therefore_o be_v in_o the_o whole_a man_n both_o body_n and_o soul_n therefore_o when_o as_o we_o read_v of_o the_o wrath_n of_o the_o lamb_n as_o revel_v 6._o 16._o namely_o against_o his_o enemy_n as_o here_o of_o his_o pity_n and_o compassion_n towards_o his_o friend_n and_o member_n why_o shall_v this_o be_v attribute_v only_o to_o his_o deity_n which_o be_v not_o capable_a of_o wrath_n or_o

in_o the_o day_n of_o his_o flesh_n be_v in_o they_o and_o how_o exact_o to_o difference_n those_o which_o christ_n have_v here_o and_o those_o which_o he_o have_v in_o heaven_n therein_o lie_v the_o difficulty_n and_o i_o can_v speak_v but_o little_a unto_o it_o yet_o first_o this_o we_o may_v lay_v down_o as_o a_o undoubted_a maxim_n that_o so_o far_o or_o in_o what_o sense_n his_o body_n itself_o be_v make_v spiritual_a as_o it_o be_v call_v 1_o cor._n 15._o 44._o so_o far_o and_o in_o that_o sense_n all_o such_o affection_n as_o thus_o work_v in_o his_o body_n be_v make_v spiritual_a and_o that_o in_o a_o opposition_n to_o that_o fleshly_a and_o frail_a way_n of_o their_o work_n here_o but_o then_o as_o his_o body_n be_v make_v spiritual_a not_o spirit_n spiritual_a in_o respect_n of_o power_n and_o likeness_n to_o a_o spirit_n not_o in_o respect_n of_o substance_n or_o nature_n so_o these_o affection_n of_o pity_n and_o compassion_n do_v work_v not_o only_o in_o his_o spirit_n or_o soul_n but_o in_o his_o body_n too_o as_o their_o seat_n and_o instrument_n though_o in_o a_o more_o spiritual_a way_n of_o work_v and_o more_o like_a to_o that_o of_o spirit_n than_o those_o in_o a_o fleshly_a frail_a body_n be_v they_o be_v not_o whole_o spiritual_a in_o this_o sense_n that_o the_o soul_n be_v the_o sole_a subject_n of_o they_o and_o that_o it_o draw_v up_o all_o such_o working_n into_o itself_o so_o that_o that_o shall_v be_v the_o difference_n between_o his_o affection_n now_o and_o in_o the_o day_n of_o his_o flesh_n man_n be_v not_o to_o conceive_v as_o if_o his_o body_n be_v turn_v into_o such_o a_o substance_n as_o the_o sun_n be_v of_o for_o the_o soul_n as_o through_o a_o case_n of_o glass_n to_o shine_v glorious_o in_o only_a but_o further_o it_o be_v unite_v to_o the_o soul_n to_o be_v act_v by_o it_o though_o immediate_o for_o the_o soul_n to_o produce_v operation_n in_o it_o and_o it_o be_v call_v spiritual_a not_o that_o it_o remain_v not_o a_o body_n but_o because_o it_o remain_v not_o such_o a_o body_n but_o be_v so_o frame_v to_o the_o soul_n that_o both_o itself_o and_o all_o the_o operation_n of_o all_o the_o power_n in_o it_o be_v immediate_o and_o entire_o at_o the_o arbitrary_a imperium_fw-la &_o dominion_n of_o the_o soul_n &_o that_o as_o the_o soul_n be_v please_v to_o use_v it_o and_o to_o sway_v it_o and_o move_v it_o even_o as_o immediate_o and_o as_o nimble_o and_o without_o any_o clog_n or_o impediment_n as_o a_o angel_n move_v itself_o or_o as_o the_o soul_n act_v itself_o so_o that_o this_o may_v perhaps_o be_v one_o difference_n that_o these_o affection_n so_o far_o as_o in_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n do_v not_o affect_v his_o soul_n as_o here_o they_o do_v though_o as_o then_o under_o the_o command_n of_o grace_n and_o reason_n to_o keep_v their_o motion_n from_o be_v inordinate_a or_o sinful_a but_o further_a the_o soul_n be_v now_o too_o strong_a for_o they_o do_v as_o its_o own_o arbitrement_n raise_v they_o and_o as_o entire_o and_o immediate_o stir_v they_o as_o it_o do_v itself_o hence_o 2._o these_o affection_n of_o pity_n and_o sympathy_n so_o stir_v up_o by_o himself_o though_o they_o move_v his_o bowel_n and_o affect_v his_o bodily_a heart_n as_o they_o do_v here_o yet_o they_o do_v not_o afflict_v and_o perturb_v he_o in_o the_o least_o nor_o become_v they_o a_o burden_n &_o a_o load_n unto_o his_o spirit_n so_o as_o to_o make_v he_o sorrowful_a or_o heavy_a as_o in_o this_o life_n here_o his_o pity_n unto_o lazarus_n make_v he_o and_o as_o his_o distress_n at_o last_o that_o make_v he_o sorrowful_a unto_o death_n so_o that_o as_o in_o their_o rise_n so_o in_o their_o effect_n they_o utter_o differ_v from_o what_o they_o be_v here_o below_o and_o the_o reason_n of_o this_o be_v because_o his_o body_n and_o the_o blood_n and_o spirit_n thereof_o the_o instrument_n of_o affect_v he_o be_v now_o altogether_o impassable_a namely_o in_o this_o sense_n that_o they_o be_v not_o capable_a of_o the_o least_o alteration_n tend_v to_o any_o hurt_n what_o ever_o and_o so_o his_o body_n be_v not_o subject_a to_o any_o grief_n nor_o his_o spirit_n to_o any_o waist_n decay_n or_o expense_n they_o may_v and_o do_v subserve_v the_o soul_n in_o its_o affection_n as_o they_o do_v whilst_o he_o be_v here_o but_o this_o mere_o by_o a_o local_a motion_n

thus_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o though_o this_o blood_n and_o spirit_n do_v stir_v up_o the_o same_o affection_n in_o his_o heart_n and_o bowel_n which_o here_o they_o do_v yet_o not_o as_o

become_v love_v and_o merciful_a unto_o man_n as_o one_o man_n be_v to_o another_o and_o so_o that_o what_o before_o be_v but_o improper_o speak_v and_o by_o way_n of_o metaphor_n and_o similitude_n in_o the_o old_a testament_n so_o to_o convey_v it_o to_o our_o apprehension_n may_v now_o be_v true_o attribute_v unto_o he_o in_o the_o reality_n that_o god_n may_v be_v for_o ever_o say_v to_o be_v
