CHAP. V. 1 He threatneth the riche with Gods seuere iudgement, for their pride, 7 that the poore hearing the miserable ende of the riche, 8 may patiently beare afflictions, 11 as Iob did, 14 euen in their distresses.


1   Go note to nowe, ye rich men: weepe, and howle for your miseries that shall come vpon you.


2   Your riches are corrupt, and your garments are moth eaten.


3   Your gold and siluer is cankred, & the rust of them shalbe a witnesse against you, and shall eate your flesh, as it were fire. Ye haue heaped vp treasure for the last dayes.


4   Behold, the hire of þe; labourers, which haue reaped your fieldes (which is of you kept backe by fraude) cryeth, and the cryes of them which haue reaped, are entred into the note eares of the Lord of hostes.


5   Ye haue liued in pleasure on the earth, and in wantonnes. Ye haue note nourished your heartes, as in a note day of slaughter.


6   Ye haue condemned and haue killed the iust, and he hath not resisted you.


7    noteBe patient therefore, brethren, vnto the comming of the Lord. noteBehold, the husbandman wayteth for the precious fruite of the earth, and hath long patience for it, vntill he receiue the former, and the latter rayne.


8   Be ye also patient therefore and settle your hearts: for þe; comming of the Lord draweth nere.


9    note noteGrudge not one against another, brethren, least ye be condemned: note behold, the iudge Swearing forbidden. standeth before the doore.


10    noteTake, my brethren, the Prophets for an ensample of suffering aduersitie, and of long patience, which haue spoken in the Name of the Lord.


11   Beholde, we count them blessed which endure. Ye haue heard of the patience of Iob, and haue knowen what note ende the Lord made. For the Lord is very pitifull and mercifull.


12    noteBut before all thinges, my brethren, note sweare not, neither by heauen, nor by earth, nor by any other othe: but let note your yea, be yea, and your nay, nay, lest ye fall into condemnation.


13    noteIs any among you afflicted? Let him pray. Is any merie? Let him sing.


14    noteIs any sicke among you? Let him call for the Elders of the Church, and let them pray for him, and anoynt him with note note oyle in the note Name of the Lord.


15   And the prayer of faith shall saue the sicke, and the Lord shall raise him vp: and if he haue committed note sinnes, they shalbe forgiuen him.


16    noteAcknowledge your faultes one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed: note for the prayer of a righteous man auaileth much, if it be feruent.


17    noteHelias was a man subiect to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rayne, and it rayned not on the earth for three yeeres and sixe moneths.


18   And he prayed againe, and the heauen gaue rayne, and the earth brought forth her fruite.


19    noteBrethren, note if any of you hath erred from the trueth, and some man hath note conuerted him,


20   Let him knowe that he which hath conuerted the sinner from going astray out of his way, shall saue a soule from death, and shal hide a multitude of sinnes.
