Soul saith Christ Know ye not that I have a Baptism to be baptiz'd with And Lo how I long till it is accomplished Thinkest thou not if I would resist I would Pray to my Father and he would give me more than Twelve Legions of Angels to rescue me But how then shall the Scriptures be fulfilled and his Will be done All this is nothing to what I must undergo for thy Salvation Ah my dear God my blessed Jesus let me participate of thy Afflictions let me resign up all to thee who art King over all blessed for ever But my bless●d Jesus What Hall is this we are in What the Judgment-Hall Surely Lord their Feet are swift to shed innocent Blood and their Hearts thirst after Destruction O Annas thou High Prist what take Counsel again Jesus of Nazareth and deliver out of the Treasury thirty Pieces of Silver to cursed Judas to betray his Master better hadst thou delivered out of the Treasury of thy Heart all thy evil Corruptions and implore Mercy at his Feet And now my Soul attend to their Proceedings against thy Lord and see how unmercifully they are with him First they carried him to Annas in order to get Counsel against him but he finding the Witnesses were not fully agreed for one said this thing another that and a third quite contrary gave them longer time to confer about it that they might One and All bring in an Accusation to the Purpose And the better to Effect this he sends them to Caiaphas the High Priest But he upon Examination finding them Confus'd in their Evidence was willing to release him Upon this rusht into the Assembly many false Witnesses but they Contradicting one another also made a very tumultuous Uproar among them At last came in some few who affirmed That he raised Lazarus from the Grave after he had been four Days dead and began to stink which Miracle drew many of the Jews to believe on him and this said they we do not affirm only as a Report but matter of Fact for some of us not only heard him say at the Grave's mouth Lazarus come forth bound Hand and Feet with grave Cloaths about him and a Napkin on his Head Lo this we have both seen and heard with many other things besides O my dear Lord What is it they witness against thee Do they affirm thou raised Lazarus from the Grave What then ye faithless and perverse Generation is it not lawful to do good rather than Evil Verily your Hearts are seared otherwise they would not act contrary to Law and Reason And O holy Jesus who raised up Lazarus to Life raise thou my Soul out of the Grave of Sin to live the Life of Righteousness Then the Chief Priests and Elders with the Scribes and Pharisees farther consulted and said What do we This Man doth many Miracles and if we let him alone all Men will believe on him and the Romans will come and take away our Place and Nation Miserble Jews how fearful are you lest any should venture on him and Believe seeing his Miracles Lord I will freely part with all for thy Sake Yea let who will come and possess this earthly Substance I am content so I may enjoy the Influence of thy blessed Spirit which none can rob me of But Caiaphas said unto them Ye know nothing at all nor consider that it is Expedient for us that no Man should die for the People and that the Nation perish not And this he spake not of himself but God ordered it so that the Prophecy should come out of his own Mouth to condemn him at the last Day And from that time forward they took counsel to put him to Death Hitherto all they did could not accomplish their wicked Designs At last mad at Heart they with a detestable and wicked Resolution contrived to hire two impudent Soldiers to Swear against him in the High Priest's Hall Accordingly the Wretches came and with loud Voices and open Mouths Cryed saying This Fellow said I am able to destroy the Temple of God and raise it in three Days And so indeed he was for he sp●ke nothing but the Truth meaning his Body as the Apostle Paul s●ys our Bodies are the Temple of the Holy Ghost and that in three Days he sh●●ld raise it ●●●m the Grave But neither these Fellows nor his Judges had as yet known the Scriptures ●or Power of G●d Then said the High Priest It is true what these t●o witness against thee ●ut Jesus h●ld his Peace Then said the High Priest I con●ure the● by the ●iving G●d to tell us whether thou art Christ the S●n 〈◊〉 the living God And Jesus when it was put 〈…〉 to him in these three great Truths Art thou Chr●●● the Son of the living God! Answered I am Then the High Priest rent his Cloaths and said What need we any farther Witness against him Ye have all heard how he hath blasphemed what think ye And they all with one consenting Voi●e c●ndemn'd him to be guilty of Death Then they began to Spit on him and to buffet him and strike him with the Palms of their Hands reviling him as a seditous Fellow blindfolding and smiting him on the Face saying Prophecy now unto us thou Christ who is it that smote th●e At last finding they could not agree together as to putting him to Death and to pass Sentence on him for they all agreed in the just Merits of his Condemnation yet he must first be sent to Pontius Pilate their chief Governor And now O my Soul didst thou ever hear such Arrogance Malice and Envy before Could any imagine their Hearts should be so hardened who void of any Pity and Compassion hunted and worried the Lord of Hosts from one Place to another Well might he say Foxes have Holes and Birds of the Air have Nests but the Son of Man have no where to lay his Head O my Soul doth it not make thee tremble to see Christ thy God King and Redeemer haled by rude Soldiers to Condemnation Ah my dear Jesus what made thee descend from Heaven to Earth become Man and be born in an open Stable in such Poverty and Misery but Love celestial Love to make Satisfaction to thy Father for all my heinous Sins committed against thy ever blessed Majesty O dear and wonderful Lord how shall I require thy Love O let me never fall away from Thee nor thy Faith but be stedfast to the End and happy are all they that after they have denied with Peter their Redeemer find a Door of Mercy open to receive them again O Peter dost thou not remember thy Master's Words now What curse and swear you know him not when but a little before you said Though I should Dye with thee yet will I not deny thee How hast thou forgotten thy own Promise and Ingagement made to thy departing and dying Saviour Now Peter art thou in the Gall of Bitterness and in the Blood of iniquity Doth
