I will giue vnto mine Euenuches a worthie place in my house within my walkes and a name better than the name of sonnes daughters of Israell I will giue them an eternall name which shall neuer faile VVoman behold thy sonne What name vnder Heauen is comparable vnto this name What name shall endure after this name the Sonne of Marie It. b. Iohn 8. was an honor to be accounted the son of Abraham the son of Israell and happie was hee which coulde bee numbered among them But this name the sonne of Mary none was worthie of but God himselfe the second person in the Trinitie a. Iohn 19 and nowe it is giuen to Iohn by Christ hanging vpon the Crosse for his inheritance whē looking vppon his mother and making signe toward Iohn hee said vnto her VVoman behold thy sonne A name which as it had no greater vnder heauen so did it neuer perish for as Christ dying vpon the Crosse so lest a Sonne with his mother as he himself did not leaue to be her sonne so also shee dying did so ioyne her selfe to her son in heauen as shee left not to be a Mother also vnto him which was in earth that this name might very well bee called a eternall name for whether she were in earth or in heauen aliue or dead her sonne had so prouided it there should bee Maries sonne O blessed Virgin when thou diddest conceaue Saint Iohn a. Iohn 2 thou diddest conceaue him in mirth b. Iohn 19. but thou wert deliuered of him when he was deliuered vnto thee in great sorrow heauines Hee was the first for whose cause at thy request thy Sonne did manifest himselfe vnto the worlde by shewing his power in working miracles and now he is the last the only man committed vnto thee when thy Sonne passeth out of the world by suffering with patience what malice could work against him so that the measure of thy Son his life in this worlde was no more than the time in which thou diddest breed Saint Iohn for when the time was come that Iohn became thy Sonne thou lost thyne other Sonne Nowe that thou shouldest be a comfort vnto others thou hast experience what that saying meaneth a. Gen. 3. thou shalt bring forth in griefe for the ease thou hadst when Christ was borne is with vsurie recompenced at thy deliuerie of Iohn whom with excessiue sorrowe thou broughtest forth thy sonne b. Iohn 16 A woman when she is in trauaile hath sorow because her houre is come but when she hath brought foorth the childe now shee remembreth not the anguish for ioy that a man is borne into the world But thou most blessed Virgin as thou wert priuiledged in this aboue all other women that thou wert deliuered of thy first begotten without any paine so now hast thou this singular aboue any other woman that at thy second trauaile thou feelest as great panges after it as before it Shee ioyeth because a man is borne into the world and thou haste cause to grieue because a man is gone out of the worlde shee is glad because shee hath a sonne and thou haste cause to mourne because thou haste lost a sonne and so much is thy sorrowe more than theyrioy may be as thy sonne exceedeth all other womens sons for although thou wert deliuered of a sonne yet wert thou spoiled of an other such was thy trauaile and with such condition that the birth of thy second son supposed the death of thy first begotten a. Luk. 1 When thou gauest consent vnto the wordes of the Angell God spake the worde and the worde was incarnate the same word vouchsafing to speake vnto thee not by the mouth of an Angell but by himselfe hath said the word and thou haste not only conceaued thy second son but art also deliuered of him VVoman behold thy sonne Behold thy Mother Thus hauing eyther of them charge of other glad they were that neither was willing to depart Saint Iohn feared not hee shuld be forced to leaue his Master in following his charge whē she should goe away neither did our blessed Lady doubt what she might doe if Iohn should parte from thence their life was nayled on the Crosse that they could not stirre from it rather had they stay a. Iohn 19 see him wounded a dolefull sight then not see him at all wherefore neuer satisfied with looking vp vppon him they tarried vntill hee was taken downe whome when his Mother receaued in her Armes sorrow and ioy fought so doubtfull a Combat that it was not to bee iudged which of them was the stronger She had lost him and now she hath founde him againe great cause she hath to ioy he was her hope her help her life She had lost him and now she hath founde him againe great cause she hath to mourne hee is past hope past help and past out of his life What ioy was comparable to that he had when she might speake vnto him embrace him and kisse him as shee was wont to doe But alas what griefe was like to that shee had when hee did neyther answere by worde or behauiour as hee was wont to doe Noe ioy to that shee hadde when shee behelde him againe a. Psal 44. for hee was the moste fayre and beautefull of all the Sonnes of men Noe greefe to that shee had when shee behelde him againe and found that b. Isal 53. neyther any fauour nor comelynesse was in him Shee see his heade swollen with the Crowne of Thornes shee see his face blacke and blew with the buffettes of their fistes shee see his bodye torne from toppe to the toe with whippes or to say more true she neyther see heade face nor any part of his bodie but a masse only of congealed blood which couered all his body beeing most grieuously wounded and in so many places that they altogether seemed one on lie wounde which reached from the crowne of his head vnto the soles of his seete So sate she at the foote of the Crosse with the dead bodie in her lap offering it all bloodie to Almightie God Gen. 37. demaunding of him whether that were not his sonne his coate shewing it also vnto the Angels and asking of them whether that were not their Master his Garment Her self was not able to discerne perfectly whether it were any part of her or no it was so dissigured but that with sorrowe shee had brought her selfe so out of sauor that euerye one which see her might easily iudge hee was her sonne and shee his mother Shee hath founde him againe but because whatsoeuer shee founde shee must forgoe except sorrow sorrow got the victorie in which shee did so much abound as her sonne his sorrowe beeing at an end there was now no sorrowe like vnto hers no comfort would shee admit because he was not They sought no water to wash his blessed body fountains there were enough of hoate and scalding teares wherein they bathed him first then buried him against their willes wishing that either they themselues were his sepulcher or his were theirs When thy dayes were come O full of sorow that thou shuldest be deliuered thou broughtest forth thy first begotten Son thou swadlest him in cloutes Luk. 2. laidst him downe in a maunger because there was no place for thee in the Inne and nowe thy daies were fully come that thou shouldest bee deliuered againe thou broughtest foorth thy second sonne Iohn 19. and in steed of swadling him in cloutes and ioyfull laying him downe and tending him thou art constrained to swaddle thy first begotten Sonne againe and with sorrow to lay him downe in a Monument because no other place but that woulde hee make choice of to lie in The Funeralles beeing ended Saint Iohn doth take possession he leadeth home his sorrowfull Mother giuing her what comfort hee could beeing nowe almost spent with griefe with whome hee continued yeelding vnto her that dutie which became him Iohn 19.
