Now the Priests were they that were the greatest of these biggest Sinners; they were the Ring-leaders, they were the Inventors & Ring-leaders in the Mischief. 'Twas they set the People against the Lord Jesus, and that was the cause why the Uproar increased, until Pilate had given Sentence upon him. The chief Priests and Elders, says the Text persuaded (the People) the Multitude, that they should ask Barabbas, and destroy Jesus, Matth. 27 20.
