Furthermore when Christ said unto his Disciples the night he knew he should be apprehended that all they should be offended because of him Peter trusting too much to his own strength said Though all Men be offended because of thee yet will not I forsake thee Nay I will suffer death rather than I will deny thee And to perform this promise when Judas came with a multitude of the High-Priests servants with Swords and Staves to take Christ John 18 10. Peter drew out his Sword and smote off the ear of one of the High-Priests servants For whose foolish hardiness Christ rebuked him sharply and bad him put up his Sword Then Peter seeing his Master led away and all his Fellows fled and gone would not seem utterly to forsake his Master but followed afar off and at length in the dark as unknown entered into the Court of Caiaphas And sitting among the Servants warming him by the Fire a Wench came to him and said Art not thou one of this Man's Disciples No said he Yes but thou art quoth another for I did see thee with him in the Garden Peter denied again saying that he did not know him Then certain which stood by knowing Peter said Surely thou art one of them for thy speech doth bewray thee Then began Peter to curse and swear denying that ever he knew him And immediately the Cock did crow Peter now remembring the words of Christ which had said unto him that before the Cock did crow he should deny Him thrice was touched with inward repentance and went out and wept bitterly And after he had lost the presence of his Master 21. cap. he went to his old occupation of fishing again And as he with other his companions had laboured all the night long in vain and were coming to Land Jesus which stood on the shore asked if they had any meat who not knowing what he was said they had none Then cast out your Net quoth he on the right side of the Ship and ye shall speed and so they cast out their Net and were not able to draw it to Land again for the multitude of Fishes that were caught in it And as Peter was haling up the Net and heard John say it was Jesus which stood upon the shore he left the Net and cast himself into the Sea to Jesus This is that Peter upon whose confession Christ when Peter acknowledged him to be the Son of the living God did build his Church Finally Matth. 16.18 to stablish Peter in the office of an Apostle Christ commanded him earnestly three times to feed his sheep Giving him also forewarning of his death Peter a Stone or Rock Phaltiel the Son of Laish 1 Sam. 25. ult would not seem to disobey the will of King Saul when of hatred he had taken 〈◊〉 Daughter Michol from David Lyra saith that Phaltiel was a learnned man And knowing Michol to be David's lawful Wife he reserved her as his Sister and wept for joy that she was without dishonesty restored to David again and gave her to him 〈◊〉 thankfully received her and gently entertained 〈◊〉 so long as the King her Father lived who being dead then David required to have his Wife Michol again And at the day of her deliverance to Abner to be restored to David he brought her on the way and came behind her weeping till they came to a place called Bahurim And there at Abner's commandment he returned home again Pharaoh There be divers * Gen. 12.14 15 c.
