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 obedience_n to_o his_o father_n this_o than_o be_v the_o thing_n that_o john_n recommend_v unto_o we_o and_o let_v we_o see_v even_o that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v willing_a to_o die_v and_o this_o lesson_n we_o shall_v all_o learn_v if_o it_o shall_v please_v god_n to_o call_v any_o of_o we_o to_o suffer_v for_o jesus_n christ_n sake_n that_o we_o suffer_v with_o such_o willingness_n and_o pleasure_n that_o we_o run_v to_o death_n and_o embrace_v it_o with_o our_o arm_n let_v this_o mildness_n utter_v itself_o in_o all_o thy_o do_n away_o with_o that_o scorn_v if_o thou_o will_v be_v like_o jesus_n christ_n die_v in_o peace_n &_o willing_o look_v not_o to_o the_o instrument_n nor_o the_o hangman_n who_o put_v hand_n in_o thou_o but_o lift_v thy_o heart_n to_o the_o god_n of_o heaven_n and_o say_v o_o lord_n see_v that_o it_o be_v thy_o will_n that_o i_o die_v my_o eye_n be_v on_o thou_o and_o as_o jesus_n christ_n offer_v himself_o willing_o to_o be_v a_o sacrifice_n for_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o world_n even_o so_o be_o i_o willing_a to_o obey_v thy_o will_n it_o be_v note_v that_o judas_n be_v among_o the_o rest_n and_o no_o question_n the_o eye_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v on_o he_o but_o never_o a_o word_n he_o speak_v to_o he_o now_o i_o think_v that_o this_o stand_n of_o judas_n be_v mention_v to_o let_v we_o see_v two_o thing_n the_o first_o be_v that_o patient_a suffering_n of_o jesus_n christ_n he_o begin_v not_o to_o upbraid_v he_o and_o to_o speak_v angry_a word_n to_o he_o or_o to_o look_v to_o he_o angrylie_o some_o will_v have_v think_v that_o the_o lord_n see_v judas_n may_v have_v say_v to_o he_o well_o traitor_n be_v thou_o there_o who_o have_v betray_v i_o no_o he_o give_v he_o not_o a_o angry_a look_n he_o be_v even_o a_o very_a lamb_n as_o the_o prophet_n speak_v of_o he_o a_o lamb_n without_o anger_n either_o in_o look_n or_o in_o word_n but_o in_o suffer_v he_o use_v such_o a_o mildness_n and_o patience_n as_o be_v wonderful_a 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 extreme_a induration_n and_o at_o last_o to_o perdition_n judas_n can_v never_o come_v back_o after_o that_o once_o his_o heart_n be_v harden_v against_o the_o lord_n but_o past_o forward_a till_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 begin_v once_o thou_o shall_v grow_v in_o hardness_n till_o thou_o come_v to_o that_o final_a induration_n lord_n save_v we_o from_o that_o sin_n the_o hardness_n of_o heart_n against_o the_o truth_n and_o against_o jesus_n christ_n it_o be_v to_o be_v fear_v that_o these_o man_n who_o with_o the_o betrayer_n of_o jesus_n christ_n have_v set_v their_o face_n against_o christ_n &_o his_o true_a religion_n &_o against_o their_o native_a country_n and_o go_v forward_o in_o such_o induration_n and_o obstinacy_n of_o heart_n that_o they_o shall_v come_v to_o that_o part_n of_o judas_n and_o it_o be_v a_o rare_a thing_n to_o see_v a_o man_n who_o have_v go_v so_o far_o forward_o in_o induration_n come_v ever_o back_o again_o to_o grace_n now_o we_o have_v the_o effect_n that_o follow_v on_o this_o word_n that_o he_o speak_v i_o be_o he_o for_o these_o word_n be_v no_o soon_o speak_v albeit_o they_o be_v few_o and_o gentle_a but_o they_o be_v all_o amaze_v tremble_v and_o fall_v down_o backward_o to_o the_o ground_n it_o be_v a_o admirable_a thing_n that_o one_o word_n and_o that_o so_o mild_o speak_v shall_v have_v wrought_v such_o a_o effect_n for_o it_o be_v such_o a_o word_n as_o they_o will_v have_v wish_v for_o it_o be_v very_o wondrous_a that_o such_o a_o gentle_a word_n shall_v as_o a_o whirlwind_n or_o as_o a_o flash_n of_o fire_n so_o have_v strike_v they_o no_o question_n this_o be_v to_o let_v they_o see_v that_o the_o lord_n need_v not_o to_o have_v be_v take_v with_o they_o except_o it_o have_v be_v his_o own_o will_n no_o it_o be_v not_o possible_a for_o they_o to_o touch_v one_o hair_n of_o his_o head_n for_o he_o say_v himself_o in_o the_o 10._o chap._n and_o 18._o vers_fw-la of_o this_o gospel_n no_o man_n take_v my_o life_n from_o i_o i_o have_v power_n to_o lay_v it_o down_o and_o to_o take_v it_o up_o again_o so_o the_o lord_n by_o this_o wonderful_a effect_n of_o that_o word_n i_o be_o he_o will_v let_v they_o know_v that_o they_o have_v no_o power_n to_o lay_v hand_n on_o he_o if_o it_o have_v not_o be_v his_o own_o will_n and_o no_o doubt_n he_o have_v have_v a_o respect_n unto_o they_o howbeit_o they_o be_v enemy_n to_o he_o yet_o he_o wish_v they_o well_o and_o by_o the_o strike_n of_o they_o to_o the_o ground_n he_o will_v let_v they_o see_v that_o if_o they_o encounter_v with_o he_o they_o will_v die_v and_o he_o will_v let_v they_o see_v his_o power_n that_o he_o may_v cause_v they_o to_o repent_v or_o else_o to_o make_v they_o unexcusable_a and_o to_o let_v they_o see_v that_o he_o be_v the_o lord_n of_o glory_n and_o that_o they_o put_v hand_n to_o the_o lord_n of_o glory_n and_o slay_v the_o lord_n of_o life_n we_o may_v gather_v of_o the_o effect_n of_o this_o word_n that_o if_o such_o a_o sober_a and_o gentle_a word_n come_v out_o of_o the_o mouth_n of_o jesus_n christ_n do_v drive_v they_o upon_o their_o back_n and_o cast_v they_o to_o the_o ground_n what_o if_o jesus_n christ_n have_v speak_v a_o angry_a word_n what_o force_n will_v that_o have_v have_v if_o the_o bleat_a of_o a_o lamb_n have_v such_o a_o force_n what_o force_n shall_v the_o roar_n of_o a_o lion_n have_v where_o shall_v the_o wicked_a stand_n and_o if_o the_o voice_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n humble_o and_o like_o a_o lamb_n stand_v before_o they_o himself_o alone_o and_o speak_v with_o such_o gentleness_n have_v such_o effect_n as_o to_o throw_v they_o down_o upon_o the_o ground_n what_o effect_n shall_v that_o roar_a full_a of_o wrath_n and_o indignation_n at_o that_o great_a day_n not_o out_o of_o the_o mouth_n of_o a_o lamb_n nor_o of_o a_o humble_a man_n jesus_n of_o nazareth_n but_o out_o of_o y_z e_z mouth_n of_o a_o lion_n out_o of_o y_z e_z mouth_n of_o jesus_n christ_n the_o judge_n sit_v in_o his_o

shall_v that_o voice_n have_v whither_o shall_v that_o voice_n drive_v they_o and_o further_a mark_n if_o that_o voice_n have_v such_o a_o effect_n be_v no_o threaten_v nor_o boast_v but_o gentle_a and_o mild_a now_o what_o effect_n shall_v this_o voice_n have_v whereby_o he_o threaten_v the_o world_n by_o his_o servant_n with_o his_o judgemente_n if_o the_o mild_a speak_v have_v such_o a_o

meekelie_a now_o as_o certain_o as_o this_o word_n that_o christ_n himself_o speak_v wrought_v such_o a_o effect_n as_o certain_o also_o the_o word_n of_o jesus_n christ_n which_o he_o put_v into_o the_o mouth_n of_o his_o faithful_a teacher_n
upon_o he_o as_o guilty_a in_o we_o and_o for_o our_o cause_n and_o let_v we_o give_v he_o thanks_n and_o praise_n continual_o because_o he_o have_v give_v his_o only_a son_n for_o we_o and_o he_o

suffering_n of_o christ_n under_o pontius_n pilate_n the_o roman_a governor_n who_o abode_n in_o jerusalem_n we_o have_v hear_v of_o two_o accusation_n that_o be_v lay_v against_o the_o innocent_a jesus_n christ_n the_o first_o be_v that_o he_o call_v himself_o the_o king_n of_o the_o jew_n &_o so_o be_v guilty_a of_o treason_n against_o caesar_n you_o hear_v the_o effect_n of_o this_o accusation_n to_o be_v nothing_o and_o therefore_o he_o go_v forth_o and_o with_o his_o voice_n before_o they_o all_o purge_v the_o innocent_a in_o the_o next_o accusation_n there_o be_v many_o thing_n lay_v to_o his_o charge_n and_o this_o chief_o that_o he_o have_v corrupt_v the_o whole_a country_n from_o galilee_n to_o jerusalem_n with_o false_a doctrine_n now_o when_o this_o be_v try_v pilate_n yet_o hold_v he_o innocent_a in_o testify_v his_o innocence_n and_o therefore_o he_o seek_v yet_o to_o get_v he_o set_v at_o liberty_n out_o of_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o jew_n and_o consider_v that_o the_o jew_n at_o the_o passeover_n be_v accustom_v to_o seek_v the_o liberty_n of_o a_o prisoner_n who_o be_v guilty_a of_o a_o capital_a crime_n he_o use_v this_o opportunity_n and_o ask_v of_o they_o whether_o they_o will_v have_v jesus_n or_o barrabas_n set_v at_o liberty_n we_o hear_v the_o answer_n to_o this_o proposition_n to_o wit_n they_o cry_v they_o will_v not_o have_v he_o deliver_v but_o barrabas_n now_o the_o other_o evangelist_n do_v insist_v more_o large_o in_o this_o purpose_n and_o write_v more_o of_o it_o and_o they_o report_v that_o pilate_n when_o he_o hear_v this_o word_n he_o ask_v what_o shall_v i_o do_v with_o jesus_n they_o cry_v all_o with_o one_o voice_n crucify_v he_o pilate_n the_o three_o time_n hear_v this_o he_o cleanse_v the_o

receive_v a_o testimony_n of_o his_o innocence_n from_o they_o who_o have_v little_a regard_n unto_o it_o for_o have_v not_o jesus_n be_v innocent_a we_o have_v be_v little_a the_o better_a of_o he_o for_o he_o can_v not_o have_v justify_v we_o for_o ere_o our_o faith_n rest_n on_o he_o we_o must_v have_v the_o full_a assurance_n of_o his_o innocence_n partly_o in_o respect_n of_o pilate_n that_o

this_o history_n at_o large_a only_o we_o have_v thus_o far_o of_o the_o suffering_n of_o jesus_n christ_n in_o the_o garden_n first_o how_o heavy_a ●_o weighty_a a_o thing_n sin_n be_v all_o this_o be_v not_o for_o his_o sin_n but_o for_o our_o sin_n for_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o world_n next_o you_o see_v how_o heavy_a a_o thing_n the_o wrath_n of_o god_n be_v that_o follow_v on_o sin_n for_o as_o jesus_n christ_n take_v on_o his_o back_n the_o burden_n of_o our_o sin_n so_o do_v he_o also_o the_o weight_n of_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n and_o the_o punishment_n that_o follow_v upon_o sin_n if_o you_o know_v not_o this_o you_o know_v nothing_o of_o christ_n three_o you_o see_v the_o greatness_n of_o the_o love_n of_o christ_n to_o man_n that_o first_o take_v on_o his_o back_n so_o heavy_a a_o burden_n of_o sin_n and_o second_o so_o heavy_a a_o burden_n of_o wrath_n and_o all_o for_o mankind_n if_o christ_n have_v not_o suffer_v never_o a_o man_n have_v be_v safe_a but_o these_o

the_o soul_n but_o to_o leave_v this_o and_o to_o mark_v the_o purpose_n of_o john_n his_o purpose_n be_v only_o to_o let_v you_o see_v that_o when_o jesus_n christ_n die_v he_o die_v with_o a_o 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 sacrifice_n his_o suffering_n have_v not_o be_v obedience_n to_o the_o father_n he_o have_v not_o be_v as_o be_v say_v phil._n 2.8_o obedient_a to_o the_o father_n so_o the_o lord_n die_v and_o he_o die_v to_o
be_v obedient_a to_o the_o father_n that_o be_v he_o die_v willing_o at_o the_o good_a will_n and_o pleasure_n of_o the_o father_n and_o if_o he_o have_v not_o be_v obedient_a his_o sacrifice_n have_v never_o be_v a_o satisfaction_n for_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o world_n and_o then_o what_o good_a have_v the_o sacrifice_n of_o christ_n do_v to_o i_o or_o thou_o or_o to_o any_o man_n and_o therefore_o hereupon_o be_v our_o faith_n ground_v that_o we_o know_v the_o lord_n jesus_n not_o only_o die_v but_o also_o that_o he_o die_v willing_o and_o so_o willing_o and_o with_o such_o a_o readiness_n to_o pleasure_v his_o father_n and_o to_o satisfy_v the_o wrath_n of_o the_o father_n as_o no_o tongue_n of_o man_n nor_o angel_n can_v express_v and_o when_o ever_o thou_o settle_v thy_o heart_n on_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n look_v that_o thy_o heart_n settle_v it_o on_o a_o willing_a and_o obedient_a death_n for_o if_o thou_o think_v not_o that_o he_o die_v willing_o and_o chearefullie_o for_o thou_o thou_o can_v have_v no_o comfort_n now_o to_o come_v to_o judas_n part_n judas_n know_v the_o place_n where_o the_o lord_n be_v he_o know_v the_o garden_n well_o enough_o because_o jesus_n

and_o he_o will_v never_o suffer_v they_o to_o be_v tempt_v till_o he_o give_v they_o ability_n and_o when_o he_o have_v give_v they_o strength_n than_o the_o lord_n will_v lay_v on_o the_o burden_n it_o be_v a_o wonderful_a thing_n the_o heavy_a the_o burden_n be_v that_o the_o lord_n lay_v on_o his_o own_o the_o great_a strength_n he_o give_v they_o to_o sustain_v it_o the_o world_n have_v

among_o the_o people_n the_o lord_n answer_v the_o thing_n that_o i_o have_v teach_v i_o have_v teach_v open_o before_o the_o world_n and_o therefore_o why_o ask_v thou_o i_o of_o my_o doctrine_n as_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
