"What else are such apostate fanatics? People who live by robbery and plunder people who, if they find no gold in your money-belt, will rip your stomach open to see if you've swallowed it! "People who practice the barbaric thar, or blood-feud! People who torture their victims by cutting off the ends of their fingers before beheading or crucifying them!
THIS was not a command, but a prediction of what was then nearly accomplished; and he told them how it would be completed by their killing and crucifying the messengers of heaven, at whose head was the divine messenger who then addressed them that when they should have done these things, God would enter into judgment with them, and avenge on them "all the righteous blood which had been shed in his church from the foundation of the world."
Other "non-barbarians" who escaped joining him in captivity emulated his altruistic spirit by informing the South Devons daily from a position where the lines ran close together, that they were looking forward to crucifying the next Englishman they caught, which again was an immense success, and was greeted invariably by a specially selected choir chanting the Hymn of Hate.
I have seen the folly of a mere wild struggle in the dark. I work on a principle. My plan is not to waste power on random effort, but to concentrate on a single sin. By taking One at a time and crucifying it steadily, I hope in the end to extirpate all."

She went on, telling Jan's life away, betraying him In her happiness, crucifying him in her faith. Blake knew that she was telling the truth. She did not know that Jan had killed Francois Breault, and she believed that he would surely return in three days. And the way he had left her that morning!
Let me not rest contented without such a faith that is so wrought even by the discovery of His Birth, Crucifying Death, Blood, Resurrection, Ascension, and Second which is His Personal Coming again, that the very faith of it may fill my soul with comfort and holiness."
Those who walk in the true light, and who have given over crucifying Christ in their hearts, heed not a jot of the reproaches and despiteful doings of the high and mighty in iniquity. For of us it hath been written: 'I have given them thy word and the world hath hated them because they are not of the world. If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.

Until the middle of the last century they were carried out in the presence of the multitude so that all might be warned by the example.
