CHAP. VIII.

2 God humbleth the Israelites to trie what they haue in their heart. 5 God chasticeth them as his 〈◊〉〈◊〉 14 The heart ought no to be proude for Gods benefites 19 The 〈◊〉〈◊〉 of Gods benesites causeth destruction,

1 YE shal kepe all the commandements which I commande thee this day, for a 1.1 to do them: that ye may 〈◊〉〈◊〉, and be mul tiplied, and go in & possesse the lād which the Lord sware vnto yourfathers.

2 And thou shalt remēber all the way which the Lord thy God led thee this fourty yere in the wildernes, for to humble thee and to b 1.2 proue thee, to knowe what was in thine heart, whether thou woldest kepe his cō∣mandements or no.

3 Therefore he hūbled thee, and made thee hungry, & fed thee with Man, which thou knewest not, nether did thy fathers know it, that he might teache thee that man li∣ueth nor by c 1.3 bread onely, but by euerie (worde) that proceadeth out of the mouth of the Lord, doeth a man liue.

4 Thy rayment waxed not olde vpon thee, nether did thy fote d 1.4 swel those fourtie ye∣res.

5 Knowe therefore in thine heart, that as a man nourtereth his sonne, so the Lord thy God e 1.5 nourtereth thee.

6 Therefore shalt thou kepe the commande ments of the Lord thy GOD, that thou maiest walke in his wayes, and feare him.

7 For the Lord thy god bringeth thee into a good land, a land in the which are riuers of water and fountaines, and “ 1.6 dephtes that spring out of vale is and mountaines

8 A land of wheat and barley, and of vine∣yardes, and fig trees, and pomgranates a land of oyle oliue and honey:

9 A land wherein thou shalt eat bread with∣out scarcetie, nether shalte thou lacke a∣nie thing therin. a lād f 1.7 whose stones (are) yron, and out of whose mountains thou shalt digge brasse.

10 And when thou hast eaten and filled thy self, thou shalt g 1.8 blesse the Lord thy God for the good land, which he hath giuen thee.

11 Beware that thou forget not the Lord thy God, not keping his commandements, & his lawes, and his ordinances, which I com¦mande thee this day:

12 Lest (when) thou hast eaten and filled thy selfe, & hast buylt goodly houses & dwelt (therein)

13 And thy beastes, and thy shepe are increa sed, and thy siluer and golde is multiplied, and all that thou hast is encreased.

14 Then thine heart h 1.9 be lifted vp and thou forget the Lord thy God, which broght the out of the land of Egypt, from the hou se of bondage.

15 Who was thy guide in the great and terri ble wildernes 〈◊〉〈◊〉 (wherein were) firy serpēts and scorpions, and drought, where (was) no water, * who broght forthe water for thee, out of the rocke of flinte:* 1.10

16 Who fed thee in the 〈◊〉〈◊〉 with * Mā,* 1.11 which thy fathers knewe not,] to humble thee, and to proue thee, that he might do thee good at thy latter end,

17 (Beware) lest thou say in thine heart, My power, and the strength of mine owne hād hathe prepared me this abundance.

18 But remember the Lord thy God: for it is he which i 1.12 giueth thee power to get sub∣stance to establish his couenant which he sware vnto thy fathers, as (appeareth) this day.

19 And if thou forget the Lord thy God, and walke after other gods, and serue them, & worship thē, I k 1.13 testifie vnto you this day that ye shal surely perish.

20 As the nacions which the Lord destroyeth before you, so ye shal perish, because ye wolde not be obedient vnto the voyce of the Lord your God.
