It is the most notable place one of them in the whole story of the passion, when he said, Anima mea tristis est, usque ad mor tem, My soul is heavy to death And Con cepisset expavescere, And when he began to […], to shake. The […] of it is […] by his prayer that he made, […], si possibile est. &c. Father, if it be possible, away with this cup, rid me of it. He understood by this cup his pains of death. For he knew well enough, that his passion was at hand, that Judas was come upon him with the […] to take him. There was […] unto him no we the image of death, the image, the sense, the […] of hell: for death and hell go both together. I will entreat of this image of hell which is death. Truly no man can show it perfectly, yet I will do the best I can, to make you understand the grievous pangs that our […] Christ was in, when he was in the garden: As mans power is not able to […] it, so no mans tongue is able to express it. Painters paint death like a man without skin, and a body having nothing but bones. And hell they paint with horrible flames of burning fire: they bungle1 somewhat at it, they come nothing near it. But this is no true painting: No painter can paint hell, unless he could paint the […] and condemnation both of body & soul, the possession and having of all […]. This is hell, this is the image of death, this is hell, such an evil favoured face, such an ugsome countenance, such an horrible visage our saviour Christ saw of death and hell in the garden. There is no pleasure in beholding of it, but more pain than any […] tell. Death and hell […] unto them this evil favoured ⟨image 238⟩face of […], and through sin. This sin is so highly […] of God that he doth pronounce it worthy to be punished with lack of all felicity, with the feeling of infelicity. Death and […] be not only the wages, the reward, the stipend of sin: but they are brought into the world by sin, Per […] mors saith S. Paul through sin death entered into the world. […] showeth the first coming in of it into the world: where as our first father Adam was set at liberty to live for ever: yet God inhibiting him from eating of the apple, told him, If thou meddle with this […], thou and all thy posterity shall fall into necessity of death, from ever living, Mort morieris, thou and all thy posterity shall be subject to death: here came in death and hell. Sin was their mother.
It is the moste notable place one of them in the whole story of the passion, when he sayd, Anima mea tristis est, vsque ad mor tem, My soule is heauy to death And Cū cepisset expauescere, And whan he began to , to shake. The of it is by his prayer that he made, , si possibile est. &c. Father, if it be possible, away with this cup, ryd me of it. He vnderstode by this cup his paines of death. For he knew well inough, that his passion was at hande, that Iudas was come vpon him with the to take hym. Ther was vnto hym no we the image of death, the image, the sence, the of hell: fo death and hell go bothe together. I will entreate of this image of hell which is deathe. Truely no man can shewe it perfectly, yet I will doo the best I can, to make you vnderstād the greuous panges that our Christ was in, when he was in the gardein: As mans power is not able to it, so no mans tongue is able to expresse it.
