What fayeft thou of him, that he hath

But the Jews did not believe con- 18.
cerning him, that he had been blind
and received his fight, until they call'd
the Parents of him that had receiv'd
his fight. And they asked them, fay- 19.
ing, Is this your Son, who ye fay was born
blind? how then doth he now fee? His 20.
Parents answered them and faid, We
know that this is our fon, and that he was
born blind: But by what means he now 21.
Seeth, we know not; or who hath opened
his eyes we know not: he is of age, ask him,

fpake his Parents, because they feared
the Jews: For the Jews had agreed al-
ready, that if any Man did confefs that
he was Chrift, he should be put out of

rents, He is of age, ask him.

Then again call'd they the Man that 24.

Whether he be a finner or no, I know
