After the Paschal lambe he giveth them the bread of life (Jo. 6.) in a mystical Sacrifice or separation of his bodie and bloud 27. and that night, is after his prayer, 43. taken of the Jewes men, Judas being their Captaine: is forsaken of the other eleven for feare: 53. is falsly accused and impiously condemned of the Jewes Councel: 65. and shamefully abused of them: 66. and thrise denied of Peter. Al even as the Scriptures and himself had often foretold.

TENEBRE wenesday.Mat. 26, 1.
Lu. 22, 1.AND the Pasche was, and the Azymes after two dayes: and the cheefe Priests and the Scribes sought how they might by some wile lay hands on him, and kil him. ²But they said: Not on the festival day, lest there might be a tumult of the People.

³And Mat. 26, 6.
Joan. 12, 3.* when he was at Bethania in the house of Simon the Leper, and sate at meate, there came a woman having an alabaster boxe of ointment, of pretious spike-narde; and breaking the alabaster-boxe, she powred it out upon his head. ⁴But there were certaine that had indignation within them selves, and said: Whereto is ″ this wast of the ointment made? ⁵For this ointment might have been sold for more then three hundred pence, and given to the poore. And they murmured against her. ⁶But Jesus said: ″ Let her alone, why do you molest her? she hath wrought a good worke upon me. ⁷For the poore you have alwayes with you; and when you wil, you may doe them good; but ^[1] me you have not alwayes. ⁸That which she had, she hath done; she hath prevented to anoint my body to the burial. ⁹Amen I say to you, wheresoever this Ghospel shal be preached in the whole world, that also which she hath done, shal be told for a memorie of her.

Lu. 22, 7.* the first day of the Azymes when they sacrificed the Pasche, the Disciples say to him: Whither wilt thou that we goe, and prepare for thee to eate the Pasche? ¹³And he sendeth two of his Disciples, and saith to them: Goe ye into the citie; and there shal meet you a man carying a pitcher of water, folow him; ¹⁴and whithersoever he entreth, say to the Maister of the house, that the Maister saith, where is my refectorie, where I may eate the Pasche with my Disciples? ¹⁵And he wil shew you a great chamber, adorned; and there prepare for us. ¹⁶And his Disciples went their wayes, and came into the citie; and they found as he had told them, and they prepared the Pasche. ¹⁷And Jo. 13, 21.* when even was come, he commeth with the Twelve. ¹⁸And when they were sitting at the table and eating, Jesus said: Amen I say to you, that one of you shal betray me, he that eateth with me. ¹⁹But
