How Holy a Doctrine doth Peter himself deliver as confirmed by this Apparition? 2 Pet. 1. 16, 17, 18. We have not followed cunningly devised Fables, when we made known to you the Power and Coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were Eye Witnesses of his Majesty: For he received from God the Father, Honour and Glory, when there came such a Voice to him from the excellent Glory, This is my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased: And this Voice which came from Heaven we heard when we were with him in the Holy Mount. The words [In whom I am well pleased] are only here and in Matthew: Mark and Luke omitting them, tell us that the Evangelists undertook not to recite all that was said and done, but each one so much as seemed necessary for him to say.

§ 42. And now what remaineth, O my Soul, but that thou take in the due Impression of this Apparition, of the Glory of Jesus and his Saints; and that thou joyfully obey this heavenly Voice, and Hear the Beloved Son of God in whom the Father is well pleased.
