When Christ had said, Ye shall see the Son 1of man sit at the right hand of God, & come in the clouds of heaven: the hie priest through zeal rent his clothes, & said, Ye have heard the blasphemy. This naughty man speaketh blasphemy against God. He called a Council, the Scribes & Pharisees met together, not one man amongst them but of themselves: they looked about them, as if they only were the pillars and buttresses of the church, and were only zealous and careful for the house of God. But their meeting was (as David forespake, and as Peter declareth, and as we know) against the Lord, and against anointed. They were touched with zeal of their own glory, & not with the zeal of Gods trueth. They sought their own praise, but not the praise which is of God. They made cracks that they knew the scriptures, that they were the Temple of God, that they had the consent of all antiquity: as others have done since that time, and as we see many do this day, & in very deed, these men now have even as much as they had then, as by proof and trial it will appear.

But their meeting was (as Dauid forespake, and as Peter declareth, and as wee knowe) against the Lorde, and against annointed. They were touched with zeale of their owne glory, & not with the zeale of Gods trueth. They sought their owne praise, but not the praise which is of God. They made crakes that they knewe the scriptures, that they were the Temple of God, that they had the consent of al antiquitye: as others haue done since that time, and as wee see many do this day, & in very deed, these men now haue euen as much as they had then, as by proof and triall it wil appeare.
