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 greatness_n of_o her_o love_n and_o we_o know_v there_o be_v nothing_o more_o usual_a in_o holy_a scripture_n then_o in_o the_o same_o latitude_n of_o term_n to_o forbid_v the_o excess_n of_o action_n as_o if_o the_o action_n themselves_o be_v forbid_v i_o will_v have_v mercy_n and_o not_o sacrifice_v that_o be_v not_o sacrifice_v in_o comparison_n of_o mercy_n labour_v not_o for_o the_o meat_n that_o perise_v take_v no_o thought_n for_o tomorrow_o that_o be_v no_o labour_n no_o thought_n in_o respect_n of_o the_o thought_n and_o labour_n for_o that_o meat_n which_o endure_v to_o everlasting_a life_n so_o here_o touch_v i_o not_o that_o be_v do_v not_o too_o long_o lie_v prostrate_a at_o my_o foot_n do_v not_o dwell_v upon_o your_o salutation_n or_o as_o we_o use_v to_o say_v do_v not_o hang_v upon_o i_o second_o that_o such_o be_v the_o ignorance_n not_o of_o mary_n only_o but_o of_o all_o the_o disciple_n in_o this_o great_a mystery_n of_o christ_n rise_v from_o the_o
