increase_v in_o wisdom_n and_o knowledge_n though_o as_o god_n he_o be_v from_o everlasting_a and_o world_n without_o end_n yet_o that_o as_o man_n he_o have_v a_o beginning_n in_o the_o

what_o be_v present_a it_o be_v impossible_a as_o st._n paul_n observe_v for_o a_o man_n to_o hope_v for_o that_o which_o he_o already_o see_v and_o enjoy_v 3._o that_o this_o opinion_n annul_v and_o

exceed_v all_o that_o spirit_n of_o pain_n that_o can_v be_v extract_v from_o the_o infelicity_n of_o this_o world_n but_o the_o holy_a scripture_n everywhere_o assure_v we_o that_o his_o passion_n upon_o the_o cross_n be_v a_o state_n of_o merit_n and_o work_n and_o that_o as_o a_o reward_n of_o it_o he_o be_v crown_v with_o glory_n and_o immortality_n we_o see_v jesus_n say_v the_o 2.9_o the_o

christ_n humble_v himself_o and_o become_v obedient_a to_o death_n even_o the_o death_n of_o the_o cross_n wherefore_o god_n also_o have_v high_o exalt_v he_o and_o give_v he_o a_o name_n which_o be_v above_o every_o name_n for_o his_o suffering_n you_o see_v his_o name_n be_v exalt_v his_o kingdom_n glorify_v and_o his_o humanity_n advance_v above_o all_o the_o order_n of_o angel_n for_o these_o he_o be_v make_v the_o lord_n of_o all_o the_o creature_n the_o first-fruit_n of_o the_o resurrection_n the_o exemplar_n of_o glory_n the_o prince_n and_o head_n of_o the_o catholic_n church_n and_o therefore_o since_o all_o this_o be_v his_o recompense_n the_o reward_n of_o his_o suffering_n it_o can_v not_o be_v a_o necessary_a consequence_n and_o natural_a efflux_n of_o the_o personal_a

all_o the_o torment_n of_o the_o damn_a and_o that_o without_o such_o suffering_n it_o be_v not_o imaginable_a he_o shall_v pay_v the_o price_n which_o god_n wrath_n do_v demand_v of_o we_o but_o the_o same_o that_o reprove_v the_o former_a do_v likewise_o reprehend_v these_o latter_a for_o the_o hope_n which_o be_v the_o support_n of_o his_o soul_n in_o the_o midst_n of_o its_o agony_n as_o it_o confess_v a_o imperfection_n that_o be_v not_o consistent_a with_o the_o state_n of_o glory_n so_o do_v it_o exclude_v that_o despair_n which_o be_v the_o sting_n and_o torment_n of_o accurse_a soul_n our_o dear_a lord_n suffer_v indeed_o the_o whole_a condition_n of_o humanity_n sin_n only_o except_v and_o by_o those_o sad_a pain_n he_o endure_v upon_o the_o cross_n merit_a heaven_n for_o

the_o amazement_n of_o hell_n or_o that_o upon_o the_o cross_n he_o feel_v the_o formal_a misery_n and_o spirit_n of_o pain_n which_o be_v the_o portion_n of_o damn_a spirit_n because_o it_o be_v

i_o think_v it_o be_v high_o probable_a that_o in_o the_o intention_n of_o degree_n and_o present_a anguish_n the_o soul_n of_o our_o lord_n upon_o the_o cross_n may_v feel_v a_o great_a load_n of_o

of_o his_o soul_n who_o be_v the_o word_n incarnate_a render_v his_o suffering_n most_o amaze_a and_o insupportable_a his_o agony_n be_v so_o great_a that_o it_o compel_v he_o for_o a_o time_n

upon_o the_o son_n of_o god_n how_o unparalleled_a and_o unconceivable_o great_a that_o salvation_n in_o the_o purchase_n of_o which_o the_o lord_n of_o host_n himself_o do_v even_o bleed_v and_o
