The epistle.
IN those days it chanced that the son of the wife of the house was sick / & the sickness was so great that there remained1 no breath in him. Then she said to Elijah / what have I to do with the / thou man of god? Diddest thou come to me / that my sin should be kept in mind & to slay my son? And he said unto her / give me thy son / & he took him out of her lap and carried him up into an hie chamber / where he him self dwelt / & laid him on the bed. And he called unto the Lord & said: O Lord my god / hast thou dealt so cruelly with the widow with whom I dwell / as to kill her son? And he measured the child .iii. times / & called unto the Lord & said: Lord my God / let this child's soul come again into him. And the Lord hearkened unto the voice of Elijah / & this child's soul came again unto him / and he revived. And Elijah toke the child and carried him down out of the chamber into the house / & delivered him to his mother. And Elijah said: see / thy son is alive. Then said the woman to Elijah: now I know that thou art a man of God / & that the word of the Lord is truly in thy mouth.
IN those dayes it chaunsed that the sonne of the wyfe of the house was sycke / & the sycknes was so great that there remayned1 no breth in him. Then she sayde to Helias / what have I to do with the / thou mā of god? Dydest thou come to me / that my synne shuld be kepte in mynde & to sle my sonne? And he sayde vnto hir / geve me thy sonne / & he tooke him oute of hir lappe and caried him vp into an hie chamber / where he him selfe dwelt / & layde him on the bed. And he called vnto the Lorde & sayde: O Lorde my god / hast thou dealt so cruelly with the wydowe with whome I dwell / as to kyll hir sonne? And he measured the chyld .iii. tymes / & called vnto the Lorde & sayde: Lorde my God / let this childes soule come agayne into him. And the Lorde herkened vnto the voyce of Helias / & this chyldes soule came agayne vnto him / and he revived. And Helias toke the chylde and caried him doune oute of the chamber into the housse / & delyvered him to his mother. And Helias sayd: se / thy sonne is alyve. Then sayde the woman to Helias: now I knowe that thou arte a man of God / & that the worde of the Lorde is trulye in thy mouth.
