indeed_o joseph_n and_o nicodemus_n who_o bury_v he_o be_v two_o honourable_a man_n but_o a_o angel_n be_v a_o hundred_o time_n more_o honourable_a and_o glorious_a than_o any_o man_n albeit_o he_o

say_v who_o seek_v you_o here_o and_o when_o they_o say_v jesus_n of_o nazareth_n than_o he_o answer_v i_o be_o he_o these_o word_n do_v testify_v that_o witting_o and_o willing_o he_o offer_v

next_o to_o let_v we_o see_v that_o impudency_n of_o the_o traitor_n judas_n how_o dare_v he_o face_v the_o lord_n jesus_n who_o he_o betray_v a_o traitor_n be_v ay_o impudent_a and_o shameless_a he_o have_v ay_o a_o hard_a heart_n and_o then_o a_o brazen_a face_n to_o the_o man_n who_o he_o have_v betray_v you_o see_v how_o dangerous_a a_o thing_n it_o be_v once_o to_o harden_v the_o heart_n against_o christ_n and_o once_o to_o begin_v to_o do_v evil_a against_o conscience_n if_o thy_o heart_n begin_v once_o to_o be_v endure_v thou_o shall_v not_o come_v back_o whilst_o thou_o come_v to_o

he_o come_v to_o that_o final_a induration_n and_o hardness_n of_o heart_n therefore_o far_o be_v it_o from_o we_o once_o to_o begin_v to_o harden_v our_o heart_n against_o the_o lord_n if_o thou_o

and_o against_o jesus_n christ_n it_o be_v to_o be_v fear_v that_o these_o man_n who_o with_o the_o betrayer_n of_o jesus_n christ_n have_v set_v their_o face_n against_o christ_n &_o his_o true_a

this_o word_n that_o he_o speak_v i_o be_o he_o for_o these_o word_n be_v no_o soon_o speak_v albeit_o they_o be_v few_o and_o gentle_a but_o they_o be_v all_o amaze_v tremble_v and_o fall_v down_o

question_n this_o be_v to_o let_v they_o see_v that_o the_o lord_n need_v not_o to_o have_v be_v take_v with_o they_o except_o it_o have_v be_v his_o own_o will_n no_o it_o be_v not_o possible_a for_o

no_o power_n to_o lay_v hand_n on_o he_o if_o it_o have_v not_o be_v his_o own_o will_n and_o no_o doubt_n he_o have_v have_v a_o respect_n unto_o they_o howbeit_o they_o be_v enemy_n to_o he_o yet_o

and_o that_o they_o put_v hand_n to_o the_o lord_n of_o glory_n and_o slay_v the_o lord_n of_o life_n we_o may_v gather_v of_o the_o effect_n of_o this_o word_n that_o if_o such_o a_o sober_a and_o

any_o further_a to_o let_v we_o see_v how_o witting_o and_o willing_o how_o joyfullie_o and_o glad_o and_o how_o patient_o he_o offer_v himself_o unto_o death_n for_o our_o sin_n now_o he_o have_v

at_o this_o time_n because_o the_o disciple_n that_o be_v concredite_fw-la unto_o he_o escape_v at_o this_o time_n mark_v brethren_n it_o be_v true_a indeed_o that_o the_o prophecy_n proper_o be_v to_o be_v understand_v not_o so_o much_o of_o a_o safety_n in_o this_o life_n present_o as_o of_o a_o spiritual_a safety_n to_o life_n everlasting_a this_o be_v the_o meaning_n yet_o it_o have_v

import_v that_o spiritual_a safety_n &_o the_o life_n to_o come_v as_o by_o the_o contrary_a the_o endanger_n of_o the_o present_a life_n endanger_v the_o life_n to_o come_v if_o the_o disciple_n

and_o so_o they_o have_v hazard_v not_o only_o this_o life_n but_o also_o the_o life_n to_o come_v because_o that_o the_o disciple_n be_v as_o yet_o but_o child_n in_o jesus_n christ_n and_o be_v not_o strengthen_v enough_o with_o the_o power_n of_o christ_n and_o woe_n be_v to_o that_o soul_n that_o will_v deny_v jesus_n christ_n and_o chief_o in_o death_n there_o be_v not_o one_o who_o will_v suffer_v their_o little_a finger_n only_o to_o be_v burn_v for_o the_o cause_n of_o christ_n except_o he_o be_v strengthen_v with_o the_o power_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o there_o be_v not_o one_o that_o will_v now_o suffer_v affliction_n but_o they_o who_o be_v guard_v with_o the_o power_n of_o god_n and_o therefore_o you_o see_v here_o god_n mercy_n towards_o his_o disciple_n this_o be_v the_o merciful_a deal_n of_o god_n with_o his_o own_o he_o will_v never_o let_v one_o of_o his_o own_o be_v tempt_v but_o he_o will_v give_v they_o power_n to_o bear_v out_o the_o temptation_n and_o he_o will_v never_o suffer_v they_o to_o be_v tempt_v till_o he_o give_v they_o ability_n and_o when_o he_o have_v give_v they_o strength_n than_o the_o lord_n will_v lay_v on_o the_o burden_n it_o be_v a_o wonderful_a thing_n the_o heavy_a the_o burden_n be_v that_o the_o lord_n lay_v on_o his_o own_o the_o great_a strength_n he_o give_v they_o to_o sustain_v it_o the_o world_n have_v

their_o latter_a breath_n the_o world_n wonder_v at_o this_o the_o heavy_a that_o the_o death_n have_v be_v the_o great_a have_v the_o power_n of_o god_n be_v and_o the_o great_a have_v the_o life_n of_o jesus_n be_v in_o the_o martyr_n and_o these_o disciple_n who_o he_o spare_v now_o when_o he_o see_v that_o they_o be_v ripe_a spare_v he_o they_o then_o no_o no_o what_o be_v the_o whole_a

that_o the_o lord_n be_v rise_v in_o the_o grave_n he_o may_v instruct_v they_o better_o by_o the_o emptiness_n and_o roomenesse_n of_o the_o grave_n that_o the_o lord_n be_v rise_v from_o the_o

he_o be_v a_o minister_n of_o mercy_n to_o the_o godly_a woman_n i_o say_v more_o at_o that_o same_o time_n whilst_o as_o he_o chase_v away_o the_o wicked_a in_o do_v of_o that_o he_o show_v mercy_n to_o the_o godly_a and_o he_o terrify_v the_o wicked_a that_o they_o shall_v not_o be_v a_o stop_n or_o terror_n to_o the_o godly_a all_o the_o terror_n and_o judgement_n of_o the_o wicked_a as_o they_o serve_v to_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n so_o they_o serve_v for_o the_o well_o of_o his_o own_o for_o the_o lord_n have_v not_o only_o his_o own_o glory_n before_o his_o eye_n but_o also_o of_o the_o â—ell_o of_o his_o own_o then_o consider_v again_o the_o circumstance_n of_o the_o place_n wherein_o the_o angel_n teach_v these_o woman_n the_o resurrection_n of_o jesus_n christ_n the_o father_n of_o heaven_n be_v very_o careful_a of_o every_o circumstance_n that_o serve_v for_o the_o testimony_n of_o christ_n resurrection_n first_o he_o be_v careful_a of_o the_o
they_o see_v the_o stone_n away_o froâ—_n the_o sepulchre_n as_o the_o first_o do_v and_o they_o enter_v into_o the_o grave_n as_o the_o first_o â—id_v but_o they_o find_v not_o the_o body_n of_o

that_o be_v in_o these_o woman_n be_v worthy_a of_o praise_n so_o the_o apostle_n carelessness_n of_o their_o lord_n can_v be_v praise_v for_o it_o become_v they_o to_o have_v come_v out_o first_o &_o

no_o doubt_n the_o force_n of_o his_o resurrection_n be_v more_o powerful_a in_o the_o poor_a woman_n than_o it_o be_v in_o the_o very_a apostle_n for_o all_o this_o spiritual_a courage_n flow_v

in_o the_o first_o epistle_n to_o the_o thessalonian_o the_o five_o chapter_n and_o the_o third_o verse_n but_o behold_v the_o end_n when_o they_o have_v cry_v peace_n than_o a_o sudden_a

history_n be_v plain_a and_o therefore_o i_o go_v forward_o i_o come_v to_o the_o part_n of_o the_o angel_n the_o first_o speech_n be_v somewhat_o rough_a why_o do_v you_o seek_v the_o live_n among_o the_o dead_a why_o do_v you_o this_o then_o he_o come_v on_o and_o say_v he_o be_v not_o here_o he_o be_v rise_v then_o he_o confirm_v it_o by_o a_o reason_n remember_v woman_n what_o he_o say_v to_o you_o when_o he_o be_v with_o you_o in_o galilee_n say_v he_o not_o that_o he_o behoove_v to_o be_v deliver_v into_o the_o hand_n of_o sinful_a man_n and_o be_v crucify_v and_o to_o rise_v again_o the_o three_o day_n this_o be_v the_o meaning_n in_o effect_n then_o where_o he_o begin_v with_o a_o reproof_n there_o must_v be_v a_o fault_n in_o they_o no_o the_o lord_n will_v not_o reproove_v thou_o for_o nothing_o i_o take_v their_o fault_n to_o be_v oblivion_n for_o so_o the_o word_n of_o the_o angel_n import_n they_o have_v forget_v that_o he_o shall_v rise_v the_o third_o day_n suppose_v he_o have_v tell_v they_o well_o brethren_n i_o see_v this_o it_o be_v the_o will_n of_o god_n that_o we_o never_o forget_v his_o word_n &_o more_o i_o see_v if_o thou_o let_v it_o slip_v out_o of_o thy_o mind_n as_o we_o do_v too_o ready_o the_o lord_n will_v reprove_v thou_o but_o in_o his_o reprove_v &_o in_o his_o anger_n he_o never_o forget_v mercy_n &_o lenity_n in_o reprove_v of_o the_o woman_n he_o make_v the_o angel_n to_o instruct_v and_o tell_v they_o that_o he_o be_v rise_v so_o in_o reprove_v of_o thou_o he_o will_v teach_v thou_o and_o it_o learn_v we_o this_o lesson_n always_o in_o all_o reproof_n teach_v they_o who_o thou_o reprove_v if_o thou_o reproove_v they_o without_o a_o care_n to_o instruct_v they_o thy_o reproof_n avail_v nothing_o at_o all_o then_o look_v so_o soon_o as_o his_o anger_n go_v away_o and_o when_o he_o have_v speak_v two_o word_n thereafter_o he_o say_v he_o be_v not_o here_o he_o be_v rise_v remember_v he_o say_v to_o you_o he_o behoove_v to_o suffer_v and_o die_v and_o rise_v the_o three_o day_n so_o we_o learn_v this_o at_o the_o angel_n it_o may_v be_v that_o god_n speak_v a_o word_n of_o anger_n but_o it_o will_v soon_o go_v away_o and_o the_o mercy_n remain_v for_o ever_o and_o when_o he_o have_v lay_v his_o anger_n aside_o he_o teach_v in_o mercy_n and_o i_o speak_v this_o to_o the_o child_n of_o god_n many_o fault_n in_o we_o all_o and_o now_o and_o then_o he_o speak_v in_o anger_n that_o his_o own_o perish_v not_o with_o the_o wicked_a world_n he_o will_v waken_v they_o with_o some_o angry_a word_n and_o think_v as_o thou_o will_v and_o if_o thou_o be_v not_o waken_v with_o some_o angry_a word_n thou_o shall_v die_v in_o thy_o stink_n and_o canker_n of_o thy_o corrupt_a nature_n and_o so_o long_o as_o we_o be_v here_o there_o be_v ever_o some_o matter_n of_o anger_n so_o that_o now_o and_o then_o he_o will_v speak_v to_o thou_o in_o anger_n for_o we_o be_v as_o foolish_a child_n think_v and_o speak_v as_o child_n and_o therefore_o have_v need_n to_o be_v chastise_v but_o when_o we_o be_v perfect_a man_n never_o a_o angry_a word_n nor_o a_o gloom_n shall_v be_v but_o always_o mercy_n and_o pleasure_n for_o ever_o then_o i_o mark_v another_o thing_n in_o the_o angel_n remember_v say_v he_o that_o the_o son_n of_o man_n must_v be_v deliver_v into_o the_o hand_n of_o sinful_a

suppose_v the_o woman_n have_v forget_v it_o no_o the_o lord_n that_o speak_v it_o think_v never_o so_o light_a of_o it_o as_o thou_o do_v thou_o will_v forget_v soon_o and_o thou_o take_v no_o

such_o a_o joy_n that_o it_o will_v feed_v upon_o it_o you_o read_v in_o the_o eight_o chapter_n of_o the_o act_n of_o the_o apostle_n how_o the_o eunuch_n who_o come_v from_o the_o queen_n of_o

to_o they_o in_o the_o break_n of_o bread_n luke_n 24.29.30_o john_n tell_v the_o cause_n why_o they_o assemble_v in_o the_o night_n rather_o than_o in_o the_o day_n for_o fear_v of_o the_o jew_n who_o as_o they_o be_v malicious_a against_o the_o lord_n himself_o so_o will_v they_o have_v utter_v their_o malice_n against_o his_o disciple_n and_o all_o they_o that_o love_v he_o so_o they_o make_v a_o choice_n of_o a_o time_n that_o be_v least_o dangerous_a for_o brethren_n it_o be_v the_o lord_n will_v that_o his_o child_n make_v a_o choice_n of_o the_o time_n that_o be_v most_o

at_o any_o time_n when_o they_o be_v meet_v together_o whether_o it_o be_v day_n or_o night_n it_o be_v not_o these_o outward_a thing_n that_o christ_n chief_o respect_v neither_o the_o time_n nor_o

wherein_o they_o do_v meet_v only_a john_n mark_n that_o the_o door_n be_v shut_v and_o therefore_o that_o they_o keep_v themselves_o close_o and_o quiet_a and_o in_o this_o their_o meeting_n &_o

be_v on_o we_o and_o on_o our_o child_n the_o second_o thing_n that_o matthew_n rehearse_n be_v after_o that_o he_o have_v exoner_v himself_o as_o he_o think_v a_o vain_a thought_n he_o be_v never_o

the_o jew_n he_o let_v loose_a barrabas_n a_o foul_a murderer_n then_o as_o luke_n mark_n he_o give_v out_o the_o sentence_n of_o condemnation_n against_o the_o innocent_a than_o he_o take_v he_o and_o scourge_v he_o the_o second_o time_n and_o last_o he_o put_v he_o in_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o burrio_fw-la this_o be_v the_o second_o thing_n yet_o there_o be_v one_o three_o thing_n when_o they_o get_v he_o they_o lead_v he_o not_o incontinent_a out_o of_o the_o port_n to_o that_o filthy_a place_n of_o execution_n but_o to_o satisfy_v the_o maliciousness_n of_o their_o heart_n they_o

speak_v of_o these_o thing_n according_a to_o the_o rehearsal_n of_o matthew_n as_o for_o the_o first_o matthew_z say_z that_o when_o pilate_n see_v that_o he_o can_v prevail_v nothing_o at_o their_o

on_o the_o part_n of_o the_o high_a priest_n and_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o jew_n the_o history_n be_v very_o plain_a this_o miserable_a man_n pilate_n have_v fight_v on_o a_o reasonable_a space_n yea_o a_o long_a time_n for_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n against_o the_o obstinacy_n of_o the_o jew_n at_o the_o last_o when_o he_o be_v charge_v as_o guilty_a of_o treason_n when_o he_o see_v he_o

well_o enough_o brethren_n this_o be_v the_o lesson_n man_n common_o and_o especial_o such_o as_o pilate_n be_v man_n without_o god_n natural_a man_n that_o see_v not_o another_o life_n that_o see_v
