be_v never_o do_v harm_n to_o any_o but_o good_a to_o all_o so_o that_o the_o cause_n be_v well_o examine_v it_o be_v find_v that_o there_o be_v no_o other_o of_o his_o part_n but_o his_o bounty_n

the_o three_o that_o he_o suffer_v of_o his_o cruel_a enemy_n who_o for_o the_o space_n of_o two_o year_n have_v seek_v his_o life_n and_o to_o dishonour_v he_o &_o will_v have_v drink_v his_o blood_n

servant_n of_o their_o own_o that_o they_o may_v torment_v he_o with_o the_o more_o cruelty_n of_o he_o that_o give_v he_o the_o buffet_n say_v s._n john_n the_o evangelist_n that_o he_o be_v a_o

ordain_v as_o to_o their_o end_n to_o serve_v with_o more_o perfection_n our_o lord_n take_v these_o mean_n to_o bridle_v himself_o from_o sin_n and_o to_o encourage_v himself_o to_o all_o thing_n

first_o to_o conceive_v great_a fear_n of_o judgement_n and_o therefore_o our_o saviour_n will_v signify_v it_o by_o word_n so_o significa●nt_a and_o fearful_a as_o we_o may_v see_v in_o the_o holy_a

before_o it_o the_o be_v of_o god_n judgement_n so_o severe_a the_o judge_n god_n himself_o in_o who_o presence_n the_o angellsare_n not_o guiltless_a and_o from_o who_o nothing_o be_v hide_v the_o sentence_n be_v inrevocable_a not_o to_o call_v back_o again_o by_o any_o mean_n and_o to_o be_v of_o glory_n or_o pain_n eternal_a and_o the_o same_o judge_n be_v the_o part_n offend_v &_o so_o

or_o eternal_a damnation_n no_o man_n in_o the_o world_n will_v be_v so_o inconsiderate_a and_o so_o void_a of_o sense_n who_o will_v not_o take_v heed_n to_o offend_v a_o man_n that_o be_v to_o

which_o he_o be_v so_o much_o offend_v since_o with_o such_o pain_n he_o do_v chastise_v it_o &_o from_o hence_o must_v spring_v another_o affect_v very_o please_v unto_o god_n which_o be_v to_o
