our_o comfort_n i_o have_v but_o somewhat_o assay_v to_o play_v john_n baptistes_n part_n i_o be_o not_o he_o of_o who_o you_o must_v receive_v this_o good_a gift_n but_o you_o must_v look_v towards_o a_o other_o therefore_o i_o say_v unto_o you_o of_o he_o who_o shoolatchet_n i_o be_o not_o worthy_a to_o unloose_v behold_v the_o lamb_n of_o god_n who_o bring_v this_o comfort_n with_o he_o a_o

receive_v any_o wound_n in_o the_o head_n the_o whelke_o that_o be_v in_o the_o hand_n the_o corn_n that_o be_v in_o the_o foot_n we_o soon_o forget_v &_o lose_v the_o sense_n thereof_o oh_o consider_v sister_n how_o your_o head_n be_v wound_v then_o shall_v your_o hand_n and_o your_o foot_n the_o less_o grieve_v you_o now_o again_o our_o head_n be_v whole_a triumph_v in_o heaven_n why_o then_o shall_v our_o heart_n be_v heavy_a on_o earth_n as_o though_o the_o head_n have_v forget_v the_o body_n or_o any_o part_n thereof_o no_o sister_n doubt_n you_o not_o he_o will_v not_o suffer_v a_o hear_v to_o perish_v of_o that_o body_n which_o he_o so_o dear_o purchase_v see_v that_o this_o mighty_a michael_n have_v subdue_v our_o archenemy_n 12._o that_o terrible_a dragon_n and_o subtle_a serpent_n with_o his_o petty_a captain_n death_n and_o hell_n what_o shall_v we_o be_v so_o much_o move_v with_o any_o force_n of_o the_o flesh_n or_o any_o mischief_n that_o the_o world_n may_v work_v we_o yea_o here_o also_o your_o saviour_n speak_v comfortable_o unto_o you_o say_v be_v of_o good_a there_o i_o have_v overcome_v the_o world_n see_v that_o he_o have_v break_v the_o head_n of_o our_o enemy_n what_o shall_v his_o tail_n so_o much_o trouble_v we_o see_v he_o have_v take_v away_o our_o sin_n what_o shall_v any_o sorrow_n remain_v amongst_o we_o &_o if_o we_o sorrow_n not_o for_o our_o sin_n why_o do_v we_o lament_v for_o any_o other_o earthly_a trifle_n so_o sister_n if_o your_o eye_n be_v full_o fix_v on_o christ_n your_o redeemer_n see_v his_o pain_n and_o his_o

we_o his_o son_n 8.32_o how_o shall_v he_o not_o with_o he_o give_v we_o all_o thing_n also_o and_o now_o your_o joy_n must_v needs_o be_v full_a as_o s._n john_n say_v say_v not_o then_o you_o be_v

i_o be_o sure_a you_o can_v not_o prove_v so_o fast_o as_o i_o can_v disprove_v you_o will_v say_v i_o be_o a_o abject_a in_o the_o world_n 12._o i_o answer_v the_o more_o meet_a for_o god_n the_o like_a you_o be_v to_o your_o saviour_n so_o say_v the_o apostle_n to_o your_o comfort_n and_o i_o the_o vile_a thing_n of_o the_o world_n thing_n despise_v and_o thing_n of_o nought_o have_v god_n choose_v i_o be_o sad_a and_o pensive_a you_o will_v say_v my_o meat_n do_v i_o no_o good_a i_o enjoy_v not_o the_o world_n but_o these_o be_v no_o argument_n hereby_o to_o conclude_v misery_n for_o even_o the_o holy_a and_o happy_a david_n have_v such_o sugar_n and_o sauce_n to_o his_o meat_n he_o mingle_v his_o bread_n with_o ash_n and_o where_o be_v most_o likelihood_n of_o rest_n his_o bed_n he_o water_v with_o tear_n so_o that_o of_o your_o sorrow_n itself_o you_o may_v receive_v comfort_n because_o that_o short_a worldly_a sorrow_n be_v but_o a_o passage_n unto_o unspeakable_a incredible_a and_o eternal_a joy_n and_o consolation_n our_o saviour_n say_v they_o be_v happy_a that_o lament_v for_o they_o shall_v be_v comfort_v but_o he_o set_v a_o woe_n upon_o those_o that_o laugh_v so_o that_o by_o his_o judgement_n happiness_n and_o heavenly_a happiness_n he_o speak_v of_o come_v rather_o by_o lament_v then_o laugh_v yea_o 21._o god_n himself_o will_v take_v the_o pain_n to_o wipe_v away_o the_o tear_n of_o the_o eye_n of_o such_o as_o shed_v any_o under_o the_o cross_n &_o especial_o in_o the_o cause_n of_o his_o christ_n you_o have_v little_a comfort_n peradventure_o in_o the_o world_n yet_o i_o be_o sure_o more_o than_o lazarus_n in_o his_o penury_n or_o job_n in_o his_o perplexity_n and_o the_o less_o you_o find_v on_o earth_n the_o more_o belike_o you_o shall_v have_v in_o heaven_n you_o know_v the_o answer_n to_o the_o rich_fw-fr man_n in_o the_o parable_n that_o he_o have_v his_o earthly_a pleasure_n for_o his_o portion_n 16.25_o but_o what_o a_o exchange_n make_v lazarus_n even_o eternal_a pleasure_n for_o temporal_a penury_n if_o you_o have_v not_o your_o portion_n with_o the_o rich_fw-fr man_n here_o you_o may_v the_o less_o doubt_n to_o have_v part_n and_o place_n with_o lazarus_n in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n and_o here_o let_v christ_n be_v your_o comforter_n you_o shall_v lament_v say_v he_o but_o the_o
