Christ is led to Annas.

* 1.1COnsider 1. They brought him to A••••ta•• first. Ponder how Christ would be brought before all the Tribunal seates, for the greater Ignominy. all the Tribunal seates, for the greater Ignominy. Therefore he is led first to Annas as President of the supreme Councel, whereunto it appertained to judge of Doctrines. See with what Clamor, Laughter, and Ignominy, Christ is hurried along the ways and streets, people running every where to their doores and windows to see the Captive. How different was this enterance into Jerusalem, from that which he made, some sew days before, when they cryed out Blessed is be that cometh in the name* 1.2

of our Lord? Hence learn to contemn the incon∣stancy of worldly favor.

* 1.3Consider 2. How Christ is brought as a Crimi∣nal to the Tribunal of this Judge. The Creator stands before his Creature; The Eternal Wisdom of God is brought to the barr, to give account of his Doctrine to an arrogant smatterer in the Law: Behold the Doctors round about him, all puffed up with their learning, Rejoycing as conquerours rejoyce; after a prey is taken. Hear how they question him concerning his Doctrine, and Disciples. Beseech our Lord to instruct you in things appertaining to your salvation, and not to let you harken after vain Sciences, whose fruit is no other then pride, and ostentation.

* 1.4Consider 3. How Christ beareth their re∣proches with silence; but answereth resolutly to the point of Doctrine, because thereon depended the salvation of many. I have openly spoken to the world, &c. Why askest thou me? ask them who have heard, &c. Learn hence to stand resolut in defence of your faith, and of truth; and to be silent in your own privat injuries. See how he saith no∣thing of his Disciples; because being he could not commend them, as staggerers in their faith, he would not say any thing to their dispraife. Doe you in the same manner endevour to hide others defects, when you may, and not to discover them, but to a good end.
