hand_n make_v light_a work_n but_o if_o we_o will_v piercing_o and_o exact_o look_v upon_o this_o passion_n upon_o this_o murder_n of_o a_o king_n we_o shall_v find_v many_o hand_n indeed_o but_o for_o work_v the_o heavy_a that_o ever_o be_v read_v of_o and_o how_o can_v it_o well_o be_v other_o when_o the_o misery_n of_o this_o poor_a king_n be_v to_o satisfy_v the_o malice_n of_o two_o party_n mat._n 27.1_o when_o the_o morning_n be_v come_v all_o the_o chief_a priest_n and_o as_o the_o greek_a have_v it_o the_o lay-presbyter_n or_o the_o elder_n of_o the_o people_n take_v counsel_n against_o jesus_n to_o put_v he_o to_o death_n they_o who_o prepare_v plot_a and_o purpose_v their_o king_n destruction_n they_o who_o raise_v a_o army_n and_o send_v sword_n and_o staff_n to_o apprehend_v he_o these_o be_v you_o see_v a_o assembly_n of_o priest_n and_o elder_n yet_o these_o be_v not_o they_o that_o do_v the_o deed_n these_o be_v not_o the_o executioner_n these_o vote_v but_o these_o do_v not_o crucify_v now_o in_o verse_n 27._o of_o the_o same_o chapter_n you_o shall_v find_v the_o soldier_n of_o the_o governor_n take_v jesus_n into_o the_o common_a hall_n and_o gather_v unto_o he_o the_o whole_a band_n of_o soldier_n and_o they_o strip_v he_o they_o fool_v he_o verse_n 28._o they_o crown_v they_o mock_v he_o they_o spit_v upon_o he_o verse_n 29._o and_o when_o they_o have_v sport_v enough_o at_o his_o sorrow_n then_o in_o the_o 35._o verse_n of_o the_o chapter_n they_o crucify_a he_o they_o not_o the_o presbyter_n or_o elder_n but_o the_o soldier_n bring_v he_o to_o the_o block_n they_o crucify_a he_o not_o bare_o and_o simple_o put_v he_o to_o death_n but_o they_o put_v he_o ad_fw-la mortem_fw-la erucis_fw-la to_o the_o death_n of_o the_o cross_n and_o indeed_o this_o have_v not_o be_v envy_n masterpiece_n have_v it_o not_o be_v so_o have_v they_o not_o clothe_v he_o with_o shame_n as_o well_o as_o macerate_v he_o with_o pain_n have_v they_o not_o put_v he_o as_o well_o to_o a_o ignominious_a as_o a_o irksome_a death_n envy_n will_v have_v seem_v too_o dull_a and_o too_o cool_a a_o persecutor_n and_o therefore_o to_o express_v the_o zeal_n and_o activity_n of_o their_o cruelty_n it_o be_v not_o say_v here_o they_o slay_v but_o they_o crucify_a he_o that_o be_v they_o inflict_v on_o he_o the_o extremity_n of_o shame_n sorrow_n death_n to_o a_o person_n of_o honour_n and_o especial_o to_o the_o fountain_n of_o honour_n to_o a_o king_n shame_n and_o dishonour_n it_o be_v bitter_a than_o death_n so_o that_o indeed_o it_o be_v hard_a to_o say_v whether_o the_o disposition_n to_o and_o manner_n of_o his_o death_n be_v not_o more_o affliction_n to_o the_o king_n than_o death_n itself_o for_o if_o we_o look_v upon_o these_o three_o particular_n though_o we_o must_v pass_v over_o a_o thousand_o bitterness_n 1._o what_o be_v do_v before_o they_o bring_v he_o to_o the_o court_n of_o justice_n 2._o what_o be_v do_v there_o 3._o what_o after_o sentence_n we_o shall_v find_v there_o be_v nothing_o do_v but_o what_o speak_v tyranny_n and_o malice_n for_o first_o to_o take_v off_o the_o appearance_n of_o their_o envy_n and_o to_o make_v malice_n seem_v zeal_n unto_o the_o public_a behold_v the_o king_n must_v be_v bring_v as_o a_o prisoner_n to_o the_o bar_n and_o as_o a_o malefactor_n before_o the_o court_n of_o justice_n but_o if_o we_o observe_v the_o trial_n we_o shall_v find_v nothing_o but_o envy_n and_o malice_n in_o it_o for_o in_o a_o place_n i_o now_o cite_v mat._n 27.7_o i_o show_v unto_o you_o how_o the_o priest_n and_o elder_n take_v counsel_n against_o jesus_n to_o put_v he_o to_o death_n before_o ever_o they_o bring_v he_o to_o the_o court_n of_o justice_n before_o ever_o any_o process_n

must_v and_o shall_v give_v the_o sentence_n of_o death_n upon_o he_o so_o that_o indeed_o the_o bring_v he_o before_o a_o judge_n the_o bring_v the_o king_n before_o annas_n caiaphas_n herod_n and_o

cloak_v the_o cruelty_n of_o malice_n for_o before_o ever_o he_o come_v thither_o the_o council_n have_v determine_v jesus_n their_o king_n must_v die_v second_o see_v the_o carriage_n of_o the_o

before_o caiaphas_n before_o the_o chief_a priest_n and_o the_o elder_n mat._n 26.59_o we_o shall_v find_v that_o all_o his_o judge_n be_v party_n for_o the_o scripture_n express_o say_v the_o chief_a

shall_v find_v it_o be_v the_o multitude_n it_o be_v the_o tumult_n it_o be_v voice_n not_o law_n that_o carry_v the_o cause_n against_o he_o when_o pilate_n see_v that_o he_o can_v not_o prevail_v
