When Herod had taken Peter, 1he committed him to prison, intending after Easter to bring him forth to the people. Acts 12.4. ⟨p. 312⟩but these men cannot sleep till they have his blood, and therefore the preparation of the Passover being come, they resolve in all haste to destroy him; yet lest it should look like a downright murder, it shall be formalized with a trial. This his trial and condemnation are the two last acts, by which they prepared for his death: and are both contained in this context: in which we may observe, First, The Indictment. Secondly, The Sentence to which the judge proceeded.
