And thei filliden hem, vp to the mouth.<sup>8</sup> And Jhesus seide to hem, Drawe ye now, and bere ye to the architriclyn. And thei baren.<sup>9</sup> And whanne the architriclyn hadde tastid the watir maad wiyn, and wiste not wherof it was, but the mynystris wisten that drowen the watir, the architriclyn clepith the spouse,<sup>10</sup> and seith to hym, Ech man settith first good wiyn, and whanne men ben fulfillid, thanne that that is worse; but thou hast kept the good wiyn `in to this tyme.¹¹ Jhesus dide this the bigynnyng of signes in the Cane of Galilee, and schewide his glorie; and hise disciplis bileueden in hym.
