The other difficulty is, How he will drinkofit in the Kingdom of his Father. t. Some fay, literally after the Refurret4ion on Earth. a. Some fay, that a thoufand years before the end of the World all things than he reftored to the primitive Paradife-ftate, and Chrift reigning on Earth, fhall drink of the fruit of the Vine new, or renewed. 8.

And when they had fang an hymn, they went out into the mount of Olives, 30. N. Whether this Hymn was that ufed by the yews, (whichwere all the 153, I t a, Its, t16, 117, t8, Pfalms,) or tine made for thatule by Chrift,is uncertain: But they all joined, and tell us, how fuitable Thanklgiving and longing Pfalms or Hymns at Sacraments and Feaftsis. 3 r. Then faith Jefus unto them, All ye than be offended becaufe of me this night: for it is written, I will fmite the fhepherd , and the cheep of the flock shall be fcattered abroad. 31. You will all be troubled at my appre- henfron, and be affrighted away from me. as it is written, &c. 32. But after I am rifen again, I will go before you into Galilee. 32. N. Chrift oft fortelling his Refùrretli- on, proverb his Truth s why he would not ap- pear in yerafalem and to all, but in.

Peter raid unto him, Though I Ihould die with thee, yet will I not deny thee. Likewife alto faid all the difciples. 3s. N. When men are refolved, they are oft too infenfible of their weaknefs and muta- bility. 36. Then cometh Jefus with them unto a place calledGethfemane, and faith unto his difciples, Sit ye here whileI go and pray yonder. 37. And he took with him, Peter, and the two Eons ofZebedee, and be- gan tobe forrowful and very heavy. 36, '37. Q. Why did nor Chrift ufe to pray with his Difciples, but by himfelf? ,Anfiv. n. We know not whether he ufed it or nor. 2. He fang a Hymn with them at the Paffbver. But his Cafe fò differed from all other mens, that (except in Thankfgivings and Generale) the fame Prayer would not fuit him and them. 38. Then faith he unto them, My foul is exceeding forrowful, even and to death : tarry ye here; and watch' withme. 38. 'N.
