And

the

responce
of
the
first

of
aduent
hath
iiij
verse
to
rekene
Gloria

and
how

&
of

The

is
taken
by
the
reson
of
the

After

of

/
as

/
ther
is
non

for
ther
he
is
only

non

ther
is
none
that
accomplisheth
the

/
Thenne
cam
the

The

The

And
this

For

To

The

That

The
whiche

And
by
that
they
shal
appere
in
th
excellence
of
his

/
Wherof
saith
saynt
Iohn
Grysostome
that
the
Crosse
&
the
woundes
shall
be
more
shynyng
than
ony
Rayes
of

/
now
then
saith
he

consydere
ye
what
the

The

/
Secondly
for
to

his
mercy
/
by
whiche
he
shal
saue

goode
/
Thirdly
for
to
shewe
his
Iustice
/
how
Iustly
he
hath
dampned
them
that
be

/
by
cause
they

despysed
so
noble
pryse
as
his

/
&
sette
not
therby
/
And
therfor
as
saith
seynt
Iohn
Grisostome
/
he
shal
saye
to
them
harde
wordes
by
maner
of
repreef
/
For
your
sake
I
made
my self
a
man
/
for
you
I
haue
ben
beten
/
bounden
scorgyd
and
crucified
/
where
is
now
the
fruyt
that
I
haue
suffred
so
many
Iniuries
fore
/
lo
see
the
prys
of
my
blood
that
I
haue
gyuen
to
redeme
you
/
where
is
the
seruyse
/
that
ye
haue
don
to
me
for
the
prys
of
my
blood
that
I
haue
gyue
for
you
/
And
where
I
was
god
in
my
glorye
I
cam
doun
&
was
made
man
for
you
/
And
ye
haue
made
me
more
vyle
than
ony
thyng
/
For
alle
maner
thynges
of
fylthe
ye
haue
more
loued
than
my
Iustyce
&
my
faith
/
The
fourth
thynge
that
foloweth
the
dome
or
Iugememt
/
is
the
straytenesse
&
the
Rygour
of
the
Iuge
/
For
it
may
not
bowe
ne
le
ne
for

For
he
is
all
myghty
/
ne
noman
may
doo
ony

ayenst
hym
ne
by

ne
otherwyse
/
For
alle
richesses
be
in
hym
&
all
tresour
/
And
herof
saith
seynt
bernard
/
The
day
shal
come
/
that
clene
&
holy
hertes
shal
be
more
worth
than
wordes
aourned
/
&
good
conscience
better
than
a
sacke
ful
of

For
this
is
he
that
shal
not
be
deceyued
by
wordes
/
ne
shal
bowe
for

/
&
herof
saith
seynt
Austyn
/
we
awayte
vpon
the
day
of

/
&
that
day
shal
be
right

of

/
The

none
Abbot

ne
no

may
corrupte
hym
for

ne

ne
for

/
For
all
goodnes
is
in
hym
/
Therfore
none
hate
may
be
in
hym
/
wherof
Salomon
the
wyse
saith

God

thynge
that
he

For
he

&
so
Iuste

that

that

his

they

whom
he

after
this
that
dauid

Also
he
shal
not
be
deceyued
by

/
For
he
is

Of

saith
seynt

as

the

for

As
of

yf

it

For
ther
is
none
therin
aboue
hym
souerayn

in

wise
of
th

and
of
the
pope
/
Secondly
for
th
evydence
of
the
cryme

wiche
is

Thirdly
whan
the
thynge
of

is
yeuen
may
not
be
differred
/
And
that
it
haue
not
dilacion

And
for
thise
thre
causes
/
ther
maye
none
appele
be
fro
the
dyuyne
sentence
/
First
for
th
excellence
of
the
Iuge
For
god
hath
none
aboue
hym
/
but
he
is
aboue
all
other
in
eternyte
/
in
dignyte
/
and
in
auctorite
/
And
somme
wise
/
may
be
appelled
fro
the
Emperour
to
god
/
But
fro
god
may
noman
appelle
/
for
he
hath
none
aboue
hym
/
Secondly
for
the
crime
/
For
alle
trespaas
and
synnes
shal
be
there
openly
shewd
/
wherof
saith
seynt
Ierome
/
that
in
this
daye
alle
our
dedes
shal
be
shewd
/
like
as
they
were
writen
in
a
table
&
noted
/
Thirdly
for
the
thyng
whiche
may
not
suffre
dilacion
/
For
alle
thynges
that
shal
be
don
atte
Iugement
shal
be
don
in
a
twynkelyng
of
an
eye
/
Thenne
late
vs
pray
that
we
may
in
this
holy
tyme
so
to
receyue
hym
that
at
the
day
of

we
may
be

the

that

And
there
they
shold
fynd
the

of
the
virgyne
god

Also
ther
appered
in

thre
sonnes

whiche
lytil
&
lytil
assembled
to

and
were
all
on

As
it
is
sygnyfyed
to

that
thies
thre
thynges
/
is
the
godhed
/
the
soule
/
and
the
bodye
/
whiche
ben
in
thre
natures
assembled
in
one
persone
/
Also
Octauian
th
emperour
/
like
as
Innocent
recordeth
/
That
he
was
moche
desyred
of
his
counseyll
and
of
his
people
/
that
he
shold
doo
men
worshippe
hym

For
neuer

so
grete
a

Thenne
th

Thus
atte

behelde

And
in
the
myddle
of
the
cercle
a
mayde
holdyng
a
chyld
in
her
armes
Thenne
she
called
th
emperour
and
shewd
it
hym
/
whan
Octauien
sawe
that
/
he
merveylled
ouer
moche
/
wherof
Sebyle
sayd
to
hym
/
hic
puer
maior
te

/
This
Chyld
is
gretter
lord
than
thou
art

worshippe
hym
/
Thenne
whan
th
emperour
vnderstod
that
this
chyld
was
gretter
lord
than
he
was
he
wold
not
be
worshipped
as
god
/
but
worshipped
this
child
that
shold
be
born
/
wherfore
the
Cristen
men
made
a
chirche
of
the
same
chambre
of
th
emperour
/
and
named
it
Ara
celi
/
After
this
it
happed
on
a
nyght
/
as
a
grete
maistre
whiche
is
of
grete
auctorite
in
scripture
whiche
is
named
bartilmew
recordeth
that
the
Rodde
of
eugaddi
whiche
is
by
Iherusalem
whiche
berith
bame
flowred
this
nyght
and
bare
fruit
and
gaf
liquour
of
bame
/
After
this
cam
the
angelle
and
apperid
to
the
shepherdes
that
kepte
their
sheep
/
and
said
to
theym
/
I
anounce
and
shewe
to
you
a
grete
Ioye
/
For
the
savyour

the
world

in
this
nyght
born
/
in
the
cyte
of
Bethleem
/
there
may
ye
fynd
hym
wrapped
in
clowtes
/
And
anon
as
the
Aungell
had
said
this

a
grete
multitud
of
angelis
appered
with
hym
/
&
began
to
synge

honour
glorye
&
helth
be
to
god
on
hye
/
And
in
th
erthe
peas
to
men
of
good
wyll
/
Thenne
said
the
shepherdes
late
vs
goo
to
bethleem
and
see
this
thyng
/
And
whan
they
cam
they
fonde
lyke
as
the

had
said
And
it
happed
this
nyght
/
that
all
the
sodomytes
that
dyde
synne
ayenst

were
deed

For
god
hated
so
moche
this

that
he
myght
not

that

humayne
whiche
he
had
taken

wherof

saith

that
it
lackyd

lytil

that

In

This

Now

For

The

that

/
is

of

For
on
this
day
fyrst
he
began
to

/
the

tymes
he
shedde
/
Fyue
tymes

First
atte
his

/
And
this

was
the
begynnyng

/
Secondly
in

/
And
in

Thirdly
wan
he

Fourthly

The

First
for
the
cause
of
hym self
/
that
he
wold
shewe
that
he
had
taken
our
uery
flessh
humayne
/
For
he
knewe
wel
/
that

shold
somme
come
after
that
shold
saye
/
that
he
had
not
taken
body
real
of
the
virgyne
Marie
/
And
therfore
wold
he
be
circumcised
really
in
flessh
humayne
/
for
to
destroye
theyr
erroure
/
And
to
shede

/
For

/
Secondly
for
the
cause
of

/
for
to
shewe
to

After

/
Ther
be
two
maner
of
circumsicions
that
we
ought
to
doo
/
that
is
to
wete
withoute
forth
our
flessh
/
&
within
our
herte
/
The
circumsicion
of
our
body
/
is
in
thre
thynges
/
in
habyte
that
it
be
not
noyeful
/
In
operacion
that
it
be
not
repreuable
/
in
worde
that
it
by
not
despytous
/
The
circumsicion
of
the
herte
within
forth
is
also
in
thre
thynges
/
in
thought
that
it
be
holy
/
in
affection
that
it
be
pure
/
in
encencion
that
it
be
rightfull
/
Item
for
the
rightful
cause
of
vs
/
to
that
he
wold
saue
vs
in
this
maner
that
he
was
cutte
in
one
membre
for
to
saue
all
the
body
/
In
lyke
wyse
wold
Ihu
Cryst
suffre
the
cuttyng
of
his
circumcision
for
to
saue
all
the
spyrituel
body
of
the
chirche
/
They
ben
the
membres
of
the
chirche
that
byleue
in
hym
/
whiche
by
the
faith
of
the
chirche
shall
be
saued
/
Of
whiche
circumsicion
saith
saynt
poul
ad
Colocenses
secundo
/
ye
haue
taken
the
circumcison
not
made
with
the
honde
to
despoylle
&
cutte
the
flesshe
/
but
the
spirituel
circumsicion
of
Ihesu
Cryst
is
that
all
vices
be
cutte
of
&
take
away
/
Thirdly
he
wold
be
circumcised
by
cause
of
the
Iewes
/
that
they
shold
haue
none
excusacion
/
but
for
to
byleue
in
hym
/
For
yf
he
had
not
be
circumsised
/
they
myght
saye
/
they
ought
not
to
receyue
hym
by
cause
he
folowed
not
the
fadres
of
the
lawe
/
Fourthly
by
cause
the
deuyl
shold
haue
no
knowleche
of
the
mystery
of
th
yncarnacion
/
As
the
circumsicion
was
gyuen
ayenst
orygynal
synne
/
the
deuyl
wende
that
he
that
receyued
it
were
a
synnar
/
&
had
nede
of
the
remedye
of
circumsicion
/
And
for
this
cause
Ihesu
Cryste
wold
that
his
moder
beyng
all
way
a
virgyne
shold
be
maryed
/
by
cause
that
by
the
sacrament
of
matrymonye
/
his
Incarnacion
shold
be
hyd
from
the
feende
/
Fyfthly
for
to
fulfylle
parfyght
Iustice
and
parfyght
humylyte
/
the
whiche
is
to
submytte
hym
to
one
lower
than
hym selfe
/
therfore
wold
he
thus
be
circumcised
/
for
to
shewe
to
vs
this
humylite
/
as
he
that
is
lorde
and
maistre
of
the
lawe
/
submysed
hym selfe
to
the
lawe
/
Sixthly
for
tapproue
and
fulfyll
the
lawe
of
Moyses
/
the
whiche
was
good
&
holy
For
he
was
not
comen
for
to
destroye
the
lawe
/
but
for
to
fulfylle
and
kepe
the
lawe
/
Thus
saith
saynt
poul
the
xv
chapytre
/
I
saye
to
you
that
Ihesu
Cryst
was
mynystre
of
the
circumsicion
for
the
trouth
of
god
/
to
conferme
the
promesses
that
he
had
mad
vnto
the
fadres
of
tho
lde
lawe
/
And
the
cause
why
the
circumsicion
was
made
the
viij
/
day
/
ther
ben
assigned
many
reasons
/
The
first
is
for
to
vnderstonde
the
sence
of
the
lettre
as
it
lyeth
/
For
lyke
as
Raby
moyses
whiche
was
a
right
grete
philosophre
in
theologye
how
wel
that
he
was
a
Iewe
/
whan
a
chylde
in
the
state
of
vij
dayes
after
he
is
born
/
is
also
tendre
/
as
he
were
yet
in
the
wombe
of
his
moder
/
And
atte
vij
day
he
is
fortefyed
and
affermed
/
Therfor
as
he
saith
/
our
lord
wold
that
the
lytil
children
atte
viij
day
shold
be
circumcised
/
by
cause
they
shold
not
be
hurte
by
the
grete
tendrenes
that
they
haue
yet
/
And
he
wold
not
that
they
shold
abyd
aboue
the
viij
day
for
iij
causes
that
he
assigneth
/
The
first
is
fore
to
eschewe
the
peryll
of
deth
/
that
he
shold
not
deye
within
the
viij
dayes
/
The
seconde
is
for
t
eschewe
the
payne
of
the
chyldren
For
in
the
doyng
of
the
circumsicion
is
a
grete
payne
/
And
therfore
wold
our
lord
god
/
that
they
were
circumcised
whylis
they
had
lytyl
ymagynacion
/
For
whan
they
haue
lytil
vnderstondyng
/
they
fele
not
so
moche
payne
/
The
thirde
cause
/
for
t
eschewe
the
heuynes
of
the
parentes
/
For
by
the
circumsicion
many
chyldren
deyed
/
And
yf
they
had
abyden
til
they
had
be
gretter
/
And
thenne
deyed
/
the
fader
and
moder
shold
haue
ben
more
soroufull
/
than
they
shold
be
atte
age
of
viij
dayes
The
second
cause
is
vnderstande
in
spirituel
dede
/
that
is
to
wyte
/
that
the
viij
day
is
taken
for
the
resurrexion
/
whiche
is
the
vtas
of
our
lyf
/
For
thenne
shal
we
be
circumcised
fro
alle
payne
and
fro
all
myserye
/
And
thus
/
thies
viij
dayes
shall
be
vnderstod
by
the
viij
ages
/
The
first
is
fro
Adam
to
Noe
/
The
second
fro
Noe
to
abraham
/
The
thirde
fro
abraham
to
Moyses
/
The
fourthe
fro
moyses
vnto
Dauid
/
The
fyfte
fro
Dauid
to
Ihesu
Cryst
/
The
vj
fro
Ihesu
Cryst
vnto
th
ende
of
the
world
/
The
vij
of
the
deyeng
on
th
erthe
/
And
the
viij
of
the
general
resurrection
to
heuen
/
Or
by
theis
viij
ben
vnderstande
viij
thynges
the
whiche
we
haue
in
the
lyf
perdurable
/
the
whiche
seynt
Austyn
reherceth
/
in
recityng
that
our
lord
saith
/
what
other
thynge
is
it
that
he
saith
/
I
shal
be
theyr
god
/
that
is
that
I
shal
be
to
them
all
that
/
wherof
they
shal
be
ful
/
And
al
that
whiche
by
reson
they
may
demaunde
/
that
is
to
wete
/
lyf
/
helth
/
mete
habondance
of
all
glorye
/
honour
/
and
peas
/
and
all
goodnes
/
Or
otherwise
we
may
take
by
the
vij
dayes
a
man
in
body
&
in
soule
/
of
whiche
the
iiij
dayes
ben
vnderstande
by
the
iiij
elementes
of
whiche
the
body
is
composed
/
And
iij
dayes
/
they
ben
iij
vertues
naturell
that
ben
in
the
soule
/
for
to
desire
or
coueyte
For
to
be
angry
or
moeued
/
For
to
vnderstonde
reason
&
to
conceyue
it
/
The
man
thenne
that
now
hath
vij
dayes
/
whan
he
shal
be
ioyned
to
god
/
fro
whom
the
Ioynyng
shal
neuer
be
deffeted
/
thenne
shal
he
haue
the
viij
day
/
And
in
this
viij
day
he
shal
be
circumcised
fro
all
synne
and
from
alle
payne
/
The
thirde
reason
is
taken
after
the
sens
morall
/
And
after
this
/
the
viij
dayes
may
be
taken
in
dyuerse
purpos
/
The
first
may
be
said
knowlege
of
his
synne
/
lyke
as
dauid
saith
Quoniam
iniquitatem
meam
ego
cognosco
/
I
haue
knowlechyng
of
my
synne
/
The
seconde
pourpos
/
is
for
to
leue
synne
/
and
take
the
good
/
the
whiche
is
shewd
vs
by
the
sone
that
dispended
his
good
folyly
/
And
whan
he
had
perceyued
that
he
had
don
euyll
&
folisshly
/
he
aduertised
hym self
/
and
saide
I
shal
departe
and
retourne
to
my
fader
/
And
shal
praye
that
I
may
serue
hym
/
and
that
he
receyue
me
to
mercy
/
&
make
me
as
one
of
his
seruauntis
The
thirde
is
shame
of
synne
/
wherof
saith
seynt
poul
to
them
that
for
their
synnes
be
in
peyne
and
in
torment
/
what
fruyt
haue
ye
founden
in
the
synnes
in
your
lyf
/
of
whiche
now
ye
be
ashamed
The
fourth
is
drede
of
the
comyng
Iugement
and
dome
/
wherof
Iob
saith
/
I
haue
fered
and
doubted
god
/
as
men
drede
the
wawes
of
the
see
in
their
grete
rage
and
tempest
/
And
seynt
Iherome
saith
thus
/
Siue
comedam
siue
bibam
&c
As
ofte
as
I
ete
or
drynke
/
or
that
I
doo
ony
other
thynge
/
alway
me
semeth
that
I
here
the
soun
&
the
voys
cryeng
/
Aryse
ye
dede
men
/
and
come
to
the
dome
and
Iugement
/
The
v
is
concricion
/
wherof
seynt
Iherome
saith
/
gyue
thy
wepyng
&
bytternesse
/
of
that
whiche
thou
hast
angryd
thy
god
by
thy
synne
/
The
vj
is
confession
/
wherof
dauid
saith
/
dixi
confitebor
&c
.
I
haue
said
&
purposed
in
my
herte
/
that
I
shal
confesse
me
to
god
and
make
knowleche
of
my
synne
/
The
seuenth
is
hope
of
pardon
/
For
yf
Iudas
had
had
very
repentaunce
&
hope
/
and
had
confessid
his
synne
/
he
had
had
foryeuenes
&
pardon
/
The
viij
is
satisfaction
and
sacrefyse
/
And
then
is
the
man
veryly
circumcised
/
not
only
fro
the
synne
/
but
also
fro
payne
/
where
the
ij
first
dayes
ben
for
the
sorowe
of
synne
that
hath
be
don
/
and
the
will
for
tamende
it
the
thirde
day
we
shold
confesse
the
euyll
that
we
haue
don
/
and
the
good
dedes
that
we
haue
left
/
The
other
iiij
dayes
ben
oryson
/
effusion
of
teres
/
Affliction
of
body
/
And
almesse
gyuen
/
Or
other
wise
by
these
viij
dayes
may
be
vnderstande
viij
thynges
/
of
whiche
the
consideracion
cutteth
of
and
taketh
awey
all
euyll
wyll
of
synne
/
And
who
that
shal
considere
it
/
shal
haue
made
a
grete
Iorney
/
Of
whiche
seynt
bernard
nameth
vij
of
them
/
sayeng
that
vij
thinges
ben
in
th
essence
of
a
man
/
that
yf
a
man
wel
considere
them
/
he
shal
neuer
synne
/
And
they
be
thies
/
the
vnite
of
our
nature
/
the
vilte
and
fylthe
of
our
werkes
/
The
sorowe
of
our
yssuyng
/
The
mutabylite
of
our
estate
/
Thangnyssh
of
the
deth
/
The
myserable
and
vnsurete
of
our
nature
of
body
and
of
soule
/
The
dampnacion
detestable
and
horrible
/
&
the
consideracion
of
the
glorye
of
heuene
/
whiche
may
not
be
recounted
/
the
fourth
reason
is
taken
to
the
vnderstandyng
espirytuell
/
And
after
this
/
the
fyue
dayes
shal
be
the
fyue
bokes
of
moyses
/
in
whiche
the
lawe
is
conteyned
/
And
the
two
other
/
ben
the
prophetes
&
the
the
psalmes
of
dauid
/
And
/
the
viij
shal
be
the
doctryne
of
the
gospellis
/
but
in
the
first
vij
dayes
/
the
circumcision
parfyght
was
not
made
/
but
on
the
viij
daye
was
parfyght
/
circumcision
of
synne
and
of
payne
now
it
is
made
in
hope
/
After
it
shal
be
don
in
dede
/
And
of
the
flessh
of
the
circumcision
of
Ihesu
Cryst
/
it
is
said
that
the
āgele
brought
it
to
Charlemayn
&
he
bare
it
to
Amcon
And
sette
it
there
honourably
in
the
chirche
of
our
lady
And
after
as
it
is
said
that
he
bare
it
to
Chartres
/
And
now
it
is
said
/
to
be
at
Rome
in
the
chirche
that
is
called
scan
sanctorum
/
And
there
it
is
wreton
/
that
the
precious
flessh
of
Ihu
Cryst
is
there
right
clere
/
and
the
nauyll
also
/
Also
it
is
said
that
it
is
in
the
chirche
of
our
lady
at
andwarp
in
braband
/
And
there
I
knowe
Well
that
on
trynyte
sonday
they
shewe
it
with
grete
reuerence
/
And
is
there
born
abowte
with
a
grete
and
a
solempne
procession
and
that
though
I
be
vnworthy
haue
seen
dyuerse
tymes
And
haue
rede
and
herd
there
of
many
myracles
that
god
hath
shewd
there
for
it
/
And
as
towchyng
I
haue
herd
saye
there
/
that
there
was
a
Cardynal
sente
fro
Rome
for
to
see
it
/
And
as
he
was
at
his
masse
solempnly
/
it
was
leyd
on
the
corporas
at
whiche
tyme
it
bled
thre
dropes
of
blood
on
the
said
corporas
/
There
they
worshippe
it
as
fore
the
flessh
of
our
lord
whiche
was
cutte
of
at
his
circunsicion
&
named
it
there
prepucium
dni
/
yf
it
be
trewe
/
to
somme
it
semeth
merueyll
by
cause
it
is
so
that
the
flessh
that
was
cut
of
/
was
of
the
very
flessh
that
was
cutte
of
his
body
humayne
/
¶
Somme
hold
that
whan
Ihesu
Cryst
aroos
fro
deth
to
lyf
/
that
he
retourned
with
the
body
gloryfyed
to
his
place
/
Of
the
vtas
of
the
natyuyte
of
Ihesu
Cryst
/
that
is
callid
the
day
of
circumsicion
/
we
fynd
that

Ihesu
Cryst
sayde
by
the
mouthe
of
his
sayntes
/
Non

/
I
cam
not
said
Ihu
Cryst
to
breke
the
lawe
/
but
to
fulfylle
it
/
And
he
was
that
day
circcumcised
and
named
Ihesus
/
whiche
is
as
moche
to
saye
as
sauyour
/
And
at
the
circumcision
/
must
be
cutte
a
litil
of
the
skynne
at
th
ende
of
the
membre
or
yerde
/
And
that
is
sygnysyrd
and
shewde
that
we
ought
to
be
circumcised
/
and
cutte
and
takeen
away
fro

by

and
by

/
and
to
gyue
for

sake
of
the

For
we
haue
nothyng
propre
/
but
Ihesu
Cryst
hath
lente
to
vs
all
that
we
haue
/
thenne
it
is
wel
reason
/
that
we
doo
gyue
for
hym
to
the
poure
of
suche
goodes
as
be

/
For
we
ben

And
we

And
despoylle
our self
fro

And
clothe
vs
with
good
werkes

vertues
/
And
folowe
the

comandement
of
Ihesu
Cryst

And
in
this
manere
we
shal
fulfyll
the
wyll
of
our
fader
Ihesu
Cryst
/
yf
we
ben
so
purged
and
thus
circumcised
/
Thenne
late
vs
pray
vnto
the
lord
of

that
saith
that
he
cam
not
to

but
to

In
suche
maner
to
fulfyll
the
lawe

his
wyll
in

that
we
may
come
in
to

he
torned

some

Of

as

the
thre
kynges

That
is

And
in

/
Iaspar

Melchior
and

/
¶
And
it
is
to
wete
that
this
name
Magus
hath
thre
significacions
/
It
is
said
illuseur
or
deceyuour
/
Enchaunteur
/
and
wyse
/
They
ben
sayd
illuseurs
and
deceyuours
by
cause
they
deceyued
herodes
/
For
they
retorned
not
by
hym
whan
they
departed
fro
the
place
where
they
had
honoured
and
offred
to
Ihesus
/
but
retorned
by
another
way
in
to
theire
contre
/
¶
Magus
also
is
said
enchaunteur
/
And
herof
ben
said
th
enchauntours
of
pharao
Magi
/
whiche
by
their
malefice
made
their
merueylles
by
them
chauntyng
of
the
craft
of
the
deuyl
/
And
saynt
Iohn
Grisostom
calleth
this
kynges
magos
/
as
wycked
and
euyldoers

For
fyrst
they
were
ful
of
malefices
/
but
after
they
were
conuerted
/
to
whom
god
wold
shewe
his
natyuyte
/
and
bryng
them
to
hym
/
to
th
ende
that
to
synners
he
wold
doo
pardon
Item
¶
Magus
is
said
wise
/
For
Magus
in
hebrewe
is
said
doctour
in
greke
philosopher
/
and
in
latyn
wyse
/
wherof
they
be
sayd
magi
/
that
is
to
saye
grete
in
wisedom
/
And
thies
thre
cam
in
to
Iherusalem
with
a
grete
companye
and
grete
estate
/
But
wherfore
cam
they
to
Iherusalem
whan
the
chyld
was
not
born
there
/
Seynt
remyge
assygneth
foure
reeasons
/
¶
The
first
reson
is
that
the
kynges
had
knouleghe
of
the
natyuyte
of
the
chyld
that
was
born
of
the
virgyne
marye
/
But
not
of
the
place
/
And
by
cause
that
Iherusalem
was
the
most
cyte
Ryall
/
And
there
was
the
See
of
the
souerayn
preest
/
they
thought
that
so
noble
a
chyld
so
nobly
shewd
/
ought
to
be
born
in
the
most
noble
cyte
that
was
ryalle
/
The
seconde
cause
was
/
For
in
Iherusalem
were
the
doctours
and
the
wyse
men
by
whome
they
myght
knowe
where
the
sayd
chyld
was
born
/
The
third
cause
was
to
th
ende
that
the
Iewes
shold
haue
none
excusacion
/
For
they
myght
haue
sayd
that
they
had
knowleche
of
the
place
/
where
he
shold
be
born
/
but
the
tyme
knewe
they
not
&
therfore
they
myght
saye
we
beleue
it
not
/
And
the
kynges
shewde
to
them
the
tyme
/
and
the
Iewes
shewde
the
place
/
The
fourth
to
the
doubte
of
the
Iewes
&
their
curiosite
/
for
thise
kynges
byleued
one
only
prophete
/
And
the
Iewes
byleued
not
many
/
They
sought
a
straunge
kynge
/
And
the
Iewes
sought
not
their
owne
kynge
/
Thise
kynges
cam
fro
ferre
contrees
/
And
the
Iewes
were
neghbour●
fast
by
/
These
kynges
were
successours
of
balaam
/
And
cam
at
the
visyon
and
sight
of
the
sterre
/
by
the
prophesie
of
their
fader
whiche
said
/
that
a
sterre
shal
be
born
or
sprynge
out
of
Iacob
/
and
a
man
shal
arise
of
the
lignage
of
Israhel
●
That
other
cause
that
meueth
theym
to
come
to
Iherusalem
putteth
saynt
Iohn
Crisostome
whiche
saith
That
ther
were
somme
that
affermeden
for
trouthe
/
that
there
were
grete
clerkes
that
curiously
studyed
to
knowe
the
secretes
of
heuen
/
And
after
they
chosen
xij
of
them
/
to
take
hede
/
And
yf
ony
of
thyem
deyede
/
his
sone
or
next
kynnesman
shold
be
sette
in
his
place
/
And
thise
xij
euery
yere
/
ascended
vpon
a
montayne
whiche
was
called
victoryal
/
and
thre
dayes
they
abode
there
/
and
weesshe
them
clene
/
and
prayed
our
lord
that
he
wold
shewe
to
theym
the
sterre
that
balaam
had
sayd
and
prophesyed
be
forn
/
Now
it
hapened
on
a
tyme
/
that
they
were
there
the
day
of
the
natyuyte
of
Ihesu
Cryst
/
and
asterre
cam
ouer
theym
vpon
this
montayne
/
whiche
had
the
fourme
/
of
aright
fayr
child
&
vnder
his
●ede
was
a
shynyng
crosse
/
whiche
spack
to
thise
iij
kynges
sayeng
Goo
ye
hastely
in
to
the
londe
of
Iudee
/
And
there
ye
shal
fynde
the
kynge
that
ye
s●che
whiche
is
born
of
a
virgyne
/
Another
cause
putteth
seynt
Austyn
/
For
it
myght
wel
be
that
the
angele
of
heuene
appiered
to
theym
whiche
sayde
the
sterre
that
ye
see
/
is
Ihesu
Cryst
/
Goo
ye
anone
and
worshippe
hym
/
Another
cause
putteth
seynt
lyon
/
that
by
the
sterre
whiche
appiered
to
theym
/
whiche
was
more
resplendisshyng
/
&
shynyng
than
the
other
/
that
it
shewde
the
souerayn
kynge
to
be
born
on
th
erthe
/
Thenne
anon
departed
they
for
to
come
to
that
place
/
Now
may
it
be
demanded
/
how
in
so
lytil
space
of
xiij
dayes
/
they
myght
come
from
so
ferre
as
fro
the
eest
vnto
Iherusalem
/
whiche
is
in
the
myddle
of
the
world
/
whiche
is
a
grete
space
and
longe
way
/
Therto
answerith
seynt
remyge
the
doctour
and
saith
that
the
chyld
tho
whom
they
wente
/
myght
well
make
them
to
goo
somoche
way
in
that
while
/
Or
after
this
that
saynt
Iherome
saith
/
that
they
cam
opōdromedaries
/
whiche
ben
beestis
that
may
goo
as
moche
in
one
day
as
an
horse
in
thre
dayes
/
And
whan
they
cam
in
to
Iherusalem
/
they
demaunded
in
what
place
the
kynge
of
Iewes
was
born
/
And
they
demaunded
not
yf
he
was
born
For
they
byleuyd
it
fermly
/
that
he
was
born
/
And
yf
ony
had
demaunded
of
them
/
wher
by
knowe
ye
/
that
he
is
born
they
wold
haue
answerd
/
we
haue
seen
his
sterre
in
th
oryent
/
And
therfore
we
come
to
worsshippe
hym
/
This
is
to
vnderstond
/
we
beyng
in
the
oryent
sawe
his
sterre
/
that
shewde
that
he
was
born
in
Iudee
/
And
we
be
come
to
worship
-
hym
/
And
therfore
saith
this
doctour
Remyge
that
they
confessid
this
child
veray
man
/
veray
kynge
/
and
veray
god
veray
man
whan
they
said
/
where
is
he
that
is
born
/
veray
kynge
/
whan
they
said
kynge
of
Iewes
/
veray
god
/
whan
we
be
comen
to
worshippe
hym
/
For
ther
was
a
comaundement
/
that
none
shold
be
worshipped
but
god
/
And
thus
as
saith
saint
Iohan
Crisostome
they
confessyd
the
chlyd
/
veray
god
/
by
worde
/
by
dede
/
And
by
yeftes
of
their
tresours
that
they
offred
to
hym
/
and
whan
herode
hade
herd
this
/
he
was
moche
troubled
/
And
all
/
Iherusalem
with
hym
herode
was
troubled
for
thre
causes
/
Fyrst
by
cause
he
dredde
that
the
Iewes
wold
resseyue
the
chyld
born
for
thier
kyng
/
And
reffuse
hym
as
a
straunger
wherof
saith
saynt
Iohn
crisostōe
in
suche
wise
as
the
bowes
of
a
tree
that
ben
hye
be
soone
moeuyd
▪
with
the
wynde
/
so
they
that
ben
in
hye
estate
of
the
world
a
lyght
renomee
troubthle
them
/
Secondly
lest
he
shold
be
blamed
of
the
Rom●ynes
/
yf
ony
were
kyng
but
yf
he
were
ordeyned
by
th
emperour
/
For
so
had
the
Romayns
ordeyned
/
that
none
shold
be
callyd
lorde
ne
kynge
/
but
yf
it
were
by
the
commandement
of
th
emperour
/
¶
Thirdly
he
was
angry
/
as
saynt
gregory
saith
/
whan
the
kynge
of
henen
was
born
/
the
kynge
of
th
erthe
was
troubled
and
not
without
cause
/
For
the
erthely
lordshyp
is
counfounded
whan
the
hyenes
of
heuene
is
declared
and
perceyued
/
And
all
the
contree
of
Ierusalem
was
troubled
with
hym
for
thre
causes
/
Fyrst
by
cause
that
the
euyll
enioye
them
not
/
of
the
presence
ne
the
comyng
of
the
ryghtfull
and
iuste
/
Secondly
for
adulacion
and
flateryng
/
that
they
were
sory
of
his
angre
Thirdly
for
lyke
as
the
wyndes
that
ben
contrarye
in
the
see
as
longe
as
the
wawes
be
moeued
/
In
lyke
wyse
the
contraryte
of
prynces
and
wrath
falleth
on
the
people
/
And
therfore
they
doubted
and
feered
leste
they
shold
be
tormented
¶
Thenne
herode
called
alle
the
prestes
of
the
lawe
/
and
doctours
/
and
demaunded
of
theym
/
where
Ihesu
Cryst
shold
be
born
/
And
whan
he
had
vnderstonde
of
theym
that
he
shold
be
born
in
bethleem
the
Cyte
of
Iuda
/
he
called
the
thre
kynges
a
parte
/
and
demaunded
of
theym
dylygently
the
tyme
that
the
sterre
appiered
to
theym
/
For
to
knowe
/
what
he
shold
doo
yf
the
kynges
retorned
not
agayn
to
hym
/
And
he
said
to
theym
/
assone
as
ye
shal
haue
founden
the
chyld
/
and
haue
worshipped
hym
/
that
they
shold
retorne
and
shewe
it
to
hym
/
In
faynyng
that
he
wold
worshippe
also
hym
/
¶
And
thought
that
he
wold
goo
sle
hym
/
¶
And
it
is
to
wyte
that
assone
as
they
were
entred
in
to
Ihrlm
/
the
sight
of
the
sterre
was
taken
from
them
/
and
for
thre
causes
/
First
that
they
shold
be
constreyned
to
seche
that
place
of
his
natyuyte
lyke
as
they
were
certefyed
by
the
appieryng
of
the
sterre
/
And
bye
the
prophesye
of
the
place
of
his
byrthe
/
and
so
it
was
don
/
Secondly
/
that
they
that
sought
the
helpe
and
the
world
/
had
deserued
to
lese
the
ayde
dyuyne
/
The
iij.
by
cause
that
the
signes
by
gyuen
to
mescreauntes
/
And
prophesyes
to
them
that
byleue
well
lyke
as
th
appostle
saith
And
therfore
the
signe
whiche
was
gyuen
to
the
thre
kynges
/
whiche
yet
were
paynems
/
ought
not
t
appere
to
them
as
longe
as
they
were
with
the
Iewes
/
and
whan
they
were
yssued
of
Iherusalem
the
sterre
appered
to
them
wiche
wente
to
fore
them
/
and
brought
them
/
til
it
cam
aboue
the
place
were
the
chyld
was
/
&
ye
ought
to
knowe
that
ther
ben
thre
opynyons
of
this
sterre
whiche
Remyge
the
doc
doctour
putteth
sayeng
/
that
some
saie
that
it
was
the
holy
goost
whiche
appiered
to
the
thre
kynges
in
the
fourme
of
a
sterre
whiche
after
appiered
vpon
the
hedeof
Ihesu
Cryst
in
the
lykenes
of
a
douue
/
Other
saye
/
lyke
to
saynt
Iohn
Crysostom
/
that
it
was
an
angele
that
apperyd
to
the
shepherdes
/
and
after
appered
to
the
kynges
/
but
to
the
shepherdes
Iewes
/
as
to
them
that
vse
reason
/
in
fourme
of
a
resonable
creature
/
And
to
the
paynems
as
to
vnresonable
/
in
lyknesse
of
nature
vnresonable
/
that
is
to
saye
of
a
sterre
/
Other
say
more
resonable
and
more
veritable
/
that
it
was
a
ster
newe
created
&
made
of
god
that
whiche
whan
he
had
don
his
offyce
/
was
brought
agayn
in
to
the
mater
wherof
it
was
first
fourmed
/
And
this
sterre
was
this
that
fulgencius
saith
/
it
differenced
fro
the
other
sterres
in
thre
thinges
/
First
in
situacion
/
for
it
was
not
fyxed
in
the
firmament
/
but
it
henge
in
thayer
nygh
to
th
erthe
/
Secondly
in
clerenes
/
for
it
was
shynyng
more
than
the
other
/
it
appiered
so
that
the
clerenes
of
the
sonne
myghy
not
hurte
ne
appale
hir
light
but
at
playn
mydday
it
had
right
grete
light
and
clerenes
/
¶
Thirdly
in
moeuyng
/
for
it
went
allway
to fore
the
kynges
in
maner
of
one
goyng
in
the
way
/
ne
it
had
none
tornyng
as
a
cercle
tourneth
but
in
suche
maner
as
a
persone
gooth
in
the
way
/
And
whan
the
kynges
were
yssued
out
of
Iherusalem
/
and
sette
in
their
waye
/
they
sawe
the
sterre
/
wherof
they
had
lost
the
sight
/
And
were
gretly
enioyed
/
And
we
ought
to
note
/
that
ther
ben
v
maners
of
sterres
that
thise
kynges
sawe
/
The
first
is
material
/
The
seconde
spirituel
/
The
thirde
Intellectuel
/
The
fourth
resonnable
/
The
fyfthe
substancyall
/
The
first
that
is
material
they
sawe
in
theest
/
The
seconde
that
is
spirituell
/
They
sawe
in
hert
/
and
that
is
in
the
faith
/
For
yf
this
faith
had
not
be
in
their
hertes
that
had
lighted
theym
they
had
neuer
seen
the
sterre
materiall
/
they
had
fayth
of
thumanyte
/
whan
they
said
where
is
he
that
is
born
and
of
his
Ryall
dignyte
/
whan
they
called
hym
/
kyng
of
Iewes
/
And
of
his
deite
whan
they
said
/
they
wente
to
worshippe
hym
/
The
thirde
/
Intellectuell
/
wiche
is
that
the
aungele
that
they
sawe
in
vysion
/
whan
it
was
by
th
angele
shewde
to
theym
/
that
they
shold
not
retorne
by

/
how
be
it
/
that
after
one
glose
/
it
was
our
lorde
that
warned
theym
/
The
fourthe
/
that
was
resonable
that
was
the
vyrgyne
marye
whom
they
sawe
in
the
stable
holdyng
her
chyld
/
The
fyft
that
is
substancyal
/
that
is
to
saye
that
he
had
substance
aboue
all
other
singuler
/
And
that
was
Ihu
Cryst
whom
they
sawe
in
the
crybbe
/
And
herof
is
it
said
in
the
gospel
/
that
they
entred
in
to
the
hous
/
and
fonde
the
chyld
wyth
marie
his

And
thenne
they
worshippid

And
whan

And

is
plonged
in
the
water
/
but
the
holy
goost
descended
vpon
hym
in
lyknes
of
a
douue
/
and
the
cause
wherfore
thise
kynges
offred
thise
yeftes
/
many
reasons
be
assygned
/
One
of
the
cause
is
as
saith
Remyge
the
doctour
/
that
th auncyent
ordenaunce
was
/
that
noman
shold
come
to
god
ne
to
the
kynge
with
a
voyd
hand
/
but
that
he
brought
hym
some
yefte
/
And
they
of
caldee
were
acoustomed
to
offre
suche
yeftes
/
They
as
scolastica
historia
saith
cam
from
th
end
of
perse
fro
the
caldeyens
where
as
is
the
flood
of
saba
/
of
whiche
flood
the
regyon
of
saba
is
named
/
The
seconde
reason
is
of
saynt
bernarde
/
For
they
offred
to
marye
the
moder
of
the
chyld
gold
for
to
releue
her
pouerte
/
Encence
ayenst
the
stenche
of
the

ayer
/
¶
Mirre
for
to
comforte
the
tendre
membres
of
the
chyld
and
to
putte
away
vermine
/
The
thirde
reason
was
that
they
offred
gold
for
to
paye
the
trybute
¶
Th
encence
for
to
make
sacrefice
the
myrre
for
the
sepulture
of

The
fourth
for

Th
encence
oroyson

¶
The
myrre
of
the
flesshe
mortyfycacyon

thies
thre
thinges
ought
we
offre
to

Te
fyfthe
by

by
these
thre
/
ben
sygnefyed

th

And
thise

is
vnderstonde
the
flesshe
whiche
was
without

And
the
kynges
whan
they
were
admonested
and
warned
by
reuelacion
in
theyr
slepe
/
that
they
shold
not
retorne

by
an
other

they
shold
retorne

lo
here
thenne
how
they
cam

wente

they
cam
to

worshippe
the
kynge

kynges
in
their
propre
personnes

by
the
sterre
that
led
them

and
the
prophete
that
enseygned
&
taught
them
/
And
by
the
warnyng
of
th
angele
retorned
/
And
rested
at
their
deth

Ihesu
Cryst

Then
ne

vs
pray
vnto
almyghty
god
that
this
day
shewed

And
at

where
the

Thus

Septuagesme
AT
Septuagesme
begynneth
the
tyme

goyng
out

whiche
began
at
Adam
and
dured
vnto
moyses
/
And
in
this
tyme
is
redde
the
book
of
genesis
/
The
tyme
of
septuagesme
representeth
the
tyme
of
deuyacion
that
is
of
transgression
/
The
sexagesme
sygnefyeth
the
tyme
of

/
The
quinquagesme
signefieth
the

The

endureth
vnto
the
saterday
after

The
septuagesme
was
institued
for
thre
reasons

lyke
as
mastre
Iohn
beleth
putteth
in
th
offyce
of

/
The
first
reason
was
for
the
redempcion

For
the
holy
fadres
somtyme
ordeyned
that
for
t
honour
of
th
ascencion
of
Ihu

In
the
whiche
our

ascended
in

And
was
enhaunsed
aboue

that
this

And
at
the
begynnyng
of

also
solempne
as
the

And
procession
was
made

in

to

therfor
comenly
the
prouerbe
was
/
that
the
thursday
and
the
sonday
were
cosyns
/
For
thenne
that
one
was
as
solempne
as
that
other
/
but
by
cause
that
the
festes
of

cam
and
ben
multeplyed
whiche
were
greuous
to
halowe
so
many
festes

therfore
the

And
for

that

ther
is
a
weke
of
abstynence
ordeyned
lyke
to
lente

and
is
called
septuagesme
/
That
other
reeason
is
for
the
sygnyficacion
of
the
tyme
/
For
by
this
tyme
is
signefyed
to
vs
the
tyme
of
deuiacion

of
goyng
out
of

Thus
leue
we
the

After

was
gyuen
to
them
to

so
we
doo
the

we
synge
Alleluya

in

wel
in

they
had
payne

therfor
we
synge

Esto

And
that
endeth
on

and
is
Iustitued
for
supplecion

fulfyllyng
for
signeficacion

and
for
representacion
for
fulfyllyng

accomplysshyng
/
by
cause
that
we
shold
faste
four●y
dayes
after
the
fourme
of
Ihesu
cryst
/
And
ther
be
but
xxxvj
dayes
to
faste
but
men
fast
not
the
sondayes
/
for
the
gladnesse
and
the
reuerence
of
the
resurrexion
/
and
also
for
th
ensaunple
of
Ihu
cryst
whiche
ete
two
tymes
with
his
disciples
on
the
day
of
his
resurrexion
/
whan
he
entred
in
where
his
discples
were
/
and
the
dores
or
yates
shytte
/
And
they
brought
hym
parte
of
a
rosted
fyssh
and
of
an
hony
combe
/
And
after
that
with
his
ij
disciples
whiche
wente
to
Emaus
/
He
ete
also
as
some
saye
/
And
therfore
ben
foure
dayes
put
to
for
acōplysshyng
of
the
sondayes
whiche
be
not
fasted
/
And
after
by
cause
the
clergye
goon
by
fore
the
comyn
peple
so
shold
they
goo
in
deuocion
and
holynesse
/
therfo
they
begynye
to
faste
two
dayes
byfore
/
and
absteyne
them
fro
etyng
flessh
/
And
thus
is
one
weke
put
to
/
whiche
is
called
the
qunquagesme
after
this
that
saynt
ambrose
saith
/
that
other
reason
is
for
the
signeficacion
for
the
quynquagesme
signefyeth
the
tyme
of
remyssion
/
And
of
penaunce
/
in
whiche
the
synnes
ben
pardonned
and
foryeuen
The
fyftythe
yere
was
the
yere
of
remyssyon
/
For
thenne
the
dettes
were
quyted
/
The
bonde
men
were
fraunchised
&
lete
goo
free
/
And
eueryche
cam
agayn
to
his
heritages
/
by
whiche
is
vnderstande
/
that
by
penaunce
our
synnes
be
foryeuen
/
And
fro
the
seruitude
&
bondage
of
oure
enemye
we
be
delyuerd
/
And
so
we
ben
retourned
to
the
mansion
of
our
heritage
of
heuen
/
The
thirde
reason
is
for
representacion
/
For
the
quynquagesme
representeth
not
to
vs
only
the
tyme
of
remyssyon
/
But
also
thestate
of
the
beatitude
of
heuene
whiche
is
to
vs
represented
/
For
in
the
fyftyth
yere
seruauntes
were
made
free
/
And
in
the
fyftyth
day
that
the
lambe
was
sacrefyed
the
lawe
of
moyses
was
gyuen
/
And
the
fyftyth
day
after
the
holy
goost
was
gyuen
/
And
therfore
this
name
fyfty
representeth
the
beatitude
of
heuen
/
where
as
was
taken
the
possession
of
liberte
the
knowleche
of
verite
/
and
perfection
of
charite
/
Now
it
is
to
wete
/
that
thre
thinges
ben
necessarye
whiche
be
conteyned
and
sette
in
th
epystle
/
and
in
the
gospell
/
that
is
that
penaunce
/
that
is
to
saye
the
werkes
of
penaunce
ben
perfyght
/
That
is
to
wete
/
charite
/
whiche
is
purposed
in
the
epistle
/
And
the
memorie
of
the
passion
of
Ihesu
cryst
/
and
faith
whiche
is
vnderstonde
/
by
the
sight
gyuen
to
the
blynde
man
/
whiche
ben
conteyned
in
the
gospell
/
For
fayth
/
maketh
the
werkes
acceptable
to
god
/
For
without
faith
noman
may
plese
god
/
&
the
mynde
of
the
passion
of
god
maketh
tho
werkes
lyght
/
wherof
saith
saint
gregory
/
yf
the
passyon
of
Ihesu
cryst
be
well
had
in
mynde
/
ther
is
nothyng
but
it
may
be
born
and
suffred
easely
For
the
loue
of
god
may
not
be
ydle
/
this
saith
seynt
gregorye
/
yf
it
werke
it
is
grete
/
And
if
it
refuse
/
it
is
no
loue
/
And
thus
as
the
chirche
at
the
begynnyng
/
as
despayrede
had
cryed
/
Circundederunt
me
gemitus
mortis
/
&
after
retornyng
to
hym
demaunded
to
be
holpen
/
Thus
now
whan
she
hath
take
affyaunce
and
hope
of
pardon
/
for
hope
of
penaunce
she
prayeth
and
saith
/
esto
mihi
in
deum
protectorem
/
Or
she
demaundeth
iiij
thynges
/
that
is
to
wete
protection
/
confirmacion
/
refuge
&
conduyte
/
All
the
chyldren
of
the
chirche
/
or
they
ben
in
grace
/
or
they
ben
in
synne
/
or
in
aduersyte
/
or
in
prosperite
/
They
that
ben
in
grace
demande
for
to
be
confermed
/
They
that
ben
in
synne
demaunde
refuge
/
They
in
aduersyte
demaunde
protection
/
that
they
fro
their
tribulations
may
be
defended
/
&
they
in
prosperite
demaunde
conduyte
/
that
they
●ay
be
of
god
ledde
and
conduyte
And
thus
as
it
is
said
quynquagesme
termineth
And
endeth
at
ester
by
cause
that
penaunce
maketh
them
to
ryse
to
newe
lyf
/
And
in
signeficacion
herof
/
the
psalme
of
miserere
mei
deus
/
whiche
is
the
fyftyth
psalme
/
And
the
psalme
of
penaunce
is
in
the
tyme
of
lente
oft
vsed
and
sayd
¶
Thus
endeth
the
mysterye
of
quanquagesme
¶
Of
quadragesme
THe
quadragesme
whiche
we
calle
now
in
englyssh
/
lente

bygynneth
the
sonday
in
whiche
is
songen
in
th
offyce
of
the

Inuocauit
me
&c
/
And
the
chirche
whiche
was
moche
troubled
to fore
by
so
many
trybulacions
and
had
cryed
/
Circundederunt
me
/
And
after
in
respyryng
&
syghyng
had
axyd
helpe
in
sayeng
/
Exurge

Now
she
sheweth
that
she
is
herd
/
whan
she
saith
he
hath
called
me
/
and
I
haue
herd
/
Now
it
is
to
vnderstonde
/
that
the
quadragesme
conteyneth
xlij
dayes
/
For
to
acounte
the
sondayes
/
And
yf
they
be
not
rekened

ther
ben
but
xxxvj
dayes
for

whiche
ben
the
thenthe
part

But
the
foure
dayes
to fore
ben
put
to

by
cause
the
nombred

by
the
quadragesme
be
accomplysshyd
/
the
whiche
our
saueour
Ihesu
Cryst
halowed
by
his
holy
fastyng
And
by
cause
we
faste
in
this
nombre
of
fourty
/
ther
may
be
assygned
thre
reasons
/
The
fyrst
reason
putteth
seynt
Austyn
whiche
saith
/
that
seynt
mathew
setteth
xl
generacions
/
to
th
ende
them
that
our
lord
by
his
holy
quadragesme
dessended
to

we
shold
assende
to
hym
by
our
quadragesme
/
That
other
assigneth
the
same
sayeng
/
To
that
we
may
haue
the
quynquagesme
/
We
must
put
to
xl
ten
/
For
vnto
that
/
that
we
may
com
to
the
blessed
glorye
and
rest
in
heuen
/
it
behoueth
vs
to
laboure
alle
the
tyme
of
this
present
lyf
/
And
therfore
our
lord
alode
xl
dayes
with
his
dissiples
after
his
resurection
/
and
after
the
tenth
day
he
sent
to
them
the
holy
ghost
/
The
third
reson
assigneth
maister
prepositiuus
in
the
some
of
th
office
of
the
chirche
whiche
seyeth
/
The
world

the

we

the
newe
lawe
whiche
is
ordeyned
of
foure
euangelistes

And
the
x
commaundementis
that
we
haue
broken
It
behoueth
then
that
the
nombre
of
ten
by
the
nombre
of
iiij
be
multiplyed

that
thus
we
make
the
quadragesme

Our

Saynt
gregorye
in
his
omelyes
putteth
also
thre
reasons
/
wherfore
in
abstinence
is
holden
the
nombre
of
xl
/
For
the
vertu
of
the
x
comaundementis
in
the
lawe
/
And
for
th
accomplysshement
of
the
iiij
bokes
of
theuangelistes
/
And
also
in
this
world
we
that
ben
in
mortal
body
be
compo●●d
of
the
iiij
elementis
/
And
by
the
wyll
of
the
mortal
body
/
we
gaynsay
the
commaundementes
of
god
therfor
then
we
that
haue
disobeyed
the
cōnaūdemētis
of
god
by
the
desire
of
the
flessh
/
it
is
cordyng
that
the
same
flessh
by
iiij
tymes
x
We
put
to
penaunce
&
affliccyon
/
fro
this
present
day
vnto
ester
vj
wekes
comyng
that
ben
xlij
dayes
/
Yf
the
sondayes
be
taken
away
/
Ther
abyde
in
th
abstynence
but
xxxvj
dayes
/
And
the
yere
is
demened
by
iij
hondred
sixty
and
v
dayes
/
we
gyuen
the
tithe
of
them
to
god
whan
we
fast
/
And
this
saith
seynt
gregorye
/
wherfore
kepe
we
not
this
fastyng
/
in
the
tyme
that
Ihu
cryst
fasted
whiche
was
anon
after
his
baptesme
/
But
we
begynne
so
that
we
continue
vntil
ester
/
herof
ben
assyned
iiij
reasons
in
the
some
of
th
office
of
master
Iohn
bethel
/
in
th
office
of
the
chirche
Tle
first
is
that
we
wyl
aryse
with
Ihu
Cryst
/
For
he
suffrid
for
us
/
And
we
ought
to
suffre
for
hym
/
The
second
is
To
that
we
shold
folowe
the
chyldren
of
Israel
whiche
first
yssued
out
of
egipte
/
And
in
this
tyme
yssued
also
out
of
babylone
/
the
whiche
thyng
appiereth
/
For
as
wel
that
one
as
that
other
/
anon
as
they
were
retorned
/
halowed
the
solempnyte
of
ester
/
Andthus
we
for
to
ensue
them
in
this
tyme
we
faste
to
th
ende
that
fro
egipte
and
fro
babilone
that
is
to
vnderstond
from
this
mortal
world
in
to
the
contraye
of
our
heritage
of
heuen
we
may
entre
/
The
thirde
reason
is
/
by
cause
that
in
the
prym
temps
the
hete
of
the
flessh
meueth
and
boyleth
/
to
th
end
that
we
may
refrayne
vs
/
ther
in
this
tyme
we
fast
/
The
fourth
is
/
for
asmoche
as
anon
after
oure
fastyng
/
we
ought
receyue
the
body
of
Ihesu
crist
/
For
in
lyke
wise
as
the
children
of
Israhel
to fore
they
had
eten
the
lomb
/
they
put
them
in
afflicion
by
penaunce
/
in
etyng
wylde
letuse
&
bitter
/
right
so
we
ought
to
withdrawe
&
put
vs
in
affliction
by
penaunce
/
to
th
ende
that
the
more
worthily
we
may
take
and
receyue
the
lombe
of
lyf
Amen
¶
Thus
endeth
the
misterye
of
the
quadragesme
¶
The
ymbre
dayes
THe
fastyng
of
the
quatee
temps
callyd
in
englyssh
ymbre
dayes
/
the
pope
Calixte
ordeyned
theym
/
And
this
faste
is
kept
iiij
tymes
in
the
yere
/
and
for
dyuerse
reasons
/
For
the
first
tyme
whiche
is
in
marche
/
is
hote
and
moyste
The
second
in
somer
/
is
hote
and
drye
The
thirde
in
heruest
/
is
cold
/
&
drye
The
fourthe
in
wynter
/
is
cold
&
moyste
/
Thenne
late
vs
faste
in
marche
/
whiche
is
prymtemps
/
for
to
represse
the
hete
of
the
flessh
boylyng
/
and
to
aquēche
luxurye
or
tattempre
it
/
In
somer
we
ought
to
faste
/
to
th
ende
that
we
chastyse
the
brennyng
and
ardour
of
auarice
In
haruest
for
to
represse
the
drought
of
pryde
/
and
in
wynter
for
to
chastyse
the
coldnesse
of
vntrouthe
and
of
malyce
The
second
reason
why
we
faste
iiij
tymes
for
thyse
fastynges
here
begynne
in
marche
in
the
first
weke
of
the
lente
/
to
th
ende
that
vices
wexe
drye
in
vs
/
For
they
may
not
all
be
quenchid
/
Or
by
cause
that
we
caste
them
away
/
And
the
bowes
and
herbes
of
vertues
may
growe
in
vs
/
And
in
somer
also
in
the
whitson
weke
/
For
thenne
cometh
the
holy
goost
/
And
therfore
we
ought
to
be
feruent
and
esprysed
in
the
loue
of
the
holy
goost
/
They
be
fasted
also
in
Septembre
to fore
mychelmas
/
And
thise
be
the
thirde
fastynges
/
by
cause
that
in
this
tyme
/
the
fruytes
ben
gadred
/
&
we
shold
rendre
to
god
the
fruytes
of
good
werkes
/
In
decembre
they
ben
also
And
they
ben
the
fourth
fastynges
and
in
this
tyme
the
herbes
deyen
/
And
we
ought
to
be
mortefyed
to
the
world
/
The
thirde
reason
is
fore
tensiewe
the
Iewes
/
For
the
Iewes
fasted
foure
tymes
in
the
yere
/
that
is
to
wete
to
fore
ester
/
to
fore
whitsontyde
/
to
fore
the
royalme
of
the
tabernacle
in
the
temple
/
in
septembre
/
And
to
fore
the
dedicacion
of
the
temple
in
decembre
/
The
fourth
reason
is
by
cause
the
man
is
composed
of
iiij
elementis
touchyng
the
body
/
and
of
thre
vertues
or
powers
in
his
sowle
that
is
to
wete
the
vnderstondyng
/
the
wyll
/
&
the
mynde
/
To
this
thenne
that
this
fastyng
may
attempre
in
vs
iiij
tymes
in
the
yere
/
at
eche
tyme
we
faste
thre
dayes
/
to
th
ende
that
the
nombre
of
foure
may
be
reported
to
the
body
/
and
the
nombre
of
thre
to
the
sowle
/
Thise
ben
the
reasons
of
maister
beleth
/
The
v
reason
as
saith
Iohn
damascenus
/
in
marche
and
in
prymtemps
the
blode
groweth
and
augmenteth
&
in
somer
colere
/
In
septembre
melancolye
/
And
in
wynter
flewme
/
thenne
we
faste
in
marche
for
tattempre
and
depresse
the
blode
of
concupiscence
/
disordynate
/
for
sanguyne
of
hys
nature
is
ful
of
flesshly
concupiscence
/
In
somer
we
faste
/
by
cause
that
colere
/
shold
be
lessed
and
refreyned
/
of
whiche
cometh
wrath
/
And
thenne
is
he
ful
naturelly
of
yre
/
In
heruest
we
fast
for
to
refrayne
melancolye
/
the
melancolyous
man
naturelly
is
cold
couetous
and
heuy
/
In
wynter
we
faste
for
to
daunte
and
to
make
feble
the
flewme
of
lyghtnes
and
forgetyng
/
For
suche
is
he
that
is
fleumatyke
/
The
sixte
reason
is
for
the
prymtemps
is
lykened
to
the
ayer
the
somer
to
fyre
the
heruest
to
th
erthe
/
and
the
wynter
to
water
/
Thenne
we
faste
in
marche
to
th
ende
that
the
ayer
of
pryde
be
attemperat
to
vs
/
In
somer
/
the
fyre
of
concupiscence
&
of
auaryce
/
In
septembre
the
erthe
of
coldenesse
and
of
the
derknes
of
Ignorance
/
In
wynter
the
water
of
lightnes
and
Inconstaunce
/
The
vij
reson
is
by
cause
/
that
marche
is
reported
to
Infancye
/
Somer
to
yongthe
/
Septembre
to
stedfast
age
&
vertuous
/
And
wynter
to
auncyente
or
olde
age
/
We
faste
thenne
in
marche
that
we
may
be
in
th
ynfancye
of
Innocencye
/
In
somer
for
to
be
yonge
by
vertu
and
constance
/
In
heruest
that
we
may
be
ripe
by
at
temperaunce
in
wynter
that
we
may
be
auncient
&
old
by
prudence
&
honeste
lyf
/
or
atte
leste
that
we
satysfye
to
god
of
that
whiche
in
thise
iiij
seasons
we
haue
offended
hym
/
The
viij
reson
is
of
maystre
guylliam
dancerre
/
We
fast
saith
he
in
thise
iiij
tymes
of
the
yere
/
to
th
ende
that
we
make
amendes
for
all
that
we
haue
faylled
in
all
thise
iiij
tymes
/
and
they
be
don
in
thre
dayes
eche
tyme
/
to
th
ende
that
we
satisfye
in
one
day
/
that
/
whiche
we
haue
faylled
in
a
moneth
&
that
whiche
is
the
fourth
day
that
is
wednesday
/
is
the
day
in
whiche
our
lord
was
betrayed
of
Iudas
/
&
the
fryday
by
cause
our
lord
was
crucifyed
&
the
saterday
/
by
cause
he
lay
in
the
sepulcre
/
&
thappostles
were
for
of
herte
and
grete
sorowe
/
Thus
endeth
the
ymbre
dayes
THe
Passyon
of
our
lord
was
bytter
for
the
sorowe
that
he
suffred
in
derysions
despituous
/
And
of
many
fylthes
fructuous
/
The
sorowe
was
cause
of
fyue
thynges
The
first
by
cause
it
was
shamefulle
/
for
the
place
of
the
mount
of
caluarye
where
as
malefactours
and
crymynel
persones
were
put
to
execucion
/
And
he
was
there
put
to
deth
right
foull
/
the
crosse
was
the
tormente
of
theues
/
And
yf
the
crosse
was
thenne
of
shame
and
of
vylonye
/
she
is
now
of
glorye
and
of
honour
/
wherof
saith
saynt
Austyn
/
Crux
latronum
qui
erat
supplicium
&c
/
The
crosse
whiche
was
the
Iustice
of
theuys
/
is
now
become
the
sygne
of
glorye
in
the
forhedes
or
frontes
of
emperours
/
And
yf
he
had
suche
honour
at
his
tormente
/
what
dyde
he
to
hys
seruant
/
for
the
shameful
felawshp
that
he
dyde
to
hym
/
for
he
was
sette
with
malefactours
/
but
the
one
of
them
was
conuerted
/
whiche
was
called
dysmas
/
lyke
as
it
is
said
in
the
gospell
of
Nychodemus
And
he
was
on
the
ryght
syde
of
our
lord
/
And
that
other
on
the
lyfte
s●de
was
dampned
whiche
was
callid
gesmas
/
To
that
one
thenne
he
gaf
the
royame
of
heuene
/
and
to
that
other
helle
/
wherof
saith
saynt
Ambrose
/
Auctor
pietatis
in
cruce
&c
/
he
saith
/
the
auctour
of
pyte
hangyng
on
the
crosse
deuyded
offyces
of
p●te
in
scculyer
erandes
/
that
is
to
saye
/
The
persecucion
to
th
apostles
/
peas
to
his
disciples
/
hys
body
to
the
Iewes
hys
spyryte
to
the
fader

to
the
vyrgyne

messages
of
the
weddyng
of
the
souerayn
espouse
/
To
the
theef
peradys
/
To
synners
helle
/
And
to
the
Crysten
penytent
he
comanded
the
crosse
/
Loo
this
is
the
testament
that
Ihesu
cryst
made
hangyng
in
the
crosse
/
Secondly
the
sorow
was
caused
Iniustly
/
For
none
iniquite
was
founde
in
hym
/
And
pryncypally
Iniustly
they
accused
hym
of
thre
thynges
/
The
first
was
/
they
said
/
that
he
deffended
to
paye
the
trewage
/
and
for
he
said
that
he
was
a
kynge
/
and
he
said
hym
to
be
the
sone
of
god
/
¶
And
ayenst
thyse
thre
accusacions
we
saye
on
the
good
fryday
thre
excusacions
in
the
persone
of
Ihesu
crist
/
Whan
we
synge
popule
meus
/
Where
Ihesu
crist
repreued
them
of
thre
benefetes
that
he
dyde
and
gaf
to
them
/
that
is
to
wete
the
delyueraunce
of
them
fro
Egypt
the
sustentacion
and
the
gouernaunce
in
deserte
/
And
the
plantacion
of
the
vigne
in
a
londe
propyce
/
lyke
as
Iesu
cryst
wold
saye
/
thhou
accusest
me
/
by
cause
that
I
deffende
to
paye
thy
trewage
/
And
thou
oughtest
more
to
thanke
me
of
that
I
haue
delyuerd
the
fro
the
trewage
and
fro
the
scruytude
of
pharao
/
and
of
Egypte
/
Thou
accusest
me
/
that
I
calle
my self
kynge
and
thou
oughtest
better
to
yelde
me
thankynges
/
of
that
whiche
I
gouerned
the
in
deserte
with
mete
royalle
/
Thou
accusest
me
of
this
that
I
saye
me
to
be
the
sone
of
god
/
And
thou
oughtest
more
to
thank
me
that
I
haue
chosen
the
to
be
in
my
vygne
yerde
/
and
in
a
ryght
good
place
/
I
haue
planted
them
/
The
thirde
cause
is
/
by
cause
he
was
despyted
&
forsaken
of
his
frendes
/
whiche
semed
a
thyng
more
tollerable
to
be
suffred
of
his
enemyes
/
than
of
them
whom
he
helde
to
be
his
frendes
/
And
alleway
he
suffred
deth
for
his
frendes
/
and
hys
neyghbours
/
that
is
of
them
of
whos
lignage
he
was
born
Thys
said
he
by
the
mouth
of
dauid
/
Amici
mei
&
proximi
&c
.
My
frendes
&
my
neyghbours
haue
approcheed
ayenst
me
and
so

contynued

wherof
said

My
neyghbours
that
knewe
me
as

/
Item
he
suffred
of
them
to
whom
he
had
don
moche
good
lyke
as
saynt
Iohn
recordeth
Iohannis
viij
/
I
haue
wrought
many
good
thynges
to
you
/
&
herto
saith
saynt
bernard
O
good
Ihesu
how
swetely
hast
thou
conuersyd
wyth
men
¶
And
how
grete
thynges
in
the
most
haboundaunt
wyse
hast
thou
graunted
to
them
/
how
hard
&
sharpe
/
thynges
hast
thou
suffred
for
them
/
hard
wordes
/
harder
strokes

betynges
/
&
most
hard
tormentes
of
the
crosse
/
neuertheles
they
rendre
&
yeld
to
the
the
contrarye
The
fourth
cause
is
for
the
tendrenes
of
his
body
/
wherof
dauid
saith
in
figure
of
hym
in
the
second
book
of
kynges
/
he
is
lyke
as
the
most
tendre
worme
of
the
wode
/
wherof
said
saynt
bernard
/
O
ye
Iewes
ye
be
stones
/
but
ye
smyte
a
better
stone
/
wherof
resowneth
the
sowne
of
pyte
/
&
boylleth
the
oyle
of

/
and
saynt
Iherome
saith
/
he
is
delyuerd
to
knyghtes
for
to

beten
/
and
their
betyngis
haue
cruelly
wounded
&
torne
the
most
precyous
body
in
whos
breste
the
godhed
was
hydd
/
The
fyfth
cause
was
by
cause
she
was
generall
for
it
was
ouerall
/
that
is
to
saye
oueral
his
body
/
&
in
all
the
naturell
wyttes
of
his
body
/
And
first
the
sorow
was
in
his
eyen
/
For
he
wept
tendrely
as
saynt
poul
saith
in
his
epistle
ad
hebros
/
twyes
he
ascended
on
heyght
that
he
myght
be

/
he
cryed
strongly
/
by
cause
none
shold
be
excused
/
he
added
therto
wepyng
that
we
shold
haue
compassion

&
to
tendre
our
hertis
/
&
he
had
wepte
to
for
ij
tymes

the

The

Ihu

had

he
herde

for

And
in

foure
thynges
here

Ihu
cryst
had
opprobryes
and
blasphemyes
First
as
to
his
noblesse
wherof
is
said
in
saynt
mathew
caplo
xiij
/
Is
not
this
the
sone
of
the
smyth
said
they
And
we
know
wel
his
moder
called
marye
/
Secondly
as
to
his
power
/
wherof
is
said
also
in
saynt
mathew
/
This
same
casteth
out
the
fendes
of
the
bodyes
in
the
power
of
the
prynce
of
deuellis
/
And
in
an
other
place
of
mathew
the
xxvij
chapitre
he
hath
saued
other
/
and
he
may
not
saue
hym self
/
And
neuertheles
wyth
his
only
voys
he
made
his
persecutours
falle
doun
to
the
erthe
/
whan
he
demaunded
them
in
the
gardyne
whom
seche
ye
/
They
answerd
/
Ihesu
of
nazareth
/
and
whan
he
said
/
I
am
/
they
fyll
doun
to
th
erthe
/
wherof
saith
saynt
austyn
/
One
only
voys
without
ony
darte
smote
a
cruel
companye
ful
of
hate
/
dredfull
by
armes
doun
to
the
ground
and
put
them
aback
/
by
the
vertue
of
the
godhede
hyd
in
hym
/
what
shal
he
doo
whan
he
shal
Iuge
/
hym
that
hath
don
so
that
he
ought
to
be
Iuged
what
shal
he
mowe
dooo
whan
he
shal
regne
/
that
hath
don
this
/
whan
he
shold
deye
/
Thirdly
he
suffrid
obprobryes
as
to
the
veryte
/
whefro
is
sayd
in
saynt
Iohn
/
Thou
bereft
wytnes
of
thy self
/
and
thy
wytnesse
is
not
trewe
/
lo
how
they
said
hym
to
be
a
lyar
/
when
it
is
so
that
he
is
waye
trouthe
/
and
lyf
/
This
verite
&
trouthe
pilate
deserued
not
to
knowe
ne
to
vnderstond
/
For
after
trouthe
he
Iuged
hym
not
/
he
began
his
Iugement
wyth
trouthe
but
he
perseuered
not
/
For
he
made
his
questyon
sayeng
/
what
is
trouthe
/
but
he
abode
not
the
solucyon
/
ne
he
was
not
worthy
to
here
it
/
saynt
austyn
saith
that
he
abode
not
the
solucion
/
by
cause
that
so
sone
as
he
had
made
the
question
/
It
cam
in
his
tought
that
the
custome
was
of
the
Iewes
/
that
one
shold
be
delyuerd
to
them
at
paske
/
And
therfore
he
wente
out
anon
and
abode
not
the
solucion
The
thirde
cause
is
after
seynt
Iohn
crysostome
For
the
question
was
so
grete
and
of
so
grete
difficulte
/
that
he
had
nede
of
longe
tyme
to
aduyse
and
to
discusse
it
/
And
he
laboured
for
the
delyueraunce
of
Ihu
Cryst
/
And
therfore
he
yssued
out
anon
/
Neuertheles
it
is
redde
in
the
gospel
of
nicodemus
that
Ihesu
crist
answerd
/
veritas
de
celo
est
/
And
pilate
saide

&
Ihus
said
to
hym
how
may
be
trouthe
in
erthe
whiche
in
erthe
is
Iuged
of
them
that
haue
power
in
erthe
/
Fourthly
he
suffred
blasphemye
as
to
his
bounte
and
goodnes
/
For
they
said
that
he
was
a
man
synnar
and
deceyuor
in
his
wordes
luce
xij
/
he
hath
moeuyd
the
comyn
peple
with
his
doctrine
in
begynnyng
from
galyle
hether
/
And
hath
broken
the
commandemens
of
the
lawe
/
for
he
kepeth

/
Thirdly
the
sorowe
was
in
smellyng
of
th
ordure
&
fylthe
/
For
he
myght
smell
grete
stenche
on
the

wherof
is
said
in

historia
/
that
Caluarye
is
the
bone
of

all

/
And
by
cause
that
many
were
there
byheded
/
and
many
skulles
of
heedes
were
there
sparteled
all
openly
they
said
that
it

Fourtly

And
with

Fyftly
the

for
in

Secondly

Causes
/
The
first
was
by

they
were
not

The
seconde
was
by
cause
eue
synned
by
spekyng
/
and
Ihesus
wold
make
satisfaction
by
beyng
stylle
&
not
spekyng
/
The
thirde
is
by
cause
/
that
all
that
euer
he
answerd
/
they
peruerted
it
/
Thirdly
Ihesus
was
moqued
in
the
hous
of
pylate
/
For
they
clad
hym
with
a
rede
mantel
/
And
in

And
sette

This

was
of
Ionkes
of

And
we

saye
that
the

sprang
out
of
his

wherof
saith

Caput

They

Fourthly
he

In

I

Thirdly
his

was
proufytable

the
whiche
may

That
is
to

In

Seynt

whiche

Therfor
iiij

First
hym

that

And
the

Ihu

And

he

in

whan

I

Secondly
Ihesu

for

for
by
cause
of
the
tyme
and
of
the
place
/
And
of
the
maner
of
the
tyme
as
it
apperith
For
Adam
was
made
and
synned
in
the
moneth
of
marche
/
and
on
the
fryday
whiche
is
the
vj
day
of

and
therfor
god
in

on

wold
suffre

and
at
at

whiche

Secondly
For
the
place
of
his

the
whiche
myght
be
considerid
in
thre
maners

for

place
/
eyther
it

The

The

The

In

that

where
it

he

beryed
For
ryght
in

place
where
Ihesu
cryst
suffred

/
it
is
said
that
adam
was
buryed
/
how
wel
that
this
is
not
autentyque
/
For
saynt
Iherome
saith
that
adam
was
buryed
in
ebron
/
And
also
in
the
book
of
Iosue
is
wreton
the
xiiij
chapitre
/
In
a

he
was
deceyued
that
is
to

not
in
this
on
whiche
Ih̄s

but
in
an
other

tre
Thyrdly
he
was
right
couenable
by
cause
of
the
curyng
/
the
whiche
by
manere
was
semblable
to
the
preuaricacion
/
by
lyk
and
contrarye
/
For
thus
as
saith
saynt
Austyn
in
the
booke
de
doctrina
cristiana
/
By
a
woman
he
was
deceyued
And
by
a
woman
he
was
born
a
man
/
And
the
man
delyuerd
the
men
/
one
mortal
/
delyuerd
the
mortall
/
and
the
deth
by
his

And
saynt
ambrose
saith
/
Adam

Ihesu

The

by

Adam
in

/
And
Ihesus
in
deserte
/
but
by
the
contrarye
/
¶
For
after
saynt
gregorye
Adam
synned
by
pryde
/
by
mobedience
and
by
gloutonye
/
For
he
coueyted
the

for

of

and
/
desired
and
coueyted
the
swetenes
of
the

by

/
And
by
cause
the
maner
of
the
sauour
ought
to
be
by
the
contrarye
/
therfore
this
manere
was
right
couenable
by

/
for
to
gete
to
hym self
/
that
whiche
herode
so
helde
/
And
so
he
gate
it
/
And
for
this
cause
herode
&
pilate
were
enemyes
vnto
the
tyme
of
the
passion
of
Ihesu
cryst
whom
pilate
sente
to
herode
/
Another
cause
of
enemyte
is
assigned
in
scolastica
historia
/
Ther
was
one
that
sayd
hym self
to
be
god
/
and
had
deceyued
many
of
galylee
/
and
brought
the
peple
in
to
garizain
/
where
he
had
said
/
that
he
wold
goo
vp
to
heuen
/
And
pilate
cam
vpon
them
/
And
whan
he
hath
knowleche
of
the
dede
/
he
slewe
hym
&
all
his
peple
by
cause
he
doubted
that
he
wold
haue
deceyued
them
of
Iudee
/
And
therfore
were
they
enemyes
to
gydre
/
For
herode
regned
in
galylee
/
And
whan
pilate
had
delyuerd
Ihesu
Cryst
to
the
Iewes
for
to
be
crucyfyed
/
he
doubted
th
emperour
/
that
he
shold
be
reproued
of
that
whiche
he
had
Iuged
an
Innocent
/
And
sente
a
frende
of
his
for
texcuse
hym
/
and
in
this
whyle
Tyberius
th
emperour
fyl
in
to
a
greuous
maladye
/
¶
And
it
was
told
to
hym
that
there
was
one
in
Iherusalem
that
cured
al
maner
maladyes
/
¶
And
he
knewe
not
that
pilate
and
the
Iewes
had
slayn
hym
/
he
said
to
volusien
whiche
was
secrete
with
hym
/
Goo
in
to
the
parties
ouer
see
/
And
saye
to
pylate
that
he
sende
to
me
the
leche
or
maistre
in
medecyne
/
for
to
hele
me
of
my
maladye
/
And
whan
he
was
come
to
pylate
/
And
had
said
his
message
/
pylate
was
moche
abasshyd
/
and
demaunded
xiiij
dayes
of
dylacion
/
with
in
whiche
tyme
volusien
fonde
an
old
woman
named
veronica
/
whiche
had
be
famylyer
and
deuoute
with
Ihesu
Cryst
he
demaunded
of
her
/
where
he
myght
fynde
hym
that
he
sought
/
She
thenne
escryed
and
sayd
Alas
lord
god
/
my
lord
/
my
god
was
he
/
that
ye
axe
fore
/
whom
pylate
dampned
to
deth
/
and
whom
the
Iewes
delyuerd
to
pylate
for
enuye
/
&
comaunded
that
he
shold
be
crucyfyed
/
Thenne
he
complayned
hym
soroufully
/
&
sayd
I
am
sory
by
cause
he
may
not
accomplyssh
that
/
whiche
my
lord
th
emperour
hath
charged
me
/
To
whom
veronyce
said
my

whan
he

I
absente

For

by
cause
that
the
figure
of
his

shold
gyue

And
thus
as
I
bare
a

and
demaunded
whyther

and
whan
I
had
told
hym
whyther
I

the
cause
/
he
demaunded
my
keuerchief
/
And
anone
he
enprynted
his
face
and
fygured
it
therin
/
And
yf
thy
lord
had
beholden
the
fygure
of

he
shold
be
anon
guarisshed

And

She

Thenne
wente

said
to
th

The

meruaylled

it
was
told
to

th

Neuertheles

may

But
whan

he
made
hym

Eusebe

say
not

THe
Resurrection
of
our
lord
Ihesu

was
the
third
day
after
his
deth
/
And
of
this
blessyd
resurrectcon
/
seuen
thynges
ben
to
be
consyderid
/
Fyrst
of
the
tyme
that
he
was
in
the
sepulcre
/
that
be
thre
dayes
and
thre
nyghtes
he
was
in
the
sepulcre
/
And
the
thirde
day
he
aroos
Secondly
wherfore
he
aroos
not
anon
whan
he
was
deed
/
but
abode
vnto
the
thirde
day
/
Thirdely
/
how
he
aroos
/
Fourthly
/
wherfor
his
resurrection
taryed
not
vntyl
the
generall
resurrection
/
Fyftly
wherfore
he
aroos
/
Sixtly
how
oftymes
he
appyered
in
his
resurrection
/
And
the
seuenth
/
how
the
holy
faders
whiche
were
enclosed
in
a
partye
of
helle
/
he
delyuerd
/
&
what
he
dyde
&c
/
As
to
the
first
poynt
/
it
ought
to
be
knowen
that
Ih̄us
was
in
the
sepulcre
iij
dayes
&
iij
nyghtes
/
But
after
saynt
austyn
the
first
day
is
taken
by
synodoche
/
that
is
that
the
last
part
of
the
day
is
taken
The
second
day
is
taken
all
hool
/
the
thirde
is
taken
after
the
first
part
of
the
day
/
thus
ther
been
iij
dayes
/
&
euery
day
hath
his
nyght
goyng
byfore

&
after
bede
the
ordre
of

dayes
was
chaunged

the

ordeyned

for

/
the
dayes
wente
byfore
/
&
the
nyghtes
folowed
/
after
the
tyme
of
the
passyon
/
that
ordre
was
chaunged
/
for
the
nyghtes
goon
byfore
&
this
is
by
mysterie
/
For
man
first
ouerthrewe
in
the
day
/
&
fyll
in
to
the
nyght
of
synne
/
And
by
the
passyon
&
resurrection
of
Ihu
cryst
he
can
agayn
fro
the
nyght
of
synne
vnto
the
day
of
grace
As
touchyng
the
second
consideracion
/
it
ought
to
be
knowen
/
that
it
is
accordyng
to
reson
that
anon
after
his
deth
he
ouht
not
to
aryse
/
but
ought
to
abyde
vnto
the
third
day
/
&
that
for
.
v·
reasons
/
the
first
for
the
signyfycacion
/
to
that
/
that
the
lyght
of
his
deth
shold
cure
our
double
deth
/
&
therfore
.j.
day
hool
&
ij
nyghtes
he
laye
in
the
sepulcre
/
that
by
the
day
we
vnderstande
the
light
of
his
deth
/
&
by
the
ij
nyghtes
our
double
deth
/
and
this
reason
assigneth

The
second
for
certayn
probacion
/
For
right
so
as
in
the
mouth
of
tweyne
or
of
thre
is
the
wytnes
establysshyd
/
right
so
in
thre
dayes
is
proued
all
dede
and
fayt
veritable
/
And
to
th
ende
to
preue
that
his
deth
was
veritable
he
wold
lye
therin
thre
dayes
/
The
thirde
/
for
to
shewe
his
puissaunce
/
¶
For
yf
he
had
arysen
anon
/
it
shold
seme
that
he
had
not
suche
myght
/
for
to
gyue
his
lyf
as
he
had
to
reyse
hym
/
And
this
reason
toucheth
th
appostle
ad
Corintheos
xv·
Therfore
is
ther
first
made
mencion
of
his
deth
/
lyke
as
his
deth
was
veryly
shewed
/
so
his
very
resurrection
is
shewed
and
declared
/
¶
Fourthly
for
to
figure
the
restauracion
/
¶
And
this
reason
assigneth
Petrus
rauenensis
/
Iesu
cryst
wold
be
thre
dayes
in
his
sepulcre
/
in
fygure
in
benefete
doyng
/
that
is
to
wete
to
restore
them
that
ben
falle
/
to
repayre
them
that
ben
in
th
erthe
/
And
to
redeme
them
that
were
in
helle
/
The
fyfthe
for
the
representyng
of
treble
estate
of
ryghtful
men
/
And
this
reason
assigneth
seynt
gregorye
vpon
ezechiel
sayeng
/
The
sixth
day
of
the
weke
Ihesus
suffred
deth
/
The
saterday
he
laye
in
the
sepulcre
/
The
sondaye
he
aroos
/
The
present
lyf
is
yet
to
vs
the
sixth
day
For
in
anguisshes
and
sorowes
we
ben
tormented
/
The
saterday
also
is
that
we
rest
vs
in
our
sepulcre
/
For
after
the
deth
we
shal
fynde
the
rest
for
our
soule
/
The
sonday
is
the
eyght
day
/
that
day
we
shal
be
free
of
the
deth
and
of
all
sorowe
in
body
and
in
sowle
in
glorye
/
Thenne
the
sixth
day
is
to
vs
sorowe
/
the
seuenth
reste
/
and
the
eyghte
glorye
/
As
to
the
thirde
consideracion
how
he
aroos
it
appiereth
veryly
that
he
aroos
myghtyly
/
For
by
his
propre
myght
he
aroos
Iohannis
nono
/
Potestatem
habeo
&c
/
I
haue
said
I
haue
power
to
delyuer
my
soule
/
and
I
haue
power
to
resume
it
agayn
/
that
is
to
saye
/
to
deye
whan
I
will
/
●
And
to
ryse
agayn
whan
I
will
/
Secondly
he
aroos
Ioyously
/
For
he
toke
awaye
all
myserye
all
infirmyte
and
all
seruitud
/
wherof
he
saith
in
the
goospell
of
Iohn
/
Iohannis
xxvj
he
said
whan
I
shal
aryse
agayn
I
shal
auaunce
me
and
goo
to
fore
you
in
to
galylee
/
where
ye
shall
see
me
free
and

Thirdly
he

Fourthly
he
aroos
merueylously

For
he
aroos
without

For
lyke
as

And

Thus

Fyftly

Fourthly

Fyftly

And
seynt

that
Ihu

But
whan

bothe
dayly
he
prayd
god

that

¶
And
on
a
tyme
abought

he
made
this
prayer
vnto
god

And
sodanly
the
hous

he
was

was
deuided
in
two

And
a

And
he

Ihu
Cryst
whiche
was
enuyronned
wyth
a

fournays
thise
two

had
grete
delyte

suche
wise

that
he
lefte

but
was
angry

And
Ihus

/
smyte
me
from

forth
I
am
redy
to

for
to

man
/
This
ensample
recyteth
saynt
denys
/
As
to
the
fourth
article
/
wherfore
he
abode
not
vntyl
the
generall
resurrection
/
Thre
reasons
ben
assygned
/
¶
The
first
for
the
dignyte
of
his
body
/
For
he
was
deyfyed
and
cam
fro
the
deyte
/
And
therfore
it
was
no
reson
that
his
body
shold
so
longe
lye
in
th
erthe
/
wherof
dauid
saith
/
Non
dabis
sanctum
tuum
videre
corruptionem
/
Thou
shalt
not
suffre
thyn
holy
body
see
corruption
/
The
second
reason
is
for
the
stedfastnes
of
the
fayth
/
For
yf
he
had
not
thenne
arysen
/
the
faith
had
perisshyd
/
men
wold
not
haue
byleued
that
he
had
be
very
god
And
that
appiereth
wel
For
in
his
passion
sauf
our
lady
/
alle
lost
fayth
/
But
whan
they
had
knowleche
of
his
resurrection
/
they
recouerd
it
agayn
as
saith
seynt
poul
Si
xpristus
non
surrexerit
/
vana
est
fides
nostra
/
yf
Ihesu
Cryst
had
not
rysen
/
our
fayth
had
be
vayn
or
none
/
The
thirde
cause
/
For
th
exemplar
of
our
resurrection
/
Ther
shold
be
but
fewe
/
that
shold
byleue
the
resurrection
to
come
/
yf
Ihesus
Cryst
had
not
rysen
/
And
this
is
our
example
and
our
hope
/
And
therfore
sayen
thappostles
/
Ihesu
Cryst
is
arysen
/
And
we
shal
aryse
/
For
his
resurrection
is
cause
of
oures
/
wherof
saith
saynt
gregorye
/
Our
lord
by
example
hath
shewed
that
he
promysed
in
reward
/
as
that
we
shold
knowe
hym
to
haue
rysen
/
¶
Thus
in
our self
we
shold
haue
hope
of
the
reward
of
his
resurrection
/
And
we
ought
to
knowe
that
Ihesu
Cryste
wold
not
prolonge
his
resurrection
/
aboue
thre
dayes
to
th
ende
that
desperacion
shold
not
be
in
the
world
As
to
the
fyfthe
Article
it
is
wherefore
he
aroos
/
he
aroos
for
foure
thynges
moche
proufytable
to
vs
/
¶
For
his
resurrection
made
the
Iustyficacion
of
our
synnes
/
she
enseyneth
new
lyf
of
maners
she
engendrith
the
hope
of
reward
/
and
ordeyneth
the
resurrection
of
all
/
Of
the
first
saith
saynt
poul
ad
Romanos
/
Ihesu
Cryst
deyed
for
our
synnes
/
and
aroos
for
to
Iustefye
vs
/
¶
Of
the
sec●nde
/
lyke
as
Ihesu
Cryst
aroos
by
the
glorye
of
the
fader
/
whiche
is
a
new
glorious
lyf
/
So
ought
we
in
spyrituell
lyf
take
newe
maners
/
Of
the
thirde
By
his
grete
mercy
god
hath
reysed
vs
in
hope
of
lyfe
by
the
resurrection
of
Ihesu
Cryste
/
¶
Of
the
fourth
it
is
said
to
vs
in
scripture
/
Ihesu
Cryst
aroose
fro
deth
/
For
by
man
/
is
deth
come
to
men
/
And
by
man
/
that
is
Ihesu
Cryste
/
the
lyf
is
come
to
men
/
Thus
ben
they
the
fyrst
of
dede
men
/
Adam
of
them
that
deyde
/
&
Ihu
cryst
of
them
that
ben
a
lyue
by
his
resurrection
/
And
thus
it
appiereth
that
Ihesu
cryst
had
iiij
propretees
in
his
resurrection
/
The
first
is
that
our
resurrection
is
differed
vnto
the
last
resurrection
/
And
Ihesu
cryst
aroos
the
third
day
/
As
saith
the
glose
vpon
this
psalme
Ad
vesperum
demorabitur
fletus
&c
At
euensongetyme
shal
be
wepyng
/
And
on
the
morn
gladnes
and
Ioye
/
The
glose
saith
that
the
resurrection
of
Ihesu
Cryst
is
cause
sufficient
of
the
resurrection
of
sowles
in
this
present
tyme
/
And
of
the
bodyes
in
tyme
to
come
/
The
seconde
proprete
is
that
we
ryse
by
hym
/
And
he
aroos
by
hym self
/
wherof
saith
saynt
ambrose
/
how
myght
he
seke
helpe
to
reyse
his
body
/
whiche
reysed
other
The
thirde
proprete
is
that
we
become
duste
or
asshes
/
And
his
body
myght
not
be
torned
in
to
asshes
/
¶
The
iiij
proprete
is
that
his
resurrection
is
cause
sacramental
of
our
resurrection
/
¶
As
touchyng
the
sixte
article
/
hou
ofte
he
appiered
the
day
of
his
resurrection
/
he
appiered
fyue
tymes
/
¶
First
to

marci

After
his
resurrection
he
appiered
first

And
for
fyue
reasons
he

Non

I

¶
Thirdly
for
to
veryfye
his
word
/
Mathei

Amen
dico
quia

/
¶
To
the
ypocrites
and

sayd

that
comyn
wymen
and
the
publican
shold
goo
to
fore
them

the
kyngdome
of

Fourtly
for
by
cause
/
that
lyke
as
a
woman

messager
of

/
so
a
woman
shold

Fyftely

And
thenne
they
approched

And
that
is
the
figure
of
humble
prayers

to
whom
our

appered

as
wel
for
the
reason
of
the
nature

for
the
reason
of
th
affection
For
they
helde
his
Feet

th
affection

Ihesus

he

For

And
yf
we
shold
not

theuuāgelistes
make
no

it
shold
folowe
that
after

he
appiered
not

that

by
cause
it
apperteyneth
not

to
sette

the

For
yf
the
wordes
of

were
reputed

moche
more
shold
the

by

atte
table
/
and
in
spekyng
one
with
another
sodeynly
they
deyed
/
In
this
manere
somtyme
fnesyng
they
deyed
/
so
that
whan
ony
persone
was
herd
fnesyng
anone
they
that
were
by
said
to
hym
/
god
helpe
you
/
Or
Cryst
helpe
/
and
yet
endureth
the
customme
And
also
whan
he
fneseth
or
gapeth
he
maketh
to
fore
his
face
the
signe
of
the
crosse
and
blessith
hym
/
And
yet
endureth
this
custome
/
And
how
that
pestelence
began
it
is
founde
in
the
lyf
of
saynt
gregorye
/
Secondly
this
letanye
is
said
procession
of
seuen
ordres
/
by
cause
that
whan
they
were
made
/
seynt
gregorye
ordeyned
them
by
vij
ordynances
/
For
in
the
first
ordre
was
all
the
clergye
/
in
the
second
were
the
monkes
and
relygyous
men
/
In
the
thirde
were
alle
the
nonnes
/
In
the
fourth
alle
the
children
/
In
the
fyfthe
all
the
laye
peple
/
In
the
sixthe
alle
the
wydowes
And
in
the
vij
alle
they
that
were
maryed
/
But
by
cause
that
nowe
we
may
not
fulfylle
in
nombre
of
personnes
/
we
ought
to
fulfylle
it
in
nombre
of
letanyes
For
it
ought
to
be
said
vij
tymes
/
or
the
procession
be
left
/
Thirdly
this
letanye
is
said
the
black
crosse
/
For
thenne
in
signe
of
pestylence
/
of
wepyng
and
of
penaunce
/
they
cladde
them
wyth
black
clothes
/
And
parauenture
for
that
same
cause
/
they
couerd
the
crosse
and
the
aulters
wyth
blessyd
hayres
/
And
thus
we
shold
take
on
vs
clothyng
of
penaunce
Ther
is
an
other
letanye
/
whiche
is
called
the
lasse
letanye
/
the
whiche
is
made
the
thre
dayes
tofore
th
ascēcion
/
And
this
Instituted
seynt
Mamertyn
bisshop
of
vyane
/
in
the
tyme
of
th
emperour
lyon
whiche
regned
the
yere
of
our
lord
iijClviij
/
to
fore
the
Institucion
of
the
first
/
And
is
said
the
letanye
the
lasse
/
the
rogacions
and
processions
/
For
it
is
The
lasse
letanye
to
the
difference
of
the
first
/
by
cause
that
this
lasse
letanye
was
Institued
of
a
lasse
whiche
was
a
symple
bisshop
/
in
a
lasse
place
/
and
for
lasse
maladye
/
And
the
cause
of
the
institucion
was
this
/
For
thenne
at
vyane
were
grete
erthe
quaues
/
of
whiche
fyl
doun
many
chirches
and
many
houses
/
and
ther
was
herde
grete
sownes
and
grete
clamours
by
nyght
/
And
thenne
happed
a
terrible
thyng
on
ester
day
/
For
fyre
descended
fro
heuen
that
brente
the
kynges
palays
/
yet
happed
more
merueyllous
thyng
/
For
lyke
as
the
fendes
had
entred
in
to
the
hogges
/
right
so
by
the
suffraunce
of
god
for
the
synnes
of
the
peple
/
the
fendes
entred
in
to
wulues
and
other
wylde
bestes
/
whiche
euerych
doubted
/
and
they
wente
not
only
by
the
wayes
ne
by
the
feldes
/
but
also
by
the
cytees
ronnen
openly
/
And
deuoure
den
the
chyldren
&
olde
men
and
wymen
And
whan
the
bisshop
sawe
that
euery
day
happed
suche
sorouful
aduentures
/
he
commanded
and
ordeyned
/
that
the
peple
shold
faste
thre
dayes
/
And
he
instituted
the
letanyes
/
and
thenne
the
tribulacion
ceassed
/
And
fro
than
forth
on
the
chirche
hath
ordeyned
&
confermed
that
this
letanye
shold
be
kept
and
obserued
ouer
all
/
It
is
said
also
Rogacions
/
For
thenne
we
praye
and
demaunde
the
suffrages
of
alle
the
sayntes
/
and
we
thus
haue
good
cause
for
to
kepe
this
ordenaunce
/
and
faste
in
thise
dayes
/
And
for
many
reasons
it
is
institued
/
Fyrst
by
cause
it
appeaseth
the
bataylles
/
that
comynly
begynne
in
prymtemps
/
Secondly
by
cause
that
the
fruytes
whiche
be
thenne
tendre
/
that
god
will
multeplye
/
Thirdly
by
cause
that
euery
man
shold
mortefye
in
hym self
the
moeuynges
of
hys
flessh
/
whiche
in
that
tyme
boylle
/
Fourtly
by
cause
that
euerich
dispose
hym self
to
receyue
the
holy
goost
/
For
by
fastynges
/
by
orysons
/
and
by
deuocion
/
is
one
more
able
and
more
worthy
/
But
two
other
reasons
assigneth
maistre
willm
dancerre
/
by
cause
than
whan
Ihu
cryst
wold
ascende
vnto
heuen
/
he
sayde
/
Aske
ye
duely
and
ye
shal
haue
/
And
we
may
the
more
faithfully
demaunde
/
whan
we
haue
the
promesse
of
god
/
Secondly
by
cause
the
holy
chirche
fasteth
&
prayeth
/
that
she
haue
but
lytil
flessh
/
that
is
to
make
the
body
lene
by
abstynence
/
and
to
gete
wynges
by
prayer
/
For
prayer
is
the
wynge
of
the
sowle
/
by
whiche
she
fleeth
to
heuen
/
to
th
ende
that
she
may
folowe
Ihu
cryste
ascendyng
vp
to
fore
vs
to
shewe
vs
the
waye
/
And
knowe
ye
that
the
foule
that
haboundeth
in
plente
of
flessh
/
and
hath
but
fewe
pennes
or
fethers
/
he
may
not
wel
flee
/
Thus
this
letanye
is
called
procession
/
For
thenne
the
chirche
maketh
generall
procession
/
And
in
this
procession
the
crosse
is
born
/
the
clockes
and
belles
ben
sowned
and
rongen
/
the
ba
/
ners
ben
born
/
And
in
somme
chirche
a
dragon
with
a
grete
taylle
is
born
/
And
ayde
and
helpe
is
demaunded
of
alle
seyntes
/
¶
And
the
cause
why
the
crosse
is
born
and
the
belles
rongen
/
is
for
to
make
the
fendes
and
euyll
spyrites
aferd
and
to
flee
/
For
lyke
as
the
kynges
haue
in
bataylles
tokenes
and
signes
royall
/
as
her
trompes
and
baners
right
so
the
kynge
of
heuen
perdurable
hath
hys
signes
mylytaunt
in
the
chirche
he
hath
belles
for
busynes
and
for
trompes
he
hath
the
crosse
for
baners
/
And
lyke
as
a
tyraunt
and
a
malefactour
shold
moche
doubte
/
whan
he
shal
here
the
busynes
and
trompes
of
a
myghty
kynge
in
his
lande
and
shal
see
his
baners
/
In
lyke
wyse
the
enemyes
the
euyll
spyrites
that
ben
in
the
region
of
thayer
/
doubte
moche
whan
they
here
the
trompes
of
god
whiche
ben
the
belles
rongen
/
And
whan
they
see
the
baners
born
on
hye
/
And
this
is
the
cause
why
the
belles
be
rongen
whan
it
thondreth
/
and
whan
grete
tempestes
and
oultrages
of
wether
happen
/
to
th
ende
that
the
fendes
and
wicked
spyrites
shold
be
abasshed
and
flee
/
and
ceasse
of
the
moeuyng
of
tempest
/
how
be
it
also
/
that
ther
is
another
cause
ther
with
/
that
is
for
to
warne
the
crysten
peple
/
that
they
put
them
in
deuocion
and
in
prayer
for
to
praye
god
that
the
tempest
may
ceasse
/
Ther
is
also
the
baner
of
the
kynge
/
that
is
the
crosse
/
whiche
the
enemyes
dred
moche
and
doubte
/
For
they
drede
the
staf
/
with
whiche
they
haue
ben
hurte
/
And
this
is
the
reason
wherfore
in
somme
chirche
/
in
the
tyme
of
tempest
and
of
thondre
/
they
sette
out
the
crosse
ayenst
the
tempest
/
to
th
ende
that
the
wycked
spyrites
see
the
baner
of
the
souerayn
kynge
/
&
for
drede
therof
that
they
flee
/
And
therfore
in
procession
the
crosse
is
born
/
And
the
belles
rongen
for
to
chace
and
hunde
away
the
fendes
beyng
in
thayer
/
and
to
th
ende
that
they
leue
to
tempest
vs
/
The
crosse
is
born
for
to
represente
the
victorye
of
the
resurrection
and
of
th
ascencion
of
ihesu
cryste
/
For
he
ascended
in
to
heuen
wyth
all
a
grete
praye
And
thus
this
baner
that
fleeth
in
the
ayer
signefyeth
Ihesu
cryste
assendyng
vnto
heuene
/
And
as
the
peple
folowe
the
crosse
/
the
baners
and
the
procession
Ryght
so
whan
Ihesu
Cryste
styed
vp
in
to
heuen
/
a
grete
multitude
of
seyntis
folowed
hym
/
And
the
songe
that
is
songen
in
the
procession
/
signefyeth
the
songe
of
angellis
and
the
preysynges
/
that
cam
ayenst
Ihesu
cryste
/
and
conduyted
and
conueyed
hym
to
heuene
where
is
grete
Ioye
and
melodye
In
som
chirches
and
in
especiall
in
them
of
fraunce
is
accustomed
to
bere
a
dragon
with
a
longe
taylle
fylled
ful
of
chaff
or
other
thynge
The
two
first
dayes
it
is
born
to
fore
the
crosse
/
And
on
the
thirde
day
/
they
bere
it
after
the
crosse
with
the
taylle
all
voyde
/
by
whiche
is
vnderstonden
/
that
the
first
day
to
fore
the
lawe
/
or
the
seconde
vnder
the
lawe
/
the
deuyl
regned
in
the
world
/
And
on
the
thirde
day
of
grace
by
the
passyon
of
Ihesu
cryste
he
was
put
out
of
his
Royame
/
After
in
this
procession
singulerly
we
calle
the
suffrages
of
alle
the
sayntes
/
And
why
we
calle
to
the
sayntes
/
dyuerse
reasons
ben
assigned
here
to fore
/
But
yet
ther
be
of
the
generall
wherfore
we
praye
the
sayntes
/
Fyrst
for
our
pouerte
/
and
for
the
glorye
of
sayntes
/
and
for
the
reuerence
of
god
/
For
the
sayntes
may
well
knowe
the
vowes
and
the
prayers
of
the
supplyauntes
/
For
in
the
myrrour
perpetuel
that
is
Ihesu
cryste
/
they
vnderstonde
how
moche
it
apperteyneth
to
theyr
Ioye
and
to
our
prouffyt
/
Thenne
the
first
reason
is
for
our
pouerte
/
and
for
our
myserye
/
or
for
our
defaute
/
we
haue
somme
merite
to
th
ende
that
where
our
merites
be
not
suffycient
/
the
suffrages
of
sayntes
may
auaylle
vs
/
or
for
deffaute
that
we
haue
in
contemplacion
of
god
/
And
that
we
may
see
parfyghtly
the
lyght
souerayn
that
we
see
and
beholde
in
his
sayntes
/
or
for
the
deffaulte
that
we
haue
in
louyng
god
/
For
we
see
that
some
shewe
more
gretter
affection
to
a
saynt
/
than
they
doo
to
god
/
And
suche
peple
be
in
perfyght
/
The
second
reason
is
for
the
glorye
of
sayntes
/
For
god
wyll
that
we
call
the
sayntes
/
by
cause
that
by
their
suffrages
that
we
requyre
/
we
gloryfye
them
/
&
the
more
gretly
we
preyse
them
The
thirde
reason
is
for
the
reuerence
of
god
/
to
th
ende
that
the
synners
that
haue
offended
god
/
the
which
dar
not
approche
to
god
in
theyr
persones
/
they
approche
hym
by
the
frendes
of
god
in
demandyng
their
suffrages
/
And
in
thyes
letanyes
/
we
ought
to
repete
this
songe
of
angellis
/
Scen
deus
/
Scen
fortis
/
Scen
et
inmortalis
miserere
nobis
/
Item
Iohn
damascene
recordeth
in
his
fourth
book
/
that
in
Constantynoble
for
a
trybylacion
that
happed
there
/
there
were
letanyes
made
/
it
happed
that
a
chyld
amydde
the
peple
was
rauysshed
to
heuen
&
this
cantycle
he
lerned
there
/
And
after
thenne
he
retorned
to
the
people
/
And
in
the
mydde
of
the
peple
he
songe
it
/
And
anon
that
tribulacion
ceassed
/
and
after
at
the
Ceene
of
Calcidone
/
this
cantycle
was
approuued
/
&
the
cause
concluded
/
we
knowe
that
it
is
so
that
the
fendes
ben
put
out
by
thys
cantycle
/
Sancte
deus
/
Of
this
cantycle
and
praysyng
the
auctorite
is
approued
by
iiij
reasons
/
Fyrst
by
cause
that
an
angele
taught
it
first
/
Secondly
by
cause
at
the
prolacion
and
repeticion
of
this
cantycle
/
that
tribulacion
ceassed
/
Thyrdly
by
cause
that
the
sene
of
Calcydone
approuued
it
/
And
fourtly
by
cause
that
the
fendes
and
enemyes
so
moche
drede
and
doubte
it
/
¶
Thus
enden
the
Letanyes

more
and
the
lasse
¶
Here
begynneth
next
the
Ascencion
of
our
lorde
Th
ascencion
of
our
lord
Ihesu
cryst
was
the
fourty
day
after
his
resurrection
/
for
whiche
to
declare
/
vij
thynges
ben
to
be
consydered
Fyrst
thenne
he
ascended
/
Secondly
/
why
he
ascended
anon
after
his
resurrection
/
Thyrdly
how
he
ascended
/
Fourthly
what
companye
ascended
with
hym
/
Fyftly
by
what
meryte
he
ascended
/
Syxtly
where
he
ascended
/
&
seuenthly
werfore
he
ascended
As
to
the
first
/
he
ascended
fro

by

the
whiche
montayne

after
another

For

it
is
lyghted
of

fyre
that
brenneth
in
the
temple

which
neuer

On

for
she

in

and
also
it
hath
grete
haboundaunce
of
oylle
that
nourissheth
the
lyght

&
therfor
it
is
said
the
hylle
of

vnto
this
hylle
Ihu
crist
commanded

Alle

Of

saith
supplicius
bisshop
of

For

As

werfor
he

not

after

that
was

Fyrst
for

certificacion
of

And
more
stronge
it
was
to

his

for
fro

vnto
the

/
the
passyon
myght
be

but
to
preue
the

it
required
moo
dayes

&
therfor
a
gretter
tyme
was
requyred
bytwene
the

&
th
ascencion
/
than
bytwene
the
passyon
&
resurrection
And
herof
saith
lyon
the
pope
in
a
sermon
of
th
ascention
/
This
day
the
nombre
of
xl
dayes
is
complete
/
&
dispensed
by
right
holy
ordenaunce
/
&
to
the
prouffyt
of
our

&
techyng
/
to
th
ende
that
in
the
space
of
his
presence
corporell
/
the
faith
of
techyng
was
necessarye
/
&
we
ought
to
gyue
thankynges
to
the
dyuyne
dyspensacion
/
for
the
tardyue
creaunce
of
holy
fadres
to
vs
necessarye
/
for
they
doubted
of
that
/
which
we
doubte
not
/
Secondly
he
abode
for
the
consolacion
of
thappostles
/
For
the
consolacion
dyuyne
surmounte
the
tribulacions
temperall
/
And
the
tyme
of
the
passyon
was
the
tyme
of
trybulacyon
to
thappostles
/
And
therfor
ther
ought
to
be
moo
dayes
vnto
th
ascencion
/
than
to
the
resurrection
/
Thyrdly
for
the
mysterye
of
the
comparacion
/
for
to
gyue
to
vnderstonde
/
that
the
consolacions
dyuyne
ben
compared
to
trybulacions
as
the
day
vnto
an
hour
/
and
the
yere
vnto
a

/
¶
And
that
this
be
trew
it
appereth
by
the
wrytyng
/
of
the
prophete
ysaye
/
¶
I
shal
preche
a

to
our

/
and
a

to

/
¶
Loo
for
one
day
of
trybulacion
/
he
rendrith
a
yere
of
consolacion
/
And
that
is
by
comparison
as
the
day
to
an
hour
it
appiereth
by
that
/
that
our
lord
was
deed
and
laye
in
the
sepulcre
xl
houres
/
whiche
was
the
tyme
of
trybulacion
/
And
by
xl
dayes
after
his
resurrection
he
appiered
to
his
disciples
/
Whiche
was
the
tyme
of
consolacion
/
And
this
saith
the
glose
/
by
cause
that
he
was
fourty
houres
deed
/
After
he
was
xl
dayes
lyuyng
er
he
ascended
in
to
heuen
/
As
to
the
thirde
poynt
/
how
he
ascended
it
appierith
how
that
he
ascendeth
myghtyly
/
For
by
hys
puyssaunce
and
vertue
saith
Ysaye
/
he
ascended
in
to
heuen
/
Ysaye
lxvij
/
And
also
Saynt
Iohan
saith
/
Noman
ascended
in
to
heuen
by
his
oune
puissaunce
and
myght
/
but
the
sone
of
man
that
is
in
heuene
/
And
how
be
it
that
he
ascended
in
a
clowde
/
he
had
no
ne
ned
/
but
by
cause
that
he
wold
shewe
that
euery
creature
is
redy
to
serue
his
creatour
/
he
ascended
in
his
propre
vertue
/
and
in
this
is
the
difference
/
After
that
scolastica
historia
saith
/
of
Ihesu
crist
/
of
Enoch
and
helye
/
For
Enoch
was
translated
/
helye
was
born
but
Ihesu
cryst
by
his
owen
myght
is
ascended
in
to
heuen
after
saynt
gregorye
/
The
first
that
is
to
wyte
Enoch
was
engendred
of
a
man
/
And
he
was
engendryng
/
The
seconde
that
is
to
saye
Helye
was
engendred
/
&
not
engendryng
The
thirde
that
is
to
wyte
Ihesu
Cryst
he
was
born
/
not
engendryd
of
a
man
ne
engendryng
/
Secondly
he
ascended
openly
/
For
seeyng
his
disciples
he
ascended
wherof
is
said
Iohis
xvj
/
Vado

I

so
openly
/
that
noman
demanded

that
they
sawe

/
And
therfore
he
wold
ascende
in

by
cause
they
myght

/
And
that
they
shold

ascende
to

/
and
that
they
shold
desire

hym
/
Thyrdly
he
ascended
Ioyously
/
For
the
aungellis
syngyng
and
enioyeng
he
ascended
in

in

wherof

Fourthly

Saynt
denys
in

in

Thus
semeth
it
that
he
said
/
that
thre
questions
were
made
to
th
angellis
whan
that
Ihesus
ascended
/
The
first
were
the
firste
to
them self
/
The
second
were
the
pryncipalis
to
Ihesu
Cryst
/
that
ascended
/
The
thirde
were
the
lasse
to
the
grettest
/
Of
whiche
they
demaunded
emong
them
who
is
this
that
cometh
fro
Edom
/
his
clothis
dyed
of
bosra
/
This
worde
Edom
is
as
moche
to

as
ful
of

/
&
this
word
bosra
is
to
saye
anguisshe
and
tribulacion

Thus
as
they
wold
haue
said
/
who
is
this
that
cometh
fro
the
world
ful
of
blode
/
by
the
synne
of
the
world
/
and
of
malyce
ayenst
god
/
And
our
lord
answerd
I
am
he
that
speketh
in
Iustice
/
¶
And
saynt
denys
saith
thus
/
that
he
said
/
I
am
he
that
disputeth
Iustice
and
rightwisnes
of

in
the
redempcion
of

he
was
Iustice
in
as
moche
as
he
that
was
creatour
brought
agayn
his

/
fro
the
straunge
Iurisdiction
/
And
he
was
rightwisnes
in
as
moche
as
the
enemye
whiche
had
assaylled
vs
/
he
put
&
cast
out
of
the
domynacion
that
he
had
in
thumayne
lignage
/
And
after
this
/
maketh
saynt
denys
a
question
/
Syth
the
pryncypal
angellis
ben
nyghe
to
god
/
and
ben
without
moyen
enlu
/
myned
of
god
/
wherfore
demaunded
they
the
one
of
the
other
/
lyke
as
that
they
wold
haue
lerned
eche
of
other
/
but
he
saith
that
gyueth
this
solucion
/
that
in
that
they
demāunde
eche
of
other
/
it
sheweth
that
they
desire
to
knowe
/
And
in
that
first
emonge
them
they
had
collacion
/
it
sheweth
that
they
durste
not
auaunce
them
to
fore
the
dyuyne
progression
/
And
for
this
first
they
ought
to
axe
echeone
other
/
by
cause
that
paraduenture
their
interrogacion
were
not
ouer
hasty
vpon
the
illuminacion
that
they
had
receyued
of
god
without
moyen
/
The
second
question
is
/
And
that
was
the
first
and
souerayn
aungele
sayeng
to
Ihesu
Cryst
/
Why
is
thy
clothyng
rede
and
thy
vestymentis
as
troden
or
fulled
in
a
presse
/
Our
lord
hath
his
clothyng
and
his
body
rede
all
couerd
with
blood
by
cause
that
yet
whan
he
ascended
/
he
had
his
woundee
in
his
body
/
after
this
that
bede
saith
/
he
must
kepe
his
woundes
in
his
body
/
for
v
reasons
/
and
he
said
thus
Our
lord
kepeth
his
woundes
/
And
to
the
day
of
Iugement
he
shal
kepe
them
/
to
th
ende
that
it
conferme
his
resurrection
/
And
for
to
praye
the
fader
for
vs
/
he
presenteth
them
/
to
th
ende
that
the
goode
see
the
grete
merci
/
by
whiche
he
hath
redemed
them
/
¶
And
that
the
wycked
peple
may
knowe
/
that
rightwisly
they
be
dampned
/
And
that
eternelly
/
he
bere
with
hym
the
signes
of
his
gloriouse
victory
perpetuell
/
And
to
this
question
answereth
our
lord
/
Torcular
calcaui
&c
/
The
presse
I
haue
torned
&
fowled
all
allone
/
And
of
all
men
ther
was
not
one
that
wold
helpe
me
/
the
presse
is
the
crosse
/
in
the
whiche
he
was
pressid
in
suche
wyse
that
the
blood
sprange
out
/
¶
Thus
Ihesu
cryst
called
the
enemye
the
pressour
/
whiche
that
thus
had
wrapped
thumayne
lygnage
with
cordes
of
synne
/
and
quenchid
hym
so
clene
/
that
he
had
nothyng
spirituel
/
but
that
it
was
without
expressyd
/
And
only
he
shewd
it
in
the
vyrgyne
marye
/
but
our
champion
fought
so
strongly
/
And
defowled
the
pressour
so
foule
/
that
he
brake
the
boundes
of
synne
/
And
ascended
into
heuen
/
And
after
this
h●
opened
the
tauerne
of
heuen
and
poured
out
the
wyne
of
the
hooly
goost
/
The
thirde
question
/
is
the
which●
the
lasse

made
to
the
gretter
&
more
in

/
who
is
this
kynge
of

They
answerd
and
sayde
/
The
lord
of

he
is
kynge
of

/
And
of
this
question
of
th
angellis
and
of

/
saith

Al

And
demaunded

And
they

this
is

As
to
the
fyfte
/
it
is
for
what

he
ascended

And
we
ought
to
vnderstonde
that
he
ascended

wherof

Ihesu

As

Syth
that

he

Now

Of

Of

Of

/
Of

it

for
as
it
is
wreton

he
ascended
aboue
Seraphin

whiche
is
interpreted

And
we
ought
to

that
of
his

we
haue
nyne
fruytes
prouffytable

Tle
fyrst
is
t
habytacion
of
the

wherof
is
said

The

The

Saynt

The

approwued

iiij
reasons

for
he

without

he
leueth

he

in

that
the

he

he

Semblably
the

For
in
that

Secondly
the

remuneracion
is
in

wherof

Thirdly
of

Therfore

And

And

In

After

The

The

And

As

Saynt

the

ghoost
was
hoped
of
thappostles

not
for
them
fyrste
he
had
enhabited
in
them

but
by
cause
that
the
hertes
to

more
shold

by

For
hys
largesse
passed
all

As
to
the
fyfthe

that
is
to

how
he

it
is

wyth

the
whiche

And
the
sowne
was
sodeyn

It
was

For
he

Fo●
he
fulfyled
all
thappostles
as
saith
saynt

/
Repleti
sunt
omnes

/
And
it
is
to
wete
that
ther
ben
iij
signes
of
replenyssyng
that
were
in
thappostles
/
The
first
is
that
the
place
where
he
is
yeueth
no
sowne
/
lyke
a
tonne
of
wyn
that
is
full
/
to
this
purpoos
spekyth
Iob
/
Shal

oxe
crye

whan

The
oxe
shall
not

shal

/
lyke
as
he
wold
saye
/
Whan
the
herte
is
ful
of
grace
/
hym
ought
not
grudche
by
impacience
/
This
signe
had
thappostles
/
For
in
the
tribulacion
that
they
had
/
they
resowned
not
ne
grudched
by
Impacience
/
but
Ioyously
wente
to
the
presence
of
the
tyrauntes
to
pryson
and
to
tormentes
/
The
seconde
signe
is
that
he
may
receyue
nomore
/
ellis
he
were
not
full
/
In
this
maner
he
that
is
all
fylled
demandeth
nomore
/
In
lyke
wyse
the
sayntes
that
haue
plenytude
of
grace
/
may
receyue
none
other
licour
of
erthely
delectacion
/
¶
And
by
cause
they
haue
tasted
the
swetnes
of
heuen
they
haue
none
appetyte
to
the
erthely
delectacions
/
wherof
saith
saynt
Austyn
/
who
so
drynketh
one
drope
of
delyces
of
paradys
/
the
whiche
one
drope
is
gretter
/
than
all
the
see
occean
/
whiche
ought
to
be
vnderstonde
/
that
all
the
thurst
of
this
world
is
in
hym
extyncte
/
And
this
signe
had
thappostles
/
whiche
wold
haue
none
of
the
goodes
of
this
world
in
propre
/
but
put
it
all
in
comyn
The
thirde
signe
/
is
for
to
renne
ouer
out
/
as
it
appierith
by
a
Ryuer
whiche
aryseth
and
renneth
ouer
his
bankes
/
As
salamon
saith
/
whiche
fyllyth
as
phison
wysedom
/
This
flode
or
ryuer
phison
/
of
his
nature
ariseth
and
spryngeth
ouer
/
and
watreth
and
arrouseth
the
bonde
aboute
hym
/
In
lyke
wyse
thappostles
began
to
sprede
abrode
/
For
after
they
had
receyued
the
holy
ghoost
they
began
to
speke
dyuerse
langages
/
where
the
glose
saith
/
that
/
that
was
the
signe
of
plenytude
/
For
the
vessell
full
shedeth
ouer
/
as
it
appiereth
of
saynt
Peter
/
For
anone
as
he
began
to
preche
he
●●nuerted
thre
thousand
/
Secondly
he
was
sente
in
tongues
of
fyre
/
And
here
be
thre
thynges
to
be
considered
/
First
for
whom
he
was
sente
conioynctly
in
the
tongues
of
fyre
/
Secondly
wherfore
he
was
sente
in
tongues
of
fyre
more
than
in
another
element
/
¶
Thirdly
wherfor
he
was
sente
in
tongues
more
/
than
in
another
membre
/
As
to
the
first
/
for
thre
reasons
he
was
sent
and
appiered
in
tongues
of
fyre
/
to
th
ende
that
their
wordes
shold
enflamme
the
hertes
/
Secondly
that
they
shold
preche
the
fyry
lawe
of
god
/
Thirdly
that
they
shold
knowe
that
the
holy
ghoost
whiche
is
fyre
spack
in
them
/
And
that
they
shold
doubte
nothyng
/
And
by
cause
alle
men
shold
here
the
wordes
of
god
/
And
they
shold
attrybue
ne
take
to
them self
that
they
conuerted
by
theyr
predicacion
/
but
by
the
wordes
of
god
/
¶
Of
the
second
we
ought
to
knowe
that
he
was
sent
in
lyknes
of
fyre
for
many
reasons
/
The
first
is
taken
after
the
seuen
vertues
of
grace
/
The
holy
ghoost
cam
in
the
maner
of
fyre
for
to
make
meke
hyghe
thynges
by
the
yefte
of
drede
/
he
amolyfyeth
and
softeth
hard
thynges
by
the
yefte
of
pyte
he
illumyneth
hard
thynges
by
the
yefte
of
science
/
he
restrayneth
the
flodes
of
vices
by
the
yefte
of
counseyl
/
he
affermeth
and
consolideth
softe
thynges
by
the
yefte
of
str●ngthe
/
he
clereth
the
ruste
of
synne
by
the
yefte
of
vnderstandyng
/
he
draweth
vp
the
creatures
by
the
yeft
of
sapience
/
The
second
reason
is
taken
after
his
dignyte
and
excellence
/
the
fyre
surmounteth
and
excedeth
all
other
elementes
in
beaute
/
in
ordre
/
and
in
vertue
/
In
beaute
by
cause
of
the
fayrnes
of
lyght
/
In
ordre
by
cause
of
his
situacion
/
In
vertu
/
by
cause
of
vigour
in
operacion
/
In
lyke
wyse
the
holy
ghoost
in
thyse
iij
thynges
excedeth
all
For
the
first
he
is
said
the
holy
ghoost
pure
without
fylthe
/
For
the
second
/
holy
ghoost
whiche
compriseth
all
other
spyrites
of
vnderstondyng
/
by
his
incomprehensibilite
/
For
the
thirde
he
is
said
holy
goost
hauyng
alle
vertue
for
he
is
Invyncyble
For
he
hath
all
strength
seeyng
all
thynges
fro
ferre
/
The
third
reason
is
taken
as
to
hys
manyfold
effecte
And
this
reason
assigneth
Rabanus
sayeng
that
the
fyre
hath
iiij
vertues
or
natures
/
It
brenneth
/
it
purgeth
/
it
chauffeth
/
and
it
lighteth
/
In
lyke
wyse
the
holy
ghoost
brenneth
the
synnes
/
he
purgeth
the
hertes
/
he
casteth
away
alle
coldnes
and
drede
of
the
hertes
/
And
he
enlumyneth
theym
that
ben
ignoraunt
Of
the
first
saith
zacharye
the
prophete
/
He
broyleth
and
brenneth
the
h●rtes
/
as
the
fyre
brenneth
the
syluer
/
Also
dauid
sayd
/
Lord
I
praye
the
brenne
my
reynes
and
my
herte
/
and
drye
them
fro
all
synne
/
he
purgeth
also
the
hertes
/
after
that
as
saith
ysaye
/
Whan
our
lord
had
wasshe
away
the
fylthes
of
the
doughters
of
syon
/
&
hath
purged
the
blood
of
Iherusalem
fro
the
myddle
of
hym
/
in
the
spiryte
of
Iugement
/
and
in
the
spyryte
of
brennyng
/
thenne
shal
they
be
in
sauete
and
surete
/
and
kepte
ayenst
all
tempeste
/
And
the
prophete
speketh
of
the
purgacion
that
shall
be
made
atte
laste
/
whan
all
shal
be
purged
pure
&
clene
that
shal
goo
in
to
heuen
/
he
casteth
out
also
all
coldenes
and
pusyllanymyte
of
the
hertes
/
wherof
th
appostle
saith
/
Be
ye
feruent
in
spyryte
/
that
is
of
herte
/
the
whiche
thyng
the
holy
ghoost
maketh
/
whan
he
espriseth
hym
of
hys
loue
And
herof
saith
saynt
gregory
/
The
holy
goost
appyered
in
fire
for
alle
the
hertes
whiche
he
replenessid
/
and
voyded
the
coldnes
of
fere
/
and
enflamed
them
with
desyre
of
the
glorye
perdurable
/
He
enlumyned
also
the
ygnorauntes
/
wherof
sayth
the
wyse
man
/
Lord
god
who
shal
knowe
thy
science
/
yf
thou
gyue
not
thy
sapience
and
sende
to
vs
thyn
holy
spyryte
from
aboue
/
that
is
he
that
all
enseyneth
and
techeth
/
The
fourthe
reason
is
taken
after
the
nature
of
hys
loue
/
Loue
is
sygnefied
by
the
fire
for
iij
causes
/
The
first
cause
is
/
for
the
fire
is
alway
moeuyng
/
So
is
it
of
the
holy
goost
/
For
them
that
he
replenesshith
/
he
maketh
them
to
be
in
contynuel
moeuyng
of
good
operacion
/
wherof
saith
saynt
gregory
/
The
loue
of
god
is
neuer
ydle
/
as
longe
as
it
is
in
the
herte
of
a
deuoute
persone
/
it
fructyfyeth
/
And
it
fructyfyeth
not
/
it
is
a
signe
that
it
is
not
there
The
seconde
is
/
For
the
fyre
emonge
al
the
other
elementis
hath
but
lytle
matere
/
but
stronge
vertue
in
operacion
it
hath
in
his
qualite
/
Thus
the
holy
ghoost
whom
he
replenesseth
maketh
them
to
haue
but
lytle
ne
lot●
erthely
thynges
/
and
gretly
to
spyrituel
thynges
in
so
mochethey
loue
not
worldly
thynges
more
wordly
/
but
spyrytuelly
/
Saynt
bernard
putteth
iiij
maners
of
loue
/
that
is
to
wete
to
loue
the
world
flesshly
/
the
spyrite
flesshly
/
the
flessh
spyrituelly
/
&
the
spyryte
spyrytuelly
/
The
thirde
cause
is
for
that
the
fyre
abassheth
and
meketh
the
thynges
hye
/
he
hath
tendede
on
hye
thynges
despercled
to
vnye
them
/
and
them
despercled
to
beynge
to gydre
/
And
by
thyes
thre
thynges
ben
vnderstonden
thre
ver
/
tues
of
loue
/
For
as
saith
saynt
denys
in
the
book
of

For
he

he

/
he
ordeyneth

And
thyse
thre

For

And
ordeyneth
them

Thyrdly
he
apyered
in
lyknes
of
a
tongue
more
than
in
an nother
membre
/
And
for
iij
reasons
/
The
tongue
is
the
membre
that
is
enflamed
of
the
fyre
of
helle
/
and
is
of
grete
dyffyculte
to
gouerne
/
And
proufytable
whan
it
is
wel
gouerned

And
by
cause
that
the
tongue
was
enflamed
of
the
fyre
of

/
she
hadde
nede
that
the
holy
ghoost

as
saith

/
It
is
the
fyre
of
the

ghoost
/
and
by
cause
it
is
euyl
and
lyghtly
gouerned
/
she
hath
the
more
nede
/
For
after
that
/
that
saynt
Iames
saith
in

/
¶
All

ben
maystryed

ruled

but
the

may
not
be

/
And
by
cause
it
is
a
membre
proufytable
whan
it
is
wel
gouerned
Therfore
he
had
nede
of
the
holy
ghoost
that
shold
gouerne
it
/
he
appiered
also
in
a
tongue
whiche
is

/
To
prechours
he
is
necessarye
For
he
maketh
them
to
speke
feruently
withoute
drede
/
and
therfore
he
was
in
that
lyknes
/
as
saith
saynt
bernard
/
The
holy
ghoost
descended
vpon
the
disciples
in

to
th
ende
that
they
shold
preche

¶
The

also
maketh

hardyly

as
saynt

saith
in

They
were
alle
replenesshyd

and
begonne
to

he
maketh
them
also
to

in
many
maners
/
for
the
grete
and
dyuerse
multytude
of
hierers
/
And
therfore
it
is
said
/
they
began
to
speke
wyth
dyuerse
tongues
/
in
suche
wyse
as
the
holy
ghoost
admynystred
to

/
he
made
them
also
to

prouffytably
to
the
edyfycacyon
of
the

wherof
saith
ysaye
/
The

wherof
he

¶
Thyrdly
the
tongues
appiered
syttyng
/
in
signefyeng
that
he
was
necessarye
to

Iuges
/
For
he
gyueth
auctoryte
for

as
saith
saynt
Iohn

take

the
hooly
ghoost

by
whom
ye

he
yeueth

wherof
saith
ysaye
/
I
shall
put

god
my

/
he
gyueth
also
debonnayrte
and
swetnes
for
to
supporte
and
molyfye
the
Iugement
as
it
is
said
Numeri

I

my
peple
of
my

that
is
in

/
for
to
supporte
the
burthen
of
my

The
spyryte
of
moyses
was
the
spyryte
of
benygnyte
and
of
swetnes
that
was
in
hym
/
for
to
Iuge
the

/
Moyses
was
most
meke
and
most
debonayr
/
and
therfore
god
delyuerd
to
hym
his
peple
for
to

/
The
holy
ghoost
gyueth
also
aournement
of
holynes
for
tenforme
/
as
saith
the
scrypture
/
¶
The
holy
ghoost
hath
aourned
the
heuenes
/
that
ben
the
hertes
wherin
he
descendeth
/
And
as
to
the
sixth
in
to
whom
he
was
sent
in
to
thappostles
/
that
were
vessellis
clene
and
pure
and
disposed
to
receyue
the
holy
ghoost
/
And
that
for
vij
causes
that
were
in
them
/
first
they
were
quyete
and
paysyble
in
herte
/
And
this
segnefieth
that
is
songen
/
Dum

&c
/
The
day
of
the
pentecost
they
were
alle
to
gydre
in
one
place
styl
be
assembled
/
The
day
of
the
pentecost
is
the
day
of
reste
/
after
that
ysaye
saith
/
vpon
whom
shal
my
spyryte
descende
/
but
vpon
an
humble
herte
and
beyng
stylle
/
Secondly
he
was
herde
by
dylection
/
And
this
is
that
the
scrypture
saith
/
Erant
omnes
parit●r
/
They
were
alle
to
gydre
for
they
were
all
of
one
herte
and
of
one
wyll
/
¶
And
thus
the
spyrite
of
man
gyueth
not
lyf
to
the
membres
/
but
that
they
be
to gydre
/
in
lyke
wyse
the
holy
ghoost
gyueth
not
spyrituel
lyf
but
to
the
membres
unied
spyrituelly
/
And
as
the
fyre
quenchith
and
goth
out
whan
the
brondes
ben
taken
away
soo
the
hooly
ghoost
goth
away
whan
the
membres
by
dyscorde
ben
deuyded
/
and
therfore
it
is
songen
of
thappostles
/
that
the
holy
ghoost
fonde
them
all
of
one
accorde
by
loue
and
by
charyte
/
&
enlumined
them
wyth
clernes
shynyng
in
them
of
the
dyuyne
deyte
/
thyrdly
they
were
in
a
secrete
place
/
¶
For
they
were
in
the
place
/
where
Ihesu
cryste
made
with
them
his
maundey
/
or
soupper
/
wherof
is
said
Ozee

/
I
shal
lede
mannes
soule
in
to
a
solytarye
place
/
&
shal
speke
to
it
in

/
¶
Fourthly
they
were
in
oryson
and
prayer
/
contynuell
wherof
is
songen
/
Orantibus
appostolis
deum
venisse
&c
/
whan
they
were
in
prayer
thenne
cam
the
holy
ghoost
vpon
them
whiche
prayer
is
necessarye
/
to
receyue
the
holy
ghoost
/
lyke
as
the
wyse
man
saith
/
I
haue
prayed
god
/
and
the
holy
ghoost
is
comen
in
me
/
wherof
saith
Ihesu
cryst
/
Iohis
xiij
/
I
shal
praye
god
my
fader
/
And
I
shal
sende
to
you
in
my
stede
the
holy
ghoost
that
shall
comforte
you
/
Fyftly
they
were
garnysshyd
with
humylite
and
mekenes
/
And
that
is
/
that
they
were
syttyng
whan
the
holy
ghoost
cam
/
And
herof
saith
dauid
/
lord
god
thou
art
he
that
sendest
the
fontaynes
/
in
to
the
valeyes
/
that
is
the
holy
ghoost
whiche
is
the
fontayne
of
grace
/
whiche
he
sendeth
in
to
the
humble
hertes
/
¶
Syxtly
they
were
in
peas
to gydre
/
in
that
is
to
be
vnderstande
/
that
they
were
in
Iherusalem
/
whiche
is
as
moche
to
saye
/
as
the
vysion
of
pees
/
And
that
pees
is
necessarye
to
receyue
the
holy
ghoost
/
our
lord
shewde
whan
he
cam
to
theym
after
his
resurrection
sayeng
/
Pax
vobis
/
Peas
be
with
you
/
and
after
sayde
/
take
ye
the
hooly
ghoost
/
Seuently
they
were
lyft
vp
in
contemplacion
/
And
this
is
to
vnderstond
that
they
receyued
the
holy
ghoost
in
an
hye
place
/
wherof
saith
the
glose
/
who
that
now
desireth
the
holy
ghoost
in
hys
herte
/
late
hym
put
the
hous
of
his
flessh
vnder
hys
feet
/
by
lyftyng
vp
his
herte
by
contemplacion
/
And
as
to
the
seuenthe
wherfore
he
was
sente
/
it
is
to
be
noted
For
vij
causes
he
was
sent
/
that
ben
vnderstonden
in
this
auctorite
/
Paraclitus
autem
spunssanctus
:
quem
mittet
pater
in
nomine
meo
.
ille
vos
docebit
omnia
/
The
first
cause
is
for
to
conforte
the
soroufull
/
whan
is
said
paraclitus
/
whiche
is
as
moche
to
saye
as
comfortour
/
as
god
saith
by
ysaye
/
The
spiryte
of
god
vpon
me
and
it
foloweth
/
to
th
ende
that
I
shold
comforte
the
wepars
of
Syon
/
that
ben
the
doughters
that
sawe
god
/
wherof
saith
saynt
gregore
/
The
holy
ghoost
is
said
comfortour
/
to
them
that
he
fyndeth
wayllyng
for
theyr
synnes
that
they
haue
commysed
/
he
maketh
redy
hope
of
pardon
in
lyftyng
theyr
hertes
fro
affliction
of
sorowe
/
¶
The
seconde
is
for
to
quykene
the
dede
whan
he
saith
spiritus
/
for
the
spyrite
is
he
that
quykeneth
/
as
it
is
said
in
ezechiel
/
Ye
bones
that
be
drye
and
without
lyf
I
shal
sende
in
you
my
spyryte
/
&
ye
shal
lyue
/
¶
The
thyrde
cause
is
for
sanctefye
and
make
clene
the
synners
/
in
this
that
he
said
Sanctus
as
it
is
said
spirite
by
cause
he
gyueth
lyf
/
Also
he
saith
Holy
by
cause
he
sanctefyeth
and
maketh
clene
/
and
it
is
said
pure
and
clene
/
therfore
saith
dauid
/
The
grace
of
the
holy
ghoost
whiche
is
aflood
pure
and
clensyng
/
he
gladeth
the
cyte
of
god
/
that
is
holy
chyrche
/
and
by
this
flood
our
lord
hath
sanctefyed
his
tabernacle
/
The
fourthe
cause
is
/
he
is
sente
for
to
conferme
loue
emong
them
that
ben
in
discorde
and
hate
/
whiche
is
noted
in
this
word
Pater
/
he
is
said
fader
/
by
cause
that
naturelly
he
loueth
vs
as
saith
saynt
Iohn
in
the
gospel
/
Iohannis
xiij
/
Ihesu
cryst
saith
my
fader
loueth
you
as
his
sones
/
¶
And
yf
ye
be
hys
sones
thenne
be
ye
brethern
eche
to
other
/
And
bytwene
brethern
ought
alleway
to
perseuere
loue
and
frendship
/
The
fyfte
cause
is
for
to
saue
the
Iuste
and
trewe
men
/
in
this
that
he
saith
In
nomine
meo
/
that
is
Ihesus
/
that
is
to
saye
sauyour
/
In
whos
name
the
fader
to
the
holy
ghoost
to
shewe
that
he
cam
to
saue
the
peple
/
The
syxte
cause
is
for
forme
the
ignorauntes
/
in
this
that
he
saith
/
Ille
vos
docebit
omnia
/
The
holy
ghoost
whan
he
shal
come
he
shal
teche
you
all
thynges
As
to
the
seuenth
/
that
he
is
gyuen
or
sent
first
in
the
begynnyg
of
the
chirche
by
prayer
/
as
thus
whan
he
cam
th
appostlis
praid
god
&
were
in
prayer
/
wherof
is
songen
/
Orantibus

Ihu

descended
/
Secondly
he
cam
by
heeryng
attentyfly
and
deuoutly
the
word
of
god
actuum
x
/
As
saynt
peter
was
prechyng
the
holy
ghoost
descended
vpon
them
/
Thirdly
he
cam
by
holy
&
besy
operacion
/
that
is
by
this
that
is
said
/
Imponebant

super

/
Th
appostlis
put
their
hondes
on
them
that
byleued

&

they
receyued

and

Imposicion

Wherfore

whan

He

And

For

in

All

whan

speketh
the

by
whiche
alle

thenne
mayst
thou
see
what
a

the

And
syth
that
so
moche
myght

that
it
whiche
neuer

Thenne
by
moche
more
reason
may
he
make
that

to
be
conuerted

And
thus
that
whiche
was
brede
to

the

The

memorye
is

/
that
is
the
passion
of
our

prechid

&
this
mynde
is

The
thirde
mynde
is
the
passion
of

transfigured
in

this
sacrement
/
which
is
verily
the
soule

body

of

&
this
mynde

embraceth
it
yet
more
/
Moche
more
ouht
this
sacrement
enflāme
in
whiche
it
enprynted
so
signyficatly
/
Secondly
as
for
to
calle
the
name
of
our
lord
/
wherof
is
said
genesis
xij
/
abraham
edefyed
an
aulter
to
our
lord
/
&
this
inuocacion
or-callyng
ought
to
be
made
/
after
that
th
appostle
saith
to
thymothee
/
or
by
prayers
made
by
admyracion
for
to
take
away
the

Or
by

made
to
gete
the
goodes
/
or
by
requestes
made
tencreace
the
goodes
&
to
kepe
them
/
The
first
that
is
made
vpon
the
aulter
is
said
ꝓprely
a
messe
by
cause
that
Ihu
crist
is
sente
fro
heuen
/
And
this
worde
messe
ꝓprely
is
said
of
sendyng
/
and
to
the
messe
Ihu
crist
is
sente
from
his
fader
/
and
sacreth
the
same
h●ste
/
For
first
we
haue
hym
fro
hys
fader
sent
to
vs
by
his
incarnacion
/
And
after
sent
of
vs
to
his
fader
by
hys
passyon
/
And
first
he
began
to
be
with
vs
by
sacrefyeng
And
we
with
hym
by
this
oblacion
that
he
praye
for
vs
/
And
it
is
to
wete
that
the
messe
is
songen
in
thre
langages
/
that
is
in
greek
/
in
hebrew
/
and
in
latyn
/
And
is
for
to
represente
the
tytle
whiche
was
sette
on
the
crosse
in
his
gloryous
passion
/
whiche
was
in
greek
/
hebrew
/
and
latyne
/
And
also
for
to
signefye
that
alle
maner
langage
ought
to
preyse
god
/
The
tongue
latyn
is
th
offyce
gospell
and
pystell
/
And
the
songe
in
greek
is
the
kyryes
whiche
ben
said
ix
tymes
that
we
may
come
to
the
ix
ordres
of
Angellis
/
¶
The
hebrew
is
Alleluya
/
Sabaoth
/
and
Osanna
/
Thirdly
it
is
halowed
for
to
synge
on
/
And
herof
saith
the
book
of
ecclesiaste
the
xlvij
chapitre
/
he
ordeyned
them

ayenst
theyr
enemyes
/
and
made
them

/
and
made

and
to

swete
melodyes
in

sowne
/
and
said
melodyes
in
plurel

/
after
that
hugo
de

saith
ther
ben
thre
sownes
that
make
thre
melodyes
/
For
ther
is
a
sowne
by
smytyng
/
by
wynde
and
by
songe
/
the
touchyng

smytyng
apparteyneth
to

/
And
the
wynde
to

/
And
the

And
this
concordaunce
of
songe
/
and
touchyng
of
t

may
be
ass●gned
to
the
concordaunce
of
good
maners
/
For
as
to
the
touchyng
of
t
harpe
/
it
may
be
reported
to
the
werke
of
the
handes
/
and

of

to
the
deuocion
of
the
thought

¶
And
the
songe
of
the
voys
to
the
prechyng
of
the
word
of
god
but
in
this
what
proufyteth
the

of

wythout
the
swetnes
of

She
breketh
the

but
the
wyll
kepeth
the
concordaunce
of

so
that
by

he
accorde
hym
to

/
and
by
his
good
wylle
he
accorde
hym
to
god
/
and
by
obedyence
to
his
maistre
/
and
this
is
the
treble
maner
of
musyke
/
whiche
is
reported
to
the
treble
difference
of
th
offyce
of
the
chirche
/
For
th
offyce
of
the
chirche
is
made
in
psalmes
in
lessons
and
in
songe
The
first
maner
of
musyke
is
made
by
touchyng
of
fyngres
/
as
in
the
sawtrye
and
semblable
instrumentis
/
The
second
is
the
songe
as
of
the
voys

and
that
aparteyneth
to
the
lessons
/
And
therof
saith
/
Synge

The
thirde
that

The
temple
or
the
chirche
is
halowed
for
fyue
reasons
/
The
first
is
by
cause
that
the
deuyl
and
all
his
power
be
put
oute
/
Wherof
saynt
gregorye
recounteth
in
his
dialogue
/
that
as
a
chirche
of
theretyques
Arryens
was
yelden
to
good
crysten
men
And
they
halowed
it
/
and
had
brought
in
reliques
of
seynt
fabyen
and
sebastyen
/
and
of
saynt
agathe
alle
the
peple
were
there
assembled
and
they
herde
sodenly
an
hogge
crye
&
renne
hyther
and
thyder
emonge
their
feet
sechyng
the
doores
of
the
chirche
/
And
he
myght
not
be
seen
of
noman
/
wherof
the
peple
had
grete
meruaylle
/
But
our
lord
shewed
to
them
/
that
it
was
the
foule
spiryte
that
dwellyd
to fore
in
that
place
/
And
that
nyght
was
a
grete
noyse
vpon
the
coueryng
of
the
chirche
/
lyke
as
they
had
ronne
vpon
it
/
¶
And
the
second
nyght
was
yet
a
gretter
noyse
/
And
the
thirde
nyght
was
so
ferdful
and
so
horrible
agrete
noyse
as
that
the
chirche
shold
haue
be
thorwen
doun
vnto
the
foundement
/
And
thenne
the
wicked
spirytes
departed
and
cam
nomore
there
/
The
hydows
sowne
signefyed
that
for
certayn
the
f●nde
yssued
by
constraynt
/
the
whiche
he
had
longe
holden
/
Secondly
it
is
halowed
by
cause
that
they
that
flee
to
the
chirche
shold
be
sauf
/
wherof
somme
chirches
after
the
dedicacion
be
preuyleged
of
prynces
/
that
they
that
ben
culpable
&
fle
to
the
chirche
that
they
may
be
sauf
/
wherof
the
Canone
saith
/
The
chirche
defendeth
the
culpables
fro
blood
/
that
they
ne
lese
lyf
ne
membre
/
And
therfore
Ioab
fledde
to
the
tabernacle
/
&
toke
the
aulter
Thirdly
it
is
halowed
by
cause
that
the
orysons
be
enhaunsed
there
/
And
it
is
signefyed
in
the
book
of
kynges
the
viij
chapitre
/
whan
the
temple
was
dedicate
/
Salomon
saide
/
who
someuer
shal
praye
in
this
place
/
thou
shalt
here
hym
lord
in
heuene
/
And
whan
thou
hast
herde
hym
thou
shalt
be
to
hym
debonayr
/
And
we
worshippe
god
in
the
chirches
toward
the
eest
/
for
thre
reasons
/
after
that
danyel
saith
in
the
fourth
book
the
first
chapitre
First
by
cause
that
we
shewe
/
that
we
requyre
our
peas
/
Secondly
that
we
beholde
Ihesu
crist
crucyfyed
/
Thirdly
that
we
shewe
that
we
abyde
hym
a
Iuge
to
come
And
danyel
saith
/
God
planted
paradys
in
the
hous
of
the
eest
/
Fro
the
whiche
he
exyled
man
/
by
cause
he
brake
his
comandement
/
and
made
hym
to
dwelle
to
fore
paradys
toward
th
occydent
/
er
he
wente
ony
other
part
/
and
therfore
we
loke
now
in
the
chirche
toward
th
oryent
/
And
our
lorde
crucyfyed
beheld
toward
th
occydent
And
thus
loke
we
worshyppyng
hym
toward
th
oryent
/
he
was
born
an
hye
/
and
so
worshippe
hym
thappostles
/
¶
And
so
shal
he
come
as
they
sawe
hym
gooyng
to
heuene
/
And
so
worshippe
we
hym
toward
th
oryent
in
abydyng
tyl
he
come
/
Fourthly
the
chirche
is
halowed
by
cause
that
there
louynges
and
preysynges
be
rendred
and
gyuen
to
god
/
¶
And
this
is
doone
atte
vij
tymes
or
houres
canonycalls
/
at

at

/
at
tierce
and
so
atte

/
And
how
be
it
that
god
is
to
be
preysed
in
all
the
houres
of
the
daye
/
but
by
cause
our
infirmyte
suffyseth
not
therto
/
it
is
ordeyned
that
at
thise
houres
we
prayse
god
specyally
/
by
cause
that
thies
houres
in
som
thynge
ben
more
preuyleged
than
the
other
/
for
at

whan
matyns

And
he

atte

of

/
&
it
is
said
that
he
shal
come
to
the

at

/
wherof
saynt
Iherome
saith
/
I

that
tho

/
For
the
day
of

mydnyght
it
hehoueth
not
to

/
For
the
people
abyde
the
comyng
of
Ihu
cryst
And
whan
this
tyme
shal
come
men
ought
to
haue
surete
that
all
men
make
feste
that
daye
/
And
we
synge
at
that
hour
praysynges
/
by
cause
that
we
yeue
hym
thankynges
for
his
natyuyte
/
for
his
takyng
/
&
of
the
delyueraunce
of
the
holy

/
so
that
we
may
besyly
abyde
his
comyng
/
and
the
lawdes
ben
adiousted
to
the
matynes
/
by
cause
that
in
the
morow
tyde
he
drowned
th
egypciens
in
the
see
and
created
the
world
and
aroos
/
&
at
this
hour
late
vs
gyue

to

that
we
be
not

of

with

/
And
that
We
rendre
louynges
to

for

and
for
his

/
Atte
our

Ihesu

/
and
the
people
assembled
there
to

as

/
he

And
at
this

after

And
therfore

that
we

At

And

In

And

Atte

And

And

And

At

they

Secondly
it
ought

And
the

Crosses
ben
made
on

and
they
be
enoynted
with

/
¶
And
it
is
to
wete
/
that
the
thre
first
goynges
aboute
signefye
thre
goynges
aboute
/
that
Ihesu
cryst
made
for
the
halowyng
of
this
chirche
/
The
first
was
whan
he
cam

/
the
seconde
was
whan
he
descended

The
thirde
was
whan
he
cam
agayn
fro

and
ascended
in

/
Or
the
thre
gooyng●s
aboute
/
shewe
that
the
chirche
/
is
halowed
in
t
honoure
of
the
trynyte
/
or
for
to
signefye
the
thre
estates
of
them
that
ben
to
be
saued
of
the
chirche
/
That
ben
virgynes
continentis
/
and
maryed
folke
/
whiche
be
signefyeed
in
the
disposicion
of
the
chirche
materyall
/
lyke
as
hugo
de
sancto
victore
sheweth
/
For
he
saith
that
the
sanctuarye
signefieth
the
ordre
of
virgyns
/
the
chore
or
quyer
signefieth
the
continentes
/
And
the
body
sygnefyeth
th
ordre
of
them
that
ben
maryed
For
the
sayntuarye
is
strayter
than
the
chore
or
quyer
/
and
the
quyer
strayter
than
the
body
For
th
ordre
of
vrgyns
is
more
worthy

the
contynentes
/
&
th
ordre
of
the
contynētys
is
more
worthy
than
they
that
be
maryeed
/
The
seconde
knockyng
atte
dore
signefieth
the
treble
right
that
Ihesu
cryst
hath
in
the
chirche
/
wherfore
it
ought
to
be
opened
to
hym
/
¶
For
it
is
his
by
creacion
and
swete
by
redempcion
/
and
by
promesse
of
gloryfyeng
/
And
of
this
thre
fold
right
saith
Anselme
/
Certaynly
lorde
for
somoche
as
thou
hast
made
me
I
owe
my self
al
to
the
/
by
cause
thou
redemyst

/
I
owe
my self
al
to
the
/
by
cause
thou
hast
promysed
to
me
so
grete
thyngis
I
owe
my self
vnto
thy
loue
/
&
by
cause
thou
art
gretter
than
I
/
for
whom
thou
gauest
thy self
/
and
to
whom
thou
promysest
thy self
/
I
owe
to
the
more
than
my self
/
And
this
that
the
bysshop
cryeth
thryes
/
opene
your
yates
&c
sygnefyeth
the
treble
power
that
he
hath
in
heuen
/
in
the
world
/
and
in
helle
/
And
this
that
the
chirche
is
thryes
wasshen
within
and
withoute
/
sygnefyeth
thre
causes
The
fyrst
is
for
to
put
out
the
deuyll
/
And
therfore
is
said
in
the
blessyng
of
the
water
/
that
it
be
blessyd
to
chace
away
all
the
power
of
th
enemye
the
fende
with
his
angellis
cursed
and
shrewd
And
thou
oughtest
to
knowe
that
this
holy
water
is
made
of
four
thynges
/
that
is
of
water
/
of
salt
/
of
wyne
/
and
of
asshes
/
whiche
thynges
put
out
the
deuyll
/
and
chacheth
hym
away
/
By
the
water
is
signefyed
th
effusion
of
teeres
/
by
the
wyn
is
signefyed
spyrituel
gladnesse
/
and
by
the
salt
is
shewd
mewre
distrecion
/
And
by
th
asshes
is
parfonde
humylyte
/
Secondly
it
is
dedicate
for
to
make
her self
clene
from
all
erthly
thynges
/
whiche
were
corrupt
by
synne
/
And
therfore
by
cause
it
shold
be
clene
from
all
ordure
/
it
is
wasshen
wyth
holy
water
/
so
that
it
be
clene
and
pure
And
this
was
signefyed
in
tho
lde
lawe
that
all
shold
be
clensed
by
water
/
Thirdly
it
is
halowed
for
to
take
away
all
malediction
/
For
th
erthe
atte
begynnyng
was
cursyd
with
his
fruyt
/
by
cause
man
Was
deceyued
by
fruyte
/
and
and
the
water
was
not
cursed
/
And
therfore
it
is
said
that
our
lord
ete
fysshe
/
but
it
is
not
fonden
that
euer
he
ete
ony
flesshe
by
name
/
sauf
the
p●ske
lambe
/
And
that
was
in
ensample
for
t
accomplysshe
the
commandement
of
the
lawe
/
And
by
cause
that
all
malediction
and
cursynges
shold
be
take
awaye
/
is
the
chirche
wasshen
wyth
holy
water
/
Fourthly
the
A.B.C.
is
wreton
in
the
pauement
in
latyn
and
in
greek
/
and
thys
signefyeth
the
comunion
of
that
one
and
of
that
other
/
people
/
Or
it
sygnefyeth
that
one
and
that
other
testament
/
or
th
artycles
of
our
faith
/
For
thescripture
of
the
lettres
greekes
and
latyn
/
that
were
made
on
the
table
of
the
crosse
/
representeth
th
assemble
of
the
faith
made
by
Ihu
crist
on
the
crosse
/
&
therfore
is
this
crosse
leyde
&
made
trauers
fro
th
angle
of
th
oryent
vnto
th
angle
of
th
occident
for
to
signefye
that
it
that
was
first
on
the
right
syde
/
was
made
the
lift
syde
/
&
that
whiche
was
atte
heede
was
made
atte
ende
/
&
thus
to
the
contrarye
/
And
it
representeth
the
scripture
of
that
one
and
that
other
testament
/
whiche
was
accomplisshid
by
Ihu
crist
/
on
the
crosse
/
For
he
said
whan
he
deyde
/
all
is
accomplisshid
And
the
crosse
is
made
trauerse
/
by
cause
that
the
one
was
chaunged
in
to
that
other
For
all
the
lawe
is
in
a
rolle
/
Thirdly
the
crosses
ben
paynted
in
the
chirche
/
&
that
is
for
thre
causes
/
The
first
is
to
fere
the
deuyll
/
For
whan
they
see
the
signe
of
the
crosse
there
/
by
whiche
they
haue
ben
put
out
/
they
ben
aferde
/
&
dar
not
entre
/
For
they
doubte
and
drede
moche
the
signe
of
the
crosse
¶
/
And
herof
saith
Crysostome
/
In
what
place
they
shal
see
the
signe
of
the
crosse
/
they
shal
flee
/
For
they
drede
the
staf
of
whiche
they
haue
been
hurte
/
Thirdly
it
representeth
the
artycles
o●
the
faith
/
For
the
pauement
of
the
chirche
is
the
fondement
of
our
faith
the
lettres
that
ben
within
wreton
ben
th
articles
/
of
our
faith
/
by
the
whiche
the
rude
peple
and
newe
ben
introduced
And
they
of
the
one
and
other
peple
whiche
ought
repute
them
for
asshes
and
for
pouldre
/
after
this
that
abraham
saith
in
genesis
/
I
shal
speke
to
my
lord
/
as
that
I
were
asshees
/
and
pouldre
/
Secondly
for
to
shewe
the
signe
of
the
victorye
of
Ihu
crist
/
For
thise
crosses
ben
signes
&
baners
of
Ihu
crist
and
of
his
victorye
/
&
therfore
ben
there
paynted
the
crosses
for
to
shewe
that
the
place
is
dyuyne
subgette
to

/
And
also
it
is
of

to

/
&
to

that
Whan

for

and
th
ensignemens
of
the

/
to

that
it
is

/
Thyrdly
for
to

thappostles
it
is
vsed
for
to

whiche
by

of

crucefyed

they

And

¶
And
it
is
to
knowe
that
the
chirche
or
the
temple
was
as
it
is
said
assallyed
by
thre
persones
/
By
Ieroboas
/
by
nabuzarde
and
by
Anthiocus
/
For
as
it
is
redde
in
the
book
of
kynges
/
Ieroboas
dide
do
make
two
calues
gylte
/
And
dyde
do
sette
that
one
in
Iudee
/
and
that
other
in
beleth
/
whiche
is
said
the
hows
of
god
/
And
this
dyde
he
by
couetyse
/
And
therfore
it
is
signefyed
that
the
couetyse
of
clerkes
maketh
moche
fowle
the
house
of
god
/
the
whiche
auaryce
regneth
moche
in
them
/
wherof
saynt
Iherome
saith
/
that
fro
the
leste
vnto
the
grettest
they
folowe
all
auaryce
/
And
saynt
bernard
saith
the
same
/
whome
wilt
thou
gyue
me
of
thise
preuostes
that
entende
not
more
to
empte
the
purse
of
his
subgettis
/
than
to
take
away
from
them
theyr
synnes
/
The
calues
ben
theyr
neuewis
and
theyr
sones
/
whiche
they
sette
in
bethel
the
hous
of
god
/
And
the
chirche
is
assaylled
by
Ieroboas
after
this
that
is
said
/
The
chirche
is
assaylled
whan
it
is
edefyed
and
bylded
of
th
avaryce
of
th
usurers
/
and
of
theuys
/
wherof
is
red
that
an
vsurier
had
founded
a
chirche
/
And
thenne
he
prayed
the
bysshop
for
to
dedye
and
halowe
it
/
And
as
the
bysshop
&
his
clerkes
made
th
offyce
of
the
dedicacion
he
sawe
the
deuyll
whiche
was
in
a
chayer
by
the
aulter
in
thabyte
of
a
bysshop
/
And
said
to
the
bisshop
/
Why
halowest
thou
my
chirche
/
cesse
ye
/
For
the
ryght
therof
aparteyneth
to
me
/
by
cause
it
is
made
of
vsure
/
and
of
ravayne
/
And
thenne
the
bysshop
and
his
clerkes
were
sore
aferd
and
fledde
And
anon
the
deuyll
destroyed
the
chirche
with
grete
storme
and
grete
noyse
Nabuzardan
as
is
red
in
the
xxv
chapitre
of
the
book
of
kynges
/
that
he
brente
the
hous
of
god
for
he
was
prynce
of
the
cokes
/
and
signefyeth
them
that
serue
to
glotonnye
and
to
luxurye
/
and
make
of
theyr
bely
theyr
god
/
And
after
this
that
th
appostle
saith
/
that
theyr
bely
is
theyr
god
/
And
hughe
of
saynt
vyctor
sheweth
how
theyr
bely
is
theyr
god
and
saith
/
Men
were
wont
to
make
temples
to
the
goddes
/
and
dresse
aultres
/
ordeyne
mynystres
/
for
to
serue
them
/
to
sacrefyse
beestes
/
and
to
brenne
encence
/
But
now
the
bely
and
the
kechyne
is
the
temple
/
the
table
is
the
aulter
/
the
cokes
ben
mynystres
/
the
beestes
sacrefyed
ben
the
flessh
soden
and
rosted
/
th
encence
is
th
odour
of
the
sauour
/
The
kynge
Anthiocus
was
the
most
proud
man
and
the
most
couetous
/
and
assaylled
the
chirche
of
god
as
it
is
red
in
the
makabews
/
¶
And
by
hym
ben
signefyed
pryde
and
couetyse
/
whiche
coueyte
not
to
prouffyte
/
but
to
serue
/
And
they
defowle
moche
the
chirche
of
god
/
¶
Of
whiche
couetyse
and
pryde
/
saynt
bernard
saith
/
They
goon
worshipfully
of
the
goodes
of
our
lord
/
And
yet
they
gyue
hym
no
worship
/
they
goon
euery
day
as
goliardes
in
habyte
shynyng
and
ryall
apparayll
/
they
bere
gold
on
theyr
brydles
/
on
their
sadles
/
and
on
theyr
spores
/
theyr
harnoys
shyne
more
than
the
aulters
/
And
thus
as
the
hows
of
god
was
dishonoured
by
thies
thre
/
right
so
was
it
dedycate
by
other
thre
/
And
moyses
made
the
first
dedicacion
/
And
salomon
the
seconde
/
and
the
thirde
Iudas
machabeus
By
the
whiche
is
signefyed
that
we
ought
to
haue
in
the
dedicacion
of
the
chirche
/
the
humilite
that
was
in
moyses
/
the
wysedom
and
discrecion
that
was
in
salomon
/
&
the
very
confession
of
faith
that
was
in
Iudas
machabeus
/
¶
And
after
it
apperteyneth
to

of
the
dedicacion
of
the
temple
spirituel
/
whiche
temple
we

that
is

And
this

¶
In
this
temple
the
aulter
is
the
herte
/
And
vpon
this
aulter
thre
thynges
ought
to
be
offred
to

/
the

is
the

lyke

the

¶
The
seconde
thyng

that

¶
The
thirde
thynge
is

and
this

This

spyrituell
that

is

in

For

whan

whan

of

And
of
this
treble
goyng

as

/
I

And

ysaye
/
take

And
as

the

¶
Secondly
he
smyteth
thre
tymes
the

of
the

whiche
is
closed
to

that
it
shold

And
he

Of

I

And

Thirdly
he

iij

and
so
ofte
it

And
this
wateryng
signefyeth
thre
maners
of

For
as
saynt
gregoore
saith
/
the
thought

an
holy
man
shold
be
confused
in

in

where

where

And
were

or

or
he

And
there
as
where
is
no

whan
he

Thenne
is

And
whan

Where

And
whan

he

the

And
thou

that
wyne

salt

and
asshes
ben

For
with
the
other
sacramentis
we

Salt

By

And
of

we

They

The

Fyftly

that

And

For
they
be
not

And
herof

he

he
that
prouffyteth

berith

gladly
and
with

but
he
that
is
parfyght

/
enbraceth
it
ardantly

and
moche

that

And
he
that

to

Thus

The

In

of
Adam
whiche
foloweth
/
IN
the
begynnyng
god
made

created
heuen
and
erthe

The
erthe
was
ydle

voyde
and
couerd
with
derknes
And
the
spyrite
of
god
was
born
on
the
watres

And
god
said
/
Be
made
lyght
/
And
anon
lyght
was
made
/
And
god
sawe
that
lyght
was
good
/
And
dyuyded
the
lyght
fro
derknes
/
&
called
the
lyght
day

and
derknes
nyght
And
thus
was
made
lyght
with
heuen
and
erthe
fyrst
/
and
euen
and
mornyng
was
made
one
day
/
¶
The
seconde
day
he
made
the
firmamente

and
dyuyded
the
watres
that
were
vnder
the
firmament
fro
them
that
were
aboue
/
And
called
the
firmament
heuen

¶
The
thyrde
day
were
made
on
the

¶
The
fourth

god
made
the

The
fyfth
day
he
made
the

¶
The
sixthe
day
god
made
the
beestis
on
the
erthe
eueryche
in
his
kynde
and
gendre
/
And
god
sawe
that
all
thyse
werkes
were
good
and
said
/
Faciamus

&c
/
Make
we
man

here
spack
the
fader
to

whan

Man
was
made
to
the
ymage
of
god
in
his
sowle
here
is
to
be
noted
that
he
made
not
only
the
sowle
without
the
body
/
but
he
made
both
body
and
sowle
/
as
to
the
body
/
he
made
Male

female
/
¶
God
gaf
to
man
the
lordship

vpon
alle

whan

had
made
man
it
is
not

Et
vidit

/
For
yet
he
was
not
parfyght
til
the
woman
was
made
/
And
therfore
it
is
red
it
is
not
good
/
the
man
to
be
allone
/
Thus
in
sixe
dayes
was
heuen
and
erthe
made
and
alle
the
ornacion
of
them
/
And
thenne
he
made
the
vij

in
whiche
he
rested

not

he
was
wery
/
but
cessyd
of

and
shewd
the
vij

Thus
ben

¶
For
here
ben
determynat
the

And
the

he
sanctefyed
and
made

/
God
had
planted
in
the
begynnyng
paradyse
a
place
of
desyre
and
delyces
/
And
man
was
made
in
that

he
was
made
of
the

Paradyse
was

Therfore

In

them
of

whiche
with

comandement
alle

they

One
was
by

man

a

by
whiche
they
shold

And
the
second
cause
was
by
cause
adam
shold
knowe
that
there
was
none
of
them
lyke
to
hym
/
And
he
named
hem
in
he
brews
tonge
/
whiche
was
only
the
langage
and
none
other
atte
begynnyng
/
And
so
none
beyng
founde
lyke
vnto
hym
/
god
sente
in
Adam
a
luste
to
slepe
/
whiche
was
no
dreme
/
but
as
is
supposed
in
a
extasi
or
in
a
traunse
in
whiche
was
shewd
to
hym
the
celestial
courte
/
wherfore
whan
he
awoke
he
prophecyed
of
the
coniunction
of
crist
to
his
chirche
/
And
of
the
flode
that
was
to
come
/
And
of
the
dome
and
destruction
of
the
world
/
by
fyre
he
knewe
/
whiche
afterward
he
told
to
his
chyldren
Whiles
that
adam
slepte
god
toke
〈◊〉
of
his
Ribbes
/
both
flesshe
and
bone
/
and
made
that
a
woman
And
sette
her
to fore
Adam
/
whiche
thenne
saide
/
this
is
is
now
a
bone
of
my
bones
and
flessh
of
my
flessh
/
And
Adam
gaf
here
a
name
lyke
as
her
lord
/
and
said
she
shal
be
called
virago
/
whiche
is
as
moche
to
saye
/
as
made
of
a
man
/
And
is
a
name
taken
of
aman
/
And
anon
the
name
gyuyng
he
prophecied
sayeng
by
cause
she
is
taken
of
the
syde
of
aman
/
therfor
a
man
shall
forsake
and
leue
fader
and
moder
and
abyde
and
be
adherent
vnto
his

and
they
shal
be
two
in

And
thaugh
they
be
two
persone
yet
in
matrymony
and
wedlok
they
be
but
one
flesshe

and
in
other
thyngis
tweyne

for
why
neyther
of

hath
power
of

They
were

were
not

they
felte
nothyng
of

For
they
stode

Thenne
the

whiche
was
hotter

yet
he
was

to

he
wente
to
the

not
so
prudent

and
more
prone
to

&
in
the
forme
of

for
thenne
the

was
erecte

Bede
saith
that

For

why
commanded
you

this
he
said
to

Thenne
the

answerde
and
said
/
Ne

For

Nay

And

And

The

And
gaf
vnto
Adam

but
Adam
anon
agreed

for
whan
he
sawe

he
supposed

hath
said
that
they

And

And
anon

¶
And
thenne
anon
they
vnderstode

For

tho

And
thenne
after
they
had

they
were
opend
lyke
spryngys
of

and
began
to

and
then
they
were

And
lyke
as
they
were

they
felte

and
therof
they
were

And
thus
they
knewe
then
that

And
they
toke
figge
leuis
and
sewed
them
to

for

And
anon
after

Our

And

Neyther

and
pryuely
she
leyd

/
The
serpente
was
not
demanded
For
he
dyde
it
not
of

by

/
And
our

cursyng
them
began
at
the

kepyng

congrue

The
serpente
was

The

next
and
synned
lesse

The

for

The

For

Also

And

Here
folowen
the
ten
comandemens
of
our
lawe
/
THe
first
comandement
that
god
comanded
is
this
Thou
shal
not
worshipe
no
straunge
ne
dyuerse
goddes
that
is
to
seye
thou
shalt
worshipe
no
god
but
me
/
And
thou
shalt
not
reteyne
thyn
hope
but
in
me
/
For
who
that
setteth
pryncypally
his
hope
on
ony
creature
or
faith
or
byleue
in
ony
thyng
more
than
in
me
synneth
dedly
/
And
suche
ben
they
that
worshippe
ydoles
/
and
make
their
god
of
a
creature
/
who
someuer
so
doth
synneth
ayenst
this
comandement
/
And
so
doo
they
that
ouermoche
loue
their
tresours
gold
or
syluer
or
ony
other
erthely
thynge
that
ben
passyng
and
transytorye
or
sette
their
herte
or
hope
on
ony
thynge
by
whiche
they
forgete
and
leue
god
their
creatour
and
maker
/
whiche
hath
lente
to
them
alle
that
they
lyue
by
/
And
therfor
ought
they
to
serue
hym
with
al
their
goodes
/
And
aboue
alle
thynge
to
loue
hym
and
worshipe
hym
wyth
all
theyr
herte
with
alle
their
soule
/
and
with
all
their
strengthe
/
lyke
as
the
first
comandement
enseigneth
&
techeth
vs
/
¶
The
seconde
comandement
is
this
/
that
thou
shalt
not
take
the
name
of
god
in
vayn
/
that
is
to
saye
thou
shalt
notswere
by
hym
for
nothyng
/
In
this
comandement
our
lord
comandeth
in
the
gospel
/
that
thou
shalt
not
swere
by
the
heuen
/
ne
by
erthe
/
ne
by
other
crature
/
But
for
good
cause
and
rightful
a
man
may
swere
without
synne
/
as
In
Iugement
/
or
in
requyryng
of
trouthe
/
or
without
Iugement
in
good
and
nedful
causes
/
And
in
none
other
maner
without
reson
by
the
name
of
our
lord
and
for
nought
/
yf
he
swere
false
wetyngly
/
he
is
forsworn
/
And
that
is
ayenst
the
comandement
and
synneth
dedely
/
for
he
swerith
ayenst
his
conscience
/
&
&
that
is
whan
he
swerith
by
auys
&
by
delyberacion
/
but
a
man
shold
swere
truly
&
yet
not
for
nought
or
for
ony
vayn
or
ylle
thynge
/
ne
malycyously
/
but
to
swere
lyghtly
without
hurte
or
blame
/
is
venyal
synne
/
But
the
custome
therof
is
perylous
/
and
may
wel
torne
to
dedly
synne
/
But
yf
he
take
hede
/
But
he
thenne
that
swereth
horrily
by
our
lord
or
by
ony
of
his
membris
or
by
his
sayntes
in
despyte
/
and
blasphemeth
in
thynges
that
ben
not
trewe
/
or
other
wyse
/
he
synneth
dedely
/
he
may
haue
no
reson
wherby
he
may
excuse
hym
And
they
that
most
accustome
them
in
this
synne
/
they
synne
most
&c
/
¶
The
thirde
comandement
is
/
that
thou
shalt
haue
mynde
and
remembre
that
thou
halowe
and
kepe
holy
thy
sabate
day
or
sonday
/
That
is
to
saye
/
that
thou
shalt
doo
no
werke
ne
operacion
on
the
sonday
or
holy
daye
/
but
thou
shalt
reste
fro
alle
worldly
labour
/
and
entende
to
prayer
and
to
serue
god
thy
maker
/
whiche
restid

.
vij·

the
werkes
that
he

the
vj.
dayes

In
whiche
he

ordeyned
the
world
/
This
comandement
accomplyssheth
he
that
kepeth
to
his
power
the
pees
of
his
conscience
/
for
to
serue
god
more
holyly
/
Thenne
this
day
that
the
Iewes
called
sabate
/
is
as
moche
to
saye
as
reste
/
This
comandement
may
noman
kepe
spirituelly
/
that
is
accombred
in
his
conscience
with
dedely
synne
/
Suche
a
conscience
can
not
be
in
reste
ne
in
pees
as
longe
as
he
is
in
suche
astate
/
In
the
stede
of
the
sabate
day
which
was
straitly
kept
in
the
olde
lawe
holy
chirche
hath
stablysshid

For
our

And
therfore
we
ought
to

holyly
&

for

other
solempne
festes
/
that
ben
stablysshed
to
be
halowed
in
holy

/
For
they
do
dyrectly
ayenst
the
comandement
of
god
aforsaid
&
holy
chyrche
/
but
yf
it
be
for
some
necessite
that
holy
chirche
amytteth
and
graunteth
/
But
they
synne
moche
more
thenne
the
employe

sondayes
&
the
festes
in

/
in

seruyse
tyme
/
in

and

&

For
alas
for
sorowe
I
trowe
ther
is
more
synne
commysed
on
the
sonday
and
holy
dayes
and

For
thenne
ben

Fyghte
/
and
slee
/
and
ben
not
ocupyed
vertuously
/
in

seruyce
as
they
ought

/
and
as
god
comandeth
vs
to

and
haue
in
mynde
to

the
holy
day
/
they
that
so

synne
dedely

this
third
comandement
/
Thyse
thre
comandementes
ben
wreton
in
the
first
table
and
apparteynen
only
to
god
/
¶
The
fourth
comandement
is
/
that
thou
shalt
honoure
and
worshippe
thy
fader
and
moder
/
For
thou
shalt
lyue
the
lenger
on
th

/
This
comandement
admonesteth
vs
/
that
we
be
wel
ware
to
angre
fader
and
moder
in
ony
wyse
/
Or
who
that
curseth
them
/
or
sette
hande
on
them
in
euyl
wylle
synneth
dedely
/
In
this
comandement
is
vnderstanden
t
honour
that
we
shold
doo
to
our
goostly
and
spirytuel
faders
/
that
is
to
them
that
haue
the
cure
of

/
to
teche
and
chastyse
vs
/
as
ben
the
prelates
of
the
chirche
/
and
they
that
haue
the
charge
and
cure
of
our
sowles
/
and
to
kepe
our
bodyes
/
And
he
that
wil
not
obeye
to
hym
that
hath
the
cure
ouer
hym
whan
he
enseigneth
and
techeth
hym
good

he
is
bound
to

/
he
synneth
greuously

and
is
inobedyent
whiche
is
dedely
synne
/
¶
The
fyfthe
comandement
is
/
that
thou

/
This
comandement
wil
that

shal
slee
other

ne

or
for
ony

in

/
yf

/
In
this
comandement
is
defended
the
synne
of
wrath
and
hate
/
of
Rauncour
and
of

/
For
as
the
scripture
saith
/
who
hateth
his
brother
is
an
homycide
/
whan
it
is
by
his
wylle
and
he
sinneth
dedely
/
¶
And
he
that
bereth
angre
in

For

Rauncour

And
yet

vylonye
or
hurte
to
another
wrongfully
/
or
counseylleth
or

But
wrath
or
angre
lyghtly
passed
without
wyll
to
noye
or
greue
ony
other
/
is
not
dedly
synne
/
¶
The
sixthe
comandement
is
thou
shalt
not
doo
aduoultrye
/
that
is
to
saye
thou
shall
not
haue

In

And

First
vnto
a
colour

whiche
lighteth

Secondly

For

Thirdly

In

And
as

appostle
thus
preched
Migdone
byleued
in

and
refused
the
bedde
of
her
husbond

Thenne
Carisien
dyde
so
moche
that
he
made
the

And
mygdone
wente

And
he
comforted

¶
And
thenne
Carisien
prayd

For

as
th
appostle
dyde
/
She
said
they
be
accursed
of
god
that
byleue
not

werkes
/
Thenne
th
appostle
taught
theym
shortly
that
were
there
foure
thynges

Fyrst
that
they
shold
loue
the
chirche

Assemble
theym
ofte

And
ofte
to

And
whan
the
kynge
sawe
the
quene
he
said
to
her

why
hast
thou
abyden
there
so
longe

And
she
thenne
answerde

I
had
supposed
that
Mygdone
had
ben

but
she
is

For
she
hath
brought

whyche
hath
made
me
to

And
they
be
ouermoche
fooles
that
byleue
not

¶
That
is
to
saye
that
they
byleue

And
neuer
after
wold

And
thenne

I

And
my

Thenne
the
kynge
comanded
that
th

And
was
comanded
that
he
shold

reconcile
the
wiues

And
thenne
th
appostle
said
to
the
kynge

in
shewyng
to
hym
by
thre
examples
that
as
longe
as
he
shold
be
in
the

they
ought

/
That
is
to
wyte
by
example
of
the
kyng
/
by
example
of

And
by
example
of

And
said

Am

yf

whom
he
loueth

I
haue
made
them
clene

I

Also

And

Thenne
the

And
made

And

Make

And

whan

worshipped
thy

And
yf
he
be

it
shold
be
more

For

And

And
thys
may
suffyse

For
the
chyrche
wylle
also
ordeyne
the
festes
whyche
folowen
the
natyuyte
of
Ihesu
cryst
for
two
causes
/
The
first
is
to
Ihesu
cryste
whyche
is
heed
and
spowse
/
to
th
ende
that
th
accompanyes
be
Ioyned
to
hym
/
For
Ihesu
cryste
spowse
of
the
chyrche
in
thys
world
adioyneth
to
hym
thre
companyes
/
of
whyche
companyes
is
sayd
in
the
cantycles
/
my
whyte
soule
and
rody
chosen
of
thousandes
The
whyte
is
as
to
saynt
Iohan
th
euangelyste
a
precious
confessour
/
And
the
rody
or
reed
is
as
to
saynt
stephen
the
first
martir
/
And
chosen
of
thousandes
/
is
to
the
vyrgynal
companye
of
th
ynnocentes
/
¶
The
seconde
reson
is
that
the
chyrche
assembleth
also
to
gydre
the
maners
of
the
martirs
/
the
some
by
wyl
and
by

the
seconde
by

/
the
thirde
by

/
The
first
was
the
blessyd
stephen
¶
The
seconde
was
in
saynt
Iohn
th

/
¶
The
thyrde
was
in

Thus
endeth
the
lyf
of

Stephen
And
next
foloweth
of

Iohan
th

IOhan
is
expowned
the

And
therfore
ben
vnderstonen
iiij
preuyleges
that
ben
in

blessid
saynt
Iohn
The
first
was
the
noble
loue

For
he
loued
hym
more

/
&
shewde
to
hym
of
gretter
loue
and
therof
he
is
said
the
grace
of
god
also
as
gracious
god
/
and
to
hym
he
was
more
gracious
than
to
pieter
/
for
he
louyd
hym
moche
/
but
he
is
loue
of
corage
and
of
signe
/
and
thys
that
is
of

is
double
/
that
one
is
for

The

proposicion
now
Tarquillinus
answerde

For

The

Tarquillinus

the

is
the
body
humayne
/
And
the
precious
stone
signefieth
the

/
The
body
and
the
sowle
make
a
man

lyke
as
the
gold
and
the
precious

make
a
rynge
/
And
moche
more
precioous
is
the

Thou
sendest

vp
this
ryng
out
of

And
they
may

Thus
sente

for
to
drawe
the
humayne
lygnage
out
of

/
and
they
myght
not
doo
it
And
lyke
as
thou
sholdest
leue
thy

clothis
and
clothe

and
woldest
descende

and
put

/
Ryght
so
the
mageste
of

hydde
the
lyght

by
a

vestement
whyche

And

and
descendeth
fro

and
put

And
toke

&
weessh

by

of

/
And
thus
he
whyche
dispyseth
the

shold
descende
in

Thus

The

Thou

Tarquillinus

They

Of

THe

is
halowed
more
than
of

Fyrst
for

that

whan
he
seeth
hym
that

to
be

Ioye
/
Secondly
for
the
Ioye
/
For
lyke
as
the
chyrche
had
grete
so●owe
in
hys
persecucion
/
So
had
she
grete
Ioye
in
his

/
Thyrdly
for
the
myracle
that
our

shewde
/
whan
of
j
so
cruel
a
persecutour
was
made
so
trewe
a
prechour
/
The
conuersion
of
hym
was
merueyllous
by
reson
of
hym
that
made

and
of
hym
that
ordeyned

and
of
the

that

and
in
that

he
chaunged
hym
so
sodaynly

For
anon
as
he
was
chaunged
he
said

saynt
Austyn

the

a

For
he
was
redy
for
to

that

was
wood
for

/
Secondly
he
shewd
hys
merueyllous
wysedom
/
hys
merueyllous
wysedom
was
in
that
/
that
he
toke
fro

the
swellyng
of

/
in
offryng
to
hym
the
inward
thynges
of
humylyte
/
and
not
the
heyghte
of
mageste
/
For
he
said
I
am
Ihesus
of
nazareth
/
And
he
called
not
hym self
/
god
ne
the
sone
of
god
/
but
he
said
to
hym
/
take
th
ynfirmytees
of
humanyte
/
and
caste
away
the
squames
of
pryde
/
Thyrdly
he
shewde
hys
pyteous
debonayrte
and
mercy
/
whyche
is
signefied
in
that
/
that
he
that
was
in
dede
and
in
wylle
to
persecute
/
he
conuerted
/
how
be
it
he
had
euyl
wyll
/
as
he
that
desyred
alle
the
menaces
and
thretenynges
/
&
had
euyll
purpoos
/
as
he
that
wente
to
the
prynce
of

/
as
he
that
had
a
Ioye
in
hys
euyl
werkis
/
that
he
ladde
the
crysten
men
bounden
to
Iherusalem
/
And
therfor
hys
Iourneye
and
vyage
was
right
euyll
/
And
yet
neuertheles
the
mercy
of
god
conuerted
/
Secondly
the
conuersion
was
merueyllous
of
hym
that
ordeyned
it
that
is
of
the
lyght
that
he
ordeyned
in
hys
conuersion
/
And
it
is
said
that
thys
lyght
was
dispositif

sodayne

and
celestyall
/
And
thys
light
of
heuen
aduyronned
hym
sodeynly

Poule
had
in
hym
thre
vices
/
the
first
was
hardynesse
/
whych
is
noted
whan
it
is
said
/
that
he
wente
to
the
prynce
of
the
prestes
/
And
as
the
glose
sayth
not
called
/
but
by
hys
owen
wyll
&
enuye
that
enticed
hym
/
The
second
was
pryde
/
and
that
is
signefyed
by
that
he
desired
and
sighed
the
menaces
and
thretenyngis
/
The
thyrd
was
th
entente
carnall
&
the
vnderstandyng
that
he
had
in
the
lawe
/
wherof
the
glose
saith
vpon
that

I

I

the

by

¶
And
thys
lyght
dyuyne
was
sodeyne
/
It
was
grete
and
out

for
to
throwe

hym
that
was
hye

proude
in

the

It
was
celestyal
/
by
cause
it
torned
and
chaunged
hys
flesshely
vnderstondyng
in

Or
it
may
be
said
that
this
ordenaunce

was
in
thre
thynges
/
that
is
to
wete
in
the
voys
cryeng
/
in
the
light
shynyng
/
and
in
the
vertue
of

Thyrdly
it
was
merueyllous
by
the
vertue
of
the
souffryng
of
the
pacyent
that
is
of
poule
in
whom
the

For
thyes
thre
thynges
were
made
in

without

merueyllously

that
is
to

that
he
was

And

And

I
saye
that
seynt

was
the

gloryous
in

he
was
made

that
hys

shold
be

of

And
fro
thenne
forthon

was
establyssed

he
coude
wel
suffre
hungre

and
habondaunce
/
and
was
informed
and
instructe
in
all

/
And
all
aduersitees
he
gladly
suffred

crisostom
sayth
he
ouercam
tormentours

tyrauntes

full
of

And
the
deth
/
the
tormentes

and
all
the
paynes
that
myght
be

/
he
counted
them
but
as
the
p●aye
of

¶
Alle
them
he
embraced
wyth
a

And
he
was
ennobled
in

to
be
bounde
in

more
than

And
receyued
more
gladly

And

Ryche

For

For
th

And

She

And

how

And

And
after

an

in

And

And
she
enduced

enformed
all

in

in

by
ensample
gyuyng
/
She
was
neuer
ydle

And
alle

were

And
they
had
no

And
they
myght
haue
no
lycence

/
And
them
that
cam
late
to

/
she
blamed
debonayrly

sharply
after
that

suffred
not

She
appeased
them
swetely
that

And
also
she
brake

mortyfyed
emong
the
yong

/
theyr

by

For
she
had
leuyr

sorowe
and

than
their

shold
be
hurte
by

And
she
chastysed
them
that
were
nyce

sayeng
that
suche
nycete
was
fylthe
of

and
said
also

that
a
word
sownyng
to
ony
ordure
or
fylthe
shold
neuer
yssue
out

For
by
the
wordes
outward
is
shewd
the
countenaunce
of
the
herte
within
/
and
she
that
so
spack
and
was
rebuked
therfor

yf
she
amended
it
not
at

first
warnyng

ne
atte

she

by
whych
she

And
thus
shold
be
amended
by
debonayr
correction

and
yf
she
wold
not

she
shold
be
punysshyd
by

She
was
merueyllous
debonayr
&
pyteous

to
them
that
were
seke

and
comforted
them
and
serued
them
ryght
besily
/
And
gaf
to
them
largely
to
ete
suche
as
they
asked
/
but
to
her self
she
was
hard
in
her
sekenes
&
skarce
/
For
she
refused
to
ete
flessh
/
how
wel
she
gaf
it
to

/
&
also
to
drynke
wyn
/
She
was
ofte
by
them
that
were
seke
/
and
leyde
the
pylowes
a
ryght
&
in
poynt
/
And
froted
theyr
feet

and
chauffed
water
to
wasshe
them
/
And
her
semed
that
the

she
dyde

in
seruyse
/
so
moche
lasse
seruyse
dyde
she
to
god
and
deserued
lasse
meryte
/
And
therfor
she
was
to
them
pyetous
/
and
nothyng
to
her self
/
In
her
right
grete
sekenesses
she
wold
haue
no
softe
bede

but
laye
vpon
the
str●we
or
vpon
the
ground
/
and
toke
but
lityl
reste

For
the
most
parte
she
was
in
prayers
bothe
by
day
and
by
nyght

&
she
wepte
so
moc●
that
it
semed
of
her

a

so
〈◊〉
tre●●s
ran
fro

And
whan
we
sayd
to
her
oftymes
that
she
shold
kepe
her

fro
wepyng
so
moche
/
she
sayd
the
vysage

by
cause
it
hath
so
moche
be
made
fayr
and
gay
ayenst
the

And
the
body
ought
to
be
chastised
/
that
hath
had
so
moche
solas
in
thys

&
the
lawhyngis
ought

be
recompensed
by

And
the

I
that
was
acustomed
to
pleyse
man
and
the
world
/
I
desyre
now
to
pleyse
Ihesu
cryst
/
And
what
shal
I
saye
of
chastete
/
in
which
she
was
example
/
vnto
all
ladyes
of
tyme
passed
/
whan
she
was
yet
seculyer
For
she
conuersed
in
suche
wyse
/
that
they
that
were
enuyous
durst
not
auyse
on
her
ony
euyl
fame
/
she
was
debonayr
and
curtoys
/
vnto
all
/
For
she
conforted
the
poure
/
and
warned
the
ryche
/
to
doo
wel
/
but
in
largesse
she
passed
so
/
that
n●
poure
man
complayned
of
her
/
And
thys
dyde
she
not
by
the
grete
habundance
that
she
had
of
goodes
but
by
her
wyse
gouernaunce
/
and
whan
I
said
to
her
that
she
shold
haue
mesure
in

almesse

after
that
the

sayth
/
that
th
almesse
that
is
doon
to

/
be
not
greuous
to
hym
that
doth

/
But
she
said
that
for
the
loue
of
our
lord
she
dyde
all
/
And
that
she
desyred
to
deye
beggyng

in

that
she
shold
not

And
that
she
myght
be
wrapped
in
a

whan
she
shold

And
atte

she
sayd

yf

I
shold
fynde
ynough
that
wold
gyue

And
thyes

Of

For

For

Saynt

O

alle

onely
god
in

And
after
he
ascended
vp
in

an

And
alle
the

And
alle
the
seke

were
guarysshed

beled

of
what
someuer
maladye
they
had
/
And
that
same
day
the

shewde
so
gretely

that
fro

Alle

¶
And
there
were
baptised
in
vij
dayes
more
than
ten
thousand
persones
of
men

chyldren
/
¶
And
also
theophilus
the
lord
and
prouost
of
the
cyte
/
to
whom
seynt
peter
had
reysed
his
sone
/
whyche
had
ben
xiiij
yere
deed
/
And
some
saye
that
of
hys
palays
he
made
a
chyrche
/
in
the
whyche
alle
the
peple
sette
vp
a
chayer
for
saynt
peter
to
sytte
in
more
hyer
for
to

the
doctryne
of
Ihesu
cryste

and
the
better
to
be
herd

seen

And
of
th
exaltyng
thus
of
saynt
peter
in
to
thys
chayer
/
thys
feste
taketh
the
name
of
the
chayeryng
of
saynt
peter
/
And
in
thys
chyrche
was
saynt
peter
vij
yere
And
fro
thens
he
wente
to
Rome
/
and
gouerned
the
chirche
of
Rome
xxv
yere
/
¶
That
other
reason
why
thys
feste
was
establysshed
was
for
the
reuerence
of
the
crowne
or
tonsure
on
hys
heed
/
whyche
yet
clerkes
bere
and
haue
/
¶
For
lyke
as
some
saye
/
at
this
Iourneye
was
first
founde
the
crowne
of
the
clerkes
/
For
whan
saynt
peter
prechyd
atte
fyrst
tyme
in
the
cyte
of
anthioche
/
the
paynems
share
hym
vpon
hys
heed
aboue
lyke
a
fool
in
despysyng
crysten
lawe
/
And
by
cause
thys
was
don
to
saynt
Peter
/
For
to
doo
hym
despyte
and
shame
/
it
was
syth
/
stablysshyd
that
the
clergye
shold
haue
hys
crowne
shauen
/
in
signe
of
right
grete
honour
and
auctoryte
/
And
it
is
to
wete
that
in
the
crowne
ben
thre
thyngis
/
Fyrst
the
heed
is
dyscouerd
and
bare
aboue
/
and
the
heer
cut
away
/
And
the
crowne
is
rounde
/
Ther
ben
thre
resons
why
the
heed
is
bare
/
of
whyche
saynt
denys
assygneth
the
tweyne
/
and
sayth
the
rasure
and
cuttyng
of
/
of
the
heer
signefyeth
pure
lyf
and
clene
wythout
ony
arayeng
wythout
forth
/
For
lyke
as
heeris
ben
naturelly
for
to
aourne
the
heed
/
right
so
dysforme
they
the
heed
whan
they
be
cut
of
by
mocquery
or
other
wyse
/
Also
good
maners
whych
ought
to
aourne
the
clene
lyf
/
defforme
the
holy
conuersacion
whan
they
ben
left
&
taken
away
by
habites
couoytous
and
proude
/
Also
the
rasure
or
shauyng
whyche
is
on
the
ouermest
parte
of
the
heed
/
signefieth
that
bytwene
god
&
them
/
ought
be
nethyng
ne
mene
that
shold
dysplese
god
/
but
their
loue
shold
be
in
god
wythout
ony
lettyng
&
enpesshement
/
And
shold
adresse
in
hem
theyr
thoughtes
/
The
second
thyng
that
is
in
the
crowne
is
that
the
heeris
bey
shaue
clene
away
/
by
that
is
signefied
that
the
clerkes
ought
to
take
away
fro
their
hertes
all
vayne
thoughtes
/
whiche
myght
lette
&
enpesshe
the
seruyse
dyuyne
/
&
also
ought
to
be
with
drawen
from
all
temporall
besynesse
/
sauf
only
to
haue
their
necessitees
/
The
third
thyng
that
is
in
the
crowne
/
is
that
it
is
r●unde
/
and
this
figure
semeth
good
by
many
resons
/
The
first
it
that
a
rounde
figure
hath
neyther
begynnyng
ne
ende
/
The
second
is
in
a
round
crowne
been
no
corners
/
And
as
saynt
bernard
saith
where
as
ben
corners
/
there
is
gladly
filth
/
and
that
is
to
be
vnderstonde
/
that
the
clerkes
ought
not
to
haue
in
their
hertes
no
corners
where
the
filthe
of
synnes
myght
assemble
/
but
ought
to
haue
a
clene
conscience
/
And
also
they
ought
to
haue
trouthe
in
their
mouthes
For
as
sayth
saynt
Iherome
/
trouthe
seketh
no
corners
/
The
thirde
reason
is
For
lyke
as
the
figure
of
a
crowne
/
is
most
fayre
emong
all
other
/
So
the
conuersacion
of
clerkes
or
prestes
ought
to
be
best
aourned
of
good
maners
emong
all
other
laye
peple
/
The
fourth
reson
is
/
for
lyke
as
a
crowne
hath
but
one
way
rounde
and
no
fygure
/
lyke
as
saynt
Austyn
sayth
/
ther
is
none
so
symple
a
fygure
as
that
whyche
hath
but
one
way
/
Also
the
clerkes
ought
to
be
symple
in
theyr
conuersacion
wyth
out
fiction
/
and
pryde
/
And
it
is
to
wite
that
holy
chyrche
haloweth
of
saynt
peter
iij
festes
in
the
yere
for
thre
yeftes
/
that
he
hath
power
to
gyue
to
the
peple
/
The
first
is
the
chayer
For
he
gyueth
absolucion
of
synnes
/
The
second
feste
is
called
aduincula
/
that
is
the
first
day
of
August
/
Fur
he
by
hys
power
transumeth
the
payne
perpetuell
due
for
synnes
mortall
in
to
payne
temporell
/
The
thyrde
feste
is
of
hys
martyrdom
/
For
he
hath
power
to
relece
some
paynes
of
penaunce
enioyned
for
the
synnes
confessyd
/
And
for
thyse
thre
causes
/
he
is
dygne
and
worthy
honourably
to
be
serued
and
worshypped
/
Late
vs
thenne
praye
to
hym
/
that
he
may
Impetre
and
gete
to
vs
remyssyon
of
alle
our
synnes
/
and
after
thys
short
transitorye
lyf
we
may
come
to
euerlastyng
Ioye
and
glorye
in
heuen
/
Amen
Thus
endeth
the
Chayeryng
of
saynt
Peter
Of
saynt
Mathye
th
appostle
/
&
fyrst
th
ynterpretacion
of
hys
name
MAthias
in
hebrewe
is
as
moch
to

Now

There

In

Thenne

Here
foloweth
t
hystory
of
saynt
Iohan
portlatyne
WHan
saynt
Iohan
the
appostle
and
euangelyste
prechyd
in
a
cite
of
grece
named
ephesym
/
he
was
taken
of
the
Iuge
/
whiche
commaunded
hym
that
he
shold
make
sacrefyse
to
the
false
ydolles
/
and
whan
he
wold
not
doo
hit
/
he
put
hym
in
pryson
/
And
after
he
sente
a
lettre
to
domycyen
the
emperour
whyche
sayd
that
he
helde
an
enchauntour
in
pryson
which
had
despysed
theyr
goddes
/
and
worshypped
hym
that
was
crucefyed
/
Thenne
commaunded
domycyen
that
he
shold
be
brought
to
Rome
/
and
whan
he
was
there
/
they
dyd
doo
shaue
of
alle
the
heerys
of
hys
heed
in
derysion
and
after
they
broughte
hym
tofore
the
yate
called
porte
latyn
/
and
put
hym
in
a
tonne
ful
of
brennyng
oyle
/
But
he
neuer
felte
harme
ne
payne
/
And
wythout
suffryng
ony
harme
he
yssued
out
/
In
that
place
crysten
men
dyd
do
make
a
fayre
chyrche
/
and
this
day
made
a
solempne
feste
/
as
it
were
the
day
of
his
marterdom
/
And
whan
the
Emperour
sawe
that
he
cessyd
not
of
prechyng
for
the
commaundement
that
he
had
made
/
he
sente
hym
in
exyle
in
to
an
yle
named
pathmos
/
It
ought
not
to
be
beleued
the
th
emperour
dyd
these
persecusyons
vnto
cristen
peple
bycause
they
beleuyd
in
god
/
for
they
refused
none
/
But
it
was
a
dysplesure
to
them
/
that
they
worshypped
god
wythout
auctoryte
of
the
senatours
/
¶
Another
reason
there
was
/
and
that
was
that
the
seruyce
of
theyr
other
goddes
was
lassed
and
mynysshed
therby
/
The
thyrd
reason
was
that
he
preched
to
dyspyse
the
worshyp
/
the
honoure
/
and
the
hauoir
of
the
world
/
and
that
was
the
thynge
pryncypal
that
the
Romayns
loued
/
But
Ihesu
cryste
wold
no
thynge
/
by
cause
they
helde
that
it
was
doon
by
puyssaunce
humayn
/
Another
cause
there
was
as
mayster
Iohan
beleth
sayth
why
that
the
emperour
and
the
senate
pursewed
crist
and
his
appostles
And
that
was
that
them
semed
that
god
was
ouer
prowde
and
enuyous
/
by
cause
he
d●gyned
not
to
haue
a
felowe
/
Another
cause
aledgeth
crosyus
and
sayth
/
that
the
senate
had
despyte
of
this
that
pylate
had
wryten
the
myracles
of
Ihesu
criste
to
the
Emperour
onely
and
not
to
the
senatours
/
Wherfore
they
wold
not
accorde
that
he
shold
be
amytted
to
be
worshypped
emonge
the
goddes
/
¶
Wherfore
Tybere
the
emperour
dyd
do
slee
some
of
the
senatours
/
and
somme
he
sente
in
exyle
/
The
moder
of
saynt
Iohan
heryng
that
her
sone
was
prysonner
meuyd
wyth
moderly
compassyon
came
to
Rome
/
&
whan
she
came
she
founde
that
he
was
sente
in
exyle
/
she
wente
thenne
in
to
the
champeyn
to
a
cyte
named
vo●ilana
/
and
there
deyed
/
and
yelded
her
sowle
to
cryste
/
whos
body
was
buryed
in
a
caue
where
it
longe
rested
/
but
after
by
saynt
Iames
hyr
other
sone
hit
was
shewed
/
whiche
thenne
was
taken
vp
&
founde
swete
smellyng
/
and
many
myracles
shewed
in
hyr
translacion
in
the
sayd
cyte
/
Thenne
lete
vs
praye
to
saynt
Iohan
that
he
praye
for
vs
/
Thus
endeth
the
felte
of
saynt
Iohan
Portlatyne
¶
Here
begynneth
the
lyf
of
Saynt
Gordyan
GOrdyan
that
was
vicayr
vnto
Iulyan
th
emperour
constrayned
a
cristen
man
named
Ianuarie
for
to
do
sacrefyse
/
But
by
the
grace
of
god
he
was
conuerted
by
the
prechyng
of
the
same
Ianuarye
vnto
the
crysten
feythe
wyth
his
wyf
&
liij
men
/
and
whan
this
came
to
the
knowleche
of
the
Emperour
/
he
commaunded
that
Ianuarye
shold
be
put
and
sente
in
exyle
/
and
yf
so
were
that
gordyan
wold
not
doo
sacrefyse
to
the
goddes
he
shold
be
byheded
/
and
so
his
heed
was
smyten
of
/
and
the
body
caste
vnto
the
howndes
/
whiche
laye
soo
by
the
space
of
seuen
dayes
vntouched
/
And
atte
laste
his
seruauntes
toke
and
stale

and
wyth
the
body
of
the
blessyd
epymache

whom
the
sayd
Iulyan
had

Of

He

And
yet

For

in

Ne
thys

And
certeynly

And
was
gladder
therof

He
vsed

And
aboue

had
none

But
only
to

And
he
forsoke

But
alle

He
refused
alle

And
wyth

he
conuerted
not

he
coueyted
more
with
the

than
without
his

And
so
he
despised
al

he
reputed
the

as

For
whan

Of

in

In
whiche
bapteme
the
handes
of
angellis
were
seen
that

On

And

and
he
pardonned

And
whan
he
was
ordeyned
to
be

he
shone
in
so
grete
holynesse
/
that
whan
he
sang
the
solempnytees
of

serued

After
this
whan
the

the
whiche
helde

and
whan
the
heretiques
herd
say
that
/
they
shitte
faste
the
doores
of
the
chirche
/
whiche
was
of
our
blessyd
lady
and
blessyd
virgyne
seint
marie
/
thenne
the
blessyd
saynt
knelyd
doun
/
and
anon
the
dores
opened
by
his
prayer
/
Thenne
put
he
out
eugenyen
bysshop
of
melan
/
Whiche
was
corrumped
of
this
euyll
heresye
/
and
ordeyned
in
hys
place
denys
a
man
/
right
catholyque
/
And
thus
Eusebe
purged
alle
the
chirche
of
th
occident
/
And
anastase
purged
th
oryent
of
the
heresye
arryen
/
Arrius
was
a
preest
of
Alysaunder
/
whyche
sayd
and
affermed
that
cryste
was
a
pure
creature
/
And
sayd
that
he
was
not
god
/
and
for
vs
was
made
/
that
we
by
hym
as
by
an
Instrument
were
made
of
god
/
And
therfor
constantyn
ordeyned
a
counseyl
at
nycene
/
where
as
this
errour
was
condempned
/
And
after
this
arryen
deyed
of
a
myserable
deth
/
For
he
voyded
alle
his
entrayles
bynethe
at
this
foundement
/
and
Constancien
sone
of
constantyne
was
corrupte
with
thys
heresye
/
For
whyche
cause
this
constancien
had
grete
hate
ayenst
Eusebe
/
And
assembled
a
counseyl
of
many
bysshoppis
/
And
callyd
denys
and
sent
many
lettres
to
eusebe
and
he
knewe
well
that
the
malice
of
hym
was
so
grete
that
he
daygned
not
come
to
hym
/
wherfore
th
emperour
establisshed
ayenst
th
excusation
of
hym
/
that
the
counseyl
shold
be
solempnysed
at
mylane
whiche
was
nygh
to
hym
/
and
whan
he
sawe
that
eusebe
was
not
there
/
He
commaunded
to
the
Arryens
that
they
shold
wryte
theyr
fayth
/
and
send
it
to
Denys
bysshop
of
Melane
/
and
xxix
bysshoppes
he
made
subscrybe
the
same
fayth
/
And
whan
Eusebe
herde
that
/
he
yssued
out
of
his
cite
for
to
goo
to
mylane
/
And
sayd
wel
to fore
that
he
shold
suffre
moche
/
And
thus
as
be
cam
to
a
flood
for
to
goo
to
mylane
/
the
shyppe
taried
longe
on
that
other
syde
of
the
Ryuer
but
the
shippe
cam
at
his
commaundement
And
bare
hym
ouer
&
his
felawshyp
without
gouernour
/
Thenne
the
forsayd
denys
cam
ayenst
hym
and
kneled
doun
to
his
feet
and
requyred
pardon
and
whan
Eusebe
coude
not
be
torned
by
yeftes
ne
by
menaces
of
this
Emperour
/
he
sayd
tofore
them
alle
/
ye
say
that
the
sonne
is
lasse
than
the
fader
wherfor
haue
ye
thenne
made
my
sonne
and
my
dyscyple
gretter
than
me
/
for
the
dyscyple
is
not
aboue
the
maistre
/
ne
the
sonne
aboue
the
fader
/
Thenne
were
they
meuyd
by
this
reson
/
And
shewed
to
hym
the
wrytyng
that
they
had
made
and
denys
had
wreton
/
&
they
sayd
that
he
had
wreton
/
And
he
sayd
nay
/
I
shal
not
subscrybe
after
my
sonne
/
to
whom
I
am
souerayn
by
auctorite
/
but
brenne
thys
writyng
/
And
after
write
another
yf
ye
wyll
/
er
I
shalle
write
/
and
thus
by
the
wyl
of
god
that
cedule
was
brent
whyche
denys
and
the
xxix
bisshops
had
subscrybed
/
and
thenne
tharcyens
wrote
agayn
another
cedule
/
and
delyuerd
it
to
Eusebe
and
to
the
other
bysshoppes
for
to
subscrybe
/
but
the
bysshoppes
enhardyed
of
Eusebe
/
wold
in
no
wyse
consent
to
subscribe
/
but
they
were
glad
that
thylke
cedule
which
by
constraynt
they
had
subscrybed
was
brente
/
thenne
was
constancien
angry
/
and
delyuerd
Eusebe
to
the
wylle
of
tharcyens
/
and
anon
they
drewe
hym
fro
the
myddle
of
the
bysshoppes
/
and
bete
hym
cruelly
and
drewe
hym
fro
the
hyest
of
the
palays
by
the
stappes
doun
to
the
lowest
and
fro
the
lowest
to
the
hyest
vnto
the
tyme
that
hys
hede
was
al
to
brused
and
bledde
moche
blood
/
And
yet
he
wold
not
consente
to
them
/
and
thenne
they
bond
is
handes
behynde
hym
/
&
after
drewe
hym
with
a
corde
aboute
his
necke
/
and
he
thanked
god
and
sayd
that
he
was
alle
redy
for
to
deye
for
the
defence
of
the
fayth
of
holy
chirche
/
Thenne
constancien
exyled
liber●en
the
pope
/
Denys
/
Paulyn
/
and
alle
the
other
bysshoppes
that
Eusebe
had
enhardyed
/
And
thenne
thareyens
ledde
Eusebe
in
to
Ierapolyn
a
cite
of
palastyne
/
and
enclosed
hym
in
a
strayt
place
in
so
moche
that
it
was
strayt
and
short
that
he
myght
not
stretche
out

/
ne
torne
hym
fro

and
he
had

so
strayt
that
he
myght
not

it
/
ne
torne
hither
ne
thyder
his
mombres
in
no
maner
sauf
only
his
sholdres
&
armes
/
the
place
was
so
strayt
in
lengthe
and
in
brede
/
And
whan
Constancien
was
dede
/
Iulien
suc●eded
hym
/
And
wold
plese
euery
man
/
and
commaunded
that
alle
the
bisshoppes
whyche
had
ben
exyled
shold
be
repeellyd
/
And
the
temples
of
the
goddes
to
be
opened
and
wold
that
alle
men
shold
vse
peas
/
vnder
what
lawe
he
were
/
And
by
this
occasion
Eusebe
yssued
out
of
pryson
/
and
cam
to
Athanase
and
tolde
to
hym
what
he
had
suffred
/
Thenne
Iulyen
deyde
/
And
Ionynyen
regned
/
And
tharcyens
sessed
/
Seynt
Eusebe
retorned
to
the
toun
of
versayll
/
where
the
peple
receyued
hym
wyth
grete
Ioye
/
And
after
whan
valent
regned
th
arryens
cam
agayn
in
to
theyr
forces
/
and
entred
in
to
the
hous
of
Eusebe
/
and
stoned
hym
wyth
stones
/
and
so
put
hym
to
deth
/
And
deyed
debonayrly
in
our
lord
/
And
was
buryed
in
the
chyrche
that
he
had
made
/
and
it
is
said
that
he
Impetred
and
gate
grace
of
our
lord
that
none
arcyen
myght
lyue
in
that
cite
/
And
after
the
cronyques
he
lyued
lxxxviij
yere
/
He
floured
aboute
the
yere
of
our
lord
CCC
&
l
Thus
endeth
the
lyf
of
seynt
Eusebe
/
Here
foloweth
the
seuen
machabees
/
There
were
vij
machabees
with
theyr
worshipful
moder
/
And
a
preest
named
eleazar
/
whiche
wold
ete
no
swynes
flesshe
by
cause
it
was
defended
in
theyr
lawe
/
And
after
that
it
is
conteyned
in
the
fyrst
book
of
the
makabees
/
they
suffred
grete
tormentis
&
suche
as
neuer
were
herd
to fore
/
and
it
is
to
vnderstonde
that
the
chirche
of
the
Oryent
maketh
the
solempnytees
of
the
seyntes
of
that
one
and
of
that
other
testament
/
and
the
chyrche
of
the
occident
/
maketh
no
feste
of
them
of
tho
lde
testamente
/
sauf
of
the
Innocentes
/
by
cause
that
the
soules
of
the
seyntes
of
that
tyme
descended
in
to
helle
/
but
she
maketh
feste
of
the
innocentes
by
cause
that
Ihu
was
slayne
in
eueriche
of
them
/
and
also
of
the
machabees
/
and
there
ben
iiij
resons
wherfor
the
chirche
maketh
solempnytes
of
the
machabees
/
how
be
it
that
they
descended
in
to
helle
/
●
The
first
reason
is
bycause
they
had
prerogatyue
of
martirdom
not
tofore
lyke
herde
/
and
aboue
that
ony
other
of
the
olde
testament
haue
suffred
/
And
therfor
ben
they
preuyleged
/
that
their
passyon
be
solempnysed
by
theyr
merite
And
this
reason
is
sette
in
scolastyca
historya
/
The
seconde
reason
is
for
the
representacion
of
the
mysterye
/
the
nomber
of
vij
is
vnyuersal
&
generall
And
by
them
be
vnderstonden
and
signefyed
alle
the
faders
of
tho
lde
testament
worthy
to
be
solempnysed
/
And
how
be
it
that
the
chyrche
maketh
not
solempnyte
of
them
/
by
cause
they
descended
in
to
helle
/
And
also
bycause
that
there
cam
so
grete
a
multitude
of
newe
seyntes
/
neuertheles
in
thise
vij
is
don
reuerence
to
them
alle
/
For
as
it
is
sayd
by
the
nombre
of
seuen
is
assygned
an
vnyuersite
/
The
thyrd
is
bycause
of
th
ensample
of
suffryng
/
And
there
ben
purposed
in
ensample
of
good
crysten
men
for
two
thynges
that
is
to
saye
/
the
constance
after
the
constance
of
them
they
ben
enhardyed
in
the
loue
of
the
faith
/
and
also
for
to
suffre
for
the
lawe
of
the
gospell
/
lyke
as
they
dyd
for
the
lawe
of
moyses
/
The
fourth
reson
is
for
by
cause
of
theyr
tormentis
/
For
they
suffred
suche
tormentes
for
theyr
lawe
that
they
helde
for
to
deffende
/
like
as
crysten
men
doo
for
the
lawe
of
the
gospell
/
And
mayster
Iohn
beleth
assygneth
thise
thre
last
resons
in
hys
somme
of
the
offyce
/
Thus
endeth
it
of
the
machabees
/
Here
foloweth
the
feste
of
seint
Peter
/
ad
vincula
at
lammas
THe
feste
of
seynt
peter
th
appostle
that
is
callyd
ad
vincula
was
establisshed
for
foure
causes
/
That
is
to
wete
in
remembraunce
of
the
delyueraunce
of
seynt
peter
/
And
in
mynde
of
delyueraunce
of
Alexander
/
For
to
destroye
the
custome
of
the
paynems
/
And
for
to
gete
Absolucion
of
spirituel
bondes
/
And
the
fyrst
cause
whyche
is
in
remembraunce
of
saynt
peter
ffor
as
it
is
said
in
t
historie
scolastyque
/
that
herode
agrippe
went
to
rome
and
was
right
famylier
with
gayus
neuewe
of
tyberius
Emperour
And
on
a
day
as
herode
was
in
a
chariote
brought
with
gayen
/
he
lyfte
vp
his
handes
in
to
heuen
/
And
sayd
I
wold
gladly
see
the
deth
of
this
olde
felawe
Peter
/
and
the
lord
of
alle
the
world
/
and
the
chariot
man
herd
this
word
sayd
of
herode
/
And
anon
tolde
it
to
tyberyus
/
wherfor
Tyberyus
sette
herode
in
pryson
/
And
as
he
Was
there
he
behelde
on
a
day
by
hym
a
tree
/
and
sawe
vpon
the
braunches
of
this
tree
an
owle
whiche
satte
theron
/
and
another
prysonner
whyche
was
with
hym
/
that
vnderstode
well
dyuynacions
sayde
to
hym
/
Thou
shalt
be
anon
delyuerd
and
shalt
be
enhaunsed
to
be
a

In
suche
wyse
that
thy
frendes
shalle
haue
enuye
at

/
and
thou
shalt
dye
in
that
prosperyte
/
And
knowe
thou
for
trouthe
/
That
whan
thou
shalt
see
the
Owle
ouer
at
the
ende
of
fyue
dayes
after
thou
shalt
dye
for
certayn
/
And
anon
after
Tyberyus
deyed
/
And
Gayus
was
Emperour
/
whiche
delyuerd
heroude
out
of
pryson
/
and
enhaunsed
hym
gloryously
/
and
sent
hym
as
kyng
in
to
Iudee
/
and
anon
as
he
cam
he
sent
hys
puyssaunce
/
and
sette
hand
to
/
For
to
put
somme
of
the
chyrche
to
affliction
/
and
dyd
doo
slee
Iames
brother
of
seynt
Iohan
th
euangelyst
with
a
swerde
byfore
the
day
of
ester
/
And
bycause
it
was
a
thyng
agreable
and
plesed
the
Iewes
/
He
toke
Peter
on
ester
day
/
and
enclosed
hym
fast
in
pryson
/
And
wold
after
ester
bryng
hym
forth
and
shewe
hym
to
the
peple
and
slee
hym
/
but
th
angel
cam
merueyllously
/
and
vnbond
hym
and
losed
his
chaynes
/
and
sent
hym
forth
alle
quyt
to
the
seruyse
of
prechyng
the
word
of
god
/
And
the
felonny
of
this
kyng
suffred
not
tabyde
ony
discicion
of
vengyance
/
For
the
next
day
folowyng
he
made
to
come
the
kepars
/
For
to
begynne
to
tormente
them
with
dyuers
paynes
for
the
fleyng
of
Peter
/
but
he
was
lette
to
doo
that
/
that
the
delyueraunce
greued
them
not
/
For
he
went
hastely
to
Cezarie
/
And
there
was
smeton
of
an
angelle
and
deyed
/
Thus
reherceth
Iosephus
in
the
booke
of
antyquyte
/
For
whan
he
rode
cam
in
to
Cezaree
/
alle
the
men
&
wymmen
of
that
prouynce
cam
to
hym
And
whan
the
day
cam
that
he
shold
goo
in
Iugement
and
take
possessyon
of
the
contray
/
He
went
and
cladde
hym
with
a
vestment
of
tyssue
merueylously
shynyng
of
golde
and
siluer
And
whan
the
sonne
smote
and
shone
on
it
/
It
was
more
shynyng
than
the
sonne
/
For
it
was
so
bryght
/
that
no
man
myght
beholde
it
/
And
the
brightenes
was
lyke
rede
metal
/
and
gaf
fere
and
drede
to
them
that
loked
theron
/
and
therfor
the
pryde
of
hym
was
so
grete
/
that
he
better
semed
a
man
made
by
crafte
/
than
by
nature
humayn
And
thenne
the
peple
began
to
crye
&
say
/
we
haue
seen
the
tyl
now
lyke
a
man
/
But
now
we
confesse
that
thou
art
aboue
nature
humayn
/
And
thus
as
he
was
flatred
with
honours
/
and
reffused
not
dyuyne
worshippes
/
he
beyng
there
sette
he
sawe
aboue
his
hede
an
owle
syttyng
/
whiche
was
messager
of
his
hasty
deth
/
And
whan
he
had
apperceyued
the
owle
/
And
byheld
the
peple

Were

In

But
the

haue
ben
chaunged

The
first
reson
is
by
cause
that
Ihu
cryste
was
borne

/
that
man
shold
be

/
therfor
it

/
that
thys
day
stephen

/
the
second
reson
is
that
the
feste
of
the

more
solempnly
made
than
the

/
&
that
is
only
for
the

of
our

Ihu
cryste
Neuertheles
our

hath
shewed
many
myracles
in
th

And
bycause
his

is
more
worthy
than
his

/
therfor
ought
it
to
be
more
solenpne
/
and
therfor
the
chyrche
hath
transported
his

to
the
tyme
in
which
it
is
had
in
gretter
reuerence

And

The

In

On

Domynyke

And

And

Thenne

And

And

And
constreyned

Thenne
he
brought

And
asked

and
he

After
he
brought
hym
in
to
the
parloure
or
locutorye

and
demaunded
hym
wherof
he
tempted
the
bretheren
there
/
thenne
he
put

And
the

demaunded

And

For

I

And
sayde

For

For

I

for
when
I

And

For

Thenne

And
on
a

whan

And
whan

he
was
sore

And
as

to

of

/
that
they
shold
gyue
this
tresoure
to
poure
peple

And
wondre
not
that
the
tresours
that
laurence
gaf
/
be
not
named
the
tresours
of
th
emperour
/
but
of
the

For

And
thenne
the

And
by
cause
he
was
not
scene
to

slayne
his

by

but
only
for

had
renyed

therfor
he
beganne
right
cruelly
to
persecute
the
chirche
and
Cristen
men

and
commaunded
that
they
shold
be
destroyed
withoute

And
many
thousand
martirs
were
slayne
among
whome
phelyp
was
crowned
with
martirdom
/
And
after
that
decius

made
a
serche
of
the

of

Thenne
was
Sixte
brought

hym
as
he
that
adoured
Ihesu

brought

And
whan

he
caste

And
thenne
I

And
for

And

he
wyste
not

netheles
the
body

was
discouerd

vnheled
by

but
alle
they
/
that
were
there
present
as
wel
monkes
as
other
were
deed
in
fyften
dayes
after
/
It
is
to
wete
that
the
passyon
of
saynt
laurence
was
moost
excellent
in
foure
thynges
/
lyke
as
it
is
founden
by
the
sayenges
of
saynt
Maxymyn
bisshop
/
and
of
saynt
Austyn
/
Fyrst
in
the
sournes
of
his
passion
or
bytternes
Secondly
in
prouffyte
or
effect
/
Thyrdly
in
constaunce
/
or
strengthe
/
And
fourthly
in
the
merueylous
bataylle
and
maner
of
his
vyctorye
/
Fyrst
it
was
right
excellent
in
the
bytternes
of
the
peyne
/
this
sayth
saynt
Maxymyn
/
And
after
somme
bookes
of
saynt
Ambrose
/
Bretheren
saynt
laurence
was
not
slayn
by
short
and
symple
passion
/
For
who
that
is
smyten
with
a
swerd
he
deyeth
but
ones
/
And
who
that
is
caste
in
a
fyre
is
delyuerd
at
ones
/
but
this
hooly
man
was
tormented
by
longe
and
multyplyed
paynes
/
so
that
the
dethe
shold
not
fayle
hym
at
tormente
/
ne
fayle
hym
at
the
ende
/
¶
we
rede
that
the
blessid
chyldren
wente
thorugh
the
flambes
/
And
haue
gone
vpon
the
coles
brennyng
harfeet
wherof
saynt
laurence
is
not
to
be
preferred
of
lasse
glorye
/
For
as
they
wente
in
theyr
paynes
thorugh
the
flammes
/
This
in
his
torment
laye
vppon
the
fyre
/
They
defowled
/
and
trade
vpon
the
fire
with
their
feete
/
And
this
was
restreyned
for
to
leye
his
sydes
therin
/
They
praide
in
their
paynes
holdynge
vp
their
handes
to
oure
lord
god
/
but
he
was
stratched
in
his
payne
and
prayd
oure
lord
with
alle
his
body
/
And
it
is
to
wete
that
the
blessid
laurence
is
he
/
that
after
saynt
Stephen
ought
to
holde
the
prymacye
/
Not
only
for
that
he
suffred
gretter
payne
/
than
other
martyrs
/
as
is
wel
founde
and
redde
/
that
many
haue
suffred
as
moche
payne
/
but
it
is
sayd
for
sixe
causes
Fyrste
for
the
place
of
the
passion
/
For
hit
was
at
Rome
/
whiche
is
heed
of
the
world
/
and
Syege
of
the
Apostles
/
Secondly
/
for
th
offyce
of
the
predycacion
/
For
he
accomplysshed
dylygently
th
offyce
of
prechyng
/
Thyrdely
for
the
lowable
dystrybucion
of
the
tresours
/
that
he
gaf
alle
to
poure
men
wysely
/
And
these
thre
Reasons
putteth
Maister
Wylliam
of
Ancerre
/
Fourthly
for
the
antyquyte
/
and
proued
martirdome
/
For
yf
it
be
sayd
/
that
somme
other
haue
had
/
gretter
payne
/
Alwey
hit
is
not
so
Autentyke
/
And
also
somtyme
in
doubte
/
but
the
passion
of
saynt
laurence
is
moche
solempne
/
and
approued
in
the
Chirche
/
¶
And
therfore
many
Sayntes
approuue
his
passion
in
theyr
Sermons
and
afferme
hit
/
Fyftly
for
the
degree
of
dignyte
/
For
he
was
Archedeken
of
the
Syege
of
Rome
/
And
as
it
is
sayd
/
ther
was
neuer
sythe
Archedeken
in
Rome
/
¶
Sixtely
/
for
the
cruelte
of
tormentes
/
For
he
suffred
them
right
greuous
/
as
he
/
that
was
rosted
vppon
a
gredyron
of
yron
/
¶
Wherof
saynt
Austxn
sayth
/
Sythe
/
that
the
membres
were
broken
by
many
dyuerse
betynges
/
He
was
commaunded
to
be
tormented
vppon
a
gredyl
of
yron
/
and
was
leide
therupon
whiche
by
contynuell
heete
/
that
was
ther
vnder
/
the
gredyll
hadde
tho
force
to
brenne
/
soo
that
he
was
tormented
by
the
tornynge
of
his
membrys
more
forcybly
/
For
the
payne
was
the
more
long
/
Secondly
he
was
right
eycellent
in
effecte
or
prouffyte
/
For
after
this
/
that
Austyn
and
Maxymyn
saye
/
this
bytternes
of
payne
made
hym
hyghe
by
gloryfycacion
/
and
honourable
by
opynyon
/
renomed
and
lowable
by
deuocion
and
noble
by
contencion
/
Fyrst
it
made
hym
hyhe
by
gloryficacion
/
wherof
saynt
Austyn
sayth
/
Persecutour
/
thou
we
rewood
ayenst
the
martir
/
&
more
than
wood
/
For
whan
thou
assemblest
peyne
/
thou
encreacest
his
glorye
/
thyn
engyn
fonde
not
glorye
of
the
ayde
whan
th
ynstrumentes
of
the
tormentes
transported
hym
in
t
honoure
of
vyctorye
/
And
after
Maxymyn
&
in
somme
bokes
of
Ambrose
it
is
sayd
/
how
be
hit
that
the
membres
were
bounden
in
the
hete
of
the
sparcles
/
the
force
of
the
feith
was
not
corrupt
/
the
body
suffred
enpayryng
/
but
he
gate
the
gayne
of
helthe
/
And
saynt
Austyn
sayth
truly
his
body
is
blessid
/
For
torment
neuer
chaunged
hym
out
of
the
feyth
of
god
but
his
relygyon
crowned
hym
in
holy
reste
/
Secondly
he
was
honourable
by
oppynyon
and
renommee
after
maxymyn
and
Ambrose
/
that
saye
/
we
may
lykene
the
blessid
laurence
to
mustard
seed
/
whiche
is
broken
by
many
maners
/
whan
by
the
grace
of
his
mystery
he
replenysshed
the
world
of
good
odoure
/
For
to
fore
that
he
was
constytute
in
his
body
/
he
was
humble
vnknowen
and
seruysable
/
And
after
that
he
was
all
to
broken
and
brente
/
he
shedde
in
all
the
chirches
of
the
world
the
odour
of
his
noblesse
/
¶
Also
this
is
an
hooly
thynge
and
playsaunt
/
that
the
solempnyte
of
saynt
laurence
be
nobly
honoured
/
whoos
shynyng
flammes
he
as
vaynquysshoure
holy
chirch
haloweth
this
day
in
alle
the
world
/
in
so
moche
that
his
gloryous
passyon
enlumyneth
alle
the
world
/
by
the
glorye
of
his
martyrdom
/
Thyrdely
he
was
lowable
by
deuocion
/
wherfor
was
he
so
lowable
and
so
with
deuocion
to
be
reputed
/
Seynt
Austyn
sheweth
it
by
thre
reasons
/
and
sayth
thus
/
We
ought
to
receyue
the
blessid
man
with
deuocion
/
Fyrst
/
for
he
gaf
his
precious
blood
for
the
loue
of
oure
lord
/
And
after
/
for
by
cause
he
had
vnto
oure
lord
grete
affynyte
/
shewyng
/
that
the
feyth
of
cristen
men
ought
to
deserue
to
be
of
the
company
of
martirs
/
Thyrdly
/
by
cause
he
was
soo
/
holly
of
conuersacion
/
that
in
the
tyme
of
pees
he
deseruyd
the
croune
of
martirdom
/
Fourthly
he
made
hym self
noble
by
folowyng
/
wherof
saynt
Austyn
sayth
that
the
cause
of
all
his
passion
was
by
cause
he
exhorted
other
to
be
lyke
to
hym
/
In
thre
thynges
he
shewed
hym
to
vs
folowyng
/
Fyrste
in
strong
suffryng
of
aduersitees
/
wherof
saynt
Austyn
sayth
/
the
moost
prouffitable
forme
for
tenforme
the
peple
to
god
/
is
the
faire
speche
of
martirs
/
It
is
lyght
to
praye
/
and
it
is
prouffytable
to
admoneste
and
warne
the
thynges
/
And
th
examples
be
better
than
the
wordes
/
And
it
is
more
to
teche
by
werke
than
by
voys
/
And
in
thys
right
excellent
maner
of
techyng
the
persecutours
myght
fele
of
laurence
how
he
shone
by
grete
dygnyte
/
And
how
the
merueylous
strengthe
of
hys
courage
gaf
not
only
place
of
byleue
/
but
also
comforted
and
strengthed
other
by
ensample
of
his
suffraunce
/
Secondly
by
gretenes
of
the
feyth
and
feruour
of
loue
/
Wherof
Maxymyn
sayth
/
and
Ambrose
also
/
whan
he
vaynquysshyd
by
feyth
/
the
flammes
of
the
persecutoure
he
shewde
to
vs
by
the
fyre
of
fayth
that
he
ouercam
th
embracementes
of
the
fyre
of
helle
/
And
by
the
loue
of
Crist
not
to

the

of

/
Thyrdly
in
brennyng
loue
/
Maxymyn
and
Ambrose
seyn
/
that
saynt
laurence
enlumyned
the
world
playnly
/
of
the
same
lyght
that
he
was
embraced
with
and
chauffed
the
hertes
of
all
crysten
people
/
by
the
flammes
that
he
suffred
by
these
thre
thynges
sayth
saynt
Maxymyn
after
the
bookes
of
saynt
Ambrose
that
we
ben
called
to
the
feythe
by
th
example
of
saynt
laurence
/
and
embraced
to
martirdome
/
and
chauffed
to
deuocion
/
Thyrdly
he
was
right
excellent
in
constaunce
and
in
strengthe
/
And
herof
sayth
saynt
Austyn
/
The
blessid
laurence
dwellid
in
Ihesu
cryste
vnto
the
temptacion
/
vnto
the
demaunde
of
the
tyraunt
/
And
vnto
the
deth
/
in
whome
th
ocasion
was
longe
/
and
by
cause
/
that
he
had
well
eten
and
well
dronken
/
he
was
fat
of
this
mete
And
dronken
of
the
chalyce
/
soo
that
he
felte
not
the
tormentes
ne
eschewed
them
/
but
succeded
the
Royamme
of
heuen
/
he
was
so
constaunt
/
that
he
sette
not
by
the
tormentes
/
but
after
that
saynt
Maxymyn
sayth
/
he
was
made
more
parfight
in
drede
more
ardaunt
in
loue
/
and
more
Ioyous
in
brennyng
/
For
the
fyrst
it
is
sayd
thus
/
he
was
stretched
vpon
the
flammes
of
the
grete
brondes
/
of
fyre
/
and
torned
ofte
fro
that
one
syde
to
that
other
/
And
how
moche
more
he
suffred
of
paynes
/
so
moche
more
he
dradde
god
/
And
of
the
second

And
it

no

For
as

Of

the

And
as

Maxymyn
sayth

he
had
thre
fyres
within
forth
/
by
the
whiche
he
surmonnted
by
embracyng
al
the

withoute
forth
The
fyrst
was
the
gretenes
of

faith
The
second
the
ardaunt
dilection

The
thyrdde
the
very

whiche
embracyd

Of

sayth
saynt
Ambrose
/
As
moche
as
the

chauffeth

so
moche
coled

We
rede

the

¶
Th
euangelyst
sayd

I

And
with
this
fyre
was
saynt
laurence
embraced

And
of

thus
/
the
martir
laurence
brenned
withoute

the
gretter
flamme

brenned
hym
within

/
Of
the
thyrdde
fyre
he
sayth
thus
/
The
right
cruell
flamme
of
the
persecutour
myght
not
surmounte
the
martir
/
For
he
was
ouer
moche
more
ardauntly
chauffed
in
his
thought
/
by
the
rayes
of
trouth
that
he
felte
not
the
flamme
withoute
forthe
/
which
he
vaynquysshyd
and
ouercam
Laurence
among
the
other
martirs
hath
thre
pryueleges
as
toward
offyce
The
fyrst
he
hath
only
a
Vygyle
among
al
the
other
martirs
But
at
this
day
the
Vygyles
of
sayntes
ben
chaunged
in
to
fastynges
/
by
many
/
And
as
Mayster
Iohan
Beleth
reherseth
/
It
was
somtyme
the
customme
/
that
the
men
wente
with
theyr
wyues
and
children
at
the
solempnyte
of
feestes
/
And
woke
there
alle
the
nyght
with
tapers
and
lyght
/
but
by
cause
many
aduentures
were
made
in
these
Vygyles
/
It
was
establysshed
/
that
the
Vygyles
shold
be
torned
in
to
fastynges
/
And
neuertheles
the
auncyent
name
is
reteyned
/
And
is
yet
reteyned
/
And
is
called
Vygyle
/
The
second
pryuelege
is
in
the
Octabas
or
vtas
/
For
he
only
with
saynt
stephen
haue
their
octauas
among
all
other
martirs
/
lyke
as
saynt
Martyn
hath
among
the
Confessours
/
The
thirde
is
in
the
reprysyng
of
the

For
he
only

saynt

haue
that
only

But
powle
hath
that
for
th
excellence
of

The

And

of

/
which

the
glorye
of

Ther

named
Peter
whiche

and
beganne
to

/
And
anone
the
oxen
and
the
cart
were
smyten
with

/
And
that
same
peter
/
whiche
had
soo
cursed
was
tormented
of
cruell
tormentes
/
For
fire
took

/
so
that
he
brente

and
the

/
and
the

appered
/
and

And

/
And

/
And
she

that

/
And
anone
saynt

in
the
hole
and
tooke
and
set
it
in
his
place
/
like
as

/
And
he
felte
soo
moche
payne
in
that
vysyon
/
that
he
awoke
and
cryed
so
lowde
/
that
he
awoke
alle

/
and
they
aroos
and
tooke
lyght
/
&
sawe
that
peter
had
two
legges
&
two

/
but
they
had
supposed
that
it
had
be
illusion
/
&
they
tasted
yet
/
&
yet
efte
ageyne
/
and
saw
that

&
thenne
they
awoke
hym
/
&
demanded
of
hym
hou
it
happed
/
And
he
wende
/
that
they
had
mocked

/
And
whan
he
sawe
it
/
he
was
all
abasshed

yet
neuertheles
the

softer
than
the

/
And
myghte
not
wel
susteyne
his
body
therwith
/
And
by
cause
this
myracle
sholde
be
publysshed
/
he
halted
an
hoole
yere
/
And
thenne
the
blessyd
Vyrgyne
apperyd
to

and
saynt
to
saynt
Ypolyte
/
that
he
shold
perfourme
that
whiche
apperteyned
to
that
cure
/
And
thenne
he
awoke
/
and
felt
hym self
al
hool
And
thenne
he
entred
in
to
a
recluage
To
whome
the
deuylle
apperid
oftyme
in
the
lykenes
of
a

naked
/
and
ioyned
to

/
And
the
more
he
defended
hym
/
the
more
the
deuylle
approched
ner
in
temptynge
hym
shamefully
/
And
whan
he
had
ben
shamefully
trauayled
of

he
took
the
stole
of
a

necke
/
and

And
anon

And

But
many

ben
put

more
at

As
that

that
Thomas

And
whan

cam
he
doubted

to

And
of
one
partye
of

vestymentes
it
is
sayd
that
ther
happed
suche
a
grete
myracle
as
foloweth

whan
the

And
when

It

was

And
there
were
aboute

demaunded

It

in

It
is
said
in
the

reuelacions

that
it
was
shewed
to
her
/
that
the
xl
day
after
the
sowle
departed
fro

she
was
so
assumpt
in
to

&
also

that
when
oure
blessid

spak

she
said

After

an

¶
And
also
she
sayd
alle
thappostles
were
at
my
departynge
/
and
buryed
my
body
honourably
/
And
xl
dayes
after
was
reysed
/
And
thenne
saynt
Elyzabeth
demaunded
of
her
/
whether
she
shold
hyde
this
thynge
/
or
that
she
shold
manyfeste
it
/
and
shewe
it
/
And
she
sayd
/
It
is
not
to
be
shewed
to
flesshely
ne
vnbyleuyng
peuple
/
ne
it
is
not
to
be
hyd
to
deuoute
and
crysten
peple
It
is
to
be
noted
/
that
the
gloryous
vyrgyne
Marye
was
assumpt
&
lyfte
vp
in
to
heuen
entyerly
/
Ioyously
and
gloryously
/
She
was
receyued
entyerly
/
that
is
holly
as
the
chirche
byleueth
debonayrly
/
And
that
afferme
many
sayntes
/
and
enforce
them
to
proue
it
by
many
reasons
/
And
the
reason
of
saynt
Bernard
is
suche
/
he
sayth
that
god
hath
made
the
body
of
saynt
Peter
and
saynt
Iames
so
gloryously
to
be
honoured
/
that
he
hath
enhaunsed
them
by
merueylous
honour
/
that
to
them
is
deputed
place
couenable
for
to
be
worshiped
/
And
alle
the
world
goth
to
seke
and
offre
to
them
/
Thenne
yf
the
body
of
his
blessid
moder
were
on
the
erthe
And
not
haunted
by
deuoute
vysytacion
of
cristen
men
/
it
shold
be
merueyll
to
here
/
that
god
wold
not
haue
done
as
moche
worship
to
his
moder
and
honoured
as
moche
her
body
/
as
the
bodyes
of
other
sayntes
vpon
the
erthe
/
Iherome
sayth
thus
/
that
the
Vyrgyn
Marye
mounted
in
to
heuen
/
the
xviij
kalendas
of
septembre
/
That
he
sayth
this
of
th
assumpcion
of
the
body
of
Marye
/
but
the
chirche
wyl
rather
debonayrly
byleue
it
/
than
folysshly
to
doubte
it
/
And
he
preued
it
afterward
/
that
it
is
to
be
byleued
/
that
they
that
aroos
with
oure
lord
haue
accomplysshyd
their
perdurable
resurection
/
wherfore
shold
not
we
say
thenne
/
that
it
is
done
in
the
blessid
Vyrgyne
Marye
/
&
also
many
byleue
that
saynt
Iohn
the
euangelyst
is
gloryfyed
in
his
flesshe
with
Ihesu
crist
/
And
thenne
moche
more
oure
lady
ought
to
be
gloryfyed
in
heuen
bothe
body
and
sowle
/
whiche
sayth
/
worshipe
thy
fader
and
moder
/
And
he
cam
not
to
breke
the
lawe
/
but
to
fulfylle
it
/
And
therfor
he
honoureth
his
moder
aboue
all
other
/
¶
Seynt
Austyn
affermeth
not
thys
only
/
but
he
preueth
it
by
thre
reasons
And
the
first
reason
is
the
vnyte
and
assemble
of
the
flesshe
of
oure
lord
and
of
oure
lady
/
And
sayth
thus
putrefaction
/
and
wormes
is
the
reproche
of
condycion
humayne
/
whiche
Ihesus
neuer
touched
/
And
the
flesshe
of
Ihesu
is
out
of
this
repreef
/
the
nature
of
marye
is
oute
of
therof
/
For
it
is
preued
that
Ihesu
criste
hath
taken
his
flesshe
of
her
/
¶
The
second
reason
is
/

And
therfor

And

And
whan
Ihesu

oute
of
th●t
reproche

the
nature
of

is
excepted

the
whiche
is
the
nature
that
he
toke

For
the
flessh

Thenne
is
it

that

Not

to
the

yf

after

thenne
yf

that

what
shalle

be
iuged

Where
is
she
worthy

Therfor
I

And
why
shold
not
she
possede
her

gloryfyed

by
whiche
she
conceyued

For
so
grete
an
halowyng
is
more
worthy

in

/
The
sete
of

the

and
the

of

ought

apperteyneth

and
soo
right
precious
tresoure
is
more
worthy

And
by

no

maye
not

I
fele
not

I
doubte

And
by

the

incomparable
surmounteth
gretely
thys

God

how
is
ther
ony
more
special

Marye

For
with
oute
doute

she
was
admynystresse
in

For
she
bare
hym
in
her
bely
/
she
childed
hym
/
she
nourisshed
hym
and
leyd
hym
in
the
Crybbe
/
she
went
with
hym
in
to
egypte
/
and
kept
hym
all
her
lyf
/
vnto
the
deth
of
the
Crosse
/
and
departid
not
fro
hym
/
but
folowed
hym
/
his
dyuynyte
myght
not
be
to
her
incredyble
/
For
she
knewe
wel
/
that
she
had
not
conceyued
of
the
seed
of
man
but
by
dyuyne
Inspyracion
/
thenne
she
hauyng
feyth
in

puysaunce
of

as
of
the
vertu

not

whan

Sone

she

that

And
he
acomplysshed

And
thenne
seest
thou
/
that
Marye
was
admynystresse
of

by

Thenne
yf
she

Ihesu

will
that

And
yf

Is

where
is
the
egall
mesure
of

that

For
by
the

Shalle
thenne
the

Nay
nay

for
yf
the
dethe

Certes
I
Iuge
the
dethe
of
Marye
to
be
right
precious

whiche
is
receyued
to
the
Ioyes
perdurable

by

Ihesu

more
honourably
than
the

whome
he
had
honoured

tofore
his

I
saye

that
she

ne
is
not

humanyte
after
the

that
is

of

of

Volente
vouchesauf
to

why
shold
not

It

he

ought
he
not

Mary
for
so
many
yeftes
of
meritees
&
dgnytees
&
we
know
well
that
alle
these
dygnytees
that
we
haue
said
haue
not
kepte

For
we
doubte
not

grace
hath
kepte
more
the
entyernes
of
Marye
than

And
thenne
oure

maketh
Marye

bothe

as
she
that
neuer

For
she

She

In

And
on
a

whan

and
fixed
them
vpon
a

/
he
had
anone
shame
in
hym self

and
was
a

/
For
he
lepte
anone

Aboute

At

Were

in

began
to

With

And
his

was
soo

that
he
had
lost

wherfore
as
he
wryteth

And
he
hym self
kneled

And
so

And
thenne

a

whanne
Valeryen
Bisshop
of

reputed
his

sayd
to

Neuertheles
he
approchyd
to
the
Bisshopryche

And
anone
he
establysshed
a
Monasterye
of
clerkes

and
beganne
to
lyue
vnder
the
rewle
of
thappostles
Out
of
whiche
monastery
were
ten
chosen
to
be
Bisshops

by
cause
the
seid
Bisshop
was
a
greke

but
litel
lettred
in

tonge

taught

he
gaf
power
to
Augustyn
for
to
preche
ageynst
the
maner
of
the
chirche
Oryental

And
therfor
many
Bisshops
despysed
hym

but
he
raught
not

yf
he
dide
it
to
be
done
by
the
sayd
Augustyn
that
whiche
he
coude
not
doo
hym selfe

In

conuaynquysshed
fortunate
the

all

he
confounded

Thenne
the
blessyd
Valeryen
doubted

lest

shold
be
taken
awey
from

for
to
be
made

requyred
to
be
a

And
he
wold
haue
gladly
offryd
to
hym
his

but
he
supposed
that
he
wolde
haue
fled
in
to
some
secrete
place
there
as
he
shold
not
haue
be
founden

And
thenne
he
impetred
of
th

of

that
he
myght
cesse

leue
his
bisshopryche
/
and
that
he
wold
promote
Augustyn
to
be
bisshop
of
the
chirche
of
yponence
/
but
whan
Augustyn
herde
that
/
he
reffused
it
vtterly
/
in
all
maners
/
Neuertheles
he
was
constrayned
and
soo
coacte
that
he
tooke
at
the
last
the
cure
of
the
bisshopryche
/
whiche
thynge
he
sayd
/
that
he
ought
not

&
sayd
&
wrote
for
thymbycion
of

the
whiche
he
lerned

that

And
it
is

after
of

And
it

It

Neuerthelesse

And
as
Rabanus
saith

that

that

But
he
made
no

For

And

And

reherceth
in

that
th

And

/
Herode
thenne
wente
not

but
he
was
dampned
in

/
For
as
it
is
conteyned
in
t
hystory
Scolastyke
/
Herode
Agryppe
was
a
noble
man
/
but
he
was
poure

And
for

pouerte
he

entryd
in
to
a
certeyne
toure
for
to

But
whan
Herodyane

/
she
prayd
Herode
tetrarche
/
that
he
wold
brynge

And
whanne
he
hadde

soo
/
they
dyned

And
Herodes
Tetrarcha
began
to
chauffe
hym
by
the
wyn
/
whiche
he
had
dronken
/
And
beganne
to
repreue
Herode
Agryppe
of
the
bienfettes
that
he
had
done
to
hym
/
And
that
other
sorowed
sore
/
and
wente
to
Rome
/
and
was
receyued
in
to
the

of
Gaius
th

/
and
gafe
to
hym
two
lord
shippes
/
that
is
to

of
lusayne
and
Abylyne
/
and
crowned
hym
/
and
sent
hym
kyng
in
to
the
Iewrye
/
And
whan
Herodyane
saw
her
broder
haue
the
name
of
a

/
she
prayd
her
husbond
with
grete
wepynges
/
that
he
shold
goo
to
Rome
/
and
bye
hym
the
name
of
a
kyng
/
he
habunded
gretely
in
Rychesses
/
and
entendyd
not
to
her
desyre
/
For
he
had
leuer
be
ydle
in
reste
than
to
haue
honour
laboryous
/
But
at
the
last
he
was
ouercomen
by
her
besy
prayers
/
and
wente
to
Rome
wyth
her
/
And
whan
Herode
Agryppe
knewe
it
/
he
sente
lettres
to
the
Cezar
/
that
Herode
Antipas
or
thetrarcha
had
made
frendship
with
the
kyng
of
perces
and
alyaunce
/
and
that
he
wold
rebelle
ageynst
th
empyre
of
Rome
/
And
in
token
of
this
thyng
he
signyfyed
to
hym
/
that
he
had
in
his
garnysons
armours
ynowe
for
to
garnysshe
with
seuen
thousand
men
/
And
when
th
emperour
had
redde
these
lettres
/
he
was
moche
glad
/
and
beganne
to
speke
of
other
thynges
first
a
ferre
fro
his
purpose
/
And
amonge
other
thynges
he
demaunded
hym
/
yf
he
had
in
his
Cytees
grete
habundaunce
of

/
as
he
herd
saye
/
and
he
denyed
hit
not

/
Thenne
th
emperour
byleuyd
well
that
whiche
Herode
hadde
sente
hym
in
wrytyng
/
and
was
angry
toward
hym
/
and
sente

/
And
by
cause
his

whome
he
moche
loued

/
but
she
wold

/
that
he
had
ben
in
grete
prosptryte
/
she
sholde
not

hym
in
his
aduersytees
/
And
thenne
were
they
brought
to
lyons
/
And
there
ended
theyr
lyues
myserably
/
This
is
in
t
hystory
Scolastyke
/
Secondly
this
feste
was
establysshed
and
halowed
for
the
brennyng
of

on

lyke

And
thenne
suffrid
he
the

/
when
his

were

/
And
therfor
the
Chirche
haloweth
this
feste
also
/
as
his
second
martirdome
/
as
it
is
redde
in
t
hystorye
Scolastyke
/
For
when
his
disciples
had
borne
his
body
in
to
the
Cyte
of
Sebasten
palestyne
/
they
buryed
hit
bytwene
Helyzee
and
Abdyas
/
And
at
his
tombe
many
myracles
were
shewed
Thenne
Iulyan
thappostata
commaunded
that
his
bones
shold
be
brent
And
they
cessed
not
to
doo
theyr
woodenes
/
thenne
they
tooke
them
and
brent
them
in
to
poudre
/
and
wynewed
them
in
the

/
And
Bede
sayth
in
his
Cronycles
/
that
when
they
h●d
gadred
his
bones
/
they
drewe
them
a
ferre
that
one
fro
that
other
/
And
by
this
wyse
he
suffred
the
second

/
But
they
saye
that
kn●wen
it
not
/
that
the
day
of
his
natyuite
his
bones
were
gadryd
all
aboute
and
Were
brente
/
And
whiles
they
were
in

as
it

sayd
in
Scolastica
historia
/
there
cam
Monkes

whiche
couertly
putt

and
took
a

And
he
sente

afterward
to

and
longe

Bysshop
of

and
sacred

in
t
honoure
of
saynt
Iohan
Baptist

and
this
is
that

But
now

and
Innocent
the
fourthe
wytnesseth
for

and
approwe

And
like
as
Herode
which
biheded
hym
was
punysshed
for
his
trespas
/
soo
Iulyan
thappostata
was
smyten

Of

Thirdely
this

is
halewed
for

For

And

and
dyd
do
burye
it
secretely

ther

For
she
doubted

that
the

ageyne
yf

/
And
as

And
as
I
supoose

And
thenne
they
wente

And

And
they
delyuerd
hym
the

was
the

Thenne
this

was
warned
in
the
nyght
that
he
shold

his
Waye

flee

and
soo
he
wente
with

and
brought
hit

And
there
as
long
as
he
lyued

he
worshyped
the
heede
in
a
caue

and
had
alwey
good
prosperyte

And
whan
he
shold
dye
he
told

shewed

Thus
endeth
the

Gyles
Here
foloweth
the
natyuyte
of
our
blessid
lady
THe
natiuyte
of
the
blessyd
and
gloryous
vyrgyne
marye
of
the
lignage
of
Iuda
/
and
of
the
Rial
kynrede
of
dauyd
tooke
her
Orygynalle
begynnyng
/
Mathewe
/
and
Luke
desceyue
not
the
generacion
of
Marye
/
but
of
Ioseph
/
whiche
was
ferre
fro
the
concepcion
of
Cryste
/
but
the
customme
of
wrytyng
was
of
suche
ordynannce
that
the
generacion
of
wymmen
is
not
shewed
/
but
of
the
men
/
And
veryly
the
blessyd
Vyrgyne
descended
of
the
lygnage
of
Dauyd
And
it
is
certayne
that
Ihesu
Cryste
was
borne
of
this
only
vyrgyne
/
It
is
certayne
that
he
cam
of
the
lygnage
of
Dauyd
and
of
Nathan
/
For
Dauyd
had
two
sones
/
Nathan
and
Salamon
among
alle
his
other
sones
/
And
as
Iohan
damascenne
wytnesseth
/
that
of
Nathan
descended
leuy
/
&
Leuy
engendryd
Melchy
/
and
Panthere
/
Panther
engendryd
Barpanthere
/
Barpanthere
engendryd
Ioachym
Ioachym
engendryd
the
vyrgyne
marye
/
which
was
of
the
lygnage
of
Salamon
/
For
Nathan
had
a
wyf
/
Of
whome
he
engendryd
Iacob
/
And
whanne
Nathan
was
deed
/
Melchy
whiche
was
sone
of
leuy
/
and
broder
of
panther
wedded
the
wyf
of
Nathan
moder
of
Iacob
/
And
on
her
he
engendryd
Hely
/
And
so
Iacob
/
and
Hely
were
brethehen
of
one
moder
/
but
not
of
one
fader
/
For
Iacob
was
of
the
lygne
of
Salamon
/
And
hely
of
the
lygne
of
Nathan
/
And
thenne
Hely
of
the
lygne
of
Nathan
deyde
wythoute
Chyldren
/
And
Iacob
hys
brother
/
whiche
was
of
the
lygne
of
Salamon
tooke
a
wyfe
/
And
engendryd
and
reysed
the
seede
of
his
brother
/
and
engendryd
Ioseph
/
Ioseph
thenne
by
nature
is
sone
of
Iacob
by
descente
of
Salamon
/
That
is
to
wyte
/
Ioseph
is
the
sone
of
Iacob
/
&
after
the
lawe
he
is
sone
of
Hely
whiche
descended
of
Nathan
/
For
the
sone
that
was
borne
was
by
nature
his
that
engendryd
hym
/
&
by
the
lawe
he
was
sone
of
hym
that
was
dede
/
lyke
as
it
is
sayd
in
t
hystorye
scolastyke
/
And
Bede
wytnessyth
in
his
Cronycle
/
that
whanne
alle
the
generacions
of
thebrewes
and
other
straungers
were
kepte
in
the
mooste
secrete
chestes
of
the
Temple
/
Herode
commanded
them
to
be
brente

wenynge
therby
to
make
hym self
noble
among
the
other
/
yf
the
preues
of
the
lignages
were
fayled
/
he
shold
make
them
byleue
that
his
lygnage
apperteyned
to
them
of
Israel
/
And
there
were
somme
/
that
were
callyd
domynykes
/
for
by
cause
that
they
were
soo
nygh
to
Ihesu
Cryste

and
were
of

and
they
had
lerned

a

and
a

that
they
had
in

and
taught
them

/
as
moche
as
they
myghte
/
Ioachym
spoused
Anne
whiche
had
a
suster
named
Hysmerye

And
Hysmerye
had
a
doughter
named
Elyzabeth
/
and
Eliud
/
Elyzabeth
was

And

And

And
Anne
had
thre
husbondes
/
Ioachym
/
Cleophe
/
and
Salome
/
And
of
the
fyrste
she
had
a
doughter
named
Marye

the
moder
of
god
/
the
whiche
was
gyuen
to
Ioseph
in

/
And
she
childed
our
lord
Ihesu
crist
And
whanne
Ioachym
was
deed
/
she
took
Cleophas
the
broder
of
Ioseph
And
had
by
hym
another
doughter
named
Marye
also
/
And
she
was
maryed
to

And
Alphee

Thenne
the

Anne
maryed
the

and
had
by

another

whiche

also
was

And
she
was
maryed
to

And
this

But
it
is
merueylous
for
to
see
ho●
the
blessyd
vyrgyn
Marye
myghte
be
Cosyn
of
Elyzabeth
/
as
it
is
to fore
sayd
/
It
is
certeyne
that
Elyzabeth
was
Zacharyes
wyf
/
which
was
of
the
lignage
of
leuy
/
And
after
the
lawe
eche
ought
to
wedde
a
wyf
of
his
owne
lignage
/
And
she
was
of
the
doughters
of
Aaron
/
as
saynt
Luke
wytnessyth
And
Anne
was
of
Bethlehem
/
as
saynt
Ieromme
sayth
/
and
was
of
the
Trybe
of
Iuda
/
¶
And
thenne
they
of
the
lygne
of
leuy
wedded
wyues
of
the
ligne
of
Iuda
/
soo
that
the
lygne
Royal
/
and
the
lygne
of
the
prestes
were
alweye
ioyned
to
gydre
by
cosynage
/
So
that
as
Bede
sayth
/
This
Cosynage
myght
be
made
sythe
the
fyrst
tyme
/
And
thus
to
be
norysshyd
fro
lygnage
to
lygnage
/
And
thus
shold
it
be
certeyne
that
the
blessyd
Vyrgyne
Marye
descended
of
the
Ryall
lygne
/
and
hadde
cosynage
of
the
preestes
/
And
oure
blessyd
lady
was
of
bothe
lygnages
/
And
so
oure
lord
wold
/
that
these
two
lygnages
/
shold
entresemble
to
gyders
for
greete
mysterye
/
For
hit
apperteyneth
that
he
shold
be
borne
/
and
offryd
for
vs
very
god
/
and
〈◊〉
kyng
/
and
very
preest
/
and
shold
gouerne
his
trewe
crysten
men
fyghtyng
in
the
Chyualrye
of
this
lyf
/
and
to
crowne
them
after
theyr
vyctorye
/
the
whiche
thyng
apperith
of
the
name
of
Cryste
/
For
Cryste
is
as
moche
to
saye
as
enoynted
/
For
in
tho
lde
lawe
ther
was
none
enoynted
but
preestes
and
kynges
/
And
we
ben
sayd
Crysten
of
Criste
/
and
ben
callyd
the
lygnage
chosen
of
kynges
&
preestes
/
but
by
cause
it
is
sayd
that
the
man
took
wyues
of
theyr
lignage
only
/
that
was
by
cause
the
distribucion
of
the
sortes
shold
not
be
confounded
/
For
the
trybe
of
leuy
hadde
not
his
sorte
with
the
other
/
&
therfore
myght
they
wel
marye
them
with
the
wymmen
of
the
tribe
/
or
where
they
wold
like
as
seint
Ierom
reherceth
in
his
prologue
whan
he
was
a
child
he
had
a
litil
book
of
t
hystory
of
the
natyuyte
of
the
vyrgyn
Marye
/
but
as
he
remembryd
a
long
tyme
after
he
translated
hit
by
the
prayer
of
somme
persones
/
And
fonde
that
Ioachym
/
whiche
was
of
galylee
of
the
Cyte
of
Nazareth
/
espoused
saynt
Anne
of
Bethlehem
/
And
they
were
bothe
Iuste
/
and
withoute
reproche
or
reprehencion
in
the
commaundementes
of
our
lord
/
And
deuyded
alle
theyr
substaunce
in
thre
partyes
/
that
one
partye
was
for
the
Temple
/
That
other
they
gaf
to
the
poure
and
pylgryms
/
And
the
thyrdde
was
for
them self
/
and
theyr
meyny
to
lyue
wyth
/
And
thus
lyued
twenty
yere
in
maryage
withoute
hauyng
ony
lignage
/
And
thenne
they
auowed
to
oure
lord
/
that
yf
he
sente
to
them
ony
lygnage
they
shold
gyue
hit
to
hym
/
for
to
serue
hym
/
For
whiche
thyng
they
wente
euery
yere
in
to
Ierusalem
in
thre
pryncypal
feestes
/
so
that
in
the
fest
of
Eu●enye
that
was
the
dedycacion
of
the
Temple
/
Thenne
Ioachym
wente
vnto
Ierusalem
with
his
kynrede
/
and
cam
to
the
aulter
with
the
other
/
and
wold
haue
offryd
his
offryng
/
¶
And
whan
the
preest
sawe
hym
/
he
put
hym
a
parte
by
grete
despite
/
and
repreuyd
hym
by
cause
he
cam
to
the
aulter
of
god
/
and
said
to
hym
that
it
was
couenable
/
that
a
man
cursyd
in
the
feyth
shold
not
offre
to
our
lord
/
ne
he
that
was
barayne
shold
be
among
them
/
that
had
fruyte
/
as
he
that
had
none
to
th
enerece
of
the
peple
of
god
/
And
thenne
Ioachym
al
confused
for
this
thynge
/
durst
not
go
home
for
shame
/
by
cause
they
of
his
lygnage
and
his
neyghbourghs
/
whiche
hadde
herd
it
shold
not
repreue
hym
/
And
thenne
he
wente
to
his
herdmen
and
was
there
longe
/
And
thenne
the
aungell
appered
to
hym
only
/
and
comforted
hym
with
grete
clerenes
/
And
sayd
to
hym
/
that
be
shold
not
doubte
ne
be
aferd
of
his
vysyon
/
and
sayd
/
I
am
the
Aungel
of
oure
lord
sente
to
the
for
to
denounce
to
the
/
that
thy
prayers
haue
auayled
the
/
and
ben
herd
/
And
thy
almesses
ben
mounted
to
fore
oure
lord
/
I
haue
sene
thy
shame
/
And
herd
the
reproche
that
that
thou
art
barayn●
is
to
the
no
reproche
by
ryght
/
and
god
is
venger
of
synne
and
not
of
nature
/
And
whan
he
chosed
the
bely
or
wombe
/
he
werketh
s●o
that
he
openeth
it
after
more
merueylously
/
And
the
fruyt
that
shall
be
borne
/
shold
not
be
sene
to
come
forthe
by
lecherye
/
but
that
it
be
knowen
that
it
is
of
the
yefte
of
god
/
The
fyrst
moder
of
your
peple
was
Sara
/
And
she
was
barayne
vnto
the
nyenty
yere
/
And
had
only
ysaac
/
to
whome
the
benediction
of
al
peple
was
promysed
/
And
was
not
Rachel
longe
barayne
/
And
yet
had
she
after
Ioseph
/
that
helde
alle
the
seygnorye
of
Egypte
/
whiche
was
more
strong
than
Sampson
and
more
hooly
than
Samuel
/
And
yet
were
theyr
moders
barayne
/
Thus
mayst
thou
byleue
by
reason
/
&
by
ensample
/
that
the
childynges
long
abyden
be
woned
to
be
more
merueylous
/
And
therfor
Anne
thy
wyf
shal
haue
a
doughter
/
And
thow
shalt
calle
her
Marye
/
&
she
as
ye
haue
auowed
shall
be
fro
her
Infancy
sacred
vnto
oure
lord
/
and
shalle
be
ful
of
the
hooly
ghooste
/
sythe
the
tyme
/
that
she
shalle
departe
fro
the
wombe
of
her
moder
/
and
she
shalle
dwelle
in
the
temple
of
our
lord
/
and
not
withoute
emong
the
other
peple
/
by
cause
that
none
euil
thyng
shall
be
had
in
suspecion
of
her
and
ryght
as
she
shall
be
borne
of
a
barayne
moder
/
soo
shalle
be
borne
of
her
merueylously
the
sone
of
a
ryght
hyhe
lord
/
Of
whome
the
name
shalle
be
Ihesus
/
And
by
hym
shalle
helthe
be
yeuen
to
alle
the
peuple
/
And
I
gyue
to
the
the
signe
/
that
whan
thow
shalt
come
to
the
golden
yate
at
Ierusalem
thou
shalt
mete
there
Anne
thy
wyf
/
whiche
is
moche
amoeued
of
thy●●ng
taryeng
/
and
shal
haue
ioye
of
thy
comynge
/
And
thenne
the
Aungel
whan
he
had
sayd
this
/
he
departed
fro
hym
/
And
as
whan
Anne
wepte
bytterly
and
wyste
not

whither
her
husbond
was
gone
/
The
same
Aungel
apperyd
to

and
sayde
all

And
gase
to

And
how
this
hooly
Response
was
made
I
purpose
vnder

to

here
/
It
is
so
/
that
I
was
at

reherced
there
by
a
noble
doctour
/
that
the
hooly

deuoute

Ieromme
had
a
custome
to
vysyte
the
chirches
at
Rome
/
And
so
he
cam
in
to
a
Chirche
/
where
an
ymage
of
our
blessyd
lady
stoode
in
a
chappell
by
the
dore
/
as
he
entryd
/
and
passyd
forthe
by
withoute
ony
salutacion
to
our

/
And
wente
forthe
to
euery

and
made
his

eche
after

And
retourned
ageyne
by
the

without

Thenne
our

lady
called
hym
/
and
spak
to
hym
by
the
sayd
ymage
/
and
demaunded
of
hym
the
cause
why
he
made
no

to

seyng
that
he
had
done
honoure
&
worship
to

And

For

So

thenne
what

And
therfore

And

trouthe
was

that

Wherfore
he
eschewed

For

wold

And
studyed
that
a

shold
be
ordeyned

that
none
shold

And
they
that

shold
be

And
a

whyle
after

Eutrope
had
trespaced
to
th

and
fled

And
whanne

And
made

And
therfor

And

And
whanne

he
made
Eutrope

And
he
repreuyd
sharpely
many
men
for

causes
/
And
therfor
he
was
hateful
to

/
And
Theophyle
Bisshop

wolde
haue
deposed
Iohan
Crysostome

&
wolde
haue

And
therfor
he
sought
dyly
gently

And
the
peple
that
were
fedde
merueylously
with
the
doctryne
of
saynt
Iohan

defended
hym
strongly
/
And
Iohan
Crysostom
constrayned
the
preestes
to

after
the
hooly
ordynaunces
of
holy
chirche
And
sayd
that
they
shold
not
vse

honour
of

/
For
they
despised
the
lyf
of
a
preest

and
wold
not
folowe

/
And
Iohan
gouerned
not
only
the
Bisshopryche
of

but
he
ordeyned
to
other
prouynces
by
auctoryte
af

And
thenne
when

he

thyder
Monkes

&
made
them
destroye
alle
the
Temples
of

/
In
that

tyme
was
a
man
whiche
was
made
maystre
of

and
was
named
Gannas

of
the

of

barbaryen

whiche
strongly
was
lyfte
vp

and
by

was
corrupt
of

Areyenne

And
that

wold

a

within

for

And
whanne

Crysostome
for
to

whiche
was
stronge
in

promyse

And
drede

be
called

/
And
take
hede

what
shal

For
I
shalle
soo
refrayne
hym
that
he
shalle
no
more
dare
demaunde
suche

/
And
whanne
th
emperour
herd
this
/
he
was
glad
/
and
the
nexte
day
he
dyd
doo
calle
that
one
and
that
other
And
as
an
oratour
requyred
for
hym
/
Iohan
said
/
the

of
god
is
open
in
euery
place
to
the

where
as
no
man
is
warned
to
adoure

praye
/
And
he
sayd
I
am
of
another
lawe
Make
requeste
that
I
may
haue
a
temple
for
my self
/
For
I
haue
emprysed
many
trauaylles
for
the
comyn
prouffyte
of
Rome
/
And
therfor
I
oughte
not
to
be
warned
of
my
peticyon
/
And
Iohan
sayd
to
hym
thou
hast
receyued
many
rewardes
/
whiche
amounte
more
than
thy

/
and
hast
ben
made
maister
of

And

and
what
clothynge
thow
vsedest

&
what

And
by
cause
that
a

haue
gyuen
to
the
soo
grete
rewardes
/
be
not
now
disagreable
to
hym
/
that

And
by
suche
maner
wordes
he
stopped
his

constrayned
to

And
〈◊〉
saynt
Iohan
gouerned
nobly

And

were
armed

chaced

And
whan
they
had
tolde
to
theyr

that
whiche
was
happed

he
merueyled
strongly
/
For
he
knewe
well
that
the
hooste

And
thenne
he
sente

And

And
for

somme
toke

the
whiche

grete
wylle
/
and
ryght
grete
desyre
/
And
also
it
was
grete
by
reason
of
seruys
For
this
feste
was
demonstraunce
of
grete
mysterye
/
which
mysterye
the
gl●se
expowneth
vpon
saynt
Luc
sayenge
he
that
receyued
our
lord
Ihesu
Cryst
in
his
hows
was
fedde
withinforth
plentyuously
of
gretter
thynges
/
than
the
other
/
that
is
to
wete
of
del●ctacions
/
of
good
maners
/
and
of
good
delytes
/
And
after
he
was
greete
by
reason
of
his
enseygnementis
/
For
he
shewed
grete
techynges
and
doctrynes
And
this
was
of
grete
mercy
by
desyre
/
and
not
by
sacrifise
/
as
he
said
Misericordiam
volo
et
non
sacrificium
/
etcetera
/
And
also
they
that
ben
hoole
/
nede
no
leche
/
and
so
it
was
grete
/
for
there
was
Ihesu
Criste
and
his
disciples
/
The
third
is
humylite
/
whiche
appierid
to
hym
in
two
thynges
/
first
he
shewed
hym
a
publican
/
the
other
euangelistes
as
saith
the
glose
/
by
cause
of
shame
/
and
for
the
honour
of
th
euangelist
they
set
not
their
comyn
name
/
but
as
it
is
wreton
/
the
Iuste
is
fyrst
accuser
of
hym self
/
And
Mathewe
named
hym self
publican
first
/
by
cause
/
that
he
shewed
that
none
conuertid
ought
not
mystruste
of
helthe
/
lyke
as
he
was
made
of
a
publican
an
Appostle
and
euangelist
/
Secondly
/
by
cause
he
was
pacyent
in
his
iniuryes
/
For
whanne
the
Phariseis
murmured
that
Ihesu
crist
was
descended
to
a
man
synnar
/
Mathewe
myght
haue
answerd
/
ye
ben
more
wicked
&
more
synful
that
wene
ye
be
Iuste
/
&
reffuse
the
leche
/
for
I
maye
nomore
be
said
synnar
/
that
am
gone
to
the
leche
of
helthe
/
&
hyde
not
my
synne
/
ne
wounde
/
The
fourth
is
the
grete
solempnyte
of
hym
in
the
Chirche
of
his
Gospellys
/
his
gospellis
ben
ofte
and
more
vsed
in
the
chirche
/
than
the
other
euangelystes
/
lyke
as
the
psalmes
of
dauyd
/
&
th
epystles
of
powle
ben
reherced
before
other
scriptures
/
whiche
ben
more
ofter
recited
in
the
chirche
/
And
this
is
the
reson
/
that
Iames
witnessith
that
ther
ben
thre
maner
of
synnes
that
is
to
wete
/
the
synne
of

of
Lecherye
/
and
of
auarice

In
the

synne
of

Dauyd

For

th
aduoultrye

And
Mathewe
synned
in
the
synne
of
●uarice
/
for
for
coueitous
he
medled
hym
of
vylaynous
gayn
/
For
he
was
in
a
porte
of
the
see
/
where
he
receyued
the
tolle
and
customme
of
shippes
&
marchaundises
/
and
how
be
it
that
they
were
synners
/
yet
alweye
oure
lord
tooke
their
penaunce
in
gree
/
and
was
plesid
ther
with
/
so
that
he
pardonned
them
not
only
their
synnes
/
but
multyplyed
in
them
his
yeftes
of
grace
/
For
hym
that
was
a
ryght
cruel
persecutour
/
he
made
a
ryght
trewe
prechour
/
And
hym
that
hadde
be
auoulterer
and
homycide
he
made
a
prophete
/
And
hym
that
coueyted
so
vylaynous
gayne
/
he
made
appostle
and
euangelist
/
And
therfor
these
forsayd
thre
ben
ofte
recited
/
that
no
man
that
wold
be
conuertid
shold
haue
dispair
of
pardon
/
when
suche
that
were
in
so
grete
synne
he
beholdeth
to
haue
ben
in
so
grete
grace
/
And
it
is
to
be
considered
/
that
after

That

In

Thenne

when

And
this

was

soo

that
they
cam

And
that
the

hadde
ouercomen

Thenne
this

was
enuyronned
with
grete
clerenesse

And
as
Bede
sayth

one
of

sayd

Thenne
he
torned

foure
fyres

these
ben
foure
fyres

that
one
is
the
fyre
of
lesynges

For
in

al
promyse
to
renounce
the
deuylle
and
al
his

/
And
they
accomplysshe
hit
not

The
second
is
of
couetyse
/
that
is
when
the
rychesse
of
the
world
is
sette
to

heuenly
thynges

The
thyrd
is
of

that
when
men

not
offende
theyr

vicious
thynges

The

is
of

poure
by

as
by
extorcyon

for

And
after
these
fyres
assembled
to

And
he
approched
to

and
doubted

was

And
the

This

For
this

And
lyke
as
the

brenne
by

not

right
so
brenneth
the

by

due

And
at
the

the

was
brought

And

To

For

And
the

The

And

And
the
fyrst
is
in

And
that

Thirdly

The

For

wherfor
they
wepte

Thyrdly
in
bryngynge
strength
for

And
this
is

The

And

And

And

The

We

And

For

On

And
whan

more
late
than

without

they
supposid
that
by
constraint
of

he
had
eten
the

&
wold
not

And
by

th●y
doubted

&
they
fonde

It

And

And

And

At

And
many

soo
that
they
enlarged

And

first
named
Iohan

but
after
his

was
chaunged
/
and
was
called
Fraunceys
/
The
cause
of
chaungynge
of
his
name
was
manyfold
/
Fyrst
for
the
reason
of
his
merueylous
chaungynge
/
For
it
is
knowen
that
he
receyued
of
God
by
myracle
the
frensshe
tongue

And
it
is
sayd
in

that
whanne

was
replenysshed
of
the
grace
of

and
of
th
ardoure
of
the
hooly
ghooste
he
pronounced
oute
brennynge
wordes
in
Frensshe
/
Secondly
by
the
reason
to
publysshe
his
offyce
/
wherof
is
sayd
in

/
that
the
dyuyne
prouyden
gaf
to
hym
that
name
by
cause
of
hym
synguler
/
And
is
acustomed
name
/
th
oppynyon
of
this
mysterye
was
knowen
thorugh
oute
alle
the
world
/
Thyrdly
by
reason
of
his
offyce
in
effect
/
wheruppon
was
gyuen
to
vnderstonde
that
by
hym
/
and
by
his
sones
he
shold
make
many
seruauntes
of
the
deuylle
and
bonde
to
synne
free
/
Fourthly
by
reason
of
grete
courage
/
and
magnanymyte
of
herte
/
For
frensshe
men
ben
sayd
of
fyersnes
/
For
in

is
naturell
fyersnes
and
grete
c●rage
of

Fyftly
by
reason
of
the
vertuosyte
in
spekynge
/
For
his
word
keruyd
awaye
the
vyces
lyke
an
axe
Sixtely
by
reason
that
he
chaced
awey
comnnely
the

Seuenthly
by
reason
of
honeste
in
his
conuersacyon

&
of
perfection
of
werke

And
it
is
said

On

For

And

And
by

that

was
ryghtfully
ordeyned
in

four
maners
For

face
of

it
is
shewed
/
that
he
was
ryghtfully
ordeyned
/
as
touchyng
his

how
he
ought
by

for

is
a
best
resonoble
/
debonayre
and
lyberalle
/
by
the
face
of
an
Egle
it
is
shewed
that
he
was
ryghtfully
redeyned
/
as
towchyng
god
/
For
in
hym
the
eye
of
vnderstandynge
beheld
god
by
contemplacion
/
and
the
eye
of
his
desyre
was
to
hym
by
thought
or
effecte
/
And
olde
age
Was
put
awey
by
newe
conuersacion
/
The
Egle
is
of
sharp
syght
/
soo
that
he
beholdeth
well
wythoute
moeuyng
of
his
eye
the
raye
of
the
sonne
/
And
whan
he
is
merueylous
hyghe
in
the

/
he
seeth
wel
the
smale
fysshes
in

moche
croked

soo
that
he
is
lette
to

/
he
sharpeth
it
/
and
whetteth
it
ageynst
a
stone
/
and
maketh
it
couenable
to
the
vsage
of
his

/
And
whanne
he
is
rosted
by

sonne
/
he
throweth

/
By
the
face
of
the
lyon
it
is
shewed
how
he
was
ordeyned
as
towchyng
hym self
/
For
he
hadde
noblesse
by
honeste
of
maners
/
and
holy
conuersacion
/
he
hadde
subtylytee
for
t
eschewe
the
lyggynge
in

And
he
had
suffraunce
for
to
haue
pyte
on
them
/
that
were
tormentid
by
afflyctyon
/
The
lyon
is
a
noble
best
/
For
he
is
kynge
of
beestes
/
he
is
subtyll
/
he
defaceth
his
traces
and
stappes
wyth
his
taille
whan
he
fleeth
/
so
that
he
sholde
not
be

/
he
is
suffryng
/
For
he
suffryth
the
quartayne
/
By
the
face
of
an
oxe
/
hit
is
shewed
/
how
he
was
ordeyned
as
touchyng
his
offyce
/
that
was
to
wryte
the
gospell
/
For
he
proceded
morally
/
that
is
to
saye
by
moralyte
/
that
he
beganne
fro
the
natyuyte
/
and
childhode
of
Ihesu
Cryst
And
so
proceded
lytell
and
lytell
vnto
his
last
consummacion
/
he
beganne
discretely
/
And
that
was
after
other
two
euangelistes
that
yf
they
had
lefte
ony
thynge
/
he
shold
wryte
hit
/
And
that
whiche
they
had
suffycyently
sayd
/
he
shold
leue
/
he
was
wel
manerd
/
that
is
to
saye
wel
lerned
and
enduced
in
the
sacrefyses
and
werkes
of
the
temple
/
as
it
appiereth
in
the
begynnyng
/
in
the
myddle
/
and
in
the
end
/
The
Oxe
is
a
moralle
beest
/
and
hath
his
foote
clouen
/
by
whiche
is
discrecion
vnderstanden
/
and
it
is
a
best
sacrefysable
/
And
truly
how
that
Luke
was
ordeygned
in
the
foure
thynges
hit
is
better
shewed
in
the
ordynaunce
of
his
lyf
/
Fyrste
as
towchynge
his
ordenaunce
vnto
god
/
After
saynt
Bernard
he
was
ordeyned
in
thre
maners
/
that
is
by
affection
and
desyre
/
by
thought
and
Intencion
/
th
affection
ought
to
be
holy
/
the
thought
clene
/
And
entencion
ryghtfull
/
he
hadde
the
affection
holy
/
For
he
was
fulle
of
the
hooly
ghoost
/
lyke
as
Iheromme
sayth
in
his
prologue
vpon
Luke
/
he
wente
in
to
Bythynye
fulle
of
the
hooly
ghoost
/
Secondly
he
hadde
a
clene
thoughte
/
For
he
was
a
vyrgyne
in
body
and
mynde
/
in
whiche
is
noted
clennesse
of
thought
/
Thirdly
he
had
ryghtfull
intencion
/
For
in
alle
thynges
that
he
dyd
he
sought
the
honoure
of
god
/
And
of
these
two
last
thynges
it
is
sayd
in
the
prologue
vpon
th
actes
of
Appostles
/
he
was
with
oute
synne
/
and
abode
in
vyrgynyte
/
&
this
is
touchyng
the
clennesse
of
thought
/
he
louyd
best
to
serue
oure
lord
/
That
is
to
the
honour
of
our
lord
/
This
is
as
to
wchyng
the
ryghtfulle
intencion
/
Fourthly
/
he
was
ordeyned
as
towchyng
his
neyghbour
/
we
ben
ordeyned
to
our
neyghbour
/
whan
we
doo
that
we
ought
to
do
/
After
Rychard
of
saynt
Victour
/
ther
ben
thre
thynges
that
we
owe
to
our
neyghbour
/
that
is
our
power
/
oure
knowlege
/
and
our
wylle
/
and
late
the
fourth
be
put
to
/
that
is
/
alle
that
we
may
doo
/
Our
power
in
helpyng

/
our
knoulege
in
counceylyng

/
Oure
wylle
in
his
desyres
/
and
our
dedes
in
seruyses
/
As
towchyng
to
these
foure
/
saynt
Luke
was
ordeyned
/
For
he
gaf
fyrst
to
his
neyghbour
/
his
power
in
aydynge
/
and
obsequyes
/
And
that
appiereth
by
that
he
was
ioyned
to
pawle
in
his
trybulacions
/
and
wold
not
departe
fro
hym
/
but
was
helpyng
hym
in
his
prechynges
/
lyke
as
it
is
wreton
in
the
Epystle
of
pawle
in
the
second
chapytre
to
Thymothee
sayeng
/
luke
is
only
with
me
/
In
that
he
sayth
only
wyth
me
/
hit
sygnyfyeth
that
he
was
an
helpar
/
as
that
he
gaf
to
hym
comforte
&
ayde
/
And
in
that
he
sayd
only
/
it
signyfyeth
that
he
ioyned
to
hym
fermely
And
he
sayd
in
the
eygthe
Chapytre
/
to
the
Corynthyens
/
he
is
not
allone
/
but
he
is
ordeyned
of
the
Chirches
to
be
felawe
of
our
pylgremage
/
Secondly
/
he
gaf
his
knowlege
to
his
neyghbour
in
counceylles
/
he
gaf
thenne
his
knowlege
to
his
neyghbour
/
whan
he
wrote
to
his
neyghbours
the
doctryne
of
thappostles
and
of
the
gospell
that
he
knewe
/
And
herof
he
berith
hym self
wytnes
in
his
prologue
sayenge
/
it
is
myn
auys
/
and
I
assente
good
thephyle
to
wryte
to
the
ryght
well
of
the
begynnynge
by
ordre
/
soo
that
thou
knowe
the
trouthe
of
the
wordes
/
of
whiche
thou
arte
taught
/
And
it
appyrreth
well
that
he
gaf
his
knowlege
in
counceyls
to
his
neyghbours
by
the
wordes
that
Iheromme
sayth
in
his
prologue
/
that
is
to
wete
/
that
his
wordes
ben
medecyne
vnto
a
seke
sowle
/
Thyrdly
he
gaf
his
wylle
vnto
the
desyres
of
his
neyghbour
/
And
that
appyereth
by
that
/
that
he
desyreth
/
that
they
shold
haue
helthe
perdurable
/
lyke
as
pawle
sayth
to
the
Colocenses
/
Luke
the
leche
saleweth
yow
/
that
is
to
saye
/
thynke
ye
to
haue
helthe
perdurable
/
for
he
desyreth
it
to
yow
/
Fourthly
he
gaf
to
his
neyghbour
his
dede
in
their
seruyses
/
And
it
appiereth
by
that
/
that
he
supposed
that
oure
lord
had
be
a
straunge
man
/
and
he
receyued
hym
in
to
his
hows
/
and
dyde
to
hym
alle
the
seruyse
of
charyte
/
For
he
was
felawe
to
Cleophas
whan
they
wente
to
Emaus
/
as
somme
saye
/
And
Gregorye
sayth
in
his
morallys
that
Ambrose
sayth
/
it
was
another
of
whome
he
nameth
the
name
/
Thyrdyly
/
he
was
well
ordeyned
/
as
touchyng
hym self
¶
And
after
saynt
Bernard
thre
thynges
ther
ben
that
ordeyne
a
man
ryght
well
as
touchynge
hym self
/
and
maketh
hym
holy
/
that
is
to
lyue
sobyrly
/
and
ryghtful
labour
/
and
a
debonayr
wytte
/
And
after
saynt
Bernard
eche
of
these
thre
is
deuyded
in
to
thre
/
that
is
to
lyue
sobyrly
yf
we
haue
compaynably
contynently
/
and
humbly
/
Ryghtfull
werke
is
/
yf
he
be
ryghtfull
/
discrete
/
&
fruytfull
/
Ryghtfull
by
good
entencion
/
Discrete
by
mesure
/
and
fruytfulle
by
edyfycacion
/
The
wytte
is
debonayre
whan
oure
fayth
feleth
god
to
be
souerayne
good
/
So
that
by
his
puyssaunce
we
byleue
/
that
our
Infyrmyte
be
holpen
by
his
power
/
our
ygnoraunce
be
corrected
by
his
wysedome
/
And
that
oure
wickednes
be
diffaced
by
his
bounte
/
And
thus
sayth
Bernard
/
In
all
these
thynges
was
saynt
Luke
well
ordeyned
/
He
hadde
fyrst
sobre
lyuynge
in
treble
manere
/
For
he
lyued
contynently
/
¶
For
as
saynt
Iheromme
wytnessith
of
hym
in
the
prolologue
vpon
Luke
/
he
hadde
neuer
wyfne
chyldren
/
he
lyued
compaynably
/
&
that
is
signefyed
of
hym
where
it
is
sayd
of
hym
and
Cleophas
in
th
oppynyon
afore
sayd
/
Two
disciples
wente
that
same
day
et
cetera
/
Felauship
is
signyfyed
in
that
he
saith
two
disciples
that
is
to
saye
well
manerd
/
Thyrdly
he
lyued
humbly
/
of
whiche
humylyte
is
shewed
of
that
he
expressyd
the
name
of
his
felawe
Cleophas
/
and
spak
not
of
his
owne
name
/
And
after
th
oppynyon
of
some
Luke
named
not
his
name
for
mekenes
/
Secondly
/
he
had
ryghtful
werke
and
dede
/
and
his
werke
was
ryghtfull
by
Intencion
/
And
that
is
sygnefyed
in
his
collecte
where
hit
is
sayd
Carnis
mortificacionem
ingiter
in
corpore
suo
pro
tui
nominis
amore
portauit
/
he
bare
in
his
body
mortificacion
of
his
flesshe
for
the
loue
of
thy
name
/
he
was
discrete
by
at
temperaunce
/
And
therfor
he
was
fygured
in
the
forme
of
an
oxe
/
whiche
hath
the
foote
clouen
/
by
whiche
the
vertu
of
discrecion
is
expressyd
/
he
was
also
fruytful
by
edificacion
/
he
was
soo
fruytfull
to
his
neyghbours
that
he
was
holden
moost
dere
of
all
men
/
Wherfor
ad
Colocenses
quarto
He
was
callyd
of
th
oppostle
moost
derest
Luke
the
leche
saleweth
yow
/
Thyrdly
he
had
a
meke
wytte
/
For
he
byleuyd
and
confessyd
in
his
gospel
god
to
be
soueraynly
myghty
/
soueraynly
wyse
/
&
soueraynly
good
/
Of
two
the
fyrst
it
is
said
in
the
iiij
chappytre
/
They
all
were
abasshed
in
his
doctryne
/
For
the
word
of
hym
was
in
his
power
/
And
of
the
thirde
/
it
appyerith
in
the
xviij
chapytre
where
he
saith
/
ther
is
none
good
/
but
god
allone
/
Fourthly
and
last
he
was
ryght
wel
ordeyned
/
as
touchyng
his
offyce
/
the
whiche
was
to
wryte
the
gospel
/
and
in
this
appierith
that
he
was
ordeyned
by
cause
that
the
said
gospell
is
enoblysshed
with
moche
trouthe
/
hit
is
ful
of
moche
prouffyte
/
hit
is
embelysshed
with
moche
honeste
/
And
auctorysed
by
grete
auctoryte
/
It
is
fyrste
ennoblysshed
with
moche
trouthe
/
For
ther
ben
thre
trouthes
/
that
is
of
lyf
/
of
ryghtwysnes
/
and
of
doctryne
/
Trouthe
of
lyf
is
concordaunce
of
the
honde
to
the
tongue
/
Trouthe
of
ryghtwysnes
is
concordaunce
of
the
sentence
to
the
cause
/
And
trouthe
of
doctryne
is
concordaunce
of
the
thyng
to
the
vnderstandyng
/
And
the
gospell
is
ennoblysshed
by
this
treble
veryte
/
And
that
this
treble
veryte
is
shewed
in
the
gospel
/
luke
sheweth
that
Ihesu
Cryste
had
in
hym
this
treble
veryte
/
And
that
he
taught
it
to
other
/
and
sheweth
that
god
hadde
this
trouthe
by
the
wytnes
of
his
aduersaryes
/
And
that
sayth
he
in
the
xxvij
Chappytre
/
Mayster
we
knowe
well
/
that
thou
arte

that
is
the

doctryne

but
thow
techest
in
trouthe
the
way
of
god
/
that
is
the
trouthe
of
lyf
For
good
lyf
is
the
waye
of
god
/
Secondly
he
sheweth
in
his
Gospelle
/
that
Ihesu
Criste
taught
this
treble
trouthe
/
Fyrste
he
taught
the
trouth
of
lyf
/
the
whiche
is
in
kepynge
the
commaundementes
of
god
/
wherof
hit
is
sayd
/
thou
shalt
loue
thy
lord
God
/
Doo
that
/
And
thou
shalt
lyue
/
And
whanne
a
pharysee
demaunded
oure
lord
/
what
shalle
I
doo
for
to
possede
the
euerlastyng
lyf·
And
he
sayd
/
knowest
thou
not
the
commaundementes
Thow
shalt
not
slee
/
thow
shalt
do
no
thefte
/
ne
thou
shalt
doo
no
aduoultry
Secondly
there
is
taughte
the
veryte
of
doctryne
/
wherfor
he
sayd
to
somme
/
that
peruertid
this
trouth
the
enleuenth
chapytre
/
Woo
be
to
yow
pharisees
that
tythe
the
peple
et

/
and
passe
ouer
the
Iugement
and
charite
of
God
/
Also
in
the
same
/
woo
be
to
yow
wysemen
of
lawe
/
whiche
haue
taken
the
keye
of
scyence
/
Thirdly
is
taught
the
trouthe
of
ryghtwysnes
where
hit
is
sayd
/
yelde
ye
that
longeth
to
th
emperour
/
And
that
ye
owe
to
god
to
god
And
he
seyth
the
xix
Chapytre
/
They
that
ben
myn
enemyes
/
and
wyl
not
that
I
regne
vpon
them
/
bryng
them
hether
/
and
slee
them
to
fore
me
/
And
he
saithe
in
the
thyrtenthe
chapytre
/
where
he
speketh
of
the
dome
/
that
he
shal
saye
to
them
that
ben
repreuyd
departe
fro
me
ye
that
haue
done
wyckednes
/
Secondly
/
his
gospel
is
ful
of
moche
prouffite
/
wherof
Powle
and
hym self
wryte
that
he
was
a
leche
or
a
phisicyen
/
wherfore
in
his
gospel
hit
is
signyfyed
/
that
he
made
redy
for
vs
medycyne
moost
prouffytable
/
Ther
is
treble
medycyne
/
Curyng
preseruyng
and
amendynge
/
And
this
treble
medycyne
sheweth
saynt
Luke
in
his
gospelle
/
that
the
leche
celestyall
hath
made
redy
/
The
medycyn
curynge
is
that
/
whiche
cureth
the
maladye
/
and
that
is
penaunce
/
whiche
taketh
awey
alle
maladyes
spyrytuell
/
And
thys
nedycyne
sayth
he
/
that
the
celestyall
leche
hath
made
redy
for
vs
/
whan
he
sayth
/
Hele
ye
them
/
that
be
contryte
of
herte
/
And
preche
ye
to
the
caytyues
the
remyssion
of
synnes
/
And
in
the
fyfthe
chapytre
he
sayth
/
I
am
not
come
to
calle
the
Iuste
and
trewe
men
/
but
the
synners
to
penaunce
/
¶
The
Medycyne
amendyng
is
that
encreaceth
helthe
/
And
that
is
the
obseruacion
of
counseylle
/
For
good
counceyll
maketh
a
man
better
and
more
parfyghte
/
This
Medecyne
sheweth
vs
the
heuenly
leche
whan
he
saith
in
the
eyghtenth
chapytre
/
Selle
all
that
euer
thou
hast
and
gyue
to
poure
men
/
The
medecyne
preseruatyf
/
is
that
whiche
preserueth
fro
fallyng
/
And
thys
is
theschewyng
of
th
occasions
to
synne
/
and
fro
euylle
companye
/
And
this
medecyne
sheweth
to
vs
the
heuenly
leche
whan
he
sayth
in
the
twellfth
chappytre
/
kepe
yow
fro
the
mete
of
the
pharysees
/
&
there
he
techeth
vs
t
eschewe
the
companyes
of
shrewes
and
euylle
men
/
Or
it
may
be
sayd
that
the
sayd
Gospel
is
replenysshed
with
moche
prouffyte
/
by
cause
that
all
vertue
is
contyened
therin
/
And
herof
sayth
saynt
Ambrose
/
luke
compryseth
in
his
Gospell
alle
the
vertues
of
wysedome
in
hystorye
/
he
enseigned
the
natyuyte
/
whan
he
shewed
th
yncarnacion
of
our
lord
to
haue
be
made
of
the
hooly
ghost
But
Dauyd
enseygned
naturell
wysedome
when
he
sayd
/
Sende
oute
the
holy
ghoost
/
and
they
shalle
be
created
And
whan
he
enseygned
derkenes
/
made
in
the
tyme
of
the
passion
of
Ihesu
Cryst
/
and
tremblyng
of
the
erthe
And
the
sonne
had
wythdrawen
her
lyght
and
rayes
/
And
he
taught
moralyte
whan
he
taught
maners
in
his
blessidnes
/
he
taught
resonable
thynges
whan
he
sayd
/
he
that
is
trewe
in
lytel
thynges
/
he
is
trewe
in
grete
thynges
/
And
withoute
this
treble
wysedome
/
the
mysterye
of
the
Trynyte
ne
of
our
faithe
may
not
be
/
that
is
to
wete
Wysedome
naturelle
/
Resonable
/
and
Moralle
/
And
this
is
that
saynt
Ambrose
sayth
/
Thyrdly
/
His
gospell
is
embelysshed
and
made
fayre
wyth
moche
honeste
/
soo
that
the
style
and
manere
of
spekyng
is
moche
honeste
and
faire
And
thre
thynges
be
conuenyent
to
this
that
somme
men
holde
in
his
dictes
honeste
and
beaute
/
the
whiche
saynt
Austyn
techeth
/
That
is
to
wete
/
that
it
please
that
it
appyere
and
moeue
/
that
it
please
/
he
ought
to
speke
ornatly
/
that
it
appyere
that
he
ought
to
speke
apertly
/
that
it
moeue
that
he
speke
feruently
/
And
this
maner
hadde
Lucas
in
wrytyng
and
in
prechyng
/
Of
two
the
fyrst
hit
is
sayd
in
the
viij
Chapytre
to
the
Corynthyens
/
We
sente
with
hym
a
broder
/
the
glose
/
Barnabe
or
Luke
/
of
whome
the
praysynge
is
in
al
Chirches
of
the
gospell
/
In
this
that
he
sayd
the
praysyng
of
hym
is
sygnefyed
/
that
he
spak
ornatly
/
in
this
that
he
sayde
in
alle
Chirches
/
hit
is
signefyed
/
that
he
spak
apertly
/
And
that
he
spak
feruently
hit
appieryd
whanne
he
sayd
/
was
not
thenne
oure
herte
brennyng
within
vs
in
the
loue
of
Ihesu
whanne
he
spake
wyth
vs
in
the
waye
/
Fourthly
his
gospelle
is
auctorysed
by
Auctoryte
of
many
sayntes
/
What
merueyle
was
it
though
it
were
auctorysed
of
many
/
whan
it
was
auctorysed
fyrst
of
the
fader
/
wherof
Iheromye
seyth
in
the
xxxj
Chappytre
/
Lo
the
dayes
shalle
come
our
lord
saith
/
I
shal
make
a
newe
couenaunt
with
the
hous
of
Israell
and
of
Iuda
/
not
after
the
couenaunt
that
I
made
with
theyre
faders
but
this
shal
be
the
couenaunt
saith
oure
lord
/
I
shalle
gyue
my
lawe
in
to
the
bowellys
of
them
/
And
he
speketh
playnly
to
the
letter
of
doctryne
of
the
Gospel
/
Secondly
hit
is
enforced
of
the
Sonne
/
For
he
sayth
in
the
same
Gospel
the
one
and
twentyest
Chapytre
/
Heuen
and
erthe
shal
passe
/
And
my
word
shal
not
perysshe
/
Thirdly
he
is
enspyred
of
the
holy
ghoost
/
wherof
saint
Iheromme
sayth
in
his
prologue
vpon
Luke
/
He
wrote
this
gospel
in
the
partyes
of
Achaye
by
admonestment
of
the
hooly
ghost
/
¶
Fourthly
he
was
to fore
fygured
of
the
Angels
/
For
he
was
prefygured
of
the
same
Aungel
Of
whome
th
appostle
sayth
in
the
xiiij
Chapytre
/
I
sawe
the
Angel
fleyng
by
the
myddes
of
heuen
/
And
had
the
gospel
perdurable
/
This
is
sayd
perdurable
/
For
it
is
made
perdurable
/
that
is
of
Ihesu
Cryst
/
Fyfthly
the
Gospel
was
pronounced
of
the
prophetes
/
that
Ezechyel
the
prophete
pronounced
to
for
this
Gospel
Whan
he
sayd
that
one
of
these
beestes
shold
haue
the
face
of
an
oxe
/
wherfor
the
gospel
of
Luke
is
signefyed
/
as
it
is
said
to
fore
/
And
whan
Ezechyel
seid
in
the
second
Chapytre
/
that
he
had
sene
the
book
that
was
wreton
without
and
within
/
In
whiche
was
wreton
the
lamentacion
songe
/
¶
By
this
booke
is
vnderstonde
the
gospel
of
Luke
that
is
wreton
within
for
to
hyde
the
mysterye
of
profoundenesse
/
and
withoute
for
the
shewynge
of
t
hystory
In
whiche
also
ben
conteyned
the
lamentacion
of
the
passion
/
the
Ioye
of
the
resurection
/
and
the
woo
of
the
eternal
dampnacion
/
as
it
appieryth
the
xj
Chapytre
/
where
many
woes
ben
putte
Sixtly
the
gospel
was
shewed
of
the
vyrgyne
/
For
the
blessyd
vyrgyne
marye
kepte
and
heled
dylygently
al
these
thynges
in
her
herte
/
as
it
is
sayd
Luce
secundo
/
to
the
ende
that
she
shold
afterward
shewe
them
to
the
wrytars
as
the
glose
sayth
/
that
alle
thynges
/
that
were
done
and
sayd
of
oure
lord
Ihesu
cryst
/
she
knewe
and
reteyned
them
in
her
mynde
/
So
that
when
she
was
requyred
of
the
wrytars
or
of
the
prechers
of
th
yncarnacion
/
and
of
al
other
thynges
she
myght
expresse
them
suffycyently
lyke
as
it
was
done
/
and
were
in
dede
/
wherof
seynt
Bernard
assygneth
the
reason
why
the
Aungel
of
our
lord
shewed
to
the
blessyd
vyrgyne
the
conceyuyng
of
Elyzabeth
/
The
conceyuynge
of
Elyzabeth
was
shewed
to
Marye
by
cause
of
the
comynge
now
of
oure
sauyour
/
and
now
of
his
messager
that
cam
to
fore
hym
/
The
cause
why
she
reteyned
the
ordynaunce
of
these
thynges
was
by
cause
that
she
myght
the
better
shewe
to
wrytars
and
prechours
the
trouthe
of
the
Gospel
/
This
is
she
that
fully
fro
the
begynnyng
was
Instruct
of
the
celestyal
mysteryes
/
And
it
is
to
be
byleuyd
that
theuangelystes
enquyred
of
her
many
thynges
/
And
she
certyfyed
them
truly
/
And
specially
that
the
blessyd
Luke
had
recours
to
her
/
lyke
as
to
the
Arke
of
the
testament
/
And
was
certyfyed
of
her
many
thynges
/
And
specially
of
suche
thynges
/
as
apperteyned
to
her
/
as
of
the
salutacion
of
the
Angel
Gabryel
/
of
the
natyuyte
of
Ihesu
Cryst
/
and
of
suche
other
thynges
/
as
Luke
speketh
only
/
¶
Seuenthly
the
Gospel
was
shewed
of
the
Appostles
/
For
Luke
had
not
ben
with
Cryste
in
alle
his
actes
and
myracles
/
therfore
he
wrote
his
gospel
/
after
that
thappostles
that
had
ben
present
shewed
and
reported
to
hym
lyke
as
he
sheweth
in
his
prologue
sayenge
/
lyke
as
they
that
hadde
sene
hym
fro
the
begynnynge
/
and
had
ben
mynystres
with
hym
/
and
herd
his
wordes
enformed
and
told
to
me
/
And
by
cause
hit
is
accustomme
in
double
maner
to
bere
wytnesse
/
It
is
of
thynges
sene
/
and
of
thynges
herde
/
Therfor
sayth
saynt
Austyn
/
oure
lord
wold
haue
two
witnesses
of
thynges
sene
/
they
were
Iohan
and
Mathewe
/
And
two
of
thynges
herd
/
and
they
were
marke
and
Luke
/
And
by
cause
that
the
wytnesse
of
thynges
sene
ben
more
ferme
and
more
certayne
than
of
thynges
herde
/
Therfor
saith
saynt
Augustyn
/
¶
The
two
gospels
that
ben
of
thynges
sene
/
ben
sette
fyrst
and
last
/
And
the
other
that
ben
of
herynge
ben
sette
in
the
myddle
/
lyke
as
they
were
the
strenger
and
more
certeyne
of
/
and
by
the
other
tweyne
/
Eyghtly
/
this
gospel
is
merueylously
approuyd
of
saynt
Powle
/
whanne
he
bryngeth
the
Gospel
of
Luke
to
the
confirmacion
of
his
sayenges
/
and
dictes
/
wherof
saynt
Ieromme
sayth
in
the
booke
of
noble

/
That
somme

Saynt

Secundum
euangelium
meum
/
that
is
after
my
Gospel
/
that
is
sygnefyed
the
volume
of
Luke
/
And
he
approuyd
his
gospell
/
whan
he
wrote
of
hym
/
Secundo
ad
Coryntheos
octauo
/
of
whome
the
laude
and
praysynge
is
in
the
gospell
in
all
the

It
is
redde
in
t
hystorye
of
Antyoche
that
the
Crysten

But
whan
they
were

A

full
of

in
whyte
vestymentes
appyeryd
to
a
man
that
woke
in
the
chirche
of
oure
lady
of
Trypolyn
/
And
whan
he
demaunded
hym
who
he
was

he
sayde
/
that
he
was
Luk
that
cam
fro
Antyoche

where
our

had
assemblyd
the
chyualrye
of

And

wold

And
there
subdued

that
they
hadde

And
by

They
made
a

Temple
more
merueylous
and
hyhe
than
alle

/
And
for
to
shewe
the
more
their

They
dedyed
this
Temple
in

And
more
for
to
deceyue
the

the

fayned
that
it
had
ben
commaunded
to

of

And
they

of

And
by
cause
they
wold
haue
victory
of
alle

/
therfore
they
made
a
grete
Temple
to
alle
the

of

And
the

was
cast

And
dyd

they

to

It

the

establysshed

neclygences

For
how
be
hit
/
that
we
halowe
the
festes
of
a
fewe
sayntes
/
yet
we
kepe
them
neclygently
of
tymes
/
and
leue
many
thynges
vndon
by
ygnoraunce
/
and
by
neclygence
/
And
yf
we
haue
not
solempnysed
ony
festes
/
as
we
ought
to
do
but
neclygently
/
Now
in
this
generall
feste
we
ought
to
fulfylle
and
amende
it
/
and
purge
vs
of
oure
neclygence
/
And
this
reason
is
touchyd
in
a
sermon

that
is
recited
this
day
in

And
hit
is
ordeyned

that
at
this

memorye
is
made
of
alle

that
what
someuer
fragylyte
humayne
hath
done
lasse
than
he
ought
/
by
ygnoraunce
/
by
neclygence
/
or
by
occupacion
of
seculer
thynges
in
the
solempnyte
of
sayntes
/
that
hit
be
appeased
in
th
obseruacion
of
this
holy
feest
/
It
is
to
be
noted
/
that
there
be
four
differences
of
the
sayntes
/
that
we
honoure
by
the
cours
of
the
yere
/
whiche
ben
of
the
newe
testament
/
of
whom
on
this
day
we
gadre
to
gyder
for
taccomplisshe
that
whiche
we
haue
neclygently
done
/
that
ben
thappostles
martirs
/
confessours
and
vyrgyns
/
And
after
Rabane
/
these
foure
ben
sygnefyed
by

foure

By

that

thappostles

by

the

By

nor●he
the

And
by

The
fyrst
difference
is
of
thappostles

Of
whom
th
excellence
is
magnyfested

by
cause
they
surmounte

For

wherof

Secondly
they

And
therfor

their

that
is

full

And
of

what

And
the

vpon

the

And
yet
made
he
the

For

For
yf

that

And
as
touchyng
to
vs
the
prouffyte
is
double
/
For
they
be
gyuen
to
vs
for
an
example
to
fyght
/
wherof
saynt
Iohan
Crysostome
saith
to
vs
/
thou

yf

Considere

For
by

all

And
by
that
condicion
all
haue
vaynquysshed

by
that
chyualrye

This
saith
Crisostom
/
Secondly
/
they
be
gyuen
to
vs

for
to
ayde
and
helpe
vs
/
they
ayde
vs
by
their
merites

and
by

/
Of
the
fyrst
saith
saint
Augustyn
/
O
the
vnmesured
pyte
of
oure
lord
/
whiche
wylle
that
the
merites
of
the
martirs
be
our
aydes
and
suffrages
/
He
examyneth
them
for
to
enseigne
and
teche
vs
/
He
breketh
them
for
to
gadre
vs
.
&
he
wyll
/
that
their
tormentes
ben
oure
prouffitees
/
Of
the
second
sayth
saynt
Iheromme
ayenst
vygilancyen
/
yf
thappostles
and
martirs
/
when
they
were
yet
in
their
bodyes
alyue
myghte
pray
for
other
/
and
were
therin
diligente
/
how
moche
more
thenne
oughte
they
to
do
after
their
crownes

victory
and

/
Of
whome
Moyses
one
only
man
gate
pardon
for
sixe
Thousand
men
armed
/
And
saint
Stephen
praid
for
his
enemyes
/
And
sith
they
be
now
with
god
/
Shold
they
do
lasse
/
Thirdly
/
the
martirs
haue
suffred
constantly
/
Saint
Augustin
sayth
that
the
soule
of
a
martir
is
the
glayue
resplendisshaunt
by
charite
/
sharp
by
verite
brandisshed
by
the
vertue
of
god
fyghtyng
/
that
whiche
hath
surmounted
the
companye
of
gaynsayeng
them
in
repreuyng
them
She
hath
smeton
the
wicked
and
throwen
doune
them
that
were
contrary
to
her
/
And
Crisostom
saith
/
that
the
martirs
tormentid
were
strenger
than
the
tormentours
/
And
the
torn
membres
vaynquysshed
the
rentynge
yrons
The
thirdde
difference
is
of
the
confessours
/
Of
whom
the
dignyte
and
excellence
is
manyfested
by
cause
they
confessid
god
in
thre
maners
/
by
herte
/
by
mouthe
/
and
by
werk
/
The
Confession
of
herte
suffyseth
not
withoute
confession
of
mouthe
/
lyke
as
Iohan
Crisostom
saith
&
preueth
it
in
four
maners
And
as
to
the
fyrste
he
saith
thus
The
Rote
of
confession
is
faith
of
the
herte
And
as
long
as
the
Rote
is
a
lyue
&
quycke
in
the
erthe
it
is
necessary
that
she
brynge
forth
bowes
and
leeuys
/
And
yf
if
it
bryng
none
forth
/
it
is
to
vnderstonde
that
it
is
dryed
in
th
erthe
And
all
in
lyke
wyse
/
whan
the
Rote
of
fayth
is
hole
in
the
herte
/
she
bryngeth
forth
alwey
Confession
in
the
mouthe
/
And
yf
the
confession
of
the
herte
appiereth
not
in
the
mouthe
/
vnderstonde
withoute
doubte
that
the
fayth
of
the
herte
is
dryed
vp
/
As
to
the
second
he
sayth
/
yf
it
suffyseth
to
byleue
in
the
herte
/
and
not
to
confesse
it
to
fore
men
thenne
thou
art
vntrewe
and
an
ypocryte
/
For
how
be
hit
that
he
byleueth
not
at
the
herte
/
yet
hit
prouffiteth
hym
to
confesse
with
his
mouthe
/
And
yf
it
prouffyteth
not
to
hym
that
confessyth
withoute
byleue
/
It
prouffited
not
to
hym
that
byleueth
without
Confession
/
And
as
to
the
thyrdde
he
saith
yf
it
suffyse
to
Ihesu
Cryst
/
that
thow
knowe
hym
/
how
be
hit
that
thou
confesse
hym
not
to
fore
men
/
thenne
hit
suffyseth
to
the
also
/
that
thow
knowe
hym
/
And
yf
thou
confesse
Ihesu
crist
to
fore
god
/
And
yf
his
cognoyssaunce
suffyseth
not
to
the
/
nomore
suffyseth
to
the
thy
faithe
/
¶
As
to
the
fourthe
/
he
sayth
/
yf
only
the
faythe
of
thy
herte
shold
suffyse
to
the
/
god
wolde
thenne
haue
created
to
the
but
only
the
herte
/
but
god
hath
created
both
the
herte
/
and
the
mouthe
/
For
to
byleue
with
thy
herte
/
and
to
confesse
it
with
thy
mouth
/
Thyrdly
/
they
confessid
god
by
werke
/
And
saynt
Iheromme
sheweth
/
how
god
is
confessid
by
werke
/
or
renyed
/
and
sayth
Ihesu
Cryst
is
sapyence
/
Rightwysnes
/
trouthe
/
holynes
and
strengthe
/
Sapyence
is
denyed
by
folye
/
Ryghtwysnes
by
Inyquyte
/
trouthe
by
lesynges
/
holynes
by
fylthe
And
strengthe
by
feble
courage
/
And
as
ofte
as
we
ben
ouercomen
by
vyces
and
by
synnes
we
renye
god
/
Also
in
the
contrarye
as
ofte
as
we
done
ony
good
/
we
confesse
god
/
The
fourth
difference
is
of
the
vyrgyns
/
of
whom
the
excellence
and
dignyte
is
shewed
and
manyfested
/
First
in
that
they
ben
the
spouses
of
the
eternal
kynge
/
And
herof
sayth
saynt
Ambrose
/
who
may
esteme
more
gretter
beaulte
/
than
the
beaute
of
her
that
is
loued
of
the
kynge
/
Approuued
of
the
Iuge
/
dedycate
of
god
/
alwey
an
espouse
/
and
alweye
withoute
corrupcion
/
Secondly
by
cause
she
is
compared
to
angels
/
vyrgynyte
surmounteth
all
condicion
of
nature
humayne
/
by
whiche
men
ben
associate
to
Aungels
/
And
the
vyctory
of
vyrgyns
is
more
than
of
Angels
/
Th
angels
lyuen
withoute
flesshe
/
And
vyrgyns
lyuyng
in
theire
flesshe
tryūphen
Thyrdly
for
by
cause
they
be
more
noble
than
other
Crysten
people
/
wherof
Cypryan
saith
/
virgynyte
is
the
floure
of
the
seed
of
the
Chirche
/
beaute
and
aournement
of
spyrituel
grace
/
a
glad
Ioye
of
lawde
and
honoure
/
werke
entiere
and
incorrupte
/
ymage
of
God
/
And
yet
more
noble
as
to
the
holynes
of
god
/
and
porcion
of
the
flock
of
Ihesu
Cryst
/
¶
Fourthy
/
by
cause
they
ben
put
to
their
husbondes
/
&
this
excellence
that
virgynyte
had
/
as
to
the
respect
of
th
accouplement
of
mariage
appiereth
by
manyfold
comparacion
/
For
maryage
fylleth
and
swelleth
the
bely
/
And
virgynyte
the
mynde
/
Wherof
Augustyn
sayth
/
Vyrgynyte
chesith
to
folowe
more
the
lyf
of
angels
in
their
flesshe
/
than
tencreace
the
nombre
of
mortal
peple
in
their
flesshe
/
For
it
is
more
blessid
and
more
plentyuous
tencreace
their
mynde
/
than
to
be
grete
with
childe
/
For
somme
haue
Children
of
sorowe
/
And
vyrgynyte
bryngeth
forth
Children
of
Ioye
/
virgynyte
replenyssheth
heuen
of
children
And
they
that
ben
maryed
replenysshe

/
And
Iherome
saith
/
The
weddynges
fylle
the
erthe
/
and
vyrgynyte
fylleth
heuen
/
that
one
is
of
grete
besynes
.
And
this
is
of
grete
reste
/
virgynyte
is
scylence
of

/
pees
of
the
flesshe
/
Redempcion
of
vyces
/
and
pry●cesse
of
vertues
/
Mariage
is
good
/
But
virgynyte
is
better
/
Seynt
Iheromme
saith
to
palmacyen
the
difference
bitwene
maryage
and
virgynyte
&
saith
they
difference
as
moche
/
as
is
bitwene
not
to
synne
/
and
to
do
well
/
or
as
I
maye
clerlyer
saye
/
as
is
bytwene
good
and
better
/
For
maryage
is
compared
to
thornes
/
And
vyrgynyte
to
Roses
/
And
he
sayth
to
Eustochium
/
I
preyse
mariage
for
they
engendre
virgyns
/
I
gadre
fro
the
thornes
roses

and
oute
of

a
precious

/
Fyfthly
is
shewed
the
dignyte
and
excellence
of
vyrgyns
/
For
they
enioye

For
the
vyrgyns
shall
haue

They

The

establysshed
for

THe

lyke
as
it
is

in

reuelacion
And
Peter
damyens
saith
that
in

in
the
yle
of

/
saynt
Odylle
herd
the
voyces
&
the
howlynges
of
deuyls
whiche
complayned
strongly
/
by
cause
that
the
sowles
of
them
that
were
deed
were
taken
aweye
fro
their
handes
by
almesses
and
by
prayers
/
And
therfor
he
ordeygned
that
the
feste
and
remembraunce
of
them
that
ben
departed
oute
of

/
shold
be
made
and
holden
in

/
the
day
after
the
feest
of
al
holowen
/
the
whiche
thyng
was
approuyd
after
of
al
holy
Chirche
/
And
therof
we
may
specially
touche
two
thynges
/
Fyrst
of
the
purgacion
of
tho
sowles
/
And
secondly
of
their
suffrages
/
Of
the
first
is
to
be
considered
thre
thynges
/
Fyrst
who
ben
they
that
ben
purged
/
Secondly
/
by
whome
they
ben
purged
/
Thyrdly
/
where
they
ben
purged
/
It
is
to
wete
that
there
ben
thre
maners
of
them
that
ben
purged
/
The
fyrst
ben
they
that
deye
to fore
er
they
haue
done
satisfaction
of
the
penaunce
that
hath
ben
enioyned
to
hem
/
Neuertheles
yf
they
had
so
moch
contricion
in
the
herte
/
that
it
had
suffysed
tefface
the
synne
/
they
shold
haue
frely
passyd
to
the
lyf
perdurable
/
hou
be
it
that
they
had
not
accomplysshed
their
wylle
ne
satisfaction
/
For
contricion
is
right
grete
satisfaction
of
their
synnes
/
and
puttynge
awey
of
synne
And
herof
saith
saint
Iheromme
/
The
lengthe
of
tyme
auaylleth
not
so
moche
as
of
sorowe
/
ne
th
abstynence
of
metes
auaylleth
not
so
moche
as
the
mortyfycacion
of
vyces
/
but
now
they
that
deye
without
this
contricion
to
fore
taccomplysshynge
of
theyr
penaunce
/
ben
greuously
punysshed
in
purgatorye
/
but
yf
it
happen
that
the
satisfaction
of
them
be
done
of
somme
of
their
frendes
But
to
this
that
suche
mutacion
of
the
satisfaction
may
auaille
/
four
thynges
ben
requyred
/
The
fyrst
is
of
th
auctortte
of
the
chaunger
/
for
it
ought
be
don
of
th
auctoryte
of
the
preest
/
The
second
/
is
of
his
parte
for
whome
this
mutacion
is
of
the
satisfaction
/
that
is
the
necessite
of
hym
/
For
he
may
be
in
suche
estat
/
that
he
maye
not
well
doo
satisfaction
for
that
other·
that
is
to
saye
in
charyte
/
For
he
ought
to
be
in
charyte
/
The
thirde
is
on
his
syde
/
on
whome
the
commutacion
is
maade
of
satisfaction
for
that
other
/
that
is
to
saye
of
charyte
/
For
it
is
requysyte
that
he
be
in
charite
by
whiche
he
maketh
satisfaction
to
be
merytoryous
&
suffycyent
/
The
fourthe
thynge
is
proporcion
/
that
is
to
wete
/
that
the
lasse
payne
be
proporcioned
in
to
gretter
/
For
the
propre
payne
of
the
synnar
satisfyeth
more
to
god
than
of
a
straunger
/
And
alwey
is
he
tormentid
in
purgatory
/
but
for
the
payn
that
he
suffreth
/
And
that
other
payeth
for
hym
/
he
is
the
sonner
delyuerd
/
For
god
acounteth
hys
payne
and
the
payne
of
that
other
/
For
if
he
were
condempned
to
suffre
the
payne
of
two
monethes
in
purgatory
/
he
myght
soo
be
holpen
/
that
he
shold
be
delyuerd
in
a
monethe
/
but
he
shall
neuer
be
taken
thennes
tylle
the
dette
be
payd
/
And
when
it
is
payd
/
that
ought
to
be
payd
/
after
it
is
conuertid
in
to
the
wele
of
him
that
had
done
hit
/
And
yf
he
haue
no
nede
/
It
is
torned
vnto
the
wele
of
other
that
ben
in
purgatory
/
The
second
that
ben
in
purgatory
/
ben
they
that
haue
accomplysshed
theyr
penaunce
/
but
alweye
by
the
neclygence
or
ignoraunce
of
the
preest
/
whiche
confessyd
them
/
It
was
not
suffysaunt
/
And
yf
they
haue
not
had
right
contricion
that
may
suffyse
for
their
synne
/
they
shalle
accomplysshe
alle
that
there
/
by
cause
of
the
lytell
penaunce
doyng
in
this
lyf
/
For
our
lord
that
knoweth
the
maner
/
and
the
mesure
of
paynes
and
of
synnes
/
he
gyueth
payn
suffysaunt
/
in
suche
wyse
/
that
there
remayneth
not
one
payne
vnpunysshed
/
Thenne
the
penaunce
that
is
enioyned
eyther
it
is
gretter
/
or
egalle
/
or
lasse
/
yf
it
be
gretter
/
they
that
haue
done
more
/
hit
shalle
torne
to
th
encreacynge
of
glorye
/
yf
it
be
egall
/
thenne
hit
shalle
suffyse
to
the
remyssion
of
his
synne
/
yf
it
be
lasse
/
thenne
that
whiche
lacketh
shalle
be
fulfylled
by
the
vertu
of
the
dyuyne
puyssaunce
and
Iustyce
/
Of
them
that
repente
them
at
the
laste
/
herkene
what
Augustyn
sayth
/
he
that
is
baptysed
/
&
at
that
hour
goth
oute
of
this
world
/
he
goth
surely
/
A
man
wel
lyuynge
/
and
soo
deyeth
gooth
surely
/
A
man
doynge
penaunce
at
the
laste
/
and
reconciled
/
yf
he
goo
surely
I
am
not
sure
/
Therfore
holde
the
certayn
weye
/
and
leue
the
vncertayn
weye
/
This
sayth
seint
Austyn
for
suche
done
penaunce
more
for
nede
than
of
wylle
/
and
rather
for
drede
of
payne
/
than
for
loue
of
glorye
/
The
thyrd
/
that
gone
in
to
purgatorye
/
ben
they
that
bere
wode
/
heye
and
stubple
/
This
ben
they
/
that
not
withstandynge
they
loue
god
yet
they
haue
carnalle
affection
to
their
Rychesses
/
their
wyues
/
and
possessions
/
yet
they
loue
no
thynge
to
fore
god
/
And
these
ben
tormented
in
purgatory
after
the
maner
of
their
longe
or
short
beyng
therin
/
as
the
woode
in
longe
brennyng
as
the
heye
lasse
/
or
the
stubple
leest
&
shortest
/
And
saynt
Augustyn
sayth
/
though
thys
fyre
be
not
perdurable
/
yet
it
is
greuous
merueylously
/
so
that
hit
surmounteth
all
the
payne
that
ony
man
suffryd
euer
in
this
world
/
For
so
greuous
payne
was
neuer
founden
in
the
flesshe
/
how
be
it
that
martirs
haue
suffryd
grete
paynes
/
The
second
/
is
to
wete
/
by
whome
they
ben
purged
/
or
by
whome
punycion
is
maade
/
It
is
done
by
the
euylle
Angels
/
and
not
by
the
good
/
For
the
good
Angels
tormente
not
the
good
sowles
/
but
the
good
angels
tormente
the
euylle
aungels
/
&
the
euylle
angels
tormenten
the
euyll
Crysten
sowles
/
And
it
is
wel
to
byleue
that
the
good
Angels
vysyte
ofte
and
comforte
their
bretheren
and
theire
felawes
/
and
warne
them
to
suffre
in
pacyence
/
And
yet
haue
they
another
remedye
of
comforte
of
this
that
attende
certaynly
the
glorye
to
come
/
For
they
be
certayn
to
haue
ioye
/
lasse
than
they
that
ben
in
the
contreye
/
and
more
certaynte
/
than
they
that
ben
in
theyre
lyf
/
For
the
certaynte
of
them
that
ben
in
the
countrey
is
withoute
abydynge
and
drede
/
For
they
abyde
not
that
is
for
to
come
/
whan
they
haue
it
presente
and
doubte
no
thynge
to
lese
it
/
But
the
certeynte
of
them
that
ben
in
the
lyf
is
contrarye
/
but
the
certaynte
of
them
that
ben
in
purgatory
is
moyenne
/
for
they
abyde
to
haue
it
/
and
without
drede
/
For
they
haue
free
wylle
withoute
drede
confermed
/
that
they
maye
no
more
synne
/
And
yet
haue
they
another
comforte
/
that
they
wene
alwey
/
that
ther
ben
made
prayers
and
done
almesses
for
them
/
And
peraduenture
/
it
is
is
more
trewe
that
/
this
punycion
not
made
by
euyll
angels
/
but
by
commaundement
of
the
dyuyne
Iustyce
/
And
by
the
fors
therof
succedynge
/
As
to
the
thyrd
hit
is
to
wete
where
they
ben
purged
/
in
a
place
by
helle
/
which●
is
called
Purgatorye
/
after
th
oppynyon
of
dyuerse
wysemen
/
how
be
it
/
that
it
semeth
to
somme
other
/
that
it
is
in
thayer
in
a
place
brennynge
&
round
/
but
neuertheles
ther
ben
ordeyned
dyuerse
places
to
dyuerse
sowles
/
and
for
many
causes
/
And
that
is
for
lyght
punycion
/
or
for
hasty
delyueraunce
or
for
the
synne
commysed
in
that
place
or
for
the
prayer
of
som
saint
First
for
the
lyght
punycion
as
it
is
shewed
to
somme
/
after
that
seynt
gregory
saith
/
that
somme
sowles
ben
purged
in
the
shadowe
/
Secondly
for
their
hasty
delyueraunce
/
that
they
may
shewe
vnto
other
/
how
that
they
nede
to
requyre
ayde
/
And
therby
myght
hastely
yssue
oute
of
the
payne
/
lyke
as
it
is
redde
/
that
somme
fysshars
of
saynt
Thybault
/
that
fysshed
on
a
tyme
in
harueste
and
tooke
a
grete
pyece
of
yse
/
in
stede
of
a
fysshe
/
And
they
were
gladder
therof
than
of
a
fysshe
/
by
cause
the
bisshop
had
a
grete
brennynge
of
hete
in
his
legge
/
And
they
leyde
that
yce
ther
to
/
and
it
refresshyd
hym
moche
/
And
on
a
tyme
the
bisshop
herd
the
voys
of
a
man
in
the
yce
/
And
he
coniured
hym
to
telle
hym
what
he
was
/
And
the
voys
sayd
to
hym
.
I
am
a
sowle
/
whiche
for
my
synnes
am
tormented
in
this
yce
/
and
may
be
delyuerd
yf
thou
saye
for
me
thyrtiy
masses
contynuelly
to
gyder
in
thyrtty
dayes
/
And
the
bisshop
emprysed
to
saye
them
/
And
whanne
he
had
sayd
half
of
them
/
he
made
hym
redy
to
contynue
forth
and
say
the
other
/
And
the
deuylle
maade
a
discencion
in
the
Cyte
/
that
the
peple
of
the
Cyte
fought
eche
ageynst
other
/
And
thenne
the
Bisshop
was
callyd
for
tappese
this
discord
/
And
dyde
of
his
vestymentes
/
And
lefte
to
saye
the
masse
/
And
on
the
morne
he
began
all
newe
ageyne
/
And
whanne
he
had
said
the
two
partes
/
hym
semed
/
that
a
grete
hoost
hadde
besyeged
the
Cyte
/
so
that
he
was
constrayned
by
drede
/
and
lefte
to
saye
the
offyce
of
the
masse
/
And
after
yet
he
beganne
ageyne
the
seruyse
/
And
whanne
he
had
al
accomplysshed
excepte
the
last
masse
/
which
he
wold
haue
begonnen
alle
the
towne
and
the
bisshops
hows
was
taken
by
fyre
/
And
whanne
his
seruauntes
cam
to
hym
/
and
bad
hym
leue
his
masse
/
he
sayd
/
though
alle
the
Cyte
shold
be
brent
/
I
shall
not
leue
to
saye
the
masse
/
And
whanne
the
masse
was
done
the
yce
was
molten
/
And
the
fyre
that
they
hadde
supposed
to
haue
sene
/
was
but
a
fantosme
/
and
dyd
none
harme
Thyrdly
/
for
oure
Infyrmyte
/
that
is
/
that
we
knowe
what
grete

There

And

And

And

And

And

And

Fourthly

Of

As
touchyng

/
that
the
prayers
of

/
It
appiereth
by
ensample
of
paschasyen
/
of
whome
gregory
telleth
in
the
fourth
booke
of
his

and
saith
that
there
was
a

And
two
were

for
to
haue
ben
popes
/
but
neuertheles
at
the

the
Chirche
accorded
vnto
one
of
them
/
And
this
paschasyen
alwey
by
errour
suffred
that
other
/
And
abode
in
thys
errour
vnto
the
dethe
/
And
whanne
he
was
dede
the
byere
was
couerd
with
a
clothe
named
dalmatyke
/
one
that
was
vexyd
with
a
deuyll
was
brought
thyder
/
and
touchyd
the
clothe
/
and
anon
he
was
made

/
And
a

wente

And
he

For

/
And
thenne
the
Bisshop
praid
for
hym
/
and
when
he
cam
ageyne
he
fonde
hym
not

And
Pieter
Abbot
of

saith
that
ther
was

of
Requiem
for
all
Crysten

And
herof
he

And
as
the

all

Now

And

And

And

And

And
the
Second
manere
of

is
for

and
that
helpeth

that
ben

as
it
appiereth
in
the

of

/
where
hit

that
Iudas
the
most

xij

be
offryd
for

of

remembrynge
ryghtfully

relygyously
of

/
And
how
moche
to
gyue
almesse
auayleth
for
them
/
that
ben

it
appyereth
by
ensample
that
saynt
gregorye
putteth
in
his
fourthe
booke
of
dyalogues
/
There
was
a
knyght
that
lay

and
his
spyryte
taken
fro

/
And
a
whyle
after

the
sowle
retorned
to
the
body
ageyne
/
And
what
he
had
sene
done
/
he
told
and
said
ther
was
a
brydge
/
And
vnder
that
brydge
was
a
flood
fowle
/
horryble
/
and
full
of
stenche

and
on
that
other
syde
of
the
brydge
was
a
medowe
swete
odoraunt
and
aourned
full
of
all
maner
floures
/
And
there
on
that
syde
of
the
brydge
were
peples
assembled
cladde
al
in
whyte
that
were
fylled
with
the
swete
odoure
of
the

/
And
the
brydge
was
suche

that
yf
ony

the
mynystres
wold
passe
ouer
the
brydge
/
he
shold
slyde
and
falle
in

that
stynkyng
Ryuer

And
the
ryghtwys
peple
passid
ouer
lyghtly
and
surely
/
in
to
that
delectable
place
/
And
this
knyght
sawe
ther
a
man
named
Pieter
/
whiche
laye
bounden

and
grete
weyght
of
yron
vpon
hym
/
whiche
whan
he
axyd

why
he
lay
soo

/
It
was
said
to
hym
of
another
he
suffreth
by
cause
yf
ony
man
were
delyuerd
to
hym
to
do
vengeaunce
/
He
desyred
it
more
to
do
it
by
cruelte
/
than
by
obedyence
/
Also
he
said
/
he
sawe
there
a
pylgrym
/
that
whan
he
cam
to
the
brydge
/
he
passid
ouer
with
grete
lyghtnes
and
shortely
by
cause
he
hadde
wel
lyued
here

and
purely
in

and
withoute

And
he
sawe
there
another

Stephen

whiche
whanne
he
wold
haue
passid

his
fote
slode
that
he
fylle
half
ouer
the

/
And
thenne
ther
cam
somme
horryble
black
men
/
And
dyd
all
that
they

doune
by

/
And
thenne
cam
other
ryght
fair
Creatures
and
whyte

and
took
hym

by

and
drewe

And
as

retorned

and
knewe
not

But
this
way
we
vnderstonde
that
the
wycked
dedes

that

strofe
ageynst
the

For
by

And

The
thyrdde
maner

is
the

whiche
prouffiteth

It

by

of

and
by
the
fastynges
of
theyr
kynnesmen
/
that
the
penaunce
done
for
them
by
their
Frendes
is
vaillable
to
them
/
hit
is
shewed
by
a
solempne
Doctour
/
whiche
reherceth
that
there
was
a
woman
/
whiche
hadde
her
husbond
dede
And
she
was
in
grete
despair
for

/
And
the

and
sayd
that

/
yf

And
she

/
And
he
enioyned
her
that
the

of

chirche
that
she

that
she

Secondly
that
she

And
in
the
nyght

Thirdly
that
she
shold
in

Chirche
lette
prayers
by
her
Ianglyng
/
And
that
she
shold
not
confesse
her
of

of

/
And
at
the
laste
as
she
approched
toward

/
her

And

And
that

But
her

and
saide
he
wold
do

she

and

But
to fore

And

And
that
accomplysshed
he
sawe
hys

And
she
thanked
hym
of
her
delyueraunce
/
And
in
lyke

Indulgences
of

It
happed
that
a
legate
of

pope
praid
a

that
he

And
he

And
the

And
that

his

appiered
to
hym
more
clere
than
the
day
/
and
thanked
hym
of
his
delyueraunce
/
And
as
to
the
third
/
that
is
to
say
for
whom
the
suffrages
ben
don
/
ther
ben
iiij
thynges
to
be
considere
/
Fyrst
who
ben
they
/
to
whome
it
may
prouffyte
/
Secondly
/
Wherfor
hit
ought
to
prouffyte
them
/
Thyrdly
hit
muste
be
knowen
/
yf
hit
prouffyte
to
alle
egally
/
Fourthly
how
they
may
knowe
the
suffrages
/
that
ben
done
for
them
/
As
to
the
fyrst
/
who
ben
they
/
to
whome
the
suffrages
may
prouffite
/
It
is
to
be
knowen
as
saynt
Austyn
sayth
/
that
alle
they
/
that
departe
out
of
this
world
/
or
they
ben
right
good
or
ryght
euylle
/
or
bytwene
both
Thenne
the
suffrages
that
ben
done
for
the
good
/
ben
for
to
yelde
thankynges
for
them
/
And
they
that
ben
done
for
the
euyl
/
ben
somme
comforte
to
them
that
lyue
/
And
they
that
ben
done
for
them
that
ben
myddle
/
and
bytwene
bothe
/
they
ben
clensynges
to
them
/
And
they
that
ben
ryght
good
/
ben
they
that
anone
flee
to
heuen
/
And
ben
quyte
of
the
fyre
of
purgatory
/
and
of
helle
also
/
And
there
ben
thre
manere
of
this
peple
/
that
ben
children
baptysed
Martirs
and
parfyght
men
/
These
ben
they
that
parfyghtely
mayntenyd
the
loue
of
god
/
the
loue
of
his
neyghbour
and
good
werkes
/
And
thoughte
neuer
to
plese
the
world
/
but
to
god
only
And
yf
they
had
done
ony
venyal
synne
/
Hit
was
anone
putte
awey
by
the
loue
of
charyte
/
lyke
as
a
drope
of
water
in
a
fornays
/
And
therfor
they
bere
no
thyng
with
them
that
oughte
to
be
brent
/
And
who
that
prayeth
for
ony
of
these
thre
maner
peuple
/
or
doth
ony
suffrages
for
them
/
he
doth
to
them
wrong
/
For
saynt
Augustyn
sayth
/
he
doth
wrong
that
prayeth
for
a
martir
But
yf
one
praye
for
one
that
is
rizt
good
/
of
whome
he
doubteth
that
he
be
in
heuen
/
thenne
of
his
orysons
ben
yeuen
thankynges
/
And
they
come
to
the
prouffite
of
hym
that
prayeth
/
lyke
as
Dauyd
sayth
/
My
prayer
shal
be
tornyd
in
to
my
bosome
/
And
to
these
maners
of
peple
is
the
heuen
anon
open
/
whan
they
departe
/
ne
they
fele
no
fyre
of
purgatory
/
And
this
is
signyfyed
to
vs
by
the
thre
/
to
whome
the
heuen
was
opened
/
It
was
fyrst
opened
to
Ihesu
Cryst
whan
he
was
baptysed
&
prayeng
/
by
whiche
is
signefyed
that
the
heuen
is
open
to
them
that
ben
baptitised
/
be
they
yong
or
aged
/
yf
they
deye
/
anone
they
flee
in
to
heuen
/
For
baptysme
is
clensyng
of
all
orygenall
synne
and
mortalle
by
the
vertu
of
the
passion
of
Ihesu
Cryst
/
Secondly
/
hit
was
opened
to
saynt
Stephen
/
whan
he
was
stoned
/
wherof
it
is
said
in
th
actes
of
thappostles
/
I
see
the
Heuens
open
/
And
in
this
is
sygnefyed
that
hit
is
open
to
alle
martirs
/
And
they
flee
anone
to
heuen
/
as
soone
as
they
departe
/
Thyrdly
/
hit
was
opened
to
saint
Iohan
th
evamgelist
/
whiche
was
ryght
parfyght
/
wherof
is
sayd
in
th
apocalipse
/
I
behelde
/
and
loo
the
dore
was
open
in
heuen
/
by
whiche
it
appiereth
that
it
is
opened
to
parfyght
men
/
that
haue
alle
accomplysshed
their
penaunce
/
And
haue
in
them
no
venyal
synnes
/
or
yf
ony
happen
to
be
commysed
/
anone
it
is
consumed
&
extyncte
/
by
the
ardour
of
charyte
/
And
thus
heuen
is
open
to
these
thre
maner
of
peple
whiche
entre
lyghtly
in
for
to
regne
perpetuelly
/
The
ryght
euyll
and
wycked
men
ben
they
/
that
anon
ben
plunged
in
to
the
fyre
of
helle
/
For
whome
yf
their
dampnacion
be
knowen
there
ought
no
suffrages
be
done
for
them
/
after
that
saint
Augustyn
sayth
/
yf
I
knewe
my
fader
to
he
in
helle
/
I
wold
no
more
praye
for
hym
than
for
the
deuyll
/
but
yf
ony
suffrages
were
done
for
a
dampned
man
/
Of
whome
were
doubte
that
he
so
were
/
neuertheles
they
shold
not
prouffite
hxm
to
his
delyueraunce
/
ne
that
is
to
say
fro
the
paynes
ne
do
the
mytygacion
of
them
/
ne
lassyng
of
it
/
ne
shortynge
of
tyme
/
For
as
Iob
sayth
/
In
helle
is
no
redempcion
/
They
that
ben
myddle
good
/
ben
they
/
that
haue
with
them
some
thyng
to
be
brent
and
purged
/
that
is
to
say
wode
/
heye
and
stupple
/
or
els
they
that
ben
surprysed
with
dethe
/
before
they
myght
haue
accomplysshed
their
penace
in
their
lyf
/
Ner
they
be
not
so
good
but
that
they
nede
haue
suffrages
of
their
frendes
/
ne
they
be
not
so
euylle
/
but
that
suffrages
myght
prouffyte
&
ease
them
/
And
the
suffrages
that
ben
done
for
them
/
ben
clensynges
for
them
And
these
ben
they
/
to
whom
suffrages
only
may
prouffyte
/
And
in
doynge
suche
maner
suffrages
/
the
chirche
is
acustomed
to
obserue
thre
maner
dayes
that
is
the
seuenth
day
/
the
thyrttyest
day
/
And
th
annyuersarye
/
And
the
reson
of
these
thre
dayes
is
assigned
in
the
book
of
offyce
/
The
seuenth
daye
is
kepte
and
obseruyd
/
that
the
soules
shold
come
to
the
sabate
of
euerlastynge
reste
/
or
by
cause
that
all
the
synnes
that
they
haue
commysed
in
their
lyf
/
be
foryeuen
/
whiche
they
haue
done
by
seuen
dayes
/
or
that
all
the
synnes
that
they
haue
commysed
in
theyr
bodye
/
whiche
is
made
of
four
complexions
/
and
in
their
sowle
/
●in
whiche
ben
thre
poures
may
be
forgyuen
/
The
trentalle
is
kepte
/
whiche
is
in
thre
dysaynes
/
that
they
maye
be
purged
of
all
suche
thynges
/
as
they
haue
synned
in
the
trynyte
/
And
brekynge
of
the
ten
commaundementes
/
The
annyuersarye
is
obserued
that
they
come
fro
the
yeres
of
calamyte
and
maleurte
vnto
the
yeres
of
perdurabilite
/
And
lyke
as
we
solempnyse
euery
yere
the
feste
of
a
saynte
to
their
honour
/
and
oure
prouffit
Right
so
we
obserue
th
annyversary
of
them
that
ben
dede
vnto
their
prouffyte
and
oure
deuocion
/
Of
the
second
/
that
is
/
wherfore
the
suffrages
ought
to
prouffite
to
them
/
It
is
to
wete
/
that
hit
ought
be
prouffite
for
thre
reasons
/
Fyrst
by
reason
of
vnyte
/
For
they
ben
one
body
with
them
of
the
Chirche
mylytaunt
/
And
therfor
their
goodes
ought
to
be
comyn
/
Secondly
by
reason
of
dignyte
/
by
whiche
they
deserued
whan
they
lyued
/
that
these
suffrages
shold
prouffite
them
/
For
they
helpe
other
/
And
it
is
reson
that
they
be
holpen
that
haue
holpen
other
/
Thirdly
by
reason
of
necessite
/
For
they
ben
in
the
state
/
in
which
they
may
not
helpe
them self
/
As
to
the
thirdde
it
is
to
wete
/
yf
it
prouffyte
to
all
egally
/
It
is
to
wete
that
the
suffrages
/
yf
they
be
done
for
some
in
especiall
they
prouffite
more
to
them
/
for
whom
they
be
made
/
than
for
other
/
And
yf
they
hen
done
for
the
comyn
/
they
prouffite
most
to
them
that
haue
deseruyd
most
in
this
lyf
/
And
yf
they
be
made
egalle
/
hit
prouffiteth
them
that
haue
most
nede
/
Fourthly
/
that
is
to
wete
/
yf
they
knowe
the
suffrages
that
ben
done
for
them
After
saint
Augustyn
/
they
may
knowe
it
by
thre
maners
/
First
by
dyuyne
reuelacion
/
that
is
whan
our
lord
sheweth
to
them
suche
thyng
/
Secondly
/
by
manyfestacion
of
good
Aungels
/
whiche
ben
alwey
here
with
vs
/
and
considere
al
that
we
do
/
and
maye
incontynent
descende
to
them
/
and
anon
she
we
it
to
them
/
Thirdly
by
Intymacion
of
sowles
/
that
gone
hens
and
gone
thider
/
For
the
soules
that
gone
from
hens
oute
of
this
world
maye
well
tel
be
suche
thynges
and
other
Fourthly
neuertheles
/
they
maye
knowe
it
by
experyence
and
by
reuelacion
/
for
when
they
fele
them self
alledged
/
and
releued
of
their
payne
/
they
knowe
well
/
that
some
suffrages
haue
ben
done
for
them
/
Thirdly
/
it
is
to
wete
/
by
whom
these
suffrages
ben
made
/
that
is
to
wete
/
that
yf
these
suffrages
shold
prouffite
/
It
behoueth
/
that
they
ben
done
by
them
that
ben
in
charite
/
For
yf
they
ben
done
by
euyl
and
synfull
persones
they
maye
not
prouffite
to
them
/
wherof
is
redde
that
whanne
a
knyghte
lay
in
his
bedde
with
his
wyf
/
And
the
mone
shone
ryght
clere
/
whiche
entrid
in
by
the
creueches
/
he
merueyled
moche
/
wherfor
man
whiche
was
resonable
obeyed
not
to
his
maker
/
whan
the
creatures
not
resonable
obeyed
to
hym
/
And
thenne
began
to
saye
euyll
of
a
knyght
whiche
was
deed
/
and
had
ben
famylyar
with
hym
/
And
thenne
this
knyght
/
of
whom
they
so
talked
entryd
in
to
the
chambre
/
and
said
to
hym
/
Frende
/
haue
none
euylle
suspecion
of
ony
man
/
but
pardonne
me
yf
I
haue
trespaced
to
the
/
And
whan
he
had
demaunded
hym
of
his
state
/
He
ansuerd
I
am
tormentid
of
dyuerse
tormentes
and
paynes
/
and
specially
by
cause
I
defouled
the
chirche
yerd
/
and
hurte
a
man
therin
/
and
despoilled
hym
of
his
mantell
/
whiche
he
ware
/
whiche
mantell
I
bere
on
me
/
and
is
heuyer
than
a
Montayne
/
And
thenne
he
prayd
the
knyght
/
that
he
wold
do
praye
for
hym
/
And
thenne
he
demaunded
yf
he
wold
that
suche
a
preest
shold
praye
for
hym
or
suche
one
/
and
the
dede
man
wagged
his
hede
/
and
answerd
not
/
as
he
wold
not
haue
hym
/
Thenne
he
axyd
of
hym
/
yf
he
wold
that
suche
an
Heremyte
shold
praye
for
hym
/
And
thenne
the
dede
man
answerd
/
wold
god
that
he
wold
pray
for
me
/
And
the
lyuynge
knyght
promysed
/
that
he
shold
pray
for
hym
/
And
thenne
the
dede
man
sayd
/
And
I
saye
to
the
/
that
this
day
two
yere
/
thou
shalt
deye
/
And
so
vanysshed
aweye
/
And
thys
knyght
chaunged
his
lyf
in
to
better
/
And
at
the
day
slepte
in
oure
lord
/
That
whiche
is
sayd
/
that
suffrages
done
by
euyll
men
may
not
prouffyte
/
but
yf
they
ben
werkes
sacramentalle
/
as
is
the
celebracion
of
the
ma●●e
/
For
that
may
not
be
defowled
of
an
euylle
mynystre
/
Or
els
yf
he
/
that
is
deed
left
ony
goodes
to
dispose
by
somme
euylle
man
/
And
shold
anone
haue
disposed
them
/
And
dyd
not
/
lyke
as
it
is
red
that
it
happed
/
As
Turpyn
th
archebisshop
of
Raynes
sayth
/
that
there
was
a
noble
knyght
that
was
in
the
batail
with
Charles
the
graunt
for
to

ageynste
the

/
And
prayde
one
that
was
his
Cosyn

And
it
is
sayd
of

and
of

that

For
by

For
he

And

And

And

wyse
Leonard
reysed
many

were
dede
in

and
many
that
lyued
bestyally
/
he

Fourthly
/
the

In

he
eschewed
all
the

/
And
therfor
he
fledde
in
to
the
deserte
/
And
he
eschewed
the

and
therfor

The

Of

Martyn
MArtyne
was
borne
in
the

in

of
Pauonye

but
he
was
nourysshed
in

with
his

/
whiche
was
mayster
and
trybune
of
the
knyghtes
vnder
Constancyen
and
Iulyane
Cezar
/
And
Martyn
rode
with
hym
/
but
not
with
his
wylle
/
For
fro
his
yong
Infancye
he
was
enspyred
deuynely
of
god
/
And
whanne
he
was
twelue
yere
old
/
he
fled
to
the
Chirche
ayenste
the
wylle
of
alle
his
kynne
/
And
requyred
to

And

yf
Infyrmyte
of

had
not
lette

/
And
as

hadde
ordeyned
/
that
the
sones
of
Auncyent
knyghtes
shold
ryde
in
stede
of
their

/
And
Martyn
whiche
was
fyften
yere
old
was
commanded
to
doo
the
same
/
and
was
maad
knyght
/
and
was
contente
with
one
seruaunt
/
And
yet
oftymes
Martyn
wold
serue
hym
/
and
drawe
of
his
botee
/
In
a
wynter
tyme
as
Martyn
passed
by
the
yate
of
Amyens
he
met
a
poure
man
al
naked
/
to
whome
no

Thenne

And
gaf

/
For
he
hadde
nothynge

/
And
he
clad
hym self
with

/
The
next
nyght

he
sawe
oure
lord
Ihesu
crist
in

clothed
with
that
parte
/
that
he
hadde

the
poure

And
sayd
to
the
Aungels
that
were
aboute

/
Martyn
yet
newe
in

hath
couerd
me
with
this
vesture
/
Of
whiche
thynge
this
hooly
man
was
not
enhaunced
in
vayne
glorye
/
But
he
knewe
there
by
the
bounte
of
god
/
And
whanne
he
was
eyghten
yere
of
age
/
he
dyde
do
baptyse
hym self
/
And
promysed
/
that
he
shold
renounce

/
and
also

/
yf

/
Thenne
helde

And
in

And

whiche
shold

gaf

And
Martyn
wyllynge
nomore
to

/
I
am
a

It

Thenne
Iulyan
was
wrothe
/
and
sayd
/
that
it
was
not
for
the
grace
of
Relygyon
/
that
he

but
for

drede
of
the
present
bataylle
folowyng
/
To
whom
Martyn
not

sayd
to
hym
/
by
cause
that
thou
holdest
it
for

/
and
that
I

I

And

And
shalle

And

For

But

they
wold
yelde

wherof

And

And

And

And

For

To

For

In

And

He

And

And

O

yeft
that

This
was

what

For

For

For

The

For
in

Thus

I

denyeth

that
I

I

that

&
to
be
drowned

and
soo
is
it

my

recounted
to
me
/
she
loued
hym
fyrst

and
he
wold
not
consente
to

and
thenne
she
torned
her
lecherous
loue

&
it
ought
not

Impossyble

Soo
Impossyble

On

the

For

thenne
that

But
now
late
vs
retorne

for
thenne
the

were
moche
contrarye
to

be
it
they

And

and
Pepyn
gouernyd
moche
nobly

worshypfully

And
for
as
moche
as
Chylderyk
the
kyng
was
not
prouffytable
/
Pepyn
came
vnto
the
Pope
and
axyd
counceyl
whether
he
shold
be

that
had
but
onelye
the
name
of

And
thenne
the
Pope
answerde
/
that
he
ought
to
haue
the
name
of
the
kyng
that
gouernyd
wel
the
royaulme
/
And
the
frensshe
men
were
enhardyed
wyth
thys
answer
/
and
made
Pepyn
kyng
/
and
closed
chylderyk
in
a
monasterye
aboute

/
And
thenne
whan
astulphus
kynge
of
the
Lombardes
had
despoyled
the
chyrche
of
Rome
of
hyr
possessyons
and
seygnorye

Stephen

came
after
Zacharye
requyred
ayde
and

of
Pepyn
the
kyng
of
Fraunce
ageynste
the
Lombardes
/
and
came
hym self
in
to
fraunce
/
and
thenne
pepyn
assemblyd
a
moche
grete
hoost
/
and
came
in
to
ytalye
/
and
besyeged
the
kynge
astulphus
/
&
vaynquysshed
hym
and
took
of
hym
fourty

that
he

alle
that
he

that

But
whan
Pepyn
was
departed
he
dyd
noo
thynge
of
that
he
had
promysed

sone
after
as

aboute

dagoberte
kynge
of

as
it
is
conteyned
in
a

whiche
had
regned
longe
tyme
tofore
Pepyn
began
fro
his
chyldehode
to
haue
saynt
denys
in
grete
reuerence
/
for
whan
he
feryd
the
angre
of
his
fader
lothare
/
he
fledde
anone
to
the
chirche
of
the
blessyd
saint
denys
/
and
after
whan
he
was
maad
kyng
/
he
loued
&
honoured
hym
strongelye
/
and
after
whan
he
was
dede
/
It
was
shewed
to
an
holy
man
in
a
vysyon
that
his
soule
was
brought
to
the
Iugemente
/
&
many
sayntes
opposed
ayenst
hym
that
he
had
robbyd
her
chyrches
/
&
as
the
wicked
spirites
wolde
haue
rauysshed
&
lad
hym
to
payn
/
the
blessyd
denys
cam
&
delyuerd
hym
/
or
perauenture
the
sowle
of
hym
was
restored
to

&
dyd
penaunce
/
the
kyng
clodoneus
of

vncouerd
saint

more
dyshonestly

than
he
oughte
to

brake
the
boonys
of
hys
arme
and
bare
hem
aweye
couetouslye
/
and
anone
he
wexe
madde
/
In
that
tyme
was
beda
the
honourable
clerke
in
englonde
/
and
how
be
it
that
he
is
acounted
in
the
cathologue
of
sayntes
yet
he
is
not
called
of
holy
chyrche
saynt
bede
/
but
worshypful
bede
/
and
thys
for
double
cause
/
The
fyrste
is
for
his
olde
age
he
was
blynde
/
and
he
had
one
that
ledde
hym
by
townes
and
castellys
where
as
he
prechyd
the
worde
of
our
lord
in
euery
place
/
and
on
a
tyme
he
ledde
hym
by
a
valeye
ful
of
grete
stones
/
and
his
leder
mockyng
hym
sayd
that
there
were
assemblyd
moche
peple
that
were
stylle
for
to
here
his
predycacion
/
And
thenne
beganne
he
to
preche
moche
ardantlye
/
and
at
the
last
ende
he
concluded
with
per
omnia
secula
seculorum
/
and
anone
the
stones
answerde
wyth
an
hye
voys
amen
our
honourable
fader
/
&
by
cause
that
the
stones
callyd
hym
honourable
so
the
chyrche
may
say
wel
that
he
is
honourable
/
The
second
cause
is
that
after
his
dethe
a
moche
deuoute
clerke
desyred
to
make
a
vers
to
sette
on
hys
tombe
/
and
began
in

Hac

/
and
was
ended
wyth
bede

/
but
it
was
no
trewe
vers
/
and
whan
he
coude
not
brynge
it
to
a
trewe
metre
/
he
was
ful
of
thought
alle
a
nyght
/
&
on
the
morne
he
fonde
grauen
on
his
tombe
by
the
handes
of
aungellys
the

ful
maad
in

manere

bachortus
kyng
of

shold
haue
ben
baptysed
/
&
had
thenne
one
foot
in
the
fontstone
/
and
that
other
without
/
and
demaunded
whether
the
more
parte
of
his
predecessours
were
in
helle
or
in
heuen
/
and
whan
he
herde
that
moo
of
them
were
in

than
in

/
he
said
it
is
more
holy
to

the
more
parte
than

&
withdrewe
his
foot
that
was

Thenne

On

dyspreysed
the

that
he
was
ful
lusty

it
happed

sodaynlye
by

theyr

beganne

Thenne
they
cryed

called

but
the

dyd

that
the

took

from

they

For

And

Whyche

And
here
it
is
to
wete
that
in
thys
precyous
sacramente
we
may
consyder
ix
myracles
moche
meruayllous
/
the
whiche
may
be
aprouyd
by
somme
semblaunce
or
lykenesse
of
nature
/
The
fyrst
is
that
the
substaunce
of
the
breed
&
of
the
wyne
is
chaunged
in
to
the
substaunce
of
the
body
&
precious
blood
of

and
thys
is
shewyd
to
vs
by
suche
a
symylytude

lykenesse
naturally
/
that
is
/
that
of
food
of
brede
and
wyne
/
bothe
flesshe
and
blode
are
engendryd
in
creature
/
moche
more
stronger
/
our
lord
that
is
souerayne
nature
/
may
doo
by
vertu
of
his
wordes
/
that
the
bred
and
the
wyne
is
conuerted
in
to
his
owne
body
/
and
in
to
his
precious
blood
/
The
second
myracle
is
that
euery
day
ofte
and
many
tymes
the
breed
is
conuerted
in
to
the
propre
and
owne
body
of
our
lord
/
&
not
withstondyng
none
augmentacyon
or
encrees
is
don
in
god
/
ensaumple
of
nature
/
For
yf
I
wote
a
thynge
secrete
I
may
vttere
and
reherce
hit
in
many
and
dyuers
places
/
and
notwythstondyng
I
ne
wote
it
the
more
ne
better
than
I
dyd
toforne
/
¶
The
thyrd
is
that
euery
day
our
lord
is
parted
and
eten
/
and
hath
no
dymynysshyng
/
that
is
to
say
that
god
nor
the
sacramente
is
not
lesse
therfore
/
reason
naturalle
/
For
yf
I
haue
a
candel
lyght
/
euery
one
may
take
of
the
lyght
of
it
/
wythout
it
be
lessyd
or
dymynysshed
therfore
Also
euery
one
may
take
that
holy
sacramente
withoute
dymynysshyng
of
hit
/
but
who
that
taketh
it
vnworthely
he
dymynyssheth
hym self
/
The
fourth
myracle
is
that
whan
the
hoostye
is
parted
god
is
in
eche
parte
entyerly
/
Ensaumple
of
the
glasse
/
For
whan
the
glasse
is
parted
or
broken
in
to
pyeces
/
in
euery
parte
of
hit
apperyth
the
fygure
of
the
thynge
that
is
presented
before
in
hit
/
The
fyfthe
myracle
is
/
that
yf
thys
precyous
sacramente
be
taken
of
an
euyl
and
synful
creature
/
the
sacramente
of
hit
self
is
not
fowled
therfore
/
For
we
see
that
the
beemes
of
the
sonne
passeth
thorugh
and
ouer
ordure
and
fylthe
/
and
the
sonne
is
nothynge
foule
therfore
/
but
rather
th
ordure
or
fylthe
is
made
clene
therof
/
Thus
it
is
that
somtyme
whan
the
creature
hath
receyued
the
body
of
our
lord
vnworthely
/
consyderyng
that
he
hath
mysdoon
to
haue
receyued
his
sauyour
in
to
so
grete
ordure
or
fylth
of
synne
he
conceyueth
by
bytternesse
or
smartyng
so
grete
a
contrycyon
/
that
he
therfore
retourneth
to
grace
/
and
thus
he
is
pourged
or
made
clene
of
his
synne
The
syxth
myracle
is
/
that
the
body
of
our
lord
Ihesu
cryste
is
sode
of
dethe
to
the
synnars
/
For
Saynt
paule
the
appostle
sayth
/
that
he
that
eteth
it
vnworthely
/
he
eteth
it
to
his
dampnable
Iugemente
/
For
ryght
euen
so
as
stronge
wynes
and
stronge
metes
is
vnprouffytable
or
lettyng
to
seeke
peple
/
ryght
so
is
the
body
of
our
lord
Ihesu
cryste
nuysable
and
lettyng
to
the
synnars
/
¶
The
seuenth
myracle
is
/
that
so
grete
a
thynge
Whyche
alle
the
World
may
not
comprehende
/
is
conteyned
in
soo
lytel

For
we
see
that
a
grete
hylle
may
be
comprysed
and
perceyued
wyth
an
eye
/
moche
more
stronger
/
is
that
the

deuyne
may
be
by
his
puyssaunce
comprysed
and
conteyned
in
a
lytel
hoostye
/
The
viij
myracle
is

that
our
lord
al
entyerly
in

places
attones
is
perceyued
of
dyuers
persones
In
suche
manere
We
see
&
perceyue
that
the
worde
of
a
creature
is
knowen
and
perceyued
in
dyuers
places
attones
of
many
and
dyuers
creatures
/
The
ix
myracle
is
/
whan
the

conuerted

the
precious
body
of
our

the

that

it
is
the
