27._o to_o 32._o now_o whereas_o saint_n john_n chap._n 19_o 1_o 2_o 3._o mention_v that_o diverse_a of_o these_o thing_n be_v do_v before_o the_o sentence_n to_o move_v the_o people_n to_o pity_v

do_v in_o scorn_n god_n do_v in_o earnest_n for_o all_o these_o thing_n be_v ensign_n of_o his_o kingdom_n second_o hence_o we_o may_v gather_v how_o senseless_o and_o scornful_o the_o man_n of_o this_o world_n do_v judge_v of_o the_o kingdom_n and_o glory_n of_o jesus_n christ_n it_o be_v so_o far_o remove_v out_o of_o their_o sense_n and_o judgement_n that_o they_o account_v it_o but_o

by_o pilate_n and_o the_o soldier_n he_o be_v not_o able_a to_o carry_v it_o any_o further_a they_o compel_v one_o simon_n of_o cyrene_n to_o carry_v it_o to_o the_o place_n of_o execution_n our_o

their_o affliction_n be_v christ_n affliction_n as_o paul_n say_v of_o his_o suffering_n coloss_n 1._o 24._o three_o this_o simon_n be_v a_o cyrenian_a a_o stranger_n to_o christ_n and_o not_o a_o
