Herod had a jealousy and suspicion, that Christ when he was born would turn him out of his Kingdom; and all Jerusalem was in an uproar. Alas, Christ came to give a heavenly Kingdom, and not to take away earthly: yet this jealousy cost the lives of the poor Infants.
Herod had a jealousie and suspition, that Christ when he was born would turn him out of his Kingdome; and all Jerusalem was in an uproar. Alas, Christ came to give a heavenly Kingdome, and not to take away earthly: yet this jealousie cost the lives of the poor Infants.
So in the Primitive Church, there were wicked men put jealousies (concerning the Christians,) into the heads of the Emperors: when alas, they reverenced the Emperors, (next God) above all: yet alway there were wicked instruments that sought to domineer, and have their own ends under the Emperors, they conveyed jealousies; and thence came so much blood-shed. In later times in Popish Countries, if a man read the stories, whence came that blood-shed? This was one chief cause, jealousies, and suspicions cast into the heads of Popish Princes by wicked men about them, set on work by Satan himself. O they are such as will turn you out of your state; a people that are rebellious, and unquiet.
