But by and by among the Gentils, in a woman he findeth wonderful faith, upon her therfore he bestoweth the crumme that she asked, 31. returning (because the time of the Gentils was not yet come) to the Jewes with the lofe: 32. where he sheweth his compassion towards mankind so deafe & dumme, 36. and of the People is highly magnified.

ND there assemble together unto him the Pharisees and certaine of the Scribes, comming from Hierusalem. And when they had seen certaine of his disciples eate bread with ″ common hands, that is, not washed, they blamed them. For the Pharisees, and al the Jewes, unles they often wash their hands, eate not, holding the tradition of the Ancients: And from the market, unles they be washed, they eate not: and many other things there be that were delivered unto them to observe, the washings of cuppes and cruses, and of brasen vessels & beds. And the Pharisees and Scribes asked him: Why doe not thy Disciples walke according to the tradition of the Ancients, but they eate bread with common hands? But he answering, said to them: Wel did Esay Prophecie of your Hypocrites, as it is written: This People honoureth me with their lips, but their hart is farre from me. And in vaine doe they worship me, teaching doctrines ″ precepts of men. For leaving the commandement of God, you hold the traditions of men, the washings of cruses and cuppes: & many other things you doe like to these.

And calling againe the multitude unto him, he said to them: Heare me al you, and understand. ″ Nothing is without a man entring into him, that can defile him. But the things that proceed from a man those are they that make a man common. If any man have eares to heare, let him heare. And when he was entred into the house from the multitude, his Disciples asked him the parable. And he saith to them: So are you also unskilful? Understand you not that every thing from without, entring into a man, can not make him common: because it entreth not into his hart, but goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the privy, purging al the meates? But he said that the things which come forth from a man, they make a man common. For from within out of the hart of men proceed evil cogitations, advouteries, fornications, murders, thefts, avarices, wickednesse, guile, impudicities, an evil eye, blasphemie, pride, foolishnes. Al these evils proceed from within, and make a man common.

And * rising from thence he went into the coastes of Tyre and Sidon: and entring into a house, he would that no man should know, and he could not be hid. For a woman immediatly as she heard of him, Rh
