was no seducer of the people Herod who had formerly derided our Sauiours silence dareth not to condemne his innocency Ioseph of Arimathea being one of the chiefe Senators retires himselfe into his priuate chamber and will not bee seene at the Bench lest peraduenture he should bee forced to determine something contrary vnto his conscience The malicious Iewes although they suborne false witnesses against our Sauiour yet notwithstanding they testifie publikely before the Iudge that he is not guilty of any crime The same Iewes that exclaimed against him as against a seditious person doe now stile him their King by that writing vpon his crosse whereon hee was adiudged to die Caiphas the high Priest by enthusiasme prophesieth of Christ whom hee persecuteth with a loude voice both accuseth and absolueth him pronouncing the mysterie of our saluation to wit that it was necessary that one should dye for the people The last and worst of our Sauiours aduersaries was the Diuell who although hee earnestly and constantly endeauoured by all assayes to vexe and trouble our Sauiour yet as the Ancients coniecture hee could not but incite Pilates wife to tell him that surely the man that was thus maligned accused and condemned was a iust and righteous man who although at length he suffered death vpon his crosse yet hee suffered it not as an impious and infamous malefactor but as a glorious conquerour God the Father together with his whole family Court of Heauen stood and behelde the pangs and passion of his beloued Sonne on whose shoulders hee had layed the weight of the punishment which euery one of vs in our owne persons should most deseruedly haue endured God who is tearmed of the Prophets a deuouring fire an ouerflowing torrent of wrath as violent as a rough storme of hayle as impetuous as a tempestuous gust of wind maketh our Sauiour the onely butte to receiue the shafts of his fury and indignation Who lying thus wounded and pierced with the sharpenesse of his extreame agonie in respect of which all those tortures inuented by tyrants all those massacres and torments of the holy Martyres were but dreames and loue-trickes is forced not to a duell or single combat but to encounter a multitude and throng of aduersaries Amongst the which hee was to conquer the Diuell that olde Hydra and arch-enemie of mankind Who as hee had beene the cause of the first Adams expulsion so doth hee now attempt no lesse to inthrall and captiuate the second Adam and to cast him into vtter darknesse In the second place he was to vanquish death that had a long time tyrannized ouer all mankind Our Sauiour being to enter the lists with these furious Antagonists was publikely brought along to an infamous place where all wicked persons were put to death which place the people that liued thereabout called it Golgotha a place of dead mens sculs Now the reason why hee was to conflict in this place was as wee may imagine that hee might giue death the foyle euen in its strongest hold wherin it had so long triumphed and erected so many trophees of its victorie that where the first Adam had beene interred euen there by the force of the second Adam the sharpenesse sting of death might be rebated And yet howsoeuer death was there conquered yet not without the death of the conquerour for euen there Christ himselfe was nayled to his crosse in the view both of men and Angels Who although he was brought into that lamentable straight and exigent although hee lay groueling and gasping vnder the heauy burden both of the pangs of death and the paines of Hell and the wrath of his Father yet notwithstanding the loue hee bare vnto man was euen then no lesse entire then euer it was For euen then I say hee saued the theefe at the crosse and prayed for his enemies By and by after he surrendred his blessed Soule into the hands of God What shall I now say vnto you sinfull Iewes by whose barbarous fury and fatall blindnesse the Son of God was crucified What penne can expresse what pencill can decipher your hainous and execrable fact yee haue slaine yee haue slaine the very Author of life the first begotten of God the Creatour of the world the King of Israel yee haue slaine that innocent and immaculate Lambe in whome there was no deceit yee haue slaine the Prince of Peace the Herald of grace and of our reconciliation vnto God Oh that my head were waters and mine eyes a fountaine of teares that I might weepe day and night I will bewayle with the weeping of Iazer the vine of Sibmah I will water thee with my teares O Heshbon and Elealeh For the righteous perisheth and no man layeth it to heart The Lord of Heauen and earth was slaine and no man considereth it O hatefull and hated Nation O cruell and abominable people destitute of wisdome and vnderstanding how forgetfull wert thou of him that begate thee You haue slaine him that brought you out of the land of Egypt that ledde you thorow the wildernesse thorow a land of deserts and pits thorow a land of drought and of the shadow of death thorow a land that no man passed thorow and where no man dwelt You haue slaine him that fed you in the wildernesse euen with the bread of Angels Him that found you in the desert land in the waste howling wildernesse that led you about that instructed you that kept you as the apple of his eye As an Eagle stirreth vp her nest fluttereth ouer her young spreadeth abroad her winges taketh them beareth them on her wings So the Lord alone did leade thee and there was no strange God with thee Bee astonished O yee heauens at this be yee horribly affraide bee yee very desolate Tell it not Gath publish it not in the streetes of Askalon lest the daughters of the Philistines reioyce and the daughters of the vncircumcised triumph That face that vpon Mount Horeb the people could not behold without astonishment nor the Angels themselues with horrour and amazement the wicked Iewes defiled it with spittle and bruised it with staues And not onely so but they euen killed the Lord of Hosts whose name is Iehouah O fanaticke and furious miscreants how could yee dare to murther his Sonne whose Name yee could not vtter without trembling O extreame and sottish impietie no farther to bee remembred then detested O peruerse and wicked generation how are your rebellious hearts wrapt in the filme of ignorance See yee not all the creatures of the world standing agast at the sight of your cruelty See yee not the earth shaken the rocks rent a sunder the graues opened See ye not the glorious beauty of the Sunne masqued with prodigious fogges as defying your dismall fact and not enduring to behold the sadde estate and distresse of its Creatour Alas why stand yee gazing vp towards heauen why stand yee wondring to see the brightnesse and
