5And so were the congregacions stablisshed in the fayth and encreased in noumbre dayly.
6When they had goone thorow out Phrigia and the region of Galacia and were forbydde of the holy gost to preach the worde in Asia
7they came to Misia and sought to goo into Bethinia. But the sprete soffered them not.
8Then they went over Misia and cam doune to Troada.
9And a vision appered to Paul in the nyght. There stode a man of Macedonia and prayed him sayinge: come into Macedonia and helpe vs.
10After he had sene the vision immediatly we prepared to goo into Macedonia certified that the lorde had called vs for to preache the gospell vnto them.
11Then lowsed we forth from Troada and with a strayght course came to Samothracia and the nexte daye to Neapolim
12and from thence to Philippos which is the chefest citie in the partes of Macedonia and a fre cite. We were in that cite abydynge a certayne dayes.
13And on the saboth dayes we went out of the cite besydes a ryver where men were wont to praye and we sate doune and spake vnto the wemen which resorted thyther.
14And a certayne woman named Lydia a seller of purple of the cite of Thiatira which worshipped God gave vs audience. Whose hert the Lorde opened that she attended vnto the thinges which Paul spake.
15When she was baptised and her housholde she besought vs sayinge: Yf ye thinke that I beleve on the Lorde come into my housse and abyde there. And she constrayned vs.
16And it fortuned as we went to prayer a certayn damsell possessed with a sprete that prophesied met vs which brought her master and mastres moche vauntage with prophesyinge.
17The same folowed Paul and vs and cryed sayinge: these men are the servauntes of the most hye God which shewe vnto vs the waye of salvacion.
18And this dyd she many dayes. But Paul not content, turned about and sayd to the sprete: I commaunde the in the name of Iesu Christ that thou come out of her. And he came out the same houre.
19And when her master and mastres sawe that the hope of their gaynes was gone they caught Paul and Sylas and drue the into the market place vnto the rulars
20and brought them to the officers sayinge: These men trouble oure cite which are Iewes
21and preache ordinaunces which are not laufull for vs to receave nether to observe seinge we are Romayns.
22And the people ranne on them and the officers rent their clothes and commaunded them to be beaten with roddes.
23And when they had beaten them sore they cast them into preson commaundynge the iayler to kepe them surely.
