THE RITE OF THE LORDS SUPPER
JESUS COMMANDED THE APOSTLES TO
PERPETUATE IN COMMEMORATION OF
HIM THEIR LORD UNTIL HIS SECOND COM
ING. HE THEN LABOURED UNDER GREAT PER
TURBATION OF MIND AND TOLD HIS APOSTLES
THAT ONE OF THEM WOULD BETRAY HIM, PETER
WHO THOUGHT HIS FAITH SUFFICIENT TO OPPOSE
ANY TEMPTATION, DECLARED HIS READINESS TO
SUFFER DEATH ITSELF WITH HIS MASTER, BUT JESUS
REPLIED BEFORE THE 2ND CROWING OF THE COCK TH
IS NIGHT THOU SHALT DENY ME. HE SAID THOUGH I
LEAVE YOU LET THIS COMFORT YOU, THE HOLY GHOST
IS NOT TO COME UNTIL I HAVE LEFT, AND WHEN HE
COMETH HE WILL PLEAD MY CAUSE AGAINST THE WORLD
HE SHALL TEACH YOU ALL THINGS. JESUS THEN WENT
WITH HIS DISCIPLES INTO A GARDEN AT GETHSEMANE
NEAR THE MOUNT OF OLIVES TO PRAYER. AND HIS
AGONY WAS SO GREAT AS TO FORCE SWEAT FROM
HIS BODY AS LARGE AS DROPS OF BLOOD. THE
TRAITOR JUDAS ENTERED THE GARDEN WITH
THE PRIESTS & AN ARMED MULTITUDE, & SEIZ
ED JESUS & BOUND HIM & DRAGGED
HIM TO THE HOUSE OF CAIPHAS
THE HIGH PRIEST.
