Chap. XVIII.

 

To his Disciples he preacheth against ambition the mother of Schisme: 7. foretelling both the authour whosoever he be, and also his folowers, of their woe to come. 10. and shewing on the contrary side, how precious Christian soules are to their Angels, to the Sonne of man, and to his Father. 15. charging us therfore to forgive our brethren, when also we have just cause against them, be it never so often, and to labour their salvation by al meanes possible.

 

Mr. 9, 34.
Lu. 9, 46.The Ghospel on Michelmas day Septemb. 29. And upon his Apparition, May 8.AT that houre the Disciples came to Jesus, saying: ″ Who, thinkest thou, is the greater in the Kingdom of Heaven? ²And Jesus calling unto him a litle child, set him in the middes of them, ³and said: Amen I say to you, unles you be converted, and become as litle children, you shal not enter into the Kingdom of Heaven. ⁴Whosoever therfore shal humble himself as this ^[1] litle child, he is the greater in the Kingdom of Heaven. ⁵And he that shal receave one such litle child in my name, receaveth me. ⁶And Mr. 9, 42.
Lu. 17, 2.* he that shal scandalize one of these litle ones that beleeve in me, it is expedient for him that a milstone be hanged about his neck, and that he be drowned in the depth of the sea.

⁷Wo be to the world for ″ scandals. For it is necessary that scandals do come: but neverthelesse woe to that man by whom the scandal commeth. ⁸And Mt. 5, 30.
Mar. 9, 43.* if thy ″ hand, or thy foot scandalize thee: cut it of, and cast it from thee. It is good for thee to goe into life maimed or lame, rather then having two hands or two feet, to be cast into everlasting fire. ⁹And if thine eye scandalize thee, pluck him out, and cast him from thee: It is good for thee having one eye to enter into life, rather then having two eyes to be cast into the Hel of fire. ¹⁰See that you despise not one of these litle ones: for I say to you, that ″ their Angels in Heaven alwayes do see the face of my Father which is in Heaven. ¹¹For Luc. 19, 10.* the Sonne of man is come to save that which was perished. ¹² Lu. 15, 4.* How thinke you? If a man have an hundred sheep, and one of them shal goe astray; doth he not leave ninetie nine in the mountaines, and goeth to seek that which is strayed? ¹³And if it chance that he find it: Amen I say to you, that he rejoyceth more for that, then for the ninetie nine that went not astray. ¹⁴Even so it is not the wil of your Father, which is in Heaven, that one perish of these litle ones.
