But we will proceed. In the Third Chapter we find, that they who escaped converting by the first Sermon, are called upon again to except of Grace and Forgiveness for their Murder committed upon the Son of God. You have killed; yea, you have denied the Holy On▪ & the Just, an I desired the Murderer to be granted unto you. And killed the Prince of Life. Mark, he falls again upon the very Men, that actually were, as you have it in the Chapters following, his very Betrayers and Murderers. Acts 2.14.15. as being loth that they should escape the Mercy of Forgiveness. And Exhorts them again to repent, that their Sins may be blotted out, Verse 19, 20.
Again in the fourth Chapter, he charges them afresh with this Murder. Verse 10. But withal tells them, Salvation is in no other than like a heavenly Decoy, He puts himself also among them, to draw them the better under the Net of the Gospel, saying, There is none other Name under He even given among Men, whereby we must be saved, Verse 12.

In the fifth Chapter you find them Railing at him, because he continued Preaching among them Salvation in the Name of Jesus; but he tells them, that that very Jesus whom they had slain and hanged on a Tree, him GOD had raised up and exalted to be Prince, and a Saviour, to give Repentance to Israel, and Forgiveness of Sins, ver. 29, 30, 31. Still insinuating, that tho' they had killed him and to this Day rejected him, yet his Business was to bestow upon them Repentance and Forgiveness of Sins.
