Paul S. Paul that had greater Commission then they can pretend any that could doe as much as Elias or Daniel yet here acknowledging he went too far against Ananias The case is worth insisting on a little and the order of our Division now leads us to it None may speak evil of Rulers no though he be S.

Paul answers like one that knew not Ananias nor his Authority intimating him but a private man And therefore no such peril in reviling one who was now no Ruler of the people But this had been a worse scorn then the other and had S. Paul discovered any such meaning he had much more incensed the standers by whom now he pacified and therefore in likelihood carried not himself as one that meant to bereave Ananias of any honour but to excuse himself rather in not discerning his honour he appeared therefore as one repenting and craving pardon as if he should say Had I known him to be the High Priest I would
