Rh bread alone shal man live, but in every word of God. And the Devil brought him into an high mountaine, and shewed him al the Kingdoms of the whole world in a moment of time; and he said to him: To thee wil I give this whole power, and the glorie of them; for to me they are delivered, and to whom I wil, I doe give them. Thou therfore if thou wilt adore before me, they shal al be thine. And answering said to him: It is written, Thou shalt adore the Lord thy God and him only shalt thou  $c$ serve. And he brought him into Hierusalem, and set him upon the pinnacle of the Temple; and he said to him: If thou be the Sonne of God, cast thyself from hence downward. For it is written, that He hath given his Angels charge of thee, that they preserve thee: and that in their hands they shal beare thee up, lest perhaps thou knocke thy foote against a stone. And answering said to him: It is said, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. And al the tentation being ended, the Divel ″ departed from him until a time.

* And returned in the force of the Spirit into Galilee, and the same went forth through the whole countrie of him. xAnd he taught in their Synagogues, and was magnified of al.

* And he came to Nazareth where he was brought up: and he entred according to his custom on the Sabboth day into the synagogue; and he rose up to read. And the booke of Esay the Prophet was delivered unto him. And as he unfolded the booke, he found the place where it was written, The Spirit of the Lord upon me, for which he anointed me, to evangelize unto the poore he sent me, to heale the contrite of hart, to preach to the captives remission, and sight to the blind, to dimisse the bruised unto remission, to preach the acceptable yeare of the Lord, and the day of retribution. And when he had folded the booke, he rendred it to the minister, and sate downe. And the eyes of al in the Synagogue were bent upon him. And he began to say unto them: That this day is fulfilled this scripture in your eares. And al gave testimonie to him; and they marveled in the words of grace that proceeded from his mouth, and they said: Is not this Josephs sonne? And he said to them: Certes you wil say to me this similitude, Physicion, cure thyself: as great things as we have heard ″ done in Capharnaum, doe also here in thy countrie. And he said: Amen I say to you, that no Prophet is accepted in his owne countrie. In truth I say to you, there were many widowes in the dayes of Elias in Israel, when the Heaven was shut three yeares and six moneths, when there was a great famine made in the whole earth: and to none of them was Elias sent, but into Sarepta of Sidon, to a widow woman. * And there were many lepers in Israel under Elisæus the Prophet; and none of them was made cleane but Naaman the Syrian. And al in the Synagogue were filled with anger, hearing these things. And they rose, and cast him out of the citie: and they brought him to the edge of the hil, whereupon their citie was built, that they might throw him downe headlong. But he ″ passing through the middes of them, went his way.✠ Rh
