2 And he wente out for to wasshen his
feet; and lo! a gret fish wente out for
to deuouren hym.
3 Whom dredende Tobie
criede out with a gret vois, seiende,
Lord, he asaileth me.
4 And the aungil
seide to hym, Cach his fin, and dra&yogh; it
to thee. The whiche thing whan he
hadde do, he dro&yogh; it in to the drie, and
it began to quappe befor his feet.
5 Thanne

and his herte and galle and mawe lei vp

necessarie to medicynes.
6 The

-- --
rostide his flesh, and beren with hem
in the weie; the tother thei saltiden, that
shulden suffise to them in the weie, to
the time that thei shulden ful come in to
Ragis, cite of Medis.
7 Thanne Tobie askide
the aungil, and seide to hym, I beseche,
Asarie, brother, that thou sei to
me, what remedie shuln han these
thingus, that of the fish thou hast comaundid
to be kept.
8 And the aungil
answerende seide to hym, A parcel of
his herte if thou putte vp on the colis,
his smoke putteth out al the kinde of
deuelis, outher fro man or fro womman,
so that he come no more nee&yogh; to hem.
9 And the galle is worth to e&yogh;en to ben
enointid, in the whiche were rime, and
thei shul ben hol.
10 And Tobie seide to
hym, Where wilt thou, that wee dwelle?
11 And the aungil answerende seith, Heer
is a man, Raguel bi name, nee&yogh; of thi
linage, and this hath a do&yogh;ter, Sara bi
name; but any other he hath saue hir,
neither male ne femele.
12 To thee is due
al his substaunce; and thee behoueth to
han hir wif.
13 Aske thanne hir of hir
fader; and he shal &yogh;iue to thee hir wif.
14 Thanne answerde Tobie, and seide, I haue

and thei ben deade; but and these thingus
I haue herd, for a deuel slo&yogh; hem.
15 I drede
thanne, lest parauenture and these thingus

my fader and moder, I putte doun the
eelde of hem wyth sorewe to helle.
16 Thanne
aungil Rafael seide to hym, Here me,
and I shal shewe to thee, who ben, to

17 in
hem, that wedloc so taken, that God fro
them and fro ther mynde thei closen
-- --
out, and to ther lustis so thei taken
heede, as an hors and a mule, in the

hem the deuel power.
18 Thou forsothe,

bed place, bi thre da&yogh;es be thou continent
fro hir, and no thing other but to preieeris
thou shalt stonde in with hir.
19 That
ny&yogh;t forsothe the mawe of the fish brent,
the deuel shal be dryuen awei.
20 The secunde
