¹¹As they hearde these thinges he added ther to a similitude be cause he was nye to Hierusalem and because also they thought that the kyngdome of God shuld shortely appere.

¹²He sayde therfore: a certayne noble man wet into a farre countre to receave him a kyngdome and then to come agayne.

¹³And he called his ten servauntes and delyvered them ten pounde sayinge vnto them: by and sell till I come.
