merit_n which_o he_o get_v with_o they_o as_o if_o for_o he_o only_o he_o have_v suffer_v and_o so_o thou_o ought_v to_o consider_v this_o one_o thing_n which_o be_v so_o indeed_o that_o when_o christ_n suffer_v he_o have_v thou_o as_o present_v in_o his_o memory_n as_o if_o thou_o have_v be_v there_o real_o present_a &_o he_o have_v also_o present_a before_o his_o eye_n all_o thy_o sin_n and_o that_o he_o set_v his_o eye_n upon_o thou_o and_o say_v with_o great_a love_n and_o tenderness_n for_o thou_o o_o man_n and_o for_o thy_o sin_n i_o suffer_v this_o and_o i_o suffer_v it_o willing_o for_o thy_o salvation_n and_o remedy_n of_o thy_o soul_n with_o great_a desire_n that_o thou_o profit_v thyself_o by_o it_o and_o know_v certain_o that_o if_o for_o thou_o only_o it_o be_v necessary_a to_o suffer_v all_o this_o and_o much_o more_o i_o love_v thou_o so_o dear_o that_o it_o be_v sufficient_a to_o suffer_v for_o thou_o alone_o and_o this_o be_v so_o it_o be_v most_o just_a that_o every_o one_o take_v to_o himself_o that_o which_o christ_n suffer_v and_o make_v account_n of_o it_o so_o do_v the_o glorious_a apostle_n s._n paul_n when_o he_o say_v i_o live_v in_o the_o say_v of_o christ_n jesus_n who_o love_v i_o and_o die_v for_o i_o §._o four_o for_o why_o 1._o the_o four_o circumstance_n be_v to_o consider_v for_o why_o that_o be_v for_o what_o cause_n our_o savour_n suffer_v all_o this_o the_o precedent_n who_o give_v the_o sentence_n after_o he_o have_v very_o well_o examine_v his_o cause_n do_v affirm_v thrice_o that_o he_o find_v no_o cause_n at_o all_o either_o to_o condemn_v he_o or_o give_v he_o any_o punishment_n and_o indeed_o it_o be_v so_o that_o he_o have_v not_o any_o fault_n for_o he_o be_v most_o innocent_a not_o know_v what_o sin_n 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 and_o mercy_n and_o those_o bowel_n of_o infinite_a charity_n with_o which_o he_o take_v compassion_n of_o the_o misery_n of_o man_n who_o be_v all_o condemn_v to_o eternal_a death_n and_o have_v no_o possibility_n to_o be_v deliver_v from_o this_o sentence_n and_o all_o that_o he_o suffer_v be_v only_o to_o do_v good_a unto_o man_n &_o to_o deliver_v they_o from_o the_o evil_n of_o their_o offence_n and_o from_o eternal_a pain_n which_o they_o deserve_v for_o they_o without_o any_o necessity_n profit_n or_o interest_n of_o his_o part_n 2._o and_o conformable_a to_o this_o you_o must_v consider_v very_o well_o as_o you_o meditate_v any_o thing_n that_o our_o saviour_n suffer_v that_o he_o suffer_v it_o of_o his_o own_o free_a will_n &_o may_v have_v excuse_v it_o if_o he_o will_v and_o he_o will_v not_o but_o suffer_v so_o great_a pain_n and_o torment_n only_o for_o our_o good_a this_o be_v the_o cause_n which_o be_v of_o his_o part_n for_o which_o he_o suffer_v to_o wit_n his_o bounty_n his_o mercy_n his_o charity_n and_o love_n but_o of_o our_o part_n there_o be_v our_o sin_n the_o cause_n of_o his_o suffering_n and_o so_o when_o you_o meditate_v how_o they_o apprehend_v our_o saviour_n accuse_v he_o besett_n he_o spit_v upon_o he_o whip_v and_o scourge_v he_o with_o all_o the_o rest_n consider_v that_o thou_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o all_o that_o and_o that_o they_o be_v thy_o sin_n that_o accuse_v he_o and_o abuse_v he_o and_o give_v testimony_n unto_o the_o process_n that_o he_o may_v be_v judge_v to_o death_n and_o put_v upon_o the_o cross_n §._o v._o of_o who_o the_o five_o circumstance_n be_v to_o consider_v of_o who_o he_o suffer_v that_o be_v who_o be_v they_o that_o inflict_v those_o pain_n upon_o he_o and_o in_o this_o we_o must_v consider_v the_o point_n follow_v 1._o first_o that_o he_o suffer_v of_o his_o own_o choose_a and_o elect_v people_n of_o who_o he_o in_o particular_a be_v lord_n and_o king_n to_o who_o he_o have_v be_v promise_v so_o many_o year_n since_o who_o he_o bring_v out_o of_o captivity_n of_o egypt_n with_o so_o great_a miracle_n and_o prodigious_a wonder_n to_o who_o himself_o give_v the_o law_n write_v with_o his_o finger_n who_o he_o sustain_v forty_o year_n with_o bread_n from_o heaven_n to_o who_o he_o give_v the_o land_n of_o promise_n who_o he_o honour_v so_o much_o as_o to_o take_v flesh_n of_o their_o lineage_n and_o come_v in_o person_n to_o preach_v unto_o they_o and_o teach_v they_o 2._o the_o seçond_n that_o he_o suffer_v of_o they_o to_o who_o he_o have_v do_v so_o great_a good_a and_o give_v so_o many_o benefit_n raise_v their_o dead_a deliver_v their_o possess_a during_o their_o disease_a and_o converse_v amongst_o they_o with_o such_o love_n and_o benevolence_n 3._o 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 so_o great_a be_v their_o hatred_n and_o detestation_n towards_o he_o and_o to_o these_o he_o commit_v himself_o willing_o to_o the_o end_n they_o may_v use_v he_o at_o their_o pleasure_n 4._o the_o four_o that_o he_o suffer_v of_o most_o vile_a &_o base_a vassal_n of_o no_o account_n at_o all_o without_o any_o shame_n measure_n or_o any_o other_o respect_n for_o doubtless_o they_o who_o do_v torment_v he_o be_v the_o public_a executioner_n who_o be_v wont_a to_o punish_v the_o malefactor_n if_o it_o be_v not_o that_o perhaps_o the_o chief_a priest_n do_v commit_v this_o to_o some_o base_a 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 servant_n of_o the_o high_a priest_n and_o so_o we_o may_v think_v other_o be_v also_o who_o torment_v he_o but_o howsoever_o we_o see_v they_o be_v base_a fellow_n and_o slave_n very_o poor_a and_o abject_a for_o they_o part_v his_o poor_a garment_n in_o four_o part_n among_o they_o 5._o the_o five_o that_o our_o bless_a saviour_n suffer_v of_o all_o kind_n of_o people_n gentile_n and_o jew_n of_o great_a and_o small_a of_o the_o principal_a &_o of_o the_o common_a sort_n all_o it_o seem_v concur_v against_o he_o and_o those_o who_o six_o day_n before_o have_v do_v he_o so_o great_a honour_n receive_v he_o with_o palm_n and_o cry_v out_o that_o he_o be_v king_n of_o israël_n now_o they_o persuade_v themselves_o that_o all_o his_o miracle_n be_v devise_n &_o craft_n and_o that_o he_o pretend_v to_o usurp_v the_o kingdom_n and_o now_o they_o desire_v to_o have_v he_o crucify_v and_o that_o the_o thief_n and_o homicide_n barrabas_n shall_v be_v set_v free_a 6._o the_o sixth_o that_o he_o suffer_v of_o his_o own_o disciple_n which_o be_v not_o the_o least_o of_o his_o pain_n to_o see_v that_o the_o disciple_n who_o he_o have_v teach_v so_o long_o and_o bring_v up_o under_o his_o wing_n and_o do_v he_o so_o many_o good_a turn_n shall_v sell_v he_o &_o betray_v he_o to_o his_o enemy_n and_o another_o disciple_n who_o he_o have_v honour_v about_o the_o rest_n make_v he_o head_n of_o the_o church_n that_o he_o shall_v deny_v he_o public_o with_o a_o oath_n and_o that_o all_o the_o rest_n shall_v forsake_v he_o and_o run_v away_o leave_v he_o in_o the_o hand_n of_o his_o enemy_n and_o final_o he_o suffer_v even_o of_o his_o own_o mother_n for_o although_o the_o most_o bless_a virgin_n mary_n have_v no_o fault_n at_o all_o but_o very_o great_a merit_n in_o be_v present_a at_o the_o passion_n of_o her_o son_n yet_o with_o her_o presence_n she_o do_v increase_v great_o his_o grief_n &_o pain_n in_o so_o much_o that_o he_o will_v have_v suffer_v they_o double_a not_o to_o have_v see_v that_o which_o his_o mother_n suffer_v and_o notwithstanding_o he_o will_v pass_v all_o this_o that_o our_o redemption_n may_v be_v more_o copious_a although_o so_o great_o to_o his_o cost_n and_o cost_v of_o his_o most_o bless_a mother_n §._o vi_o how_o the_o sixth_o circumstance_n be_v how_o he_o suffer_v in_o the_o which_o there_o be_v three_o point_n to_o be_v consider_v 1._o the_o first_o that_o he_o suffer_v with_o exceed_a great_a charity_n in_o so_o much_o that_o although_o the_o work_n he_o wrought_v be_v so_o excellent_a and_o great_a and_o so_o excessive_a the_o pain_n he_o suffer_v yet_o we_o must_v rather_o ponder_v the_o manner_n how_o he_o suffer_v they_o than_o what_o he_o suffer_v for_o how_o much_o soever_o it_o be_v he_o suffer_v far_o great_a be_v his_o charity_n by_o the_o which_o he_o be_v prepare_v to_o suffer_v much_o more_o if_o it_o have_v

the_o wisdom_n of_o god_n who_o can_v find_v such_o a_o invention_n and_o remedy_n for_o man_n for_o when_o all_o the_o angel_n shall_v put_v themselves_o to_o consider_v the_o convenience_n of_o it_o they_o will_v never_o cease_v to_o wonder_v and_o every_o passage_n of_o the_o life_n and_o passion_n of_o christ_n and_o all_o that_o he_o have_v do_v for_o man_n have_v so_o many_o thing_n worthy_a of_o admiration_n that_o it_o be_v not_o possible_a to_o reduce_v they_o to_o a_o sum_n but_o leave_v it_o to_o that_o which_o every_o one_o find_v by_o experience_n have_v consider_v they_o with_o attention_n 5._o it_o cause_v also_o admiration_n to_o see_v the_o blindness_n of_o the_o world_n and_o the_o ingratitude_n that_o the_o son_n of_o god_n come_v to_o help_v it_o it_o will_v not_o receive_v he_o but_o lay_v hand_n on_o he_o even_o until_o it_o kill_v he_o the_o hardness_n of_o christian_n who_o after_o they_o have_v faith_n and_o knowledge_n of_o these_o mystery_n they_o be_v so_o little_a grateful_a for_o they_o and_o profit_n themselves_o so_o little_a by_o they_o 6._o the_o excellency_n of_o the_o glory_n of_o heaven_n that_o god_n will_v suffer_v so_o much_o to_o gain_v it_o for_o man_n the_o grievousnes_n of_o sin_n that_o god_n do_v so_o much_o to_o destroy_v it_o the_o rigour_n of_o justice_n since_o so_o he_o punish_v his_o own_o son_n for_o other_o sin_n and_o offence_n the_o greatness_n of_o his_o mercy_n for_o least_o man_n shall_v perish_v he_o take_v their_o sin_n upon_o he_o the_o sharpness_n of_o the_o pain_n of_o hell_n for_o to_o deliver_v man_n from_o all_o this_o the_o son_n of_o god_n suffer_v these_o and_o a_o innumerable_a company_n of_o other_o be_v thing_n which_o do_v cause_n admiration_n in_o the_o consideration_n of_o the_o mystery_n of_o christ_n 7._o and_o the_o manner_n of_o excercise_v this_o affect_n be_v this_o when_o the_o soul_n consider_v these_o or_o such_o like_a thing_n worthy_a of_o consideration_n after_o he_o have_v ponder_v as_o well_o as_o he_o can_v the_o reason_n of_o the_o mysterye_n to_o cause_v admiration_n let_v he_o look_v as_o one_o astomished_a to_o see_v so_o marvellous_a a_o thing_n and_o desire_v to_o have_v more_o light_n and_o clear_a knowledge_n of_o it_o to_o praise_v &_o love_v our_o lord_n more_o worthy_o who_o will_v work_v such_o thing_n and_o to_o cry_v out_o with_o the_o prophet_n say_v o_o lord_n i_o have_v hear_v thy_o word_n and_o be_v astonish_v and_o in_o a_o maze_n o_o lord_n my_o god_n how_o marvellous_a be_v thy_o name_n in_o all_o the_o world_n and_o with_o this_o affect_v to_o break_v into_o the_o praise_n of_o god_n extol_v his_o greatness_n §._o v._o of_o the_o affect_n of_o spiritual_a joy._n joy_n and_o spiritual_a gust_n be_v of_o great_a importance_n to_o conserve_v the_o spirit_n and_o persevere_v in_o virtue_n as_o also_o on_o the_o contrary_a a_o great_a inconueniency_n &_o trouble_v in_o spirit_n be_v too_o much_o sorrow_n and_o inordinate_a grief_n especial_o that_o which_o grow_v of_o temporal_a respect_n and_o also_o the_o vain_a &_o too_o much_o joy_n which_o be_v take_v in_o external_a thing_n be_v hurtful_a to_o the_o

2._o against_o all_o this_o be_v the_o holy_a affect_v of_o joy_n &_o spiritual_a delight_n and_o for_o this_o saint_n have_v commend_v much_o that_o religious_a person_n and_o spiritual_a man_n shall_v procure_v to_o acustome_v themselves_o to_o carry_v great_a joy_n and_o spiritual_a gust_n in_o their_o soul_n which_o make_v a_o man_n more_o compose_v and_o more_o modest_a in_o the_o exterior_a and_o more_o recollect_v in_o the_o interior_a and_o make_v he_o despise_v all_o the_o joy_n of_o temporal_a thing_n and_o endeavour_v to_o do_v exercise_n of_o penance_n and_o mortification_n and_o cast_v out_o from_o his_o soul_n all_o idleness_n &_o sloth_n which_o come_v of_o vicious_a sorrow_n and_o grief_n and_o do_v many_o other_o great_a profit_n 3._o for_o this_o affect_v of_o spiritual_a joy_n be_v to_o be_v exercise_v in_o the_o mystery_n of_o christ_n in_o this_o manner_n first_o in_o those_o mystery_n which_o have_v in_o themselves_o any_o joy_n or_o prosperity_n to_o rejoice_v and_o be_v glad_a at_o his_o content_n and_o all_o his_o glory_n as_o if_o a_o man_n shall_v see_v some_o prosperous_a &_o fortunate_a thing_n happen_v to_o his_o father_n or_o brother_n or_o other_o person_n which_o he_o much_o esteem_v as_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o gospel_n of_o those_o person_n who_o with_o good_a &_o sincere_a intention_n follow_v and_o hear_v our_o saviour_n his_o doctrine_n that_o they_o reioy_v and_o be_v glad_a at_o all_o those_o thing_n which_o they_o see_v he_o do_v with_o glory_n and_o honour_n 4._o so_o the_o soul_n must_v rejoice_v with_o christ_n himself_o to_o see_v the_o feast_n the_o angel_n make_v at_o his_o nativity_n how_o the_o shepherd_n come_v to_o adore_v he_o and_o also_o the_o king_n how_o they_o do_v praise_v he_o and_o glorify_v he_o and_o how_o s._n simeon_n &_o s._n anne_n do_v publish_v his_o greatness_n afterward_o how_o the_o doctor_n admire_v in_o the_o temple_n at_o his_o doctrine_n in_o his_o baptism_n how_o his_o eternal_a father_n do_v honour_n and_o authorise_v he_o in_o the_o desert_n how_o he_o overcom_v the_o devil_n and_o how_o the_o angel_n serve_v he_o and_o in_o all_o the_o time_n of_o

which_o our_o saviour_n suffer_v they_o must_v cause_v sorrow_n in_o we_o and_o passion_n as_o we_o say_v in_o the_o first_o affect_v but_o on_o the_o other_o side_n and_o consider_v in_o another_o manner_n they_o must_v cause_v we_o great_a spiritual_a joy_n for_o the_o respect_n follow_v 6._o first_o consider_v the_o glory_n of_o god_n which_o from_o thence_o arise_v more_o than_o any_o

therefore_o it_o be_v great_a reason_n that_o a_o soul_n receive_v great_a spiritual_a joy_n to_o see_v their_o redeemer_n with_o that_o fortitude_n of_o mind_n to_o overcome_v all_o those_o torment_n with_o that_o invincible_a patience_n to_o withstand_v all_o the_o cruelty_n of_o his_o enemy_n and_o their_o malice_n to_o see_v that_o order_n modesty_n and_o gravity_n amongst_o so_o many_o mock_n
