¹ He sayde vnto his disciples: It is vnpossible that offences shulde not come: but wo vnto him by whom they come:² It were better for him, that a mylstone were hanged aboute his neck, and he cast in to the see, then that he shulde offende one of these litle ones.³ Take hede to youre selues. Yf thy brother trespace agaynst the, rebuke him:⁴ and yf he amende, forgeue him. And though he synne agaynst the seuen tymes in a daye, and come seuen tymes in a daye to ye agayne, and saye: It repenteth me, forgeue him.⁵ And the Apostles sayde vnto ye LORDE: Increace oure faith.⁶ The LORDE sayde: Yf ye haue faith as a grayne of mustarde sede, and saye vnto this Molbery tre: Plucke thy self vp by the rotes, and plate thy self in the see, it shalbe obediet vnto you.⁷ Which of you is it, that hath a seruaunt (which ploweth, or fedeth the catell) wha he commeth home from ye felde, that he wil saye vnto him: Go quyckly, and syt the downe to meate?⁸ Is it not thus? that he sayeth vnto him: Make ready, that I maye suppe, gyrde vp thyself, and serue me, tyll I haue eaten and dronken, afterwarde shalt thou eate and drynke also.⁹ Thanketh he the same seruaunt also, because he dyd that was commaunded him? I trowe not.¹⁰ So likewyse ye, wha ye haue done all that is comaunded you, saye: We are vnprofitable seruauntes, we haue done that we were bounde to do.

¹¹ And it fortuned, whan he toke his iourney towarde Ierusalem, he wente thorow the myddest of Samaria and Galile.¹² And as he came in to a towne, there met him ten leporous men, which stode afarre of,¹³ and lift vp their voyce, and sayde: Iesu master, haue mercy vpon vs.¹⁴ And whan he sawe them, he sayde vnto the: Go, and shewe youre selues vnto ye prestes. And it came to passe, as they wente, they were clensed.¹⁵ And one of them wha he sawe that he was clensed, he turned backe agayne, and praysed God with loude voyce,¹⁶ and fell downe on his face at his fete, and gaue him thankes. And the same was a Samaritane.¹⁷ Iesus answered and saide: Are there not ten clensed? But where are those nyne?¹⁸ There were els none founde, that turned agayne, and gaue God the prayse, saue onely this strauger.¹⁹ And he sayde vnto him: Aryse, go thy waye, thy faith hath made ye whole.

²⁰ But whan he was demaunded of ye Pharises: Whan cometh the kyngdome of God? He answered them, and sayde: The kyngdome of God commeth not with outwarde appearaunce,²¹ nether shal it be sayde: lo, here or there is it. For beholde, ye kyngdome of God is inwarde in you.²² And he sayde to the disciples: The tyme shal come, wha ye shal desyre to se one daye of the sonne of man, and shal not se it.²³ And they shal saye vnto you: Se here, Se there.

He sayde vnto the: Where so euer ye deed carcase is there wil ye Aegles be gathered together.
