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

2. This Soul Agony is expressed by Jesus Christ himself who felt it, in such significant words as do make it appear to be a very extreme torment that he was in. Sorrowful, or so beset round with sorrows, and he was ready to faint and die away, he felt the greatest terror, consternation, and distress of mind, that a mans Soul was capable to be in, yea, his terror was greater, then any one was able to bear except himself who is God-man.

3. This distress of Soul was begun five days before the Passover, as appeareth Joh. 12.27. now is my Soul troubled & what shall I say? Father save me from this hour, but for this cause came I unto this hour. That this was spoken five days before the Passover, appears, Joh. 12.1. six days before the Passover Jesus came to Bethany, & v. 12. on the next day much people were come to the Feast, and then Jesus went up to Jerusalem, and then was this word spoken by him, so that he had been long in some degrees of this Agony, yea, long before his Soul was distressed about it, Luke 12.50. but I have a Baptism to be baptized with, and how am I straitened, pressed, pained till it be accomplished, so that that Prophesy is herein (in part) accomplished, Isai. 53.3. ⟨p. 69⟩
