¶ The .vi. Chapter.
¶ young Tobias is delyuered from the fysshe, by the
Aungell. The Aungell exhorteth Tobias to take Sara
to hys wyfe.
A So Tobias w&ebar;te on hys waye, and
a dogge folowed hym, and þe; fyrst
nyght they abode by the water of
Tygris. Then w&ebar;t he out to wash
his fete, ∧ beholde, there came forth an horrible
fysh to deuoure hym. Of whome Tobias
was afrayed, and cryed with a loude
voyce, sayenge: Lorde, he c&obar;meth vpon me.
And þe; Aungell sayde vnto hym: Take hym
by þe; gyll, and draw him to the. And he dyd
so, and drew him vpon the lande. And the
fysh beganne to leape at his fete.
Then sayde the Aungell vnto him: take
out the boweles of thys fysh, and as for the
herte, the gall ∧ the leuer, kepe them by the.
For these thynges are necessary ∧ good for
medycyne.
B Tobias dyd so, ∧ rosted the fysh,
and they toke him with them in theyr iourney:
þe; resydue they salted, as moch as was
suffycient for them, tyll they came to Rages
a cytie of the Medes. Then Tobias asked
the Aungell, ∧ sayde vnto him: I praye
þe; brother Azaria, tell me, wher to are these
thynges good of þe; fysh þt; thou hast bydden
me kepe?
The Aungell answered hym and sayde:
If thou layest a pece of the hert vpon þe; coales,
the smoke therof dryueth awaye all maner
of euell spretes, whether it be fr&obar; man
or from woman, so that from thence forth
the same shall come nomore vnto th&ebar;. The
gall is good to anoynte or to stryke þe; eyes
wythall, where as there is eny blemysh in
them, so that they shalbe whole.
C And Tobias sayd vnto him: where wylt
thou þt; we remayne? The Aungell answered
∧ sayd: Here is a nye kynsman of thyne,
one Raguell by name, which hath a daughter
called Sara, and hath nether sonne ner
daughter but her. All his good belongeth
vnto the, ∧ thou must mary her, ∧ therfore
desyre her of her father, ∧ he shall geue her þe;
to wyfe. Then answered Tobias ∧ sayde:
As I vnderst&abar;de, she hath bene maryed vnto
seuen husbandes, ∧ they all are deed; and
I haue herde saye, that þe; deuell slewe them.
I am afrayed therfore, lest soch th&ibar;ges happen
vnto me also: which yf it came to passe
(seynge I am the onely sonne of my father
∧ my mother) I shulde brynge th&ebar; in theyr
age with sorowe to theyr graues.
D Then sayde the Aungell Raphael vnto
him: Heare me, ∧ I wyll tell þe; what they be,
of whom the deuell hath power. Namely,
they þt; receaue maryage of soch a fashion,
þt; they shut God out fr&obar; them ∧ from theyr
hert, ∧ geue them selues to theyr awne lust,
euen as it were an horse ∧ Mule, which haue
no vnderstandinge: vpon soch hath þe; deuell
power. But when þu; takest her, ∧ art come
in to the ch&abar;ber, witholde thy selfe from her
thre dayes, and geue thy dilyg&ebar;ce vnto nothynge
but vnto prayer with her.
And in þe; fyrst nyght, roste þe; leuer of the
fysh, and the deuell shalbe dryuen awaye.
The seconde nyght shalt þu; be receaued into
the company of the holy patriarkes. The
thyrde nyght shalt thou opteyne þe; blessyng
of God so that whole chyldren shalbe borne
of you. After the thyrde nyght take þe; mayden
in the feare of God, and more for the desyre
of chyldren, then for eny fleshly lust: þt;
in the sede of Abraham thou mayest optayne
the blessyng in chyldren.
