¶ The .x. Chapter.
¶ Tobias ∧ his wyfe are sadde for the taryaunce of their
sonne. Raguell sendeth agayne Tobias wyth his wyfe.
A Now whyle yonge Tobias made
longe taryeng, by reason of þe; mariage,
hys father was full of care
and heuynes, and thought: what
shuld be the cause, that my sonne taryeth so
long? Or why shuld he be kepte so long there?
Peraduenture Gabelus is deed, and no
man wyl geue hym the money. Thus beg&abar;ne
he to be very sorowfull, he and Anna his
wyfe with hym, and beganne to wepe both
together, because theyr sonne was not come
agayne vnto them at the daye appoynted.
As for hys mother, she wepte wyth discomfortable
teares, &abar;d sayd: Wo is me, my sonne:
Oh what ayled vs to sende the awaye in
B
to a stra&ubar;ge co&ubar;tre, þu; light of our eyes, thou
staff of oure age, thou comforte of oure lyfe,
thou hope of our generacion? Seyng all the
thynges þt; we haue are only in the, we shuld
not haue sent the awaye from vs.
Then Tobias comforted her, and sayde:
holde thy tonge, and be not discomforted,
our sonne is whole and so&ubar;de: the man that
we sent hym wythall, is faythfull ynough.
Neuerthelesse, she might in no wyse be comforted:
but daylye went out, loked aboute,
and went about all the stretes, wherby she
thought he shulde come agayne: that (yf it
were possible) she myght se hym commynge
a farre of.
C But Raguell sayde vnto hys sonne in
lawe: O tary here, and I shall sende a messaunger
vnto thy father Tobias, to tel him
that thou art in good health. Tobias saide
vnto him: I am sure, that my father &abar;d my
mother counte euery daye, and that theyr
hertes are sory.
So when Raguel prayed Tobias with
many wordes, and wolde in no wyse heare
hym, he delyuered Sara vnto hym, and the
halfe part of all his good: in seruauntes and
handmaydens, in shepe, in Camels, and in
kyne and moch money, ∧ so sent him awaye
from hym with peace and ioye, and sayde:
The holy aungell of the Lorde be with you
D
in youre iourney, and brynge you forth safe
and sounde, that ye maye fynde all thinges
in good case wyth your elders, ∧ that myne
eyes maye se your chyldren afore I dye. So
the elders embraced theyr daugther, kyssed
her, &abar;d let her go, exhortinge her to honoure
her father and mother in lawe, to loue her
husbande, to rule well her housholde, to kepe
her house in good ordre, and to shew her
selfe fautelesse.
