1And it fortuned that he came in to the house of one of ye chefe Pharises vpo a Sabbath, to eate bred, & they watched him. 2And beholde, there was a ma before him, which had ye dropsye. 3And Iesus answered, & spake vnto the scrybes and Pharises, & sayde: Is it laufull to heale on the Sabbath? 4But they helde their tonge. And he toke him, and healed him, & let him go, 5and answered, and sayde vnto the: Which of you shal haue an oxe or an asse fallen in to a pytte, and wil not straight waye pull him out on the Sabbath daye? 6And they coude not answere him agayne to that.

The Parable of the Guests

7And he tolde a symilitude vnto ye gestes, wha he marked how they chose the hyest seates, & sayde vnto the:

8Whan thou art bydde of eny man to a weddynge, syt not downe in the hyest rowme, lest a more honorable man the thou be bydde of him, 9and he that bade both the and him, come & saye vnto ye: geue this ma rowme, and thou the begynne with shame to take ye lowest rowme. 10But rather wha thou art bydde, go and syt in ye lowest rowme, that wha he that bade the, cometh, he maye saye vnto the: Frende, syt vp hyer: then shalt thou haue worshipe in the presence of them that syt at the table. 11For who so euer exalteth himself, shalbe brought lowe: and he yt humbleth himself, shalbe exalted.

12He sayde also vnto him that had bydden him: Wha thou makest a dyner or a supper, call not thy frendes, ner thy brethren, ner thy kynsfolkes, ner yi riche neghbours, lest they call the agayne, and recompece be made ye. 13But wha thou makest a feast, call the poore, the crepell, the lame, the blynde, 14then art thou blessed, for they can not recompece ye. But it shalbe recompensed the in the resurreccion of the righteous.

The Parable of the Banquet
(Matthew 22:1–14)

15Whan one of them that sat by at the table herde this, he sayde vnto him: Blessed is he, that eateth bred in ye kyngdome of God.

16But he sayde vnto him: A certayne ma made a greate supper, and called many ther to. 17And in ye houre of the supper he sent his seruaute, to saye vnto the yt were bydde: Come, for now are all thinges ready. 18And they begane all together to excuse the selues one after another: The first saide vnto hi: I haue bought a ferme, and I must nedes go forth and se it, I praye ye haue me excused. 19And ye seconde sayde: I haue bought fyue yoke of oxen, and now I go to proue them, I praye the haue me excused. 20And the thirde sayde: I haue maried a wife, therfore can I not come. 21And the seruaunt came, and brought his lorde worde agayne therof.Then was the good man of the house displeased, and sayde vnto his seruaut: Go out quyckly in to the stretes and quarters of ye cite, and brynge in hither the poore and crepell, and lame and blynde. 22And the seruaut sayde: lorde, it is done as thou hast comaunded, and there is yet more rowme. 23And the lorde sayde vnto the seruaunt: Go out into the hye wayes, and to the hedges, and compell them to come in, that my house maye be fylled. 24But I saye vnto you: that none of these men which were bydden, shal taist of my supper.

The Cost of Discipleship
(Matthew 8:18–22; Luke 9:57–62; John 6:59–66)

25There wente moch people with him, and he turned him aboute and sayde vnto them:

26Yf eny man come vnto me, and hate not his father, mother, wife, childre, brethre, sisters, yee and his owne life also, he can not be my disciple. 27And whosoeuer beareth not his crosse, and foloweth me, can not be my disciple. 28Which of you is it yt wil buylde a tower, and sytteth not downe first and counteth ye cost, whether he haue sufficiet to perfourme, it? 29lest after he hath layed the foundacio, and is not able to perfourme it, all they that se it, begynne to laugh him to scorne, 30& to saye: This man beganne to buylde, and is not able to perfurme it. 31Or what kynge wil go to make battayl agaynst another kynge, and sytteth not downe first, and casteth in his mynde, whether he be able with ten thousande, to mete him that commeth agaynst him with twentye thousande? 32Or els, whyle the other is yet a greate waye of he sendeth embassage, and desyreth peace. 33So likewyse euery one of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, can not be my disciple.

Good Salt
(Matthew 5:13–16; Mark 9:49–50)

34Salt is a good thinge: but yf the salt be vnsauery, what shal they season withall. 35It is nether good vpon the lande, ner in the donge hyll, but shal be cast awaye. He that hath eares to heare, let him heare.
