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

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

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

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
