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

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 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

follow_v the_o next_o what_o see_v they_o they_o see_v in_o the_o shape_n of_o a_o young_a man_n a_o angel_n clad_v with_o a_o long_a robe_n from_o top_n to_o toe_n i_o take_v this_o angel_n to_o be_v

that_o the_o lord_n be_v rise_v in_o the_o grave_n he_o may_v instruct_v they_o better_o by_o the_o emptiness_n and_o roomenesse_n of_o the_o grave_n that_o the_o lord_n be_v rise_v from_o the_o

he_o be_v a_o minister_n of_o mercy_n to_o the_o godly_a woman_n i_o say_v more_o at_o that_o same_o time_n whilst_o as_o he_o chase_v away_o the_o wicked_a in_o do_v of_o that_o he_o show_v mercy_n to_o the_o godly_a and_o he_o terrify_v the_o wicked_a that_o they_o shall_v not_o be_v a_o stop_n or_o terror_n to_o the_o godly_a all_o the_o terror_n and_o judgement_n of_o the_o wicked_a as_o they_o serve_v to_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n so_o they_o serve_v for_o the_o well_o of_o his_o own_o for_o the_o lord_n have_v not_o only_o his_o own_o glory_n before_o his_o eye_n but_o also_o of_o the_o â—ell_o of_o his_o own_o then_o consider_v again_o the_o circumstance_n of_o the_o place_n wherein_o the_o angel_n teach_v these_o woman_n the_o resurrection_n of_o jesus_n christ_n the_o father_n of_o heaven_n be_v very_o careful_a of_o every_o circumstance_n that_o serve_v for_o the_o testimony_n of_o christ_n resurrection_n first_o he_o be_v careful_a of_o the_o
and_o prediction_n which_o be_v foretell_v of_o christ_n be_v much_o worth_n for_o they_o have_v this_o use_n when_o thou_o read_v they_o in_o that_o old_a testament_n they_o seal_v up_o the_o word_n
