day were we shall observe in their several hours CHAP. II. Of Christ's Indictment and Judas's fearful End ABOUT six in the Morning Jesus was brought unto Pilate's house then led they Jesus from Caiaphas unto the Judgment-Hall and it was early When the Morning was come all the chief Priests and Elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death and when they had bound him and led him away and delivered him to Pontius Pilate the Governour Then Judas which had betrayed him hanged himself O the readiness of our nature to evil When the Israelites would sacrifice to the Golden-calf rhey rose up early in the Morning If God leave us to our selves we are as ready to practise mischief as the fire is to burn without delay But on this Circumstance I shall not long stay the Transactions of this hour I shall consider in these two Passages Christ's Indictment and Judas's fearful End In Christs Indictment we may observe 1. His Accusation 2. His Examination In his Accusation we may observe 1. Who are his Accusers 2. Where he was accused 3. What was the matter of which they do accuse him 1. His Accusers were the chief Priests and Elders of the people the very same that before ha judged him guilty of Death are now his Accusers before the Temporal Judge 2. The place of the Accusation was at the door of the House they would not go into the Judgment-hall lest they should be defiled but that they might eat the Passover See what a piece of Superstition and gross Hypocrisie is here they are curious of a Ceremony but make no strain to shed innocent Blood they are precise about small matters but for the weightier matters of the Law as Mercy Judgment Fidelity and the Love of God they let them pass they honour the figurative Passover but the true Passover they seize upon with bloody and sacrilegious Hands 3. The matter of which they accuse him 1. That he seduced the people 2. That he forbad to pay Tribute to Cesar 3. That he said he was a King How great but withal how false were these their Accusations 2. For his Examination Pilate was nothing moved with any of the Accusations save only the third and therefore letting all the rest pass he asked him only Art thou the King of the Jews To whom Jesus answered My Kingdom is not of this World c. He saith not my Kingdom is not in this World but my Kingdom is not of this World by which Pilate knew well that Christ was no Enemy unto Cesar Christs Kingdom is spiritual his Government is in the very Hearts and Consciences of men and what is this to Cesar Hence Pilate useth a Policy to save Jesus Christ they tell him that Christ was of Galilee and therefore he takes occasion to send him to Herod who was Governour of Galilee 2. Pilate having dismissed Jesus this hour is concluded with a sad Disaster of wicked Judas Then Judas which betrayed him when he saw that he was condemned repented himself c. Now his Conscience thaws and grows somewhat tender but it is like the tenderness of a Boyl which is nothing else but a new Disease There is a Repentance that comes too late Esau wept bitterly and repented him when the Blessing was gone The five foolish Virgins lift up their Voices aloud when the Gates were shut and in Hell men shall repent to all Eternity and such a Repentance was this of Judas about midnight he had received his money in the house of Annas and now betimes in the Morning he repents his Bargain and throws his Money back again The end of this Tragedy was That Judas died a miserable Death he perished by the most infamous hands in the world i.e. by his own hands he went and hanged himself And as Luke he fell headlong and burst asunder in the midst and all his Bowels gushed out In every passage of his Death we may take notice of Gods Justice and be afraid of sins it was just that he should hang in the Air who for his sin was hated both of Heaven and Earth and that he should fall down headlong who was fallen from such an height of honour and that the Halter should strangle that Throat through which the voice of Treason had sonnded and that his Bowels should be lost who had lost the bowels of all Pity Piety and Compassion and that his Ghost should have its passage out of his midst he burst asunder in the midst and not out of his lips because with a Kiss of his lips he had betrayed his Lord our blessed Jesus Here 's a warning-piece to all the world Who would die such a death for the pleasure of a little sin or who would now suffer for millions of Gold that which Judas suffered and yet suffers in Hell for thirty pieces of Silver Now the Lord keep our Souls from betraying Christ or any of his Children and from despairing in God's mercy through Christ Amen Amen I see one sand is run I must turn the Glass now was the seventh hour and what were the Passages of that hour I shall next relate CHAP. IV. Of Christ stripped whipped clothed in Purple and Crowned with Thorns ABout Nine which the Jews call the third hour of the day was Christ stripped whipped clothed with Purple and crowned with Thorns in this hour his sufferings came thick I must divide them into two parts and speak of them severally by themselves 1. When Pilate saw how the Jews were set upon his death he consented and delivered him first to be stripped Then the Soldiers of the Governour took Jesus into the common Hall and gathered unto him the whole band of Soldiers and they stripped him They pulled off his Clothes and made him stand naked before them all He that adorns the Heaven with Stars and the Earth with Flowers and made coats of skins to clothe our first Parents in is now himself stripped stark naked 2. Pilate gave him to be scourged this some think he did upon no other account but that the Jews being satiated and glutted with these Tortures they might rest satisfied and think themselves sufficiently avenged In this scourging of Christ I shall insist on these two things 1. The shame 2. The pain 1. For the shame It was of such Infamy that the Romans exempted all their Citizens from it Is it lawful for you said Paul to scourge a man that is a Roman And when the Centurion heard that he went and told the chief Captain saying Take heed what thou dost for this man is a Roman The Romans looked upon it as a most infamous punishment fit only for Thieves and Slaves 2. For the pain This kind of Punishment was not only infamous but terrible no sooner the Soldiers had their Commission but they charged and discharged upon him such bloody blows as if he had been the greatest offender and basest slave in all the World Nicephorus calls these Whippers bloody
