Moreover also my flesshe shall rest in hope 27 because thou wilt not leve my soul in hell nether wilt suffre thyne holye to se corrupcio. 28 Thou hast shewed me the wayes of lyfe and shalt make me full of ioye with thy countenaunce. 29 Men and brethren let me frely speake vnto you of the partriarke David: For he is both deed and buryed and his sepulcre remayneth with vs vnto this daye. 30 Therfore seinge he was a Prophet and knewe that God had sworne with an othe to him that the frute of his loynes shuld sit on his seat (in that Christ shulde ryse agayne in the flesshe) 31 he sawe before: and spake in the resurreccion of Christ that his soule shulde not be left in hell: nether his flesse shuld se corrupcio. 32 This Iesus hath God raysyd vp wherof we all are witnesses. 33 Sence now that he by the right honde of God exalted is and hath receaved of the father the promyse of the holy goost he hath sheed forthe that which ye nowe se and heare. 34 For David is not ascendyd into heave: but he sayde. The Lorde sayde to my Lorde sit on my right honde 35 vntill I make thy fooes thy fote stole. 36 So therfore let all the housse of Israel knowe for a suerty yt God hath made ye same Iesus whom ye have crucified LORde and Christ. 37 When they hearde this they were pricked in their hertes and sayd vnto Peter and vnto the other Apostles: Ye men and brethre what shall we do? 38 Peter sayde vnto them: repent and be baptised every one of you in the name of Iesus Christ for the remission of synnes and ye shall receave the gyfte of the holy goost. 39 For ye promyse was made vnto you and to youre chyldre and to all that are afarre even as many as ye Lorde oure God shall call. 40 And with many other wordes bare he witnes and exhorted them sayinge: Save youre selves from this vntowarde generacion. 41 Then they that gladly receaved his preachynge were baptised: and the same daye ther were added vnto them aboute thre thousande soules.
