⁹There ys a lad here which hath fyve barly loves and two fisshes: but what is that amonge so many?

¹⁰And Iesus sayde. Make the people sit doune: Ther was moche grasse in the place. And the men sate doune in nombre about five thousande.

¹¹And Iesus toke the breed and gave thankes and gave to the disciples and his disciples to them that were set doune. And lykwyse of the fysshes as moche as they wolde.

¹²When they had eate ynough he sayd vnto his disciples: gadder vp the broke meate that remayneth: that nothinge be loost.

¹³And they gadered it to geder and fylled twelve baskettes with the broken meate of the five barly loves which broken meate remayned vnto the that had eaten.

¹⁴Then the men when they had sene the myracle that Iesus dyd sayde: This is of a trueth the Prophet that shuld come into the worlde.

¹⁵When Iesus perceaved that they wolde come and take him vp to make him kinge he departed agayne into a mountayne him silfe a lone.

¹⁶And when even was come his disciples wet vnto the see

¹⁷and entred into a shyppe and went over the see vnto Capernaum. And anone it was darcke and Iesus was not come to them.

¹⁸And the see arose with a greate winde that blew.

¹⁹And when they had rowe aboute a .xxv. or a xxx. furlonges they sawe Iesus walke on the see and drawe nye vnto the shyp and they were afrayed.

²⁰And he sayde vnto them: It is I be not a frayde.

²²The daye folowynge the people which stode on the other syde of the see sawe that ther was none other shyp theare save that one wher in his disciples were entred and that Iesus went not in with his disciples into the ship: but that his disciples were gone awaye alone.

²³How be it, ther came other shippes from Tiberias nye vnto the place where they ate breed when the Lorde had blessed.

²⁴Then when the people sawe that Iesus was not there nether his disciples they also toke shippinge and came to Caparnaum sekinge for Iesus.
