The Gospel.
IT chanced that Iesus went into the house of one of the chiefe Pha∣rises, to eat bread on the Sabboth day, and they watched him. And behold, there was a certaine man before him which had the dropsie. And Iesus answered & spake vn∣to the Lawyers & Pharises, say∣ing, Is it lawfull to heale on the Sabboth day? And they held their peace. And he tooke him, & healed him, & let him go, & answered them, saying, Which of you shal haue an Asse, or an Oxe fallen into a pit, and will not straight∣way pul him out on the Sabboth day? And they could not answere him again to these things. He put forth also a simili∣tude to the ghests, when he marked how they preased to be in the highest roomes, and said vnto them, When thou art bid∣den to a wedding of any man, sitte not downe in the highest roome, least a more honourable man then thou bee bidden of him, and hee that bade him and thee, come and say to thee, Giue this man roome: and thou begin with shame to take the

lowest roome. But rather when thou art bidden, goe and fit in the lowest roome, that when he that bad thee, commeth, hee may say vnto thee, Friend, sit vp higher: then shall thou haue worship in the presence of them that sit at meate with thee. For whosoener exalteth himselfe, shall be brought low, and he that humbleth himselfe, shall be exalted.
