have_v say_v father_n into_o thy_o hand_n i_o do_v commend_v my_o spirit_n the_o evangelist_n do_v subjoine_v and_o say_v this_o he_o give_v up_o the_o ghost_n for_o to_o give_v up_o the_o ghost_n signify_v to_o cease_v to_o draw_v spirit_n or_o wind_n which_o be_v proper_a to_o those_o creature_n which_o be_v live_v the_o which_o thing_n can_v be_v say_v of_o the_o soul_n the_o substantial_a

exposition_n be_v gather_v from_o those_o word_n of_o the_o apostle_n hebr._n 5._o who_o in_o the_o day_n of_o his_o flesh_n with_o a_o strong_a cry_n and_o tear_n offer_v prayer_n and_o supplication_n to_o he_o that_o can_v save_v he_o from_o death_n be_v hear_v for_o his_o reverence_n this_o place_n some_o do_v understand_v of_o the_o prayer_n which_o our_o lord_n make_v in_o the_o garden_n say_v father_n if_o it_o be_v possible_a transfer_v this_o chalice_n from_o i_o mar._n 14._o but_o in_o that_o place_n our_o lord_n do_v not_o pray_v with_o a_o strong_a cry_n neither_o be_v he_o hear_v neither_o will_v he_o have_v be_v hear_v that_o he_o shall_v be_v free_a &_o exempt_v from_o the_o death_n for_o he_o pray_v that_o the_o chalice_n of_o his_o passion_n may_v pass_v from_o he_o thereby_o to_o show_v a_o natural_a desire_n of_o not_o die_v and_o himself_o to_o be_v true_a man_n who_o nature_n do_v abhor_v death_n but_o he_o add_v not_o that_o which_o i_o will_v but_o that_o which_o thou_o let_v thy_o will_v be_v do_v thus_o we_o see_v that_o the_o prayer_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o garden_n can_v be_v that_o prayer_n of_o which_o the_o apostle_n speak_v to_o the_o hebrew_n other_o maintain_v that_o that_o prayer_n of_o christ_n mention_v by_o s._n paul_n be_v the_o same_o which_o our_o lord_n make_v for_o his_o crucifier_n upon_o the_o cross_n say_v father_n forgive_v they_o for_o they_o do_v not_o know_v what_o they_o do_v luc._n 23._o but_o at_o that_o time_n our_o lord_n do_v not_o use_v any_o strong_a cry_n neither_o do_v he_o pray_v for_o himself_o that_o he_o may_v be_v save_v from_o death_n both_o which_o two_o point_n be_v evident_o express_v by_o the_o apostle_n to_o the_o hebrew_n for_o be_v upon_o the_o cross_n he_o pray_v for_o his_o

he_o be_v not_o hear_v &_o yet_o s._n paul_n testify_v that_o he_o be_v hear_v but_o the_o meaning_n be_v that_o he_o pray_v that_o he_o may_v not_o be_v whole_o absorb_v up_o by_o death_n but_o

can_v not_o be_v ignorant_a but_o that_o he_o be_v to_o die_v especial_o be_v then_o most_o near_o to_o death_n but_o he_o cover_v to_o be_v safe_a from_o death_n in_o this_o sense_n to_o wit_n that_o
