¶ The .xix. Cha

[ A] * 1.1ANd it came to passe / when Iesus had fynisshed those sayinges / he gat him from Galile / and came into the coostes of Iewry beyonde Iordan / and moche people folowed him / and he healed them theare.

Then came vnto him the pharises temtin∣ge him / and sayinge to him: * 1.2Ys it lawfull for a man to put a waye his wyfe for all maner of causes? He answered and sayd vnto them: have ye not redde / * 1.3how that he which made man at the beginninge / made them man and woman and sayde: for this thinge / shall a mā leve father and mother and cleve vnto his wy¦fe / & they▪ twayne shalbe one flesshe.* 1.4 Wherfo∣re now are they not twayne / but one flesshe. Let not man therfore put a sunder / that which God hath cuppled to gedder.

Thē sayde they to him: why did Moses cō∣maunde to geve a testimoniall of divorsemēt & to put hyr awaye? He sayde vnto them: Mo∣ses because of the hardnes of youre hertes suffred you to put awaye youre wyfes: But

from y^e beginnynge it was not so. I saye ther∣fore* 1.5 vnto you / whosoever putteth awaye his wyfe (except it be for fornicacion) & maryeth another / breaketh wedlocke. And whosoever maryeth her which is divorsed / doeth com∣myt advoutry.

Then sayde his disciples to him: yf the ma¦ter be so betwene man and wyfe / then is it [ B] not good to mary. He sayde vnto them: all mē can not awaye with that sayinge save they to whom it is gevē. * 1.6Ther are chaste / which were so borne out of their mothers belly. And ther are chaste / which be made of men. And ther be chaste / which have made them selves chaste for the kyngdome of hevēs sake. He that can take it / let him take it.

* 1.7Then were brought to him yonge chyldrē / that he shuld put his honde on them & praye And the disciples rebuked them. But Iesus sayde: suffre the chyldren and forbid them not to come to me:* 1.8 for of suche is the kyngdome of heven. And when he had put his hondes on them he departed thence.

And beholde one came & sayde vnto him: good master / what good thinge shall I do / that I [ C] maye have eternall lyfe? He sayde vnto him: why callest thou me good? there is none good but one / & that is God. * 1.9But yf thou wylt en∣tre in to lyfe / kepe the commaundementes. The other sayde to him / Which? And Iesus sayde: breake no wedloke / kill not / steale not: beare not falce witnes: honoure father & mo∣ther: and love thyne neighbour as thy sylfe.

And the younge man sayde vnto him: I have observed all these thingis from my youth / what lacke I yet? And Iesus sayde vnto him yf thou wylt be perfecte / goo & sell that thou hast / & geve it to the povre / & thou shalt have treasure in heven / & come & folowe me. When y^e younge mā hearde y^t sayinge / he wēt awaye mourninge. For he had greate possessions.

Then Iesus sayde vnto his disciples: Vere¦ly I saye vnto you: yt is harde for a ryche mā to enter into y^e kyngdome of heaven. * 1.10And mo∣reover I saye vnto you: it is easier for a camell to go through the eye of a nedle / then for a ry∣che man to enter into the kyngdome of God. When his disciples hearde that / they were excedingly amased / sayinge: who then can be-saved? Iesus behelde thē / & sayde vnto them: with men this is vnpossible / but with God all thinges are possible.

✚ Then answered Peter / and sayde to him: [ D] Beholde / we have forsaken all & folowed the / what shall we have? Iesus sayde vnto them: verely I saye to you: when the sonne of man shall syt in y^e seate of his maieste / ye which fo¦lowe* 1.11 me in y^e seconde generacion shall syt al∣so vpon .xii. seat{is} / & iudge y^e .xii. trib{is} of Is∣rael. And whosoever forsaketh housses / or bre∣thren / or systers / other father / or mother / or wy¦fe / or chyldren / or landes / for my names sake / * 1.12 y^e same shall receave an hundred folde / & shall inheret everlastynge lyfe. ⊢ Many that are fyrste shalbe laste / & the laste shalbe fyrste.
