began to sap to them that stoope by, This is one of them.

70 But he denied it againe: and anon after, they that stoope by, laid againe to Peter, Surely thou art one of them: for thou art of Galile, and thp leaph is like.

71 And he beganne to curle, and sweare, faying, I knowe not this man of whome he ppeake.

60 But his mother answered, and said, Not so, but he shall be called John.

61 And they saide unto her, There is none of thy kinred, that is named with this name.

62 Then they made lignes to his father, how he would have him called.

63 So he asked for writing tables, & wrote, saying, His name is John, and they marrie'd all.

64 And his mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue loofed, and he spake and play'd God.

2 This first *taring was made when Cyprenius was governour of Syria.*

3 Therefore went all to be *tared, every man to his owne citie.*

4 And Joseph also went vp from Galile out of a citie called Nazaret, into Judea, unto the citie of *David, which is called Beth-lehem (because he was of the house of lineage of David),*

5 To be *tared with Marie that was given him to wife, which was with child.*

6 C And so it was, that while they were there, the dayes were accomplished that he should be deliuered.

7 And the brought forth her first begotten sonne, and wrapped him in swadeling clothes, and layed him in a cratche, because there was no rowme for them in the June.

8 And there were in the same countrey shepherdes, abiding in the fielde, a keeping watch by night because of their flocke.

9 And lo, the Angell of the Lord came upon the, and the glory of the Lo'de shone about them, and they were sole afraid.

10 Then the Angell said unto them, *Bee not afraid : for behold, I bring you tidings of great iop, that shall be to all the people:*

11 That is, that *unto you is borne this daye in the citie of David, a Sautour, which is Christ the Lord.*

12 And this *shall be a signe to you, *Bee shall finde the childe swadled, and layed in a cratch.

13 And straightway there was with the Angell a multitude of heauely Souldiers, prating God, and laying,

1 Jesus is led into the wilderness to be tempted. 11 He overcomes the druilt. 14 He goth into Galile. 16 Preacheth at Hasaret, and Capernaum. 22 The Jewes despite him. 38 He cometh into Peters house, and healeth his mother in law. 41 The beautez acknowledge Chrift. 43 He preacheth thongh the cities.

1 A Ad Jesus full of the holy Ghost returned from Jordan, and was ledde by the spirit into the wildernesses,

2 * And was there fourty dayes tempted of the devil, and in those dayes a he did eate nothing: but when they were ended, he afterwardde was hungrie.

3 Then the devill said unto him, If thou be the Sonne of God, commaunde this stone that it be made bread.

4 But Jesus anwered him, saying, It is written, * That man shall not live by bread oneyp, but by euery b word of God.

5 Then the devill tooke him bp into an high mountaine, and shewed him all the kings domes of the worlde, c in the twinkeling of an eye.

6 And the devill said unto him, All this power will I c give thee, and the glorie of those kingdoms: for that is delivered to mee: e to whome socuer I wil, I give it,

If thou therefore wilt wortship me, they
shall be all thine.

8 But Jefus anwered him, a said, b Hence from me, Satan: for it is written, *Thou shall wortship the Lord thy c God, and him alone thou halt serve.

9 Then he brought him to c Jerusalem, and let him on a pinacle of the Temple, and laid unto him, If thou be the One of God, cast the selfe downe from hence,

10 Fo; it is written, * That he will give his
Angels charge ouer thee to keepe thee;

11 And with their handes thep shall lift thee
bp, left at any time thou shouldest dash the
foote against a stone.

12 And Jesus anwered, and laid unto him,
It is said, * Thou shall not tempt the Lord
thy God.

13 And when the devill had ended all the
tentation, hee departed from him e for a
featon.

14 And Jesus returned by y power of the
Spirit into Galile: and there went a fame
of him throughout all the region rounde
about.

15 For he taught in their Synagogues, and
was honoured of all men.

16 * And he came to Nazaret where he had bene brought bp, and (as his custome was) went into the Synagogue on the Sabath day, and foode bp to reade.

17 And there was deliuered vnto him the
booke of the D'ophet Elinas: and when he
had opened the booke, hee found the place,
where it was written,

18 * The Spirit of the Lord is vpon me, be-

cause he hath e anointed me, that I should
preach the Eopell to the poore: hee hath
fent mee, that I shouldle heale the broken
hearted, that I should preach deliuerance
to the captives, and recovering of sight to
the blinde, that I should set at libertie the
that are huffed,

19 And that I should preach the b accepta-
bly yere of the Lord.

20 And hee closed the booke, and gaue it a
gaine to the minifter, and fated downe: and
the eyes of al that were in the Synagogue
were fastened on him.

21 Then he beganne to fay vnto them, This
dape is this Scripture fulfilled in your
eares.

22 And all bare him witnesses, and wondered
at the gracious wordes, which proceeded
out of his mouth, and said, Is not this Jo-
sephs londe?

23 Then he faide vnto them, He will surep
fay vnto me this prouerbe, D'ophets k, heale
thy selfe: whattoever we haue heard done
in Capernaum, doe it here like wise in thine
owne countrey.

24 And he faid, Wierep I fay vnto you, * Fo
D'ophet is accepted in his owne coun-
trey.

25 But I tel you of a trueth, many widows
were in Israel in the dayes of * Elias, whoe
heauen was but threee yeeres and fire mo-
neths, when great famine was through-
out all the land,

26 But vnto none of them was Elias sent,
faue into Sarepta, a citie of Sidon, vnto
a certaine widow.

27 Also many lepers were in Israel, in the
time of * Elinus the D'ophet: yet none of
them was made cleane, sawing Aaaman
the Spytan.

28 Then all that were in the Synagogue,
when they heard it, were filled w d wath,

29 And rote bp, and thust him out of the
citie, and led him vnto the edge of the bill,
whereon their citie was built, to cast him
downe headlong.

30 But hee palled o through the middes of
them, and went his way,

31 C * And came downe into Capernaum a
city of Galile, and there taught them on the
Sabath dayes.

32 * And they were anfioned at his doctrine
fo; his word was with e authority.

33 And in the Synagogue there was a man
which had a s pirit of an vncleane deuill
which cryed with a loud boyc, 

34. Saying, Oh, what haue we to doe with
thee, thou Jefus of Aazaret ? art y come to
destroy vs ? I knowe who thou art, euem
the Holy one of God.

35 And Jefus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him. Then the deuill throwing him in the middes of them, came out of him, and hurt him not.

36 So feare came on the all, and they spake
among them selues, saying, What thing is
this?

S.Luke.

Wildome iustified.

9 When Jesus heard these things, he mar-
rieled at him, and turned him, and layde to
the people that followed him, I laye vnto
you, I haue not founde to be great kayth, no
not in Israel.

10 And when they that were sent, turned
backe to the houle, they found the servant
that was lice, whole.

11 And it came to pase the day after, that he
went into a citie called forain, and many of
his disciples went with him, and a great
multitude.

12 Nowe when hee came nere to the gate of
the citie, beholde, there was a dead man ca-
ried out, who was the onely begotten sonne
of his mother, which was a widowe, and
much people of the citie was with her.

13 And when the Loïde saue her, hee had
compassion on her, and layde vnto her,
Weepe not.

14 And he went and touched the'coffin,(and
they that bare him, stooode still) and he laid,
s Pong man, I say vnto thee, Arise.

15 And hee that was dead, fate vp, and be-
gan to speake, and he delivered him to his
mother.

16 Then there came a feare on them all, and
they glorified God, laying, A great pio-
phet is rapted vp among vs, and God hath
hitherto his people.

17 And this tumour of him went forth tho-
toughout all Judæa, and throughout all the
region round about.

18 And the disciples of John shewed him
of all these things.

19 So John called vnto him two certaine
men of his disciples, and sent them to Je-
fus, laying, Art thou' he that should come,
or shall we waite for an other?

20 And when the men were come vnto him,
they layde, John Baptiste hath sent vs vn-
to thee, laying, Art thou hee that should
come, or shall we waite for an other?

21 And at that time hee cured many of their
lickenesses, and plagues, and of eull spirits,
and vnto many blind men he gaue sight.

22 And Jefus answere,d, and said vnto them,
Goe your wayes and shewe John, k what
things yee haue seene and heard : that the
blinde see, the halt goe, the Lepers are cle-
sed, the deafe heare, the dead rise againe, and
the 11) poore receue the Golpell.

23 And bleffed is he, that shall not be m'offen-
ded in me.

24 And wijen the messengers of John were
departed, he began to speake vnto the peo-
ple, of John, what he went yee out into the
wildernes to see ? A reede shaken with
the woude?

25 But what went ye out to see? A man clo-
thed in soft rayment? beholde, they which
are gorgeouslly apparelled, and line deli-
cately, are in kings courts.

26 But what wet ye forth to see? A pio-
phet? yea, I laye to you, and greater then a pio-
phet.

27 This is he of whom it is written, *Be-
hold, I send my a messenger before thy face,
*O' Angel, * Mat. 1:3,1.

28 Fo: I laye vnto you, there is no greater
Prophet then John, among them that are
"begotten of women: neuertheles, he that
is the least in the kingdome of God, is grea-
ter then he.

29 Then all the people that heard, and the
publicanes * iustified God, being baptized
with the p baptisme of John.

30 But the Pharises and the erpounders
of the Lawe despised the counsell of God
against them selues, and were not bapti-
zed of him.

31 * And the Loïde layde, Whereunto shall I
liken the men of this generation? Æ what
thing are they like unto?

32 They are like vnto children sitting in the
market place, and crying one to another,
and laying, We haue piped vnto you, and
ye haue not daunced: we have mourned to
you, and ye haue not wept.

33 Fo: John Baptiste came, neyther eating
bread; no drinking wine: and yee lay, Hee
hath the Devill.

34 The Sonne of man is come, and 'eateh
and drinketh: and ye lay, Beholde, a man
which is a glutton, and a Dinker of wine, a
friend of Publicanes and sinners.

35 But wurdome is * iustified of all her chil-
dren.

36 C * And one of the Pharises desired him
that he would eate with him: and he went
into the Pharises house, and sate downe at
table.

37 And behold, a woman in the citie, which
was a linner, when she knewe that Jefus
sate at table in the Pharises houle, shee
brought a bore of ointment.

38 * And she stooode at his feete behinde him
weeping, and begat to wash his feete with
teares, and did wipe them with the heares
of her head, and kiffed his keete, and anoin-
ted them with the ointment.

39 Now when the Phaue which bade him,
sawe it, he spake within himselfe, laying, If
this man were a Prophete, he would sure-
ly haue knowne who, and what maner of
woman this is which toucheth him: for she
is a sinner.

40 And Jefus answere,d, and said vnto him,
Simô, I haue some what to say vnto thee.
And he said, Master, lay on.

41 There was a certaine lender which had
two detters : the one ought kie hundreth
pence, and the other kiftie.

42 Wohê they had nothing to pap, he forgaue
them both, which of them therefoe, tel me,
will loue him molt?

43 Simon answere d, and layde, I suppose
that he, to whom he forgaue molt. And he
said vnto him, Thon hast truerly udged.

44 Then he turned to the woman, and sate
vnto Simon, Seest thou this woman? I
entred into thine houle, and thou gauest me

45 Thou gauest me no kisse: but he since the time I came in, hath not ceased to kisse my feete.

46 Wine head with ople thou didest not anoint: but he hath anoynted my feete with oypment.

47 Wherefore I lay unto thee, many sinnes are forgiven her: for shee loued much. To whom a little is forgiven, he doeth loue a little.

48 And he said unto her, Thy sinnes are sozitten thee.

49 And they that fate at table with him, began to lay within themselves, who is this that even sozient sinnes?

C H A P. VIII.

1 Christ with his knottes go from rounde to rounde, And prich, The woman in minde unto them of their goodes, 2 He chelteneth the pas table of the seru. 3 He telleth who his mother and his biother, 4 He telleth the raging of the lake, 5 He deluereth the poyffered, 6 The deuts enter into the heard of twine. 7 He healeth the fiche woman, and Fairroa Daughter.

A And it came to palle afterward, that he himselfe went through every citie and to wane, preaching, and publishing the kingdome of God, & the twelve were with him.

2 And certaine women, which were healed of euill piritites, and infferitures, as Marie which was called Magdalene, out of who went euen devils,

3 And Joanna the wife of Chuza Herodes steward, & Susanna, & many other which a minitred unto him of their substance.

4 A doow when much people were gathered together, and were come to him out of all cities, he spake by a parable,

5 A lower went out to lowe his feede, and as he sowed, some fell by the way side, and it was troden under feete, and the foules of heauen denoured his bp.

6 And some fell on the stones, and when it was spang bp, it withered away, because it lacked mopyttes.

7 And some fell among thomes, and the thomes spfang bp with it, and choked it.

8 And some fell on good grounde, and spfang bp, and bare fruite, an hundred fold. And as he layde these things, he cryed, Hie that hath eares to heare, let him heare.

9 Then his disciples aſked him, demauring, what parable that was?

10 And he laid, Unto you it is giuen to know the secretes of the kingdome of God, but to other in parables, that when they see, they should not kee, and when they heare, they should not understand.

11 * The parable is this, The feede is the word of God.

12 And they that are beside the way, are they that heare: after we haue commeth the deuiſ, & taketh away the word out of their hearts, left they should beleeeue, and be faued.

13 But they that are on the ſones, are they which when they haue heard, receue the word with tope: but they haue no rootes, which for a while beleeeue, but in the time of tentation go away.

14 And that which fell among thomes, are they which haue heard, and after their departure are choked with cares and with riches, and voluptuous living, and bring forth no fruit.

15 But that which fell in good grounde, are they which with an honest and good heart heare the word, and keepe it, and bring forth fruit with pacience.

16 C * As man when he lighteth a candle, couereth it under a beſell, neither putteth it under the table, but feteth it on a candeliſke, that they that enter in, may kee the light.

17 * For nothing is ſecret, that shall not be evident: neither any thing hid, that shall not be knowne, and come to light.

18 Take heede therefore howe yee heare: * for whoſoever hath, to him halbe giuen: and whoſoever hath not, from him shall be taken euen that, which it seemeth that he hath.

19 C * Then came to him his mother and his brethren, and could not come neere to him for the prieale.

20 And it was tolde him by certaine which layde, Thy mother and thy brethren stande without, and would kee thee.

21 But he anſWERED, and laid under them. Asy mother, and my brethren are these which heare the word of God, and do it.

22 C * And it came to palle on a certaine day, that hee went into a shippe with his diſtiples, and he laid under them, Let us go euer into the other lyde of the lake. And they launched forth.

23 And as they layde, hee fell a ſleepe, and there came downe a storme of winde on the lake, and they were filled with water, and were in iopardie.

24 Then they went to him, and awoke him, laying, Mafter, Mafter, we perſil. And he arose, and rebuked the windie, & the waves of water; and they ceased, & it was calmed.

25 Then he layde unto them, where is your faith? and they feared, and wouIded as among themſelues, laying, Who is this that commandeth both the windes and water, and they obey him?

26 C * So they layde unto the region of the Gadarenes, which is ouer against Galile.

27 And as he went out to land, there mette him a certaine man out of the citie, which had a deuill long time, and hee wane no clothes, neither abode in house, but in the graues.

28 And when he sawe Jefus, he cried out, and ſel downe before him, and with a loude boye ſaide, What haue I to do with thee, Jefus the Sonne of God, the moſt High? I beſeeche thee, k torment me not.

d That is, ac knowledgeth, & confuor to the word, and alſo reuerent. e When they returne home to their ab ſaures.

22 Then he turned to his diſciples, and ſayd, All things are given me of my Father: and no man knoweth who the Sonne is, but the Father: neither who the Father is, ſaue the Sonne, he to whom the Sonne will reueile him.

23 And he returned to his diſciples, a ſaide ſercretely, *Blessed are the eyes, which see that ye see.

24 Fo: I tell you that many Prophletes and Kings haue defired to see those things which ye see, and haue not ſene them: and to heare those things which ye heare, and haue not heard them.

25 C *Then beholde, a certaine expounder of the Lawe (kooſe bp, and tempted him, ſaying, Master, what shall I do, to inheire eternall life?*

26 And he ſayde unto him, What is written in the Lawe: how readest thou?

29 But he willing to *"inſtique himſelſe, ſayde unto Jefus, Who is then my neighbour?"*

30 And Jefus anſwered, and ſayde, A certaine man went downe from Jeruſalem to Jericho, and ſell among theeues, and they robbed him of his rapment, and wounded him, and departed, leauing him halſe dead.

31 And by chance there came downe a certaine Pielſt that fame way, and when he ſawe him, he paſſed by on the other lide.

32 And likewife alſo a Leuſe, when he was come nere to the place, went and looked on him, and paſſed by on the other lide.

33 Then a certaine *"Samaritane, as hee iourned"*, came neere vnto him, and when he ſawe him, he had compassion on him,

34 And went to him, and bounde vp his woudest, and powed in ople and wine, and put him on his owne beaſe, and brought him to an Inne, and made prieſion for him.

35 And on the mozowe when he departed, he tooke out x two pence, and gaue them to the haſſe, and ſayde vnto him, Take care of him, and whatoever thou pendeſt more, when I come againe, I will recompence thee.

36 Which now of theſe three, thinkeſt thou, was neighbour vnto him that fell among the theues?

A And so it was, that as he was paping in a certaine place, when hee ceaſed, one of his diſciples ſaid vnto him, Maſer, teach vs to pape, as John also taught his diſciples.

* And he ſaide vnto them, When ye pape, ſap, Our father which art in heauien, haſowed be thy Name: Thy kingdome come: Let thy will be done euen in earth, as it is in heauien:

1 Our dayly bread give vs a: for the day :

2 A diuerse man, mainſuch as he is, is diſtinent for this day.

4 And *for give vs our linnen: for euen wee for give euere man that is indetted to vs.* And leade vs not into temptation: but deuier vs from euill.

5 And *thereouer he ſapd vnto them, b which of you haſ haue a friend, and haſ go to him at midnigbt, and ſap vnto him, friend, lend me thee loaues?*

6 For a friend of mine is come out of the way to me, and I haue nothing to let heſe him:

7 And he within should anſwere, and ſay, Trouble me not: the doore is now shut, and my chilſien are with me in bed: I can not rile and give them to thee.

8 I ſap vnto you, though he would not arile and give him, because he is his friend, yet doultes because of his *"oppoſtuntie," hee woulde rile, and give him as many as he needed.*

9 *And I ſap vnto you, Aſſe, and it shall be giuen you: seeke, and ye ſhal kinder: knocke, and it ſhal be opened vnto you.*

22 I pape this ſiſtultitude he teacheth you, that we ought not to be diſoaked, if we obtrane not I continueth that which we demand.

10 Or, in paſſing by the way.

11 Or, impuency.

10 For euery one that aſſeth, receieth: and hee that seeketh, findeth: and to him that knocketh, it ſhal be opened.

11 *If a ſonne haſ aſſe breaſ of any of you that is a father, will he give him a ſone? Or if he aske a filhe, will he ſo a filhe give him a ſerpent?

12 Di if he aske an egge, will he give him a scorpion?

13 If he then which are euill, can give good gifts vnto your chilſien, howe much more shall your heauenely Father give *the holy Ghoſt*.

I *the meane time, there gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, so that they trode one another: and he began to flap into his Disciples first, Take heed to your Kelues of the leauen of the Pharises, which is hypocrifise.

*for there is nothing couered, that shall not be reveiled: neither hid, that shall not be knowne.

3 Wherefoe whatdoeuer ye haue spoken in darknes, it halbe heard in the light: a that which ye haue spoken in the eare, in secretes places, it halbe preached on the a houses.

* And I flap into you, my friends, be not afraid of them that kill the bodie, and after that are not able to do any more.

5 But I will forewarne you, whom ye shall feare: feare him which after he hath killed, hath power to cast into hell: pea, I flap into you, him feare.

6 Are not five sparowes bought for two farr things, and yet not one of them is forgiotten before God?

7 Pea, and all the heares of your head are nombred: feare not therefore: ye are more of value then many sparowes.

8 *Also I flap into you, Whosoever shall confesse mee before men, him shall the Sonne of man confesse also before the Angels of God.

9 But he that hal denie me before men, shall be denied before the Angels of God.

10 And whosoever shall speake a word against the Sonne of man, it halbe forgiuen him: but into him, that b shall blaspheme the holy Gosh, it shall not be forgiuen.

11 * And when they shall bring you into the Spnagogues, and into the rulers and princes, take no thought howe, or what thinge ye shall answere, or what yee shall speake.

12 For the holy Gosh shall teache you in the

same houre, what ye ought to say.

13 And one of the companie flapde into him, Master, bid my brother deuide the inheritance with me.

14 And he said into him. Man, who made me a d judge, or a deuide ouer you?

15 Wherefoe he said into them, Take heed, and beware of cometouines: e for though a man have abundance, yet his life standeth not in his riches.

16 And he put forth a parable into them, flaping, The ground of a certaine riche man brought forth fruits plenteously.

17 Therefore he thought with him selfe, flaping, what shall I doe, because I have no rume, where I may lay vp my fruits?

18 And he layde, This will I do, I will pull downe my barnes, and builde greater, and therein will I gather all my fruits, and my goodes.

19 And I will lay to my soule, Soule, *tho that hast much goodes layd vp for many peeres; live at eale, eate, drinke, & take thy pastime.

20 But God layde into him, O sole, this night will they fetch away the soule from thee: then whole thatl those things be which thou haft prouided?

21 So is he that gathereth riches to himselfe, and is not rich in God.

22 And he hake into his disciples, Therefor I flap into you, *Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eate: neither for your bodie, what ye shall put on.

23 The life is more then meate: and the bodie more then the rauinent.

24 S culder the rauens: for they neither so no: reape: which neither have sko: house no: barne, and yet God feedeth them: howe much more are ye better then fowles?

25 And which of you with taking thought, can adde to his stature one cubite?

26 If yee then bee not able to doe the least thing, why take yee thought for the remnant?

27 h Consider the lilies how they grow: they labour not, neither spin they: yet I flap into you, that Solomon himselfe in all his Royalty was not clothed like one of tigeke.

28 If then God so clothe the graffe which is to day in the field, and to mo: low is cast into the ouen, howe much more will he clothe you, O ye of little kaph?

29 Therefore alke not what ye shall eate, or what yee shall drinke, neither stande in doute.

30 For all such things the people of the world feeke for: and your father knoweth that ye haue neede of these things.

31 But rather feeke ye after the kingdome of God, and all these things that halbe unniucred into you.

32 Feare not, little klocke: for it is your Fathers pleasure, to give you the kingdome.

11 And beholde, there was a woman which had a spirit of infirmity eightene peers, and was bowed together, and could not lift vp her selfe in any wife.

12 When Jelus saw her, he called her to him, and layde to her, Woman, thou art loosed from thy diteale.

13 And he laid his hands on her, and imme-
diately he was made straight againe, and
gioifed God.

14 And the ruler of the Synagogue answere d with indignation because that Jelus had healed on the Sabbath day, a said vi to the people, There are litle dayes in which men ought to worke : in them therefore come and be healed, and not on the Sab- bath day.

15 Then answere d him the Lo'de, and layd,

The Epistle to the Hebrews.

THE ARGUMENT.

FOra much as diuers, both of the Greek writers and Latines wittneſſe, that the writer of this Epistle for iuſt cauſes would not haue his name known, it were curioſe of our part to labour much thereſin. For feeing the Spirit of God is the author thereof, it diminuſteth nothing the authoritie, although we know not what pen he wrote it. Whether it were Paul (as it is not like) or Luke, or Barnabas, or Clement, or ſome other, his chiefe purpose is to perſade vnto the Hebrewes (whereby he principally meaneth them that abode at le-ruſalem, & vnder them all the reſt of the Jews) that Chriſt ſelues was not only the redeemer, but alio that at his coming al ceremonies muſt haue an ende: for almoſt as his doctrine was the conſolution of all the propheſies, & therefore not only Mofes was inferior to him, but alio the Angels: for they all were ſeruants, and he the Lord, but to Lord, that he hath alio taken our ſleth, & is made our brother to, auſure vs of our ſaluation through him ſelues: for he is that eternal Paeſt, whereof all the Leuical Priſtles were but shadowes, and therefore at his coming they ought to caſe, & all faciſes for finne to be aboſtained: as he proueth from the 7.Chap. verſ. 11 vnto the 12.Chap. verſ. 8. Also he was that Prophet of whome all the Prophets in time past wittneſſed, as is declared from the 12.Chap. verſ. 8. to the 13.Chap. verſ. 10. Also of the fame Chap. yes, and is the King to whom all things are ſubject, as appears from that verſ. 15. to the beginning of the last Chap. Wherefore according to the examples of the old fatheres we must contantly believe in him, that being ſanctified by his ſuſtice, taught by his wifedome, and governed by his power, we may ſtedfastly, and couragiously perſuere euen to the end in hope of that joy, 7 is ſet before our eyes, occupying our ſelues in Christian exercisings that we may both be thankful to God, and dueriſt to our neighbour.

CHAP. 1.

He the weth the excellencie of Chriſt 4 Aboue the Angles, 7 And of their office.

T ſundrie times a in diuers maners a God spake in the olde time to our Fathers by the Prophets:

In these b laſt daies hee hath spoken vnto vs by his Sonne, whome hee hath made heere of all things, c by whom hee also made the worldes, * who beeing the brightnes of the gloſy, and the d ingraued ſonne of his perſon, and hearing vp all things by his mighty word, hath by him ſelſe e purged our ſinnes, and littleth at the right hand of the maſſie in the bigheſt places,

And is made to much more excellent then the f Angels in as much as hee hath obteined a more excellent name then they. for vnto which of the Angels laid hee at any time, *Thou art my Sonne, this day begate J thee ? and againe, J * will be his Father, and he shall be my ſonne.

And againe when he bringeth in his firet begotten ſonne into the wolde, he ſayth, * And let all the Angels of God woshippe him.

And of the Angels he faith, *Hee maketh the h Spirits his meſſengers, and his miſters a flame of fire.

But vnto the ſonne he ſayth, * O G O D, thy thone is for euer and euer: the i keeſter of thy kingdome is a ſcepter of righteouſe.

Thou haſt loued righteouſes and hated iniquitie. wherefore God, euen thy God, hath k anointed thee with the ople of gladnes aboue thy ſelues.

And, *Thou, Lord, in the beginning haſt eſtablished the earth, and the heauens are the works of thine handes.

11 They shall perſhe, but thou dorth re- maine: and they all shall ware old as doth a garment.

12 And as a deſture that thou folde them bp, and they halbe changed : but thou art the fame and thy peeres shall not falle.

13 Unto which alio of the Angels ſaid hee at any time, * Sit at my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footestooles ?

14 Are they not all minſtring spirits, ſent forth to minſter, for their ſakes which shall be heires of ſaluation?

CHAP. 11.

Hee reuerθeth but to be obedient vnto the name of God which Chriſt hath genned bu, 2 And not to be offende at the inſiruute and loue degree of Chriſt, 10 Because it was a neceffary that for our ſake he should take ſuch an humble state vpon him, that he might be like vne to his diſtien.

W Hereofere we ought diligently to give heed to the things which we haue heard, leaſt at any time we should let them slippe.

For if the b word spoken by Angels was ſtedfast, and every tranſgression, and diſobedience received a inſt recompence of rewarde,

Howe shall wee eſcape, if wee neglect to e great ſaluation, which at the first began to be preached by the Loide, and afterwaſe was confirmed vnto vs by d them that heard him,

* God bearing wittnes thereto, both with ſignes and wonders, and with diuers mi- racles, and giktes of the holyp Ghoſt, accor- ding to his owne will.

For hee hath not put in ſubiection vnto the Angels the e wolde to come, whereof we speake.

But * one in a certaine place wittneſſed, ſaying, * What is man, that thou shouldſeſt be mindeſull of him! or the ſonne of man that thou wouſeſt consider him !

Thou madest him a little inferiuor to the Angels: as thou crownede him with 5 gloſe and honour, and haſt ſet him aboue the works of thine handes.

* Thou haſt all things in ſubiection vnder his ſeete. And in that hee hath put

11 And we desire that every one of you ſhew
the fame Diligence, to the full allſurance of
hope vnto the ende,

12 That yee be not ſlouthfull, but followers
of ſthem, which through faith a patience,
inherite the promises.

13 For when God made the promises to Abra-
ham, because hee had no greater to ſwear
by hee, were by himselfe,

14 Saying, * Surely I will abundantly
bleſſe thee and multiplie thee marveilouſly.

15 And so after that he had taried patiently,
he enioyed the promises.

16 For men verelp weare by him that is
greater then them ſelues, and an other ſo
confirmation is among them an ende of all

17 So God willing more h abundantly to
ſhew vnto the heires of promises the ſtra-
bleneſe of his counſell, bounde him ſelſe by
an othe,

18 That by i two immutable things, where-
in it is impoſsible that God shouldle lie, wee

Gen. 14. 12.

1 F
or this Melchi-ledec * was King of
Salem, the Priest of the most high
God, who met Abraham, as hee retur-
ned from the ſlaughter of the Kinges, and
bleſſed him:

2 To whome also Abraham gaue the tithe
of all things: who first is by interpretation
King of righteouſnes: after that, he is also
King of Salem, that is, King of peace,

3 Without a father, without mother, with-
out kinred, and hath neither beginning of
his dapes, neither ende of life: but is like-
ned vnto the Sonne of God, and continu-
eth a Priest for euern.

4 Now consider howe great this man was,
unto whome euen the b Patriarke Abrahá
gave the tithe of the Spolies.

5 For they which are the children
of Leu, which receive the office of the
Priethood, hane a * c commaundement
to take, according to the Lawe, taphyes of
the people ( that is, of their children)
though they d came out of the lopnes of
Abraham.

6 But hee whose kinred is not counted a-
mong them, c received tithes of Abraham,
and bleſſed him that had the promises.

7 And without all contradiction the leſſe is
bleſſed of the greater.

2 He collected,
because that
Jehoas inca-
reth no mena-
tion of his pas-
tures of kin-
ſolkes, but as
he had heene
so abanourt the
ment of God into
the world, to
be a figure of
Chrift our es-
neeraling
Prieth, a Prieth
in taken out of
the world as
gaine, to Chriſt
as touching
his humanitie
had no father,
and cancers
ing his diu-
nitie, no mo-
ſteth.

b That is, the
chieſe of fas-
thers.
Nom. 18. 21.

c The Leutens
had comman-
dment to re-
cerve that,
= which Abra-
ham gaue freely to Melchi-ledec.

d Was begotten of Abrahæm.
e The Leutens
received tithes of their manhen, but Melchi-ledec of Abrahæm, the Parricks: there-
ſo the Priethode is more excellent then the Kenntical.

8 And here men that die, receive tythes ;
but there he receieth them, of whom he it
witnessed, that he f luctueth.

9 And to ſay as the thing is, Leu also
which receieth tithes, payed tythes in J-
braham.

10 For he was yet in the lopnes of his father Abraham, when Melchi-ledec met him.

11 If thereſoever perſection had bene by the
Priethood of the Leutens ( for under it
the Lawe was eſtablished to the people)
what needed it furthermoſe, that another
Priest should rile after the order of Melchi-
ledec, and not to be called after the order of
Aaron?

12 For if the Priethood bee changed, then
of neceſſitie must there bee a change of the
s Lawe.

13 For he of whom these things are ſpoken,
perteineth vnto another tribe, whereof no
man ſerved at the altar.

14 For it is euident, that our Loſe p[ro]ſong
out of Juda, concerning the which tribe
Moles ipake nothing, touching the Prieth-
hood.

15 And it is yet a more euident thing, because
that after the similitude of Melchi-ledec,
there is rilen vp another Priekſt,

16 Which is not made Priek after the Lawe
h of the carnall commaundement, but after
the power of the endles life.

17 For he testiſeth thus, *Thou art a Priek
for euern, after the order of Melchi-ledec.

18 For the commandement that went aſoſe,
is diſanulled, because i of the weakneſſe
thereof, and inſ profitableenes.

19 For the Lawe made nothing perſire, but
"the bringing in of a better hope made per-
ſire, whereby we drawe neere vnto God.

20 And foraſmuch as it is not without an
othe (for that are made Priekts without
an othe:

21 But this, hee is made with an othe by him
that layde vnto him, * The Loſe hath
ſtrowne, and will not repent, Thou art a
Priek for euern, after the order of Melchi-
ledec.

22 By so much is Jefus made a ſuretie of a
better "Teſtament.

23 And among them many were made
Priekſtes, because they were not ſuffered to
endure, by the reaſon of death.

24 But this man, because he endureth euern,
hath an k euerlaſing Priethood.

25 Wherefore, hee is able also i perfectly to
ſaue them that come vnto God by him,
ſeeing he euer liueth, to make intercession
for them.

26 For such an high Priek it became his to
hane, which is, holy, harmeleſſe, undefiled,
ſeparate from sinners, and made hie their
the heauens:

27 Which needed not daily as those high
Priekſtes to offer vp ſacrifice, * first for his
one ſinnes, and then for the peoples: for
that did hee m once, when hee offered up
him ſelſe.

Friendship of the world.

James.

Not to weare. Prayer.

1

From whence are warres and contentions among you ? are they not hence, even of your lustes, that a fight in your members?

2

He luff, and haue not : ye enuie, and haue indignation, and cannot obtepe : ye fight and warre, and get nothing, because yee alke not.

3

He alke, and receyue not because ye alke amille, that yee might conume it on your lustes.

4

He adulterers and b adulterelles, know ye not that the amitie of the worde is the enmitie of God ? * Whofoeuer therefoe wil be a friend of the worde, maketh himselfe the enemie of God.

5

Dove thinke that the Scripture sayth in baine, The c spirit that dwelleth in vs, lufeth after enuie.

6

But the Scripture offreth more grace, and therefore sayth, * God refueth the proude, and gineth grace to the humble.

7

* Submit your selues to God : refit the deuill, and he will flee from you.

8

Draw nere to God, and he wil draw nere to you. Clene your hands ye sinners, and purge your hearts, ye wauering minded.

9

Suffer afflictions, & forowd ye, & weepe : let your laughter be turned into mourning, and your top into heavines.

d The Sreeke and dignifieth that heas lines, which is loped with a certain channelles, as appeareth in the countenance. 1, Pet. 5, 6.

10

THE ARGVMENT.

THE ARGVMENT.

HE exhorteth the faithfull to denie themselves, and to con Reserve the worlde, that being deliuered from all carnall affections and inimilations, they may more speedily attyre to the heaenly kingdome of Christ, whereunto we are called by the grace of God reueiued to vs in his Sonne, and haue alreadie received it by faith, offesded it by hope, and are therein confirmed by holines of life. And to the intent this faith should not faint, seeing Christ contemned and reieft almost of the whole world; he declareth that this is nothing else but the accomplishing of the Scriptures which teftifie that he should be the stumbling stone to the repurpose and the sure foundation of falution to the faithfull therefore he exhorteth them courageously to go forward, confidering what they were, and to what dignitate God hath called them. After he entreateth particular points, teachingSUBJECTS, how to obey their Gouernours, and fentients their matters, & how married fohes ought to behave them fefelues. And because it is appointed for all that are godly, to suffer perfections, he teareth them what good ylue their affections shall have, and contrariwise what punishment God reuereth for the wicked. Last of all he teacheth how the minifters ought to behave themfelves forbidding them to vurpe authoritie over the Church: also that young men ought to be model, and apt to learn, and to fender with an exhortation.

C H A P. I.

a. He that feeth that through the abundant mercie of God we are elected and regaried to a linear hope. b. And howe faith must bee crered, and howe that falution in Christ ne newes, but a thing vnpossible of old. c. He that feeth them to a godly coniunction, vnafainth as they are now home anew by the word of God.

Eter an Apostle of Je-
fus Christ, to a the
strangers I dwell here
and there throughout
Pottus, Galatia, Cap-
padocia, Asia and Be-
thnia,

Elect according to the
bfocknowledge of God the Father vnto
sanctification of the spirit, through obedi-
ence a(h)linking of h blood of Jefus Christ:
Grace and peace be multiplied vnto you.

*Blessed be God even the Father of our
Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his
abundant mercy hath begotten vs againe
unto a d) induel hope by the refurrection of
Jesu Christ from the dead.

To an inheritance immortall and undefi-
led, and that fadeth not away, reuerued in
heauen for you,

nd which are kept by the power of God
through faith vnto saluation, which is pie-
pared to be shewed in the last time:

wherein ye reioyce, though nowe fo a
season (if neede s require) yee are in heau-
nes, through manifold tentations,

That the triall of your faith, being much
more precious then golde that perisheth
(though it bee tried with fire) might bee
founde vnto your pnyege, and honour and
glorie, at the appearing of Jefus Christ:

Whome ye haue not keene, and yet loue
him, in whome nowe, though yee fee him
not, yet do you beleeue, and reioyce with top
unspeakable and glorieous,

Receiving the end of your faith, even the
saluation of your Soules.

10 Of the which saluation the Prophets haue
inquired and searched, which prophesied of
the grace that should come vnto you,

11 Searching whoe at what time the Spirit
which teſtified before of Chriſt which was
in them, shouldle declare the ſufferings that
should come vnto Christ, and the glorie that
should follow.

12 Unto whom it was reueiled, not vnto
the ſelues, but vnto vs they should minister
 things which are nowe shewed vnto you

by the which *haue preached vnto you the
Gospel by h) hol) Choff set down to heaue,
the which things h) Angels deſite to behold.

13 Wherefore, girde vp the lopnes of your
minde: be sober, and trust perfectly on
the grace that is brought vnto you, by the re-
velation of Jefus Chriſt,

14 As obedient children, not fashioning
pour ſelues vnto the former m luffes of your
ignorance:

15 But as he which hath called you, is holy,
be to ye holy in *al manner of conversation,

16 Because it is written, *Be ye holy, for I am holy.

17 And if ye call him Father, which without
*respect of perſon undgeth according to eue-
tie mans worke, paffe the time of point
dwelling here in ſeare,

18 Knowing that ye were not redeemed with
corruptible things, as silver and golde, from
your baine conversation, receyued by the
traditions of the fathers,

19 *But with the precious blood of Chriſt, as
of a lambe vndebtilled, and without spot.

20 Which was *oodeynd before the found-
dation of the worlde, but was declared in
the last times for your fakes,

21 Which by his means do beleeue in God
that raped him from the dead, and gatle
him glorie, that your faith and hope might
be in God.

22 Seeing your Soules are purified in obey-
ing the rieſeth through the Spirit, to *loue
brotherly without kepuing, loue one ano-
ther with a pure heart ſeruendly,

23 Being borne anew, not of morall feede,
but of *immortal, by the word of God, who
luieth and endureth for euer.

24 For all *flesh is as graſſe, and all the glory
of man is as the flower of graſſe. The graſſe
withereth, and the flower faltereth away.

25 But the word of the Lorde endureth for
euer: * this is the word which is preached
among you.

As newe home babes delive a the "syn- cere milke of the wordc, that ye may growe thereby,

If so be that ye haue tasted how bountiful the Lord is.

To whom ye come as unto a living stone disallowed of men, but chosen of God and precious.

And ye as liely stones, be made a spirituall houle, and holy *Dielshood to offer up spirituall sacrifices acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.

Wherefore it is contepned in the Scrip- ture,* Behold, I put in b Sion a chiefe coz- ner stone, elect and precious: and he that be- leeueth therein, shall not be alhamed.

Unto you therefore which believe, it is precious : but unto them which be disobedient, the * stone which the * buylders disallowed, the same is made the heade of the corner,

And a *stone to stumble at, and a rocke of offence, euen to them which stumble at the word being disobedient, unto * which thing they were euen ordempned.

But ye are a chosen generation, a * topall *Dielshood, an holy nation, a "peculiar people, that ye shoulde we have forth the ver- tues of him that hath called you out of darknes into his marneplons light,

10 * Which in time past were not a people, yet are nowe the people of God : which in time past were not under mercie, but nowe haue obteped mercie.

11 Dearely beloved, I believech you, as stran- gers and pilgrims,* absteyne from fleshly lustes, which fight against the foule,

12 * And haue pour conversation honest a- mong the Gentiles, that they which speake euill of you as of euill doers, may by your * good works which they shall see, glozific God in the day of the visitation.

13 * Submit your selues unto all "maner orderance of man for the Loides sake, wher- ther it bee unto the King, as unto the supe- rior,

14 O vnto governours, as vnto them that are sent of him, for the punishment of euill doers, and for the playse of them that doe well.

15 For so is the will of God, that by well do- ing ye maye put to silence the ignorance of the foolish men,

16 As free, and not as having the libertie for a close of maliciousnes, but as the lektants of God.

17 Honour all men: *loue * brotherly fellow- ship: keare God: honour the King.

18 * Servants, bee subject to your masters with all keare, not only to the good and courteous, but also to the s forward.

19 * For this is thanke worthie, if a man for h confidence towarde God endure grieke suffering wrongfully.

20 For what praise is it, if when ye be buffe- ted for your faults, ye take it paciently; but

and if when ye do well, ye suffer wrong and take it paciently, this is acceptable to God.

21 For hereunto we are called: for Christ also suffered for vs, leauing us an enample that ye should follow his steppes.

22 * Who did no sinne, neither was there guile found in his mouth.

23 Who when he was reuiled, reuiled not a- gaine: when he suffered, he threatened not, but committed it to him that iudgeth righ- teously.

While they beholde your pure conuerlati- on, which is with keare.

17 For the time is come, that "iudgemèt muſt beginne at * the houſe of God. If it first be-gin at vs, what shall the end be of the which obey not the Goſwell of God?"

18 * And if the righteous ſcarcelly be * fauſed, where, shall the vngodlp and the sinner ap-pear?

19 Wherefore let them that suffer accon-ding to the will of God, commit their ſoules to him in wel doing, as vnto a faithful Cre-ato.

1 But * there were fallte prophetes also a-
mong the people, euen as there shall
be fallte teachers among you : which
pruily shall bring in damnable heresies, eu-
uen denying the Lorde, that hath bought
them, & bring upon them selues Swift dam-
nation.

2 And many shall followe their "damnable
wapes, by whom the way of trueth halve
euill spoken of,

3 And through couetousneſſe shall they
with fapned wordes make a marchandise
of you, whose indugement long agone is
not farre of, and their damnation sleepeth
not.

4 For if God spared not the * Angels, that
had sinned, but cast them downe into hell
and delivered them into chaines of darke-
nes, to be kept unto damnation :

5 Neither hath spared the olde wolde, but
faued * for the eight person a preacher of
righteousneſſe, and brought in the koud
upon the world of the vngodly,

6 And * turned the cities of Sodom & Go-
morke into adhes, condemned them and
ouerthewe them, and made them an en-
sample unto them that after should live bn-
godly,

7 * And delivered inſt Loth bered with the
uncleanly conversation of the wicked,

8 (for he being righteous, and dwelling a-
mong them, in feeing and hearing, bered
his righteous foule from day to day with
their unlawfull deedes.)

9 The Lorde knoweth to deliver the godly
out of tentation, and to referue the unbiſk
unto the dape of indugement to bee puni-
ſhed :

10 And chieflyely them that walke after the
ſkell, in the lust of uncleannes, and despise
the gouvernment, which are prieſumptuons,
and stand in their owne conceite, and keare
not to speake euill of them that are in dig-
nitie.

11 Where as the Angels which are grea-
ter both in power and might, * give not
b. rapling indugement against them before
the Lorde.

12 But these, as * brute beaſſes, led with sen-
sualitie and made to be taken, & destroyed,
speake euill of those things which they
knowe not, and shall perish through they
owe corruption.

13 And all receyve the wages of unrighte-
ouines, as they which count it pleasure to
lie deliciously for a season. Spottes they
are & blottles, & deliting them selues in their
decepings, in feaking with you.

14 Having eyes ful of aduiterie, and that cau
not cease to finne, beguiling unſirable foules:
they haue heartes exercised with couetou-
nes, eurled children,

15 Which forſaking the right way, haue gone
aſtraff, following the way of * Balaam, the
ſonne of Boz, which loued the wages of
unrightouines.

16 But hee was rebuked for his iniquitie:
for the domme alle speaking with man's
boycot, forbadethe fooliſhnes of the Pro-
phet.

17 These are welles without water, and
* clouds carried about with a tempeſt, to
whom the blacke Darkenes is referred for
euere.

18 For in speaking ſwelling wordes of bani-
tie, they beguile with wantonnes through
the lustes of the kely them that were clean
escaped from them which are wrapped in
crout,

19 Promiling unto them libertie, are them
selues the * ſeruants of corruption : for of
whom ſo euere a man is overcome, euen bu-
to the same is he in bondage.

20 * For if they, after they haue escaped from
the filthineſſe of the wold, through the
* knowledge of the Lorde, and of the Sau-
our Jefus Christ, are yet tangled againe
therein, and ouercome, the latter ende is
woſe with them then the beginning.

21 For it had bene better for them, not to
haue knowne the way of righteouſneſſe,
then after they haue knowen it, to turne
from the holp * commandement given unto
them.

22 But it is come unto them, according to
the true pioner, * The Dogge is returned

5

But he that keepeth his word, in him is
d the loue of God perfect in deede : hereby
we knowe that we are in him.

6

He that fayeth he remaineth in him, ought
euen to walke, as he hath walked.

7

Biezen, I write no newe commandement unto you : but an olde commaundement, which ye haue had from the beginning : the olde commaundement is the word, which yee haue heard from the beginning.

8

Againe, a newe commandement I write
unto you, that which is true in him, and al-
so in you : for the darkenesse is pait, and the
true light nowe Shineth.

9

He that fayeth that hee is in the light, and
hatheth his Mother, is in darkenesse untill
this time.

10

10 * Hee that loneth his brother, abideth in the light, and there is none occasion of euill in him.

11

But he that hateth his brother is in darkenes, and walketh in darkenes, and knoweth not whither hee goeth, because that darkenesse hath blinded his eyes.

12

2 Little children, I write unto you, because
you finnes are forgiue you for his Names
take.

13

I write unto you, fathers, because ye have
knowne him that is from the beginning. I
write unto you, yong men, because ye have
ouercome the "wicked."

14

14 I write unto you, babes, because ye have knowne the Father. I have written unto you, Fathers, because ye have knowne him, that is from the beginning. I have written unto you, yong men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome the "wicked."

15

15 Loue not the wold, neither the things
that are in the wold. If any man loue the
* wold, the loue of the Father is not in
him.

16

16 For all that is in the wold (as the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life) is not of the Father, but is of the wold.

17

17 And the world palfeth away, and the lust
thereof: but hee that fulfilleth the will of
God, abideth euer.

18

18 Babes, it is the last time, and as ye haue
heard that Antichrift shall come, even now
are there many Antichriftes: whereby we
knowe that it is the last time.

19

19 They went out from vs, but they were
not of vs: for if they had beene of vs, they
would haue continued with vs. But this
commeth to palle, that it might appeare,
that they are not all of vs.

20

20 But yee have an opeintment from him,
that is p Holy, and yee have knowen all
things.

21

21 I have not written unto you, because ye
know not the trueth: but because ye know
it, and that no lie is of the trueth.

22

22 who is a lier, but he that denieth that Je-

1

fus is : Chrift : the fame is the Antichrift
that denieth the Father and the Sonne.

23

Noholoever denieth the Sonne, the fame
that hath not the Father.

24

Let therefore abide in you that fame
which ye have heard from the beginning.
If that which yee have heard from the be-
ginning, shall remaine in you, ye also shall
continue in the Sonne, and in the Father.

25

And this is the promises that he hath pro-
mitted bg, even eternall life.

26

These things haue I written unto you,
concerning them that deceue you.

27

But the anopinting which ye receped of
him, dwelleth in you : and yee neede not
that any mairteache you: but as the fame
* Anointing teacheth you of all things, and
it is true, and is not lying, and as it taught
you, ye shall abide "in him."

28

And nowe, " little children, abide in him,
that when he shall appeare, we may be bold,
and not be alhamed before him at his com-
ming.

29

If ye knowe that he is righteous, knowe
ye that he which doeth righteously, is borne
of him.

a By this name he is other : the whole Church of Christ in general.

CHAP. III.

The singular lome of God toward vs, 7 And þowes were againe
onght to loue one another.

1

B Cholde, what loue the Father hath
shewed on vs, that we should be a cal-
led the Sonnes of God: for this cause the
wordes knoweth you not, because it know-
eth not him.

2

Dearely beloved, nowe are we the Sonnes
of God, but yet it doeth not appeare what
we halbe : and we knowe that when hee
shall appeare, we halbe e like him : soe
shall fee him as he is.

3

And every man that hath this hope in him,
purgeth himselfe, even as he is pure.

4

Nohosoever d committeth sinne, transgres-
leth also the Lawe: for sinne is the trans-
gression of the Lawe.

5

And ye knowe that he appeared that hee
might *take away our sinnes, and in him
is no sinne.

6

Nohosoever abideth in him, finneth not:
whosoever finneth, hath not leene him, nei-
ther hath knowne him.

7

Little children, let no man deceue you: he
that doeth righteoues, is righteous, as he
is righteous.

8

He that * committeth sinne, is of the de-
will: for the devill finneth from the e begin-
ning: for this purpose appeared the Sonne
of God, that hee might loose the workes of
the devill.

9

Nohosoever is borne of God, finneth not:
for his f feede remapneth in him, nepther
can he be sinne, because he is borne of God.

10

In this are the children of God knowen,
and the children of the devill: whosoever
doeth not righteoues, is not of God, ne-
ther he that houeth not his mother.

11

F for this is the message that ye heard from
the S. lii.

He that ras
keeth away of
bimnithed
either of the
natures in
Chrift, or he
that confoun-
deth of separa-
teth therein, el-
pe that puts
cerely not differ-
ence between
the person of
the Sonne, s
also that he be
keneth not to
hane reuitu-
on of finnes
by his only fa-
cerence, denpeth
Chrift to be the
Mystiaus.

G. Then the in-
noles w年第
not the true
God.

But he
that con-
feseth the
Sonne,

hath also
the father.

Chrift con-
municateth
himfelf vnto
pat, and teas
cheth you by
the holp of God
and his nuncs.

21 To him that overcommeth, will I grant to sitte with me in my throne, even as I overcame, and sitte with my father in his throne.

22 Let him that hath an care, heare what the Spirit faith into the Churches.

by the fire, that thou maist be made rich, & white raiment, that thou maist be clothed, and that thy filthie nakednes doe not appear: & anoint thine eyes with eye salue, that thou maiest fee.

19 As many as I loue, I *rebuke and chasken: be* zealous therefore and amend.

20 Behold, I staid at þ doore, and knocke. If any man heare my boye & open the doore, I will come in vto him, and will suppe with him, and he with me.

After this I looked, & beholde, a * doore was open in heauen, & the first boye which I heard, was as it were of a trumpet talking with me, laying, Come bp hither, and I will shew thee things which must be done hereafter.

And immediately I was rauished in the spirit, and beholde, a * thone was let in heauen, and one late vpon the thone.

And b that late, was to looke vpon, like unto a talper stone, and a sardine, & there was a rainbowe rounde about the thone in light like to an emeraude.

And rounde about the thone were ſoure and twenty ſeats, and vp the ſeats I lawe * ſoure and twenty Elders sitting, clothed in white raiment, and had on their heads crownes of golde.

And out of the thone * proceeded * lightnings, and thundrings, and bovces, and there were ſeuen lampes of fire, burning before the thone, which are the ſeuen hitrits of God.

And before the thone there was a * lea of glasse like vnto a crypſtall: and in the * mids of the thone, and rounde about the thone were ſoure h beaſtes full of eyes before & behinde.

And the first beaſt was like a * lyp, and the second beaſt like a calfe, and the third beaſt had a face as a man, and the fourth beaſt was like a flying egle.

And the ſoure beaſtes had each one of the fire wings about him, and they were full of eyes within, and they ceafed not day no night, laying, i * Holy, holyp, holyp, Lord God almightie, w hich was, and w hich is, and w hich is to come.

And when those beaſtes gaue glorie, and honour, and thanks to him that late on the thone, which liueth for euer and euer.

10 The ſoure and twentie Elders ſel down before him that late on the thone, and worlſhipped him, that liueth for evermore, k and cast their crownes before the thone,

laying,

11 Thou art * worty, D Loide, to receue chap.5:12.
glory and honour, and power: for thou haſt created all thinges, and for thy willles ſake they are, and haue bene created.

CHAP. V.

12 The ſeeth the Lambe opening the booke, 8, 14. And therefore the ſoure beaſts, the xrint. Elders, and the *Angels prieſte the Lambe, and do him wortship 2. For their recompitment and other benEFiEs.

And I saw in the right hand of him that late vpon the thone, a * Booke written within, and on the backe side, sealed with b ſeuen ſeales,

And I saw a strong Angell, which prieſed with a loud boye, who is worthy to open the booke, and to loose the ſeales thereof?

And no man in heauen, no in earth, neuer under the earth, was able to open the Booke, neither to looke thereon.

4 Then I wept much, because no man was founde worthy to open, and to reade the Booke, neither to looke thereon.

5 And one of the Elders ſaid vnto me, Weepe not : beholde, the * Lyp which is of the tribe of Juda, the roote of David, hath obtained to open the Booke, and to loose the ſeuen ſeales thereof.

a A ſimilode take of earthie pinders, which image bp hones and penninges, and here it is, both ſignifies all the counte and all the genues of God, which are only known to the Church of God.
b That is, man.
c Gen. 4:10.

Then I behelde, and lo, in the middes of the thone, a * of the ſoure beaſtes, and in the middes of the Elders, ſood a * Lambe as though he had bene killed, which had a * ſeuen homes, and * ſeuen eyes, which are the ſeuen spirits of God, lent into all the world.

And he came, and tooke the Booke out of the right hand of him that late vpon the thone.

And when he had taken the Booke, the ſoure beaſts, & the ſoure and twenty Elders * fell downe before the Lambe, having euery one harpes and golden vialles full of odours, which are þ spayers of þ Saints.

And they ſung a new ſong, laying, Thou art worthy to take the Booke, and to open the ſeales thereof, because thou waſt killed, a * haſt redeemed vs to God by thy blood out of euery kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation,

10 And haſt made vs vnto our God *kings and Princes, and we shall reigne on the earth.

11 Then I behelde, and I heard the boye of many Angels round about the thone, about the beaſtes and the Elders, and there were * thousand thousands,

12 Say ing with a loude boye, wort hie is the * Lave that was killed to receiue pow er and rch es, and wildome, and strength, and honor, and glo v, and p yaye.

13 And all the creatures which are in hea uen, and on þ earth, and under the earth, and in the sea, and all that are in them, heare d I, lay ing, Pray e and honour, and glo v, and pow er be vnto him, that l iueth vpon the thone, and vnto the Lambe for euermore.

This then ſo unſiuerth the power of our Lord Jesus, which is the Lambe of God that reheths as long as the time of the wort h.

A. Ad Iaw a beaſt rife out of the Sea, hauing b'euen heads, and c'een homes, and upon his homes were ten crownes, and upon his heads the name of blaphemie.

And the beaſt which I saſe, was like a d'Leopard, and his ſeete like a beares, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion : and e' Dragon gave him his power a his thone, and great authority.

And I ſaw one of his e' heads as it were wounded to death, but his s deadly wound was healed, and all the worde wondred and followed the beaſt.

And they wouhipped the Dragon which gave power vnto the beaſt, and they h'wor- hipped the beaſt, ſaying, who is like vnto the beaſt? who is able to warre with him?

And there was giuen vnto him a mouth, that spake great things and blaphemies, e power was giuen vnto him, to do t'wo and fourty monethes.

And hee opened his mouth vnto blaf- phemie against God, to blapheme his Name and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaun.

And it was giuen vnto him to make war with the Saints, and to k'oucome them, and power was giuen him ouer enuer-kin- ted and tongue, and nation.

8 Therefore all that dwell vpon the earth, shall wor- chip him, whose m' names are not w'ritten in the booke of life of the Lambe, which was ſlaine v'rom the beginning of the world.

9 If any man haue an eare, let him heare.

10 If any leade into captiuitie, hee shall goe n' into captiuitie: if any kill with a wode, hee must bee killed by a wode: here is the pacience, and the faith of the Saints.

11 And I behelde another beaſt comming by out of y' earth, which had two h'omes like the Lambe, but he h'spake lyke h'dragoſ.

12 And he did all that the first h'beaſt coulde doe before him, and hee caused the earth, and them which dwell therein, to wor- ship the first h'beaſt, whose deadly wound was healed.

13 And h' did great wonders, so that hee made fire to come downe from heauen on the earth, in the ſlight of men,

14 And deceived them that dwell on the earth by the lignes, which were permitted to him to do in the fight of the beaſt, ſaying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make the image of the beaſt, which had the wound of a wode, and did line.

15 And it was permitted to him to give a z' spirit vnto the image of the beaſt, so that the image of the beaſt should h'spake, and should cause that as many as would not b'wor- hippe the image of the beaſt, should be killed.

16 And he made all, both small and great, rich and poore, free and bonde, to receive a s'marke in their right hande or in their foreheads.

17 And d' that no man might buy or ſell, laue he that had the marke, or the name of the beaſt, or the number of his name.

18 Here is woldom. Let him that bath weſt, count the number of the beaſt: for it is the number e' of a man, and his number is cl'urtheth, three core and cl.

God.

The bookes of the olde Teſtament, do teach vs that the fame God, whom Adam, Noe, Abraham, Ifahac, Iacob, Dauid, and the other fathers did worſhip, is * the onely true God, and that he the fame is almightie and a euerlaſting: Who of his meere goodneſſe hath created by his word b heauen and earth, and all that is in them: From whom all things do come: without whom there is nothing at all: And that he is c iuſt and merciſull: Who alſo d worketh all in all, e after his owne will: f To whom it is not lawfull to ſay, wherefore he doeth thus or thus.

Creation of man.

Sinne.

Moreouer, these bookes teach vs, that this verie God almightie, after he created al things, he ſo eadeuil and earth, and all that is in them: From whom all things do come: without whom there is nothing at all: And that he is c iuſt and merciſull: Who alſo d worketh all in all, e after his owne will: f To whom it is not lawfull to ſay, wherefore he doeth thus or thus.

Chrifter prouſed.

FVrthermore, we are taught by these excellent bookes, that God promiſed to k Adam, j Abraham, m Ifahac, n Iacob, o Dauid, and to other fathers of the olde time, that he would ſend that bleſſed ſeede, his ſonne Ieſus Chriſt our ſauier, which should deliuer all thofe from ſinne, and from the P tyrannie of the deuill, which by a liuely and working faith should beleeue this promiſe, & put their truſt in Ieſus Chriſt, hoping that of him and by him, they should obſtine this deliuerance.

The Lawe.

ALſo they giue vs to vnderſtād, that in the meane ſeaſon, while thoſe fathers the Israelites looked for the ſaluation and deliuerance promiſed (for that the nature of man is ſuch, ſo proude and ſo corrupt, that thoſe would not willingly acknowledge themſelues to be ſinners, which had neede of the ſauier promiſed) God the creat or gaue by Mofes his q law written in two tables of ſtone: that by it, ſinne and the malice of man's heart being t knowne, men mought more vehemently truſt for the t comming of Ieſus Chriſt, who should redeeme and deliuer them from ſinne: Which thing, neither the law, nor yet the ſacrifices and oblations of the law did t perſourme. For they were ſha- dowes and figures of the true oblation of the bodie of Chriſt: by which oblation all u ſinne ſhouſle be blotted out, and quite put away.

Chrifter God our ſauier came.

BY the bookes of the new Teſtament we be taught, that Chriſt ſo afore promiſed (* which is God aboue all things moſt bleſſed for euer) euen he, I ſay, was ſhadowed in the bookes of the olde Teſtament, and in ſacrifices ſigured, that he was a ſent at the laſt from the father, the ſelſe ſame time which the father did conſtitute within himſelfe: I ſay, b at that time, when all) wickednes abounded in the world, then he was ſent: And this Ieſus our ſauier, being borne in the ſelſh, c ſuſſed death, and roſe againe from the dead. Which aſtes of his were not done by him in reſpect of the d good works of any man (for we were al ſinners) but that this God our father should e appeare true, in ex- hibiting the abundant f riches of his grace which he promiſed, and that e through his mercie he mought bring vs to ſaluation.

Whereupon it is euidently ſhewed in the h neve Teſtament, that Ieſus Chriſt, being the true i lambe, the true k ſacrifice of the world, l putting away the ſinnes of men, came into this world to purchase grace and m peace for vs with the father, n waſhing vs from our ſinnes in his owne blood, and o should deliuer vs from the bondage of the deuill, whom by ſinne wee did ferue: And ſo wee should be P adopted by him to be the ſonnes of God, made q heires with him of that moſt excellent and euerlaſting kingdome.

Now, that we should acknowledge this ſingular and excellent benefite of God towards vs, al- mightie God t giueth vs his holy ſpiriſt: the ſfrute and effect of the which is ſayth in God, and in his Chriſt. For, without the holy ghoſt, by which we are inſtructed and t ſealed, neither can we be- leeuue that God the father ſent Mefias, nor yet that Ieſus is Chriſt: For u no man (faeth Paul) can ſay that Ieſus is the Lord, but by the holy ghoſt. The x fame ſpiriſt witneſſeth to our ſpiriſt, that wee are the children of God, y and poureth into our bowels that charitie which Paul describeth to the Corinthians. Furthermore, that holy ſpiriſt doth giue vs hope, which is a ſure looking for eternal life, whereof he himſelfe is the certaine z token and pledge.

NEW HAVEN SABBATH
"After the manner of the Puritans"

PLYMOUTH CHURCH
New Haven, Conn. April 24, 1938

New Haven wisely begins its Tercentenary Observance with the New Haven Sabbath. Arriving in New Haven during the latter part of the week just 300 years ago, the founders rested on the Sabbath and held their worship under an oak tree near the landing, with Rev. John Davenport preaching in the morning and Rev. Mr. Prudden (founder of Milford) in the afternoon. To all Puritans the Sabbath meant everything, and the services of the Meeting House, long as they would seem to a "speeded up" age like our own, were sources of spiritual exaltation and inspiration. As a church of the Puritan tradition and Congregational fellowship, we are happy to hold the service this morning "after the manner of the Puritans". Let us enter into it with grateful hearts and with the spirit of reverence.

(According to tradition, the men are asked to sit on the right side facing the pulpit and the women on the left. The Deacons occupy seats facing the congregation in front of the pulpit. The people stood when the minister entered the pulpit, as a mark of respect.)

The Sermon "The Challenge of the Founders!"

The Prayer (People standing)

The Psalm (Seated)

PSAIM IXV. "Te Decet Hymnus"

York Tune

Thy praise, alone, O Lord, doth reign,
in Sion thine own hill:

Their vows to Thee they do maintain,
and evermore fulfill.

For that Thou dost their prayers still hear
and dost thereto agree:

Thy people all both far and near
with trust shall come to Thee.

Our wicked life so far exceeds
that we shall fall therein:

But, Lord, forgive our great misdeeds,
and purge us from our sin.

The man is blest whom Thou dost chuse
within Thy courts to dwell:

Thy house and temple he shall use,
with pleasures that excell.

Of Thy great justice hear, O God,
our health of Thee doth rise:

The hope of all the earth abroad,
and the sea-coasts likewise.

With strength Thou are beset about,
and compast with Thy power:

Thou mak'st the mountains strong and stout,
to stand in ev'ry shower.

The swelling seas Thou dost asswage,
and make their streams full still:

Thou dost restrain the people's rage,
and rule them at Thy will.

The folk that dwell thro'out the earth
shall dread Thy signs to see:
Which morn and ev'ning with great mirth
send praises up to Thee.

The Bringing of the Offering (The offerings were brought to the Communion Table by the heads of families, after a Deacon announced, "Brethren of the congregation, now there is time left for contribution; wherefore as God has prospered you, so freely offer.")

Leonard Bacon's Hymn (Seated)

Tune of Duke Street

O God, beneath thy guiding hand,
Our exiled fathers cross'd the sea;
And when they trod the wintry strand,
With prayer and psalm they worship'd Thee.

Thou heard'st, well pleased, the song, the prayer;
Thy blessing came; and still its power
Shall onward through all ages, bear
The memory of that holy hour.

Laws, freedom, truth, and faith in God
Came with those exiles o'er the waves;
And where their pilgrim feet have trod,
The God they trusted guards their graves.

And here thy name, O God of love,
Their children's children shall adore,
Till these eternal hills remove,
And spring adorns the earth no more.

## The Invocation.

O God who art, and wast and art to come,
before whose face the generations rise and pass
away, age after age the living seek thee, and find
that of thy faithfulness there is no end. Our
Fathers in their pilgrimage walked by thy guidance
and rested on thy compassion. O Thou sole Source
of peace and righteousness, take now the vail from
every heart, and join us in one communion with
Thy prophets and saints who have trusted in thee
and were not ashamed. Through Jesus Christ, Our
Lord, Amen.

## The Scriptures

Hebrews 11:-1-3,8-16,32-12:2.

Faith-the ventrue of the soul, how little we
know about it-when compared to these heroic
founders of New Haven. England-with all its
lack of liberty they knew. No doubt about it.
But this new land. A wilderness, rather than
beautiful land of today. Indians. The Dutch
who were unsympathetic. Kinfolk. Disease.
That was faith.

Died in faith.-Many in early days. Even those
to ripe old age. This city---not realized. A ideal
country-

The mighty list. ---Yet not all so mighty.
Dr? Patton. Men like unto ourselves. What a
company in our city. Eaton, and Davenport, and
Gilbert but also the widow Green. Governor and Mrs.

Witnesses. All these centuries look down on
us today.

And Jesus himself. Our great Captain.

O God of our fathers, and our God, Thou hast been the refuge of good and wise men in all generations. Through all the ages thou hast been the Lord and giver of life, the source of all knowledge, the fountain of all goodness.

The patriarchs trusted thee and were not put to shame, the preachers sought thee and thou dist commit Thy word to their lips;

The Psalmists rejoiced in Thee, and Thou were present in their song,

The apostles waited on Thee and they were filled with thy Holy Spirit, The martyrs called upon Thee and Thou wert with them in the midst of the flame. The Founders of this city crossed the mighty ocean to establish here a city whose foundations were those of Christian Faith, and through the years, their sons and daughters have

contined to lift their hands and hearts in praise and thanksgiving unto Thy name, and always Thou hast been in their midst and thy guiding hand has been felt in their deliberations and in their deeds.

So with grateful hearts, remembering all thy goodness to our Fathers before us, and to us in our own generation, we offer our Thanksgiving unto Thee. Blessed art Thou and greatly to be praised, for thy loving kindness and thy tender mercy, and all the mighty deeds which Thou hast accomplished in this place. We praise Thee also for those who in the Spirit of our Lord Jesus Christ have born eloquent and winsome witness to thy truth, a mighty company of Christ like souls, the beauty of whose lives abides with us.

In this hour of great opportunity, grant to each of us a larger vision, of what this city may become, and help us daily to translate our dreams and aspirations into living and vital deeds. May our city be strong in all civic virtues, in the mutual appreciation of its citizens for ane another, and in its love of Thee, the Author and sustainer of Life.

And may all who are carrying heavy burdens in life, those who are sick in body, mind, and spirit, remember, how our Fathers in those days which are passed depended on thee and were not confounded, turn with one accord unto thee, and in thy peace and saving health, find their peace.

Prayer after Sermon.
