TO consider the infinite charity of thy Redeemer in honouring sin∣••ers truly penitent, sith that he chose ••ran eye witnes of his Resurrection woman, a notorious sinner, & that he should deserue this ••sapn•• the Apostles, yea b••••fore the 〈◊〉〈◊〉 of the Apostles, & before the ••sciple singularly belou••d thoue the
rest of the Apostles, because with so many teares & such perseuerance sh•• had sought the Blessed body of her Lord.
Ponder how that the multitud•• of sinnes past, do not preiudice, whe•• they are recompenced with greate•• seruour present. Wherefore in regard that Magdalen was eminēt in perfor••ming many thinges that others di•• not for the loue of Christ (as we ha•••• said in her 25. Meditatiō of the secon•• booke) & was present, & accompa•• nied him at mount Caluaty, & ass•• sted at his buriall: euen so she 〈◊〉〈◊〉 most fauoured & cherished of all.
Gather hence, courage & con•• dence that thou be not dismaid at th•• multitude of thy sinnes: for if tho•• some in time, & art diligent in the se•• nice of God, excelling therein throug•• particuler seruices, he will bestow 〈◊〉〈◊〉 thee speciall graces & fauours, th•• thou mayst deserue to see and e•••• him for euer in his glory.
