hath brought me in to possesse this lande but for the wickednesse of these nations the Lord hath cast them out before thee 5 It is not for thy righteousnesse sake or for thy right heart that thou goest to possesse their lande But for the wickednesse of these nations the Lord thy God doth cast them out before thee euē to perfourme the worde whiche the Lord thy God sware vnto thy fathers Abraham Isahac and Iacob 6 Vnderstand therfore that it is not for thy righteousnes sake that the Lorde thy God doth geue thee this good lande to possesse it seyng thou art a stifnecked people 7 Remember forget not howe thou prouokedst the Lorde thy God in the wildernesse since the day that thou diddest depart out of the lande of Egypt vntyll ye came vnto this place ye haue rebelled agaynst the Lorde 8 Also in Horeb ye prouoked the Lord to anger so that the Lorde was wroth with you euen to haue destroyed you 9 When I was gone vp into the mount to receaue the tables of stone the tables of the couenaunt which the Lord made with you and I abode in the mount fourtie dayes fourtie nightes whē I neither did eate bread nor drinke water 10 And the Lorde deliuered me two tables of stone written with the finger of God and in them was contayned all the wordes whiche the Lorde saide vnto you in the mount out of y e middes of fire in the day when ye came together 11 And when the fourtie dayes and fourtie nightes were ended the Lorde gaue me the two tables of stone the tables of the couenaunt 12 And the Lord sayde vnto me Arise and get thee downe quickly from hence for thy people which thou hast brought out of Egypt haue marred all They are turned at once out of the waye which I commaunded them and haue made them a moulten image 13 Furthermore the Lorde spake vnto me saying I haue seene this people and beholde it is a stifnecked people 14 Let me alone that I may destroy them put out the name of them from vnder heauen and I wyll make of thee a mightie nation greater then they be 15 And I turned me and came downe from the hyll euen from the hyll that burnt with fire and the two tables of the couenaunt were in my handes 16 And I loked and beholde ye had sinned against the Lorde your God and had made you a moulten calfe and had turned at once out of the way whiche the Lorde had commaunded you 17 And I toke the two tables and cast them out of my two handes and brake them before your eyes 18 And I fell downe flat before the Lord euen as at the first time fourtie dayes and fourtie nightes I did neither eate bread nor drinke water because of all your sinnes which ye sinned in doyng wyckedly in the sight of the Lorde in that ye prouoked hym vnto wrath 19 For I was afrayde that for the wrath and fiercenes wherwith the Lord was moued agaynst you he would haue destroyed you But the Lorde heard me at that tyme also 20 The Lorde was very angry with Aaron also euen to haue destroyed hym and I made intercession for Aaron also the same tyme. 21 And I toke your sinne the calfe which ye had made and burnt hym with fire and stamped hym and grounde hym very small euen to dust and I cast the dust therof into the brooke that descended out of the mount 22 Also at the burnyng place at the place of temptyng and at the sepulchres of lust ye prouoked the Lorde to anger 23 Likewise when the Lorde sent you from Cades Barnea saying go vp and possesse the lande which I haue geuen you you rebelled against the worde of the Lorde your God and neither beleued him nor hearkened vnto his voyce 24 You haue ben rebellious vnto the Lorde since the day that I knewe you 25 And I fell downe flat before the Lorde fourtie dayes fourtie nightes as I fell downe before for the Lorde sayde he woulde destroy you 26 I made intercession therfore vnto the Lord and sayd O Lord God destroy not thy people and thyne inheritaunce whiche thou hast deliuered through thy great goodnesse and whiche thou hast brought out of Egypt thorowe a myghtie hande 27 Remember thy seruauntes Abraham Asahac and Iacob and looke not vnto the stubbernesse of this people nor to their wickednesse and sinne 28 Lest the lande whence thou broughtest them say The Lorde is not able to bryng them into the land which he promised them and because he hated them therefore hath he caryed them out to slay them in the wyldernesse 29 Beholde they are thy people thyne inheritaunce whiche thou broughtest out in thy myghtie power and in thy stretched out arme The .x Chapter 5 The seconde tables put in the arke 8 The tribe of Leui is dedicate to the seruice of the tabernacle 12 What the Lorde requireth of his 16 The circumcision of the heart 17 God regardeth not the person 21 The Lorde is the prayse of Israel 1 IN the same season the Lorde sayde vnto me hewe thee two tables of stone lyke vnto the first and come vp vnto me into the mount and make thee an arke of wood 2 And I wyll wryte in the tables the wordes that were in the first tables whiche thou brakest and thou shalt put them in the arke 3 And I made an arke of Sittim wood and hewed two tables of stone lyke vnto the first and went vp into the mountayne hauyng the two tables in myne hande 4 And he wrote in the tables according to the first wrytyng the ten commaundementes whiche the Lord spake vnto you in the mount out of the myddes of the fire in the day when you were gathered together and the Lorde gaue them vnto me 5 And I departed and came downe from the hyll and put the tables in the arke whiche I had made and there they be as the Lorde commaunded me 6 And the chyldren of Israel toke their iourney from Beroth of the chyldren of Iakan to Mosera where Aaron dyed and was buryed and Eleazer his sonne became priest in his steade 7 From thence they departed vnto Gudgodah and from Gudgodah to Iethebath a lande whiche hath riuers of waters 8 The same season the Lorde seperated the tribe of Leui to beare the arke of the couenaunt of the Lorde and to stande before the Lorde and to minister vnto hym and to blesse in his name vnto this day 9 Wherefore the Leuites haue no part nor inheritaunce with their brethren but the Lorde is their inheritaunce as the Lorde thy God hath promised them 10 And I taryed in the mount euen as at the first time fourtie dayes and fourtie nyghtes and the Lorde hearde me at that tyme also and the Lorde

The argument of the .cvii. psalme ¶ The prophete exhorteth all men to prayse God and to thanke God for it is he that helpeth them in all distresses when they crye vnto him He prouideth houses and cities for them that els would wander as vagabondes in wyldernesse He satisfieth the hungry and the thirstie He setteth at libertie prisoners and captiues He healeth the sicke and diseased He comforteth and helpeth those that be in ieoperdie of seas He maketh a fruitfull lande barren a barren grounde fruitfull He bringeth princes to lowe estate setteth vp the poore in honour At these things the godly reioyseth the mouth of the wicked is stopped 1 COnfesse you it vnto God for he is gratious and his mercy endureth for euer 2 Let such as God did redeme speake whom he hath redeemed from the hande of the enemie 3 And whom he gathered out of the landes from the east and from the west from the north and from the south 4 They went astray out of the way in solitarines â—andâ— in wildernes and found no citie to dwell in they were hungry and thirstie their soule fainted in them 5 And they cry vnto god in their trouble who deliuereth them froÌ„ their distresse 6 And he leadeth them foorth by the right way that they might go to the citie inhabited 7 O that men would confesse vnto God his louyng kindnesse and his marueylous actes done to the chyldren of men 8 For he satisfieth the greedie soule and filleth the hungry soule with goodnes 9 Suche as fit in darknesse and in the shadowe of death beyng fast bounde in miserie and iron 10 Because they went from the wordes of the Lorde and lightly regarded the counsayle of the most highest 11 Therfore he humbled their heart thorowe heauines they fall downe and there is none to helpe them 12 And they cry vnto god in their trouble who deliuereth theÌ„ out of their distresse 13 For he bringeth them out of darknesse and out of the shadowe of death and breaketh their bondes in sunder 14 O that men would confesse vnto God his louing kindnes and his marueylous actes done to the chyldren of men 15 For he breaketh the gates of brasse smyteth the barres of iron in sunder 16 Foolish men are plagued for their mischeuous wayes for their wickednes 17 Their soule abhorreth all maner of meate and they be euen harde at deathes doore 18 And they crye vnto God in their trouble who deliuereth them
