IN those days came Iohn the Baptist preaching in the wilderness of Iudea. 2. And saying, Repent ye, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand. 3. For this is he that was spoken of by the Prophet E∣saias, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Pre∣pare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths streight. 4. And the same Iohn had his f 1.2 rayment of Camels hair, and a leathern g 1.3 girdle about his loins, and his meat was h 1.4 locusts, and wild i 1.5 honey. 5. Then went out to him Ie∣rusalem, and all Iudea, and all the Region round about Jor∣dan. 6. And were baptized of him in Iordan, confessing their sins. 7. But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Saddu∣ces come to his baptism, he said unto them, O generation of Ui∣pers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come? 8. Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance. 9. And think not to say with∣in your selves, We have Abra∣ham to our Father: For I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up Children to Abraham. 10. And now also l 1.6 is the ax laid unto the root of the trees: Therefore every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit, is hewen down, and cast into the fire.

11. I, indeed baptize you with water, unto repentance: but he that cometh after me, is mightier then I, whose shoos I am not worthy to bear, he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire. 12. Whose fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner: but will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.
