began now to darken This darkness was so great that it spread over all the Land of Jewry some think over all the World so we translate it in Luke And there was a darkness over all the earth 2. About three which the Jews call the ninth hour the Sun now beginning to receive his light Jesus cried with a loud voice Eli Eli Lamasabachthani my God my God why hast thou forsaken me And then that the Scriptures might be fulfilled he said I thirst And when he had received the Vinegar he said It is finished And at last crying with a loud voice he said Father into thy hands I commend my Spirit and having said thus he gave up the Ghost I cannot stay on these seven words of Christ which he uttered on the Cross his words were ever gracious but never more gracious than at this time we cannot find in all the Books and Writings of men in all the Annals and Records of time either such Sufferings or such Sayings as were these last Words and Wounds Sayings and Sufferings of Jesus Christ And having said thus he gave up the Ghost Or as John relates it He bowed his head and gave up the Ghost And now we may suppose him at the Gates of Paradise calling with his last Words to have them opened that the King of Glory might come in 3. About four in the Afternoon he was pierced with a Spear and there issued out of his side both blood and water And one of the Soldiers with a spear pierced his side and forthwith came there out blood and water How truly may we say of the Soldiers that after all his Sufferings they have added wounds they find him dead and yet they will scarce believe it until with a Spear they have search'd for life at the well-head it self CHAP. VIII Giving an account of the manner and place of Christs Burial ABout five which the Jews call the eleventh and last hour of the day Christ was taken down And Mary caused certain Ministers with whom she joyned to take her dead Son from the Cross whose body when she once got free from the nails she kissed and embraced with entertainments of the nearest vicinity that could be expressed by a person that was holy and sad and a Mother weeping for her dead Son She now bathes his cold Body with her warm Tears and makes clean the surface of the Wounds and delivering a winding Napkin to Joseph of Arimathea gave to him in charge to enwrap the Body and embalm it to compose it to the Grave and do it all the Rites of Funeral He obeys her Counsel and ventures upon the displeasure of the Jewish Rulers and went confidently to Pilate and begged the body of Jesus and Pilate gave it to him Joseph therefore takes the body binds his face with a Napkin washes the body anoints it with Ointment enwraps it in a composition of Myrrhe and Aloes and puts it into a new Tomb which he for himself had hewn out of a Rock it not being lawful among the Jews to inter a condemned person in the common Coemeteries for all these circumstances were in the Jews manner of Burying But when the Sun was set the chief Priests and Pharisees went to Pilate telling him that Jesus whilst he was living fore-told his own Resurrection upon the third day and lest his Disciples should come and steal the body and say he was risen from the dead desired that the Sepulcher might be secured against the danger of any such Imposture Pilate gave them leave to do their pleasure even to the satisfaction of their smallest Scruples They therefore sealed the Grave rolled a great stone at the mouth of it and as an ancient Tradition saies bound it about with Labels of Iron and set a Watch of Soldiers as if they had intended to have made it surer than the Decrees of Fate or the never-failing Laws of Nature A Funeral Sermon FOR THAT FAITHFUL AND LABORIOUS Servant of CHRIST Mr. JOHN DVNTON Who Deceased November the 4th 1676. in the 48th Year of his Age. By N. H. Minister of the GOSPEL O Death where is thy sting O Grave where is thy victory 1 Cor. 15.55 LONDON Printed for John Dunton at the Black Raven in the Poultrey over against the Stocks-Market 1684. Introduction DEarly Beloved should a Stranger behold the face of this vast Assembly and see all the honourable Persons here present with the great number of Ministers that are come this day to attend this mournful occasion and such a great confluence of all ranks and qualities in this dejected posture they would say as the Inhabitants of Canaan did when they saw the Mourning for old Jacob in the floor of Arad This is a grievous Mourning to England and would certainly enquire what eminent Person what great Man is this day fallen in our Israel But you who knew the worth of this Excellent Person whose shadow lies there before you do rather wonder that all faces are not covered with blackness and all bodies with Sackcloth and come hither so fully prepared to Mourn that you even long till something be spoken of him that you may ease your hearts a little though it be with weeping I must needs confess I have been so surprized with sorrow my self that I thought it hardly possible for me to undertake this service but that I must have covered over my Affections and his Elogies as the Painters did Agamemnons grief for Iphigenia with a veil of silence But stay a while I beseech you and weep not so abundantly as I see many of you now do till I deliver an Errand from God the ground whereof you shall find in 1 Sam. 25.1 And Samuel died and all the Israelites were gathered together and lamented him and buried him in his house at Ramah DEarly Beloved the work in hand is a Funeral the Party deceased worthy Samuel the Mourners all Israel the place of Burial his own house at Ramah The whole passage penned either by Gad or Nathan as it should seem by the Chronicles at Gods appointment whose Eye follows every Mourner here and therefore it behoves us to follow his voice with our best attentions For my own part I am very sensible of the Difficulties I now sustain for the subject of our Discourse Samuels Funeral is enough to astonish any Israelite for matter it is not easie to say what will be most expediently said and for manner we have things almost incompatible to reconcile plainness and briefness in the same speech The Text gives some advantage by its plainness and fulness yielding matter of large use from two sorts of men of highest quality viz. from Samuel dying and from Israel mourning And first of Samuel he dies And in his death let 's read our own and grow to this conclusion Death is unavoidable Life and Death take turns each of other the man lives not that shall not see Death be he a King with Saul a Prophet with Jeremy a wise
