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

Hypocrites though they love their Sins and designs, yet they cannot abide to be seen and discovered. The discovery of a bloody Plot, will make an Hypocrite rage, as it did Judas: but it will make a godly heart very thankful to God that hath prevented his sin: as it was with David, 1 Sam. 25.32, 33. when Abigail did prevent him from murdering Nabal, Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, who sent thee this day to meet me, blessed be thy advice, and blessed be thou that hast kept me this day from coming to shed blood. When the Spirit of God enters with preventing Counsel, the effect is gracious. But if Satan enter with the discovering Sop, he will blow up Hell fire in that bosom, as it was with Judas.

It was after day-light was shut in, for then it is said to be night: it might be near eight of the Clock; for he tarried until the Passover was celebrated. And when Jesus Christ meaneth to institute the Gospel Sacrament of his Supper, he first hushed and hasted away Judas: and when he was gone, then he instituted the Lords Supper, and finished it with a Psalm: and after it he had that gracious Conference recorded by John in Chapters, 13, 14, 15, 16. And after all this, he uttered that gracious mediatorial Prayer, Chap. 17. All these were most heavenly Preparatoryes for his own Sufferings, and the Sufferings of his Disciples, which were not small. And although that word be recorded
