and_o sickness_n and_o death_n in_o this_o world_n lazarus_n who_o christ_n love_v be_v sick_a 2._o his_o sister_n therefore_o use_v the_o best_a mean_n they_o can_v whilst_o he_o be_v sick_a for_o his_o recovery_n they_o send_v to_o christ_n to_o teach_v we_o that_o we_o can_v sue_v and_o seek_v to_o none_o in_o comparison_n of_o christ_n in_o all_o our_o trouble_n for_o as_o he_o be_v repute_v in_o those_o day_n a_o great_a phycitian_n for_o the_o body_n who_o cure_v all_o disease_n so_o be_v he_o for_o the_o soul_n too_o to_o heal_v all_o our_o misery_n 3._o for_o christ_n part_n though_o he_o love_v lazarus_n yet_o he_o do_v not_o present_o come_v to_o cure_v he_o but_o suffer_v he_o to_o die_v he_o abide_v two_o day_n in_o the_o place_n where_o he_o be_v till_o lazarus_n be_v dead_a from_o whence_o we_o may_v note_v that_o christ_n suffer_v the_o evil_a of_o affliction_n to_o come_v upon_o his_o servant_n who_o he_o love_v rather_o than_o prevent_v it_o with_o grace_n and_o then_o also_o he_o do_v not_o present_o relieve_v they_o but_o suffer_v they_o to_o send_v and_o pray_v as_o these_o sister_n do_v here_o and_o as_o jacob_n wrestle_v with_o god_n and_o saint_n paul_n pray_v thrice_o and_o this_o he_o do_v for_o diverse_a cause_n both_o to_o manifest_v our_o grace_n and_o his_o glory_n our_o faith_n and_o love_n to_o he_o by_o this_o mean_n will_v express_v themselves_o the_o more_o and_o this_o also_o will_n more_o manifest_a his_o glory_n in_o bring_v down_o to_o hell_n and_o the_o grave_n and_o then_o bring_v again_o to_o life_n if_o christ_n have_v come_v at_o the_o first_o and_o heal_v his_o sickness_n a_o ordinary_a physician_n haply_o can_v have_v do_v as_o much_o but_o though_o he_o tarry_v long_o yet_o at_o last_o he_o come_v and_o show_v the_o gracious_a light_n of_o his_o countenance_n upon_o we_o so_o that_o now_o you_o shall_v hear_v he_o with_o comfortable_a word_n speak_v both_o to_o his_o apostle_n in_o private_a and_o afterward_o to_o the_o sister_n when_o they_o come_v to_o meet_v he_o to_o his_o apostle_n he_o say_v our_o friend_n lazarus_n sleep_v so_o that_o if_o we_o can_v get_v friendship_n with_o christ_n our_o death_n shall_v be_v but_o a_o sleep_n and_o christ_n will_v certain_o awake_v we_o from_o it_o at_o the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o just_a so_o christ_n go_v forward_o to_o the_o house_n of_o mourning_n where_o the_o jew_n be_v comfort_v the_o sister_n for_o the_o death_n of_o their_o brother_n lazarus_n but_o they_o be_v like_o rachel_n mourn_v for_o her_o child_n they_o refuse_v to_o be_v comfort_v because_o their_o brother_n lazarus_n be_v not_o when_o martha_n hear_v that_o christ_n be_v come_v on_o the_o way_n she_o go_v forth_o to_o meet_v he_o few_o such_o marthaes_n who_o meet_v christ_n come_v towards_o they_o we_o rather_o fly_v from_o he_o when_o she_o be_v come_v to_o christ_n she_o tell_v he_o with_o a_o heavy_a heart_n of_o the_o death_n of_o her_o brother_n lazarus_n which_o his_o presence_n may_v have_v prevent_v christ_n therefore_o in_o the_o word_n i_o have_v read_v unto_o you_o preach_v a_o comfortable_a sermon_n to_o pacify_v the_o friend_n of_o the_o decease_a that_o they_o shall_v not_o sorrow_n as_o those_o without_o hope_n and_o tell_v martha_n that_o her_o brother_n lazarus_n though_o he_o be_v dead_a shall_v rise_v again_o and_o that_o she_o may_v not_o doubt_v of_o it_o he_o add_v that_o he_o will_v bring_v it_o to_o pass_v not_o only_o for_o lazarus_n but_o for_o all_o other_o decease_v in_o the_o faith_n and_o therefore_o he_o say_v i_o be_o the_o resurrection_n and_o the_o life_n he_o that_o believe_v in_o i_o though_o he_o be_v dead_a yet_o shall_v he_o live_v and_o whosoever_o live_v and_o believe_v in_o i_o shall_v never_o die_v so_o that_o the_o word_n of_o the_o text_n which_o i_o have_v read_v unto_o you_o be_v a_o gracious_a and_o a_o large_a charter_n or_o promise_n of_o christ_n wherewith_o he_o comfort_v
