Therfore my coumpte lesse shall come to Then those that hath Gods gyftes more hye But yet the least I feare truelye Shall be more then they well may bere Whiche dothe make me my coumpte to feere The cause wherfore that I do make This treatise small only is this Because men may example take Of those whiche did stray farre amisse Assaulting faith that moost true is The cheife of whom as they shall se Did not amonge them selues agree Of whiche my simple enterprise Pardon of all men I do craue For my rude style my wit here tryse Suche wit suche termes alwaye wyll haue Therfore if fautes ye do persceiue Do them correcte as ye cause see Iust cause can no thing displease me Finis WHen Sagittary had dominion The nightes thē being very long and cold I mused on the straunge opinion the which diuers mē did diuersly hold Against our sauiours own wordes plainly tolde Which troubled me so that as it did chaunce With the same study I fell in a traunce Then with that I had a wonderfull dreame In the which me thought Morpheus drue neere And toke me by the hāde with strēgth extreme He drue me furth and bade me nothing feare But go with him and as we going were Let not my cōming quod he the displease For thou shalt finde it shall be for thine ease I know that thou dost sore trouble thi minde With the fondnes of men which thou doest see Aga●nst Christes wordes cauillation to finde The which in the scripture so plaine written be And how one with an other do not agree Is not this thy trouble I pray the tell trewe It is trueth quod I euen as thou dost shewe Well quod he I shall shew the more anone Then came we in to an hall long and wide The like before I neuer loked vpon Most gorgiously hounge it was on eche side With noble storyes which I wyll not hide Wrought in fine arrase with pure silke golde It rauishte my witte this hall to beholde Then did I loke vpon the lefte hande There sawe I the Arke of God purely wrought Of fine golde as it orderly doth stande In the byble whiche seing I me be thought Of the stories ther which to my minde brought What the Arke and all the reste did signifye Whiche on the lifte side of this hall did lye First there I sawe Melchizedech the King Meting Abraham the great Patriarche Frō slaughter of the. iiii kinges for which thīg He offred to God in a mystery darke Breade wine the which thing as I did marke A hande in the cloudes wrote this him before Thou arte a priest it saied for euer more Thē stode ther king Dauid redy w t his penne And wrote it in the spirite of prophecy Pointing to that priest which shuld saue al men Saying thou arte a priest eternally After Melchizedeches order truely The which when I sawe I burnt in desire To se all the rest my hart was on fyre There I sawe howe that the Iewes also Did eate the paschall lambe as God cōmaūded When he did saue them from wicked Pharao Whiche with all his army was there confounded In the rede Sea where he deliuered His people drye foote to shewe his powre great In remēbrance wherof the lambe they did eate Nexte to this story I sawe rychely wrought Howe that Manna from aboue did discende To fede those whō god out of thral had brought Thus God his goodnes to them did extende Kyng Dauid stoode by and this truely pende Prophesieng therby a mystery great Saying man the bread of Angels hath eate A goodly table then sawe I there spreade By the which the high priestes stode honorably And did set theron the holy shewe breade Of the whiche none might eate but they only Then in that place also I did espye Where king Dauid did writ this sentēce cleare God geueth meat to those that him truely feare Thē as I stode musing these thinges to scāne I could not with all my wyttes them define Then came there to me an auncient man Whiche semed to be some noble deuine He bad me mine eares to him incline And he would open to me by and by What all these thinges did truely signifie Of that I was glad and gaue attendaunce To here how he would these figures discusse Whiche he did truely with noble vtteraunce And first of the Arke his saying was thus The Arke quod he whiche is so glorious Doth signifye Christ his churche be thou sure Which hath in it the swete Manna most pure This Manna is the holy sacrament Of the blessed body and bloud of our Lord Whiche he lefte here to be permanent As a pledge most sure of our soules comford Aarons rodde also doth signifie his worde By the whiche his churche is gouerned here But by Manna is figurde his body most nere Secondly where Melchizedech the king Brought furth breade and wine before Abrahā That did signifie Christes holy offryng Whiche he offred when he to his maundy came Christes order of priesthod cōsisteth in the same Sith Melchizedeches order in his sacrafice Was none other but that scripture plaine trise And where he saieth thou art a priest for euer Did not only signifie Christes eternitee But also his order whiche ende shall neuer Whiche he ordained here at his maundie Fulfylling Melchizedeches order truely Yet is he the priest which doth worke this thinge In his ministers dayly ministring Stay there sir quod I by your pacience Did Melchizedeches order only consyst
