Will you yet see more scorn, dirt and contempt cast upon the Lord of glory? why then cast your eyes upon that, Luk. 16. 14. And the Pharisees also who were covetous, heard all these things, and they derided him; or as the Greek reads it, They blew their noses at him, in scorn and 1derision. The Pharisees did not only laugh, fleer and jeer at Christ, but they gave also external signs of scorn and derision in their countenance and gestures; they blew their noses at him, they contemned him as a thing of naught. And in ch. 23. 35. both people and Rulers blew their noses at him; for the original word is the same with that in the forementioned chapter, John 19. 12. he is accused for being an enemy to Caesar. Now, who can seriously consider of the scorn, reproach and contempt that hath been cast upon the name and honour of our Lord Jesus, and not sit silent and mute under all the scorn and contempt that hath been cast upon his name ⟨p. 315⟩or person in this world?
