1:13 Let no man saye when he is tempted that he is tempted of god: for god tempteth not vnto evyll: he tempteth no mā: Let no man saye when he is tēpted that he is tempted of God. For God tēpteth not vnto evyll/ nether tēpteth he anie mā. Let no man saye when he is tempted/ that he is tempted of God. For God tempteth not vnto euyll/ nether tempteth he anye man. Let no man saye when he is tempted, yt he is tempted of God. For God tēpteth not vnto euell, nether tēpteth he eny man.
1:14 But every man is tēpted drawne a waye/ and entysed of his awne cōcupiscence. But every mā is tēpted/ drawne awaye/ & entysed of his awne concupiscēce. But euery man is tempted/ drawne awaye/ and entysed of his awne cōcupiscence. But euery mā is tēpted, drawne awaye, & entysed of his awne cōcupiscēce.

Wherfore deare brethren/ let euery man be swyfte to heare/ slowe to speake/ and slowe to wrath. Wherfore deare brethren, let euery man be swifte to heare, slowe to speake, and slowe to wrath.
1:20 For the wrathe off man worketh not that which is righteous before God. For the wrath of man worketh not that which is ryghteous before God. For the wrath of man worketh not that which is ryghteous before God. For the wrath of mā worketh not that which is righteous before God.
1:21 Wherfore laye a parte all filthynes/ all superfluite off maliciousnes/ and receave with meknes the worde that is grafted in you/ which is able to save youre soules: Wherfore laye a parte all fylthynes/ all superfluite of maliciousnes/ and receave with meknes the worde yt is grafted in you/ which is able to save youre soules. Wherfore laye a parte all filthynes/ all superfluyte of maliciousnes/ and receaue with meknes/ the worde that is graffed in you/ which is able to saue youre soules. Wherfore laye aparte all fylthines, all superfluite of maliciousnes, & receaue with meknes ye worde yt is grafted in you, which is able to saue youre soules.
1:22 And se that ye be doares of the worde ād not heares only/ deceavīge youre owne selves. And se that ye be doars of the worde & not hearers only/ deceavinge youre awne selves with sophistrie And se that ye be doars of the worde and not hearers only/ deceauynge youre awne selues with sophistrye. And se that ye be doers of ye worde & not heares only, deceauinge youre awne selues.
1:23 For yff a man heare the worde/ and do it not/ he is lyke vnto a man that beholdeth his boddyly face in a glasse. For yf eny heare the worde/ and do it not/ he is lyke vnto a man that beholdeth his bodyly face in a glasse. For yf eny heare the worde/ & do it not/ he is lyke vnto a man that beholdeth his bodyly face in a glasse. For yf eny heare the worde, and do it not, he is like vnto a mā that beholdeth his bodily face in a glasse.
1:24 For as sone as he hath loked on hym silfe/ he goeth his waye/ and hath immediatly forgotten what his fassion was: For assone as he hath loked on him silfe/ he goeth his waye/ & forgetteth immediatlie what his fassion was. For assone as he hath loked on him selfe/ he goeth his waye/ and forgetteth immediatlye what his fassion was. For assone as he hath loked on him selfe, he goeth his waye, and forgetteth immediatly what his fasshion was.
1:25 but whosoever loketh in the parfait lawe off libertie/ and continueth there in (yf he be not a forgettfull hearer/ but a doar off the worke) he shalbe happi in his dede. But who so loketh in the parfaict lawe of libertie/ and continueth ther in (yf he be not a forgetfull hearer/ but a doar of ye worke) the same shallbe happie in his dede. But who so loketh in the parfayct lawe of libertie/ and continueth ther in (yf he be not a forgetfull hearer/ but a doar of the worke) the same shalbe happye in his dede. But who so loketh in ye perfect lawe of libertie, and continueth therin (yf he be not a forgetfull hearer, but a doar of the worke) the same shalbe happie in his dede.
1:26 Yff eny man amonge you seme devoute/ and refrayne not his tonge: but deceave his owne herte/ this mannes devocion is in vayne. Yf eny man amonge you seme devoute/ and refrayne not his tonge: but deceave his awne herte/ this mannes devocion is in vayne Yf eny man amonge you seme deuoute/ and refrayne not his tonge: but deceaue his awne herte/ this mannes deuocion is in vayne. Yf eny man amonge you seme deuoute, & refrayne not his tōge: but deceaue his awne herte, this mannes deuocion is in vayne.
1:27 Pure devocion and vndefiled before God the father/ is this: To vysit the frendlesse/ and widdowes in their adversite/ and to kepe hym silfe vnspotted from the worlde. Pure devocion and vndefiled before God the father/ is this: to vysit the frendlesse and widdowes in their adversite/ and to kepe him silfe vnspotted of the worlde.

2:24 Ye se then howe that off dedes a man is iustified/ and nott off fayth only. Ye se then how that of dedes a man is iustified/ & not of fayth only. Ye se then how that of dedes a man is iustified/ and not of fayth only. Ye se then how that of dedes a man is iustified, and not of faith only
2:25 Lyke wyse also was not Raab the harlot iustifyed when she receaved the messengers/ and sent thē out a nother waye? Lyke wyse also was not Raab the harlot iustifyed thorow workes/ when she receaved the messengers/ & sent thē out another waye? Lykewyse also was not Raab the harlot iustified thorow workes/ when she receaued the messengers/ and sent them out another waye? Likewise also was not Raab the harlot iustified thorow workes, when she receaued the messengers, and sent them out another waye?
2:26 For as the body/ with out the sprete is deed/ evē so fayth with out dedes is deed. For as the body/ with oute the sprete is deed/ evē so fayth with out dedes is deed For as the body/ with oute the sprete is deed/ euen so fayth with out dedes is deed. For as the body, with oute the sprete is deed, euen so faith wt out dedes is deed.
