Acts2:23
23 Him , being delivered by the determinate counsel and the foreknowledged of God , ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified g and slain:
That the Apostle might take away the offence of the Cross of Christ, he declares unto them, that he did not suffer by chance, but by the wise and holy Providence of God, who had ordered, and by his Prophets foretold, what he should suffer before he did enter into glory, Luke 24.26. Yet this did no way excuse those who were instrumental in his death; for notwithstanding Gods determinate Counsel concerning it, he tells the Iews. The determination of God, as it does not necessitate to, so it does not excuse any from sin▪
By the Romans who were truly [non-Latin text not transcribed], without any Law of God: What the Iews urged or occasioned the Romans to do, is charged justly upon them as their Act.
