be donne He sent his seruants then forth all That they his bidden guests might call The guests would not though bid they were Repaire with them vnto the feast They sayd they could not then be there To their affaires they were addrest And thus they did the King abuse For eu'ry one made his excuse The first had bought a farme he sayd And he must needs the same go see The second was no whit affrayd Excused well he hop'd to be Fiue yoke of oxen he did buy And went to proue them hastily The third had wed a wife as then He could not come in any wise Thus answered those wicked men That did the heau'nly feast despise Yet were they not so very bad But there were some ten time as mad For they intreated shamefully The seruants that the King had sent They killed them most cruelly That so much good to them had ment Though wicked were the first in deed These did the other farre exceed But when the king had heard the same He sent his warriours forth with speed For he was wroth to heare the fame And worse displeased with the deed Those murtherers destroyed he And causd their Citie burnt to be Vnto his seruants he sayd then The wedding truly is prepard Vnworthie were those wicked men That would so lightly it regard Go ye therefore to the high way And bring me guests without delay The seruants went and so they did They brought him guests both good and bad For eu'ry one they met they bid To seeke to make their master glad And so with guests they furnished The feast that he solemnized The king came in his guests to see And there he did perceiue anon A man among the rest to be That had no wedding garment on This came not to adorne the feast But to haue meate among the rest The king vnto him quickly sayd How camst thou hither in my friend And he then speachlesse all affrayd Could by no meanes his cause defend The king could soone his faults espie For all his cloakt hypocrisie Then to his seruants sayd the king Bind him and take him hence away To vtter darknesse see you bring Him bound both hand and foote I say There weepe and gnash his teeth shall he Many are cal'd few chosen be Of paying tribute vnto Caesar The Pharisies tooke counsell then How Christ in talke might tangled be They sent vnto him Herods men With their Disciples this to see Thus all their wits they busied still To seeke to worke Christ Iesus ill Master sayd they we know and see That thou art true and teachest right The way of God and that with thee Respect of man is verie light Mans person thou doest not respect But him that doth Gods will effect Tell vs therefore how thinkest thou May we to Caesar tribute giue Thy iudgement herein shew vs now For this thing doth vs greatly grieue To pay him that mislikes men more The temple had alwayes before Iesus knowing their wickednesse Sayd Hypocrites why tempt ye me Your deeds shew you to be no lesse I cannot so deceiued be The tribute money shew me soone And you shall know what must be done They brought a peny to him then Whose Image then sayd Christ is this And superscription to those men Caesars sayd they it surely is Giue Caesar Caesars things therefore And God his due for euermore When they heard this they maruelled And left him then and went away H●s answer them astonished So that they could not him gainsay Yet left they not such was their grace To hate him though they left the place Christ confuted the Saduces which denied the resurrection The Saduces the same day came The resurrection they deny And all such men did fowly blame That would beleeue it verily These came I say to Christ that day Their ignorance for to bewray Master sayd they Moses hath sayd Childlesse if that a man should dye His brethren need not be affrayd To take his wife successiuely And mary her to raise him seed This law allowed was in deed There were seu'n brethren here with vs The first of them did wed a wife And dying then it hap'ned thus He left no child that left this life His wife vnto his brother he Did leaue also his wife to be The second third and all the rest Did mary her but had no seed For ech of them as is exprest One after other dy'd in deed And last of all then dyed she Whose wife in heau'n there shall she be Then Iesus answered againe And sayd vnto them verily Ye are deceiued this is plaine In your conceit and wot ye why The Scripture ye at any hand Nor yet Gods power vnderstand For in the resurrection Men do not mary wiues as then But are in each condition As Angels are not mortall men But that the dead do rise againe Haue ye not read yea oft in vayne I am sayd God of Abraham Of Isaac and Iacob in deed Their God and of all them that came Of them by faith or of their seed Sure of the liuing God is he Not of the dead I say to thee And when the people heard it they Were all astonied at the same But some his doctrine did obey Some other shrunke away for shame Which did his works and words despise Nor would beleeue in any wise The Pharisies demanded of Christ which was the great commandement and his answer But when the Pharisies had heard That Christ to silence then had brought The Saduces without regard They then a shift against him sought To worke his shame if it might be And so assembling this agree A Doctour of the Law therefore Should aske him there a question Tempting him then as before And asking his opinion Oh master in the law which is The great commandment tell me this Then Iesus sayd to him againe The Lord thy God him shalt thou loue With all thy heart and eu'ry vayne Thy soule and what thy mind may moue This is the great commaundement To keepe it is expedient The second is like vnto this As thine owne selfe thy neighbour loue On these commandements it is The law and Prophets hang and moue In first and last the wiseman can Learne duties due to God and man To Iesus sayd the Pharisie Master thou hast sayd very true There is but one God verily To loue feare and serue him is due Then Iesus sayd Gods kingdome thou Art not farre from I tell thee now Christ demanded of them how Christ the Messiah is the sonne of Dauid While that the Pharisies were there Gathred together as we find Iesus did aske them without feare Of Christ what thinke ye in your mind Whose sonne is he they sayd againe Christ Dauids sonne is very plaine Christ sayd to them how then doth he In spirit call him Lord I pray As in the Psalmes is for to see The Lord vnto my Lord did say Sit at my
