in_o regard_n of_o the_o son_n be_v incarnate_a and_o take_v our_o nature_n upon_o he_o for_o this_o indeed_o bring_v in_o many_o point_n to_o be_v believe_v whereof_o consider_v only_o as_o the_o

will_v never_o be_v acceptable_a to_o the_o father_n himself_o notwithstanding_o our_o belief_n in_o he_o and_o this_o perhaps_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o the_o offer_n of_o cain_n be_v not_o accept_v because_o though_o a_o sacrifice_n yet_o it_o want_v a_o devotion_n sanctify_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n there_o be_v a_o sin_n which_o be_v proper_o call_v the_o sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o for_o they_o that_o commit_v this_o sin_n we_o be_v forbid_v to_o pray_v a_o grievous_a sin_n no_o doubt_n which_o stop_v the_o current_n of_o charity_n who_o nature_n be_v wont_a to_o

or_o rather_o where_o a_o true_a believe_a in_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v this_o sin_n proper_o can_v never_o be_v commit_v and_o therefore_o in_o make_v profession_n of_o our_o faith_n there_o be_v none_o of_o all_o the_o article_n in_o the_o whole_a creed_n that_o seem_v more_o necessary_a to_o be_v say_v then_o this_o for_o by_o say_v this_o article_n we_o make_v it_o appear_v there_o can_v be_v no_o danger_n in_o pray_v for_o we_o as_o not_o be_v likely_a to_o commit_v the_o sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n who_o believe_v in_o the_o holy_a ghost_n but_o why_o be_v it_o that_o sin_n commit_v against_o the_o father_n or_o the_o son_n shall_v be_v forgive_v but_o a_o sin_n commit_v against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n shall_v never_o be_v forgive_v neither_o in_o this_o world_n nor_o in_o the_o world_n to_o come_v be_v it_o not_o that_o if_o a_o sin_n be_v commit_v against_o the_o father_n or_o the_o son_n the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v the_o sanctifier_n can_v sanctify_v that_o sin_n and_o make_v it_o pardonable_a but_o if_o a_o sin_n be_v commit_v against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n there_o be_v none_o to_o sanctify_v it_o and_o not_o be_v sanctify_v it_o just_o exceed_v all_o bound_n of_o remission_n o_o therefore_o thou_o bless_a god_n the_o holy_a ghost_n vouchsafe_v to_o endue_v i_o with_o a_o spirit_n of_o sanctification_n that_o what_o other_o sin_n soever_o i_o may_v happy_o unhappy_o commit_v yet_o i_o may_v never_o be_v so_o unhappy_a to_o commit_v this_o dreadful_a sin_n of_o sin_v against_o thou_o when_o we_o read_v the_o order_n of_o the_o person_n in_o the_o

who_o be_v all_o go-eternall_a or_o any_o disparity_n between_o they_o in_o dignity_n who_o be_v all_o consubstantial_a but_o that_o it_o be_v a_o express_v of_o order_n only_o to_o our_o capacity_n

which_o mystery_n though_o it_o exceed_v our_o capacity_n yet_o not_o our_o belief_n or_o therefore_o the_o fit_a for_o belief_n because_o it_o exceed_v our_o capacity_n and_o now_o have_v profess_v our_o belief_n in_o god_n the_o father_n god_n the_o son_n and_o god_n the_o holy_a ghost_n we_o may_v just_o conclude_v and_o say_v o_o holy_a bless_a and_o glorious_a trinity_n three_o person_n and_o one_o god_n have_v mercy_n upon_o we_o miserable_a sinner_n and_o thus_o be_v finish_v the_o first_o part_n of_o our_o creed_n in_o who_o it_o be_v we_o believe_v the_o other_o part_n remain_v contain_v what_o it_o be_v we_o believe_v for_o to_o know_v in_o who_o to_o believe_v and_o not_o know_v what_o to_o believe_v be_v to_o stand_v at_o a_o gaze_n and_o be_v to_o seek_v when_o we_o

we_o can_v true_o believe_v these_o if_o we_o do_v not_o believe_v in_o the_o holy_a ghost_n we_o can_v not_o believe_v the_o holy_a catholic_a church_n nor_o the_o communion_n of_o saint_n for_o these_o be_v benefit_n that_o come_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o if_o we_o do_v not_o believe_v in_o the_o son_n of_o god_n christ_n jesus_n we_o can_v not_o believe_v the_o forgiveness_n of_o

and_o the_o first_o article_n of_o this_o kind_n be_v this_o church_n i_o believe_v the_o holy_a catholic_a church_n i_o believe_v the_o holy_a catholic_a church_n i_o believe_v it_o in_o deed_n but_o

perhaps_o that_o his_o fast_n and_o watch_v and_o scourge_v the_o night_n before_o have_v so_o exceed_o weaken_v he_o that_o he_o that_o can_v bear_v the_o burden_n of_o our_o sin_n yet_o can_v not_o

crucify_a o_o my_o soul_n that_o thou_o can_v be_v always_o meditate_v upon_o this_o crucify_a of_o christ_n not_o that_o it_o can_v be_v any_o pleasure_n to_o think_v of_o his_o be_v crucify_a but_o the_o better_a to_o make_v thou_o apprehend_v first_o the_o great_a cause_n of_o it_o thy_o own_o sin_n and_o his_o love_n and_o then_o the_o great_a effect_n of_o it_o thy_o everlasting_a

next_o belief_n be_v that_o he_o be_v dead_a and_o yet_o how_o can_v we_o believe_v that_o he_o can_v die_v for_o be_v not_o death_n the_o wage_n of_o sin_n and_o can_v he_o receive_v the_o wage_n that_o have_v not_o do_v the_o service_n have_v commit_v no_o sin_n but_o be_v it_o not_o that_o he_o die_v not_o for_o any_o sin_n he_o commit_v himself_o but_o for_o the_o sin_n of_o other_o which_o he_o take_v upon_o he_o even_o as_o a_o surety_n pay_v the_o penalty_n of_o a_o debt_n that_o be_v none_o of_o his_o own_o and_o this_o reason_n the_o prophet_n daniel_n give_v where_o he_o say_v

that_o as_o our_o body_n shall_v rise_v though_o in_o their_o old_a substance_n yet_o endue_v with_o new_a quality_n so_o heaven_n and_o earth_n where_o they_o be_v to_o abide_v shall_v suffer_v the_o

in_o part_n and_o therefore_o we_o believe_v the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o body_n first_o and_o then_o the_o life_n everlasting_a after_o because_o although_o the_o soul_n in_o its_o kind_n be_v

more_o comfortable_a to_o a_o faint_a spirit_n then_o this_o article_n be_v to_o we_o the_o article_n before_o put_v we_o almost_o clean_o out_o of_o heart_n for_o if_o his_o be_v dead_a and_o bury_v touch_v we_o so_o very_o near_o how_o can_v his_o descend_v into_o hell_n but_o touch_v we_o to_o the_o very_a quick_a but_o now_o this_o article_n of_o his_o rise_n from_o the_o dead_a put_v new_a

of_o his_o love_n that_o as_o he_o do_v it_o for_o our_o sake_n so_o for_o our_o comfort_n he_o will_v come_v again_o to_o let_v we_o know_v it_o and_o indeed_o though_o christ_n do_v well_o enough_o

to_o he_o that_o can_v vanquish_v it_o and_o descend_v be_v no_o disgrace_n to_o he_o that_o can_v rise_v again_o and_o indeed_o there_o be_v nothing_o that_o more_o please_v we_o then_o rise_v for_o as_o long_o as_o we_o be_v rise_v we_o can_v never_o do_v amiss_o as_o the_o word_n never_o give_v offence_n so_o the_o action_n never_o take_v hurt_v and_o special_o if_o we_o rise_v as_o christ_n do_v from_o the_o dead_a for_o how_o much_o the_o place_n from_o which_o we_o rise_v be_v more_o hateful_a so_o much_o the_o rise_n itself_o be_v more_o grateful_a and_o see_v nothing_o be_v more_o

yet_o he_o rise_v soon_o from_o the_o dead_a then_o perhaps_o they_o expect_v and_o perhaps_o they_o expect_v not_o he_o shall_v rise_v at_o all_o for_o if_o mary_n magdalene_n have_v believe_v that_o

the_o sun_n be_v not_o rise_v yet_o it_o be_v upon_o rise_v and_o that_o be_v enough_o to_o denominate_v it_o day_n and_o beside_o before_o the_o sun_n rise_v there_o be_v always_o a_o diluculum_fw-la a_o daybreak_a and_o that_o certain_o enough_o to_o make_v it_o be_v call_v day_n but_o it_o seem_v it_o be_v mean_v in_o the_o gospel_n to_o express_v not_o only_o that_o it_o be_v the_o three_o

the_o sun_n rise_v be_v the_o time_n of_o the_o day_n in_o which_o he_o rise_v but_o why_o then_o will_v mary_n magdalene_n come_v no_o soon_o with_o her_o spice_n see_v by_o this_o account_n the_o

have_v do_v the_o work_n she_o go_v about_o and_o to_o have_v go_v by_o candlelight_n will_v have_v breed_v suspicion_n the_o watchman_n than_o may_v just_o have_v say_v his_o disciple_n come_v by_o

be_v rise_v from_o the_o sepulchre_n and_o perhaps_o it_o be_v but_o the_o distance_n of_o place_n that_o make_v the_o difference_n of_o time_n between_o her_o come_n and_o his_o rise_n and_o it_o be_v well_o there_o be_v that_o difference_n of_o time_n for_o if_o she_o have_v come_v soon_o she_o have_v find_v christ_n lie_v dead_a in_o his_o grave_n still_o and_o to_o have_v embalm_v he_o

therefore_o to_o prevent_v this_o scandal_n christ_n be_v up_o before_o mary_n magdalen_n come_v and_o as_o soon_o as_o the_o three_o day_n afford_v but_o any_o dawn_n of_o light_n for_o where_o
