Verse 4. Take Iesus by 〈◊〉〈◊〉, and kill him]
Craft and cru∣elty go commonly coupled in the Churches 〈◊〉〈◊〉. Nei∣ther of them wants their mate, as the Scripture speaks of those birds of prey and desolation, Isa. 34. 16. These 〈◊〉〈◊〉 and Elders were so bitterly bent against Christ, 〈◊〉〈◊〉 nothing would satisfie them but his bloud. All plants and other 〈◊〉〈◊〉 have their growth and encrease to a period, and 〈◊〉〈◊〉, their declination and decay, 〈◊〉〈◊〉 only the 〈◊〉〈◊〉, who grows bigger and bigger, even till death. So 〈◊〉〈◊〉 all passi∣ons and perturbations in mans minde their intentions and remissions, except only malicious revenge. This dies not, many times, but with the man (if that) as nothing 〈◊〉〈◊〉 quench the combustible slime in Samosaris, nor the 〈◊〉〈◊〉* 1.1 flame of the 〈◊〉〈◊〉〈◊〉〈◊〉, but only earth. Saint 〈◊〉〈◊〉 tells us, That our Saviour being reviled, did not only com∣mit* 1.2 his cause to God, but Himselfe to God: as expecting the encrease of his enemies opposition, till they had put him to death.
