The harmony of the Gospels in the holy history of the humiliation and sufferings…

3dl. Pilate saith, behold the man. that is, you see I have punished him, to pacify you, let that suffice, and so I will release him, though thus much of the sense of the words is not expressed, yet tis probable, he laboured to work upon their compassion and pity: but we see that no humane policy can quench the rage of the wicked ⟨p. 96⟩against innocent Jesus Christ, and his innocent servants.
