&rhand; The .xlviii. Chapter.
Te prayse of, Eliah, Helizeus, Hezekiah, ∧
Esaye.
A noteThen stod vp Eliah the prophet
as a fyre, and hys worde brente
like a creshet, He brought an h&obar;ger
vpon th&ebar; and in hys zele he
made them few in number. For
they myght not awaye with the comaundementes
of the Lorde. Thorowe the worde of
the Lord he shut the heauen, note and thre tymes
broughte he the fyre downe. Thus became
Eliah honorable in hys wonderous deedes.
Who maye make hys booste to be like hym?
One that was dead raysed he vp from death
and in the word of the Hyest he brought him
out of the graue agayne. noteHe cast downe Kinges
and destroyed them, and the honorable
from their seate. Vpon the mounte Syna he
herd the punyshment, ∧ vp&obar; Horeb the iudgement
of the vengeaunce. noteHe prophecyed recompensyng
vnto kinges, and ordeined prophetes
after hym. He was taken in the storm
of fyre in a charet of horsses of the Lorde. He
was ordeyned in the reprouynges in tyme
to pacyfye the wrathe, to turne the hertes of
the fathers vnto the chyldren, and to sette vp
the trybes of Iacob agayne. Blessed were
they that sawe the, and were garnyshed in
loue:
B for we lyue in lyfe.
Eliah was couered in the storme, but Heliseus
was fylled with his mouth. While he
lyued he was afrayed of no prynce, and no
man might ouer come hym. There could no
worde disceaue him, ∧ after his death hys body
prophecyed. He did wonders in his life, ∧
in death were hys workes maruelous. For
all thys, the people amended not, neyther departed
they from their synnes: tyl they were
caryed awaye prisoners out of the lande, ∧
were scattered abrode in al countrees, so that
of them there remayned but a very litle people,
and a prynce vnto the house of Dauyd.
How be it some of them dyd ryght, and some
heaped vp vngodlynes.
C noteHezekiah made hys citie stronge, c&obar;ueied
water into it, dygged thorow the stony rocke
with yron, ∧ made vp a well by þe; water side
In hys tyme came Sennaheryb vp, and
sent Rabsakeh, lyfte vp hys hande agaynste
Syon, ∧ defyed them &wt; greate pryde. Then
trimbled their hertes and h&abar;des, so that they
sorowed lyke a woman trauaylynge wyth
childe. So they called vpon the Lord, which
is mercyfull, and lyft vp their handes before
him. Immediatly þe; Lorde herde them out of
heauen, and delyuered them by the hande of
Esay. He smote the hoost of the Assyryans, ∧
his angell destroied them. For Hezekiah had
done the thinge that pleased the Lorde) and
remayned stedfastly in the waye of Dauyd
his father. Whych Esaye was great ∧ faythful
in his visi&obar;s. In hys tyme þe; Sunne went
backewarde, ∧ he lengthened þe; kynges lyfe.
-- --
Wyth a ryghte spirite prophecyed he, what
shuld come to passe at the last: ∧ to suche as
were sorowfull in Sion he gaue consolacion
wherewith they myghte c&obar;forte them selues
for euermore. He shewed thynges, that were
for to come and secrete, or euer they came to
passe.
