30The God of oure fathers raysed vp Ie Iesus whom ye slewe and hanged on tre.Select Acts 5:30

38And now I saye vnto you: refrayne youre selves from these men let them alone. For yf ye cousell or this worke be of men it will come to nought.Select Acts 5:38

39But and yf it be of God ye can not destroye it lest haply ye be founde to stryve agaynst God.Select Acts 5:39
