and then whoever shall call on the name of the Lord, shall be saved."

for the promise is to you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.

and whoever he be that will not hear that prophet, shall be destroyed from among the people."

wherefore, brethren, chuse out of your number seven persons of good reputation, full of the holy spirit and wisdom, who may have the management of this affair:

in the mean time a famine spread over all the land of Egypt and Chanaan, so that our fathers did not know where to get provisions.

but he that did his neighbour the injury repelled Moses, saying, who made thee a ruler and a judge over us?

was there ever any prophet whom your fathers did not persecute? have they not slain those who predicted the coming of that just person whom you have so lately betrayed and murder'd?

and some devout men who carried Stephen to his burial, making great lamentation over him.

and after he had related to them the whole affair, he sent them to Joppa.

but Peter represented the whole affair to them,

put on your girdle, continu'd the angel, and bind on your sandals: which he did. throw your cloak over you, said the angel, and follow me.

but he made a sign to them with his hand, to be silent: and related to them, how the Lord had brought him out of the prison. go, said he, and acquaint James and the other brethren with this affair. after which he departed and went to another place.

and after the lesson out of the law and the prophets was finish'd, the heads of the synagogue sent this message to them; Men and brethren, if you have any instruction to offer to the people, deliver it.

know then, my brethren, it is by him, that the remission of sins is offer'd to you:

"consider you despisers, be surpriz'd and turn pale, for I shall perform a work in your days, which you will not believe, whoever shall declare it unto you."

but Paul and Barnabas told them boldly, you indeed were the first, to whom the word of God was to be preach'd: but since you reject it, and judge your own selves unworthy of eternal life, be assur'd, we shall make the same offer to the Gentiles:

even the priest of Jupiter, whose statue was at the city-gates, brought oxen and garlands there, and together with the people, would have offer'd sacrifice to the apostles.

being at a loss how to determine such an affair, I ask'd him if he would go to Jerusalem, and take his tryal there.
