Matthew(i)
2 The kyngdome of heauen is like vnto a certayne kynge, whiche maryed hys sonne,
3 and sent forth hys seruauntes to call them that were byd to the wedding, & they woulde not come.
4 Agayne he sent forth other seruauntes saynge. Tell them which are bydden: beholde I haue prepared my dyner, myne oxen and my fatlynges are kylled, and all thinges are redy, come vnto the mariage.
5 But they made lyght of it, and went theyr wayes: one to hys ferme place, an other about hys marchaundyse,
6 the remnaunt toke hys seruauntes and intreated them vngodly and slewe them.
7 When the kynge hearde that, he was wrothe and sente forthe hys warryers and destroyed those murtherers and brent vp theyr citie.
8 Then sayde he to hys seruauntes: the wedding was prepared. But they which were bidden: were not worthye.
9 Go ye therfore out into the hye waies, & as many as ye finde byd them to the mariage.
10 The seruauntes went out into the hye wayes, and gaddered together as many as they could fynde. Both good & bad, and the weddynge was furnyshed with gestes.
