of_o about_o a_o hundred_o pound_n weight_n joh._n 19_o 39_o mark_n 15._o 46._o but_o it_o be_v do_v without_o wash_v or_o embalm_v last_o it_o be_v note_v it_o be_v do_v after_o the_o manner_n of_o

withal_o it_o show_v the_o courage_n and_o strength_n of_o faith_n in_o these_o disciple_n that_o be_v now_o no_o more_o afraid_a of_o man_n and_o their_o terror_n but_o give_v glory_n to_o god_n in_o

that_o man_n that_o will_v follow_v christ_n and_o be_v true_a disciple_n must_v not_o think_v much_o to_o be_v not_o only_o at_o labour_n but_o at_o cost_n also_o in_o what_o may_v be_v requisite_a for_o the_o service_n of_o christ_n live_v or_o dead_a if_o rich_a man_n must_v be_v at_o cost_n with_o the_o dead_a body_n of_o christ_n then_o must_v they_o also_o do_v to_o the_o live_a member_n of_o christ_n and_o further_a hence_o it_o be_v manifest_a that_o it_o be_v not_o unlawful_a to_o be_v at_o cost_n about_o the_o funeral_n of_o the_o dead_a saint_n god_n make_v great_a account_n of_o the_o dead_a body_n of_o his_o people_n that_o have_v be_v the_o temple_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v no_o sin_n according_a to_o man_n estate_n to_o be_v at_o such_o cost_n as_o be_v requisite_a to_o comely_a and_o decent_a burial_n according_a to_o their_o condition_n though_o vain_a ostentation_n or_o idle_a ceremony_n be_v not_o to_o be_v justify_v 2._o in_o that_o he_o be_v wrap_v in_o pure_a linen_n and_o with_o such_o costly_a spice_n it_o be_v 1._o to_o proclaim_v the_o innocence_n of_o christ_n and_o to_o take_v away_o the_o ignominy_n of_o the_o cross_n and_o therefore_o they_o will_v not_o suffer_v his_o body_n to_o lie_v among_o the_o carcase_n of_o thief_n and_o malefactor_n they_o tell_v the_o world_n hereby_o that_o christ_n be_v no_o such_o man_n 2._o to_o signify_v that_o the_o memorial_n of_o the_o just_a be_v bless_v after_o they_o be_v dead_a therefore_o they_o use_v thing_n of_o such_o sweet_a smell_n in_o bury_v the_o dead_a that_o they_o may_v thereby_o signify_v how_o sweet_a the_o memory_n of_o the_o depart_a saint_n be_v they_o be_v amiable_a even_o when_o they_o be_v dead_a 3._o it_o may_v in_o special_a signify_v that_o from_o christ_n dead_a and_o bury_v shall_v arise_v a_o most_o sweet_a savour_n in_o the_o ●_z of_o man_n bring_v unto_o they_o by_o the_o efficacy_n of_o the_o gospel_n cause_v christ_n to_o die_v and_o be_v bury_v in_o their_o soul_n 4._o this_o cost_n about_o the_o body_n of_o the_o dead_a be_v use_v to_o signify_v their_o assure_a hope_n of_o resurrection_n and_o therefore_o they_o bestow_v that_o cost_n as_o know_v that_o it_o be_v bestow_v upon_o body_n that_o shall_v live_v again_o yet_o for_o all_o this_o cost_n christ_n body_n be_v not_o embalm_v which_o in_o respect_n of_o they_o come_v to_o pass_v by_o reason_n of_o the_o shortness_n of_o the_o time_n the_o sabbath_n be_v so_o near_o and_o therefore_o the_o woman_n come_v the_o three_o day_n to_o anoint_v he_o after_o the_o sabbath_n be_v over_o but_o he_o be_v rifen_v but_o in_o respect_n of_o god_n this_o embalm_v be_v not_o perform_v that_o thereby_o may_v be_v signify_v that_o christ_n body_n need_v no_o embalm_v because_o it_o can_v see_v no_o corruption_n in_o the_o grave_n psal_n 16._o 10._o and_o that_o this_o incorruption_n may_v not_o be_v impute_v to_o skill_n or_o medicine_n of_o man_n but_o only_o to_o the_o divine_a power_n and_o withal_o to_o signify_v that_o by_o christ_n we_o shall_v be_v free_v from_o that_o corruption_n which_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o first_o adam_n bring_v upon_o we_o all_o last_o in_o that_o it_o be_v say_v that_o christ_n be_v bury_v after_o the_o manner_n of_o the_o jew_n bury_v it_o show_v plain_o that_o respect_n be_v to_o be_v have_v to_o the_o custom_n of_o any_o country_n or_o place_n where_o we_o live_v and_o that_o god_n servant_n have_v be_v careful_a to_o observe_v they_o and_o not_o willing_a to_o give_v offence_n by_o cross_v such_o custom_n this_o be_v true_a of_o all_o custom_n that_o be_v not_o sinful_a and_o against_o the_o word_n of_o god_n though_o they_o be_v such_o usage_n as_o be_v not_o command_v in_o scripture_n for_o this_o manner_n of_o burial_n be_v no_o where_o command_v in_o god_n word_n and_o yet_o the_o custom_n prevail_v and_o good_a man_n observe_v it_o now_o in_o this_o place_n i_o may_v add_v further_o two_o

the_o power_n of_o christ_n may_v the_o more_o appear_v that_o can_v rise_v though_o a_o great_a stone_n be_v roll_v upon_o the_o mouth_n of_o the_o sepulchre_n the_o second_o adjunct_n be_v the_o

that_o hold_v out_o the_o confession_n of_o christ_n and_o give_v not_o back_o for_o all_o the_o fury_n of_o the_o adversary_n and_o thus_o of_o the_o manner_n of_o his_o burial_n now_o for_o the_o last_o point_n our_o saviour_n continue_v in_o the_o grave_n till_o the_o three_o day_n for_o he_o be_v bury_v the_o evening_n before_o the_o jewish_a sabbath_n and_o lay_v in_o the_o grave_a all_o

christ_n do_v suffer_v no_o putrefaction_n or_o corruption_n now_o of_o all_o this_o four_o question_n may_v be_v demand_v quest_n 1._o why_o do_v our_o saviour_n continue_v in_o the_o grave_n three_o day_n answ_n that_o the_o type_n of_o jonas_n may_v be_v fulfil_v as_o jonas_n be_v three_o day_n and_o three_o night_n in_o the_o whale_n belly_n so_o must_v christ_n be_v three_o day_n in_o the_o

must_v here_o consider_v what_o it_o be_v in_o particular_a to_o believe_v in_o god_n and_o what_o every_o christian_n shall_v mean_v when_o he_o say_v i_o believe_v in_o god_n it_o be_v to_o be_v note_v by_o the_o way_n that_o he_o do_v not_o say_v i_o believe_v god_n but_o in_o god_n the_o ordinary_a distinction_n of_o believe_v be_v not_o impertinent_a it_o be_v one_o thing_n to_o believe_v that_o god_n be_v credere_fw-la deum_fw-la or_o to_o believe_v god_n credere_fw-la deo_fw-la and_o another_o thing_n to_o believe_v in_o god_n credere_fw-la in_o deum_fw-la for_o to_o believe_v in_o god_n be_v first_o to_o know_v god_n as_o he_o have_v reveal_v himself_o in_o his_o word_n and_o so_o to_o conceive_v of_o god_n according_a to_o the_o former_a doctrine_n of_o his_o nature_n second_o to_o be_v persuade_v that_o that_o god_n be_v my_o god_n and_o three_o to_o put_v all_o my_o trust_n in_o he_o and_o to_o rest_v upon_o he_o alone_o for_o all_o happiness_n of_o the_o knowledge_n of_o

towards_o us._n now_o there_o be_v diverse_a reason_n profitable_a for_o we_o to_o think_v much_o upon_o which_o may_v not_o only_o prove_v the_o point_n but_o frame_n in_o we_o a_o spiritual_a confidence_n in_o god_n we_o may_v with_o all_o safety_n and_o confidence_n rest_v upon_o god_n alone_o and_o his_o favour_n and_o promise_n 1._o because_o he_o have_v bind_v himself_o by_o his_o word_n and_o promise_n to_o be_v so_o good_a to_o we_o and_o have_v confirm_v his_o promise_n by_o oath_n and_o by_o seal_n 2._o because_o he_o be_v of_o such_o power_n to_o do_v we_o good_a 3._o because_o he_o be_v of_o so_o good_a a_o nature_n and_o it_o agree_v so_o well_o to_o his_o disposition_n to_o perform_v his_o promise_n 4._o because_o god_n be_v so_o well_o please_v with_o our_o

of_o god_n care_n for_o all_o that_o ever_o trust_v in_o god_n who_o ever_o trust_v upon_o god_n and_o be_v destroy_v or_o disappoint_v be_v it_o require_v of_o we_o that_o we_o shall_v believe_v in_o god_n than_o these_o use_n will_v follow_v 1._o it_o show_v the_o difference_n in_o the_o relation_n of_o our_o faith_n as_o it_o look_v upon_o man_n and_o upon_o god_n we_o believe_v man_n as_o the_o
