ANd it came to passe when Iesus had made an ende of cōmaundinge his .xii. disciples / that he departed thence / to teache and to preache in their cities.
✚ * 1.1When Ihon beinge in preson hearde ye workes of Christ / he sent two of his disciples and sayde vnto him. Arte thou he that shall come: or shall we loke for another. Iesus ans∣wered and sayde vnto them. Go and shewe Ihon what ye have hearde & sene. The blynd
se / the halt goo / the lepers are clensed: the deef heare / the ded ryse ageyne / and the glad tidin∣ges is preached to the povre. And happy is he that is not offended by me.
And as they departed Iesus begane to spe¦ake vnto the people of Ihon. What for to se wēt ye out in to the wyldernes? wēt ye out to se a rede shakē with ye wynde? other what wēt ye out for to se? A man clothed in soofte ray∣mēt? Beholde they yt weare soofte clothīg / are [ B] in kynges howses. But what wēt ye oute for to se? A prophete? Ye I saye to you / & more thē a prophete. For this is he of whō it is wryttē.* 1.2 Beholde / I sende my messenger before thy face / which shall prepare thy waye before ye ⊢
✚ Verely I saye vnto you / amonge ye chyl∣dren of wemen arose there not a gretter then Ihon the baptist. Notwithstondinge he that ys lesse in the kyngdome of heven / ys gretter then he.* 1.3 From the tyme of Ihon Baptist hy∣therto / ye kyngdome of hevē suffreth violence / & they that go to it with violence pluck it vn to them. For all the prophet{is} & the lawe pro∣phesyed vnto to the tyme of Ihon. Also yf ye wyll receave it / this is Helyas which shuld co¦me.* 1.4 He yt hathe eares to heare let him heare. ⊢
But wher vnto shall I lyken this genera∣cion?* 1.5 It ys lyke vnto chyldrē which syt in the market & call vnto their felowes / & saye: we have pyped vnto you / & ye have not daunsed? We have morned vnto you / & ye have not so∣rowed. [ C] For Ihon came nether eatinge nor drin¦kinge / and they saye / he hath the devyll. The
sonne of man came eatinge and drinkinge / & they saye / beholde a glutton & drynker of wy∣ne / & a frend vnto publicās & synners. * 1.6Never¦thelater wysdome ys iustified of hir children.
✚ Then begā he to vpbrayd the cities / in which most of his miracles were done / becau∣se they mēded not. * 1.7Wo be to ye Chorasin. Wo be to ye Betzaida: for if the miracles which we¦re shewd in you / had bene done in Tyre & Si∣don / they had repented longe agone in sack∣cloth & asshes. Neverthelesse I say to you: it shall be esier for Tyre & Sidon at the day of iudgemēt / then for you. And thou Capernaū which art lift vp vnto hevē / shalt be brought doune to hell. For if the miracles which have bene done in the / had bene shewed in zodom: they had remayned to this daye. Neverthelesse I saye vnto you: it shalbe easiar for ye londe of zodō in the daye of iudgemēt / thē for ye. ⊢ [ D]
✚ * 1.8At yt tyme Iesus answered & sayd: I pray∣se ye o father lorde of hevē & erth / because thou hast hid these thing{is} frō the wyse & prudēt / & hast opened thē vnto babes:* 1.9 evē so father / for so it pleased ye. All thing{is} are gevē vnto me of my father. And nomā knoweth ye sonne but ye father: nether knoweth eny mā ye father / save ye sonne / & he to whome ye sonne will opē him.* 1.10
Come vnto me all ye that laboure & are la∣den / & I wyll ease you. Take my yoke on you & lerne of me / for I am meke & lowly in herte: and ye shall fynd rest vnto youre soules. For my yoke is easy / and my burden is light. ⊢* 1.11
