Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.
Blessed are the meke, for they shall enheryte the erthe.
1By the earth understand all that we possess in this world, which all god will keep for us if we be soft and meek. And what so ever trouble arise, yet if we will be patient and abide, the end will go on our side, as it is written in the xxxvi. Psal. the wicked shall be weeded out, but they that abide the lords leisure, shall inherit the earth. And again, with in a while the wicked shall be gone, thou shalt behold the place where he was and he shall be away / but the meek or soft shall inherit the earth. Even as we say / be still and have thy will / and of little meddling cometh much rest / for a patient man shall were out all his enemies.

Psal. the wycked shalbe weded out, but they that abyde the lordes layser, shall enherete the erthe. And agayne, with in a whyle the wicked shalbe gone, thou shalt behold the place where he was and he shalbe away / but the meke or softe shal enheryte the erthe. Euen as we say / be styl and haue thy wyl / and of lytle medlynge cometh moche reste / for a pacyent man shal were out all hys enemyes.
