grave_n but_o for_o we_o man_n and_o for_o our_o sin_n he_o die_v yet_o he_o suffer_v those_o dead_a and_o senseless_a creature_n to_o weep_v and_o to_o have_v a_o lively_a feel_n of_o his_o death_n though_o they_o have_v no_o benefit_n of_o his_o death_n but_o be_v content_a himself_o to_o shed_v his_o own_o heart_n blood_n for_o we_o yet_o will_v not_o suffer_v we_o in_o recompense_n to_o shed_v so_o much_o as_o one_o little_a tear_n for_o he_o in_o that_o he_o say_v weep_v not_o for_o i_o three_o and_o last_o his_o magnanimity_n in_o that_o he_o say_v not_o for_o i_o appear_v in_o that_o hold_v now_o in_o his_o hand_n the_o cup_n of_o tremble_a and_o be_v ready_a to_o drink_v of_o the_o very_a dregs_n of_o it_o yet_o neither_o his_o hand_n nor_o his_o heart_n tremble_v ennius_n the_o poet_n can_v say_v nemo_fw-la i_o lachrymis_fw-la decoret_fw-la nec_fw-la funera_fw-la fletu_fw-la let_v no_o man_n weep_v for_o my_o death_n and_o saint_n laurence_n the_o martyr_n as_o

can_v never_o come_v near_o christian_n in_o true_a magnanimity_n so_o saint_n laurence_n or_o any_o christian_n can_v never_o come_v near_o christ._n paul_n of_o any_o i_o hear_v of_o come_v near_o he_o go_v towards_o jerusalem_n what_o do_v you_o say_v he_o weeping_z and_o break_v my_o heart_n for_o i_o be_o ready_a not_o only_o to_o be_v bind_v but_o to_o die_v for_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ._n even_o so_o say_v christ_n here_o or_o rather_o indeed_o not_o so_o but_o a_o thousand_o time_n more_o courageous_o go_v out_o of_o jerusalem_n what_o do_v you_o say_v he_o weeping_z and_o break_v my_o heart_n for_o i_o be_o ready_a not_o to_o be_v bind_v but_o to_o die_v for_o the_o salvation_n of_o man_n he_o know_v well_o enough_o that_o his_o passion_n will_v be_v a_o new_a kind_n of_o transfiguration_n unto_o he_o for_o at_o his_o transfiguration_n he_o be_v accompany_v with_o his_o disciple_n peter_n james_n and_o john_n but_o at_o his_o passion_n peter_n deny_v he_o james_n and_o john_n forsake_v he_o there_o he_o be_v upon_o mount_n tabor_n which_o smell_v sweet_o of_o herb_n and_o flower_n but_o here_o he_o be_v upon_o mount_n caluarie_n which_o smell_v lothsome_o of_o bone_n and_o dead_a man_n skull_n and_o there_o his_o face_n do_v shine_v as_o the_o sun_n but_o here_o his_o face_n be_v buffet_v and_o spit_v upon_o &_o then_o his_o garment_n be_v white_a as_o the_o light_n but_o here_o his_o garment_n be_v part_v and_o he_o himself_o whip_v stark_o naked_a and_o there_o he_o be_v between_o two_o famous_a prophet_n moses_n and_o elias_n but_o here_o he_o be_v between_o two_o thief_n the_o one_o on_o his_o right_a hand_n the_o other_o upon_o his_o left_a and_o there_o his_o father_n speak_v joyful_o to_o he_o from_o heaven_n this_o be_v my_o belove_a son_n but_o here_o he_o schrich_v lamentable_o unto_o his_o father_n from_o the_o cross_n my_o god_n my_o god_n why_o have_v thou_o forsake_v i_o yet_o behold_v the_o magnanimity_n of_o christ_n christ_n know_v well_o enough_o before_o hand_n of_o this_o whole_a passion_n prepare_v for_o he_o when_o as_o he_o be_v not_o transfigure_v as_o before_o bt_v disgrace_v so_o as_o never_o be_v any_o man_n yet_o nothing_o can_v move_v he_o oh_o worthy_a resolution_n the_o like_a whereof_o be_v never_o hear_v of_o before_o this_o fearfulness_n of_o his_o disciple_n this_o noysomenes_n of_o the_o place_n the_o buffet_n the_o nakedness_n those_o thief_n those_o schriche_n can_v not_o a_o whit_n daunt_v his_o heroycal_a hart_n but_o even_o as_o a_o noble_a champion_n have_v already_o have_v a_o leg_n and_o a_o arm_n slash_v off_o when_o all_o the_o stage_n in_o admiration_n of_o his_o valour_n and_o manhood_n cry_n save_o the_o man_n save_o the_o man_n yet_o put_v out_o himself_o and_o stand_v upon_o one_o leg_n and_o strike_v with_o one_o arm_n fight_v still_o as_o stout_o as_o if_o he_o have_v not_o be_v hurt_v at_o all_o so_o christ_n have_v be_v scourge_v and_o scorn_v already_o when_o the_o whole_a centre_n of_o heaven_n and_o earth_n weep_v for_o he_o yea_o when_o the_o power_n above_o the_o heaven_n come_v down_o and_o the_o dead_a under_o the_o the_o earth_n rise_v up_o to_o moan_n and_o pity_v he_o only_o he_o himself_o will_v ask_v no_o favour_n of_o other_o nor_o show_v favour_n to_o himself_o but_o be_v very_o angry_a with_o they_o that_o give_v he_o such_o counsel_n and_o though_o all_o the_o saint_n in_o heaven_n and_o earth_n do_v bleed_v at_o the_o very_a heart_n in_o a_o manner_n even_o as_o much_o as_o he_o himself_o do_v be_v upon_o the_o cross_n to_o see_v so_o good_a a_o man_n to_o be_v despise_v yet_o nothing_o will_v stay_v he_o but_o still_o he_o go_v on_o forward_o as_o pleasant_o and_o cheerful_o as_o to_o any_o banquet_n or_o feast_n to_o that_o most_o ruthful_a and_o dreadful_a death_n thus_o you_o see_v in_o this_o seven_o part_n the_o wisdom_n the_o benignity_n &_o magnanimity_n of_o christ_n in_o that_o he_o say_v weep_v not_o for_o i_o the_o eight_o part_n which_o be_v the_o last_o now_o only_o remain_v but_o weep_v for_o yourselves_o wherein_o we_o must_v consider_v likewise_o three_o virtue_n that_o ought_v to_o be_v in_o we_o first_o devotion_n second_o compunction_n three_o compassion_n first_o devotion_n in_o weep_v for_o this_o life_n second_o compunction_n in_o weep_v at_o the_o heart_n three_o compassion_n in_o weep_v for_o our_o own_o life_n first_o for_o devotion_n a_o man_n may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v devout_a in_o prayer_n to_o be_v devout_a in_o speak_v &_o to_o be_v devout_a in_o meditate_v devout_a in_o thanksgiving_n but_o we_o understand_v that_o devotion_n which_o cause_v we_o to_o break_v forth_o into_o tear_n and_o in_o weep_v for_o ourselves_o we_o must_v be_v devout_a we_o must_v persuade_v ourselves_o that_o we_o be_v out_o of_o our_o own_o country_n &_o that_o the_o heaven_n which_o we_o possess_v not_o yet_o be_v the_o country_n which_o we_o shall_v desire_v if_o christ_n wish_v they_o of_o jerusalem_fw-la here_o to_o weep_v for_o themselves_o and_o do_v himself_o elsewhere_o weep_v for_o jerusalem_n saying_n oh_o jerusalem_fw-la jerusalem_fw-la how_o oft_o will_v i_o etc._n etc._n but_o you_o will_v not_o how_o much_o more_o they_o ought_v we_o to_o weep_v for_o this_o life_n they_o of_o jerusalem_fw-la which_o be_v carry_v captive_a into_o babylon_n endure_v threescore_o and_o ten_o year_n now_o just_a so_o long_o last_v our_o life_n as_o the_o psalmist_n say_v and_o so_o by_o this_o account_n our_o whole_a life_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o the_o captivity_n of_o babylon_n therefore_o we_o may_v well_o say_v by_o the_o water_n of_o babylon_n we_o sit_v down_o and_o weep_v when_o we_o remember_v thou_o oh_o zion_n and_o psalm_n 42._o my_o tear_n have_v be_v my_o meat_n day_n and_o night_n while_o they_o say_v to_o i_o where_o be_v now_o thy_o god_n and_o in_o another_o place_n woe_n be_v i_o that_o i_o be_o constrain_v to_o dwell_v with_o mesech_n &_o to_o have_v my_o habitation_n among_o the_o tent_n of_o kedar_n jerusalem_n be_v once_o final_o sack_v by_o titus_n and_o vespasian_n whereas_o beside_o a_o infinite_a number_n that_o be_v otherwise_o spoil_v ten_o hundred_o thousand_o man_n ten_o hundred_o thousand_o man_n i_o say_v be_v slay_v down_o altogether_o as_o josephus_n a_o greek_a writer_n egesipphus_fw-la a_o hebrew_n writer_n testify_v but_o that_o which_o happen_v once_o to_o they_o happen_v daily_o to_o we_o we_o die_v daily_o our_o whole_a life_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o such_o a_o fooyle_n and_o sackage_n &_o among_o all_o the_o misery_n of_o this_o life_n nothing_o be_v more_o miserable_a than_o this_o life_n itself_o so_o that_o the_o only_a happiness_n we_o can_v have_v in_o this_o life_n be_v a_o true_a and_o a_o godly_a bewail_v of_o our_o unhappiness_n which_o make_v our_o saviour_n say_v woe_n be_v unto_o you_o which_o laugh_v now_o for_o you_o shall_v weep_v but_o on_o the_o other_o side_n bless_a be_v they_o that_o mourn_v for_o they_o shall_v be_v comfort_v therefore_o job_n desire_v god_n to_o spare_v he_o a_o little_a and_o let_v he_o live_v a_o while_n long_o wherefore_o that_o he_o may_v laugh_v and_o that_o he_o may_v be_v merry_a no_o say_v he_o but_o ut_fw-la plangam_fw-la delorem_fw-la meum_fw-la that_o i_o may_v weep_v for_o my_o woe_n &_o grief_n he_o think_v that_o a_o man_n can_v not_o have_v time_n enough_o in_o this_o life_n though_o it_o be_v never_o so_o long_o to_o lament_v &_o rue_v the_o misery_n of_o this_o life_n
