SECT. I.
MAT. 12. 35. And an evil man, out of the evil treasure of his heart, bringeth forth evil things.
These words are part of an Apologetical Answer, that our Saviour made against the Pharisees, who were guilty of blaspheming the holy Ghost, because they did maliciously oppose the known truth, and what was done by the Spirit of God, attributing it to the power of the devil. And in this Apology the fervency and zeal of our Saviour, doth appear in the compellation he giveth them, Generation of vipers: Here you see, That it is not always railing and indiscreet zeal, to call wicked men by such names that their sins do deserve.
