that he was alredy deed and called vnto hym the vnder captayne and axed of him whether he had bene eny whyle deed. when he knewe the trueth off the vnder captayne/ he gave the boddy to Joseph. And he bought a linnen cloothe and toke hym doune and wrapped hym in the lynnen cloothe and layde hym in a tombe, that was hewen oute of the rocke. And roolled a stone vnto the dore off the sepulcre. And Mary magdalen and Mary Jose beheld where he was layde.

The rbj. Chapter.

A ND when the sabboth daye was past, Mary magdalen, and Mary Jacobi and Salome/ bought oyntmentes that they myght come and anoynt him. And yerly in the morninge the next daye after the sabboth day they cam vnto the sepulcre when the sun was risen And they said won to another: who shall rolle awaye the stone from the dore off the sepulcre? And when they behelde yt, they sawe how the stone was rolled awaye. For it was a very great won and they went in to the sepulcre / and sawe a yonge man sittinge on the ryght syde cloothed in a longe white garment, and they were abasshed.

He sayd vnto them/ be nott affrayed, ye seke Jesus of nazareth which was crucified. He ys rysen, he ys nott here. Behoolde the place where they putt hym. Butt go youre waye/ and tell his disciples and namly Peter, that he is goone before you in to galile there shall ye se hym, as he sayde vnto you. And they went oute quicly and fleed from the sepulcre. For they trembled and were amased, Nether said they eny thinge to eny man for they were afrayed.

When Jesus was risen the morowe after the sabboth daye/ he appered fyrst to Mary magdalen / oute off whom he cast seven devyls. And she went and toolde them that were with hym, as they morned and weppte. And when they herde, that he was alive and had appiered to her: they beleved it not. After that he appered unto two of them in a straunge figure/ as they walked and went in to the country. And they went and toolde it to the remnaunt. And they beleved them nether.

After that he appered unto the eleven as they sate at meate: and cast in their tethe their vnbelefe and hardnes off herte : be cause they beleved not them which had sene hym after his resurreccion. And he sayd vnto them. Goo ye in to all the woorlde and preache the gospell to all creaturs: Whosoever

beleveth, and ys baptised shalbe safe: And whosoever beleveth nott/ shalbe dampned.

And these signes shall folowe them that beleve: In my name they shall cast oute devyls/ and shall speake with newe tonges/ and shall kill serpentes. And yf they drynke eny dedly thynge/ yt shall nott hurte them. They shall laye their hondes on the sike, and they shall recovre.

So then when the lorde had spoken vnto them he was receaved in to heven and sate on the right honde of god.

And they went forth, and preached every where/

And the lorde wroght with them, And
confirmed their preachynge with myra-
cles that folowed.

FOR as moche as many have taken in hond to compyle a treates off thoo thynges, which are surely knowen amonge vs even as they declared them vnto vs which from the begynynge sawe them with their eyes, and were ministers at the doyng: I determined also/ as sone as I had searched out diligently all thinges from the begynynge that then I wolde wryte vnto the goode Theophilus, that thou myghtest knowe the certente off thoo thinges/ whereof thou arte informed.

The fyrst Chapter.

N the tyme of Herode kynge of iewry, there was a certayne prest named Zacarias off the course of Abie. And his wyfe was of the doughters of Aaron And her name was Elizabeth. Booth were perfect before God and walked in all the lawes and ordinacions of the lorde that no man coulde fynde fawte with them. And they had no childe because that Elisabeth was barren And booth were well stricken in age.

Hit cam to passe, as he executed the prestes office before god as his course cam (accordinge to the custome of the prestes office) his lott was to bren odoures/ And went into the temple of the lorde and all the multitude of people were with out in their prayers whill the odoures were abrennynge. There appered vnto him the lordes angell, stondinge on the right syde off the aultre off odours. And when Zacharias sawe hym, he was abasshed and feare cam on hym.

The angell sayde vnto hym: feare not Zacary: ffor thy prayer is herde: And thy wyfe Helyzabeth shall beare the a sonne

and thou shalt call his name Jhon/ And thou shaltt have ioye and gladnes And many shall reioyce att his birth. For he shalbe greate in the sight off god/ and shall nether drynke wyne ner stronge drynke. And he shalbe filled with the holy goost even in his mothers woombe: And many off the chyldren off Israhel shall he tourne to their lorde God. And he shall goo before hym in the sprete and power off Helyas to tourne the herttes off the fathers to their chyldren and the vnbeleveres to the wisdom off the iuste men: to make the people redy ffor the lorde.

And Zacary sayde vnto the angell: Wherby shall I know this? seinge that I am olde, and my wyfe well stricken in yeares. And the angell answered and sayde vnto hym: I am Gabriell that stonde in the presens off God, and am sentt to speake vnto the and to shewe the this glad tydinges. And take hede thou shalt be domme, and not able to speake vntyll the tyme that these thinges be performed, because thou belevedst not my wordes which shalbe fulfilled in there season.

And the people wayted for Zacareas and mervelled that he taryed in the temple. When he cam oute he coulde not speake vnto them. And they perceaved that he had sene some vision in the temple. And he beckened vnto them, and remayned speachlesse.

And it fortuned as sone as the tyme off his office was oute/ he departed home in to his awne housse. Affter thoose dayes/ his wife Elizabeth conceaved, and hid her silfe .v. monethes/ saynge: This wyse hath god dealte with me in the dayes when he loked on me to take from me the rebuke that I suffered amonge men.

And in the .vi. moneth the angell Gabryel was sent from god vnto a cite off galile named nazareth, to a virgin spoused to a man whose name was Joseph of the housse of David, and the virgins name was Mary. And the angell went in vnto her and sayde: Hayle full of grace, the lorde is with the blessed arte thou amonge wemen. When she sawe hym/ she was abasshed att his saynge: and cast in her mynde what maner of salutacion that shulde be. And the angell sayde vnto her feare not Mary, thou hast founde grace with god. Loo: thou shalt conceave in thy wombe, and shalt beare a childe, and shalt call his name Jesus. He shalbe greate, and shalbe called the sonne off the hyest. And the lorde god shall geve vnto hym the seate off his father David And he shall raygne over the house off Jacob for ever, and of his kyngdom shalbe none ende.

Then sayd Mary vnto the angell: Howe shall this be seinge that I knowe no man? And the angell answered, and sayd vnto her: The holy goost shall come apon the and the power off the hyest shall over shaddowe the. Therfore also that holy thynge which shall be borne shalbe called the sonne of god. And marke, thy cosen Elizabeth, hath also conceaved a sonne in her olde age. And this is the .vj. moneth to her, which was called barren for with god shall nothinge be vnpossible. Mary sayd: beholde the honde mayden off the lorde, be it vnto me even as thou hast sayde. And the angell departed from her.

Mary arose in thoose dayes, and went in to the mountayns with hast into a cite off iewry and entred in to the house off Zacary and saluted Elizabeth. And it fortuned, as Elizabeth herde the salutacion of Mary the babe spronge in her belly. And Elizabeth was filled with the holy goost and cryed with a loude voyce/ and sayde Blessed arte thou among wemen and blessed is the frute off thy wombe. And whens hapeneth this to me that the mother off my lorde shulde come to me? as sone as the voyce of thy salutacion sownded in myne eares/ the babe lepte in my belly for ioye. And blessed arte thou that belevedst/ For thoose thinges shalbe performed which were tolde the from the lorde.

And Mary sayde.

My soule magnifieth the lorde.

And my sprete reioyseth in god my savioure/

Loo/

For he hath loked on the povre degre off his honde mayden. Beholde nowe from hens forth shall all generacions call me blessed.

For he that is myghty hath done to me greate thinges, and blessed ys his name:

And hys mercy is always on them that feare him thorow oute all generacions.

He hath shewed strengthe with his arme he hath scattered them that are proude in the ymaginacion of their hertes.

He hath putt doune the myghty from their seates, and hath exalted them of lowe degre.

He hath filled the hongry with goode thinges: And hath sent away the ryche empty.

He hath remembred mercy: and hath holpen his servaunt

Israhel.

Even as he promised to oure fathers, Abraham and to his seede for ever.
