Rainoldes. May there be reasons given? Then reasons may be given, why your reason is naught. But, that you may see what a lame thing it is: mark the points whereon it standeth. First, the high Priest (you say) is the judge, to whom, for the deciding of hard and doubtful controversies, the Lord doth send the Jews. This the scripture saith not: but maketh a difference between the judge and the Priest. For it giveth sentence of death, upon him, who refuseth to hearken 1to the Priest, or to the judge. Wherein, by disjoining the Priest from the judge, it declareth plainly that the Priest was not the same that the judge.

Hart. Our common edition in Latin doth not read it so: but in this sort: he that shall presumptuously refuse to obey 1the commandment of the Priest, by the decree of the judge shall that man die. You see it is here, the commandment of the Priest: & the decree of the judge is an other point. It is not, as you cite it, the Priest, or the judge.
