the_o lord_n of_o glory_n send_v a_o angel_n to_o tell_v the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o lord_n to_o these_o woman_n so_o in_o very_a deed_n the_o angel_n be_v a_o witness_n before_o the_o woman_n

the_o lord_n will_v have_v his_o resurrection_n first_o witness_v by_o so_o glorious_a a_o ambassador_n he_o will_v not_o have_v man_n to_o testify_v first_o of_o it_o but_o he_o will_v have_v a_o

than_o they_o can_v give_v to_o it_o well_o if_o the_o preach_n of_o y_fw-fr e_o gospel_n the_o testify_a of_o jesus_n &_o his_o resurrection_n honour_v the_o angel_n shall_v we_o
think_v that_o any_o man_n in_o earth_n be_v too_o good_a to_o preach_v the_o gospel_n of_o christ_n no_o if_o thou_o were_v a_o king_n it_o be_v a_o great_a honour_n to_o thou_o that_o thou_o shall_v

by_o the_o power_n of_o god_n now_o to_o go_v forward_o when_o this_o angel_n come_v down_o first_o we_o have_v what_o he_o do_v then_o we_o have_v a_o fair_a description_n of_o this_o angel_n the_o first_o thing_n he_o do_v be_v he_o go_v to_o the_o grave_n and_o roll_v away_o the_o stone_n from_o the_o door_n you_o will_v think_v this_o be_v but_o a_o sober_a and_o servile_a office_n to_o so_o

mark_v and_o compare_v the_o burial_n with_o his_o glorious_a resurrection_n in_o his_o burial_n he_o keep_v the_o godhead_n close_o for_o if_o either_o in_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n or_o in_o

in_o the_o resurrection_n the_o godhead_n that_o dwell_v in_o he_o bodily_a break_v out_o and_o raise_v the_o stone_n upon_o this_o difference_n there_o follow_v another_o in_o his_o burial_n the_o

roll_v the_o stone_n to_o the_o door_n of_o the_o grave_n but_o when_o it_o come_v to_o his_o glorious_a resurrection_n in_o the_o which_o that_o godhead_n that_o before_o keep_v itself_o close_o break_v out_o he_o use_v not_o the_o ministry_n of_o man_n but_o of_o a_o glorious_a angel_n a_o angel_n roll_n away_o the_o stone_n as_o it_o be_v with_o his_o own_o hand_n now_o this_o let_v we_o see_v how_o high_o and_o honourable_o we_o shall_v think_v of_o this_o glorious_a resurrection_n it_o be_v true_a the_o lord_n in_o his_o burial_n be_v honourable_a but_o he_o be_v far_o more_o honourable_a in_o his_o resurrection_n for_o the_o honour_n that_o he_o have_v in_o his_o burial_n be_v but_o a_o worldly_a honour_n but_o in_o his_o resurrection_n he_o have_v a_o heavenly_a honour_n indeed_o joseph_n and_o nicodemus_n who_o bury_v he_o be_v two_o honourable_a man_n but_o a_o angel_n be_v a_o hundred_o time_n more_o honourable_a and_o glorious_a than_o any_o man_n albeit_o he_o

here_o we_o shall_v never_o see_v glory_n hereafter_o but_o before_o i_o leave_v this_o i_o see_v that_o in_o the_o roll_a away_o of_o the_o stone_n the_o lord_n have_v a_o respect_n to_o the_o

the_o lord_n will_v help_v they_o that_o seek_v he_o seek_v the_o lord_n where_o ever_o he_o be_v seek_v the_o lord_n in_o the_o grave_n seek_v the_o lord_n in_o the_o heaven_n and_o thou_o shall_v

to_o testify_v that_o christ_n be_v rise_v in_o glory_n the_o first_o witness_n of_o his_o death_n and_o burial_n be_v man_n and_o woman_n but_o the_o first_o witness_n of_o his_o glorious_a

it_o be_v joyful_a sweet_a and_o comfortable_a to_o they_o who_o be_v in_o jesus_n christ_n but_o when_o it_o meet_v with_o a_o sinful_a heart_n and_o a_o evil_a conscience_n of_o all_o thing_n it_o

i_o think_v no_o man_n nor_o woman_n shall_v doubt_v why_o these_o woman_n preach_v this_o resurrection_n the_o lord_n give_v they_o a_o special_a direction_n first_o from_o god_n then_o from_o his_o

this_o history_n at_o large_a only_o we_o have_v thus_o far_o of_o the_o suffering_n of_o jesus_n christ_n in_o the_o garden_n first_o how_o heavy_a â—_o weighty_a a_o thing_n sin_n be_v all_o this_o be_v not_o for_o his_o sin_n but_o for_o our_o sin_n for_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o world_n next_o you_o see_v how_o heavy_a a_o thing_n the_o wrath_n of_o god_n be_v that_o follow_v on_o sin_n for_o as_o jesus_n christ_n take_v on_o his_o back_n the_o burden_n of_o our_o sin_n so_o do_v he_o also_o the_o weight_n of_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n and_o the_o punishment_n that_o follow_v upon_o sin_n if_o you_o know_v not_o this_o you_o know_v nothing_o of_o christ_n three_o you_o see_v the_o greatness_n of_o the_o love_n of_o christ_n to_o man_n that_o first_o take_v on_o his_o back_n so_o

last_o this_o agony_n &_o suffering_n in_o the_o garden_n let_v we_o see_v that_o the_o son_n of_o god_n as_o he_o be_v very_a god_n so_o he_o be_v very_a man_n also_o and_o that_o he_o have_v the_o

the_o soul_n but_o to_o leave_v this_o and_o to_o mark_v the_o purpose_n of_o john_n his_o purpose_n be_v only_o to_o let_v you_o see_v that_o when_o jesus_n christ_n die_v he_o die_v with_o a_o great_a willingness_n and_o readiness_n that_o willing_o he_o go_v to_o death_n and_o be_v not_o draw_v out_o against_o his_o will_n but_o know_v that_o judas_n will_v come_v with_o a_o company_n of_o

of_o john_n to_o let_v we_o see_v that_o jesus_n christ_n offer_v up_o a_o voluntary_a sacrifice_n for_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o world_n for_o except_o he_o have_v offer_v up_o a_o voluntary_a

and_o some_o may_v think_v that_o this_o proceed_v from_o stubburnenesse_n in_o jesus_n no_o brethren_n in_o this_o he_o be_v so_o far_o from_o disobedience_n either_o to_o god_n or_o to_o the_o

know_v well_o that_o it_o be_v the_o will_n of_o his_o father_n in_o heaven_n the_o hour_n be_v come_v and_o therefore_o the_o hour_n come_v he_o will_v not_o help_v himself_o in_o one_o word_n so_o

that_o stand_v before_o the_o shearer_n he_o open_v not_o his_o mouth_n not_o for_o stubburnesse_n but_o he_o be_v patient_a brethren_n some_o will_v marvel_v of_o the_o boldness_n of_o the_o martyr_n when_o they_o suffer_v o_o the_o boldness_n that_o they_o have_v in_o answer_v even_o in_o the_o fire_n they_o suffer_v not_o one_o word_n to_o slâ—p_v but_o they_o answer_v for_o god_n glory_n and_o

albeit_o the_o law_n of_o god_n say_v the_o murderer_n shall_v die_v the_o death_n well_o i_o say_v and_o it_o be_v the_o truth_n that_o be_v as_o much_o as_o to_o give_v he_o a_o absolute_a power_n but_o all_o the_o world_n shall_v not_o give_v he_o such_o a_o power_n he_o may_v well_o usurp_v it_o but_o not_o a_o angel_n in_o heaven_n have_v absolute_a power_n over_o a_o beggar_n to_o put_v

what_o have_v we_o to_o do_v with_o it_o i_o answer_v these_o law_n see_v the_o jew_n and_o their_o commonwealth_n and_o law_n politic_a be_v abrogate_v in_o so_o far_o as_o they_o concern_v that_o

so_o this_o be_v their_o supremacy_n that_o they_o mark_v of_o peter_n above_o the_o rest_n now_o one_o thing_n
believe_v as_o the_o papist_n bid_v thou_o as_o the_o multitude_n believe_v and_o close_v thy_o eye_n thou_o shall_v perish_v with_o the_o multitude_n they_o will_v say_v what_o ado_n have_v thou_o

of_o this_o it_o be_v the_o third_o day_n since_o he_o die_v and_o we_o have_v not_o see_v he_o alas_o i_o fear_v we_o shall_v never_o see_v he_o again_o alas_o he_o will_v never_o redeem_v israel_n he_o dare_v not_o speak_v this_o right_a out_o but_o he_o keep_v it_o in_o his_o mind_n be_v this_o a_o good_a conclusion_n it_o be_v the_o third_o day_n since_o he_o die_v therefore_o he_o can_v redeem_v israel_n he_o shall_v have_v conclude_v it_o be_v the_o third_o day_n since_o he_o die_v therefore_o he_o be_v rise_v in_o glory_n to_o be_v the_o redeemer_n of_o jsrael_n but_o the_o

of_o god_n and_o to_o forget_v they_o there_o be_v nothing_o concern_v christ_n but_o it_o be_v full_o set_v down_o in_o the_o old_a and_o new_a testament_n so_o that_o if_o a_o angel_n will_v come_v

that_o thou_o hear_v not_o and_o so_o forget_v they_o again_o before_o thou_o be_v well_o out_o of_o the_o church_fw-mi it_o be_v a_o wonder_n that_o thou_o shall_v get_v any_o matter_n of_o hope_n

that_o same_o day_n have_v return_v &_o show_v that_o they_o have_v see_v the_o lord_n they_o go_v away_o over_o soon_o to_o emmaus_n but_o look_v what_o he_o conclude_v they_o see_v he_o not_o therefore_o he_o be_v not_o rise_v this_o be_v it_o that_o they_o will_v conclude_v because_o they_o can_v not_o see_v he_o with_o their_o bodily_a eye_n therefore_o they_o look_v never_o to_o see_v

then_o we_o see_v this_o in_o cleopas_n and_o his_o fellow_n suppose_v they_o be_v with_o christ_n and_o shall_v have_v have_v a_o eye_n to_o have_v see_v yet_o they_o be_v mere_a carnal_a for_o
