¶ The. ••vi. Chapter.

THese thinges have I sayde vnto you / [ A] * 1.1 because ye shuld not be offended. They shall excōmunicat you: ye y^e ty∣me shall come / that whosoever killeth you / will thinke that he doth God service. And suche thinges will they do vnto you / because they have not knowen the father nether yet me. But these thinges have I tolde you / that when that houre is come / ye myght remember them / that I tolde you so. ✚ These thinges sayde I not vnto you at the begynninge / be¦cause I was present with you.

✚ But now I goo my waye to him that [ B] sent me / and none of you axeth me: whither goest thou? But because I have sayde suche

thinges vnto you / youre hertes are full of so∣rowe. Neverthelesse I tell you the trueth / it is expedient for you that I goo awaye. For yf I goo not awaye / that comforter will not co¦me vnto you. But yf I departe / I will sende him vnto you. And when he is come / he will rebuke y^e worlde of synne / and of rightwes∣nes / and of iudgement. Of synne / because* 1.2 they beleve not on me: Of rightwesnes be∣cause* 1.3 I go to my father / and ye shall se me no moare: and of iudgement / because the chefe ru¦ler of this worlde / is iudged all ready.

I have yet many thing{is} to saye vnto you: [ C] but ye cānot beare them awaye now. How be it when he is come (I meane the sprete of tru¦the) he will leade you into all trueth. He shall not speake of him selfe: but whatsoever he shall heare / that shall he speake / and he will shewe you thinges to come. He shall glorify me / for he shall receave of myne & shall shewe vnto you. All thinges that y^e father hath are∣myne. Therfore sayd I vnto you / that he shall take of myne and shewe vnto you. ⊢

✚ After a whyle ye shall not se me / & agay∣ne after a whyle ye shall se me: For I goo to the father. Then sayd some of his disciples [ D] bitwene them selves: what is this y^t he sayth vnto vs / after a whyle ye shall not se me / and agayne after a whyle ye shall se me: and that I go to the father. They sayd therfore: what is this that he sayth after a whyle? we cānot tell what he sayth. Iesus perceaved / y^t they wolde axe him / and sayd vnto them: This is

it that ye enquyre of bitwene youre selves / that I sayd / after a whyle ye shall not se me / & agayne after a whyle ye shall se me. Verely verely I saye vnto you: ye shall wepe & lamēt & the worlde shall reioyce. Ye shall sorowe: [ E] but youre sorowe shalbe tourned to ioye.

A woman when she traveyleth hath soro∣we / because her houre is come: but assone as she is delivered of the chylde / she remembreth no moare the anguysshe / for ioye that a man is borne in to the worlde. And ye now are in sorowe: but I will se you agayne / and youre hertes shall reioyce / & youre ioye shall no mā take frō you. ✚ And in that daye shall ye axe me no question. ✚ Verely verely I saye vnto you / whatsoever ye shall axe the father in my* 1.4 name / he will geve it you. Hitherto have ye axed nothinge in my name. Axe and ye shall receave it: that youre ioye maye be full.

These thinges have I spoken vnto you in [ F] * 1.5 proverbes. The tyme will come when I shall no moare speake to you in proverbes: but I shall shewe you playnly from my father. At that daye shall ye axe in myne name. And I saye not vnto you that I will speake vnto my father for you. For y^e father him selfe loveth you / because ye have loved me / and have bele∣ved that I came out from God. I went out from the father / and came into the worlde: & I leve the worlde agayne / and go to y^e father.

His disciples sayd vnto him: loo now spea¦kest thou playnly / & thou vsest no proverbe. Nowe knowe we that thou vnderstondest all

thinges / & nedest not y^t eny man shuld axe the eny question. Therfore beleve we that thou camst frō god. ✚ Iesus answered them: Now ye do beleve. Beholde y^e houre draweth nye / * 1.6 & is already come / y^t ye shalbe scatered every man his wayes / & shall leave me alone. And yet am I not alone. For y^e father is with me.

These wordes have I spokē vnto you / y^• in me ye might have peace. For in y^e worlde shall ye have tribulaciō: but be of good cheare / I ha¦ve over come the worlde.
