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.

Then went Abimelech to Thebes and besieged it
and took it. But there was a strong tower in the midst of the city, and thither
ran all the men and women and all the citizens of the city and shut it to them,
and got them up upon the top of the tower. Then came Abimelech unto the tower
and fought against it, and went hard unto the entering of the gate, to set it on
fire. But a woman cast a piece of a millstone upon his head and all to brake his
brain pan.
Then Abimelech called hastily unto the young
man that bare his harness, and said unto him: draw thy sword and slay me, that
men say not of me, a woman slew him. And his lad thrust him through and he died.
Woe to the crown of pride, to the drunken *Ephraimites, and to the fading flower, to the glory of his pomp, that is upon the top of the plentious valley: which men be overladen with wine. Behold, the strength and power of the Lord shall break into the land on every side, like a tempest of hail, that beareth down strongholds, and like an horrible, mighty and overflowing water. And the proud crown of the drunken Ephraimites, shall be trodden under foot. And as the fading flower, which is upon the top of the plentious valley: it shall happen unto him, as to an untimely fruit before the harvest come. Which as soon as it is seen, is by and by devoured, or ever it come well in a mans hand.
And then shall the Lord of Hosts be a joyful crown, and a glorious garland unto the remnant of his people. Unto the lowly, he shall be a spirit of Judgement, and unto them that drive away the enemies from the gates, he shall be a spirit of strength. But hey go wrong by the reason of wine, they fall and *stacker because of strong drink. Yee even the priests and prophets themselves go amiss, they are drunken with wine, and weak brained through strong drink. They error in seeing, and in judgement they fail. for all tables are so full of vomit and filthiness, that no place is clean. What is he among them, that can teach, instruct or inform the children, which are weeded from suck or taken from the breasts: of any other fashion then: Command that may be commanded, bid that my be bidden, forbid that may be forbidden, keep back that may be kept back, here a little there a little. And therefore the Lord also shall speak with lisping lips and with a strange language unto this people, to whom he spake afore of this manner: This shall bring rest, if one refresh the weary, yee this shall bring rest. But they had no will to hear. And therefore the Lord shall answer their stubbornness. Command that may be commanded, bid that my be bidden, forbid that may be forbidden, keep back that may be kept back, here a little there a little. That they may go forth, fall backward, be bruised, snared, and taken. Wherefore hear the word of the Lord, ye mockers that rule the Lords people, which is at Jerusalem. For ye comfort yourselves thus: Tush, death and we are at point, and as for hell, we have made a condition with it, that though it break out any sore plague, it shall not come upon us. For with deceit we shall escape, and with nimbleness we will defend ourselves. Therefore saith the Lord God: Behold, I will lay a stone in Sion, a great stone, a costly corner stone, for a sure foundation: that who so putteth his trust in him, shall not be confounded. Righteousness will I set up again in the balance, and judgement in the weights. The tempest of hail shall take away your refuge, that ye have to deceive withal: and the overflowing waters shall break down your strongholds of dissimulation. Thus the appointment you have made with death, shall be done away: and the condition that ye made with hell, shall not stand. When the great destruction goeth through, it shall all to tread you. It shall take you quiet away before it. For it shall go forth early in the morning, and continue only that day and that night. And the very fear only shall teach you, when ye hear it. For the bed shall be so narrow that a man can not lie upon it: And the covering to small, that a man may not wind himself therin. For the Lord shall step forth as he did upon the mount Perazim, and take on as he did upon the dale of Gabaon: that he may bring forth his device, his strange device: and fulfill his work, his wonderful work. And therefore make no mocks at it, that your captivity increase not: for I have heard the Lord God of Hosts say, that there shall come a sudden destruction and plague upon the whole earth. Take heed, and hear my voice, ponder and *mark my words well. Goeth not the houseband man ever in due season earnestly to his land? He moweth and ploweth his ground to sow. And when he hath made it plain, he soweth it with *fetches or *comin. He soweth the wheat and Barley in their place, Milium and Rye also in their place. And that he may do it right, his God teacheth him and showeth him. For he treadeth not the fitches out with a *wane, neither bringeth he the cart here and there over the comin, but he thresheth the fitches out with a flayle, and the comin with a rod. As for the wheat, he grindeth it to make bread thereof, In as much as he can not bring it to pass with treading out. For neither the bruising that the cart wheels make, ner his beasts can grind it. This and such like things come of the Lord of Hosts which is marvelous in counsel, and great in righteousness.

The Second Book - of Samuel
The 6th Chapter
After
that, David chose out all the chief young men in Israel to the sum of thirty
thousand, and arose and went and all the folk that were with him of the men of
Juda, to fetch away the Ark of God upon which is called the name of the Lord of
hosts that dwelleth between the cherubins. And they put the Ark of God upon
a new cart and brought it out of the house of Abinadab that dwelt at Gabaah. And
Ozah and Ahio the sons of Abinadab drove the new cart. And when they brought it
out of that house of Abinadab that dwelt at Gabaah with the Ark of God, Ahio
went before the ark. And David and all the house of Israel played before the
Lord with all manner instruments of fir wood, with harps, psalteries, timbrels,
fiddles and cymbals.
And when they came to Nachons threshing
floor, Ozah put his hand to the ark of God and held it, for the oxen stumbled.
And the Lord was wrath with Ozah and God smote him in the same place for his
fault, and there he died by the ark of God. And David was displeased because the
Lord had rent Ozah. And the name of the place was called Perez Ozah until this
day. And David was then afraid of the Lord and said: how should the Ark of the
Lord come to my house? And so David would not bring the Ark of the Lord with him
into the city of David. But carried it into the house of Obed Edom a Gethite.
And the Ark of the Lord continued in the house of Obed Edom the Gethite, three
months, and the Lord blessed Obed Edom and all his household. And when it was
told King David how that the Lord had blessed the house of Obed Edom and all
that pertained unto him, because of the Ark of God, he went and brought the Ark
of God from the house of Obed Edom unto the city of David with gladness. And
ever when they that bare the Ark of the Lord, had gone six *passes, he offered
an ox and a fat sheep. And David danced before the Lord with all his might in a
linen Ephod gird unto him. And David and all the house of Israel brought the ark
of the Lord with shouting and trumpet blowing.
And as the ark of the Lord came into the
city of David, Michol Sauls daughter looked through a window and saw King David
spring and dance before the Lord, and therefore despised him in her heart. And
when they had brought in the Ark of the Lord, and had set it even in his place,
even in the tabernacle that David had prepared for it: David offered
burntofferings and peaceofferings before the Lord, and as soon as David had made
and end of offering burntofferings and peaceofferings he blessed the people in
the name of the Lord of Hosts, and gave among all the folk, even among the whole
multitude of Israel, as well to the women as men every one a Cake of bread and a
piece of flesh and a flacket of wine. And so the people departed every man to
his house.
Then David returned to salute his household.
And Michol the daughter of Saul came out against him and said: Oh how glorious
was the king of Israel today, which stripped himself today before the eyes of
the maidens of his servants, as a light brained fellow is wont to strip himself.
But David said again to Michol, I will make sport before the Lord which chose me
before thy father and before all his kin, commanding me to be ruler over all his
people Israel. And I will be yet more vile than so, and will be meek in mine own
sight: and shall for all that of the very same maidservants which thou speakest
of, be had in honor. But the said Michol daughter to Saul had no child unto the
day of her death.
*passes (paces),
and the Word and Words were: O' put not your trust in Princes, nor in any child of man, for there is no help in them. For when the breath of a man goeth forth, he shall turn again to his earth, and so all his thoughts perish.
and so all his thoughts perish...
Praise the Lord, O' my soul: while I live will
I praise the Lord: yee as long as I have any being, I will sing praises unto my
God.
O' put not your trust in Princes, nor in any
child of man, for there is no help in them. For when the breath of a man goeth
forth, he shall turn again to his earth, and so all his thoughts perish.
Blessed is he that hath the God of Jacob for
his help, *and whose hope is in the Lord his God.
Which made heaven and earth, the sea, and
all that therein is, which keepeth his promise forever.
Which helpeth them to right that suffer
wrong, which feedeth the hungry.
The Lord looseth men out of prison, the Lord
giveth sight to the blind.
The Lord helpeth them up that are fallen,
the Lord loveth the righteous.
The Lord careth for the strangers, he
defendeth the fatherless and widow: as for the way of the ungodly, he turneth it
upside down.
The Lord thy God, O' Sion, is King for
evermore, and throughout all generations.

THE ACTS OF THE APOSTLES Chpt 14
And it fortuned in Iconium that they went both together
into the synagogue of the Jewes, and so spake, that a great multitude both of
the Jewes and also of the Greeks believed. But the unbelieving Jews, stirred up
and unquieted the minds of the gentiles against the brethren. Long time abode
they there and quit themselves boldly with the help of the Lord, the
which gave testimony unto the word of his grace, and caused signs and
wonders to be done by their hands. The people of city were divided: and part
held with the Jews, and part with the Apostles.
When there was a fault made both of the
Gentiles and also of the Jewes with their rulers, to put them to shame and to
stone them, they were ware of it, and fled unto Lystra and Derba, cities of
Lycaonia, and unto the region that lieth round about, and there preached the
Gospel. And there sat a certain man at Lystra weak in his feet, being cripple
from his mothers womb, and never walked. The same heard Paul preach. Which
beheld him and perceived that he had faith to be whole, and said with a loud
voice: stand upright on thy feet. And he started up, and walked. And when the
people saw, what Paul had done, they lift up their voices, saying in the speech
of Lycaonia: Gods are come down to us in the likeness of men. And they called
Barnabas Jupiter, and Paul Mercurius, because he was the preacher. Then Jupiters
priest, which dwelt before their city, brought oxen and garlands unto the church
porch, and would have done sacrifice with the people.
But when the Apostles, Barnabas and Paul
heard that, they rent their clothes, and ran in among the people, crying and
saying: sirs, why do ye this? We are mortal men like unto you, and preach unto
you, that ye should turn from these vanities unto the living God, which made
heaven and earth and the sea and all that in them is: the which in times past
suffered all nations to walk in their own ways . Nevertheless he left not
himself without witness, in that he showed his benefits, in giving us rain from
heaven and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness. And with
these sayings, scarce refrained they the people, that they had not done
sacrifice unto them.
Thither came certain Jews from Antioche and
Iconium, and obtained the peoples consent and stoned Paul, and drew him out of
the city, supposing he had been dead. How be it as the disciples stood round
about him, he arose up and came into the city. And the next day he departed with
Barnabas to Derba. After they had preached to that city, and had taught many,
they returned again to Lystra, and to Iconium and Antioche, and strengthened the
disciples souls, exhorting them to continue in the faith, affirming that we must
through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God. And when they had
ordained them elders by election in every congregation, and prayed and fasted,
they commended them to God on whom they believed. And they went through out
Pisidia and came into Pamphilia, and when they had preached the word of God in
Perga, they descended into Attalia, and thence departed by ship to Antioche,
from whence they were delivered unto the grace of God, to the work which they
had fulfilled. When they were come and had gathered the congregation to
gether, they rehearsed all that God had done by them, and how he had opened the
door of faith unto the Gentiles. And there they abode long time with the
disciples
THE REVELATION OF ST JOHN Chpt 14
And I looked, and lo a lamb stood on the
mount Sion, and with him a hundred and forty four thousand having his fathers
name written in their foreheads. And I heard a voice from heaven, as the sound
of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder. And I heard the voice of
harpers harping with their harps. And they sang as it were a new song, before
the seat, and before the four beasts, and the elders, and no man could learn
that song, but the hundred and forty four thousand which were redeemed from the
earth. These are they, which were not defiled with women, for they are virgins.
These follow the lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from men being
the first fruits unto God and to the lamb, and in their mouths was found no
guile. For they are with out spot before the throne of God.
And I saw an angel fly in the midst of
heaven having an everlasting gospel, to preach unto them that sit and dwell on
the earth, and to all nations, kindreds, and tongues and people, saying with a
loud voice: Fear God and give honour to him, for the hour of his judgement is
come: and worship him, that made heaven and earth, and the sea, and fountains of
water. And there followed another angel, saying: Babylon is fallen is fallen
that great city, for she made all nations drink of the wine of her fornication.
And the third angel followed them saying
with a loud voice: If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his
mark in his forehead, or on his hand, the same shall drink of the wine of the
wrath of God, which is poured in the cup of his wrath. And he shall be punished
in fire and brimstone, before the holy angels, and before the lamb.
And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up
evermore. And they have no rest day nor night, which worship the beast and his
image and whosoever receiveth the print of his name. Heare is the patience of
saints. Heare are they that keep the commandments and the faith of *Jesu.
And I heard a voice from heaven saying
unto me: write: Blessed are the dead, which here after die in the Lord,
even so saith the spirit: that they may rest from their labors, but their
works shall follow them. And I looked and behold a white cloud, and upon the
cloud one sitting like unto the son of man, having on his head a golden crown,
and in his hand a sharp sickle. And another Angel came out of the temple, crying
with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud. Thrust in thy sickle and reap
for the time is come to reap, for the corn of the earth is ripe. And he that sat
on the cloud thrust in his sickle on the earth, and the earth was reaped.
And another Angel came out of the temple,
which is in heaven, having also a sharp sickle. And another Angel came out from
the altar, which had power over fire, and cried with a loud cry to him that had
the sharp sickle, and said: thrust in thy sharp sickle, and gather the clusters
of the earth, for her grapes are ripe. And the Angel thrust in his sickle on the
earth: and cut down the grapes of the vineyard of the earth: and cast them into
the great *winefat of the wrath of God, and the winefat was trodden without the
city, and blood came out of the *fat, even unto the horse bridles by the space
of a thousand and six hundred furlongs
*Jesu: Hebrew for Jesus *winefat, *fat; exact spelling, fat can mean from the best part of something or worse; in this case the best ( perfect ) of God’s wrath
There were tyrants in the world in those days. For after that the children of God had gone in unto the daughters of men, and had begotten them children, the same children were the mightiest of the world, and men of renown. And when the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was increased upon the earth, and that all the imagination and thoughts of his heart was only evil continually, he repented that he had made man upon the earth, and sorrowed in his heart. And said: I will destroy mankind which I have made, from off the face of the earth: both man, beast, worm and fowl of the air, for it repenteth me that I have made them. But yet Noe found grace in the sight of the Lord.
THE FIRST TO THE CORINTHIANS Chpt 11
For this cause many are weak and sick among you, and many sleep. If we had truly judged ourselves, we should not have been judged. But when we are judged of the Lord we are chastened, because we should not be damned with the world. Wherefore my brethren when ye come to gether to eat, tarry one for another. If any man hunger, let him eat at home, that ye come not together unto condemnation. Other things will I set in order when I come

KJV {31] For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.
NIV [31] But if we judged ourselves, we would not come under judgment.
What preferment than hath the Jewe? other what
advantageth circumcision? Surely very much. First unto them was committed the
word of God. What then though some of them did not believe? shall their unbelief
make the promise of God without effect? God forbid. Let God be true, and all men
liars, as it is written: That thou mightest be justified in thy saying and
shouldest overcome when thou art judged.
If our unrighteousness make the
righteousness of God more excellent: what shall we say? Is God unrighteous which
taketh vengeance? I speak after the manner of men. God forbid. For how then
shall God judge the world? If the verity of God appear more excellent through my
lie, unto his praise, why am I henceforth judged as a sinner? and say not rather
(as men evil speak of us, and as some affirm that we say) let us do evil that
good may come thereof. Whose damnation is just.
What say we then? Are we better than they?
No, in no wise. For we have already proved how that both Jews and Gentiles are
all under sin, as it is written: There is none righteous no not one: there is
none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God, they are all gone
out of the way, they are all made unprofitable, there is none that doeth good,
no not one. Their throat is an open sepulchre, with their tongues they have
deceived: the poison of asps is under their lips. Whose mouths are full of
cursing and bitterness. Their feet are swift to shed blood. Destruction and
wretchedness are in their ways. And the way of peace they have not known.
There is no fear of God before their eyes.
THE FOURTH BOOK OF ESDRAS Chpt 16
Woe be unto thee Babylon and Asia, woe be unto thee
Egypt and Syria: gird yourselves with clothes of sack and hear, and mourn for
your children, be sorry, for your destruction is at hand. A sword is sent upon
you, and who will turn it back? A fire is kindled among you, and who will quench
it: Plagues are sent unto you, and what is he that will drive them away? May any
man drive away an hungry lion in the woods? Or may any man quench the fire in
the stubble, when it hath gone to burn? May one turn again the arrow, that is
shot of a strong archer? The mighty Lord sendeth the plagues, and what is he
that will drive them away? The fire is kindled and gone forth in his wrath, and
what is he that will quench it? He shall cast lightings, and who shall not fear?
He shall thunder, and who shall not be afraid: The Lord shall threaten and who
shall not utterly be beaten to powder at his presence? The earth quaketh, and
the foundations thereof: the sea ariseth up with waves from the deep, and the
floods of it are unquiet and the fishes thereof also before the Lord, and before
the glory of his power. For strong is his right hand that holdeth the bow, his
arrows that he shooteth, are sharp, and shall not miss, when they begin to be
shot to the ends of the world.
Behold, the plagues are sent, and shall not
turn again, till they come upon the earth. The fire is kindled, and shall not be
put out, till it consume the foundations of the earth. Like as an arrow shot of
a mighty archer, returneth not backward: even so the plagues that shall be sent
upon the earth, shall not turn again. Woe is me, woe is me, who will deliver me
in those days? The beginning of sorrows and great mourning: the beginning of *darth
and great death: the beginning of wars, and the powers shall stand in fear: the
beginning of evils, and they shall tremble everyone. What shall I do in these
things, when the plagues come? Behold, hunger, and plague, trouble and anguish
are sent, as scourging for amendment. But for all these things they shall not
turn from their wickedness, nor be always mindful of the scourging.
Behold, vitals shall be so good cheap upon
the earth, that they shall think them selves to be in good case? And even then
shall mischief grow up upon the earth, wars, darth and great disquietness. For
many of them that dwell upon the earth shall perish of hunger, and the other
that escape the hunger, shall the sword destroy: And the dead shall be cast out
as dung, and there should be no man to comfort them. For the earth shall be
wasted, and the cities shall be cast down: there shall be no man left to till
the earth and to sew it. The trees shall give fruit, and who shall pluck them of
and gather them? The grapes shall be ripe, and who shall tread them: for all the
places shall be desolate of men, so that one man shall desire to see another, or
to hear his voice. For of one whole city there shall be ten left, and two in the
field, which shall hide themselves in the thick bushes, and in the cliffs of
stones: like as when there remain three or four olives upon the tree, or as when
a vineyard is gathered there are left some grapes, of them that diligently
sought through the vineyard.
Even so, in those days there shall be three
or four left, for them that search their houses with the sword. And the earth
shall be left waste, and the fields thereof shall wear old: and her ways and her
paths shall grow full of thorns, because no man shall travel there through. The
daughters shall mourn, having no bridegrooms: the women shall make lamentation,
having no husbands, their daughters shall mourn, having no help of their bride
groom. In the wars shall they be destroyed, and their husbands shall perish of
hunger. O' ye servants of the Lord, hear these things, and mark them. Behold,
the word of the Lord, O' receive it: behold the plagues draw near, and are not
slack in tarrying. Like as a travailing woman, which after nine months bringeth
forth a son, when the hour of the birth is come, an hour two or three afore that
the pains come upon her body, and when the child cometh to the birth, they tarry
not the twinkling of an lie: Even so shall not the plagues be slack to come upon
the earth, and the world shall mourn, and sorrows shall come upon it on every
side.
O' my people, hear my word, make you ready
to the battle: and in all evil be as pilgrims upon the earth He that selleth,
let him be as he that flyeth his way: and he that buyeth, as one that will
lease. Who so occupieth merchandise, as he that winneth not: and he that
buildeth, as he that shall not dwell therin: he that soweth, as one that shall
not reap: he that twisteth the vineyard, as he that shall not gather the grapes:
they that marry, as they that shall get no children: and they that marry not, as
the widows: and therefore they that labor, labor in vain. For strangers shall
reap their fruits, and spoil their goods, overthrow their houses, and take their
children captive, for in captivity and hunger shall they get children. And they
that occupy their merchandise with robbery, how long deck they their cities,
their houses, their possessions, their persons? the more will I punish them for
their sins, sayeth the Lord. Like as an whore envieth an honest woman, so shall
righteousness hate iniquity, when she decketh herself, and shall accuse her to
her face, when he cometh that defendeth, which shall make inquisition for all
sin upon the earth. And therefore be not ye like thereunto, near to the works
thereof: for or ever it be long, iniquity shall be taken away out of the earth,
and righteousness shall reign among you.
Let not the sinner say, that he hath not
sinned: for coals of fire shall burn upon his head, which sayeth before the Lord
God and his glory: I have not sinned. Behold, the Lord knoweth all the works of
men, their imaginations, their thoughts and their hearts. For he spoke but the
word: let the earth be made, and it was made: let the heaven be made, and it was
made. In his word were the stars made, and he knoweth the number of them. He
searcheth the ground of the deep, and the treasures thereof: he hath measured
the sea, and what it containeth. He hath shut the sea in the midst of the
waters, and with his word hath he hanged the earth upon the waters. He spreadeth
out the heaven like a *vawte, upon the waters hath he founded it. In the desert
a dry wilderness hath he made springs of water, and poles upon the tops of
mountains, that the floods might pour down from the stony rocks to water the
earth. He made man, and put his heart in the midst of the body, and gave him
breath, life and understanding, yee and the spirit of the Almighty God, which
made all things, and hath searched the ground of all the secrets of the earth.
He knoweth your imaginations and inventions,
and what ye think when ye sin, and would hide your sins. Therefore hath the Lord
searched and sought out all your works, and he shall *bewray you all. And when
your sins are brought forth, ye shall be ashamed before men, and your own sins
shall be your accusers in that day. What will ye do? Or how will ye hide your
sins before God and his Angels? Behold, God himself is the judge, fear him,
leave off from your sins, and forget your unrighteousness, and meddle no more
with them: so shall God lead you forth, and deliver you from all trouble. For
behold, the heat of the great multitude is kindled over you, and they shall take
away certain of you, and feed the idle with Idols: and they that consent unto
them, shall be had in *derision, laughed to scorn, and trodden under foot.
For unto the places there shall be a place,
and in the next cities a great insurrection upon those that fear the Lord. They
shall be like madmen, they shall spare no man: they shall spoil and waste such
as fear the Lord, their goods shall they take from them, and shut them out of
their houses. Then shalt it be known who are my chosen, and they shall be tried
as the gold in the fire. Hear O' ye my beloved, sayeth the Lord: behold, the
days of trouble are at hand, but I will deliver you from the same. Be not
afraid, despair not, for God is your captain.
Who so keepeth my commandments and precepts
( sayeth the Lord God ) let not your sins weigh you down, and let not your
unrighteousness be lift up. Woe be unto to those that are subdued unto their own
sins, and tangled in their wickednesses: like as a field is hedged in with
bushes, and the path thereof covered with thorns, that no man may travel
through: and so is he taken, and cast in the fire, and burnt

meaning an arched overhead covering). *bewray (disclose, reveal, uncover).
*derision; laughed to scorn, and trod under foot contempt.
THE GOSPELL OF ST. LUKE Chpt 2
And it chanced in those days: that there went out a
commandment from August the Emperor, that all the world should be taxed. And
this taxing was the first, and executed when Syrenius was leftenant in Syria.
And every man went unto his own city to be taxed. And Joseph also ascended from
Galilee, out of a city called Nazareth, into *Jurie: unto the city of David
which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and lineage of David, to
be taxed with Mary his spoused wife which was with child.
And it fortuned while they were there, her
time was come that she should be delivered. And she brought forth her first
begotten son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger,
because there was no room for them within in the inn.
And there were in the same region shepherds
abiding in the field and watching their flock by night. And lo: the angel of the
Lord stood hard by them, and the brightness of the Lord shone round about them,
and they were sore afraid. But the angel said unto them: Be not afraid. For
behold, I bring you tidings of great joy, that shall come to all the people: for
unto you is born this day in the city of David, a saviour which is Christ the
Lord. And take this for a sign: ye shall find the child swaddled and laid in a
manger. And straight way there was with the angel a multitude of heavenly
soldiers, *lauding God and saying: Glory to God on high, and peace on the earth:
and unto men rejoicing.
And it fortuned, as soon as the angels were
gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another: let us go
even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing that is happened, which the Lord hath
showed unto us. And they came with haste and found Mary and Joseph and the babe
laid in a manger. And when they had seen it, they published abroad the saying
which was told them of that child. And all that heard it, wondered at those
things which were told them of the shepherds. But Mary kept all those sayings,
and pondered them in her heart. And the shepherds returned, praising and lauding
God for all that they had heard and seen, even as it was told unto them.
And when the eighth day was come that the
child should be circumcised, his name was called Jesus, which was named of the
Angel before he was conceived in the womb.
And when the time of their purification
(after the law of Moses) was come, they brought him to *Herusalem, to present
him to the Lord (as it is written in the law of the Lord: every man that first
openeth the matrix, shall be called holy to the Lord) and to offer (as it is
said in the law of the Lord) a pair of turtle doves or two young pigeons. And
behold there was a man in *Herusalem whose name was Simeon. And the same man was
just and feared God and longed for the consolation of Israel and the holy ghost
was in him. And an answer was given him of the holy ghost, that he should not
see death, before he had seen the Lords Christ. And he came by inspiration into
the temple.
And when the father and mother brought in
the child Jesus, to do for him after the custom of the law, then took he him up
in his arms and said. Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace
according to thy promise. For mine eyes have seen the saviour sent from thee,
Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people. A light to lighten the
gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel.
And his father and mother marvelled at those
things which were spoken of him. And Simeon blessed them, and said unto Mary his
mother: behold, this child shall be the fall and resurrection of many in Israel,
and a sign which shall be spoken against. And moreover the sword shall pierce
thy soul, that the thoughts of many hearts may be opened.
And there was a Prophetess, one Anna, the
daughter of Phanuel of the tribe of Aser: which was of a great age, and had
lived with an husband seven years from her virginity. And she had been a widow
about four score and four years, which went never out of the temple, but served
God with fasting and prayer night and day. And the same came forth that same
hour, and praised the Lord, and spake of him to all that looked for redemption
in *Herusalem.
And as soon as they had performed all things
according to the law of the Lord, they returned into Galile to their own city
Nazareth. And the child grew and waxed strong in spirit, and was filled with
wisdom, and the grace of God was with him.
And his father and mother went to *Herusalem
every year at the feast of *ester. And when he was twelve years old, they went
up to *Herusalem after the custom of the feast. And when they had fulfilled the
days, as they returned home, the child Jesus bode still in *Herusalem unknowing
to his father and mother. For they supposed he had been in the company, and
therefore came a days journey and sought him among their kinsfolk and
acquaintance. And when they found him not, they went back again to *Herusalem,
and sought him. And it fortuned after three days that they found him in the
temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, both hearing them and *posing them.
And all that heard him, marvelled at his wit and answers.
And when they saw him, they were astonished.
And his mother said unto him: son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? Behold thy
father and I, have sought thee, sorrowing, And he said unto them: how is it that
ye sought me? *Wist ye not that I must go about my fathers business? And they
understood not the saying that he spake to them. And he went with them, and came
to Nazareth, and was obedient to them. But his mother kept all these things in
her heart. And Jesus increased in wisdom and age and in favour with God and man

THE SECOND TO THE CORINTHIANS Chpt 10
I Paul my self beseech you by the meekness and softness
of Christ which when I am present among you, am of no reputation, but am bold
toward you being absent. I beseech you that I need not to be bold when I am
present (with that same confidence, wherewith I am supposed to be bold) against
some which repute us as though we walked carnally. Nevertheless though we walk
compassed with the flesh, yet we war not fleshly. For the weapons of our war are
not carnal things, but things mighty in God, to cast down strongholds,
wherewith we overthrow imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth
itself against the knowledge of God and bring into captivity all understanding
to the obedience of Christ, and are ready to take vengeance on all disobedience,
when your obedience is fulfilled. Look ye on things after the outer appearance?
If any man trust in him self that he is
Christs, let the same also consider of him self, that as he is Christs, even so
are we Christs. And though I should boast my self somewhat more of our authority
which the Lord hath given us to edify and not to destroy you, it should not be
to my shame. This say I, lest I should seem as though I went about to make you
afraid with letters. For the epistles (saith he) are sore and strong: but his
bodily presence is weak, and his speech rude. Let him that is such think on this
wise, that as we are in words by letters when we are absent, such are we in
deeds when we are present.
For we cannot find in our hearts to make
ourselves of the number of them, or to compare ourselves to them, which *laud
them selves nevertheless while they measure them selves with them selves, and
compare them selves with them selves, they understand nought. But we will not
rejoice above measure: but according to the quantity of the measure which God
hath distributed unto us, a measure that reacheth even unto you. For we stretch
not out ourselves beyond measure as though we had not reached unto you. For even
unto you have we come with the gospel of Christ, and we boast not our selves out
of measure in other mens labors. Yee and we hope, when your faith is increased
among you, to be magnified according to our measure, more largely, and to preach
the gospel in those regions which are beyond you: and not to rejoice of that
which is by another mans measure prepared already. Let him that rejoiceth,
rejoice in the Lord. For he that praiseth him self, is not allowed: but he whom
the Lord praiseth
*laud (praise, exalt)
Therefore my brethren dearly beloved and
longed for, my joy and crown, so continue in the Lord ye beloved. I pray Euodias,
and beseech Sintiches that they be of one accord in the Lord. Yee and I beseech
thee faithful yokefellow, help the women which laboured with me in the gospell,
and with Clement also, and with other my labour fellows, whose names are in the
book of life. Rejoice in the Lord alway, and again I say rejoice. Let your
softness be known unto all men. The Lord is even at hand. Be not carefull: but
in all things show your petition unto God in prayer and supplication with giving
of thanks. And the peace of God which passeth all understanding, keep your
hearts and minds in Christ *Jesu.
Furthermore brethren, whatsoever
things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things
are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things pertain to
love, whatsoever things are of honest report: if there be any virtuous
thing, if there be any laudable thing, those same have ye in your
mind, which ye have both learned and received, heard and also seen in me:
those things do, and the God of peace shall be with you. I rejoice in the
Lord greatly, that now at the last ye are revived again to care for me, in that
wherein ye were also carefull, but ye lacked opportunity. I speak not because of
necessity. For I have learned in whatsoever estate I am therewith to be content.
I can both cast down myself, I can also exceed. Everywhere and in all things I
am instructed, both to be full and to be hungry: to have plenty, and to suffer
need. I can do all things through the help of Christ which strengtheneth me. Not
withstanding ye have well done, that ye bare part with me in my tribulation.
Ye of Philippos know that in the beginning
of the Gospell, when I departed from Macedonia, no congregation bare part with
me as concerning giving and receiving, but ye only. For when I was in
Thessalonica, ye sent once and afterward again unto my needs: not that I desire
gifts: but I desire abundant fruit on your part. I received all, and have
plenty. I was even filled after that I have received of Epaphroditus, that which
came from you, an odor that smelleth sweet, a sacrifice accepted and pleasant to
God. My God fulfil all your needs through his glorious riches in Jesu Christ.
Unto God and our father be praise for evermore. Amen. Salute all the saints in
Christ Jesu. The brethren which are with me, greet you. All the saints salute
you: and most of all they which are of the emperors household. The grace of our
Lord Jesu Christ be with you all. Amen
