2. The Night thus dispatched, at six in the morning, about sun-rising, our Saviour was brought unto Pilate, and Judas Iscariot hanged himself, because he had betrayed innocent Blood.—About seven in the same morning Christ is carried to Herod, that cruel Tyrant, who the year before had put John the Baptist to death.—At eight of the same day our Saviour Christ is returned to Pilate, who propounded to the Jews, whether they would have Jesus or Barabbas let loose unto them.—About the ninth, (which the Jews call the third hour of the day) Christ was whipped, and crowned with Thorns. About ten, Pontius Pilate brought forth Jesus out of the Common Hall, saying, Behold the man; and then in the place called Gabbatha, he publicly condemned Christ to be Crucified. About eleven our Saviour carried his Cross, and was brought to the place called Golgotha, where he was fastened on the Cross, and lifted up, as Moses lifted up the Serpent in the Wilderness.—About twelve (in that Meridian which the Jews call the sixth hour) that supernatural Eclipse of the Sun happened.—And about three in the afternoon (which the Jews call the nineth hour) the Sun now beginning to receive his Light, Christ cried, It is finished; and commending his Spirit into his Fathers hands, he gave up the Ghost.—I shall add to these; that about four in the Afternoon, our blessed Saviour was pierced with a Spear, and there issued out of his side both Blood and Water.—And about five (which the ⟨p. 341⟩Jews call the eleventh, and the last hour of the day) he was buried by Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus.—So that in this round of our natural day, you see the wonderful transaction of Christ's sufferings. I shall take them in order, and begin with his sufferings in that night before his crucifying. And Jesus said unto his Disciples, 1all ye shall be offended because of me this night: and he said unto Peter, that this day, even in this night, before the Cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice.
