But this Barbarous Wretch who sate in Pilate's place denyed his Soveraign the Liberty of answering for himself Sir I must interrupt you you may not be permitted to speak of Law or Reason Alas these were not the Rules of their proceeding The Authority of the People is Superiour here and whatever God sayes to the Contrary you are now Subordinate and Subject to Them This was the sence of that Reverend Praesidents speech in this Case though contrary to Pilate's who was the Praesident and Praefect of Judaea Let me proceed in my Parallel If the Mocks and Derisions of the Souldiers added to the sufferings of Christ Ours did the same to Their King using Acts of the highest Scorn even to the Interrupting his private Devotions and words if possible worse than their Actions Spitting in his face as in His Masters from rotten unwholsome mouths not worthy to be named here Nay upon the Day when that fatal Sentence was pronounced To sever the Wisest and Best Head in His Three Kingdomes from His Body a wretched miscreant whose best education was from the Dray-cart then sitting as one of the Judges in which ungratious Pack there were few of better breeding had the Impudence to say unto him Now Stroaker cure thy self Alluding to those Miraculous Cures performed by the Regal-Touch which mock was equivalent to that of the Jews He saved others Himself He could not save I have but one more Their Obstinacy and Impenitence for the Murther committed which appears when it was moved in the House wherein they sate that the Names of all those Regicides who had the confidence to condemn their Soveraign might in all places for which They serv'd be engraven in Plates of Brass that Posterity might never forget such renowned Patriotts Poor deceived Men As if that sinful Act of theirs were not like the Sin of Judah engraven with a Pen of Iron to be recorded at their Final Account I beseech you now judge what doth this Impudence of Theirs differ from the Cry of the Impoenitent Jews His Blood be upon us and upon our Children And truly I speak it with much Christian Sorrow It hath been observed That not One of those Men who Murthered Him at the time of his Execution did express the least poenitent Remorse for the Bloody Fact by Them committed VVhether then our Jewish Sanedrim Our High Court of Justice did not in all particulars at least match the Jews if not exceed them Let the VVorld judge Nor indeed know I any thing which might conclude them Not Jews But that They wanted the Seal of their Cursed Covenant I mean That Circumcission which the Law of Moses and the Law of the Land appoints for such horrid Murderers Think not I beseech you That I come to whet the Sword of Justice or sharpen the Ax my Office is rather to blunt it My intent of coming to this place is to invite Mourners fit for such a Funeral as all Judah and Jerusalem for the first Josiah so The whole Kingdom and the City for the Celebration of our Josiah's exequies For All are involved in the misery of this Day In one kind or other all were Contributors unto it Not only Those who voted in the Cursed sentence But Those who voted their Commission to Sit.
