it_o be_v a_o sober_a indictment_n to_o say_v he_o be_v a_o evil_a man_n that_o must_v be_v qualify_v and_o pilate_n think_v this_o of_o no_o valour_n and_o cast_v it_o off_o at_o the_o last_o after_o many_o word_n he_o throw_v another_o accusation_n out_o of_o the_o jew_n the_o accusation_n be_v this_o as_o may_v be_v gather_v of_o the_o text_n he_o call_v he_o a_o king_n and_o king_n of_o the_o jew_n and_o a_o enemy_n to_o caesar_n who_o will_v reave_v the_o kingdom_n from_o he_o and_o a_o traitor_n and_o guilty_a against_o the_o majesty_n of_o caesar_n the_o rest_n of_o the_o evangelist_n have_v this_o accusation_n more_o plain_o and_o at_o great_a length_n the_o jew_n say_v luke_o 23.2_o we_o have_v find_v this_o man_n pervert_v the_o people_n and_o forbid_v the_o people_n to_o pay_v

that_o pilate_n inquire_v whether_o he_o be_v a_o king_n or_o no_o it_o be_v manifest_a that_o they_o be_v delator_n of_o christ_n to_o pilate_n and_o pilate_n know_v not_o this_o of_o his_o own_o

adjudge_v he_o already_o worthy_a of_o death_n in_o their_o own_o council_n for_o blasphemy_n but_o when_o it_o come_v to_o the_o roman_a judge_n he_o be_v deleat_v of_o treason_n against_o the_o

this_o their_o do_v yet_o consider_v it_o more_o deep_o the_o thing_n that_o they_o deleate_v to_o pilate_n of_o jesus_n be_v a_o lie_n for_o jesus_n be_v so_o far_o from_o that_o to_o accept_v a_o

they_o say_v that_o he_o forbid_v to_o pay_v tribute_n unto_o caesar_n that_o be_v false_a also_o for_o he_o pay_v tribute_n unto_o caesar_n for_o he_o and_o peter_n and_o give_v commandment_n to_o

further_o here_o the_o jew_n will_v seem_v to_o be_v careful_a for_o caesar_n kingdom_n and_o take_v delight_n to_o have_v caesar_n to_o reign_v over_o they_o but_o indeed_o caesar_n be_v the_o only_a

have_v the_o bitterness_n of_o the_o gall_n there_o be_v sundry_a opinion_n about_o this_o drink_n which_o they_o give_v he_o some_o think_v that_o this_o be_v a_o delicious_a drink_n and_o that_o

and_o put_v it_o to_o his_o mouth_n and_o this_o his_o drink_n be_v to_o be_v count_v a_o part_n of_o his_o passion_n of_o this_o we_o have_v this_o lesson_n always_o keep_v this_o ground_n that_o

speak_v of_o the_o resurrection_n of_o jesus_n christ_n we_o shall_v follow_v out_o the_o whole_a four_o evangelist_n matthew_z in_o his_o last_o chapter_n mark_v in_o his_o last_o chapter_n and_o

he_o rise_v out_o of_o the_o grave_n it_o have_v please_v the_o lord_n in_o his_o wisdom_n to_o conceal_v all_o these_o thing_n yet_o it_o be_v certain_a he_o arise_v out_o of_o the_o grave_n in_o

be_v pass_v for_o after_o they_o have_v see_v the_o lord_n lay_v in_o the_o grave_n by_o joseph_n and_o nicodemus_n they_o return_v home_o to_o the_o preparation_n of_o the_o passeover_n which_o be_v

the_o end_n of_o the_o sabbath_n when_o the_o first_o day_n in_o the_o week_n begin_v to_o dawn_n it_o be_v in_o y_z e_z dawn_v before_o the_o lord_n day_n so_o call_v in_o remembrance_n of_o his_o

when_o it_o be_v dark_a in_o a_o world_n it_o be_v on_o sunday_n in_o y_z e_z morning_n at_o y_z e_z very_a point_n of_o time_n when_o y_z e_z sun_n rose_n now_o you_o e_o purpose_n of_o these_o

e_o resurrection_n even_o to_o y_z e_z shame_n of_o man_n yea_o even_o to_o y_z e_z shame_n of_o his_o apostle_n for_o they_o rise_v early_o in_o y_z e_z morning_n but_o his_o apostle_n lay_v lurk_v still_o &_o go_v not_o out_o so_o in_o the_o example_n of_o these_o woman_n we_o may_v see_v that_o to_o be_v true_a which_o paul_n say_v 1._o cor._n 1.27_o the_o lord_n have_v choose_v the_o foolish_a thing_n of_o the_o world_n to_o confound_v the_o wise_a and_o god_n have_v choose_v the_o weak_a thing_n of_o the_o world_n to_o confound_v the_o mighty_a thing_n that_o all_o glory_n may_v redound_v to_o he_o another_o thing_n we_o see_v in_o their_o example_n that_o which_o the_o apostle_n say_v 1._o cor._n 3.18_o if_o any_o man_n seem_v to_o be_v wise_a in_o this_o world_n let_v he_o be_v a_o fool_n that_o he_o may_v be_v wise_a the_o lord_n in_o this_o do_n will_v have_v his_o disciple_n to_o sit_v down_o in_o the_o school_n of_o woman_n to_o learn_v of_o they_o that_o glorious_a

of_o the_o testimony_n of_o these_o woman_n &_o become_v not_o as_o a_o fool_n albeit_o thou_o were_v never_o so_o wise_a thou_o shall_v never_o get_v a_o part_n of_o the_o resurrection_n of_o jesus_n christ_n now_o i_o go_v forward_o to_o the_o three_o thing_n we_o have_v here_o set_v down_o it_o be_v a_o incident_a that_o fall_v out_o while_o as_o the_o woman_n be_v on_o their_o journey_n go_v to_o the_o grave_n for_o as_o they_o be_v go_v to_o the_o grave_n there_o fall_v out_o say_z matthew_z a_o great_a earthquake_n the_o cause_n be_v note_v for_o as_o they_o be_v go_v to_o the_o grave_n the_o lord_n of_o glory_n send_v a_o angel_n to_o tell_v the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o lord_n to_o these_o woman_n so_o in_o very_a deed_n the_o angel_n be_v a_o witness_n before_o the_o woman_n but_o the_o woman_n before_o the_o man_n always_o the_o angel_n that_o come_v from_o heaven_n he_o be_v a_o honourable_a ambassador_n the_o bless_a angel_n be_v very_o glorious_a &_o no_o question_n the_o lord_n will_v have_v his_o resurrection_n first_o witness_v by_o so_o glorious_a a_o ambassador_n he_o will_v not_o have_v man_n to_o testify_v first_o of_o it_o but_o he_o will_v have_v a_o glorious_a angel_n from_o heaven_n to_o tell_v &_o proclaim_v the_o lord_n of_o glory_n be_v rise_v and_o that_o he_o have_v break_v the_o band_n of_o death_n &_o rise_v up_o in_o despite_n of_o the_o devil_n &_o death_n &_o that_o to_o our_o well_n y_z t_z both_o we_o may_v rise_v to_o a_o newness_n of_o life_n &_o y_o it_o we_o may_v be_v assure_v that_o they_o who_o sleep_v in_o he_o as_o paul_n say_v and_o lie_v in_o the_o give_v shall_v be_v raise_v with_o he_o at_o that_o great_a day_n in_o glory_n a_o angel_n a_o glorious_a creature_n honour_v the_o message_n but_o yet_o i_o say_v the_o message_n and_o commission_n honour_v the_o angel_n more_o than_o the_o angel_n do_v the_o message_n yea_o if_o it_o be_v all_o the_o angel_n in_o heaven_n they_o get_v more_o honour_n by_o it_o than_o they_o can_v give_v to_o it_o well_o if_o the_o preach_n of_o y_fw-fr e_o gospel_n the_o testify_a of_o jesus_n &_o his_o resurrection_n honour_v the_o angel_n shall_v we_o
i_o think_v no_o man_n nor_o woman_n shall_v doubt_v why_o these_o woman_n preach_v this_o resurrection_n the_o lord_n give_v they_o a_o special_a direction_n first_o from_o god_n then_o from_o his_o angel_n and_o this_o commission_n may_v satisfy_v so_o that_o the_o apostle_n be_v bind_v to_o receive_v this_o commission_n that_o be_v ordain_v by_o the_o lord_n of_o heaven_n i_o mark_v this_o lesson_n there_o be_v neither_o man_n nor_o woman_n can_v speak_v in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n except_o they_o be_v send_v so_o say_v paul_n to_o the_o roman_n ten_o chapter_n and_o fifteen_o

&_o the_o lord_n in_o that_o great_a day_n shall_v never_o count_v of_o thy_o preach_n except_o thou_o have_v a_o warrant_n in_o thy_o conscience_n will_v he_o put_v his_o word_n in_o the_o mouth_n of_o every_o knave_n no_o that_o be_v a_o grace_n to_o call_v jesus_n the_o lord_n no_o thou_o can_v not_o call_v jesus_n the_o lord_n except_o thou_o have_v the_o spirit_n of_o jesus_n as_o the_o

shall_v look_v that_o that_o spirit_n be_v in_o the_o heart_n to_o direct_v we_o when_o we_o speak_v i_o mark_v next_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o to_o have_v see_v this_o resurrection_n and_o never_o to_o have_v speak_v one_o word_n of_o it_o no_o he_o command_v they_o to_o testify_v to_o the_o apostle_n and_o the_o apostle_n get_v this_o commandment_n to_o preach_v it_o again_o for_o the_o

thou_o never_o hear_v with_o joy_n we_o all_o have_v pleasure_n enough_o to_o talk_v with_o joy_n of_o vain_a and_o profane_a tale_n but_o of_o that_o pleasure_n of_o pleasure_n little_a or_o no_o

they_o steal_v in_o to_o the_o apostle_n and_o they_o who_o love_v christ_n who_o be_v lurk_v in_o jerusalem_n so_o the_o lesson_n be_v this_o a_o man_n that_o find_v joy_n will_v not_o communicate_v
