which_o be_v so_o great_a a_o offence_n to_o god_n that_o they_o never_o have_v a_o sceptre_n since_o unto_o this_o day_n but_o there_o be_v a_o day_n of_o grace_n come_v when_o the_o sceptre_n

thou_o jesus_n answer_v thou_o can_v have_v no_o power_n at_o all_o against_o i_o except_o it_o be_v give_v thou_o from_o above_o therefore_o he_o that_o deliver_v i_o unto_o thou_o have_v the_o

of_o jesus_n christ_n viz._n pilate_n frequent_v urge_v the_o innocency_n of_o jesus_n and_o oft_o say_v when_o they_o say_v crucify_v he_o pilate_n oft_o will_v say_v why_o what_o have_v be_v do_v what_o law_n have_v he_o break_v what_o shall_v he_o be_v condemn_v for_o a_o innocent_a person_n ought_v to_o be_v release_v etc._n etc._n 2._o this_o force_v the_o jew_n again_o as_o former_o they_o have_v do_v to_o urge_v their_o own_o law_n which_o though_o it_o be_v not_o a_o roman_a law_n yet_o by_o the_o authority_n of_o that_o law_n he_o ought_v to_o die_v now_o whether_o pilate_n ask_v they_o what_o that_o law_n be_v or_o whether_o they_o produce_v it_o unasked_a it_o be_v not_o very_o material_a see_v the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v silent_a in_o it_o but_o they_o produce_v the_o

use_v in_o the_o second_o act_n of_o pilate_n and_o now_o again_o more_o full_o and_o this_o be_v evident_o at_o another_o time_n attend_v with_o other_o circumstance_n this_o law_n of_o blaspemy_n be_v the_o only_a law_n that_o they_o have_v to_o plead_v against_o he_o for_o say_v he_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n which_o be_v one_o of_o the_o great_a and_o most_o glorious_a truth_n in_o the_o world_n for_o this_o they_o condemn_v jesus_n in_o their_o council_n and_o this_o they_o plead_v before_o pilate_n he_o ought_v to_o die_v for_o say_v he_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n jesus_n christ_n be_v the_o first_o martyr_n that_o die_v for_o this_o truth_n 3._o when_o pilate_n hear_v that_o word_n that_o he_o say_v i_o be_o the_o son_n of_o god_n this_o word_n startle_v the_o pagan_n heart_n and_o he_o be_v more_o afraid_a he_o clear_o see_v his_o innocency_n and_o that_o they_o persecute_v he_o out_o of_o envy_n now_o if_o this_o innocent_a person_n shall_v be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n how_o shall_v i_o dare_v to_o put_v he_o to_o death_n the_o jew_n heart_n be_v hard_a their_o conscience_n sear_v as_o hard_o as_o rock_n stone_n but_o pilate_n a_o pagan_a be_v more_o afraid_a he_o be_v afraid_a before_o but_o now_o more_o afraid_a what_o be_v he_o afraid_a of_o before_o sure_o he_o fear_v the_o guilt_n of_o innocent_a blood_n to_o condemn_v a_o innocent_a man_n to_o die_v be_v a_o abomination_n to_o god_n a_o horrible_a sin_n and_o this_o he_o be_v afraid_a of_o before_o but_o now_o he_o be_v more_o afraid_a if_o this_o innocent_a person_n be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n his_o very_a heart_n twitter_v and_o shrink_v about_o it_o 4._o therefore_o pilate_n take_v jesus_n again_o into_o the_o pretorium_fw-la be_v industrious_a to_o find_v out_o the_o matter_n and_o that_o which_o pass_v in_o the_o pretorium_fw-la be_v in_o these_o particular_n first_o pilate_n ask_v jesus_n whence_o be_v thou_o viz_o not_o of_o what_o nation_n or_o country_n for_o he_o know_v he_o to_o be_v a_o jew_n of_o galilee_n but_o of_o what_o original_a be_v thou_o be_v thou_o the_o son_n of_o god_n 2_o jesus_n christ_n be_v silent_a and_o answer_v not_o he_o be_v not_o silent_a in_o
