Finally my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his
might. Put on the armour of God, that ye may stand steadfast against the crafty
assaults of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood: but
against rule, against power, and against worldly rulers of the darkness of this
world against spiritual wickedness, for heavenly things.
For this cause take unto you the armour of
God, that ye may be able to resist in the evil day, and to stand perfect in all
things.
Stand therefore, and your loins girt about
with verity, having on the breastplate of righteousness, and shod with shoes
prepared by the Gospell of peace. Above all take to you the shield of faith,
wherewith ye may quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet
of salvation, and the sword of the spirit, which is the word of God. And pray
always with all manner prayer and supplication: and that in the spirit: and
watch thereunto with all instance and supplication for all saints and for me,
that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to utter
the secrets of the Gospell, whereof I am a messenger in bonds, that therein I
may speak freely, as it becometh me to speak

Every man can *eschue a person moved to anger, for what he doth wisely? Even
so shall the Lord of Hosts take away from Jerusalem and from Juda, all
possessions and power, all meat and drink, the captain and the soldier, the
judge and the prophet, the wise and the aged man, the worshipful of fifty year
old, and the honorable: the Senators, and the men of understanding: the masters
of crafts and orators. And I shall give you children to be your princes,(
sayeth the Lord ) and babes shall have the rule of you. One shall ever be
doing violence and wrong to another. The boy will presume against the elder, and
the vile person against the honorable. Ye when one shall take a friend of
his own kindred by the bosom, and say: Thou hast clothing, thou shalt be our
head, for thou mayest keep us from this fall and peril.
Then shall he swear and say: I can not help you. Moreover, there is
neither meat nor clothing in my house, make me no ruler of the people. For
Jerusalem and Juda must decay, because both their words and counsel are against
the Lord, they provoke the presence of his Majesty unto anger. The changing
of their countenance betrayeth them, yee they declare their own sins themselves,
as the Sodomites, and hide them not. Woe be unto their souls, for they shall be
heavily rewarded. Then shall they say: O happy are the godly, for they may
enjoy the fruits of their studies. But woe be unto the ungodly and unrighteous
for they shall be rewarded after their works. O my people, *ribaudes oppress
thee, and women have rule of thee. O my people, thy leaders deceive thee, and
tread out the way of thy footsteps. The Lord is here to commune of the
matter, and standeth to give judgement with the people. The Lord shall come
forth to reason with the Senators and princes of his people, and shall say thus
unto them: It is ye that have burnt up my vineyard, the robbery of the poor
is in your house. Wherefore do ye oppress my people, and marred the faces of the
innocents? thus shall the Lord God of Hosts revile them.
Moreover thus sayeth the Lord: Seeing the daughters of Sion are become so proud,
and come in with stretched out necks, and with vain wanton eyes: seeing they
come in tripping so nicely with their feet: Therefore shall the Lord shave the
heads of the daughters of Sion, and make their beauty bare in the day. In that
day shall the Lord take away the gorgeousness of their apparel, and spangles,
chains, *partlets, and collars, bracelets and hooves, that goodly flowered wide
and boarded raiment, brushes and head bands, rings and garlands, holy day
clothes and veils, kerchiefs and pins, glasses and smocks, bonnets and *taches
And instead of good smell there shall be stink among them. And for their girdles
there shall be loose bands. And for well set hair there shall be baldness.
Instead of a stomacher, a sackcloth, and for their beauty witherdness and *son
burning. Their husbands and their mighty men shall perish with the sword in
battle.

And there were two evil doers led
with him to be slain. And when they were come to the place, which is called
Calvary, there they crucified him, and the evil doers, one on the right hand,
and the other on the left. Then said Jesus: father forgive them, for they *wot
not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots. And the people
stood and beheld.
And the rulers mocked him with them saying
he help other men, let him help himself, if he be Christ the chosen of God. The
soldiers also mocked him, and came and gave him vinegar and said: if thou be
that king of the Jews save thy self. And his superscription was written over
him, in Greek, in Latin, and Hebreu: This is the king of the Jews.
And one of the evil doers which hanged,
railed on him saying: If thou be Christ save thy self and us. The other answered
and rebuked him saying, Neither fearest thou God because thou art in the same
damnation? We are righteously punished, for we receive according to our deeds:
But this man hath done nothing amiss. And he said unto Jesus: Lord remember me
when thou comest into thy kingdom. And Jesus said unto him: Verily I say unto
thee, today shalt thou be with me in Paradise.

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

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

But Jesus knew their thoughts, and said to them. Every kingdom divided
within itself, shall be brought to naught. Neither shall any city or
household divided against itself, continue. So if Satan cast out Satan,
then is he divided against himself. How shall then his kingdom endure?
Also if I by the help of Belzebub cast out devils: by whose help do your
children cast them out? Therefore they shall be your judges. But if I cast out
the devils by the spirit of God: then is the kingdom of God come on you?

I am come to send fire on earth: and what is my desire,
but that it were already kindled? Notwithstanding I must be baptised with a
baptism: and how am I pained till it be ended? Suppose ye that I am come to
send peace on earth? I tell you nay, but rather debate. For from henceforth
there shall be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against
three. The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the
father. The mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother.
The mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against
her mother in law.
Then said he to the people: when ye see a
cloud rise out of the west straight way ye say: we shall have a shower, and so

I will always give thanks unto the Lord, his praise shall ever be in my
mouth.
My soul shall make her boast in the Lord:
the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad. O praise the Lord with me, and let
us magnify his name together. I sought the Lord, and he heard me, yee he
delivered me out of all my fear.
They that have a eye unto him, shall be
lightened, and their faces shall not be ashamed. This poor man cried unto the
Lord, and he heard him, yee and delivered him out of all his troubles. The Angel
of the Lord pitcheth his tent round about him that fear him, and delivereth
them.
O taste and see how friendly the Lord is,
blessed is the man that trusteth in him.
O fear the Lord, ye that be his saints: for
they that fear him, lack nothing.
The rich shall want and suffer hunger, but
they which seek the Lord, shall want no manner of thing, that is good.
Come hither, O ye children, hearken unto me,
I will teach you the fear of the Lord.
Who so listeth to live, and would faine see
good days.
Let him refrain his tongue from evil, and
his lips that they speak no guile.
Let him eschue evil, and do good: Let him
seek peace and ensue it.
For the eyes of the Lord are over the
righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers. But the face of the Lord
beholdeth them that do evil, to destroy the remembrance of them out of the
earth. When the righteous cry, the Lord heareth them, and delivereth them out of
all their troubles. The Lord is nigh unto
them that are contrite in heart, and will help such as be of an humble spirit.
Great are the troubles of the righteous, but the Lord delivereth them out of
all. He keepeth all their bones, so that not one of them is broken. But
misfortune shall slay the ungodly, and they that hate the righteous shall
be guilty.
The Lord delivereth the souls of his
servants, and all they that put their trust in him, shall not offend

When the son
of man cometh in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he
sit upon the seat of his glory, and before him shall be gathered all nations. And
he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth the sheep from

goats on the left. Then
shall the King say to them on his right hand: Come ye blessed children of my
father, inherit ye the kingdom prepared for you from the beginning of the world.
For I was an hungered, and ye gave me meat. I thirsted, and ye gave me drink. I
was harborless, and ye lodged me. I was naked and ye clothed me. I was sick and
ye visited me. I was in prison and ye came unto me. Then shall the righteous
answer him saying: master, when saw we thee an hungered, and fed thee? or a
thirst, and gave thee drink? when saw we thee harborless, and lodged thee? or
naked and clothed thee? or when saw we thee sick or in prison and came unto
thee? And the king shall answer and say unto them: Verily I say unto you: in as
much as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done
it to me.
Then shall the king say unto them that
shall be on the left
hand: depart from me ye cursed, into everlasting fire: which is prepared for the
devil and his angels.
For I was an hungered, and ye gave me no meat. I thirsted, and ye gave me no
drink. I was harborless, and ye lodged me not. I was naked, and ye clothed me
not. I was sick and in prison, and ye visited me not.
Then shall they also answer him saying:
master, when saw we thee an hungered, or a thirst, or harborless, or naked, or
sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee? Then shall he answer them
and say: Verily I say unto you, in as much as ye did it not to one of the least
of these, ye did it not to me. And these shall go into everlasting pain: And 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
