can_v do_v we_o no_o good_a with_o light_a punishment_n wherewith_o he_o be_v our_o most_o gentle_a father_n do_v correct_v we_o as_o tender_a &_o dainty_a child_n he_o be_v compel_v to_o put_v upon_o

and_o favourable_o the_o lord_n suffer_v us._n for_o suppose_v he_o draw_v nigh_o unto_o old_a age_n yet_o must_v he_o needs_o be_v take_v with_o the_o disease_n in_o the_o first_o flower_n of_o his_o

that_o god_n can_v be_v accuse_v of_o too_o great_a severity_n because_o he_o do_v punish_v a_o man_n that_o be_v half_o dead_a with_o so_o long_a sickness_n therefore_o in_o that_o we_o be_v light_o

forth_o in_o us._n for_o if_o christ_n his_o exhortation_n be_v not_o superfluous_a we_o may_v gather_v thence_o that_o this_o man_n soul_n be_v not_o yet_o well_o purge_v from_o all_o vice_n and_o true_o vice_n do_v take_v deep_a root_n in_o we_o then_o that_o they_o can_v be_v pluck_v up_o in_o one_o or_o two_o day_n and_o the_o cure_n of_o the_o disease_n of_o the_o soul_n be_v hard_a than_o

jew_n do_v vomit_v out_o their_o poison_n in_o this_o that_o they_o do_v not_o only_o accuse_v christ_n for_o break_v the_o sabbaoth_n but_o do_v also_o burst_v out_o into_o extreme_a cruelty_n 17_o and_o jesus_n answer_v they_o my_o father_n work_v until_o this_o time_n and_o i_o work_v 18_o for_o this_o cause_n therefore_o the_o jew_n seek_v the_o rather_o to_o kill_v he_o because_o he_o do_v not_o only_o break_v the_o sabbath_n but_o do_v also_o call_v god_n his_o father_n make_v himself_o equal_a with_o god_n 19_o therefore_o jesus_n answer_v and_o say_v unto_o they_o very_o very_o i_o

such_o as_o be_v now_o to_o be_v abrogate_a but_z do_v rather_o say_v that_o he_o have_v not_o break_v the_o sabbath_n because_o this_o be_v a_o work_n of_o god_n it_o be_v indeed_o a_o shadowish_a ceremony_n whereof_o christ_n make_v a_o end_n by_o his_o come_n as_o paul_n teach_v col._n 2._o 16._o 17._o but_o the_o state_n of_o this_o present_a cause_n consist_v not_o in_o that_o for_o man_n be_v only_o command_v to_o rest_v from_o their_o own_o work_n therefore_o circumcision_n which_o be_v a_o work_n of_o god_n and_o not_o of_o man_n be_v not_o contrary_a to_o the_o sabbath_n christ_n stand_v upon_o this_o point_n that_o the_o holy_a rest_n be_v not_o trouble_v with_o the_o work_v of_o god_n which_o rest_n be_v command_v in_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n and_o by_o this_o reason_n he_o do_v not_o only_o excuse_v his_o own_o fact_n but_o his_o also_o that_o bare_a his_o bed_n for_o it_o be_v a_o appurtenance_n and_o as_o it_o be_v a_o part_n of_o the_o miracle_n because_o it_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o approve_v of_o the_o same_o second_o if_o thanksgiving_n and_o the_o preach_v abroad_o of_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n be_v to_o be_v reckon_v among_o the_o work_n of_o god_n it_o be_v no_o break_n of_o the_o sabbath_n with_o foot_n and_o hand_n to_o set_v forth_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n yet_o christ_n do_v chief_o speak_v of_o himself_o with_o who_o the_o jew_n be_v more_o offend_v in_o the_o mean_a while_o he_o do_v testify_v that_o the_o health_n which_o he_o restore_v to_o the_o sick_a man_n be_v a_o testimony_n of_o his_o divine_a power_n he_o affirm_v that_o he_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o that_o the_o manner_n of_o work_v be_v common_a to_o he_o and_o his_o father_n i_o do_v not_o now_o at_o large_a dispute_n what_o be_v the_o use_n of_o the_o sabbath_n &_o for_o what_o cause_v it_o be_v command_v as_o touch_v this_o present_a place_n the_o religion_n of_o the_o sabbath_n be_v so_o far_o from_o break_v and_o hinder_v the_o course_n of_o the_o work_n of_o god_n that_o it_o do_v rather_o grant_v place_n to_o they_o alone_o for_o why_o do_v the_o law_n command_v man_n to_o rest_n from_o their_o own_o work_n save_v only_o that_o they_o may_v apply_v all_o their_o sense_n be_v empty_a and_o free_a to_o consider_v upon_o the_o work_n of_o god_n therefore_o he_o be_v a_o wicked_a overthrower_n of_o the_o law_n and_o also_o a_o false_a interpreter_n who_o do_v not_o grant_v unto_o the_o work_n of_o god_n a_o free_a kingdom_n in_o the_o sabbath_n if_o any_o man_n do_v object_n that_o the_o example_n of_o god_n be_v set_v before_o man_n that_o they_o may_v rest_v the_o seven_o day_n the_o answer_n be_v easy_a that_o man_n be_v not_o like_a unto_o god_n in_o that_o point_n because_o he_o keep_v holy_a day_n but_o because_o that_o cease_v from_o the_o troublesome_a action_n of_o this_o world_n they_o do_v aspire_v unto_o the_o heavenly_a rest_n therefore_o the_o sabbath_n of_o god_n be_v no_o loitering_n but_o a_o sound_a perfection_n which_o bring_v with_o it_o the_o quiet_a estate_n of_o peace_n neither_o be_v that_o any_o hindrance_n which_o moses_n say_v gen._n 2._o 2._o that_o god_n make_v a_o end_n of_o his_o work_n for_o his_o meaning_n be_v that_o when_o god_n have_v finish_v the_o frame_n and_o work_v of_o the_o world_n he_o do_v consecrate_v that_o day_n which_o man_n shall_v bestow_v on_o the_o meditate_v upon_o his_o work_n in_o the_o mean_a while_o he_o cease_v not_o by_o his_o power_n to_o uphold_v the_o world_n which_o he_o have_v make_v to_o govern_v it_o by_o his_o counsel_n to_o nourish●_n it_o with_o his_o goodness_n and_o to_o determine_v all_o thing_n at_o his_o pleasure_n in_o heaven_n and_o earth_n therefore_o the_o creation_n of_o the_o world_n be_v finish_v in_o six_o

much_o more_o lawful_a be_v it_o to_o help_v he_o therefore_o it_o appear_v that_o if_o any_o do_v help_v the_o necessity_n of_o the_o brethren_n that_o he_o break_v not_o the_o rest_n command_v by_o the_o lord_n mark_v &_o luke_n have_v not_o this_o similitude_n they_o only_o say_v that_o christ_n demand_v whether_o it_o be_v lawful_a to_o do_v a_o good_a deed_n on_o the_o sabbath_n day_n or_o to_o do_v evil_a for_o he_o that_o lose_v the_o life_n of_o a_o man_n be_v guilty_a of_o a_o offence_n yea_o he_o little_a di●sereth_v from_o a_o manflaier_n which_o have_v no_o regard_n to_o help_v

the_o temple_n of_o god_n be_v not_o a_o place_n of_o merchandise_n but_o here_o may_v a_o question_n be_v ask_v why_o he_o do_v not_o rather_o begin_v with_o doctrine_n for_o this_o seem_v to_o be_v

it_o be_v needful_a to_o awake_v their_o drowsy_a and_o sleepy_a mind_n with_o some_o new_a and_o unaccustomed_a fact_n the_o temple_n be_v now_o a_o sanctuary_n of_o celestial_a doctrine_n and_o

follow_v christ_n from_o galilee_n come_v but_o we_o may_v easy_o loose_v this_o knot_n thus_o that_o like_a as_o mathewe_n put_v the_o name_n of_o two_o woman_n which_o be_v better_o know_v and_o more_o famous_a amongst_o the_o disciple_n so_o john_n be_v content_v with_o the_o name_n of_o magdalene_n alone_o nevertheless_o he_o exclude_v not_o the_o other_o yea_o we_o may_v easy_o gather_v out_o of_o his_o word_n that_o she_o be_v not_o alone_o for_o marye_n say_v short_o after_o in_o the_o plural_a number_n we_o know_v not_o where_o they_o have_v lay_v he_o therefore_o although_o john_n make_v no_o mention_n of_o her_o fellow_n yet_o he_o tell_v nothing_o that_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o other_o who_o say_v that_o there_o be_v more_o we_o may_v easy_o answer_n concern_v the_o variety_n of_o the_o time_n when_o john_n say_v that_o she_o come_v before_o it_o be_v day_n understande_v that_o they_o take_v their_o journey_n when_o it_o be_v yet_o dark_a and_o before_o they_o come_v to_o the_o sepulchre_n it_o be_v light_a day_n and_o at_o night_n after_o the_o sun_n be_v set_v when_o as_o the_o sabbath_n be_v end_v they_o have_v buy_v the_o odour_n and_o hither_o ought_v the_o narration_n to_o be_v refer_v otherwise_o there_o seem_v to_o be_v some_o show_n of_o contrariety_n in_o that_o john_n say_v that_o marye_n speak_v unto_o he_o and_o peter_n only_o but_o luke_n say_v that_o she_o come_v unto_o the_o eleven_o apostle_n and_o that_o her_o speech_n seem_v unto_o they_o a_o feign_a thing_n but_o we_o may_v easy_o answer_n because_o john_n do_v omit_v his_o other_o companion_n of_o set_a purpose_n for_o he_o and_o peter_n come_v unto_o the_o sepulchre_n only_o in_o that_o luke_n make_v mention_n of_o peter_n alone_o it_o be_v like_a to_o that_o which_o we_o speak_v of_o late_a concern_v marye_n magdalene_n and_o the_o other_o woman_n furthermore_o it_o be_v to_o be_v think_v that_o the_o other_o nine_o disciple_n be_v keep_v back_o with_o fear_n lest_o if_o they_o have_v come_v abroad_o in_o company_n they_o have_v be_v see_v too_o open_o neither_o do_v that_o any_o whit_n hinder_v which_o luke_n seem_v to_o grant_v that_o the_o other_o do_v despise_v the_o word_n of_o mary_n because_o he_o add_v immediate_o after_o that_o peter_n run_v wherefore_o he_o mean_v simple_o that_o they_o be_v as_o it_o be_v astonish_v at_o the_o first_o hear_v but_o at_o length_n when_o they_o be_v come_v to_o themselves_o again_o peter_n follow_v she_o that_o he_o may_v see_v and_o whereas_o luke_n say_v that_o christ_n appear_v unto_o marye_n before_o she_o have_v tell_v the_o disciple_n that_o the_o sepulchre_n be_v empty_a the_o course_n of_o the_o narration_n be_v turn_v backward_o which_o appear_v plain_o by_o the_o text_n for_o he_o add_v that_o which_o john_n testify_v come_v to_o pass_v before_o she_o see_v jesus_n neither_o be_v there_o any_o absurdity_n in_o this_o seeinge_v that_o it_o be_v a_o common_a thing_n amongst_o the_o hebritian_n to_o set_v down_o that_o first_o which_o be_v late_a in_o order_n of_o time_n the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o sabbath_n the_o evangelist_n do_v not_o show_v when_o and_o after_o what_o sort_n christ_n do_v rise_v again_o because_o it_o be_v sufficient_a for_o they_o to_o expound_v when_o and_o to_o who_o his_o resurrection_n be_v make_v know_v therefore_o he_o say_v that_o mary_n come_v the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o sabbath_n it_o be_v word_n for_o word_n one_o but_o it_o be_v a_o common_a thing_n amongst_o the_o hebritian_n to_o put_v one_o in_o stead_n of_o first_o because_o number_n begin_v with_o one_o and_o for_o as_o much_o as_o every_o seven_o day_n be_v ordain_v to_o rest_v in_o they_o call_v all_o the_o whole_a week_n the_o sabaoth_n give_v this_o honour_n to_o the_o holiness_n of_o the_o day_n that_o they_o call_v the_o rest_n of_o the_o time_n by_o that_o name_n therefore_o the_o woman_n come_v unto_o the_o sepulchre_n on_o the_o morrow_n after_o the_o sabaoth_n for_o as_o much_o as_o they_o have_v buy_v odour_n the_o same_o day_n yet_o after_o the_o sun_n be_v set_v and_o second_o see_v that_o they_o be_v go_v out_o of_o the_o city_n when_o as_o it_o be_v yet_o dark_a as_o it_o fall_v out_o in_o fearful_a matter_n it_o be_v the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o sabbath_n in_o respect_n of_o the_o next_o sabaoth_n because_o it_o be_v the_o beginning_n of_o the_o week_n the_o end_n whereof_o the_o sabaoth_n be_v therefore_o simon_n peter_n go_v forth_o it_o be_v a_o marvel_v that_o seeinge_v there_o be_v such_o a_o weak_a and_o almost_o no_o faith_n as_o well_o in_o the_o disciple_n as_o in_o the_o woman_n there_o be_v so_o great_a zeal_n in_o they_o and_o sure_o it_o can_v be_v but_o that_o godliness_n enforce_v they_o to_o seek_v christ._n therefore_o there_o remain_v some_o seed_n of_o faith_n in_o their_o heart_n but_o yet_o it_o be_v choke_v for_o a_o time_n so_o that_o they_o know_v not_o that_o they_o have_v that_o which_o they_o have_v so_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n do_v oftentimes_o work_v in_o the_o elect_a after_o a_o hide_a manner_n in_o sum_n we_o must_v hold_v that_o there_o be_v some_o hide_a root_n from_o which_o we_o see_v fruit_n proceed_v and_o although_o this_o feel_n of_o godliness_n which_o they_o have_v be_v confuse_v and_o entangle_v in_o much_o superstition_n yet_o do_v i_o give_v it_o
