thee thus thy Sauiour to forgo Why dost thou shew thy selfe so fondly vaine As offer him to those that hate him so His friends I wis would giue more mony for him Then scornfull foes whose pride and spite abhor him O what would Lazarus new brought to liue From graue haue payd to keep his Lord from death What price would Magdalen refuse to giue That lou'd her Master dearer then her breath Or Martha and his Virgin-mother too That lou'd him more then all the world can do Yea leaue the earth and aske of Angels bright What they would giue thee for their King diuine Doubtlesse to get him home their chiefe delight They would exchange their heauenly state for thine O hadst thou thus made sale of Christ before Thy guilt had beene the lesse and gaine the more But Sin with self conceit it selfe still blinds Daring without respect of what it may Witnesse false Iudas who with desperate mind Tels proudly to the Priests he will betray As if the Maker of heauen earth and seas Were in his power to vse him as he please They glad with others blame t' effect the deed Whereto their proper malice would aspire Resolue to prosecute it now with speed And thirty pence appoint him for his hire He straight accepts the wages they assign'd Slight gaine soone sets to work a willing mind Ah Iudas sinke of sinne and earthly shame First lucklesse lambe that straid from Christs deare fold Monster of mankind vile reproach of fame Sequestred from all grace most impious bold Blind reprobate alas what hast thou done To buy hel fire with sale of Gods deere Sonne O did thy wretched eyes so grieue to see Three hundred peniworth of oyle bestowd Whose costly value should aduantag'd thee If thy false hand had sold the same abroad That now to make amends for such shrewd losse Thou must betray thy Sauiour to the Crosse Did this bad crop spring vp from heauenly seed Did Christs example such vile thrift maintaine Ah no he taught thee by his Word and Deed T' abhorre the muddie mind of worldly gaine T' embrace pure thoughts whose safety feares no fall To hurt no man and to do good to all But thou vnchang'd a gracelesse Impe of hell With Iacobs spitefull sonnes in sin art growne Whose malice did their brother Ioseph sell For twenty pence to Merchant-men vnknowne Yet Ioseph was preferd to honour hie And call'd the Sauiour of the world thereby So Christ thy Lord by thee sold to be slaine Though death and hell striue both to presse him downe Shall Phoenix-like with glory rise againe And win by death an euerlasting Crowne That in his Name eterniz'd without end All knees in heauen in earth in hell may bend The Feast of sweet bread now was hard at hand And spotlesse pascall lambes were markt to die When Christs Disciples came to vnderstand Their Masters will in this Solemnitie Where wilt thou say they we prepare for thee The Passeouer that now must eaten be Straight blessed Peter readiest to obay And Iohn whom Iesus alwaies held most deare Are called for and sent without delay To make prouision for this heauenly cheare Receiuing by their Lords directing care A signe that shewd them where they should prepare You two saith Christ shall now this taske begin At yonder towne where you shall surely meet A man assoone as you are entred in Bearing a pot of water through the street Him follow wheresoeuer he doth go What house he enters enter you also Aske of the owner for some place where I With my Disciples may this Supper eate And he I know will shew you by and by A parler roome well paued faire and great Which will be fit make ready there for me For there shall this last Supper eaten be O happy Feast held by a heauenly King Where bread of life with bounty was bestowd No more a Type but now a figured thing True Rocke whence pure sin-cleansing waters flowd Sweet antidote whose vertue sets man free From deadly surfet of forbidden tree When thou wert made each ceremonious Rite ●hat had prefigur'd better things to come ●y Gods appointment was abolisht quite ●ew Sacraments succeeding in their roome Whose worth in Christ who worthily embrace Adopted are new heires of heauenly grace Cleare light was then in place of shadowes brought ●igures for better Truth exchang'd away ●he ioyfull Gospel for the Law was taught ●nd Mercy crownd where Iustice earst bare sway New Life was borne and Death began to die In this great Suppers heauenly mysterie ●here did the King of Glory thinke no scorne Leauing behind a patterne for vs meet ●ith girded loynes addrest in seruile forme ●o stoope and wash his owne Disciples feet That those which after should the Gospel preach Might by himselfe be cleans'd ere they did teach ●●t this is not yet all that then was done ●or the new-spoused Church redeemd so deere ●he precious Body of Gods only Sonne ●as instituted to be eaten heere That blessed Body borne for sinners good True Manna farre exceeding Angels food Such wisedome did th' Almighty workman show In altering shadowes into substance true Such humble seruice did a God bestow Pure humbled thoughts in proud man to renue Such precious cates were by our dying Lord Bequeath'd for euer to this heauenly boord The bright Sunne now with Westerne clouds was hid Dim darknesse on the errth began to grow Nor day nor night it was when Iesus did With his Disciples to this Supper go And as they ate he spake Of truth I say That one amongst you here shall me betray They straight with dead pale lookes bewray their feare And gaze together doubtfull to suspect As mazed persons wonted are that heare A sudden presage of some dire effect And willing there their innocence to trie Each after other said Lord is it I Iudas that felt himselfe neere toucht herein Wondring to heare his guilt so soone made knowne And fearing silence might disclose the sinne For Craft and Treason still are linkt in one Askt last of all faining himselfe dismaid Lord is it I Christ answered Thou hast said But wo be vnto him that makes this match Selling the Sonne of man to sinners spite Farre better had it bin for that vile wretch ●f he vnborne had neuer seene the light O ten times happy life that liueth well But curst is he that liues to liue in hell These threats in Iudas could breed no remorce That blacke detested action to abiure Obdurat harts though warn'd yet stil wax worse Like rotten vlcers mastring Physickes cure So hard it is except Gods grace be strong To saue that soule where sin hath harbord lōg Peter whose daunted thoughts could take no rest Vntill the author of this ill were knowne Makes signes to Iohn who lean'd on Iesus brest To aske his name whose sin should cause their mone Resoluing boldly if in him it lay To kill the wretch did plot his Lords decay But Peters purpose could not come to
