timerous Iudge he let goe an arrant Theefe Barrabas and deliuered Iesus to be crucified then before the multitude tooke water and washed his hands saying I am innocent of the bloud of that iust man He confessed him a iust man why then did he giue sentence on him He said he was innocent of his bloud and yet did consent to shed it No no Pilate was guiltie of Christs death and could not shift himselfe of it by taking water and washing his hands What a matter was this Barrabas to be preferred before Christ a murtherer let goe and an innocent person scourged But see enuie they enuied Christs vertues Inuidia est virtutis comes If Pilate had beene a good man finding no cause of death in Christ hee would haue stoode with him to death not for feare or any other carnal respect haue condemned him After the souldiers tooke him in the common hal first they stripped him then they put about him a robe of scarlet on his head they set a crowne of thornes in his right hand they put a reede before him they bowed their knees in mockage saying Auc rex Iudaeorum Afterward they spit on him and with a reed smote him on the head Thus when they had mocked him they tooke the rode from him and put his owne rayment on him and led him away to be crucified What villany was this Christ being God could haue staid their fury yea haue striken them starke dead with a word but hee would not for our sakes If those souldiers had knowne what they did with whom they dealt whose sonne he was from whence he came and whither hee would what power he had they would haue staied themselues but being full of ignorance they did what they did For had they knowne they would not haue crucified the Lord of glory But yet ignorance excused not For ignorance in those which would not vnderstand without doubt is a sinne Ignorance in those which could not vnderstand is a punishment for sin neither is excusable both are damnable We haue heard what Christ suffered before hee came to his crosse that he sweat drops of bloud in mount Oliues that being sorrowfull he prayed earnestly to haue that bitter cuppe passe from him that he was betraied by Iudas with a kisse that hee was forsaken of all his Disciples that he was accused by Caiaphas for a blasphemer that he was denied by Peter thrice that hee was condemned vnder Pontius Pilate It followeth that I speake of his suffering on the crosse Christ being on the crosse suffered reproch of the passers by of the Priestes Scribes and Pharises and of the Theeues The passers by wagging their heades reuiled him saying Thou that destroyedst the temple of God and buildedst it in three dayes if thou be the Son of God come down from the crosse Likewise the Priests Scribes Elders and Pharises mocked him saying He saued others but himselfe can he not saue if hee be the King of Israel let him come downe from the crosse and wee will beleeue him The theeues also doth at the first cast the same thing in his teeth Christ indeede said destroy this Temple and in three dayes I will raise it vp againe The Iewes mistooke him they meant that great temple in Hierusalem which had beene a building fortie and sixe yeeres but he meant the Temple of his body that after they had destroyed mangled and killed it he would raise it from death the third day as in truth he did Now if they had vnderstoode him they would neuer haue mocked him with that saying but seeing him to rise againe haue confessed him to be the Son of God The wicked Priests Scribes and Pharises mocked him saying hee saued others but he cannot saue himselfe If he be the King of Israel let him come downe from the crosse and we will beleeue him Christ indeed saued others all that beleeued in him from the guilt of sinne from eternall death from the tiranny of Sathan from the curse of the law from the wrath of God Himselfe also he saued in that he got the victory and rose againe the third day but these blinde priests Scribes and Pharises vnderstoode not this and therefore they mocked him with it Moreouer Christ could haue come downe from the crosse if he would but he knew it not to be expedient He would not yeeld to their fancies if he had come down they would haue beleeued him neuer a whit the sooner some would haue said he did it for feare of death some to shew what he could doe some for one respect some for an other And therefore CHRIST knowing this yeelded not vnto them but went forward with the worke he had in hand which was by his crosse to appease the wrath of God to satisfie his iustice to make him fauorable vnto sinners by offering a full and perfect sacrifice once for all and therefore he is a priest not according to the order of Aaron which by imperfection did need a successiue but according to the order of Melchisedec and that for euer To proceede from the sixt houre to the ninth there was darknes ouer all the land for the Sunne was darkned About the ninth houre Iesus cried with aloude voice Ely Ely lamasabacthany My God my God why hast thou forsaken mee Behold the Passion of Christ He cried with aloude voice he cried vnto heauen he cried as one forlorne he cried My God my God why hast thou forsaken me No tongue can expresse nor heart conceiue the pangs the paines the punishment which he suffered For the time the paines of the damned the torments of hell fell vpon him which wee for our sinnes had deserued and should haue suffered for euer and euer in hell had not he so suffered on the crosse What terror was this to behold man in his fall God in his wrath sinne in his desert the law in his curse the diuell in his tyranny hell in his torments What terrour was this God in his wrath is a consuming fire man in his fall is a lost cast-away sinne in his desert is a damnable thing the law in his curse is a heauy thunderbolt the diuell in his rage is very terrible hell in his torments is intolerable And what a terrour was this These things Christ did behold nay did suffer and the paine did make him crie aloude My God my God why hast thou forsaken me not that God forsooke Christ at any time but this speech declared that conflict that terrour that torment vvhich no creature beside could haue endured For it cost more to redeeme soules so that a man must let that alone for euer Then most true is that article of our Creede He descended into hell for the time he suffered the paines of hell together with the extreame shame as the victory of sorrowes whilest being held in the graue vntill the third day he lay as it were oppressed of death The vertue of his passion reacheth downe to hell to redeeme
