9_o and_o with_o this_o interior_a cross_n thou_o must_v consider_v that_o he_o be_v crucify_v all_o the_o day_n of_o his_o life_n &_o so_o thou_o will_v not_o marvel_v at_o what_o be_v write_v of_o

iii_o for_o who_o 1._o the_o three_o circumstance_n be_v to_o consider_v for_o who_o our_o saviour_n suffer_v all_o this_o for_o if_o he_o have_v suffer_v it_o for_o one_o who_o have_v deserve_v it_o and_o will_v have_v be_v thankful_a for_o it_o it_o will_v not_o have_v be_v a_o thing_n so_o much_o to_o be_v admire_v or_o if_o he_o have_v suffer_v it_o for_o person_n of_o great_a account_n and_o

suffer_v it_o general_o for_o all_o without_o exclude_v any_o which_o if_o it_o have_v be_v only_o for_o his_o friend_n it_o have_v not_o be_v so_o much_o but_o to_o suffer_v it_o for_o his_o enemy_n and_o those_o who_o actual_o do_v offend_v he_o and_o abhor_v he_o without_o exclude_v even_o those_o who_o be_v torment_v he_o accuse_v and_o condemn_v he_o to_o death_n this_o do_v extol_v very_o much_o the_o charity_n of_o our_o most_o benign_a redeemer_n that_o man_n mad_a with_o envy_n be_v some_o accuse_v he_o other_o bringing_z false_a witness_n against_o he_o other_o whip_v he_o other_o

that_o he_o suffer_v for_o they_o the_o same_o torment_n which_o they_o lie_v upon_o he_o and_o wish_v they_o so_o much_o good_a that_o if_o it_o be_v necessary_a to_o gain_v any_o one_o soul_n of_o they_o he_o will_v suffer_v again_o so_o much_o more_o this_o be_v a_o thing_n worthy_a to_o be_v consider_v 2._o and_o that_o which_o import_v much_o to_o draw_v fruit_n out_o of_o this_o

merit_n which_o he_o get_v with_o they_o as_o if_o for_o he_o only_o he_o have_v suffer_v and_o so_o thou_o ought_v to_o consider_v this_o one_o thing_n which_o be_v so_o indeed_o that_o when_o

be_v never_o do_v harm_n to_o any_o but_o good_a to_o all_o so_o that_o the_o cause_n be_v well_o examine_v it_o be_v find_v that_o there_o be_v no_o other_o of_o his_o part_n but_o his_o bounty_n and_o mercy_n and_o those_o bowel_n of_o infinite_a charity_n with_o which_o he_o take_v compassion_n of_o the_o misery_n of_o man_n who_o be_v all_o condemn_v to_o eternal_a death_n and_o have_v no_o

offence_n and_o from_o eternal_a pain_n which_o they_o deserve_v for_o they_o without_o any_o necessity_n profit_n or_o interest_n of_o his_o part_n 2._o and_o conformable_a to_o this_o you_o must_v consider_v very_o well_o as_o you_o meditate_v any_o thing_n that_o our_o saviour_n suffer_v that_o he_o suffer_v it_o of_o his_o own_o free_a will_n &_o may_v have_v excuse_v it_o if_o he_o will_v and_o he_o will_v not_o but_o suffer_v so_o great_a pain_n and_o torment_n only_o for_o our_o good_a this_o be_v the_o cause_n which_o be_v of_o his_o part_n for_o which_o he_o suffer_v to_o wit_n

consider_v the_o point_n follow_v 1._o first_o that_o he_o suffer_v of_o his_o own_o choose_a and_o elect_v people_n of_o who_o he_o in_o particular_a be_v lord_n and_o king_n to_o who_o he_o have_v

the_o three_o that_o he_o suffer_v of_o his_o cruel_a enemy_n who_o for_o the_o space_n of_o two_o year_n have_v seek_v his_o life_n and_o to_o dishonour_v he_o &_o will_v have_v drink_v his_o blood_n

torment_v he_o be_v the_o public_a executioner_n who_o be_v wont_a to_o punish_v the_o malefactor_n if_o it_o be_v not_o that_o perhaps_o the_o chief_a priest_n do_v commit_v this_o to_o some_o base_a servant_n of_o their_o own_o that_o they_o may_v torment_v he_o with_o the_o more_o cruelty_n of_o he_o that_o give_v he_o the_o buffet_n say_v s._n john_n the_o evangelist_n that_o he_o be_v a_o

of_o great_a and_o small_a of_o the_o principal_a &_o of_o the_o common_a sort_n all_o it_o seem_v concur_v against_o he_o and_o those_o who_o six_o day_n before_o have_v do_v he_o so_o great_a

far_o great_a be_v his_o charity_n by_o the_o which_o he_o be_v prepare_v to_o suffer_v much_o more_o if_o it_o have_v
be_v necessary_a for_o us._n and_o this_o be_v a_o circumstance_n which_o ought_v to_o be_v very_o well_o consider_v 2._o the_o second_o point_n be_v that_o our_o lord_n suffer_v without_o any_o kind_n of_o case_n or_o comfort_n either_o of_o heaven_n or_o earth_n which_o never_o fall_v out_o so_o to_o the_o martyr_n and_o other_o who_o have_v suffer_v for_o his_o sake_n that_o how_o much_o

so_o much_o vain_a glory_n consider_v his_o patience_n be_v confound_v to_o see_v himself_o so_o impatient_a and_o the_o like_a of_o the_o other_o virtue_n §._o iii_o of_o the_o affect_n of_o

himself_o bind_v to_o he_o that_o do_v it_o the_o second_o point_n be_v to_o give_v he_o thanks_n again_o that_o be_v with_o word_n and_o hart_n for_o the_o benefit_n bestow_v upon_o he_o and_o in_o all_o occation_n he_o must_v confess_v it_o and_o praise_v it_o the_o three_o to_o recompense_v by_o work_n according_a to_o his_o ability_n the_o benefit_n receive_v 2._o this_o affect_v be_v

our_o own_o proper_a sin_n we_o be_v by_o just_a sentence_n condemn_v to_o eternal_a pain_n of_o hell_n and_o banish_v for_o ever_o from_o glory_n and_o give_v up_o into_o the_o power_n of_o the_o

that_o his_o majesty_n will_v by_o reason_n of_o the_o abundance_n of_o his_o charity_n that_o our_o redemption_n may_v be_v more_o copious_a offer_v all_o his_o life_n death_n and_o passion_n as_o a_o total_a price_n of_o our_o redemption_n 3._o and_o here_o must_v be_v ponder_v beside_o the_o greatness_n of_o the_o benefit_n these_o four_o point_n the_o first_o who_o be_v he_o that_o do_v it_o to_o wit_n the_o son_n of_o god_n himself_o who_o trouble_v no_o creature_n to_o redeem_v and_o deliver_v we_o but_o himself_o in_o person_n will_v do_v it_o the_o second_o that_o he_o bestow_v

the_o mind_n prepare_v to_o do_v much_o more_o if_o it_o have_v be_v necessary_a for_o us._n the_o four_o to_o consider_v every_o one_o of_o these_o benefit_n as_o if_o they_o have_v be_v do_v only_o to_o thyself_o and_o this_o be_v as_o much_o as_o touch_v the_o first_o point_n which_o be_v to_o acknowledge_v and_o esteem_v the_o benefit_n and_o be_v mindful_a of_o it_o 4._o the_o second_o point_n must_v be_v to_o give_v thank_n to_o god_n very_o hearty_o for_o all_o he_o have_v do_v and_o suffer_v for_o we_o and_o for_o every_o passage_n of_o his_o life_n acknowledge_v that_o if_o all_o our_o member_n shall_v be_v convert_v into_o tongue_n and_o heart_n &_o shall_v praise_v he_o we_o shall_v not_o answer_v to_o the_o least_o drop_n of_o blood_n which_o he_o shed_v for_o we_o

in_o gratitude_n will_v it_o be_v if_o to_o any_o person_n of_o who_o we_o have_v receive_v great_a benefit_n we_o may_v do_v some_o little_a service_n &_o will_v not_o do_v it_o and_o so_o thou_o

the_o benefit_n and_o grace_n which_o be_v in_o christ_n do_v turn_v to_o our_o profit_n for_o he_o make_v we_o participate_v of_o they_o all_o §._o four_o of_o the_o affect_n of_o admiration_n admiration_n be_v cause_v at_o the_o sight_n of_o a_o thing_n that_o be_v rare_a extraordinary_a and_o marvellous_a for_o see_v it_o and_o not_o know_v the_o cause_n of_o it_o a_o man_n remain_v

in_o the_o holy_a mystery_n of_o christ_n our_o saviour_n that_o which_o must_v cause_v admiration_n be_v to_o consider_v those_o inestimable_a riches_n of_o charity_n with_o which_o god_n love_v
