The praise of God.

9 When your fathers tempted me: proued me, and lawe my workes.

10 Fourtie peres long was I griued with this generation, and saide: it is a people that do erre in their hearts, for they haue not knowne my wapes.

11 Unto whom I sware in my wath: that they should not enter into my rest.

Cantate Domino.

1 An exhortation both to the Jewes and Gentiles to praise God for his mercie. And this specially ought to be refer-
red to the kingdome of Chyft.

1 O Sing vnto the Lord a new song: sing
unto the Lord at the whole earth.

2 Sing vnto the Lord, and praise his name: be telling of his saluation from day to day.

3 Declare his honour vnto the heathen: and his wonders vnto all people.

4 For the Lord is great, and cannot worti-
ly be praisèd: he is moze to be keared then al
goddesses.

5 As for all the goddess of the heathen, they
be but idoles: but it is the Lord that made
the heauens.

6 Glorie and worship are before him: power
and honour are in his sanctuarie.

7 Acrive into the Lorde (D ye kiueids of the people:) acrive vnto the Lord worship and power.

8 Acrive vnto the Lord the honour due vnto his name: being presents, and come into his courtes.

9 D worship the Lord in ÿ beautie of hollines: let the whole earth stand in awe of him.

10 Tell it out among the Heathen, that the
Lord is King: and that it is he which hath
made the round world to fast that it can not
be moued, and how that he shall iudge the
people righteously.

11 Let the heauens reioyce, and let the earth
be glad: let the sea make a noyle, and al that
therein is.

12 Let the field be ioyfull, and all that is in it: then shall all the trees of the wood reioyce before the Lord.

13 For he commeth, for he commeth to judge the earth: a with righteoufnes to iudge the world, and the people with his trueth.

Dominus regnaut.

1 The Prophet exhorteth all to reioyce for the comming of the kingdome of Chyft, 7 Dreadfull to the rebels and
folowers, 8 And ioyfull to the iuf, whose he exhorteth to innocencie, 12 To reioycing and thankefiuing.

1 The Lord is King, the earth may be glad thereof: yea the multitude of the Jles may be glad thereof.

2 Cloudes and darkenes are round about him: righteoufnes and iudgement are the habitation of his feat.

3 There shall go a fire before him: and burne
bp his enemies on every side.

4 His lightnings gaue shone vnto ÿ worlde: the earth faue it, and was afraid.

5 The hilles melted like ware at the prefence of the Lord : at ÿ plesence of the Lord of the whole earth.

6 The heauens haue declared his righteoufnes: and al the people haue feene his gloay.

9 Where your fathers * tempted mee, prouoned me, though they had feene my worke.

10 Fourtie yeres haue I contended with this generation, and said, They are a people that ÿ erre in heart, for they haue not knowne my wayes.

11 Wherefore I sware in my wrath, saying, Surely they shall not enter into my h rest.

Psalxcvi.

e Confounded be all they that ferue grauen images, and that glorie in idoles: worship him all ye goddes.

8 Zion heard of it, & was glad: and the daugh- ters of Iudah reioyced, because of thy iudge- ments, O Lord.

9 For thou, Lord, art moſt high aboue all the earth: thou art much exalted aboue all goddes.

10 Ye that b loue the Lord, hate euil: he prefer- ueth the foules of his Saintes: he wil deliuer them from the hand of the wicked.

11 Light is ſowen for the righteous, and ioy for the vpright in heart.

17 But the merciful goodnes of the Lord endureth for[ee]r & euer, vpon them that feare him: and his righteounes vpon childrens children.

20 O praiseth the Lord, ye angels of his, ye that excellent in strength; ye that fulfill his commandement, and hearken vnto the boye of his wordes.

21 O praiseth the Lord all ye his hoſtes: ye ſeruants of his that do his pleasure.

22 O praiseth good of the Lorde all ye workes of his, in all places of his dominion: prayſe thou the Lord, O my soule.

Psal. ciii.

1 Y foule, 2 prayſe thou the Lorde, and all that is within mee, prayſe his holie Name.

3 My foule, prayſe thou the Lorde, and forget not all his benefits.

4 Which 3 forgieth all thine iniquitie, & healeth all thine infirmities.

5 Which redeemeth thy lyfe from the 4 graue, and crowneth thee with mercie and compaffions.

6 Which satisfieth thy mouth with good things: and thy 5 youth is renuſed like the egles.

7 The Lord executeth righteouſnes and iudgement to all that are oppreffed.
8 He made his wayes knowen vnto 5 Mofes, and his workes vnto the children of Israel.

9 The Lorde is full of compaffion and mercie, flow to anger and of great kindnes.

10 He will not alway[] chide, neither keepe his anger for[ee]r.

11 For as high as the heauen is aboue the earth, fo great is his mercie towarde them that feare him.

12 As farre as 6 the Eaſt is from the West: fo farre hath he remouued our finnes from vs.

13 As a father hath compaffion on his children, fo hath the Lorde compaffion on them that feare him.

14 For he knoweth whereof we be made: here- membereth that we are but duſt.

15 The dayes of 7 man are as graſſe: as a flower of the field, 7 florifeth he.

16 For the winde goeth ouer it, and it is gone, and the place thereof shall knowe it no more.

17 But the louing kindenesse of the Lorde endureth for[ee]r & euer vpon them that feare him, and his 8 righteounesſe vpon childrens children,

18 Vnto them that keepe his 1 couenaunt, and thinke vpon his commaundementes to do them.

19 The Lorde hath prepared his throne in heauen, and his kingdome ruleth ouer all.

20 Praiſe the Lord, ye 9 his Angels, that excell in ſtrength, that do his commandement in obeying the voye of his word.

21 Praiſe the Lorde, all ye his hoſtes, ye his ſeruants that do his pleasure.

22 Praiſe the Lorde, all ye his workes, in all places of his dominion: my foule, prayſe thou the Lorde.

f Seingoue haueth the chers of the Churche out of the world, and

g He waketh his duines to praiſe God, the lewing that both under, ad�ing and affeactiues, minde and heart are to little to let forth his p[ra]ſaſt.

h This is the beginning and chiefest of all benefits: reſuſtment of time.

i For[ee] that we have remission of our finnes, we are as deade men in the graue.

Benedic anima mea.

1 An excellent Psalm to praise God for the creation of the world, the governance of the same by his marvellous providence, 35 therein the Prophet prays against the wicked, who are occasions that God diminished his blessings.

1 M Y soule, pray se thou the Lord: O Lord my God, thou art exceeding great, thou art a clothed with glorie and honour.
2 Which couereth himselle with light as with a garment, and is spreadeth the heauens like a curtain.
3 Which layeth the beames of his chambers in the waters, and maketh the cloudes his chariot, and walketh vpon the wings of the winde.
4 Which b maketh the spirites his messengers, and a flaming fire his minifters.
5 He set the earth vpon her fundations, so that it shal neuer moue.
6 Thou couered it with the c deepe as with a garment: the d waters would stand aboue the mountains.
7 But at thy rebuke they flee: at the voice of thy thunder they haſte away.
8 And the mountains alcende, and the valleis defend to the place which thou haſt established for them.
9 But thou haſt them a bounde, which they shall not pafle: they shal not returne to couer the earth.
10 Hee fendeth the springes into the valleyes, which runne betwene the mountains.
11 They shall giue drinke to all the c beafeles of the fielde, and the wilde affes shall quench their thirt.
12 By these f springs shall the foules of the heauen dwell, and sing among the branches.
13 He watereth the mountains from his schambers, and the earth is filled with the fruite of thy workes.
14 He caueth graffe to growe for the cattel, and herbe for the vfe of h man, that he may bring forth bread out of the earth,
15 And wine that maketh glad the heart of mā, and oyle to make the face to shine, and bread that strengtheneth mans heart.
16 The high trees are satisfied, c uen the cedars of Lebanon, which he hath planted,
17 That the birdes may make their neſtes there: the forke dwelleth in the firre trees.
18 The high mountains are for the n goates: the rockes are a refuge for the conies.
19 Hee appoynted the i moone for certaine feaſons: k the funne knoweth his going downe.
20 Thou makest darkeneſſe, and it is nyght, wherein all the beafeles of the forreſt creepe forth.
21 The lions roare after their pray, & seeke their meate l at God.
22 When the funne rifereth, they retire, & couche in their dennes.
23 m Then goeth man forth to his worke, and to his labour vntill the euening.
24 O Lord, howe n manifolde are thy workes! wifedome haſt thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches.
25 He maketh his angels spirits: and his minifters a flaming fire.
26 He layde the foundations of the earth: that it neuer should moue at any time.
27 Thou couered it with the deepe like as is a garment: the waters stand in the hills.
28 At thy rebuke the thee klee: at the bope of thy thunder they are afraid.
29 They go by as high as the hilles, a downe to the valleys beneath: euen unto the place which thou haſt appoynted for them.
30 Thou haſt them their boundes, which they shall not pafle: neither turne againe to couer the earth.
31 Hee fendeth the springes into the riveres: which runne among the hilles.
32 All beafeles of the fielde dinke thereof: and the wilde affes quench their thirt.
33 Belide them shall the foules of y apre hane their habitation: a ling ameng the branches.
34 He watereth the hilles from aboue: the earth is filled with the fruite of thy workes.
35 He bringeth forth graffe for the cattel: and greene herbe for the seruice of men.
36 That he may bring foode out of the earth, & wine that maketh glad the heart of man: and oyle to make him a theatrefull countenance, and bread to strengthen mans heart.
37 The trees of the Lord also are ful of kappe: euen the Cedars of Libanus, which he hath planted.
38 Wherein the birdes make their neſts: and the firre trees are a dwelling for f Stowe.
39 The high hilles are a refuge for the wilde Goates: and so are the stonie rockes for the Conies.
40 He appoynted the Moone for certaine feaſons: and the Sunne knoweth his going downe.
41 Thou makest darkeneſſe, that it may bee night: wherein all the beafeles of the forest do moone.
42 The Lions roaring after their praye: doe seeke their meate at God.
43 The Sunne arifeth, and they get them a way together: and lap them downe in their dennes.
44 Man goeth forth to his worke, and to his labour: vntil the euening.
45 O Loide, how manifolde are thy workes: in wifedome haſt thou made them all; the earth is full of thy riches.

a The Pious father thereth that we may not enter into the heauens to take God for alway much as at the sayer of nature with the pious prieſe and placing of the elements, are most helpfull microwes to take his maies flie in.
b As the Pious father here thereth that all wbole powers are red to serue God: so to the Apoſtle to the Church, i.e., he holdeth in this glaſe, how the deep angels also are obedient to his commandment.
c Thou makest the fea to be an ornament un to the earth.
d If he rup power thou drilſt not his blade the rage of the waters, it were not possible but the whole wbole should be deftroped.
e If God pious for the deep beaſes, much more will he extende his pionient care to man.

15 Touch not mine h anointed, and do my i Prophets no harme.

16 Moreover he called a famine vpon the land, and vtterly brake the k staffe of bread.

17 But he sent a man before them : Ioseph was solde for a flaue.

18 They helde his feete in the stockes, and he was layed in yrons,

19 Vntill his appoynted time came, and the confell of the Lord had tryed him.

20 The King sent and loofed him: euen the Ruler of the people his subſtance,

21 He made him lorde of his houſe, and ruler of all his ſubſtance,

22 That he shouldle binde his m princes vnto his will, and teach his Ancients wifdome.

23 Then Ifael came to Egypt, and Iaakob was a ftranger in the land of Ham.

24 And hee increaſed his people exceedingly, and made them ſtronger then their oppreſſours.

25 n He turned their heart to hate his people, & to deale craftily with his ſeruants.

26 Then ſent he Moſes his ſeruant, and Aaron whome he had choſen.

27 They ſhewed among them the meſage of his ſignes, and wonders in the lande of Ham.

29 * He turned their waters into blood, and flew their fire.

30 * Their lande brought forth frogges, euen in their Kings chambers.

31 He p spake, and there came ſwarmes of flies and lice in all their quarters.

32 He gaue them q hayle for rayne, and flames of fire in their land.

33 He ſmote their vines also and their fig trees, and brake downe the trees in their coaſtes.

34 He spake, and the graſhoppers came, and caſterpillers innumerable,

35 And did eate vp all the graſſe in their land, & deuoured the ſruite of their ground.

36 * He ſmote al the firſt borne in their land, euen the beginning of all their ſtrength.

38 Egypt was c glad at their departing : for the feare of them had fallen vpon them.

39 He ſpred a cloude to be a couering, and fire to giue light in the night.

40 They u asked, and he brought quailes, and he filled them with the bread of heauen.

41 He opened the rocke, and the waters flowed out, and ran in the dry places like a riuer.

42 For he remembred his holie x promises to A-braham his ſeruant,

17 But he had ſent a man before him : euen Ioseph which was fold to be a bond ſeruant.

18 Whole feete they hurt in the stockes : the p[ro]von entred into his ſoule.

19 Untill the time came that his cauſe was knowne: the word of the Lord tryed him.

20 The kiing ſent a deuіuered him: the p[ri]ince of the people let him goe free.

OBLIVION with thy falation.

5. That I may see the felicitie of thy chosen: a

6. We have finned with our fathers: we haue
done amisse, and dealt wickedly.

7. Our fathers regarded not thy wonders in
Egypt, neither kept they thy great goodnes
in remembrance: but were disobedient at
the sea, even at the red Sea.

8. Neuerthelesse, he helped the so for his names
fake: that he might make his power to bee

9. He rebuked the red sea also, and it was di-

throughe a wilderneffe.

10. And hee fauned them from the aduerfaries
hand: and deliuered them from the hand of
the enemie.

11. As for those that troubled them, the
waiers overwhelmed them: there was not
one of them left.

12. Then beleeued they his words: and sang
prayse vnto him.

13. But within a while they forgate his
works: and would not abide his countinable.

14. But luft came vpon them in the wilder-

15. And he gaue them their desire: and sent
jeanneffie withall into their soule.

16. They angred Moſes also in the tents: and
Aaron the fauent of the Lord.

17. So the earth opened, and I wallowed vp
Dathan: and covered the congregation of
Abiram.

18. And the fire was kindled in their compa-

19. They made a Calfe in Horeb: and wooed
shipped the molten image.

20. Thus they turned their glorie: into the ki-
militude of a Calfe that eateth hap.

21. And they forgate God their fauour: which
had done so great things in Egypt.

22. Wondrous workes in the lande of Ham:
and fearefull things by the red Sea.

23. So he laid he would haue destroyed them,

24. Sea, they thought come of that pleasant

6. Wee haue d finned with our fathers: wee

7. Our fathers vnderstoode not thy wonders in
Egypt, neyther remembred they the multi-
tude of thy mercies, but rebelled at the Sea, e-
uen at the red Sea.

8. Neuerthelesſe he c fauèd them for his Names
fake, that hee might make his power to bee

9. And he rebuked the red Sea, and it was dryed
vp, and he led them in the deepe, as in the wil-

10. And he fauèd them from the aduerfaries
hande, and deliuered them from the hande of
the enemie.

11. * And the waters couered their oppreſsours:
not one of them was left.

12. Then f beleeued they his wordes, and ſang

13. But incontinently they forgate his workes:
they wayted not for his c counsel,

14. But luſted with concupiſcence in the wilder-

15. Then he gaue them their desire: but hee ſent

16. They enuyed Moſes also in the tents, and Aa-

17. Therefore the earth opened & i swallowed vp

18. And the fire was kindled in their affemblie:

20. Thus they turned their k glorie into the ſimi-

21. They forgate God their Sauiour, which had

3 And gathered them out of the landes, from
the East from the West: from the North
and from the South.

4 They went aft rayp in the wildernes out of
the way: and found no citie to dwell in.

5 Hungrie and thirtie: their ſoule faynted in
them.

6 So they cried vnto the Lord in their trouſe:
and he deliuered them from their diſtresse.

7 He led them forth by y right way: that they
might go to the citie where they dwelt.

8 D that men would therfore praisethe Lord
for his goodnes: and declare the wonders
that he doeth for the children of men.

9 For he satisfieth the empty ſoule: and fillet
the hungrie ſoule with goodnes.

10 Such as fit in darkeneſſe and in the ſhadowe of death: beþng fast bound in imſterie
and yon.

11 Because they rebelled againſt the wordes
of the Lord: and lightly regarded the counſail of the moſt high.

12 He alſo brought down their heart through
heaueneſſe: they fell downe, and there was
none to helpe them vp.

13 So when they cried vnto the Lord in their

14 For he brought them out of darkenes, and
out of the shadow of death: and brake their

15 D that men would therfore praiseth Lord

17 Fooliſh men are plagued for their offence:
and because of their wickedneſſe.

18 Their ſoule abhored all maner of meate:
and they were even hard at deaths doore.

3 And gathered them out of the landes, from the

6 Then they cryed vnto the Lorde in their

8 Let them therefore confesse before the Lord

11 Because they d rebelled againſt the wordes of

13 Then they e cryed vnto the Lorde in their

33 Which turneth the floods into a wilder-

35 Algaine he maketh the wildernesse a stan-

16 His delight was in curling, a it ſhall have pen vnto him: he loued not bleſſing, therefore ſhal it be farre from him.

17 He clothed himselfe with curling like as v a rayment: a it ſhall come into his bowels like water, and like oyle into his bones.

18 Let it be vnto him as the cloke that he hath vpon him: a as the girdle that he is alway girded withall.

19 Let it thus happen from the Lorde vnto mine enemies: and to those that ſpeake euill against my ſoule.

20 But deale thou with mee (O Lorde God) according vnto thy name: so kветe is thy mercie.

21 Deliuer me, for I am helpeſſe a poore: and my heart is wounded within me.

22 I go hence like a shadow that departeth: and am diuuen away as the Graſhopper.

23 As my knees are weake through faſting: my ſelfe is dyed vp so: want of fatneſſe.

24 I became also a rebuke vnto them: they that looked vpon me, shaked their heads.

25 Helfe me (O Lorde my God:) o hae me mee according to thy mercie.

26 And they that haſ knowe how that this is thy hand: and that thou Lorde haſt done it.

27 Though they curſe, yet bleſſe thou: and let them be confounded that rile vp against me, but let thy ſeruant reioyce.

28 Let mine aduerſaries be clothed as thame: and let them couer them ſelues with their owne confusion, as with a cloke.

29 As for me, I will giue great thanks vnto the Lorde with my mouth: and prayſe him among the multitude.

9 It is better to trust in the Lord: then to put any confidence in princes.

11 They haue compassed me, yea, they haue compassed me: but in the Name of the Lord I shall destroy them.

10 All nations compassed me round about: but in the name of the Lord will I destroye them.

12 They came about me like bees, but they were quenched as a fire of thornes: for in the Name of the Lord I shall destroye them.

11 They kept me in on every side, they kept me in (I say) on every side: but in the name of the Lord will I destroye them.

c How long will thou affect the feruant ? d They haue not onely up priched me but alway, but also to craftie conspired against me. e They affureth him that God will beliue his and selfe much as unmanly priched the. f Finding no helpe in earth, he lefteth up his eyes to heauen.

a Because none should reuerent Gods woebe according to the changes of things in this world, he therethat he abideth in heauen, and therefore is unmuttable. b復ing the earth and all creatuures re maine in that estate, wherein thou haft creased the, much more the trueth remaineth castant and unchangeable. c He proueth by effect, that he is Gods childe, because he knoweth to understand his woebe latterly for euer.

a He theweth that we cans not loue Gods woebe, except we ercetite our felines therein and practice it. b When heuereth himselfe, himeth one to gods woebe, shall not onely be fae against us, but also to bear more woebe, then he that piofesse it, and are men of experience,

d If I forget thee, O Ieruſalem, let my ryghthand forget to play.

If I doe not remember thee, let my tongue cleaue to the rooſe of my mouth: yea, if I preferre not Ieruſalem to my chiefe ioye.

Remember the children of Edom, O Lord, in the ſaye of Ieruſalem, which ſayde, Rafe it, rafe it to the fundation therof.

O daughter of Babel, worthy to be destroyed, blessed ſhal he be that rewardeth thee, as thou haſt ſerued vs.

h Blessed ſhal he be that taketh and daſheth thy children against the ſtones.

a That is, we abode a long time: and alway that the country was p[le]ſaunt, perſuadeth it not, neuer to nap our teares, nor turne vs from the true ſeruice of our God.
b To wit, of that country.
c The Baſhoniannes ſpake thus in moſt king vs, as though by our ſilence we should ſignife that we hoped no more in God.
d Albeit the faithfull are touched with their particuſar grieſes, yet the common ſoſow of the Church is moſt grieuons but them, and are much as they can not but reſmember and lament.

e The decay of God's religion in their country was so grieuons, that no iopie could make them glad, except it were reſtoſed. f According as Echiel 25, 13, g Jeremiah 49, 7, h Prophets: g Diuſiah veri. 10, that Godeth that h Edomites, which cairns of Eau, compared with the Baſhoniannes against their h[ir]bien and kinſefolke. g When thou didst build Ieruſalem. h He alwayeth to Joaues p[ro]pheſie chapt. i, and 16. h[ir]bien p[ro]uſeth god ſuccesse to Epius and Darius, whom ambition moveth to ſight against Baſhan: but God died them as his rods to puniſhe his enemies.

B the waters of Babylö we ſate down and wept: when we remembred (thee) D Sion.

2 As for our harps, we hanged them bp: bp the trees that are therein.

3 For they that led vs away captive, required of vs then a ſong and melodie in our heauinesſe : ſing vs one of the ſongs of Sion.

4 Howe shall we ſing the Loſdes ſong: in a ſtrange land?

5 If I [ forget thee, D] Hieruſalem : let my right hand forget her cumming.

6 If I doo not remember thee, let my tongue cleaue to the rooſe of my mouth: yea, if I preferre not Hieruſalem in my mirth.

7 Remember the children of Edom, D Lord, in the day of Hieruſalem: howe they ſayde, doſome with it, doſome with it, euen to the ground.

8 D daughter of Babylon, walled with miſerie: yea, happeie shall he be that rewardeth thee as he haſt ſerued vs.

9 Blessed ſhal he be that taketh thy children; and thioeth them against the ſtones.

h That is, the magnify, pour, and gloriſe of his Church.

e He allmeth himself to that contrißment and quietnes that they should have, if they would suffer God to rule them.
f This is chiefest accomplished in the kingdom of Chriſt, when God's people for inſuſ causes create God's enemies, against his enemies: and it grieues no liberty to any to reduce their private inſtitutes.

Cantate Domino.

O Sing vnto the Lorde a newe song: let the congregation of Saintes prayſe him.

2 Let Israel reioyce in him that made him: and let the children of Sion be ioyfull in their king.

3 Let them prayſe his name in the daunce: let them ſing præifes vnto him with Tabnet and harpe.

4 For the Lorde hath pleafure in his people: and helpeth the meeke hearted.

5 Let the Saintes bee ioyfull with glorie: let them reioyce in their beddes.

6 Let the prayſes of God bee in their mouth: and a two edged Sword in their hands.

7 To be auenged of the heathen: and to re-buke the people.

8 To binde their kings in chaynes: and their nobles with linkes of yron.

9 That they may bee auenged of them, as it is written: Lucht honour haue all his Saintes.

Psal. cl.

l An exhortation to præife the Lorde without cease by all maner of wapes, for all his mighty and wonderfull workes.

Prayſe ye the Lord.

O Præife God in his holines: præife him in the firmament of his power.

1 Præife him in his noble actes: præife him according to his excellent greatnes.

2 Præife him in the founde of the Trumpet: præife him vpon the Lute and Harpe.

3 Præife him in the Cymbales and daunce: præife him vpon the strings and pipe.

4 Præife him vpon the wel tuned Cymbales: præife him vpon the loude Cymbales.

5 Let euery thing that hath breath præife the Lorde.

1 M. Monne forget not thou my Lawe,

2 For they shall increase the length of thy

3 Let not b mercie and trueth foſlake thee:
binde them on thy c necke, and wnite them
upon the table of thine d heart.

4 So that thou finde fauour and good in-
dersanding in the light of God and man.

5 Ceust in the Lord with all thine heart,
and leane not onto thine owne wildome.

6 In al thy wayes acknowledge him, and he
shall direct thy wayes.

7 We not wife in thine own eyes: but keepe
the Lord, and depart from euil.

8 So health albe unto thy e nauel, and ma-
rowe vnto thy bones.

9 Honour the Lord with thy riches, a with
the first fruits of all thine increase.

10 So shall thy barnes be filled with abun-
dance, and the pessels that shall burst with new
wine.

11 CMy bome, refuse not the chaſtening of

12 For the Lord correcteth him, whom he
loueth, euen as the father doeth the childe

13 For to the

13 Blesſed is the man that findeth wildome,
and the man that getteth understanding.

14 For the marchandife thereof is better then
the marchandife of siluer, and the game
thereof is better then golde.

15 It is more precious then pearles: and all
things that thou canst delire, are not to be
compared vnto her.

16 Length of dayes is in her right hand, h and
in her left hand riches and gloz.

17 Her wayes are wayes of pleasure, and all
her paths ploperite.

18 She is a tree of life to them that lay hold

her.

19 The Lord by wildome hath laid the k fun-

heauens through understanding.

20 By his knowledge the depths are broken
up, and the clouds drop downe the Dewe.

21 By his name, let not thele things Depart from

22 So they shall life to thy soule, and grace

23 Then thou walke safely by thy way:
and thy foote shall not stumble.

24 If thou sleepeſt, thou shall not be aftayd,
and when thou sleepeſt, thy sleepe shall
sweete.

25 Thouhalt not feare for any sudden feare,
neither for the ¹ destruction of the wicked,
when it commeth.

26 For the Lord halbe for thine affurance, a
shall preferue thy foote from taking.

27 CWithhold not the good from m the ow-

28 Say not onto thy neighbour, Go a come

30 Strive not with a man cauſeſſelle, when

31 We not e nuious for the wicked man,
neither chufe any of his wayes.

32 For the froward is abomination vnto the

5 Get wifedome: get understanding: get not, neither decline from the words of my mouth.

6 Forake her not, and she shall keepe thee: lone her and she shall preferre thee.

11. Therefore thy pouertie commeth as one that dtrauauileth by the way, and thy neces:litie like e an armed man.

12. The birthoftie man fand the wicked man walketh with a froward mouth.

13. He maketh a signe with his eyes: he fig:uritheth with his feete: he instructeth with his fingers.

14. Leade things are in his heart: he imagi: neth evil at all tunes, and raieth vp conten: tions.

15. Therefore shall his destruction come spee: dilp: he shall be destroyed suddenly without recoverie.

16. These fex things doeth the Lord hate: yea, his soule abhorreth seuen :

17. The hautie eyes a ng tongue, and the hands that shed innocent blood,

18. An heart that imagineth wicked enter: priles, h feete that be swift in running to mischiefe,

19. A falle witnes that speaketh lies, & him that raieth vp contentions among bis: thyns.

20. Myfonne, keepe the fathers commandment, and forlake not thy mothers in: struction.

21. Binde them alway upon thine heart, and: eye them about thy nerke.

22. It shall leade thee, when thou wakkest: it shall watch for thee, when thou sleepeft, and when thou wakeft, it shall taffe with thee.

23. For the commandement is a lanterne, & instruction a light: and corrections for: in: struction are the way of life,

24. To keepe thee from the wicked woman, and from the flatterie of the tongue of a strange woman.

25. Deure not her beaute in thine heart: ne:ther let her take thee with her: the hodes.

26. For because of the whoath woman a man is brought to a molet of bread, & a woman will hunt for the precious life of a man.

27. Can a man take fire in his bolome, and his clothes not be burnt?

28. Or can a man go upon coles, and his feete not be burnt?

29. So he that goeth in to his neighbours

wife, shall not be innocent, wholc euver tou:eth her.

30. Men do not despite a thiefe, when hee stealeth, to satiſſe his P soule, because he is hungry.

31. But if he be found, he shall reſtore ſeuen ſolde, or he shall giue all the substance of his house.

32. But he that committeth adulterie with a woman, he is deſtitute of under: standing: he that doeth it, destroyeth his owne ſoule.

33. He shall find a wound and dishonour, a his transpoch shall neuer be put away.

34. For telouſe is the rage of a man: therefore he will not spare in the day of vengance.

35. He can not beare the light of any raiſome: neither will he consent, though thou au:ment the gifts.

Gods Lawe nor the lawes of nature admiſteth any raiſome for the adulterie.

THE PARABLES OF SAIONOM

Chap. 15:20.

I.

A wife *somme maketh a glad father but a foolish one is an heauines to his mother.

The treasures of wickednes: a profite nothing: but rightcounnes delivereth from death.

3 The Lord will not familie the foule of the righteous : but he casteth away the substance of the wicked.

4 A flouthful hand maketh pooze: but the hand of the diligent maketh riche.

5 He that gathereth in sommer, is the sonne of wurdome: but he that sleepeth in haruest, is the sonne of confusion.

6 Blessings are upon the head of the righteous: but iniquitie shall cover the mouth of the wicked.

7 The memorial of the inust chalbe blessed: but the name of the wicked shall *rotte.

8 The wife in heart will receive commandments; but the foolish in *talke chalbe beaten.

9 He that walketh brightly, walketh "boldly": but he that peruerteth his wayes, shall be knowne.

10 He that winketh with the eye, worketh in one, and he that is *foolish in talke, shall he beaten.

11 The mouth of a righteous man is a weeping of life: but iniquitie couereth the mouth of the wicked.

12 Hatred stirreth bp contentions: * but loue couereth all tredpesses.

13 In the lippes of him that hath understanding wife dome is found, and *a rod shall be for the backe of him that is defitute of wife dome.

14 Wile men lay vp knowledge: but *my mouth of the fool is a prefent destruction.

15 The riche man's goods are his *strongtie: but *his feare of the needie is their poverie.

16 The labour of the righteous tendeth to life: but the revenues of the wicked to sinne.

17 He that regardeth instructioun, is in the way of life: but he that refuseth correction, goeth out of the way.

18 He that dissembleth hatred with lying lips, and he that inuenteth flander, is a fool.

19 In many words there cannot want iniquitie: but he that refrayneth his lippes, is wife.

20 The tongue of *my man is as fined filler: but the heart of the wicked is little worthy.

21 The lippes of the righteous do *feede man: but fools shall die for want of wife dome.

22 The blessing of the Lord, it maketh riche, he doeth adde *no sinowes with it.

23 It is as a pastime to a foole to do wickedly: but wife dome is understanding to a man.

24 That which the wicked feareth, shall come upon him: but God will grant the defite of the righteous.

25 As the whirle winde palfeth, so is the wicke no more: but the righteous is as an euerlasting foundation.

26 As vineger is to the teeth, and as smoke to the eyes, so is the slouthful to them that lend.

*feare of the Lord increaseth the dates: the yeres of the wicked *shall be diminuie.

ciate with his owne wayes : but a good man shall depart from him.

15 The foolitsh will beleeue every thing : but the prudent will consider his steppes.

16 A wife man feareth, and departeth from euil: but a fooler ragereth, and is carelesse.

17 He that is haſtie to anger, committeth soſe, and a † haſle bodie is hated.

18 The foolitsh do inhere ſollie; but the prudent are crowned with knowledge.

19 The euil shall bowe before the good, and the wicked ‡ at the gates of the righteouſ.

20 The poore is hated euen of his owne neighbour; but the friends of the riche are manie.

21 The inner deſpith his neighbour: but he that hath mercy on the poore, is bleſſed.

22 Do not they erre that imagine euil: but to them that thinke on good things, halſe mercy, and trueth.

23 In all labour there is abundance : but the talke of the lippes bringeth onely want.

24 The crowne of the wife is their riches, and the ſollie of fooles is foolishnes.

25 A faithfull witnes deliuereth ſoules : but a deceuer speaketh lies.

26 In the fear of the Lord is an assured strength, and his children shall have hope.

27 The fear of the Lord is as a welpring of life, to auoide the sinnes of death.

28 In the multitude of the ¹ people is the honouer of a King, and for the want of people commeth the destruction of the prince.

29 He that is flow to wath, is of great wife-dome : but he that is of an haſtie minde, exalteth ſollie.

30 A found heart is the life of the † ſelſh: but emue is the rotting of the bones.

31 *He that oppreſeth the poore, reproueth him that made him; but he honoureth him, that hath mercie on the poore.

32 The wicked halbe cast away for his man-lice: but the righteouſ hath hope in his death.

33 Wisedome resteth in the heart of him that hath understanding, and is knowen in the middes of fooles.

34 Justice exalteth a nation, "but funne is a † hame to the people."

35 The pleasure of a King is in a wife ſeruath: but his wath halbe towarde him that is lewde.

CHAP. XV.

1

A *Soft anſwere putteth away wath: but grienous woſdes ſirre vp anger.

The tongue of the wife beſeth knowledge aright: but the mouth of fooles * bableth out foolishnes.

3 The eyes of the Lord in every place behold the euil and the good.

4 A wholesome tongue is as a tree of life: but the krowardnes thereof is the breaking of the minde.

5 A fool deſpith his fathers instructiſ: but he that regardeth correction, is prudent.

6

The houſe of the righteouſ hath much treaſure: but in the revenues of the wicked is a trouble.

7

The lippes of the wife do spread abroad knowledge : but the heart of the foolitsh doeth not to.

8

The ‡ sacrifice of the wicked is abominatiſon to the Lord : but the prayer of the righteouſ is acceptable unto him.

9

The way of the wicked is an abomination unto the Lord : but he loueth him that followeth righteouſnes.

10

Inſtruction is euil to him that ¢ forſaketh the way, and he that hateth correction, shall dye.

11

d Hel and deſtruction are before the Lord: how much more the hearts of the ſonnes of men?

12

A corner loueth not him that rebuketh him, neither will he go into the wife.

13

* A toſful heart maketh a chereful countenance: but by the ſoſowe of the heart the minde is heaue.

14

The heart of him that hath understanding, keeeth knowledge : but the mouth of the ſoſle is fed with foolishnes.

15

All the dayes of the afflicted are euil: but a good † confidence is a continual keast.

16

* Better is a little with the fear of the Lord, then great treaſure a trouble therewith.

17

Better is a dinner of groene herbes where loue is, then a ſalled ore and hatred therewith.

18

* An angrie man stirreth vp strike: but he that is flowe to wath, appealeth strike.

19

The way of a flouthful man is as an hedge of c™ thomes : but the way of the righteouſ is plaine.

20

* A wife ſonne reioyeth the father: but a foolish man deſpith his mother.

21

Foolishnes is toy to him that is deſtitute of understanding: but a man of understanding walketh vprightly.

22

Without couſel thoughts come to nought: but in the multitude of counsellors there is ſked fastnes.

23

A toſy commeth to a man by the anſwere of his mouth: and how good is a word in due season?

24

The way of life is on high to the prudent, to auoide from hell beneath.

25

The Lord will deſtroye the houſe of the pionde men: but he will stablish the borders of the widowe.

26

The thoughts of the wicked are abominatiſon to the Lord; but the pure haue ple่าnt woſdes.

27

He that is greedie of gaine, troubleth his owne houſe: but he that hateth giltes, shall line.

28

The heart of the righteouſ studieth to anſwere: but the wicked mans mouth bableth euil things.

29

The Lord is farre of from the wicked: but he heareth the prayer of the righteouſ.

33 The fear of the Lord is the instruction of

CHAP. XVI.

T he a preparations of the heart are in
man : but the answere of the tongue
is of the Lord.

All the wayes of a man are b cleane in his
owne eyes: but the Lord pondereth the
spirites.

² Commit thy workes into the Lord, & thy thoughts halbe directed.

4 The Lord hath made al things for his own
fake: yea, even the wicked for the day of e-
nil.

5 All that are proud in heart, are an abomina-
tion to the Lord: though * hande ioyne in
hand, he shall not be unpunished.

6 By d mercie and trueth inquitieth halbe for-
given, and by the feare of the Lord they de-
part from euil.

7 When the wayes of a man please § Lord,
he wil make alio his enemies at peace with
him.

8 * Better is a little with rightcounes, then
great revenues without equitie.

9 The heart of man c purpoeth his way; but
the Lord doeth direct his steppes.

10 A divine sentence halbe in the lippes of the
King : his mouth shall not transgresse in
judgement.

11 * I true weight and balance are of the
Lord: all the weights of the bagge are his
f worke.

12 It is an abomination to Kings to commit
wickednes: for the chone is stablished s by
justice.

13 Righteous lippes are the delite of Kings,
and the king loueth him that speaketh right
things.

14 The wath of a King is as h messengers of
death; but a wife man wil pacifice it.

15 In the light of the Kings countenance is
life: and his favour is i as a cloude of
the latter raine.

16 * How much better is it to get wisedome
then golde? and to get understanding, is
more to be desired then filuer.

17 The path of the righteous is to decline
from euil, and he keepeth his soule, that kee-
peth his way.

18 Pride goeth before destruction, as an high
minde before the fall.

19 Better it is to be of humble minde with
the lowly, then to deuide the spoyles with
the pronde.

20 He that is wife in his busines, shall finde
good: and * he that trusteth in the Lord, he
is blessed.

21 The wife in heart halbe called prudent:
and k the sweetnes of the lips shall increase
doctrine.

22 Understanding is a wellspring of life into
them that haue it : and the ¹ instruction of
fooles is folie.

23 The heart of the wife guideth his mouth
wisely, and addeth doctrine to his lippes.

24 Kaye wordes are as an hone combe,
sweetenes to the soule, and healthy to the
bones.

25 * There is a waye that seemeth right unto
man: but the pvalue thereof are the wayes of
death.

26 The person that traueileth, traueileth for
himselfe: for his mouth² craueth it of him.

27 A wicked man diggeth vp euil, and in his
lippes is like m burning fire.

28 A frowarde person soweth ³ strike: and a
tale teller maketh diffusion among princes.

29 A wicked man deceieth his neighbour,
and leadeth him into the way that is not
good.

30 n He buteth his eies to deuile wickednes:
he moueth his lippes, and bringeth euil to
palle.

31 Age is a crowne of glory, when it is found
in the way of c rightcounes.

32 He that is slowe unto anger, is better then
the mightie man : and he that ruleth his
owne minde, is better then he that winneth
a citie.

c For the messer is ment in man, and so GodLik to punish the re徒. c And because he meneth the wicked in his race, who hath no fear of God.

g What if any man kept it the wic, he to be rich, fancing he fes, t not his minde to wifes houre.

l That is, fes, fes, and out of the boome of the French.

n For their bad doing.

o He that las
urd wifome, but feparate himselfe from all unper
unser, p give himselfe who, to feser.

p That is, that he manke hekendly of what heuereth commeth to minde.

q Marhing, fuch one as commeneth al others.

r Ubigch can neuer be darren emp, but being eure ftofet.

s That is, to faunor him and fupper him,

a cruel c messenger shall be sent against him.

12 It is better for a man to meete a beare robbed of her whelpes, then a foon in his folie.

13 He that rewardeth euil for good, euil shall not depart from his house.

14 The beginning of strike is as one that opeth the waters : therefore or the contention be medled with, leane of.

15 *He that iustifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the iust, euen they both are abomination to the Lord.

16 Wherefore is there a price in the hande of the foole to get wifedome, and hee hath none heart?

17 A friend loueth at all times: and h a brother is borne fo; aduerlie.

18 A man defitute of understanding touche the hand, and becommeth suretie for his neighbour.

19 He loueth transgression, that loueth strike: and he that exalteth his gate, leeketh destruction.

20 The froward heart findeth no good: and he that hath a naughtie tongue, shall fall into euil.

21 He that begetteth a foole, gettech him felfe sofowe, and the father of a foole can haue no ioye.

22 * A topful heart caueth good health : but a houofull minde dyeth the bones.

23 A wicked man taketh a gift out of the boome to wright the wayes of judgement.

24 * Wifedome is in the face of him that hath understanding : but the eyes of a foole are in the m corners of the world.

25 A foolish fonne is a griefe unto his father, and a * heauines to her that bare him.

26 Surely it is not good to condemneth the iust, nor that the princes should smite such f for equitie.

27 He y that hath knowledge, fpareth his words, and a man of understanding is of an excellent spirit.

28 Even a foole (when he holdeth his peace) is counted wife, and hee that stoppeth his lippes, prudent.

CHAP. XVIII.

1 Or the desire thereof he wil a separate himselfe to keeke it, and occupie himselfe in all wifedome.

2 A foole hath no delite in understanding: but that his heart may be discovered.

3 When the wicked commeth, then commeth contempt, and with the vile man re-proche.

4 The words of a mans mouth are like deepe waters, and the wellpizing of wifedome is like a flowing river.

5 It is not good to c accept the person of the wicked, to cause the righteous to fall in judgement.

6 A fooles lippes come with strike, and his mouth calleth for stripes.

7 A fooles mouth is his owne destruction,

and his lippes are a snare for his foule.

8 The words of a tale bearer are as flatte-rings, and they go downe into the fowles of the bellie.

9 He alfo that is flouthfull in his woke, is euen the brother of him that is a great waster.

10 The Name of the Lord is a strong tozethe righteous runneth s unto it, and is eplalted.

11 The rich mans riches are his strong citie; and as an hie wall in his imagination.

12 * Before destruction the heart of a man is haunie, and before gloie goeth lowly nesse.

13 * He that answereth a matter before he heare it, it is folie and thame vnto him.

14 The spirit of a man will fustaine his infirmity: but h a wounded spirit, who can beare it?

15 A wife heart getteth knowledge, and the care of the wife leeketh learning.

16 A mans gift i enlargeth him, and leadeth him before great men.

17 k He that is first in his owne cause, is iust then commeth his neighbour, and maketh inquiture of him.

18 The lot 1 caueth contentions to cease, and m maketh a partition among the mightie.

19 A brother offended is harder to winne then a strong citie, and their contentions are like the m barre of a palace.

20 With the fruite of a mans mouth shall his belly be satisfied, and with the increase of his lippes shall he be filled.

21 Death a life are in the power of the tongue, and they that loue it, shall eate the fruite thereof.

22 He that findeth p a wife, findeth a good thing, and receveth fauour of the Lord.

23 The poore speaketh with praiers : but the riche answereth roughly.

24 A man that hath friends, ought to the hee himselfe friendly : for a friende isACCETRERENTLY then a brother.

q That is, oft times such are founde which are moje radie to do pleature then he that is moje bounde by dietie.

CHAP. XIX.

B Better * is the poore that walketh in his opightnes, then he that abuseth his lippes, and is a foole.

12 For without knowledge the minde is not good, and he that hafeth with his keete, finneth.

3 The foolishnes of a man peruerteth his waye, and his heart kreateth against the Lord.

4 Riches gather manie friends : but p poore is separated from his neighbour.

12. C A prudent man steeth the plague, and hy-

13. * Take his garment that is luredie to; a
stranger, a pledge of him to; the stranger.

14. He that prayeth his friend with a loude
voce, ryding early in the morning, it shall
be counted to him as a curfe.

15. * A continual dropping in the day of raine,
and a contentious woman are alike.

16. He that hideth her, hideth the winde, and

CHAP. XXVIII.

T He wicked a fice when none purueth:
but the righteous are bolde as a lion.
For the tranfmission of ſi land b there
are many princes thereof: but by a man of
understanding and knowledge a realme
likewise endureth long.

3 A pooze man, if he oppieth the pooze, is like
a raging rayne, that leaueth no foode.

4. They that forake the Lawe, praythe the
wicked : but they that keepe the Lawe, fet
themselues against them.

5. Wicked men understand not iudgement:
but they that feeke the Loide, understand
all things.

6. * Better is the pooze that walketh in his
bpyrightneſe, then hee that peruerteth his
wayes, though he be riche.

7. He that keepeth the Lawe, is a child of un-

be mercifull unto the pooze.

10. He that caueth the righteous to go alway
by an euill way, shall fall into his owne pit,
and the bpyright that alhierbe good things.

11. The riche man is wife in his own conceit:
but the pooze that hath understanding, can
trye c him.

12. * When ryghteous men reioyc, there is
great gloze: but when the wicked come vp,
the man f is tried.

13. He that hideth his funnes, that not proper:
but he that confesseth, and so faketh them,
that haue mercie.

14. Blessed is the man that s feareth alwaye:
but hee that hardeneth his heart, that fall
into euill.

15. As a roaring Lyon, and an hungrie beare,
fo is h a wicked ruler ouer the pooze people.

16. A pince deſtitute of understanding, is al-
fo a great oppreſſour: but he that hateth co-
uctouſnes, that prolong his dayes.

17. A man that doeth violence against the
blood of a perſon, that ffee unto the graue,
and they shall not lay him.

18. He that walketh bpyrightly, that be faued:
but he that is frowarde in his wayes, that

19. * He that tilthe his lande, that be fatified
with bread: but he that followeth the pyle,
that be filled with pouertie.

20. A faithfull man shall abound in bleſſings,
and * he that maketh haſſe to be riche, that
not be innocent.

21. To haue respect of perſons is not good:
for that man will transgrefle for a piece of
k head.

22. A man with a wicked eye hateth to ry-
ches, and knoweth not, that pouertie shall
come upon him.

23. Hee that rebuketh a man, that finde moze
fauour at the length, then he that flattereth
with his tongue.

layeth, it is no tranſgreſſion, is the compa-
nion of a man that defraudeth.

25. He that is of a poudre heart, stirreth vp
strike: but he that trusteth in the Lord, that
be m fat.

26. Hee that truſſeth in his owne heart, is a
foole : but hee that walketh in wildome,
that be delivered.

27. Hee that giueth unto the pooze, shall not
lacke: but he that hideth his eyes, that haue
many curſes.

### THE ARGVMENT.

S. Alomon, as a preacher and one that defred to inſtruct all in the way of faluation, defribeth the deceivable vanities of this world, that man should not be addicted to any thing vnder the funne, but rather inflamed with the defire of the heauely life: therefore he con- futeeth their opinions, which fee their felicite; either in knowledge, or in pleatures, or in dignitie and riches, thawing that mans true fel- cieitie confieth in that that he is vnted with God, and shall enioye his prefence: so that all other things muft be revieth, faue in as much as they furdie vs to attente to this heauely treaſon, which is ſure and permanent, and cannot be found in any other ſau in God alone.

The vanitie of worldly things.

### CHAP. I.

2. All things in this world are full of vanitie, and of none endurance,
13. All manife wifebome is but folie and griefe.

4. Salomon is here called a Preacher, or one that alsoumbefteth the people, because he teacheth the true knowledge of God, and how men ought to palle their life in this tranitioijie wifebome.

5. He condemneth the opiniome of all men that let felicitie in any thing, but in God alone, living that in this wifebome all things are as vanitie and norrigh.

6. Salomon doth not contemne himselfe mans labour in duties, gaine, but he knoweth that there is no full contentation in any thing under the sunne, not in any creature, nor aff much as all things are tranitioijie.

7. One man dieth after an other, and the earth renalseth longe, even to the last day, which yet is full of fire.

8. And the fire, wind and riebers he leteth that the greatest labour and longest hath an end, and therefore there can be no felicitie in this wifebome.

9. Eccles. x. 40, 41.
1. The lea which contemne palfeth all the earth, filleteth the beames thereon, which youre out pings and rivers in to the lea as gaine.

10. He speaketh of times and feales, and things bone in them, which as then haue bene in times past, so come they to palle againe.

11. He pioneth that if anyouer she could haue attreined to felicitie in this wifebome by lasbour and thus bis, he chiefely should haue obtained it, because he had gifts & aludes of God there's unto aboue all other.

12. Man of nauece buath a desir to know, and yet is not able to come to the perfection of knowledge, which is the punishment of time, to humble man, and to teach him to depend only upon God. k Man is not able by all his diligence to auide things to go otherwise than then do : neither can he number the faulthes that are committed, much leſe remedie them. 1 That is, baine thing, which (because of pleyre, where in was no commodiuе, but griefe and trouble of confidence, m Wisedome and knowledge cannot be come by without great paine of добie and minde : for when a man hathe attained to the ſtyle, yet is his minde never fully content : therefore in this wifebome is no true felicitie.

He words of h = Preacher, the sonne of Dauid King in Jeruſalem.

b. Vanitie of vanities, layeth the Preacher: vanitie of vanities, all is vanitie.

What remaineth into man in al his tranitioijie, which he suffreth under the funne?

4. One generation palfeth, and another generation succeedeth: but the earth remapneth for ever.

5. The funne rypeth, & the funne goeth down, and diaweth to his place, where he rypeth.

6. The wind goeth toward the South, and compafſeth toward the North; the wind goeth rounde about, and returneth by his circuites.

7. All the rivers goe into the lea, yet the lea is not full: for the rivers go into the place, whome they returne, and go.

8. All things are full of labour: man can not utter it: the eye is not fatiſhed with ſeeing, nor the eare filled with hearing.

9. What is it that hath bene? that that shall be: and what is it that hath bene done? that which shall be done : and there is no newe thing under the funne.

10. Is there any thing, whereof one may say, Behold this, it is new: it hath bene already in the olde time that was before vs.

11. There is no memorie of the former, neither shall there be a remembraunce of the later that that albe, with them that that come after.

12. C h. J the Preacher haue bene King ouer Israel in Jeruſalem.

13. And I haue given mine heart to searche and finde out wifedome by all things that are done under the heauen : ( this ſoſe tranitioijie hath God given to the ſonnes of men, to humble them thereby)

14. I haue considered all the works that are done under the funne, and behold, all is vanitie, and veration of the ſpirit.

15. That which is k crooked, can none make straight: and that which faileth, can not be nombred.

16. I thought in mine heart, and said, Behold, I am become great, and excel in wifedome all them that haue bene before me in Jeruſalem; and mine heart hath keene much wifedome and knowledge.

17. And I gaue mine heart to know wisdom and knowledge, l madnes & foolishnes: I knew also that this is a veration of ſpirit.

18. For in the multitude of wifedome is much griefe; and he that increaleth knowledge, increaleth ſoſowe.

Pleahres, ſumptuous buildings, riches & poffeffions are but battle ſie. 14. The wife and the foole haue both one end, touching the bothe beaſt.

### CHAP. II.

1. I said in mine heart, Go to nowe, I will pique a thee with toy: therefore take thou pleasure in pleafant things: and beholde, this also is vanitie.

2. I ſayd of laugher, Thou art mad: and of toy, what is this that thou doest?

3. I ſought in mine heart: to give my ſelfe to wine, and to lead mine heart in wifedom, and to take holde of follie, till I may get fee where is that goodnes of the children of men, which they r enjoye under the funne, the whole number of the dayes of their life.

4. I haue made my great works: I haue built me houſes: I haue planted me vineyards.

5. I haue made me gardens and o chardeſes, and planted in them trees of all fruite.

6. I haue made me cisternes of water, to water therewith ſoods & grow with trees.

7. I haue gotten ſeruants & maides, and had childer borne in the houſe: also I had great poffeffion of beeues & thepe aboue all that were before me in Jeruſalem.

8. I haue gathered into mee also filuer and gold, and the chieſe treaſures of kings and provinces: I haue poffuſed mee men ſingers and women ſingers, and the d Delites of the ſonnes of men, as a woman e taken captive, and women taken captives.

9. I haue was great, and increaled aboue all that were before me in Jeruſalem: also my wifedome reinaimed with me.

10. And what ſoever mpne epeſes deſed, I withhelde it not from them: I withdew: we not mine heart from any toy: for mine heart reioyced in all my labour: and this was my ſ portion of all my tranatioijie.

11. Then I looked on all my works that mine handes had wouſt, and on the trauayle that I had laboured to do: and behold, all is vanitie and veration of the ſpirit: and there is no poffiſe under the funne.

12. And I turned to behold h wifedom, and madnes and folie: (for who is the man that * will come after the King in things, which men now haue done?)

13. Then I ſaw that there is poffiſe in wife dome, more then in follie : as the lygth is more excellent then darkenes.

14. * For the wife man eyes are in his head, but the foole walketh in darkenes : yet I know also that the fame k condition falleth to them all.

15. Then I thought in mine heart, It beſaith unto me, as it beſaitheth to the foole: noth therefore do I then labour to be more wife? And I ſayde in mine heart, that this also is vanitie.

16. For there shall be no remembraunce of the wife, no: of the foole: for ever: for that that now is, in the dayes to come shall all be forgotten. And m how dyeth the wife man, as doeth the foole?

17. Therefore I hated life: for the workes is wouſht

9. I haue was great, and increaled aboue all that were before me in Jeruſalem: also my wifedome reinaimed with me.
10. And what ſoever mpne epeſes deſed, I withhelde it not from them: I withdew: we not mine heart from any toy: for mine heart reioyced in all my labour: and this was my ſ portion of all my tranitioijie.

11. I ſayd of laugher, Thou art mad: and of toy, what is this that thou doest?

12. I ſought in mine heart: to give my ſelfe to wine, and to lead mine heart in wifedom, and to take holde of follie, till I may get fee where is that goodnes of the children of men, which they r enjoye under the funne, the whole number of the dayes of their life.

6 The heart of the wyle is in the houle of mourning: but the heart of fooles is in the houle of mirth.

9 Surely oppression maketh a wyle man <sup>e</sup> mad: <sup>f</sup> the reward destroyeth the heart.

10 The <sup>c</sup> ende of a thing is better then the beginning thereof, and the pacient in spirit is better then the proude in spirit.

11 Be not thou of an haſtie spirit to be angry: for anger resteth in the bolome of fooles.

12 Say not thou, why is it that the former daies were better then these? for thou doesst not enquire <sup>g</sup> wisely of this thing.

Ecclesiastes.

Widome excellent strength.

6 For to every purpose there is a time and
judgement because the *f* miferie of man is
great, upon him.

f Man of him
selfe is miferas-
bie, and there-
foe ought to
doe nothing to
increafe the
faune, but to
wolke all
things by wil-
dome, and
conneil.

7 For he knoweth not that which shall be: for who can tell him when it shall be?

8 Man is not lo'de s ouer the spiritre to re-
teyne the spiritre: neither hath he power in
the daye of death, nor deliueraunce in the
battell, neyther shall wick'dnes deliuer the
posseffers thereof.

8 Man hath no power to
sae his owne life, and ther-
foe auill not
talkie all ym
selfe into
banger.

9 All this haue I seene, and haue given mine
heart to euery work, which is wrought un-
der the funne, and I saw a time that man ru-
leth ouer man to his owne h hurt.

h As cometh
of times to
trante, and
wicked rater.
: That is, pa-
chets as wic-
ked as they.
k Thep that
feareth God,
and wunthip-
yed him ac-
cording as he
had appointed
1 Where inuice
is delaved,
there fine
resigneth.

10 And likewife I sawe the wicked burped,
and i they returned, and they that came
from the holie k place, were yet forgotten in
the citie where they had done right: this al-
so is banitie.

11 Because sentence against an euil worke is
not i executed speedily, therefor the heart
of the children of men is fully set in them to
doe euill.

10

12 Though a linner do euil an hудeth times,
and God prolongeth his dayes, yet I know
that it shall be well with them that feare the
Lord, and do reverence before him.

13 But it shall not be well to the wicked,
neither shall he prolong his dayes: he shall
like a shadowe, because he feareth not be-
foze God.

m Which are
pumished as
though they
were wicked,
as Chap. 7, 17.

14 There is a banitie, which is done upon the
earth, that there be righteous mè to whom
it commeth according to the m worke of the
wicked: and there be wicked men to whom
it commeth according to the worke of the
iust: I thought also that this is banitie.

15 And I praued ioy: for there is no goodness
to man under the funne: faue to eat and to
dinke and to reioyce: for this is adiourned
to his labour, the dayes of his life that God
hath given him under the funne.

n Head Chap.
3:22.

16 When I applied mine heart to knowe
wisedome, and to beholde the busines that
is done on earth, that neither day no night
the eyes of man take sleepe,

17 Then I behelde the whole worke of God,
that man can not finde out the worke that
is wrought under the funne: for the which
man laboureth to seeke it, and cannot finde
it: yea, and though the wife man thinke to
knowe it, he cannot finde it.

a Meaning,
what things
he ought to
challuf in re-
fuue: o1 mai-
n knoweth not
by their out-
ward things,
tharis, by
propperitie of
aduersion,
whom God
borth fauour
o hate: fo: he
fender them
as well to the
wirked as to
the godly.

1 I haue surely given mine heart to all this,
and to declare all this, that the iust, and
the wife, and their works are in the hand
of God; and no man knoweth either loue or
a hatred of all that is before them.

2 All things come alike to all: and the same
condition is to the iust and to the wicked, to
the good & to the pure, and to the polluted,
and to him that sacrificeth, and to him that
sacrificeth not: as is the good, to is h linner,
he that sweareth, as he that feareth an oth.

2 All things come alike to all: and the same

the good & to the pure, and to the polluted,
and to him that sacrificeth, and to him that
sacrificeth not: as is the good, to is h linner,
he that sweareth, as he that feareth an oth.

3 This is euill among all that is done under
the funne, that there is one b condition to
all, and also the heart of the fonnes of men
is full of euill, and madnes is in their hearts
whiles they liue, and after that, they go to
the dead.

4 Surely whosoever is isned to all the li-
ing, there is hope: for it is better to a li-
ing dog, then to a dead Lyon.

5 For the living knowe that they shall dye,
but the dead know nothing at all: neyther
haue they any more a rewarde: for their re-
membance is forgotten.

6 Also their loue, and their hatred, and their
euie is nowe perished, and they haue no
more poition for euene, in all that is done un-
der the funne.

7 Go, eat thy head with ioy, and drinke thy
wine with a cheerefull heart: for God now d
accepteth thy workes.

8 At all times let thy garments be c white, &
let not oyle be lacking upon thine head.

9 *¹ Reioyce with the wife whom thou haſt loued all the dayes of the life of thy banitie,
which God hath giue thee under the funne
all the dayes of the banitie : for this is thy
position in the life, and in the trauaille when
in thou labourest under the funne.

10 All that thine handle shall finde to doe, doe
it with all thy power : for there is neyther
worke no invention, no knowledge, no
wisedome in the graue whether thou goest.

11 I returned, a I sawe under the funne that
the race is not to the swift, nor the battell to
the strong, nor yet head to the wife, nor also
riches to men of understanding, neither yet
favour to men of knowledge: but time and
chance commeth to them all.

12 For neither doth man know his s time, but
as the filles, which are take in an euillnet,
a as the birds that are caught in the snare:
so are the children of men snared in the euill
time when it falleth upon them sodenly.

13 I haue alwaie feene this wisedome under the
funne, and it is great vnto me.

14 A little citie and few men in it, and a great
king came agaynst it, and compafled it a-
about, and builted foiztes against it.

15 And there was founde therein a poore
and wife man, and he deliuered the citie
by his wisedome: but none remembred this
poore man.

16 Then layde I, Better is wisedome then
strength : yet the wisedome of the poore is
despised, and his worlds are not heard.

17 The wordes of the wife are more heard in
quietnes, then the crpe of him that ruleth
among fooles.

### THE ARGVMENT,

God, according to his promes Deut. 18:15, that he would neuer leaue his Church deſtitute of a Prophet, hath from time to time accompliſhed the fame : whole office was not only to declare vnto the people the things to come, whereof they had a ſpeciall revelatiuon, but alſo to interprete and declare the Lawe, and to apply particularly the doctrine, contained briefly therein, to the vilitie and profite of thofe, to whom they think it chieſtely to appertaine, and as the time and ſtate of things required. And principally in the declaration of the Lawe they had reſped to three things, which were the ground of their doctrine : firſt to the doctrine contained briefly in the two tables : ſecondly to the promifes and thraemctings of the Lawe : and thirdly, to the couenant of grace and reconciliation, grounded upon our Saviour Iesu Christ, who is the end of the Lawe. Whereunto they neither added nor diminueth, but faithfully expounded the ſenſe and meaning thereof. And according as God gaue them vnderſanding of things, they applied the promifes particularly for the comfort of the Church and the members thereof, and alſo denounced the menaces against the enemies of the fame : nor for any care or regarde to the enemies, but to auſure the Church of their ſafegard by the deſtruſion of their enemies. And as touching the doctrine of reconciliation, they haue more clerely intreated it then Mofes, and ſet forth more liuely Iesu Christ, in whom this co-uenant of reconciliation was made. In all theſe things Iſaiah did excel all the Prophets, and was moſt diligent to ſet out the fame, with moſt veheſment admonitions, repreſenſions, and conſolations : euer applying the doctrine, as he ſawe that the diſeafe of the people reſquired. He declareth alſo many notable propheſies which he had received of God, as touching the promes of the Mefiah his office, and his kingdome. Alſo of the fauour of God toward his Church, the vocation of the Gentiles, and their vnion with the Iewes. Which are as moſt principal points contained in this booke, and a gathering of his ſermons that he preached. Which after certaine days that they had ſtand vpon the Temple doore (for the maner of the Prophets was to let vp the ſumme of their doctrine for certaine days that the people might better marke it, as Iſa. 8. 1. & Habak 2. 2.) The Priſts tooke it downe and reſerred it among their regiſters : and ſo by Gods prouidence theſe bookeſ were preferred as a monument to the Church for euer. As touching his perſon and time, he was of the Kings ſtocke (for Amoz his father was brother to Azariah King of Judah, as the beſt writers agree) and propheſied more then 64. yceers from the time of Vzziah vnto the reigne of Manafleth, whoſe father in lawe he was (as the Ebreues write) and of whom hee was putto death. And in reading of the Prophets this one thing among other is to be obſerued, that they ſpeake of things to come as though they were now pail, because of the certaintie thereof, and that they could not but come to paffe, because God had ordeined them in his ſecreτ counsel, and ſo reueued them to his propheſts.

3 The people that walked in darkenes, haue ſene a great light: they that dwelled in the lande of the ſhadowe of death, vpon them hath the light shined.

30 Thou haſt multiplied the nation, and not increased their joy: they haue reioyced be- fore thee according to the joy in harueſt, and as men reioyce when they deuide a p[rophets]e.

4 Fo: h the yoke of their burthen, and the ſtaffe of their shoulder and the rod of their oppreſſour haſt thou broken as in the day of Midian.

5 Surely every battel of the warriour is with nope, e with tumbling of garments in blood: but this falbe: with burning and devouring of fire.

6 Fo: vnto his a Childe is borne, and vnto vs a ſonne is giuen: and the gouvernement is vpon his shoulder, and he shall call his name wonderful, Counſeller, The mightie God, The euertaking k Father, The p[rophets]e of peace.

7 The increase of his government & peace shall have none end: he shall fit vpon the thone of Dauid, and vpon his kingdome, to order it, e to ſtabilſh it with iudgement and with iuſtice, from henceforth, euen for euere: the ſeale of the Lord of holltes will performe this.

8 The Lord hath ſent a word into Jaakob, and it hatby lighted vpon m Israel.

9 And all the people shall knowe, eu en e[p]haim, and the inhabitant of Samaria, that ſay in the pride and preſumption of the heart,

10 The h[icks]es are fallen, but we wil builde it with hewen ſtones: the wilde figge trees are cut downe, but we wil change them in to ceders.

11 Nevertheles the Lord will raiſe vp the ad- vertiſaries of o Reſon against him, and toye his enemies together.

12 Aram before and the Philiftims behinde, and they shall deuoure Israel with open mouth: yet for all this his wraath is not tur- ned away, but his hand is ſretched out ſtil.

13 Fo: the people turneth not vnto him that ſmiteth them, neither do they ſeeke p[rophets]e of holltes.

14 Therefore will the Lord cut out of Je- rael head and taile, h[anche] and r[ush] in one day.

15 The ancient and the honorable man, he is the head: and the Prophet that teacheth lies, he is the taile.

16 Fo: the leaders of the people cause them to erre: and they that are led by them, are de- uoured.

17 Therefore ſhall the Lord have no pleasure in their young men, neither will he haue com- paction of their fatherleſſe and of their wi- dowes: for euery one is an hypocrite and wicked, and euery mouth ſpeaketh ſolier yet for all this his wraath is not turned away, but his hand is ſretched out ſtil.

18 Fo: wickednes burneth as a fire: it de- uoureth the h[iers] and the thornes and wil kindle in the thicke places of the forest: and they shall mount vp like the lifting vp of smoke.

19 By the wraath of the Lord of holltes shall the lande be darkened, and the people shall be as p[rophets]e of the fire: no man that spare his brother.

h Then gangeth the p[rophets]e to deliuering them and by betrothring the p[ro]ante that has kept them in cruelties, bage, as thou diuide thyselfe, then by God for the p[rophets]e, Jud. 7, 22.

b The of Cilicia that came this year, and was called by the name of Cilaham.

c Tyrus is described by Simeon, who says, he came this year, and was then all the ples and ceas, and brought him thither.

d In a meaning of this, the definition, which is given in the following of Tyros, is to be understood.

e The name, which was the chief part of the sea, is here no people left in the sea, and amas a barren woman, that this may be called, k Because these two cities were taken in league together.

17 Belchode, the Loode will carie thee awaye with a great captuitie, and will surely coser thee.

18 He will surely rolle & turne thee like a ball in a large countrey: there shall thou die, and there the charret of thy glorie shall be the frame of thy lords house.

19 And I will wildine thee from thy station, and out of thy dwelling will he destroy thee.

20 And in that dave will I call my servant Eliakim the sonne of Halkiath,

21 And with thy garmets wil I clothe him, and with thy girdle wil I strengthen him: thy power also wil I commit into his had, and he shall be a father of the inhabitants of Jerualem, and of the house of Judah.

22 And the key of the house of David will I laye upon his shoulder: to he shall open and no man shall shut: and he shall shut, and no man shall open.

23 And I will fasten him as a nail in a lure place, and he shall be for the throne of glorie to his fathers house.

24 And they that hang upon him all the glory of his fathers house, even of the nephewes and posteritie all small beffels, from the beffels of the cuppes, even to all the instruments of muſke.

25 In that day, faith the Lord of hostes, shall be the naple, that is fastned in the ſuſe place, depart and halve broken, and fall: and the burden, that was upon it, shall be cut of: for the Lord hath spoken it.

2 He still, ye that dwell in the ples: the marchants of Zidon, and such as palle ouer the sea, have repleined thy eade.

3 The ſeede of Milus growing by the abundance of waters, and the harvest of the ruit was her reuenues, and she was a marte of the nations.

4 Be allamed, thou Zidon: for the h sea hath spoken, euen the strength of the sea, laying, I haue not trauayled, nor brought kooſt children, neither nouriſhed yong men, nor brought vp virgines.

5 When the fame commeth to the Egyptians, they shall be k ſoie, concerning the rumour of Tyros.

6 Go you ouer to Tarhish: howle, ye that dwell in the ples.

7 Is not this that your glorious city her anciuitie is of ancient daves: her owne feete that he lead her a farre of to be a ſiouner.

8 Who hath decreed this againſt Tyros (that m crown weth men) whole marchants are minces; whose chapmen are the nobles of the world?

9 The Loode of hostes hath decreed this, to

stayne the pypde of all glorie, and to bring to contempt all them that be glurious in the earth.

10 Palle through thy lande like a flood to the daughter of Tarhish: there is no more strength.

11 He stretched out his hande upon the sea: he scooke the kingdoines: the Loode hath giuen a commandement concerning the place of marchandise, to destroy the power thereof.

12 And he pade, Thou shall no more reioyce whoſ thou art oppreſſed: O virgini daugh ter of Zidon: rile vp, goe ouer vnto Chittim: yet there thou shall haue no reſt.

13 Behold the land of the Caldeans: this was no people: 9 Allhur founded it by the inha bitantes of the wildernesse: they set vp the towres therof: they raped the palaces ther of and he brought it to ruine.

14 Howle ye Shippes of Tarhish, for your strength is deſtroyed.

15 And in that day shall Tyros be ſeugotten ſeuentie perees, ( according to the perees of one King) at the end of ſeuentie perees for Tyros sing as an harlot.

16 Take an harpe, & go about the citie: (thou harlot that haſt beene ſeugotten) x make sweete melodie, sing mo longs that thou mayſt be remembred.

17 And at the end of ſeuentie perees shall the Lord diſtire Tyros, and he shall return to her wages, and shall commit kornicati on with all the kingdoines of the earth, that are in the world.

18 Yet her occupying and her wages shall be holie vnto the Loode: it shall not be layed vp no2 kept in ſoie, but her marchandise shall be for them that dwell before the Lord, to eate ſufficiently, and to haue durable clothing.

Loode, yet the ſhall returne to her olde wicked paignes, and for gaine the pailgrie her ſelte in all mens inſults like an harlot. 2 He theweth that God per by the preaching of the Gospell will call Tyros to repentance, and turne her heart from anarice and filthe game vnto the true wort shipping of God and liberalitie toward his Saints.

a Prophecie of the curie of God for the ſinnes of the people. 13 A rentant reuerend, that he played the Loode.

B eholde, the Loode maketh the earth Bemptie, and he maketh it wale: he turneth it upde downe, andattereth abroad the inhabitants thereof.

And there shall be like people, like b Pielſt, and like ſeruant, like maſter, like maid, like mistresse, like byer, like ſeller, like lender, like bozor, like guier, like taker to vſurie.

The earth shall eanele emptied, and better ſpoped: for the Lord hath spoken this worlde.

4 The earth lamenteth and fadeth away: the worlde is ſeeled and decaped: the pionde people of the earth are weakned.

5 The earth also decepeth, because of the inhabitants therof: for they transſgreſſed the lawes: they changed the ordinances, and make the everlauſing couenant.

n ſeth as horrible conſion, where there ſhall the neither religion, nor the ſolice, nor the lea 4,5. That is, reueth not her ſenſe for the ſinne of the people, whom the earth decended of her nourriture, becauſe then decended God of his honou.

4. Trust in the Lord ſoſer : ſoſ in the Lord God is ſtrenght for euermoe.

5. For he will bring downe them that dwell on hye: ´c the hie citie he will abaſſe; euen into the grounde will he cast it downe, and bring it into duſt.

6. The ſoſte shall treade it downe, euen the feete of the ´pooe, and the steppes of the needle.

7. The wave of the iuſt is ſygheouſtliſſe: he will make equal the righteouſ path of the iuſt.

8. Also we, D Lorde, haue waypt ſo: thee in the way of thy ſ judgements: the deſire of our ſoule is to thy naſme, and to the remem- brance of thee.

9. With my ſoule haue I deſired thee in the night, and with my ſpirite within me will I feeke thee in the morning: for ſeeing thy iudgements are in the earth, the inhaſtantes of the worſde shall learne h righteouſneſſe.

10. Let mercyp be heued to the wicked , yet he will not learne righteouſneſſe in the land of ſightnes wil he do wickedly, and will not beholde the maſſtie of the Lord.

11. D Lorde, they will not beholde tyne h ye hand: but they ſhal fee it, and be confounded with k the zeale of the people, and the fire of thine k enemies shall deuoure them.

12. Lorde, into bs thou will oſt dyne peace: for thou alſo haſt wionght all our workes for bs.

13. D Lorde our God, other m lordeſe theſee haue ruled bs, but we will remember theſee onely, and thy Name.

14. The ´ dead shall not liue, neither shall the deade arple, becauſe thou haſt bilſed and scattered them, and deſtroyed all their mea- moſſie.

15. Thou haſt encreaſed the nation, D L ord: thou haſt encreaſed the nation : thou art made gloaſous : thou haſt enlarged all the coaſtes of the earth.

16. L ord, in trouble haue thep v bilſted thee: they powſed out a prayer when thy chasteſing was upon them.

17. Like as a woman with childe, that diaweth neere to the trauayle, is in ſoſowe, and cryeth in her paſnes, so haue we bene in thy q light, D L ord.

18. We haue conceuſed, weech haue boine in payne, as though we shouldle haue brought ſoorth vwinde : there was no helpe in the earth, nepther did the inhaſtantes of the worſde fail.

19. C Thy dead men ſhal liue: euen with my bodie shall they eſple. A wake, and ſing, ye that dwell in duſt: for thy ´dewe is as the dewe of herbes, and the earth shall cast out the dead.

20. Come, my people: x ter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doozes after thee: hide thy ſelſe for a very little while, until the indignation palle ouer.

21. For lo, the Lord commeth out of his place, to bilſe the iniquitte of the inhaſtantes of the earth vpon them : and the earth ſhall diſeſe her y blood, and ſhall no moſe hyde her ſlayne.

The earth shall bonne and cast out the nuuocens blood, wjich it baih junkne, that it may crie for vengeance against the wicke.

a prophſeſſe against the kingdome of Saran, 2 And of the tope of the Church for their deuination.

1. In that ´ dape the Lord with his ſoſe and great and mightie ´d word shall bilſe Li- uathan, that peareing ſerpent, euen Li- uathan, that crooked ſerpent, and he shall ſlay the dragon that is in the sea.

2. In that dape ſing of the vineyard ´of red wine.

3. I the Lorde do keepe it: I will water it e- uery moment: left any allaple it, I will keep it night and day.

4. Anger ´d is not in mee: who would let the biers and the thornes against me in gatde? I would go through them, I would burne them together.

5. D will he ´ feele my strength, that he may make peace with me, & be at one with me? ´He carſter Jaakob shall take root: Ixra- el shall houſt and grow, and the world shall be filled with fruite.

6. Dath he ſnitten ´s hint as he smote thate that moſte him? or is he ſlayne according to the slaughte of them that were ſlayne by him?

7. In h measure in the branches thereof will thou contende with it, when hee bloſt with his rough winde in the dave of the East winde.

8. By this therfore shall the iniquitte of Ja- akob be purged, and this is al the ´ fruite, the taking away of his ſume : when he shall make all the ſtones of the altars, as chalſe ſtones, hokſe in pieces, that the groues and images may not stand bp.

9. Bet the ´ deſenſed citie thalbe desolate, and the habitation (halbe forſaken, and left like a wildernesse. There shall the calſe feede, and there ſhal he lie, and conſume the bran- ches thereof.

10. When the boughes of it are diye, they shall be broken: the ´ women come, and let them on fire: for it is a people of none understan- ding: therefore he that made them, ſhal not haue compaſſion of them, and hee that ſo- med them, ſhal haue no mercry on them.

11. And in that day shall the Lord thyſe from the chanell of the m Riuer into the riuer of Egypſt, and ye halbe gathered, one bp one, D children of Israel.

12. And in that day shall the Lord thyſe from the chanell of the m Riuer into the riuer of Egypſt, and ye halbe gathered, one bp one, D children of Israel.

13. In that day alſo shall the great trumpe be ´blown, and they ſhall come, which pert- hed in the lande of Aſſhur : and they that were chafed into the lande of Egypſt, and they shall worſhippe the Lorde in the holie Mount at Jeruſalem.

A At the time approaſt.

B That is, bp his mightie power and bp his wuode, he prophiſtly here of the deſt raction of Saran and his kingdome under the name of Jins athan, Aſſhur and Egypſt.

C Meaning of the bet wine, wjich this vineward, that is to the Church, should being forth as moſt agreeable to the Lorde.

against thee on a mount, and will cast it
ramparts against thee.

d The preacheth shall be no more for to be, but abated, and as the church charges, which are few places, and that which their boyce can take be made.

6 The church is hied in fowlers, in whom thou art trumphant, that be behooves, and that which is in church in a whole londe.

4 So shall thou be humbled, & shall speake out of the grounde, and thy peache the halve as out of the dust: thy boyce also shall be out of the grounde like him that hath a spirit of divination, and thy talking shall whisper out of the dust.

5 Moreover, the multitude of thy straungers shall be like small dust, and the multitude of strong men shall be as chaffe that paffeth away, and it shall be in a moment, even suddenly.

6 Thou shall be vilited of the Lord of hollies with thunder, and shaking, & a great noise, a whirle winde, and a tempest, and a flame of a denouering fire.

7 And the multitude of all the nations that fight against the altar, shall be as a dreame or vision by night: even all they that make the warre against it, and strong holdes a gainst it, and layliege vnto it.

7 And if it be like as an hungry man diea-
meth, and beholde, so he eateth: and when
he awaketh, his soule is emptied: so like as
a thirteenth man dreameth, and he is drin-
king, and when he awaketh, beholde, he is
kaint, and his soule longereth: so shall the mul-
titude of all nations be that fight against
mount Zion.

8 And if it be like as an hungry man diea-
meth, and beholde, so he eateth: and when
he awaketh, his soule is emptied: so like as
a thirteenth man dreameth, and he is drin-
king, and when he awaketh, beholde, he is
kaint, and his soule longereth: so shall the mul-
titude of all nations be that fight against
mount Zion.

9 And if it be like as an hungry man diea-

9 Stay your fellees, and wonder: they are blinde, and make you blinde: they are drunken, but not with wine: they kagger, but not by strong drinke.

10 For the Lord hath couered you with a spi-
tite of slumber, and hath shut up your eyes:
the Prophets, and your chiefe Seers hath
he couered.

11 And the vision of them all is become into
you, as the words of a booke that is sealed
up, which they deliver to one that can read,
laying Reade this, I pray thee. Then shall
he say, I can not: for it is sealed.

12 And this booke is given unto him that can
not reade, laying, Reade this, I pray thee.
And he shall say, I can not reade.

13 Therefore the Loode sayde, Because this
people k come neere vnto mee with their
mouth, and honour mee with their lippes,
but have remooyed their heart farre from
mee, & their l fame toward me was taught
by the precept of men,

14 Therefore beholde, I will agayne doe a maruitious wooke in this people, even a maruitious worke, and a wonder: for the wisedome of their wife men shall m perill, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hid.

15 Wee unto them that n seeke deepe to hyde
their counsel fr the Lord: for their works
are in darkenesse, and thy laye, who leeth
us, and who knoweth vs?

16 Pour turning of deuises shall it not be eſse-
med as the potters clap: for shall the worke
lap of him that made it, He made me not: for
the thing konne, laye of him that facioned

it. He had none understanding?

17 Is it not yet but a little whyle, and Leba-
non halve p turned into Carmel? and Car-
mel shall be counted as a foefest?

18 And in that daye shall the deake heare the
words of the booke, and the eyes of the
blinde shall see out of obscuritie, and out of
darkenesse.

19 The meeke in the Loode shall receive toye
againe, and the pooze men shall reioyce in
the holy one of Israel.

20 For the cruel man shall cease, & the konne-
full halve consumed: and all that hasted to
iniquitie, halve cut of:

21 Which made a man to sinne in the word,
and tooke him in a snare: which reponoed
them in the gate, and made the iust to fall
without cause.

22 Therefore thus sayeth the Loode vnto the
house of Jaakob, even he that redeemed Al-
braham, Jaakob shall not now be confoun-
ded, neither now shall his face be pale.

23 But when he steeth his children, the woike
of mine handes, in the middes of him, they
shall sanctifie my Name, and sanctifie the
holie one of Jaakob, and shall feare the God
of Israel.

24 Then they that erred in spirit, shall haue
understanding, and they that murmured,
shall learne doctrine.

ring, but not by my spirit, that they may lap
sinne upon sinne:

2 Which walke forth to go down into Egypt
(and haue not aſked at my mouth) to streg-
then them felues with the strength of Pha-
raoh, and trust in the ſhadow of Egypt.

3 But the strength of Pharaoh shall be your
shame, as the trust in the shadowe of Egypt
your conſulement.

4 For his c princes were at Zoan, and his
Ambassadours came vnto Hanes.

5 They shall be all aſhamed of the people
that can not profite them, no helpeth nor doe
them good, but shall be a shame and also a
reproche.

6 (The burden of the beaſts of the South,
in a lande of trouble and anguillie, from
whence shall come the yong and olde upon,
the viper a ſierie flying serpent against them
that shall beare their riches vpon the shoul-
ders of the coltes, and their treasures vpon
the bounches of the camels, to a people that
cannot profite.)

7 For the Egytians are banitie, and they
shal helpe in baine. Therefore haue I cryed
unto her, Their strength is to fit skil.

8 Nowe go, & write it before them in a ta-

also unto him a cunning workkeman, to prepare an image, that shall not be moued.

21 Know ye nothing ? haue ye not heard ? it? hath it not bene tode you from the beginning ? haue ye not understand it by the ' foundation of the earth?

22 He litteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grahopers, he stretcheth out the heauens, as a curtayne, and spreadeth them out, as a tent to dwell in.

23 He bringeth the princes to nothing, and maketh the judges of the earth, as banitie,

24 As though they were not planted, as though they were not lowen, as though their stocke tooke no roote in the earth: so he did euen blowe upon them, and they withered, and the whirlewinde will take them away as stubble.

25 To whome now wil ye liken me, that I should be like him, faith the Holy one?

26 Lift up your eyes one hie, and behold, who hath created these things, & bringeth b out their armies by nomber, and calleth them all by names : by the greatnes of his power and mightie strength nothing faileth.

27 Why layest thou, D Jaakob, and peaseket D Israel, & My way is hid from the Lorde, and my judgement is passed ouer of my God?

28 Knowest thou not? or hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the Lord hath created the ends of the earth? he neither fainteth, nor is weary: there is no searching of his understanding.

29 But he giuenth strength unto him that fainteth, and unto him that hath no strength, he encreaetheth power.

30 Even the yong men shall faint, and bee wearie, & the yong men shall kumble & fall.

31 But they that waite upon the Lord, shall tenue their strength : they shall lift vp the wings as the egles: they shall runne, and not be wearie, and they shall walke and not faint.

16 Thou halt fanne them, and the winde thal carie them away, and the whirlewinde thall scatter them: and thou halt reioyce in the Lord, and halt glorp in the holy one of Israel.

17 When o the poome and the needie seeke wafer, and there is none ( their tongue faileth) so thrist: J the Lord wil heare them: J the God of Israel wil not fo:ake them.

18 I wil open riuers in the toppes of the hilles, and fountaines in the middes of the valleys: I will make the wildernes as a poole of water, & the waste f land as springs of water.

19 I wil let in the wildernes the cedar, the f jittah tree, and the mitre tree, and the pine tree, and I wil let in the wildernes the firre tree, the elme and the bore tree together.

20 Therefore let them see and know, and let them confider & understand together that the hand of the Lord hath done this, and þ holy one of Israel þ hath created it.

1 The huckish perth through their owne iniquities. 2 The confession of sinnes, & God alone will judge his Church, though at times faile.

Nob. 11: 23.
chap. 30:2.

NOTE

2 But your iniquities have separated betweene you and your God, and your sinnes have hid his face from you, that he will not heare.

3 For your hands are defiled with blood, ¢ your fingers with iniquitie: your lips have spoken lies and your tongue hath murmur- ed iniquitie.

4 No man calleth for justice: no man b contemneth for trueth: they trust in banitie, and lpeake bayne things: they conceive mis- chiefe, and d bring forth iniquitie.

5 They hatch cockatrice d egges, and weave the spiders e webbe: he that eateth of their eggs, dieth, and that which is trode upon, breaketh out into a serpent.

6 Their webbes shall be no garment, neither shall they couer themfels, with their la- boz: for their works are works of iniquitie, and the workes of crueltie is in their hands.

7 Their feete runne to cuill, and they make haſe to ſhed innocet blood: their thoughts are wicked thoughtes: desolation and de- struction is in their paths.

8 The way of peace they knowe not, ¤ there is none equitie in their goings: they haue made them crooked paths: whosoever go- eth therein, shall not know peace.

9 Therefore is f judgement farre from hs, neither doeth s justice come neere vnto hs: we waite for light, ¤ benes: for brightnes, but walnes.

10 We grope for th- at the none day in insolitarie places

11 We roare all like- where is none: for health, ¤ more wyne leſe.

12 For our trespal- to thee,

and our k sinnes teſtifie against vs: for our trespasses are with vs, and we knowe our iniquities

13 In trespassing a lying against the Loode, and we haue departed away from God, and haue spoken of crueltie and rebellion, conceuting and uttering out of the heart false matters.

14 Therefore m judgement is turned backe- ward, and iustice standeth farre of: for trueth is fallen in the streete, and equitie cannot enter.

15 Pea, trueth kayleth, and he that refraineth from euill, maketh himselfe a praye: and when the Loode sawe it, it displeased him, that there was no iudgement.

16 And when he saw that there was no man, he wondred that none woulde offer him- selfe. o Therefore his arme did f saile it, and his righteousnes it selfe did fustatine it.

17 For he put on righteousneſſe, as an haber- geon, and an s helmet of kalamation vpon his head, and he put on the garmentes of ven- gance for clothing, and was cladde with yeale as a cloke.

18 As to make recompence, as to requite the furie of the aduerſaries with a recompence to his enemies: he will fully repaye the plandes.

19 So shall they keare the name of the Loode from the West, and his gloze from the r- ling of the funne: for the enemie shall come like a flood: but the Spirit of the Lord shall chale him away.

20 And the Redeemer shall come into Zion, and into them that turne from iniquitie in Jaakob, faith the Lord.

21 And I will make this my couenant with them, faith the Loode, My Spirite that is vpon thee, ¤ my words, which I haue put in thy mouth, ¤ shall not depart out of thy mouth, noz out of the mouth of thy feed, noz out of the mouth of þ feede of thy feede, faith the Lord, from henceforth even for ever.

CHAP. LIX.

3 The Gentiles shall come to the knowledge of the Saviour. 4 They shall come to the Church in abundance. 5 They shall have abun- dance, though they flatter for a time.

A Rife, O Ierusalem: be hevight, for thy light is come, and the gloze of the Lord is risen vpon thee.

6 For he beheld, darknes shall couer the earth, and grosse darkenefſe the people: but the Loode shall arise vpon thee, and his gloze shall keene vpon thee.

7 And the Gentiles shall walke in thy light, ¤ Kings at the brightneſſe of thy rising vp. Lift vp thine eyes round about, ¤ behold; all d these are gathered, and come to thee: thy donnes shall come from farre, and thy Daughters shall nourished at thy lide.

8 Then thou halt fee and thine: thine heart shall be attoned ¤ and enlarged, because the multitude of the sea shall be converted vnto thee, and the wiches of the Gentiles shall come vnto thee.

k This confession is gent- ral to the Church to ob- taine reſt in on funnes, and the P规 phevo did not eruip the theme from the fame.

l To wit, as

g gainst our neighbours.

m There is neither iustice nor byrights ne among men.

n The wicked will berop him.

o Meaning, to do iustice,

p and to remedy the things that were so farre out of order.

q That is, his Church, or his armee, did he make it selfe, and did not take aide of any other.

r Signifying, that God hath all meanes at hand to deli- er his church and to punnish their enemies.

s To wit, pount enemies, which dwell in diuerſes places, and be- pount the sea.

t He thateth that there that be great aſter in the Church, but God will euery delivere his.

u Whereby he declareth that the true della- verance from funne and Da- tan beiong to none, but to the children of God, whom he inuiceth.

v Because the doctrine is made pious, table by the vertue of the Spirit, he towa- rds the one with the os- ter, and ajoys ineth to give them both to his Church for ever.

b Signifying, that all men are in darkes in til God gueve in the light of his Spirit, and that this light this- neth to none but to those that are on his Church.

c Meaning, that Æthera should be as the morning starre, and that the Gentiles should receite light of her.

h Because the altar was a figure of Chrift Heb. 13. 10: he theweth that nothing can be accaptable to him, which is not offered to him by this altar, who would both the offering and the altar it selfe.

t All that weare, and that weare in al, as the 1 Cor. 21,23,24,25,26.

The multitude of camels that cover thee: and the diomedaries of Midian and of E-phah: all they of Sheba that come: they shall bring golde and incense, and they shall forth the prayles of the Lord.

All the sheepe of Kedar shall be gathered unto thee: the rammes of Rebaoth that shall serve thee: they shall come vp to be accepted upon mine altar: and I will beautify the house of my glory.

Who are these that flee like a cloud, and as the doues to their windowes?

Surely the yles that wayte for me, and the hippes k of Tarshish, as at the beginning, that they may bring thy sonnes from farre, and their silver, and their golde with them, unto the Name of the Lord thy God, and to the holie one of Israel, because he hath glorified thee.

10 And the sonnes of strangers shall buied vp thy walles, and their kings shall minister unto thee: for in my wath I amote thee, but in my mercy I had compassion on thee.

11 Therefore thy gates shall be open continually: neither day no night shall they be shut that men may bring unto thee the riches of the Gentiles, and that their kings may be brought.

12 For the nation and the kingdome, that will not serve thee, shall perish: and those nations shall be utterly destroyed.

13 The glorie of Lebanon shall come vnto thee, the firre tree, the elme and the pine tree together, to beautify the place of my Sanctuary: for I will glorify the place of my feete.

14 The sonnes also of them that afflicted thee, shall come and bowe vnto thee: and all they that despised thee, shall fall vnto us at the holes of thy feete : and they shall call thee, The citie of the Lord, Zion of the holie one of Israel.

15 Where as thou hast bene forfaken and basted, so that no man went by thee, I wypil make thee an eternall glory, and a top from generation to generation.

16 Thou shall also sucke the milke of the Gentiles, and shall sucke the breaks of kings: and thou shall knowe, that I the Lord am thy Saviour, and thy Redemer, the mightie one of Jaakob.

17 For brasse will I bring golde, and for yon will I bring silver, and for wood brasse, and for stones yon. I wypil also make thy government peace, a thine exactours righteoues.

18 Violence shall no more be hearde of in the lande, neuer desolation, nor destruction within thy borders: but thou shall call for aluation, thy walles, and prayles, thy gates.

19 Thou shall haue no more funne to thine by daye, neپther shall the byightnesse of the moone thine vnto thee: for the Lo'de shall be thine everlasting light, and thy God, thy glorie.

20 Thy funne shall neuer go downe, neپther

shall thy moone be hid: for the Lo'de shall be thyne everlasting light, and the dayes of the sovaine shall be ended.

21 Thy people also shall be all righteous: they shall posseſſe the land: euering, the graſſe of my planting shall be the work of mine hādes, that I may be glorified.

22 A little one shall become as a thou sande, and a small one as a strong nation: I the Lord will haſſen it in due time.

1 The propheſteth that Chrift shall be anointed and lent to yeache. 10 The Iope of the faithful.

2 The Spirit of the Lord God is a vpon me, therefore hath the Lord anointed mee: he hath sent me to pizeache good tidings vnto the poore, to bind vp the hooken hearted, to pizeache libertie to the capaces, and to them that are bound, the opening of the prison,

3 To pizeache the a acceptable pere of y Lo'd, and the daye of vengeance of our God, to comfort all that mourne,

4 To appoint vnto them that mourne in Zion, & to giue vnto them beautie for ahes, the ople of tope for mourning, the garment of gladnes for the spirit of beaunneſſe, that they myght be called s trees of rygheounes, the planting of the Lo'd, that he might be glorified.

5 And they shall buied the old waſſe places, & raiſe vp the former defolations, and they shall repaire the cities that were delolate & waſſe through many generations.

6 And the strangers shall stand and feede your sheep, and the sonnes of the strangers shall be your plowemen and diſeſſers of your vines.

7 But ye shall be named k the Piestes of the Lo'de, and men shall fay vnto you, The inuſitters of our God: Be that eate the riches of the Gentiles, and shall be eated with their glorie.

8 For your name you shall receive m double, and for confusion n they shall reioyce in their portion: for in their lande they shall posſelle the p double: everlasting top shall be vnto them.

9 For I the Lo'de loue iudgement and hate a robbere for buent offring, and I will direct their worke in trueth, and will make an everlasting covenant with them.

10 And their ſeede shall be knowen among the Gentiles, and their buddes among the people. All that fee them, shall knowe them, that they are the ſeede which the Lord hath blessed.

11 I will greatly reioyce in the Lo'de, and my ſoule shall be ioyfull in my God: for he hath clothed me with the garments of faluation, and couered mee with the robe of rightheouſe: he hath decked mee like a bridegrome, and as a hride titheth his ſelle with her ieels.

12 For as the earth bringeth forth her budde,
