DescriptionChrist’s last ‘councell’ to his ‘saruant’ is to ‘be humble & meeke, be patient […] cast thy hart vpon heauen, beare the cross of this life for my sake patiently & curragiously, follow me & you shall receiue a crowne of eternall life’ (cf. third leaf, recto and verso). ‘Ye frute’ [of the sermon] begins on the fourth leaf (recto), in which the ‘saruant’ responds to Christ: ‘I will heare what our lord spreadeth to me […].’ This sermon ends with another section entitled ‘he giueth his life’ (fifth leaf, verso). Christ admonishes his ‘Deare chilld’ to cast a final look on his mortal body. There is a final supplication to his ‘Deare father’ to bring eternal life to sons of man. Written in a neat hand.
