Dearly beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, how that one day is with the Lord, as a thousand year, and a thousand year as one day.
The Lord is not slack to fulfil his promise, as some men count slackness: but is patient to us ward, and would have no man lost, but would receive all men to repentance.
Behold in a wonder full WARNING FULL dream during the whoreable nightmare of the dark season ...of the times and time ..of the season of man ...see son of man ...
and i was taken and shown like a high green hill with a wonder full path that went ...a way ...along the top ...
and the wonder path went straight AWAY ...A WAY as far as the eye could see ...
and THE PATH ...WAS ABOVE ...all the vile evil wicked ugliness ...ug lieness ...of the UNGodLIE world ...of the worldly ...
and a WARNING CAME : STAY OUT OF THE THORNS AND HEDGES AND STINGING NETTLES AND STAY ON THE HIGH GROUND AND THE PATH.
and scripture came back to remembrance ...
Judge not, that ye be not judged. For as ye
judge so shall ye be judged. And with what measure ye *mete, with the same shall
it be measured to you again. Why seest thou a *mote in thy brothers eye, and
perceivest not the beam in thine own eye? Or why sayest thou to thy brother:
suffer me to pluck out the mote out of thine eye, and behold a beam is in thine
own eye. Hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye, and then shalt
thou see clearly to pluck out the mote out of thy brothers eye.
Give not that which is holy, to dogs,
neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they tread them under their feet,
and the other turn again and all to rent you.
Ask and it shall be given you. Seek and ye
shall find. Knock and it shall be opened unto you. For whosoever asketh
receiveth, and he that seeketh findeth and to him that knocketh it shall be
opened. Is there any man among you which if his son asked him bread, would offer
him a stone? Or if he asked fish, would he proffer him a serpent? If ye then
which are evil, can give to your children good gifts how much more shall your
father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?
Therefore whatsoever ye would that men
should do to you, even so do ye to them. This is the law and the Prophets.
Enter in at the strait gate: for wide is the
gate, and broad is the way that leadeth to destruction: and many there be which
go in thereat. But strait is the gate, and narrow is the way which leadeth
unto life: and few there be that find it. Beware of false Prophets, which
come to you in sheeps clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall
know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns? Or figs of briars?
Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit. But a corrupt tree, bringeth
forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth bad fruite: nor yet a bad tree
can bring forth good fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit, shall
be hewn down, and cast into the fire. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know
them.
Not all they that say unto me, Lord, Lord,
shall enter in to the kingdom of heaven: but he that doth my fathers will which
is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not in thy
name Prophesied? And in thy name have cast out devils? And in thy name have done
many miracles? And then will I knowledge unto them that I never knew them.
Depart from me, ye workers of iniquity.
Whosoever heareth of me these sayings and
doeth the same, I will liken him unto a wise man which built his house on a
rock: and abundance of rain descended, and the floods came and the winds blew
and beat upon that same house, and it fell not, because it was grounded on the
rock. And whosoever heareth of me these sayings and doth them not, shall be
likened unto a foolish man which built his house upon the land: and abundance of
rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat upon that
house, and it fell, and great was the fall of it.
And it came to pass, that when Jesus had
ended these sayings, the people were *astonied at his doctrine. For he taught
them as one having power, and not as the scribes
*mete: what ever is used to measure, *mote: a speck. *astonied: astounded, astonished.
Again, another man purposing to sail, and
beginning to take his journey through the raging sea, calleth for help unto a
stock that is far weaker, than the tree that beareth him. For as for it,
covetousness of money hath found it out, and the craftsman made it with his
conning. But thy providence, O' Father, governeth all things from the beginning:
for thou hast made a way in the sea, and a sure path in the midst of the
waves: declaring thereby, that thou hast power to help in all things, ye though
a man went to sea without a ship. Nevertheless, the works of thy wisdom should
not be vain, thou hast caused an ark to be made: and therefore do men commit
their lives to a small piece of wood, passing over the sea in a ship, and are
saved.
For in the old time also, when the proud
giants perished, he ( in whom the hope was left to increase the world ) went
into the ship, which was governed through thy hand, and so left seed behind him
unto the world. For happy is the tree where through righteousness cometh: but
cursed is the image of wood, that is made with hands, yee both it and he that
made it. He, because he made it: and it because it was called God, where as it
is but a frail thing. For the ungodly and his ungodliness are both like
abominable unto God. Even so the work and he that made it also shall be punished
together. Therefore shall there a plague come upon the images of the Heathen:
for out of the creature of God they are become an abomination, a temptation unto
the souls of men, and a snare for the feet of the unwise. And why the seeking
out of images is the beginning of whoredom, and the bringing up of them is the
destruction of life. For they were not from the beginning, neither shall they
continue forever. The wealthy idleness of men hath found them out upon the
earth, therefore shall they come shortly to an end.
For a father mourned for his son that was
taken away from him, he made an image ( in all the hast ) of his dead son: and
so began to worship him as God, which was but a dead man, and *ordained his
servants to offer unto him. Thus by process of time and through long custom,
this error was kept as a law, and tyrants compelled men by violence to honor
images. As for those that were so far off, that men might not worship them
presently, their picture was brought from far, like the image of a King whom
they would honor, to the intent that with great diligence they might worship him
which was far off, as though he had been present. Again, the singular conning of
the craftsman gave the ignorant also a great occasion to worship images. For the
workman willing to do him a pleasure that set him a work, labored with all his
conning to make the image of the best fashion. And so ( through the beauty of
the work ) the common people was deceived, in so much that they took him now for
a God, which alittle afore was honored as a man. And this was the error of mans
life, when men ( either for to serve their own affection, or to do some pleasure
unto Kings ) ascribed unto stones and stocks the name of God, which ought to be
given unto no man.
Moreover, this was not enough for them that
they erred in the knowledge of God: but where as they lived in the great wars of
ignorance, those many and great plagues called they peace. For either they
slew their own children, and offered them, or did sacrifice in the night
season, or else held unreasonable watches: so that they kept neither life ner
marriage clean: but either one slew another to death maliciously or else grieved
his neighbor with *advoutry. And thus were all things mixed together: blood
manslaughter, theft, dissimulation, corruption, unfaithfulness, sedition,
perjury, disquietness of good men, unthankfulness, defiling of souls, changing
of birth, unsteadfastness of marriage, misorder of *advoutry and uncleanness. And
why? the honoring of abominable images is the cause, the beginning and end of
all evil. For they worship Idols, either they are mad when they be merry, or
prophesy lies, or live ungodly, or else lightly foreswear themselves. For in so
much as their trust is in the Idols ( which have neither souls ner understanding
) though they swear falsely, yet they think it shall not hurt them.
Therefore cometh a great plague upon them,
and that worthily: for they have an evil opinion of God, giving heed unto Idols,
swearing unjustly to deceive, and despising righteousness. For their swearing is
no virtue, but a plague of them that sin, and goeth ever with the offense of the
ungodly
*ordened: ordained
(ordered).
*advoutry: prefix "a" meaning not or without, devout: devotion; plain
hearted to God, being devoted to something or some one else. see James 2 for
adultery
THE GOSPELL OF ST. MATTHEW Chpt 3
In those days John the Baptist came and preached in the wilderness of Jewry, saying: Repent, the kingdom of heaven is at hand. This is he of whom it is spoken by the Prophet Esai, which saith: The voice of a crier in wilderness, prepare the Lords way, and make his paths straight. This John had his garment of camels hair, and a girdle of a skin about his loins. His meat was locusts and wild honey. Then went out to him Jerusalem, and all Jewry, and all the region round about Jordan, and were baptised of him in Jordan, confessing their sins.
THE GOSPELL OF ST. LUKE Chpt 3
In the fifteenth year of the reign of
Tiberius the Emperor, Pontius Pilate being leftenant of *Jurie, and Herod being
Tetrach of Galilee, and his brother Philip Tetrach in Jturea and in the region
of Traconitis, and Lysaniah the Tetrach of Abilene, when Annas and Caiphas were
the high priests the word of God came unto John the son of Zacharias in the
wilderness. And he came into all the coasts about Jordan, preaching the baptism
of repentance for the remission of sins, as it is written in the book of the
sayings of Esaias the Prophet which sayeth: The voice of a crier in wilderness:
prepare the way of the Lord, make his paths straight. Every valley shall
be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be brought low. And crooked things
shall be made straight: and the rough ways shall be made smooth: and all flesh
shall see the saviour sent of God.
Then said he to the people that were come to
be baptised of him: O generation of vipers, who hath taught you to fly away from
the wrath to come? Bring forth due fruits of repentance, and begin not to say in
yourselves, we have Abraham to our father. For I say unto you: God is able of
these stones to raise up children unto Abraham. Now also is the axe laid unto
the root of the trees: so that every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit,
shall be hewn down, and cast into the fire.
And the people asked him saying: What shall
we do then? He answered and said unto them: He that hath two coats, let him part
with him that hath none: and he that hath meat, let him do likewise.
Then came there publicans to be baptised,
and said unto him: Master, what shall we do? And he said unto them: require no
more than that which is appointed unto you.
The soldiers likewise demanded of him
saying: and what shall we do? And he said to them: Do violence to no man:
neither trouble any man wrongfully: but be content with your wages.
As the people were in a doubt, and all men
disputed in their hearts of John, whether he were very Christ: John answered and
said to them all: I baptise you with water but a stronger than I cometh after
me, whose shoe latchet I am not worthy to unloose: he will baptise you with the
holy ghost, and with fire: which hath his fan in his hand, and will purge his
floor, and will gather the corn in to his barn: but the chaff will he burn with
fire that never shall be quenched. And many other things in his exhortation
preached he unto the people.
Then Herod the Tetrach (when he was rebuked
of him for Herodias his brother Philipes wife, and for all the evils which Herod
had done) added this above all, and laid John in prison.
And it fortuned as all the people received
baptism (and when Jesus was baptised and did pray) that heaven was opened and
the holy ghost came down in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice
came from heaven saying: Thou art my dear son, in thee do I delight.
And Jesus himself was about thirty years of
age when he began, being as men supposed the son of Joseph: which Joseph was the
son of Heli: which was the son of Matthat: which was the son of Levi: which was
the son of Melchi: which was the son of Janna: which was the son of Joseph:

of Joseph: which was the son of Jonam: which was the son of *Heliakim: which was

which was the son of Nathan: which was the son of David: which was the son of
Jesse: which was the son of Obed: which was the son of Boos: which was the son
of Salmon: which was the son of Naason: which was the son of Aminadab: which was

Mathusala: which was the son of Enoch: which was the son of Jareth: which was
the son of Malalehel: son of Cainan: which was the son of Enos: which was the

This understand, that in the last days shall come parlous times. For the men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, cursed speakers, disobedient to father and mother, unthankful, unholy, unkind, trucebreakers, stubborn, false accusers, rioters, fierce despisers of them which are good, traitors, heady, high minded, greedy upon voluptuousness more then lovers of God, having a similitude of Godly living, but have denied the power thereof: and such abhor. Of this sort are they which enter into houses, and bring into bondage women laden with sin, which women are led of *diverse lusts, ever learning and never able to come unto the knowledge of the truth.
despisers of them which are good, traitors, heady, high minded,
traitors,
heady, high minded,
The Lord hateth as well him that justifieth the ungodly, as him that condemeth the innocent.
THE GOSPELL OF ST. LUKE Chpt 17
When he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should
come he answered them and said: The kingdom of God cometh not with waiting for.
Neither shall men say: Lo here, lo there. For behold the kingdom of God is with
in you.
And he said unto the disciples: The days
will come, when ye shall desire to see one day of the son of man, and ye shall
not see it. And they shall say to you: See here, See there. Go not after them,
nor follow them, for as the lightning that appeareth out of the one part of the
heaven: and shineth unto the other part of heaven. So shall the son of man be in
his days. But first must he suffer many things, and be refused of this nation.
As it happened in the time of Noe: So
shall it be in the time of the son of man. They ate, they drank, they married
wives and were married, even unto the same day that Noe went into the Ark: and
the flood came and destroyed them all. Likewise also, as it chanced in the days
of Lot. They ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built. And
even the same day that Lot went out of *Zodom, it rained fire and brimstone
from heaven, and destroyed them all. After these examples, shall it be in the
day when the son of man shall appear.
At that day he that is on the house top and
his stuff in the house: let him not come down to take it out. And likewise let
not him that is in the fields, turn back again to that he left behind. Remember
Lots wife. Whosoever will go about to save his life, shall lose it: And
whosoever shall lose his life, shall save it. I tell you in that night, there
shall be two in one bed, that one shall be received and the other shall be
forsaken. Two shall be also a grinding together: the one shall be received, and
the other forsaken. And they answered, and said unto him: where Lord? And he
said unto them: wheresoever the body shall be, thither
will the eagles resort.

THE FOURTH BOOK OF ESDRAS Chpt 13
And it happened
after the seven days, that I dreamed a dream by night. And behold, there arose a
wind from the sea, that it moved all the floods thereof. And I looked, and
behold, the man was strong and increased with the clouds of heaven: And when he
turned his countenance to consider, all the things trembled that were seen under
him: and when the voice went out of his mouth, all they burnt that heard him,
like as the earth when it feeleth the fire.
After these I saw, and behold there was
gathered together a multitude of men out of number from the four winds of the
heaven, to fight against the man, that came out from the sea. And I looked,
and behold, he graved himself a great mountain, and flew up upon it. But I would
have seen the border or place, where out the hill was graven, and I could not.
I saw after these, that all they which came
to fight against him, were sore afraid, and yet *durst they fight. Nevertheless
when he saw the fierceness and violence of the people, he neither lift up his
hand nor held sword, nor any weapon: but only (as I saw ) he sent out of his
mouth as it had been a blast of fire, and out of his lips the wind of flame: and
out of his tongue he cast sparks and storms, and they were all mixed together :
the blast of fire, the wind of the flames, and the great storm, and fell with a
rush upon the people, which was prepared to fight and brunt them up everyone: so
that of the innumerable multitude there was nothing seen, but only dust and
smoke. When I saw this I was afraid.
Afterward saw I the same man come down
from the mountain, and calling unto him another peaceable people: and there came
much people unto him: some were glad some were sorry, some of them were bound,
so that they were carried and brought forth.
Then was I sick through great fear, and I
awaked, and said: thou hast shown thy servant all thy wonders from the
beginning, and hast counted me worthy, that thou mightest receive my prayer:
show me now yet this interpretation of this dream. For thus I consider in my
understanding: Woe unto them that shall be left in those days: and much more woe
unto them that are not left behind: for they that were not left, were in
heaviness.
Now understand I the things that are laid up
in the latter days which shall happen unto them, and to those that are not left
behind. Therefore they are come into great perils, and many necessities, like as
these dreams declare. Yet is it easier, that he which suffereth hurt come in
these, then to pass away as a cloud out of the world, and now to see the things
that shall happen in the last.
Then answered he me, and said: The
interpretation of the sight shall I show thee, and I will open unto thee, the
things that thou hast required. For thou hast spoken of them that are left
behind, and this is the interpretation. He that taketh away the peril in that
time, hath kept himself. They that be fallen into harm, are such as have works
and faith unto the Most mighty. Know this therefore, that they which be left
behind, are more blessed, then they that be dead. This is the meaning of the
vision. Where as thou sawest a man coming up from the deep of the sea, the same
is he that God the Highest hath kept a great season, which by his own self will
deliver his creature, and he shall order them that are left behind. And where as
thou sawest, that out of his mouth there came a blast of wind, fire and storm,
and how that he lift up neither sword nor weapon, but that the rushing in of him
destroyed the whole multitude, that came to fight against him: it signifieth,
that the days come, when God will deliver them that are upon the earth, and in a
trance of mind shall he come upon them, that dwell in the earth. And one shall
undertake to fight against another, one city against another, one place against
another, one people against another, one realm against another. When this cometh
to pass, then shall the tokens come, that I showed thee before: and then shall
my son be declared, whom thou sawest climb up as a man. And when all the people
hear his voice every man shall in their own land leave the battle that they have
one against another, an innumerable multitude shall be gathered together, as
they that be willing to come and to overcome him by fighting. But he shall stand
upon the top of mount Sion. Nevertheless Sion shall come, and shall be showed,
being prepared and builded for all men, like as thou sawest the hill graven
forth without any hands. But my son shall rebuke the people that are come for
their wickedness, with the tempest, and for their evil imaginations: and their
pains wherewith they shall be punished, are likened unto the flame: and with out
any labor, shall he destroy them, even by the law, which is compared to the
fire.
And whereas thou sawest, that he gathered
another peaceable people unto him: those are the ten tribes, which were carried
away prisoners out of their own land, in the time of *Oseas the King, whom *Salmanasar
the King of Assiria took prisoner, and carried them over the water, and so they
came into another land.
But they gave them this counsel, that they
should leave the multitude of the Heathen, and go forth into a farther country,
where never mankind dwelt: that they might there keep their statutes, which they
never kept in their own land. And so they entered in at the narrow passages of
water of the Euphrates, and God showed tokens for them, and held still the flood
till they were passed over: for through that country there was a great way,
namely of a year and a half journey, for that same region is called Asareth.
Then dwelt they there unto the latter time: and when they come forth again, the
Highest shall hold still the springs of the stream again, that they may go
through, therefore thou sawest the multitude with peace. And they that be left
behind of thy people, are those that be found within my border. Now when he
destroyeth the multitude that is gathered together, he shall defend his people
that remain, and then shall he show them great wonders.
Then said I: O' Lord, Lord, show me this:
wherefore have I seen the man coming up from the deep of the sea? And he said
unto me: Like as thou canst neither seek out nor know these things that are in
the deep of the sea, even so mayest thou not see my son, or those that be with
him, but in the time of the day. This is the interpretation of the dream which
thou sawest, therefore thou only art here lightened: for thou hast forsaken
thine own law, and applied thy diligence unto mine, and sought it. Thy life thou
hast ordered in wisdom, and hast called understanding your mother, and therefore
have I showed thee the treasure of the Highest. After three days I will show
thee more, and talk with thee at more large, yee heavy and wondrous things will
I declare unto thee.
Then went I forth into the field, giving
praise and thanks greatly unto God, because of his wonders which he did in time,
and because he governeth the same, and such as is in time, and there I sat
three days
