The kingdome of heve is lyke vnto a certayne kynge which maryed his sonne
3
and sent forth his servantes to call them that were byd to the weddinge and they wolde not come.
4
Ageyne he sent forth other servauntes sayinge: Tell them which are bydden: beholde I have prepared my dynner myne oxen and my fatlinges are kylled and all thinges are redy come vnto the mariage.
5
But they made light of it and went their wayes: one to his ferme place another about his marchaundise
6
the remnaunt toke his seruantes and intreated them vngodly and slewe them.
7
When the kinge hearde that he was wroth and send forth his warryers and distroyed those murtherers and brent vp their cyte.
8
Then sayde he to his servauutes: the weddinge was prepared. But they which were bydden were not worthy.
