Go to my brethren; now I come to the Commission, or Charge given to her▪ Go to my brethren; who is the party charged? Mary: And what is her charge? to go to the Apostles under the sweet term of brethren; When doth he call them so? after his Resurrection, when he was in the state of glory: what is the Message? it is very sweet. Go, say to them, I ascend to my Father, and your Father, to my God, and your God. I ascend, that is, I presently am to ascend, in a very short time I shall ascend. It was but forty days between Easter and the Ascension; 1and all that time Christ appeared now and then. It is the nature of faith, where it is glorious, for to present future things, as if present; especially when they be near. I ascend, that is, I shall very shortly ascend, and it is all one, as if I ascend presently. To whom do I ascend? I ascend to my Father. To my Father, that is not ⟨p. 59⟩comfort enough, therefore to your Father too; I ascend to God, that is not comfort enough: therefore to my God and your God. We shall unfold the words as we come at them.
