the_o lord_n of_o glory_n send_v a_o angel_n to_o tell_v the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o lord_n to_o these_o woman_n so_o in_o very_a deed_n the_o angel_n be_v a_o witness_n before_o the_o woman_n but_o the_o woman_n before_o the_o man_n always_o the_o angel_n that_o come_v from_o heaven_n he_o be_v a_o honourable_a ambassador_n the_o bless_a angel_n be_v very_o glorious_a &_o no_o question_n the_o lord_n will_v have_v his_o resurrection_n first_o witness_v by_o so_o glorious_a a_o ambassador_n he_o will_v not_o have_v man_n to_o testify_v first_o of_o it_o but_o he_o will_v have_v a_o

than_o they_o can_v give_v to_o it_o well_o if_o the_o preach_n of_o y_fw-fr e_o gospel_n the_o testify_a of_o jesus_n &_o his_o resurrection_n honour_v the_o angel_n shall_v we_o
think_v that_o any_o man_n in_o earth_n be_v too_o good_a to_o preach_v the_o gospel_n of_o christ_n no_o if_o thou_o were_v a_o king_n it_o be_v a_o great_a honour_n to_o thou_o that_o thou_o shall_v have_v grace_n to_o speak_v of_o his_o bless_a name_n well_o brethren_n as_o the_o ambassador_n be_v glorious_a &_o the_o message_n be_v glorious_a so_o y_o â—_o commission_n be_v the_o joyful_a

glorious_a so_o the_o lord_n of_o heaven_n honour_v his_o ambassador_n w_o t_o a_o terrible_a earthquake_n the_o ambassador_n of_o a_o king_n have_v honour_n and_o why_o shall_v not_o the_o ambassador_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n have_v honour_n above_o all_o the_o king_n of_o the_o world_n no_o doubt_v the_o lord_n in_o this_o earthquake_n have_v a_o further_a respect_n for_o hereby_o he_o testify_v that_o his_o glorious_a presence_n accompany_v the_o angel_n and_o that_o to_o the_o weal_n and_o comfort_n of_o the_o silly_a woman_n for_o as_o all_o the_o rest_n be_v to_o prepare_v

have_v come_v otherwise_o he_o may_v have_v come_v fair_a and_o soft_o and_o in_o more_o quiet_a manner_n i_o answer_v to_o this_o the_o lord_n look_v not_o so_o much_o to_o the_o angel_n or_o the_o

by_o the_o power_n of_o god_n now_o to_o go_v forward_o when_o this_o angel_n come_v down_o first_o we_o have_v what_o he_o do_v then_o we_o have_v a_o fair_a description_n of_o this_o angel_n the_o first_o thing_n he_o do_v be_v he_o go_v to_o the_o grave_n and_o roll_v away_o the_o stone_n from_o the_o door_n you_o will_v think_v this_o be_v but_o a_o sober_a and_o servile_a office_n to_o so_o

mark_v and_o compare_v the_o burial_n with_o his_o glorious_a resurrection_n in_o his_o burial_n he_o keep_v the_o godhead_n close_o for_o if_o either_o in_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n or_o in_o his_o burial_n that_o godhead_n shall_v have_v utter_v itself_o he_o can_v neither_o have_v die_v nor_o yet_o have_v be_v bury_v for_o the_o godhead_n can_v neither_o die_v nor_o be_v bury_v but_o in_o the_o resurrection_n the_o godhead_n that_o dwell_v in_o he_o bodily_a break_v out_o and_o raise_v the_o stone_n upon_o this_o difference_n there_o follow_v another_o in_o his_o burial_n the_o

roll_v the_o stone_n to_o the_o door_n of_o the_o grave_n but_o when_o it_o come_v to_o his_o glorious_a resurrection_n in_o the_o which_o that_o godhead_n that_o before_o keep_v itself_o close_o break_v out_o he_o use_v not_o the_o ministry_n of_o man_n but_o of_o a_o glorious_a angel_n a_o angel_n roll_n away_o the_o stone_n as_o it_o be_v with_o his_o own_o hand_n now_o this_o let_v we_o see_v how_o high_o and_o honourable_o we_o shall_v think_v of_o this_o glorious_a resurrection_n it_o be_v true_a the_o lord_n in_o his_o burial_n be_v honourable_a but_o he_o be_v far_o more_o honourable_a in_o his_o resurrection_n for_o the_o honour_n that_o he_o have_v in_o his_o burial_n be_v but_o a_o worldly_a honour_n but_o in_o his_o resurrection_n he_o have_v a_o heavenly_a honour_n 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 be_v a_o king_n or_o caesar_n himself_o and_o so_o the_o lord_n in_o his_o burial_n utter_v himself_o to_o be_v a_o lord_n over_o man_n but_o in_o his_o glorious_a resurrection_n he_o utter_v himself_o even_o in_o our_o nature_n not_o only_o to_o be_v lord_n of_o man_n but_o also_o of_o angel_n so_o brethren_n all_o tend_v to_o this_o to_o let_v we_o see_v the_o glory_n of_o the_o

here_o we_o shall_v never_o see_v glory_n hereafter_o but_o before_o i_o leave_v this_o i_o see_v that_o in_o the_o roll_a away_o of_o the_o stone_n the_o lord_n have_v a_o respect_n to_o the_o

the_o lord_n will_v help_v they_o that_o seek_v he_o seek_v the_o lord_n where_o ever_o he_o be_v seek_v the_o lord_n in_o the_o grave_n seek_v the_o lord_n in_o the_o heaven_n and_o thou_o shall_v

thou_o shall_v find_v in_o experience_n that_o the_o lord_n shall_v send_v his_o angel_n before_o thou_o and_o prepare_v thing_n before_o thy_o come_n and_o i_o doubt_v not_o but_o some_o of_o you_o

to_o testify_v that_o christ_n be_v rise_v in_o glory_n the_o first_o witness_n of_o his_o death_n and_o burial_n be_v man_n and_o woman_n but_o the_o first_o witness_n of_o his_o glorious_a
