What comes of this gear in the end Well, now he prayeth again, he resorteth to his father again. Angore correptus prolixius orabat. He was in sorer pains, in more anguish, then ever he was, and therefore he prayeth longer, more ardent lye, more fervently, more vehemently, then ever he did before.

What comes of thys geare in the ende Well, nowe he prayeth agayne, he resorteth to hys father agayne. Angore correptus prolixius orabat. He was in sorer paines, in more anguishe, then euer he was, and therefore he prayeth longer, more ardente lye, more feruentelye, more vehementli, then euer he did before.

Oh Lord,¹ what a wonderful thing is this, this horror of death is worse then death it self, more ugsome, more bitter then any bodily death. He prayeth now the third time. He did it so instantly, so fervently, that it brought out a bloody sweat, & such plenty that it dropped down even to the ground. ⟨image 209⟩There issued out of his precious body drops of blood. What a pain was he in, when these bloody drops fell so abundantly from him?² Yet for all that, how unthankful do we show our selves toward him that dyed only for our sakes, and for the remedy of our since. Oh what blasphemy do we commit day by day, what little regard have we to his blessed passion thus to swear by God's blood,³ by Christs passion. We have nothing in no pastime, but gods blood gods wounds. We continually blaspheme his passion in hawking hunting, dissing, and carding Who would think he should have such enemies among those that profess his name. ⟨image 209⟩What became of his blood that fell down trow ye?
