I will instruct the wicked that they may know thy ways / and the ungodly shall be converted unto thee.

I will enstructe the wyked that they maye knowethy wayes / and the vngodlye shalbe conuerted vnto the.

Ascribe not this oh Lord unto presumption / if I go about to the teach the ungodly thy ways / for I desire not to teach them as I now am wicked / ungodly / and under the bonds of sin / but if thou make me again ⟨image 125⟩to rejoice in thy saving health: if thou strengthen me with a principal spirit: and if also thou set me free / then shall I teach the ungodly thy ways. ¶Nether is this hard unto the / which of very stones canst raise up children unto Abraham / nether can my since be impediment unto the if thou wilt do this / but rather where sin is so abundant / there aboundeth grace Paul yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the lord received commission that if he found any whether they were men or women which followed the & professed thy faith / he should bring them prisoners to Jerusalem. And forth was he going like a mad harebrayne and as a ravening volfe / for to stray abroad / ravish and kill thy sheep. But whilst he was yet in his journey even in the heat of his persecution / and in actual doing of his sin / whiles he was persecuting thee and would have slain thy chosen / having no manner of preparative unto grace / nether yet knowledge of his sin / when with heart and will he was thine adversary / blasphemed and cursed thee. Behold the voice of thy merciable pity ⟨image 126⟩unto him saying: Saute / Saul why persecute•• me? by the which voice he was immediately both said along and raised up he was laid along and overthrown as concerning his body / but he was raised up with the mind thou raisedst him up that was in the sleep of dark ignorance and pouredst in thy glorious light in to those eyes which were oppressed with this blind sleep: thou showedst him thy savourable face and endued him with thy gracious mercy. Then was he raised as it had been from death / he opened his eyes / he saw thee and said: Lord what wilt thou that I do? And after didst thou send a sheep to his wolf / for thou commandedst Ananias to go unto him: And then was he baptised and anon was he replenished with the holy ghost and was made a chosen vessel to bear thy name before kings / nations and the childer of Israel. And with out delay he entered in to the synagogues & preached thy name stoutly / affirming that thou art Christ / He disputed / prevailed and confounded the Ives.
