Sitting in judgement seat for love of justice, by the Synagogue of the jewish people, is presented before me jesus of Nazareth, the which with presumptuous words hath named himself to be the son of GOD, although he be borne of a poor mother: He hath preached himself to be the King of the jews, advancing to destroy salomon's Temple, and to withdraw the people from the most approved Law of Moses.

Farewell in Christ jesus our Saviour, from my study in Canterbury, the 12. of May. 1586. Yours in the Lord Gerardus Gossenius Doctor in Physic.
