and_o a_o dream_n of_o wife_n as_o john_n peter_n matthew_n and_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o apostle_n do_v for_o none_o of_o they_o will_v believe_v this_o that_o christ_n be_v rise_v we_o will_v think_v that_o there_o be_v some_o great_a folly_n in_o these_o tiding_n i_o will_v tell_v you_o my_o nature_n and_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o best_a man_n or_o woman_n but_o when_o we_o shall_v see_v

now_o i_o see_v it_o be_v true_a indeed_o so_o then_o in_o despite_n of_o all_o natural_a wit_n strive_v to_o get_v a_o hope_n above_o hope_n and_o then_o shall_v thou_o great_o wonder_v at_o that_o

assure_v of_o it_o for_o ever_o but_o to_o go_v forward_o i_o see_v that_o it_o avail_v not_o much_o to_o speak_v to_o a_o sleep_a person_n that_o be_v loadn_v with_o sin_n and_o feel_v it_o not_o that_o be_v the_o worst_a estate_n in_o the_o world_n never_o to_o groan_v under_o this_o mortality_n under_o this_o burden_n of_o death_n they_o can_v never_o say_v with_o the_o apostle_n miserable_a

to_o the_o roman_n the_o first_o chapter_n and_o eighteen_o verse_n the_o wrath_n of_o god_n be_v manifest_a from_o the_o heaven_n against_o all_o the_o unrighteousness_n of_o man_n and_o i_o say_v the_o wrath_n and_o the_o vengeance_n of_o god_n be_v manifest_a upon_o the_o sleep_a sinner_n and_o death_n come_v on_o he_o that_o never_o shall_v have_v a_o end_n but_o paul_n in_o the_o epistle_n to_o the_o roman_n the_o three_o chapter_n and_o the_o twenty_o and_o one_o verse_n he_o come_v on_o with_o other_o tithing_n and_o say_v that_o the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n through_o faith_n in_o

thou_o shall_v be_v free_v of_o that_o burden_n of_o sin_n and_o wrath_n and_o when_o a_o man_n hear_v this_o he_o will_v think_v it_o the_o sweet_a tithing_n that_o ever_o he_o hear_v for_o the_o sinner_n will_v find_v life_n in_o that_o death_n and_o that_o blood_n will_v sprinkle_v his_o conscience_n as_o the_o apostle_n say_v to_o the_o hebrew_n and_o thou_o will_v find_v a_o wonderful_a

his_o soul_n loadn_v with_o sin_n now_o one_o word_n and_o so_o i_o shall_v end_v i_o see_v in_o the_o apostle_n and_o in_o their_o great_a infirmity_n the_o great_a providence_n of_o god_n they_o will_v neither_o believe_v nor_o misbeleeve_v but_o by_o his_o providence_n what_o ever_o be_v their_o part_n in_o it_o the_o work_n be_v good_a &_o of_o a_o good_a purpose_n the_o lord_n will_v not_o have_v they_o to_o believe_v the_o testimony_n of_o the_o first_o company_n nor_o yet_o of_o the_o second_o company_n of_o woman_n no_o no_o he_o will_v not_o have_v they_o to_o believe_v until_o

all_o the_o power_n in_o heaven_n and_o in_o earth_n be_v not_o able_a to_o cause_v he_o to_o die_v if_o he_o have_v please_v to_o have_v live_v but_o to_o come_v to_o this_o text_n when_o he_o have_v

that_o they_o stir_v they_o not_o and_o indeed_o none_o of_o that_o whole_a company_n have_v any_o power_n to_o lift_v up_o their_o hand_n against_o they_o the_o word_n be_v plain_a you_o may_v easy_o perceive_v the_o note_n that_o rise_v of_o this_o it_o be_v a_o marvelous_a thing_n that_o a_o naked_a and_o a_o simple_a man_n who_o be_v base_a than_o the_o king_n of_o glory_n be_v in_o the_o earth_n a_o man_n naked_a without_o armour_n he_o be_v stand_v before_o they_o who_o be_v like_a as_o many_o tyrant_n or_o tiger_n and_o yet_o none_o of_o they_o have_v power_n to_o lay_v hand_n upon_o he_o till_o he_o give_v they_o power_n and_o more_o he_o will_v not_o let_v they_o stir_v he_o till_o he_o make_v a_o condition_n with_o they_o that_o they_o handle_v not_o his_o disciple_n he_o impon_v law_n unto_o they_o and_o without_o this_o law_n that_o they_o meddle_v not_o with_o his_o disciple_n he_o will_v not_o yield_v himself_o unto_o they_o so_o brethren_n this_o be_v to_o let_v you_o see_v first_o that_o divine_a power_n which_o be_v in_o the_o lord_n jesus_n behold_v it_o for_o it_o be_v a_o comfortable_a thing_n for_o christian_n to_o know_v that_o divine_a power_n that_o be_v in_o jesus_n christ_n for_o although_o he_o never_o touch_v one_o of_o they_o yet_o that_o divine_a power_n do_v so_o bind_v fast_o their_o hand_n and_o so_o restrain_v that_o pride_n of_o their_o heart_n that_o they_o have_v no_o power_n once_o to_o move_v against_o he_o next_o behold_v a_o miserable_a senselessenesse_n in_o they_o for_o it_o be_v a_o wonderful_a thing_n that_o they_o can_v perceive_v nor_o feel_v this_o power_n that_o be_v in_o he_o if_o they_o have_v have_v any_o sight_n of_o the_o godhead_n dwell_v in_o he_o bodily_a will_v they_o not_o have_v cease_v from_o such_o a_o wicked_a enterprise_n brethren_n it_o be_v a_o hard_a matter_n for_o any_o man_n or_o woman_n once_o to_o be_v give_v over_o unto_o a_o reprobate_a sense_n and_o to_o be_v strike_v with_o

judgement_n to_o cease_v upon_o thou_o and_o albeit_o he_o will_v strike_v thou_o and_o beat_v thou_o upon_o thy_o back_n thou_o will_v not_o be_v the_o better_a but_o thou_o will_v get_v up_o again_o like_o a_o drunken_a man_n and_o if_o thou_o be_v once_o give_v over_o to_o thy_o own_o self_n it_o be_v as_o sure_a a_o thing_n as_o be_v in_o the_o world_n that_o except_o the_o lord_n let_v thou_o see_v with_o his_o power_n a_o sight_n of_o mercy_n thou_o shall_v ever_o become_v worse_o and_o worse_o and_o except_o the_o face_n of_o jesus_n shine_v into_o thy_o soul_n all_o affliction_n shall_v

endure_v paul_n say_v when_o the_o heart_n be_v convert_v to_o the_o lord_n the_o veil_n be_v take_v away_o 2._o corinth_n 3.16_o without_o conversion_n of_o the_o heart_n to_o the_o face_n of_o

the_o power_n shall_v work_v a_o further_a induration_n in_o thou_o and_o make_v thou_o worse_o to_o go_v forward_o you_o see_v how_o careful_a he_o be_v of_o his_o disciple_n man_n will_v think_v that_o he_o be_v so_o hard_o strait_v &_o so_o near_o the_o death_n shall_v have_v forget_v his_o disciple_n for_o this_o be_v our_o fashion_n but_o the_o lord_n do_v not_o so_o and_o brethren_n this_o be_v a_o true_a note_n and_o token_n of_o a_o true_a shepherd_n he_o will_v forget_v himself_o and_o his_o life_n and_o he_o will_v remember_v his_o flock_n and_o when_o he_o be_v ady_v he_o will_v be_v careful_a of_o his_o flock_n and_o when_o the_o wolf_n be_v worry_v he_o yet_o he_o will_v do_v what_o lie_v in_o he_o that_o his_o flock_n and_o every_o sheep_n thereof_o may_v escape_v and_o he_o will_v give_v his_o life_n for_o the_o safety_n of_o his_o flock_n this_o be_v a_o good_a pastor_n so_o we_o see_v the_o vive_a image_n of_o a_o faithful_a pastor_n in_o the_o lord_n jesus_n he_o will_v give_v his_o life_n for_o his_o sheep_n as_o he_o say_v himself_o he_o be_v but_o a_o hyreling_n that_o will_v not_o for_o the_o love_n of_o his_o sheep_n lie_v down_o his_o life_n and_o this_o be_v the_o thing_n that_o i_o note_v chief_o here_o when_o the_o lord_n become_v weak_a in_o himself_o through_o infirmity_n yea_o voluntary_a infirmity_n he_o need_v not_o to_o be_v

well_o the_o blood_n from_o the_o water_n and_o the_o water_n from_o the_o blood_n i_o see_v here_o something_o above_o nature_n and_o i_o be_o compel_v to_o think_v and_o say_v that_o there_o be_v

according_a to_o this_o law_n they_o affirm_v he_o worthy_a of_o death_n so_o brethren_n what_o ever_o pilate_n can_v do_v or_o say_v to_o mitigate_v and_o to_o assuage_v their_o malice_n speak_v

his_o burial_n after_o his_o death_n and_o passion_n now_o it_o follow_v as_o the_o lord_n shall_v give_v we_o grace_n that_o we_o speak_v of_o his_o glorious_a resurrection_n from_o the_o dead_a in_o speak_v of_o the_o resurrection_n of_o jesus_n christ_n we_o shall_v follow_v out_o the_o whole_a four_o evangelist_n matthew_z in_o his_o last_o chapter_n mark_v in_o his_o last_o chapter_n and_o luke_n in_o his_o last_o chapter_n set_v down_o the_o history_n of_o the_o resurrection_n of_o jesus_n christ_n but_o john_n insist_o more_o large_o than_o the_o rest_n for_o he_o have_v two_o chapter_n of_o the_o history_n of_o the_o resurrection_n then_o to_o come_v to_o the_o purpose_n we_o find_v in_o none_o of_o the_o four_o evangelist_n the_o time_n and_o the_o hour_n when_o the_o lord_n arise_v from_o the_o dead_a preciselie_o note_v we_o find_v not_o the_o manner_n of_o his_o rise_n out_o of_o the_o grave_n we_o find_v no_o mention_n make_v of_o any_o witness_n that_o see_v he_o rise_v out_o of_o the_o grave_n it_o have_v please_v the_o lord_n in_o his_o wisdom_n to_o conceal_v all_o these_o thing_n yet_o it_o be_v certain_a he_o arise_v out_o of_o the_o grave_n in_o the_o morning_n what_o hour_n he_o know_v himself_o in_o the_o morning_n after_o y_fw-es e_fw-es jewish_a sabbath_n which_o be_v the_o beginning_n of_o the_o third_o day_n after_o his_o burial_n for_o the_o jew_n count_v their_o day_n from_o even_o till_o even_o so_o the_o three_o day_n begin_v at_o evening_n as_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o the_o lord_n arise_v out_o of_o the_o grave_n in_o the_o night_n so_o we_o find_v in_o the_o four_o evangelist_n that_o when_o he_o be_v rise_v he_o testify_v a_o little_a after_o his_o glorious_a resurrection_n by_o many_o witness_n and_o first_o of_o all_o the_o emptiness_n and_o roomnesse_n of_o the_o grave_n testify_v th●s_a resurrection_n marry_o magdalene_n and_o the_o other_o marry_o and_o salome_n testify_v of_o it_o the_o angel_n of_o

witness_v his_o resurrection_n by_o his_o own_o appear_v unto_o they_o to_o come_v to_o the_o text_n that_o we_o have_v read_v we_o have_v first_o of_o all_o out_o of_o the_o gospel_n of_o mark_n note_v the_o occasion_n how_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o these_o woman_n be_v make_v witness_n to_o the_o resurrection_n of_o jesus_n christ_n next_o we_o have_v the_o come_n of_o these_o holy_a

some_o thing_n that_o fall_v out_o while_o the_o woman_n be_v come_v to_o the_o grave_n there_o fall_v out_o a_o great_a earthquake_n because_o their_o be_v a_o glorious_a angel_n come_v from_o

he_o when_o he_o be_v dead_a in_o y_z e_z grave_n alas_o she_o have_v another_o kind_n of_o love_n to_o he_o than_o we_o have_v now_o but_o now_o albeit_o he_o be_v now_o glorify_v in_o y_z e_z

y_z e_z grave_n of_o who_o we_o have_v these_o four_o thing_n short_o first_o what_o they_o do_v they_o enter_v into_o y_z e_z grave_n of_o y_fw-fr e_o lord_n for_o it_o be_v large_a not_o a_o hole_n sure_o they_o behove_v to_o love_v he_o well_o in_o who_o grave_n they_o go_v next_o when_o they_o enter_v in_o the_o grave_n we_o have_v set_v down_o what_o they_o see_v they_o see_v a_o angel_n in_o the_o shape_n of_o a_o young_a man_n clothe_v in_o a_o fair_a white_a robe_n sit_v in_o the_o grave_n three_o we_o have_v how_o they_o be_v terrify_v and_o last_o we_o have_v the_o speech_n of_o the_o angel_n to_o the_o woman_n then_o first_o come_v to_o the_o grave_n they_o run_v not_o away_o as_o marry_o magdalene_n do_v but_o enter_v in_o the_o grave_n seek_v the_o lord_n and_o in_o this_o point_n they_o go_v beyond_o marie_n she_o go_v back_o but_o they_o go_v forward_o otherwise_o she_o go_v beyond_o they_o for_o love_v zeal_n and_o faith_n in_o christ_n no_o not_o one_o of_o the_o disciple_n surpass_v marie_n magdalene_n in_o love_n faith_n and_o zeal_n yet_o they_o surpass_v she_o in_o this_o point_n and_o as_o they_o excel_v she_o in_o go_v forward_o they_o get_v sure_a information_n of_o the_o resurrection_n of_o jesus_n christ_n for_o their_o reward_n mark_v the_o lesson_n they_o who_o be_v inferior_a in_o spiritual_a grace_n in_o some_o duty_n will_v excel_v they_o who_o be_v superior_a and_o when_o the_o superior_a fall_n back_o they_o will_v go_v forward_o and_o this_o let_v we_o see_v that_o it_o be_v the_o lord_n who_o make_v the_o difference_n have_v thou_o more_o grace_n than_o thy_o companion_n he_o that_o prefer_v thou_o at_o one_o time_n will_v pluck_v his_o hand_n from_o thou_o another_o time_n and_o put_v they_o before_o thou_o and_o to_o this_o end_n that_o thou_o who_o glory_v in_o thy_o grace_n may_v glory_v in_o the_o lord_n for_o thy_o grace_n be_v not_o in_o thyself_o but_o in_o his_o hand_n this_o for_o the_o first_o thing_n follow_v the_o next_o what_o see_v they_o they_o see_v in_o the_o shape_n of_o a_o young_a man_n a_o angel_n clad_v with_o a_o long_a robe_n from_o top_n to_o toe_n i_o take_v this_o angel_n to_o be_v y_z e_z same_o of_o who_o we_o speak_v y_o e_fw-la last_o day_n who_o first_o remove_v away_o the_o stone_n and_o then_o sit_v down_o on_o it_o his_o eye_n burn_v like_o lightning_n and_o clad_v in_o white_a raiment_n now_o this_o angel_n withdraw_v himself_o and_o hide_v he_o in_o the_o grave_n when_o he_o see_v the_o woman_n come_v near_o lest_o he_o shall_v have_v fright_v they_o away_o he_o go_v in_o the_o grave_n but_o he_o sit_v on_o the_o stone_n first_o to_o terrify_v the_o man_n of_o war_n lest_o they_o shall_v trouble_v the_o woman_n &_o beside_o this_o there_o be_v another_o cause_n why_o he_o go_v in_o the_o grave_n be_v to_o testify_v the_o resurrection_n he_o choose_v the_o commodity_n of_o the_o place_n that_o when_o he_o shall_v get_v the_o woman_n in_o the_o grave_n that_o the_o lord_n be_v rise_v in_o the_o grave_n he_o may_v instruct_v they_o better_o by_o the_o emptiness_n and_o roomenesse_n of_o the_o grave_n that_o the_o lord_n be_v rise_v from_o the_o dead_a well_o that_o same_o lord_n that_o terrify_v the_o wicked_a with_o his_o look_n that_o same_o god_n be_v merciful_a to_o his_o own_o and_o that_o angel_n that_o terrify_v the_o man_n of_o war_n he_o be_v a_o minister_n of_o mercy_n to_o the_o godly_a woman_n i_o say_v more_o at_o that_o same_o time_n whilst_o as_o he_o chase_v away_o the_o wicked_a in_o do_v of_o that_o he_o show_v mercy_n to_o the_o godly_a and_o he_o terrify_v the_o wicked_a that_o they_o shall_v not_o be_v a_o stop_n or_o terror_n to_o the_o godly_a all_o the_o terror_n and_o judgement_n of_o the_o wicked_a as_o they_o serve_v to_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n so_o they_o serve_v for_o the_o well_o of_o his_o own_o for_o the_o lord_n have_v not_o only_o his_o own_o glory_n before_o his_o eye_n but_o also_o of_o the_o ●ell_o of_o his_o own_o then_o consider_v again_o the_o circumstance_n of_o the_o place_n wherein_o the_o angel_n teach_v these_o woman_n the_o resurrection_n of_o jesus_n christ_n the_o father_n of_o heaven_n be_v very_o careful_a of_o every_o circumstance_n that_o serve_v for_o the_o testimony_n of_o christ_n resurrection_n first_o he_o be_v careful_a of_o the_o
they_o see_v the_o stone_n away_o fro●_n the_o sepulchre_n as_o the_o first_o do_v and_o they_o enter_v into_o the_o grave_n as_o the_o first_o ●id_v but_o they_o find_v not_o the_o body_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n and_o they_o be_v very_o sad_a and_o heavy_a suppose_v it_o have_v be_v steal_v away_o they_o see_v two_o angel_n who_o they_o suppose_v to_o be_v two_o man_n fearful_a to_o look_v on_o the_o first_o company_n see_v but_o one_o angel_n these_o see_v two_o and_o the_o earthly_a witness_n grow_v in_o number_n so_o the_o heavenly_a grow_v there_o be_v but_o one_o angel_n only_o who_o appear_v to_o the_o first_o company_n now_o this_o company_n see_v two_o angel_n and_o all_o this_o be_v for_o the_o great_a certainty_n of_o the_o matter_n and_o resurrection_n of_o jesus_n christ_n they_o see_v two_o angel_n be_v afraid_a therefore_o the_o angel_n begin_v and_o comfort_v the_o woman_n by_o tell_v that_o christ_n be_v rise_v and_o bid_v they_o go_v tell_v the_o apostle_n now_o we_o shall_v mark_v something_o of_o the_o part_n of_o the_o woman_n and_o then_o we_o shall_v come_v to_o the_o part_n of_o the_o angel_n as_o this_o carefulness_n of_o the_o lord_n that_o be_v in_o these_o woman_n be_v worthy_a of_o praise_n so_o the_o apostle_n carelessness_n of_o their_o lord_n can_v be_v praise_v for_o it_o become_v they_o to_o have_v come_v out_o first_o &_o as_o the_o couragiousnesse_n of_o these_o woman_n be_v to_o be_v commend_v so_o the_o apostle_n cowardness_n merit_v no_o commendation_n and_o the_o more_o woman_n testify_v of_o his_o resurrection_n that_o same_o bring_v the_o great_a sh●●c_n to_o the_o apostle_n when_o thou_o be_v a_o man_n and_o have_v a_o calling_n and_o wil●_n let_v a_o wife_n go_v before_o thou_o it_o shame_v thou_o and_o no_o doubt_n the_o force_n of_o his_o resurrection_n be_v more_o powerful_a in_o the_o poor_a woman_n than_o it_o be_v in_o the_o very_a apostle_n for_o all_o this_o spiritual_a courage_n flow_v from_o the_o life_n of_o christ_n for_o except_o he_o have_v rise_v from_o the_o death_n and_o that_o we_o get_v life_n through_o his_o life_n we_o will_v never_o have_v life_n yea_o all_o the_o spiritual_a life_n and_o quickness_n that_o be_v in_o the_o father_n of_o old_a be_v by_o the_o virtue_n of_o christ_n resurrection_n to_o come_v and_o all_o this_o quickness_n of_o we_o be_v by_o the_o virtue_n of_o his_o resurrection_n already_o past_a if_o thou_o have_v that_o life_n begin_v it_o shall_v be_v a_o sure_a earnestpennie_n that_o thou_o shall_v rise_v in_o glory_n and_o live_v a_o life_n like_v to_o the_o glorious_a life_n of_o thy_o glorious_a head_n and_o saviour_n jesus_n christ_n then_o i_o mark_v another_o thing_n in_o these_o woman_n they_o be_v subject_a to_o diverse_a perturbation_n of_o mind_n they_o come_v out_o with_o sadness_n and_o when_o they_o find_v not_o the_o body_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n their_o dolour_n be_v increase_v then_o when_o they_o see_v and_o hear_v the_o angel_n they_o be_v terrify_v and_o last_o of_o all_o they_o find_v joy_n will_v thou_o compare_v the_o godly_a with_o the_o ungodlie_a you_o shall_v find_v sometime_o in_o the_o heart_n of_o the_o ungodly_a great_a peace_n than_o in_o the_o heart_n of_o the_o godly_a no_o pain_n nor_o vexation_n in_o they_o but_o they_o say_v peace_n peace_n as_o the_o apostle_n say_v in_o the_o first_o epistle_n to_o the_o thessalonian_o the_o five_o chapter_n and_o the_o third_o verse_n but_o behold_v the_o end_n when_o they_o have_v cry_v peace_n than_o a_o sudden_a destruction_n from_o the_o heaven_n shall_v overtake_v they_o and_o their_o peace_n shall_v end_v in_o disquietness_n for_o ever_o the_o trouble_n of_o the_o godly_a end_n in_o endless_a joy_n the_o godly_a begin_v in_o sadness_n go_v forward_o in_o sadness_n but_o ever_o in_o the_o end_n they_o find_v joy_n and_o the_o great_a trouble_n thou_o be_v in_o in_o the_o end_n thou_o shall_v find_v great_a joy_n and_o when_o thou_o shall_v attain_v to_o that_o joy_n the_o very_a remembrance_n of_o that_o trouble_n that_o thou_o have_v in_o this_o life_n shall_v augment_v thy_o joy_n and_o thou_o shall_v rejoice_v that_o ever_o thou_o have_v trouble_v here_o if_o thou_o have_v be_v even_o burn_v or_o martyr_v for_o christ_n sake_n and_o by_o the_o contrary_a the_o wicked_a that_o have_v live_v here_o in_o security_n when_o they_o be_v thrust_v in_o hell_n in_o endless_a pain_n and_o displeasure_n shall_v find_v that_o the_o remembrance_n of_o the_o joy_n that_o they_o have_v in_o this_o life_n shall_v

plain_a and_o therefore_o i_o go_v forward_o i_o come_v to_o the_o part_n of_o the_o angel_n the_o first_o speech_n be_v somewhat_o rough_a why_o do_v you_o seek_v the_o live_n among_o the_o dead_a why_o do_v you_o this_o then_o he_o come_v on_o and_o say_v he_o be_v not_o here_o he_o be_v rise_v then_o he_o confirm_v it_o by_o a_o reason_n remember_v woman_n what_o he_o say_v to_o you_o when_o he_o be_v with_o you_o in_o galilee_n say_v he_o not_o that_o he_o behoove_v to_o be_v deliver_v into_o the_o hand_n of_o sinful_a man_n and_o be_v crucify_v and_o to_o rise_v again_o the_o three_o

in_o man_n either_o one_o way_n or_o other_o for_o see_v this_o ministry_n of_o the_o gospel_n which_o from_o the_o apostle_n day_n continue_v and_o shall_v continue_v to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o
