before_o his_o death_n there_o be_v no_o clear_a passage_n out_o of_o this_o world_n unto_o heaven_n and_o this_o therefore_o be_v the_o fruit_n of_o his_o death_n he_o open_v thereby_o and_o

from_o they_o who_o be_v so_o hate_v and_o contemn_v by_o and_o in_o the_o world_n what_o then_o do_v christ_n do_v when_o he_o have_v love_v he_o he_o love_v they_o unto_o the_o end_n he_o do_v

this_o it_o be_v sufficient_a we_o know_v that_o christ_n do_v wash_v his_o disciple_n foot_n whether_o it_o be_v before_o or_o after_o the_o receive_n of_o the_o sacrament_n it_o matter_n not_o let_v we_o give_v heed_n to_o the_o history_n it_o be_v worth_a our_o take_a notice_n and_o it_o require_v a_o diligent_a auditor_n and_o a_o desirous_a spectator_n for_o 1_o that_o which_o christ_n do_v here_o be_v very_o beautiful_a and_o to_o be_v admire_v 2._o the_o word_n of_o the_o evangelist_n himself_o be_v most_o prudent_a for_o he_o do_v not_o simple_o show_v what_o be_v do_v but_o he_o set_v it_o out_o with_o word_n of_o weight_n and_o gravity_n to_o make_v the_o more_o impression_n and_o 1._o before_o he_o proceed_v to_o what_o christ_n do_v he_o first_o name_v the_o traitor_n that_o thereby_o we_o may_v either_o prize_v the_o greatness_n of_o christ_n love_n and_o humility_n who_o show_v those_o thing_n even_o to_o a_o enemy_n and_o traitor_n which_o another_o man_n will_v scarce_o disclose_v to_o a_o brother_n or_o a_o friend_n it_o be_v the_o great_a love_n that_o can_v be_v to_o love_v our_o enemy_n and_o do_v good_a to_o they_o that_o hate_v we_o 2._o or_o else_o he_o name_v the_o traitor_n that_o thereby_o we_o may_v see_v how_o that_o wretched_a man_n fall_v from_o one_o sin_n to_o another_o as_o be_v now_o the_o very_a real_a and_o proper_a slave_n of_o satan_n yea_o he_o still_o go_v on_o to_o great_a sin_n till_o at_o last_o he_o fall_v into_o the_o bottomless_a pit_n john_n have_v before_o call_v he_o a_o thief_n who_o do_v use_v to_o pick_v his_o

devilish_a thing_n therefore_o it_o be_v remarkable_o say_v that_o the_o devil_n have_v cast_v it_o into_o his_o heart_n the_o ungodly_a wretch_n present_o listen_v to_o this_o charmer_n he_o scorn_v to_o hear_v the_o admonition_n of_o christ_n as_o all_o wicked_a man_n do_v i_o be_o come_v in_o my_o father_n name_n say_v christ_n and_o you_o receive_v i_o not_o 5._o john_n 5._o if_o any_o come_v in_o his_o own_o name_n him_z you_o will_v receive_v 1._o here_o we_o see_v that_o the_o design_n and_o purpose_n of_o the_o devil_n be_v to_o destroy_v not_o only_a man_n but_o christ_n himself_o too_o if_o he_o can_v 2._o we_o see_v also_o who_o it_o be_v principal_o that_o do_v shed_v the_o blood_n of_o christ_n even_o the_o devil_n himself_o he_o can_v not_o endure_v to_o see_v he_o on_o the_o earth_n where_o his_o kingdom_n be_v he_o be_v afraid_a he_o shall_v be_v thrust_v out_o of_o his_o kingdom_n he_o first_o make_v use_v of_o the_o council_n of_o the_o pharisee_n to_o bring_v about_o this_o murder_n and_o theft_n then_o the_o malice_n of_o the_o traitor_n last_o the_o hand_n of_o sinful_a man_n but_o this_o not_o without_o god_n permission_n who_o have_v decree_v from_o

as_o god_n by_o his_o spirit_n do_v inspire_v good_a thing_n into_o the_o heart_n of_o believer_n a_o example_n of_o the_o devil_n suggestion_n we_o have_v in_o ananias_n and_o sapphira_n 5._o act_n 5._o that_o wicked_a one_o be_v accustom_v to_o it_o and_o know_v how_o to_o hinder_v as_o much_o as_o may_v be_v all_o good_a 1_o thess_n 2._o and_o to_o further_a all_o evil_a gen._n 3._o know_v therefore_o that_o all_o offence_n and_o sin_n come_v from_o the_o devil_n and_o not_o from_o god_n as_o heretic_n teach_v the_o devil_n i_o say_v inspire_v all_o sinner_n from_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o world_n to_o disobey_v god_n what_o the_o devil_n can_v do_v be_v notorious_o see_v in_o judas_n and_o the_o jew_n he_o he_o instigate_v and_o draw_v on_o to_o betray_v his_o own_o master_n they_o he_o entice_v to_o destroy_v their_o own_o messiah_n and_o king_n let_v we_o pray_v then_o that_o god_n by_o his_o grace_n will_v shut_v and_o keep_v all_o such_o diabolical_a insinuation_n out_o of_o our_o heart_n for_o that_o wicked_a one_o will_v persuade_v we_o to_o nothing_o that_o be_v good_a after_o this_o the_o evangelist_n mention_v the_o power_n and_o knowledge_n of_o christ_n 1._o 1._o first_o lest_o any_o shall_v think_v that_o christ_n be_v not_o god_n because_o judas_n can_v betray_v he_o as_o he_o be_v god_n in_o the_o beginning_n so_o he_o continue_v even_o when_o
