againe For sundry causes good From Egipt where they did remaine Iosephus past the flood And came to lurie for to dwell Thus tossed cruellie Was Christ the king of Israell From his weake infancie Thus did our good and louing God Send downe his onely sonne To saue vs sinners from his rod That else had bene vndonne There was no merites left for man His sillie soule to saue But onely this Christ onely can Reuiue vs in the graue This Christ at the appointed time Tooke flesh of Adams seede Whose substance was but earthie slime This flesh he tooke in deede And in this flesh that did offend This second Adam hee Did all our former faults amend And fully made vs free As many as vnfainedly Beleeue and say the same They finde saluation certainly In Iesus Christ his name Therefore be glad in God reioyce He is our strength and stay Be ioyfull and lift vp your voyce To Iacobs God alway Amen THE SECOND PART OF THE HISTORIE OF OVR LORD AND SAVIOVR IESVS CHRIST containing those things which he did the first yeare after his Baptisme which was the xxx of his age according to the foure Euangelistes To the tune of the Lordes Prayer Christ Baptized the time when and where he was Baptized CHrist thirtie yeares of age at lest Began to preach the Gospell then Our sauiour Christ was ready prest To bring glad tydings vnto men But ere he would this enterprise In Iordan Iohn did him Baptise Tiberius Caesar as we read Then raigned full the fifteenth yeare Iudea Pylate rulde as head In Galilie it doth appeare That Herod raigned in the place And in Iturea Phillip was Lysanias ruled Abylen Annas and Cayphas high Priests were Th'Euangelistes agree that then Iohn preached and Baptized there Among the rest he did Baptise Our Sauiour Christ but on this wise Christ Iesus came from Galilie To Iordan where Iohn did Baptise Iohn Christ fore-running certainly His office did well exercise With diligence whose time then came To yeeld to Christ and leaue the same With water I Baptise said he Mens liues t'amend I teach the way But he that commeth after me To Baptise his will not delay With fire and with the holy Ghost To whom I yeeld his might is most Therefore when Christ Baptisde would be Iohn put him backe and said I need To haue thy helpe com'st thou to me Christ said againe we must in deed Both thus all righteousnesse fulfill Then Iohn obeyd Christ Iesus will Christ needed not at all to haue This badge of penitence but he That meant his chosen for to saue Most humble showes himselfe to be Christ Baptisme did receiue therefore That he might honour it the more When Christ out of the water went Straightway the heau'ns were opened Iohn saw the same incontinent Assoone as it then happened The holy Ghost Iohn like a doue Did see descending from aboue He heard withall from heau'n this voyce This is my welbeloued sonne In whom I onely do reioyce By him my will is truly donne The Father Sonne and Spitite he Then heard and saw at once all three The voyce and sight Iohn heard and sawe Assured him that this was he Of whom all men should stand in awe By whom all men must saued be He that sent Iohn for to Baptise Said thou shalt see him in such wise Iohn then discharging well his place Was glad in heart to leaue the same And yeeld to Christ so full of grace Of whom he published the fame I came before said Iohn to tell And spread his name in Israell Christ by the spirite was lead into the wildernesse where he fasted forty dayes and 40. nights After all this the spirite lead Christ Iesus to the wildernesse Where he troad downe the Serpents head To bring vs out of heauinesse There first he did both pray and fast While fortie dayes and nights did last Among wild beasts he liued then This was his comfort all those dayes So farre from companie of men In prayer to talke with God alwayes Christ thus with reu'rent care did take In hand his office for our sake But after that those dayes were donne To show him perfect man to be An hungred was Gods onely sonne Though farre from foode as then was he The tempter thought this place most fit And time to ply his wilie wit Christ was tempted of the deuill three wayes and thrise himselfe ouercome by Christ He like himselfe is alwayes found Most false and faine would Christ deceiue This first demaund he did propound As doubting though he did perceiue That Christ the sonne of God should bee And tryes it with deuises threee First to dispaire he Christ would bring As then to doubt of helpe at need His wants he knew and vrg'd that thing If thou be Christ Gods sonne in deed Command these stones made bread to bee For other foode I can not see Christ answereth man doth not liue By bread alone as thou doest deeme Gods word is bread which I beleeue Doth feede all his this I esteeme By it mans life preserued is I will not tempt my God in this Then next the deuill deuised so From doubt to confidence as vaine Christ to prouoke they both thence go The temple to from top againe Sathan willd Christ to take a fall Angels will aide thee if thou call For this is written sure said he That God hath charg'de them so to do If thou doest fall then shall I see And shew it vnto many moe Thus did the deu'll Gods word abuse Which God hath willd vs well to vse Christ said againe this written is Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God Who so doth so deserueth this For such a fault to feele his rod. I will not so deceiued be Depart therefore thou deu'll from me Lastly by wealth and worldly gaine The subtil'st shift of all the rest Man to deceiue whose minde is vaine This wile as then the deuill addrest To tempt our Sauiour Christ withall Not doubting him therewith to fall He brought him to a mountaine high These worldly kingdomes to behold The deuill was in his maiestie This act of his was verie bold All these said he will I giue thee If thou fall downe and worship me But Iesus could no more abide To heare him vaunt so much amisse Christ did conuince him then of pride To offer him that was not his Voyde Sathan get thee hence away Worship the Lord thy God obay You see therefore Christ Iesus was So by the spirite led away He fasted in a desert place He practis'd prayer day by day And Sathans sleights did ouerthrow All this the Scripture doth vs show And in that he was tempted so And suffered S. Paule doth say He is well able to helpe mo That tempted are by any way We need not therefore stand in feare When we

And worship him they say King Herod what is knowne to thee Declare without delay This troubled all Hierusalem as it had done the King Yet many knew in Bethlehem Should be this child-bearing But Herod fearing his estate So doubtfull to endure Did of this matter much debate His Crowne it was not sure Therefore he sent the men away To search where Christ should be That Christ saith he without delay May worship't be by me Now as the chiefe Priests Scribes and rest Had therein taught to them The wisemen so were ready prest To go to Bethlehem Yet warned by the king they were To make returne againe Thereby he thought to end his feare When he the child had slaine So they depart and loe the starre Which they had seene before By which they had now iourneyd farre And were to trauaile more Did still direct them in their way Each day by day and night Till they had seene it did not stray The onely Lord of might Whom when they found they fell downe flat To worship him and these Gaue to him treasures each one what Each one of them did please Or as their countrey yeelded then They vnto him did bring Gold incense mirrhe those sage wisemen Did offer to that king And so being warned in a night For God an Angell sent Another way with all their might They to their countrey went Then they perceiu'd that Herods drifts Was onely him to slay Whom they adored with their gifts Therfore they went their way Christ was presented in the temple at Ierusalem where Simeon and Anna witnessed of him Marie purified according to the law When Maries daies were finished Full thirtie daies and three She afterward was purified As women wont to be And then the child they did present Meekely before the Lord For to Ierusalem then went His friends with one accord This was a law they did obserue The first that opened The mothers wombe they did reserue To God as hallowed And offer'd an oblation Of turtle Doues a paire Or pigeons young this portion They would not sure appaire Then Simeon surnamed iust That long had liued there For Israels comfort he did trust He liu'd of God in feare The holy Ghost him this foretold No death shall dint on thee The Lord his Christ though thou art old Before thou surely see He then into the temple came When Iesus there was brought And speaking plainly of the same As in his minde he thought Said Lord now lettest thou in peace Thy seruaunt to depart According to thy promise ease Is hapned to my hart For with mine eyes I sure haue seene Saluation sent by thee And in mine armes thy sonne hath beene That workes the same for me Him thou prepared hadst before To be the Gentiles light And eke to Israell euer more Their glory and their might Then Ioseph and his mother milde Did maruaile much to heare The wordes he spake there of the child And pondred them with feare Yet Simeon blessing them could say Oh Marie be content This fall to many is the stay To Israell was meant Old Anna was a Prophetesse Which prayed day and night This likewise did the child confesse To be the Gentiles light She came by chance the same to see That she so much desirde The rites performed orderly They home-wardes all retir'de Ioseph warned of an Angell flieth into Egipt After all this was Ioseph warnde That he should take the child And mother then all three vnharmde Least they should be beguilde For Herod as the Angell said Would seeke to take his life Wherefore to Egipt all affrayd Went Ioseph and his wife The infants slayne Herod as mockt did take a scorne And in his angrie moode Slue infants all in Bethlehem borne And spilt their guiltlesse blood The children there of two yeares old Or vnder as they were He slue them all his act was bold It wanted grace and feare This act was foretold long before In Ieremie we reade That Rachell she should so deplore Her children being dead Which was accomplished in deed By Herod in his ire Who made so many infants bleed Yet mist of his desire For Christ was gone from thence away To Egipt to remaine Whence he till Herods dying day Did not returne againe That it which earst the Prophet said Might certainly be donne I out of Egipt vnaffrayd Haue called backe my sonne Ioseph warned againe by an Angell returneth out of Egipt after the death of Herod When Christ was now full fiue yeares old And had in Egipt beene Two yeares or more as authors hold The Angell there was seene To warne Iosephus thence to come Againe to Israell And bring his wife and sonne as some Supposed there to dwell For now they were both dead and gone That sought the child his life Then he and his supposed sonne Returned and his wife But Archelaus Herods sonne That held his fathers place Made Ioseph thinke they were vndonne He doubted of his grace He went and turned then aside Another part vnto Of Galilie there to abide As he was wild to do In Nazareth he did remaine That it might come to passe What earst the Prophets verie plaine Foretold and so it was Iesus being twelue yeares old disputeth with the elders in the Temple at Ierusalem His parents yeare by yeare they went Their passeouer to hold And did the same with like intent When Christ was twelue yeares old They to Ierusalem did go And there abode the dayes Appointed for that feast no mo For then they went their wayes Yet Christ the Lord abode behind Whom they with sorow sought Three dayes not knowing well his mind What then our Sauiour thought For he began to set abroch The businesse he had Who did perceiue the time approch To make his chosen glad Among the Doctors as he taught And posed them withall His parents found him that were fraught With griefe vnto the gall Yet were they easd and pleasd to heare Each one to geue him prayse Though hey had sought their sonne with feare And sorow sundry wayes Then he againe obediently To Nazareth did come And seru'd his parents reu'rently Most like a louing sonne And he increasd in stature so In wisedome and in grace With God and men where he did go That happie was the place Sixe things specially to be noted in this first part of the Historie Sixe things we may especially In this part marke and see Pertaining to Christes infancy As authors do agree 1 First of what line Christ Iesus came He was of Dauids seede 2 The holy Ghost conceiu'd the same That Marie bore in deede 3 The wisemen thirdly came to see And seeke to finde a king Then found confest him so to be For whom they treasure bring 4 Fourthly by flight Christ scapeth sure King Herods heauie hand 5 For him the infants death indure When Christ had left the land 6 Sixtly being warnd to come

be donne He sent his seruants then forth all That they his bidden guests might call The guests would not though bid they were Repaire with them vnto the feast They sayd they could not then be there To their affaires they were addrest And thus they did the King abuse For eu'ry one made his excuse The first had bought a farme he sayd And he must needs the same go see The second was no whit affrayd Excused well he hop'd to be Fiue yoke of oxen he did buy And went to proue them hastily The third had wed a wife as then He could not come in any wise Thus answered those wicked men That did the heau'nly feast despise Yet were they not so very bad But there were some ten time as mad For they intreated shamefully The seruants that the King had sent They killed them most cruelly That so much good to them had ment Though wicked were the first in deed These did the other farre exceed But when the king had heard the same He sent his warriours forth with speed For he was wroth to heare the fame And worse displeased with the deed Those murtherers destroyed he And causd their Citie burnt to be Vnto his seruants he sayd then The wedding truly is prepard Vnworthie were those wicked men That would so lightly it regard Go ye therefore to the high way And bring me guests without delay The seruants went and so they did They brought him guests both good and bad For eu'ry one they met they bid To seeke to make their master glad And so with guests they furnished The feast that he solemnized The king came in his guests to see And there he did perceiue anon A man among the rest to be That had no wedding garment on This came not to adorne the feast But to haue meate among the rest The king vnto him quickly sayd How camst thou hither in my friend And he then speachlesse all affrayd Could by no meanes his cause defend The king could soone his faults espie For all his cloakt hypocrisie Then to his seruants sayd the king Bind him and take him hence away To vtter darknesse see you bring Him bound both hand and foote I say There weepe and gnash his teeth shall he Many are cal'd few chosen be Of paying tribute vnto Caesar The Pharisies tooke counsell then How Christ in talke might tangled be They sent vnto him Herods men With their Disciples this to see Thus all their wits they busied still To seeke to worke Christ Iesus ill Master sayd they we know and see That thou art true and teachest right The way of God and that with thee Respect of man is verie light Mans person thou doest not respect But him that doth Gods will effect Tell vs therefore how thinkest thou May we to Caesar tribute giue Thy iudgement herein shew vs now For this thing doth vs greatly grieue To pay him that mislikes men more The temple had alwayes before Iesus knowing their wickednesse Sayd Hypocrites why tempt ye me Your deeds shew you to be no lesse I cannot so deceiued be The tribute money shew me soone And you shall know what must be done They brought a peny to him then Whose Image then sayd Christ is this And superscription to those men Caesars sayd they it surely is Giue Caesar Caesars things therefore And God his due for euermore When they heard this they maruelled And left him then and went away H●s answer them astonished So that they could not him gainsay Yet left they not such was their grace To hate him though they left the place Christ confuted the Saduces which denied the resurrection The Saduces the same day came The resurrection they deny And all such men did fowly blame That would beleeue it verily These came I say to Christ that day Their ignorance for to bewray Master sayd they Moses hath sayd Childlesse if that a man should dye His brethren need not be affrayd To take his wife successiuely And mary her to raise him seed This law allowed was in deed There were seu'n brethren here with vs The first of them did wed a wife And dying then it hap'ned thus He left no child that left this life His wife vnto his brother he Did leaue also his wife to be The second third and all the rest Did mary her but had no seed For ech of them as is exprest One after other dy'd in deed And last of all then dyed she Whose wife in heau'n there shall she be Then Iesus answered againe And sayd vnto them verily Ye are deceiued this is plaine In your conceit and wot ye why The Scripture ye at any hand Nor yet Gods power vnderstand For in the resurrection Men do not mary wiues as then But are in each condition As Angels are not mortall men But that the dead do rise againe Haue ye not read yea oft in vayne I am sayd God of Abraham Of Isaac and Iacob in deed Their God and of all them that came Of them by faith or of their seed Sure of the liuing God is he Not of the dead I say to thee And when the people heard it they Were all astonied at the same But some his doctrine did obey Some other shrunke away for shame Which did his works and words despise Nor would beleeue in any wise The Pharisies demanded of Christ which was the great commandement and his answer But when the Pharisies had heard That Christ to silence then had brought The Saduces without regard They then a shift against him sought To worke his shame if it might be And so assembling this agree A Doctour of the Law therefore Should aske him there a question Tempting him then as before And asking his opinion Oh master in the law which is The great commandment tell me this Then Iesus sayd to him againe The Lord thy God him shalt thou loue With all thy heart and eu'ry vayne Thy soule and what thy mind may moue This is the great commaundement To keepe it is expedient The second is like vnto this As thine owne selfe thy neighbour loue On these commandements it is The law and Prophets hang and moue In first and last the wiseman can Learne duties due to God and man To Iesus sayd the Pharisie Master thou hast sayd very true There is but one God verily To loue feare and serue him is due Then Iesus sayd Gods kingdome thou Art not farre from I tell thee now Christ demanded of them how Christ the Messiah is the sonne of Dauid While that the Pharisies were there Gathred together as we find Iesus did aske them without feare Of Christ what thinke ye in your mind Whose sonne is he they sayd againe Christ Dauids sonne is very plaine Christ sayd to them how then doth he In spirit call him Lord I pray As in the Psalmes is for to see The Lord vnto my Lord did say Sit at my

feare he arm'd them gratiously Let not your hearts now troubled be Ye trust in God do so in me And dwelling places many are Within my fathers house I say For you I go place to prepare That be there where I am ye may Yet I will come to you againe And you receiue without disdaine Now ye know whither that I go And likewise ye do know the way Then Thomas sayd Lord no not so We know it not nor know it may Except thou shew it how should we Know well the way to go with thee Then Iesus sayd I am the way I am the truth and life also Come to the father no man may Except that he by me do go Full well my father knoweth he That perfectly hath knowen me Philip sayd Lord it will suffise If thou let vs thy father see Then Iesus answer'd in this wise O Philip he that hath seene me Hath seene my father verily Beleeue the same vnfainedly Beleeu'st thou not that sure I am In the father and he in me The wordes I speake from him they came The works I do all them doth he I am in him so do it take At least beleeue for the worke sake In deed in deed to you I say Who firmely doth beleeue in me The works I do do them he may And greater works then these shall he That man shall sure be blessed so For I vnto my father go What ye aske in my name Ile do That in the same my father may Be glorifi'd I hither to Haue euer taught you so to pray Withall I say if ye loue me See my preceptes obserued be Christ sayd the father I will pray And he another comforter Shall giue to you that the same may Abide and be with you euer Gods spirit sure on you shall be A teacher of all truth is he I will not leaue you comfortlesse But I will come to you againe And then to you I will expresse How in the father I remaine The world shall not these things perceiue Because it will not me receiue Then Iudas sayd vnto him Lord Not Iudas that the traitour was Why doest thou not as well accord To graunt vnto the world this grace To shew thy selfe to them also As vnto vs thou mean'st to do He that my precepts will obay And keepeth them he loueth me He that doth keepe my word I ●ay Lou'd of my father he shall be What I say therefore marke it well For we will come with him and dwell The comforter the holy Ghost The father will send in my name He will see that no word be lost That out of my mouth euer came Let not your heart be mou'd to feare Peace with you I leaue eu'ry where That I do go and come againe Might giue you cause with heart and voyce To laud the father God certaine And so much more in heart reioyce In that I tell you this before You may beleeue me euermore I will not many things to you Speake after this as I haue donne The Prince of this world commeth now Yet he in me hath nothing wonne But this I do that men may see I loue the father he loues me The Parable of the Vine I am the true and perfect vine My father is an husband man Fach braunch that is not truly mine He cuts away that cut it can And each one that beares fruit in me He makes more fruitfull for to be Through the word I haue spoken now Ye are assuredly made cleane Abide in me and I in you If to beare fruit ye euer meane As branches cut of fruitlesse be So you except you bide in me I am the vine ye branches are He that abideth still in me And I in him he need not care Much fruit in him shall euer be Giue eare and listen hereunto Ye can without me nothing do He that abideth not in me Is cut off as a with'red bough And to the fire cast then is he Where he is punisht sore inough In me abide aske what ye will And your request I will fulfill My father he is glorified In that ye beare much fruit in me And we are both much honored If ye together louing be This ought you greatly thereto moue That I as he lou'd me you loue Sure greater loue can no man beare Then this when one doth for his friend Bestow his life to him so deare Which I do onely to this end To keepe safe mine from all annoy That they in me might still haue ioy Ye are my friends if ye 〈◊〉 serue What I do both command and show The hireling doth his master serue His secrets yet he doth not know All that I of my father heard The same to you I haue declar'd Ye haue not chosen me before I first chose you I tell you plaine To bring forth fruit still more and more And that your fruit it might remaine That what so ye aske in my name My father may giue you the same Loue one another I command The world doth hate you well ye know The cause ye likewise vnderstand Is that I haue so chosen you If they haue persecuted me So persecuted shall you be If they haue kept my word before They will keepe yours hereafter so All those things they and rather more For my name sake to you will do Against me and mine they are bent Not knowing from whom I am sent If I had not come then in deed They should haue had no sinne at all But now haue they no cloake at need To hide their sinne that is not small My father hates who hateth me And they hate both for all they see But it is that the word might be Fulfilled written in their law Without a cause they hated me Of my word they stand not in awe The comforter shall testifie Of me with you assuredly Another Sermon of the Crosse the Disciples comforted with promise of the holy Ghost the comming of Christ againe his Ascention to aske in his name peace in Christ and affliction in the world to such as follow him These things I haue vnto you sayd That ye might not offended be Nor that ye should be much affrayd When from their Sinagogues that ye Be thrust out for they shall you kill And yet thinke that they do Gods will These things they will vnto you do Because that they haue not known me Nor yet the father hitherto These things I say to you that ye May thinke on it for euermore That I haue told you this before I tell it now because I go Hence vnto him that did send me And none of you though grieued so Doth aske of me what ayleth thee Or whither goest thou a way And yet ye sorow all ye may Yet surely this to you say I It is expedient I go For if I go not hence truly The comforter he comes not so As I haue sayd thinke this in heart I will send him when I depart When

witnesses arise And testifie as may appeare A truth against thee to vs here But Iesus yet did hold his peace The high Priest sayd to him againe I charge thee that thou do no lesse By God the Lord but tell it plaine If Christ the sonne of God thou be Then Iesus sayd I sure am he And ye shall see the sonne of man Sitting at the right hand of God Whose power to resist none can Nor of himselfe escape his rod And in the clouds of heau'n shall ye The sonne of man then comming see The high Priest then his clothes did rent And sayd what need we any more Of witnesses for this intent He openly blasphemeth sore What thinke ye then they cried all Death he deserues and dye he shall They mocked Christ that him did hold And spat withall into his face To strike him also they were bold So much they were deuoyd of grace With rods and fists most cruelly They beat and vsd him shamefully Then sayd they to him Prophesie Which of vs all now hath done this And other things as wickedly They did against him then deuise But he most meekely suffred all To bring vs sinners our of thrall Now all this while there at the fire Did Simon sit among them then Another mayd did thus inquire Art not thou one of this mans men Though she affirm'd it to be so Yet he deni'd it saying no. Then they that stood by sayd againe One of them thou most surely art Thy speach bewrayeth thee so plaine Thou canst not hide it for thy heart Then he to curse and sweare began That he did neuer know the man The cocke did crow then once againe For Marke doth say he crowed twise Man of himselfe is verie vaine Peter deny'd his master thrise The cocks crow could not let his fall Till Christ did looke on him withall Then he remembred what was sayd Of Iesus vnto him before And then he went out all affrayd And wept and wayled verie sore Whom late no death could terrifie Perceiu'd then his infirmitie Christ was brought vnto Pylate then President of the Romanes Iudas repentance and death Then in the dawning of the day The high Priests and the Elders did A counsell hold to find some way By death Christ Iesus life to rid Whom thence they led then hastily bound hand and foot most shamefully From Cayphas vnto Pylats hall Iesus condemned so of late They brought bound by their counsell all Re●oycing at his wofull state For they had no authoritie Our Sauiour Christ to crucifie Yet they into the common hall Where Pylate did his iudgement giue Went not themselues least thereby all For so the Iewes did then beleeue Should be defiled and be let Thereby the passeouer to eate While this was doing marke the end That to the traitour Iudas fell He was past grace for to amend He loued Mammon to to well Yet his offence displeasd him so That he was wrapped all in wo. When by his meanes he did perceiue His master was condemn'd to dye An inward griefe he did conceiue And did repent him mightely But his repentance tooke no place For it was voyde of faith and grace The thi●tie siluer peeces he Vnto the high Priest brought againe I sinn'd sayd he and wo is me Which haue procur'd my masters paine It was because you thought it good That I betrayd his guiltlesse bloud What is that vnto vs sayd they Looke thou to that which thou hast done Therein thou didst our hests obey And we will end what is begon In temple he the siluer cast And went and hangd himselfe at last The chiefe Priests tooke the siluer plate And sayd it is not lawfull we Do them put vp such is our state Among our treasure for to be And why the law doth so deuise Because it is of bloud the price Then they tooke counsell and did buy A potters field as did befall For to fulfill the Prophesie To be the strangers buriall Wherefore that field is calld I say The field of bloud vntill this day And to leaue of his tragedie Let vs returne to Christ againe Whom then the Iewes maliciously For to accuse did take such paine On Pylate they did cry and call Though then they went not to the hall Pylate went out to them and sayd What cause bring you against this man The wicked Iewes nothing affrayd For to accuse him thus began An euill doer were not he We would not haue brought him to thee Then Pylate sayd to them againe Take him and iudge him by your law We may not iudge him it is plaine Of Caesar we do stand in awe Christs word this was to verifie When he foretold how he should dye They charged Christ that found he was Peruerting of the people there Forbidding men from place to place To pay their tribute any where Vnto Augustus perswading That he was Christ their onely king As Iesus in the iudgement hall Before the gouernour did stand He sayd to Christ before them all Answer thou this now out of hand Art thou king of the Iewes or no And Iesus sayd thou sayest so The high Priests and thy nation Deliuered thee vnto me Now tell me then what hast thou done That they should so cry out on thee They say thou art a naughtie man Defend thy cause now if thou can Then Iesus sayd my kingdome is Not of this world for if it were My seruants sure would neuer misse To fight for me without all feare Ere I should thus deliuered be Vnto the Iewes as thou doest see Then Pylate sayd art thou a king And Iesus sayd thou sayst I am I was borne for this verie thing For this cause to the world I came And witnesse of the truth to beare My voyce he that loues truth will heare Pylate sent Christ to Herod and they were made friends that day Herod sent Christ backe to Pylate Pylate warned by his wife sought by all meanes to deliuer Christ Then to the high Priests Pylate sayd I find no fault sure in this man Their furie then could not be stayd But fiercely thus they all began He teacheth mouing mightily All and begon at Galilie When Pylate heard of Galilie Is he a Galilean then Sayd he and forthwith hastily Sent Christ to Herod with his men He at Hierusalem then was When all these things came so to passe When Herod saw him he was glad For he desired him to see And so his wish at last he had Which neuer till that time would be Such signes and wonders Herod thought He should haue seene as Christ had wrought He then with Christ there questioned And did him many things demand But Iesus nothing answered For all king Herod could command Though high Priests Scribes and people all Accused Christ in Herods hall Then Herod with his men of warre Mocking Christ him in white array Pylate and Herod were at iarre And were made
