soldier_n also_o be_v at_o hand_n ready_a to_o gratify_v the_o jew_n they_o break_v the_o leg_n of_o the_o thief_n hang_v on_o the_o cross_n and_o be_v about_o to_o strike_v the_o body_n of_o christ_n

christ_n side_n when_o he_o die_v upon_o the_o cross_n therefore_o it_o be_v say_v here_o that_o when_o christ_n side_n be_v pierce_v present_o there_o come_v forth_o blood_n and_o water_n which_o outflowing_a be_v both_o very_a miraculous_a and_o mysterious_a for_o we_o be_v redeem_a by_o blood_n and_o with_o water_n be_v we_o wash_v so_o that_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n be_v both_o our_o redemption_n and_o purification_n and_o it_o be_v observable_a that_o neither_o only_a blood_n nor_o only_a water_n come_v forth_o for_o without_o blood_n water_n can_v do_v nothing_o nor_o have_v our_o redemption_n stand_v we_o in_o such_o stead_n if_o we_o shall_v have_v be_v and_o continue_v as_o bad_a as_o we_o be_v before_o and_o not_o be_v cleanse_v withal_o wherefore_o that_o there_o

therefore_o blood_n and_o water_n be_v the_o two_o undoubted_a object_n of_o our_o faith_n and_o sacrament_n of_o the_o church_n mass_n the_o mass_n to_o wit_n the_o supper_n and_o baptism_n the_o

two_o blood_n and_o water_n signify_v that_o both_o life_n and_o comfort_n flow_v to_o we_o out_o of_o the_o passion_n of_o christ_n the_o life_n be_v in_o the_o blood_n and_o water_n in_o the_o

not_o perceive_v and_o feel_v he_o act_v the_o part_n of_o a_o pure_a man_n it_o be_v true_o and_o overmuch_o a_o humane_a voice_n proceed_v from_o humane_a affection_n so_o to_o complain_v why_o god_n shall_v forsake_v he_o and_o why_o he_o shall_v suffer_v wicked_a man_n to_o do_v so_o much_o so_o david_n i_o be_v envious_a at_o the_o foolish_a when_o i_o see_v the_o prosperity_n of_o the_o

let_v every_o one_o think_v with_o himself_o that_o flesh_n and_o blood_n do_v here_o true_o hang_v on_o the_o cross_n in_o the_o form_n of_o a_o servant_n phil._n 2._o these_o thing_n be_v try_v

cheerful_a body_n shall_v rise_v out_o of_o the_o sepulchre_n so_o than_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o christ_n as_o he_o be_v gird_v with_o great_a gladness_n so_o he_o be_v also_o composs_v with_o extreme_a sorrow_n and_o as_o he_o be_v endow_v with_o the_o high_a truth_n so_o he_o be_v beset_v with_o the_o deep_a and_o low_a infirmity_n and_o as_o he_o spend_v his_o life_n in_o the_o great_a

so_o the_o judgement_n of_o god_n be_v too_o loud_a for_o our_o mind_n and_o heart_n to_o endure_v and_o too_o heavy_a for_o our_o humane_a strength_n to_o undergo_v and_o therefore_o it_o force_v a_o
