their_o sepulcher_n to_o have_v they_o adorn_v and_o have_v we_o live_v in_o the_o day_n of_o our_o father_n we_o will_v not_o have_v kill_v the_o prophet_n of_o the_o lord_n as_o they_o do_v and_o so_o the_o generation_n successive_o fill_v up_o the_o measure_n of_o their_o father_n iniquity_n more_o plain_o this_o be_v to_o be_v see_v in_o the_o day_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n if_o we_o consider_v well_o how_o he_o be_v so_o popular_a when_o he_o come_v to_o save_v his_o life_n by_o the_o vote_n of_o the_o people_n lose_v it_o so_o shameful_o that_o a_o murderer_n be_v prefer_v

alarm_n sufficient_a to_o have_v bring_v they_o to_o a_o council_n of_o war_n and_o there_o they_o may_v have_v throw_v die_n for_o their_o life_n and_o yet_o these_o man_n upon_o serious_a

crafty_a wicked_a man_n the_o jewish_a nation_n be_v never_o account_v fool_n in_o worldly_a wisdom_n neither_o be_v these_o man_n profane_a but_o devout_a in_o expect_v their_o mesias_n and_o upon_o that_o account_n they_o follow_v he_o from_o sea_n to_o sea_n to_o hear_v his_o doctrine_n and_o see_v his_o miracle_n and_o when_o spy_n be_v send_v to_o carp_v at_o he_o none_o so_o ready_a as_o they_o to_o justify_v he_o as_o when_o the_o christ_n come_v will_v he_o do_v great_a thing_n than_o this_o man_n have_v do_v and_o lo_o on_o a_o instant_n crucify_v he_o away_o with_o he_o he_o be_v

not_o of_o drunkard_n swearer_n and_o profane_a person_n but_o of_o the_o most_o reverend_a priest_n a_o 50._o scribe_n pharisee_n and_o devout_a man_n that_o walk_v constant_o in_o the_o performance_n of_o all_o religious_a duty_n towards_o god_n according_a to_o the_o fashion_n of_o the_o church_n in_o those_o day_n and_o some_o of_o they_o have_v walk_v in_o all_o good_a

thereby_o fill_v up_o the_o measure_n of_o our_o father_n iniquity_n but_o we_o must_v sometime_o act_v providential_o as_o well_o as_o pious_o and_o just_o and_o therefore_o whether_o be_v it_o

and_o when_o we_o have_v seize_v he_o we_o shall_v easy_o draw_v off_o the_o people_n from_o he_o for_o in_o deed_n and_o truth_n he_o be_v not_o of_o god_n but_o do_v all_o his_o work_n by_o

the_o night_n when_o the_o multitude_n be_v asleep_a and_o now_o the_o people_n be_v call_v in_o have_v secure_v his_o person_n from_o their_o reach_n and_o now_o the_o high_a priest_n begin_v to_o
