26And the King was stroken sad. Because of his othe and for them that sate togeather at table he would not displease her: 27but sending the hangman, commanded that his head should be brought in a platter. 28And he beheaded him in the prison, and brought his head in a platter: and gave it to the damsel, and the damsel gave it to her mother. 29Which his Disciples hearing came, and tooke his body; and they put it in a monument. ✠
30And Lu. 9, 10* the Apostles gathering together unto Jesus, made relation to him of al things that they had done and taught. 31And he said to them: Come apart into the desert place, and rest a litle. For there were that came and went, many: and they had not so much as space to eate. 32And Mt. 14, 13.* going up into the boat, they went into a desert place apart. 33And they saw them going away, and many knew: and they ranne flocking thither on foot from al cities, and prevented them.
34And going forth, Jesus saw a great multitude; and he had compassion on them, because they were as sheepe not having a shepheard, and he began to teach them many things. 35And Mt. 14, 15.
Lu. 9, 12
Jo. 6, 5.* when the day was now farre spent, his Disciples came to him, saying: This is a desert place, and the houre is now past: 36dimisse them, that going out into the next villages and townes, they may buy them selves meats to eate. 37And he answering said: Give ye them to eate. And they said to him: Let us goe and buy bread for two hundred pence: and we wil give them to eate. 38And he saith to them: How many loaves have you? goe and see. And when they knew, they say: Five, and two fishes. 39And he commanded them that they should make al sit downe, by companies upon the greene grasse. 40And they sate downe in rankes by hundreds and fifties. 41And when he had taken the five loaves, and the two fishes: looking up unto Heaven, he blessed, and brake the loaves, and gave to his Disciples to set before them: and the two fishes he devided to al. 42And al did eate, and had their fill. 43And they tooke up the leavings, twelve ful baskets of fragments: and of the fishes. 44And they that did eate, were five thousand men. 45And immediatly he compelled his Disciples to goe up into the boat, that they might goe before him beyond the [1] strait to Bethsaida: whiles him self did dimisse the People.
The Ghospel on Saturday after Ashwenesday.46And Mt. 14, 23.
Jo. 6, 16.* when he had dimissed them, he went into the mountaine to pray. 47And when it was late, the boat was in the middes of the sea, and himself alone on the land. 48And seeing them labouring in rowing (for the wind was against them) and about the fourth watch of the night he commeth to them walking upon the sea, and he would have passed by them. 49But they seeing him walking upon the sea, thought it was a ghost, and cried out. 50For al saw him, and were troubled. And immediatly he talked with them, and said to them: Have confidence, it is I, feare ye not. 51And he went up to them into the ship, and the wind ceased: and they were farre more astonished within them selves: 52for they understood not concerning the loaves; for their hart was blinded.
