Then when Iudas had ſayd theyſe wordes to his ſelawes / they anſwerd we never herde of ſuche thynges / never the leſſe kepe the wel if the quene demaunde the therof / that thou ſay no thynge to hyr / Whan the quene had called them / and demaunded them the place where our lord Iheſu criſte had been crucefyed/ they wold never tell her nor enſygne[19] her /. Then commaunded ſhe to brenne[20] them alle/. But then they doubted and were aferde / & delyvered Iudas to hyr and ſayd / lady thys man is the ſone of a prophete and of a juſte man / and knoweth right wel the lawe / & can telle to you al thynge that ye ſhal demaunde hym/. [Sidenote: 21 _More ado._] Thenne the quene lete al the other goo, and reteyned Iudas without moo[21]/. Thenne ſhe ſhewed to hym his life & dethe & bade hym cheſe whyche he wold. Shewe to me ſayd ſhe the place named golgota where our lord was crucefyed / by cauſe and to the end that we may fynde the croſſe/. Thenne ſayd Iudas, it is two hondred yere paſſed & more / & I was not thenne yet borne. Thenne ſayd to hym the lady / by him that was crucyfyed / I ſhal make the periſſe for hungre/ yf thou telle not to me the trouthe. Thenne made ſhe hym to be caſte into a drye pytte / and there tormented hym by hungre / and evyl reſte / whan he had been ſeuen dayes in that pytte / thenne ſayd he yf I myght be drawen out / he ſhold ſay the trouthe / Thenne he was drawen out / and whan he came to the place / anone the erthe moevyd and a fume of grete ſwettneſſe was felte in ſuche wyſe that Iudas ſmote his hondes togyder for ioye / and ſayd / in trouthe Iheſu criſte thou art the ſavyour of the worlde. [Sidenote: 22 _Twenty Paces._] It was ſo that adryan the Emperour had doo make in the ſame place where the croſſe laye a temple of a goddeſſe by cauſe that all they that come in that place ſhold adoure that goddeſſe/. But the quene did doo deſtroy the temple / Thenne Iudas made hym redy and began to dygge / and whan he came to +xx+ paas[22] depe / he fonde three croſſes and broughte them to the quene / And bycauſe he knewe not whiche was the croſſe of our lord / he leyed them in the myddel of the cyte / and abode the demonſtraunce of god / and aboute the houre of none / there was the corps of a yonge man brought to be buryed / Iudas reteyned the byere / and layed upon hit one of the croſſes / and after the ſecond / and whan he leyed on hit the third / anone the body that was dede came ageyn to lyf/.
