15. No, nor yet Herod; for I sent you to him, and lo, nothing worthy of Death is done of him.
O Blessed Saviour! Even thine Enemies must justifie thee. Thy Innocence was so bright and illustri∣ous, that Impiety it self could not charge thee with any Errour. And when even thy Foes do vindicate thy Cause, I, that pretend to be thy Friend, must not be backward to assert thy Honour and Glory. Let me ju∣stifie thee by mine Actions; and believe, that I cannot honour thee more, than by adorning thy Doctrine in all things. Let my good Works bear witness that I ho∣nour thee; and, in the midst of a crooked and perverse Generation, let me sanctifie thee in my Heart and Life; that whereas Men speak evil of me, as of an Evil-doer, they may be ashamed that falsely accuse my good Con∣versation in Christ Jesus.
