¹ Then came vnto him the scribes and pharises from Ierusalem, sayenge:² Why do thy disciples transgresse ye tradicions of the elders? for they wash not their hodes whan they eate bred.³ He answered & sayde vnto the: Why do ye transgresse the comaundemet of God, because of youre owne tradicios?⁴ For God comaunded, sayege: Honoure father & mother: & he yt curseth father & mother, shal dye the death.⁵ But ye saye: Euery man shal saye to father or mother: The thige yt I shulde helpe ye withal, is geue vnto God.⁶ By this is it come to passe, that no man honoureth his father or his mother eny more. And thus haue ye made the comaundement of God of none effecte, for youre owne tradicios.⁷ Ye ypocrites, full well hath Esaye prophecied of you, & sayde:⁸ This people draweth nye vnto me wt their mouth, & honoureth me wt their lippes, howbeit, their hert is farre fro me.⁹ But in vayne do they serue me, whyle they teach soch doctrynes as are nothinge but the commaundementes of men.

Wha one blinde leadeth another, they fall both i ye diche.¹⁵ Then answered Peter & sayde vnto him: Declare vnto us this parable.¹⁶ And Iesus sayde vnto the: Are ye yet the without vnderstondinge?¹⁷ Perceaue ye not, yt what soeuer goeth in at ye mouth, descedeth downe in to ye bely, & is cast out into the draught?¹⁸ But the thinge that proceadeth out of the mouth, cometh fro ye hert, & that defyleth ye ma.¹⁹ For out of ye hert come euell thoughtes murthur, breakynge of wedlocke, whordome theft, false witnesse, blasphemy.²⁰ These are ye thinges that defyle a man. But to eate wt vnwasshen hondes, defyleth not a man.
