chief_a and_o principal_a meditation_n which_o we_o require_v of_o you_o in_o this_o object_n be_v three_o thing_n i._o of_o christ_n great_a debase_v and_o make_v himself_o as_o it_o be_v nothing_o ii_o of_o the_o horror_n and_o grievousnesse_n of_o sin_n as_o the_o direct_a opposition_n of_o the_o perfect_a sanctity_n and_o absolute_a holiness_n of_o god_n iii_o of_o the_o immense_a love_n and_o charity_n of_o jesus_n christ_n towards_o us._n i_o speak_v first_o of_o christ_n great_a debase_v and_o esteem_v himself_o nothing_o for_o if_o you_o former_o understand_v and_o remember_v jesus_n christ_n abase_v himself_o so_o low_o as_o to_o clothe_v and_o incorporate_v himself_o with_o our_o wretched_a nature_n and_o to_o make_v himself_o after_o the_o simple_a semblance_n of_o man_n but_o here_o behold_v he_o now_o he_o make_v himself_o less_o than_o man_n as_o he_o say_v in_o the_o psalm_n 22.6_o psal_n 22.6_o i_o be_o a_o worm_n and_o no_o man_n the_o shame_n of_o man_n and_o the_o contempt_n of_o the_o people_n behold_v how_o he_o make_v himself_o a_o sacrifice_n and_o assume_v and_o take_v on_o he_o the_o condition_n of_o beast_n which_o be_v slay_v in_o the_o ancient_a law_n for_o the_o sin_n of_o man_n o_o lord_n jesus_n who_o can_v sufficient_o comprehend_v the_o depth_n of_o this_o thy_o extreme_a humiliation_n and_o make_v thyself_o as_o nothing_o who_o from_o the_o heavenly_a throne_n of_o thy_o glory_n have_v be_v place_v in_o form_n of_o a_o victim_n upon_o the_o altar_n of_o the_o cross_n and_o that_o thou_o will_v die_v yea_o die_v a_o shameful_a and_o most_o ignominious_a death_n for_o we_o according_a as_o it_o be_v write_v 3.13_o gal._n 3.13_o curse_a be_v every_o one_o that_o hang_v on_o a_o tree_n from_o this_o pass_v we_o on_o to_o the_o second_o thing_n which_o be_v the_o consideration_n of_o the_o horror_n grieveousnesse_n yea_o and_o the_o odiousness_n of_o sin_n for_o i_o pray_v you_o how_o wicked_a be_v it_o in_o itself_o and_o how_o execrable_a in_o the_o eye_n of_o god_n that_o the_o only_a son_n of_o god_n must_v needs_o suffer_v such_o grievous_a pain_n and_o torment_n the_o law_n do_v well_o show_v the_o odiousnes_n and_o abomination_n of_o sin_n by_o the_o sacrifice_n and_o aspersion_n of_o blood_n which_o it_o require_v for_o the_o expiation_n thereof_o but_o all_o that_o be_v nothing_o in_o comparison_n of_o this_o which_o the_o gospel_n show_v we_o because_o these_o sacrifice_n and_o aspersion_n of_o the_o law_n be_v of_o beast_n and_o of_o the_o blood_n of_o beast_n but_o here_o it_o be_v the_o only_o beget_v son_n of_o god_n who_o have_v be_v give_v to_o death_n to_o expiate_v sin_n and_o to_o cover_v the_o foulness_n and_o enormity_n thereof_o behold_v then_o o_o sinner_n with_o astonishment_n by_o the_o greatness_n of_o the_o satisfaction_n the_o horror_n of_o this_o sin_n and_o thereby_o to_o learn_v to_o hate_v and_o detest_v it_o nature_n to_o show_v how_o grievous_a and_o odious_a sin_n be_v since_o the_o fall_n of_o adam_n become_v harry_v over_o with_o thorn_n and_o brier_n and_o change_v many_o of_o her_o plant_n into_o poison_n the_o air_n grow_v thick_a

who_o against_o sin_n and_o to_o the_o end_n and_o intent_n to_o expiate_v and_o destroy_v it_o deliver_v up_o to_o death_n that_o which_o it_o have_v and_o hold_v dear_a and_o to_o reproach_n and_o

destroy_v himself_o and_o here_o consider_v and_o meditate_v further_o how_o odious_a sin_n be_v to_o god_n let_v we_o admire_v how_o perfect_a god_n justice_n and_o sanctity_n be_v &_o let_v we_o say_v that_o here_o it_o be_v where_o this_o sanctity_n manife_v itself_o at_o full_a in_o her_o bright_a orient_a it_o be_v in_o this_o mystery_n that_o the_o seraphim_n cry_n holy_a holy_a holy_a the_o eternal_a of_o army_n for_o if_o he_o show_v forth_o his_o righteousness_n and_o sanctity_n here_o below_o in_o punish_v and_o ruine_v some_o of_o his_o creature_n by_o his_o judgement_n how_o

which_o we_o require_v of_o you_o wherein_o we_o may_v behold_v the_o exreame_n debase_v &_o annihilate_v of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n to_o see_v the_o immense_a love_n both_o of_o this_o heavenly_a

man_n be_v there_o any_o mind_n or_o spirit_n though_o angelical_a which_o can_v be_v ravish_v and_o swallow_v up_o heereat_o profane_a infidel_n and_o atheist_n who_o be_v incredulous_a of_o the_o mystery_n of_o the_o christian_a faith_n know_v you_o that_o it_o show_v you_o the_o high_a charity_n and_o perfect_a sanctity_n that_o the_o heart_n or_o wit_n of_o man_n can_v possible_o comprehend_v or_o conceive_v and_o of_o god_n be_v a_o sovereign_a sanctity_n a_o immense_a charity_n and_o goodness_n as_o his_o be_v can_v be_v but_o all_o perfection_n know_v that_o the_o new_a testament_n show_v god_n to_o man_n and_o reveal_v they_o this_o unexpressable_a and_o incomprehensible_a sanctity_n and_o charity_n which_o be_v the_o same_o that_o saint_n john_n say_v 4.16_o 1._o john_n 4.16_o god_n be_v love_n and_o he_o that_o dwell_v in_o love_n dwell_v in_o god_n and_o god_n in_o he_o etc._n etc._n that_o god_n be_v charity_n and_o in_o this_o be_v manifest_v his_o charity_n for_o that_o god_n have_v send_v his_o only_a son_n into_o the_o world_n to_o the_o end_n that_o we_o live_v by_o he_o and_o in_o this_o again_o be_v charity_n not_o that_o we_o have_v love_v god_n but_o because_o he_o have_v love_v we_o and_o have_v give_v his_o son_n to_o be_v a_o propitiation_n for_o our_o sin_n and_o here_o it_o be_v that_o the_o new_a testament_n have_v many_o great_a advantage_n and_o singular_a benefit_n and_o prerogative_n above_o the_o old_a one_o of_o the_o law_n see_v that_o herein_o god_n full_o discover_v the_o rich_a treasure_n of_o his_o goodness_n in_o nature_n we_o see_v god_n goodness_n towards_o man_n for_o that_o for_o a_o time_n he_o entertain_v and_o maintain_v himself_o in_o life_n by_o the_o death_n of_o beast_n who_o flesh_n serve_v he_o for_o food_n and_o sustenance_n but_o here_o god_n give_v and_o purchase_v to_o man_n a_o eternal_a life_n by_o the_o death_n of_o his_o only_a son_n here_o he_o give_v to_o man_n not_o his_o creature_n as_o in_o the_o creation_n but_o his_o only_a well_o belove_a son_n himself_o yea_o and_o to_o sinful_a man_n wherefore_o it_o be_v that_o the_o apostle_n affirm_v to_o the_o corinthian_n 3.18_o 2._o cor._n 3.18_o we_o all_o behold_v as_o in_o a_o mirror_n the_o glory_n of_o the_o lord_n with_o open_a face_n and_o jesus_n christ_n tell_v we_o that_o none_o have_v ever_o

and_o how_o he_o make_v himself_o palpable_o visible_a to_o you_o by_o this_o immense_a love_n and_o charity_n which_o this_o sacrament_n of_o the_o eucharist_n present_v and_o represent_v to_o your_o eye_n if_o then_o on_o these_o word_n this_o be_v my_o body_n you_o have_v meditate_a on_o the_o love_n and_o charity_n of_o christ_n humble_v himself_o so_o low_o as_o to_o clothe_v himself_o with_o our_o weak_a body_n and_o nature_n then_o meditate_v on_o this_o great_a degree_n of_o charity_n which_o have_v cause_v he_o to_o assume_v the_o form_n of_o a_o servant_n for_o we_o which_o be_v already_o exceed_v much_o to_o he_o who_o be_v the_o creator_n and_o the_o king_n of_o glory_n
jesus_n to_o death_n yea_o to_o the_o shameful_a death_n of_o the_o cross_n for_o our_o redemption_n and_o that_o he_o be_v so_o gracious_a a_o god_n and_o so_o merciful_a and_o indulgent_a a_o

of_o god_n by_o reason_n of_o our_o sin_n and_o transgression_n that_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n must_v be_v satisfy_v &_o consequent_o that_o either_o we_o must_v bear_v god_n wrath_n and_o

to_o satisfy_v the_o justice_n of_o god_n but_o nothing_o can_v be_v find_v out_o in_o the_o whole_a world_n to_o be_v appoint_v in_o the_o place_n of_o man_n and_o worthy_o to_o satisfy_v for_o his_o sin_n from_o the_o beginning_n of_o the_o world_n beast_n have_v be_v offer_v and_o these_o sacrifice_n of_o beast_n by_o the_o sense_n and_o feeling_n which_o our_o conscience_n have_v ever_o give_v to_o man_n of_o a_o sufficient_a &_o valable_a satisfaction_n for_o sin_n have_v be_v practise_v in_o all_o the_o whole_a world_n in_o the_o old_a law_n a_o man_n come_v and_o put_v his_o hand_n on_o the_o head_n of_o the_o beast_n which_o be_v to_o be_v sacrifice_v as_o put_v she_o in_o his_o place_n and_o room_n with_o a_o intent_n and_o hope_n to_o discharge_v and_o transfer_v his_o sin_n on_o she_o but_o contrariwise_o natural_a reason_n show_v that_o that_o can_v no_o way_n appease_v or_o satisfy_v god_n for_o god_n justice_n be_v of_o itself_o most_o perfect_a can_v no_o way_n content_v itself_o with_o a_o payment_n or_o satisfaction_n so_o unequal_a and_o imperfect_a to_o the_o debt_n because_o all_o the_o beast_n of_o the_o earth_n place_v and_o number_v up_o together_o be_v not_o

this_o be_v my_o body_n you_o must_v figure_v and_o represent_v he_o to_o you_o as_o proffer_v and_o offer_v up_o to_o god_n his_o father_n these_o admirable_a word_n and_o speech_n recite_v by_o the_o apostle_n to_o the_o hebrew_n 10._o hebr._n 10._o thou_o will_v have_v no_o sacrifice_n or_o offer_v but_o thou_o have_v give_v and_o appropriate_v i_o a_o body_n thou_o have_v take_v no_o

here_o christ_n jesus_n come_v to_o present_v himself_o in_o the_o place_n and_o steed_n of_o all_o these_o sacrifice_n which_o have_v be_v offer_v up_o under_o the_o law_n and_o which_o be_v daily_o

shall_v take_v and_o wash_v away_o sin_n and_o therefore_o my_o belove_a brethren_n observe_v here_o the_o readiness_n and_o favour_n which_o the_o providence_n of_o god_n make_v and_o provide_v for_o you_o of_o a_o most_o convenient_a and_o requisite_a victim_n and_o oblation_n when_o isaac_n be_v to_o be_v sacrifice_v there_o be_v a_o ram_n find_v tie_v by_o the_o horn_n to_o a_o bush_n to_o be_v sacrifice_v for_o he_o but_o here_o o_o sinner_n behold_v in_o these_o word_n this_o be_v my_o body_n that_o great_a sacrifice_n and_o oblation_n which_o the_o wonder_n of_o god_n divine_a providence_n have_v address_v and_o send_v you_o and_o rejoice_v that_o here_o be_v the_o true_a sacrifice_n or_o victim_n which_o come_v to_o assist_v and_o defend_v you_o from_o god_n heavy_a wrath_n and_o indignation_n but_o jesus_n christ_n as_o be_v simple_o god_n can_v not_o present_v himself_o in_o a_o sacrifice_n for_o man_n for_o there_o want_v a_o humane_a sacrifice_n because_o sin_n have_v be_v commit_v and_o perpetrate_v by_o man_n wherefore_o our_o saviour_n christ_n tell_v you_o this_o be_v my_o body_n he_o say_v not_o this_o i_o be_o but_z this_o be_v my_o body_n thereby_o purposely_o to_o conduct_v and_o lead_v you_o to_o the_o mystery_n of_o his_o incarnation_n whereby_o he_o be_v descend_v from_o heaven_n have_v take_v and_o assume_v a_o carnal_a body_n and_o be_v make_v man_n for_o we_o so_o that_o conjoint_o with_o these_o word_n you_o at_o one_o time_n see_v your_o great_a sacrifice_n take_v from_o earth_n and_o yet_o descend_v from_o heaven_n take_v from_o earth_n for_o it_o be_v a_o body_n descend_v from_o heaven_n for_o it_o be_v my_o body_n say_v our_o saviour_n jesus_n christ_n that_o be_v to_o say_v of_o i_o true_a god_n with_o the_o father_n here_o therefore_o be_v the_o wonder_n which_o you_o ought_v to_o meditate_v on_o that_o nothing_o be_v find_v in_o all_o the_o world_n no_o nor_o in_o the_o infinite_a multitude_n and_o infinity_n of_o all_o god_n creature_n which_o can_v be_v capable_a to_o be_v our_o ransom_n towards_o god_n then_o lo_o jesus_n christ_n himself_o the_o only_a son_n of_o god_n descend_v so_o low_a as_o he_o make_v himself_o man_n and_o a_o creature_n to_o the_o end_n that_o he_o may_v be_v offer_v up_o a_o sacrifice_n for_o we_o he_o who_o essence_n be_v whole_o simple_a and_o spiritual_a assume_v a_o body_n and_o be_v material_a and_o carnal_a he_o who_o be_v invisible_a to_o our_o eye_n have_v make_v himself_o conspicuous_a and_o visible_a to_o we_o permit_v and_o suffer_v himself_o to_o be_v beat_v tie_v and_o nail_v to_o a_o cross_n yea_o to_o be_v run_v through_o with_o a_o spear_n and_o in_o a_o word_n capable_a to_o be_v sacrifice_v and_o here_o you_o may_v know_v and_o find_v why_o jesus_n christ_n hold_v the_o bread_n say_v not_o this_o be_v my_o divinity_n but_z this_o be_v my_o body_n that_o be_v to_o say_v because_o not_o his_o divine_a but_o only_o his_o humane_a nature_n can_v be_v offer_v up_o in_o sacrifice_n the_o divinity_n be_v well_o consider_v but_o still_o as_o offering_n not_o as_o offer_v according_a as_o the_o apostle_n say_v to_o the_o hebrew_n 9.14_o heb._n 9.14_o that_o jesus_n christ_n offer_v himself_o up_o to_o god_n by_o the_o eternal_a spirit_n by_o which_o mean_n it_o be_v not_o the_o eternal_a spirit_n which_o have_v be_v offer_v for_o that_o which_o be_v offer_v be_v to_o die_v but_o the_o body_n have_v be_v offer_v by_o the_o eternal_a spirit_n and_o here_o arise_v unto_o we_o another_o wonder_n to_o wit_n that_o although_o christ_n humane_a nature_n be_v offer_v nevertheless_o it_o be_v of_o as_o great_a a_o price_n and_o value_n as_o if_o his_o divinity_n itself_o can_v have_v be_v offer_v and_o the_o reason_n hereof_o be_v because_o this_o his_o humane_a nature_n compose_v not_o but_o one_o and_o the_o same_o person_n with_o the_o divine_a nature_n for_o this_o body_n which_o be_v crucify_v be_v personal_o unite_v to_o the_o eternal_a spirit_n and_o this_o miracle_n or_o wonder_n be_v give_v you_o for_o your_o meditation_n in_o that_o jesus_n christ_n hold_v the_o bread_n say_v not_o indefinite_o this_o be_v my_o body_n which_o be_v break_v for_o you_o but_o this_o be_v my_o body_n as_o if_o he_o say_v this_o be_v a_o humane_a body_n and_o yet_o i_o to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v know_v that_o this_o vivify_a or_o quicken_a flesh_n that_o be_v to_o say_v to_o be_v a_o worthy_a ransom_n for_o the_o life_n of_o the_o world_n sith_o it_o be_v the_o flesh_n of_o a_o man_n who_o be_v both_o god_n and_o man_n in_o the_o leviticall_a law_n moses_n sprinkle_v of_o blood_n when_o god_n contract_v alliance_n with_o the_o israelite_n say_v this_o be_v the_o blood_n of_o the_o
