Chpt 4 The Book of the Prophet Daniel ...From the Hebrew “God is my Judge”
Nabuchodonosor King unto all people, kindreds and tongues that dwell upon the whole earth: peace be multiplied among you I thought it good to show the tokens and marvelous works, that the high God hath wrought upon me. O how great are his tokens, and how mighty are his wonders? His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and his power lasteth for ever and ever.
I Nabuchodonosor being at rest in mine house, and flourishing in my palace, saw a dream, which made me afraid: and the thoughts that I had upon my bed, with the visions of my head, troubled me. Then sent I out a commission, that all they which were of wisdom at Babylon should be brought before me, to tell me the interpretation of the dream. So there came the soothsayers, charmers, Caldees and conjurers of devils: to whom I told the dream, but what it be token, they could not show me: till at the last, there came one Daniel ( other wise called Balthasar, according to the name of my god ) which hath the spirit of the holy gods, in him: to whom I told the dream, saying: For so much as I know, that thou hast the spirit of the holy Gods and no secret is hid from thee: tell me therefore, what the vision of my dream ( that I have seen ) may signify. I saw a vision in my head upon my bed: and behold, there stood a tree upon the ground, which was very high, great and mighty: the highth reached unto the heaven, and the breadth extended to all the ends of the earth: his leaves were fair, he had very much fruit, so that every man had enough to eat therin.
The beasts of the field had shadows under it, and the fowls of the air dwelt in the boughs thereof. Shortly, all creatures fed of it. I saw in my head a vision upon my bed: and behold, a watcher came down from heaven, and cried mightily, saying. Hew down the tree, break off his branches, shake off his leaves, and scatter his fruit abroad: that all the beasts may get them away from under him, and the fowls from his branches. Nevertheless leave the ground of his root still in the earth, and bind him upon the plain field, with chains of iron and steel. With the dew of heaven shall he be wet, and he shall have his part with the herbs of the ground with the other wild beasts. That mans heart of his shall be taken from him, and a beasts heart shall be given him, till seven years be come and gone from him.
This errand of the watcher is a commandment grounded and sought out in the country of him, that is most holy: to learn men for to understand, that the highest hath power over the kingdoms of men, and giveth them, to whom it liketh him, and bringeth the very out casts of men over them. This is the dream, that I king Nabuchodonosor have seen. Therefore O Balthasar, tell thou me what it signifieth: for so much as all the wise men of my kingdom are not able to show me what it meaneth. But thou canst do it, for the spirit of the holy Gods is in thee.
Then Daniel ( whose name was Balthasar ) held his peace by the space of an hour and his thoughts troubled him. So the king spake, and said: O Balthasar, let neither the dream nor the interpretation thereof fear thee. Balthasar answered saying: O my Lord, this dream happen to thine enemies, and the interpretation to thine adversary. As for the tree that thou sawest which was so great and mighty, whose height reached unto the heaven, and his breadth in to all the world: whose leaves were fair, and the fruit thereof much: under the which the beasts of the field had their habitation, and upon whose branches the fowls of the air did sit.
Even thou ( O king ) art the tree, great and strong. Thy greatness increaseth, and reacheth unto heaven, so doth thy power to the ends of the earth. But where as the king saw a watcher even an holy one angel, that came down from heaven, and said: hew down the tree, and destroy it: yet leave the ground of the root in the earth: and bind him upon the plain field with chains of iron and steel: He shall be wet with the dew of heaven, and his part with the beasts of the field, till seven years be come and gone from him: This ( O king ) is the interpretation , yee it is the very device of him, that is highest of all, and it touched my Lord the king.
Thou shalt be cast from men, and thy dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field: with grass shalt thou be fed like an ox. Thou must be wet with the dew of heaven: yee seven years shall come, and go upon thee, till thou know, that the highest hath power upon the kingdoms of men, and giveth them to whom he *list. Moreover, where it was said, that the root of the tree should be left still in the ground: it betokeneth, that thy kingdom shall remain whole unto thee, after thou has learned to know, that the power cometh from heaven. Wherefore, O king, be content with my counsel, that thou may lose thy sins with righteousness, and thine offenses with mercy to poor people: for such things shall prolong peace. All these things touche the King Nabuchodonosor.
So after twelve months, the king walked up and down in the palace of the kingdom of Babylon, and said: This is the great city of Babylon, which I myself ( with my power and strength ) have made a kings court, for the honor of my majesty. While these words were yet in the kings mouth, there fell a voice from heaven, saying: O king Nabuchodonosor, to that be it spoken: Thy kingdom is departed from thee, thou shalt be cast out of mens company: thy dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field, so that thou shall eat grass like as an ox, till seven years be come and gone over thee: even until thou knowest, that the highest hath power upon the kingdoms men, and that he may give them, unto whom it pleaseth him. The very same hour was this matter fulfilled upon Nabuchodonosor: so that he was cast out from mens company, and ate grass like an ox, His body was wet with the dew of heaven, till his hairs were as great as Eagles feathers, and his nails like birds claws. When this time was past, I Nabuchodonosor lifted up mine eyes unto heaven, and mine understanding was restored unto me again. Then I gave thanks to the highest. I magnified and praised him that liveth for evermore, whose power endureth always, and his kingdom from one generation to another: in comparison of whom all they that dwell upon the earth, are to be reputed as nothing.
He handleth according to his will, among the powers of heaven and among the inhabitants of the earth: and there is none that may resist his hand, or say: what doest thou? At the same time was mine understanding given me again, and I was restored to the honor of my kingdom, to my dignity, an to my own shape again. My great estates and Princes sought unto me, and I was set in my kingdom again, so that I had yet greater worship.
Then did I Nabuchodonosor, love, magnify and praise the King of heaven: for all his works are true, and his ways right. As for those that go on proudly, he is able to bring them down.
Chpt 18 The Second Book of Samuel ...also called the Second Book of the Kings if from the Latin
And the king numbered the people that were with him, and set captains of thousands and of hundreds over them. And he sent one part of them with Joab, and another part with Abisai the son of Zaruiah Joabs brother, and the third part with Ethai the Gethite. And the king said unto the people: shall I go with you? And the people answered: nay, for if we flee, our adversaries will not care for us: neither though half of us were slain, shall they regard us. But thou were worth ten thousand of us. And therefore it is better that thou be ready to succour us out of the city. Then said the king: what seemeth you best, that will I do.
And the king stood up by the Gates side, and all the people came out by hundreds and by thousands. And the king commanded Joab, Abisai, and Ethai saying: entreat me *Jently my son Absalom. And all the people heard when the king gave all the captains charge over Absalom. And the people went out into the field against Israel, and the battle was in the wood of Ephraim. Where the people of Israel were put to the worse before the servants of David, and there was a great slaughter that day, even of twenty thousand men. And the field was fought in divers places, all abroad upon the earth. And the woods devoured more people that day than did the sword. And it chanced Absalom to come before the servants of David riding upon a Mule which carried him under the thick boughs of a great Oak. And his head caught in the Oak, and he was left between heaven and earth, and the Mule that was under him went his way. And one that saw it told Joab saying: behold, I saw Absalom hang in an Oak: and Joab said unto him that told him: lo, sawest thou him? And why didst thou not there smite him to the ground, that I should have given thee ten sickles of silver and a soldiers girdle.
And the man answered Joab: though I had a thousand sickles of silver told in my hand yet would I not stretch out mine hand against the kings son. For we heard with our ears when the king charged thee, Abisai and Ethai, saying: spare me the lad Absalom. Moreover though I had jeopardied my life and done falsely thereto, yet could nought of all the matter have been hid from the king: yea and thou thyself wouldest be against me. Then said Joab I may not stand tarrying with thee. And therewith he took three spears in his hand and thrust them into the heart of Absalom, while he was yet alive on the body of the tree. And ten servants that bare Joabs weapons, turned and smote Absalom and slew him. Then Joab blew a trumpet, and the people returned from following Israel: for Joab spared the people. And they took Absalom and cast him into a great pit that was in the wood, and cast a mighty great heap of stones upon him. And all Israel fled every man to his tent. And this Absalom yet in his lifetime, took and reared up a pillar, which is yet in kings dale. For he said: I have no male child. And therefore to keep my name in remembrance do I it. And he called the pillar after his own name. And it is called unto this day, Absaloms pillar.

Chpt 2 The Epistle of St Paul the Apostle to the Ephesians
But God which is rich in mercy through his great love wherewith he loved us, even when we were dead by sin, hath quickened us together in Christ (for by grace are ye saved) and hath raised us up together and made us sit together in heavenly things through Christ Jesus, for to show in times to come the exceeding riches of his grace, in kindness to us ward in Christ *Jesu. For by grace are ye made safe through faith, and that not of yourselves. For it is the gift of God, and cometh not of works, lest any man should boast himself. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesu unto good works, unto the which God ordained us before, that we should walk in them.
Wherefore remember that ye being in time past gentiles in the flesh, and were called uncircumcision to them which are called circumcision in the flesh, which circumcision is made by hands: Remember I say, that ye were at that time without Christ, and were reputed aliens from the common wealth of Israel, and were strangers from the testaments of promise, and had no hope, and were without God in this world. But now in Christ Jesu, ye which a while ago were far off, are made nigh by the blood of Christ.
But after that the kindness and love of our saviour God to man ward appeared, not of the deeds of righteousness which we wrought but of his mercy he saved us, by the fountain of the new birth, and with the renewing of the holy ghost, which he shed on us abundantly, through Jesus Christ our saviour, that we once justified by his grace, should be heirs of eternal life, through hope. This is a true saying.
This is a true saying.
This is a true saying.

Chpt 13 The Gospel of St Luke
Then said he: What is the kingdom of God like? or whereto shall I compare it? Is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took and sowed in his garden: and it grew and waxed a great tree, and the fowls of the air made nests in the branches of it.
