First, Just and deep indignation against sin. Ah cursed sin! 'Twas thou usedst my dear Lord so.1 For thy sake he underwent all this. If thy vileness had not been so great, his sufferings had not been so many. Cursed sin, thou wast the knife that stabbed him. Thou the sword, that pierced him. Ah what revenge it works! I remember it's storied of one of the Kings of France, that hearing his Bishop (as I remember it was Remigius) read the History of Christs trial and execution, and hearing how barbarously they had used Christ; he was moved with so tragical and pathetical a History, to great indignation against Pilate, the Jews, and the rude and bloody Soldiers, and could not contain himself; but cried out as the Bishop was reading, O that I had been there with my French-men, I would have cut all their throats, who so barbarously used my Saviour.
