Behold,
a sower went forth to sow;
And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the wayside, and the fowls
came and devoured them up:
Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth:
and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness of
earth:
And when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because they
had no root, they withered away.
And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up, and choked
them:
But other fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some
a hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold. St Matthew, 13. 3

hath ears to hear, let him hear. St Matthew, 13. 9

the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness
of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful. St Matthew, 13. 22

kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which

it is the greatest among herbs, and becometh a tree, so that
the birds of the air come and lodge in the branches thereof. St Matthew, 13. 31
The
kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchantman, seeking goodly
pearls:
Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold
all that he had, and bought it. St Matthew, 13. 45
