And when he hath found him / he putteth him on his shoulders with joy: And as soon as he cometh home / he calleth to gather his lovers & neighbours saying unto them: rejoice with §Bme / for I have found my sheep which was lost. I say unto you / that like wise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth / more then over ninety & nine just persons / which need no repentance. Ether what woman having .x. groats / if she loose one / doth not3 light a candle / & sweep the house / & seek diligently / till she find it? And when she hath found it she calleth her lovers & her neighbours saying: Rejoice with me / for I have found the groat which I had lost. Likewise I say unto you / joy is made in y• presence of y• angels of god over one sinner that repenteth. ⊢
