A heavenly conference between Christ and Mary after His resurrection. Wherein the intimate familiarity,…

Go to my Brethren. When doth he bid her go? now after his Resurrection, ¹when he was to ascend to Heaven. The first degree of his glory was his Resurrection, after his lowest abasement in the grave. You see that honour doth not change Christs disposition; as it doth amongst men, when they be advanced to great places, they will not look on their old friends and acquaintance; but Christ had no such disposition, he owneth his poor Disciples in their greatest abasements. Go tell my Brethren. Now, when he was in state of glory, ready to go to Heaven, and he giveth them a more comfortable title now, then ever before. In the Gospel he called them Servants and friends and Apostles and Disciples; but now Brethren, a word ⟨p. 68⟩of all sweetness, and nothing but sweetness. Go tell my brethren presently, Christ would have no delay; for he saw they had present need. Christs ²love is a quickening love, and the fruits of it are very speedy. There is more then angelical swiftness in Christ, when there is need of him. God helpeth at need, in the most seasonable time, and he knoweth the time best of all. He did but rise in the morning, and the very same day, Go tell my Brethren: ye have Cant. 2. that Christ cometh leaping upon the Mountains, when he was to help his Church, he leaped over the Mountains, as in the eight verse. The voice of my Beloved, behold he cometh leaping upon the Mountains, skipping upon the Hills. He cometh from Heaven to Earth, from the Earth to the Grave, and now he is risen, he is all in hast, he maketh no stay, because his manner of dispatch, is, to help and comfort by the Ministry of others. God quickly, do not stand embracing of me, but go and tell my Brethren.
