1 Then ye kyngdome of heven shalbe lykened vnto .x. virgins which toke their lampes and wet to mete the brydgrome:

2 fyve of them were folysshe and fyve were wyse.

3 The folysshe toke their lampes but toke none oyle wt the.

4 But ye wyse tooke oyle wt the in their vesselles wt their lampes also.

5 Whill the brydgrome taryed all slombred and slepte.

6 And even at mydnyght there was a crye made: beholde the brydgrome cometh goo out against him.

7 Then all those virgins arose and prepared their lampes.

8 And ye folysshe sayde to ye wyse: geve vs of youre oyle for our lampes goo out?

9 but ye wyse answered sayinge. Not so lest ther be not ynough for vs and you: but goo rather to them yt sell and by for youre selves.

10 And whill they went to bye ye brydgrome came: and they yt were redy went in with him to ye weddinge and the gate was shett vp:

11 Afterwardes came also ye other virgins sayinge: master master open to vs.

12 But he answered and sayde: verely I saye vnto you: I knowe not you.

13 Watche therefore: for ye knowe nether the daye nor yet the houre when the sonne of man shall come.

14 Lykwyse as a certeyne ma redy to take his iorney to a straunge coutre called his servautes and delivered to them his gooddes.

15 And vnto one he gave .v. talentes to another .ii. and to another one: to every man after his abilite and streyght waye departed.
