Chap. I.
Vve haue to reioyce in persecution (but if vve be patient, and vvithal absteine from
al mortal sinne) 9 considering hovv vve shal be exalted and crovvned for it,
vvhen the persecutor (vvho enricheth him self vvith our spoiles) shal fade
avvay. 13 But if any be tempted to fall, or to any other euil, let him not
say, God is the author of it, vvho is the author of al good onely. 19 Such
points of the Cath. faith vve must be content to learne vvithout contradiction
and anger, and to doe accordingly. 26 Because othervvise vve may talke of
Religion, but in deede it is no Religion.
1 Iames the seruant of God and of our
Lord Iesvs Christ, to the tvvelue tribes
that are in dispersion, greeting.
2 noteEsteeme it, my brethren, al ioy,
vvhen you shal fall into diuers tentati&obar;s:
3 knovving that note the probati&obar; of your
faith vvorketh patience.
4 And let patience
haue a perfect vvorke: that you may be perfect & entire,
failing in nothing.
5 But if any of you lacke vvisedom,
let him aske of God who giueth to al men aboundantly,
and vpbraideth not: and it shal be giuen him.
6 But note let
him09Q1410 aske in faith nothing doubting. for he that doubteth,
is like to a vvaue of the sea, vvhich is moued & caried about
by the vvinde.
7 therfore let not that man thinke that he shal
-- --
receiue any thing of our Lord.
8 A man double of minde
is inconstant in al his vvaies.
9 But let the humble brother glorie, in his exaltation.
10 and the riche, in his humilitie, because note as the floure of
grasse shal he passe:
11 for the sunne rose vvith heate, & parched
the grasse, and the floure of it fel avvay, and the beautie
of the shape thereof perished: so the riche man also shal
vvither in his vvaies. note
12 Blessed is the man that suffereth tentation:
for vvhen he hath been proued, he shal receiue the
crovvne of life, vvhich God hath promised to them that
loue him. &cross4;
13 09Q1411Let no man vvhen he is tempted, say that he is tempted
of God. for09Q1412 God is not a tempter of euils, and he tempteth
no man.
14 But note euery one is tempted of his ovvne c&obar;cupiscence
abstracted and allured.
15 Aftervvard09Q1413 concupiscence
vvhen it hath c&obar;ceiued, bringeth forth sinne. but09Q1414 sinne
vvhen it is consummate, ingendreth death.
16 noteDo not erre therfore my deerest brethren.
17 Euery best
gift, and euery perfect gift, is from aboue, descending from
the Father of lightes, vvith vvhom is no transmutation, nor
shadovving of alteration.
18 Voluntarily hath he begotten
vs by the vvord of truth, that vve may be some beginning of
his creature. &cross4;
19 You knovv my deerest brethren, And note let euery
man be svvift to heare: but slovv to speake, and slovv to
anger.
20 For the anger of man vvorketh not the iustice of
God.
21 For the vvhich thing casting avvay al vncleannesse and
aboundance of malice, in meekenesse receiue the engraffed
vvord, vvhich is able to saue your soules. &cross4; note
22 But note be doers
of the vvord, and not hearers only, deceauing your selues.
23 For if a man be a hearer of the vvord, and not a doer: he shal
be compared to a man beholding the countenance of his natiuitie
in a glasse.
24 For he considered him self, and vvent
his vvay, and by and by forgat vvhat an one he vvas.
25 But
he that hath looked in09Q1415 the lavv of perfect libertie, and hath
remained in it, not made a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the
vvorke: this man shal be note blessed in his deede.
26 And if
any man thinke him self to be religious, not bridling his
tong, but seducing his hart: this mans religion is vaine.
27 09Q1416Religion cleane and vnspotted vvith God and the Father,
-- --
is this, to visite pupilles and vvidovves in their tribulation: &
to keepe him self vnspotted from this vvorld. &cross4;
