that_o which_o be_v crooked_a can_v none_o make_v straight_o this_o fact_n then_o of_o thomas_n be_v a_o fault_n and_o it_o be_v amplify_v here_o by_o three_o circumstance_n especial_o 1._o that_o he_o be_v one_o of_o the_o twelve_o not_o to_o believe_v the_o resurrection_n of_o christ_n be_v a_o sin_n in_o a_o ordinary_a christian_a in_o a_o disciple_n yet_o great_a but_o in_o a_o apostle_n pontan_n so_o well_o instruct_v and_o so_o well_o belove_v it_o be_v great_a of_o all_o 2._o for_o that_o he_o give_v no_o credit_n to_o the_o report_n of_o his_o fellow_n disciple_n although_o his_o master_n have_v often_o say_v 10.16_o he_o that_o despise_v you_o despise_v i_o moreover_o they_o be_v the_o jansen_n great_a part_n of_o the_o company_n ten_o against_o one_o and_o each_o of_o

do_v vent_v his_o incredulous_a thought_n in_o such_o a_o bold_a and_o peremptory_a stile_n except_o i_o see_v in_o his_o hand_n the_o print_n of_o the_o nail_n nay_o that_o be_v not_o enough_o except_o i_o feel_v the_o print_n except_o i_o put_v my_o finger_n into_o the_o print_n of_o the_o nail_n every_o one_o be_v so_o big_a as_o my_o finger_n except_o i_o thrust_v my_o hand_n into_o his_o side_n and_o search_v his_o wound_n so_o great_a as_o my_o hand_n except_o with_o hand_n and_o finger_n i_o nat_n measure_v both_o and_o find_v by_o due_a proportion_n that_o they_o be_v the_o same_o i_o can_v believe_v nay_o the_o truth_n be_v i_o will_v not_o believe_v from_o hence_o then_o observe_v that_o the_o 2.14_o natural_a man_n if_o christ_n once_o leave_v he_o be_v not_o able_a to_o discern_v the_o thing_n of_o god_n especial_o that_o hard_a article_n concern_v the_o resur_n rection_n it_o seem_v as_o a_o 24.11_o feign_a thing_n to_o such_o as_o with_o their_o sense_n only_o seek_v their_o saviour_n thus_o much_o of_o the_o fault_n i_o proceed_v now_o to_o the_o faith_n of_o thomas_n and_o here_o the_o doctor_n have_v move_v a_o double_a doubt_n 1._o whether_o thomas_n do_v touch_v the_o wound_n of_o christ_n or_o no._n 2._o whether_o his_o speech_n my_o lord_n and_o my_o god_n be_v a_o exclamation_n or_o a_o acclamation_n for_o the_o first_o it_o be_v think_v by_o lit_fw-fr some_o that_o he_o do_v not_o touch_v the_o wound_n of_o christ_n and_o that_o for_o these_o two_o reason_n especial_o first_o because_o christ_n say_v in_o the_o 29_o verse_n thom_n be_v because_o thou_o have_v see_v i_o thou_o have_v believe_v and_o not_o because_o thou_o have_v touch_v i_o second_o for_o that_o it_o be_v probable_a that_o thomas_n hear_v his_o master_n voice_n and_o see_v his_o countenance_n be_v abundant_o satisfy_v without_o any_o further_a enquiry_n but_o these_o objection_n in_o the_o judgement_n of_o the_o most_o les_fw-fr ancient_a and_o best_a learned_a expositor_n be_v very_o weak_a because_o christ_n in_o the_o 27._o verse_n say_v express_o put_v thy_o finger_n hither_o and_o see_v my_o hand_n etc._n etc._n what_o as_o augustine_n dispute_v in_o 121._o tract_n in_o joan._n have_v thomas_n hâs_v eye_n in_o his_o finger_n if_o not_o then_o see_v in_o that_o text_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o touch_v put_v thy_o finger_n and_o see_v for_o see_v

of_o his_o master_n instant_o become_v satisfy_v in_o himself_o yet_o that_o every_o scruple_n may_v be_v remove_v out_o of_o he_o and_o our_o mind_n our_o bless_a saviour_n suffer_v his_o glorious_a

touch_v his_o foot_n matth_n 28.9_o they_o take_v he_o by_o the_o foot_n and_o worship_v he_o it_o be_v plain_a then_o that_o mary_n be_v suffer_v to_o touch_v and_o only_o forbid_v when_o she_o do_v it_o too_o much_o second_o mary_n believe_v the_o resurrection_n of_o christ_n and_o marlorat_n therefore_o have_v no_o such_o need_n to_o touch_v he_o as_o thomas_n have_v three_o christ_n do_v

as_o if_o christ_n shall_v say_v you_o need_v not_o be_v so_o fond_a and_o forward_a in_o touch_v i_o nowfor_o i_o mean_v not_o as_o yet_o to_o depart_v from_o you_o but_o go_v tell_v my_o brethren_n
