my_o treatise_n of_o the_o resolution_n of_o pilate_n and_o therefore_o now_o i_o will_v but_o only_o desire_v all_o man_n to_o consider_v that_o see_v christ_n be_v a_o king_n and_o yet_o refuse_v all_o pomp_n of_o worldly_a vanity_n yea_o rex_fw-la fieri_fw-la noluit_fw-la this_o king_n will_v not_o be_v make_v a_o king_n in_o this_o world_n because_o his_o kingdom_n be_v spiritual_a and_o so_o not_o of_o this_o world_n he_o be_v a_o king_n of_o righteousness_n then_o why_o shall_v not_o we_o his_o subject_n imitate_v this_o our_o king_n herein_o it_o be_v report_v of_o king_n alexander_n world_n that_o we_o shall_v not_o too_o eager_o seek_v for_o the_o thing_n of_o this_o world_n that_o his_o soldier_n will_v imitate_v he_o even_o in_o his_o stoop_n and_o if_o they_o imitate_v he_o in_o his_o vice_n why_o shall_v not_o we_o imitate_v our_o king_n christ_n jesus_n in_o his_o virtue_n his_o kingdom_n be_v spiritual_a and_o he_o be_v a_o spiritual_a king_n and_o therefore_o if_o we_o will_v be_v his_o subject_n we_o must_v be_v spiritual_a man_n and_o we_o must_v utter_o despise_v these_o worldly_a vanity_n for_o it_o be_v possible_a we_o shall_v do_v both_o we_o can_v serve_v god_n and_o mammon_n we_o can_v be_v fill_v with_o temporal_a and_o spiritual_a thing_n at_o once_o for_o if_o thy_o hand_n be_v full_a of_o counter_n thou_o must_v throw_v away_o the_o same_o before_o thou_o can_v fill_v it_o with_o gold_n say_v saint_n chrysostome_n even_o so_o if_o thy_o heart_n be_v full_a of_o the_o riches_n of_o this_o worldly_a kingdom_n there_o can_v be_v no_o room_n for_o spiritual_a riches_n why_o then_o do_v we_o not_o seek_v to_o be_v rich_a heliodor_n jeron_n de_fw-fr vita_fw-la solit_fw-la in_o ep_v ad_fw-la heliodor_n in_o christ_n

his_o kingdom_n 3._o he_o be_v anoint_v to_o be_v a_o prophet_n prophet_n that_o christ_n be_v anoint_v to_o be_v a_o prophet_n for_o i_o will_v raise_v they_o a_o prophet_n from_o the_o midst_n of_o their_o brethren_n like_v unto_o thou_o he_o shall_v they_o hear_v and_o therefore_o he_o be_v call_v pacis_fw-la annunciator_fw-la &_o dei_fw-la fidelissimus_fw-la testis_fw-la the_o proclaimer_n of_o our_o peace_n and_o god_n most_o faithful_a witness_n and_o therefore_o the_o lord_n say_v that_o whosoever_o will_v not_o hear_v that_o prophet_n that_o soul_n shall_v be_v cut_v off_o from_o

of_o future_a thing_n all_o these_o he_o do_v himself_o while_o he_o be_v on_o earth_n and_o now_o likewise_o by_o his_o spirit_n inward_o &_o by_o the_o preacher_n outward_o he_o inform_v his_o

far_o high_a than_o mount_n hermon_n as_o hugo_n cardinalis_fw-la do_v observe_v and_o therefore_o this_o must_v be_v understand_v of_o that_o spiritual_a oil_n of_o gladness_n the_o most_o

excellent_a grace_n of_o god_n spirit_n that_o be_v pour_v upon_o the_o head_n christ_n jesus_n without_o measure_n and_o thence_o run_v down_o upon_o the_o beard_n i_o the_o apostle_n and_o

the_o grace_n of_o god_n spirit_n odor_n bone_fw-la sumus_fw-la deo_fw-la we_o smell_v sweet_o in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n we_o be_v like_o the_o smell_n of_o a_o pleasant_a field_n which_o the_o

and_o 2._o you_o see_v how_o christ_n be_v anoint_v to_o be_v king_n priest_n and_o prophet_n which_o shall_v teach_v we_o two_o especial_a lesson_n 1._o the_o dignity_n the_o superiority_n and_o

sufficient_a argument_n of_o sovereignty_n for_o if_o you_o pour_v water_n wine_n vinegar_n and_o oil_n together_o they_o say_v oil_n will_v needs_o be_v uppermost_a 2._o they_o be_v not_o only_o

it_o be_v apply_v and_o therefore_o this_o shall_v teach_v all_o man_n to_o render_v unto_o these_o their_o due_a respect_n and_o to_o beware_v of_o the_o contradiction_n of_o corah_n lest_o we_o fall_v into_o the_o same_o destruction_n but_o it_o may_v be_v some_o will_v say_v what_o if_o these_o anoint_a prove_v wicked_a if_o king_n prove_v tyrant_n priest_n heretic_n and_o prophet_n lewd_a
