THenne thus as we wente fro Syrye in to Egypte / an holy man receyued vs ryght swetly the whiche made redy for vs to ete and drynke to fore the hour determy∣ned to theym that faste. Thenne we demaūded hym wherfore he made vs
to dyne to fore the hour accustomed. And he answered to vs. My frendes ye be not alwaye with me / but fastyng a∣bydeth alwaye here / & so I may alway recouer to faste / but not you / & therfor whyles yt ye be here. I wyll well that ye ete with me. For I shall well mowe after recouer my fastyng.
