Chap. XVII.

 

So damnable it is to be author of a Schisme, 3. that we must rather forgive be it never so often. 5. We must he fervent in faith, and humble withal, knowing that we are bound to God, and not he to us. 11. The nine Jewes are ungrateful after that he hath cured their leprosie: but the one Samaritane (the one Catholike Church of the Gentils) far otherwise. 20. The Pharisees asking, when commeth this Kingdom of God (of whose approching they had now heard so much) he teacheth that God must reigne within us: 22. and warneth us after his Passion never to goe out of his Catholike Church, for any new secrete comming of Christ that Heretikes shal pretend, but only to expect his second comming in glorie, 26. preparing our selves unto it, because it shal come upon many unprovided, 31. specially through the persecution of Antichrist a litle before it.

 

Mt. 18, 7.
Mk. 9, 42.AND he said to his Disciples: It is ^[1] impossible that scandal should not come: but woe to him by whom they come. ²It is more profitable for him, if a mil-stone be put about his necke, and he be cast into the sea, than that he scandalize one of these litle ones. ³Looke wel to yourselves, Mt. 18, 21.* If thy brother sinne against thee, rebuke him: and if he doe pennance, forgive him. ⁴And if he sinne against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day be converted unto thee, saying, It repenteth me, forgive him.

⁵And the Apostles said to our Lord: Increase faith in us. ⁶And our Lord said: Mt. 17, 20.* If you had faith like to a mustard-seed, you might say to this mulberie tree, be thou rooted up, and be transplanted into the sea: and it would obey you. ⁷And which of you having a servant plowing or keeping cattle, that wil say to him returning out of the field, Passe quickly, sit downe: ⁸and saith not to him, Make ready supper, and gird thy self, and serve me whiles I eate and drinke, and afterward thou shalt eate and drinke? ⁹Doth he give that servant thankes, for doing the things which he commanded him? ¹⁰I trow not: So you also, when you shal have done al things that are commanded you, say: We are ″ unprofitable servants; we have done that which we ought to doe.

The fourth part of this Ghospel. The comming of Christ into Jewrie, towardes his Passion.
The Ghospel upon the 13. Sunday after Pentecost.¹¹And it came to passe, as he went unto Hierusalem, he passed through the middes of Samaria and Galilee. ¹²And when he entred into a certaine towne, there met him ten men that were lepers, who stoode a farre off; ¹³and they lifted up their voice, saying: Jesus Maister, have mercie on us. ¹⁴Whom as he saw, he said: Goe, Lev. 14, 2.* shew your selves ″ to the Priests. And it came to passe, ″ as they went, they were made cleane. ¹⁵And one of them as he saw that he was made cleane, went backe with a loud voice magnifying God, ¹⁶and he fel on his face before his feet, giving thankes: and this was a Samaritane. ¹⁷And Jesus answering said: Were not ten made cleane? and where are the nine? ¹⁸There was not found that returned, and gave glorie to God, but

1. Not of mere necessitie, for then it were no fault: but presupposing the great wickednes of men, it is impossible but there shal be scandals, and therfore it followeth, woe to him by whom they come.
