  • Matt 6:1-9 : 1 Take heede to your almes, that ye geue it not in the sight of men, to the intente that ye woulde be sene of the, or els ye haue no rewarde of your father, which is in heauen. 2 Therefore, when thou geuest thyne almes, thou shalt not make a trumpet to be blowen before thee, as hypocrites do, in the synagogues, & in the streates, yt they might be esteemed of me. Uerily I say vnto you, they haue their reward. 3 But when thou doest thyne almes, let not thy left hande knowe, what thy ryght hande doeth, 4 That thyne almes may be in secrete: And thy father, which seeth in secrete, shall rewarde thee openly. 5 And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are. For they loue to stande, praying in the synagogues, and in the corners of the streates, that they may be sene of men. Ueryly I say vnto you, they haue theyr rewarde. 6 But when thou prayest, enter into thy chaumber, and when thou hast shut thy dore, pray to thy father, which is in secrete, and thy father which seeth in secrete, shall rewarde thee openly. 7 But when ye pray, babble not much, as the heathen do. For they thynke it wyl come to passe, that they shalbe heard, for theyr much bablinges sake. 8 Be not ye therfore lyke vnto them. For your father knoweth, what thynges ye haue nede of, before ye aske of hym. 9 After this maner therfore pray ye. O our father, which art in heauen, halowed be thy name. 10 Let thy kyngdome come. Thy wyll be done, as well in earth, as it is in heauen. 11 Geue vs this day our dayly breade. 12 And forgeue vs our dettes, as we forgeue our detters. 13 And leade vs not into temptation, but delyuer vs from euyll. For thyne is the kyngdome, and the power, and the glory, for euer. Amen. 14 For, yf ye forgeue men theyr trespasses, your heauenly father shall also forgeue you. 15 But, yf ye forgeue not men theyr trespasses: no more shall your father, forgeue you your trespasses. 16 Moreouer, when ye fast, be not of an heauy countenaunce, as hypocrites are. For they disfigure theyr faces, that they myght appeare vnto men, to fast. Ueryly I say vnto you, they haue theyr rewarde.
