And thus you see the sweet intercourse upon the apparition, and first discovery of Christ to Mary. He spake to her, and she answered him again with the same affection. And it is a word of dependence, as it is fit, Rabboni my Master, it is not only a word of honour, not any superior, but a superior in way of teaching, there was submission of conscience to the Rabboni; as the Rabboni labouring to sit in the consciences of people. It is a Syriac word which signifieth in the original, ⟨p. 15⟩Multiplication of knowledge in him that speaketh, & that laboureth to breed much knowledge in him that is spoken to; and therefore it is a word of great respect and dependence.

So ye see what sense and affections are in these little words. The fullness of heart that was in this Couple cannot be expressed, were it possible to say all that could be said. And therefore we leave the Hypothesis, and come to make application of it to our selves.1
