¶ The .vi. Chapter.

IN those dayes as the nombre of the di∣sciples [ A] grewe / ther arose a grudge amon¦ge the Grekes agaynste the Ebrues / be¦cause their wyddowes were despysed in the dayly mynystracion. Then the twelve called the multitude of the disciples to gether & say¦de: it is not mete that we shuld leave the wor¦de of God & serve at the tables. Wherfore* 1.1 brethren / loke ye out amōge you seven men of honest reporte / & full of the holy goost & wys∣dome / which we maye apoynte to this nedfull busynes. But we will geve oureselves cōtinu¦ally [ B] to prayer / & to the ministracion of y^e wor∣de. And the sayinge pleased the whoale multi¦tude. And they chose Steven a man full of fayth & of the holy goost / & Philip / & Procho¦rus / and Nichanor / and Timon / and Perme∣nas / and Nicholas a converte of Antioche. Which they set before the Apostles / and they prayed and layde their hondes on them.

And the worde of God encreased / & the noū¦bre [ C] of the disciples multiplied in Ierusalem greatly / and a great company of the prestes were obedient to the faythe. ✚ And Steven* 1.2 full of faythe and power / dyd great wondres & myracles amōge y^e people. Then ther arose

certayne of the synagoge / which are called Ly¦bertines & Syrenites / & of Alexandria / and of Cilicia / and Asia / and disputed with Steven. And they coulde not resist the wysdome / & the sprete / with which he spake. Then sent they in men / which sayd: we have hearde him spea¦ke blasphemous wordes agaynst Moses / & agaynst God. And they moved y^e people & the elders & the scribes: and came apon him and caught him / and brought him to the counsell / & brought forth falce witnesses which sayde. This mā ceasith not to speake blasphemous [ D] wordes agaynst this holy place & the lawe: for we hearde him saye: this Iesus of Naza∣reth shall destroye this place / & shall chaun∣ge the ordinaunces which Moses gave vs. And all that sate in y^e counsell loked sted fast∣ly on him / & sawe his face as it had bene the face of an angell.
