UHē Iesus had spoken these wordes he wente forth with his discyples ouer the broke Cedrō: where was a gardeyn / ī to the whiche he entred with his discyples. Iudas al so: which betrayd hym / knew the place for Iesꝰ of tymes resorted thy­ther with his discyples. Iudas thē after that he had receyued a bonde of men / and mynysters of the hye preestes and pharises / came thyther with lanternes and fyerbrōdes and weapons. Then Iesus knowynge all thynges that shulde come on hym / went forth and sayde vnto thē / whome sekeye? They answered hym. Iesus of Nazareth Iesus sayde vnto thē / I am he. Iudas also whi­che betrayed hym stode with hym. But as sone as he had sayd to them. I am he: they wēt backe­wardes and fell to the groūde. And he asked thē agayne / whome sekeye? They sayd Iesus of Na­zareth. Iesus answered / I sayde vnto you / I am he. Yf ye seke me / let these go theyr way / that the sayeng myght be fulfylled / whiche he spake. Of them which thou gauest me / haue I not loste one Symon Peter hadde aswearde / and drewe it / & smote the hye preestes seruaunt / and cut of his [Page] ryghte eare. The seruauntes name was Malcus The sayde Iesus vnto Peter: shall I not drynke of the cuppe / whiche my father hathe gyuen me. Then the companye and the captayne / and the mynysters of the Iewes toke Iesus and bounde hym / and ledde hym awaye to Anna fyrste: for he was father law vnto Cayphas / whiche was the hye preest that same yeare. Cayphas was he that gaue counsell to the Iewes that it was expedyēt that one man shulde dye for the people. And sy­mō Peter folowed Iesus / & another discyple that discyple was knowē of the hye p̄este / & wēt ī with Iesꝰ ī to the palayes of the hye preest. But Peter stode at the dore without. Then went that other discyple whiche was knowen vnto the hye preest and spake to the dāsell that kepte the dore / and brought in Peter. Then sayde the damsell that kepte the doore vnto Peter. Arte not thou one of this mannes discyples? He sayde. I am not. The seruauntes and the ministers stode there / and had made a fyre of cooles / for it was colde: and they warmed them selfes. Peter also stode amonge them and warmed him selfe. The hye preestes asked Iesus of his discyples / and of his doctryne Iesus answered hym. I spake openly in the worlde. I euer taught in the synagoge and in the temple / whereal the Iues resorted / and in se­crete haue I sayde nothyng. Uvhy askest thou me? Aske them whiche herde me / what I sayde vnto them. Beholde / they can tell what I sayde. Uvhen he had thus spoken / one of the ministers [Page] whiche stode by: smote Iesus on the face / sayeng Answerest thou the hye preest so. Iesus answe­red hym? Yf I haue spoken euyll beare wytnesse of the euyll. Yf I haue speken well / why smytest thou me. And Annas sent hym bounde vnto Cayphas the hye Preeste. Symon Peter stode and warmed hym selfe. And they sayde vnto hym. Arte thou not also one of his discyples. He denyed it / and sayde. I am not. One of the seruauntes of the hye preest (his cosyn / whose eare Peter smote of) sayde vnto hym. Dyd not I se the in the Bardeyn with hym. Peter de­nyed it agayne / and immediatly the cocke crewe. Then ledde they Iesus from Cayphas into the halle of iudgement. It was in the mornynge / and they theym selfes wente not in to the iudgement halle / lest they shulde be defyled: but that they myghte eate the pa­schall Lambe. Pylate then wente out vn­to them / and sayde. Uvhat accusacyon bryn­ge you agaynste this man. They answered and sayde vnto hym. Yf he were not an euyll doer / we wolde not haue delyuered hym vnto the. Thē sayde Pylate vnto them. Take ye hym / and iud­ge hym after youre owne lawe. Then the Iewes sayde vnto hym. It is not laufull for vs to put any man to deathe. That the wordes of Iesus myght be fulfylled which he spake sygnyfyenge what deathe he shulde dye. Then Pylate en­tred into the iudgement hall agayne / and called [Page] Iesꝰ and sayd vnto hym Arte thou the kynge of the Iewes? Iesus answered. Sayest thou that of thy selfe / or dyd other tell it the of me. Pylate answered. Am I a Iewe. Thyne owne nacyō and hye Preestes haue delyuered the vnto me. Uvhat haste thou done. Iesus answered. My kyngedo­me is not of this worlde. Yf my kyngedome were of this worlde / then wolde my mynysters surelye fyghte / that I shulde not be delyuered vnto the Iewes / but nowe is my kyngedome not frō hen­se. Pylate sayde vnto hī. Arte thou a kynge thē. Iesus answered. Thou sayest that I am a kynge For this cause was I borne / & for this cause came I ī to the world / that I shuld beare wytnesse vn to the trueth. And al that are of the trueth hea­re my voyce. Pylate sayd vnto hym. what thyn­ge is trueth. And when he had sayde that he wēt out agayne vnto the Iues / and sayd vnto them: I fynde in hym no cause at all. Ye haue a custome that I shulde delyuer you one loose at Easter.

wyl ye that I loose vnto you the kyng of Iewes? Then cryed they al agayn sayeng. Not hym / but Barabas. That Barabas was a robber. Thē Pylate toke Iesus and scourged hym. And the soul diours woūde a crowne of thornes and put it on his head. And they dyd on hym o purple garmēt / and sayde: Nayle kynge of the Iewes. And they smote hym on the face. Pylate went forth agayn and sayde vnto thē. Beholde I bryng hym forth to you / that ye may knowe / that I fynde no faute in hym. Thē came Iesꝰ forth wearynge a crowne [Page] of thorne and a robe of purple. And Pylate sayd vnto thē. Beholde the man. When the hye pre­esles and mynysters sawe hym / they cryed / sayēg Crucyfye hym / Crucyfye hym. Pilate sayd vnto thē. Take ye hym / and crucyfy hym. For I fynde no cause in hym. The Iues answered hym. We haue a lawe / and by our law he ought to dye / be­cause he made hym selfe the sone of god. When Pylate herde that sayenge / he was the more a­frayde: and sayd vnto Iesus: whense arte thou? but Iesus gaue hym none answere. Then sayde Pylate vnto hym. Speakest thou not vnto me. Knowen thou not that I haue power to loose the? Iesus answered. Thou couldest haue no po­wer at all agaynst me / except it were gyuen the frō aboue. Therfore he that delyuered me vnto the / is more ī synne. And from hēs forth sought Pylate meanes to loose hym. But the Iewes cryed / sayng. Yf thou let hym go thou arte not Cesars frēde. For who soeuer maketh hym selfe a kynge / is agaynst Cesar. When Pylate herde that sayēge / he brought Iesꝰ forth / & sat downe to gyue sentence / in a place called the Pauemēt but ī the Hebrew tonge Babbatha. It was the Saboth euen: whiche falleth in the Easter feest & aboue the syrte houre. And he sayde vnto the Iewes: Beholde your kynge. They cryed / away with hym / away with hym. Crucify hym. Pylate sayde vnto them. Shall I crucify your kynge.

The hye preestes answered / we haue no kynge but Cesar. Then delyuered he hym vnto them to [Page] be crucifyed. And they toke Iesus and led hym away. And he bare his crosse and wente for to a place / called the place of deade mennes sculles (which is named in Hebrewe / Golgatha (where they crucifyed hym. And with hym two other / on eyther syde one / and Iesus in the mydes. Pyla­te wrote his tytle / and put it on the crosse. The wrytinge was. Iesus of Nazareth / kynge of the Iues. This tytle red many of y^e Iewes. For the place where Iesus was crucifyed / was nygh to the cyte. And it was wrytté in Hebrewe / Greke / and latyn. Then sayde the hye preestes of the Iues to Pylate / wrytte not kyng of the Iewes: but that he sayde / I am kynge of the Iues. Py­late answered. What I haue wryten / that ha­ue I wryten. Then the souldiours when they had crucifyed Iesus / toke his garmētes and made. iiij. partes: to euery souldyour a parte and also his cote. There was a cote without seme / wrought open throughout. And they sayde one to another. Let vs not deuyde it: but cast lottes who shall haue it. That the scrypture myght be fulfylled / whiche sayth. They parted my raymēt amonge them and on my co [...]e dyd catte lottes.

And the souldyours dyd suche thynges in de­de. There stode by the crosse of Iesus / his mo­ther / & his mothers syster / Mary the wyfe Cleo­phas: and Mary magdalene. Whē Iesus sawe his mother: and the discyple standynge / whome he loued / he sayde vnto his mother: woman / be­holde thy sone. Then sayde he to the discyple. be­holde [Page] thy mother. And from that houre the discyple toke her for his owne. After that when Iesꝰ perceyued that all thynges were performed / that the scrypture myght be fulfylled he sayde / I thryst. There stode a vessell full of vynegre by And they fylled a sponge with vynegre / and wounde it about with ysope: and put it to his mouthe. Assone as Iesus had receyued of the by negre / he sayde. It is finysshed. And bowed his heade / and gaue vp the ghoste The Iewes then because it was the Saboth euē / that the bodyes shulde not remayne vpon the crosse on the Sa­both daye (for y^t saboth daye was an hye daye) besought Pylate that theyr legges myght be broken / and that they myght be taken downe.

Then came the souldyours and brake the leg­ges of the fyrste / and of the other / whiche was crucyfyed with Iesus But when they came to Iesus: and sawe that he was dead alredy / they brake not his legges but one of the souldyours with a spere / thrust hy min to the syde / and forth with came oute bloude and water. And he that sawe it bare recorde and his recorde is true And he knoweth that he sayth true / that ye myght beleue also. These thinges were doone that the scrypture myght be fulfylled. Ye shall not brea­ke a bone of hym. And agayne another scryptu­re sayth. They shall loke on hym / whom they pearsed. After that Ioseph of Aramathia (whi­che was a discyple of Iesus but secretly for fea­re of the Iues) besought pylate that he myght [Page] take downe the body of Iesus. And Pylate ga­ue hym lycence. And there came also Nicode­mus whiche at the begynnynge came to Iesus by nyght / and brought of myrre and Aloes myn gled togyther: about an hōdred pounde wayght Them toke they the body of Iesu and wounde it in lynnen clothes with the odoures / as the ma­ner of y^e Iewes is to burye. And ī the place whe­re Iesus was crucifyed / was a gardeyn / & in the gardeyn a new sepulcre / wher in was neuer man layde. There layde they Iesꝰ / because of the Iues Saboth euen: for the sepulchre was nye at hāde.

In the same waye that I walked: the proude haue hydden a snare for me.

Refuge is taken frō me: an there is none that requyreth my soule.
