Matthew 13:4-14

4 And as he sowed some fell by ye wayessyde and the fowlles came and devoured it vp.
5 Some fell apo stony groude where it had not moche erth and a none it sproge vp because it had no depth of erth:
6 and when ye sunne was vp it cauht heet and for lake of rotynge wyddred awaye.
7 Some fell amoge thornes and the thornes sproge vp and chooked it.
8 Parte fell in good groud and brought forth good frute: some an hudred fold some sixtie fold some thyrty folde.
9 Whosoever hath eares to heare let him heare.
10 And the disciples came and sayde to him: Why speakest thou to the in parables?
11 He answered and sayde vnto them: it is geve vnto you to knowe ye secretes of the kyngdome of heve but to the it is not geve.
12 For whosoever hath to him shall be geven: and he shall have aboundance. But whosoever hath not: fro hym shalbe takyn awaye even that he hath.
13 Therfore speake I to them in similitudes: for though they se they se not: and hearinge they heare not: nether vnderstonde.
14 And in the is fulfilled ye Prophesie of Esayas which prophesie sayth: with the eares ye shall heare and shall not vnderstonde and with the eyes ye shall se and shall not perceave.
