Isay 53. And he gave his burial, with the wicked, and with the rich in his death: albeit he had committed no iniquity, neither was there deceit in his mouth. This prophecy was fulfilled, Joh. 19. verses 38.39.40. where the Lord is buried by Joseph of Arimathea. The figure of Jonah is applied also to this by the Lord himself. Mat. 12. vers 39.40. And in the 13. of Mark, when Jesus was at Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, when he was set down a woman came having an alabaster box of Spikenard very costly, and breaking the box, she poured it on his head. ⟨p. 166⟩Now many disdained and were offended amongst them selves saying, to what end is this wast of the ointment? For this might have been sold for more, then three hundred pence, and given to the poor; and they raged against her: But Jesus said, let her alone: why trouble you her, she hath wrought a good work on me. For the poor you shall have always with you, & when you will you may do them good, but me you shall not have. She hath done that she could. For she came afore hand to anoint my body to the burying. These things hath Mark. Where we see that the holy ghost by a secret instinct through that woman, hath in that same visible ointment, set before the eyes of all, as it were a visible prophecy of the death and burial of Christ.
