²³And he sware vnto hyr whatsoever thou shalt axe of me I will geve it the even vnto the one halfe of my kyngdome.

²⁵And she cam in streygth waye with haste vnto the kynge and axed sayinge: I will that thou geve me by and by in a charger the heed of Iohn Baptist.

²⁶And the kynge was sory: howbe it for his othes sake and for their sakes which sate at supper also he wolde not put her besyde her purpose.

²⁷And immediatly the kynge sent the hangma and commaunded his heed to be brought in. And he went and beheeded him in the preson,

²⁸and brought his heed in a charger and gave it to the mayden and the mayden gave it to her mother.

²⁹And when his disciples hearde of it they came and toke vp his body and put it in a toumbe.

³⁰And the apostels gaddered them selves to ggedre to Iesus and tolde him all thinges booth what they had done and what they had taught.

³¹And he sayd vnto them: come ye aparte into the wyldernes and rest awhyle. For there were many comers and goers that they had no leasure so moche as to eate.

³²And he went by ship out of the waye into a deserte place.

³³But the people spyed them when they departed: and many knewe him and ranne afote thyther out of all cities and cam thyther before them and came togedder vnto him.

³⁴And Iesus went out and sawe moche people and had compassion on them because they were lyke shepe which had no shepeherde. And he beganne to teache them many thinges.

³⁵And when the daye was nowe farre spet his disciples came vnto him sayinge: this is a desert place and now the daye is farre passed

³⁶let the departe that they maye goo into the countrey rounde about and into the tounes and bye the breed: for they have nothinge to eate.

³⁷He answered and sayde vnto them: geve ye them to eate. And they sayde vnto him: shall we goo and bye ii.C. penyworth of breed and geve them to eate?

³⁸He sayde vnto them: how many loves have ye? Goo and loke. And when they had serched they sayde: v. and .ii. fysshes.

³⁹And he commaunded them to make them all syt doune by companyes apon the grene grasse.

⁴⁰And they sate doune here a rowe and there arowe by houndredes and by fyfties.

⁴¹And he toke the .v. loves and the ii. fysshes and loked vp to heven and blessed and brake the loves and gave them to his disciples to put before the: and the .ii. fysshes he devyded amonge them all.

⁴²And they all dyd eate and were satisfied.

⁴³And they toke vp twelve baskettes full of the gobbettes and of the fysshes.

⁴⁴And they that ate were about fyve thousand men.

⁴⁵And streyght waye he caused his disciples to goo into the shipe and to goo over the water before vnto Bethsaida whyll he sent awaye the people.

⁴⁶And assone as he had sent them away he departed into a moutayne to praye.

⁴⁸and he sawe the troubled in rowynge for the wynde was cotrary vnto them. And aboute the fourth quartre of the nyght he came vnto the walkinge apon the see and wolde have passed by them.

⁴⁹When they sawe him walkinge apon the see they supposed it had bene a sprete and cryed oute:

⁵⁰For they all sawe him and were afrayed. And anon he talked with them and sayde vnto them: be of good chere it is I be not a frayed.

⁵¹And he went vp vnto them into the shippe and the wynde ceased and they were sore amased in them selves beyonde measure and marveyled.

⁵²For they remembred not of the loves because their hertes were blynded.

⁵³And they came over and went into the londe of Genezareth and drue vp into the haven.

⁵⁴And assone as they were come out of the shippe streyght they knewe him
