1Did Pilate affix such an honourable vindicating Title to the Cross, Then the Cross of Christ is a dignified Cross. Then the Cross and sufferings of Christ are attended with glory and honour. Remember when your hearts begin to startle at the sufferings and reproaches of Christ, that there is an honourable Title upon the Cross of Christ. And as it was upon his, so it will be upon your cross also, if ye suffer for Christ. Moses saw it, which made him esteem the very reproaches of Christ, above all the treasures of Egypt, Heb. 11.26. How did the Martyrs glory in their sufferings for Christ! calling their chains of Iron, chains of Gold; and their Manacles, bracelets.
