Verse 66. So they went and made the sepulcher sure]

And now they seemed to dance upon Christs grave, as thinking them∣selves cock-sure of him. So did those bloody tyrants of the Primi∣tive times (who proudly engraved upon pillars of marble, Nomine Christianorum deleto, qui Remp. evertebant,) make no other reckoning, but to raze out the name of Christ from under heaven. Therefore also they did not only constitute laws and proclamati∣ons against Christians, but did engrave the same laws in tables of brasse; meaning to make all things firm for ever and a day. But he that sat in heaven, and said, Yet have I set my King upon my* 1.1 holy hill of Sion, laughed at them, Jehovah had them in derisi∣on. Look how Daniel was innocently condemned, cast into the lions den, had the door sealed upon him, and to see to, no hope or means of life was left him; and yet, by Gods good providence, he came forth untouched, and was made a greater man then ever: So our blessed Saviour was innocently condemned, cast into the grave, sealed up among the dead, and to common judgement left as out of minde: yet early in the morning, at the time appoint∣ed by the power of his deity, he raised himself from death, and gloriously triumphed over it and hell. Now thanks be unto God* 1.2 which also causeth us to triumph in Christ, having as prisoners of hope, brought us out of the pit by the blood of the covenant, Zech. 9. 11, 12.
