Would not Pilate recede from what he had written on Christs behalf.1 How shameful a thing is it for Christians to retract what they have said or done on Christs behalf! When Pilate had asserted him to be King of the Jews, he maintains his assertion, and all the importunity of Christs enemies shall not move him an hairs breadth from it. What I have written, I have written, q. d. I have said it, and I will not revoke it. Did Pilate say what I have written, I have written. And shall not we say what we have believed, we have believed. And what we have professed, we have professed. What we have engaged to Christ we have engaged. We will stand to what we have done for him; we will never recant our former ownings of, and appearances for Christ.
