PARA. 9.
ANd now by this time, or there abouts, is exhausted, the third part of the sixth houre, or more; and the middle quarter of the houre spaced for their second Supper. I will not grant (saith Barradius) that Christ had a supping garment, for he laid downe his owne garments; not the supping garment, (saith he) as if Christ borrowed a supping garment, and had none of his owne. And there was little ho∣nesty, or modesty to have a supping garment on his naked body (saith he) as if hee might not have both his owne clothes, and a supping garment also, and yet keepe others on; for no good Christian will thinke, he stripped himselfe to nakednesse, when he laid aside his garments: Barradius without ground, saith, Christ had a cloake; Euthymius on Matth. 26. saith, some thought Christ had on five Vestments; himselfe judgeth he had three. That this was at Supper time cannot be proved; and is not said. At his Passion indeede, the Pasmist foretelleth in the plurall num∣ber: They shall, or will divide my garments, as it is in the Hebrew, Psal. 22.18. The 70. read 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, first, and 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 after. Our Printers of the last Translation, have it in the Singular in both places: They parted my garment among them: and cast lots upon my vesture. But because they had parted them indeede, it is said, Matth. 27.35. as in the time passed, They parted his garments (in the Plurall) casting lots: and the Psalmist is divinely cited; as speaking first of his ordinary garments; secondly, of that excellent coate without seame: They parted my garments among them (there is the Plurall number) and upon my vesture did they cast lots: and the Singular is meant of the goodly seamelesse coate, wrought from the top throughout, Ioh. 19.24.
