And

For

And

.
two men armed with swords, wearing caps with feathers (?), leaning on a bench; partly visible seated behind and to the right of them is the back of a similarly dressed man; floral borders to right and left of illustration
_WHan
it
came
vnto
the
morowe
in
the
mornynge
/
the
prouost
/
the
knyghtes
/
and
dyuers
other
went
in
to
the
toure
for
to
haue
had
Pylate
to
haue
set
hym
on
the
pyller
.
And
whan
they
were
in
the
tour
they
said
vnto
the
kepers
that
kepte
Pylate
that
they
sholde
brynge
hym
oute
.
And
then
all
the
brydge
and
the
ryuer
was
charged
with
men
that
wolde
se
the
iustyce
that
they
wolde
do
on
Pylate
.
And
at
the
houre
that
the
kepers
wolde
haue
taken
him
for
to
haue
brought
hym
in
Iustyce
/
all
the
toure
was
full
of
deuylles
also
well
without
as
within
that
sayd
all
with
one
voyce
.
Pylate
is
ours
/
pylate
is
ours
/
leue
hym
vs.
All
the
toure
trembled
/
wherof
the
Prouost
and
all
the
other
that
were
there
with
hym
/
and
the
kepers
also
hadde
ryght
grete
fere
/
and
ryght
grete
horrour
/
and
yssued
all
out
of
the
toure
and
mounted
vpon
the
brydge
.
And
whan
they
were
vpon
it
they
behelde
the
toure
/
and
sawe
on
the
turrettes
aboute
the
toure
a
grete
multytude
of
deuylles
.
And
the
toure
entred
with
Pylate
&
all
the
deuylles
into
the
ryuer
of
Rosne
in
abysme
.
_WHan
the
Prouost
/
the
knyghtes
/
the
bourgeyses
and
all
the
other
folke
sawe
that
they
meruaylled
moche
strongly
/
&
wolde
wete
and
se
yf
the
toure
were
entred
depe
in
.
Soo
they
sayd
vnto
a
maryner
of
the
ryuer
that
he
sholde
take
a
bote
and
goo
se
yf
it
were
depe
there
as
the
toure
entred
with
Pilate
.
And
the
maryner
wolde
not
bycause
of
the
peryll
.
So
they
fastened
a
bote
with
cordes
vnto
the
toppe
of
the
brydge
and
made
it
go
vnto
the
place
where
the
toure
was
entred
/
in
the
whiche
place
the
water
rored
moche
strongly
And
after
they
had
.iiii.
C.
fadoms
of
corde
for
to
lengthe
the
other
corde
that
was
to
shorte
.
And
whan
the
bote
was
there
it
entred
in
with
al
the
corde
/
soo
that
they
put
more
therto
/
and
tyed
the
ende
of
it
vnto
a
vessell
of
corke
/
&
lete
it
go
softly
/
but
all
entred
in
and
neuer
herde
tydynges
of
the
toure
/
nor
of
Pylate
not
of
nothynge
elles
.
And
yet
dare
none
approche
nere
the
sayd
place
.
And
the
pyller
is
yet
ryght
vp
in
Vyenne
.
The
deuylles
toke
Pylate
in
the
toure
/
bycause
he
sholde
not
conuerte
hym
thrughe
the
cruell
payne
.
Then
whan
all
that
was
done
the
knyghtes
toke
theyr
leue
and
rode
vnto
the
Emperoure
and
recounted
to
hym
all

.
Whan
the
Emperour
herde
that
he
made
Iafet
Iacob
and
Ioseph
of
Armathye
to

And

Thus
endeth
