II. POINT.

CONSIDER, (as the third fruite of this ioyfull and glorious day) our Blessed Sauiours triumph and raigne ouer all the world, happily beginning at Hieru∣salem, and extending it selfe to the vtter∣most confines of the same, thereby ma∣king his words, (I haue ouercome the world) appeare in effect. For if the world had ma∣lice enough to haue razed his name out of the hartes of men, by his death vpon an infamous Crosse; he contrarily, had good∣nes and power enough, by the same death, to imprint his memorie much deeper in their mindes, to abolish Idolatrie, the worshipp of false Gods; and true Diuells, and in their places, to establish the wor∣shippe of one true God ouer all the face of the earth: all which, at this day, with much ioy to true Christian hartes, we see effected.

[Affection.] Reioyce my soule, to see that Gods goodnes hath turned the mali∣ce of men to the aduantage of his owne glorie, and their Saluation. What excesse of ioy ought it not afforde to a true Chri∣stian hart, to see the faith of a God-man infamously dyeing vpon a Crosse, willin∣gly imbraced all the world ouer. To see that Crosse erected in triumph in euerie place. To see regall and imperiall Crow∣nes fall at the feete of it. To see Idolles fall, and Diuells flye at the verie signe of it. Finally to see Iesus of Nazareth cru∣cified, acknowledged, imbraced, magni∣fied, adored in euerie corner of the earth.
