ftruck our Saviour before the Judge, where it was not lawful to ftrike (as it it not with us at this Day) he only replies; If I have spoken Evil, bear Witness of the Evil; but if Well, why fmiteft thou me? He fays nothing against their smiting him, in cafe he had been guilty of speaking Evil, that is Blasphemy; and they could have prov'd it against him. They that put this Law in execution were called Zelots; but afterwards they com mitted many Villanies.
