The prayse of Iosue, Caleb, and Samuel.
1 Iesus note note the sonne of Naue was valiant in the
warres, and was the successour of Moyses in prophecies,
who according vnto his name, was a great
sauiour of the elect of God, to take vengeance of
the enemies that rose vp against them, and to set Israel
in their inheritance.
2 noteWhat glory gate hee, when hee lift vp his
hand, and drewe out his sword against the cities?
3 Who was there before him, like to him? for
he fought the battels of the Lord.
4 noteStoode not the sunne still by his meanes,
and one day was as long as two?
5 Hee called vnto the most High gouernour
when the enemies preassed vpon him on euery side,
and the mightie Lorde heard him with the haile
stones, and with mightie power.
6 He rushed in vpon the nations in battell, and
in the note going downe of Bethoron he destroyed the
aduersaries, that they might know his weapons, and
that he fought note in the sight of the Lorde: for hee
note followed the Almightie.
7 noteIn the time of Moyses also hee did a good
worke: he and note Caleb the sonne of Iephune stood
against the enemie, and withhelde the people from
sinne, and appeased the wicked murmuring.
8 noteAnd of sixe hundred thousand people of
foote, they two were preserued to bring them into
the heritage, euen into the land that floweth with
milke and hony.
9 noteThe Lord gaue strength also vnto Caleb,
which remained with him vnto his olde age, so that
he went vp into the hie places of the land, and his
seede obteined it for an heritage,
10 That all the children of Israel might see, that
it is good to followe the Lord.
11 Concerning the note Iudges, euery one by name,
whose heart went not a whoring, nor departed
from the Lord, their memorie be blessed.
12 Let note their bones flourish out of their place,
& their names by succession remaine to them that
are most famous of their children.
13 ¶2; note Samuel the Prophet of the Lorde, beloued
of his Lord, note ordeined Kings, & anointed the
-- --
princes ouer his people.
14 By the Lawe of the Lord he iudged the congregation,
and the Lord had respect vnto Iacob.
15 This Prophet was approued for his faithfulnesse,
and he was knowen faithfull in his wordes
and visions.
16 noteHe called vpon the Lord Almightie, when
his enemies preassed vpon him on euery side, when
he offered the sucking lambe.
17 And the Lorde thundred from heauen, and
made his voyce to be heard with a great noyse.
18 So he discomfited the Princes of the Tyrians,
and all the rulers of the Philistims.
19 noteAnd before his long sleepe he made protestation
in the sight of the Lorde, and his anointed,
that he tooke no substance of any man, no, not so
much as a shooe, and no man coulde accuse him.
20 noteAfter his sleepe also he told of þe; Kings death,
and from the earth lift he vp his voyce, & prophesied
that the wickednesse of the people should perish.
