What man shall haue a sillie sheepe Fall in a pit and lye in payne If it were worst of all he keepe And will not on the Sabboth day Haue care to fetch it thence away How much more may a man be then Preferd before a sheepe I pray There is no law forbiddeth men To do good on a Sabboth day Stretch forth said Christ thy withered hand This heard they all that there did stand It was restored to him so And all the people saw the same It fild the Pharisies with woe Which sought for to eclipse his fame And they went out with litle ioy Deuising Christ for to destroy For they had missed their intent Which made them rage so much the more To trappe him in his words they meant Yet fayl'd as they had done before His worthy works they did despise And went his death for to deuise But he that knew their meaning well Departed thence and went away He needed not that man should tell That they sought how they might him slay His fathers will he did respect And he his works did well effect Great multitudes him followed thence And he likewise them healed all Each one that came in his presence And vnto him for helpe did call Yet charged them they should not tell Or make him knowne if they did well Esayas Prophecie tooke place My seruant whom I chose ywis And my beloued full of grace In whom my soule delights is this My spirite put on him I will And he shall iudge the Gentiles still He shall not striue in word or deed None in the street shall heare his voyce He shall not breake a bruised reed The Gentiles shall in him reioyce Yea smoaking flaxe quench shall not he Till he both iudge and victor be Christ then had twise refelled such Opinions fond as they did hold At first they had presumed much And then againe did seeme as bold The Sabboth lets no man at need His wants supply or do good deed Iesus seeing the multitude dispersed as sheepe hauing no shepheard tooke compassion on them And Iesus Christ did not ceasse then But went about to eu'ry place In townes and Cities among men To preach and he was full of grace He healed each disease they had All men of him were very glad But when he saw the multitude He tooke on them compassion The people seemed very rude And wanting consolation For all abroad they scattered were As sheepe that had no shepheard there The haruest great and the labourers few The haruest is surely said he Now very great yet few I say Do labour in the same pray ye The Lord thereof to send away Some labourers for to take paine That by his haruest he may gaine Christ called his xij Apostles and sent them forth to preach giuing them power to worke miracles and heale diseases Then his Disciples Christ did call Power to them he gaue and grace That vncleane spirites they should all Cast out of men in eu'ry place As free you haue so likewise deale All sicke-men freely see you heale Twelue Iesus did send fotth to preach And did command them saying so Among the Gentiles them to teach Or to Samaria do not go To the lost sheepe of Israell Go first of all these newes to tell Say ye and teach that now at hand The kingdome of our God doth come Saluation throughout the land Is surely sent to all and some To all that will beleeue say ye That they the same shall shortly see Heale ye the sicke the leapers clense Raise vp the dead the deuils out cast And see when ye depart from hence Ye freely giue from first to last And in your iourney take no care What weeds ye weare or how ye fare What house or Citie ye come to Among the worthy there remaine Till you from thence haue cause to go Let them with you in peace retaine Such as do not deserue this grace Shake of their dust in the same place That dust shall witnesse against those That you desired not their wealth And earthly treasure that they chose Before this proffred sauing health They in the iudgement sure shall gaine Of Sodome and Gomorh the paine As sheepe I send you simple men In midst of worldly wolues to go Be ye as wise as Serpents then And innocent as doues also To kings and counsels for my sake When you are brought no thought then take For what ye speake it is not ye When torments for you do remaine The holy Ghost in you shall be To guide your speach and ease your paine The father shall the sonne said he And friend his friend betray for me Ye shall be hated for my name But he that dureth to the end Shall saued be and voyde of blame From persecution you defend From Citie to another go If you haue need for to do so For the Disciple is not sure Nor the seruant his Lord aboue Like death if you as I endure A signe it is of perfect loue If Beelzebub they do call me Is it strange then you so should be Nothing is hid but that shall I Make manifest and what ye heare In secret preach it openly Of men ye need not stand in feare Feare him that soule and body may Destroy in hell feare him I say If that a sparow shall not fall Nor any haire of yours decay But that your father cares for all And ouer all doth beare a sway Why should you care or be afrayd You shall be sure to haue his ayde Who so shall me on earth confesse Or me deny before men here Shall haue the like and nothing lesse In heau'n before my father there For my cause peace must needs decay And dearest friends their friends shall slay Who father friend his sonne or wife Doth loue more then he loueth me Who so my Crosse to saue his life Doth not take vp but seeks to flye The one vnworthy of me is The other shall not scape ywis He that receiueth you or me Receiueth him that vs hath sent A Prophet who receiueth he Reward shall haue to his content These litle ones who doth relieue God sure to him reward will giue Christes Sermon at the sending forth of his Apostles to preach When Iesus had then made an end Of giuing these commandements To his whom he then forth did send To teach the Iewes good documents The place he stood in was a plaine And with him many did remaine Yea multitudes of people were Out of all Iurie standing by From Tyre and Sydon they were there To heare his doctrine verely And at his hands to haue reliefe Each one as he was painde with griefe And they that with fowle spirits sore Tormented were Christ heal'd them all And still they sought him more and more Which boldly durst not on him call To touch his vesture as he went For health thereby to them was sent Then Iesus

lifted vp his eyes On his Disciples saying this Ye poore are blessed euen thrise For yours Gods kingdome surely is Ye that now hunger blessed are You shall be sure of better fare And ye that weepe yet blessed are For ye shall likewise laugh againe When men hate you take ye no care And when they do procure your paine Nor yet when they you separate Reuiling at your base estate If for the sonne of mans sake they Your names put out as euill men Reioyce ye greatly God obay And be in heart glad of it then Behold in heau'n reward haue ye The Prophets were as now ye be But woe to them that rich are here And do repose thereon their trust The day will come it shall appeare They dearly bought vile earth and dust In heau'n true treasure may be found Each thing corrupts that growes in ground Woe be to you that now are full For yee shall hunger after this If you were not exceeding dull For meate ye would not morgage blisse Woe be to you that now laugh so For you shall waile and weepe for wo. Woe be to you whom men do praise And speake well of deseruing ill When yee haue spent out all your dayes You shall bewray what was your will False Prophets were by like deuise Among your elders had in price But vnto you which heare I say Your enemies see that yee loue To them that hate you if ye may Shew how my doctrine doth you moue To do them good and blesse withall And pray for them that wish your fall To him that smiteth thee also Vpon one cheeke the other giue Who so thy cloake would take thee fro Giue him thy coate and do not grieue To purchase so a quiet life And stirre thou no debate or strife Giue eu'ry man that asketh thee And he that takes thy goods away By force or fraude how so it be Aske thou them not againe I say But vnto other men so do As thou wouldst be of them done to If that ye loue do good or lend To them that do requite the same Each sinner so doth for his friend You should do more then such for shame Be mercifull to such as need For so your father is indeed Christ healed the Centurions seruant being absent the Centurions faith After that Christ had finished His Sermon as you heard before From thence he likewise hastened For he desired more and more The worke he had in hand to end Which for our good did wholly tend As Capernaum he came to A Captaine there a Gentile borne Made for his seruant much adoe That seemed then a man forlorne He su'd by meanes his health to haue Christ with a word his life did saue The Captaines great humility And faith our Sauiour did commend In Israëll then certainly Like praise to none he did extend Of these said Christ shall many come To heau'n and haue the childrens roome Christ raised from death the widowes sonne at Naijm The next day after Christ did raise The widows sonne to life againe And all the people gaue God praise That present then did there remaine All they did spread abroad his fame That either saw or heard the same Iohn Baptists message to Christ by two of his disciples Iohn Baptist was in prison cast Herodias had obtaind the same And his disciples came in hast And told him there of Iesus fame Yet he in prison as before Would winne to Christ disciples more For when his workes to him were told That his disciples might beleeue In Iesus Christ Iohn said behold A message vnto you I giue Iohn knew him well assuredly As he oft times did testifie But that his might also perceiue That Christ the true Messiah was Of whom they should all grace receiue In whom they might all truth embrace Go ye and say Iohn sent to thee To aske if thou be euen he They went and both to Iesus came And said to him our maister sent To know if thou be sure the same Or else another that is meant Men knew as then that Christ should come How when or where that knew but some Christs answer sent backe to Iohn by his disciples Go back said Christ to Iohn againe Shew him what yee do heare and see The blinde and halt are rid of paine The leapers and the deafe go free The dead are raised vp this day The poore the gospell beare away And therewithall to them he gaue A gentle admonition His humblenesse that they might haue In reu'rent estimation Blessed said Christ shall that man be That taketh no offence by me Christs testimonie of Iohn Baptist When they were gone then Christ began To speake vnto the company What went yee out to see a man Infected with inconstancie Iohn you in wildernesse did finde Not as a reede shakt with the winde What went ye then out for to see A man cloathed in soft raiment Such men in kings courts vse to be Iohn is with meaner weed content Iohns raiment showes him to be plaine He flattred not he could not faine But what went yee out then to see A prophet I say to you more Of whom is written this is he My messenger shall go before This is Elias whom they say Should come for to prepare the way No greater among men did rise Then Iohn the Baptist verely Not any that you can deuice Yet this I say assuredly The least in heau'n goes him before And doth enioy Gods graces more Gods kingdome suffreth violence Since Iohns time to this very day The Gentiles with all diligence Without the law new cald obay The lawe and Prophets haue their end For he is come whom yee attend He that hath eares to heare may heare Marke what I say therefore amend Sith that Elyas did appeare The law and Prophets made an end Yet you remaine both deafe and blind That may your true Messiah find Christ reprooueth his auditorie This generation it is Like children that their fellowes call And say we piped haue iwis And yet yee daunced not at all So you deferre from day to day For to repent for all we say Hard was the life that Iohn did lead For meate and drinke he tooke no care He had a deuill men supposed The sonne of man they do compare With gluttons and with drunkards when He eateth meat as other men Christ vpbraideth the vnthankefull citties wherein he had taught and done so many miracles and yet they repented not Then Christ began for to vpbraid The citties that so oft had seene His workes and yet for all delaid For to repent as they had beene Cleane void of sinne or had no will To learne the good and leaue the ill Chorazin wo be vnto thee And to Bethsayda woe likewise The great works that were done by me In you yee greatly did despise If they in Tyrus had bene done It had repented long agone If Tyre and Sidon had I say

loue In them you dye departing hence Except your faith vnfained be And ye beleeue that I am he Who art thou then said they againe The same said he I told before And many things of you remaine To say and iudge that grieue me sore Yet true is he that sent me here Whose words to speake I do not feare They vnderstood not he spoke this To them as of the father then When ye lift vp the sonne iwis Then shall I be well knowne to men That of my selfe I do nor say But as my father makes the way For he that sent me is with me The father left me not alone My doings all directeth he Him please I and we both are one As he spake these things many were That then beleeued on him there Christ said to those that did beleeue In my word if ye do abide Ye my Disciples are I giue You knowledge of the truth beside And the same truth shall make you free That are so ioynd in league with me They said we be of Abrahms seed And neuer yet to any bound Why sayst thou then ye shall be freed As we had bene in slau'rie found I say said he who so doth sinne Sinnes seruant is it wraps him in Of freedome or the difference betweene the sonne and the seruant The seruant doth but soiourne here The sonne doth in the house abide They that the sonne shall free are cleare And shall be free at eu'ry tide I know ye are of Abrahms seede Ye seeke to kill me yet in deede And why in you can take no place My words I speake that I haue seene With my father you voyde of grace With your father to long haue beene Ye follow him the deuill I say And therefore seeke ye me to slay Abrah'm said they our father is Christ said if ye his children were Ye would his works then do not this Ye would to kill me stand in feare This did not Abraham sure I haue Told you the truth which God me gaue Your fathers works you do in deed They said of fornication We were not borne we are Gods seed And other father haue we none If God were he ye would loue me For I came forth from God said he I came not of my selfe but sent My talke why do you not perceiue Because my word with good intent Ye do not heare nor yet receiue The deu'll your father is whose lust You do and in him onely trust A murtherer he euer was And did the truth most deadly hate For lyes all other he doth passe This is your fathers dreadfull state Because I tell the truth said he Ye wickedly beleeue not me Who can of sinne rebuke me here The truth why do ye not beleeue He heareth Gods word with much feare That is of God and so doth liue Ye heare it not therefore said he Because of God none of you be The Iewes then answering said againe Samaritan deuill thou hast I haue no deuill I tell you plaine My father whom away ye cast I honour ye dishonour me Which your decay no doubt will be And I seeke not so much my prayse But there is one that seeks the same And iudgeth you and all your wayes Whose iudgement you may neuer blame The man that keeps my word I say Shall see no death nor dying day A deu'll we know thou hast in deed For Abraham is dead and gone So did the Prophets likewise speed And yet thou sayst there shall not one That keeps thy word death tast or see But from his dart thou keepst him free Then Abraham which now is dead And all the Prophets dead also Whose fame so farre abroad was spread Art thou greater then they or no Whom makest thou thy selfe to be Tell vs that we may honour thee Iesus said if I honour me My honour is nought worth at all My father doth the same said he Which you your God in vaine do call Ye know him not but him know I If I said no then should I lye I know him and his word I keepe Your father Abrahm did reioyce To see before he fell on sleepe My day and so to heare my voyce He saw it and thereof was glad Ye want the grace your father had Thou art not old yet fiftie yeare Hast thou our father Abrahm seene Though this so strange to you appeare Before he was I sure haue beene They tooke vp stones to stone him then But Iesus hid him from those men Christ gaue sight to one that was borne blind And as Christ Iesus passed by When he out of the Temple went Where then the Iewes most cruelly To stone our Sauiour Christ had ment He saw a blind man by the way That had bene blind from his birth day And his Disciples asked thus Oh master who did sinne we pray He or his parents tell it vs That he is blind what doest thou say Then Iesus said nor they nor he But that all men Gods works might see His works I must worke that sent me While it is day the night comes on I am the light while here I be When I go hence the light is gone And so he spat and made the clay Which curde his blindnesse cleane that day Then Christ said go in Siloam wash Lo I haue sent thee so to do Which when he did his eyes as glasse Were made as cleare and seeing to The neighbours that knew him before To see him see did wonder sore Some said and thought that it was he Some other thought him like the same But he confest himselfe to be Borne blind and spread Christ Iesus fame For whom said he you Iesus call Hath made me see as you see all They said how op'ned he thine eyes Mine eyes he did annoint with clay And then he said to me arise Go wash the same from thee away I washt and then receiued sight Which neuer saw before the light Where Christ was then he could not tell They brought him to the Pharisies Though Christ had done but all things well In opening the blind mans eyes They chaft that Christ should worke the clay To heale him on the Sabboth day The Pharisees askt him the same He answer'd as he did before From God said they he neuer came That makes not of the Sabboth more Some said how can he sinfull be That workes such workes as we do see Then asked they the blinde againe Tell vs of him what doest thou say He said he is a Prophet plaine That wrought this worke on me this day They scarse beleeu'd he had beene blind Till they had knowne his parents mind Of them his parents were afraid Because they had decreed so Who so confessed Christ they said Out of their Sinagogue should go Our sonne he is borne blinde he was Let him tell how this came to passe Then called they the blind againe And said to God the glory giue He is a sinner this is plaine Though he thy griefe did

Of the two Disciples that went to Emaus and what happened to them by the way Of the Disciples the same day As two to Emaus went This from Ierusalem then lay As writers do consent Threescore furlongs or foorthright As we accompt do take Seu'n miles and one halfe mile we might Of the same furlongs make This Nicopolis since we name The Romains cald it so It was a towne sometimes of fame And very pleasant tho They talked both of what was done As well to Christ before He dy'd as this which now begonne For to amaze them more For they had heard the women tell That Christ rose vp againe And was aliue yet knew not well Which they should do of twaine Beleeue or not or what to do For all men saw him die But women onely say these two These newes do testifie And as they thus then reasoned Behold it came to passe That Christ him selfe as happened Or purposely it was Did ioyne him selfe in iourney wise With those Disciples then And sayd what do ye thus deuise And looke as wofull men Yet all this while their eyes were hold They could not both perceiue What man he was that was so bold Though they did him receiue Most willingly to walke the way And trauell with them to As may appeare by what they say As they together go Art thou said Cleopas my friend A stranger onely here And if thou be a while attend And giue vnto me eare For at Ierusalem of late The thing hath happened That we so much do wonder at Was thus determined Then Iesus sayd what things were those They sayd to him againe The thing that we do now disclose A number do disdaine Iesus of Nazaret was this A Prophet mightely In word and deed allowd iwis Of God and man lately Him the high Priests and rulers all Deliuered to be Condemned in their iudgement hall And crucifi'd was he But we did hope that he would sure Deliuer Israell Tis since he did his death endure Three dayes we know it well And certaine women that we haue Among vs verely Astonied vs for at his graue Where they were certainly Though they there found his bodie gone They did returne and say Of Angels that a vision They saw this very day Which sayd that Christ did liue indeed So that on this report Some of vs did with hast and speed Vnto the graue resort And they did find apparantly All as the women sayd But saw not him assuredly Which made vs all dismayd O fooles said Christ and verie slow Of heart for to conceiue What hath bene sayd do ye not know Or will ye not perceiue The Prophets all haue this foretold That Christ should suffer so Then to his glorie enter should And to his Father go And he at Moses then began And the Prophets by name Interpreting from man to man Their sayings of the same And all their writings left behind Of Christ from first to last He then imprinted in their mind And would from them haue past For to the towne they did draw neare Whereto as then they went He seemed not to tarie there So trying their intent But they constraining him did say Abide with vs all night Farre spent alreadie is the day And now the towne in sight So he went in to take his rest Whereof they both were glad And then to supper them addrest Content with what they had He sitting downe the bread did take And when they both did see He first gaue thankes and then it brake They knew him Christ to be For both their eyes were opened And they did know him well But marke what after happened For thus it then befell While they with ioy surprized were He went out of their sight And left them both abiding there To take their rest all night Herein we may assuredly Perceiue Christ Iesus vse And learne to eate meate thankfully Lest we the same abuse Christ vsing now his wont before In breaking bread to pray Did lighten them that verie sore Were blinded by the way And yet againe twixt ioy and feare They were amazed so They could not see how from them there He then away did go Not that he did his shape at all Exchange as some men say But from this earth their minds to call On heau'nly things to lay For now no more on earth is he At he before hath bin As mortall man so found to be In all excepting sinne But sitteth sure in heau'n aboue Now in great maiestie His Father for vs still to moue And worke our libertie Then they betweene them selues did say Did not our hearts reioyce While he talkt with vs by the way And while we heard his voyce Our hearts did burne while we heard how He op'ned more and more The Scriptures vnto vs so slow To marke the same before And in that houre they rose againe And did returne with speed They letted not for anie paine They went backe both indeed Vnto Ierusalem they hie Where the Apostles were For they did there together lye Amazed much with feare Whom when they found they ioyfully Began for to report How by the way most happily Christ did to them resort Yet ere they came the newes was spread That Simon Peter he Had likewise surely lately sped Of Christ a sight to see While these confest what he had done And told them by the way And how to know him they begonne By breaking bread that day Iesus stood in the midst and sayd Peace be vnto you all It is my selfe be not affrayd Perceiue it well you shall This was that verie day at night That he did first arise That Christ appeared in their sight While closely in this wise They shut them in a secret place The Iewes they feared so That they durst not be seene a
