The 4. Ioy. II. POINT.

[CONSIDERATION.] Yes my soule; the newes is most certaine. He's re∣turned back with the woundes he receiued he carries the markes about with him; cer∣taine witnesses, as well of his painefull death as his excessiue loue, his glorious resurrection. The incredulous Thomas hath seene him, had his fingers in ho∣les of his hands, his in the hole of his side, through his wounds he hath felt his bowells.

[Affection.] O singularly good newes, my soule! ô admirable graciousnesse! ô what ioy! what ioy! It was not iudged enough to that maker, and louer, and Sauiour of

mankind, to haue spent 33. yeares in a fa∣miliar and common manner amongst men: nay to haue spent the laste droppe of his most pretious blood in the view of all the world, vnlesse he returned to them againe in his glorified bodie, to make good in effect, that he left them not orphants, but made the wounds, which he had suffered for them, the louing and palpable argu∣ments of his Resurrection and presence.
