A distant ancestor of mine wrote in his catechism copybook three beatitudes. The middle one said, "Blesed are thay that are naked for thay shall be clothed." This was written in c.1635 and I have seen the page. From what bible, used in church schools, did this come? Books cost a year's income back then so probably the Preacher was the only person to have a bible; thusly the copying. Thank you.

The Beatitudes are some of the teachings of Jesus, found in Matthew 5. While this verse is written in the correct "style", it is not specifically one of those teachings. It may have been written down as a joke (by a student) or it may have been an extemporation done by a preacher, and copied down by the listener.
It doesn't specifically appear in the Bible.

I think this was a personal note written by your ancestor or based on someone's teachings. It is not a direct quote from the Bible.

There are no beatitude that says blessed are they that are naked for they shall be clothed.
Matthew 25:43 - "I was a stranger, and you did not invite Me in; naked, and you did not clothe Me; sick, and in prison, and you did not visit Me."

I was thinking it might be from the KJV 1611, but I checked and it's not there.. if you find out let us know.
