deedli thing schal clothe undeedlynesse | thanne schal
the word be don that is written | deeth is sopun up in victorie |
deeth, where is thi victorie? deeth, where is thi pricke?

Tyndale:--

Beholde I shewe you a mystery. We shall not all slepe: but we shall
all be chaunged | and that in a moment | and in the twinclinge of an
eye | at the sounde of the last trompe. For the trompe shall blowe,
and the deed shall ryse incorruptible and we shalbe chaunged. For
this corruptible must put on incorruptibilite: and this mortall must
put on immortalite. When this corruptible hath put on
incorruptibilite | and this mortall hath put on immortalite: than
shalbe brought to pass the saying that is written, 'Deeth is
consumed in to victory.' Deeth, where is thy stynge? Hell, where is
thy victory?

The Authorised Version:--

Behold, I shew you a mystery; we shall not all sleepe, but wee shall
all be changed, in a moment, in the twinckling of an eye, at the
last trumpe, (for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be
raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed). For this corruptible
must put on incorruption, and this mortall must put on immortalitie.
So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this
mortall shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to
passe the saying that is written, 'Death is swallowed up in
victory.' O Death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy
victory?]

LECTURE VIII.

ON THE LINEAGE OF ENGLISH LITERATURE (I)

Wednesday, October 22

You may think it strange, Gentlemen, that of a course of ten lectures
which aim to treat English Literature as an affair of practice, I should
propose to spend two in discussing our literary lineage: a man's lineage
and geniture being reckoned, as a rule, among the things he cannot be
reasonably asked to amend. But since of high breeding is begotten (as
most of us believe) a disposition to high thoughts, high deeds; since to
have it and be modestly conscious of it is to carry within us a faithful
monitor persuading us to whatsoever in conduct is gentle, honourable,
