This famous Story of our Lord's Entrance into Feruſalem, 18 tt: corded by Mark and Luke alſo: By Mark, Chap. 11. 1. by C4, Chap. 19. 29. There is little Difference in the Relation of '! thus far; afcerwards we ſhall find more. I ſhall confider whit they all ſay, that I may ar once give the Story perfet, 1k faith, Bethpage and Bethany : He faith, Tou ſhall find a Colt tied, whereon never Man ſate. Luke hardly varieth ar all from Mark, ® leaſt in nothing conſiderable. Our Lord was come now very lg! Feruſalem; Bethany was bur Fifteen Furlongs from Jeruſalem, al was about two Miles, wanting an eighth part, Joh. 11. 18. was the Town of Lazarus, Fohn 11. 1, Matthew names 00) Bethpage, which was a place ar the ſame Diſtance, ar the Foot! the Mount of Olives, 1o called from the Plenty of OliveTiet growing there : This Mount was betwixe Feruſalem and 5": page. Iris like our Saviour was at both theſe Towns, for 314% and Lube name both. From one of them he ſendeth rio his Diſciples ro a Village near Hand, telling them they _ there find, at their Entrance in, an 4/9 tied with a Colt, which yet never Man ſate. Mark and Luke only mention the Colt, be-
cauſe Chriſt rode only upon the Colt. Matthew mentions nf
Als, for the fulfilling of the Prophecy, of which we ſhall _— In the next Verſes. (Looſe them, and bring them to me - Al j any Man ſay ought unto you, ( which he knew they would, For Mark and Luke tells us they did ) Tour: ſhall ſay, The Lord -
