The king must shewe his seruauntes the dreame and so shal we declare the interpretation therof 8 Then the king aunswered saying I perceaue of a trueth that ye would redeeme the time for so much as ye see the thing is gone fro me 9 Therfore if ye wil not tel me the dreame this is your only purpose ye haue prepared liyng corrupt wordes to speake before me til the time be chaunged therfore tell me the dreame that I may knowe that ye can declare me the interpretation therof 10 Vpon this the Chaldees gaue aunswere before the king and sayde There is no man vpon earth that can tell the thing which the king speaketh of yea there is neither king prince nor lorde that euer asked such thinges at a wyse man soothsayer or Chaldean 11 For it is a rare matter that the king requireth neither is there any that can certifie the king therof except the gods whose dwelling is not with fleshe 12 For the which cause the king was wroth with great indignation commaunded to destroy al the wise men at Babylon 13 So the decree went foorth and the wise men were slayne they sought also to slay Daniel with his companions 14 Then Daniel stayed the counsell and decree with Arioch the captayne of the kinges garde who was gone foorth to put to death the wise men of Babylon 15 He aunswered and sayde vnto Arioch the kinges captayne why is the sentence so hastie from the king Then Arioch tolde Daniel the matter 16 Vpon this went Daniel and desired the king that he woulde geue him leysure and that he would shewe the king the interpretation 17 Then Daniel went to his house and shewed the thing to Ananias Misael and Azarias his companions 18 That they shoulde beseche the God of heauen for grace in this secrete that Daniel and his felowes with other such as were wyse in Babylon perished not 19 Then was the secrete reuealed vnto Daniel in a vision by night then Daniel praysed the God of heauen 20 Daniel also aunswered and said The name of God be praysed for euer euer for wysdome and strength are his 21 He chaungeth the times and seasons he taketh away kinges he setteth vp kinges he geueth wysdome vnto the wyse and vnderstanding to those that vnderstande 22 He reuealeth the deepe secrete thinges he knoweth the thing that lieth in darknesse for the light dwelleth with him 23 I thanke thee and prayse thee O thou God of my fathers that thou hast geuen me wisdome and strength and hast shewed me now the thing that we desired of thee for thou hast declared the kinges matter vnto vs. 24 Vpon this went Daniel in vnto Arioch whom the king had ordeined to destroy the wise men at Babylon he went and sayde thus vnto him Destroy not the wyse men of Babylon but bring me before the king and I shall shewe the king the interpretation 25 Then Arioch brought Daniel before the king in all the haste and sayde thus vnto him I haue founde a man among the children of Iuda that were brought captiues that will declare vnto the king the interpretation 26 Then aunswered the king and sayd vnto Daniel whose name was Baltassar Art thou able to shewe me the dreame which I haue seene and the interpretation therof 27 Daniel aunswered in the presence of the king and sayd As for this secrete for the whiche the king maketh inquisition there can neither the men of vnderstanding nor soothsayers nor the wyse men nor readers of destinies declare it vnto the king 28 But there is a God in heauen that reuealeth secretes sheweth the king Nabuchodonozor what is for to come in the latter dayes Thy dreame and that whiche thou hast seene in thyne head vpon thy bed is this 29 O king when thou wast in thy bed thoughtes came into thy mynde what should come hereafter so he that is the opener of misteries telleth thee what is for to come 30 As for me this secrete is not shewed me for any wysdome that I haue more then any other liuing but onely that I might shew the king the interpretation and that thou mightest knowe the thoughtes of thyne owne heart 31 Thou king sawest and beholde there was a great image this great image whose brightnesse was excellent stoode before thee and the fourme therof was terrible 32 This images head was of fine gold his brest and armes of siluer his belly and his thighes of brasse 33 His legges were of iron his feete were part of iron and part of clay 34 Thou beheldest it till a stone was cut without handes which smote the image vpon his feete that were of iron clay and brake them to peeces 35 Then was the iron the clay the brasse the siluer and gold broken al together became like y e chaffe of sommer floores and the winde caryed them away that no place was found for them the stone that smote the image became a great mountayne and filled the whole earth 36 This is the dreame and now will we shew before the king what it meaneth 37 O king thou art a king of kinges for the God of heauē hath geuen vnto thee a kingdome power strength glorie 38 And in all places whersoeuer the children of men dwell the beastes of the fielde and the foules of the aire hath he geuen into thy hande and hath made thee ruler in them all thou art this head of golde 39 After thee shall arise another kingdome inferior to thee another third kingdome shal be of brasse whiche shall beare rule ouer all the earth 40 The fourth kingdome shal be strong as iron for as iron breaketh in peeces and subdueth all thinges and as iron bruiseth all these thinges so shall it breake in peeces and bruise all 41 Where as thou sawest the feete toes parte of potters clay part of iron the kingdome shal be deuided but there shal be in it of the strength of the iron for so much as thou sawest the iron mixt with the clay and earth 42 And as the toes of the feete were part of iron and part of clay so shal the kingdome be part strong and part broken 43 And wheras thou sawest iron mixt with clay and earth they shall mingle themselues with the seede of men and yet not ioyne one with another as iron will not be mixt with clay 44 And in the dayes of these kinges shall the God of heauen set vp a kingdome which shall neuer be destroyed and this kingdome shall not be geuen ouer to another people but it shall breake and destroy al these kingdomes and it shal stand for euer 45

of Samaria he thought with al his power to strike a fielde with him vpon a Sabbath day 2 Neuerthelesse the Iewes that were compelled to go with him saide O do not so cruelly and vnkindly but halowe the Sabbath day and worshippe him that seeth all thinges 3 For all this yet saide the vngratious person Is there a mightie one in heauen that commaunded the Sabbath day to be kept 4 And when they saide yea the lyuing God the mightie Lord in heauen commaunded the seuenth day to be kept 5 He saide And I am mightie vpon earth to commaunde them for to arme them selues to perfourme the kinges busynesse Notwithstanding he might not haue his purpose 6 Nicanor had deuised with great pride to ouercome Iudas and to bring away the victory 7 But Machabeus had euer a fast confidence and a perfect hope in God that he would helpe him 8 And exhorted his people not to be afrayde at the comming of the heathen but alway to remember the helpe that had ben shewed vnto them from heauen yea and to be sure now also that almightie God would geue them the victorie 9 He spake vnto them out of the lawe and prophetes putting them in remembraunce of the battailes that they had striken afore and made them to be of good courage 10 So when their heartes were pluckt vp he shewed them also the deceitefulnesse of the heathen and how they woulde kepe no couenaunt nor oth 11 Thus he weaponed them not with the armour of shielde and speare but with wholsome wordes and exhortations he shewed them a dreame also wherethrough he made them all glad 12 Which was this He thought that he saw Onias which had ben hie priest a vertuous and louing man sad and of honest conuersation well spoken and one that had ben exercised in godlines from a childe holding vp his handes toward heauen and praying for his people 13 After this there appeared vnto him another man which was aged honorable and glorious 14 And Onias saide This is a louer of the brethren and of the people of Israel this is he that prayeth much for the people and for all the holy citie Ieremie the prophete of God 15 He thought also that Ieremie helde out his right hande and gaue vnto Iudas a sword of golde saying 16 Take this holy sworde a gift from God wherwith thou shalt smite downe the enemies of the people of Israel 17 And so they were well comforted through the wordes of Iudas whiche were very sweete and able to stirre vp their courage and toke courage vnto them so that the young men were determined in their mindes to fight and to abide stifly at it insomuch that in the thinges which they toke in hande their boldnesse shewed the same because the holy citie the sanctuary and the temple were in perill 18 For the which they toke more care then for their wyues children brethren and kinsfolkes 19 Againe they that were in the citie were most carefull for those which were to fight 20 Now when they were all in a hope that the iudgement of the matter was at hande and the enemies drue nye the hoast being set in aray the Elephantes and horsemen euery one standing in his place 21 Machabeus considering the coÌ„ming of the multitude the ordinaunce of dâ—uers weapons the cruelnes of 〈◊〉 beastes helde vp his handes towâ— heauen calling vpon the Lorde that doth wonders which geueth not the victory after the multitude of weapons and power of the hoaste but to them that please him according to his owne wyll 22 Therefore in his prayer he saide these wordes O Lorde thou that diddest send thyne angell in the time of Ezekiah king of Iuda and in the hoast of Sennacherib sluest an hundred fourscore and fiue thousand 23 Send now also thy good angel before vs O Lorde of heauens in the fearefulnesse and dreade of thy mightie arme 24 That they which come against thy holy people to blaspheme them may be afrayd And so he made an ende of his wordes 25 Then Nicanor they that were with him drue nye with trumpettes showtinges for ioy 26 But Iudas and his company with prayer and calling vpon God encountred with the enemies 27 With their handes they smote but with their heartes they prayed vnto the Lorde and slue no lesse then thirtie and fiue thousand men For through the present helpe of God they were gloriously comforted 28 Now when they left of and were turning againe with ioy they vnderstoode that Nicanor him selfe was slaine with the other for all his armour 29 Then they gaue a great shout and a crye praysing the almightie Lorde in their owne language 30 And Iudas which was euer redie to spend his body and lyfe for his citezins coÌ„maunded to smite of Nicanors head with his arme and hande and to be brought to Hierusalem 31 When he came there he called all the people the priestes to the aulter with those that were in the castle 32 And shewed them Nicanors head and his wicked hande which he had presumptuously holden vp against the temple of God 33 He caused the tongue also of that vngodly Nicanor to be cut in litle peeces and to be cast to the foules and that cruel mans hande to be hanged vp before the temple 34 So euery man gaue thankes vnto the Lorde saying Blessed be he that hath kept his place vndefiled 35 As for Nicanors head he hanged it vp vpon the hie castle for an euident and playne token of the helpe of God 36 And so they agreed al together to kepe that day holy namely the thirteenth day of the moneth Adar 37 Which in the Syrians language is called the next day before Mardocheus day 38 Thus was Nicanor slaine and from that time foorth the Iewes had the citie in possession and here wyll I nowe make an ende 39 If I haue done well and as the storie required it is the thing that I desired but if I haue spoken sclenderly barely I haue done that I coulde 40 For as it is hurtfull to drinke wine alone and then againe water as wine tempred with water is pleasaunt deliteth the taste so the setting out of the matter delighteth the eare of them that reade the story And here shal be the ende ¶ The ende of the second booke of the Machabees J.

When the hye priestes therefore and officers sawe hym they cryed saying crucifie hym crucifie hym Pilate sayth vnto them Take ye hym and crucifie hym for I fynde no cause in hym 7 The Iewes aunswered hym We haue a lawe and by our lawe he ought to dye because he made hym selfe the sonne of God 8 When Pilate hearde that saying he was the more afrayde 9 And went agayne into the iudgement hall and sayth vnto Iesus whence art thou But Iesus gaue hym none aunswere 10 Then sayde Pilate vnto hym Speakest thou not vnto me Knowest thou not that I haue power to crucifie thee and haue power to loose thee 11 Iesus aunswered Thou couldest haue no power at all agaynst me except it were geuen thee from aboue Therfore he that deliuered me vnto thee hath the more sinne 12 And from thencefoorth sought Pilate meanes to loose hym But the Iewes cryed saying Yf thou let hym go thou art not Caesers friend For whosoeuer maketh hym selfe a kyng speaketh agaynst Caesar 13 When Pilate hearde that saying he brought Iesus foorth he sate downe in the iudgement seate in a place that is called the pauement but in the Hebrue tounge Gabbatha 14 It was the preparyng of y e Passouer and about the sixt houre And he sayth vnto the Iewes beholde your kyng 15 They cryed away with hym away with hym crucifie hym Pilate sayth vnto them Shall I crucifie your king The hye priestes aunswered We haue no king but Caesar 16 Then deliuered he hym vnto them to be crucified And they toke Iesus ledde hym away 17 And he bare his crosse wēt forth into a place which is called y e place of dead mens skulles but in Hebrue Golgotha 18 Where they crucified hym and two other with him on eyther syde one and Iesus in the myddes 19 And Pilate wrote a title and put it on the crosse The wrytyng was Iesus of Nazareth kyng of the Iewes 20 This title read many of the Iewes For the place where Iesus was crucified was nye to y e citie And it was written in Hebrue and Greke and Latine 21 Then sayde the hye priestes of the Iewes to Pilate Write not kyng of the Iewes but that he sayde I am kyng of the Iewes 22 Pilate aunswered What I haue written that haue I written 23 Then the souldiers when they had crucified Iesus toke his garmentes made foure partes to euery souldier a part and also his coate The coate was without seame wouen from the toppe throughout 24 They sayde therefore among them selues Let vs not deuide it but caste lottes for it who shal haue it That the scripture myght be fulfylled saying They parted my rayment among thē for my coate dyd they cast lottes And the souldiers dyd such thynges in deede 25 There stoode by the crosse of Iesus his mother and his mothers sister Marie the wyfe of Cleophas and Marie Magdalene 26 Whē Iesus therfore sawe his mother and the disciple standyng by whom he loued he saith vnto his mother Woman beholde thy sonne 27 Then sayde he to the disciple beholde thy mother And from that houre the disciple toke her vnto his owne 28 After these thynges Iesus knowyng that all thynges were nowe perfourmed that the scripture might be fulfylled he sayth I thirste 29 So there stoode a vessell by full of vineger Therefore they fylled a sponge with vineger and put it vpon Isope put it to his mouth 30 Assoone as Iesus then receaued of the vineger he saide it is finished and bowed his head and gaue vp the ghost 31 The Iewes therefore because it was the preparyng of the Sabboth that the bodyes should not remaine vpō y e crosse on the Sabboth day for that Sabboth day was an hye day besought Pilate that their legges myght be broken and that they myght be taken downe 32 Then came the souldiers and brake the legges of the first and of the other which was crucified with hym 33 But when they came to Iesus sawe that he was dead alredye they brake not his legges 34 But one of the souldyers with a speare thruste hym into the syde foorthwith came there out blood and water 35 And he that sawe it bare recorde and his recorde is true he knoweth that he saith true that ye might beleue also 36 For these thynges were done that the scripture shoulde be fulfylled Ye shall not breake aboue of hym 37 And agayne another scripture saith They shall loke on hym whom they pearsed 38 After this Ioseph of Aramathia which was a disciple of Iesus but secretely for feare of y e Iewes besought Pilate that he myght take downe the body of Iesus And Pilate gaue hym licence He came therefore and toke the dye of Iesus 39 And there came also Nicodemus whiche at the begynnyng came to Iesus by nyght and brought of mirre and aloes myngled together about an hundred pounde wayght 40 Then toke they the body of Iesus wounde it in linnen clothes with the odours as the maner of the Iewes is to burie 41 And in the place where he was crucified there was a garden and in the garden a
