ANd it fortuned after that / that he him [ A] sylfe went throughout cities & tounes / preachynge / and shewinge ye kyngdom of God / & the twelve with him. And also cer∣tayne wemen / which wer healed of evell spre∣tes / and infirmities: Mary called Magdalen / out of whom went seven devyls / & Ioanna y• wyfe of Lhusa Herode stewarde / & Susanna
and many other: which ministred vnto thē of their substaunce. ✚ When moch people were gadred to gether / & were come to him out of* 1.1 all cities / he spake by a similitude. A sower went out to sowe his seede: & as he sowed / so∣me* 1.2 fell by the waye syde / and it was troden vnder fete / and the foules of the ayre devou∣red it vp. And some fell on ston / & assone as it was spronge vp / it widdred awaye / because it lacked moystnes. And some fell amonge thor∣nes / and ye thornes spronge vp with it / & cho∣ked it. And some fell on good grounde / & sprō∣ge vp & bare frute / an hondred foolde. And as he sayde these thinges / he cryed: He that hath eares to heare / let him heare.
And his disciples a••ed him sayinge: what [ B] * 1.3 maner similitude is this? And he sayde: vnto you is it geven to knowe the secretes of the kyngdom of God: but to other in similitude / that when they se / they shuld not se: & when they heare they shuld not vnderstonde.
The similitude is this. The seede is ye wor∣de* 1.4 of God. Thoose yt are besyde the waye / are they that heare / & afterwarde cometh ye devyll & taketh awaye the worde out of their hertes / lest they shuld beleve and be saved. They on the stonnes / are they which when they heare / receave the worde with ioye. But these have noo rootes / which for a whyle beleve / & in ty∣me of temtaciō goo awaye. And yt which fell amonge thornes / are they which heare / & goo forth / & are choked wt cares & wt riches / & vo∣lupteous lyvinge / and bringe forth noo frute.
That in y• good grounde / are they which with* 1.5 a good & pure hert / heare the worde & kepe it / * 1.6 and bringe forth frute with pacience. ⊢
No man lyghteth a candell / & covereth it [ C] vnder a vessell / nether putteth it vnder ye ta∣ble: but setteth it on a candelsticke / that they that enter in / maye se ye lyght. No thinge is in secret / yt shall not come abroode: Nether eny thinge hyd / that shall not be knowen / & come* 1.7 to lyght. Take hede therfore how ye heare. For whosoever hath / to him shalbe gevē: And whosoever hath not / frō him shalbe takē / even that same which he supposeth that he hath.
Then came to him his mother and his bre∣thren / and coulde not come at him for prease. And they tolde him sayinge: Thy mother* 1.8 and thy brethren stonde with out / and wolde se the. He answered and sayd vnto them: my mother and my brethren are these which hea∣re the worde of God and do it.
✚ And it chaunsed on a certayne daye that [ D] he went into a shippe / and his disciples also / and he sayde vnto them: Let vs goo over vnto the other syde of the lake. And they Lanched forthe. And as they sayled / he fell a slepe / and there arose a storme of wynde in ye lake / & they* 1.9 were fylled with water / & were in ieopardy. And they went to him and awoke him sayin∣ge: Master Master / we are loost. Then he aro∣se and rebuked the wynde and the tempest of water / and they ceased / and it wexed calme. And he sayd vnto thē: where is youre faith? They feared and wondred sayinge one to ano¦ther:
what felowe is this? for he cōmaundeth* 1.10 bothe the wyndes and water / and they obey him? ✚ And they sayled vnto the region of ye Gaderenites / which is over agaynst Galile.
And as he went out to londe / ther met him a certayne man out of ye cite / which had a de∣vyll longe tyme / and ware noo clothes / nether aboode in any housse: but amonge graves. When he sawe Iesus / he cryed / and fell dou∣ne before him / and with a loude voyce sayde: What have I to do with the Iesus the son∣ne of the God moost hyest? I beseche the tor¦ment me not. Then he cōmaunded ye foule spre¦te to come out of the man. For ofte tymes he caught him / & he was bounde with chaynes & kept with fetters: and he brake the bondes / and was caryed of the fende / into wyldernes. [ E]
And Iesus ayed him sayinge: what is thy name? And he sayde: Legion / because many de∣vyls* 1.11 were entred into him. And they besought him / yt he wolde not cōmaunde thē to goo out into y• depe. And ther was there by an heerde of many swyne / fedynge on an hyll: & they be∣sought* 1.12 him / yt he wolde soffre thē to enter in∣to thē. And he soffred thē. Then went the de∣vyls out of the man / & entred into the swyne: And the heerd toke their course & ran heedlyn¦ge into the lake / and were choked. When the herdmen sawe what had chaunsed / they fleed and tolde it in the cite and in the villages.
And they came out to se what was done: & came to Iesus / & founde ye man / out of whō the devyls were departed / sittynge at the fete
of Iesus / clothed & in his right mynde / & they were afrayde. They also wich sawe it / tolde thē by what meanes he yt was possessed of ye devyll / was healed. And all the whole multi∣tude of ye cōtrye of the Gaderenites / besought him yt he wolde departe from thē: for they we¦re taken wt greate feare. And he gate him into the shippe & returned backe agayne. Then the man out of whom the devyls were departed / besought him yt he myght be wt him: But Ie¦sus sent him awaye sayinge: Goo home agay¦ne into thyne awne housse / & shewe what gre∣at thinges God hath done to ye. And he went his waye / & preached thorow out all the cite what great thing{is} Iesus had done vnto him.
And it fortuned when Iesus was come [ F] * 1.13 agayne that ye people receaved him. For they all wayted for him. And beholde ther came a* 1.14 man named Iairus (and he was a ruler of ye synagoge) & he fell doune at Iesus fete / & be∣sought him yt he wolde come into his housse / for he had but a doughter only / apon a twel∣ve yere of age / and she laye a dyinge. And as he went the / people thronged him.* 1.15
And a woman havynge an issue of bloud twelve yeres (which had spent all her sub∣stance amonge phisiciōs / nether coulde be hol pen of eny) came behinde him / & touched the hem of his garmēt / & immediatly her issue of bloud staunched. And Iesus sayde: Who is it that touched me? when every man denyed / Pe¦ter & they y• were with him / sayde: Master / the people thrust the and veye the: & sayest thou /
who touched me? And Iesus sayd: Some bo∣dy touched me. For I perceave that vertue is gone out of me. When the woman sawe / that she was not hid / she came trimblynge / & fell at is fete / and tolde him before all the people for what cause she had touched him / and how she was healed immediatly. And he sayde vn¦to hyr: Doughter be of good comforte / Thy faith hath made the hoale / goo in peace.
Whyll he yet spake / there came one from ye [ G] rulers of the synagogis housse which sayde to him: thy doughter is deed / disease not the master. When Iesus hearde that / He answe∣red the father / sayinge: Feare not / beleve only / & she shalbe made whole. And when he came to ye housse / he suffred no man to goo in with him / save Peter / Iames & Iohn / & the father and the mother of the mayden. Every body weept & sorowed for her. And he sayde: Wepe not: for she is not deed / but slepeth. And they lewgh him to scorne. For they knew that she was deed. And he thrust thē all out / & caught her by the honde / and cryed sayinge: Mayde aryse. And hyr sprete came agayne / & she roo∣se strayght waye. And he commaunded to ge∣ve* 1.16 her meate. And the father and the mother of hyr were astonyed. But he warned thē that they shuld tell noo man / what was done.
