to_o be_v understand_v not_o so_o much_o of_o a_o safety_n in_o this_o life_n present_o as_o of_o a_o spiritual_a safety_n to_o life_n everlasting_a this_o be_v the_o meaning_n yet_o it_o have_v

import_v that_o spiritual_a safety_n &_o the_o life_n to_o come_v as_o by_o the_o contrary_a the_o endanger_n of_o the_o present_a life_n endanger_v the_o life_n to_o come_v if_o the_o disciple_n have_v be_v take_v at_o this_o time_n to_o have_v suffer_v with_o their_o master_n they_o have_v all_o revolt_a and_o deny_v their_o master_n we_o may_v see_v the_o proof_n of_o this_o in_o peter_n and_o so_o they_o have_v hazard_v not_o only_o this_o life_n but_o also_o the_o life_n to_o come_v because_o that_o the_o disciple_n be_v as_o yet_o but_o child_n in_o jesus_n christ_n and_o be_v not_o strengthen_v enough_o with_o the_o power_n of_o christ_n and_o woe_n be_v to_o that_o soul_n that_o will_v deny_v jesus_n christ_n and_o chief_o in_o death_n there_o be_v not_o one_o who_o will_v suffer_v their_o little_a finger_n only_o to_o be_v burn_v for_o the_o cause_n of_o christ_n except_o he_o be_v strengthen_v with_o the_o power_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o there_o be_v not_o one_o that_o will_v now_o suffer_v affliction_n but_o they_o who_o be_v guard_v with_o the_o power_n of_o god_n and_o therefore_o you_o see_v here_o god_n mercy_n towards_o his_o disciple_n this_o be_v the_o merciful_a deal_n of_o god_n with_o his_o own_o he_o will_v never_o let_v one_o of_o his_o own_o be_v tempt_v but_o he_o will_v give_v they_o power_n to_o bear_v out_o the_o temptation_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 wonder_v at_o the_o martyr_n of_o god_n who_o have_v so_o great_a comfort_n in_o the_o time_n of_o their_o burn_a in_o the_o fire_n and_o how_o in_o suffer_v they_o will_v sing_v psalm_n unto_o their_o latter_a breath_n the_o world_n wonder_v at_o this_o the_o heavy_a that_o the_o death_n have_v be_v the_o great_a have_v the_o power_n of_o god_n be_v and_o the_o great_a have_v the_o life_n of_o jesus_n be_v in_o the_o martyr_n and_o these_o disciple_n who_o he_o spare_v now_o when_o he_o see_v that_o they_o be_v ripe_a spare_v he_o they_o then_o no_o no_o what_o be_v the_o whole_a

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

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

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

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

it_o the_o word_n of_o a_o king_n be_v much_o and_o of_o great_a might_n then_o how_o weighty_a be_v the_o word_n that_o come_v from_o the_o king_n of_o king_n heaven_n and_o earth_n shall_v perish_v
