A   When all these wordes are come vpon the, the blessynge and the curse which I haue set before the, thou shalt turne vnto thine hert, amonge all the nacy&obar;s whether the Lorde thy God hath thruste the, and come agayne vnto the Lorde thy God, and herken vnto his voyce in all these thynges that I commaunde the thys daye: thou ∧ thy chyldren wythall thyne herte and all thy soule: And the Lord thy God wyll turne thy captiuite, and haue compassyon vpon the, ∧ wyll turne, and fet the agayne fr&obar; all the nacions, amonge whych the Lorde thy God shall haue scatered the. Though thou wast cast vnto the extreme partes of heauen: euen from thence wyll the Lorde thy God gether the, ∧ fr&obar; thence wyll he fett the, ∧ the Lorde thy God wyll brynge the into the lande whych thy fathers possessed, ∧ thou shalt enioye it. And he wyll shewe the kyndnesse, and multiplie the aboue thy fathers. ^noteAnd the Lorde thy God wyll circumcyse thyne hert, B   and the hert of thy seed, that þu; mayest loue the Lord thy God wythall thyne hert, and all thy soule, þt; thou mayst lyue. And the Lord thy God wyll put all these curses vpon thyne enemyes, and on them þt; hate the, ∧ þt; persecute the.

But thou shalt turne, and herk&ebar; vnto the voyce of the Lorde, and do all hys comma&ubar;dem&ebar;tes, which I comma&ubar;de the thys daye. And the Lord thy God wyll make the plenteous in all the workes of thyne hande, in the frute of thy bodye, and in the frute of thy catell, and in the frute of thy lande for thy welth. ^noteFor the Lorde wyll turne agayne and reioyse ouer the to do the good, as he reioysed ouer thy fathers: If thou herk&ebar; onely vnto the voyce of the Lord thy God, to kepe his commaundementes and his ordina&ubar;ces whych are wrytten in the boke of this lawe, and yf thou turne vnto the Lorde thy God wythall thyne hert and all thy soule.

C    ^noteFor the commaundement which I c&obar;maunde the this daye, is not separated from the, nether farre of. It is not in heauen, that thou neadest to (complayne ∧) saye: who shall go vp for vs to heau&ebar;, and fet it vs, that we maye heare it, and do it? Nether is it bey&obar;de the see: that thou shuldest saye: who shall go ouer the see for vs, and fet it vs, þt; we maye heare it, and do it? But the worde is very nye vnto the: eu&ebar; in thy mouth and in thyne hert, that thou do it.

^noteBeholde I haue set before the this daye lyfe and good, death and euell: For where as I commaunde the thys daye, to loue the Lorde thy God, to walke in hys wayes, and to kepe hys commaundementes, his ordinaunces, and hys lawes (yf thou so do) þu; shalt lyue and multiplye, and the Lorde thy God shall blesse the in þt; lande, whether thou goest to possesse it.

D   But and yf thyne herte turne awaye, so that þu; wylt not heare: but shalt goo astraye, and worshyppe straunge goddes, and serue them, I pronounce vnto you also this daye, that ye shall surely perysh, and that ye shall not prolonge youre dayes vpon the lande whether thou passest ouer Iordan, to go and possesse it.

^noteI call heauen ∧ erth to recorde this daye agaynst you, that I haue set before you lyfe and death, blessynge ∧ cursynge:Therfore chose lyfe, that both thou and thy seed maye lyue, that þu; mayest loue the Lorde thy God, and be obedient to hys voyce, ∧ cleaue vnto him. For he is thy lyfe, and the length of thy dayes, that thou mayst dwell vpon the erth whych the Lorde sware vnto thy fathers: Abraham, Isahac and Iacob, to geue them.
