COnsider how at Herods howse our Sauiour is re∣ceaued with new contempts, and con∣tumelies: their vnsatiable malice not being a whitt satisfied with all the paine they had alreadie put him vnto. See them inuest the eternall wisdome of his father, in a white garment, in manner of a foole; to be led in that equipage through the populous streetes, as a theefe or malefactor. See how humbly, how patiently, and mildely
he performes this Procession; and all this for our sake and example, for loue &c.
[Affect.] O my soule, my soule! what is it that he hath refused for our sakes? what could he haue done which he did not! could any thing haue been more contrary to wisdome it selfe, which he is; then to bee esteemed, as a naturall foole? And this he would vndergoe for loue of vs; and can we proue so vnkind, as not to requite him in what we are able? shall not the white habites we weare for his sake, be deare vnto vs, in memorie of his white gar∣ment? shall wee not willingly indure the gibes and scornes of others, while our owne conscience assures vs we doe well? &c.
