A   Then came to Iesus scribes ∧ pharises from Ierusalem / sayinge: ^note why do thy disciples transgresse the tradici&obar;s of þe; elders? ^note for they wesshe not their hond&es; / when they eate breed. He answered / and sayde vnto them: why do ye also transgresse þe; c&obar;maundment of God / thorowe youre tradicions? For God c&obar;maunded / sayinge: honoure thy father ∧ mother / ∧ he that cursseth father or mother / shall suffer deeth. But ye saye / every m&abar; shall saye to his father or mother: That which thou desyrest of me to helpe þe; with: is geven God: ∧ so shall he not honoure his father or his mother. And thus haue ye made / þt; the c&obar;maundment

of God is with out effecte / through youre tradici&obar;s. Ypocrit&es; well prophesyed of you Esay sayinge: ^note This people draweth nye vnto me with their mouthes / and honoureth me with their lippes / howbe it their hertes are farre from me: but in vayne they worshippe me teachinge doctrines / ^note whiche are nothing but mens precepts.

B   And he called the people vnto him / ∧ sayde to them: heare and vnderstande. That which goeth into the mouth / defyleth not þe; man: but that which commeth out of the mouth / ^note defyleth the man.

Then came his disciples / and sayde vnto him. Perceavest thou not / how that the pharises are offended in hearinge thys sayinge? He answered / ^note ∧ sayde: all plantes which my hev&ebar;ly father hath not planted / shalbe plucked vp by the rotes. ^noteLet them alone / they be the blynde leaders of the blynde. If the blynde leede the blynde / boothe shall fall into the dyche. ^note

Then answered Peter ∧ sayd to him: declare vnto vs this parable. Then sayde Iesus: are ye yet with oute vnderstondinge? perceave ye not / that what soever goeth in at the mouth / descendeth doune in to the bely / ∧ is cast out into the draught? ^noteBut those thingis which procede out of the mouth / come from the herte / and they defyle the man. For out of the herte come evyll thoughtis / murder / breakyng of wedlocke / whord&obar; / theefte / falce witnes berynge / blasphemye. These are the thingis which defyle a man. But to eate with vnwesshen

hondes / defyleth not a man. &cross3;

C    ^note&cross2; And Iesus went thence / ∧ departed in to the costis of Tyre and Sidon. And beholde a woman which was a Cananite came out of þe; ^note same coostis / ∧ cryed vnto him / sayinge: have mercy on me Lorde the sonne of David / my doughter is pytiously vexed with a devyll. And he gave her never a worde to answer. Then came to him his disciples / ∧ besought him sayinge: sende her awaye / for she foloweth vs cryinge. He answered / and sayde: I am not sent / but vnto þe; loost shepe of þe; housse of Israel. Then she came ∧ worshipped him / sayinge: master helpe me. He answered ∧ sayde: it is not good / to take the chyldrens breed / ∧ to cast it to whelpes. She answered and sayde: truthe Lorde: neverthelesse the whelpes eate of the cr&obar;mes / which fall from their masters table. Then Iesus answered and sayde vnto her. O woman greate is thy faith / be it to the / even as thou desyrest. And her doughter was made whole even at that same houre. &cross3;

^noteThen Iesus went awaye from thence ∧ came nye vnto the see of Galile / and went vp in to a mountayne and sat doune there. And moche people came vnto him / havinge with th&ebar; / halt / blynde / domme / maymed / and other many: and cast them doune at Iesus fete. And he healed them / in so moche that the people wondred / to se the d&obar;me speake / the maymed whole / the halt to go / and þe; blynde to se. And they glorified the God of Israel.

Then Iesus called his disciples to him /

∧ sayde: ^note I have compassion on þe; people / becau se they have c&obar;tynued with me now .iii. dayes / ∧ have nought to eate: ∧ I wyll not let them departe fastinge / leste they perisshe in þe; waye. And his disciples sayd vnto him: wh&ebar;ce shuld we get so moche breed in þe; wildernes / as shuld suffise so greate a multitude? And Iesus sayde vnto them: how many loves have ye? And they sayde: seven / and a feawe litle fysshes. ^noteAnd he c&obar;maunded þe; people to syt doune on þe; grounde: ∧ toke the seven loves / ∧ the fysshes / ∧ gave thankes / and brake them / and gave to his disciples / ∧ the disciples gave them to the people. And they dyd all eate ∧ were suffised. And they toke vp of the brok&ebar; meate that was lefte .vii. basket&es; full. And yet they that ate were .iiii.M. men / besyde wemen ∧ chyldren. And he sent awaye the people / and toke shippe and came into the parties of Magdala.
