the_o history_n be_v very_o plain_a and_o there_o can_v be_v no_o other_o thing_n almost_o mark_v than_o that_o which_o be_v already_o touch_v and_o therefore_o i_o shall_v go_v through_o it_o short_o

and_o he_o bind_v up_o their_o eye_n so_o that_o they_o can_v not_o know_v nor_o discern_v he_o suppose_v they_o have_v follow_v he_o and_o have_v be_v with_o he_o long_a time_n before_o thus_o far_o we_o hear_v the_o last_o day_n now_o we_o follow_v out_o the_o rest_n of_o this_o history_n and_o in_o this_o text_n which_o present_o we_o have_v read_v we_o have_v the_o communication_n which_o be_v

something_o of_o they_o as_o they_o walk_v out_o the_o way_n you_o see_v they_o have_v be_v sad_a and_o their_o speech_n and_o communication_n by_o appearance_n have_v be_v a_o moanful_a complaint_n which_o they_o make_v concern_v christ_n not_o vain_a and_o idle_a talk_n nor_o rejoice_v in_o the_o tiding_n but_o all_o their_o talk_n and_o speech_n come_v from_o sad_a and_o heavy_a heart_n but_o while_o they_o be_v sad_a the_o lord_n come_v to_o they_o and_o he_o come_v to_o comfort_v they_o well_o be_v that_o soul_n that_o be_v sad_a and_o mourn_v for_o christ_n and_o his_o church_fw-mi for_o that_o soul_n shall_v get_v consolation_n out_o of_o christ_n mouth_n but_o if_o where_o there_o be_v matter_n of_o mourning_n thou_o be_v merry_a than_o the_o lord_n will_v not_o come_v to_o

especial_o have_v be_v joyefull_a that_o day_n yet_o suppose_v they_o be_v sad_a without_o a_o cause_n the_o lord_n come_v &_o comfort_v they_o no_o it_o be_v better_a thou_o be_v sad_a for_o christ_n for_o a_o matter_n that_o be_v joyful_a than_o to_o be_v glad_a in_o a_o sad_a matter_n choose_v rather_o to_o be_v sad_a for_o christ_n than_o to_o be_v merry_a or_o over_o wanton_a and_o if_o thou_o be_v sad_a albeit_o there_o be_v no_o matter_n the_o lord_n will_v pity_v thou_o but_o if_o thou_o laugh_v rejoice_v and_o take_v thy_o pastime_n the_o lord_n will_v let_v thou_o laugh_v on_o for_o a_o time_n but_o he_o will_v leave_v thou_o destitute_a of_o all_o consolation_n when_o thou_o have_v need_n of_o it_o i_o tell_v you_o this_o aye_fw-mi there_o be_v no_o matter_n of_o laugh_v in_o this_o miserable_a land_n it_o be_v better_o for_o we_o to_o mourn_v and_o to_o be_v sad_a for_o sin_n that_o we_o may_v get_v comfort_n from_o god._n now_o to_o come_v forward_o christ_n perceive_v

be_v on_o we_o and_o on_o our_o child_n the_o second_o thing_n that_o matthew_n rehearse_n be_v after_o that_o he_o have_v exoner_v himself_o as_o he_o think_v a_o vain_a thought_n he_o be_v never_o

the_o jew_n he_o let_v loose_a barrabas_n a_o foul_a murderer_n then_o as_o luke_n mark_n he_o give_v out_o the_o sentence_n of_o condemnation_n against_o the_o innocent_a than_o he_o take_v he_o and_o scourge_v he_o the_o second_o time_n and_o last_o he_o put_v he_o in_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o burrio_fw-la this_o be_v the_o second_o thing_n yet_o there_o be_v one_o three_o thing_n when_o they_o get_v he_o they_o lead_v he_o not_o incontinent_a out_o of_o the_o port_n to_o that_o filthy_a place_n of_o execution_n but_o to_o satisfy_v the_o maliciousness_n of_o their_o heart_n they_o

speak_v of_o these_o thing_n according_a to_o the_o rehearsal_n of_o matthew_n as_o for_o the_o first_o matthew_z say_z that_o when_o pilate_n see_v that_o he_o can_v prevail_v nothing_o at_o their_o

as_o he_o protest_v that_o he_o be_v clean_o he_o turn_v it_o over_o upon_o the_o jew_n say_v see_v you_o to_o it_o you_o shall_v give_v a_o account_n for_o this_o day_n work_n it_o shall_v be_v the_o

on_o the_o part_n of_o the_o high_a priest_n and_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o jew_n the_o history_n be_v very_o plain_a this_o miserable_a man_n pilate_n have_v fight_v on_o a_o reasonable_a space_n yea_o a_o long_a time_n for_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n against_o the_o obstinacy_n of_o the_o jew_n at_o the_o last_o when_o he_o be_v charge_v as_o guilty_a of_o treason_n when_o he_o see_v he_o
