he that dippeth hys hand with me in the disshe thesame shall betraye me The sonne of manne truly goeth as it is wrytten of hym but woe vnto that man by whom the sonne of man is betrayed It had been

praye yonder And he tooke with him Peter and the two sonnes of zebede and began to waxe sorowful and heauy Then sayde Iesus vnto them My soule is heauy euen vnto the death Tarye ye here and watche

and the sonne of man is betrayed into the handes of synners Ryse let vs bee goyng beholde he is at hand that dooeth betraye me Whyle he yet spake loe Iudas one of the noumbre of the .xii. came and with hym a greate multitude with sweordes and staues sente from the chyefe Priestes and Elders of the people But he that beetrayed hym gaue them a token saying whomesocuer I kysse the same is he holde hym faste And forthwith he came to Iesus and sayd Hayle Master and kyssed hym And Iesus sayde vnto hym frende wherfore art thou come Then came they and layde handes on Iesus and toke hym And beholde one of them that were with Iesus stretched out his hand and drewe his sweorde and stroke a seruaunt of the hye Priestes and smote of his eare Then said Iesus vnto him put vp thy sweord into the sheath for all they that take the sweord shall perish with the sweord Thinkest thou that I cannot now praye to my father and he shall geue me euen nowe more then .xii. legions of Aungels But howe then shall the scriptures bee fulfilled For thus must it bee In thatsame houre sayde Iesus to the multitude ye bee come out as it were to a thefe with sweordes and staues for to take me I sate daylye with you teaching in the temple and ye toke me not But all thys is done that the scriptures of the Prophetes myghte bee fulfylled Then all the disciples forsoke hym and fled And they tooke Iesus and led hym to Cayphas the hye Prieste where the Scribes and the Elders were assembled But Peter folowed hym afarre of vnto the hye Priestes palace and wente in and satte with the seruauntes to see the ende The chiefe Priestes and Elders and all the counsell sought false witnes agaynst Iesus for to put hym to death but founde none yea when many false witnesses came yet founde they none At the laste came .ii. false wytnesses and said This felow sayed I am hable to destroye the temple of God and to builde it agayne in three dayes And the chiefe Priest arose and sayd vnto hym aunswerest thou nothing Why doe these beare wytnes agaynst thee but Iesus helde his peace And the chief Priest aunswered and sayd vnto him I charge thee by the liuing God that thou tell vs whether thou be Chryste the sonne of God Iesus sayd vnto hym thou hast said Neuertheles I saye vnto you hereafter shall ye see the sonne of man sytting on the ryghte hande of power and commyng in the cloudes of the skye Then the hie Prieste rente hys clothes saying he hath spoken blasphemye what nede we of any more witnesses Beholde nowe ye haue hearde hys blasphemy what thynke ye They aunswered and sayd he is worthy to dye Then did they spit in his face and buffeted him with fistes And other smote hym on the face with the palme of theyr handes saying tell vs thou Christ who is he that smote thee Peter sate without in the courte and a damosell came to hym saying thou also waste with Iesus of Galile but he denied before them all saying I wote not what thou saist When he was gone out into the porche another wenche sawe hym and sayed vnto them that were there This felow was also with Iesus
ryghteousenesse and am of power to helpe Wherfore then is thy clothyng redde and thy rayment like his that treadeth in the wyne presse I haue troden the presse my selfe alone and of all people there is not one with me Thus will I treade down myne enemies in my wrath and set my feete vpon them in myne indignacion And theyr bloud shall bespryng my clothes and so will I stayne all my rayment For the day of vengeaunce is assigned in my heart and the yeare whē my people shal be delyuered is come I loked aboute me and there was no man to shewe me any helpe I merueiled that no man helde me vp Then I helde me by myne owne arme and my feruentnes sustayned me And thus will I treade downe the people in my wrathe and bathe them in my displeasure and vpon the earth will I lay theyr strength I will declare the goodnes of the Lord yea and the prayse of the Lorde for all that he hath geuen vs for the greate good that he hath done for Israel whyche he hathe geuen them of hys owne fauor and accordyng to the multitude of hys louing kindnes For he sayd these no doubt are my people and no shrinking children and so he was theyr sauiour In their troubles he was also troubled with them the Aungel that went furth from his presence deliuered them Of very loue and kindnes that he had vnto them he redemed them He hath borne them and caryed them vp euer sence the worlde began But after they prouoked him to wrath and vexed hys holy mynde he was theyr enemy and fought agaynst them himselfe Yet rememberd Israel the olde time of Moyses and his people saying where is he that broughte them from the water of the sea with them that fede hys shepe where is he that hath geuen hys holye spiryte among them he ledde them by the ryghte hād of Moses with his glorious arme deuiding the water before them wherby he gat himselfe an euerlastyng name he led them in the depe as an horse is led in the playne that they should not stumble as a tame beaste goeth in the fielde the breath geuen of God geueth hym reste Thus O god haste thou led thy people to make thy selfe a glorious name withall Loke downe then from heauen behold the dwellyng place of thy sāctuary and thy glory How is it that thy gelousy thy strength the multitude of thy mercyes and thy louyng kindnes will not be entreated of vs yet art thou our father For Abrahā knoweth vs not neither is Israel acquaynted with vs. But thou lord art our father redemer and thy name is euerlastyng O lord wherfore hast thou led vs out of thy way wherfore hast thou hardned our heartes that we feare thee not Be at one with vs agayne for thy seruauntes sake and for the generacion of thyne heritage Thy people haue had but a lytle of thy Sanctuary in possessiō for our enemies haue trodē downe the holy place And we were thyne from the

within themselues and said what neded this waste of oyntmente for it might haue been solde for more then three hundreth pence and haue been geuen vnto the poore And they grudged agaynst her And Iesus sayde lette her alone why trouble ye her She hath done a good woorke on me for ye haue poore with you alwayes and whensoeuer ye wyll ye may doe them good but me haue ye not alwayes She hath done that she coulde she came aforehande to annoynte my body to the burying Verely I saye vnto you wheresoeuer thys Gospell shal be preached throughout the whole world this also that she hath done shal be
