But one sweet Look from Christ so took That Peter's Heart did break And bitterly then he did cry To see his Faith so weak They with him trudg to Pilate Judg No Accusations want They with their Lies and Calumnies Over the Lord do vaunt Thou Blasphemer and Conjurer Thou wicked Heretick Cesar can't rule thou call'st him Fool Our King dost contradict Then Pilate saith Who takes an Oath Rebellion he did make Who now can tell he 's culpable Of ought against the State I cannot see Enormity In this Man doth appear Preposterous it is for us To sentence one that 's clear If you 'l release one at the Feast The Feast of Paschal Lamb Determine ye who it shall be The Christ or sinful Man 'T is Barrabbas we will release The other crucify Let all his Blood be on our Head And on our Children lie Some did proclaim they must arraign The Lord at Herod's Bar The President was glad and sent The Galilean there Now tho of late Herod the Great And Pilate were at strife Yet when the Heir comes to their Bar They 'gree to take his Life Herod the Great said Operate Some Wonders in my sight My Humour please or else chastis'd Thou shalt be e're 't is Night But this sage King the most Serene True God and only Wise Humours him not in this his Plot Tho Rage against him rise They him transfer to Pilate's Bar Drest in an Idiot's Coat They him degrade as Fools are made And at the Lord do flout Then Pilate saith Who takes an Oath Let Evidence appear Why he must die at Calvary As if some Premunire We 'l him chastise before your Eyes And so let him depart No they reply him crucify We beg with all our Heart We 'l no King have but Cesar brave He is Legitimate Down with this thing this little King Cesar's the Potentate Then they him scourge which made a purge Our Souls to clarify His sacred Back no stripes did lack Before he went to die Some think with Rods others with Cords Or Wier he was whipt And tied fast unto a Post When he was naked stript In Rancor great his Body's beat O Adamantine Heart They made his Blood run like a Flood From Head and every part Behold the Man said Pilate then In him no Fault I find Away with him said the Obscene To Death he is design'd The President for Water sent To purify his Hands See I am clear from his Blood pure Upon him lay no Bands Pilate may think that Christ will wink At this prodigious Sin O no he sate as Magistrate And Sentence gave on him Who wonder can that Pilate's Hand At last himself should hang When 's Conscience was so faithful as To tell him Christ was King CHAP. XVIII The ARGUMENT One of Messiah 's Learned Disciples interposeth with an astonishing Narrative about his Lord 's being led to execution bound with Cords and the heavy Cross fixt on his Back on which he was crucified and a strong Guard surrounded him all the way to Golgotha And while the Cross was fixing in the Earth they unmantle and strip him to his naked Body which they lift up and nailed to the Cross one Foot on the top of the other with Arms stretched out being plac'd between two Thieves a Crown of Thorns on his Head and an Inscription of Hebrew Greek and Latin as the Custom of the Romans was to all they accounted Malefactors THE most high Lord they bound with Cord And lead to Calvary Fixt on a Cross most ponderous On which he was to die Upon his Back like Isaac The blessed Type of Christ This Cross did lie most heavily Tho he was meek and Just This Innocent 't is like did faint And Humane Nature sail Being so sore with Stripes before And had no time

And said Live Infant live When in our Blood he was so good His saving Grace to give And threw his Skirt on our foul Heart To hide our Nakedness This is the Time of Love the Time He gave us Righteousness A Covenant wherein 's no Want With Sinners made when poor To be his own he gave his Son The Cov'nant to ensure We washed are with Water pure And with the best of Blood Blood 's wash'd away with Blood that Day Death seiz'd the Son of God God did appoint them to anoint With his most precious Oil They decked are with Silk and Hair All clean no longer foul A Chain of Gold the Worth's untold Is put about her Neck The Linen white and broidred Work Doth her most lovely deck Upon her Hands the Bracelet stands Her Head with Jewels set And on the same a glorious Crown With Ear-rings she 's bedect And she did eat the finest Wheat And sweetest Honey too She 's beautiful and doth excel The most Self-righteous Jew Now her Renown and glorious Fame Goes through the Heathen Land She prospers in a blest Kingdom Which never will have End Her Comeliness is Righteousness But this the Lord puts on And Comely through his Comeliness Glory to Grace alone This Spouse excels in glorious smells Myrrh Alloes Cashia Her Garments fine a sweet Perfume Do cast forth every way Within within the Glory 's seen In the King's Daughter true Wrought Gold 's her Garb most richly laid The Bridegroom wears it too At whose right Hand the Queen doth stand In Gold of Ophir fine Her Beauty great makes Christ to speak Thy Beauty is Divine The Father just his Son did trust Before his Incarnation In saving those to Heaven goes In every Land and Nation The Son most just the Father trusts That he Salvation give All the Elect who have their Debt Paid long before they live Their Debt did pay and satisfy Some hundred Years before They Being had by Christ his Blood Or e're they ran in score What 's requisite and what 's most meet In any Advocate Is found in Christ the Meek and Just The only Potentate Who doth delight to see the Spite And Disagreement end Between the King and Men for Sin Therefore his Blood did spend He 's just and meek yea very sweet Most powerful and true And brings God down to love the Man And Man to God does go The Levites pass the Priests make haste From us sweltring in Blood But the good Man Samaritan Stood still to do us good And in the Soul did pour in Oil So heal'd the Wounds of Sin And rather than his Soul should pine His Blood he poured in He covers all our Shame and Fall With Robes of Righteousness And gives to Man a glorious Ring To seal them up to Bliss The fatted Beast is kill'd to feast Those starving Souls of ours O Lamb of God thy Blood was shed In an accepted Hour We Syrians poor and Strangers were In a most forlorn Plight Lay at thy Door of Grace full sore In Darkness without Light Yet saidst thou Live my Grace I give To thee besmear'd with Blood Live Infant live my Son I give To be thy Prince and Head An Head of Sense and Influence Is to his Body dear As from the Root the Branches shoot So Christ the Church doth bear His Lambs he 'l feed a tender Head One Member if but ill A Balsam made of his own Blood Doth from the Heart distil As Branches dry and also die Which from the Vine are cut So every Saint would quickly faint And die if from the Root As many Branches make one Vine And many Grains one Loaf So many Men one Body frame Unite to Christ by Faith Who gave himself for our Souls Health That 's more than Heaven high Ten thousand times ten thousand Tens Come let us for him die A Journey long through Storms a throng Christ came to visit thee His Head with Drops and Dew his Locks Did wet he might thee see Tho Mankind had some Lovers bad When he the Question put He gave his Dove excelling Love By which their Hearts he took But waited long with Patience strong For Floods can't quench his Love Repulses strong often and long Could not make him remove This Bridegroom wrought great Battels fought To him none equal be Few Husbands win their Bride and Kin By Blood as he did thee Mr. Delaun Ear-rings of Gold Riches untold He clothes his Bride withal His Spouse doth dress with Righteousness To beautify the Soul And from all Debts they are acquit By Marriage of the King Who will invest his with the Best A Kingdom without Sin What Monarchs known to leave his Throne For Leprous and Diseas'd And tho forlorn and fill'd with Scorn Yet he with those is pleas'd Some Bridegrooms change new Lovers gain And cast the old away But he loves first unto the last Yea to Eternity The Mother dear her Son most near She sooner can forget Than a Convert with changed Heart Out of his Love can slip The Mountains fast they all shall haste From their most fixed Place Before that he will thee deny Who art in Cov'nant-Grace If any can the Heavens span And measure Sea and Land Then Flesh and Sin and Satan's Gin May pluck them from his Hand If Moon so bright and Stars o th' Night Their Course can change and slip Then may his Love decline his Dove Whom he keeps while they sleep If he can drown the World again Against his fix'd Decree Then may his Love from thee remove Which none shall ever see So we from Justice were discharg'd Upon his dying Day He like a Lamb most patiently Unto the Slaughter's led And drunk the bitter Cup of Death Without a murmuring Word Before the Judgment Seat he stood A Prisoner at the Bar And by his Judgment we are freed Who wretched Prisoners were His Generation is so Great Noble Eternal too None can declare the Number of His Sons and Daughters true In shedding of his precious Blood A numerous Off-spring hath Which none can number nor declare For they fill Heaven and Earth And tho no Violence did act Yet he must make his Grave With wicked and ungodly Men For such he came to save It pleased God his Son to bruise An Offering he might give To have a glorious Church on Earth And with him ever live As Eve came out of Adam's Side So did the Church from Christ She is the Travail of his Soul For whom he groaned much But Satisfaction great hath he After his trav'lling Soul For his Seed he will justify By knowing Christ their All. A Portion with the Great he 'l have And with the Strong divide The Glory of his conquering Strength In spite of Hellish Pride Because he poured forth his Soul To Death both frank and free And took it up in three Days time So got the Victory And now triumphantly is gone Into the Heavens high Having Captivity captive led 'T
