The
maner
and
order
of
proceeding
against
Christ
,
by
the
Iudges
which
held
a
counsell
at
Ierusalem
,
at
the
instance
of
Caiphas
,
which
was
High
Priest
that
same
yeere
:
And
the
sentence
of
death
pronounced
agaynst
him
by
Pilate
,
then
Gouerner
of
the
Iewes
,
vnder
Tiberius
the
Romaine
Emperor
.
1.
Simon
the
Leper
.
WHat
Lawe
haue
we
to
condemne
a
man
that
is
in
bondage
?
2.
Rabaam
.
I
knowe
not
wherefore
the
Lawes
are
made
if
they
bee
not
obserued
and
kept
.
3.
Achias
.
The
cause
of
the
offender
ought
to
be
throughly
examined
before
sentence
of
death
be
gyuen
agaynst
him
.
4.
Subath
.
No
man
ought
either
by
the
law
of
God
or
man
,
to
be
condemned
ere
his
offence
be
known
,
therefore
tell
vs
wherein
this
man
hath
offended
.
5.
Rosmophin
.
To
what
ende
is
the
Lawe
ordeined
if
the
true
meaning
thereof
be
not
kept
?
6.
Phytiphares
.
That
righteousnes
which
mooueth
sedition
amongst
the
common
people
,
is
needles
for
the
estate
of
the
Countrey
.
7.
Ryphar
.
The
Lawe
it selfe
condemneth
no
man
,
saue
him
that
rebelleth
agaynst
it
,
and
for
that
cause
is
it
made
.
If
he
be
a
transgresso●
let
his
owne
offence
caste
him
,
&
not
your
coller
or
hastines
.
8.
Ioseph
of
Aramathia
.
O
what
a
shame
is
this
,
that
in
a
whole
Citty
not
one
is
to
be
founde
that
will
defende
the
innocent
.
9.
Ioram
.
Wherefore
suffer
we
this
iust
man
to
die
,
is
it
for
his
righteousnes
?
10.
Ehiheris
.
Although
he
be
iust
yet
shall
he
die
,
because
the
people
are
mooued
by
his
words
.
11.
Diarabias
.
Although
we
faigne
outward
boldnes
,
yet
is
he
accused
before
the
Counsell
.
12.
Sareas
.
An
Hypocrite
is
very
dangerous
in
a
common
wealth
,
therefore
let
him
be
rooted
out
from
the
people
.
13
Rabin●●
.
Whether
he
be
iust
or
vniust
,
because
he
is
against
the
maners
of
our
forefathers
,
we
wyll
not
suffer
him
.
14.
Iosaphat
.
Let
him
be
bound
in
yron
Chaynes
and
kept
secretlye
.
15.
Philomeus
.
If
hée
be
neither
iust
nor
vniust
,
wherefore
doo
we
stay
and
not
condemne
him
?
16
Tecas
.
It
were
better
and
safer
for
vs
to
banish
him
the
Countrey
,
or
els
send
him
vp
to
Caesar
.
17
Mesa
.
If
he
be
iust
then
let
vs
ioyne
with
him
,
but
if
he
be
vniust
let
vs
roote
him
out
.
18
Sameth
.
Let
vs
agrée
about
him
least
he
rebell
against
vs
,
and
if
he
wyll
not
obay
vs
let
him
bee
put
to
torture
.

Cayphas

All
you
knowe
not
what
you
say
:
it
is
better
that
one
man
die
then
all
the
people
perysh
.

IPontius
Pilate

prouost
and
Iudge
in
Ierusalem
,
vnder
the
mightiest
Emperor
Tiberius
,
(
whose
Empire
the
most

gréeting
.
Sitting
in
iudgment
seate
for
loue
of
iustice
,
by
the
Sinagogue
of
the
Iewish
people
,
is
presented
before
me
Iesus
of
Nazareth
,
the
which
with
presumptuous
wordes
hath
named
himselfe
to
be
the
sonne
of
GOD
,
although
he
be
borne
of
a
poore
mother
:
He
hath
preached
himselfe
to
bee
the
King
of
the
Iewes
,
aduauncing
to
destroy
Salomons
Temple
,
and
to
withdrawe
the
people
from
the
most
approued
Lawe
of
Moyses
.
All
this
exactly
considered
and
approued
so
,
condemne
we
him
to
the
Cros●e
with
two
murtherers
.
This
was
found
at
Vienna

To
the
Christian
Reader
.
WHen
I
was
last
busie
with
confuting
of
that
pernitious
booke
of
Iohn
Enghilram
(
called
the
bluddy
boke
)
through
the
murthers
that
haue
beene
committed
by
the
Papistes
among
the
Children
of
GOD
,
so
found
I
at
the
Printers
house
,
this
Pamphlet
printed
in
Dutch
,
and
considering
the
matter
,
the
person
&
the
circumstances
,
I
would
not
that
the
English
nation
,
being
now
(
God
be
praysed
)
the
most
famous
and
renowmed
,
both
for
purity
of
Religion
,
and
valiantnes
in
Cheualry
,
should
be
thereof
depriued
.
