they wayted for him And beholde there came a man named Iairus and he was a ruler of the synagoge and fell at Iesus fete besought him that he wolde come in to his house For he had but one doughter vpon

woman sawe that she was not hyd she came trēblynge and fell downe before him and tolde him before all the people for what cause she had touched him how she was healed immediatly And he sayde vnto her Doughter be of good comforte thy faith hath made the whole go thy waye in peace Whyle he yet spake there came one frō y e ruler of y e synagoges house and sayde vnto him Thy doughter is deed disease not the master Whan Iesus herde that he answered him and sayde Feare not beleue onely and she shal be made whole But whan he came in to the house he suffred no man to go in saue Peter and Iames and Ihō and the father and mother of the mayden They wepte all and sorowed for her But he sayde Wepe not for she is not deed but * slepeth And they laughed hī to scorne knowynge well that she was deed But he thrust them all out and toke her by the hande and cryed and sayde Maydē aryse And hir sprete came agayne she arose straight waye And he cōmaunded to geue her meate And hir elders were astonnyed But he charged them that they shulde tell no man what was done The IX Chapter ANd he called the twolue together and gaue them power and auctorite ouer all deuels and that they might heale diseases And he

into what house so euer ye entre there abyde tyll ye go thence And who so euer receaue you not departe out of the same cite and shake of the dust from youre fete for a wytnesse ouer them And they departed and wente thorow the townes preachinge y e Gospell healynge euery where Herode the Tetrarcha herde of all that was done by him And he toke care for so moch as it was sayde of some Ihō is rysen agayne from the deed of some Elias hath appeared of some One of the olde prophetes is rysen agayne And Herode sayde Ihō haue I beheaded who is this then of whō I heare soch thinges And he desyred to se him And the Apostles came agayne and tolde him how greate thinges they had done And he toke them to him and wente asyde into a solytary place by the cite called Bethsaida Whan the people knew of it they folowed him And he receaued them and spake vnto them of the kyngdome of God and healed soch as hade nede therof But the daye beganne to go downe Then came the twolue to him and sayde vnto him let the people departe frō the that they maye go in to the townes rounde aboute and in to y e vyllagies where they maye fynde lodgynge meate for we are here in y e wyldernesse But he sayde vnto them Geue ye them to eate They sayde We haue nomore but fyue loaues and two fyszhes Excepte we shulde go bye meate for so moch people for there were vpon a fyue thousande men But he sayde vnto

them brake them and gaue them to the disciples to set thē before the people And they ate and were all satisfied And there were taken vp of that remayned to them twolue baskettes full of broken meate And it fortuned whan he was alone and at his prayer and his disciples with him he axed them and sayde Whom saye the people that I am They answered and sayde They saye thou art Ihon the baptist Some that thou art Elias Some that one of the olde prophetes is rysen agayne But he sayde vnto them Whom saye ye that I am Then answered Peter and sayde Thou art the Christ of God And he charged them strately and commaunded them that they shulde tell this vnto no mā and sayde For the sonne of man must suffre many thinges and be cast out of the Elders and of y e hye prestes and scrybes and be put to death and ryse agayne the thirde daye Then sayde he vnto them all Yf eny mā wil folowe me let hī denie himself take vp his crosse daylie folowe me For who so euer wil saue his life shal lose it But

here which shall not taist of death tyll they se the kyngdome of God And it fortuned that aboute an eight dayes after these wordes he toke vnto him Peter Ihon and Iames and wente vp in to amoūt for to praye And as he prayed the shappe of his countenaunce was chaunged of another fashion and his garment was whyte and shyned and beholde two men talked with him Which were Moses and Elias that appeared gloriously and spake of his departynge which he shulde fulfill at Ierusalem As for Peter and them that were with him they were full of slepe But whan they awoke they saw his glory and the two men stondynge with him And it chaunsed whan they departed frō him Peter sayde vnto Iesus Master here is good beynge for vs. Let vs make thre tabernacles one for the one for Moses and one for Elias and wyst not what he sayde But whyle he thus spake there came a cloude and ouershadowed them And they were afrayed whan the cloude couered them And out of the cloude there came a voyce which sayde This is
