Of our Lords Buriall.

* 1.1COnsider 1. After our Lord was dead, his sacred body was taken down from the Cross with great devotion and teares, by Nicodemus and Joseph of Arimathia, who laid it in the

Mothers armes; whereby that of the Canticles was fullfilled.* 1.2 A Buadle of Myrrhe my beloved is to me, he shall abide between my brests. Think what expressions of griefe and sorrow, what sighs, and tears passed from her. Ponder what was said and done at that time by her, and her devout com∣panions. See that your beloved Lord be also to you a bundle of Myrrhe; and that by frequent contemplation of his Passion, you lodge him in your bosome and heart.

* 1.3Consider 2. Griefe and love having acted their parts, they embaulm the sacred Corps, and wrap it up in a clean winding sheet. Our Lord is delighted with cleanliness even in his grave; that you might learn diligently to cleanse your heart, as often as you receive him in the Holy Eucharist. Our Lord will have his Mystical mem∣bers embaulmed, especially with the Myrrhe of Mortification, that with the Apostle, Allways bearing about in our body the Mortification of Jesus, the life also of Jesus may be manifested in our bodys. Think how you may put this in practise.

Mother, and other devout persons were in, and how they gave themselves wholy to prayer, Ex∣pecting the blessed hope, and advent of the glory of the great God. The B. Virgin doubtless comforted herself with that of the Psalm. At evening shall weeping abide, and in the morning gladness.* 1.5 Doe you likewise in Desolation have recourse to prayer, and learn to put your trust in God.
