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

die_v to_o
say_v who_o seek_v you_o here_o and_o when_o they_o say_v jesus_n of_o nazareth_n than_o he_o answer_v i_o be_o he_o these_o word_n do_v testify_v that_o witting_o and_o willing_o he_o offer_v himself_o to_o be_v take_v and_o if_o you_o mark_v you_o shall_v see_v in_o his_o answer_n such_o mildness_n as_o be_v unspeakable_a he_o begin_v not_o to_o speak_v in_o wrath_n and_o when_o they_o say_v jesus_n of_o nazareth_n he_o give_v not_o a_o answer_n scornful_o so_o that_o as_o he_o offer_v himself_o willing_o so_o you_o see_v also_o such_o a_o mildness_n in_o he_o when_o he_o be_v take_v even_o as_o the_o scripture_n speak_v as_o he_o have_v be_v a_o lamb_n so_o that_o you_o see_v that_o neither_o in_o word_n nor_o deed_n he_o utter_v any_o thing_n to_o hinder_v his_o

next_o to_o let_v we_o see_v that_o impudency_n of_o the_o traitor_n judas_n how_o dare_v he_o face_v the_o lord_n jesus_n who_o he_o betray_v a_o traitor_n be_v ay_o impudent_a and_o shameless_a he_o have_v ay_o a_o hard_a heart_n and_o then_o a_o brazen_a face_n to_o the_o man_n who_o he_o have_v betray_v you_o see_v how_o dangerous_a a_o thing_n it_o be_v once_o to_o harden_v the_o heart_n against_o christ_n and_o once_o to_o begin_v to_o do_v evil_a against_o conscience_n if_o thy_o heart_n begin_v once_o to_o be_v endure_v thou_o shall_v not_o come_v back_o whilst_o thou_o come_v to_o

he_o come_v to_o that_o final_a induration_n and_o hardness_n of_o heart_n therefore_o far_o be_v it_o from_o we_o once_o to_o begin_v to_o harden_v our_o heart_n against_o the_o lord_n if_o thou_o
