hath but look'd with a wrathfull eye or thought after his brother hath slaine him in his heart Lord therefore let thy holy Spirit that holy Dove which is so active in holy billings and affections of charity nest in my soule and warm my soule into ardent and fervent loves and desires for hereby thou hast told us that wee are thy Disciples if wee love one another Lord let thy love bee shed abroad in my heart that my heart may shed and disperse it into my other parts into my feet that I may goe to my adversary and forgive him and into my armes and hands that I may give unto him if hee hunger that I may feed him if he hirst that I may give him drinke into my tongue that I may appease with soft answers and apologies his passion towards me that I may speake friendly and fairely to him for if we love one another God dwelleth in us Stand without Matth. 12. 47 48. Then one said unto him Behold thy mother and thy brethren stand without desiring to speake with thee But he answered and said Who is my mother and who are my brethren Discovery I Discover now that Jesus is upon businesse and in the heat of his function nothing can turn his face or regard out of the way a behold cannot so arrest his eye-beames not though the relation of a mother or a brother put to their hands Who is my mother hee declines his duty and respect and all relations must bee question'd of their title and interest Who is my mother and who are my brethren such relations are but now the pauses and interjections to dispatches and employments and break off that continuity which is exacted in businesse of an high and holy nature Who is my mother and who are my brethren hee demands as though hee would decline his knowledge indeede in weighty Commissions wee should put mother and brethren to the distance of strangers and open our veines for consanguinity and respects to run out a while and leave our bloud and spirits Thy mother and thy brethren stand without and without must they stand a time it is not fit to admit respects into the same roome with employments A Prophet without honour Matth. 13. 57 58. And they were offended in him But JESUS said unto them A Prophet is not without honor save in his owne Countrey And hee did not many mighty works there Discovery I Discover Jesus passeth not over some kindes of contempt with silence but replies in defence of his reputation sometimes a silence shewes but a faint and short-winded spirit that dares not breathe in the face of his adversary They were offended But Jesus said he will have his say with them and his saying shall be to repell their offence by defence of himselfe A Prophet is not without honour save in his owne countrey hee will not seeme guilty of a neglect by a desert of his own but theirs a christian spirit should never stoop to the contempt of any so far as to comply with it in any assent either by dejection or cowardize And now Jesus departs for hee did not many mighty works there some workes hee did and those mighty but not many mighty he would not take off his penne quite because that his adversary liked not the copy Rumpatur quisquis rumpitur invidia he did not many there for his stay would seem to have courted too much an approbation or respect from his enemies and all such pretended delaies is to set up a boothe for retailing that ware you want a shop for And buried it Matth. 14. 12 13. And his Disciples came and tooke up the body and buried it and went and told Jesus When Jesus heard of it he departed thence into a desart place apart Discovery I Discover the Disciples care to the memorie of their friend They tooke the body and buried it they will not suffer his body unburied it is not fit to keep the corrupted part of a friend bare or naked bee it a calumnie or crime lay it under the sod with him let your memory bee a grave to your friends corruptions and weaknesses and embalme no part but his best for posterity Now after they had buried him they told Jesus they are not too hastie in sad relations they buried him and told it after funerall stories alwaies arrive soon enough it is not seasonable to imp their wings with our feathers of haste And now that Jesus heares hee departs When Jesus heard of it hee departed hee will not stay by ill newes those are but melancholy itches which delight in frications and chafings and stay to be rubb'd with more accents of sorrow they are too soft affections which love even to sit and thaw at a woe or mis-fortune Jesus departed and whither but apart he departed into a desart place apart At the newes of death hee separates from company wisely practising his part of separation ere his course be to act it to goe apart at the newes of mortality is a ceremony sutes well such a departure answers in proportion to the departure of your friend and shewes how neare you adventure for his sake to comply with mortality He sent the multitude away Matth. 14. 22. And Jesus constrained his Disciples to get into a ship and to goe before him while he sent the multitude away Discovery I Discover how observant and decently ceremonious Jesus is a multitude are met for his sake and hee leaves not his owne to dismisse them but leaves his owne and dismisses them and sends those away while he sent the multitude he leaves them not abruptly but in good manners dissolves them sends them away a phrase which sounds of a milde dispatch they were strangers to him and therefore he sends them away but constrained his Disciples makes bolder with his owne And Jesus constrained his Disciples hee sends them away the multitude not with any neglect or disdaine in this phrase of sending hee pretends rather an interest to their returne for an affable dismission sheds such an engagement upon the people as keepes them still there while they seeme to depart The Sonne of God Matth. 14. 33 34. Then they that were in the ship came worshipped saying Of a truth thou art the Sonne of God And when they were gone over they came into the land of Genesaret Discovery I Discover how silent Jesus is now that they worship and applaud him here is not a word of his reply they call him the Sonne of God but I reade no answer hee makes for the verse that followes is impertinent to this And when they were gone over c. I observe hee refuses not the worship nor sacred applause done him nor takes much notice nor prides himselfe in it in just and due applauses it is a wrong to your merit to denie them and such modesty does but whisper to your goodnesse to betray it I know to assume and raise your selfe to the trumpet of another is
