John Trapp on John 7:20-21

Verſe 20. Thou hast a devil] This he paſſeth by as a frontleſſe ſlander, not worth refuting: but proceeds to maintain the lawfulneſſe of that he had done on the Sabbath-day. Sincerity throwes off ſlanders, as Paul did the Viper; yea, in an holy ſcorn, it laughs at them, as the wilde aſſe doth at the horſe, and his rider. Wicelius and Cochleus ſay, that we betraied the Rhodes (ſaith Melancthon) and ſome other ſuch foul buſineſſes they lay to our charge. Dicant ipſi talia quoad velint. Theſe are ſuch groſſe lyes, that we need not diſprove them: let them tell as many ſuch lyes of us as they will, &c. our names are oyled, they will not ſtick.
