¶ The .xlviii. Chapter.
¶ The prayse of Eliah, Elizeus, Hezekiah, and Esay.
A Then stode vp note Eliah the prophet
as a fyre, ∧ his worde brent lyke
a creshet. He brought an honger
vpon them, ∧ in his zele he made
them fewe in nombre. For they myght not
awaye &wt; the c&obar;maundem&ebar;tes of the Lorde.
Thorowe the worde of the Lord he shut the
heauen, note ∧ thre tymes brought he the fyre
downe. Thus became Eliah honorable in
his wonderous dedes. Who maye make his
boast to be lyke him? noteOne that was deed
raysed he vp from death, and in the worde
of the hyest he brought him oute of the graue
agayne. He cast downe kynges and destroyed
them, ∧ the honorable fr&obar; their seate.
Upon the mounte Syna he herde the punyshement,
∧ vpon Horeb the iudgement of
the vengeaunce. He prophecyed recompensynge
vnto kynges, note ordeyned prophetes
after hym. noteHe was taken vp in þe; storme
of fyre, in a charet of horses of þe; Lorde. He
was ordyned in the reprouynges in tyme
to pacyfye the wrath of þe; Lord, note to turne
the hertes of the fathers vnto the chyldren,
and to sett vp the trybes of Iacob agayne.
Blessed were they that saw the, ∧ were garnyshed
in loue: for we lyue in lyfe: (but after
death we shall haue no such name.)
B noteElias was couered in þe; storme, but Helyseus
was fylled &wt; his sprete. Whyle he
lyued he was afrayed of no prynce, and no
man myght ouercome hym. There coulde
no worde disceaue hym, note ∧ after his death
his body prophecied. noteHe dyd w&obar;ders &ibar; his
lyfe, and in death were his workes maruelous.
For all this, þe; people am&ebar;ded not, nether
departed they fr&obar; theyr synnes: note tyll
they were caryed awaye presoners out of þe;
l&abar;de, ∧ were scatred abrode in all countrees,
so that of them there remayned, but a very
lytle people, and a prynce vnto the house of
Dauid. Howbeit some of them dyd ryght,
and some heaped vp vngodlynes.
C noteHezekias made his cytie str&obar;ge, c&obar;ueyed
water into it, dygged thorow þe; stony rocke
with yron, ∧ made vp a well by þe; water syde.
noteIn his tyme came Sennacheryb vp,
∧ sent Rabsakes, lyft vp his h&abar;de agaynst
Syon, and defyed them with greate pryde.
Then trymbled theyr hertes and h&abar;des, so
that they sorowed lyke a woman trauaylyng
with chylde. So they called vpon the
Lorde, which is mercyfull, ∧ lyft vp theyr
handes before hym. Immediatly the Lord
herde th&ebar; out of heauen: (he thought nomore
vp&obar; theyr synnes, ner gaue them ouer to
theyr enemyes:) but delyuered them by the
hande of Esay. noteHe smote the hoost of the
Assyrians, and his angell destroyed them.
For Hezekias had done þe; thyng that pleased
the Lorde, ∧ remayned stedfastly in the
waye of Dauid his father. Which Esaye
was greate ∧ faythfull in his visions. noteIn
his tyme the Sunne wente backwarde, and
he lengthened the kynges lyfe. With a ryghte
sprete prophecyed he, what shulde come
to passe at the last: and to soche as were
sorowful in Syon he gaue consolacyon,
-- --
wherwith they myght confort them selues
for euermore. He shewed thynges that were
for to come and secrete, or euer they came to
passe.
