Chap. XLVIII.
note
Praises of Elias, 13. Eliseus, 19. Ezechias, 23. and Isaias.
-- --
1 And there arose Elias the prophet, as it were fire, and
his word burnt as a litle torche.
2 Who brought famine
vpon them, and they prouoking him in their enuie, were
made fewe. for they could not abide the preceptes of our
Lord.
3 By the word of our Lord he stayed heauen, and he
brought downe fire from heauen note thrise.
4 So was Elias
magnified in his meruelous workes. And who can so glorie
like vnto thee?
5 Who didst rayse vp the dead from hel,
from the lotte of death, in the word of our Lord God.
6 Who didst cast downe kinges to destruction, and didst
easily breake their might, and the glorious from their bed.
7 Who hearest iudgement in Sina, and in Horeb iudgementes
of defence.
8 Who anoyntest kinges to repentance, and
makest prophetes successoures after thee.
9 Who wast receiued
in a whirlewind of fire, in a chariot of fierie horses.
10 09Q0299Who art written in the iudgements of times, to appease
the wrath of our Lord, to reconcile the hart of the father to
the sonne, and to restore the tribes of Iacob.
11 Blessed are
they, that saw thee, and were honored in thy freindshipe.
12 For we liue by life only, but after death our name shal not
be such.
13 Elias was in dede hid in the whirlewind, & his spirit
was complete in Eliseus: in his daies he feared not the prince,
and no man ouercame him by might.
14 Neither did any word
ouercome him, and his bodie note prophecied being dead.
15 In
his life he did wonders, and in death he wrought meruelous
thinges.
16 In al these thinges the people repented not, and
they departed not from their sinnes, til they were cast out of
their land, and were dispersed into al the earth.
17 And there
was leaft a verie smal nation, and a prince in the house of
Dauid.
18 Some of them did that which pleased God: but
others committed manie sinnes.
19 Ezechias fenced his citie,
and brough in water into the middes thereof, and digged a
rocke with yron, and built a wel for water.
20 In his daies
came vp Sennacherib, and sent Rabsaces, and lifted vp his
hand against them, and put forth his hand vpon Sion, and
became proude by his mightines.
21 Then were their harts,
and hands moued: and they were in sorow as trauailing
wemen.
22 And they inuocated our merciful Lord, and spredding
their handes, they lifted them vp to heauen: and the
holie Lord God note quickly heard their voice.
23 He was not
mindful of their sinnes, neither did he geue them to their
-- --
enemies, but purged them by the hand of Isaie the holie prophete.
24 He ouerthrew the campe of the Assirians, and the
Angel of our Lord destroyed them.
25 For Ezechias did that
which pleased God, and went strongly in the way of Dauid his
father, which Isaie commanded him, the great prophet, and
faithful in the sight of God.
26 In his daies the sunne returned
backward, & added life to the king.
27 By a great spirite he saw
the last thinges, and comforted the mourners in Sion.
28 For
euer he shewed the thinges to come, & secret thinges before
they came to passe.
