sundry waies all the night scorned and afflicted In the morning he was violently caried through the midst of the cittie to the house of Pilate From thence he was led to the pallace of Herod and accufed againe despised of him mocked apparrelled like a foole in a white garment brought back again by another way of the city to Pilate There again he was accused of many faultes stripped and greuously whipped cloathed with purple crowned with thornes dyuersly derided spitted vppon buffetted with fistes and stricken with a reede and being thus misused was made a gazeing stocke to the people and adiudged to death Then he was loden with a heauie crosse and in the sight of all the people with greeuous and bloudy steps hee was drawen punched and vrged by the furiouse violence of the soldiers through a great parte of the cittie and by the gate of Iudgement out of the cittie by a harde and stoany way euen vnto mount Caluarie And being come thither he was stripped againe and being both faint and weary was refreshed with gaule in stede of drink and about high noone he was fastened to the crosse so lifted vpon high And hanging on the crosse by the space of three howers was derided with taunts reproachfull woordes being thirstie they gaue him vineger to drinke Finally he which could saue the world with one drop of his bloude would needes bestowe vppon vs by the fiue Riuers of his woundes his life with all his bloude A figure hereof was that brasen serpent which moses caused to be exalted in the wildernes To this spectacle also our heauenly father calleth euery faithfull soule Come forth saith he ye daughters of Sion and see king Salomon Naye one farre greater then Salomon In like manner Christ hanging on the crosse crieth out O all ye which passe by the way behould and see if there be any sorrow greefe like myne And not onely to the consideration and meditation of these things but also to the Imitation God in the holy Scripture exhorteth vs in these woordes spiritually interpreted saying Looke make all thinges according to the example or fashion which was shewed thee in the mount For all the precepts of life which our sauiour taught all the time of his preaching as well by word as by example the same he expressed in himselfe in one day of his passion Wherefore if we would follow Christ not onely in woorde but also in woorke we may by his liuely crucified Image on mount Caluarie as it were out of a goulden booke intituled with the noble title of three most principal languages written with the quils of the speare of the nails of the thornes and of the whippes in the most pure parchment of the Immaculat lambe and with the purple bloude of the same both learned and vnlearned learne easely breifly perfect theologie the most wholesome remedies of Phisicke the full knowledge of Lawe and of Iustice the science of liberall artes of true humilitie of obedience of pietie of charitie of patience finally of all manner of vertues and of thinges most perfect and may also bee inflamed and drawen to loue and to follow Christ Thus the blessed virgin standing nere to the crosse of Christ did not onely with bodely eies but also in hart through faith which wauered not in her behould the woundes of her sonne and seriously thinking thereon was so comforted that now as Ambrose saith she was prepared also to die for the good of mankind So saint Ihon both seing the side of Christ opened with a speare bloude with water comming foorth of the same and also giuing testimonie thereunto did by the meditation thereof so greatly profite that at the last he became a most perfect diuine and a soaring Eagle to behoulde the most holy Trinitie So the Theefe when he sawe and hearde Christ Iesus crucified in continently tourned vnto Christ and confessing him he made the punishment of murder martiredome and chaunged the crosse for Paradice So also the Centurion by this spectacle receaued so great strength of faith that vnder the crosse he was made a famous confessor of Christ and further as Chrysostome saith was afterwarde crowned with Martyredome Moreouer Thomas behoulding touching the wounds of Christ crucified was so illumined with faith that hee plainly and openly professed Christ to be both his Lord and his God This beeing so and loue procuring loue euen as the loadstone draweth Ironne who is hee I pray you whome so vehement loue of Christ nay rather a heate and flame will not affecte kindell and sette on fier Who is he when at the death of Christ all creatures do suffer with him the Sunne darkened the vaile of the Temple rent in sonder the earth quaking Rockes breaking graues opening and the deade arising who and what is hee I say that will not woonder and that will not be abasshed Onely Adams children for whose cause he died are not moued with this so great a benefite The Adamente that most harde stoane is mollified with the bloude of a goate Iron with the heate of fier is made softe but the hartes of Christians more harde then Adamant or Iron are not mollified with the bloude and fier of Christ but do crucifie a fresh vnto themselues the sonne of God and do tread vnder their feete the bloude of the testament What I pray you can be more beseeming more meete more Iuste and more profitable for vs then to loue againe him that so loueth vs and Imitate him whome wee loue For if any thing herein seme harde if any thing greuous that thing loue the sweete yoke of the Lord maketh light and easie for all labor is light to him that loueth according to that notable sentence of that auntiente father saint Gregory Nihil adeo graue est quod non aequanimiter toleretur si Chrsti passio ad memoriam reduca tur There is nothing so heauy burthensome but the same is willingly borne if so be the passion of Christ be remembered For we will indure all thinges with patience as light and easie if we call to mynde what hard wordes harder stripes and most harde paines and afflictions he suffered for vs whose heade was crowned with thornes his eyes blinde foulded his eares filled with reproaches his mouth with gaule and vineger his face polluted with spitting his cheekes brused with buffetting his kneese shaking his shoulders laden with the crosse his hart replenished with sorrow his bodie torne with whippes his members racked his handes and feete bored to be breefe from the crowne of the heade to the soales of the foot he sustained an Innumerable sort of woundes and sorrowes Wherefore as the waters Mara being sometimes bitter were made swete by Moses at what time he cast wood into them euen so all our tribulation if we patiently indure the crosse of Christ will waxe sweete and the gaule thereof will tourne into honny For

where it was afore AElius Adrian the Emperour slue of them in one daye fiue hundred and foure score thousande and vtterly rased the reste of the buildinges of Ierusalem and leueled the mountaine Moria whereon the Temple was builded and made it euen casting the rubbish and earthe thereof into the vale Iosaphat and into the brooke Cedron lefte the citty trusting to the defence of the mountaine and Temple shoulde rise vppe and rebell any more against the Romaines He wasted also with fire and sword nine hundred and foure score villages But the emperour Iulian the Apostata after two hundred and twenty seuen yeares to make the oracle of Christ false which he had prophesied concerning the temple that there should not bee lefte one stone vppon another gaue vnto the Iewes money out of the common treasurie and commanded them to build a new the temple and to sacrifice there according to the law of Moses The Iewes glad of this came from all partes of the world to Ierusalem and threatning greuous things against the Christians they prepared got vnto them skilfull workemen stones timber morter and all other things necessary for the building also they caused to be made siluer mattockes spades and baskets and throughly purged the place where the Temple stoode with such speede and willingnesse that their women also bestowed all their ouches taches bruches and other Iewells for the building and caried out from that place all the rubbish in their laps And when the foundations were opened and clensed the day following they should haue begun their foundation but the same night there came such an exceeding and vehement tempest that it caried away and scattered abroade their stone timber and morter with other their necessaries Ouer and besides this a greate earthquake shooke all the stones of the olde foundations of the temple and dispersed them disordered the houses nexte adioyning to the temple by a downefall and killed many Iewes And when they which remained in the morning enterprised againe to build a fier falling from heauen a flame also breaking foorth from the foundations of the temple destroyed more Iewes then before which either were busy about the worke or which came thither to see and looke on and all that daye burnt and consumed into ashes their maules hammers axes spades and all other working tooles that nothing was left The Iewes being yet obstinately bent the next night following a bright signe of the crosse appeared in heauen and the garments of all the Iewes were marked as it were from heauen with figures of the crosse and replenished therewith as the firmament with starres which when the day appeared they seeking to put out could not by any manner of means do it And thus being astonished and confounded they lefte off both their vaine enterprise and also the place So that by their wicked endeuour the diuine oracle was not only not made frustrate but also more fulfilled and confirmed The Iewes being in this sorte beaten from their enterprise the Christians neuerthelesse were not afeard to build in the same place For they erected a temple there in a round forme made of greate hewen and pollished stones couered with a leaden roofe very large high and bewtifull to behold The which in processe of time was honored with the Patriarchall seate and became famous by reason of the true and pure worship of God which was therein maintayned At the length being inuaded by the Saracens it was contaminated foure hundred threescore and three yeares with the filthy worship of Mahomet Finally in the yeare of Christ 1099. the very same temple though it was fortified with a wall with towers and with strong gates by the Christians yet was it violently wonne by Godfrey of Bullion a valeant man who killed within the circuit of the temple ten thousand Saracens in such wise that the vpper face of the earth was couered with the bloud of the slayne In the which place the saide Godfrey erected a Colledge of diuine seruice giuing continuall maintenaunc to the same furnishing it with necessary habitations which so continued by the space of foure score and eighte yeares The which expired the same was possessed againe by the Saracens through the pernicious discorde of Christian princes who in the toppe thereof according to their manner sette vp the figure of the halfe moone and in the courts thereof they planted figges and oliue trees The same being nowe possessed of the Turkes is defiled with the detestable worship of Mahomet And all Christians are commanded by an Edict not to enter thereinto vppon paine of death For if any Christian bee knowne to haue entered therein hee is by and by either compelled solemnely to deny the faith of Christe or else publiquely to lose his head THE FIRST PARTE OF THE TEMPLE 75. THE HOLY OF HOLYEST the which is so called bicause of the singuler holinesse of the place It is also named the Oracle and the Inner house For it was the secretest part of the temple whereinto fewe did come being twentie cubits longe and as many in bredth the heighte whereof was one hundred and twenty cubits Whose floore was paued with marble and layde ouer with firre boardes couered with plate of golde The gates were made of polished stones inwardely framed with boordes of cedar and couered with golden plates the which being fastened with nailes of golde shined most gloriously as if it had beene a diuine worke Whereon were grauen Cherubims pretious stones palmes flowers Imbosements and pictures of diuerse sortes representing the celestiall bewty The roofe also was couered with golden plate the very top whereof was sette full of goulden prickets or sharpe spittes to fraie away birdes leste by sitting thereon it mighte bee polluted Into this sacred holy of holyest the chiefe Prieste for the diuine maiesty thereof entred but once euery yeare alone in the feast of purgation on which daye the Iewes did fast and afflict themselues And then that greate and chief priest of God prefiguring the person of Christe offered the bloude of a calfe burnte without the hoast for his owne sinnes and for the sinnes of the people Who if he weare but somuch as in sleepe polluted entred not in in his own person but by his substituted vicar THE PARTES OF THE MOST HOLY PLACEs 76. THE ARKE OF THE COVENANT the which by the commaundement of God was made of Sethim wood which corrupteth not by Moses in the deserte couered within and without with plate of pure goulde being sette in the middest of the holy of holiest shining like the sun with the glittering brightnesse of golde Whose surpassing bewtie is rather to be wondred at then with words to be expressed In this Arke the two tables of stone containing the ten commaundements written with the finger of God were kept with a singular care and holinesse also the Pot wherein was Manna and

Aarons florishing rod and the booke of Deuteronomy The Arke abode in this place about foure hundred and thirty yeares It is written in the book of the Machabees y t in the time of the captiuity of Babilon the Prophet Ieremy by the commandement of God hid the same priuily together with the Alter of Incense and the perpetuall fier in a caue of the mount Nebo But the Hebrues coniecture that it was caried by Nabuchodonozer into Babilon that it was neuer returned againe but another made by the Iewes in steade thereof after the returne from the captiuitie Other some thinke that Nabuchodonozer carried away the same with fiue thousand and foure hundred vessels of siluer and golde which belonged to the temple of Ierusalem and put them into the temple of Bell his god but preserued by Gods prouidence as it was sometime in Philistaea after threescore and ten yeares of the captiuitie they thinke I say that it was restored againe to the Iewes at their returne by Cyrus together with the said vessels But after the beseeging of Ierusalem Titus and Vespasian cariyng out of the temple to Rome the Arke of the couenant the two tables of the Lawe with both the rods of Moses and Aaron also the goulden table and some of the shew bread the goulden Candlestick also and the foure pillers made these to be caried among other spoiles by the Iewes themselues round about the cittie in an open triumph wherein with greate pompe they triumphed ouer that nation Simon Giora Captaine of the seditious and seuen hundred Iewes captiues which were selected from among the rest for youth and comlynesse going before the triumpher halfe naked with their hands bound This triumph being ended Vespasian layed vp all the vessels of Ierusalem in the Temple of Peace at Rome which hee in moste sumptuous manner had builded But the lawe of the Iewes and the purple vailes of the most secret places he commanded to be safely layde vp in his pallace 77. THE TWO CHERVBIMS of glory the which as it appeareth by the Hebrue text of Paralippomenon are like vnto young boyes made of the wood of the oliue tree ten cubits high and couered with plates of gold and shining with angelicall brightnesse stood at each ende of the Arke with wings spred one couple couering the propitiatorie and with the other couple touching the gate on both sides Whose faces were directed toward the vttermost house and looking one towardes the other they behelde both themselues and also the propitiatorie 78. THE PROPITIATORIE otherwise also called the oracle the which being aboue the Arke betwene the wings of the two Cherubims and shining with most pure golde in brightnesse aboue the sunne representing the diuine maiesty was as it were the seate of God speaking from whence he gaue oracles and answeres THE SECOND PARTE OF THE TEMPLE 79. THE HOLIE PLACE so called for the dignitie of the place It was also called the Sanctuary the outwarde house of the Lorde and the priests Courte This is the other parte of the Temple fortye cubits longe and twenty broade in highte one hundred and twenty cubits The doores hereof were of golde The floore made of firre boards was couered with plate of goulde The gates were made of polished stones and beeing within lined with boardes of Caedar were couered outwardely with plates of goulde Whereon was grauen Cherubims pretious stones palmes flowers and sundry carued workes and pictures which wonderfullie delighted men to behold Aboue it was couered with a fayre roofe shining as if it had beene fier From the enterance hereinto such as were not cleane were forbidden by the Lawe Only the priests which Kinge Dauid reckened to the number of thirty eight thousand and distinguished them by Lot into foure and twenty orders entered dayly thereinto All which beeing without vice according to Dauids ordinance wekely by turne from Saboth to Saboth abstayning from their wiues from wine and from all other stronge drincke their priuities couered with linnen breeches outwardely cloathed and girded with a linnen garment wearing a silke myter on their heade in a wonderfull order and with the greatest reuerence that coulde bee they worshipped God they offered sacrifices and made their praiers 80. THE ALTER OF INCENSE of gould which by Gods commaundement was placed ouer againste the vaile hanging before the most holy place called the holye of holyest Whereon the Priestes euery daye morning and euening offered vnto God for a sweete sauour Frankenscence and sweete perfumes The angell Gabriell standing sometime at the righte hande of this alter toulde vnto Zachary as hee was offering Incense the conception of Iohn Baptist 81. THE GOVLDEN CANDELSTICKE the which hauing seuen branches and so many Candles was placed on the South side of the Temple the which being lamps of most pure oile burned continually and gaue light as well by day as by night to all the holy place 82. THE FOVNTAYN of water which issued forth on y e right side of the temple the water wherof Salomō deriued into the sea of bras and into the copper Lauer the which being carried from thence by Conduit pipes vnder the earth breking forth halfe a mile from the east side of the citrie ranne into the brooke Cedron 83.

THE CHEFE PRIESTE his Image and holy apparell euery parte whereof shewe forth vnto vs a diuine and heauenly magnificence For when he went to offer sacrifice or to enter into the most holy place he put on not only the vnder garments spoken of before vnder the nūber seuenty nyne but also aboue vppon them a Tunicle of Iacinct with sleues downe to the ankells at the lower hem wherof there did hang threescore and two golden bells and in another border as many pomegranats The Tunicle was girt with a girdle foure fingers broad wouen with silke gould precious stones and flowers of sundry colours Aloft aboue this he did wear an Ephod or Superhumeral that is to say a most faire cloake made of golde of Iacinct of purple scarlet and of fine silke most curiously wouen together dazling of the eies by reason of y e variety glittering brightnes of the colours and flowers Vpon each shoulder whereof there were seueral Onix stones included in golde which Iosephus calleth Sardonichs in either of which stones six names of the children of Israell were grauen Beside these he had the Reasonable of Iudgement which he caried vpon his brest wherein was doctrine and truth The Reasonable
