Note 304 — A DISCOURSE[301] ON CHRIST’S DRIVING THE BUYERS AND SELLERS OUT OF THE TEMPLE.
Reading edition
And to the same purpose, our excellent Archbishop Tillotson—“His [Christ’s] whipping of the buyers and sellers out of the temple, the only action of his life in which there appears any transport of anger, was no other than a BECOMING ZEAL for the honour of God’s house, which he saw so notoriously prophaned; which zeal was WARRANTED, after the example of Phinehas, by the extraordinary occasion of it.” Works, vol. iii. § 136. p. 222.
