When as in fair Jerusalem, our Saviour Christ did live, And for the sins of all the world, his own dear life did give: The wicked Jews with Scoffs and Scorns, did daily him molest, That never till he left his life, our Saviour could not rest. when they had crown'd his head with thorns and scourg'd him to disgrace, In scornful sort they led him forth unto his dying place, Where thousand thousands in the street, beheld him pass along, Yet not one gentle heaat was there, that pittied this his wrong. Both Old and Young reviled him as in the street he went, And nothing found but churlish Taunts by every ones consent: His own dear Cross he bore himself; a burthen far too great, Which made him in the street to faint, with blood and water sweat.
Being weary thus, he sought for rest, and ease his burthened soul, Upon a stone the which a wretch, did churlishly controul: And said away thou King of Jews, thou shalt not rest thee here, Pass on, thy Execution place, thou see'st now draweth near. And thereupon he thrust him thence, at which our Saviour said, I sure will rest, but thou shalt walk, and have no journey staid, With that this cursed Shooe-Maker, for offering Chist this wrong, Left Wife and Children, house and all, and went from thence along. Where after he had seen the blood, of Jesus Christ thus shed, And to the Cross his body nail'd, away with speed he fled, Without returning back again, unto his dwelling place, And wandring up and down the world, a Runnagate most base.
NO resting could he find at all, no ease of heart content, No house, no home, no biding place, but wandring forth he went, From town to town, in forreign Lands, with grieved conscience still, Repenting for the hanious Guilt, of his forepassed ill. Thus ofter some few ages past, in wandring up and down, He much again desir'd to see, Jerusalems renown: But finding it all quite destroy'd, he wandred thence with woe, Our Saviours words which he had spoke, to verifie and show. I'le rest said he, but thou shalt walk, so doth this wandring Jew, From place to place but cannot rest, for seeing Countries new, Declaring still the power of him whereas he comes or goes, And of all things done in the East, since Christ his death he shows. The world he hath still compast round, and seen those Nations strange, That hearing of the name of Christ, their Idol Gods do change: To whom he hath told wondrous things, of times forepast and gone, And to the Princes of the World, declares his cause of moan. Desiring still to be dissolv'd and yield his mortal breath, But if the Lord hath thus decreed, he shall not yet see Death: For neither looks he old or young, but as he did those times, When Christ did suffer on the Cross, for mortal sinners crimes,
[H]e passed many a forreign place, Arabia, AEgyp, Africa, Greciae, Syria, and great Thrace, and through all Hungaria, Where Paul and Peter Preached Christ, those blest Apostles dear, Where he had told our saviours words, in Countries far and near. And lately in Bohemia, with many a German Town And now in Flander, as 'tis thought, he wandreth up and down; Where learned men with him confer, of those his lingering days, And wondring much to hear him tell, his Journeys and his ways. If people gives this Jew an alms, the most that he will take, Is not above a Groat a time, which he for Jesus sake, Will kindly give unto the poor, and thereof make no spare, Affirming still that Jesus Christ, of him hath daily care. He ne'r was seen to laugh or smile, but weep and make great moan, Lamenting still his miseries, and days forepast and gone: If he hear any one Blaspheme, or take Gods name in vain, He tells them that they crucifie, their Saviour Christ again. If thou had'st seen grim death, says he, as these mine eyes have done, Ten thousand thousand times would ye, his torments think upon: And suffer for his sake all pain, of torments and all woes, These are his words and eke his life, whereas he comes or goes.
