Saint Paul beheaded THe end of thy appointed race is come And thou must loose thy rev'rend head at Rome This crumme of comfort yet thy spirit fed Thou art the member of another head Mary Magdalens joyes after mourning Mourning now be gone Go seek some other place depart Joy must possesse thy throne Now truly now thou mourning art Her eyes have long rain'd April showers 'T is now full time she crop May flowers S. PETER Peter from petra comes a rock and on This rock the Papists lay foundation This rock so narrow is that there 's no room For those that would be sav'd on it to come 'T will prove a rock but such a rock indeed As will their drowning not salvation breed They build upon the sands their own hopes mock Since Peters self was built on Christ his rock CHRIST to me is gain Crosse others if you wish there should ensue Crosses on crosses multipli'd on you But if you 'll needs be crossing 't is no losse But rather gain for you to learn Christs Χ. PRAYER The Devil a roaring lion seeks each hour Whom he unarm'd may find and so devour Let pray'r our buckler be all night all day Pray that thou beest not made the devils prey Heavenly love Great love no marriage there 's in heav'n above Here is much marrying not a whit of love Soul-comfort Look up to heaven with erected looks Of love my soul thou art much in Gods books On the end of the World

death and Pussion of our Lord and Saviour JESUS CHRIST ANd now the time is come dear Lord is come When not by Pilate's doom but thy fore-doom Thou art to suffer 't was not his decree But thine ordain'd from all Eternity Thy subject man infringed thy Laws just force And thou the Law-giver sustaind'st the curse When we so farre had from thy precepts swerv'd That little we desir'd this lesse deserv'd When we were did in sinne of so deep grain Onely thy dying could us cleanse again When we were all be-purpled o're yet none Could blush at those offences he had done Strange miracle that crimson bloud should so Turn our souls crimson hue to purest snow Beyond expression that he tastes of death Whose breath infus'd in ev'ry creature breath To which sad joyfull narrative we come Drawn by his agonies preludium Our Saviour having sup'd his last 'gan sup The wholesome liquour of the saving cup Which did resemble that his precious bloud Was to be shed for our eternall good Now a more bitter one to drink he hath The dregs of an incensed Fathers wrath Being to quaffe this wormwood-draught alas No mar'l he pray'd the cup from him might passe Now his first conflict comes now drops of bloud Bedew the blushing earth whereon he stood Those precious drops which from him now down glide Usher the streams must issue from his side The inward torments of his soul were great The outward signes whereof was bloudy sweat But greater follow armed soul diers stand With holdberds staves and knotty clubs in hand Ready to seise the prince of peace and he Who could have guards of Angels presently Attending on his summons now can brook To be by mortall creatures pris'ner took O would they bind him never to depart The strongest chain were love to hold the heart Or happy they could they so happy prove Themselves to be tane captives by his love That that had bound them to the peace and so O' th' militant Church they had been souldiers too But Peter not endures it with zeal stir'd Out of his sheath he draws his keen edg'd sword Peter if pleasure thou in swords dost take The Gospels two edg'd sword thy weapon make But he who came to heal his peoples sinnes To heal the high-priests servants eare beginnes Who yet poor creature Gods call could not hear Because alas he wants the inward ear And now the shepherd took the sheep poor sheep Are scatter'd when their pastour doth not keep Himself the shepherd said I he became No more a shepherd now but proves a lambe Whose fleece his servants faults for aye should cover That so his fathers wrath might them passe over He suffers them to leave him and doth make That th' means that he might never them forsake This surely was his deepest grief who here Deserted was of all whom he held dear Accompani'd but how with foes and none But would much rather so be left alone Great are his suff'rings sure heavy his doom Who suffers thus much e're his suff'rings come Yet meek and silent giveth no occasion For any one to think he is in passion Although he be so patient bears his state Though full of passion yet not passionate Judas perditions sonne 't was led the van Of those who came to take the Sonne of man Foul treas'rer who to gain a little pelf Hast treasured up great wrath unto thy self Our Saviour gently yet would call him Friend How much more rightly were he stiled Friend What wicked deed base traitour hast thou done Hast thou no other way to kisse the Sonne Blind Pharisees Christs bounty do not know He 'll give himself they need not buy him so Think you a price for his life can be given Who gives that life a price to purchase heaven The traitour doth not long out-live the fact But he who did incite him to this act Invites him to another to destroy His body make that bear's soul company He hangs himself compleating his sinnes score Who was insnar'd with love of hell before Peter who so of late his Saviour lov'd Now runnes the rock of Peters love is mov'd First led to Annas next to Caiaphas To Pilate twice to Herod once he was Both Jews and Gentiles his condemners be Romans Barbarians seem in cruelty Those who were foes before now think it good First to cement their friendship in his bloud This reconcilements dire foundation Was built on yet without the corner-stone What wonder is it then that we have read Both bloud and building fell upon their head False witnesses were sought whose consciences Witnesse to them how false their witnesse is The temple in three dayes he will destroy And at the three dayes end reedisie Is of his body yours too would you yield Temples unto the holy Ghost would
