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

The sufferings of his mind by the reproaches, mocks, blasphemies, taunts, which he heard and saw all this while of his silence, these were a bitter part of his suffering as it is expressed in the Prophesy, Psal. 69.20. reproach hath broken my heart, and I am full of heaviness, and I looked for some to take pity, but there was none, & comforters but found none, vinegar and gall was all that the creatures afford him, ver. 21. The causes of this affliction of his mind are expressed, ver. 19. by three words, reproach, shame and dishonour, which are said to have this effect upon him, reproach hath broken my heart, an heart wound is deeper and more terrible then a bodily wound, ungrateful men pierced and wounded his heart, when he was dying for them. Ovile ingratitude, O infinite patience and pity! the tongues of men did pierce Jesus Christ to the heart, as he hung upon the Cross, they so filled his heart with heaviness, that there was no room for comfort. When he looked for some to pity, and bemoan him, or help him, but there was none that had power to help him, his mother and John stood by, and many more no doubt, but alas they could not help him, be trade the wine press alone, Isai. 63.3.
