it was shewed that of the Tribe of Judah should Shiloh come but whether Male or Female nothing certain David was assured that a Son of his should sit upon his Throne for ever But till Isaias it was not known that he should be born of a pure Virgin that a woman should compass a man Isa. 7. 14. Behold a Virgin that famous Virgin the Originall sets it forth with an Accent spoken of Gen. 3. 15. shall conceive and bear a Son The very place of his Birth was not set forth till Micha did it Mich. 5. 2. Not the just time till Daniel foretold it Dan. 9. 24. Thus by degrees and piece-meal as it were God spake of old to the Fathers by his servants the Prophets Heb. 1. 1. Every age almost brought sorth some new thing touching the Babe of Bethlehem lapt up in the swathbands of the Holy Scriptures either in express and evident terms and testimonies or else in mirrors and miracles Lastly John Baptist Fibula Legis Gratiae as one calls him the Buckler of the Law and Gospel pointed him out with his finger Behold the Lamb of God c. Now this Jesus Christ is the most excellent Person in the world the fairest amongst men worth ten thousand of us as the People said of David 2 Sam. 18. 3. Look upon him as he is described Heb. 1. 1 2 3. For his Nobility He is Gods own Son For his Riches He is heir of all things For his Wisdom He made the Worlds For his Eminency He is the brightness of his Fathers Glory and the express Image of his Person For his might He upholdeth all things by the Word of his Power For his Merits He hath by himself purged our sins For his Preferment He sate down at the right hand of the Majesty on High Traps Treas The quallity and kind of Christs Death is remarkeable for three Characters which were engraven on the Death of the Cross which he died 1. For the painfulness of it The nature of that Death was painfull For Death it self is painfull no man payes that debt with ease When Asa dies he cryes Ah my feet When David dyes he complains O my cold Body When the Shunamites Child dyes he cryes Ah my pained head When ●zzah dyes he cryes Oh my Leprous skin Life is a precious Pearl But there are three things besides which made Christs Death painfull 1. Violence It 's painfull to die of any violent disease but when five deaths do all concur and strive which of them shall dispatch the poor man soonest this must needs be more painfull Such was Christs Death which made him complain Psal. 22. 16. They pierced my hands and my feet and Joh. 19. 34. One of the Souldiers with a Spear pierced his side and forthwith there came out blood and water Here are five Deaths that invaded a living man Death on each hand and on each legg and death on his side though this last came a little too late Now a violent Death it must needs be when strong and great nails did pierce the most nervous parts of his Body his hands and his feet 2. Slowness Four leasurely violent Deaths seized on him Blood is the life of the living Creature then look how long his blood was coming out his Life was dropping out as long It 's a great aggravation for a man to be long a dying and yet cannot die To have his torment quick and yet his Death slow is an Image of Hell where men seek Death and yet cannot finde it Christs slow Death was divided into four quarters Death at each hand and at each foot made his pain the greater The weight of his Body did hang upon those four tormenting nails his pierced Hands and Feet as if Death had delighted to hold Christ long at sea and to deny him it's last sad service Christ had been before dying a terrible Death in the Garden when he was boiled as it were in a bloody sweat and two circumstances shew that the two Thieves Death was nothing in slowness of torment comparable to Christs death 1. The sad and direful preparatories to Christs Death as he was the night before in a Soul-death when those 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 as it were Drops or great hail stones of blood frozen or hardened together as Stephanus thinks through extream terrour when he was scourged and Crowned with Thorns 2. He was so weakned in Body thereby that he was not able to bear his own Cross which made him complain Psal. 22. 17. I may tell all my Bones My strength is dried up like a Potsheard So that Christ began to die the night before and continued dying twenty four hours the Lords anger and curse being on him and then bodily pain with the curse of the Law all this time wrought upon him And Christ in bearing the pains of the second Death did suffer that which all the Elect should have sustained in their Souls for ever Isa. 53. 6. The Lord laid upon him the iniquity of us all and though Christ died but one Death for all the Elect yet in the extremity of the pain it was many Deaths to him 3. Many degrees of Life were taken from him Consider how much of Life Christ had and the removing of it by violence must be so much the more painfull Now life natural had in Christ a sweet and a peaceable dwelling the possession of life was with excellent delights It was planted besides the Glorious God-head personally and so had sweet company and that made it pleasant It had not been so much to take away the Life of a common man whose life is not priviledged with Grace and the Grace of a Personal union with God The second Character that was engraven on Christs Death was that it was shameful and reproachful Now Shame is first Fundamentally in the cause Sin and Sin acted by men against that Law of God is the onely foundation of Shame Exod. 32. 25. Aaron made the People naked to their Shame So 2 Sam. 13. 13. Shame and sin are neer a kin And thus Christ was no more capable of Shame than he was of sin He came out of the Womb clothed with the white Robe of Innocency and he never contracted one black spot on that fair Robe of the highest Image of God from the womb to the Grave and therefore there was no shame fundamentally in Christ. 2. There is Shame formally in sin and that first In being ashamed Actively Secondly In bearing of Shame Passively In the former consideration because sin is a shameful thing in itself Jer. 11. 13. There is an Internal blushing and Shame rising from sin the Conscience of the sinner if it be not cauterized thinking ill of sin and esteeming it self base in doing it Rom. 6. 21. What fruit had you in those things whereof you are now ashamed So Christ thought ill of sin and esteemed the Creature base in sinning 2. Christ our Lord

THE BLESSED LIFE AND MERITORIOUS DEATH OF OUR LORD SAVIOUR Jesus Christ From his CONCEPTION to his CROSS and from his CROSS to his CROWN Together with the Series and Order of his Ministery and Miracles as they are Recorded by the four Evangelists wherein what is wanting in one is supplied out of the other By SAM CLARKE sometime Pastor in St Bennet-Fink London In all things it behoved him to be made like unto his Brethren that he might be a merciful and faithful high Priest in things pertaining to God to make reconciliation for the sins of the People For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted he is able to succour them that are tempted Heb. 2. 17 18.

THE LIFE DEATH OF OUR BLESSED LORD SAVIOUR Jesus Christ. IN the 6th moneth after John sirnamed the Baptist was conceived the Angel Gabriel who had in time past foretold to Daniel the coming of the Messias by a definite number of weeks was sent by God to Nazareth in Galilee to the blessed Virgin Mary that was betrothed to Joseph of the same Tribe of Judah with her self and of the stock of David who after salutations declared unto her that she should bring forth the Son of God and should call his Name Jesus and having more fully taught her of the admirable manner of her conception to be performed by the power of the holy Ghost overshadowing her with great Faith she said Be it to the handmaid of the Lord according to thy word Luk. 1. 26 38. Christ being thus conceived the Mother of our Lord went into the Hill Countrey with hast into a city of JIuda to wit Hebron a city of the Priests situate in the mountains of Judea Josh. 21. 10 11. where when she entred into the house of Zacharias the Priest and had saluted her cousin Elizabeth she perceiving the child to spring in her womb was filled with the holy Ghost and declared that Mary was blessed which believed and confirmed that those things should be performed that were told her of the Lord To whom for an answer the blessed Virgin imitating that song of Hannah 1 Sam. 2. 1. rehearsed that Divine Hymn My soul doth magnifie the Lord c. After which Mary tarried with her about three moneths Luke 1. 39 56. Mary Not long after Joseph finding his betrothed wife with child was willing to put her away privily but being warned of God in a dream and informed that she had conceived by the holy Ghost and should bring forth her Son Jesus who should save his people from their sins he taketh his wife Matt. 1. 18 24. When the time of Maries delivery drew neer there came forth a command from Augustus that all the Roman world should be taxed which taxing was first made when Cyrenius was Governour of Syria Luk. 2. 1 whereupon Joseph went up from Galilee from the city of Nazareth into Judea into the city of David which is called Bethlehem because he was of the House and linage of David that he might be taxed with Mary his Wife being great with childe Luk. 2. 4 5. During their abode there Jesus Christ the Son of God in the fulness of time was born of the most blessed Virgin Mary at Bethlehem Matth. 1. 25. 2. 1 5. Gal. 4. 4. in the four thousanth year of the World saith the learned Primate of Ireland Doctor Usher whom Mary rolled in swadling clothes and laid him in a manger because there was no room in the Inn. Luk. 2. 7. Christ being thus born his Nativity was revealed by an Angel of the Lord to Shepherds that were keeping their Flock by night in the neighbouring Fields which word a multitude of the Heavenly Host receiving prayed for Glory to God peace to the earth and good will to men when they were departed the Shepherds making hast to Bethlehem found Mary and Joseph and the child lying in the Manger and they published that which was told them concerning the child and so returned praising and glorifying God Luk. 2. 8 20. The eighth day after his Nativity the child was circumcised and his Name was called Jesus which was so appointed by the Angel Gabriel before he was conceived in the womb Luk. 2. 21. Presently after the Wise men from the East being guided by a new and extraordinary Star came to Herod to Jerusalem and there having learned that the Birth-place of Christ was Bethlehem of Judea they went thither and entring into the house which was pointed out to them by the Star that stood over it they found the little Child and Mary his Mother and falling down they worshipped him and opening their Treasures they offered unto him Gold Frankincense and Myrrhe Then being warned of God in a dream that they should not return to Herod they departed into their own Countrey another way Matth. 2. 1 12. The fortieth day after her delivery Mary went up to Jerusalem to the Temple both that she might present him to the Lord according to the Law of the first-born and also that she might offer for her self a pair of Turtle Doves or two young Pigeons she being so poor that she could not offer a Lamb according to the Law concerning Women that had lain in Luk. 2. 22 23 24 27. with Levit. 1● 2 3 4 6 8. When his Parents Joseph and Mary brought the Child Jesus into the Temple to do for him according to the custome of the Law their came in at the same time Simeon of Jerusalem to whom it was revealed by God that he should not die before he had seen the anointed of the Lord whom he took in his arms and praised the Lord adding Prophesies both concerning Christ and his Mother At the same instant also came Anna a Prophetess the daughter of Phanuel who also acknowledged the Lord openly and spake of him to all that looked for Redemption in Jerusalem Luk. 2. 25 38. Thus when Joseph and Mary had performed all things according to the Law of the Lord they returned into Galilee to their own City Nazareth Luk. 2. 39. Some time after the Angel of the Lord appeared unto Joseph in a dream warning him to fly into Egypt thereby to provide for the life of the Child and to escape the malicious designs of Herod who having by the Wise men heard that one was born King of the Jews sought to destroy him and accordingly Joseph when he awaked took the young Child and his Mother by night and went into Egypt where he remained until the death of Herod Matth. 2. 13 14 15. But Herod thinking that the young Child had been still at Bethlehem being further provoked by the Wise mens not returning to him that he might destroy him amongst the

them As also the Parable of the vineyard let out to Husband-men and of their killing the Heir of the vineyard together with the application thereof And from that hour they sought to take him but they feared the People for they took him for a Prophet Again he propounded to them the Parable of the marriage of the Kings Son and the refusals and excuses of some that were bidden and the wickedness and punishments of others especially of him that had not on the wedding Garment Then went the Pharisees and took Counsel how they might intangle him in his talk wherefore they sent out unto him their Disciples with the Herodians saying Is it lawful to give tribute to Cesar or not These being astonished at his answer lest him and went their way Luke 20. 1 8 9 19 20 40. Mark 11. 20 33 12. 1 12 13 37. Matth. 21. 19 46. 22. 1 46. The same day there came to Jesus the Saduces asking him of the woman that had seven Brethren to her Husbands which of them should be her Husband in the Resurrection and when the multitude heard his answer whereby he proved the Resurrection they were astonished at his Doctrine Then a Pharisee that was a Lawyer tempted him asking which was the great Commandment in the Law to whom he answered and asked the Pharisee whose Son Christ is and no man was able to answer him a word neither durst any man from that day forth ask him any more questions Luke 20. 41 44. Then spake Jesus to the multitude and to his Disciples concerning the Scribes and Pharisees denouncing eight woes against them and turning his speech to the City of Jerusalem he accused her of cruelty and obstinacy and foretold her desolation Luke 20. 45 46 47. Mark 1● 38 39 40. Matth. 23. 1 39. And as Jesus sate over against the Treasury he saw a widow casting in two mites whom he preferred before them that cast in more Luke 21. 1 4. Mark 12. 41 44. When he was gone out of the Temple his Disciples shewed him the stately buildings and stones of it whereupon he foretold the ruine thereof Luke 21. 5 36. Mark 13. 1 37. Matth. 24. 1 51. And as he sate on the Mount of Olives over against the Temple his Disciples asked him when these things should be and what should be the sign of his coming and of the end of the world To whom he at large answered concerning the signs of them both and warned them to watch and be ready because they knew not the hour when the Lord would come and he taught the same thing by the Parable of the ten Virgins As also by the Parable of the Talents delivered to the Servants to trade withal and described the Judgement of this world perhaps as a Type of that by setting the Sheep on the right hand and the Goats on the left and giving sentence upon each of them By day he taught in the Temple but at night he went into the Mount of Olives and all the People came unto him early in the morning and he taught them in the Temple Matth. 25. 1 46. Luke 21. 37 38. And it came to pass when Jesus had finished these sayings he said unto his Disciples Ye know that after two days is the Passover and the Son of man shall be betrayed to be crucified About which time they consulted together in the Pallace of the High Priest that they might kill Jesus But they said not on the feast day lest there be an uproar amongst the People Mark 14. 1 2. Matth. 26. 1 5. As Jesus was in the House of Simon the Leper he defended a woman that powred an Alabaster Box of Ointment on his Head as he sate at meat against his Disciples that murmured at it and foretold his Burial Mark 14. 3 9. Matth. 26. 6 13. Then entred Satan into Judas who offered himself and covenanted to betray him Luke 22. 1 3. Mark 14. 10 11. Matth. 26. 14 15 16. The fourth and last Passover in which Christ our Passover was Sacrificed 1 Cor. 5. 7. and so an end was put to all the Legal Sacrifices which prefigured this only one The fourth or middle year of the last week of Daniel now beginning Dan. 9. 27. IN the first day of unleavened Bread when the Passover was slain April 2. his Disciples asked him where they should prepare it Then he sent Peter and John into the City telling them that there should meet them a man bearing a pitcher of water by following of whom they should find a Guest-chamber ready furnished by the good man of the House Mark 14. 12 16. Matth. 26. 17 18 19. And in the evening he went thither with the twelve and when they had sate down and eaten Jesus said I have greatly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer And he commanded them to divide the Cup amongst themselves saying I will not any more eat of the Passover or drink of the fruit of the Vine until the Kingdom of God shall come Then said he One of you shall betray me and they began to be sorrowful and to say unto him one by one Is it I and he answered It is he that dippeth his hand with me in the dish and to Judas asking Is it I he answered Thou hast said Luke 22. 14 18. Mark 14. 17 18 21. Matth. 26. 21 25. Also whilst they were eating Jesus instituted the Sacrament of his Body and Blood in Bread and Wine after he had supped adding I will not henceforth drink of the fruit of the vine till I shall drink it new with you in the Kingdom of my Father But behold saith he the hand of him that betrays me is with me at the Table then they began to enquire amongst themselves if any among them should do this Luke 22. 19 23. Mark 14. 22 25. Matth. 26. 25 26. There was also a strife amongst them which of them should be accounted greatest when Supper was ended Jesus arose and laid aside his Garments and took a Towel and girded himself therewith and began to wash and wipe his Disciples feet and Peters also who at first denied it but afterwards desired it This being done Jesus sate down again saying I have shewed you an Example that as I have done you might likewise wash one anothers feet He that will be greatest amongst you let him be the least Yet he added I do not speak of you all for I know whom I have chosen When he had said these things he was troubled in spirit and testified saying One of you shall betray me His Disciples therefore looking one upon another were uncertain of whom he spake Peter therefore beckened to the beloved Disciple that he should ask who it was Jesus answered he it is to whom I shall give a sop after I have dipped it and he gave the sop to Judas and said unto him what thou

being our surety though he could not be ashamed of any sin he did himself Yet being made a sin for us he did bear the shame of our sin and thus he was not free from shame passively as it 's a punishment of sin Isa. 50. 6. I gave my back to the smiters and my cheeks to them that plucked off the hair I hid not my face from shame and spitting Heb. 12. 2. He endured the Cross despising the shame So then in these respects Christ did bear our Shame 1. In that though he was the Lord of Glory and thought it no robbery to be equal with the Father yet he abased himself to become man yea the lowest of men a Servant Phil. 2. 6 7 8. Matth. 20. 28. Isa. 49. 7. 2. All the tokens of reproach and shame were on his sufferings As 1. In Gestures they put a Crown of Thorns on his head and a Reed for a Scepter in his hand to mock his Kingly Power They saluted him with mocks and bowing the knee to him 2. In words They cried out Hail King of the Jews They scorned his Prophetical dignity when they blindfolded him saying Prophesie who it is that smote thee And to deride his Priesthood they put a Robe on him and when he was on the Cross offering himself as our Priest in a Sacrifice to God all that passed by wagged their Heads and shot out their Lips saying He trusted in God let him deliver him c. Then did they spit in his face which in the Law was a great shame Deut. 25. 9 50. Job 30. 10. 3. His Death was shameful the Death of a thief and robber So it 's called Christs reproach Heb. 13. 13. Let us go forth bearing his reproach It was a shameful thing to see the Lord of Glory bearing his own Cross on his back and all the children and base ones of the City wondring at him and crying out upon him This is called the reproach or Shame of Christ. Heb. 11. 26. Psal. 22. 7. 4. They shamed him in pulling off his Garments and scourging him As Jer. 13. 26. They brought him bound to Pilate as if he had been a Common Thief Matth. 26. 2. Hence Isa. 53. 3. He was despised and rejected of men and we hid as it were our faces from him He had all shame put upon him He was branded as the greatest Thief of the three He went out at the Gate of life bleeding pained cursed shamed forsaken despised and mocked Even the Sun seemed to be ashamed to see its Creator in so painful and shameful a condition and therefore hid its head The third Character which was engraven on Christs Death was the curse of God Now the Curse that Christ was made Was 1. The Lords pronouncing him a Curse Deut. 21. 23. Cursed is he that hangeth on a Tree which Paul applies to Christ. Gal. 3. 10 13. This indeed was a Ceremonial curse but had a special Relation to Christ who was under a real and Moral Curse 2. Gods devoting and setting him apart in his eternal Counsel for suffering the punishment of sin 3. The dishonour that was put upon him and so was Christ under a curse Psal. 22. 7. He was a worm and no man Isa. 53. 3. The least of men the contempt and refuse of men Act. 4. 11. The Stone rejected by the builders Hanging is the death of the poorest and basest of men and thus was Christ used Act. 5. 30. Whom ye slew and hanged on a Tree Act. 2. 23. Whom by wicked hands ye have Crucified and slain Hanging is more then slaying It 's putting him to a base Death that is cursed of God and man and this to be inflicted on a King lineally descended of the Blood Royal the Kingly Tribe of Judah the onely man on Earth that by birth and Law had Title to the Crown of Judea was the worst that men or Devils could do Triuni Deo Gloria To the Reader THere is lately published by Mr Sam.
