The .ij. Chapter.
Eliah deuydeth the waters wyth hys mantell. He
is taken vp into heauen. The bytter and venenouse
waters are healed by the salt that Elizeus put into
th&ebar;. The chyldr&ebar; that mocke Elizeus are r&ebar;t in peces.
A And it chaunced when the lorde
woulde take vp Eliah to heau&ebar;
in a whorle winde, that Eliah ∧
Elizeus were goynge fr&obar; Galgal.
And Eliah said to Elizeus:
tary here I pray the, for the Lorde hath sent
me to Bethel. But Elizeus sayde: note as surely
as the Lorde lyueth, and as thy soule lyueth,
I wyl not leaue the. And when they came to
Bethel, the children of the prophetes that were
at Bethel, came out to Elizeus, ∧ sayd to him:
knowest thou not how that the Lord wil take
away thy maister from the this day? And he
said: I know it to: holde youre peace.
Then sayde Eliah to Elizeus: tary here a
felowship, for the Lorde hath sent me to Iericho.
And he sayde: as surely as the Lorde lyueth,
and as surely as thy soule lyueth,
B I will
not leaue the, and so they w&ebar;t to Iericho. And
the chyldren of the prophetes that were at Iericho
came to Eliseus, and sayd vnto him: art
thou not ware, that the Lorde will take away
thy mayster from the this day? And he answered:
I know it also, holde your peace. And Eliah
sayd to him: tary I pray the here, for þe; lord
hath sent me to Iordan But he sayde: as surely
as the Lord liueth, and as thy soule lyueth,
I will not leaue the. And so they went bothe
of them together. And fyfty m&ebar; of the sonnes
of the Prophetes went and stode in sight a
farre of, as they two stode by Iordan.
And then Eliah toke hys mantell ∧ wrapte
it together and smote the water, and it deuided
it selfe, parte the one waye and parte the
other, and they two went ouer on the drie l&abar;d.
And as sone as they were ouer, Eliah sayde
to Elizeus, aske what I shall do for the yeare
I be taken away from the. And Elizeus said:
let me I pray the, haue thy spirite note double in
me. And he sayde: thou hast asked an harde
thynge. Neuerthelesse yf thou se me when I
am tak&ebar; away from the,
C thou shalt haue it so,
yf thou do not, it shal not be. And as they w&ebar;t
walkynge and talkynge: beholde, there came
a charet of fyre and horsses of fyre, and put
them a sondre. And Eliah went vp in the
whorlewynde to heauen. And Elizeus sawe
and cryed: O my father, O my father, the
charet of Israel and the horsmen therof, ∧ saw
-- --
Elizeus.
him no more: and therefore toke his owne clothes
and rent them in two peces.
And then he toke vp the mantel of Eliah
that fel from him, and went backe agayn and
stode by Iordans syde, and toke the mantel of
Eliah, that fel from him, and smote the water
and sayde: where is the Lorde God of Eliah,
where is he? And when he had smyten the water,
it deuyded parte this waye and parte that
waye. And Elizeus went ouer. And the chyldren
of the Prophetes of Iericho, which saw
him from a farre, sayde: the spyryte of Eliah
doeth rest on Elizeus, and went against him,
and bowed to the earth vnto him. And they
saide vnto him: se, there be amonge thy serua&ubar;tes
fyftie lustie men: let them go and seke thy
mayster: happlye the spirit of the Lorde hathe
taken him vp ∧ cast him vpon some mountain
or in some valeye. And he saide: sende not. Neuerthelesse
yet they laye vpon him, til he was
ashamed, and saide: sende, and they sent fyfty
men, whiche sought him thre daies and thre
nyghtes, but founde him not. And they came
againe to him, for he taryed at Iericho. And
he sayde to them,
D dyd I saye vnto you, þt;
ye shoulde not go.
Then the men of Iericho sayd to Elizeus:
beholde, the citie standeth pleasauntly as my
Lorde seyth, but the water is naught and the
grounde bared. And he sayde: brynge me a
newe cruse and put salt therin. And they
brought it to him. And he went vnto þe; spring
of the water, and cast the shalt in thither, and
sayde: thus saith the Lorde: I heale thys water,
there shal not come henceforth ether death
or barennesse. And the water was helthsome
euer after accordyng to the saying of Elizeus
whyche he spake.
And he went from thence vp to Bethel.
And he was goynge vp in the waye, there
came lytle laddes out of the citie and mocked
him, and sayde to him: go vp thou bald head,
go vp thou bald heade. And he turned backe
and loked on them and cursed them in the name
of the Lorde. noteAnd there came two Beares
out of that wood, ∧ tare .xlij. of the boies.
And he went from thence to mount Carmel, ∧
from thence went agayne to Samaria.
