THE sentence of death once given against Christ, the execution quickly follows. Away they lead him from Gabbatha to Golgotha, longing as much to be nailing him to the Cross, and feeding their eyes with his torments, as the Eagle doth to be tearing the flesh, and drinking the blood of that Lamb she hath seized in her Talons, and is carrying away to the top of some rock to devour.

The Evangelist here observes a memorable passage that fell out in their way to the place of execution; and that is the Lamentations and Wailings of some that followed him out of the City, who expressed their pity, and sorrow for him most tenderly, and compassionately. All hearts were not hard, all eyes were not dry. There followed him a great company of people, and of women which also bewailed, and lamented him, &c.
In this Paragraph we have two parts (viz.) the Lamentation of the Daughters of Jerusalem for Christ, and Christs reply to them.
