5. After this holy communion, Conference and prayer, Jesus with his Disciples went forth, and entered into the suffering garden, Joh. 18.1. When Jesus had spoken these words, he went forth with his Disciples over the brook Kedron there was a Garden into which he entered with his Disciples: where first he placed his Disciples where they might be within sight and hearing of what should come upon him, but out of the way of Judas and his Company for their safety▪ so careful was our Lord of his poor Lambs, when a company of wolves were to come amongst them. That which he commanded them was, Sit here, till I go & pray yonder. Luk. 22.40. pray that ye enter not into Temptation. Then he took Peter James and John and went a little further. And now did he enter into his Soul-agony, with wonderful horror and distress, even to death.
