Mark 4

^{2 !} By the parables of the sede, and the mustarde corne, Christ sheweth the state of the kingdome of God.

^{2 a} It is called Christs doctrine, either for that he was accustomed to speake vnto them by similitudes: or els because it had that vertue & majestie that men colde not denie but it came from heauen.

^{2 /} Or, as he taught.

^{9 b} For God doeth not open all mens heartes to vnderstand his mysteries.

^{11 d} And are not of the nomber of the faithful, nether atteine to the pith and substance, but onely staye in the outwarde rinde and barke.

^{11 !} A special gift of God to knowe the mysteries of his kingdome.

^{11 c} Which are led by the Spirit of God.

^{21 e} Christ setteth before their eyes the true patron of a christian life.

^{21 /} Or, boght.

^{22 f} We may not take occasion to do euil vnder colour to hide our doings: for all shal be disclosed at length.

^{24 g} If you do your endeuour faithfully, ye shal be recompensed justely.

^{25 h} That which he thinketh him self to haue.

^{26 i} These two similtudes following proue, that althogh the kingdome of God semeth to haue very litle appearance or beginning, yet God doeth increase it aboue mans reason.

^{26 k} If the ministers do their duetie, God wil giue the increase.

^{36 l} And set forwarde.

^{37 !} He stilleth the tempeste of the sea which obeyed him.

^{38 m} Christ leaueth vs often times to our selues bothe aswel that we may learne to knowe our owne weakenes, as his mightie power.

^{40 /} Or, haue you not yet faith.
