And when he had spent all: there •rose a great dearth in all that land, •nd he began to lack, and went & •ame to a citizen of the same country, & he sent him to his farm to •epe swine. And he would have fil••d his belly with the cods that […] swine did eat, & no man gave •nto him. Thus see ye into how •reat misery he is fallen for the diffusing of his goods. Behold •ow again his repentant & sorrowful hart: Then he came to him self, […] said: how many hired servants […] my fathers have bread enough? ••d I perish with hunger. I •ill arise, and go to my Father, •nd will say unto him: Father, I ⟨p. 92⟩have sinned against heaven & before thee: and am no more worthy to be called thy son, make me as one of thy hired servants. And he arose and cam to his father. Now mark also the pitiful compassion and tender mercy of the father toward his son. But when he was yet a great way of, his father saw him, and had compassion, & ran, and fell on his neck, & kissed him▪ And the son said unto hym• father I have sinned against heaven & thy in sight, & am no more worthy to be called thy son.
