There be many other observations out of the words. Will you have the first words in estate of glory, his first words after death? go and tell my brethren. Think in a desperate extremity, ⟨p. 53⟩think of the sweet message he sent by Mary Magdalen to his unworthy 1brethren, that he had died for, and given his blood to make them his brethren. Think of his free love to you, it is not for your worthiness or unworthiness, but of his own free love that he came from Heaven to take your nature, it is his own free love that he came to die; and therefore conceive not of worthiness, nor unworthiness; but consider the command of God to believe, and if we perish, perish there. Cast our selves on our brother, that will own us in our worst condition, that is the grand use.
