be_v ashamed_a of_o such_o low_a and_o mean_a employment_n they_o wrap_v christ_n body_n in_o clean_a linen_n for_o so_o it_o become_v this_o pure_a body_n to_o be_v shroud_v which_o be_v so_o clean_o that_o the_o very_a linen_n be_v the_o clean_a for_o it_o they_o add_v also_o ointment_n and_o spice_n which_o the_o jew_n use_v to_o keep_v the_o body_n from_o rot_v and_o this_o show_v that_o those_o two_o have_v yet_o but_o a_o weak_a and_o imperfect_a faith_n for_o they_o have_v no_o high_a thought_n of_o christ_n but_o that_o he_o be_v a_o honest_a and_o innocent_a man_n and_o a_o

it_o do_v christ_n to_o presume_v he_o with_o spice_n when_o he_o be_v dead_a but_o a_o christian_n ought_v not_o to_o say_v this_o cost_n be_v superfluous_a for_o the_o charge_n of_o those_o man_n be_v not_o so_o much_o to_o be_v consider_v as_o their_o faith_n that_o only_o be_v lose_v which_o be_v not_o do_v in_o faith_n but_o here_o be_v nothing_o less_o than_o loss_n it_o be_v rather_o true_o a_o good_a work_n whereby_o those_o two_o declare_v their_o faith_n and_o open_o show_v that_o they_o will_v hazard_v all_o they_o have_v for_o christ_n for_o they_o must_v of_o necessity_n expect_v to_o be_v the_o hatred_n of_o the_o pharisee_n and_o unavoidable_o look_v for_o the_o spoil_n of_o all_o their_o good_n for_o so_o do_v it_o be_v a_o great_a work_n and_o not_o to_o be_v compare_v with_o any_o work_n of_o hypocrite_n for_o hypocrite_n indeed_o be_v at_o great_a expense_n but_o they_o do_v nothing_o out_o of_o faith_n &_o abnegation_n of_o their_o good_n but_o all_o proceed_v from_o impiety_n and_o ambition_n of_o gain_n but_o no_o work_n be_v to_o be_v rate_v or_o value_v according_a to_o the_o costliness_n or_o outward_a show_n of_o it_o but_o according_a to_o the_o faith_n of_o he_o that_o do_v it_o thus_o the_o widow_n in_o the_o gospel_n that_o cast_v in_o she_o two_o mite_n be_v say_v to_o offer_v more_o than_o all_o the_o rest_n because_o she_o do_v
