1And it chaunsed that he went into the housse of one of the chefe pharises to eate breed on a saboth daye: and they watched him.

2And beholde ther was a man before him which had the dropsye.

3And Iesus answered and spake vnto the lawears and pharises sayinge: is it laufull to heale on the saboth daye?

4And they helde their peace. And he toke him and healed him and let him goo:

5and answered the sayinge whiche of you shall have an asse or an oxe fallen into a pitt and will not strayght waye pull him out on the Saboth daye?

6And they coulde not answer him agayne to that.

7He put forthe a similitude to the gestes when he marked how they preased to the hyest roumes and sayd vnto them:

8When thou arte bidde to a weddynge of eny man syt not doune in the hyest roume lest a more honorable man then thou be bidden of him

9and he that bade bothe him and the come and saye to the: geve this man roume and thou then beginne with shame to take the lowest roume.

10But rather when thou arte bidden goo and syt in the lowest roume that when he that bade the cometh he maye saye vnto the: frende syt vp hyer. Then shalt thou have worshippe in the presence of them that syt at meate with the.

11For whosoever exalteth him sylfe shalbe brought lowe. And he that hubleth him sylfe shalbe exalted

12Then sayde he also to him that had desyred him to diner: When thou makest a diner or a supper: call not thy frendes nor thy brethren nether thy kinsmen nor yet ryche neghbours: lest they bidde the agayne and a recompence be made the.

13But when thou makest afeast call the poore the maymed the lame and the blynde

14and thou shalt be happy for they cannot recompence the. But thou shalt be recompensed at the resurreccion of the iuste men.

15When one of them that sate at meate also hearde that he sayde vnto him: happy is he that eateth breed in the kyngdome of God.

16Then sayd he to him. A certayne man ordened a greate supper and bade many

17and sent his servaunt at supper tyme to saye to them that wer bidden come: for all thinges are now redy.

18And they all atonce begane to make excuse. The fyrst sayd vnto him: I have bought a ferme and I must nedes goo and se it I praye the have me excused.

19And another sayd: I hove bought fyve yooke of oxen and I goo to prove them I praye the have me excused.

20The thyrde sayd: I have maried a wyfe and therfore I cannot come.

21And the servaunt went and brought his master worde therof. Then was the good man of the housse displeased and sayd to his servaut: Goo out quickly into the stretes and quarters of the cite and bringe in hidder the poore and the maymed and the halt and the blynde.

22And the servaut sayd: lorde it is done as thou commaundedst and yet ther is roume.

23And the lorde sayd to the servaunt: Go out into the hye wayes and hedges and compell them to come in that my housse maye be filled.

24For I saye vnto you that none of those men which were bidde shall tast of my supper.

25Ther went agreate company with him and he turned and sayde vnto them:

26If a man come to me and hate not his father and mother and wyfe and chyldren and brethren and sisters more over and his awne lyfe he cannot be my disciple.

27And whosoever beare not his crosse and come after me cannot be my disciple.

28Which of you disposed to bilde a toure sytteth not doune before and counteth the cost whether he have sufficient to performe it?

29lest after he hath layde the foundacion and is not able to performe it all that beholde it beginne to mocke him

30sayinge: this man beganne to bilde and was not able to make an ende.

31Or what kynge goeth to make batayle agaynst another kinge and sitteth not doune fyrst and casteth in his mynde whether he be able with ten thousande to mete him that cometh agaynst him with .xx thousand.

32Or els whyll ye other is yet a greate waye of he will sende embasseatours and desyre peace.

33So lykewyse none of you that forsaketh not all that he hath can be my disciple.

34Salt is good but yf salt have loste hyr saltnes what shall be seasoned ther with?

35It is nether good for the londe nor yet for the donge hill but men cast it out at the dores. He that hath eares to heare let him heare.
