ONe of the Pharyses desyred Ies{us} that he wolde eate with hym / and he came ī to the pharyses house / & sat downe to meate. And beholde a womā ī that cytie / whiche was a synner as soone as she knewe that Ies{us} sat at meate in the pharyses howse she brought an Alabaster boxe of oyntmēt / & she stode at his fete behīde hī wepyng and begā to wasshe his fete with teares / & dyd wype thē with the eares of her heed / & kissed his fete / and anoynted thē with oyntmēt. whē the Pharyse whi∣che bade hym to his house sawe that / he spake within hym selfe sayenge: yf this man were a prophete / he wolde surely haue knowen who & what maner wo∣man this is / whiche touched hym / for she is a sinner And Iesus answered and sayde vnto hym / Symon I haue somwhat to saye vnto the / and he sayd: may∣ster

saye on. There was a certayne lēder whiche had two detters / the one ought fyue houndred pens / and the other fyfty. Uvhē they had nothynge to paye / he forgaue them bothe. Uvhiche of them tell me wyll loue hym moost? Symon answered and sayde / I suppose that he to whome he forgaue moost / and he sayde vnto hym. Thon hast truely iudged. And he turned to the woman / and sayde vnto Symon.

Seest thou this womā / I entred in to thy house / and thou gauest me no water to my fete / but she hath wasshte my fete / with teares / and wiped then with the heares of her heed. Thou gauest me no kysse: but she sence the tyme I came in hath nat ceased to kysse my fete. My heed with oyle thou dydeste nat anoynt and she hathe anoynted my fete with oyntmente.

Uvherfore I saye vnto the many synnes are forgy∣uen her / bycause she loued moche. To whome lesse is forgyuē / the same doth lesse loue. And he sayd vn∣to her thy synnes are forgyuen the. And they that sa∣••e at meate with hym / began to say within thē selues Uvho is this which forgyueth euē synnes / & he sayde to the womā. Thy fayth hath saued the / go in peace.
