into_o our_o own_o inheritance_n second_o the_o judgement_n of_o christ_n be_v very_o strict_a but_o the_o merit_n of_o the_o passion_n of_o christ_n can_v well_o bear_v the_o severity_n thereof_o because_o the_o satisfaction_n be_v great_a than_o the_o debt_n and_o our_o sin_n be_v in_o number_n infinite_a his_o merit_n be_v in_o value_n infinite_a and_o to_o be_v brief_a he_o shall_v be_v

everlasting_a life_n therefore_o our_o hope_n will_v be_v much_o confirm_v if_o we_o consider_v that_o all_o the_o wealth_n of_o christ_n all_o his_o merit_n all_o his_o fasting_n labour_n pain_n and_o to_o be_v brief_a all_o that_o ever_o he_o do_v or_o suffer_v be_v we_o no_o less_o than_o the_o good_n of_o the_o husband_n belong_v unto_o the_o wife_n which_o she_o may_v use_v for_o the_o

condition_n of_o a_o lover_n which_o christ_n express_v in_o this_o his_o passion_n the_o first_o be_v that_o we_o always_o think_v of_o that_o which_o we_o love_v and_o this_o by_o the_o example_n of_o christ_n himself_o who_o because_o he_o will_v never_o forget_v we_o ingrave_v we_o in_o his_o own_o hand_n second_o that_o we_o speak_v often_o of_o it_o for_o out_o of_o the_o abundance_n of_o the_o heart_n the_o mouth_n speak_v 12._o mat._n 12._o and_o this_o also_o by_o the_o example_n of_o christ_n who_o on_o the_o very_a cross_n speak_v to_o his_o father_n of_o we_o and_o pray_v unto_o

to_o this_o end_n that_o he_o may_v induce_v we_o to_o love_v he_o four_o that_o we_o bestow_v all_o our_o labour_n and_o endeavour_n to_o help_v our_o friend_n for_o christ_n labour_v not_o for_o

us._n the_o seven_o and_o last_o manner_n of_o meditate_v upon_o the_o passion_n proceed_v from_o admiration_n admiration_n admiration_n this_o admiration_n be_v common_o provoke_v by_o some_o new_a strange_a and_o incredible_a accident_n now_o there_o be_v four_o thing_n which_o show_v the_o passion_n of_o our_o saviour_n christ_n to_o be_v exceed_o admirable_a first_o because_o he_o suffer_v who_o majesty_n can_v suffer_v who_o be_v the_o glory_n and_o joy_n of_o saint_n who_o dignity_n be_v infinite_a who_o life_n be_v eternal_a &_o who_o power_n be_v incomprehensible_a second_o because_o he_o suffer_v for_o they_o by_o who_o he_o be_v punish_v base_a man_n enemy_n and_o ungrateful_a person_n three_o because_o he_o suffer_v so_o many_o torment_n as_o never_o any_o mortal_a man_n endure_v aswell_o if_o you_o consider_v the_o torment_n themselves_o as_o also_o his_o ignominy_n his_o irrision_n his_o poverty_n and_o other_o misery_n of_o his_o life_n four_o because_o when_o he_o redeem_v mankind_n by_o his_o passion_n he_o use_v admirable_a mean_n for_o the_o fulfil_n thereof_o for_o first_o with_o the_o great_a weakness_n of_o his_o body_n he_o join_v great_a power_n wherewith_o he_o beat_v down_o and_o overthrewe_v the_o devil_n the_o prince_n of_o this_o world_n second_o he_o join_v perfect_a justice_n with_o perfect_a mercy_n for_o take_v compassion_n upon_o man_n he_o suffer_v the_o rigour_n of_o god_n justice_n upon_o himself_o three_o his_o excellent_a wisdom_n shine_v forth_o in_o that_o which_o to_o man_n seem_v exceed_v folly_n for_o the_o

punishment_n in_o which_o he_o may_v lay_v up_o for_o we_o a_o medicine_n for_o all_o disease_n and_o set_v before_o our_o eye_n a_o example_n of_o all_o virtue_n and_o kindle_v the_o flame_n of_o love_n in_o us._n for_o nothing_o do_v so_o much_o incite_v we_o either_o to_o the_o imitation_n of_o christ_n or_o to_o the_o love_n of_o god_n as_o this_o bitter_a passion_n of_o our_o lord_n and_o thus_o much_o shall_v suffice_v to_o have_v speak_v of_o affection_n now_o that_o we_o may_v use_v these_o meditation_n with_o fruit_n &_o profit_n for_o the_o salvation_n of_o our_o soul_n these_o few_o thing_n ought_v to_o be_v observe_v first_o that_o we_o come_v not_o unprepared_a to_o meditate_v but_o as_o the_o wise_a man_n advise_v we_o let_v we_o prepare_v our_o soul_n before_o prayer_n 18._o eccl._n 18._o which_o preparation_n consist_v in_o this_o that_o lay_v away_o all_o will_n to_o sin_n we_o commit_v ourselves_o whole_o into_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n and_o put_v out_o of_o our_o mind_n all_o external_a
comfort_n by_o his_o prayer_n though_o he_o pray_v with_o great_a affection_n nor_o yet_o can_v be_v refresh_v by_o the_o presence_n of_o his_o disciple_n even_o as_o sick_a folk_n be_v wont_a to_o turn_v this_o way_n and_o that_o way_n to_o ease_v their_o weariness_n consider_v second_o that_o christ_n be_v never_o so_o trouble_v with_o any_o occasion_n no_o not_o now_o when_o he_o be_v ready_a to_o suffer_v but_o that_o he_o always_o think_v upon_o thy_o salvation_n yea_o &_o even_o now_o when_o he_o be_v in_o heaven_n he_o have_v his_o eye_n always_o bend_v favourable_o towards_o thou_o
