The Priests were unworthy to hear of it by an Angel: they shall hear of it therefore by the profane souldiers, who come in to them much affrighted, and thunder-struck, as it were, and told them all. Now the confession of an adversary is held in law to be the most certain demonstration of the truth, that can be.
