8:1	Saul consented vnto hys death. And at that tyme there was a greate persecucyon agaynst the congregacyon which was at Ierusalem, and they were all scatered abrode thorowout the regyons of Iewry and Samaria, except the apostles.
8:2	But deuout men dressed Steuen, and made great lamentacyon ouer hym.
8:3	As for Saul he made hauocke of the congregacyon, and entred into euery house, and drew out both men and women, and thrust them into preson.
8:4	Therfore, they that were scatered abrode, went euery where preachyng the worde of God.
8:5	Then came Philip into a cytie of Samaria, & preached Christ vnto them.
8:6	And the people gaue hede vnto those thynges which Philip spake wt one accord, hearyng & seyng the myracles whych he dyd.
8:7	For vncleane spretes cryinge with loude voyce, came out of many that were possessed of them. And many taken wt palsyes, & many that halted, were healed.
8:8	And ther was great ioye in that cyte.
8:9	But ther was a certen man called Symo, which before tyme in the same cytye vsed witchecrafte, and bewitched the people of Samary, saying that he was a man that coulde do great thynges.
8:10	Whom they regarded, from the lest to the greatest, sayinge: this man is the power of God, which is called greate.
8:11	And him they sett moche by, because that of longe tyme he had bewitched them with sorceries.
8:12	But assone as they gaue credence to Philippes preachyng of the kyngdome of God, & of the name of Iesu Christ, they were baptysed both men & wemen.
8:13	Then Simon hym selfe beleued also. And whan he was baptised, he continued wt Philip, and wondred, beholding the miracles & sygnes, which were shewed.
8:14	When the apostles which were at Ierusalem herd saye, that Samary had receaued the word of God, they sent vnto them Peter & Iohn.
8:15	Which whan they were come downe, prayed for them, that they might receaue the holy ghost.
8:16	For as yet he was come on no one of them: but they were baptysed onely in the name of Christ Iesu.
8:17	Then layd they their handes on them, & they receaued the holy ghos
8:18	When Simon sawe that thorow laying on of the apostles handes, the holy ghost was geuen, he offered them money,
8:19	saying: geue me also this power, that on whomsoeuer I put the handes, he maye receaue the holy ghost.
8:20	But Peter sayd vnto him: thy money perisshe with the, because thou hast thought that the gift of God maye be obteyned with money.
8:21	Thou hast nether parte, nor felowshyp in thys busynes. For thy hert is not ryght in the syght of God.
8:22	Repente therfore of thys thy wyckednes, & praye God, that the thought of thyne herte maye be forgeuen the.
8:23	For I perceaue that thou art full of bitter gall, and wrapped in iniquite.
8:24	Then answered Simon & sayde: praye ye to the Lorde for me, that none of these thynges which ye haue spoken, fall on me.
8:25	And they when they had testifyed and preached the worde of God, returned towarde Ierusalem, and preached the gospell in many cyties of the Samaritans.
8:26	The aungell of the Lorde spake vnto Philip, saying: aryse, & go toward the south vnto the waye that goeth downe from Ierusalem vnto the cyte of Gaza, which is in the desert.
8:27	And he arose, & went on. And behold, a man of Ethiopia (a chamberlene, & of greate auctorite with Candace quene of the Ethiopians, & had the rule of al her treasure came to Ierusalem for to worshyp.
8:28	And as he returned home agayne syttinge in hys charet, he red Esay the prophete.
8:29	Then the sprete sayd vnto Philip: go neare, and ioyne thy self to yonder charet.
8:30	And Philip ran to hym, and heard him reade the prophete Esay, and sayd: Understandest thou what thou readest?
8:31	And he said: How can I, except I had a gyde? And he desyred Philip, that he wolde come vp, and sytt with hym.
8:32	The tenoure of the scripture which he read, was this: He was led as a shepe to be slayne: and lyke a lambe domme before his shearer, so opened he not his mouth.
8:33	Because of hys humblenes, he was not estemed. But who shal declare hys generacion? for his lyfe is taken from the earth.
8:34	The chamberlayn answered Philip, and sayd: I praye the of whom speaketh the prophete thys? of hym selfe, or of some other man?
8:35	Philip opened hys mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached vnto hym Iesus.
8:36	And as they went on theyr waye, they cam vnto a certen water, and the chamberlayne said: Se, here is water what doth let me to be baptysed?
8:37	Philip sayde vnto him: If thou beleue with all thyne hert, thou mayest. And he answered, and sayde: I beleue that Iesus Christ is the sonne of God.
8:38	And he commaunded the charet to stande styll. And they went downe both into the water: both Philip and also the chamberlayn, and he baptysed hym.
8:39	And assone as they were come out of the water, the sprete of the Lord caught awaye Philip, and the chamberlayn sawe him nomore. And he went on hys waye reioysinge:
8:40	but Philip was founde at Azotus. And he walked thorowout the countre, preaching in all the cyties, tyll he came to Cesarea.


8:1	But Saul was consentynge to his deth. And greet persecucioun was maad that dai in the chirche, that was in Jerusalem. And alle men weren scatered bi the cuntrees of Judee and Samarie, outakun the apostlis.
8:2	But good men birieden Steuene, and maden greet mornyng on hym.
8:3	But Saul greetli distruyede the chirche, and entryde bi housis, and drowe men and wymmen, and bitook hem in to prisoun.
8:4	And thei that weren scaterid, passiden forth, prechynge the word of God.
8:5	And Filip cam doun in to a citee of Samarie, and prechide to hem Crist.
8:6	And the puple yaf tent to thes thingis that weren seid of Filip, with o wille herynge and seynge the signes that he dide.
8:7	For manye of hem that hadden vnclene spirits, crieden with a greet vois, and wenten out.
8:8	And manye sijk in the palsi, and crokid, weren heelid.
8:9	Therfor greet ioye was maad in that citee. But there was a man in that citee, whos name was Symount, a witche, that hadde disseyued the folc of Samarie, seiynge, that him silf was sum greet man.
8:10	Whom alle herkeneden, fro the leest to the moost, and seiden, This is the vertu of God, which is clepid greet.
8:11	And thei leueden hym, for long tyme he hadde maddid hem with his witche craftis.
8:12	But whanne thei hadden bileued to Filip, `that prechide of the kingdom of God, men and wymmen weren baptisid in the name of Jhesu Crist.
8:13	And thanne also Symount him silf bileued; and whanne he was baptisid, he drouy to Filip; and he sai also that signes and grete vertues weren don, he was astonyed, and wondride.
8:14	But whanne the apostlis that weren at Jerusalem, hadden herd that Samarie hadde resseyued the word of God, thei senten to hem Petre and Joon.
8:15	And whanne thei camen, thei preieden for hem, that thei schulden resseyue the Hooli Goost;
8:16	for he cam not yit in to ony of hem, but thei weren baptisid oonli in the name of the Lord Jhesu.
8:17	Thanne thei leiden hoondis on hem, and thei resseyueden the Hooli Goost.
8:18	And whanne Symount hadde seyn, that the Hooly Goost was youun bi leiyng on of the hoondis of the apostlis, and he proferide to hem money, and seide,
8:19	Yyue ye also to me this power, that whom euere Y schal leye on myn hoondis, that he resseyue the Hooli Goost.
8:20	But Petir seide to hym, Thi money be with thee into perdicioun, for thou gessidist the yifte of God schulde be had for monei.
8:21	Ther is no part, ne sort to thee, in this word, for thin herte is not riytful bifor God.
8:22	Therfor do thou penaunce for this wickidnesse of thee, and preie God, if perauenture this thouyt of thin herte be foryouun to thee.
8:23	For Y se that thou art in the gall of bitternesse and in the boond of wickidnesse.
8:24	And Symount answeride, and seide, Preie ye for me to the Lord, that no thing of these thingis that ye han seid, com on me.
8:25	And thei witnessiden, and spaken the word of the Lord, and yeden ayen to Jerusalem, and prechiden to many cuntrees of Samaritans.
8:26	And an aungel of the Lord spak to Filip, and seide, Ryse thou, and go ayens the south, to the weie that goith doun fro Jerusalem in to Gasa; this is desert.
8:27	And he roos, and wente forth. And lo! a man of Ethiopie, a myyti man seruaunt, a yelding of Candace, the queen of Ethiopiens, which was on alle her richessis, cam to worschipe in Jerusalem.
8:28	And he turnede ayen, sittinge on his chare, and redinge Isaie, the profete.
8:29	And the spirit seide to Filip, Neiye thou, and ioyne thee to this chare.
8:30	And Filip `ran to, and herde hym redynge Ysaie, the prophete. And he seide, Gessist thou, whether thou vndirstondist, what thingis thou redist?
8:31	And he seide, How may Y, if no man schewe to me? And he preiede Filip, that he schulde come vp, and sitte with hym.
8:32	And the place of the scripture that he redde, was this, As a scheep he was led to sleyng, and as a lomb bifor a man that scherith him is doumb with out vois, so he openyde not his mouth.
8:33	In mekenesse his dom was takun vp; who schal telle out the generacioun of hym? For his lijf schal be takun awei fro the erthe.
8:34	And the gelding answeride to Filip, and seide, Y biseche thee, of `what profete seith he this thing? of him silf, ethir of ony othere?
8:35	And Filip openyde his mouth, and bigan at this scripture, and prechide to him Jhesu.
8:36	And the while thei wenten bi the weie, thei camen to a water. And the gelding seide, Lo! watir; who forbedith me to be baptisid?
8:37	And Filip seide, If thou bileuest of al the herte, it is leueful. And he answeride, and seide, Y bileue that Jhesu Crist is the sone of God.
8:38	And he comaundide the chare to stonde stille. And thei wenten doun bothe into the watir, Filip and the gelding, and Filip baptiside hym.
8:39	And whanne thei weren come vp of the watir, the spirit of the Lord rauyschide Filip, and the gelding say hym no more.
8:40	And Filip was foundun in Azotus; and he passide forth, and prechide to alle citees, til he cam to Cesarie.


8:1	Saul had pleasure in his death. At ye same tyme there was a greate persecucion ouer the congregacion at Ierusale. And they were all scatered abrode in the regions of Iewrye & Samaria, excepte the Apostles.
8:2	As for Steuen, men yt feared God dressed him, and made greate lamentacion ouer him.
8:3	But Saul made hauocke of the congregacion, entred in to euery house, and drue out men & wemen, & delyuered the to preson.
8:4	They now yt were scatered abrode wete aboute & preached the worde.
8:5	The came Philippe in to a cite of Samaria, and preached Christ vnto them.
8:6	And the people gaue hede with one acorde vnto ye thinges that Philip spake, hearinge him, and seynge the tokes that he dyd.
8:7	For the vncleane spretes cryed loude, and departed out of many yt were possessed. And many that were sicke of the palsie and lame, were healed.
8:8	And there was greate ioye in the same cite.
8:9	But afore there was in ye same cite a certayne ma, called Simon, which vsed witche craft, and bewitched ye people of Samaria, sayenge, that he was a man which coulde do greate thinges.
8:10	And they all regarded him from the leest vnto ye greatest, & sayde: This is the power of God which is greate.
8:11	But they regarded him, because that of longe tyme he had bewitched them with his sorcery.
8:12	Howbeit whan they beleued Philips preachinge of ye kyngdome of God, and of the name of Iesu Christ, they were baptysed both me & weme.
8:13	Then Symon himself beleued also, and was baptysed, and cleued vnto Philippe. And wha he sawe the dedes and tokens that were done, he wondred.
8:14	Whan the Apostles which were at Ierusalem, herde, that Samaria had receaued ye worde of God, they sent vnto the Peter and Ihon.
8:15	Which, wha they were come, prayed for the, yt they might receaue the holy goost.
8:16	For as yet he was come vpon none of them but they were baptysed onely in the name of Christ Iesu.
8:17	Then layed they their hades on them, and they receaued the holy goost.
8:18	But whan Simon sawe, that by the layenge on of the Apostles hades ye holy goost was geuen, he offred the money,
8:19	and sayde: Geue me also this power, that, on whomsoeuer I put the hodes, he maye receaue the holy goost.
8:20	Howbeit Peter sayde vnto him: Perishe thou with thy money, because thou thinkest that ye gifte of God maye be optayned with money.
8:21	Thou shalt haue nether parte ner felashipe in this worde, for yi hert is not righte before God.
8:22	Repente therfore of this yi wickednesse, and praye vnto God, yf happly the thought of thy hert maye be forgeue ye.
8:23	For I se, yt thou art full of bytter gall, and wrapped in wt vnrighteousnesse.
8:24	Then answered Simon, & sayde: Praye ye vnto the LORDE for me, yt none of these thinges wherof ye haue spoken, come vpon me.
8:25	And they, wha they had testified and spoke the worde of the LORDE, turned agayne to Ierusalem, and preached the Gospell in many townes of the Samaritanes.
8:26	But the angell of the LORDE spake vnto Philippe, and sayde: Aryse, & go towarde the South, vnto the waye that goeth downe from Ierusalem vnto Gaza, which is deserte.
8:27	And he rose, and wente on. And beholde, a ma of the Morians lode (a chamberlayne and of auctorite with Candace ye quene of the londe of the Morians) which had the rule of all hir treasuries, ye same came to Ierusale to worshipe.
8:28	And returned home agayne, and satt vpon his charet, and red the prophet Esay.
8:29	The sprete sayde vnto Philippe: Go neare, and ioyne thy selfe to yonder charet.
8:30	The ranne Philippe vnto him, and herde him rede the prophet Esay, and sayde: Vnderstodest thou what thou readest?
8:31	He sayde: How can I, excepte some ma enfourme me?And he desyred Philippe, that he wolde come vp, and syt with him.
8:32	The tenoure of the scripture which he red, was this: He was led as a shepe to be slayne, and as a lambe voycelesse before his sherer, so opened he not his mouth.
8:33	In his humblenesse is his iudgment exalted. Who shal declare his generacion? for his life is taken awaye from the earth.
8:34	Then answered the chamberlayne vnto Philippe, and sayde: I praye the, of whom speaketh the prophet this? of himselfe, or of some other man?
8:35	Philippe opened his mouth, and beganne at this scripture, and preached him the Gospell of Iesus.
8:36	And as they wete on their waye, they came to a water. And the chamberlayne sayde: Beholde, here is water, what hyndereth me to be baptysed?
8:37	Philippe sayde: Yf thou beleue from thy whole herte, thou mayest. He answered, and sayde: I beleue, that Iesus Christ is the sonne of God.
8:38	And he commaunded to holde styll the charet, and they wente downe in to the water, both Philippe and the chamberlayne. And he baptysed him.
8:39	But whan they were come vp out of the water, the sprete of the LORDE toke Philippe awaye. And the Chamberlayne sawe him nomore. But he wente on his waye reioysinge.
8:40	As for Philippe, he was founde at Assdod, and walked aboute, and preached the Gospell vnto all the cities, tyll he came to Cesarea.
