Matthew Poole and continuators on Acts 25:16

16 To whom I answered, It is not the manner [illegible: 1 letter]f the Romans to deliver any man to die, before that he which is accused, have the accusers face to face, and have license to answer for himself concerni[illegible: 1 letter]g the crime laid against him.

To condemn any man indictâ causâ, without sufficient cause alledged and proved, is not only against the Laws of the Romans, but of the Iews, Deut. 21.4. Nay, against the Law of Nature and of all Nations. Yet Malice had so far blinded the Enemies of St. Paul, that they go about such things as an Heathen reproves, and the very light of Nature condemns.
