CHAPTER X.

20. Q. _What learn you from this verse?_

_A._ That if they called the Master of the house Beelzebub, much more will they those of his houshold. CHRIST’s children were always the world’s fools.

22. Q. _What learn you from hence?_

_A._ That as JESUS was present at the feast of dedication, which was purely of human institution, _1 Maccabees_, 4th and 9th, therefore we may conform to things indifferent in themselves, though only of human appointment.

30. Q. _Does not this verse prove CHRIST to be GOD?_

_A._ The _Jews_ thought so, by their immediately taking up stones to stone him.

34. Q. _How does our Saviour argue in this and the following verses?_

_A._ It is what logicians call an argument _ad hominem_, when you confute or confound a person from something which he himself says or grants. It is also an argument a _minori ad majus_, when you prove a greater thing from the less. The process of the argument runs thus: If you call magistrates, gods, to whom the word of GOD only came, how much more ought you to own me to be GOD, and not to be angry with me for calling myself so, or the Son of GOD, who shew by my works, that I dwell in my Father and my Father in me?
