| 10:4 | When he loked on hym, he was afrayde, and sayd: what is it Lorde? He sayde vnto him: Thy prayers & thy almeses are come vp into remembraunce before God. |

| 10:16 | This was done threse, and the vessell was receaued vp agayne into heauen. |
| 10:17 | Whyle Peter also mused in him self what thys visyon (which he had sene) meant: beholde, the men which were sent from Cornelius had made inquirance for Simons house, and stode before the dore: |
| 10:18 | and called out one, and asked whether Simon which was syrnamed Peter were lodged there. |

| 10:20 | aryse therfore, and get the downe, & go with them, & dowte not for I haue sent them. |
| 10:21 | Peter went downe to the men which were sent vnto hym from Cornelius and sayd: Behold, I am he whom ye seke, what is the cause wherfore ye are come? |

| 10:25 | And as it chaunsed Peter to come in, Cornelius mete hym, and fell downe at hys fete, & worshypped hym. |
| 10:26 | But Peter toke hym vp, sayinge: stande vp, I my selfe also am a man. |

| 10:29 | therfore came I vnto you without delaye, assone as I was sent for. I aske therfore, for what intent haue ye sent for me. |
| 10:30 | And Cornelius sayd: This daye now .iiij. dayes about this houre, I sat fasting, and at the nynthe houre I prayde in my house: and behold, a man stode before me in bryght clothynge, |
| 10:31 | and sayde: Cornelius, thy prayer is heard, and thyne almes dedes are had in remembraunce in the syght of God. |
| 10:32 | Sende men therfore to go to Ioppa, and call for Symon, whose syrname is Peter. He is lodged in the house of one Symon a tanner by the see syde: which assone as he is come, shall speake vnto the. |

| 10:38 | how God anoynted Iesus of Nazareth wt the holy ghost, and with power. Which Iesus went about doynge good, and healynge all that were oppressed of the deuyll, for God was with him. |
| 10:39 | And we are witnes of all thinges which he dyd in the lande of the Iewes and at Ierusalem: whom they slewe, and hanged on tre. |

| 10:41 | not to all the people, but vnto vs witnesses (chosen before of God for the same intent) which dyd eate & dryncke wt him, after he arose from deeth. |

| 10:43 | To hym geue all the prophetes witnes, that thorowe hys name whosoeuer beleueth in him, shall receaue remissyon of synnes. |
| 10:44 | Whyle Peter yet spake these wordes, the holy ghost fell on all them which heard the preachyng. |
| 10:45 | And they of the circumcisyon which beleued, were astonnied, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentils also was shed out the gyft of the holy ghost. |
| 10:46 | For they hearde them speake with tonges, & magnify God. Then answered Peter: |
| 10:47 | can eny man forbyd water, that these shuld not be baptysed, which haue receaued the holy ghost as well as we? |
| 10:48 | And he commaunded them to be baptysed in the name of the Lord. Then prayd they him, to tary a few dayes. |

| 10:10 | And whan he was hogrie, he wolde haue eate. But whyle they made ready for him, he fell into a traunce, |
| 10:11 | and sawe heaue open, and a vessell comynge downe vnto him, as it had bene a greate lynne clothe, knytt at the foure corners, and was let downe to ye earth, |

| 10:16 | This was done thryse. And ye vessell was receaued vp agayne in to heauen. |
| 10:17 | But whyle Peter was combred in him selfe, what maner of vision this shulde be which he had sene, beholde, the men yt were sent from Cornelius, enquered after Simos house, and stode before the dore, |
| 10:18 | and called, and axed whether Simon (whose syrname was Peter) were lodged there. |
| 10:19 | Whyle Peter was musinge of the vision, the sprete sayde vnto him:beholde, the men seke the. |
| 10:20 | Aryse therfore, and get the downe, & go with the, and doute not, for I haue sent them. |

| 10:23 | Then called he them in, and lodged them.The nexte daye after wente Peter forth with them, and certayne brethren of Ioppa bare him company. |
| 10:24 | And ye daye folowinge came they to Cesarea. Cornelius wayted for the, and had called together his kynssfolkes and speciall frendes. |
| 10:25 | And as it chaunced yt Peter came in, Cornelius mett him, and fell downe at his fete, & worshipped him. |
| 10:26 | But Peter toke him vp, and sayde: Stonde vp, I am a man also. |
| 10:27 | And as he talked wt him, he wente in, and founde many that were come together, |
| 10:28 | and he sayde vnto them: Ye knowe, that it is not laufull for a man beynge a Iewe to ioyne him selfe or to come to a straunger. But God hath shewed me, yt I shulde call no ma comen or vncleane. |
| 10:29 | Therfore haue I not douted to come, as soone as I was sent for. I axe you therfore, for what intent haue ye sent for me? |
| 10:30 | Cornelius sayde: It is now foure dayes agoo, then fasted I, and at the nyenth houre I prayed in my house, and beholde, there stode a ma before me in a bryghte clothinge, |
| 10:31 | and sayde: Cornelius, yi prayer is herde, and thine allmesse dedes are had in remebraunce iu the sighte of God. |
| 10:32 | Sende therfore to Ioppa, and call for one Simon (whose syrname is Peter) which is at lodginge in ye house of Simon ye taner, by the see syde: ye same wha he commeth, shal speake vnto ye. |

| 10:34 | Peter opened his mouth, & sayde: Now perceaue I of a trueth, that God hath no respecte of personnes, |
| 10:35 | but in all people he yt feareth him, and worketh righteousnes, is accepted vnto him. |
| 10:36 | Ye knowe of ye preachinge that God sent vnto the children of Israel, preachinge thorow Iesus Christ (which is LORDE ouer all) |
| 10:37 | which preachinge was published thorow out all Iewry, and begane in Galile after ye baptyme that Ihon preached, |
| 10:38 | how God anoynted the same Iesus of Nazareth with the holy goost and wt power, which wente aboute, & dyd good, and healed all those that were oppressed of the deuell, for God was with him. |
| 10:39 | And we are witnesses of all that he dyd in the londe of the Iewes, & at Ierusalem. Whom they slewe, and hanged on tre. |
| 10:40 | Him God raysed vp on the thirde daye, and caused him be openly shewed, |
| 10:41 | not to all the people, but to ye chosen witnesses of God euen vnto vs, which ate & dronke with him, after he was rysen vp from the deed. |
| 10:42 | And he commaunded vs to preach vnto the people, and to testifye, that it is he which is ordeyned of God a iudge of the lyuynge and of the deed. |
| 10:43 | Of him beare all the prophetes wytnesse, that thorow his name all they yt beleue in him, shal receaue remyssion of synnes. |
| 10:44 | Whyle Peter was yet speakynge these wordes, the holy goost fell vpo all the that herkened vnto the worde. |
| 10:45 | And the faithfull of the circucision which came with Peter, were astonnyed, because that the gifte of ye holy goost was shed out also vpon the Heythen. |
| 10:46 | For they herde that they spake with tunges, and magnified God. The answered Peter: |
| 10:47 | Maye eny man forbydde water, that these shulde not be baptysed, which haue receaued the holy goost as well as we? |
| 10:48 | And he commaunded them to be baptysed in the name of the LORDE. The prayed they him, that he wolde tary there certayne dayes. |
