Chap. I.
noteChrist novv ready to ascend, biddeth the Apostles to expect the Holy Ghost vvhich he had
promised, foretelling vvhere (being strengthened by him) they should begin his
Church, and hovv far they should cary it. 9 After his Ascension they are vvarned
by tvvo Angels to set their mindes vpon his second comming. 14 In the daies
of their expectation, 15 Peter beginneth to execute his vicarship, giuing instruction
and order, by vvhich Mathias is elected Apostle in the place of Iudas.
1 noteThe note first treatise I made of note al things,
O Theophilus, vvhich Iesvs began
to doe and to teache,
2 vntil the day
vvherein09Q0858 giuing commaundement by
the holy Ghost to the Apostles vvhom
he chose, he vvas assumpted:
3 to vvh&obar;
he shevved also him self aliue after his
passion in many arguments, for fourtie
daies appearing to them, & speaking of the kingdom of God.
4 And eating vvith them, note he commaunded them, that they
should not depart from Hierusalem, but should expect the
promisse of the Father, vvhich you note haue heard (saith he) by
my mouth:
5 for Iohn in deede baptized vvith note vvater, but
note you shal be note baptized vith the holy Ghost after these
fevv daies.
6 They therfore that vvere assembled, asked him,
saying, Lord, whether at this time vvilt thou restore the kingdom
to Israel?
7 but he said to them,09Q0859 It is not for you to
knovv times or moments, vvhich the Father hath put in his
ovvne povver:
8 but you shal receiue the note vertue of the
holy Ghost comming vpon you, and you shal be vvitnesses
vnto me in Hierusalem, and in al Ievvrie, and Samaria, and
euen to the vtmost of the earth.
9 And note vvhen he had said
these things, in their sight he vvas eleuated: and a cloud receiued
him out of their sight.
10 And vvhen they beheld him
going into heauen, behold tvvo men stoode beside them in
vvhite garments,
11 vvho also said, Ye men of Galilee, vvhy
-- --
stand you looking into heauen? This Iesvs vvhich is
09Q0860 assumpted from you into heauen, shal so come as you haue
seen him going into heauen. &cross4;
12 Then they returned to Hierusalem from the mount that
is called Oliuet, vvhich is by Hierusalem, distant a Sabboths
iourney.
13 And vvhen they vvere entred in, they vvent vp
into an vpper chamber, vvhere abode note Peter & Iohn, Iames
and Andrevv, Philippe and Thomas, Bartholomevv and
Mathevv, Iames of Alphæus and Simon Zelótes, and Iude
of Iames.
14 Al these vvere perseuéring vvith one minde in
praier vvith the note vvomen and09Q0861 Marie the mother of
Iesvs, and his brethren.
15 noteIn those daies09Q0862 Peter rising vp in the middes of the brethren,
said: (and the multitude of persons together, vvas almost
an hundred and tvventie)
16 You men, brethren,
the note scripture must be fulfilled vvhich the holy Ghost spake
before by the mouth of Dauid concerning Iudas, vvho vvas
the note captaine of them that apprehended Iesvs:
17 vvho
vvas numbred among vs and obteined the lot of this ministerie.
18 And he in deede hath possessed a note field of the revvard
of iniquitie, and being hanged he burst in the middes, and al
his bovvels gushed out.
19 And it vvas made notorious to
al the inhabitants of Hierusalem: so that the same field vvas
called in their tonge, Hacel-dema, that is to say, the field of bloud.
20 For it is vvritten in the booke of Psalmes. Be their habitation
made desert, and be there none to dvvel in it. And his Bishoprike let an other
take. note
21 Therfore, of these men that haue assembled vvith vs,
al the time that our Lord Iesvs vvent in and vvent out
among vs,
22 beginning from the baptisme of Iohn vntil the
day vvherein he vvas assumpted from vs, note there must one of
these be made a vvitnes vvith vs of his resurrection.
23 And they appointed tvvo, Ioseph, vvho vvas called
Bársabas, vvho vvas surnamed Iustus: and Mathias.
24 And
praying they said, Thou Lord that knovvest the harts of al
men, shevv of these tvvo, one, vvhom thou hast chosen,
25 to
take the place of this ministerie and Apostleship, from the
vvhich Iudas hath preuaricated that he might goe to his
ovvne place.
26 And they gaue them09Q0863 lottes, and the lot fel
vpon Mathias, and he vvas numbered vvith the eleuen
Apostles. &cross4;
