The sixt Sermon of the Passion.
Matthew .xxvii. 27 Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the common hall, and gathered about him the whole band. 28 And they stripped him, and put upon him a Scarlet Robe. 29 And platted a crown of thorns, & put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand, and bowed their knees before him, and mocked him, saying, God save thee King of the Jews. 30 And spitted upon him, and took a reed and smote him on the head. 31 Thus, when they had mocked him, they took the Robe from him, and put his own raiment on him, and lead him away to crucify him. 32 And as they came out they found a man of Cyrene, named Simon, him they compelled to bear his cross. 33 And when they came to the place called Golgotha (that is to say, the place of dead mens sculls) 34 They gave vinegar to drink, mingled with Gall: and when he had tasted thereof, he would not drink. 35 And when they had crucified him, they parted his garments, and did cast lots, that it might be fulfilled, which was spoken by the Prophet, They divided my garments among them, and upon my vesture they cast lots. 36 And they sate and watched him there. 37 They set up also over his head the cause, written, THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS. 38 And there were two thieves crucified with him, one on the right hand, another on the left. 39 And they that passed by, reviled him, wagging their heads. ⟨image 68⟩40 And saying, thou that destroyedst the temple, and builded st•• in three days, save thy self: If thou be the son of God come down from the cross. 41 Likewise also the high Priests mocking him with the Scribes and Elders, and Pharisees said, 42 He saved others, but he cannot save himself. If he be the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe him. 43 He trusteth in God, let him deliver him now, if he will have him: for he said, I am the son of God. 44 That same also, the thieves which were crucified with him, cast in his teeth.
