with_o a_o crown_n of_o thorn_n and_o with_o a_o purple_a raiment_n he_o utter_v a_o pitiful_a voice_n say_v behold_v the_o man_n to_o move_v the_o jew_n to_o be_v content_a but_o their_o malice_n can_v not_o be_v satisfy_v but_o the_o jew_n and_o priest_n cry_v out_o crucify_v he_o crucify_v he_o thus_o much_o we_o have_v hear_v already_o now_o in_o the_o begin_n of_o this_o text_n we_o have_v the_o reply_n of_o pilate_n to_o the_o jew_n and_o the_o communication_n betwixt_o he_o and_o they_o take_v you_o he_o say_v he_o and_o crucify_v he_o as_o for_o i_o i_o find_v no_o fault_n in_o he_o he_o answer_v indeed_o with_o a_o anger_n for_o he_o be_v common_v with_o the_o obstinacy_n of_o the_o jew_n because_o nothing_o will_v move_v they_o but_o still_o they_o cry_v out_o crucify_v he_o but_o he_o say_v if_o you_o will_v take_v it_o on_o your_o conscience_n crucify_v you_o he_o as_o for_o i_o albeit_o i_o have_v right_a to_o crucify_v he_o i_o have_v rather_o give_v my_o right_n to_o you_o than_o to_o deâ—ile_v my_o hand_n with_o the_o blood_n of_o the_o innocent_a you_o hear_v when_o they_o urge_v pilate_n to_o condemn_v he_o without_o a_o verdict_n he_o answer_v on_o this_o manner_n you_o have_v a_o law_n judge_v he_o according_a to_o your_o law_n before_o i_o judge_v a_o man_n without_o a_o crime_n i_o have_v rather_o resign_v my_o right_n to_o you_o you_o see_v there_o pilate_n have_v rather_o give_v over_o his_o right_n that_o he_o have_v of_o the_o roman_a emperor_n in_o judge_v and_o execute_v before_o he_o have_v condemn_v a_o innocent_a man_n this_o have_v be_v very_o commendable_a in_o this_o ethnic_n man_n if_o it_o have_v not_o be_v force_v out_o of_o he_o by_o the_o guiltiness_n of_o his_o conscience_n his_o conscience_n cry_v within_o he_o jesus_n be_v innocent_a so_o this_o be_v force_v out_o of_o he_o for_o brethren_n you_o shall_v understand_v that_o man_n do_v thing_n in_o conscience_n two_o way_n either_o against_o their_o will_n when_o they_o be_v compel_v violent_o to_o do_v it_o or_o else_o with_o their_o will_n when_o they_o do_v any_o thing_n willing_o when_o the_o heart_n be_v as_o ready_a to_o do_v it_o as_o the_o conscience_n charge_n when_o a_o man_n do_v a_o thing_n upon_o constraint_n he_o get_v little_a praise_n before_o god_n when_o a_o man_n do_v willing_o then_o there_o be_v matter_n of_o true_a praise_n if_o you_o compare_v pilate_n with_o the_o jew_n who_o have_v lose_v their_o conscience_n he_o have_v his_o own_o praise_n for_o it_o be_v better_a to_o be_v common_v on_o conscience_n to_o do_v any_o thing_n than_o to_o do_v against_o conscience_n but_o let_v he_o who_o will_v have_v the_o true_a praise_n not_o do_v any_o thing_n on_o constraint_n of_o conscience_n only_o but_o also_o with_o a_o willing_a heart_n as_o the_o conscience_n require_v that_o he_o do_v it_o so_o let_v he_o be_v as_o glad_a to_o do_v it_o natural_a man_n will_v have_v a_o conscience_n and_o do_v upon_o conscience_n albeit_o they_o be_v never_o so_o profane_a but_o if_o the_o heart_n agree_v willing_o to_o do_v god_n service_n there_o be_v more_o than_o nature_n there_o if_o thou_o will_v have_v praise_n of_o god_n take_v not_o only_a heed_n to_o thy_o conscience_n but_o look_v also_o that_o thou_o have_v a_o joy_n in_o thy_o heart_n in_o well_o do_v will_v you_o mark_v through_o this_o whole_a discourse_n that_o the_o lord_n let_v not_o the_o conscience_n of_o pilate_n sleep_n judge_n now_o who_o will_v be_v count_v christian_n have_v not_o such_o a_o conscience_n and_o as_o it_o be_v wake_v so_o it_o let_v he_o not_o rest_n but_o cause_v he_o speak_v if_o thy_o conscience_n be_v waken_v thou_o shall_v be_v speak_v and_o shall_v be_v compel_v to_o say_v the_o good_a cause_n be_v the_o good_a cause_n but_o look_v to_o the_o high_a priest_n there_o be_v as_o great_a difference_n between_o they_o and_o pilate_n as_o it_o between_o the_o heaven_n &_o the_o earth_n you_o shall_v see_v nothing_o in_o they_o but_o the_o conscience_n sleep_v &_o lock_v up_o in_o a_o sound_a sleep_n &_o the_o more_o that_o pilate_n testify_v of_o the_o innocence_n of_o christ_n they_o be_v the_o more_o harden_v this_o be_v a_o wonder_n pilate_n be_v but_o a_o natural_a man_n who_o have_v none_o illumination_n but_o through_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n &_o you_o must_v know_v that_o it_o be_v knowledge_n that_o make_v a_o conscience_n as_o for_o the_o high_a priest_n they_o have_v light_a by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n yet_o come_v to_o the_o conscience_n pilate_n have_v a_o better_a conscience_n than_o they_o have_v all_o will_v you_o search_v the_o ground_n of_o it_o the_o high_a priest_n albeit_o they_o have_v the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o light_n and_o illumination_n there_o thorough_a yet_o the_o maliciousness_n of_o their_o heart_n put_v out_o that_o light_n corruption_n blot_v it_o out_o and_o when_o once_o a_o man_n be_v illuminate_v and_o then_o begin_v to_o extinguish_v that_o light_n it_o come_v by_o the_o just_a judgement_n of_o god_n that_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n be_v put_v out_o and_o then_o all_o conscience_n be_v scrape_v out_o and_o then_o he_o become_v like_o a_o
