MATTHEW.
Here begynneth the prolongs on Mathew*.
MATHEW of Jewerye born, as he is 'putt firstb in ordre, so first he wrote the gospel in Jewes langage, whas cleepyng to God was from peplicanis dedis ; he takynge bifore the bygynnyng ise of tweyd, Abraham and Dauid, in the generacioun of Crist, of oon, that is, Abraham, of the whiche the first circumcisioun was in fleshe, of an other, Dauith, whas eleccioun was efter herte. Of bothe fadris forsothe Crist was bore. And so the noumbre of fourtene thries putte, he strecchynge forth the bygynnyng fro feythe of bileuynge, that was in Abraham, in to the tyme of chesynge, that was in Dauith, and dressynge fro thef chesyng anoon in to the day of transmygracioun, and diffynynge fro the day, of transmygracioun anoon in to Crist, he shewith the gene- racioun of the» cummynge of Crist fulfillid, other passynge in renninge, that he, maakynge good bothe to the noumbre and to the tyme, bothe shulde shewe hym silf whicheh he were, and, in hym silf mynystrynge the work of God, also in hem, whas kynred he putte', shulde not denye the witnesse of Crist workyngek fro the bygyn- nyng1. Of alle whoche thingis the tyme, the ordre, the noumbre, them disposicioun, other" the resoun0, that Crist is God, that is necessarie to the feith, the whiche was maad of a? womman, maad vnder lawe, bore of a maydei, suffride in fleshe, al thing ficchide in the cros, that he ouercommynge thilker thingis in hym silfe, rysynge in body, bothe the8 name of the fadir in fadris to the sone, and sones1 name to the fadir restoringe in sones, with outen bygynnyng, with oute eendynge, shewynge the fadir to be oon with hym, for he is oon. In the whiche" gospel it is profitable to men desyrynge God, so to knowe the first, the mydmestev, otherw the last, that thei, redynge bi alle thingis, vndirstonde bothe the clepynge of the apostil*, and^ the work of the gospel, and the loue2 of God kennynge in fleshe, and thei biknowe8 in hym, in the whiche thei bethb knowe, and desijryth0 to knowe. To vs forsothe it was to stodye of preuynge, bothe to take the feith of thing do, and not to be stille to men sechynge bisiliche the ordynance of God worchynge to be vndirstonde.

2 MATTHEW. 1.1,2.
Here bigynneth the Newe Testament ; a prolog on Matheu*.
Matheu that was of Judee, as he is set first in ordreb of the gospelleris, so he wroot first the gospel in Judee, and fro the office of a tolgaderer he was clepid to God. Whanne this Matheu hadde prechid first the gospel in Judee, and wolde go to hethene men, he wroot first the gospel in Ebreu, and lefte it toc mynde tod Cristen men of the Jewis, fro whiche" he departide bodili ; for as it wasf nedeful, that the gospel were prechid to the corifermyng of feith, so it was? nedeful, that it were writen also a3ens eretikis. Thou3 manye men han write the gospel, foure oonli, that is, Matheu, Mark, Luyk, and Joon, han the witnessyng of autorite. For thei tellen the feith of the Trynyte, bi foure partis of the world ; and thei ben as foure wheelis in the foure horsid carte of the Lord, that berithh hym aboute bi preching' of the gospel ; and mankynde that was slayn bi foure dethis, shulde be qwikenyd bi the prcchyng of hem. And therfor the gospels of otherek writers fellen doun, and ben not resceyued, for the Lord nolde1, that the forseid noumbre were destried, for the vertu of sacrament. Also the foure gospelleris ben vndirstonden bi foure figuris of goostli preuyte. Matheu is vndurstondun by man, for he duellith principali aboute the manhod of Crist ; Mark is vndurstondun bi a lioun, for be tretith of Cristis risyng a3en ; Luke is vndirstonden bi a calf, and tretith of presthod ; Joon is vndurstondun bi an egle, and writeth hi3lier them sacramentis ether11 hooli priuytees of the Godhed. Forsothe Crist, whom thes gospelleris discryuen, was a man borun of the virgyn ; he was a calf, in offryng, ether0 diynge on the cros ; he was a lioun, in risynge a3en ; and he was an egle, in ascencioun. Ethir the manhed of Crist is signified in man, presthod is signified in the calf, rewme is signified in the lioun, and the sacrament of Godhed i' is signified in the egle; that is, by thesi foure beestis it is declarid, that Jhesu Crist is God and man, king and prest.

3 And Jhesus, holdynge forthe the bond, touchide hym, sayinge", I wole, be thou maad clene. And anoon the lepre of hym
4 was clensid. And Jhesus saith0 to hym, See, say thou to no man ; but go, shewe thee to prestis, and offre that? jifte thati Moyses comaundide, in to witnessing to

13 And Jhesus saide^ to centurio, Go, and as thou hast bileeued, be it don to thee. And
u the child was helid fro that houre. And when Jhesus hadde comen in to the hous of Symond'1 Petre, he say his wyues mo- der liggynge', and shakunk with feueris1.

And Y seie to 3ou, that manyu schulen come fro the eest and " the ° west, and schulen reste with Abraham and?

And Jhesus seide to the" is centurioun, Go, and as thou hast bi- leuyd, be it doon to thee. And the child was heelid fro that hour. And whanne 14 Jhesus was cornun in to the hous of Sy- mount Petre, he say his wyues modir liggynge, and shakun1 with feueris". And 13 he touchide hir hoond, and the feuer lefte hir ; and she roos, and seruede hern. And whanne it was euen, thei brou3ten u; to hym manye that hadden deuelis, and he castide out spiritis bi word, and heel- ide alle that weren yuel at ese ; that 17 it were fulfillid, that was seid by Ysaie, the profete, seiynge, He took oure in- firmytees, and bar oure siknessis.

these thingis to hem, loo ! oo? prince 'came
toi, and worshipid hym, sayinger, Lord, my
dou3tir is now dead ; but cume thou, and
put thin hond vpon s hire, and she shal

suffride the flix, 'or rennynge*, of blood
twelue 3eer, "cam tou byhynde, and touch-
21 ide the hemme of his clothe. Sothely she saide with ynne hirv self, 3if I touchew oonly the clothis* of hym, I shal be saaf.
22 And Jhesus turnyde, and seeynge hir, saide, Dorter, haue thou> trust; thi faith hath made thee saaf. And the woinman
23 was inaad saaf fro that houre. And when Jhesus came in to the hous of the prince, andz see3 mynstrelis, and the companye3
24 makynge noyse, he saide, Go 3eb awey, for the wenchec is nat dead, but slepithd. And
25 thei scornyden hym. And when the cum- panye was cast6 out, he entride inf, and held hir honde ; and£ the wenche'1 roose
26 vp. And this fame wente out in to al the1
2;londe. And Jhesu passynge thennesk, twey1 blynde men sueden hym111, cryinge, and n sayinge, Thou sone of Dauith, haue mercy
28 of0 vs. Sothely when vthei came home'', the blynde men camen ni^i to hym ; and Jhesus saith1" to hern, What wole 36, that I do to 3ou ? And thei seiden8, Lord, that oure ee3en ben opnyd. And Jhesus saide,
schulen come, whanne the spouse schal be takun a wei fro hem, and thanne thei schulen faste. And no man putteth a i« clout of buystous clothe in to an elde clothing ; for it doith awey the fulnesse of the cloth, and a wers breking is maad. Nethir men putten newe wyne in to elde 17 botelis, ellis the hotels x ben to-broke, and distried, and the wyn sched out. But men putten newe wyne in to newe hotels, and bothe ben kept^. Whiles that i« Jhesus spak thes thingis to hem, lo ! a prince cam, and worschipide hym, and seide, Lord, my dorter is now deed ; but corne thou, and putte thin hond on hir, and she schal lyue. And Jhesus is» roos, and vhise disciplis, and sueden hym>y. And lo ! a woinman, that hadde thezao blodi flux twelue 3ere, nei3ede bihynde, and touchide the hem of his cloth. For 21 sche seide with ynne hir self, 3if Y touche oonli the cloth of hym, Y schal be saaf. And Jhesus turnede, and say hir, and 22 seide, Dou3tir, haue thou trist ; thi feith hath maad thee saaf. And the womman was hool fro that our. And whanne 2:5 Jhesus earn in to the hous of the prince, and say mynstrallis, and the8 puple mak- ynge noise, he seide, Go 36 a wei, for the 24 damysel is not deed, but slepith. And thei scornyden hym. And whanne the 25 folc was put out, he wente in, and helde hir hond; and the damysel roosb. And 20 this fame wente out in to al that loond. And whanne Jhesus passide fro thennus, 27 tweic blynde men criynge sueden hym, and seiden, Thou sone of Dauid, haue merci on vs. And whanne he cam in 28 to the hous, the blynde men camen to hym ; and Jhesus seide to hem, What wolen 36, that I do to 3ou ?

hem, 3ee goynge telleb a3ein to Joon thec thingis thatd je ban herde and seen. aBlynde men seen, crokid men wandren6, mesels ben maad clene, deef men heeren, dead men risen a}ein, pore men ben 'taken to prechynge off the gospel, or ben? ^maad
6 keepers of the gospel**. And he is blessid,
7 that shal nat be sclaundrid in me. Sothely hem1 goynge awey, Jhesus biganne fork to seye of Joon to the cumpanyes, What thing wenten je out for1 to see inm de- sert n ? whether a reede wawid0 withP
s wynd ? But what thing wente 36 out 1 forr to seen ? whether a man clothid3 with soft thingis* ? Loo ! thei that ben clothid" with softe thingis ben in housisv of kyngis.
9 But what thing wenten 30 out forw to se ? whether a prophete ? %e, I seie to 3ou,
10 and more than a prophete. For this is he, of whom it is writyn, Loo ! I sende myne aungel before thi face, thatx shal make
1 1 redy thi wey bifore thee. Trewly I say to 3ou, 'ther roose noon more? than Joon Baptist amonge childrenz of wommen ; for- sothe he that is lessea in the kyngdam of
12 heuenes, is more than he. Sothely fro the days of Joon Baptist til now the kyngdam of heuenes suffreth strengtheb, 'or vio-
\3lencec, and violent men rauyshen it. For alle prophetisd and6 the lawe tilf Joon Bap- 14 tist& prophecieden ; and 3if 36 wolen res- io seyuen, he is Ely that is to cume1'. He that ic hath eeris of heerynge, heere he'. But to whom shal I gesse this generacioun lichyk? It is lichik to children sittynge in cheep- ynge1, thera whiche, cryinge to her peeris, 17 seien, We ban sungen to 3011, and 30 ban nat lippid" ; we ban mourned to 3ou, and i83e ban nat weilid. Sothely Joon cam nei- ther etyinge ne° drynkynge, and thei seien,
seide 'to hemz, Go 36, and telle* a3en to Joon tho thingis that 36 ban herd and seyn. Blynde men seen, crokid men goon, 5 meselis ben maad clene, deefe men heren, deed men rysen a3en, pore men ben takun to 'prechyng ofb the gospel. And he is 6 blessid, that shal not be sclaundrid in me. And whanne thei weren goon awei, 7 Jhesus bigan to seie of Joon to the pu- ple, What thing wenten 36 out in to desert toc se ? a reed wawed with thed wynd ? Or what thing wenten 36 out toes see ? a man clothid with softe clothis ? Lo! thei that ben clothid with softe clothis ben in thef housis of kyngis. But a what thing wenten 36 out to se ? a pro- phete ? 3he, Y seie to 3ou, and more than a prophete. For this is he, ofio whom it is writun, Lo ! Y sende myn aungel bifor thi face, that shal make redi thi weye bifor thee. Treuli Y seie 1 1 to 3ou3 ther roos noon more than Joon Baptist among the children of wymmen; but he that is lesse in the kyngdom of heuenes, is more than he. And fro the 12 daies of Joon Baptist til now the kyng- dom of heuenes suffrith violence, and violent men rauyschen it. For alle pro- 13 phetis and the lawe 'til to» Joon pro- phecieden ; and if 36 wolen resseyue, he u is Elie that is to come. He that hath is eris of heryng, here he. But to whom is schal Y gesse this generacioun lijk ? It is lijk to children sittynge inh chepyng, that' crien to her peeris, and seien, Wei7 ban songun to 3ou, and 36 ban not daun- sid ; we ban morned to 3ou, and 36 ban not weilid. For Joon cam nether etynge is ne drynkynge, and thei seien, He hath a deuel. The sone of man cam etynge 19

29 of her" sonys. Thanne Jhesus began for" to seie repreue to citees, in whiche ful manye vertues of hym benv don, for thei diden
21 nat penaunce. Woo to thee ! Corozaym, woo to thee ! Bethsaida ; for 3if thow ver- tues that ben don in 3011 hadden ben don in Tyre and Sydon, sum tyme thei hadden
22 don penaunce in haire and aschx. Netheles I sayxx, it? shal be softer, or* ^lesse peyne*, to Tyre and Sydon than to jou, in the day
23 of dome. And thou, Caphernaum, whe- ther11 til in to heuen thou shalt be 'rerid vpc ? Thou shalt go doun tild into helle. For 3if the vertues that ben don in thee, hadden be don in Sodom e, perauenture thei 'shulden hanf dwellid til Vn to& this
24 day. Netheles Y saye to 3ou, for to the lond of Sodom it shal be softer, 'or lesse peyne*1, in the day of dome, than to thee.
2:> In Hhe ilk' tyme Jhesus answerynge saide, I knowleche to thee, fadir, lord of heuen and erthek, for thou hast hid these thingis fro wijse men and -v ware, or slee^ men}, and
20 hast shewid hem to litil men™ ; so, fadir, for whi" so it was 'plesynge tofore0 thee.
27 Alle thingis ben taken? to me of my fadir; and no man knewei the sone, no but the fadir, neither eny man knewer the fadir, no but the sone, and to whom the sone
28 wolde8 shewe. Alle 36 that traueilen, and ben chargid, corne1 to me, and I shal re-

and drynkynge, and thei seien, Lo ! a man a' glotoun, and a drinkere of wijne, and a freend of pupplicans and of syn- ful men. And wisdom is iustified of her sones. Thanne Jhesus bigan toJ seye2o repreef to citees, in whiche ful manye vertues of him weren doon, for thei diden not penaunce. Wo to thee ! Corosaym, 21 woo to thee ! Bethsaida ; for if the ver- tues that ben doon in 3ouk hadden be doon in Tyre and Sidon, sumtyme thei hadden don penaunce in heyre and aische. Netheles Y seie to 3ou, it1 schal be lesse 22 peyne to Tire and Sidon in the dai of doom, than to 3ou. And thou, Ca-23 farnaum, whethir thou schalt be arerid"1 vp in to heuenen? Thou shalt go doun in to helle. For if the vertues that ben don in thee, hadden be don in Sodom, perauen- ture thei schulden haue dwellid vin tonn this dai. Netheles Y seie to 3ou, that to 24 the lorid of Sodom0 it schal be vlesse peyne? in the dai of doom, than to thee. In thilkei 25 tymer Jhesus answeride, and seide, Y knowleche to thee, fadir, lord of heuene and of erthe, for thou hast hid these thingis fro wijse men, and redi, and hast schewid8 hem to litle children ; so, fadir, 20 for so it was plesynge toforess thee. Alle 27 thingis ben 3ouune to me of my fadir ; and no man knewe the sone, but the fa- dir, nethir ony mail knewe the fadir, but the sone, and to whom the sone wolde schewe.

And he comaundide to hem, that thei shulden nat make hym vopyn, or n knotven* ; that that1 thing shulde be ful- filled", that was said by Ysay, the pro- is phete, seyinge, Loo! my chosen v child, Vhom I haue chosen, my derlyngw, in whom it hath wel plesid to my soule; I shal putte my spirit on hym, and he shal
19 telle dome to heithen men. He shal nat stryue, vne crye*, nether eny man shal here
20 his voice in stretis. He shal nat breke to gidre a schaken? reed, and he shal nat quenche smokynge flax, til thatz he cast
21 out dome to victorie ; and hethen men
22 shulen hope in his name. Thanne a blynd man and* doumb, hauynge a deuelb, was offrid vpc to hym ; and he helide hym, so
23 that he spac, and sayd. And alle thee cumpanyes wondreden, and saiden, Wherf
24 this bes the sone of Dauith? But the Pharisees, heryngeh, seiden, He1 this cast- ith notj out feendis, no but in Belzabub,
25 prince of fendisk. Sothely Jhesus, witynge her thou3tis, seide to hem, Eche kyngdam departid a3eins vhym self1, shal be deso- latm, W discounfortid", and eche citee, or0 hous, departid a3eins it? self, shal nat

27 And 3if I in Belzabub cast out deuelisr, in whom, W whos mi^ts, 3oure sonys casten out ? Therfore thei shulen ben 3oure

wenten out, and maden a counsel a3ens hym, hou thei schulden distrie hym. And Jhesus knewe it, and wente awei v> fro thennus; and many sueden hym, and he helide hem alle. And he comaundide ie to hem, that thei schulden not make hym knowun ; that that thing were fulfillid, 17 that was seid by Isaie, the prophete, sei- ynge, Lo ! my child, whom Y haue is chosun, my derling, in whom it hath wel plesid to my soule ; Y shal put my spirit on him, and he shal telle dom to hethen men. He shal not stryue, ne crye, nethir 19 ony man shal here his voice in stretis. A 20 brisid rehed he shal not breke, and he schal not quenche smokynge flax, til he caste out doom to victorie; and hethene2i men schulen hope in his name. Thanne 22 a man blynde and doumbe, that hadde a feend, was brou3t to hym ; and he helide hym, so that he spak, and say. And al23 the puple wondride, and seide, Whether" this be the sone of Dauid ? But the Fa- 24 risees herden, and seiden, He this casteth not out0 feendis, but in Belsabub, prince of feendis. And Jhesus, witynge her 25 thou3tis, seide to hem, Eche kingdom departid a3ens it silf, schal be desolatid00, and eche cite, or hous, departid a3ens it self, schal not stonde. And if Satanas26 castith out Satanas, he is departid a3ens him silf; therfor hou schal his? kingdom stonde ? And if Y in Belsabub caste out 27 deuelisi, in Vhom 3oure sones casten ouf ?

4,-> maad faire. Thanne he goth, and takith seuen other spiritis with hym, worse than hym self; and thei entrynge yn' dwellen there. And the last thingis of that man ben maad worse than the former. So it shal be and& to this worst generacioun.

CAP. XIII.
1 In that day Jhesus goynge out of the
2 hous, sat besidis the see. And manye cumpanyes vof peplei benr gedrid to hym, so that he steyinge vps in to a boot sat ; and al the cumpanye stode in the brynke.
3 And he spak to hem many thingis in pa- rablis, seiynge, Loo ! he that sowith, goth1
Jonas. The queene of the south shal rise 42 in doom with this generacioun, and schal condempne it ; for she cam fro the eendis of the™ erthe to here the wisdom of Sa- lomon, and lo ! here a gretter than Salo- mon. Whanne an vnclene spirit goith"43 out fro a man, he goith bi drie places, 'and sekith0 rest, arid fyndith not. Thanne 44 he seith, Y shal turne a3en in to myn hous, fro whannys Y wente out. And he cometh, and fyndith it voide, and clensid with besyms, and maad faire. Thanne 45 he goith, and takith with him seuene othere spiritis? worse than hym silf ; and thei entren, and dwellen there. And the laste thingis of that man ben maad worse than the formere. So it shal be to this worste generacioun. 3it whil he spak to *6 the puple, lo ! his modir and his brethe- ren stoden 1 with outeforth, sekynge to speke to r hym. And a man seide to <7 hym, Lo ! thi modir and thi britheren stonden with outeforth, sekynge thee. - He6 answeride to the man, that spak to4« hym, and seide, Who is my modir ? and who ben my britheren ? And he helde 49 forth his hoond in to hise disciplis, and seide, Lo ! my modir and my bretheren ; for who euer doith the wille of my fadir 50 that is in heuenes, he is my brothir, and sistir, and modir.

i73oure eris that heeren. Forsothe I saye trewthef to 3011?, for many prophetis and iuste men coueitidenh to see thoo thingus that 366 seen, and thei saien nat, and to' heeren thook thingis that 366 heeren, and
iitthei herden nat. Therfore heere 36 the
19 parable of the vsowynge man1. Eche that heerith the word of rewmem, and vndir- stondithn nat, the yuel spirit cometh, and rauyschith that" that is sowyn in hisP herte ; this is that ' is sowen besidis the
20 weye. Sothely1" he that is sowen on the stoon8, 'this it is*, that heerith the word of
21 God, and anoon with ioye takith it. For- sothe'1 he hath natv roote in hym self, but it"' is temporal ; ^that is, it* lastith hot? a litiltyme*. Forsothea tribulacioun and per- secucioune maadb for the word, anoon he
22 is sclaundrid. Botc he that is sowen in thornys, is this that herith the word, and the bysynesse of this world, and the fals- nessisd of ritchessis stranglithe the word,
23 and it is maad with outen fruyt. Bot he that is sowen in tof good lond, is this that herith the word, and vndirstondith", and bryngthe forth fruyt. And sothely sume makith an hundrefold, treuly another six-
24tyfold, forsothe another thrittifold. An- other1' parable Jhesus putte5 forth vto hemk, seyinge, The kyngdam of heuenes is maad liche1 to a man, that sewm good seed in his
2sfeeld. But", when men slepten, his enmye came, and sew0 aboue dernelP, vor cokil \ in ther midil8 of whete*, and wente awey.
2« Sothely when the herbe hadde growid", and maadv fruyt, thanne the dernelw, W
W co&il*, apperiden. Forsothe the seruauntis of the husbondernan vcomynge ^3^, vseiden
3ou, that manye profetis and iust men coueitiden0 to se tho thingis that 36 seen, and . thei sayn not, and to heere tho thingis that 36 heren, and thei herden not. Therfor here 36 the parable of the i» sowere. Echd that herith the word ofi'J the rewme, and vndirstondith not, the yuel spirit cometh, and rauyschith that that is sowun in his herte ; this it is, that is sowun bisidis6 the weie. But this 20 tfiat is sowun on thef stony loond, this it is, that herith the word of God, and anoon with ioye takith it. And he hath not 21 roote in hyrn silf, but isff temporal. For whanne tribulacioun and persecucioun is maad for the word, anoon he is sclaun- drid. But he that is sowun in thornes, 22 is thiss that heerith the word, and the1' bisynesse' of thisk world, and the fallace of ritchessis strangulith the word, and it is maad with outen fruyt. But he 23 that is sowun in to good loond, is this that herith the word, and vnderstondeth, and bryngith forth fruyt. And summe makith an hundrid fold, treuli anothir sixti fold, and another thritti fold. An- 24 othir1 parable Jhesus puttide"1 forth to hem, and seide, The kyngdom of heuenes is maad lijk to a man, that sewe good seed in his feld. And whanne men slepten, 2.% his enemy cam, and sewe aboue taris in the rnyddil of whete, and wente awei. But whanne the erbe was growed", and 26 made fruyt, thanne the taris apperiden.

si An other parable Jhesusz puttea forth to hem, seiynge, The kyngdam of heuenes is like to a corn of seneuey, theb whiche a
3-2 man takyngec sewe in his feeld. The1 whiche trewly6 is leestf of alle seedis, but when it hath wexen, it is most& of alle wortis, and is1' maad a tree; so that briddis1 of the eyre cummen, and dwellen
33 in vbowis, or brau)tchisk, therof. An1 other parable ^Jhesus spac™ to hem, The kyngdam of heuenes is lie to soure dow3, the" whiche taken, a wornman hidde0 in three mesuris of rneele, til it were al sowr-
:«dowid. Jhesus spac alle these thingis in parablis to the cumpanyes vof pepleP, and he spac nat to hem with outen parablis,
35 that iti shulde. be fulfillidr, 'that thing that9 is seid by the prophete, seyinge, I shal opyn my mouth in parablis ; I shal vbolke out, or telle oute1, 'hid thingus" fro rnak-

And he seide, Nay, 20 lest perauenture 30 in gaderynge taris drawen vp with hem the whete bi the roote. Suffre 36 hem bothe tor wexe in :«o to repyng tyme; and in the8 tyme of ripe1 corne Y shal seie to the reperis, First ga- dere 36 to gidere the taris, and bynde hem to gidere in knytchis to be brent, but gadere 36 whete" in to my berne. An- si otherv parable Jhesus puttidew forth to hem, and seide, The kyngdom of heuenes is lijk to a corn of seneuey, which a man took, and sewe in his feeld. Which is 32 thex leeste of alle seedis, but whanne it hath y woxen, it'? is thez moste of alle wortis, and is maad a tre; so that briddis of the eir comen, and dwellen in the bowis therof. Another parable Jhesus m spac to hern, The kyngdom of heuenes is lijk to sour dou3, which a a womman took, and hidde in thre mesuris of mele, til it were alle sowrid. Jhesus spac alle 34 thes thingis in parablis to the puple, and he spac not to hem with out parablis, that it schulde be fulfillid, that is seid bi 35 the prophete, seiynge, Y shal opene my mouth in parablis ; Y shal telle out hid thingis fro the makyng of the world.

Therfor as taris ben4o gaderid togidere, and ben brent in fier, so it shal be in the endyng of the world. Mannus sone shal sende hise aungels, 41 and thei schulen gadereff fro his rewme alle sclaundris?, and hem that doon wick- idnesse ; and thei schulen sende hem in 42 to the chymney of fier, there shal be weping and betyng to gidere of teeth.
