Iames 5

1 Wicked rich men are to fear God's vengeance. 7 We ought to be patient in afflictions, after the example of the prophets, and Job: 12 to forbear swearing, 13 to pray in adversity, to sing in prosperity: 16 to acknowledge mutually our several faults, to pray one for another, 19 and to reduce a straying brother to the truth.

 5:1 ¶ Goe to 33 z5720 now, 3568 yee rich men, 4145 weepe 2799 z5657 and howle 3649 z5723 for 1909 your 5216 miseries 5004 that shall come vpon 1904 z5740 you.

 5:4 Beholde, 2400 z5628 the x3588 hire 3408 of the x3588 labourers 2040 which y3588 haue reaped downe 270 z5660 your 5216 fieldes, 5561 which y3588 is of 575 you 5216 kept backe by fraud, 650 z5772 cryeth: 2896 z5719 and 2532 the x3588 cryes y995 x994 of them which haue reaped, 2325 z5660 are entred 1525 z5754 into 1519 the x3588 eares 3775 of the Lord 2962 of Sabaoth. 4519

 5:5 Yee haue liued in pleasure 5171 z5656 on 1909 the x3588 earth, 1093 and 2532 bene wanton: 4684 z5656 ye haue nourished 5142 z5656 your 5216 hearts, 2588 as y5613 in 1722 a day 2250 of slaughter: 4967

 5:6 Yee haue condemned, 2613 z5656 [and] killed 5407 z5656 the x3588 iust, 1342 [and] he doth y498 z0 not 3756 resist 498 z5731 you. 5213 x1
