¹¹And great feare came on all the congregacion and on as many as hearde it.

¹²By the hondes of the Apostles were many signes and wondres shewed amonge the people. And they were all together with one acorde in Salomons porche.

¹³And of other durst no man ioyne him selfe to them: neverthelater the people magnyfied them.

¹⁴The noumbre of them that beleved in the Lorde bothe of men and wemen grewe moare and moare:

¹⁵in so moche that they brought the sicke into the strettes and layde them on beddes and palettes that at the lest waye the shadowe of Peter when he came by myght shadowe some of them.

¹⁶There came also a multitude out of the cities roud about vnto Ierusalem bringynge sicke folkes and them which were vexed with vnclene spretes. And they were healed every one.

¹⁷Then the chefe preste rose vp and all they that were with him (which is the secte of the Saduces) and were full of indignacion

¹⁸and layde hondes on the Apostles and put them in the comen preson.

¹⁹But the angell of the Lorde by nyght openned the preson dores and brought them forthe and sayde:

²⁰goo steppe forthe and speake in the temple to the people all the wordes of this lyfe.

²¹When they hearde that they entred into the temple erly in the morninge and taught. The chefe prest came and they that were with him and called a counsell to gedder and all the elders of the chyldren of Israel and sent to the preson to fet them.

²²When the ministres came and founde them not in the preson they returned and tolde
