1 Goo to now ye ryche men. Wepe and howle on youre wretchednes that shall come apon you.

2 Youre ryches is corrupte youre garmentes are motheaten.

3 Youre golde and youre silver are cankred and the rust of them shalbe a witnes vnto you and shall eate youre flesshe as it were fyre. Ye have heaped treasure togedder in youre last dayes:

4 Beholde the hyre of ye labourers which have reped doune youre feldes (which hyer is of you kept backe by fraude) cryeth: and ye cryes of them which have reped are entred into the eares of the lorde Sabaoth.

5 Ye have lived in pleasure on the erth and in wantannes. Ye have norysshed youre hertes as in a daye of slaughter.

6 Ye have condempned and have killed the iust and he hath not resisted you.

7 Be pacient therfore brethren vnto the commynge of the lorde. Beholde the husbande man wayteth for the precious frute of the erth and hath longe pacience ther vppon vntill he receave (the erly and the latter rayne.)

8 Be ye also pacient therfore and settle youre hertes for ye commynge of the lorde draweth nye.

9 Grodge not one agaynst another brethre lest ye be dapned. Beholde the iudge stondeth before the dore.
