the same water the Lord the Lady and all their household were lepers and notwithstanding it appeared not sodainly And in the meane time there came a great Eagle in at the window where the Emperours sonne lay and ●are the childe away out of his cradell And when the knight perceiued this hée wept bitterly and saide Alas alas and woe to mée wretched creature that euer I was borne what shall I doe for now I am the sonne of death for I am become a lothsome lea●er and so in my wife and all my household And while he was thus mourning ther came to him a Phisition said to him Sir if ye will doe after my counsa●le it shall not repent you First it beehoueth you your wife all your household to bée letten bloud and after that to bée bathed and washed cleane And then shall I lay to my medicine And when yée are whole then shall you and your household walke to the mountaines and séeke the Emperours sonne for the Eagle hath let him fall in some place The knight wrought all thing by the counsaile of this Phisition and incontinent after was letten bloud and receiued the medicine and then hée was all whole and his wife all his household wherfore hée toke his horse accompanyed with thrée Squires and rode foorth to séeke the childe And at the last hée found him whole and sound lying in a valey wherat he greatly reioyced And for the great ioye gladnesse that was in him for finding of the Emperours sonne hée led the Childe home to his father And when the Emperour saw his sonne in good health hée was right glad wherefore hée promoted him to great worship and so after that long time liued he ther in heauenly state and at the last he ended his life in peace and rest The Morall This Emperour betokeneth the father of Heauen his sonne beetokeneth our Lord Jesus Christ whome many men desired to nourish at such t●●●s as they receiued the sacrament of his death and passion Hee nourisheth him that delt ●usteth with the diuell ouercommeth him through godly life The knight that tooke this childe with him beetookeneth a good christian man that euermore absteineth truely from doing euill and laboreth cōtinually to doe good to all men Therfore doe wée as the knight did send wée béefore messengers to prepare and make cleane the Castle of our hearts from all spo●s of sin by fruitfull faith and so shall this childe Jesus rest and light in the middest of our hart The well beetokeneth mercy which ought to bée next our Lord.
