¶ The .ix. Chap.

[ A] * 1.1ANd after .vi. dayes Iesus toke Peter / Iames / and Iohn and leede them vp into an hye mountayne out of y^e waye alone / and he was transfigured before them. And his rayment dyd shyne / and was made very whyte / even as snowe: so whyte as noo fuller can make apon the erth. And ther ape∣red vnto them Helyas with Moses: and they talked with Iesu. And Peter answered & say¦de to Iesu: Master / here is good beinge for vs / let vs make .iii. tabernacles / one for the / one for Moses / and one for Helyas. And yet he wist not what he sayde: for they were af∣rayde. And ther was a cloude that shaddo∣wed thē. And a voyce came out of the cloude sayinge: This is my dere sonne / here him.* 1.2 And sodenly they loked rounde aboute them / & sawe no man more then Iesus only w^t thē.

[ B] * 1.3And as they came doune from the hyll / he charged thē / that they shuld tell no mā what they had sene / tyll the sonne of man were ry∣sen frō * 1.4 deeth agayne. And they kepte that sayinge with them / & demaunded one of a no∣ther / what y^t rysinge from deeth agayne shuld meane? And they axed him sayinge: why then saye y^e scrib{is} / that Helyas muste fyrste come? He answered & sayde vnto them: Helyas vere¦lye shall fyrst come and restore all thinges.* 1.5 And also y^e sonne of mā as it is wryttē / shall suffre many thinges / & shall be set at nought. Moreouer I saye vnto you / that Helyas is come / and they have done vnto him whatsoe∣ver pleased them as it is wrytten of him.

And he came to his disciples / & sawe moche people aboute them / & the scribes disputinge with them. And streyght waye all the people when they behelde him / were amased / & ran to him and saluted him. And he sayde vnto the Scribes: what dispute ye with them? ✚ And one of the cōpanye answered & sayde: Master / I have brought my sonne vnto the / [ C] which hath a dōme spirite. And whensoever he taketh him / he teareth him / and he fometh / & gnassheth with his tethe / & pyneth awaye. And I spake to thy disciples that they shuld caste him out / and they coulde not.

He answered him & sayd: O generacion w^t out faith how longe shall I be with you? How longe shall I suffre you? Bringe him vnto me. And they brought him vnto him. And assone as y^e sprete sawe him / he tare him.

And he fell doune on the grounde walowin∣ge and fomynge. And he axed his father: how longe is it a goo / sens this hath happened him? And he sayde / of a chylde: & ofte tymes casteth him into the fyre / & also into the wa∣ter / to destroye him. But yf thou canste do eny thinge / have mercy on vs / and helpe vs. And Iesus sayde vnto him: ye yf thou coul∣dest beleve / all thinges are possible to him y^t belevith. * 1.6And streygth waye the father of the chylde cryed with teares sayinge: Lorde I be∣leve / helpe myne vnbelefe.

[ D] * 1.7When Iesus sawe / that the people came runnynge togedder vnto him / he rebuked the foule sprete / sayinge vnto him: Thou domme & deffe sprete / I charge the come out of him / and entre no more into him. And the sprete cryed / & rent him sore / and came out: And he was as one that had bene deed / in so moche y^t many sayde / he is deed. But Iesus caught his honde / and lyfte him vp: and he roose. And when he was come into the housse / his disciples axed him secretly: why coulde not we caste him out? And he sayde vnto them:* 1.8 this kynde can by no nother meanes come forth / but by prayer and fastynge. ⊢

✚ [ E] * 1.9And they departed thens / and toke their iorney thorow Galile / & he wolde not that eny man shuld have knowen it. For he taught his disciples / and sayde vnto them:* 1.10 The sonne of man shalbe delyvered into y^e hondes of men / and they shall kyll him / and after that he is kylled he shall aryse agayne the thryd daye.

But they wiste not what that sayinge meāt / and were affrayed to axe him.

[ B] * 1.11And he came to Capernaum. And when he was come to housse / he axed thē: what was it that ye disputed bytwene you by the waye? And they helde their peace: for by the waye they reasoned amonge thē selves / who shuld be the chefest. And he sate doune and called the twelve vnto him / and sayd to them: yf eny man desyre to be fyrst / the same shalbe last of all / and servaunt vnto all. And he toke a chyl∣de & set him in y^e middes of them / & toke him in his armes and sayde vnto them. Whosoe∣ver receave eny soche a chylde in my name / receaveth me. And whosoever receaveth me / receaveth not me / but him that sent me. ⊢

Iohn answered him sayinge: ✚ Master / we sawe one castynge out devyls in thy name / which foloweth not vs / and we forbade him / because he foloweth vs not. But Iesus sayde * 1.12 forbid him not. For ther is no mā that shall do a miracle in my name / that can lightlyge speake evyll of me. Whosoever is not agayn¦ste [ C] you / is on youre parte. And whosoever shall geve you a cuppe of water to drinke for my names sake / because ye belonge to Chri∣ste / verely I saye vnto you / he shall not loose his * 1.13 rewarde.

* 1.14And whosoever shall offende one of these ly¦tel ons / y^t beleve in me / it were better for him / y^t a mylstone were hanged aboute his necke / & y^t he he were cast into y^e see: wherfore yf thy hande offende y^e / cut him of. It is better for y^e /

to entre into lyffe maymed / then havynge two hondes / goo into hell / into fire y^t never shalbe quenched / where there worme dyeth not / & the fyre never goeth oute. Lykewyse yf thy fote offende the / cut him of. For it is better for the to goo halt into lyfe / then havynge two fete to be cast into hell / into fyre that never shalbe quenched: where there worme dyeth not / & the fyre never goeth oute. Even so yf thyne eye offende the / plucke him oute. It is better for the to goo into the kyngdom of god with one eye / then havynge two eyes / to be caste into hell fyre:* 1.15 where there worme dyeth not / & the fyre never goeth oute. ⊢

* 1.16Every man therfore shalbe salted w^t fyre: And every sacrifise shalbe seasoned with salt. Salt is good. But yf y^e salt be vnsavery: what shall ye salte therwith? Se y^t ye have salt in youre selves: & have peace amonge youre sel∣ves / one with another.
