com of the dysese of the swete Ih̄u cryst How may we gloryfye vs of our ryches that cometh of the pouerte of Ihesu crist ¶ What delyte maye we haue of our fredom that is all comen of the bondes ēprysonement of our lorde ihesu cryst It neuer pleysed him that he shold suffre bere on his body all the harme payne that we haue soo moche deseruyd wythout we ben parteners wyth hym in some maner of penaunce sorowe For trouth soo shal we doo yf we wylle be parteners of his Ioye For he is not wort●● to be partener to the wynnyng that will not be partener to the losse wherof saynt bernarde sayth ¶ Videntes angustias dn̄i nostri Ih̄u cristi leuiter portauimꝰ nr̄as ¶ Yf we saw thanguysshes that our lord Ihesu crist suffred for vs we sholde bere ours the more lyghtly And yf we wylle not be of his lyuerey in compassion it is noo reason we sholde be of his lyuerey in consolacyon ¶ See ye now the fourth defawte that Ihesu cryste had that was drynke fayllid hym to his mouth Two maner of mē haue grete nede of drynke A mā that hath moche traueiled and a man that hath moche bledde And both thise thynges were in our lorde Ihesu cryste that daye For neuer may was so wery of paynfull traueylle wooful seruyce as he was wherof hym selfe sayth by Ysaye the prophete ¶ Seruice me fecistis in pectīs nostris et laborem michi prebuistꝭ in iniquitatibus nostris ¶ Ye make me serue in youre fowle synnes to giue my labour in your Iniquyte And after he sayth ¶ Ysaye Laboraui sustinens I haue traueylled in suffrynge For I haue suffred al the harmes that men wolde doo me for the loue of mannes soule And yf ye wylle ye maye fynde wreten that in that labour he traueylled soo moche that the blood ranne fro his tēder bodi forto crye for mercy to his fader for his loue mannes sowle that was condempned to perpetuel pryson As he sayth by Iherom ¶ Laboraui rogans I haue sore traueylled in prayeng for your soules thyse were harde labours ¶ The seconde cause to say he was lete blood It was not of one veyne nor of two but he bledde ouer al his body In soo many places· that it was grete dyfficulte to nomber the woundes of the amyable body of Ihesu cryste that plenteuously bledde· But whan we ben lete blood vpon a lityll veyne on oure armes we kepe vs all stylle cloos in a chamber that none ayer come in to hurte vs. And haue alle thynges ordeyned to our comforte ¶ A good lorde al otherwyse wēte it at your paynful bledyng that was so cruelly drawen oute of the towne wythout ony mercy or pyte and by the shamfull tyrauntes hanged vpon the Crosse agaynst that brennyng sonne streyned as streyte as· a parchemyn skynne to drye And by thyse paynfull woūdes labours he had grete thurste whiche was noo merueylle And thenne he pleyned hym peteously sayd ¶ Scicio I haue thurst what thenne They gaaf him noo ypocras nor wyne ne yet fair water But they gaaf hym eysel and galle medled togyder ¶ Alas what drynke was thys to be gyuen at soo grete a nede ¶ Cum gustasset noluit bibere sed dixit consūmatum est WHan he had taasted he wold not drynke but sayd all is fulfylled Thenne myght he wel haue sait alas now am I outrageously seruyd y t for al the companye that I haue had wyth them and for all the honoures that I haue shewed to theym they yelde me now thus shrewedly my seruyse that in soo grete disease as I am now in and in soo grete defawte they wylle not gyue me a lityl water to drynke Now am I outrageously seruyd For truly this same dyde more harme than many other of the paynes that he suffryd· And noo merueyle for he had longe laboured for to teche theym for to saue their soules ▪ and to drawe theyr loue towarde hym And for all this grete loue yet at the laste they dyde hym this grete vilanye Wherof he pleyneth hym by Iherom the prophete sayeng ¶ Recordare paupertatis trangressionis mee absinthij fellis Fayre frende remembre you of the pouertee that I suffred for you And remembre of the grete disptes that was done to me· whā they gaaf me to drynke so euyll a drynke for your loue wherof sayth saynt bernarde ¶ Sitiui salutē vestram I haue thurst sayd our lorde and not oonly for drynke but oonly for your sauacyon O good lorde mercy who had euer in hym soo ferme loue as he whan he was in soo paynfull caas that he felte the feuers of his harde deth pricke soo sore his pyteuous soule Yet sayd he not alas the harde crosse destroyeth my seke body But he sayd I haue grete thurste that my loue may be deliuerde from helle He sayde not how thyse thornes rase myn wooful hede Nor alas how my hōdes fete ben broken perced wyth grete nayles Nor alas that I sholde suffre soo many grete paynes wythout deserte But he sayd I haue desire that my loue were sauyd ▪ as saynt bernarde sayth ¶ Tantū me dilexisti o bone Ih̄u quod inmemor fuisti doloris nō inmemor mee salutis dixisti scicō non dixisti doleo Soo moche thou hast louyd me o good Ih̄u that y u hast not remembryd thy sorowe yet thou haddest y e remembraunce of my saluacōn whā thou saydest I thurst after your saluacyon and sayd not I haue grete sorowe for my paynes But all otherwyse toke it the felon Iewes and therfore they dyde him suche a noye that thei most bytter eysell and galle gaaf hym to drynke ¶ The fifth defaute that was ful grete was whan euery frende fayled to his comforte soo as hymself pleyneth hym by dauyd ¶ Singulariter sum ego donec transeam I am lefte allone wythoute comforte tyll that I be passed oute of this mortall lyf Wherof he sayth by ysaye ¶ Circumspexi et non erat auxiliator I behelde all about me and there is none that of ony thynge helpeth me or wyll comforte me And syth sayth he by ysaye ¶ Torcular calcaui solus non erat de gentibus vir mecum I haue troden in the vylayn pressours all alone and of all the folkes in the worlde I haue not one man wyth me Wherof sayth ysaye ¶ Quare ergo est rubium indumentum tuum et vestimenta tua sicut calcancium in torculari ¶ But fayre lorde god wherfore was thenne thy vestyment soo rede as they that haue pressed wyne at the pressour Ye for trouth the vestyment that he was clothyd in was his clene skyn that was alle redde of his blessed blode as he had pressid redde wyne all alone with out comforte and wythout helpe ¶ But fayr frende ye wolde saye perauenture that allone wythoute comforte was he not For he had his dere moder
