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

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

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

and_o how_o far_o his_o nature_n be_v repugnant_a to_o that_o call_n we_o will_v think_v that_o of_o all_o thing_n in_o the_o world_n it_o be_v most_o hard_a and_o most_o painful_a it_o be_v a_o

even_o the_o most_o miserable_a sinner_n to_o seek_v for_o mercy_n and_o grace_n in_o christ_n when_o paul_n preach_v where_o sin_n abound_v there_o grace_n and_o mercy_n superabounde_v if_o he_o
