to_o he_o that_o he_o stand_v guilty_a as_o a_o malefactor_n for_o they_o and_o suffer_v the_o very_a pang_n of_o hell_n and_o that_o his_o suffering_n be_v as_o much_o in_o acceptation_n with_o god_n

of_o the_o shunamite_n go_v up_o and_o lay_v upon_o 34_o he_o and_o put_v his_o mouth_n upon_o his_o mouth_n and_o his_o hand_n upon_o his_o hand_n and_o his_o eye_n upon_o his_o eye_n and_o stretch_v

and_o say_v my_o lord_n my_o god_n and_o this_o be_v to_o be_v crucify_v with_o christ._n and_o yet_o do_v not_o content_v thyself_o with_o this_o but_o by_o faith_n also_o descend_v with_o christ_n from_o the_o cross_n to_o the_o grave_n and_o bury_v thyself_o in_o the_o very_a burial_n of_o christ_n and_o then_o look_v as_o the_o dead_a soldier_n tumble_v into_o the_o grave_n of_o elizeus_fw-la be_v make_v alive_a at_o the_o very_o touch_v of_o his_o body_n so_o shall_v 21._o thou_o by_o a_o spiritual_a touch_v of_o christ_n dead_a and_o bury_v be_v quicken_v to_o life_n everlasting_a the_o second_o rule_n be_v that_o christ_n crucify_v be_v thou_o be_v real_o give_v thou_o of_o god_n the_o father_n even_o as_o true_o as_o house_n and_o land_n be_v give_v of_o earthly_a father_n to_o their_o child_n this_o thou_o must_v firm_o hold_v and_o believe_v and_o hence_o be_v it_o that_o the_o benefit_n of_o christ_n be_v before_o god_n we_o indeed_o for_o our_o justification_n and_o salvation_n the_o three_o point_n in_o lively_a knowledge_n be_v that_o by_o all_o the_o affection_n of_o our_o heart_n we_o must_v be_v carry_v to_o christ_n and_o as_o it_o be_v transform_v into_o he_o whereas_o he_o give_v himself_o whole_o for_o we_o we_o can_v do_v no_o less_o then_o bestow_v our_o heart_n upon_o he_o we_o must_v therefore_o love_v he_o above_o all_o follow_v the_o martyr_n ignatius_n who_o say_v that_o christ_n his_o love_n be_v crucify_v we_o must_v value_v he_o at_o so_o high_a a_o price_n that_o he_o must_v be_v unto_o we_o better_o than_o ten_o thousand_o world_n yea_o all_o thing_n which_o we_o enjoy_v must_v be_v but_o as_o dross_n and_o dung_n unto_o we_o in_o respect_n of_o he_o last_o all_o our_o joy_n rejoice_v comfort_n and_o confidence_n must_v be_v place_v in_o he_o

by_o the_o sword_n of_o the_o spirit_n wound_v it_o even_o to_o death_n this_o be_v do_v we_o must_v yet_o go_v further_o and_o labour_n by_o experience_n to_o see_v and_o feel_v the_o very_a death_n of_o it_o and_o to_o lay_v it_o as_o it_o be_v in_o a_o grave_n never_o to_o rise_v again_o and_o therefore_o we_o shall_v daily_o cast_v new_a mould_n upon_o it_o the_o three_o be_v a_o spiritual_a

rather_o dungeon_n of_o his_o sin_n this_o work_n can_v not_o be_v do_v at_o once_o but_o by_o degree_n as_o god_n shall_v give_v grace_n consider_v we_o lie_v by_o nature_n dead_a in_o our_o sin_n

of_o christ_n sound_v in_o our_o deaf_a ear_n second_o we_o must_v raise_v up_o our_o mind_n to_o a_o better_a state_n and_o condition_n as_o we_o use_v to_o raise_v up_o our_o body_n after_o this_o
