before whō there is none other: for without me there is no God. I haue prepared the [unspec B] or euer thou knewest me, that I myght be knowen from the rysynge of y• sunne to the goynge downe of the same, y• all is nothing without me. For I am the Lorde, and there is els none. It is I that created y• lyght & darckenes. I make peace and trouble: yee euen I the Lorde do all these thynges {fleur-de-lys} ye heauens from aboue droppe downe, and let the cloudes rayne ryghteousnes. The earth open it selfe, and brynge forth health, that therby ryghteousnes maye florysh. Euen I the Lorde brynge it to passe. Wo be vn∣to hym that stryueth with his maker / the potsherde with the potter. Sayeth the claye to y• potter What makest thou or thy worke serueth for nothynge? Wo be vnto him that sayeth to his father: Why begettest thou? And to h{is} mother: why bearest thou? Thus sayeth the Lorde, euen the holy one / and ma¦ker of Israel. Aske me of thynges for to come / concerning my sonnes: & put me in re¦membraunce as touchynge the workes of my handes. I haue made the earth, & crea∣ted man vpon it. With myne handes haue I spred forth heauen, and geuen a cōmaun∣dement for all the hoost therof. I shal wake him vp with ryghteousnes, and ordre al his wayes. He shall buylde my cytie, & let out my prysoners: and that neyther for gyft nor rewardes, sayeth the Lorde of Hostes. Thus [unspec C] sayeth the Lorde. The occupiers of Egypt / the marchaūtes of the Morians & Sabees, shal come vnto the with tribute, they shalbe thyne / they shal folowe the, & go with chey∣nes vpon theyr fete. They shal fall downe before the / and make supplicacion vnto the. For God (without whō there is none other God) shalbe with the. O howe profounde art thou O God, thou God and Sauyoure of Israel? Confounded are they al, and put to dishonoure: they are gone hence together with shame, euen the makers of ymages. But Israel shalbe saued in the Lord, which is the euerlastynge saluacyon. Yee shal nat come to shame nor confusyon, worlde with∣out ende. For thus sayeth the Lorde: euen he that created heauens / the God that made the earth, that fashyoned it, and sett it forth. He dyd not make it for naught, but to be en∣habited. Euen I the Lorde, without whom there is none other. I haue nat spoken se∣cretly / nether in darke places of the earth. It is nat for naught / that I sayde vnto the sede of Iacob: seke me. I am the Lorde / whiche when I speake, declareth the thyng that is ryghteous and true: gather you and come together, drawe nye hither, that are [unspec D] escaped of the people. Haue they any vn∣derstandyng, that set vp the stockes of theyr Idols / and praye vnto a God / that can nat helpe them? drawe nye, come hyther / and let them aske councell one at another / & shewe forth. What is he, that tolde this before? or, who spake of it / euer sence the begynnyng? Haue nat I the Lorde done it? without whō there is none other God? the true God and Sauyoure / and there is els none but I? And therfore turne you vnto me (all ye endes of the earth) that ye maye be saued: for I am God, & there is els none. I sweare by my selfe: out of my mouth commeth the worde of ryghteousnes, and that maye no man turne: but all knees shall bowe vnto me, and all tunges shall sweare by my na∣me, saying. Uerely, in y• Lord is my ryghte∣ousnes and strength. To hym shall men come: but al they that thynke scorne of him, shalbe confounded. And the whole sede of Israel shallbe iustified, & make theyr boast in the Lorde.
