Iesus is diuersly molested the night in which he is apprehended I Giue THEE thankes O sweet IESVS that in the night of thy Passion thou wert scorned and deluded Luke 22. Chap. 23. smitten of thine enemies and diuersly iniured and molested Thou knowest O LORD how grieuous troublesome it is to mee to beare and suffer the least wrong or iniurie Thou knowest that my will and desire is slow and slacke to all vertue and that all good affections and appetites waxe cold in me O Lord for thy mercy help my infirmitie mortifie in mee all carnall affections as heate of anger hope of reuenge and quicken thy graces within mee Grant that for no aduersitie my minde be throwne downe or deiected Help me that I faint not vnder the burden of tribulations which shall fall vpon mee neyther let me repine at the iniuries done vnto mee by others but giuing thee thankes for all things I may referre all things to the honour and glory of thy Name Iesus is accused before Pilate I Giue thee thankes O Lord Iesu that standing before Pontius Pilate Mar. 12.17 thou diddest not answere vnto the false complaints and accusations wherewith they did iniure thee diddest passe ouer all things with silence euen like a meek lambe which openeth not his mouth but is mute before the shearer Grant mee ô Lord that the reproches murmurings or reuilings of wicked men make me not to swel against them or puffe me vp with enuy but that being taught by thy example I may ouercome all them when the case so requires by silence and taciturnitie that slander or impeach my good name Giue me the grace of perfect Humilitie that I may neyther desire that men praise me nor be afraid to be dispraised for thee But to comfort mee with the reward of blessednes that thou hast assured them that are reuiled and suffer persecution for righteousnes sake namely that theirs is the Kingdome of heauen Mat. 5.10.11.12 quod eis magna est merces in coelis that great is their reward in heauen Iesus brought before Herod I Giue thee thankes O sweet IESVS King of Heauen and Earth that with great stirre and fury of the people thou wert brought before Herod Luke 23.7 by the commandement of Pilate Giue mee fortitude ô Lord that persecutions may not confound mee nor the iniuries of my enemies prouoke mee to anger nor that their impudencie make mee to blush or be ashamed but that I may beare all things with meeknesse patience and ouer-come with silence according to the prescript of thy Commandements remembring alwaies whose cause I haue in hand and that thou denyest them before thy Father that deny thee before men Strengthen me ô Lord in thy cause and quarrell for thou art greater then the Princes of the earth and canst make thy seruants to stand against them Iesus is accused before Herod I Giue thee thankes O holy IESVS that standing before Herod Luke 23.9 10. and accused before the chiefe Priests and Elders of many crimes and iniquities thou wouldest answere to nothing but didst iustifie thy cause by holding thy peace Giue mee the gift of silence ô Lord that I haue not at any time a desire to speak vaine idle or vnclean speeches nor that I waste not my time in discoursing of barraine and vnfruitfull matters but grant that my tongue vtter nothing that is not iust honest profitable and consonant to thy holy will Let mee detest ô Lord the vice of backebiting and that I be still pleased to heare speake well of all men And when they shall band themselues to plot my destruction yet make me to pray for them and in all things to be milde and mercifull Luke 6.36 as my heauenly father is mercifull Iesus is iudged more wicked then Barrabas I Giue thee thankes O sweet Iesu that being compared with that infamous murderer Barrabas Marke 15.15 Act. 3.14 thou wert iudged worse and more vnworthy of life then hee so that homycide was set at libertie and thou the author of life condemned to dye O King of eternall glory what greater infamie could thy maiestie be afflicted with From hence O LORD from hence it appeares that thou art that liuely stone disallowed of men which God neuerthelesse hath chosen to himselfe and placed in the head corner Grant ô Lord that I may preferre nothing before thee that for any thing I be not changed from thee but that I may account all things as vile and base that are compared vnto thee Grant that the poyson of enuy neuer infect my minde but that I may alwayes rest in thee and place my saluation in thee Iesus is whipped IEsu I giue thee thanks that being spoyled of thy garments Mar. 15.15 thou sufferedst thy chaste holy and naked flesh to be looked vpon and afterwards wouldest abide to be scourged and whipped that by thy wounds our wounds might be healed O Lord despoyle my heart of all vncleane cogitations dis-robe me of the old man with all his workes and cloath mee with the new man which is created to thy image and similitude in Iustice and holinesse and grant that with all patience and humilitie I may abide the scourge of thy fatherly visitation Iesus is crowned with thornes I Giue thee thankes O bountifull Iesu for that thou wert so diuersly illuded after so great enuies so many wounds Mar. 15.17 and after thy bloud so plentifully shed through thy whole body to thy greater reproach they attyred thee with a purple garment put a crowne of thornes vpon thy head with a Reed in thy hand in stead of a Scepter and bending their knees saluted thee as King or rather mocked thee saying Haile King of the Iewes Let ô Lord the memorie of this miserable Tragedie be euer imprinted in my heart and neuer blotted out of my remembrance Fixe thy charitie in my mind that I may onely loue thee thinke of thee and of thy iniuries and so euer rest and depend on thee That neyther tribulation miseries nor persecutions separate mee from thee neyther let it be grieuous vnto me at any time if I be dispised contemned mocked and derided of men for thy sake Iesus speaketh to the women I Giue thee thankes O good Iesu that in this
