Great⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And he began agayne, to teach by the see syde. And there gathered together vnto him moch people, so greatly that he entred into a ship, and sat in the see, and all the people was by the see syde on the shore. ² And he taught them many thinges by parables, and sayde vnto them in his doctrine? ³ Herken to: beholde, there went out a sower to sowe. ⁴ And it fortuned as he sowed, that some fell by the waye syde, and the fowles of the ayre came, and deuoured it vp: ⁵ Some fell on stony grounde where it had not moch erth: and immediatly sprange vp, because it had not deepth of erth: ⁶ but as sone as the sonne was vp, it caught heat: & because it had not rotynge, it wyddred awaye. ⁷ And some fell amonge thornes, & the thornes grew vp, and choked it, and it gaue no frute. ⁸ And some fel vpon good grounde, and dyd yelde frute that sprong vp, and grewe, and brought forth, some thyrty folde, and some syxtye folde, and some an hundred folde. ⁹ And he sayde vnto them: he that hath eares to heare let him heare. ¹⁰ And when he was alone, they that were aboute hym wyth the twelue asked hym of the parable. ¹¹ And he sayde vnto them. To you is it geuen to knowe the mystery of the kyngdome of God. But vnto them that are with out, all thinges happen by parables: ¹² that when they se, they maye se, and not discerne, and when they heare, they maye heare, and not vnderstande: lest at any tyme they shulde turne, and their synnes shuld be forgeuen them.
