The Gospel.
WHile Iesus spake vnto the people, * behoid, there came a certaine ruler and worshipped him, saying, My daughter is euen now deceassed, but come and lay thy hand vpon her, and shee liue. And Iesus arose, and followed him, and so did his disciples. And behold, awomau which was diseased with an issue of blood twelue yeeres, came be∣hind him and touched the hemme of his vesture. For shee said within herselfe, If I may touch but euen his vesture onely, I shalbe safe. But Iesus turned him about, and when hee saw her, Doughter, be of good comfort, thy faith hath made thee safe. And the woman was made whole euen the same time. And when Iesus came into the rulers house, and said the ministrels and people ma∣king and a noyse, he said vnto them, Get you hence, for the maide is not dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorne. But when the people were put forth, he went in, and tooke her by the hand, and said, Damosel, arise. And the Damosel arose. And this noyse was abroad in all that land.
