The eight Sermon of the Passion.
Matthew .xxvii. 55 AND there were many women, beholding him a far of, which followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering unto him. 56 Among which was Mary Magdalen, and Mary the mother of James, and Joses, and the mother of Zebedee's children, 57 When evening was come, there came a rich man from the City of Arimathea, named Joseph, who also had been Jesus Disciple. 58 He went to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus: then Pilate, commanded the body to be delivered. 59 And when Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth. 60 And laid it in his new Tomb, which he had heawen out of the rock, and when he had rolled a great stone to the door of the Sepulchre, he departed.

WE have heretofore seen, and heard how our Lord Jesus hath showed and set forth the fruit and power of his death in this poor thief, who seemed to be as a lost and damned soul. Now, if all they that before had been instructed by the Gospel, had fallen away from it, whenas they see the son of GOD put to death, a man would think that the preaching thereof had been both vain & unprofitable. And besides, we know that the Apostles were chosen to this state of life, to be as the chief rulers in the Church. wherefore it is not like that this election of theirs, to this office and estate, was a vain and frivolous thing.
