To shew how through Gods grace the Jewes shal be overrunne of the Gentils, although they beginne after, he bringeth a parable of men working sooner and later in the vinyard, but the later rewarded in the end even as the first. 17. He revealeth more to his Disciples touching his passion: 20. Bidding the ambitious two suiters to thinke rather of suffering with him: 24 And teaching us (in the rest of his Disciples) not to be greeved at our Ecclesiastical Superiors, considering they are (as he was himself) to toile for our Salvation. 29. Then going out of Jericho, he giveth sight unto two blind.

 

The Ghospel upon the Sunday of Septuagesme.THE Kingdom of Heaven is like to a man that is an Housholder which went forth early ″ in the morning to hire workemen into his vineyard. ²And having made covenant with the workemen for a penie a day, he sent them into his vinyard. ³And going forth about the third houre, he saw other standing in the market place idle, ⁴and he said to them: Goe you also into the vineyard: and that which shal be just, I wil give you. ⁵And they went their way. And againe he went forth about the sixt & the ninth houre: and did likewise. ⁶But about the eleventh houre he went forth and found other standing, & he saith to them: What stand you here al the day idle? ⁷They say to him: Because no man hath hired vs. He saith to them: Goe you also into the vineyard.

⁸And when evening was come, the Lord of the vineyard saith to his Bailife: Cal the workmen, and pay them their hire, beginning from the last even to the first. ⁹Therfore when they were come that came about the eleventh houre, they receaved every one ″ a penie. ¹⁰But when the first also came, they thought that they should receave more: and they also receaved everie one a penie. ¹¹And receaving it they ^[1] murmured against the Good-man of the house, ¹²saying: These last have continued one houre: and thou hast made them equal to us that have borne the burden of the day and the heats. ¹³But he answering said to one of them: Freind, I do thee no wrong: didst thou not covenant with me for a penie? ¹⁴Take that is thine, and goe: I wil also give to this last even as to thee also. ¹⁵Or, is it not lawful for me to doe that I wil? is thine eye naught, because I am good? ¹⁶So shal the last be first, and the first, last. For many be called, but ″ few elect. ✠
