The Wandring Jew OR The Shoomaker of Ierusam w●o lived when our Sauiour Christ was crucified and appoynted by him to live untill his comming againe To the tune of The Ladies Fall WHen as in faire Jerusalem our Saviour Christ did live And for the sins of all the world his owne deare life did give The wicked Jewes with scoffs and scornes did daily him molest That never till he left his life out Saviour could have rest When they had crown'd his head with thorns and scourg'd him in disgrace In scornfull sort they led him forth unto his dying place Where thousand thousands in the street beheld him passe along Yet not one gentle heart was there that pittied thus his wrong Both old and young reviled him as in the streets he went And nothing found but churlish taunts by every ones consent His owne dear Crosse he bore himselfe a burthen far too great Which made him in the streets to faint and blood and water sweat Being weary thus he sought to rest and ●ase his burthen'd Soule Vpon a stone the which a wretch did churlishly controule And said away thou King of Jewes thou shalt not rest thee here Passe o● thy execution place thou see'st now draweth neére And hereupon he thrust him thence at which our Saviour said I sure will rest but thou shall walke and have no journey staid With that this cursed Shoomaker for offering Christ this wrong Left Wife and Children house and all and went from thence along Where after he had seene the blood of Jesus Christ thus shed And to the Crosse his body nayld away with speed he fled Without returning back againe unto his dwelling place But wandering up and downe the world a runnagate most base The Second part to the same tune NO resting could he find at all no ease of hearts content No house no home nor byding place but wandring forth he went From Town to Town in forraign Lands with grieved Conscience still Repenting sore the hainous guilt of his fore-passed ill Thus after some few Ages past in wandring up and downe He much againe desir'd to sée Jerusalems renowne But finding it all quite destroy'd he wandred thence with woe Our Saviours words which he had spoke to verifie and show I le rest saith he but thou shalt walke so doth this wandring Jew From place to place but cannot stay for seeking Countries new Declaring still the power of him whereas he comes and goes And of all things done in the East since Christ his death he showes The world he hath halfe compast round and seene those Nations strange That hearing of the Name of Christ their Idoll gods doe change To whom he hath told wondrous things of times fore-past and gone And to the Princes of the world declares his cause of mone Desiring still to be dissolv'd and yeeld his mortall breath But yet the Lord hath thus decréed he shall not yet sée death For neither lookes he old or young but as he did those times When Christ did suffer on the Crosse for mortall sinners Crimes He passed many a forraigne place Arabia Aegypt Africa Grecia Syria and great Thrace and through all Hungaria Where Paul and Peter preached Christ those blest Apostles de●re Where he hath told our Saviours words in Countries farre and neere And lately in Bohemia with many a German Towne And now in Flanders as is thought he wandreth up and downe Where learned men with him confers of these his lingring ●ayes And wondring much to heare him tell his journeys and his wayes If people giveth this Jew an Almes the most that he will take Is not above a Groat a time which he for Iesus sake Will kindly give unto the poore and thereof make no spare Affirming still that Iesus Christ of him hath dayly care He nere was séene to langh nor smile but wéepe and make great mone Lamenting still his miseries and dayes for-past and gone If he heard any one blaspheme and take Gods Name in vaine He tells them that they crucifie their Master Christ againe If you had séene him dye sayes he as these mine eyes have done Ten thousand times a day would ye his torments thinke upon And suffer for his sake all pains all torments and all woes These are his words and this his life whereas he comes and goes FINIS Printed for E.
