that hee beleeued not at all but that his faith was not yet of that force that Peters was For Peter knowing the Sea woulde not swallowe him when he threwe himselfe into it to come to Christ liuing had now no fear that the earth would shut her mouth vpon him for going in where he had beene buried And therefore boldly he went in and then went in also the other Disciple who saw it and beleeued Heere will I onely trouble you with one note more touching faith you see howe loue brought Mary early in the morning while it was yet darke to the Sepulcher made her runne to the Disciples to tell what she had seene made the Disciples to runne to make tryall of the truth and last made Iohn to outrunne Peter in the race to the Sepulcher but where al this while was faith weake in Mary by reason of her sinnes weake in Iohn by reason of his youth but strong in Peter by reason of his comfort so are there no doubte nowe a daies many that are forward and zealous in Religion that yet doo lacke that strength of faith that Peter had for though a number perhaps would runne with Mary to his Sepulcher to his Disciples to talke of him yet who will venter to go into his graue or will throw himselfe into the Sea in Loue to come to him as Peter did Now it followes they saw and beleeued and why nowe more than before is it said they sawe and beleeued because as yet they knewe not the Scriptures that hee must rise againe from the dead Lo here is a good excuse for the weakenesse of their faith but what excuse can bee laide downe for vs nay what shame is it for vs that hauing the testimonye of their truth seene by them and written by them to vs and for vs that wee will not reade the holie Scriptures or reading so little beleeue them or beleeuing so little regarde them that wee maye iustlie bee saide to bee without eyther faith or loue eyther to seeke or finde Christ or almost to heare or thinke of him eyther in his woorde his Sepulcher or his mercie but God for his mercy sake turn our harts and inspire our soules with the gratious power of his glorious holy spirit that running from the sincke of sin we may come to the sepulcher of Christ and that with Maries sorrow Iohns loue Peters faith we may rise earlie in the prime of our yeares and through the darke of sinne breake out into the day light of grace that maie bring vs to the fight of our soules comfort in the resurrection of our blessed Sauiour to whome nowe sitting at the right hand of God in all absolute power wisedome peace grace and mercie truth bountie loue life and glory with our heauenly Father and his holie spirite one Almightie and euerliuing God bee ascribed and giuen all due honor praise dominion and glorie both now and for euer Amen The Text. And the Disciples went againe to their owne home but Mary stood without at the sepulcher weeping as she wept she bowed herselfe into the Sepulcher and saw two Angels sitting one at the head the other at the feete where the bodie of Iesus had laine and they said vnto her woman why weepest thou She saide vnto them they haue taken away my Lord I know not where they haue laide him when she had thus said shee turned her selfe backe and sawe Iesus standing and knew not that it was Iesus Iesus saith vnto hir woman why weepest thou whom seekest thou She supposing it had bin the gardner said vnto him If thou hast borne him hence tell me where thou hast laid him and I will take him away Iesus saith vnto her Mary she turned her selfe and saith vnto him Rabony which is to say Master DEarelie beloued in our Sauiour Christ yee haue hearde before of the Disciples comming to the Sepulcher with Mary yee haue heard of Iohns outrunning of Peter and of Peters first going in into the Sepulcher yee haue I hope noted the fruites of faith and loue in the elect children of God in briefe to seeke Christ either aliue or dead that learning to die with him wee may bee assured to liue with him Now ye see what is here said The Disciples went home againe when they had tried the truth of her report and that their eyes were witnes of more than Mary had yet in her wordes deliuerd for that she had not yet presumed either to goe in or so much as to looke in into the Sepulcher they returned home without hauing further conference with her rather willing to leaue her mourning for her loue than to fill her head full of doubts what might become of hir Lord and therefore it is said they returned to their owne home neither commending her for her truth nor giuing her thankes for her report shee had made nor aduising her to seeke further a●ter him nor counsayling her to staye there longer for him but beeing them selues ignoraunt where to seeke him they left her to Gods pleasure to dispose eyther of her staie there or her departure from thence by this I gather that if we shall enquire of the ministers of Gods holy worde touching anye such point as in the holie Scriptures is not laid downe wee must not take it amisse if we be left vnto the mercie of Gods holie spirit for the reuelation of his holy will rather than to ●●ll our heades with such cogitations as neyther the scriptures doe warrant may perhappes please God nor fall out to our comfort but yet let vs with Mary go to the Disciples of Christ to enquire and learne of them what wee may for our comforte but if we can not be resolued then let vs run to Christ with incessant praier that wee may aske and receiue at the handes of his mercie that he shall in his sacred wisdome finde to bee most to his glorie and our comfort And thus much of the Disciples returning againe to their own home now it followes but Marie stood without at the sepulcher weeping as she wept she bowed her selfe into the sepulcher See here as I haue saide before three excellent notes to bee obserued in the loue of Mary to her Lord Christ Constancie Modestie and Humil●●ie Constancie in that though the Disciples returned home shee stayed still Modestie in that she stood as it is saide without at the Sepulcher Humilitie that shee bowed her selfe to looke in but would not presume to goe in though the Disciples had beene there before her how little is this first part of commendation in Maries loue at these daies followed Let them to whom God hath giuen Grace to finde it in them selues in sorrowfull sighes consesse it to his mercie and with teares of true repentance amend it to his Glorie Oh Constancie the true Testimonie of the harts loue and the suerest token of the soules comforte to loue Christ is a blessed gift of the holy Ghost
