shall_v he_o not_o do_v it_o have_v he_o speak_v it_o and_o shall_v he_o not_o accomplish_v it_o so_o we_o see_v god_n have_v power_n to_o do_v whatsoever_o he_o will_v many_o time_n we_o will_v a_o thing_n and_o we_o have_v no_o power_n to_o do_v it_o but_o whatsoever_o the_o lord_n will_v he_o have_v power_n to_o do_v it_o his_o power_n be_v as_o large_a as_o his_o will_n and_o therefore_o as_o

possible_a god_n be_v say_v to_o be_v almighty_a because_o he_o be_v able_a to_o do_v whatsoever_o in_o nature_n be_v possible_a to_o be_v do_v if_o there_o be_v any_o power_n that_o can_v do_v any_o

god_n be_v able_a to_o make_v all_o grace_n to_o abound_v ●●wards_o you_o that_o you_o have_v always_o sufficient_o in_o all_o thing_n may_v abound_v in_o every_o good_a work_n therefore_o if_o there_o be_v any_o thing_n possible_a in_o nature_n to_o be_v do_v god_n have_v power_n to_o do_v it_o much_o more_o if_o we_o want_v any_o thing_n god_n by_o his_o power_n can_v make_v a_o supply_n of_o it_o if_o we_o desire_v any_o thing_n god_n can_v help_v we_o we_o need_v seek_v no_o further_o he_o have_v power_n in_o himself_o to_o help_v we_o in_o the_o second_o book_n of_o the_o king_n 1._o 6._o be_v it_o not_o say_v el●as_n to_o the_o king_n because_o there_o be_v no_o god_n in_o israel_n that_o thou_o send_v to_o baalzebub_n the_o god_n of_o ekron_n therefore_o thou_o shall_v not_o come_v down_o from_o thy_o bed_n but_o thou_o shall_v die_v ●o_o we_o may_v say_v to_o they_o that_o seek_v to_o witch_n and_o wizard_n for_o help_n be_v it_o not_o because_o there_o be_v no_o power_n in_o god_n to_o help_v thou_o that_o thou_o use_v such_o base_a untoward_a shift_n to_o bring_v erterprise_n to_o pass_v therefore_o see_v there_o be_v power_n in_o god_n to_o do_v any_o thing_n that_o be_v possible_a in_o nature_n to_o be_v do_v why_o do_v we_o not_o seek_v to_o he_o in_o our_o want_n why_o do_v we_o not_o rely_v upon_o his_o power_n three_o god_n god_n be_v say_v to_o be_v almighty_a because_o the_o whole_a fullness_n of_o power_n be_v in_o god_n in_o the_o creature_n there_o be_v but_o part_n of_o power_n yea_o in_o the_o most_o noble_a creature_n that_o be_v but_o in_o god_n be_v all_o power_n so_o we_o ●ee_o fire_n can_v warm_v we_o but_o it_o can_v feed_v we_o because_o there_o be_v but_o a_o part_n of_o power_n meat_n can_v feed_v we_o but_o it_o can_v help_v we_o against_o disease_n so_o likewise_o physic_n can_v help_v we_o when_o death_n come_v the_o reason_n be_v because_o there_o be_v but_o a_o part_n of_o power_n in_o these_o now_o in_o god_n be_v the_o whole_a power_n therefore_o god_n can_v make_v supply_n unto_o we_o whatsoever_o our_o want_n be_v therefore_o it_o be_v the_o madness_n of_o the_o world_n to_o trust_v to_o their_o money_n to_o their_o good_n to_o their_o worldly_a friend_n in_o which_o thing_n there_o be_v but_o a_o part_n of_o power_n the_o whole_a fullness_n be_v in_o god_n what_o be_v there_o but_o he_o have_v what_o do_v we_o want_v but_o he_o can_v supply_v it_o and_o therefore_o let_v we_o all_o go_v and_o rely_v on_o the_o fullness_n of_o power_n that_o be_v in_o god_n four_o god_n be_v say_v to_o be_v almighty_a because_o all_o the_o power_n of_o the_o creature_n be_v in_o god_n god_n or_o from_o he_o for_o by_o he_o we_o live_v move_v and_o have_v our_o be_v and_o breathe_v and_o therefore_o that_o a_o man_n go_v stir_n move_v or_o do_v any_o thing_n he_o have_v this_o power_n from_o god_n so_o paul_n act_v 17._o 28._o for_o in_o he_o we_o live_v and_o move_v and_o have_v our_o be_v the_o philosopher_n say_v that_o the_o second_o cause_n can_v work_v but_o by_o the_o power_n of_o the_o first_o cause_n as_o in_o a_o clock_n if_o there_o be_v a_o stand_n in_o the_o great_a wheel_n there_o must_v needs_o be_v a_o stand_n in_o the_o little_a one_o also_o simile_n because_o these_o do_v depend_v on_o the_o great_a wheel_n so_o if_o there_o be_v a_o stand_n in_o god_n there_o must_v needs_o be_v a_o stand_n in_o the_o creature_n because_o they_o all_o depend_v on_o he_o for_o all_o the_o power_n we_o have_v to_o stand_v and_o move_v be_v from_o god_n therefore_o when_o we_o sin_n against_o he_o we_o turn_v the_o same_o power_n we_o have_v from_o god_n against_o he_o the_o apostle_n paul_n say_v shall_v we_o take_v the_o member_n of_o christ_n and_o make_v they_o the_o member_n of_o a_o harlot_n god_n forbid_v so_o we_o may_v say_v shall_v we_o take_v the_o power_n we_o have_v from_o god_n simile_n and_o turn_v it_o against_o he_o god_n forbid_v it_o be_v a_o heavy_a thing_n so_o to_o do_v therefore_o see_v all_o the_o power_n of_o the_o creature_n be_v from_o god_n there_o be_v no_o enemy_n that_o can_v lift_v up_o a_o hand_n or_o a_o foot_n against_o we_o to_o do_v we_o hurt_v give_v but_o from_o the_o power_n they_o have_v from_o god_n as_o our_o saviour_n say_v to_o herod_n joh._n 19_o 11._o thou_o can_v have_v no_o pwoer_n at_o all_o against_o

angel_n be_v loose_v thus_o we_o may_v see_v that_o all_o adversary_n power_n be_v not_o able_a to_o stir_v or_o move_v against_o we_o but_o by_o the_o power_n they_o have_v from_o god_n if_o one_o shall_v see_v a_o lion_n or_o a_o bear_n chain_v and_o in_o the_o hand_n of_o his_o father_n he_o will_v not_o be_v afraid_a of_o they_o so_o see_v there_o be_v a_o number_n of_o wicked_a spirit_n in_o vild_a man_n that_o be_v like_a lion_n simile_n and_o bear_n yet_o be_v they_o chain_v and_o in_o the_o hand_n of_o our_o father_n we_o need_v not_o be_v afraid_a of_o they_o for_o they_o have_v no_o power_n to_o do_v we_o any_o hurt_n but_o by_o the_o power_n they_o have_v from_o god_n but_o some_o man_n may_v say_v and_o object_n be_v there_o power_n in_o god_n to_o do_v any_o thing_n object_n there_o be_v some_o thing_n that_o god_n can_v do_v how_o then_o be_v god_n almighty_a as_o tit._n 1._o 2._o it_o be_v say_v that_o god_n can_v lie_v nor_o he_o can_v deny_v himself_o and_o

of_o god_n on_o the_o cross_n be_v show_v two_o way_n 1._o by_o the_o cause_n 2._o by_o the_o effect_n the_o first_o cause_n be_v the_o darken_n of_o the_o sun_n upon_o he_o cause_n the_o effect_n

have_v forsake_v i_o for_o the_o sin_n of_o my_o people_n o_o let_v we_o think_v of_o this_o that_o it_o be_v the_o heavy_a distress_n that_o can_v befall_v we_o to_o have_v god_n depart_v from_o we_o therefore_o howsoever_o our_o friend_n forsake_v we_o and_o the_o world_n leave_v we_o yet_o take_v heed_n that_o god_n do_v not_o depart_v from_o we_o it_o be_v david_n comfort_n that_o although_o

when_o he_o be_v in_o shine_a apparel_n and_o have_v make_v a_o oration_n to_o the_o people_n who_o cry_v out_o the_o voice_n of_o god_n and_o not_o of_o man_n simile_n because_o he_o be_v not_o

if_o we_o do_v not_o repent_v for_o if_o god_n bring_v darkness_n on_o his_o son_n than_o he_o will_v much_o more_o bring_v it_o on_o the_o wicked_a for_o ever_o simile_n if_o a_o poor_a man_n have_v

that_o be_v that_o shall_v not_o last_v only_o three_o day_n together_o but_o for_o ever_o and_o ever_o therefore_o let_v we_o pray_v to_o god_n and_o repent_v of_o our_o sin_n get_v faith_n in_o christ_n that_o we_o may_v be_v deliver_v from_o this_o fearful_a darkness_n that_o shall_v come_v upon_o the_o wicked_a and_o ungodly_a second_o it_o the_o cause_n of_o this_o darkness_n it_o be_v not_o by_o any_o natural_a cause_n but_o by_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n which_o i_o will_v prove_v by_o two_o reason_n first_o 1._o because_o there_o be_v no_o eclipse_n of_o the_o sun_n but_o it_o come_v by_o the_o body_n of_o the_o moon_n for_o the_o body_n of_o the_o moon_n come_v between_o the_o light_n of_o the_o sun_n and_o we_o simile_n make_v the_o eclipse_n as_o the_o hand_n of_o a_o man_n be_v hold_v between_o the_o light_n of_o a_o candle_n and_o his_o own_o eye_n do_v hide_v away_o the_o light_n of_o the_o candle_n from_o his_o eye_n so_o the_o body_n of_o the_o moon_n come_v between_o the_o sun_n and_o we_o make_v the_o sun_n to_o be_v eclipse_v now_o the_o moon_n come_v not_o near_o the_o sun_n but_o when_o she_o change_v but_o this_o be_v when_o the_o moon_n be_v at_o the_o full_a and_o in_o a_o perfect_a diameter_n to_o the_o sun_n for_o we_o know_v that_o the_o jew_n passeover_n be_v keep_v in_o the_o full_a of_o the_o moon_n therefore_o it_o be_v no_o natural_a cause_n second_o 2._o it_o be_v no_o eclipse_n of_o the_o sun_n for_o the_o moon_n can_v take_v away_o but_o part_n of_o the_o light_n because_o the_o sun_n be_v big_a by_o many_o degree_n than_o the_o moon_n so_o then_o there_o be_v no_o natural_a
cause_n of_o this_o darkness_n but_o it_o be_v only_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n that_o do_v restrain_v it_o even_o as_o he_o do_v restrain_v the_o heat_n of_o the_o fire_n when_o the_o three_o child_n be_v cast_v into_o the_o fiery_a furnace_n there_o be_v fire_n but_o god_n restrain_v the_o heat_n thereof_o that_o it_o can_v not_o burn_v so_o there_o be_v the_o sun_n at_o that_o time_n but_o god_n restrain_v the_o light_n of_o it_o three_o hour_n together_o again_o as_o the_o philosopher_n say_v the_o second_o cause_n can_v work_v without_o the_o virtue_n of_o the_o first_o therefore_o if_o the_o first_o cease_v simile_n the_o second_o must_v needs_o cease_v as_o we_o see_v in_o a_o clock_n if_o there_o be_v a_o stand_n in_o the_o great_a wheel_n there_o must_v needs_o be_v a_o stay_n in_o the_o lesser_a because_o the_o great_a wheel_n carry_v about_o the_o little_a one_o so_o as_o i_o may_v say_v god_n be_v as_o the_o great_a wheel_n that_o carry_v about_o the_o creature_n therefore_o when_o there_o be_v a_o stay_n or_o a_o cessation_n in_o god_n there_o must_v needs_o be_v a_o stay_n and_o cessation_n in_o the_o creature_n this_o therefore_o shall_v make_v we_o afraid_a to_o sin_n against_o god_n and_o displease_v he_o because_o he_o be_v able_a in_o a_o moment_n to_o destroy_v all_o the_o creature_n or_o to_o restrain_v they_o therefore_o we_o have_v cause_n to_o be_v afraid_a to_o offend_v or_o displease_v he_o simile_n we_o see_v how_o afraid_a man_n be_v to_o sin_n against_o the_o king_n and_o offend_v he_o who_o yet_o can_v but_o kill_v the_o body_n but_o god_n be_v able_a to_o kill_v both_o foul_a and_o body_n and_o cast_v they_o into_o hell_n fire_n all_o the_o king_n be_v not_o able_a to_o restrain_v the_o influence_n of_o the_o heavenly_a body_n but_o god_n we_o see_v be_v able_a to_o do_v it_o he_o can_v restrain_v as_o job_n say_v the_o influence_n of_o the_o pleyade_n and_o orion_n and_o therefore_o how_o afraid_a shall_v we_o be_v to_o snne_v against_o he_o indeed_o so_o much_o the_o more_o because_o we_o have_v make_v a_o covenant_n with_o god_n of_o new_a obedience_n we_o see_v if_o a_o man_n have_v give_v one_o a_o piece_n of_o gold_n or_o silver_n upon_o a_o condition_n that_o if_o he_o do_v such_o and_o such_o thing_n he_o shall_v double_v the_o gold_n simile_n if_o he_o be_v tempt_v he_o will_v say_v i_o dare_v not_o do_v it_o because_o i_o be_o bind_v to_o the_o contrary_a so_o if_o we_o be_v entice_v to_o any_o sin_n we_o shall_v say_v i_o dare_v not_o do_v so_o because_o i_o be_o bind_v to_o the_o contrary_a if_o a_o man_n set_v a_o bowl_n well_o at_o the_o first_o it_o be_v like_a to_o run_v well_o but_o if_o it_o be_v not_o set_v well_o it_o can_v possible_o run_v well_o so_o if_o we_o set_v ourselves_o in_o a_o good_a course_n at_o the_o first_o it_o be_v like_a we_o shall_v continue_v well_o but_o if_o we_o do_v not_o how_o be_v it_o possible_a we_o shall_v come_v in_o a_o good_a course_n three_o 3_o the_o end_n of_o it_o some_o say_v the_o sun_n be_v darken_v because_o it_o be_v ashamed_a to_o behold_v the_o death_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n darkness_n and_o therefore_o be_v darken_v even_o as_o hagar_n will_v not_o see_v the_o death_n of_o her_o child_n some_o say_v that_o the_o end_n be_v to_o deter_v the_o jew_n from_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n simile_n as_o a_o man_n when_o he_o will_v not_o have_v his_o servant_n to_o leave_v work_n he_o will_v not_o put_v out_o the_o candle_n so_o say_v they_o it_o be_v to_o keep_v the_o jew_n from_o so_o vile_a a_o thing_n as_o to_o kill_v the_o son_n of_o god_n therefore_o the_o sun_n be_v darken_v but_o in_o my_o mind_n there_o be_v another_o end_n howsoever_o these_o may_v be_v probable_a and_o that_o be_v this_o that_o see_v christ_n be_v to_o suffer_v for_o we_o and_o for_o our_o sin_n therefore_o god_n do_v darken_v the_o sun_n upon_o he_o to_o teach_v we_o that_o we_o deserve_v not_o to_o have_v the_o light_n of_o the_o sun_n moon_n or_o star_n to_o shine_v on_o we_o therefore_o when_o as_o we_o look_v upon_o our_o garden_n wife_n child_n land_n or_o good_n we_o must_v confess_v and_o say_v

that_o hang_v on_o tree_n gal._n 3._o 13._o deut._n 21._o 23._o so_o that_o he_o die_v not_o the_o least_o death_n but_o the_o worst_a that_o may_v be_v even_o the_o curse_a death_n of_o the_o cross_n and_o it_o be_v because_o he_o will_v take_v our_o curse_n upon_o he_o for_o by_o reason_n of_o our_o sin_n we_o deserve_v to_o be_v curse_v both_o in_o life_n and_o death_n that_o we_o may_v be_v bless_v in_o our_o death_n and_o free_v of_o the_o curse_n he_o be_v content_v to_o take_v this_o same_o accurse_a death_n upon_o he_o let_v we_o therefore_o never_o forget_v this_o great_a love_n of_o christ_n to_o we_o yea_o remember_v what_o saint_n paul_n say_v to_o philemon_n concern_v onesimus_n if_o he_o owe_v thou_o any_o thing_n set_v it_o on_o my_o score_n i_o will_v satisfy_v thou_o for_o it_o so_o christ_n do_v engage_v himself_o to_o god_n for_o we_o to_o take_v our_o curse_n on_o he_o that_o we_o may_v be_v bless_v to_o die_v for_o we_o that_o we_o may_v live_v to_o be_v forsake_v of_o god_n that_o we_o may_v be_v receive_v of_o god_n therefore_o let_v we_o never_o forget_v this_o love_n of_o christ_n to_o we_o as_o john_n 13._o saint_n peter_n wonder_v at_o christ_n humility_n will_v thou_o wash_v my_o foot_n so_o we_o may_v much_o more_o wonder_n at_o the_o humility_n of_o christ_n that_o he_o that_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n high_a than_o the_o angel_n will_v

the_o example_n of_o christ_n how_o far_o our_o christian_a patience_n do_v extend_v sermon_n xx._n matthew_n 27._o 34._o they_o give_v he_o vinegar_n to_o drink_v mingle_v with_o gall_n and_o when_o

the_o next_o general_a point_n to_o be_v observe_v christ_n be_v the_o very_a act_n of_o his_o crucify_a show_v but_o in_o a_o word_n he_o be_v crucify_v and_o yet_o there_o be_v much_o pain_n 1_o

instruction_n first_o instruction_n we_o may_v see_v what_o a_o goodly_a change_n a_o christian_n make_v at_o the_o time_n of_o death_n for_o all_o the_o while_o he_o live_v here_o he_o hang_v on_o the_o cross_n as_o the_o thief_n do_v in_o trouble_n and_o affliction_n in_o pain_n and_o in_o sickness_n but_o when_o death_n come_v it_o set_v a_o end_n of_o all_o it_o take_v a_o man_n off_o the_o cross_n it_o enter_v a_o man_n into_o heaven_n therefore_o a_o christian_a have_v no_o cause_n to_o be_v afraid_a of_o death_n for_o if_o a_o man_n be_v profane_a and_o live_v in_o his_o sin_n he_o have_v cause_n to_o be_v afraid_a of_o death_n because_o it_o be_v a_o ugly_a gate_n to_o let_v he_o into_o hell_n but_o if_o he_o be_v a_o man_n of_o repentance_n than_o death_n be_v only_o a_o gate_n to_o let_v he_o into_o heaven_n therefore_o a_o christian_a have_v no_o cause_n to_o be_v afraid_a of_o it_o if_o a_o king_n shall_v promise_v one_o that_o if_o he_o will_v come_v unto_o he_o he_o will_v bestow_v some_o great_a office_n simile_n or_o place_n upon_o he_o if_o there_o shall_v be_v at_o the_o palace_n gate_n a_o ugly_a and_o grisly_a porter_n to_o let_v he_o in_o he_o will_v

mean_n but_o as_o christ_n do_v appear_v to_o mary_n so_o in_o due_a time_n thou_o shall_v see_v he_o to_o thy_o comfort_n now_o there_o be_v two_o cause_n why_o christ_n do_v not_o appear_v to_o mary_n nor_o show_v himself_o to_o she_o present_o long_o first_o 1_o through_o her_o own_o default_n for_o when_o christ_n appear_v to_o she_o she_o think_v it_o have_v be_v the_o gardener_n he_o do_v not_o appear_v in_o such_o a_o form_n but_o marie_n think_v so_o she_o do_v so_o sorrow_n and_o mourn_v for_o christ_n that_o though_o he_o be_v before_o she_o she_o can_v not_o see_v he_o it_o be_v through_o her_o own_o default_n so_o god_n many_o time_n give_v comfort_n to_o we_o when_o through_o our_o own_o default_n we_o see_v not_o the_o comfort_n that_o be_v before_o we_o through_o the_o sorrow_n and_o grief_n we_o sustain_v but_o refuse_v it_o when_o it_o be_v offer_v and_o this_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o it_o be_v so_o long●ere_v some_o can_v receive_v comfort_n as_o psal_n 77._o david_n say_v my_o soul_n refuse_v comfort_n so_o it_o be_v with_o christian_n many_o time_n god_n offer_v comfort_n to_o they_o and_o they_o refuse_v it_o this_o be_v the_o estate_n of_o the_o best_a so_o likewise_o christ_n appear_v to_o the_o world_n when_o through_o their_o own_o default_n they_o can_v not_o see_v he_o through_o the_o blindness_n and_o ignorance_n that_o remain_v in_o they_o even_o to_o this_o day_n they_o see_v not_o though_o he_o speak_v unto_o they_o day_n by_o day_n they_o have_v not_o the_o eye_n of_o faith_n to_o see_v he_o this_o be_v the_o estate_n of_o the_o world_n though_o god_n speak_v unto_o they_o they_o know_v it_o not_o they_o think_v it_o be_v the_o gardener_n they_o think_v it_o be_v the_o voice_n of_o a_o man_n and_o not_o of_o god_n but_o the_o true_a church_n of_o christ_n know_v when_o christ_n be_v speak_v unto_o she_o it_o be_v the_o voice_n of_o my_o well-beloved_a so_o christ_n no_o soon_o speak_v but_o they_o know_v it_o but_o the_o great_a part_n of_o the_o world_n do_v not_o so_o though_o he_o speak_v unto_o they_o from_o day_n to_o day_n christ_n appear_v unto_o they_o and_o through_o their_o own_o default_n they_o do_v not_o see_v he_o the_o second_o cause_n be_v 2_o through_o a_o special_a dispensation_n that_o she_o may_v the_o more_o repent_v of_o her_o sin_n and_o make_v a_o trial_n of_o her_o faith_n to_o make_v the_o present_a more_o comfortable_a as_o joseph_n make_v himself_o strange_a to_o his_o brethren_n a_o long_a time_n simile_n and_o afterward_o do_v reveal_v himself_o unto_o they_o so_o though_o christ_n make_v himself_o strange_a and_o hold_v we_o in_o suspense_n for_o a_o time_n it_o be_v because_o he_o will_v have_v our_o faith_n try_v and_o because_o we_o may_v have_v the_o great_a comfort_n when_o we_o find_v he_o now_o though_o he_o hold_v himself_o a_o long_a time_n in_o suspense_n yet_o christ_n do_v discover_v himself_o by_o a_o word_n for_o he_o say_v marry_o and_o she_o turn_v about_o and_o say_v rabboni_n master_n so_o it_o be_v but_o a_o word_n of_o christ_n that_o give_v comfort_n he_o can_v do_v it_o by_o a_o word_n he_o can_v make_v all_o our_o discomfort_n to_o cease_v and_o give_v comfort_n with_o a_o word_n thus_o we_o see_v matth._n 8._o that_o the_o centurion_n say_v to_o christ_n do_v but_o speak_v the_o word_n and_o thy_o servant_n shall_v be_v whole_a if_o christ_n do_v but_o speak_v a_o word_n his_o wisdom_n be_v to_o lay_v hold_n on_o that_o word_n which_o must_v teach_v we_o that_o we_o must_v catch_v hold_v on_o every_o little_a word_n of_o christ_n i_o have_v show_v you_o heretofore_o that_o it_o be_v the_o nature_n of_o the_o vine_n to_o catch_v hold_n on_o every_o little_a stick_n or_o on_o every_o little_a thing_n with_o his_o twig_n to_o lift_v up_o himself_o simile_n so_o a_o christian_a must_v lay_v hold_v on_o every_o little_a word_n of_o christ_n to_o help_v he_o by_o but_o it_o be_v a_o pitiful_a thing_n that_o one_o word_n of_o christ_n will_v not_o serve_v nor_o all_o the_o word_n of_o christ_n nor_o the_o mercy_n nor_o the_o judgement_n of_o god_n to_o turn_v we_o to_o he_o as_o marie_n catch_v hold_v on_o every_o little_a word_n so_o it_o must_v be_v our_o wisdom_n to_o lay_v hold_n on_o the_o least_o word_n that_o may_v bring_v we_o to_o christ_n from_o hence_o two_o thing_n be_v to_o be_v consider_v first_o 1_o that_o true_a faith_n do_v lay_v hold_n on_o every_o little_a word_n of_o christ_n it_o be_v like_o the_o vine_n that_o lay_v hold_v on_o every_o little_a stick_n and_o post_n with_o his_o key_n and_o clanver_n to_o lift_v up_o himself_o consideration_n so_o true_a faith_n will_v lay_v hold_n on_o every_o little_a mean_n to_o lift_v up_o itself_o if_o it_o be_v but_o a_o word_n it_o will_v lay_v hold_n on_o it_o as_o we_o see_v john_n 2._o christ_n say_v to_o his_o mother_n marie_n woman_n my_o hour_n be_v not_o yet_o come_v she_o lay_v hold_v on_o this_o word_n of_o christ_n and_o say_v to_o the_o servant_n whatsoever_o he_o bid_v you_o do_v that_o do_v you_o and_o you_o shall_v not_o want_v wine_n so_o matth._n 15._o it_o be_v but_o a_o word_n that_o christ_n speak_v to_o the_o woman_n of_o canaan_n and_o a_o sour_a word_n too_o yet_o the_o poor_a woman_n catch_v hold_v of_o it_o so_o in_o the_o book_n of_o king_n when_o benhadads_n servant_n come_v unto_o the_o king_n they_o catch_v hold_v on_o every_o word_n thus_o where_o there_o be_v true_a faith_n it_o will_v lay_v hold_n on_o every_o little_a word_n of_o christ_n therefore_o when_o man_n can_v catch_v hold_n on_o one_o word_n of_o christ_n nor_o all_o the_o word_n of_o christ_n this_o do_v show_v the_o dulness_n and_o deadness_n of_o man_n heart_n it_o be_v say_v jonah_n 2._o they_o which_o follow_v lie_a vanity_n forsake_v their_o own_o mercy_n and_o there_o be_v great_a mercy_n offer_v in_o the_o word_n in_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o gospel_n but_o they_o which_o despise_v and_o refuse_v it_o despise_v and_o forsake_v this_o great_a mercy_n that_o be_v offer_v unto_o they_o the_o second_o thing_n be_v 2_o the_o infinite_a comfort_n that_o a_o christian_n have_v after_o he_o find_v christ_n consideration_n heaven_n and_o earth_n can_v give_v that_o comfort_n that_o a_o christian_n have_v after_o he_o have_v find_v he_o therefore_o although_o it_o cost_v a_o man_n sore_a travel_n and_o labour_n and_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o pain_n yet_o he_o think_v his_o labour_n well_o bestow_v if_o he_o can_v find_v he_o at_o last_o so_o we_o see_v in_o marie_n that_o she_o seek_v christ_n and_o seek_v he_o with_o tear_n and_o yet_o when_o she_o have_v find_v he_o how_o joyful_a be_v she_o say_v rabboni_n master_n thou_o be_v the_o man_n i_o seek_v for_o thou_o thou_o be_v he_o i_o do_v long_o for_o so_o joh._n 1._o 41._o andrew_n say_v to_o simon_n peter_n we_o have_v find_v the_o messiah_n and_o the_o wise_a man_n matth._n 2._o when_o they_o have_v find_v christ_n they_o rejoice_v exceed_o therefore_o whatsoever_o pain_n a_o christian_n take_v to_o seek_v christ_n if_o once_o he_o have_v find_v he_o the_o world_n can_v make_v he_o so_o glad_a he_o think_v all_o his_o pain_n and_o labour_n well_o bestow_v simile_n if_o a_o man_n find_v a_o bag_n of_o gold_n how_o glad_a will_v he_o be_v but_o all_o the_o gold_n in_o the_o world_n be_v not_o like_a to_o it_o the_o apostle_n count_v all_o thing_n dung_n and_o dross_n in_o regard_n of_o it_o it_o be_v like_o the_o pearl_n that_o the_o merchant_n go_v and_o sell_v all_o that_o he_o have_v to_o buy_v the_o field_n where_o the_o pearl_n be_v three_o 3_o the_o end_n why_o christ_n do_v manifest_a himself_n to_o marie_n be_v twofold_a marie_n 1._o by_o information_n and_o

of_o christ_n that_o he_o will_v stoop_v so_o low_a to_o wash_v his_o disciple_n foot_n or_o he_o that_o be_v the_o lord_n of_o all_o high_a than_o the_o heaven_n simile_n shall_v stoop_v so_o low_a to_o wash_v my_o foot_n so_o we_o may_v much_o more_o wonder_n and_o admire_v at_o this_o love_n of_o christ_n that_o he_o will_v die_v for_o we_o and_o die_v such_o a_o curse_a death_n o_o lord_n

offend_v at_o the_o cross_n of_o christ_n but_o we_o have_v cause_n to_o be_v the_o more_o thankful_a to_o god_n for_o it_o and_o to_o say_v as_o saint_n john_n say_v he_o have_v love_v we_o and_o

that_o we_o shall_v suffer_v because_o we_o shall_v be_v conformable_a to_o he_o for_o as_o the_o head_n suffer_v so_o must_v the_o member_n as_o christ_n speak_v matth._n 1_o 16._o if_o any_o man_n

therefore_o it_o be_v of_o necessity_n that_o we_o shall_v suffer_v second_o 2_o because_o there_o be_v a_o number_n of_o sin_n that_o be_v so_o sink_v and_o soaken_v into_o the_o flesh_n that_o

but_o see_v sin_n be_v temporary_a how_o do_v it_o stand_v with_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n sol._n to_o punish_v sin_n eternal_o i_o answer_v two_o way_n first_o every_o sin_n be_v eternal_a according_a to_o the_o intention_n of_o the_o doer_n for_o if_o wicked_a man_n shall_v live_v eternal_o eternal_o they_o will_v grieve_v god_n eternal_o and_o to_o this_o purpose_n gregory_n say_v well_o wicked_a man_n will_v live_v ever_o to_o weary_a and_o to_o grieve_v god_n with_o their_o sin_n therefore_o it_o be_v justice_n in_o god_n that_o see_v a_o sinner_n sin_n eternal_o in_o his_o own_o intenlion_n to_o punish_v it_o eternal_o 1_o the_o second_o answer_n be_v 2_o because_o we_o sin_n against_o a_o infinite_a thing_n and_o therefore_o it_o must_v have_v infinite_a punishment_n now_o because_o it_o can_v be_v infinite_a in_o regard_n of_o the_o degree_n see_v man_n be_v but_o finite_a and_o be_v not_o capable_a of_o infinite_a torment_n at_o one_o time_n therefore_o it_o be_v infinite_a in_o the_o continuance_n of_o it_o the_o use_n be_v first_o 1_o see_v hell_n fire_n be_v the_o portion_n of_o sinner_n therefore_o as_o a_o man_n will_v take_v heed_n of_o fire_n and_o water_n and_o be_v afraid_a to_o go_v into_o it_o how_o much_o more_o shall_v we_o be_v afraid_a to_o meddle_v with_o sin_n see_v it_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o it_o if_o a_o man_n go_v to_o hire_v a_o porter_n to_o carry_v a_o burden_n the_o porter_n will_v first_o poise_v it_o and_o feel_v the_o weight_n of_o it_o simile_n which_o if_o he_o see_v he_o can_v bear_v it_o shall_v not_o come_v on_o his_o back_n for_o any_o money_n so_o before_o we_o meddle_v with_o sin_n we_o must_v peyse_v it_o and_o consider_v the_o weight_n and_o burden_n of_o it_o whether_o we_o be_v able_a to_o live_v in_o

w●e_v tell_v or_o oath_n we_o do_v swear_v and_o for_o every_o one_o we_o do_v deceive_v or_o slander_v simile_n we_o shall_v hold_v one_o of_o our_o hand_n in_o scald_a lead_n or_o in_o flame_a fire_n but_o half_a a_o hour_n how_o afraid_a will_v man_n be_v to_o break_v the_o king_n law_n now_o the_o truth_n be_v that_o every_o sin_n we_o commit_v against_o god_n if_o we_o do_v not_o repent_v of_o it_o carry_v it_o up_o into_o the_o cross_n of_o christ_n and_o seek_v reconciliation_n in_o his_o blood_n we_o shall_v not_o have_v our_o hand_n or_o foot_n to_o be_v in_o fire_n half_a a_o hour_n but_o every_o part_n of_o we_o for_o ever_o and_o ever_o shall_v be_v torment_v in_o hell_n fire_n second_o 2_o see_v hell_n fire_n be_v the_o punishment_n of_o sin_n and_o the_o estate_n that_o every_o wicked_a man_n must_v pass_v into_o therefore_o we_o may_v see_v the_o madness_n of_o man_n to_o be_v carry_v away_o with_o the_o pleasure_n and_o delight_n of_o sin_n as_o with_o a_o
