whan they were in Arre they put themselfe vppon the lande and rode vnto the cyte of Iherusalem Where as they lodged them secretely in the hous of a good holy man / the whiche was called Iacob the sage fader of Mary and so iourned there thre dayes ANd whan the Seneshall Gay and his felawes hadde soiourned in the sayd hous of Iacob thre dayes withoute makynge themselfe to be knowen what they were vnto ony body Iacob his host spake vnto hym as foloweth and sayd Syr me thyngeth that you are a man puyssaunt and also dyscrete and noble I beseche you that ye wyll tell me of what couÌ„tree you are / and what ye seke For and yf ye wyll tell me I promyse you for to helpe you with all my power THen the Seneshall Gay answered to Iacob his hoste By god hoste you seme me to be a goode man / and therfore I shall tell it you Knowe that I am the Seneshal of the Emperour of Rome / that is my lorde and yours / and he trusteth moche in me And knowe that Vaspazyan the Emperoure by whom Rome Iherusalem is gouerned / is so taken in the vysage with maladye / and the body soo euyll apparaylled with lepre that he may not sustayne hymselfe / but behoueth hym to lye nyght day And it is a ryght pyteous syght to se hym Of the whiche he and all his folke hathe greate dole / dyspleasure For they can fynde noo surgyens that can hele hym / and gothe euer in empayryng / for the whiche fayre hoost I am come hether For I herde saye speke at Rome of a holy prophete that was named Ihesê° of Nazareth that the Iewes had crucefyed in this cyte / all by enuye / bycause that he dyde many myracles in his lyfe / at his dethe / and after his dethe And I haue sayd vnto my lorde the Emperour that he myght fynde ony thynge that had touched the body of the holy prophete / that incontynent that he sholde haue it / he sholde anone be heled / in asmoche as he had his truste in the holy prophete So that my lorde hathe sent me hether for to se yf I myght fynde ony thynge / that yf I myghte fynde ony thynge for to brynge it hym And therfore fayre host I am come hether for that cause Wherfore I praye you that and ye can gyue me ony couÌ„sayl that ye wyll gyue it me / for ye shall haue grete good / grete honoure of my lorde the Emperour And I swere you that ye shal be for euer a grete lorde in his courte And I praye you that ye hyde me nothyng For of a trouthe I shall not retorne towarde my lorde tyll that I haue founde some thynge SYr sayd Iacob to the Seneshal tell me yf it please you yf my lorde the Emperour byleue not in the holy prophete / and yf that he haue not adoured hyÌ„ as god of heuen that is almyghty And the Seneshal tolde hym that he worshypped the ydoles / and wyll not leue it for nothynge And then Iacob sayd to him Syr retorne you agayn hardyly syth that he byleueth not in the holy prophete the whiche suffred dethe and passyon as I dyd se And also I sawe hym dyscended from the crosse / and put in the monument of the good knyght Ioseph of Armathye / the whiche was his frende And syth I sawe hym whan he was arysen frome deth to lyfe / preche to his appostles and said Go your wayes thorowe the worlde and preche the gospell vnto all the worlde and to euery creature And saye vnto them that who byleueth in the sone of the vyrgyn Marye / and shall be baptysed shal be saued And who that wyll not byleue shal be dampned Wherfore I tel you that and he byleue not in the holy prophete / and worshyp as god almyghty he may not be heled But and he wolde byleue he shall be heled anone / as haue bengrete foyson of other Syr I tel you an exemple There was a lady that was called Vernyque of the couÌ„tre of Galylee And that same lady was so leprous that she durste not fynde herself amonge people / yet hadde she her fayth that the holy prophete Ihesu crist sholde hele her And whan she knewe that the Iewes wold put hym on the crosse / she had ryght grete sorowe came to the mount of Caluary where as the Iewes put Ihesu cryst on the crosse And she sawe there the vyrgyne Marye that behelde as they put her dere sone on the crosse And there was his appostle that was called Iohan the euangelyst with her And Veronyque durste not approche nere them / for bycause of her maladye / cryed and made grete sorowe And then whan the vyrgin Marye sawe her wepe so she made her signe with her hande for to come vnto her And incontynent she came And then the vyrgyn Marye toke a kerchyer that Veronyque bare vpon her heed and put it on the face of Ihesu cryste bycause that he swette And incontynent the semblaunce of the face of Ihesu cryst was portrayed in the sayd kerchyer And the vyrgyn Marye gaue it vnto Veronyque for to he le her HEre sayd Gay the Seneshal this I byleue wel But I praye you that ye wyll sende for the said woman And that she come with me vnto Rome to my lorde the Emperour For I wote well that he wyl byleue in the holy prophete And whan he shall be heled all crystendome shall be exalted by hym And also he shall venge the dethe of the holy prophete ANd then Iacob sente for her by one of his seruauntes / a squyer of Gayes Whan she was come Iacob tolde her how the Emperoure had sente his Seneshall for her / for to come and he le hym at rome of his leprehode And he sayd to her these wordes to the ende that the fayth of Ihesu cryst were exalted And also he tolde her that she sholde brynge the clothe and other thynges yf she hadde ony And Veronyque sayd to hym that she was well contente to go theder / for she byleued that the vertue of Ihesu cryst sholde hele the Emperoure And yf that it myghte be done all the people wolde byleue in Ihesu cryst And whan the Seneshall herde her speke so / he had ryght grete Ioye / and badde that she sholde apparayll her for to departe THen sayd Gay the Seneshall I must speke with Pylate And Iacob answered hym that he wold go with hym gladly And they twayne with theyr coÌ„pany wente for to speke with Pylate So they fouÌ„de hym before the temple of Salamon Then gay the seneshall salued hym in saynge Syr Pylate I am messenger of the Emperour of Rome my lorde and yours And he mauÌ„deth you by me that ye sende hym the trybute of seuen yere that you owe hyÌ„ And knowe that he is euyll
