Rh from him, and give it him that hath ten talents. For to * every one that hath shal be given, and he shal abound: but from him that hath not, that also which ″ he seemeth to have, shal be taken away from him. And the unprofitable servant cast ye out into the utter darknes. There shal be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

And when the Sonne of man shal come in his majestie, and al the Angels with him, then shal he sit upon the seat of his majestie: and al Nations shal be gathered togeather before him, and he shal ″ separate them one from an other, as the pastour separateth the sheep from the goats: and shal set the sheep at his right hand, but the goats at his left. Then shal the King say to them that shal be at his right hand: ″ Come ye Blessed of my Father, possesse you the Kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world For I was an hungred, and ″ you gave me to eate: I was a thirst, and you gave me to drinke. I was a stranger, and you tooke me in: naked, and you covered me: sick, and you visited me. I was in prison, and you came to me. Then shal the just answer him, saying: Lord, when did we see thee an hungred, and fed thee, a thirst, and gave thee drinke? and when did we see thee a stranger, and tooke thee in? or naked, and covered thee? or when did we see thee sick or in prison, and came to thee? And the King answering, shal say to them: Amen I say to you, as long as you did it to one of these my least brethren, you did it to me. Then he shal say to them also that shal be at his left hand: ″ Get ye away from me you cursed into fire everlasting, which was prepared for the Divel and his Angels. For I was an hungred, and you ″ gave me not to eat; I was a thirst, and you gave me not to drinke. I was a stranger, and you tooke me not in: naked, and you covered me not: sick, and in prison, and you did not visit me. Then they also shal answer him, saying: Lord, when did we see thee an hungred, or a thirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister to thee? Then he shal answer them, saying: Amen I say to you, as long as you did it not to one of these lesser, neither did you it to me. And these shal goe into punishment everlasting: but the just, into life everlasting.✠

These virgins five wise, and five foolish, signifie that in the Church militant there be good and bad: which bad shal be shut out at the later day, although they have lamps (that is faith) as the other, because their lamps are out; that is, their faith is dead without charitie and good works to lighten them.
