1    ^noteAnd Peter and Iohn vvent vp into the temple, at the ^note ninthe houre of praier.

2   And a certaine man that vvas lame from his mothers vvombe, vvas caried: vvhom they laid euery day at the gate of the temple, that is called Specious, that he might aske almes of them that vvent into the

temple.

3   He, vvhen he had seen Peter and Iohn about to enter into the temple, asked to receiue an almes.

4   But Peter vvith Iohn looking vpon him, said, Looke vpon vs.

5   But he looked earnestly vpon them, hoping that he should receiue some thing of them.

6   But Peter said, Siluer and gold I haue not, but09Q0871 that vvhich I haue, the same I giue to thee: In the name of Iesvs Christ of Nazareth arise, and vvalke.

7   And taking his right hand, he lifted him vp, and forth vvith his feete and soles vvere made strong.

8   And springing he stoode, and vvalked: and vvent in vvith them into the temple vvalking, and leaping, and praising God.

9   And al the people savv him vvalking and praising God.

10   And they knevv him, that, it vvas he vvhich sate for almes at the Specious gate of the temple: and they vvere excedingly astonied and agast at that that had cha&ubar;ced to him.

11   And as he held Peter and Iohn, al the people ranne to them vnto the porche vvhich is called Salomons, vvondering.

12    ^noteBut Peter seing them, made ansvver to the people, Ye men of Israël, vvhy maruel you at this, or vvhy looke you vpon vs, as though09Q0872 by our povver or holines vve haue made this man to vvalke?

13   The God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Iacob, the God of our fathers hath glorified his sonne Iesvs, vvhom you in deede deliuered and denied before the face of Pilate, he iudging him to be released.

14   But you denied the holy and the iust one, ^note and asked a mankiller to be giuen vnto you.

15   but the authour of life you killed, vvhom God hath raised from the dead, of vvhich vve are vvitnesses.

16   And in the ^note faith of his name, this man vvhom you see and knovv, his name hath strengthened: & the faith vvhich is by him, hath giuen this perfect health in the sight of al you.

17   And novv (brethren) I knovv that you did it through ignor&abar;ce, as also your princes.

18   But God vvho foreshevved by the mouth of al the prophets, that his Christ should suffer, hath so fulfilled it.

19   Be Penitent therfore & conuert, that your sinnes may be put out. &cross4;

20   that, vvhen the times shal come of refreshing by the sight of our Lord, and he shal send him that hath been preached vnto you Iesvs Christ,

21    ^notevvhom ^note heauen truely must receiue vntil the times of the restitution of al things, vvhich God spake by the mouth of his holy prophets from the beginn&ibar;g of the world.

22   Moyses in deede said, That a prophet shal the Lord your God raise vp to you of your brethren, as my self: him you shal beare according to al things vvhatsoeuer he shal speake to you.

23   And it shal be, euery soule that shal not heare that prophet, shal be destroied out of the people. ^note

24   And al the Prophets from Samuël and aftervvard that haue spoken, told of these daies.

25   You are the children of the Prophets and of the testament vvhich God made to our fathers, saying to Abraham, And in thy seede shal al the families of the earth be blessed. ^note

26   To you first God raising vp his sonne, hath sent him blessing you: that euery one should conuert him self from his naughtines.
