Here ye may plainly see that Paul chargeth Peter with dissimulation. If Peter dissembled,1 then did he certainly know what was the truth and what was not. He that dissembleth sinneth not of ignorance,2 but deceiveth by a colour which he knoweth himself to be false. And other (saith he) dissembled likewise with Peter, in so much that Barnabas also (who was Pauls companion, & had now a long time preached among the Gentiles faith in Christ without the law, together with Paul) was brought into their dissimulation. Ye have here then Peters offence plainly described to be mere dissimulation, which afterwards had ben an occasion of the ruin of the Gospel then newly received, if Paul had not resisted him.
