¶ The .xviii. Chap.

ANd he put forth a similitude vnto thē / signifyinge that men ought alwayes* 1.1 to praye / & not to be wery sayinge: Ther was a Iudge in a certayne cite / which feared not god nether regarded man. And ther was a certayne wedowe in the same cite / which ca¦me vnto him sayinge: avenge me of myne ad∣versary. And he wolde not for a whyle. But afterwarde he sayd vnto him selfe: though I feare not God / nor care for man / yet because this wedowe troubleth me / I will avenge her lest at the laste she come and hagge on me.

And the lorde sayd: heare what the vnrigh∣tewes [ B] Iudge sayeth. And shall not god aven¦ge his electe / which crye daye and nyght vn∣to him / ye though he differre them? I tell you he will avenge them / and that quickly. ✚ Neverthelesse / when the sonne of man co∣meth / suppose ye / that he shall fynde faithe on the erthe.

✚ And he put forthe this similitude / vnto cer¦tayne which trusted in thē selves y^t they we∣re perfecte / & despysed other. Two men went vp into y^t tēple to praye: y^e one a pharise / & the other a publican. The pharise stode & prayed thus w^t him selfe. God I thanke the y^• I am not as other men are / extorsioners / vniuste / advoutrers / or as. this publican. I fast twyse in y^• weke. I geve tythe of all that I possesse. And the publican stode afarre of / & wolde not lyfte vp his eyes to heven / but smote his brest sayinge: God be mercyfull to me a synner. I tell you: this mā departed hōe to his housse

iustified moore then the other. For every man* 1.2 that exalteth him selfe / shalbe brought low: And he y^t hūbleth him selfe / shalbe exalted ✚* 1.3

They brought vnto him also babes / y^t he shuld touche thē. When his disciples sawe that / they rebuked thē. But Iesus called thē vnto him / & sayde: Suffre chyldren to come* 1.4 vnto me / & forbidde thē not. For of soche is y^e kyngdome of God. Verely I saye vnto you: whosoever receaveth not the kyngdome of God / as a chylde: he shall not enter therin.

And a certayne ruler axed him sayinge: Good Master: what ought I to do / to obtay∣ne eternall lyfe? Iesus sayd vnto him: Why callest thou me good? No man is good / save God only. Thou knowest y^e cōmaundmente: Thou shalt not commit advoutry: thou shalt* 1.5 not kyll: thou shalt not steale: thou shalt not beare false witnes: Honoure thy father & thy mother. And he sayde: all these have I kept from my youthe. When Iesus hearde that / he sayde vnto him: Yet lackest thou one thin¦ge. Sell all that thou hast / & distribute it vnto the poore / and thou shalt have treasure in he∣ven / and come / & folowe me. When he heard that / he was hevy: for he was very ryche. [ E]

When Iesus sawe him morne / he sayde: with what difficulte shall they that have ry∣ches / enter into the kyngdome of God: it is easyer for a camell to goo thorow a nedles* 1.6 eye / then for a ryche man to enter into the kyngdome of God. Then sayde they that hearde that: And who shall then be saved?

And he sayde: Thinges which are vnpossi∣ble with men are possible with God.

Then Peter sayde: Loo we have lefte all / & have folowed the. And he sayde vnto them: Verely I saye vnto you / ther is noo man that leaveth housse / other father & mother / other* 1.7 brethren or wyfe or chyldren for the kyngdo∣me of Goddes sake / which same shall not re∣ceave moche moore in this worlde: and in the* 1.8 worlde to come / lyfe everlastinge. [ F]

✚ He toke vnto him twelve / & sayde vnto them. Beholde we go vp to Ierusalem / & all* 1.9 shalbe fulfilled that are written by y^e Prophe¦tes of the sonne of man. He shalbe delivered vnto the gentils / & shalbe mocked / and shalbe despytfully entreated / and shalbe spetted on: and when they have scourged him / they will put him to deeth / and the thyrde daye he shall aryse agayne. But they vnderstode none of these thinges. And this sayinge was hid frō them. And they perceaved not the thinges which were spoken.

And it came to passe / as he was come nye [ G] * 1.10 vnto Hierico / a certayne blynde man sate by the waye syde begginge. And when he hearde the people passe by / he axed what it meant. And they sayde vnto him / y^t Iesus of Naza∣reth passed by. And he cryed sayinge: Iesus y^e sonne of David / have thou mercy on me. And they which went before rebuked him / that he shuld holde his peace. But he cryed so moche the moare / thou sonne of David have mercy on me. And Iesus stode styll / & commaunded

him to be brought vnto him. And when he was come neare / he axed him / sayinge: What wilt thou that I do vnto the? And he sayde: Lorde / y^t I maye receave my sight: Iesus say∣de vnto him: receave thy sight: thy faith hath saved the. And immediatly he sawe / and fo∣lowed him / praysinge God. And all the peo∣ple / when they sawe it / gave laude to God. ⊢
