euer drinketh of this water, shall thirste a∣gayne. But who so euer shall drynke of the water that I shall gyue hym, shall neuer be more a thirste: but the water that I shal gyue him, shalbe in him a well of water, sprynging vp into euerlastinge lyfe. The woman sayde to him: Syr, gyue me of that water, that I thyrst not, neyther come hyther to drawe. Ie∣sus [ C] sayde vnto her. Go and call thy husband, and come hyther. And the woman answered, and sayde to him: I haue no husbande. Iesus sayde to her: Thou hast well sayd, I haue no husbande. For thou hast had fyue husbandes, and he whome thou now hast, is not thy hus∣bande. That saydest thou truely.
The woman sayde vnto him: Syr, I per∣ceyue, thou arte a Prophet. Our fathers wor¦shypped in this mountayne: and ye saye that in Ierusalem is the place, where men oughte to worshyppe. Iesus sayde vnto her: woman beleue me, the houre is commynge, when ye shall neyther in this mountayne nor yet at Ie¦rusalem, worshippe the father. Ye worshyppe ye wot not what: we knowe what we wor∣shyppe. For helth commeth of the Iewes. But the houre commeth and nowe is, when the true worshyppers shall worshyppe the fa∣ther in sprete, and trouthe. For suche also the father seketh to worshyp hym. God is a sprete and they that worshyp him, must worshyppe hym in sprete and trouthe.
The woman sayde vnto hym: I wot well that Messias shal come, which is called Christ When he is come, he will tell vs all. Iesus sayde to her: I that speake vnto the, am he. And euen with that came his disciples, & mer∣ueled [ D] that he talked with the woman. Yet no man sayde vnto hym: What meanest thou, or why talkest thou with her? The woman thē left her waterpot, and went her waye into ye cytie, and sayde to the men. Come, se a man whiche tolde me all that euer I dyd. Is not he Christ? Then they went out of the cytie, & came to hym.
In the meane whyle, his disciples prayed him, sayenge: Master, eate. He sayde vnto [ E] them: I haue meate to eate, that ye knowe not of.

And to finyshe his worke Saye not ye: there are yet foure monethes, & then commeth haruest? Beholde, I saye vnto you, lyfte vp your eyes, and loke on the regi∣ons: for they are whyte alredy vnto haruest. And he that repeth receyueth rewarde, & ga∣thereth frute vnto lyfe eternall: that both he that soweth, and he that repeth, myghte re∣ioyse togither. And herein is the sayenge true, that one soweth and an other repeth. I sente you to repe that wheron ye bestowed no la∣bour. Other men laboured, and ye are entred into their labours.
Many of the Samaritans of that cytie be∣leued [ F] on him, for the sayenge of the woman / whiche testified: he tolde me all, that euer I dyd. Then when the Samaritans were come vnto hym they besought hym, that he wolde tary with them. And he abode there .ij. dayes.
