[illustration]

[ A] OF the yalowe sylke, scarlet, & purple, they made Aarons mynistringe ves∣timentes, to do seruyce in the Sanc¦tuary, as y^e LORDE cōmaunded Moses.

And he made the ouer body cote, of gol∣de, yalowe sylke, scarlet, purple, & whyte twy∣ned sylke, and bett the golde in to thinne pla¦tes, and cut it in to wyres, that it might be wrought amonge the yalowe sylke, scarlet, purple and whyte sylke, & made it so, that y^e ouerbody cote came together by the edges on both the sydes. And his gyrdel was after the same craft & worke: euē of golde, yalowe sylke, scarlet, purple and whyte twyned syl∣ke, as the LORDE commaunded Moses.

And they wrought two Onix stones, set rounde aboute with golde, grauen by the sto¦ne grauer with the names of the childrē of Israel: and fastened them vpō the shulders of the ouerbody cote, that they might be sto¦nes of remēbraunce vnto the children of Is∣rael, as the LORDE cōmaunded Moses.

[ B] And they made the brestlappe after the craft & worke of the ouerbody cote: of gol∣de, yalowe sylke, scarlet, purple, & whyte twy¦ned sylke, so that it was foure square & dub∣ble, an hande bredth longe and brode, and fylled it with foure rowes of stones. The first rowe was: a Sardis, a Topas, and a Sma¦ragde. The secōde: a Ruby, a Saphyre, 〈◊〉〈◊〉 a Dyamonde. The thirde: a Ligurios, 〈◊〉〈◊〉 Achat, and an Amatist. The fourth: a Tur∣cas, an Onix & a Iaspis: closed rounde abou¦te with golde in all the rowes. And the sto∣nes stode after the twolue names of the chil¦dren of Israel, grauen by the stone grauer, euery one with his name, acordinge to the twolue trybes.

And vpon the brestlappe they made wry¦then cheynes of pure golde, and two hokes of golde, & two golde rynges, and fastened the two rynges vpon the two edges of the brestlappe: and y^e two wrythen cheynes put they in the two rynges vpon the corners of the brestlappe. But the ••wo endes of y^e wre∣then cheynes put they to the two hokes, & fastened them vpon the corners of the ouer body cote, one ouer agaynst another.

And they made two other rynges of gol¦de, [ C] & fastened them to the other two corners of the brestlappe by the edge of it, that it might hange vpon the out syde of the ouer∣body cote. And they made yet two other gol¦de rynges, which they put beneth vpon the two corners of the ouerbody cote, one ouer agaynst another, where the ouerbody co∣te ioyneth together, that the brestlappe might be festened by his rynges vnto y^e ryn¦ges of the ouerbody cote with a yalowe la∣ce, that it might lye close vpon y^e ouerbody cote, and not be lowsed from y^e ouerbody co¦te, as the LORDE commaunded Moses.

And he made the tunycle vnto the ouer∣body cote, wrought all of yalow sylke, & the hole therof aboue in the myddest, & a bonde foldē together rounde aboute the hole, that it shulde not rente. And beneth vpon y^e hem¦me of it, they made pomgranates of yalow sylke, scarlet, purple, & whyte twyned sylke: & they made belles of pure golde, which they put betwixte y^e pomgranates rounde abou¦te vpon the hemme of the tunycle, a bell & a pomgranate, a bell & a pomgranate rounde aboute, to do seruyce in, as the LORDE com¦maunded Moses.

And they made albes also wrought of [ D] whyte sylke for Aaron & his sonnes, & y^e my∣ter of whyte sylke, and the goodly bonettes of whyte sylke, and breches of twyned why¦te lynnen, and the girdle of nedle worke euen of whyte twyned sylke, yalow sylke, scarlet, and purple, as the LORDE commaunded Moses.

They made the fore heade plate also to y^e holy crowne, of pure golde, and wrote therin with grauen worke: the holynes of the LOR¦DE,

and festened a yalowe lace theron, to tye 〈◊〉〈◊〉 vnto the myter aboue, as the LORDE cō¦maunded Moses.

Thus the whole worke of y^e Habitacion of y^e Tabernacle of wytnesse, was fynished. And the childrē of Israel dyd all that the LORDE cōmaunded Moses, & brought the Habitacion vnto Moses: the Tabernacle & all the apparell therof, the buttons, bordes, barres, pilers, sokettes, y^e couerynge of reed slrynnes of rammes, the couerynge of doo slrynnes, & the vayle, y^e Arke of wytnesse w^t [ E] the staues therof, the Mercyseate, the table & all his apparell, & the shewbred, the candil¦sticke, w^t the lampes prepared, and all his ap¦parell, & oyle for the lightes, the golden alta¦re, the anoyntinge oyle & incense, the hangin¦ge in the Tabernacle dore, the brasen altare, & his brasen gredyron w^t his staues▪ & all his apparell, y^e lauer w^t his foote, the hangyn∣ges of y^e courte w^t the pilers & sokettes ther¦of, y^e hanginge in the courte gate w^t his pi∣lers & nales, & all the ordynaunce fo•• the ser∣uyce of the Habitacion of y^e Tabernacle of wytnesse, y^e mynistringe vestimētes of Aarō y^e prest, to do seruyce in y^e Sanctuary, & the garmētes of his sonnes, y^t they might execu¦te y^e prestes office. Acordinge to all that y^e LORDE cōmaunded Moses, euē so dyd the childrē of Israel in all this seruyce. And Mo¦ses sawe all y^e worke, y^t they dyd it euē as y^e LORDE had commaunded, and he blessed them.
