CAP. XXXV.
1 Who kepeth the wrd, multeplieth orisoun.
2 Holsum sacrifise is to taken heed
to the maundemens, and to gon awei fro
alle wickidnesse.
3 And to sacrifien plesing
of sacrifise vp on vnri&yogh;twisnesses, and
louli pre&yogh;ing for synnes, to gon awei fro
vnri&yogh;twisnesse.
4 He shal &yogh;elde grace, that
offreth tried flour; and that doth mercy,
offreth sacrifise.
5 `Weel plesid thing is to
the Lord, to gon awei fro wickidnesse;
and louly pre&yogh;ing to gon awei fro vnri&yogh;twisnesse.
6 Thou shalt not aperen bifor
-- --
the si&yogh;te of the Lord voide;
7 forsothe alle
these thingus for the hestus of God ben
mad.
8 The offring of the ri&yogh;twis fatteth
the auter; and the smel of swotenesse is
in the si&yogh;te of the he&yogh;est.
9 The sacrifise
of the ri&yogh;twis is acceptid, and the mynde
of hym the Lord shal not for&yogh;ete.
10 With
good wil &yogh;elde glorie to God, and lasse
thou not the cheef frutis of thi hondis.
11 In alle &yogh;ifte glad mac thi chere, and in
ful out io&yogh;ing halewe thi dymes.
12 &YOGH;if
to the he&yogh;este aftir the free &yogh;ifte of hym;
and in good e&yogh;e mac thou the finding of
thin hondis.
13 For &yogh;eldende is the Lord,
and seuensithe as myche he shal &yogh;elde to
thee.
14 Wile thou not offren shreude &yogh;iftus;
forsothe he shal not taken hem.
15 And
wile thou not biholden the vnri&yogh;twis sacrifise;
for the Lord is domes man, and
ther is not anent hym glorie of persone.
16 The Lord shal not taken a persone in to
pore; and the pre&yogh;ing of the hurt he shall
ful out heren.
17 He shal not dispise the
pre&yogh;eres of the faderles child, ne the widewe,
yff she heelde out the speche of
weiling.
18 Whether not the teres of the
widewe at the cheeke gon doun, and the
outcry of hir vp on the ledyng doun of
hem?
19 Fro the cheke forsothe thei ste&yogh;en
vp to heuen, and the Lord herere shal
not delyten in them.
20 Who honourith
God in liking, shal ben resseyued; and
the lowe pre&yogh;yng of hym vnto the cloudis
shal ne&yogh;he.
21 The orisoun of the meekende
hymself shal persen cloudis, and to the
tyme that it ne&yogh;he, he shal not be coumfortid,
and not gon awei, to the tyme that
the he&yogh;est beholde.
22 And the Lord shal
not longen awey, but demen ri&yogh;twis men,
and don dom; and the strengeste shal
not han in hem pacience, that he to-truble
the rigge of hem.
23 And to Jentiles he
shal &yogh;elde veniaunce, to the tyme that he
take awei the plente of proude men, and
the kingus dignetees of wicke men he totruble;
-- --
24 to the tyme that he &yogh;elde to men
aftir ther deedus, and aftir the werkis of
Adam, and aftir the presumpcioun of
hym;
25 to the tyme that he deme the dom
of his folc, and `he schal delite ri&yogh;twis
men with his mercy.
26 Fair the mercy of
God in tyme of tribulacioun, as a cloude
of reyn in tyme of dro&yogh;te.
