The harmony of the Gospels in the holy history of the humiliation and sufferings…

Jesus Christ did voluntarily bear for us the reproaches, cruel mockings, derisions, scoffs, and d•spisings of the People, David hath abundantly prophesied of Christ in this Book of Psalms, and in particular he hath said much of this kind of his sufferings, for David was a Type of Jesus Christ, and eminently he is so in his sufferings therefore I shall lay together some Texts of Scripture, and especially out of the Book of Psalms, which set forth this point, and I choose to express these sufferings of Christ in the Scripture words, which carry a greater fullness of sense and Spirit then any words that I can speak or write, are capable to do.

Psal. 22. is expressly spoken of Jesus Christ, and ver. 6, 7, 8. I am a worm and no man, a reproach of men, and despised of the people, all they that see me laugh me to scorn, they shoot out the lip, and shake the head, saying, he trusted in the Lord that he would deliver him, let him deliver him, seeing he delighted in him, Psal. 35.11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 21. false witness did rise up, and laid to my charge things that I knew not, they rewarded me evil for good to the spoiling of my Soul, But as so me, when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth: I humbled my Soul with Fasting, and my prayer returned into mine own bosom I behaved my self as though he had been my friend, or brother: I bowed down heavily as one that mourneth for his mother. But in mine Adversity they rejoiced, and gathered themselves together; yea, the abjects gathered themselves together against me, and I knew it not, they did tear me, and ceased not. With hypocritical mockers in Feasts; they gnashed upon me with their Teeth. LORD, how long wilt thou look on? rescue my Soul from their destruction, my darling from the Lions. Yea, they opened their mouth wide against me, and said, Aha, aha, our Eyes hath seen it.
