Annotations
11Chief Priests. Heretics abuse the ignorant People with these naughty Priests of the old Testament, to make that name odious, & to discredit the Priests of Christ in the new Testament. But for these Priests, thou mayst not marvel that they are so busy against Christ, partly because they were such as were intruded by the secular power of the Roman Emperor, and from year to year by bribery and friendship, not by succession according to the Law of Moyses: partly because the time was now come when the old Priesthood of Aaron should cease, and the new begin according to the order of Melchisedech: and for these causes God suffered their former privileges of wisdom and judgement and discretion to decay in these later usurpers, and that according to the prophet saying, The Law shall perish from the Priest and counsel from the Ancients. But the Priesthood of the new Testament is to continue unto the end of the world, and hath (as being the principal part of the Church) the assistance of the Holy Ghost for ever promised, to teach it all truth: and for Peter the chief Priest thereof under Christ, our Saviour prayed, That his faith should not fail: and to the rest he said, He that heareth you, heareth me.
15Satisfy the People. Pilate should have suffered death, rather than by other men's provocation or commandment have executed an innocent: as a Christian judge should rather suffer all extremity, than give sentence of death against a Catholic man for his faith.
46Buying sindon. This duty done to Christ's body after his departure, was exceeding meritorious, and is therefore by holy writ so often commended for an example to faithful men, to use all honour and devotion towards the bodies of Saints and holy Persons.
