Mark you not what in his grace he did say? Thou hast sent thy son anointed with the holy ghost By these words evidently understand we may, That to be the son of God of himself he doth boast. Whereof do you ii talk what is the matter, Is there any thing that doth grudge your conscience? This is the truth of our talk yea I will not flatter, Your gest said a word whereof I would have intelligence He thanked God at this time now appointed, That on men's sins he had pity and compassion, And hath sent his son with his spirit anointed, Which for his sin should make satisfaction. Hath God into this world sent his own son? Or who is the son of God I would be glad to know Like as now he speaketh, so oft times he hath done, The time and place I am able to show. I pray you my guest his mind do you satisfy, It is said, that the son of God you do yourself call. I am come into this world the truth to testify, Whereof the scripture and the Prophets do witness all If I of myself should bear testimony, My witness of you should not be taken as true, But there is an other that witnesseth of me verily. And I know that his testimony is true. Of man truly no testimony do I take: But I speak these words that saved you might be. The son of God is sent hither for your sake, Whom in the glory of his majesty you shall se. The works which to me the father doth give, That I may do them, those works to you I say, Bear witness, if you have the grace to believe, That the father hath sent me into the world this day. Besides these works, the father that hath me sent, Hath by many scriptures of me testified: By the which the matter is evident, That my words spoken before are verified. But the father you have never heard speaking, And what he is by faith you have never seen: His word you have not in you remaining. Therfore to him whom he hath sēt faithful you haue not bē Search that scriptures, for you think in your mind That in them you shall obtain life eternal, Them to bear witness of me you shall find, How I am the son of the living God immortal. Well sir, you are welcome, I would not have you to think That I did bid you hither to tempt or to prove, But that I would have you both to eat and drink, Even as my entire friend, and for very love. Wherefore any thing that is here done or said, Shallbe laid under foot, and go no further, For surely if your words should be betrayed, As a blasphemer the people would you murder,
