¶ The second Chapter.
¶ Of the commyng and deeth of Christ, and of the
callynge of the Heathen.
A Thys is the worde þt; was opened vnto
Esay the sonne of Amos, vpon Iuda
∧ Ierusalem. It wilbe also &rhand; in the
last dayes þt; þe; hyll where þe; house of þe; Lorde
is builded, shall be þe; chefe am&obar;ge hylles,
and exalted aboue all lytle hylles. And all
nacyons shall preace vnto hym, and the
-- --
multytude of people shal go speak&ibar;g thus
one to another: vp, note let vs go to þe; hyll of
the Lord, ∧ to the house of the God of Iacob:
that he maye shewe vs his waye, and
þt; we maye walcke in his pathes. For the
lawe shall come out of Sion, and the word
of the Lorde from Ierusal&ebar;, and shall geue
sent&ebar;ce amonge the Heathen, and shall reforme
the multitude of people: They shall
breake theyr swerdes also &ibar; to mattockes,
and theyr speares to make sythes. And one
people shall not lyft vp weapen aga&ibar;st another,
nether shal they learne to fyght from
th&ebar;s forth.
B Come ye (O house of Iacob) let
vs walcke &ibar; the lyght of þe; Lorde. But thou
hast forsaken thy people þe; house of Iacob,
because they go farre bey&obar;de þe; east c&obar;treys
&ibar; Sorceryes (wh&obar; they haue as þe; Philistines
had) and &rhand; in straunge chyldren they
thinke them selues to haue ynough. Theyr
land is full of siluer and gold, nether is there
any ende of theyr treasure: Theyr l&abar;d is
also full of horses, ∧ no &ebar;de is there of theyr
charets. Theyr lande is also full of vayne
goddes, and before þe; worcke of theyr awne
handes haue they bowed th&ebar; selues, yee, eu&ebar;
before the thinge that theyr awne fyngers
haue made. There kneleth the man, there
falleth the man downe before th&ebar;, but þu; (o
Lorde) wilt not leaue them vnpunished.
C And therfore get the in to some rock, and
hyde þe; in the grounde for feare of the Lord,
and for the glory of his magestye: Which
casteth downe the high lookes of pres&ubar;ptuous
personnes, and bringeth lowe þe; pryde
of man, and the Lorde only shall be exalted
in that daye. For the daye of þe; Lord of Hostes
shall go ouer al pride and presumpti&obar;,
vpon all them that exalte them selues, and
shall brynge th&ebar; all downe: vp&obar; all þe; hygh
and stoute Cedre trees of Libanus, ∧ vpon
all the okes of Basan, vpon all hygh hylles,
and vpon all stoute mountaynes, vpon
all costly towres, ∧ vpon all stronge walles,
vpon all shyppes of Tharsis, and vpon
euery thyng that is glorious and pleasa&ubar;t
to loke vpon. And it shall brynge downe
the pryde of man, and laye mans presumptuousnesse
full lowe, and the Lorde shall
only haue the vyctory in that daye. But
the Idols shall vtterly be roted out.
D Men
shall crepe in to holes of stone, and into caues
of the earth, for feare of the Lorde, and
for the glory of hys magesty: what tyme
as he shall aryse vp to condemne þe; earth.
Then shall man cast awaye hys goddes of
syluer, and hys goddes of gold (which he
neuertheles had made to honour them) vnto
Molles ∧ Backes: And they shall crepe
in to the caues and rockes, ∧ into the clyftes
of hard stones, for feare of God, and for
the glory of hys magestye, whan he ryseth
to condemne the earth. Feare not ye then
any man, whose breth is in hys nostrels.
For what is he of reputacion?
