^noteIudge not / that ye be not iudged. For as ye iudge so shall ye be iudged. A   And &wt; what mesure ye mete / &wt; the same shall it be mesured to you agayne. Why seist thou a moote in thy brothers eye / ∧ perceavest not the beame þt; ys yn thyne awne eye. Or why sayest thou to thy brother: suffre me to plucke oute the moote oute of thyne eye / ∧ behold a beame is in thyne awne eye. ypocryte / fyrst cast oute the beame oute of thyne awne eye / and then shalte thou se clearly to plucke oute the moote out of thy brothers eye.

Geve not that which is holy / to dogg&es; / nether cast ye youre pearles before swyne / ^note lest they treade them vnder their fete / and þe; other tourne agayne and all to rent you.

B    ^noteAxe ∧ it shalbe geven you. Seke ∧ ye shall fynd. knocke and it shalbe opened vnto you. For whosoever axeth receaveth / ∧ he þt; seketh fyndeth / and to hym that knocketh / it shalbe opened. Ys there eny man am&obar;ge you which if his sonne axed hym bread / wolde offer him astone? Or if he axed fysshe / wolde he proffer hym a serp&ebar;t? yf ye then which are evyll / cane geve to youre chyldren good gyftes: how moche moore shall youre father which is in

hev&ebar; / geve good thynges to them þt; axe hym?

^noteTherfore whatsoever ye wolde that men shulde do to you / even so do ye to them. This ys the lawe and the Prophettes.

Enter in at the strayte gate: for wyde is þe; gate / and broade is the waye that leadeth to destruccion: ^note and many ther be which goo yn therat. But strayte is the gate / ∧ narowe ys the waye which leadeth vnto lyfe: and feawe there be that fynde it.

C    ^note&cross2; Beware of false Prophetes / which come to you in shepes clothinge / but inwardly they are ravenynge wolves. Ye shall knowe them by their frutes. Do men gaddre grapes of thornes? or figges of bryres? Euen soo every good tree bryngeth forthe good frute. But a corrupte tree / bryngethe forthe evyll frute. A good tree c&abar;not brynge forthe bad frute: nor yet a bad tree can bringe forthe good frute. Every tree that bryngethe not forthe good frute / shalbe hew&ebar; doune / ∧ cast into the fyre. Wherfore by their frutes ye shall knowe th&ebar;.

^noteNot all they that saye vnto me / Master / Master / shall enter in to the kyngdome of heven: but he that dothe my fathers will which ys in heven &cross3;. Many will saye to me in that daye / Master / master / have we not in thy name prophesied? And in thy name have caste oute devyls? And in thy name have done many miracles? And then will I knowlege vnto them / that I never knewe them. ^noteDeparte from me / ye workers of iniquite.

^noteWhosoever heareth of me these sayinges

and doethe the same / I wyll lyken hym vnto a wyse man which bylt hys housse on a rocke: ∧ aboundance of rayne descended / ∧ the fluddes came / ∧ the wyndes blewe and bet vpon that same housse / and it fell not / because it was grounded on the rocke. And whosoever heareth of me these sayinges ∧ doth th&ebar; not / shalbe lykened vnto a folysh man which bilt ^note hys housse ap&obar; the sondes;: ∧ abunda&ubar;ce of rayne descended / ∧ the fluddes came / and þe; wyndes blewe and beet vpon that housse / and it fell and great was the fall of it.

^noteAnd it came to passe / that when Iesus had ended these saynges / the people were astonnyed at hys doctryne. For he taught them as one havynge power / and not as the Scribes.
