Cantate Domino. Psalm xcvi.

O SYNG unto the Lorde a newe song : sing unto the Lorde all the whole yearth.
    Syng unto the Lorde, and prayse his name : be tellyng of his salvacion from daye to daye.
    Declare his honour unto the heathen : and his wonders unto all people.
    For the Lord is great, and cannot worthely he praised : he is more to bee feared than all Goddes.
    As for all the Goddes of the heathen, they bee but ydolles; but it is the Lorde that made the heavens.
    Glory and woorshyp are before hym : power and honoure are in his Sanctuarie.
    Ascribe unto the Lord, (O ye kinredes of the people) ascribe unto the Lorde woorship and power.
    Ascribe unto the Lord the honour due unto his Name : brynge presentes, and come into his courtes.
    O worshyp the Lorde in the beautie of holynes : let the whole earth stande in awe of hym.
    Tell it out amonge the heathen that the Lord is Kinge : and that it is he whiche hathe made the rounde worlde so fast that it cannot be moved; and howe that he shall judge the people righteouslye.
    Let the heavens rejoyse, and let the yearth be glad : let the sea make a noyse, and all that therein is.
    Let the felde be joyful and al that is in it : then shal all the trees of the wood reioyce before the Lorde.
    For he commeth, for he commeth to judge the yearth : and with rightuousnes to judge the world, and the people with his trueth.
    Glory be to the Father, &c.
    As it was in the beginning, &c.

[Luke 3:21-38]; 1549 only

FOR thys cause I Paule am a priesoner of Jesus Christe for you heathen; yf ye have heard of the ministracion of the grace of God, which is geven me to you-ward. For by revelacyon shewed he the misterie unto me, as I wrote afore in a few woordes, wherby when ye reade, ye maye understande my knowledge in the misterye of Christe; which misterie in times passed was not opened unto the sonnes of men, as it is nowe declared unto his holy apostles and prophetes by the spirite: that the Gentiles should be inheritors also, and of the same bodye, and partakers of his promise in Christ, by the meanes of the Gospel, whereof I am made a minister, accordyng to the gifte of the grace of god which is geven unto me after the workyng of his power. Unto me the leaste of all saintes is this grace geven, that I shoulde preache amonge the Gentiles the unsearcheable riches of Christe, and to make all men see what the felowship of the misterie is, whiche from the beginnyng of the worlde, hath bene hyd in God whiche made al thinges through Jesus Christe: to thentente, that nowe unto the rulers and powers in heavenly thinges, might be knowen, by the congregacion the manifolde wisedome of God accordyng to the eternall purpose which he wrought in Christ Jesu our lord: by whom wee have boldenesse and entraunce with the confidence which is by the faith of him.
 

[Ephesians 3:1-12]

WHEN Jesus was borne in Bethleem a city of Jury [Jewry, i. e., Judea], in the tyme of Herode the kyng: Behold there came wise men from the East to Jerusalem, salyng: where is he that is borne king of Jewes? For we have sene his starre in the East, and are come to worship him. When Herode the kyng had heard these thynges, he was troubled, and all the citie of Jerusalem with him. And when he had gathered al the chief priestes and scribes of the people together, he demaunded of them, where Christe shoulde be borne. And they said unto him, At Bethleem in Jurie. For thus it is written by the prophete; And thou, Bethleem, in the land of Jury, art not the least among the princes of Juda: for oute of thee there shall come unto me the capitain that shal governe my people Israel. Then Herode (when he had prievely called the wise men) he inquired of them diligentlye what time the starre appeared, and he bad them go to Bethleem, and said go your waie thither, and serche diligentelye for the childe. And when ye have found him, bring me woord again, that I maie come and worship him also. When they had heard the king, they departed; and loe, the starre whiche thei sawe in the Easte, wente beefore them, tyll it came and stoode over the place where the child was. When thei saw the starre thei were exceadyng glad, and wente into the house, and founde the child with Marie his mother, and fel downe flat and woorshipped him, and opened their treasures and offred unto hym gyftes: Golde, Frankinsence, and Mirre. And after they were warned of God in slepe, (that they shoulde not go again to Herode,) they returned into their owne countrey another waie.

HOW long wilt thou forget me, O Lord, for ever? howe long wilt thou hide thy face from me?
    How long shall I seke counsayle in my soule, and be so vexed in my heart : how long shal mine enemie triumph over me?

LORDE we beseche the mercyfullye to receive the praiers of thy people which cal upon thee; and graunt that they maie both perceave and knowe what thinges they ought to do, and also have grace and power faithfully to fulfill the same [through Jesus Christ our lord]*.
 

I BESECHE you therfore brethren, by the mercyfulnesse of God, that ye make youre bodies a quicke sacrifice, holy, and acceptable unto God, which is your resonable servyng of god, and fashion not yourselfes like unto this world; but be ye chaunged in your shape by the renuing of your minde, that ye maie prove what thing that good, and acceptable, and perfect wil of god is. For I saye (throughe the grace that unto me geven is) to everye man amonge you, that no man stand hygh in his owne conceite, more than it becommeth him to esteme of himself; but so judge of hymselfe, that he be gentle and sobre, accordyng as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith: for as we have many membres in one body, and all membres have not one office; so we being many, are one body in Christ, and every man among ourselves, one anothers members.
 

[Romans 12:1-5]

THE father and mother of Jesus wente to Hierusalem after the custome of the feast day. And when they had fulfilled the dayes; as they returned home, the child Jesus abode stil in Jerusalem, and his father and mother knewe not of it: but they supposyng hym to have beene in the cumpanye, came a dayes joumey, and sought him among their kinsfolke and acquaintaunce. And when they found him not, they went backe agayn to Jerusalem, and soughte him. And it fortuned that after three dayes, they founde him in the temple sitting in the middest of the doctours [=teachers, rabbis], hearyng them, and posing [questioning] them. And all that heard him were astonied [astonished] at his understanding and answers.
    And when they saw him, they merveiled, and his mother sayd unto hym; Sonne why haste thou thus dealte with us? Beholde, thy father and I have sought thee sorowing. And he said unto them: how happened it that ye sought me? wist [=know] ye not that I must go about my fathers busines? And they understode not that saying, which he spake unto them. And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was obedient unto them: but his mother kept all these sayinges together in her heart. And Jesus prospered in wisdom and age and in favour with god and men.

SEEYNG that we have dyverse gyftes, according to the grace that is geven unto us; if any man have ye gift of prophecy, let him have it, that it be agreeing to the fayth. Let him that hath an office waite on his office. Let him that teacheth, take hede to hys doctryne. Let hym that exhorteth, geve attendaunce to hys exhortacion. If any man geve, let him do it with singlenes. Let him that ruleth, doe it with diligence. If any man shew mercy, let him doe it with cherefulnes. Let love be without dissimulacion. Hate that which is evil, and cleave unto yt whiche is good. Be kynde one to another with brotherly love. In geving honor goe one before another. Be not slothful in the busines which ye have in hand. Be fervent in the spirite. Apply yourselves to the time. Rejoyce in hope; bee pacient in tribulacion. Continue in praier, distribute unto the necessitie of the saintes. Be ready to harbour [=show hospitality]. Blesse them which persecute you; blesse, I say, and curse not. Be mery with them that are merie; wepe also with them that wepe: be of like afleccion one towardes another. Bee not hie minded, but make youreselves equall to them of the lower sorte.
 

[Rom. 12:6-16]

AND the third daye was there a mariage in Cana, a citie of Galyle, and the mother of Jesus was there. And Jesus was called (and hys disciples) unto the mariage. And when the wine fayled, the mother of Jesus sayde unto hym: they have no wine. Jesus said unto her, woman, what have I to do with the? mine houre is not yet come. his mother said unto the ministers; whatsoever he saieth unto you, do it. And there were standing there vi [6] waterpottes of stone, after the maner of the purifiyng of the Jewes, conteining ii or iii fyrkyns apeece. Jesus saide unto them: fil the waterpottes with water. And thei filled them up to the brimme. And he saide unto them: draw out now, and beare unto the Governour [=steward] of the feast. And they bare it. When the ruler [=steward] of the feast had tasted the water that was turned into wine, and knew not whence it was, (but the ministers, which drewe the water, knewe) he called the bridegrome, and said unto him; Everie man at the beginning doth set forth good wine, and when men be dronke, then that whiche is woorse, but thou hast kepte the good wine until now. This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galile, and shewed hys glorye, and his dysciples beleved on him.

[Romans 12:16-21]

WHEN he was come downe from the mountaine, muche people folowed him. And beholde, there came a Lepre and worshypped hym, saiyng, Maister, if thou wilte thou canst make me cleane. And Jesus putte foorth his hande, and touched hym, saying; I wil, bee thou cleane. And immediatelye hys Leprosye was cleansed. And Jesus saide unto hym, [see thou]* tell no manne, but goe and shew thyselfe to the priest, and offer the gift (that Moses commaunded to bee offered) for a witnesse unto them.
    And when Jesus was entred into Capernaum, there came unto him a Centurion, and besought him, saying: Maister, my servaunt lyeth at home sicke of the palsey, and is grevously pained. And Jesus said, when I come unto him, I wil heale him. The Centurion aunswered, and said: Sir I am not woorthie that thou shouldeste come under my roofe; but speake the woorde onely, and my servaunt shalbe healed. For I also [my selfe]* am a man subject to the autoritie of another, and have souldiers under me: and I say to this man, goe, and he goeth; and to another man, come, and he cummeth; and to my servaunt, doe thys, and he doeth it. When Jesus heard these wordes, he merveiled, and saide to them that folowed him: verely I say unto you, I have not founde so great faith in Israel. I saye unto you, that many shal come from the East, and West, and shall reste with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kyngdome of heaven. But the children of the kyngdome shalbe caste out into utter darkenes, there shalbe weping and gnashing of teeth. And Jesus sayde unto the Centurion: Goe thy way, and as thou belevest so be it unto thee: and his servaunt was healed in the selfesame houre.

LET every soule submit hymselfe unto the auctoritie of the higher powers; for there is no power but of God. The powers that be are ordeined of God, whosoever therefore resysteth power, resisteth the ordinaunce of God: But they that resist, shall receive to themselves damnacion.
    For rulers are not feareful to them that do good, but to them that do evil. Wilt thou be without feare of the power? do well then, and so shalt thou be praysed of the same: for he is the minister of God for thy wealth. But and yf thou do that which is evill, then feare, for he beareth not the swerde for naught: for he is the minister of God to take vengeaunce on hym that doth evill. Wherfore, ye must nedes obey, not onely for feare of vengeaunce, but also because of conscience: and even for this cause paye ye tribute; for they are Goddes ministers servyng for the same purpose. Geve to every man therefore his duetie; tribute, to whom tribute belongeth: custome, to whom custome is due: feare, to whom feare belongeth: honor to whom honor pertaineth.
 

[Romans 13:1-7]

AND when he entred into a ship, his disciples folowed him. And behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch that the ship was covered with waves, but he was aslepe. And his disciples came to him, and awoke hym, saying, Maister, save us, we perishe. And he sayeth unto them: Why are ye fearfull O ye of litle fayth? Then he arose, and rebuked the wynde and the sea, and there folowed a great calme. But the men mervailed, saying, What maner of man is this, that both wynde and sea obey him? And when he was come to the other syd into the countrey of the Gergesites [Gadarenes], there met hym ii possesse of devils, whiche came out of the graves, and were out of measure fierce, so that no man might go by that way. And beholde, they cryed out, saying, O Jesu, thou sonne of God, what have we to do with thee? Art thou come hither to torment us before the tyme? And there was a good way of from them a heerd of many Swine, feding. So the devils besought him, saying, I thou cast us out, suffre us to goe into the heerde of Swine. And he sayd unto them go your wayes. Then went they out and departed into the heerde of Swyne. And behold, the whole heerde of swyne was caryed hedlong into the sea, and perished in the waters. Then they that kept them, fled, and went theyr wayes into the citie, and tolde every thing, and what had happened unto the possessed of the devils. And behold, the whole citie came out to mete Jesus : and when they sawe him, they besought him that he would depart out of theyr coastes.

[1 Cor. 9:24-27]

THE kyngdome of heaven is like unto a manne that is an housholder, whiche went out early in the mornyng to hyre laborers into his vyneyarde. And when the agrement was made with the laborers for a peny a day, he sent them into his vyneyarde. And he went out about the third houre and sawe other standyng idle in the marketplace, and sayd unto them: Go ye also into the vyneyarde, and whatsoever is right I will geve you. And they went theyr way. Againe he went out about the vi. and ix. houre, and did lykewise. And about the xi. houre he went out, and founde other standyng idle, and sayd unto them; why stande ye here all the day idle? They sayd unto hym ; because no man hath hyred us. He sayeth unto them, Go ye also into the vineyarde, and whatsoever is right, that shall ye receyve.
    So, when even [evening] was come, the lorde of the vyneyarde sayd unto his steward: call the laborers and geve them their hyre, beginnyng at the last untill the first. And when they did come that came about the xi. houre, they received every man a penny: But when the first came also, they supposed that they should have receyved more, and they lykewyse receyved every man a penny. And when they had receyved it, they murmured against the good-man of the house, saying: these last have wrought [worked] but one houre, and thou hast made them equall with us, whiche have borne the burthen and heate of the day. But he answered unto one of them, and sayd: Frende, I do thee no wrong, diddest thou not agree with me for a penny? Take that thyne is, and go thy way; I wyll geve unto this last, even as unto thee. Is it not lawfull for me to do as me lusteth ["listeth" in Great Bible & Tyndale, =desire] with myne owne goodes? Is thyne eye evill because I am good?, So the last shalbe first, and the first shalbe last. For many. be called, and fewe chosen.

They are Israelytes, even so am I. They are the seede of Abraham, even so am I. They are the ministers of Christ, (I speake as a foole) I am more: In labours more aboundaunt: In stripes above measure: In prison more plenteously: In death ofte: Of the Jewes five tymes received I xl. stripes save one: Thrise was I beaten with roddes: I was once stoned. I suffered thrise shipwracke. Night and day have I been in the depe sea. In jorneying often; in parels [perils] of waters, in parels of robbers; in jeopardyes of myne owne nacion; in jeopardyes among the heathen; in parels in the citie; in parels in wyldernes; in parels in the sea; in parels among false brethren; in labour and travayle; in watchynges often; in hunger and thirst; in fastynges often; in colde and in nakednes; besyde the thynges whiche outwardly happen unto me.

[2 Cor. 11:19-31]

WHEN muche people were gathered together, and were come to hym out of all cities, he spake by a similitude [=parable]: The sower went out to sowe his seede: and as he sowed, some fell by the way-syde, and it was troden doune, and the foules of the ayre devoured it up. And some fell on stones, and as sone as it was sprong up, it withered awaye, because it lacked moystnes. And some fell among thornes, and the thornes sprang up with it and choked it. And some fell on good ground, and sprong up, and bare fruite an hundreth-folde. And as he sayd these thinges, he cryed; he that hath eares to heare, let him heare. And his disciples asked hym, saying, what maner of similitude is this? And he sayd; unto you it is geven to know the kyngdome of God, but to other by parables; that when they see, they should not see, and when they heare they should not understande. The parable is this: The seede is the worde of God: those that are beside the way, are they that heare: then commeth the devil and taketh the worde out of their hartes, leste they should beleve, and be saved. They on the stones, are they whiche when they heare, receive the woorde with joye; and these have no rotes [roots], whiche for a while beleve, and in tyme of temptacion go away. And that whiche fell among thornes, are they whiche when they have heard, go furth, and are choked with cares, and riches, and voluptuous lyving, and bryng furth no fruite. That whiche fell in the good grounde, are they whiche with a pure and good heart, heare the woorde and kepe it, and bryng furth fruite through pacience.

O LORDE whiche doeste teache us that all our doynges withoute charitie are nothyng woorthe; sende thy holy ghost, and powre into our heartes that most excellent gyft of charitie, the very bond of peace and al vertues, without the whiche whosoever liveth is counted dead before thee: Graunte this for thy onlye sonne, Jesus Christes sake.
 

THOUGH I speake with the tongues of men and of angels, and have no love, I am even as sounding brasse, or as a tynklyng Cimbal. And thoughe I could prophecy, and understande all secretes, and all knowlege; yea, if I have al faith, so that I coulde move mountaines out of their places, and yet have no love, I am nothyng. And thoughe I bestowe all my goodes to fede the poore, and thoughe I gave my bodye even that I burned, and yet have no love, it profyteth me nothyng. Love suffreth longe, and is curteous; love envieth not; love dothe not frowardely, swelleth not, dealeth not dishonestly, seketh not her owne, is not provoked to anger, thynkethe none evyll, rejoyseth not in iniquitie. But rejoyseth in the trueth, suffreth all thynges, beleveth all thynges, hopeth all thynges, endureth all thyengs.
    Thoughe that propheciyng fayle, either tongues cease, or knowlege vanishe awaye, yet love falleth never awaye. For our knowlege is unperfecte, and our prophecying is unperfecte: But when that, which is perfect, is come, then that whiche is unperfect shalbee done awaye. When I was a childe I spake as a chylde; I understode as a childe, I imagined as a chylde. But as sone as I was a man, I put away childishnes. Nowe we see in a glasse, even in a darke speakyng; but then shall wee see face to face. Nowe I knowe unperfectely, but then shall I know even as I am knowen. Nowe abideth fayth, hope, and love: even these thre; but the chiefe of these is love.

For he shalbe delivered unto the gentyles, and shalbe mocked and despitefully intreated, and spitted on. And when they have scourged him, they will. put hym to death, and the third day he shall ryse again. And they understode none of these thinges. And this saying was hyd from them, so that they perceyved not the thynges whiche were spoken. And it came to passe, that as he was come nigh unto Hierico [Jericho], a certain blind man sate by the hyewayside beggyng. And when he heard the people passe by, he asked what it meant. And they sayd unto him, that Jesus of Nazareth passed by. And he cried, saying: Jesu thou sonne of David have mercy on me. And they whiche went before rebuked hym, that he shoulde hold his peace. But he cryed so muche the more, thou sonne of David have mercy on me. And Jesus stoode styll, and commaunded him to he brought unto hym. And when he was come nere, he asked hym, saying, what wilt thou that I do unto the and he sayd, Lord, that I may receyve my sight. And Jesus sayd unto him, receive thy syght, thy faith hath saved thee. And immediatly, he receyved his syght, and folowed hym, praysing God. And all the people, when they saw it, gave praise unto God.
