First, that whatsoever the Scripture doth speak concerning the sufferings of Christ, it means them really; they were not shows nor semblances, but in substance. This I speak the rather to avoid a cavil of some which think that Christ did only say so, and did not suffer them really; this is a mere doting delusion, and for ever to be abhorred; for unless we yield it that Christ did suffer these really, we shake off the truth of the whole story, and so we can have no true foothold for our comfort.

Secondly, I say that whatsoever is expressed in the Scripture, we must conceive of it without the least suspicion of sin in our Saviour: therefore evermore maintain a holy reverence, and a holy regard of the actions and the nature of our Saviour Christ, that you may not charge him with the least inclination to any distemper.
