And God was with him 10 and delivered him out of all his adversities. And gave him faveour and wisdome in the sight of Pharao kynge of Egipte which made him governer over Egipte and over all his housholde. 11 Then came ther a derth over all the londe of Egipt and Canaan and great affliccion that our fathers founde no sustenauce. 12 But when Iacob hearde that ther was corne in Egipte he sent oure fathers fyrs 13 and at the seconde tyme Ioseph was knowen of his brethren and Iosephs kynred was made knowne vnto Pharao. 14 Then sent Ioseph and caused his father to be brought and all his kynne thre score and xv. soules. 15 And Iacob descended into Egipte and dyed bothe he and oure fathers 16 and were translated into Sichem ond were put in ye sepulcre that Abraham bought for money of the sonnes of Emor at Sichem. 17 When ye tyme of ye promes drue nye (which God had sworme to Abraham) the people grewe and multiplied in Egipte 18 till another kynge arose which knewe not of Ioseph. 19 The same dealte suttelly with oure kynred and evyll intreated oure fathers and made them to cast oute their younge chyldren that they shuld not remayne alyve. 20 The same tyme was Moses borne and was a proper childe in ye sight of God which was norisshed vp in his fathers housse thre monethes. 21 When he was cast out Pharoes doughter toke him vp and norisshed him vp for her awne sonne. 22 And Moses was learned in all maner wisdome of the Egipcians and was mighty in dedes and in wordes. 23 And when he was full forty yeare olde it came into his hert to visit his brethren the chyldren of Israhel. 24 And when he sawe one of them suffre wronge he defended him and avenged his quarell that had the harme done to him and smote the Egypcian. 25 For he supposed hys brethren wolde have vnderstonde how yt God by his hondes shuld save them But they vnderstode not. 26 And the next daye he shewed him selfe vnto the as they strove and wolde have set the at one agayne sayinge: Syrs ye are brethren why hurte ye one another? 27 But he that dyd his neghbour wronge thrust him awaye sayinge: who made ye a rular and a iudge amonge vs? 28 What wilt thou kyll me as thou dyddest the Egyptian yester daye? 29 Then fleed Moses at that sayenge and was a stranger in the londe of Madian where he begat two sonnes. 30 And when.xl. yeares were expired ther appered to him in the wyldernes of mounte Syna an angell of the Lorde in a flamme of fyre in a busshe. 31 When Moses sawe it he wondred at the syght. And as he drue neare to beholde the voyce of the Lorde came vnto him: 32 I am ye God of thy fathers the God of Abraham the God of Isaac and the God of Iacob. Moses trembled and durst not beholde. 33 Then sayde ye Lorde to him: Put of thy showes from thy fete for the place where thou stondest is holy grounde. 34 I have perfectly sene the affliccion of my people which is in Egypte and I have hearde their gronynge and am come doune to delyver them. And now come and I will sende the into Egypte. 35 This Moses whom they forsoke sayinge: who made the a ruelar and a iudge: the same God sent bothe a ruler and delyverer by ye hondes of the angell which appered to him in the busshe. 36 And the same brought them out shewynge wonders and signes in Egypte and in the reed see and in the wyldernes.xl. yeares. 37 This is that Moses which sayde vnto the chyldre of Israel: A Prophet shall the Lorde youre God rayse vp vnto you of youre brethren lyke vnto me him shall ye heare. 38 This is he that was in ye congregacion in the wyldernes with the angell which spake to him in ye moute Syna and with oure fathers. This man receaved the worde of lyfe to geve vnto vs 39 to who oure fathers wolde not obeye but cast it from them and in their hertes turned backe agayne into Egypte 40 sayinge vnto Aaron: Make vs goddes to goo before vs. For this Moses that brought vs out of the londe of Egypte we wote not what is become of him. 41 And they made a calfe in those dayes and offered sacrifice vnto the ymage and reioysed in the workes of their awne hondes. 42 Then God turned him selfe and gave them vp that they shuld worship the starres of the skye as it is written in the boke of the prophetes. O ye of ye housse of Israel gave ye to me sacrefices and meate offerynges by the space of xl. yeares in the wildernes? 43 And ye toke vnto you the tabernacle of Moloch and the starre of youre god Remphan figures which ye made to worshippe them. And I will translate you beyonde Babylon. 44 Oure fathers had the tabernacle of witnes in ye wyldernes as he had apoynted the speakynge vnto Moses that he shuld make it acordynge to the fassion that he had sene. 45 Which tabernacle oure fathers receaved and brought it in with Iosue into the possession of the gentyls which God drave out before the face of oure fathers vnto the tyme of David 46 which founde favour before God and desyred that he myght fynde a tabernacle for the God of Iacob. 47 But Salomon bylt him an housse. 48 How be it he that is hyest of all dwelleth not in teple made with hondes as saith the Prophete: 49 Heven is my seate and erth is my fote stole what housse will ye bylde for me sayth the Lorde? or what place is it that I shuld rest in? 50 hath not my honde made all these thinges? 51 Ye stiffenecked and of vncircumcised hertes and eares: ye have all wayes resisted the holy goost: as youre fathers dyd so do ye. 52 Which of the prophetes have not youre fathers persecuted? And they have slayne them which shewed before of the commynge of that iust whom ye have now betrayed and mordred. 53 And ye also have receaved a lawe by the ordinaunce of angels and have not kept it. 54 When they hearde these thinges their hertes clave a sunder and they gnasshed on him with their tethe. 55 But he beynge full of the holy goost loked vp stedfastlye with his eyes into heven and sawe the glorie of God and Iesus stondynge on the ryght honde of God 56 and sayde: beholde I se the hevens open and the sonne of man stondynge on the ryght honde of god. 57 Then they gave a shute with a loude voyce and stopped their eares and ranne apon him all at once 58 and caste him out of the cite and stoned him. And the witnesses layde doune their clothes at a yonge mannes fete named Saul. 59 And they stoned Steven callynge on and sayinge: Lorde Iesu receave my sprete. 60 And he kneled doune and cryed with a loude voyce: Lorde laye not this synne to their charge. And when he had thus spoken he fell a slepe. 1 Saul had pleasure in his deeth. And at yt tyme there was a great persecucion agaynst the congregacion which was at Ierusalem and they were all scattered abroade thorowout the regions of Iury and Samaria except the Apostles 2 Then devout men dressed Steven aud made great lamentacion over him.
  • Acts 8:5-9 : 5 Then came Philip into a cite of Samaria and preached Christ vnto them. 6 And the people gave hede vnto those thinges which Philip spake with one acorde in that they hearde and sawe the miracles which he dyd. 7 For vnclene spretes cryinge with loude voyce came out of many that were possessed of them. And manye taken with palsies and many yt halted were healed 8 And ther was great ioye in that cite. 9 And ther was a certayne man called Simon which before tyme in the same cite vsed witche crafte and bewitched the people of Samarie sayinge that he was a man yt coulde do greate thinges 10 Whom they regarded from ye lest to the greatest sayinge: this felow is the great power of God. 11 And him they set moche by because of longe tyme with sorcery he had mocked the. 12 But assone as they beleved Philippes preachynge of the kyngdome of God and of the name of Iesu Christ they were baptised bothe men and wemen. 13 Then Simon him selfe beleved also and was baptised and cotinued with Phillip and wondered beholdynge the miracles and signes which were shewed. 14 When ye Apostles which were at Ierusalem hearde saye that Samaria had receaved ye worde of God: they sent vnto the Peter and Iohn 15 which when they were come prayed for the that they myght receave ye holy goos 16 For as yet he was come on none of them: But they were baptised only in the name of Christ Iesu. 17 Then layde they their hondes on them and they receaved the holy goost. 18 When Simo sawe that thorowe layinge on of the Apostles hondes on them the holy goost was geven: he offered the money 19 sayinge: Geve me also this power that on whom soever I put the hondes he maye receave the holy goost. 20 Then sayde Peter vnto him: thy monye perysh with the because thou wenest that the gifte of God maye be obteyned wt money. 21 Thou hast nether parte nor felloushippe in this busines. For thy hert is not ryght in the syght of God. 22 Repent therfore of this thy wickednes and praye God that ye thought of thyne hert maye be forgeven the. 23 For I perceave that thou arte full of bitter gall and wrapped in iniquite. 24 Then answered Simon and sayde: Praye ye to the LORde for me yt none of these thinges whiche ye have spoken fall on me. 25 And they whe they had testified and preached the worde of the LORde returned toward Ierusalem and preached the gospell in many cities of the Samaritas. 26 Then the angell of the LORde spake vnto Phillip sayinge: aryse and goo towardes mydde daye vnto ye waye yt goeth doune fro Ierusalem vnto Gaza which is in ye desert. 27 And he arose and wet on. And beholde a man of Ethiopia which was a chaberlayne and of grete auctorite wt Cadace quene of ye Ethiopias and had ye rule of all her treasure came to Ierusalem for to praye. 28 And as he returned home agayne sittynge in his charet he rede Esay ye prophe 29 Then ye sprete sayde vnto Phillip: Goo neare and ioyne thy selfe to yonder charet. 30 And Philip ranne to him and hearde him rede ye prophet Esayas and sayde: Vnderstondest thou what thou redest? 31 And he sayd: how can I except I had a gyde? And he desyred Philip that he wold come vp and sit wt him. 32 The tenoure of ye scripture which he redde was this. He was ledde as a shepe to be slayne: and lyke a lambe dome before his sherer so opened he not his mouth. 33 Because of his humblenes he was not estemed: who shall declare his generacio? for his lyfe is taken fro the erthe. 34 The chamberlayne answered Philip and sayde: I praye the of whom speaketh the Prophet this? of him selfe or of some other man? 35 And Philip opened his mouth and beganne at ye same scripture and preached vnto him Iesus. 36 And as they went on their waye they came vnto a certayne water and the chamberlayne sayde: Se here is water what shall let me to be baptised? 37 Philip sayde vnto him: Yf thou beleve with all thyne hert thou mayst. He answered and sayde: I beleve that Iesus Christe is the sonne of God. 38 And he comaunded the charet to stonde still. And they went doune bothe into the water: bothe Philip and also the chamberlayne and he baptised him. 39 And assone as they were come out of the water the sprete of the LORde caught awaye Philip yt the chamberlayne sawe him no moore.
