Here comes me now these holy fathers from their ⟨p. 100⟩council, and send their Disciples with the Herodians: mark their behaviour, and mark Christs behaviour. They come louting and with low courtesy, as though they would creep into his bosom: as for Herod's men, they meddle not, bud stand by to hear the tale as witnesses, and if he should speak any thing amiss, be ready to lay hands upon him. They would fain rid him and destroy1 him, but they would turn the envy of the deed upon Herod, so that they would be seen faultless. It had been more meet for them to have counselled how to amend their faults and to have come to Christ, to learn his doctrine, then to study maliciously to trap him, and to destroy him. What said they? Magister scimus quod verax es. &c.
