But if the same desperate man were to seize his Sovereign by the throat, and endeavour to tear him limb from limb, what punishment would then be equal to his deserts ? And if in doing this to a King, who is but his fellow-mortal, he would be committing an act too great for any punishment to reach ; of what hell will he not be deserving, who slays Christ, and rends him limb from limb ? — Speak out, ye women here present, — though in tliis particular you will not be wanting, I trow, — relate to t...hem that are absent the similitude I have made, and startle them by its truth. If any think to grieve me, and so to have their revenge, let them know that they will attempt it in vain. But if you would fain revenge yourselves on me, I will show you a way to do it. Buffet me, ye women, spit upon me, when ye meet me in the public way. Do you shudder at hearing this ? When I bid you buffet me, do you shudder, and would you tear your Lord and Master without shuddering ? Nay, revenge yourselves on me, rather than wreak it in my stead upon the Lord and Saviour.
