Anyone who breaks the Law of Moses is put to death without any show of pity, on the evidence of only two or three witnesses. How much worse a punishment do you think will anyone deserve who tramples the Son of God underfoot, and treats as worthless the blood of the agreement by which he has been purified, and outrages God's spirit of mercy?
