Jesus answered him, Wilt thou lay down thy life for my sake? Verily, verily, I say unto thee, The cock shall not crow, till thou hast denied me thrice.
Ver. 38. The cock shall not crow] Christ mentioneth the cock, quia tam strenuum pugnatorem decebat tale praeconium. So, Revelation 6:13, pastors revolt, as green figs fall off, with no ado. In the Palatinate they fell to Popery as fast as leaves fall in autumn.
