The .ij. Chapter.
Of the commyng and death of Christ, and of the callyng
of the Heathen.
A Moreouer this is þe; word
that was opened vnto
Esay the sonne of Amoz,
vpon Iuda ∧ Ierusalem.
It will be also05Q0815 in processe
of tyme: That þe; hyl
where the house of the
Lorde is buylded, shal be
the chefe amonge hylles, and exalted aboue al lytle
hylles. And all the Heathen shall preache
vnto hym, ∧ the multytude of people shall go
vnto hym, speakynge thus one to another: vp
let vs go to the hyll of the Lorde, ∧ to þe; house
of the God of Iacob: that he maye shewe vs
hys waye, and that we maye walcke in hys
pathes. For the05Q0816 lawe shall come out of Sy&obar;
and the worde of God from Ierusalem, and
shall geue sentence amonge the Heathen, and
shall reforme the multytude of people. 05Q0817So
that they shal breake theyr swerdes ∧ speares
to make sythes, sycles and sawes thereof. Fr&obar;
that tyme forth shall not one people lyfte vp
weapen agaynste another, neyther shall they
learne to fight from thence forth. It is to the þt;
I crye (O house of Iacob) vp,
B let vs walck in
the lyghte of the Lorde, But thou art scatered
abroade with thy people (O house of Iacob)
for ye go farre beyonde youre fathers, whether
it be in Sorcerers (whome ye haue as the
Phylystynes had) or in calkers of mens byrthes,
whereof ye haue to manye. As soone as
youre lande was full of syluer and golde, and
no ende of youre treasure: so soone as youre
lande was full of stronge horses and no ende
of youre charettes: Immediatlye was it full
of Idols also, euen workes of youre owne h&abar;des,
which ye youre selues haue fashyoned, ∧
your fyngers haue made. There kneleth þe; m&abar;
there falleth the m&abar; doune before th&ebar;, so that
-- --
Ierusalem.
thou canste not brynge hym a waye fr&obar; th&ebar;ce.
C And therfore get the soone into some rock,
∧ hyde the in the grounde fr&obar; the sighte of the
fearful iudge, ∧ fr&obar; the glorye of his mageste:
Which casteth doune the hygh lokes of presumptuous
personnes, ∧ bryngeth lowe the
pryde of man, ∧ he only shall be exalted in the
daye. For the05Q0818 daye of the Lorde of Hostes
shall go ouer all pryde ∧ presumpcyon, vpon
all them that exalte th&ebar; selues, ∧ shall brynge
them all doune: vpon all high ∧ stoute. 05Q0819Cedre
trees of Lybanus, and vpon all the okes
of Basan, vpon all hygh hylles, and vpon al
stoute mountaynes, vpon all costlye towres,
and vpon al strong walles, vpon all shyppes
of the sea, and vpon euerye thynge that is gloryous
and pleasaunte to loke vpon.
And it shall bryng doune the pryde of m&abar;,
∧ laye mans presumptuousnesse ful lowe, and
the Lorde shall onelye haue the vyctorye in
that daye. But the ydoles shall vtterly be roted
oute.
D Men shall crepe into holes of stone,
and into caues of the earthe, from the syghte
of the fearfull iudge, and from the glorye of
hys magesty: what tyme as he shall make
hym vp to shake the earthe. Then then, shall
man caste awaye hys Goddes of syluer and
golde (whiche he neuerthelesse had made to honoure
them) vnto Moles and Backes: that he
maye the better crepe into the caues ∧ rockes,
and into the cliffes of harde stones, from the
syghte of the fearfull iudge ∧ from the glorye
of hys Magestye.
