him, I say, being delivered by the determined counsel and providence of God, you have by wicked hands crucified and slain. This is even he, by whom God hath wholly given him self unto you, and yet have ye put him to death. And yet notwithstanding ye must needs confess that it is the very self same man which was promised you in the law. He came to be your Saviour and Redeemer: and this you can neither will nor choose but acknowledge, because he remained not in death: For God gave him victory over death, and he overcame it. Thus we see in the first place, what it is that Saint Peter telleth unto the Jews, that he might bring them to the knowledge of Jesus Christ.
him, I say, being deliuered by the determined counsell and prouidence of God, you haue by wicked handes crucified and slaine. This is euen hée, by whom God hath wholely giuen him selfe vnto you, and yet haue yée put him to death. And yet notwithstanding yée must néedes confesse that it is the verie selfe same man which was promised you in the lawe. Hée came to be your Sauiour and Redéemer: and this you can neither will nor choose but acknowledge, because he remained not in death: For God gaue him victorie ouer death, and hée ouercame it. Thus we sée in the first place, what it is that Saint Peter telleth vnto the Iewes, that he might bring them to ye knowledge of Iesus Christ.
And it is to be noted, that he speaketh of nothing here, but of the death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. For first of all, it can not be otherwise, but that the Jews must needs understand that Jesus Christ was the Son of God. And this is it whereby Saint Peter meaneth to prove it, in that which he here propoundeth. Now, there are two things, which we are to understand of Jesus Christ.

For first of all, it can not be otherwise, but that the Iewes must néedes vnderstand that Iesus Christ was the Sonne of God. And this is it whereby Saint Peter meaneth to proue it, in that which hée héere propoundeth. Nowe, there are two thinges, which we are to vnderstand of Iesus Christ.
