A   And he sayd vnto them: Uerely, I saye vnto you: ^note Ther be some among th&ebar; that stande here, which shall not taste of death, tyll they haue sene the kyngdome of God come with power.

^noteAnd after sixe dayes Iesus taketh Peter and Iames, and Iohn, and leedeth them vp into an hye mountayne out of the waye alone: and he was transfigured before them. And hys raym&ebar;t dyd shyne, and became very whyte, euen as snowe: so whyt as no fuller can make vpon the earth. And ther appeared vnto th&ebar; Elias with Moses. And they talked with Iesu. And Peter answered ∧ sayth to Iesu: Master, here is good beynge for vs: let vs make also .iij. tabernacles, one for the, and one for Moses, and one for Helias. For he wyst not what he sayd: for they were afrayed. And there was a cloude that shadowed them. And a voyce came out of þe; cloude, saying: ^note Thys is my beloued sonne: heare hym. And sodenly whan they had loked rounde aboute, they sawe no man more then Iesus onely with them.

^noteAnd as they came downe fr&obar; the hyll, he charged them, þt; they shuld tell no man those thynges that they had sene, tyll the sonne of man were rysen fr&obar; death agayne. And they kepte that saieng with them, and dema&ubar;ded one of another, what the rysyng from death agayne shulde meane? And they asked hym, sayenge: why then saye the scribes, that Helias must first come? B   He answered and sayd: vnto th&ebar;: ^note Helias verely when he commeth fyrst, restoreth all thynges. And the sonne of m&abar; (as it ^note is writen of him) shall suffre many thynges, ∧ be sett at naught. But I saye vnto you, thut Helias is come, and they haue done vnto hym whatsoeuer they wolde, as it was wryten of hym.

And wh&abar; he came to hys disciples, he sawe moch people about them, ∧ the scribes disputing &wt; them. And streight waye all the people (wh&abar; they behelde hym) were amased, &abar;d ran to hym, ∧ saluted hym. C   And he asked the scribes: what dispute ye am&obar;g th&ebar;? &cross2; ^noteAnd one of the company answered, ∧ sayde: Master, I haue brought vnto þe; my s&obar;ne, whych hath a dome sprete. And whensoeuer he taketh him, he teareth him, and he fometh, and gnassheth with hys teth, and pineth awaye. And I spake to thy disciples that they shuld caste hym out, and they coulde not.

He answereth him, and sayth: O faithles nacion, how l&obar;ge shall I be &wt; you? How l&obar;ge shall I suffre you? Brynge hym vnto me. And they brought h&ibar; vnto hym. And assone as the sprete sawe hym, he tare h&ibar;. And he fell downe on the ground, walowing ∧ foming. And he asketh his father: how l&obar;ge is it ago: sens thys happened hym? And he sayde: of a chylde: ∧ oft tymes it hath cast hym into the fyre, ∧ into the water, to destroye hym. But yf thou canst do eny thing, haue mercy on vs and helpe vs. Iesus sayd vnto hym: yf thou couldest beleue ^note all thynges are possyble to hym that beleueth. And streyght waye the father of the chyld cried with teares, saieng, Lord, I beleue, helpe thou myne vnbelefe.

D   When Iesus sawe þt; the people came runnyng together vnto him, he rebuked þe; foule sprete, saying vnto hym: Thou d&obar;me ∧ deeff sprete, I charge the come out of him, and entre nomore into him. And the sprete (wh&abar; he had cried, ∧ rent hym sore) came out of hym, and he was as one that had bene dead, in so moch that many sayd: he is deed. But Iesus caught hys hand, and lyft him vp: and he rose. And when he was come into the house, ^note his disciples asked hym secretly: why coulde not we cast hym oute? And he sayde vnto them: this kynde can come forth by nothing: but by prayer and fastynge. &cross3;

E   &cross2; And they departed thens, ∧ toke theyr iorney thorow Galile, and he wold not, that eny man shuld knowe it. For he taught hys disciples, and sayd vnto them: ^note the sonne of man shalbe deliuered into the handes of m&ebar;, and they shall kyll hym: and after that he is kylled, he shall aryse agayne the thyrd daye. But they wist not what he sayde, and were afrayed to aske him. And he came to Caperna&ubar;. And wh&ebar; he was come into þe; house, he asked th&ebar;: what was it þt; ye disputed among yourselues by þe; waye? And they helde their peace: for by the waye they had reasoned among them selues, who shuld be the chefest. And when he was set downe, he called the twelue to hym, and sayd vnto th&ebar;: yf eny m&abar;

desyre to be fyrst, the same shalbe last of all, and seruaunt to all. ^noteAnd he toke a chylde, and set hym in the myddes of th&ebar;: ∧ when he had taken hym in hys armes, he sayde vnto them: whosoeuer receaueth eny soche a childe in my name, receaueth me. And whosoeuer receaueth me, receaueth not me, but hym that sent me. &cross3;

F   Iohn answered hym, sayinge: &cross2; Master, we sawe one cast out deuyls in thy name, ∧ he foloweth not vs: &abar;d we forbade hym, because he foloweth vs not. But Iesus sayde: forbyd him not. For ^note ther is no man whych (yf he do a myracle in my name) can lyghtely speake euill of me. For he þt; is not agaynst vs, is on oure parte. ^noteWhosoeuer shall in my name geue you a cuppe of water to drincke, because ye belonge to Chryste, verely I saye vnto you: he shall not loose hys reward. ^noteAnd whosoeuer shall offende one of these lytel&obar;s, that beleue in me, it were better for hym, yf a mylstone were hanged aboute his necke, and he were cast into the see. ^noteWherfore &lhand; yf thy hande hynder the, cut it of. It is beter for the, G   to entre into lyfe maymed, then (hauynge two handes) to go into hell, into fyre that neuer shalbe quenched, where ^note theyr worme dyeth not, and the fyre goeth not out. And yf thy fote be a hyndera&ubar;ce vnto þe;, cut it of. It is better for þe; to go halt into lyfe, then (hauynge two fete) to be cast into hell, into fyre that neuer shalbe quenched: where theyr worme dyeth not, and the fyre goeth not out. ^noteAnd yf thyne eye hinder the plucke it out. It is better for the to go into the kyngedome of God wyth one eye, then (hauynge two eyes) to be cast into hell fyre: where theyr worme dyeth not, and the fyre goeth not out. &cross3;

&rhand; Euery man shalbe salted wyth fyre. ^noteAnd euery sacrifyce shalbe seasoned with salt. ^noteSalt is good. But yf the salt be vnsauery, what shall ye season ther wyth? haue salt in youre selues: and haue peace amonge youre selues, one wyth another.
