from_o whence_o we_o may_v note_v that_o christ_n suffer_v the_o evil_a of_o affliction_n to_o come_v upon_o his_o servant_n who_o he_o love_v rather_o than_o prevent_v it_o with_o grace_n and_o

pray_v thrice_o and_o this_o he_o do_v for_o diverse_a cause_n both_o to_o manifest_v our_o grace_n and_o his_o glory_n our_o faith_n and_o love_n to_o he_o by_o this_o mean_n will_v express_v themselves_o the_o more_o and_o this_o also_o will_n more_o manifest_a his_o glory_n in_o bring_v down_o to_o hell_n and_o the_o grave_n and_o then_o bring_v again_o to_o life_n if_o christ_n have_v come_v at_o the_o first_o and_o heal_v his_o sickness_n a_o ordinary_a physician_n haply_o can_v have_v do_v as_o much_o but_o though_o he_o tarry_v long_o yet_o at_o last_o he_o come_v and_o show_v the_o gracious_a light_n of_o his_o countenance_n upon_o we_o so_o that_o now_o you_o shall_v hear_v he_o with_o comfortable_a word_n speak_v both_o to_o his_o apostle_n in_o private_a and_o afterward_o to_o the_o sister_n when_o they_o come_v to_o meet_v he_o to_o his_o apostle_n he_o say_v our_o friend_n lazarus_n sleep_v so_o that_o if_o we_o can_v get_v friendship_n with_o christ_n our_o death_n shall_v be_v but_o a_o sleep_n and_o christ_n will_v certain_o awake_v we_o from_o it_o at_o the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o just_a so_o christ_n go_v forward_o to_o the_o house_n of_o

lazarus_n which_o his_o presence_n may_v have_v prevent_v christ_n therefore_o in_o the_o word_n i_o have_v read_v unto_o you_o preach_v a_o comfortable_a sermon_n to_o pacify_v the_o friend_n of_o the_o decease_a that_o they_o shall_v not_o sorrow_n as_o those_o without_o hope_n and_o tell_v martha_n that_o her_o brother_n lazarus_n though_o he_o be_v dead_a shall_v rise_v again_o and_o that_o
