thystory to se what ende Iudas made that betrayer I shall here put to his departynge when Iudas se his mayster was lykly to be condemned to deathe then beganne he to repente hym then heuenes touched

shede thynnocent bloude but the price therof durste they not myngle with theyr other monye that was offred to them thus do hipocrites strayne oute a gnatte swalowe ouer a camell wherfore these vntowarde and ouertwhart religious men caste theyr frowarde heades to gyder and bought a felde of a Potter with the mony to burye in straūgers and for this cause the felde was called ī theyr mother

Pilate was somwhat offended and bad them procede with hym as they had begonne to iudge hym after theyr owne lawes and they denyed that it was lawfull for them to slaye any man And thus was it ordeined
