glory_n of_o his_o beauty_n in_o his_o creature_n but_o the_o joint_a stock_n of_o their_o whole_a life_n can_v no_o more_o express_v he_o then_o can_v a_o glow-worm_n the_o jubar_fw-la of_o the_o sun_n o_o fix_v thy_o eye_n here_o for_o ever_o and_o lose_v thy_o sight_n together_o with_o this_o object_n consider_v o_o my_o soul_n that_o to_o ransom_n thou_o this_o master_n piece_n this_o utmost_a endeavour_n of_o nature_n and_o the_o holy_a ghost_n offer_v himself_o a_o most_o willing_a sacrifice_n rise_v say_v he_o behold_v he_o be_v at_o hand_n that_o do_v betray_v i_o and_o in_o another_o place_n it_o be_v say_v jesus_n therefore_o know_v all_o these_o thing_n that_o shall_v come_v upon_o he_o go_v forth_o and_o say_v unto_o they_o who_o seekyee_o they_o answer_v he_o jesus_n of_o nazareth_n jesus_n say_v unto_o they_o i_o be_o he_o etc._n etc._n here_o he_o meet_v sedition_n half_a way_n gaze_v she_o in_o the_o face_n and_o fearless_o confess_v his_o name_n sum._n and_o some_o learned_a divine_v think_v that_o he_o will_v not_o die_v by_o disease_n or_o age_n lest_o he_o shall_v seem_v to_o leave_v this_o life_n against_o his_o will_n or_o out_o of_o natural_a infinite_a common_a to_o all_o but_o with_o his_o unvaluable_a worth_n balance_v the_o affront_v and_o misery_n he_o endure_v 1._o this_o lord_n of_o lord_n that_o free_v the_o captive_a and_o illuminate_v the_o blind_a be_v apprehend_v and_o bind_v like_o a_o thief_n 2._o nay_o they_o prefer_v a_o thief_n and_o a_o murderer_n before_o he_o demand_v barrabas_n to_o be_v release_v and_o he_o to_o be_v crucify_a 3._o call_v to_o mind_n again_o oh_o my_o soul_n that_o for_o thy_o crime_n he_o carry_v his_o own_o ponderous_a cross_n and_o groan_v under_o the_o weight_n of_o it_o which_o that_o the_o other_o two_o do_v that_o suffer_v with_o he_o we_o read_v not_o 4._o meditate_v also_o that_o for_o thou_o he_o be_v scourge_v in_o which_o he_o undergo_v divers_a punishment_n due_a to_o several_a offender_n it_o be_v the_o custom_n among_o the_o ancient_n to_o strike_v the_o indocible_a on_o the_o head_n their_o servant_n which_o they_o cast_v out_o of_o door_n on_o the_o neck_n

wand_n or_o rod_n his_o face_n and_o neck_n with_o their_o fist_n and_o his_o whole_a body_n they_o whip_v with_o rod_n and_o scourge_n 5._o but_o weigh_v withal_o that_o the_o lash_v give_v his_o soul_n by_o the_o tongue_n of_o blasphemer_n and_o derider_n be_v more_o intolerable_a than_o the_o former_a 6._o contemplate_v too_o that_o his_o torment_n be_v much_o augment_v by_o the_o very_a thought_n of_o the_o infamous_a company_n he_o suffer_v with_o for_o they_o place_v he_o in_o the_o midst_n between_o two_o thief_n as_o if_o he_o have_v be_v their_o instructor_n and_o seducer_n 7._o neither_o can_v thou_o believe_v o_o my_o soul_n but_o as_o he_o have_v more_o grace_n so_o he_o have_v more_o shame_n than_o other_o man_n which_o must_v needs_o be_v infinite_a in_o that_o he_o be_v become_v a_o naked_a spectacle_n to_o his_o great_a enemy_n not_o have_v any_o veil_n to_o cover_v those_o part_n which_o humane_a nature_n will_v have_v hide_v from_o the_o eye_n 8._o he_o suffer_v

forsake_v 9_o and_o he_o be_v grievious_o trouble_v in_o mind_n which_o do_v compassionate_a his_o fellow_n feeler_n stand_v under_o the_o cross_n as_o his_o mother_n and_o other_o and_o repine_v at_o the_o insolent_a fury_n of_o his_o foe_n 10._o his_o fame_n and_o reputation_n dear_a to_o he_o as_o his_o own_o eye_n be_v not_o only_o question_v but_o defile_v with_o false_a and_o base_a aspersion_n for_o they_o term_v he_o a_o seducer_n observe_v also_o o_o my_o soul_n that_o he_o suffer_v in_o regard_n of_o the_o place_n the_o time_n and_o the_o manner_n of_o his_o death_n 11._o first_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o place_n which_o be_v jerusalem_n itself_o where_o he_o be_v once_o well_o know_v &_o honour_v for_o the_o miracle_n he_o have_v there_o perform_v 12._o second_o in_o consideration_n of_o the_o time_n of_o the_o year_n and_o of_o the_o day_n the_o feast_n of_o the_o passeover_n be_v then_o celebrate_v which_o to_o solemnite_fw-la a_o great_a multitude_n ând_v concourse_n of_o people_n resort_v thither_o ââ_o that_o he_o have_v the_o eye_n of_o all_o the_o world_n upon_o he_o again_o it_o be_v upon_o the_o six_o hour_n of_o the_o day_n with_o we_o the_o twelve_o when_o all_o man_n be_v up_o &_o ready_a &_o walk_v abroad_o 13._o three_o in_o regard_n of_o the_o kind_n of_o death_n he_o do_v undergo_v to_o with_o the_o curse_a death_n of_o the_o cross_n 14._o remember_v also_o o_o my_o better_a half_n that_o his_o passion_n be_v aggravate_v by_o reason_n of_o the_o natural_a complexion_n of_o his_o body_n for_o it_o be_v certain_a his_o body_n be_v of_o a_o most_o admirable_a and_o delicate_a temper_n as_o be_v organise_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n himself_o and_o hence_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o be_v thus_o form_v without_o any_o defect_n or_o error_n in_o nature_n there_o be_v no_o conflict_n between_o his_o flesh_n and_o his_o spirit_n wherefore_o his_o spirit_n by_o strong_a consequence_n must_v love_v his_o flesh_n better_a than_o any_o other_o spirit_n or_o soul_n can_v or_o aught_o to_o love_v its_o body_n 15._o and_o it_o be_v very_o worthy_a thy_o serious_a meditation_n that_o his_o anguish_n be_v increase_v in_o respect_n of_o the_o quality_n of_o those_o member_n in_o which_o he_o most_o suffer_v as_o his_o hand_n and_o foot_n which_o be_v nervous_a and_o most_o perceptive_a and_o most_o apprehensive_a of_o pain_n 16._o moreover_o consider_v o_o my_o soul_n that_o his_o passion_n be_v exacerbate_v in_o regard_n of_o the_o diuturnity_n or_o long_a continuance_n of_o it_o the_o holy_a martyr_n who_o have_v perish_v by_o fire_n water_n or_o the_o sword_n have_v quick_o finish_v their_o martyrdom_n which_o the_o same_o hour_n or_o the_o same_o sun_n have_v see_v begin_v and_o end_v but_o the_o passion_n of_o thy_o redeemer_n endure_v from_o the_o very_a instant_n as_o it_o be_v of_o his_o conception_n to_o the_o hour_n of_o his_o death_n for_o he_o certain_o foreknow_v what_o his_o humanity_n be_v to_o suffer_v the_o very_a imagination_n whereof_o make_v he_o sweatblood_n find_v if_o thou_o can_v what_o particle_n of_o his_o life_n be_v free_a from_o persecution_n but_o more_o eminent_o it_o endure_v from_o that_o dismal_a hour_n after_o supper_n to_o the_o nine_o hour_n of_o the_o six_o holy_a dayâ_n wonder_v not_o therefore_o that_o his_o soul_n be_v sad_a and_o heavy_a since_o he_o be_v most_o cruel_o torture_v in_o all_o his_o sense_n his_o eye_n on_o the_o other_o side_n see_v the_o grim_a and_o fierce_a look_n of_o his_o executioner_n on_o the_o other_o the_o amiable_a countenance_n of_o his_o mother_n and_o his_o other_o female_a votary_n together_o with_o his_o belove_a disciple_n all_o which_o as_o he_o be_v man_n he_o be_v loath_a to_o part_v with_o his_o ear_n hear_v nothing_o but_o insult_v and_o deride_v blasphemy_n his_o taste_n be_v distaste_v with_o â_o most_o bitter_a and_o loathsome_a potion_n be_v a_o compound_n of_o vinegar_n and_o gall._n the_o pain_n he_o endure_v in_o his_o feel_n be_v diffuse_v clean_o through_o his_o body_n his_o nostril_n draw_v in_o nothing_o but_o noisome_a stink_n and_o damp_n arise_v from_o putrify_a

our_o tongue_n the_o place_n of_o dead_a man_n scull_n and_o if_o we_o follow_v some_o of_o the_o hebrew_n interpreter_n this_o be_v the_o very_a place_n wherein_o adam_n longsince_o be_v bury_v for_o
