The Wandring Jew ; OR , The Shoomaker of Ierusam , w●o lived when our Sauiour Christ was crucified , and appoynted by him to live untill his comming againe . To the tune of , The Ladies Fall .

WHen as in faire Jerusalem our Saviour Christ did live , And for the sins of all the world , his owne deare life did give ; The wicked Jewes with scoffs and scornes did daily him molest , That never till he left his life , out Saviour could have rest . When they had crown'd his head with thorns , and scourg'd him in disgrace , In scornfull sort they led him forth unto his dying place , Where thousand thousands in the street beheld him passe along , Yet not one gentle heart was there that pittied thus his wrong . Both old and young reviled him , as in the streets he went , And nothing found but churlish taunts , by every ones consent : His owne dear Crosse he bore himselfe , a burthen far too great , Which made him in the streets to faint , and blood and water sweat . Being weary , thus he sought to rest and ●ase his burthen'd Soule Vpon a stone , the which a wretch did churlishly controule ; And said away thou King of Jewes , thou shalt not rest thee here , Passe o● , thy execution place thou see'st now draweth neére . And hereupon he thrust him thence , at which our Saviour said I sure will rest , but thou shall walke , and have no journey staid : With that this cursed Shoomaker , for offering Christ this wrong . Left Wife and Children house and all , and went from thence along . Where after he had seene the blood of Jesus Christ thus shed , And to the Crosse his body nayld , away with speed he fled , Without returning back againe unto his dwelling place , But wandering up and downe the world , a runnagate most base .
The Second part ; to the same tune . NO resting could he find at all , no ease of hearts content , No house , no home nor byding place , but wandring forth he went , From Town to Town in forraign Lands with grieved Conscience still , Repenting sore the hainous guilt of his fore-passed ill . Thus after some few Ages past , in wandring up and downe , He much againe desir'd to sée Jerusalems renowne : But finding it all quite destroy'd , he wandred thence with woe , Our Saviours words which he had spoke to verifie and show . I le rest ( saith he ) but thou shalt walke , so doth this wandring Jew From place to place , but cannot stay , for seeking Countries new : Declaring still the power of him , whereas he comes and goes , And of all things done in the East since Christ his death , he showes . The world he hath halfe compast round , and seene those Nations strange , That hearing of the Name of Christ , their Idoll gods doe change : To whom he hath told wondrous things , of times fore-past and gone , And to the Princes of the world declares his cause of mone ; Desiring still to be dissolv'd , and yeeld his mortall breath : But yet the Lord hath thus decréed , he shall not yet sée death ; For neither lookes he old or young , but as he did those times When Christ did suffer on the Crosse for mortall sinners Crimes . He passed many a forraigne place , Arabia , Aegypt , Africa , Grecia , Syria , and great Thrace , and through all Hungaria : Where Paul and Peter preached Christ , those blest Apostles de●re ; Where he hath told our Saviours words in Countries farre and neere . And lately in Bohemia , with many a German Towne , And now in Flanders , as is thought , he wandreth up and downe : Where learned men with him confers , of these his lingring ●ayes And wondring much to heare him tell his journeys and his wayes . If people giveth this Jew an Almes , the most that he will take Is not above a Groat a time , which he for Iesus sake Will kindly give unto the poore , and thereof make no spare , Affirming still , that Iesus Christ of him hath dayly care . He nere was séene to langh nor smile , but wéepe and make great mone , Lamenting still his miseries , and dayes for-past and gone . If he heard any one blaspheme , and take Gods Name in vaine , He tells them that they crucifie their Master Christ againe . If you had séene him dye , sayes he , as these mine eyes have done , Ten thousand times a day would ye his torments thinke upon , And suffer for his sake all pains , all torments , and all woes ; These are his words , and this his life , whereas he comes and goes .
FINIS .
