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

certain_o i_o must_v ascribe_v this_o to_o a_o wonderful_a love_n of_o this_o woman_n there_o be_v no_o man_n that_o can_v express_v sufficient_o this_o love_n that_o she_o bear_v to_o christ_n no_o

of_o necessity_n love_v cause_v they_o to_o mourn_v for_o he_o and_o this_o sponke_n of_o love_n that_o be_v cover_v &_o keep_v down_o afore_o in_o end_n it_o break_v out_o &_o burn_v through_o all_o

so_o well_o and_o so_o entire_o in_o the_o word_n follow_v to_o wit_n in_o the_o gospel_n of_o matthew_n there_o be_v two_o discourse_n the_o first_o be_v of_o the_o two_o company_n of_o woman_n at_o

of_o they_o that_o be_v set_v to_o keep_v the_o grave_n who_o return_v to_o the_o scribe_n and_o to_o the_o high_a priest_n with_o these_o same_o tiding_n he_o be_v rise_v again_o now_o i_o shall_v

with_o the_o lord_n as_o they_o return_v homeward_o you_o will_v perhaps_o ask_v what_o be_v the_o cause_n that_o he_o meet_v with_o marie_n magdalene_n no_o doubt_v this_o be_v the_o cause_n she_o love_v he_o best_o she_o love_v he_o above_o they_o all_o and_o she_o have_v the_o great_a languor_n to_o see_v he_o and_o she_o rest_v never_o till_o she_o have_v see_v he_o and_o meet_v with_o he_o what_o be_v the_o cause_n that_o these_o woman_n see_v he_o afore_o the_o apostle_n no_o question_n their_o languor_n to_o see_v jesus_n be_v next_o to_o marie_n the_o apostle_n languor_n be_v last_o and_o therefore_o they_o get_v the_o last_o sight_n of_o he_o now_o the_o lesson_n be_v easy_a thou_o that_o long_v most_o for_o the_o lord_n jesus_n shall_v see_v he_o first_o with_o marry_o magdalene_n a_o man_n will_v thirst_v for_o earthly_a thing_n and_o be_v disappoint_v of_o they_o but_o it_o be_v unpossible_a if_o thou_o thirst_v for_o christ_n and_o to_o see_v thy_o lord_n but_o

to_o see_v he_o with_o marie_n magdalene_n yet_o be_v next_o in_o care_n with_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o woman_n and_o if_o thou_o can_v not_o attain_v to_o the_o first_o nor_o second_o look_v that_o thou_o be_v in_o the_o three_o room_n at_o least_o that_o thou_o long_o with_o the_o apostle_n and_o thou_o shall_v get_v the_o third_o sight_n for_o bless_a be_v they_o that_o get_v any_o sight_n

wherefore_o our_o heart_n do_v draw_v near_o unto_o the_o lord_n be_v not_o in_o we_o but_o in_o he_o because_o he_o thirst_v for_o we_o and_o draw_v we_o unto_o he_o and_o will_v thou_o have_v a_o
