Lastly, Whereas it might be conceived that they eat the Passover standing rather than sitting, or lying down, according to the Institution, _Exod._ 12. [SN: _Ceremonies of the Passover omitted._] Thus shall you eat, with your loins girded, your shooes on your feet, and your staff in your hand; the _Jews_ themselves reply, this was not required of succeeding generations, and was not observed, but in the Passover of _Ægypt_. And so also many other injunctions were afterward omitted, as the taking up of the Paschal Lamb, from the tenth day, the eating of it in their houses dispersed; the striking of the blood on the door posts, and the eating thereof in hast. Solemnities and Ceremonies primitively enjoyned, afterward omitted; as was also this of station, for the occasion ceasing, and being in security, they applied themselves unto gestures in use among them. Now in what order of recumbancy Christ and the Disciples were disposed, is not so easily determined. _Casalius_ from the Lateran Triclinium will tell us, that there being thirteen, five lay down in the first bed, five in the last, and three in the middle bed; and that our Saviour possessed the upper place thereof. That _John_ lay in the same bed seems plain, because he leaned on our Saviours bosom. That _Peter_ made the third in that bed, conjecture is made, because he beckened unto _John_, as being next to him, to ask of Christ, who it was that should betray him. That _Judas_ was not far off seems probable, not only because he dipped in the same dish, but because he was so near, that our Saviour could hand the sop unto him. CHAPTER VII Of the Picture of our Saviour with long hair. Another Picture there is of our Saviour described with long hair, according to the custom of the _Jews_, and his description sent by _Lentulus_ unto the Senate. Wherein indeed the hand of the Painter is not accusable, but the judgement of the common Spectator; conceiving he observed this fashion of his hair; because he was a _Nazarite_, and confounding a _Nazarite_ by vow, with those by birth or education. The _Nazarite_ by vow is declared, _Numb._ 6. And was to refrain three things, drinking of Wine, cutting the hair, and approaching unto the dead; and such a one was _Sampson_. Now that our Saviour was a _Nazarite_ after this kind, we have no reason to determine; for he drank Wine, and was therefore called by the _Pharisees_, a Wine-bibber; he approached also the dead, as when he raised from death _Lazarus_, and the daughter of _Jairus_.
