passion which gave unto the world that sweet savour of Salvation in which with the rarest clause hee concluded all with an action of observation admiration and imitation nam perdidat animam ne perdiderit obedientiam he lost his life to save his obedience approving himselfe the spotlesse Lambe of God both in his ingresse to the World conceived of a Virgin by the power of the holy Ghost In his progresse in this World the beames of his holinesse dazeling with amazement the eyes of the beholders and in his egresse out of this World though hee were condemned with a jury of Iewes a Iewish jury as a malefactour yet both Pilates unanswerable interrogation at his death What evill hath he don and the peoples affirmative testimony of his innocency in his life concludes that he both in his life and death was the Lord of life the everliving God the anchor and authour of all our wel-fare Because he hath done all things well let therefore all the flockes of Iacob follow the great and good

the robes of righteousnesse to meet the nay thy Bridegroom Christ Iesus in the clouds by walking as himselfe hath left himselfe for an example whose praise is in the Gospell non plausu vanitatis sed judicio veritatis non precario sed merito for fecit omnia benè All time and tongue would fayle mee if I should seeme to tell all for hee hath done all he hath done all things well I will therefore

was but the efficient instrument the Divine the effectuall Agent una succubuit injuriis altera fulgebat miraculis the malady was cured by the one the miracle shewed by the other both working together miraculously not onely mira things strange to the vulgar apprehension but miracula farre surmounting the power of mans hand both in the matter and manner In matter in such marvellous variety extending unto spirituall substances according unto that of the Prophet Zac. 13 2. He shall cause the uncleane spirits to depart the Land accomplished when the Prince of this world was cast out Ioh. 12.31 Heaven Earth and Hell confessed him the Wonderfull for at his passion the Sun did hide his face the Earth was moved
