calleth

Thenne
why
this
seruyce
is
thus
doon
in
me●enes
holy
faders
tell
for
thre
causes
One
is
the
nyght
bifore
that
oure
lorde
Iesu
criste
was
take
he
went
into
the
mount
of
olyuete
&
prayed
thus
Pater

My

if
it
be
possible
that
this
byttre
passion
may
passe
fro

if
it
were
the

wyll
and
els
nat
And
for
drede
and
fere
of
that
byttre
passioun
.
that
he
fylte
in
spyryte
he
swet
both
blode
and
water
And
another
cause
is
this
that
anone
after
mydnyghte
came
Iudas
Scarioth
with
fifty
knyghtes
and
moche
other
people
to
take
criste
.
And
for
it
was
derke
and
they
coude
nat
we
le
know
him
fro
sainte
Iames
he
was
so
lyke
to
criste
wherfore
Iudas
sayd
Quem
osculatus
fuero
cum
tenete
.
Forsoth
quod
he
him
that
I
shall
kys
it
is
Take
ye
him
for
saint
Iames
was
so
lyke
that
mooche
people
called
hym
cristes
broder
And
thus
Iudas
betrayed
his
master
.
and
thus
was
cryste
take
in
mekenesse
with
all
the
spy●●
that
they
coude
doo
to
him
berynge
him
and
spyttynge
in
his
face
.
The
th●●d
cause
is
whan
criste
was
naked
on
the
crosse
fete
and
handes
hangyng
thre
oures
from
vndryn
tyll
none
Thenne
the
sonne

the

shewing
that
the
maker
of

was
at
that
tyme
p●●ed

the

this

Now
at

that

Also
ye

And
what
the

that
this

This

fyrst
fyndyng
.
for

and
for
the
Trynyte
worshypynge
.
Fyrste
it
was
ordeyned
for
the
fourme
of
the
trynyte
fyndyng
.
And
a
greate
clerke
Iohan

so●●
fader
that

eue
of

the

bothe
cometh
the

Thus
the

was
founde
in
man
wherfore

shold
haue
mynde
to
doo
worshype
to
the

trynyte
wherfore
all

people
ben
bounde
gretly
to
worshyp
the
holy

.
The
second
cause
is
the
feste
is
ordeyned
in
confundynge
of
heretykes
and
of
lollers
for
to
dystroye
them
and
her
false

In

wyse
lollers

Popes

Ryght
soo
now
thyse
lollers
pursuen
men
of

&
ben
aboute
in
all
maner
wayes
that
they
can
and
may
fynde
to
distroye
and
vndo
h●m
soo
.
that
they
myghte
haue
theyr
purpose
:
And
thus
they
shew
openly
that
they
be
not

For
they
ben
oute
of

.
and
he
that

ferre
from

But
he
that

for

And
preyeth

And
wylle

but
put

slayn
amonge

But
there
come

causes

As

Ambrosius
saith

Oure

that
she
had
be
an
euyll
woman
of
her
body
:
and
soo
haue
stoned
her
to

The
second
cause
was
for
she
was
soo
shame
faste

that
and
she
had
herde
ony
haue
put
ony
defam
to
her
.
she
wold
haue
deyed
for
sorowe
The
thirde
cause
was
.
for
Ioseph
sholde
bere
wytnesse
of
her
maydenhode
The
fourth
cause
.
for
Ioseph
sholde
helpe
her
at
her
byrthe
.
and
brynge
her
to
Bethelem
.
and
after
in
to
Egypte

so
ayen
in

For
thise
four
causes
she
was
wedded
to
this
olde
man
Ioseph
.
and
also
to
begyle
the
fende
that

First
for
the

halowyng
for
whan
the

lordes
of
all

.
they
made
a
temple
in
Rome
lyke
a

And

Anone
the

Saint

though
al

&
thenne
come
neuer
ayen

But
there
be
many
lewde
people
that
saye
her
prayers
.
they
were
as
good
at
home
as
atte
chirche
:
For
yf
ther
be

that

and
saynt
Austyn

bad
the

Thenne
he
sawe
two

and
the

sat
in

wrytyng
a

it
lacked

and
he
drewe
it
oute

and
so
it
fell
oute
of
his

and
sainte
Austyn
sawe
it
and
wente
and
tooke
it
vp
.
Thenne
the
pope
was
wrothe
and
asked
hym
.
why
that
he
loughe
hym
to
scorne
.
And
he
shewyd
him
what
the
fende
hadde
wreten
of
the
wymen
and
then
he
come
to
the

and
asked
theym
what
they
hadde
saide

all
thys

and
they
sayd

Thenne
the

badde
rede

saint

redde
it

&
there
was

therin
Thenne
they
knelyd
downe

asked

besoughte

so
he
dyd

But
for

But
if

Narracio

Also
we
rede
in

of
Rome
that
an

an

that
goode

bad
him
go

open

and
see
it
Thenne
the

went
with

opned

lefte

thus

There
ben
syx
thingys
that
shold

to
grete
sorowe
for

The
fyrst
is
that
som
tyme
of
the
day
or
nyght
as
I
said
before
.
Bethynke
the
how
thow
hast
lyuyd

And
when
thy
synnes
come
to
thy
mynd
.
haue
an
Inward
sorowe
that
thou
hast
so
greuously
offendyd
thy
god
.
¶
The
second
that
thou
be
ashamed
of
thy
synne
.
and
ellys
at
the
daye
off
dome
they
shall
be
shewyd
to
the
and
to
all
the
world
openly
.
vnto
thy
gret
shame
and
confusyon
.
¶
The
thirde
that
thou
ha●e
grete
abhominacion
of
the
fylthe
of

that
thou
hast
thus
doon
bothe
in
the
syght
of

man

Seneca
sayth
though
I
wyst
that
my
syn
shold
be
vnknowen
bothe
to
god
and
man
.
yet
wold
I
abhorre
and
lothe
the
fylthe
of
my
synne
.
¶
The
fourth
is
that
thou
haue
drede
of
the
daye
of
dome
and
of
the
peynes
of
helle
.
Of
this
daye
spekyth

As
often
as
I

that
day

I
quake

whether
I

me
thynketh
that
the

of

sow●●th
in
myn
errs
And
byddeth
me
synfull
wretche
aryse
.
and
come
to
the
dome
.
¶
The
fyfte
is
.
that
thou
haue
sorowe
for
the
losse
of
heuen
.
And
the
grete
of
fence
doon
to
thy
maker

The
syxte
that
thou

hope
also
off

then
hope
of

he
prophete
sayd
before
that
I
shold
wesshe
euery
nyght
my
bedde
wyth
my
teerys
.
By
this
it
semeth
that
contrycion
after
forgeuenes
shold
be
contynuall
To
know
this
it
is
hard
yet
in
thy
wil
thou
mayst
haue
contynuell
contrycion
euer
in
full
purpoos
to
leue
and
loth
thy

it
