Did not we straitly command you? 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 man's blood, are odious reflections, full of contumely against our blessed Saviour, as if he had not been worthy the naming by them. To bring this man's blood upon us; they shunned not the sin of murder, but are afraid or ashamed of the imputation of it: as many scruple not to commit that wickedness which they would be loth to be thought guilty of, Blood; the punishment of his bloodshedding.
