But when a convenient day was come: Herod on his birthday made a supper to the lords / captains / & chief estate of Galilee. And the daughter of the said Herodias came in & daū sed / and pleased Herod and them that sate at board also. Then the king said unto the maiden: axe of me what thou wilt / & I will give it thee. And he sware unto her / whatsoever thou shalt axe of me / I will give it thee / even unto the one half of my kingdom. And she went forth and said to her mother: what shall I axe? And she said: John Baptists heed. And she cam in straight way with haste unto the king / & axed saying: I will / that thou give me by & by in a charger the heed of John Baptist. And the king was sorry: howbeit for his oaths sake / and for their sakes which sate at supper also / he would not put her beside her purpose. And immediately the king sent the hangman and commanded his heed to be brought in. And he went and beheaded him in the prison / and brought his heed in a charger / & gave it to the ⟨image 71⟩maiden / & the maiden gave it to her mother. And when his disciples heard of it / they came & toke up his body / & put it in a tomb. ⊢
