The VIII. Chapter.

THe LORDE God shewed me me this vision: and beholde, there was a maū¦de [ A] with sommer frute. And he sayde: Amos, what seist thou? I answered: a maū∣de with sommer frute. Then sayde the LOR¦DE vnto me: the ende commeth vpon my peo¦ple of Israel, I wil nomore ouersee them. In that daye shall the songes off the temple be turned in to sorow, sayeth the LORDE God. Many deed bodyes shal lye in euery place, & be cast forth secretly. Heare this, O ye y^t op∣presse the poore,* 1.1 and destroye the nedy in y^e londe, sayenge: Whan will the new moneth be gone, that we maye sell vytale, and y^e Sab¦bath, that we maye haue scarcenesse of cor∣ne: to make the buszshel lesse, and the Sycle greater?

Beholde, the tyme commeth (sayeth the LORDE God) y^t I shal sende an hūger in to y^e earth: not the hunger of bred, ner the thyrst of water: but an hunger to heare the worde off the LORDE: so that they shal go from the one see to the other, yee from y^e north vnto y^e cast, runnynge aboute to seke the worde of y^e LORDE, and shal not fynde it. In that tyme, shal the fayre virgins and the yonge men pe¦rish for thyrst, yee euen they that sweare in the offence off Samaria, and saye: as truly as thy God lyueth at Dan, and as truly as y^e God lyueth at Bersaba. These shal fall, and neuer ryse vp agayne.
