¶ The .xxxiij. Chapter. ¶ The prophete is monyshed of the Lorde, to praye for the delyueraunce of the people, which the Lorde promyseth. God forgeueth synnes, and doth gracyously to the people, for hys awne renowne. Of the byrth of Christ. The kyngdome of Christ in þe; church shall neuer be ended.

A   Moreouer, the worde of the Lorde came vnto Ieremy on thys maner, note when he was yet bound in the court of þe; preson. Thus sayth the Lorde, which fulfilleth the thing that he speaketh: the Lorde which perfourmeth the thing that he taketh in hand: euen he, whose name is the Lorde: note crye vnto me, ∧ I wyll answere, and shewe the great and hye thinges, which were vnknowen vnto the.

Thus (I saye) spake the Lorde God of Israel, concerninge the houses of thys citye, and the houses of the kinges of Iuda, þt; they are broken thorowe the ordinaunce and the sweard. Because the enhabitours of this citie haue come to fight against the Chaldees: and they are fylled with the deed karcases of men, whom I haue sleyne in my wrath and displeasure: when I turned my face fr&obar; thys citye, because of all her wickednes. Behold, sayth the Lord, I wyll repayre ∧ heale their woundes, and make th&ebar; whole: I will open them the large treasure of peace and trueth.

And I will returne the captiuytie of Iuda and Israel: and wyll set them vp agayne as they were afore. noteFrom all mysdedes, wherin they haue offended ag&ebar;st me, I will clense th&ebar;. And all their blasphemyes which they haue done agaynst me, wh&ebar; they regarded me not, I will forgeue them.

B   And thys shall get me a name, a prayse, ∧ honoure among all the people of the earth, which shall heare all the good, that I wyll shewe vnto them: yee, they shall be afrayed and astonyed at all the good dedes and benefytes that I wyll do for them. Moreouer, thus sayth the Lorde: note In this place, wherof ye saye that it shalbe a wyldernes, wherin nether people ner catell shall dwell: in like maner in the cityes of Iuda ∧ without Ierusalem (which also shalbe so voyde, that nether people ner catell shall dwell there) shall þe; voyce of gladnes be hearde agayne, the voyce of the brydegrome ∧ of the bryde, the voyce of them that shall singe: note Prayse the Lorde of hoostes, for he is louynge and hys mercy endureth for euer: and the voyce of them that shall offer vp giftes in the house of the Lorde. For I will restore the captiuitie of this lande, as it was afore, sayth the Lorde. Thus sayeth the Lorde of hoostes: It shall come yet therto, that in thys lande, which is voyde from men and catell, and in all the cityes of the lande, there shalbe set vp shepherdes cotages: in the cityes vpon the

mountaynes: and in the cyties that lye vpon the playne, and in the cyties of the southe.

In the lande of BenIamin, in the feldes of Ierusalem, and in the cyties of Iuda shall the shepe be nombred agayne, vnder þe; hande of hym, C   that telleth them, sayeth the Lorde note Beholde, the tyme c&obar;meth, sayeth the Lorde, that I will perfourme that good thynge, which I haue promised vnto the house of Israel and to the house of Iuda. In those dayes and at þe; same tyme, I wyll bring forth vnto Dauid, the braunche of ryghtuousnes, ∧ he shall do equytie ∧ righteousnesse in the lande. In those dayes shall Iuda be helped note and Ierusalem shall dwell safe, and he that shall call her is eu&ebar; God oure ryghteousnesse. For thus the Lorde promyseth. noteDauid shall neuer want one, to syt vpon the throne of the house of Israel: note nether shall the prestes and Leuites w&abar;t one to offre allwaye before me burntofferinges, to kyndle the meatofferynges, and to prepare the sacrifyces.

D   And the worde of the Lord came vnto Ieremy after this maner. Thus sayeth þe; Lord: maye the c&obar;uena&ubar;t note which I haue made &wt; daye and nyght be broken, that there shulde not be daye and nyght in due season? Then maye my couena&ubar;t also be broken, which I made &wt; Dauid my serua&ubar;te, and so he not to haue a sonne to reygne in hys throne. note so shall also þe; prestes ∧ Leuites neuer fayle, but serue me. noteFor lyke as þe; starres of heauen maye not be n&obar;bred, nether the sande of þe; see measured: so wyll I multiplye þe; sede of Dauid my serua&ubar;t, ∧ the Leuites my ministers.

Moreouer, the worde of the Lorde came to Ieremy, saying: C&obar;sydrest thou not what this people speaketh? Two kynreddes (saye they) had the Lorde chosen, ∧ those same two hath he cast awaye. For so they haue despised my people ∧ they reputed th&ebar; as though they were no people, Therfore thus saieth þe; Lorde: If I haue made no couena&ubar;t with daye ∧ nyght, ∧ geu&ebar; no statute vnto heau&ebar; ∧ earth: th&ebar; will I also cast awaye the sede of Iacob ∧ Dauid my serua&ubar;t: so þt; I will take no pr&ibar;ce out of his sede, to rule þe; posteritie of Abrah&abar;, Isaac ∧ Iacob. But yet I wil turne agayne their captiuitie, ∧ be mercyfull vnto them.
