〈◊〉〈◊〉 art an offence unto me]
Thou doest thy good will to 〈◊〉〈◊〉 me in the course of my calling, as Mediatour, wherein, say some, he sinned more grievously then afterwards he did in deny∣ing his Master, and was therefore so sharply rebuked. So when* 1.1〈◊〉〈◊〉 was sollicited by Criton to break prison, and save his life by flight; Friend Criton, said he, thine earnestnesse herein were much worth, if it were consistent with uprightnesse: but being not so, the greater it is, the more trouble 〈◊〉〈◊〉. I know not (said that 〈◊〉〈◊〉 Martyr) by what reason they so called them my friends, which so greatly laboured to convert (pervert) me. Neither will I more esteem them then the Midianites, which 〈◊〉〈◊〉 times past called the children of Israel to do sacrifice to their Idols.
