Tobie was stirid, seiende, Wenest thou,
whi my sone abit, and whi he is withholden

2 Wenest thou, lest Gabel
be dead, and no man &yogh;elde to hym the
monei?
3 Forsothe he began to be sori,
and Anna, his wif, with hym; and thei
begunne bothe togidyr to wepe, for thi

turned a&yogh;een to hem.
4 Thanne wepte his
modir with vnremediable teris, and seide,
Allas me! my sone, wherto sente wee
thee to pilgrimagen, the li&yogh;t of oure e&yogh;en,
the staf of oure eelde, solace of oure lif,
hope of oure after bringing forth of
childer?
5 Alle thingis togidere in thee oon
hauende, wee shulden not lete thee gon

6 To whom seide Tobie, Be stille,
and wile thou not be disturbid; hol is
oure sone; feithful inow is that man,
with the whiche wee senten hym.
7 She

but eche dai stertende out, beheeld aboute,
and wente aboute alle the weies, bi the

8 But forsothe Raguel
seide to his sone in lawe, Dwel heer,
and I shal senden a messager of helthe
fro thee to Tobie, thi fader.
9 To whom
Tobie seide, I knew, that my fader and

10 And
whan with manye woordis Raguel pre&yogh;ede
Tobie, and he hym bi no resoun
wolde heren, he toc to hym Sara, and

11 seiende, The holi aungil of the
Lord be in &yogh;oure weie, and ful bringe
&yogh;ou sound, and finde &yogh;ee alle thingus ri&yogh;te
aboute &yogh;oure fadris and modris, and see

13 monestende hir to wrshipen hir fader
and moder in lawe, to looue the husbonde,
to reule the meyne, to gouerne
