[verse 1] In that day Jhesus goynge out of the hous, sat besidis the see. [verse 2] And manye cumpanyes `of peple [Om. UV sec. m.] ben [weren OUVW sec. m.] gedrid to hym, so that he steyinge vp [Om.

out to sowe his seed. [verse 4] And the while he soweth, sum felden [felle O. fellen X.] byside the weye, and briddis of the eyre camen, and eeten hem. [verse 5] Sothely other seedis [Om. OUV sec. m. W sec. m. X.] felden into stoony placis, wher thei hadden nat moche erthe; and anoon thei ben [Om. OUV.] sprungen vp, for [Om. W.] thei hadde nat depnesse of erthe. [verse 6] Sothely the sunne sprung vp, thei swaliden [welowiden U.] , or bren|den for hete [Om. OUV sec. m. X.] , and for thei hadden nat [none O.] roote, thei drieden vp. [verse 7] Forsothe other seedis [Om. OUX.] felden amonge thornis; and the [Om. OUV sec. m. W pr. m.] thornis wexen [wexeden O.] vp, and strangliden hem. [verse 8] But other seedis [Om.

[verse 9] He that hath eris of heerynge, heere he [Om. OUV pr. m.] . [verse 10] And disciplis [the disciples O.] `cummynge to [neiȝynge OUV sec. m.] seiden to hym, Whi spekist thou in parablis to hem? [verse 11] The [Om. OUV sec. m.] whiche answerynge seith [seide OUV sec. m.] to [vnto O.] hem, For to ȝou it is ȝouen for [Om. UV sec. m. X.] to knowe the [Om. O.] mysterie [misteries OU.] , `or priuyte [Om. OUX. or priuytees VW sec. m.] , of the kyng|dam of heuenes; but it is nat ȝouen to hem. [verse 12] For it shal be ȝouen to hym that hath, and he shal have plentee; trewly `who that [if a man OUV sec. m.] hath [haue OU.] nat, that [also that OUVW sec. m.] thing that he `is seen [semeth OU pr. m. V. Om. U sec. m.] `to haue [hath U sec. m.] shal be taken aweyfro hym. [verse 13] Therfore I speke to hem in parablis, for thei seeynge see nat, and thei heerynge heeren nat, nether [verse 14] vndirstonden; that the prophecie of Ysay seiynge [Om. OUV sec. m.] be fulfillid [filled OUV sec. m.] in hem [hym N. hem, that seieth OUV sec. m.] , With heer|ynge ȝe shulen heere, and ȝee shulen nat vnderstonde; and ȝee seeynge shulen see, [verse 15] and ȝee shulen nat see; for the herte of this peple is enfattid [gretly made fatt OUV sec. m.] , and [Om.

[verse 16] Forsothe ȝoure eeȝen that seen ben blessid, and
ȝoure eris that heeren. [verse 17] Forsothe I saye trewthe [Om.

[verse 18] Therfore heere ȝe the parable of the `sowynge man [sower OUV sec. m. sowende X.] . [verse 19] Eche that heerith the word of rewme [the rewme PUX.] , and vndir|stondith [vnderstant X.] nat, the yuel spirit cometh, and rauyschith that [this OUV sec. m.] that is sowyn in his [Om.

[verse 20] Sothely [Forsothe OUV sec. m.] he that is sowen on the stoon [in the stony londe O. in stony lond U. on the stoony londe V.] , `this it is [is this OUV sec. m.] , that heerith the word of God, and anoon with ioye takith it. [verse 21] For|sothe [For G pr. m. X.] he hath nat [no P.] roote in hym self, but it [he OUV sec. m. Om. X.] is temporal; `that is, it [that is, OQSU.] lastith bot [no but AV pr. m. Y pr. m. nat but K pr. m. MNPQSTY sec. m. Om. OUV sec. m.] a litil tyme [that is, OQSU.] . Forsothe [Forsothe while OUV sec. m.] tribulacioun and per|secucioune maad [is maade OUV sec. m.] for the word, anoon he is sclaundrid. [verse 22] Bot [For U.] he that is sowen in thornys, is this that herith the word, and the bysynesse of this world, and the fals|nessis [falsnesse AMNOPSTU pr. m. VWXY. fallase U sec. m.] of ritchessis stranglith [stranglen X.] the word, and it is maad with outen fruyt. [verse 23] Bot he that is sowen in to [Om.

And sothely sume makith an hundrefold, treuly another six|tyfold, forsothe another thrittifold. [verse 24] An|other [Thenne anothir G.] parable Jhesus putte [puttide V sec. m.] forth `to hem [Om.

[verse 25] But [Forsothe OUVW sec. m.] , when men slepten, his enmye came, and sew [segh X.] aboue dernel [tarys A. dernales OUV. cockil X.] , `or cokil [Om.

[verse 26] Sothely when the herbe hadde growid [growen X.] , and maad [had made OU.] fruyt, thanne the dernel [tares A. dernelis GMOPSUVWY. cock|elis X.] , `or cokil [Om. AOSUV sec. m.

to hym [to hym, seiden X.] , Lord, wher [whether G et S passim UX passim.] thou hast nat sowen good seed in thi feeld? wher of than [therfore OUV sec. m.] hath it dernel [tares A. der|neles OUV sec. m. cockil QX.] , `or cokil [Om.

[verse 29] And he saith [seide OUV sec. m.] , Nay, lest perauenture ȝe gedrynge dernels [tarys A. darnel N. darnailes O. the darnels UV. cockelis X.] , `or coclis [or cockil NQ. Om. OSUV sec. m.

[verse 30] Suffre ȝe `hem bothe [euer either OUV sec. m.] wexe [to wexen SX.] til to rype [the rype OUV.] corne; and in tyme [the tyme OUV.] of rype [the ripe O.] corn I shal seie to reperis [the reperes O.] , First gedre ȝee `to gedre [Om.

[verse 31] An other parable Jhesus [he OUV sec. m.] putte [puttide UV sec. m.] forth to hem, seiynge, The kyngdam of heuenes is like to a corn of seneuey, the [Om. OUV sec. m.] whiche a man takynge [taken N.] sewe in his feeld. [verse 32] The [Om. OUV sec. m.] whiche trewly [sothely PUV.] is leest [the leest OUV.] of alle seedis, but when it hath wexen, it is most [the moost OU.] of alle wortis, and is [it is UV sec. m.] maad a tree; so that briddis [the breddes O.] of the eyre cummen, and dwellen in `bowis, or braunchis [the braunches OU. braunchis V sec. m. the bowis X.] , therof. [verse 33] An [And he spake an O. He spake an UV sec. m.] other parable `Jhesus spac [Om. OUV sec. m.] to hem, The kyngdam of heuenes is lic to soure dowȝ, the [Om. UV sec. m.] whiche taken, a womman hidde [hidith N.] in three mesuris of meele, til it were al sowr|dowid. [verse 34] Jhesus spac alle these thingis in parablis to the cumpanyes `of peple [Om. OUV sec. m. of the peple W.] , and he spac nat to hem with outen parablis, [verse 35] that it [the thenge OUV sec. m. Om. W sec. m. X.] shulde be fulfillid [filled OUV sec. m.] , `that thing that [whiche OUV sec. m.] is seid by the prophete, seyinge, I shal opyn my mouth in parablis; I shal `bolke out, or telle oute [telle out NOUV sec. m. bowen out, or tellen X.] , `hid thingus [thingis hid G.] fro mak|yng [the makynge OUV sec. m.

[companyes of peple W pr. m.] laft, he came into an hous; and his disciplis camen niȝ to hym, seiynge, Ex|poune [Expowne thou N.] to vs the parable [parablis N.] of dernelis [tares A. the darnelis S. the cockils WX.] , `or cokelis [Om. AOSUV sec. m. X. or darnels W.] , of the feeld. [verse 37] The [Om. OUV sec. m.] whiche an|swerynge saith [seide OUV sec. m.] , He that sowith good seed [verse 38] is mannes sone; sothely the feld is the world; bot the good seed, these ben sonys [the sones OUV sec. m.

UV.] ripe corn is the eendyng of the world, sothely [forsothe OUV sec. m.] the repers ben angelis. [verse 40] Therfore as dernels [tares A. cockelis X.] ben gedrid to gidre, and brent [ben brent OUVW sec. m.] in fijr [the fire N.] , so it shal be in the [Om. GMPWXY.] eendyng of the world. [verse 41] Mannes sone shal sende his an|gels, and thei shulden gedre of his rewme alle sclaundris, and hem that don wickid|nesse; [verse 42] and thei shulen sende hem into the chymney of fijr, there shal be weepynge and betynge togidre of teeth. [verse 43] Thanne iust men shulen shyine as the sunne, in the rewme of her fadir. He that hath eris of heerynge, heere he [Om. UV sec. m.] . [verse 44] The kyngdame of heuenes is lijk to tresour [a treesour O.] hid in a [Om. G pr. m. the NU.] feeld, the [Om.

[verse 45] Eftsones [Efte OUV sec. m.] the kyngdam of heuenes is lic to a man marchaunt, seekyng good [verse 46] margarytis [peerles OUV sec. m.] ; sothely oo preciouse marga|rite [perle OUV sec. m.] founden, he wente, and solde alle thingis that he hadde, and bouȝte it. [verse 47] Eft the kingdam of heuenes is lic to a nette sent in to the see, and of alle kynd of fishis [verse 48] gedrynge; the [Om. OUV sec. m.] whiche whan it was ful|fillid [fylled OUV sec. m.] , men ledynge out, and sittynge by|sidis the brynke [brynge K.] , cheesiden [chosen UX.] the good into her vessels, but thei senten [casten U sec. m.] out the yuel. [verse 49] So it shal be in the [Om. G pr. m.] eending of the world.
Angelis shulen gon out, and [and thei UV sec. m.] shulen [Om. O.] de|parte yuel men fro the mydil [myddes OUV.] of iuste men. [verse 50] And thei shulen sende [caste U sec. m.] hem into the chymney of fijr [the fyr G.] ; there shal be weep|ynge and betynge togidre of teeth. [verse 51] Han ȝee vnderstonden alle these thingis? Thei seien to hym, Ȝhe. [verse 52] He seith to hem, Therfore euery [eche OUV sec. m. X.] wryter [writer, ether techer of the [om.

[verse 53] And it is [was OUV.] don, whanne Jhesus hadde eendid these para|bles, he passide fro thennis. [verse 54] And he [Om.

Wher [Whether PSWXY.] his modir be [is OUV sec. m.] nat seid Marie? and his brethren, Jamys, and Joseph, and Symount, and [Om. KQ.] Ju|das?
