man_n know_v that_o the_o jew_n be_v in_o great_a expectation_n of_o a_o great_a king_n he_o therefore_o examine_v he_o the_o second_o time_n about_o this_o point_n 2._o jesus_n christ_n answer_v he_o by_o propose_v a_o question_n to_o pilate_n heart_n which_o none_o but_o himself_o can_v answer_v unto_o and_o his_o answer_n to_o it_o will_v discover_v the_o spirit_n of_o the_o man_n the_o question_n be_v this_o say_v thou_o this_o thing_n of_o thyself_o or_o do_v other_o tell_v it_o thou_o of_o i_o the_o divine_a depth_n and_o wisdom_n of_o this_o question_n be_v too_o deep_a for_o i_o to_o dive_v into_o but_o it_o seem_v to_o be_v propose_v to_o instruct_v pilate_n that_o if_o he_o cordial_o desire_v to_o know_v that_o great_a truth_n it_o will_v be_v for_o his_o eternal_a good_a and_o benefit_n but_o if_o it_o be_v only_o out_o of_o curiosity_n and_o for_o humane_a discourse_n and_o civil_a end_n only_o than_o it_o will_v profit_v he_o but_o little_a 3._o pilate_n heart_n feel_v he_o and_o seem_v to_o be_v a_o little_a short_a and_o snufty_a at_o it_o and_o make_v two_o reply_n by_o retort_v two_o question_n 1._o be_o i_o a_o jew_n intimate_v that_o his_o heart_n be_v no_o whit_n concern_v in_o that_o great_a question_n about_o the_o kingly_a office_n of_o jesus_n christ_n it_o be_v a_o matter_n that_o concern_v the_o jew_n not_o he_o 2._o he_o return_v a_o quick_a and_o sharp_a question_n with_o the_o reason_n of_o his_o question_n yet_o with_o so_o much_o composure_n of_o mind_n and_o judgement_n that_o he_o first_o express_v the_o reason_n and_o then_o his_o quick_a question_n thy_o own_o nation_n and_o the_o chief_a priest_n have_v deliver_v thou_o to_o i_o as_o a_o condemn_a malefactor_n what_o have_v thou_o do_v 4._o jesus_n christ_n know_v that_o pilate_n already_o know_v the_o worst_a they_o can_v say_v against_o he_o and_o that_o there_o be_v no_o weight_n in_o their_o allegation_n only_o they_o be_v carry_v with_o envy_n and_o wrath_n therefore_o he_o decline_v to_o make_v any_o answer_n to_o his_o quick_a question_n and_o proceed_v to_o answer_v to_o his_o first_o sober_a question_n touch_v the_o kingdom_n of_o jesus_n christ_n wherein_o see_v these_o three_o particular_n 1._o jesus_n christ_n deliver_v a_o doctrine_n my_o kingdom_n be_v not_o of_o or_o from_o this_o world_n as_o author_n or_o constitutor_n thereof_o of_o signifi_v from_o in_o this_o place_n it_o do_v not_o signify_v concern_v for_o the_o kingdom_n of_o christ_n be_v of_o or_o concern_v all_o the_o world_n and_o affair_n thereof_o as_o the_o object_n or_o subject_n about_o which_o it_o be_v exercise_v but_o the_o world_n do_v not_o make_v or_o constitute_v it_o it_o be_v not_o the_o efficient_a of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o jesus_n christ_n 2._o here_o be_v a_o reason_n of_o this_o assertion_n because_o if_o his_o kingdom_n be_v of_o or_o from_o this_o world_n than_o the_o world_n will_v fight_v for_o their_o king_n to_o keep_v he_o out_o of_o the_o hand_n of_o his_o enemy_n the_o jew_n and_o by_o world_n here_o he_o may_v particular_o mean_v the_o roman_n who_o have_v no_o hand_n in_o constitute_v his_o kingdom_n 3._o here_o be_v a_o exegesis_n or_o explication_n of_o this_o doctrine_n in_o these_o word_n my_o kingdom_n be_v not_o from_o hence_o viz._n not_o from_o the_o world_n not_o from_o the_o roman_n 5._o pilate_n be_v soon_o calm_a and_o though_o jesus_n answer_v not_o to_o his_o last_o quick_a question_n whereof_o there_o be_v no_o need_n yet_o see_v he_o answer_v to_o his_o first_o question_n which_o be_v the_o point_n which_o pilate_n desire_v to_o inquire_v into_o he_o accept_v he_o and_o repli_v upon_o he_o and_o ask_v be_v thou_o a_o king_n then_o which_o the_o word_n of_o jesus_n do_v imply_v and_o give_v pilate_n a_o just_a occasion_n to_o propose_v that_o question_n 6._o jesus_n christ_n repli_v to_o pilate_n and_o make_v a_o clear_a confession_n of_o and_o bear_v a_o full_a testimony_n unto_o his_o kingly_a office_n and_o of_o his_o prophetical_a office_n also_o which_o be_v that_o confession_n which_o the_o apostle_n make_v mention_n of_o 1_o tim._n 6.13_o jesus_n who_o before_o pontius_n pilate_n witness_v a_o good_a confession_n wherein_o be_v these_o particular_n 1._o i_o will_v not_o in_o modesty_n express_v that_o word_n concern_v myself_o but_o rest_n in_o that_o which_o you_o have_v express_v you_o have_v implicit_o say_v that_o i_o be_o a_o king_n 2._o i_o add_v unto_o this_o truth_n my_o testimony_n in_o three_o thing_n 1._o to_o this_o end_n i_o be_v bear_v that_o i_o may_v execute_v my_o kingly_a office_n in_o my_o kingdom_n 2._o that_o i_o come_v into_o the_o world_n to_o bear_v witness_n unto_o the_o truth_n which_o be_v my_o prophetical_a office_n and_o by_o my_o prophetical_a office_n i_o bear_v witness_n to_o my_o kingly_a office_n 3._o i_o assert_v that_o everyone_o that_o be_v of_o the_o truth_n viz._n new_a bear_v by_o the_o power_n of_o gospel_n light_n bear_v my_o voice_n viz._n receive_v it_o with_o love_n and_o subjection_n to_o it_o 7._o the_o pagan_a be_v so_o overset_v and_o confound_v with_o these_o glorious_a truth_n which_o be_v so_o much_o above_o he_o and_o no_o doubt_n as_o the_o effect_n prove_v convinse_o set_v on_o that_o he_o only_o propound_v this_o question_n what_o be_v truth_n assure_o the_o question_n be_v a_o wise_a and_o pertinent_a question_n but_o he_o tarry_v not_o for_o a_o answer_n he_o go_v out_o of_o the_o pretorium_fw-la to_o the_o jew_n so_o much_o for_o pilate_n three_o act_n his_o four_o act_n follow_v joh._n 18.38_o pilate_n say_v what_o be_v truth_n and_o when_o he_o have_v say_v that_o he_o go_v out_o again_o unto_o the_o jew_n and_o say_v unto_o they_o i_o find_v in_o he_o no_o fault_n at_o all_o this_o be_v manifest_o a_o second_o time_n of_o pilate_n open_v testify_v the_o innocency_n of_o jesus_n christ_n as_o the_o circumstance_n do_v make_v it_o appear_v for_o his_o first_o testimony_n be_v the_o product_n of_o his_o first_o examination_n luk._n 23.3_o 4._o this_o testimony_n be_v the_o product_n of_o that_o private_a discourse_n that_o pilate_n have_v with_o jesus_n in_o the_o pretorium_fw-la apart_o from_o the_o jew_n his_o accuser_n when_o pilate_n come_v forth_o of_o the_o pretorium_fw-la from_o his_o more_o private_a discourse_n with_o jesus_n and_o bear_v witness_n to_o his_o innocency_n so_o full_o the_o immediate_a effect_n of_o that_o testimony_n upon_o the_o jew_n be_v relate_v only_o by_o luke_n therefore_o in_o lay_v together_o the_o harmony_n of_o the_o evangelist_n i_o turn_v to_o that_o luk._n 23.5_o 6_o 7_o 8_o 9_o 10_o 11_o 12_o and_o they_o be_v the_o more_o fierce_a say_v he_o stir_v up_o the_o people_n teach_v throughout_o all_o

desirous_a to_o see_v he_o of_o a_o long_a season_n because_o he_o have_v hear_v many_o thing_n of_o he_o and_o he_o hope_v to_o have_v see_v some_o miracle_n do_v by_o he_o then_o he_o question_v
