Acts5:28
28 Saying, Did not we straitly command you, that you should not teach in this name? and behold, ye have filled [illegible: 1 letter]erusalem with your doctrine, and intend to bring this mans blood upon us.
As indeed they had, Acts 4.18. hence they aggravated the Apostles crime as done out of malice, and not out of ignorance.
This Name, and this mans blood, are odious reflections, full of con[illegible: 1 letter]umely against our blessed Saviour; as if he had not been worthy the naming by them.
They shunned not the sin of murder, but are afraid or ashamed of the imputation of it; as many scruple not to commir that wickedness, which they would be loath to be thought guilty of.
The punishment of his blood-shedding.
