schulen bitake ȝou into tribulacioun and schulen slee ȝou, and ȝe schulen be in hate to al folk for mi name. And thanne manie schulen be sclaundrid and bitraie ech othere, and thei schulen hate ech othere; and manie false prophetis schulen rise and disseyue manye. Like sentence of the same vntrewe techeris is writun Mark xiije. capitulum., thus: Loke ȝe that no man disseyue ȝou.
