It is a daring assertion, when there is not one text, nor (I believe) one Classical Author who affirmeth that Christ as the next and formal cause shed his blood, but on the contrary, plentiful Texts and Testimonies, that he was put to death, killed, and slain, and that by the Jews, Luke 18.33. 1 Pet. 3.18. Mar. 12.8. Act. 3.15. 1 Thes. 3.15. Jam. 5.6. Act. 2.23. Rev. 5.6, 9, 12. & 6.9. to contradict not only the godly whether learned or unlearned both of the present and all past generations since the Passion of our Lord Jesus, but also the Scriptures themselves in saying the Jews did not actually put Christ to death. Nor let the Jews, Romans, or Pilate rejoice at this; in vain doth the Dialogue discharge whom God hath charged.
