1 And he began agayne to teache by the seesyde. And there gadered to gedder vnto him moche people so greatly yt he entred into a ship and sate in the see and all the people was by the seeside on the shoore.

2 And he taught them many thynges in similitudes and sayde vnto them in his doctrine:

3 Herken to. Beholde There wet out a sower to sowe.

4 And it fortuned as he sowed that some fell by the waye syde and the fowles of the ayre came and devoured it vp.

5 Some fell on stony grounde where it had not moche erth: and by and by sprange vp because it had not deepth of erth:

6 but as sone as the sunne was vp it caught heet and because it had not rotynge wyddred awaye.

7 And some fell amonge the thornes and the thornes grewe vp and choked it so that it gave no frute.

8 And some fell vpon good grounde and dyd yelde frute that sproge and grewe and brought forthe: some thirty folde some sixtie folde and some an hundred folde.

9 And he sayde vnto them: he that hath eares to heare let him heare.
