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

3. The wicked Murderers are undaunted, they go on with their work they had in hand, they strip off his garments, and crucify him naked, (unless they had so much modesty as to cover shame) for all the Evangelists put the parting of his garments, at or about the beginning of the time of his hanging o• the Cross: If they had his garments, he was naked, putting upon him as much indignity & shame as they could.

4. They lifted him up on high, that they might fasten him to the cross. This was typified by lifting up the brazen serpent in the wilderness, as Jesus Christ himself testifieth, Joh. 3.14. As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up. Joh. 8.28. When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am he. Joh. 12.32, 33. I, when I am lifted up from the earth will draw all men unto me. This he said signifying what death he should die. By his so dying, he was made conspicuous to all the world, and he draweth all his Elect effectually, and a great part of the world visibly to follow him. Isai. 45.22. Look unto me all ends of the earth and be saved.
