and_o be_v also_o hear_v in_o the_o thing_n which_o he_o fear_v and_o be_v himself_o the_o son_n yet_o he_o learned_a obedience_n by_o the_o thing_n which_o he_o suffer_v and_o be_v consecrate_v be_v make_v the_o author_n of_o eternal_a salvation_n to_o they_o that_o obey_v he_o these_o word_n my_o dear_a brethren_n we_o have_v now_o in_o hand_n to_o search_v &_o examine_v what_o the_o spirit_n teach_v we_o so_o much_o the_o more_o careful_o to_o be_v hearken_v unto_o of_o we_o how_o much_o the_o more_o plain_o it_o set_v forth_o unto_o we_o the_o great_a love_n &_o compassion_n that_o christ_n bear_v towards_o we_o two_o thing_n especial_o here_o the_o apostle_n testify_v first_o the_o suffering_n of_o our_o saviour_n christ_n &_o then_o the_o benefit_n that_o we_o enjoy_v by_o the_o same_o according_a as_o his_o suffering_n be_v only_o for_o our_o sake_n his_o suffering_n what_o they_o be_v &_o how_o great_a sorrow_n oppress_v he_o he_o show_v by_o those_o effect_n which_o his_o sorrow_n bring_v forth_o that_o be_v prayer_n supplication_n cry_n tear_n fear_v and_o anguish_n of_o spirit_n which_o thing_n wait_v ever_o upon_o he_o even_o to_o the_o accomplish_n of_o all_o his_o passion_n which_o be_v the_o death_n of_o his_o cross_n the_o fruit_n that_o we_o do_v reap_v of_o those_o affliction_n which_o he_o suffer_v be_v the_o salvation_n of_o our_o soul_n &_o eternal_a life_n if_o we_o will_v obey_v he_o in_o this_o description_n of_o his_o suffering_n though_o the_o thing_n be_v set_v forth_o which_o be_v come_v and_o usual_a unto_o he_o all_o his_o life_n yet_o it_o appear_v especial_o the_o apostle_n mean_v that_o great_a conflict_n of_o sorrow_n which_o he_o have_v a_o little_a before_o his_o passion_n describe_v by_o the_o evangelist_n in_o all_o similitude_n like_a unto_o this_o which_o the_o apostle_n here_o declare_v for_o as_o it_o be_v here_o say_v he_o make_v prayer_n note_v by_o the_o word_n that_o they_o be_v many_o in_o number_n so_o it_o appear_v in_o the_o gospel_n that_o beside_o other_o prayer_n three_o time_n he_o repeat_v this_o one_o 26_o father_n if_o it_o be_v possible_a let_v this_o cup_n pass_v from_o i_o and_o as_o it_o be_v say_v he_o make_v supplication_n humble_a himself_o low_a under_o the_o hand_n of_o his_o father_n so_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o gospel_n that_o they_o he_o kneel_v down_o fall_v upon_o his_o face_n and_o so_o pray_v unto_o god._n 41._o and_o as_o the_o cause_n of_o his_o prayer_n be_v here_o mention_v to_o be_v deliver_v from_o death_n so_o the_o word_n of_o his_o prayer_n in_o the_o gospel_n be_v like_a father_n if_o it_o be_v possible_a let_v this_o cup_n pass_v from_o i_o meaning_n the_o death_n of_o his_o cross_n to_o which_o he_o be_v condemn_v and_o as_o here_o be_v mention_v his_o great_a and_o loud_o cry_v so_o there_o the_o evangelist_n say_v he_o cry_v out_o with_o a_o loud_a voice_n my_o god_n my_o god_n why_o have_v thou_o forsake_v i_o and_o like_v as_o here_o be_v say_v he_o pray_v with_o weep_a teat_n so_o there_o be_v witness_v that_o he_o be_v sorrowful_a and_o grievous_o trouble_v that_o his_o soul_n be_v heavy_a even_o unto_o death_n &_o that_o in_o a_o great_a agony_n his_o sweat_n be_v like_a unto_o drop_n of_o blood_n a_o woeful_a kind_n of_o weep_v but_o such_o be_v his_o compassion_n that_o we_o may_v have_v sure_a hope_n and_o as_o here_o be_v say_v he_o be_v deliver_v from_o his_o feat_n so_o at_o that_o time_n when_o all_o his_o spirit_n be_v trouble_v the_o angel_n come_v from_o heaven_n to_o bring_v he_o comfort_v these_o similitude_n they_o be_v all_o so_o agreeable_a that_o it_o be_v evident_a the_o apostle_n respect_v especial_o above_o other_o this_o part_n of_o his_o passion_n in_o which_o his_o perfect_a love_n and_o unchangeable_a affection_n toward_o we_o shine_v in_o most_o fullness_n of_o beauty_n in_o that_o it_o be_v so_o fervent_a and_o so_o deep_o root_v that_o neither_o fear_n nor_o tremble_a nor_o any_o anguish_n of_o spirit_n can_v make_v it_o shake_v nor_o the_o force_n of_o death_n nor_o any_o bloody_a sweat_n can_v pull_v it_o out_o of_o his_o bowel_n in_o this_o one_o sentence_n
