8.Q. WHY would not Jesus Christ shew Herod a miracle?
A. Because in all probability, it was only to satisfy his curiosity that he desired to see one.
Q. What may we learn from Herod’s never having seen Christ before?
A. That Christ was no friend to courts; that pomp and greatness keep thousands from Jesus Christ; and that we ought therefore rather to thank God for our being in a lower estate.
12.Q. What may we learn from the friendship made between Pilate and Herod, by the death of Christ?
A. That Jew and Gentile, by Christ’s death, were to be united together in one body: Herod being a Jew, and Pontius Pilate a Gentile.
18.Q. When do we as these Jews did?
A. When we prefer our sins, (which are robbers, because they rob us of God’s favour) to our Saviour’s service.
