to_o heaven_n than_o the_o deep_a valley_n not_o that_o god_n hear_v a_o suppliant_a soon_o from_o a_o place_n of_o eminence_n but_o because_o there_o he_o be_v most_o sequester_v from_o the_o world_n free_a from_o noise_n and_o disturbance_n and_o in_o the_o fit_a place_n to_o converse_v with_o god_n from_o a_o mountain_n he_o preach_v not_o that_o he_o covet_v the_o high_a seat_n in_o that_o spacious_a synagogue_n but_o that_o he_o may_v be_v the_o more_o easy_o hear_v by_o his_o auditory_a and_o that_o the_o new_a law_n may_v be_v preach_v from_o as_o eminent_a a_o pulpit_n as_o the_o old_a and_o to_o the_o mountain_n he_o retire_v to_o manifest_v his_o glory_n not_o so_o much_o to_o tell_v his_o disciple_n that_o he_o who_o will_v be_v make_v partaker_n of_o celestial_a honour_n must_v leave_v this_o low_a world_n as_o to_o conceal_v the_o miracle_n to_o avoid_v the_o imputation_n of_o vain_a glory_n and_o the_o desire_n of_o secular_a applause_n on_o mount_n calvary_n be_v jesus_n crucify_a in_o the_o view_n of_o all_o the_o world_n but_o he_o be_v transfigure_v on_o mount_n tabor_n in_o the_o view_n of_o only_o three_o of_o his_o disciple_n thus_o every_o action_n of_o our_o master_n be_v beautiful_a in_o its_o season_n he_o have_v just_a before_o sad_a his_o disciple_n with_o a_o account_n of_o his_o own_o suffering_n and_o the_o necessity_n that_o they_o also_o must_v drink_v of_o the_o same_o bitter_a potion_n and_o that_o he_o who_o do_v not_o take_v up_o his_o cross_n and_o follow_v his_o saviour_n be_v not_o worthy_a to_o enter_v into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n but_o lest_o this_o discourse_n may_v dishearten_v they_o a_o few_o day_n after_o he_o carry_v the_o most_o eminent_a of_o his_o domestic_n with_o he_o to_o the_o holy_a mountain_n there_o to_o confirm_v their_o faith_n and_o strengthen_v their_o resolution_n by_o assure_v they_o that_o he_o who_o have_v once_o have_v a_o view_n of_o the_o recompense_n of_o reward_n can_v never_o be_v affright_v at_o the_o sight_n of_o the_o cross_n to_o see_v his_o afflict_a condition_n and_o to_o hear_v from_o his_o own_o mouth_n who_o every_o word_n be_v oracle_n that_o his_o state_n for_o the_o future_a shall_v be_v more_o uneasy_a and_o deplorable_a be_v a_o sad_a suggeston_n for_o how_o can_v this_o be_v that_o he_o shall_v save_v other_o who_o can_v not_o save_v himself_o that_o he_o shall_v protect_v his_o follower_n who_o can_v not_o rescue_v himself_o from_o the_o shame_n and_o the_o torture_n of_o his_o scourge_v and_o his_o crucifixion_n but_o to_o see_v his_o face_n shine_v like_o the_o sun_n in_o its_o glory_n and_o his_o garment_n make_v white_a than_o alabaster_n and_o more_o glitter_a than_o gold_n this_o be_v a_o irresistible_a conviction_n that_o the_o light_a affliction_n that_o be_v but_o for_o a_o moment_n be_v not_o worthy_a to_o be_v compare_v with_o the_o glory_n that_o shall_v be_v reveal_v in_o we_o it_o be_v fit_a that_o this_o extraordinary_a appearance_n shall_v be_v keep_v secret_a for_o a_o while_n and_o therefore_o a_o place_n of_o retirement_n be_v the_o most_o proper_a scene_n for_o this_o act_n but_o it_o be_v requisite_a that_o some_o person_n shall_v be_v present_a to_o attest_v the_o miracle_n and_o those_o no_o less_o than_o three_o that_o according_a to_o the_o law_n in_o the_o mouth_n of_o two_o or_o three_o witness_n the_o truth_n may_v be_v establish_v when_o in_o due_a time_n the_o world_n shall_v be_v acquaint_v with_o it_o as_o therefore_o moses_n leave_v the_o elder_n and_o the_o people_n at_o the_o bottom_n of_o sinai_n and_o take_v aaron_n nadab_n and_o abihu_n with_o he_o when_o he_o go_v up_o to_o speak_v with_o god_n so_o do_v christ_n leave_v the_o multitude_n and_o the_o nine_o behind_o he_o and_o take_v peter_n james_n and_o john_n with_o he_o to_o see_v and_o hear_v the_o wonder_n of_o his_o transfiguration_n and_o why_o if_o i_o may_v presume_v to_o ask_v my_o unerring_a redeemer_n why_o these_o three_o before_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o apostle_n be_v not_o andrew_n the_o first_o convert_n and_o the_o elder_a brother_n to_o simon_n and_o be_v not_o james_n the_o son_n of_o alphaeus_n as_o much_o a_o apostle_n as_o james_n the_o son_n of_o zebedee_n and_o be_v not_o simon_n the_o zealot_n as_o earnest_a a_o asserter_n of_o his_o master_n honour_n as_o the_o belove_a disciple_n i_o must_v confess_v it_o do_v not_o become_v humane_a ignorance_n to_o pretend_v to_o dive_v into_o the_o secret_n of_o the_o divine_a wisdom_n and_o yet_o perhaps_o we_o be_v allow_v to_o conjecture_v where_o we_o can_v be_v certain_a these_o three_o disciple_n be_v our_o saviour_n darling_n and_o his_o companion_n in_o all_o extraordinary_a occurrence_n when_o jairus_n daughter_n be_v raise_v from_o the_o dead_a they_o only_o be_v admit_v as_o spectator_n and_o when_o jesus_n undergo_v his_o bitter_a agony_n in_o the_o garden_n they_o attend_v he_o to_o the_o theatre_n of_o sorrow_n and_o suffering_n and_o to_o they_o he_o give_v peculiar_a additional_a name_n which_o honour_n he_o do_v not_o vouchsafe_v to_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o twelve_o simon_n he_o surname_v peter_n and_o the_o two_o son_n of_o zebedee_n he_o call_v boanerges_n i._n e._n son_n of_o thunder_n it_o be_v fit_a to_o be_v reveal_v to_o peter_n who_o be_v choose_v to_o a_o primacy_n of_o order_n in_o the_o college_n of_o the_o apostle_n to_o james_n because_o he_o be_v the_o first_o of_o all_o that_o immediate_a family_n of_o our_o lord_n who_o be_v to_o be_v crown_v with_o martyrdom_n and_o to_o john_n not_o only_o because_o he_o be_v the_o belove_a disciple_n and_o die_v a_o virgin_n but_o also_o because_o he_o be_v design_v to_o live_v long_a of_o all_o the_o twelve_o that_o he_o may_v own_v and_o attest_v the_o miracle_n after_o the_o other_o apostle_n be_v lay_v in_o their_o grave_n when_o the_o early_a heretic_n shall_v deny_v the_o divinity_n of_o our_o lord_n in_o the_o view_n of_o these_o person_n be_v jesus_n transfigure_v not_o that_o the_o nature_n and_o substance_n of_o his_o body_n be_v change_v but_o his_o appearance_n his_o head_n be_v surround_v with_o ray_n and_o his_o whole_a body_n enlighten_v with_o the_o beam_n of_o his_o divinity_n for_o doubtless_o his_o glory_n be_v great_a and_o more_o conspicuous_a than_o that_o either_o of_o moses_n or_o elias_n but_o it_o be_v to_o be_v remember_v that_o these_o bright_a token_n do_v not_o signalise_v he_o as_o soon_o as_o he_o ascend_v the_o hill_n but_o after_o he_o have_v retire_v himself_o and_o pray_v for_o every_o

unto_o prayer_n that_o they_o shall_v fall_v asleep_a while_o they_o be_v about_o to_o enjoy_v that_o sight_n that_o only_o be_v worth_a see_v on_o this_o side_n heaven_n but_o so_o easy_o be_v we_o incline_v to_o grow_v lazy_a and_o idle_a to_o indulge_v to_o sloth_n and_o sensuality_n when_o the_o best_a example_n and_o the_o best_a encouragement_n incite_v we_o to_o devotion_n for_o thus_o the_o same_o man_n do_v when_o their_o master_n be_v in_o his_o agony_n though_o they_o have_v just_a before_o receive_v the_o venerable_a sacrament_n and_o know_v their_o master_n be_v that_o night_n to_o be_v betray_v such_o be_v our_o humane_a frailty_n and_o so_o violent_a be_v our_o inclination_n to_o forget_v our_o duty_n though_o perhaps_o this_o sleep_n be_v rather_o a_o ecstasy_n the_o brightness_n of_o the_o apparition_n dazzle_v the_o sense_n and_o surprise_v the_o soul_n which_o in_o all_o prophetic_a vision_n be_v unable_a to_o sustain_v the_o revelation_n be_v astonish_v at_o the_o fight_n and_o sink_v under_o the_o weight_n of_o it_o as_o the_o eye_n be_v too_o weak_a to_o gaze_v on_o the_o sun_n and_o this_o my_o charity_n for_o those_o reverend_a man_n will_v incline_v i_o to_o believe_v but_o whatever_o the_o sleep_n be_v as_o soon_o as_o ever_o the_o apostle_n do_v awake_a as_o if_o it_o have_v be_v a_o just_a punishment_n for_o their_o sloth_n and_o negligence_n the_o bless_a society_n break_v up_o and_o the_o holy_a man_n retire_v who_o the_o apostle_n know_v to_o be_v what_o they_o be_v not_o so_o much_o by_o their_o discourse_n for_o during_o that_o
