it_o be_v a_o thousand_o time_n more_o easy_a to_o suffer_v the_o death_n of_o a_o martyr_n than_o for_o christ_n to_o suffer_v bare_a death_n of_o any_o kind_n because_o martyr_n in_o death_n be_v

our_o saviour_n he_o have_v many_o other_o more_o dreadful_a thing_n to_o think_v of_o as_o first_o the_o tyranny_n of_o sin_n death_n and_o satan_n that_o have_v prevail_v over_o mankind_n second_o

and_o therefore_o do_v pity_v they_o and_o will_v suocour_v they_o second_o by_o consider_v that_o christ_n have_v bear_v in_o his_o own_o soul_n the_o brunt_n of_o god_n displeasure_n for_o sin_n

into_o the_o hand_n of_o unreasonable_a man_n whether_o in_o the_o ecclesiastical_a or_o civil_a court_n but_o if_o at_o any_o time_n without_o our_o fault_n we_o shall_v have_v experience_n of_o

our_o bless_a saviour_n before_o i_o leave_v this_o part_n of_o his_o passion_n one_o question_n may_v be_v ask_v and_o that_o be_v why_o our_o saviour_n hold_v his_o peace_n when_o the_o false_a

to_o this_o question_n we_o may_v conceive_v that_o our_o saviour_n be_v silent_a for_o these_o reason_n 1._o because_o he_o know_v that_o he_o come_v thither_o to_o suffer_v not_o to_o defend_v

that_o by_o his_o patience_n and_o silence_n he_o may_v intimate_v the_o vanity_n of_o their_o accusation_n and_o the_o falseness_n of_o it_o 4._o that_o the_o scripture_n may_v be_v fulfil_v that_o

saviour_n in_o the_o ecclesiastical_a court_n now_o follow_v the_o thing_n he_o suffer_v in_o the_o civil_a court_n before_o pontius_n pilate_n and_o here_o first_o in_o general_n we_o may_v consider_v the_o reason_n why_o christ_n will_v be_v judge_v in_o the_o political_a court_n of_o justice_n and_o he_o do_v it_o 1._o that_o his_o innocence_n may_v be_v make_v more_o public_a which_o fall_v out_o as_o appear_v by_o the_o story_n in_o many_o thing_n 2._o that_o so_o he_o may_v be_v sentemce_v to_o die_v by_o the_o ordinary_a judge_n for_o the_o jew_n have_v not_o power_n to_o put_v any_o man_n to_o death_n 3._o that_o so_o it_o may_v appear_v that_o the_o gentile_n have_v interest_n in_o his_o death_n as_o well_o as_o the_o jew_n and_o therefore_o the_o gentile_n lay_v their_o hand_n upon_o the_o head_n of_o this_o sacrifice_n 4._o that_o the_o cruelty_n and_o unequal_a deal_n of_o the_o chief_a priest_n and_o their_o counsel_n may_v be_v more_o manifest_a when_o it_o shall_v appear_v that_o the_o political_a judge_n shall_v use_v christ_n with_o more_o respect_n than_o they_o do_v and_o thus_o it_o often_o come_v to_o pass_v still_o in_o the_o case_n of_o his_o minister_n and_o servant_n quest_n but_o why_o must_v he_o be_v judge_v by_o pilate_n a_o gentile_a a_o deputy_n of_o the_o roman_a caesar_n answ_n even_o that_o be_v not_o without_o special_a cause_n for_o first_o christ_n seem_v to_o say_v himself_o that_o god_n have_v give_v that_o power_n to_o pilate_n to_o put_v christ_n to_o death_n joh._n 19_o 10_o 11._o second_o it_o have_v be_v note_v before_o that_o by_o this_o circumstance_n it_o appear_v that_o the_o sceptre_n be_v now_o depart_v from_o judah_n and_o therefore_o jesus_n be_v that_o shiloh_n that_o shall_v come_v and_o here_o by_o the_o way_n they_o of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n may_v learn_v that_o churchman_n must_v abide_v the_o judgement_n of_o lay_v judge_n yea_o though_o they_o be_v of_o a_o false_a religion_n christ_n yield_v himself_o to_o be_v judge_v by_o pilate_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v a_o trick_n of_o antichrist_n to_o refuse_v it_o now_o in_o the_o arraignment_n of_o our_o saviour_n before_o

of_o the_o literal_a sense_n of_o the_o story_n it_o be_v very_o probable_a that_o our_o saviour_n that_o take_v occasion_n when_o he_o first_o call_v his_o disciple_n from_o their_o fish_n to_o

that_o the_o best_a place_n to_o fish_n in_o be_v the_o sea_n and_o not_o small_a river_n or_o brook_n the_o place_n to_o catch_v soul_n be_v those_o where_o there_o be_v the_o great_a multitude_n

christ_n be_v present_a with_o his_o servant_n in_o the_o work_n or_o when_o they_o have_v not_o success_n though_o they_o discern_v he_o not_o 7._o that_o it_o be_v the_o special_a providence_n of_o

the_o ministry_n of_o his_o servant_n even_o when_o it_o be_v not_o look_v for_o but_o it_o be_v very_o rare_a as_o be_v the_o great_a draught_n of_o fish_n 11._o that_o a_o powerful_a and_o

of_o love_n to_o christ_n 13._o that_o it_o be_v great_a deal_n of_o business_n to_o get_v even_o godly_a people_n to_o heaven_n as_o here_o the_o disciple_n have_v a_o great_a toil_n in_o it_o to_o

a_o special_a sense_n final_a impenitency_n in_o any_o sin_n be_v unto_o death_n but_o than_o it_o have_v not_o the_o description_n go_v before_o nor_o do_v i_o mean_v that_o it_o can_v be_v know_v

mercy_n or_o christ_n merit_n but_o because_o god_n have_v resolve_v to_o show_v his_o justice_n upon_o this_o sin_n without_o mercy_n and_o because_o in_o that_o way_n of_o save_v of_o man_n which_o god_n have_v now_o resolve_v upon_o all_o mean_n of_o salustion_n be_v disappoint_v to_o the_o uttermost_a else_o if_o they_o can_v repent_v god_n can_v forgive_v and_o this_o justice_n of_o god_n may_v not_o seem_v strange_a since_o he_o declare_v himself_o willing_a to_o forgive_v all_o sin_n and_o do_v except_v but_o this_o one_o now_o the_o explication_n of_o this_o sin_n shall_v serve_v
