Part 50

Hezekiah also sent his counsellors clad in haircloth to the prophet Isaiah, thus saying, "Raise thy prayers for the people of Israel, that the Almighty God may hear the calumnies which the king of Assyria has sent in scorn and reproach of his great majesty." Then answered the prophet Isaiah to the messengers, "Say to your lord that he be fearless. God Almighty saith, Sennacherib shall not shoot arrows into the city of Jerusalem, nor with his shield overpower it; but I will cast a hook into his nose, and a bridle on his lips, and I will lead him back to his people, and I will cause him to fall under the sword's edge in his own country; and I will {571} shield the city for myself and for my servant David." Then on that night God's angel went, and slew of the Assyrian king's army a hundred and eighty-five thousand men. On the morrow Sennacherib arose, and saw the dead bodies, and turned with great shame back to the city of Nineveh. It happened then that he was praying to his idol, and his two sons slew him with the sword, as the prophet through the Spirit of God had prophesied.

After that Nebuchadnezzar, the Chaldean king, commanded the three believing youths, Hananiah, Azariah, and Mishael, to be bound hands and feet, and cast into a burning oven; because they would not pray to his idol. But the Almighty God, in whom they stedfastly believed, sent his angel into the oven with the youths, and he scattered the flame from the oven, so that the fire might not hurt them, but struck out of the oven nine and forty fathoms, and burned the executioners who had kindled the fire. Then the king beheld the hair and bodies of the three youths, thus saying, "Blessed be your God, who hath sent his angel, and so mightily released his servants from the burning oven."

Also afterwards, in the days of Cyrus the king, the Babylonians accused the prophet Daniel, because he had cast down their idol, and said unanimously to the beforesaid king Cyrus, "Deliver unto us Daniel, who hath cast down our god Bel, and slain the dragon, in which we believed. If thou protectest him, we will destroy thee and thine household." Then the king saw that they were unanimous, and unwillingly delivered the prophet into their hands. They then cast him into a pit, in which were seven lions, to which were given daily two oxen and two sheep, but then all food had been withheld from them for six days, that they might devour the man of God.

At that time there was another prophet in the land of Judah, his name was Habakkuk, who bare for his reapers meat to the field. Then God's angel came to him, and said, {573} "Habakkuk, bear the meat to Babylon, and give it to Daniel, who sitteth in the lions' pit." Habakkuk answered the angel, "Sir, I never saw the city, nor know I the pit." Then the angel seized him by the hair, and bare him to Babylon, and set him above the pit. Then Habakkuk cried, "Thou servant of God, Daniel, take this gift which God hath sent thee." Daniel said, "My Lord Jesus, be to thee praise and honour, for that thou hast remembered me." And he then ate of the dish. And the angel of the Lord straightways brought the minister of food, Habakkuk, to the place whence he had before taken him. Then the king Cyrus on the seventh day went sad to the lions' pit, and looked in, and behold, there was Daniel sitting unhurt in the midst of the lions. Then the king cried with a loud voice, "Great is the God in whom Daniel believeth." And he then with that word drew him from the den, and ordered those to be cast in who before would fordo him. The king's command was quickly executed, and the prophet's persecutors were thrust among the lions, and they straightways with greedy jaws tore them all in pieces. Then said the king, "Let all dwellers on earth fear and dread the God of Daniel, for he is the Redeemer and Saviour, working signs and wonders in heaven and on earth."

In the New Testament, after Christ's passion, and his resurrection and ascension to heaven, the Jews were filled with envy towards his apostles, and brought them into prison. In the same night God's angel undid the locks of the prison, and led them out, thus saying, "Go to the temple, and preach to the folk the word of life." And they so did. Then the Jews on the morrow deliberated concerning the destruction of the apostles, and sent to the prison, that they might be fetched. The executioners then opened the prison, and found no one. They then announced to their elders, "We have found the prison fast closed, and the wards standing without, but we found no one within."

{575} After that Herod, king of Judah, set the apostle Peter in prison bound with two chains, and set wards within and without: but on the night when the impious king would slay him on the morrow, God's angel came shining from heaven, and led him out through the iron gates, and on the morrow the prison again stood fast locked.

Domitian, the heathen emperor, commanded the evangelist John to be cast into boiling oil, but he, through God's protection, went out as unhurt as when he was cast in. To the same John an idolater gave poison to drink, but he, after the draught, continued sound and uninjured.

Paul the apostle wrote concerning himself, and said, that he passed one day and one night at the bottom of the sea. Again, on a time a serpent seized him by the finger, but he shook it into the burning fire, and he felt nothing of the poison.

No earthly man may by writings make known, nor with tongue relate how often the Almighty Ruler has saved his chosen from divers perils, to the praise and honour of his majesty. But he very often allows the impious greatly to afflict his saints, sometimes with painful persecution, sometimes with slaying, that fierce persecution may end for the righteous in eternal rest, and for the murderers in eternal torment. The psalmist said, "Many are the tribulations of the righteous, but the Lord from all these will release them." In two ways God releases his chosen, openly and secretly. Openly they are released, when in sight of men they are saved, as we have now recounted to you. Secretly they are released, when through martyrdom they come to heavenly honours. If they suffer for true faith or for righteousness, they will then be martyrs. But if they are slain guiltless, their innocence will lead them to the fellowship of God's saints; for innocence ever continues secure. But if any one suffers persecution for sins, and knows himself, so that he {577} inwardly pray for God's mercy, then will the transient punishment prevent eternal damnation. For crimes were the two thieves punished who were crucified with Christ, but one of them with great faith prayed to Christ, thus saying, "Lord, think of me when thou comest to thy kingdom." Christ answered him, "Verily I say unto thee, now to-day thou shalt be with me in the joy of paradise." Against our will we may lose the transitory good, but against our will we never lose the eternal good. Though the cruel robber bereave us of our property, or deprive us of life, he cannot take from us our faith or the eternal life, if we do not of our own will pervert ourselves. May the true Lord save us from all perils, and lead us to everlasting life, who liveth and reigneth ever without end. Amen.

Fisceras and ungetogene menn geceas Drihten him to leorning-cnihtum, and h['i] swa geteah, thaet heora l['a]r oferst['a]h ealne woruld-wisdom, and h['i] mid heora bodunge caseras and cyningas to sodhum {578} geleafan gebigdon.

Petrus and Andreas, be Cristes haese, dhaerrihte forleton heora nett, and him fyligdon. Ne gesawon h['i] dha-gyt hine aenige wundra wyrcan, ne h['i] naht ne gehyrdon dha-gyt aet his mudhe be m['e]de thaes ecan edleanes, and h['i] dheah, aefter stemne anre haese, thaet thaet hi haefdon forgeaton. Fela Godes wundra we habbadh gehyred and eac gesewene; mid manegum swingelum gel['o]me we sind geswencte, and mid menigfealdum dheowracena teartnyssum gebregede, and swa-dheah we forseodh Godes haese, and him to l['i]fes wege fylian nelladh.

Cwydh nu sum mann, Ic wolde geefenlaecan tham apostolum, the ealle woruld-dhing forsawon, ac ic naebbe n['a]ne aehta to forlaetenne. Ac God sceawadh thaes mannes heortan, and na his aehta.

Efne nu thas halgan c['y]pan, Petrus and Andreas, mid heora nettum and scipe him thaet ece l['i]f geceapodon.

Naefdh Godes rice n['a]nes wurdhes lofunge, ac bidh gelofod be dhaes mannes haefene. Heofonan rice waes alaeten thisum foresaedum gebrodhrum for heora nette and scipe, and eft sydhdhan dham rican Zache['o] to healfum daele his aehta, and sumere wudewan to ['a]num feordhlinge, and sumum menn to anum waeteres drence. Ic wene thaet thas word ne sind eow full cudhe, gif we h['i] openlicor eow ne onwreodh. "Zach['e]us waes sum rice mann, and cepte thaes Haelendes faer, and wolde geseon hwilc h['e] waere; ac he ne mihte for dhaere menigu dhe him mid ferde, fordhan dhe h['e] waes scort on waestme. Tha for['a]rn h['e] dham Haelende, and stah uppon an treow, thaet he hine geseon mihte.

Thadha Zach['e]us Crist {582} geladhod haefde, dha ast['o]d he aetforan him, and him anmodlice to cwaedh, "Drihten, efne ic todaele healfne d['ae]l minra g['o]da dhearfum, and swa hwaet swa ic mid f['a]cne berypte, thaet ic wylle be feowerfealdum forgyldan."

Tha haefde Zacheus beceapod heofonan rice mid healfum d['ae]le his aehta: dhone otherne dael he heold to dhy thaet h['e] wolde tham be feowerfealdum forgyldan, the h['e] ['ae]r unrihtlice bereafode.

Eft, "Aet sumum saele gesaet se Haelend binnan dham temple on Hierusalem, aetforan dham madhm-huse, and beheold h['u] thaet folc heora aelmyssan wurpon into dham madhm-huse, and dha fela rican brohton micele dhing.

Tha haefde seo earme wudewe mid lytlum feo, thaet is, mid ['a]num feordhlinge, thaet ece l['i]f geceapod.

Se Haelend cwaedh on sumere stowe to his apostolum, "Sodh ic eow secge, Swa hw['a] swa syldh ceald waeter drincan anum thurstigan menn dhaera dhe on me gelyfadh, ne bidh his m['e]d forloren."

Be dhisum cwaedh se sealm-scop, "In me sunt, Deus, uota tua, quae reddam laudationes tibi:" "God Aelmihtig, on me synd thine beh['a]t, tha ic dhe forgylde dhurh h['e]runga."
