But thou after thy resurrection appearedst unto him and comfortedst him / & yet kid he him self for fear of the Ives? he saw the so gloriously ascending unto heaven & was strengthened by the sight and comfort of Angels / & yet durst he not go abroad / for he had learned by experience to know his own fragility / and had proved his weakness.
