Not to speak yet of those sufferings, which yet we are not come to speak unto; we find here in the way, betwixt the City and the Garden, that Christ went over the Brook Cedron; in the night he wades through cold waters on bare feet; and as he wades through them, he drinks of them, he doth not sip, but drink; he shall drink of the Brook in the way. I know some would not have this Prophecy accomplished till afore Christ's apprehension, when it is said that the rude rout brought him again to Jerusalem, over the Brook Cedron; and then he drunk of the Brook; but I find no mention of this Brook in Scripture at such a time; only now in this way, I find these passages. 1. His Conference with his Disciples as they go along. 2. The Disciples reply upon his Conference. 3. His dolorous passage over the Brook, betokening the very wrath of God.

Christ now begins the story of his Passion; the shepherd shall be smitten; and he proves it from Gods Decree, and from the Prophecy of the Prophet,
