for_o we_o to_o receive_v second_o we_o may_v observe_v that_o as_o christ_n frustrat_n the_o expectation_n of_o mary_n in_o deny_v the_o worldly_a blessing_n she_o desire_v so_o to_o comfort_v she_o again_o he_o exceed_v her_o expectation_n in_o propose_v the_o hope_n of_o heavenly_a blessing_n more_o they_o she_o now_o think_v on_o no_o soon_o do_v mary_n rapt_v with_o a_o sudden_a joy_n cry_v out_o rabboni_n have_v i_o find_v thou_o o_o thou_o who_o my_o soul_n love_v no_o soon_o can_v she_o fall_v down_o and_o worship_v he_o as_o for_o joy_n that_o he_o be_v rise_v so_o in_o hope_n that_o she_o shall_v be_v raise_v too_o raise_v to_o honour_n in_o in_o that_o new_a kingdom_n which_o she_o persuade_v herself_o will_v now_o short_o be_v restore_v but_o present_o all_o this_o conceit_a happiness_n be_v blast_v with_o a_o noli_fw-la i_o tangere_fw-la touch_v i_o not_o do_v not_o therefore_o honour_v i_o as_o if_o i_o be_v now_o rise_v to_o raise_v you_o to_o honour_v here_o on_o earth_n for_o though_o i_o be_v rise_v i_o be_o not_o yet_o ascend_v and_o till_o i_o be_v ascend_v you_o must_v wait_v yet_o with_o the_o same_o breath_n wherewith_o she_o be_v dishearten_v she_o be_v comfort_v again_o for_o as_o the_o yet_o in_o my_o text_n plain_o intimate_v and_o the_o end_n of_o the_o verse_n express_v it_o he_o be_v short_o to_o ascend_v to_o his_o father_n and_o their_o father_n to_o his_o god_n and_o their_o god_n &_o then_o and_o there_o will_v he_o build_v up_o the_o house_n set_v up_o the_o throne_n and_o make_v they_o all_o king_n and_o priest_n thus_o be_v it_o usual_a with_o god_n to_o with_o hold_v lesser_a blessing_n where_o he_o intend_v to_o bestow_v great_a for_o the_o earth_n whereon_o mary_n have_v now_o seat_v the_o throne_n of_o her_o desire_n shall_v not_o be_v worthy_a to_o be_v the_o footstool_n of_o that_o happiness_n which_o he_o intend_v to_o prepare_v indeed_o if_o in_o this_o life_n only_o we_o have_v hope_n of_o all_o man_n good_a man_n be_v most_o miserable_a but_o bless_v be_v god_n say_v st._n paul_n who_o have_v bless_v we_o with_o all_o spiritual_a blessing_n in_o coelestibus_fw-la in_o thing_n heavenly_a in_o place_n heavenly_a and_o again_o bless_a be_v god_n say_v st._n peter_n who_o have_v beget_v we_o unto_o a_o lively_a hope_n to_o a_o inheritance_n incorruptible_a reserve_v for_o we_o in_o the_o heaven_n and_o therefore_o oft_o time_n withdraw_v his_o favour_n from_o we_o in_o the_o depth_n below_o that_o we_o may_v the_o more_o earnest_o seek_v after_o they_o in_o the_o height_n above_o for_o as_o god_n make_v some_o creature_n mere_o heavenly_a without_o any_o dependence_n for_o their_o preservation_n upon_o thing_n below_o other_o mere_o earthly_a without_o any_o hope_n or_o expectation_n of_o any_o happiness_n above_o so_o he_o make_v man_n in_o a_o condition_n between_o both_o his_o body_n from_o the_o earth_n earthly_a but_o his_o soul_n a_o spark_n from_o heaven_n &_o according_a to_o the_o two_o different_a part_n whereof_o he_o do_v consist_v he_o have_v provide_v he_o two_o different_a mansion_n first_o the_o earth_n and_o then_o the_o heaven_n now_o however_o between_o these_o two_o mansion_n there_o be_v no_o compare_n for_o the_o earth_n which_o we_o see_v be_v temporal_a but_o the_o heaven_n which_o we_o see_v not_o be_v eternal_a yet_o because_o as_o in_o the_o absence_n of_o moses_n the_o people_n come_v flock_v unto_o aaron_z and_o make_v thou_o god_n say_v they_o to_o go_v before_o we_o for_o as_o for_o this_o moses_n we_o know_v not_o what_o be_v become_v of_o he_o so_o in_o the_o absence_n of_o heaven_n we_o be_v too_o prone_a to_o lay_v hold_n upon_o the_o earth_n and_o set_v our_o affection_n upon_o
