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

1. We must be speedy in our motions and progress, before the people know that we have apprehended him. For it was about midnight that he was apprehended, ⟨p. 83⟩and brought to Annas and Caiaphas. It was about cocks crowing when he was condemned; he must be put to death and buried before the Sabbath; for if we slack the time, the people will surely rescue him.

2. They considered that we must speedily deliver him out of our hand, into the Roman hand and power, and it must be done early in the morning before the people gather together and hear of it; for otherwise the people will surely rescue him out of our hand; but out of the Romans hand, they cannot, they dare not attempt it.

3. Pilate must be carefully prepared for this matter. Some of us that may be most acceptable to him and prevailing with him, must undertake that matter.
