confcience of fins. But in thofe facrifices there is a re membrance again made of fins every year. For it is not poffible that the bloud of bulls and of goats fhould take away fins: Wherefore when he cometh into the world he faith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but body haft thou prepared me: In burnt-offerings, and facrifices for fin thou haft had no pleasure: then faid Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me) to do thy will, O God. Above, when he faid, Sa crifice and offering,and burnt-offerings, and offering for fin thou wouldeft not, neither hadft pleasure therein which are offered by the law: Then faid he,Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the fecond. By the which will we ar fanctified, through the offering of the body of Jefu Christ once for all. And every prieft ftandeth daily miniftring, and offering oftentimes the fame facrifices which can never take away fins. But this man after h had offered one facrifice for fins, for ever fat down o the right hand of God; from henceforth expecting til his enemies be made his foot-stool. For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are fanctified Whereof the holy Ghoft alfo is a witness to us: For af ter that he had faid before, This is the covenant that will make with them after those days, faith the Lord I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their mind will I write them, and their fins and iniquities will remember no more. Now where remiflion of thefe is there is no more offering for fin. Having therefore bre thren, boldnefs to enter into the holieft by the bloud of Jefus, by a new and living way, which he hath confe crated for us, through the vail, that is to fay, his fiel and having an High prieft over the houfe of God; le us draw near with a true heart,in full affurance of faith having our hearts fprinkled from an evil confcience,and bur bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold fa e profeffion of our faith without wavering: (for he

is faithful that promifed) And let us confider one arother to provoke unto love,and to good works; not forfaking the aflembling of our felves together,as the manner of fomelis,but exhorting one another: and fo much the more, as ye fee the day approching.

The Gospel, S. John 19. 1.

Ilate therefore took Jefus and scourged him. And the fouldiers platted a crown of thorns, and put it on his head, and they put on him a purplerobe,and faid, Hail king of the Jews and they fmote him with their hands. Pilate therefore went forth again, and faith urto them, Behold, I bring him forth to you,that ye may know that I find no fault in him. Then came Jefus forth, wearing the crown of thorns,and the purple robe. And Pilate faith unto them, Behold the man. When the chief priests therefore and officers faw him, they cried out, faying, Crucifie him, crucifje him. Pilate faith unto them, Take ye him, and crucifie him: for I find 10 fault in him. The Jews anfwered him, We have a law, and by our law he ought to die, because he made umfelf the Son of God. When Pilate therefore heard hat faying, he was the more afraid; and went aga n nto the judgment-hall, and faith unto Jefus, Whence rt thou? But Jefus gave him no answer. Then faith Pilate unto him, Speakeft thou not unto me? knowest hou not that I have power to crucifie thee, and have power to releafe thee? Jefus answered, Thou could eft have no power at all against me, except it were given hee from above: therefore be that delivered me unto hee hath the greater fin. And from thenceforth Pilate ought to releafe him but the Jews cried out, faying, f thou let this man go,thou art not Cefars friend:Whobever maketh himself a king, fpeaketh against Cefar. When Pilate therefore heard that faying, he brought Jeus forth and fat down in the judgment-feat,in a place hat is called the Pavement, but in the Hebrew, Gabatha. And it was the preparation of the paffover, and

about the fixth hour: and he faith unto the Jews, Be hold, your king. But they cried outy Away with him, away with him, crucifie him. Pilate faith unto them Shall I crucifie your king? The chief priests answered We have no king but Cefar. Then delivered he him therefore unto them to be crucified: And they took Je fus and led him away. And he bearing his crofs, went forth into a place called the place of a fcull, which is called in the Hebrew, Golgotha where they crucified him, and two other with him, on either fide one, and Jefus in the midft. And Pilate wrote a title, and put it on the crofs. And the writing was, JESUS OF NA ZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS. This title then read many of the Jews for the place where Jefus was crucified was nightto che citys: and it was written in Hebrew, and Greek, and Lafine. Then faid the chief prieft of the Jews to Pilate, Write no The king of the Jews; but that he faid, I am the king of the Jews. Pilate anfwered, What I have written I have written. Then the fouldiers, when they had crucified Jefus,took his garments, (and made four parts to every Touldier a part) and alfo his scbatgrinolithe coat was without Team, woven from the top through out. They faid therefore among themfelves Letus not rend it, but caft lots for it, whofeqt fhall be that the fcripture might be fulfilled, which faith; They parted my raiment among them, and for my vefture they did caft lots Thele things therefore the fonddiers did. Now there food by the Jerbs of Jefus this mother and his mothers ft Mary wife of abophase and Mary Magdalene. When goals therefore daw his mother, and the difciple ftanding by, whom he loved, he faith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy fonThen faith he to the difciple, Behold thy mother. And from that hour that disciple took her to his own home. After this, us knowing that all things were movercbomplilhed, the feripture might be fulfilled faith, bitbirk. Now

there was fet a veffel full of vineger and they filled a Spunge with vineger and put it upon hyflop,and put it to his mouth. When Jefus therefore had received the vineger, he faid, It is finished; and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghoft. The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, that the bodies fhould not remain the crofs on the fabbath-day, (for that fabbath-day was an high day), befought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away. Then came the fouldiers, and brake the legs of the first, and of the other which was crucified with him. But when they came to Iefus, and faw, that he was dead already. hey brake not his legs. But one of the fouldiers with fpear pierced his fide, and forthwith came there out loud and water. And he that faw it bare record, and is record is true: and he knoweth that he faith true, hat ye might believe. For thefe things were done that he fcripture should be fulfilled, A bone of him hall not e broken! And again, another Scripture faith, They all look on him whom they pierced.

WH Hen the even was come,there came a rich ma of Arimathea, named Jofeph, who alfo himfelf was Jefus difciple. He went to Pilate, and begged the body of Jefus. Then Pilate commanded the body to be delivered. And when Jofeph had taken the body he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth, and laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewen out in the rock; and he rolled a great stone to the door of the fepulcher, and departed. And there was Mary Magdalene, and the other Mary, fitting over against the fepulcher. Now the next day that followed the day of the preparation the chief priests and Pharifees came together unto P late, faying, Sir, we remember that that deceiver faid while he was yet alive, After three days I will rif again. Command therefore that the fepulcher be mad fure until the third day, left his difciples come by nigh and steal him away, and lay unto the people, He is rife from the dead: fo the laft errour fhall be worse then the firft.
