Of
the
fruite
of
suche
deuout
meditation
,
and
of
the
maner
and
order
of
this
litle
Treatise
.
AMongst
all
exercises
of
deuotion
that
a
Christian
man
can
haue
,
one
of
the
most
fruitefull
and
most
acceptable
to
God
is
,
to
be
often
and
deuoutely
occupied
,
in
calling
to
remembrance
and
well
to
consider
in
minde
(
which
otherwise
we
terme
to
meditate
)
the
passion
of
Christ
our
redéemer
.
The
which
all
the
Doctours
that
write
thereof
affirme
,
and
also
reason
and
experience
do
playnely
declare
the
same
.
For
by
such
holy
meditation
the
soule
is
inflamed
in
the
loue
of
Christ
,
considering
howe
tenderly
he
loued
it
,
how
muche
he
suffered
to
saue
and
beautifie
it
:
and
moreouer
it
feareth
and
is
ashamed
of
his
sinfulnesse
,
knowing
&
séeing
how
grieuously
it
was
punished
in
the
sonne
of
God
,
who
as
the
Prophet
Esay
saith
,
was
stroken
of
the
father
for
the
sinnes
of
his
people
.
Yea
the
soule
thereby
receiueth
in
hir selfe
and
increaseth
newe
and
freshe
desires
to
amende
the
life
:
séeing
the
liuely
and
marueilous
examples
which
particularly
do
shine
in
the
holy
passion
of
Christ
.
And
likewise
it
is
thereby
styrred
and
pricked
forwarde
to
geue
thankes
&
prayse
for
his
infinite
goodnesse
and
mercy
,
that
it
hath
pleased
him
with
so
tender
loue
to
be
made
a
sacrifice
,
and
to
suffer
so
bitter
death
,
that
he
might
geue
vs
miserable
and
wretched
wretches
,
life
and
saluation
.
And
thus
finally
the
soule
may
séeme
in
some
parte
to
pay
the
great
debt
it
is
bounde
in
,
féeling
in
it selfe
the
great
benefite
it
hath
receiued
,
when
it
calleth
to
remembraunce
and
bethinketh
particularly
the
manyfolde
sorrowes
,
iniuries
,
and
tormentes
which
the
sauiour
of
the
worlde
suffred
in
his
death
and
passion
:
and
doth
know
that
this
seruice
is
most
acceptable
to
him
,
and
also
is
sory
for
them
who
do
not
the
like
,
but
forget
the
great
kindnes
of
their
Redéemer
.
So
then
,
for
this
and
many
other
fruits
gathered
of
this
blessed
meditation
,
certayne
Doctours
affirme
that
those
gayne
more
,
which
euery
day
do
meditate
with
deuotion
,
some
little
part
of
the
passion
of
Christ
,
than
if
they
should
exercise
manye
prayers
,
fastings
,
disciplins
and
chastenings
of
the
body
otherwise
.
And
therefore
albeit
many
haue
copiously
at
large
written
hereof
,
yet
notwithstanding
for
the
better
commoditie
and
helpe
of
them
that
haue
not
such
bookes
,
&
specially
for
suche
our
Christian
brothers
and
sisters
sakes
,
that
haue
a
desire
to
exercise
them selues
in
the
meditation
of
the
passion
of
our
Lorde
,
we
are
moued
to
finde
out
some
meanes
howe
they
maye
with
more
facilitie
and
taste
godlily
occupie
them selues
therein
.
Whiche
I
doubt
not
,
my
good
brother
,
but
thou
shalte
well
proue
,
if
thou
be
willing
with
attention
diligently
to
marke
what
shall
in
this
little
Treatise
be
layde
before
thée
,
wherein
thou
shalt
finde
great
swéetenesse
in
applying
thy selfe
to
so
heauenly
an
exercise
,
both
necessary
and
highly
commended
.
For
here
thou
shalte
sée
in
figures
set
foorth
the
Images
of
those
mysteries
thou
hast
to
call
to
thy
remembrance
and
mind
:
in
beholding
wherof
thou
maist
be
holpen
to
be
more
setled
and
stayed
in
memorie
and
minde
of
that
imagination
which
is
so
imprinted
within
thée
.
Herein
also
are
declared
the
poyntes
to
discourse
on
,
and
so
to
procéede
with
more
deuotion
in
thy
meditation
.
Or
if
thou
knowe
not
howe
of
thy selfe
to
make
these
or
the
like
talkes
or
spéeches
with
God
,
then
I
say
,
this
may
teache
thée
the
order
and
maner
howe
,
because
herein
is
shewed
thée
howe
to
geue
thanks
to
thy
Redéemer
for
that
which
thou
shalt
meditate
or
call
to
minde
he
hath
suffred
for
thée
:
and
also
what
thou
oughtest
to
praye
for
,
conformable
to
that
poynt
and
parte
of
the
passion
thou
●ast
to
meditate
vpon
.
Which
●oing
(
by
Gods
grace
)
with
as
great
deuotion
as
thou
canst
,
●hou
mayst
then
well
hope
thou
shalt
not
at
any
time
be
occupied
therein
without
fruite
:
the
which
shal
be
so
much
the
more
,
as
thou
shalt
more
earnestlye
perseuer
in
so
godly
an
exercise
.
¶
Diuers
profitable
wayes
how
to
meditate
vpon
the
blessed
passion
of
Christ
our
Redeemer
.
IT
is
declared
in
the
booke
o●
the
Prophet
Daniell
,
that
there
was
shewed
in
a
vision
to
Nabuchodonosor
,
a
trée
plante●
in
the
middle
of
the
earth
,
whic●
trée
was
very
hye
,
garnishe●
with
goodly
leaues
and
abundance
of
fruite
.
By
this
trée
is
figured
Christ
crucified
in
the
middest
of
the
earth
,
vnder
the
shadow
of
which
trée
whosoeuer
is
willing
to
rest
him selfe
,
and
recorde
within
his
minde
the
most
holy
passion
,
he
shall
finde
fruite
both
swéete
and
copious
,
and
that
so
muche
the
more
,
as
his
vnderstanding
shall
serue
him
in
more
diuers
sort
to
meditate
on
the
same
.
And
therfore
ye
must
note
that
ther
be
diuers
wayes
to
meditate
vpon
the
holy
passion
,
&
out
of
eche
of
them
there
may
be
gathered
new
varieties
of
fruites
:
for
that
you
shall
finde
one
fruite
and
taste
when
you
do
in
your
meditation
take
sorow
&
compassion
within
your selfe
for
the
great
torments
&
iniuries
which
Christ
suffered
:
and
an
other
kinde
of
fruite
when
thou
shalt
meditate
thereon
in
minde
to
followe
the
great
vertue
that
is
taught
thée
therein
,
and
so
in
diuers
other
sortes
,
as
your
meditation
may
runne
for
diuers
other
endes
and
purposes
.
And
although
the
deuotion
of
euery
man
may
deuise
different
wayes
of
exercise
in
this
meditation
▪
yet
neuerthelesse
I
thought
good
in
this
litle
treatise
to
set
foorth
certayne
sortes
,
which
I
hope
shall
not
a
little
further
and
helpe
such
as
be
willing
to
serue
their
turne
therewith
.
The
first
maner
or
sort
which
is
generall
,
and
here
set
foorth
before
the
rest
we
intende
to
speake
of
,
may
be
called
historicall
or
literall
:
whiche
consisteth
in
knowing
wel
the
letter
and
historie
of
that
mysterie
which
thou
purposest
to
haue
in
minde
and
contemplation
:
the
which
thou
must
as
freshly
remember
and
consider
of
,
as
it
were
presently
set
before
thine
eyes
.
The
second
maner
of
this
meditation
is
,
by
way
of
compassion
:
that
is
to
say
,
for
that
intent
that
thou
wouldest
haue
compassion
,
and
as
it
were
lament
and
be
sory
for
the
grieuous
tormentes
,
reproches
and
sorowes
which
thou
conceyuest
in
thy
minde
that
Christe
hath
suffred
for
thée
:
considering
wel
the
quantitie
and
qualitie
therof
,
with
other
circumstances
which
do
encrease
the
sorowes
and
passion
,
and
therefore
the
more
styrre
thy
heart
to
pitie
and
compassion
.
The
third
maner
is
,
to
meditate
by
way
of
compunction
or
contrition
,
which
is
to
that
end
that
thou
mayst
be
pricked
with
remorse
of
conscience
and
sorow
for
thy
sinnes
,
which
are
with
such
rigour
and
crueltie
punished
in
thy
redéemer
,
for
that
he
was
offered
vp
as
a
raunsome
and
price
for
them
,
so
to
make
satisfaction
before
the
iustice
of
his
eternall
Father
.
And
this
shall
cause
thée
to
hate
them
the
more
,
and
to
kéepe
thy selfe
the
more
warely
hereafter
from
committing
the
like
offences
agayne
,
when
thou
shalt
consider
how
muche
they
offended
God
,
that
he
would
punishe
the
same
with
so
great
seueritie
.
The
fourth
maner
and
sort
of
meditation
is
,
by
way
of
imitation
or
following
,
that
is
,
to
the
ende
to
followe
the
marueilous
vertue
and
rare
examples
that
Christe
our
redéemer
showeth
and
setteth
foorth
in
his
passion
,
as
well
in
the
wordes
which
he
spake
,
as
in
the
workes
which
he
did
,
and
in
the
maner
of
his
suffering
.
All
which
to
consider
is
a
certayne
liuely
example
and
paterne
of
perfection
,
for
thée
to
vse
as
a
glasse
to
beholde
what
vertue
wanteth
in
thée
,
and
so
to
vse
thy selfe
that
thou
mayest
obtayne
it
.
The
fifth
maner
and
sorte
of
meditation
is
by
way
of
thanks
giuing
,
that
is
,
in
rendring
of
thankes
and
prayses
to
God
for
his
bountifull
goodnesse
,
calling
to
remembraunce
the
innumerable
giftes
and
great
benefites
which
are
giuen
thée
by
meanes
of
this
holy
passion
:
the
whiche
are
so
great
that
no
vnderstanding
of
man
is
able
to
comprise
them
.
Yet
notwithstanding
,
those
whiche
by
this
discourse
thou
art
able
to
vnderstande
,
may
suffice
to
stirre
thée
to
giue
thankes
and
prayse
to
thy
Lord
God
,
which
hath
done
so
muche
for
thée
.
The
sixt
maner
is
by
way
of
admiration
:
for
hauing
well
considered
in
thy
minde
the
vnspeakeable
charitie
and
loue
of
Christe
,
in
that
he
hath
offered
him selfe
to
suffer
so
bitter
and
shamefull
death
:
and
likewise
the
infinite
wisedome
and
iustice
of
God
,
declared
in
the
bitter
passion
of
his
deare
sonne
:
thou
shalt
become
as
a
man
rauished
out
of
him selfe
,
béeing
amased
of
so
high
and
wonderfull
things
.
The
seuenth
maner
is
,
by
way
of
ioye
and
hope
:
For
if
thou
consider
that
all
which
Christe
hath
suffered
,
and
that
death
which
he
hath
sustayned
,
was
onely
for
thy
remedie
and
behoue
,
and
that
by
such
meanes
he
would
make
satisfaction
for
thy
sinnes
,
and
leaue
to
thée
the
treasures
of
his
redemption
and
mercies
,
if
thou
be
willing
to
helpe
thy selfe
therwith
:
Calling
I
say
,
these
and
the
like
thinges
to
thy
remembraunce
,
they
may
cause
thée
to
reioyce
and
be
glad
in
hope
that
by
this
helpe
thou
mayst
agayne
recouer
that
infinite
treasure
which
thou
haddest
lost
,
and
he
by
this
meanes
hath
purchased
for
thée
.
The
eight
and
last
maner
of
meditation
vpon
this
blessed
passion
,
is
,
by
way
of
loue
.
For
because
the
principal
fruite
which
thou
mayst
séeme
to
gather
of
that
thou
hast
meditate
vpon
,
is
a
certayne
excéeding
tender
loue
of
our
Lorde
him selfe
,
which
so
vouchsafed
to
suffer
and
dye
for
thée
.
And
nowe
that
thou
mayst
in
all
these
maners
and
wayes
of
meditation
knowe
the
better
how
to
procéede
,
these
instructions
and
declarations
following
may
serue
thy
turne
.
Declarations
of
the
sayde
sortes
and
maners
of
meditations
vppon
the
blessed
passion
,
and
first
concerning
the
first
kind
,
called
historicall
or
litterall
.
THE
first
manner
howe
to
be
occupied
in
meditation
vpon
the
most
blessed
passion
of
our
redéemer
,
we
haue
sayde
it
may
be
termed
historicall
or
literall
,
because
in
it
we
presuppose
chiefly
that
the
history
of
things
whiche
happened
and
came
to
passe
,
are
therein
contayned
.
Vpon
the
which
foundation
all
the
other
sortes
of
meditation
are
grounded
,
which
we
haue
before
specified
.
And
therefore
it
is
necessarie
that
this
kinde
and
sort
go
before
the
other
:
besides
that
,
this
remembraunce
what
things
Christ
suffered
,
is
of
it selfe
laudable
inough
,
and
commended
in
the
holy
Scripture
:
as
it
appeareth
in
that
which
the
Prophet
Ieremie
in
person
of
our
Lorde
sayde
:
Remember
thou
my
pouertie
,
my
wormwood
and
gall
.
And
in
an
other
place
our
Lorde
him selfe
doth
likewise
lament
vs
that
we
haue
likewise
forgotten
him
,
and
that
which
he
hath
done
and
suffered
for
vs
.
That
we
maye
therefore
the
better
exercise
our selfe
in
this
kind
of
meditation
,
it
behoueth
often
to
reade
the
historie
of
the
passion
as
the
foure
Euangelistes
do
set
foorth
the
same
,
and
is
to
be
founde
in
certayne
godly
bookes
,
or
els
to
be
learned
at
sermons
,
or
by
other
spiritual
talke
,
so
that
thou
must
trauell
to
haue
the
same
well
fixed
and
rooted
in
thy
memorie
,
imagining
and
thinking
alwayes
vpon
it
,
chewing
it
in
thy
minde
,
vntill
thou
finde
thy selfe
so
ready
and
prompt
in
it
,
that
if
thou
were
apposed
in
any
part
of
the
historie
of
the
passion
,
thou
mightest
be
able
to
answer
to
it
,
&
declare
it
perfectly
.
And
to
this
it
shal
helpe
thée
often
to
exercise
thy selfe
in
meditation
of
Christes
passion
.
Also
to
this
maner
it
doth
apperteine
to
cal
to
thy
remembraunce
according
to
that
which
thou
hast
read
or
learned
by
bookes
or
preaching
,
that
whatsoeuer
thou
seest
in
thy
contemplation
thy
sauiour
to
haue
suffred
,
they
were
before
figured
and
foreshowen
by
many
holy
Prophetes
.
And
so
thou
shalt
knowe
and
well
perceiue
that
the
truth
of
that
thou
goest
about
to
meditate
,
doth
answere
to
the
olde
figures
and
auncient
prophecies
:
the
which
shall
minister
gret
cause
of
consolation
,
and
more
confirme
thée
in
faith
,
and
also
chase
and
driue
away
all
other
fancies
whiche
distract
the
minde
,
and
make
the
same
more
attentiue
and
ben●
to
the
matter
in
meditation
.
And
so
this
shall
be
as
a
beginning
to
passe
further
to
the
other
considerations
.
¶
A
declaration
of
the
seconde
manner
of
meditation
,
which
is
by
way
of
compassion
.
The
seconde
maner
of
meditation
vpon
the
blessed
passion
,
which
is
by
way
of
compassion
,
is
more
acceptable
to
our
Lord
,
and
that
is
to
endeuour
to
trauell
in
sorrow
and
griefe
with
him
.
And
it
is
also
no
lesse
profitable
for
vs
,
for
that
,
as
Saint
Paule
sayth
,
if
we
will
suffer
with
Christ
,
we
shal
also
reigne
together
with
Christ
.
In
this
kinde
the
matter
of
meditation
is
so
plentiful
and
copious
,
that
it
shuld
be
long
to
write
or
meditate
the
same
at
large
:
and
therfore
it
shall
suffice
to
consider
therein
two
poyntes
,
to
the
which
the
other
may
be
reduced
that
are
vsed
for
that
purpose
to
be
considered
of
.
The
first
is
,
to
consider
the
person
that
suffereth
.
The
seconde
,
to
conside●
the
thing
which
he
suffereth
:
th●
which
two
poyntes
well
considered
of
,
may
suffice
to
moue
any
hard
hart
to
compassion
.
Fo●
what
hart
will
not
mollifie
o●
melt
to
consider
,
first
the
qualities
which
do
concurre
in
the
person
that
would
suffer
béeing
very
God
&
man
?
And
touching
his
diuine
nature
,
no
man
is
able
to
declare
or
comprehende
neither
his
generation
,
nor
his
dignitie
,
nor
his
maiestie
,
nor
his
highnesse
,
nor
his
eternitie
,
nor
yet
the
fulnes
of
his
perfections
.
And
touching
his
humanitie
,
he
is
most
noble
of
blood
royal
,
the
sonne
of
the
most
cleare
Virgin
mother
,
formed
by
the
operation
of
the
holy
Ghost
,
the
most
beautifull
body
that
euer
was
séene
amongst
men
,
the
most
gracious
,
swete
,
humble
,
meeke
,
louing
,
with
all
other
excellencies
more
then
can
be
thought
.
And
touching
the
soule
,
in
him
is
the
fulnesse
of
grace
,
of
charitie
,
of
holynes
,
of
all
other
noble
vertues
and
heauenly
giftes
,
in
more
high
degrée
then
euer
was
communicate
to
any
creature
.
And
this
such
and
so
mightie
a
Lord
did
suffer
,
béeing
most
innocent
without
any
faulte
or
sinne
,
more
grieuous
payns
and
terrible
tormentes
then
mans
tongue
or
Angels
can
expresse
.
Nowe
let
this
be
the
seconde
poynt
,
that
is
to
say
,
the
things
which
he
hath
suffred
:
and
therof
thou
hast
to
remember
in
thy
meditation
,
howe
he
suffered
in
his
body
from
the
crowne
of
his
head
to
the
sole
of
his
foote
,
from
top
to
toe
,
yea
,
and
in
al
his
sences
and
féelings
,
and
so
running
in
through
discourse
of
them
,
thou
shalt
finde
that
there
remayned
in
him
no
one
part
nor
sence
,
or
féeling
,
in
the
which
he
did
not
suffer
so
many
sortes
of
tormentes
as
can
not
be
thought
,
yea
and
that
in
fleshe
moste
tender
,
delicate
,
and
quicke
to
féele
for
the
perfection
of
his
complexion
.
Consider
here
withall
that
he
dyed
in
the
flowre
of
his
age
,
when
to
liue
was
most
swéete
,
and
death
the
cause
of
more
sorrowe
.
Remember
also
the
blasphemies
they
gaue
him
,
the
iniuries
,
the
reproches
,
the
scornings
&
mockings
they
deuised
against
him
,
sometimes
clothing
him
in
one
fashion
of
garment
,
&
somtimes
in
an
other
,
with
so
many
kinds
of
mockinges
:
and
finallye
in
spoyling
and
stripping
him
bare
and
crucifying
him
naked
before
suche
a
multitude
of
people
that
it
can
not
be
declared
,
and
it
passeth
mans
wit
to
expresse
howe
great
the
spite
and
shame
was
they
wrought
against
him
.
O
infinite
heape
of
sorrowes
and
reproches
so
great
,
that
there
can
not
be
found
the
wit
or
vnderstanding
to
thinke
,
nor
yet
tong
finde
words
to
expresse
and
vtter
them
:
yea
or
howe
much
soeuer
they
were
able
to
thinke
or
vtter
,
yet
should
it
be
the
least
part
of
all
that
he
suffered
.
O
my
Redéemer
how
well
worthy
maye
those
wordes
be
spoken
of
thée
by
the
Prophet
Ieremie
:
O
all
ye
that
passe
by
the
way
consider
and
sée
,
if
there
were
euer
any
sorow
like
vnto
mine
.
And
so
truly
it
is
,
O
our
Lorde
,
that
like
as
there
was
neuer
loue
to
be
compared
to
thine
:
so
also
verily
there
was
neuer
sorrowe
like
nor
equall
vnto
thine
,
neither
in
quantitie
nor
in
qualitie
,
nor
yet
in
all
other
circumstances
that
can
be
imagined
.
How
then
,
good
brother
,
can
thy
hart
holde
out
and
not
with
pitie
relent
and
melt
,
and
with
compassion
be
moued
,
when
thou
shalt
consider
these
and
many
other
things
whiche
thou
mayest
call
to
thy
remembrance
,
and
which
do
aggrauate
and
make
more
lamentable
the
bitternesse
,
the
sorrowes
,
the
tormentes
and
great
iniuries
done
to
thy
Sauiour
?
And
this
is
that
he
suffered
in
his
body
and
to
our
sight
outwardly
,
which
in
déede
was
the
least
part
,
because
muche
more
grieuous
and
percing
were
the
inwarde
sorowes
,
paynes
and
afflictions
of
his
moste
blessed
soule
.
As
that
his
sorrowe
vnto
death
did
witnesse
which
he
said
he
felte
,
and
also
that
agonie
which
he
suffered
in
his
prayer
,
hauing
diuers
and
infinite
obiectes
of
paynes
before
his
glorious
sight
:
whiche
so
troubled
and
tormented
him
,
that
it
caused
him
to
sweate
that
bloody
sweate
,
trickling
downe
from
his
face
and
body
to
the
ground
.
The
causes
of
that
so
greate
heauinesse
and
affliction
of
his
blessed
soule
,
may
in
our
meditation
be
gathered
to
be
these
:
First
the
consideration
he
had
of
the
sinnes
of
all
people
from
the
beginning
of
the
world
in
time
past
,
time
present
,
and
time
to
come
:
the
number
,
the
malice
,
and
wickednes
,
the
abhomination
he
both
saw
,
and
euidently
knewe
,
and
playnly
vnderstood
,
how
great
iniurie
and
dishonor
they
committed
thereby
against
his
eternall
father
,
whom
he
aboue
all
other
things
loued
,
and
desired
to
honour
,
the
which
did
gréeue
and
torment
him
more
then
all
those
outward
torments
.
Secondly
he
sorrowed
for
the
vnkindnes
and
vnthankfulnes
of
men
,
and
chiefly
Christians
,
for
whom
he
gaue
his
life
and
offred
him selfe
to
so
great
and
bitter
payne
,
and
yet
he
sawe
they
would
not
endeuour
nor
begin
to
know
,
nor
estéeme
or
care
to
helpe
them selfe
with
so
great
and
inestimable
benefite
:
and
so
through
their
owne
fault
he
should
not
gayne
by
his
grieuous
passion
&
death
that
fruite
for
the
whiche
he
traueled
so
sore
,
and
which
he
might
haue
had
,
if
they
them selues
would
haue
disposed
their
good
willes
thereto
,
which
did
more
grieue
him
then
death
it selfe
.
And
that
he
playnly
showeth
where
he
lamenteth
by
the
mouth
of
the
Prophet
Esay
,
saying
,
in
vayne
haue
I
traueled
,
and
without
cause
and
fruite
haue
I
consumed
my
strength
.
Thirdly
he
sorowed
much
the
damnation
of
Iudas
,
and
of
so
great
a
multitude
of
people
otherwise
,
whome
he
knewe
shoulde
be
damned
for
despising
of
that
moste
holsome
medicine
he
should
leaue
for
them
in
his
precious
blood
:
and
that
by
howe
muche
the
more
with
infinite
charitie
he
desired
their
health
and
saluation
,
so
muche
the
more
it
grieued
him
to
sée
their
perdition
,
and
also
considering
the
inestimable
ryches
they
loste
,
and
the
horrible
tormentes
wherein
they
should
for
euer
be
punished
.
This
was
a
cause
of
more
bitter
sorrowe
to
him
,
then
the
cup
of
his
passion
.
Fourthly
the
representation
of
that
sword
of
sorowes
which
he
knewe
should
passe
through
the
virgin
hart
of
his
most
dere
mother
,
was
likewise
a
cause
of
great
griefe
and
sadnes
.
For
he
knew
she
would
accompanie
him
in
the
middle
of
his
tormentes
,
and
the
sight
of
her
did
encrease
the
same
through
the
tender
compassion
he
had
of
her
.
And
likewise
he
did
sorowe
and
pitie
the
solitarines
,
cares
,
and
trauels
his
disciples
should
be
left
in
,
and
all
his
friends
both
present
,
and
all
other
his
elect
that
should
come
vnto
the
ende
of
the
world
,
of
whose
persecutions
,
torments
&
tribulations
he
did
no
lesse
grieue
at
&
féele
,
then
the
head
doth
féele
payne
&
griefe
when
any
of
his
members
doth
suffer
.
Sée
then
how
diuers
sorts
of
sorowes
,
besides
many
other
,
a
man
may
call
to
remembraunce
and
meditate
,
that
perced
and
ranne
through
his
most
sacred
soule
,
and
those
he
felt
,
euery
payne
by
it selfe
,
the
one
not
letting
the
griefe
of
the
other
,
and
that
without
all
consolation
or
comfort
,
without
ease
or
rest
,
and
béeing
forsaken
of
all
parts
,
as
he
declared
vpon
the
crosse
,
when
he
sayd
:
O
God
my
god
why
hast
thou
forsaken
me
?
And
as
it
is
sayd
of
him
in
an
other
place
,
That
he
was
made
as
a
man
without
helpe
.
For
so
it
pleased
his
entier
loue
the
more
to
suffer
for
vs
,
and
so
to
make
the
greater
satisfaction
to
the
iustice
of
God
.
O
loue
without
measure
,
O
infinite
clemencie
and
pitie
most
euidently
declared
,
in
that
thou
wouldest
showe
thy selfe
cruell
to
thy self
,
to
be
pitiful
towards
vs
:
And
that
thou
more
estéemedst
our
health
,
then
thy
owne
comfort
and
life
.
Séeing
that
béeing
depriued
of
all
comforte
and
helpe
,
thou
wast
drowned
in
a
bottomlesse
pit
of
so
great
griefes
and
sorowes
,
and
wast
content
to
be
swallowed
vp
as
an
other
Ionas
in
the
belly
of
the
whale
of
death
.
What
man
then
can
finde
in
his
heart
to
be
so
voyde
of
all
pitie
,
that
thinking
vpon
these
thinges
,
will
not
be
mollified
and
moued
to
compassion
?
Séeing
he
woulde
be
sorie
(
I
trowe
)
for
the
greatest
enemie
he
had
,
if
he
should
sée
him
in
like
torment
of
body
and
soule
without
all
ease
and
comfort
?
Lo
then
,
my
dere
brother
,
how
in
these
poyntes
hitherto
is
declared
what
was
the
person
that
suffered
,
and
what
he
suffred
as
well
in
body
as
in
soule
:
wherin
thou
shalt
finde
sufficient
matter
to
styrre
thée
to
compassion
,
which
is
the
ende
we
purposed
in
this
part
.
For
if
thou
meditate
and
consider
in
thy
minde
after
this
sorte
this
holy
mysterie
,
it
can
not
be
but
if
thou
remember
well
the
aforesayde
things
with
good
attention
and
●euotion
,
it
shall
moue
&
breake
●hy
hart
were
it
neuer
so
hard
,
●eing
that
the
very
stones
in
the
stréete
brake
and
shiuered
in
peces
,
in
the
death
of
the
very
same
thy
Sauiour
.
A
declaration
of
the
third
manner
of
meditation
,
by
way
of
contrition
and
compunction
.
The
third
maner
we
purposed
to
teache
thée
howe
to
meditate
on
the
blessed
passion
,
is
by
the
way
of
contrition
and
compunction
:
the
ende
wherof
is
,
to
haue
an
inward
sorowe
and
repentance
of
thy
sinnes
committed
against
the
maiestie
of
God
:
and
to
find
out
the
fruit
of
this
,
which
is
not
a
litle
,
it
behoueth
a
man
to
ground
him selfe
vpon
this
veritie
,
that
all
which
christ
our
redéemer
hath
suffred
,
was
for
the
sinnes
of
the
world
.
In
so
much
that
if
man
had
not
sinned
,
Christ
had
not
suffred
nor
dyed
,
for
so
the
diuine
scripture
affirmeth
,
that
for
the
sinnes
of
the
people
he
was
stroken
of
his
●ternal
father
,
and
that
he
layde
●pon
his
shoulders
the
sinnes
of
●s
al
,
and
that
he
was
scourged
●nd
wounded
for
our
iniquitie
,
●nd
beaten
and
buffeted
for
our
●eseruing
.
And
this
veritie
is
●onfirmed
by
many
other
au●horities
,
aswell
of
the
olde
as
●he
new
Testament
.
Now
then
this
so
béeing
,
when
thou
shalt
be
disposed
to
make
discourse
and
occupie
thy
minde
in
meditation
of
the
death
and
passion
of
thy
Redéemer
,
thou
haste
to
think
verily
,
that
thou
wast
the
cause
of
all
those
sorrowes
,
tormentes
,
and
iniuries
,
whiche
thou
seest
him
to
haue
suffered
.
For
notwithstanding
he
suffered
and
dyed
for
all
,
yet
neuerthelesse
he
dyed
as
well
for
thée
alone
,
as
he
dyed
for
all
.
So
that
thou
mayest
truely
saye
with
Saint
Paule
,
that
he
was
offred
for
thée
,
that
he
was
scourged
for
thée
,
that
he
was
nayled
on
the
Crosse
for
thée
,
and
dyed
for
thée
.
And
likewise
that
thy
sinnes
killed
him
,
thy
pride
crowned
him
with
thorne
,
thy
dishonesties
&
filthy
life
scourged
him
,
thy
drunkennesse
and
gluttony
gaue
him
the
eysel
and
gall
,
thy
disorderlye
doinges
and
sinnes
were
the
causes
of
his
grieuous
sorowes
,
and
that
thy
sins
were
those
many
dogs
and
great
bulles
,
of
whom
he
said
he
was
enuironed
or
compassed
round
about
:
and
so
when
thou
shalt
beholde
him
in
the
pi●●full
image
where
Pilate
she●eth
him
to
the
Iewes
when
he
●ayde
,
Beholde
the
man
:
then
●●so
remember
that
our
Lorde
sayth
the
very
same
wordes
vnto
thée
:
Behold
,
O
man
,
the
rewarde
I
haue
receiued
for
thée
,
Behold
howe
I
am
handled
for
thée
,
Beholde
howe
I
suffer
the
scourge
of
thy
deseruings
,
Behold
what
thy
vnthankfulnesse
hath
caused
me
to
haue
,
Behold
the
deformed
picture
and
image
which
thy
sinnes
haue
giuen
me
,
in
recompence
of
my
good
wil
to
make
thée
partaker
of
my
beautie
.
Of
this
consideration
we
sha●
soone
conceiue
in
our
mind●
what
an
horrible
thing
sinne
is
which
in
such
sort
hath
handle●
the
sonne
of
God
,
and
how
abhominable
the
filth
thereof
is
which
hath
outwardly
so
berayed
,
darkned
,
stayned
and
soyled
him
,
which
is
the
very
myrror
and
glasse
without
spotte
,
the
brightnes
of
eternall
life
.
This
wel
considered
and
called
to
thy
remembraunce
,
shall
strike
into
thy
hart
gret
hatred
and
repentance
of
thy
sinnes
,
which
were
the
cause
of
so
sore
paynes
and
punishmentes
of
thy
Redéemer
which
neuer
committed
sinne
,
neither
anye
guyle
was
euer
●ound
in
his
mouth
.
And
so
much
●he
more
thou
oughtest
to
sor●ow
and
lament
thy
sinnes
,
by
●ow
much
the
oftener
thou
hast
●allen
into
them
.
For
euery
time
thou
hast
sinned
as
the
Apostle
saith
,
so
often
thou
hast
gone
about
to
crucifie
and
despise
the
sonne
of
God
.
And
if
they
for
their
parte
should
repent
them selues
and
be
grieuously
sorye
,
which
once
onely
offended
him
mortally
and
crucified
him
:
how
much
more
oughtest
thou
to
repent
and
be
sory
,
whiche
haste
crucified
him
so
many
times
.
This
consideration
and
remembraunce
maye
strike
into
thée
sometimes
suche
sorowe
and
feare
of
thy selfe
,
that
it
shall
prouoke
thée
to
say
these
or
the
like
wordes
:
Ah
my
God
and
gracious
Lorde
,
where
was
my
iudgement
&
wit
,
when
I
was
so
bolde
to
commit
suche
sinnes
against
thy
diuine
maiestie
?
where
was
my
vnderstanding
that
could
not
remember
howe
that
eury
time
I
sinned
I
went
about
to
crucifie
thée
againe
?
how
is
it
possible
that
I
should
imploy
my
hands
to
offend
thée
,
thou
hauing
thy
hands
nayled
on
the
crosse
to
saue
me
?
howe
could
I
open
my
mouth
to
blaspheme
thée
,
thou
hauing
opened
thy
mouth
so
often
to
pray
for
me
?
howe
is
my
harte
become
so
harde
and
stubborne
to
loue
thée
and
obay
thée
,
séeing
thine
hart
with
a
spere
euen
through
perced
,
to
shewe
the
great
loue
thou
barest
me
?
Thou
shalt
not
onely
learne
by
this
consideration
,
how
to
hate
and
be
sory
for
thy
sinnes
passed
,
but
also
it
shal
moue
thée
with
more
earnest
purpose
euer
after
to
flye
suche
sinnes
,
fearing
agayne
to
runne
vnto
the
horrible
abhomination
to
go
about
to
crucifie
Christ
agayne
,
and
likewise
cause
thée
to
be
afrayed
of
the
great
punishment
which
thou
shouldest
deserue
,
if
with
newe
sins
thou
go
about
to
defile
thy self
again
.
If
the
sonne
of
a
Prince
would
be
afrayed
when
for
the
fault
that
he
him selfe
committeth
,
he
doth
sée
his
page
or
slaue
beaten
:
how
much
more
ought
the
slaue
to
feare
,
when
he
séeth
the
sonne
of
the
Prince
beaten
for
the
fault
which
he
the
slaue
him self
committeth
?
Feare
thou
then
and
tremble
,
miserable
wretch
,
séeing
for
thy
fault
the
sonne
of
God
thy
king
and
Lorde
is
beaten
and
so
cruelly
handled
,
and
call
to
thy
remembraunce
the
words
he
spake
to
the
women
that
wept
when
they
sawe
him
●eare
the
crosse
:
If
they
do
this
●n
the
gréene
trée
,
what
shall
be
●one
in
the
dry
wood
?
That
is
●o
say
,
If
in
Christ
which
is
the
●réene
trée
,
full
of
the
leaues
of
most
holy
words
and
fruites
of
most
excellent
works
,
so
seuere
punishment
is
vsed
,
for
that
he
hath
taken
vpon
him
our
sinnes
:
what
shal
be
done
to
thée
which
art
a
dry
withered
trée
yéelding
no
good
fruites
,
neither
of
patience
nor
of
charitie
,
nor
of
any
vertue
,
nor
yet
is
there
to
be
séene
in
thée
so
much
as
the
leaues
of
words
profitable
to
thy selfe
or
any
other
,
and
much
lesse
any
one
flowre
of
liuely
desire
to
amende
thyne
owne
life
?
If
thou
then
shalte
be
a
trée
not
onely
barren
and
fruitlesse
,
but
also
vitious
and
laden
with
most
euill
and
wicked
fruites
:
wha●
shall
become
of
thée
,
but
that
which
is
vsed
to
be
done
of
the
like
trée
,
that
is
,
to
be
cut
down
and
cast
into
the
fyre
?
And
that
shalt
thou
haue
worse
then
any
other
trée
,
for
that
the
fyre
of
other
wood
is
soone
consumed
,
but
thy
fyre
shall
be
euerlasting
.
Sée
therfore
how
this
meditation
of
Christes
holy
passion
shal
cause
thée
to
sorrow
for
thy
sinne
passed
,
&
to
feare
the
sins
to
come
,
because
thou
wouldest
not
willingly
fall
into
the
iustice
of
god
the
which
thou
séest
so
rigorou●ly
and
sharply
executed
vpon
thy
sauiour
,
in
that
he
was
offered
to
pay
thy
raunsome
.
The
fourth
maner
of
meditation
,
which
is
by
way
of
imitation
or
following
.
The
fourth
maner
howe
to
meditate
and
consider
vpon
the
blessed
passion
,
we
sayde
it
was
by
the
way
of
imitation
,
which
is
of
muche
fruite
,
and
highly
commended
by
holy
men
.
For
as
the
chiefe
of
the
Apostles
S.
Peter
saith
,
one
cause
why
that
Christ
suffered
for
vs
,
was
,
to
leaue
vs
an
example
to
followe
his
steps
.
And
Christ
him selfe
sayth
,
that
he
hath
giuen
vs
an
example
to
do
as
he
hath
done
.
Which
so
being
,
when
thou
shalt
occupie
thy selfe
in
meditating
vpon
his
passion
,
marke
wel
the
manyfold
and
marueilous
vertues
which
he
teacheth
therein
,
as
well
in
that
he
suffered
,
as
in
the
maner
of
his
suffering
:
the
which
thou
must
desire
to
follow
by
his
grace
as
much
as
is
possible
in
thée
,
staying
thy selfe
chiefly
vpon
the
consideration
of
that
vertue
which
thou
knowest
principally
to
be
lacking
in
thée
.
And
because
it
may
seme
impossible
to
consider
all
the
vertues
whiche
shine
in
his
moste
glorious
passion
,
who
was
the
most
perfect
paterne
of
all
vertue
and
perfection
,
I
will
onely
●et
here
before
thy
eyes
those
which
thou
oughtest
most
often
to
remember
,
and
whiche
be
moste
necessarie
for
thy
turne
.
And
first
to
beginne
with
those
two
vertues
whiche
our
Lorde
specially
commendeth
vnto
vs
by
his
owne
example
,
and
to
be
learned
of
him
,
saying
,
Learne
ye
of
me
,
because
I
am
méeke
and
humble
of
heart
:
Consider
(
I
say
)
howe
perfectly
he
teacheth
them
in
his
blessed
passion
.
Humilitie
which
is
the
foundation
of
all
vertues
,
he
declareth
playnely
in
humbling
him selfe
to
so
shamefull
a
death
,
as
that
of
the
crosse
,
disdaining
not
that
the
very
thief
Barrabas
found
more
friendship
and
fauour
to
be
deliuered
before
him
,
and
being
content
to
be
crucified
betwéene
two
théeues
.
In
many
other
things
thou
mayst
by
discourse
call
to
mind
&
consider
that
louely
humilitie
which
he
setteth
forth
in
the
rest
of
his
life
,
aswel
as
in
his
passion
,
as
that
in
washing
the
féete
of
Iudas
&
of
his
other
disciples
not
long
before
,
&
in
being
born
in
an
oxe
stall
or
stable
,
with
many
other
examples
of
the
same
vertue
,
whereof
both
the
rest
of
●s
life
&
death
are
full
.
For
in
●s
birth
,
in
his
liuing
,
&
in
his
●ing
,
he
neuer
ceassed
to
leaue
vs
all
examples
that
might
be
of
so
necessarie
a
vertue
for
vs
.
He
shewed
also
a
marueilous
example
of
méekenes
in
his
holy
passion
,
when
he
was
led
vnto
death
(
as
the
Prophet
Esa●
spake
of
him
)
euen
as
shepe
,
an●
stoode
as
gentle
as
a
lambe
before
them
who
so
cruelly
han●led
him
,
not
once
opening
hi●
mouth
to
speake
an
euill
word
against
them
which
railed
vpo●
him
,
nor
yet
to
threaten
the●
which
tormented
him
.
In
lyk●
maner
he
declared
his
modest●
and
sobernesse
in
that
clere
an●
lightsome
countenance
of
hi●
standing
before
the
Iudges
an●
his
accusers
,
and
in
the
maner
of
his
answering
to
their
questions
,
and
in
that
peaceable
calmnesse
of
minde
whcih
he
alwayes
expressed
,
not
once
being
troubled
in
his
countenance
or
chaunging
moode
,
although
he
●ere
neuer
so
muche
iniuried
,
and
wrongfully
slaundered
.
He
●eclared
also
his
perfect
obedience
,
not
onely
béeing
obedient
●o
his
eternall
Father
,
in
the
●ommandement
of
death
which
●e
gaue
him
,
but
also
declared
●he
same
in
euery
thing
,
euen
●owardes
his
wicked
enemies
whiche
crucified
him
,
in
dooing
whatsoeuer
they
willed
:
as
in
suffering
him selfe
to
be
spoyled
of
his
clothes
,
and
agayne
to
be
clothed
,
and
that
as
often
as
pleased
them
to
commaunde
him
:
Nowe
going
to
one
iudge
,
and
now
vnto
an
other
,
as
they
woulde
haue
him
:
and
finally
when
he
was
appoynted
thereto
,
he
bare
the
Crosse
whereon
he
should
be
crucified
.
What
shal
we
then
say
of
the
softnesse
,
and
of
the
silence
he
obserued
and
kept
in
all
that
pitifull
pageant
of
his
passion
?
He
was
not
desirous
to
multiply
words
nor
to
answere
so
many
iniuries
and
blasphemies
they
spake
agaynst
him
,
neither
to
defende
him selfe
agaynst
the
false
witnesse
they
brought
foorth
,
ne
to
excuse
him selfe
of
that
they
vniustly
accused
him
and
layde
to
his
charge
:
But
he
suffered
patiently
all
things
,
without
aunswering
of
any
thing
,
euen
as
though
he
had
bene
domme
.
So
that
he
therin
well
fulfilled
that
whiche
was
written
of
him
:
I
as
a
deafe
man
did
not
heare
,
and
as
a
domme
creature
which
openeth
not
his
mouth
,
I
made
no
aunswere
.
And
the
Euangelist
affirmeth
,
that
euen
the
very
iudge
Pilate
him selfe
dyd
much
maruel
at
his
gret
silence
.
But
much
more
his
inuincible
patience
may
cause
vs
to
maruell
,
with
the
which
he
suffered
and
bare
,
not
only
the
innumerable
scornes
,
skoffes
,
and
mockings
,
with
other
outrages
deuised
agaynst
him
,
but
also
the
gréeuous
sorowes
and
paynes
,
the
most
bitter
tormentes
they
coulde
inuent
to
punishe
him
withall
,
whiche
were
so
many
and
so
cruell
,
that
they
might
suffice
to
breake
any
hard
stone
.
Verifying
in
this
that
whiche
Ezechiel
prophesied
of
him
,
when
he
likened
his
face
to
the
Diamond
and
hard
flint
,
because
of
the
hardnes
wherewith
he
bare
so
many
blowes
and
buffettes
,
with
their
fists
and
hard
gauntlets
:
and
all
with
suche
an
inuincible
patience
,
without
making
resistance
at
all
,
ne
yet
so
muche
as
any
show
of
murmuring
or
grudging
.
And
likewise
consider
howe
that
his
most
feruent
and
burning
charitie
was
not
able
to
be
quenched
or
diminished
with
all
the
waters
of
those
his
afflictions
and
sorows
which
entred
into
him
,
and
perced
euen
through
the
very
middest
of
his
most
blessed
soule
:
but
rather
the
more
they
doubled
his
torments
,
the
more
increased
the
flame
of
loue
,
by
the
which
in
his
most
excessiue
sorows
he
prayed
for
them
that
crucified
him
,
and
excused
them
before
his
father
who
accused
and
condemned
him
.
Furthermore
remember
that
intier
deare
mercy
of
his
,
that
where
he
saw
our
great
miseries
and
calamities
,
he
had
compassion
vpon
vs
,
and
wéeped
for
our
sakes
,
he
prayed
for
vs
,
and
shedde
his
most
precious
blood
,
thereby
to
heale
and
cure
our
gréeuous
diseases
and
daungerous
woundes
.
Call
also
to
minde
and
consider
that
fortitude
and
magnanimitie
of
his
,
who
knowing
(
as
noteth
the
Euangelist
Saint
Iohn
)
all
things
that
should
be
done
vnto
him
,
that
is
to
saye
,
the
great
battayle
which
was
prepared
agaynst
him
,
and
in
the
whiche
he
shoulde
dye
with
so
many
gréeuous
tormentes
and
deadly
woundes
:
yet
feared
he
nothing
at
all
to
marche
forwarde
to
méete
his
enemies
in
the
face
,
and
offer
him selfe
into
their
hands
,
to
execute
what
crueltie
they
would
vpon
him
.
Consider
also
his
constante
perseuerance
,
which
is
a
vertue
that
crowneth
and
rewardeth
all
our
good
workes
:
Because
who
so
euer
shall
perseuer
and
continue
in
well
dooing
to
the
ende
,
he
shall
be
saued
.
Which
vertue
is
in
none
better
séene
then
in
Christ
,
who
in
such
sorte
perseuered
,
continued
,
&
●●●tly
went
forward
with
that
wor●e
of
our
redemption
he
had
bego●●
that
neither
the
feare
of
paine●
,
nor
strokes
,
nor
iniuries
,
nor
scornes
,
nor
threatnings
,
foule
wordes
nor
fayre
promises
,
nor
men
,
nor
diuels
,
could
be
able
to
make
him
come
down
from
the
Crosse
,
or
leaue
vndone
any
one
iote
of
that
was
to
be
done
,
for
finishing
of
the
worke
of
our
redemption
which
his
Father
had
commaunded
him
.
Nor
yet
leaue
thou
here
vnremembred
both
for
thy
consolation
and
example
to
folow
his
blessed
stepps
,
that
contempt
of
the
world
,
and
that
his
extreme
pouertie
,
whereof
he
giueth
vs
notable
examples
both
in
his
blessed
passion
&
death
,
and
also
in
his
life
and
conuersation
,
which
was
full
of
pouertie
and
contempt
of
honour
and
worldly
fauour
.
But
specially
it
is
to
be
séene
in
his
passion
and
ende
of
his
life
,
because
he
dyed
in
that
straite
bedde
of
the
Crosse
,
hauing
nothing
at
all
to
leane
his
head
vpon
,
standing
spoyled
and
naked
with
so
great
shame
and
ignominie
in
that
multitude
of
people
beholding
and
gasing
vppon
him
.
And
in
the
thirst
and
drinesse
which
he
suffred
,
they
gaue
him
not
so
much
as
a
cup
of
water
,
but
only
bitter
gal
and
vineger
.
There
was
not
one
that
mighte
helpe
or
comfort
him
with
any
ease
or
reliefe
:
but
rather
those
his
enemies
studied
by
all
deuises
and
inuentions
they
could
,
new
kindes
of
paynes
and
wayes
,
how
to
vexe
and
disgrace
him
.
O
my
God
,
what
is
that
man
,
but
if
he
will
remember
this
,
and
marke
it
well
,
may
be
ashamed
to
murmure
,
grudge
,
and
lament
him selfe
of
any
griefe
or
aduersity
that
he
doth
suffer
▪
What
pouerty
or
barennesse
in
the
worlde
may
be
compared
to
thine
?
what
abstinence
,
what
austeritie
of
life
,
or
straitnesse
of
penance
was
euer
so
harde
and
sharpe
,
which
may
be
compared
to
that
thou
diddest
suffer
on
the
Crosse
?
what
man
was
euer
in
the
world
so
despised
,
so
mocked
,
and
so
persecuted
,
as
thou
waste
in
thy
passion
and
death
?
Truely
,
O
Lorde
,
he
that
can
well
remember
and
consider
thée
,
maye
shutte
his
mouth
&
shame
to
lament
him self
at
al
,
either
of
pouerty
,
hunger
,
thirst
,
nakednesse
,
vnkindnesse
,
or
of
any
other
lacke
or
griefe
that
he
suffereth
.
He
may
be
ashamed
to
sée
howe
fayntly
and
coldly
he
traueleth
to
folow
thée
,
O
Lord
,
being
set
before
vs
as
an
example
and
rule
of
our
life
.
Thou
seest
now
good
brother
,
what
order
thou
muste
obserue
,
béeing
after
this
sort
occupied
in
thy
meditation
vpon
the
passion
.
Beholde
the
pure
and
cleare
glasse
in
the
whiche
thou
mayst
looke
and
learne
to
knowe
and
sée
in
thy selfe
thy
faults
,
deformities
and
defects
,
and
then
compare
them
together
with
his
vertues
and
perfections
:
because
thou
shalte
so
vnderstand
how
great
thy
pride
is
,
if
thou
beholde
and
haue
respect
to
his
lowlynesse
,
méekenesse
,
and
humilitie
:
how
great
is
thy
coldnesse
,
in
comparison
to
his
tender
and
burning
charitie
:
and
the
like
of
other
vertues
aforesaid
,
and
many
more
that
may
be
considered
of
,
which
shal
discouer
and
open
vnto
thée
thy
lackes
and
imperfections
,
thy
foulenesse
and
deformities
.
And
so
shalt
thou
be
encouraged
with
more
diligence
to
bestirre
thée
,
to
worke
according
to
this
examplar
and
paterne
showed
vnto
thée
in
this
mount
of
most
●igh
perfection
,
as
it
was
sayde
vnto
Moyses
:
Because
in
this
imitation
&
conforming
of
thy
life
after
the
example
of
Christ
,
consisteth
the
greatest
merite
thou
canst
haue
in
this
life
,
and
the
greatest
rewarde
prepared
for
thée
in
the
life
to
come
.
A
declaration
of
the
fyfth
manner
of
meditation
,
which
is
in
thankesgeuing
.
The
fifth
manner
of
meditation
vpon
the
holy
passion
,
is
by
way
of
thankesgiuing
,
whiche
we
are
bounde
often
to
do
.
For
if
we
ought
of
very
duetie
,
because
we
woulde
not
fall
into
the
vice
of
ingratitude
,
whiche
so
muche
displeaseth
God
,
and
no
lesse
hurteth
vs
,
to
call
of●en
times
to
our
remembrance
suche
other
benefites
as
we
●aue
receyued
at
Gods
hande
,
●nd
to
thanke
his
infinite
goodnesse
and
liberalitie
for
the
●ame
:
How
muche
more
ought
●e
so
to
do
for
the
benefite
of
●ur
redemption
,
the
whiche
so
much
more
passeth
all
other
be●efites
,
as
it
hath
by
our
redée●er
with
more
deare
coste
and
●rice
,
and
for
our
greater
pro●ite
,
bene
purchased
?
A
great
matter
it
was
that
●e
gaue
vs
a
soule
and
body
,
with
all
our
members
and
sen●es
,
and
muche
it
is
to
be
estéemed
,
that
for
our
conseruation
and
benefite
he
hath
created
the
heauens
and
the
earth
,
with
so
many
and
diuers
creatures
as
we
sée
in
it
.
But
what
should
it
haue
profited
vs
to
be
borne
into
the
world
,
if
we
had
not
bene
redéemed
?
Of
what
estimation
or
valour
might
our
creation
haue
bene
thought
,
if
our
redemption
had
lacked
?
For
by
the
first
we
receiued
but
our
being
,
by
this
seconde
we
haue
receiued
our
wel
béeing
.
The
first
thing
cost
our
creator
but
litle
,
for
that
he
created
vs
and
al
the
world
with
his
onely
word
,
and
in
a
short
time
:
but
as
for
the
seconde
,
who
is
able
to
declare
how
dearly
and
with
how
great
expence
our
redéemer
purchased
and
bought
it
?
Séeing
that
with
the
trauels
and
sweat
of
thrée
and
thirtie
yeres
,
&
finally
with
tormentes
and
death
vpon
the
Crosse
he
gaue
vs
life
,
and
repaired
the
worlde
which
in
sixe
dayes
he
had
made
.
Nowe
if
it
séeme
to
thée
that
thou
art
litle
bound
to
him
for
that
whiche
cost
him
litle
,
yet
thou
canst
not
denie
but
that
thou
art
muche
in
his
debt
,
and
very
greatly
bounde
vnto
him
,
for
that
thing
he
payed
so
dearly
for
.
Thou
shalt
do
then
right
,
as
the
wise
man
giueth
thée
counsell
,
not
to
forget
the
grace
and
benefites
thou
haste
receiued
of
such
a
benefactour
,
that
hath
giuen
his
life
for
thée
.
Consider
if
thou
haddest
receyued
of
anye
man
the
like
benefite
,
how
gretly
shouldest
thou
haue
remained
bounde
:
howe
highly
wouldest
thou
haue
praysed
him
?
howe
wouldest
thou
haue
endeuoured
thy selfe
to
haue
serued
him
?
And
therefore
thou
mayst
perswade
with
thy selfe
how
greatly
thou
art
bounde
to
God
thy
Creator
and
Redéemer
:
for
if
thou
mightest
possibly
be
bound
to
any
other
man
whiche
had
deliuered
thée
from
a
corporall
death
:
howe
muche
more
oughtest
thou
to
be
bounde
to
him
that
hath
deliuered
thée
from
the
spirituall
death
of
the
soule
?
And
if
thou
wouldest
acknowledge
thy selfe
muche
beholden
to
a
man
that
had
suffered
a
little
for
thée
:
then
remember
howe
muche
more
thou
owest
to
him
that
is
both
God
and
man
,
who
hath
suffered
suche
paynes
and
tormentes
for
thée
,
and
not
onely
tormentes
,
but
also
moste
bitter
and
shamefull
death
,
through
which
thy
sinnes
were
cancelled
and
rased
oute
of
remembraunce
,
the
might
of
the
diuell
was
broken
to
péeces
,
peace
and
reconciliation
was
made
with
God
,
the
gates
of
heauen
opened
,
besides
other
innumerable
giftes
giuen
thée
.
And
séeing
thou
canst
not
better
recompence
this
so
great
debte
,
then
to
knowe
,
to
loue
,
and
to
be
thankfull
to
thy
benefactour
:
why
then
remember
to
offer
to
him
the
often
sacrifice
of
prayse
and
thankesgiuing
,
as
the
holy
king
&
prophet
Dauid
exhorteth
and
encourageth
thée
to
do
,
styrring
vp
thy
soule
with
those
words
wherewith
he
lifted
vp
his
owne
hart
and
soule
vnto
God
,
saying
:
O
my
soule
blesse
the
Lord
,
and
all
the
powers
within
me
prayse
ye
his
holy
name
.
O
my
soule
blesse
thy
Lorde
,
and
forget
not
how
great
benefites
he
hath
bestowed
vpon
thée
.
But
yet
chiefly
remember
the
greatest
of
all
the
rest
,
which
is
,
to
haue
deliuered
thy
life
from
eternal
death
,
and
to
crowne
thée
with
mercy
in
his
glory
,
if
the
fault
be
not
in
thy selfe
.
As
verily
it
shal
not
be
,
whensoeuer
thou
shalt
declare
thy selfe
thankfull
for
his
giftes
receiued
:
And
that
shalte
thou
do
in
exercising
thy selfe
to
giue
prayse
and
thankes
to
the
giuer
therof
.
And
think
it
therfore
thy
duetie
,
as
often
as
in
this
maner
thou
art
disposed
to
meditate
vpon
the
blessed
passion
,
to
remember
and
endeuour
by
all
meanes
,
earnestly
to
giue
thanks
and
prayse
for
that
entier
louing
charitie
of
thy
Sauiour
,
that
woulde
redéeme
thée
with
his
owne
blood
,
and
for
that
incomparable
patience
of
his
,
by
the
which
he
suffered
all
those
sorrowes
,
iniuries
,
mockes
,
and
scornes
,
as
thou
shalt
call
to
thy
minde
,
béeing
after
this
sorte
occupied
in
thy
meditation
.
And
albeit
that
the
giuing
of
thanks
which
in
this
litle
treatise
is
set
in
the
ende
of
euery
prayer
,
may
helpe
and
serue
thée
to
that
effect
:
yet
neuerthelesse
it
shal
further
thée
muche
,
that
in
thy
discourse
of
meditation
thou
deuise
of
thy selfe
newe
prayses
and
thankes
giuing
,
sayinge
sometimes
:
Thanks
be
to
thée
,
O
my
God
,
for
thy
excéeding
charitie
.
Blessed
mayest
thou
be
in
thy
patience
,
that
wouldest
suffer
suche
tormentes
for
me
.
O
most
innocent
Lamb
,
praysed
and
blessed
be
thy
méekenesse
.
Let
thy
Angels
in
my
behalf
blesse
thée
,
that
wouldest
so
muche
humble
thy selfe
.
And
at
an
other
time
saye
:
When
shall
I
be
able
,
O
my
Lord
,
to
recompence
these
and
other
so
great
paynes
and
sorowes
,
shames
and
reproches
which
thou
hast
suffred
for
me
?
Let
euery
spirite
and
creature
confesse
thy
mercies
,
and
be
thankfull
therefore
.
And
so
vsing
suche
other
lyke
words
of
prayses
,
according
as
thy
deuotion
shall
moue
thée
.
A
declaration
of
the
sixt
manner
of
meditation
,
which
is
by
way
of
admiration
.
The
sixt
maner
is
,
according
to
our
former
diuision
in
order
,
of
admiration
:
which
thy
soule
shall
féele
to
be
very
great
,
if
thou
knowe
once
howe
to
exercise
thy selfe
well
in
that
sort
of
consideration
.
And
séeing
that
the
Prophet
Dauid
vsed
,
as
he
affirmeth
of
him selfe
,
to
consider
and
meditate
in
his
minde
the
maruellous
works
of
God
,
so
is
it
good
reason
that
thou
do
exercise
thy selfe
in
the
meditation
of
his
most
holy
passion
and
death
,
which
is
the
moste
marueilous
worke
amongst
all
that
he
hath
wrought
.
And
who
will
not
maruell
when
he
considereth
that
suche
a
one
did
suffer
,
who
is
the
only
refuge
and
protection
of
al
those
that
do
suffer
?
And
that
he
is
sadde
and
heauy
for
sorowe
,
who
is
the
mirth
and
comforte
of
Angels
:
And
that
he
is
despised
and
scorned
,
who
is
that
Lorde
before
whose
sighte
the
powers
of
heauen
feare
and
tremble
?
Who
can
but
wonder
when
he
remembreth
that
he
dyed
,
who
is
the
lyfe
of
all
thinges
liuing
?
O
howe
aptly
to
this
did
the
Prophete
Abacuc
,
vnderstanding
in
the
spirite
of
prophesie
,
say
:
Lorde
I
considered
thy
works
,
and
I
was
afrayde
.
And
truely
the
causes
of
wonder
be
so
greate
to
make
a
man
muse
thereat
,
that
it
is
more
maruell
to
sée
one
not
maruel
and
muse
,
then
one
that
dothe
muse
and
maruell
at
it
.
For
howe
can
it
be
,
deare
brother
,
but
thou
must
maruell
and
wonder
,
if
thou
consider
the
greatnes
,
the
mightinesse
,
the
highnesse
,
and
the
eternall
maiestie
of
him
that
suffered
so
many
kindes
of
paynes
,
of
iniuries
,
of
tormentes
,
and
of
so
shamefull
a
death
?
And
contrariwise
,
the
basenes
,
the
vilenesse
,
and
the
vnthankfulnes
of
men
,
for
whom
he
suffered
.
And
if
any
of
these
things
being
by
itselfe
considered
,
haue
cause
sufficient
to
make
thée
maruell
:
what
shal
it
be
if
thou
ioyne
all
together
that
his
high
maiestie
hath
suffred
suche
and
so
great
tormentes
for
so
base
and
vile
creatures
?
That
is
to
say
,
that
the
iudge
of
the
liuing
and
the
dead
was
crucified
betwéene
two
théeues
:
that
the
king
of
glory
which
is
adored
of
Angels
,
was
blasphemed
of
most
vile
men
:
who
woulde
not
maruell
?
who
would
not
be
afrayd
?
who
would
not
be
astonnied
to
thinke
vpon
it
?
This
is
one
thing
that
shall
giue
thée
copious
matter
to
wonder
and
maruell
:
to
consider
the
infinite
loue
,
bountie
,
and
mercy
of
God
,
in
this
worke
of
thy
redemption
declared
.
And
thou
shalt
no
lesse
maruell
,
if
thou
consider
the
great
wisedome
he
sheweth
in
the
same
his
passion
and
crosse
:
in
that
he
found
out
so
conuenient
and
apt
meane
to
vanquish
and
ouercome
our
aduersarie
,
euen
as
it
were
with
the
same
weapon
wherwith
he
ouercame
vs
.
And
this
is
it
that
the
Catholike
Churche
singeth
:
That
he
ordeined
the
trée
of
the
crosse
to
be
the
instrument
and
meane
of
our
saluation
:
because
the
diuell
,
like
as
he
wanne
the
victorie
ouer
vs
by
one
trée
:
so
likewise
he
might
be
vanquished
and
troden
vnder
foote
by
an
other
trée
.
Also
his
crosse
and
passion
was
a
most
present
remedie
for
all
our
infirmities
.
For
he
humbling
himselfe
euen
to
the
death
of
the
crosse
,
did
pay
sufficiently
the
price
of
our
disobedience
and
pride
:
Geuing
vs
the
greatest
example
that
might
be
of
his
humilitie
,
which
is
so
necessarie
a
vertue
for
vs
,
besides
diuerse
examples
els
,
as
of
despising
the
worlde
,
and
of
many
other
vertues
spoken
of
before
.
By
meanes
whereof
we
maye
knowe
our
owne
vices
and
amende
them
,
and
chiefly
renounce
and
forsake
our
selfe-love
,
which
is
the
roote
of
all
vice
.
Also
the
remembraunce
of
his
Crosse
and
passion
may
encourage
vs
to
suffer
and
patiently
beare
the
manyfolde
trauels
,
miseries
,
and
griefes
,
whereof
our
life
is
full
:
For
what
greater
comforte
can
there
be
had
then
to
beholde
Christ
nayled
on
the
Crosse
?
whose
woundes
are
sufficient
to
heale
our
woundes
:
whose
paynes
and
griefe
if
we
well
consider
them
,
may
cause
vs
not
so
impatiently
to
take
our
troubles
whatsoeuer
they
be
.
And
likewise
to
inflame
and
kindle
our
loue
towardes
him
,
there
can
not
be
founde
a
better
meane
then
to
lay
before
our
eyes
how
gretly
and
entierly
he
loued
vs
,
in
suffering
so
much
for
vs
,
and
that
he
hath
left
vs
so
great
ryches
of
his
mercies
,
of
Sacraments
,
of
examples
,
of
conforts
,
of
satisfactions
,
of
fayth
,
of
hope
,
of
deuotion
,
of
consolation
.
Beholde
Christ
with
diligent
eyes
vpon
the
Crosse
,
and
thou
shalt
finde
hid
therein
so
great
and
so
wonderfull
treasures
,
that
they
will
cause
thée
to
crye
out
&
say
with
Saint
Paule
:
O
the
dep●nesse
of
the
ryches
,
of
the
wisedome
,
and
knowledge
of
God
.
Thou
shalt
finde
also
good
cause
to
maruell
,
if
thou
consider
his
great
power
and
might
whiche
he
shewed
in
his
passion
:
for
so
muche
as
thereby
he
ouercame
the
diuell
,
and
being
exalted
on
the
Crosse
,
he
drew
all
things
to
him
,
as
he
saide
before
,
&
dying
he
destroyed
death
,
triumphing
ouer
the
world
and
hell
.
Thou
shalt
likewise
finde
good
cause
to
wonder
,
if
thou
marke
well
the
iustice
he
obserued
in
his
passion
and
death
,
in
that
he
would
not
our
sinnes
and
offences
should
remayne
without
recompence
and
satisfaction
,
and
by
it
giue
remission
and
pardon
of
them
,
and
that
more
fréely
and
fully
,
then
of
our
part
was
due
or
deserued
.
And
by
howe
much
more
thou
art
willing
to
consider
&
search
out
the
secrets
of
the
Crosse
,
so
muche
the
more
high
mysteries
shall
be
reuealed
vnto
thée
,
and
cause
thée
not
only
to
maruell
,
but
also
to
be
greatly
amased
.
And
then
shalte
thou
knowe
that
Saint
Paule
the
Apostle
spake
not
without
great
cause
,
when
he
sayde
:
He
would
preache
none
other
,
nor
would
learne
to
knowe
any
other
thing
,
but
Iesus
Christ
and
him
crucified
.
By
this
then
hitherto
said
,
thou
mayst
gather
and
perceiue
how
copious
matter
thou
haste
to
maruell
and
wonder
at
,
when
thou
art
in
this
maner
disposed
to
meditate
vpon
the
death
and
passion
of
thy
Redéemer
.
All
whiche
the
better
to
retayne
in
memorye
,
thou
mayest
reduce
and
bring
them
to
these
poyntes
.
The
first
is
,
to
consider
the
infinite
highnesse
and
maiestie
of
thy
Lorde
that
suffered
for
thée
.
The
seconde
is
,
the
seruile
and
base
estate
of
them
for
whom
he
suffered
.
Thirdly
,
the
wonderfull
tormentes
and
iniuries
which
he
suffered
.
Fourthly
,
the
wisedome
,
power
,
and
iustice
which
he
declared
in
his
blessed
passion
and
death
.
These
things
in
maner
before
specified
and
others
that
may
happen
to
come
into
thy
remembraunce
whiles
thou
art
in
thy
meditation
,
if
thou
consider
them
as
thou
oughtest
attentiuely
,
shall
minister
occasion
vnto
thée
,
greatly
to
maruell
and
wonder
at
this
diuine
mysterie
.
A
declaration
of
the
seuenth
manner
of
meditation
,
which
is
by
way
of
hope
and
reioysing
.
The
seuenth
manner
of
meditation
we
sayde
was
by
waye
of
reioysing
and
hope
:
Whiche
kinde
of
meditation
is
very
necessarie
also
sometime
to
vse
.
For
when
a
man
shal
with
him selfe
consider
,
howe
great
the
wickednesse
and
euill
of
sinne
is
,
howe
odious
it
is
,
and
howe
muche
it
displeaseth
God
,
séeing
for
the
due
punishment
thereof
,
and
for
to
repaye
and
repayre
the
great
losses
it
had
caused
in
the
worlde
,
our
Lorde
him self
came
downe
from
heauen
,
and
after
so
great
trauels
and
paynefull
life
,
at
the
laste
he
would
suffer
so
bitter
passion
and
death
:
And
when
he
shall
likewise
call
to
minde
,
that
he
hath
runne
and
fallen
into
his
haynous
euill
and
sinfulnesse
,
not
only
once
,
but
many
times
and
in
diuerse
sortes
:
he
shall
then
rest
so
sad
and
dismayed
,
that
he
shall
néede
of
some
speciall
helpe
for
to
comfort
him
,
that
he
dispayre
not
in
him selfe
when
he
remembreth
that
he
shall
appeare
before
the
iudgement
seate
of
the
fearfull
iudge
,
to
yéelde
the
account
of
all
his
life
.
To
remember
this
,
it
hath
made
not
onely
many
sinners
to
feare
and
tremble
,
but
also
iuste
men
and
persons
of
holy
life
,
as
is
to
be
séene
by
those
wordes
whiche
that
iuste
m●n
Iob
spake
:
That
euen
as
the
maryner
feareth
when
he
seeth
the
swelling
waues
of
the
seas
,
so
he
feared
God
.
And
this
feare
doth
often
grow
to
a
man
,
when
he
remembreth
the
latter
day
:
because
he
knoweth
that
to
be
true
whiche
is
spoken
by
the
Prophet
Dauid
,
that
no
man
liuing
shall
be
iustified
before
God
.
Nowe
if
the
iuste
shall
scarsly
be
saued
,
as
Saint
Peter
sayth
,
howe
shall
the
sinner
do
,
whiche
remembreth
howe
greatly
and
howe
many
wayes
he
hath
offended
God
,
for
the
whiche
he
hath
deserued
to
be
condemned
,
not
once
,
but
many
times
.
Therfore
,
good
brother
,
when
thou
shalt
find
thy selfe
to
stand
in
like
feare
and
dispayre
,
one
of
the
best
remedies
that
thou
canst
haue
to
comfort
thy selfe
and
pull
vp
thy
hart
againe
,
is
,
to
remember
and
bethinke
thy selfe
what
thy
moste
mercyfull
Sauiour
hath
done
and
suffred
for
thée
.
The
very
same
remedie
the
prophet
Dauid
signified
that
he
founde
,
when
he
sayde
:
My
soule
is
troubled
within
me self
,
and
therfore
will
I
remember
me
of
thée
in
the
lande
of
Iordan
,
and
Hermon
,
and
in
the
litle
hill
.
In
which
wordes
he
teacheth
vs
that
the
remedie
a
man
may
haue
,
féeling
himself
sorowfull
,
sad
,
and
troubled
in
spirit
,
for
the
remembraunce
of
his
sins
,
or
for
any
other
thing
:
is
to
remember
him self
agayne
what
Christe
did
for
vs
in
his
life
,
which
is
signified
by
the
land
of
Iordan
and
Hermon
where
he
was
baptised
,
preached
,
and
was
conuersant
.
And
likewise
to
call
to
minde
that
whiche
he
suffered
,
which
is
noted
by
the
litle
hill
,
that
is
to
say
,
at
Caluarie
,
where
he
was
crucified
.
When
therefore
thou
shalte
sée
thy selfe
troubled
in
minde
,
sorrowfull
,
sad
,
and
afflicted
,
considering
the
bottomlesse
pitte
of
thy
sinnes
,
of
thy
blindnesse
passed
,
and
of
the
myserie
present
wherein
thou
findest
thy selfe
:
turne
then
thy
consideration
to
thinke
vpon
the
déepnesse
of
the
mercy
of
thy
moste
gracious
Lorde
,
who
for
thée
and
thy
saluation
came
downe
from
heauen
and
was
made
man
,
and
for
thy
sake
was
crucified
and
died
.
Consider
therfore
the
plentyfull
redemption
he
hath
lefte
for
thée
,
and
that
if
thou
haue
offended
muche
,
he
hath
muche
satisfied
for
thée
,
if
thou
be
willing
&
diligent
to
know
how
by
his
satisfaction
to
helpe
thy self
.
If
the
multitude
of
the
sinnes
thou
hast
committed
do
feare
thée
,
bicause
thou
hast
thereby
iustly
deserued
to
be
condemned
,
comforte
thy selfe
in
thinking
howe
he
hath
fully
satisfied
the
iustice
of
God
,
because
thou
shuldest
participate
of
his
mercies
.
If
thou
faynt
,
dispaire
,
or
els
miscrust
thy
owne
pouertie
,
and
the
small
good
seruice
thou
hast
done
towards
god
:
remember
thy selfe
of
the
great
riches
and
merites
he
hath
lefte
thée
by
meanes
of
his
passion
,
in
the
which
thou
mayest
chiefly
beholde
and
put
all
thy
trust
.
But
yet
so
that
thou
fayle
not
to
endeuour
thy selfe
to
the
vttermost
of
thy
power
to
serue
and
please
him
.
And
remember
also
howe
that
Lorde
which
in
time
to
come
shall
be
thy
iudge
,
is
at
this
present
thy
aduocate
to
god
the
Father
eternall
,
to
whom
he
showeth
those
his
fiue
blessed
wounds
,
with
the
markes
and
signes
wherewith
it
was
his
pleasure
to
be
séene
after
his
resurrection
:
because
his
heauenly
father
should
thereby
be
inclined
to
haue
mercy
vpon
vs
,
and
to
vs
they
should
be
a
testimony
of
the
loue
he
bare
vs
.
Whiche
both
the
one
and
the
other
shall
giue
thée
great
occasion
&
holdefast
of
hope
and
comfort
.
Moreouer
consider
the
number
of
Sacraments
he
hath
left
thée
in
this
Churche
,
as
strong
effectuous
medicins
and
salues
,
for
all
the
wounds
,
sores
,
&
infirmities
which
thou
canst
haue
.
Remember
also
that
,
euen
as
the
Apostle
sayth
,
better
and
lowder
crieth
the
blood
whiche
Christ
shed
,
then
the
blood
of
Abel
.
Because
the
blood
of
Abel
asked
vengeance
agaynst
his
brother
that
shed
it
:
but
the
precious
blood
of
Christe
asketh
mercy
and
pardon
for
them
that
shed
it
,
and
also
for
al
them
that
trust
in
it
.
Sée
therefore
howe
great
hope
and
ioy
thou
mayest
receiue
in
vsing
of
this
kinde
of
meditation
vpon
the
holy
passion
.
And
the
order
thou
oughtest
to
obserue
herein
,
is
,
that
when
thou
art
disposed
to
meditate
vpon
that
which
thy
Redéemer
hath
suffered
,
then
assuredly
accounte
and
thinke
all
was
done
for
thy
sake
,
and
that
the
plentifull
fruite
&
benefite
which
by
meanes
of
his
passion
and
death
he
hath
purchased
,
was
for
thée
and
to
thy
behoue
,
and
he
would
that
thou
shuldest
be
partaker
thereof
,
if
the
fault
be
not
in
thy selfe
.
So
that
thou
mayest
assuredly
beléeue
,
that
his
tormentes
be
thine
,
that
his
teares
and
sorowes
are
thine
,
the
infinite
price
of
his
blood-shedding
to
be
thine
,
and
finally
that
all
his
death
and
passion
is
thine
.
For
as
we
haue
said
,
for
thée
he
suffred
,
and
he
gratiously
would
thou
shouldest
be
partaker
of
the
fruite
thereof
,
so
to
vnderstand
what
precious
treasure
thou
hast
layde
vp
in
him
.
Whiche
consideration
shall
so
ease
thée
of
thy
payne
and
feare
,
and
giue
thée
so
great
hope
and
gladnesse
,
that
it
shall
cause
thée
to
saye
with
Saint
Paule
:
God
forbidde
that
I
shoulde
reioyce
or
glory
in
any
thing
els
,
but
in
the
Crosse
of
my
Lorde
Iesu
Christ
.
And
worthily
,
for
in
it
thou
hast
an
infinite
treasure
,
by
meanes
whereof
thou
hast
obtayned
saluation
and
reconciliation
betwéene
God
and
thée
,
and
thy
sinnes
be
forgiuen
thée
,
thou
art
receiued
for
the
sonne
of
god
,
the
gate
of
heauen
is
opened
vnto
thée
,
and
with
it
and
by
it
all
goodnesse
in
one
heape
is
cast
vnto
thée
.
Sée
then
what
cause
thou
hast
to
reioyce
and
leape
for
gladnesse
considering
this
.
But
here
I
must
not
forget
to
aduise
thée
,
that
when
after
this
sort
thou
hast
meditate
vpon
this
holy
mysterie
,
thou
must
remember
that
this
hope
and
ioye
which
thou
shalt
féele
in
finding
thy selfe
so
enriched
and
full
of
spirituall
treasures
:
they
cause
thée
not
to
wax
colde
,
negligent
,
and
slouthful
in
good
workes
,
but
rather
that
therby
thou
be
stirred
&
pricked
forward
in
feruent
and
earnest
loue
of
God
,
and
to
serue
him
:
Aswell
to
shew
thy selfe
,
as
good
reason
is
,
thankfull
to
thy
benefactor
,
as
also
lest
he
take
away
agayne
from
thée
the
same
his
giftes
and
riches
,
as
it
hath
happened
to
others
for
their
vnthankfulnesse
and
negligence
.
And
thus
much
touching
this
maner
of
meditation
.
A
declaration
of
the
eight
maner
of
meditation
,
by
the
way
of
loue
.
The
eight
kinde
and
sorte
of
meditation
vpon
the
passion
,
is
by
way
of
loue
,
whiche
we
haue
placed
here
lastly
,
because
according
to
the
mind
of
Saint
Paule
:
Like
as
the
ende
of
the
commaundementes
is
charitie
or
loue
procéeding
from
a
pure
heart
:
So
also
the
principall
purpose
and
ende
of
meditation
vpon
this
holy
mysterie
and
others
,
is
,
that
the
soule
may
remayne
inflamed
in
the
loue
of
God
.
According
to
that
which
the
holy
prophet
Dauid
vnderstoode
when
he
sayd
:
In
my
meditation
the
fyre
shall
be
kindled
,
that
is
to
say
,
my
soule
shall
be
inflamed
with
the
fyre
of
the
loue
of
God
and
true
charitie
.
And
among
all
meditations
in
the
which
this
heauenly
fyre
is
kindled
,
the
chiefest
is
this
of
the
passion
and
death
of
our
Redéemer
.
Bicause
if
there
be
any
thing
that
hath
force
to
drawe
the
loue
of
one
man
to
loue
an
other
,
it
is
to
knowe
that
he
is
loued
of
the
other
:
and
so
there
can
not
be
a
thing
in
the
worlde
more
apte
to
drawe
the
heart
of
a
Christian
to
loue
God
,
then
to
consider
how
God
first
loued
him
,
the
whiche
he
may
very
well
vnderstande
by
that
whiche
he
did
and
suffered
for
him
.
And
if
it
be
the
greatest
signe
that
a
friend
can
showe
of
that
loue
he
beareth
towardes
an
other
,
to
giue
his
owne
life
for
him
,
as
he
our
Lord
him self
sayth
,
this
signe
then
haue
we
most
manifestly
of
the
loue
he
bare
vs
,
for
that
his
will
was
to
giue
his
most
precious
lyfe
for
vs
,
or
rather
as
Saint
Paul
concludeth
,
a
greater
signe
can
we
not
haue
of
his
innumerable
loue
,
then
to
knowe
his
will
was
to
offer
him selfe
vnto
death
,
euen
the
death
of
the
crosse
,
and
that
not
only
for
his
friendes
,
but
also
for
his
enemies
.
If
then
thou
were
negligent
,
slouthfull
,
and
cold
to
loue
God
before
thou
knewest
how
much
he
loued
thée
:
nowe
thou
doest
knowe
it
by
suche
and
so
many
signes
and
argumentes
,
endeuour
to
him
which
hath
so
loued
thée
.
Call
to
minde
in
this
mysterie
how
streatly
thou
art
beloued
of
al
the
whole
Trinitie
,
séeing
the
father
so
muche
loued
thée
,
that
he
gaue
his
onely
begotten
sonne
vnto
death
for
thée
.
Remember
wel
those
words
of
the
Euangelist
S.
Iohn
,
which
saith
in
this
maner
:
So
God
loued
the
worlde
that
for
it
he
gaue
his
onely
begotten
sonne
.
In
which
wordes
thou
mayest
knowe
the
greatnes
of
the
person
of
whom
thou
art
so
beloued
,
and
that
is
the
Father
almightie
maker
of
heauen
and
of
earth
:
and
also
the
greatnes
of
his
loue
wherewith
he
loued
thée
is
manyfest
,
by
the
greatnes
of
the
gifte
whiche
he
gaue
thée
,
and
that
is
his
only
begotten
sonne
,
who
hath
the
same
like
infinite
power
,
bounty
and
maiestie
with
the
father
.
And
this
suche
a
sonne
he
hath
graciously
giuen
thée
,
that
taking
thy
humanitie
or
manhood
,
he
might
dye
in
the
same
for
thée
and
redéeme
thée
,
in
suche
sorte
as
the
Apostle
sayth
,
God
spared
not
his
owne
sonne
,
to
pardon
vs
his
miserable
seruants
.
O
inestimable
loue
,
and
greater
then
any
vnderstanding
can
comprehende
.
And
likewise
the
loue
of
the
Sonne
was
nothing
lesse
then
this
of
the
Father
,
in
that
he
came
downe
from
heauen
and
was
incarnate
for
thée
,
spente
hys
lyfe
and
dyed
for
thée
,
that
by
suche
meanes
he
might
in
diuers
sortes
be
giuen
to
thée
:
In
byrth
as
thy
companion
,
in
life
as
thy
comfort
,
in
his
last
Supper
as
thy
foode
,
in
death
as
price
for
thée
,
in
heauen
as
a
rewarde
for
thée
.
And
as
the
loue
of
the
Father
and
the
Sonne
was
towardes
thée
,
so
was
the
loue
of
the
holy
Ghost
,
who
willed
&
wrought
together
with
the
father
and
the
sonne
,
thy
saluation
&
redemption
.
Now
the
most
blessed
and
glorious
Trinitie
hath
so
loued
thée
,
how
canst
thou
be
so
slacke
in
rendring
to
him
loue
for
loue
,
séeing
that
loue
can
not
be
repayed
but
with
loue
.
And
if
thou
vnderstande
not
this
excéeding
loue
of
God
by
other
benefites
whiche
he
hath
done
for
thée
,
as
in
thy
creation
and
conseruation
:
consider
yet
what
thou
hast
receiued
of
him
in
thy
reparation
and
redemption
,
&
then
shalt
thou
perceiue
how
true
those
words
be
which
he
spake
by
the
prophet
Ieremie
:
With
perpetual
loue
haue
I
loued
thée
,
and
therefore
haue
I
drawen
thée
to
me
in
hauing
mercy
vpon
thée
.
These
be
the
sharpe
arrowes
which
the
kingly
prophet
Dauid
speaketh
of
,
sufficient
to
pearce
anye
hard
hart
.
These
be
the
new
warres
which
the
scripture
speaketh
of
,
that
a
king
is
from
heauen
elected
to
subdue
and
conquer
men
of
the
earth
:
Differing
from
the
first
,
which
he
made
with
thretnings
and
feare
.
These
be
the
ropes
of
Adam
,
and
the
cordes
of
charitie
with
which
the
prophet
O
say
sayth
he
would
draw
men
vnto
him
.
Because
if
they
will
worke
according
to
the
vse
of
reason
,
which
they
haue
in
respect
they
be
reasonable
men
,
they
ought
not
to
be
more
vnreasonable
then
brute
beastes
,
who
suffer
them selues
to
be
drawen
with
ropes
and
halters
in
finding
them selues
forced
and
constrayned
to
loue
such
as
loueth
them
.
When
thou
therefore
shalte
meditate
vppon
the
death
and
passion
of
thy
Redéemer
,
let
the
principall
ende
of
thy
trauell
be
to
be
rauished
in
the
loue
of
such
a
Lorde
that
hath
so
loued
thée
,
and
by
so
many
profes
hath
wel
declared
his
loue
towards
thée
:
and
assure
thy selfe
that
al
those
stripes
and
bloodye
woundes
which
thou
beholdest
in
him
,
be
voyces
crying
and
testifying
his
deare
and
true
loue
towardes
thée
.
Beholde
him
vppon
the
Crosse
thrust
through
with
a
speare
,
and
thou
shalte
perceiue
how
he
prouoketh
and
forceth
thée
to
loue
him
.
His
féete
so
nayled
do
showe
that
he
will
tarie
for
thée
,
if
thou
wilte
returne
&
come
agayne
to
him
.
His
armes
so
stretched
do
signifie
that
he
desireth
to
embrace
thée
.
His
head
so
bowed
downe
,
doth
signifie
that
he
will
giue
thée
the
kisse
of
grace
.
That
side
of
his
opened
with
a
spere
,
doth
manifestly
shew
that
he
is
willing
to
giue
thée
a
place
in
his
hart
,
where
thou
mayst
rest
thy selfe
quietly
&
surely
.
And
what
other
thing
might
he
do
for
thée
,
which
he
hath
not
done
?
And
what
other
thing
doth
he
more
require
of
thée
,
but
in
that
acknowledging
this
his
loue
,
thou
answere
him
agayne
with
thy
loue
?
O
moste
swéete
Iesu
the
true
louer
of
men
,
what
is
he
,
if
he
well
consider
this
and
know
it
,
that
can
denie
the
thing
thou
requirest
of
him
,
and
for
so
many
causes
is
due
vnto
thée
?
And
howe
can
any
man
excuse
himselfe
to
loue
thée
,
béeing
pricked
forwarde
and
prouoked
with
so
many
motions
and
swéete
callings
of
thy
diuine
loue
?
Be
not
therefore
,
my
good
brother
,
vnthankfull
,
nor
so
dull
to
vnderstande
this
his
so
great
loue
,
for
the
which
it
should
behoue
thy
hart
to
melt
euen
as
the
wax
,
whensoeuer
thou
remembrest
that
he
loued
thée
first
,
and
that
he
washed
thée
with
his
precious
blood
.
Denie
him
not
the
tribute
of
loue
thou
owest
him
,
for
although
he
haue
forgiuen
thée
other
thy
debtes
,
yet
this
he
will
not
discharge
or
acquite
thée
of
,
but
rather
affirmeth
that
he
came
to
put
fyre
on
the
earth
,
and
woulde
that
it
should
burne
continually
.
And
in
figure
of
this
he
commaunded
in
the
olde
lawe
,
that
the
fyre
shoulde
stande
alwayes
kindled
vppon
his
altar
.
The
whiche
is
not
so
muche
ment
of
the
materiall
fyre
,
as
of
the
spirituall
,
which
is
our
loue
towards
him
,
and
that
he
would
should
alwayes
burne
vpon
the
altar
of
our
heart
,
because
that
sacrifice
is
alwayes
acceptable
to
him
whiche
is
offered
with
suche
fyre
.
And
because
this
maye
be
nourished
and
maynteined
,
it
behoueth
that
euen
as
the
Priestes
in
the
olde
Lawe
did
bring
of
all
sortes
of
materiall
wood
for
to
maynteyne
and
kéepe
in
that
materiall
fyre
:
So
thou
muste
be
carefull
to
laye
on
that
spirituall
woode
,
and
that
is
of
the
Crosse
,
of
the
whippes
and
roddes
,
of
the
speare
and
other
instrumentes
of
that
holy
passion
,
whervpon
if
thou
deuoutly
meditate
,
it
shall
stande
thée
in
stead
of
wood
most
fit
to
kindle
thy
deuotion
and
loue
towards
God
.
Let
the
conclusion
therefore
be
of
that
which
we
haue
hitherto
saide
:
that
in
meditating
after
this
maner
vpon
this
holy
mysterie
,
and
knowing
by
it
how
much
thou
art
bounde
(
as
is
declared
)
for
that
whiche
he
hath
suffred
for
thée
,
and
muche
more
for
the
loue
in
whiche
he
suffred
,
&
that
was
muche
more
then
his
excessiue
tormentes
:
thou
must
render
and
yéelde
vnto
him
the
best
recompence
thou
canst
,
whiche
is
but
loue
for
loue
.
And
this
thou
shalt
do
,
if
thou
be
minde
●ull
alwayes
to
haue
thy
heart
inflamed
in
loue
towardes
him
,
&
melting
with
the
meditation
and
remembraunce
of
his
tender
loue
towards
thée
.
Thus
then
as
thou
seest
we
haue
declared
vnto
thée
all
the
foresayde
orders
of
meditation
vpon
the
passon
:
but
yet
for
thy
better
exercise
thou
mayst
helpe
thy selfe
with
these
aduises
following
.
¶
Certayne
aduises
which
may
be
obserued
in
the
sayd
meditations
,
or
in
any
other
.
NOwe
thou
hast
séene
all
the
aforesaide
kinds
and
sorts
of
meditation
,
it
doth
remayne
for
a
conclusion
and
accomplishment
of
these
instructions
,
to
giue
thée
briefly
certayne
aduises
whereby
thou
mayest
with
more
fruite
and
swéetenesse
exercise
thy selfe
in
the
same
.
The
whiche
maye
not
onely
helpe
thée
to
meditate
vpon
the
mysterie
of
Christes
passion
,
but
also
in
anye
other
meditation
else
vppon
his
life
,
or
prayers
,
whiche
thou
doest
intende
to
mark
.
And
in
these
aduises
thou
shalt
learne
thrée
things
.
The
first
,
what
order
thou
must
obserue
before
thou
entrest
into
thy
meditation
.
Secondarily
,
the
maner
of
procéeding
in
thy
meditation
.
And
the
third
,
what
thou
shouldest
doe
when
thou
haste
finished
thy
meditation
.
The
first
aduise
to
be
had
before
thy
meditation
,
is
to
be
learned
of
the
wise
man
,
who
counselleth
thée
that
before
thou
pray
,
thou
prepare
thy
minde
or
heart
.
Which
preparation
consisteth
in
endeuouring
to
go
about
this
holy
exercise
with
the
greatest
clennesse
and
purenesse
of
heart
and
mind
thou
canst
.
For
euen
as
we
should
sée
alwayes
that
the
vessell
be
well
washed
&
cleane
,
in
whiche
we
purpose
to
put
any
kinde
of
precious
liquor
:
Agreable
to
that
which
our
Sauiour
sayth
:
That
men
vse
not
to
put
newe
wine
into
olde
bottels
.
So
also
to
receiue
the
newe
wine
or
must
of
that
heauenly
loue
,
and
precious
liquor
of
grace
,
deuotion
and
other
giftes
that
the
mercy
of
God
is
willing
to
bestowe
vpon
vs
:
it
is
necessarie
that
the
vessell
which
should
receiue
it
,
that
is
the
soule
,
be
pure
and
made
freshe
.
And
the
more
washed
and
cleane
it
shall
be
,
so
muche
the
feruenter
and
better
disposition
it
shall
haue
,
to
receiue
more
aboundantly
this
moste
precious
liquor
.
It
shall
be
therefore
good
,
before
thou
beginne
to
meditate
,
that
thou
examine
thy
conscience
,
and
make
clene
and
swéepe
the
dust
and
filthe
whiche
thou
findest
therein
,
the
whiche
commonly
are
wont
to
be
veniall
sinnes
,
that
is
to
say
,
vayne
thoughtes
,
idle
wordes
,
negligences
,
and
other
like
things
which
do
easily
cleaue
and
sticke
fast
in
vs
,
or
rather
let
and
take
away
that
perfect
holynes
and
puritie
with
which
a
man
ought
to
endeuour
earnestly
to
appeare
before
the
sight
of
God
.
This
thou
mayest
do
in
asking
God
humbly
pardon
for
thy
particuler
faults
,
which
thou
shalt
remember
to
haue
committed
:
for
which
and
for
other
generall
defectes
that
thou
canst
not
remember
,
thou
mayest
saye
at
the
beginning
of
thy
meditation
,
the
generall
confession
,
with
the
hymne
of
the
holy
Ghost
,
or
one
Pater
noster
,
and
an
Aue
Maria
,
or
some
other
prayer
,
as
shal
séeme
beste
for
thy
purpose
,
desiring
God
of
his
grace
to
spende
that
time
in
meditation
,
with
suche
attention
,
reuerence
,
and
deuotion
as
thou
art
bound
to
,
and
shall
be
most
acceptable
to
his
diuine
maiestie
.
The
second
aduise
is
,
that
thou
endeuour
so
to
set
thy
things
in
order
before
thou
pray
,
that
thy
thought
and
care
of
that
which
thou
hast
after
to
do
,
molest
and
trouble
thée
not
,
or
let
thée
in
thy
prayer
.
The
whiche
thou
mayest
do
,
if
thou
first
dispatche
all
thinges
thou
haste
to
doe
,
if
thou
mayest
commodiously
:
or
else
in
making
accounte
with
thy selfe
,
not
to
haue
any
other
care
or
businesse
in
the
worlde
,
but
that
whiche
thou
goest
about
,
and
that
is
the
gretest
and
chiefest
thou
canst
do
,
if
that
vpon
thine
obedience
there
be
none
other
thing
appoynted
thée
in
charge
.
Finally
thou
muste
endeuour
to
be
frée
and
ridde
cleane
from
all
other
cares
and
thoughtes
,
when
thou
giuest
thy selfe
to
this
exercise
:
remembring
that
when
the
Patriarch
Abraham
went
with
his
sonne
Isahac
to
offer
him
in
sacrifice
,
when
they
came
to
the
foote
of
the
hill
where
he
should
sacrifice
him
,
he
sayd
to
his
seruaunts
that
wayted
vpon
him
,
Tarie
there
beneath
a
while
,
till
I
come
agayne
vnto
you
after
we
haue
prayed
to
God
:
Euen
so
likewise
shall
it
be
requisite
that
thou
commaunde
thy
thoughtes
and
cares
to
tary
without
,
when
thou
goest
to
the
place
where
thou
muste
offer
to
God
the
sacrifice
of
thy
prayer
.
As
we
reade
a
certen
holy
man
did
alwayes
at
the
Churche
doore
euery
time
he
went
in
to
pray
,
and
then
he
made
his
prayer
with
more
fruite
of
deuotion
&
comfort
,
when
the
soule
so
rested
in
solitary
maner
to
it selfe
,
ridde
and
discharged
from
all
other
impertinent
cares
and
thoughts
,
so
that
he
might
truly
say
as
the
spouse
in
the
Canticles
:
I
to
my
welbeloued
,
and
my
welbeloued
to
me
.
In
suche
sort
that
for
the
time
present
she
harken
to
none
other
voyce
or
companie
.
The
thirde
counsell
is
,
that
thou
giue
thy selfe
to
this
holye
exercise
with
a
right
and
perfect
intent
:
for
that
there
be
diuers
respectes
and
endes
with
which
many
go
to
prayer
and
meditation
:
some
to
the
ende
they
may
receiue
:
some
to
taste
of
spirituall
comforte
,
whiche
at
other
times
they
haue
proued
:
Some
to
desire
of
God
some
particular
grace
,
gifte
,
or
vertue
,
which
many
desire
,
knowing
that
to
be
the
principall
meane
to
obtayne
it
:
Some
to
represent
before
God
as
their
moste
mercifull
father
,
their
trauels
,
troubles
,
and
temptations
,
their
spirituall
and
corporall
necessities
,
desiring
to
be
deliuered
from
them
.
Finallye
,
other
some
goe
to
praye
,
to
fulfill
a
good
vse
and
custome
they
haue
euery
daye
so
to
exercise
them selfe
,
or
because
they
be
vppon
their
obedience
so
commaunded
to
doo
.
And
albeit
these
and
suche
other
like
causes
may
be
both
good
and
laudable
:
yet
the
principall
purpose
and
ende
of
this
thy
exercise
:
must
be
for
pure
loue
and
only
for
the
glory
of
God
.
So
that
thy
owne
particuler
necessitie
or
néede
,
or
thine
owne
comfort
,
gaine
,
and
profit
ought
not
so
much
to
moue
thée
,
as
the
ende
&
desire
thou
shouldest
haue
in
all
thinges
to
séeke
for
the
glory
of
God
&
to
please
him
,
euen
as
the
Apostle
counselleth
thée
,
that
al
things
which
we
doo
,
be
for
the
glory
of
God
.
This
than
being
thy
principall
scope
and
intent
,
it
shall
cause
thée
with
chéerefull
hart
&
willing
minde
to
meditate
or
pray
,
consideryng
that
God
woulde
that
those
giftes
which
his
seruauntes
doo
offer
vnto
him
,
and
the
seruice
that
thy
doo
,
be
offered
and
done
chéerefully
&
willingly
.
And
this
wise
thou
shalt
alwayes
finde
fruit
and
contentation
of
minde
in
thy
prayer
and
meditation
,
if
perchaunce
thou
finde
thy selfe
dry
without
spirituall
taste
in
it
.
These
thrée
aduises
which
we
haue
hitherto
declared
of
the
cleannesse
of
conscience
&
quietnes
of
minde
from
all
other
busines
,
therby
to
come
with
more
attentiue
pure
mind
to
the
glorie
of
God
,
may
helpe
this
before
thou
begin
to
pray
.
And
the
other
thrée
no
lesse
necessarie
aduises
,
are
to
bée
vsed
duryng
the
tyme
of
thy
prayer
:
of
the
which
the
first
is
,
that
the
misteries
which
thou
doest
meditate
vpon
,
be
not
curiously
searched
into
of
thée
,
either
with
too
much
speculation
,
in
going
aboute
subtillye
to
séeke
out
diuers
points
,
arguments
,
comparisons
&
imaginations
,
the
better
to
vnderstande
them
,
where
as
in
déede
it
doth
rather
distract
the
vnderstanding
&
hynder
deuotion
,
according
to
that
which
the
wyse
man
sayeth
:
That
he
which
is
inquisitiue
of
his
maiestie
,
shall
be
oppressed
of
hys
glory
.
And
the
heauenly
spouse
sayeth
to
the
soule
his
spouse
:
Turne
away
thy
eyes
from
me
bicause
they
make
me
fly
away
:
which
is
to
be
vnderstande
by
curious
eyes
,
with
which
shée
woulde
beholde
him
in
prayer
.
Wherfore
endeuour
to
stand
in
it
,
with
a
simple
&
humble
sight
of
the
mistery
which
thou
shalt
thinke
vpon
,
beholding
it
inwardly
,
or
outwardly
,
as
though
thou
sawest
it
present
before
thée
.
To
the
whiche
it
maye
helpe
thée
to
haue
before
thy
eye
the
image
of
the
misterie
which
thou
shalt
meditate
vppon
,
and
with
the
onely
syght
and
regarde
of
it
outwardlye
content
thy selfe
,
withoute
busie
discoursings
of
the
minde
,
or
imaginations
vpon
other
thinges
impertinent
.
Nor
yet
must
thou
doe
any
violence
to
thy
wil
,
that
is
,
to
wrest
out
as
it
were
by
force
some
teares
or
sensible
deuotion
:
because
all
this
hurteth
,
healeth
,
and
helpeth
,
little
to
that
thou
goest
about
.
Therefore
studie
to
meditate
quietly
and
closely
the
pointes
which
are
sette
before
thée
,
abyding
with
silence
and
hope
,
as
the
scripture
saieth
,
the
grace
that
God
shall
vouchsafe
to
giue
thée
.
The
seconde
aduise
is
,
that
if
in
meditation
thou
shalt
fynde
thy selfe
ouer
drie
and
without
tast
of
deuotion
,
or
else
to
much
distract
with
diuers
cogitations
and
wauering
of
the
minde
:
thou
must
not
therfore
be
troubled
,
nor
yet
ceasse
to
goe
forwarde
in
thy
exercise
,
but
in
such
case
thou
mayest
helpe
thy self
with
some
colloquies
&
talk
with
thy
Lorde
God
,
to
whom
thou
shalte
open
thy
distraction
and
wearinesse
,
desiring
him
to
helpe
thée
to
dryue
away
those
busie
flyes
of
thoughtes
and
imaginations
which
drawe
vnto
thée
,
to
wast
the
swéete
oyntment
of
thy
deuotion
.
If
thou
wilt
this
doe
,
with
that
faythe
,
humilitie
,
and
patience
as
is
requisite
thereto
:
God
which
regardeth
and
heareth
the
prayers
of
the
humble
,
will
haue
compassion
of
the
trouble
thou
doest
suffer
,
and
will
visite
and
comfort
thée
presently
,
or
after
when
it
shal
be
expedient
for
thée
.
For
so
we
reade
in
the
booke
of
Genesis
,
that
Abraham
offring
on
a
tyme
sacrifice
to
God
of
certayne
beastes
which
he
had
killed
,
there
came
byrds
to
eate
the
fleshe
of
those
beastes
,
and
to
lette
the
sacrifice
:
so
that
he
was
troubled
and
occupyed
a
good
part
of
the
day
in
driuing
away
those
byrdes
,
that
they
should
not
come
néere
the
sacrifice
,
wherby
he
deserued
of
God
to
bée
visited
and
comforted
with
a
quiet
and
pleasaunt
vision
,
which
he
sent
him
,
wherein
he
receaued
a
great
reuelation
.
The
which
is
a
figure
of
the
rewarde
that
our
Lorde
God
is
wont
to
gyue
afterwardes
to
them
who
busily
driue
away
the
little
byrdes
of
temptation
and
lothsomenesse
,
which
commonly
happen
to
them
that
offer
the
sacrifice
of
prayer
.
And
therefore
the
wyse
man
sayeth
that
the
end
of
prayer
is
better
than
the
beginning
.
Because
that
albeit
a
man
in
the
beginning
féeleth
him selfe
colde
&
distract
,
yet
afterwardes
in
the
discourse
of
his
meditation
,
he
gathereth
himselfe
to gether
,
&
calling
his
wits
to
him
,
begynneth
to
be
feruent
,
&
fyndeth
consolation
.
And
if
so
be
he
fayleth
of
this
at
one
tyme
,
yet
it
is
supplyed
at
an
other
.
The
thirde
aduise
is
,
that
if
contrariwyse
it
happen
thée
to
finde
deuotion
and
swéetenesse
at
the
first
or
second
point
of
that
thou
haste
to
meditate
vppon
,
than
staye
thy selfe
in
consideration
of
that
as
longe
as
thy
deuotion
shal
endure
and
the
inwarde
féelyng
thereof
,
without
hauyng
any
doubte
or
scruple
at
all
for
not
passing
any
further
to
meditate
vpon
the
other
poyntes
remayning
.
Because
it
auayleth
more
to
meditate
a
fewe
thinges
well
with
deuotion
and
fruyte
,
then
many
without
taste
and
swéetenesse
.
And
chiefely
that
those
poyntes
which
for
this
cause
are
lefte
vnmeditated
vppon
at
one
tyme
,
maye
bée
taken
in
hand
another
tyme
,
and
recompenced
in
thy
meditations
following
.
And
of
this
that
maye
be
well
vnderstand
which
saint
Paul
affirmeth
:
that
it
is
better
to
speake
fiue
wordes
with
a
spirituall
féeling
or
edifying
,
then
ten
thousande
without
attention
and
spirit
.
With
these
thrée
aduises
thou
mayst
serue
thy selfe
,
and
which
I
trust
shall
be
profitable
vnto
thée
,
for
the
tyme
thou
arte
in
thy
meditation
:
and
after
thou
hast
done
,
thou
mayest
vse
the
other
thrée
which
we
shall
here
declare
vnto
thée
.
Let
therfore
the
first
aduise
be
,
that
when
in
prayer
God
shall
vouchsafe
of
his
goodnesse
to
endue
thée
with
some
inspiration
and
deuotion
,
or
other
particular
gift
or
grace
:
that
thou
then
endeuour
to
kéepe
it
diligently
,
and
not
suffer
thy selfe
to
bée
colde
strayghtwayes
after
thy
meditation
wyth
vnprofitable
thoughtes
,
imaginations
or
other
distractions
or
contrary
occupations
:
but
rather
endeuour
to
walke
all
day
as
closely
with
thy
wyttes
gathered
to
thy selfe
as
thou
canst
,
remembring
to
thy selfe
often
that
which
in
thy
prayer
was
commicate
vnto
thée
,
and
of
thy
good
purpose
and
desire
which
thou
foundest
in
it
:
Because
it
maye
so
rest
more
fixed
in
thy
mynde
,
and
to
the
entent
that
deuotion
and
feruencie
which
thou
receiuedst
whiles
thou
diddest
pray
be
not
lost
.
And
after
this
sorte
thou
shalt
fulfill
that
which
the
wise
man
counselleth
thée
,
saying
:
With
all
diligence
kéepe
thy
hart
,
because
of
it
procedeth
life
.
And
also
it
shall
auayle
thée
to
go
all
day
with
suche
care
and
diligence
,
because
thou
shalt
not
so
easily
fall
into
sinne
as
at
other
times
thou
wert
vsed
to
do
.
And
bicause
God
maye
giue
thée
sometime
in
the
daye
that
deuotion
and
consolation
,
the
which
was
not
giuen
thée
at
the
time
of
thy
prayer
,
as
it
hath
often
happened
to
many
:
This
diligence
and
care
doth
likewise
profite
thée
,
in
that
thou
mayest
be
the
readier
and
better
disposed
to
make
thy
prayers
and
meditations
afterwards
.
For
euen
as
water
which
is
already
hoat
may
be
so
kept
in
the
same
heate
with
a
litle
fire
,
the
which
if
ye
suffer
it
once
to
be
loste
,
it
becommeth
colde
,
and
is
not
without
more
paynes
agayne
made
hoat
:
So
likewise
chaunceth
it
to
the
soule
,
in
preseruing
or
suffering
it
to
loose
the
heate
whiche
it
once
receyued
.
And
to
this
end
the
blessed
men
in
times
paste
did
vse
oftentimes
in
the
daye
those
kinde
of
prayers
whiche
in
Latin
they
termed
Iaculatoriae
,
which
were
no
more
but
certayne
short
eleuations
or
lyfting
vppe
of
the
minde
and
swéete
sighes
,
which
they
spéedily
shotte
vp
to
God
,
that
by
them
as
it
were
wyth
certayne
styckes
layed
to
the
fyre
,
they
mayntayned
and
continued
that
heate
still
which
they
had
before
receaued
.
And
this
a
man
maye
doe
easily
although
he
be
occupyed
about
diuers
other
busines
&
exercises
.
The
seconde
aduise
is
,
that
sometime
in
the
wéeke
or
when
thou
best
maye
,
thou
fynde
a
tyme
to
examine
thy selfe
,
and
to
sée
whether
thou
haue
gone
forwarde
,
or
gotten
any
profite
of
thy
praying
.
And
when
thou
shalt
sée
that
thou
hast
profited
nothing
at
all
,
nor
founde
in
thy selfe
any
difference
of
one
tyme
better
than
an
other
:
then
examyne
and
trye
out
from
what
cause
it
procéeded
,
&
thou
shalte
alwayes
finde
,
that
it
happened
of
some
fault
or
lack
in
thy self
,
eyther
for
not
mortifying
thy selfe
,
which
is
necessary
in
this
exercise
,
or
for
not
doing
it
with
due
care
&
diligence
,
or
for
not
folowing
the
aduises
which
are
giuen
thée
,
or
for
some
other
negligence
of
thyne
owne
.
And
for
what
cause
soeuer
thou
shalt
vnderstand
that
this
small
encrease
of
deuotion
and
profiting
hath
procéeded
,
procure
yet
to
remedie
the
same
,
and
make
amendes
for
the
time
to
come
of
the
faulte
passed
.
And
that
thou
mayest
vnderstande
the
better
whether
thou
hast
gotten
any
fruite
or
no
of
thy
prayer
,
thou
must
note
that
which
nouices
or
yong
beginners
in
prayer
or
other
their
exercises
haue
chiefly
to
regarde
,
which
is
,
the
mortification
of
their
passions
,
their
sensuall
appetites
and
affections
,
and
to
purge
and
clense
well
their
soules
.
And
those
which
haue
further
entred
and
procéeded
,
oughte
chieflye
to
labour
and
care
to
attayne
the
vertue
which
they
lacke
,
and
to
increase
and
augment
the
same
,
specially
their
charitie
.
And
those
which
be
more
auncient
as
it
were
,
and
more
forwardly
entred
into
perfection
,
haue
to
trauell
for
the
perfect
vnion
and
conformitie
with
God
in
making
one
spirite
with
him
as
muche
as
shall
be
possible
for
them
,
although
sometime
the
exercise
of
the
one
of
these
may
attende
to
the
ende
and
effect
of
the
other
.
According
to
this
aduise
then
you
may
vnderstande
when
you
haue
profited
more
,
or
lesse
,
or
nothing
at
all
,
and
so
studie
to
remedie
that
shall
bée
conuenient
.
The
thyrde
and
laste
aduise
is
,
that
although
perchaunce
it
séeme
in
long
tyme
thou
hast
lyttle
profited
,
or
that
thou
art
nothing
giuen
to
this
exercyse
of
meditation
,
nor
féelest
in
thy selfe
that
deuotion
,
nor
such
tast
therein
as
thou
wouldest
:
Yet
oughtest
thou
not
therefore
to
dispayre
or
slacke
to
procéede
forwarde
.
Because
that
euen
as
in
other
good
workes
,
perseueraunce
is
it
that
maketh
all
perfect
,
&
crowneth
euery
vertue
with
rewarde
:
So
also
it
happeneth
in
this
so
holye
&
necessary
a
worke
of
prayer
,
that
by
howe
muche
the
more
thou
shalt
perseuer
and
continue
thy
good
exercise
therein
,
so
muche
thou
shalt
the
more
merite
,
and
God
shal
giue
thée
in
processe
of
tyme
so
muche
the
more
comforte
and
rewarde
,
as
thou
hast
felte
thy selfe
drye
and
faynt
in
the
beginning
.
For
oftentimes
God
permitteth
that
some
are
founde
drye
and
bare
of
all
deuotion
,
without
all
taste
and
sauourinesse
in
theyr
meditation
:
to
the
intent
that
howe
much
the
more
they
labour
and
trauell
to
perseuer
and
continue
in
the
same
,
so
muche
the
more
comforte
and
fruite
they
receiue
afterwards
in
rewarde
of
their
perseuerance
.
For
euen
as
God
did
in
the
creation
of
the
worlde
first
frame
the
earth
to
be
hard
and
dry
,
and
then
couered
it
with
waters
,
that
so
it
might
fructifie
and
produce
plantes
of
diuers
gréene
and
fruitfull
trées
:
so
also
the
same
our
Lord
God
permitteth
some
soules
to
be
founde
in
their
prayers
drye
and
barren
,
without
tast
or
sauour
of
deuotion
at
al
,
that
by
their
patience
in
perseueraunce
of
this
trauell
of
minde
and
lothsomnesse
,
they
come
afterwards
to
bring
forth
faire
fruite
and
plentifull
of
muche
vertue
and
grace
which
shall
be
bestowed
on
them
.
And
that
God
doth
signifie
vnto
vs
in
saying
by
the
Prophet
Ieremie
:
I
remembred
her
because
she
did
follow
me
in
the
desertes
and
wildernes
,
and
in
that
land
that
is
not
sowen
.
Which
is
to
vnderstande
of
the
soule
that
perseuered
and
continued
in
séeking
after
God
,
although
shée
felte
her selfe
drye
and
desert
,
without
féeling
or
taste
of
deuotion
or
consolation
.
And
the
same
affirmeth
Christ
our
redéemer
in
the
Gospell
,
saying
:
In
your
patience
ye
shall
possesse
your
soules
.
Take
more
courage
then
,
good
Christian
brother
,
and
let
not
thy
drinesse
or
vnsauerie
lothsomenesse
,
or
payne
which
thou
féelest
in
meditation
or
prayer
,
cause
thée
to
turne
backe
and
leaue
of
thy
godly
purpose
:
Least
it
happen
to
thée
as
to
the
children
of
Israel
,
who
deserued
not
to
enter
into
the
desired
land
of
promise
,
because
they
had
not
patience
in
their
famine
&
hunger
,
with
other
payne
and
trauell
whiche
they
suffered
in
the
wildernesse
.
Endeuour
rather
to
followe
that
perseueraunce
of
the
woman
of
Cananie
,
who
although
she
sawe
her selfe
not
regarded
,
and
shaken
off
from
Christ
,
she
did
not
for
all
that
mistrust
,
nor
ceassed
her
sute
or
petition
:
and
so
deserued
to
obtayne
muche
more
of
him
then
that
whiche
she
asked
or
desired
.
And
the
like
thou
mayest
well
hope
shal
happen
vnto
thée
,
if
thou
wilt
haue
the
lyke
patience
and
trust
in
God
,
which
sayth
,
he
that
continueth
vnto
the
end
shal
be
saued
.
To
conclude
,
helpe
thy selfe
therefore
with
these
thrée
ternaries
of
aduises
and
counsells
,
which
I
woulde
thou
shouldest
alwayes
haue
freshe
in
thy
remembraunce
,
and
to
practise
euerye
one
of
them
in
their
due
place
as
shall
bée
néedefull
,
as
well
before
prayer
,
in
prayer
,
as
after
:
and
thereby
(
and
that
principallye
by
Gods
grace
,
which
he
shall
vouchsafe
to
geue
thée
)
thou
shalte
bée
able
with
great
fruite
and
comfort
to
exercise
thy selfe
in
these
meditations
of
the
blessed
passion
folowing
,
as
the
holy
Euangelistes
declare
the
same
.
Certayne
godly
Meditations
and
prayers
vpon
the
Passion
of
our
Lord
and
Sauiour

¶
The
first
meditation
is
of
the
Supper
that
was
made
to
Christ
our
Lord
in
Bethania
,
sixe
days
before
his
passion
,
which
is
the
Saboth
before
Palmesunday
.
Concerning
which
ye
may
meditate
these
poynts
following
.
1
HOwe
that
Christ
oure
redéemer
comming
vnto
Bethania
sixe
dayes
before
his
Passion
,
supped
in
the
house
of
Symon
Leprosus
,
where
at
that
tyme
was
Lazarus
&
his
two
sisters
Martha
and
Magdalen
,
and
it
is
to
be
supposed
,
that
the
most
blessed
virgin
his
mother
was
there
also
.
2
Consider
with
what
chéerfulnesse
and
diligence
Martha
serued
at
the
table
,
and
that
most
feruent
loue
&
deuotion
of
Marie
Magdalene
:
who
taking
a
vessell
of
Alabaster
full
of
precious
oyntment
,
powred
it
vppon
the
head
and
féete
of
hir
beloued
maister
,
and
wyped
hys
féete
with
her
heare
,
and
howe
that
the
house
was
filled
wyth
the
sauour
of
that
swéete
oyntment
.
3
Remember
also
howe
the
traitour
Iudas
murmured
that
Magdalene
had
so
bestowed
an
oyntment
of
suche
great
value
:
And
how
our
most
gracious
Iesu
defended
her
,
and
praysed
the
woorke
of
so
greate
charitie
and
deuotion
that
she
had
done
.
In
the
whiche
was
signifyed
hys
death
and
buriall
that
was
at
hande
.
The
prayer
.
O
My
GOD
and
Lorde
,
amongest
other
seruices
and
sacrifices
which
are
acceptable
to
thée
,
and
which
thou
requirest
of
vs
,
thou
haste
declared
howe
the
sacrifice
of
laude
and
prayse
pleaseth
thée
.
Wherfore
knowing
howe
muche
all
men
are
debtours
to
thée
for
so
great
giftes
and
benefites
receyued
of
thy
most
liberall
hande
:
I
desire
to
offer
to
thée
the
same
sacrifice
.
My
soule
therefore
,
most
swéete
Iesu
,
maketh
adoration
and
giueth
thankes
to
thée
,
and
all
my
powers
within
me
blesseth
thy
most
holy
name
,
for
all
the
works
which
thou
hast
done
in
the
course
of
thy
blessed
lyfe
,
&
for
the
innumerable
sorowes
,
reproches
and
tormentes
which
thou
hast
suffred
in
thy
passion
,
which
thou
wouldest
shoulde
be
alwaies
imprinted
in
my
hart
.
And
first
I
laude
&
prayse
thée
,
that
knowing
the
nearer
thy
sorowfull
death
was
at
hand
,
and
for
the
whiche
those
thy
deare
friendes
that
loued
thée
so
entirely
should
be
in
great
sorowe
and
sadnesse
:
it
was
thy
godly
pleasure
first
to
chéere
and
kindly
entertayne
them
,
in
supping
with
them
in
Bethanie
,
where
those
two
moste
deuoute
sisters
Mary
and
Martha
declared
the
pure
loue
thy
bare
vnto
thée
.
I
beséeche
thée
my
good
Lorde
,
which
art
the
faythfull
louer
of
all
them
that
loue
thée
,
for
thine
infinit
loue
to
vouchsafe
to
kindle
and
inflame
my
heart
with
the
fyre
of
thy
loue
:
that
I
may
loue
thée
from
the
bottome
of
my
heart
as
I
am
bounde
,
and
giue
mée
grace
to
followe
that
feruencie
and
deuotion
,
which
thy
deuout
seruaunt
Magdalen
shewed
,
in
casting
that
swéete
liquor
vpon
thy
heade
and
féete
:
And
that
I
maye
also
declare
the
same
,
in
annoynting
of
thée
spirituallye
:
That
is
,
in
beléeuyng
stedfastlye
,
in
honouring
and
reuerencing
duely
thy
diuinitie
and
most
holy
humanitie
,
in
workyng
accordyng
to
my
power
,
in
the
seruice
of
my
neighbour
,
to
ayde
and
helpe
him
,
and
to
perseuer
in
so
dooing
all
the
dayes
of
my
lyfe
.
That
by
these
meanes
in
exchaunge
of
that
filthynesse
and
odious
sauour
which
my
sinnes
haue
vnto
this
tyme
caused
,
I
may
render
for
the
time
to
come
,
the
swéete
sauour
of
good
workes
which
may
bée
acceptable
both
vnto
thée
and
others
that
shall
sée
the
same
.
Amen

Poynts
to
meditate
vpon
.
1
How
that
the
day
folowing
,
that
is
to
say
,
fyue
dayes
before
that
Christe
the
true
Lambe
should
be
sacrificed
for
vs
in
his
passion
,
he
would
present
hymselfe
in
Ierusalem
,
euen
as
the
lawe
commaunded
of
the
mysticall
Lambe
,
whiche
so
many
dayes
before
it
shoulde
be
sacrificed
,
was
to
be
prepared
.
And
for
to
shewe
his
good
wyll
and
with
what
desyre
of
mynde
,
he
came
to
offer
hymselfe
:
he
woulde
therefore
enter
into
Ierusalem
with
that
ioye
and
solemnitie
as
was
shewed
him
.
2
Consyder
with
what
deuotion
and
ioye
,
the
people
at
that
tyme
receiued
their
true
king
and
Lorde
,
and
the
diuersitie
of
seruice
they
shewed
in
honouring
him
:
as
in
dressyng
the
stréetes
with
bowes
,
and
spreading
their
garments
before
him
in
the
waye
,
and
praysing
him
with
songes
.
3
Call
to
minde
also
howe
that
in
the
myddest
of
that
feasting
and
ioye
in
whiche
our
Lorde
went
,
when
he
sawe
the
Citie
of
Ierusalem
,
he
shedde
his
sorowfull
teares
,
well
knowing
how
farre
contrarywise
within
the
space
of
fiue
daies
he
was
to
bée
handled
of
them
,
and
sorowing
within
him selfe
the
destruction
of
that
Citie
,
which
he
knew
for
their
sinnes
should
be
destroyed
and
brought
to
ruine
.
Consider
howe
straightwayes
after
his
entring
into
the
Citie
,
he
went
to
visite
the
Temple
,
out
of
the
which
he
draue
away
them
that
prophaned
the
same
with
their
marchandize
in
buying
and
selling
.
The

whereon
thou
knewest

euen
as

and

,
with
whiche
the
people
of

receiued
thée
,
did
not
let
thée

Let

and
haue
a

to

séeing
and

Of

Christ
our

there
maye
be
these
poyntes
following

vpon
.
1
With
howe
great
méekenes
and

the
sauiour
of
the
world

from

,
washed
the
féete
of
his

,
and
also
of
Iudas
,
and
wyped
them
with
the
towell
wherewith
he
was
gyrt
.
2
Secondarily
,
consider
of
the
entier
loue
which
moued
him
to
institute
that
high
Sacrament
,
in
the
which
he
gaue
his
Disciples
to
eate
his
most
sacred
body
and
precious
blood
to
drinke
,
and
willed
it
shoulde
remayne
in
his
Church
,
as
the
foode
and
consolation
of
our
soules
.
3
Thirdly
,
call
to
minde
that
heauenly
lesson
which
he
preached
to
his
Disciples
,
comforting
and
exhorting
them
and
vs
also
,
to
humilitie
,
charitie
,
and
patience
,
of
the
whiche
vertues
he
gaue
vs
so
liuely
examples
in
the
latter
ende
of
his
life
here
.
The

And
also
I
prayse

for
the
inestimable

And

and

aboundauntlye
of
those

in

.
Graunt

Poyntes
to
meditate
therevpon
.
1
How
our
sauiour
going
into
the
garden
,
to
which
place
he
knew
his
enemies
should
come
for
to
apprehend
him
:
with
that
inward
sorow
and
feare
which
for
our
saluation
,
fréely
his
soule
would
féele
,
he
fel
downe
flat
on
the
grounde
,
&
with
most
great
reuerence
,
he
made
his
prayers
thrée
times
to
his
father
,
praying
him
that
the
bitter
cup
which
was
prepared
for
him
,
myght
passe
away
:
yet
notwithstanding
submitted
himselfe
alwayes
to
his
fathers
most
godly
will
.
2
Howe
that
his
affliction
and
anguishe
increasing
,
which
willingly
he
receaued
,
caused
hym
at
the
last
to
sweate
droppes
of
blood
,
that
fell
vppon
the
earth
:
And
beyng
in
this
agony
,
there
came
downe
an
Angell
from
heauen
to
comfort
him
.
3
How
that
being
moued
with
the
burnyng
desyre
of
our
redemption
,
he
went
and
met
his
enemyes
in
the
face
:
and
was
content
to
be
kissed
of
that
traitour
Iudas
,
and
of
the
other
to
be
taken
and
cruelly
bounde
,
to
be
forsaken
of
his

,
and
brought
to
the
house
of
Annas
the
Bishop
.
¶
The
prayer
.
BLessed
be
thou
my

and
God
,
O
Iesu
Christ
,
for
that
thine
infinit

,
that
it

,
for

to
be

wyth
suche
extréeme
feare

And
thou
being
the
gladnesse
and
comforte
of

,
diddest
take
well
in
worth
to
be
comforted
of
an
Angell
.
I
blesse
and
prayse
thée
also
for
that
thy
feruent
loue
,
that
for
to
loose
the
bondes
of
our
sinnes
,
and
to
set
vs
at
true
libertie
,
sufferedst
thy selfe
to
bée
taken
and
bounde
of
thy
enemyes
shamefully
like
a
théefe
.
I
beséeche
thy
infinite
goodnesse
therefore
that
in
mine
afflictions
,
feare
,
and
sadnesse
,
I
may
haue
the
grace
alwayes
to
run
vnto
thée
with
most
humble
and
deuout
praier
,
submitting
my selfe
wholly
into
thy
blessed
handes
:
and
that
so
to
doe
,
may
be
my
onely
comfort
and
helpe
,
séeing
that
without
thée
,
vaine
is
the
health
and
helpe
,
that
any
worldly
creature
can
giue
me
.
I
beséeche
thée
also
most
méeke
Lambe
,
by
that
thy
patience
and
gentlenesse
,
which
with
hard
cordes
and
ropes
diddest
suffer
thy selfe
to
be
bounde
when
thou
wast
taken
:
that
thou
wilte
vouchsafe
to
bynde
my
soule
,
with
the
chaynes
of
thy

that
I
being
loosed

suffer
not
my selfe
to
bée

more

with
them
.
And
that
neither
the
diuell
,
the
worlde

nor
the
fleshe

may
at
any
time
separate

from

The

to
meditate
.
1
The
blasphemies
and
villanies
which
were
spoken
against
our

by
those
wicked

:
the
outrages

which
he
suffered
when
he
was
led
from
the
garden
to
Annas
house
,
where
he
was
first
presented

2
Consider
the
great
méekenes
,
humilitie
and
modestie
,
which
shyned
in
our
Sauiour
whiles
he
stoode
before
the

aunswered
to
the
demaundes
of
his

and
of

&
tooke
so
patiently
those
reprochfull
strokes
and
buffets
.
3
And
after
that
,
howe
wyth
like
spite
,
cruell
handeling
,
and
shame
,
he
was
ledde
to
the
house
of
Chaiphas
,
where
they
vsed
muche
scornings
&
iniuries
towards
him
:
as
in
couering
and
blindfolding
his
blessed
and
reuerend
face
,
spitting
in
it
,
and
striking
it
:
so
that
he
passed
all
that
night
without
any

at
all

Poyntes
to

1
Howe
the
frydaye
morning
those
wicked
Iewes
which
so
greatly
desired
the
death
of
him
that
was
the
giuer
of
life
,
came
earely
in
the
morning
to
the
house
of
Caiphas
where
they
left
him
,
&
after
they
had
made
an
end
of
their
wicked
councell
,
in
the
which
they
iudged
hym
worthy
of
death
,
they
led
hym
to
the
house
of
Pilate
,
that
hée
might
giue
iudgement
on
him
.
2
Consider
with
howe
great
modestie
our
Lorde
stoode
in
the
presence
of
Pilate
,
&
with
howe
great
humilytie
he
aunswered
to
the
thinges
he
demaunded
of
him
,
and
woulde
neyther
excuse
nor
defende
himselfe
,
agaynst
any
false
inditement
or
accusations
layd
to
his
charge
.
3
Consider
also
specially
those
wordes
of
our
redéemer
which
he
spake
to
Pilate
:
that
is
,
when
he
sayde
,
my
kingdome
is
not
of
this
worlde
:
declaring
by
those
wordes
,
that
albeit
he
were
the
true
king
of
heauen
and
earth
,
he
came
not
yet
to
reigne
in
the
world
,
but
to
suffer
paines
and
to
die
for
the
life
and
redemption
of
the
world
.
¶
The
prayer
.
BLessed
bée
thou
Kinge
of

for
thy
so
great
humility
,
that
being
the
vniuersall
iudge
of
the
lyuing

,
it
pleased
thée
so
much
to
abase
thy selfe
to
be
led
and
to
be
iudged
of
an
vniust
iudge
.
Who
although
he
knewe
thy
innocencie
and
also
the
enuie
of
thy
persecutours
:
yet
he
suffered
himselfe
to
bée
peruerted

ouercome
with
worldly
feare

All
whiche
thou
diddest
willingly
suffer
,
without
laying
of
any
excuse
for
thy selfe
in
any
thing
:
so
great
was
thy
desire
to
gyue
thy
lyfe
for
the
world
vnto
death
,
being
moued
thy selfe
thereto
,
through
thy
passing
loue

I
beseeche

Call
to
minde
the
diligence
and
busie
crueltie
of
those
peruers
ministers
of
iniquitie
,
in
leading
our
Sauiour
from
Pilate
to
Herode
,
with
their
gréedie
and
insatiable
desire
to
put
him
to
death

Remember
also
that
cleare
bright
quiet
countenaunce
,
and
continuall
silence
,
in
the
which
our
most
méeke
Sauiour
stood●
before
Herode
,
without
answering
to
any
question
they
made
to
him
,
because
they
were
al
curious

vayne
,
and
vnprofitable
.

How
that
béeing
mocked

scorned
of
Herode
and
his
people
,
he
was
apparrelled
in
derision
with
a
white

then
brought
againe

with
all
the

The

I
Moste

adore

thée
most
benigne
Iesu

for
those
wearisome
iourneys
which
for
our
saluation
it
was
thy

to
make
,
béeing
so
many
times
led

hurried

haled
from
one
iudge
to
an
other

in

procession
thou
didst
suffer
such
gasings
,
shame
,
and
mockeries
,
namely
,
béeing
clothed
with
that
white
garment
thou
wast
of
all
men
mocked
and
scorned
.
How
shal
I
be
able
O
Lord
,
to
answere
these
thy
so
great
mercies
and
benefites
receiued
at
thy
godly
hands
:
that
being
by
the
transgression
and
disobedience
of
our
first
father
Adam
,
spoyled
of
that
white
garment
of
innocencie
and
immortalitie
wherwith
he
was
indued
,
thou
which
art
the
second
Adam
,
our
most
true
and
louing
father
,
woldest
recompence
that
losse
and
others
which
we
had
receiued
of
him
,
in
béeing
content
to
be
so
clothed
&
dispised
,
besides
other
great
iniuries
and
tormentes
whiche
thou
diddest
suffer
.
I
therfore
besech
thy
maiesty
,
for
thy
so
gret
trauels
and
rebukes
,
that
thou
wilt
pardon
me
my
euill
and
vnprofitable
walkings
which
I
haue
made
in
the
discourse
of
my
life
,
walking
in
the
waye
of
perdition
:
and
graunt
me
grace
to
runne
cherefully
from
henceforth
in
the
way
of
thy
holy
commaundementes
,
&
perfect
obseruance
of

So
that
I
grudge
not

disdayne

although
I
be
neuer
so
muche

with
so
great
silence
to
holde

1
How
our
Lorde
béeing
brought
agayne
to
the
house
of
Pilate
,
who
thinking
by
giuing
him
some
kind
of
punishment
to
mitigate
the
rage
of
the
Iewes
that
were
very
importune
vpon
him
to
put
Christ
to

2
Consider
the
sharpnesse
and
bitter
crueltie
of
those
pitylesse
tormentors
in
scourging
of
that
most
méeke
Lambe
,
in
spoyling
him
of
his
garments
,
and
binding
him
strongly
to
a
piller
,
and
so
to
beate
him
without
all
mercy
and
compassion

3
Remember
also
how
cruelly
he
was
whipt
and
beaten
with
roddes
,
so
that
there
remayned
no
one
part
of
his

vnwounded

and
of
whom
it
is

that
the

diddest
willingly
consent
to
be
bounde
naked
to
a

,
and
so
sharply
to
be
whipped

beaten
,
as
if
thou
haddst
bene

willing

Matter
for
meditation
.
1
Howe
those
tormentors
béeing
wéerie
of
beating
that
blessed
body
,
did
loose
him
from
the
piller
,
and
howe
our
most
patient
Lorde
did
humbly
gather
vp
his
garmentes
whiche
they
had
caste
and
scattered
on
the
grounde
,
with
the
whiche
he
couered
agayne
his
moste
sacred
body
,
béeing
all
bloody
,
sore
and
full
of
payne
.
2
Consider
howe
that
hauing
yet
scantly
put
on
his
clothes
,
the
souldiers
of
Pilat
were
busie
to
honor
him
in
scorne
,
with
royall
ensignes
,
because
they
sayde
,
he
had
made
him selfe
a
king
,
they
clothed
him
with
a
red
purple
cape
or
mantell
,
and
crowned
his
head
with
a
garlande
of
moste
sharpe
pricking
thornes
,
and
they
put
a
réede
in
his
hande
in
stead
of
a
scepter
,
with
which
they
strake
him
,
and
kneling
before
him
,
in
mocking
they
saluted
him
.
3
Then
also
beholde
howe
Pilate
brought
foorth
in
the
sight
of
all
the
people
,
the
king
of
heauen
,
euen
as
he
was
so
mocked
and
yll
handled
,
thinking
that
their
obstinate
furie
might
be
so
pacified
,
when
they
should
sée
him
in
that
case
worthy
of
pitie
and
compassion
.
But
it
nothing
suffised
them
,
but
rather
they
cried
the
more
,
crucifie
him
.
¶
The
prayer
.
WHat
thanks
may
I
render
to
thée
O
my
God
,
that
thou
being
the
true
king
of
heauen
&
of
earth
,
and
so
worshipped
and
reuerenced
of
the
Angels
them selues
,
diddest
not
refuse
to
beare
that
shamefull
and
painfull
ensignes
of
a
faygned
King
,
with
which
thou
waste
scorned
and
mocked
of
moste
vile
men
,
neither
yet
diddest
grudge
to
appeare
openlye
in
the
sight
of
all
the
people
with
that
painefull
sharpe
pricking
crowne
of
thorne
,
wherewith
thou
wast
crowned
of
them
,
whom
thou
contrariwise
desiredst
to
crowne
with
glory
?
And
who
would
not
maruell
at
their
obstinate
malice
,
in
that
they
could
finde
out
so
many
inuentions
,
the
more
to
put
thée
to
shame
,
paine
and
torment
?
but
more
cause
of
maruell
is
in
thy
burning
charitie
,
Lord
,
which
the
waters
of
so
great
tribulations
and
persecutions
were
not
able
to
quenche
,
no
,
nor
in
one
poynt
to
coole
.
And
euen
as
thou
wast
neuer
satisfyed
,
nor
couldest
thinke
in
thy self
to
haue
loued
vs
inough
:
so
thou
couldest
neuer
fully
satisfye
thy selfe
in
suffering
for
them
whom
thou
louedst
.
Let
thy
bountifull
goodnesse
,
therefore
bée
honoured
and
thanked
of
the
Angels
&
of
all
creatures
,
the
which
I
doe
also
adore
and
worship
and
desire
that
I
maye
alwayes
so
doe
with
all
reuerence
:
humbly
beséeching
thée
,
that
thou
wylte
cause
mée
to
knowe
thy
highnesse
&
almyghtie
maiestie
,
that
I
maye
with
truth
and
vnfaynedly
,
continually
honour
that
same
,
&
to
giue
me
grace
that
I
may
wyth
the
eyes
of
my
soule
beholde
that
lamentable
spectacle
and
sight
,
whiche
Pilate
shewed
to
the
Iewes
,
in
saying

beholde
the
man
:
That
my
hart
being
therby
made
tender
and
mollyfied
,
I
maye
haue
the
more
compassion
and
pitie
of
thée
,
and
wyth
more
earnest
desire
loue
thée
,
&
embrace
thée
.
And
also
to
reioyce
in
my selfe
to
be
reuiled
and
dispised
in
the
world
for
thy
sake
according
to
thine
example
,
hoping
afterwardes
through
thy

to
be
crowned
of

thereon

1
Howe
Pilate
beyng
weryed
with
the
importune
calling
and
cryinges
on
of
the
Iewes
,
did
iudge
Christ
the
author
and
giuer
of

whose
iudgement
he
willingly
accepted
,
for
the
great
desire
he
had
to
worke

saluation
.
2
Consyder
with
howe
great
humilitie
,
he
did
beare
that
heauye
trée
of
the
Crosse
vppon
his
shoulders
:
Which
for
that
it
was
so
huge
and
great
,
made
hym
often
tymes
to
fall
to
the
grounde
,
and
so
to
renewe
his
gréeuous
paines
.
3
Consider
also
that
being
not
well
able
to
goe
for
his
weakenesse
and
mightie
burthen
,
they
tooke
the
crosse
of
his
shoulders
and
caused
Cirineus
to
beare
it
.
And
howe
hée
turned
himselfe
to
comfort
and
admonishe
the
deuout
women
,
who
with
great
compassion
followed
hym
wéeping
:
Where
you
maye
call
to
mynde
what

his

suffered

sawe
this
lamentable

may

1
Howe
that
being
with
great
trouble
and
trauell
nowe
come
to
the
mount
of

was
the
place
where
the
malefactours
shoulde

vsed

to
comfort

they
gaue

that

,
because
there
shoulde
no
member
or
part
,
nor
yet
anye

remayne
in
him
without
torment
.
2
Remember
the
inhumanitie
of
them
to
spoyle
him
of
his
garmentes
,
which
was
a
new
cause
of
griefe
and
torment
to
that

a
renuing
of
the
excéeding

call

howe
that
béeyng
spoyled

,
hée
stoode
all
naked
,
in
most
bytter
sorrowes
,
griefe
and

Then
further
consider
,
with
howe
great
crueltie
they
caused
hym
to

sufficeth
to
giue
thankes
and
prayse
worthye
to
thée
,
for
thy
burning
charity
,
which
caused
thée
with
so
great
patience
to
beare
and
suffer
the
incomparable
tormentes
thou
diddest
féele
,
what
tyme
thou
wast
nayled
vpon
the
Crosse
.
For
albeit
the
griefe
&
smart
of
thy
paine
and
sorrowe
were
excéedyng
great
:
yet
without
all
comparison
muche
more
passing
great
and
vnspeakable
was
the
greatnesse
of
thy
loue
that
prycked
thée
forwarde
to
suffer
it
.
Thy
verie
works
,
O
Lorde
,
prayse
thée
,
and
for
my
parte
I
thanke
and
praise
thée
,
as
much
as
I
maye
,
confessing
my selfe
neuer
to
be
able
to
thanke
thée
for
the
least
parte
of
that
I
am
bounde
vnto
thée
.
And
therefore
I
praye
the
for
those
moste
bitter
sorowes
and
for
the
entier
loue
of
thine
,
which
caused
thée
for
the
saluation
of
the
worlde
to
suffer
so
gréeuous
tormentes
:
that
thou
wilt
graunt
me
grace
that
they
maye
be
alwayes
fixed
in
my
harte
and
minde
as
the
percing
arrowes
of
thy
tender
loue
,
and
that
renouncing
all
vayne
loue
of
this
worlde
,
I
maye
be
surely
nayled
and
fastened
to
thée
in
perfect
loue
and
obedience
.
And
for
so
muche
as
thou
art
figured
by
that
cluster
of
grapes
whiche
the
two
men
broughte
on
a
staffe
vppon
their
shoulders
from
the
lande
of
promise
,
and
waste
troden
foorth
in
that
wine
presse
of
the
Crosse
,
that
out
of
thée
should
flowe
moste
swéete
wine
to
swéeten
and
ouercome
our
soules
:
swéeten
and
fil
my
soule
with
that
wine
which
causeth
men
to
become
chast
and
pure
.
And
cause
that
I
be
fast
nayled
with
thée
,
with
the
nayles
of
thy
loue
and
charitie
.
Thoroughly
nayle
my
fleshe
with
the
feare
of
thée
,
that
it
be
not
rebellious
agaynst
the
spirite
:
and
let
my
hands
and
féete
be
so
nayled
with
thine
,
that
they
neither
moue
nor
stretche
besides
thy
blessed
will
.
And
geue
me
so
abundant
grace
,
that
I
may
be
desirous
to
suffer
,
and
to
be
dispraysed
of
all
men
for
thée
,
and
to
be
pressed
downe
for
thy
diuine
loue

How

in
maner
aforesaide
with
such
excessiue
sorow
and
outcryes
of
the
people
nayled
vpon
the

he
was
exalted

him
.
And
was
put
in
the
place
appoynted
betwene
two
théeues
that
were
also
crucified
with
him
.
2
Remember
the
incomparable
sorowe
and
anguishe
which
his
moste
blessed
mother
felt
,
when
she
saw
her
swéete
sonne
wounded
from

and
deformed
so
muche
through
the
stripes
and
torments
receiued
,
that
scarcely
she
might
knowe
her

childe
.

Call
to
minde
also
howe
amongst
so
many
tormentes
as
our
most
mercifull
sauiour
suffered
,
the
first
wordes
he
spake
béeing
nayled
vpon
the
Crosse
,
was
to
pray
for
his
very
enemies
and
them
that
crucified
him
,
whose
blindnes
and
crueltie
gréeued
him
more
then
his

paynes

The
prayer
.
I
Confesse
,

most
swéet
Lord
and
true
louer
of
mankinde
,
that
in
all
the
time
of
my

,
if
I
should
do
none
other

els
both
day

yet
I
could
not

for
this
vniuersall
benefite
of
the
redemption
of

yll
considered
of

&
many
other
.
What
may
I
then
say
,
O
eternall
loue
of
the
father
,
séeing
thée
in
our
mortall
flesh
so
abased
for
my
sake
,
tormented
for
me
,
and
lifted
vp
vpon
the
crosse
in
the
middest
of
two
théeues
,
and
as
one
of
them
,
and
muche
worse
handled
?
O
my
Lord
thanks
be
giuen
to
thée
of
all
men
,
and
of
all
Angels
for
thine
infinite
charitie
the
which
is
sufficient
to
make
them
all

maruell
,
séeing
that
I
am
he
which
hath
committed
the
robbery
,
and
yet
it
is
thy
pleasure
to
suffer
the
punishment
due
therefore
.
I
beséech
thée
O
infinite
goodnesse
,
that
séeing
it
hath
pleased
thée
to
paye
for
mine
iniquitie
and
sinnes
,
and
that
thou
haste
pardoned
me
those
whiche
I
haue
committed
:
that
thou
wilt
giue
me
grace
to
take
héede
that
I
trespasse
not
in
the
like
offences
hereafter
,
and
that
I
deserue
not
eternall
tormentes
,
from
whiche
by
meanes
of
thy
tormentes
thou

so
manye
times

Giue

O

the

And
giue
mine
eyes
grace
to
looke
vp
vpon
thée
raysed

lifted
on
high
vpon
the
Crosse

so
that
I
maye
be
holpen
from

soares
,
who
did
beholde
the
serpent
that
Moyses
did
in

of
thée
exalt
in

Vouchsafe

,
that
I
maye
reste

When
that
wicked
generation
had
nailed

lifted
vp
the
redéemer
of
the
world
vpon
the
crosse
,
and
coulde
not
nowe
any
more
strike
him
with
their
handes
,
they
smote
him
with
their
tongs
with
many
reprochefull
words
and
blasphemies
,
giuing
him
vineger
to
drinke
in
his
great
thirst
vpon
a
sponge
.
2
Consider
also
how
after
the
other
words
which
he
spake
,
in
promising
the
thiefe
Paradise
which
committed
himselfe
vnto
him
,
and
giuing
S.
Iohn
to
his

in

of
her

&
in
him
also
vs
,
and
her
to
Iohn
,
and
likewise
to
vs
,
to
be
as
a
mother
:
and
declaring
the
gret
thirst
whiche
he
had
,
and
that
chiefly
was
for
our
saluation
:
he
then
finally
commended
his
spirite
into
the
handes
of
his
eternall
father
,
and
so
inclining
downe
his
head
he
yelded
vp
the
ghost

Of
whose
tormentes
and
death
the
heauens
declare
they
did
in
some

féele
the
griefe

for
the

eclipsed

trembled

the
very

sheuered

the

Consider
also
the

thrusting
in

,
with
the
whiche
Longinus
opened
a
gappe
into
the
syde
of

,
out
of
the
which
issued
blood
and
water
.
And
albeit
to
him
it
was
no
payne
,
because
he
was
already
deade
,
yet
notwithstanding
his
most
innocent
mother
felte
it
,
whose
bowels

hart
was
in
those
most
greuous

infinite

for
that
thou

brought

take
vpon
thée
,
neuer
staying
therein
neither
for
moste
bitter
tormentes
which
they
put
thee
too

nor
yet
for
the
multitude
of
blasphemies
they
spake
agaynst
thee
.
For
the
whiche
I
humblye
besech
thee
,
that
thou
vouchsafe
to
open
the
eyes
of
my

Bring

Temper

gluttonie
and
intemperancie

with
the
remembrance
of
thy
most
swete
mouth
tasting
the
bitter
gawle

vineger
.
Cause
me
to
forsake
the
delites
of
the
flesh
:
in
séeing
thy
flesh
put
to
so
great
paynes
vppon
the
crosse

Mollifie
the
hardnes
of
my
hart
,
and
suffer
it
not
to
be
more
hard
then
the
stones
,
which
shiuered
in
péeces
at
thy
death
,
Make
me
,
O
Lord

to
enter
into
thy
open
side
,
where
I
may
more
safely
saue
my selfe
in
the
great

perillous
flood

Cause

How

quieted

the
death
of
him
that
is
the
life

It

Poyntes

First
consider
with
how
gret
tendernes
the
most
blessed
virgin
mother
receiued
the
dead
body
of
her
swéete
sonne
béeing
nowe
taken
from
the
crosse
,
&
beholding
particulerly
the
signes
of
his
soares
and
wounds
,
with
moste
tender
loue
she
kissed
the
same
,
embraced
&
bathed
it
with
the
teares
which
abundantly
issued
out
of
her
pitifull
eyes
.
2
Then
cal
to
mind
the
lamentable
words
which
his
mother
spake
,
when
she
saw
that
blessed
body
of
his
so
scourged
,
wounded
,
and
ill
handled
,
the
which
she
with
so
great
loue
and
reuerence
had
brought
vp
,
whose
words
&
sighes
were
inough
to
breake
with
compassion
the
hart
of
any
that
heard
them
.
3
Remember
also
the
lamentable
playnt
which
other
deuoute
men
&
women
made
that
were
there
present
,
and
chiefly
of
that
welbeloued
disciple
Iohn
,
and
Magdalen
which
helde
&
clipped
fast
the
féete
of
her
swéete
master
,
not
satisfying
her selfe
ynough
in
kissing
and
washing
them
with
her
pitifull
teares

The
prayer
.
O
My
most
merciful
father
and
my
god
,
who
shal
giue
water
to
my
head
,
and
a
fountayne
of
teares
to
mine
eyes
,
that
I
may
bewayle
the
paynefull
death
of
my
swéet
redéemer
both
day
and
night
,
&
celebrate
his
holy
exequies
together
with
that
deuout
companie
whiche
with
wofull
playnt
did
celebrate
the
same
?
Or
who
may
giue
me
an
hoate
burning
hart
worthily
to
praise
thée
,
and
thanke
thée
for
the
ineffable
benefite
which
thou
hast
done

me
,
in
that
thou
haste
vouchsafed
that
thine
onely

sonne
should
léese
his
life
to
giue
me
life
?
Whom
would
it
not
amase
to
sée
this
thy
vnspeakable
charity
,
that
for
to
redeme
a
vile
slaue
,
wouldest
giue
to
death
thy
dearly
beloued
son
?
All
the
Angelicall
spirites
do
laude
&
prayse
thée
,
so
that
I
nor
all

in
the
world
know

are
able
to
thanke
thée
,
nor
yet
vnderstand
thy
so
gret
mercy
.
And
because
I
haue
no
tong
able
to
do
it
,
as
it
ought
to
be
,
I
pray
thée
of
thine
infinite
goodnes
to
graunt
me
an
heart
that
may
take
compassion
and
féele
in
part

felt

those
gréeuous
wounds

that
thou
wilt
pardon
me
,
and
for
the

to
come
to
preserue
me

that
I
offend
not
in
the

agayne
,
but
alwayes
hate
and

wickednesse

Meditations
thereof
.
1
When
night
drew
neare
,
S.
Iohn
,
Ioseph
,
and
Nicodemus
,
(
as
it
maye
be
godly
thought
)
prayed
our
Lady
to
geue
them
leaue
to
annoynt
the
most
blessed
body
of
her
sonne
:
who
agréed
to
their
godly
request
,
albeit
that
she
vnderstoode
that
there
was
an
other
principall
annointing
,
that
is
,
that
he
was
annointed
of
his
diuinitie
,
with
the
which
he
was
vnited
.
2
Consider
with
what
great
deuotion
and
reuerence
that
most
diuine
body
was
anoynted
,
and
how
many
sighes
&
teares
they
shed
euery
one
that
were
present
thereat
,
in
séeing
him
so
wounded
and
pitifully
handled
,
and
specially
beholding
those
fiue
principall
wounds
worthy
of
so
great
compassion
.
3
Consider
that
when
the
blessed
body
was
annoynted
,
they
decently
wounde
it
in
a
white
shéete
they
brought
with
them
,
and
couering
his
said
body
with
a
fine
launde
,
so
shrowde
it
vp
to
be
buried
,
according
to
the
maner
of
the
Iewes
.

that
came

and

that

be
annoynted
with
those

oyntments
which
they
brought
,
of
the
which
thou
hadst
no
néede
at

,
because
thou
wast
preserued
from
all

with
the
swéete
balme
of

I
beséeche
thy
clemencie

that
thou
vouchsafe
to
graunt

that

Vouchsafe

Matters
of
meditation
.
1
Howe
that
most
sacred
body
was
caried
&
put
with
due
reuerence
of
Ioseph
in
a
newe
sepulchre
or
graue
,
the
which
was
nere
to
the
place
where
he
was
crucified
.
And
here
you
may
call
to
minde
also
the
multitude
of
sighes
and
abundance
of
teares
of
his
most
sorrowfull
mother
,
and
of
those
holy
persons
that
were
there
present
.
2
Consider
the
extreme
pouertie
of
the
king
of
heauen
and
of
earth
,
who
when
he
was
dead
,
had
not
any
place
where
to
rest
his
head
,
but
after
death
was
buried
in
the
sepulchre
or
buriall
of
an
other
.
3
Then
finally
consider
howe
loth
and
gréeuous
that
sorrowfull
mother
was
,
to
depart
from
the
sepulchre
where
her
tresure
was
left
and
layde
,
and
the
dolefull
desolate
sadnesse
she
felt
,
seing
her selfe
depriued
from
his
ioyful
company
,
vntil
his
rising
agayne
,
whiche
she
looked
for
with
a
stedfast
fayth
.

The

AL

O

¶
Poyntes
to
meditate
vpon
.
1
First
consider
how
that
when
the
most
blessed
soule
of
Christe
had
béen
in
Lymbo
&
comforted
those
holy
fathers
,
and
brought
them
from
thence
:
the
sonday
morning
it
did
returne
againe
and
vnite
it selfe
with
his
most
blessed
bodye
,
&
caused
it
to
become
glorious
,
resplendent
,
immortal
and
impassible
,
and
so
with
the
diuine
power
,
&
those
glorious
indowments
which
it
communicated
to
the
body
,
it
rose
vp
out
of
the
place
where
it
lay
,
the
sepulcher
or
graue
remaining
fast
shut
and
closed
.
2
Ye
may
also
thinke
,
that
the
first
thing
he
did
,
being
raised
from
death
,
was
to
visite
his
beloued
mother
,
which
with
so
many
teares
,
sighes
&
sorowes
,
missed
him
and
looked
for
him
.
All
which
griefes
were
turned
into
incomparable
ioyes
&
gladnes
,
with
the
glorious
sight
of
her
sonne
,
raised
agayne
from
death
to
life
.
3
Ye
may
also
meditate
howe
he
firste
appeared
vnto
Magdalen
before
the
other
,
who
when
she
knew
him
,
she
was
greatly
comforted
:
and
likewise
vppon
his
other
apparitions
as
vpon
this
daye
,
as
when
he
shewed
himselfe
and
appeared
to
the
deuoute
women
which
went
to
the
sepulcher
,
and
after
to
his
Disciples
goyng
towardes
the
castle
of
Emans
.
¶
The
prayer
.
THy
name
be
blessed
without
end
,
most
swéete
Iesu
my
redéemer
,
for
that
after
the
tempest
of
thy
passion
,
there
is
come
the
faire
bright
day
of
thy
glory
:
&
to
the
night
of
sorrowes
and
teares
for
thy
death
,
the
festiuall
&
ioyful
day
of
thy
resurrection
doth
succéede
.
For
the
one
&
for
the
other
,
I
giue
prayse
and
thanks
to
thée
,
as
for
the
one
and
for
the
other
I
am
debtour
to
thée
:
bicause
thou
wouldest
dy
for
my
sinnes
&
rise
again
for
our
iustification
.
And
therefore
it
is
iust
,
that
they
which
do
suffer
&
wepe
with
thée
in
thy
sorowfull
passion
and
death
,
should
also
in
thy
gloryous
resurrection
reioyce
with
thée
&
thy
most
blessed
mother
.
Who
according
to
the
measure
of
hir
anguishe
&
sorrowes
passed
,
hath
receiued
the
ioyes
&
consolations
of
this
day
present
.
And
what
tongue
may
suffice
to
expresse
that
vnspeakeable
gladnesse
which
hir
hart
felt
,
when
she
sawe
thy
glorious
risyng
againe
,
and
the
darknesse
of
thy
passion
,
turned
into
such
beautifull
clerenesse
,
thy
shames
&
reproches
into
glory
,
thy
wounds
into
such
beautie
&
brightnesse
?
When
she
did
consider
that
now
the
stormy
winter
of
thy
persecutions
was
past
,
&
the
waters
of
the
fludde
of
thy
sorows
ceassed
,
&
that
there
should
be
nowe
no
more
Pharisies
to
accuse
thée
nor
Iudasses
to
betray
thée
,
nor
Pilates
to
iudge
or
condemne
thée
,
nor
death
to
haue
might
&
power
ouer
thée
?
If
Iacob
did
so
muche
reioyce
when
hée
vnderstood
,
that
his
sonne
Ioseph
whom
he
beleued
to
be
dead
,
was
aliue
and
did
rule
ouer
all
Egipt
:
how
great
may
we
thinke
the
ioy
of
thy
glorious
mother
to
be
,
when
hauing
sene
thée
dead
,
yea
and
of
such
a
death
,
did
sée
thée
alyue
againe
,
a
vanquisher
of
death
,
triumphing
ouer
the
diuell
&
hell
,
Lorde
of
heauen
and
of
earth
?
wherefore
I
beséech
thée
my
heauenly
king
,
that
I
calling
to
remembrance
this
great
triumph
&
gladnes
of
thy
blessed
mother
,
thou
wilt
giue
me
grace
to
hate
all
other
vaine
pleasures
and
worldly
consolations
,
whiche
may
separate
me
from
thée
.
Graunt
me
Lord
I
pray
thée
by
thy
holy
resurrection
,
that
my
soule
may
rise
againe
with
thée
,
by
the
life
grace
,
and
that
I
dye
no
more
by
the
death
of
sinne
:
so
that
I
may
by
thy
mercy
hereafter
rise
agayne
glorious
in
body
and
soule
,
and
come
to
reigne
with
thée
eternally
in
glory
.
Amen
.
FINIS
.
Laude
,
Honour
,
and
Glory
,
be
for
euer
to
Iesu
Christ
our
Redéemer
,
which
suffered
,
dyed
,
and
rose
agayne
.
Amen
