Dialogu Why art thou then so far from my help, and from the words of my roaring? Why dost thou leave me unto the will of my malignant adversaries, notwithstanding my prayers, and my righteous cause?
Answ. You wrong the Text in restraining it unto the wrath of man. Christ principally if not wholly herein, looks unto the wrath of God.
Our Lords complaint here expressed by a Metaphor of roaring, is by the Evangelists called crying with a loud voice, Mat. 27.46. Mar. 15.34. Luke 23.46. By Paul, strong crying, Heb. 5.7.
This last Text M. Ainsworth cites to the same purpose, whose judgement the Dialogue seems much to account of.
