more about this speed Christ went thence to Ierusalem to the feast of the passeouer and there droue the buyers and sellers out of the Temple From Capernaum Christ did go Vp to Ierusalem for he As other alwayes vsed so Not sayling at that feast to be The passeouer was then at hand A feast obserued through the land When Christ came there as he did vse Into the Temple then he went Where he reprouing their abuse All such out of the Temple sent As did therein then buy or sell And told them plaine they did not well A whip of cordes Christ Iesus made Wherewith both oxen sheepe and men He droue out he low'd there no trade No not money strangers then Those thence he forst to packe away And suffred none of them to stay Such as sold doues they had a check He did command them quickly thence Perforce they must obey his beck He not regardes their ware or pence But said my fathers house make ye No house of marchandise to be They were amazed all at this Yet none of them durst disobay Resist or say thou doest amisse They yeelded all and went away But his Disciples thought in mind This zeale God ioyes in him to find When this was donne the Iewes began To question with him thus againe What signe shew'st thou oh sonne of man That thou doest this declare it plaine Destroy this Temple in three dayes The same againe I will vp raise The Temple-sixe and thirtie yeares In building was thus answer they This vnto vs no truth appeares That did thy wordes and workes obey They meant the Church of lyme and stone Christ meant his body flesh and bone When he was risen from the dead Then his Disciples cal'de to mind What he foretold and how he spread A truth in him they still did find The ground of their beliefe they make The Scripture and the word he spake While he did at that feast remaine Many beleeued in his name They saw his workes they were not vaine His wonders wanted not their fame He gaue to them no credit then For he knew well that vaine were men Christ instructeth Nicodemus in the regeneration by water and the holy Ghost There was a man a Pharisie A ruler one of chiefest fame Nam'd Nicodemus verely This man by night to Iesus came He had a minde for to amend Yet men he feared to offend Master he said we know thou art A teacher come from God aboue Such signes and workes none can impart But such a one as God doth loue Those miracles that he had donne Approued him to be Gods sonne Said Iesus I do say to thee Except a man be borne againe Of water and the spirite he Shall not Gods kingdome sure obtaine Can this be true as thou hast told May man be borne that once is old Assuredly except a man Be borne as I haue said to thee Heauen be neuer enter can Gods kingdome he shall neuer see Of flesh but flesh is borne ywis The spirite yeeldes that spirite is Thou know'st not whence commeth the wind Whose going in and out to thee Though by thine eare the sound thou find The seate thereof thou doest not see Who of the spirite is borne heare Is so though strange it doth appeare Nicodemus said how can these things be A teacher greater things should know I testifie that I haue seene When earthly things to thee I show If dull and faithlesse thou hast bene What wilt thou be when I declare Of heau'nly things and what they are No man ascendeth vp aboue But he that did descend from thence The sonne of man whom God doth loue And is in heau'n in his presence He must be lift as by Moses The Serpent was in wildernesse That who so doth in him beleeue Eternall life the same may haue For God his onely sonne did giue The faithfull from hell fire to saue The world to saue Gods sonne was sent It to condemne God was not bent Condemned shall he neuer be That doth beleeue in him the same Condemned is already he Whose faith is not firme in his name The light is come yet darknesse more Do worldly men loue then before The euill euer hate the light By it their deeds reproued are He loues the truth that with his might His deedes by day seekes to declare Oh Nicodemus all I say A faithfull heart must beare away Christ returning into Iudea preached the Gospell and Baptised the people by his Disciples neare Iohn of purifying a question did then arise After this donne came Christ againe With his Disciples as we reade Into Iudea this is plaine Where he Baptising taried Iohn did Baptise in Enon by And ply'de his office carefully Of water there they had great store And Iohn was not in prison cast But as the number waxed more Of Disciples strife grew as fast The Iewes and Iohns Disciples craue Of purifying the truth to haue Iohns testimonie againe of Iesus They also came to Iohn and said Most men to Christ Baptising go Iohn bad them be no whit dismayd From heau'n it is appointed so Ye know I said I am not he Christ must increase as you do see He that is come from God on hye Doth testifie what he hath seene He that receiues it verely Doth seale how true our God hath beene Whom God sent speakes Gods word Iohn saith And plenteously Gods spirite hath The Father lou'd the sonne and gaue All things he had into his hand He that beleeues in him shall haue Eternall life this vnderstand They dead are that him disobay The wrath of God all such will slay Iesus to auoyde danger departed out of Iudea into Galilie When he that knew of all things well Perceiued by relation Or of himselfe for he could tell His enemies intention How that the Pharisies did heare That he was famous eu'ry wheare And that he made Disciples more And more Baptised then likewise Then Iohn that had gone him before Marke ye now well Christ Iesus guise He did his office earnestly Yet voyded danger warily Christ passing through Samaria towardes Galilie conferred with a woman at the well of Sichar and conuerted many Samaritanes Christ leauing Iurie did depart And went againe to Galilie He knew what loue or hate in heart Men bare him hidden outwardly Christ through Samaria needs would go He had himselfe decreed so What workes for him did there abide To bring the Gentiles to the light He did foreknow and then did guide His companie to Si●har right Neare to the place that Iacob gaue Where Ioseph should possession haue And there on faithfull Iacobs well Christ Iesus sate about midday A woman that thereby did dwell For water came while he did stay But his Disciples they were gone Into the Citie eu'ry one Then to the woman Iesus said For me to drinke some water giue So she againe then vndelayd Said thou a Iew art I beleeue Iewes

shalbe One mightie God in persons three Amen THE FIFTH PART OF THE HISTORIE OF OVR LORD AND SAVIOVR IESVS CHRIST containing those things which he did the fourth yeare after his Baptisme which was the three thirtieth yeare of his age according to the foure Euangelistes the yeare after the creation of the world 4174. To the tune of the Lordes Prayer The time of Christs departure approching he confirmed himselfe to go to Hierusalem WHen Christ had now accomplished The time appointed him before And that his death then hastened He did prepare himselfe therefore His minde he fully setled tho Thence to Ierusalem to go Wherefore he did before him send A lodging for him to prepare Of such as did him then attend Which they did with exceeding care Within Samaria entred they Into a towne for to puruey But the Samaritans in deed Their message would not then receiue When him and his they with such speed Go to Ierusalem perceiue This was the cause for all their care They could no lodging there prepare When Iohn and Iames that then were sent Saw they could not prouided be Shall we said they incontinent Command as did Elias he That fire come downe from heauen hye And so consume them vtterly Iesus rebuking them did say Know ye not yet what men ye are The sonne of man came not to slay But saue mens liues whereof haue care So to another towne they went For then the day was almost spent Christes answer to the Scribe that would haue followed him A Scribe came then to Christ and said Oh master I will follow thee For answer he was not delayd The foxes haue their holes ye see And fowles their neasts said he but I Haue not a place wherein to lye Christes answer to the Disciple that would go burie his father first But to another Christ said then Come thou forthwith and follow me Thus calleth he vs mortall men Whom when and how best liketh he My dutie first discharge must I To my old father till he dye And Iesus said to him againe Let thou the dead their dead bury For my Disciple must remaine And do his office carefully Go thou therefore abroad I say Preach the kingdome of God alway Christes answer to a third that would follow him but would first ●●d his houshold farewell Another said ●●e follow thee But first I must go bid farewell To such as be in house with me But Iesus said be doth not well That to the plough doth put his hand And looketh backe and lets it stand Christ sent forth the seuentie Disciples to preach After these things appointed he Of his Disciples seuentie mo That still were wont with him to be And sent them forth by awd two Where he would come before they went To do and teach as they were sent The haruest is surely said he Now verie 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 Behold I send you go away As lambes among the wolues ye be As simple as the doues I say And as the Serpent wise be ye Do in your iourney take no care What weeds ye were or how ye fare What house or Citie ye come to Among the worthie there remaine Till you from thence haue cause to go Let them with you my peace retaine Such as do not deserue this grace Shake of their dust in the same place This dust shall witnesse against those That you desired not their wealth And that they earthly treasure chose Before this proffred sauing health And in the iudgement they shall gaine Of Sodome and Gomorh the paine Chorazin wo be vnto thee And to Bethsayda wo likewise The great works that were done by me In you ye greatly did despise If they in Tyrus had bene done They had repented long agone If Tyre and Sydon had I say Both seene and heard what ye do heare Sack-cloth and ashes eu'ry day Had bene their weed you buy it deare For at the iudgement then to thee To them it shall more easie be Thou Capernaum lift so hye Yea raised vp to heau'n aboue To hell thou shalt be brought to lye Because my works thee neuer moue If they in Sodom had bene wrought It had not yet bene brought to nought For Sodom it shall easier be Oh Capernaum be thou sure At the great iudgement then for thee The punishment for to endure Tyre Sydon and Sodom shall haue More ease then these though then ye craue He that doth heare you heareth me He that despiseth you also Despiseth me and likewise he Despiseth God whom I came fro They do aright in God reioyce That in his Preachers heare his voyce The seuentie returned and told Christ all that they had done The seu'ntie did returne with ioy And told the Lord what they had done The deuils said they could none annoy Or hurt where we to preach begonne For eu'ry where we through thy name His rage and furie soone did tame Christ said I Sathan did behold Like lightning downe from heauen fall To you I power giue be bold To tread on Serpents great or small And Scorpions yea the enemy ●hall not hurt you assuredly In this yet do not ye reioyce T●●t spirits to you subiect are But lift both hands both heart and voyce To God which hath of you such care That he your names hath written sure In heau'n for euer to endure Then Iesus said I giue to thee Oh mightie Lord and father deare Most hartie thankes thou hearest me And to my call thou giuest eare These things thou hidest from the wise Their worldly wit thou doest despise Thy secrets vnto babes withall And humble men thou doest declare These do on thee for mercy call These these oh God thy chosen are This thy good pleasure was and is Oh father none can alter this All things to me now giuen are Of my father the sonne and he No mortall man can well declare The one of them except he be Taught by the sonne and so he may Learne both to know this is the way To his Disciples turned he And secretly to them did say The eyes are blessed that do see As ye do see now at this day Prophets and Kings wisht to see so And here what you do long ago A Scribe or Lawyer tempting Christ was answered hi● question and taught who his neighbour was A certaine Lawyer stood vp then And tempting Christ began to say Oh master thou doest teach these men To euerlasting life the way Vouchsafe to tell it I do craue Eternall life how I may haue What is written said Christ againe And in the law what doest thou reade Thou shalt said he with euery vaine The Lord thy God both loue and dread And next the Lord thy God aboue Thy neighbour thou shalt likewise loue Thou hast said well said Christ
