The sower soweth the word. And they that ⟨image 67⟩are by the ways side / where the word is sown / are they to whom as soon as they have heard it / Satan cometh immediately / & taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts. And likewise they that are sown on the stony ground / are they: which when they have hard the word / at once receive it with gladness / yet have no roots in them selves / & so endure but a time: & anon as trouble & persecution ariseth for the words sake / they fall immediately. And they that are sown among the thorns / are such as hear the word: and the cares of this world & the deceitfulness of riches & the lusts of other things / enter in & chock the word / & it is made unfruitful. And those that were sown in good ground / are they that hear the word and receive it / and bring forth fruit / some thirty fold / some sixty fold / some an hundred fold.
The sower soweth ye worde. And they that ⟨image 67⟩are by the wayes syde / where the worde is sowen / are they to whom assone as they have herde it / Sathā cometh immediatly / & takith awaye the worde that was sowē in their hertes. And likewise they that are sowen on the stonye groūde / are they: which when they have harde the worde / at once receave it wt gladnes / yet have no rotes in them selves / & so endure but a tyme: & anone as trouble & persecucion aryseth for ye wordes sake / they fall immediatly. And they that are sowē amōge the thornes / are soche as heare ye worde: and ye carꝭ of this worlde & ye disseytfulnes of ryches & the lustes of other thingꝭ / entre in & choocke ye worde / & it is made vnfrutfull. And those that weare sowē in good grounde / are they that heare the worde and receave it / and bringe forth frute / some thirty folde / some sixty folde / some an hundred folde.
1And he said unto them: is the candle lighted / to be put under a bushel / or under the table / & not rather to be put on a candlestick? For there is nothing so privy / that shall not be opened: nether so secret / but that it shall come abroad. If any man have ears to hear / let him hear.
