consider_v second_o the_o true_a cause_n of_o the_o cross_n be_v to_o save_v thou_o to_o adorn_v thou_o with_o virtue_n and_o to_o govern_v thou_o sweet_o pray_v thy_o lord_n to_o suffer_v none_o to_o

consider_v first_o that_o many_o jew_n do_v see_v and_o read_v these_o holy_a word_n but_o they_o understand_v they_o not_o and_o therefore_o scorn_v they_o that_o thou_o may_v learn_v that_o none_o

second_o because_o the_o name_n of_o jesus_n be_v to_o be_v high_o honour_v and_o this_o title_n to_o be_v celebrate_v over_o the_o whole_a world_n and_o the_o cross_n itself_o to_o be_v imprint_v in_o king_n forehead_n therefore_o it_o be_v convenient_a to_o have_v it_o first_o laugh_v at_o and_o scorn_v for_o even_o as_o a_o brazen_a vessel_n do_v shine_v bright_a after_o it_o have_v be_v

affliction_n nor_o be_v dismay_v since_o there_o be_v so_o great_a glory_n provide_v for_o thou_o consider_v second_o that_o christ_n be_v crucify_v not_o far_o from_o the_o city_n for_o though_o he_o be_v throw_v out_o by_o the_o inhabitant_n of_o the_o city_n and_o of_o this_o world_n yet_o because_o it_o be_v proper_a always_o to_o he_o to_o spare_v and_o to_o be_v merciful_a he_o go_v not_o far_o but_o stay_v hard_o by_o knock_v continual_o at_o the_o gate_n of_o our_o heart_n to_o try_v if_o he_o may_v be_v let_v in_o consider_v three_o that_o the_o wicked_a can_v endure_v the_o very_a name_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o christ_n because_o the_o cross_n of_o christ_n be_v distasteful_a to_o sinner_n who_o choose_v rather_o to_o have_v a_o delicate_a king_n than_o one_o nail_v to_o the_o cross_n this_o be_v the_o cause_n as_o st._n damascene_fw-la testify_v why_o the_o jew_n crucify_v christ_n with_o his_o face_n turn_v from_o the_o city_n 13_o lib._n 4._o act._n 11._o cap._n 13_o and_o look_v towards_o the_o gentile_n because_o neither_o they_o nor_o their_o child_n shall_v ever_o receive_v he_o for_o their_o messiah_n give_v thou_o thank_v unto_o christ_n that_o he_o will_v behold_v the_o gentile_n from_o his_o cross_n think_v upon_o thou_o and_o bring_v thou_o to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o he_o pray_v he_o never_o to_o turn_v his_o eye_n from_o thou_o consider_v four_o pilate_n answer_n he_o indeed_o set_v on_o this_o title_n but_o move_v thereunto_o by_o the_o instinct_n of_o god_n therefore_o that_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v undo_v which_o by_o god_n have_v be_v do_v for_o the_o glory_n of_o the_o cross_n and_o the_o kingdom_n of_o christ_n which_o be_v his_o church_n will_v stand_v &_o continue_v though_o thou_o shall_v forsake_v it_o for_o if_o thou_o
