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 his_o burial_n that_o godhead_n shall_v have_v utter_v itself_o he_o can_v neither_o have_v die_v nor_o yet_o have_v be_v bury_v for_o the_o godhead_n can_v neither_o die_v nor_o be_v bury_v but_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 be_v a_o king_n or_o caesar_n himself_o and_o so_o the_o lord_n in_o his_o burial_n utter_v himself_o to_o be_v a_o lord_n over_o man_n but_o in_o his_o glorious_a resurrection_n he_o utter_v himself_o even_o in_o our_o nature_n not_o only_o to_o be_v lord_n of_o man_n but_o also_o of_o angel_n so_o brethren_n all_o tend_v to_o this_o to_o let_v we_o see_v the_o glory_n of_o the_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

do_v read_v we_o not_o how_o the_o lord_n have_v send_v his_o angel_n to_o fight_v the_o battle_n of_o his_o own_o and_o if_o thou_o will_v seek_v the_o lord_n when_o thou_o be_v go_v any_o way_n thou_o shall_v find_v in_o experience_n that_o the_o lord_n shall_v send_v his_o angel_n before_o thou_o and_o prepare_v thing_n before_o thy_o come_n and_o i_o doubt_v not_o but_o some_o of_o you_o who_o hear_v i_o have_v find_v this_o in_o your_o own_o experience_n in_o such_o sort_n that_o you_o have_v wonder_v at_o that_o bless_a providence_n of_o his_o majesty_n and_o have_v be_v move_v glorify_v he_o now_o there_o be_v another_o thing_n to_o be_v mark_v when_o he_o have_v roll_v the_o stone_n from_o the_o door_n he_o depart_v not_o but_o he_o sit_v down_o and_o abide_v there_o to_o testify_v that_o the_o lord_n jesus_n be_v rise_v so_o you_o see_v the_o first_o witness_n of_o the_o resurrection_n of_o jesus_n christ_n be_v a_o angel_n he_o remain_v sit_v upon_o the_o stone_n 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

the_o sight_n of_o it_o stand_v our_o life_n and_o glory_n alas_o that_o once_o our_o eye_n can_v be_v open_v to_o see_v the_o glory_n of_o our_o redeemer_n sit_v at_o the_o right_a hand_n of_o that_o

the_o poor_a woman_n alas_o a_o earthly_a king_n will_v have_v a_o small_a respect_n to_o the_o poor_a but_o the_o lord_n of_o glory_n have_v a_o great_a respect_n to_o these_o poor_a woman_n indeed_o the_o sight_n of_o the_o emptiness_n of_o the_o grave_n may_v have_v be_v a_o sufficient_a testimony_n to_o they_o of_o christ_n resurrection_n consider_v the_o forewarn_v they_o have_v before_o to_o

strength_n of_o the_o angel_n he_o supply_v their_o faith_n by_o this_o same_o angel_n for_o they_o begin_v to_o doubt_v whether_o he_o be_v rise_v
they_o think_v he_o be_v steal_v away_o yet_o the_o lord_n jesus_n supply_v their_o weakness_n and_o to_o the_o emptiness_n of_o the_o grave_n he_o subjoin_v the_o say_n of_o the_o angel_n the_o

till_o he_o confirm_v thou_o and_o bring_v thou_o to_o perfection_n now_o brethren_n follow_v hereafter_o a_o fair_a description_n of_o this_o angel_n in_o matthew_n first_o he_o be_v describe_v

great_a vantage_n of_o this_o that_o peter_n name_n be_v express_v and_o not_o the_o rest_n this_o special_a direction_n that_o be_v send_v to_o peter_n import_v no_o supremacy_n but_o rather_o if_o you_o consider_v well_o that_o he_o be_v inferior_a to_o they_o all_o it_o import_v this_o plain_o that_o peter_n have_v do_v a_o great_a fault_n by_o the_o threefold_a denial_n of_o the_o lord_n alas_o in_o this_o action_n he_o have_v a_o evil_a conscience_n and_o if_o there_o have_v not_o be_v a_o particular_a direction_n to_o he_o he_o dare_v not_o for_o his_o life_n have_v come_v to_o christ_n think_v you_o that_o a_o man_n that_o have_v deny_v god_n dare_v come_v to_o he_o except_o he_o be_v prevent_v no_o peter_n dare_v not_o for_o his_o life_n have_v look_v to_o the_o lord_n 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
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

history_n be_v plain_a and_o therefore_o i_o go_v forward_o i_o come_v to_o the_o part_n of_o the_o angel_n the_o first_o speech_n be_v somewhat_o rough_a why_o do_v you_o seek_v the_o live_n among_o the_o dead_a why_o do_v you_o this_o then_o he_o come_v on_o and_o say_v he_o be_v not_o here_o he_o be_v rise_v then_o he_o confirm_v it_o by_o a_o reason_n remember_v woman_n what_o he_o say_v to_o you_o when_o he_o be_v with_o you_o in_o galilee_n say_v he_o not_o that_o he_o behoove_v to_o be_v deliver_v into_o the_o hand_n of_o sinful_a man_n and_o be_v crucify_v and_o to_o rise_v again_o the_o three_o day_n this_o be_v the_o meaning_n in_o effect_n then_o where_o he_o begin_v with_o a_o reproof_n there_o must_v be_v a_o fault_n in_o they_o no_o the_o lord_n will_v not_o reproove_v thou_o for_o nothing_o i_o take_v their_o fault_n to_o be_v oblivion_n for_o so_o the_o word_n of_o the_o angel_n import_n they_o have_v forget_v that_o he_o shall_v rise_v the_o third_o day_n suppose_v he_o have_v tell_v they_o well_o brethren_n i_o see_v this_o it_o be_v the_o will_n of_o god_n that_o we_o never_o forget_v his_o word_n &_o more_o i_o see_v if_o thou_o let_v it_o slip_v out_o of_o thy_o mind_n as_o we_o do_v too_o ready_o the_o lord_n will_v reprove_v thou_o but_o in_o his_o reprove_v &_o in_o his_o anger_n he_o never_o forget_v mercy_n &_o lenity_n in_o reprove_v of_o the_o woman_n he_o make_v the_o angel_n to_o instruct_v and_o tell_v they_o that_o he_o be_v rise_v so_o in_o reprove_v of_o thou_o he_o will_v teach_v thou_o and_o it_o learn_v we_o this_o lesson_n always_o in_o all_o reproof_n teach_v they_o who_o thou_o reprove_v if_o thou_o reproove_v they_o without_o a_o care_n to_o instruct_v they_o thy_o reproof_n avail_v nothing_o at_o all_o then_o look_v so_o soon_o as_o his_o anger_n go_v away_o and_o when_o he_o have_v speak_v two_o word_n thereafter_o he_o say_v he_o be_v not_o here_o he_o be_v rise_v remember_v he_o say_v to_o you_o he_o behoove_v to_o suffer_v and_o die_v and_o rise_v the_o three_o day_n so_o we_o learn_v this_o at_o the_o angel_n it_o may_v be_v that_o god_n speak_v a_o word_n of_o anger_n but_o it_o will_v soon_o go_v away_o and_o the_o mercy_n remain_v for_o ever_o and_o when_o he_o have_v lay_v his_o anger_n aside_o he_o teach_v in_o mercy_n and_o i_o speak_v this_o to_o the_o child_n of_o god_n many_o fault_n in_o we_o all_o and_o now_o and_o then_o he_o speak_v in_o anger_n that_o his_o own_o perish_v not_o with_o the_o wicked_a world_n he_o will_v waken_v they_o with_o some_o angry_a word_n and_o think_v as_o thou_o will_v and_o if_o thou_o be_v not_o waken_v with_o some_o angry_a word_n thou_o shall_v die_v in_o thy_o stink_n and_o canker_n of_o thy_o corrupt_a nature_n and_o so_o long_o as_o we_o be_v here_o there_o be_v ever_o some_o matter_n of_o anger_n so_o that_o now_o and_o then_o he_o will_v speak_v to_o thou_o in_o anger_n for_o we_o be_v as_o foolish_a child_n think_v and_o speak_v as_o child_n and_o therefore_o have_v need_n to_o be_v chastise_v but_o when_o we_o be_v perfect_a man_n never_o a_o angry_a word_n nor_o a_o gloom_n shall_v be_v but_o always_o mercy_n and_o pleasure_n for_o ever_o then_o i_o mark_v another_o thing_n in_o the_o angel_n remember_v say_v he_o that_o the_o son_n of_o man_n must_v be_v deliver_v into_o the_o hand_n of_o sinful_a man_n and_o to_o die_v and_o the_o three_o day_n to_o rise_v again_o as_o he_o show_v to_o you_o well_o than_o i_o see_v the_o lord_n he_o forget_v not_o his_o own_o word_n that_o he_o speak_v suppose_v the_o woman_n have_v forget_v it_o no_o the_o lord_n that_o speak_v it_o think_v never_o so_o light_a of_o it_o as_o thou_o do_v thou_o will_v forget_v soon_o and_o thou_o take_v no_o

to_o the_o woman_n the_o woman_n testify_v it_o to_o the_o disciple_n who_o be_v convene_v at_o jerusalem_n and_o namely_o to_o peter_n and_o john_n then_o marie_n come_v forth_o the_o second_o time_n

and_o after_o these_o witness_n you_o hear_v the_o last_o day_n we_o return_v to_o other_o two_o witness_n who_o both_o be_v the_o disciple_n of_o the_o lord_n the_o one_o be_v name_v cleopas_n but_o

and_o he_o bind_v up_o their_o eye_n so_o that_o they_o can_v not_o know_v nor_o discern_v he_o suppose_v they_o have_v follow_v he_o and_o have_v be_v with_o he_o long_a time_n before_o thus_o far_o we_o hear_v the_o last_o day_n now_o we_o follow_v out_o the_o rest_n of_o this_o history_n and_o in_o this_o text_n which_o present_o we_o have_v read_v we_o have_v the_o communication_n which_o be_v

to_o other_o the_o lord_n begin_v the_o conference_n and_o he_o demand_v of_o they_o first_o what_o manner_n of_o communication_n it_o be_v that_o they_o have_v while_o as_o they_o be_v in_o the_o

something_o of_o they_o as_o they_o walk_v out_o the_o way_n you_o see_v they_o have_v be_v sad_a and_o their_o speech_n and_o communication_n by_o appearance_n have_v be_v a_o moanful_a complaint_n which_o they_o make_v concern_v christ_n not_o vain_a and_o idle_a talk_n nor_o rejoice_v in_o the_o tiding_n but_o all_o their_o talk_n and_o speech_n come_v from_o sad_a and_o heavy_a heart_n but_o while_o they_o be_v sad_a the_o lord_n come_v to_o they_o and_o he_o come_v to_o comfort_v they_o well_o be_v that_o soul_n that_o be_v sad_a and_o mourn_v for_o christ_n and_o his_o church_fw-mi for_o that_o soul_n shall_v get_v consolation_n out_o of_o christ_n mouth_n but_o if_o where_o there_o be_v matter_n of_o mourning_n thou_o be_v merry_a than_o the_o lord_n will_v not_o come_v to_o

for_o a_o matter_n that_o be_v joyful_a than_o to_o be_v glad_a in_o a_o sad_a matter_n choose_v rather_o to_o be_v sad_a for_o christ_n than_o to_o be_v merry_a or_o over_o wanton_a and_o if_o thou_o

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 with_o the_o bible_n thou_o have_v no_o more_o ado_n but_o believe_v as_o the_o church_n believe_v but_o i_o say_v unto_o thou_o it_o shall_v happen_v unto_o thou_o as_o it_o happen_v unto_o cleopas_n

cleopas_n this_o be_v the_o three_o day_n since_o he_o be_v crucify_v and_o dead_a yet_o we_o hear_v nothing_o as_o he_o will_v say_v once_o dead_a and_o ay_o dead_a mark_v what_o he_o will_v gather_v 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 ignorant_a man_n know_v not_o the_o scripture_n of_o god_n as_o christ_n say_v to_o he_o hereafter_o for_o christ_n have_v foretell_v that_o he_o will_v rise_v the_o third_o day_n and_o yet_o he_o have_v forget_v it_o and_o so_o he_o conclude_v i_o shall_v never_o see_v he_o and_o he_o can_v be_v the_o redeemer_n then_o you_o see_v what_o it_o be_v to_o be_v ignorant_a of_o the_o scripture_n 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 down_o from_o heaven_n he_o can_v tell_v no_o more_o in_o substance_n yet_o if_o thou_o will_v not_o look_v to_o they_o but_o close_o thy_o eye_n that_o thou_o see_v not_o and_o stop_v thy_o ear_n 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 no_o thou_o shall_v find_v nothing_o but_o matter_n of_o desperation_n whosoever_o therefore_o will_v have_v matter_n of_o joy_n in_o the_o heart_n and_o have_v joy_n in_o their_o distress_n let_v

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
