Acts17:6

6 And when they found them not, they drew Jason, and certain brethren unto the rulers of the city, crying , These that have w turned the world upside down, are come hither also;

Being withdrawn, to avoid the popular rage against them, they charge Innovation upon them, as knowing how jealous Rulers are of any alteration. Thus whatsoever mischiefs befel the State, or whatsoever was odious and abominable, was in the Primitive times still charged upon the Christians. The Enemies of God's Church cloathe his servants in beasts skins (painting, and representing them in what forms they please), that every one may hunt and worry them.
