¹ And ye pharises came togedder vnto him and dyvers of ye scribes which came from Ierusalem.

² And whe they sawe certayne of his disciples eate breed wt comen hondes (that is to saye wt vnwesshen hondes) they coplayned.

³ For the pharises and all the Iewes excepte they washe their hondes ofte eate not observinge the tradicions of the elders.

⁴ And whe they come from the market except they washe they eate not. And many other thinges ther be which they have taken apon them to observe as the wasshinge of cuppes and cruses and of brasen vessels and of tables.

⁵ Then axed him the pharises and sribes why walke not thy disciples accordinge to ye tradicions of the elders but eate breede with vnweshen hondes?

⁷ In vayne they worshippe me teachinge doctryns which are nothinge but ye comaundementes of men.

¹⁶ If eny man have eares to heare let him heare

¹⁷ And whe he came to house awaye fro the people his disciples axed him of the similitude.

¹⁸ And he sayd vnto the: Are ye so without vnderstondinge? Do ye not yet perceave yt whatsoever thinge from wt out entreth into a man it can not defyle him

¹⁹ because it entrith not in to his hert but into ye belly: and goeth out into the draught that porgeth oute all meates.

²⁰ And he sayde: yt defileth a ma which cometh oute of a man.

²¹ For fro wt in even oute of the herte of men proceade evill thoughtes: advantry fornicacion murder

²² theeft coveteousnes wickednes diceyte vnclennes and a wicked eye blasphemy pryde folysshnes:

²³ all these evyll thinges come from with in and defile a man.

²⁴ And from thence he rose and went into ye borders of Tyre and Sidon and entred into an housse and wolde that no man shnld have knowen: But he coulde not be hyd.

²⁵ For a certayne woma whose doughter had a foule sprete hearde of him and came and fell at his fete.

²⁹ And he sayde vnto her: for this sayinge goo thy waye the devyll is gone out of thy doughter.

³⁰ And when she was come home to her housse she founde the devyll departed and her doughter lyinge on the beed.

³¹ And he departed agayne from the coostes of Tyre and Sidon and came vnto the see of Galile thorowe ye middes of the coostos of ye .x. cities.

³² And they brought vnto him one yt was deffe and stambred in his speche and prayde him to laye his honde apon him.

³³ And he toke him asyde from ye people and put his fyngers in his eares and dyd spyt and touched his tounge

³⁴ and loked vp to heven and sygthed and sayde vnto him: ephatha that is to saye be openned.

³⁵ And streyght waye his eares were openned and the stringe of his tounge was loosed and he spake playne.

³⁶ And he comaunded them that they shuld tell no man. But the more he forbad them soo moche the more a greate deale they publesshed it:

³⁷ and were beyonde measure astonyed sayinge: He hath done all thinges well and hath made booth the deffe to heare and the dome to speake.
