The fyrst frydaye in Aduent / the Epistle.

1.Herken vnto me / ye that folowe ryghteousnes and seke the lorde. Looke vnto the rocke ye were cut oute / and to the caue and pit ye were digged oute. Look vn to Abraham youre father and vnto Sara that bare you: how I called him onlye / and blessed him and multiplied him. For the lorde hath compassion on Sion and hath compassion on all that is decayed therin / and will make hir wildernes as paradise / and hir deserte as the garden of the lorde. Ioye and gladnes shalbe founde therin / with thankesgeuynge and the voyce of prayse. Herken vnto me my people / & turne youre eares to me my folke. Ther shall a lawe go oute from me / and my iudgement will I stablishe to be a light vnto nacions. My ryghteousnes is nye / and my salvacyon


shall go oute / and myne armes shall iudge nacions / and ylondes shall loke for me & shall tarye after myne arme. Lyfte vp youre eyes to heauen and beholde the erth beneth. For heauen shall vanyshe awaye as smoke / and the erthe shall weare awaye as a vesture / and the inhabiters therof shall peryshe awaye after the same maner / but my salvacion shall endure euer / & my ryghteousnes shall not perishe. Herken vnto me ye that knowe righteousnes and so let the people that have my lawe in their hertes. Feare not the rebukes of man nether faynte for their blasphemyes. For wormes shall eate them as a garment / and mothes shall deuoure them as it were woll.

But my ryghteousnes shall contynew ever / and my saluacyon from generacion to generacion.

The wensdaye in the seconde weke of Adut The epistle.

Thus sayth the lorde: I will returne to Syon and will dwell in the myddle of 2. Ierusalem. And Ierusalem shalbe called the citie of trouth and the hill of the lorde Sabaoth and an holy hill. Thus sayth the lorde Sabaoth: yet there shall syt bothe olde men and olde wemen in the stretes of Ierusalem and men with staues in their handes for the multitude of dayes. And the stretes of the citie shalbe filled with boyes and wenches playenge in the stretes therof. Thus sayth the lorde zabaoth / though it seme harde in the eyes of the remmanat of this pepole / shall


it seme harde in myne eyes sayth the lorde zabaoth. Thus sayth the lorde zabaoth: beholde I will delyuer my people from the eest contre and from the lande of the goynge downe of the sonne / and wyll brynge them that they shall dwell in the myddes of Ierusalem. And they shalbe my people / and I wilbe their God in truthe and righteousnes.

This sayth the lorde: vpobar.gif the walles of Ierusalem / I have set kepers which shall never cease / 3. nether by daye ner yet by nyght. And ye that stere vp the remembraunce of the lorde / se that ye pause not / nether let him have rest vntill he have prepared and made Ierusalem gloryous in the erth The lorde hath sworne by his ryght honde and by his stronge arme / that he will not geue thy corne anye moare to be eaten of thyne enemyes: and that alyentes shall not drynke thy new wyne wherfore thou hast laboured. But they that made it shall eate it and shall praye the lorde: & they that gathered it / shall drynk it in the courte of my holye temple. Go from gate to gate / and prepare the waye for the people / cast vp gravayle and make the waye hye and clense it of stones / and set vp a baner for the people. Beholde the lorde will make it knowen vnto the endes of the worlde. And saye ye vnto the daughter of Sion: beholde he that is thy sauyoure cometh and his rewarde with him and his worke before him. And they shall be called a people of holynes redemed


of the lorde. And thou shalt be called an haunted citie and not forsaken.

There shall come a rodde oute of the stocke of Iesse / and a braunche shall sprynge oute of his rote. And on him shall lyght the spirite of the lorde: 4. the spirite of wysdome and of understondynge / the spirite of councell and of strength / the spirite of knowledge and of reuerence / and it shall make him sauer of the feare of the lorde. And he shall not iudge after the syght of his eyes: nether shall rebuke after the hearynge of his eares. But he shall iudge the causes of the poore [wt] ryghteousnes / & shall rebuke with equitie for þe vmble of þe erthe. And he shall smyte þe erth with the rodde of his mouth / & with þe breth of his lyppes shall sleye the wycked. And righteousnes shalbe the gyrdle of his loynes / and faythfullness the gyrdle of his raynes.

And moche people shall go and saye: come and let vs go vp to the hill of the lorde and vnto the house of the God of Iacob: that he maye teache vs his wayes / and that we maye


walke in his pathes. For oute of Sion shall come the lawe / and the worde of God oute of Ierusalem. And he shalbe iudge amonge the hethen and tell manye nacions their fautes. and they shall tourne their sweardes into mattockes and their speares into sythes. One nacion shall not lyfte vp a swearde agaynst another / nether shall they teache to warre anye moare. O house of Iacob come & let vs walke in the lyght of the lorde.

The wensdaye in the fourthe weke of aduent The Epistle.

This sayth the lorde. Children of Sion be glad and reioyse in the lorde youre 6. God. For he hath geuen you a teacher of righteousnes / and wyll make descende vnto you the fyrst rayne and the later / as at the beginnynge. And the barnes shalbe full of corne / and the wyne presses flowe with wyne & oyle. And I will restore you agayne with my great power which I haue sent vnto you / the yeres which the locustes and caterpillers haue deuoured. And ye shall eate & haue ynough and prayse the name of the lorde youre God / which hath wrought wonders with you. And my people shall not be in shame foreuer. And ye shall knowe that I am in the myddes of Israel / and that I am the lorde youre God / & that there is no moo. And my people shall not be in shame for euer. 7.And ye shall knowe þt I the lorde youre God / dwell in Syon my holye mounte. And Ierusalem shalbe holye / and there shall no straunger passe thorow there


anye more. And at that daye the mountaynes shall droppe swete wyne / and the hilles shall flowe with mylke / and all the brokes of Iuda shall runne with water. And a fountayne / shall go oute of the house of the lorde and water the ryuer of Sittim. Egipt shall goo to ruyne / and Edom shalbe a desert and a wyldernes / which oppressed the chyldren of Israel / and which sheed ynnocent bloude in their lande. And Iuda shall contynew euer / and Ierusalem from generacion to generacion. And I will clense their bloude which I haue not clensed. And the Lorde shall dwell in Sion.

And now therfore sayth the lorde. Turne to me with all youre hartes / 12. in fastinge and lamentacyobar.gif. And teare youre hartes and not youre garmentes / and turne vnto the lorde youre God. For he is full of mercie and compassion / longe yer he be angrye / and great in mercie and repenteth when he is at the poynte to punyshe. Who can tell whether the lorde will turne and have compassion and shall leave after him a blessynge? Sacrifice & drynk offerynge vnto þe lorde youre God. Blowe a trompet in Sion / proclayme

For me they seke daye by daye / and will knowe my wayes / as a people that doth ryghteousnes / and hath not forsaken the equitie of their God. They seke of me ryghteous iudgementes / and wyll drawe nye vnto God. Why have we fasted and thou hast not loked vpon it / have vmbled oure soules / & thou woldest not wyt it. Beholde when ye fast / ye can fynde youre awne lustes / and can call cruellye on all youre detters. Ye fast to lawe and stryve and to smyte with fyst


wyckedlye. Fast not as ye now do / to make youre voyce to be harde vp an hie. Shuld it be soche a maner of fast that I shuld chose / a daye that a man shuld hurte his soule in? Or to bowe downe his heed lyke a bullrushe? Or to sprede sack cloth and asshes vnder him? Shuldest thou call this a fast / and a daye acceptable vnto the lorde?

The frydaye next folowinge. The epistle.

This sayth the Lorde. The soule that sinneth / she shall dye. The sonne shall not beare parte of the fathers wyckednes. 16. The ryghteousnes of the ryght shalbe vpon him / and the wyckednes of the wycked shalbe on him. And yet the wycked if he turne from all his synnes which he dyd / and kepe all myne ordinaunces / and do iustlie and ryghteouslye / he shall live & not dye. None of the synnes that he hath done shalbe reconed vnto him: In the ryghteousnes that he hath done / he shall lyve. For I desier not the deeth of a synner (sayth the Lorde Iehovah) but rather that he shuld tourne from his waye / and lyve. And so yf a ryghteous tourne from his ryghteousnes and do wyckednes / and shall do lyke vnto all the abhominacyons whych a wycked doth / shall he lyve? No / none of those ryghteousnes that he dyd shalbe remembred. But in the wyckednes which he wrought / & in the synne which he dyd / in them shall he dye. But you wyll saye / the waye of the Lorde is not equall. Here I praye you ye house of Israel. Is not my waye equall? If a ryghteous tourne from his ryghteousnes and do wyckedlye / and dye therfore: in the wyckednes which he dyd he shall dye. And when a wycked turneth from his


wyckednes and doth iustlye and ryghteouslye / he shall saue his soule: because he feared and turned from all his wyckednes which he dyd / he shall lyue and not dye / sayth the lorde allmyghtie.

Thou madest heaven and erth / and whatsoeuer is contayned within the compasse of heauen: thou art lorde of all / nether is there anye that can resist thy maiestie. Thou knowest all thynge / & wottest þt it was not of pryde or of spyte / or anye desyer of glorie þt I dyd not worship moost proude Amon: for I wolde have been readye / and that gladlye (for the sauynge of Israel) to have kyst even the steppes of his fete.

And when he had tolde it his father and his brethren / his father rebuked him and sayde vnto him: what meaneth this dreame which thou hast dreamed? shall I come and thy mother and thy brethren and fall before the on the grounde? And though his brethren hated him: yet his father kept the thynge in mynde. And when his brethren were gone to pasture their fathers shepe at Sichem / Israell sayde to Ioseph: do not thy brethren fede the shepe at Sichem? come that I maye sende þe to th And he sayde: here am I.

The wensdaye after palme sondaye The Epistle.

26.Esaias sayde / lorde / who beleueth oure sayinge / & the arme of þe lorde / to whome is it opened? He came vp as a sparow before him / & as a rote oute of a drye lande. There was nether fassyon or bewtie on him. And when we looked on him / there was no godlynes þt we shuld lust after him. He was despised & cast oute of mennes cobar.gifpanye / & one that had soffered sorowe / & had experynce of infirmitie: & we were as one that had hid his face from him. He was so despisable / that we estemed him not. Truly he tooke vpon him oure deseases / & bare oure sorowes. And yet we counted him plaged / & beaten & humbled of God. He was wounded for oure transgression / and brused for oure iniquities. The correcciobar.gif that brought vs peace was on him / & with his strypes we were healed. And we went astraye as shepe / and turned euery man his waye: and the lorde put on him the wyckednes of vs all


He soffered wronge & was euell entreated / & yet opened not his mouth: he was as a shepe ledde to be slayne: & as a lambe before his sherer / he was domme & opened not his mouth. By þe reason of þe afflyccion / he was not estemed: & yet his generaciobar.gif who can nobar.gifbre? Wh he is taken from þe erth of lyuynge m: for my peoples transgression he was plaged. He put his sepulchre [wt] the wycked / & with þe ryche in his deth: because he dyd none iniquitie / nether was gyle founde in his mouth. And yet the lorde determyned to bruse him [wt] infirmities. His soule gevynge hir selfe for trangression / he shall se seed of longe cobar.giftinuaunce / and the will of þe lorde shall prospere in his hande Because of þe laboure of his soule / he shall se & be satisfied. With his knowledge / he beynge iust / shall iustifie my saruauntes & that a great nobar.gifbre: & he shall beare their iniquities. Therefore I will geue him his parte in many & the spoyle of þe ryche he shall deuyde: because he gaue his soule to death / & was nombred with the trespasers / & he bare the synne of many / and made intercession for transgressors.

On good frydaye the Epistle.

And the lorde spake vnto Moses & Aarobar.gif in þe lobar.gifde of Egipt sayinge: 27. This moneth shalbe youre chefe moneth: euen þe fyrst moneth of the yere shall it be vnto you. Speake ye vnto all þe felowshipe of Israel sayinge: þt they take the tth daye of this moneth to euery housholde / a shepe. Yf þe housholde be to few for a shepe / then let him & his neyboures

A shepe without spot & a male of one yere olde shall it be / & from amonge the lambes & the gotes shall ye take yt. And ye shall kepe him in warde vntill þe .xiiii. daye of þe same moneth And euery man of þe multitude of Israel shall kyll him aboute eu. And they shall take of þe bloude & stryck it on þe .ii. syde postes & on the Vpper dore post of þe houses / wherin they eate him. And they shall eate the fleshe the same nyght / roste [wt] fyer / & with unlevded breade & with soure erbes they shall eate it. Se þt ye eate not therof sod in water / but rost [wt] fyer: both heed / fete & purtenaunce together. And se that ye let nothynge of it remayne / vnto the mornynge: if ought remayne / burne it [wt] fyer. Of this maner shall ye eate it: with youre loynes gyrded / & shoes on youre fete / & youre staues in youre handes. And ye shall eate it in hast / for it is the lorde passeouer.

Beholde / the dayes will come sayth the lorde / þt I will stere vp vnto Dauid a ryghteous braunche / 28. & he shall raigne a kynge / & shalbe wyse / & shall do equitie & iustice in the erth. And in his dayes Iuda shalbe safe / & Israel shall dwell without feare. And this is the name that they shall call him the lorde oure righteousnes. Wherfore the dayes will come sayth þe lorde / that they shall

And I will plant them their awne land / and they shall not be anye more plucked oute of their lande which I have geuen them / sayth the lorde thy God.

Tvrne Israel vnto the lorde thy God: For thou art fallen for thy wyckednesses 30. sake. Take wordes with you and turne vnto the lorde. And saye vnto him: remyt all wyckednes and geue thynges / and we will paye the openly that we have promysed with oure lyppes. Assur shall not saue vs / nether will we ryde on horsses: nether will we


saye to þe workes of oure awne handes / ye are oure Godes / for thou hast compassion on the frendlesse. I will heale their obedience & will love th of myne awne accorde: for my wrath is ceased from them. I wilbe as dew to Israel / & he shall florisshe as a lylee / & stretch oute his rotes as Libanon. His braches shall runne oute / & as an olive tree shall his glorie be / & his favoure as Libanobar.gif. They that shall turne & syt in his shadow / shall lyve with corne / & florisshe as vynes. His renoune shalbe as the wyne of Libanon. Ephraim / what have ye anye moare to do with ydoles? I have healed him and loked on him. I wilbe as a great fyrre tre / and of me shall thy frute be founde. Who is wyse to vnderstonde these thinges & hath wyt to perceave them? For the wayes of the Lorde are strayght / and the righteous shall walke in them: but the wycked shall stomble in them.

On saynt Nicolas daye. The pistle.

Beholde an excellent Preste which in his dayes pleased God / 31. & was founde righteous / & in tyme of wrath made an atonement: Lyke to him there is not founde / that kept the lawe of the moost hyest. And he was in covenaunt with him / & in his flesshe he wrote the covenaunt / & in tyme of temptacyon


he was fode faythfull. Therfore he made him a covenaunt with an oth / that nacions shuld be blessed in his syght / & that he shuld be multiplied as þe dust of the erth. He knew him in his blessinges & gave him an inheritaunce. And he kept him thorow his mercie / that he founde grace in the eyes of God. An everlastinge covenat dyd he make him / & gave him the office of þe hie preste. He made him happie in glorye. In fayth & in his softenes / he made him holy / & chose him oute of all flesshe.

32.As a vyne / so brought I forth a savoure of swetnesse. And my flowres are the frute of glorie & riches. I am þe mother of bewtifull love & of feare / & of greatnes and of holye hope. In me is all grace of lyfe & truthe. And in me is all hope of lyfe & vertue. Come vnto me all þt desyer me / & be fylled with the frutes that springe of me. For my sprite is sweter then honye or honye combe. The remembreunce of me is for ever & ever. They that eate me / shall honger the moare / and they that drinke me / shall thurst the more. He that herkeneth to me / shall not be ashamed / and he that worketh by my cocell / shall not synne. And they that bringe into lyght / shall have eternall lyfe.

On candlemas daye. The epistle.

33.Beholde / I sende my messenger which shall prepare the waye before me. And sodenly shall the Lorde whome ye seke / come vnto his temple / & the messenger of the


couenaunt whome ye desyer. Beholde / he commeth sayth the lorde Sabaoth. Who shall endure in the daye of his commynge / or who shall stonde to beholde him? For he is as tryinge fyer and as the erbe that fullers scoure withall. And he shall syt tryenge and purgynge syluer / and shall purifie the sonnes of leui / and shall fyne them as gold and syluer. And they shall brynge offerynge vnto the lorde of ryghteousnes. And the sacrifice of Iuda and of Ierusalem shalbe delycious vnto the lorde as in the olde tyme and in the yeres that were at the begynnynge.

Then shall þe ryghteous stonde [wt] great constance agaynst them þt vexed them and toke awaye that they had laboured 35. for. When the wycked shall se that they shalbe


troubled with horrible feare / and shall wobar.gifder at the soden & vnloked for victorye / & shall saye in them selues / repentynge & sorowynge for anguyshe of hert. These be they which we sometyme mocked and iested on. We were oute of oure wyttes and thought their lyuynge madnes / and their ende to be without honoure But beholde / how they are counted amonge the children of God / and have their inherytaunce amonge the sayntes.

On the Nativite of. S. Ihon baptistes daye. The Epistle.

Thus sayth the lorde. Herk ye yles vnto me / 36. and geue hede ye people that are afarre. The lorde called me out of the wombe and made mencion of my name / when I was in my mothers bowelles. And he made my mouth lyke a sharpswerde. In the shadowe he led me with his hande. And he made me as an excellent arow / and hid in his quyver. And he sayd to me: thou art my saruaunt O Israel / in whome I wilbe glorified. And I sayde: I laboure in vayne and spende my strength for nought / and vnproffytably. How be yt my cause I commyt to the lorde and my trauayle vnto my God. And now sayth þe lorde that formed me in the wombe / to be his saruat and to tourne Iacob vnto him.

I am the floure of þe felde / & lylyes of the valeyes. 37.As þe lylye amobar.gifge the thornes so is my loue amonge þe daughters. As the appletre amonge the trees of þe wood so is my beloued amonge the sonnes / in his shadow was my desyer to syt / for his frute was swete to my mouth He brought me into his wyne seller: and his behauer to mewarde was louely. Beholde my beloued sayde to me: vp & hast my loue / my doue / my bewtifull & come / for now is wynter gone & rayne departed & past. The floures apere in oure contre & the tyme is come to cut þe vynes. The voyce of þe turtle doue is harde in oure lande.

Shew me thy face and let me here thy voyce / for thy voyce is swete and thy fassyon bewtifull.

On saynt Marye Magdalens daye The Epistle.

A woman of power and verite / if a man coulde fynde: þe valew of hir were farre a boue perles. 38.The harte of hir husbd trusteth in hir / þt he nedeth not spoyles. She rendereth him good & not euell all þe dayes of hir lyfe. She sought woll & flax & did as hir handes serued hir. She is lyk a marchates ship þt bryngeth hir vitayles from farre. She ryseth yer daye and geueth meate to hir houshold / & fode to hir maydens. She consydred a


grounde ond bought yt / and of the frute of hir handes planted a vyne. She gyrde hir loynes with strength & couraged hir armes. She perceaued that hir huswyfrye was proffitable / & therfore dyd not put oute hir candle by nyght She set hir fyngers to the spyndle / and hir handes caught holde on the dystaffe. She opened hir hand to the poore / and strethed oute hir handes to the nedye. She feared not least the colde of snowe shuld hurt hir house / for all hir housholde were doble clothed. She made hir gaye ornamentes / of byce and purple was hir apparell. Hir husband was had in honoure in the gates / as he sat with the elders of the lande. She made linen and solde it / and delyuered a gyrdell to the merchaunt. Strgth and glorye were hir rayment / and she laughed in the later dayes. She opened hir mouth with wysdome / and the lawe of ryghteousnes was on hir tonge. She had an eye to hir housholde and eate not breed ydlye. Hir children arose and blessed hir / and hir husband commended hir. Manye daughters have done excellentlye but thou hast passed them all. Fauoure is a deceauable thynge / and bewtie is vanytie. But a woman that feareth God / she shalbe praysed. Geue hir of the frute of hir handes / and let hir workes prayse hir in the gates.

On the assumpcion of oure layde. þe epistle

In all those thinges I sought rest: and in some mannes inheritaunce wolde haue 39.dwelt. Then the creator of all thynge commaunded and sayde vnto me: & he that


created me dyd set my tabernacle at rest and sayd vnto me / dwell in Iacob and have thyne inheritaunce in Israel / and rote thy selfe amobar.gifge myne elect. From the begynnynge and before the worlde was I created / and vnto the worlde to come / will I not cease: and before him have I mynistred in the holye habitacion And so in Sihon was I settled / & in the holye citie lykwyse I rested / and in Ierusalem was my power. And I roted my selfe in an honourable people / which are the lordes parte / and he their inheritaunce: and amonge the multitude of sayntes I helde me fast. As a Cedar tree was I lyfte vp in libanon / and as a Cypers tree in mounte Hermon. As a palme tree was I exalted in Cades / and as roseplantes in Iericho. As a bewtifull olyue tree in the feldes / and and as a plantayne tree was I exalted vpon the waters. In þe stretes I gaue an odoure as synamon & balme þt smelleth well / & gaue an odoure of swetnes as perfect myrre.

These thinges have I added to fill vp the lesse with all.

Infernus and gehenna differ moche in significacion / though we have none other interpretacion for ether of them / then this Englyshe worde / hell. For gehenna signifieth a place of punyshement: but infernus is taken for any maner of place beneth in þe erth / as a grave sepulchre or cave.

42.Hell: it is called in Hebrue the valeye of Hennon. A place by Ierusalem / where they burnt their chyldren in fyer vnto the ydole Moloch / & is vsurped & taken now for a place where the wycked and vngodlye shalbe tormented both soule and bodye / after the generall iudgement.

43.Geue Rowme to þe wrath of God. Rom. xii wrath is there taken for vengeaunce. And the meaninge is: let God advenge / ether by him selfe or by the officers that beare his rowme.

There tarye & abyde tyll ye go oute. It is in Marke the .vi. 44.Wheresoever ye enter in to an house / there abyde till ye go oute thce. And Luke .ix. it is / into what soever housse ye enter / ther tarye / and go not oute thence: that is to saye / whosoever receaveth you / there


abyde as longe as you are in the citie or toune / and go not shamefully a beggynge from housse to housse as freers do.

45.Dust: shake of the dust of youre fete. Matthew .x. Why are they cobar.gifmaunded to shake of the dust? For a wytnes sayth Luke. That that dede maye testifie agaynst them in the daye of iudgement / that the doctrine of salvacion was offered them / but they wolde not receave it. Ye se also that soche gestures and ceremonies haue greater power with them / then have bare wordes onlye / to move the harte & to stere vp fayth / as do the layenge on of handes and anoyntinge with oyle. & c.

Ypocrytes / can ye decerne the face of heaven and not decerne the signe of the tymes? That is to saye: 46. they coulde iudge by the signes of the skye what wether shuld folowe: but coulde not knowe Christ by the signes of the scripture. And yet other signe myght not be geven them.

He that sayth he knoweth Christ and kepeth not his commaundemtes / ys a lyar. To knowe Christ is to beleve in Christ. Ergo he that kepeth not the commaundementes / beleveth not in Christ.

The ende of this boke.
