forfettyth ageyÌ„st god for he sayd hym selfe that he is goddys son For whan we counioured hyÌ„ that he sholde tell vs yf he were the sone of god And he denyed it not And yet he sayd we sholde se the son of man syttyÌ„ge vpoÌ„ the ryght hande of the godhede comynge oute of the skyes of heuyn And whan that Pylat herde this he ledde our lorde Ihesu on that other parte of the pareloure sayd to our lorde Man I ne wat what I maye do with the. ¶ Than sayd our lorde Ihesu to Pylate Moyses and the prophetys here byfore they prechyd of my passyon and of my resurreccyon Whan that Pylate herde this he pronowced all the wordes of our lorde to the Iewes And anone the Iewes sayd to Pylat what woldest thou here more of his fals sclauÌ„der Than sayd Pylate take hym in to your synagoge And deme there on hym your lawe the Iewes answered / our lawe coÌ„maundeth that yf any man syn or trespasse ayeÌ„st any maÌ„ he shall withdrawe hym .xlii. dayes out of the Temple And he that syÌ„ned or tresspassed ageyÌ„st god by sclauÌ„ders Our lawe byddeth that he shal be stonyd to deth And for asmoche as Ihesê° sayeth that he shall syt iÌ„ heuyÌ„ vpoÌ„ the ryght syde of the deuyne maieste And that he shall coÌ„e fro heuyÌ„ iÌ„ to the skyes For this sclauÌ„der we wyll that he be crucyfyed ThaÌ„ sayd Pylat that is not good that ye cast you for to do And than Pylat by helde aboute hyÌ„ sawe meny meÌ„ wymeÌ„ that sore wepce And helde ther couÌ„tenauÌ„ce vpoÌ„ hyÌ„ thaÌ„ sayd pylat to the bysshoppys maysters of the lawe I se well the mekyll of the peple they wyl not that thê maÌ„ dye ThaÌ„ sayd the maysters of the lawe Good Iuge we se well that he must be deed And for drede of deth worse he maye not leue Than sayd Pylate / what is the cause that he sholde be deed for thaÌ„ sayd the Iewes for that he sayeth that he is goddys sone aÌ„d therto a kyÌ„ge ¶ Howe Nychodemê° spake to Pylate for Ihesu Pylatte Nychodemê° the worthye Prynce / was that tyÌ„e afore Pylat thê° he sayd I haue ofte tymes spoke to the masters of the lawe aÌ„d to al the Iewes thê° I haue sayd vnto theÌ„ that vngodely vntrewly they do a mysse ayeÌ„st Ihesu For many gloryous sygnes tokyÌ„s hathe he wrought amoÌ„ge vs / that neuer none of oure forfaders wrought afore vs therfore I couÌ„sell you let hyÌ„ go do hyÌ„ no more harme For yf the tokyns the myracles be of god that he hath wrought it shall endlesly endure after his dayes yf it be not of god but by eÌ„chauÌ„temeÌ„te or by soÌ„e charme yt shalle not endure ¶ For moyses that was of god he shewed meny tokens in Egypt whiche that god bad hym do afore kynge Pharao than were there two men Iames. and zambres whiche that were Gogolers aÌ„d wyches that deceyued the peple they made the same tokyns that Moyses made And the Egypcyons helde the tokyÌ„s of god And for they were not of god they perysshed And all that euer helde withall And therfore I saye let this maÌ„ go And do hym no more harme for I saye forsoth he is not worthy to be dede And parauenture this Ihesus maye be a prophet sente to vs as Moyses sayd to our forfaders that our lorde god sholde chese and sende a prophet of our owne nacyon And that we sholde here byleue hym as god his owneselfe And parauenture thê maye be the same man that god sayd thus of And this Ihesus be the same man sente of god he is come to the saluacyon of them that byleue truly And to the dampnacyon of them that beleue not ryght as our lorde god sayd vnto Moyses that yf any man refuse the prophet And wyll not here what he shall say in my name he shall be put out of my people All this haue I sayd vnto the Prynces and Bysshoppes of the lawe whan that the Iewes herde this that Nycodemus sayd afore Pylat they sayd thus we se well that thou arte a dyscyple of Ihesu aÌ„d therfore thou spekyst for hym Than sayd Nycodemus to the Iewes a than is not thys lorde Pylat here a dyscyple of Ihesu that hath spoke thus for hym is not he the hyghe Iustyce vnder Cezare the Emperour whaÌ„ the Iewes herde this thaÌ„ they sayd to Nycodemus ye take thou the trouth of Ihesu And more thou haue thy dwellynge place with hym Than lyfted vp Nycodemus hys handys to heuen and sayd God graunt that I maye haue parte of the trouthe of Ihesu And a dwellynge place more I haue with hym god grauÌ„te it as ye haue sayd so more it be ¶ Howe certayne Iewes shewed to Pylate the myracles that Cyrste had done ANd anone there sterte forth a Iewe afore Pylate And thus he sayd My lorde Pylate I laye bedredde in my bedde .xxxviii. yere And all the dayes for the moste parte in ê‘yll of deth And so it befell that my lorde Ihesu came by me had pyte on me And than he had me take my bedde and go home into my howe 's And anone with his wordes / I was made hole And anone after came another Iewe afore Pylate and thus he sayd My lorde Pylate I was pore blyÌ„de And as my lorde Ihesu passed afore me I cryed vnto hyÌ„ And sayd Ihesu the son of Dauyd haue mercy on me And he had mercy oÌ„ me And he put his hande to myn eyen and than I sawe ¶ And thaÌ„ another Iewe that stode afore Pylate sayd Syr I was a mezell and my lorde Ihesu made me hole with his worde ¶ After that came an agyd woman afore Pylate aÌ„d thus she sayd My lorde Pylate I was desezed with the red flyx .iii. yere and more And I dede not but touchyd the hem of the vesture of my lorde Ihesu And anone I was made hole of my maladye and therfore my lorde Pylate haue marcy on hym and do hym not to deth And whan that Pylate herde this / he feryd / And anone a grete coÌ„panye of Iewes whyche that our lorde Ihesu had helyd they cryed al with on voyce A grete Sauyour of the peple is our lorde Ihesu Whan Pylate herde this he sayd vnto Cayphas and Amyas And other maysters of the lawe I merueyl why that your forme faders and prynces and Bysshoppys of the lawe helyd not men of theyr Infyrmytees as this man doth And they answered no worde therto And these men that our lorde had helyd cryed with one voyce Oure blysshyd Lorde Ihesu hath wrought many deuyne myracles as he that reysed Lazare / fro deth to lyfe Whyche that had layne dede foure dayes in the erth And our lorde Ihesu by the vertu of his worde he reysed hym oute of the moÌ„ment and brought hym alyue amonge vs his sustres And dyde hym syt wyth hym at hys table / And whan that Pylate herde this he
