When 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.
16
And 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.
17
The 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.
18
And this dyd she many dayes. But Paul not cotent 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.
19
And when her master and mastres sawe yt the hope of their gaynes was gone they caught Paul and Sylas and drue the into the market place vnto the rulars
20
and brought them to the officers sayinge: These men trouble oure cite which are Iewes
21
and preache ordinaunces which are not laufull for vs to receave nether to observe seinge we are Romayns.
22
And the people ranne on them and the officers rent their clothes and comaunded them to be beaten with roddes.
23
And when they had beaten them sore they cast them into preson comaundynge the iayler to kepe them surely.
24
Which iayler when he had receaved suche comaundment thrust them into the ynner preson and made their fete fast in the stockes.
25
At mydnyght Paul and Sylas prayed and lauded God. And the presoners hearde them.
