Before I pass on to the manner of Christs death, I shall consider the Title affixed to the Cross: in which very much of the wisdom of providence was discovered. It was the manner of the Romans, that the equity of their proceedings might the more clearly appear to the people, when they crucified any man, to publish the cause of his death in a Table written in Capital Letters, and placed over the head of the crucified. And that there might be at least a show and face of Justice in Christs death, he also shall have his title or superscription.
