Chapter ANd the auncyeÌt heedes of the childern of Gilead the sonne of Machir yâ sonne of Manasse of the kynred of yâ childern of Joseph came forth and spake before Moses and the prynces which were auncieÌt heedes amoÌge the childern of Israel sayed The Lorde commaunded my lorde to geue yâ lande to enherette by lotte to the childern of Israel And then my lord commaunded in yâ name of the Lorde to geue the enheritaunce of Zelaphead oure brother vnto his doughters Now when any of the sonnes of the trybes of Israel take them to wyâes then shall their enheritaunce be taken from the enheritaunce of oure fathers and shall be put vnto the enheritaunce of the trybe in which they are and shal be taken from the lott of oure enheritaunce And when the fre yere cometh vnto the childern of Israel then shall their enheritaunce be put vnto the enheritaunce of the trybe where they are in and so shall their enheritaunce betaken awaye from the enheritaunce of the trybe of oure fathers And Moses commaunded the childern of Israel at the mouth of the Lorde sayenge the trybe of yâ childern of Joseph haue sayed well This therfore doeth the Lorde commauÌde the doughters of Zelaphead sayenge let them be wyâes to whom they theÌ silfe thynke best but in the kynred of the trybe of their father shall they marye that the enheritaunce of the childern of Israel roole not from trybe to trybe But that the childern of Israel maye abyde euery man in the enheritaunce of the trybe of his fathers And euery doughter that possesseth any enheritaunce amonge the trybes of the childern of Israel shal be wife vnto one of the kynred of the trybe of hir father that the childern of Israel maye enioy euery man the enheritaunce of his father that the enheritaunce goo not from one trybe to another but that the trybes of the childern of Israel maye abyde euery man in his awne enheritaunce And as the Lorde commaunded Moses euen so dyd the doughters of Zelaphead Mahela Thirza Hagla Milca and Noa âd were maried vnto their fathers brothers sonnes of the kynted of the childern of Manasse the sonne of Joseph aÌd so they had their enheritaunce in the trybe of the kynred of their father These are the commaundmentes lawes which the Lorde commaunded thorow Moses vnto the childern of Israel in the feldes of Moab apon Jordayne nye vnto Jerichâ ¶ The ende of the .iiij. boke of Moses A PROLOGE IN TO THE fyfte boke of Moses called Deuteronomye THis is a boke worthye to be rede in daye and nyghte and neuer to be oute of handes For it is the most excellent of all the bokes of Moses It is easye also and light and a very pure gospell that is to wete a preachinge of fayth and loue deducinge the loue to God oute of faith and the loue of a mans neyghboure out of the loue of God Herin also thou mayst lerne right meditacion or contemplacyon which is nothing els saue the callynge to mynde and a repeatyng in the hert of the gloriouse aÌd wonderfull deades of God and of his terreble handelinge off his enemyes and mercyfull entreating of them that come when he calleth them which thinge this boke doth and almost nothinge els In the .iiij. first chaptres he reherseth the benefites of God done vnto theÌ to prouoke theÌ to loue aÌd his mightie deades done aboue all naturall power aÌd beyonde all naturall capacite of faith that they might beleue God aÌd trust in him and in his strength And thyrdlye he reherseth the firce plages of God vppon hys enemyes and on them which thorowe impacientie and vnbeleââe fell from him partelye to tame and abate the appetites of the fleshe whiche alwaye fyght agenst the spirite and partely to bridle the wilde raginge lustes of theÌ in whom was no spirite that though they had no power to do good of loue yet at the lest waye they shulde absteyne from outwarde euell for feare of wrath and cruell vengeaunce whiche shuld fall vppon them and shortly finde them oute yf they cast vpp goddes nurter and runne at ryotte beyonde his lawes and ordinaunces Moreouer he chargeth them to put nought to nor take oughte awaye from goddes wordes but to be diligent onlye to kepe them in remeÌbraunce and in the harte and to teache theire childern for feare of forgettinge And to beware ether of makynge imagerye or of bowinge them selues vnto images sayenge Ye sarâe no image when God spake vnto you but herde avoyce onlye and that voyce kepe and therunto cleaue for it is youre liffe and it shall saue you And finally yf as the frayltie of al flesh is they shall haue fallen from God and he haue brought them in to troble aduersyte aÌd coÌbraunce aÌd all necessite yet yf they repent and turne he promyseth them that God shall remeÌbre his mercie aÌd receave theÌ to grace agayne In the fifte he repeteth the .x. commauÌdmeÌtes and that they myght se a cause to do them of loue he biddeth them remembre that they were bounde in Egipte and how God delyuered them with a mightie hande and a stretchedout arme to serue him and to kepe his commaundmentes as Paule sayeth that we are bought with Christes bloude aÌd therfore are his servauntes aÌd not oure awne aÌd ought to seke his will and honoure onlye aÌd to loue aÌd serue one another for his sake In the sixte he setteth out the fountayne off all commaundmentes that is that they beleue how that there is but one God that doeth all and therfore ought onlye to be loued with all the herto all the soule and all the myghte For loue only is the fulfillinge of the commaundementes as Paule also sayeth vnto the Romaynes and Galathians likewise He warneth theÌ also that they forgett not the commaundmentes but teach theÌ their childern aÌd to shew the ir childern also how God delyuered theÌ out of the bondage of the EgiptiaÌs to serue him and his commaundmeÌtes that the childern myght se a cause to worke of loue likewise The seueÌth is all together of faith he remoueth all occasioÌs that might withdrawe them from the fayth and pulleth them also from all confidence in them selues and sturreth theÌ vp to trust in god boldlye and onlye Of the eyght chaptre thou seyst how that the cause of all temptation is that a maÌ might so his awne herte For wheÌ I am brought in to that extremite that I must ether suffre or forsake god then I shall feale how moch I beleue and trust in him
