Cursed be the man that eateth any foode vntill night till I be auenged of myne enemies And so none of the people tasted any sustenaunce 25 And al they of the land came to a wood where honie lay vpon the grounde 26 And the people came into the wood And behold the honie dropped and no man moued his hand to his mouth for the people feared the oth 27 But Ionathan hearde not whē his father charged the people with the oth wherfore he put foorth the ende of the rod that was in his hand and dipt it in an honie combe put his hande to his mouth and his eyes receaued sight 28 Then aunswered one of the people and sayde Thy father made the people to sweare saying Cursed be the mā that eateth any sustenaunce this day And the people were faynt 29 Thē sayd Ionathan My father hath troubled the lande See howe myne eyes hath receaued sight because I tasted a litle of this honie 30 Howe muche more then to day if the people had eaten of the spoyle of their enemies whiche they found And had there not ben then a muche greater slaughter among the Philistines 31 And they smote the Philistines that day from Michmas to Aialon And the people were exceeding faynt 32 And the people gat them to the spoyle and toke sheepe oxen and calues slue them on the ground and the people dyd eate them with the blood 33 Then men tolde Saul saying Behold the people sinne against the Lorde in that they eate with the blood And he sayde Ye haue trespassed Rowle a great stone vnto me this day 34 And Saul sayde againe Go abrode among the people and bid them bring me euery man his oxe and euery man his sheepe and slay them here and eate and sinne not against the Lorde in eating with the blood And the people brought euery man his oxe in his hande that night and slue them there 35 And Saul made an aulter vnto y e Lord And that was the first aulter that he made vnto the Lorde 36 And Saul sayde Let vs go downe after the Philistines by night and spoyle them vntil it be day in the morning and let vs not leaue one man of them And they sayde Do whatsoeuer thou thinkest best Then sayde the priest Let vs come hyther vnto God 37 And Saul asked of God Shall I go downe after the Philistines Wilt thou deliuer them into the handes of Israel But he aunswered him not at that time 38 And Saul sayde Let al the chiefe of the people come hyther and knowe and see by whom this sinne is done this day 39 For as the Lorde liueth whiche saued Israel though it be in Ionathan my sonne he shal dye the death But there was no man among all the people that aunswered him 40 Then he sayde vnto al Israel Be ye on one syde and I and Ionathan my sonne will be on the other syde And the people saide vnto Saul What thou thinkest best that do 41 Therfore Saul saide vnto the Lorde God of Israel geue a perfect lot And Saul and Ionathan were caught but the people scaped free 42 And Saul said Cast lot betweene me and Ionathan my sonne And Ionathan was caught 43 Then Saul saide to Ionathan Tell me what thou hast done And Ionathan tolde him and sayde I tasted a litle honie with the ende of the rod that was in myne hand lo I must dye 44 Saul aunswered * God do so more also to me thou shalt dye the death Ionathan 45 And the people said vnto Saul Shal Ionathan dye which hath so mightilie deliuered Israel God forbid As the Lord lyueth * there shall not one heere of his head fall to y e ground for he hath wrought with God this daye And so the people deliuered Ionathan that he dyed not 46 And then Saul departed vp from folowing the Philistines And the Philistines went to their owne place 47 And so Saul helde the kingdome ouer Israel and fought against all his enemies on euery side against Moab against the children of Ammon against Edom against the kinges of Zoba and against the Philistines And whyther soeuer he turned him selfe he put them to the worse 48 And he gathered his hoast together smote the Amalekites rid Israel out of the handes of them that spoyled them 49 The sonnes of Saul were Ionathan Iessui and Melchisua And his two daughters were thus named the elder was called Merob and the younger Michol 50 And the name of Sauls wife was Ahinoa the daughter of Ahimaaz and the name of his chiefe captaine was Abner the sonne of Ner Sauls vncle 51 And Cis was Sauls father Ner the father of Abner was the sonne of Abiel 52 And there was sore warre against the Philistines all y e dayes of Saul And whomsoeuer Saul sawe to be a strong man and meete for the warre he toke him vnto him The .xv. Chapter 3 Saul is commaunded to slay Amalek 9. He spareth Agag and the best thinges 19. Samuel reproueth him 28. Saul is reiected of the Lorde and his kingdome geuen to another 33. Samuel he weth Agag in peeces 1 SAmuel also saide vnto Saul The Lord sent me to anoynt thee to be king ouer his people ouer Israel Now therfore hearken thou vnto the voyce of the wordes of the Lorde 2 Thus saith the Lorde of hoastes I remember that which Amalek did to Israel how they layed waite for them in the waye as they came vp from Egypt 3 Nowe therfore go and smyte Amalek and destroye ye all that pertaineth vnto them and haue no compassion on them slay both man woman infant and suckling oxe and sheepe camel and asse 4 And Saul gathered the people together and numbred them in Telaim two hundred thousand footemen and ten thousand men of Iuda 5 And Saul came vnto a citie of Amalek and set watch in the brooke 6 And Saul saide vnto the Kenites Go depart get you downe from among the Amalekites lest I destroy you with them for ye shewed mercie to all the children of Israel when they came out of Egypt And so the Kenites departed from among y e Amalekites 7 And Saul smote the Amalekites from Heuila as thou commest to Sur that lyeth before Egypt 8 And toke Agag the king of the Amalekites alyue and vtterly destroyed all the people with the edge of the sworde 6 But Saul and the people spared Agag the better sheepe and the fatter oxen and the lambes and all that was good would not destroy them But al that was foule naught worth that they destroyed vtterlie 10 Then came the word of the Lord vnto Samuel saying 11 It repenteth me that I haue made Saul king For he is turned from me hath not perfourmed my commaundementes And Samuel was euill apayed cryed vnto the
Abia the daughter of Zachariahu 2 And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lorde in all poyntes as did Dauid his father 3 He opened the doores of the house of the Lorde in the first yere and first moneth of his raigne and repaired them 4 And he brought in the priestes and the Leuites and gathered them together into the east streate 5 And saide vnto them Heare me ye Leuites and now be sanctified and halow the house of the Lorde God of your fathers bring filthynesse out of the holy place 6 For our fathers haue trespassed and done euill in the eyes of the Lorde our God and haue forsaken him and turned away their faces from the habitation of the Lord and turned their backes on it 7 And beside that they haue shut vp the doores of the porche and quenched the lampes and haue neither burnt incense nor offered burnt offringes in the holy place vnto the God of Israel 8 Wherefore the wrath of the Lorde fell on Iuda Hierusalem and he hath brought them to trouble to be wondred on to be hissed at euen as ye see with your eyes 9 For loe our fathers were ouerthrowen with the sword and our sonnes our daughters and our wyues were caried away captiue for the same cause 10 And now it is in myne heart to make a couenaunt with the Lord God of Israel that he may turne away his heauy indignation from vs. 11 Now therefore my sonnes be not negligent for the Lorde hath chosen you to stande before him and for to minister and serue him and to burne incense 12 Then the Leuites arose Mahath the sonne of Amasai and Ioel the sonne of Azariahu of the children of the Caathites And of the sonnes of Merari Cis the sonne of Abdi and Azariahu the sonne of Iahalelel And of y e sonnes of the Gersonites Ioah the sonne of Simma and Eden the sonne of Ioah 13 And of the sonnes of Elizaphan Simri and Iehiel And of the sonnes of Asaph Zechariahu and Matthamahu 14 And of the sonnes of Heman Iehiel and Simer And of the sonnes of Ieduthun Semaia and Vzziel 15 And they gathered their brethren and purified them selues and came according to the commaundement of the king and the wordes of the Lord for to clense the house of the Lorde 16 And the priestes went into the inner partes of the house of the Lord to clense it and brought out all the vnclennesse that they founde in the temple of the Lorde into the court of the house of the Lorde And the Leuites toke it to cary it out into the brooke Cedron 17 They began the first day of the first moneth to purifie and the eyght day of the moneth came they to the porche of the Lorde So they sacrified the house of the Lorde in eyght dayes and in the sixteenth day of the first moneth they made an end 18 And they went in to Hezekia the king and saide We haue clensed all the house of the Lorde the aulter of burnt offring with all his vessels and the shew bread table with all his apparell 19 And all the vessels which king Ahaz did cast aside when he raigned transgressed them we haue prepared and sanctified and beholde they are before the aulter of the Lorde 20 And Hezekia the king rose earlye and gathered the lordes of the citie and went vp to the house of the Lorde 21 And they brought seuen oxen seuen rammes seuen sheepe and seuen hee goates to be a sinne offring for the kingdome for the sanctuary and for Iuda And he commaunded the priestes the sonnes of Aaron to offer them on the aulter of the Lorde 22 And they slue the oxen and the priestes receaued the blood and sprinckled it on the aulter likewyse when they had slaine the rammes they sprinckled the blood vpon the aulter They slue also the sheepe and they sprinckled the blood vpon the aulter 23 And then they brought foorth the hee goates for the sinne offering before the king and the congregation put their handes vpon them 24 And the priestes slue them and with the blood of them they clensed the aulter to make satisfaction for all Israel for the king cōmaunded that the burnt offering and the sinne offering shoulde be made for all Israel 25 And set the Leuites in the house of the Lorde with cymbales psalteries and harpes according to the commaundement of Dauid and of Gad the kinges sear and Nathan the prophete For so was the commaundement of the Lord through the hande of his prophetes 26 And the Leuites stoode hauing the instrumentes of Dauid and the priestes helde the trumpettes 27 And Hezekia commaunded to offer the burnt offring vpon the aulter And when the burnt offring began the song of the Lorde began also and the trumpettes with the instrumentes that were ordayned by the hand of Dauid king of Israel 28 And all the congregation worshipped singing a song and blowyng with the trumpettes and all this continued vntill the burnt offring was finished 29 And when they had made an end of offering the king and all that were present with him bowed them selues and worshipped 30 And Hezekia the king and the lordes spake to the Leuites to prayse the Lord with the wordes of Dauid of Asaph the sear And they sang prayses with gladnesse and the other bowed them selues and worshipped 31 And Hezekia aunswered and saide Now ye haue consecrated your handes to the Lorde go to therefore and bryng the sacrifices and thanke offeringes into the house of the Lorde And the congregation brought in the sacrifices thank offeringes and burnt offringes as many as were of a free liberall heart 32 And the number of the burnt offringes which the congregation brought was threescore and ten oxen an hundred rammes two hundred sheepe which were all for the burnt offering of the Lorde 33 And there were dedicated sixe hundred oxen and three thousand sheepe 34 And the priestes were to fewe to flay al the burnt offringes but their brethren the Leuites did helpe them till they had ended the worke vntil the priestes were sanctified For the Leuites were purer hearted to be sanctified then the priestes 35 And therto y e burnt offringes were many with the fat of the peace offringes the drinke offringes that belong to the burnt offring And so the seruice parteyning to the house of the Lorde was finished 36 And Hezekia reioyced and all the people that God had made the folke so readie that the thing was so soone done ¶ The .xxx.

iii. Iohn xiii A Prid. Kl. Siluester bish xxx lxv xxviii lxvi Iude. i. ¶ The summe of the vvhole Scripture of the bookes of the olde and new Testament The bookes of the olde Testament do teache vs that the same God whom Adam Noe Abraham Isahac Iacob Dauid and the other fathers did worship is the onely true God and that he the same is almightie and euerlasting VVho of his meere goodnesse hath created by his worde heauen and earth and all that is in them From whom all thinges do come without whom there is nothing at all And that he is iust and mercifull VVho also worketh all in all after his owne wyll To whom it is not lawfull to say wherefore he doth thus or thus Moreouer these bookes teache vs that this very God almightie after he created all thinges shope also Adam the first man to the image and spirituall similitude of him selfe and that he did constitute him lorde ouer all thinges that he had created in earth VVhich Adam by the enuie and fraude of the deuill transgressing the precept of his creator by this his sinne brought in such and so great sinne into the worlde that we which be sprong from him by the fleshe be in nature the children of wrath and therevpon we be made subiect and thraule to death to dampnation to the yoke and tyranny of the deuill Furthermore vve are taught by these excellent bookes that God promysed to Adam Abraham Isahac Iacob Dauid and to other fathers of the olde time that he would send that blessed seede his sonne Iesus Christe our sauiour which should deliuer all those from sinne and from the tyranny of the deuill which by a liuely and working faith should beleue this promise and put their trust in Iesus Christe hoping that of him and by him they shoulde obtayne this deliueraunce Also they geue vs to vnderstand that in the meane season whyle those fathers the Israelites loked for the saluation and deliueraunce promysed for that the nature of man is such so proude and so corrupt that those would not wyllingly acknowledge themselues to be sinners which had nede of the sauiour promysed God the creator gaue by Moyses his lawe wrytten in two tables of stone that by it sinne and the malice of mans heart being knowen men mought more vehemently thirst for the comming of Iesus Christe who should redeeme and deliuer them from sinne VVhich thing neither the lawe nor yet the sacrifices and oblations of the lawe did perfourme For they were shadowes and figures of the true oblation of the body of Christe by which oblation all sinnes should be blotted out and quite put away By the bookes of the newe Testament we be taught that Christe so afore promysed which is God aboue al thinges most blessed for euer euen he I say which was shadowed in the bookes of the olde Testament and in sacrifices figured that he was sent at the last from the father the selfe same time which the father did constitute within him selfe I say at that time when all wickednesse abounded in the worlde than he was sent And this Iesus our sauiour being borne in the fleshe suffered death and rose againe from the dead VVhich actes of his were not done by him in respect of the good workes of any man for we were all sinners but that this God our father shoulde appeare true in exhibiting the aboundant ryches of his grace which he promysed and that through his mercie he mought bring vs to saluation VVhereupon it is euidently shewed in the newe Testament that Iesus Christe being the true lambe the true sacrifice of the worlde putting away the sinnes of men came into this worlde to purchase grace and peace for vs with the father washing vs from our sinnes in his owne blood and should deliuer vs from the bondage of the deuil whom by sinne we did serue And so we should be adopted by him to be the sonnes of God made heires with him of that most excellent and euerlasting kingdome Now that we should acknowledge this singuler and excellent benefite of God toward vs almightie God geueth vs his holy spirite the fruite and effect of the which is faith in God and in his Christe For without the holy ghost by which we are instructed and sealed neither can we beleue that God the father sent Messias nor yet that Iesus is Christe For no man saith Paul can say that Iesus is the Lorde but by the holy ghost The same spirite witnesseth to our spirite that we are the children of God and powreth into our bowels that charitie which Paul describeth to the Corinthians Furthermore that holy spirite doth geue vs hope which is a sure loking for eternall lyfe whereof he him selfe is the certaine token and pledge Also he geueth vs other spirituall giftes of

testament is confirmed when men are dead for it is yet of no value as long as he that maketh the testameÌ„t is alyue 18 For which cause also neither the firste testamentâ— was dedicated without blood 19 For when Moyses had spoken euery precept to all the people according to the lawe takyng the blood of Calues and of Goates with water purple wooll and ysope he sprynkled both the booke it selfe and all the people 20 Saying This is the blood of the testament whiche God hath enioyned vnto you 21 And lykewise he sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle and all the vessels of the ministerie 22 And almost all thynges are by y e lawe pourged with blood and without sheddyng of blood is no remission 23 It is neede then that the paterne of heauenly thynges be purified with such thynges but the heauenly thynges theÌ„ selues be purified with better sacrifices then are those 24 For Christe is not entred into the holy places made with handes which are paternes of true thynges but into heauen it selfe nowe to appeare in the syght of God for vs. 25 Not that he shoulde offer him selfe often as the hye priest entreth into the holy places euery yere in strauÌ„ge blood 26 For then must he haue often suffred sence the foundation of the worlde But nowe once in the ende of the world hath he appeared to put away sinne by the sacrifice of hym selfe 27 And as it is appoynted vnto men once to dye and after this the iudgement 28 Euen so Christe once offered to take away the sinnes of many the seconde time shal be seene without sinne of them which wayte for hym vnto saluation ¶ The .x. Chapter 1 The olde lawe had no power to clense away sinne 10 but Christe dyd it with offeryng of his body once for all 22 And exhortation to receaue the goodnesse of God thankfully with pacience and stedfast fayth 1 FOr the lawe hauyng the shadow of good thynges to come and not the very fashion of the thinges theÌ„ selues can neuer with those sacrifices whiche they offer yere by yere continually make the commers therevnto perfect 2 For woulde not then those sacrifices haue ceassed to haue ben offred because that the offerers once pourged shoulde haue had no more conscience of sinnes 3 Neuerthelesse in those sacrifices is mention made of sinnes euery yere 4 For it is not possible that the blood of Bulles of Goates shoulde take away sinnes 5 Wherfore when he commeth into the worlde he saith Sacrifice and offring thou wouldest not haue but a body hast thou ordeyned me 6 In burnt sacrifices sinne â—offerynges thou hast had no pleasure 7 Then sayde I lo I come In the begynnyng of the booke it is written of me to do thy wyll O God 8 Aboue when he saith that sacrifice and offeryng and burnt offeringes and sinne offerynges thou wouldest not neither haddest pleasure therein which are offered by the lawe 9 Then sayde he lo I come to do thy wyll O God He taketh away y e first to stablyshe the seconde 10 In y e which wyll we are made holy euen by the offeryng of the body of Iesus Christe once for all 11 And euery priest standeth dayly ministryng offeryng oftentymes the same sacrifices whiche can neuer take away sinnes 12 But this man after he hath offered one sacrifice for sinnes is sit downe for euer on the ryght hande of God 13 From hencefoorth tarying tyl his foes be made his footstoole 14 For with one offeryng hath he made perfite for euer them that are sanctified 15 And the holy ghost also beareth vs recorde For after that he tolde before 16 This is the couenaunt that I wyll make vnto them after those dayes sayth the Lorde geuyng my lawes in their heart and in their myndes wyl I write them 17 And their sinnes and iniquities wyll I remember no more 18 And where remission of these thinges is there is no more offering for sinne 19 Hauyng therefore brethren libertie to enter into holy places in the blood of Iesus 20 By the new and lyuing way which he hath prepared for vs through the vayle that is to say his flesshe 21 And seyng we haue an hye priest ouer the house of God 22 Let vs drawe nye with a true hearte in assuraunce of fayth sprinkeled in our heartes from an euyll conscience and wasshed in body with pure water 23 Let vs holde the profession of the hope without waueryng for he is faythfull that promised 24 And let vs consider one another to prouoke vnto loue and good workes 25 Not forsakyng the assemblyng of our selues together as the maner of some is but exhortyng one â—anotherâ— and so much the more as ye see the day approchyng 26 For yf we sinne wyllyngly after that we haue receaued the knowledge of the trueth there remayneth no more sacrifice for sinnes 27 But a fearefull lokyng for of iudgement and violent fire whiche shall deuour the aduersaries 28 He that despiseth Moyses lawe dyeth without mercie vnder two or thre witnesses 29 Of howe muche sorer punyshement suppose ye shall he be worthy whiche treadeth vnder foote the sonne of God and counteth the blood of the couenauÌ„t wherein he was sanctified an vnholye thyng and doth despite to the spirite of grace 30 For we knowe hym that hath sayde vengeaunce belongeth vnto me I wyl render saith the Lorde And agayne the Lorde shall iudge his people 31 It is a fearefull thyng to fall into the handes of the lyuyng God 32 Call to remeÌ„braunce the former dayes in the which after ye had receaued light ye endured a great fyght of aduersities 33 Partly whyle ye were made a gasing stocke both by reproches afflictions and partly whyle ye became companions of them whiche were so tossed to fro 34 For ye suffred also with my bondes toke in woorth the spoylyng of your goodes with gladnesse knowyng in your selues how that ye haue in heauen a better and an enduryng substaunce 35 Cast not awaye therefore your confidence which hath great recompence of rewarde 36 For ye haue neede of pacience that after ye haue done the wyll of God ye myght receaue the promise 37 For yet a very litle whyle and he that shall come wyll come and wyll not tary 38 And the iuste shall lyue by fayth And yf he withdrawe hym selfe my soule shall haue no pleasure in hym 39 We are not of them that withdrawe our selues vnto perdition but we parteyne vnto fayth to the wynning of the soule ⧠The .xj. Chapter 1 What fayth is and a commendation of the same 9 Without fayth we can not please God 16 The stedfast beliefe of the fathers in olde tyme. 1 FAyth is the grounde of thynges hoped for the euidence of thynges not seene 2 For by it the elders obtayned a good report 3 Through fayth we vnderstande that the worldes were
ordeined by the word of God and that thynges whiche are seene were made of thynges * whiche were not seene 4 By fayth Abel offered vnto God a more excellent sacrifice then Cain by whiche he was witnessed to be ryghteous God testifiyng of his gyftes by which also he beyng dead yet speaketh 5 By fayth was Enoch translated that he shoulde not see death neither was he founde for God had taken hym away For afore he was taken away he was reported of to haue pleased God 6 But without fayth it is vnpossible to please hym For he that cōmeth to God must beleue that God is and that he is a rewarder of them that seeke him 7 By fayth Noe beyng warned of God of thinges not seene as yet moued with reuerence prepared the arke to the sauyng of his house through the whiche arke he condempned the worlde and became heire of the righteousnes which is by fayth 8 By fayth Abraham when he was called obeyed to go out into a place whiche he shoulde afterwarde receaue to inheritaunce and he went out not knowyng whyther he shoulde go 9 By fayth he remoued into the lande of promise as into a straunge countrey whē he had dwelt in tabernacles with Isaac and Iacob heires with hym of the same promise 10 For he loked for a citie hauyng a foundation whose buylder and maker is God 11 Through fayth also Sara her selfe receaued strength to conceaue seede and was delyuered of a chylde whē she was past age because she iudged hym faythfull which had promised 12 And therfore sprang there of one euen of one whiche was as good as dead so many in multitude as are the starres in the skye and as the sande the whiche is by the sea shore innumerable 13 These all dyed according to fayth not hauing receaued the promises but seing them a farre of and beleuyng and salutyng and confessyng that they were straungers and pilgrimes on the earth 14 For they that saye suche thynges declare that they seke a countrey 15 Also yf they had ben myndfull of that countrey from whence they came out they had leasure to haue returned 16 But nowe they desire a better that is a heauenly Wherefore God is not ashamed of them to be called their God for he hath prepared for them a citie 17 By fayth Abraham offered vp Isaac when he was proued and he that had receaued the promises offered vp his only begotten sonne 18 To whom it was saide that in Isaac shall thy seede be called 19 For he considered that God was able to rayse the dead vp agayne frō whence also he receaued hym in a similitude of the resurrection 20 By fayth did Isaac blesse Iacob and Esau concernyng thynges to come 21 By fayth Iacob when he was a dying blessed both the sonnes of Ioseph and worshypped towarde the toppe of his scepter 22 By fayth Ioseph when he dyed remembred the departyng of the chyldren of Israel and gaue commaundement of his bones 23 By fayth Moyses whē he was borne was hyd three monethes of his father and mother because they sawe he was a proper chylde neither feared they the kynges commaundement 24 By fayth Moyses when he was great refused to be called the sonne of Pharaos daughter 25 Chosyng rather to suffer aduersitie with the people of God then to enioye the pleasures of sinne for a season 26 Esteemyng the rebuke of Christ greater riches then the treasures of Egypt For he had respect vnto the recompence of the rewarde 27 By fayth he forsoke Egypt fearyng not the wrath of the kyng For he endured euen as though he had seene him which is inuisible 28 Through fayth he ordeyned the Passouer and the effusion of blood lest he that destroyed the first borne shoulde touche them 29 By fayth they passed through the redde sea as by drye lande which the Egyptians assaying to do were drowned 30 By fayth the walles of Iericho fell downe after they were compassed about seuen dayes 31 By fayth the harlot Rahab perished not with them that were disobedient when she had receaued the spyes with peace 32 And what shall I more say for the tyme woulde fayle me to rehearse of Gedeon of Barac and of Sampson and of Iephte of Dauid also and Samuel and of the prophetes 33 ☞ Which through faith subdued kingdomes wrought righteousnesse obteyned the promises stopped the mouthes of the Lions 34 Quenched the violence of fyre escaped the edge of the sworde out of weakenesse were made strong waxed valiant in fyght turned to flyght the armies of the aliantes 35 The women receaued their dead raysed to lyfe agayne Other were racked not lokyng for deliueraunce that they might receaue a better resurrectiō 36 And others were tryed with mockynges and scourgynges Yea moreouer with bondes and prisonment 37 They were stoned were hewen asunder were tempted were slaine with sword wandred about in sheepskinnes and goates skinnes beyng destitute afflicted and tormented 38 Of whō the worlde was not worthie They wandred in wildernesse and in mountaynes and in dennes and caues of the earth 39 And these all through fayth obteyned good report and receaued not the promise 40 God prouidyng a better thyng for
