the_o first_o thing_n we_o have_v to_o speak_v of_o be_v concern_v the_o two_o thief_n that_o be_v crucify_v with_o he_o the_o one_o at_o the_o one_o hand_n and_o the_o other_o at_o the_o other_o

nor_o in_o peter_n who_o deny_v he_o to_o speak_v of_o john_n think_v you_o that_o except_o he_o have_v have_v faith_n that_o ever_o he_o will_v have_v follow_v he_o to_o the_o cross_n and_o except_o he_o have_v believe_v that_o jesus_n after_o such_o a_o death_n shall_v have_v rise_v again_o in_o glory_n except_o he_o have_v look_v for_o a_o glorious_a resurrection_n that_o ever_o he_o can_v have_v behold_v such_o a_o miserable_a spectacle_n faith_n give_v he_o boldness_n to_o follow_v christ_n to_o the_o cross_n hope_v furnish_v he_o comfort_n when_o he_o behold_v he_o in_o ignominy_n and_o pain_n these_o three_o woman_n utter_v a_o tender_a and_o love_a heart_n towards_o he_o brethren_n if_o there_o have_v be_v no_o more_o but_o this_o natural_a love_n that_o a_o mother_n bear_v to_o the_o son_n marie_n will_v never_o have_v follow_v her_o son_n to_o such_o a_o vile_a death_n if_o she_o have_v not_o believe_v that_o death_n shall_v have_v turn_v into_o such_o a_o glorious_a life_n will_v she_o have_v stand_v beside_o her_o son_n and_o see_v he_o tear_v and_o rend_v quick_a in_o such_o torment_n what_o mother_n will_v have_v do_v it_o 1._o thess_n 4.13_o you_o read_v what_o paul_n write_v to_o they_o i_o will_v not_o have_v you_o ignorant_a that_o you_o mourn_v not_o for_o they_o which_o be_v asleep_a as_o the_o gentile_n who_o be_v desperate_a in_o their_o

thou_o &_o a_o desperate_a displeasure_n that_o be_v if_o with_o that_o love_n thou_o have_v no_o hope_n of_o a_o glorious_a resurrection_n desperate_a shall_v be_v thy_o dolour_n and_o it_o be_v better_o for_o thou_o to_o want_v thy_o natural_a affection_n indeed_o it_o be_v true_a our_o faith_n and_o hope_v of_o glory_n after_o this_o life_n will_v not_o extinguish_v the_o natural_a love_n neither_o put_v it_o away_o the_o dolour_n that_o one_o shall_v have_v i_o desire_v not_o that_o a_o man_n shall_v be_v senseless_a without_o love_n and_o i_o count_v more_o of_o a_o stone_n than_o of_o one_o without_o love_n and_o better_a be_v it_o that_o that_o person_n be_v a_o stone_n so_o i_o say_v faith_n and_o hope_n will_v not_o extinguish_v displeasure_n but_o it_o will_v mitigate_v it_o so_o that_o in_o a_o wonderful_a heaviness_n it_o will_v find_v joy_n and_o thou_o will_v say_v albeit_o we_o sunder_v now_o the_o day_n will_v come_v wherein_o we_o shall_v have_v a_o joyful_a meeting_n come_v yet_o to_o these_o woman_n they_o may_v teach_v all_o man_n and_o woman_n to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n think_v you_o not_o that_o they_o shall_v have_v be_v terrify_v at_o such_o a_o cross_n and_o that_o marie_n shall_v have_v think_v shame_n of_o her_o son_n so_o shameful_o torment_v and_o rail_v out_o on_o by_o all_o man_n well_o then_o if_o these_o woman_n by_o the_o sight_n of_o that_o shameful_a death_n of_o jesus_n christ_n on_o the_o cross_n be_v not_o terrify_v nor_o divert_v from_o follow_v albeit_o they_o see_v his_o glory_n to_o come_v but_o very_o

fie_o on_o all_o man_n and_o woman_n after_o these_o woman_n who_o will_v think_v shame_n of_o the_o cross_n of_o christ_n albeit_o they_o have_v great_a presence_n and_o sight_n of_o the_o glory_n of_o jesus_n christ_n than_o these_o woman_n have_v shall_v a_o silly_a word_n shall_v the_o sword_n shall_v the_o fire_n terrify_v thou_o and_o if_o it_o be_v so_o these_o same_o woman_n shall_v stand_v up_o and_o condemn_v thou_o in_o that_o great_a day_n now_o let_v we_o consider_v these_o word_n whereby_o he_o recommend_v his_o mother_n to_o john_n the_o lord_n as_o he_o be_v look_v from_o he_o he_o see_v these_o four_o stand_v together_o for_o wicked_a scorner_n stand_v together_o so_o the_o godly_a who_o mourn_n for_o christ_n draw_v together_o and_o he_o direct_v his_o speech_n to_o two_o of_o they_o first_o to_z marry_o and_o next_o to_o john_n woman_n he_o say_v behold_v thy_o son_n point_v to_o john_n not_o to_o himself_o this_o stile_n that_o he_o give_v she_o will_v not_o be_v pass_v by_o he_o call_v she_o not_o mother_n but_o woman_n and_o this_o be_v the_o common_a stile_n which_o jesus_n give_v she_o whilst_o as_o he_o be_v in_o the_o world_n it_o let_v we_o see_v whilst_o jesus_n be_v in_o the_o world_n as_o at_o all_o time_n so_o especial_o at_o the_o hour_n of_o death_n whilst_o he_o be_v live_v in_o the_o world_n he_o have_v his_o eye_n raise_v up_o from_o all_o earthly_a and_o carnal_a thing_n which_o man_n in_o this_o life_n count_v much_o of_o as_o be_v mother_n son_n daughter_n husband_n wife_n kindred_n country_n and_o by_o his_o example_n he_o will_v teach_v we_o when_o we_o be_v here_o to_o know_v none_o according_a to_o the_o flesh_n no_o not_o christ_n himself_o for_o in_o heaven_n there_o shall_v be_v neither_o father_n nor_o mother_n
