1. It is fit that he, who came to be judged, should also come to judge. Tunc manifestus veniet inter justos judicaturus 1justè, qui occultè vener at judicandus ab iniustis iniustè. He that came in humility to be judged by the unjust unjustly, shall come in glory to judge all justly.
1. It is fit that he, who came to be iudged, should also come to iudge. Tunc manifestus veniet inter iustos iudicaturus 1iustè, qui occultè vener at iudicandus ab iniustis iniustè. He that came in humility to be iudged by the vniust vniustly, shall come in glory to iudge all iustly.

2. As it is for the honour of Christ, so is it for the horror of his enemies; when they shall see him wh•m they have pierced: entreating the nRocks and mountains to hide them from the presence of him that sits on the Throne. In maiestate visuri sunt, quem in humilitate videre noluerunt. Ut tantò districtius virtutem sentiant, quantò contemptius infirmitatem d•riserunt. They shall behold him in Majesty, ⟨p. 102⟩whom they would not deign to look upon in humility. The baser they esteemed his weakness, the heavier they shall find and feel his mightiness. Then Christ stood like a Lamb before Pilate a Lyon: now Pilate like a malefactor shall stand before Christ his Judge. Crucify him, crucify him, was the sentence of the Jews: Bind them hand and foot, and throw them into utter darkness, will be the sentence of Christ.
