to doe or not doe as we list First a generall stay is made of all passengers this day For as it were from his Crosse doth our Sauiour addresse this his speech to them that goe to and fro the day of his Passion without so much as entertaining a thought or vouchsafing a looke that way O vos qui transitis ô you that passe by the way stay and Consider To them frameth he this speech that passe by To them and to them all O vos omnes qui transitis ô all ye that passe by the way stay and Consider Which very stay of his sheweth it to bee some important matter in that it is of all For as for some to be stayed and those the greater some there may be reason the most part of those that goe thus to and fro may well intend it they haue litle els to doe But to except none not some speciall Persons is hard What know wee their haste Their occasions may be such so vrgent as they cannot stay Well what haste what businesse soeuer passe not by stay though As much to say as Bee they neuer so great your occasions they are not they cannot be so great as this How vrgent soeuer this is more and more to be intended The Regard of this is worthy the staying of a iourney It is worth the Considering of those that haue neuer so great affaires in hand So materiall is this sight in his accompt which serueth to shew the exigence of this duetie But as for this point it needeth not to be stood vpon to vs here at this time we are not going by we need not to be stayed wee haue stayed all other our affaires to come hither and here we are all present before God to haue it set before vs that wee may consider it Thither then let vs come That which we are called to behold and consider is his Sorow And Sorow is a thing which of it selfe Nature enclineth vs to behold as being our selues in the bodie which may bee one day in the like sorowfull case Therefore wil euery good eye turne it selfe and looke vpon them that lye in distresse Those two in the Gospel that passed by the wounded man before they passed by him though they helped him not as the Samaritane did yet they looked vpon him as hee lay But this partie here lieth not he is lift vp as the Serpent in the wildernes that vnlesse we turne our eyes away purposely we can neither will nor chuse but behold him But because to Behold and not to Consider is but to gaze And gazing the Angel blameth in the Apostles themselues wee must doe both both Behold and Consider looke vpon with the eye of the Body that is Beholde and looke into with the eye of the Mind that is Cosider So saith the Prophet here And the very same doeth the Apostle aduise vs to do First 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 to looke vpon him that is to Behold and then 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 to thinke vpon him that is to Consider his Sorow Sorow sure would be considered Now then because as the qualitie of the Sorow is accordingly it would be considered for if it be but a common Sorow the lesse will serue but if it be some special some very heauy case the more would be allowed it for proportionably with the suffering the consideration is to arise To raise our consideration to the full and to eleuate it to the highest point there is vpon this Sorow set a Si fuerit sicut a note of highest eminencie for Si fuerit sicut are words that haue life in them are able to quicken our consideration if it bee not quite dead For by them we are prouoked as it were to Consider and considering to see whether euer any Sicut may be found to set by it whether euer any like it For if neuer any Our nature is to regard things exceeding rare and strange and such as the like whereof is not els to bee seene Vpon this point then there is a Case made As if he should say If euer the like Regard not this But if neuer any Be like your selues in other things and vouchsafe this if not your chiefest yet some Regard To enter then this Comparison and to shew it for such That are we to doe three sundry wayes For three sundry wayes in three sundry words are these Sufferings of his here expressed all three within the compasse of the Verse The first is 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Mac-ob which we reade Sorow taken from a wound or stripe as all doe agree The second is 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Gholel we reade Done to me taken from a word that signifieth Melting in a fornace as S. Hierom noteth out of the Chaldaee who so translateth it The third is 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Hoga where we reade Afflicted from a word which importeth Renting off or bereauing The old Latine turneth it Vindemiauit me As a Vine whose fruit is all plucked off The Greeke with Theodoret 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 as a Vine or tree whose leaues are all beaten off and it left naked and bare In these three are comprised his Sufferings Wounded Melted Bereft leafe and fruit that is all maner of comfort Of all that is poenal or can be suffred the cōmon diuision is Sensus Damni Griefe for that we feele or for that we forgo For that we feele in the two former Wounded in body Melted in Soule For that we forgoe in the last Bereft all left neither fruit nor so much as a leafe to hang on him According to these three To consider his Sufferings to begin first with the first The paines of his Body his wounds and his stripes Our very eye will soone tell vs No place was left in his Body where he might bee smitten was not His Skin and flesh rent with the whips scourges His hands and feet wounded with the nailes His head with the thornes His very Heart with the speare point All his sences all his parts loden with whatsoeuer wit or malice could inuent His blessed Body giuen as an Anuile to bee beaten vpon with the violent handes of those barbarous miscreants til they brought him into this case of Si fuerit sicut For Pilates Ecce Homo His shewing him with an Ecce as if he should say Behold looke if euer you saw the like ruefull spectacle This very shewing of his sheweth plainely hee was then come into a wofull plight So wofull as Pilate verily beleeued his very sight so pitifull as it would haue moued the hardest heart of them all to haue relented and said This is ynough we desire no more And this for the wounds of his Body for on this we stand not In this one peraduenture some Sicut may be found in the Paines of the Body but in the second

the Sorrow of the Soule I am sure none And indeede the Paine of the Body is but the Body of Paine the very soule of Sorow and Paine is the soules Sorrow and Paine Giue me any griefe saue the griefe of the minde saith the Wiseman For saith Salomon the spirit of a man wilsustain all his other infirmities but a wounded spirit who can beare And of this this of his Soule I dare make a Case Si fuerit sicut He began to be troubled in Soule saith S. Iohn To be in an agonie saith S. Luke To be in anguish of minde and deepe distresse saith S. Marke To haue his Soule round about on euery side inuironed with Sorow and that Sorow to the death Here is trouble anguish agonie sorow and deadly sorow but it must be such as neuer the like So it was too The aestimate whereof we may take from the second word of Melting that is from his sweat in the Garden strange and the like whereof was neuer heard or seene No maner violence offred him in Body no man touching him or being neere him in a colde night for they were faine to haue a fire within doores lying abroad in the ayre and vpon the colde earth to be all of a sweat and that Sweat to be Blood and not as they call it Diaphoreticus a thinne faint Sweat but Grumosus of great Drops and those so many so plenteous as they went through his apparell and all and through all streamed to the ground that in great abundance Reade Enquire and Consider Si fuerit sudor sicut sudor iste If euer there were Sweat like this Sweat of his Neuer the like Sweat certainely and therefore neuer the like Sorrow Our translation is Done vnto me but we said the word properly signifieth and so S. Hierome the Chaldey Paraphrast read it Melted me And truly it should seeme by this fearefull Sweat of his hee was neere some fornace the feeling whereof was able to cast him into that Sweat and to turne his Sweat into drops of Blood And sure it was so For see euen in the very next wordes of all to this verse he complaineth of it Ignem misit in ossibus me is That a fire was sent into his bones which melted him and made that bloody Sweat to distill from him That houre what his feelings were it is dangerous to define wee know them not we may be too bold to determine of them To very good purpose it was that the ancient Fathers of the Greeke Church in their Liturgie after they haue recounted all the particular Paines as they are set downe in his Passion and by all and by euery one of them called for mercy doe after all shut vp all with his 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 By thine vnknowen Sorowes and Sufferings felt by thee but not distinctly knowen by vs haue mercy vpon vs and saue vs. Now though this suffice not nothing neere yet let it suffice the time being short for his paines of Body and Soule for those of the Body it may be some may haue endured the like but the sorrowes of his Soule are vnknowen sorowes for them none euer haue euer haue or euer shall suffer the like the like or neere the like in any degree And now to the third It was said before To be in distresse such distresse as this was to find none to comfort nay not so much as to regard him is all that can be sayd to make his sorow a Non sicut Comfort is it by which in the midst of all our sorowes we are Confortati that is strengthened made the better able to beare them all out And who is there euen the poorest creature among vs but in some degree findeth some cōfort or some regard at some bodies hāds For if that be not left the state of that partie is here in the third word said to be like the tree whose leaues and whose sruit are all beaten off quite and it selfe left bare and naked both or the one and of the other And such was our Sauiours case in these his Sorowes this day and that so as what is left the meanest of the sons of men was not left him Not a leafe Not a leafe Leaues I may wel call all humane Comforts and Regards where of he was then left cleane desolate 1. His owne they among whom he had gone about all his life long healing them teaching them feeding them doing them all the good he could it is they that cry Not him no but Barabbas rather Away with him his blood bee vpon vs and our children It is they that in the middest of his sorowes shake their head at him and cry Ah thou wretch they that in his most disconsolate estate cry Eli Eli in most barbarous maner deride him and say Stay and you shal see Elias come presently and take him downe And this was their Regard But these were but withered leaues They then that on earth were neerest him of all the greenest leaues likest to hang on and to giue him some shade euen of them some bought and sold him others denied forswore him but all fel away forsooke him 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 saith Theodoret not a leafe left But leaues are but leaues and so are all earthly stayes The fruit then the true fruit of the Vine indeed the true comfort in all heauinesse is Desuper from aboue is diuine consolation But Vindemiauit me saith the Latine text euen that was in this his Sorow this day bereft him too And that was his most sorowfull complaint of all others not that his friends vpon earth but that his Father from heauen had forsaken him that neither heauen nor earth yeelded him any regard but that betweene the passioned powers of his soule and whatsoeuer might any waies refresh him there was a Trauerse drawen he left in the estate of a weather-beaten tree all desolate and forlorne Euident too euident by that his most dreadful crie which at once moued all the powers in heauen and earth My God my God why hast thou forsaken me Weigh well that crie consider it well and tell me Sifuerit clamor sicut clamor iste If euer there were crie like to that of his Neuer the like crie and therefore neuer the like sorow It is strange very strange that of none of the Martyrs the like can be read who yet endured most exquisite paines in their Martyrdomes yet wee see with what courage with what chearefulnes how euen singing they are reported to haue passed through their torments Will ye know the reason S Augustine setteth it downe Martyres non eripuit sed nunquid deseruit He deliuered not his Martyrs but did he forsake them He deliuered not their bodies but he forsooke not their soules but distilled into thē the dew of his heauenly comfort an abundant supply for all they could endure
