Then also they do with like liberty go on to the other side, to show 1their opinion of Paul and Barnabas, yea, they do adorn them as their messengers with a most holy testimonial, to the end that they may among all men have the more authority, and that all men may understand, that betwixt them twain and the other Apostles there was a full agreement and consent of doctrine & religion: We being gathered together with one accord, say they, have sent messengers unto you. Lo here, of the false apostles they testified, that they sent them not, nor gave them any commandment: but these men they send, and do with one accord give them a commandment. But who be they whom they send? Our beloved Paul and Barnabas which have jeoparded their lives for the name of Christ Jesus. These twain are most choice Apostles and holy, glorious martyrs, our dearly beloved brethren, being of the same religion and doctrine with us, who have declared what their lives and doctrine is, by their manifold virtues, and manful suffering of peril and dangers.
