_Constituerunt ut si quis confiteretur eum esse Christum, synagoga

O reus infelix, quam tua poena gravis!
_They determined that if any man should confess Him to be Christ, he

Unhappy culprit, fearful is thy guilt.
The gates of heaven for aye should keep thee close:
Unhappy culprit, fearful are thy woes. A.
