For Peter in the second Chapter of the Acts of the Apostles, doth expound the xvj. Psalm of Christ his resurrection from the dead. And Philip also doth plainly expound to the noble man of Ethiop the prophecy of Isaiah, whereby he bringeth him to the faith of Christ, and fellowship of the Church. Whosoever doth say that Paul doth not every where interpret the holy Scripture, he hath neither read nor seen the deeds nor writings of Paul.
