Matthew Poole and continuators on Acts 3:17

17 And now brethren , I wot that through ignorance ye did it r, as did also your rulers .

Lest the Corrasive in the 13, 14, 15. verses, should pierce too far, to prevent despair in his Auditors, the Apostle useth in this verse a lenitive calling them; yet, Brethren, tho guilty of so great a mistake in their judgment▪ and fault in their practice.

Whatsoever they did against Christ, whom St. Peter Preached, was out of a double error. 1. About the place of Christs Birth, supposing him to have been born at Nazareth. 2. They were ignorant of the nature of this Kingdom.

Whose fault was the greater, as having seduced others, &c. Yet St. Peter opens a door of hope by repentance, even for them also.
