of_o life_n so_o then_o as_o we_o be_v crucify_v with_o christ_n unto_o sin_n and_o dead_a and_o bury_v thereto_o so_o must_v we_o rise_v again_o with_o he_o unto_o righteousness_n but_o of_o this_o more_z god_n will_v in_o that_o article_n of_o his_o resurrection_n the_o last_o thing_n to_o be_v note_v in_o this_o death_n of_o christ_n be_v the_o pain_n which_o he_o suffer_v which_o be_v call_v his_o descension_n into_o hell_n although_o this_o be_v last_o in_o word_n yet_o in_o sense_n it_o be_v to_o be_v join_v with_o his_o crucify_a and_o go_v before_o his_o death_n in_o body_n and_o burial_n in_o the_o sepulchre_n the_o meaning_n therefore_o of_o this_o his_o descension_n be_v this_o that_o christ_n our_o saviour_n to_o redeem_v we_o both_o in_o body_n and_o soul_n which_o have_v

his_o father_n in_o this_o hell_n and_o torment_n partly_o he_o be_v in_o his_o heavy_a agony_n in_o the_o garden_n when_o he_o sweat_n as_o it_o be_v tear_n of_o blood_n trickle_v down_o from_o his_o

for_o the_o very_a anguish_n and_o grief_n of_o heart_n and_o soul_n 1._o to_o say_v and_o cry_v out_o o_o my_o god_n 46._o my_o god_n why_o have_v thou_o forsake_v i_o so_o that_o all_o the_o thing_n that_o christ_n suffer_v before_o be_v nothing_o to_o this_o that_o now_o he_o suffer_v when_o he_o cry_v out_o for_o very_a pain_n &_o extreme_a sorrow_n of_o mind_n for_o we_o must_v remember_v that_o christ_n upon_o the_o cross_n do_v not_o only_o suffer_v pain_n in_o body_n as_o they_o do_v which_o be_v crucify_v with_o he_o which_o be_v the_o pain_n that_o the_o jew_n do_v put_v he_o to_o but_o far_a he_o suffer_v the_o extreme_a wrath_n of_o god_n his_o father_n hang_v upon_o he_o heavy_a than_o heaven_n and_o earth_n which_o no_o angel_n be_v able_a to_o endure_v &_o therefore_o that_o he_o may_v be_v able_a to_o endure_v and_o to_o conquer_v it_o it_o be_v necessary_a that_o he_o shall_v be_v god_n also_o as_o well_o as_o man_n for_o he_o suffer_v for_o all_o the_o sin_n original_a and_o actual_a in_o thought_n word_n and_o deed_n of_o all_o man_n that_o ever_o be_v or_o be_v or_o shall_v be_v from_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o world_n from_o adam_n until_o the_o end_n of_o it_o i_o say_v he_o have_v suffer_v sufficient_o for_o they_o all_o and_o as_o great_a pain_n and_o torment_n as_o any_o damn_a soul_n in_o hell_n can_v or_o shall_v suffer_v and_o be_v not_o this_o a_o hell_n trow_v you_o unto_o our_o saviour_n to_o abide_v in_o his_o body_n and_o soul_n all_o these_o torment_n which_o can_v not_o be_v utter_v with_o any_o eloquence_n or_o tongue_n of_o

that_o we_o may_v be_v perfect_o redeem_v in_o both_o part_n both_o body_n and_o soul_n that_o he_o shoule_fw-mi feel_v the_o severe_a punishment_n of_o the_o vengeance_n of_o god_n because_o he_o

for_o we_o see_v they_o cry_v not_o out_o as_o christ_n do_v for_o they_o feel_v not_o so_o much_o as_o he_o do_v which_o suffer_v for_o the_o whole_a world_n and_o all_o this_o be_v for_o our_o
