(1) Our Lord here tells Peter, that before the Cock crew he fhould deny him thrice; but St. Mark, Chap. 14. 68. fays, that after the first Denial the Cock crew. This Difficulty will be removed, by observing, that both Heathen and Chriftian Writers tell us, that the Cock crows twice, once about Midnight, and again, about break of Day, or at the fourth Warch And this latter crowing of the Cock being the loudeft, and moft fhrill and chearful, is emphatically called the Cock-crowing. When St. Mark therefore fays, that on Peter's firft Denial the Cock crew, he muft mean that Crowing which is about Midnight, and is not diftinguished by that Time which is emphatically called the Cock-crowing. This appears from St. Mark's fpeaking of this twofold Crowing of the Cock, Chap. 14. 3. Whereas St. Matthew and St. John mention but one time of the Cock's crowing; and therefore means that which is properly fo called, before which St. Peter had thrice denied his Lord and Maiter. ye exceeding forrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with me. 39. And he went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed, faying, O my Father, if it be poffible, let this cup pafs from me: nevertheless, not as 'I will, but as thou wilt. 40.

He went away again the second time, and prayed, faying, O my Father, if this cup may not pais away from me, except I drink it, thy will be done. 43. And he came and found them afleep again: for their eyes were heavy. 44. And he left them, and went away again, and prayed the third time, faying the fame words. 45. Then cometh he to his difciples, and faith unto them, Sleep on now, and take your reft; behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of finners. 46. Rife, let us be going: behold, he is at hand that doth betray me. 47. And while he yet fpake, lo, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with Joh. 18.1, 2. When Jefus had fpoken thefe Words, he went forth with his Difciples over the Brook Cedron, where was a Garden, into which he entred, and his Difciples.

Now he that betrayed him, gave them a fign faying, Whomfoever I fhall kifs, that fame is he, hold him faft. 49. And forthwith he came to Jefus, and faid, Hail mafter, and a kiffed him. 50. And Jefus faid unto him, Friend, Wherefore art thou come? Then came they and laid hands on Jefus, and took him. 51. And behold, one of them which were with Jefus, ftretched out his hand, and drew his fword, and struck a fervant of the high priests, and fmote off his ear. 52.
