We have sinned with our forefathers we have done unjustly, and committed iniquity.
We haue sinned with oure forefathers we haue done vniustly, and commited iniquitie.
Trust not in rulers nor in the sons1 of men, in whom is no health. For when their breath goeth away, they return unto their earth: In y• day shall all their thou •hts, counsels, devises and imaginations come to naught. I have alway said unto your forefathers since I brought them out of the land of Egypt even unto this day hear my voice, but they would not hear nor once bow their ear unto it: But every one of them is gone astray in the fr• wardnes of his wicked heart, yea the people of Judah and the men of Jerusalem are also fallen unto the wickedness of their fore fathers which would not hear my words: Insomuch that they are already gone away after strange Gods and serve them. The house of Israel & the house of Judah, have broken the covenant which I made with their fathers. Therefore thus saith the lord: Behold I will bring in extreme punishments upon them, so y• they shall not escape from them.
