O LORDE, thou
hast delt graciously with thy servaunt : accordyng unto thy worde.
O learne me true understanding and knowlege : For
I have beleved thy commaundementes.
Before I was troubled I went wrong : but nowe I have
kept thy worde.
Thou art good and gracious : O teache me thy statutes.
The proude have imagined a lye againste me : but
I wyll kepe thy commaundementes with my whole heart.
Their heart is as fat as braune [brawn]
: but my delite hath been in thy lawe.
It is good for me that I have been in trouble : That
I may learne thy statutes.
The lawe of thy mouth is derer unto me : then thousandes
of golde and silver.
Glory be to the father, and to the sonne : and to
the holye gost.
As it was in the beginning, is nowe, and ever shalbe

The Epistle. 1 Cor. x.
BRETHREN, I would
not that ye should be ignoraunt, how that our fathers were all under
the cloude, and al passed through the sea, and were al baptised under
Moses in the cloude, and in the sea, and did all eate of one spirituall
meate, and did all drinke of one spirituall drinke. And they dranke
of the spiritual rocke that folowed them, whiche Rocke was Christe.
But in many of them hadde God no delight. For they were overthrowen
in the wildernesse. These are ensamples [examples] to us, that we should
not lust after evil thinges, as they lusted. And that ye should not
be worshippers of ymages, as were some of them according as it is written.
The people sate downe to eate, and drynke, and rose up to playe. Neither
let us be defiled with fornicacion, as some of them were defiled with
fornicacion, and fell in one daye thre and twentie thousand. Neither
let us tempt Christe, as some of them tempted, and were destroyed of
serpentes. Neither murmure ye, as some of them murmured, and were destroyed
of the destroyer. All these thynges happened unto them for ensamples:
But are written to put us in remembraunce, whom the endes of the world
are come upon. Wherfore, let him that thinketh he standeth, take hede
leste he fall. There hath none other temptacion taken you, but suche
as foloweth the nature of manne. But God is faithful, whiche shall not
suffer you to bee tempted above youre strength: but shal in the middes
[midst]
of the temptacion make a waye, that ye may be able to beare it.

The Gospel. Luke xvi.
JESUS sayd unto
his disciples; There was a certaine riche man, which had a Steward,
and the same was accused unto him, that he had wasted his goodes. And
he called him, and sayed unto him; howe is it that I heare this of thee?
Geve accomptes of thy stewardship, for thou maiest be no longer Steward.
The Steward sayd within himself e: what shal I do? For my Maister taketh
away from me the Stewardshippe. I cannot digge, and to begge I am ashamed.
I wote [=know]
what to doe, that when I am put out of the Stewardshippe, they may receyve
me into their houses.
So when he had called all his Masters debters together,
he sayd unto the first; how much owest thou unto my Master? And he sayd;
an hundred tunnes of oyle. And he sayed unto hym; take thy Bill, and
sitte downe quickly, and write fiftie. Then sayd he to another; how
muche owest thou? And he sayed; an hundred quarters of wheate. He sayed
unto hym; take thy bill, and write foureskore. And the Lord commended
the unjust Steward, because he had done wysely. For the children of
this worlde are in their nacion, wiser than the children of light. And
I saye unto you; Make you frendes of the unrighteous Mammon, that when
ye shall have nede, they may receyve you into everlastyng Habitacions. |

The Epistle. 1 Cor. xii.
CONCERNING spiritual
thinges (brethren) I would not have you ignoraunte. Ye knowe that ye
were Gentiles, and wente youre wayes unto dumme ymages, even as ye were
ledde. Wherfore I declare unto you, that no manne, speakyng by the spirite
of God, defyeth Jesus. Also no manne canne saye that Jesus is the Lorde,
but by the holy gost. There are diversities of gyftes, yet but one spirite.
And there are differences of administracions, and yet but one Lorde.
And there diverse maners of operacions, and yet but one God, whiche
worketh all in all.
The gift of the spirite is geven to every man to
edifie withall. For to one is geven through the spirite, the utteraunce
of wise-dome: to another is geven the utteraunce of knowlege, by the
same spirite. To another is geven faith, by the same spirite.
To another the gift of healyng, by the same spirite.
To another, power to do miracles. To another prophecie. To another judgemente
to discerne spirites. To another diverse tongues. To another the interpretacion
of tongues: But these al worketh even the selfe same spirite, devydyng
to every manne a severall gifte, even as he will.

belong unto thy peace, even in this thy daye, thou wouldest take hede.
But nowe are they hid from thine iyes. For the dayes shall come upon
thee, that thy enemies also shall cast a banke [=wall] aboute thee, and compasse
thee rounde, and kepe thee in on every syde, and make thee even with
the ground, and thy children whiche are in thee. And they shall not
leave in thee one stone upon another, because thou knowest not the time
of thy visitacion. And he went into the Temple, and began to cast out
them that solde them, and them that bought, saying unto them; It is

of theves. And he taught dayly in the Temple. |

to the scriptures; And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the xii.
After that was he seen of moe [more]
than fyve hundreth brethren at once, of whiche many remaine unto this
daye, and many are fallen aslepe.
After that appeared he to James, then to all the
Apostles. And last of al he was seen of me, as of one that was borne
out of due time. For I am the least of the Apostles, whiche am not worthy
to bee called an Apostle, because I have persecuted the congregacion
of God. But by the grace of God, I am that I am. And his grace whiche
is in me; was not in vaine. But I labored more aboundantly then they
all, yet not I, but the grace of God, whiche is with me. Therfore, whether
it wer I or they, so we preached, and so ye have beleved.

God, I thanke thee, that I am not as other men are, extorcioners, unjust,

saying; God be mercifull to me a sinner. I tell you, this man departed

letters figured in stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel
could not behold the face of Moses, for the glory of his countenaunce;

string of his tounge was looced, and he spake plaine. And he commaunded
them that they should tel no man. But the more he forbad them, so muche
the more a great deale they published, saying; He hath done all thynges

The Epistle. Gal. iii.
TO Abraham and
his sede were the promises made. He sayeth not in the sedes, as manye;
but in thy sede, as of one, which is Christ. This I say, that the lawe
whyche began afterward, beyonde iiii. c. and xxx. [430] yeres, doth not disanul [disannul, =abolish] the testament
that was confirmed afore of God unto Christ-warde, to make the promise
of none effect. For if the inheritaunce come of the lawe, it commeth
not nowe of promise. But God gave it to Abraham. by promyse. Wherfore
then serveth the lawe? The lawe was added because of transgression,
(till the sede came, to whome the promise was made,) and it was ordained
by Angels in the hande of a mediator. A mediator is not a mediator of
one; But God is one. Is the lawe then against the promise of God? God
forbid. For if there had been a lawe geven whiche could have geven lyfe;
then no doubte righteousnes should have come by the lawe. But the scripture
concludeth all thinges under synne, that the promise, by the faythe
of Jesus Christe, should be geven unto them that beleve.

And beholde, a certaine lawyer stode up, and tempted

and with all thy strength and with all thy mynde: and thy neighbour
as thyselfe. And he sayed unto hym; Thou haste answered right. This
do, and thou shalt live: but he willyng to justifie hymselfe, sayed
unto Jesus; And who is my neighbor: Jesus answered and sayd. A certaine
man descended from Jerusalem to Hierico [Jericho],

him, and departed, leavyng him halfe dead. And it chaunsed that there
came downe a certayne prieste that same waye, and when he sawe him,

and loked on hym, and passed by. But a certaine Samaritane as he jorneyed,

to, and bounde up his woundes, and powred in oyle and wyne, and set
hym on his owne beast, and brought hym to a common inne, and made provision
for hym. And on the morowe, when he departed, he tooke out two pence,
and gave them to the hoste, and sayd unto hym; Take cure of hym, and
whatsoeuer thou spendest more, when I come agayne, I wyll recompence
thee. Which nowe of these thre thinkest thou was neighbour unto hym

what ye shall eate or dryncke: nor yet for your body, what raymente
ye shall put on. Is not the life more worthe than meate? and the body
more of value than rayment? Beholde the foules of the ayre, for they
sowe not, neither do they reape, nor cary into the barnes; and your
heavenly father fedeth them. Are ye not muche better than they? Whiche
of you (by takyng carefull thought) can adde one cubite unto his stature?
And why care ye for rayment: Consider the Lylies of the fielde how they
growe. They laboure not; neither do they spynne. And yet I saye unto
you, that even Salamon in al his royaltie, was not clothed like one
of these. Wherfore, if god so clothe the grasse of the fielde (whiche
though it stand to-day, is to-morrow caste into the fornace;) shall
he not muche more do the same for you, O ye of litle fayth? Therfore,
take no thought, saying; what shall we eate, or what shal we drinke,
or wherwith shall we be clothed? after all these thynges do the Gentyles
seke. For youre heavenlye father knoweth that ye have nede of all these
thynges. But rather seeke ye first the kyngdome of god, and the righteousnes
thereof, and all these thynges shalbe ministred unto you. Care not then
for the morow, for the morow day shal care for itselfe: sufficient unto
