Chapter THe Pharises came and axed hym a question whether it was laufull for a manne to put awaye his wyfe to proue hym And he answered and sayde vnto them Whad dyd Moses byd you do And they saide Moses suffred to write a testimoniall of deuorsement and to put her awaye And Iesus answered sayd vnto them For the hardnes of youre hartes he wrote this precepte vnto you But at the fyrste creation God made them man and woman And for this thing sake shal man leue his father mother byde by his wyfe and they twayne shal be one fleshe So then are they nowe not twayne but one fleshe Therfore what God hath cuppled lette no manne seperate And in the house dis disciples axed him againe of that mater And he saide vnto them Whosoeuer putteth awaye his wife and marieth another breaketh wedlocke to herwarde and yf a woman forsake her husbande and be maryed to another she committeth aduoutry Suffer the chyldren to come vnto me and forbyd them not For of suche is the kyngdome of god Verely I saye vnto you whosoeuer shall not receaue the kyngdome of god as a chylde he shall not enter there in And he toke them vp in his armes and put his handes vpon them and blessed them There is no manne good but one whiche is God Go and sell all that thou hast and geue to the poore and thou shalte haue treasure in heauen and come and folowe me and take vppe the crosse What an harde thynge is it for them that haue ryches to entre into the kyngedome of GOD. Chyldren howe hard is it for them that trust in ryches to enter into the kyngdome of heauen It is easier for a camell to go thorowe the eye of a nedle then for a ryche manne to enter into the kyngdome of god Verely I saye vnto you there is no man that forsaketh house or brethren or sisters or father or mother or wyfe other children or landes for my sake and the gospels whiche shall not receyue and hondred folde nowe in this lyfe houses and brethren and sisters and mothers and chyldren and landes with persecucions and in the world to come eternall lyfe To sitte on my righte hande and on my lefte hande is not myne to geue but to them for whom it is prepared Ye know that they which seme to beare rule among the Gentiles raygne as lordes ouer them and they that be great among them exercise authoritie ouer them So shal it not be among you but whosoeuer of you wyll
