look_v when_o paul_n be_v accuse_v the_o roman_a governor_n lysias_n felix_n and_o festus_n have_v a_o conscience_n of_o the_o innocence_n of_o paul_n but_o the_o high_a priest_n persecute_v he_o to_o

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

redound_v to_o he_o another_o thing_n we_o see_v in_o their_o example_n that_o which_o the_o apostle_n say_v 1._o cor._n 3.18_o if_o any_o man_n seem_v to_o be_v wise_a in_o this_o world_n let_v he_o be_v a_o fool_n that_o he_o may_v be_v wise_a the_o lord_n in_o this_o do_n will_v have_v his_o disciple_n to_o sit_v down_o in_o the_o school_n of_o woman_n to_o learn_v of_o they_o that_o glorious_a

of_o the_o testimony_n of_o these_o woman_n &_o become_v not_o as_o a_o fool_n albeit_o thou_o were_v never_o so_o wise_a thou_o shall_v never_o get_v a_o part_n of_o the_o resurrection_n of_o jesus_n

to_o the_o grave_n for_o as_o they_o be_v go_v to_o the_o grave_n there_o fall_v out_o say_z matthew_z a_o great_a earthquake_n the_o cause_n be_v note_v for_o as_o they_o be_v go_v to_o the_o grave_n the_o lord_n of_o glory_n send_v a_o angel_n to_o tell_v the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o lord_n to_o these_o woman_n so_o in_o very_a deed_n the_o angel_n be_v a_o witness_n before_o the_o woman_n

the_o lord_n will_v have_v his_o resurrection_n first_o witness_v by_o so_o glorious_a a_o ambassador_n he_o will_v not_o have_v man_n to_o testify_v first_o of_o it_o but_o he_o will_v have_v a_o

than_o they_o can_v give_v to_o it_o well_o if_o the_o preach_n of_o y_fw-fr e_o gospel_n the_o testify_a of_o jesus_n &_o his_o resurrection_n honour_v the_o angel_n shall_v we_o

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

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
