ashamed_a to_o see_v christ_n come_v to_o such_o a_o end_n they_o be_v full_a of_o unbelief_n though_o christ_n have_v tell_v they_o he_o will_v rise_v again_o they_o can_v not_o believe_v and_o so_o

but_o go_v tell_v my_o brethren_n without_o mention_v any_o thing_n that_o they_o have_v do_v unkind_o what_o be_v the_o reason_n it_o be_v sufficient_a to_o a_o gracious_a soul_n that_o it_o be_v thus_o it_o be_v the_o course_n of_o god_n but_o there_o be_v reason_n to_o give_v satisfaction_n 1_o first_o the_o love_n of_o christ_n to_o a_o poor_a disconsolate_a afflict_a soul_n be_v most_o seasonable_a when_o they_o have_v relapse_v and_o deal_v unkind_o with_o christ_n than_o christ_n not_o only_o forgive_v but_o forget_v all_o nay_o and_o call_v they_o under_o the_o term_n of_o brethren_n which_o be_v more_o seasonable_a than_o forgive_n and_o forget_v oh_o now_o it_o be_v seasonable_a for_o there_o be_v a_o wonderful_a dejection_n of_o spirit_n after_o unkind_a usage_n of_o christ_n in_o a_o soul_n that_o know_v what_o christ_n mean_v it_o be_v as_o a_o shower_n of_o rain_n after_o great_a drought_n it_o fall_v weighty_a upon_o the_o soul_n 2._o second_o the_o freedom_n of_o christ_n love_n most_o appear_v then_o when_o no_o desert_n of_o we_o can_v move_v it_o for_o be_v not_o that_o love_n free_a when_o we_o have_v deal_v unkind_o with_o he_o and_o join_v with_o the_o world_n and_o with_o the_o flesh_n and_o deal_v slippery_o with_o he_o that_o then_o he_o will_v speak_v kind_o to_o we_o and_o make_v love_n to_o we_o lord_n if_o i_o have_v have_v my_o due_n what_o will_v have_v become_v of_o i_o if_o he_o have_v send_v they_o word_n according_a desert_n to_o their_o desert_n he_o may_v have_v say_v go_v tell_v the_o apostate_n base_a people_n that_o have_v deal_v unworthy_o with_o i_o who_o i_o will_v send_v to_o hell_n oh_o no_o but_o tell_v my_o brethren_n his_o free_a love_n appear_v most_o at_o such_o time_n when_o our_o soul_n be_v most_o deject_v 3_o three_o satan_n roar_v then_o most_o then_o he_o most_o of_o all_o show_v his_o horn_n when_o we_o be_v relapse_v oh_o say_v he_o if_o thou_o have_v never_o find_v kindness_n it_o have_v be_v something_o but_o thou_o have_v deal_v unworthy_o that_o have_v have_v so_o many_o favour_n and_o do_v thou_o so_o requite_v the_o lord_n of_o glory_n now_o this_o love_n of_o christ_n do_v exceed_o confound_v satan_n and_o trouble_v his_o plot_n he_o know_v then_o that_o god_n leave_v man_n and_o he_o join_v with_o a_o guilty_a conscience_n and_o a_o guilty_a conscience_n make_v they_o to_o fear_v all_o they_o have_v deserve_v shall_v i_o look_v god_n in_o the_o face_n &_o christ_n in_o the_o face_n when_o i_o have_v use_v god_n they_o thus_o shall_v i_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n and_o join_v with_o god_n people_n now_o satan_n do_v join_v with_o guilt_n of_o conscience_n and_o carry_v it_o further_o and_o when_o god_n see_v they_o deject_v and_o humble_v for_o this_o he_o speak_v more_o comfort_n to_o they_o then_o ever_o before_o there_o be_v none_o of_o we_o all_o i_o can_v except_v none_o but_o have_v need_n of_o this_o have_v we_o deal_v so_o unkind_o with_o christ_n since_o our_o conversion_n have_v not_o we_o deal_v proud_o and_o unkind_o and_o careless_o with_o he_o and_o if_o we_o have_v the_o love_n of_o christ_n in_o our_o breast_n it_o will_v shame_v and_o abash_v we_o now_o if_o we_o have_v join_v with_o a_o temptation_n satan_n will_v say_v will_v you_o go_v to_o god_n and_o to_o prayer_n that_o have_v serve_v god_n thus_o shall_v i_o yield_v to_o this_o temptation_n if_o we_o can_v shame_v ourselves_o and_o say_v lord_n i_o take_v all_o shame_n to_o myself_o i_o have_v deal_v most_o themselves_o unworthy_o with_o thou_o we_o shall_v hear_v a_o voice_n of_o comfort_n present_o and_o therefore_o whatsoever_o our_o condition_n be_v be_v invite_v to_o repentance_n though_o thou_o have_v fall_v and_o fall_v again_o i_o have_v deal_v unkind_o do_v not_o peter_n so_o and_o yet_o go_v tell_v my_o disciple_n and_o tell_v peter_n the_o pope_n will_v have_v he_o head_n of_o the_o church_n i_o be_o sure_a he_o be_v head_n in_o forsake_v of_o christ_n and_o indeed_o christ_n ever_o upbraid_v peter_n with_o forsake_v of_o he_o now_o only_o he_o bid_v he_o feed_v feed_v feed_v that_o he_o 17_o may_v take_v more_o notice_n of_o it_o but_o he_o be_v so_o kind_a that_o he_o never_o cast_v it_o into_o his_o tooth_n obj._n but_o say_v the_o poor_a droop_a soul_n if_o i_o have_v never_o taste_v of_o mercy_n it_o have_v be_v something_o answ_n but_o object_v not_o that_o for_o though_o peter_n offence_n be_v great_a yet_o his_o offence_n be_v great_a and_o though_o thy_o sin_n be_v great_a yet_o if_o thy_o repentance_n and_o humiliation_n be_v answerable_a thou_o shall_v have_v most_o comfort_n of_o all_o and_o therefore_o let_v no_o man_n be_v discourage_v if_o we_o
place_n and_o element_n the_o perfection_n of_o the_o soul_n be_v in_o heaven_n to_o see_v christ_n face_n to_o face_n and_o god_n in_o christ_n heaven_n be_v the_o element_n of_o a_o christian_a it_o be_v his_o proper_a region_n he_o be_v never_o well_o till_o there_o and_o there_o be_v his_o rest_n his_o solace_n and_o contentment_n unsatisfied_a and_o there_o all_o his_o desire_n be_v satiate_v to_o the_o utmost_a till_o we_o be_v in_o heaven_n we_o be_v under_o desire_n for_o we_o be_v under_o imperfection_n all_o the_o while_o we_o be_v in_o imperfection_n we_o be_v in_o a_o uncomfortable_a estate_n and_o while_o we_o be_v so_o we_o be_v not_o as_o we_o will_v be_v and_o therefore_o wheresoever_o any_o be_v partaker_n of_o christ_n resurrection_n they_o mind_v the_o ascension_n as_o present_v where_o any_o grace_n be_v there_o the_o thought_n be_v for_o heaven_n present_o let_v we_o take_v a_o scantling_n of_o our_o disposition_n from_o hence_o there_o be_v many_o that_o think_v it_o good_a to_o be_v here_o always_o they_o never_o think_v of_o ascend_v if_o they_o can_v live_v here_o always_o they_o will_v with_o all_o their_o heart_n but_o it_o be_v not_o so_o with_o a_o christian_a it_o be_v his_o desire_n to_o be_v where_o his_o happiness_n his_o saviour_n his_o god_n and_o father_n be_v where_o his_o country_n and_o inheritance_n be_v and_o therefore_o he_o mind_v ascension_n and_o thing_n to_o come_v when_o any_o thing_n be_v do_v he_o think_v that_o what_o be_v do_v be_v not_o yet_o enough_o simile_n as_o your_o great_a conqueror_n in_o the_o world_n they_o forget_v what_o they_o have_v conquer_v and_o remember_v what_o they_o have_v yet_o to_o do_v so_o christ_n have_v get_v conquest_n over_o death_n he_o think_v now_o of_o ascension_n to_o conquer_v in_o the_o eye_n of_o all_o for_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o to_o conquer_v in_o the_o field_n but_o he_o will_v conquer_v in_o the_o city_n he_o will_v conquer_v to_o

our_o soul_n shall_v be_v fill_v to_o the_o uttermost_a and_o there_o be_v no_o place_n of_o further_a de●ire_n as_o heaven_n be_v the_o place_n to_o satiate_v and_o fill_v all_o the_o corner_n of_o the_o soul_n quest_n but_o how_o shall_v we_o know_v whether_o we_o be_v rise_v with_o christ_n or_o no_o resurrection_n resol_n partly_o we_o may_v know_v it_o by_o our_o former_a course_n christ_n when_o he_o be_v rise_v all_o the_o clothes_n be_v lay_v together_o in_o the_o grave_n he_o leave_v he_o behind_o and_o rose_z with_o a_o earthquake_n there_o be_v a_o commotion_n and_o after_o his_o

therefore_o you_o be_v in_o the_o bond_n of_o the_o devil_n you_o be_v in_o the_o grave_n of_o sin_n there_o be_v no_o rise_n resurrection_n be_v with_o commotion_n there_o be_v a_o earthquake_n when_o christ_n arise_v and_o there_o be_v a_o heart-quake_a when_o the_o soul_n rise_v can_v the_o soul_n rise_v from_o sin_n without_o commotion_n in_o the_o inward_a man_n there_o will_v be_v
