| 1 | Forsothe in that tyme Miyhel, the greet prince, schal rise, that stondith for the sones of thi puple. And tyme schal come, what maner tyme was not, fro that tyme fro which folkis bigunnen to be, `vn to that tyme. And in that tyme thi puple schal be saued, ech that is foundun writun in the book of life. |
| 2 | And many of hem that slepen in the dust of erthe, schulen awake fulli, summe in to euerlastynge lijf, and othere in to schenschipe, that thei se euere. |
| 3 | Forsothe thei that ben tauyt, schulen schyne as the schynyng of the firmament, and thei that techen many men to riytfulnesse, schulen schyne as sterris in to euerlastynge euerlastyngnessis. |
| 4 | But thou, Danyel, close the wordis, and aseele the book, til to the tyme ordeyned; ful many men schulen passe, and kunnyng schal be many fold. |
| 5 | And Y, Danyel, siy, and lo! as tweyne othere men stood; oon stood on this side, on the brenk of the flood, and another on that side, on the tother part of the flood. |
| 6 | And Y seide to the man, that was clothid in lynnun clothis, that stood on the watris of the flood, Hou long schal be the ende of these merueils? |
| 7 | And Y herde the man, that was clothid in lynnun clothis, that stood on the watris of the flood, whanne he hadde reisid his riythond and lefthond to heuene, and hadde sworun by hym that lyueth with outen ende, For in to a tyme, and tymes, and the half of tyme. And whanne the scateryng of the hoond of the hooli puple is fillid, alle these thingis schulen be fillid. |
| 8 | And Y herde, and vndurstood not; and Y seide, My lord, what schal be aftir these thingis? |
| 9 | And he seide, Go thou, Danyel, for the wordis ben closid and aseelid, til to the tyme determyned. |
| 10 | Many men schulen be chosun, and schulen be maad whijt, and schulen be preued as fier, and wickid men schulen do wickidli, nether alle wickid men schulen vndurstonde; certis tauyt men schulen vndurstonde. |

| 12 | He is blessid, that abideth, and cometh fulli, til a thousynde daies thre hundrid and fyue and thritti. |
| 13 | But go thou, Danyel, to the tyme determyned; and thou schalt reste, and stonde in thi part, in the ende of daies. |
| 13a | 13:1 A man was in Babiloyne, and his name was Joachim. |
| 13aa | 13:27 But after that the elde men spaken, the seruauntis weren aschamed greetly, for neuer was siche a word seid of Susanne. And the morew dai was maad. |

| 13ad | 13:30 And sche cam with hir fadir, and modir, and children, and alle kynesmen. |
| 13ae | 13:31 Certis Susanne was ful delicat, and fair of schap. |
| 13af | 13:32 And tho wickid men comaundiden, that sche schulde be vnhilid, for sche was kyuered; that nameli so thei schuldun be fillid of hir fairnesse. |
| 13ag | 13:33 Therfor hir kynesmen wepten, and alle that knewen hir. |
| 13ah | 13:34 Forsothe the twei prestis risiden togidere in the myddis of the puple, and settiden her hondis on the heed of hir. |
| 13ai | 13:35 And sche wepte, and bihelde to heuene, and hir herte hadde trist in the Lord. |
| 13aj | 13:36 And the prestis seiden, Whanne we walkiden aloone in the gardyn, this Susanne entride with twei damesels; and sche closide the dore of the gardyn, and lefte the damesels. |
| 13ak | 13:37 And a yong man, that was hid, cam to hir, and lai bi hir. |
| 13al | 13:38 Certis whanne we weren in a corner of the gardyn, we sien the wickidnesse, and runnen to hem, and we sien hem meddlid togidere. |
| 13am | 13:39 And sotheli we myyten not take hym, for he was strongere than we; and whanne he hadde opened the doris, he skippide out. |
| 13an | 13:40 But whanne we hadde take this womman, we axiden, who was the yonge man; and sche nolde schewe to vs. Of this thing we ben witnessis. |

| 13ap | 13:42 Forsothe Susanne criede loud with greet vois, and seide, Lord God, without bigynnyng and ende, that art knowere of hid thingis, that knowist alle thingis bifore that tho ben don; |
| 13aq | 13:43 thou wost, that thei han bore fals witnessyng ayens me. And lo! Y dye, whanne Y haue not do ony of these thingis, whiche these men han maad maliciously ayens me. |

| 13as | 13:45 And whanne she was led to the deth, the Lord reiside the hooli spirit of a yonge child, whos name was Danyel. |
| 13at | 13:46 And he criede loude with a greet vois, Y am cleene of the blood of this womman. |
| 13au | 13:47 And al the puple turned ayen to hym, and seide, What is this word, which thou hast spoke? |
| 13av | 13:48 And whanne he stood in the myddis of hem, he seide, So ye, fonned children of Israel, not demynge nether knowynge that that is trewe, condempneden the douyter of Israel. |
| 13aw | 13:49 Turne ye ayen to the dom, for thei spaken fals witnessyng ayens hir. |
| 13ax | 13:50 Therfor the puple turnede ayen with haaste. And the elde men seiden to hym, Come thou, and sitte in the myddis of vs, and schewe to vs; for God hath youe to thee the onour of eelde. |
| 13ay | 13:51 And Danyel seide to hem, Departe ye hem atwynny fer, and Y schal deme hem. |
| 13az | 13:52 Therfor, whanne thei weren departid oon fro the tother, he clepide oon of hem, and seide to hym, Thou elde man of yuel daies, now thi synnes ben comun, whiche thou wrouytist bifore, |
| 13b | 13:2 And he took a wijf, Susanne bi name, the douyter of Helchie, a womman ful fair, and dredynge the Lord. |
| 13ba | 13:53 demynge vniust domes, oppressynge innocentis, and delyuerynge gilti men, whanne the Lord seith, Thou schalt not sle an innocent and iust man. |
| 13bb | 13:54 But now if thou siest hir, seie thou, vndur what tree thou siest hem spekynge togidere to hem silf? Which seide, Vndur an haw tree. |
| 13bc | 13:55 Forsothe Danyel seide, Riytli thou liest in thin heed; for lo! the angel of the Lord, bi a sentence takun of hym, schal kitte thee bi the myddil. |
| 13bd | 13:56 And whanne he was stirid awei, he comaundide the tother to come, and seide to hym, Thou seed of Canaan, and not of Juda, fairnesse hath disseyued thee, and coueitise hath misturned thin herte; |
| 13be | 13:57 thus ye diden to the douytris of Israel, and thei dredden, and spaken to you, but the douyter of Juda suffride not youre wickidnesse. |
| 13bf | 13:58 Now therfor seie thou to me, vndur what tree thou siest hem spekynge togidere to hem silf? |
| 13bg | 13:59 Which seide, Vndur a blak thorn. Forsothe Danyel seide to hym, Riytli also thou liest in thin heed; for the aungel of the Lord dwellith, and hath a swerd, that he kitte thee bi the myddil, and sle you. |

| 13bi | 13:61 And thei risiden togidere ayens the twei preestis; for Danyel hadde conuyctid hem bi her mouth, that thei hadden bore fals witnessyng; and thei diden to hem, as thei hadden do yuele ayens the neiyboresse, |
| 13bj | 13:62 that thei schulden do bi the lawe of Moises, and thei killiden hem. And giltles blood was sauyd in that dai. |
| 13bk | 13:63 Forsothe Helchie and his wijf herieden the Lord in that day, for Susanne, her douyter, with Joachym, hir hosebonde, and with alle hir kynesmen, for a foul thing was not foundun in hir. |
| 13bl | 13:64 Forsothe Danyel was maad greet in the siyt of the puple, fro that dai and afterward. |
| 13bm | 13:65 And kyng Astriages was put to his fadris, and Sirus of Perseis took his rewme. |

| 13bp | 14:3 And the kyng worschipede that Beel, and yede ech dai to onoure hym; certis Danyel worschipide his God. And the kyng seide to hym, Whi worschipist thou not Beel? |
| 13bq | 14:4 Which answeride, and seide to him, For Y worschipe not idols maad bi hond, but God lyuynge, that made of nouyt heuene and erthe, and hath power of ech fleisch. |
| 13br | 14:5 And the kyng seide to hym, Whether it semeth not to thee, that Bel is a lyuynge god? whether thou seest not, hou grete thingis he etith and drynkith ech dai? |
| 13bs | 14:6 And Daniel seide leiyinge, Kyng, erre thou not; for whi this Bel is of clei with ynne, and of bras withoutforth, and etith not ony tyme. |
| 13bt | 14:7 And the king was wroth, and clepide the preestis therof, and seide to hem, If ye seien not to me, who it is that etith these costis, ye schulen die. |
| 13bu | 14:8 Forsothe if ye schewen that Bel etith these thingis, Daniel schal die, for he blasfemede Bel. And Daniel seide to the king, Be it don bi thi word. |
| 13bv | 14:9 Forsothe the prestis of Bel weren seuenti, outakun wyues, and litle children, ether seruauntis, and sones. And the kyng cam with Daniel in to the temple of Bel. |
| 13bw | 14:10 And the preestis of Bel seiden, Lo! we schulen go out, and thou, kyng, sette meetis, and meddle wyn, and close thou the dore, and aseele it with thi ryng. |
| 13bx | 14:11 And whanne thou entrist eerli, if thou fyndist not alle thingis etun of Bel, we schulen die bi deth, ether Daniel schal die, that liede ayens vs. |
| 13by | 14:12 Sotheli thei tristiden, for thei hadden maad a priuy entryng vndur the boord, and bi it thei entriden euere, and deuouriden tho thingis. |
| 13bz | 14:13 Forsothe it was don, aftir that thei yeden out, and the king settide metis bifor Bel, Daniel comaundide to hise children, and thei brouyten aischis, and he riddlide thorouy al the temple bifor the kyng. And thei yeden out, and closiden the dore, and aseeliden with the ryng of the kyng, and yeden forth. |

| 13cb | 14:15 Forsothe the kyng roos moost eerli, and Daniel with hym. |
| 13cc | 14:16 And the kyng seide, Daniel, whether the seelis ben saaf? And he answeride, King, tho ben saaf. |
| 13cd | 14:17 And anoon whanne thei hadden openyd the dore, the king biheelde the boord, and he criede an hiy with a greet vois, Bel, thou art greet, and no gile is at thee. |
| 13ce | 14:18 And Daniel leiyede, and he helde the kyng, that he entride not with ynne. And Daniel seide, Lo! the pawment, perseyue thou whos steppis these ben. |
| 13cf | 14:19 And the kyng seide, Y se steppis of men, and of wymmen, and of yonge children. And the kyng was wrooth. |

| 13ch | 14:21 Therfor the kyng killide hem, and bitook Bel in to the power of Daniel, which distriede thilke Bel, and his temple. |
| 13ci | 14:22 And a greet dragoun was in that place, and Babiloyns worschipiden it. |
| 13cj | 14:23 And the kyng seide to Daniel, Lo! now thou maist not seie, that this is not a quik god; therfor worschipe thou hym. |
| 13ck | 14:24 And Daniel seide to the kyng, Y worschipe my Lord God, for he is God lyuynge. |
| 13cl | 14:25 But thou, kyng, yyue power to me, and Y schal sle the dragoun, with out swerd and staf. And the kyng seide, Y yyue to thee. |
| 13cm | 14:26 Therfor Daniel took pitch, and talow, and heeris, and sethide togidere; and he made gobetis, and yaf in to the mouth of the dragun; and the dragun was al to-brokun. And Daniel seide, Lo! whom ye worschipiden. |
| 13cn | 14:27 And whanne Babiloynes hadden herd this thing, thei hadden indignacioun greetli; and thei weren gaderid ayens the king, and seiden, The king is maad a Jew; he distriede Bel, and killide the dragun, and slow the preestis. |
| 13co | 14:28 And thei seiden, whanne thei weren comun to the kyng, Bitake thou to vs Daniel, that distriede Bel, and killide the dragun; ellis we schulen sle thee, and thin hous. |
| 13cp | 14:29 Therfor the kyng siy, that thei fellen in on hym greetli; and he was compellid bi nede, and he bitook Daniel to hem. |

| 13cu | 14:34 And Abacuk seide, Lord, Y siy not Babiloyne, and Y knew not the lake. |

| 13cx | 14:37 And Daniel seide, Lord God, thou hast mynde on me, and hast not forsake hem that louen thee. |
| 13cy | 14:38 And Daniel roos, and eet; certis the aungel of the Lord restoride Abacuk anoon in his place. |
| 13cz | 14:39 Therfor the kyng cam in the seuenthe dai to biweile Danyel; and he cam to the lake, and lokide in, and lo! Daniel sittynge in the myddis of liouns. |
