For this people's heart is waxed gross, And their ears are dull of hearing, And their eyes they have closed; Lest haply they should perceive with their eyes, And hear with their ears, And understand with their heart, And should turn again, And I should heal them.
for þe herte of this puple is greetli fattid, and þei herden heuyli with eeris, and þei han closed her iyen, lest sumtime þei seen with iyen, and with eeris heeren, and vndirstonden in herte, and þei be conuertid, and Y heele hem.
