¶ The .vii. Cha.

U••hen he had ended all his sainges in* 1.1 the audience of the people / he entred [ A] into Capernaū. And a certayne Cen¦turions seruaunte was sicke and redy to dye whom he made moche of. And when he hear∣de* 1.2 of Iesu / he sent vnto him the elders of the Iewes / besechinge him y^• he wolde come & hea¦le his servaunt. And they came to Iesus and besought him in stantly sayinge: He is worthi that thou shuldest do this for him. For he lo∣veth oure nacion / and hath bilt vs a sinagoge And Iesus went with them.

And when he was not farre frō the housse / [ B] the Centuriō sent frendes to him sayinge vn¦to him: Lorde trouble not thy silfe: for I am not worthy y^t thou shuldest enter vnder my roffe. Wherfore I thought not my silfe wor∣thy to come vnto the: but saye the worde / and

servaunt shalbe whoole. For I lyke wyse am a man vnder power / and have vnder me sou∣diers / & I saye vnto won / goo: and he goeth. And to another / come: and he cometh. And to my servaunt / do this: & he doeth it. When Ie¦sus herde this / he merveyled at him / & turned him about & sayd to the people that folowed him: I saye vnto you / I have not founde so greate faith / noo / not in Israel. And they y^t were sent / turned backe home agayne / & foun∣de the servaunt that was sicke / whoole.

✚ And it fortuned after that / that he went [ C] into a cite called Naim / & many of his disci∣ples went w^t him / & moche people. When he came nye to the gate of the cite: beholde / ther was a deed man caried out which was y^• only* 1.3 sonne of his mother / and she was a widowe / and moche people of the cite was with her. And when y^e lorde sawe her / he had compas∣sion on her / & sayde vnto her: wepe not. And he went & touched the coffyn / & they y^t bare him / stode still. And he sayde: Yonge man / I saye vnto the / aryse. And y^e deed sate vp & began∣ne to speake. And he delyvered him to his mo¦ther. And ther cā a feare on thē all. And they glorified god sayinge: a greate prophet is ry∣sen* 1.4 amōge vs / & god hath visited his people ✚ ✚ And this rumor of him wēt forthe throug∣hout* 1.5 all Iurie / and thorowout all the regions which lye rounde about.

And y^• disciples of Iohn shewed him of all these thinges. And Iohn called vnto him .ii. of his disciples / & sent thē to Iesus sayinge:

Arte thou he that shall come: or shall we loke for another? When the men were come vnto him / they sayde: Iohn baptiste sent vs vnto y^• sayinge: Arte thou he that shall come: or shall we wayte for another? And at y^t same tyme he cured many of their infirmites & plages / & of* 1.6 evyll spretes / & vnto many that were blynde / he gave sight. And Iesus answered and sayd vnto them: Goo youre wayes & shewe Iohn / what thinges ye have sene and harde: how y^• the blynde se / the halt goo / the lepers are clen¦sed / the deafe heare / the deed aryse / to the po∣ore is the glad tydinges preached / and happy is he / that is not offended by me.

When y^e messengers of Iohn were depar∣ted / he began to speake vnto y^e people of Iohn [ D] What wēt ye oute into y^e w••ldernes for to se? went ye to se arede shaken w^t y^e wynde? But what went ye out for to se? A mā clothed in so ofte rayment? Beholde they which are gorge∣ously apparelled / & lyve delicatly / are in kyn∣ges courtes. But what went ye forth to se? A prophete? Ye I saye to you / & mo••••e then a prophete. This is he of whō it is wryttē: Be∣holde▪ I sende my messenger before thy face / to* 1.7 prepare thy waye before the. For I saye vnto* 1.8 you: a greater prophete then Iohn / amōge we∣mēs chyldrē is ther none. Neverthelesse one y^• is lesse in y^e kyngdō of god / is greater thē he ⊢

And all the people that hearde / and the pu¦blicans* 1.9 / iustified God / and were baptised with the baptim of Iohn. But the pharises & scribes despised y^e counsell of god agaynst

them selves / and were not baptised of him.

And y^• lorde sayd: Wher vnto shall I lykē [ E] * 1.10 the men of this generacion / & what thinge are they lyke? They are lyke vnto chyldrē sittyn∣ge in y^• market place / & cryinge one to another / & sayinge: We have pyped vnto you / & ye ha∣have not daunsed: we have mourned to you / and ye have not wept. For Iohn baptist cam / nether eatynge breed ner drinkynge wyne / & ye saye: he hath the devyll. The sonne of man is come and eateth and drinketh / & ye saye: beholde a man which is a glotton / & a drinker* 1.11 of wyne / a frende of publicans and synners. Yet is wysdome iustified of all her chyldren.

✚ And one of the pharises desyred him that he wolde eate with him. And he went into y^• pharises housse / & sate doune to meate. And be* 1.12 holde a woman in that cite / which was a syn¦ner / assone as she knewe that Iesus sate at meate in the pharises housse / she brought an alablaster boye of oyntmēt / & she stode at his fete behynde him wepynge / and beganne to wesshe his fete with teares / and dyd wipe thē with the heares of her heed / and kyssed his fe∣te / and anoynted them with oyntment.

When the pharise which bade him / sawe that / he spake with in him sylfe / sayinge: If [ F] this man were a prophete / he wolde surely ha¦ve knowen who & what maner woman this is which toucheth him / for she is a synner. And Iesus answered & sayde vnto him: Si∣mon I have some what to saye vnto y^•. And he sayd master saye on. There was a certayne len¦der

which had two detters / y^e one ought five hondred pence / & the other fyfty. When they had nothinge to paye / he forgave thē boothe. Which of them tell me / will love him moost? Simon answered and sayde: I suppose / that he to whom he forgave moost. And he sayde vnto him: Thou hast truly iudged.

And he turned to the woman / & sayde vnto Simon: Seist thou this woman? I entred in∣to thy housse / & thou gavest me noo water to my fete but she hath wesshed my fete with tea¦res / & wiped thē with the heeres of her heed. Thou gavest me no kysse: but she / sence y^e ty∣me I came in / hath not ceased to kysse my fete Myne heed w^t oyle thou dydest not anoynte: but she hath annoynted my fete w^t oyntmēt. Wherefore I saye vnto the: many synnes are forgevē her / for she * 1.13 loved moche. To whom lesse is forgeven / the same doeth lesse love.

And he sayde vnto her / thy synnes are for∣geven y^e. And they y^t sate at meate with him / beganne to saye within them selves: Who is this which forgeveth synnes•• also? And he sayde to y^e woman: Thy faith hath saved the / Goo in peace. ⊢
