1 In those dayes whe ther was a very greate companye and had nothinge to eate Iesus called his disciples to him and sayd vnto the:

2 I have copassion on this people because they have nowe bene with me .iii. dayes and have nothinge to eate:

3 And yf I shuld sende the awaye fastinge to their awne houses they shulde faynt by the waye. For dyvers of the came from farre.

4 And his disciples answered him: where shuld a man have breade here in the wildernes to satisfie these?

5 And he axed them: how many loves have ye? They sayde: seven.

6 And he commaunded the people to syt doune on the grounde. And he toke the .vii. loves gave thankes brake and gave to his disciples to set before them. And they dyd set the before the people.

7 And they had a feawe smale fysshes. And he blessed them and comaunded them also to be set before them.

8 And they ate and were suffysed: And they toke vp yf the broken meate that was lefte .vii. baskettes full.

9 And they yt ate were in nomber aboute fowre thousand. And he sent them awaye.

10 And a none he entred into a ship wt his disciples and came into the parties of Dalmanutha.

11 And the pharises cam forth and begane to dispute with him sekinge of him a signe fro heven and temptinge him.

12 And he sygthed in his sprete and sayde: why doth this generacion seke a signe? Verely I saye vnto you ther shall no signe be geven vnto this generacion.

13 And he lefte the and went into the ship agayne and departed over the water.

14 And they had forgotte to take breed wt the nether had they in the ship with them more then one loofe.

15 And he charged the sayinge. Take hede and beware of ye leven of ye pharises and of ye leve of Herode.

16 And they reasoned amonge the selves sayinge: we have no breed

17 And whe Iesus knewe yt he sayde vnto the: why take ye thought because ye have no bread? perceave ye not yet nether vnderstonde? Have ye youre hertes yet blynded?

18 Have ye eyes and se not? and have ye eares and heare not? Do ye not remember?
