The Newe Testament dylygently corrected and compared with the Greke by Willyam Tindale, and fynesshed in the yere of our Lorde God A.M.D. & xxxiiij. in the moneth of Nouember.

¶ These thinges haue I added to fill vp the leffe with all.

¶ Infernus and gehenna differ moche in sig¦nificacion / though we have none other inter∣pretacion for ether of them / then this Engly¦she worde / hell. For gehenna signifieth a pla¦ce of punyshement: but infernus is taken for any maner of place beneth in y^• erth / as a gra∣ve sepulchre or cave.

Hell: it is called in Hebrue the valeye of* 1.1 Hennon. A place by Ierusalem / where they burnt their chyldren in fyer vnto the ydole Moloch / & is vsurped & taken now for a pla∣ce where the wycked and vngodlye shalbe tor¦mented both soule and bodye / after the gene∣rall iudgement.

Geue Rowme to y^• wrath of God. Rom. xii* 1.2 wrath is there taken for vengeaunce. And the meaninge is: let God advenge / ether by him¦selfe or by the officers that beare his rowme.

There tarye & abyde tyll ye go oute. Yt is* 1.3 in Marke the .vi. Wheresoever ye enter in to an house / there abyde till ye go oute thēce. And Luke .ix. it is / into what soever housse ye enter / ther tarye / and go not oute thence: that is to saye / whosoever receaveth you / there

abyde as longe as you are in the citie or tou∣ne / and go not shamefully a beggynge from housse to housse as freers do.

Dust: shake of the dust of youre fete. Mat∣thew.* 1.4 x. Why are they cōmaunded to shake of the dust? For a wytnes sayth Luke. That that dede maye testifie agaynst them in the daye of iudgement / that the doctrine of salva¦cion was offered them / but they wolde not re∣ceave it. Ye se also that soche gestures and ce¦remonies haue greater power with them / then have bare wordes onlye / to move the harte & to stere vp fayth / as do the layenge on of han¦des and anoyntinge with oyle. &c.

Ypocrytes / can ye decerne the face of hea∣ven and not decerne the signe of the tymes? That is to saye: they coulde iudge by the sig¦nes* 1.5 of the skye what wether shuld folowe: but coulde not knowe Christ by the signes of the scripture. And yet other signe myght not be geven them.

He that sayth he knoweth Christ and ke∣peth not his commaundemētes / ys a lyar. To knowe Christ is to beleve in Christ. Ergo he that kepeth not the commaundementes / be∣leveth not in Christ.
