1 In ye former treatise O Theophilus, we haue spoke of all that Iesus began to do and teache,

2 Untyll the day in which he was take vp, after that he through the holy ghost, had geuen commaundementes vnto the Apostles, whom he had chosen,

3 To whom also he shewed hym selfe alyue after his passion, and that by manye tokens, appearyng vnto them fourtie dayes, and speaking of the kingdome of God,

4 And gatheryng them together, commaunded them that they shoulde not depart from Hierusalem, but wayte for the promise of the father, wherof saith he ye haue hearde of me.

5 For Iohn truely baptized with water, but ye shalbe baptized with the holy ghost, after these fewe dayes.

6 When they therfore were come together, they asked of hym, saying: Lorde, wylt thou at this tyme restore agayne the kyngdome to Israel?

7 And he sayde vnto them: It is not for you to knowe the tymes, or the seasons, which the father hath put in his owne power.
