¶ The .vii. Chapter.

[ A] ANd y^e pharises came togedder vnto him & dyvers of y^e scribes which came from Ierusalem. And whē they sawe certay∣ne of his disciples eate breed w^t cōmen hond{is} (that is to saye / w^t vnwesshen hond{is}) they cō¦playned. For the pharises and all the Iewes / excepte they washe their hond{is} ofte / eate not observinge the tradicions of the elders. And whē they come from the market / escept they washe / they eate not. And many other thing{is} ther be / which they have taken apon them to observe / as the wasshinge of cuppes and cru¦ses / and of Brasen vessels / and of tables.

Then axed him the pharises & scribe / why walke not thy disciples accordinge to y^e tradi¦cions [ B] of the elders / but eate breede with vn∣weshen hondes? He answered and sayde vnto them: well prophesied Esaias of you ypocri∣tes / as it is writtē: This people honoreth me with their lyppes / but their hert is farre from me: In vayne they worshippe me / teachinge doctryns which are nothinge but y^e cōmaun∣dementes of men. For ye laye the commaunde¦ment

of God aparte / & observe the tradicions of men / as the wesshinge of cruses and of cup¦pes / and many other suche lyke thing{is} ye do.

And he sayde vnto them: well / ye cast asy∣de the cōmaundement of God / to mayntayne youre owne tradiciōs. For Moses sayde: Ho∣noure thy father & thy mother: & whosoever cursseth father or mother / let him dye for it. But ye saye: a man shall saye to father or mo∣ther Corban: which is: that thou desyrest of me to helpe the with / is geven God. And so ye soffre him no more to do ought for his father or his mother / makinge the worde of God of none effecte / through youre awne tradicions which ye have ordeyned. And many soche thinges ye do.

[ C] And he called all the people vnto him / & say¦de vnto them: Herken vnto me / every one of you & vnderstonde. There is no thinge with out a man that can defyle him when it en∣treth into him: but thoo thinges which proce¦de out of him are those which defyle y^e man. If eny man have eares to heare / let him heare And whē he came to house awaye frō the peo¦ple / his disciples axed him of the similitude. And he sayd vnto thē: Are ye so without vn∣derstondinge? Do ye not yet perceave / y^t what soever thinge from w^t out entreth into a man / it can not defyle him / because it entrith not in to his hert / but into y^e belly: and goeth out in∣to the draught that porgeth oute all meates.

And he sayde: y^t defileth a mā which cometh oute of a man. For frō w^t in / even oute of the

herte of men / proceade evill thoughtes: advou¦try / fornicacion / murder / theeft / coveteousnes / wickednes / diceyte / vnclennes / & a wicked eye / blasphemy / pryde / folysshnes: all these evyll thinges come from with in / and defile a man.

And from thence he rose & went into y^e bor∣ders of Tyre & Sidon / & entred into an hous∣se / & wolde that no man shuld have knowen: But he coulde not be hyd. For a certayne wo¦mā whose doughter had a foule sprete hearde of him / & came & fell at his fete. The woman was a Greke oute of Syrophenicia / & she be∣sought him y^t he wolde caste out y^e devyll oute of her doughter. And Iesus sayde vnto her: let the chyldren fyrst be feed. For it is not me∣te / to take the chyldrēs breed / & to caste it vn∣to whelpp{is}. She answered and sayde vnto him: even soo master / neverthelesse / the whelp¦pes also eate vnder the table of the chyldrens cromes. And he sayde vnto her: for this say∣inge goo thy waye / the devyll is gone out of thy doughter. And when she was come ho∣me to her housse / she founde the devyll depar¦ted / and her doughter lyinge on the beed.

[ D] ✚ And he departed agayne from the coostes of Tyre & Sidon / & came vnto the see of Gali¦le thorowe y^e midd{is} of the coostes of y^e .x. ci∣ties. And they brought vnto him one y^t was deffe & stambred in his speche / & prayde him to laye his honde apon him. And he toke him a syde from y^e people / & put his fyngers in his eares / & dyd spyt & touched his tounge / and lo¦ked vp to heven and sygthed / and sayde vn∣to

him: ephatha / that is to saye / be openned. And streyght waye his eares were openned / and the stringe of his tounge was loosed / & he spake playne. And he cōmaunded them that they shuld tell no man. But the more he for∣bad them / soo moche the more a greate deale they publesshed it: and were beyonde measu∣re astonyed / sayinge: He hath done all thing{is} well / and hath made booth the deffe to heare / & the dōme to speake. ⊢
