Septima Pars Iohannis.

[Cryste of the thefe which on the ryght hand was]

Cryste of the thefe which on the ryght hand was
And axid mercy to vs thou made a praye
That we lyke wyse shuld for our trespasse
Are of the mercy and shewe no delaye
Nor for Erthly thynges caste ourselfe away
For who of thy Crosse accomptyth lytle store
The meryte of thy passion he losyth euermore
This manfull Knyght this prynce victorious
Which toke thy Crosse on hym with great payne
He folowed the thefe and axyd mercy thus
For his offence he warred thy Foes agayne
And shad theyr blode on hyll and eke on playne


And all for loue good Lorde he had to the
Wherefore swete Iesu on hym thou haue pytie
Of whom the Bowellys at carleyll/& the trunke
At fount Ebrarde full Rychely is dight
The harte at Roan into the erth is sunke
Of the worthy Richarde and so in thre is twyght
That more than one whylom was in myght
In erth is seperat that lyuynge more than one
Was and of grace founde lyke to hym none


[The Kynge of Kynges that Lorde that Ruleth all]

The Kynge of Kynges that Lorde that Ruleth all
And in whose power all thynge is conteynyd
This Realme for synne he dystroy shall
With dowble plage be thereof asserteyned
Except the people here after be refrayned
From synne and them to vertuous lyfe alye
And vyce before vsyd vtterly renye.


[O qm̄ mirabilia/good Lorde thy werkys been]

O qm̄ mirabilia/good Lorde thy werkys been
In punysshement of Synners by thy myght wondersly
As by olde storyes it is playnly seen
One synner the other hath correcte vtterly
As Aalizaunder/with Iulius/Pompey/and Tholomy


And many other which as thy scourgys were
To punysshe Synners and themselfe also dere
In lyke wyse nowe Reder if thou liste take hede
And wele reuolue in mynde this history
Of theyse .iii. Prynces and loke wele on theyr dede
Thou shalt conceyue that they dyd wyckydly
I meane Kynge Iohn̄/Phylyp/and Ottony
Which vnto Synne made them selfe so thrall
That of Pope Innocent they were accursyd all
Wherefore God sufferyd that one the other to greue
And warre and chase with dedlye hate and stryfe
Gladde that one the other to myscheue
Manassynge eche other with Spere/Swerde/and Knyfe
With cruell Batayll durynge theyr Synfull lyfe
Wherefore I maye conclude/in factis horum
That Multa sunt flagella peccatorum.
