YOU have heard the last words of dying Jesus, commending his spirit into his Fathers hands: and now the life of the world hangs dead upon a Tree. The light of the world for a time muffled up in a dismal cloud. The Son of Righteousness set in the region and shadow of Death. The Lord is dead, and he that wears the keys of the grave at his girdle, is now himself to be locked up in the grave.

:1908p. 506

All you that are the friends and Lovers of Jesus, are this day invited to his ••neral. Such a funeral as never was since Graves were first digged. Come see the place where the Lord lay. There are six remarkable particulars about this funeral in these three verses.

:1909p. 506§1

The preparations that were made for it, and that was mainly in two particulars viz. the begging and perfuming of the body. His body could not be buried, till by begging his friends had obtained it is as a favour from his Judge. The dead body was by Law in the power of Pilate who adjudged it to death, as the bodies of those that are hanged, are in the power of the Judge to dispose of them as he pleases. And when they had gotten it from Pilate, they wind it in fine linen clothes with Spices. But what need of Spices to perfume that blessed body. His own Love was perfume enough, to keep it sweet in the remembrance of his people to all generations. However by this they will manifest as they are able, the dear affection they have for him.
