CAP. IX.

[verse 1] I siȝ the Lord stondynge on the auter, and he seide, Smyte thou the herre, and the ouer threshfoldis [threisfoldis, either lyntelis U sec. m.] be mouyd togidere; for aueryce is in the heed of alle, and Y schal sle bi swerd the laste of hem; ther schal no fliȝt be to hem, and he that schal fle of hem, schal not be sauyd. [verse 2] If thei schulen go doun til to helle, fro thennus myn hond schal lede out hem; and if thei schulen `stie til in to [stie up vnto I. stie til to S.] heuene, fro thennus Y schal drawe hem doun. [verse 3] And if thei schulen be hid in the cop of Carmele, fro thennus Y sekynge schal do awei hem; and if thei schulen hide hem silf fro myn iȝen in the depnesse of the see, there Y shal comaunde to [Om. NU pr. m.] a serpente, and it schal bite hem. [verse 4] And if thei schulen go awei in to caitifte bifore her enemyes, there Y schal comaunde to swerd, and it schal sle hem. And Y schal putte myn iȝen on hem in to yuel, and not in to good. [verse 5] And the Lord God of oostis schal do these thingis, that touchith erthe, and it schal faile, and alle men dwellynge ther ynne schulen mourene; and it schal stie vp as ech stronde, and it schal flete awei as flood [a flood S sup. ras. the flood U.]

of Egipt. [verse 6] He that bildith his stiyng vp in heuene, schal do these thingis, and foundide his birthun [knycchoun, [knicchin C et alii] ether birthun CEFGHIKMNPQRSUXY. knytche N.] on erthe; which clepith watris of the see, and heldith out hem on the face of erthe; the Lord is name of hym. [verse 7] Whether not as sones [the sones ISU sec. m.] of Ethiopiens ȝe ben to me, the sones of Is|rael? seith the Lord God. Whether Y made not Israel for to stie vp fro the lond of Egipt, and Palestines fro Capodosie, and Siriens fro Cirenen? [verse 8] Lo! the iȝen of the Lord God ben on the rewme synnynge, and Y schal al to-breke it fro the face of erthe; netheles Y al [that al U sec. m.] to-brekynge schal not al to-breke the hous of Jacob, seith the Lord. [verse 9] For lo! Y schal comaunde, and schal schake [make I. schake togidir U sec. m.] the hous of Israel in alle folkis, as wheete is [is shaken togidir U sec. m.] in a riddil, and a litil stoon schal not falle [falle doun U sec. m.] on [in N.] erthe [the erthe I.] . [verse 10] Alle synneris of my puple schulen die bi swerd, whiche seien, Yuel schal not neiȝ, and schal not come on vs. [verse 11] In that dai Y schal reise the tabernacle of Dauith, that felle doun, and Y schal aȝen bilde openyngis of wallis [the wallis U sec. m.] therof, and Y schal restore the thingis that fellen doun; and Y schal aȝen [verse 12] bilde it, as in olde daies, that thei welde the remenauntis of Idume, and alle na|ciouns; for that [that that U sec. m.] my name is clepun [clepid FIS.] to help on hem, seith the Lord doynge these thingis. [verse 13] Lo! daies comen, seith the Lord, and the erere schal take the repere, and `the stampere [tredere, or stampere CEFGHIKMNPQRSXY. the pressere, or stompere U sec. m.] of grape schal take the man sowynge [sendinge FMQRSU.] seed; and mounteyns schu|len droppe swetnesse, and alle smale hillis schulen be tilid. [verse 14] And Y schal conuerte [turne U sup. ras.] the caitifte of my puple Israel, and thei schulen bilde forsakun citees, and schulen dwelle; and schulen [thei shulen U.] plaunte vyneȝerdis, and thei schulen drynke wyn of hem [tho U sec. m.] ; and schulen [thei shulen U sec. m.] make gardyns, and schulen ete fruitis of hem [tho U sup. ras.] . [verse 15] And Y schal plaunte hem on her lond, and Y schal no more drawe

out hem of her lond, which Y ȝaf to hem, seith the Lord thi [Om. A pr. m.] God.
