law he teacheth a doctrine All holy Religion he doth detest The reuerend bishops and you the pharisies He calleth hipocrites and doth you reuile So he doth the doctours and scribes of all degrees â–ª Beside that the Saboth also he doth defile He vseth as great blasphemie as euer was The sonne of the lyuyng God he doth hymself call He saith that he is the very same Messias Prophecied before of the Prophets all I promise you right worshipfull Simon Your temple lawe and people shal be made captiue If in this sort he be suffred alone And you shall lose all your prerogatiue Simon We the fathers of the clergie diuers seasons About hym haue consulted together To destroy hym we haue alleaged reasons But many thyngs therin we do consider His doctrine is maruellous this is true And his workes are more maruellous doubtlesse If as yet we should chaunce hym to pursue Muche inconuenience might chaunce and distresse The people do hym for a great Prophete take He doth so muche good among them that be sicke That they wote not what on hym to make For he healeth bothe the madde and the lunatike Malicioê° iudge Me thinke verily that it doth you behoue Which are men of learnyng and intelligence His doctrine and miracles wisely to proue And whence he had them to haue experience Simon By my faith I wil tell you what was my pretence To haue bidden him to dyner this day I thought Where we would haue examined his science And by what power suche wonders he wrought But if I can not haue hym in my house this day I will appoynt an other day for the same cause Then will we appoint for hym some other way If we fynd hym contrary to our lawes Malicioê° iudge Ne credas tempori trust not the tyme he doth say I feare that you will permitte hym to long There is euer peryll in muche delay Neuer suffre you to raigne ought that is wrong Simon Well seyng that at this tyme he doth not appere I will returne hence as fast as I may Take you the payne a whyle to tary here To see if he chance at any tyme to come this way Or if you here where he is resident Let vs haue worde as fast as euer you can Malicioê° iudge As concernyng your request I will be diligent To doe you pleasure euermore I am your man It shall cost me a fall I promise hym truely Except I bryng hym shortly to an ende Watche for hym will I in all places duely I will know what the marchant doth intende A beggerly wretch that hath not of his owne One house or cabyn wherin he may rest his heade His parents for poore laboring folks ar wel known And haue not y e things which shold stand theÌ„ in stede No man knoweth where he lerned went to schoole And yet he taketh vpon hym to teache men doctrine But within a while he will proue him selfe a foole And come to vtter destruction and ruine Is he able thynke you to withstande So many bishops priestes and pharisies Great learned men and seniors of the lande With other people that be of their affinites His foly by his presumption he doth declare A while we are content that he doth raigne But I trust to make him wearie of his welfare If I may see hym in this countrey agayne Infidelitie Ha ha ha laugh quod he laugh I must in dede I neuer sawe a bolder harlot in my life To prompt hir forward we shall not nede No poynt of synne but that in hir is rife Malicioê° iugemâ—t Infidelitie what a diuell doest thou here I had not knowen thee but by thy voyce Infidelitie Malicious iudgement I pray thee what chere To see thee mery at my heart I doe reioyce Malicioê° iudge What a diuell meanest thou by this geare This garment is not of the wonted fashion Infidelitie For euery day I haue a garment to weare Accordyng to my worke and operation Among the Pharisies I haue a Pharisies gown Among publicans and synners an other I vse I am best I tell thee now both in citie and towne And chiefly among the people of the Iewes This is the cause their Messias whoÌ„ Christ they call Is come into the world sinners to forgeue Now my labour is both with great and small That none of them do hym nor his wordes beleue The bishops pharisies I make y e more hard harted The synnes of them that are disposed to synne I augment so that they can not be conuerted So that hard it will be any grace to wynne Malicioê° iudge Among them Malicious iudgemeÌ„t is not my name The true intellection of the law they doe me call Carnally I cause them to vnderstand the same And accordyng to their owne malice to iudge all Infidelitie Thou knowest that among theÌ„ I am Iustice lega For by the dedes of the law they will be iustified So that the doctrine of the Messias euangelicall Shalbe despised and he therfore crucified Malicioê° iugemeÌ„t The reuerend father Simon the Pharisie To haue spoken with him euen now was here Under the pretence of frendship and amitie He would bid him to diner and make him good chere Not for any good-will that to hym he doth owe But to proue his fashion learnyng and power Good will quod he â–ª No no that I do know Infidelitie For yf they durst he should die within this houre But let this passe I will tell thee what I haue done Knowest thou not a wench called Mary Magdalene Malicioê° iudge Yes mary I dyd see her yesterday at noone A pretie wenche she is in deede and a cleane Infidelitie I haue brought her now into suche a case That she is past the feare of God and shame of man She worketh priuily in euery place Yea and prouoketh other therto now and than I would thou dydst see hir disposition Thou hast not sene hir like I think in thy dayes Malicioê° iudge If she haue tasted of thy erudition I doubt not but she knoweth all wicked ways To se her fashion I would bestowe my forty pence But at this tyme I can no longer tary here About my busynesse I must depart hence Seekyng for the same Christ both farre and nere Infideli Uery little I hope for his commoditie To doe hym any good doest thou intende Thou knowest my mynde right well Infidelitie â–ª What nede we any more tyme to spende Farewell thou wilt come to â—â—â—er to day Maister Symon will haue him if it be possible Infidelitie Thou knowest that I dwell with such men alway For in his heart I am euen now inuisible Well remembred yet I must prouide a garment Agaynst that I come to my master Symon About the which the preceptes of the testament Must be written in order one by one Nowe will I returne to my minion againe I may not from hir be away absent If hir companie I should a litle refraine I knowe well that she would not be content Mary Horeson
