before_o his_o eye_n and_o in_o his_o bosom_n a_o ancient_a tradition_n do_v observe_v that_o after_o our_o lord_n ascension_n the_o apostle_n do_v never_o eat_v together_o but_o they_o leave_v the_o

presence_n it_o be_v a_o happy_a necessity_n to_o make_v we_o do_v well_o to_o believe_v and_o apprehend_v that_o our_o judge_n be_v always_o present_a i_o frespect_n make_v he_o formidable_a love_n will_v teach_v we_o that_o he_o be_v the_o father_n of_o all_o sweetness_n there_o can_v be_v no_o great_a comfort_n in_o this_o world_n then_o to_o be_v present_a in_o heart_n and_o body_n with_o that_o which_o we_o love_v best_a 2._o jesus_n be_v take_v by_o his_o apostle_n for_o a_o spirit_n because_o after_o the_o resurrection_n he_o pierce_v the_o wall_n and_o appear_v sudden_o as_o

the_o passion_n of_o a_o mortal_a body_n as_o saint_n epiphanius_n do_v expound_v it_o we_o must_v make_v little_a use_n of_o our_o body_n to_o converse_v with_o our_o jesus_n who_o have_v take_v upon_o he_o the_o rare_a quality_n of_o a_o spirit_n we_o must_v raise_v ourselves_o above_o our_o sense_n when_o we_o go_v to_o the_o father_n of_o light_n and_o the_o creaton●_n of_o sense_n he_o teach_v we_o the_o life_n of_o spirit_n and_o commerce_n of_o angel_n and_o make_v assay_n of_o our_o immortality_n by_o a_o body_n now_o immortal_a why_o be_v we_o so_o tie_v to_o our_o sense_n and_o glue_v to_o the_o earth_n must_v we_o suffer_v ourselves_o to_o enter_v into_o a_o kingdom_n of_o death_n when_o we_o be_v tell_v of_o the_o resurrection_n of_o he_o who_o be_v the_o author_n of_o

conversation_n suffer_v his_o foot_n and_o hand_n to_o be_v touch_v to_o prove_v in_o he_o the_o reality_n of_o a_o true_a body_n he_o eat_v in_o presence_n of_o his_o apostle_n though_o he_o be_v not_o in_o more_o estate_n to_o digest_v meat_n than_o the_o sun_n be_v to_o digest_v vapour_n he_o do_v no_o more_o nourish_v himself_o with_o our_o corruptible_a meat_n than_o the_o star_n do_v by_o the_o vapour_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o yet_o he_o take_v they_o to_o confirm_v our_o belief_n and_o to_o make_v we_o familiar_a with_o he_o it_o be_v the_o act_n of_o great_a and_o generous_a

the_o height_n of_o his_o great_a glory_n but_o still_o retain_v the_o mildness_n of_o a_o shepherd_n so_o jesus_n the_o true_a son_n of_o david_n by_o his_o condscend_v to_o we_o have_v consecrate_v
