Once Nicodemus spake a good word for Jesus Christ, which had a present good effect, but he was quipped for it, Joh. 7, 50.51, 52, 53. Jesus Christ complained, Psal. 22.11. there is none to help, but God taketh care of this poor worm, Isai. 40.14. fear not thou worm Jacob.
5. Any one is bold to tread upon a worm to hurt and injure it, so were the people bold to speak and do against Jesus Christ, sometimes to stone him, Joh. 8.59. and 10.31. sometime to cast him down the clist of the Rocks, Luk 4.28, 29, 30. but God preserved him from them.
