And now forasmuch as they know that Jesus is the anointed of the Lord, the governor of the church, and the giver of the holy ghost, the accusation hath so much the more force. For the putting of him to death was not only full of cruelty and wickedness, but also a testimony of outrageous disloyalty against God, of sacrilege and unthankfulness, and finally, of Apostasy. But it was requisite that they should be so wounded, least they should have been slow to seek for medicine. And yet notwithstanding they did not crucify him with their own hands: but this is more then sufficient to make them guilty, in that they desired ⟨p. 70⟩to have him put to death. And we also are accused by this same voice, if we crucify him in our selves,1 being already glorified in heaven, making a mock of him, as saith the Apostle, Heb. 6.
And nowe forasmuche as they knowe that Iesus is the annointed of the Lorde, the gouernour of the church, and the giuer of the holy ghost, the accusation hath so much the more force. For the putting of him to death was not onely full of crueltie and wickednesse, but also a testimonie of outragious disloyaltie against God, of sacrilege and vnthankefulnesse, and finally, of Apostacie. But it was requisite that they shoulde bee so wounded, least they should haue been slow to seeke for medicine. And yet notwithstanding they did not crucifie him with their owne handes: but this is more then sufficient to make them guilty, in that they desired ⟨p. 70⟩to haue him put to death. And we also are accused by this same voice, if we crucifie him in our selues,1 being alreadie glorified in heauen, making a mocke of him, as saith the Apostle, Heb. 6.
