Fesus then, who was at that time in the Hall, turning to him, with a silent look upbraided him with the crime he had committed : with which Peter was so sensibly affected, that remembring the Admonition of Jerus wherein he had forewarn'd him that before the cock crow'd twice he should thrice deny him, he went out of the Hall, filled with Grief and Anguilh, and with a flood of Tears lamented the Fault he had committed. Jesus afterwards being sent for into the Room where the High Priest was feated with several Members of the Sanhedrim, was by Caiaphas examind concerning bis Disciples and his Doctrine. To whom he thus replied : I have at no time taught in fecret, but have openly deliver'd my Doctrin in almost all the Synagogues of Judea, and in the Temple it self, where there is always a great refort of People. 1 1 MATTHEW.

Upon this one of the Officers that stood by, struck him for not speaking reverently, as he pretended, to the High Priest. To whom Jesus : If I have spoken amiss, Thow wherein ; if not, why doft thou strike me undeservedly? Now the Chief Priests and whole Affembly were at a loss for witness against him : for tho many were ready to testify against him, yet their depositions were not sufficient to prove him guilty of any capital crime.
