ND when the evening was come (because it was the preparation before the Sabbath) Jofeph of Arimathea, a noble decurion, who also was expecting the kingdom of God, came and went boldly to Pilate, and begged the body of Jefus. But Pilate wondered that he was dead already. And having fent for the Centurion, he afked him, if he was dead already. And when he knew it from the Centurion, he gave the body to Jofeph. And Jofeph having bought a linen winding-fheet, and taken him down, wrapped him in the winding-sheet, and laid him in a fepulchre that was hewn out of a rock: and he rolled a stone at the entrance of the fepulchre.

I have trodden the wine-prefs alone: and of the Gentiles there is not a man with me: I have trodden them in my fury, and trampled on them in my anger: and their blood is fprinkled on my clothes, and I have ftained all my garments. For the day of revenge is in my heart: the year of my reward is come. I looked about, and there was none to help me: I fought, and there was none to affift me: and my own arm faved me, and my own indignation helped me. And I trod down the people in my fury, and I made them drunk in my indignation, and I brought their ftrength down to the ground.

And he shall shoot up like a young fprig before him, and like a fucker from dry ground: he hath no form nor beauty and we faw him, and he had nothing fightly, that we should defire him as being despised and the last of men, a man of forrows and acquainted with infirmity: his countenance was, as it were, hid, and despicable, wherefore we valued a Or, We knew him not.

him not. He hath truly taken on himself our infirmities, and hath borne our forrows and we looked on him as a leper, and as one ftruck by God, and afflicted. But it was for our iniquities he was wounded, and for our crimes was he bruifed: the chaftifement for making our peace fell upon him, and by his bruifes were we healed. We were all gone aftray like fheep, every one had turned afide to go his own way: and the Lord laid upon him the iniquities of us all. He became an oblation, because he himself would, and he opened not his mouth: he fhall be led like a fheep to the flaughter, and like a lamb before the fhearer fhall he be dumb, and open not his mouth. He was taken from confinement and from judgment ". Who fhall declare his generation? For he was cut off from the land of the living: for the wickedness of my people have I ftruck him. He fhall give the impious for his burial, and the rich for his death: because he did no evil, nor was deceit found in his mouth and the Lord was pleased to crush him in his weakness. If he fhall lay down his life for fin, he fhall fee a long pofterity, and the will of the Lord fhall be fulfilled by his hand. For that his foul hath laboured, he fhall fee and be fatisfied. This my righteous fervant fhall make many righteous by his doctrine; and he fhall bear their iniquities. Therefore will I beftow upon him many, and he shall distribute the fpoils of the ftrong: because he hath delivered up his life to death, and was numbered with the wicked: and he bore the fins of many, and prayed for such as tranfgreffed.

The PASSION of our Lord JESUS CHRIST acccording to Luke, Chap. xxii.

T that time: The feast of unleavened bread, which is called the Passover, drew near: and the chief priests and Scribes fought how they might put Jefus to death, but they feared the people. And Satan entered into Judas, one of the twelve, who was furnamed the Ifcariot. And he went and talked with the chief priests and magiftrates, how he might betray him to them. And they were glad, and bargained to give him money. And he promifed to do it. And he fought an opportunity to betray him without any tumult. And the day of unleavened bread being come, on which it was neceffary the Passover fhould be killed: Jefus fentPeter and John, faying: + Go and prepare for us. the Passover, that we may eat it. C. And they faid: S. Where wouldst thou have us make it ready? C. And he said to them: + Behold, as you go into the city, there will meet you a man carrying a pitcher of water: follow him into the house where he goeth, and you fhall fay to the mafter of the house: The Mafter faith to thee: Where is the room, where I may eat the Passover with my difciples ? And he will fhew you a large room ready furnished, and there make ready. C. And they going found every thing as he had told them, and they got ready the Paffover. And when the hou was come, he went to table, and the twelve apoftles with him. And he faid to them: I have earneftly defired to
