But where unto shall I liken this generation?1 It is like unto children which sit in the market & call unto their fellows / & say: we have piped unto you / & ye have not danced? We have mourned unto you / & ye have not sorrowed.§C For John came nether eating nor drinking / and they say / he hath the devil. The ⟨p. xvi⟩son of man came eating and drinking / & they say / behold a glutton & drinker of wine / & a friend unto publicans & sinners. 2Nevertheless wisdom is justified of her children.
