When even was come / the lord of the vineyard said unto his steward: call the labourers / and give them their hire / beginning at the last / till thou come to the first. And they which were hired about the eleventh hour / came & received every man a penny. Then came the first / supposing that they should receive more: & they like wise received every man a penny. And when they had received it / they murmured against the good man of the house saying: These last have wrought but one hour / & thou hast made them equal unto us which have born the burden & heat of the day.
When even was come / the lorde of the vyneyarde sayde vnto hys steward: call the labourers / and geve them their hyre / beginnyng at ye laste / tyll thou come to ye fyrste. And they whiche were hyred aboute the eleventhe houre / came & receaved every man a peny. Then came ye fyrst / supposyng yt they shuld receave moare: & they like wyse receaved every man a peny. And when they had receaved it / they murmured agaynst the good man of the housse saying: These laste have wrought but one houre / & thou hast made them equall vnto vs which have born ye burthē & heet of the daye.
He answered to one of them saying: friend I do the no wrong: diddest thou not agree with ⟨image 46⟩me for a penny? Take that which is thy duty / and go thy way. I will give unto this last / as much as to thee. Is it not lawful for me to do as me listeth with mine own? Is thine eye evil because I am good? So the last shall be first / and the first shall be last. 1For many are called and few be chosen. ⊢
He answered to one of thē sayinge: frende I do the no wronge: dyddest thou not agre wt ⟨image 46⟩me for a pēny? Take that which is thy duty / and go thy waye. I will geve vnto this last / as moche as to the. Ys it not lawfull for me to do as me listeth with myne awne? Ys thyne eye evyll because I am good? Soo the laste shalbe fyrste / and the fyrste shalbe laste.
