¶A devout fruitful and godly remembrance of the passion of our saviour Christ Jesus.
¶A deuoute frutefull and godlye remembraunce of the passion of oure sauioure Christ Iesu.
There are certain which when they exercise them selves in the meditation or remembrance of the passion which Christ suffered for man kind / do nothing else but were wood and furious against the blind Ives and Judas their guide through whom he was betrayed (as an innocent lamb) into their bloody and cruel hands (Even as it is the common manner of them which are wont to lament and bewail the misery of their friends to accuse and cry out on those persons which do the dead) but they nothing consider them which are the chief causes of his better death and passion. So that surely this may better be called a remembrance of the Ives wickedness then of Christs passion.
