But Saul increased the more in strength and confounded the Iewes which dwelt at Damascus confirming 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 that is conferring or conioyning of places of Scriptures as Artificers being about to compact or ioyne a thing together are wont to fit all the parts amongst themselues that one of them may perfectly agree with each other that this was that Christ.
