so_o that_o now_o in_o my_o text_n we_o have_v two_o thing_n to_o consider_v you_o see_v the_o theme_n of_o it_o be_v persecution_n against_o the_o follower_n of_o christ._n you_o see_v first_o the_o cause_n of_o it_o be_v misgrounded_a religion_n in_o these_o jew_n it_o be_v ground_v not_o on_o scripture_n but_o on_o tradition_n second_o you_o see_v the_o effect_n of_o it_o in_o their_o carriage_n towards_o the_o follower_n of_o christ._n the_o effect_n be_v twofold_a first_o to_o shut_v they_o out_o of_o the_o church_n by_o excommunication_n second_o have_v so_o do_v to_o put_v they_o to_o death_n they_o shall_v kill_v you_o say_v my_o text._n now_o kill_v again_o be_v twofold_a either_o public_o by_o the_o magistrate_n or_o private_o by_o any_o particular_a person_n it_o be_v all_o one_o to_o he_o that_o suffer_v whether_o he_o die_v by_o the_o sword_n of_o justice_n or_o whether_o he_o have_v his_o throat_n cut_v in_o a_o massacre_n or_o by_o assassination_n but_o as_o to_o the_o author_n it_o be_v far_o different_a the_o sword_n of_o justice_n may_v be_v abuse_v in_o many_o respect_n and_o be_v so_o sometime_o in_o all_o nation_n it_o may_v kill_v the_o innocent_a through_o misinformation_n and_o the_o magistrate_n may_v be_v faultless_a in_o do_v it_o but_o for_o private_a man_n kill_v by_o assassination_n or_o by_o massacre_n it_o be_v and_o aught_o to_o be_v odious_a in_o all_o nation_n yet_o some_o will_v do_v it_o and_o justify_v it_o my_o text_n say_v some_o will_v not_o stick_v to_o do_v it_o yea_o and_o justify_v it_o upon_o the_o account_n of_o religion_n three_o the_o time_n when_o they_o will_v do_v this_o the_o time_n come_v say_v our_o saviour_n come_v when_o now_o under_o the_o gospel_n the_o jew_n do_v it_o at_o the_o entrance_n of_o the_o gospel_n in_o aftertime_n that_o christian_n shall_v do_v it_o that_o profess_v to_o believe_v the_o gospel_n do_v our_o saviour_n ever_o think_v of_o this_o if_o he_o do_v you_o may_v soon_o guess_v of_o what_o sort_n he_o mean_v for_o i_o know_v but_o one_o sort_n of_o christian_n that_o do_v it_o and_o that_o justify_v it_o upon_o account_n of_o religion_n i_o know_v not_o any_o principle_n for_o it_o among_o christian_n but_o they_o in_o the_o roman_a church_n it_o seem_v as_o if_o christ_n look_v upon_o they_o when_o he_o say_v these_o word_n to_o his_o disciple_n it_o appear_v he_o think_v of_o they_o if_o what_o he_o say_v to_o his_o disciple_n be_v intend_v of_o any_o sort_n of_o christian_n he_o declare_v elsewhere_o joh._n 17._o 20._o that_o what_o he_o
