releeue thee vvhen neede shall requyre This being doen prepare thy selfe as before to the second dolour THhe secounde dolorous mysterie is the apprehension and arraignement of our lorde and maister vvith all manner of contumelious skorne and despite The arraignement of Christ And here marke the traitour Iudas betrayeing his maister vvith a kysse and the barbarous soldiours in armour vvith al violence taking holde of our Sauiour hailing and dravveing hym by night from Iudge to Iudge reviling mocking and vvith their filthines all bespitting hym beholde vvhat sterne and sovver countenances

hypocrisie of all Ievves heretikes and infideles against the head of the Churche then and novv against his membres And learne to embrace the true adoring of our Sauiour vvithall humilitie and simplicitie vvithout all pryde and insolencie And here note that the propertie of all heretiques is euer vvhith most rigeur and malice to assault the head principall directors of true religion vvhiche is a plain demonstracion of their disobedience thynke therfore hovv thou mayest take the contrarie course and embrace obedience in singlenesse of harte vvhiche all mightie God more estemeth then

in his members as he dyd Christ in his ovvne persone And thus thinking prepare thy minde vvith good deuocion to the fist dolour THe fist dolorous misterie vvas the crucifieing of Christ The crucifyeing of Christ And here beholde hovv the cruell tormentors do boysterouslie pull of his clothes fast cleauing to his fleshe vvhiche procured a nevv torment Marke hovv they streched hym alonge and nayled his handes and feete vvith rough and blunt nailes to the crosse Consider vvhat huge torture he endured in euery member and parte of his bodie through all his senses ot one instant vvhiles they hoysed hym vp thus hanging vpon nailes by his handes and fete vvith all the vveight of his bodie hauing no other thing to rest vpō And vvith this terrible sight say the fift and last Pater noster and tenne Aue Maries And then dravv together all thy senses and vvith all the povvers of thy mynde consider hovv thou mayst fall in to a true mortificaciō of al thy vices and concupiscences and prepare thy selfe to dye vvith hym that thou mayst be foūde vvoorthie to arise vvith hym This sight onlie if thou vievv all circumstances duelie and througlie vvil be hable by the grace of God to pull

comfort her Hovv he shovveth him selfe to Marie Magdalen and to all his disciples And vvith this comfortable sight repeat the first Pater noster and tenne Aue Maries deuoutlie And then vveaghe the glorious victorie of our Sauiour against vvhome neither deuell nor hell vvith all their ministers vvas hable to preuail further than he hym selfe lysted Note hovv all the practizes of Ievves against the Gospell are disapointed and ouerthrovven Euen so shall all deuises of heretikes vvhen it shall please God Therfore consider hovv in all tentacions afflictions persecutions and troubles for a Iust cause vve must not yeeld nor relent to the vvicked but expect vvith true patience the vvil of God vvho after a storme sendeth fair vvether after many troubles geueth quietnes vvith euer lasting rest
