In this Apology of Christ, for his behaviour towards the Law; observe,1 what malice some of the Jews, especially the Scribes and Pharisees, bare unto him: for Christ was the Author of the Law, and yet they maliciously suspect and charge him with the abrogation thereof; so as he is fain to clear himself in this behalf.

The like hath been the malice of wicked men in all ages, against the deerest servants of God; Act. 6. 14. Stephen is accused to speak blasphemous words against the Law: Act. 21. 28. Paul is charged with the same crime. And such is the malice of the Papists, against all Evangelical reformed Churches; because we deny Justification by works, therefore they condemn us for enemies to good works: and in many other points, they fasten upon us notes of reproach, for holding the truth. Yea, among our selves, the like malice doth appear in those that brand their brethren with odious names, because they show forth more care then others, of their duty to God: but let all Gods children beware of this Pharisaical practise.
