Which of you convinceth me of sin?
&c.] Of any immorality in life, or of any imposture,
corruption, or deceit in doctrine. There were many of them that
were forward enough to charge him with both scandalous sins, and
false doctrines; but none of them all could prove anything
against him, so as to convict him according to law: they called
him a wine bibber, and a glutton; gave out they knew he was a
sinner; charged him with blasphemy and sedition; sought to bring
proof of it, but failed in their attempt:
and if I say the truth, why do ye not believe
me?
since as no sin in life, so no corruption in doctrine, could be
proved against him, what he said must be truth; and therefore it
was a most unreasonable thing in them, and showed invincible
obstinacy, not to believe him.
