encreaced
bodyly

At
the

Joseph
seynge
hir
grete
with
childe
.
and
beholdynge
hir
not
ones
.
but
ofte
sythes
was
sory

and
gretely
dystourbled
made
hir
heuy
chere
.
&
tornyd
a
wey
his
eyen
oft
sythes
fro
her
.
And
as
in
a
●
perplexyte
thought
what
he
myght
best
do
.
For
on
that
one
syde
he
sawe
hir
lyf
so
holy
.
and
no
token
of
synne
in
her
.
neyther
in

ne
in

ne
in

that
he
durst

And
on
that
other
syde
he
knewe
not
how
that
she
myght
conceyue
.
but
by
man
.
wherfore
he
thought
B
that
he
wold
pryuely
leue
hir
.
Sothly
it
may
wel
be
sayde
of
hym
that
is
wryten
in
the
gospel
to
his
praysyng
:
that
is
to
say
that
he
was
a
ryghtwys

that
shewed
wel
thys
dede
of

For
sythen
comynly
auoultry
of
the

to
the
man
occasōn
of
the
moost
shame
:
moost
sorow

&
as
a
maner
of

Neuertheles
he
vertuously
tempered
him self
and
wold
not
accuse
hir
/
ne
auenge
hym self

but
paciently
suffrynge
that
semynge

Thys
is
an

at

For
as
it
is

he
shedde
his
blod

after
the
ryght

his

thorugh
the
compassion

for

is
that

And
also
when
he
was
soughte
amonge
his
frendes
and

/
he
was
not
founden
there
in

tyme
/
The
seconde
is
.
that
he
that

though
he

as

For
thys
maner
befell
to

it

in

he

The
thirde
is
/
that
a

For
oure

ERo

we
shold

For
there
is
noo
thynge
of
his

but
as
he
spake
&

soo
he
helde

pees

rested

withdrewe
hym
vertuosly

wherfore

that

that
in

that
is
to

:
as
it
was
saide
in
the
prohemye
of

at

And
so
we
suppose
that
oure

Jhesus

Jhesu

withdrewe

And
there

but
not
in
the
hyest

moost

place
.
but
in

and
after
in

whan

came

halpe

And
also
perauenture
his
suppossed
fader
Joseph
in
his
crafte
comynge
and
goynge
amonge
men

as
he
knewe
not
men

All
that
knewen
hym
of
the
comyn
peple
that
he
dwel
led
amonge
and
seen
soo
fayre
&
semely
yonge
man
doynge
no
thyng
that
was
in
to
praysyng
or
magnifyeng
of
his
name
wondred
gretely
of
hym
.
Namely
as
the
Gospel
saith
of
hym
whan
he
was
yonge
/
and
of
twelfe
yere
age
/
Jhesus
profyted
in
age
.
in
wysdome
and
in
grace
tofore
god
and
man
that
is
to
saye
as
in
the
syght
&
opynyon
of
men
.
But
now
whenne
he
was
of
more
age
in
to
the
tyme
of
his
thyrty
yere
he
shewed
no
dedes
of
cōmendacōn
outward

wherfore
men
scorned
hym
.
and
helde
hym
as
an
ydeote
/
an
ydel
man
and
a
foole
/
And
so
it
was
hys
wylle
to
be
holde
as
vnworthy
and
abiect
in
to
the
world
for
our
sauacion
as
.
the
prophete
speketh
in
his
persone
thus
.
I
am

repreef
of

and

But
here
maye
we
see
that
he
in
that
abieccyon
as
it
were
not

dyde
a
ful
vertuous
dede
of
worthy
commendynge
/
And
what
was
that
/
Sothely
that
he
made
hym self
foule
and
abiecte
in
the
syght
of
other
&
herof
had
he
none
nede
/
but
we
had
this
nede
/
For
sothely
as
I
trowe
in
all
oure
dedes
there
is
no
thynge
greter
or
harder
to
fulfille
than
is
this
.
wherfore
as
me
thynketh
that

the
hyest

the

maystreth
the

that

/
but
coueyteth
fully
to
be
despysed

holde

For
this
is
more
worthy

more
to

made
hym self

not

wherfor
yf
we

we
may

For
it

But
neuertheles
he
drede
this

And
in

he

And
that
thynge
that
he

now
he
spake
by

that
is

Lerneth

For
of

yongthe
of

I
here
or
rede
but
lityl
more
:
But
now
may
he
no
lenger
be

sythen
he
is
so
openly
shewed
of
the
fader
:
All
these
ben
the
wordes
of

Bernard
in
sentence
confermynge
that
was
said
before

that
our

kepe
parfyte
mekenes

the
whiche
vertue
yet
here

he
shewed
more
growen

it
was
before
by
souerayne
lowenes
openly
shewed
to
his
seruaunt
makynge
hym
worthy

and
hym self
as
vnworthy

And
also
in
a nother
poynte
we
may
see
his
mekenes
here
growen

for
in
to
this
tyme
as
it
is
sayd
he
lyued
lowely
as
in
ydelnesse
&
abieccyon

but
now
he
shewed
hym self
openly
as
a
synful
man
.
For
Johan
preched
to
synful
men
to
doo
penaunce

baptised
them

And
oure

Jhs
came
amonge
them

in

that
was
a
souerayne
poynte
of

in

purposed

Capytulum
xvii
IT
befelle
that
day
twelue
moneth
that
our
lord
Jhesus
was
baptysed
as
it
is
sayd
there
was
made
a
brydale
in
the
countre
of
Galylee
in
a
place
that
was
cleped
the
chane
/
of
the
whyche
brydale
there
is
doubte
whos
brydale
it
was
.
But
we
at
thys
tyme
shall
suppose
a●ter
the
comyn
opynyon
that
it
was
John
euangelyst
as
saint
Jerome
also
telleth
in
the
prologue
of
the
gospel
of
iohn
.
at
the
whyche
brydale
our
lady
Jhus
moder
was
as
she
that
was
the
eldest
and
moste
worthy
of
the
thre
systers
.
And
therfore
she
was
not
bydden
nor
cleped
thyder
as
other
straungers
weren
/
but
she
was
there
in
her
sisters
hous
homely
as
in
her
owen
hous
ordeynyng
&
mynistryng
as
maystres
therof
.
And
that
we
may
vndstande
by
thre
euydences
of
the
processe
of
the
gospel
.
Fyrst
by
that
the
gospel
sayth
fyrst
/
that
the
moder
of
Jhein
was
there
/
&
after
that
Jhesus
&
hys
discyples
weren
cleped
or
bidden
therto
.
And
so
as
we
suppose
it
befell
that
what
tyme
oure
ladyes
sister
Mary
salome
the
wyf
of
zebedee
shapte
to
wedde
her
sone
John
.
she
yede
before
to
oure
lady
to
Nazareth
that
was
fro
the
Chane
aboute
four
myle
.
saieng
that
she
wolde
make
a
brydale
to
her
sone
John
/
And
soo
thenne
oure
lady
wente
wyth
hir
to
ordeine
therfore
certayne
dayes
before
Soo
that
when
other
ghestes
were
bede
/
she
was
there
all
redy
and
homely
before
.
¶
The
Seconde
euydence
is
that
she
knewe
defaute
of
wyne
.
wherfore
it
semeth
that
she
satte
not
at
that
mete
as
other
ghestes
that
were
beden
.
but
that
she
yede
aboute
mynystrynge
as
one
of
them
that
delyuerden
mete
and
drynke
and
other
necessaryes
/
wherfore
she
perceyued

sawe

And
tolde
preuely

therof

for

she
not

she
had
rysen
fro

is
not

also
it
is
not

leue
that
she
that

vertuously
shamfaste

sat
by
her
so
ne
among

wherfore
it
foloweth
that
she
satte
not
as

.
but
mynystred
as
it
is
sayd
before
/
¶
The
thyrde
euydence
herof
is
/
that
she
bad
the
seruauntes
for

ne
/
and
that
they
sholde
do
what
that
he
badde

And
so
it
semeth
that
he
was
ouer

&
that
the
brydale
was
gouerned
by
hyr
/
&
therfor
she
was
besy
that
no
default
were
there
at
.
wherfore
we
may
take
hede
&
vnderstande
the
maner
of
thys
brydale
&
the
processe
of
the
myracle
therat
done
thus

Fyrste

&
not

most
worshypful

For

And
for

mykel
as
he
wold

doo

therfore
he

rather
the

Here

¶
And

But

Gooth

then
at

And
anone

Bereth

Afterward
whan

our

In

Fyrst
in
that
our

This
was
the

on

what
dide
Jhus

his
blessid
company
that

we
finde
not
wryten
expresse
in

For
soth
it
is
that
he
went
not
in

:
ne
apered
openly
to
the

that
daye
/
what
trowe
we
thenne
that
he
dyde
al
that

Me
thinke
it
resonably
to
be
trowed
:
that
he
was
▪
thenne
for
the
moost
part
occupied
in
prayer
for
the
performynge
of

that
he
came
fore
/
and
not
only
for
his

that
trowed
in
him
&
loued
hym
:
but
also
for
his
cruel
enmyes
:
fulfillyng
the
pefeccōn
of

taughte
before

ther
wyth

in

vtterly
cast
ayenst
him

in
to
his

And
soo
skylfully
men
may
suppose
that
in
that
prayer
to
the
fader
specially
he
sayd
the
psalme

dauyd
sayd

how
the
discyples

The
whiche
thrugh
his

deceyued

the
true

precyous

For
Arystotle
techyth
as
kyndely
reason
accordeth
that

the
doctryne

for
asmoche
as
this
doctryne

is
ayenst
the
prynciples

that
is
naturell

therfore
the
mayster

reproued
it

scorned

and
so
he
errith
himself

made
many
other
to

touchyng

bileue

this
holiest

the
whiche
yeuen
more

And
thus
yet

wrought
in
