Delivering thee from the people and from the Gentiles unto whom I now send thee To open their eyes and to turn them from darknesse to light and from the power of Satan unto God that they may receive forgivenesse of sins and inheritance among them that are sanctified by faith in me Whereupon I was not disobedient to the heavenly Vision but shewed first to them at Damascus and at Ierusalem and throughout all the coasts of Iudea and then to the Gentiles that they should repent and turn to God and do works meet for repentance Luke 24. 47. that repentance and forgivenesse of sins should be preached in his Name among all Nations Act 20 20 21.

For as much as we have heard that certain which went out from us have troubled you with words subverting your souls saying Yee must be circumcised and keep the Law compared with Gal. 1. 6 7 8. 9. I marvel that you are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another Gospel which is not another but there are some that trouble you and would pervert the Gospel of Christ but though we or an Angel from heaven preach another Gospel unto you then that which we have preached unto you let him be accursed As wee said before so say I now again If any man preach any other Gospel unto you then that ye have received let him be accursed Gal 5. Ver. 2. 4 5. Behold I Paul say unto you that if yee be circumcised Christ shall profit you nothing Christ is become of none effect to you whosoever of you are justified by the Law ye are faln from grace for we through the Spirit wait for the hope of righteousess by faith Rom. 9. v. 31 32. 33. But Israel which followed after the Law of righteousness hath not attained to the Law of righteousnesse wherefore because they sought it not by faith but as it were by the works of the Law for they stumbled at that stumbling stone As it is written Behold I lay in Sion a stumbling stone and rock of offence and whosoever beleeveth on him shall not be ashamed compared with Rom. 10. v. 3 4. For they being ignorant of Gods righteousness and going about to establish their own righteousness have not submitted themselves unto the righteousnes of God for Christ is the end of the Law for righteousness for every one that beleeveth Rom. 1. 16 17. I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that beleeveth to the Jew first and also to the Greek for therein is the rightnousness of God revealed from faith to faith as it is written The just shall live by faith compared with Gal. 3. 11. But that no man is justified by the Law in the sight of God it is evident for the just shall live by faith Eph. 2. 8 9. 10. For by grace ye are saved through faith and that not of your selves it is the gift of God not of works least any man should boast for we are his workmanship
