with those most sacred handes which she had so lately seene fastned to the Roode he with such pietie wiped off the trickling tears of her reuerend face then might she saye and that with great cause that sentence of the Prophet Dauid According to the multitude of griefes that my heart hath suffered thy cons●lations haue reioyced my soule Consider then in the best wise thou canst the sweete communication that passed betwixt the blessed mother and the Sonne the the which wel maye we beleue did occasionate no lesse comfort to the mother then did his sight albeit she could vtter but fewe wordes by reason she was wholly rapt in beholding that glorious vision which she had before her eyes and in viewing euery particuler fealtie of that body and that amiable countenance whose brightnes and beautie did so greatlye delite her nowe as did the seing of it blacke and wounded heretofore torment her in the time of his painful passiō In like maner beholding those wounds which in his death had perced her virginal heart with sorowe nowe became so faire and so glittering she was therby replenished with so great a ioye as she remained like one astonished not being able to pronounce scarse any one word Reioyce therfore O Queene of heauen sith thou hast so great causes to reioyce thee Let thy spirite now be glad in God thy Sauiour who hath fully satisfied the lōging desires of thy soule Nowe thou seest him risen vp again whose death thou earst lamentedst Now is winter and the stormes of his persecutions ignominies and tormentes cleane passed ouer now liueth he and death shal haue no more any dominion ouer him Thou seest him nowe farre more exalted then he was before depressed now is he a conquerour of Death of Hel and of the Diuel nowe is neither he to suffer anye more nor thou to haue any further feare Reioyce therfore O Lady and let thy soule receaue solace through his triumph and Resurrection as it was before made sorowful euē almost to death through his painful death and passion IN THE THIRDE point thou maiest in like maner enterteyne thy selfe being a matter of great consolation considering howe our Lorde looke what office he had performed to his most blessed mother and the same vouchsafed he to doo to his Disciples and other deuout seruants wher-with we may wel beleeue that the louing Ladye replenished with charitie was very wel contented yea desired him so to doo sithens like as when he was borne she laide him in a manger signifying thereby that albeit she alone did beare and bring him forth yet would she not haue him for her-selfe alone but for al euē so would she not haue al the ioye of his glorious resurrection to her-selfe alone but would in any wise that others were made partakers thereof Meditate therfore how he first appered to good Mary Magdalen according to the testimonie of the holy Euangelists who went with the other deuout womē to annoint him with pretious oyntments which they caried with thē in the sepulchre where not finding of him albeit her companions went away yet would not she depart sith loue held her fast linked to the place where she had earst left him whom she so dearly loued and remaining there weeping she with a desire she had to finde him dead merited to see him aliue and risen vp albeit in Gardners weede in such sort as she sawe him and knewe him not our Lord aunswering herein to the disposition of her soule for she loued and doubted as he for the same reason appered in pilgrims shew to those two disciples that went to Emaus where thou maiest note how this Lord knoweth at one time how both to comfort instruct and manifest the defects of his elect and how such are best fauoured of him as most feruently doo loue him like as we here see by good Mary Magdalē to whō for her feruent loue sake was this prerogatiue geuen that she might first see her deerlye beloued master and that she might be the messenger to announce the ioye of his Resurrection to those that litle thought therof by reason of the heauines they were in through the remembrance of his death and doleful passion Thinke nowe good Christian think attentiuely what ioy that most denout gentlewoman did feele whē she both sawe and knew her so dearlye beloued master Ah Lorde howe that heart leaped againe for ioy whē our Sauior called her Mary and she answered him forth-with with this louing word of master O what a sodaine chaunge is this how present an alteration What did thy hart feele O good Mary Magdalen being thus in a moment deliuered from thy surpassing sorows and surseased with such a wonderful consolation What a boiling heat of hart was that that made her so impotent ouer her selfe be about to embrace him like one dronke in loue wherby she quite forgot her-selfe of his most sacred Maiestie O most happy teares wherewith she bedewed the ground of that garden which made her so soone to reape so sweete a fruit happy the perseuerance which made her tarye stil in that place wherby she was so singulerly reioyced and comforted of our Sauiour O happy loue more strong thē death which made her to finde the authour of life reuiued and risen vp in the very place of death Contemplate afterwardes howe she hied her to tel these ioyful tidinges to the Apostles whom euery one of them this Sonne of righteousnes minded to white confect and illuminate for like as he was borne for al and died for al so did he rise vp again for al and vouchsafed to cōmunicate the ioyes of his Resurrection to al forgetting neither Peter who denied him nor the other Apostles who were nowe for woe and distrust departed from Ierusalem neither Thomas who cōtinued so long time in his obstinate incredulitie wherby is shewed vs howe much more this Lord is inclined and prone to comfort and to fauour then to afflict and punish seing how in counterchange of those fewe dayes wherin he permitted them through his death to be scandalized troubled and afflicted he did afterwardes comfort and reioyce them farre more with his desired presence appering many times to them during the fortie daies mening ther by to ascertaine thē the better of the veritie of his Resurrectiō where out thou maiest learne to put thy trust in this most faithful Lorde And albeit thou feele thy selfe other-whiles afflicted and greeuously tempted dispaire not yet for he wil haue care to comfort and visite thee in due time and wil deliuer thee out of al thy temptatiōs and afflictions according as it is written After a storme he sendeth a calme and after sobbes and teares he geueth consolations A PRAYER AFTER a storm the aire grow eth commonly clear againe euen so is it happed to thee O most Souerain Queene of heauen for after the stormie and woful

his vices concupiscences Amen ¶ THE FIVE LAST MISTERIES ARE CALLED GLORIOVS FOR THAT THE MOST HOLY VIRGIN MARYE RECEAVED THEM AFTER HER SONNE WAS WHOLLYE GLORIOVS TO WITT BOTH IN BODY AND SOVLE OF THE RESVRRECTION Post triduum sospes repetit data membra sepulchro Tartareaque refert rapta trophea dom● ¶ THE FIRST WHEROF is of his triumphant Resurrection about the which thou shalt meditate these pointes folowing FIRST howe our Redeemer being dead his most sacred soule descended downe to Limbo to comfort and deliuer thence those holy fathers which had so long time looked for him with whom he staied til Sundaye morning when very early he returned to the sepulchre and taking againe his most holy bodye he rose vp glorious and issued out of his closed sepulchre SECONDLY thou maiest meditate howe our Lord being thus risen vp he appered first to his most holy mother who receaued an incomparable gladnes seing him risen vpp so beautiful and so glorious THIRDLY meditate howe after he had remained some space with his most blessed mother comforting and reioysing her he went afterwardes to performe the same office to his Disciples and his other deuout seruauntes amongst the which he first appered to good Mary Magdalen who loued him most feruently and with greatest desire did seeke him IN THE firste point thou maiest entertaine thy selfe meditating how al those holy Fathers Patriarches and prophets with al the other righteous persons which had been dead from the beginning of the world were al detained in Limbo expecting the happye comming of our Sauiour who with the same charitie and humilitie wher with he had hūbled him-selfe in suffring death vpon the Crosse vouchsafed also to humble him-self in discending downe to Limbo and visiting that blessed congregatiō which with such feruent zeale had long time desired to see this happy daye I leaue thee now to thinke what surpassing ioy those sacred soules receaued when they sawe this most sacred soule of Christ vnited to the Diuinitie enter with such triumph and puissance into their prison and with his brightnes to illuminate those mistie dongeons and vnderstood besides what he had done and suffred in the world and then wherfore he was discended thither to be onely to deliuer them out of their imprisonment and to make them endlesse happie What tongue can woorthelye tel their consolations their ioyes their songes praises and benedictiōs which they sounded forth in praise of their glorious benefactour Neuerthelesse albeit the ioye of these redeemed soules were so exceeding great yet farre greter was that of their Redeemer beginning now to see the glorious fruit of his great paines and the great good which his grieuous passion had wrought O with how great reason might eche one then saye This is the day that our Lorde hath made let vs reioyce and be gladd therein Where note that albeit it may seem other-whiles that our Lorde hath forgotten his elect and that which he hath promised them yet doth he not so but expecteth the fittest time wherein he knoweth how to fulfil the same like as we see he hath here done towardes these good holy Fathers We must not therefore wauer in our beliefe but abide and waite with patience for his most holy comming Sithēs as the Prophet Abacuch admonisheth vs Our Lorde whom thou hast so greatly called on wil come at length and wil not lye if he tary expect him for he that commeth wil come and wil not tarye long Consider also in this point howe our Sauiour hauing staide al Saterday with those holy Fathers reioycing and cōforting thē as wel thou maiest imagine his most blessed soule did on Sunday morning returne to reuiue his most sacred body which laye in the sepulchre wherinto he entring made it become so beautiful and glittering as the Sunne and that bodye which earst through the tormentes of his passiō was al wounded al blacke and al difformed like a Lepre presently after it was vnited to the most sacred soule and by it reuiued became the most beautiful of al bodies the blacknes being now changed into brightnes the woundes and deformitie conuerted into an incomparable beautie he reserued only the fiue most sacred woundes of his handes feete and side in memorie of our redemption the which doo wonderfully shine forth and beautifie the same and the fight therof causeth a singuler contentation to the blessed Saintes and moueth his eternal Father to mercy in our behalfes when for this intent it pleaseth him to shewe them O happy are those euer that shal enioye such a sight O what a Mirrour is this so cleare and beautiful wherein we maye eftsons take viewe of our selues to know our defects and to reioyce our hartes like as his disciples did reioyce eche time that the same Mirrour did shewe it selfe vnto them and at this day are they neuer satiated with beholding it in heauen IN THE second point thou mayest enterteine thy selfe meditating and beholding with the eyes of thy soule howe our Lorde and Redemer did presently after he was risen vp visite his most holy mother whom thou maiest wel beleue to haue been the first albeit in the Gospel there is no mention made thereof for that being a cōmaundement of his which the wise man reporteth Honor thy Father and forget not thy mothers sorowe howe were it possible for the most obedient sonne to forget his mother who loued him so dearly and had so bitterly wailed wept and sorowed his passion and paineful death Whye should not she be visited and comforted before al others which was more afflicted then al others If as the Euangelist reporteth our Lorde did after he was risen vp appere to S. Peter that had earst denied him why shal not we beleeue that he appered first to his blessed mother that neuer did denye him yea continuallye confessed him and loued him aboue al and in whom alone the faith remained firme and incorrupted Admitt therefore it was so as reason requireth it should be force thy selfe to meditate a litle what ioy this blessed Lady felt when being solitary in her chamber weeping waiting and longing to see the sonne of righteousnes rise vp to lighten and clear her darke and doleful heart she sawe her self in a moment enuironed with the glittering beames of the beautiful light thereof Howe great her gladnes was when she sawe that bodye which she had lately left in the sepulchre dead al wounded and deformed nowe liuing whole glittering and glorious How great contentatiō she receaued when she sawe the soueraine beautie and brightnes restored to that face ful of al graces and those diuine eyes wher-with he looked vpon her so cleare and so louely What pleasure her sence receaued when with her eares she heard the most sweete voice where-with he saluted her Howe soueraine her exultation was when she saw those most sacred armes embrace her so louinglye and how
