Cvm ergo natus esset IESVS in Bethleem Iudæ, in diebus Herodis regis, ecce Magi ab oriente uenerunt Hierosolimam, dicentes: Vbi est qui natus est rex Iudæorum? uidimus enim stellam eius in Oriente, et uenimus adorare eum. Audiens autem Herodes rex, turbatus est, et omnis Hierosolyma cum illo. Et congregans omnes principes sacerdotum et scribas populi scicitabatur ab eis ubi Christus nasceretur. At illi dixerunt ei: In Bethleem Iudæ: sic enim scriptum est per prophetā: Et tu Bethleem terra Iuda, nequaquam minima es in prīcipibus Iuda ex te enim exiet dux qui regat populū meum Israel. MARCVS CAPVT. II. Et iterum intrauit Capernaum post dies, et auditum est quod in domo esset, et confestim conuenerunt multi, ita ut non caperent, neq; ad ianuam, & loquebatur eis uerbum. Et uenerunt ad eum ferentes paralyticum, qui a quatuor portabatur. Et cum non possent offerre eu illi præ turba, nudauerunt tectū ubi erat, et patefacientes submiserunt grahatum, in quo paralyticus iacebat. Cum autem uidisset IESVS fidem illorum, ait paralytico: Fili, dimittuntur tibi peccata tua. LVCAS. CAPVT. II. Factum est aute in diebus illis, exiit edictum a Cæsare Augusto, ut describeretur uniuersus orbis. Hæc descriptio prima facta est a præside Syriæ Cyrino. Et ibant omnes ut profiteretur, singuli in suam ciuitatem. Ascendit autem et Ioseph a Galilæa de ciuitate Nazareth in Iudæam ciuitatem Dauid, quæ uocatur Bethleem, eo quod esset de domo et familia Dauid, ut profiteretur cum Maria desponsata sibi uxore prægnante. Factum est autē cum esset ibi, impleti sunt dies ut pareret. Et peperit filium suum primogenitum, et pannis eum inuoluit, et reclinauit eum in præsepio: quia non erat eis locus in diuersorio. IOANNES. CAPVT. II. Et die tertia nuptiæ factæ sunt in Chana Galilææ, & erat mater IESV ibi: uocatus est autem & IESVS & discipuli eius ad nuptias. Et deficiente uino, dicit mater IESV ad eū: Vinu non habent. Et dicit ei IESVS: Quid mihi & tibi est mulier ? nondum uenit hora mea. Dicit mater eius ministris: Quodcunque dixerit uobis, facite. Erant autem ibi lapidæææ hydriæ sex positæ secundum purificationem Iudæorum, capientes singulæ metretas binas uel ternas. Dicit eis Iesus: Implete hydrias aqua. Et impleuerunt eas usque ad summum. Et dicit eis Iesus: Haurite nunc, & ferte architriclino. Et tulerunt. Vt autem gustasset architriclinus aquam uinum factum, & non sciebat unde esset (ministri autem sciebant qui hauserant aquam), uocat sponsum architriclinus, & dicit ei: Omnis homo primum bonum uinum ponit, & cum inebriati fuerint, tunc id quod deterius est. Tu aute seruasti bonum uinū usque adhuc. Test. Lat. and Eng., Cov., 1538. Paris. The Latin version in this edition is exactly the same as in the foregoing, with differences in the orthography; except where in the latter end of the extract from Luke, instead of " quia non erat eis," it is in the Paris ed. "quia non erat ei"-and in the extract from John, instead of "Vt autem gustasset, it is "Vt autem gustauit.” Test. Lat. and Engl., Hollyb. 1538. Nicolson. The Latin version in this edition is also the same as in the above, except instead of in Mark, "intrauit Capernaum post dies, et auditum," &c. it is "intrauit Capernaum post dies octo et auditum," &c.; and instead of "dicit eis Iesus: Implete,” &c., “dixit eis Iesus: Implete," &c.
