3 And he spac to hem many thingis in parablis, and seide, Lo! he that sowith, yede out to sowe his seed.

4 And while he sowith, summe seedis felden bisidis the weie, and briddis of the eir camen, and eeten hem.

5 But othere seedis felden in to stony places, where thei hadden not myche erthe; and anoon thei sprongen vp, for thei hadden not depnesse of erthe.

6 But whanne the sonne was risun, thei swaliden, and for thei hadden not roote, thei drieden vp.

7 And other seedis felden among thornes; and thornes woxen vp, and strangeleden hem.

8 But othere seedis felden in to good lond, and yauen fruyt; summe an hundrid foold, an othir sixti foold, an othir thritti foold.

9 He that hath eris of heryng, here he.
