inward_o persuade_v of_o the_o truth_n and_o excellency_n of_o the_o christian_a religion_n and_o i_o confess_v i_o can_v but_o wonder_n that_o since_o celsus_n be_v so_o fond_a of_o speak_v in_o the_o person_n of_o a_o jew_n he_o did_o make_v he_o direct_v his_o discourse_n to_o the_o gentile_n rather_o than_o to_o his_o own_o countryman_n for_o it_o will_v have_v carry_v with_o it_o a_o far_o more_o plausible_a appearance_n if_o it_o have_v be_v direct_v by_o he_o to_o those_o who_o embrace_v the_o religion_n which_o we_o profess_v and_o be_v gentile_n like_o ourselves_o but_o it_o seem_v this_o mighty_a man_n with_o all_o his_o knowledge_n to_o which_o he_o make_v such_o great_a pretence_n do_v not_o know_v or_o at_o least_o do_v seem_v to_o i_o not_o due_o to_o consider_v the_o nature_n of_o that_o figure_n of_o speech_n which_o we_o make_v use_v of_o when_o we_o speak_v in_o the_o person_n of_o another_o let_v we_o see_v therefore_o what_o he_o say_v to_o those_o jew_n who_o embrace_v the_o christian_a religion_n he_o say_v that_o suffer_v themselves_o to_o be_v most_o shameful_o delude_v by_o our_o saviour_n they_o leave_v the_o religion_n of_o their_o ancestor_n and_o alter_v both_o their_o name_n and_o their_o course_n of_o life_n but_o he_o do_v consider_v that_o the_o jew_n who_o believe_v in_o our_o bless_a saviour_n do_v not_o total_o renounce_v the_o law_n of_o their_o justly-admired_a progenitor_n and_o forefather_n but_o live_v in_o the_o observance_n of_o it_o derive_v their_o appellation_n from_o a_o word_n that_o denote_v the_o poverty_n of_o the_o mere_a letter_n of_o the_o law_n for_o ebion_n in_o the_o hebrew_n language_n signify_v poor_a and_o the_o convert_a jew_n be_v call_v by_o the_o name_n of_o ebionites_n and_o st._n peter_n himself_o for_o a_o considerabe_n time_n observe_v the_o jewish_a rite_n that_o be_v prescribe_v by_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n as_o not_o have_v yet_o learn_v even_o from_o our_o bless_a saviour_n to_o ascend_v as_o it_o be_v from_o their_o literal_a to_o their_o spiritual_a mean_v as_o we_o have_v the_o matter_n relate_v to_o we_o in_o the_o act_n of_o the_o apostle_n on_o the_o morrow_n as_o they_o go_v on_o their_o journey_n and_o draw_v act_n 1._o v._o 9_o etc._n etc._n nigh_o unto_o the_o city_n peter_n go_v up_o upon_o the_o housetop_n to_o pray_v about_o the_o six_o hour_n and_o he_o become_v very_o hungry_a and_o will_v have_v eat_v but_o while_o they_o make_v ready_a he_o fall_v into_o a_o trance_n and_o see_v heaven_n open_v and_o a_o certain_a vessel_n descend_v unto_o he_o as_o it_o have_v be_v a_o great_a sheet_n knit_v at_o the_o four_o corner_n and_o let_v down_o to_o the_o earth_n wherein_o be_v all_o manner_n of_o fourfooted_n beast_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o wild_a beast_n and_o creep_v thing_n and_o fowl_n of_o the_o air._n and_o there_o come_v a_o voice_n to_o he_o rise_z peter_z kill_z and_o eat_v but_o peter_n say_v not_o so_o lord_n for_o i_o have_v never_o eat_v any_o thing_n that_o be_v common_a or_o unclean_a and_o the_o voice_n speak_v to_o he_o again_o the_o second_o time_n what_o god_n have_v cleanse_v that_o call_v thou_o not_o common_a you_o see_v here_o that_o st._n peter_n himself_o that_o eminent_a apostle_n be_v represent_v to_o we_o as_o retain_v the_o jewish_a distinction_n between_o clean_a and_o unclean_a meat_n and_o it_o be_v plain_a from_o what_o follow_v in_o the_o history_n that_o nothing_o less_o than_o a_o vision_n can_v engage_v he_o to_o preach_v the_o doctrine_n of_o faith_n in_o christ_n to_o cornelius_n who_o be_v not_o descend_v from_o the_o israelite_n and_o to_o his_o friend_n that_o attend_v he_o for_o he_o be_v a_o jew_n and_o observe_v the_o tradition_n of_o the_o jewish_a church_n have_v a_o contemptible_a notion_n of_o the_o gentile_n and_o the_o apostle_n paul_n in_o the_o epistle_n to_o the_o galatian_n acquaint_v we_o that_o st._n peter_n for_o fear_n of_o displease_v the_o jew_n refuse_v to_o eat_v with_o the_o gentile_n for_o before_o that_o certain_a come_v from_o james_n he_o do_v eat_v with_o the_o gentile_n but_o when_o they_o be_v come_v he_o withdraw_v and_o separate_v himself_o gal._n two_o v._o 12._o fear_v they_o which_o be_v of_o the_o circumcision_n and_o the_o other_o jew_n dissemble_v likewise_o with_o he_o insomuch_o that_o barnabas_n also_o be_v carry_v away_o with_o their_o dissimulation_n and_o it_o be_v not_o i_o think_v whole_o incongruous_a that_o they_o shall_v comply_v in_o some_o measure_n with_o the_o jewish_a rite_n who_o be_v entrust_v with_o the_o apostleship_n of_o the_o circumcision_n for_o they_o who_o seem_v to_o be_v pillar_n give_v paul_n and_o barnabas_n the_o right_a hand_n of_o fellowship_n the_o former_a person_n direct_v their_o course_n to_o the_o circumcision_n but_o need_v i_o say_v that_o they_o who_o preach_v to_o the_o jew_n withdraw_v and_o separate_v themselves_o from_o the_o gentile_n when_o the_o apostle_n paul_n himself_o become_v a_o jew_n to_o the_o jew_n that_o he_o may_v win_v upon_o they_o we_o read_v therefore_o in_o the_o act_n of_o the_o apostle_n that_o he_o offer_v a_o oblation_n upon_o the_o altar_n to_o show_v that_o he_o have_v altogether_o renounce_v the_o jewish_a law_n in_o which_o he_o have_v be_v educate_v and_o of_o which_o he_o be_v once_o so_o passionate_a a_o admirer_n have_v celsus_n know_v all_o this_o he_o will_v never_o have_v introduce_v a_o jew_n addressing_z himself_o to_o those_o who_o be_v convert_v from_o judaisme_n to_o the_o christian_a faith_n in_o the_o follow_a manner_n what_o be_v the_o matter_n say_v he_o my_o dear_o belove_a countryman_n that_o you_o have_v on_o a_o sudden_a renounce_v the_o religion_n of_o your_o father_n and_o ancestor_n and_o suffer_v yourselves_o to_o be_v so_o shameful_o delude_v by_o your_o pretend_a saviour_n as_o to_o be_v prevail_v with_o to_o alter_v your_o name_n and_o course_n of_o

i_o think_v it_o may_v not_o be_v improper_a to_o quote_v a_o passage_n of_o our_o saviour_n in_o st._n john_n gospel_n and_o a_o little_a to_o explain_v it_o i_o have_v say_v he_o many_o thing_n yet_o john_n xuj_o v._o 12_o 13._o to_o say_v unto_o you_o but_o you_o can_v bear_v they_o now_o but_o when_o he_o the_o spirit_n of_o truth_n be_v come_v he_o will_v guide_v you_o into_o all_o truth_n for_o he_o shall_v not_o speak_v of_o himself_o but_o whatsoever_o he_o shall_v hear_v that_o shall_v he_o speak_v now_o i_o ask_v celsus_n jew_n what_o be_v these_o thing_n that_o our_o saviour_n have_v to_o say_v to_o his_o disciple_n which_o under_o their_o present_a circumstance_n they_o be_v not_o in_o a_o capacity_n to_o relish_v be_v not_o this_o his_o desire_n viz._n to_o instruct_v they_o since_o they_o be_v jew_n and_o by_o consequence_n acquaint_v with_o the_o letter_n of_o the_o mosaic_a law_n i_o say_v to_o instruct_v they_o in_o the_o true_a sense_n of_o the_o law_n which_o the_o type_n and_o ceremony_n under_o the_o legal_a dispensation_n do_v but_o imperfect_o represent_v and_o to_o give_v they_o a_o new_a light_n into_o those_o good_a thing_n to_o come_v of_o which_o the_o various_a rite_n concern_v pure_a and_o impure_a meat_n and_o drink_n concern_v festival_n new-moon_n and_o sabbath_n be_v all_o but_o obscure_a and_o in_o themselves_o very_o mean_v and_o contemptible_a shadow_n these_o without_o doubt_n be_v the_o thing_n which_o their_o bless_a lord_n will_v have_v communicate_v to_o they_o but_o know_v very_o well_o how_o difficult_a a_o thing_n it_o be_v to_o disengage_v the_o mind_n from_o those_o notion_n which_o i_o have_v almost_o say_v be_v of_o as_o early_o a_o date_n as_o its_o own_o original_a and_o be_v daily_o more_o deep_o root_v in_o our_o very_a nature_n by_o the_o strong_a prejudices_fw-la of_o our_o birth_n and_o education_n and_o especial_o when_o one_o look_n upon_o they_o as_o have_v the_o awful_a stamp_n of_o a_o divine_a authority_n and_o by_o consequence_n as_o be_v too_o important_a and_o too_o true_a to_o be_v call_v in_o question_n or_o but_o slight_o regard_v know_v i_o say_v and_o consider_v how_o difficult_a a_o thing_n it_o be_v to_o convince_v person_n under_o such_o unhappy_a circumstance_n and_o to_o persuade_v they_o that_o the_o ceremonial_a law_n be_v loss_n and_o dung_n in_o
