This seemeth to be a hard text,1 where Paul saith that the gospel over the uncircumcision was committed unto him, & over the circumcision unto Peter, when notwithstanding Paul almost every where preached to the Jews in their Synagogues, and Peter likewise to the Gentiles. There are examples & testimonies of both in the Acts. Peter converted the Centurion with his family, which was a Gentile. He wrote also to the Gentiles, as his first epistle testifieth.2 Paul preaching Christ among the Gentiles,3 entereth notwithstanding into the Synagogues of the Jews, and there preacheth the gospel. And our Saviour Christ in Matthew and Mark commandeth his apostles to go throughout the whole world, and preach the Gospel to every creature.4 Paul likewise saith: The gospel preached to every creature which is under heaven. 5Why then doth he call himself the Apostle of the Gentiles, and Peter with the other, the Apostles of the circumcision?
