By

of
Preface
.
THE
Commemoration
of
the
Humiliation
,
Sufferings
and
Death
of
Jesus
Christ
,
is
a
principal
part
of
the
Food
of
Faith
,
whereby
we
live
in
Christ
,
walk
with
him
,
and
worship
him
:
And
to
the
end
that
we
might
so
live
,
walk
and
worship
,
he
hath
instituted
the
Sacrament
of
the
Lord's
Supper
in
his
Church
,
to
be
an
eminent
part
of
his
worship
,
and
hath
said
,
1.
Cor.
11.24
,
25
,
26.
Take
,
eat
,
this
doe
in
remembrance
of
me
;
take
,
drink
,
this
doe
in
remembrance
of
me
;
for
so
oft
as
ye
eat
this
bread
,
and
drink
this
cup
,
ye
doe
shew
the
Lords
death
till
he
come
.
And
his
death
is
inclusive
of
all
his
Su●ferings
.
This
part
of
instituted
worship
is
of
great
account
in
the
eye
of
Christ
;
for
which
cause
he
was
pleased
to
institute
it
himself
,
and
hath
ordered
it
to
be
often
celebrated
:
and
it
is
the
mo●t
peculiar
worship
in
the
Church
,
in
the
holy
communion
of
Saints
on
earth
,
next
beneath
our
communion
in
heaven
.
So
heavenly
a
work
it
is
to
commemorate
the
Su●ferings
of
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ
.
Yet
have
I
observed
,
both
by
mine
own
heart
and
others
,
that
we
are
very
incident
to
be
narrow
hearted
,
slite
and
formal
in
this
service
.
Faith
feeds
but
little
for
want
of
an
inlarged
commemoration
of
the
history
of
the
Humiliation
and
Sufferings
of
Jesus
Christ
,
the
commemoration
whereof
,
is
the
proper
,
peculiar
,
and
great
service
that
we
are
commanded
to
attend
in
that
Ordinance
:
for
Christ
saith
,
do
it
in
remembrance
of
me
,
and
of
my
sufferings
.
And
though
the
breaking
of
the
bread
and
pouring
out
of
the
wine
,
do
chiefly
signifie
and
represent
the
death
of
Jesus
Christ
,
as
being
th●
consummation
of
all
his
sufferings
;
yet
they
do
also
comprehend
and
signify
all
his
sufferings
from
his
Incarnation
to
the
grave
,
the
History
whereof
is
dispersed
in
the
Scriptures
,
and
for
the
help
of
my
faith
and
the
faith
of
the
Church
whom
the
Lord
hath
committed
to
my
charge
,
I
have
(
according
to
my
poor
measure
)
endeavoured
to
gather
the
parts
of
the
History
thereof
,
and
lay
them
together
;
and
may
my
poor
labour
herein
be
of
any
service
and
help
to
the
faith
of
the
Saints
,
I
shall
rejoyce
in
such
a
blessed
fruit
.
I
know
that
it
is
a
very
useful
point
the
Lord
make
it
fruitful
.
In
this
work
some
considerations
are
necessary
to
be
premised
.
The
sufferings
of
Jesus
Christ
are
a
wonderful
part
of
the
deep
counsels
of
God
,
touching
man
.
Gods
great
design
is
to
glorifie
himself
,
chiefly
in
those
great
Attributes
of
his
ustice
and
mercy
,
and
to
glorify
Jesus
Christ
to
be
the
great
Agent
,
to
bring
all
the
glory
thereof
unto
God
,
according
to
the
holy
Covenant
and
agreement
betwixt
the
Father
and
the
Son
,
Joh.
17.6
,
&
c
-
To
that
end
he
purposed
to
make
the
whole
mass
of
mankind
to
glorifie
his
justice
,
an
high
and
honourable
service
for
a
creature
to
perform
.
And
he
purposed
and
chose
out
a
certain
number
,
a
scattering
out
of
mankind
in
all
Ages
to
be
vessels
of
merc●
,
in
whom
he
would
glorifie
his
free
grace
and
mercy
,
and
all
this
,
by
and
through
Jesus
Christ
,
Eph.
1.4
,
5
,
6.
according
as
he
hath
chosen
us
in
him
before
the
Foundation
of
the
world
,
that
we
should
be
holy
and
without
blame
before
him
in
love
,
having
predestinated
us
unto
the
Adoption
of
children
by
Jesus
Christ
unto
himself
,
according
to
the
good
pleasure
of
his
wil
to
the
praise
of
the
glory
of
his
grace
,
wherein
he
hath
made
us
accepted
in
the
beloved
.
Hence
Gods
Elect
were
in
Christ
before
they
were
in
Adam
.
When
God
executed
his
decrees
,
he
made
man
in
his
own
image
and
likeness
[
a
blessed
estate
]
gave
him
an
holy
just
and
good
law
,
and
power
to
perform
it
,
brought
him
under
an
holy
and
just
covenant
,
with
incouragement
and
promise
of
immutable
and
eternal
glory
upon
his
keeping
of
it
,
Gal.
3.12
.
Doe
and
live
,
set
him
in
the
highest
dignity
of
his
creatures
,
to
be
Lord
over
the
works
of
Gods
own
hands
in
this
low
world
,
gave
him
power
to
act
by
free
choyce
of
his
will
,
and
thereby
to
act
meritoriously
[
●n
high
dignity
]
fenced
him
from
offending
and
miscariage
by
a
just
and
severe
threatning
,
G●n.
2.17
.
in
the
day
thou
eatest
thereof
thou
shalt
surely
dy
:
&
thus
was
mankind
,
made
to
glorifie
justice
,
and
be
eternally
happy
in
so
doing
;
in
this
state
,
man
had
but
one
thing
to
doe
to
obtain
happiness
,
viz.
to
keep
Gods
law
and
covenant
,
to
which
he
was
fully
accomplished
with
sufficient
ability
,
assistance
and
incouragement
,
but
he
fell
short
of
the
glory
of
God
,
Rom.
3
,
23.
and
by
the
Devils
temptation
,
sought
out
many
inventions
,
Eccles.
7.29
.
and
fell
into
his
great
apostacy
:
he
overthrew
Gods
great
design
of
glorif●ing
Gods
rewarding
justice
,
and
fell
under
the
condemnation
of
the
law
,
and
fell
into
the
hands
of
Gods
vindictive
ju●tice
:
and
all
this
he
did
before
he
had
performed
Gods
Law
,
covenant
and
command
.
He
deserved
to
die
,
before
he
had
deserved
to
live
;
so
that
now
man
hath
two
great
works
to
doe
before
he
can
attain
to
happiness
,
viz.
1.
It
is
still
incumbent
on
man
to
keep
the
holy
Law
and
covenant
of
God
:
and
2dly
.
Now
it
is
incumbent
on
man
to
satisfie
Gods
vindictive
justice
by
suffering
the
penalty
of
the
Law
,
neither
of
which
is
man
able
to
perform
,
nor
any
creature
for
him
,
so
that
his
Redemption
ceaseth
for
ever
,
Psal.
49.8
.
he
is
eternally
condemned
under
the
just
sentence
of
the
Law
,
and
vindictive
justice
of
God
,
(
a
dreadfull
Catastro●he
and
overthrow
.
Now
Jesus
Christ
steppeth
in
according
to
the
holy
cove●ant
and
agreement
betwixt
the
Father
and
th●
Son
.
Jesus
Christ
undertaketh
for
Gods
Elect
,
whom
the
Father
hath
chosen
to
b●
vessels
of
M●rc●
,
and
given
unto
J●sus
Christ
for
that
end
.
Joh.
17.6
.
Thine
they
were
,
thou
gav●st
them
to
me
.
Jesus
C●ri●t
undertakes
to
glorifie
justice
for
them
,
and
also
to
shew
mercy
and
free
grace
in
their
recovery
.
Jesus
Christ
undertakes
to
perform
for
them
and
in
their
stead
those
two
great
works
which
they
are
never
able
to
p●rform
for
themselves
.
Jesus
Christ
undertakes
as
their
surety
to
keep
and
fulfill
the
holy
Law
and
covenant
of
works
,
to
obtain
for
them
the
reward
of
justice
,
and
also
to
su●fer
for
them
,
and
in
their
stead
the
penalty
of
the
Law
,
which
is
,
to
d●e
,
and
thereb●
to
satisfie
the
vindictive
justice
of
God
.
And
here
is
the
ground
of
the
nece●sit●
of
Jesus
Christ
his
active
and
passive
obedience
,
in
the
sal●ation
of
Gods
Elect
,
b●
making
them
vessels
of
mercy
.
Jesus
Chri●t
his
p●re
,
perfect
and
meritorious
Ob●dience
to
the
Law
for
us
,
is
not
enough
to
bring
us
to
sal●ation
,
Heb.
2.10
.
It
b●cometh
him
in
bringing
many
sons
to
glo●y
,
to
ma●●
the
Captain
of
our
Salvation
perfe●t
through
suffering
,
thereby
to
satis
ie
the
vindictive
ju●tic●
of
God
,
which
is
incumbent
on
us
to
doe
;
and
because
we
are
not
able
to
doe
it
our selves
,
it
is
necessary
that
our
Surety
should
doe
it
for
us
.
If
Jesus
Christ
had
only
k●pt
th●
Law
perfectly
for
us
,
and
thereby
had
been
the
perfecting
end
of
th●
Law
for
righteousn●ss
,
Rom.
10.4
.
he
had
not
been
a
competent
surety
for
us
,
because
we
are
also
l●able
to
the
revenging
punishing
Sentence
of
the
Law
,
for
our
violation
thereof
,
&
therefore
the
Captain
of
our
Salvation
must
be
perfected
by
su
ferings
.
And
if
Jesus
Christ
had
onl●
suffered
the
penalty
of
the
Law
,
by
dying
for
us
,
h●
had
not
perfected
the
Office
of
a
Mediator
,
because
the
Law
was
not
yet
f●l●illed
,
and
th●
perfecting
en●
thereof
attained
.
Therefore
it
is
necessary
that
our
Medi●tor
should
be
perfected
in
the
accomplishment
of
both
these
parts
of
our
Redemption
.
A●d
h●n●e
,
when
in
the
Sacrament
of
the
Supper
,
we
commemorate
and
celebrate
the
sufferings
and
pa●sive
obedience
of
Jesus
Christ
,
it
comprehends
also
the
celebration
of
the
active
obedience
of
Jesus
Chri
t
,
even
all
that
the
Captain
of
our
Sal●ation
hath
done
for
us
,
for
they
are
inseparable
,
nor
could
Jes●s
Chri●t
ha●e
been
a
competent
satisfactory
Sacrifice
,
if
he
h●d
not
been
a
Lamb
without
spot
,
Mat.
3.15
.
it
becometh
us
to
ful
il
all
righteousness
.
Jesus
Christ
is
the
second
Adam
,
1
Cor.
15.45
.
and
he
came
to
redeem
the
first
Adam
,
who
is
an
elect
Vessel
,
and
saved
b●
Jesus
C●rist
,
and
being
his
Surety
,
he
is
bound
to
perform
for
him
all
that
he
was
bound
unto
.
Now
Adam
was
bound
unto
all
active
obedience
to
the
Law
,
which
he
never
performed
,
he
was
also
bound
to
suffer
the
penalty
of
the
Law
which
he
brake
,
therefore
Jesus
Christ
undertaking
to
bring
Adam
to
Salvation
,
he
must
perform
for
him
,
both
active
a●d
passive
obedience
.
The
active
and
passive
obedience
of
Jesus
Christ
are
so
complicated
together
,
that
they
are
inseparable
,
every
act
of
Jesus
Christ
his
su
fering
,
hath
active
obedience
in
it
,
he
laid
down
his
life
when
he
was
obedient
to
the
death
,
Joh.
10.18
.
Phil.
2.8
.
And
every
act
of
Jesus
Christ
his
activ●
ob●dience
had
suffering
in
it
,
being
darkened
by
his
Humiliation
under
a
po●r
low
afflicted
estate
in
this
world
,
Phil.

,

in
the
form
of
a
Servant
,
and
in
ma●y
other
respects
,
as
will
appear
h●reafter
in
the
History
of
his
life
.
The
sufferings
of
Jesus
Christ
fully
satisfied
vindi●tive
justice
,
and
the
active
obedience
of
Jesus
Chri●t
did
fully
satisfie
rewarding
j●stice
,
every
act
of
Jesu●
Chri●t
was
pure
,
perfect
and
meritorious
,
G●d
saith
,
in
him
I
am
well
pleased
Mat.
3.17
.
Every
act
of
Jesus
Christ
his
obedience
either
active
or
passive
,
was
pure
and
without

being

became
Author
of

to
all
that

Every
act
of
Jesus

his
obedience
either
active
or
passive
was
meritorious
,

as
by
the
offence
of
one
,
Judgement
came
upon
all
men
to
condemnation
,
even
so
by
the
righteousness
of
one
,
the
free
gift
came
upon
all
men
to
justification
of
life
,
for
as
by
one
mans
disobedience
,
many
were
made
sinners
,
so
by
the
obedience
of
one
,
shall
many
be
made
righteous

Eph.

In
whom
also
we
have
obtained
an
Inheritance
,
being
predestinated
according
to
the
purpose
of
him
,
who
worketh
all
things
according
to
the
counsel
of
his
own
will
,
ver.
14.
which
is
the
earnest
of
our
Inheritance
,
until
the
Redemption
of
the
purchased
possession
unto
the
praise
of
his
glory
.
This
meritorious
eminency
of
the
obedience
of
Jesus
Christ
springeth
from
the
eminency
of
his
person
,
being
God-man
.
The
Law
never
had
such
a
person
subject
unto
it
,
never
did
,
nor
could
any
other
perform
such
obedience
as
this
glorious
person
performed
,
never
were
,
or
could
be
such
acts
of
obedience
both
active
and
passive
performed
,
as
were
performed
by
Jesus
Christ
,
because
he
is
a
publick
person
,
by
Office
he
is
our
Mediator
and
Surety
:
every
act
that
he
did
was
acted
by
virtue
of
his
Office
,
in
which
Office
he
was
from
his
first
Incarnation
,
as
it
is
testified
by
the
Angel
,
Math.
1.21
.
Thou
shalt
call
his
Name
Jesus
,
for
he
shall
save
his
people
from
their
sin
,
Luk.
2.11
.
unto
you
is
born
this
day
a
Saviour
in
the
City
of
David
which
is
Christ
the
Lord
,
all
that
Jesus
Christ
did
and
suffered
were
acts
of
his
Office
.
If
Adam
a
meer
man
had
performed
pure
and
perfect
obedience
it
should
have
been
meritorious
,
how
much
more
eminently
meritorious
are
all
the
acts
of
the
obedience
of
Jesus
Christ
.
One
consideration
more
I
shall
add
,
to
illustrate
the
wonderful
sufferings
of
Jesus
Christ
,
by
shewing
that
they
do
infinitely
exceed
all
the
sufferings
of
man
,
either
the
sufferings
of
the
Elect
in
this
life
,
or
the
sufferings
of
the
damned
in
Hell
.
Jesus
Christ
suffered
as
a
publick
person
,
the
punishment
of
all
our
sin
was
laid
upon
him
,
Isa.
57.6
.
he
laid
upon
him
the
iniquities
of
us
all
,
he
had
no
sin
of
his
own
to
suffer
for
,
but
he
was
made
sin
for
us
,
2
Cor.
5.21
.
and
all
our
sins
were
nailed
to
the
cross
of
Jesus
Christ
,
all
the
punishment
due
unto
the
sin
of
all
Gods
Elect
was
laid
upon
him
.
The
sufferings
of
Christ
were
of
value
sufficient
to
satisfie
justice
for
all
sin
:
though
in
the
application
thereof
unto
us
by
the
new
Covenant
only
the
Elect
doe
receive
and
partake
of
the
benefit
thereof
.
Sufferings
of
infinite
value
were
necessary
to
redeem
one
Soul
,
and
sufferings
of
Infinite
value
are
enough
to
redeem
all
the
world
,
yea
,
many
worlds
.
Our
greatest
sufferings
(
alass
)
are
of
small
value
,
we
merit
nothing
but
hell
by
our
deepest
sufferings
:
our
sufferings
at
best
are
spotted
and
stained
with
sin

suffered
the

The
History
of
the
wonderfull
Conception
of
Jesus
Christ
,
and
the
sad
afflictions
and
sufferings
that
attended
the
same
.
LOrd
help
me
with
humble
Reverence
to
handle
the
holy
History
of
the
holy
life
sufferings
and
death
of
our
blessed
Lord
Jesus
Christ
.
In
the
first
and
last
periods
of
the
life
of
Jesus
Christ
in
the
world
,
his
sufferings
and
passive
obedience
were
most
conspicuous
,
in
the
intermediate
periods
of
his
life
,
his
active
obedience
to
the
Law
of
God
,
was
most
conspicuous
,
as
will
afterwards
appear
in
the
History
thereof
.
Though
the
conception
of
Jesus
Christ
was
exceeding
glorious
,
above
the
dignity
of
any
man
that
ever
was
born
of
a
woman
,
yet
was
the
morning
of
his
life
black
and
tempestuous
,
very
dark
according
to
the
Prophesy
,
Isai.
53.2
.
as
a
tender
plant
,
as
a
Root
out
of
a
dry
ground
,
this
I
shall
open
in
four
particulars
.
1.
His
Conception
was
wonderful
and
Divine
,
and
this
appeareth
in
sundry
respects
.
1.
In
respect
of
the
Angel
whom
God
sent
to
be
his
Messenger
to
manage
and
transact
this
glorious
and
divine
work
,
Luk.
26.27
.
the
Angel
Gabriel
was
sent
from
God
,
the
time
of
the
coming
of
this
Angelical
Messenger
from
God
,
is
expressed
to
be
in
the
sixth
Moneth
after
John
Baptist
his
conception
,
which
consideration
will
be
of
some
use
afterward
,
the
place
he
came
to
was
a
City
in
Galilee
of
the
Gentiles
,
named
Nazareth
,
a
place
of
little
expectation
,
Joh.
1.46
.
Can
any
good
thing
come
out
of
Nazareth
?
this
is
the
place
of
the
first
springing
of
that
glorious
branch
Jesus
Christ
,
which
is
marked
by
Mathew
,
Math.
2.23
.
as
the
fulfilling
of
the
Prophesies
,
viz.
those
Prophesies
where
Jesus
Christ
is
called
the
Branch
,
from
which
word
that
city
had
its
Name
.
The
person
to
whom
the
Angel
came
was
a
Virgin
,
espoused
lately
unto
Joseph
both
of
them
of
the
house
of
David
,
and
the
next
and
proper
heirs
of
the
crown
of
David
;
this
God
knew
,
though
the
world
took
no
notice
of
it
.
The
Virgins
Name
was
Mary
.
2.
This
Conception
was
wonderful
,
in
respect
of
the
heavenly
Salutation
,
which
the
Angel
expressed
unto
Mary
,
haile
thou
that
art
highly
favoured
,
the
Lord
is
with
●hee
,
blessed
art
thou
among
women
,
all
this
is
true
and
pertinent
,
seeing
she
was
appointed
by
God
,
to
be
the
Mother
of
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ
.
3.
In
respect
of
the
Effect
of
this
vision
upon
her
heart
,
which
was
trouble
,
fear
&
●mazement
at
this
glorious
&
heavenly
Salutation
,
she
cast
in
her
mind
what
manner
of
Salutation
this
was
,
&
what
the
meaning
thereof
should
be
;
surely
it
wrought
●own
her
godly
heart
to
humble
thoughts
of
her self
,
and
prepared
and
raised
her
●eart
unto
heavenly
expectations
.
4.
The
Angel
qualifieth
her
fear
,
and
informeth
her
of
the
meaning
of
his
Salu●ation
,
and
of
what
God
was
about
to
do
with
her
,
and
for
her
.
Fear
not
Mary
,
for
●hou
hast
found
favour
with
God
,
and
thou
shalt
conceive
in
thy
womb
,
and
bring
forth
a
●on
,
and
call
his
Name
Jesus
.
5.
The
Angel
informeth
her
of
the
heavenl●
honour
,
dignity
,
and
glory
of
this
●er
Son
,
and
of
the
glorious
works
that
he
shall
do
,
he
shall
be
great
,
and
shall
be
●●lled
the
Son
of
the
highest
,
and
the
Lord
shall
give
unto
him
the
Throne
of
his
Father
●avid
,
and
he
shall
reign
over
the
house
of
Jacob
for
ever
,
and
of
his
Kingdome
there
●all
be
no
end
.
6.
Mary
objecteth
against
the
possibility
of
her
conception
,
seeing
she
knoweth
not
a
man
.
7.
The
Angel
answereth
her
Reason
,
by
raising
her
faith
to
expect
the
performance
of
the
promise
,
by
the
divine
and
Infinite
power
of
God
,
saying
,
the
Holy
Ghost
shall
come
upon
thee
,
and
the
power
of
the
Highest
shall
over-shadow
thee
,
therefore
also
that
holy
thing
which
shall
be
borne
of
thee
,
shall
be
called
the
Son
of
God
,
and
behold
thy
Couzen
Elizabeth
she
hath
also
conceived
(
namely
by
faith
as
also
Sarah
did
)
in
her
old
Age
,
and
this
is
the
sixth
Moneth
with
her
who
was
called
barren
,
for
with
God
nothing
shall
be
unpossible
.
8.
Mary
by
faith
submitteth
her self
to
the
will
of
God
.
She
said
,
behold
the
Handmaid
of
the
Lord
,
be
it
unto
me
according
to
thy
word
.
And
that
this
was
an
act
of
Faith
in
Mary
,
doth
appear
b●
the
Te●timony
of
the
Holy
Gho●t
,
who
spake
by
Elizabeth
,
Luk.
1.45
.
and
blessed
is
she
that
believed
,
for
there
shall
be
a
performance
of
those
things
which
were
told
her
from
the
Lord
.
And
the
Holy
Gho●t
whose
Office
is
to
bring
to
our
remembrance
the
word
of
God
which
we
have
heard
,
Joh.
14.26
.
did
(
doubtless
)
bring
to
her
remembrance
,
and
presented
to
her
humble
believing
Soul
,
that
word
of
God
,
Isai.
7.14
.
behold
a
Virgin
shall
be
with
Child
,
and
shall
bring
forth
a
Son
,
and
they
shall
call
his
Name
Emmanuel
,
which
being
interpreted
,
is
,
God
with
us
,
by
Faith
in
this
Word
of
God
she
did
conceive
,
all
this
may
justly
be
gathered
from
that
Text
,
Math.
1.22
,
23.
The
second
particular
touching
the
dark
morning
of
the
Incarnation
of
Jesus
Christ
.
Thus
far
the
morning
of
the
Incarnation
of
Jesus
Chri
t
was
bright
and
glorious
,
but
behold
presently
a
dark
cloud
ariseth
,
which
involveth
both
Joseph
and
Mary
,
and
the
holy
conception
in
her
womb
in
bitter
anguish
and
distress
,
Mary
must
and
did
of
necessity
tell
Joseph
that
she
was
with
child
,
and
that
this
matter
befell
her
since
their
Espousals
,
and
opened
to
him
all
the
History
of
it
,
all
that
the
Angel
had
said
,
and
that
the
effect
of
this
divine
vision
is
,
that
she
is
with
child
.
This
was
amazing
tidings
to
Joseph
,
he
would
ask
her
what
Testimony
,
Evidence
,
or
proof
she
could
bring
,
that
these
things
were
so
as
she
had
said
;
alass
,
there
was
no
Testimony
or
proof
to
be
made
of
these
things
,
only
Mary
her self
in
her
own
cause
and
defence
.
To
be
begotten
with
child
after
Espousals
,
is
by
the
Law
of
God
a
capital
offence
.
such
incredible
stories
as
you
tell
in
your
own
defence
,
I
have
no
rule
to
believe
:
I
love
you
dearly
,
but
I
cannot
,
I
may
not
believe
you
,
and
much
less
will
the
judges
,
or
any
body
else
give
credit
to
your
Apolog●
.
Joseph
took
this
matter
into
deep
consideration
,
Math.
1.20
.
what
an
heart
wounding
consideration
must
this
needs
strike
into
the
heart
and
Soul
of
Mary
!
who
knew
her
own
Innocency
yet
could
by
no
means
clear
her self
to
her
Husband
.
Josephs
godly
heart
was
rent
and
distressed
,
he
loved
his
godly
espoused
wife
,
but
his
love
to
God
&
zeal
of
his
Law
obliged
him
to
put
away
his
espoused
and
beloved
wife
,
God
is
to
be
loved
in
the
first
place
,
and
this
is
the
Law
of
God
,
Deut.
22.20
,
21.
if
this
thing
be
true
,
(
viz.
that
she
is
with
child
)
then
they
shall
bring
out
the
Damosel
to
the
dore
of
her
Fathers
house
,
and
the
men
of
her
City
shall
stone
her
with
stones
that
she
dye
:
because
she
hath
wrought
folly
in
Israel
,
to
play
the
whore
in
her
Fathers
house
,
so
shalt
thou
put
away
evil
from
among
you
.
How
bitterly
would
the
sword
of
this
Law
pierce
through
the
godly
heart
of
Mary
?
and
how
would
it
fill
her
Soul
with
such
distress
,
as
would
not
a
little
affect
the
very
conception
of
her
womb
?
to
be
so
near
destruction
,
his
Mother
,
who
had
conceived
him
,
to
be
stoned
to
death
at
her
Fathers
dore
,
and
that
b●
the
Law
of
God
.
But
Joseph
was
a
just
man
,
that
is
,
right
godly
,
holy
,
and
merciful
,
he
was
not
willing
to
expose
his
Espoused
unto
the
rigour
of
the
Law
,
to
the
shame
and
disgrace
of
her
,
and
her
Relations
.
Mean
while
when
these
considerations
were
before
them
,
oh
how
would
good
Mary
cry
unto
God
to
clear
her
Innocency
.
But
good
Joseph
called
to
mind
a
more
gentle
Law
,
which
left
it
in
his
liberty
to
deal
more
g●ntly
with
her
,
and
he
purposed
to
act
towards
Mary
according
to
that
Law
,
Deut.
24.1
.
when
a
man
hath
taken
a
wife
,
and
married
her
,
and
it
come
to
pass
that
she
find
no
favour
in
his
eyes
,
because
he
hath
found
some
uncleanness
in
her
:
then
let
him
write
her
a
Bill
of
Divorce
,
and
give
it
in
her
hand
,
and
send
her
out
of
his
house
,
by
this
Law
,
or
some
other
of
like
importance
,
Joseph
(
considering
deeply
of
the
matter
)
purposed
to
walk
,
Math.
1.19
.
Joseph
her
Husband
being
a
just
man
,
and
not
willing
to
make
her
a
publick
Example
(
viz.
by
the
Law
,
Deut.
22.20
,
21.
)
was
minded
to
put
her
away
privily
,
viz.
by
that
Law
.
Deut.
24.1
.
this
I
propose
with
submission
.
But
alas
,
this
was
but
small
relief
to
innocent
Mary
,
though
her
life
,
and
her
conception
was
by
this
means
spared
,
yet
the
scandal
remained
,
and
the
reproach
of
Incontinency
and
Whoredome
in
the
Mother
,
and
Illegitimacy
on
the
child
,
and
all
this
came
upon
them
,
not
malitiously
by
adversaryes
,
for
then
it
might
have
been
borne
,
but
regularly
by
the
Law
of
God
,
&
by
Joseph
walking
regularly
,
according
to
the
Law
of
God
,
doing
what
he
did
in
obedience
to
the
Law
,
this
was
a
bitter
pill
to
them
both
.
Oh
the
distressed
cryes
,
prayers
,
tears
,
&
lamentations
would
their
godly
hearts
be
involved
,
drowned
in
!
the
distress
was
such
,
that
no
creature
could
help
them
out
of
it
,
nor
give
counsel
and
advice
in
the
case
,
only
they
cry
to
God
,
Lord
appear
in
the
Mount
.
Now
the
Lord
who
useth
to
pity
and
relieve
his
children
that
cry
unto
him
in
their
distress
,
relieved
these
his
dear
Children
,
as
appeareth
,
Math.
1.20
,
21.
while
Joseph
pondered
on
these
things
,
behold
the
Angel
of
the
Lord
appeared
to
him
in
a
dream
,
saying
,
Joseph
thou
Son
of
David
,
fear
not
to
take
unto
thee
Mary
thy
wife
,
for
that
which
is
conceived
in
her
is
of
the
Holy
Ghost
,
and
she
shall
bring
forth
a
Son
,
and
thou
shalt
call
his
Name
Jesus
,
for
he
shall
save
his
people
from
their
sins
.
Oh
what
an
ease
and
lifting
up
of
heart
was
this
to
Joseph
!
and
what
a
fulness
of
confirmation
of
the
Faith
of
Mary
,
and
consolation
to
her
distressed
Soul
,
when
Ioseph
related
the
same
unto
her
.
Now
Ioseph
with
all
speed
consummated
(
according
to
their
publick
manner
)
their
marriage
,
and
took
her
to
his
house
.
Yet
they
now
both
being
divinely
informed
of
the
divinity
of
her
Conception
,
and
well
knowing
the
promise
of
the
Messiah
,
and
the
expectation
of
all
Israel
,
of
his
coming
about
this
time
,
and
believing
the
Divine
Oracle
,
that
this
is
he
,
by
consent
and
agreement
,
out
of
holy
reverence
to
the
Lord
,
he
knew
her
not
till
she
had
brought
forth
her
first
born
Son
,
and
he
called
his
Name
Iesus
,
Math.
1.25
.
3.
Though
the
present
breaking
forth
of
this
Scandal
,
was
now
divinely
and
wonderfully
prevented
from
coming
forth
by
Ioseph
,
yet
they
were
in
danger
that
some
degree
of
Scandal
might
break
forth
,
by
an
over
soon
time
of
her
Birth
,
and
in
that
case
they
never
want
observers
of
the
time
of
marriages
,
especially
when
there
be
signal
Characters
upon
the
Parents
,
or
concerning
the
Birth
,
as
it
was
eminently
in
this
case
.
But
we
shall
see
in
the
sequel
of
the
History
,
that
the
Divine
Providence
of
God
did
draw
two
Mantles
over
this
danger
,
whereby
the
matter
was
put
out
of
the
reach
of
all
observations
of
any
man
,
viz.
The
first
Mantle
was
,
that
by
occasion
of
Caesars
Taxation
of
all
the
world
under
his
dominion
,
Ioseph
and
Mary
were
called
,
yea
,
compelled
,
though
she
was
big
with
child
,
to
go
to
Bethlehem
the
City
of
David
,
and
there
the
child
was
born
,
far
from
home
,
where
there
was
no
body
had
any
knowledge
of
these
things
,
to
make
so
critical
an
observation
.
The
second
Mantle
was
that
by
reason
of
Herods
persecution
,
Ioseph
and
Mary
with
the
child
,
were
by
Divine
direction
sent
away
to
Egypt
,
where
they
stayed
about
two
years
,
even
till
Herods
death
,
after
which
th●
Lord
called
them
home
again
,
and
though
they
went
and
lived
in
their
own
City
,
yet
now
the
child
was
upward
of
two
years
old
,
and
all
thoughts
of
such
a
curious
observation
,
were
utterly
buryed
in
forgetfulness
.
So
that
the
danger
of
a
seeming
Scandal
,
was
quite
covered
by
these
two
Mantles
,
which
we
shall
again
touch
in
the
time
of
them
.
Now
the
Lord
took
care
for
the
confirmation
of
the
Faith
of
Ioseph
and
Mary
,
and
all
the
believers
in
those
times
,
and
for
the
confirmation
of
our
Faith
,
and
the
Faith
of
all
the
Churches
to
the
Worlds
end
.
And
this
the
Lord
brought
about
,
by
putting
it
into
the
heart
of
Mary
to
goe
(
with
the
consent
of
her
husband
)
to
visit
her
Couzen
Elizabeth
,
the
Mother
of
Iohn
Baptist
,
of
whose
Conception
six
Moneths
before
Maryes
,
the
Angel
had
informed
Mary
.
Now
therefore
this
holy
couple
being
agreed
,
in
holy
reverence
to
the
Lord
,
to
abstain
from
the
use
of
the
marriage
bed
,
Mary
did
speedily
upon
the
consummation
of
the
marriage
,
goe
unto
her
Couzen
Elizabeth
,
ver.
39.
and
Mary
arose
in
those
dayes
,
and
went
into
the
hill
Country
with
haste
,
into
a
City
of
Iudah
,
and
entered
into
the
house
of
Zacharias
,
and
saluted
Elizabeth
.
And
it
came
to
pass
that
when
Elizabeth
heard
the
Salutation
of
Mary
,
the
babe
leaped
in
her
womb
,
and
Elizabeth
was
filled
with
the
Holy
Ghost
,
and
she
spake
out
with
a
loud
voice
,
and
said
,
blessed
art
thou
among
Women
,
and
blessed
is
the
fruit
of
thy
Womb.
And
whence
is
this
to
me
,
that
the
Mother
of
my
Lord
should
come
unto
me
?
for
lo
,
so
soon
as
the
voice
of
thy
Salutation
sounded
in
mine
Ears
,
the
babe
leaped
for
joy
,
and
blessed
is
she
that
believed
,
for
there
shall
be
a
performance
of
those
things
which
were
told
her
from
the
Lo

Vpon
this
Divine
and
Oraculous
Speech
of
this
holy
Woman
Elizabeth
,
whose
holiness
is
recorded
,
Luk.
1.6
.
Zacharias
and
Elizabeth
were
both
righteous
before
God
,
walking
in
all
the
Commandments
and
Ordinances
of
the
Lord
blameless
,
by
the
mouth
of
this
holy
Woman
did
the
Holy
Ghost
now
speak
,
upon
which
Speech
many
great
things
may
he
observed
,
for
the
confirmation
of
Maryes
Faith
and
ours
.
Mary
knew
that
no
humane
means
had
inform
d
Elizabeth
of
the
great
things
that
the
Angel
had
said
unto
her
,
and
of
her
Conception
by
the
power
of
the
Holy
Ghost
,
and
of
the
great
promises
of
God
,
which
the
Angel
uttered
touching
her
Son
,
it
was
the
Holy
Ghost
that
had
informed
her
of
all
these
things
,
and
now
the
Holy
Ghost
filled
the
hea●t
and
mouth
of
this
good
woman
,
to
utter
all
this
,
for
the
confirmation
of
he●
Faith
,
it
was
the
Holy
Ghost
that
informed
her
of
Maryes
submission
of
Faith
at
he●
Conception
,
it
is
the
Holy
Ghost
that
now
saith
unto
her
,
blessed
is
she
that
believed
this
must
needs
raise
the
Faith
and
joy
of
Mary
,
to
have
such
a
Divine
Testimon●
given
unto
all
that
had
passed
.
The
power
of
the
Holy
Ghost
upon
the
sanctifie●
heart
of
Iohn
,
the
babe
in
the
Womb
is
a
great
confirmation
of
Faith
,
that
the
bab●
conceived
in
Maryes
Womb
is
the
Messiah
,
and
that
Iohn
is
his
forerunner
.
It
wa●
no
small
comfort
to
Mary
,
that
this
holy
aged
Woman
did
so
bless
her
,
and
th●
fruit
of
her
womb
,
about
which
she
had
lately
been
in
such
bitterness
and
distres●
The
Angels
speech
to
Ioseph
had
comforted
her
,
and
now
the
Holy
Ghost
do●
greatly
add
confirmation
to
her
comfort
and
joy
.
That
Elizabeth
by
the
Ho●●
Ghost
should
call
her
the
Mother
of
her
Lord
,
and
prove
it
by
the
miraculous
leaping
of
the
babe
in
her
Womb
for
joy
.
O
what
heavenly
and
heart
ravishing
jo●
did
all
this
work
in
the
holy
heart
of
Mary
!
And
that
it
did
thus
raise
and
ravi●●
her
heart
,
appeareth
in
Maryes
holy
and
heavenly
Answer
,
by
the
assistance
of
t●●
Holy
Ghost
,
who
now
hath
filled
her
heart
,
as
he
had
done
unto
Elizabeth
,
as
appeareth
Luk.
1.46
.
&c.
to
56.
and
Mary
said
,
my
soul
doth
magnifie
the
Lord
,
and
my
spirit
rejoiced
in
God
my
Saviour
,
for
he
regarded
the
low
estate
of
his
hand-maid
,
for
behold
from
henceforth
all
Generations
shall
call
me
blessed
,
for
he
that
is
mighty
hath
done
to
me
great
things
,
and
holy
is
his
Name
,
and
his
mercy
is
on
them
that
fear
him
from
Generation
to
Generation
,
he
hath
shewed
strength
with
his
arm
,
he
hath
scattered
the
proud
in
the
imaginations
of
their
hearts
,
&c.
to
ver.

Vpon
this
speech
of
Maryes
,
eminent
sp●cimens
of
her
faith
and
holiness
may
be
remarked
:
but
I
shall
pass
them
,
&
chiefly
attend
to
the
history
:
yet
I
cannot
pass
by
this
eminent
pattern
of
holy
conference
,
when
Christians
meet
together
,
and
what
a
fulness
of
spirit
doth
usually
attend
the
Saints
,
when
their
meeting
together
is
sanctified
by
holy
conference
and
Prayer
.
I
appeal
in
this
case
to
the
experience
of
all
the
Saints
,
that
keep
an
holy
watch
.
I
mean
not
an
extraordinary
presence
of
the
Spirit
,
but
ordinary
.
We
are
great
losers
by
being
careless
and
slight
in
this
great
point
of
christian
conversation
.
The
time
of
Maryes
tarriance
with
her
Couzen
Elizabeth
,
was
about
three
moneths
,
Luk.
1.56
.
and
Mary
abode
with
her
about
three
moneths
,
and
returned
to
her
own
house
.
Maryes
conception
of
our
Lord
Jesus
,
was
about
six
months
after
the
conception
of
John
Baptist
,
Luk.
1.36
.
this
is
the
sixth
moneth
with
her
,
who
was
called
barren
.
&
Mary
tarrying
about
three
months
with
her
,
yet
returned
before
the
birth
of
John
,
she
tarried
till
Elizabeth
was
very
near
her
travail
;
for
here
are
nine
months
mentioned
.
It
were
curiosity
to
enquire
why
she
tarried
not
till
the
birth
of
John
.
When
she
came
to
Ioseph
,
we
ma●
justly
conceive
that
she
told
him
what
had
passed
when
she
came
to
her
Couzen
Elizabeth
,
for
the
confirmation
of
his
Faith
and
joy
.
And
now
having
gone
three
months
of
her
time
,
it
appeared
evident
to
Joseph
,
for
the
help
of
his
Faith
,
that
she
was
indeed
with
child
,
as
she
had
said
unto
him
,
and
that
all
these
wonderfull
things
which
Mary
had
told
him
were
true
,
though
at
first
they
seemed
to
him
incredible
.
Thus
did
the
Lord
mightily
confirm
the
Faith
and
joy
of
these
two
precious
Saints
,
yea
and
of
all
believers
to
the
worlds
end
.
4.
In
this
dark
morning
of
the
incarnation
of
our
Lord
Jesus
before
he
was
born
,
he
was
under
a
suffering
that
was
great
in
the
eyes
of
the
Lord
,
that
the
Lord
of
Glory
with
his
holy
parents
should
fall
under
a
taxation
by
the
great
,
proud
Lords
of
the
world
,
from
which
the
children
,
and
this
child
especially
,
should
have
been
free
;
but
goe
they
must
to
be
taxed
.
And
whether
this
taxation
was
out
of
pride
,
that
Caesar
might
see
the
vast
numbers
of
his
Subjects
(
once
a
great
failing
in
good
David
)
or
whether
it
was
out
of
covetousness
,
to
raise
vast
sums
of
money
upon
every
taxed
head
,
or
rather
out
of
both
these
carnal
principles
;
yet
sure
enough
it
was
an
oppression
,
a
suffering
that
fell
upon
our
Lord
Jesus
before
he
was
born
.
Yea
further
,
this
matter
exposed
our
Lord
Jesus
to
a
very
great
danger
of
Herod
,
who
knowing
himself
to
be
a
usurper
of
Davids
crown
,
and
being
extreamly
jealous
of
being
outed
of
his
Kingdome
,
and
knowing
also
that
all
Israel
was
in
expectation
of
the
birth
of
the
right
Heir
,
who
might
out
him
of
his
Kingdome
.
Consider
what
an
opportunity
was
put
into
his
hand
by
this
taxation
to
find
out
the
right
heir
,
for
the
manner
of
numbring
Israel
,
was
by
numbring
the
Tribes
,
and
Families
thereof
:
Now
all
the
royal
Family
of
David
were
called
to
be
taxed
at
Bethlehem
;
the
Register
and
Genealogyes
of
David
might
have
been
searched
,
and
there
Ioseph
and
Mary
,
and
the
babe
in
her
womb
,
might
have
been
found
ut
by
Herod
:
but
the
wise
and
mercifull
providence
of
God
,
hid
this
rom
him
,
and
he
rested
himself
satisfied
in
the
deep
plot
he
had
excogitated
,
by
occasion
of
the
wise
men
of
the
east
,
of
which
hereafter
.
Yea
God
so
over-ruled
this
taxation
,
that
he
hath
made
it
an
eminent
confirmation
of
our
Faith
:
for
behold
here
a
most
illustrious
proof
that
Jesus
Christ
is
of
the
house
and
line
of
the
royal
family
of
David
:
Caesar's
act
hath
proved
it
,
who
thought
of
no
such
thing
.
And
shall
I
say
it
is
probable
that
our
two
Scripture
Genealogies
in
Matthew
&
Luke
,
were
taken
out
of
Davids
Genealogie
,
kept
at
Bethlehem
the
city
of
David
?
Where
Herod
might
readily
have
found
the
right
heir
to
Davids
crown
:
But
God
hid
it
from
his
eyes
.
Again
,
by
means
of
this
taxation
,
Jesus
Christ
was
born
at
Bethlehem
,
according
to
the
Scriptures
Math.
2.5
,
6.
And
Caesar's
act
was
over-ruled
by
God
,
to
make
this
word
to
be
accomplished
.
And
lastly
,
Caesar
caused
Mary
to
be
far
from
home
,
where
she
was
delivered
,
&
laid
aside
out
of
all
observation
of
her
observers
,
touching
the
time
of
the
birth
of
her
first-born
.
And
this
is
one
of
the
forenamed
Mantles
,
which
the
Lord
drew
over
that
Danger
.
CAP.
III.
The
History
of
the
birth
of
Iesus
Christ
,
and
the
wonderful
things
that
attended
the
same
THE
admirable
providence
of
God
doth
so
over-rule
all
Nations
,
Persons
,
motions
and
affairs
:
that
every
juncture
is
timed
and
ordered
according
to
the
good
pleasure
of
his
will
,
and
for
the
accomplishment
of
his
Word
&
promises
to
his
Servants
.
Who
could
have
brought
this
to
pass
,
that
Mary
must
bring
forth
her
son
Jesus
at
Bethlehem
,
so
far
remote
from
Nazareth
where
they
dwelt
?
But
to
accomplish
this
Caesar
must
make
a
decree
,
to
tax
all
the
world
,
this
must
be
executed
in
Iudea
;
thither
must
Joseph
and
Mary
goe
.
This
Decree
must
comprehend
the
house
of
David
,
therefore
all
the
royal
Family
of
David
,
must
at
the
time
appointed
,
meet
at
Bethlehem
:
and
all
this
must
come
to
pass
,
when
Mary
was
neer
the
time
of
her
travail
,
Luk.
2.3
,
4
,
5.
All
went
to
be
taxed
,
&
every
one
in
his
own
city
,
Ioseph
also
went
up
from
Galile
,
out
of
the
city
of
Nazareth
,
into
Iudea
unto
the
city
of
David
,
which
is
called
Bethlehem
,
because
he
was
of
the
house
and
linage
of
David
,
to
be
taxed
with
Mary
his
espoused
wife
,
being
great
with
child
.
When
they
came
there
,
though
they
were
all
of
the
same
tribe
,
family
&
kindred
,
yet
living
at
such
a
distance
,
they
had
no
private
friend
or
acquaintance
,
unto
whose
house
●ey
could
goe
for
shelter
,
and
entertainment
:
but
they
went
to
some
publick
Inn
,
and
there
took
up
their
lodging
and
place
of
abode
:
in
which
Inn
,
by
reason
of
great
resort
at
that
time
,
all
the
rooms
within
doors
were
so
taken
up
or
ingaged
,
that
there
was
no
room
for
such
a
poor
couple
to
be
entertained
;
only
there
was
a
vacant
end
of
an
out-house
,
a
Stable
where
horses
use
to
stand
,
if
he
would
accept
of
that
he
might
.
Necessity
compelled
them
to
accept
it
;
for
Maryes
time
of
travail
was
at
hand
;
it
concerned
them
to
doe
the
best
they
could
.
It
is
like
Ioseph
made
what
provision
he
could
,
and
there
took
up
his
lodging
,
while
he
should
tarry
in
the
town
.
And
here
was
Mary
delivered
,
here
was
our
Lord
Jesus
born
,
Luk.
2.6.7
.
And
loe
it
was
that
while
they
were
there
,
the
dayes
were
accomplished
that
she
should
be
delivered
,
and
she
brought
forth
her
first-born
Son
,
and
wrapped
him
in
swadling
clothes
,
and
laid
him
in
a
Manger
,
because
there
was
no
room
for
them
in
the
Inn.
Jesus
Christ
emptied
himself
of
glory
,
and
came
into
this
world
in
a
very
mean
condition
;
such
was
his
low
condition
,
that
it
was
a
great
tryal
to
Faith
;
it
was
an
●vidence
of
strong
Faith
,
to
be
able
to
look
through
these
dark
clouds
&
believe
.
To
believe
him
to
be
the
Lord
of
Glory
,
the
Saviour
of
the
world
,
the
King
of
Israel
,
who
hath
no
outward
form
nor
comliness
,
nor
beauty
that
we
should
d●sire
him
.
The
Church
did
find
this
to
be
a
very
hard
point
,
a
great
tryal
of
Faith
.
For
this
cause
it
pleased
the
Lord
to
illustrate
this
mean
birth
of
Jes●s
Christ
,
with
famous
testimonies
both
from
heaven
and
earth
to
strengthen
the
Faith
of
the
Church
.
The
testimony
from
heaven
was
given
by
Angels
.
Luk.
2.8

ad

a
famous
History
,
and
a
great
confirmation
of
the
faith
of
the
Church
to
the
worlds
end
.
It
was
a
vision
unto
Shepards
by
night
,
wherein
a
glorious
light
of
the
Lord
did
shine
abo●t
the
men
,
which
did
much
affright
them
,
but
the
Angel
did
comfort
them
against
th●ir
fears
,
saying
Fear
not
.
He
telleth
them
he
was
a
Messenger
of
joyfull
tidings
unto
all
people
:
he
telleth
them
what
the
tidings
is
,
viz.
Vnto
you
is
born
this
day
in
the
city
of
David
a
Saviour
,
which
is
Christ
the
Lord
,
the
blessedest
tidings
that
e●er
in
a
few
words
was
told
unto
men
.
The
Angel
sends
them
to
see
,
and
giveth
them
a
sign
by
which
they
shall
know
him
,
ver.
12.
this
shall
be
a
sign
unto
you
,
ye
shall
find
the
babe
wrapped
in
swadling
clothes
,
lying
in
a
Manger
.
The
greatest
humility
that
ever
any
king
did
manifest
in
this
world
.
For
the
further
confirmation
of
their
Faith
and
ours
,
suddenly
there
appeared
a
multitude
of
the
heavenly
host
with
the
Angel
,
praising
God
and
saying
,
glory
to
God
in
the
highest
,
in
earth
peace
,
and
good
will
towards
men
.
Here
be
three
points
in
this
heavenly
Doxology
,
of
high
Instruction
and
Consolation
.
and
so
they
departed
away
to
heaven
.
Then
the
Shephards
agreed
to
go
see
this
thing
that
was
come
to
pass
,
The
Shepards
said
one
to
another
,
let
us
now
goe
unto
Bethlehem
,
and
see
this
thing
which
is
come
to
pass
,
which
the
Lord
hath
made
known
unto
us
.
And
they
came
with
haste
,
and
found
Mary
and
Ioseph
,
and
the
babe
lying
in
a
Manger
,
and
when
they
had
seen
they
made
known
abroad
the
saying
which
was
told
them
concerning
this
child
,
the
effect
whereof
upon
the
hearers
was
,
all
they
that
heard
it
,
wondered
at
these
things
that
were
told
them
by
the
Shephards
.
The
Testimony
from
earth
touching
this
Child
was
by
the
wise
Men
of
the
east
who
knew
that
the
Jews
waited
for
and
expected
a
king
and
Saviour
to
be
born
,
and
come
into
the
world
,
and
they
were
divinely
instructed
and
guided
to
come
and
see
him
,
and
worship
him
,
and
make
their
offering
of
homage
and
honour
unto
him
;
in
which
service
,
they
were
instructed
and
conducted
by
an
extraordinary
Star
.
And
seeing
they
enquired
after
a
king
that
was
born
,
they
went
to
the
Kings
Court
to
Herod
,
to
enquire
after
him
,
Math.
2.2
.
saying
,
where
is
he
that
is
born
King
of
the
Iews
?
for
we
have
seen
his
Star
in
the
east
,
and
are
come
to
worship
him
.
Now
King
Herod
is
eminently
informed
that
Jesus
Christ
is
born
,
who
would
,
as
he
doubted
,
out
him
of
his
Kingdome
.
The
effect
of
this
tiding
:
is
,
ver.

When
Herod
the
King
heard
these
things
,
he
was
extreamly
troubled
,
and
all
Ierusalem
with
him
,
especially
such
as
were
of
his
faction
and
apostacy
.
Herod
contrived
how
he
might
be
sure
to
find
him
out
,
and
get
him
into
his
hands
,
and
then
resolved
what
to
doe
with
him
.
For
this
end
,
First
,
ver
.

He
gathered
all
the
chief
Priests
and
Scribes
of
the
people
together
,
and
demanded
of
them
where
Christ
should
be
born
?
They
answered
v.
5.
In
Bethlehem
of
Iudea
;
For
thus
it
is
written
by
the
Prophet
,
v.
6.
And
thou
Bethlehem
in
the
Land
of
Iudah
,
art
not
the
least
among
the
Princes
,
for
out
of
thee
shall
come
a
Governour
that
shall
rule
my
people
Israel
.
Then
Herod
sent
them
to
Bethlehem
,
v.
9.
when
they
had
heard
the
King
,
they
departed
,
&
when
they
were
departed
,
lo
the
Star
which
they
had
seen
in
the
east
,
appeared
to
them
,
again
&
went
before
them
,
till
it
came
and
stood
over
where
the
young
child
was
:
when
they
saw
the
Star
,
they
rejoyced
with
exceeding
great
joy
.
It
seemeth
they
had
no
sight
of
the
Star
all
the
time
they
were
at
the
Court
,
and
whether
they
had
sight
of
it
in
their
journey
to
Ierusalem
,
it
is
not
said
.
But
now
that
Star
that
had
appeared
to
them
in
the
east
,
appeared
to
them
again
,
and
conducted
them
to
the
very
place
where
the
child
was
,
and
when
they
were
come
into
the
house
,
viz.
the
Stable
,
the
poor
chamber
where
Mary
Lay
in
,
and
where
our
Lord
Jesus
was
born
.
They
saw
the
young
child
,
with
Mary
his
Mother
,
and
fell
down
and
worshipped
him
,
and
when
they
had
opened
their
treasures
,
they
presented
to
him
gifts
,
gold
,
frankincense
and
mirrhe
.
They
were
men
of
great
Faith
,
that
could
believe
him
to
be
King
and
Saviour
,
whom
they
found
in
so
poor
a
Cottage
,
and
in
so
poor
a
condition
;
but
divine
faith
built
upon
Divine
Testimony
,
can
bear
down
all
Objections
of
carnal
and
humane
Reason
,
this
faith
of
these
strangers
was
a
strengthening
pattern
to
all
believers
,
especially
to
Joseph
and
Mary
,
who
were
now
in
great
danger
.
Herod
having
such
assured
notice
of
the
birth
of
Jesus
Christ
at
Bethlehem
.
What
ever
the
danger
was
,
they
attended
upon
the
Lord
,
to
obey
all
his
Laws
and
Institutions
,
to
fulfil
them
according
to
the
Word
.
Therefore
,
Luk.

2.
when
eight
dayes
were
accomplished
,
for
circumcising
of
the
child
,
his
Name
was
called
Jesus
,
which
was
so
named
of
the
Angel
,
before
he
was
conceived
in
the
Womb.
Whether
this
service
was
performed
in
the
stable
,
where
he
was
born
,
nothing
is
said
of
it
.
but
we
may
justly
cenceive
that
some
of
the
godly
hearing
of
these
eminent
and
Divine
Testimonies
,
touching
this
child
,
had
removed
them
to
some
fitter
place
,
before
the
eight
dayes
were
accomplished
,
and
it
may
be
,
out
of
the
City
,
if
they
were
aware
of
the
danger
,
that
the
child
and
his
parents
also
were
in
.
But
where
the
Scriptu●e
is
silent
,
why
should
we
speak
?
There
be
yet
two
Laws
more
to
be
performed
;
for
,
Luk.
1.39
.
they
performed
all
things
according
to
the
Law
.
The
two
Laws
remaining
were
the
purification
of
Mary
,
and
the
dedication
of
the
child
unto
God
,
which
were
te
be
performed
after
thirty
three
dayes
more
.
Obedience
to
both
these
Laws
they
diligently
performed
,
both
for
time
and
place
,
Luk.
2.22
.
and
when
the
dayes
of
her
purification
according
to
the
Law
of
Moses
were
accomplished
they
brought
him
to
Ierusalem
,
and
presented
him
to
the
Lord
,
as
it
is
written
in
the
Law
of
the
Lord
,
every
Male
that
openeth
the
Womb
,
shall
be
called
holy
to
the
Lord
.
And
to
offer
a
Sacrifice
according
to
that
which
is
said
in
the
Law
of
the
Lord
,
a
pair
of
Turtle
doves
,
or
two
young
pidgeons
which
is
the
poor
womans
offering
,
thus
did
they
perform
all
things
according
to
the
Law
of
the
Lord
.
In
this
low
condition
of
our
Lord
,
&
in
these
black
dark
times
,
which
were
now
at
the
dore
,
the
Church
did
need
strong
confirmations
of
Faith
,
to
believe
that
this
babe
is
the
Messiah
,
the
Saviour
of
the
World
,
the
King
of
Israel
.
Therefore
the
Lord
did
now
provide
two
eminent
and
heavenly
Testimonies
by
two
eminent
reverend
and
holy
persons
,
old
Simeon
,
and
old
Anna
,
who
were
wrought
by
the
Spirit
at
this
time
into
the
Temple
,
and
there
did
give
their
publick
Testimony
touching
this
babe
,
that
he
is
the
Lord
our
Redeemer
,
Luk.
2.25
,
ad
39.
The
first
Testimony
is
given
by
old
Simeon
,
whose
person
is
described
,
ver.
25.
behold
there
was
a
man
in
Jerusalem
whose
Name
was
Simeon
,
and
the
same
man
was
just
and
devout
,
waiting
for
the
consolation
of
Israel
,
and
the
Holy
Ghost
was
upon
him
.
This
holy
man
had
a
preparatory
Revelation
by
the
Holy
Ghost
,
which
is
expressed
,
ver.
26.
it
was
revealed
unto
him
by
the
Holy
Ghost
,
that
he
should
not
see
death
,
before
he
had
seen
the
Lords
Christ
.
This
man
his
coming
at
this
time
into
the
Temple
,
was
by
an
Impulse
of
the
Spirit
of
God
,
which
is
expressed
ver.
27.
and
he
came
b●
the
Spirit
into
the
Temple
,
and
just
then
the
Parents
brought
in
the
child
Jesus
,
to
do
for
him
after
the
custome
of
the
Law
.
Then
did
this
reverend
old
man
,
take
the
babe
into
his
arms
&
praised
God
,
ver.
28.
then
took
him
up
in
his
arms
and
blessed
God
and
said
,
ver.
29.
Lord
,
now
lettest
thou
thy
Servant
depart
in
peace
according
to
thy
word
,
namely
that
particular
promise
that
the
Holy
Ghost
had
told
him
,
that
he
should
not
dye
till
he
he
had
seen
the
Lords
Christ
,
and
now
he
seeth
&
hath
him
in
his
Arms
,
and
saith
,
)
ver.
30.
for
mine
eyes
have
seen
thy
Salvation
,
which
thou
hast
prepared
before
the
face
of
all
people
:
a
Light
to
lighten
the
Gentiles
,
in
the
glory
of
thy
people
Israel
This
illustrious
Prophesy
touching
this
babe
,
by
this
reverend
aged
man
,
did
put
the
hearts
of
Ioseph
and
Mary
into
a
great
wonderment
,
v.
33.
And
Ioseph
&
his
Mother
marvelled
at
those
things
which
were
spoken
of
him
:
whether
they
expressed
their
wonderment
to
this
reverend
man
,
it
is
not
said
,
but
it
is
probable
they
did
,
because
he
turneth
his
speech
to
them
,
v.
34.
And
Simeon
blessed
them
,
and
said
to
Mary
his
mother
,
behold
this
child
is
set
for
the
fall
and
rising
again
of
many
in
Israel
,
and
for
a
sign
which
shall
be
spoken
against
(
yea
a
sword
shall
pierce
through
thine
own
Soul
also
)
that
the
thoughts
of
many
hearts
may
be
revealed
.
Though
his
mother
was
happy
in
bearing
him
,
yet
must
look
to
share
in
the
calamityes
that
will
follow
the
entrance
of
the
Gospel
,
and
in
the
sufferings
which
Jesus
Christ
must
undergoe
.
The
other
reverend
and
aged
witness
is
old
Anna
,
whose
person
is
described
,
ver.
36.37
.
Anna
a
Prophetess
the
daughter
of
Phanuel
,
of
the
tribe
of
Asser
,
she
was
of
a
great
age
,
and
had
lived
with
an
husband
seven
years
from
her
virginity
,
and
she
was
a
Widdow
of
about
eighty
four
years
,
who
departed
not
from
the
temple
,
but
served
God
with
Fastings
and
Prayer
,
night
and
day
,
and
she
coming
in
that
instant
,
gave
thanks
likewise
to
the
Lord
,
and
spake
of
him
to
all
that
looked
for
redemption
in
Israel
.
Though
her
words
are
not
particularly
expressed
,
yet
the
scope
of
them
may
be
gathered
from
these
words
.
she
spake
to
all
them
that
looked
for
redemption
in
Israel
.
All
these
things
are
mighty
confirmations
of
Faith
,
and
all
very
needful
,
especially
for
Mary
and
Ioseph
●onsidering
the
sad
dayes
that
are
coming
upon
them
.
CAP.
IIII.
The
first
bloudy
Persecution
that
befell
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ
while
he
was
an
Infant
,
by
the
cruelty
of
Herod
.
HErod
knew
himself
to
be
an
usurper
of
the
crown
of
David
,
and
Kingdom
of
Judah
:
He
knew
that
the
Jews
waited
for
a
Redeemer
,
a
king
,
a
branch
of
the
stock
of
David
;
and
now
he
was
eminently
informed
by
the
wise
men
of
the
east
,
that
the
king
of
Judah
,
the
right
heir
of
the
Kingdome
of
David
was
born
,
and
that
he
was
born
at
Bethlehem
,
therefore
his
politick
wicked
heart
doth
presently
plot
and
contrive
how
he
may
lay
his
bloudy
hands
upon
him
.
He
could
not
tell
,
nor
could
they
inform
him
how
long
he
had
been
born
:
therefore
to
make
sure
of
that
,
he
craftily
and
privily
called
the
wise
men
,
and
asked
them
how
long
it
was
since
the
star
first
appeared
to
them
?
supposing
he
might
be
born
at
the
first
appearance
of
that
star
.
Therefore
Math.
2.7
.
he
privily
called
the
Wise
men
and
enquired
of
them
di
igently
what
time
the
Star
appeared
?
who
answered
,
that
it
had
appeared
to
them
two
years
.
Math.
2.16
.
Thus
hath
he
digged
deep
,
and
laid
his
plot
so
,
that
he
would
be
sure
(
as
he
thought
)
to
find
him
out
:
Which
being
done
,
Mat.
2.8
.
he
sent
them
to
Bethlehem
with
this
Order
and
appointment
,
Goe
search
diligently
for
the
young
child
,
and
when
ye
have
found
him
,
bring
me
word
again
,
that
I
may
come
and
worship
him
also
.
What
worship
he
intended
to
doe
unto
him
,
may
justly
be
interpreted
by
his
after
acting
in
that
matter
.
he
meant
to
have
worshipped
him
with
the
sword
.
Thus
was
this
bloudy
Persecution
plotted
and
contrived
in
the
jealous
and
bloudy
heart
of
Herod
.
He
made
no
doubt
,
but
that
as
these
wise
Men
came
first
to
him
to
enquire
after
the
child
,
so
they
would
in
good
manners
have
taken
their
leave
of
him
at
their
departure
,
especially
he
having
ordered
them
so
to
doe
.
It
is
not
said
that
they
did
make
a
promise
so
to
doe
,
or
that
he
required
such
a
promise
of
them
,
in
policy
he
would
not
so
doe
,
lest
they
should
have
smelt
something
thereby
.
But
they
,
when
they
had
found
the
Child
,
worshipped
him
,
and
made
their
offerings
to
him
,
Mat.
2.12
.
being
warned
of
God
in
a
dream
that
they
should
not
return
to
Herod
,
(
they
being
under
no
ingagement
so
to
doe
)
they
departed
to
their
own
Country
another
wa●
.
How
easily
might
Herod
have
found
out
both
the
Parents
and
the
child
,
by
searching
Davids
Genealogy
,
which
Caesar's
Taxation
had
caused
to
be
searched
and
made
publick
at
Bethlehem
.
Or
how
easily
might
he
have
apprehended
him
,
by
laying
wait
for
him
in
the
Temple
,
when
the
child
was
publickly
dedicated
to
God
?
But
God
hid
these
means
and
opportunityes
from
him
,
they
came
not
into
his
heart
,
because
he
rested
and
confided
,
as
carnal
Politicians
use
to
do
,
in
his
own
deep
&
cunningly
contrived
Stratagem
.
This
likewise
also
was
a
wonderfull
wisdome
of
God
,
to
delay
Herod
from
stirring
in
this
matter
,
for
about
six
weeks
time
,
whereby
opportunity
was
given
to
Joseph
and
Mary
to
perform
all
that
the
law
required
:
For
it
behoved
Jesus
Christ
to
fulfill
all
righteousness
and
perfectly
to
observe
the
law
of
God
:
and
he
did
so
.
But
this
is
to
be
observed
also
;
how
the
active
and
passive
obedience
of
Jesus
Christ
are
complicated
together
;
and
though
these
actions
were
the
fulfilling
of
Ceremonial
Laws
,
yet
they
were
acts
of
moral
obedience
to
the
first
and
second
Commandments
.
When
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ
was
publickly
dedicated
to
God
in
the
Temple
,
it
is
like
thousands
of
people
were
present
,
and
those
famous
Testimonies
touching
this
Child
by
those
holy
and
reverend
persons
Simeon
and
Anna
rang
among
the
people
and
were
greatly
spoken
off
,
and
magnified
,
which
would
soon
come
to
Herods
Ear
,
either
by
his
spyes
,
which
Tyrants
use
to
have
abroad
,
especially
at
such
publick
Assemblies
,
or
by
the
same
thereof
,
that
would
sound
loud
among
the
people
.
This
News
would
gaster
him
.
Now
he
presently
layes
out
to
apprehend
that
child
,
but
behold
&
admire
how
the
wisdom
of
God
prevented
him
,
that
night
,
Math.
2.13
,
14.
behold
an
Angel
of
the
Lord
appeared
in
a
dream
,
unto
Joseph
saying
,
arise
,
take
the
young
child
and
his
Mother
and
flee
into
Egypt
,
and
be
thou
there
,
until
I
bring
thee
word
for
Herod
will
seek
the
young
child
to
destroy
him
,
when
he
arose
he
took
the
young
child
,
&
his
mother
by
night
&
departed
into
Egypt
.
Next
morning
(
early
no
doubt
)
Herod
s●nt
to
seek
for
the
child
that
was
yesterday
dedicated
to
God
,
of
whom
such
divine
Oracles
were
publickly
delivered
.
But
neither
Parents
nor
Child
could
be
found
,
no
doubt
he
would
send
to
Bethlehem
,
&
all
places
thereabout
,
but
they
could
not
be
found
.
Then
would
he
send
for
the
wise
men
of
the
East
whom
he
had
sent
unto
Bethlehem
,
and
there
they
sound
tydings
,
that
those
wise
men
had
found
a
young
child
born
in
a
stable
,
and
laid
in
a
manger
,
instead
of
a
Cradle
,
that
they
worshipped
him
,
and
offered
gifts
unto
him
,
of
gold
,
Frankincense
and
Myrrh
,
which
when
they
had
done
,
they
departed
home
unto
their
own
Country
.
When
Herod
heard
this
he
swelled
with
rage
extreamly
,
what
have
they
mocked
me
thus
?
have
they
disappointed
me
of
my
designe
?
we
may
well
conceive
that
all
these
disappointments
in
a
matter
of
so
great
importance
,
would
blow
up
the
Tyrant
into
an
horrible
rage
.
Carnal
Polititians
have
seldome
patience
to
bear
such
disappointments
;
now
his
cruel
heart
would
put
him
upon
his
first
conceived
plot
,
when
he
privily
enquired
how
long
the
Star
had
appeared
in
the
East
,
Mat.
2.16
.
then
Herod
when
he
saw
that
he
was
mocked
of
the
wise
men
,
was
exceeding
wroth
,
and
sent
forth
,
and
slew
all
the
Children
that
were
in
Bethlehem
,
and
in
all
the
Coal's
thereof
,
from
two
years
old
and
under
,
according
to
the
time
which
he
had
diligently
enquired
of
the
wise
men
,
this
sheweth
,
he
stayed
not
long
before
he
fell
upon
this
persecution
.
The
lamentation
which
this
cruel
slaughter
raised
,
is
best
set
forth
by
the
Scripture
,
Mathew
shewing
that
it
was
a
fulfilling
of
the
Prophesy
long
ago
written
by
Jeremiah
.
Math
,
2.17
,
18.
Then
was
fulfilled
that
which
was
spoken
by
Jeremy
the
Prophet
,
saying
,
in
Ramah
was
there
a
voice
heard
,
lamentation
and
weeping
,
and
great
mourning
,
Rachel
weeping
for
her
Children
,
and
would
not
be
comforted
,
because
they
were
not
.
How
many
hundreds
if
not
thousands
of
these
Innocent
babes
were
martyred
for
the
sake
of
Jesus
Christ
,
in
that
populous
and
prolifick
Nation
,
we
cannot
tell
,
but
we
shall
know
at
the
day
of
Judgement
when
all
these
things
shall
be
opened
and
judged
by
our
Lord
Jesus
,
who
was
thus
cruelly
persecuted
by
Herod
,
it
was
Jesus
Christ
that
they
struck
at
,
though
the
blow
missed
him
,
and
fell
upon
these
innocent
babes
.
This
flight
of
Joseph
and
Mary
,
and
the
Child
Jesus
into
Egypt
,
is
to
be
numbred
among
the
great
sufferings
of
Jesus
Christ
,
and
was
occasioned
by
a
sore
and
bloody
persecution
,
he
fled
for
his
life
,
when
he
fled
from
under
Herods
Jurisdiction
he
was
forced
to
fly
from
the
Communion
of
the
Church
,
from
the
Temple
and
publick
worship
of
God
,
which
his
Father
David
had
experienced
to
be
a
very
black
cloud
,
a
bitter
distress
,
he
fled
to
Egypt
the
place
of
Israels
bondage
,
sorrow
,
and
affliction
.
Lo
now
Israel
is
in
Egypt
again
,
he
is
an
exile
from
the
Church
,
and
fled
into
the
world
to
save
his
life
.
in
this
sad
place
and
case
he
lived
,
even
so
long
as
Herod
lived
after
the
birth
of
Jesus
Christ
which
was
about
two
years
,
all
which
time
Jesus
Christ
suffered
in
his
person
,
and
he
suffered
in
his
Saints
,
Isai.
63.9
.
in
all
their
afflictions
he
was
afflicted
,
when
the
innocent
Infants
were
martyred
for
his
sake
,
he
suffered
with
them
when
their
Parents
lamented
,
when
Rachel
mourned
,
&
would
not
be
comforted
,
he
suffered
with
them
,
when
his
Parents
Joseph
and
Mary
fled
under
the
terrour
of
Herods
persecution
for
their
lives
,
he
suffered
with
them
,
and
not
only
in
their
flight
,
but
also
in
all
the
sufferings
that
followed
he
suffered
with
them
.
Yea
,
in
all
these
sufferings
he
suffered
more
then
any
,
yea
,
More
then
all
his
Saints
suffered
,
with
whom
he
was
a
co-sufferer
,
for
he
suffered
as
our
Saviour
,
Luk.
2.11
.
unto
you
is
born
a
Saviour
,
he
was
in
that
Office
from
his
birth
,
Isai.

,

unto
us
a
Son
is
born
,
unto
us
a
Son
is
given

and
the
Government
shall
be
on
his
shoulders
,
and
his
Name

be
called
wonderful

Counsellour
,
the
mighty
God
,
the
Everlasting
Father
,

Prince
●f
peace
,
&c.
&
behold
all
this
is
now
in
performing
,
for
the
Child
is
born
,
the
Son
of
David
is
given
to
the
Church
,
and
he
is
about
his
great
and
glorious
work
for
the
Redemption
of
Israel
.
he
is
no
sooner
born
,
but
he
is
a
sufferer
,
he
is
born
in
the
Office
of
a
Saviour
,
all
his
works
and
sufferings
are
Effects
of
his
Office
,
when
he
●●lfilled
the
Law
,
he
did
it
as
a
publick
person
,
our
Saviour
,
our
second
Adam
when
●e
suffered
,
he
suff●red
as
a
publick
person
,
fulfilling
the
penalty
of
the
Law
.
The
●econd
Adam
su●●ering
for
the
first
Adam
,
and
for
all
the
Elect
of
God
,
who
were
●ommitted
to
his
charge
to
deliver
them
.
All
the
obedience
of
this
person
both
●ctive
and
passive
are
pure
,
perfect
,
and
meritorious
.
The
sufferings
of
this
Child
●esus
are
not
so
much
to
be
attended
as
they
proceed
from
Herod
,
who
was
jea●●us
of
loosing
his
Kingdome
over
Judea
,
and
opposed
him
only
upon
that
account
.
But
the
suff●rings
of
Jesus
Christ
who
ever
was
the
Instrument
ther●of
,
are
upon
an
higher
account
,
viz.
to
satisfie
vindictive
justice
,
according
to
the
Covenant
that
pa●sed
betwixt
the
Father
and
the
Son
,
in
the
behalf
of
Adam
,
and
his
Elect
Seed
.
This
is
the
internal
and
spiritual
Character
of
all
the
sufferings
of
Jesus
Christ
,
even
from
his
first
Incarnarion
,
and
from
his
birth
,
his
first
entrance
into
the
Flesh
,
into
this
World
,
was
attended
with
great
sufferings
.
And
as
his
life
was
the
pretious
life
of
a
publick
person
,
so
all
his
sufferings
were
the
sufferings
of
a
publick
person
,
the
Redeemer
of
Gods
Elect.
And
this
is
to
be
noted
,
that
in
all
his
sufferings
,
he
did
attend
unto
,
follow
divine
Counsel
.
he
did
not
rashly
,
or
without
cause
or
call
,
either
expose
himself
to
danger
,
or
engage
into
any
difficulties
,
alwayes
he
attended
unto
the
command
,
and
direction
of
the
Lord
,
whatever
the
Lord
appointed
to
him
,
that
he
did
,
and
suffered
,
in
all
which
he
is
an
holy
pattern
unto
us
in
all
our
sufferings
.
And
when
we
celebrate
in
our
Sacramenatl
worship
,
the
sufferings
of
Jesus
Christ
,
we
celebrate
all
his
sufferings
,
even
from
his
first
incarnation
:
and
these
sufferings
in
his
Infancy
,
for
all
his
sufferings
are
of
the
same
kind
and
nature
.
In
this
their
flight
into
Egypt
,
and
tarrying
there
till
the
death
of
Herod
,
the
wise
over-ruling
providence
of
God
did
accomplish
two
eminent
fa●ours
for
them
1.
He
compleated
the
Mantle
which
he
drew
over
the
birth
of
Jesus
Christ
,
which
was
(
very
probably
)
some
dayes
sooner
then
the
time
of
their
compleating
the
marriage
,
in
the
sight
of
men
would
be
correspondent
unto
;
for
after
her
Conception
,
she
brought
forth
her
first
born
,
according
to
the
ordinary
time
of
of
the
life
of
man
,
and
that
was
some
distance
of
time
afore
the
strict
account
of
the
time
of
the
consummation
of
the
marriage
would
allow
,
in
which
case
,
some
observers
(
no
doubt
)
were
busying
themselves
;
but
now
they
being
sent
away
to
Egypt
and
there
abiding
till
the
death
of
Herod
,
all
memory
of
such
a
critical
observation
was
utterly
removed
out
of
the
way
.
2.
It
may
justly
be
here
enquired
how
this
poor
couple
with
their
babe
subsisted
,
in
their
long
flight
and
tarriance
from
home
,
and
that
among
strangers
in
a
strange
land
.
What
provision
had
they
for
their
sustenance
?
In
this
matter
Gods
eminent
providential
care
over
them
appeared
:
for
the
wise
men
of
the
east
offered
gold
,
frankincense
and
myrrh
,
which
were
worth
gold
in
Egypt
.
And
hereby
the
Lord
made
a
supply
of
provision
for
their
subsistence
,
to
bear
all
their
charges
,
in
this
difficult
and
chargeable
flight
.
O
what
a
sovereign
high
hand
of
God
is
here
magnified
,
to
provide
and
send
men
from
the
East
,
among
other
ends
,
to
bring
sustenance
and
provision
for
Joseph
,
Mary
and
Jesus
in
their
flight
into
Egypt
!
This
persecution
that
Herod
raised
against
Jesus
Christ
in
his
Infancy
,
was
the
first
entertainment
that
he
had
among
the
Jews
,
and
it
was
very
sharp
,
but
reached
not
his
life
,
he
had
other
things
to
do
and
accomplish
in
this
world
,
before
he
left
it
.
We
read
of
no
more
persecutions
that
he
suffered
,
until
he
entered
his
publick
Ministry
,
and
then
the
chief
Priests
,
Scribes
,
and
Pharisees
,
hypocrites
were
his
persecutors
,
and
they
did
so
malitiously
,
cunningly
,
and
effectually
follow
the
matter
,
that
they
persecuted
him
to
the
death
;
under
their
hands
he
finished
his
sufferings
in
this
life
,
which
he
came
into
the
world
to
undergoe
.

The
Return
of
Iesus
Christ
out
of

Church
of
God
.
THough
Gods
dearest
children
may
be
banished
out
of
the
Church
into
the
world
,
yet
they
have
no
quiet
and
rest
to
continue
there
.
Godly
hearts
long
for
the
enjoyment
of
Gods
presence

no
rest
in
their
souls
,
so
long
as
they
are
at
a
distance
from
the
visible
presence
of
God
.
David
is
a
lively
Type
of
all
this
,
that
Jesus
the
Son
of
David
suffered
.
Psal.
84.
per
totum
.
is
a
very
lively
description
of
the
frame
of
Davids
heart
,
in
the
time
of
his
banishment
and
flight
:
and
hereby
is
set
forth
with
what
frame
of
heart
Jesus
as
Mediator
,
and
his
parents
were
exercised
,
in
the
mournfull
time
of
their
residence
in
Egypt
,
all
which
time
,
is
a
part
of
the
suffering
times
of
Jesus
Christ
in
this
world
,
whereby
he
sanctified
such
a
condition
,
to
his
servants
,
when
he
shall
so
try
them
.
O
what
longing
desires
were
in
their
godly
hearts
to
leave
that
dead
world
,
lying
in
Egyptian
darkness
,
and
to
come
into
the
light
of
the
Lord
,
in
the
Land
of
Israel
,
Psal.
84.2
.
My
Soul
longeth
yea
even
fainteth
for
the
Courts
of
my
God
:
my
heart
and
my
flesh
cryeth
out
for
the
living
God
.
But
they
were
commanded
to
tarry
till
the
Angel
should
bring
them
word
,
and
call
them
to
return
.
Math.
2.13
,
Be
thou
there
till
I
bring
thee
word
.
They
were
commanded
to
attend
to
divine
direction
in
all
their
motions
.
It
was
a
great
help
to
their
holy
hearts
,
to
be
and
stay
in
that
dark
land
,
because
God
sent
them
thither
:
it
was
also
a
great
help
to
them
in
patient
waiting
for
deliverance
,
because
they
had
a
promise
that
deliverance
should
come
:
For
these
words
[
till
I
come
]
express
a
purpose
in
the
heart
of
the
Lord
to
come
,
who
never
faileth
to
accomplish
all
his
purposes
of
love
to
his
children
:
and
it
is
a
promise
to
tell
him
when
it
will
be
fittin●
and
safe
for
their
return
.
When
the
time
was
come
,
the
Angel
came
according
to
his
promise
,
Math.
2.19.20
.
But
when
Herod
was
dead
,
behold
an
Angel
of
the
Lord
appeared
to
Joseph
in
a
Dream
,
in
Egypt
,
saying
,
arise
and
take
the
young
child
and
his
mother
,
and
goe
into
the
Land
of
Israel
;
for
they
are
dead
that
sought
the
young
childs
life
.
This
was
done
,
Mat.
2.15
.
that
it
might
be
fulfilled
which
was
spoken
by
the
Prophet
,
Hos.
11.2
.
Out
of
Egypt
have
I
called
my
Son
.
Gods
calling
of
Israel
out
of
Egypt
,
was
a
Type
of
his
calling
his
Son
Jesus
out
of
Egypt
.
And
this
is
to
be
noted
,
that
he
sends
him
out
of
Egypt
into
the
land
of
Israel
;
out
of
that
dark
world
,
into
the
Church
where
Gods
presence
was
,
and
where
the
light
of
God
shined
,
where
the
communion
of
Saints
was
to
be
enjoyed
.
And
when
he
cometh
there
,
he
leaveth
him
to
act
according
●o
his
prudence
.
And
hereby
the
Lord
put
them
into
another
dark
and
difficult
●ryal
,
as
will
presently
appear
.
Joseph

(
gladly
no

)
this
divine
Direction

He
arose
and

the
young

went
into

Land

Vnto
what
place

him

being
warned
of
God
in
a
dream
,
he
turned
aside
into
the
parts
of
Galile
,
and
came
and
dwelt
in
a
city
●alled
Nazaret
.
This
place
the
Lord
did
appoint
for
the
place
of
the
education
●f
the
child

Galile
was
under
another
Jurisdiction
:
it
was
a
more
obscure
place
where
nobody
would
look
to
find
the
King
of
Israel
,
the
Messiah
.
It
is
called
Galile

Nazaret
was
an
obscure
place
,
out
of
which
no
body
looked
for
such
a
Branch
to
grow
and
spring
.

Good
Nathaniel
said
,
can
any
good
thing
come
out
of
Nazaret
?
And
as
this
might
be
an
inducement
to
go
thither

that
it
might
be
fulfilled
which
was
spoken
by
the
Prophets
,
and
he
shall
be

a
Nazarene

from

Thus
we
see
the

CAP.
VI
The
History
of
the
holy
life
of
Jesus
Christ
in
the
time
of
his
Child-hood
.
SO
much
for
the
History
of
Jesus
Christ
in
his
Infancy
,
and
what
sore
Persecution
he
suffered
while
he
was
an
Infant
;
which
was
prophesied
of
,
Psal.
22.9
,
10.
Thou
art
he
that
took
care
of
me
in
the
womb
,
thou
didst
make
me
hope
when
I
was
upon
my
mothers
breasts
,
I
was
cast
upon
thee
from
the
womb
;
thou
art
my
God
from
my
mothers
belly
.
The
life
of
Jesus
Christ
may
be
set
forth
in
four
Periods
,
-
1.
His
Infancy
,
of
which
we
have
already
spoken
.
-
2.
His
Childhood
,
the
history
whereof
is
recorded
,
Luk.
2.40
.
ad
51.
-
3.
His
Youth
,
the
history
whereof
is
recorded
,
Luk.
2.51
,
52.
-
4.
His
Ripe
Age
,
in
his
publick
Ministry
.
His
Childhood
is
-
1.
Described
.
ver.
40.
-
2.
Illustrated
,
by
one
particular
history
at
the
finishing
of
his
childhood
,
&
beginning
of
his
Youth
,
viz.
when
he
was
about
twelve
years
old
,
Luk.
2.41
.
ad
51.
Although
this
Instance
only
is
recorded
,
yet
no
doubt
there
were
many
more
eminent
and
observable
passages
in
his
life
.
And
why
the
Lord
hath
said
so
little
of
his
eminent
life
,
and
so
much
of
his
sufferings
and
Death
,
is
a
point
worth
searching
into
.
This
I
may
say
,
that
in
this
life
we
have
most
need
to
feed
,
meditate
upon
,
and
improve
the
Sufferings
and
death
of
Jesus
Christ
.
At
the
day
of
Judgment
,
and
in
heaven
,
we
shall
be
more
capable
to
behold
and
improve
the
history
of
the
holy
life
of
Jesus
Christ
,
and
his
heavenly
Sayings
and
Doings
.
The
Childhood
of
Jesus
Christ
is
described
by
four
things
,
-
1.
He
grew
.
-
2.
He
waxed
strong
in
Spirit
.
-
3.
He
was
filled
with
Wisdome
.
-
4.
The
Grace
of
God
was
upon
him
.
Here
behold
the
most
excellent
Child
that
ever
was
born
of
a
woman
,
a
most
high
and
glorious
pattern
for
all
good
Children
to
set
before
them
,
as
an
high
mark
to
make
towards
.
John
Baptist
was
a
famous
Child
,
he
was
conceived
by
Faith
,
as
Isaac
was
a
child
of
Prayer
,
his
birth
foretold
by
the
Angel
,
who
spake
many
and
great
things
of
him
,
Luk.
1.13
.
The
Angel
said
,
fear
not
Zacharias
,
for
thy
prayer
is
heard
,
&
thy
wife
Elizabeth
shall
bear
thee
a
Son
,
&
thou
shalt
call
his
name
John
,
and
thou
shalt
have
joy
and
gladness
,
and
many
shall
rejoyce
at
his
birth
,
for
he
shall
be
great
in
the
sight
of
the
Lord
,
and
shall
drink
neither
wine
nor
strong
drink
,
and
he
s●all
be
filled
with
the
Holy
Ghost
even
from
his
mothers
womb
,
and
many
of
the
children
of
Israel
shall
he
turn
to
the
Lord
their
God
.
And
he
shall
goe
before
him
in
the
spirit
and
power
of
Elias
,
to
turn
the
hearts
of
the
Fathers
to
the
children
,
and
the
disobedient
to
the
wisdome
of
the
just
to
make
ready
a
people
prepared
for
the
Lord
.
Lo
what
marvelous
things
are
spoken
by
the
Angel
touching
John
.
And
when
Zacharias
objected
,
and
made
difficult
to
believe
what
the
Angel
had
said
touching
his
ha●ing
a
child
,
he
gave
Zacharias
such
a
sign
,
as
made
this
matter
observable
to
all
Istael
:
for
he
was
struck
dumb
till
John
was
born
.
And
what
the
Angel
had
said
touching
his
being
filled
with
the
Holy
Ghost
from
his
mothers
womb
,
ver.
15.
was
performed
,
ver.
41
,
44.
As
soon
as
Elizabeth
heard
the
voice
of
Maryes
salutation
,
the
babe
Jo●n
leaped
in
her
womb
for
joy
.
His
birth
was
very
observable
.
At
his
Circumcision
his
fathers
dumb
tongue
was
loosed
,
and
his
mouth
opened
to
praise
the
Lord
.
And
he
was
filled
with
the
Holy
Gho●t
,
and
prophesied
both
touching
Jesus
Christ
,
and
touching
John
Baptist
,
that
he
should
goe
before
the
face
of
the
Lord
,
to
prepare
his
way
,
according
as
the
Angel
had
foretold
.
Many
more
things
are
spoken
of
him
in
this
Prophesy
:
so
famous
were
these
things
about
John
,
that
Luk.
1.66
.
All
that
heard
these
things
,
laid
them
up
in
their
hearts
saying
,
what
manner
of
child
s●●●●
this
be
?
and
the
hand
of
the
Lord
was
with
him
.
and
ver.
80.
the
child
grew
,
and
waxed
strong
in
spirit
.
Two
of
the
very
same
words
that
are
spoken
of
Jesus
Christ
Luk.
2.40
.
are
spoken
of
John
.
Behold
here
this
child
John
,
was
the
most
famous
child
(
of
a
meer
man
)
that
ever
was
brought
forth
into
the
world
.
But
notwithstanding
all
this
,
he
was
not
comparable
to
the
child
Jesus
,
as
may
be
made
to
appear
in
many
and
great
respects
;
yea
in
those
two
things
that
are
said
of
John
in
the
same
words
wherein
they
are
said
of
Jesus
,
viz.
that
he
grew
and
waxed
strong
in
spirit
,
there
is
a
wonderfull
difference
betwixt
John
and
Jesus
,
1.
John
was
a
Son
of
fallen
man
,
under
the
stain
of
Original
Sin
,
though
he
was
very
early
sanctified
,
even
in
the
womb
,
three
months
before
he
was
born
:
yet
by
nature
he
was
defiled
and
stained
with
Original
Sin
,
by
reason
of
the
just
imputation
of
the
guilt
of
Adams
sin
unto
him
:
for
thus
sin
is
propagated
from
Father
to
child
,
all
the
posterity
of
Adam
being
in
his
loins
.
The
Embrio
in
the
womb
is
not
a
Man
,
till
it
be
quickned
with
an
immortal
Soul
:
though
it
hath
principles
of
natural
growth
,
yet
till
it
be
united
and
quickned
with
an
immortal
Soul
,
it
is
not
Man
kind
,
and
the
Law
taketh
no
hold
on
it
.
And
that
the
body
is
thus
prepared
in
the
womb
,
before
the
immortal
Soul
is
creatingly
infused
into
it
,
and
united
;
doth
appear
,
(
as
I
conceive
)
in
that
law
of
God
,
Exod.
21.22
,
23.
If
a
man
strive
,
and
hurt
a
woman
with
child
,
so
that
her
fruit
depart
from
her
,
and
yet
no
mischi●f
follow
,
he
shall
be
surely
punished
according
as
the
womans
husband
will
lay
upon
him
;
and
he
shall
pay
as
the
Iudges
determine
:
but
if
mischief
follow
,
then
thou
shalt
give
life
for
life
.
See
here
,
that
a
woman
may
be
so
hurt
,
as
to
lose
her
Conception
but
it
is
not
murder
,
if
her
Conception
was
not
quickned
with
an
immortal
Soul
.
But
if
it
were
quickned
,
it
is
murder
,
and
life
must
goe
for
life
.
So
soon
therefore
as
the
conception
is
quickned
with
an
immortal
Soul
,
it
is
a
man
,
a
Son
of
Adam
,
and
now
the
Law
taketh
hold
on
him
,
vindictive
justice
doth
judge
him
guilty
of
Adams
sin
,
because
he
was
in
Adams
loins
.
Thus
is
sin
propagated
,
and
punishment
inflicted
,
he
is
punished
with
Original
sin
by
the
justice
of
the
law
.
This
was
John
Baptists
case
,
he
was
under
the
vindictive
sentence
of
the
Law
,
though
the
Holy
Ghost
soon
took
posse●sion
of
him
,
b●
the
coming
of
Jesus
unto
him
,
and
sanctified
him
,
by
uniting
him
unto
Jesus
Christ
,
and
brought
him
into
a
state
of
grace
and
salvation
by
Jesus
Christ
,
thus
it
was
with
John
,
but
it
was
far
otherwise
with
Jesus
Christ
,
for
he
was
without
sin
,
Heb.
4.15
.
though
in
other
things
he
was
a
man
like
unto
us
,
yet
in
this
point
there
was
a
great
di●ference
,
he
was
without
sin
.
2.
John
Baptist
was
begotten
after
the
ordinary
way
of
Generation
of
all
mankind
that
were
in
the
loins
of
Adam
,
by
Zacharias
and
Elizabeth
.
But
Jesus
was
conceived
by
the
Holy
Ghost
in
the
womb
of
a
Virgin
,
and
therefore
that
holy
thing
that
was
born
of
her
is
called
the
Son
of
God
.
He
was
made
und●r
the
Law
,
Gal.
4.4
.
as
a
rule
of
the
life
of
man
,
but
the
vindictive
justice
of
the
Law
had
nothing
to
say
unto
him
,
because
he
had
no
sin
,
vindictive
justice
had
no
more
to
say
to
Jesus
then
it
had
to
say
to
Adam
at
his
first
Creation
.
Adam
was
created
under
the
Law
as
a
rule
of
life
,
but
vindictive
justice
had
nothing
to
say
unto
him
,
untill
he
had
sinned
;
but
so
soon
as
he
had
sinned
,
then
the
Law
condemned
him
,
and
punished
him
.
Jesus
was
in
the
state
of
innocent
Adam
,
and
so
under
the
Law
as
a
rul●
of
life
.
but
not
in
the
state
of
fallen
Adam
,
to
be
under
sin
and
vindictive
justice
.
When
Jesus
Christ
performed
the
Office
of
a
Mediator
,
and
s●ood
as
a
publick
person
,
by
voluntary
dispensation
,
he
suffered
the
guilt
of
Adams
sin
,
and
all
our
sins
to
be
imputed
to
him
,
as
to
our
Suret●
,
he
voluntarily
submitted
to
vindictive
justice
,
to
punish
him
in
our
stead
,
but
in
his
personal
state
he
was
as
pure
from
any
stain
of
sin
,
as
Adam
was
at
his
first
Creation
,
so
that
herein
was
a
great
difference
betwixt
Jesus
and
John
.
3.
John
was
but
a
man
,
a
meer
man
,
as
other
of
mankind
be
,
but
Jesus
Christ
was
God
and
man
in
one
person
.
The
second
person
in
Trinity
did
assume
this
holy
thing
,
this
humane
nature
,
this
pure
spotless
thing
,
and
made
it
one
person
with
himself
,
a
Mystery
eternally
to
be
admired
,
and
herein
Jesus
did
infinitely
excell
John
.
4.
The
humane
nature
of
Jesus
had
the
Image
of
God
in
him
in
all
perfection
,
whereby
he
was
able
to
keep
the
Law
of
God
,
under
which
he
was
made
purely
,
perfectly
and
meritoriously
.
And
that
,
not
only
as
Adam
was
able
to
do
at
his
first
Creation
,
but
infinitely
more
excellently
,
because
he
is
God-man
.
But
it
was
far
otherwise
with
John
,
for
he
had
Gods
Image
but
in
part
,
even
so
much
as
Jesus
Christ
by
his
Spirit
through
free
grace
saw
meet
to
dispence
unto
him
,
which
though
it
was
in
greater
measure
then
other
men
,
or
Prophets
,
yet
infinitely
short
of
Jesus
Christ
,
and
he
kept
the
Law
according
to
the
measure
of
grace
and
assistance
which
he
received
from
Iesus
Christ
,
and
he
needed
a
pardon
from
Iesus
Christ
,
of
his
infirmityes
and
failings
in
his
obedience
;
and
therefore
Iohn
doth
justly
diminish
himself
in
respect
of
Iesus
Christ
,
Math.
3.11
.
whose
shoes
I
am
not
worthy
to
bear
,
Mark
.
1.7
.
whose
shooe-strings
I
am
not
worthy
to
unty
.
1.
In
the
description
of
this
holy
child
Iesus
,
the
first
thing
that
is
said
,
is
[
he
grew
]
he
was
an
Infant
young
and
tender
,
Math.
2.9
,
11.
the
young
child
,
from
Infancy
he
grew
up
to
child
hood
,
Isai.
53.2
.
he
shall
grow
up
before
him
,
in
this
Iesus
was
like
to
all
other
of
mankind
;
the
whole
humane
nature
of
Iesus
grew
,
both
body
and
Soul
;
he
grew
as
we
do
.
The
Soul
when
first
created
is
a
spiritual
creature
immediately
created
out
of
nothing
,
created
with
its
principles
in
it self
,
as
the
heavens
and
Angels
were
,
and
hence
it
is
immortal
,
yet
it
is
created
a
young
tender
little
Soul
,
fitted
for
a
young
tender
little
body
,
and
when
it
is
infused
into
the
tender
Embrio
in
the
womb
,
they
grow
together
(
I
take
boldness
thus
to
express
my
thoughts
with
submission
)
as
the
body
,
which
is
the
receptacle
of
the
Soul
,
groweth
in
bigness
and
capacity
.
So
the
Soul
groweth
with
it
,
the
matter
for
supply
of
growth
for
the
So●l
,
is
an
e●fect
of
a
creating
work
of
God
,
the
infinite
power
of
God
doth
manage
it
.
Whether
it
be
by
the
supply
of
new
spiritual
matter
,
or
rather
by
the
extension
and
acting
of
the
first
created
matter
of
the
So●l
,
man
dot●
not
k●ow
,
at
least
I
do
not
know
,
nor
am
I
able
to
resolve
it
,
but
I
rather
incline
to
think
,
that
the
young
Soul
groweth
by
extension
of
the
spiritual
matter
of
the
Soul
,
creat●d
at
the
first
infusion
of
it
,
and
not
by
addition
of
new
matter
.
Much
spiritual
matter
may
be
admirably
contracted
and
admirably
ext●nded
,
Air
tho●gh
a
gross
matter
in
comparison
of
spiritual
matter
,
may
be
much
contracted
,
and
extended
,
yea
,
fleshy
matter
may
be
ext●nded
and
contracted
exceedingly
,
as
the
womb
is
;
much
more
is
the
Soul
of
man
capable
of
extention
;
therefore
the
growth
of
young
Souls
may
be
by
an
orderly
extension
of
the
first
created
matter
of
them
,
but
it
is
performed
by
the
powerful
operation
of
the
Spirit
of
God
.
The
Soul
of
Iesus
grew
,
as
the
Souls
of
all
mankind
grow
.
The
Soul
of
Iesus
Christ
is
a
wonderful
,
great
,
and
glorious
Soul
,
the
greatest
that
ever
was
,
and
mo●t
capable
of
grace
and
glory
.
The
body
of
Iesus
grew
,
the
growth
of
the
body
is
better
known
to
us
,
perceptible
to
sense
,
and
we
know
that
the
growth
of
the
Body
is
by
addition
of
new
matter
,
which
is
food
,
the
body
of
the
Infant
in
the
womb
is
fed
by
the
navel
string
,
when
it
is
born
,
it
is
fed
by
the
mouth
,
but
this
matter
of
food
is
altered
,
digested
,
carrye
d
through
variety
of
curious
shops
of
wise
and
wonderful
operation
,
and
is
s●nt
into
every
part
of
the
body
for
its
nourishment
and
sustentation
,
this
is
a
secret
and
powerful
operation
of
God
,
above
the
reach
of
man
,
to
turn
our
food
into
blood
,
Flesh
,
Bones
,
Sinews
,
Veins
,
Arteryes
,
&c.
it
is
a
wonderful
work
of
God
above
the
skill
,
knowledge
,
or
ability
of
man
.
Again
,
to
add
a
proportionable
increase
to
every
Limb
and
part
this
is
another
wonder
in
the
ordinary
subsistence
and
sustenance
of
the
life
of
man
.
Again
,
to
increase
every
Limb
to
such
a
bigness
,
and
there
stay
,
add
no
more
increase
,
all
this
is
performed
by
the
divine
power
of
God
,
Again
,
to
sustain
the
bulk
of
the
body
by
addition
of
food
,
without
augmentation
of
any
Limb
,
or
part
of
the
body
,
this
is
another
of
the
wonderful
works
of
God
in
the
sustenance
of
the
body
of
man
.
These
particular
meditations
concerning
the
growth
of
the
body
of
man
,
and
in
the
sam●
manner
of
the
growth
of
the
body
of
Iesus
Christ
should
raise
our
hearts
to
admiration
at
the
wisdom
,
power
,
mercy
,
goodness
of
God
,
that
we
have
dayly
experience
of
,
yea
hourly
,
continually
.
And
hence
we
see
a
cogent
Argument
to
oblige
us
to
pray
and
give
thanks
alwayes
,
when
we
eat
and
drink
.
And
so
when
we
eat
at
the
Lords
Supper
;
where
our
souls
are
eminently
fed
with
spiritual
food
,
in
a
spiritual
and
wonderful
manner
,
by
outward
signs
of
eating
and
drinking
,
such
matter
of
sustenance
as
the
Lord
hath
pleased
by
his
wisdom
and
Institution
to
dispence
.
In
all
these
meditations
about
our
bodily
estate
,
sustenance
and
preservation
,
it
is
good
to
sing
with
David
,
Psal
139.13
,
14
,
15
,
16
,
17.
for
thou
hast
possessed
my
Reins
,
thou
hast
covered
me
in
my
mothers
womb
,
I
will
praise
thee
:
for
I
am
fearfully
and
wonderfully
made
,
marvellous
are
thy
works
,
and
that
my
Soul
knoweth
right
well
,
my
substance
was
not
hid
from
thee
when
I
was
made
in
secret
,
and
thine
eyes
did
se●
my
substance
,
yet
being
unperfect
,
and
in
thy
book
all
my
members
were
written
,
which
i●
continuance
were
fashioned
,
when
as
yet
there
was
none
of
them
,
how
pretious
are
thy
thoughts
unto
me
O
God
,
how
great
is
the
sum
of
them
?
It
is
an
addition
of
wonders
,
that
as
the
body
groweth
in
bigness
,
ability
and
capacity
for
the
Soul
to
act
in
,
and
by
;
so
the
Soul
grows
to
its
appointed
bigness
and
capacity
for
action
,
and
no
bigger
then
God
hath
appointed
;
the
chief
time
of
the
Souls
moral
growth
is
after
the
body
hath
done
growing
.
There
is
great
difference
of
Souls
,
though
we
see
and
know
the
increase
of
the
Body
,
but
know
not
the
wisdom
and
power
of
God
how
he
doth
perform
it
,
so
we
are
much
more
ignorant
how
the
Lord
performeth
the
growth
of
Souls
,
and
how
the
Soul
is
adapted
&
fitted
to
the
body
,
&
that
in
every
part
,
and
unto
every
purpose
;
It
is
also
wonderful
to
observe
the
different
bigness
of
Souls
with
the
adapting
of
the
body
for
the
Soul
,
it
is
better
to
say
,
the
body
is
fitted
for
the
Soul
,
then
to
say
the
Soul
is
fitted
for
the
body
,
though
both
be
true
.
Gluttons
and
drunkards
,
and
unclean
persons
,
and
lazy
,
&c.
do
spoyle
their
bodies
and
unfit
them
for
their
Souls
use
,
it
is
a
point
of
great
wisdom
to
govern
and
order
the
body
for
the
use
and
service
of
the
Soul
.
Again
,
we
may
observe
great
likeness
and
unlikeness
of
bodyes
and
Souls
,
which
cometh
to
pass
by
a
wonderful
and
powerful
operation
of
Gods
wisdom
,
the
foundation
whereof
is
laid
in
the
first
matter
of
the
body
,
and
so
in
the
created
matter
of
the
Soul
,
bodily
port
,
complection
,
features
,
gestures
,
dispositions
,
inclinations
,
&c.
are
patronimick
gifts
and
effects
.
Esther
was
a
gallant
woman
,
and
was
of
the
stock
of
Saul
,
who
was
a
gallant
man
,
none
like
him
among
all
the
people
,
and
●et
there
were
gallant
men
at
that
time
in
Israel
.
Both
body
and
Soul
of
Jesus
Christ
were
extraordinary
,
therefore
he
grew
in
a
more
eminent
and
excellent
manner
then
any
of
mankind
.
●●s
humane
nature
,
both
body
and
soul
,
were
making
fit
and
preparing
to
be
a
sacrifice
to
God
for
the
sin
of
man
.
Heb.
10.5
.
a
body
hast
thou
prepared
me
.
And
Isa.
53.10
.
thou
shalt
make
his
soul
a
sacrifice
for
sin
.
This
was
the
greatest
&
best
Sacrifice
that
ever
was
offered
up
to
God
.
Therefore
there
was
perfect
work
in
the
growth
,
governance
and
ordering
of
this
child
.
I
might
here
digress
into
the
consideration
of
the
admirable
wisdome
of
God
in
the
preparation
of
this
blessed
person
to
be
a
spotless
Lamb
,
a
fit
Sacrifice
for
sin
,
offered
to
God
for
the
sin
of
man
.
The
life
of
this
person
was
more
precious
then
any
other
of
mankind
;
yea
more
precious
then
all
the
lives
of
all
mankind
.
The
Iewish
Sacrifices
were
but
Bruits
&
vegetables
:
But
Jesus
Christ
offered
this
precious
Body
&
Soul
,
a
reasonable
Sacrifice
.
We
are
commanded
to
offer
our selves
to
God
a
reasonable
sacrifice
,
Rom.
12.1
.
for
the
mortification
of
our
sin
,
and
dedecation
of
our selves
to
the
service
of
God
:
But
Jesus
Christ
offered
himself
to
God
,
to
satisfie
vindictive
justice
for
the
offence
of
sin
.
Heb
,
9.26
.
he
hath
put
away
sin
by
the
sacrifice
of
himself
and
hath
made
an
end
of
sin
,
Dan.
9.24
.
The
second
branch
of
the
description
of
the
glorious
person
of
this
holy
Child
Jesus
,
who
was
preparing
to
be
made
a
Sacrifice
to
God
for
the
sin
of
man
,
is
expressed
in
these
words
,
[
He
waxed
strong
in
spirit
]
his
humane
nature
was
made
under
the
guidance
and
governance
of
the
Law
,
as
Adam
was
in
his
first
creation
;
that
he
might
fulfill
the
law
to
the
full
satisfaction
of
rewarding
justice
,
and
receive
the
blessed
inheritance
of
life
according
to
the
covenant
of
works
as
a
reward
of
his
meritorious
obedience
,
and
all
this
as
a
publick
person
,
a
second
Adam
;
in
which
the
first
Adam
failed
and
fell
short
.
Which
glorious
work
,
when
he
had
finished
he
was
to
offer
up
himself
to
God
,
and
dye
for
the
sin
of
Adam
and
all
the
effects
of
it
.
So
that
this
holy
child
Jesus
was
educated
and
trained
up
,
in
,
and
for
a
double
s●rvice
by
active
obed●ence
,
meritoriously
to
keep
the
law
,
and
obtain
the
life
promised
in
the
covenant
of
works
,
from
the
hand
of
rewarding
justice
:
and
by
passive
obedi●nce
,
meritoriously
to
satisfie
vindictive
justice
for
the
offence
of
man
.
That
he
might
doe
and
perform
all
this
,
as
his
humane
nature
,
both
body
and
soul
gr●w
,
and
passed
from
infancy
to
childhood
,
from
childhood
to
youth
,
and
from
youth
to
ripe
age
;
and
all
this
und●r
the
Rule
of
Obedience
to
the
law
of
God
.
So
in
the
second
place
,
it
is
said
,
[
he
waxed
strong
in
spirit
]
I
yet
see
not
but
that
I
may
adventure
to
call
the
first
of
these
his
natural
growth
▪
and
the
second
his
moral
growth
;
it
is
not
a
soul
growth
only
,
but
his
body
grew
also
in
fitness
to
be
serviceable
to
his
holy
soul
and
spirit
;
therefore
it
is
a
growth
of
the
whole
man
.
The
same
word
is
said
of
John
,
Luk.
1.80
.
but
it
must
be
under●tood
with
great
difference
,
according
as
their
persons
differed
in
eminency
.
Jo●n
grew
as
a
son
of
fallen
Adam
when
regenerated
doth
grow
.
Jesus
grew
as
the
son
of
God
,
that
touched
not
,
tasted
not
of
the
fall
of
Adam
.
But
as
Adam
in
innocency
should
ha●e
grown
,
and
much
more
eminently
,
John
grew
according
to
the
measure
of
his
capacity
.
Jesus
grew
in
a
wonderful
higher
measure
of
capacity
.
Iohn
had
the
spirit
according
to
his
measure
,
which
was
great
in
comparison
of
them
that
went
before
him
:
but
Iesus
had
the
spirit
without
measure
.
Quest.
1.
What
is
meant
by
Spirit
?
Job
.
32.8
.
there
is
a
Spirit
in
man
,
and
it
is
called
the
Spirit
of
a
man
,
Prov.
18
:
4.
he
will
hear
his
infirmity
by
a
stout
and
gallant
resolution
,
he
will
bear
any
thing
from
the
hand
of
man
,
as
we
see
our
Indians
will
,
unto
which
they
are
trained
up
from
their
Child-hood
,
and
it
is
infus●d
into
them
as
an
honourable
Character
of
a
man
of
courage
,
but
a
Spirit
wounded
by
God
who
can
bear
?
The
Spirit
of
a
man
is
that
part
of
Gods
Image
or
likeness
in
a
man
,
that
fitteth
him
for
action
,
his
Spirit
doth
exert
and
draw
him
forth
to
action
,
and
judgeth
of
his
action
,
when
he
hath
done
it
,
Job
.
32.18
.
I
am
full
of
matter
,
the
Spirit
within
me
con●traineth
me
,
Psal.
39
,
2
,
3.
my
sorrow
was
stirred
;
my
heart
was
hot
,
while
I
was
musing
the
fire
burned
,
then
spake
I
with
my
tongue
,
and
when
he
hath
acted
his
Spirit
judgeth
of
his
action
by
the
rule
,
Prov.
20.27
.
the
Spirit
of
a
man
is
the
Candle
of
the
Lord
,
searching
to
the
bottom
of
the
belly
.
The
Spirit
of
a
man
naturally
is
carnal
and
unsanctified
,
1
Thes.
5.23
.
san●tifie
you
throughout
in
body
,
Soul
,
and
Spirit
,
that
which
is
called
the
Spirit
of
a
man
is
chiefly
(
as
I
conceive
)
Conscience
,
because
conscience
constraineth
us
to
action
,
and
judgeth
of
our
action
when
it
is
done
,
by
carrying
it
to
the
Rule
,
and
glass
,
which
is
Gods
Candle
,
a
wounded
Spirit
mentioned
.
Prov.
18.14
.
is
a
wounded
Conscience
.
Zeal
is
acted
partly
in
Conscience
,
which
exerteth
action
,
Joh.
2.17
.
the
zeal
of
thy
house
hath
eaten
me
up
.
This
zealous
Spirit
maketh
a
man
devout
to
God
in
all
dutyes
of
the
first
Table
,
just
,
loving
,
and
benificent
to
man
in
all
duties
of
the
second
Table
.
Conscience
is
called
the
spirit
of
a
man
,
because
it
is
one
chief
seat
in
a
man
,
where
the
ruling
spirit
of
a
man
,
sitteth
,
abideth
and
acteth
.
The
spirit
dwelleth
in
the
whole
man
,
in
every
faculty
,
especially
in
the
Will
,
Conscience
,
and
Vnderstanding
.
All
mankind
are
secretly
acted
by
a
spirit
,
either
good
or
bad
:
the
carnal
sort
are
acted
by
the
Devils
spirit
,
Eph.
2.2
.
the
spirit
that
acteth
in
the
Children
of
Disobedience
.
Thus
it
is
ordinarily
,
though
Gods
Spirit
may
sometimes
break
in
.
yea
effectually
in
such
as
shall
be
saved
.
But
the
Godly
are
acted
by
the
good
Spirit
of
God
,
Rom.
8.11
,
13
,
14.
if
the
Spirit
dwel
in
you
,
he
shall
quicken
you
.
And
if
through
the
Spirit
,
ye
mortifie
the
deeds
of
the
flesh
.
and
as
many
as
are
led
by
the
Spirit
of
God
,
are
the
sons
of
God
.
One
chief
seat
or
residence
of
the
Spirit
of
God
,
is
the
Conscience
,
where
he
sitteth
and
overlooketh
the
understanding
the
will
,
the
affections
,
the
passions
,
and
all
the
figments
and
imaginations
.
And
hence
Conscience
chiefly
raiseth
the
spiritual
War
,
and
sets
all
grace
into
action
against
all
sin
.
The
evil
Spirit
that
ruleth
in
the
carnal
,
hath
his
chief
seat
in
imaginations
,
figments
,
affections
and
Lusts
;
and
the
smoak
of
them
blindeth
the
understanding
,
yea
and
conscience
too
;
perverteth
the
will
,
and
all
the
powers
o
the
soul
,
and
inclineth
them
to
evil
continually
:
and
by
those
doors
he
creepeth
in
,
yea
,
sometimes
breaketh
into
the
hearts
of
the
godly
.
Thus
we
see
why
Conscience
may
be
called
the
Spirit
of
a
man
,
and
so
the
Spirit
of
Iesus
,
and
of
Iohn
,
may
be
their
Conscience
in
a
good
part
.
Q.
2.
What
is
it
to
be
strong
in
spirit
?
A.
To
be
full
of
Grace
,
Zeal
and
Courage
for
God
:
so
Jesus
Christ
was
,
Joh.
2.17
.
when
he
was
eaten
up
with
Zeal
,
for
the
purity
of
Gods
house
and
instituted
Worship
.
Act.
6.10
.
Steven
was
so
full
of
the
Spirit
of
grace
and
zeal
in
conscience
for
the
Gospel
of
Jesus
Christ
,
that
none
was
able
to
gainsay
or
resist
him
,
viz.
with
Scripture
and
reason
,
but
with
rage
and
stones
about
his
ears
,
they
did
resist
him
,
till
they
had
killed
this
blessed
Martyr
.
Jesus
was
strong
in
grace
and
zeal
,
and
as
he
grew
in
years
,
and
as
his
humane
nature
grew
in
capacity
,
so
this
Spirit
grew
in
him
,
strong
in
Spirit
,
the
word
which
the
Holy
Ghost
useth
,
signifieth
a
growing
in
strength
,
as
the
word
is
used
,
1
Cor.
16.13
.
quit
you
like
men
and
be
strong
,
&c.
very
fully
is
it
expressed
in
that
Text
,
Eph.
3.16
.
that
he
would
grant
you
according
to
the
riches
of
his
glory
,
to
be
strengthened
with
might
by
his
Spirit
in
the
inner
man
,
and
thus
did
this
blessed
child
Jesus
wax
strong
in
Spirit
,
in
his
Child-hood
he
grew
up
to
be
a
mighty
,
powerful
,
gracious
,
zealous
child
.

The
third
branch
of
the
description
of
this
holy
child
Jesus
,
is
in
these
words
,
(
filled
with
wisdome

wisdom
is
that
part
of

whereby
he
is
capable

furnished
with

and
unders●anding
,
to
be
furnished
with
all
the
intellectual
virtues
,
and
that
not
onl●
in
knowing
the
rules
of
Art
,
but
especially
the
Rules
of
R●ligion
in
the
knowledge
of
the
Scriptures

the

partly
to
be
that
visible
port
and
outward
carriage
,
the
demeanour
of
his
person
in
his
conversing
with
men
.
This
outward
grace
is
that
part
of
Gods
Image
,
which
shineth
in
the
gravity
and
Authority
of
his
port
,
gestures
and
actions
,
which

even
from

in
all
humane
excellencies
&
perfections
:
never
any
man
like
him
,
all
his
actions
from
a
child
were
pure
and
perfect
,
in
them
all
he
acted
as
a
publick
person
.
He
was
born
a
Saviour
,
and
was
at
no
time
devested
of
that
office
.
He
perfectly
fulfilled
the
Law
in
all
the
duties
of
childhood
:
never
had
the
world
such
a
child
in
it
.
Yet
here
was
passive
obedience
also
in
all
this
,
in
many
respects
:
all
his
glory
was
vailed
from
the
worlds
eye
,
by
a
poor
,
obscure
low
condition
.
Here
might
be
great
instruction
both
to

,
to
all
Believers
,
yea
,
and
to
all
the
enemies
and
dispisers
of

I
will

to
the

CAP.

.
The
History
of
one
famous
Act
of
Wisdome
and
Grace
which
Jesus
Christ
did
at
twelve
years
of
age
.
Luk.
2.42
.
ad
51.
AND
when
he
was
twelve
years
old
,
they
went
up
to
Jerusalem
,
after
the
custom
of
the
feast
.
And
when
they
had
fulfilled
the
dayes
,
as
they
returned
,
the
child
Jesus
tarried
behind
in
Ierusalem
,
and
Joseph
and
his
Mother
knew
not
of
it
.
But
they
supposing
him
to
have
been
in
the
company
,
went
a
dayes
journey
,
and
they
sought
him
among
their
kinsfolk
and
acquaintance
.
And
when
they
found
him
not
,
they
turned
back
again
to
Ierusalem
,
seeking
him
.
And
it
came
to
pass
,
that
after
three
dayes
,
they
found
him
in
the
temple
,
sitting
in
the
midst
of
the
Doctors
,
both
hearing
them
,
and
asking
them
Questions
.
And
all
that
heard
him
,
were
astonished
at
his
understanding
and
Answers
.
And
when
they
saw
him
;
they
were
amazed
:
and
his
Mother
said
unto
him
.
Son
,
why
hast
thou
thus
dealt
with
us
?
behold
,
thy
father
and
I
have
sought
thee
,
sorrowing
.
And
he
said
unto
them
,
How
is
it
that
ye
sought
me
?
wist
ye
not
that
I
must
be
about
my
Fathers
business
?
And
they
understood
not
the
saying
which
he
spake
unto
them
.
In
this
History
we
may
observe
diverse
weighty
things
:
1.
The
time
of
it
;
when
he
was
about
twelve
years
old
:
an
admirable
specimen
of
the
grace
of
God
in
him
.
The
grace
of
Christ
hath
eminently
shined
to
many
children
,
especially
in
John
Baptist
in
a
most
remarkable
manner
.
Gods
Grace
hath
shined
in
sundry
of
our
youth
and
children
,
yea
,
in
some
of
our
Indian
children
since
their
praying
to
God
;
by
which
experiences
,
this
history
touching
this
blessed
child
Jesus
is
rendred
possible
.
It
is
a
Scripture
Record
,
and
it
were
great
unbelief
to
doubt
of
it
.
The
Lord
hath
given
us
this
history
for
the
encouragement
both
of
Parents
and
children
,
to
take
pains
with
them
betimes
,
to
train
them
up
in
the
knowledge
of
the
Scriptures
from
a
child
.
as
Timothy
was
by
his
godly
mother
&
Grand-mother
.
2.
Tim.
1.5
.
&
3.15
.
No
doubt
this
holy
child
Jesus
did
in
his
child-hood
utter
many
gracious
words
,
and
did
many
gracious
actions
;
but
it
hath
pleased
God
to
record
only
this
one
,
for
the
use
of
the
Church
in
this
world
,
and
hath
covered
all
the
rest
with
the
mantle
of
silence
.
God
saw
in
his
holy
wisdome
,
that
the
lustre
of
this
one
act
was
enough
to
shine
out
:
the
rest
are
reserved
to
be
opened
,
and
admired
at
the
day
of
Judgment
,
and
in
heaven
to
●ll
eternity
.
2.
We
see
the
religious
conversation
and
practice
of
the
godly
in
their
perso●al
attendance
upon
the
publick
worship
of
God
,
according
to
his
divine
institu●ions
.
We
see
also
their
religious
and
carefull
education
of
their
children
and
●outh
,
to
go
with
them
,
and
attend
upon
the
publick
worship
of
God
,
to
be
acquainted
with
it
,
and
accustomed
to
attend
upon
it
,
even
from
their
childhood
;
as
Hannah
did
by
Samuel
,
1
Sam.
1.24
.
which
greatly
condemneth
the
practice
of
some
in
our
dayes
,
who
seldome
bring
forth
their
children
to
the
publick
worship
of
God
.
I
have
heard
of
some
children
of
twelve
yeers
old
,
that
never
were
present
at
a
publick
Sabbath
worship
of
God
;
they
know
not
what
it
is
;
such
as
live
in
dark
places
,
in
the
out-skirts
of
the
land
,
know
little
or
nothing
of
Religion
,
of
the
service
and
worship
of
God
.
3.
Here
is
to
be
noted
the
time
of
their
returning
home
,
viz.
when
they
had
fulfilled
the
dayes
,
and
●inished
the
service
and
worship
which
God
commanded
;
none
of
them
stipped
out
,
and
got
away
to
run
home
before
the
worship
of
God
was
finished
,
as
too
many
of
our
people
,
especially
our
●outh
are
too
frequently
wont
to
doe
.
The
Parents
of
Jesus
staid
till
all
was
finished
,
and
the
child
stayed
with
them
.
It
was
their
con●tant
custome
so
to
doe
.
O
how
good
it
is
to
uphold
a
con●tant
,
reverent
waiting
upon
the
Lord
with
godly
fear
;
for
our
God
is
a
consuming
fire
.
Children
must
be
trained
up
to
serve
God
with
reverence
and
fear
.
4.
See
the
godly
Zeal
of
this
holy
child
Jesus
,
for
when
the
publick
in●tituted
worship
was
finished
,
he
was
not
weary
and
hasty
to
be
gone
,
glad
to
be
out
of
the
yoke
of
the
service
of
God
;
it
was
not
a
weariness
to
him
,
as
too
often
it
is
to
us
:
yea
not
only
to
children
,
but
to
elder
persons
;
both
men
and
women
are
too
full
of
this
infirmity
:
tyred
and
weary
of
the
service
,
glad
to
be
gone
.
It
was
not
so
with
Jesus
;
for
when
he
might
have
been
gone
with
his
parents
,
when
they
went
away
after
the
worship
was
finished
,
yet
he
stayed
behind
them
.
And
where
stayed
he
?
not
in
any
common
place
or
vain
company
,
nor
in
any
vain
sports
and
pleasures
,
but
he
stayed
in
the
temple
,
he
went
to
the
place
of
the
education
of
youth
,
into
the
Schools
of
instruction
of
youth
.
A
rare
example
for
a
child
so
to
doe
.
Too
many
of
our
youth
will
stay
behind
their
parents
,
and
will
not
goe
home
in
their
company
:
but
what
stay
they
about
?
for
no
good
,
but
for
sport
and
pleasure
:
and
where
stay
they
?
sometimes
in
common
places
,
sometimes
in
profane
places
,
in
taverns
,
or
other
places
where
profane
persons
resort
,
where
they
may
serve
their
pleasures
and
lusts
,
wherein
they
take
more
delight
then
in
the
service
of
God
.
O
youth
,
youth
,
learn
of
this
holy
child
Jesus
,
if
you
stay
behind
your
Parents
,
or
if
you
go
not
home
to
your
Parents
,
let
your
tarryance
be
in
the
Temple
,
or
in
some
service
of
God
,
or
where
you
may
do
or
receive
some
good
!
5.
Here
see
his
Parents
vigilant
,
diligent
,
and
solicitous
care
of
their
Child
when
they
missed
him
in
their
company
,
they
went
on
the
first
dayes
journy
hoping
that
he
was
in
the
company
of
some
of
their
kindred
,
or
neighbours
,
and
acquaintance
,
for
they
knew
that
he
was
civil
,
sociable
and
courteous
;
but
at
night
,
at
that
first
dayes
journeys
end
,
they
searched
for
him
,
inquired
of
all
the
Company
,
they
could
hear
no
tidings
of
him
,
none
of
them
had
seen
him
any
where
in
the
way
.
Now
are
they
filled
with
sorrow
,
no
quiet
rest
could
they
take
that
night
,
up
they
rise
in
the
morning
,
back
again
they
go
,
enquiring
of
all
they
meet
,
seeking
every
where
for
him
,
but
no
tydings
could
they
hear
of
him
.
That
night
they
got
back
to
Jerusalem
,
and
still
can
hear
no
tydings
of
him
:
the
longer
they
seek
,
the
greater
their
sorrows
,
and
less
rest
could
they
take
that
night
,
a
good
pattern
to
all
Parents
diligently
to
look
after
their
Children
,
when
they
are
missing
,
and
a
great
blame
it
is
to
such
Parents
as
suffer
their
Children
to
go
and
come
,
whether
and
when
they
will
.
6.
Here
see
the
time
and
place
of
their
finding
him
,
on
the
third
day
of
their
seeking
for
him
,
they
enquired
no
doubt
,
of
all
their
friends
and
acquaintance
in
the
City
where
they
used
to
resort
,
but
could
h●ar
no
tydings
of
him
,
which
still
augmented
their
sorrow
,
at
last
it
came
into
their
minds
to
go
to
the
Temple
,
and
seek
for
him
there
,
it
is
much
that
they
made
that
the
last
place
of
their
enquiry
for
him
.
But
God
had
wise
and
holy
ends
in
ordering
and
over-ruling
their
motions
to
be
as
they
were
:
when
they
came
to
the
Temple
they
soon
found
him
there
,
the
Temple
was
his
Fathers
house
,
Joh.
2.16
.
and
what
place
could
they
seek
to
find
the
Son
in
,
more
likely
then
in
his
Fathers
house
?
there
they
find
him
.
And
what
employment
did
they
find
him
about
,
in
his
Fathers
house
?
They
found
him
in
the
place
of
Education
and
Instruction
of
youth
,
in
the
knowledge
of
the
Scriptures
and
Religion
,
a
very
meet
place
&
employment
for
a
godly
religious
wise
child
,
and
an
eminent
example
to
all
youth
,
to
go
of
his
own
accord
unto
the
Schools
,
where
he
might
learn
Instruction
in
the
knowledge
of
God
and
of
the
Scriptures
.
It
is
far
otherwise
with
too
many
of
our
youth
,
who
when
they
are
missing
,
must
be
sought
for
in
Taverns
,
Ordinaryes
,
or
such
like
places
of
sin
,
vanity
,
and
profaneness
.
7.
Here
we
see
how
the
School
Exercises
were
managed
,
in
training
up
of
●outh
.
1.
They
had
Doctors
,
Tutors
,
or
Teachers
of
the
Scholars
,
who
had
seats
in
the
Schools
on
each
side
,
higher
than
the
rest
.
2.
At
the
bottom
or
foot
of
those
seats
of
the
Doctors
,
there
were
lo●er
seats
for
the
Scholars
,
hearers
,
and
learners
,
hence
it
is
said
,
A
t.
22.3
.
that
Paul
was
brought
up
at
the
feet
of
Gamaliel
,
where
he
was
taught
according
to
the
perfect
manner
of
the
Law
of
the
Fathers
,
according
to
which
pattern
the
meeting
places
of
the
Gospel
Churches
were
ordered
for
Act.
4.37
.
the
place
for
the
Church
Treasury
,
to
be
brought
unto
was
at
the
Apo●tles
feet
,
&
there
the
Deacons
had
their
place
,
who
gathered
the
Contributions
of
the
Church
,
unto
the
Lords
Treasury
in
the
Church
3.
The
Doctors
taught
and
examined
their
Schools
,
by
proposing
such
questions
to
them
,
as
they
thought
meet
,
for
their
In●truction
,
and
unto
these
questions
of
the
Doctors
,
the
Scholars
were
to
make
answer
.
4.
In
due
time
&
order
the
Scholars
had
leave
&
liberty
to
propound
questions
to
the
Doctors
;
unto
which
they
gave
answer
for
the
Instruction
of
their
Scholars
.
8.
Here
we
see
how
Jesus
behaved
himself
,
and
managed
his
Fathers
business
among
them
in
the
Schools
.
1.
When
it
was
his
turn
in
order
to
answer
to
the
question
proposed
,
he
answered
the
question
with
such
understanding
as
made
them
to
admire
,
that
word
Prov.
24.26
.
was
verified
in
him
,
every
man
shall
kiss
his
lips
,
that
giveth
a
right
answer
.
and
Prov.
20.15
.
the
lips
of
knowledge
are
pretious
jewels
,
and
Prov.
15.23
.
a
man
hath
joy
by
the
answer
of
his
mouth
,
and
a
word
spoken
in
due
season
how
good
is
it
?
2.
When
it
was
his
turn
to
ask
and
propound
questions
,
he
did
propound
such
questions
as
did
amaze
them
.
How
they
could
,
or
did
answer
them
,
it
is
not
said
,
all
that
is
said
,
is
Luk.
2.49
.
all
that
heard
him
were
astonished
at
his
under●tanding
and
answers
,
it
is
a
good
point
of
understanding
to
ask
a
wise
question
.
In
this
place
,
and
in
this
employment
his
Parents
found
him
.
9.
When
the
Exercise
was
ended
,
(
for
they
did
not
,
they
might
not
be
so
rude
as
to
interrupt
them
)
his
parents
took
him
into
their
Company
,
and
when
the
season
was
fit
,
they
expostulated
with
him
,
for
sta●ing
behind
,
and
putting
them
to
so
much
sorrow
,
pains
,
and
trouble
.
To
which
he
humbly
with
meekness
answered
,
that
he
was
about
his
Fathers
business
,
he
doth
with
gentle
modesty
check
their
check
with
an
expostulation
,
why
did
you
give
your selves
so
much
trouble
,
so
sorrowfully
to
seek
me
?
did
you
not
consider
?
if
you
did
not
,
you
might
have
considered
,
that
I
must
do
my
Fathers
business
,
viz.
to
perform
the
office
and
duty
of
a
Mediator
,
and
this
is
one
part
of
the
work
of
the
Office
of
a
Prophet
,
to
raise
up
and
train
up
of
the
Sons
of
Israel
;
to
be
Prophets
and
to
be
Nazarets
,
his
Parents
understood
not
his
discourse
,
but
his
mother
did
lay
up
his
sayings
in
her
heart
;
and
well
she
might
,
for
she
knew
that
Joseph
whom
he
called
Father
had
no
business
for
him
to
do
in
the
Schools
,
and
she
perfectly
knew
that
he
had
no
earthly
Father
,
God
only
was
his
Father
,
and
therefore
it
was
Gods
business
that
he
w●●
about
.
I
am
loth
to
pass
over
this
famous
History
,
without
taking
some
notice
of
this
great
duty
of
our
Generation
work
,
in
training
up
of
youth
in
Religion
and
learning
,
to
fit
them
for
the
service
of
God
,
and
the
publick
benefit
of
mankind
,
both
in
Families
,
Church
,
and
common-wealth
,
all
sorts
and
orders
of
men
are
bound
to
attend
unto
this
great
and
necessary
Generation
work
.
And
we
of
New-England
a●e
more
obliged
to
it
then
any
other
,
in
some
respects
,
especially
,
because
it
was
one
of
the
chief
motives
and
ends
of
our
designe
in
leaving
of
our
native
soile
,
Relations
,
callings
,
friends
,
and
hopes
for
worldly
Estates
,
adventuring
our
all
into
the
hands
of
Gods
providence
,
to
pass
over
the
vast
C●ean
into
a
wilderness
,
a
land
not
sowen
,
to
enjoy
the
liberties
of
Gods
house
and
Ordinances
,
and
instituted
worship
for
our selves
,
and
our
posterity
.
And
to
train
up
our
Generarions
under
these
enjoyments
and
improvements
,
to
be
holy
Churches
of
Jesus
Christ
,
trained
up
in
his
School
for
his
service
,
honour
,
and
praise
,
which
cannot
be
performed
by
any
ordinary
means
save
by
Schools
.
Though
we
have
great
cause
to
praise
God
for
our
Schools
,
and
the
great
blessing
that
all
the
Land
doth
enjoy
thereby
.
Yea
,
and
some
returns
we
have
made
to
our
mother
England
,
of
our
Children
trained
up
here
,
in
the
nurture
and
admonition
of
the
Lord
.
Yet
we
have
great
cause
,
especially
of
late
years
to
abase
our selves
before
the
Lord
for
our
great
neglects
and
remissness
,
in
the
p●rformance
of
our
purposes
and
vows
to
God
in
this
particular
;
we
doat
upon
our
children
,
and
do
not
indure
that
due
christian
severit●
to
be
exercised
in
their
Education
;
as
the
fallen
Estate
of
mankind
,
doth
necessarily
require
and
call
for
.
Pagan
Rome
and
Greece
will
,
in
some
respects
,
concerning
grave
and
severe
Education
of
youth
,
rise
up
in
judgement
against
our
reforming
Churches
,
who
are
far
more
advantaged
than
they
were
to
the
performance
of
this
great
generation
work
.
Yet
are
we
much
more
failing
therein
,
than
they
were
,
we
do
know
that
the
long
duration
of
their
flourishing
state
,
did
spring
and
grow
in
this
garden
of
severe
Education
of
posterity
of
all
sorts
of
youth
,
which
blessing
is
founded
and
promised
in
the
fifth
Commandment
.
We
do
already
plainly
see
,
that
the
degeneracy
and
ruine
of
our
reformed
Churches
springeth
up
,
yea
cometh
upon
us
like
a
raging
flood
,
out
of
this
neglected
garden
,
the
want
of
due
and
prudent
severity
in
the
education
of
our
youth
We
have
all
Scripture
light
strongly
ingageing
of
us
to
this
duty
:

shall
only
intimate

But
continue

of

thou
hast
learned

.
And
that
from
a
child
thou
hast
known
the
holy
Scriptures
,
which
are
able
to
make
thee
wise
unto
salvation
,
through
faith
which
is
in
Christ
Jesus
.
All
Scripture
is
given
by
inspiration
of
God
,
and
is
profitable
for
doctrine
,
for
reproof
,
for
correction
,
for
instruction
in
righteousness
,
that
the
man
of
God
may
be
perfect

unto
all
good
works

your

that
thou
shouldest
enter
into

into

which
the
Lord
thy

with

That
he

establish
thee

and
as
he
hath
sworn
unto
thy
Fathers
,
to
Abraham
,
to

,
and
to

Neither
with
you
only
doe
I
make
this
Covenant
,
and
this
oath
:
but
with
him
that
standeth
here
with
us
this
day
,
before
the
Lord
our
God
;
and
also
with
him
that

And
the
rest
of
the
people
,
the
priests
,
the
Levites
,
the
porters
,
the
singers
,
the
Nethinims
,
and
all
they
that
had
seperated
themselves
from
the
people
of
the
lands
,
unto
the
Law
of
God
;
their
wives
,
their
sons
and
their
daughters
,
every
one
having
knowledg
and
having
understanding
.
To
train
up
our
children
to
worship
God
with
Reverence
and
godly
fear
,
is
a
powerfull
curb
,
restraint
and
correction
of
that
natural
enmity
that
is
in
their
heart
against
God
,
and
against
his
holy
law
.
It
suppresseth
the
natural
habits
,
and
permitteth
not
the
irritation
of
corruption
to
be
stirred
up
:
it
quencheth
the
burning
of
all
such
sparks
:
it
chaseth
away
the
foolishness
that
is
bound
up
in
the
heart
:
it
habituates
the
soul
in
a
principle
of
hatred
against
sin
:
it
inureth
them
into
shame
and
sorrow
for
sin
,
which
is
so
contrary
to
the
law
of
God
,
and
all
religion
,
and
holy
worship
of
God
:
it
layeth
in
,
yea
storeth
the
soul
with
principles
and
habits
of
virtue
,
which
will
never
wear
out
,
nor
be
forgotten
;
because
he
hath
been
so
taught
and
practised
from
a
child
.
Such
religious
education
of
Children
doth
greatly
dispose
&
prepare
their
hearts
for
the
special
work
of
the
Spirit
,
un●o
their
conversion
,
they
being
alwayes
trained
up
within
the
walk
of
the
Spirit
;
such
religious
education
doth
principle
them
to
be
ready
for
any
service
of
God
in
their
generation
.
The
first
impressions
that
are
strongly
made
upon
the
tender
souls
of
children
,
will
never
wear
out
.
Quo
semel
est
imbuta
recens
servabit
odorem
Testa
diu
It
is
a
very
false
and
pernicious
principle
,
that
many
people
and
parents
are
tainted
with
,
viz.
that
youth
must
be
suffered
a
while
to
take
their
swinge
,
and
sowe
their
wild
oates
;
to
travail
into
the
world
,
to
follow
the
fashions
,
company
,
and
manners
of
the
times
,
hoping
they
will
be
wiser
hereafter
.
O
false
principle
God
speaks
fully
to
the
contrary
.
Prov.
19.18
.
Chasten
thy
Son
while
there
is
hope
,
and
let
not
thy
soul
spare
for
his
crying
.
Prov.
13.24
.
He
that
spareth
the
rod
,
hateth
his
son
,
but
he
that
loveth
him
,
chasteneth
him
betimes
.
The
gentle
rod
of
the
mother
,
is
a
very
soft
and
gentle
thing
,
it
will
break
neither
bone
nor
skin
:
yet
by
the
blessing
of
God
with
it
,
and
upon
the
wise
application
of
it
:
it
would
break
the
bond
that
bindeth
up
corruption
in
the
heart
.
Prov.
22.15
.
Yea
yet
greater
is
the
power
of
this
gentle
thing
,
Prov
,
23.13.14
.
withold
not
correction
from
the
child
,
for
if
thou
beatest
him
with
the
rod
,
he
shall
not
dye
,
thou
shalt
beat
him
with
the
rod
,
and
shalt
deliver
his
soul
from
hell
.
The
after
welfare
of
our
children
de●endeth
very
much
upon
their
education
.
We
want
not
experiences
of
both
ds
;
some
we
have
can
never
get
rid
of
the
stains
of
their
youth
.

heart
pincheth

Thou

things

youth
.
We
often
find
the
good
effects
of
holy
and
severe
education
,
of
which
Timothy
is
a
noted
example
.
We
have
experienced
that
text
Amos.
2.11
.
I
raised
up
of
your
sons
to
be
prophets
,
and
of
your
young
men
for
Nazarites
,
is
it
not
even
so
O
ye
children
of
Israel
saith
the
Lord
?
and
is
it
not
so
with
us
,
O
New-England
!
but
the
Reproof
that
followeth

we
have
too
sadly
experienced
,
But
ye
have
given
them
wine
to
drink
,
is
it
not
so
,
O
New-England
!
This
is
a
lamentation
,
and
will
be
for
a
lamentation
,
if
it

The
History
of
the
Conversation
of
Jesus
Christ
all
the
time
of
his
Youth

.
AND
he
went
down
with
them
,
and
came
to
Nazaret
,
and
was
subje●t
unto
them
,
and
Jesus
increased
in
wisdome
,
and
stature
,
and
favour
with
God
and
man
.
These
few
words
are
an
Epitome
of
an
Hi●tory
of
eighteen
●ears
.
●he
above-named
famous
history
of
what
Jesus
did
when
he
was
about
twelve
years
old
,
was
the
shutting
up
of
the
period
of
his
child-hood
,
and
the
beginning
of
his
youth
:
all
that
is
said
of
this
period
of
his
youth
,
is
expressed
in
these
few
words
in
this
text
,
and
we
hear
no
more
of
him
till
he
was
about
thirty
years
old
,
&
then
he
began
to
enter
upon
his
publick
Ministry
,
beginning
with
Fa●●ing
and
Prayer
,
&
temptation
,
Luk.
3.23
.
with
41.
&c.
and
from
that
time
forward
to
his
d●ath
,
all
the
Evangelists
do
give
the
history
of
his
doings
&
sufferings
.
The
course
of
his
holy
life
from
twelve
years
old
,
to
thirty
,
is
wholly
covered
in
silence
,
save
what
is
said
in
these
two
Verses
,
wherein
there
be
six
things
spoken
of
him
,
1.
He
went
down
with
them
,
he
had
come
up
with
them
unto
the
Temple
to
attend
the
publick
worship
of
God
,
and
now
he
returneth
home
again
in
his
parents
company
.
It
is
a
spiritual
comfort
to
godly
parents
,
when
they
appear
before
God
.
to
say
as
Isai.
8.18
.
Behold
here
am
I
,
and
the
children
which
the
Lord
hath
given
me
.
And
when
the
worship
is
finished
,
the
Parents
and
the
Children
return
home
together
.
Good
Children
will
refuse
vain
company
,
vanities
and
play
,
to
keep
company
with
their
godly
parents
.
Godly
youth
will
chiefly
prize
and
rather
chuse
the
desirable
company
of
their
good
parents
,
as
being
according
to
the
commandment
of
God
,
and
the
holy
pattern
that
our
Saviour
Jesus
Christ
hath
set
us
.
Once
we
see
that
he
tarried
behind
them
;
but
we
also
see
what
a
good
Apology
he
had
for
it
;
because
he
was
about
his
heavenly
Fathers
business
.
according
to
this
instance
was
his
,
and
his
Parents
practise
all
his
dayes
.
From
this
time
forward
for
eighteen
years
did
they
thus
walk
.
Order
is
comely
in
Gods
eyes
,
and
becometh
Gods
House
and
Worship
:
in
such
order
did
they
constantly
walk
with
God
.
Hereby
Jesus
Christ
did
fullfill
perfectly
all
the
laws
of
God
,
touching
his
orderly
attendance
unto
the
instituted
worship
of
God
.
Such
a
divine
beauty
and
lustre
was
upon
the
reverent
,
orderly
and
religious
attendance
of
Jesus
Christ
upon
the
publick
worship
of
God
,
that
it
was
an
high
honour
to
the
Temple
,
for
him
to
appear
in
it
,
and
to
worship
God
there
.
Such
an
honour
and
glory
,
as
made
this
second
Temple
to
excell
the
first
Temple
,
though
in
many
other
respects
it
was
inferiour
to
it
.

Host
:
the
glory
of
this
latter
house
shall
be
greater
then
of
the
former
saith
the
Lord
of
Hosts
.
The
holy
obedience
and
worship
of
this
glorious
person
,
did
beautifie
and
illustrate
the
Temple
,
and
all
the
instituted
worship
of
God
,
which
was
there
performed
.
this
Person
brought
more
glory
to
the
Temple
then
all
the
Ceremonyes
,
of
which
he
was
the
substance
,
and
they
were
but
t●e
shadows
.
In
all
this
period
of
the
middle
age
of
his
life
,
the
Lord
Jesus
did
fullfill
the
law
of
God
,
with
his
pure
perfect
and
meritorious
obedience
:
never
was
the
Law
of
God
so
obeyed
and
fullfilled
,
as
it
was
by
this
glorious
Person
.
2.
He
came
to
Nazaret
,
the
place
of
his
education
and
Humiliation
all
his
dayes
,
untill
he
entred
upon
his
publick
Ministry
.
He
is
after
called
the
Branch
,
in
the
Old
Testament
,
with
reference
to
his
habitation
in
this
city
,
which
hath
its
name
from
that
word
,
and
in
the
New-Testament
,
he
is
called
Jesus
of

we
see
how
exa●●ly

the
Lord
was
to
fulfil
the
Scriptures

He
was
subject
unto
his
Parents

Greek
is
Emphatical
in
three
words
,
(
he
was
)
that
is
the
habit
,
bent
,
way
,
and
set
of
his
heart
was
to
be
subject
to
his
Parents
according
to
the
fifth
Commandment
,
he
perfectly
fulfilled
the
fifth
Command
,
it
was
never
so
kept
and
fulfilled
as
he
kept
it
,
his
heart
was
unto
his
duty
,
which
he
performed
without
any
failure
or
swerving
either
in
thought
,
look
,
gesture
,
word
or
deed
.
The
second
word
is
(
subjecting
)
viz.
alwayes
and
upon
all
occasions
,
he
acted
subjection
in
all
kinds
,
and
in
all
things
,
he
acted
the
perfect
duty
of
a
child
,
without
the
least
spot
or
stain
.
The
third
word
(
to
them
)
to
both
his
Parents
Father
and
mother
,
according
as
order
and
the
rule
called
for
it
.
In
Childhood
the
child
is
oftenest
in
the
mothers
bosome
,
in
youth
he
is
oftenest
at
Fathers
hand
,
in
all
cases
he
acted
subjection
and
obedience
perfectly
,
they
never
pro●oked
him
,
for
he
had
nothing
in
him
was
capable
to
be
provoked
,
when
the
Devil
came
to
t●mpt
he
found
nothing
in
him
capable
to
entertain
a
temptation
,

much
l●ss
did
his
Parents
ever
provoke
him
,
nor
did
he
ever
provoke
them
,
they
had
in-dwelling
sin
in
them
,
though
he
had
not
,
and
though
they
had
,
he
never
provoked
them
,
nor
drew
out
their
corruption
to
act
,
O
what
a

no
doubt
he
often
stirred
up
and
provoked
his
Parents
to
holiness
,
virtue
,
and
all
good
works
that
they
were
capable
to

he

this

and
he

So
did
Jesus
alwayes
,
if
his

he
came
,
if
she
said

his
subjection

obedience

And
also
that
he
was
not

he
laboured
in
his
Fathers

,
and
all
this
was
pure
and
perfect
obedience
to
the
Law
of
God
.
Reverence
to
parents
is
a
part
of
subjection
to
them
,
and
therefore
that
also
is
comprehended
in
this
word
,
he
was
subject
to
them
.

matter

is
chiefly
the

that
is
the
book
above

,
to
train
up

in
the
knowledge
thereof
,
as

The
next
book
to
that
is
the
book
of
Gods
creatures
,
the
works
of
God
,
where
all
the
liberal
Arts
are
to
be
found
and

.
And
the
next
books
are
the
books
,
labours
,
and
works
of
learned
men
,
and
especially
of
holy
men
,
who
lay
open
the
Treasures
of
wisdome
and
knowledge
,
which
are
laid
up
in
Jesus
Christ
,
laid
out
,
displayed

and
revealed
in
the
Scriptures
,
and
explained
to
our
Capacityes
in
the
Books
and
labours
of
holy
and
learned
men
.
That
Jesus
according
to
his
humane
nature
increased
in
wisdome
,
is
here
testifyed
of
him
,
as
his
body
and
Soul
grew
in
capacity
to
receive
more
and
more
addition
of
wisdome
,
so
the
Hol●
Ghost
filled
him
more
and
more
with
wisdome
,
when
he
was
a
Child
he
was
filled
with
wisdome
,
Luk.
2.40
.
according
to
the
measure
of
his
capacity
,
and
as
he
grew
up
,
his
virtue
was
more
and
more
exerted
,
and
he
was
still
more
and
more
filled
and
increased
in
wisdome
.
Jesus
was
full
of
grace
,
and
as
the
habits
were
drawn
out
by
new
Objects
into
act
,
so
his
wisdome
increased
.
The
means
that
Jesus
Christ
us●d
,
were
those
above
named
,
Luk.
2.46
.
he
was
among
the
Doctors
,
both
hearing
them
,
and
asking
them
questions
.
And
no
doubt
,
such
as
taught
in
the
Synagogues
where
he
lived
,
had
him
to
be
their
frequent
,
if
not
constant
hearer
.
And
that
Jesus
did
read
the
Scriptures
,
there
is
no
doubt
to
be
made
of
it
,
because
he
hath
commanded
us
to
search
the
Scriptures
;
wherein
he
was
so
expert
,
that
Luk.
24.27
.
beginning
at
Moses
and
all
the
Prophets
,
he
expounded
to
them
in
all
the
Scriptures
,
the
things
concerning
himself
.
That
Jesus
meditated
and
prayed
,
which
are
two
exercises
of
the
Soul
,
so
neer
of
kind
,
that
they
are
seldome
asunder
:
especially
when
we
meditate
on
Religion
&
the
Scriptures
And
how
abundant
our
Lord
Jesus
was
in
prayer
,
is
greatly
witnessed
in
the
Gospels
.
Thus
Jesus
Christ
hath
set
a
pattern
to
all
scholars
and
Christians
,
who
all
are
the
Scholars
of
Jesus
,
how
we
may
increase
in
wisdome
.
Wisdome
entereth
into
the
Soul
by
degrees
,
so
it
entered
into
the
soul
of
Jesus
,
because
he
increased
in
wisdome
.
We
find
two
kinds
of
soul
food

for
Babes
,
&

meat

and
Jesus
Christ
made
use
of
both
these
kinds
of
Soul

,
the
Scriptures
are
the
purest
spiritual
milk
in
the
world

of

ye
may

thereby

as
are
born
of
the

by
receiving
into

Souls
the
ingrafted

,
they
relish
no
food
but
such
as
is
grounded
upon
,
and
deduced
from
the
Scriptures
,
&
such
was
the
food
that
Jesus
fed
upon
,
whereby
he
was
filled
with
wisdome
;
we
see
that
Jesus
Christ
hath
sanctified
Schools
of
learning
,
and
all
good
means
of
education
of
youth
in
knowledge
and
wisdome
,
and
did
perfectly
fulfil
the
Law
of
God
therein
for
us
.
5.
He
increased
in
stature
.
As
his
Age
and
Years
came
on
,
so
his
humane
nature
grew
,
he
grew
up
a
comel●
young
man
,
well
featured
and
proportioned
in
all
his
limbs
,
unto
that
measure
of
stature
that
was
appointed
to
him
of
God
,
his
body
visibly
grew
,
as
his
Soul
grew
invisibly
,
unto
that
glorious
measure
which
the
Lord
had
appointed
for
it
to
attain
unto
.
Though
the
carnal
persecuting
world
,
vexed
and
incensed
by
his
holiness
and
faithful
ministry
,
were
blinded
with
the
black
smoak
of
envy
,
and
his
person
obscured
by
poverty
and
a
low
condition
,
and
therefore
saw
no
beauty
,
nor
any
thing
desireable
in
him
;
yet
in
Gods
eye
he
was
his
pleasant
Child
,
and
in
the
Churches
eye
he
was
a
glorious
person
,
we
beheld
his
glory
,
the
glory
of
the
only
begotten
of
the
Father
full
of
grace
and
Truth
,
Joh.
1.14
.
6.
He
increased
in
favour
both
wi
h
God
and
man
,
he
was
a
very
gracious
,
holy
youth
,
a
young
man
eminent
in
Religion
,
eminent
in
Sabbath
worship
,
in
Synagogue
worship
,
in
Family
worship
,
in
Temple
worship
,
all
his
converse
and
discourse
was
holy
,
heavenly
,
and
religious
;
he
behaved
himself
in
all
things
as
a
darling
Child
of
God
.
And
in
his
converse
with
men
,
he
was
of
a
civil
,
kind
,
courteous
,
and
affable
conversation
,
so
that
all
Gods
people
did
love
him
,
honour
him
,
and
reverence
him
in
their
hearts
,
though
the
wicked
and
prophane
contemned
him
,
yet
in
their
consciences
they
could
not
but
have
a
reverent
esteem
of
him
.
So
he
grew
in
favour
with
God
and
man
.
Thus
he
lived
,
and
carryed
himself
until
he
was
about
thirty
years
of
Age.
In
this
course
of
his
Earthly
pilgrimage
,
he
had
opportunity
to
obey
God
in
all
the
Commandments
of
the
Law
.
The
whole
System
of
the
obedience
of
man
,
in
walking
towards
God
in
holiness
according
to
the
first
Table
of
the
Law
,
and
in
righteousness
towards
man
according
to
the
second
Table
of
the
Law
,
was
performed
by
him
,
and
he
never
failed
in
one
jot
or
Tittle
of
the
Law
,
but
did
perfectly
fulfil
it
.
Such
particular
commands
as
his
Sex
or
calling
,
&c.
gave
him
not
opportunity
actually
to
perform
,
those
h●
did
virtually
and
habitually
perform
,
and
that
was
acceptable
to
God
;
for
Adam
if
he
had
stood
in
Innocency
should
not
personally
have
performed
the
Commandments
peculiar
to
Children
,
yet
should
acceptably
have
fulfilled
the
whole
Law
.
And
the
times
that
Jesus
lived
in
were
such
trying
times
,
as
did
put
him
often
upon
most
eminent
acts
of
obedience
,
〈◊〉
he
came
to
the
Church
of
the
Jews
,
when
they
were
at
the
worst
that
●ver
they
were
,
and
under
the
deepest
degree
of
Apostacy
,
which
filled
all
men
with
tryals
and
temptations
,
and
rendred
it
a
difficult
work
,
to
keep
true
and
upright
in
his
obedience
to
God
.
Yet
Iesus
kept
his
integrity
without
the
least
spot
,
blemish
,
or
stain
,
1
Pet.
2.22
,
23.
he
came
also
at
a
time
when
the
Jews
were
subdued
by
,
and
subjected
unto
the
Roman
power
,
which
condition
did
render
the
times
very
difficult
to
keep
a
good
Conscience
,
and
to
walk
with
God
in
truth
and
sincerity
.
Yet
notwithstanding
these
and
such
like
difficulties
,
Jesus
Christ
held
fast
his
integrity
,
and
walked
in
all
obedience
to
God
,
and
towards
all
men
with
perfect
Innocency
:
In
this
course
of
his
humane
life
he
perfectly
fulfilled
the
Law
of
God
.
And
all
this
he
did
as
our
Saviour
,
and
Mediator
,
and
Surety
.
The
first
Adam
ought
to
have
fulfilled
the
Law
,
but
he
did
not
,
he
fell
into
sin
before
he
had
kept
the
Law
,
therefore
Jesus
Christ
the
second
Adam
,
he
undertaketh
to
perform
that
which
he
left
unperformed
;
he
hath
perfectly
fulfilled
the
Law
by
his
active
obedience
,
&
this
perfect
obedience
of
Jesus
is
imputed
unto
believers
,
and
God
doth
account
it
unto
us
,
as
if
we
had
performed
it
,
2
Cor.
5.21
.
that
we
may
be
made
the
Righteousness
of
God
in
him
,
and

Jesus
Christ
is
the

CAP.

The
History
of
some
of
the
Sufferings
of
Jesus
Christ
which
he
lay
under
and
indured
through
all
the
course
of
his
Humane
life
in
this
world
,
many
of
them
in
this
most
quiet
time
of
his
life
before
he
entered
upon
his
publick
Ministry
MY
scope
being
to
explain
and
set
forth
the
sufferings
of
Jesus
Christ
,
I
shall
endeavour
according
to
my
poor
ability
,
to
shew
what
sufferings
Jesus
Christ
underwent
in
all
this
course
of
his
pilgrimage
.
Jesus
Christ
having
undertaken
to
be
our
Advocate
with
the
Father
,
and
to
procure
our
peace
with
God
;
as
it
was
incumbent
on
him
to
purchase
for
us
the
Inheritance
promised
in
the
Covenant
of
works
,
by
fulfilling
the
Law
by
his
pure
,
perfect
,
and
meritorious
,
active
obedience
unto
the
Law
of
God
,
which
Adam
left
unperformed
.
So
it
was
incumbent
upon
our
Lord
Jesus
to
suffer
the
punishment
due
unto
us
,
for
our
transgression
of
the
Law
.
The
Captain
of
our
Salvation
must
be
made
perfect
by
suffering
.
Hence
when
in
his
Infancy
he
fled
for
his
life
,
from
Herods
Jurisdiction
into
Egypt
,
this
suffering
of
Christ
was
a
part
of
the
punishment
due
unto
the
sin
of
man
,
he
having
taken
upon
him
the
imputation
of
the
guilt
of
the
sin
of
man
.
The
curse
and
punishment
due
to
sin
did
justly
fall
upon
him
,
and
under
that
consideration
were
all
the
sufferings
of
Jesus
Christ
,
he
did
not
suffer
affliction
as
a
means
of
mortification
of
sin
,
as
we
do
,
for
he
had
no
sin
to
mortifie
,
but
all
that
he
suffered
was
by
virtue
of
his
office
of
a
Mediator
,
and
he
suffered
in
all
things
the
punishment
due
to
sin
,
his
sufferings
were
all
of
them
a
branch
of
the
curse
,
an
effect
of
the
guilt
of
sin
,
he
suffered
in
all
things
as
a
publick
person
,
as
a
Mediator
,
and
therefore
in
every
thing
that
he
suffered
he
underwent
the
wrath
of
God
,
the
curse
and
punishment
of
the
Law
,
which
was
due
to
sin
,
never
did
a
man
suffer
such
sufferings
,
and
so
,
as
Jesus
Christ
suffered
.
When
he
returned
from
Egypt
,
and
his
Parents
by
prudent
fear
were
constrained
to
withdraw
into
an
obscure
corner
of
the
Country
,
there
to
hide
,
and
bring
up
the
child
,
Jesus
Christ
suffered
this
as
an
effect
of
the
guilt
of
the
sin
of
man
,
as
a
branch
of
the
curse
and
wrathful
punishment
of
the
sin
of
man
;
and
this
obscurity
did
run
through
his
whole
life
.
More
particularly
,
I
shall
instance
some
of
the
sufferings
of
Jesus
Christ
which
he
suffered
all
his
life
long
,
even
in
this
most
quiet
time
of
his
life
,
when
his
active
obedience
did
chiefly
shine
,
and
this
I
do
to
shew
the
complication
of
his
active
obedience
and
passive
obedience
together
in
his
quietest
and
best
times
,
wherein
he
did
most
illustriously
perform
his
active
obedience
,
he
was
under
clouds
of
suffering
in
them
all
.
And
first
I
shall
lay
sundry
of
them
together
,
and
then
open
them
distinctly
.
1.
Jesus
Christ
suffered
for
us
the
affliction
of
poverty
as
it
is
a
fruit
of
the
curse
,
the
sting
of
the
guilt
of
sin
,
wrath
and
punishment
of
sin
were
in
it
.
2.
Jesus
Christ
suffered
for
us
the
affliction
of
a
low
obscure
condition
in
this
world
,
as
a
fruit
of
the
curse
,
the
sting
of
the
guilt
of
sin
,
and
wrathful
punishment
for
sin
was
in
it
.
3.
Jesus
Christ
suffered
for
us
the
affliction
of
a
servant-like
condition
in
this
world
,
as
a
fruit
of
the
curse
,
having
the
sting
of
the
guilt
of
sin
,
and
wrathful
punishment
of
sin
in
it
.
These
three
first
kinds
of
sufferings
he
underwent
all
his
life
through
:
the
rest
that
follow
,
he
did
chi●fly
undergoe
after
he
entered
upon
his
publick
Ministry
.
4.
Jesus
Christ
suffered
for
us
the
affliction
of
grief
,
infirmities
,
bodily
pains
,
as
the
fruit
of
the
curse
,
having
the
sting
of
guilt
,
and
wrathful
punishment
of
sin
in
them
.
5.
Jesus
Christ
suffered
for
us
reproaches
,
slanders
,
cruel
mockings
as
a
fruit
of
the
curse
,
having
the
sting
of
the
guilt
and
wrathful
punishment
of
sin
in
them
.
6.
Jesus
Christ
suffered
for
us
Temptations
many
and
great
,
as
a
fruit
of
the
curse
,
having
wrathful
punishment
of
sin
in
them
.
The
sting
of
all
these
su●ferings
of
Iesus
Christ
(
and
such
like
;
for
he
suffered
all
the
sinless
punishments
of
sin
)
was
the
imputation
of
the
guilt
of
our
sin
,
and
the
real
curse
and
wrath
of
God
due
to
our
sin
,
but
the
evil
of
sin
he
touched
not
.
The
most
of
these
su●●erings
did
fall
upon
him
through
the
whole
course
of
his
life
,
before
he
was
persecuted
for
his
faithful
Ministry
and
Doctrine
.
But
reproaches
and
cruel
mockings
are
most
particularly
mentioned
in
his
last
sufferings
,
where
we
shall
have
occasion
to
make
particular
mention
of
them
,
all
these
kinds
of
sufferings
,
when
they
befall
us
are
calls
to
repentance
,
helps
and
means
of
mortification
;
Jesus
Christ
hath
taken
out
the
sting
,
and
turned
them
into
wholsome
medicines
.
But
they
fell
upon
Jesus
Christ
as
punishments
of
sin
,
fruits
of
the
curse
,
executed
upon
our
Surety
to
the
uttermost
of
the
merit
and
desert
of
sin
,
until
vindictive
justice
was
satisfied
,
and
said
,
I
am
well
pleased
,
it
is
enough
.
Though
in
the
time
of
Jesus
Christ
his
private
life
,
many
people
favoured
him
,
and
it
is
like
none
but
the
vilest
mocked
and
despised
him
,
yet
when
he
publickly
preached
and
reproved
their
sins
,
and
fell
under
the
hatred
and
persecution
of
the
chief
Priests
,
Scribes
and
Pharisees
,
then
the
generality
of
the
people
raged
against
him
,
and
few
did
adhere
to
him
,
and
very
few
believed
in
him
;
and
all
this
he
suffered
as
the
punishment
and
desert
of
our
sin
.
I
shall
more
particularly
open
these
several
sorts
of
punishments
of
sins
which
our
Lord
Jesus
suffered
for
us
,
to
satisfie
Divine
justice
,
and
to
take
away
the
sting
and
curse
of
them
from
us
,
and
to
sanctifie
them
to
be
wholsome
medicines
in
his
hand
to
do
us
good
by
them
.

of

as
appeareth

the

is

I

and
this

speaketh
abundantly
of
the
sufferings

Jesus
Christ
,
and
this
of
poverty
is
one
of
his
sufferings
,
Psal.
109.22
.
I
am
poor
and

and
this

is
a
Prophesy

appeareth

and

.
This
part
of
the
sufferings
of
Christ
is
abundantly
declared
both
in
the
Prophesy
and
also
in
the
History
.
Poverty
is
not
a
sin
,
but
an
affliction
a
punishment
of
sin
,
sin
hath
brought
poverty
upon
man
,
as
the
desert
of
our
sin
,
man
was
a
rich
Lord
,
but
sin
hath
made
him
a
poor
beggar
.
The
reason
why
poverty
is
a
punishment
,
is
,
because
it
cutteth
us
off
,
and
depriveth
us
,
and
taketh
away
much
of
our
dominion
over
the
Creatures
of
God
.
Adam
was
made
Lord
over
Gods
Creatures
,
in
this
low
world
he
had
dominion
over
them
,
but
sin
hath
stripped
us
in
a
great
measure
of
our
dominion
.
God
will
permit
us
to
have
a
little
,
a
few
of
his
creatures
to
rule
over
and
employ
.
Though
some
dominion
over
,
and
use
of
the
creatures
God
doth
allow
to
every
one
,
even
to
the
poorest
Lazarus
,
viz.
the
Earth
to
tred
and
ly
upon
,
the
Air
to
breath
in
,
and
some
food
to
live
upon
,
though
this
is
a
grant
of
free
mercy
,
for
sin
hath
deserved
that
we
should
be
stripped
of
all
good
.
Poverty
is
a
very
dark
cloud
drawn
over
sinful
man
,
which
vaileth
all
his
glory
and
humane
excellency
.
And
it
was
a
dark
cloud
over
Jesus
Christ
,
when
he
was
here
on
Earth
amongst
us
.
There
be
many
vices
that
attend
Poverty
,
Prov.
30.4
.
but
Jesus
Christ
touched
none
of
them
,
he
suffered
sinless
poverty
,
but
not
the
sins
of
poverty
which
it
tempteth
and
exposeth
men
unto
;
there
be
also
many
virtues
that
attend
and
shine
in
poverty
,
these
virtues
did
Jesus
Christ
shine
in
,
there
is
sanctified
poverty
and
that
Christ
suffered
,
there
is
also
unsanctified
poverty
,
and
that
Jesus
Christ
touched
not
;
he
suffered
the
curse
of
poverty
,
that
he
might
take
the
curse
out
of
it
;
this
he
suffered
,
to
turn
the
quality
,
the
effect
and
the
operation
of
it
to
be
only
medicinal
,
and
not
destructive
unto
us
.
Consider
what
be
the
afflictions
of
poverty
which
Jesus
Christ
suffered
,
and
then
see
how
Jesus
Christ
suffered
them
all
,
yea
,
more
then
I
can
utter
.
1.
Poverty
cutteth
off
,
depriveth
,
bereaveth
us
of
those
creatures
of
God
over
which
we
are
to
have
dominion
in
this
low
world
,
for
our
comfort
and
use
.
God
made
man
Lord
over
the
works
of
his
hand
,
gave
him
wisdome
to
use
and
improve
them
to
the
glory
and
service
of
God
,
and
for
his
own
honour
and
comfort
.
but
sin
hath
stripped
us
of
this
our
dominion
;
we
have
forfeited
and
lost
all
,
see
a
bereaved
condition
described
,
Psal.
89.38
,
to
46.
thou
hast
cast
off
and
abhorred
,
thou
hast
been
wroth
with
thy
anointed
,
thou
hast
prophaned
his
crown
,
by
casting
it
to
the
ground
thou
hast
broken
down
all
his
hedges
,
thou
hast
made
his
glory
to
cease
,
and
cast
his
throne
to
the
ground
.
alas
,
how
poor
hath
sin
left
man
!
Adam
suffered
the
greatest
loss
&
downfall
that
ever
man
suffered
!
poor
Adam
!
he
lost
the
Lordship
of
the
whole
world
,
both
from
his
own
possession
,
and
his
Childrens
after
him
.
Only
God
did
of
his
meer
bounty
and
goodness
restore
unto
him
a
little
under
the
government
of
Christ
,
so
much
as
might
serve
his
turn
in
a
poor
manner
,
to
pass
through
the
pilgrimage
of
man
in
this
world
.
By
this
fall
of
Adam
,
and
loss
of
his
dominion
,
the
Devil
hath
got
it
in
a
great
measure
by
the
permission
of
our
Lord
,
into
his
hand
,
and
all
his
study
▪
and
care
,
is
to
bring
all
dominion
,
riches
,
and
worldly
honour
into
the
hands
of
the
wicked
and
ungodly
world
;
who
will
be
real
and
vigorous
promoters
of
his
affairs
and
Kingdome
.
2.
The
second
affliction
of
poverty
is
;
he
hath
but
little
,
and
that
but
mean
food
,
little
and
poor
raiment
,
little
,
or
no
house
,
shelter
or
harbour
of
his
own
,
no
beast
to
ride
on
,
to
ease
him
in
his
travails
,
or
to
bear
burthens
for
him
.
So
it
was
with
Jesus
Christ
,
poor
food
,
which
appeareth
by
this
,
that
his
miraculous
feeding
the
people
with
that
food
which
was
provided
for
themselves
,
and
that
was
barly
bread
and
fish
,
Joh.
6.6.13
.
there
is
a
lad
here
that
hath
five
barly
loaves
,
and
two
small
fishes
,
ve.
13.
they
gathered
and
filled
twelve
baskets
full
with
the
fragments
of
the
five
barley
loaves
,
for
garments
we
read
little
,
but
he
exhorted
his
Disciples
to
have
but
one
Coat
,
and
it
is
most
probable
that
he
had
no
more
himself
.
For
house
and
harbour
,
the
Text
saith
,
he
had
none
of
his
own
,
though
he
had
built
for
others
.
For
beasts
,
he
had
not
so
much
as
a
poor
Ass
to
ride
on
,
and
when
he
came
triumphant
into
the
City
,
he
borrowad
an
Ass
to
ride
on
,
Math.
21.2
,
3.
alas
poor
Kiing
!
how
would
his
unbelieving
adversaries
deride
him
!
none
of
the
Kings
and
great
ones
regarded
him
,
nor
yet
the
people
,
only
believers
had
faith
to
behold
him
that
was
behind
this
Curtain
of
poverty
.
3.
The
third
affliction
of
poverty
,
the
poor
are
neglected
,
disregarded
,
yea
,
though
they
be
wise
;
benificent
,
and
do
eminent
good
works
,
poverty
so
darkens
them
,
that
they
are
forgotten
and
not
regarded
,
Eccl.
9.14
,
15
,
16.
thare
was
a
little
City
,
and
few
men
within
it
,
and
there
came
a
great
King
against
it
,
and
besieged
it
,
and
built
great
bulwarks
against
it
,
now
there
was
found
in
it
a
poor
wise
man
,
and
he
by
his
wisdome
delivered
the
City
,
yet
no
man
remembred
that
poor
man
,
then
I
said
,
wisdome
is
better
then
strength
,
nevertheless
,
the
poor
mans
wisdome
is
despised
,
and
his
words
are
not
heard
,
So
it
was
with
Jesus
,
he
was
very
wise
,
full
of
wisdome
from
a
child
,
Luk
,
2.40
.
and
in
his
course
of
life
,
no
doubt
did
give
much
good
counsel
unto
many
,
and
did
many
notable
and
eminent
good
works
,
but
by
reason
of
his
poverty
none
regarded
him
.
And
that
may
be
one
Reason
why
so
little
is
recorded
of
him
in
the
time
of
his
private
life
.
Yea
,
he
hath
not
only
delivered
a
City
,
but
a
world
,
not
from
an
earthly
King
,
but
from
the
vindictive
justice
of
God
,
and
not
only
their
bodies
,
but
their
Souls
also
,
and
yet
who
was
more
neglected
then
Jesus
Christ
,
Isai.
53.3
.
he
is
despised
and
rejected
of
men
,
though
he
was
employed
in
the
great
work
of
our
Salvation
,
1
Sam.
18.23
.
I
am
poor
and
lightly
esteemed
.
4.
The
fourth
affliction
of
poverty
;
if
the
poor
do
never
so
little
anger
,
vex
,
or
stand
in
the
light
of
the
proud
,
carnal
world
,
they
will
despise
and
curse
them
,
Joh.
7.48
,
49.
have
any
of
the
Rulers
and
Pharisees
believed
in
him
?
but
the
people
who
know
not
the
Law
are
cursed
,
Ioh.
9.28.34
.
they
reviled
him
,
they
said
,
thou
wert
altogether
born
in
sin
,
and
dost
thou
teach
us
!
and
they
cast
him
out
,
Prov.
14.20
.
the
poor
is
hated
even
of
his
own
neighbour
,
but
the
rich
hath
many
friends
,
Prov.
19.4
.
wealth
maketh
many
friends
,
but
the
poor
is
separated
from
his
Neighbour
,
Prov.
19.7
.
all
the
brethren
of
the
poor
do
hate
him
,
how
much
more
do
his
friends
go
far
from
him
,
he
pursueth
them
with
words
,
yet
they
are
wan●ing
to
him
.
Thus
it
was
with
Iesus
Christ
,
Joh.
7.5
.
for
neither
did
his
brethren
believe
in
him
.
5.
The
fifth
affliction
of
poverty
is
,
when
a
man
is
poor
,
men
think
that
God
despiseth
them
,
as
they
themselves
do
.
Thus
they
dealt
by
Iesus
Christ
,
Isai.
53.4
.
we
did
esteem
him
stricken
,

of
God
and

and

Thus
it
was
with
Iesus

,
his
poverty
did
disable
him
from
carrying
any

Jesus
Christ
by

did
many
wonderful

miraculous
good
works

in
healing

in

he

fed

he
filled

no

all

when
all
had

Quest.
Why
did
Iesus
Christ
undergo
poverty
,
such
deep
poverty
?
Answ.
1.
For
the
satisfaction
of
the
vindictive
justice
of
God
for
the
sin
of
man
,
all
sinless
punishment
which
sin
had
deserved
,
and
justly
brought
upon
man
,
this
Iesus
Christ
suffered
,
of
which
punishment
poverty
is
a
chief
part
.
Adam
was
a
rich
Lord
over
the
world
,
he
had
a
great
dominion
,
but
upon
his
fall
he
was
thrust
out
of
Paradice
,
stripped
of
all
his
dominion
,
dignity
,
and
glory
,
he
was
Lord
of
the
world
,
but
now
an
outcast
,
a
poor
beggar
,
he
has
nothing
but
what
Gods
mercy
will
bestow
on
him
,
he
hangs
upon
every
creature
for
relief
,
wool
,
hair
,
hides
,
flesh
,
and
many
other
things
he
is
necessitated
to
get
from
the
creatures
of
God
,
for
his
relief
,
which
are
drops
and
branches
of
his
lost
dominion
,
and
notwithstanding
this
beggarly
condition
of
man
,
so
foolish
many
are
,
to
bedeck
thems●lves
in
pride
with
these
things
which
should
be
for
their
humbling
.
This
second
state
of
Adam
,
this
poor
punished
condition
did
Iesus
Christ
take
upon
him
,
Phil
,
2.7
,
8.
though
equal
with
God
,
yet
he
became
a
stripped
,
bereaved
,
naked
man
,
and
of
the
poorest
sort
among
them
.
This
was
a
chief
part
of
the
sufferings
of
Iesus
Christ
for
the
sin
of
man
,
he
bore
this
effect
of
Gods
wrath
upon
fallen
man
,
to
bear
it
off
and
away
from
us
.
2.
Iesus
Christ
bore
this
part
of
the
punishment
of
sin
,
for
the
sake
of
Gods
elect
,
to
sanctifie
this
state
of
poverty
for
them
,
to
take
out
the
sting
of
it
,
and
to
remove
the
curse
from
it
that
it
might
become
a
blessing
to
them
;
for
it
is
Gods
designe
and
purpose
,
that
the
state
of
his
Church
and
Saints
in
this
world
should
be
poor
,
the
most
part
of
them
,
and
therefore
he
hath
prepared
poverty
for
them
by
taking
the
curse
out
of
it
,

ye
see
your
calling
Brethren
,
how
that
not
m●ny
wise
after
the
flesh
,
not
many
mighty
,
not
many
noble
are
called
,
but
God
hath
ch●s●n
the
foolish
things
of
the
world
to
confound
the
wise
,
and
God
hath
chosen
the
weak
things
of
the
world
to
confound
the
mighty
,
and
base
things
of
the
world
,
and
things
that
are
despised
hath
God
chosen
,
yea
,
and
things
that
are
not
,
to
bring
to
nought
the
things
that
are
,
that
no
flesh
should
glory
in
his
presence
,
3.
Jesus
Christ
came
into
the
world
in
this
poor
condition
,
to
leave
an
advantage
to
Satan
to
tempt
and
prevail
with
the
wicked
Jews
and
Romans
,
to
put
him
to
death
,
for
none
of
them
feared
to
abuse
such
a
poor
man
,
Herod
and
his
men
of
War
despised
him
,
the
Emperour
and
other
Rulers
under
him
feared
him
not
but
easily
condescended
and
conspired
to
put
him
to
cruel
sufferings
and
death
;
he
was
so
darkened
by
the
cloud
of
poverty
,
that
he
had
no
thoughts
that
he
was
th●
Lord
of
glory
,
1
Cor.
2.8
.
which
none
of
the
Princes
of
this
world
knew
,
for
had
they
known
it
,
they
would
not
have
crucified
the
Lord
of
glory
,
The
Sacrament
of
the
Lords
Supper
may
seem
to
be
a
pure
Institution
,
yet
it
is
an
effectual
memorial
of
all
the
sufferings
of
Jesus
Christ
,
from
his
poor
cradle
to
his
bitter
Cross
and
dark
grave
.
Moreover
it
is
necessary
to
consider
that
the
poverty
of
Jesus
was
a
thousand
times
,
yea
,
above
all
comparison
,
more
bitter
then
our
poverty
is
,
for
his
poverty
had
the
sting
of
the
curse
in
it
,
it
was
an
effect
of
the
wrath
of
God
.
And
by
his
suffering
thereof
,
unto
the
full
satisfaction
of
divine
justice
:
he
took
the
sting
of
the
curse
out
of
our
sufferings
,
and
out
of
our
poverty
,
and
made
them
to
be
only
medicinal
to
us
.
Our
poverty
and
all
our
sufferings
are
upon
many
accounts
sweet
and
easy
,
yea
Jesus
Commands
us
to
rejoyce
,
and
be
exceeding
glad
under
them
.
The
believing
Jews
took
joyfully
the
spoyling
of
their
goods
,
Heb.
10.34
.
But
Jesus
Christ
his
sufferings
were
all
bitter
,
as
respecting
his
humane
nature
,
as
being
our
Mediator
and
Surety
He
had
joy
in
respect
of
the
Father
whose
will
he
obeyed
and
fulfilled
,
but
the
desert
and
punishment
of
their
sin
lay
with
its
full
weight
upon
him
,
so
that
we
see
,
that
the
poverty
of
Jesus
Christ
was
an
heavy
part
of
his
sufferings
,
a
part
of
his
passive
obedicnce
,
which
did
run
through
the
whole
course
of
his
life
,
from
his
birrh
to
his
death

Jesus
Christ
suffered
the
punishment
of
a
low
,
obscure
,
dispised
condition
in
this
World
.
PSalm
.
22.6
.
I
am
a
worm
and
no
man
,
despised
of
the
people
,
a
no
body
,
a
nothing
,
a
poor
despicable
thing
,
this
is
an
effect
of
his
poverty
,
and
therefore
in
the
opening
of
it
,
sundry
things
will
be
coincident
,
and
some
,
the
same
that
were
expressed
in
his
sufferings
of
poverty
,
but
it
should
not
be
accounted
a
needless
Tautologie
,
seeing
the
Scripture
is
so
plentiful

both
in

in

History

to
express
,
amplifie
,

dilate
upon
the
point
of
the
sufferings
of
our
Lord
Jesus
,
as
being
a
point
very
remarkeable
,
and
much
to
be
insisted
upon
,
and
often
inculcated
.
Wealth
is
an
exercise
of
the
dominion
of
man
,
therefore
it
exalts
a
man
in
the
World
.
poverty
strippeth
man
of
his
dominion
,
therefore
it
layes
him
low
in
the
World
.
And
in
that
condition
it
pleased
Jesus
Christ
to
lay
himself
.
He
who
is
God
humbled
himself
by
his
Incarnation
,
lower
then
Angels
,
though
he
had
been
born
the
greatest
of

on

,
yet
he

himself
to

man
,

he
emptied
himself

laid
himself
among

Quest
,
What
renders
a
man
to
be
a
no
body
,
a
nothing
,
a
worm
?
Answ.
Many
things
,
which
are
in
no
wise
appertaining
to
Jesus
Christ
,
as
for
instance
1.
When
a
man
is
of
low
parts
and
gifts
,
a
simple
,
sorry
,
foolish
,
creature
,
but
Jesus
Christ
was
not
such
an
one
,
Luk.
2.40
.
when
he
was
a
child
he
was
full
of
wisdome
,
and
52.
as
he
grew
up
he
increased
in
wisdome
.
2.
When
a
man
is
unfit
for
any
action
or
service
in
his
generation
,
like
an
Image
finely
carved
,
but
good
for
nothing
,
as
Isai.
44.10
.
But
Jesus
Christ
was
not
such
an
one
,
he
did
the
greatest
good
to
man
that
ever
was
done
,
never
man
did
the
like
,
Psal.
89.6
.
who
in
the
heavens
can
be
compared
to
the
Lord
,
who
among
the
Sons
of
the
mighty
can
be
likened
to
the
Lord
.
3.
When
men
are
deboshed
and
defiled
with
gross
sins
,
this
doth
debase
them
,
and
make
them
no
bodies
,
Prov.
14.34
.
But
Jesus
Christ
was
far
from
any
such
stain
or
spot
,
he
is
a
Lamb
without
spot
or
blemish
,
1
Pet.
1.19
.
he
knew
no
sin
,
though
he
was
made
sin
for
us
,
by
the
imputation
of
our
sin
,
and
1
Pet.
2.32
,
23
,
24.
who
did
no
sin
,
neither
was
guile
found
in
his
mouth
,
who
when
he
was
reviled
,
reviled
not
again
,
when
he
suffered
,
he
threatned
not
,
but
committed
himself
to
him
that
judgeth
righteously
;
who
his
own
self
bare
our
sins
in
his
own
body
on
the
Tree
.
4.
Men
are
rendred
of
no
esteem
,
when
they
are
of
an
ill
disposition
,
proud
,
covetous
,
selfish
,
passionate
,
censorious
,
contentious
,
and
such
like
.
But
no
such
thing
was
ever
found
in
Jesus
Christ
,
he
was

,
lowly
,

Lastly
,
When
men
are
poor
in
the
world
,
this
makes
them
low
and
despicable
in
the
worlds
Eye
.
And
this
only
was
the
case
of
Iesus
Christ
,
saving
that
we
may
add
,

was
an
Eye-sore

the
Scribes

and
hipocrites

to
such

This
low
condition
is
a
part
of
the
spotless
punishment
of
the
sin
of
man
,
unto
which
Iesus
Christ
doth
voluntarily
submit
himself

Quest.
Wherein
,
or
in
what
respects
was
Jesus
Christ
like
unto
a
worm

he

Jesus
Christ
his
poverty
did
so
vaile
his
glory
,
that
in
all
these
and
such
like
respects
he
was
like
a
worm
,
which
cloud
of
obscurity
was
no
small
part
of
his
humiliation
,
and
suffering
for
our
sin
,
he
was

He

they
were

and
where
it

,
the

and

None
is
afraid
of
a
worm
,
it
cannot
hurt
us
,
so
none
feared
Jesus
Christ
,
Herod
and
his
men
of
war
set
him
at
nought
;
though
there
was
the
greatest
cause
in
the
world
for
Herod
and
his

of
war
to
have
feared
the
Lion
of

and

None
careth
to
defend
such
a
poor
useless
creature
as
a
worm
is
,
so
no
body
cared
to
defend
Jesus
Christ
,
and
his
cause
.
Once
Nicodemus
spake
a
good
word
for
Jesus

,
which
had
a
present
good

,
but
he
was

,

.
fear
not
thou
worm
Jacob.
5.
Any
one
is
bold
to
tread
upon
a
worm
to
hurt
and
injure
it
,
so
were
the
people
bold
to
speak
and
do
against
Jesus
Christ
,
sometimes
to
stone
him
,
Ioh.
8.59
.
and
10.31
.
sometime
to
cast
him
down
the
clist
of
the
Rocks
,
Luk
4.28
,
29
,
30.
but
God
preserved
him
from
them
.
6.
Every
one
is
easily
induced
&
perswaded
to
destroy
a
worm
.
So
were
th●
people
,
who
a
few
dayes
before
had
cried
Hosanna
to
the
Son
of
David
,
easily
perswaded
by
the
Priests
,
Scribes
and
Pharises
to
cry
,
crucifie
him
,
and
give
us
Barabbas
.
7.
They
fear
no
body
to
take
vengeance
for
wrong
done
to
a
worm
,
so
were
the
Jews
fearless
of
any
vengeance
to
be
inflicted
upon
them
for
the
wrong
and
injury
done
unto
Jesus
Christ
,
which
made
them
bold
to
expose
thems●lves
and
their
posterity
unto
any
such
vengeance
,
saying
,
his
blood
be
upon
us
,
and
upon
our
Children
.
And
never
was
blood
more
sharply
revenged
,
and
a
curse
more
severely
executed
,
for
they
have
been
under
that
curse
near
seventeen
hundred
years
,
and
they
are
still
under
it
to
this
day
.
Quest.
But
why
did
Jesus
Christ
take
upon
him
such
a
low
condition
in
this
world
?
why
came
he
not
a
Prince
in
the
external
Royalty
of
his
Father
David
?
Answ.
1.
Because
this
low
,
stripped
,
bereaved
condition
,
under
the
loss
of
th●
dominion
of
man
in
this
world
is
one
part
of
the
punishment
due
to
the
sin
of
man
,
Gen.
3
,
23
,
24.
and
it
is
such
a
punishment
as
may
be
taken
up
and
born
with
Innocency
,
without
any
defilement
of
sin
,
therefore
Jesus
Christ
did
willingly
submit
to
the
deepest
stroke
of
that
punishment
,
for
the
satisfaction
of
Divine
justice
,
Isai.
63.9
.
in
all
our
sinless
afflictions
he
was
afflicted
,
and
Isai.
53.4
.
he
hath
born
our
griefs
,
was
wounded
for
our
transgressions
,
the
chastisement
of
our
peace
was
upon
him
.
And
this
innocent
punishment
for
our
sin
he
suffered
most
purely
,
perfectly
,
and
meritoriously
,
unto
the
Infinite
satisfaction
of
the
vindictive
Justice
of
God
.
And
thereby
took
out
the
sting
of
the
curse
from
the
like
low
condition
,
that
we
may
fall
into
,
and
he
bore
it
away
from
us
,
Isai.
53.5
,
6.
2.
Jesus
Christ
came
in
this
low
condition
to
sanctifie
a
low
condition
in
this
world
,
for
his
Saints
,
the
elect
of
God
.
Seeing
it
was
the
purpose
of
God
to
carry
the
Church
in
this
world
through
such
a
low
condition
,
1
Cor.
1.26
,
27
,
28.
Yet
take
this
with
these
cautious
,
1.
All
the
Church
of
Gods
Elect
are
not
so
,
all
are
not
in
such
a
low
condition
,
though
most
are
,
for
the
Text
saith
,
not
many
noble
,
rich
,
mighty
,
but
some
such
there
alwayes
are
,
for
the
great
support
of
the
Church
,
when
Kings
are
nu●sing
Fathers
,
and
Queens
are
nursing
mothers
to
the
Churches
,
Isai.
49.23
.
2
,
Again
,
take
this
caution
,
that
this
low
condition
of
the
Church
shall
not
alwa●es
be
so
,
for
in
the
latter
dayes
Jesus
Christ
will
more
plentifully
pour
out
p●●s
●rity
,
grace
,
which
though
it
hath
been
more
rarely
dispenced
hitherunto
,
yet
it
seemeth
to
me
,
that
it
shall
be
otherwise
in
the
glorious
times
of
the
Church
in
this
world
as
may
be
gathered
out
of
the
Prophesies
of
Isaiah
from
the
sixty
Chapter
and
so
forward
:
and
from
many
other
Scriptures
.
3.
Jesus
Christ
came
in
a
low
condition
in
this
world
,
and
carryeth
his
Elect
(
many
of
them
)
through
this
world
in
a
low
condition
,
to
exert
and
exercise
Gods
Sovereignty
,
in
defending
his
poor
worms
against
the
proud
great
world
,
and
sometimes
in
advancing
his
worm
,
Jacob
and
David
from
the
Shephards
crook
to
the
Scepter
,
Luk.
1.48
.
he
hath
regarded
the
low
estate
of
his
handmaid
,
this
Sovereignty
of
God
is
highly
celebrated
,

and
abundantly
in

the
Scriptures
and
of
the
providences
of
God
.
4.
Jesus
Christ
came
in
such
a
low
condition
,
to
set
us
a
pattern
of
exercising
suffering
graces
,
which
must
be
in
this
militant
world
or
not
at
all
,
for
there
will
be
no
occasion
in
Heaven
for
the
use
of
suffering
grace
,
when
all
tears
shall
be
wiped
away
from
our
eyes
.
5.
Jesus
Christ
came
in
such
a
low
condition
,
to
leave
an
occasion
(
not
a
cause
)
in
the
hand
of
Satan
,
easily
to
prevail
with
the
wicked
Jews
,
and
Pagan
Romans
,
to
be
so
bold
as
to
put
to
death
that
innocent
person
Iesus
Christ
;
for
the
accomplishing
of
Gods
Counsel
,
Act.
2.23
.
for
the
salvation
of
man
,
his
low
condition
obscured
his
glory
,
whom
if
they
had
known
,
they
would
not
have
put
to
death
the
Lord
of
glory
,
1
Cor.
2.8
.
From
all
this
we
may
see
and
learn
that
a
poor
low
condition
in
this
world
is
a
sinless
affliction
,
which
Iesus
Christ
hath
sanctified
to
be
wholsome
and
good
for
his
Church
in
this
life
,
and
giveth
us
opportunity
of
exerting
and
acting
many
graces
of
the
Spirit
,
and
Iesus
Christ
hath
a
most
tender
care
over
all
his
poor
worms

THis

an

part

of
the
Humiliation
and
sufferings
of
Iesus

a

I
am
not
worthy
to

called

make
me
as
one
of
thy

Servants
,
it
was
a
word
of
humiliation
in
the
penitent
prodigal
,
but
an
unexpressible
act
of
humiliation
in
Iesus
Christ
,
he
came
to
be
a
Servant
to
his
Father
&
that
●e
might
have
been

he

O

am

I

But
Iesus

took
the
form

a
Servant

men

There
be
degrees
of
a
Servant
beneath
that
condition

Iesus

condescended
unto

which
he
could
not

unto

as
low
as
it

condescended

that
was

to
take

a

as
much
of

To
open
this
point
,
we
must
consider
there
be
sundry
kinds
or
degrees
of
Servants
,
or
Service
.
1.
There
is
the
ingenious
Servant
,
who
in
love
and
beneficence
doth
voluntarily
make
himself
a
servant
to
others
,
that
he
might
do
them
good
.
The
beneficent
man
is
willing
to
be
serviceable
,
1
Cor.
9.19
.
though
I
be
free
from
all
men
yet
have
I
made
my self
a
Servant
unto
all
,
that
I
might
gain
the
more
,
not
the
more
mony
,
but
the
more
men
,
the
more
Souls
,
for
he
fi●hed
for
Souls
.
Paul
laboured
to
win
and
gain
Souls
,
in
which
Service
he
is
an
under-worker
to
Iesus
Christ
,
for
all
the
doings
and
Sufferings
of
Iesus
Chri
t
were
to
gain
and
save
Souls
.
Such
a
Servant
Iesus
Christ
made
himself
,
Luk.
22.27
.
I
am
among
you
as
one
that
serveth
,
I
take
no
state
upon
my self
,
I
only
endeavour
to
do
good
.
This
is
a
commanded
Gospel
duty

Gal.

in
love
to
serve
each
other
,
though
we
are
called
to
Liberty

Thus
walked

famous
Thessalonians

your
labour

So
did
Jesus

he
purposely
did

act
of
Service

Service

woman

Jesus

discourse
upon
it

that
example

must
be
willing
Servants
of
each
other
,
in
love
,
yea
,
we
must
be
ready
to
do
good
to
al
,
especially
to
the
houshold
of
Faith
:
This
is
an
honourable
noble
&
generous
kind
of
Service

and
in
this
kind
of
Service
the
more
serviceable
any
be
,
the
more
honourable
they
be
,

Such
a
Servant
Jesus
Christ
is
,
and
that
in
the
most
eminent
way
in

for
he
dyed
for
his
Enemies

do
them
good

There
is
the
hired
Servant
,
when
a
Freeman
is
hired
to
do
work
for
another
,
and
receiveth
wages
for
his
work
,
of
such
Servants
we
read
,
Math
,
20.1
,
&c.
they
were
hired
for
a
day
,
and
at
night
the
master
paid
them
their
wages
,
Sometimes
such
Freemen
are
hired
by
the
great
,
and
serve
long
in
their
work
;
as
Jacob
did
with
Laban
,
Gen.
29.
and
30.
and
31.7
.
Laban
changed
his
wages
ten
times
,
many
kinds
of
Artificers
ar●
such
servants
,
to
work
for
others
and
receive
wages
.
The
Carpenters
Trade
is
eminently
so
,
they
build
houses
for
others
to
dwell
in
,
and
have
their
wages
to
live
on
.
Joseph
the
reputed
Father
of
Jesus
was
a
Carpenter
,
and
therefore
wrought
for
his
living

other
men
,
and

Father

if
his
Father
took
a
bargain
by
the
great
,
Jesus
would
help
him
,
if
his
Father
were
hired
by
the
day
,
Jesus
would
help
him
.
And
this
is
evidently
the
form
of
a
Servant
,
though
he
was
free
.
Thus
he
would
do
,
unless
Synagogue
worship
,
or
Temple
worship
called
him
away
:
in
that
case
,
both
Father
and
Son
would
make
use
of
their
freedome
,
and
also
to
wait
on
the
Lord
in
Family
worship
.

There
is
a
bond
Servant
who
is
bound
for
all
his
life
,
as
captives
and
Moors
are
.
To
this
kind
of
service
Jesus
submitted
not
;
unto
the
three
first
forms
of
a
Servant
Jesus
did
submit
himself
,
viz.
1.
To
be
an
ingenious
Servant
,
in
love
to
do
good
to
all
,
and
especially
to
the
Saints
.
2.
To
be
a
free
Servant
to
work
with
other
men
,
and
receive
wages
with
his
Father
.
3.
To
serve
the
conquerour
,
by
paying
such
Tribute
as
they
demand
.
But
unto
the
two
last
he
submitted
not
,
viz.
to
be
bound
to
serve
a
man
for
a
time
,
and
much
less
to
be
bound
to
serve
a
man
for
his
life
.
Neither
of
these
two
forms
of
a
Servant
did
Jesus
take
up
.
And
I
may
offer
these
Reasons
for
it
.
1.
To
be
bound
to
serve
a
man
would
have
hindered
him
from
attending
unto
his
heavenly
Fathers
business
,
which
he
came
into
the
world
to
do
,
Joh.
6.38
.
I
came
down
from
Heaven
to
do
the
will
of
him
that
sent
me
,
not
my
own
will
,
and
much
less
mans
will
to
which
a
bond
Servant
is
bound
,
Joh.
5.30
.
I
came
to
do
the
will
of
the
Father
that
sent
me
,
Ioh.
4.34
.
my
meat
is
to
do
the
will
of
him
that
sent
me
.
Therefore
he
might
not
be
such
a
Servant
,
as
by
the
Law
is
tyed
to
do
the
will
of
his
Master
Vnder
his
go●ly
parents
he
had
liberty
to
do
his
heavenly
Fathers
will
,
and
it
is
a
branch
of
the
Fathers
will
,
that
he
should
be
subject
to
his
Parents
,
whose
duty
it
was
to
further
him
in
the
Service
of
his
heavenly
Father
.
Once
at
twelve
years
old
he
did
that
,
which
by
accident
did
not
a
little
trouble
his
Parents
for
the
present
,
but
Mary
so
laid
up
the
words
of
his
Apology
,
as
that
they
did
never
hinder
him
from
doing
his
heavenly
Fathers
business
,
but
further
him
therein
if
they
could
.
2.
He
had
no
need
to
be
a
Servant
under
tuition
,
to
teach
him
humility
and
subjection
,
he
needed
not
to
be
taught
by
any
humane
yoke
.
We
need
it
,
Lam.
3.27
It
is
good
for
us
to
bear
the
Yoke
of
Tuition
in
our
Youth
.
but
it
was
not
so
with
Iesus
Christ
his
heavenly
Fathers
will
and
command
were
enough
for
him
,
who
had
the
perfect
Image
of
God
,
and
without
the
least
stain
of
original
sin
.
3.
Because
these
three
kinds
of
Service
that
he
did
undergo
,
were
enough
to
sanctifie
all
kinds
and
degrees
of
service
,
for
us
who
need
the
tuition
of
such
a
yoke
,
because
our
nature
is
stained
with
original
sin
,
and
needeth
to
be
subdued
and
tamed
,
and
thereby
be
made
capable
of
Instruction
.
4.
Because
it
was
too
far
beneath
the
dignity
of
his
blessed
person
,
to
be
at
the
will
and
command
of
a
frail
man
,
which
his
godly
Parents
were
considerate
of
,
knowing
his
Divine
Offspring
he
was
subject
to
them
by
his
own
voluntary
obedience
to
the
fifth
command
of
God
,
but
never
needed
to
put
forth
any
parental
power
of
command
over
him
.
5.
It
was
Infinite
humility
in
him
to
condescend
to
the
lowest
order
of
men
,
in
taking
the
form
of
a
Servant
,
though
he
did
not
stoop
down
to
the
lowest
degree
of
that
order
,
especially
considering
that
it
would
have
hindred
him
from
doing
the
will
of
the
Father
that
sent
him
.
Quest.
But
why
did
I●sus
Christ
stoop
so
low
as
to
take
the
form
of
a
Servant
.
Answ.
1.
Iesus
Christ
took
the
form
of
a
Servant
to
satisfie
Divine
justice
in
submitting
himself
to
bear
the
punishment
due
to
the
sin
of
man
.
Sin
stripped
man
of
his
dignity
,
dominion
,
Lordship
and
Rule
,
and
cast
him
into
a
state
of
servitude
,
the
sting
&
curse
of
this
punishment
Christ
suffered
purely
perfectly
,
and
meritoriously
,
to
the
full
satisfaction
of
divine
justice
,
&
thereby
hath
took
out
the
sting
&
curse
of
servitude
,
he
bore
that
in
his
own
person
,
to
bear
it
off
,
and
heave
it
away
from
us
.
This
is
one
part
of
his
passive
obedience
to
bear
the
punishment
of
servitude
,
this
is
one
part
of
his
passive
obedience
which
did
run
through
the
whole
course
of
his
life
,
and
especially
in
the
whole
course
of
his
private
life
,
for
it
was
otherwise
in
some
respects
in
the
time
of
his
publick
Ministry
.
2.
Because
hereby
he
sanctified
the
state
of
Service
for
us
,
that
it
might
be
medicinal
and
wholsome
for
us
,
to
humble
us
,
sanctifie
us
and
do
us
good
.
The
curse
being
removed
,
it
is
become
a
Gospel
rod
,
and
a
yoke
which
we
have
need
of
,
especially
in
our
youth
,
and
Iesus
Christ
hath
fitted
it
to
do
us
good
.
3.
Iesus
Christ
took
the
form
of
a
servant
,
that
he
might
perform
that
active
obedience
to
the
Law
of
God
,
which
that
order
doth
owe
unto
the
Law
,
and
thereby
merit
that
reward
,
that
part
of
the
Inheritance
which
was
by
the
covenant
of
works
,
due
unto
the
perfect
observation
of
those
Laws
.
And
this
merit
of
Iesus
Christ
is
imputed
to
us
that
believe
,
by
the
covenant
of
grace
.
So
that
by
taking
the
form
of
a
servant
Iesus
Christ
performed
both
active
&
passive
obedience
to
God
,
the
fruit
whereof
is
made
ours
by
the
Gospel
.
Jesus
Christ
did
fulfil
all
righteousness
.
Mat.
3.15
.
wherof
this
is
no
small
part
,
in
his
obedience
to
the
fifth
commandment
.
4.
Iesus
Christ
took
the
form
of
a
Servant
▪
and
did
both
suffer
and
do
all
the
duty
that
belonged
thereunto
,
to
purchase
Gospel
freedome
for
us
,
that
through
faith
in
Iesus
Christ
we
may
be
freed
from
the
evil
of
servitude
,
and
be
made
free
Servants
of
God
through
Iesus
Christ
.
But
we
must
remember
that
Iesus

freeth
us
from
the
evil
of

not
from
the
state
of
servitude

THe
forenamed
Instances
of
the
Sufferings
of
Jesus
Christ
did
manifestly
run
through
the
whole
course
of
his
life
,
all
the
time
of
his
youth
,
which
were
so
farr
as

in

wherein

to
the
Law

he

alwayes
in

The
Instances

such
was

doth
hold
forth
that
part
of
the
Humiliation
of
Jesus
Christ
in
submitting
himself
to
bodily
infirmityes
and
diseases
,
which
he
took
,
and
bare
,
he
took
our
griefs
and
pains
for
our
sakes
,
and
bare
them
in
our
stead
.
It
is
an
eminent
part
of
his
sufferings
clearly
held
forth
in
the
Prophesies
;
and
testified
in
the
Gospel
History
of
him
.
it
is
a
point
of
great
use
and
comfort
to
the
Church
,
that
this
sharp
Rod
is
managed
in
the
hand
of
a
merciful
,
tender
hearted
,
yea
,
and
experienced
Mediator
.
Jesus
Christ
his
body
was
mortal
,
which
is
evident
by
this
,
that
he
dyed
,
yea
,
he
came
into
the
world
to
dye
,
and
therefore
took
a
mortal
body
,
capable
to
perform
that
great
service
,
which
he
came
to
do
.
The
body
of
Adam
in
Innocency
was
capable
of
Immortality
,
but
by
sin
he
became
mortal
,
Rom.
5.12
.
as
by
one
man
sin
entered
into
the
world
,
and
death
by
sin
,
so
death
passed
upon
all
men
,
for
that
all
have
sinned
.
Though
the
person
of
Jesus
Christ
was
without
sin
,
yet
he
took
a
mortal
body
,
that
it
might
be
a
fit
sacrifice
for
our
sin
,
which
was
laid
upon
him
by
imputation
,
being
our
Mediator
,
his
body
was
made
as
Adams
body
was
,
out
of
preexisting
matter
,
and
was
therefore
mortal
.
After
his
Resurrection
,
his
body
is
Immortal
.
His
mortal
hath
put
on
Immortality
,
his
glorious
immortal
body
is
set
down
at
the
right
hand
of
God
.
And
he
will
change
our
vile
bodyes
after
the
Resurrection
,
and
make
them
like
to
his
glorious
body
,
Phil.
3.21
.
After
the
Resurrection
the
bodyes
of
all
mankind
shall
be
Immortal
both
good
&
bad
.
The
power
of
mercy
will
preserve
the
bodies
of
the
Elect
,
to
be
eternal
monuments
&
objects
of
mercy
,
and
Subjects
wherein
mercy
shall
shine
forth
unto
all
Eternity
.
The
bodyes
of
the
wicked
shall
be
preserved
in
Immortality
,
to
be
Vessels
of
wrath
,
in
which
the
justice
of
God
will
shine
forth
to
all
Eternity
.
Thus
all
humane
bodyes
are
capable
of
Immortality
,
and
shall
be
made
so
to
be
by
the
power
of
mercy
and
justice
,
which
Attributes
of
God
are
to
be
glorified
in
mankind
for
ever
.
This
Immortality
of
the
body
of
Jesus
Christ
,
was
a
great
and
fundamental
infirmity
of
his
humane
nature
,
and
a
fruit
of
our
sin
imputed
to
him
as
our
Mediator
,
and
this
made
him
capable
of
such
other
infirmityes
as
might
accomplish
his
death
;
So
that
it
was
through
the
infirmity
of
a
mortal
body
that
he
dyed
,
2
Cor.
13.4
.
for
though
he
was
crucified
through
weakness
,
yet
he
liveth
in
the
power
of
God
;
his
humane
nature
subject
to
our
infirmityes
,
made
him
mortal
,
Divine
power
maketh
him
Immortal
.
Though
Jesus
Christ
took
many
infirmityes
,
sicknesses
,
weaknesses
incident
to
a
mortal
body
,
yet
he
dyed
not
by
any
sickness
,
he
dyed
a
violent
death
,
being
in
his
full
strength
.
Their
cruelty
and
harsh
usage
of
his
mortal
body
forced
(
with
his
voluntary
consent
,
Joh.
10.18
.
)
a
separation
of
his
Soul
from
his
body
,
by
much
and
cruel
whippings
,
they
made
deep
and
long
Furrows
in
his
back
,
by
piercing
his
head
with
Crowns
of
thorns
,
knocked
on
with
a
staff
,
by
abusing
him
all
night
,
they
gave
him
no
rest
.
The
Rulers
had
him
to
do
till
after
Cocks
crowing
,
then
they
went
to
their
rest
,
if
their
malitious
minds
would
suffer
them
to
sleep
;
but
they
committed
our
blessed
Lord
Jesus
to
Souldiers
and
the
rude
Rabble
,
who
abused
him
all
the
night
,
in
the
morning
they
committed
him
to
Pilate
,
who
finally
condemned
him
,
and
delivered
him
to
be
crucified
.
They
oppressed
his
spent
mortal
body
by
bearing
his
cross
,
they
nailed
his
hands
,
&
stretched
his
body
,
till
all
his
joints
were
loosed
.
At
that
stretch
they
nailed
his
feet
,
they
pierced
his
side
with
a
Spear
,
and
let
out
his
life
blood
All
these
and
sundry
more
of
the
last
sufferings
of
our
Lord
,
shall
hereafter
(
the
Lord
assisting
)
in
their
place
and
order
be
opened
;
this
may
suffice
at
present
to
shew
,
that
the
body
of
Jesus
Christ
had
the
infirmity
of
mortality
,
and
dyed
with
grief
and
pain
,
a
violent
death
,
he
dyed
not
of
any
sickness
.
Furthermore
in
this
state
of
his
mortal
body
when
he
was
in
the
flesh
,
he
took
many
other
infirmityes
of
a
mortal
body
,
which
are
sinless
punishments
of
the
sin
of
man
,
which
may
be
gathered
from
Gen.
3.17
,
18
,
19.
where
the
commination
,
and
infliction
of
them
is
expressed
as
the
product
of
our
sin
.
To
eat
in
sorrow
to
labour
with
disappointment
,
and
to
labour
with
sweat
,
until
these
painful
labours
,
sorrows
,
sweatings
and
disappointments
have
brought
us
to
the
dust
,
out
of
which
we
were
made
.
These
infirmityes
of
humane
nature
may
comprehend
all
those
infirmityes
usually
instanced
in
by
Divines
,
as
hunger
,
thirst
,
weariness
,
sleepyness
,
&c.
The
mortal
body
of
Jesus
Christ
was
susteined
(
as
our
bodyes
be
)
by
eating
,
drinking
,
motion
,
labour
and
rest
,
in
all
which
respects
our
fallen
estate
feeleth
much
punishment
,
and
the
matter
of
sicknesses
is
usually
contracted
,
by
eating
and
drink●●
,
by
heats
and
colds
.
As
these
natural
passions
and
infirmityes
have
in
them
a
●
less
punishment
of
sin
,
which
Jesus
Christ
suffered
;
So
why
may
not
we
say
,
at
the
animal
passions
and
infirmityes
have
in
them
a
sinless
punishment
of
sin
?
as
anger
,
grief
,
love

he
looked
on

,
but
without

of

Whether
Jesus
Christ
suffered
any
sinless
punishment
in
these
animal
passions
,
I
dare
not
be
bold
ro
affirm
.
But
that
Christ
hath
sanctified
them
by
his
experience
for
us
,
that
I
may
boldly
affirm
.
There
be
infirmityes
of
mans
mortal
body
instanced
in
the
Gospel
,
and
expressed
by
the
same
word
,
of
which
sort
Christ
took
not
,
as
Luk.
13.11
,

,

a
woman

with
a
Spirit
of
infirmity

years
,
and
Ioh.

.
a
man
lying
with
an
infirmity
thirty
eight
years
,
but
Jesus
Christ
took
no
such
infirmity
as
corrupted
his
humane
body
,
or
disabled
him
from
his
work
and
service
,
from
doing
the
will
of
the
Father
.
But
such
infirmity
as
made
him
preach
,
pray
,
tra●ail
with
much
pain
,
grief
and
infirmity
,
in
doing
and
fulfilling
his
Fathers
work
and
will
,
that
we
have
ground
to
believe
;
and
it
is
a
great
comfort
unto
s●ch
ser●ants
of
God
as
do
work
with
much
pain
,
that
labour
in
the
service
of
God
with
an
aking
head
,
pained
limbs
,
feeble
spirits
,
crazy
bodyes
and
lungs
,
unto
such
it
is
an
unspeakable
comfort
,
that
Christ
did
fulfil
his
Fathers
will
,
and
obey
his
commands
under
much
infirmity
,
and
by
experience
knoweth
how
to
pit
such
as
do
so
s
rve
the
Lord
.
Which
is
the
case
of
most
of
Gods
dear
Children
,
at
sometimes
or
other
,
and
some
constantly
.
It
is
an
antient
question
among
Di●ines
whether
Iesus
Christ
did
submit
himself
to
bodily
sickness
?
some
are
of
apprehension
h●
did
not
,
and
some
are
of
apprehension
he
did
,
among
whom
I
am
;
and
with
submi●●ion
I
shall
be
bold
to
offer
my
grounds
for
it
.
1.
It
is
expresly
affirmed
in
the
Prophesy
,
Psal.
41.8
,
9.
an
evil
dis●ase
(
a
thing
of
Belial
)
cleaveth
fast
unto
him
(
as
the
Viper
did
to
the
hand
of
Paul
,
Act.
●8
3
,
4
,
5
,
6.
)
and
now
that
he
lyeth
,
he
shall
rise
up
no
mor●
,
some
such
sharp
distemp●r
fell
upon
him
as
forced
him
to
lye
down
,
and
his
Enemies
hoped
that
he
should
dy
of
it
,
but
they
were
mistaken
;
as
the
Barbarians
were
about
Paul
,
when
the
Viper
fastened
on
his
hand
,
but
an
evil
disease
did
befall
him
,
it
is
not
said
what
it
was
,
but
it
was
dangerous
,
sharp
and
threatning
.
When
he
had
been
hot
and
spent
all
day
with
preaching
and
travail
,
and
then
be
all
night
on
a
mountain
at
prayer
,
what
aguish
or
feaverish
fits
it
might
expose
his
mortal
body
unto
,
or
what
aches
and
pains
in
his
limbs
,
head
,
jaws
,
sinews
,
or
the
like
discomposure
of
his
health
it
might
bring
,
we
do
experience
in
our
mortal
bodyes
often
,
and
so
might
he
,
yea
he
did
expose
his
body
to
more
labour
and
hardship
both
by
night
and
by
day
,
then
we
do
.
That
this
Prophesy
of
the
Psalmist
is
spoken
of
Christ
is
most
evident
;
because
the
ninth
verse
which
is
part
of
the
sentence
addeth
another
aggravation
unto
the
affliction
.
Yea
,
mine
own
familiar
friend
in
whom
I
trusted
(
viz.
with
the
bag
)
who
eat
of
my
bread
,
hath
lift
up
his
heel
against
me
,
this
part
of
the
sentence
Christ
himself
doth
apply
to
himself
and
Iudas
,
Ioh.
13.18
.
he
that
eateth
bread
with
me
hath
lift
up
his
heel
against
me
.
So
that
we
cannot
doubt
that
the
ninth
verse
belongeth
to
Iesus
Christ
,
then
why
not
the
eight
verse
?
if
the
latter
part
of
the
sentence
be
spoken
of
Christ
,
why
not
the
former
part
?
Iesus
Christ
doth
most
perfectly
know
the
meaning
of
the
Scriptures
,
therefore
by
the
sure
Testimony
of
Christ
,
that
Prophesy
in
the
Psalms
belongeth
unto
him
,
so
that
some
ill
disease
befel
him
,
so
as
that
for
the
present
he
kept
his
bed
upon
it
.
2.
As
it
is
expresly
affirmed
in
the
Prophesy
,
so
it
is
expresly
affirmed
by
Mathew
,
Chap.
8.17
.
himself
took
our
infirmityes
and
bare
our
sicknesses
.
3.
Because
sicknesses
are
a
great
part
of
the
sinless
punishment
that
is
inflicted
on
man
for
sin
,
it
is
not
a
sin
to
be
sick
,
but
it
is
a
punishment
of
sin
,
and
Chri●t
hath
borne
all
the
sinless
punishments
of
sin
,
Isai.
53.3
.
a
man
of
sorrows
,
acquainted
with
griefs
,
here
be
two
significant
words
,
that
shew
that
it
was
the
general
and
ordinary
frame
of
his
mortal
body
.
the
words
doe
signifie
such
sorrows
,
and
griefs
as
arise
and
spring
from
sickness
,
and
from
a
crazy
state
of
body
;
which
notwithstanding
he
did
not
abate
any
labour
,
travail
,
work
,
or
hardship
,
that
lay
before
him
,
and
that
he
had
a
calling
to
attend
,
whereby
he
might
do
good
to
others
in
Soul
or
body
,
Act.
10.38
.
he
went
about
doing
good
,
and
healing
others
,
yet
this
he
did
in
much
pain
,
grief
,
and
infirmity
,
he
was
accustomed
so
to
do
.
4.
It
is
of
great
comfort
and
encouragement
to
the
dear
Servants
of
God
,
who
are
forced
so
to
do
,
unless
they
should
leave
the
work
and
Service
of
the
Lord
undone
;
they
cannot
forbear
and
withdraw
themselves
from
the
work
,
and
yet
must
perform
it
with
difficulty
through
pains
,
aches
,
weariness
hardship
,
and
sometimes
dangerous
adventures
,
in
which
cases
the
Servants
of
God
have
this
eminent
encouragement
,
that
Jesus
Christ
experienced
the
same
,
and
he
is
a
merciful
high
Priest
and
Mediator
,
to
pitty
,
help
,
relieve
and
comfort
such
of
his
Servants
as
are
faithful
to
do
his
Service
,
though
it
be
upon
such
hard
Terms
.
Such
as
think
Jesus
Christ
did
not
submit
himself
to
bodily
sickness
,
do
render
this
Reason
,
becaus●
he
healed
all
manner
of
diseases
in
others
,
and
if
he
had
been
sick
himself
,
they
would
have
said
unto
him
,
Physitian
h●al
thy self
,
or
would
have
said
,
it
is
a
sign
that
he
is
an
Impostor
,
a
deceiver
,
because
he
healeth
others
,
but
cannot
heal
himself
,
therefore
his
holy
wisdome
would
not
expose
himself
to
such
a
check
,
and
evil
construction
of
his
miraculous
healing
of
others
.
But
under
savour
I
see
not
force
in
this
Reason
,
because
though
he
was
sick
,
and
sometimes
so
sick
as
that
he
was
constrained
to
ly
by
it
,
and
so
that
his
Adversaries
knew
that
he
was
sick
,
yet
it
is
most
certain
that
he
did
heal
himself
and
rise
again
,
which
is
evident
by
this
that
he
dyed
not
of
any
sickness
or
disease
,
he
dyed
a
violent
death
,
by
the
cruelty
of
his
Enemies
.
Though
sometimes
they
understood
that
he
was
sick
,
yet
they
quickly
saw
him
up
again
,
and
about
his
heavenly
Fathers
business
,
he
did
not
tell
them
of
all
the
pains
and
aches
that
he
went
about
withal
,
it
was
enough
to
him
that
his
Father
saw
them
all
,
and
divine
justice
saw
how
holily
,
patiently
,
constantly
he
suffered
those
sinless
punishments
of
sin
,
and
was
fully
satisfied
in
his
right
,
pure
,
perfect
,
and
meritorious
su●ferings
therein
;
yea
,
it
is
like
that
Christ
did
not
tell
his
dearest
friends
of
what
pains
he
laboured
under
every
day
,
and
that
may
be
one
Reason
why
so
little
is
written
about
this
part
of
the
su●ferings
of
Jesus
Christ
,
he
gave
no
such
way
to
these
infirmityes
as
to
take
him
off
from
his
work
,
he
did
his
Fathers
work
though
he
laboured
with
great
pains
and
much
sense
of
his
infirmityes
.
Yea
,
it
is
a
proof
of
his
infinite
goodness
,
that
though
he
was
a
man
of
sorrows
and
acquainted
with
griefs
,
yet
ceased
not
,
he
failed
not
to
follow
God
fully
,
and
to
attend
,
to
perform
the
work
of
his
Father
which
he
sent
him
to
do
,
though
he
often
laboured
with
an
aking
head
,
pained
limbs
,
and
a
crazy
,
wearied
,
spent
body
,
hereby
setting
before
us
an
admirable
Example
of
patience
,
diligence
,
faithfulness
,
and
self
denyal
,
that
spared
not
his
own
body
,
though
full
of
infirmityes
to
do
good
to
others
,
and
to
do
and
suffer
what
God
called
him
to
do
and
suffer
,
with
what
difficulty
and
p●in
so
ever
he
performed
the
same
.
And
it
is
an
heavenly
encouragement
to
all
his
Servants
so
to
do
,
when
we
are
called
to
any
good
Service
,
do
it
,
though
we
suffer
much
pain
and
grief
in
doing
of
it
.
This
part
of
the
sufferings
of
Christ
may
be
further
illustrated
by
three
Propositions
,
1.
Proposition
,
all
bodily
diseases
,
infirmityes
,
sicknesses
,
griefs
,
aches
,
and
indispositions
,
are
punishments
of
the
sin
of
Adam
,
and
effects
of
Gods
wrath
and
curse
inflict●d
on
man
,
Gen.
2.17
.
in
dying
thou
shalt
dy
,
thou
shalt
dye
by
degrees
,
in
this
word
are
all
diseases
and
infirmityes
comprehended
,
and
are
threatned
,
yea
,
and
inflicted
,
executed
,
every
disease
,
ache
,
or
pain
,
is
a
drop
of
the
curse
inflicted
by
virtue
of
this
word
And
this
punishment
(
as
well
as
many
others
)
is
such
as
may
be
suffered
without
sin
,
by
our
Lord
Jesus
,
who
is
like
unto
us
in
such
infirmityes
yet
without
sin
,
Heb.
●
.
15
,
what
ever
Jesus
Christ
suffered
,
he
sinned
not
,
1
Pet.
2.22
.
he
did
no
sin
,
neither
was
guile
found
in
his
mouth
,
not
one
word
of
impatience
or
any
other
evil
,
what
ever
he
suffered
,
either
justly
as
from
the
hand
of
God
,
or
unjustly
from
the
hand
of
man
.
2.
Proposition
,
Jesus
Christ
drank
deep
of
this
cup
of
sorrows
,
griefs
,
infirmityes
,
deeper
then
any
man
in
the
world
ever
did
,
or
can
do
,
because
he
is
our
Mediator
,
which
no
other
man
or
creature
is
able
or
capable
to
be
;
he
is
Mediator
betwixt
God
and
man
,
he
suffered
all
that
was
due
to
man
,
fufficiently
,
virtually
,
though
effectually
he
su●●ered
all
that
was
due
to
all
the
Elect.
The
Lord
did
suffer
Divine
justice
to
inflict
all
that
was
due
,
and
he
did
so
,
till
he
was
fully
satisfied
,
Math.
3.17
.
I
am
well
pleased
,
no
man
save
Christ
ever
su●●ered
so
much
,
or
ever
shall
,
and
therefore
he
drank
deep
of
this
cup
of
sorrows
,
to
the
very
bottom
,
Isai.
53
,
3
,
4
,
5
,
6.
his
deep
drinking
of
this
cup
is
eminently
expressed
by
two
multiplying
words
.
1.
He
is
called
a
man
of
sorrows
,
as
if
he
were
made
up
of
sorrows
,
as
it
may
be
said
of
Paul
,
from
that
Text
,
2
Cor.
11.22
,
to
the
end
of
the
Chapter
,
he
was
a
man
of
labours
and
sorrows
.
So
,
and
infinitely
more
may
it
be
said
of
Jesus
Christ
,
he
is
a
man
of
labours
and
sorrows
.
2.
A
second
multiplying
word
is
,
[
acquainted
with
griefs
]
he
was
habituate
to
them
,
they
were
his
dayly
familiar
acquaintance
.
See
David
describing
a
familiar
acquaintance
,
Psal.
55.13
,
14.
they
eat
and
drank
together
,
they
went
to
Gods

Quest.
Why
did
Jesus
drink
so
deep
of
this
Cup
of
sorrows
,
griefs
,
&
infirmityes
?
Answ.
1.
Because
Jesus
Christ
doth
undertake
and
undergo
that
great
Office
of
a
Mediator
betwixt
God
and
man
,
to
reconcile
them
and
make
peace
,
and
that
he
might
pacifie
God
towards
man
,
he
must
pay
all
the
debt
that
man
oweth
to
God
,
he
must
satisfie
and
pacifie
Divine
justice
,
by
suffering
the
penaltyes
of
the
broken
Law
;
he
must
undergo
all
the
punishment
which
man
is
most
justly
obliged
to
suffer
,
man
himself
is
never
able
to
do
this
,
Jesus
Christ
,
God
and
man
he
only
is
able
,
and
is
willing
to
do
it
,
and
therefore
he
willingly
drinketh
that
Cup
of
Sufferings
to
the
very
bottom
,
Joh.
18.11
.
the
Cup
which
my
heavenly
Father
hath
given
me
to
drink
,
shall
I
not
drink
it
?
this
reason
is
general
to
all
the
sufferings
of
Christ
,
and
therefore
a
good
reason
of
this
part
of
his
sufferings
.
2.
Jesus
Christ
drank
deep
of
this
Cup
of
sorrows
and
infirmityes
,
that
he
might
in
his
own
person
experience
the
difficultyes
of
a
sickly
,
crazy
,
infirm
body
,
that
he
might
be
experimentally
moved
to
pitty
,
succour
,
bear
with
,
and
relieve
such
as
labour
under
such
a
state
and
condition
.
And
he
is
the
rather
careful
in
t●is
matter
,
because
it
is
the
g●neral
and
common
Rod
wherewith
he
doth
chastize
all
his
people
,
at
one
time
or
other
;
sicknesses
are
common
to
all
,
and
in
all
Ages
,
now
t●is
is
a
great
comfort
,
that
the
heart
of
Christ
is
tenderly
compassionate
over
all
that
are
in
such
a
condition
,
out
of
his
own
experience
.

Jesus
Christ
hath
drank
deep

take
the

and
curse
out
of
them
,
and
to
make
a
Rod
and
a
medicine
of
them
,
which
he
manag●th
with
his
own
hand
for
the
good
of
his
Children
,
by
this
means
he
hath
alwayes
a
Rod
ready
for
a
Child

needs
it

&
is
a
purge
ready
for
every
sick
Child

all
sickne●ses

are
at
his
command

he
saith
to
this
,
go
and
touch
that
Child
,
and
to
another
he
saith
it
is
enough

you
know
how
through
infirmity
of
the
flesh
I
preached
the
Gospel
to
you
at
the
first
;
and
my
Temptation
which
was
in
my
flesh
ye
despised
not
,
nor
rejected

but
received
me
as
an
Angel
of
God
,
even
as
Christ

.
And
we
see
that
Paul
was
under
some
sickly
,
craz●
infirmity
,
when
he
first
preached
at
Galatia
,
and
yet
he
favoured
not
his
flesh
,
he
spared
not
his
crazy
body
,
his
love
and
zeal
carried
him
out
to
preach
the
Gospel
effectually
to
them
notwithstanding
his
great
bodily
weakness
that
was
at
that
time
upon
him
,
now
this
humility
,
love
,
and
self
denyal
in
Paul
,
was
so
acceptable
and
powerful
with
them
,
and
so
prevailed
upon
their
hearts
,
that
they
looked
at
him
as
if
an
Angel
had
preached
to
them
,
yea
,
as
if
Christ
himself
had
come
unto
them
to
do
them
good
,
and
they
were
so
far
from
despising
or
rejecting
him
,
as
a
poor
,
crazy
,
sickly
man
,
as
that
they
would
(
if
possible
)
have
plucked
out
their
eyes
to
have
done
him
good
,
it
is
honourable

and

,
to
go
about
in
weariness
,
weakness
,

,
and

,
to
do

,
such
a
pattern
Jesus

hath
set
us
,
though
he
was
a

Jesus

suffered

abuses

,
to
set

Father

them
,
even
when
he
was
brought
as
a
Lamb
to

5.
Jesus
Christ
suffered
reproaches
to
sanctifie
them
,
that
he
by
his
love
and
wisdome
may
make
them
good
medicines
for
his
Church
,
his
Elect
,
it
is
a
very
sharp
Physick
,
but
Jesus
Christ
by
his
experience
knoweth
how
to
qualifie
and
commix
them
with
other
Ingredients
,
and
make
them
very
wholsome
and
operative
for
the
good
of
his
Elect
;
it
is
a
powerful
Ph●sick
to
purge
away
pride
,
to
hide
and
subdu●
it
,
and
to
teach
humility
and
meekness
,
which
are
very
n●edful
le●sons
for
Gods
people
to
learn
in
this
our
militant
condition
,
Jesus
Christ
by
his
Example
in
hearing
reproaches
doth
set
us
sundry
ne●df●l
lessons
to
learn
,
1.
We
must
learn
to
keep
a
strict
watch
o●er
our
whole
con●ersation
,
that
we
may
give
no
just
matter
or
occasion
.
We
must
cut
off
occasion
from
them
that
watch
for
it
,
if
there
be
a
cause
for
their
reproach
we
loose
the
glory
of
our
suffering
,
1
Pet.
2.20
.
for
what
glory
is
it
;
if
when
you
be
buffeted
for
your
faults
,
ye
take
it
patiently
,
you
do
well
to
take
it
patiently
,
and
you
may
find
inward
comfort
upon
your
humiliation
,
and
outward
pitty
,
but
there
is
no
Chri
●ian
glory
upon
such
deserved
sufferings
;
they
may
sin
in
rigour
,
and
we
may
do
virtuously
in
exercising
patience
;
but
we
loose
the
glory
of
such
Sufferings
,
because
they
are
just
.
2.
This
pattern
of
Christ
his
patient
s●
fering
reproaches
doth
minister
a
lesson
of
comfort
to
such
as
suffer
unjustly
,
because
your
Innocent
and
holy
conversation
doth
confute
those
false
and
unjust
aspersions
,
so
did
Christ
confute
those
that
reproached
him
,
his
Innocency
so
shined
,
that
even
Pilate
himself
did
acquit
Jesus
Christ
from
such
aspersions
as
they
cast
upon
him
,
and
he
saw
plainly
that
it
was
his
Adversaryes
malice
,
and
not
his
desert
,
Math.
27.18
.
for
he
knew
that
it
was
for
envy
that
they
had
delivered
him
;
no
wise
man
will
believe
such
reproaches
as
the
Innocency
of
the
party
doth
sufficiently
confute
,
without
any
words
of
Apology
,
Innocency
it self
speaks
a
consolation
,
and
maketh
the
Arrows
to
fall
&
light
on
their
own
pate

Daniel
is
a
famous
Example
of
an
innocent
sufferer
,
Dan.
6.5
Then
said
these
men
we
shall
not
find
any
occasion
against
this
Daniel
,
except
we
find
it
against
him
concerning
the
Law
of
his
God
,
and
he
pleaded
his
innocency

the
King

and
also

Such
was
the
pattern
of
Jesus
Christ

Again
,
it
is
a
matter
of
great
consolation
and
holy
joy
,
to
suffer
any
thing
for
the
sake

Jesus
Christ

by
such
wrongs

we
glory
in
Tribulations
,
knowing
that
Tribulation
worketh
patience
,
and
patience
experience
,
and
experience
hope
,
and
hope
maketh
not
ashamed
,
because
the
love
of
God
is
shed
abroad
in
our
hearts
by
the
Holy
Ghost
which
is
given
to
us
.
The
tryal
of
our
Faith
is
more
pretious
then
gold
,
and
when
a
believer
is
reproached
,
Faith
will
make
him
wash
his
hands
in
Innocency
;
when
men
fly
upon
us
in
their
wrath
,
Faith
will
fly
to
Christ
who
hath
taken
away
the
sting
of
them
,
and
will
turn
them
to
prayers
;
and
God
will
make
them
wholsome
Physick
for
us
.
Yea
,
Faith
will
make
us
to
imitate
our
Lord
Jesus
,
who
forgave
his
Persecutors
and
prayed
for
them
.
And
among
many
benefits
that
believers
gain
by
suffering
the
wounds
of
evil
tongues
,
this
is
a
chief
one
,
that
he
will
learn
to
watch
and
govern
his
own
tongue
,
finding
by
experience
the
mischief
of
evil
tongues
,
he
will
beware
of
doing
the
like
to
others
▪
he
will
teach
his
tongue
to
bless
when
they
curse
,
he
will
beware
of
slaining
his
Religion

by
an
unbridled
tongue

The
Sufferings

the
ungrateful
disacceptance
of
the
good
works
which
he
did

perform

so
many

as
Jesus

ungratefully
disaccepted

that

It
is
unutterable
how
many
good
works

even
visible

bodily
good

all
men

these
invisible

But
what
acceptance
did
he

among
them
?

Luk.

All
they
in
the
Synagogue
that
heard
these
things
,
were
filled
with
wrath
,
and
rose
up
,
and
thrust
him
out
of
the
city
,
and
led
him
to
the
brow
of
a
hill
,
whereon
the
city
was
built
,
that
they
might
cast
him
down
headlong
.
Though
he
taught
them
the
heavenly
Doctrine
of
the
Gospel
,
and
confirm●d
his
Doctrine
with
many
Miracles
,
yet
they
believed
not

Though
he
had
done
so
many
Miracles
before

yet
they
believed
not
on

yea
they
went
about
to
stone
him
.
Joh.

Then
took
they
up
stones
to
cast
at
him
:
but
Iesus
hid
himself
,
and
went
out
of
the
temple
,
going
through

of
them

and
so
passed

Iesus
Christ
suffered
himself
to
be

by

he
suffered

Then
went
the
Pharisees
&
took
counsel
how
they
might
intangle
him
in
his
talk
,
&
they
sent
out
their
Disciples
with

Herodians
saying
,
Master
,

know
that
thou
art
true
,
and
teachest
the
way
of
God
in
Truth
,
neither
carest
thou
for
any
man

for
thou

tell
us
therefore
what
thinkest
thou
,
is
it
lawful
to

and
they
watched
him

and
sent
forth
spyes

which
should
feign
themselves
just
men
,
that
they
might
take
hold
of

asked

Commandment
in

the

also
with

and
as
he
said
these
things
unto
them
,
the
Scribes
and
Pharisees
began
to
urge
him
vehemently
,
and
to
provoke
him
to
speak
of
many
things
,
laying
wait
for
him
and
seeking
to
catch
something
out
of
his
mouth
,
that
they
might
accuse
him
,
It
was
an
hour
of
great
Temptation
that
Jesus
Christ
was
in
!
He
also
suffered
himself
to
be
tempted
by
good
men
,
as
it
appeared
in
that
famous
Instance
of
Peter
.
Math.
16
,
22
,
23.
Peter
took
him
,
and
began
to
rebuke
him
,
saying
,
be
it
far
from
thee
Lord
,
that
shall
not
be
unto
thee
,
but
he
turned
,
and
said
unto
Peter
,
get
thee
behind
me
Satan
,
thou
art
an
offence
unto
me
,
for
thou
savourest
not
the
things
that
be
of
God
,
but
those
that
be
of
men
.
Jesus
Christ
suffered
himself
to
be
tempted
of
the
Devil
,
he
gave
Satan
leave
to
do
his
worst
against
him
.
The
time
when
he
entred
upon
this
horrible
conflict
was
,
so
soon
as
he
was
baptized
by
John
,
and
had
the
Spirit
descending
upon
him
like
a
Dove
,
and
had
that
Divine
Testimony
from
Heaven
.
This
is
my
beloved
Son
,
in
whom
I
am
well
pleased
.
These
things
might
have
terrified
and
disanimated
Satan
from
attempting
him
with
his
carnal
&
worldly
Temptations
,
but
his
envy
&
hatred
against
Christ
did
rather
incense
provoke
,
and
embolden
him
to
assault
him
,
having
leave
given
him
to
do
his
worst
against
him
.
Jesus
Christ
was
carried
by
the
Spirit
into
the
Wilderness
to
be
tempted
,
he
was
not
carryed
by
a
transporting
act
of
the
Spirit
,
but
by
a
spiritual
Rule
and
power
extraordinary
,
he
was
now
entering
upon
the
great
work
of
his
publick
Ministry
,
he
saw
meet
to
begin
that
extraordinary
work
with
an
extraordinary
Fa●t
;
to
spend
forty
dayes
(
as
Moses
did
in
the
Mount
w●th
God
)
with
God
in
prayer
.
Now
being
in
the
wilderness
the
Devil
had
him
alone
,
separated
from
all
humane
communion
,
or
assistance
,
o●
diversion
,
he
was
where
no
living
Creature
was
,
save
Beasts
of
the
wilderness
,
Mark
.
1.13
.
he
was
with
the
wild
Beasts
,
but
the
Angels
ministred
unto
him
,
and
how
far
they
were
a
bridle
to
Satan
,
in
assaulting
him
,
it
is
not
said
,
he
began
his
Ministry
with
fasting
and
prayer
,
and
with
suffering
Temptation
,
for
this
was
the
season
that
Satan
had
his
Commission
to
tempt
him
.
He
was
tempted
all
these
forty
dayes
and
forty
nights
,
while
he
was
in
fasting
and
prayer
,
for
Mark.
1.13
.
he
was
there
in
the
wilderness
forty
dayes
tempted
of
Satan
,
and
Luk.
4.2
.
being
forty
dayes
tempted
of
the
Devil
.
What
conflicts
and
Temptations
he
underwent
all
that
time
,
is
not
expressed
,
and
therefore
not
necessary
for
us
to
know
,
nor
fit
to
enquire
,
where
God
is
silent
;
it
becometh
us
to
lay
our
hand
upon
our
mouth
,
secret
things
belong
unto
the
Lord
,
revealed
things
belong
unto
us
,
and
to
our
Children
,
Deut.
29.29
.
So
much
of
this
part
of
the
sufferings
of
Christ
as
is
necessary
for
us
to
know
is
revealed
in
the
Harmony
of
those
three
Evangelists
before
recited
,
of
which
I
shall
now
say
but
little
.
Here
be
three
,
yea
,
four
Temptations
recorded
as
an
Epitome
of
all
sorts
of
Temptations
,
wherewith
Satan
doth
usually
assault
the
Church
of
Christ
Jesus
.
These
are
all
fleshly
and
worldly
Temptations
,
as
for
Temptations
of
envy
,
malice
,
revenge
,
and
such
like
,
they
are
the
frequent
Temptations
of
hypocrites
,
but
not
so
frequently
can
Satan
fasten
them
upon
sound
believers
,
in
whom
there
is
a
living
principle
of
love
.
These
Temptations
I
shall
touch
,
as
they
are
recorded
by
Mathew
.
1.
The
first
Temptation
is
to
sensual
pleasure
,
to
satisfie
the
natural
appetites
of
the
Flesh
,
all
of
them
being
comprehended
under
that
one
,
of
eating
,
which
is
the
strongest
and
most
vehement
Appetite
in
the
whole
wheel
of
nature
,
and
most
difficult
to
govern
:
govern
that
,
and
ye
govern
all
,
These
Appetites
of
the
flesh
are
the
dangerous
Temptations
of
this
last
and
best
Age
of
the
Church
in
this
militant
world
,
Luk.
21.34
.
take
heed
to
your selves
least
at
any
time
your
hearts
be
overcharged
with
surfeiting
&
drunkenness
,
&
cares
of
this
world
,
&
so
that
they
doe
come
upon
you
unawares
.
The
satisfying
of
these
Appetites
were
the
ruine
of
the
old
world
Math.
24.37
,
38
,
39.
But
as
the
dayes
of
Noah
were
,
so
shall
also
the
coming
of
the
Son
of
men
be
,
for
as
in
the
dayes
that
were
before
the
flood
,
they
were
eating
and
drinking
,
marrying
and
giving
in
marriage
until
the
day
that
Noah
entered
into
the
Ark
,
and
knew
not
until
the
flood
came
and
took
them
all
away
,
so
shall
also
the
coming
of
the
Son
of
man
be
.
Iesus
Christ
hath
fought
this
field
for
us
,
and
conquered
Satan
in
all
these
kinds
of
Temptations
,
all
Temptations
unto
any
kind
of
Sensuality
are
conquered
by
Iesus
Christ
,
who
hath
both
conquered
them
in
his
combate
,
and
set
us
an
holy
and
powerful
pattern
,
how
we
should
do
the
same
.
2.
The
second
sort
of
Temptations
which
Iesus
Christ
did
conflict
with
,
&
conquer
is
fear
,
which
layeth
Faith
prostrate
,
and
raiseth
unbelief
to
use
carnal
wisdom
and
shifts
to
help
our selves
,
and
stirreth
up
carnal
confidence
and
presumption
in
a
misapplyed
promise
,
which
is
a
very
dangerous
Temptation
to
a
believer
.
This
Temptation
of
fear
gave
a
great
foil
to
the
Faith
of
Abraham
,
both
in
Egypt
and
in
Gerar
,
in
saying
his
wife
was
his
sister
out
of
fear
,
and
in
like
manner
was
the
Faith
of
Isaac
foyled
.
But
David
was
a
gallant
conquerour
in
this
point
,
that
would
not
touch
Saul
,
when
the
Providence
of
God
delivered
him
,
or
exposed
him
into
his
hand
,
no
not
to
gain
a
Kingdome
by
an
indirect
means
:
against
this
Temptation
of
fear
,
Iesus
Christ
hath
diligently
charged
and
fenced
the
Church
,
Math.
10.26
,
28
,
31
,
33.
Luk.
12.32
.
and
in
many
other
places
,
and
by
his
Conflict
with
this
sort
of
Temptations
he
hath
both
conquered
Satan
for
us
,
and
hath
set
us
an
heavenly
pattern
how
we
should
conquer
them
also
,
A
third
and
fourth
sort
of
Temptations
.
This
Temptation
is
double
,
the
bait
is
Worldly
riches
and
glory
,
to
satisfye
those
spiritual
sins
of
Covetousness
,
Ambition
and
Pride
,
which
are
the
filth
and
off-spring
of
mans
lost
Dominion
.
Satan
presented
a
sense-ravishing
,
though
but
an
imaginary
glimpse
of
all
the
worlds
glory
.
Luk.
4.5
.
it
was
done
in
a
moment
of
time
:
but
he
endeavoured
to
set
on
as
ravishing
an
impression
upon
his
Phancy
as
he
could
,
to
raise
in
him
a
Lust
and
longing
after
such
another
sight
,
and
especially
to
enjoy
that
gallant
thing
which
he
had
seen
.
We
are
apt
to
be
taken
and
ravished
with
such
glimpses
,
that
we
are
ready
to
run
the
greatest
hazzards
in
the
world
to
enjoy
that
object
.
Men
are
sometimes
so
taken
and
ravished
with
a
glimpse
of
an
object
of
Lust
,
as
David
was
:
but
more
frequently
and
violently
with
objects
(
especially
if
attainable
)
of
Riches
,
Gain
,
Profit
,
Honour
,
to
satisfie
Covetousness
Ambition
,
Pride
,
Worldly
greatness
:
and
upon
this
account
,
will
be
hired
and
allured
from
the
Worship
and
Service
of
God
,
and
Communion
of
Gods
people
therein
:
as
Lot
was
,
who
being
ravished
with
the
riches
and
fertility
of
the
Plains
of
Sodom
,
was
content
,
yea
chose
to
part
with
Abrahams
Family
,
and
communion
in
the
worship
and
service
of
God
there
exercised
,
and
to
goe
unto
Sodom
and
to
live
among
them
.
How
often
have
we
seen
men
enamoured
with
a
good
Farm
(
as
they
esteemed
and
fancied
it
)
for
the
enjoyment
of
which
,
they
have
left
the
Neighbourhood
,
and
communion
of
Saints
,
and
of
the
Church
,
and
gone
to
live
alone
in
a
wilderness
,
where
they
are
compassed
about
with
their
own
land
and
Beasts
.
Yea
such
is
the
power
of
this
Bait
,
that
the
hook
within
will
catch
and
engage
them
,
not
only
to
part
from
the
true
worship
of
God
,
but
to
give
themselves
up
to
Devil-worship
.
As
Demas
forsook
Paul
and
the
Gospel
,
and
imbraced
the
present
world
,
to
obtain
a
great
Living
,
to
be
a
Priest
in
an
idol
Temple
,
as
Ecclesiastical
History
informeth
us
.
And
how
many
in
our
dayes
,
are
hired
against
their
light
,
from
the
Truth
,
and
Protestant
Religion
,
unto
Popery
by
a
fat
Bishoprick
,
a
Cardinals
cap
,
a
tripple
crown
?
And
thus
the
Devil
thought
to
hire
Jesus
Christ
to
Devil-worship
,
by
a
false
pretence
,
that
he
had
power
to
make
him
possessor
of
all
that
glory
,
wherof
he
had
given
him
such
a
ravishing
glimpse
.
But
Jesus
Christ
hath
fought
this
great
Battel
,
and
conquered
the
Devil
,
and
all
these
kinds
of
Temptations
for
us
,
and
come
off
Conquerour
,
and
set
us
a
pattern
how
we
may
doe
so
also
.
From
this
admirable
History
of
Jesus
Christ
his
suffering
himself
to
be
tempted
by
the
Devill
,
even
to
the
uttermost
of
his
power
and
skill
,
we
may
gather
up
some
General
Considerations
.
First
.
See
the
marvellous
power
of
fictitious
Imaginations
,
and
figments
of
the
mind
.
What
strong
conceptions
and
mental
productions
of
Sin
they
fill
the
Souls
of
men
withall
.
They
prevailed
not
so
far
with
Jesus
Christ
as
to
pollute
him
,
but
to
tempt
him
to
the
uttermost
.
Mad
men
doe
many
times
speak
out
their
mental
fictions
and
conceptions
:
but
sober
men
have
more
command
over
themselves
,
than
to
vent
and
speak
out
what
is
boyling
in
their
hearts
.
But
the
thoughts
and
figments
of
the
mind
are
seldome
quiet
,
unless
they
be
overpowered
by
a
soul-ruling
imployment
and
Spirit
.
The
presence
and
Worship
of
God
should
over-bear
them
,
and
often
doth
:
Yet
vanity
of
mind
,
running
after
these
mental
figments
,
is
a
mournfull
complaint
of
Gods
Children
,
as
being
a
troublesome
vexatious
sore
,
and
bitter
interruption
,
even
in
our
best
Services
:
and
well
if
this
be
bitter
!
they
doe
the
less
hurt
,
they
are
most
pernicious
when
they
are
sweet
,
pleasant
,
delightfull
.
These
kind
of
Temptations
hath
Jesus
Christ
experienced
and
conquered
,
he
was
now
exercised
in
an
extraordinary
duty
of
fasting
and
prayer
,
at
his
making
entrance
upon
his
publick
Minis●ry
,
and
lo
,
what
interruption
he
met
with
by
these
fictitious
imaginations
and
figments
which
Satan
assaulted
him
withal
.
But
praised
be
his
grace
,
he
hath
conquered
them
for
our
great
encouragement
and
advantage
.
2.
We
see
the
great
power
Satan
hath
over
the
minds
and
phansies
of
men
,
by
these
fictitious
imaginations
,
and
fgments
,
he
can
transport
us
up
and
down
in
the
world
,
as
he
listeth
,
to
suit
and
to
promote
his
Temptations
.
Jesus
Christ
suffered
himself
,
at
this
time
of
his
Temptation
,
to
be
transported
by
Satan
.
One
while
he
was
transported
on
to
the
top
of
one
of
the
Pinnacles
of
the
Temple
,
and
there
was
affected
and
terrified
with
fear
.
This
was
a
mental
figment
,
which
Jesus
Christ
suffered
Satan
to
inject
into
his
holy
mind
,
that
he
might
experience
such
Temptations
,
and
conquer
them
for
us
.
So
likewise
when
he
transported
him
into
an
exceeding
high
mountain
,
and
there
shewed
him
all
the
Kingdomes
of
the
World
,
and
the
glory
thereof
;
this
was
but
a
fiction
,
a
figment
and
imagination
,
which
Satan
(
having
permission
)
injected
into
his
holy
mind
,
for
it
is
most
certain
,
that
there
is
no
such
mountain
in
the
world
,
where
such
an
object
is
to
be
seen
,
much
less
in
a
moment
of
time
to
be
performed
,
as
Luke
saith
it
was
,
Luk.
4.5
.
therefore
these
Temptations
of
mental
figments
,
and
vanity
of
mind
,
which
were
(
doubtless
)
no
small
interruption
to
his
holy
heart
,
in
that
holy
service
and
worship
he
was
about
.
But
blessed
be
his
Name
,
as
he
hath
experienced
our
Temptations
,
which
are
such
a
sad
and
doleful
annoyance
to
us
,
so
he
hath
conquered
them
for
us
,
and
set
us
a
pattern
how
we
should
do
so
also
.
3
We
see
the
great
subtlety
and
policy
of
Satan
,
to
watch
for
,
catch
,
and
lay
hold
on
,
and
improve
the
opportunity
,
when
his
Temptation
may
be
most
advantaged
,
to
take
place
and
prevail
.
1.
He
had
waited
forty
dayes
,
viz.
till
Jesus
was
an
hungry
,
before
he
assaulted
him
with
that
Temptation
,
to
satisfie
his
Appetite
,
though
by
unlawful
means
,
or
not
by
the
ordinary
means
.
The
order
of
the
time
of
these
Temptations
,
is
not
strictly
to
be
insisted
upon
,
as
appeareth
by
Luke
,
who
placeth
that
Temptation
second
,
which
Mathew
placeth
third
.
And
besides
,
this
Temptation
which
they
all
place
first
,
was
not
acted
till
the
end
of
the
forty
dayes
fasting
:
because
the
Text
saith
,
that
he
was
an
hungry
,
which
gave
Satan
his
opportunity
,
and
it
may
very
well
be
,
that
the
other
Temptations
which
are
recorded
,
were
acted
,
before
this
at
the
end
of
the
forty
dayes
,
for
the
Text
saith
,
that
he
was
tempted
forty
dayes
.
Satan
plyed
him
every
day
,
having
liberty
so
to
do
,
he
would
not
stay
till
the
forty
dayes
of
his
liberty
were
ended
,
before
he
began
his
Temptations
.
2.
When
he
had
brought
his
Phansy
into
an
apprehension
of
danger
then
he
stirs
up
fear
,
and
this
urges
to
approve
(
in
Phansy
)
some
unlawful
shift
to
avoid
the
danger
,
as
he
dealt
with
Abraham
,
to
devise
a
way
of
escape
on
,
or
upon
an
imagination
that
such
a
danger
might
befall
him
.
And
Satan
doth
sedulously
labour
to
put
us
upon
false
confidence
in
a
misapplyed
or
misinterpreted
promise
,
as
it
was
Josiahs
case
,
2
Chron.
34.28
.
he
had
this
promise
,
I
will
gather
thee
to
thy
Fathers
,
and
thou
shalt
be
gathered
to
thy
grave
in
peace
,
a
misinterpretation
of
this
promise
,
made
Josiah
over
bold
to
fight
against
Pharaoh
Netho
,
2
Chron.
35.20
,
ad
25.
where
he
was
slain
.
3.
When
he
had
tempted
him
with
the
most
ravishing
sight
of
the
worlds
glory
,
then
he
tempts
him
to
get
it
upon
any
Terms
,
even
to
take
it
at
the
usurping
hand
and
gift
of
the
Devil
,
and
to
do
homage
to
the
Devil
for
his
preferment
,
as
if
he
should
say
,
do
but
thank
me
,
and
acknowledge
me
so
far
,
and
I
will
give
thee
it
all
.
Men
will
do
any
thing
for
a
Kingdome
,
or
a
Popedome
,
&c.
but
Jesus
Christ
despised
them
all
,
and
hath
conquered
this
tickling
Temptation
.
4.
The
fourth
general
consideration
,
see
the
constant
way
by
which
the
Lord
Jesus
doth
answer
,
expel
,
and
conquer
every
kind
of
Temptation
,
viz.
by
resisting
it
by
the
Sword
of
the
Spirit
,
the
Word
of
God
.
The
Scripture
is
a
weapon
mighty
through
God
,
and
if
we
be
diligent
it
is
alwayes
ready
at
hand
,
for
our
use
and
defence
,
when
all
our
actions
and
conflicts
are
regulated
by
a
command
,
the
promise
will
ever
be
ready
to
assist
,
and
protect
us
.

the
powerful
Effect
of
a
pertinent
application
of
a
Scripture

our
management

the

resisting
of
Temptations
,
Jam.

.
resist
the
Devil
,
and
he
will
fly
from
you
,
The
Sword
of
the
Spirit
is
an
holy
weapon
,
that
he
dares
not
conflict
with
,
if
Satan
assault
thee
,
and
find
thee
well
armed
and
furnished
with
the
Scripture
,
he

Quest.
Why
did
Jesus
Christ
suffer
his
holy
,
pure
,
humane
nature
to
be
so
far
under
the
power
of
Satan
,
as
to
be
transported
in
such
an
hideous
manner
,
from
the
wilderness
to
the
City
,
to
the
Temple
,
to
the
top
of
a
Pinacle
,
to
the
top
of
an
high
mountain
,
and
there
to
be
deluded
with
a
vain
sight
?
Satan
hath
a
great
power
over
the
Phantasies
of
men
,
and
he
can
(
when
leave
is
given
unto
him
)
transport
their
Phantasies
and
imaginations
unto
such
strange
notions
and
Temptations
,
and
therefore
still
the
question
remaineth
,
why
did
our
Lord
Jesus
suffer
his
pure
mind
to
be
afflicted
with
such
transporting
Temptations
?
Answ.
1.
Because
this
is
a
great
part
of
the
punishment
due
unto
the
sin
of
man
,
to
be
given
up
unto
,
and
under
the
power
of
Satan
,
unto
his
seductions
and
Temptations
,
Eph.
2.2
.
in
times
past
ye
walked
according
to
the
course
of
this
world
,
according
to
the
Prince
of
the
power
of
the
Air
,
the
Spirit
that
now
worketh
in
the
Children
of
disobedience
,
&c
,
Act.
26.18
.
from
the
power
of
Satan
.
Mankind
are
lawful
Captives
to
justice
,
and
we
are
delivered
up
unto
Satan
to
be
our
jaylor
,
and
one
part
of
the
power
which
the
Goaler
hath
over
us
,
is
this
,
to
work
in
our
hearts
,
minds
,
Phantasies
and
affections
,
this
is
a
deep
and
dreadful
part
of
the
punishment
of
sin
,
our
mental
bondage
is
a
sore
bondage
;
there
is
abundantly
more
sin
committed
in
the
minds
,
thoughts
,
and
imagination
,
then
in
outward
actions
,
There
be
frequent
Murthers
,
Adulteries
,
Fornications
,
Thefts
,
Blasphemies
,
and
what
not
.
There
be
many
abominations
within
,
that
dare
not
look
out
,
Prov.
6.16
,
18.
there
be
seven
abominations
,
whereof
one
is
;
an
heart
that
deviseth
wicked
imaginations
,
at
the
day
of
Judgement
,
when
the
secrets
of
all
hearts
shall
be
opened
and
judged
,
there
will
be
abundance
more
work
in
judging
the
inward
sins
of
the
mind
and
heart
,
then
of
the
outward
sins
of
words
and
deeds
,
it
is
out
of
the
abundance
of
the
heart
that
the
mouth
doth
speak
,
our
slavedome
to
Satan
is
principally
in
our
minds
hearts
,
and
imaginations
.
Therefore
Jesus
Christ
suffered
this
punishment
to
the
full
,
so
far
as
it
could
be
suffered
with
Innocency
,
he
suffered
till
Justice
was
satisfied
,
he
gave
Satan
leave
to
do
his
worst
against
him
in
these
Temptations
,
as
he
did
at
his
last
sufferings
,
which
are
called
your
hour
and
power
of
darkness
,
at
this
time
of
Temptation
Satan
did
saucily
domineer
over
our
dear
Lord
,
abusing
his
Phantasie
and
Imagination
to
the
uttermost
of
his
skill
,
and
all
this
Jesus
Christ
suffered
in
our
stead
.
2.
By
his
suffering
of
Temptations
Iesus
Christ
hath
taken
away
the
sting
and
curse
,
and
condemning
power
out
of
all
our
Temptations
,
so
that
they
cannot
mortally
hurt
us
;
because
the
Law
is
satisfied
by
the
sufferings
of
Jesus
Christ
,
it
is
the
Law
that
gives
strength
to
sin
,
to
procure
punishment
,
1
Cor.
15.56
.
seeing
then
that
the
offence
of
the
Law
is
removed
by
the
sufferings
of
Jesus
Christ
,
the
mortal
power
of
Temptations
is
taken
away
,
Temptations
they
may
sorely
afflict
,
but
they
cannot
kill
and
damn
a
Child
of
God
.
3.
Jesus
Christ
suffered
himself
to
be
horribly
tempted
,
that
he
might
be
an
experienced
,
able
,
Faithfull
and
compassionate
high
Priest
,
to
relieve
us
in
our
Temptations
,
and
to
bear
with
us
in
our
violent
and
strange
extravagancies
,
in
our
vain
figments
and
imaginations
.
Hebr.
2.17
.
Wherefore
in
all
things
it
behoved
him
to
be
made
like
unto
his
Brethren
that
he
might
be
a
mercifull
&
faithfull
high-Priest
in
things
pertaining
to
God
,
to
make
Reconciliation
for
the
sins
of
the
People
.
4.
Our
Lord
Jesus
gave
Satan
leave
thus
to
assault
him
,
in
this
part
of
his
invisible
Kingdome
,
where
his
power
is
greatest
,
that
he
might
procure
for
us
an
absolute
and
compleat
Victory
over
Satan
,
and
all
his
powers
and
policyes
,
that
no
force
should
be
left
in
his
hand
against
Believers
in
Christ
.
He
hath
conquered
his
inner
Kingdome
,
the
power
that
he
hath
over
mens
minds
and
imaginations
.
Hereby
he
hath
Satan
in
so
streight
a
chain
,
that
all
his
Temptations
are
at
the
dispose
and
ordering
of
Jesus
Christ
.
Col.
2.15
.
Having
spoiled
Principalityes
and
powers
,
he
made
a
shew
of
them
openly
,
triumphing
over
them
in
it
viz.
in
his
cross
and
Sufferings
.
And
this
is
a
chief
part
of
this
conquest
,
to
conquer
Satans
inner
Kingdome
,
in
the
minds
and
imaginations
of
men
.
5.
Jesus
Christ
suffered
himself
to
be
tempted
,
and
in
that
case
to
conquer
him
,
that
when
Satan
assaults
Believers
in
their
thoughts
,
minds
and
imaginations
these
may
find
Satan
a
conquered
and
a
chained
enemy
,
and
that
by
a
man
,
our
Captain
,
who
is
God-man
:
all
which
he
hath
done
to
encourage
us
to
resist
&
fight
and
triumph
in
Jesus
Christ
.
6.
Jesus
Christ
suffered
himself
to
be
tempted
to
set
us
a
pattern
of
the
way
of
conquering
Temptation
.
Example
and
experience
doe
effectually
teach
:
therefore
when
at
any
time
we
are
assaulted
with
Temptations
,
turn
our
minds
to
the
pattern
of
Christ
,
Mat.
4.
and
see
what
he
did
,
and
doe
we
the
same
.
7.
Jesus
Christ
hath
undergone
this
field
of
Temptations
,
to
let
us
see
by
experience
the
power
of
the
word
over
Satan
and
all
his
Temptations
.
The
Spiritual
War
is
a
principal
part
of
our
Religion
;
and
we
see
that
the
Word
of
God
is
a
principal
weapon
in
the
management
of
this
War
.
Psal.
17.4
,
By
the
words
of
thy
lips
,
I
have
kept
me
from
the
paths
of
the
destroyer
.
8.
All
this
Jesus
Christ
hath
done
,
to
teach
us
how
necessary
it
is
,
that
the
word
of
God
should
dwell
richly
in
us
,
Col.
3
,
16.
It
is
a
great
Duty
,
and
a
precious
mercy
to
be
ready
in
the
Scriptures
,
like
a
ready
Scribe
,
that
can
draw
out
of
his
Quiver
a
fitting
arrow
for
every
case
.
Every
Scribe
which
is
instructed
to
the
Kingdome
of
Heaven
,
is
like
unto
a
man
that
is
an
housholder
,
who
bringeth
forth
out
of
his
Treasury
things
new
and
old
.
By
this
high
and
glorious
example
of
Jesus
Christ
his
suffering
of
Temptations
the
Saints
of
God
should
learn
much
and
most
usefull
instruction
,
touching
which
I
shall
give
some
short
hints
.
A
right
walking
with
God
in
Temptations
,
is
an
eminent
practical
point
of
Religion
:
it
renders
a
man
to
be
a
true
follower
of
Jesus
Christ
,
and
very
acceptable
unto
him
.
His
Disciples
who
continued
with
him
in
his
Temptations
,
he
rewards
them
with
a
Kingdome
;
a
Kingdome
of
Grace
in
this
Life
,
and
a
Kingdome
of
Glory
in
the
life
to
come
.
2
Cor.
4.17.18
.
Our
light
and
short
afflictions
,
tryals
,
temptations
,
doe
work
for
us
a
far
more
exceeding
and
eternal
weight
of
glory
.
It
is
unworthy
a
Believer
,
a
Disciple
of
Jesus
Christ
,
to
shrink
from
,
or
sink
under
Temptations
.
It
is
the
wisdome
of
a
Christian
to
arm
and
prepare
for
Tribulations
in
this
world
,
because
the
appointed
way
to
heaven
is
through
many
tribulations
,
Act.
14.23
.
in
this
point
we
must
be
followers
of
Christ
as
dear
chi●dren
.
Jesus
Christ
hath
provided
for
his
Saints
compleat
Arms
,
even
the
whole
Armour
of
God
,
and
weapons
of
war
that
are
mighty
through
God
,
none
of
our
En●mies
are
able
to
stand
before
them
,
the
Devil
himself
will
fly
from
that
Christian
that
is
expert
to
use
and
improve
the
Sword
of
the
Spirit
,
the
Word
of
God
.
T
mptation
is
Gods
School
wherein
he
doth
train
up
his
Children
to
prepare
and
sit
them
for
Service
on
Earth
,
and
for
glory
in
heaven
.
when
Jesus
Christ
himself
was
entering
upon
his
publick
Ministry
,
he
began
in
the
School
of
Temptations
,
he
began
also
with
fasting
and
prayer
,
he
exercised
these
preparatories
together
,
and
come
forth
of
the
School
eminently
filled
with
the
Spirit
,
yea
,
he
was
fill●d
with
the
Spirit
when
he
entered
into
this
School
,
Luk.
4.1
.
and
Jesus
being
full
of
the
Holy
Ghost
,
returned
from
Jordan
,
and
was
led
by
the
Spirit
into
the
wildern
ss.
The
Spirit
of
God
doth
attend
and
assist
such
as
are
in
Temptations
,
and
doth
furnish
them
unto
such
Services
and
sufferings
as
the
Lord
shall
please
to
call
them
unto
.
Temptations
are
Gods
usual
preparatories
of
his
Children
for
great
services
,
when
God
was
about
to
call
up
Abraham
to
be
a
Father
of
the
faithful
,
a
Corner
stone
,
(
in
subordination
to
Iesus
Christ
)
of
that
Church
in
which
Iesus
Christ
came
into
the
world
,
and
to
be
a
Father
in
the
holy
line
of
the
promised
Seed
,
we
may
see
that
God
prepared
him
for
these
great
services
,
by
great
Temptations
and
tryals
.
When
God
was
about
to
call
up
Moses
to
deliver
Israel
out
of
Egypt
,
to
change
the
Church
polity
,
to
be
Gods
Instrument
to
create
new
heavens
,
and
a
new
Earth
,
to
erect
the
Church
and
common
wealth
of
Israel
,
glorious
services
,
we
see
that
God
prepared
him
for
all
this
by
great
Temptations
and
Tryals
.
When
God
was
about
to
call
up
David
to
make
great
Reformation
in
the
Church
of
Israel
to
gather
up
and
settle
all
the
scattered
parts
of
Gods
instituted
worship
,
and
fix
it
in
a
Temple
,
and
to
erect
a
typical
Kingdome
of
Iesus
Christ
,
and
to
fix
the
line
of
the
Incarnation
of
the
promised
seed
,
all
of
them
very
great
and
eminent
services
,
with
sundry
more
that
I
name
not
,
only
include
them
in
these
generals
,
I
say
when
God
was
about
to
call
up
David
to
these
great
services
,
O
what
a
storm
of
Temptations
did
he
arise
through
!
When
Solomon
was
called
to
finish
what
his
Father
David
had
begun
in
building
the
Temple
and
setting
in
order
the
fixed
national
worship
of
God
;
We
read
little
of
his
passing
through
Temptatious
to
humble
and
prepare
him
:
But
we
read
much
of
his
sensuality
,
whereby
he
so
stained
the
glory
of
his
high
services
,
that
it
should
raise
thankfulness
to
God
that
pleaseth
to
call
us
up
to
services
of
renown
,
through
a
field
of
very
great
Temptations
.
We
see
in
our
present
subject
touching
the
sufferings
of
Christ
,
that
when
the
Lord
was
calling
him
up
to
that
greatest
and
most
honourable
of
services
,
that
ever
was
performed
unto
the
Lord
in
this
world
,
viz
,
the
Redemption
of
man
,
and
the
salvation
of
souls
.
Iesus
Christ
entered
upon
the
service
through
many
tribulations
and
temptations
,
it
is
an
experimental
saying
of
holy
men
,
that
prayer
,
meditation
and
Temptation
make
a
good
Christian
,
a
good
Minister
,
a
good
Magistrate
,
it
fitteth
a
soul
for
any
service
that
the
Lord
shall
call
him
unto
.
Temptations
are
humbling
providences
,
they
are
rods
of
correction
and
Instruction
,
that
wean
us
from
all
kind
of
self
confidence
,
or
self
seeking
;
they
rectifie
and
purge
us
in
our
grounds
and
ends
,
in
all
our
motions
:
and
when
a
Christian
is
duly
sanctified
in
his
grounds
and
ends
,
he
is
a
fitted
instrument
to
glorify
God
in
any
service
whatsoever
.
The
less
of
man
,
the
more
of
God
.
Furthermore
,
we
see
that
when
Christ
was
about
to
enter
into
this
difficult
field
of
Temptation
,
he
first
received
the
Sacrament
of
Baptism
,
to
fulfill
all
righteousness
,
no
other
Gospel
Sacrament
being
yet
instituted
.
Federal
Sacram●ntal
Communion
with
God
,
doth
greatly
strengthen
Faith
.
We
see
also
that
when
Jesus
Christ
was
entering
into
the
field
of
Death
,
he
first
exercised
sacramental
Communion
with
God
,
yea
double
sacramental
communion
with
God
:
He
first
eat
the
Passover
,
and
then
instituted
and
celebrated
the
Lords
Supper
,
&
then
entred
upon
his
garden
conflict
and
Agony
,
&
all
the
suffering
that
followed
even
to
his
Death
.
By
these
Examples
of
Jesus
Christ
,
when
Gods
people
are
to
enter
upon
any
great
design
,
especially
when
they
goe
upon
hazzard
of
their
life
,
they
will
,
if
they
can
orderly
and
regularly
receive
the
Sacrament
before
they
enter
upon
their
design
.
Get
as
near
to
God
as
you
can
.
True
it
is
that
many
doe
this
superstitiously
,
&
regard
not
the
regular
receiving
the
Sacrament
in
the
Communion
of
the
Church
,
but
minister
it
in
private
,
or
in
a
sick
mans
chamber
;
but
consider
,
that
these
errors
and
abuses
cannot
frustrate
the
effect
of
Gods
institution
regularly
attended
unto
:
Mans
lye
doth
not
make
Gods
Truth
of
none
effect
.

Jesus
Christ
his
thus
arming
and
fitting
himself
,
when
he
was
entering
upon
his
greatest
Temptation
,
and
upon
his
last
conflict
with
Death
it self
,
is
ground
sufficient
for
our
regular
attending
upon
the
Lord
in
our
great
concernments
in
like
manner
as
he
did
.
Our
co●enant
communion
with
God
,
sealed
with
a
divine
instituted
Seal
,
regularly
admini●tred
,
is
to
be
numbred
among
the
greatest
external
means
of
Grace
,
for
the
confirmation
of
our
Faith
.
The
evidences
of
our
Faith
have
the
broad
Seal
of
h●aven
affixed
to
them
:
And
that
is
also
set
on
by
the
efficacy
of
the
Spirit
,
who
sitteth
in
his
Sealing-Office
,
in
the
administration
of
the
Sacrament
,
and
ratifieth
the
application
of
the
publick
Instituted
Seal
,
unto
the
Soul
in
particular
;
unto
which
act
of
the
Spirit
in
the
administration
of
the
Sacraments
,
when
a
poor
doubting
trembling
Soul
doth
reverently
attend
,
he
shall
find
such
an
efficacy
of
the
sealing
Spirit
in
his
Soul
,
as
shall
inable
him
to
go
away
as
Hannah
did
,
when
she
received
Ely
his
blessing
,
1
Sam.

.
so
the
woman
went
her
way
,
and
did
eat
,
and
her
countenance
was
no
more
sad
.
when
we
celebrate
the
death
and
sufferings
of
Jesus
Christ
in
our
Sacramental
Communion
with
God
,
it
doth
revive
our
damped
and
discouraged
Faith
,
it
seals
our
inseperable
union
to
Jesus
Christ
,
inabling
us
to
say
what
shall
seperate
me
?
it
doth
also
quicken
,
animate
and
encourage
Faith
to
venture
upon
the
greatest
,
most
difficult
and
dangerous
enterprize
,
when
called
thereunto
;
it
enables
the
Soul
to
say
,
my
life
is
not
dear
to
me
,
so
I
may
but
finish
the
Lords
work
,
unto
which
he
hath
called
me
,
whatever
Sufferings
,
sorrows
,
Tryals
,
Temptations
I
am
thereby
exposed
unto
.
When
Faith
is
strengthned
,
all
grace
is
on
the
thriving
hand
,
because
it
is
the
work
of
Faith
to
goe
forth
to
Jesus
Christ
,
and
fetch
out
of
his
fulness
whatever
Grace
we
want
;
and
to
fetch
supply
to
enable
us
unto
any
Service
in
doing
or
suffering
the
good
pleasure
of
the
Lord
,
whatever
it
be

Jesus
Christ
hath
suffered
Temptations
deeper
then
any
ever
did

knoweth
how
to
relieve
us
.
CAP.
X.
The
Sufferings
of
Jesus
Christ
in
the
Garden
.
I
Contract
&
pass
over
many
things
in
the
Sufferings
of
Christ
,
&
come
to
his
last
Sufferings
,
in
the
last
twenty
hours
of
his
life
in
this
world
;
which
last
Sufferings
were
begun
in
the
Garden
,
and
finished
at
Golgotha
.
In
the
Garden
he
suffered
a
Soul
Agony
,
under
the
sence
of
the
Curse
,
and
punishment
due
to
the
sin
of
Man
,
and
under
the
sense
of
the
bitter
cup
of
death
,
which
he
was
now
going
about
to
drink
.
And
no
sooner
was
there
an
Intermission
of
the
rigour
of
that
Agony
,
but
presently
he
was
betrayed
,
and
fell
into
the
hands
of
his
Enemies
that
sought
his
life
.
I
shall
briefly
touch
some
parts
of
the
History
,
to
shew
how
and
when
he
came
into
this
garden
,
and
how
he
was
there
betrayed
.
1.
The
Covetousness
of
Judas
,
and
a
desire
to
pilfer
,
and
rob
the
bag
which
Jesus
his
Master
had
trusted
him
with
,
was
the
bottome
wheel
of
this
Treason
,
as
appeareth
,
Joh.
12.4
,
5
,
6.
Then
said
one
of
his
Disciples
,
Judas
Iscariot
,
Simons
son
,
which
should
betray
him
,
why
was
not
this
ointment
sold
for
three
hundred
pence
and
given
to
the
poor
?
This
he
said
,
not
that
he
cared
for
the
poor
,
but
because
he
was
a
thief
&
had
the
bag
,
and
bare
what
was
put
therein
.
It
is
a
dangerous
temptation
to
a
covetous
man
,
to
carry
another
mans
Bag.
Mathew
sayes
Math.
26.8
.
the
Disciples
had
indignation
,
shewing
that
Judas
spake
from
an
heart
filled
with
anger
and
disdain
against
his
Master
,
that
had
caused
him
to
lose
such
a
fat
gob
of
gain
:
and
the
rest
of
the
Disciples
in
their
innocency
were
led
to
consent
to
Judas
.
Mark
14.4
.
saith
some
of
them
had
indignation
:
but
John
sheweth
,
that
it
was
the
spirit
of
Judas
that
so
vented
himself
,
and
why
he
did
so
.
The
rest
that
consented
to
him
were
only
such
as
were
misled
in
their
ignorance
of
Judas
his
treachery
.
So
soon
as
Judas
had
thus
vented
his
indignation
,
the
Devil
entered
into
his
Soul
,
and
suggested
to
him
how
he
might
have
his
gains
made
up
that
he
had
now
lost
,
he
might
get
a
great
piece
of
money
,
if
he
would
but
goe
to
the
chief
Priests
,
and
offer
to
betray
his
Master
to
them
.
And
that
it
was
thus
,
Luke
testifieth
,
Luk.
22.3
,
4.
Then
entered
Satan
into
Judas
Iscariot
being
one
of
the
twelve
,
and
he
went
his
way
and
communed
with
the
chief
Priests
and
Captains
,
how
he
might
betray
him
unto
them
.
Both
Mark
and
Luke
say
,
they
promised
him
money
:
but
Mathew
tels
the
Sum
they
bargained
for
.
Math.
26.15
.
for
thirty
pieces
of
silver
.
And
now
his
covetous
heart
was
fatted
;
but
he
must
be
sure
to
perform
his
bargain
,
else
he
should
not
have
his
wages
:
therefore
now
he
studied
and
watched
for
an
opportunity
to
doe
what
he
had
agreed
to
doe
.
The
love
of
money
may
well
be
said
to
be
the
root
of
all
evill
.
Satan
can
bring
about
a
covetous
heart
to
run
himself
into
horrid
sins
for
small
gains
.
Did
he
esteem
the
bloud
of
a
man
of
his
Lord
and
Master
,
our
Saviour
,
at
no
greater
price
?
But
so
it
was
prophesied
,
Zach.
11.12
,
13.
We
see
also
what
a
dangerous
thing
it
is
,
to
suffer
our
hearts
to
be
blown
up
into
indignation
,
for
the
loss
of
an
opportunity
of
getting
gain
,
especially
unjust
gain
:
for
the
Devil
hath
an
open
door
thereby
to
enter
into
the
Soul
,
and
to
put
them
upon
some
wicked
designs
.
2.
The
execution
of
this
treason
,
this
bloudy
bargain
,
was
also
done
in
a
devillish
Fury
,
viz.
because
Jesus
Christ
discovered
his
treason
,
and
him
to
be
the
Traitor
before
all
the
Disciples
to
his
disgrace
.
Math.
26.25
.
Then
Judas
which
betrayed
him
said
Master
is
it
I
?
Ah
bold
wretch
,
whose
Conscience
is
s●ared
with
pieces
of
silver
.
That
which
Jesus
answered
was
,
Thou
sayest
it
,
Yet
this
was
not
so
full
a
discovery
,
he
made
a
shift
to
bear
that
:
but
the
full
discovery
is
recorded
by
John
,
who
was
a
Speaker
in
the
matter
,
Joh.
13.23
ad
28.
Now
there
was
leaning
on
Jesus
bosome
one
of
his
Disciples
whom
Jesus
loved
:
Simon
Peter
beckned
to
him
that
he
should
ask
who
it
should
be
of
whom
he
spake
,
he
then
lying
on
Jesus
breast
saith
unto
him
,
Lord
who
is
it
?
Jesus
answered
,
he
it
is
to
whom
I
shall
give
a
Sop
when
I
have
dipped
it
.
And
when
he
had
dipped
the
Sop
he
gave
it
to
Judas
Iscariot
,
the
Son
of
Simon
.
And
after
the
Sop
,
Satan
entered
into
him
.
Then
said
Iesus
to
him
,
that
thou
doest
,
do
quickly
.
This
Sop
did
so
plainly
discover
Iudas
,
that
the
Devill
entered
with
it
,
and
swelled
his
heart
into
a
resolution
of
a
present
execution
of
his
bloudy
bargain
and
treason
.
O
what
a
Soul
did
this
man
eat
the
Passover
withall
!
Hypocrites
though
they
love
their
Sins
and
designs
,
yet
they
cannot
abide
to
be
seen
and
discovered
.
The
discovery
of
a
bloudy
Plot
,
will
make
an
Hypocrite
rage
,
as
it
did
Judas
:
but
it
will
make
a
godly
heart
very
thankful
to
God
that
hath
prevented
his
sin
:
as
it
was
with
Da●id
,
1
Sam.
25.32
,
33.
when
Abigail
did
prevent
him
from
murdering
Nabal
,
Blessed
be
the
Lord
God
of
Israel
,
who
sent
thee
this
day
to
meet
me
,
blessed
be
thy
advice
,
and
blessed
be
thou
that
hast
kept
me
this
day
from
coming
to
shed
bloud
.
When
the
Spirit
of
God
enters
with
preventing
Counsel
,
the
effect
is
gracious
.
But
if
Satan
enter
with
the
discovering
Sop
,
he
will
blow
up
Hell
fire
in
that
bosome
,
as
it
was
with
J●das
.
3.
When
Judas
went
out
in
that
de●illish
Fury
,
that
Satan
had
blown
up
his
heart
into
,
it
was
night
,
Ioh.
13.30
.
A
fit
season
for
Traitors
and
Hypocrites
to
act
their
designs
and
works
of
darkness
in
.
It
was
after
day-light
was
shut
in
,
for
then
it
is
said
to
be
night
:
it
might
be
near
eight
of
the
Clock
;
for
he
tarried
untill
the
Passover
was
celebrated
.
And
when
Jesus
Christ
meaneth
to
institute
the
Gospel
Sacrament
of
his
Supper
,
he
first
hushed
and
hasted
away
Judas
:
and
when
he
was
gone
,
then
he
instituted
the
Lords
Supper
,
and
finished
it
with
a
Psalm
:
and
after
it
he
had
that
gracious
Conference
recorded
by
John
in
Chapters
,
13
,
14
,
15
,
16.
And
after
all
this
,
he
uttered
that
gracious
mediatorial
Prayer
,
Chap.
17.
All
these
were
most
heavenly
Preparatoryes
for
his
own
Sufferings
,
and
the
Sufferings
of
his
Disciples
,
which
were
not
small
.
And
although
that
word
be
recorded
Ioh.
14.31
.
arise
,
let
us
go
hence
,
yet
they
did
not
goe
pr●sently
;
for
they
went
not
till
that
Prayer
Cap.
17.
was
uttered
,
as
appears
Joh.
18.1
.
when
Jesus
had
spoken
these
words
,
he
went
forth
,
though
some
of
the
discourse
in
these
Chapters
might
be
discoursed
by
the
way
.
By
this
pattern
of
Christ
his
celebration
of
the
Supper
,
here
is
much
instruction
how
we
ought
to
keep
our
Sacramental
Communion
as
pure
as
we
can
,
and
may
be
capable
to
doe
in
this
our
state
militant
,
and
to
be
filled
with
holy
,
spiritual
and
heavenly
conference
after
it
.
4.
While
Jesus
and
his
Disciples
were
thus
exercised
in
these
holy
services
,
conferences
and
Prayers
,
Iudas
was
among
the
chief
Priests
and
Pharisees
,
who
by
that
time
of
night
were
at
home
,
and
soon
ready
to
attend
the
motion
of
their
traiterous
Companion
.
Yet
Iudas
found
difficultyes
and
delayes
in
getting
all
things
ready
:
to
get
a
Company
of
men
,
and
Officers
;
their
Commission
&
arms
clubs
,
staves
,
and
other
weapons
,
lanthorns
,
torches
&c.
Judas
found
that
he
had
thrust
himself
into
a
troublesome
employment
.
And
however
he
intended
to
have
dispatched
quickly
,
according
to
that
discovering
word
which
Jesus
Christ
spake
to
him
at
his
going
out
,
what
thou
doest
,
doe
quickly
,
intimating
that
it
was
in
the
plot
and
purpose
of
his
heart
to
surprize
him
there
,
in
the
place
where
they
kept
the
passover
.
But
he
found
so
many
difficultyes
and
delayes
,
that
it
was
near
about
midnight
ere
he
could
get
all
things
ready
,
as
will
appear
in
the
Sequel
.
5.
After
this
holy
communion
,
Conference
and
prayer
,
Jesus
with
his
Disciples
went
forth
,
and
entered
into
the
suffering
garden
,
Ioh.
18.1
.
When
Jesus
had
spoken
these
words
,
he
went
forth
with
his
Disciples
over
the
brook
Kedron
there
was
a
Garden
into
which
he
entered
with
his
Disciples
:
where
first
he
placed
his
Disciples
where
they
might
be
within
sight
and
hearing
of
what
should
come
upon
him
,
but
out
of
the
way
of
Judas
and
his
Company
for
their
safety
.
so
carefull
was
our
Lord
of
his
poor
Lambs
,
when
a
company
of
wolves
were
to
come
amongst
them
.
That
which
he
commanded
them
was
,
Sit
here
,
till
I
go
&
pray
yonder
.
Luk.
22.40
.
pray
that
ye
enter
not
into
Temptation
.
Then
he
took
Peter
James
and
John
and
went
a
little
further
.
And
now
did
he
enter
into
his
Soul-agony
,
with
wonderfull
horror
and
distress
,
even
to
death
.
1.
His
body
was
not
under
any
immediate
suffering
,
as
yet
,
only
as
it
did
co-suffer
,
and
sympathise
with
his
Soul
,
in
its
terrible
Agony
,
so
deep
and
terrible
were
the
horrors
of
his
Soul
,
as
that
his
body
was
ready
to
faint
away
and
dye
.
Math.
26.
●7
,
38.
he
began
to
be
sorrowful
and
very
heavy
,
then
saith
he
unto
them
,
my
soul
is
●xceeding
sorrowful
,
even
unto
the
death
,
tarry
here
and
watch
with
me
.
Mark
.
1●

,
34.
he
began
to
be
sore
amazed
,
and
to
be
very
heavy
,
and
saith
unto
them
,
my
Soul
is
exceeding
sorrowful
unto
death
,
tarry
ye
here
and
watch
.
Luk.
22.43
,
44.
there
appeared
an
Angel
unto
him
from
Heaven
strengthening
and
being
in
an
Agony
he
prayed
more
earnestly
,
and
his
sweat
was
as
it
were
great
drops
of
blood
,
falling
down
to
the
ground
.
The
extremity
of
his
Soul
sorrow
did
wring
and
torture
the
whole
wheel
of
nature
.
And
that
this
Agony
was
firstly
upon
his
Soul
,
is
expresly
testified
by
Mathew
and
Mark
,
such
a
load
of
sorrow
lay
upon
his
Soul
,
that
he
could
scarce
live
under
it
.
The
same
is
evident
in
the
Prophesy
,
Isai.
53.10
.
Thou
shalt
make
his
Soul
an
offering
for
sin
,
which
Text
shews
that
the
cause
of
this
sorrow
was
the
load
of
our
sin
,
which
lay
upon
him
,
being
our
Surety
,
Luke
calleth
it
an
Agony
,
ver.
44.
2.
This
Soul
Agony
is
expressed
by
Jesus
Christ
himself
who
felt
it
,
in
such
significant
words
as
do
make
it
appear
to
be
a
very
extream
torment
that
he
was
in
.
Sorrowful
,
or
so
beset
round
with
sorrows
,
and
he
was
ready
to
faint
and
dy
away
,
he
felt
the
greatest
terror
,
consternation
,
and
distress
of
mind
,
that
a
mans
Soul
was
capable
to
be
in
,
yea
,
his
terror
was
greater
,
then
any
one
was
able
to
bear
except
himself
who
is
God-man
.
3.
This
distress
of
Soul
was
begun
five
dayes
before
the
Pasover
,
as
appeareth
Ioh.
12.27
.
now
is
my
Soul
troubled
&
what
shall
I
say
?
Father
save
me
from
this
hour
,
but
for
this
cause
came
I
unto
this
hour
.
That
this
was
spoken
five
dayes
before
the
Passover
,
appears
,
Ioh.
12.1
.
six
days
before
the
Pasover
Iesus
came
to
Bethany
,
&
v.
12.
on
the
next
day
much
people
were
come
to
the
Feast
,
and
then
Jesus
went
up
to
Jerusalem
,
and
then
was
this
word
spoken
by
him
,
so
that
he
had
been
long
in
some
degrees
of
this
Agony
,
yea
,
long
before
his
Soul
was
distressed
about
it
,
Luke
12.50
.
but
I
have
a
Baptisme
to
be
baptized
with
,
and
how
am
I
streightned
,
pressed
,
pained
till
it
be
accomplished
,
so
that
that

is

(
in
part
)
accomplished

53.3
.
a
man
of
sorrows
,
acquainted
with
griefs
,
his
Soul
was
in
continual
sorrow
&
distress
.
4.
This
Soul
Agony
was
not
inflicted
upon
him
by
man
,
nor
by
Devils
,
no
creature
was
able
to
put
his
blessed
Soul
into
such
a
condition
.
Quest.
Who
was
it
that
put
his
Soul
into
this
distress
?
I
answer
,
it
was
his
Father
that
gave
him
this
Cup
to
drink
,

Cup
which
my
heavenly
Father
hath
given
me

I

Lord
hath
laid
on
him
the
iniquities
of

he
suffered
the
wrath
and
curse
of
God
,
the
punishment
due
to
the
sin
of
man
,
he
is
our
surety
,
he
stood
in
our
stead
,
and
divine
justice
inflicted
upon
him
all
the
punishment
due
to
our
sins
.
And
he
spared
not
to
lay
upon
him
till
he
was
fully
satisfied
,
Rom.
8.32
.
He
spared
not
his
own
Son
,
here
he
drank
the
first
deep
draught
of
the
wrath
of
God
due
to
our
sin
,
on
the
Cross
,
he
drank
the
last
draught
,
and
then
he
dyed
.
5.
He
turned
the
Innocent
reluctancies
of
humane
nature
into
prayers
unto
his
Father
,
who
laid
this
load
upon
him
,
and
subdued
,
and
suppressed
them
with
humble
,
holy
submission
to
his
will
,
and
then
drank
,
and
this
he
did
three
times
,
he
made
three
draughts
of
this
bitter
cup
which
he
drank
in
the
garden
.
And
it
pleased
the
Father
to
give
him
interims
of
some
ease
,
so
that
after
his
first
submission
he
went
unto
his
Disciples
,
and
awaked
them
,
(
poor
watch
men
)
and
then
returned
to
his
dreadful
work
again
,
and
submitted
the
second
time
,
and
drank
,
then
went
he
again
to
his
Disciples
and
did
the
same
with
a
check
to
Peter
by
Name
,
and
returned
again
and
prayed
,
and
submitted
,
and
drank
the
third
draught
,
and
then
he
had
an
interim
again
.
And
by
that
time
the
Traitor
Judas
and
his
Companions
were
come
into
the
Garden
.
6.
In
all
this
bitter
conflict
he
had
no
humane
help
,
for
every
time
he
came
to
his
Disciples
he
found
them
sleeping
,
he
fulfilled
that
Prophesy
,
Isai.
63.3
.
I
have
trodden
the
wine
press
alone
,
and
of
the
people
there
was
none
with
me
.
Yet
to
inform
and
convince
us
of
the
greatness
of
this
work
and
bitter
suffering
,
it
pleased
God
to
send
an
Angel
to
strengthen
him
,
as
Luke
testifieth
,
Luke
22.43
and
there
appeared
an
Angel
unto
him
from
Heaven
strengthning
him
.
The
Cup
was
so
bitter
,
that
it
was
as
much
as
life
could
bear
,
yet
he
revived
again
,
and
went
on
in
his
work
,
till
he
drank
the
last
draught
on
the
Cross
,
&
then
it
killed
him
,
he
drank
at
several
times
,
that
it
might
not
yet
kill
him
;
b●cause
all
was
not
yet
finished
;
but
when
all
was
finished
,
he
drank
the
bottom
of
the
Cup
,
&
then
it
killed
him
,
he
began
with
a
soul
Agony
only
,
without
immediate
bodily
sufferings
,
save
what
his
body
suffered
by
simpathy
with
his
distressed
soul
;
but
on
the
Cross
he
suffered
the
extremity
of
bodily
suffering
,
&
Soul
sufferings
also
both
together
,
&
then
it
killed
him
7.
What
is
a
Soul
Agony
?
Answ.
The
wrath
and
curse
of
God
due
to
sin
by
the
Law
,
inflicted
to
punish
the
Soul
.
What
is
that
Soul
punishment
which
Jesus
Christ
suffered
,
which
he
began
in
the
garden
,
before
they
touched
his
body
?
Answ.
It
is
so
deep
,
terrible
,
Infinite
,
and
intollerable
,
that
it
is
unutterable
,
as
it
is
said
,
1
Cor.
2.9
.
Eye
hath
not
seen
,
Ear
hath
not
heard
,
nor
have
entered
into
the
heart
of
man
,
the
things
that
God
hath
prepared
for
them
that
love
him
.
So
nor
for
them
that
love
him
not
,
who
are
sinners
.
And
what
unconceivable
punishment
divine
justice
hath
prepared
for
sinners
,
all
that
,
Jesus
Christ
hath
suffered
in
our
stead
,
no
man
can
bear
the
curse
of
the
Law
but
it
will
sink
him
to
hell
,
and
there
he
can
bear
it
but
by
drops
,
and
therefore
his
punishment
is
drawn
out
to
Eternity
.
But
Jesus
Christ
was
able
to
bear
it
,
and
to
accomplish
his
sufferings
in
a
finite
time
,
Isai.
53.4
.
he
hath
born
our
griefs
.
Souls
in
hell
feel
what
a
Soul
Agony
under
Gods
wrath
and
curse
is
,
Luk.
16.24
.
I
am
tormented
in
this
flame
,
said
Dives
in
Hell
.
Souls
und●r
the
work
of
conversion
,
when
they
are
wounded
for
sin
,
feel
some
drops
and
sparks
of
it
,
&
yet
that
little
is
intollerable
,
Pro.
18.14
.
a
wounded
Spirit
who
can
bear
?
a
Negative
Interrogative
,
meaning
that
none
can
bear
it
.
Only
Jesus
Christ
can
bear
it
,
yea
,
we
may
truly
say
,
never
did
any
wounded
Soul
in
the
work
of
conversion
feel
such
Soul
wounds
as
Jesus
Christ
felt
,
and
never
did
,
shall
,
or
can
any
Soul
in
Hell
feel
such
Torments
of
soul
as
Jesus
Christ
felt
.
For
1.
In
Hell
every
soul
feels
the
punishment
due
to
his
own
sin
only
,
he
suffereth
only
for
his
own
sins
.
2.
In
the
work
of
conversion
the
soul
feels
the
sting
of
the
guilt
of
his
own
sin
only
.
But
Iesus
Christ
stood
in
the
room
and
stead
of
all
,
he
is
a
second
Adam
,
he
suffered
the
punishment
due
unto
all
,
and
all
at
once
,
and
this
maketh
a
wonderful
difference
.
The
suffering
of
any
one
person
is
but
as
the
drop
of
a
Bucket
in
comparison
of
the
sufferings
of
Iesus
Christ
.
There
be
sundry
parts
and
powers
of
the
soul
;
The
understanding
is
the
great
light
,
ruler
,
commander
of
the
whole
man
,
in
all
its
actions
.
The
will
is
the
sovereign
uncompelled
chooser
in
the
soul
of
man
,
that
closeth
with
what
it
liketh
best
.
The
Conscience
is
the
sovereign
judge
of
all
that
is
done
,
doing
,
or
to
be
done
.
The
memory
is
the
depository
Treasury
where
all
our
store
,
good
or
bad
is
laid
up
for
after
use
.
The
imaginations
and
affections
are
under
Servants
to
the
Soul
.
And
all
these
powers
of
the
Soul
,
the
person
being
in
the
state
of
sin
are
capable
of
high
torments
;
as
on
the
contrary
,
the
person
being
in
the
state
of
grace
through
Faith
in
Jesus
Christ
they
are
capable
of
glory
and
high
joyes
.
Torments
enter
into
the
Soul
two
wayes
,
as
also
do
joyes
.
-
Sometimes
by
way
of
sense
and
imagination
.
-
Sometimes
by
the
understanding
,
by
the
Word
and
Spirit
.
In
all
these
wayes
,
what
ever
Torment
an
Innocent
Surety
was
capable
of
as
the
fruit
of
sin
,
all
that
Jesus
Christ
suffered
,
part
now
in
the
garden
,
and
fully
upon
the
Cross
,
Our
Surety
stood
guilty
in
the
Eye
of
Justice
,
of
all
the
sin
of
the
first
Adam
,
and
presents
himself
to
suffer
for
the
same
,
unto
the
satisfaction
of
the
justice
of
the
Law
,
Rom.
3.19
.
all
the
world
is
become
guilty
before
God
,
and
Jesus
Christ
taketh
upon
himself
all
this
guilt
,
all
the
mountains
of
guilt
of
all
the
elect
world
are
rowled
upon
Jesus
Christ
,
he
is
made
sin
for
us
,
and
the
fiery
streams
of
the
wrath
of
God
that
burneth
in
Tophet
come
running
down
upon
him
,
Psal.
88.7
.
thy
wrath
lyeth
hard
upon
me
,
thou
hast
afflicted
me
with
all
thy
waves
.
The
curse
due
unto
sin
maketh
it
a
fearful
thing
to
fall
into
the
hands
of
the
living
God
,
Heb.
10.31
.
for
our
God
is
a
consuming
fire
.
In
this
fearful
,
terrible
condition
was
the
Soul
of
Iesus
Christ
,
now
in
his
garden
agony
,
which
suffering
of
Iesus
Christ
doth
save
believers
from
it
,
to
the
enlargement
of
our
Eternal
Thanksgiving
,
praise
and
joy
.
But
Wo
be
to
those
unto
whom
this
grace
is
freely
offered
,
but
they
rather
chuse
the
pleasures
of
sin
for
a
season
,
and
by
their
own
choice
plunge
themselves
into
these
flames
of
wrath
,
out
of
which
Iesus
Christ
offereth
to
deliver
them
,
but
they
refuse
to
accept
his
o●fer
.
8.
In
this
garden
Agony
Iesus
Christ
had
but
three
of
his
Disciples
near
him
,
viz.
Peter
,
Iames
and
Iohn
,
the
rest
of
his
Disciples
he
had
appointed
where
they
should
tarry
,
further
off
,
and
he
went
so
often
to
these
three
to
keep
them
waking
,
that
Judas
and
his
Companions
should
not
find
them
fast
asleep
,
and
behold
the
gentleness
of
Iesus
Christ
to
consider
their
infirmity
,
he
first
gently
checketh
them
,
and
Peter
by
name
,
could
ye
not
watch
with
me
one
hour
?
shewing
that
his
first
conflict
had
been
about
an
hour
,
and
he
knowing
that
Iudas
was
coming
,
set
them
a
little
way
off
,
and
bid
them
watch
.
But
alas
they
were
poor
Watchmen
,
he
found
them
asleep
the
second
time
,
then
he
giveth
them
an
holy
Item
and
Admonition
,
watch
and
pray
lest
ye
fall
into
Temptation
:
there
is
more
danger
near
you
then
you
are
aware
of
.
Yet
himself
doth
make
a
tender
kind-hearted
Apology
for
them
,
First
accepting
their
willingness
of
Spirit
;
and
then
bearing
with
the
infirmity
of
the
flesh
:
for
he
considered
that
it
was
near
midnight
,
high
sleeping
time
;
and
their
hearts
were
full
of
sorrow
,
which
made
their
eyes
heavy
Luk.
22.45
.
Yet
notwithstanding
the
care
the
Lord
had
to
keep
them
awake
,
Judas
had
taken
them
asleep
,
had
not
the
Lord
awaked
them
the
third
time
,
for
when
he
came
to
them
the
third
time
he
found
them
asleep
,
and
now
he
gives
them
a
sharp
awakening
,
they
were
ashamed
the
second
time
,
but
now
they
were
gastered
;
now
sleep
if
you
can
.
Behold
the
hour
is
come
,
the
Son
of
man
is
betrayed
into
the
hands
of
sinners
,
arise
,
let
us
be
going
,
when
the
danger
is
upon
us
it
is
time
to
bestir
our selves
.
Now
the
History
returneth
to
Iudas
,
whom
we
left
,
preparing
his
Company
to
execute
his
wicked
Treason
in
betraying
his
Lord
and
Master
,
when
he
had
gotten
his
Company
,
a
band
of
men
and
Officers
,
furnished
with
Swords
,
Staves
,
Clubs
,
Lanthorns
,
Torches
,
&c.
no
doubt
he
first
led
them
to
the
house
where
he
had
left
Iesus
and
his
Disciples
,
but
he
found
that
they
were
gone
from
thence
some
hours
ago
,
which
might
vex
them
,
but
Iudas
incouraging
them
,
he
knew
the
place
whither
they
were
gone
,
Ioh.
18.2
.
Iudas
who
betrayed
him
knew
the
place
,
for
Iesus
oft
times
resorted
thither
with
his
Disciples
;
unto
this
place
he
led
them
;
how
they
got
into
the
garden
,
is
not
said
,
but
Iudas
their
Leader
knew
how
to
get
in
,
and
did
so
.
And
this
is
greatly
to
be
observed
,
that
by
such
time
as
they
were
come
,
Iesus
Christ
was
ready
for
them
,
he
had
ordered
and
placed
his
Disciples
,
he
had
finished
his
Soul
Agony
,
and
prayers
,
and
he
had
no
sooner
finished
that
great
work
,
but
the
Traitor
and
his
Crew
came
,
he
steppeth
out
of
one
furnace
into
another
,
he
had
finished
his
Soul
conflict
under
the
wrath
of
God
,
now
falleth
into
the
wrathful
hand
of
man
,
from
one
suffering
into
another
;
the
time
of
his
last
sufferings
was
now
come
.
In
the
management
of
this
matter
there
be
sundry
particulars
.
1.
The
Company
that
came
to
apprehend
this
Lamb
of
God
to
make
him
a
Sacrifice
was
a
band
of
armed
men
,
with
Officers
and
Arms
,
Ioh.
18.3
.
and
Iudas
was
their
Leader
,
a
goodly
Crew
to
follow
a
Disciple
of
Iesus
Christ
,
but
they
are
fit
enough
for
a
Traitor
;
they
had
objected
to
Iudas
that
they
might
miss
the
right
person
,
being
night
,
how
shall
we
know
the
right
party
?
Iudas
devised
this
direction
,
he
told
them
that
he
will
kiss
the
man
,
and
whom
ye
see
me
kiss
,
that
is
he
,
lay
hold
on
him
,
and
lead
him
away
safely
,
so
Mark
expresses
his
direction
,
Mar.
14.44
.
2.
According
to
this
agreement
,
so
soon
as
they
came
up
to
Iesus
,
the
first
act
that
passed
was
,
Judas
came
up
to
Iesus
with
a
smooth
flattering
tongue
,
and
said
,
hail
Master
!
and
kissed
him
;
The
most
mischievous
and
wicked
kiss
that
ever
was
given
in
this
world
,
a
fitting
behaviour
of
a
bloody
Traitor
.
3.
Iesus
Christ
giveth
him
in
a
mild
manner
a
most
dreadful
rebuke
.
Iudas
betrayest
thou
the
Son
of
man
with
a
kiss
?
a
terrible
Question
to
all
smooth
,
flattering
,
but
falshearted
Hypocrites
,
that
mean
not
as
they
speak
,
whose
words
are
smooth
as
butter
and
oyl
,
but
falshood
and
venome
is
in
their
hearts
,
4.
The
next
act
that
passed
was
,
Iesus
asked
them
,
whom
seek
ye
?
they
said
,
Iesus
of
Nazaret
:
he
said
,
I
am
he
:
and
with
that
word
opened
a
Crevis
of
the
Majesty
of
his
person
,
which
made
them
all
to
start
back
and
fall
to
the
ground
,
and
probably
tumbled
over
each
other
.
And
Ioh.
18.5.6
.
Iudas
that
betrayed
him
stood
among
them
,
and
it
is
like
fell
also
among
them
,
unless
his
heart
was
harder
than
the
rest
,
and
not
so
ready
to
be
daunted
in
this
wicked
work
he
was
about
:
he
was
the
most
guilty
person
of
them
all
.
5.
But
they
recovered
themselves
again
and
stood
up
.
Nothing
will
daunt
and
divert
an
hard
heart
,
when
the
Devill
doth
animate
and
inspire
them
.
And
all
this
Company
depended
upon
Judas
their
Leader
and
Captain
,
all
the
action
must
be
attributed
to
him
.
6.
Then
Iesus
asked
them
again
,
whom
seek
ye
?
He
was
more
composed
in
his
mind
then
they
were
,
he
was
in
a
good
work
,
they
were
in
a
wicked
work
.
And
by
this
second
Question
,
he
shewed
evidently
that
he
would
not
escape
from
them
though
he
could
easily
have
so
done
,
for
he
knew
their
design
.
Then
they
said
again
,
Iesus
of
Nazareth
?
Iesus
answered
them
,
I
have
told
you
that
I
am
he
,
if
therefore
ye
seek
m●
,
let
these
(
viz.
Peter
,
James
and
John
)
that
are
with
me
goe
their
way
,
that
th●
saying
which
he
had
spoken
,
Ioh.
17.12
.
might
be
fulfilled
,
Of
those
that
thou
hast
given
me
I
have
lost
none
.
And
here
behold
a
right
good
Shephard
,
that
will
expose
himself
to
the
Wolves
to
save
his
Lambs
.
7.
The
next
act
that
passed
,
was
an
act
of
Peter
,
who
seeing
Malchus
a
forward
bold
fellow

upon
which
act
of
Peter
,
Jesus
Christ
did
three
things
.
First
.
He
rebuked
the
sword
,
and
commanded
Peter
to
put
it
up
into
its
sheath
.
He
rebuked
it
by
that
text
of
Scripture
Gen.
9.6
.
he
that
draweth
the
sword
shall
perish
by
the
sword
.
Again
,
Jesus
Christ
declareth
,
that
if
he
had
need
or
desire
of
rescue
,
I
could
ask
my
Father
,
and
have
more
then
ten
legions
of
Angels
to
rescue
me
.
All
that
Jesus
Christ
did
for
us
was
by
voluntary
dispensation
.
Again
Jesus
Christ
argueth
,
If
I
should
rescue
my self
from
them
,
how
should
the
Scripture
be
fullfilled
,
which
have
foretold
,
that
thus
it
must
be
?
Mat.

,

Again
he
argueth
,
Ioh.
18.11
.
The
cup
which
my
heavenly
Father
hath
given
me
to
drink
shall
I
not
drink
it
?
He
had
already
thrice
in
Prayer
submitted
to
drink
it
,
and
now
submitteth
again
.
Secondly
.
Jesus
Christ
touched
Malchus
his
ear
,
and
healed
it
.

whether
it
did
his
soul
any
good
or
not
,
is
not
said
,
there
is
no
mention
made
of
it
;
only
Ioh.
18.26
.
A
Kinsman
of
Malchus
challenged
Peter
to
be
one
of
Jesus
his
company
.
Did
I
not
see
thee
in
the
Garden
with
him
?
and
no
doubt
he
could
have
told
him
,
that
it
was
he
that
cut
off
Malchus
his
ear
;
but
because
of
the
Miracle
which
Jesus
did
,
in
healing
it
with
a
touch
,
the
High
Priest
(
it
is
like
)
charged
and
they
all
agreed
to
bury
it
in
as
much
silence
as
they
could
;
for
it
was
a
great
Conviction
of
their
malice
,
that
could
not
be
mollified
by
such
a
miracle
.
But
poor
Peter
was
too
bold
(
not
in
Courage
,
but
Fear
)
in
denying
;
which
how
great
a
stumbling
it
might
be
to
him
that
charged
him
,
we
cannot
say
.
But
O
what
a
sad
Temptation
is
fear
?
that
caused
Peter
so
rashly
,
and
so
often
to
deny
his
Lord
But
we
are
yet
in
the
Garden
,
where
Malchus
Ear
was
rashly
cut
off
by
Peter
,
and
miraculously
healed
by
Jesus
Christ
.

Jesus
Christ
rebuked
the
Officers
and
band
of
Souldiers
for
coming
against
him
in
hostile
manner
,
Luk.
22.52
.
and
Iesus
said
unto
the
chief
Priests
,
and
Captains
of
the
Temple
,
and
the
Elders
which
were
come
to
him
(
therefore
we
see
that
there
were
of
such
sorts
of
men
in
Judas
his
Crew
)
be
ye
come
out
as
against
a
Thief
with
Swords
and
Staves
?
when
I
was
daily
with
you
in
the
Temple
,
ye
stretched
forth
no
hand
against
me
,
but
this
is
your
hour
and
power
of
darkness
.

Lastly
,
They
lay
hold
on
Iesus
,
and
bind
him
,
dear
Lamb
of
God!
Ioh.
18.12
.
then
the
band
of
men
the
Captain
and
Officers
of
the
Jews
took
Iesus
and
bound
him
,
and
led
him
away
.

Now
all
his
Disciples
left
him
,
fled
,
and
shifted
away

Mark
relates
a
brief
History
of
a
young
man
,
a
follower
of
Iesus
Christ
,

and
there
followed
him
a
certain
young
man
having
a
linnen
cloth
cast
about
his
naked
body
,
and
the
young
men
laid
hold
on
him
,
and
he
left
the
Linnen
Cloth
,
and
fled
from
them
naked
.
This
young
man
was
none
of
the
Disciples
,
for
Iesus
Christ
had
taken
care
for
all
their
safety
,
Ioh.
18.8
.
If
ye
seek
me
,
let
these
go
their
way
.
But
this
History
is
inserted
,
to
shew
what
a
sad
con●ternation
fell
upon
all
the
follow●rs
of
Iesus
Christ
:
ah
,
how
were
all
the
sheep
scattered
,
when
the
Shephard
was
smitten
,
and
oh
how
the
hour
of
darkness
insulted
now
!
that
none
of
the
followers
of
Iesus
Christ
durst
appear
,
and
how
Iesus
was
deserted
of
all
men
.
He
trode
the
wine
Press
alone
,
and
none
of
the
people
were
with
him
.
To
him
be
all
glory
for
ever
and
ever
,
Amen
.
In
this
sad
History
of
the
sufferings
of
our
Lord
Iesus
in
the
Gard●n
,
Divines
do
observe
how
the
sufferings
of
the
second
Adam
do
answer
to
the
sins
of
the
first
Adam
.
The
first
Adam
beg
an
sin
in
the
garden
of
Paradice
,
and
the
second
Adam
began
his
last
sufferings
in
a
garden
where
Iesus
was
wont
to
resort
,
Ioh.
18.2
.
a
good
meditation
to
season
our
garden
del●ghts
withal
.
Again
,
the
first
Adam
fell
by
the
subtile
flattering
Serpent
,
acted
by
the
Devil
.
And
the
second
Adam
entered
into
the
field
of
his
last
sufferings
,
by
the
smooth
and
fallacious
kiss
of
his
Disciple
Iudas
,
again
all
the
world
were
corrupted
by
the
sin
&
fall
of
the
first
Adam
,
&
all
sorts
of
the
people
of
the
world
conspired
against
the
second
Adam
,
and
brought
him
to
his
suffering
.
Again
,
the
first
Adam
by
sin
hath
brought
shame
upon
all
the
world
,
and
disgrace
.
And
now
the
world
do
put
upon
the
second
Adam
all
the
shame
and
disgrace
that
they
can
.
Again
,
the
first
Adam
forsook
God
and
his
wayes
,
and
now
the
second
Adam
is
forsaken
of
all
men
,
his
own
Disciples
forsake
him
.
Again
,
the
first
Adam
was
made
a
Captive
,
and
hath
captived
all
his
Posterity
,
and
now
the
second
Adam
suffering
for
our
sins
is
made
a
Captive
unto
sinners
.
But
passing
these
things
I
shall
touch
a
few
other
things
.
1.
See
to
what
a
degree
of
Impudence
the
Devil
can
blow
up
the
heart
of
an
Apostate
,
the
rebuking
question
of
Iesus
daunted
not
Iudas
nor
any
thing
else
that
was
said
,
or
done
.
2.
All
men
should
beware
of
rash
drawing
out
of
the
Sword
,
it
is
a
dangerous
thing
,
and
not
to
be
done
without
great
counsel
and
deliberation
.
3.
When
we
ask
counsel
,
it
is
necessary
to
have
patience
till
we
receive
an
answer
.
4.
Iesus
Christ
healed
Malchus
Ear.
It
is
a
Gospel
lesson
to
do
good
against
evil
,
Iesus
on
the
Cross
said
,
Father
,
forgive
them
,
they
know
not
what
they
do
.
5.
It
was
the
wisdome
and
love
of
Iesus
Christ
to
draw
a
speedy
cover
over
Peters
rash
act
,
&c.
&c.
CAP.
XI
.
The
History
of
the
Sufferings
of
Iesus
Christ
before
the
Council
of
the
Iews
,
who
condemned
him
to
dye
,
and
delivered
him
to
the
Roman
power
to
be
crucified
Ioh.

,

THen
the
band
,
and
the
Captain
,
and
the
Officers
of
the
Iews
took
Iesus
and
bound
him
,
and
led
him
away
to
Annas
first
,
for
he
was
Father
in
law
to
Caiaphas
,
who
was
high
Priest
that
same
year
,
now
Caiaphas
was
he
who
gave
counsel
to
the
Iews
,
that
it
was
expedient
that
one
should
dye
for
the
people
,
the
high
Priest
then
asked
Iesus
of
his
Disciples
,
and
of
his
doctrine
.
Iesus
answered
him
,
I
spake
openly
to
the
world
,
I
ever
taught
in
the
Synagogue
and
in
the
Temple
,
whither
the
Iews
alwayes
resort
;
and
in
secret
have
I
said
nothing
.
Why
askest
thou
me
?
ask
them
that
heard
me
,
what
I
have
said
unto
them
,
behold
they
know
what
I
said
.
And
when
he
had
thus
spoken
,
one
of
the
Officers
which
stood
by
struck
Iesus
with
the
palme
of
his
hand
,
saying
,
answerest
thou
the
High
Priest
so
?
Iesus
answered
,
if
I
have
spoken
evil
,
bear
witness
of
the
evil
,
but
if
well
,
why
smitest
thou
me
?
new
Annas
had
sent
him
bound
to
Caiaphas
Here
Iohn
maketh
mention
of
the
Captain
,
the
Band
,
and
the
Officers
,
now
this
Captain
was
conducted
by
Iudas
,
Luk.
22.47
.
he
that
was
called
Iudas
one
of
the
twelve
went
before
them
.
Why
Iudas
led
Iesus
first
unto
Annas
,
is
not
said
,
but
it
may
be
gathered
,
at
least
probably
,
he
was
the
ancientest
of
the
great
men
,
for
he
was
Father
in
law
to
Caiaphas
the
High
Priest
,
Iosephus
saith
of
him
,
that
he
was
a
wise
man
,
and
it
is
most
probable
that
Iudas
had
made
his
bargain
with
him
,
and
sold
his
Master
to
him
,
and
that
the
Band
and
Officers
that
Iudas
led
,
were
gathered
together
at
his
house
,
and
there
Iudas
had
his
Commission
,
and
from
them
marched
upon
his
exploit
to
apprehend
Iesus
,
and
therefore
when
they
had
taken
him
,
thither
they
brought
him
,
and
there
Iudas
was
discharged
,
for
we
hear
no
more
of
Judas
,
in
what
follows
.
But
when
they
came
there
,
Annas
considered
,
that
though
they
had
successively
acted
thus
far
,
and
had
got
him
into
his
hand
and
power
,
yet
now
their
proceedings
must
be
carryed
on
under
a
fair
colour
of
legal
proceedings
,
the
Council
must
be
called
together
,
Caiaphas
was
high
Priest
,
at
his
Palace
or
Hall
the
Court
must
be
kept
,
therefore
when
he
had
gloryed
over
his
Prisoner
,
and
had
the
honour
to
apprehend
him
,
he
sent
him
away
bound
unto
Caiaphas
,
but
we
read
not
that
he
sent
him
by
,
or
under
the
hand
of
Iudas
,
he
had
acted
his
part
sufficiently
.
Annas
sent
him
to
Caiaphas
,
because
he
was
a
vehement
prosecutor
of
this
business
of
putting
Jesus
to
death
.
Iohn
giveth
us
that
Reason
,
viz.
that
it
was
he
that
had
given
the
Iews
that
counsel
,
that
it
was
necessary
that
one
man
should
dye
for
the
people
,
to
be
made
a
piaculum
for
his
Country
,
to
please
the
Romans
.
which
was
the
manner
of
some
Nations
in
those
dayes
,
the
record
of
this
politick
device
of
Caiaphas
is
,
Joh.
11.46
,
ad
54.
But
some
of
them
went
their
wayes
to
the
Pharisees
,
and
told
them
what
things
Iesus
had
done
.
Then
gathered
the
chief
Priests
and
the
Pharisees
a
counsel
,
and
said
,
What
do
we
?
for
this
man
doth
many
miracles
.
If
we
let
him
thus
alone
,
all
men
will
believe
on
him
;
and
the
Romans
shall
come
,
and
take
away
both
our
place
and
Nation
.
And
one
of
them
named
Caiaphas
,
being
the
high
Priest
that
same
year
,
said
,
unto
them
,
Ye
know
nothing
at
all
.
Nor
consider
that
it
is
expedient
for
us
,
that
one
man
should
dye
for
the
people
,
and
the
whole
Nation
perish
not
.
And
this
spake
he
not
of
himself
,
but
being
high
Priest
that
year
,
he
prophesied
that
Iesus
should
dye
for
that
Nation
,
And
not
for
that
Nation
only
,
but
that
also
he
should
gather
together
in
one
,
the
Children
of
God
that
were
scattered
abroad
.
Then
from
that
day
forth
they
took
councel
together
for
to
put
him
to
death
.
In
which
History
we
may
first
see
the
occasion
of
this
vehement
motion
and
meeting
of
the
Council
,
and
the
taking
up
that
fixed
resolution
,
of
putting
Jesus
to
death
,
viz.
it
was
that
famous
miracle
which
he
did
,
in
raising
up
Lazarus
,
from
the
grave
,
after
he
had
been
dead
four
dayes
,
which
should
rather
have
awed
their
hearts
to
believe
in
him
,
(
as
many
did
)
then
so
to
provoke
them
to
envy
against
him
,
upon
that
groundless
pretence
that
it
would
provoke
the
Romans
to
overthrow
their
Nation
,
if
many
should
believe
in
him
:
The
Romans
alas
,
were
of
Gallio's
mind
,
they
cared
for
none
of
these
things
.
We
may
also
see
in
this
story
the
sovereign
wisdome
of
God
in
over-ruling
and
ordering
the
counsels
of
men
to
make
for
his
own
glory
,
and
for
the
accomplishment
of
his
own
holy
counsel
,
unknown
and
unconsidered
by
them
that
act
them
,
that
which
they
act
for
their
own
bad
ends
,
God
permitteth
them
,
and
over-ruleth
them
for
his
own
holy
ends
.
The
counsel
of
Caiaphas
was
cunning
,
but
bloody
,
yet
he
was
proud
of
it
,
in
his
own
conceipt
;
ye
are
a
company
(
saith
he
)
of
weak
men
that
know
nothing
at
all
(
and
yet
wise
Annas
his
Father
in
law
was
one
)
I
can
tell
you
of
a
project
whereby
we
shall
gratifie
the
Romans
,
and
render
our selves
wise
Patriots
,
that
seek
the
Redemption
of
our
Country
,
&c.
ah
poor
man
that
is
so
sinful
an
under-worker
of
so
glorious
a
part
of
Gods
holy
counsel
.
God
meant
good
to
Israel
his
Church
,
howbeit
he
meaneth
not
so
,
neither
doth
his
heart
think
so
,
Isai.
11.7
.
for
such
reasons
as
these
,
Annas
sent
him
bound
,
(
an
insulting
act
over
our
suffering
Lord
Iesus
)
unto
Caiaphas
,
from
post
to
Pillar
.
When
Annas
was
come
,
and
had
brought
his
Prisoner
,
all
the
Council
were
quickly
together
,
though
it
was
about
midnight
,
men
cannot
sleep
till
they
have
accomplished
their
wicked
designs
.
They
presently
(
for
they
were
in
haste
to
make
quick
dispatch
)
call
a
Court
,
and
sit
as
a
Court
of
Judgement
.
But
it
was
a
private
Court
,
not
publick
;
a
night
Court
,
not
open
for
all
that
would
:
they
set
a
Porter
that
kept
the
dore
,
that
none
but
friends
to
their
wicked
design
(
as
much
as
in
them
lay
)
should
come
in
,
Joh.
18.16
.
Peter
stood
without
,
then
went
forth
that
other
Disciple
which
was
known
to
the
high
Priest
,
and
spake
unto
her
that
kept
the
dore
,
and
brought
in
Peter
.
Whether
he
that
brought
in
Peter
did
not
stretch
the
line
of
Truth
too
far
,
it
is
not
said
,
but
she
that
kept
the
dore
was
a
notable
Virago
,
and
soon
challenged
Peter
,
and
drew
forth
his
first
denyal
of
his
Lord
.
Why
the
Court
was
so
private
may
easily
be
gathered
,
they
had
guilty
Consciences
,
and
were
about
a
black
work
of
darkness
,
and
therefore
the
dark
night
was
not
security
enough
to
them
,
but
they
must
have
a
Porter
at
the
dore
,
and
one
that
had
animosity
sufficient
,
and
that
they
might
confide
in
:
they
feared
that
the
people
would
rescue
him
out
of
their
hands
.
It
is
an
ill
sign
,
that
the
state
of
that
people
,
and
the
actings
of
those
Rulers
,
are
all
sick
,
and
near
to
some
publick
calamity
;
when
they
are
in
such
fears
and
jealousies
of
each
other
.
As
for
Peters
getting
in
,
and
bold
carriage
like
a
spy
,
managing
himself
as
if
were
unconcerned
,
sta●ding
to
the
fire
;
but
overtalking
,
too
busy
with
his
tongue
,
&c.
though
the
〈◊〉
made
a
sad
use
of
it
to
Peter
,
in
lying
and
denying
his
Master
,
and
cursing
self
or
wishing
ill
to
himself
if
he
knew
him
,
&c.
yet
Iesus
Christ
looking
over
his
shoulder
upon
Peter
,
Luk.
22.6
.
made
good
use
of
it
,
for
the
humbling
of
Peter
,
and
warning
of
us
,
and
yet
providing
a
witness
how
they
handled
Jesus
Christ
in
their
private
Court
.
Sect.
2.
Come
we
now
to
the
first
act
of
the
Council
,
which
acts
laid
in
order
together
,
appear
to
be
six
.
FIrst
,
the
high
Priest
did
interrogate
,
Jesus
of
his
Disciples
,
and
of
his
doctrine
,
Joh.
18.19
.
what
he
asked
concerning
his
Disciples
is
not
said
,
nor
was
it
worth
the
answering
unto
,
probably
he
might
enquire
what
chief
men
of
mark
and
danger
,
might
be
among
them
?
alas
,
Jesus
Christ
had
only
Fishermen
,
and
men
of
inferiour
rank
,
Mathew
the
Publican
was
one
of
the
chief
,
and
therefore
it
is
like
that
the
Court
insisted
not
upon
this
point
.
But
that
question
about
his
doctrine
,
Jesus
Christ
saw
it
wisdome
to
answer
unto
.
There
question
was
not
to
know
and
learn
his
doctrine
,
for
had
it
been
so
,
Jesus
Christ
would
surely
have
taught
them
;
the
willing
and
obedient
Ear
shall
be
instructed
.
But
their
Questions
were
captious
,
intimating
that
his
doctrine
was
false
,
and
crope
in
secretly
,
now
they
are
willing
to
search
him
out
,
this
is
to
be
gathered
out
of
Jesus
Christ
his
answer
,
Ioh.
18.20
,
21.
Iesus
answered
him
,
I
spake
openly
to
the
World
,
I
ever
taught
in
the
Synagogue
and
Temple
,
whether
the
Iews
alwayes
resort
,
in
secret
have
I
said
nothing
,
why
askest
thou
me
,
ask
them
that
heard
me
what
I
have
said
unto
them
,
behold
they
know
what
I
have
said
.
Jesus
Christ
here
declareth
,
that
his
doctrine
and
manner
of
publishing
it
,
both
matter
and
manner
had
signs
of
truth
,
and
not
of
error
,
which
is
expressed
in
sundry
particulars
.
1.
I
spake
openly
to
the
World
.
I
did
not
pick
my
Company
,
I
let
all
that
would
,
hear
me
,
errors
use
to
be
carried
secretly
,
truth
is
open
,
seeks
no
corners
,
and
so
hath
my
preaching
alwayes
been
.
2.
I
taught
,
(
viz.
when
I
solemnly
preached
on
the
Sabbath
dayes
,
Luk.
4.16
.
and
as
his
custome
was
he
went
into
the
Synagogue
on
the
Sabbath
day
,
and
stood
up
for
to
read
)
in
the
Synagogues
,
allowed
places
for
publick
meetings
,
for
any
that
will
come
to
hear
.
3.
I
ever
taught
(
when
opportunity
served
)
in
the
Temple
,
whither
all
the
Jews
resort
.
This
is
not
exclusive
of
such
times
,
as
sometimes
he
took
,
to
teach
in
a
Mountain
,
Math.
5.1
.
or
on
the
shrouds
of
a
ship
,
Math.
13.2
.
4.
In
secret
I
have
said
nothing
,
that
is
nothing
contrary
to
,
or
differing
from
what
I
taught
in
publick
.
This
is
not
exclusive
of
his
discourses
by
the
way
,
or
in
private
houses
,
where
he
expounded
to
his
Disciples
that
which
he
had
publickly
taught
in
parables
,
Mark
.
4.34
.
when
they
were
alone
,
he
expounded
all
things
to
his
Disciples
.
Hence
then
Iesus
inferreth
,
that
if
they
suspected
him
of
false
doctrine
,
ask
them
that
heard
me
,
they
can
tell
it
,
why
do
you
ask
me
?
that
is
not
the
right
way
to
find
out
cunning
teachers
of
error
,
bu●
the
right
way
is
by
taking
Testimony
from
such
as
heard
.
The
next
thing
that
followed
this
answer
of
Iesus
Christ
,
not
as
an
effect
or
just
consequence
thereof
,
but
an
abusive
,
scornful
,
unworthy
misinterpretation
of
the
words
of
Iesus
Christ
,
with
a
most
rude
and
uncivil
behaviour
added
thereunto
,
Ioh.
18.22
.
when
he
had
thus
spoken
one
of
the
Officers
or
Servants
which
stood
〈◊〉
struck
Iesus
with
the
palme
of
his
hand
,
saying
,
answerest
thou
the
high
Priest
so
?
1.
He
that
smote
him
was
an
under
Officer
,
or
a
Servant
,
as
the
word
signifies
.
When
the
chief
Rulers
,
especially
the
high
Priests
are
set
against
Jesus
,
to
persecute
him
,
it
is
no
marvell
that
their
under
Officers
and
Servants
are
as
ill
minded
as
their
Masters
,
&
then
they
will
be
so
rude
as
this
act
shews
them
to
be
.
It
was
a
great
suffering
of
our
Lord
Jesus
that
under
Officers
and
Servants
should
so
insult
over
him
.
2.
He
smote
him
with
the
palm
of
his
hand
,
as
our
English
Translation
renders
the
word
:
we
call
it
a
Box
or
Cuff
on
the
ear
or
cheek
.
The
word
also
signifies
to
smite
with
a
rod
,
reed
or
walking
Staff
;
either
way
was
impudent
,
contemptuous
and
scornfull
.
3.
He
backs
his
smiting
him
with
a
Reproach
,
Answerest
thou
the
high
Priest
so
?
As
if
he
had
made
a
faulty
Answer
,
dishonourable
to
the
high
Priest
.
But
he
sheweth
that
he
put
a
bad
construction
on
his
speech
,
and
imputes
it
to
him
as
a
Reproach
.
4.
All
this
was
done
in
the
face
of
the
Court
,
without
any
check
given
him
that
we
hear
of
;
shewing
that
they
were
all
conspired
to
abuse
our
Lord
Jesus
.
See
a
like
example
of
this
abuse
done
unto
our
Lord
Jesus
.
1
King
.
22.24
.
And
Zedekiah
the
Son
of
Chenaanan
went
neer
and
smote
Micaiah
on
the
cheek
,
and
said
,
Which
way
went
the
Spirit
of
the
Lord
from
me
to
speak
unto
thee
?
To
this
saucy
fellow
Jesus
answered
with
a
convincing
and
reproving
Dilemma
,
so
clear
,
and
so
wisely
placed
,
that
he
spake
above
exception
.
The
first
part
or
horn
of
t●e
Dilemma
is
this
,
If
I
have
spoken
evill
,
shew
it
,
bear
witness
of
it
.
The
second
part
or
horn
is
,
if
I
have
spoken
well
,
why
smitest
thou
me
?
Which
answer
of
our
Lord
,
quite
stopped
their
mouthes
,
and
put
all
to
silence
.
Out
of
this
small
part
of
the
Sufferings
of
our
Lord
we
may
gather
up
some
Instruction
.
1.
When
Church-men
are
Persecutors
,
the
Persecution
will
be
bitter
,
as
Jesus
found
it
,
so
did
Jeremy
:
Church-men
are
usually
more
cunning
,
more
bold
,
more
seared
in
conscience
,
more
cruel
.
2.
Carnal
Professors
will
insult
and
domineer
over
the
Godly
when
they
have
power
in
their
hand
.
3.
Persecuting
Professors
will
put
the
handsomest
face
they
can
upon
the
vilest
actions
.
4.
God
can
and
will
over-rule
the
cunningest
Counsells
and
contrivances
of
Persecutors
,
to
subserve
his
Counsel
.
5.
Guilty
consciences
love
Secresy
,
and
to
act
behind
the
curtain
.
6.
It
is
dangerous
to
intrude
our selves
into
a
place
or
way
of
Temptation
,
as
Peter
did
;
it
may
expose
us
to
lye
or
deny
Christ
,
and
curse
our selves
;
as
all
these
falls
and
knocks
Peter
felt
.
7.
Truth
is
alwayes
serene
,
open
,
seeks
no
corners
to
hide
it self
.
8.
When
Rulers
are
wicked
,
such
as
are
under
them
will
be
violent
.
9.
A
girt
convincing
Answer
,
will
stop
the
mouth
of
the
worst
of
enemies
.

The
second
Act
of
the
Council
.
MAth.
26.59
.
ad
63.
Now
the
chief
Priests
and
Elders
and
all
the
Councel
sought
false
witness
against
Iesus
to
put
him
to
death
.
But
found
none
;
yea
though
many
false
Witnesses
came
,
yet
found
they
none
.
At
the
last
came
two
false
witnesses
and
said
,
This
fellow
said
,
I
am
able
to
destroy
the
Temple
of
God
,
and
to
build
it
in
three
dayes
.
And
the
high
Priest
arose
and
said
,
Answeredst
thou
nothing
?
What
is
it
which
these
witness
against
thee
?
And
Iesus
held
his
peace
.
Mark
.
14.55
.
ad
61.
And
the
chief
Priests
and
all
the
Counsell
sought
for
witness
against
Iesus
,
to
put
him
to
death
,
and
found
none
.
For
many
bare
false
Witness
against
him
;
but
their
witness
agreed
not
together
.
And
there
arose
certain
,
and
bare
false
witness
against
him
,
saying
,
We
heard
him
say
,
I
will
destroy
this
Temple
made
with
hands
,
and
within
three
dayes
I
will
build
another
made
without
hands
.
But
neither
did
their
Witness
agree
together
.
And
the
high
Priest
stood
up
in
the
mids
,
and
asked
Iesus
saying
,
Answerest
thou
nothing
?
What
is
it
which
these
witness
against
thee
?
But
he
held
his
peace
,
and
answered
nothing
.
Here
see
,
1.
That
though
they
so
abused
our
Lord
Iesus
for
his
Answer
,
and
for
putting
them
upon
the
right
way
of
enquiring
,
viz
to
ask
his
hearers
,
to
s●e
if
they
could
testifie
any
thing
against
him
:
for
in
his
Answer
he
had
vindicated
himself
and
his
Doctrine
,
both
for
matter
and
manner
;
therefore
if
they
would
find
any
thing
against
him
,
it
must
be
by
Witnesses
that
heard
him
;
yet
now
they
are
necessitated
to
fall
to
this
course
,
as
Jesus
had
said
,
though
they
had
abused
him
for
so
saying
.
2.
All
the
Counsel
there
present
,
were
unanimous
in
what
they
doe
:
&
what
do
they
?
They
sought
for
false
Witnesses
,
that
they
might
find
some
matter
;
or
at
least
appearance
of
some
matter
,
for
which
they
might
put
him
to
death
.
They
carried
themselves
,
and
managed
the
matter
so
,
that
all
might
easily
see
their
intent
,
to
find
some
matter
whereof
to
accuse
him
.
Because
they
were
resolved
to
put
him
to
death
,
they
sought
not
for
what
was
true
,
just
,
righteous
,
but
for
something
to
criminate
him
,
by
Witnesses
.
they
cared
not
though
it
were
false
Witness
.
They
encouraged
them
to
testifie
any
thing
.
And
when
they
misrepresented
his
words
and
meaning
,
they
took
the
advantage
to
wring
his
words
to
the
worst
sense
,
as
appeareth
in
that
Instance
,
when
Christ
said
,
They
would
ruine
and
destroy
this
Temple
,
his
Body
,
and
he
would
raise
it
up
again
the
third
day
.
So
John
representeth
his
words
,
Ioh.
2.19
.
he
spake
of
the
Temple
of
his
Body
.
Nor
was
there
any
capital
crime
in
it
as
they
represented
his
words
,
yet
any
thing
will
,
serve
their
turn
,
to
be
a
seeming
matter
of
accusation
.
3.
They
could
find
nothing
wherein
two
witnesses
agreed
,
among
all
the
false
witnesses
,
untill
two
witnesses
spake
about
destroying
the
Temple
&
raising
it
again
in
three
dayes
.
And
yet
these
two
witnesses
agreed
not
in
all
points
,
as
Mar.
14.59
.
te●tifieth
.
Thus
they
wearied
themselves
in
vain
,
finding
nothing
against
him
,
which
left
their
envy
naked
,
without
any
pretence
of
a
covering
.
4.
Then
the
high
Priest
devised
another
device
,
viz.
to
draw
out
Jesus
Christ
to
speak
;
for
he
kept
silence
all
this
while
.
Could
they
draw
him
out
to
speak
,
they
might
entangle
him
in
his
words
,
which
artifice
they
had
formerly
used
to
catch
him
by
.
Mat
,
22.15
.
so
now
again
they
attempt
that
way
.
The
high
Priest
stood
up
(
a
good
civill
deportment
in
publick
affairs
)
and
put
him
upon
answering
unto
what
they
said
;
and
to
sharpen
and
quicken
the
matter
,
he
putteth
him
on
in
a
rebuking
way
:
What
?
Answerest
thou
nothing
?
What
is
this
that
these
witness
against
thee
?
But
this
Stratagem
prevailed
not
,
Jesus
still
held
his
peace
.
Quest.
Why
did
Jesus
hold
his
peace
and
answer
nothing
?
Answ.
1.
Because
there
was
nothing
to
answer
unto
:
they
proved
nothing
;
their
witnesses
agreed
not
,
they
confuted
themselves
,
they
could
fix
and
fasten
nothing
:
there
was
no
need
of
an
answer
,
and
in
such
case
it
is
best
to
keep
silence
.
2.
He
held
his
peace
to
fullfill
the
Scriptures
Isa.
53.7
.
He
was
oppressed
and
afflicted
,
yet
opened
he
not
his
mouth
.
He
is
brought
as
a
Lamb
to
the
slaughter
,
and
as
a
sheep
before
her
shearers
is
dumb
,
so
he
opened
not
his
mouth
.
3.
He
held
his
peace
,
because
though
he
was
perfectly
innocent
himself
,
of
all
they
accused
him
of
,
yet
some
or
other
of
his
Elect
might
be
at
some
time
or
other
guilty
of
such
evills
as
they
falsly
imputed
to
him
,
in
whose
room
and
stead
he
stood
and
suffered
.
4.
He
held
his
peace
because
he
was
willing
to
dye
for
his
Elect
,
to
expiate
the
sins
of
Gods
Elect.

unto
him

adjure
thee
by

living

thou

say

Priest
asked
him

him

Jesus
said
,

am

ye
shall
see
the
son

sitting
on

see
,
1.
The
high
Priest
and
Council
finding
and
perceiving
plainly
,
that
they
could
find
no
just
matter
against
him
,
nor
any
colour
or
appearance
thereof
,
they
invented
another
way
to
pick
an
appearance
of
matter
against
him
,
which
might
seem
to
be
of
weight
in
the
eyes
of
the
Jews
,
though
it
would
be
of
no
consideration
among
the
Romans
:
and
that
was
by
an
open
and
solemn
putting
Jesus
to
answer
whether
he
was
the
Messias
or
no.
For
-
1.
If
he
denied
it
,
or
would
not
confess
it
,
that
would
much
ease
and
advantage
them
in
putting
him
to
Death
,
because
they
had
found
something
of
that
point
against
him
.
-
2.
If
he
should
confess
it
,
that
he
is
Christ
the
Messiah
,
they
were
resolved
to
make
that
the
crime
for
which
they
would
condemn
him
.
Mark
relateth
only
the
bare
question
,
art
thou
the
Christ
,
the
Son
of
the
blessed
?
Mathew
relates
the
question
more
fervent
,
for
if
this
device
had
failed
,
they
had
no
appearance
of
a
cause
to
condemn
him
.
Therefore
to
make
sure
work
,
the
high
Priest
saith
,
I
adjure
by
the
living
God
,
answer
plainly
,
and
catagorically
to
this
question
,
art
thou
Christ
,
or
Messiah
the
Son
of
the
living
God
?
where
1.
See
what
the
Jews
saith
then
was
,
touching
the
Messiah
,
whom
they
then
looked
for
,
viz.
that
he
was
to
be
such
a
man
,
as
also
is
the
Son
of
God
.
God
and
man
in
one
person
,
which
is
the
same
Faith
that
now
the
Gentile
Churches
believe
according
to
the
Scriptures
,
and
the
same
point
is
manifest
by
Peters
answer
unto
Christ
,
according
to
the
Faith
of
the
Church
of
the
Jews
,

in
that
famous
Confession
of
Peter
.
Thou
art
Christ
the
Son
of
the
living
God
.
2.
Vnto
this
question
of
the
high
Priest
,
and
Council
,
Jesus
Christ
answereth
two
things
.
1.
He
maketh
a
plain
,
clear
,
and
direct
answer
,
Mark
.
14.62
.
I
am
he
,
Math.

64.
Thou
hast
said
it
,
it
is
as
thou
hast
said
.
2.
He
proveth
it
by
the
consequent
,
viz.
the
two
next
acts
and
dispensations
of
Christ
which
they
shall
see
,
viz.
1.
From
hence
forward
,
you
shall
see
Christ
the
Son
of
man
sitting
at
the
right
hand
of
power
,
that
is
,
you
shall
see
the
mighty
power
of
Gospel
grace
of
Christ
Jesus
,
in
the
conversion
both
of
Jews
and
Gentiles
,
and
so
going
on
until
the
last
and
final
conversion
of
the
Jews
,
which
we
hope
for
at
this
day
.
2.
The
next
and
last
act
of
Jesus
Christ
in
this
world
,
you
shall
see
him
coming
in
the
Clouds
of
Heaven
,
viz.
in
power
and
great
glory
,
to
judge
the
World
.

The
fourth
act
of
the
Council
.
WHen
Jesus
Christ
had
made
this
clear
confession
,
that
he
is
Christ
the
Messiah
,
then
they
thus
proceeded
,
Math.
26.65
,
66.
Then
the
high
Pri●st
rent
his
clothes
,
saying
,
He
hath
spoken
blasphemy
,
what
further
need
have
we
of
witnesses
?
behold
now
ye
have
heard
his
blasphemy
.
What
think
ye
?
They
answered
and
said
,
He
is
guilty
of
death
.
Mar.
14.63
,

Then
the
high
Priest
rent
his
clothes
,
and
said
,
What
need
we
any
further
witnesses
?
Ye
have
heard
the
Blasphemy
:
what
think
ye
?
And
they
all
condemned
him
to
be
guilty
of
death
.
1.
The
high
Priest
rent
his
garment
,
it
may
be
the
rest
did
the
same
,
though
it
be
not
expressed
.
2.
He
saith
,
he
hath
blasphemed
,
viz.
by
confessing
that
he
is
Christ
the
Messiah
.
3.
You
the
judges
,
the
whole
Court
have
heard
his
blasphemy
.
4.
We
need
no
further
witnesses
to
find
matter
against
him
,
to
condemn
him
to
dy
,
this
that
we
have
heard
is
matter
sufficient
.
5.
They
all
expressed
themselves
to
be
of
the
same
mind
and
opinion
.
6.
The
high
Priest
put
it
to
the
Vote
,
what
think
you
?
7.
They
all
passed
their
Vote
,
and
so
the
sentence
of
condemnation
was
pronounced
against
our
Lord
Jesus
,
for
confessing
that
he
is
Christ
,
the
Son
of
the
living
God
.
And
no
other
cause
,
or
appearance
of
a
cause
could
the●
find
against
him
,
saving
this
only
:
a
blessed
cause
,
wherein
Christ
himself
was
the
first
Gospel
Martyr
,
John
Baptist
was
martyred
for
his
faithful
discharging
the
office
of
a
Prophet
,
in
telling
Herod
of
his
sins
.
But
Jesus
Christ
was
condemned
to
dye
meerly
,
purely
for
this
his
confession
,
and
for
nothing
else
,
no
not
so
much
as
pretended
.
All
this
was
done
in
the
night
,
the
blackest
work
of
darkness
that
ever
was
done
in
this
world
.
They
began
their
clandestine
night
Court
about
midnight
,
they
pursued
their
work
in
the
manner
above
related
,
until
about
the
second
crowing
of
the
Cocks
,
about
that
time
they
condemned
him
.
Sect.
6.
The
fifth
act
of
the
Council
.
WHen
they
had
done
this
wicked
deed
,
in
condemning
our
Lord
Jesus
to
dye
,
it
being
deep
in
the
night
,
They
committed
their
condemned
Prisoner
unto
a
company
of
men
,
to
keep
him
fast
and
safe
until
the
morning
,
and
then
adjourned
the
Court
till
the
morning
.
And
so
this
dark
Sessions
of
this
Court
was
ended
.
It
cometh
now
to
be
considered
how
they
used
him
this
latter
part
of
the
night
until
the
morning
,
when
the
Council
met
again
,
if
any
bowels
of
mercy
had
moved
in
them
,
they
should
have
given
him
some
refreshing
,
and
opportunity
to
take
some
rest
.
but
they
were
mercyless
unto
him
,
who
is
the
spring
of
all
mercy
to
us
,
they
used
him
cruelly
,
which
usage
is
set
forth
.
1.
By
the
actors
,
a
company
of
men
,
that
were
charged
with
the
safe
keeping
of
him
till
the
morning
,
they
are
called
,
Luk.
22.63
.
a
chosen
company
fitted
for
the
purpose
,
that
they
could
confide
in
,
spirited
like
their
Masters
.
2.
The
time
of
their
commission
to
keep
him
,
till
morning
,
which
was
about
the
space
of
three
hours
.
3.
The
several
acts
of
horrible
abuse
,
which
they
did
unto
him
in
time
of
their
charge
and
commission
.
1.
They
spit
upon
him
,
Mark
.
14.65
.
which
is
an
act
of
the
greatest
disdain
in
the
doer
,
and
of
the
greatest
disgrace
in
the
sufferer
,
a
contempt
that
few
will
do
to
a
dog
,
especially
in
the
Nation
of
the
Jew
,
it
was
a
very
great
contempt
,
which
the
Lord
himself
foretold
and
described
,
Luk.
18.32
.
he
shall
be
mocked
,
spitefully
intreated
,
and
spit
upon
.
2.
They
spit
in
his
face
,
Math.
26.67
.
this
was
the
highest
degree
of
the
reproach
of
spitting
.
God
gave
a
Law
about
it
,
Deut.
25.7
,
8
,
9
,
10.
it
is
the
disgrace
of
him
that
is
unkind
to
his
brother
,
a
most
improper
and
unsuitable
disgrace
unto
Jesus
Christ
,
when
he
was
doing
the
greatest
act
of
love
and
kindness
not
only
to
his
Brother
,
but
to
his
Enemies
.
3.
They
mocked
him
,
Luk.
22.63
.
and
the
next
word
sheweth
that
there
were
cruel
mockings
,
as
it
is
said
,
Heb.
11.36
.
the
persecuted
Saints
were
so
used
,
and

word
which
the
Holy
Ghost
useth

doth
signifie
such
blows
as
do
break

Skin
;
and
flayed
off
some
part
of
the
skin
,
where
the
blow
fell
,
which
was
very
cruel

according
as
the
Prophet
describeth
such
cruelty

off
their
skin
from

he
was
bruised
for
our
iniquities
,
they
smote
him
so
hard
that
they
bruised
him
with
their
blows
.
5.
They
blind-folded
him
,
and
then
boxed
him
on
the
face
,
and
with
blasphemous
mocking
and
scorn
,
said
,
thou
Christ
prophesy
who
smote
thee
,
Math.
26.68
.
such
blasphemy
would
affright
a
modest
heart
to
hear
it
,
but
no
doubt
they
made
great
sport
and
laughter
at
it
.
6.
It
was
an
aggravation
of
these
abuses
,
that
every
base
fellow
and
serva●●
had
liberty
thus
to
abuse
our
Lord
Jesus
,
Mark
.
14.65
.
and
the
servants
did
strike
him
with
the
palms
of
their
hands
,
they
devised
many
wayes
to
put
contempt
upon
him
,
and
to
make
sport
for
themselves
.
7.
They
plucked
off
his
hair
,
viz.
of
his
face
,
or
head
,
or
both
.
This
abuse
is
mentioned
in
the
Prophets
,
Isai.
50.6
.
I
gave
my
back
to
the
smiters
,
and
my
cheeks
to
them
that
pluck
off
the
hair
,
I
bid
not
my
face
from
shame
and
spitting
.
8.
They
spake
many
other
blasphemous
words
against
him
,
which
the
holy
Ghost
abhorreth
to
mention
,
Luk.
22.65
.
and
many
other
things
blasphemously
spake
they
against
him
,
with
which
they
busied
and
sported
themselves
all
the
night
.
9.
They
were
charged
to
watch
and
keep
him
,
and
therefore
they
might
not
sleep
,
and
they
kept
themselves
thus
employed
,
and
thereby
did
not
only
hinder
Jesus
Christ
from
taking
any
rest
,
but
also
they
did
grieve
,
vex
,
and
provoke
his
Spirit
most
bitterly
.
It
was
the
saddest
night
that
ever
was
spent
.
And
thus
they
did
till
morning
light
;
for
then
the
Council
met
again
,
Luk.
22.66
.
and
called
Jesus
before
them
.
This
is
the
Lamentation
,
that
these
that
did
this
vile
injury
to
Jesus
Christ
,
were
of
his
own
to
whom
he
was
sent
,
but
they
would
not
own
him
,
but
condemned
him
to
dy
,
which
was
the
work
he
came
to
perform
:
and
when
they
had
nailed
him
to
the
cross
,
he
pardoned
them
and
prayed
for
them
.
When
visible
Professors
of
Jesus
Christ
are
Persecutors
of
Christ
,
they
will
be
violent
and
cruel
,
as
now
these
were
against
Christ
.
And
no
marvail
that
the
Servants
and
inferiours
were
so
cruel
against
Christ
,
for
they
knew
that
they
pleased
their
Superiours
and
Masters
.
When
Saul
persecuted
David
,
every
abject
durst
vent
his
venome
against
David
:
and
Doeg
fears
not
to
be
an
informer
against
him
.
When
Absolom
rose
up
against
David
,
is
it
any
wonder
that
Shimei
durst
shew
himself
to
curse
David
?
The
horrible
crueltyes
and
indignityes
of
these
Jewish
Watchmen
,
that
had
the
charge
of
keeping
their
condemned
Prisoner
,
will
all
,
in
many
respects
stand
upon
the
account
of
the
high
Priests
and
Rulers
.
They
opened
their
own
envy
so
bare
and
naked
,
that
every
body
might
see
it
.
And
therefore
their
creatures
were
bold
to
do
any
thing
against
the
Lord
Jesus
.

And
assoon
as
it
was
day
,
the
Elders
of
the
people
and
the
chief
Priests
and
the
Scribes
came
together
,
and
led
him
into
their
Councell
saying
,
Art
thou
the
Christ
?
tell
us
,
and
he
said
unto
them
,
if
I
tell
you
,
you
will
not
believe
,
and
if
I
also
ask
you
,
you
will
not
answer
me
,
nor
let
me
go
.
Hereafter
shall
the
Son
of
man
sit
on
the
right
hand
of
the
power
of
God
.
Then
said
they
all
,
art
thou
then
the
Son
of
God
?
And
he
said
unto
them
,
ye
say
that
I
am
.
And
they
said
,
what
need
we
any
further
witness
?
for
we
our selves
have
heard
of
his
own
mouth
.
It
was
about
Cocks
crowing
when
Jesus
Christ
was
condemned
,
committed
to
safe
custody
under
a
strong
guard
.
The
Court
adjourned
till
morning
,
all
the
abuses
that
these
carnal
keepers
inflicted
on
Jesus
,
the
remainder
of
the
night
,
I
refer
unto
the
fifth
act
of
the
Council
;
which
for
time
extended
till
morning
,
and
for
cruelty
it
extended
to
Hell
.
Now
in
preparation
for
their
proceeding
in
the
morning
,
they
held
a
close
and
private
consultation
how
to
manage
this
great
business
.
For
seeing
they
now
had
(
according
as
they
long
desired
and
contrived
to
doe
)
apprehended
him
and
condemned
him
,
they
were
resolved
to
put
him
to
death
.
But
they
foresaw
many
difficultyes
in
effecting
it
.
The
points
considered
,
plotted
and
agreed
in
this
private
consultation
,
were
sundry
:
and
their
agreement
may
be
gathered
out
of
the
answer
of
Jesus
Christ
in
the
morning
,
who
gave
them
to
understand
that
he
knew
their
pl●●s
,
to
convince
their
Consciences
that
he
was
Christ
the
Messiah
,
for
the
asserting
whereof
they
had
condemned
him
.
The
Points
considered
of
were
such
as
these
,
1.
We
must
be
speedy
in
our
motions
and
progress
,
before
the
people
know
that
we
have
apprehended
him
.
For
it
was
about
midnight
that
he
was
apprehended
,
and
brought
to
Annas
and
Caiphas
.
It
was
about
cocks
crowing
when
he
was
condemned
;
he
must
be
put
to
death
and
buried
before
the
Sabbath
;
for
if
we
slack
the
time
,
the
people
will
surely
rescue
him
.
2.
They
considered
that
we
must
speedily
deliver
him
out
of
our
hand
,
into
the
Romane
hand
and
power
,
and
it
must
be
done
early
in
the
morning
before
the
people
gather
together
and
hear
of
it
;
for
otherwise
the
people
will
surely
rescue
him
out
of
our
hand
;
but
out
of
the
Romans
hand
,
they
cannot
,
they
dare
not
attempt
it
.
3.
Pilate
must
be
carefully
prepared
for
this
matter
.
Some
of
us
that
may
be
most
acceptable
to
him
and
prevailing
with
him
,
must
undertake
that
matter
.
4.
Though
Pilate
was
a
Pagan
,
yet
they
knew
him
to
be
wise
,
just
,
and
of
a
noble
Romane
spirit
,
he
will
strictly
examine
the
case
;
and
we
know
that
we
have
no
witnesses
unto
any
thing
we
accuse
him
of
,
wherein
the
witnesses
agree
,
saving
in
that
Point
of
destroying
the
Temple
and
raising
it
again
in
three
dayes
,
and
in
that
Point
the
witnesses
do
not
punctually
agree
:
nor
will
Pilate
think
or
judge
it
a
Capital
matter
if
they
did
agree
.
5.
These
considered
that
they
had
but
one
capital
matter
against
him
,
viz.
that
he
confessed
openly
before
our
Court
that
he
is
Christ
the
Son
of
God
,
which
by
our
Law
is
Capital
,
not
by
the
Romane
Law
.
And
this
is
the
only
point
that
we
can
plead
against
him
.
And
this
they
did
plead
,
Joh.
19.7
.
We
have
a
Law
,
and
by
our
Law
he
ought
to
dye
,
because
be
made
himself
the
Son
of
God
.
But
of
this
we
must
speak
hereafter
.
6.
They
considered
that
of
this
point
we
have
no
witnesses
,
only
his
own
confession
,
and
what
if
he
should
deny
it
,
or
not
confess
it
before
Pilate
;
therefore
we
must
make
this
point
sure
.
7.
Hereupon
they
agreed
early
in
the
morning
,
before
the
people
be
stirring
,
to
sit
in
Council
again
,
and
examine
Jesus
about
this
point
onl●
,
to
bring
him
to
confess
it
a
second
time
,
and
to
try
if
he
will
stand
to
it
.
And
if
he
ask
any
question
to
divert
or
delay
us
,
answer
him
not
a
word
to
any
thing
,
but
hold
him
to
this
point
only
,
to
make
the
matter
of
our
accusation
strong
again●●
him
,
and
clear
.
8.
Care
was
taken
to
advise
as
great
a
Crew
of
their
own
side
,
as
they
co
ld
,
to
stand
next
to
the
Court
,
and
exclude
others
as
much
as
handsomely
they
could
,
so
they
acted
.
Very
early
all
the
Council
(
viz.
all
that
consented
and
conspired
in
this
murther
)
met
,
Luk.
22.66
.
as
soon
as
it
was
day
the
Elders
of
the
people
,
and
the
chief
Priests
,
and
the
Scribes
came
together
,
and
led
him
into
their
Council
,
surely
they
had
taken
but
little
rest
,
they
verified
that
saying
of
Solomon
,
Prov.
4.16
.
they
sleep
not
except
they
have
done
mischief
,
and
their
sleep
is
taken
away
,
unless
they
cause
some
to
fall
.
They
interrogate
him
again
about
the
same
point
,
for
which
they
had
condemned
him
,
not
out
of
remorse
or
regret
of
heart
,
but
of
crafty
designe
,
Luk.
22.67
.
art
thou
the
Christ
tell
us
?
The
first
part
of
Jesus
his
answer
is
,
Luk.
22.67
,
68.
if
I
tell
you
,
you
will
not
believe
,
and
if
I
also
ask
you
,
you
will
not
answer
me
,
nor
let
me
go
.
Wherein
Jesus
Christ
doth
manifest
to
them
,
that
he
knew
their
agreement
in
their
secret
counsel
.
Whereby
he
proveth
to
their
Consciences
that
he
is
the
Son
of
God
.
Again
,
he
declareth
to
them
,
that
the
end
and
scope
of
their
question
was
not
to
be
informed
in
the
point
,
that
they
might
believe
,
for
they
were
resolved
not
to
believe
.
Again
he
telleth
them
,
if
I
ask
you
any
thing
,
you
are
agreed
that
you
will
not
answer
me
again
;
whatsoever
I
say
,
you
will
not
let
me
goe
:
you
are
resolved
to
kill
me
.
Thus
plainly
doth
he
lay
open
their
design
,
and
resolution
in
their
private
Councell
,
and
detecteth
them
in
their
open
Councel
,
so
open
as
it
was
.
The
2d
.
part
of
the
Answer
of
Jesus
Christ
is
ver.
69.
Hereafter
shall
the
Son
of
Man
sit
at
the
right
hand
of
the
power
of
God
.
The
sense
and
meaning
of
which
words
they
understood
,
viz.
that
though
they
now
see
him
in
this
low
estate
of
his
Humiliation
;
yet
the
next
appearance
that
they
shall
see
him
in
,
is
,
at
the
right
hand
of
the
power
of
God
.
Then
they
fully
opened
their
trap
,
and
say
,
Art
thou
then
the
Son
of
God
?
v.
70.
And
this
is
to
be
observed
,
that
they
were
so
eager
upon
their
design
that
they
spake
all
at
once
,
Then
they
all
said
.
Then
Jesus
cleerly
answered
,
You
say
that
I
am
,
and
I
confess
it
is
as
you
say
,
that
is
the
meaning
of
that
form
of
speech
,
&
they
were
ready
&
willing
so
to
take
it
.
Now
they
are
satisfied
,
they
have
gotten
that
which
they
fished
for
,
ver.
71.
And
they
said
,
what
need
we
any
further
witnesses
,
for
we
our selves
have
heard
of
his
own
mouth
.
Now
with
all
possible
hast
and
speed
,
they
delivered
him
up
to
the
Romane
power
,
as
a
condemned
prisoner
to
be
put
to
death
by
them
,
after
their
manner
,
by
crucifying
,
or
hanging
on
a
tree
.
Luke
23.1
.
And
the
whole
multitude
of
them
arose
and
led
him
unto
Pilate
:
all
the
Court
and
all
the
Creatures
about
them
combined
in
this
matter
,
to
deliver
him
up
to
the
Gentiles
,
as
Jesus
Christ
had
foretold
that
they
will
Math.

.
and
Mar.
10.33
.
The
company
that
acted
these
things
,
both
Rulers
and
people
,
are
Apostates
,
whose
day
of
Grace
was
past
,
as
appeareth
Math.
23.37
,

Luk.
13.34.35
.
O
that
thou
hadst
hearkned
,
at
least
in
this
thy
day
,
but
now
it
is
hid
from
thine
eyes
.
Such
Persons
are
the
Devills
fittest
instruments
to
persecute
Jesus
Christ
and
his
saints
.
These
Sufferings
of
Jesus
Christ
before
the
Council
of
the
Jews
were
aggravated
by
this
,
because
they
were
his
own
people
to
whom
he
came
and
offered
them
mercy
,
and
life
eternal
,
and
called
them
to
Repentance
.
But
behold
how
wickedly
they
dealt
with
him
:
they
condemned
him
,
but
could
find
no
other
cause
but
his
confessing
that
he
is
the
Messiah
:
and
not
only
condemned
him
,
but
committed
him
into
the
merciless
hands
of
their
Servants
and
creatures
that
did
so
vilely
abuse
him
all
the
night
,
and
craftily
dealt
with
him
in
the
morning
,
and
out
of
envy
delivered
him
to
the
Romane
power
to
be
put
to
death
.
And
all
this
did
the
holy
innocent
Son
of
God
suffer
for
the
sake
of
Gods
elect
,
that
they
might
become
vessels
of
mercy
;
&
to
shew
us
how
vile
sin
is
in
Gods
sight
,
who
spared
not
his
own
Son
when
he
stood
under
a
just
imputation
of
our
sin
unto
him
.
And
all
these
sufferings
of
Jesus
Christ
we
celebrate
in
that
high
Soul
exercise
in
our
Sacramental
Commemoration
hereof
.
The
History
of
Judas
.
I
shall
shut
up
this
Chapter
with
a
touch
upon
the
History
of
Judas
,
which
in
this
place
and
time
cometh
into
consideration
,
the
history
thereof
is
recorded
,

in
which
Texts
(
if
any
please
to
read
them
)
we
may
observe
two
principal
points
.
1.
A
terrible
Testimony
sharpned
against
the
high
Priests
,
and
the
rest
of
them
in
their
bloody
persecution
of
our
Lord
Jesus
,
by
Judas
his
repentance
.
2.
A
strong
and
clear
Testimony
that
Jesus
Christ
is
the
Messiah
,
by
the
Jews
fulfilling
the
Prophesies
touching
him
.
1.
In
the
first
see
,
first
,
the
occasion
or
cause
moving
Judas
to
repentance
,
ver.
3.
when
he
saw
that
he
was
condemned
,
repented
himself
,
this
he
saw
in
that
night
about
the
Cocks
crowing
,
then
began
his
terror
,
but
did
he
not
know
before
,
that
they
would
so
do
,
as
sure
if
he
did
not
,
he
might
have
foreknown
it
,
for
Jesus
Christ
had
foretold
it
,
and
he
knew
that
the
end
of
their
hiring
him
to
betray
him
,
was
,
that
they
might
have
him
in
their
hands
,
to
put
him
to
death
,
but
his
eyes
were
blinded
,
partly
by
his
envy
at
the
expence
of
the
sweet
oyntment
upon
the
body
of
Jesus
Christ
,
and
partly
by
covetousness
,
who
missed
of
such
a
booty
to
pilfer
,
and
principally
by
the
Devils
twice
entering
into
him
by
advantages
.
1.
The
first
time
of
the
Devils
entering
into
his
heart
,
was
by
his
envy
and
indignation
at
the
expence
of
that
oyntment
,
Mark
14.5
,
10.
when
his
heart
raged
with
indignation
,
Satan
put
it
into
his
heart
to
betray
his
Master
,
so
Joh.
13.2
.
2.
The
second
time
the
Devil
entered
into
him
,
was
upon
the
discovering
sop
that
Jesus
Christ
gave
him
,
Joh.
13.27
.
now
the
Devil
blinded
him
,
for
the
Prince
of
darkness
hath
power
to
blind
mens
eyes
,
2
Cor.
4.4
.
Two
of
the
Disciples
did
scandalously
fall
.
Judas
betrayed
Jesus
Christ
,
Peter
denyed
him
,
Peter
the
same
night
repented
sincerely
,
Judas
repented
,
but
not
sincerely
.
2.
The
manner
of
his
repentance
,
the
Spirit
of
terror
entered
into
him
,
broke
open
his
blinded
eyes
of
understanding
and
conscience
,
to
see
his
sin
of
blood
guiltiness
,
Yea
innocent
blood
,
yea
,
the
blood
of
his
Lord
and
Master
,
yea
,
whom
he
had
for
a
bribe
of
money
most
trayterously
betrayed
;
this
Spirit
of
terror
was
the
Spirit
of
God
,
of
the
Law
,
that
bore
down
the
Spirit
of
Satan
that
blinded
him
:
this
brought
him
to
horror
and
distress
.
The
thirty
pieces
of
mony
that
before
had
seared
his
conscience
to
hardness
,
now
torment
and
burn
his
conscience
,
and
in
this
case
was
his
tormented
Soul
till
morning
.
3.
The
progress
of
his
repentance
,
he
knowing
the
Council
had
appointed
to
meet
early
in
the
morning
,
resolved
to
go
unto
them
,
and
restore
unto
them
their
mony
,
and
confess
his
great
sin
in
betraying
the
innocent
blood
of
his
Master
.
Accordingly
,
so
soon
as
they
had
confirmed
their
condemnation
of
him
,
and
commanded
him
to
be
delivered
to
Pilate
,
ver.
2.
Then
Judas
appears
before
them
in
the
terror
of
his
Soul
,
ver.
3.
he
justifieth
Iesus
Christ
to
be
innocent
,
and
himself
an
horrible
sinner
in
betraying
him
,
which
confession
of
his
,
accused
them
also
to
be
horrible
sinners
in
condemning
him
.
He
offered
them
the
mony
with
which
they
had
hired
him
,
it
scalded
his
Conscience
,
he
could
not
keep
it
.
4.
See
their
answer
,
the
wickedest
answer
that
ever
Ministers
gave
to
a
distressed
soul
,
but
befitting
the
mouths
of
wolves
in
the
pursuit
of
innocent
blood
,
and
fit
enough
for
so
vile
a
Traitor
,
the
worst
that
ever
was
in
the
world
.
Their
answer
was
short
and
snappish
.
1.
What
is
that
to
us
?
say
you
so
Caiaphas
,
Annas
and
the
rest
?
did
not
you
hire
him
with
that
mony
?
2.
They
say
,
look
thou
to
that
:
is
this
your
care
of
a
soul
in
distress
?
is
this
your
care
of
your
flock
?
3.
They
refused
to
take
the
money
,
or
meddle
with
it
;
nor
did
they
give
him
one
word
of
comfort
or
counsel
,
the
Priests
lips
should
preserve
knowledge
,
and
is
this
all
the
relief
he
had
at
their
mouth
?
5.
Now
Judas
is
not
only
distressed
but
forsaken
,
there
was
but
one
dore
of
hope
for
relief
left
,
and
that
was
to
go
to
the
Temple
,
and
to
the
Priests
that
were
there
attending
the
service
in
the
Temple
,
thither
he
came
with
a
gastly
countenance
;
there
also
he
confessed
his
sin
,
offered
them
the
Soul
tormenting
money
,
but
they
abhorred
to
touch
so
execrable
a
thing
,
nor
had
they
one
word
of
comfort
for
him
,
now
he
fell
into
utter
desperation
,
which
had
these
effects
.
1.
He
cast
down
the
mony
in
the
Temple
,
that
bloody
,
that
soul-tormenting
mony
,
that
execrable
thing
.
2.
He
went
away
to
a
place
fitting
,
that
Satan
could
easily
suggest
to
him
.
3.
There
he
hanged
himself
.
But
fourthly
the
rope
either
broke
or
slipt
,
and
he
fell
,
and
the
place
was
such
,
either
by
height
or
by
Rocks
beneath
,
that
by
his
fall
he
burst
asunder
,
and
his
bowels
gushed
out
.
And
all
this
was
famously
known
in
all
Ierusalem
.
Quest.
Why
did
not
Judas
go
to
Iesus
Christ
as
the
penitent
Thief
did
?
A.
1.
Because
he
was
the
child
of
perdition
,
as
Joh.
17.12
.
Again
Iesus
Christ
was
now
in
Pilats
Court
,
Judas
his
Testimony
was
terribly
sharpened
against
the
Iewish
Court
,
&
thither
he
went
,
&
hath
left
a
dreadful
warning
what
a
dangerous
thing
it
is
to
envy
at
others
charity
and
bounty
,
to
covet
and
desire
,
to
pilfer
another
mans
,
or
a
publick
bag
,
and
to
rob
God
.
Judas
his
confession
was
not
fitting
for
Pilats
Court.
Touching
the
second
part
of
the
History
,
it
was
acted
afterwards
,
after
the
Feast
,
wherein
their
own
actions
do
strongly
prove
that
Iesus
Christ
is
the
Messiah
,
by
their
fulfilling
of
the
Prophesy
.
Why
Mathew
doth
call
Zachariah
by
the
name
of
Jeremiah
is
not
yet
revealed
,
that
I
know
off
.
Their
actions
were
1.
they
hold
a
Council
to
consider
what
to
do
with
this
execrable
mony
,
they
agree
that
it
ought
not
to
be
put
into
the
Treasury
of
the
Temple
,
because
it
was
the
price
of
blood
,
they
agree
to
buy
the
Potters
field
with
it
,
to
be
a
place
to
bury
strangers
Pagans
,
that
cared
not
for
the
Iews
Religion
,
though
they
traffiqued
to
the
City
.
What
this
Potters
field
was
,
may
be
gathered
from
Act.
1.20
.
with
the
Prophesy
there
cited
,
viz.
it
was
a
dearned
little
bit
of
ground
where
the
Potters
had
wrought
out
all
the
veins
of
clay
,
and
left
it
a
desolate
plat
,
out
of
the
way
,
unfit
for
habitation
,
good
for
nothing
,
unless
it
were
for
such
a
despicable
use
as
they
now
bought
it
for
;
and
this
plot
did
the
execrable
wages
of
Judas
purchase
,
and
for
that
reason
was
called
the
field
of
blood
.
And
this
is
the
monument
that
Iudas
,
that
Traytor
hath
left
behind
him
,
a
fit
monument
of
such
a
vile
Traytor
.
And
this
is
all
the
portion
that
this
self
murtherer
left
to
his
Children
,
as
the
Prophesy
doth
intimate
.
And
by
the
purchase
of
this
field
,
at
that
price
,
the
Jews
have
proved
that
Iesus
is
Christ
,
the
Son
of
God
,
and
Saviour
of
the
World
.

The
Sufferings
of

Christ
before
the
Romane
Court
under
Pontius
Pilate
.

,

And
Jesus
stood
before
the
Governour
,
and
the
Governour
asked
him
saying
,
art
thou
the
King
of
the
Iews
?
And
Iesus
saith
unto
him
,
thou
sayest
.
And
when
he
was
accused
of
the
chief
Priests
and
Elders
,
he
answered
nothing
.
Then
said
Pilate
unto
him
,
Hearest
thou
how
many
things
they
witness
against
thee
?
And
he
answered
him
to
never
a
word
.

And
Pilate
asked
him
,
Art
thou
the
King
of
the
Iews
?
And
he
answering
said
unto
him
,
Thou
sayest
it
.
And
the
chief
Priests
accused
him
of
many
things
,
but
he
answered
nothing
.
And
Pilate
asked
him
again
and
said
,
answerest
thou
nothing
?
Behold
how
many
things
they
witness
against
thee
.
But
Iesus
yet
answered
nothing
,
so
that
Pilate
marvelled
.
Luk.

,

And
they
began
to
accuse
him
,
saying
,
we
found
this
fellow
perverting
the
nation
,
and
forbidding
to
give
tribute
to
Caesar
,
saying
,
that
he
himself
is
Christ
a
King
.
And
Pilate
asked
him
saying
,
Art
thou
the
King
of
the
Iews
?
And
be
answered
him
and
said
,
Thou
sayest
it
.
Joh.

,

,

Then
led
they
Iesus
from
Caiphas
,
unto
the
Hall
of
Iudgment
:
and
it
was
early
,
and
they
themselves
went
not
into
the
judgment-hall
,
lest
they
should
be
defiled
:
but
that
they
might
eat
the
Passeover
.
Pilate
then
went
out
unto
them
and
said
,
What
accusation
bring
you
against
this
man
?
They
answered
and
said
unto
him
,
if
he
were
not
a
Malefactor
,
we
would
not
have
delivered
him
up
unto
thee
.
From
what
is
recorded
in
these
Texts
laid
together
,
the
following
History
is
collected
.
1.
The
place
where
Pilate
began
this
Court
,
was
in
the
Pretorium
,
the
Roman
judgement
Hall
,
Joh.
18.2
.
there
Iesus
Christ
was
presented
before
Pilate
as
a
condemned
person
in
the
Court
(
such
as
it
was
)
a
Council
of
the
Iews
,
and
they
desired
Pilate
to
put
him
to
death
after
the
Roman
manner
,
by
crucifying
him
;
and
by
the
Roman
power
.
2.
Pilate
told
them
that
he
could
not
justly
condemn
him
to
dy
,
until
he
had
heard
his
accusers
face
to
face
,
and
his
offences
lawfully
proved
against
him
,
and
thereof
he
called
for
his
accusers
,
and
witnesses
of
his
evil
deeds
.
3.
Answer
was
made
that
the
Iews
might
not
by
their
Law
,
come
that
day
into
the
Pretorium
,
because
it
was
the
Feast
of
the
Passover
,
and
the
morrow
was
that
Sabbath
,
which
fell
to
be
in
their
Feast
week
,
and
therefore
it
was
an
high
day
,
Ioh.
19.31
.
The
Feast
was
to
be
celebrated
seven
dayes
,
Exod.
12
15
,
18.
in
which
week
one
day
must
of
necessity
be
a
Sabbath
,
and
to
morrow
is
that
Sabbath
.
And
therefore
they
intreated
Pilate
to
put
him
to
death
,
as
one
that
they
had
condemned
.
It
seems
that
they
thought
to
catch
Pilate
by
this
means
,
to
trust
them
,
and
be
their
Servant
to
condemn
and
execute
him
,
because
they
had
condemned
him
,
without
seeing
and
examining
the
cause
why
they
did
condemn
him
.
But
Pilate
would
not
do
so
,
a
just
judge
must
see
the
cause
,
before
he
condemn
the
person
to
die
,
a
just
judge
will
stand
upon
his
own
legs
,
&
see
by
his
own
eyes
.
4.
Pilate
though
a
Pagan
,
yet
in
prudence
so
far
complyed
with
respect
to
their
Religion
,
which
they
proposed
and
pretended
in
this
case
,
and
condescended
to
go
out
of
the
Pretorium
,
into
some
open
pbulick
place
,
where
the
Iews
might
appear
before
him
,
all
this
see
Ioh.
18.28
,
29.
They
went
not
into
the
Iudgement
Hall
,
least
they
should
be
defiled
,
but
that
they
might
eat
the
Passover
.
Pilate
then
went
out
unto
them
,
and
said
,
what
accusation
bring
you
against
this
man
?
Thus
Pilate
disappointed
them
of
that
device
,
whereby
they
thought
to
have
brought
him
to
have
believed
and
obeyed
them
.
Ioh.
18.30
.
They
said
that
if
he
were
not
a
Malefactor
we
would
not
have
delivered
him
to
thee
.
But
Pilate
would
hear
and
see
the
cause
himself
,
before
he
would
condemn
him
.
5.
Now
the
chief
Priests
and
Elders
,
who
were
his
Judges
before
,
and
had
condemned
him
in
their
Council
,
were
his
accusers
,
and
they
accused
him
of
many
things
,
both
to
vindicate
themselves
,
and
their
own
act
in
condemning
him
and
to
vent
their
envy
against
Jesus
Christ
.
That
they
did
thus
accuse
him
of
many
things
before
Pilate
,
we
have
it
from
Pilates
own
mouth
,
Math.
27.13
.
And
Mar.
15.4
.
Hearest
thou
not
how
many
things
they
witness
against
thee
?
Luk●●●th
in●●ance
in
three
particular
accusations
,
Luk.
23.2
.
They
began
to
accuse
him
saying
,
We
found
this
man
perverting
the
Nation
,
and
forbidding
to
give
tribute
to
Caesar
,
saying
,
that
he
himself
is
King
.
Touching
the
first
of
these
,
his
Perverting
the
Nation
,
Pilate
did
strictly
examine
it
,
as
appears
,
Luk.
23.14
.
Pilate
saith
unto
them
,
Ye
have
brought
this
man
unto
me
,
as
one
that
perverteth
the
people
,
and
behold
I
have
examined
him
before
you
,
and
have
found
no
fault
in
this
man
touching
those
things
whereof
ye
accuse
him
.
2.
Touching
his
forbidding
to
pay
tribute
to
Caesar
,
nothing
is
said
of
it
in
his
examination
.
It
is
not
unlike
,
but
that
the
answer
of
Jesus
to
that
poynt
,
heretofore
,
was
so
famous
that
Pilate
had
heard
of
it
,
viz.
that
asking
for
a
Tribute
penny
,
he
asked
whose
Image
and
superscription
is
on
it
,
they
said
Cesars
,
then
he
said
,
give
unto
Cesar
that
which
belongeth
unto
Cesar
,
and
to
God
that
which
is
Gods
.
Touching
the
third
point
,
his
being
King
of
the
Jews
,
Pilate
asked
him
,
art
thou
the
King
of
the
Iews
?
to
whom
Jesus
answered
,
thou
sayest
it
,
he
denyed
it
not
,
nor
at
this
time
so
fully
asserted
it
,
as
he
did
afterwards
,
as
shall
be
seen
in
its
time
and
place
.
6.
Pilate
having
given
full
scope
and
liberty
to
his
accusers
to
produce
what
they
would
,
or
could
against
him
,
and
strictly
examined
all
their
allegations
;
he
now
called
upon
the
Prisoner
to
answer
for
himself
.
But
Jesus
kept
silence
,
and
answered
not
a
word
,
Math.
27.12
.
then
Pilate
urged
him
to
answer
,
saying
,
hearest
thou
not
how
many
things
they
accuse
thee
off
?
ver.
13.
but
still
Iesus
kept
silence
,
and
answered
not
a
word
.
7.
Now
Pilate
falls
to
admiring
,
and
that
exceedingly
,
Math.
27.14
.
for
Pilate
saw
plainly
,
first
that
they
had
no
proof
of
what
they
said
against
him
,
Secondly
,
that
many
things
they
said
were
frivolous
,
and
far
from
being
capital
offences
,
if
they
had
been
proved
.
Thirdly
,
that
they
persecuted
him
out
of
envy
,
Mark
.
15.10
.
he
knew
that
the
chief
Priests
had
delivered
him
for
envy
,
and
all
this
increased
his
admiration
at
his
silence
.
What
are
you
willing
to
dye
?
But
alas
,
neither
his
Pagan
judge
,
nor
envious
accusers
,
were
aware
of
what
God
the
Father
,
and
the
Son
Iesus
Christ
were
now
transacting
touching
the
great
counsel
of
God
,
for
the
Salvation
of
sinners
.
For
1.
Now
Iesus
Christ
stood
as
our
sponsor
and
surety
,
to
bear
the
imputation
of
our
sins
.
Iesus
Christ
now
taught
and
confirmed
the
great
point
of
the
imputation
of
our
sins
unto
him
,
who
was
personally
innocent
as
a
Lamb
,
but
as
our
surety
he
is
guilty
of
all
;
some
,
or
other
of
his
Elect
were
guilty
of
whatsoever
they
laid
to
his
charge
,
and
God
laid
upon
him
the
guilt
of
all
our
sins
,
Isai.
5
3
,
4
,
5
,
6.
he
was
in
this
respect
as
being
our
Surety
,
the
guiltyest
person
in
the
world
,
the
guilt
of
all
sin
lay
upon
him
,
and
therefore
he
silently
bore
it
.
2.
Iesus
Christ
was
willing
to
bear
all
this
imputation
of
sin
,
and
to
dy
for
it
,
Ioh.
10.17
.
I
lay
down
my
life
,
that
I
may
take
it
again
,
no
man
taketh
it
from
me
,
but
I
lay
it
down
of
my self
.
Pilate
saw
plainly
how
easily
he
might
have
answered
and
avoided
all
their
allegations
and
accusations
brought
against
him
,
and
that
put
him
into
such
admiration
at
his
silence
;
his
Innocency
appeared
to
his
Roman
Judge
,
without
any
answer
of
his
,
though
they
had
condemned
him
,
Pilate
saw
no
cause
for
it
,
but
envy
.
So
much
for
the
first
act
of
Pilate
,
the
second
act
followeth
.
There
is
some
difficulty
in
laying
together
the
harmony
of
the
Evangelists
in
this
point
,
touching
the
order
of
the
acts
that
passed
in
Pilates
Court.
This
second
act
of
Pilate
that
I
am
entering
upon
,
is
again
acted
by
Pilate
afterward
,
as
we
shall
see
in
its
time
and
place
,
Luk.
23.4
.
then
said
Pilate
to
the
chief
Priests
and
to
the
people
,
I
find
no
fault
in
this
man
,
these
words
of
Pilate
are
clearly
annexed
to
the
first
examination
,
as
appeareth
,
ver.
3.
when
Pilates
question
,
and
Jesus
his
answer
were
transacted
,
it
was
in
the
first
examination
as
we
saw
in
its
place
,
and
that
which
Pilate
addeth
,
ver.
4.
doth
presently
after
follow
;
and
therefore
I
place
them
next
:
And
render
them
a
part
of
the
second
act
of
Pilate
;
which
I
am
now
about
to
set
down
in
the
order
of
the
History
of
actions
,
as
they
passed
in
Court
,
again
,
Joh.
18.30.31
,
32.
they
answered
and
said
unto
him
,
if
he
were
not
a
malefactor
we
would
not
have
delivered
him
up
unto
thee
;
then
said
Pilate
take
ye
him
and
judge
him
according
to
your
Law
.
The
Iews
therefore
said
unto
him
,
it
is
not
lawful
for
us
to
put
any
man
to
death
,
that
the
saying
of
Iesus
might
be
fulfilled
which
he
spake
,
signifying
what
death
he
should
dye
.
Which
saying
of
Jesus
Christ
is
recorded
Math.
20.18
,
19.
behold
we
go
up
to
Ierusalem
,
and
the
Son
of
man
shall
be
betrayed
unto
the
chief
Priests
,
and
unto
the
Scribes
,
and
they
shall
condemn
him
to
death
,
and
shall
deliver
him
to
the
Gentiles
to
mock
,
and
to
scourge
,
and
to
crucifie
him
,
and
the
third
day
he
shall
rise
again
.
This
part
of
the
History
which
John
relateth
,
was
at
,
or
about
the
time
of
the
beginning
of
Pilates
Court
,
as
appeareth
by
the
immediate
foregoing
words
,
ver.
28
,
29.
Therefore
laying
Lukes
record
and
Johns
record
together
the
History
proceedeth
thus
.
When
Pilate
had
given
the
accusers
leave
to
produce
what
they
would
against
him
,
and
had
diligently
examined
all
that
they
had
said
,
and
called
Iesus
to
answer
for
himself
,
though
he
was
silent
and
answered
nothing
,
to
Pilates
admiration
,
seeing
he
might
so
easily
have
made
void
all
that
they
had
said
against
him
.
Now
Pilate
turneth
his
speech
to
the
Priests
and
Elders
his
accusers
,
and
argueth
with
them
,
you
have
delivered
up
this
man
to
be
put
to
death
,
but
I
find
no
fault
in
him
,
for
which
I
should
judge
him
to
dye
,
many
things
you
say
but
prove
nothing
.
You
produce
no
Roman
capital
Law
that
he
hath
broken
,
how
then
should
I
iudge
him
to
death
?
To
this
they
answered
,
we
have
a
Law
(
viz.
against
Blasphemy
)
and
by
that
Law
we
have
condemned
him
,
and
were
he
not
a
malefactor
we
would
not
have
so
done
,
nor
have
delivered
him
to
you
to
put
him
to
death
.
Now
Pilate
maketh
them
a
noble
offer
,
it
is
a
point
of
eminent
consideration
,
Pilate
saith
,
take
ye
him
,
and
judge
him
according
to
your
Law
,
exercise
your
own
power
and
Jurisdiction
,
according
to
your
own
Laws
.
The
Jews
expresly
refuse
to
accept
this
offer
,
and
say
,
it
is
not
lawful
for
us
to
put
any
man
to
death
.
Say
you
so
Caiaphas
?
by
whose
Law
is
it
not
lawful
for
you
to
put
any
man
to
death
?
Surely
not
by
Gods
Law
,
it
is
only
by
the
Roman
Law
that
it
is
not
lawful
for
you
.
So
that
by
this
saying
of
the
Jewish
Council
they
do
testifie
in
open
Cou●t
,
that
the
SCEPTER
is
now
departed
from
Iudah
,
which
is
a
very
great
evidence
t●at
Iesus
Christ
is
the
Messiah
,
and
that
the
Scepter
is
departed
from
them
,
by
their
own
confession
,
and
that
before
publick
Authority
.
Yea
,
and
w●e●
Pilate
offered
them
the
exercise
of
their
own
Scepter
in
a
particular
case
,
they
expressly
refused
to
accept
it
,
for
that
very
reason
,
because
the
Scepter
was
departed
from
them
.
And
though
they
thus
acted
out
of
envy
against
Iesus
Christ
,
yet
it
is
a
remarkable
hand
of
God
,
that
they
themselves
should
so
eminently
acknowledge
,
that
the
Scepter
was
departed
from
them
.
Iohn
taketh
notice
of
the
prediction
that
Iesus
Christ
had
given
to
his
Disciples
,
foretelling
how
the
Iews
would
condemn
him
,
and
deliver
him
to
the
Gentiles
,
to
be
put
to
death
after
the
manner
of
the
Gentiles
,
all
which
things
were
accomplished
,
just
as
he
had
foretold
,
which
is
a
great
proof
of
his
Divinity
.
The
reason
of
the
Iews
thus
acting
was
because
they
durst
not
offer
violence
against
Iesus
Christ
by
their
own
power
and
Laws
:
for
they
know
that
their
proceedings
were
unjust
,
and
that
the
people
would
not
have
suffered
them
to
do
violence
against
Iesus
Christ
,
and
yet
they
were
so
mad
to
execute
their
envious
resolution
to
put
him
to
death
,
that
they
rather
chose
to
put
away
the
Scepter
from
Iudah
,
then
not
to
execute
their
wrath
against
Iesus
Christ
,
they
willingly
put
away
the
Scepter
from
themselves
,
the
Scepter
was
departed
from
Iudah
when
Iesus
Christ
was
put
to
death
.
O
the
depths
of
divine
Wisdome
!
So
much
for
the
second
act
of
Pilate
,
the
third
followeth
.
Ioh.
18.33
.
ad.
38.
Then
Pilate
entered
into
the
Judgement
hall
again
,
and
called
Jesus
,
and
said
unto
him
,
Art
thou
the
King
of
the
Iews
?
Iesus
answered
him
,
Sayest
thou
this
thing
of
thy
s●lf
,
or
did
others
tell
it
thee
of
me
?
Pilate
answered
,
Am
I
a
Jew
?
thine
own
nation
,
and
the
chief
Priests
have
delivered
thee
unto
me
:
What
hast
thou
done
?
Iesus
answered
,
My
Kingdome
is
not
of
this
world
:
if
my
Kingdome
were
of
this
world
,
then
would
my
Servants
fight
,
that
I
should
not
be
delivered
to
the
Iews
:
but
now
is
my
Kingdome
not
from
hence
.
Pilate
therefore
said
unto
him
,
Art
thou
a
King
then
?
Iesus
answered
,
Thou
sayest
that
I
am
a
King
.
To
this
end
was
I
born
,
and
for
this
cause
came
I
into
the
world
,
that
I
should
bear
witness
unto
the
Truth
:
every
one
that
is
of
the
Truth
heareth
my
voyce
,
Pilate
saith
unto
him
,
What
is
Truth
?
Pilate
went
again
into
the
pretorium
or
Romane
judgement
hall
,
out
of
which
he
had
come
to
comply
with
the
Jews
who
would
not
enter
into
it
that
day
.
Now
he
goeth
thither
again
,
and
calleth
Jesus
Christ
before
him
there
,
apart
from
the
Jews
his
accusers
,
who
would
not
come
thither
,
and
there
are
sundry
particulars
of
great
moment
.
1.
Pilate
asked
Jesus
this
question
,
art
thou
the
King
of
the
Iews
?
he
had
asked
him
the
same
question
in
his
first
examination
,
and
Jesus
made
him
that
answer
,
thou
sayest
it
,
it
is
like
that
Pilate
thought
he
would
be
more
free
to
answer
him
,
apart
from
his
accusers
,
and
Pilate
was
diligently
inquisitive
into
this
point
.
The
Romans
had
a
great
respect
unto
royal
blood
,
and
all
men
knew
that
the
Jews
were
in
great
expectation
of
a
great
King
.
He
therefore
examineth
him
the
second
time
about
this
point
.
2.
Iesus
Christ
answered
him
by
proposing
a
question
to
Pilates
heart
,
which
none
but
himself
could
answer
unto
,
and
his
answer
to
it
would
discover
the
Spirit
of
the
man
.
The
question
was
this
,
sayest
thou
this
thing
of
thy self
,
or
did
others
tell
it
thee
of
me
?
the
divine
depth
and
wisdome
of
this
question
,
is
too
deep
for
me
to
dive
into
.
But
it
seemeth
to
be
proposed
to
instruct
Pilate
,
that
if
he
cordially
desired
to
know
that
great
Truth
,
it
would
be
for
his
eternal
good
and
benefit
.
but
if
it
were
only
out
of
curiosity
,
and
for
humane
discourse
,
and
civil
ends
only
,
then
it
would
profit
him
but
little
.
3.
Pilates
heart
felt
him
,
and
seemeth
to
be
a
little
short
and
snufty
at
it
,
and
maketh
two
replyes
,
by
retorting
two
questions
.
1.
Am
I
a
Iew
?
intimating
that
his
heart
was
no
whit
concerned
in
that
great
question
about
the
Kingly
Office
of
Iesus
Christ
;
it
is
a
matter
that
concerned
the
Iews
,
not
him
.
2.
He
returns
a
quick
and
sharp
question
,
with
the
reason
of
his
question
,
yet
with
so
much
composure
of
mind
and
judgement
,
that
he
first
expresseth
the
reason
,
and
then
his
quick
question
,
thy
own
Nation
,
and
the
chief
Priests
have
delivered
thee
to
me
as
a
condemned
Malefactor
,
What
hast
thou
done
?
4.
Iesus
Christ
knowing
that
Pilate
already
knew
the
worst
they
could
say
against
him
,
and
that
there
was
no
weight
in
their
allegations
,
only
they
were
carryed
with
envy
and
wrath
,
therefore
he
declineth
to
make
any
answer
to
his
quick
question
,
and
proceeds
to
answer
to
his
first
sober
question
touching
the
Kingdome
of
Jesus
Christ
,
wherein
see
these
three
particulars
.
1.
Iesus
Christ
delivereth
a
doctrine
,
my
Kingdome
is
not
of
,
(
or
from
)
this
world
,
as
authors
or
constitutors
thereof
,
(
of
)
signifyeth
from
in
this
place
,
it
doth
not
signifie
concerning
,
for
the
Kingdome
of
Christ
is
(
of
or
)
concerning
all
the
world
,
and
affairs
thereof
,
as
the
object
,
or
subject
about
which
it
is
exercised
,
but
the
world
doth
not
make
or
constitute
it
,
it
is
not
the
efficient
of
the
Kingdome
of
Iesus
Christ
.
2.
Here
is
a
reason
of
this
assertion
,
because
if
his
Kingdome
were
of
,
or
from
this
world
,
then
the
world
would
fight
for
their
King
,
to
keep
him
out
of
the
hands
of
his
Enemies
the
Iews
,
and
by
world
here
he
may
particularly
mean
the
Romans
,
who
have
no
hand
in
constituting
his
Kingdome
.
3.
Here
is
an
exegesis
or
explication
of
this
doctrine
in
these
words
,
my
Kingdome
is
not
from
hence
,
viz.
not
from
the
world
,
not
from
the
Romans
.
5.
Pilate
is
soon
calm
,
and
though
Iesus
answered
not
to
his
last
quick
question
(
whereof
there
was
no
need
)
yet
seeing
he
answered
to
his
first
question
,
which
was
the
point
which
Pilate
desired
to
enquire
into
,
he
accepteth
him
,
and
replyeth
upon
him
,
and
asketh
,
art
thou
a
King
then
?
which
the
words
of
Iesus
did
imply
.
And
gave
Pilate
a
just
occasion
to
propose
that
question
.
6.
Iesus
Christ
replyeth
to
Pilate
,
and
maketh
a
clear
confession
of
,
and
beareth
a
full
Testimony
unto
his
Kingly
Office
,
and
of
his
Prophetical
Office
also
,
which
is
that
confession
which
the
Apostle
maketh
mention
of
,
1
Tim.
6.13
.
Iesus
,
who
before
Pontius
Pilate
witnessed
a
good
confession
,
wherein
are
these
particulars
.
-
1.
I
will
not
in
modesty
express
that
word
concerning
my self
,
but
rest
in
that
which
you
have
expressed
,
you
have
implicitely
said
that
I
am
a
King
.
-
2.
I
add
unto
this
Truth
my
Testimony
in
three
things
.
1.
To
this
end
I
was
born
,
that
I
might
execute
my
Kingly
Office
in
my
Kingdome
.
2.
that
I
came
into
the
world
to
bear
witness
unto
the
Truth
,
which
is
my
Prophetical
Office
,
and
by
my
Prophetical
Office
I
bear
witness
to
my
Kingly
Office
.
3.
I
assert
,
that
everyone
that
is
of
the
Truth
(
viz.
new
born
by
the
power
of
Gospel
Light
)
beareth
my
voice
,
viz.
receiveth
it
with
love
and
subjection
to
it
.
7.
The
Pagan
was
so
overset
and
confounded
with
these
glorious
Truths
,
which
were
so
much
above
him
,
and
no
doubt
(
as
the
effect
proveth
)
convinsingly
set
on
,
that
he
only
propoundeth
this
question
,
What
is
Truth
?
assuredly
the
question
is
a
wise
and
pertinent
question
,
but
he
tarryed
not
for
an
answer
,
he
went
out
of
the
pretorium
to
the
Iews
.
So
much
for
Pilates
third
act
,
his
fourth
act
followeth
.
Joh.
18.38
.
Pilate
saith
,
What
is
Truth
?
And
when
he
had
said
that
he
went
out
again
unto
the
Iews
,
and
saith
unto
them
,
I
find
in
him
no
fault
at
all
.
This
is
manifestly
a
second
time
of
Pilates
open
testifying
the
Innocency
of
Iesus
Christ
,
as
the
circumstances
do
make
it
appear
.
For
his
first
Testimony
was
the
product
of
his
first
examination
,
Luk.
23.3
,
4.
This
Testimony
is
the
product
of
that
private
discourse
,
that
Pilate
had
with
Iesus
in
the
pretorium
,
apart
from
the
Iews
his
accusers
.
When
Pilate
came
forth
of
the
pretorium
,
from
his
more
private
discourse
with
Iesus
,
and
bore
witness
to
his
innocency
so
fully
,
the
immediate
effect
of
that
Testimony
,
upon
the
Iews
is
related
only
by
Luke
,
therefore
in
laying
together
the
harmony
of
the
Evangelists
.
I
turn
to
that
Luk.
23.5
,
6
,
7
,
8
,
9
,
10
,
11
,
12
,
And
they
were
the
more
fierce
,
saying
,
He
stirreth
up
the
people
,
teaching
throughout
all
Iury
,
beginning
from
Galilee
to
this
place
.
When
Pilate
heard
of
Galilee
,
he
asked
whether
the
man
were
a
Galilean
.
And
assoon
as
he
knew
that
he
belonged
unto
Herods
Iurisdiction
,
he
sent
him
to
Herod
,
who
himself
was
also
at
Ierusalem
at
that
time
.
And
when
Herod
saw
Iesus
,
he
was
exceeding
glad
,
for
he
was
desirous
to
see
him
of
a
long
season
,
because
he
had
heard
many
things
of
him
,
and
he
hoped
to
have
seen
some
miracle
done
by
him
.
Then
he
questioned
with
him
in
many
words
,
but
he
answered
him
nothing
.
And
the
chief
Priests
and
Scribes
stood
and
vehemently
accused
him
.
And
Herod
with
his
men
of
war
set
him
at
nought
,
and
mocked
him
,
and
arayed
him
in
a
gorgeous
robe
,
and
sent
him
again
to
Pilate
.
And
the
same
day
Pilate
and
Herod
were
made
friends
together
;
for
before
they
were
at
enmity
between
themselves
.
In
this
part
of
the
History
see
,
1.
When
the
chief
priests
and
Jews
heard
Pilate
testifie
to
the
innocency
of
Jesus
a
second
time
,
and
that
so
plump
&
fully
,
they
were
greatly
enraged
.
Our
English
Translation
renders
the
word
very
well
,
They
were
the
more
fierce
.
The
shining
innocency
of
any
,
should
the
more
qualifie
and
pacifie
our
minds
,
and
moderate
our
spirits
.
This
is
the
frame
of
a
good
Spirit
,
that
is
acted
by
Gods
Spirit
.
But
we
see
that
the
notifying
of
the
innocency
of
Jesus
Christ
,
did
inrage
them
.
Therefore
we
may
see
that
they
we●e
acted
by
a
Devillish
spirit
.
They
were
resolved
to
execute
their
envy
against
Jesus
Christ
by
putting
him
to
death
;
and
therefore
they
were
vexed
that
the
Judge
found
him
innocent
,
and
it
made
them
the
more
violent
in
aggrava●ng
his
offences
,
which
they
imputed
to
him
.
2.
They
inflame
the
matter
which
they
accuse
him
of
,
by
putting
a
bad
construction
upon
his
good
actions
,
they
say
,
he
stirreth
up
the
people
by
his
teaching
;
he
shaketh
their
hearts
like
as
an
Earthquake
shaketh
the
Earth
,
so
the
word
signifieth
.
The
word
of
the
Gospel
doth
indeed
shake
the
hearts
of
men
,
but
it
is
to
repentance
,
and
to
embrace
the
offer
of
grace
and
mercy
in
Iesus
Christ
,
and
this
is
the
real
and
true
shaking
,
and
heart
stirring
,
that
the
Ministry
of
Iesus
had
raised
,
but
they
put
a
bad
and
false
construction
upon
it
,
and
say
,
or
intimate
at
least
,
that
Iesus
and
his
followers
did
stir
up
the
people
to
Sedition
,
&c.
they
pervert
the
powerful
effects
of
the
word
that
move
men
to
repentance
,
and
say
,
it
moveth
them
to
Faction
and
Rebellion
.
3.
They
aggravate
and
urge
their
accusation
,
from
the
extent
of
the
effect
of
his
Ministry
,
and
preaching
saying
,
that
it
moveth
and
worketh
through
all
Iury
beginning
at
Galilee
,
unto
this
place
,
even
to
Ierusalem
,
that
which
is
a
real
glory
and
commendation
,
they
turn
into
an
angry
and
envyous
accusation
.
4.
Their
instructing
in
the
extent
of
the
effect
of
his
preaching
from
Galile
to
Ierusalem
,
gave
occasion
to
Pilate
to
ask
if
he
were
a
Galilean
.
And
it
is
like
that
word
of
theirs
,
put
the
notion
into
Pilates
mind
,
that
he
now
acteth
.
When
he
understood
that
he
was
a
Galilean
,
he
knew
that
he
belonged
to
Herods
Jurisdiction
,
who
was
Tetrarch
of
Galile
,
Luk.
3.1
.
and
being
willing
to
shut
his
hands
of
such
an
ill
cause
,
wherein
he
saw
no
justice
,
but
wrath
and
envy
.
The
Roman
was
noble
and
just
,
he
abhorred
injustice
,
and
therefore
he
was
glad
he
had
found
a
way
to
shift
off
this
loathsome
matter
from
himself
,
knowing
that
he
should
gratifie
Herod
very
much
,
who
had
a
long
time
a
desire
to
see
Jesus
,
which
it
is
like
that
Pilate
knew
,
or
had
some
sentiment
of
it
,
that
it
would
much
gratifie
Herod
.
The
opportunity
also
was
very
fit
because
it
so
fell
out
that
Herod
was
at
that
time
in
town
.
v.
7.
an
happy
juncture
for
Pilate
to
attain
his
ends
:
therefore
Pilate
resolved
to
send
the
prisoner
to
Herod
.
This
innocent
,
falsly
accused
Lamb
is
sent
unto
Herod
.
Pilates
reason
for
this
act
may
be
gathered
out
of
the
consequent
History
.
First
he
should
gratifie
Herod
.
Secondly
,
he
hoped
to
quit
his
hands
of
the
case
.
Thirdly
,
if
not
,
yet
he
should
gain
light
and
aime
to
himself
,
being
a
Gentile
by
seeing
what
Herod
a
Jew
would
doe
in
this
case
.
5.
The
Jews
passionate
aggravation
of
the
extent
of
the
effects
of
the
preaching
of
Jesus
Christ
,
from
Galilee
even
to
Jerusalem
,
gave
the
occasion
of
this
divertion
.
But
it
was
very
cross
unto
them
and
to
their
design
,
for
they
were
resolved
to
put
him
to
death
;
yea
and
it
must
be
done
that
very
day
;
yea
and
by
the
Romane
power
,
and
after
the
Romane
manner
.
But
if
Herod
should
accept
to
judge
him
,
that
would
quite
alter
the
matter
:
or
if
he
doe
not
,
but
remit
him
to
Pilate
,
it
will
occasion
much
loss
of
time
:
it
was
therefore
a
very
vexatious
matter
to
them
,
but
thank
their
own
passion
that
gave
Pilate
the
occasion
.
But
being
so
,
they
must
bestir
themselves
,
The
chief
Priests
and
Elders
must
goe
and
appear
before
Herod
,
to
represent
the
matter
as
foul
as
they
can
.
6.
When
Jesus
came
before
Herod
,
then
the
History
thus
proceedeth
.
1.
See
Herods
carnal
joy
at
his
coming
,
and
at
the
sight
of
him
.
We
must
consider
Herod
to
be
a
visible
Professor
of
Religion
,
though
a
carnall
hypocrite
:
Pilate
was
a
Pagan
,
Herod
was
a
Jew
;
therefore
he
acts
the
part
of
one
that
hath
Religion
:
therefore
he
had
exceeding
great
joy
to
see
Jesus
:
this
his
joy
is
amplified
by
two
reason
,
1.
Because
he
had
of
a
long
time
a
desire
to
see
Jesus
,
having
heard
such
famous
things
of
him
.
2.
Because
he
hoped
he
would
have
been
so
officious
to
him
,
being
a
King
,
as
to
gratifie
him
by
doing
some
Miracle
before
him
.
2.
Herod
questioned
him
in
many
things
,
though
they
were
not
of
such
weight
,
as
to
be
mentioned
by
the
Holy
Ghost
,
not
any
one
of
them
.
3.
His
questions
would
be
promoted
and
inlarged
by
the
high
Priests
and
Scribes
,
who
prosecuted
him
before
Herod
.
1.
They
stood
up
against
him
.
2.
They
vehemently
accused
him
:
and
this
would
occasion
Herod
to
ask
him
many
Questions
.
4.
See
the
holy
wise
Lamb-like
behaviour
of
Jesus
Christ
among
these
adversaries
of
whom
in
the
prophesy
he
complaineth
,
Psal.
22.12
,
13
,
16.
Many
Bulls
have
compassed
me
,
strong
Bulls
of
Bashan
have
beset
me
round
.
they
gaped
upon
me
with
their
mouthes
,
like
a
ravening
,
and
roaring
Lion
.
For
dogs
have
compassed
me
,
the
assembly
of
the
wicked
have
enclosed
me
.
But
in
all
these
doings
,
Jesus
held
his
peace
he
spake
not
one
word
:
and
some
Reasons
of
his
silence
before
Herod
may
be
given
.
-
1.
There
was
nothing
of
moment
found
against
him
which
needed
an
answer
,
as
Pilate
afterwards
argueth
,
Luk.
23.15
.
-
2.
Because
Jesus
would
make
it
manifest
before
Herod
and
that
great
Audience
,
that
he
laid
down
his
life
willingly
.
-
3.
He
totally
vailed
his
glory
.
Had
any
part
of
his
glory
appeared
,
they
would
not
have
condemned
him
.
1.
Cor.
2.8
.
Pilate
was
very
loth
to
it
,
because
of
his
innocency
,
which
he
did
see
.
had
he
seen
his
glory
,
he
would
not
have
done
it
.
5.
See
the
unworthy
and
vile
usage
they
put
upon
him
,
though
they
found
no
cause
against
him
.
Where
see
-
1.
The
partyes
that
abused
him
,
Herod
and
his
men
of
war
,
chief
Officers
and
others
that
came
together
unto
this
spectacle
,
when
they
hard
that
Pilate
had
sent
Iesus
to
Herod
.
-
2.
The
abuses
which
they
did
to
this
innocent
Lamb
of
God
,
Viz.
-
1
They
set
him
at
nought
.
-
2.
They
mocked
him
.
-
3.
They
arrayed
him
in
a
gorgeous
robe
to
promote
their
mockeryes
.
-
4.
They
sent
him
back
to
Pilate
,
when
they
had
disrobed
him
.
6.
See
a
notable
effect
of
this
act
of
Pilate
in
gratifying
Herod
by
sending
Jesus
unto
him
,
it
removed
the
enmity
that
was
betwixt
them
,
so
that
they
became
friends
afterwards
.
Luk.
23.12
.
And
the
same
day
Pilate
and
Herod
were
made
friends
;
together
for
before
they
were
at
enmity
between
themselves
.
The
world
can
agree
to
persecute
Jesus
Christ
and
his
Servants
.
And
as
Pilate
gratified
Herod
,
so
Herod
gratified
Pilate
,
by
setting
him
a
patcern
of
hardness
of
heart
,
to
abuse
Jesus
Christ
,
though
he
were
innocent
,
as
it
will
sadly
appear
in
the
Sequel
.
Many
observations
of
instruction
might
be
raised
,
but
I
will
pass
on
,
and
not
touch
them
for
brevity
sake
.
So
much
for
Pilates
4th
.
Act.
his
5th
.
Act
followeth
.
Luk.
23.13
,
14
,
15
,
16.
And
Pilate
when
he
had
called
together
the
chief
Priests
,
&
the
Rulers
,
and
the
people
,
said
unto
them
,
Ye
have
brought
this
man
unto
me
as
one
that
perverteth
the
people
,
and
behold
I
having
examined
him
before
you
,
have
found
no
fault
in
this
man
touching
those
things
whereof
ye
accuse
him
.
No
,
nor
yet
Herod
:
for
I
sent
you
to
him
,
and
lo
nothing
worthy
of
death
is
done
unto
him
.
I
will
therefore
chastise
him
and
release
him
.
1.
Herod
sent
Jesus
back
unto
Pilate
,
ver.
11.
so
mocked
,
derided
,
abused
as
as
above-said
,
but
withall
intimated
that
he
found
nothing
proved
against
him
,
as
Pilate
himself
anon
declareth
.
Therefore
Pilate
calleth
his
Court
again
,
and
calleth
the
chief
Priests
and
Rulers
,
his
accusers
,
who
were
ready
enough
;
and
the
people
;
an
open
Court
,
because
justice
must
proceed
openly
,
not
clandestinely
,
as
the
chief
Priests
,
Scribes
and
Pharisees
did
in
their
Court
when
they
condemned
Jesus
.
The
Romane
proceeded
openly
and
honourably
in
his
Court
,
and
in
the
management
of
this
matter
thus
far
.
2.
Pilate
maketh
recital
of
what
had
passed
.
Ye
have
brought
this
man
as
one
that
perverteth
the
people
:
You
see
that
I
have
throughly
sifted
and
examined
all
that
you
have
accused
him
of
,
and
all
this
have
I
done
in
your
presence
.
Now
I
doe
solemnly
declare
unto
you
,
that
I
find
no
fault
in
him
,
in
any
matter
which
you
have
accused
him
of
.
3
,
I
am
now
confirmed
in
my
judgment
of
the
case
,
because
I
sent
you
to
Herod
to
accuse
him
before
Herod
,
and
he
hath
found
no
fault
in
him
,
but
hath
sent
him
back
to
me
,
finding
nothing
in
him
worthy
of
death
.
Luk.
23.15
.
No
nor
yet
Herod
,
for
I
sent
you
to
him
,
and
lo
nothing
worthy
of
death
is
done
unto
him
.
4.
Therefore
I
doe
now
declare
unto
you
that
I
will
chastise
him
and
release
him
.
But
Pilate
,
with
your
favour
,
why
will
you
chastise
an
innocent
person
?
is
this
Justice
?
If
Pilate
say
,
I
doe
it
to
please
and
pacifie
the
rage
of
the
Jews
against
him
:
But
is
this
a
noble
Romane
spirit
to
pervert
justice
to
please
the
people
?
Fiat
Justitia
,
ruat
Coelum
,
is
a
Latine
Proverb
.
And
further
,
when
you
had
performed
your
first
word
in
chastising
him
,
why
did
you
not
perform
your
second
word
to
release
him
?
But
Jesus
Christ
and
his
poor
Servants
may
see
what
we
are
to
expect
from
the
hands
of
Man
.
Thus
far
Luke
carrieth
on
the
History
of
this
Act
which
Pilate
is
now
about
to
doe
.
John
carrieth
the
history
of
this
act
of
Pilate
further
.
Joh.
19.1
,
2
,
3
,
4
,

,
6.
Then
Pilate
therefore
took
Jesus
and
scourged
him
.
And
the
Souldiers
platted
a
Crown
of
thorns
and
put
it
on
his
head
,
and
they
put
on
him
a
purple
robe
,
and
said
,
Hail
King
of
the
Iews
:
and
they
smote
him
with
their
hands
.
Pilate
therefore
went
forth
again
,
and
saith
unto
them
,
Behold
I
bring
him
forth
to
you
,
that
ye
may
know
that
I
find
no
fault
in
him
.
Then
came
Iesus
forth
,
wearing
the
crown
of
thorns
,
and
the
purple
robe
:
and
Pilate
saith
unto
them
,
Behold
the
man
.
When
the
chief
Priests
therefore
and
the
Officers
saw
him
,
they
cried
saying
,
crucifie
him
,
crucifie
him
.
Pilate
saith
unto
them
,
take
ye
him
and
crucifie
him
:
for
I
find
no
fault
in
him
.
1.
Pilate
took
Iesus
,
namely
into
the
Pretorium
,
a
Romane
judgement
Hall
whither
the
Iews
would
not
goe
,
therefore
now
the
Lamb
is
among
the
wolves
,
the
pagan
Judge
and
Pagan
Souldiers
have
him
in
their
cruel
hands
,
and
they
did
grievously
abuse
him
.
1.
They
scourged
him
,
and
that
(
as
they
did
all
things
else
against
him
)
without
mercy
,
with
much
cruelty
,
Christ
complaineth
of
them
in
the
Prophesy
,
Psal.
129.3
.
the
ploughers
ploughed
upon
my
back
,
they
made
their
furrows
long
.
2.
They
platted
a
crown
of
thorns
and
put
it
on
his
head
.
A
cruel
mockage
,
as
Hebr.
11.36
.
3.
They
put
on
him
a
purple
Robe
,
to
make
him
a
mock-King
.
4.
They
said
Hail
King
of
the
Iews
,
deriding
hereby
both
his
person
and
his
people
.
5.
They
smote
him
or
gave
him
blows
with
their
hands
,
fists
,
palms
,
and
with
slaves
.
The
word
which
the
holy
Ghost
useth
,
signifieth
any
,
or
all
these
kinds
of
blows
,
and
we
may
justly
conceive
that
they
spared
him
not
in
any
thing
.
And
unto
all
this
they
are
emboldened
by
the
example
of
Herod
,
who
was
a
Je●
and
a
professor
of
that
Religion
,
and
seeing
he
so
mocked
and
abused
this
innocent
person
,
these
Pagan
Souldiers
would
not
fear
to
do
as
had
as
he
did
,
yea
,
out-do
him
,
if
they
did
so
bad
,
these
would
be
before
them
rather
then
behind
them
,
rather
exceed
then
abate
in
evil
,
such
is
the
bent
of
sinful
man
.
Pilate
commanded
only
his
scourging
,
(
so
far
as
appeareth
in
the
History
)
but
he
permitted
and
approved
all
the
rest
,
even
all
that
unjust
and
cruel
usage
of
an
innocent
person
.
Thus
Pilate
and
his
men
acted
in
the
pretorium
.
2.
Pilate
went
forth
again
unto
the
Jews
,
and
thus
speaketh
unto
them
.
First
,
Behold
I
bring
him
forth
to
you
,
viz.
uncondemned
,
that
ye
might
know
that
I
find
no
fault
in
him
;
but
with
your
favour
Pilate
,
is
this
a
sign
that
he
is
innocent
,
when
you
have
thus
abused
him
?
what
meaneth
that
blood
about
his
ears
and
face
,
on
his
back
and
sides
,
are
these
marks
of
an
Innocent
man
?
or
if
he
be
Innocent
,
as
you
affirm
,
and
that
most
truly
,
that
he
is
,
are
not
these
marks
of
an
unjust
Judge
?
2dly
.
Then
Jesus
came
forth
,
wearing
the
Crown
of
thorns
,
and
the
purple
Robe
all
bloody
,
battered
and
abused
,
baptized
with
his
own
blood
.
3dl
.
Pilate
saith
,
behold
the
man
.
that
is
,
you
see
I
have
punished
him
,
to
pacifie
you
,
let
that
suffice
,
and
so
I
will
release
him
,
though
thus
much
of
the
sense
of
the
words
is
not
expressed
,
yet
t
is
probable
,
he
laboured
to
work
upon
their
compassion
and
pitty
:
but
we
see
that
no
humane
policy
can
quench
the
rage
of
the
wicked
against
innocent
Jesus
Christ
,
and
his
innocent
servants
.
3.
When
the
chief
Priests
and
Officers
saw
him
,
they
cried
out
,
crucifie
him
,
crucifie
him
,
they
made
a
general
out-cry
,
that
little
quantity
of
his
blood
which
Pilate
had
shed
,
could
not
satisfie
them
,
nothing
but
his
heart
and
life
blood
will
content
them
.
4.
Then
Pilate
saith
again
,
take
ye
him
,
and
crucifie
him
,
for
I
find
no
fault
in
him
.
This
is
the
third
time
in
this
5.
act
that
Pilate
hath
testified
to
the
innocency
of
Jesus
Christ
,
and
his
urging
,
that
Herod
found
no
fault
in
him
;
these
three
times
added
to
the
former
two
times
,
do
make
it
evident
that
Pilate
did
make
the
innocency
of
Jesus
Christ
to
shine
illustriously
,
but
nothing
can
make
pale
blew
envy
to
blush
.
Again
,
this
is
a
second
time
that
Pilate
offered
to
the
Jews
the
exercise
of
their
own
Scepter
,
as
he
had
formerly
,
in
his
second
act
done
;
but
still
they
put
it
from
them
,
and
refuse
to
accept
it
.
For
if
the
Romane
power
refuse
to
put
Jesus
Christ
to
death
,
the
Jews
shall
not
be
able
to
do
it
,
and
yet
they
were
violently
resolved
to
have
it
done
,
it
was
a
wicked
Temptation
they
were
by
Satan
engaged
in
,
so
publickly
,
absolutely
,
and
effectually
,
to
put
away
the
Scepter
from
Judah
,
which
was
so
great
an
offence
to
God
,
that
they
never
had
a
Scepter
since
unto
this
day
;
but
there
is
a
day
of
grace
coming
,
when
the
Scepter
shall
be
restored
,
and
David
(
whom
now
they
renounced
)
shall
be
their
King
.
I
pass
by
all
instructions
.
So
much
for
the
fifth
act
of
Pilate
,
the
sixth
followeth
.
Joh.
19.7
,

,

,

,

pt.
The
Jews
answered
him
,
We
have
a
law
,
and
by
our
law
he
ought
to
dye
,
because
he
made
himself
the
Son
of
God
.
When
Pilate
therefore
heard
that
saying
,
he
was
the
more
afraid
.
And
went
again
into
the
judgement-Hall
,
and
saith
unto
Jesus
,
Whence
art
thou
?
but
Jesus
gave
him
no
answer
.
Then
saith
Pilate
unto
him
.
Speakest
thou
not
unto
me
?
knowest
thou
not
,
that
I
have
power
to
crucifie
thee
,
and
have
power
to
release
thee
?
Iesus
answered
,
Thou
couldest
have
no
power
at
all
against
me
,
except
it
were
given
thee
from
above
:
therefore
he
that
delivered
me
unto
thee
hath
the
greater
sin
.
And
from
thenceforth
Pilate
sought
to
release
him
:
here
see
1.
The
occasion
that
moved
Pilate
to
enquire
into
the
divinity
or
divine
na
-
of
Iesus
Christ
,
viz.
Pilates
frequent
urging
the
innocency
of
Iesus
,
and
oft
saying
,
when
they
said
crucifie
him
,
Pilate
oft
would
say
,
why
?
what
hath
be
done
?
what
law
hath
he
broken
?
what
shall
he
be
condemned
for
?
an
innocent
person
ought
to
be
released
,
&c.
2.
This
forced
the
Iews
again
,
as
formerly
they
had
done
,
to
urge
their
own
law
,
which
though
it
be
not
a
Romane
Law
,
yet
by
the
Authority
of
that
law
,
he
ought
to
dye
.
Now
whether
Pilate
asked
them
what
that
Law
was
,
or
whether
they
produced
it
unasked
,
it
is
not
very
material
,
seeing
the
Holy
Ghost
is
silent
in
it
,
but
they
produce
the
effect
of
the
law
,
ver.
7.
we
have
a
law
,
and
by
that
Law
be
ought
to
dye
,
because
he
made
himself
the
Son
of
God
.
This
plea
they
formerly
used
,
in
the
second
act
of
Pilate
,
and
now
again
more
fully
,
and
this
is
evidently
at
another
time
attended
with
other
circumstances
,
This
law
of
blaspemy
is
the
only
law
that
they
had
to
plead
against
him
,
for
saying
he
is
the
Son
of
God
,
which
is
one
of
the
greatest
and
most
glorious
Truths
in
the
world
.
For
this
,
they
condemned
Iesus
in
their
Council
,
and
this
they
plead
before
Pilate
,
he
ought
to
dy
for
saying
he
is
the
Son
of
God
,
Iesus
Christ
was
the
first
Martyr
that
dyed
for
this
Truth
.
3.
When
Pilate
heard
that
word
,
that
he
said
,
I
am
the
Son
of
God
,
this
word
startled
the
pagans
heart
,
and
he
was
more
afraid
He
clearly
saw
his
innocency
,
and
that
they
persecuted
him
out
of
envy
,
now
if
this
innocent
person
should
be
the
Son
of
God
,
how
should
I
dare
to
put
him
to
death
?
The
Iews
hearts
were
hard
,
their
Consciences
seared
,
as
hard
as
Rock
stones
.
But
Pilate
a
pagan
was
more
afraid
,
he
was
afraid
before
,
but
now
more
afraid
.
what
was
he
afraid
of
before
?
sure
he
feared
the
guilt
of
innocent
blood
.
To
condemn
an
innocent
man
to
dye
is
an
abomination
to
God
,
an
horrible
sin
,
and
this
he
was
afraid
of
before
;
but
now
he
is
more
afraid
,
if
this
innocent
person
be
the
Son
of
God
,
his
very
heart
twittered
and
shrunk
about
it
.
4.
Therefore
Pilate
taketh
Iesus
again
into
the
Pretorium
,
being
industrious
to
find
out
the
matter
,
and
that
which
passed
in
the
Pretorium
,
is
in
these
particulars
.
First
.
Pilate
asked
Jesus
,
Whence
art
thou
?
viz
,
not
of
what
Nation
or
Country
,
for
he
knew
him
to
be
a
Jew
of
Galilee
,
but
of
what
Original
art
thou
?
art
thou
the
Son
of
God
?
2dly
.
Iesus
Christ
is
silent
and
answered
not
,
he
was
not
silent
in
testifying
to
his
Kingly
and
Prophetical
Offices
,
before
Pontius
Pilate
,
1
Tim.
6.13
.
why
then
was
he
silent
to
testify
to
his
divine
nature
?
the
reason
is
,
1
Cor.
2.8
.
had
the
Princes
of
of
the
World
known
,
they
would
not
have
crucifyed
the
Lord
of
glory
,
now
Iesus
Christ
his
purpose
was
to
dye
.
Neither
yet
did
Iesus
Christ
lead
Pilate
into
sin
,
though
in
this
point
he
did
not
stop
and
prevent
him
;
enough
was
said
and
done
to
have
stopped
him
,
were
it
but
in
the
clearness
of
his
innocency
.
But
it
was
not
effectual
.
3.
Pilate
was
moved
,
offended
,
huffed
,
because
he
would
not
answer
him
,
nor
respect
him
,
but
neglect
him
,
therefore
he
speaks
big
to
him
,
what
?
do
you
not
know
who
I
am
?
I
have
power
to
crucifie
thee
,
or
to
release
thee
.
He
thought
to
scare
him
with
such
vapouring
words
.
But
alas
,
what
are
his
great
vaporing
words
to
Jesus
Christ
or
to
his
Saints
?
The
world
miss
their
mark
,
when
they
think
by
such
means
to
prevail
against
Jesus
Christ
.
4.
Vnto
this
high
vapouring
of
Pilate
,
Jesus
Christ
answereth
two
things
,
First
.
Thou
couldest
have
no
power
at
all
against
me
,
except
it
were
given
thee
from
above
.
viz.
Not
from
Caesar
so
much
,
as
he
might
understand
it
,
but
from
the
God
of
Israel
,
whom
thou
neither
knowest
,
nor
professest
to
serve
.
Secondly
.
For
this
cause
the
Jews
who
delivered
me
to
thee
have
the
greater
sin
,
because
they
know
God
and
profess
to
serve
him
,
and
they
know
the
promises
touching
me
,
and
yet
they
persecute
me
.
Thou
sinnest
,
but
they
are
the
greater
sinners
.
And
herein
Jesus
Christ
testified
of
his
divinity
before
Pilate
,
only
it
was
but
subobscurely
,
so
much
as
in
his
divine
wisdome
he
saw
fitting
.
Quest.
Why
did
not
Pilate
deliver
him
seeing
he
vapoured
so
much
of
his
power
so
to
doe
?
Answ.
We
shall
in
this
history
see
the
Reasons
thereof
.
So
much
for
what
passed
between
Jesus
and
Pilate
in
the
Pretorium
:
Now
see
what
followed
,
in
the
beginning
of
v.
12.
Pilate
did
not
only
suppress
his
disgust
and
displeasure
at
the
silence
of
Jesus
,
but
took
patiently
his
reproof
for
his
sin
in
persecuting
him
.
Yea
and
not
only
so
,
but
from
thenceforth
Pilate
sought
to
release
him
.
Quest.
How
did
Pilate
seek
to
release
him
?
Answ.
By
humane
policies
and
Tricks
,
he
had
no
better
nor
higher
principles
to
act
by
.
And
this
will
be
very
observable
,
that
all
his
humane
policy
and
devices
were
not
only
ineffectual
to
his
end
,
but
drew
forth
the
Jews
to
an
horrible
increase
of
their
sins
:
as
we
shall
see
in
the
particulars
.
Yea
and
he
entrapped
himself
also
.
Great
observations
of
Instruction
lye
before
us
all
the
way
.
But
I
pass
on
.
One
of
Pilates
politick
devices
was
,
to
catch
them
in
a
necessity
to
deliver
Jesus
by
their
own
consent
,
wherein
see
,
1.
Pilate
considered
that
he
must
(
either
by
publick
Articles
,
or
by
custom
)
deliver
unto
the
people
one
prisoner
,
whom
they
should
chuse
,
at
the
Feast
of
the
Passover
,
and
the
people
began
to
call
upon
him
for
the
performance
of
it
,
Mar.
15.8
.
The
multitude
began
to
cry
aloud
that
he
would
doe
as
ever
he
had
done
he
took
therefore
that
opportunity
to
offer
unto
them
,
to
remit
unto
them
Jesus
Mar.
15.9.10
.
Will
you
that
I
release
unto
you
the
King
of
the
Iews
;
for
he
knew
that
for
envy
the
high
Priests
had
delivered
him
.
And
Pilate
used
that
word
to
the
people
,
the
King
of
the
Jews
,
as
an
argument
perswasive
to
the
people
,
as
appears
by
his
after
arguing
upon
that
point
.
2.
Pilate
contrived
to
give
them
their
choyce
of
one
,
but
so
as
that
they
should
be
forced
to
chuse
Jesus
,
and
so
deliver
him
by
their
own
act
.
Pilate
would
have
done
them
good
,
but
they
would
not
.
The
way
that
he
contrived
was
,
to
streighten
them
in
their
liberty
of
chusing
among
all
the
prisoners
;
he
would
give
them
their
choice
but
of
two
,
and
they
were
Jesus
and
Barrabas
.
Now
this
Barrabas
was
a
Mutineer
,
a
Robber
,
a
Murderer
,
Mar.
15.7
.
Luk.
23.19
.
Ioh.
18.40
.
But
Jesus
was
an
innocent
person
,
had
done
many
good
works
among
them
:
only
the
Priests
had
a
spight
and
envy
against
him
:
and
all
this
Pilate
knew
to
be
so
.
Math.
27.18
.
Therefore
the
Jews
being
a
religious
people
,
and
willing
to
be
accounted
so
to
be
,
will
never
chuse
Barrabas
before
Jesus
.
He
thought
verely
to
catch
them
in
this
Noose
.
And
if
they
should
quarrel
him
for
streightning
their
Liberty
,
he
would
so
delay
the
matter
,
that
the
case
should
be
forced
to
stop
,
until
after
the
Feast
was
over
,
and
by
that
time
the●r
envy
might
be
cooled
.
Surely
this
was
a
notable
Dilemma
.
3.
But
the
Iews
brake
this
net
,
and
made
nothing
of
it
.
They
neither
regarded
their
own
Religion
,
nor
the
honour
of
God
concerned
in
it
.
Nor
did
they
regard
the
innocency
of
Jesus
,
nor
the
great
good
works
that
he
had
done
among
them
and
for
them
.
Nor
did
they
regard
the
vileness
of
Barrabas
,
nor
his
three
horrible
offences
that
he
was
guilty
of
.
These
Considerations
would
have
moved
a
Pagan
to
a
better
mind
;
and
Pilate
a
pagan
thought
so
.
But
they
chose
Barrabas
before
Jesus
,
a
choice
that
a
pagan
would
not
have
made
.
Yea
not
only
so
,
but
they
urged
that
Jesus
might
be
crucified
.
Though
Pilate
opposed
them
saying
,
Why
?
what
evil
hath
he
done
?

Quest.
How
came
it
to
pass
,
that
the
Jews
a
religious
people
,
should
make
such
a
wicked
choice
,
that
a
pagan
would
not
have
done
?
Answ.
See
the
reason
of
it
;

The
chief
Priests
and
Elders
perswaded
the
people
to
ask
Barrabas
,
and
destroy
Iesus
.

The
world
is
too
full
of
such
sad
examples
.
Thus
we
see
the
effect
of
the
policy
of
Pilate
,
it
did
more
hurt
then
good
;
it
drew
the
people
into
a
most
odious
sin
:
it
layes
the
Jews
under
ignominy
and
disgrace
unto
this
day
,
in
the
eyes
of
all
the
world
that
hear
of
it
.
A
2d
.
device
shall
I
call
it
,
or
rather
a
prudent
means
Pilate
used
to
qualifie
and
divert
their
minds
,
viz.
upon
the
point
of
their
Religion
,
&
though
it
was
not
his
Religion
)
as
thus
he
argueth
,
all
men
know
that
you
Jews
expect
a
Messiah
a
Christ
,
a
King
,
to
be
your
Saviour
and
deliverer
,
behold
he
is
come
,
this
is
he
,
and
will
you
crucifie
and
kill
him
?
and
would
you
have
me
to
crucifie
your
King
?
Vnto
this
arguing
of
Pilate
they
return
a
sad
answer
.
1.
They
renounce
Jesus
Christ
to
be
their
King
and
Saviour
.
2.
They
acknowledge
no
King
but
Cesar
,
Joh.
19.15
.
the
chief
Priest
answered
,
we
have
no
King
but
Cesar
,
thus
they
renounce
Iesus
Christ
,
yea
,
and
the
government
of
God
,
and
put
themselves
under
the
government
of
the
world
,
Act.
3.13
,
14
,
15
,
16.
The
God
of
Abraham
,
the
God
of
Isaac
,
and
of
Jacob
,
the
God
of
our
Fathers
hath
glorified
his
Son
Iesus
,
whom
ye
delivered
up
,
and
denyed
him
in
the
presence
of
Pilate
,
when
he
was
determined
to
let
him
goe
,
but
ye
denyed
the
holy
one
,
and
the
just
,
and
desired
a
Murtherer
to
be
granted
unto
you
,
and
killed
the
Prince
of
life
whom
God
hath
raised
from
the
dead
,
whereof
we
are
witnesses
.
Yea
,
further
they
retort
and
reflect
the
Argument
upon
Pilate
,
Ioh.
19.12
.
If
you
refuse
him
you
are
no
friend
to
Cesar
,
he
that
maketh
himself
to
be
a
King
,
is
against
Cesar
,
he
is
the
only
King
in
the
World
.
Thus
Pilate
got
a
sad
blow
,
which
wounded
his
very
heart
,
and
wrought
a
sad
effect
and
change
in
him
,
for
this
very
Argument
brought
Pilate
about
,
to
condemn
Jesus
.
They
argued
,
if
you
dismiss
him
upon
this
point
,
that
he
is
the
King
of
the
Jews
,
you
are
a
Jew
,
and
an
Enemy
to
Cesar
,
as
we
that
oppose
you
ar●
Romans
and
friends
to
Cesar
.
Thus
we
see
what
ill
success
Pilate
had
in
all
the
pains
he
took
to
deliver
Jesus
Christ
out
of
their
hands
.
So
much
for
the
sixth
act
of
Pilate
in
this
sad
Court
,
the
seventh
act
followeth
,
wherein
finally
he
yieldeth
to
the
chief
Priests
and
Jews
to
condemn
Jesus
.
Ioh.

part
of
it
,
when
Pilate
therefore
heard
that
saying
(
if
thou
let
him
go
thou
art
no
friend
to
Cesar
)
he
brought
Iesus
forth
,
and
sate
down
in
the
Iudgement
seat
,
in
a
place
that
is
called
the
pavement
,
but
in
the
Hebrew
Gabatha
.
And
it
was
the
preparation
of
the
Passover
,
and
about
the
sixth
hour
.
First
.
Here
we
must
first
consider
the
causes
that
moved
Pilate
to
yield
unto
the
high
Priest
and
Jews
.
1.
They
struck
him
on
the
right
vein
for
their
purpose
,
and
when
they
pleaded
him
to
be
no
friend
to
Cesar
,
if
he
released
Jesus
,
Ioh.
19.12
.
he
could
not
indure
the
impeachment
of
that
Argument
;
he
had
rather
offend
God
,
and
Conscience
,
or
any
thing
,
then
to
offend
Cesar
,
he
must
claw
and
curry
favour
with
the
Emperour
,
he
could
not
bear
with
the
breath
of
that
Sentence
,
he
is
no
friend
to
Cesar
,
and
therefore
when
he
heard
that
saying
it
turned
his
wheel
,
he
yielded
,
ver.
13.
2.
He
yielded
to
please
and
content
the
people
,
Mark
.
15.15
.
Pilate
willing
to
content
the
people
,
released
Barrabas
,
and
delivered
Iesus
to
them
,
&c.
3.
He
yielded
to
please
the
high
Priest
and
people
too
,
Luk.
23.23
.
and
the
voices
of
them
and
of
the
chief
Priests
prevailed
.
4.
He
yielded
to
prevent
a
tumult
,
which
his
delayes
and
their
haste
hurryed
them
unto
,
Math.
27.24
.
When
Pilate
saw
he
could
prevail
nothing
,
but
rather
a
tumult
was
made
,
&c.
these
are
the
causes
expressed
,
that
brought
about
pilate
,
especially
the
first
.
2.
Here
is
noted
the
place
where
he
passed
that
black
Sentence
,
not
in
the
Roman
judgement-Hall
,
but
in
the
Jews
judgement-Hall
,
a
Romane
Judge
,
in
the
Jews
judgement-Hall
,
to
shew
their
absolute
subjection
to
the
Romane
Yoke
,
and
that
voluntarily
.
The
SCEPTER
was
departed
from
Iudah
by
their
own
voluntary
choice
,
and
to
shew
the
concurrence
both
of
Jews
and
Gentiles
in
the
condemning
and
crucifying
of
Jesus
Christ
.
3.
The
time
of
this
act
was
about
the
beginning
of
the
sixth
hour
,
the
exact
time
of
the
preparation
of
the
Passover
Lamb
,
that
is
near
noon
?
Then
began
the
preparation
to
kill
the
pascal
lamb
.
And
little
did
Pilate
think
,
or
the
Iews
regard
,
that
this
person
was
the
pure
,
innocent
,
spotless
Lamb
of
God
,
which
they
were
preparing
to
kill
and
Sacrifice
.
Quest.
How
can
this
be
the
day
and
time
of
the
Passover
,
seeing
Iesus
Christ
and
his
Disciples
kept
the
Passover
yesterday
,
the
evening
before
he
suffered
?
Answ.
Reverend
Calvin
helps
me
with
an
answer
.
The
Elders
had
made
a
Tradition
,
that
when
the
fourteenth
day
of
the
Moneth
falleth
to
be
the
fifth
day
of
the
week
,
that
it
might
be
lawful
for
any
that
would
,
to
defer
the
Passover
one
day
,
that
so
the
Sabbath
day
might
be
the
day
after
the
Passover
,
that
so
that
Sabbath
should
be
an
high
day
,
as
the
Sabbath
after
the
suffering
of
Iesus
Christ
was
accompted
to
be
,
Ioh.
19.31
.
because
it
was
a
double
holy
convocation
,
much
may
be
said
about
this
,
but
I
will
pass
on
.
Now
Iesus
would
not
keep
the
day
allowed
by
Tradition
,
but
took
the
day
that
was
by
institution
,
he
kept
the
fourteenth
day
.
And
it
was
a
divine
providence
so
to
order
it
,
&
this
gave
Iudas
the
opportunity
to
betray
Iesus
Christ
,
to
the
Jews
the
day
before
their
Passover
,
who
followed
the
Tradition
of
the
Fathers
,
and
this
gave
the
occasion
that
Jesus
was
crucified
just
at
the
time
of
their
Passover
,
for
on
the
sixth
day
of
the
week
about
the
sixth
hour
,
which
was
about
noon
,
they
began
to
kill
Iesus
,
for
at
or
about
that
time
he
was
condemned
by
Pilate
.
4.
Here
was
a
great
check
given
unto
Pilate
before
he
had
passed
the
Sentence
,
hitherto
he
had
strove
with
the
Iews
(
the
Spirit
of
God
in
common
grace
assisting
him
)
to
stop
them
from
this
abominable
sin
,
by
behaving
himself
like
a
wise
,
prudent
,
diligent
,
just
judge
;
yet
they
grew
the
worse
by
all
his
pains
.
But
at
last
they
lighted
on
an
Argument
that
touched
him
,
and
overcame
him
to
do
unjustice
for
the
sake
of
man
,
now
God
strives
with
Pilate
,
that
he
might
still
be
valiant
in
doing
justly
,
and
not
condemn
the
innocent
,
and
the
striving
of
Gods
Spirit
was
by
his
wives
terrible
message
sent
unto
him
,
Math.
27.19
.
When
he
was
set
down
on
the
Iudgment
Seat
,
his
wife
sent
unto
him
saying
,
have
thou
nothing
to
do
with
that
just
man
for
I
have
suffered
many
things
this
day
in
a
dream
because
of
him
.
where
see
1.
The
time
when
the
message
came
,
when
he
was
set
down
on
the
Iudgement
Seat
,
and
making
ready
to
pronounce
the
Sentence
.
2.
The
matter
of
the
message
in
sundry
things
1.
She
eminently
asserts
the
innocency
of
the
person
of
Iesus
that
just
man
.
2.
She
warneth
and
exhorteth
Pilate
her
husband
to
have
nothing
to
do
with
,
or
to
do
nothing
against
that
just
man
,
in
judging
or
condemning
of
him
to
dy
.
3.
Her
reason
,
because
she
had
suffered
much
in
a
dream
that
day
about
him
,
which
had
terrified
her
,
stirred
up
her
heart
to
send
this
sad
warning
unto
him
,
a
faithful
part
of
a
wise
good
wife
.
Quest.
what
suffering
could
she
have
?
Answ.
Sad
apprehensions
of
the
guilt
of
innocent
blood
,
the
blood
of
an
holy
,
innocent
,
beneficent
person
,
looks
terribly
in
the
face
of
a
discreet
,
wise
person
,
as
she
seemeth
to
be
.
Quest.
How
did
she
suffer
?
Answ.
By
Terrours
in
a
divine
dream
,
it
was
not
a
diabolical
dream
,
Satans
chief
design
was
to
kill
Iesus
Christ
,
to
bruise
the
heel
of
his
humanity
.
Satan
had
much
adoe
to
bring
about
Pilate
to
do
it
,
and
now
that
he
was
come
about
,
he
was
hardly
put
to
it
to
keep
him
too
,
to
do
the
deed
;
and
this
check
from
his
wife
,
whom
he
knew
to
be
a
wise
woman
,
did
almost
shake
him
quite
off
again
,
there
was
but
one
Hinge
that
turned
him
,
and
still
held
him
,
viz.
that
generous
principle
what
?
shall
I
not
be
firm
and
true
to
my
Sovereign
,
Satan
would
not
have
thus
acted
;
but
it
was
a
divine
dream
,
and
the
Spirit
of
God
by
common
grace
in
the
wife
,
strove
with
her
husband
.
Quest.
How
came
she
thus
to
have
a
day
dream
?
that
morning
afore
she
rose
which
many
times
is
not
early
with
Gentlewomen
,
she
might
have
her
dream
which
gastered
her
,
and
caused
her
to
rise
and
send
to
hear
how
things
went
at
the
Court
:
and
being
informed
,
that
though
Pilate
had
with
much
prudence
and
diligence
carryed
himself
right
,
a
great
while
,
yet
they
had
brought
him
about
to
yield
to
them
,
whereupon
she
presently
wrote
that
message
,
or
delivered
it
to
some
fit
instrument
to
deliver
to
Pilate
.
Whether
this
message
was
openly
delivered
to
Pilate
,
or
whether
his
prudence
did
cause
it
to
be
published
,
it
is
not
said
,
but
he
was
no
doubt
,
willing
it
should
be
published
,
that
he
might
make
use
of
it
,
if
possible
to
stop
them
in
their
violence
.
Why
may
we
not
conjecture
that
seeing
,
Pilate
condemned
Jesus
Christ
for
fear
of
the
Emperours
displeasure
.
She
might
dream
,
that
it
should
be
punished
,
with
his
falling
into
the
Emperours
displeasure
,
and
his
banishment
into
Swetia
in
Germany
(
then
a
barbarous
Nation
)
where
there
is
a
Lake
near
Lucerna
called
Pilates
Lake
unto
this
day
?
So
much
touching
this
divine
check
unto
Pilate
,
the
probable
effects
of
this
message
.
NOthing
is
expresly
said
to
be
the
Effect
of
this
message
,
yet
upon
a
serious
weighing
all
the
Circumstances
,
we
shall
find
that
it
so
wrought
upon
him
,
that
after
he
was
set
down
in
the
Judgement
Seat
,
and
had
this
message
,
he
doth
again
attempt
to
perswade
them
by
the
same
Arguments
that
he
had
used
before
.
1.
He
argues
with
them
again
,
that
he
is
their
King
,
and
will
ye
crucifie
him
?
Joh.
19.14
,
15.
this
point
he
did
the
more
urge
.
First
,
because
the
Gentiles
knew
that
the
Jews
looked
for
a
King
and
Saviour
.
And
secondly
,
because
Jesus
Christ
had
fully
asserted
his
kingly
Office
before
Pilate
,
and
so
effectually
as
that
he
did
believe
it
,
viz.
with
an
historical
Faith
,
which
appeareth
by
the
Title
he
set
upon
the
Cross
of
Jesus
Christ
,
and
his
resolution
to
assert
it
.
That
Pilate
had
used
this
point
of
reasoning
with
them
,
before
he
yielded
to
them
,
is
manifest
,
because
one
part
of
their
answer
to
this
point
put
them
upon
that
plea
,
that
overcame
Pilate
.
Now
after
he
is
set
in
the
judgement
Seat
he
uses
the
same
plea
again
.
And
it
puts
the
Jews
upon
the
same
dreadful
answer
,
viz.
again
to
disclaim
Jesus
Christ
from
being
their
King
,
and
to
profess
that
they
had
no
King
but
Cesar
,
wherein
they
renounced
the
government
of
God
and
Christ
,
and
subjected
themselves
to
the
World
and
worldly
Rulers
;
who
have
kicked
them
about
the
world
in
every
place
,
ever
since
,
and
they
put
away
the
SCEPTER
from
Judah
,
and
never
had
it
since
restored
to
this
day
.
And
Pilate
by
this
their
answer
,
lay
open
to
the
same
snare
that
had
taken
him
,
and
still
holds
him
,
he
cannot
bear
that
word
to
be
imputed
to
him
,
no
friend
to
Cesar
.
What
?
not
true
and
constant
to
my
Sovereign
?
let
God
&
Christ
,
&
Conscience
,
&
all
go
,
rather
then
unndergo
that
imputation
.
Again
,
Pilate
doth
now
again
after
the
message
received
from
his
wife
,
put
them
upon
that
Dilemma
,
to
necessitate
them
to
choose
Jesus
,
or
to
prefer
Barrabas
before
him
,
which
he
thought
the
vilest
of
Pagans
would
not
do
;
for
though
they
had
so
spoken
before
,
yet
he
had
not
as
yet
granted
their
choice
.
Barrabas
was
not
delivered
to
them
,
till
at
the
last
,
as
we
shall
see
;
for
in
such
order
Mathew
doth
relate
them
.
And
it
app●areth
that
Pilate
urged
his
Arguments
over
and
over
,
for
so
he
doth
inculcate
that
point
sundry
times
,
when
they
cryed
out
,
crucifie
him
,
crucifie
him
,
Pilate
answered
,
why
?
what
evil
hath
he
done
?
and
thus
Pilate
argued
to
the
last
.
When
the
Priests
perswaded
the
people
to
ask
Barrabas
,
Pilate
answered
,
what
shall
I
do
with
Iesus
,
they
say
crucify
him
?
Pilate
saith
again
,
why
?
what
evil
hath
he
done
?
which
they
had
nothing
to
reply
unto
him
but
will
and
violence
,
the
reurging
of
those
points
,
seem
to
be
the
Effect
of
the
message
that
Pilates
wise
had
sent
unto
him
.
Yet
again
before
he
would
doe
the
wicked
Fact
,
he
had
one
device
more
,
wherby
he
hoped
either
to
appease
their
minds
,
or
if
not
to
assert
his
own
innocency
,
and
to
testifie
against
them
.
He
calleth
for
water
in
their
sight
,
and
washeth
his
hands
with
a
protestation
of
his
innocency
,
in
this
horrid
fact
of
shedding
the
blood
of
such
an
innocent
person
.
But
alas
Pilate
,
why
then
did
you
doe
the
deed
?
This
is
but
a
poor
excuse
to
you
,
though
a
convinsing
Argument
to
them
,
that
the
Judge
should
so
stedfastly
protest
the
innocency
of
Jesus
Christ
,
whom
they
out
of
envy
persecuted
to
the
death
.
They
still
are
in
fear
that
Pilate
would
shrink
from
the
work
,
and
not
finish
that
which
they
hoped
they
had
entangled
him
to
doe
.
And
because
they
saw
that
he
was
so
deeply
affected
with
the
guilt
of
the
innocent
blood
of
Jesus
,
they
endavoured
to
ease
his
mind
as
much
as
in
them
lay
of
that
terror
&
fear
.
Therefore
they
doe
in
a
most
dreadfull
manner
take
the
guilt
of
his
blood
upon
themselves
,
and
thereby
,
as
much
as
in
them
lay
,
to
acquit
Pilate
,
to
uphold
his
recoiling
heart
to
the
work
,
till
he
had
done
it
,
and
to
shew
their
confidence
in
the
case
,
and
harden
Pilates
heart
,
they
involve
their
Children
in
the
guilt
of
his
blood
.
Why
did
they
so
?
did
not
their
Fathers
cavill
against
God
,
for
setting
their
childrens
teeth
on
edge
,
when
their
Fathers
had
eaten
sower
grapes
?
Ezek.
18.2
,
3
,
4.
But
mad
envy
,
pride
and
passion
,
are
cruel
,
bloudy
,
confident
,
though
shut
up
in
blindness
and
violent
ignorance
.
It
is
the
saddest
curse
,
that
ever
parents
,
since
the
fall
of
Adam
,
brought
upon
their
Children
:
it
lyeth
upon
them
to
this
day
.
Thus
all
the
politick
devices
that
this
witty
ingenious
man
could
devise
,
did
them
no
good
,
but
much
hurt
,
putting
them
upon
horrid
sins
,
and
violence
,
almost
to
Rebellion
and
Arms.
Lastly
.
Pilate
shutteth
up
and
finisheth
this
sad
Court
with
four
Acts
,
not
of
justice
,
but
of
foul
injustice
and
cruelty
.
1.
He
delivereth
to
them
Barrabas
,
not
acted
till
now
,
an
act
abominable
to
God
,
to
justifie
the
wicked
,
as
Prov.
17.15
.
2.
He
passeth
Sentence
of
Condemnation
to
the
Cross
upon
Jesus
Christ
;
another
most
abominable
act
.
Prov.
17.15
.
3.
He
scourgeth
Jesus
Christ
the
second
time
:
for
this
scourging
was
at
and
upon
his
condemnation
.
Math.
27.26
.
&
Mar.
15.15
.
His
former
scourging
was
when
Herod
sent
him
back
to
Pilate
.
Pilate
told
the
Jews
,
he
would
scourge
him
and
release
him
.
Luk.
23.16
,
22.
And
he
did
so
.
Ioh.
19.1
.
but
did
not
release
him
.
And
now
again
upon
his
Condemnation
,
he
scourges
him
upon
his
sore
wounded
back
.
Psal.
129.3
.
Now
the
plowers
made
deep
and
long
their
furrows
on
his
back
.
4.
He
delivered
him
into
their
hands
to
crucifie
him
.
Ioh.
19.16
.
Math.
27.26
Mar.
15.15
.
Yea
,
(
which
is
to
be
marvelled
at
)
he
delivered
him
(
not
to
justice
)
but
to
their
will
.
Luk.
23.25
.
whose
wills
how
evill
they
were
,
Pilate
saw
.
So
endeth
the
sadest
Court
that
ever
was
held
in
this
World
many
sons
of
glory
have
been
condemned
in
many
Courts
in
this
world
.
But
the
Lord
of
glory
was
never
condemned
in
any
Court
save
in
this
Court
of
Pilate
,
and
in
the
Council
of
the
Jews
.
Great
&
many
instructions
are
h
re
,
but
I
pass
them
all
this
only
note
,
the
many
and
admirable
evid●nces
of
the
innocency
of
this
blessed
Lamb
of
God
do
shine
in
the
faces
both
of
Jews
and
Gentiles
,
and
all
the
world
.
Never
was
there
such
an
innocent
person
condemned
.
Before
I
finish
this
sad
Chapter
,
here
remaineth
another
cruel
act
,
to
increase
the
sufferings
of
our
Lord
Jesus
,
which
I
cannot
fully
say
was
an
act
of
Pilate
,
yet
it
was
done
by
his
permission
,
and
by
his
Souldiers
,
and
he
committed
them
to
their
will
,
and
therefore
he
must
give
an
account
of
it
before
Jesus
Christ
,
his
judge
and
ours
,
at
the
last
day
.
-
1.
It
is
the
fourth
act
of
mockery
done
unto
our
Lord
Jesus
.
The
first
act
of
mockery
was
done
unto
him
by
the
Jews
,
after
the
Council
had
condemned
him
,
and
committed
him
to
a
guard
,
to
be
kept
till
morning
,
they
spent
the
remainder
of
the
night
in
mocking
of
him

by

and

men
of

,

-

The
third
act
of
mockery
was
done
unto
him
by
Pilate
and
his
guard
in
the
pretorium
,
where
he
scourged
him
,
and
his
people
mocked
him
more
cruelly
then
before

The
fourth
act
of
mockery
is
now
done
unto
him
,
after

had
condemned
him
before
they
led
them
away
to
be
crucified

Then
the
Souldiers
of
the
Governour
,
took
Iesus
into
the
common
Hall
:
and
gathered
unto
him
the
whole
band
of
Souldiers
.
And
they
stripped
him
,
and
put
on
him
a
scarlet
Robe
.
And
when
they
had
platted
a
Crown
of
Thorns
,
they
put
it
upon
his
head
,
and
a
Reed
in
his
right
hand
:
and
they
bowed
the
knee
before
him
,
and
mocked
him
,
saying
,
Hail
King
of
the
Jews
.
And
they
spit
upon
him
,
and
took
the
Reed
,
and
smote
him
on
the
head
.
And
after
they
had
mocked
him
,
they
took
the
Robe
off
from
him
,
and
put
his
own
raiment
on
him
,
and
led
him
away
and
crucified
him
.

was
,

there
was
an
interim
to
get
the
Cross
,
and
all
things
ready
,
and
they
filled
the
interim
with
cruel
mockings
,
and
thus
the
time
was
delayed
until
the
beginning
of
the
sixth
hour

time

accomplished

particular
acts
of
mockery
which
they
did
unto
him
are

They
stripped
him
,
and
put
on
him
a
scarlet

to
mock

kind
of
mocking
.

mocked

CHAP.

.
The
History
of
their
crucifying
of
our
Lord
Iesus
Christ
.
When
they
had
got
all
things
ready
,
they
finished
their
mockery
,
put
off
his
Robes
,
put
on
his
own
garments
,
and
led
him
away
,
as
a
condemned
Malefactor
to
his
execution
,
where
we
may
see
what
was
done
by
the
way
-
1.
Their
rigour
to
the
utmost
they
could
.
-
2.
The
Lord
Jesus
his
gracious
deportment
.
1.
They
made
him
to
carry
his
own
Cross
,
upon
which
he
was
to
be
put
to
death
,
which
was
as
much
disgrace
and
rigour
as
they
were
in
a
capacity
to
exercise
against
him
.
They
had
but
little
time
,
and
were
in
great
haste
,
which
shortned
their
rigorous
dealings
.
Herein
Iesus
Christ
did
superabundantly
answer
the
Type
in
Isaac
,
Gen.
22.6
.
who
carryed
on
his
back
the
wood
wherewith
he
himself
was
to
be
sacrificed
,
but
that
was
without
any
rigour
.
Jesus
Christ
carryed
the
Tree
on
his
back
,
with
all
rigour
they
could
inflict
,
on
which
he
was
crucifyed
,
Joh.
19.17
.
he
meekly
took
up
his
Cross
,
according
to
his
doctrine
which
he
taught
the
Church
,
he
now
teacheth
by
his
Example
,
added
to
his
precept
.
2.
They
led
him
betwixt
two
theeves
,
Malefactors
justly
condemned
,
to
add
disgrace
unto
him
,
as
if
he
were
a
Malefactor
like
them
.
Luk.
23.32
.
As
they
placed
them
in
the
execution
,
so
did
they
in
leading
them
.
Jesus
was
placed
in
the
middle
,
and
the
theeves
,
one
at
his
right
hand
,
and
the
other
at
his
left
,
he
in
the
middle
,
as
the
worst
of
them
all
.
3.
They
compel
Simon
to
carry
the
hinder
end
of
the
cross
after
him
;
in
which
history
consider
.
1.
The
place
where
they
doe
this
,
Math.
27.32
.
As
they
came
out
:
Out
of
what
,
or
whence
?
Either
out
of
the
Judgement-Hall
,
where
they
mocked
him
,
&
from
whence
they
led
him
:
Or
when
they
came
out
of
the
city
to
go
to
Golgotha
.
It
is
most
probable
it
was
as
they
came
out
of
the
city
,
because
Simon
was
coming
out
of
the
country
on
his
way
,
Luk.
23.26
.
And
they
had
made
our
Lord
Jesus
to
carry
his
cross
untill
he
was
out
of
the
city
;
so
long
as
he
was
able
to
doe
it
.
His
body
was
macerated
by
the
loss
of
blood
,
in
his
two
whippings
,
and
twice
crowning
with
Thorns
,
with
want
of
rest
and
sustenance
for
so
long
a
time
.
His
straining
under
an
heavy
burden
,
would
rend
and
tear
his
wounded
back
and
head
,
with
great
pain
and
torment
,
which
would
disable
him
from
going
so
fast
as
they
(
being
in
hast
)
would
have
him
go
:
It
is
like
also
,
that
they
had
made
his
cross
longer
then
others
,
that
they
might
advance
him
higher
,
and
more
visible
to
all
.
Haman
had
a
Gibbet
very
high
to
hang
Mordecai
,
and
these
were
acted
with
the
like
spirit
of
envy
.
The
length
would
adde
weight
,
and
a
necessity
for
somebody
to
bear
the
hinder
end
after
him
,
as
Luke
speaks
.
And
they
were
in
hast
,
they
may
not
goe
so
softly
for
many
reasons
,
-
1.
It
was
the
Jews
Passover
night
,
Ioh.
19.14
.
-
2.
The
morrow
was
the
Sabbath
,
the
day
after
the
Passover
,
and
therefore
an
high
day
.
Joh.
19.31
.
-
3.
Envy
is
impetuous
till
revenge
be
executed
.
2.
Consider
the
Person
,
Symon
a
Cyrenian
who
was
coming
out
of
the
Country
about
his
affairs
.
Quest.
Why
did
they
apprehend
such
a
man
,
and
compel
him
to
this
work
?
Were
there
not
enough
among
their
Crew
that
were
ready
enough
to
have
done
it
?
whose
envy
would
prompt
them
to
say
and
doe
,
if
need
were
.
according
to
our
proverb
If
they
want
a
Hang-man
,
I
'le
be
the
man
rather
then
the
work
should
not
be
done
.
Doubtless
there
were
many
in
the
Crew
,
so
ill-minded
against
Jesus
Christ
.
But
it
is
most
probable
they
took
this
man
,
to
adde
affliction
to
Jesus
Christ
:
he
was
a
godly
man
,
one
of
Jesus
Christ
his
followers
,
a
man
of
note
,
him
they
force
to
joyne
with
them
in
this
wicked
execution
.
But
here
we
may
consider
three
things
,
which
I
propose
under
submission
to
better
judgments
.
1.
Simon
did
valiantly
refuse
,
and
oppose
to
joyn
with
them
,
he
would
have
no
hand
in
so
cruel
and
unjust
a
murther
,
and
so
far
refused
as
to
give
sufficient
evidence
,
that
he
did
disclaim
and
condemn
their
fact
which
they
were
about
to
execute
.
2.
He
so
far
refused
,
as
to
put
them
upon
compulsion
;
they
by
force
compeled
him
to
it
.
3.
No
doubt
he
saw
that
it
was
a
work
of
pitty
,
mercy
and
love
to
Jesus
Christ
to
ease
,
releive
and
help
him
in
undergoing
their
rigor
(
it
may
be
Jesus
said
to
him
,
Help
me
)
with
that
heart
and
mind
he
set
to
his
shoulder
,
hitched
it
on
upon
his
own
shoulder
,
to
give
unto
Jesus
Christ
all
the
ease
he
could
.
3.
Consider
,
that
these
acts
of
grace
in
Simon
were
highly
accepted
of
God
,
and
well
pleasing
to
Jesus
Christ
,
which
may
appear
by
these
things
recorded
in
Scripture
.
1.
That
this
act
is
recorded
in
Scripture
,
by
three
evangelical
Witnesses
,
Mat.
Mar.
Luk.
As
Jesus
said
of
that
good
woman
that
ointed
his
feet
,
Math.
26
13.
Wherever
the
Gospel
shall
be
preached
,
her
act
shall
be
preached
;
so
it
is
with
this
act
of
Symon
.
2.
Symon
is
named
as
the
doer
of
this
act
,
whereas
that
woman
is
not
named
,
though
her
act
is
honourably
mentioned
,
the
love
of
her
action
smelling
more
sweet
then
the
perfume
of
her
unction
did
3.
This
Symon
is
further
described
and
notified
,
First
,
by
his
country
;
a
Cyrenian
,
yet
a
known
man
at
Ierusalem
.
Secondly
.
By
his
two
sons
,
Alexander
and
Rufus
,
famous
in
the
Gospel
by
this
noted
act
of
their
father
,
if
not
by
their
own
virtues
also
,
Mar.
15.21
.
4.
Symon
doth
practice
a
Gospel
rule
in
this
act
,
Gal.
6.2
.
Bear
one
anothers
burden
,
and
so
fullfill
the
law
of
Christ
.
Heb.
13.13
.
Let
us
go
forth
unto
him
without
the
Camp
,
bearing
his
reproach
.
Sect.
2.
SO
much
for
their
Rigor
:
now
followeth
the
gracious
deportment
of
Jesus
Christ
in
his
going
to
Golgotha
.
Luk.
23.27
,
28
,
29
,
30
,
31.
And
there
followed
him
a
great
Company
of
people
and
of
women
,
which
also
bewailed
and
lamented
him
.
But
Jesus
turning
to
them
said
.
Ye
daughters
of
Ierusalem
,
weep
not
for
me
,
but
weep
for
your selves
,
and
for
your
children
.
For
behold
,
the
dayes
are
coming
in
which
they
shall
say
,
Blessed
are
the
barren
,
and
the
womb
that
never
bare
,
and
the
paps
that
never
gave
suck
.
Then
shall
they
begin
to
say
to
the
mountains
fall
on
us
,
and
to
the
hills
,
cover
us
:
for
if
they
doe
these
things
in
a
green
tree
,
what
shall
be
done
in
a
dry
?
So
soon
as
ever
he
was
eased
of
that
cruel
and
heavy
burden
of
his
cross
,
by
the
assistance
of
Symon
,
he
pres●ntly
falls
into
holy
discourse
,
expressing
the
tender
Compassions
of
his
heart
over
Ierusalem
,
and
the
falling
,
dying
,
perishing
Church
and
Church-state
of
the
Jews
.
In
which
discourse
,
1.
See
the
occasion
of
his
discourse
,
There
were
a
great
multitude
following
him
among
them
there
were
mourning
women
,
who
lamented
for
him
,
and
over
him
for
his
death
approaching
,
v.
27.
As
it
was
the
manner
of
the
Jews
.
Ier.
9
,
17
,
18
,
19.
Call
for
mourning
women
,
skillfull
in
mourning
,
that
our
eyes
may
run
down
with
tears
.
&c.
Though
Jesus
did
not
call
for
any
mourners
to
follow
him
,
yet
there
were
such
as
followed
him
,
as
dangerous
as
the
times
were
,
to
app●ar
to
be
a
lover
,
and
a
believer
in
him
.
By
this
mourning
of
these
,
Jesus
took
occasion
to
discourse
.
2.
See
the
manner
of
his
entrance
upon
his
discourse
,
v.
28.
Jesus
turned
to
them
and
said
,
Daughters
of
Ierusalem
.
Where
we
see
what
a
kind
look
Jesus
gave
unto
these
mourners
that
followed
him
.
We
see
also
what
an
holy
compellation
he
giveth
them
,
Ye
Daughters
of
Ierusalem
,
that
is
ye
children
of
the
Church
.
3.
See
the
matter
of
his
speech
unto
them
and
to
all
the
Auditory
in
four
Particulars
.
1.
Weep
not
for
me
,
that
is
not
only
for
me
:
it
is
a
[
not
]
comparative
,
viz.
not
so
much
,
or
not
only
for
me
;
for
I
shall
tell
you
of
another
object
of
your
weeping
and
lamentation
.
He
doth
not
forbid
them
weeping
for
him
,
much
less
doth
he
check
or
blame
them
for
it
,
but
he
informeth
them
of
another
object
to
weep
for
,
besides
him
.
You
now
weep
because
of
my
death
this
day
,
but
I
tell
you
of
that
which
shall
be
the
effect
and
punishment
of
that
which
is
done
this
day
in
putting
me
to
death
.
Jerusalem
shall
smart
for
what
they
doe
this
day
,
and
when
that
day
of
vengeance
is
come
,
there
will
be
other
matter
of
weeping
then
yet
you
see
.
2.
Weep
for
your selves
and
for
your
children
:
weep
both
for
the
present
Generation
,
and
for
the
rising
Generations
.
Look
not
only
on
present
things
,
but
consider
what
your
present
actions
do
portend
and
threaten
to
bring
upon
you
.
And
did
you
but
consider
what
punishment
,
Calamityes
and
miseryes
this
dayes
act
will
bring
upon
Ierusalem
,
you
would
then
see
that
there
is
great
cause
to
weep
for
your selves
,
and
for
your
children
,
as
well
as
for
me
.
3.
Jesus
Christ
gives
them
a
Reason
why
they
should
weep
for
themselves
and
for
their
Children
;
viz.
because
of
those
terrible
days
that
are
coming
upon
them
,
which
are
described
,
First
.
By
that
usual
note
of
attention
,
Behold
,
shewing
the
certainty
of
such
calamityes
coming
on
them
,
and
the
terribleness
thereof
,
in
both
these
respects
,
those
dayes
will
be
remarkable
,
Behold
.
2dly
.
Those
dayes
are
described
by
the
terrible
effects
thereof
,
which
prove
them
to
be
a
just
matter
of
mourning
and
weeping
for
your selves
and
for
your
children
.
Those
terrible
effects
of
the
calamity
of
those
dayes
are
two
.
v.
29
,
30.
1.
They
shall
bless
the
barr●n
woman
,
womb
,
&
dry
breasts
,
it
was
a
reproach
in
Israel
to
be
barren
,
Gen.
30.23
.
Luk.
1.25
.
but
now
they
shall
count
them
happy
that
have
no
children
to
see
and
feel
these
bitter
calamityes
,
the
words
imply
that
it
is
a
curse
and
misery
to
have
Children
to
be
sufferers
of
these
calamityes
,
which
is
an
Argument
to
prove
that
these
calamityes
will
be
great
,
yea
,
exceeding
great
;
the
consideration
whereof
doth
shew
that
you
have
cause
to
weep
for
your selves
,
and
for
your
Children
,
as
well
as
for
me
.
2.
The
second
Effect
will
be
,
that
they
shall
be
in
such
desperation
,
that
they
shall
wish
the
mountains
to
fall
on
them
,
and
the
hills
to
cover
them
,
which
is
a
Scripture
expression
of
desperation
,
Rev.
6.15
,
16
,
17.
desperation
is
one
of
hell
Torments
.
Such
terrible
dayes
are
coming
on
you
and
your
Children
,
which
should
cause
you
to
weep
for
your selves
and
for
your
Children
,
as
well
as
for
me
.
And
all
this
Jesus
Christ
doth
foretel
them
,
with
an
heart
more
bleeding
with
compassion
,
over
them
his
dying
Church
,
then
over
his
own
dying
body
,
now
bleeding
with
Furrows
on
his
back
,
and
thorny
wounds
on
his
head
,
and
therefore
exhorts
them
to
add
this
ditty
unto
their
present
mournings
for
him
.
4.
He
gives
a
demonstrative
reason
,
that
such
at
least
,
if
not
far
worse
calamityes
shall
surely
come
upon
them
,
viz.
because
they
add
unto
all
their
wrath
provoking
sins
,
this
last
and
greatest
,
in
putting
to
death
so
unjustly
,
so
cruelly
the
Lord
of
glory
,
the
Son
of
God
mightily
proved
so
to
be
,
by
many
miracles
done
among
them
,
&
their
own
King
Saviour
,
&
Messiah
.
Which
sins
do
ripen
them
for
wrath
,
as
dry
wood
is
fitted
and
prepared
for
the
fire
.
This
reason
is
communicated
with
deep
and
elegant
wisdome
,
so
as
that
the
Enemies
could
not
easily
interpret
it
,
or
apply
it
,
so
as
to
stop
them
in
their
way
,
or
hinder
them
from
putting
him
to
death
;
because
that
was
the
work
which
Jesus
Christ
did
willingly
expose
himself
unto
,
being
that
,
upon
which
the
salvation
of
Gods
Elect
dependeth
.
Thus
Jesus
Christ
expresseth
this
reasoning
,
if
they
execute
these
crueltyes
upon
me
an
innocent
person
,
as
unmeet
for
such
punishments
,
as
green
wood
for
the
fire
.
Then
what
shal
befal
them
?
who
are
by
this
sin
,
added
to
their
many
other
sins
,
fully
ripe
for
wrath
,
as
dry
wood
is
fitted
for
the
fire
.
He
doth
not
say
how
hot
the
fire
shall
be
,
but
he
saith
,
what
shall
be
done
to
the
dry
?
to
shew
that
their
misery
shall
be
unexpressible
,
yea
,
unconceivable

Their
arriving
at
Golgotha
,
and
setting
up
the
Cross
.
JOh.
19.17
,
18
,
19
,
20
,
21
,
22.
And
he
bearing
his
Cross
,
went
forth
into
a
place
called
the
place
of
a
scull
,
which
is
called
in
the
Hebrew
Golgotha
.
Where
they
crucified
him
,
and
two
other
with
him
,
on
either
side
one
,
and
Jesus
in
the
midst
.
And
Pilate
wrote
a
Title
,
and
put
it
on
the
Cross
:
and
the
writing
was
,
JESVS
OF
NAZARETH
THE
KING
OF
THE
JEWS
.
This
Title
then
read
many
of
the
Jews
:
for
the
place
where
Jesus
was
crucified
was
nigh
to
the
City
,
and
it
was
written
in
Hebrew
,
and
Greek
,
and
Latine
.
Then
said
the
chief
Priests
of
the
Jews
to
Pilate
,
Write
not
,
the
King
of
the
Jews
,
but
that
be
said
,
I
am
King
of
the
Jews
.
Pilate
answered
,
What
I
have
written
,
I
have
written
.
The
place
out
of
which
they
lead
him
was
the
City
,
that
he
might
fulfil
the
Types
of
Scriptures
,
that
he
might
be
a
sin
offering
,
to
cleanse
away
the
sins
of
the
people
.
The
manner
of
his
going
was
bearing
his
Cross
,
bearing
the
imputation
,
the
guilt
,
and
the
reproach
of
sin
,
and
the
curse
of
God
for
it
,
signified
by
his
hanging
on
a
Tree
.
The
place
whither
they
carry
him
is
Golgotha
,
the
place
of
a
scull
,
where
many
dead
mens
bones
weresome
heaped
up
,
some
scattered
about
,
and
that
made
the
place
ceremonially
unclean
,
and
that
gave
name
to
the
place
.
And
as
it
was
ceremonially
a
filthy
place
,
so
civilly
it
was
no
better
,
a
place
of
reproach
,
disgrace
,
dishonour
,
a
place
where
the
worst
and
vilest
malefactors
were
punished
,
and
executed
,
the
filthiest
place
in
the
world
.
There
our
Lord
Jesus
suffered
the
punishment
of
our
sin
,
shewing
us
the
just
desert
of
our
sin
.
When
they
were
come
to
Golgotha
,
before
they
laid
hands
on
the
blessed
person
of
our
Lord
Jesus
,
they
made
preparation
.
1.
They
set
up
the
Crosses
,
the
Cross
of
Jesus
they
set
in
the
midst
,
and
the
Malefactors
,
one
on
the
right
hand
,
the
other
on
the
left
,
yet
set
his
Cross
in
the
chief
place
,
as
the
greatest
Malefactor
:
which
though
they
did
it
out
of
envy
to
disgrace
him
in
the
vilest
manner
they
could
,
yet
God
permitted
it
so
to
be
done
out
of
infinite
wisdome
and
justice
.
For
by
imputation
he
was
the
greatest
of
sinners
,
seeing
all
sin
met
in
him
,
was
laid
upon
him
,
and
laid
to
his
charge
,
Isai
.
53.
Their
Crosses
were
set
so
near
together
that
they
could
all
speak
to
each
other
,
as
appeareth
in
the
sequel
.
2.
They
affixed
a
Title
at
the
top
of
Jesus
Christ
his
Cross
,
to
shew
the
cause
for
which
he
dyed
,
Math.
27.37
.
and
Mark
.
15.26
.
whether
they
did
so
to
the
other
it
it
is
not
said
,
but
so
they
did
to
Iesus
Christ
,
and
this
matter
Pilate
ordered
and
over-ruled
.
And
it
being
an
eminent
part
of
the
History
,
noted
by
all
the
Evangelists
,
and
notified
all
the
world
over
,
I
shall
therefore
distinctly
set
down
the
History
of
it
in
seven
particulars
.
1.
The
author
,
actor
and
doer
of
it
,
was
Pilate
,
had
it
been
in
the
power
of
the
Priests
it
should
have
been
other
then
it
was
,
as
we
shall
see
in
the
History
of
it
.
2.
He
positively
asserts
and
proclaimeth
him
to
be
the
King
of
the
Iews
,
that
is
Christ
the
Messiah
,
and
Saviour
of
the
World
.
3.
He
doth
make
this
proclamation
to
all
the
World
,
in
these
three
most
general
known
languages
.
Hebrew
,
Greek
,
Latine
;
one
or
other
of
which
most
men
knew
.
4.
The
nearness
of
that
populous
and
frequented
City
Ierusalem
,
gave
opportunity
to
many
of
all
Nations
to
read
this
Title
.
So
that
the
same
thereof
was
notified
to
all
the
World
,
and
by
this
it
appeareth
that
it
was
inscribed
with
great
and
legible
Letters
,
which
might
be
seen
and
read
at
a
distance
.
5.
This
inscription
was
a
sharp
and
sore
rebuke
to
the
Iews
,
to
the
high
Priests
,
Scribes
,
and
Pharisees
,
that
they
should
crucifie
their
own
Lord
,
Saviour
,
and
King
,
whom
they
looked
for
to
redeem
Israel
,
but
they
looked
with
a
misguided
Eye
,
and
therefore
knew
him
not
.
6.
They
felt
the
sting
of
this
rebuke
,
and
winched
at
it
,
they
were
displeased
,
and
requested
Pilate
that
it
might
be
altered
,
which
might
easily
be
done
by
adding
a
word
or
two
,
viz.
he
saith
I
am
King
of
the
Iews
,
but
that
word
would
have
quite
altered
the
sense
and
the
truth
.
7.
Pilate
was
resolute
and
unmoveable
,
What
I
have
written
,
I
have
written
,
and
this
resolution
of
his
seemeth
to
be
well
grounded
.
-
1.
Because
he
was
convinced
of
the
Truth
of
it
,
for
Iesus
Christ
had
fully
asserted
to
him
his
kingly
Office
&
Pilate
with
an
historical
Faith
believed
it
.
-
2.
He
saw
that
the
Iews
needed
such
a
check
,
who
had
forced
him
to
do
that
which
he
had
no
heart
to
have
done
,
only
by
his
respect
to
Cesar
,
they
intrapped
him
.
Thus
we
see
Christ
made
a
Sin-offering
,
carried
out
of
the
city
,
and
setteth
up
the
banner
of
Salvation
in
Golgotha
:
and
Golgotha
was
the
first
place
where
the
Grace
and
Kingdome
of
Jesus
Christ
was
most
solemnly
published
to
all
nations
,
in
the
most
general
known
languages
:
Ye
Pilate
is
a
resolute
publisher
of
the
Kingdome
of
Jesus
Christ
.
In
Golgotha
Jesus
Christ
suffered
,
and
laid
the
foundation
of
the
Gospel
Church
.
In
our
sacramental
celebrations
of
the
sufferings
of
Jesus
Christ
,
we
converse
with
Jesus
Christ
in
Golgotha
.
And
to
doe
that
well
&
effectually
,
is
an
eminent
work
of
Christianity
.

Their
cruel
Execution
done
upon
the
blessed
Person
of
Jesus
Christ
,
MAth.
27.34
,
35
,
36.
They
gave
him
vinegar
to
drink
mingled
with
Gall
:
and
when
he
had
tasted
thereof
,
he
would
not
drink
.
And
they
crucified
him
and
parted
his
Garments
,
casting
Lots
,
that
it
might
be
fulfilled
which
was
spoken
by
the
Prophet
,
They
parted
my
garment
among
them
,
and
upon
my
vesture
did
they
cast
lots
.
And
sitting
down
,
they
watched
him
there
.
When
they
had
made
all
things
ready
,
they
laid
hands
on
his
blessed
Person
,
and
the
first
thing
they
did
was
,
they
gave
him
the
cup
of
death
to
drink
,
which
he
tasted
,
saith
Mathew
,
but
refused
to
drink
,
viz.
a
draught
of
it
,
saith
Mark.
A
tast
of
that
cup
was
enough
.
That
he
should
taste
death
,
this
was
a
significant
act
,
which
respects
all
that
followed
.
This
is
the
Preface
of
death
,
put
for
the
whole
.
This
is
that
Cup
of
which
Jesus
Christ
spake
before
,
Mat.
20.22
,
23.
Can
ye
drink
of
the
Cup
that
I
shall
drink
?
namely
this
cup
of
death
,
and
be
baptized
with
the
baptisme
that
I
shall
be
baptized
with
?
viz.
with
mine
own
blood
running
down
my
face
from
the
wounds
which
my
thorny
crowns
caused
.
This
is
the
cup
that
Iohn
speaketh
of
,
Ioh.
18.11
.
The
Cup
which
my
Father
giveth
me
to
drink
,
shall
I
not
drink
it
?
And
this
he
speaketh
to
quiet
Peter
,
when
he
would
have
fought
for
him
.
This
is
the
cup
that
he
had
prayed
thrice
a
little
before
,
that
it
might
pass
from
him
.
Math.
26
,
39.40
.
but
he
submitted
to
his
fathers
will
,
and
now
behold
he
tasteth
of
it
.
It
is
the
preface
,
and
first
act
of
his
death
.
The
matter
of
this
cup
,
saith
Mathew
,
was
vinegar
and
gall
.
Math.
27.34
.
Mar.
15.23
.
saith
Wine
mixed
with
mirrhe
,
all
is
one
,
for
vinegar
is
sower
wine
,
and
that
mixed
with
gall
or
mirrhe
,
or
with
both
.
It
seems
it
was
the
Romane
manner
of
executing
Malefactors
,
for
Iob.
19.29
.
There
was
a
vessel
of
such
liquor
ready
.
Whether
it
was
in
favour
,
or
rigour
and
terror
,
it
is
not
said
,
but
sure
they
did
nothing
in
favour
to
Jesus
Christ
,
and
Christ
doth
bitterly
complain
of
it
,
Psal.
69.21
.
as
we
shall
afterwards
see
.
2.
The
time
that
this
act
of
death
was
done
unto
our
Lord
Jesus
,
in
giving
him
the
cup
of
death
,
was
at
the
beginning
of
the
sixth
hour
,
Mark
.
15.25
saith
it
was
the
third
hour
,
but
that
maketh
no
difficulty
,
it
is
easily
reconciled
,
for
at
the
end
of
the
third
hour
,
the
sixth
hour
began
,
and
that
lasted
till
the
ninth
hour
;
so
the
Jews
,
they
divided
the
time
of
the
day
.
And
that
Mark
so
intended
,
appeareth
,
because
at
this
very
instant
when
they
give
the
cup
of
death
unto
Jesus
Christ
,
the
Sun
blushed
,
and
hid
his
face
under
a
black
vaile
of
darkness
,
as
being
ashamed
to
look
upon
this
abominable
act
,
that
these
wicked
men
were
about
;
and
the
exact
time
of
the
beginning
of
this
darkness
is
expressly
said
to
be
at
the
beginning
of
the
sixth
hour
,
Math.
27
,
45.
Mark
15.33
.
This
darkening
of
the
Sun
was
a
divine
and
miraculous
Testimony
from
God
against
this
wicked
fast
,
which
one
would
think
might
have
terrified
them
from
proceeding
,
but
seared
Consciences
feel
nothing
.
This
darkness
was
not
an
Ecclipse
of
the
Sun
,
by
the
interposition
of
the
Moon
,
because
it
was
the
middle
of
the
Moneth
,
and
the
Moon
was
about
the
Full.
Again
,
it
was
not
a
natural
Ecclipse
,
because
this
darkness
lasted
three
hours
,
which
never
any
natural
Ecclipse
did
,
or
can
do
.
Besides
,
Ecclipses
are
unperceivable
at
the
beginning
and
end
,
but
this
darkness
began
as
it
seemeth
to
me
in
its
height
and
so
continued
at
the
same
height
,
from
the
beginning
to
the
end
.
When
they
began
,
and
gave
Jesus
Christ
the
Cup
of
death
,
it
grew
suddenly
dark
,
and
about
the
time
that
Jesus
Christ
dyed
it
was
light
again
,
both
the
periods
of
the
darkness
were
eminently
observable
.
It
was
not
a
total
darkness
as
night
is
,
by
the
absence
of
the
Sun
,
for
it
is
said
,
Joh.
29.20
.
many
did
read
the
supersciption
upon
the
Cross
of
Iesus
Christ
.
Also
Iesus
saw
his
mother
and
the
Disciple
whom
Iesus
loved
standing
by
her
,
Joh.
19.26
.
and
Iesus
saw
the
Souldiers
dividing
his
garments
,
and
casting
lots
on
his
vesture
,
as
the
Prophesy
intimateth
,
Psal.
22.18
.
It
was
an
extraordinary
and
amazing
darkness
,
to
reprehend
their
violent
,
cruel
,
and
bloody
act
,
which
they
were
doing
,
in
laying
hands
upon
the
spotless
Lamb
of
God
;
it
was
the
hour
and
power
of
darkness
wherein
the
Prince
of
darkness
had
got
down
the
Lord
of
glory
under
his
mercyless
hands
.
It
was
an
universal
darkness
;
for
if
the
body
of
the
Sun
be
darkened
,
the
Moon
and
Stars
that
receive
their
light
therefrom
,
must
needs
be
also
in
a
like
proportion
darkned
&
obscured
.
Some
holy
Divines
say
that
this
darkning
of
the
sun
,
was
a
visible
sign
of
Gods
desertion
,
and
hiding
his
face
from
Jesus
Christ
all
the
time
of
his
suffering
upon
the
Cross
.
3.
The
wicked
Murderers
are
undaunted
,
they
goe
on
with
their
work
they
had
in
hand
,
they
strip
off
his
garments
,
and
crucifie
him
naked
,
(
unless
they
had
so
much
modesty
as
to
cover
shame
)
for
all
the
Evangelists
put
the
parting
of
his
garments
,
at
or
about
the
beginning
of
the
time
of
his
hanging
o●
the
Cross
:
If
they
had
his
garments
,
he
was
naked
,
putting
upon
him
as
much
indignity
&
shame
as
they
could
.
4.
They
lifted
him
up
on
high
,
that
they
might
fasten
him
to
the
cross
.
This
was
typified
by
lifting
up
the
brazen
serpent
in
the
wilderness
,
as
Jesus
Christ
himself
testifieth
,
Ioh.
3.14
.
As
Moses
lifted
up
the
serpent
in
the
wilderness
,
even
so
must
the
Son
of
man
be
lifted
up
.
Ioh.
8.28
.
When
ye
have
lifted
up
the
Son
of
man
,
then
shall
ye
know
that
I
am
he
.
Ioh.
12.32
,
33.
I
,
when
I
am
lifted
up
from
the
earth
will
draw
all
men
unto
me
.
This
he
said
signifiing
what
death
he
should
die
.
By
his
so
dying
,
he
was
made
conspicuous
to
all
the
world
,
and
he
draweth
all
his
Elect
effectually
,
and
a
great
part
of
the
world
visibly
to
follow
him
.
Isai.
45.22
.
Look
unto
me
all
ends
of
the
earth
and
be
saved
.

They
first
nailed
his
two
hands
upon
the
stretch
,
unto
the
two
wings
of
the
●ross
,
Psal.
22.6
.
His
hands
are
said
to
be
pierced
first
before
his
feet
.
6.
When
his
hands
were
nailed
,
they
let
him
drop
,
and
hang
with
the
whole
weight
of
his
body
upon
his
pierced
hands
nailed
to
the
tree
.
Yea
not
only
so
,
but
they
pulled
and
stretched
him
,
they
struck
all
his
bones
and
joynts
out
of
joint
viz.
his
Wrists
,
Elbows
,
shoulder-blad●s
,
Hips
,
Knees
,
Ancles

All
my
bones
are
out
of
joynt
.
I
may
tell
all
my
bones
,
they
look
and
stare
upon
me
.
They
start
out
of
place
,
upon
the
wrack
.
These
things
are
said
in
the
Prophesy
,
and
done
in
the
history
,
and
so
are
many
thing
more
besides
these
now
named
.
7.
When
they
had
wracked
his
body
into
that
stretch
,
then
they
nailed
his
feet
,
Psal.
22.6
.
His
feet
are
said
to
be
pierced
and
nailed
after
his
hands
,
in
that
wracking
and
tormenting
stretch
.
8.
Thus
he
is
nailed
unto
and
hanged
upon
a
tree
,
that
is
the
wood
of
a
tree
,
1.
Pet.
2.24
.
And
so
he
was
made
a
curse
for
us
.
Gal.
3.12
.
For
it
is
written
,
cursed
is
every
one
that
hangeth
on
a
tree
.
9.
They
set
a
Watch
and
Guard
about
him
,
Mat.
27.36
.
Sitting
down
,
they
watched
him
there
.
He
that
had
the
charge
of
that
,
was
a
Centurion
,
with
his
band
of
Souldiers
;
whose
Charge
was
to
keep
peace
and
order
.
It
was
a
prudent
point
of
the
Romane
Goverment
,
and
might
be
done
by
such
as
were
not
accessary
to
the
sin
,
in
putting
Jesus
Christ
to
death
.
And
we
shall
hear
further
of
this
Centurion
hereafter
.
Sect.
5.
Where
we
shall
consider
what
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ
did
as
he
was
hanging
on
the
Cross
,
viz.
-
1.
He
forgave
his
Persecutors
.
-
2.
He
took
loving
and
tender
care
for
his
widdow
mother
.
-
3.
He
took
tender
care
for
the
Salvation
of
the
penitent
Thief
.
-
4.
The
rest
of
the
3.
hours
,
from
the
6t
.
to
the
9th
.
hour
,
he
spent
silently
in
his
most
bitter
agonies
,
&
at
the
9th
.
hour
he
spake
four
words
&
then
dyed
.
We
shall
also
take
notice
of
the
behaviour
of
the
Jews
all
this
time
;
which
to
see
and
hear
,
was
no
small
part
of
the
sufferings
of
Jesus
Christ
.
Luk.
23.34
.
And
Jesus
said
,
Father
forgive
them
,
they
know
not
what
they
doe
.
This
is
recorded
as
the
first
word
that
Jesus
Christ
spake
upon
the
Cross
.
All
the
time
they
were
abusing
,
wracking
and
tormenting
him
,
he
was
silent
as
a
Lamb
:
And
when
he
spake
,
these
were
his
words
,
when
they
had
done
the
worst
they
could
against
him
,
he
forgave
them
,
and
prayed
his
father
to
forgive
them
.
Where
we
have
to
consider
,
1.
His
own
act
of
forgiving
them
is
implyed
in
an
eminency
,
in
his
applying
himself
to
his
Father
to
pardon
them
.
As
Jesus
Christ
hath
taught
us
to
forgive
our
Brother
,
yea
our
enemies
;
so
he
himself
doth
practice
at
this
eminent
time
.
2.
He
prayes
the
Father
to
forgive
them
,
which
he
could
not
have
done
,
unless
he
himself
●ad
forgiven
them
:
for
their
offence
was
against
both
Father
and
son
,
and
therefore
both
must
concur
in
the
pardon
.
3.
He
urges
the
Father
with
a
charitable
and
compassionate
reason
,
because
alas
,
they
are
in
a
Temptation
,
and
know
not
what
they
do
.
4.
The
Lord
doth
herein
with
divine
wisdome
distinguish
,
viz
,
that
there
be
two
sorts
among
his
persecutors
.
Some
,
we
have
cause
to
fear
,
did
know
what
they
did
,
as
appears
,
Math.
21.38
,
this
is
the
heir
come
let
us
kill
him
,
and
the
inheritance
shall
be
ours
.
Such
as
so
acted
are
not
within
the
compass
of
Iesus
Christ
his
pardon
and
prayer
.
But
the
generality
of
the
people
acted
even
as
they
were
led
,
1
Cor.
12.2
.
and
they
did
like
those
that
followed
Absolom
,
in
the
simplicity
of
their
hearts
,
now
such
as
those
Jesus
Christ
doth
pitty
,
pardon
,
and
pray
for
.
The
chief
Priests
&
Council
did
know
,
or
might
have
known
that
he
was
Christ
the
Son
of
the
living
God
;
for
besides
all
the
proofs
that
he
gave
of
it
,
in
his
life
and
Ministry
,
by
doctrine
and
fulfilling
Prophesies
,
and
abundance
of
miracles
,
yet
they
raged
against
him
,
and
resolved
to
kill
him
,
and
when
they
could
find
no
cause
against
him
,
they
put
him
upon
it
to
confess
whether
he
was
the
Son
of
God
,
or
no
,
he
did
plainly
witness
a
good
confession
,
that
he
is
the
Messiah
,
and
for
that
confession
only
,
and
for
no
other
cause
,
saving
their
own
envy
they
did
condemn
him
to
dye
,
and
rested
not
till
they
had
accomplished
it
.
These
things
being
so
,
it
is
hard
for
us
to
say
,
that
these
are
of
the
number
of
those
that
knew
not
what
they
did
.
But
the
people
for
the
most
part
were
over
perswaded
by
them
,
&
in
their
ignorance
acted
.
Pilate
also
was
ignorant
of
his
Diety
,
though
he
believed
with
an
historical
faith
that
he
was
the
King
of
the
Jews
,
and
had
he
known
his
Deity
,
he
would
not
have
crucifyed
him
,
1
Cor.
2.8
.
So
that
Jesus
Christ
hath
opened
a
dore
of
pardon
to
his
persecutors
.
The
Centurion
that
had
the
command
of
the
watch
that
day
,
and
how
many
more
God
knows
,
did
that
very
day
receive
benefit
of
this
pardon
and
prayer
of
Jesus
Christ
.
The
second
act
of
Jesus
Christ
upon
the
Cross
,
he
doth
with
tender
love
and
care
provide
for
his
widow
mother
,
Joh.
19.25
,
26
,
27.
Now
there
stood
by
the
Cross
of
Jesus
,
his
mother
,
and
his
mothers
sister
,
Mary
the
wife
of
Cleophas
,
and
Mary
Magdalene
.
When
Jesus
therefore
saw
his
mother
,
and
the
Disciple
standing
by
,
whom
he
loved
,
he
saith
unto
his
mother
,
Woman
,
behold
thy
Son
.
Then
saith
he
to
the
Disciple
,
Behold
thy
mother
.
And
from
that
hour
that
Disciple
took
her
unto
his
own
home
.
Where
see
,
1.
The
title
he
giveth
his
mother
,
[
woman
]
which
he
was
wont
to
do
upon
occasion
formerly
Ioh.
2.4
.
which
he
doth
,
not
shewing
any
strangeness
or
disregard
of
her
grief
,
whose
heart
was
now
pierced
as
with
a
sword
,
but
he
did
it
.
1.
To
take
her
heart
off
from
all
carnal
confidence
,
in
her
fleshly
interest
in
Jesus
Christ
:
to
put
her
to
consider
that
her
paps
are
more
blessed
by
her
interest
of
saith
in
Jesus
Christ
,
then
in
giving
him
suck
.
Luk.
11.27.28
.
2.
To
instruct
her
and
us
,
that
though
there
be
use
of
natural
Relations
in
this
life
,
yet
it
is
not
so
in
heaven
.
Math.
22.30
.
We
shall
there
be
as
the
Angels
are
.
Spiritual
weanings
from
creature
confidences
,
are
no
hurt
unto
,
or
hindrances
of
right
natural
affections
.
2.
He
directs
his
mother
to
chuse
an
adopted
son
in
his
room
who
is
now
departing
that
he
may
be
unto
her
in
the
stead
of
her
natural
Son
,
to
doe
all
offices
of
a
Son
unto
her
.
He
saith
to
her
,
Behold
thy
son
,
intimating
to
her
John
that
was
standing
by
her
.
3.
He
instructeth
and
chargeth
John
to
doe
all
offices
of
a
good
Son
unto
her
saying
to
him
,
Behold
thy
mother
.
4.
This
charge
is
set
on
,
because
Jesus
Christ
did
thus
dignifie
him
out
of
special
favour
and
love
.
The
Disciple
whom
be
loved
.
And
therefore
he
might
confide
in
him
in
committing
such
a
trust
and
charge
unto
him
.
5.
The
effect
of
this
act
of
Iesus
Christ
was
,
from
that
hour
he
took
her
into
his
own
Family
,
which
proveth
that
she
was
a
widdow
,
and
had
not
a
family
of
her
own
,
now
her
Son
was
gone
.
When
Ioseph
died
,
or
what
became
of
her
after
this
,
nothing
is
said
The
third
act
of
Iesus
Christ
upon
the
Cross
,
he
taketh
a
mercifull
care
of
the
penitent
Thief
.
Luk.
23.39
,
40
,
41
,
42
,
43.
And
one
of
the
Malefactors
which
were
hanged
,
railed
on
him
,
saying
,
if
thou
be
Christ
,
save
thy self
and
us
.
But
the
other
answering
rebuked
him
,
saying
,
dost
thou
not
fear
God
,
seeing
thou
art
in
the
same
condemnaion
?
And
we
indeed
justly
;
for
we
receive
the
due
reward
of
our
deeds
,
but
this
man
hath
done
nothing
amiss
.
And
he
said
unto
Iesus
,
Lord
remember
me
when
thou
comest
into
thy
Kingdome
.
And
Iesus
said
unto
him
,
verily
I
say
unto
thee
,
To
day
shall
thou
be
with
me
in
Paradice
.
Where
see
,
among
the
Mockers
,
Revilers
,
Railers
against
Iesus
Christ
on
the
cross
,
one
of
the
Theeves
did
as
he
heard
others
doe
,
though
he
was
hanging
on
his
cross
under
the
hand
of
justice
and
Execution
.
Mathew
and
Mark
impute
this
to
both
the
Melefactors
,
because
what
one
in
a
company
doth
,
is
in
usual
custome
imputed
to
all
,
unless
they
bear
witness
against
it
.
And
whether
at
first
or
by
the
way
,
both
of
them
might
be
accessary
,
we
cannot
say
;
but
Luke
is
particular
in
this
history
,
shewing
that
one
of
them
was
a
true
penitent
:
Where
1.
we
see
what
his
ill
words
are
that
are
recorded
,
viz.
if
thou
be
the
Christ
,
save
thy self
and
us
.
wherein
he
vents
his
unbelief
and
hardness
of
heart
,
in
way
of
reproach
.
This
he
doth
when
he
was
dying
,
yea
a
shamefull
death
,
and
that
justly
,
yet
so
ill
minded
is
he
against
Iesus
Christ
.
2.
His
fellow
thief
rebuked
him
,
whereby
he
cleared
himself
from
participation
with
him
in
his
sin
,
which
silence
in
such
a
case
doth
involve
men
in
.
In
which
Rebuke
see
,
1.
Dost
thou
not
fear
God
?
The
words
of
thy
mouth
shew
that
the
fear
of
God
is
not
in
thine
heart
,
therefore
speak
not
so
wickedly
.
2.
He
giveth
a
reason
of
this
Rebuke
and
exhortation
,
because
we
are
condemned
to
dye
as
he
is
,
we
are
in
the
same
condemnation
.
They
are
executing
death
upon
us
,
and
dost
thou
now
vent
the
vileness
of
thine
heart
against
him
that
is
dying
with
us
?
3.
Here
is
the
aggravation
of
this
Reason
,
-
1.
We
are
justly
put
to
death
,
our
sin
deserves
it
.
-
2.
This
man
whom
you
revile
hath
done
nothing
amiss
,
he
is
unjustly
condemned
,
and
will
you
add
Revilings
?
3.
This
penitent
thief
maketh
his
believing
address
and
petition
to
Jesus
Christ
as
they
hung
together
on
their
crosses
,
where
see
,
-
1.
The
holy
divine
title
he
gives
him
by
Faith
,
Lord
.
Great
Faith
!
-
2.
His
Petition
,
Remember
me
when
thou
comest
into
thy
Kingdome
,
hereby
asserting
three
things
,
-
1.
Jesus
Christ
is
a
King
.
-
2.
He
is
going
to
take
possession
of
it
.
-
3.
He
beggeth
to
be
favourably
remembred
there
.
4.
The
gracious
promise
of
Jesus
Christ
to
him
,
-
1.
The
thing
promised
,
to
be
with
me
in
Paradice
.
-
2.
The
confirmation
of
it
to
strengthen
Faith
,
Verily
I
say
unto
thee
.
-
3.
The
time
when
,
This
day
:
the
day
was
ended
,
therefore
a
dying
Soul
is
quickly
with
God
.
We
see
that
their
crosses
stood
near
,
that
they
could
discourse
together
,
as
they
hung
dying
.
We
see
Jesus
Christ
looses
no
opportunity
to
doe
good
to
souls
,
and
converts
this
man
at
the
last
period
of
his
life
.
Who
by
rebuking
faithfully
his
fellows
sin
,
had
faith
and
Repentance
quickned
,
wrought
and
raised
in
his
own
heart
,
and
prayed
for
mercy
,
and
was
eminently
heard
in
what
he
prayed
for
.
He
that
faithfully
rebukes
his
neighbour
,
is
himself
a
penitent
,
or
in
the
ready
way
unto
it
.
A
clear
faith
can
see
through
the
blackest
worldly
clouds
.
Sect.

The
vile
behaviour
of
the
Iews
,
and
others
,
all
the
time
that
Jesus
Christ
was
suffering
upon
the
Cross
THE
first
act
to
be
observed
is
,
the
Executioners
parting
his
Garments
before
his
face
,
in
his
sight
casting
Lots
upon
his
vesture
,
Ioh.
19.23
,
24
Then
the
souldiers
when
they
had
crucified
Iesus
,
took
his
garments
(
and
made
four
parts
,
to
every
souldier
a
part
)
and
also
his
coat
:
Now
the
coat
was
without
seam
,
woven
from
the
top
throughout
.
They
said
therefore
among
themselves
,
Let
us
not
rent
it
,
but
cast
lots
for
it
whose
it
shall
be
:
that
the
Scripture
might
be
fullfilled
which
saith
,
They
parted
my
raiment
among
them
,
and
for
my
vesture
they
did
cast
lots
.
These
things
therefore
the
Souldiers
did
.
All
the
Evangelists
doe
mention
this
fact
,
Iohn
doth
a
little
amplifie
it
,
therefore
I
take
his
words
.
The
actors
w●re
those
souldiers
that
were
his
executioners
.
It
was
done
in
his
s●ght
,
and
may
well
be
numbred
among
the
acts
of
their
contempt
which
they
did
to
grieve
and
afflict
him
.
It
is
an
eminent
accompl●shment
of
a
Prophesie
,
Psal.
22.18
.
which
is
no
small
confirmation
of
the
saith
of
the
Church
,
that
●e
is
the
Messiah
of
whom
David
prophes●ed
.
And
to
make
evident
to
our
faith
,
the
sovereign
Goverment
of
God
over
all
men
,
and
the
signal
care
the
Lord
●ad
over
Iesus
Christ
,
and
how
●e
ordered
every
thing
that
was
done
unto
him
;
and
that
all
things
came
to
pass
according
to
the
holy
and
wise
councel
of
God
.
But
the
principal
History
in
this
Section
,
is
to
shew
the
wicked
behaviour
of
the
Jews
,
all
this
dark
time
of
Jesus
Christ
,
his
hanging
on
the
Cross
.
The
miracudarkness
should
have
terrified
and
calmed
them
,
but
it
was
not
so
.
All
sorts
of
them
did
mock
,
flout
,
insult
,
blaspheme
,
Mathew
,
Mark
and
Luke
do
record
it
,
and
shew
what
every
sort
said
,
and
did
.
1.
The
common
people
that
passed
by
,
and
walked
about
,
and
stood
beholders
,
Math.
27.39
,
40.
and
they
that
passed
by
reviled
him
,
wagging
their
heads
,
and
saying
,
thou
that
destroyest
the
Temple
,
and
buildest
it
again
in
three
dayes
,
save
thy self
,
if
thou
be
the
Son
of
God
,
come
down
from
the
Cross
.
The
manner
of
their
upbraiding
,
sheweth
us
much
unbelief
and
contempt
,
as
in
a
few
words
and
gestures
can
be
expressed
.
The
matter
of
their
upbraiding
was
an
ignorant
reflection
upon
a
false
supposition
.
If
they
had
understood
that
the
body
of
Iesus
was
typified
by
the
Temples
,
and
that
though
they
now
destroy
that
body
of
his
,
yet
on
the
third
day
it
shall
rise
again
,
had
they
I
say
,
understood
this
,
or
had
patience
to
suppress
this
flout
till
the
third
day
,
they
would
have
seen
the
empty
folly
of
it
,
or
might
have
seen
it
.
The
other
flout
,
if
thou
be
the
Son
of
God
,
come
down
from
the
Cross
.
They
tempt
the
Lord
as
the
Devil
did
,
Math.
4.3
.
they
would
have
him
prove
himself
to
be
the
Son
of
God
,
by
such
an
act
as
they
would
prescribe
.
He
had
sufficiently
,
yea
,
abundantly
pro●ed
himself
to
be
the
Son
of
God
,
by
such
proofs
as
the
wisdome
of
God
saw
fit
,
but
all
that
would
not
serve
their
turn
,
they
believed
not
,
therefore
they
would
prescribe
a
signe
,
and
that
was
to
come
down
off
the
Cross
,
&
not
suffer
death
,
a
devilish
motion
and
ignorant
,
had
Jesus
come
down
from
the
cross
and
not
suffered
death
,
the
whole
work
of
the
salvation
of
man
had
been
overthrown
.
So
vain
,
carnal
,
ignorant
,
and
devilish
were
they
in
their
mockings
of
our
Lord
Jesus
upon
the
Cross
.
2.
The
second
sort
of
mockers
were
the
chief
Priests
,
Scribes
,
and
Chieftains
among
them
,
their
mockeries
are
recorded
also
,
Math.
27.41
,
42
,
43.
likewise
also
the
chief
Priests
mocking
him
,
with
the
Scribes
and
Elders
,
said
,
he
saved
others
,
himself
he
cannot
save
,
if
he
be
the
King
of
the
Jews
let
him
now
come
down
from
the
Cross
,
and
we
will
believe
him
.
he
trusted
in
God
,
let
him
deliver
him
now
if
he
will
have
him
,
for
he
said
,
I
am
the
Son
of
God
.
These
upbraidings
are
deeper
,
and
more
blasphemous
,
yet
ignorant
and
over
hasty
gloryings
over
him
.
1.
It
is
a
great
boast
,
that
though
he
had
saved
others
many
wayes
,
out
of
many
perils
,
and
out
of
the
hands
of
Devils
,
yet
he
was
not
able
to
save
himself
out
of
their
hands
,
O
who
are
you
great
Grandees
!
out
of
whos●
han●s
Jesus
Chri●t
cannot
deliver
himself
?
alas
for
you
,
had
you
suppressed
this
boast
but
till
the
morning
after
your
Sabbath
,
you
might
have
seen
the
vanity
thereof
,
and
that
he
was
able
to
deliver
himself
out
of
your
hands
,
and
greater
then
yours
also
,
even
out
of
the
hands
of
death
and
Devils
too
.
2.
Jesus
had
manifested
himself
to
be
the
Messiah
,
the
King
of
Israel
,
by
divine
and
infallible
proofs
,
but
you
would
not
believe
,
but
you
can
prescribe
to
Jesus
Christ
a
better
way
to
prove
himself
to
be
the
King
and
Saviour
of
Israel
,
and
that
is
by
coming
down
of
the
Cross
,
and
by
that
proof
you
would
believe
.
Proud
man
will
not
be
directed
by
God
,
unless
man
may
prescribe
to
God
the
way
,
they
will
not
believe
;
in
their
own
way
they
will
.
Ah
weak
and
proud
dust
!
Rom.

who
hath
known
the
mind
of
the
Lord
,
who
hath
been
his
Counsellour
?
who
hath
first
given
unto
him
,
and
it
shall
be
recompenced
to
him
?
Faith
is
the
operation
of
God
not
of
man
,
Faith
is
not
in
mans
power
to
create
,
nor
are
the
means
of
begetting
it
in
the
hands
of
man
.
These
men
shew
what
utter
strangers
they
were
to
saith
.
3.
They
say
,
he
trusted
in
God
,
and
said
,
I
am
the
Son
of
God
,
let
God
take
him
,
now
if
he
will
have
him
.
This
is
to
blaspheme
not
only
the
Son
of
God
,
but
also
the
Father
.
Do
you
think
that
you
have
him
so
fast
in
your
hands
,
that
God
cannot
deliver
him
out
of
your
hands
,
had
you
patience
to
have
suppressed
this
blasphemy
but
till
the
morning
of
the
first
day
,
you
might
have
been
prevented
of
this
sin
,
for
you
might
have
seen
him
mightily
proved
to
be
the
Son
of
God
by
his
Resurrection
,
and
that
God
hath
power
to
deliver
him
out
of
your
hands
,
and
greater
then
yours
too
.
3.
The
third
sort
of
mockers
were
the
Souldiers
,
Luk.
23.36
,
37.
the
Souldiers
also
mocked
him
,
coming
to
him
,
and
offering
him
vineger
,
and
saying
,
if
thou
be
the
King
of
Israel
save
thy self
.
Touching
their
giving
him
vineger
,
we
see
by
this
,
it
was
no
act
of
favour
,
but
such
as
was
accompanied
with
mocks
,
of
this
more
hereafter
.
Little
did
these
men
know
that
his
dying
upon
the
Cross
was
the
way
appointed
by
God
for
the
salvation
both
of
Jew
and
Gentile
.
4.
The
fourth
and
last
sort
of
mockers
instanced
in
the
Text
,
were
the
Theevs
,
Math.

.
but
of
this
part
of
the
History
we
have
already
spoken
.
CAP.

.
The
last
part
of
the
Sufferings
of
Jesus
Christ
upon
the
Cross
.
THe
whole
life
of
Jesus
Christ
was
a
suffering
life
,
the
first
and
the
last
parts
of
his
time
in
this
world
were
fullest
of
sufferings
.
the
last
and
greatest
of
his
sufferings
were
on
the
Cross
,
Phil.
2.8
.
obedient
to
the
death
,
even
death
upon
the
Cross
,
here
all
his
bitter
sufferings
met
upon
him
,
upon
the
Cross
he
fulfilled
to
answer
and
satisfie
all
that
was
to
be
said
by
the
Law
against
us
,
Col.
2.14
,
15.
blotting
out
the
hand
writing
of
Ordinances
that
was
against
us
,
which
was
contrary
to
us
,
and
took
it
out
of
the
way
,
nailing
it
to
his
Cross
,
and
having
spoyled
Principalities
and
powers
,
he
made
a
shew
of
them
openly
,
tryumphing
over
them
in
it
,
viz
,
in
the
work
that
he
did
accomplish
on
the
Cross
,
in
giving
full
satisfaction
to
the
Law
.
The
full
stream
of
his
sufferings
fell
on
him
,
on
the
Cross
.
Jesus
Christ
did
both
suffer
and
agonize
before
the
Cross
,
as
appeareth
,
Luk.
12.50
.
I
have
a
Baptisme
to
be
baptized
with
,
and
how
am
I
streightned

accomplished

is
my
Soul

,
in
the
garden

had
a
great
Soul
Agony
,
Luk.
22.

his
body
was
not
yet
in
a
suffering
condition
,
only
by
way
of
simpathy
with
his
agonizing
Soul
,
which
so
wrought
on
him
as
that
he
swet
drops
like
blood
.
But
on
the
Cross
all
kind
of
sufferings
met
together
;
the
whole
stream
of
wrath
against
sin
fell
upon
him
,
and
he
was
under
it
altogether
.
-
1
His
body
suffered
all
those
cruel
torments
&
wrackings
before
mentioned
.
-
2.
His
mind
suffered
all
the
grief
they
could
afflict
him
withal
,
by
mocks
,
reproaches
,
blasphemies
.
-
3.
His
Soul
suffered
the
full
cup
of
the
Justice
of
the
Law
,
and
desert
of
sin
,
His
great
sufferings
upon
the
Cross
,
he
underwent
in
his
near
three
hours
silence
,
for
after
he
had
forgiven
his
persecu
ors
,
●nd
provided
for
the
comfort
of
his
widdow
mother
,
and
took
care
of
the
penitent
Thief
,
he
did
with
holy
patience
and
silence
suffer
all
that
fell
upon
him
until
the
ninth
hour
,
and
then
spake
such
words
as
expressed
what
he
was
doing
and
suffering
all
this
while
.
The
sense
of
cruel
pain
that
his
body
was
in
all
this
while
may
in
a
small
measure
be
apprehended
by
what
hath
been
said
in
the
particular
Tortures
.
The
sufferings
of
his
mind
by
the
reproaches
,
mocks
,
blasphemies
,
taunts
,
which
he
heard
and
saw
all
this
while
of
his
silence
,
these
were
a
bitter
part
of
his
suffering
as
it
is
expressed
in
the
Prophesy
,
Psal.
69.20
.
reproach
hath
broken
my
heart
,
and
I
am
full
of
heaviness
,
and
I
lookod
for
some
to
take
pitty
,
but
there
was
none
,
&
comforters
but
found
none
,
vineger
and
gall
was
all
that
the
creatures
afford
him
,
ver.
21.
The
causes
of
this
affliction
of
his
mind
are
expressed
,
ver.
19.
by
three
words
,
reproach
,
shame
and
dishonour
,
which
are
said
to
have
this
effect
upon
him
,
reproach
hath
broken
my
heart
,
an
heart
wound
is
deeper
and
more
terrible
then
a
bodily
wound
,
ungrateful
men
pierced
and
wounded
his
heart
,
when
he
was
dying
for
them
.
Ovile
ingratitude
,
O
infinite
patience
and
pitty
!
the
tongues
of
men
did
pierce
Jesus
Christ
to
the
heart
,
as
he
hung
upon
the
Cross
,
they
so
filled
his
heart
with
heaviness
,
that
there
was
no
room
for
comfort
.
When
he
looked
for
some
to
pitty
,
and
bemoan
him
,
or
help
him
,
but
there
was
none
that
had
power
to
help
him
,
his
mother
and
John
stood
by
,
and
many
more
no
doubt
,
but
alas
they
could
not
help
him
,
be

Isai

There
is
a
threefold
wounding
of
the
heart
by
words
.
1.
A
penitential
piercing
of
the
heart
by
words
of
conviction
.

this
is
a
blessed
gospel

wrathfull
cutting

heart

this
is
a
sinfull
wound
.
But
3.
There
is
a
sorrowfull
piercing
of
the
heart
by
words
of
reproach
,
and
this
was
the
heart-breaking
sorrow
that
Jesus
Christ
suffered
upon
the
Cross
.
Object
.
But
can
the
words
of
a
man
so
pierce
the
innocent
heart
of
Jesus
Christ
?
Answ.
Jesus
Christ
stood
in
the
stead
of
those
that
were
guilty
,
and
therefore
divine
justice
set
them
home
to
his
heart
to
the
uttermost
.
None
can
tell
the
force
of
words
till
he
have
experienced
the
same
.
Words
are
the
means
whereby
Souls
have
converse
and
communion
.
Words
carry
the
mind
,
heart
,
judgement
,
notion
,
affection
,
passion
of
one
party
to
another
.
If
we
use
Gods
words
,
and
apply
them
right
,
they
both
wound
and
heal
,
and
are
most
wholsome
.
But
they
were
mens
words
that
broke
the
heart
of
Iesus
Christ
.
When
words
flow
from
anger
,
envy
,
hatred
wrath
,
revenge
,
such
words
are
full
of
the
breath
and
spirit
of
Satan
and
make
cruel
wounds
upon
the
heart
:
and
such
wounds
were
made
in
the
heart
of
Iesus
Christ
.
Some
sorts
of
wounding
words
did
especially
pierce
the
heart
of
Iesus
Christ
,
1.
When
they
upbraided
him
,
Where
is
thy
God
?
Psal.
42.3
,
4.
Mat.
27.45
Psal.
22.7

2.
When
they
forge
a
Lye
against
him
,
and
impose
it
upon
him
,
Psal.
119.69
.
3.
Vngratefull
saucy
words
against
him
that
is
beneficent
,
Ioh.

.
Many
good
works
have
I
done

for
which
of

do
you
stone

?

Among
ungratefull

to
be
wondered
at

they
are

part

the
Sufferings
of
Iesus
Christ

he
dyed

OVT
of
all
these
texts
together
,
we
may
gather
these
two
particulars
.
1.
The
history
of
the
three
hours
darkness
,
which
was
the
time
,
most
of
it
of
Jesus
Christ
his
silence
,
wherein
his
soul
did
agonize
under
the
punishment
of
our
sin
,
which
punishment
was
extended
to
the
uttermost
,
even
untill
justice
was
fully
satistied
.
2.
What
was
said
and
done
and
acted
,
at
the
end
of
the
6t
:
hour
,
at
the
beginning
of
the
ninth
hour
,
viz.
1.
The
first
word
which
Jesus
Christ
spake
in
terrible
manner
was
,
Eli
,
Eli
,
lamasabachtani
.
2.
The
second
word
which
Jesus
Christ
spake
was
,
I
thirst
.
Both
these
words
were
spoken
by
him
soon
after
each
other
,
both
were
uttered
before
they
gave
him
vinegar
and
gall
:
which
act
Mathew
and
Mark
relate
to
be
done
upon
his
speaking
the
first
word
.
Iohn
relates
it
to
be
done
upon
his
speaking
the
second
word
.
Therefore
both
those
words
were
spoken
before
that
act
was
done
.
The
effect
of
both
these
words
upon
the
by-standers
was
,
-
Some
ran
,
took
a
spung
,
gave
him
galled
vinegar
,
of
which
he
tasted
.
-
Others
mistook
him
;
and
said
,
he
calleth
to
Elias
to
deliver
him
.
3.
The
third
word
Iesus
Christ
spake
when
he
had
tasted
the
vinegar
,
was
,
It
is
finished
.
4.
The
fourth
and
last
dying
word
which
Jesus
Christ
spake
,
was
,
Into
thy
hands
I
commit
my
Spirit
,
and
with
that
word
breathed
out
his
Soul
.
Sundry
remarkable
effects
of
his
death
,
of
which
in
their
place
.
In
this
silent
agony
of
Jesus
Christ
upon
the
cross
,
he
suffered
all
the
punishment
and
curse
which
sin
hath
brought
upon
man
,
Gal.
3.13
.
he
was
made
a
curse
for
us
,
viz.
by
suffering
all
the
punishment
of
the
curse
,
2
Cor.
5.21
.
He
was
made
sin
for
us
,
viz.
an
Offering
to
bear
the
guilt
and
punishment
of
sin
,
though
he
knew
not
sin
,
so
as
to
doe
it

hath
satisfied
justice
for
the
first
sin
of
Adam
,
and
for
all
sin
that
hath
followed
from
the
same
.
He
hath
taken
away
the
condemning
power
of
sin
,
by
the
authority
of
the
Law
,
and
brought
it
under
another
law
or
Covenant
,
viz.
of
Grace
.
The
first
Covenant
of
works
doth
not
over-rule
sin
,
in
its
condemning
power
;
but
Jesus
Christ
doth
over-rule
it
by
the
New
Covenant
,
under
which
he
doth
rule
all
the
Elect
of
God
.
And
that
he
might
accomplish
all
this
,
he
hath
suffered
all
the
essential
punishment
of
the
curse
,
viz.
all
sinless
punishment
,
all
that
the
justice
of
the
law
requireth
,
&
with
his
sufferings
justice
was
fully
satisfied
,
and
all
this
he
suffered
for
us
.

&c.
There
be
some
accidental
parts
and
points
of
punishment
,
which
fall
upon
man
but
cannot
fall
upon
Iesus
Christ
,
which
I
will
touch
in
a
few
instances
.
Instance
1.
Eternity
of
punishment
befals
man
,
Math.
25.41
,

Everlasting
fire
,
Everlasting
punishment
,

,
48.
the
worm
dyeth
not
,
nor
is
the
fire
quenched
.
But
this
is
so
,
because
of
the
inability
of
a
finite
Creature
to
satisfie
infinite
justice
.
But
Jesus
Christ
is
God-man
,
and
therefore
he
is
able
to
satisfie
infinite
justice
in
a
finite
time
,
because
he
is
an
infinite
person
,
and
therefore
his
sufferings
are
of
infinite
value
,
his
sufferings
make
up
in
value
,
what
they
be
short
in
time
of
duration
.
He
su●fered
infinite
punishment
,
wrath
and
curse
,
in
a
finite
short
time
.
As
the
first
Adam
if
he
had
stood
,
though
a
finite
person
,
should
have
finished
perfect
active
obedience
to
the
Law
,
in
a
finite
time
,
because
he
was
a
person
fitly
qualified
by
God
,
for
such
a
service
,
being
furnished
with
the
perfect
image
of
God
.
So
the
second
Adam
did
in
a
finite
time
finish
all
obedience
to
the
Law
,
both
active
and
pa●sive
,
and
fulfilled
our
Covenant
of
works
,
being
an
infinite
person
,
and
infinitely
qualified
for
that
work
,
having
the
Spirit
without
measure
,
an
infinite
person
suffered
&
obeyed
satisfactorily
,
in
a
finite
time
,
he
had
Gods
image
perfectly
,
and
therefore
perfectly
fitted
and
qualified
for
that
great
work
.
Thirty
three
years
and
an
half
were
requisite
,
wherein
Jesus
Christ
might
perform
and
fulfil
perfect
obedience
to
the
Law
,
both
active
and
passive
;
and
perform
all
that
which
Justice
did
require
at
the
hand
of
man
.
The
middle
part
of
his
pilgrimage
had
less
of
passive
,
and
more
exercised
in
active
obedience
,
the
beginning
and
end
of
his
life
were
more
filled
with
sufferings
;
though
every
act
of
Jesus
Christ
had
both
active
and
passive
obedience
in
it
,
yet
one
,
sometimes
more
illustrious
then
the
other
.
From
his
entrance
into
the
garden
,
till
he
dyed
,
was
about
twenty
hours
,
or
near
so
much
,
and
that
was
the
chiefest
time
of
his
suffering
Torment
;
but
his
humiliation
continued
his
whole
life
through
.
And
when
Jesus
Christ
did
dye
,
if
he
had
dyed
eternally
,
then
d
at
h
had
overcome
him
.
But
he
hath
overcome
death
,
and
saw
not
corruption
though
he
dyed
,
because
he
rose
again
the
third
day
.
Instance
2.
The
place
of
mans
suffering
Torment
is
Hell
,
Luk.
16.23
.
and
in
Hell
he
lift
up
his
eyes
,
being
in
Torment
.
But
Jesus
Christ
suffered
all
his
sufferings
on
Earth
,
how
then
did
he
suffer
all
the
punishment
due
to
man
?
Answ.
There
is
a
penal
Hell
,
and
local
Hell
,
penal
hell
hath
two
branche
-
seperation
from
God
,
-
sense
of
Torment
.

depart
from
me
ye
cursed
▪
that
is
the
punishment
of
loss
,
into
Everlasting
fire
,
that
is
punishment
o●
sense
.
And
wheresoever
these
two
are
inflicted
,
there
is
penal
hell
,
though
it
be
not
in
local
Hell
.
These
two
kinds
of
punishment
are
chiefly
inflicted
on
the
damned
,
in
local
Hell
,
sometimes
a
good
measure
of
it
in
this
life
.
But
on
Jesus
Christ
all
was
inflicted
on
Earth
,
where
sin
is
committed
.
And
great
reasons
might
be
offered
why
it
must
be
so
.
2.
The
place
of
punishment
is
not
of
the
Essence
,
or
an
Essential
part
of
the
punishment
of
sin
;
the
judge
may
chuse
and
appoint
the
place
,
where
the
punishment
shall
be
inflicted
and
executed
.
It
was
an
act
of
Gods
infinite
wisdome
to
appoint
and
order
that
Jesus
Christ
should
suffer
the
punishment
of
sin
in
this
world
among
men
,
it
is
most
agreeable
to
the
Covenant
of
works
that
it
should
be
so
;
it
is
great
love
to
his
Elect
that
it
is
so
,
it
is
not
yet
revealed
where
the
place
of
Hell
is
,
or
shall
be
.
Some
great
divines
have
thought
,
that
after
the
day
of
Judgement
,
the
Earth
shall
be
the
place
of
Hell
,
that
the
place
of
committing
sin
,
shall
be
the
place
of
punishing
of
it
.
Sure
it
was
so
with
Jesus
Christ
,
he
suffered
the
punishment
of
sin
on
Earth
,
where
sin
was
committed
.
Instance
3.
It
is
a
great
part
of
the
punishment
of
sin
,
inflicted
on
man
,
that
he
is
dead
in
sin
,
Eph.
2.1
,
5.
and
Gen.
2.17
.
one
part
of
this
dying
,
is
to
be
dead
in
sin
.
But
this
death
Jesus
Christ
suffered
not
,
how
then
did
he
suffer
all
the
punishment
of
sin
?
Answ.
1.
To
be
dead
in
sin
is
personal
defilement
,
by
the
loss
of
Gods
image
,
this
could
not
befal
Jesus
Christ
,
God
hath
excepted
sin
,
Heb.
4.15
.
Jesus
Christ
his
humane
nature
was
like
unto
us
in
all
things
,
except
sin
,
he
could
not
sin
,
therefore
he
could
not
be
dead
in
sin
,
he
was
every
way
fitted
to
be
a
sacrifice
for
sin
,
and
he
did
dye
for
sin
without
any
defilement
by
it
.
He
dyed
for
s●n
to
satisfie
justice
,
if
he
had
dyed
in
sin
,
he
should
have
offended
Justice
thereby
,
and
then
how
should
he
have
satisfied
Justice
.
The
Lamb
of
God
,
that
was
to
be
a
sacrifice
for
sin
,
was
to
be
spotless
and
without
blemish
,
had
he
dyed
in
sin
,
he
should
have
been
a
spotted
sacrifice
,
and
unaccepted
.
2.
That
which
Jesus
Christ
could
neither
be
,
do
,
nor
suff●r
without
sin
,
that
he
neither
was
,
did
,
nor
suffered
.
The
Lamb
that
suffered
for
sin
,
to
take
it
away
,
must
himself
be
without
sin
,
and
must
suffer
only
that
which
he
is
capable
to
suffer
without
sin
.
To
satisfie
justice
for
sin
,
by
dying
for
sin
,
that
was
the
work
which
Jesus
Christ
performed
,
and
Justice
was
satisfied
with
it
.
3.
To
be
dead
in
sin
,
final
separation
from
God
,
desperation
,
&c.
n●ither
the
excellency
of
his
person
,
nor
his
glorious
production
,
nor
the
quality
of
his
Office
,
nor
the
work
which
he
had
undertaken
,
could
admit
any
such
thing
to
befal
him
.
But
all
the
Essential
punishment
due
to
the
sin
of
man
,
he
was
willing
to
suffer
to
the
utmost
,
Heb.
10.5
.
and
did
so
,
to
the
full
satisfaction
of
Justice
.
Justice
required
that
he
should
dye
;
but
did
not
require
that
he
should
sin
,
nor
did
Iustice
require
that
he
should
dye
eternally
;
if
he
have
once
paid
the
debt
of
death
,
Iustice
was
satisfied
,
and
gave
him
a
discharge
,
that
he
might
rise
a
Conqueror
.
4.
There
have
been
four
wayes
of
the
production
of
man
.
1.
Adam
was
created
by
God
,
out
of
the
dust
,
and
he
was
made
spotless
.
2dly
.
Eve
was
created
by
God
out
of
the
rib
of
man
,
and
she
was
made
spotless
,
though
the
weaker
vessel
.
3.
All
the
stock
of
mankind
are
produced
by
the
conjunction
of
man
and
woman
,
and
all
defiled
with
sin
.
4.
Iesus
Christ
was
produced
of
a
woman
without
man
,
by
the
power
of
the
Holy
Ghost
,
and
he
is
spotless
,
full
of
grace
and
truth
,
and
hereby
was
a
capable
subject
to
have
sin
imputed
to
him
,
and
to
be
made
a
sacrifice
to
God
for
sin
.
Iesus
Christ
suffered
all
sinless
punishment
.
But
when
sin
is
punished
with
sin
,
that
punishment
Iesus
Christ
is
uncapable
to
suffer
,
nor
is
it
a
necessary
kind
of
punishment
,
to
be
suffered
in
way
of
satisfaction
for
sin
.
Because
it
is
secondary
,
a
consequent
of
sin
.
Instance
4.
Man
is
punished
with
total
and
final
separation
from
God
,
and
despair
.
Iesus
Christ
was
not
so
punished
.
Answ.
Jesus
Christ
suffered
dereliction
,
and
separation
from
God
,
(
as
we
shall
anon
see
)
to
the
utmost
that
was
possible
and
necessary
,
for
the
satisfaction
of
Justice
,
but
total
and
final
was
neither
necessary
nor
possible
;
and
had
it
been
so
,
then
sin
and
death
had
overcome
him
.
But
he
hath
overcome
sin
and
death
,
and
satisfied
justice
,
which
could
not
have
been
,
if
he
had
totally
and
finally
sunk
under
it
.

Touching
the
first
word
Jesus
Christ
spake
about
the
ninth
hour
.
THe
Essential
parts
of
the
sinless
punishment
of
sin
,
which
Jesus
Christ
sufffered
,
are
two
,
the
punishment
of
loss
,
and
the
punishment
of
sense
,
which
appeareth
,
Math.
25.41
,
46.
depart
ye
cursed
into
Everlasting
fire
.
The
punishment
of
loss
firstly
,
chiefly
falleth
upon
the
Soul
,
which
nextly
hath
communion
with
God
,
and
the
body
herein
suffereth
secondarily
,
by
participation
,
and
sympathy
with
the
Soul
,
as
it
was
in
the
garden
,
where
the
body
was
under
no
sense
of
punishment
saving
by
participation
with
the
Soul
,
and
that
was
so
deep
,
that
it
made
him
sweat
drops
like
blood
abundantly
.
So
that
the
punishment
of
loss
is
a
Soul
Agony
.
The
punishment
of
sense
doth
firstly
,
nextly
fall
upon
the
body
,
and
reacheth
to
the
Soul
secondarily
,
by
its
participation
with
the
body
.
The
efficacy
of
both
these
together
met
upon
Jesus
Christ
,
when
he
was
upon
the
Cross
,
to
the
uttermost
extremity
.
First
,
the
punishment
of
loss
,
desertion
,
and
dereliction
of
God
fell
upon
him
,
and
he
conflicted
with
it
in
his
three
hours
silence
.
The
issue
,
up-shot
,
last
stroak
,
and
finishing
whereof
,
Jesus
Christ
uttered
and
expressed
in
that
exclamatory
,
roaring
,
expostulation
,
Eli
,
Eli
,
lamasabachthani
.
I
call
it
exclamatory
,
because
the
Evangelists
so
express
it
,
he
cryed
out
with
a
great
voice
,
I
call
it
roaring
,
because
the
Prophesy
so
calleth
it
,
Psal.
22.1
.
the
voice
of
my
roaring
,
when
he
spake
these
very
words
.
The
original
words
are
more
full
I
call
it
expostulation
,
because
the
words
are
expostulatory
,
why
hast
thou
forsaken
me
?
for
opening
this
,
here
be
four
considerations
.
1.
The
question
springeth
not
out
of
doubting
,
or
not
knowing
the
cause
of
his
sufferings
,
and
of
Gods
dereliction
and
forsaking
of
him
,
as
if
some
strange
and
unlooked
for
matter
had
befallen
him
.
Far
be
it
from
us
to
think
so
!
Jesus
Christ
knew
that
he
was
now
under
the
curse
of
the
Law
,
under
the
execution
of
Justice
,
under
the
wrath
of
God
as
our
Surety
.
There
be
divers
kinds
of
Rhetorical
questions
,
in
all
discourses
and
writings
,
and
many
in
the
Scriptures
,
see
a
tast
,
if
any
please
to
turn
to
,
1
Pet.
4.17
,
18.
Rom.
8.35
.
1
Cor.
12.29
,
30.
Psal.
2.1
.
and
a
thousand
more
.
These
are
Rhetorical
questions
to
express
in
a
word
some
great
matter
,
that
would
require
many
words
to
express
it
at
large
,
nay
,
more
then
can
be
expressed
or
conceived
.
Such
is
this
expostulatory
question
of
Jesus
Christ
,
when
he
was
in
the
depths
of
misery
,
why
hast
thou
forsaken
me
?
to
express
the
extream
dolor
and
bitter
sense
that
he
had
of
the
Fathers
dereliction
of
him
,
his
Fathers
forsaking
him
was
the
bitterest
cup
that
ever
he
tasted
.
He
tasted
the
vinegar
cup
of
death
,
but
one
drop
of
this
is
more
bitter
then
all
their
gall
&
vinegar
;
to
teach
man
what
a
dreadful
thing
it
is
to
be
seperated
from
God
and
to
assure
us
that
he
did
bitterly
experience
what
it
is
:
it
is
penal
Hell
.
This
question
is
to
express
the
uttermost
and
deepest
degree
of
desertion
,
next
unto
desperation
,
Psal.
22.11
.
trouble
and
anguish
,
and
none
to
help
.
It
is
to
express
,
that
it
is
infinitely
more
deep
then
humane
nature
could
have
born
,
had
it
not
been
supported
by
the
divine
nature
,
unto
which
he
was
p●rsonally
and
inseparably
united
,
he
hung
over
,
and
looked
down
into
the
bottomless
gulf
of
seperation
from
God
.
This
desertion
was
not
total
,
nor
final
,
neither
could
it
be
so
,
nor
did
it
need
to
be
so
,
because
Justice
was
infinitely
satisfied
with
that
measure
that
it
was
.
But
it
was
to
the
uttermost
degree
next
unto
total
,
so
much
as
it
could
be
,
or
needed
to
be
.
2.
The
second
consideration
,
he
doubles
his
out-cry
with
a
claiming
and
catching
hold
on
his
Interest
in
God
,
saying
,
Eli
,
Eli
,
my
God
,
my
God
,
like
a
man
sinking
into
the
bottomless
deeps
of
loss
and
desparation
.
The
words
hold
forth
such
a
frame
of
heart
,
which
is
so
expressed
in
the
Prophesie
,
Psal.
69.2
.
I
sink
in
deep
mire
where
there
is
no
standing
,
I
am
come
into
deep
waters
,
where
the
flouds
overflow
me
,
O
m●
God
help
me
.
A
sinking
man
will
catch
hold
on
a
thread
or
line
of
interest
to
hold
by
:
For
his
interest
in
God
,
neither
did
,
nor
could
fail
his
humane
nature
,
to
a
total
sinking
.
The
means
he
used
to
claim
and
hold
his
interest
was
,
strong
cryes
and
Prayers
;
My
God
,
My
God
,
Heb.
5.7
.
who
in
the
dayes
of
his
flesh
when
he
had
offered
up
Prayers
and
supplications
,
with
strong
crying
and
tears
unto
him
that
was
able
to
save
him
from
death
,
and
was
heard
in
that
he
feared
.
The
full
streames
of
vindictive
justice
were
so
inflicted
upon
him
,
that
it
almost
quenched
and
drowned
the
sight
and
sence
of
his
interest
in
God
,
therefore
he
so
earnestly
catcheth
at
it
.
3.
The
third
consideration
is
that
the
interrogation
is
partly
supplicatory
unto
his
God
;
to
whom
he
speaketh
as
if
he
should
have
said
,
wilt
thou
not
help
me
,
O
my
God
?
Why
hast
thou
forsaken
?
O
my
God
,
help
me
!
So
it
is
expressed
in
the
Prophesie
Psal.
69.1
,
14
,
15.
Save
me
O
God
for
the
waters
are
come
in
unto
my
soul
:
deliver
me
out
of
the
mire
and
let
me
not
sink
,
let
me
be
delivered
out
of
the
deep
waters
.
Let
not
the
water
floods
overflow
me
,
neither
let
the
deep
swallow
me
up
,
and
let
not
the
pit
shut
her
mouth
upon
me
.
Distress
and
suffering
will
teach
Rhetorick
to
utter
pathetical
expressions
to
express
the
passion
of
the
sufferer
,
and
to
move
the
compassion
of
the
Spectators
.
God
suffered
his
humane
nature
to
sink
to
the
uttermost
,
even
to
the
next
step
and
degree
unto
perdition
.
And
this
maketh
him
to
cry
out
,
Why
d●st
thou
delay
to
help
me
?
O
I
am
almost
gone
.
Psal.
40.13
.
Be
pleased
O
Lord
to
deliver
me
,
O
Lord
make
hast
to
help
me
.
Psal.
22.19
.
Be
not
thou
far
from
me
O
Lord
,
O
my
Strength
hast
to
help
me
.
4.
Consider
,
this
was
the
last
act
,
and
lowest
step
of
his
desertion
;
for
now
Justice
was
satisfied
as
to
this
part
of
the
punishment
of
sin
,
Heb.
5.7
.
He
was
heard
in
that
he
feared
.
Justice
now
turned
the
soule
,
and
released
the
rigor
of
his
execution
.
The
divine
nature
upheld
him
:
the
father
heard
and
relieved
him
.
He
finished
his
soul
Agony
,
as
himself
who
felt
it
doth
express
.
Ioh.
19.28
.
Iesus
knowing
that
all
things
were
accomplished
,
viz.
in
this
point
or
part
of
the
punishment
of
loss
:
as
in
the
garden
agony
he
had
interims
,
that
humane
nature
might
not
be
oppressed
all
at
once
:
so
was
it
on
the
cross
,
he
had
an
intermission
,
a
cessation
of
this
part
of
the
punishment
of
sin
,
which
indeed
was
the
greatest
,
that
he
might
attend
unto
the
punishment
of
sense
,
which
lay
upon
his
body
;
which
though
it
ceased
not
till
it
had
killed
him
(
as
will
anon
appear
)
yet
he
dyed
in
a
more
calme
and
sedate
frame
of
Spirit
,
seeing
his
Fathers
face
smiled
on
him
again
.
Wonderful
instructions

4.
The
second
word
which
Jesus
Christ
spake
about
the
ninth
hour
.
JOh.
19.28
.
Jesus
knowing
that
all
things
were
accomplished
,
that
the
Scripture
might
be
fulfilled
,
saith
,
I
thirst
.
This
is
the
second
word
which
Jesus
Christ
spake
after
his
three
hours
silent
Agony
,
here
be
two
motives
that
moved
our
Lord
to
speak
this
word
.
1.
Knowing
that
all
things
were
accomplished
,
in
that
which
was
the
first
and
chief
part
of
his
suffering
,
in
the
punishment
of
loss
,
in
his
Soul
Agony
;
therefore
now
he
gave
chief
attendance
to
his
suffering
of
the
punishment
of
sense
,
which
firstly
was
inflicted
,
and
lay
upon
his
body
,
and
is
aptly
,
eminently
expressed
in
this
word
of
sense
,
I
thirst
.
2.
The
second
motive
to
this
expression
is
,
that
the
Scripture
might
be
fulfilled
,
viz.
Psal.
69.21
.
where
he
doth
complain
of
the
bitterness
of
the
punishment
of
sense
,
under
those
two
natural
instances
of
hunger
and
thirst
,
and
the
bitterness
of
all
the
relief
that
man
afforded
him
,
it
was
nothing
but
gall
and
vinegar
.
In
this
word
I
thirst
,
he
speaketh
like
a
Conquerour
,
that
cometh
off
a
Conquerour
from
a
sore
battail
with
a
wonderful
victory
,
yet
his
nature
so
spent
with
thirst
,
which
is
caused
by
the
violence
and
extremity
of
the
battail
,
and
by
wounds
deep
and
great
received
in
the
battail
,
that
he
is
ready
to
dye
with
the
sense
of
his
fainting
nature
;
which
deadly
and
extream
sense
of
dying
pain
,
maketh
him
cry
out
I
thirst
.
A
like
example
of
this
painful
issue
of
a
glorious
victory
and
conquest
,
we
see
in
Sampson
,
Judg.
16.18
,
19.
1.
The
Conquerour
slew
a
thousand
of
his
Enemies
with
the
jaw
bone
of
an●
Ass
,
never
man
had
the
like
victory
.
2.
He
was
so
spent
in
the
fight
that
he
was
ready
to
dye
for
thirst
.
3.
Here
was
the
difference
betwixt
Jesus
Christ
and
Sampson
,
Sampson
was
relieved
by
God
,
and
revived
.
Jesus
Christ
had
no
relief
,
save
what
his
Enemies
gave
him
,
and
that
was
nothing
but
gall
and
vinegar
,
and
so
he
dyed
.
The
first
word
Jesus
spake
,
held
forth
and
expressed
the
bitterness
of
the
punishment
of
loss
,
which
is
the
first
and
chief
part
of
the
punishment
of
sin
.
The
second
word
doth
hold
forth
and
express
the
bitterness
of
the
punishment
of
sense
,
which
is
the
second
part
of
the
punishment
of
sin
.
Jesus
Christ
felt
such
extremity
of
pain
and
grief
in
this
last
Agony
,
that
his
humane
nature
was
ready
to
sink
and
dye
,
for
want
of
some
relief
,
and
therefore
cryed
out
I
thirst
,
Isai.
53.5
.
he
was
wounded
for
our
transgressions
,
he
was
bruised
for
our
iniquities
,
the
chastisement
of
our
peace
was
upon
him
,
and
with
his
stripes
we
are
healed
.
By
this
one
word
,
I
thirst
,
Jesus
Christ
sheweth
that
he
suffered
the
punishment
of
sense
,
unto
the
uttermo●t
extremity
,
even
the
full
desert
of
sin
:
in
explication
of
it
I
shall
propose
six
propositions
.
Prop.
1.
The
punishment
of
loss
fell
firstly
on
his
Soul
,
on
his
body
secondarily
,
by
participation
,
because
so
is
our
Communion
with
God
,
firstly
,
the
Soul
hath
communion
with
him
,
the
body
secondarily
,
and
as
Communion
with
God
is
acted
,
so
seperation
from
God
in
way
of
punishment
is
inflicted
and
felt
,
by
a
spiritual
sense
.
The
punishment
of
sense
falleth
firstly
on
the
body
,
and
reacheth
the
Soul
secondarily
by
participation
,
therefore
the
torment
of
sense
,
and
the
sense
of
his
torment
is
fitly
expressed
by
this
word
of
craving
relief
for
his
fainting
body
.
Prop.
2.
Water
,
moisture
is
the
chief
and
greatest
part
of
aliment
and
sustenance
of
the
body
,
and
therefore
thirst
is
first
and
chiefly
felt
and
complained
of
,
a●
we
see
in
Sampson
,
and
Dives
in
Hell
cryed
for
a
drop
of
water
;
thirst
is
a
sinless
punishment
,
which
Jesus
Christ
suffered
to
the
utmost
extremity
,
even
till
it
killed
him
.
Prop.
3.
Bread
is
the
staff
of
life
,
it
is
the
most
solid
sustenance
,
therefore
nature
spent
with
pain
,
grief
,
and
torment
,
and
such
like
punishments
,
doth
also
greedily
hunger
,
and
vehemently
desire
,
and
crave
for
solid
sustenance
,
as
well
as
for
moisture
,
to
cool
and
moisten
,
so
did
Jesus
Christ
in
this
his
last
Agony
,
express
his
hunger
,
as
well
as
his
thirst
,
and
both
together
do
express
the
fulness
of
his
extream
sense
of
torment
,
which
he
felt
in
this
last
finishing
Agony
,
hunger
is
a
sinless
punishment
,
which
Jesus
Christ
suffered
to
the
uttermost
extremity
;
until
it
killed
him
.
His
expression
of
his
sense
of
hunger
is
not
recorded
in
the
History
,
but
it
is
in
the
Prophesy
,
Psal.
69.21
.
they
also
gave
me
gall
for
meat
,
and
in
my
thirst
they
gave
me
vinegar
for
drink
.
He
cryed
for
,
and
needed
both
kinds
of
relief
,
in
the
sense
of
the
want
whereof
he
was
ready
to
dye
,
and
quickly
did
dye
;
extremity
of
hunger
and
thirst
are
among
the
greatest
of
torments
:
when
he
had
no
other
relief
to
spent
nature
,
then
gall
and
vinegar
,
he
presently
dyed
.
Prop.
4.
It
would
set
forth
his
extream
sense
of
pain
and
torment
which
his
body
felt
for
the
space
of
about
twenty
hours
,
to
gather
up
a
few
Instances
of
the
su●fering
of
Soul
,
mind
and
body
,
that
he
passed
through
,
from
his
entrance
into
the
garden
,
until
he
dyed
on
the
Cross
;
they
were
tormenting
him
both
in
body
and
mind
all
that
time
,
without
ministring
unto
him
,
that
we
know
off
,
either
food
or
rest
.
He
suffered
both
loss
of
blood
,
and
great
pain
by
their
twice
cruel
whippings
,
and
twice
crowning
him
with
thorns
,
and
being
withal
parched
and
burnt
with
heat
,
which
made
him
complain
,
Psal.
69.3
.
my
throat
is
dried
,
he
sweat
in
the
garden
,
but
now
his
moisture
is
turned
into
the
drought
of
Summer
,
Psal.
22.15
.
my
strength
is
dried
up
lik●
a
potsheard
,
and
my
tongue
cleaveth
to
my
jaws
,
And
thou
hast
brought
me
to
the
dust
of
death
.
All
these
and
such
like
expressions
se●
forth
his
extream
sense
of
misery
,
through
want
of
relief
,
especially
his
want
of
supply
of
moisture
,
as
being
a
chief
sustenance
,
he
is
therefore
pleased
in
the
history
to
express
all
by
that
one
word
I
thirst
;
all
these
pains
are
sinless
punishments
,
which
he
suffered
unto
the
uttermost
extremity
,
until
they
killed
him
.
A
painful
violent
death
he
suffered
.
Prop.
5
,
Grief
is
exceedingly
drying
,
and
expensive
to
nature
,
Psal.
31
9
,
10.
Isa●
,
6.7
.
&
73.21
.
Iob.
30.25
.
Grief
wasteth
the
body
,
pierceth
the
heart
,
woundeth
the
soul
;
and
many
such
effects
there
be
of
grief
:
and
now
Iesus
Christ
had
a
juncture
of
the
greatest
griefs
in
the
world
,
all
met
together
upon
him
like
mountains
of
sorrow
,
and
terror
.
All
these
are
sinless
punishments
of
sin
,
which
he
suffered
to
the
uttermost
extremity
,
until
they
killed
him
.
Prop.
6.
All
this
pain
,
grief
,
horror
which
his
humane
adversaryes
did
inflict
upon
him
,
were
infinitely
sharpned
by
the
power
of
vindictive
justice
,
and
laid
upon
him
as
our
Surety
;
so
that
his
punishment
of
sense
,
was
to
the
uttermost
extremity
,
until
they
killed
him
.
The
effect
of
these
two
words
upon
the
by-standers
was
twofold
,
First
,
they
gave
him
gall
and
vinegar
in
the
extremity
of
his
pain
,
to
adde
unto
his
torment
,
not
to
relieve
him
,
which
act
is
thus
expressed
.
1.
One
run
to
doe
it
,
that
he
might
be
sure
to
make
him
taste
it
before
he
was
quite
dead
.
2.
He
took
a
Spunge
,
there
ready
for
that
purpose
,
after
the
Romane
manner
of
tormenting
Malefactors
.
3.
He
bound
the
spunge
upon
a
reed
with
a
branch
of
hysope
,
which
were
all
ready
for
that
purpose
.
4.
He
dipt
it
in
the
vessel
of
galled
vinegar
that
was
ready
there
.
5.
He
lifted
it
to
his
mouth
,
and
caused
him
to
taste
,
and
he
tasted
it
.
The
second
effect
was
,
a
mistake
in
some
of
his
word
Eli
,
Eli
,
saying
he
calleth
for
Elias
to
come
and
deliver
him
.
Whether
this
were
a
real
mistake
of
ignorance
,
or
whether
it
was
done
in
mockery
as
some
think
,
I
say
not
:
but
this
is
sure
,
Luk.
23.36
,
37.
The
Souldiers
also
mocked
him
,
coming
to
him
,
and
offering
him
vinegar
,
and
saying
,
if
thou
be
the
King
of
the
Iews
save
thy self
.
The
end
and
intent
of
this
giving
him
gall
and
vinegar
was
to
afflict
him
,
because
Jesus
Christ
so
complained
of
it
,
Psal.
69.21
.
The
complaint
was
in
the
Prophesie
,
but
the
thing
was
done
in
the
History
.
Sect.

The
third
word
which
Iesus
Christ
spake
upon
the
Cross
about
the
9th
.
hour
.
JOh.
19.30
.
When
Jesus
had
received
the
vinegar
,
he
said
,
It
is
finished
.
Quest.
What
is
finished
?
his
Sufferings
were
not
yet
finished
,
for
he
had
yet
to
dye
:
the
great
sacrifice
was
not
yet
fully
offered
,
the
Lamb
of
God
was
not
yet
quite
slain
.
But
the
bitter
punishment
of
loss
was
finished
;
vindictive
justice
is
satisfied
in
that
part
of
his
Sufferings
;
Gods
desertion
of
him
,
which
he
so
bitterly
roared
out
under
,
was
released
.
His
bitter
cry
Eli
Eli
lamasabachtani
,
was
the
last
distressing
act
of
that
suffering
.
upon
this
last
and
most
bitter
exclamation
,
he
felt
a
cessation
of
the
rigor
of
justice
:
God
turned
his
face
with
favour
toward
him
;
he
felt
a
cessation
of
his
Soul
agony
under
the
punishment
of
loss
.
But
the
punishment
of
sence
continued
upon
him
,
and
did
so
till
he
dyed
:
that
part
of
the
punishment
of
sin
did
finally
kill
him
.
His
death
was
more
quiet
and
Lamb-like
,
because
the
punishment
of
loss
was
finished
,
the
great
test
brunt
of
the
suffering
for
sin
was
finished
.
And
that
this
is
the
true
&
right
interpretation
of
the
word
,
[
It
is
finished
]
appeareth
by
Iohn
who
recordeth
this
Speech
,
v.
30.
doth
also
say
v.
28.
Iesus
knowing
that
all
things
were
accomplished
,
viz.
In
his
soul
agony
under
divine
desertion
,
that
the
Scripture
might
be
fullfilled
,
said
,
I
thirst
:
shewing
us
that
Jesus
Christ
(
who
felt
the
punishment
,
and
therfore
best
knew
)
he
felt
the
punishment
of
Loss
finished
,
before
he
expressed
his
sense
of
the
continuance
of
the
punishment
of
sense
:
and
when
he
had
expressed
his
the
continuance
of
the
punishment
of
sense
,
by
that
word
,
I
thirst
,
now
that
Scripture
was
fullfilled
,
Psal.
69
21.
viz.
that
the
sense
of
pain
,
hunger
and
thirst
were
still
upon
him
:
and
when
the
only
relief
that
man
did
afford
him
was
gall
and
vinegar
,
then
he
uttered
that
word
,
[
It
is
finished
.
]
viz.
the
punishment
of
loss
is
finished
,
and
that
Scripture
is
fullfilled
that
saith
,
the
punishment
of
sense
doth
still
lye
upon
him
,
and
will
do
so
untill
it
kill
him
.
Mortal
pains
were
upon
him
under
the
punishment
of
sense
,
when
he
spake
that
word
:
and
those
pains
quickly
after
the
fullfilling
the
Scripture
about

he

The
vail
of
the
Temple
was
rent
from
top
to

,
probably
it
was
effected
by
he
Earthquake

and
the
accomplishment
of
the

the

maketh
mention
of
,

I

also

And
this

The
Sun
did
suddenly
,
perceptibly
brighten
about
the
ninth
hour
,
which
was
the
time
of
the
death
of
our
Lord
Jesus
;
which
manifesteth
,
that
this
darkness
was
not
an
effect
of
any
natural
causes
,
but
of
the
divine
power
of
God
.
And
tendeth
much
to
the
confirmation
of
the
apprehension
of
such
Reverend
Divines
,
as
think
,
that
the
darkening
of
the
Sun
,
was
a
sign
of
Gods
hiding
his
face
from
Jesus
Christ
in
his
spiritual
desertion
,
through
his
Agony
upon
the
Cross
,
which
Agony
being
finished
,
the
Sun
brightned
,
and
Gods
face
of
favourable
acceptation
turned
unto
him
,
and
then
he
breathed
out
his
Soul
into
his
Fathers
bosome
.
6.
The
timous
and
speedy
death
of
Jesus
,
by
the
wonderful
and
merciful
providence
of
God
prevented
that
Roman
and
Jewish
cruelty
in
breaking
his
legs
.
That
he
dyed
sooner
then
they
looked
for
,
or
then
malefactors
were
wont
to
dy
,
or
then
the
Theevs
did
,
appeareth
evidently
,
because
Pilate
marvailed
,
and
would
not
believe
Ioseph
,
who
begged
his
dead
body
,
until
he
called
the
Centurion
that
had
charge
of
the
watch
,
and
he
affirmed
that
he
was
dead
.
We
see
that
the
Romans
used
cruelty
in
putting
malefactors
to
death
by
long
tortures
,
Math.
18.34
.
executors
are
called
tormentors
,
and
when
they
desire
to
dispatch
them
,
they
broke
their
legs
,
to
torture
them
to
death
,
by
torturing
their
Limbs
furthest
from
their
heart
,
when
as
a
touch
upon
the
head
,
would
presently
finish
their
life
,
but
Christ
escaped
this
,
by
a
divine
hand
.
The
occasion
that
moved
Pilate
to
command
,
that
they
should
be
so
killed
,
and
hastned
to
their
death
,
was
,
the
Jews
request
that
their
legs
might
be
broken
,
the
reason
which
they
proposed
was
,
because
of
the
approach
of
the
Sabbath
,
and
it
was
the
time
of
their
Passover
feast
.
God
commanded
in
the
institution
of
the
Passover
,
that
a
bone
thereof
should
not
be
broken
,
Exod.
12.46
.
Numb.
9.12
.
which
the
Iews
religiously
observed
in
a●l
ages
&
generations
,
but
never
knew
the
reason
of
this
branch
of
the
divine
Institution
.
The
infinite
prescience
of
God
had
respect
unto
this
history
of
the
sufferings
of
Christ
,
which
we
are
now
treating
off
.
These
Iews
possibly
might
see
the
reason
of
this
branch
of
this
Institution
;
I
dare
not
say
they
did
see
it
because
the
Text
doth
not
say
so
.
But
if
they
had
any
such
intent
to
get
his
legs
broke
to
blemish
him
,
who
is
the
true
Paschal
Lamb
?
Then
I
say
1.
Their
wickedness
was
the
greater
,
because
it
was
against
light
.
2.
The
infinite
wise
and
merciful
providence
of
God
,
is
so
much
the
more
to
be
adored
and
admired
in
their
disappointment
.
3.
The
disappointing
and
preventing
of
the
breaking
of
his
bones
,
is
a
mighty
striving
of
God
to
convince
the
Iews
that
Iesus
is
the
Paschal
Lamb.
4.
The
fulfilling
of
the
Scriptures
in
preserving
his
bones
from
being
broken
,
is
a
powerful
confirmation
of
the
saith
of
the
Church
to
the
Worlds
end
,
that
Iesus
Christ
is
our
Paschal
Lamb
,
in
whom
we
believe
for
salvation
.
When
the
Souldiers
came
to
break
their
legs
,
and
did
break
the
legs
of
the
two
Theevs
,
Iesus
Christ
being
already
dead
,
they
did
not
break
his
legs
,
yet
one
of
them
,
without
cause
,
neither
knowing
nor
caring
what
he
did
,
only
to
insult
over
his
dead
body
,
took
a
Spear
,
and
pierced
his
left
side
.
It
appeareth
to
be
so
,
by
that
which
issued
out
of
the
wounds
viz.
blood
from
the
wound
in
his
flesh
,
and
water
out
of
the
pericardium
,
which
he
pierced
with
his
Spear
,
here
we
are
to
admire
the
all-ruling
wisdome
of
God
,
who
by
this
act
hath
provided
a
wonderful
confirmation
of
the
faith
of
the
Church
,
that
both
our
Sacraments
are
founded
in
the
death
of
Christ
,
the
water
in
Baptisme
,
and
blood
celebrated
in
the
Supper
,
confirm
the
faith
of
the
Church
to
the
worlds
end
,
1
Joh.
5.6
,
8.
Again
,
by
this
act
they
did
in
part
fulfil
that
Prophesy
,
Zech.
12.10
.
they
pierced
his
side
,
O
Lord
Jesus
make
haste
to
accomplish
the
other
part
of
this
gracious
Prophesy
,
which
saith
,
And
I
will
pour
upon
the
house
of
David
,
and
upon
the
Inhabitants
of
Jerusalem
,
the
Spirit
of
grace
and
of
supplications
,
and
they
shall
look
upon
me
whom
they
have
pierced
,
and
they
shall
mourn
for
him
as
one
mourneth
for
his
only
Son
,
and
shall
be
in
bitterness
for
him
,
as
one
that
is
in
bitterness
for
his
first
born
.
In
that
day
there
shall
be
a
great
mourning
in
Jerusalem
,
as
the
mourning
of
Hadadrimmon
in
the
valley
of
Megiddo
,
&c.
7.
Another
memorable
work
of
God
that
attended
the
death
of
Jesus
Christ
,
was
the
conversion
of
the
Centurion
,
who
had
the
charge
of
the
watch
that
day
,
where
see
,
first
,
The
means
of
his
conversion
,
viz.
the
dying
words
of
Jesus
,
the
Earthquake
,
and
other
things
,
as
the
darkening
of
the
Sun
,
and
the
brightning
of
the
same
,
the
rending
of
the
Rocks
,
&c.
2.
We
see
the
signs
of
his
conversion
,
1.
He
feared
greatly
.
2.
He
made
confession
of
his
faith
,
first
,
in
the
Deity
of
Christ
,
surely
he
is
the
Son
of
God
,
2dly
,
in
the
innocency
and
justness
of
his
person
,
Surely
he
was
a
just
man
.
8.
Many
more
of
those
upon
the
watch
,
and
of
the
spectators
were
convinced
,
if
not
converted
,
when
they
saw
what
was
done
,
they
returned
,
smiting
on
their
breasts
.

Of
the
Reverent
Buryal
of
the
Body
of
our
Lord
Jesus
.
THe
buryal
of
Iesus
Christ
is
a
great
point
in
Religion
,
both
in
the
Prophesy
,
and
in
the
History
,
and
in
the
application
.
In
the
History
of
this
act
of
Christian
love
,
see
first
the
persons
that
did
with
due
reverence
perform
this
service
to
the
dead
body
of
our
Lord
.
Joseph
of
Arimathea
and
Nicodemus
,
they
would
not
leave
his
blessed
Corps
to
the
rude
disposal
and
usage
of
Hangmen
,
and
Executioners
.
But
with
their
own
hands
they
did
reverently
lay
him
into
a
Tomb.
These
two
men
were
honourable
men
,
for
they
were
both
of
them
of
the
Council
,
but
consented
not
with
them
in
their
condemning
of
Jesus
,
Luk.
23.51
.
the
same
did
not
consent
to
the
Council
,
and
deed
of
them
,
it
is
like
that
neither
Joseph
nor
Nicodemus
were
sent
unto
,
or
called
unto
their
Clandestine
night
Court
,
wherein
Jesus
was
condemned
,
they
knew
that
they
would
oppose
,
they
had
experience
of
Nicodemus
his
opposing
them
;
how
many
more
of
the
Council
might
be
absent
from
that
night
Court
,
is
not
said
,
it
is
like
that
it
was
carryed
on
by
a
Faction
,
that
adhered
to
that
violent
young
man
Caiaphas
,
and
his
Father
in
law
Annas
.
For
in
the
History
we
find
all
the
Council
present
,
to
be
of
one
mind
,
therefore
neither
of
these
two
worthy
men
were
with
them
.
These
were
both
holy
men
,
and
true
Disciples
of
Jesus
Christ
,
yet
formerly
they
both
of
them
had
been
timorous
professors
,

Joseph
a
Disciple
of
Jesus
Christ
,
but
secretly
for
fear
of
the
Jews
.
And
Nicodemus
who
at
first
came
to
Jesus
by
night
,
see
a
little
what
the
Scripture
saith
of
these
,
first
of
Nicodemus
,
John
.
3.1
,

,

&c.
he
came
to

by

,
he
was
a
well
minded
man
,
but
weak
in
knowledge
,
Joh.

,

,

Nicodemus
saith
unto
them
,
(
he
that
came
to
Jesus
by
night
being
one
of
them
)
doth
our
law
judge
any
man
before
it
hear
him
,
and
know
what
he
doth
?
they
answered
and
said
unto
him
,
art
thou
also
of
Galilee
?
search
and
look
,
for
out
of
Galilee
ariseth
no
Prophet
,
and
euery
man
went
into
his
own
house
.
Here
we
see
Nicodemus
was
grown
more
valiant
,
and
appeared
openly
in
the
Council
,
on
the
behalf
of
Jesus
Christ
,
and
though
he
suffered
a
ch●ck
for
his
labour
,
yet
what
he
said
,
saved
the
cause
of
Jesus
Christ
for
that
time
.
And
now
when
Jesus
Christ
was
persecuted
to
the
death
,
and
crucified
,
his
courage
still
arose
,
and
his
love
abounded
,
for
he
joyned
with
good
Joseph
,
and
brought
an
hundred
pound
weight
of
Myrrhe
and
Aloes
,
for
the
embalming
of
the
Corps
.
Joseph
was
a
very
eminent
,
holy
,
and
good
man
,
all
the
Evangelists
do
inlarge
in
his
commendation
,
and
though
he
had
been
(
as
John
saith
)
timorous
,
yet
now
he
taketh
boldness
,

.

.
and
so
did
Nicodemus
:
if
the
Reader
please
to
turn
to
these
Texts
,
he
shall
see
how
amply
the
holy
Ghost
hath
spoken
of
Joseph

Pilate
granted
to
Joseph
at
his
request
the
dead
body
of
Jesus
Christ
,
these
two
honourable
men
took
it
down
from
the
Cross
,
they
prepared
a
fine
linnen
burying
Sheet
,
newly
bought
for
this
purpose
,
they
wrapped
up
the
body
with
the
aromaticks
in
decent
manner
,
carefully
laying
Aromaticks
upon
all
his
wounds
,
in
hands
,
feet
,
side
,
back
,
head
,
or
else
where
.
They
carryed
the
body
into
a
garden
hard
by
,
which
was
Josephs
,
where
was
a
new
Sepulchre
,
hewen
out
of
a
Rock
,
which
Joseph
had
prepared
for
his
own
buryal
,
in
which
never
yet
had
any
man
been
buryed
;
there
they
did
at
present
lay
up
the
body
,
the
approaching
of
the
Sabbath
permitting
them
to
do
no
more
:
they
rowled
a
great
stone
to
the
dore
of
the
Vault
,
which
shut
it
close
up
.
And
so
they
departed
.
Lo
here
we
find
the
dead
body
of
Jesus
Christ
separated
from
his
Soul
,
laid
up
among
those
that
are
gone
down
to
the
pit
,
under
the
power
of
death
,
and
the
grave
,
in
the
very
bottom
of
his
humiliation
.
His
Soul
was
in
his
Fathers
bosome
,
in
Paradice
,
far
out
of
the
reach
of
the
Enemy
,
though
in
a
suffering
condition
,
because
in
a
state
of
seperation
from
his
body
,
there
was
he
pleading
and
interceding
for
the
Church
.
The
good
women
observed
diligently
where
he
was
buryed
,
purposing
after
the
Sabbath
to
perfect
his
embalming
,
for
which
purpose
they
brought
and
prepared
sweet
Spices
,

.
and
24.1
.
Mark
.

.
Surely
they
meant
to
have
emboweled
the
Corps
,
and
to
have
filled
the
body
with
sweet
Spices
,
&c.
for
so
was
the
manner
of
embalming
of
dead
bodyes
;
they
did
not
understand
nor
believe
,
nor
expect
his
Resurrection
,
though
he
had
often
foretold
it
.
But
here
behold
the
wonderful
Providence
of
God
,
for
ever
to
be
admired
,
that
by
reason
of
the
shortness
of
the
time
to
the
beginning
of
the
Sabbath
,
which
prohibited
them
from
doing
any
more
at
present
,
unto
the
body
,
and
the
interposition
of
the
Sabbath
,
prevented
them
all
that
day
.
But
they
intended
after
the
Sabbath
to
have
perfected
his
embalming
,
for
which
purpose
the
godly
women
came
very
early
,
and
brought
their
Spices
.
And
when
they
came
there
,
he
was
risen
before
they
came
.
Here
also
we
may
behold
and
admire
at
the
power
of
the
Cross
of
Christ
,
according
to
that
word
of
Ioh.
12.32
.
and
I
when
I
am
lifted
up
will
draw
all
men
unto
me
,
one
would
have
thought
in
reason
that
these
timorous
noble
Professors
would
now
have
been
more
timorous
then
ever
they
had
been
;
But
behold
the
contrary
,
for
now
they
are
more
bold
then
ever
they
were
.
Again
,
one
in
reason
would
have
thought
that
the
Centurion
and
all
that
were
on
the
guard
with
him
,
and
all
the
spectators
would
now
have
no
regard
or
good
perswasion
towards
Jesus
Christ
whom
they
had
conquered
and
kissed
,
But
behold
the
contrary
,
the
sovereign
grace
of
Jesus
Christ
,
is
poured
forth
from
the
Cross
,
and
draweth
hearts
to
believe
,
and
this
power
of
grace
is
exercised
by
the
sweet
savour
of
the
Cross
of
Christ
,
unto
this
day
,
yea
,
and
will
be
so
to
the
worlds
end

The
sufferings
of
Christ
after
he
was
dead
and
buryed
.
AS
the
first
part
of
the
sufferings
of
Christ
was
before
he
was
born
,
so
the
last
part
of
his
sufferings
was
after
he
was
dead
and
buryed
,
he
lay
in
the
grave
,
as
Jonas
in
the
whales
belly
,
in
a
suffering
condition
until
his
Resurrection
.
After
the
Incarnation
and
birth
of
Jesus
Christ
,
the
whole
conspiracy
of
Devils
and
wicked
men
was
,
to
kill
him
and
to
conquer
him
by
death
:
to
remove
him
out
of
their
way
,
after
they
had
conquered
and
killed
him
by
death
,
all
their
conspiracy
was
to
keep
him
dead
,
to
seal
him
up
in
his
grave
,
that
he
should
not
rise
again
,
we
may
see
what
the
Jews
(
by
Satans
instigation
no
doubt
)
did
this
way
,
Math.
27.62
,
ad
67.
where
see
the
time
of
this
act
,
the
morning
after
the
preparation
,
or
celebration
of
the
Passover
,
which
was
upon
the
very
Sabbath
day
,
yea
,
though
it
was
an
high
day
,
Ioh.
19.31
.
being
the
morrow
after
the
Passover
.
They
pretended
to
be
very
zealous
for
the
Sabbrth
,
to
pick
up
matter
against
Christ
,
when
he
did
good
works
of
charity
upon
the
Sabbath
day
.
But
now
they
can
go
to
Pilate
and
transact
their
envyous
business
against
Christ
upon
this
high
Sabbath
day
.
The
actors
of
this
business
were
the
chief
Priests
and
Pharis●es
,
who
pretended
to
be
most
zealous
for
the
Sabbath
,
but
here
we
may
see
their
hypocrisy
.
What
did
they
upon
this
Sabbath
?
they
came
to
Pilate
,
and
first
see
the
term
they
give
to
Christ
,
that
deceiver
or
impostor
,
we
see
here
that
his
blood
and
death
could
not
quench
their
rancor
of
heart
against
him
.
They
inform
Pilate
that
he
had
said
that
he
would
rise
again
the
third
day
,
which
they
desired
to
prevent
,
using
this
Argument
to
perswade
Pilate
to
assist
them
,
least
his
Disciples
should
come
in
the
night
and
steal
away
his
body
,
and
then
tell
the
people
that
he
was
risen
again
,
according
as
he
hath
said
he
would
do
.
And
the
Effect
of
that
would
be
worst
of
all
,
our
last
error
would
be
worse
then
the
first
,
if
we
let
him
rise
again
,
it
will
make
us
more
odious
to
the
people
,
then
our
putting
him
to
death
hath
done
.
Pilate
impowereth
them
to
make
his
grave
as
fast
and
sure
as
they
can
,
or
desire
to
do
,
by
a
watch
,
or
any
other
means
.
Whereupon
they
went
upon
the
same
Sabbath
day
,
they
set
a
watch
(
strong
enough
you
may
be
sure
)
at
the
grave
,
and
sealed
up
the
great
stone
that
lay
upon
the
graves
mouth
,
and
now
let
him
rise
if
he
can
.
But
herein
we
may
behold
the
admirable
wisdome
of
God
,
and
folly
of
man
,
that
the
very
way
which
they
took
to
prevent
his
Resurrection
,
was
a
means
to
make
his
Resurrection
most
evident
and
manifest
unto
all
;
the
Watchmen
were
witnesses
of
it
.
Though
they
did
afterwards
corrupt
them
with
large
money
to
make
a
foolish
lye
,
which
is
current
among
the
Jews
unto
this
day
;
and
hereby
their
last
error
is
indeed
as
bad
,
if
not
worse
then
the
first
.
When
Jesus
Christ
breathed
out
his
blessed
Soul
into
his
Fathers
bosome
,
it
wa●
in
a
state
of
separation
from
his
body
,
and
that
was
a
state
of
suffering
.
He
went
into
Heaven
,
into
Paradice
,
into
his
Fathers
bosome
,
in
a
seperate
,
in
a
suffering
Estate
.
O
how
welcome
was
that
blessed
suffering
Soul
,
hypostatically
united
to
the
Deity
,
when
he
came
in
Heaven
!
This
blessed
Soul
was
not
long
in
this
seperate
state
,
about
forty
hours
,
though
part
of
three
dayes
and
three
nights
.
God
suffered
not
his
holy
body
,
hypostatically
united
to
the
Deity
▪
that
lay
dead
in
the
grave
to
see
the
least
touch
of
corruption
.
Yet
hereby
he
sanctified
this
seperate
state
of
the
Soul
from
the
body
unto
,
and
for
his
Elect
,
whose
bodyes
do
see
corruption
,
and
whose
duration
and
abiding
in
that
seperat●
estate
,
is
of
a
far
longer
continuance
,
even
until
the
day
of
Resurrection
,
and
last
Judgement
.
But
Jesus
Christ
hath
made
it
to
be
unto
us
an
entrance
into
glory
.
The
Soul
of
Jesus
Christ
presented
himself
before
the
holy
Tribunal
of
divine
Justice
,
where
he
pleaded
his
full
satisfaction
that
he
had
made
unto
all
the
demands
of
the
holy
Law
,
both
by
his
active
and
passive
obedience
.
He
saith
,
I
have
fulfilled
all
Righteousness
,
I
have
suffered
and
finished
the
sufferings
of
the
punishment
of
loss
.
I
have
suffered
the
punishment
of
sense
unto
the
uttermost
,
ever
until
it
forced
a
separation
betwixt
my
body
and
Soul
,
and
brought
me
into
the
state
of
death
;
and
behold
here
I
stand
before
the
Tribunal
of
Justice
,
in
a
state
of
seperation
of
Soul
from
my
body
:
and
thus
have
I
answered
the
Law
,
and
finished
the
work
of
Redemption
.
I
have
purchased
a
pardon
,
I
have
purchased
the
Inheritance
,
the
Kingdome
;
that
by
the
right
hand
of
divine
power
I
may
gather
in
all
Gods
Elect
,
whose
salvation
I
have
undertaken
,
that
I
may
manage
the
world
for
the
glory
of
God
,
and
that
I
may
subdue
all
their
Enemies
.
And
now
O
Father
glorifie
me
with
thy self
,
and
these
thine
Elect
with
me
for
my
sake
,
that
they
may
behold
my
glory
,
for
which
I
appeal
unto
mercy
.
Likewise
also
our
appearance
in
Heaven
when
we
dye
,
must
be
before
the
Tribunal
of
Justice
,
but
we
appear
in
the
Name
of
Jesus
Christ
,
we
are
converted
,
united
unto
him
,
we
are
members
of
his
mystical
body
,
cloathed
with
his
Righteousness
,
and
for
his
sake
we
are
accepted
,
pardoned
,
and
welcomed
to
glory
,
so
far
as
we
are
capable
in
that
seperate
estate
.
And
for
this
we
appeal
unto
mercy
.
Now
Jesus
Christ
took
out
a
pardon
;
now
he
took
possession
of
his
purchased
Inheritance
according
to
the
capacity
of
his
seperate
estate
.
Now
he
took
the
keys
of
hell
and
death
,
now
was
he
ready
to
tread
down
all
Enemies
,
Hell
,
Devil
,
Sin
,
Death
,
and
Grave
,
by
his
triumphant
Resurrection
.
But
these
meditations
do
appertain
unto
the
Exaltation
of
Jesus
Christ
,
him
God
hath
exalted
with
his
right
hand
to
be
a
Prince
and
a
Saviour
,
for
to
give
Repentance
to
Israel
and
forgiveness
of
sins
,
Amen
.
