CAP. XXXVII.

_Of the sea of Galyle._

AND from thence men go to a citie that men call Tyberyen,[1] that

sitteth[2] on the sea of Galyle, it is no sea ne arme of the sea,

for it is but a staumble[3] of fresh water, and it is no more than an

hundred furlongs long and XL brode, and therein is many good fyshes.

And by that same sea, standeth many good cities, and therefore thys

sea chaungeth often his name after the cities that stande thereupon,

but it is all one water or sea and upon this sea, our Lorde went dry

fote and there sayde he to Peter when he came on the water, & was

nere drowned, _Modice fidei quare dubitasti?_ That is to saye, Thou of

lyttle fayth, why hadst thou doubte.
