of_o the_o former_a whereof_o we_o have_v already_o consider_v from_o the_o testimony_n of_o the_o holy_a evangelist_n namely_o for_o that_o he_o be_v to_o prove_v the_o article_n of_o the_o

and_o first_o touch_v the_o nine_o appearance_n see_v it_o be_v confirm_v unto_o we_o by_o so_o great_a a_o cloud_n of_o witness_n that_o be_v of_o more_o than_o five_o hundred_o who_o at_o one_o and_o the_o same_o time_n be_v together_o see_v our_o saviour_n after_o he_o be_v rise_v and_o know_v that_o it_o be_v very_o he_o yea_o they_o be_v such_o as_o be_v brethren_n that_o be_v disciple_n of_o christ_n even_o such_o as_o be_v desirous_a to_o know_v the_o truth_n thereof_o and_o be_v not_o such_o as_o see_v a_o thing_n which_o they_o regard_v not_o whether_o they_o see_v it_o or_o no_o and_o the_o rather_o also_o because_o at_o the_o time_n wherein_o the_o apostle_n write_v his_o ep_n to_o the_o cor_n though_o some_o of_o those_o brethren_n be_v asleep_a that_o be_v depart_v this_o

whosoever_o upon_o so_o plentiful_a proof_n as_o the_o lord_n have_v vouchsafe_v we_o will_v not_o firm_o believe_v that_o our_o saviour_n have_v manifest_o show_v himself_o to_o be_v rise_v

at_o all_o though_o a_o present_a mind_v of_o all_o thing_n do_v not_o always_o meet_v in_o prayer_n to_o the_o dispose_n of_o thing_n in_o set_a order_n and_o as_o touch_v that_o which_o christ_n say_v in_o mark_n that_o all_o thing_n be_v possible_a with_o god_n it_o tend_v not_o to_o this_o end_n that_o he_o shall_v set_v his_o power_n and_o the_o unchangeablenes_n of_o his_o truth_n and_o

power_n of_o god_n under_o the_o name_n of_o the_o pot_n or_o cup_n it_o be_v say_v elsewhere_o that_o the_o providence_n of_o god_n be_v mean_v which_o dispose_v to_o every_o one_o his_o measure_n of_o the_o cross_n and_o affliction_n like_v as_o the_o father_n of_o the_o family_n do_v appoint_v every_o servant_n his_o allowance_n and_o distribute_v to_o every_o child_n his_o portion_n and_o in_o these_o word_n nevertheless_o not_o as_o i_o will_v we_o see_v how_o christ_n immediate_o even_o from_o the_o first_o beginning_n do_v moderate_v his_o affection_n and_o keep_v himself_o in_o very_o good_a order_n but_o here_o it_o may_v first_o be_v ask_v how_o his_o will_n can_v be_v pure_a from_o all_o fault_n see_v it_o do_v not_o agree_v with_o the_o will_n of_o god_n for_o insomuch_o as_o the_o will_n of_o god_n be_v the_o only_a rule_n of_o that_o which_o be_v good_a and_o equal_a it_o follow_v that_o all_o affection_n be_v faulty_a which_o do_v dissent_v from_o it_o i_o answer_v that_o albeit_o this_o be_v the_o true_a uprightenes_n to_o frame_v all_o our_o affection_n according_a to_o god_n will_v yet_o there_o be_v a_o certain_a indirect_a dislent_a in_o appearance_n which_o deserve_v not_o blame_v nor_o be_v to_o be_v account_v for_o a_o sin_n as_o put_v the_o case_n a_o man_n desire_v the_o peaceable_a and_o prosperous_a estate_n of_o the_o church_n he_o wish_v that_o the_o child_n of_o god_n be_v deliver_v out_o of_o their_o distress_n that_o all_o superstition_n be_v utter_o take_v away_o that_o the_o rage_n of_o the_o wicked_a may_v be_v so_o restrain_v that_o they_o shall_v be_v able_a to_o do_v no_o hurt_n at_o all_o these_o thing_n insomuch_o as_o in_o themselves_o they_o be_v right_a and_o good_a the_o faithful_a may_v lawful_o desire_v they_o though_o it_o be_v the_o pleasure_n of_o god_n to_o dispose_v otherwise_o who_o will_v have_v his_o son_n reign_v among_o his_o enemy_n his_o child_n to_o be_v exercise_v under_o the_o cross_n the_o victory_n of_o their_o faith_n and_o of_o the_o gospel_n to_o be_v make_v the_o more_o glorious_a by_o reason_n of_o the_o contrary_a crafty_a devise_n of_o satâ—n_n we_o see_v then_o how_o these_o desire_n be_v godly_a though_o in_o appearance_n they_o dissent_v from_o the_o will_n of_o god_n the_o reason_n be_v for_o that_o god_n will_v not_o that_o we_o shall_v always_o exact_o or_o scrupulous_o inquire_v what_o he_o have_v determine_v but_o he_o give_v we_o leave_v to_o ask_v that_o of_o he_o which_o be_v meet_v for_o we_o to_o ask_v so_o far_o as_o we_o be_v able_a to_o discern_v but_o the_o question_n be_v not_o full_o answer_v for_o insomuch_o as_o it_o be_v say_v a_o while_n since_o that_o all_o the_o affection_n of_o christ_n be_v well_o order_v how_o come_v it_o to_o pass_v that_o he_o do_v now_o correct_v himself_o for_o he_o do_v in_o such_o sort_n subdue_v his_o affection_n to_o the_o obedience_n of_o god_n as_o if_o he_o have_v pass_v measure_n before_o certes_o in_o the_o first_o request_n that_o quiet_a moderation_n which_o i_o speak_v of_o be_v not_o so_o evident_a in_o that_o he_o seem_v as_o much_o as_o in_o he_o lie_v to_o withdraw_v himself_o and_o to_o be_v unwilling_a to_o do_v the_o office_n of_o the_o mediator_n i_o answer_v that_o he_o fault_v nothing_o at_o all_o herein_o because_o the_o terror_n of_o death_n be_v sudden_o cast_v upon_o he_o there_o fall_v upon_o he_o therewithal_o such_o a_o astonishment_n that_o he_o can_v not_o but_o all_o other_o thought_n lay_v aside_o betake_v himself_o to_o this_o request_n neither_o be_v it_o necessary_a that_o we_o shall_v curious_o dispute_v here_o whether_o the_o forgetfulness_n of_o our_o salvation_n can_v privy_o creep_v into_o he_o for_o this_o alone_a aught_o to_o satisfy_v we_o that_o at_o the_o time_n when_o he_o break_v forth_o into_o this_o request_n against_o death_n none_o of_o those_o thing_n come_v into_o his_o mind_n which_o will_v hinder_v &_o stop_v the_o same_o now_o if_o any_o man_n shall_v take_v exception_n that_o the_o first_o motion_n be_v not_o so_o well_o order_v as_o be_v meet_v see_v it_o shall_v have_v be_v restrain_v or_o ever_o it_o have_v run_v out_o so_o far_o i_o answer_v that_o we_o can_v perceive_v in_o our_o nature_n as_o it_o be_v corrupt_v such_o a_o ernestnes_n of_o affection_n pilate_n god_n the_o son_n who_o suffer_v under_o pontius_n pilate_n accompany_v with_o such_o moderation_n as_o be_v in_o christ_n but_o we_o be_v to_o give_v this_o honour_n to_o the_o son_n of_o god_n that_o we_o do_v not_o measure_v he_o by_o ourselves_o for_o so_o do_v all_o carnal_a affection_n boil_v in_o we_o that_o they_o do_v easy_o break_v forth_o into_o a_o stubborn_a wilfulness_n or_o at_o the_o least_o they_o have_v some_o
