<​1/​> And he began again to teach by the sea side; & there was gethered unto him a great Multitude, So that he entered into a Ship & Sat in the Sea; & the <​2/​> whole multitude was by the sea on the Land. <​2/​> & <​And​> he taught them many things by Parables. & <​And​> he said unto them by doctrine in his doctrine, Hearken; behold, there went out a Sower to Sow; & it came to pass as he sowed, some fell by the way side, & the fowls of the air came & devoured it up. &<​And​> some fell on stony ground, where it had not much Earth; & immediately it sprang up, <​&​> because it had no depth of Earth but when the Sun was up, it was scorched; <​&​> because it had no root, & it withered away. & <​And​> some fell among thorns, & the thorns grew up & choked it; & it yielded no fruit. & <​And​> other seed fell on good ground, & did yield fruit, that sprang up & increased, & brought forth, some thirty <​fold​>, <​&​> some & sixty, & some a hundred. & <​And​> he said unto them, He that hath ears to hear <​3/​> let him hear. <​3/​> & <​And​> when he was alone they that were about him with the twelve asked of him the Parable <​& <​wi​>th the Deciples​> with the twelve & they that believed in him, <​thy​> <​they​> that were about him with the twelve, asked of him the Parable. & <​And​> he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God; but unto them that are without, all things are done in Parables; that seeing, they may see & not perceive; & hearing, they may hear & not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, <​4​> & their shons <​sins​> should be forgiven them. <​4/​> & <​And​> he said unto them, know ye not this Parable? & <​And​> how then will ye know all Parables? & The sower soweth the word. & <​And​> these are they by the wayside, where the word is sowed; but when they have heard, Satan cometh immediately & taketh away the word that was sowed in their hearts. & <​And​> these are they likewise which <​who​> were sown <​receve the word​> on stony ground; Who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with gladness, & have no root in themselves, & so endure but for a time; <​&​> afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the words sake, immediately they are offended. & <​And​> these are they which <​who​> are sown <​receive the word​> among thorns; such as hear the word, & the cares of this world, & the deceitfulness of riches, & the lusts of other things [p. 14 (second numbering)]
