of_o his_o passion_n and_o of_o his_o death_n for_o he_o have_v they_o always_o as_o present_a as_o when_o he_o suffer_v and_o so_o we_o must_v consider_v that_o the_o grief_n of_o his_o whip_n of_o the_o crown_n of_o thorn_n and_o the_o torment_n upon_o the_o cross_n and_o the_o scorn_v of_o his_o passion_n be_v not_o suffer_v by_o he_o be_v the_o four_o nail_n which_o inward_o pass_v through_o

cross_n thou_o must_v consider_v that_o he_o be_v crucify_v all_o the_o day_n of_o his_o life_n &_o so_o thou_o will_v not_o marvel_v at_o what_o be_v write_v of_o he_o that_o he_o be_v never_o see_v to_o laugh_v yea_o it_o be_v a_o thing_n worthy_a of_o great_a consideration_n his_o fortitude_n and_o magnanimity_n that_o have_v his_o soul_n inward_o so_o drown_v and_o run_v through_o with_o so_o many_o sorrow_n and_o grief_n have_v notwithstanding_o courage_n to_o show_v outward_o a_o good_a countenance_n and_o to_o converse_v with_o all_o so_o mild_o &_o with_o so_o great_a affability_n
