the_o quietness_n in_o other_o show_v either_o the_o pain_n to_o be_v more_o or_o the_o patience_n less_o and_o yet_o a_o strong_a patience_n will_v often_o outbear_v a_o grievous_a extremity_n with_o little_a appearance_n of_o grief_n so_o that_o this_o fit_a have_v many_o marvel_n in_o it_o if_o any_o one_o can_v come_v again_o like_o lazarus_n to_o tell_v we_o they_o but_o among_o all_o death_n whatsoever_o they_o be_v never_o be_v any_o so_o strange_a as_o our_o saviour_n be_v for_o in_o it_o both_o pain_n and_o patience_n meet_v in_o their_o extremity_n so_o that_o pain_n do_v her_o worst_a to_o overcome_v patience_n and_o patience_n her_o best_a to_o overcome_v pain_n and_o yet_o neither_o pain_n have_v the_o upper_a hand_n though_o it_o kill_v nor_o patience_n lose_v though_o christ_n die_v because_o he_o that_o suffer_v suffer_v but_o at_o his_o own_o will_n and_o his_o suffer_v beside_o be_v the_o pain_n of_o pain_n yea_o the_o death_n of_o death_n itself_o yet_o howsoever_o it_o prevail_v not_o so_o great_a nevertheless_o be_v this_o passion_n &_o so_o grievous_a as_o it_o have_v nor_o can_v have_v none_o to_o sample_n it_o for_o christ_n pain_n be_v such_o as_o never_o creature_n feel_v neither_o can_v do_v and_o on_o the_o other_o side_n his_o patience_n so_o great_a as_o for_o all_o the_o sorrow_n he_o suffer_v on_o the_o cross_n he_o be_v not_o read_v to_o have_v utter_v a_o groan_n there_o so_o that_o it_o may_v be_v easy_o discern_v that_o patience_n have_v the_o victory_n because_o pain_n can_v neither_o make_v she_o leave_v the_o field_n till_o she_o listen_v nor_o bring_v she_o to_o any_o condition_n but_o her_o own_o which_o be_v most_o honourable_a this_o be_v but_o one_o occurrence_n but_o the_o death_n i_o have_v name_v contain_v further_o a_o story_n that_o may_v take_v up_o reader_n thy_o whole_a intention_n for_o in_o it_o thou_o shall_v see_v wonder_n at_o it_o a_o cross_n set_v up_o to_o crucify_v god_n on_o life_n condemn_v to_o die_v righteousness_n to_o suffer_v and_o which_o be_v more_o all_o this_o effect_v yet_o nothing_o do_v to_o advance_v the_o contrary_a party_n for_o through_o christ_n body_n death_n slay_v itself_o and_o sin_n and_o satan_n take_v their_o deadly_a wound_n see_v again_o and_o again_o wonder_v at_o it_o patience_n exalt_v upon_o her_o throne_n the_o cross_n and_o crown_v with_o thorn_n whereof_o every_o point_n be_v deadly_a yet_o still_o unmoove_v and_o like_o herself_o and_o as_o thou_o read_v these_o thing_n write_v with_o blood_n in_o stead_n of_o ink_n upon_o the_o wide-open_a book_n of_o the_o cross_n if_o thou_o apply_v they_o to_o thyself_o and_o weigh_v they_o in_o thy_o heart_n as_o marie_n do_v they_o be_v for_o thou_o all_o suffer_v and_o christ_n victory_n be_v become_v thy_o hope_n of_o glory_n his_o cross_n be_v thy_o crown_n his_o suffering_n thy_o salvation_n his_o death_n thy_o life_n here_o be_v now_o a_o book_n write_v in_o red_a

when_o thou_o begin_v to_o read_v every_o thing_n signify_v as_o thou_o see_v it_o write_v but_o when_o thou_o come_v to_o construe_v they_o they_o mean_v quite_o otherwise_o for_o at_o first_o thou_o shall_v see_v scorn_n shame_n suffer_v death_n and_o all_o these_o lay_v upon_o innocence_n for_o thy_o sin_n but_o this_o when_o thou_o have_v acknowledge_v thou_o must_v read_v every_o word_n contrary_a over_o again_o so_o that_o then_o shame_n be_v glory_n suffering_n be_v victory_n death_n be_v life_n both_o to_o he_o that_o bear_v they_o and_o to_o thou_o that_o believe_v and_o now_o thou_o have_v the_o secret_a of_o this_o strange_a character_n ply_v thy_o book_n hard_o and_o take_v out_o of_o it_o as_o much_o as_o thou_o can_v for_o thy_o learning_n especial_o this_o week_n thou_o must_v do_v it_o because_o this_o be_v the_o very_a time_n in_o which_o these_o thing_n be_v first_o write_v not_o with_o ink_n as_o i_o say_v but_o with_o his_o blood_n that_o die_v for_o thou_o read_v then_o and_o learn_v and_o meditate_v and_o apply_v which_o all_o thou_o may_v do_v though_o thou_o be_v no_o scholar_n for_o he_o that_o never_o see_v book_n before_o may_v know_v his_o christ-cross_n though_o he_o can_v read_v no_o other_o letter_n when_o thou_o hear_v i_o thus_o speak_v of_o a_o cross_n and_o suffer_v thou_o can_v look_v for_o nothing_o in_o such_o a_o book_n but_o
