СКАЧАТЬ be thy lot, O

       my son, they went on to a city in

       which were several idols; which,

       as soon as they came near to it,

       was turned into hills of sand.

      9 Hence they went to that

       sycamore tree, which is now called

       Matarea.

      10 And in Materea the Lord

       Jesus caused a well to spring

       forth, in which St. Mary washed

       his coat;

      11 And a balsam is produced,

       or grows, in that country, from

       the sweat which ran down there

       from the Lord Jesus.

      12 Thence they proceeded to

       Memphis, and saw Pharoah, and

       abode three years in Egypt.

      13 And the Lord Jesus did very

       many miracles, in Egypt, which

       are neither to be found in

       Gospel of the Infancy nor in the

       Gospel of Perfection.

      14 At the end of three years

       he returned out of Egypt, and

       when he came near to Judea,

       Joseph was afraid to enter;

      15 For hearing that Herod was

       dead, and that Archelaus his son

       reigned in his stead, he was afraid.

      16 And when he went to Judea,

       an, angel of God appeared to

       him, and said, O Joseph go

       into the city of Nazareth, and

       abide there.

      17 It is strange indeed, that he,

       who is the Lord of all countries,

       should be thus carried backward and

       forward, through so many countries.

      CHAPTER IX.

      2 Two sick children cured by water

       wherein Christ was washed.

      WHEN they came afterwards

       into the city of Bethlehem,

       they found there several very

       desperate distempers, which became

       so troublesome to children by seeing

       them, that most of them died.

      2 There was there a woman who

       had a sick son, whom she brought,

       when he was at the point of death,

       to the Lady St. Mary, who saw

       her when she was washing Jesus

       Christ.

      3 Then said the woman, O my

       Lady Mary, look down upon this

       my son, who is afflicted with most

       dreadful pains.

      4 St. Mary hearing her, said,

       Take a little of that water with

       which I have washed my son, and

       sprinkle it upon him.

      5 Then she took a little of that

       water, as St. Mary had commanded,

       and sprinkled it upon her son,

       who being wearied with his violent

       pains, was fallen asleep; and after

       he had slept a little, awaked

       perfectly well and recovered.

      6 The mother being abundantly

       glad of this success, went again to

       St. Mary, and St. Mary said to

       her, Give praise to God, who hath

       cured this thy son.

      7 There was in the same place

       another woman, a neighbour of

       her, whose son was now cured.

      8 This woman's son was afflicted

       with the same disease, and his eyes

       were now almost quite shut, and

       she was lamenting for him day

       and night.

      9 The mother of the child which

       was cured, said to her, Why do

       you not bring your son to St. Mary,

       as I brought my son to her, when

       he was in the agonies of death;

       and he was cure by that water,

       with which the body of her son

       Jesus was washed?

      10 When the woman heard her

       say this, she also went, and having

       procured the same water, washed

       her son with it, whereupon his

       body and his eyes were instantly

       restored to their former state.

      11 And when she brought her

       son to St. Mary, and opened his

       case to her, she commanded her to

       give thanks to God for the recovery
