VII.
Spit in my face you Jewes, and pierce my side,
Buffet, and scoffe, scourge, and crucifie mee,
For I have sinn'd, and sinn'd, and onely hee,
Who could do no iniquitie, hath dyed:
But by my death can not be satisfied
My sinnes, which passe the Jewes impiety:
They kill'd once an inglorious man, but I
Crucifie him daily, being now glorified;
Oh let mee then, his strange love still admire:
Kings pardon but he bore our punishment.
And Iacob came cloth'd in vile harsh attire
But to supplant, and with gainfull intent
God cloth'd himselfe in vile mans flesh, that so
Hee might be weake enough to suffer woe.
