Now if there be any so hard and insense• •e that they can neither tremble neither yet begin to know them selves in the remembrance of this bitter passion they stand surely in shrewd case. For it is necessary that we be made conformable unto the son of god / that is to say / that we feel the depth and burden of sin other in this world or in time to come / ye and that we quake / tremble and taste of the deadly pangs which Christ suffered on the cross. But surely it is a miserable and piteous thing to begin then to feel them / when we are in the extremity and points of death. Therefore let every man ⟨image 96⟩pray unto God that he would vouchsafe to give us his spirit & grace / which may mollify our indurate hearts that we may with some fruit call unto remembrance the passion of Christ / for I think no man is so mad to suppose that we of our own power with out the spirit of God can do other this or any other thing acceptable to God / for all goodness is of god and not of us.
