3 Where whanne he hadde be

and he hadde counsel to turne a&yogh;en bi

4 And Sosipater of Pirri

5 These for

6 For we schippiden aftir the daies of therf

7 And in the first dai of the

8 and he drow

many laumpes weren in the soler, where
we weren gaderyd togidir.
9 And a &yogh;ong

whanne he was fallun in to an

al slepynge he felle doun fro the thridde

10 To whom whanne Poul

11 And he wente vp, and

12 And thei brou&yogh;ten the childe alyue, and

13 And we

14 And whanne he foond vs in

15 And fro thennus we schippiden

we camen to Mylete.
16 And Poul purposide
to schip ouer to Efesi, lest ony tariyng
-- --
were maad to hym in Asie; for he hi&yogh;ede,
if it were possible to hym, that he
schulde be in the dai of Pentecost at
Jerusalem.
17 Fro Mylete he sente to Effesi,
and clepide the grettest men of
birthe of the chirche.
18 And whanne thei
camen to hym, and weren togidir, he
seide to hem, &YOGH;e witen fro the firste dai,
in which Y cam in to Asie, hou with
&yogh;ou bi eche tyme Y was,
19 seruynge to the
Lord with al mekenesse, and mildnesse,
and teeris, and temptaciouns, that felden
to me of aspiyngis of Jewis;
20 hou Y
withdrowe not of profitable thingis to
&yogh;ou, that Y telde not to &yogh;ou, and tau&yogh;te
&yogh;ou opynli, and bi housis;
21 and Y witnesside
to Jewis and to hethene men
penaunce in to God, and feith in to oure
Lord Jhesu Crist.
22 And now lo! Y am
boundun in spirit, and go in to Jerusalem;
and Y knowe not what thingis
schulen come to me in it,
23 but that the
Hooli Goost `bi alle citees witnessith to
me, and seith, that boondis and tribulaciouns
at Jerusalem abiden me.
24 But Y
drede no thing of these, nether Y make
my lijf preciousere than my silf, so that
Y end my cours, and the mynysterie of
the word, which Y resseyuede of the
Lord Jhesu, to witnesse the gospel of
the grace of God.
25 And `now lo! Y
woot, that &yogh;e schulen no more se my
face, alle &yogh;e bi whiche Y passide, prechynge
the kingdom of God.
26 Wherfor Y
witnesse to &yogh;ou this day, that Y am cleen
of the blood of alle men.
27 For Y fley not
awey, that Y telde not to &yogh;ou al the
counsel of God.
28 Take &yogh;e tente to &yogh;ou,
and to al the flocke, in which the Hooli
Goost hath set &yogh;ou bischops, to reule the
chirche of God, which he purchaside
with his blood.
29 Y woot, that aftir my
-- --
departyng, rauyschinge wolues schulen
entre in to &yogh;ou, `and spare not the flok;
30 and men spekinge schrewid thingis schulen
rise of &yogh;ou silf, that thei leden awei
disciplis aftir hem.
31 For which thing
wake &yogh;e, holdinge in mynde that bi thre
&yogh;eer ny&yogh;t and dai Y ceesside not with
teeris monestinge ech of &yogh;ou.
32 And now
Y bitake &yogh;ou to God and to the word of
his grace, that is my&yogh;ti to edifie and &yogh;yue
eritage in alle that ben maad hooli.
33 And
of no man Y coueitide siluer, and gold,
ether cloth, as &yogh;ou silf witen;
34 for to tho
thingis that weren nedeful to me, and to
these that ben with me, these hoondis

35 Alle these thingis Y schewide

to resseyue sike men, and to haue
mynde of the `word of the Lord Jhesu;
for he seide, It is more blesful to &yogh;yue,
than to resseyue.
36 And whanne he hadde
seid these thingis, he knelide, and he
preiede with alle hem.
37 And greet weping
of alle men was maad; and thei
felden on the necke of Poul, and kissiden

38 and sorewiden moost in the word
that he seide, for thei schulen no more

schip.
