of_o grief_n so_o great_a and_o so_o inward_a that_o no_o tongue_n can_v speak_v they_o or_o understanding_n think_v or_o imagine_v they_o so_o as_o the_o love_n he_o have_v to_o the_o divinity_n be_v

the_o condemnation_n of_o so_o many_o soul_n that_o have_v already_o be_v lose_v and_o shall_v be_v until_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n for_o according_a to_o the_o measure_n of_o the_o love_n of_o god_n so_o be_v the_o love_n of_o our_o neighbour_n proportionable_o speak_v and_o as_o his_o bless_a soul_n do_v love_n almighty_a god_n in_o the_o high_a degree_n so_o he_o love_v and_o desire_v great_o the_o salvation_n of_o soul_n &_o it_o grieve_v he_o much_o to_o see_v so_o many_o dead_a with_o sin_n and_o conde●aned_v to_o so_o terrible_a &_o eternal_a torment_v &_o particular_o he_o

of_o this_o so_o dear_a a_o remedy_n but_o will_v choose_v rather_o death_n they_o life_n and_o the_o captivity_n of_o satan_n rather_o than_o the_o liberty_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o the_o

of_o his_o passion_n and_o of_o his_o death_n for_o he_o have_v they_o always_o as_o present_a as_o when_o he_o suffer_v and_o so_o we_o must_v consider_v that_o the_o grief_n of_o his_o whip_n of_o the_o crown_n of_o thorn_n and_o the_o torment_n upon_o the_o cross_n and_o the_o scorn_v of_o his_o passion_n be_v not_o suffer_v by_o he_o be_v the_o four_o nail_n which_o inward_o pass_v through_o and_o crucify_v that_o most_o bless_a soul_n and_o give_v he_o grief_n without_o comparison_n more_o excessive_a than_o all_o exterior_a pain_n and_o torment_n 9_o and_o with_o this_o interior_a cross_n thou_o must_v consider_v that_o he_o be_v crucify_v all_o the_o day_n of_o his_o life_n &_o so_o thou_o will_v not_o marvel_v at_o what_o be_v write_v of_o he_o that_o he_o be_v never_o see_v to_o laugh_v yea_o it_o be_v a_o thing_n worthy_a of_o great_a consideration_n his_o fortitude_n and_o magnanimity_n that_o have_v his_o soul_n inward_o so_o drown_v and_o run_v through_o with_o so_o many_o sorrow_n and_o grief_n have_v notwithstanding_o courage_n to_o show_v outward_o a_o good_a countenance_n and_o to_o converse_v with_o all_o so_o mild_o &_o with_o so_o great_a affability_n and_o all_o this_o he_o do_v to_o work_v our_o salvation_n let_v he_o therefore_o be_v ever_o glorify_v love_a and_o serve_v of_o all_o creature_n amen_n §._o iii_o for_o who_o 1._o the_o three_o circumstance_n be_v to_o consider_v for_o who_o our_o saviour_n suffer_v all_o this_o for_o if_o he_o have_v suffer_v it_o for_o one_o who_o have_v deserve_v it_o and_o will_v have_v be_v thankful_a for_o it_o it_o will_v not_o have_v be_v a_o thing_n so_o much_o to_o be_v admire_v or_o if_o he_o have_v suffer_v it_o for_o person_n of_o great_a account_n and_o dignity_n as_o for_o angel_n or_o s●raphims_n but_o to_o suffer_v it_o for_o man_n creature_n of_o so_o base_a condition_n that_o by_o their_o own_o will_n have_v lose_v themselves_o and_o to_o suffer_v it_o general_o for_o all_o without_o exclude_v any_o which_o if_o it_o have_v be_v only_o for_o his_o friend_n it_o have_v not_o be_v so_o much_o but_o to_o suffer_v it_o for_o his_o enemy_n and_o those_o who_o actual_o do_v offend_v he_o and_o abhor_v he_o without_o exclude_v even_o those_o who_o be_v torment_v he_o accuse_v and_o condemn_v he_o to_o death_n this_o do_v extol_v very_o much_o the_o charity_n of_o our_o most_o benign_a redeemer_n that_o man_n mad_a with_o envy_n be_v some_o accuse_v he_o other_o bringing_z false_a witness_n against_o he_o other_o whip_v he_o other_o prepare_v the_o crown_n of_o thorn_n &_o the_o cross_n the_o nail_n and_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o instrument_n of_o his_o passion_n and_o in_o this_o very_a time_n he_o love_v they_o so_o true_o that_o he_o suffer_v for_o they_o the_o same_o torment_n which_o they_o lie_v upon_o he_o and_o wish_v they_o so_o much_o good_a that_o if_o it_o be_v necessary_a to_o gain_v any_o one_o soul_n of_o they_o he_o will_v suffer_v again_o so_o much_o more_o this_o be_v a_o thing_n worthy_a to_o be_v consider_v 2._o and_o that_o which_o import_v much_o to_o draw_v fruit_n out_o of_o this_o circumstance_n every_o one_o must_v consider_v that_o he_o suffer_v these_o pain_n for_o he_o as_o if_o he_o suffer_v for_o he_o alone_o for_o it_o be_v infallible_a truth_n that_o for_o every_o one_o in_o particular_a he_o suffer_v those_o pain_n and_o torment_n and_o so_o much_o they_o profit_v every_o one_o and_o so_o much_o his_o own_o be_v the_o treasure_n of_o christ_n
put_v they_o to_o flight_n especial_o if_o he_o know_v that_o of_o such_o labour_n will_v follow_v great_a honour_n and_o glory_n for_o himself_o and_o also_o much_o profit_n for_o his_o soldier_n even_o so_o a_o christian_a must_v rejoice_v to_o see_v that_o all_o those_o labour_n be_v to_o redound_v to_o the_o more_o glory_n of_o christ_n &_o that_o for_o they_o his_o eternal_a father_n will_v give_v the_o great_a honour_n and_o authority_n that_o can_v be_v imagine_v as_o s._n paul_n say_v he_o humble_v himself_o be_v make_v obedient_a even_o until_o the_o death_n of_o the_o cross_n for_o the_o which_o god_n have_v exalt_v he_o and_o give_v he_o a_o name_n above_o all_o name_n that_o in_o the_o name_n of_o jesus_n every_o knee_n shall_v bow_v in_o heaven_n earth_n and_o hell_n and_o all_o tongue_n shall_v confess_v &_o praise_v he_o 9_o three_o joy_n must_v be_v gather_v out_o of_o these_o mystery_n of_o the_o passion_n so_o the_o great_a good_a and_o profit_n that_o thereby_o come_v unto_o all_o mankind_n for_o by_o these_o the_o debt_n of_o our_o sin_n be_v pay_v which_o none_o else_o can_v pay_v furthermore_o we_o be_v redeem_v from_o the_o servitude_n of_o

of_o god_n love_n include_v in_o itself_o and_o consist_v of_o three_o act_n the_o first_o be_v to_o be_v glod_n of_o all_o the_o good_n of_o the_o person_n that_o he_o love_v the_o second_o to_o desire_v that_o he_o may_v have_v many_o more_o that_o he_o have_v not_o the_o three_o be_v to_o do_v for_o he_o all_o that_o possible_o we_o can_v for_o as_o s._n gregory_n say_v the_o proof_n of_o love_n be_v the_o work_n and_o when_o the_o love_n be_v very_o perfect_a and_o inflame_v the_o other_o effect_n which_o be_v to_o conform_v we_o in_o all_o thing_n with_o the_o person_n we_o love_v follow_v to_o wit_n to_o love_v what_o he_o love_v and_o hate_v what_o he_o hate_v and_o receive_v content_a in_o all_o thing_n with_o he_o by_o these_o point_n the_o love_n of_o god_n must_v be_v exercise_v the_o first_o to_o receive_v great_a content_n and_o pleasure_n that_o god_n be_v who_o he_o be_v and_o have_v all_o the_o good_a he_o have_v that_o he_o be_v so_o great_a so_o infinite_a so_o powerful_a so_o wise_a and_o the_o like_a of_o all_o the_o rest_n of_o his_o perfection_n and_o greatness_n 2._o the_o second_o suppose_v that_o we_o can_v desire_v god_n more_o good_a than_o he_o have_v because_o in_o he_o be_v all_o good_a thing_n and_o his_o greatness_n can_v be_v no_o more_o than_o it_o be_v nor_o his_o glory_n more_o than_o he_o have_v in_o himself_o but_o it_o may_v be_v great_a exterior_o in_o his_o creature_n and_o this_o be_v that_o which_o we_o desire_v he_o shall_v have_v 3._o the_o three_o suppose_v also_o that_o we_o can_v do_v any_o work_n that_o may_v be_v profitable_a unto_o he_o for_o he_o have_v no_o need_n of_o we_o neither_o of_o all_o our_o good_n can_v any_o profit_n come_v unto_o he_o but_o we_o may_v and_o aught_o to_o show_v that_o we_o love_v he_o in_o our_o work_n fulfil_v his_o commandment_n for_o our_o saviour_n himself_o say_v he_o that_o have_v my_o commandment_n &_o keep_v they_o this_o be_v he_o who_o love_v i_o and_o so_o we_o must_v make_v many_o act_n and_o firm_a purpose_n to_o fulfil_v perfect_o the_o commandment_n of_o god_n and_o not_o to_o break_v any_o of_o they_o for_o all_o the_o world_n and_o this_o same_o love_n of_o god_n we_o must_v excercise_n in_o a_o certain_a manner_n with_o the_o sacred_a humanity_n of_o christ_n which_o we_o have_v great_a reason_n to_o love_n more_o they_o all_o creature_n

of_o the_o mystery_n of_o christ_n be_v to_o be_v exercise_v consider_v the_o great_a and_o unspeakable_a love_n that_o he_o show_v we_o in_o these_o mystery_n do_v and_o suffer_v so_o much_o for_o

in_o the_o holy_a mystery_n of_o christ_n our_o saviour_n that_o which_o must_v cause_v admiration_n be_v to_o consider_v those_o inestimable_a riches_n of_o charity_n with_o which_o god_n love_v

but_o rather_o daily_o do_v labour_n to_o go_v forward_o more_o in_o the_o service_n of_o god_n the_o reason_n of_o this_o be_v because_o while_o holy_a and_o godly_a man_n do_v go_v forward_o &_o profit_v more_o in_o virtue_n they_o receive_v more_o &_o great_a light_n of_o god_n with_o which_o they_o come_v to_o discover_v in_o themselves_o such_o fault_n as_o before_o they_o know_v not_o &_o

and_o for_o this_o respect_n do_v the_o self_n same_o holy_a man_n affirm_v that_o god_n have_v merciful_o ordain_v that_o his_o servant_n of_o perfect_a virtue_n against_o their_o will_n come_v to_o
