C The lummne and content of all the holu

Scripture, both of the olde and new testament.

Hyrst the holy wrightynges of the Byble teache

us, that ther is one God, almyghtye, that hath neither begynnynge, ner endynge: which of
hys a wne goodnes dyd create all thynges: of whom all thinges p[ro]ceade, and with out whos
ther is no thynge, which is ryghteous and mercypull: and which willeth all thyn ges in all
after hys wyll: of whom it mape not be demaunded wherfor he doth thys or that.

C Then that thys verye God dyd create Adá

the fyrst man after hys a wne p[ym]age and sp[er]tyletude, and dyd ordepine and appoynte hym
Lo[de] of all the creatures in the earth. Which Adam by the enup of the dewll disobeving the
commaundement of hys maker, and dyd fyrst spynne, and brought spynne into thys worlde,
soch and so greate, that we which be sp[er]onge of hym after the felle, are subdued vnto spynne,
deeth, and damnacyon, brought vnder the pouck and ty[an]npe of the dewyll.

And further that Christ Jesus hys lón[e] was

prompted of God the father, to be a saufour to thys Adam, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, David,
and the other fathers: which thulde delyner them from theyr spynnes and ty[an]npe of the de-
wyll, that with a qupeck and lyupnge fayth wolde beleue thys p[ro]messel[le], and truft to this Je-
lus Chyrk, hopping to haue thys delyneraunce of and by hym. And truly thys p[ro]messel[le], is
verye oft reheared in the booke[s] of the olde testament, yee, and the olde testament is thys
p[ro]mes: as it ys called the new, which teacheth that thys p[ro]messel[le] is fulfylled.

And that in the meane season whyle the fa-

thers loked for saluacion and delyneraunce prompt[ed], because mannes nature is soch that he
not only cannot, but alfo wyll not confesse hym felke to be a fynner, and specyally socha sp[er]-
ner that hath neade of the saup[ing] healt[hy] prompt[ed], the lawe was genen wher throu gh men
might know spynne, and that they are fynners: when they se that they do none of the thinges
that the lawe commaundeth, with so gladde and wyllynge a mpnde as God requyeth: but
rather agaynst theyr wylles, without affeccion, and as though they were constrayned v
the feare of that hell which the lawe threateneth, lay[ing]: Curs[ed] be he that maynteneth not
all the wordes of this lawe to hepe them. And that thys lawe was g[ue]n, to thy intent that
spynne and the malye of m[é]nes hertes beinge therby the better knowne, men thulde the moare
fermently thyrst the commynge of Chyrk, which thulde redeme them from theyr spynnes.
As it was f[yr]gured vnto the Jewes by many ceremonys, hoffes, and sacryp[cy]es: which
were ordepine of God, not to thy intent to take awaye spynnes, but to the we and declare that
they thulde be put awaye by fayth the saluacion prompt[ed] thorow Chyrk: and which now
are put awaye by the comping of that Christ, which is the very hoste of the father that fa-
keth awaye all spynne.

Last of al/by the boke[s] of the new T[est]am[et]/

we are taught, that Christ whych was prompt[ed] and shadowed in the olde Testament,
is lent of the father, at soch tyme as he had determined with hym felke, at soch tyme (I faye)
as all wyckednesse k[or]p[ys]hed. And that he was lent, not for any mans good worckes ( for
they all were fynners) but to thy intent that he wolde trul[]p the we the abundant r[ep]chelle of
grace, which he had prompt[ed].

C In the new testament therefore it is moost

eup[and]ently declared, that Jesus Christ the true lambe and hoste, is come to thy intent to re-
conciele vs to the father, payeng on the croste the p[un]p[li]ment due vnto oure spynnes: and to
delyner vs from the b[on]dage of the dewyll ( vnto whom we served th[ou]gh spynne) and to
make vs the sonnes of God, lyth he hath genen vs the true peace and tranquilltie of con-
science, that we no longer do feare the paynes of hell: which feare is put awaye by the faith,
confusion and assurance, that the father g[eu]eth vs draw[ing] vs vnto hys londe. For that
fayth is the gyft of God, wherby we beleue that Christ is come into thys world to laue kin-
ners: which is of so great p[ri]th that they w h[ich] laue it deelye to perfourne all the dutpes of

loue to al me, after the example of Christ. For that ones receaued God geneth his holy ghost,
wherwith he tokeneth and marketh all that belene: which is the pledge and earneſt that we
thall fuerly posſelle euerlastyng lyke, and that geneth wytnes vnto our ſprete, and graſſeth
this faith in vs, that we be the ſonnes of God: powrpinge therwith that loue vnto oure her-
tes which Paul describeth a fetteth out to the *Corinthians. By that kayth and confidence
in Christ which by loue is mightye in operacyon, and that weeth it ſelke thozow the woſc-
kes of loue, ſterrynge men thereto, by (I laye) we are inſtifyed: that is, by that kayth, Chri-
tes father ( whych is become oures also thozow that Christ oure hrother ) counteth vs for
righteons and for his ſonnes: imputynge not oure ſynnes vnto vs, thozow his grace.

To conclude, he came to th intent that we be ynge cleansed from oure ſynnes, and ſanct-
fyed vnto God the father: that is, halowed vnto the vle of the father to exorceryle good woſ-
kes, renying and forſakyng the woſckes of the fleth, Chulde freely ſerne hym in ſpighteouſnes,
and polyneſſe all oure lyke longe: thozow good woſckes which God hath ordeined to thyn-
tent that we chuld walcke in them, declarng our ſelues therby to be fuerly called vnto thys
grace: which woſckes whoſoever hath not, declareth that he hath not kayth in Christ.

Unto whom we muſt come, and folow hym with a cheartfull hert, that he maye inſtruct
and teach vs: for he is our mayſter, meake and humble of hert: he is oure example of whom
we muſt learne the rule of good lyuyng: further, he is oure preſt, hye hyshop, and onely me-
diator: which now lytteth on the ryghte hande of God the father, is our aduocate, & prayeth
euer for vs: which wyll undoutely obtayne what ſoever we deelye, ether of hym, or of hys
father in hys name: yf we belieue that he wyll do it when we requyze it. For so hath he pio-
nyted. Let vs therfore not doute, all though we ſome tyme ſynne, with a confudence to co-
me vnto hym, and with a lyuyng and vndoutyng kayth, that we chall obtayne mercye. For or
therfore came he to thyntent to ſaue ſynners: neither requyeth he any thynge moare of vs,
then to come vnto hym without keare.

Thys is that Chryſt Jefus/ which after he

hath applied the man of ſynne with the breath of hys mouth, shall ſyt in hys maiſtyle, & udge
all men, geuyng vnto euery one the woſckes of hys bodye, accorſynde to that he hath done,
whether it be good or badde. And that shall laye vnto them that chalbe on hys ryght hande.
Come ye bleſſed chyldren of my father, inheret ye the kyngdoine prepared for you from the be-
gynnynge of the woſlde. And vnto them that chalbe on hys left hande, Departe from me ye
curſed, into euerlastinge ſpre: which is prepared for the deuell and hys aungels. Then chall
the ende come and he chall delpuer vp the kyngdome to God the father.

To thyntent that we chulde knowe thys/by

the goodneſſe of God worckyng by hy holys ſprete, are the holyp writinges of the Byble ge-
uen vs. That we chulde knowe (I laye) and belieue that there is one God, and Jefus Christ
whom he hath ſent: and that in beleuynge we chulde haue euerlastynge lyke thozow hys
name.

Another foundacyon then thys can no man

laye. And laynt Paul despyeth that he be holden a curſed which preacheth any other kayth
and faluacyon, then onely by Jefus Christ: yee, all though he it were an aungel of heauen.

For of hym, and thozow hym, and for hym, are all thynges: to whom, with the father
and the holy ghost, be honour and glORY for euermoſe. Amen.

## A prologue/expr essyng e what is

meant by certain signs and tokens that we
have set in the Byble.

Jrst / where as often tymes ye shall
tynde a small letter in the texte, it signifeth that so moche as is in the small
letter doth abounde and is more in the common translacon in Latyn, then
is founde ether in the Hebrue or in the Greke, whych words and sentences
we haue added, not only to manykest the same vnto you, but also to latifpe
and content those, that here before tyme, hath myſed ſoche ſentées in the Bybles and new
textaments before set forſth. After one, where as ye kynde thys ſigne →, it betokeneth a dy-
nerſte and difference of readynge betwene the Hebrues and the Chaldees in the same pla-
ce, which diuerſytes of readinges we were purpofed to haue set forſth particularly vnto you:
But for so moch as they are very longe and tedyons, and thys volume is very greate and
houge all readye, we haue therfore at this tyme left the oute, trustynge herafter to set them
forſth in some lpytle volume by them ſelues.

We haue also (as we maye ke) added many handes both in the mergent of thys volume,
and also in the text, vpon the which, we purpofed to haue made in the ende of the Byble (in
a table by them ſelues) certen godly annotations: but for so moch as yet there hath not bene
ſokpient tyme minyſtred to the Kynge's moſt honizable councell, for the ouerſyght and
cozreceyon of the ſayde annotations, we will therfore omyt them, and their moze convenieth
to ſe four. Doynge now nomore but beſeke the moſt gentle reader, that when thou commenſt
at loch a place where a hande doth stande (or any other where, in the Byble) so thou canſt not
attayne to the meanynge and true knowledge of that ſentence, then do not rathly pze-
ſume to make any p[ri]uate interprætacion therof: but submyt thy ſelke to the ind-
gement of those that are godly learned in Christ Jesu. To the which Je-
ſu with the father and holy goofft be honoure and prayſe
for ever.
Amen.

Cwyth what judgement the bokes of the

Olde Testament are to be red.

Here haue bene many notable men heretofore, whych haue wypten very excellent
thynges of the vle of the Olde Testament, stoppinge ther mouths, whych ape
that those bokes were wypten one by to the Jewes, and that they conteyne no-
thynge elles but certain hykorous of Olde thynges, mozouer that ther ys no-
thynge to be sought in them but allegorizes. These me are utterly deceynd, where as Chi-
lke is the apostles so often hath monyhed to ouer see the bokes of Holes and the Pzophe-
tes. Ko of me, layth Chryste in the. v. of Jion, hath Holes wypten: and Paule in the. j. to
Romapns, because that þ Golpell was pnompled of God in the Scrptures. Therfore the
repyng of the Olde Testament ys not to be delipfyd, but wyth all vilygece to be followed,
whereof the apostles, yee, and Chryst hym selfe hath sought wypnes of the doctrine, ad
w auctopte of it haue confermed the very Golpell. Ko what is the Golpell elles, but a ma-
ner of open preeaching of layenges & pnomples of the Olde Testament, the whych be ful-
fullyd by Chryste. Ko thus also thought the best lernyd men of the Jewes, þ the prophetes
the ly spake of the tymes of Melchia. Therfore the bokes of the Olde Testament are mo-
che to be regarded because they be as it were a manner of foundation, wher onto the newe
Testament doth cleave and leane, out of the whych certain argumentes of the newe Testa-
ment mape be taken. Ko there is no thynge chewed in the new Testament, the whych was
not shadowed before in the fygures of Holes lawe, and forswoken in the revelacions of the
prophetes, somethynges even euydently expelled. Whych manner of thynges are these that
there be not many goddes, that there is but one God, the call yng of the Heathc, þ Chast by
myracle was to be vaine of a vyzgyn, þ the cleennes of þ heart was to be requyzed, of þ circu-
city of the felle. That Chryst thulde take away the lynnes of vsall. &c. Ther were agay-
ne other thynges so obscurely shadowed, that except they had bene opened of Chryst, or of
holy men, no man myght haue understande them, as koz er example, who could haue under-
stande, that the bzaſen serpent hanged upon þ tre, dyd preſugure Chryſt crucified, except þ
Lozde hym selfe had wypſaued so to expound it, and so lykewypfe of dpuerſe other thynges.

And God layd: let there be a firmamét betwene the waters, & let it make a diuition betwene waters & waters. And God made the firmamét, & let a diuition betwene the waters which were under the firmament, & the waters that were above the firmamét. And it was so. And God called the firmamét, Heauen. The euening alio & the mornynge was made the seconde dape.

And God layd: * let the waters under heauen be gathered together in to one pla ce, that the drie lóde maye be lene. And so it came to palle. And God called the drie londe Erth: & the gathering together of waters called he the lees. And God sawe that it was good.

And God layde vnto Noah: The ende of all flesh is come before me, for the erth is ſpilled with crueltye for the face of theſe. And beholde, I wyl deſtroy them with the erth, Make the an Arke of pyne trees. Habita- ciors Chalt thou make in the Arke, and Chalt pitch it within & without with pitch.

The fountapnes alio of the depe & the wyndows of heauen were stopped, and the rayne from heauen was restrayned. And the waters from the erth were returned, goinge and commypnge agayne. And after the ende of the hundredſteth & fiftieth daye the waters were abated. And in the ſeventh moneth in the ſevententh daye of the moneth, the Arke reſteth vpſo the mountaynes of Armenia.

Chanaan begat zidon his firck-borne fon- ne, and Heth, & Jebus, and Emori, & Girgo- fl. Hahim alio and Haarki and Haffini, and Haaruadi, and Hazmari, and Hahemath: And afterward were the kynreds of the Ca- nanites spred abode. The border of the Ca- nanites was from zidon, as thou comelt to Gerar vntill Gazan, and as thou goeft vn- to Sodoma, and Gomorza, and Adama, & zebouim, euen vnto Le: fa. These are the chil- dren of Ham in their kynreds, in their ton- ges, countrees and in their nacion.

Unto Sè also the father of all the childre of Eber ( & elder brother of Japheth ) there were children borne. The children of Sem: Elam and Assur, Arphachslad, and Lud & Aram. The children of Aram: Uz and Hul, Gether & Was * Arphachslad begat Selah, & Selah begat Eber. Unto Eber also were borne two fones: The name of the one was Peleg, for in his dayes was the erth deuyd. And his brothers name was Jaketan. Jaketan begat Almodad and Saleph Ha- zarmaeuht & Jeral, and Hodzor & Izal and Dickla, Obal alio & Abimael & Sche- ba, and Ophir, and Hamula, and Jobab. All these were the childre of Jaketan. And their dwellinge was from Mela, as thou goeft vnto Sephar a moút of the ealt. These are the childre of Sem after their kynreds and tonges in their londes and nacions. And so these are the kynreds of the children of No- ah, after their generacions in their peoples, and of these were the nacions in the erth ak- ter the floude.

And they layd: Go to, let us buylde us a cite & a tower, whose toppe maye reach unto heauen: let us make us a name, left haply we be scatred abode i to the upper face of the whole erth. But the Lorde came downe, to se the cie and tower which the childre of men bepld.

And the Lorde layd: Bebeside, the people one, and they have all one language, & this they begynne to do, neyther will it be reftrayned from them, whatfoever they have ymagined to do. Come on, let us go downe, and confounde their language, that every one perceane not his nephtours speche. And so the Lorde scatred them from that place into the upper face of all the erth. And they left of to buylde the cyte. And therfore is the name of it called * Babel, because the Lorde dyd there confounde the language of all the erth. And from thence dyd the Lorde scater them abode upon the face of all the erth.

These are the generacions of Sem: Sem was an hundred yere olde, and begat Arphachslad two yere after the floude. And Sem lyued (after he begat Arphachslad) fyue hundred yeres, and begat fonnes and daughters.

And Arphachslad lyued fyue & thirtye peres, & begat Selah. And Arphachslad lyued (after he begat Selah) foure hundred & thre yeres, & begat fonnes & daughters.

Selah lyued thirtye peres, & begat Eber. And Selah liued (after he begat Eber) foure hundred and thre yeres, and begat fonnes and daughters.

C

Eber lyued foure & thirtye peres, & begat Peleg. And Eber lyued (after he begat Peleg) foure hundred and thirtye peres, & begat fonnes and daughters.

Peleg lyued thirtye peres, & begat Ren. And Peleg lyued (after he begat Ren) two hundred and nyne peres, and begat fonnes and daughters.

Ren lyued two and thirtye peres, and begat Serug. And Ren lyued (after he begat Serug) two hundred and feuen peres, and begat fonnes and daughters.

Serug lyued thirtye yeres, & begat Mahor. And Serug lyued (after he begat Mahor) two hundred yeres, and begat fonnes and daughters.

And Mahor lyued nyne & twentye yeres, and begat Terah. And Mahor lyued (after he begat Terah) an hundred & nyuntene peres, & begat fonnes and daughters.

Terah lyued leuentye yeres, and begat Abam, Nahor, and Haran.

These are the generacions of * Terah: Terah begat Abam, Nahor, & Haran. Haran begat Lot. And Haran dyed in the pience of Terah his father, in the lode of his natuры, euen in Ar of the Caldees. Abam and Nahor toke them wyues: The name of Abiás wife was Sarai, & the name of Na-hor's wife was Wilca, the Daughteſt of Haran the father of Wilca, & the father of Wilca. But * Sarai was baren, & had no childe.

And Terah toke Abam * his lóne, and Lot the londe of Haran, his fonnes londe, & Sara his daughter in lawe, his lóne Abiás wife. And they departed together from Ar of the Caldees, þ they might go into the londe of Chanaan, & they came unto Charan, & dwelt there. And the dayes of Terah were two hundred and fyue peres, and Terah dyed in Haran.

### C The.xii. Chapter.

Abam is bleſſed of God: he goeth with Lot unto the londe of Chanaan: which God nomiſed to geue unto him and his ſede. Abam coeth in to Egypt: & cauſeth Sarachis wife to call him selfe his father: for whom Dharao is plaged.

Ad the Lorde layde vnto Abiás: Get the out of thy contre, & out of thy nacion, & from thy kathers houſe, vnto a londe þ Jwpl ſhew the.

And Jwpl make of the a greate people, & will be bleſſed the, & make thy name great, that thou mayeſt be euen a bleſſinge. Jwpl alſo bleſſe them that bleſſe the, & curle such as curſeth the, & in the chal all the kynedreds of the erth be bleſſed.

And so Abiás departed euen as the Lorde spake vnto him, & Lot wéte with him. And Abiás was ſeuétye & fyue peres olde, when he departed out of Haran. And Abiam toke Sarai his wife & Lot his brothers lóne, & all their * ſubſaunce that they had in poſſelió, & the ſonnes that they had begotten in Haran. And they departed, þ they might come in to the lóde of Chanaan, and in to the lóde of Chanaan they came. Abiás palled thoroſow the londe vnto the place of Sichem, and vnto the playne of Mozeſh: And the Cananite was then in the londe.

And the Lorde apearinge vnto Abam, layde: Unto thy lede wil I geue this lóde. And there buylde he an altare vnto the Lorde, eué where he had apperead vnto hi.

C And remouynge thence vnto a mountayne that was ealtward from bethel, he pitched hys tent, haupynge Bethel on the weſt ſyde, & Hati on the eart. And he buypupynge an altare vnto the Loſde, dyd call on the name of the Loſde. And Abzã wente furth goinge and departinge towarde the South.

But there was a derth in that londe, and therfore wente Abzã downe into Egypte, þe myght logourne there, for there was a toze derth in the londe. And it happened whan he was come nere to entre into Egypſte, he ſayde vnto Sarat his wyſe: Behold, I knowe, that chou arta fayre womã to loke upon. Therfore chal it come to palle that whan the Egyptians ſe the, they chal ſaye: She is hys wyſe. And they chal kyll me, but they chal ſaue the a Lyue. ſaue (I pape the) that * thou art my ſkyer, that I mape fare well for thy ſake, and that my ſoule mape Lyue thozow thy occafion.

D

And so it happened, whan Abzam was come into Egypte, the Egyptians behelde the woman, for she was very fayre. The virgins alio of Pharao ſawe her, and comèded her before Pharao, and the woman was taken into Pharao's house. And he truly intreated Abzã well for hyr ſake, and he had chepe & oren and he alles, men ſeruautes and mapd ſeruautes, the alles & camels.

And the Loſde ſmote Pharao and hys house with greate plauges because of Sarat Abzam wife. And Pharao callinge Abzã, ſayde: Why haſt thou done this vnto me? Why diddeſt thou not tell me, that she was thy wyſe? Now therfore beholde, there is thy wyſe, take her, and go thy waye: And Pharao gane the men comaudement cœernynge him and they couayed him furth, and his wife, and all that he had.

### C The. xiii. Chapter.

Ad so Abzã gat hi vp out of Egypſte, he & his wyſe, & * all þe he had, & Lot with hi, towarde the South, And Abzã was very riche, in catell in ſyluer & golde. And he wete furth on his journey from the South towarde Bethel, vnto the place where his ſet had bene at the begynnynge, betwene Bethel & Hati: Euen vnto the place of the * altare which he had made there at the firſt, and there Abzã called on the name of the Loſde.

Lot alio which wët with Abzã had shepe, catell & tentes: & the lande was not able to receaue the that they myght dwell to gether, for the * substance of their ryches was w create, & they coulde not dwell to gether. And there fell a ſkyfe betwene the herdmé of Abzãs catell, & the herdmé of Lots catell.

*Gene.xiv.b.

W

Hozedouer the * Canauptes & the Phcreſſtes dwelled at that tyme in the läde. Than ſayde Abzã vnto Lot: Let there be no ſkyſe (I pape the) betwene the and me & * be twene my herdmen and thyde, for we be *齊齊thien. Is not all the * hole lande before the: Departe I pape the fro me. If thou wylt take the leſte hande, I will go to the ryght: of yk for thou departe to the ryght hande I wyll go to the left. And so Lot lyſtinge vp hys eyes, behelde all the contre of Jordane, whych was a pléteons contre of water euery where, before the Loſde deſtroyed Sodome & Gomorra, euen as the garden of the Loſde, lyke the lande of Egypſte as thou commest vnto zoar.

Than Lot chode all the playne couſte of Jordane & toke hys journey from the eart. And so departed the one brother from the other. Abzã dwelled in the läde of Lanan: and Lot abode in the cytes of the playne, & tented vntill Sodome. But * the men of Sodome were wycked, and excedaige synners before the Loſde.

And the Loſde ſayde vnto Abzam, after that Lot was departed for hym: Lyſte vp thyne eyes now, & loke for the place where thou art, northward, southward, eastward & westward, for all * the läde whyche thou leſte wyll I gyue vnto the and to thy ſeed for euer. And I will make thy ſeed, as the duſt of the erth: for that yk a mancane nobize the duſt of the erth, than shall thy ſeed also be nombred. Apyſe and walke about in the läde, after the lègth of it & after the bredth therof, for I wyll geue it vnto the. And Abzã takynge downe hys ſete, came & dwelled in the okegroue of Yamre, namely in Ebyon, and buyped there an alter vnto the Loſde.

Arai Abzams wife bare him no

zam: Beholde the Loode hath
retrapned me, that I can not bere. I praye
to the go in vnto my mayde, pectraument
I maye be edified by her. And Abzam obeied
the voyce of Sarai. And Sarai Abzâs vo-

of Canaan ) and gaue her to hry hushbond
Abzam to be his wpeke.

Which whan he wente in vnto Agar, the

layde to Sarai: beholde, thy mayde is in thy

And whan Sarai fared koule with her,
she fled from the face of her. And the Angell

is in the way to Sur. And he layde: Hagar

And agayne, the angell of the Loode lay-

And Abzâ was. Ixxvi. pere old, when Ha-

And Abraham ſayde vnto God: O that Ismael myghte lyue in thy lyghte.

Unto whom God ſayde: Sara thy wife shall be rethe a ſonne in deſde, ſ thouhalt call his name Jiahac. And I will make my bond with him, for an everlastyng bonde and wypth hys feed after hym. And as concernynge Ismael alſo, I haue herde the: for I haue bleſſed him, ſ will make him to creare, ſ wyl multiplye hym excedigly. Twelueste * princes shall he begete, and I will make a great nació of him. But my bod will I make with Jiahac, which Sara shall bere vn to the: euen this tyme twice moneth.

D And he left of talkynge with hym, departed vp from Abraham. Abraham toke Ismael his ſonne and al ſuch as were borne inlys houſe and all that was bought with money as many as were menchylde which were amóge the men of Abrahams houſe, circuſted the fleſh of their foſzelike, eué in that ſelte ſame daye, as God had ſayde vnto hym. Abrahá alio him ſelf was nypnetie yere olde, and wyne, when the fleſh of his foſelipine was circuſed. Ismaell his ſone was xiii. yere olde whé he was circuſed in the fleſh of his foſkynne. The ſelke ſame daye was Abrahá circuſed and Ismaell hys ſonne. And all the men of hys houſe, borne in his houſe or bought wypth money (of Kraungers) were circumcied wypth hym.

C The. xviij. Chapter.

C There apered the men vnto Abraham. Jiahac is pionyſed to hym againe : at whom Sara lauſhed. The deſtrucctio of the Sodomites is verablyed vnto Abraham. Abraham piapeth for them.

And the Loſde aveared vnto him in the playne of Mamre and he sat in his ſett doze in the heare of the daye And he lyſte vp his eyes and loo-

ked, ſo, the men stode by him. Al when he kaweth, he ran to mete them from the tent doze, and fell to the groúde and ſayde: Loſde (I beſech the) yf I haue founde kauoure in thy lyght: goo not (I pway the) frö thy lernaúte. Let a lytle water be kett, and wath your eſete, and reſteth your ſelues under the tree: And I will kett a moſſer of kyeed, to koſtoſte your hartes withall. And than ſhal ye goo your wapes, for euen therkoſe are ye come to your lernaúte. And thep ſayde: Do euen so as thou hait ſayde. And Abraham went a pale in to his tent vnto Sara, ſayde: make redy attonce the peckes of fyne meale, kneade it, and make cakes. And Abraham rennynge vnto his beaſtes, kett a calfe têdze and good, ſ gaue it vnto a yong man, ſ he haited to make it redy attonce. And he toke butter and mylke, ſ the calfe why the had prepared, ſ kett it before them, and stode him ſelpe by them under the tree * when they did eate.

And they ſayde vnto hi: Where is Sara thy wyke: he anſwered: behold, the is in the tent. And he ſayde: > In returnyng, I will come againe vnto the, acodinge to the tyme of lyſe. And loo + s arath wife ſhall haue a ſonne. That herde Sara, in the tent doze which was behind him. Abrahá and Sara were both olde, ſ well tryſe in age, & it ceased to be with Sara after the maner as it is with wemen. Thereoſe Sara lauſhed within in hyr ſelpe tayinge: Now Iam waxed olde, ſhall I gene my ſelpe to * luſt, & my Loſde olde alio: And God ſayde vnto Abraham: wherkoſe did Sara lauſhe tayinge: ſhall I of a ſuertie bere a childe which am olde: is any thinge wonderfull to God? Acodinge to the tyme * appoynted will I returne vnto the, eué acodinge to the tyme of lyſe, & Sara ſhall haue a ſone. Thá Sara denied it tayinge: I laughed not, for she was a rayde. And he ſayde: It is not so, but thou laughedst. And the me stoding vp frö theſe, loked towarde Sodome. And Abraham went with them to brynge theſe on the waye. And the Loſde ſayde: ſhal I lyde from Abrahá that thinge which I do: seinge that Abraham ſhall be a * great and a nyphtie people, and all the nacions of the erth ſhal be bleſſed in him: I knowe this alſo, that he will commaúde his children and his houſhold after him, that they kepe the waye of the Loſde, and do after righte and conscience, that the Loſde may brynge vpó Abrahá all that he hath spoken vnto hym.

And the Loſde ſayde: * The crye of Sodome and Gomorra is great, and their ſpune is excedynge greuous. I will go downe now and see whether they haue done alltogether acodynge to that crye which is come vnto me or not, that I maye knowe

But Abzahã stode yet before the Loode, and Abzaham drewe nere ſayd: Wylt thou also destroy the rightwes wyth the wicked: perauèture there be l. ryghtwes wyth in the cyte, wylt thou destroy and not spare the place fo: the sake of l. rightwes that are there: That be farre from the, that thou thuldeft do after this ſapenge, ſley the rightwes with the wicked, a that the rightwes thulde be as the wicked, that befarre fro the.

And Abzahã anſwerynge, ſayde: Beholde, I haue taken upon me to ſpake unto the Iorde, * which am but dust and alſhes. perauèture there thal lack ſkyue of fiktye rightheous: Wilt thou destroye all the cite fo: lack of ſkyue: And he ſayde: Yf I fynde there fourtye ſkyue, I wyll not destroye the: And he p[ro]ceaded to ſpeak unto him agayne, ſayde, perauèture there thal be fourtye foude there. He anſwered: I wil not do it fo: forties ſake. He ſayde unto him agayne: D: let not my Loode be angryp I ſpeake: per-adeuature there thal thirtye be foude there. And he ſayde: I wil do nothynge yf I kyn-de thirtye there. He ſayde agayne: D: ſe, I haue taken upon me to ſpeak now also vntommy Loode: perauenture ther thal be twetye foude there. He anſwered: I wil not deſtroye the: fo: twenties ſake. And he ſayde: D: let not my Loode be angry, ſ Wil ſpeak yet but this once. Perauèture there ſhal then be foude there. He anſwered: I wil not deſtroye them for: tens ſake. And the Loode went his waye as foone as he had leſte co-menpynge wyth Abzaham. And Abzaham also returned unto his place.

### C The. 1er. Chapter.

C Lo[ot] receu[ed] two Angelles into hys houſe. The Fylthy luſtres of the Sodomites, Lo[ot] is deu[uered] and deſmeth towell in the cyre 30at. Lo[ot]res wyſe is to: u[n]ed into a p[er]ler of salt. Sodome is deſtroyed. Lo[ot] is wonken ſ[ic]eth with his Daughters w[hy]ch concea: u[de]d chyldren by h[ym].

A

Ad there came, iij. angels to Sodome at euen. And Lot sat at the gate of Sodome And Lot keingeth, he: rose up to mete them, and he *bo: w[ed] him ſelke to the grounde with hys face

And he ſayde: my Lo[des], turne in I p[ra]yce you in to youre ſeruauntes houſe and tary all nighe[es]t waſh youre ſete ſe thall ryſe vp early to go on youre wayes. Which ſayde: nay, but we w[yl]t byde in the ſtreakes all nighe[es]. And he in maner dyb eué *còpelle the* violently. And they turninge in vnto h[im] ſtred in to his houſe, ſe he made them a ſeakke * did bake swccte dried, ſ they did *cate*. And before they w[it] to rest, the men of the cyte

(euen the men of Sodome) compassed the houſe rownde aboute both olde ſ yonge, all the people from all quarters. And they callinge vnto Lot, ſayde vnto him: where are the m[é] which came into the this nygh[ht] bricge them out vnto us ſ we wil knowe them.

And Lot w[et] out at the doo[es] vnto the and Shut the doore after hym and ſayde: nay for goddes ſake biethen, do not so wekedly. Beholde I haue two doughters which haue knowne nomá, them will I b[ry]nge out now vnto you: ſ do with them as it ſemeth good in your eyes. Only vnto theſe men do nothyng, for theſore came they in under the ſhadowe of my roſe. And they ſayde: ſkonde back. And they ſayd he came in as one to ſo: geor[ie], ſ w[yl] he be now a * iudge: do] will ſu[er]tly deale worſe with the thá with them.

And they p[ec]aſed to[ze] vpon the man, eué Lot: a came to b[rea]ke up the doo[es], but the men put for[th] their h[ande] ſ pulled Lot in to the h[ouſe] to them and Shut to the doo[es]. And the men that were at the doo[es] of the h[ouſe], they ſmott[e] wyth b[ly]ndenſle * both small ſgreate: so that they ſaynted and could not kynde the doo[es]. And the m[é] ſayd vnto Lot: I k[]thou haue yet here any ſone in law or ſonnes or daughters or what to euer thou haſt in the cyte, b[ry]nge it out of this place: fo: we muſt destroy this place, because the crye of them is great * before the face of God: for the Loode hath ſent vs to destroy it.

And Lot w[et] out and p[ake] vnto his ſonnes in lawe[which] maried his daughters, ſayinge: ſkonde vp: get pow out of this place, for the Loode will ouerthi[ow]e this cyte. But he ſemed as though he had mocked, vnto his ſones in law. And when the m[or]ninge aro: ſe, the angels cau[led] Lot to p[ede] h[im] p[ap]inge: Stonde vp, take thy wyſe and thy two daughters ar: hande, left thou p[er]thi[en] in the ſynne of the cyte. And as he p[ro]lòg[ed] the ty: me, the m[é] caught both h[im], h[ys] wyſe a his two daughters by the h[á]des, the Lo[de] be: inge mercy[full] vnto him, and they brought hym forth and ſette hym without the cyte.

that I will not ouerthow thyself cytie for
the whych thou hast spoken. Haltre the, & be
laued there, for I can do nothingg tyll thou
be come thither. And therfore the name of
the cite is called soar. And the londe was now
risen upon the erth, when Lot was entred
into soar.

Tha the Loode rayned vpō* Sodome &
Gomorra, brymkon ſ fyre & fro the Loz-
de out of heauē, ſ ouerthre we those cytes ſ
all the region, and all that dwelled in the cy-
tes, and that that grewe upon the erth. But
Lotes wyfe loked behynde her, ſ was tur-
ned in to a pyllar of salte. Abzaham ryſinge
up carly, got him to the place where he to-
de before the presence of God, a lokynge to-
ward Sodome & Gomorra ſ toward all the
löde of that cötre he loked: and beholde, the
smoke of the contrary a roſe as the smoke of a
ſornace. And it happened that whé God de-
ſtroyed the cytes of that regio, he thought
upon Abzaham, ſ lent Lot + out from the
myddes of the ouerthowége, whé he ouer-
threwe the cytes where Lot dwelled.

And Lot departed out of soar dwelled in
the noitayns with his u. doughters, ſo he
feared to tary in soar, but dwelled in a caw,
he & his. u. doughters. And the elder layde
unto the ponger: oure fatyer is olde, and
there is not a mā in the erth to come in vn-
to vs after the maner of all the world. Co-
me, we wil make oure father dronkē with
wyne, & lye with hym, & we maye faue ſede
of oure father. And so they made their fa-
ther dronkē with wyne that might. And the
elder daughter wēt & laye with her father.
And he perceaued it not, neither when the
laye doune, neither when the role vp.

G

And on the morowe it happened that the
elder laye vnto the yonger: beholde, pe-
ſernight laye I with my father. Let vs ma-
ke him dronke with wyne this night alſo, &
go thou & lye with him, that we maye rayle
up ſeed of oure father. And they made their
father dronke with wyne that nyght alſo.
And the yonger aroſe & laye with him. And
he perceaued it not: neither when the laye do-
we, neither when the role vp. Thus were
both the doughters of Lot with chylde by
their father. And the elder bare a londe, and
called his name Moab. The fame is the fa-
ther of the Moabytes vnto thys dave. And
the yonger bare a londe alſo and called his
name Ben Ammi. The fame is the father
of the children of Ammon vnto thys dave.

C The. xx. Chapter.

Abzaham went as atraunger in to the lande of Gerar. The hynge of Gerar takerth alwaſe his wyſe.

Ad Abzahā departed thence tow-
arde the south contre, and dwelled
betwene Cades & Sur, and fore-
orned in Gerar. And Abzahā lay-

de of Sara hys wyſe: he is my * lyſter.
And Abimelech kynge of Gerar ſent ſ fett
Sara awaye.

*Gene. xii. c.
and, xcvii. b.

But God came to Abimelech in a dzea-
me in the nyght and layde to him: Se, thou
halt dye for the womans ſake whych thou
halt taken awaye, for she is a mans wyſe.
But Abimelech had not yet come npe her, ſ
he layde: Loode wylt thon ſlep eygheſ wes
people: layde not he vnto me, he is my ſi-
ſter: yee, ſ layd not the herself: he is my ho-
ther: wyth a pure herte and innocent hādes
haue I done thys. And God layd vnto him
by a dzeame. I wot it well that thou dydeſt
it in the purenelle of thy herte. I kepte the
alſo that thou ſuldeſt not ſpne agaynſt
me, ſ therfore ſuſſred I the not to touch her.
Nowtherfore deliver the mā his wyſe agey
ne, for he is a pphete. And he thal pnye ſo
the that thou mayſt lyue. But and yf thou
deliver her not agayn, be ſure that thou halt
dye the deth, both thou, & all that thou hait.

Therfore Abimelech ryſinge vp bety-
mes in the mornynge called al his ſeruātes,
& toſe all theſe layinges in their eares, and
the men were toſe a ſrayde. And Abimelech
called Abzahā & layde vnto him: What hait
thou done vnto vs what haue I offended
the that thou hait brought on me & on my
kyngdome so great a ſinne: thou hait done
dedes vnto me that ought not to be done.
And Abimelech layde vnto Abzahā: What
ſawest thou that thou hait done this thige?

Abzaham anſwered. For I layde: ſurely
the feare of God is not in this place, ſ they
ſhal ſlep me for my wyſes ſake: yet in very
dede the ys my lyſter, for he is the doughter
of my father: though he be not the dought-
ter of my mother: and he became my wyſe.
And after, God caused me to wande out of
my fathers house, I layde vnto her: Thys
kyndneſſe hait thou: theme vnto me in all
places where we come, that thou laye of me,
he is my brother.

Than toke Abimelech ſhepe and oxen,
men ſeruauntes & wemenſeruauntes & ga-
ue them vnto Abzaham, and deſucreuſed him
Sara his wyſe agayne. And Abimelech ſay-
de: beholde, my lande lyeth before the, dwell
where it pleafeth the beſt. But vnto Sara
he layd: Se, I haue genē thy brother a thou
ſande pees of lyluer, beholde, it chall be a
conerynge of thyne eyes vnto all that are
with the + thus with all was the reſpouſed.

And to Abzaham pnyed vnto God, and
God healed Abimelech and his wyſe and his
maydens, ſ they bare chylde. For the Loz-
de had closed to, all the matryces of the hou-
ſe of Abimelech: because of Abzahās wife.

Than spake Israhah unto Abrahah his father and sayde: My father: And he anwesred: here am I my sonne. He sayde: Se here is fyre and wodd, but where is the thepe for? sacrifyce: Abrahã answered: my sonne, God wþil þoude him a thepe for? sacrifyce. And so they wente both together.

And whê they came onto the place which God had shewed hym, Abraham made an aulter there, & díesled the wodd, and downde Israhah his one, & layde him on the aulter, aboue upon the wodd. And Abraham strectchinge forth his hande, toke the knyfe to haue kylled hys sonne. And the angell of the Lorde called onto him from heaué, sayinge: Abraham Abraham: And he sayde: here am I. And he sayde: laye not thy hande vp the chylde, nether do any thynig at all unto him, for now I knowe that thou fearest God, and haſt for my lake not ſpared thynæ only ſone And Abrahã lyſtinge vp hys eyes, loſed aboute: and beholde, there was a ram caught by the horns in a thynkette. And he went toke the ram and offred hym vp for a ſacryſce in the ſteade of his ſonne. And Abraham called the name of the place, the Lorde wyll see. As it is ſayde thys dave: in the mounte wyll the Lorde be ſene.

And the Angell of the Lorde cryed vn-to Abraham from heauen the ſeconde tyme, and ſapd +: by my ſelke haue I swoone (sayth the Lorde) becaule thou haſt done this thynge and haſt not ſpared thy only ſonne: that in bleſſinge I wyll bleſſe the, & in multipliſe I wil multiplie thy ſeed as the ſtarres of heaué & as the lande which is vpó the ſee lyde. And thy ſeed shall posſeſſe the gate of his enympes. + And in thy ſeed shall all the na-cions of the erth be bleſſed, becaule thou haſt herde my voyce. So turned Abrahã agayne unto hys yonge men, & they role vp and went to gether to Beer Seba. And Abraham dwelt at Beer Seba. And it chaunſed after theſe thyngeſ, that one tolde Abrahã sayinge: Beholde, Wilcha, the hath alſo borne chyldren unto thy brother Nacho: Hys hys eldeſt ſonne, & Bus his brother, and Ke-muell the father of th. Spriãs, & celed, & Ha-to, & Dyldas, & Jedlaph, & Bethuel. And the thuel begat Rebecca. Theſe vii dyd Ail-ha bere to Nacho: Abrahãs brother. And

hys concubrne called Rhuma the bare alſo Tehah, & Saham, Thaas & Maacha.

The. xxiii. Chapter.

C. Saracheth is buried in the felde that Abraham bought of Ephron the Bethite.

Ara was an hundred & xxvii. yce olde (so lóge lyced the) & Sara dyed in kyrat Arba. The sa-me is Hebron in the lande of Canaã. And Abrahã came to mor-ne Sara, & to wepe for her. And Abrahã ito-de vpfró the ligh of his coorſe, and talked with the ſones of Heth saying: I am a kraú-ger & a fornyer amonge you, gene me a pot-ſession to burye in wyth you, þ I map burp my coarse out of my ſyght. And the chylde of Heth answered Abrahã, saying unto him: Heare us Lorde, thou art a prynce of God amóge vs. In the cheſſet of oure ſepulchres burp thy dead: One of vs alſo thal for byd the his ſepulchre, but thou mayſt burp thy dead therin: Abrahã itode vp & bowed him ſelſe before the people of the lâde the chyld: & of Heth. And he comonſd with the ſayinge: If it be you re mynde that I thal burp my dead out of my ſyght, heare me, & spcke for me to Ephron the ſonne of zoar: þ he maye gyue me the dubbyle caue which he ha, þ is in the ende of hys ſelde: but for as moche monep, as it is worth thal he ge me it me in the preſence of you, for a posſible to burpe in. For Ephron dwelled amonge the chyl-dren of Heth.

And Ephzô the Hethite answered Abra-hã in the audyence of the chyldren of Heth: & of all that went in at the gates of hys cyce, sayinge: Not my lorde, heare me: The fel-de gene J the, and the caue þ therin is gene J the alſo: & euen in the preſence of the ſonnes of my people gene J it the, bury thy dead. And Abraham bowed hym ſelſe before the people of the lande, & spake unto Ephron in the audyce of the people of the còtre saying: I paye the heare me þt it please the: I wyll gene ſyluer for the ſelde, take it & I wil bury my deed there. Ephron answered Abraham saying unto hym: By lorde, harken unto me. The lâde is worth iii. hundred ſples of ſyluer: what is þ betwyſt the and me? bury therfore thy deed. And Abraham harkened unto Ephron & weyed him the ſyluer which he had ſayde, in the audyce of the ſonnes of Heth. Euen iii. hundred ſyluer ſicles of cur-rat money amóge marchaütes. And the fel-de of Ephron with the dubbyle caue which was before Hamre: euen the ſelde & the caue þ was therin and all the tres þ were in the ſelde, & that were in all the borders rounde about, was made ſure unto Abraham for a poſſeſſó, in the ligh of the chyldre of Heth, before all that wët in at the gates of the cyte. After this dyd Abrahã burye Sara hys wife

ſed my maſter out of meaſure, that he is be-
come greate, and hath genen hym ſepe,
and oren, ſyluer and golde, menſeruaunte,

And * Sara my maſters wyfe bare hym a

hath he genen all that he hath. And my ma-
ſter made me ſwere laying: thou ſhalt not ta-
ke a wyſe to my ſonne amonge the daugh-
ters of Ý Cananyptes in whole läde I dwell.
But thou ſhalt go vnto my ſathers houſe
and to my kynred, and take a wyſe vnto my
ſonne. And I layde vnto my maſter: per-
aduenture the wyſe wyll not folowe me.
And he anſwered me: The Loſde, before

ſhalt be gilſtleſſe of my curſe.

And so I came this daye vnto the well
and layde: D Loſde, the God of my maſter
Abzaham, yf it be so now that thou makeſt

And it happened when Laban hearde tell

had. ii. daughters, the eldest called Lea & the
yongest Rahel. Lea was tender eyed, but
Rahel was bewotfull & well fauozed. And
Jacob loued Rahel, and layde: I wyl lyue

And Jacob ferved * viij. peres for Rahel
and they semed vnto him but a fewe dayes,
for the loue he had to her. And Jacob layde
unto Laba: gene me my wyfe, that I maye
lye with hir. Koz my dayes are fulfilled.

When the Loode fawe that Lea was de-

Than answered Rahel, and Lea, & layde
vnto hym: haue we a porcion & inheritaun-
ce in our fathers house: Doth not he count
vs euen as kraigers, fo: he hath solde vs,
and hath euen eaten vp oure monye. .But
all the riches which God hath taken frô ou-
re father, that is oures & oure chyldres. And
now what koeuer God hath layde vnto the,
that do. Than Jacob rose vp, & set his sones
and wypes vp upon camels, & caried away
all his flockes & all his substance whych he
had procured, his riches & posseffions which
he had gottê in Melopotamia, fo: to go to
Isahac his father vnto the lande of Canaã.
But Laban was gone to * there his thepe,
& Rahel had kolè hyr fathers ymages. And
Jacob stale awaye the hert of Laban the
Syrïe, in that he tolde him not that he fled.
So fled he & all that he had, and made him
selse redp, & palled ouer the ryuer, & set hys
face streyght toward the mounte Gilead.

Upô the thylde day after, was it told La
bã that Jacob fled. Thá he toke his brethzê
with him and followed after him. vii. dayes

ilead. And God came to Laban the Syran
ina drieame by night, & layd vnto him: take
hede, that thou speake not to Jacob ought
sauе good. And Labã ouer toke Jacob: and
Jacob had pitched hys tente in the mounte.
And Laban with hys brethzê pitched their
tente also vpon the mounte Gilead. And La-
bã layde: to Jacob: Why haft thou thys do-
ne to steale awaye my hert, and carve
awaye my daughters as though they had
bene taken capryue with the swerde. Wher-
fore wêreft thou awaye secretly unknowne
to me, & didest not tell me, that I mpygt ha-
ue brought the on the waye wyth myrth,
syngyng, tymrel & harpe, and haft not luk-
fred me to kille my chyldre and my daugh-
ters: Thou walt * a fole now to do it, fo:
I am able to do you eypull. But the God of
of your father spake vnto me yefterdaye,
saying: take hede that thou speake not to
Jacob ought saue good. And now though
thou wentest thy waye, because thou lon-
geft after thy fathers house, yet wherfore
haft thou stolen my goddes.

*Reg. xiii. c.*

E

Jacob answered and layde to Labã: be-
caule I was atrayed, & thought that thou
woldest haue taken awaye thy doughters
frô me. But * where as thou layest thett to my charge
with whom koeuer thou fyndest thy god-
des, let hym dye here before oure brethzen.
Seke that thynæ is by me, & take it to the.
But Jacob wyft not that Rahel had stolen
the. Than went Laban in to Jacobs tête,

and into Leas tête, & in to the. ii. maydês tê-
tes: but founde them not. Than went he out
of Leas tente, and entred in to Rahels tête.
And Rahel had taken the ymages & put the
in the camels strawe, & late doune vpôthe.
And Laban serched all the tente: but founde
them not. Than layde the to hyz father: my
lorde, be not angry ? I cã not rype vp before
the, for û cultome of womê is come upô me.
So searched he but foude not thole ydols.

And Jacob was wooth, and chode with
Labã. Jacob allo answered & layde to hym:
what haue I trefpaced oz what haue I offe
ded, þ thou folowedest so after me: Thou
haft searched al my staffe, & what haft thou
founde of all thy household staffe: put it here
before thy brethzê & myne þ they maye ind-
ge betwixte vs both. Beholde: Thys. xx.
yere haue I bene wyth the, thy thepe & thy
goates haue not bene baren, & the râmes of
thy flocke haue I not eaten. What koeuer
was tozne of beaßles I brought it not vnto
the, but made it good my selfe: of my hande
dydelst thou requyze it, even as it that was
stollen by dave or npght. By dave the hete
columed me, and the krost by night, and my
slepe departed fro myne eyes.

F

Thus haue I bene. xx. yere in thy house,
& serued the * xiii. yeres fo: thy. ii. dough-
ters, &. vi. yere fo: thy thepe, and thou haft
changed my rewarde. x. tymes. And except
the God of my father, þ God of Abzahã, &

lurely thou haddest sent me awaye now all

and the laboure of my handles: and rebu-
ked the yefter dave.

*Gene. xxiij. c.*

Laban answered and layde vnto Jacob:
these daughters are my daughters, & the-
le chyldren are my chyldren, & these thepe
are my thepe, and all that thou leist, is my-

And I had Pharaos cuppe in my hande,
and toke of the grapes and wonge them in
to Pharaos cuppe, and delyuered Pharaos
cuppe in to his häde. And Joseph layde vn-
to hym: this is the interpretation of it. The
thee braunches at thee dayes: for wythin
thee dayes shall Pharao lykt vp thynne hea-
de, and restore the unto thynne office agay-
ne, and thou shall delyuer Pharaos cuppe
in to hys hande, after the old maner wherin
thou walt wont to gene hym drypke. But
if thou thynke on me with the, when thou
art in good cales, the we mercye (I pray the)
unto me. And make mencion of me to Pha-
rao, and drypge me out of thys house: for I
was stollen out of the land of the hebrues,
and here also haue I done nothing at all,
wherefore they sulde haue put me in to this
dögeon. When the chefe baker saue that the
interpretation was good, he layde unto Jo-
seph: me thought also in my dceame, that I
had. iii. wpter balkettes on my heade. And
in the uppermost balket there was of all
maner bakemeates for Pharao. And þ byz-
des did eate the out of the balket that was
upon my head.

D

And Joseph answered and layde: this is
the interpretation therof. The three basket-
tes are the dayes, for thys daye three dayes
shall Pharao take thy heade from the, and
shall hage the on a tree, and the byzdes shall
eate thy flesh from of the.

And it came to pass þ thyrde dape which
was Pharaos * byzth dape, that he made a
feast unto all his feruauntes. And he lypsted
up the head of the chefe buttelar and of the
chefe baker amonge hys feruauntes. And re-
stozed the chefe buttelar unto his buttelar-
thippe agayne: which also reched the cuppe
in to Pharaos hande, but he hanged the che-
fe baker: even as Joseph had interpretated
unto them. Nephter dyd the chefe buttelar
remembe Josph, but forgat him.

And it foirtuned after two peres, þ
Pharao dreamed, and beholde, he
stode by a ryuers lyde, and there ca-

me out of the ryuer seuen goodly kyne and
fatt fleethed, and fedd in a medowe, and. vii.
other kyne came vp after the out of the ry-
uer, euell fauozed and leane fleethed, and stode
by the other kyne upon the byynke of the ry-
uer. And the euill fauozed & leane fleethed
kyne did eate vp the seue welfauozed & tatt
kyne: and Pharao awoke. And he lefte
agayne, and dreamed the second tyne. And
beholde, seuen eares of cozne grewe vp one
stale, räcke and goodly. And agayne, seue
thyrne eares blaited with the east wynde,
sprange vp after them: and the seuen thynne
eares deuozed the seuen rancke and full
eares. And Pharao awaked: and se, it was
a dceame. And whé the moznynge came, his
spzete was troubled. And he sent and called
for all the sothelayers of Egypte, & all the
wyse men therof, and Pharao told the hys
dceame: but there was none of them þ coul-
de interpretate it unto Pharao. Than spä-
ke the chefe buttelar unto Pharao saying:
I do remembre my fawtes thys dape. Pha-
rao beinge angrie with hys feruauntes, put
in warde in þ chefe Stewardes house both
me & the chefe baker. And we dreamed both
of vs in one nyght, and eche mânes dceame
of a londrye interpretacion.

And there was wyth vs a yonge man,
an Hebrue borne, feruaunte unto the chefe
Stewarde. To whom when we told them,
he declared oure dceames to vs acordynge
to ether of oure dceames. And as he decla-
red the unto vs, euë so it came to pass. For
he restozed me to myne office agayne, & han-
ged hym.

Pharao sent therfore and called Joseph.
And they brought him hafely out of *pre-
son. And he chaued hym selft and chaun-
ged hys rapment, and came in to Pharao.
And Pharao layde unto Joseph: I haue
fene a dceame, and no man can interpretate
it, & I haue herde lape of the, that as soone
as thou hearest a dceame, thou canst inter-
pretate it. Joseph answered Pharao, sayin-
ge: Not I, but God shall gene Pharao an
answere of peace. And Pharao layde un-
to Joseph: in my dceame me thought I ko-
de by a ryuers lyde, & there came out of the
ryuer seuen fatt fleethed, and well fauozed
kyne, and fedd in the medowe. And then se-
uen other kyne came vp after them, pooze
and very euell fauozed and leane fleethed:
such as I never saue in all þ läde of Egyp-

And the sones of Israel came to bye coz-

derth in the lande of Canaan. And Joseph
was goerner in the lande, and solde to all

When Joseph fawe his zhethen, he knewe

and Ipike roughly vnto the, layige: Whéce

Canaa, to bye dytayle. And Joseph knewe
his zhethen, but they knewe not him.

And Joseph remembred his *drames which
he dreamed of them, and sayd vnto them: ye

ke is your compyng. And they sayde vnto
him: nap my lorde: but to bye dytayle thy
seruauites are come. We are all one más son-
nes, and meane truly, and thy seruauites are
no spies. And he layd vnto the agayne, nay,
but euen to le where the lande is weake, is

hauntes are. xii. zhethen, the sonnes of one
man in ylade of Canaan. And beholde, the
yongeſt is thys dave with oure father, and
one, no más woteth where he is. And Joseph
layd vnto the, y is it that I spake vnto you,
layinge: ye are spies. Here by ye shall be pro-
ned. By the lyfe of Pharao, ye shall not goo
hence, excepte your yongeſt brother come
thylher. Sende out one of you which mape
kett your brother, e pe halbe kepte in pre-
ſone, that your words mape be proued,
whether there be any trueth in you: or els by

put them in warde thez daves.

dave: This doo and lyue, for I keare God.
If ye meane no hurte, let one of youre zh-
ethen be bounde in the house of youre pre-

rely lynned agaynſt oure brother, in that
we fawe the anguylh of hys ſoull when he

therfore is thys troubyll come vpon vs.

And Ruben anſwered them layinge: lay-
de I not vnto you that ye thulde not * syn-

And see, hys bloude is requyred. They
were not aware that Joseph vnderſtode

pieter. And he turned from them & wepte *
and turned to them agayne, and comened
with them, e toke out Symeon from amo-
ge them, and downde him before their eyes,
and Joseph còmaunded to ſyll their ſacke
wyth cozne, and to put euery mans money
in hys ſacke, and to geue them vitayle to
ſpende by the waye. And thus dyd he vn-

cozne and departed thence. And as one of
them opened his ſacke, for to geue his alle
prouender in the Inne, he ſpied his money:
for it was in hys ſacks mouth. And he lay-
de vnto hys zhethen: my money is reſto-
red me agayne: for lo, it is euen in my ſac-
ke. And their harte kayled them, and they
were altonyed, and layde one to another:
why hath God dealt thus wyth vs: And
they came vnto Jacob their father vnto the
land of Canaan, and tolde him all that had
happened them, layinge: The man, even the
lorde of the lande Ipike roughly to vs, and

The first Chapter.

The chyldren of Jacob are nombed. The
new Pharao oppreeth them. The acre of the
godly mydwiues.

Heze are y names of the * chil-
dren of Israel, whych came to
Egypte with Jacob, every ma-
came with his houyhcd: Ru-
ben, Simeo, Levi, and Juda,
Jlachar zabulon, and Benia-

min, Dan, Neptali, Gad and Afer. All the-
le soules that came out of the loynes of Ja-
cob were. Ixr. But Joseph was in Egypte
allredie. And Joseph dyed and all his bze-
thez and all that generacion, and the * chil-
dren of Israel grewe, encrealed, multiplied
and waxed exceeding myghtie: and the la-
de was full of them.

But there role vp a new kynge in Egipte
which knewe not Joseph. And he sayde vn-
tohis kol: e beholde, the people of the childre
of Israel are greater and mightier thä we.
Come on, let vs plaue wifely with them, left
they multiply, a left it happen, that (if the-
re chaunce ayp warre) they iopne the selues
unto oure enimitie and fighte ageynst vs, e
so gete them out of the lande.

Therkoze dyd they sette taskymasters
ouer them, to kepe them vnder wyth bur-
thens. And they byte unto Pharao treaflu-
re cities: Phitö and Rameles. But the mo-
re they vered them, the moare they multi-
plied and grewe, so that they abhorred the
children of Israel. And the Egyptians hel-
de the children of Israel in bódage without
mercye. Therkoze was their lyfe bitter vnto
the in that cruell bondage, in claye & bricke,
& all maner of wo:ke in the feldes. Ko: all
their seruyce which they did vnto the, was
full of tyzannye.

And the kynge of Egipte sayde vnto the
mydwiues of the Ehruef women, of which
the ones name was Sephora and the other
Phua: when ye do the office of a mydwife
to the women of the Ehrues and fe in the
D

vith tyme that it is a boye, ye shal kyll it.
But yf it be a daughter, it shall yue. Not w

Itoding the mydwiues feared God and dyd
not as the kynge of Egypte commaunded
them: but laued the men children.

And the kynge of Egypte called for the
mydwiues and layd vnto them: why haue
ye delt on this maner, and haue laued the
menchylden? And the mydwiues anfwe-
red Pharao, that the Ehrues wemé are not
as the wemé of Egypte: for they are sturdie
women, and are delyuered yer the midwy-
ues come at them. And God therkoze delt
well wyth the midwyues. And the people
multiplied and waxed very mightie. And
it foztuned becaufe the mydwiues feared
God, he made them houſes.

And Pharao charged all hys people,
saying: All the menchylden that are borne,
calf into the ryuer, and laue the maydechil-
dren alyue.

T Moles is borne and calf into the flagges. He is
taken vp of Pharaos daughter. He hylled the Epi-
tian. He flyeth and marþeth a wyke. The Iraelytes
crep vnto the Loude.

ſifter ſtode a ferre of, to wete what wold co-

doune * to waehe herſelke in the ryuer, and

And whé the had opened it, the lawe it was
a childe: and behold, the bave wepte. And the

And Moles wét out of the citie frô Pha-

and hardened hys herte: he and his fernaü-
tes. And the hert of Pharao was harden'd,
neither wolde he let the chyldren of Israel

And the Lorde layd vnto Moles:
goo in vnto Pharao: Foz * I
haue hardened hys herte ÿ þ' hert
of his fernauntes, that I myght
put these my lygnes amongest
them, ÿ the thou tell in the audience of thy
sone, ÿ of thy lones sone, what things Iha-
ue done in Egypte, ÿ the miracles which I
haue done amoge the: þ' ye may know how
that I am the Lorde. And so Moles ÿ Aarô

came vnto Pharao, and layde vnto hym:
Thus layth the Lorde God of y' Hebrews:
how long shall it be oz thou wylt submeyt
thy selfe vnto me: * Let my people goo that
they maye serue me. D. elys. ☞ (yf thou do rehuit)
and wilt not let my people goo: beholde, to
mo;ow will I brynge grechoppers into thy
coakkes, and theyp shall couer the face of the
erth that it cannot be lene, ÿ theyp shall eate
the relyde we which remapneth vnto you ÿ
is escaped from the hayle: and theyp shall ca-
te every grene tree that beareth you krute
in the felde, and theyp shall fill thy houfles, ÿ
all thy fernauntes houfles, and the houfles
of all the Egyptians after socha maner, as
nether thy ÿathers no; thy fathers fathers
haue lene, sence the tyme they were upon
the erth vnto this dape. And he turned hym
selfe aboute, and went out from Pharao.

And Pharaos fernaütes layd vnto hym:
How lóge shall he be a laüder vnto vs: Let
the men goo, that they maye serue the Lor-
de their God: knoweft thou not yet that
Egypt is destroyed! And Moles and Aarô
were broughte agayne vnto Pharao, and
he layde vnto the: Goo and serue the Lord
youre God. Who are they that shall go: And
Moles answered: we will go wyth oure yô-
ge ÿ with oure olde: ye and with oure lones
and with oure daughters, ÿ with oure thepe
and wô oure oren must we go: It oz we must
holde a feast vnto the Lord.

And he layde vnto them: let it be so. The
Lorde be with you. When I lett you goo, ÿ
youre childre ÿ also, take heede, for ye haue to
me mytschefe in hande. Hay not so: but goo
they that are men and serue the Lorde, for
that was youre deyze. And theyp thust the
out of Pharaos preference.

And the Lord layd vnto Moles: Stretch
out thyne hâde ouer the lâde of Egypte for
grechoppers, þ they maye come apó the lâde
of Egypt, and eate all the herbes of þ' lâde,
and all that the hayle left behynde. And Mo-
les stretched forth his rodde ouer the lâde of
Egypte, ÿ the Lorde brought an eaft wyne-
de upon the lande, all that dape and all that
nyghte. And in the mornynge the eaft wyne
by broughte the grechoppers, and the
grechoppers went vp ouer all the lande of
Egypte, and remapned in all quarters of
Egypte verye grenoullly: Before the were
there no soch grechoppers, neither after the
shall be: for they couered all the face of the
erth, so that the lande was darke. And theyp
did eate all the herbes of the lande, and all
the frutes of the trees and whatsoeuer the
hayle had lefte: there was no grene thynge
lefte in the trees and herbes of the felde tho-
row all the lande of Egypte.

Therfore Pharaos called for Moles ÿ Aa-

And he called vnto Moſes and Aarón

And the people toke their dowgh before

that is bought for money (after that þaſt
circumcysed him) chal eate therof. A krauger
& a hperd ſeruaunte shall not eate therof.
In one houſe chall it be eate. Thou chalt ca

If a Krauger also dwell amöge you, & will

in þ läde. If no uncircumcysed persone chall
eate therof. One maner of lawe chalbe unto
him that is & borne in the läde, & into the
Krauger that dwelleth amöge you. And all

It came to palle, that when Pharaos had
let the people go, God carried them not tho-
row the waye and lande of the Philiftynes,
which was the moze npe waye. But God
ſayde: left the people happely repent when
they ſe warre, & ſo turne agayne to Egypſt:
But God led the people aboute thorow the
waye of þ wyldernesse of þ red ſee. And the
chyldren of Israel wët up harnessed out of

And Moſes layde vnto the people * ſea-
re ye not, stode styll, æ beholde how the Lo-
de that laue you this daye: For ye that haue
keneth the Egyćiáns this daye, shall be the no-
more for euer. The Loſde shall fyghte for

And the Loſde layde vnto Moſes, wher-

dren of Israel that they goo for warde. But
lykte þ up thy rodd, æ stretch out thy hand
ouer the fee, æ deuide it a ſondre, æ let the chil-
dren of Israel goo on drye grounde thowow

noure vpó Pharoak vpo all his hoſſ, and
upon hys charettes vpon hys hoſſemen.
And the Egyćiáns shall knowe that I am
the Lord whan I haue gotten me honoure
upon Pharoao, upon his charettes and vpó
his hoſſemen.

And the angell of God which went before
the hoſte of Israel, remoued, æ beganne to
go behinde them. And the clowde pyller that
was before the face of them, beganne to ko-
de behinde them, and came betwene the ho-
ſte of the Egyćiáns æ the hoſte of Israel. It
waketh also a darke clowde, æ gaue lyghte

came not at the other.

And Moſes stretched forth his hande
ouer the fee, and the Loſde carped awaye þ
fee by a very stronge cast wynde all that
nyghte, and made the fee drye lande, and the
waters were deuypded. And the chyldren of
Israel went into the myddest of the fee vpó

walle vnto them, on their ryght háde æ on
their lefte háde. And þ Egyćiáns followed æ
wet in after them to the myddest of the fee,
euen all Pharoas hoſſes, his charettes and

watch, the Loſde * loked vnto the hoſte of
the Egyćians out of the fiery and clowdwy

ćians toke of hys charett wheles and ca-
ried the away violětly. So that the Egy-
ćiáns layde: Let vs fle from the face of Ira-

ſes: stretch out thy ne háde ouer the fee, that

two ſonnes and his wike vnto Moles vnto
the wilderneſte: where he alde by þ mount
of God. And he layde vnto Moles: I thy
father in lawe Jethro am come to the, + thy
wyke alſo and hyr two ſones with her. And
Moles wét out to mete his father in lawe
and dyd obeſſaunce and kylled hym, and
achea asked other of his health, ſ they ca-
me in to the tent: And Moles told his fa-
ther in lawe all that the LoRD had done vnto
Pharaio and to the Egiptiās for Israel
ſake, and all the trauayle that had happe-
ned them by the waye, and how the LoRD
delyuered them. And Jethro reopſed ouer
all the goodneſte which the LoRD had done
to Israel, + because he had delyuered them
out of the hande of the Egiptians. And Je-
thro layde: bleſſed be the Lo.de which hath
delyuered you out of the hand of the Egi-
tians and out of the háde of Pharaio, which
hath alſo delyuered his people from the cap-
tiute of the Egiptians. Now I knowe þ
the LoRD is greater then all goddes, for
+ in the thige wherby they dealt cruell
with them, are they them ſelues perſiued.
And Jethro Moles father in lawe offred
burnt of kryngs and ſacryſices vnto God.
And Aarō and all the elders of Israel
cam to eate hred wyth Moles father in
law befoze God.

And it chauced on the morow, that Mo-
les latt to udege the people, and the people
ſkode aboute Moles from mognypnge vnto
euen. And wha Moles father in lawe lawe
all that he dyd vnto the people, he layde:
what is this that thou doest vnto the peo-
ple: why þytteſt thou thy ſel alone, and all
the people ſkonde aboute the from mognyn-
ge vnto euen: And Moles layde vnto hys
father in lawe: because the people come vnto
me to leke councell of God. When they
haue a matter, they come vnto me, and I
udge betwene euery man + his neyghbou-
re, and thewe them the ordinaüces of God
and hys lawes.

And Moles father inlawe layde vnto
him: it is not well þ thou doest. Thou both
weryeſt thy ſelke, and this people that is
with the: for this thinge is of moze weight,
then * thou art able to perſourme thy ſelke
alone. Heare now therfore the my voyce, and I
will geue the councell, and God thalbe with
the. Be thou vnto the people to Godward,
that thou mapeſt brynge the causes vnto
God, and thou chalt teach them ordinaun-
ces and lawes, and thewe them the waye
wherein they muſt walke, + the work that
they muſt doo. Mozouer thou chalt ſele out
amonge all the people, men of actiunte, and
such as keare God: true men, hatinge coue-
touines: and make them heedes ouer the

easier for thy selfe, and they chal bere with
the. If thou chalt do thys thing, (and God
charge the w all ) thou chalt be able to en-
dure, and yet the people chall come to their

And so Moles obeyed the voyce of hys
father in lawe, ſdyd all that he had layde,
and chose actyue men out of all Israel and
made them as heedes ouer the people: na-
mely, captaynes ouer thousandes, ouer hü-
dreds, ouer fyktie & ouer ten. And they ind-
ged the people at all fealons, but broughte
the harde causes vnto Moſes: ſindged all
fmall maters them ſelues. And Moſes let
hys father in lawe departe, and he went in
to his awne lande.

And the thyrde dape in the mopyng there
was thunder, and lightenpyng, and a thicke
clowde upon the mounte, and the voyce of

people that was in the hotte was affraped.
And Moſes brought the people out of the

And the Loſde layde vnto Moſes: go

Ad when the people lawe, that it
was longe or Moles came dou-
ne out of the mo'tayne, they ga-
thered them selfes together vn-
to Aar'on and layde vnto hym:
+ Up, make vs goddes, to goo before vs: for
of thys Moles (the fellew that brought vs
out of the lande of Egypt ) we wotte not
what is become.

And Aar'on layde vnto them: * pluche
of the golden ear'nyges, whych are in the ea-
tes of you're wpyes, you're tonnes and of
you're daughters: and brynge them vnto
me. And all the people plucked of the gol-
den ear'nyges which they had in their eares,
and broughte the vnto Aar'on. And he * re-
ceau'd them of their hands, and fayponed
it with a grauer, and made of it a calfe of
molten metall. And they layde: * These be
thy goddes, D Israel, whiche brought the
out of the lande of Egypt.

And whé Aarò lawe þ, he made an alta-
re beforeit: And Aarò cryed: layige: to mo-
row is the holy dave of the Lor'd. And they
rose vp in the mo'nynge, and offred burnt-
offrynges, and brought peaceoffrynges al-
fo. * And the people fatt them doune to ca-
te and drynke, þ rose vp agayne to playe.

And X the Lor'd layde vnto Moles: *
goo, get the doune. Thy people whych thou
broughtest out of the lande of Egypt, ha-
ue marred all, they are turned at once out of
þ waye, whiche I còmaúd the: * for they
haue made them a calfe of molten metall, Æ
haue wor'thipped it, and haue offred ther'to,
layig: These be thy goddes, o Israel, which
hath brought the out of the lande of Egypt
And the Lord layde vnto Moles: * I ha-
ue lene his people, and beholde: it is a styff

necked people, and now suffre me that my
wath maye ware hote agaynst them, and
confume them: and I wyll make of the a
myghtie people.

And Moles besought the Lor'd his
God, and layde: D Lor'd, why doth thy
wath ware hote agaynst thy people which
thou hault brought out of the lâde of Egyp-
te with great power and with a myghtie
hande: * wherfore chuld the Egyp'tias lpe-
ke, and laye: For a mylchefe dyd he brynge
them out: eu'en for to flee them in the moun-
taynes, and to consume them frò þ face of
the erth. Turne from thy fearse wath, and
+ turne from thys euell (deuyl ed) agaynst
thy people. Remembre Ab'raham, Ijahac
and Israel thy seruauantes, to whom thou
fwarest by thyne owne selfe, and laydeft vn
to them: * I wyll multiplye you're feed as
the starres of heauen, Æ all this lande that I
haue spokè of, wyll I geue vnto you're feed:
and they shall enheret it for ever. And the
Lor'd refrayned him selfe frò that euell, H
which he layde he wolde do vnto his people.

And Moles turned hys backe, and went
doune from the hyl, and þ * two tables of
wptnelle were in hys hand: and the same
tables were written on both the leaues, and
were the worke of God, and the wptynge
was the wptynge of God, grauen in the
tables. And when Josua herde the noyle of
the people as they showt, he layde vnto
Moles: there is a noyle of warre in the ho-
fe. And he answered: it is not the crye of the
that haue the maltrye, nor of them that ha-
ue the wor'le: but I doo heare the noyes of
them that lynge.

And it foztuned, as soone as he came vne
unto the holse, he lawe the calfe and the
dauntynge, and Moles wath wared hote,
and he cast the tables out of hys hande, and
brake them beneth the hyl. * And he to-
ke the calfe whych they had made, and bur-
ned it in the fyze, and itampt it vnto pow-
der, and krawed it in the water, and made
the chylde of Israel drynke of it. And Mo-
les layde vnto Aar'on: what dyd thys peo-
ple vnto the, that thou hault brought so great
a lynne vpon them?

And Aar'on answered: let not the wath
of my Lord ware fearle, thou knowest the
people that they are eu'en lett on mylchefe:
For they layde vnto me: make vs goddes
to go before vs, for we wote not what is be
come of Moles the fellew that brought vs
out of the land of Egypt. And I layde vnto
them: * let them that haue golde pluck it
of, and brynge it me: and I cast it into the

The thynge that Bezaleel and Ahaliab made.

And Bezaleel wought, and Aholiab and all wyle harted men, to whom the Loode gaue wypdome and understandynge, to knowe how to worke all maner worke for the seruice of the Sanctuary, and all that the Loode had commaunded. And Moles called Bezaleel, Aholiab and all the wyle herted men for sothe as the Loode had genen wypdome unto, and as many as their hartes coraged to come unto that worke to worke it. And they receaued of Moles all the preſent, whych the chyldren of Israel had brought for the worke of the seruice of the Sanctuary, to make it. And beſyde that, they brought giltes unto it every daye in the mornying.

And all the wyle men that wought all the holpe worke, came every man from his worke whych they made, and spake unto Moles, layinge: the people brynge to moch and more then ynough for the seruice and worke which the Lorde hath commaunded to be made. And then Moles gaue a comaundment, and they cauſed it to be proclaymed thorow out of holſe laying: ſe that neither man nor wooman papeare any moare worke for the preſent of the Sanctuary: and so the people were forbidden to brynge: for the ſtuffe they had, was ſuſſyctiet for all the worke, to make it, and to moch.

* All the wyle harted men therfore, and they that woughte for the habytacyon, made. r. curtaynes of white twyned fylke, pelow ſylk, purple and scarlet . with pictures of broderd worke made he them. The lègth of one curtayne was. rr. viii. cubytes, and the bredth. iii. and the curtaynes were all of one ſlyle. And he coupled ſyue curtaayns by them ſelues, and other ſyue by the ſelues. And he made lowppes of yellow filke alonge by the edge of one curtayne, euen in the ſeluege of the couplynge courtayne: And lykewyſe he made on the ſyde of the couplynge curtayne on the other ſyde. ſyftie lowpes made he in the one curtayne, and ſyftie in the edge of the couplinge curtayne on the other ſyde: and the lowpes helde one curtayne to another.

And he made ſyftie rynges of golde, and coupled the curtaynes one to another wyth the rynges: and so was it made one dwel�ynge place.

* And he made ri. curtaynes of gootes herre, to be a tent ouer the tabernacle. The length of a curtayne, had. xxx. cubytes and was. iii. cubytes brode, and they all eleuen of one ſyſe. And he coupled. v. curtaynes by them ſelues, and vi. by them ſelues, and he made ſyftie lowpes alonge by the borde of the vtmoff couplynge curtayne, and ſyftie in the edge of the other couplynge curtayne. * (That they might be iopned together.) And he made ſyſtye rynges of bralle to couple the tent together, that it might be one. And he made a couerynge upon the tent, of râmes ſkytnnes red, and yet another of tarus skinnes aboue that.

And for the other ſyde of the DWellynge which is towarde the north, he made twétie bordeſ, and their fourtye ſockettes of ſyluer, two ſockettes under one borde. And toward the weſt ende of the Tabernacle. * (That is to ſay: at that ende of the tabernacle which endmeth towarde the ſee.) He made ſire bordeſ, and two other bordeſ made he in the corners of the habytació for either ſyde, and they were iopned cloſſe beneth and aboue with a clampe, and thus they dyd to both the corners.

The apparell of Aarō and his ſonnes. All that the Loſde commaunter was offred.

Ad of the yelow lylk, purple and scarlet, they made the vestymentes of minyſtracyon to do ſeruice in the holy place, and made the holy gar-mentes ſo for Aarō, as the Loſde commaunter Holes.

And he made the Ephod of gold, yelow silk, purple, scarlet and whyte twyned lylke. And they dyd beate the golde in to thynne plates, and cutte it into wpers: to woſke it in the yelow silk, purple scarlet in the fyne whyte, with broderd woſke. And they made two lides ſo it, to close them up by the two edges. And the broding of the girdell that was upon it, was of the fame ſtuche, and after the fame woſcke: of golde, yelow ſilke, purple, scarlet, and twyned whyte lylke, as the Loſde commaunter Holes.

And they wrought Onix ſtones cloofed in ouches of golde, and grauſed as lygnettes are grauſ, with the names of the chyldrè of Israel, and put them on the shoulders of the Ephod, that they chuld be ſtones for a remè hzaunce of the chyldrè of Israel, as the Loſde commaunter Holes.

And he made the hzeſtlappe of connyng woſke, and lyke the woſke of the Ephod: eué of golde, yelow ſilke, purple, scarlet, and twyned white ſilke. It was. iii. square, and they made the hzeſtlappe double, an hande bzeadeth lóg, an hâde bzeadeth bzoode. And they ſylled it with. iii. rowes of ſtones. The kyzſt rowe: a Sardios, a Topas, and a Magragus: the ſecond rowe, a Rubye, a Saphir and a Diamonde: in the. iii. rowe, Ligurios, an Achat, and an Amatizſ: in the fourth rowe: a Turcas, an Onix, and a Jatpis. And they were cloofed in ouches of golde in their incloſers. And the. xii. ſtones were grauſ as lygnettes wyth the names of the chyldrè of Israel: euery ſtone wyth hys name, acordyng to the. xii. tribes.

And they made upon the hzeſtlappe, two kattenyng cheynes of wethen woſke and pure golde. And they made two hokes of gold, and two golde rynges, and put the two rynges in the two corners of the hzeſtlappe. And they put the two chapnes of gold in y. ii. rynges, in the corners of the hzeſtlappe: And the two endes of the two chapnes they kattened in the two hokes, and put them on the chulders of the Ephod upon the front of it.

Untyll the euen. And what locuer any of the dead carkasses of them doth fall vpō, thalbe uncleane: whether it be vessell of wodd, or raymet, or skinne, or bagge, or what locuer vessell it be that any worke is wrougbte in And it must be plunged in the water, and it shall be uncleane untill the euē, and so shall it be clenfed.

Allmaner of erthen vessell wher into any of them falleth, thalbe uncleane, wall þ there in is: and * it chal be brokē. All maner meaſte also þ is vled to be eaten & pf any soch water come upon it, it thalbe uncleane. And all maner dryncke that is vled to be drōcke in all maner soche vesseſls, thalbe uncleane. And euery thing that their carcaſſe falleth upon, thalbe uncleane: Whether it be ouen or kettell, let it be broken. Ifoſ they are uncleane, and thalbe uncleane vnto you: Neuer thelater, yet the fountaynes and welles and collection of waters thalbe cleane ſtyll. And whoso toucheth their carkasse, thal be uncleane.

If the dead carkasse of any soch fall vpō any leed vled to lowe, it shall yet be cleane full: but and pf any water be powed upon the leed, and a deed carkasse fall theron, it thalbe uncleane vnto you.

If any beaſt of which ye may eate, dye and any mā touche þ dead carcaſſe therof, he chalbe uncleane vntill the euen. He that eateth of the dead carkasse of it, shall waſſe the hys clothes and be uncleane vntyll the euen. And he also that beareth the carkasse of it, shall waſſe the hys clothes, and be uncleane vntyll euen.

Let euery creping thinge that crepeth vpō the erth be an abhomnacyon, and not be eaten. Whatloeuer goeth upon the brest, and whatloeuer goeth upon foure, or that bath moode kete amonge all crepyng thinges that crepe vpō the erth, of that se ye eate not for they are abhomnable. Ye chal not make your ſoules abhominable w nothige þ crepeth, neither make your ſelues uncleane with them: that ye chulde be defyld therby. Ifo I am þ Loſde youre God, Be sanctified therkoze, & ye chal be holý * for I am holý: & ye chal not deſyle your ſoules with any maner of creping thing, that crepeth upon the erth. Ifo I am the Loſd, that brought you out of þ lande of Egypt, to be your God: ye chal be holý therkoze, for I am holý.

This is the lawe of beekſes and ſoules and of euery lying creature þ moueth in þ waters, and of euery creature that creepeth upon the erth, that there maye be a differencé betwene the uncleane and clene, and beſtene the beaſte that maye be eaten, and the beekſe that ought not to be eaten.

For I will bring upon you fearfullnesse, swellyng of body, and the burnynge agew, to confume youre eyes, & gender sozow of hert.

And the Loode ſpake vnto Mo-

des and houſes of their fathers, (from. xxr.

moneth, Aarão and hys ſonnes shall come

And upon the chc we table, they shall sprede

couer it with a couering of tarus skynnes, & put in the barres therof. And they shall take all the things (which they occapye to minstree within þ holy place) and put a cloth of yellow ylke upon them, and couer them with a coueryng of tarus skynnes, and put them on a barre. And they shall take awaye the ashes from the alter, and Iprede a pure cloth theron: and put upon it all the vessels therof, that they myntre withall: even the cole pannes, the flesh hokes, the chouels, the basens and the other vessels of the alter, and they shall Iprede upon it a couerynge of tarus skynnes, and put in the barres of it. And when Aarō and his sonnes haue made an ende of couerynge the holy thynges, and all the vessels of the sanctuarye (ageſt that the hoſte remoue) then the ſonnes of Cahath shall come in for to beare, but they shall not touche any holy thinge, leaſt they dye. And this is the charge of the ſonnes of Cahath in the Tabernacle of witnesſe. And to þ offce of Eleazar the ſonne of Aarō the Prieſte pertayneth the oyle for the lighte, the swetes cens, the dayly meatoffrynge, & the anoptinge oyle, and the ouerlyghte of all the tabernacle, and of all that therin is, both in þ sanctuary and in all the vessels therof.

And the Loode Ispake unto Moſes and Aarō, ſayſe: ≈ Ye shall not destrope the trybe of the kyned of the Cahathites, from amōge þ Cerites. But thus do vnto them, that they may lyue and not dye, when they go vnto the most holy thynges: Let Aarō and his ſonnes go in, and take them downe, to every one after his ſeruice, and after his charge. But let them not goin, to se who the holy things are folden vp, left they dye.

And the Loode Ispake unto Moſes ſayeg. Take alio þ ſumme of the chüldern of Gerſon, thowow out the houſes of their fathers and thowow out their kynredes: from. xxx. yere and aboue, vntill I. Chalt thou nombre them, all that are able to goo forth to the warre for to do ſeruice in the Tabernacle of wittnelle. And thys is the ſeruice of the kynred of the Cerſonites, to ſerue and to beare. They shall beare the curtaynes of the dwellyng, and the rouſe of the Tabernacle of wittnelle, his coueryng, & the coueryng of tarus skynnes, þ is an hyle aboue upon it, & the hangynge of the dore which is in the tabernacle of wittnelle: & the hangynges of the courte, & the hangynge þ is in the entryng in of the gate of þ courte rounde about þ dwellynge & the altare, with the cordes, & all the instruments that ſerue vnto them, and all that is made for to ſerue them. At þ mouth of Aarō and his ſonnes, shall all the ſeruice of the chüldern of the Cerſonites be done, in all their charges and in all their ſeruice, & ye ≈ shall nombre vnto them all they burthes

to kepe. And this is the ſeruice of the kynred of the chyldren of Gerſon in the Tabernacle of wittnelle, & their watch chalde under the hande of Ithamar the ſonne of Aarō the Prieſte.

And thou Chalt nombre the ſonnes of Mevari after their kynredes & after the houſes of their fathers: fro. xxx. yeres & aboue vnto I. Chalt thou nombre them, euery one that is able to go forth to the warre, to do the ſeruice of the tabernacle of wittnelle. And this is the charge þ they must wayte vp, accozding to all theyr ſeruice in þ tabernacle of wittnelle. The bozdes of the dwellyng, with the barres, pillers, & lokettes therof, and the pillers that are rounde aboute the courte, with their lokettes, pynnes & cordes, & withall þ instrumentes of it, for all their ſeruice. And by name ye Chal reken the thynge that they must wayte upon to beare. This is the ſeruice of the kynredes of the ſonnes of Cerari accozdying to all their office in the Tabernacle of wittnelle under þ hand of Ithamar the ſonne of Aarō the Prieſte.

And Moſes & Aarō & the princes of the multitude nombred þ ſonnes of þ Cahathites, after their kynredes and houſes of their fathers, from. xxx. yere & aboue vnto fiftie, all that were able to go forth to þ warre, to do ſeruice in the tabernacle of wittnelle. And þ nombres of them thowow out their kynredes were two thouſande, ſeué húdzed I. This is the nombre of the kynredes of Cahath: namely, all that might do ſeruice in the tabernacle of wittnelle, which Moſes and Aarō dyd nombre, accozdying to the commandement of the Loode by the hande of Moſes.

These are the nombres of the ſonnes of Gerſon thowow out their kynredes & houſes of their fathers, from. xxx. yere vp vnto fiftye, all þ were able to go forth to the warre, for to do ſeruice in the Tabernacle of wittnelle.

This is the nombre of the kynredes of the ſonnes of Gerſon, of all þ dyd ſeruice in the tabernacle of wittnelle, which Moſes & Aarō dyd nombre accozdying to the commandement of the Loode.

And these are þ nombres of the kynredes of þ ſonnes of Cerari thowow out they kynredes & houſes of their fathers, fro. xxx. yere vp vnto fiftye: all þ were forth to þ warre, & ſeruyd in the tabernacle of wittnelle.

And the Loode Iſpake Unto Moles, layinge: commaunde the chyldren of Israel that they * put & out of the hofte, euery leper & euery one that hath an pſlue, and whoſoever is & deſked upon a ſoule. Both male & female shall ye put out: euen out of the hooſt shall ye put them, that they deſyle not the tentes amoge which I dwell. And the chyldre of Israel dyd so, and put them out of the hofte, euen as the Loode Iſpake Unto Moles, so dyd the chyldren of Israel.

And the Loode Iſpake Unto Moles, laye-ge: Iſpake Unto the chyldren of Israel: wher it be * man or woman. If they haue committed any ſynne that a man doeth, and haue trefpaced agaynſt the Loode, that ſoule hath done amisse: Therfore they shall know-ledge, their ſynne, whyche they haue done, and let them reſtoze agayne the hurte that he hath done in the hole, and put the fykt parte of it moare thereto, & gene it Unto hym who he hath trefpaced agenſt. But and if there be not a man to reſtoze the hurt Unto, ne a kynſman of his, let þ trefpace be made good Unto the Loode, and it chalbe the Preaſtes, helſyde the ram & of the attonemét wher-by an attonement chalbe made for hym. And euery heueofferynge that is made of þ holy thinges of the chyldre of Israel which they bryng Unto the Preaſte, chalbe his: and euery man ſhalowed thynges chalbe his: & whatſoever any man geneth the Preaſte, it chalbe his.

And the Lord Iſpake Unto Moles, layeg:
Speake Unto the chyldren of Israelll, and
laye Unto them: If any man's wyke goo a
ſyde, and trefpace agaynſt hym, so that a
nother man lye with her fleſhely, and it be
hyd from the eyes of her hufbande, and is
not come to lighte that he is deſyled & there
is no witnesſe agenſt her, neyther the taken
with the maner, and the ſpiete of gelouſe
cometh apon him, so þ he is gelouſe ouer his
wyke which is deſyled: or þ the ſpiete of ge-
louſe come upon him, so that he is gelouſe
ouer his wyke whych is yet undeſked: then

let the man brynge is wife Unto the Preaſte
and brynge with her an offerynge for her: þ
tethe parte of an Epha of barlye meale, but
let him powre none oyle vpō it, nor put frā-
kencens theron: for it is an offerynge of ge-
louſe, an offering for a remèdaunce, cau-
ſping the lynne to be thought upon.

And the Preaſte chall brynge her and let
her before the Loſd, & let him * take ho-
ly water in an erthen vessel, of the dust þ
is in the floore of the habitacyon, and put it
into the water. And let the Preaſte let the
woman before the Loſde, and vncouer the
womans head, and put the memoryall of
the offerynge in her handes whiche is the ge-
louſe offerynge, and the Preaſte chall haue
bytter and curlyd water in his hande, the
preſt shall charge her, and laye Unto the wo-
man. If no man haue lyan wyth the, neither
haſte gone aſyde to vnclenelle without thy

bytter, and curlyd waters.

But and þfou haſt gone aſyde behyn-

And let the Preaſte wryte theſe curſes:
And wha they be cleſed, let him caſt them in

Amos 4:1, 1b.

And the Lord spake unto Mo-  
les, laynge: Ipeake unto the  
children of Israel, and laye un-  
to them: when ether ma or wo-  
man doth separate them selfes  
to vowe a vowe of an abtkepner, and  
appoynte them selfes vnto LORD, he shall  
separate hym selfe from wyne and stroge  
drpncke, and shall drpncke no vynagre of  
wyne noz of stroge drynke, nor shall drynke  
whatsoeuer is prsetled out of grapes: shall  
eate no frech grapes neither yet dzed. As  
loge as hys abstinence endureth, shall he eate  
nothyng that is made of the wyne tre, or of  
the cornels, or of the huuke of the grape.

B

And as longe as he voweth, and is sepa-
rated, there shall no rasure come apon hys
heed: But vntill hys dapes be out, in the
which he separateth him selfe vnto LORD,
he thalbe holy, and shall let the lockes of his
heere growe. As long as he consecrateth hym
selfe vnto the Lord, he shall come at no deed
dodye: he shall not make hym selfe unclea-
ne at the death of hys father, mother, bro-
ther or fylster: because þ the vowe of þ abby-
néce of his God is vp his head. All þ dapes
of his abbynéce he is holp vnto the Lord.

And if it foztune that any man by chaui-

ne hys heed the dape of his clenfynge: euen
the seuenth dape he shall thaue it. And the
eyght dape he shall brynge two turtels or
two yonge pigeons to the prealle, before
the dize of the Tabernacle of witnesse. And
the prealle shall offer the one for lyme and
the other for a burntofferinge, and make an
atonmet for him, as coccerninge that he spyn-
ed upon a soule, and shall halowe his heed
the lame dape, and he thal confecrate hym
selfe vnto the Loode (the tyme of hys absti-
nencye) and shall brynge a lambe of a pe-
re olde for trefpace: but the dapes that
were before are lost, because hys abstinen-
cie was deyfled. This is the lawe of the ab-
stepner, when the tyme of his abstinence is
out, he thalbe broughte vnto the dize of the
tabernacle of witnesse, and he shall brynge
his offerynge vnto the Loode: an he lambe
of a yere olde without blemply for a burnt-
offerynge, and a the lambe of a yere olde
without blemply for lynne, a ram wythout

ket of swete heed, euë cakes of fyne floure
mpngled wyth ople, and wakers of swete
bread anoynted wy ople wy their meatofferi-
ges and drypnkofferynge.

And the Prealle shall brynge hym befo-
re the Loode, and offer his synofferynge and
his burnofferynge, and shall offer the ram
for a peaceofferynge vnto the Loode, wyth
the basket of swete heed, the Prealle shall

offer also his meatofferinge and his dzinck-
offerynge. And he shall thaue the heed of the
abtkeyner in the dize of the Tabernacle of
witnesse: euen the heed of his abbynéce, and
that take the heere of his sober heed, and put
it in the fyrze, which is under the peaceoffe-
rynge. And the prealle shall take the sodden
shoulder of the ram, and one swete cake out
of the basket, and one swete waker also, and
put them vpon the handles of the abtkepner
(after he hath thauen his abstinence of) and
the Prealle shall * (takerheur of hrym, and) waue

ges thalbe the prsetes, with the wauebzeit Æ
heue shoulder: and then the abstepner maye

stepner which hath vowed his offerynge un-

The ltringes of waters were sene, and the

He brought me forth also into a place of li-
bertye: he brought me forth, euen because he
had a fauoure unto me. The LoRD shall re-
ward me after my ryghteous dealing: accor-

copéle me. Because I haue kepte y wayes
of the LoRD and haue not behaued my selfe

an eye unto all his lawes, and wyll not cailt

also uncozrupte before him, and eschued myne

reward me after my ryghteous dealyng, and

holy, and with a perfecte man þ shall be per-

The same is my confozte in my trouble,
for thy wordeth hath quicke[n]ed me. The

yet haue I not chyncked from thy lawe.

For I remembred thyne euernlauing iud-

I am hozrply a frayed for the ungod-

haue bene my longes, in the house of my ppl

D Lord, in the nyght ceason, and haue kepte

D be mercyl[]full unto me accordig unto thy

braunce, and turne my fete into thy telesmo-

The congregacions of the ungodly ha-
ue robbed me, but I haue not forgotten thy

thanckes unto the, because of thy rpghteous
judgementes. I am a companyon of all

D Lorde, thou haſt dealt graciouſly w

Dlearne me true vnderſondngne, and

*Thou art good and gracious, D teach
me thy statutes. The proude haue pma-
gined a lye against me, but I will kepe thy
commandementes with my whole herte.

Their herte is as fat as hrawne, but my

learne thy statutes. The lawe of thy

that thy iudgementes are rpght, and that þ

troubled: D let thy merciſull kypndnesse
bemp conſoſte, accor[ing]dng to thy word vnto

kounded, for they go wickedly aboue to de-
ſtroye me; but I will be occupied i thy com-

haue knowne thy testimonies, be turned vn

ne a good hope because of thy word.

Myne eyes longe forze for thy word, la-

For I am become like a botell i the mo-

many are the daies of thy ſeruaunt? When
w[ilt] thou be auenged of them that perſecu-
te me? The p[rou]de haue dypped pyttes
for me, which are not after thy lawe. All
thy commandementes are true, they perſe-
cute me falſp[], D be thou my helpe. They
had allmoſt made an ende of me vp[er] earth,
but I forſoke not thy commandementes.

D quicke[n] me after thy loup[ing] kidnes,
and so that I kepe þ testimonies of thy mouth.

D Lorde, thy word endureth for euere in

They contnue this daye accor[ing]dng to

If my delyte had not bene in thy lawe, I

When he layed the koudacions of the earth I was with him, ozdinge all things: delyingt daply, and retoying all waye before him. As for the toude copace of this worlde, I make it toypull: for my delyte is to be amonge the chylden of men. Therefore herken unto me, D yee childre, blessed are they y kepe my wayes. D gene care unto nurotoure, be wyse, and re kule it not. Blessed is the man that heareth me, watching daply at my gates, and geuing attendaunce at y poftes of my dozes.

The wypnde goeth toward the South, & fetcheth his compate aboute unto þ North, and so turneth into hym selfe agayne. * All cloudes runne in to the see, and yet the see is not fylled: for loke unto what place the waters runne, thence they come to flowe agayn- ne. All things are so harde, that no man can expressle them: * The eye is not satisfied with lyght, the ear is not fylled with hearpinge. & The thing that hath bene, cometh to palle agayne: & the thing þ hath bene done, is done agayne, there is no new thyng under the Sunne. Is there enp thyng wherof it maye be fayde: lo, this is new: For it was longe agoo in the tymes that haue bene before vs. The thyng that is pafst, is out of remembra-

ce: Euen so the thynges that are for to come, shall no more be thought upon amongst them that come after. I mp selfe the Preacher, was kynge of Israel at Jerusalem, and dyd applye my mynde to keke out and kearch for þ knowledge of all thynges that are done under heauen. Soch tranaple and labour hath god genen unto þ chyldren of men, to excercyle them selfes therein.

Thus I haue consylded all the thynges þ come to pafle under the Sunne, and lo, they are all but vanite, and veracion of mynde. The crooked cannot be made krapght, and the fautes cannot be nombzed. I comoned with myne awne herte, fayinge: lo, I am come to a great estat, & haue gotte more wyp-dome, then all they that haue bene before me in Jerusalem. Yce my herte had greate expre-sience of wypdome and knowledge, for the-re unto I applyed my mynde: that I mp lyght knowe what were wisdome & under stävig, what were errour & foklithnes. And I percea-ued, þ this also was but a veració of mynde: for where moch wypdome is, there is also greate tranaple & disquyetnes: & thus the more knowledge a mā hath, the more is hys care.

Then sayd I thus in my herte: Now go a-to, I wyll take myne eale & haue good dayes. But lo, that is vanite also: in so moch that I sayde unto laughter: thou art madd, and to myrth: what does thou?

So I thought in my hert, to withdrawe my fleth fro wyne, to applye my mynde un-to wypdome, and to compre hende folythnes Untyll the tyme that (amonge all the thynges whych are under the Sunne) I mp lyght le what were best for men to do, so longe as they lyue under heauen.

* I made gorgeous kayze wozckes. I bu-pled me houses, and planted vypnardes. I made me oychardes and gardens of ple-sure, and planted trees in them of all maner frutes. * I made poles of water, to water þ- greene and frutefull trees withall. I bought feruauntes and mapdens, and had a greate houyholde. As for catell and chepe, I had more substaunce of them, then all they that were before me in Jerusale. I gathered syl-uer & golde together, even a treasure of kyn-ges and landes.

I prouyded me lyngers and weme, which coulde playe of instrumentes, to make men myrth and pastime. I gat me palfieries and songes of mulycke. And I was greater and in moze wozhipe, then all my predeceflours in Jerusale. For wisdome remapned with me: & loke whatfoener myne eyes delyzed, I let the haue it: and wherein soener my hert delyted, or had enp pleasure, I with helde it not from it. Thus my herte rejoyled in all that I dpyd, and this was my pozcion of all my tranaple. But when I consylded all the wozckes that my handles had wzoight, and all the laboure that I had taken theri: lo, all was but vanite and veracion of mynd, and nothinge of enp value under þ Sunne. The turned I me to consylde wypdome, erroure, and folythnesse (for what is he among men, that my lyght be compared to me the kynge in soch wozckes:) and I lawe, that wypdome excelleth folythnesse, as farre as lyght doth darkeennesse. For a wyle man hath his eyes in his head, but the foole goeth in the darke-nesse. I perceaued also, þ they both had one ende. The thought I in my mynde: If it hap pen unto the foole as it doth unto me, what nedeth me then to labour enp more for wyp-dome: So I confelled within my hert, that this also was but vanite. For the wyle are cuer as lytle in remembraunce as the fokl, and all the dayes for to come chalbe forgot-ten, yee þ wyle man dieth as well as þ foole. Thus beganne I to be weerp of my lyfe, in so moch that I coulde a waye with nothinge that is done under the Sunne, for all was but vanite & veracion of mynde: Yce I was weerp of all my labour, whych I had taken under

Of the Preacher.

Jo. xxxvii.

This is also a day ne thynge, and a veraciō
of mynde. The foole foldeth his hands to-
gether, e eateth vp his awne fleche. One
hāde full (sapeth he) is better with rest, then
both the handes full with laboure e trauayl-
e of mynde. Woe ouer, I turned me, e behol
de yet another vanyte under the Sunne.

There is one man, no mo but hym selfe
alone, haupng nether chylde ner hother: yet
is there no ende of his carefull trauayle, his
eyes can not be fatikel ed with erches, e (pet
doth he not remembre hym selfe, and tape.) For whome
do I take soch trauayle : For whose plea-
sure do I thus colume a waye my life : This
is also a vayne e myserable thynge. Ther-
koze, two are better then one, for the mape
well eniope the p[ro]fyt of the]y laboure.

For if one of them fall, his companye hel-
þeth him vp agapne: But wo is him that is
alone, for he fall, he hath not another to
helpe hym vp. Agapne, when two flepe to-
gether, thep are warme: but how can a body
be warme alone ? One mape be ouercome,
but two mape make refiſſaunce: A the ſold
cable is not lyghlyt broken. A poore chylde
bepnge wyle, is better then an olde kynge, þ
loteth, e cannot be ware in tyme to come.

Some one commeth out of preſon, and is
made a kynge: and another whych is bozne
in the kynge dome, commeth unto pouerte.
And I perceaued, that all men lyupnge un-
der the Sonne, go with the ſeconde chylde,
that commeth vp in the ſteade of the other.

As for the people þ haue bene before him,
and that come after hym, thep are innume-
rable: yet is not the]y toye the greater tho-
tow hym. Thys is also a vayne thynge and
a veracion of mynde. When thou commett
into the house of God, kepe thy fote & draw
nye, that thou mayst heare: e that is better
then þ offeringes of fooles, for they knowe
not what euell they do.

C The. v. Chapter.

CA monſion to beware of taſe commu[n]icacion.

We ought not to meruicl at the oppreſſiō of the poore,
The couertous is not fatikel ed with hys erches.

E not haſtpe with thy mouth, and
lett not thyne hert speake eny thing
rathly before God. For God is in
heauen, and þ upon earth, therfor
re let thy wo[d]es be keſwe. For where moch
carefulnſe is, there are many dzeames: and
where many wo[d]es are, there men mape
heare fooles. * If thou make a vowe unto
God, be not ſlacke to perſourne it. As for fo-
lyp vowes, he hath no pleasure in them. If
thou p[ro]mple eny thynge, pape it: for better
it is that thou make no vowe, the that thou
thuldeſt p[ro]mple, and not pape. Suffre
not thy mouth to caule thy fleth for to ſynne,
neither ſape thou before the angell, that it is

thy igno[ra]unce. For then God wylbe angete
at thy vopce, and deſtroye all the wo[d]kes of
thyne handes. And why? where as are ma-
nyp[re]ames and many wo[d]es, there are al-
ſo dyuerſe vanp[tes]: but loke that thou keare
God. * If thou leſt the poore to be oppreſ-
ſed and w[or]ongeously dealt withall, that so
equipe and þ r[eg]ht of the lawe is w[ra]ſted i
the lande: maruell not thou at soch a thynge,
for one greate man ke peth touch with ano-
ther, and the mygħtie helpe them ſelues to-
gether. The whole lande also with the fel-
des, and all that is therein, is in ſubieccion ad
bondage vnto the kynge. He that Loueth mo-
nep, will neuer be fatikel w[or] monep: e who
ſo deliteth in riches, that haue no p[ro]ſyt the-
roſ. Thys is also a vayne thynge. Where
as moche erches is, there are many also that
lpende the awaye. And what pleasure mo-
re hath he that p[os]ſelleth them, ſau[n]ge that
he mape loke upon them w[or] his eyes? A la-
bourynge ma[ſ] flepeth w[et]elyp, whether it be
lyp[e]e or moch that he eateſt: but the aboun-
daunce of the erche will not ſuſſre him to ſle-
pe. Yet is there a ſoze plage, which I haue
lene under the Sunne (namely) erches kepte
to the hurte of hym that hath them in p[os]ſe-
lion. For oft tymes the p[er]p[er]th with hys
greate myſery e trouble: e þe haue a chyl-
de, it getteth nothynge. * Lypke as he came
naked out of hys mothers wombe, lo goeth
he thither agayne, e careth nothing a waye
with hym of all his labour. Thys is a mp-
ſerable plage, that he shall go awaye eué as
he came. What helpeth it hym then, that he
hath laboured in the wynde? All the dayes
of hys lypke also he dyd cate in þ darcke, with
greate carefulnſe, ſycknſe and ſozow.

Therfore me thincke it a better e a p[ap]er
thynge, a man to cate and d[er]p[ne], and to be
refreſhed of all hys laboure, þ he taketh un-
der the Sunne all þ dayes of hys lypke which
God geueth hym, for this is hys porcyon.

For unto who[]e ſoener God geueth erches
goodes and power, he geueth it hym to en-
toye it, to take it for hys porcyon, and to be
refreſhed of hys laboure: thys is the gyſte of
God. For he thynketh not moch how lóge
he shall lyue, for so moch as God ſylleth hys
herte with gladnſe.

multitude of people shall go, speakying thus
one to another: up, left us go to the hull of
the Lord, and to the house of the God of Ja-
cob: that he mape theme vs hys waye, and
that we mape walcke in hys pathes. For y
lawe shall come out of Sion, and the word
of the Loode from Jerusalem, and shall geue
sentence amonge the Heathen, and shall re-
forme the multitude of people: They shall
bizeake theyr lwerdes also in to mattockes,
and theyr speares to make hythes. And one
people shall not lyft vp weapen agayst an-
other, neither shall they learne to fyght from
thens forth. Come ye House of Jacob let
us walcke in the lyght of Y Loode. But thou
hast forslaketh thy people the house of Jacob,
because they go farre be yonde theyr fathers
in Sozceres (whom they haue as Y Philifti-
nes had) and in strange chylden they
thynke them felues to haue ynough. They?
land is full of syluer and gold, neither is the-
re any ende of theyr treasure: They land is
also full of hozles, no ende is there of the y?
charets. They lande is also full of vayne
goddesses, and befoze the worck of their awne
handes haue they bowed the felues, yee euen
befoze the thynge that theyr awne kyngers
haue made. There kneleth the man, there
kalleth the man downe before them, so that
thou canst not bryng him awaye fro thence.

C


And therfore get the in to some rock, and
hyde in the grounde for keare of the Lord,
and for the glory of his magestye: Whych
cafteth downe the high lokes of przemptu-
ous personnes, and bryngeth lowe the pryde
of man, and the Loode only shall be exalted
in that daye. For the daye of Y Lord of ho-
tes shall go ouer al pryde and przempicion,
upon all them that exalte them felues, and
thall brynge them all downe: upon all hygh
and skoute Cedre trees of Liban?, and upon
all the okes of Balan, upon all hygh hylles,
and upon all skoute mountaynes, upon all
costly towres, and upon all stronge walles,
upon all chyppes of the kee, and upon euery
thyng that is glorious and pleasaunt to lo-
ke upon.

D


And it shall brynge downe the pryde of
man, and lape mans przemptuoulesne full
lowe, and the Loode shall only haue the vp-
ctory in that daye. But the Idols shall vi-
terly be roted out. When shall crepe in to ho-
les of stone, and in to caues of the earth, for

up to condene the earth. Then shall man cail-
awaye hys goddes of syluer, and hys god-
des of gold (whych he neuer theles had made
to honour them) unto Molles and Backes.
And they shall creye in to the caues and roc-
kes, and in to the clyfftes of hard stones, for

ke and the aged man, the prince of lyktie yea-
re olde, and the honorable: the Senatours, &
men of Standynge: the matter of cra-
ktes and ozatours. And I shall geue the chil-
dren to be theyr princes, and babes shall ha-
ue y'rule of you. The people also chalbe pp-
led and polled, and one shall euer be dopynge

shall prsume agaynst the elder, and the vyle
persone agaynst the honorable. Yee one shall
take a krende of hys awne kynred by the bo-
fome, & sape: thou hight clothynge, thou halt
be our head, for thou mayest kepe us fro hys
fall and parell.

Then shall he swere and sape: I cannot
helpe you. Woeouer, there is nether meate
ner clothying in my house, make me no ruler
of the people. For Jerusalem ad Juda must
decape, because that both theyr worzes and
counells are agaynst the Loode, to prouoke
the presence of his magestye unto anger. The
chaungynge of theyr countenaunce be wra-
yeth them, yee theyp declare theyr awne ky-
nes them felues, as the Sodomites, and hy-
de the not. Wo be unto theyr soules, for they
haue rewarded euell unto them felues. Byd
the rychteous do well, for they shall eniope
the frutes of theyp studies. But wo be to the
ungodly and vnrygheous, for they pralde
rewarded after theyr worckes. Chylden are
erected ionners of my people, and we men ha-
uerule of them.

C


Dmp people, the leaders deceaue the, &
depzauue the waye of thy kofteppes. The
Loode is here to commen of the matter, and
standeth to geue iudgement of the people.
The Loode shall come forth to reason with
the Senatours and paynces of hys people.
It is ye that haue burnt vp my vine parde, y'
pooze is in your houses. Wherfore do ye op-
prelle my people, and marre the faces of the
pooze. Sapeth the Loode God of Holtes.

Woeouer, thus sapeth the Lord: Seing
the daughters of Sion are be come so prou-
de, and come in with stretched out neckes,
and with vayne wanton eyes: sylnge they
come in tryppyng so nycely with theyp fete:
Therfore shall the Loode Thaue the heades

lyght darcknesse, that make lowre swete,
s twete lowre. Wo be unto the p are wyle
in thep awne lyght, and thynke them sel-
ues to haue vnderstandynge. Wo be unto
them, that are strong to suppe out wyne, ad
crerperte men to lett vp dronckennesse. The-
se gene lentecc with the vngodly forwar-
des, but condempne the iust cause of the
tygbteous.

Therfore, lyke as fyre lycketh vp the
krawe, and as the flame colummeth the stub-
ble: Euen so thep vrote chalbe as corrupcion:
and thep z blossome chall vanych awaye ly-
ke duft: for thep haue cast away the lawe of
the Lord of hostes, and blasphemed þ word
of the holy maker of Israel.

Therfore is the wath of the Lord kind-
led alio agaynst hys people, and he chaketh
hys hande at them: pce, he hath smyten so,
that the hylles dyd tremble. And thep kar-
cases dyd lye in the open stretes, lyke myze.
And in all thys, the wath of God hath not
ceastred, but hys hande is stretched out styll.
And he shall gpye a token vnto a straunge
people, and call vnto them in a farre countre:
and beholde, thep chall come hastely with
spede. There shall not be one kaynt noz feble
amonge them, no not a slogych noz fleperp
persone. There shall not one of them put of
the gyzdle from hys lopnes, ner lowse thep z
lachet of his choe. Hys arowes are charpe,
and al his bowes bent. His hozse hookes are
lyke styll, and hys cart wheles lyke a koz-
my wynde. His crpe is as it were of a lyon,
and he roareth lyke lyons whelpes. Thep
chall roare, and hantch vp the pzye, and no
man chall recouer it or get it from them. In
that dave thep chalbe so fearce upon them,
as the fce. And if we looke vnto þ lande, be-
holde, it chalbe all darcknesse and sozowe.
If we looke toward heauen: beholde, it chalbe

CThe.vj.Chapter.

C Esay saue the glORY of the LoRde, and was sent to
plophepe the delolacyon of JuRpe.

A
At the fame peare that kynge Dziah
dyed I sawe the LoRde hyttynge
upon an hygh and glorious keate, ad
hys trayne fylled the palace. From aboue
flakert the Seraphins, wherof euery one
had fire winges. With that wayne eche couered
hys face, with twayne hys fete, and with
twayne dyd he flie. They cried alio eche one
to other on thys maner: holy, holy, holy, is þ
LoRde of hostes. The whole worlde is full
of his glory. Pee the geaktes and dozecckes
moued at his cryeng, and the house was full
of smoke. Then I sayde, Ð wo is me. For I
am loft, i asmolch as I am a man of vnclea-
ne lyppes, and dwell amonge people þ hath

uncleane lyppes also: for myne eyes haue se-
ne the kynge and LoRde of hostes.

Then wele one of the Seraphins vnto
me, haupnge a hote cole in hys hande, which
he had taken from the aulter with the ton-
ges, and touched my mouth, and sayde, lo:
thys hath touched thy lippes, and thyne vn-
ryghte oufnes, is taken awaye, and thy syn-
ne forz geueu. Also, I herd the voyce of þ LoRd
sayenge on thys maner: Whom shall I send,
and who wylbe oure meffainger? Then I
sayde: here am I, sende me. And he sayde,
go, and tell this people: *yea shall heare in dede,
but ye shall not vnderstande: ye shall plane-
ly se, and not perceaue. Harden the harte of
thys people, stoppe thep z eares, and chut their
eyes, that thep se not with thep z eyes, heare
not with thep z eares, and vnderstande not
with thep z hertes, and conduerte and be hea-
led.

Then spake J: LoRde, how longe he an-
sWERed: vntill the cyptes be betterly without
inhabitours, and the houfes without men,
styll the lade be also desolate, and lye unbuyl-
ded. For the LoRde shall take the men farre
awaye, so that the lande chal lye waffe. Ne-

lyke wyle as the Terebintes and Dkretrees

Moeouer, all temerarious and leviadicious
power (pee where there is but a cote ſyled
with bloude) chalbe burnt, and consumed of
the fyze. If or unto vs a chylde is bozne, and
unto vs a ſonne is geuen. Upon hys should-
der doth the kyngdome lye, and he is called
with hys awne name: The wonderous ge-
uer of coicell, the myghtye God, the euerla-
ſking father, the prieace of peace, he chall ma-
ke no ende to encreale û kyngdome and peac-
ce, and chall ſyt upon the leate of David and
in hys kyngdome, to ſet vp the ſame, and to
kſtablych it with equpte and righteousneſſe,
from hencē forſth for euermoze. Thys chall
the gelouſly of the Loſde of Holſtes hupnge
to pafſe.

B

The Loſde lent a worde in to Jacob, the
ſame is come in to Israel. And all the peo-
ple of Ephzaim chall knowe, and they that
dwell i Samaria, that can ſape with pzyde
and hyc ſomackes, on thys maner. The ty-
le worcke is fallè downe, but we wyll buyl-
de it with harder ſtones. The Molberg tym
ze is broken, but we chall lett it vp agayne
with Cedze. Neuertheles, the Lord chalpre-
pare Razin the enempe agaynſt them, and

ſo orde thep aduerſarpes, that the Siriās
chall lape holde upon them before, and the
Philyſtines behynde, and so deuoure Israel
with open mouth.

After all thys is not the wath of the
Loſde ceaſed, but yet hys hande ſtretched
oute ſkyll. If or the people turneth not unto
hym, that chaſtyleth them, neither do they ſe-
ke the Loſde of Holſtes. Therfore hafth the
Loſde roſed oute of Israel both head and
taple, hzaunche and twigge in one dave.

By the head, is understande the Sena-
toure and honoſable man, and by the taple,
the Prophet that p reacheth hves. If or all
they whych enfourne û people that they be
in a ryght case, soch be diſceauers. Soch as
menthyncke also to be perfecte among the-
ſe, are but caſt awaye.

Therfore chall the Loſde haue no plealu-
re in thep ponge men, neither kauoure thep
katherleſſe and wydowes. If or they are all
togethier ppocrites & wycked, and all thep
mouthes speake ſoly. After all thys is not
the Loſdes wath ceaſed, but yet his hande
is stretched out ſkyll. If or ungodlynſſe bur-
neſt, as a fyze in the bryers and thornes.
And as it were out of a fyze in a wood oz a
rede buſh, lo ascendeth the smoke of thep
pzyde.

If or cause of the wath of the Loſde of
Holſtes, is the lande full of darckenefſe, and
the people be consumed, as it were with fy-
re, no man doth ſpare his hzother. If a man
do turne hym to the rpght hand, he chall fa-
miſche, oz to the leſte hande to eate, he chall
not haue ynough. Euery man chall eate
the fleth of hys awne arme. Manasses chall
eate Ephzaim, and Ephzaim Manasses,
and they both chall eate Juda. After all this
is not the Loſdes wath ceaſed, but yet is
his hande stretched out ſkyll.

Idolaters and theyr goddes: but not Jeru-

Wherfore þ Lord layeth as Alloone: I ha-

For he standeth thus in hys awne concate:
This do I thorow the power of myne awne

one of the worthyes) I dryne them from theyr
bye seates. By hande hath founde out the
streth of the people, as it were a nest. And
lyke as egges, that were layde here and the-

That were euentyke, as if the rod dyd erale-

though the staf childe magnifye it selfe, as

Lorde of Holkes send him pouerte in hys re-

Thynge, as though the Kyngdomes of the na-

kes is the Captayne of the whole armee.)
They come out of a farre countree, from the

tes shall melt a waye, they shall stande in

that trauayleth with chylde. One shall

burne lyke the klamme.

Beholde, the dape of the Loode shall come,
terrible, full of indignacion and wath: to
make the lande waste, and to roote out the
lynners therof. For the starres and planetes
of heauen shall not geue thep lyght, the sun-
ne chalbe darkened in the rplynge, and the

that it became a comen marte of the nacions.

Be alhamed thou zidon, for the lee (eue

I haue not trauailed, ner broughte forch chil
dren, ner norithed vp young me, or brought

When tydinges cometh to the Egypciars
they shall be fory for the rumore that goeth

dwell in the Ile. Is not thys that glorpous

hath deupled thys agaynst Tyze (that ge-
ueth garlades unto other cyties) whole mar
chauntes are prynces, and whose captaynes
are honorable in the worlde: Euen the lorde

Get the out of thy lande unto þ daughter of

le, that they shall utterly destroye þ myght

Eholde the lorde maketh the earth a

chalbe as the people, & the mafter as the ser-
naunt, þ mastreſſe lyke þ mayde, þ ſeller lyke

toure as the detter. The worlde chalbe clea-
ne waſſed Æd vitterly ſpoyled, for Æn the lord
hath spoken. The earth is fory and columeth
awaye, the worlde is keſle and perſith,
the proude people of the erth are come to
naughte. The earth alio is become vnprak-
table under the inhabitours therof, which
haue trälgreſſed the lawes, chauged the or-
dinaunce, broken the euerlasting covenant.

Therfore hath the curle consumed the
earth, and they that dwell therin, are fallen
in to tresspace. Wherfore, the inhabitours of
the earth are perſhed with orðouth, and
keſwe meare left behynde. The wyne faileth:
the wyne hath no mygbt, all they that haue
bene merc of hart, are come to mournyng.
The myrth of tabzettes is layed downe, the
noble of such as haue made mery, is cealled,
the iopæ at þ harpe is at an ende. They (hall
drznke nomoze wyne with myrth, strong
drznke chal be bytter to the that drznke it.
The cytie of vanite is broken downe, euery

In þ stretes is there a crypg because of wyne
all there is vanphted awaye, þ myrth of the
worlde is gone, in the cytie is left delsolacion
and the gate is imytten with deſtruacion.

For in the myddes of the worlde, euen C
among the people, it shall come to palle, as

pes are wha the wyne harueſt is done. They
shall lyft vp thery boyce, and make a mery

from the vttemost parte of þ earth haue we

The Prophecy

C
Up (ye riche and ydell cryptes,) harks un-
to my voyce. Ye carelle cryptes, marke my
words. After peares and dayes shall ye be
brought in keare, D ye carelle cryptes. Ko
Haruest chalbe out, and the grape gathern-
ge shall not come. D ye rych ydell cryptes ye þ
keare no parcell, ye chalbe abashed and remo-
ued: when ye se the barennesse, the nakednes
and preparynge to warre. Ye shall knock
upon your brestes, because of the pleasaunt
kelde, and becaule of the frutefull vyne parde.
By peoples kelde shall brynge thornes and
thistels: for in every house is volupte oufnes
and in the cities, wylfulnes. The palaces al-
so chalbe broken, and the greatly occupied
cities desolate. The towers and bulwerckes
chal become dennes for evermore, the r lea-
fure of Mules chalbe turned to pasture for
the pe: vnto the tyme that þ lprete be poured
upon vs from aboue.

D

Then shall the wylderneſſe be a frutefull
kelde, and the plenteous kelde chalbe rekened
for a wodde. Then shall equpte dwell in the
delſerte, ad ryghte ouſneſſe in a frutefull läde.

* Koma.v.b.2. * And þ rewarde of ryghteouſneſſe chal
peace, and hyr frute, reſt and quytenneſſe for

nes of peace, in my tabernacle and pleasure
where there is pnough in the all. And when
the hayle falleth, yt chall fall in the wodde ſ
the citie chal be set in the valleye. D how
happy chall ye be, when ye chal fakely ſowe
youre lede be ſpyde all waters, and dryue thy-
ther the kete yf youre oxen and alſes.

to truſſeſt thou, that thou caſſeſt thy ſelſe of

ken ſtaſſ of rede (I meane Egypte) which he
that leaneth upon, it goeth into his hande.
Chutteſt hym thowowe. Euen so is Pharoa
the king of Egypt, into all the that truſt in
him. But of þ woldeſt ſaye to me: we truſt
in the Loſd oure God: A goodly Godi dede:
whome H)e places and auitters Hezekia toke
downe, and commaunded Iuda àd Jerusa-
le, to woſhypp onely before þ auiter. Abp-
de the, thou haſt made a condicpon with my
Lord þ Kynge of þ Aſpyrians, that he chuld
gene þ two thoſande boſes: art thou able to
ſerme theu vp? Seyng now þ thou caſſ not
reſſt the power of þ smallest prinſe that my
Loſdhath, how darrell thou truſt in the cha-
rettes and hozſe men of Egypt? Mozouer,
thinckeſt thou that I am come downe hither
to deſtroye this lande without the Loſdes
wll: The Loſde ſayde unto me, go downe
into þ lande, that thou mapeſt deſtroye it.

Then ſayde Eliakim, Sobna and Joah
unto Rabſakeh: Speake to vs thy ſerua-
ites (we pize the) in the ſpyrians language
for we underſande it well: And, speake not
to vs in the Jewes ſonge, left the ſolcke hea-
re, which lyeth upon the wall. Then anſwe-
red Rabſakeh: Thyncke ye, that the kynge
ſent me to speake this only unto you? Hath
he not ſent me to them alſo, that lye upon the
wall? þ they be not compelled to eate. theyz
awne döge, & dźcke their awne ſkale to you?

C

And Rabſakeh ſtode ſkyſ, and cryed with
a loude voyce in the Ie wes tunge, and ſayd:
Now take hede, how the greate kynge of the
Aſpyrias geneth you warning. Thus ſayeth
the kynge: Let not Hezekias diſceane you,
for he shall not be able to delyuer you. I zo-
touer, let not Hezekias comforſte you in the
Loſde, when he ſayeth: The Lord without
doute shall defende vs, and shall not geue
ouer this cryptie into the handes of þ Kynge of
the Aſpyrias, beleue him not. But thus ſayeth
the kynge of Aſpyria optcyne my ſaoure,
encline to me: ſo mape euery man enioye his
vineyards and kygetrees, and dyndeke the
water of hys cysterne: unto the tyme that I
come mp ſelſe, and bpnge you into a lande
þ is lyke your awne: wherin is wheate and
wyne, which is both ſowen with ſede, and
planted with vyneyardes. Let not Hezekia
diſceane you, when he ſayeth vnto you: the
Loſde shall delyuer vs.

*Ezek. b.

* Wyght the Goddes of the ſtyles kepe euery mans land, fro the power of the kynge of the Aſpyrians. Where is the God of He-ath and Arphad: Where is the God of Se-pharuaim? And who was able to defende Samaria out of my hand: Di which of all þ Goddes of the landes, hath delyuered their countre out of my power, so that the Loſde

chulde delyuer Jeruſalem from my hande. En
to this Hezekias meſſaungers helde their tu-
ges, and anſwered not one woſde: for the
Kynge had charged the, that they chulde gene
him none anſwere. So came Eliakim Hel-
kiſs ſonne the Przident, Sobna the Scri-
be, and Joah Aſaphs ſonne the Secretary,
unto Hezekias with rente clothes, and tode
him the woſdes of Rabſakeh.

C The. xxx. viij. Chapter.

The hezekias humblyth him ſelbe before the Lord. The
army of Scunnaerib is ſlappe of the Angell of the
Loſde; and he hynpelteth hylled of his awne ſottes.

hen Hezekias hearde that, he ren-
te his clothes * and put on a ſack
cloth, and went into þ eple of the
Lord, But he ſent Eliakim þ Prz-
sident, Sobna þ Scribe, with þ eldeſt pzea-
tes clothed in * ſack, vnto þ Drophet Elap
the ſonne of Amoz, and they ſayd vnto him:
Thus ſayeth Hezekias: Thys is the dape of
trouble, of plage, and of blaſphemye: for the
childen are come to the place hyzth, but thee
is no power to bpnge them forſth. The Loſd
thy God (no doute) hath well conſyered the
woſdes of Rabſakeh, whom hys Loſde the
kynge of the Aſpyrians hath ſent, to deſpe &
blaſpeme the lyvinge God: with soch woſ-
des as the Loſd thy God hath heatde ryght
well. And therfore Iſt up thy prayer for
the remnaunt, that pect are left. So the ſer-
uauntes of kynge Hezekias came to Elap.

And Elap gaue the this anſwere: ſaye
thus vnto you Loſd: thus ſayet the Loſd:
Be not aſtrayed of the woſdes that thou haſt
hearde, wherwith the kynge of the Aſpyrias
feruautes haue blaſphemed me * Beholde,
I wil cauſe a wnde to go ouer him, as ſone
as he heareth þ rumoure, he shall go agayne
into his couſtre, there wll I deſtroye him vſ
the wnde * Now when Rabſakeh retur-
ned, he founde the kynge of Aſpyria layenge
ſege to Libnas, for he had underſande, that
he was departed fro Lachis. For there came
a rumoure, that Charbakas king of Ethio-
pia was come forſth to warre agaynſt him.

And when the kynge of Aſpyria hearde
that, he ſent other meſſaungers to Kynge He-
zekias with this comaundemèt: ſaye thus
to Hezekias kynge of Iuda: Let not thy God
diſceane the, in who thou hopenſt, and ſayſt:
Jeruſalem shall not be genue into the handes
of þ Kynge of Aſpyria. For, lo thou knoweſt
well how the kinglyes of Aſpyria haue hand-
led all the landes that they haue ſubuerted,
and hopenſt thou to eſcape? Were the peo-
ple of the ſtyles (whom impzogenitours
conquered) delyuered at any tyme thowow
theyz goddes: * As namely, Goſz, Haran,

were at Thalaffar. Where is the king of He-

Beholde pour God, beholde the Lo'de God
shall come with power, and beare rule with
his arme. Beholde, he hyngeth his treasure
with hym, and hys wozckes go before hym.
He shall fede his flock lyke an herdman. He
shall gather the lambes together with hys
arme, and carie them in his bolome, and thal
hondely intreate those that beare yong.

Who hath holden the waters in his fyll:
Who hath measured heauen w his svanne,
& hath comprehended all the earth of y
wozde in thre kvingers: Who hath weped the mo-
tapnes and hylles: Who hath refourmed the
mynde of y Lo'd: *D who is of hys coun-
cel to teach him: At who hath he alked coun-
cell, to make hym understande, and to lerne
hym the wape of iudgement: to teach hym
science: and to enstructe hym in the wape of
understandinge: Beholde, all people are in
comparyson of him, as a zoppe to a bocket
full, and are cousted as the left thyng that the
balaunce weyeth. Beholde, the Iles are in-
comparyson of hym, as the chadowe of the
sonne beame. Libanus is not sufficiët to my-
ny stre fyze for his offring, and all the beaſt
thereof are not enough to one factrycye. All
people in comparyson of him are rekened as
nothing, *yee vapne vanite and emptynes.

To who then wyll ye likè God or what
similmente will ye let vp unto him: Shal
the carner make him a carned ymage: & tha ll
the goldimpth couer hym with gold, or ca ft
him into a fourme of lyuer plates: Wozc-
ouer, thal the ymage maker (that the pooore
mâ which is vilpoed, mape haue some thing
to left vp also) seke out and chose a tree, that
is not rotten, and carue therout an ymage, y
moueth not: Know ye not this: Heare ye
neuer of it: Hath it not bene preached vnto
pon fence the begynninge: Haue ye not bene
enfourmed of thys, vence the foundacyon of
the earth was layde. That he fyttest vpon
the circle of the world, and that all the inha-
bitoures of the woizde are in comparyson of
hym, but as grechopers: * That he spze deth
out y heauens as a couerynge, that he stret-
ched them out, as a tent to dwell in. That he
hyngeth Dzynces to nothinge, and the iud-
ges of the earth to duft: so y they be not plan-
ted nor sowen agapne, nether theiz stocke ro-
fed agapne into earth: For as soone as he
bloweth upon them, they wither and fade a
wape, lyke the stra we in a whyle wpnde.

To whom now wyll ye lyken me, and
whom shall I be lyke, layeth the holy one:
Lyft vp pour eyes on yce, & cospydie. * Who
hath made those things, which come out by
so greake heapes: and he can call them all by
their names. For there is nothinge hyd vn-
to the greatnesse of his power, strength, and
myght. How mape then Jacob thynke, or
how mape Israel lyape: How wayes are hyd

from the Lo'de, and my God: knoweth
not of my iudgementes. Knowest thou not,
or hast thou not hearde, that the euerlast yng
God, the Lo'de which made all the corners
of the earth, is nether weerp noz kaynt: and
that his wypdome cannot be coprehezed: but
that he geneth strength vnto the weerp, and
power vnto the kapnte. Children are weerp
and kaynt, and the strongest men fal: * But
vnto them that haue the Lo'de before they
epes, thal streghth be encreased. Aegles win-
ges shall growe upon the. When they run-
ne, they shall not fal; and when they go, they
shall not be weerp.

chall bzeake the bza sen dozes, and burst the

thou mapeft knowe, that I y God of Israel

euer y kne weſt me, that I might be knowne
from strepling of y ſunne to the goying dow-

It is I y* created the lyght ſdarcknes, + I

Euen I the Lo'de, without whom there is

Beholde, * they take the word of God

therfore, I am so full of thyne indignacyon,
( Of Lord) that I mape suffre no lôger. But

And therfore thus ſayeth the Lord: be-

shall fall from among them the father with

Thus ſapeth the Lord: * Beholde, there

Beholde, the nopfe is harde at hand, & great fedicp on out of the nozth: to make the cryptes of Juda a wildernes, and a dwellynge place for Dragons. Now I knowe (D Loode) it is not in mans power to odre hys awne wayes, or to rule hys awne keppes & gopues. Therkoze, chafen thou vs, D Lord, but with fauoure and not in thy wath, having vs not utterly to naught.

A curle of them that obey not the word of Goddes
promelle. The people of Juda following the keppes of
the fathers, woudbwyppet Straunge Goddes. The
Loode kayeth that he will not heare the Jewes, and
korbwyddeth al Jeremp to piaye for them.

Hys is another Sermon, which the
Lorde commaunded Jeremp fo: to
preach, sayig: Heare y wordes: of
the couenaunt, and speake unto the men of
Juda, and to all them that dwell at Jerusa-
lem. And sape thou unto them. Thus sayeth
the Lord God of Israel: * Cursed be enerp
one that is not obedient unto the wordes of
this couenaunt: which I commaunded unto
poure fathers, what tyme as I brought the
out of Egypt, from the yon fornace, saying:
* Be obedient unto my boyce, and do acor-
dinge to all that I commaunde pou: so shall
pe be my people, and I willbe pour God,
and will kepe my pnompe, * that I haue
sworne unto poure fathers: Namely, that I
wolde geue the a lande which floweth with
mylek and honp, as ye se, it is come to palle
unto this dap. Then answered J, and sayd:
Amen. Let it be euen so Loode, as thou

Then the Loode sayde unto me agapne:
Breache this in the cryptes of Juda e coun-
de aboute Jerusale, and sape: Heare y wor-
des of this couenaunt, that ye maye kepe the:
for I haue diligently exhorted your fathers,
euer fence the tyme that I brought them out
of the land of Egypt, unto this dave. I gaue
them warnyng by tymes, saying: berke vn-
to my boyce. * Euertheles, they wolde not
obey me, noz enclype their cares unto me,
but folowed the wicked ymaginacyps of
their a wne hertes. And therkoze, I haue ac-
cused them as tranlgressours of all y wor-
des of this couenaunt, that I gaue them to

kepe, which they ( not withstandinge ) haue
not kepe.

And the Loode sayde Unto me: It is so-
umde out, that whole Israel and all thefe ci-
tezins of Jerusale are gone backe. Thep ha-
ue turned them selues to the blasphempes of
their fozekfathers, which had no luff to heare
my word. Euen lykewple haue these also
folowed Straunge goddes, and worchppped
them. The house of Israel and Juda haue C
broken my couenaunt, which I made with
their fathers.

Therkoze, thus sayeth the Lord: Behold,
I will sende a plage vpon them, which they
shall not be able to escape: and though they
tepe vntome, I will not heare them. * Then
shall the townes of Juda and the cypezins of
Jerusalem go, and call vpon * their goddes
unto whom they made their oblacyps: but
they shall not be able to helpe them in tyme
of their trouble: * For as many cryptes as y
hast, O Juda, so many goddes hast y had al-
so. And loke how manp kretes there be in y,
( D Jerusalem ) so many chamefull aulters
haue pe set vp, to offre vpon the Unto Baal.
* Therkoze, pzape not thou for this people,
byd neither Jeremp to piaye for them, fo,
though they crye Unto me in thez trouble,
pet wyll I not heare them.

D thou beloved, whp doest thou so cha-
mefull greate blasphempes in my house: eué
as though * that holp kely mpght ablollue
the, specially when thou hast made thy boot
of thy wickednes. * The Loode called the a
grene olypue tre, a kape one, a krutefull one,
a goodlp one: but now that there is a contra-
ry reporze of the abzode, he will burne y vp,
and destroye thy braunches. For the Loode
of Hoostes that planted the, hath deuysed a
plage fo the ( D thou house of Israel and
Juda) fo the euell that ye haue done to zo-
uoke hpm to wath, in that ye dpd seruyce
unto Baal.

This (D Lord) haue I lerned of the, and
understand it, for thou haft thewed me their
ymaginacyps. * But I am (as a meke lamy-
be) y is caried awaye to be flayne, not know
pnyge, that thep had deuysed soch a councell
agaynst me, sayeng: * We will destraye his
meate with wodd, and dorpue him out of the
land of the lyuing: that his name shall neuert
be thought vpon. Therkoze, * I will beche
the now (D Loord of hoostes) thou rpghteo
iudge, thou that trpeft y prenes & y hertes:
lett me se the auenged of them, for unto the
haue I committed my caule. The Loode the-
foze spake thus of the cypezins of Anathorth,
that sought to flape me, sayenge: * Pzache
not vnto vs in the name of the Loode, or els
thou chalt dye of our handes. Thus (I sape)
spake the Loode of hoostes. Behold, I wyll

Shall not sozowe come upon the, as on a woman trauaylling with child: And if thou woldest laye then in thyne herte. Wherefore come these things upon me: * Even for the multitud of thy blest hemyes, that hinder parties and thy fete be discouered. For lyke as the man of Inde mape change his kynne, and the cat of the mountayne her spots: so mape ye that be excercysed in euell, do good. Therefore will I scatre you, lyke as the stoble that is takena waye with the south wynde. Thys shall be youre pozicion, and the pozicion of your measure, wherwith ye shall be rewarded of me, layeth the Lozde: because ye haue forsotten me, and put youre trust in dysceatfull thynges. * Therefore shall I turne thy clothes ouer thy heade, ad discouer thy thygches, that thy prieupties mape be sene, thy aduontry, thy deedly malce, thy beaklineſe, and thy namefull whoz dome. For upon the feldes and hylles I haue sene thy abhominacions. Who be unto the (D Jerusalel) when wylt

The word of the Lozde chewed unto Jereny, concernynge the derth of the flutes. Juda hath mourned, his gales are desolate: they are brought to heupennes euen unto the grounde, and the crie of Jerusalel goeth vp. The lozdes sent theyferuauntes to fetch water, and when they came to welles, they dyd kynde no water, but caried their veffels home emptye. They be aſhamed and confounded, and couer their heades. * For the grounde is dryed vp, because there commeth no rayne upon it. The plowmen alio be aſhamed, and couer they heads. The hynde also forsoke the yonge kawne, that he brought forth in the kelde, because there was no graſſe. The wplde Aſſes dyd kande in the hpe places, & dzeue in theye wynde lyke the dragons, their eyes dyd kayle for want of graſſe.

Tuch, there shall no swerde neer honger be in

those prôphetes perph, & the people to wh
they prieche chalbe cast out of Jerusale, dye
of honger, and be slayne with the swarede,
* (and there chalbe no man to burye them)
both they and thep? wyues, thep? sonnes ad

D wypednesse upon them. Thys chal thou

and chall perph with a greate plage. Ifo? pf
I go into the felde, lo, it lyeth all full of slap-
ne men. If I come into the cytie, lo, they be
all kamphed of honger.

Yee, their prôphetes also and peftes chal
be led into an unknowne lande.

Hast thou then utterly foſaken Juda?
Dost thou ſo abhozre Spon: O! hast thou ſo
plaged vs, ſ we can be healed nomoz: * We
loked for peace, and there commeth no good:
for the tyne of health, and lo, here is nothig
but trouble. We knowledge (D Loſde) all
our misdeſdes, and the ſynnes of our fathers,
that we haue offeſed the. Be not diſpleaſed,
(D Loſde) for thy names ſake, * forget not
thy louing kyndnesſe. Remembre the trone
of thyne honoure, hzcaken not the conenaunt,
that thou haſt made with vs. * Are there
enp amonge the goddes of the Getáples, that
ſende rapne or geue the chowers of heauen:
Dost not thou it, D Loſde our God, in who

anſwered me: Lede not I? then vnto good:
Come not I to the, when thou art in trou-

I wyll geue them out into a pzaſe, not for

thou haſt done in all thy coaſtes. * And I
wyll brynge the with thyne enemypes into a

D Loſd, thou knoweſt: therſo？e remem-

Therkoze thus saieeth the Lo'de. Aske a-

foch hórypble þynges, as the daughter of
Sion hæd done. Shall not the snowe ( that
melteth upon the stony rockes of Libanus)

C The. xix. Chapter.

The prophylacteth the destruccion of Jeruſalem, ko; the contempt and dehrypung of the woode of God.

Hus layde the Lord: God thy wape a
and bpe the an erthen pytcher, and
bryng forth the Senatours and che-
ke pkeates into the valley of the chylden
of Hennom, which lieth bekoze the doze that
is made of b[]pcke, and thewe thein the-
re the woodes, that I wall tell the, and laye
thus vnto the. Heare the woode of the Lord,
pe kyngeſ of Juda, and pe crypteſyns of Je-
ruſalem. * Thus layeth the Lo'de of Ho-
ſtes the God of Israell: ♦ Beholde I wyll
bringe socha plage upon this place, that the
eares of all that heare it, chall glowe. And
that because they haue forſaken me, and vn-
halowed this place, and haue offered in it vn-
to straunge goddes: whome neither they, their
fathers, ner þinges of Juda haue knowne.
They haue ſpelled this place alſo with the
blonde of innocentes * for they haue ſett up
an aulter vnto Baal, to burne their chylde
for a buent offeringe vnto Baal, which I ne-
ther commaunded, ner charged them, neither
thought once there upon.

Beholde therkoze * the tyme commeth
(saieth the Lord) that this place shall nomo-
re be called Topheth, ner þ valley of þ chyl-
dren of Hennô, but the valley of slaughte.
Ko; in this place will I slaye þ Senatours
of Juda and Jeruſale, and kyll them downe
with the swearde in the ſygt of their ene-
mes, and of them that seke their lyues. And
they德ed carcasses will I geue to be meate
ko; the koules of the apre, and beefktes of the
kelde. And I will make this cypie ſo deſolate,
and deſppeſed: * that who ſogoeth ther bp,
Mall abachted and least upon her, becau-
ſe of all her plages.

* I wyll ſede them alſo with the flethe of
their ſonnes and their daughters. ♦ Pee, eue-
ep one shall eate vp another in the beſegyn-
ge and kraytnelle, wher with their enemyes
( that seke their lyues ) chall kepe them in.
And þ pitcher chalt thou bzeake in the ſygt
of the mé, that chalbe with the, and laye vn-
to them: Thus layeth the Lo'de of Hoſtes:
* Euen so wyll I destrope this people and
cepte: as a man bzeaketh an erthen vesseſl, þ
cannot be made whole agayne.

* In Topheth chalt they be buried, ko; they
chall haue none other place. Thus will I do
vnto this place alſo, saieth the Lo'de, and to
them that dwell therin: yee, I will do to this
cypie as vnto Topheth ( Ko; þ houſes of Je-
ruſalem and the houſes of the kyngeſ of Ju-

cauſe of all the houſes, in whole parlers they
dpd sacryſyce vnto all the hooſe of heauen
and powred d[]rpnke offeringes vnto straun-

Tat in the fourth peare of the rayne of zedekiah kynge of Juda, in the fyth Moneth, It happened, that ha naniah the sonne of Assur the prophet of Gibeon, spake to me in the house of the Lord, in the presence of the prelates and of all the people, and layde: Thus layeth the Lord of hooites the God of Israel: I haue broken thy pock of the kynge of Babylon, * and after two peare wyll I hrynge agayne into thy place, all the ornamentes of the Lordes house, that Rabuchodonosor kynge of Babylon ca tred awaye from thy place unto Babylon. Yee, I wyll hrynge agayne Jechoniah the sonne of Jehoakim the kynge of Juda hym self, wythall the preſoners of Juda (that are caried unto Babylon) euen into this place, layeth the Loſde, for I wyl hunte the pock of the kynge of Babylon.

*Mich.iii. c.

Then the prophet Jeremy gane anſwere unto the prophete Hananiah, before the pzes and before all the people that were preſent in the house of the Lord.* And the prophet Jeremy layde: Amé, the Lord do that, graunte the kynge wyth thou haſt propheticd: that he maye hrynge agayne all the oznametes of the Loſdes house, and reſtore all the preſoners from Babylon into the place. Aneuertheles, herken thou also, what I wyll laye, that thou and all the people maye heare: The preſbetes that were before vs in tymes past, which prophecied of warre, or trouble, or peſtlence, ether of peace, upon many nacybs and greate kingdoms, were proued by this (that God had ſende them i verp dede) *when the thynge came to palle, which that prophet tolde before.

And Hananiah the prophet toke the chapne from the prophet Jerempes neck, that haſe it, and wyth that layde Hananiah, that all þe people mpight heare: Thus hath the Loſde spoken: Eue so wyll I hunte the pock of Na buchodonosor kynge of Babylon, from the neck of all nacybs, yee, and that wythin this two peare. And so the prophet Jeremp wenthe hys wape. Now after that Hananiah the prophet had taken the chapne from the prophet Jerempes neck, ad brokenit. The wozde of the Loſde came into the prophet Jeremp layenge: Go and tell Hananiah the the wodes: Thus layeth the Loſde. Thou haſt broke thy chape of wod, but in steade of wod thou haſt make chaynes of yon. For thus layeth the Loſde of hooſtes the God of Israel: I wyll put a pock of yon upon the neck of all þys people, that they mape ferue Rabuchodonosor the kynge of Babylon, yee, and so shall they do. And I wyll gene hym þe beates in the felde. Then layde the preſbet Jeremp vnto the preſbet Hananiah: *Here me Hananiah: The Loſde hath not ſent þ, but thou bringest this people into a false be-

C The preſbet of Jerempes, ſent vnto them that were in captiutre in Babylon. He propheceth thet he reſt from captiutre after Jer. peares. He propheceth the detruccyon of the kynge and of the people that reman'd in Jeruſale. He threareneth. II. Preſbetes that leſed to the people. The death of Semmeiah the Hebelampt is preſpered.

Heſe are the wodes of thy boke, that Jeremy the preſbet ſent from Jeruſale unto thy preſoners: Æ Senatours, preſtes, preſbetes, and all the people, whom Rabuchodonosor had led vnto Babylon: after that tyme that kynge Jechoniah, and hys Duene, hys chambrelapnes, þ princes of Juda and Jeruſale, the woſchmaſters of Jeruſalem were departéd thyſt. Whych boke Elaſah the ſonne of Saphan & Gamariah the ſonne of Helkiah dyd beare, whom zedekiah the kynge of Juda ſent vnto Babylon to Rabuchodonosor the kynge of Babylon: theſe were the wodes of Jerempes boke.

Thus hath the Loſde of hooſtes the God of Israel ſpoken vnto all the preſoners, that were led from Jeruſalem vnto Babylon: * buſle you houſes to dwell therin: pláte you gardens, that ye may entoye the fruits thereof: * take you wypes, to beare you ſonnes & daughters, proude wypes for your ſonnes, & hulbades for your daughters thy preſbet get ſonnes & daughters, ad þe preſbet multiplive there. Laboure not to be kewe, but ſeke after peace & pzoſperite of þy cytie, wherein ye preſoners, * þe preſbet vnto God for it. For þy peace therof, shall pour peace be. For thus layeth the Lord of hooſtes the God of Israel: * Let not those preſbetes & ſothlapers that be amonge you diſcaue you: and beleue not youre awne diameames. For whp, * they preſeach you lyes in my name, and I haue not ſent them, layeth the Loſde.

I shall destrope all the people, amonge who
I haue scatred the, yet wyll I not destrope

I knowe, that thou art in no wpsc* without kaute.
Therfore thus sapeth the
Lozd: I am soz for thy hurte and wouzd.
There is no man to medle wyth thy cau
sc:oz to dynde vp thy woundes: there maye
no man helpe the.

All thy louers haue kozgotten the, and ca
re nothynge for the. Ix I haue geuen the a
cruell kroke, and chaftened the roughly: and
that for the multitude of thy m[ur]sodes, for
thy spynnes hane had the ouer hande. Why
makest thou mone for thy harme: I mp selfe
haue ppte of thy sozowe, * but for the mul
titude of thy myfzedes and spynnes, I haue
done thys vnto the.

* And therfore all they that deuoure the,
thalbe deuoured, and all thine enempes chal-
be led into captiuite. All they that make the
waste, chalbe walted the selues, and all tho-
sc that robbe the, wyl I make alfo to be rob-
bed. Ix I wyll geue the thy health agayne
s make thy woundes whole, sapeth Lozd:
because they reurled the, as one caft awaye
and dispyced, D Syon.

For thus layeth the Lozd: Beholde, *I
wyll sett vp Jacobs tentes agayne, and de-
kende hys dwellynge place. The crypt chalbe
bwylded in her olde estate, ad the houses chall
haue their ryght foundation. And out of the
chall go thankes geupnge, and the voyce of

I wyll multiplye them, and they shall not

no man shall subdue them. They chylden
thalbe as a koze tyme, and theye congregaci-
on shall contynue in my ryght. And all thole
that be ze them, wyll I vplett.

* A captayne alio shall come of them, and

he chal come vnto me. * Fo: what is he, that
geneeth ouer his bert to come vnto me: sapeth
the Lozd. * Ye chalbe my people alio, and
I wylbe voure God. ♦ Beholde, on the other
fyde chal þ wath of the Lozd breake out as
a kozmp water as a mpightye whylle wyn-
de: and chall fall upon the heades of the vn-

The terryble dysplea sure of the Lozd
shall not leaue of, vntyl he haue done, & per-
fourmed the intent of hys herte, * whych in

Even so shall the Lozd now also apeare vn

Thou Chalt plante vynes agayne upon

And when it is tyme, the watch men vp[on]

thus layeth the Lozd: Reioce wyth glad-

that be greate wyth chylde, and soch as be al

They departed from hence in heupnes,

And so Hananeel mpyne Uncles ſonne came to me in the courte of the p[re]ſon (a[c]c]o[n]ynge to the wo[d]e of the Lo[d]) and layde vnto me: B[re]mp[land] (I z[ay]e the) that lyeth in An[ath]oth in the countrie of Ben Jamun: for þ[or]b h[er]ptage thou haſt r[eg]ht to lowſe it out for þ[or]b ſelke, th[er]fo[e] redeme it. Then I p[er]ceued, that this was the commandement of the Lo[d], and so I brought the l[ade] from Hananeel of An[ath]oth, mpyne Uncles ſonne, ad weped him there the monep: eu[c]e ſeu[n] ſples, and ten ſyluer pens.

I caused him also to make me a w[y]t[py]ng,
and to scale it, and called reco[d]e therby, and
we[ped] h[ym] there the m[one]p upon the way-
[gy]htes. So I took the evidence w[hy]th the co-
pie (w[he]t it was orderly sealed and red ouer)
and I gaue the eud[ee]e vnto Baruch the lon-
ne of N[er]iah the ſonne of B. a[as]iah i þ r[eg]ht
of Hananeel mp[of]yn, and in the p[re]ſence of
the w[pt]neſſes, that be named in the eud[ee]e,
and before all the J[ew]es that were therby
in the courte of the p[re]ſon.

I charged Baruch also before the, ſaping:
The Lo[d]e of Ho[l]les the God of I[r]ael co-
mau[n]deth the, to take th[ys] sealed eu[d]ence
wyth the copie, and to laye it in an erthe vel-

hath determyned, that h[ou]ſes, k[eld]es e

Now when I had delpuered the evidence
unto Baruch þ ſonne of N[er]iah, I befo[ug]ht
the Lo[d], ſapeng: D Lo[d] God, * It is thou
that haſt made heauen and earth wyth th[

The prophecye

before me euer frô thep? youth vp, what haue they els done, but prouoked me with the worckes of their awne hädes: faieth þ LORD.

Dz, what hath this crypte bene els, but a
prouokinge of mp wath, euer = fence the
dave that thep buplded it, vnto thys houre:
Wherin I cast it out of mp wight, because of
the great blasphempes of the chyldren of Is-
raell âd Juda, whych thep haue done to pro-
uoke me.pee, they, thep kynges, their pryn-
ces, their Pzestes, their Prophetes, the me
of Juda, & the cryptes of Jerusalem.

* When I kode vp early, and taught the
and instructed the, they turned they? backes
to me, and not thep faces. They wolde not
heare, to be rekourmed and correcte, but lett
they? Idoles in the house, that is halowed
untomp name, to defple it. They haue bupl-
ded hye places for? Baall in the valley of the
chylden of Hennom, to vowe their Ionnes
and daughters vnto Moloch: whych I ne-
uer commaunded them, neither came it euere
in my thought, to make Iuda lynne wyth
loch abhominacyon.

And now therfoze, thus hathe the Loode
God of Israel spoken, concernerpge thys crypt,
whych (as ye poure selues confelle) chal-
be delpuered in to the hande of the kynge of
Babylon, whê it is wonne wyth the Swear-
de, wþth honger and with peftilitye: * Be-
holde, I wyl gather them together from all
lades, wherin I haue seafred the imp wath
in my keartfull and greate displeasure: & will
bringe them agapne vnto this place, where
they shall dwell safely. And thep chalbe my
people, and I wylbe thep? God.

* And I wyl geue them one herte and one
wape, that they mape feare me all the dapes
of their lyke, that they and thep? chylden af-
ter the mape prôspere. * And I wyl sett vp
an eueralstinge couenaunt wþth them, Na-
mely: þ I wyl neuer ceasse to do them good,
& that I wyl put my keare in their hertes,
to that thep shall not runne awaye from me.

*Yee, I wyl have a lust and pleasure to
do them good, and faithfully to plante them
in thys lande, wþth my whole herte, & wþth
all my soule.

Ifor thus fayeth the Lord: lyke as I haue
brought all this great plage upon thys peo-
ple: so wyl I also hzpnge upon them all the
good, that I haue promyed them. And men
shall haue their poselllys in thys läde whe-
tof ye fape now, that it shall neither be inha-
bited of people ner of catell, but be delpuered
in to þ handes of the Caldees. Yee, land chal-
be bought for mone, and evidences made
ther upon and kealed before wytnesſes in the
coûtre of Ben Jamin, and eûnde aboute Je-
rusalem: in the cryptes of Iuda, in the cryptes þ
are upon the mountaynes, and in them that
lpe beneth, pee, and in the cryptes that are in

the southe. For I wyl hzpnge thep? prelo-
ners hzther agapne, fayeth the Loode.

C The. xxxiiij. Chapter.

The prophete is monp[ed of the Loode, to mape for
the delpueraunce of the people, whych the Lo[d]e
menereth. God foygeueth lythnes and dothe graciously
to the people, for his awne renowne. Of the þyrd of
Chypt. The hryngdome of Chypt in the churche shall
neuer be ended.

Dreouer, the word of the Lord ca
me vnto Jeremp on thys maner, * Jer. x. a.
whê he was yet bounde in the cour-
te of the preſon: Thus fayeth þ Lo-
de, which fulfylth the thynge that he spea-
keth, the Loode whych perfourmeth þ thing
that he taketh in hande: euen he, whole name
is the Loode: * crye vnto me, and I wyl an-
swere: and we the greate & hye thynges,
whych were unknownen vnto the.

Thus (I fape) fapke the Lord God of Is-
rael, concernpng the houſes of thys crypt, âd
the houſes of the kringes of Iuda: that thep
chalbe broken thowowe the odynaunce and
weapens, when the Caldees come to beſege
them: and thep chalbe fylled with þ deed kar
cales of men, whô I wyl ſlaye in my wath
& displeasure: when I turne my face frô this
crypt, because of all her wyckednes. Bebold,
(fayeth the Lord) I wyl heale thep? woun-
des and make them whole: I wyl open the
the treasure of peace and truth.

And I wyl returne the captiuyte of Ju-
da and Israel: and will let them vp agapne:
as they were aſoke. * From all mpledes
(where they haue offedded againſt me) I wyl
clenſe the: And all their blasphempes whych
they haue done againſt me, whê thep regar
ded me not, I wyl forſgene them.

And thys shall get me a name, a prayle
and honoure, amoge all people of the earth,
whych shall haue all the good, that I wyl
the we vnto them: pee, they shall be atraped
and aftonnyed at all the good dedes and be-
neſytes, that I wyl do for the. Moreouer,
thus fayeth the Lord: * In this place, wher-
of ye fape þ it shall be a wyldernesse, wher-
in nether people ner catell shall dwell: in lyke
maner in the cryptes of Iuda and without Je-
rusale[m] (whych alſo chalbe so voyde, that ne-

The rulars thews vnto the Lyunge the wodes of the

after cather it in the lyre. There is another witten,

*Iere.rrr.a.*

A
N the fourth yeare of Jehoakim û
sonne of Joliah Kynde of Juda,
came the word of the Loode vnto
Jeremy, sayinge: *Take a boke, û
wypte therin all the wordes that I haue Ipo
ken to the, agaynst Itraell agaynst Juda,
and agaynst all the people, from the tyme û
I beganne for to spake vnto the (in the ray-
gne of Joliah) vnto this dave. That when
the house of Iuda heareth of û plage, whych
I haue deuised for them, they may perad-
venture * turne, every man fro his wycked
waye, that I maye forgene their offences ad
lynnes.

*Iere.vill.a.*

Then dyd Jeremy call Baruch the Sonne
of Neriah, * & Baruch wrotë it the boke at y
mouth of Jeremp, all the wordes of û Lord,
wych he had spoken vnto him. And Jeremp
commaunded Baruch, sayinge: I am in pze-
lon, so that I maye not come into the house
of the Loode: therfoze go thou thytther, and
reade the boke, that thou haft wryten at my
mouth: Namely, the wordes of the Loode, û
rede them in the Lozes house vpon the fa-
kyng dave, that the people, whole Iuda, ûd
all they that come out of the cyties, maye
heare: Peradventure they wyll praye meke-
ly before the face of the Loode, û turne every
one from his wycked waye. For greate is
the wath and dyspleasure, that the Loode
hath taken agaynst thys people.

*Iere.xlv.b.*

B

So Baruch the Sonne of Neriah dyd, ac-
cozdyng vnto all that Jeremp the Prophete
comaunded hym, readying the wordes of the
Loode out of the boke in the Lozes house.
And this was done in û fykt yeare of Jehoa-
kim the Sonne of Joliah kynde of Iuda, in û
ix. moneth * when it was commaunded, that
all the people of Jeruſale thulde kafk before
the Loode, û they also that were come from
the cyties of Iuda vnto Jeruſalem.

*Hone.ill.a.*

C

Then red Baruch the wordes of Jeremp
out of û boke wyth in û house of the Loode,
out of the treaury of Gamariah the Sonne of
Saphan the Scrybe, whych is be fyde the
hyper lokke of the * new dize of the Lozes
house: that all the people myght heare. Now
whe Ûicheah û Sonne of Gamariah û Sonne
of Saphan had hearde all the wordes of the
Loode out of the boke, he wente downe to û
kynges palace into the Scrybes châbze, for
there all the Prynces were set: Elplama the
Scrybe, Dalatiah the Sonne of Semet, Elna-
than the Sonne of Achboz, Gamariah û lon-
ne of Saphan, zedekiah the Sonne of Hana-
niah, wyth all the Prynces. And Ûicheah
tolde them all the wordes, that he hearde Ba-
ruch rede out of the boke before the people.

*Iere.rrv.b.*

D

Then all the Princes tent Iehudi û Sonne
of Nathaniah, the Sonne of Selamiah, the
sonne of Chusli, vnto Baruch, sayinge: Take
in thyne hande the boke, wherout thou haſt

red before all the people, and come. So Ba-
ruch the Sonne of Neriah toke the boke in his
hâde, û came vnto the. And the pape vnto
hym: Syt downe, û rede the boke û we may
heare alio. So Baruch red that thep myght
here. Now when thep had hearde all the
wordes, they were abashed one vpon ano-
ther, û pape vnto Baruch: We wyll cerkyke
the kynge of all these wordes. And thep era-
myned Baruch, sayinge: tell vs, how dyd deſt
û wypte all these wordes out of his mouth:
Then Baruch anſwered them: He pake all
these wordes vnto me wyth his mouth, and
I wote them in the boke.

E

Then sayde û Prynces vnto Baruch: Go
thy waye, û hyde the wyth Jeremp, so that
no man knowe where ye be. And thep went
in to the kynge to the courte. But thep kiepte
the boke in û châbze of Elilama the Scrybe,
& tolde the kynge all û wordes that he might
heare. So the kynge tent Iehudi to ketch him
û boke, whych be brought out of Elplama û
Scrybes châbze. And Iehudi red in it, that
the kynge & all û prynces, which were about
him, myght heare. Now the kynge sat in the
wynter houſe, for it was in the. ix. Honeth,
& there was a fyze before him. And whe Ie-
judi had red the ze or foure leanes therof, he
cut the boke in peces wyth a penne knpfe, &
*caſt it into the fyze vpon the herth, vntyl û
boke was all brête in the fyze vpô the harth.

*1.Mat.ii.e.*

F

Yet no man was abashed therof, oz rente
his clothes: nether the kynge hym ſelke, ner
his ſeruauntes, though they hearde all these
wordes. Neuer theleſſe Elnathâ, Dalatiah, û
Gamariah be ſonget the kynge, û he wolde
not burne the boke: not wythstandynge the
kynge wolde not heare them, but còmaun-
ded Jerahmael the Sonne of Amalech, Sa-
raiah û Sonne of Ezriel û Selamiah û Sonne
of Abdiel, to lape handes vpon Baruch the
Scrybe, û vpon Jeremp the Prophete: but
the Loode kepte the out of fyght. After now
that the kynge had brent the boke, û the ſer-
mons whych Baruch wrotë at the mouth of
Jeremp: The word of the Loode came vnto
Jeremp, sayinge: Take another boke, and
& wypte in it al û for sayde ſermess. û were
wyptt in the fyſt boke, whych Iehoakim
the kynge of Iuda hath brente.

G

And tell Iehoakim û kynge of Iuda: thus
ſayeth the Loode: thou haſt brête the boke, û
thoughtest within the ſelk: Ûwh haſt thou
wryten therin, that the kynge of Babylon
hall come, and make thys lande wale: so û
he shall make both people & catell to be out
of it: Therefore thus the Lord ſayeth of Ie-
hoakim û kynge of Iuda: * There shall none
of hys generacyon ſyt vpon the thone of
Daud. Hys deed corſe malbe caſt out, that
the heate of the dave, û the kroſt of the myght

Czedekiah succedeth Lo'ontah. He sendeth vnto Je-
tempeto piaye for hym. Jeremy golinge into the land
of Ben Jamin, is taken. He is beaten, & put in prizon.
He is delpuered by kynge zedekiah.

Edekiah y sonne of Josiah* wych
was made kynge thorow Nabu-
chodonosor kynge of Babylon, rei-
gned in y lade of Juda, in the steade
of Conomiah y sonne of Jehoakim. But ne-
ther he, ner hys seruanntes, ner the people in
the lad wold obe ye the words of the Lord,
whych he spake by the Prophet Jeremy.

* Jere. xxi. a.
&. cxxxii. a.

* Neuerthelelle, zedekiah the kynge sent Je-
hucal the sonne of Selemiah & Sophoniah
the sonne of Waaliah the Drest to the Pro-
phet Jeremy, sayig: D pize thou vnto the
Lord our God for vs Now Jeremy walked
fre amonge the people at y tyme, & was not
put in prizon as yet. * Pharaos holke also
was come out of Egygte: wych when the
Caldees that beleged Jerusalem perceaued,
they departed from thence.

*Ezek. xxiij. b.

Then came the word of the Lo'de vnto
Jeremy the Prophet, saying: Thus sayeth
the Lo'de God of Israel, thys answere thal
pe gene to the kynge of Juda, that sent you
unto me for councell: * Beholde, Pharaos
holke which is come for th to helpe you, shall
returne to Egypte in to his a wne lande: but
the Caldees shall come agayne, and fyght
agaynst thys cytie, wynne it, and let fyrze
upon it. For thus sayeth the Lo'd. Dyseane
not you re a wne myndes, thynckyg on this
maner: tuth, the Caldees go now their waye
from vs. No, thep shall not go their waye.
For though ye had slayne the whole holke
of the Caldees, that belege you, and euerp
one of the slayne laye in his tente, yet sulde
they stande vp, and let fyrze upon thys cyte.
Now when the holke of the Caldees was
broken vp from Jerusalem, for keare of the
Egypcyans armye, Jeremy went out of Je-
ruhalem towarde the lande of Ben Jamin,
to get hym from amonge the people. And
when he came vnder Ben Jampys pozte,

*Jer. xlvii. c.

there was a porter, called Jeriah, the sonne
of Selemiah y sonne of * Hanamah, whych
fel upon him, & toke him saying: thy mynde
is torunne to the Caldees. Then sayde Jer-
mp: It is not so, I go not to y Caldees. Ne-

uertheles, Jeriah wolde not beleue hym, but
brought Jeremy bounde before the Princes
wherefore the Prices were angrye with Je-
remp, and smote him, and lapped hym in prze-
son in the house of Jonathas the scribe. Ikoz
he was the rular of the prizon. Thus was
Jeremy put in to the Dongeon and prizon, &
so laye there a longe tyme. * Then zedekiah
the kynge sent for him, and called him, and af-
ked hym quyetly in hys a wne house, saying:
thynkest thou thys busines (that now is in
hande) commeth of the Lo'de: Jeremy anf-
wered: pee, that it doth: and thou (sayed he)
thalt be delpuered into the kynge of Babyl-
lons power.

*Jer. rrr.
viii. 6,
D

Moreouer, Jeremy sayde vnto kynge ze-
dekiah: What haue I offended agaynst the,
agaynst thp seruautes, or agaynst thys peo-
ple, that ye haue put me in prizon ? * Where
are your prophetes whych haue prophecyped
unto you, & sayde, that the kynge of Babyl-\lon chulde not come agaynst you & this lade?
And theroze heare now, Dmp Lo'de the
kynge: let my prayer be accepte before the,
and lende me nomize into the house of Jo-
nathas the Scrybe, that I dye not there.
Then zedekiah the kynge commaunded to put
Jeremy in the fozze entree of the prizon, and
dayly to be geuen hym a cake of bred, vntyll
all the bzed in the cyte was eaten vp. Thus
Jeremy remapned in the fozze entry in the
prizon.

TBy the motion of the rulers Jeremy is put into a
dongeon. Arche request of Andromède the Cham-
berlapue, the hygion commandeth Jeremy to be brought
forth of the Dongeon. Jerepe Heweth the Kynge
how he might escape death.

Aphatiah the Sonne of Nathan,
Godoliah the Sonne of Phasphur,
Jucal the Sonne of Semeliah, and
Phachur y Sonne of Melchiah per-
ceaued the wordes, that Jeremy had spoken
unto all the people, namely on thys maner:
Thus sayeth the Lo'd.* Who for remapneth
in this cytie, chal perchis, ether wyth the swe-
arde, wyth honger or wyth the peftilence:
But who so falleth vnto the Caldees, chal

cyte (no doute) must be delpuered into the
power of the kynge of Babylon, & he also
chall wynne it. Then sayde the prynces un-
to the kynge: Sp, we belege you let thys
mã be put to death. Ikoz thus he diforageth
the handes of the louvers that be in this cy-
tic, & the handes of all the people, when he
speaketh soch wordes vnto them. This man
vere ly laboureth not for peace of the people,

Melchiah the sonne of Hamelech, that dwelt
in the fore entre of the preſon. And theye left
downe Jeremy with coardes into a døges,
where there was no water, but myre. So
Jeremy ſtack kaff in the myre. Now when
Abedmelech the Morian beyng a chamber-
layne in the kynge courte, underkode, that
they had caſt Jerermp into the dongeon: he
went out of the kynge houſe, ſpake to the
kynge, (whych then ſat under the poorte of
Ben Jamin) these woodes: Wp lorde þ kige,
where as these men medle wyth Jeremy the
prophet, they do hym wronge: Namely, in
that they haue put hym in preſon, there to
dye of honger, for there is no more bred in þ
cytie. Then the kynge commaunded Abed-
melech the Morian and layde: Take from
hece. xxx. men whom thou wilt, & drawe vp
Jeremp the prophet out of the dongeon, be-
fore he dye. So A bedmelech toke the men w
hym, & went to the houſe of the kynge, & there
under an almyd he gatt olde ragges & woz-
ne cloutes, & lett them downe vp a coarde,
into the dongeon to Jeremp.

And Abedmelech þ Morian layde vnto
the prophet Jeremp: D. put these ragges ad
cloutes under thyne arme holes, betwpxte
them and the coardes: & Jeremp dyd so. So
they drie we vp Jeremp with coardes & toke
him out of the døges, & he remayned in the
fore entrie of the preſon. Then * zedekiah
the kynge ſent & cauſed Jeremp the p[ro]phet
to be called vnto him, in to þ thirde entrie, þ
is in the houſe of the Lo[de]. And the kynge
kayde vnto Jeremp: I will aſke þ some what
but hyde nothinge fro me. Then Jeremp an-
swerde zedekiah: Pk I be playne vnto the,
þ wilt cauſe me to suffre death: I[f] I gene þ
councel, thou w[ill]t not folowe me. So the
kynge swoze an ooth fecterly vnto Jeremp,
layenge: As truly as the Lo[de] lyeth, that
made vs these koules, I will not slaye the, ner
gene the in to the handes of them that seke
after thy lyfe.

Then ſapc de Jerempe vnto zedekiah:
Thus faitheth the Lo[de] of hooſtes the God of
Israel: * I[f] caſe be, that thou wilt go for[th]
unto the kynge of Babylons pr[ince]s, thou
halt ſaue thy lyke, and this cytie chalt not

then chall thys cytie be deſuere[ed in to the
handes of the Caldees, whych chall let ſpye

And zedekiah layde vnto Jeremp. I am a-
krayde for the Jewes, that are ſled vnto the
Caldees, left I come in their hâdes, & so they
to haue me in derition.

But Jeremy anſwerde: No, they chal not
betraye the: Dherken vnto the voyce of the
Lord (I deſeche the) which I ſpake vnto þ,

ſo chalt thou be well, and ſaue thy lyke. But
pk thou wilt not go for[th], þ Lord hath toſe
me thys playnelp: Beholde, all the wemen þ
are left in the kynge of Judæas houſe, chall
go out to þ kynge of Babylons pr[ince]s. Ko[
they thinke, that thou art diſeaued: Æ that

their handes, but chalt be the kynge of Ba-
bylons pr[ioner], & this cytie chalt thou cauſe
to be b[iet]. Then ſapc de zedekiah vnto Jere-
me: loke þ no body knowe of these woodes,
& thou chalt not dye. But pk the pr[ince]s per-
ceane, þ I haue taſked with the, & come vnto
the, ſap[eg]e: D speake, what ſapc de the kynge

his is the maner how the Lozde in-
treated Jerempy, * when Nabuzara-
dan the cheſe Captayne had let him
go fre frō Ramah, whyther he had led hym
bounde amonge all the preſoners, that were
carped from Jeruſalem & Juda vnto Bab-
lon. The cheſe captayne called for Jerempy,
and ſap de vnto hym: The Lozde thy God
tpake myghtely befoze of the mpſery upon
thys place: Now the Lozde had lent it, & per-
fourmed it as he had p[ro]mpted: For ye haue
ſynned agaynſt the Lozde, & haue not bene
obedient vnto hys vopce, therkoze commeth
thys plage upon you. Beholde, I lowſe the

But þ thou wylt not go wyth me to Ba-
bylon, then remayne here. * Beholde, all the
lande is at the wyll, I ghe wher thou thinkeſt
conuenient & good for þ to abyde, there dwell.
If thou canſt not be conteut to dwell alone,
then remayne wyth Godoliah the ſonne of
Abicam, the ſonne of Saphan: * whom the
kynge of Babylon hath made gouernoure
ouer the cyties of Juda, and dwell with him
amōge the people, or remayne where ſoever
it p[le]aſeth the. So the cheſe Captayne gaue
him hys expenſes wyth arewarde, and let
him go. * The wěte Jeremp vnto Godoliah
the ſonne of Abikam to Wizpa, and dwelt
there wyth hym amōge the people that were
left in the lande.

Now when the captaynes of the Holſe of
Juda (whatw of their felowes were ſcatred
abzode on euery lyde in þ lande) vnderkode
þ the kynge of Babylon had made Godoliah,
þ ſonne of Abicam gouernoure in the land,
& þ mā, wyſe & chylde, yee, & the pooſe men in
the lande (that were not led captayne to Ba-
bylon) chuld be under his iuriſdiction: Thep
cam to Godoliah vnto Wizpa. Namely, J[]
mael þ ſonne of Nathaniah, Johanan & Jo-
nathah þ ſonnes of Careah, Sareah þ ſonne
of Thanhometh, the ſonnes of Dphai þ Ne-
tophathite, J[]esaniah þ ſonne of Maachati,
with their companions. And Godoliah the
ſonne of Abicam, þ ſonne of Saphan, swor[e]
vnto them and their felowes in thys maner:
* Be not aſkrayed to ſerue þ Caldees, dwell
in the lande, and do the kynge of Babylon
ſeruyce, so that ye p[ro]spere. Beholde, I dwel

halfe, & to ſatikye soch as come to vs. Ther-
koze gather you wyne, corne and ople, and
kepe them in youre ware houſes, & dwelt in
youre cyties that ye haue in keping.

Yee, all the J[]ewes also þ dwelt in Moab
under the Ammonites, in J[]dumea & in all

red wyne & other frutes, & that very moch.

Moreouer, Johanan the ſonne of Careah

in Mízpa these words secretly: Let me go, I pray you, and I will slay Israelites of the house of Israel, that no body shall know me. When they come to your land, they shall not do it, for they are but slaves, that thou layest on them.

C The. xli. Chapter.

C Israelites of Godownah (gave fully, & many other ways) in Johanan (collected after Israel).

But in the seventh month it happened, that Israelites of the house of Israel (one of the kyrnges of the land) came thither, and they were greatest about the kyrng, and ten men were twozne with him: unto Godoliah the sonne of Ahicam to give them twozne to him, and he came up, and he spake to Godoliah the sonne of Ahicam the sonne of Saphan with the swearde, and he wept him, who the kyrng of Babylon had made governing of the lande. Israelites all the people that were with Godoliah at Mízpa, and all the Caldees that he founde there waptinge upon him.

The next day after that he had slayne Godoliah (the matter was yet unknowne) there came certaine men from Sichem, from Siloh & Samaria, to the name of Ixxx. whych had hauen their beards, rent their clothes, & were all heupe, bringing meat of kyrnges, and incense in their hâdes, to offer it in the house of the Lord. And Israel the sonne of Nathaniah went forth of Mízpa; we pinge, to meet them. Now when he met the, he layde: Go you come way to Godoliah, sonne of Ahicam. And when they came in the myddest of the ctye, Israel the sonne of Nathaniah (with the that were twozne unto him) came them, even at the myddest of the ppt. Amos these Ixxx. men there were ten, that layde unto Israel: That slay us not, for we have yet a great treasure in the kelde, of wheat, barley, oyle & hony. So he spared the, and wele them not with their breath. Now the *ppt wherein Israel dyd cast it deed bozdes of the men (whom he slewe because of Godoliah) had kyrge Asa caused to be made, for keare of Baalas the kyrge of Israel, and the same ppt dyd Israel fly to slay men. As for the remaunt of the people, the kyrnges daughters and all the people that were yet left at Mízpa, upon whom *Abufaradan the chiefe Captayne had made Godoliah the sonne of Ahicam governing: Israel the sonne of Nathaniah carried them awaye plesoners towarde the Ammonites. But when Johanan the sonne of Careah and all they

whych had bene captaynes ouer the kyrnges of Israel with him, herde of all the wpeknednes of Israel the sonne of Nathaniah had done: * they toke their companons, & went out for to flyght wyth Israelites the sonne of Nathaniah, & founde him by the great waters that are in Gibeon. Now when all the people, whom Israel led captive, sawe Johanan the sonne of Careah & all other Captaynes of the Hoste, they were glad. So all the people of Israel had carved awaye from Mízpa, were brought awaye.

And when they returned, they came to Johanan the sonne of Careah. But Israel the sonne of Nathaniah fled from Johanan wyth eyght of his twozne companons, & wente to the Ammonites. Then Johanan the sonne of Careah & all the captaynes of the Hoste that were with him, toke all the remaunt of the people, who Israel the sonne of Nathaniah had led awaye (when he had slayne Godoliah the sonne of Ahicam) whom they also had rescued from him: fighting men, women & children, & gelded men, whom they brought awaye from Gibeon: and were from thêce, & sat thê downe at Geruth Camaam, whych lieth before the King of Egypt: * that they might go into Egypt, for keare of the Caldees: of whom they were akayed, because of Israel the sonne of Nathaniah had slayne Godoliah Abikam's sonne: who the kyrng of Babylon had made governing in the lande.

C The. xlii. Chapter.

C The Captaynesake the councell of Jeremre what they ought to do. Jeremre monrethich the remaunt of the people not to go into Egypt.

All the captaynes, and Johanan the sonne of Barcah, Jezaniah the sonne of Okapah came with all the people from the left unto the most, & layde unto Jeremy the prophet. * Sheare oure peticion, that thou mayest layde for us unto the Lord thy God, namely, for all the remaunt, wher of there be very fewe of us left of many, as for left us: the Lord, thy God may shew us awaye to go i, & tell us, what we shall do. Then Jeremy the Prophet layde unto the: He have herde you. Beholde, I will layde unto God you the Lord, as he have required me: and loke what ant were the Lord geneth you, I shall certify you thereof, and kepe noethig backe from you. And they layde unto Jeremy. * The Lord of truth and faithfulness be our record, & we will do all that the Lord thy God com saundeth us, whether it be good or ill. We will herbe unto your voyce of our Lord God to whom we sende the, that we maye plospere, when we have followed your voyce of the Lord our God.

people that were with him: pee, and all the
people from the left to the moost, and layde
unto them: Thus layeth the Lord God of
Israel unto whom ye sent me, to laye forth
your prayers before him: * If ye will dwell in
this lande, I shall buylde you up, and not
breake you downe: I shall plante you, and
not vote you out: for I revent, as concer-
nynge the trouble that I haue done to you.
I keare not the kynge of Babylon, of whom
ye kande in ane: D, be not akraped of him,
layeth the Lord: for I will be with you, to
helpe you, & delpuer you from his hande. I
will pardon you, I will haue mercp upon
you, &d bring you agayne into your awne
lande.

C

Neuertheles, if ye purpose not to dwell
in this lande, nor to folowe the voyce of the
Lorde youre God: but will laye thus, we
will not dwell here, but go into Egypte:
where we shall nether ke warre, heare your noyle
of the trompe, nor suffee honger, there will
we dwell. Wherfore, heare now your word of
the Lorde, D ye remaunt of Juda. * Thus
layeth your Lorde of hoostes the God of Israel:
If ye be wholy purpofed to go into Egypte,
and to be there as kraungers: * the Swearde
that ye feared, shall ouer take you i Egypte:
&d your honger wherof ye be here akraped shall
hange upon you & folowe you into Egypte,
and there ye shall dye. And all they, that
of left purpose undertake to go into Egypte,
to fogourne there, that perth with the Iw-
arde, wyth honger and pestilence: not one of
them shall remayne, there shall none escape
the plage, that I will brynge upon them.

*Iere. xlvii. a

*Iere. xlii. c

If so, thus layeth the Lorde of hoostes the
God of Israel: lyke as my wath and indy-
gnacyon is moued, agapnit in habituatours
of Jerusale, so that my displeasure be kpynd-
led agapnit you also, if ye go into Egypte: &
there ye shall be reuyled, abhozred, bzought to
shame and confusion: and as for this place,
ye shall neuer ke it more. The Lorde kozbyd-
eth you (Dye remaunt of Juda, that ye
shall not go in to Egypte.

D

And forget not that I haue warned you
carefully this dape, for he haue disfèbled w
me. * For ye sent me unto the Lorde youre
God, and layde: D praye thou the Lord oure
God for vs: and loke what answere your Lorde
oure God geueth you, that brynge vs agayne,
and we shall do ther after. Now haue I the-
wed, and declared unto you the voyce of the
Lord youre God, for the which cause he hath
sent me to you. Now therefore, * If ye will
not folowe it, belure, if ye shall perpely with
the Swearde, with honger & pestilence: euen

Dw when Jeremp had ended all your
words of the Lorde his God unto
the people (for their fakes to who
God had sent him) Asariah your Sonne
of Dsatah, & Johanan the Sonne of Rareah
with all your proude personnes, layde unto Je-
remp: * Thou lyest, your Lorde oure God hath
not sent you to laye unto us, that we childe
not go into Egypte, and dwell there: But
Baruch the Sonne of Aeriah prouoketh the
agapnit vs, that he myght brynge vs into

So Johanan the Sonne of Rareah, and
all the captaynes of the hooste, and all your
people followed not the commandement of the
Lorde: Namely, to dwell in the lande of Ju-
da: But Johanan the Sonne of Rareah, and
all your captaynes of the hooste, carped a wape
all the remaunt in Juda, * that were come
togethier agayne from all the Hepthe (amde
whom they had bene scatred) to dwell in the
lande of Iuda: Men, wemen, children, the
kynoes daughters: all that Rabuza-
radan the chefe captayne had left with Go-
doliah the Sonne of Abikam, your Sonne of Sa-
phan. They carped a wape also the prophet
Jeremp, Baruch the Sonne of Aeriah, to lo-
came into Egypte: for they were not obe-
dient, unto the commandement of God.
Thus came thep to Thaphnis.

happened unto Jeremp, saying: Take great
Kones in thyne hande, and hyde them in the
hynch wall, under your doze of Pharaos houfe
in Thaphnis, that all the men of Iuda maye
ke, and laye unto the: Thus layeth your Lord of
hoostes your God of Israel: * Beholde, I will
fende &d call for: Nabuchodonofor your kynge
of Babylon my seruant, & will seth his leate
upon these Kones that I haue hyd, & he shall
lpynde his tente ouer them.

And when he commeth, he shall simple the
lande of Egypte, some with slaughter, some
with presonment, and some with hy swearde.
He shall set hye upon the teples of the Egyp-
tians goddes, and burne them up, & take the
selves preioners. Woeouer, he shall arape
him self with the lande of Egypte, lyke as a
thepherde putteth on his cote, and shall de-
parte his wape from thece in peace. The pp-
pers also of the temple of the Sunne is
in Egypte: shall he breake in peces, &d burne

I am set vpon thy lyke a Ceder vpon Libanus, and as a Cypers tree vpon my mount Hermó. I am exalted like a palme tree in Caes, & as a rose plante in Jericho: As a fayre Olyue tree in the felde, & am exalted like as a planteyne tree by thy water lyde. I haue geneè a smell in the stretes, as the Cynamon & Balme, that hath so good a fauoure: yee a swete odoure haue I geuen as it were Myze of the beeſt.

I haue made my dwellynges to smell as it were of roſin, Galbanum, of Clowes, and Incense, and as Libanus when it is not hewen downe, and myne odoure is as the pure Balme. As the Terebynte haue I stretched out my bzaunches, and my bzauches are the bzaunches of honoure & louynge fauoure. * As the vyne haue I brought forth frute of a swete fauoure, and my floures are the frute of honoure and ryches. I am the mother of bewtpe, of loue, of keare, of knowledge and of holy hope. * In me is all grace of lyke and trueth. In me is all hope of lyke and vertue. D come vnto me all ye that be despyous of me, and fyll your selues with my frutes: for my spretze is sweter then honp, and so is my inheritaunce moze then the honp combe: the remembraunce of me endureth for evermore. They that eate me, shall haue the moze hon ger: and they that dypncke me, shall thirteth thy more. Who so herkeneth vnto me, shall not come to confuſyon: & they that worke in me, shall not offende. They that make me to be knowne, shall haue euerlastynge lyke.

All these things are the boke of lyke, the couenaut of the Hyſt, and the knowledge of the trueth. * Holes cōmaunded the lawe in the preceptes of ryghteouñtes for an heri tage vnto the house of Jacob, and compted thy premples vnto Israel. * (Out of Da vid his ſeruaut he ordoned to raiſe vp a moſt my ghtie kinge, lyttying in the ſeat of honoure for evermore). * Thys ſyſſeth thy wypdome lyke as the floude of Phylson, and as the floude of Tygris, when the new frutes are a growynge.

Thys hryngeth a plentous underkan ding lyke Euphrates: & filleth it vp, as Joz dane in the ryme of harueſt. Thys maketh nourture to breake forth as the lyght, & as thy water Gyhon in the harueſt. The first hath not knowne her perſectly, nomoze shall the

laste keſe out your ground of her. For her thought is fuller then the ſee, and her councell is p ro founder then the greate depe.

I wypdome haue cast out floudes. I am as a great water, where out of the river. I am as the river Dozit, and as a water condyte am I come out of the garden of pleasure. I layde: I wyp the water the garden of my flouge plantes, and fyll the frute of my byſth. So my water, where became excedyng e great, and my euer appoched vnto the ſee. For I make doctrine to be vnto all men as lyght as the fayre mornyng, and I shall make it to be euer the clearer. I wyp pearle vpon all the lower partes of the earthe, I wyp loke upon all soch as be a lepe, and lighten all the that put they truſt in the Loode. I shall yet pouse out doctrine, lyke as prophesye, and leane it vnto soch as keſe after wypdome, ad their generacions shall I neuer layle, vnto the holy euerlasting world. * Behold, how that I haue not laboured for my selfe onely, but for all them that keſe after the treuth.

The keare of God hath let it selfe above all
thynges. Blested is the man, unto whom it
is graunted to have the keare of God. Unto
who shall he be lyckened, that kepeth it fast:
The keare of God is the begynnynge of his
loue, and the begyninge of kayth is to cle-
ue fast unto it. The heuines of the hert is all
the punyment, and the wyckednes of a wo-
man goeth above all. All punishment & pla-
ge is nothynge in comparison of the plage of
the herte, euen so all wyckednes is nothynge
to the wckednesse of a woman.

What soevier happeneth unto a mā is no-
thynge in comparison of it, that his euell wpl-
lers do vnto him: and all vengeaunce is no
thynge to the vengeaunce of the enempe.

There is not a more wcked heade then
the head of the serpent, ſt there is no wath
abone þ' wath of a womā. * I wll rather
dwell with a lpon and dragon, then to kepe
houſe with a wcked wyke. The wcked-
nelle of a womā chaungeth her face, the chall
moffell her countenaunce as it were a Beare,
& as a ſack chal the chewe it amoge the neigh-
dours. Her hulbande is brought to chame
amonge his neighbours, and whé he heareth
it, it maketh him to lyghe. All wckednes is
but lytle to the wckednes of a woman, the
porcyon of the vngodly chall fall upon her..

Lyke as to clymme vp a sande waye is
to the fete of the aged, euen so is a wþc full
of wodes to a sylly quiete man. * Loke not
to narrowly vpò the bewyfe of a womā, left
thou be prouoked in desire towarde her. The
wath of a woman is diſhonoure and great
confusion. If a woman get the maftrie, then
is the contrary to her hulbande. A wcked
wyke maketh a loz' yberte, an heuy counte-
naunce and a deed woude. *( Weake hādes
and keble knees is a woman that hþr hulbād
is not the better for.) Of the woman came
the begyninge of lynne, Æd thozow her we
all are deed. Geue thy water no pallage, no
not a lytle, neither geue a wcked womā her
wpl. If the walcke not after thy bande, the
chall confounde the in the lyght of thy ene-
mies. Cut her of then from thy fleth, that the
do not alwaye abufe the.

C The þe pæle of a good woman. If the keare of the
thynges and of the fourth. If the Jelouze and dron-
then woman. If two thynges that cause lówe,
and of the thylde which moueth wath.

A ppe is the man that hath a
verte ous wyke, for the nombre
of his pears chalbe dubble. An
honest woman maketh her hul-
bande a ioyfull mā, Æd the chall
fyll þ' pears of his lyke in peace. A verte ous
woman is a noble gyft, which chalbe geuen

foz a good porcion vnto soch as keare God:
Whether a man be rych or pooe, he maye ha-
ue euere a mery herte, and a chearkull counte-
naunce. There be thre thynges that my hert
keareth, and my face is alrayed of þ' fourth.
Trealon in a cytie, a sedicious people, and
noysome tonges, all theſe are heuver theſe
death. But whé one is gelous ouer his wy-
ke, it bryngeth papne and ſozowe vnto the
herte, and a woman that telleth out all tbin-
ges, is a ſcourge of the tüge. When one hath
an euell wyke, it is euen as when an vnlýke
papze of oxen muſt drawe together, * þ' e þ
getteth her, getteth a ſcorpyon. A droncken
woman is a greate plage, foz the cannot co-
uer her awne chame.

The whoz dome of a woman mape be
knowe in the pæde of her eyes & eye lyydes.
* If thy daughter be not chamekast, holde
her straptly, left the abuse her selfe thozow
ouermochlyberte. Bewarre of all the ditho-
neſtye of her eyes, and maruell not þk the do
agaynst the. Lyke as one that goeth by the
waye is thirstie, so chal the open her mouth
and dypncke of euery nexte water that the
mape get. By euery hedge chall the ſyt her
downe, and open her quuper agaynst euery
arowe. A louynge wyke reioyleth her hul-
bande, and fedeth his bones with her wpl-
dome. A womā of kewe wodes is a gykte of
God, and to al well nurtured mpendes mape
nothinge be compared.

An honest and manerly woman is a gyſt
aboue other gyſtes, and there is no weight
to be compared, vnto a mpnde that can rule
it ſelke. Lyke as the Sunne when it apyſeth,
is an ornament in the hye heaué of the Loſd,
ſo is a verteous wyſe the bewyſe of all her
houſe. Lyke as the cleare lyght is upon þ' ho
ly ædelſtick, ſo is the bewtie of the face vpò
an honest bodd. * Lyke as the golden pilers
are upon the ſockettes of ſlyuer, ſo are the
kapze legges upon a woman that hath a co-
ſtant mpnde. Perpetuall are the foundacions
that be laved upon a whole stonye roche, ſo
are the commaundementes of God upon þ'
hert of an holyp woman.

There be two things that greue my hert
and in the thylde is a displeasure come vpon
me. When an experte man of warre suffreth
ſcarſenes and pouerte. When men of under-
ſandynge & wpldome are not ſett by: And
when one departeth from ryghtheouſes vn-
to lynne. Who ſo doth ſoch, the Loſde hath
prepared him vnto þ' kwerde. There be two
maner of thynges, which me thyncke to be
herde and perpulous. A marchaunt can not
lyghtly kepe him from wonge, neither a ta-
uermer him ſelſe from lynne.

Some man there is, that can geue p[er]ſe and p[ra]dent councell, and yet is he ha-ted, and continueth a begger: for that grace is not geu[e] him of God, to be accepted.

But to the vngodly shall all these thynges

Hee copaſeth the heauen aboute with his clearnes and glorby, the hands of the Hpeſt haue bended it. Tho row hys commandement he maketh the snowe to fall, and the thonder of hys indgement to lмыt haſtly: Thozowe hys commandement the treasures are opened, and the cloudes flat as the foules.

When the colde Northwynde bloweth, harde Chypſall commeth of the water. He lyghteth downe upon all the gatheringes together of water, þ putteth on the waters as a bretſt plate.

The medicine of all theſe is, when a cloude commeth haſely: and whé a dewe commeth upon the heate, it chalbe refreshed agayne.

In hys word he stilleth the wynde: In hys councell he fetſeth the depe, (the Loode) Jesus planted it.

* chedew him his glorious power. * He ſta

and chose hym out of all men. For he her-

cloude, * and there he gaue him ſ comma-
dementes, yee the lawe of lyke and wpldo-
me that he might teach Jacob the couenaunt,
and Israel his lawes:

He chose Aaron hys brother also out of
the trybe of Leui, exalted him, Æ made him
koch lyke. * An euerlaſting couenaunt made
he with hym, and gaue hym the pzeſhode
in the people. He made him glorious in bew-

him, and gyzd him with ſtrength. He de-
ckte hym with ſyde clothes, and a tunycle,
with an ouerbody cote alſo and a gyzde.
Roude about made he him belles of golde,
and that many: * that when he wentin, the
kounde mygbt he herde, that they mygbt ma-
ke a nopſe in the Sanctuary, and gene the

people warnyngc. The holy garment was
wzought Æd broderd with golde, yalow ſyl-
cke and purple. And in the hestklappe there
was a goodly woſcke, wherein was fastened
lyght and perfectneſſe.

* Upon ſame also there was a woſcke ſa-
ſtened, Æd let with costly precious ſtones, all
bounde with golde : and this he brought in
hys ministracpon. The ſtones were falke-
ned for a remembraunce, after the nombe
of the twelue trybes of Israel. Upon hys
mytre there was a plate of pure golde, a gra-
uen pmage of holypnes, a famous and no-

and perſourme the ofſyce of the pzeſhode,
and wyphe the people good in hys name.
Before all men lyupnyge chose he him, that
he chulde offre incense before the Loſde, and
make odours for a ſwete ſauoure and re-

the katurtes and teſtimonies, and to enfour-
me Israel in hys lawe.

* Therfore there kode vp certayne agaynſt

nes : namely, they that were of Mathan,
and Abirams ſyde, and the furpyous congre-
gacyon of Choze. This the Loſde lawe, and
it displeased hym, and in hys wzothfull in-

C. * The Lorde toke awaye his synnes, and exalted his hozne for euuer. He gaue him the couenaunt of the kyrngdome, and the trone of worchyppe in Israel.* After hi there rose vp the wyle sonne called Salomon, and for his sake he droue the enempes awaye farre of This Salomò reigned vò peace in his tyme (for God gaue him rest from his enempes on euery fyde, þe myght buylde him an houſe in his name, and prepare the Sanctuary for euèr ) lyke as he was well instructe in hys pouth, and ſylled with wypdome and underſandinge, as it were with a water. Froude. He couered and ſylled the whole lande with ſimilitudes and wyle prudent ſentences.

D. Hys name wente abode in the Jles, becauſe of his peace he was beloved. All landes marueled at his ſoges, prouerbes, lymiſtudes, and at his peace, and at the name of the Lorde God, which is called the God of Israel.* He gathered golde as tynne, and he had as moch ſpluer as leade.* He was moued in inoſdinate lone towarde women, and was ouercome in affeccion. He stayned hys honoure and worchyppe, pee his posterpte deſyled he also, in bryngnge the wath of the Lorde vpon hys chyldezil, and foroze after his ioye : * so þis kyrngdome was deſupded, and Ephaſtaim became an onkaythfull, and an uncòſtat kyrngdome.* Neuertheles God forloke not his mercy, nether was he vterly deſtroyed because of his worckes, þe chulde leaue him no posterite.

E. As for þe ſede that came vpon him, which he loued, he brought it not utterly to naught but gaue þe a remauntaunt vnto Jacob, and a rote vnto David out of hyn. Thus rcfsted Salomon with his fathers, and out of hys ſede he left behynde hyn a very koolſynnes of the people, and ſoche one as had no underſtandnge: * euen, Roboam, which turned awaye the people thorow his councell, and Jeroboam the ſonne of Nabat, * which cauſed Israel to ſynne, and the wed Ephaſtaim þ wave of ungodlynes. In so moch that theyz synnes and myſdedes had the upper hande so forze, that at the last they were dryuen out of the lande for the fame: Pee he ſought out and brought vp all wyckednes, ſyll the vengeaunce came vpon them.

Thoro we the woode of the Lord he chut the heauen, * and the tymes brought he the fyze downe. Thus became Eliah honozaile in his wondrous dedes. Who maye make his boat to be lyke him: * One that was deed rapled he vp from death, and in the woode of the dyest he brought him oule of the graue agapne.* He caſt downe kinges & deſtroied them, and the honozaile from thez keate. Upon the mounte Syna he herde the pumpment, and upon Hozeb the iudgmet of the vengeaunce. He prophecied recompentinge unto kyrnges, * and ordeyned p[ro]pheteſes after hyn. * He was taken vp in the ſtoeme of fyze, in a charet of hozes of the Lorde. He was ordeined in the reſponynges in tyme to pacype the wath of þ Lord, * to turne the hertes of the fathers vnto the chyldzen, and to lett vp the trybes of Jacob agapne. Heſſed were they that law the, and were garnſhed in loue: for we lyue in lyke: (but after death we call hauc no luch name.)

* Elias was couered in the ſtoeme, but He-lysens was ſylled with his ſp[er]ete. Why he lyuod he was aſkaped of no p[ri]nce, and no man myght ouercome him. There could no woode diſcreaue him, * after his death his body prophecied. * He dyd wöders in his lyke, and in death were his workes maruelous. For all this, the people amended not, nether departed they from the[]pynnes: * ſyll they were caried awaye p[re]ſoners out of the lande, and were ſcatred abode in all countrees, so that of them there remayned, but a very lytle people, and a p[ri]nce vnto the houſe of David.

Immediately the Lord herde the out of heaué: (he thought nomoze vpon the[]pynnes, ner gaue them ouer to the[]p[re]enemyes:) but deſuered them by the hande of Elap. * He smote þ hooſt of the Assyrians, and his angell deſtroyed the.

And as for these plages that are come upon us all ready, the Lord had deposed them for us: yet wold we not pray unto the Lord our God, that we might enjoy manure from hisungs and ways. So the Lord hath caused such places to come upon us: for he is righteous in all his works, which he hath commanded us: which we also have not done, nor have heen unto his voice, for to walk in the commandments of the Lord, that he had been unto us.

upon him euery dape.rij.cakes.xl.chepe, and
lyre greate pottes of wyne. Hym dyp the
kynge worſchyp him ſelke, and wente daplve
to honour hym: but Daniel worſchIPPED his
awne God. And the kypg ſayde vnto hym:
Why doſt not ebon worſchyppe Bel? he an-
ſwered ſayde: * Because I maye not wor-
ſchyp thynges that be made wyth handes,
but the lyuynge God, which made heauè a-
earth, and hach power upon all fleſhe. The
kyng layde vnto hym: thinckest thou not, þ
Bell is a lyupnge God? Or leſt þ not how
moch he eateth ad dzyncketh euerp dape: Da-
niel ſmpled, and layde: Dkyng, diſceauc not

in, of metall wypthout, * nether eateth he
cuer any thynge.

Then the kynge was wroth, and called for
hys preſſes, and layde vnto them: If ye tell
me not who is thys, that eateth up these ex-
penses, ye shall dpe: but pk ye can certifie me,
that Bel eateth them, then Daniel shall dpe,
for he hath spoken blasphemyp agapſt Bel.
And Daniel ſayd vnto the kynge: let it ſo be:
accorſyng as thou haſt ſayde. The Preſſes
of Bel were.lxx. belde theyr wyues a chyl-
dren. And the kynge wente wyth Daniel in
to the temple of Bel. So Bels preſſes ſayd:
Lo, we wyll go out, and let thou the meate

there (D kynge) and poure in the wyne: then
hut the doze faſt, and ſeale it wyth thyne
awne ſygnet: and to morow whé thou com-
meſt in, pk thou kyndeſt not that Bel hath
eaten vp all, we wyll ſuffre death: or els Da-
niel, that hath lyed vpon vs. The preſſes
thought them ſelſes ſure ynough, for under
the aultare they had made a preuyp intraunce,
and there wente they in euer, & dyp eate vp
what there was.

So when they were gone forſt, the kypg
ſet meates before Bel. Now Daniel had co-
maunded hys ſeruauantes to kynge alſhes,
ſ these he lyſted thorow out all the temple,
that the kynge mygt le. Then wente they
out, and ſparred the doze, ſealyng it with the
kynge ſygnet, ad ſo departèd. In the night
came the preſſes with theſe wyues and chyl-
dren (as they were wòte to do) & dyp eate &
dzyncke vp all. In the mornnyng by tymes at
the hæake of the dape, the kynge arose, and
Daniel wyth hym. And the kynge ſayd: Da-
niel, are the ſcales whole yet? He anſwered:
Per (Dkyng) they be whole. Now as Soone
as he had opened þ doze, the kypg looked vn
to the aultare, and cryed wyth a loude vop-
ce: Greate art thou D Bel, & wyth the is no
diſceate. The ſaughed Daniel, and helde the
kynge that he chulde not go in, and ſayd: Be
holde the pa Avenue, marche well, whole ko-
tekeppes are these: The kypg ſayde: I ſc the
kotekeppes of men, wemen and chylben.

Therfore the kynge was angrpe, and to-
ke the preſſes, wyth theſe wyues and chyl-
dren, and the ſhewed hym the preuyp dozes,
where they came in, & dyp eate vp loch thy-
ges as were vpthe aultare. For the whych

Antiochus subdueth Egypte and Jerusaleme vnto his dominions. Jerusaleme beynge burnt vnto the lawes of her awne, and forbyddeth to kepe Goddes lawes. Antiochus senteth vp an Iole ouer the auiter of God.

kled: and many of hys people were wounded
to death. Thus Antiochus wâne manyp strö-
ge cpties, âd toke awaye greate good out of
the lande of Egypte.

* And after that Antiochus had smytten C
Egypt, he turned agayne in the Chriij. pea-
re, & wente towarde Israel, & came vp to Je-
rusaleme with a mygbte people: & entred prou-
dly in to the Sanctuary, and toke awaye þ
golden altare, the cadyltyche and all the oz-
namentes therof, the table of the chwred,
the pourpny vessel, the chargers, the golden
ſpones, the vayle, þ crownes, and golden ap-
parell of the temple, & dzake downe all. He
toke alio the ſyluer & golde, the precious Je-
wels, & the ſecrete treaures that he kounde.
And when he had taken awaye all together,
cauſed a greate murthur of men, and so ful-
kplled his malicious pzyde, he departed into
hys awne lande.

Thus there arose greate henynesse and
misery i al the lande of Israel.* The princes
& the elders of the people mourned, the pon-
gemen and the maydens were dekpled, and
the kape beutpe of wemen was chaunged:
the brydegrome and the hryde toke them
to mournpnge: the lande and those that dwelt
theryn, was moued: for all the houſe of Ja-
cob was brought to conſulfion.

* After two yeres the kynge ſent hys cheke treasurer vnto þ cities of Juda, whych came to Jerusaleme with a great multitude of people, speakinge peaceable wordes vnto them but all was diſeate: for whâ thep had genue hym credence, he ſel ſodenly upon the cptie, & ſmote it ſoze, and deſtroped moch people of Israel. * And when he had spoyled the citie, he ſet ſyze on it, calypnge downe houſes and walles on euery ſpde.

And thys was done to lape wayte for the
people that went into the Sanctuary, and
for the cruell deſtrucction of Israel. Thus
they ched innocent bloude on euery ſpde of
Sanctuary, and deſyled it: In ſo moch that

kyght agapnſt them in the Sabbath dape, &
ſayde: Wyll ye yet rebell: Get you hence, and
do the commaundemèt of kypng Antiochus,
&d ye chall lyue. They anſwered: * We wpl
not go forth, nether wyll we do the kypnges
co maundemèt, to deſyle the Sabbath dape.
Then beganne they to kyght agapnſt them,
neuertheſſe they gaue them none other an-

ſwere, nether caſt they one ſone at them, ne
made ſaſt they? preuſp places, but ſayde: We
wpl dye all in oure innocency, heauen and
earth chall teſtſkye wypth vs, that ye put vs
to death wongeouſly. Thus they fought a-
gapnſt them vpon the Sabbath, and Ilewe
both men & catell, they? wypues & their chyl-
dren, to the nombre of a thouande people.

When Mathathias and hys ſtrendes herde
thys, they mourned for their wypth ſoze, and
ſayde one to another: Iſo be that we all do
as oure brathen haue done, ad kyght not for-
oure lyues & for our lawes agapnſt the Hea-
then: then chall they the ſoner rote vs out of
the earth. So they concluded amonge the ſel
ues at the fame tyme, ſapenge: Whatſoever
he be that commeth to make battayl wypth
vs vpon the Sabbath dape, we wpl kyght
agapnſt him, & not dye all, as oure brathen
were murthured so hapnouſl. Upon thys
came the Synagoge of the Jewes vnto the
ſtronge men of Israel, all ſoch as were ſer-
uent in the lawe. And all they that were ſled
for perſecucion, came to helpe them, and to
ſtande by them: In ſo moch that they gathe-
red an hoofft of men, and ſlewe the wycked
doers in they? gelouſy, and the ungodly mè
in their wath. Some of the wicked ſled vn-
to the Heathen, and eſcaped.

Thus Mathathias & hys ſtrendes wente
aboute, and deſtroyed the auſters, and circu-
cyſed the chyldren, that had not yet receaued
circuſion: as manp as they ſoude wythin
the coſtes of Israel: and folowed mygbhtelp
vpon the chyldre of ppyde, and this acte pzo-
ſpered in their hands: In ſo moch, that they
kepte the lawe agapnſt the power of the Ge-
tiles ad the kypnges, and gaue not ouer their
dompniion vnto wycked doers.

After thys when the tyme dze we on ſaſt,
that Mathathias chulde dye, he ſayde vnto
hys ſonnes: Now is ppyde and perſecucion
increased, now is the tyme of deſtruccyon ad
wath full dyspleaſure: wherefore (Dmp ſon

At the Ch. peare came Demetrius
the londe of Seleucus from the cy-

of men, unto a cytie of the fee coaſt,
& there he bare rule. And it chaunced, þ whé
he came to Antioche the cytie of his Proge-
nitours, his hooſ toke Antiochus & Lysias,
to brynge them unto hym. But whé it was
tolde hym, he layde: let me not ke theyr faces.
So the hooſ put them to death. Now when
Demetrius was let upon the trone of hys
kyngdome, there came unto him wycked Æd
vingodly mé of Israel: whose captayne was
Alcimus, that wolde haue bene made hye
preſte: These men accuſed þ people of Israel

Then the kynge chose Bachides a frende

the deſtruccion that Judas had done. And
as for that wycked Alcimus, he made hym
hye preſt, and commaunded hym to be auen-
ged of the chyldren of Israel. So they ſtode
vp, and came wyth a greate hooſ into the

After this came the ſcribes together unto
Alcimus & Bachides, truſtynge the best un-
to them. And fyrſt the Allideans reequyzed
peace of them, layinge: Alcimus the preſte is
come of the ſede of Aaró, how can he diſcea-
ue vs? So they gaue the louynge words,
& ſwoze vnto them, & layde: we wil do you
no harme: neither your frédes: & they beleued
them. But the very same daye toke they. Ir.
men of them & ſle we them according to the
worde that are wypten: * They haue caſt
the ſteth of thy ſaynctes, & ched their bloude
troude about Jeruſalem, & there was no ma-
þ wolde burp them. So there came a greate
keare & drie de amonge the people, layenge:
there is neither treuth nor rygbteouſneſſe in
the, for they haue broken the appoyntement
of the that they made. And Bachides remo-
ued his hooſ from Jeruſalem, and ppyched

hys tente at Betzecha: where he ſent forſt, &
toke many of them that had forſaken hym:
He ſlewe many of the people alſo, and caſt
them into a greate ppſt. Then commytted
he the lande vnto Alcimus, and left men of
warre wyth hym to helpe hym, & Bachides
him ſelwé vnto the kynge. And thus Al-
cimus defended his hye preſt(hode: Æd all ſoch
as vered Israel reſoſt vnto hym: In ſo
moch that they oprapned the lande of Juda,
& dyd moch euell vnto the Israelites.

Now when Judas kawe all the myſchefe
that Alcimus and hys cöpany had done (pee
more then the Heathé them ſelues) vnto the
Israelites: He wente forſt rounde about al
the borders of Jewip, and punyched thole
unkaythfull rennagates, so that they came
nomozé out into the countre. So when Al-
cimus kawe, that Judas and hys people had
gotten the upperhande, and that he was not
able to abyde them: he wente agayne to the
kynge, and layde all the worſt of them that
he coulde. Then the kypg ſent Alcanor, one
of hys cheke prynces (whych bare euell wyll
unto Israel) and commaunded hym, that he
chulde utterly deſtroye the people.

* So Alcanor came to Jeruſalem with a
greate hooſ, and ſent vnto Judas and his
bethen wyth friendly words (but under
diſceate) layenge: there shall be no warre be-
twixt me Æd you: I will come with a ſewe
men, to ke how ye do, wyth kredhipe. Upon
thys he came vnto Judas, and they saluted
one another peaceably: but þ enemyes were
appoynted to take Judas by violence. Ne-
uertheles it was tolde Judas, that he came
unto hym but under diſceate: wherfore he
gat hym awape from hym, & wolde ke hys
face nomozé. When Alcanor perceaued that
hys councel was bewrayed, he went out to
kight agaynſt Judas, belyde Capharlama-
la: where there were slayne of Alcanor's
hooſ, v. 4). men: and the reſpuek ſled vnto
the caſſell of David.

After this came Alcanor vp unto mount
Sion: and the preſtes wyth the elders of the
people wente forſt to falute him peaceably,
& to chewe him the burntſacrifices that we-
re offered for the kypg. But he laughed the
and the people to ſcortne, mocked them, defi-
led theyr offeriges, & spake diſdaynedly, yee

Wyth that, wente he out in agreat anger.
Then the preſtes came in, and ſtode before
the auſter of the temple, wepinge & layége.
* For so moch as thou (D Loſde) haſt cho-

And the matter pleased Y Romaynes right wel, wherfoze it was written up: of the whych the Romaynes made a wypinge in tables of brasse, and sent it to Jerusalem: that they might haue by them a memoriall of the same peace and bonde of frèdchip after this manner. God saue the Romaines & the people of Y Jewes both by se & by land, and kepe theeweard & enem from them for everemore. If there come first enp warre vp the Romaines or enp of their frèdes thowone one all their dominion, Y people of Y Jewes shall help them (as theyme requyeth) and that wail their hertes. Also they shall nether geue nofende unto their enemies vitayles, weapens, moneypner chipes: but fulfyll this charge at the Romaynes pleasure, and take nothyrng from them therfoze. Agayne yf the people of Y Jewes happè first to hane warre, the Romaynes shall stand by them with a good will, accordng as theyme will suffer. Nether shall they geue unto the Jewes enemyes, uptales, weapes, moneypner chipes. Thus are the Romaines content to do, and shall fulfyll they charge without eny disceate.

So they went forth by the waye that ledeth vnto Galgala, and pitched their tentes befoze Hesaloth which is in Arbellis, & wanne the cptye & le we moche people. In Y first moneth of Y.

Now Judas had pytched hys tente at

Layla, with thee thoukande chosen me. And when they saue the multytude of the other army that it was to greate, they were soze atrayed, and many couped them slues out of the hooft. In so moch that there abode no mo of them but eyght hundred men. When Judas saue that his hooft kapled hym, & that he must nedes fyght: it brake hys herte, that he had no tyme to gather them together: wherfoze the man was in extreme trouble. Neuerthelesse, he sapde vnto them, that remapned with hym. Up, lett vs go agapnst oure enemies, peraduenture we chalbe able, to fyght with them: But they wolde haue kopped hym, sapenge: we chall not be able, therfoze lett vs now oure lyues, ad turne agayne to our hzethen and then wyll we fyght agapnst the, for we are here but fewe. And Judas sapde: God fozbpd, Y thulde fle from them. Wherfoze, yf oure tyme be come, lett vs dye manfully for our hzethz, and lett vs not stayne oure honoure. Then the hooft remoued out of the tentes, and kofde agapnst them. The hozlmen are deuyded in two partes: the flying casters and archers wente before the hooft, and all the myghtype me were formost in the felde. Each of them selfe was in the ryght wpnge of the battayl, and the hooft dzewe npe in two partes, and blewe the trompettes. They of Judas lyde blewe the troypettes alfo, and the earth choke at the nople of the hooftes, and they stroke a felde from the morow wyll nyght. And whê Judas saue that Bachides hooft was kißged of the ryght lyde, he toke with hym all the hard men, and brake the ryght wpnge of their orde, and followed vpon them vnto the mount Azot.

Now whê they which were of Y left wig, saue that Y ryght lyde was disconfyte, they persecuted Judas & them that were w hym. Then was there a soze battaylle, for many were slayne and wôded of both the parties. Judas alfo hym selfe was kpled, and the renaunt fled. So Jonathas and Symon toke Judas the brother, and buryed hym in his fathers sepulchre in the cptye of Hodin. And all the people of Israel made greate lamentacion for hym, & mourned longe, sayenge: Alas, that thys wozthy childe be slayne, which delpuered the people of Israel. As for other thynges perteyninge to the battaylles of Judas, the noble actes that he dyd and of his wozthynesse: they are not wytten, for they were very many.

* And after the death of Judas, wyched men came vp in all the coastes of Israel, and there arose all soch as wozcke ungodlynesse. In thone dayes was there a greate dearthe in the lande, and all the countre gane ouer them selues and theirs vnto Bachides. So Bachydes chole wyched men, & made them lozdes

Jordes in the land. These sought out & made
search for Judas frèdes, and brought them
unto Bachides: which auëged hym self vpò
them with great despyte. And there came so
great trouble in Israel, as was not sens the
tyme that no prophete was sene there.

Then came all Judas frèdes together,
and sayde unto Jonathas: For so moch as
thy brother Judas is deed, there is none like
him to go forth agapnit our enemies, agait
Bachides, and soch as are a ducraries unto
oure people: Wherkoze thys daye we chose
the for hym, to be oure prince and captapne
to ordre oure battaille. And Jonathas toke
the gouernaunce upon hym at the same tp-
me, and ruled in steade of his brother Judas
When Bachides gatt knowledge therof, he
sought for toley hym. But Jonathas and
Symon his brother, perceauinge that, fled
into the wildernes of Thecua with all their
company, and pptched their tentes by þ wa-
tez pole of Alphar.

Which whê Bachides vnderstode, he ca-
me ouer Iozdane with all his hooft upon þ
Sabbath day. Now had Jonathas sent his
brother Ihon (a captapne of the people) to
paye his frendes the Nabuthites, that they
wolde lende them their ordinaunce, for they
had moch. So the chyldren of Jambry came
out of Madaba, and toke Ihon and all that
he had, and wente their waye withal. Then
came word unto Jonathas and Simo hys
brother, that the chyldren of Jambry made
a greate mariage, and brought the hride fro
Madaba with greate pompe: for the was
daughter to one of the noblest prynces of Ca-
naan. Wherkoze they vemembred the blouse
of Ihon their brother, and wente vp, and hid
them kelues vnder the chado we of the moi-
tayne.

So they lift vp their eyes, and loked: and
beholde, there was moch a do, and great re-
payre: for the bridegrome came forð, and hys
frendes and hys brithen met the with tym-
panyes, instrumètes of musikic, and many
weapes. Then Jonathas and they that we-
re with him, rose out of their lour kyng pla-
ces against them, and flewe many of them.
As for the remnaunt, they fled in to the mo-
untaynes, and they toke all their substaun-
ce. Thus the mariage was turned to moz-
ninge, and the noppe of their melody into la-
mentayon. And so when they had auenged
the blouse of their brother, they turned agay-
ne unto Iozdane.

Bachides hearynge thys, came unto the
very border of Iozdane with a great power
upon þ Sabbath daye. And Jonathas laid
to hys companpe, left vs get vp, and fyght
agapne our enemypes: for it stådeth not with
vs to dape, as in tyme paſt: Beholde, oure
enemypes are in our waye, the water of Ioz-

dane upon the one lyde of vs, with bankes,
kennes and woddes of the other lyde, so that
there is no place for vs to departe vnto.
* Wherkoze crie now vnto heauen, that ye
mape be deliuered fro the power of your ene-
mies. So they stroke þ battaylle. And Jona-
thas stretched out his hâdes to lymt Bachi-
des, but he fled bacwarde. Then Jonathas et
they that were with him leapte into Iozda-
ne, and swymned ouer Iozdane vnto hym,
and there were flapne of Bachides side that
daye, a thousande men.

Therkoze Bachydes with hys hooft tur-
ned agapne to Jerusale[m], and buplte vp the
castels and strong holdes that were in Jew-
rye, Jericho, Emaus, Bethoron, Bethell,
Thamnata, Phara and Topo, wóhte wal-

to kepe them, that they myght be they ma-

Gazarah and the castell at Jerusale[m] alfo,
that p[ro]vided them with me and vitayles. He to-
ke also the chefeſt més ſonnes in the countre
for pledges, and put them in the castell at Je-

Afterwarde in the hundred fiktp as the
peare in the secòde moneth, Alcimus comau-
ded, that the walles of the p[]nmost Sanctua-
ryp chuld be destroyed, and the buyldpnyces of
the propheters also. And when he begane to
destroye the, the thinges þe wêre aboute,
were hindered, for he was smitt with a pal-
ley, and his mouth chut, so that he could no-
moze lpeake ner commaüde enp of his houfe
concernynge his bulpynesse. Thus dyed Alci-
mus in greate myſery at the same tyme. And
whê Bachides sawe that Alcim⁹ was deed,
he turned agapne to the kyp, and so þ lande
was in reaſt two peares. Then all the vn-
godly men held a councell, ſapeng: Behold,
Jonathas and his company are at eafe, and
dwell without care. Wherkoze let vs bringe
Bachides hylther, and he shall take them all
in one myght.

So they wente and gaue Bachides this
councell, which aroſe to come with a greate
hooſt, and ſent lettres p[]zeuely to his adheré-
tes, which were i Jewrype, to take Jonathas
et those that were w him: but they myght not

When Bachides knewe thys, he gathered

them. Then purpoſed he with hys companp
to go awaye into hys a wne countre: wherof

conſented gladly, and dyd accorſynge to his

N the hundred and the ſcore peare
came Alexander the londe of noble
Antiochus and toke Stolomais,
whose cytesyns receaued hym, and
there he raygned. When Demetrius herde
therof, he gathered an exceeding great hoſt,
and went for th agaynſt him to kyght. Wher-
koze Demetrius ſent lettres vnto Jonathas
with louing words, and praysed him gre-
atly. For he ſayde: we will firſt make peace
with him, before he bynde him ſelke with Al-
leander against vs: els he shall remembre y
euell that we haue done agaynſt hym, hys
brother and his people. And so he gaue Jona-
thas leue to gather an hoſt, to make wea-
pens, and to be confederat with hym, ſ com-
mauded the pledges that were in the caſtell,
to be deliuered vnto hym.

Then came Jonathas to Jerusalem, and
red the letters in the audience of all the peo-
ple, and of them that were in the caſtell. And
therkoze were thep ſoze aſtraied, becauſe thep
herde, that the kynge had geuen hyn lyceence
B to gather an hoſt. Thus were the pledges
delpuered vnto Jonathas, whych restored

the to theyelders. Jonathas also dwelt at
Jerusalem, and beganne to buylde up to
repayre the cryptie: commaundng the worz-
men, to wall it, and the mount Sion round
aboute with free ſtone, to be a ſtronge holde,
and so they dyd. As for heathen that were
in ſcaſels which Bachides had made vp,
they fled: to that euery man left the place, and
went into his a wne coûtre. Only at Beth-
sura remapned certapne of y Jewes, whych
had for ſake the lawe and commaundemen-
tes of God, for Bethsura was their refuge.

Now when kynge Alexander herde of the
promples that Demetrius had made vnto
Jonathas, and when it was tode him of the
battels and noble actes, whych he and hys
beathen had done, and of the greate trauayl-
les that they had taken, he ſayde: where shall
we kynde ſocha man well, we wyll make
him our frende, and be confederat with him.
Upon this he wzote a lettre vnto hyn, with
these words: kynge Alexander saluteth his
brother Jonathas. We haue herde of y, that
thou art a valeaunt man, and mete to be our
frende: wherkoze thys dape we oſdepne the
to be the hye pzeſe of thy people, and to be
called the kynge frende. Upon this, he ſent
hym a purple clothynge, and a crowne of
golde) that thou mapeſt conſpize what is
for oure p[ro]ſyt, and kepe krendhyppe tow-
arde vs.

So in the ſeventh moneth of the hundred
and the ſcore peare vpon the ſolempne feast

ly rapment vpon hyn. Then gathered he an
hoſt, and made many weapés. Which whé
Demetrius herde, he was maruelous for y,
ſayde: Alas, what haue we done, that Ale-
ander hath p[re]euted vs in gettyng y fred-

So when the kyft was deed after thys
maner, they brought the leconde to haue him
in deryplys, pulled the skynne wych the hear-
re ouer hys heade, 4 alked hym, þ he wolde
eate swynes flech, or he were payned in the
other membres also thowoz out hys body.
But he answered boldly, and layde: I wyll
not do it. And so was he tormented lyke as þ
kyft, and when he was euen at the geupnge
up the gooll, he layde: Thou molt ungrac-
ous personne puttelt vs now to death, but þ
kyng of the worlde shall raple vs vp (which
dpe for hys lawes) in the resurrecio of euere-
lastynge lyke.

After hym, was the thynge had in dery-
syon: and whé he was requyf, he putt out
hys tonge, and that ryght loone, holdynge
forth hys handes manfully, and spake wych
a stedkast kayth: These haue I of heauen, but
now for the lawe of God I despyse them: for
my truſt is, that I shall receaue them of him
agayne. In so moch that the kynge and they
whych were wych hym, marueled at þ yóge
mans boldnesse, that he nothynge regarded
the papnes.

C

Now when he was deed also, they vered
the fourth wych tormentes in lyke maner.
So whé he was now at hys death, he layd:

It is better that we beypnge put to death of
men, haue oure hope and truſt in God, for he
chall raple vs vpagapyne.* As for the, thou
chalt haue no refurrecion to lyke.

*John u.c.*

And when they had spoken to the kyſch,
they toſented hym. The loked he unto the
kyng, 4 layd: thou haſt power amonge men,
for thou art a moſtall man also thy ſel, to do
what thou wylt, but thynke not, that God
hath for ſaken oure generacyon. A byde the,
tarp ſkyll a whyle, and thou chalt le the great
power of God, how he wyll pumpſ the and
thy ſede. After hym thep? hzought the lykte,
whych beypnge at the povnte of death, layd:
Be not diſſeaueſt. Dyking) for thys we ſuk-
ſte for our awne ſakes, because we haue offe
ded our God, 4 therfore maruelous thynges
are the wed upon vs. But thynke not thou,
whych takeſt i hâde to kryne agaynſt God,
that thou chalt eſcape unpunſhed.

This excellent mother (wozthy to be well
repor ted of, and had in remembraunce) ſa we
her ſeuen ſonnes dye in one daye, and ſuſred
it paciently, because of the hope that the had
in God: yee, the exhortèd euery one of them in
elspecyall, and that boldly 4 stedkafſly wych
parfyte wypdome, wakynge vp her wyupſ
thought wych a manly ſtomacke, and layde
unto them: I can not tell how pe came in my
wóbe, for I neither gaue you beth ner ſou-
le, noner lyke. It is not I that iopned the me-
bes of youzé bodes together, but the ma-
ker of the worlde, whych kafyonc þ byrth
of man, and beganne all thynges. Euen he
also of hys awne mercy chall gene you bze-
ath and lyke agayne, lyke as ye now regar-
de not pour awne ſelues for hys lawes ſake.

D

Now thought Antyochus that the had
despyſed hym, therfore he lett her go wych
her reſpouſes, and begâne to exhortè the pò-
gelt lóne (which yet was left) not only with
wózdes but swozé unto hym wych an ooth,
that he chulde make hym a rych and welthy
man (yk he wolde forſake the lawes of hys
fathers) pee, and that he chulde gene hym,
whatſoever were neceſſary for hym. But
when the yonge man wolde not be moued,
for all these thynges, he called hys mother,
and conceled her to faue her ſonnes lyke. And
when he had exhortèd her wych many wóz-
des, the p[rom]iſed him that the chulde l[pe]ake
unto her ſonnes. So the turned her unto hym
(laughynge the cruell tyzaumte to kozne) ad
ſpake wych a bolde vopce: Dmp ſonne, ha-
ue pytie upon me, that bare the ix. mone-
thes in my wombe, that gaue the ſuche, noiz-
hed the and brought the vp unto thys age.

E

I beſeche the (my ſonnes) loke upon heaué
and earth and all that is theryn, and conſp-
die, that God made them and mans genera-
cyon of nought: so chalt thou not keare thys

(layde he) truſt in theſe weapens and bold-
neſſe, but oure confidéce is in the allmygbty
Loſde, wych in the twpucklynge of an eye
maye both deſtroye them that come agaynſt
vs, and all the worlde.

He erhoſted them also to cal to remem-
braſſe the helpe, that God thewed unto the-
ir fathers: *as whé there peryſhed an C. and
lxxxv. M. of Semnacheribs people: And of
the batayl that they had in Babylon aga-
nſt the Gallacyans: how all the Hacedo-
nyans that came to helpe them, ſtode in kea-
re: and how they being but only vy. H. ſlewe
an C. e. xx. A.) thoſow the helpe that was ge-
uen them from heaué, wherby they also had
receaued many benetyles.

Thoſow these worſes the me toke good
hertes unto them, ready to dye for the lawe
and the countre. So he kett upon every com-
pany a captayne, one of hys awne bethen:
Simon, Joseph & Jonathas: geuynge eche
one, rv. C. men. He cauſed Eſdias alſo to re-
ade the holyp boke unto them, and to gene the
a token of the helpe of God.

* Then he hymſelſe beyng captayne in the
koſe front of the battayl, buckled wyth Ni-
canoz. And God was they? helpe, in ſomoch
that they ſlewe aboue ix. A.) men and cōpel-
led the moſe parte of Acanoſz's hooſt to ſle,
they were ſo wouſed and keable. Thus they
toke the money from thole that came to hye
them, and ſolowed upon them on every ſyde.
But when the tyme came upon them, they
returned, for it was the Sabbath, and ther-
koſe they ſolowed nomoſe upon them. So
they toke they? weapes and ſpoyles and ke-
pe the Sabbath, geuynge thakés unto the
Lord, wych had deſuuered them that dape,
and thewed them hys mercy. Aſter the Sab
bath* they diſtributed the ſpoyles to the ſp-
cke, to the fatherleſſe and to wyddowes, and
the reſyde had they them ſelues wyth the-
pyſ. When theſs was done, and they all had
made a generall prayer: they beſought the
mercyfull Loſde to be at one wyth hys ſer-
uauntes.*

Of those also that were wyth Timotheus
and Bachides, which ſought agaynſt them,
they ſlewe xx. A.) wanne hye and ströge hol-
des, and deuſed moo ſpoyles: euer geuynge
an equal poſeony unto þycke, to the father-
les, to wyddowes and to aged persons. And
when they had dpygently gathered they
weapens together, they layed them all in co-
eniente places, & the remauntaſt of the ſpoy-
les brought they to Jeruſalem. They ſlewe
also phylarches þwycked perſonne, wych
was wyth Tymotheus, and had vered ma-
np Jewes. And when they helde the than-
keſgeuynge at Jeruſalem for the vſeſorp,
they brent thole that had kett ſyce on the po-
tes of the téple: namely Calpſthenes, wych

was kett in to an houſe: ÿo they gatt a wor-
th rewarde for they? wyckedneſſe. As for
that moſt ungracious Acanoſz, wych had
brought a thouſande marchaunteſ, to dye
the Jewes, he was thoſow the helpe of the
Loſde brought downe euen of them whom
he regarded not: in ſo moch that he put of
hys glozrous rayment, kett by ſee, and came
alone to Antyoch, wyth greate chame and
dyſhonour, wych he gatt thoſow the de-
ſtruccion of hys hooſt. Thus he that p[]om-
fed the Romaynes to pape them they? tribu-
te, when he toke Jeruſalem: beganne now
to kape plapnelp, that God was the defender
of the Jewes, ÿotheroſe not p[]osible to wo-
nde them, because they folowed the lawes
wych God had made.

C The ix. Chapter.

T Antochus w[]h]l[]ing to ſp[]o]le Herkeſpolis is d[]ryuen
to flyg[]ht. A[]s he p[]erſecuteth the Jewes, he is d[]rychen
of the Loſde. The kapeu[n]t repentaunce of Antiochus.
He dyeth.

The fame tyme came Antipo-
chus agapne wyth d[]p[]thonoure
out of Perlys. If or when he ca-
me to Perkepolis, and under to-
ke to robbe the téple and to sub-
due the cytie, the people ranne
together ãd defended them ſelues, in ſomoch
that he and hys were kape to ſle wyth cha-
me. And so after that flyg[]ht, it happened,
that Antiochus came agapne wyth d[]p[]ho-
noure. But when he came to Egbathana, he
gatt knowlege what was happened unto
Acanoſz and Tymotheus. Now as he was
anau[]cpnge himſelſe i hys w[]rath, he thought
he was able to a[]venge the inuury that was
done to them, upon the Jewes: and therfore
commaunded to make ready hys charet,
hayſtynge on hys journey wythout ceaſ[]pyn-
ge, the iudgement of God prouokpnge h[]ym,
becauſe he had ſpoken so p[]roudly, þ he wol-
de come to Jeruſalem, and make it a gra-
ue of the Jewes. But the Loſde God of Ju-
raell, that ſeuth all thynges, ſmote h[]ym
wyth an inu[]p[]lyble plage, w[]h]ych no man
coulde h[]eale.

If as ſoon as he had ſpoken these wor-
des, there came upon h[]ym an h[]ozible payne
of h[]ys bowles, and a ſoſe greſe of the ar-
mes. And þ was but ſp[]eght: for he had mar-
t[]ried other mens bowels wyth d[]p[]uerſe and
ſtraunge tormentes, howbeit he wolde in
no wyſe ceaſſe from his malcye. Yee, he was
yet the p[]rouder ãd more malcyous agaynſt
the Jewes: But w[]h]ic[]e he was commaun-
dynge to make h[]aſſe in the matter, it h[]appe-

And so he that thought he myght com-
maude eye cloudes of the see (so proude was
he beyponde the cospion of man) òd to wepe
the hye mountaynes in a payze of balaunce,
was now brought downe to the grounde, ò
carted upon an hoyslyfter, knowlegynge the
manyfeste power of God upon hyn: so that
þ' wicked body of hys *was ful of wormes,
whych in hys payne fell quypck out of hys
keth: In so moch that his hooft was greued
with the smell and kyncke of him. Thus he
that a lytle afore thought he myght reache
to the karre of heauen, him myght no man
now abyde ner beare, for the dehemence of
kyncke.

Therfore, he beypnge brought from his
greate pryde, begane for to come to þ' know-
lege of him self: for þe pumpychement of God
warned him, and his payne increased euery
more and more. And when he him self might
not abyde his awne kyncke, he layde these
wordes: It is reall to be obediët unto God,
and that a man defyre not to be lyke unto
him. Thys wrycked personne pr ayed also
unto the Loode, of whom he thulde hane op-
tayned no merc y. And as for the cytie that he
came vnto so haftely, to dzynge it downe to
the grounde, and to make it a graue for deed
men: now he delyzeth to delyuer it fre.

And as touchinge the Jewes, whom he had
judged not wort hy, to be burped, but wolde
hane cast them out for to be denoured of the
foules ò wilde beakkes, layenge, that he wol-
de hane deftroped both olde òd yonge: Now
he przymceth, to make the lyke the cytelins
of Athens. And where as he had spylped the
holy temple akoze, now he maketh promple
to garnyhit with greate giftes, to increas e
the holyp ornamentes, and of his awne retes
to beare the coffees, and charges belonging
to the offerings: yee, and that he wolde al
become a Jewe him self, to go thorow euery
place of the worlde, and to preach the power
of God.

D

But when his paynes wolde not ceasse,
(for the ryghteous iudgmèt of God was co-
me òþ him) out of a very delpaype he zwo-
te vnto the Jewes a lettre of intercession,
contepinginge these worodes: The kynge and
prince Antiochus wigheth vnto þ' vertuous
cytelins of the Jewes, moch health òd good
propterite.

If ye and your children fare well, and
all things go after you, reþne: we ge-
ue create thanks. In my lychnelle aldo do
I remembre you louingly: for as I came
out of Persia, and was taken with fore dy-
keasse: I thought it neceffary to care for the
comen wealth. Nether delpaype I in my self,
but hane a good hope to ccape this licknes.

But conyderinge that my father led an
hoofft some time in the hyper places, and the-

wed who thulde rapgne after hym, that (þf
there happened any controversy, or enp harde
thyng were declared) they in the lade might
knowe their chefe loode, that there thulde be
no infurreccion: Agayne: when I pondize ly-
mp self, how that all the mpightie men and
neighbours rounde aboute, are layege wayte,
and loke but for opotunyte to do harme: I
hane ordened that my lonne Antiochus chal
raygne after me, whom I oft commended to
many of you, when I was in the hyper kyng-
domes, and hane wrytten vnto him as it fol-
loweth her after. Therfore I praye you, re-
quypze you, to remembre the benefites that
I hane done vnto you generally, òd in elpe-
ciall (and that euery mâ wylbe faythfull to
me ò my lonne) for I hope that he chal be of
sober ò louvnge behanoure, òf þe folowe
my deuice, he shall be indifferent vnto you.

* Thus, that murtherer òd blasphemer of God was soe smytten: ò lyke as he had in- treated other men, to he dyed a myckrable death in a strangete countre upon a moun- tapne. And hys body dyd Philyppe ( Þ went wyth him) cary awaye: whych tearynge the lonne of Antiochus, wente in to Egypte to Ptolomyp Philomecto.

C The x. Chapter.

Chasus Machabestaneth the cytie ò the temple. Be
beginneth to the wepe the actes of Suparoi. The Jewes
feyght against the Junesans Timotheus in aetheth
Jewaye, with whom Judas Jopheth darrell. Al men

is flapne.

A

Iehabeus now and hys companp
(Thorow the helpe of the Loode)
wanne the temple and the cytie
agayne, dekroped the aulters and
chapels ò the Heathen had buylded thorow

*I.Mac.lxxx.e*

the stretes: clefled the temple, *made another
aulter of brycke lone ò after.ij. yeares they
offered sacrifces, let forth the incenle, the
lyghtes ò the we bied. When that was done,
they fell downe flat upon the grounde, and
befought the Loode, that they myght come
nomore in to soch trouble: but þe þey synned
enp more agapnalt hym, he hym self to chafse
them wyth mercy, and not to ceme in the
handes of thole aleautes and blasphemous
men.

*Eod.rr.d.*

Now upon the same dape that the stra-
gers poluted the temple, it happened that on
the very same dape it was clefled agayne:
namely, *the xriij. dape of the moneth called
Caleu. They kepte vij. dapes in gladnelle,
lyke as in the feast of the tabernacles: reme-
brynge that not longe afore, they helde the
keast of the tabernacles upon the mountay-
ues and in dennes lyke beakkes. And to the
same token they bare grene howes, braun-
ches and palmes, before him that had gruen
them good for ourte to clefne his place. They

dape to be kepte ? And whê thep layde - pee
the lpuinge God, the mygbtie Lozde in hea
uen * com naunded the seuenth dape to be
kepte, he layde : And I am mygbtp upon
carth, to commaunde them for to arme them
selves, and to perkourme the kypnges busyl-
nelle. Not withit âdynge he mygbt not haue
his purpose.

Alcanor had deuyped wyp th' erate pyde
to ouercome Judas, âd to brynge a wape the
victorp. But Machabeus had euer a fast
confypdence and a parfecte hope in God, that
he wolde helpe hylm, âd exhort'ted his people,
not to be atrayed at the compyng of the Hea
then: but alwape to remembre the helpe that
had bene chewed vnto them from heauë, yee
âd to be sure now also, that almpygthe God
wolde gene them the victorp. He lpa ke vn-
to them out of the lawe and prôphetes, put-
ting them in reembraunce of the battylps,
that they had krycken afoue, and made them
to be of a good cozage.

C

So when their hartes were plucte vp, he
chewed them also the disceatfulnesse of the
Heathen, and how they wolde kepe no con-
nait not othe. Thus he weapened them not
with the armoure of chylde and speare, but
wyp th' holsome wordes and exhortacions.
He chewed the a dizeame also, wherthozowe
he made them al glad, whych was thys : he
thought that he sawe Onias ( which had be-
ne hyle preest, a vertuous and louynge man,
afad and of honest couersacpon, well spoken,
& one that had bene exerpyed in Godlynes
from a chylde) holdyng vp hys handes to-
warde heauen, and pza yenge for his people.
After this there apeared vnto hylm another-
man, whych was aged, honizable and glo-
tious. And Onias layde : This is a louer of
the breathen, and of the people of Israel.
This is he that pza yeth moch for the people,
and for all þ holyp cytie. Jeremp the pzo pbotе
of God. He thought also that Jeremp helde
out his ryght hande, and gaue vnto Judas
als wearde of golde, layenge: Take this holyp
swearde, a gypte from God, wher with thou
that it inyte downe the enempes of the peo-
ple of Israel.

And so they were well cœfozted thozow
the wordes of Judas, and toke cozage vnto
them, so that the ponge men were determy-
ned in their myndes to fpyght, âd to byde kyp-
fly at it: In so moch þ in the thynges whych
thep toke in hande, their boldnesse chewed þ
same, because the holyp cytie and the temple
were in parell: for the which thep toke moze
care, then for their wypes, chypdren, breathê
and kypnfolckes. Agayne, thep that were in
the cytie, were moft carefull for those which
were to fpyght. Now when they were all in
a hope that the iudgment of the matter was
at hand, and the enempes dize w npe, the hooſ

be ynge set in arape, the Elephâtes and hoz-
simen euery one standynge in hys place: Wa-
chabeus consydered the compyng of the mul-
titude, the ordynaunce of dyuerse weapens,
the cruelnes of the beeckes, æ helde vp hys
handes to warde heauen, callyng upon the
Lozde þ doth wonders, * whych geneth not
the victorp after the multytude of weapens
and power of the hooſ (but to the that please
hylm) acco zdynge to hys awne wyp. Ther-
koze in hys pza pper he layd these wordes.

D Lozde, * thou þ dyddest kende thye
Angell in the tyme of Eczekiah kypg of Ju-
da, and in the hoſte of Sennacherib Æ well
anbûdzetb foure kcore & fye thousand: kende
now also thy good angell bekoze vs (D Loz-
de of heauens) in the kearfulnesse and dize
of thynygbtpe arme, that thep whych come
agaynst thyn holyp people to blaspheme them,
maye be atrayed. And so he made an ende of
hys wordes. The Alcanor & they that were
wyp hylm, dize npe wyp th' awnes and
longes : but Judas & hys company wyp
pza pper and callynge upon God.

Wyp their handes they smore, but wyp
their hertes thep pza pped vnto the Lozde, âd
slew no lesse then. xxx. v. C. mè: Koz thozow
þ pre sent helpe of God they were gloriouſly
comforted.

Now when thep left of, & were turnynge
agayne with tope, thep understode that Al-
canor hylm felke was slayne wyp the other.
Then thep gaue a greate thoute and a crepe,
pza lyynge the Almighty Loz with a loude
voyce. And Judas (whych was euer ready
to lpende hys body ad lyke for his cytepypg)
co maunded to lmyte of Alcanor's head, with
hys arme & hande, & to be hzought to Jeru-
salem. A ben he came there, he called all the
people, âd the preſſes at paulter with those
that were in the castell, âd chewed the Alca-
nors head, and his wpecked hande, whych he
had preſumptuouſly holden vp agaynst the
téple of God. He caused þ tonge also of þ un-
godly Alcanor to be cut i lytle peces, & to be
cast to the koules, and the cruel más hâde to
be hanged vp before the temple.

So euery man gaue thankes vnto the
Lord, pza pinge: bleſſed be he, that hath kepte
hys place undefyed.

As for Alcanor's head, he hanged it vp
upon the hye castell, for an cupdent & playne
tokè of the helpe of God. And so they agreed
all together, to kepe that dape holyp, namely
the. xiiij. dape of the moneth Adar, which in þ
Syzians language is called the nexte dape
before Wardocheus dape. Thus was Alca-
nor slayne, & fro that tyme for th' Jewes
had the cytie in posſessyon: And here wyp I
now make an ende.

How shall then his kigdome endure: Also, yf y þelpe of Belzebub cast out deuyls, by whose helpe do you re chyldren cast them out: Therfore, they chalbe yo judges. But yf I cast out þ deuyls by the spriece of God: then is þ kingly dome of God come vnto you:

Or els * how ca one enter ito a stroge mā- nes houſe, and speople hys Jewels, excepte he fyſt bynde y stronge mā, and then ſpop- le his houſe: He that is not with me, is agapnit me. And he that gathreth not with me, kattereth abode. Wherfore, I sape vnto you, all maner of ſynne and blasphemy chalbe forgeuen vnto men * but the blas- phemp agapnit the spriece, chall not be for- geuen vnto men. * And whosoever spea- keth a wozde agapnit the sonne of man, it chalbe forgeuen hym. But whosoever spea- keth agapnit the holgott, it chall not be forgeuen him, nether in this wozde, ne- ther in the wozde to come: * Ether make the tree good, and his frute good, or els ma- ke the tree eupll, and his frute eupll. * For the tree is knowen by his frute. D genera- cion of vyppers, how ca ye speake good thin- ges, when ye poure selues are eupll. * For out of the aboundaunce of the hert, the mouth speaketh. A good man out of the good trea- fure of the hert, hzingeth forth good thyn- ges. And an eupll man, out of eupll trea- ſure, hzygeth forth eupll thynges. But I sape vnto you, of euery yoell wozde that men chall haue spoken, they shall gene acountes in the dape of judgement. * For out of the wozdes thou chalt be justifyd: and out of thy wozdes thou chalt be condemned. K

Then certaine of the Scribes and of the Pharises aſked him saying. * Walker, we wylde a ſygne of the. But he anſwered and ſayde to them. * The eupll and adou- terous generacyon & ſeketh a ſygne and ther chall no ſygne be geuè to them, but the ſygne of the Przophet Jonas. * For as Jo- nas was thre daves and thre nyghtes in the whales belly: to chall the sonne of mā be thre daves and thre nyghtes i the herte of þerth. The men of nineue chall eple in the iudg- met with thys nacyon, & condène it, because they amèded at þ preachypnge of Jonas. Behold, here is one greater then Jonas. * The quene of the south chall eple i the iud- gement, with thys generacyon, & chall con- demne it: for the came from the vmost par- ties of the wozde to heare the wypdome of Salomon. And beholde, in this place is one greater then Salomon.

When the vnclene spriece is gone out of a man, he walketh throughout dry pla- ces, ſekpng rest, and fyndeth none. Then he sayeth: I wyl retourne ito my houſe, from whence I came out. And when he is come, he fyndeth it empty, and swepte, and gar- nisshed. Then goeth he, ad taketh vnto him seuen other spretes wozle then hym selfe, and so entreth he i, and dwelleth there. And * the ende of that man is wozle then the beginning. Euen so chall it be also, vnto this froward generacyon.

it hertes are farre from me: but i sayne do
they ferue me, teachypnge the doctrines and
preceptes of men.

And he called the people to him, & sayd vn-
to them: heare and vnderstâde. That whych
goeth into the mouth, defyleth not the man:
but that which commeth out of the mouth,
defyleth the man.

Then came his disciples, and sayde unto
him: knowest thou not, that Æ Pharizes we-
re offended at this saying: But he answere
and sayd. Euery plante which my heauenly
father hath not planted, shall be plucked vp
by the rotes. Let the alone, they be the blyn
de leaders of the blynde. If the blynde leade
the blynde, both shall fall into the dyche.

Then answereth Peter & sayd unto him: de-
clare unto vs this parable. Iesus sayde: are
ye also yet without understandinge: do not
ye yet understande, Æ what soeuer entreth in
at the mouth, goeth into Æ belp, Æ is cast out
into the draught: But those thynges whych
proceve out of the mouth, come forth from the
hert, and they defyle the man. For out of the
herte proceade euill thoughtes, murders,
breakynge of wedlocke, whozdoz, thefres,
falsewitnesse, blasphempes. These are Æ thi-
ges, which defyle a man. But to take meate
with vnwalche hâdes, defileth not a mâ.

And Iesus went thence, & departed into
the coales of Tyre and Sydon, and behol-
de, a woman of Canaan which cam out of
the same coales crêd unto hym, saying:
baue mercy on me o Lorde, thou sone of Da-
uid: My daughter is pyteonly vered wyth
a deuill. But he answere her nothing at
all, & his disciples came, and be sought him,
sayinge: fende her awaye, for the crieth after
vs: But he answered, & sayd: I am not sent
* but unto the loste thepe of the houle of
Israel. Then cam the, and worhipped him,
sayinge: lorde, helpe me. He answered and
said: it is not mete, to take Æ chyldres bread,
and to cast it to dogges. She answere
and sayde: truthe Lorde, for the dogges
cate of the crômes, which fall from their ma-
kers table. Then Iesus answereð sayde vn
to her. O womâ, greate is thy faith, be it un
to the, euen as thou wilt. And her daughter
was made whole euè at that same tyme.

And Iesus went a wape from thence, & cam
npe unto the see of Galile, & went vp into a
mountapne, Æd fat doune there. And moche
people came unto him, bringing Æ them tho-
le Æ were lame, blind, deake, mapmed, & other
manp, & cast the downe at Iesus fete. And
he healed them: in so moch, Æ people wonde
zed, when they sawe the domme speake,

and as he was wont, he taught
them agayne. And the Pharpes came, and
as aed hym. Is it lawfull for a man to put

wered, and ſayd vnto the: * what dpy Mo-

fered to wpte a ſ蛋monall of deuorſe =

coupled together, let not man separate.

And in the houle hys diſſممles al red hym

Wherfore I thought not my ſelke worthyn to come vnto him: but ſaye, thou the wode, as my ſeruaunt halbe whole. For I also am a man ſet under power, as haue under me ſoudiers, as I sape vnto one: go, as he goeth: as to another, come: as he cometh: as to my ſeruaunt, do this: as he doeth it. Where Jefus herde this, he merueled at him, and turned him about, as I sape to the people vſolowed him: I sape vnto you, I haue not founde so great ſayth, no, not in Israel. And they were ſent, turned backe home agayne and founde the ſeruaunt whole that had beene ſpcke.

And it forſtuned after this, as he went into a cytie which is called Nain, as many of his diſciples went with him, as moche people. Where he came npe to the gate of the cytie: beholde, there was a deed mā carped out, which was only one of his mother, and she was a wydowe, as moch people of the cytie was with her. And when the Lord saſe her, he had compassion on her, and ſayde vnto her: wepe not. And he came npe, as touched the cosſyn: and they that bare him, stode ſpilly. And he ſaſpe: Ponge man, I ſaſpe vnto the arſpe. And he was deed, late vp, as beganne to ſpeake. And he delvered him to his mother. And there came a fear on the all. And

they gaue the glorp vnto God, ſaping * A great e prophet is rpen vp amonge vs, and God hath viſited his people. And this rumour of him wet forſt throughout all Juſtice, that thou out all the regions which he rounde about.

And the diſciples of John chewed him of all theſe thinges * And John called vnto him two of his diſciples, as ſent the to Jefus, ſaping: Arte thou he thulde come: or shall we loke for another? When the men were come vnto him, they ſayde: John baptiſte ſent vs vnto him, ſaying: Art thou he thulde come: or shall we wayte for another? And iſ same houre he cured many of their ſirmites & plauges, as of eυpil ſpretes, & vnto many that we re blynde he gaue hygh. And he anſWERed, as I ſayd vnto the: Go you re waves, and bring wode agayne to John, what thiges ye have ſene & harde, how he * the blynde ſe, he halt go, the lepers arclenſed, the deake heare, the deed rpe agayne: to he poore is the glad tydinges preached, as happr is he, that is not offende at me.

*And when messengers of John were departed, he bega to ſpeake vnto people concerning John. What wet pe out i to p wpldernes for to ſe a rede thaten w the wnde. But what wet pe out for to ſe, I mā clothed i ſok e raymet. Beholde, they which are goongeul apparелled, as lyve delycatly, are in kyngeſes courtes. But what wet pe forſt to ſe. A Prophete: Yee I ſaſe to you, and moze then a prophete. Thys is he, of whom it is written * Behold, I ſende mine angell before thy face which shall prepare thy wape before the. For I ſaſe vnto you, amoge wemes childe, is ther not a greater prophet the John baptiſt. Neuer theleſse, he that is leſe, in pkyngdome of God is greater the he. And all the people, and the publicans that heard him * in uſtified God, and were baptyſed with the baptime of John. But the Pharises and lawers deſpised the counſell of God agapnſt them ſlues, as were not baptyſed of him.

* And Herode the Tetrarch hearde of all that was done by him, & he douted, because it was layde of some, that John was rple agayne from death: and of some, that He-lpas had apered, and of some, that one of y olde propheces was rplen agayne. And Herode layd: John haue I beheaded: but who is this of whom I heare luche thynge: And he desyred to ke him.

And y Apostles returned: & tolde hi all y

led Bethsaida. Which when y people knew
they folowed hi. And he rcceaned the, & spa-
ke unto them of the kynge dome of God,
and healed them that had nede to be healed
And when the daye beganne to weare a
way, then came the twelue, and layd unto
him: sende y people a waye, that they mape
go into the townes and next villages & lod-
ge, and get meate, for we are here in a place
of wypdernes. But he layde unto them: Ge-
ue ye the to cate. And they layd: We haue no
mo but kyue loaues and two hyllynes, except
we shuld go & bye meate for all this people:
And they were aboute a fyue thouande me.
And he layde to his disciples: Cause the to
ayt downe bp fykties in a copany. And they
dyd so, and made them all to ayt downe. And
he toke y fyue loaues, & the two killhes, & lo-
ked bp to beauen, and blessed them, and haa-
ke, and gaue to y disciples, to feet before the
people. And they all dpy dicate, & were sati-
fyed. And there was take bp of y remapned

* And it fortuned as he was alone prayig,
his disciples were with him, & he alked the
fayige: + who laye the people y I am: They
answered, + layd: John Baptif: Some laye
Helyas. And some laye, that one of the olde
propheters is rplen. He layde unto the. But
who laye pe, that I am: Simon Peter an-
wered and layde + thou art y Christ of God
And he warned & comaunded the that they
shuld tell no man that thinge, laying + the so
ne of man must suffre many thynge, & be re-
produed of the elders, & of the hpe prelles, &

And he layde to them all, ykenp man wyll

ke bp his croste davlp, and folowe me *
& for whofoe er wyll saue hys lyfe, shall

& of the holy angels. I tell you of a truth:
* There be some, standing here, whych

* And it fortuned y about an. viii. dapes after theſe layges, he toke Peter, and John and James, and went bp into a mountayne topape. And as he prayed, the kall yon of his countenaunce was chaunged, and his garment was whyte, and thone. And behold, there talked with him two men which were Males and Helpas, that appered in the maieſtpe, & laſke of his departyngc, which he ſhuld ende at Jeruſalem. But Peter and they that were w hi, were heup withlepe. And when they awoke, they ſaw e hys maieſtpe, and two men standyngc with him.

* And it chaunſed as they departed from
him, Peter layde unto Jefus: Mafter, it is
good to vynde here for vs: Let us make almo
theſe tabernacles, one for the, & one for Wo-
ſes, and one for Helpas (and wift not what
he layde). Whyll he thus laſke, there came
a cloude and onerhadowed them, and they
keared when they were come into the cloude.
And there came a voypce out of the cloude
laying * This is my deare ſonne+ heareth him
And as ſone as the voypce was palt, Jefus
was founde alone. And they kept it clooke: &
tolde no man i those dapes, any of those thin
ges which they had tene.

* And it chaunſed that on the nexte dape
(as they came downe from the hyl) moche
people met him. And beholde, a man of the
company cryed out, layinge: Mafter, I be-
ſech the beholde my ſonne, for he is all that
I haue: and ke, a pzeſte taketh him, and sod-
ely he cryeth, and * (hehnocketh and) thereth him
that he fometh agayne, & with moch payne
departeth from him, whiche he hath rent him, &
* I beſought thy disciples to caſt him out, &
they could not, Jefus anſWERED + layd: D
faithleſſe, and croked naciſ, how longe shall
I be wyth you: and shall suffre you: Bryn-
ge the ſonne hylether. As he was yet a com-
ming, the ſende rent him, and tare him. And
Jefus rebuked the vlleane pzeſte, and hea-
led the chylde, and delpuered him to his fa-
ther. * And they were all amafed at the
mpgbtp power of God.

But whyll they wondere enerp one at all
things which he dpy, he layde unto his di-
 disciples: Let theſe layinges ſynke doune into

But he that entrech in by the DOSE, is the Christ of the Church: to him the pozer openeth, and the Christ heare his voyce, as he calleth his awne Church by name, and leadeth the out. And where he hath found forth his awne Church, he goeth before the Church folowe him: for they knowe his voyce. A straiger will they not folowe, but will flye from him: for they knowe not the Church of Straangers. This prouerbe Iake Jesus unto them, But they understood not what things they were, which he spake unto them. Then said Jesus unto them: Agapene: Verely verely I say unto you: *I am the DOSE of the Christ. All (even as many as came before me) are theues a murthurers: but the Christ did not heare the. I am the DOSE by me, by my man enter in, he that be safe, shall go in out, and flye past me. A theke commeth not but for to steale, kill, and to destroie. I am come, that they mayht have lyke, and they might have it more abundantly.

I am a good Christ. A good Christendome, as he which is not the Christ (neither the Church are his awne) seeth his wolfe compinge, as heaueth the Church, and flyeth and is wolfe catcheth, as scattereth the Church. The Christ is a Christ, because he is an Christ, andareth not for the Church.

am the good Christ, as knowe my Christ, as I knowen of myne. As my father knoweth me, euen so know I also my father. And as I knowe my lyke for Christ, so also Christ me. Jesus, which are not of this fold, They also must I bring, and they shall have my voice, as also shall be one fold and one Christ. Therefore doth my father love me, because I put my lyke from me, that I mayht take it agayne. No man taketh it from me, but I put it awaye of my selfe. I have power to put it from me, and I have power to take it agayne: This comman demeſt haue I receaued of my father. There was a difference on thefore agayne amonge the Jews for these Layines, as many of them said: *He hath the deuill, as is madd: who heare him: Other said, there are not the words of him that hath the deuill. Can the deuill open the eyes of the blynde?*

And it was at Jerusalem the keafe of Christ's dedication, as it was written: *Christ walked in the temple, euén in Salomons' Church. Then came the Jews round about him, and said unto him: How long doth thou make this Church? If thou be Christ, tell us playnly. Jesus answered the: I know you, and ye be believe not. The works of I do in my father's name, they beare witnesses of me. But they believe not, because they are not of my Church. As I say unto you: *my Church beare my voice, and I knowe them, and they follow me, as I geneve unto the eternal Christ, and they shall never be away, neither shall man plucke them out of my hande. By father whoch gave the me, is greater than all, as no man is able to take them out of my father's hande.* And my father be are one.

The Christ the Jews agape toke up agains, to take him eu'n all. Jesus answered the: may I have good works of him? The Jewes answered him, Layige. For the good works he make not, but for the blasphemy, as because thou beighe a man, makest thy selfe God. Jesus answered the: Is it not written in your lawe: *I say, ye are Goddes? If he called them Goddes, who to whom the word of God was spoken (and the Scripture can not be broken concerning him who is father, but he be facitied), he sent into the world) do ye say? I say, I speak with the BLASPHERS, as because you be away, make away, and take away.

Agape they wet aboute to take him: as he escaped out of their hande, as wet away agape beyond Jordan, into the place where John before had baptised, and there he abode. And many rezoſted unto him, and said: John

*i. Lo. vii.g.*

Nowe ye not britheth (I ſpeake
to them that knowe the lawe)
how that the lawe hath power
ouer a man, as lóge as it endu-
reth. Koz * the womá which is
in ſubjecto to a man, is bounde by the lawe
to the man, as lóge as he lyueth. But ſk the
man be deed, the is loosed from the lawe of
the man. So then * ſk while the man lyueth
the couple her ſelfe to another man, the chalbe
coated a wedlocke breakeſter. But ſk the man
be deed, the is free from the lawe of þi. I. S. Ad,
so that the is no wedlocke breakeſter, though
the couple her ſelfe with another man.

*Math. v. e.*

Euen so ye also (my britheth) are deed do-
cernynge ſ lawe by the body of Chriſt, that
pe chulde be coupled to another (I meane to

him that is erſen agapne frô deeth ) that we
chuld bringe forſth frute vnto God. Koz whé
we were in þ ſelthe, þ lúſtes of ſynne whych
were ſtered vy the lawe, raygned in oure
members, to brýnge forſth frute vnto deeth.
But now are we delyuered from the lawe,
and deed vnto it wher vnto we were in bon-
dage, that we chuld ſerne in a new converſa-
facyon of the ſprie, and not in the olde con-
uerſacyon of the letter.

What chall we laye then: is þ lawe ſynne?
God forbyd: neuertheles * I knew not ſyn-

what lúſt had meant, excepte the lawe had
layd, +thou chalt not lúſt. But ſynne toke
an occafyon by the meanes of the comnaui-
ment and wzought in me all manner of co-
cupilcence. Koz verelp without þ lawe, ſyn-
ne was deed. I once lyued wythout lawe.
But when the commaundement came, ſyn-
ne reuied, and I was deed. And the ve-
ry fame commaundement whych was ordep-
ned vnto lypſe, was kounde to be vnto me an
occafyon of deeth. Koz ſynne toke occafyon
by the meanes of the commaundement, and
so diſceaued me, ſ by þ fame ſleve me. Wher-
koze * the lawe is holp, and the commaun-
dement holp, and lúſt and good:

ſinne might appeare (by it which was good)

maundement myght be out of meaſure ſyn-

but I am carnall ☞ * ſolde under ſynne,

not, I coſente vnto the lawe that it is good:
So then now, it is not I þ do it, but ſynne
that dwelleth in me. Koz I knowe, that in
me (that is to laye in my * ſelthe) dwelleth
no good thynge. Koz to will is p[resent] with
me: but I ſynde no meanes to perſoſme that
whych is good. Koz the good that I wolde,
do I not: but the cupll whych I wolde not
that do I. I. K I do that I wolde not, then
is it not I that do it, but ſynne that dwel-
leth in me. I ſynde then by the lawe, that
when I wolde do good, cupll is p[resent]

even as ye were led. Wherefore I declare you to you, that * no man speaketh by the spirit of God, defileth Jesus. Also no man can sape that Jesus is the Lozde, but by the holy goost. * Then are dyuersites of gyftes, yet but one spirit. And there are differences of admpny stracyós, and yet but one Lozde. And there are dyuers maners of operacíós, etc. yet but one God, which worketh all in all. * The gyfte of the spirit is genen to ene-ry man, to edifye withal, For to one is given thorow the spiritre û utteraunce of wil, dome. To another is given û uttraunce of kno wledge by the same spiritre. To another is given sayth, by the same spiritre. To another the gyftes of healinge by the same spiritre. To a-

* For as the body is one, and hath many membres, and all the membres of one body though they be many, yet are but one body, even so is Christ. For by one spirit are we all baptyled to make one body, whether we be Jews or Gentyls, whether we be bonde or fre, and haue * all dzoncke of one spretre. For the body is not one member, but manp. If the fote laye: I am not the hande, I am not of the body: is he therforo not of the body? And if the ear e laye, I am not the epe, I am not of the body: is he therforo not of the body? If all û body were an epe, where we-ere then the eare: If all were hearpnge: wher-e were the smellynge: But now hath God fett û membres euery one feuerally in the body as it hath pleased him. If they were all one membere: where were the bodpe? Now are the-ere many membres, yet but one body. And û epe can not laye into the hand: I haue no ne-de of the. Agapne, the heed can not laye to û fete: I haue no nede of you. Yee rather agreat deale those membres of the body whych fè-me to be more feble, are necessarly. And upon those membres of the body which we thinke left honest, put we more honestie on. And our e vngoodlye partes haue more beauty o. I. For our honest membres nede it not. But God hath so disposed the body, that hath gcuë û more honoure to û parte which lac-ked, left there shuld be enp tryke in the body: but that the membres shuld indifferently care one for another. And if one member suffer, all suffer w him. If one member be had in hon-our, all membres be glad also.

Unto ♦ Timothe

* Grace mercry and peace from God oure

As I besought the to abye skyll at Ephe-
sus (when I departed into * Macedonia)
cuen so do, that thou commaunde some, that
they folowe no straunge doctryne, neither ge-
ue hede * to sables and endles genealogies
which hede doutes more then Godlye edi-
flyinge, which is by kayth: for the ende of the
commandment is, * lone out of a ♦ pure
herte, and of a good conscience, and of kayth
unfapned: from the whych thyngs, becaule
some hane erred, they are turned vnto vapne
tangelynge, because the ywolde be doctours
of the lawe, and yet understande not what
they ppeake, neither wherof they affyrme.

We knowe, that * the lawe is good,
that a man use it lawfully: knowynge thys,
how that þ lawe is not geuen vnto a rygh-
teous man, but vnto the unryghteous and
difobedypent, to the vngodly and to spynners,
to unholy and uncleane: to murtherers of
fathers and murtherers of mothers, to man-
slears, to whozmongers: to them that de-
ſple them ſelues with which mankynde: to men-
kealers: to lyars, to periured, and þ ther
be eny other thynge that is contrary to the
holſome doctrine, accozdying to the ſoſſell
of the glory of þ bleſſed God, which ſoſſell
is committed vnto me.

And I thanke Chriſt Jefus oure Lorde,
which hafte made me stronge: for he counted
me true, and put me in offre where as befo-
re I was a blasphemar, * ad a perſecuter, &

I. Actes. ix. a.

I dyd it ignozauntly the zozow unheleſe. Ne-

which is by Christ Jefu. ♦

For we have great ioye and consolacion in thy loue: be cause that by the (brother) the faictes hertes are conkorted.

K Dbepe the that have the oversight of you, and submit yourselues unto them, for they watch for your soules, even as they that must geue a comptes: Y they maye do it with ioye, and not with grefe. For that is an vnprofitable thing for you. Pzape for vs. For we trust we have a good conscience among all men, and desire to lyue honestlie. But I desire you the more, that we do so, that I maye be refted to you the sooner.

C The Kyft Chapter.

Ames the servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, sendeth gretþng to the twelue trybes wherby are scattered above. K By be that we be, count it for an exceeding ioye, when ye fall into divers temptacions: knowing this, that * the trying of your faith gendert is a science: and let practice have her perfect wortke, that ye maye be perfecte and sounde, lackingly nothing.

If any of you lacke wypdome, + let hym afke of him that geueth it: euen God, whych geueth to all men indifferently, and casteth no man in the teeth: and it albe geue him. But let him hym afke in faith, and wauer not. For he that douteth, is lyke a wae of the fee, which is tost of the wyndes and carped with violence. Neither let that man thinke, that he shall receane any thing of the Loode.

A waueryng mynded man, is not able in all his wapes. Let the brother which is of lowe degree reioyc wha he is exalted. Againe: let him *be* riche, reioyc wha he is made lowe. For euens as the flower of the graisse, O all the palle a waye. For he that is not made lowe, and the graisse wndereth, and his flower falth awaye, and the beautie of the kaffyn of it perilleth eu: so shall the rich man perilleth with his wapes.

Happ is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receane his crowne of lyke, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.

Let no man laye when he is tempted, that he is tempted of God. For, *God cannot tempt unto euyll, because he tempteth no man. But euery man is tempted, when he is da wne a waye, and entyed of his awne concupiscence. Then, when luff hath concluded, the bryngeth forth his sinne: & ynne when it is knifed, bryngeth forth his death.

Do not erre my deare children, *Eue-ry good gyfte, and euery paryfayt gyft, is for above, and commeth downe from the father of liyhtes, with his is no variablenes, neither is he changed unto darcknes. * Of his awne will begat he vs with the word of truth, that we have the kyft trutces of his creatures.

What is to be (deare children) + let euery man be swyfte to heare, flowe to his ear, flowe to his wath. For the worth of man worketh not that which is ryhteous before God.

* Wherefore laye a parte all of thyne and superfluite of malþe oulnes, and receane wemen kins, the word that is graffed in you, which is able to save your soules.

K And + be þe be doars of þe word and not hearers enelp, decaunig pour an wne selues. For * if any man heare the word, and declareth not þe same by his works, he is lyke unto a man beholding his hodelyp face in a glasse. For as one he hath loked en his selfe, he goeth his waye, and forgeteth himmediatly what his kaffyn was. * But who so loketh in þe paryfayt lawe of libertye, and continueth ther in (if he be not a forgetful hearer, but a dear of the workes) the same shall be happe in his dede.

If any man among you come to be deuouante, refrapneth not his tog, but decauen his awne her, this manes deuociois in vapne. Pure deuocion and undefyed before God þather, is this: to visyt the fatherlesse and widowes in their aduerlyte, and to kepe hym selfe unspotted of the word.

These things have I written unto you, concerning the that deceale you. And the anoyntinge whyche haue receaued of hym dwelleth in you. And ye nede not, that eny man teach you: but as þ annoypninge teacheth you of all things, and is true, and no lye, and as it hath taught you, euen so byde therin. And now babes abyde in hym: that when he shall appeare, we mape be bolde, and not be made ahamed of hym at his commande: If ye knowe that he is ryghteous, knowe also þ euery one whych doth ryghteousnes, is boze of hym.

Æthelwulf, iii. d.
John v. c.

The lynguler loue of God toward vs; and how we
agapne ought to loue one another.

The. liij. Chapter.

Eholde, what loue the father hath chewed on vs, that we should be called * (and be in dede), þ * sones of God. For this cause the worlde knoweth you not, because it knoweth not hym. Dearely beloved, now are we the sones of God ad yet it doth not appeare, what we chalbe. But we knowe, that when it shall appear, we chalbe lyke him. For we shall be him as he is. And euery man that hath this hope in him, yourgeth him selfe, euen as he also is pure. Whosoever commyteth lynne, committeth vnryghteousnes also, and lynne is vnryghteousnes. And ye knowe, that he appeared, to take awaye oure lynnes, and in hym is no lynne. As many as byde in hym, lynne not-whosoever lynneth, hath not sene him, nether knowen hym.

Æthelwulf, r.c.f.
John i. b.

B

Babes, let no man deceaue you. He that doeth ryghteousnes, is ryghteous, euen as he is ryghteous. He that committeth lynne, is of the deuill: for the deuill lynneth fenteth the beginnynge. For this purpose appeared theonne of God, to lowe the worlkes of þ deuill. Whosoener is bozne of God, lynneth not: for his seed remapyneth in him, and he cannot lynne, because he is bozne of God. In thys are the chyldren of God knowen, and the chyldren of the deuill. Whosoener doeth not ryghteousnes, is not of God, neither he that loueth not hys hother.

Æthelwulf, iii. d.
John, vii. f.

C

If this is the tidinges, that ye heard e from the beginninge, that ye shuld loue one another, not as * Cayn which was that wicked, and flewe his hother. And wherforze flewe he him? Because his awne workes were euill, and hys brothers good. ✠ Maruaple not my hrethe? though þ worlde hate you. We knowe, that we are translated from deeth unto lyfe, because we loue the hrethe. ✠ He that loueth not hys hother, abydeeth in deeth. Who soever hatched hys hother, is a man clear. And ye knowe, þ no man clear, hath eternall lyfe abypnge in hym.

Æthelwulf, iii. d.

Æthelwulf, r.c.f.

Herby perceaue we loue: because he gaue his lyfe for vs; and we ought to geue oure li-

ues for the hrethe. But who so hath this world's good and * seþhys hother hae neade: and chutterþ up his compassion for him: how dwelleth the lioe of God in hym? If babes, let us not loue in wozde, neither in røge: but in dede and in veritie. ✠ Herby we knowe, that we are of the veritie, and cæ quet oure hertes before hym. For þy oure herte condepne vs, God is gretter then oure herte, and knoweth all thynges. Dearly beloved, þy oure herte condempne vs not, then we haue our trut to God warde: and * what soeuer we alke we receaue of him, becaufe we kepe his còmaundementes, and do thole things which are pleasynge in his lyght.

Æthelwulf, xiv.b

D

Æthelwulf, iii. d.
And * this is hys commandement, that we beleue on the name of hisonne Jesus Christ, and loue one another, as he gaue còmaundement. And he that kepet hys commandementes, dwelleth in him, and he in hym, and herby we knowe that he abydeeth in vs, eué þe * sprete which he hath geue us.

The difference of lytes, and how the spere of God maye be knowne from the spere of erroure. De ike loe, e of God and of oure nevg., boures.

The. liij. Chapter.

Early beloved * beleue not euery sprete: but proue the spretes, wher they are of God or not, for * many false Prophletes are gone out into the worlde. Herby chall ye knowe the sprete of God. Euery sprete that confelseth that Jesus Christ is come in the klethe is of God. And euery sprete which confelseth not that Jesus Christ is come in þ klefliche, is not of God. And this is that sprete of Antichrift, of whom ye haue hearde, howe that he chulde come: * eué now alredy is he in þ worlde.

Lytell chyldren, ye are of God, and haue ouercome them: for greater is he that is in you, then he that is in the worlde. They are of the worlde, therofe speake thep of the worlde, and the worlde heareth them. We are of God. He that knoweth God, heareth vs: he þ is not of God, heareth vs not. Herby knowe we the sprete of veritie, and the sprete of erroure.

Dearly beloved * let vs loue one another: for loue còmeth of God. And euery one that loueth, is bozne of God, and knoweth God. He that loueth not, knoweth not God: for ✠ God is loue. In this appeared the loue of God to vsward, because that ✠ God sent his onely begotten sonne into þ worlde, that we might lue thorow him. Herin is loue, not þ we loued God, but that he loued vs, * sent his sonne to make agrèmet for oure lynnes.

Dearly beloved, þ God so loued vs, we ought also to loue one another. ✠ No man hath sene God at eny tyme. If we loue one another, God dwelleth in vs, and his loue is parfect in vs. Herby know we þ we dwell in hym,

And immediately I was in the lprezete: ad be-

And one of the elders answered saying unto me: what are these which are atayed in longe whyte garmentes, and whence came they: And I sayde unto him: Lord thou wottest. And he layde tome: these are they, which cam ont of great tribulació, and made their garmentes large, and made them whyte by the blonde of the lambe: therfoze are they in the presence of the steate of God & serve hym daye and myght in his téple, and he that lytteth in Æ steate wull dwell amoge the.

And the thyrde angell blew, and ther fell a gret starre from heauen, burnyng as it were a lampe, and it fell into the thyrde parte of the ruyers, and into fountaynes of waters, & the name of þ starre is called wormwod. And the thyrde parte was turned to wormwod. And many mend yed of the waters, because they were made bytter. And the fourth Angell blew, and the thyrde parte of the sunne was smytten, and the thyrde parte of the mone, and the thyrde parte of karres : so that the thyrde part of them was darkned. And the daye was smytten, that the thyrde part of it chulde not chyne, & lykewple the nyght. And I behelde and herde an Angell flyinge thozow the myddes of heauen, saying with a lowde voyce: Woo, woo, to the inhabitants of the erth, because of the voyces to come of the trompe of the thre Angels, which were yet to blowe.

The fifth and sixth Angell blowe their trompettes:

made greate voyces in heauen, ſayinge: the
kyngdoms of this worlde are oure loſdes, &
his Chriſtes, & he all raygne koz euer moze
And the. xiiij. elders, which ſyt beſore God
on their kates, ſell vpon their kaces, & woz-
hypped God, ſayinge: we geue the thankes
D. Lord God almightie: which arte & waſt,
and arte to come, koz thou haſte receaued thy
gre at myght, and haſt raygned. And the na-
cions were angry, and thy wizath is come, &
þ y'tyme of the deed that thep chuld be judged
and that þ chuldest geue rewarde vnto thy
ſeruaunteſ the Prophetes and Sapnctes, &
to them that keare thy name ſmall and great
and chuldest deſtroye them, which deſtroye
the erth. And the ſeple of God was opened
in heauen, and the was ſene in his ſeple, the
arcke of his testament, & her followed light-
nynges, and voyces, and thondrynges and
ertquake, and moch haple.

C The ſeventh Angell bloweth his trompet. There
ape erth in heauen a wom i clothed vith the Sane:
And chael ly ghteth with the dragon, which perſeu-
teth the woman.

C The. xij. Chapter.

And ther appered a gret wonder
A in heauë: A womâ clothed with
the ſonne, and the mone vnder
her fete, & vpon her heed a crou-
ne of. xij. Starres. And the was

with chylde, & cryed trauaplinge in byzth, &
payned redy to be delyuered. And ther appe-
red another wonder in heauen, koz beholde, a
gret red dragon hauynge. viij. heddes, & ten
hoznes & crounes vpon hys heades: and hys
taple drue the thyrde parte of the Starres
and caſt them to the erth.

And the dragon stode beſore the woman
which was redy to be delyuered: koz to de-
uoure her chylde as ſone as it were bozne.
And the brought forſth a man chylde, which
thulde rule all nacions with a rodd of yzon.
And her ſonne was taken vp vnto God, Æd
to his ſeate. And the woman fleed into wył-
dernes, where the had a place, prepared of
God, that thep thulde ſcde her there a. H) ij.
hundred and I. dayes.

And ther was a great battayll in heauë,
C Michael Æd his Angels fought with the dra-
gon, and the dragó fought and his angelles,
Æd preuayled not, nether was their place fo-
unde eny more in heauen. And the great dra-
gon, that olde ſerpent, called the deuill and
Sathanas, was caſt out. Which deceaueth
all the worlde. And he was caſt into the erth
and hys angelles were caſt out also.

And I hearde a lowde voyce ſayinge: in
heauen is now made laluacyon and strengthe
the kryngdome of oure God, Æd the power
of his Chriſt. Ifo: he is caſt doune which ac-
cuſed them before God dape Æd nygħt. And
they ouercame him by the bloude of the läde,
and by the worde of their testimony, & they
loued not their lyues vnto the deeth. The-
koze reioyce heuens, and pe that dwell in the.
Woo to the inhabiters of the erth, and of the
ſee: koz the deuill is come doune vnto you,
which hath great wath, because he kno-
weth that he hath but a short tyme.

And when the dragó ſawe, that he was
caſt vnto the erth, he perſecuted the womá,
which brought forſth the mâ chylde. And to
þ womá were geue two wynges of a great
Egle, that the mygħt lye into þ wildernes
into her place, where the is noypſhed koz a
tyme, tymes, & halſe a tyme, kro the presence
of the ſerpent. And þ dragon caſt oure of hys
mouth water after the womá as it had bene
a rpuer, because the chuld hane bene caught
of the cloud. And the erth holpe the woman,
and the erth opened her mouth & walowed,
vp þ rpuer, which the dragó caſt out of his
mouth.

Ispete to a great and an hpe moutayne, and
he chewed me the gret citie holp Jerusalem,
descendying out of heauen from God: hauyn
de the hryghtnes of God. And her chypnge
was lyke vnto a st one molte precious, euen
like a Jalpar cleare as Cristall: æ had wal-
les gret æ hpe, æ had. xij. gates æ at the gates
xij. Angels: and names written, whych are
the names of the. xij. trybes of Israel: on the
Eeft parte. iii. gates, æ on the Northside. iiij.
gates, æ towardes the South. iiij. gates, æ
from the west the gates, and the wall of
the cytie had. xii. foundacyons: and in them
the twelue names of þ Lambes. xij. apostles.

And he that talked with me, had a golde
reade to me sure the cytie with all æ þ gates
therof and the wall therof. And þ cytie was
hylt. iiiij. square, and the legth was as large
as the hiedth, and he meaured the cytie w
the re de. xij. A. furlonges: and the length æ
the hiedth, æ þ hepth of it, were equall. And
he meaured the wall therof. an. cr. liij. cubp-
tes: the meaure þ the angell had, was after
the meaure that man vseth. And the byldig
of the wall of it was of Jalpar. And the cy-
tie was pure golde, lyke vnto cleare glaske, æ
the foundacyons of the wall of the cytie we-
re garnilhed with all maner of precious to-
nes. The kyrst foundation was Jalpis, þ le-
conde Saphyre, the thyrd a Calcedonyp, the
fourth an Emeralde, the fyft Sardonix, the
lyrt Sardeos, the seuth Crysolite, þ lyeght
Berall, the ix. a Topas, the tenth a Trulo-
pralos, the eleuentha Jacpnte, the twelueth
an Amatult.

The twelue gates were twelue pearles,
euery gate was of one pearle, and the strete
of the cytie was pure golde, as thozow chy-
vinge glaske. And I laue no temple thernp.
For the Lorde God almyghty and the lam-
be are the temple of it. * and the cptie bath
nonede of þ londe neither of þ mone to lych-
ten it. For the hryghtnes of God dyd lyght
it and the lambe was the lyght of it. And
the people whych are saued shall walke in
the lyght of it. And the kypges of the erch
shall hryng theyp glory * (and honoure) vn=
to it. * And the gates of it are not but by
dave. For they chalbe no nyght there. * (And
it to it shall they brynge the glorp and honoure of the nations')
And there shall enter into it none vn cleane
thige, neither what soeuer wozketh abhomp
nacion or maketh lyes: but they only whych
are wztten in the lambes boke of lyke.

The ryuer of the water of lyke, the kruetulnes
and lyght of the cytie of God. The Lord geuth
euer hys feruauntes manypug of thynges for to-
are, the agell wyll not be vnsipped To the woz-
de of God mape noþyng be added no: inyn. lyed.

C The. xrij. Chapter.

No he chewed me a pure rpuer
of water of lyke, clere as Cry-
stall: proceding out of the lea-
te of God, and of the lambe. In
the myddes of the strete of it,
and of ether lyde of the ryuer
A

was ther wood of lyke: whych bare twelue
maner of krutes: and gaue krute euery mo-
neth: ad the lenes of the wood ferued to hea-
le þ people with all. And ther chalbe no mo-
re cuelle, but the keate of God and the lambe
chalbe in it: and hys feruauntes chall ferue
hym. And they chall se hys kace, and hys na-
me chalbe in thep forheddes. * And there
chall be no nyght there, and the pue de no ca-
dle, neither lyght of þ londe: for þ lord geuth
the þ lyght, æ they chall raygne for euermore.

And he layde vnto me: these sayinges are
faythfull and true. And the Lorde God of
Saynctes and Prophletes sent hys Angell
to chewe vnto hys feruauntes, the thynge
whych muste chortly be fulkyll ed. Beholde,
I come chortly. * Happy is he that kepeth þ
layinge of the prophely of thys boke. I am
John, whych laue these thynge and herde
them And when I had herde and tene, * I
fell doune, to wozhyppe before the fete of
the Angell which chewed me these thinges.
And he layde vnto me: se thou do it not, for
I am thy felowe feruaunt, æ the felowe fer-
uaunt of thy hzeth: the Prophetes, and of
them whych kepe the sayinges of thys boke.
But wozhyppe God.

And he layde vnto me: keale not the sayin-
ges of the prophely of this boke. For the tp-
me is at hande. He that doeth euyl, let hym
do euyl kyll: and he whych is filthp, let him
be þylthy kyll: and he that is rpyghteons, let
hym be moze rpyhteons: æ he that is holp,
let hym be more holp. And beholde, I come
chortly, and my re warde is with me, to ge-
ue euery man accoznynge as hys dedes chal-
be. I am Alpha and Omega, the begynnin-
ge and the ende: the kyrst and the last. Ble-
sed are they that do hys commaundemétes,
that thep: power maye be in the tree of lyke.
and maye entre in thozow þ gates into the
cytie. * For without chalbe dogges and in-
chaunters, and whozmongers, and morthе-
ters, and ydolaters, æd who soeuer loueth or
maketh leafynges.

I Jesus sent myne Angell, to telsyfe vn-
to you these thynge in the congregacions.
I am the vorte and the generacyon of Da-
uid, and the hryght monynge starre. And þ
sperte and the bryde laye come. And let hym
that heareth, laye alfo: come. * And let hym
þ is a thyrst: come. And let who soeuer wyl,
take of the water of lyke, fre.

I telsyfe vnto euery man that heareth þ
words of the prophely of thys boke: * þf
