3And the nexte daye we came to Sidon. And Iulius courteously entreated Paul and gave him liberte to goo vnto his frendes and to refresshe him selfe.Select Acts 27:3

4And from thence lanched we and sayled harde by Cypers because the wyndes were contrarye.Select Acts 27:4

8and with moche worke sayled beyonde yt and came vnto a place called good porte. Nye whervnto was a citie called Lasea.Select Acts 27:8

9When moche tyme was spent and saylinge was now ieoperdeous because also that we had overlonge fasted Paul put them in remembraunceSelect Acts 27:9

10and sayde vnto them Syrs I perceave that this vyage wilbe with hurte and moche domage not of the ladynge and ship only: but also of oure lyves.Select Acts 27:10

11Neverthelather the vndercaptayne beleved the governer and the master better then tho thinges which were spoken of Paul.Select Acts 27:11

12And because the haven was not comodius to wynter in many toke counsell to departe thence yf by eny meanes they myght attayne to Phenices and there to wynter which is an haven of Candy and servith to the southwest and northwest wynde.Select Acts 27:12

13When the south wynde blewe they supposynge to obtayne their purpose lowsed vnto Asson and sayled paste all Candy.Select Acts 27:13

14But anone after ther arose agaynste their purpose a flawe of wynde out of the northeeste.Select Acts 27:14

15And when the ship was caught and coulde not resist the wynde we let her goo and drave with the wether.Select Acts 27:15

16And we came vnto an yle named Clauda and had moche worke to come by aboteSelect Acts 27:16

17which they toke vp and vsed helpe vndergerdynge the shippe fearynge lest we shuld have fallen into Syrtes and we let doune a vessell and so were caryed.Select Acts 27:17

18The nexte daye when we were tossed wt an exceadynge tempest they lyghtened ye shipSelect Acts 27:18

19and the thyrde daye we cast out with oure awne hondes the tacklynge of the shippe.Select Acts 27:19

20When at the last nether sunne nor starre in many dayes appered and no small tempest laye apon vs all hope that we shuld be saved was then taken awaye.Select Acts 27:20

21Then after longe abstinence Paul stode forth in the myddes of them and sayde: Syrs ye shulde have harkened to me and not have lowsed from Candy nether to have brought vnto vs this harme and losse.Select Acts 27:21

22And nowe I exhorte you to be of good chere. For ther shalbe no losse of eny mas lyfe amonge you save of the ship only.Select Acts 27:22

23For ther stode by me this nyght the angell of God whose I am and whom I serveSelect Acts 27:23

24sayinge: feare not Paul for thou must be brought before Cesar. And lo God hath geven vnto the all that sayle with ye.Select Acts 27:24

25Wherfore Syrs be of good chere: for I beleve God that so it shalbe even as it was tolde me.Select Acts 27:25

26How be it we must be cast into a certayne ylonde.Select Acts 27:26

27But when ye fourtethe nyght was come as we were caryed in Adria about mydnyght the shipmen demed that ther appered some countre vnto the:Select Acts 27:27

28and sounded and founde it .xx. feddoms. And when they had gone a lytell further they sounded agayne and founde .xv. feddoms.Select Acts 27:28

29Then fearinge lest they shuld have fallen on some Rocke they cast .iiii. ancres out of the sterne and wysshed for ye daye.Select Acts 27:29

30As the shipmen were about to fle out of the ship and had let doune the bote into the see vnder a coloure as though they wolde have cast ancres out of the forshippe:Select Acts 27:30

31Paul sayd vnto ye vnder captayne and the soudiers: excepte these abyde in the ship ye cannot be safe.Select Acts 27:31

32Then the soudiers cut of the rope of the bote and let it fall awaye.Select Acts 27:32

33And in ye meane tyme betwixt that and daye Paul besought them all to take meate sayinge: this is ye fourtenthe daye that ye have taried and continued fastynge receavinge nothinge at all.Select Acts 27:33

34Wherfore I praye you to take meate: for this no dout is for youre helth: for ther shall not an heere fall fro the heed of eny of you.Select Acts 27:34

35And when he had thus spoke he toke breed and gave thankes to God in presence of the all and brake it and begane to eate.Select Acts 27:35

36Then were they all of good cheare and they also toke meate.Select Acts 27:36

37We were all together in ye ship two hundred thre score and sixtene soules.Select Acts 27:37

38And whe they had eate ynough they lightened ye ship and cast out the wheate into the see.Select Acts 27:38

39Whe yt was daye they knew not ye lande but they spied a certayne haven with a banke into ye which they were mynded (yf yt were possible) to thrust in the ship.Select Acts 27:39

40And when they had taken vp the ancres they comytted them selves vnto the see and lowsed the rudder bondes and hoysed vp ye mayne sayle to the wynde and drue to londe.Select Acts 27:40

41But they chaunsed on a place which had the see on bothe the sydes and thrust in the ship. And the foore parte stucke fast and moved not but ye hynder brake with the violence of the waves.Select Acts 27:41

42The soudears counsell was to kyll ye presoners lest eny of them when he had swome out shulde fle awaye.Select Acts 27:42

43But the vndercaptayne willinge to save Paul kept the from their purpose and commaunded that they yt could swyme shulde cast the selves first in to ye see and scape to londe.Select Acts 27:43

44And the other he comaunded to goo some on bordes and some on broken peces of the ship. And so it came to passe that they came all safe to londe.Select Acts 27:44
