Augugustine Prophêtat nescit quando dicit Domine This was in a prophetike straine by a heauenly Enthousiasme calling him Lord who was Lord indeed who hath vpon his garment and on his thigh a name written King of Kings and Lord of Lords But sure it is no more then thus 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Cyr or Sir write it as you list as if on this manner O my deere and gentle Sir good Gardiner Thou seemest to bee the Keeper of this garden where the loue of my soule was laid where he was interred Petra in petra nouus in Nor was she like to timorous Nicodemus that came to see our Sauiour by night no beameling of heauenly boldnes illustrating his too too darkned soule Nor was she like to Ioseph of Arimathia 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 the Counsellour who secretly for feare of the Iewes begged of Pilate the body of Iesus but she like an heroyke spirit steeled and maled with a manly resolution she feares not death it selfe maugre the breards of all them that may stand in opposition in despite of al affronts Ego illum tollam I will take him away and will neuer basely beg any other helpe but his alone of whom our help standeth in the name of the Lord who hath made both heauen and earth Ego illum tollam Loe here a resolute new S.

Because Mary loued thee ô Lord aboue all therefore shee obtained to bee both seene of thee first to bee called of thee so louingly Mary and to call thee so loyally Rabboni Iesus our gracious Lord speakes to Mary in a passionate straine of affection no obiurgation and chiding as some doe write But as S.
