¶ The .x. Chap.

[ A] * 1.1ANd he rose from thence / & went into y^e coostes of Iurie through the region y^t is beyonde Iordan. And y^e people resor¦ted vnto him afresshe: and as he was wont / he taught them agayne. And the pharises came & axed him a question: whether it were lau∣full for a mā to put awaye his wyfe: to prove him. And he answered & sayd vnto thē: what dyd Moses byd you do? And they sayde: Mo∣ses suffred to wryte a testimoniall of devorse¦ment / & to put hyr awaye. And Iesus answe∣red & sayd vnto thē: For y^e hardnes of youre herte he wrote this precept vnto you. But at

the fyrste creacion / God made thē man & wo¦man.* 1.2 And for this thing{is} sake shall mā leve his father & mother / & bide by his wyfe / & they twayne shalbe one flesshe. So then are they* 1.3 now not twayne / but one flesshe. Therfore what God hath cuppled / let not mā separat.

And in the housse his disciples axed him [ B] * 1.4 agayne of y^t matter. And he sayde vnto them: Whosoever putteth awaye his wyfe & mary∣eth another / breaketh wedlocke to herwarde. And yf a woman forsake her husband and be maryed to another / she cōmitteth advoutrie.

And they brought chyldren to him / that he* 1.5 should touche thē. And his disciples rebuked thoose that brought thē. When Iesus sawe that / he was displeased / & sayd to thē: Suffre* 1.6 the chyldrē to come vnto me & forbid thē not. For of suche is y^e kyngdome of God. Verely I saye vnto you / whosoever shall not receave y^• kyngdome of God as a chylde / he shall not entre therin. And he toke thē vp in his armes & put his honde vpon them / & blessed thē. ⊢

✚ And when he was come in to the waye / * 1.7 ther came one runninge & kneled to him / and axed him: good master / what shall I do / that I maye enheret eternall lyfe? Iesus sayde to [ C] him: why callest thou me good? There is no* 1.8 mā good but one / which is God. Thou kno∣west the cōmaundementes: breake not matri∣mony: kyll not: steale not: bere not falce wyt∣nes: defraude no man: honoure thy father & mother. He answered & sayde to him: master / all these I have observed frō my youth. Ie∣sus

behelde him & had a favour to him / and sayde vnto him: one thynge is lackinge vnto the. Goo and sell all that thou hast / and geve to the povre / and thou shalt have treasure in heven / and come and folowe me / and take vp thy * 1.9 crosse. But he was discūforted with y^t sayinge / and wēt awaye morninge / for he had greate possessions.

And Iesus loked rounde aboute / & sayde [ D] vnto his disciples: what an harde thinge is it for them that have riches / to entre into the kyngdome of God. And his disciples were astonneyd at his wordes. But Iesus answe¦red agayne / & sayde vnto them: chyldrē / how harde is it for them / that trust in riches / to en∣tre in to the kyngdome of God. It is easyer* 1.10 for a camell to go thorowe y^e eye of an nedle / then for a riche man to entre into the kyngdo∣me of God. And they were astonnyed out of measure / sayinge betwene them selves: who then can be saved? Iesus loked vpon them / & sayde: with men it is vnpossible / but not with God: for with God all thynges are possible.

And Peter begāne to saye vnto him: Lo / we have forsaken all / & have folowed the. Iesus answered and sayde: Verely I saye vnto you / ther is no man that for saketh housse / or bre∣thren / or sisters / or father / or / mother / or wyfe / * 1.11 other chyldren / or londes / for my sake & the gospelle / which shall not receave an houn∣dred foolde nowe in this lyfe: houses / and bre¦thren / & sisters / & mothers / & chyldren / & lon∣des with persecucions: & in the worlde to ca∣me /

eternall lyfe. Many that are fyrst / shalbe last: & the last / fyrst. And they were in y^• waye goinge vp to Ierusalem. And Iesus wēt be∣fore them: and they were amased / and as they folowed / were affrayde.

And Iesus toke y^e .vii. agayne / & begāne to [ E] * 1.12 tell thē what thing{is} shuld happē vnto him. Beholde we goo vp to Ierusalem / & the son∣ne of man shalbe delyvered vnto the hye pree¦stes & vnto the Scribes: & they shall condem∣pne him to deeth / & shall delyvre him to the gentyls: and they shall mocke hym / & scour∣ge him / and spit vpō hym / and kyll him. And the thirde daye he shall ryse agayne.

And then Iames & Iohn y^e sonnes of zebe∣de* 1.13 came vnto him / sayinge: master / we wolde that thou shuldest do for vs what soever we desyre. He sayde vnto them: what wolde ye I shuld do vnto you? They sayd to him: graūt vnto vs that we maye sitte one on thy right honde / & the other on thy lyfte honde / in thy glory. But Iesus sayd vnto thē: Ye wot not what ye axe. Can ye dryncke of the cup that I shall dryncke of / & be baptised in y^e baptime that I shalbe baptised in? And they sayde vn¦to him: that we can. Iesus sayde vnto them: [ F] ye shall dryncke of the cup that I shall drync¦ke of / & be baptised with the baptyme that I shalbe baptised in: but to sit on my right hon∣de and on my lyfte honde ys not myne to ge∣ve / but to them for whom it is prepared.

And when the .x. hearde that / they begā to* 1.14 disdayne at Iames & Iohn. But Iesus cal∣led

thē vnto him / & sayde to them: ye knowe that they which seme to beare rule amonge* 1.15 the gentyls / raygne as lordes over thē. And they that be greate amōge them / exercyse au∣ctorite over them. So shall it not be amonge you / but whosoever of you wilbe greate amō∣ge you / shalbe youre minister. And whosoever wilbe chefe / shalbe servaunt vnto all. For evē the sonne of man came not to be ministred vn to: but to minister / and to geve his lyfe for the redempcion of many.

And they came to Hierico. And as he went [ G] * 1.16 oute of Hierico with his disciples / & a greate nōbre of people: Barthime••s y^e sonne of Thi¦meus which was blinde / sate by y^e hye way∣es syde begginge. And when he hearde that it was Iesus of Nazareth / he began to crye and to saye: Iesus the sonne of David / have mer∣cy on me. And many rebuked him / y^t he shuld holde is peace. But he cryed the moore a grea¦te deale / thou sonne of David have mercy on me. And Iesus stode still / and commaunded hym to be called. And they called the blinde / sayinge vnto him: Be of good conforte: ryse / he calleth the. And he threwe awaye his cloo¦ke / and roose and came to Iesus. And Iesus answered & sayde vnto hym: what wilt thou that I do vnto the? The blynde sayde vnto hym: master / that I myght see. Iesus sayde vnto him. goo thy waye / thy faith hath saved the. And by and by he receaved his sight / and folowed Iesus in the waye.
