if_o it_o be_v true_a y_fw-fr t_o two_o body_n may_v be_v in_o one_o place_n at_o one_o time_n than_o it_o will_v follow_v that_o one_o body_n at_o one_o time_n may_v be_v in_o many_o place_n but_o

like_o a_o drunken_a man_n and_o if_o thou_o be_v once_o give_v over_o to_o thy_o own_o self_n it_o be_v as_o sure_a a_o thing_n as_o be_v in_o the_o world_n that_o except_o the_o lord_n let_v thou_o

the_o power_n shall_v work_v a_o further_a induration_n in_o thou_o and_o make_v thou_o worse_o to_o go_v forward_o you_o see_v how_o careful_a he_o be_v of_o his_o disciple_n man_n will_v think_v that_o he_o be_v so_o hard_o strait_v &_o so_o near_o the_o death_n shall_v have_v forget_v his_o disciple_n for_o this_o be_v our_o fashion_n but_o the_o lord_n do_v not_o so_o and_o brethren_n this_o be_v a_o true_a note_n and_o token_n of_o a_o true_a shepherd_n he_o will_v forget_v himself_o and_o his_o life_n and_o he_o will_v remember_v his_o flock_n and_o when_o he_o be_v ady_v he_o will_v be_v careful_a of_o his_o flock_n and_o when_o the_o wolf_n be_v worry_v he_o yet_o he_o will_v do_v what_o lie_v in_o he_o that_o his_o flock_n and_o every_o sheep_n thereof_o may_v escape_v and_o he_o will_v give_v his_o life_n for_o the_o safety_n of_o his_o flock_n this_o be_v a_o good_a pastor_n so_o we_o see_v the_o vive_a image_n of_o a_o faithful_a pastor_n in_o the_o lord_n jesus_n he_o will_v give_v his_o life_n for_o his_o sheep_n as_o he_o say_v himself_o he_o be_v but_o a_o hyreling_n that_o will_v not_o for_o the_o love_n of_o his_o sheep_n lie_v down_o his_o life_n and_o this_o be_v the_o thing_n that_o i_o note_v chief_o here_o when_o the_o lord_n become_v weak_a in_o himself_o through_o infirmity_n yea_o voluntary_a infirmity_n he_o need_v not_o to_o be_v

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 saint_n also_o arole_n by_o virtue_n of_o his_o resurrection_n and_o go_v into_o the_o city_n the_o grave_n will_v tell_v the_o miserable_a people_n that_o the_o lord_n jesus_n have_v loose_v

that_o great_a day_n shall_v rise_v up_o by_o the_o virtue_n of_o that_o resurrection_n of_o jesus_n christ_n this_o question_n may_v be_v ask_v what_o become_v of_o those_o body_n which_o arise_v &_o go_v into_o the_o city_n do_v they_o lie_v they_o down_o again_o in_o the_o grave_n or_o ascend_v they_o to_o heaven_n i_o will_v not_o be_v curious_a in_o this_o purpose_n but_o in_o my_o judgement_n they_o be_v take_v up_o to_o the_o heaven_n with_o jesus_n christ_n to_o be_v a_o argument_n of_o our_o resurrection_n &_o go_v to_o the_o heaven_n this_o be_v a_o fair_a lesson_n but_o this_o

the_o voice_n of_o the_o lord_n open_v not_o their_o heart_n then_o he_o open_v the_o grave_n it_o be_v a_o easy_a thing_n to_o raise_v a_o dead_a body_n out_o of_o the_o grave_n than_o to_o raise_v

and_o he_o make_v it_o more_o clear_a to_o the_o passenger_n as_o he_o think_v and_o first_o he_o let_v he_o see_v what_o a_o man_n jesus_n be_v there_o be_v never_o such_o a_o man_n he_o be_v a_o

of_o sin_n for_o if_o he_o have_v not_o suffer_v he_o can_v not_o have_v be_v the_o redeemer_n and_o have_v redeem_v we_o but_o cleopas_n and_o the_o other_o know_v not_o what_o the_o redeemer_n shall_v have_v suffer_v they_o know_v not_o what_o the_o redeemer_n mean_v and_o therefore_o be_v deceive_v with_o the_o false_a opinion_n that_o the_o people_n have_v concern_v the_o messiah_n that_o

to_o gather_v this_o that_o he_o can_v not_o be_v the_o redeemer_n see_v that_o he_o be_v crucify_v and_o indeed_o if_o this_o ground_n that_o they_o lay_v have_v be_v true_a he_o can_v not_o have_v deliver_v they_o be_v crucify_v i_o speak_v of_o this_o the_o last_o day_n if_o thou_o follow_v the_o multitude_n and_o
believe_v as_o the_o papist_n bid_v thou_o as_o the_o multitude_n believe_v and_o close_v thy_o eye_n thou_o shall_v perish_v with_o the_o multitude_n they_o will_v say_v what_o ado_n have_v thou_o with_o the_o bible_n thou_o have_v no_o more_o ado_n but_o believe_v as_o the_o church_n believe_v but_o i_o say_v unto_o thou_o it_o shall_v happen_v unto_o thou_o as_o it_o happen_v unto_o cleopas_n that_o thing_n that_o shall_v be_v the_o matter_n of_o hope_n it_o shall_v cut_v thou_o from_o hope_n as_o it_o do_v this_o poor_a man_n cleopas_n yea_o i_o say_v further_o if_o thou_o believe_v

shall_v light_v upon_o they_o except_o they_o repent_v now_o to_o come_v to_o the_o second_o part_n of_o the_o narration_n that_o he_o make_v you_o have_v hear_v his_o conclusion_n but_o now_o say_v cleopas_n this_o be_v the_o three_o day_n since_o he_o be_v crucify_v and_o dead_a yet_o we_o hear_v nothing_o as_o he_o will_v say_v once_o dead_a and_o ay_o dead_a mark_v what_o he_o will_v gather_v of_o this_o it_o be_v the_o third_o day_n since_o he_o die_v and_o we_o have_v not_o see_v he_o alas_o i_o fear_v we_o shall_v never_o see_v he_o again_o alas_o he_o will_v never_o redeem_v israel_n he_o dare_v not_o speak_v this_o right_a out_o but_o he_o keep_v it_o in_o his_o mind_n be_v this_o a_o good_a conclusion_n it_o be_v the_o third_o day_n since_o he_o die_v therefore_o he_o can_v redeem_v israel_n he_o shall_v have_v conclude_v it_o be_v the_o third_o day_n since_o he_o die_v therefore_o he_o be_v rise_v in_o glory_n to_o be_v the_o redeemer_n of_o jsrael_n but_o the_o ignorant_a man_n know_v not_o the_o scripture_n of_o god_n as_o christ_n say_v to_o he_o hereafter_o for_o christ_n have_v foretell_v that_o he_o will_v rise_v the_o third_o day_n and_o yet_o he_o have_v forget_v it_o and_o so_o he_o conclude_v i_o shall_v never_o see_v he_o and_o he_o can_v be_v the_o redeemer_n then_o you_o see_v what_o it_o be_v to_o be_v ignorant_a of_o the_o scripture_n of_o god_n and_o to_o forget_v they_o there_o be_v nothing_o concern_v christ_n but_o it_o be_v full_o set_v down_o in_o the_o old_a and_o new_a testament_n so_o that_o if_o a_o angel_n will_v come_v down_o from_o heaven_n he_o can_v tell_v no_o more_o in_o substance_n yet_o if_o thou_o will_v not_o look_v to_o they_o but_o close_o thy_o eye_n that_o thou_o see_v not_o and_o stop_v thy_o ear_n that_o thou_o hear_v not_o and_o so_o forget_v they_o again_o before_o thou_o be_v well_o out_o of_o the_o church_fw-mi it_o be_v a_o wonder_n that_o thou_o shall_v get_v any_o matter_n of_o hope_n no_o thou_o shall_v find_v nothing_o but_o matter_n of_o desperation_n whosoever_o therefore_o will_v have_v matter_n of_o joy_n in_o the_o heart_n and_o have_v joy_n in_o their_o distress_n let_v

third_o part_n of_o this_o narration_n of_o cleopas_n concern_v christ_n before_o he_o come_v to_o it_o he_o make_v a_o rehearsal_n of_o these_o same_o thing_n which_o have_v happen_v that_o same_o

then_o some_o of_o we_o who_o be_v man_n namely_o peter_n and_o john_n who_o go_v out_o and_o they_o find_v this_o that_o the_o lord_n be_v out_o of_o the_o grave_n but_o mark_v his_o last_o word_n but_o none_o of_o they_o see_v the_o lord_n alas_o these_o two_o disciple_n apparent_o have_v come_v out_o of_o jerusalem_n ere_o marie_n magdalene_n and_o some_o other_o woman_n who_o go_v out_o that_o same_o day_n have_v return_v &_o show_v that_o they_o have_v see_v the_o lord_n they_o go_v away_o over_o soon_o to_o emmaus_n but_o look_v what_o he_o conclude_v they_o see_v he_o not_o therefore_o he_o be_v not_o rise_v this_o be_v it_o that_o they_o will_v conclude_v because_o they_o can_v not_o see_v he_o with_o their_o bodily_a eye_n therefore_o they_o look_v never_o to_o see_v

for_o faith_n be_v the_o demonstration_n of_o thing_n which_o be_v not_o see_v as_o the_o apostle_n speak_v hebr._n 11.1_o this_o be_v a_o false_a conclusion_n we_o can_v see_v he_o with_o our_o

then_o we_o see_v this_o in_o cleopas_n and_o his_o fellow_n suppose_v they_o be_v with_o christ_n and_o shall_v have_v have_v a_o eye_n to_o have_v see_v yet_o they_o be_v mere_a carnal_a for_o

not_o this_o with_o their_o mouth_n yet_o they_o think_v it_o in_o their_o heart_n and_o they_o be_v stand_v betwixt_o hope_n and_o despair_n no_o if_o thou_o be_v but_o a_o natural_a man_n thou_o
