Lettering

Jesus positis genibus, orbat, dicens, Pater, si vis, transfer calicem istum a me. Veruntamen non mea voluntas, sed tua fiat. Et ipse correptus angore intentius orabat. Et factus est sudor ejus sicut guttæ saguinis decurretis in terram. Luc. XXII. M. de Vos inventor. Joan. Sadeler scalpsit 1582.
