He that is able to receiue it, let him receiue it. 13¶ Then were there brought vnto him little children, that he should put his hands on them, and pray: and the disciples rebuked them. 14But Iesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not to come vnto me: for of such is þe kingdome of heauen.
