Last of all, it is here said, That our Lord Jesus was crucified at Rome; which may seem strange, sith all men know, that Christ was crucified at Jerusalem. But to answer this doubt, we are to understand, that in respect of the place, our Lord Jesus was crucified at Jerusalem: but if we respect the power and Authority that put him to death, he was crucified at Rome: for Christ was put to death by a Roman Judge, by Roman laws, by Roman authority, by a kind of death proper only to the Romans, and in a place which then was within the Roman Empire: And for this cause is here said, that Christ was crucified at Rome.
