Egypte. Cf. Exod. 12.40–42. Tyndale treats the Exodus as a
literal escape from Egypt, not as an allegorical escape from sin.

Reade what thou reade canst / and thou shalt fynd no temptacyon
lyke vnto that from the creacyon of the world / or so greate
as
yt by the hundred parte. So that the wonderfull soden
chaunge and the tereble syght of hys passyon and of hys most
cruell and most vile deeth / and the losse of whom they so
greatly loued / that theyr hertes wolde fayne haue died wyth
hym / and the feare of their awne
deeth / and the impossibilite that a man shulde ryse
agayne of his
awne power / so occupyed theyr myndes and so astonyed
them and amased them / that they coude receaue no comforte /
ether of the
scrypture or of the miracles which they had sene
christ doo / nor of
the monicions and warnynge wherewith he had warned
them before / nether of the women that brought them tydynges
that he was
rysen. The swerd of temptacyons wyth feare / sorow /
mornynge & wepynge / had depely perced theyr hertes / and
the cruell syght. had so combred their mindes / that they coude
not beleue / vntyll
chryst hym selfe came / deeth put off and ouercome /
ye and when they first saw him / they were astonied for
wonderinge and ioye to gether that thoughtes a rose in theyr
hertes / alas ys thys he or doeth some spirite mocke vs? he was
faine to lett them feale him and to eate with them / to
strength theyr faythes.

And at the sight .
. . deed. Tyndale voices a common 16c critique of the emphasis
on compassion with the suffering Christ in late medieval piety. Erasmus
had warned against a merely natural pity for Christ's
sufferings in the Seventeenth Rule of the Enchiridion, 1503 (Holborn 117/12–13; CWE 66.110). Luther was
also critical of this form of affective participation in the passion of
Jesus in Freedom of a Christian, 1520 (WA
7.29/11–13; LW 31.357). Cf. "Passion (mystique de la)" in Dictionnaire de Spiritualité, ed. Marcel Viller
SJ et al., 17 vols. including Index (Paris: Beauchesne, 1937–95)
12.329–32; F.Vandenbroucke, "La devotion au
Crucifié à la fin du moyen âge," Maison Dieu, no.
