Here haye they in that self same stound,

This wood within the water found.,

And there of it a cross they made.,

Which Christ did carry, sore dismay’d.

35.

Christ with the cross is loaded here^

Which he for our misdeeds did bear;

On it the penalty to pay
WhicR, for his sins, on Adam lay.

36.

Here Christ upon the cross is laid.,
Blasphem’d., and scoff'd., and sore dismay’d;
And there the penalty hath paid,,

Which God for sin on Adam laid.
