He sheweth what is to be done to get life euerlasting: 21. what also for a rich man to be perfect: 28. as also what passing reward they shal haue that doe so in time of persecution. 32. He reuealeth more to his Disciples, touching his Passion. 35. bidding the two ambitious suiters to thinke rather of suffring with him: 41. and teaching vs in the rest of his Disciples, not to be greeued at our Ecclesiastical Superiours, considering they are (as he was himself) to telle for our saluation. 46. Then going out of Iericho, he giueth sight to a blind man.

⁶But from the beginning of the creation God made the male and female.But from the beginning of the creation * God made the male & femal.ab initio autem creaturæ masculum et feminam fecit eos Deus.

⁷For this cause, man shall leave his father and mother; and shall cleave to his wife.For this cause, * man shal leaue his father & mother; and shal cleaue to his wife.Propter hoc relinquet homo patrem suum et matrem, et adhærebit ad uxorem suam :

⁸And they two shall be in one flesh. Therefore now they are not two, but one flesh.And they two shal be in one flesh. Therfore now they are not two, but one flesh.et erunt duo in carne una. Itaque jam non sunt duo, sed una caro.

For the Kingdom of God is for such.Whom when IESVS saw, he tooke it il, and faid to them: Suffer the litle children to come vnto me, and prohibit them not. For the Kingdom of God is for such.Quos cum videret Jesus, indigne tulit, et ait illis : Sinite parvulos venire ad me, et ne prohibueritis eos : talium enim est regnum Dei.

¹⁵Amen I say to you, whosoever receiveth not the Kingdom of God as a little child, shall not enter into it.Amen I say to you, whosoeuer receaueth not the Kingdom of God as a litle child, shal not enter into it.Amen dico vobis : Quisquis non receperit regnum Dei velut parvulus, non intrabit in illud.

²⁴And the Disciples were astonished at his words. But Jesus again answering, said: Children, how hard is it for them that trust in money, to enter into the Kingdom of God!And the Disciples were astonished at his words. But IESVS againe answering, said: Children, how hard is it for them that trust in money, to enter into the Kingdom of God!Discipuli autem obstupescebant in verbis ejus. At Jesus rursus respondens ait illis : Filioli, quam difficile est, confidentes in pecuniis, in regnum Dei introire !

²⁵It is easier for a camel to pass through a needle's eye, than for a rich man to enter into the Kingdom of God.It is easier for a camel to passe through a needels eye, then for a rich man to enter into the Kingdom of God.Facilius est camelum per foramen acus transire, quam divitem intrare in regnum Dei.

Et assumens iterum duodecim, cœpit illis dicere quæ essent ei eventura.
