But our Saviour Christ did not only command his Disciples to pray, but fell down upon his knees flat upon1 the ground and prayed himselfe, saying: Pater […], transeat à me calix iste. Father, deliver me of this pang and pain that I am in, this outrageous pain, this word, Father, came even from the bowels of his heart, when he made his moan, as who should say, Father rid me, I am in such pain that I can be in no greater? Thou art my Father, I am thy son, Can the father forsake his Son in such anguish? Thus he made his moan. Father, take away this […] of death from me, rid me of this pain, suffer me not to be taken when Judas comes, suffer me not to be banged on the cross, suffer not my […] to be pierced with […] nor my heart with the sharp spear. A wonderful thing, that he should so oft tell his […] of it before, and now when he cometh to the paint, to desire to be rid of […] thought he would have been disobedient to the will of his father. Afore he said, he came to suffer, and now he says away with this cup. Who would have thought that ever this gear should have come out of Christs mouth: What a case is this? What should a man say? You must understand, that ⟨p. 91⟩Christ […] upon him our infirmities, of the which this2 was one, to be sorry at death. Among the stipends of […] this was one, to […] at the cross, this is a punishment for our sin.

Thou arte my Father, I am thy sonne, Can the father forsake hys Sonne in suche anguish? Thus he made hys mone. Father, take away this 〈…〉 of death from me, ryd me of thys payne, suffer me not to be taken when Judas comes, suffer me not to bee bāged on the crosse, suffer not my to be perced wt nor my harte with the sharpe speare. A wonderfull thynge, that he shoulde so oft tel his of it before, and nowe when he commeth to the paynte, to desyre to be rydde of thought he woulde haue bene disobediente to the wyll of hys father. Afore he sayed, he came to suffer, and now he sayes away with this cup. Who woulde haue thought yt euer this geare should haue come out of Christes mouth: What a case is this? What shuld a man say? You must vnderstande, that
