you_o will_v say_v and_o the_o early_a remembrance_n of_o those_o duty_n which_o we_o owe_v to_o our_o creator_n they_o breed_v melancholy_n and_o fright_v the_o soul_n with_o many_o sad_a and_o

in_o my_o text_n she_o that_o first_o see_v he_o speak_v to_o he_o go_v on_o his_o errand_n must_v not_o it_o seem_v presume_v to_o touch_v he_o touch_v i_o not_o for_o i_o be_o not_o yet_o ascend_v to_o my_o father_n in_o which_o word_n great_a be_v the_o difficulty_n if_o we_o shall_v inquire_v either_o why_o our_o saviour_n shall_v thus_o prohibit_v mary_n to_o touch_v he_o touch_v i_o not_o or_o why_o he_o shall_v give_v this_o reason_n for_o his_o prohibition_n for_o i_o be_o not_o yet_o ascend_v to_o may_v father_n in_o the_o handle_n of_o which_o word_n first_o i_o will_v endeavour_v to_o clear_v the_o difficulty_n thereof_o and_o second_o in_o several_a observation_n apply_v all_o unto_o ourselves_o to_o begin_v then_o with_o the_o difficulty_n of_o this_o strange_a prohibition_n touch_v i_o not_o wherein_o shall_v we_o say_v with_o some_o that_o christ_n be_v rise_v from_o the_o dead_a his_o mortal_a have_v put_v on_o immortality_n and_o death_n be_v swallow_v up_o in_o victory_n begin_v now_o to_o keep_v a_o distance_n require_v a_o more_o reverend_a respect_n will_v not_o condescend_v to_o the_o like_a familiarity_n which_o he_o have_v suffer_v heretofore_o and_o therefore_o seem_v here_o to_o give_v a_o check_n to_o mary_n come_v after_o her_o wont_a manner_n to_o embrace_v he_o touch_v i_o not_o but_o sure_o this_o can_v be_v the_o reason_n for_o we_o read_v in_o the_o last_o of_o st._n matthew_n that_o this_o same_o woman_n with_o many_o other_o and_o in_o all_o probability_n even_o at_o this_o same_o time_n do_v touch_v he_o touch_v he_o without_o control_n hold_v he_o by_o the_o foot_n and_o worship_v he_o and_o appear_v afterward_o to_o his_o disciple_n he_o be_v so_o far_o from_o be_v thus_o estrange_v as_o that_o behold_v say_v he_o my_o hand_n and_o my_o foot_n touch_v i_o nay_o more_o handle_v i_o touch_v i_o again_o and_o again_o and_o st._n john_n in_o his_o first_o epistle_n bring_v this_o as_o a_o evidence_n of_o his_o resurrection_n that_o which_o we_o have_v hear_v say_v he_o that_o which_o we_o have_v see_v nay_o more_o that_o which_o our_o hand_n have_v handle_v of_o the_o word_n of_o life_n declare_v we_o unto_o you_o or_o shall_v we_o say_v with_o other_o that_o our_o saviour_n do_v not_o in_o these_o word_n reprehend_v mary_n but_o inform_v she_o she_o think_v perhaps_o that_o christ_n be_v rise_v from_o the_o dead_a will_v present_o ascend_v unto_o the_o father_n and_o therefore_o now_o with_o one_o large_a salutation_n she_o bid_v he_o welcome_a from_o the_o dead_a she_o take_v her_o farewell_n from_o among_o the_o live_n she_o fall_v down_o she_o hold_v he_o by_o the_o foot_n she_o worship_v he_o and_o think_v she_o can_v now_o touch_v he_o too_o long_o as_o be_v never_o to_o touch_v he_o any_o more_o and_o for_o this_o cause_n they_o conceive_v our_o saviour_n may_v here_o say_v touch_v i_o not_o that_o be_v do_v not_o embrace_v i_o now_o as_o if_o you_o be_v to_o take_v your_o last_o farewell_n for_o i_o be_o not_o yet_o ascend_v to_o my_o father_n have_v many_o day_n to_o continue_v here_o on_o earth_n and_o you_o shall_v have_v time_n enough_o hereafter_o to_o visit_v to_o embrace_v to_o discourse_v and_o therefore_o now_o forbear_v your_o salutation_n arise_v rather_o and_o make_v other_o partaker_n with_o yourself_o of_o the_o same_o joy_n go_v tell_v my_o brethren_n that_o i_o ascend_v unto_o my_o father_n but_o this_o interpretation_n however_o at_o the_o first_o proposal_n somewhat_o plausible_a yet_o in_o the_o examination_n will_v not_o hold_v for_o first_o it_o seem_v more_o probable_a as_o i_o shall_v show_v you_o anon_o that_o mary_n be_v mistake_v rather_o in_o think_v that_o he_o will_v stay_v long_o than_o himself_o intend_v then_o that_o he_o will_v go_v away_o soon_o than_o herself_o desire_v and_o seond_o we_o do_v not_o read_v that_o our_o saviour_n do_v ever_o afterward_o appear_v to_o mary_n nay_o it_o appear_v rather_o by_o the_o message_n she_o be_v to_o deliver_v i_o ascend_v unto_o my_o father_n that_o he_o will_v inform_v she_o that_o he_o be_v not_o to_o stay_v long_o and_o that_o he_o mean_v not_o to_o be_v see_v often_o we_o may_v observe_v in_o the_o last_o of_o st._n john_n this_o be_v now_o the_o three_o time_n but_o the_o three_o time_n only_o that_o christ_n show_v himself_o to_o his_o disciple_n and_o if_o but_o thrice_o to_o they_o sure_o not_o so_o often_o to_o mary_n that_o for_o this_o cause_n he_o shall_v dismiss_v she_o now_o as_o if_o there_o will_v be_v time_n enough_o hereafter_o touch_v i_o not_o sure_o then_o some_o other_o cause_n must_v be_v find_v out_o for_o the_o full_a discovery_n whereof_o two_o thing_n i_o shall_v observe_v first_o that_o mary_n be_v not_o here_o simple_o forbid_v to_o touch_v her_o master_n that_o be_v to_o salute_v and_o to_o embrace_v he_o for_o st._n matth._n plain_o tell_v we_o that_o not_o mary_n only_o but_o all_o the_o woman_n hold_v he_o by_o the_o foot_n and_o worship_v he_o and_o this_o embrace_v of_o the_o foot_n it_o be_v a_o common_a solemn_a salutation_n among_o the_o jew_n thus_o the_o shunamite_n take_v elisha_n by_o the_o foot_n abigail_n fall_v at_o the_o foot_n of_o david_n the_o ruler_n of_o the_o synagogue_n the_o woman_n of_o cannaan_n at_o the_o foot_n of_o jesus_n cornelius_n at_o the_o foot_n of_o peter_n john_n of_o the_o angel_n only_o she_o be_v advise_v here_o not_o to_o be_v too_o long_o too_o passionate_a in_o her_o salutation_n for_o it_o may_v seem_v proble_n that_o when_o all_o the_o other_o woman_n be_v rise_v from_o the_o ground_n still_o mary_n kneel_v embrace_v he_o hold_v he_o by_o the_o foot_n and_o as_o she_o love_v much_o strive_v by_o her_o very_a gesture_n to_o testify_v the_o
