IN the retornynge of moūt Olyuete is y^t pla ce where our lorde wept vpon Ierlm / & there by our lady appyered to saynt Thomas after her assumpcyon & gaf hym her gyrdell. And therby is the stone on whiche our lorde sate oft & preched / & theron he shall sytte y^t daye of dome as hȳself sayd And there is moūt Galyle where thapostles were gadred whan Mary mawdleyn tolde theȳ of Cry ••is rysynge. bytwene moūt Olyuete & moūt Galy 〈◊〉〈◊〉 is a chirche where the angell sayd to our lady

whan she sholde deye. Also fro Bethany to Yerico is. v. myle. Yeryco was somtyme a lytell cyte / but it was wasted / & now is it but a lytell towne / that towne toke Iosue thrugh myracle of god & byd∣dynge of the angell & destroyed it & cursed all tho se y^t buylded it agayne. Of that cyte was Raah y^t comon woman that receyued messengers of Israell & kepte theym fro many peryls of deth & therfore she had a good rewarde as holy wrytte sayth. Qm̄ accepit {pro}phetā in noīe meo mercedē {pro}he accipiet. That is to saye. He that taketh a prophete in my name / he shall take mede of a prophete.
