She sayde: Thy handmayden hath nothinge in the house but a pitcher wt oyle. ³ He sayde: Go yi waye, borowe without of all thy neghboures emptye vessels, & that not a fewe, ⁴ and go in, and shut ye dore behynde the with thy sonnes, and poure of it in to all ye vessels: & whan thou hast fylled them, delyuer them forth. ⁵ She wente, and shut the dore vnto her with hir sonnes, which broughte her the vessels, and so she poured in.

¹ And there arose a greate complaynte of ye people, & of their wyues against their brethren the Iewes. ² And there were some yt sayde: oure sonnes and doughters are to many, let vs take corne for the, & eate, that we maye lyue. ³ Some saide: Let vs set or londes, vynyardes & houses to pledge, & take vp corne in the derth. ⁴ But some saide: Let vs borowe money of the kinge vpo vsury for oure londes and vynyardes. ⁵ Now are oure brethrens bodies as oure awne bodies, and their children as oure children: els shulde we subdue oure sonnes and doughters vnto bondage, and some of oure doughters are subdued allready, and no strength is there in oure handes, and other men shal haue oure londes and vynyardes.

¹⁶ When the poore desyred enythinge at me, haue I denyed it them?
