¹And aftir these thingis the Lord Jhesu ordeynede also othir seuenti and tweyn, and sente hem bi tweyn and tweyn bifor his face in to euery citee and place, whidir he was to come.

²And he seide to hem, There is myche ripe corn, and fewe werke men; therfor preie ye the lord of the ripe corn, that he sende werke men in to his ripe corn.

³Go ye, lo! Y sende you as lambren among wolues.

⁴Therfor nyle ye bere a sachel, nethir scrippe, nethir schoon, and greete ye no man bi the weie.

⁵In to what hous that ye entren, first seie ye, Pees to this hous.

⁶And if a sone of pees be there, youre pees schal reste on hym; but if noon, it schal turne ayen to you.

⁷And dwelle ye in the same hous, etynge and drynkynge tho thingis that ben at hem; for a werk man is worthi his hire. Nyle ye passe from hous in to hous.

⁸And in to what euer citee ye entren, and thei resseyuen you, ete ye tho thingis that ben set to you;

⁹and heele ye the sijke men that ben in that citee. And seie ye to hem, The kyngdom of God schal neiye in to you.

¹⁰In to what citee ye entren, and thei resseyuen you not, go ye out in to the streetis of it,

¹¹and seie ye, We wipen of ayens you the poudir that cleued to vs of youre citee; netheles wite ye this thing, that the rewme of God schal come nyy.

¹²Y seie to you, that to Sodom it schal be esiere than to that citee in that dai.

¹³Wo to thee, Corosayn; wo to thee, Bethsaida; for if in Tyre and Sidon the vertues hadden be don, whiche han be don in you, sum tyme thei wolden haue sete in heyre and asches, and haue don penaunce.

¹⁴Netheles to Tire and Sidon it schal be esiere in the doom than to you.

¹⁵And thou, Cafarnaum, art enhaunsid `til to heuene; thou schalt be drenchid `til in to helle.

¹⁶He that herith you, herith me; and he that dispisith you, dispisith me; and he that dispisith me, dispisith hym that sente me.

¹⁷And the two and seuenti disciplis turneden ayen with ioye, and seiden, Lord, also deuelis ben suget to vs in thi name.

¹⁸And he seide to hem, Y saiy Sathnas fallynge doun fro heuene, as leit.

¹⁹And lo! Y haue youun to you power to trede on serpentis, and on scorpyouns, and on al the vertu of the enemy, and nothing schal anoye you.

²⁰Netheles nyle ye ioye on this thing, that spiritis ben suget to you; but ioye ye, that youre names ben writun in heuenes.

²¹In thilk our he gladide in the Hooli Goost, and seide, Y knouleche to thee, fadir, Lord of heuene and of erthe, for thou hast hid these thingis fro wise men and prudent, and hast schewid hem to smale children. Yhe, fadir, for so it pleside bifor thee.
