they_o who_o be_v superior_a and_o when_o the_o superior_a fall_n back_o they_o will_v go_v forward_o and_o this_o let_v we_o see_v that_o it_o be_v the_o lord_n who_o make_v the_o difference_n have_v

follow_v the_o next_o what_o see_v they_o they_o see_v in_o the_o shape_n of_o a_o young_a man_n a_o angel_n clad_v with_o a_o long_a robe_n from_o top_n to_o toe_n i_o take_v this_o angel_n to_o be_v

cause_n why_o he_o go_v in_o the_o grave_n be_v to_o testify_v the_o resurrection_n he_o choose_v the_o commodity_n of_o the_o place_n that_o when_o he_o shall_v get_v the_o woman_n in_o the_o grave_n that_o the_o lord_n be_v rise_v in_o the_o grave_n he_o may_v instruct_v they_o better_o by_o the_o emptiness_n and_o roomenesse_n of_o the_o grave_n that_o the_o lord_n be_v rise_v from_o the_o

he_o be_v a_o minister_n of_o mercy_n to_o the_o godly_a woman_n i_o say_v more_o at_o that_o same_o time_n whilst_o as_o he_o chase_v away_o the_o wicked_a in_o do_v of_o that_o he_o show_v mercy_n to_o the_o godly_a and_o he_o terrify_v the_o wicked_a that_o they_o shall_v not_o be_v a_o stop_n or_o terror_n to_o the_o godly_a all_o the_o terror_n and_o judgement_n of_o the_o wicked_a as_o they_o serve_v to_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n so_o they_o serve_v for_o the_o well_o of_o his_o own_o for_o the_o lord_n have_v not_o only_o his_o own_o glory_n before_o his_o eye_n but_o also_o of_o the_o â—ell_o of_o his_o own_o then_o consider_v again_o the_o circumstance_n of_o the_o place_n wherein_o the_o angel_n teach_v these_o woman_n the_o resurrection_n of_o jesus_n christ_n the_o father_n of_o heaven_n be_v very_o careful_a of_o every_o circumstance_n that_o serve_v for_o the_o testimony_n of_o christ_n resurrection_n first_o he_o be_v careful_a of_o the_o
they_o see_v the_o stone_n away_o froâ—_n the_o sepulchre_n as_o the_o first_o do_v and_o they_o enter_v into_o the_o grave_n as_o the_o first_o â—id_v but_o they_o find_v not_o the_o body_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n and_o they_o be_v very_o sad_a and_o heavy_a suppose_v it_o have_v be_v steal_v away_o they_o see_v two_o angel_n who_o they_o suppose_v to_o be_v two_o man_n fearful_a to_o

only_o who_o appear_v to_o the_o first_o company_n now_o this_o company_n see_v two_o angel_n and_o all_o this_o be_v for_o the_o great_a certainty_n of_o the_o matter_n and_o resurrection_n of_o

that_o be_v in_o these_o woman_n be_v worthy_a of_o praise_n so_o the_o apostle_n carelessness_n of_o their_o lord_n can_v be_v praise_v for_o it_o become_v they_o to_o have_v come_v out_o first_o &_o as_o the_o couragiousnesse_n of_o these_o woman_n be_v to_o be_v commend_v so_o the_o apostle_n cowardness_n merit_v no_o commendation_n and_o the_o more_o woman_n testify_v of_o his_o resurrection_n

no_o doubt_n the_o force_n of_o his_o resurrection_n be_v more_o powerful_a in_o the_o poor_a woman_n than_o it_o be_v in_o the_o very_a apostle_n for_o all_o this_o spiritual_a courage_n flow_v from_o the_o life_n of_o christ_n for_o except_o he_o have_v rise_v from_o the_o death_n and_o that_o we_o get_v life_n through_o his_o life_n we_o will_v never_o have_v life_n yea_o all_o the_o

in_o the_o first_o epistle_n to_o the_o thessalonian_o the_o five_o chapter_n and_o the_o third_o verse_n but_o behold_v the_o end_n when_o they_o have_v cry_v peace_n than_o a_o sudden_a

the_o dead_a why_o do_v you_o this_o then_o he_o come_v on_o and_o say_v he_o be_v not_o here_o he_o be_v rise_v then_o he_o confirm_v it_o by_o a_o reason_n remember_v woman_n what_o he_o say_v to_o

in_o call_v they_o and_o place_v they_o in_o that_o high_a call_n who_o before_o be_v so_o miserable_a wretch_n and_o so_o upon_o their_o own_o experience_n they_o may_v the_o more_o easy_o persuade_v even_o the_o most_o miserable_a sinner_n to_o seek_v for_o mercy_n and_o grace_n in_o christ_n when_o paul_n preach_v where_o sin_n abound_v there_o grace_n and_o mercy_n superabounde_v if_o he_o have_v not_o find_v this_o by_o experience_n and_o have_v not_o stand_v for_o example_n hereof_o he_o will_v not_o so_o easy_o have_v persuade_v sinner_n of_o the_o exceed_a greatness_n of_o the_o
