our_o sin_n be_v wash_v with_o christ_n blood_n when_o our_o body_n be_v wash_v they_o be_v take_v out_o of_o the_o water_n again_o to_o signify_v how_o we_o shall_v be_v raise_v from_o death_n to_o life_n by_o the_o resurrection_n of_o christ_n and_o how_o we_o shall_v rise_v from_o sin_n to_o righteousness_n thus_o we_o begin_v our_o life_n with_o a_o solemn_a promise_n to_o god_n before_o the_o church_n to_o serve_v he_o with_o our_o body_n and_o soul_n till_o death_n we_o depart_v now_o let_v we_o remember_v how_o we_o have_v keep_v this_o promise_n with_o the_o lord_n or_o rather_o how_o we_o have_v break_v promise_n with_o he_o then_o we_o give_v ourselves_o to_o god_n but_o since_o we_o have_v give_v ourselves_o to_o sin_n then_o we_o promise_v to_o renounce_v the_o world_n but_o ever_o since_o we_o have_v embrace_v the_o world_n therefore_o now_o let_v we_o begin_v to_o pay_v that_o which_o we_o ought_v so_o long_o and_o pray_v the_o lord_n which_o have_v institute_v this_o sacrament_n as_o a_o seal_n of_o his_o mercy_n to_o receive_v this_o child_n into_o his_o favour_n as_o we_o receive_v it_o into_o his_o church_n 11._o to_o baptize_v it_o with_o his_o spirit_n as_o we_o baptize_v it_o with_o water_n and_o power_n upon_o it_o his_o grace_n as_o we_o give_v it_o the_o sign_n of_o grace_n finis_fw-la the_o pilgrim_n wish_v philip_n 1._o 23._o i_o desire_v to_o be_v dissolve_v and_o to_o be_v with_o christ._n here_o be_v paul_n desire_n to_o be_v dissolve_v and_o the_o cause_n that_o he_o may_v be_v with_o christ_n wherein_o first_o you_o shall_v see_v the_o difference_n between_o the_o faithful_a and_o the_o wicked_a how_o one_o loathe_v this_o life_n and_o the_o other_o long_v after_o it_o second_o because_o the_o apostle_n seem_v to_o desire_v death_n you_o shall_v see_v whether_o any_o man_n may_v wish_v to_o die_v three_o because_o after_o his_o dissolution_n he_o hope_v to_o be_v with_o christ_n you_o shall_v see_v the_o diversity_n of_o judgement_n between_o paul_n and_o the_o papist_n which_o think_v when_o they_o be_v dead_a that_o they_o shall_v go_v on_o to_o purgatory_n last_o because_o the_o soul_n which_o be_v with_o christ_n can_v walk_v as_o they_o do_v when_o they_o live_v upon_o the_o earth_n you_o shall_v hear_v a_o little_a of_o walk_v spirit_n which_o have_v be_v so_o much_o talk_v of_o in_o the_o time_n of_o popery_n and_o be_v take_v for_o the_o soul_n of_o they_o which_o be_v dead_a after_o we_o will_v speak_v a_o little_a of_o the_o sacrament_n which_o you_o come_v to_o receive_v and_o so_o commit_v you_o to_o god_n i_o desire_v to_o be_v dissolve_v 10._o before_o christ_n come_n when_o the_o king_n or_o patriarch_n die_v it_o be_v say_v that_o they_o go_v to_o their_o father_n 37_o as_o we_o read_v of_o david_n and_o solomon_n 1._o etc._n etc._n but_o after_o christ_n come_n when_o the_o faithful_a die_n they_o be_v say_v to_o go_v to_o christ_n 7._o as_o we_o read_v of_o the_o penitent_a thief_n luke_n 23._o 43._o not_o because_o the_o patriarch_n go_v not_o to_o christ_n as_o well_o as_o they_o but_o because_o yet_o christ_n be_v not_o ascend_v to_o heaven_n therefore_o they_o be_v not_o to_o go_v to_o christ_n although_o if_o they_o go_v to_o heaven_n they_o must_v needs_o go_v to_o christ_n because_o christ_n touch_v his_o godhead_n be_v always_o in_o heaven_n i_o desire_v to_o be_v dissolve_v as_o the_o worldly_a long_o for_o christ_n to_o come_v to_o they_o so_o the_o faithful_a long_o to_o go_v to_o christ_n for_o unless_o we_o ascend_v to_o he_o as_o he_o descend_v to_o we_o his_o descend_v be_v in_o vain_a because_o he_o come_v down_o that_o we_o may_v go_v up_o he_o descend_v to_o take_v our_o flesh_n we_o ascend_v to_o take_v his_o kingdom_n he_o descend_v to_o be_v crucify_v we_o ascend_v to_o be_v glorify_v he_o descend_v to_o hell_n we_o ascend_v to_o heaven_n that_o be_v to_o joy_n to_o glory_n to_o bliss_n to_o our_o father_n to_o our_o saviour_n to_o our_o comforter_n to_o angel_n to_o saint_n to_o eternal_a life_n therefore_o good_a cause_n have_v paul_n to_o desire_v to_o be_v with_o christ_n that_o he_o may_v be_v at_o rest_n for_o no_o doubt_n it_o be_v the_o sweet_a voice_n that_o ever_o the_o thief_n hear_v in_o this_o life_n when_o christ_n say_v unto_o he_o this_o day_n shall_v thou_o be_v with_o i_o in_o paradise_n luke_n 23._o chap_a vers_fw-la 45._o beside_o as_o paul_n persecute_v before_o so_o he_o be_v after_o persecute_v himself_o as_o he_o tell_v the_o corinthian_n 2._o cor._n 11._o 24._o i_o be_v thrice_o beat_v with_o rod_n i_o be_v once_o stone_v i_o suffer_v thrice_o shipwreck_n etc._n etc._n therefore_o good_a cause_n have_v paul_n to_o desire_v to_o be_v with_o christ_n that_o he_o may_v be_v out_o of_o trouble_n yet_o he_o will_v not_o dissolve_v himself_o but_o desire_v to_o be_v dissolve_v that_o be_v that_o he_o which_o bring_v he_o into_o this_o world_n will_v take_v he_o out_o of_o the_o world_n neither_o do_v he_o wish_v or_o pray_v or_o make_v any_o petition_n to_o god_n to_o take_v away_o his_o life_n but_o tell_v he_o his_o desire_n desire_v to_o be_v dissolve_v to_o desire_n be_v not_o to_o pray_v but_o show_v what_o we_o approve_v neither_o do_v he_o desire_v so_o to_o be_v dissolve_v as_o though_o he_o be_v weary_a of_o his_o labour_n &_o will_v suffer_v no_o more_o for_o christ_n but_o he_o be_v content_a to_o live_v as_o he_o say_v in_o the_o 24._o vers_fw-la nevertheless_o for_o i_o to_o abide_v in_o the_o flesh_n be_v better_a for_o you_o as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v to_o do_v you_o good_a i_o be_o content_a to_o suffer_v evil_a and_o stay_v still_o from_o christ_n who_o i_o long_o to_o be_v with_o see_v then_o that_o he_o will_v not_o dissolve_v himself_o nor_o pray_v to_o be_v dissolve_v but_o be_v content_a to_o live_v still_o why_o do_v he_o say_v i_o desire_v to_o be_v dissolve_v only_o to_o show_v what_o he_o prefer_v in_o his_o desire_n if_o he_o may_v choose_v life_n or_o death_n for_o his_o own_o respect_n he_o can_v be_v content_a to_o leave_v friend_n and_o riches_n and_o pleasure_n and_o life_n and_o all_o only_o to_o be_v with_o christ_n this_o seem_v to_o be_v a_o good_a lesson_n for_o sickeman_n when_o they_o can_v live_v no_o long_o then_o to_o be_v with_o christ_n be_v better_o then_o to_o be_v with_o the_o glutton_n which_o never_o think_v of_o heaven_n till_o he_o be_v in_o hell_n 16._o but_o paul_n be_v not_o sick_a nor_o sore_a when_o he_o desire_v to_o be_v dissolve_v therefore_o this_o be_v not_o only_o for_o the_o sick_a but_o for_o the_o whole_a if_o he_o have_v wish_v to_o live_v &_o stay_v still_o in_o the_o world_n no_o man_n need_v to_o be_v teach_v to_o say_v after_o he_o for_o young_a &_o old_a desire_v not_o to_o be_v dissolve_v but_o few_o be_v content_a to_o be_v dissolve_v to_o a_o natural_a man_n in_o this_o life_n nothing_o be_v so_o sweet_a as_o life_n itself_o and_o he_o which_o be_v in_o love_n with_o this_o world_n seldom_o die_v quiet_o upon_o his_o bed_n but_o to_o a_o mind_n which_o mislike_v this_o world_n nothing_o can_v come_v so_o welcome_a as_o death_n because_o it_o take_v he_o out_o of_o the_o world_n this_o it_o be_v which_o paul_n will_v have_v we_o learn_v that_o nothing_o in_o this_o world_n be_v so_o precious_a or_o pleasant_a that_o for_o it_o we_o shall_v desire_v to_o live_v or_o stay_v from_o god_n one_o hour_n though_o all_o may_v not_o wish_v to_o die_v yet_o all_o must_v subscribe_v to_o this_o that_o death_n be_v better_a than_o life_n because_o it_o lead_v to_o christ_n which_o when_o paul_n have_v through_o taste_v he_o be_v satisfy_v for_o all_o thing_n else_o and_o desire_v to_o live_v no_o long_o that_o he_o may_v be_v with_o christ_n herein_o appear_v the_o end_n of_o man_n life_n which_o when_o he_o have_v obtain_v he_o desire_v to_o live_v no_o long_o how_o great_a riches_n and_o honour_n and_o friend_n soever_o he_o leave_v behind_o he_o from_o the_o time_n he_o know_v christ_n crucify_v 22._o and_o begin_v like_o enoch_n to_o walk_v with_o god_n he_o cry_v ever_o after_o with_o the_o apostle_n 24._o i_o desire_v to_o be_v dissolve_v and_o to_o be_v with_o christ_n who_o shall_v deliver_v i_o from_o this_o body_n of_o sin_n death_n wear_v to_o i_o advantage_n even_o as_o simeon_n rejoice_v that_o christ_n come_v to_o he_o 28._o so_o the_o faithful_a rejoice_n that_o they_o shall_v go_v to_o christ_n the_o necessity_n of_o sin_n be_v so_o irksome_a to_o he_o which_o know_v the_o vileness_n of_o sin_n that_o the_o faithful_a man_n but_o to_o do_v good_a will_v not_o live_v
day_n it_o will_v have_v trouble_v they_o to_o watch_v so_o long_o for_o a_o good_a cause_n but_o it_o be_v fit_a that_o the_o work_n of_o darkness_n shall_v be_v do_v in_o draknes_n &_o therefore_o christ_n say_v this_o be_v the_o hour_n of_o darkness_n 53._o the_o hour_n of_o darkness_n and_o the_o power_n of_o darkness_n and_o the_o work_n of_o darkness_n meet_v together_o when_o they_o shall_v rest_v malice_n will_v not_o suffer_v they_o to_o rest_n but_o they_o become_v like_o owl_n which_o watch_v in_o the_o night_n and_o can_v sleep_v here_o be_v fulfil_v salomon_n say_v 36._o they_o can_v sleep_v before_o they_o have_v do_v evil_a so_o eager_a we_o be_v upon_o revenge_n more_o than_o any_o thing_n else_o they_o say_v that_o he_o can_v stay_v which_o ride_v upon_o the_o devil_n for_o malice_n draw_v he_o and_o fury_n spur_v he_o therefore_o zacheus_n go_v not_o so_o hasty_o to_o receive_v christ_n as_o his_o enemy_n haste_n to_o destroy_v he_o nay_o rather_o i_o may_v say_v to_o destroy_v themselves_o for_o as_o they_o pray_v at_o christ_n death_n so_o it_o come_v upon_o they_o they_o say_v his_o blood_n be_v upon_o we_o and_o upon_o our_o child_n 29_o so_o his_o blood_n be_v upon_o they_o and_o upon_o their_o child_n which_o have_v be_v vagabond_n over_o the_o earth_n ever_o since_o and_o have_v no_o country_n of_o their_o own_o for_o if_o they_o be_v

as_o they_o be_v in_o execute_v malice_n so_o many_o man_n shall_v not_o be_v undo_v by_o suit_n of_o law_n for_o in_o one_o day_n they_o can_v apprehend_v &_o accuse_v and_o examine_v and_o condemn_v and_o execute_v he_o which_o be_v innocent_a but_o he_o which_o be_v just_a can_v be_v quit_v in_o one_o term_n nor_o two_o nay_o if_o he_o have_v right_a in_o a_o year_n it_o be_v count_v quick_a

their_o client_n in_o suspense_n from_o day_n to_o day_n and_o from_o week_n to_o week_n in_o great_a charge_n and_o sin_n together_o i_o will_v to_o god_n that_o some_o do_v not_o sit_v in_o counsel_n against_o good_a christian_n as_o these_o priest_n do_v against_o christ_n but_o god_n in_o his_o mercy_n do_v daily_o confound_v and_o bring_v to_o nothing_o the_o accurse_a counsel_n of_o

such_o like_a assembly_n as_o this_o for_o now_o they_o be_v meet_v together_o they_o have_v conspire_v among_o themselves_o to_o accuse_v unto_o the_o governor_n the_o most_o innocent_a man_n in_o

show_v that_o they_o will_v have_v kill_v he_o too_o if_o they_o dare_v without_o the_o governor_n but_o sin_n be_v crafty_a and_o therefore_o they_o observe_v the_o order_n of_o law_n and_o form_n of_o judgement_n lest_o they_o shall_v be_v take_v in_o the_o snare_n which_o they_o make_v for_o he_o first_o because_o pilate_n have_v the_o authority_n over_o judgement_n of_o death_n and_o not_o

any_o thing_n upon_o the_o magistrate_n office_n then_o because_o they_o may_v not_o run_v unto_o the_o governor_n before_o day_n without_o suspicion_n of_o tumult_n they_o stay_v until_o it_o be_v

to_o flock_v unto_o the_o judge_n against_o he_o this_o they_o do_v without_o knowledge_n but_o god_n direct_v every_o thing_n unto_o a_o right_a end_n for_o it_o be_v meet_v that_o the_o son_n of_o

seven_o and_o twenty_o chapter_n and_o four_o and_o twenty_o verse_n of_o saint_n mathewes_n gospel_n pilate_n say_v that_o he_o find_v no_o evil_n in_o he_o before_o he_o give_v sentence_n against_o
