A   And Iesus went out, ∧ departed from the temple: ∧ ^note hys discyples came to him, for to shewe him the byldynges of the temple. Iesus sayde vnto them: Se ye not all these th&ibar;ges? Uerely I saye vnto you ^note ther shall not be here lefte one stone vpon another, that shall not be destroyed.

And as he sat vp&obar; mount Oliuete, hys disciples came vnto him secretly, saying: Tell vs: wh&ebar; shall these thinges be: ∧ what shalbe þe; tok&ebar; of thy c&obar;myng ∧ of the ende of the world? And Iesus answered, and sayd vnto th&ebar;: ^note take hede, þt; no man deceaue you. For many shall come in my name, sayinge: I am Chryst: ∧ shall deceaue many ye shall heare of warres, ∧ tidinges of warres: be not troubled. For all (these thynges) must come to

passe, but the ende is not yet. ^noteNacion shall ryse agaynst nacion, and realme agaynst realme: and ther shalbe pestilence, ∧ h&ubar;ger, and erthquakes in all places. All these are the begynnynges of sorowes.

^noteThen shall they put you to trouble, and shall kyll you: ∧ ye shalbe hated of all naci&obar;s for my names sake. And then shall many be offended, ∧ shall betraye one another, ∧ shall hate one another. And many false prophetes shall aryse, ∧ shall deceaue many. ^noteAnd because iniquite shall haue the vpper hand, þe; loue of many shall abate. ^noteBut he that endureth to the ende, the same shalbe safe. ^noteAnd this Gospell of the kyngdome shalbe preached B    in all the worlde, for a wytnes vnto all nacyons, and then shall the ende come.

^noteWhen ye therfore shall se the abhominacion of desolaci&obar; (that was spok&ebar; of by ^note Daniel þe; prophet) stande in the holy place: whoso readeth it let him vnderstande. Then lett them whych be in Iewry, flye into the mountaynes. And let hym whych is on the house toppe, not come downe to fet eny thinge out of hys house. Nether let him whych is in the felde, returne backe to fetche his clothes. Wo shalbe in those dayes to th&ebar; þt; are &wt; chylde, ∧ to th&ebar; þt; geue sucke. But praye ye that youre flyght be not &lhand; in the winter, nether on the Saboth daye. For then shalbe great tribulaci&obar;s ^note suche as was not sens þe; begynning of the worlde to this tyme, nor shalbe. Ye ∧ except those dayes shulde be shortened, there shulde &rhand; no fleshe be saued: but for the chosens sake, those dayes shalbe shortened.

^noteThen yf eny man saye vnto you: lo here is Chryst, or there: beleue it not. For there shall aryse false Chrystes, and false prophetes ^note and shall shew great miracles, ∧ wondres. In so moch (that yf it were possyble) þe; verie electe shuld be deceaued: behold, I haue tolde you before. Wherfore, yf they saye vnto you: beholde, he is in the desert, go not ye forth: C   behold, he is &ibar; þe; secret places, beleue it not. For as the lyghtnynge c&obar;meth out of the East, &abar;d appeareth into the west: so shall the c&obar;mynge of the sonne of man be.

^noteFor wheresoeuer a deed karkas is, euen thether wyll þe; Egles also be gathered together. Immediatly ^note after the tribulacyons of those dayes, shall þe; sonne be derkened: ∧ þe; moone shall not geue her lyght, and þe; starres shall fall from heau&ebar;, ∧ the powers of heauen shall be moued. And then shall appeare þe; token of the sonne of man in heauen. And then shall all þe; kynredes of the earth mourne, and they shall se ^note þe; sonne of m&abar; c&obar;myng &ibar; þe; cloudes of heauen, wyth power ∧ greate glorie ^note And he shall sende his Angels &wt; the greate voyce of a tr&obar;pett, ∧ they shall gather to gether his chosen, from the foure wyndes: euen from the hyghest partes of heauen, vntyll the endes ther of.

^noteLearne a symilitude of the fygge tree: When hys braunches is yet tender, ∧ the leaues spr&obar;g, ye knowe that sommer is nye. So lykewyse ye, when ye se all these thinges, be ye sure that it is neare, euen at the dores. Uerely I saye vnto you: this generaci&obar; shal not passe, tyll all these thinges be fulfylled ^note Heau&ebar; ∧ earth shall passe, ^note but my wordes shall not passe. But of that daye and houre ^note knoweth no man, no not the angels of heauen, but my father onely.

D    ^noteBut as þe; dayes of Noe were, so shall also the c&obar;mynge of the sonne of man be. For as in the dayes (that went before the floud) they dyd eate and dryncke, mary, and were maryed, euen vntyll the daye that Noe entred into the shyppe, and knewe not tyll the floud came and toke them all awaye: So shall also the commynge of the sonne of man be. Then shall two be in the felde, the one receaued, ∧ þe; other refused ^note two wemen shalbe gryndinge at the myll, the one receaned ∧ the other refused (Two in a bedd: the one shalbe receaued, ∧ the other refused). ^noteWatch therfore, for ye knowe not what houre your lord will come. Of this yet be sure, that yf the good m&abar; of þe; house knew what houre ^note þe; thefe wolde come: he wolde suerly watche, ∧ not suffre hys house to be broken vp. Therfore, be ye also ready, for in soch an houre as ye thynke not: wyll the sonne of man come. Who is a faythfull ∧ wyse seruaunt, whom his Lorde hath made ruler ouer his housholde, to geue them meate &ibar; season. Blessed is that serua&ubar;t wh&obar; hys Lord (wh&ebar; he cometh) shall fynde so doynge: Uerely I saye vnto you, that he shall make hym ruler ouer all hys goodes. But ∧ yf that euyll seruaunt saye in hys herte, my Lorde wyll be long a commyng (and so begynne to smyte his felowes, yee, and to eate ∧ drincke wyth the dr&obar;cken) the same seruauntes Lord shall come in a daye when he loketh not for hym, and in an houre that he is not ware of, ∧ shall hewe him &ibar; peces, ∧ geue hym his porcyon wyth ypocrites: there shalbe wepynge and gnasshynge of teth.
