own Soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his father, with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works. Verily I say unto you, there be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the son of man comeing in his kingdom.
Matthew, Chapter 17
Chapter XVII Christ transfigered upon the Mountain &c
<​1/​> And after six days, Jesus taketh Peter, James, & John his brother, & bringeth them up into an high Mountain apart, & was transfigered before them; and his face did shine as the Sun, and his raiment was white as the light. And behold, there appeared unto them Moses & Elias <​2/​> talking with him. <​2/​> Then ansered Peter, & said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here; if thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles; one for thee, one for Moses, & one for Elias. While he yet spake, behold, a light cloud overshadowed them; & Behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, <​3/​> in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him. <​3/​> & <​And​> when the Deciples heard the voice, they fell on their faces, & were sore afraid. & <​And​> Jesus came & touched them, & said, Arise, & be not afraid. & <​And​> when they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no man, save <​4/​> Jesus only. <​4/​> & <​And​> as they came down from the mountain, Jesus Charged them, saying, Tell the vision to no man, untill the son of man be risen again from the dead. & <​And​> his deciples asked him, saying, Why then say the Scribes that Elias must first come? & <​And​> Jesus answered & said unto them, Elias truly shall first come, & restore all things. as the Prophets have written & again I say unto you that <​that​> Elias is <​has​> come already <​concerning whom it <​is​> written, Behold I will send my messenger and he shall prepare the way before me​> & they knew him not & have done unto him whatsoever they listed* Likewise shall also the Son of man suffer of them. But I say unto you, Who is Elias? Behold, this is Elias whom I send to prepare the way before me. Then the Deciples understood that he spake unto them of John the Baptist, & also of another which should come <​5/​> & restore all things, as they were <​it is​> written by the Prophets. <​5/​> & <​And​> when they were come to the multitude, there came to him a man kneeling down to him, & saying, Lord, have mercy on my Son; for he is Lunatick, & Sore vexed; for oft times he falleth into the fire, & oft into the water; & I brought him to thy Deciples, & they could not cure him. Then Jesus ansered & said, O! faithless & perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I suffer you? Bring [p. 32 (first numbering)]

Chapter XVII Christ transfigered upon the Mountain &c
1/ And after six days, Jesus taketh Peter, James, & John his brother, & bringeth them up into an high Mountain apart, & was transfigered before them; and his face did shine as the Sun, and his raiment was white as the light. And behold, there appeared unto them Moses & Elias 2/ talking with him. 2/ Then ansered Peter, & said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here; if thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles; one for thee, one for Moses, & one for Elias. While he yet spake, behold, a light cloud overshadowed them; & Behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, 3/ in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him. 3/ And when the Deciples heard the voice, they fell on their faces, & were sore afraid. And Jesus came & touched them, & said, Arise, & be not afraid. And when they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no man, save 4/ Jesus only. 4/ And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus Charged them, saying, Tell the vision to no man, untill the son of man be risen again from the dead. And his deciples asked him, saying, Why then say the Scribes that Elias must first come? And Jesus answered & said unto them, Elias truly shall first come, & restore all things. * Likewise shall also the Son of man suffer of them. But I say unto you, Who is Elias? Behold, this is Elias whom I send to prepare the way before me. Then the Deciples understood that he spake unto them of John the Baptist, & also of another which should come 5/ & restore all things, as it is written by the Prophets. 5/ & And when they were come to the multitude, there came to him a man kneeling down to him, & saying, Lord, have mercy on my Son; for he is Lunatick, & Sore vexed; for oft times he falleth into the fire, & oft into the water; & I brought him to thy Deciples, & they could not cure him.
