68. Didst thou war against the sacrifice of Christ with thy abominations, against the blood that cleansed the world with thy offerings of blood? Didst thou wage war against Peace? Didst thou lift thy hand against the Hand that was nailed for thee and through thee? Against the Gall didst thou set thine own liking; against the Cross, a trophy; against His death, subversion of religion; against His Resurrection, thy rebellion; against the Martyr, the want of martyrs?⁴⁶ Thou persecutor next to Herod, thou traitor next to Judas, except so far as not ending thy life with, a halter, as he did;⁴⁷ thou murderer of Christ next to Pilate; thou hater of God next to the Jews!

ΞΗʹ. Σὺ κατὰ τῆς Χριστοῦ θυσίας τοῖς σοῖς μιάσμασι; Σὺ κατὰ τοῦ τὸν κόσμον καθήραντος αἵματος τοῖς σοῖς αἵμασι; Σὺ πόλεμον κατὰ τῆς εἰρήνης; Σὺ χεῖρα κατὰ τῆς ὑπὲρ σοῦ ἡλωθείσης τε καὶ διὰ σέ; Σὺ κατὰ τῆς χολῆς τὴν σὴν γεῦσιν; κατὰ τοῦ σταυροῦ τρόπαιον; κατὰ τοῦ θανάτου κατάλυσιν; κατὰ τῆς ἀναστάσεως ἐπανάστασιν; κατὰ τοῦ μάρτυρος οὐδὲ μάρτυρας; μετὰ Ἡρώδην διώκτης, καὶ μετὰ Ἰούδαν προδότης; πλὴν ὅσον οὐκ ἀγχόνῃ τὴν μετάνοιαν ἔδειξας ὥσπερ ἐκεῖνος: καὶ Χριστοκτόνος μετὰ Πιλᾶτον, καὶ μετὰ Ἰουδαίους μισόθεος;
