dash_v themselves_o on_o the_o sword_n to_o devour_v they_o it_o be_v a_o miserable_a thing_n to_o want_v the_o light_n of_o the_o soul_n so_o the_o jew_n see_v not_o with_o who_o they_o have_v to_o

regard_v not_o what_o imprecation_n they_o utter_v for_o they_o see_v not_o hell_n or_o else_o if_o these_o jew_n have_v a_o light_n of_o conscience_n they_o do_v so_o rash_o against_o jesus_n with_o knowledge_n which_o be_v most_o likely_a they_o it_o follow_v that_o they_o be_v marvelous_a malicious_a as_o ignorance_n be_v hardy_a so_o be_v maliciousness_n more_o hardy_a albeit_o such_o a_o

of_o hell_n thou_o will_v recant_v these_o word_n for_o it_o will_v cause_v thou_o shout_n and_o squeele_v hideous_o &_o i_o incline_v to_o this_o judgement_n that_o this_o wicked_a action_n be_v more_o to_o be_v ascribe_v to_o malice_n than_o ignorance_n the_o jew_n and_o the_o high_a priest_n have_v the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o the_o prophet_n whereby_o they_o may_v have_v know_v the_o messiah_n when_o i_o read_v of_o the_o prophet_n that_o speak_v of_o induration_n in_o the_o time_n of_o jesus_n christ_n i_o say_v it_o have_v come_v of_o a_o hardness_n and_o induration_n of_o heart_n and_o when_o i_o see_v the_o word_n of_o the_o apostle_n that_o say_v o_o stiff_a neck_a people_n i_o think_v that_o they_o put_v their_o own_o finger_n in_o their_o eye_n that_o they_o shall_v not_o see_v the_o lord_n save_o we_o from_o maliciousness_n and_o namely_o from_o such_o maliciousness_n as_o be_v not_o without_o knowledge_n when_o a_o man_n see_v and_o will_v pull_v out_o his_o eye_n compare_v the_o jew_n with_o pilate_n now_o pilate_n sin_v he_o kill_v himself_o in_o the_o end_n and_o the_o lord_n make_v his_o own_o hand_n to_o be_v his_o burrio_fw-la no_o doubt_n he_o sin_v who_o can_v excuse_v he_o he_o sin_v malicious_o he_o have_v a_o conscience_n &_o go_v against_o it_o malicious_o but_o brethren_n to_o speak_v the_o truth_n it_o be_v not_o so_o much_o malice_n that_o push_v he_o forward_o as_o great_a infirmity_n and_o fear_n for_o first_o he_o fear_v to_o be_v accuse_v of_o treason_n against_o cesar_n it_o be_v no_o marvel_n to_o such_o a_o man_n to_o fear_v who_o have_v no_o god_n but_o cesar_n ●hen_o he_o see_v appearance_n of_o great_a tumult_n to_o rise_v among_o the_o jew_n what_o necessity_n be_v lay_v on_o they_o to_o have_v the_o blood_n of_o the_o innocent_a so_o i_o see_v nothing_o in_o they_o but_o malice_n if_o it_o be_v but_o in_o this_o respect_n that_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o jew_n weigh_v down_o the_o sin_n of_o pilate_n and_o their_o damnation_n be_v a_o thousand_o time_n great_a what_o have_v this_o man_n he_o have_v nothing_o but_o nature_n the_o contravension_n of_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n will_v never_o make_v up_o the_o sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n which_o get_v no_o mercy_n but_o come_v to_o they_o they_o have_v the_o light_n of_o nature_n and_o the_o light_n that_o come_v from_o heaven_n they_o have_v the_o word_n of_o god_n among_o they_o they_o contraveened_a a_o heavenly_a light_n that_o come_v down_o from_o heaven_n and_o be_v wrought_v into_o their_o heart_n by_o the_o spirit_n steven_n say_v in_o the_o 7._o chapter_n and_o 51._o verse_n of_o the_o act_n of_o the_o apostle_n you_o have_v always_o resist_v the_o holy_a ghost_n as_o do_v your_o father_n so_o do_v you_o that_o be_v not_o a_o natural_a light_n but_o a_o light_n that_o come_v from_o above_o there_o be_v some_o of_o these_o man_n who_o sin_v malicious_o against_o the_o holy_a spirit_n what_o marvel_n be_v it_o then_o that_o they_o get_v no_o grace_n to_o repent_v for_o of_o all_o sin_n the_o sin_n against_o the_o holy_a spirit_n be_v the_o most_o dangerous_a they_o that_o commit_v this_o

be_v strike_v with_o impenitency_n they_o get_v never_o grace_v to_o say_v god_n be_v merciful_a to_o i_o see_v then_o their_o sin_n against_o christ_n be_v so_o great_a see_v it_o be_v not_o so_o much_o of_o ignorance_n as_o of_o malice_n it_o be_v not_o only_o against_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n but_o also_o against_o the_o illumination_n of_o the_o holy_a spirit_n what_o marvel_n be_v it_o that_o such_o a_o terrible_a judgement_n overtake_v they_o as_o never_o light_v on_o any_o nation_n the_o jew_n find_v this_o innocent_a blood_n in_o experience_n lay_v to_o their_o charge_n joseph_n that_o see_v all_o these_o thing_n with_o his_o eye_n write_v what_o heavy_a vengeance_n and_o judgement_n fall_v upon_o jerusalem_n &_o the_o jew_n for_o he_o testify_v that_o there_o be_v slay_v

you_o to_o his_o blood_n shall_v be_v upon_o they_o &_o their_o posterity_n so_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n come_v upon_o they_o to_o the_o uttermost_a 1._o thess_n 2.16_o it_o be_v a_o wonder_n that_o

any_o further_a to_o let_v we_o see_v how_o witting_o and_o willing_o how_o joyfullie_o and_o glad_o and_o how_o patient_o he_o offer_v himself_o unto_o death_n for_o our_o sin_n now_o he_o have_v

all_o the_o power_n in_o heaven_n and_o in_o earth_n be_v not_o able_a to_o cause_v he_o to_o die_v if_o he_o have_v please_v to_o have_v live_v but_o to_o come_v to_o this_o text_n when_o he_o have_v

again_o but_o they_o be_v all_o senseless_a of_o that_o divine_a power_n wherewith_o they_o be_v strike_v the_o lord_n begin_v the_o speech_n and_o he_o say_v who_o seek_v you_o they_o answer_v not_o know_v he_o jesus_n of_o nazareth_n he_o repli_v again_o i_o say_v unto_o you_o that_o i_o be_o he_o he_o deni_v not_o himself_o but_o in_o a_o manner_n provoke_v they_o to_o dispatch_v that_o

that_o they_o stir_v they_o not_o and_o indeed_o none_o of_o that_o whole_a company_n have_v any_o power_n to_o lift_v up_o their_o hand_n against_o they_o the_o word_n be_v plain_a you_o may_v easy_o perceive_v the_o note_n that_o rise_v of_o this_o it_o be_v a_o marvelous_a thing_n that_o a_o naked_a and_o a_o simple_a man_n who_o be_v base_a than_o the_o king_n of_o glory_n be_v in_o the_o earth_n a_o man_n naked_a without_o armour_n he_o be_v stand_v before_o they_o who_o be_v like_a as_o many_o tyrant_n or_o tiger_n and_o yet_o none_o of_o they_o have_v power_n to_o lay_v hand_n upon_o he_o till_o he_o give_v they_o power_n and_o more_o he_o will_v not_o let_v they_o stir_v he_o till_o he_o make_v a_o condition_n with_o they_o that_o they_o handle_v not_o his_o disciple_n he_o impon_v law_n unto_o they_o and_o without_o this_o law_n that_o they_o meddle_v not_o with_o his_o disciple_n he_o will_v not_o yield_v himself_o unto_o they_o so_o brethren_n this_o be_v to_o let_v you_o see_v first_o that_o divine_a power_n which_o be_v in_o the_o lord_n jesus_n behold_v it_o for_o it_o be_v a_o comfortable_a thing_n for_o christian_n to_o know_v that_o divine_a power_n that_o be_v in_o jesus_n christ_n for_o although_o he_o never_o touch_v one_o of_o they_o yet_o that_o divine_a power_n do_v so_o bind_v fast_o their_o hand_n and_o so_o restrain_v that_o pride_n of_o their_o heart_n that_o they_o have_v no_o power_n once_o to_o move_v against_o he_o next_o behold_v a_o miserable_a senselessenesse_n in_o they_o for_o it_o be_v a_o wonderful_a thing_n that_o they_o can_v perceive_v nor_o feel_v this_o power_n that_o be_v in_o he_o if_o they_o have_v have_v any_o sight_n of_o the_o godhead_n dwell_v in_o he_o bodily_a will_v they_o not_o have_v cease_v from_o such_o a_o wicked_a enterprise_n brethren_n it_o be_v a_o hard_a matter_n for_o any_o man_n or_o woman_n once_o to_o be_v give_v over_o unto_o a_o reprobate_a sense_n and_o to_o be_v strike_v with_o blindness_n and_o hardness_n of_o heart_n and_o if_o god_n in_o his_o just_a judgement_n give_v thou_o to_o blindness_n and_o hardness_n of_o soul_n albeit_o he_o will_v make_v judgement_n after_o judgement_n to_o cease_v upon_o thou_o and_o albeit_o he_o will_v strike_v thou_o and_o beat_v thou_o upon_o thy_o back_n thou_o will_v not_o be_v the_o better_a but_o thou_o will_v get_v up_o again_o like_o a_o drunken_a man_n and_o if_o thou_o be_v once_o give_v over_o to_o thy_o own_o self_n it_o be_v as_o sure_a a_o thing_n as_o be_v in_o the_o world_n that_o except_o the_o lord_n let_v thou_o see_v with_o his_o power_n a_o sight_n of_o mercy_n thou_o shall_v ever_o become_v worse_o and_o worse_o and_o except_o the_o face_n of_o jesus_n shine_v into_o thy_o soul_n all_o affliction_n shall_v

endure_v paul_n say_v when_o the_o heart_n be_v convert_v to_o the_o lord_n the_o veil_n be_v take_v away_o 2._o corinth_n 3.16_o without_o conversion_n of_o the_o heart_n to_o the_o face_n of_o jesus_n that_o that_o merciful_a face_n may_v shine_v into_o the_o heart_n all_o the_o thing_n in_o the_o world_n will_v not_o be_v able_a to_o mollify_v thy_o heart_n therefore_o whensoever_o the_o lord_n afflict_v thou_o pray_v for_o mercy_n that_o as_o the_o power_n strike_v thou_o so_o the_o mercy_n may_v be_v powerful_a to_o convert_v thou_o yea_o cry_v aye_o for_o the_o mercy_n or_o else_o the_o power_n shall_v work_v a_o further_a induration_n in_o thou_o and_o make_v thou_o worse_o to_o go_v forward_o you_o see_v how_o careful_a he_o be_v of_o his_o disciple_n man_n will_v think_v that_o he_o be_v so_o hard_o strait_v &_o so_o near_o the_o death_n shall_v have_v forget_v his_o disciple_n for_o this_o be_v our_o fashion_n but_o the_o lord_n do_v not_o so_o and_o brethren_n this_o be_v a_o true_a note_n and_o token_n of_o a_o true_a shepherd_n he_o will_v forget_v himself_o and_o his_o life_n and_o he_o will_v remember_v his_o flock_n and_o when_o he_o be_v ady_v he_o will_v be_v careful_a of_o his_o flock_n and_o when_o the_o wolf_n be_v worry_v he_o yet_o he_o will_v do_v what_o lie_v in_o he_o that_o his_o flock_n and_o every_o sheep_n thereof_o may_v escape_v and_o he_o will_v give_v his_o life_n for_o the_o safety_n of_o his_o flock_n this_o be_v a_o good_a pastor_n so_o we_o see_v the_o vive_a image_n of_o a_o faithful_a pastor_n in_o the_o lord_n jesus_n he_o will_v give_v his_o life_n for_o his_o sheep_n as_o he_o say_v himself_o he_o be_v but_o a_o hyreling_n that_o will_v not_o for_o the_o love_n of_o his_o sheep_n lie_v down_o his_o life_n and_o this_o be_v the_o thing_n that_o i_o note_v chief_o here_o when_o the_o lord_n become_v weak_a in_o himself_o through_o infirmity_n yea_o voluntary_a infirmity_n he_o need_v not_o to_o be_v infirm_a what_o need_n have_v the_o god_n of_o glory_n to_o be_v infirm_a he_o suffer_v himself_o to_o be_v bind_v till_o he_o become_v infirm_a in_o the_o mean_a time_n he_o be_v strong_a and_o

keep_v his_o disciple_n and_o all_o the_o faithful_a in_o the_o world_n for_o except_o that_o the_o lord_n have_v keep_v they_o then_o when_o he_o be_v hang_v dead_a they_o have_v be_v a_o prey_n to_o
