Inference 1.
* 1.1Was Christ thus used when he stood before the great Council, the Scribes and Elders of Israel? then surely great men are not alwaies wise, neither do the aged understand Iudgement. Job. 32.9. Here were many great men, many aged men, many politick men in Council; but not one wise or good man among them. In this Council were men of parts, and learning, men of great abilities, and by so much the more pernicious, and able to do mischief. Wickedness in a great man, in a learned man, is like poyson given in wine, which is the more operative and deadly. Christs greatest enemies were such as these. Heathen Pilate, had more pity for him, than superstitious Caiphas. Luther tells us, that his greatest adversaries did not rise out of the Ale-houses or Brothel-houses; but out of Monasteries, Convents and Religious-houses.
