JOI. Christ was accused of high treason, against the imperial Majesty, whereby the Ives thought soon to have condemned him. For they said, he maketh him self king of the Jews Our lord would be seemed (as he ought by right) to be so far from the affectation ⟨image 40⟩and coveting of any earthly kingdom, that it should be against all reason, to suspect any such thing of him.
