A strange and most wonderful Prophet whose generation was before Adam was created: He was not the wandering Jew, nor the son of Noah nor the old Levite, nor John the Baptist, as some people think. He was certainly, before them. The scripture makes mention of him, very particularly in Mark, Luke and John. Therefore, we may believe he was no imposter at all.

He knows not his parents, neither did suck his mothers breasts. His beard is as red as a cherry. He goes barefooted like a grave friar, both winter and summer. He wears no hat, but may often be seen with a crown upon his head. His coat is neither knit nor spun, silk nor hair, linen nor woolen, yet is a most beautiful colour.

Cha vel eh giu agh ynrican ushtey. Te ny s’arraltagh dy chummal ayns soalt na ayns plaase ree. Te mennick er e arrey; cha vel eh chadley ayns lhiabbee, agh soie fud ny hoie er stoyl carragh lesh e gharmad mysh.

He drinks only water. He would rather live in a barn than in a king’s palace. He is very watchful; he sleeps not in bed but remains all night in a singular kind of chair with his clothes on.
|
|
V’eh marish Noah ayns yn arg, as v’eh bio tra va Creest er ny chroshey.
|
He believes not in the Resurection, yet does not deny one word of the Christian faith.
|
|
Ta e chorraa bing as niartal. Ren eh keayrt preaçheil sharmane ren deyrey dooinney son peccah as coyrt er dobberan dy sharroo.
|
He was with Noah in the Ark, and was alive when Christ was crucified.
|
|
Cha vel eh credjal ayns yn irree reesht, ny-yeih cha vel eh gobbal fockle jeh’n chredjue creestee.
|
His voice is shrill and powerful. He once preached a sermon that convinced a man of his sins and caused him to weep most bitterly.
|
|
Te goaill floutyn voish deiney mitçhooragh lesh meenid.
|
He is content with the insults of wicked men.
|
|
Tra hig yn Çhiarn dy vriwnys yn seihll cha bee peccah currit ny lieh.
|
When the Lord cometh to judge the world, he will not be charged with sin.
