AFTER this I loked, and behold, a doore was open in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it wer of a trompet, talking with me, whiche sayd; come up hither, and I will shew thee thinges whiche must be fulfilled hereafter. And immediately I was in the spirite: And behold, a seate was set in heaven, and one sate on the seate. And he that sate was to loke upon, lyke unto a Jasper stone, and a Sardine stone [=carnelian]. And there was a raynebowe about the seate, in sight lyke unto an Emerauld. And about the seate were xxiiii seates. And upon the seates xxiiii Elders sittyng, clothed in white raiment, and had on their heades crownes of golde.
    And out of the seate proceded lightninges, and thunderynges, and voyces, and there were vii lampes of fire, burning before the seate, whiche are the vii spirites of God. And beefore the seate there was a sea of glasse lyke unto Christall: and in the myddes [midst] of the seate, and rounde aboute the seate, were iiii beastes full of eyes, beefore and behynde. And the fyrste beaste was like a Lion; and the second beast like a calfe; and the thirde beaste hadde a face as a manne: and the fourthe beaste was lyke a flying Egle. And the iiii beastes had eche one of them syxe wynges aboute hym; and they were full of iyes within. And they had no rest day neyther night, saying; Holy, holy, holy, Lorde God almightie, whiche was, and is, and is to come. And when those beastes gave glory and honour, and thankes to hym that sate on the seate (whiche lyveth for ever and ever,) the xxiiii elders fell doune before hym that sate on the throne, and worshipped hym that lyveth for ever, and cast their crounes before the throne, saying; thou art worthy, O Lorde, (our God,) to receyve glory, and honor, and power, for thou hast created all thinges, and for thy wylles sake they are, and were created.
 

[Rev. 4:1-11]

THERE was a manne of the Phariseis, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jewes. The same came to Jesus by night, and sayd unto hym, Rabby [Rabbi], we knowe that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man could do suche miracles as thou doest, except God were with him. Jesus answered, and sayd unto him; Verely, verely, I saye unto thee; except a man be borne from above, he cannot see the kyngdom of god. Nicodemus sayd unto him; how can a man be borne when he is olde? can he entre into his mothers wombe, and be borne agayne? Jesus answered; verely, verely, I saye unto thee; excepte a man be borne of water, and of the spirite, he cannot entre into the kyngdome of God. That whiche is borne of the fleshe, is fleshe; and that whiche is borne of the spirit, is spirit. Marvayl not thou that I sayd thee, ye must bee borne from above. The wynde bloweth where it lusteth [=chooses], and thou hearest the sound therof, but canst not tel whence it commeth, and whither it goeth; So is every one that is borne of the spirite Nicodemus answered, and sayd unto him; how can these thinges be? Jesus answered, and sayd unto him; arte thou a maister in Israell, and knowest not these thinges? Verely, verely I say unto thee; we speake that we do know, and testifie that we have seen; and ye receyve not our wytnes. If I have tolde you yearthly thynges, and ye beleve not; howe shall ye beleve yf I tell you of heavenly thynges? And no man ascendeth up to heaven, but he that came doune from heaven, even the sonne of man whiche is in heaven. And as Moses lift up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Sonne of man be lift up, that whosoever beleveth in hym, perishe not, but have everlastyng lyfe.

[Psalm 119:1-8]

DEARELY beloved, let us love one another: for love commeth of God. And every one that loveth, is borne of God, and knoweth God. He that loveth not, knoweth not God; for God is love. In this appeared the love of God to us-ward, because that God sent his onely-begotten sonne into the worlde, that we might lyve through him. Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his sonne to be the agrement for our synnes.
    Dearely beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another. No man hath seen God at any tyme. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfect in us. Here by knowe we that we dwel in hym, and he in us, because he hath geven us of his spirite. And we have seen, and do testify, that the father sent the sonne to be the saviour of the worlde: whosoever confesseth that Jesus is the sonne of God, in hym dwelleth God, and he in God. And we have knowen and beleved the love that God hath to us.
    God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. Herein is the love perfect in us, that we should have trust in the day of judgement. For as he is, even so are we in this worlde. There is no feare in love, but perfecte love casteth out feare, for feare hath paynefulnes. He that feareth is not perfect in love. We love him, for he loved us first. If a man say; I love God, and yet hate his brother, he is a lyar. For. how can he that loveth not his brother, whom he hath seen, love God whom he hath not seen? And this commaundement have we of hym: that he whiche loveth God, should love his brother also.
 

[1 John 4:7-21]

THERE was a certaine riche man, whiche was clothed in purpl and fyne white, and fared deliciously every day: And there wa a certaine begger named Lazarus whiche lay at his gate full of sores, desyring to be refreshed with the crummes whiche fell from the riche mans borde, and no man gave unto him. The dogges came also and licked his sores. And it fortuned, that the begger dyed, and was caned by the Angels into Abrahams bosome. The riche man also dyed, and was buried. And beyng in hell in tormentes, he lifte up his eyes and sawe Abraham afar of, and Lazarus in his bosome, and he cryed and sayd; father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dippe the tippe of his finger in water, and coole my tongue, for I am tormented in this flame. But Abraham sayd; Sonne, remembre that thou in thy lyfetyme, receivedst thy pleasure; and contrarywise Lazarus received payne: But nowe he is comforted, and thou art punished. Beyonde all this, betwene us and you there is a great space set, so that they whiche would go from hence to you cannot: neyther may come from thence to us. Then he sayd; I pray the therefore father, sende hym to my fathers house, (for I have v [5] brethren,) for to warne them, leste they also come into this place of torment. Abraham sayd unto hym; they have Moses and the Prophetes, let them heare them. And he sayd, nay father Abraham; but if one come unto them from the deed, they will repent. He sayd unto him; If they heare not Moses and the Prophetes, neyther wyll they beleve, though one rose from death againe.

[Psalm 119:8-16]

MARVEIL not my brethren though the worlde hate you. We know that we are translated from death unto life, because we, love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother, abideth in death. Whosoever hateth his brother is a manslear [manslayer, or murderer]. And ye knowe that no manslear hath eternall lyfe abyding in him. Hereby perceyve we love, because he gave his lyfe for us: and we ought to geve our lyves for the brethren. But whoso hath this worldes good, and seeth his brother have nede, and shutteth up his compassion from him; howe dwelleth the love of God in hym? My babes let us not love in word, neyther in tongue; but in dede, and in veritie. Hereby we knowe that we are of the veritie, and can quiet our heartes before hym. For yf our heart condemne us, God is greater then our heart, and knoweth all thinges. Derely beloved, if oure heart condemne us not, then have we trust to god-warde: And whatsoever we aske we receyve of hym, because we kepe his commaundementes, and do those thinges whiche are pleasaunt in his sight. And this is his commaundement, That we beleve on the name of his sonne Jesus Christ, and love one another as he gave commaundement. And he that kepeth his commaundementes dwelleth in him, and he in hym: and hereby we knowe that he abydeth in us, even by the spirite whiche he hath geven us.

A CERTAINE man ordayned a great supper, and had many; and sent his servaunt at supper-tyme to say to them that were bydden, come; for all thinges are nowe ready. And they all at once began to make excuse. The first sayd unto him, I have bought a farme, and I must nedes go and see it; I pray thee have me excused. And another sayd, I have bought v. [5] yoke of Oxen, and I go to prove them; I pray thee have me excused, And another sayd, I have maried a wife, and therfore I cannot come. And the servaunt returned, and brought his maister worde againe therof. Then was the good man of the house displeased, and said to his servaunt; go out quickely into the stretes and quarters of the citie, and bring in hither the poore and the feble, and the halt and the blinde. And the servaunt sayd; Lord, it is done as thou hast commaunded, and yet there is roume. And the Lorde sayd to the servaunt; go out unto the hyewayes and hedges, and compell them to come in, that my house maye bee fylled. For I say unto you, that none of those men which were bydden, shall tast of my supper.

Be sober, and watche: for your adversary the devil as a roaryng Lyon, walketh about, sekyng whom he may devour: whom resist stedfast in the fayth, knowyng that the same affliccions are appointed unto your brethren that are in the worlde.

THEN resorted unto hym all the Publicans and synners for to heare hym. And the Phariseis and Scribes murmured, saying, He receyveth synners, and eateth with them. But he put furth this parable unto them, saying; what man among you havyng an hundreth shepe (if he lose one of them,) doth not leave nynty and nyne in the wyldernes, and goeth after that whiche is lost, untill he fynde it? And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders with joy. And as sone as he commeth home, he calleth together his lovers and neyghbours, saying unto theim; Rejoyce with me, for I have found my shepe whiche was lost. I say unto you, that lykewyse joy shalbe in heaven over one synner that repenteth, more than over nynty and nyne just persones whiche nede no repentaunce.

For we knowe that every creature groneth with us also, and travaileth in payne, even unto this tyme: not onely it, but we also whiche have the first-fruites of the spirite, mourne in ourselves also, and wayte for the adopcion, (of the children of God,) even the deliveraunce of our bodyes.

And he entred into one of the shippes, (whiche pertained to Symon,) and praied him, that he would thrust out a litle from the land. And he sat doune and taught the people out of the shyp. When he had lefte speakyng, he sayd unto Symon: lanche out into the deepe, and let slippe your nettes to make a draughte. And Symon answered, and sayde unto hym; Master, we have labored all nighte, and have taken nothyng. Nenertheles, at thy commaundement, I will loce furth the nette. And when they had this done, they inclosed a greate multitude of fishes. But their net brake, and they beckened to their felowes (whiche were in the other ship) that they shoulde come and helpe them. And they came, and fylled bothe the shippes, that they soncke againe.
