Modern spelling is a reading aid: the words are the author’s, only the spelling is modernized. Original shows the page as printed, with the transcription marks.
I say, he preached now on that day to them and their Proselytes, because that day was theirs by their estimation: He did it, I say, of great love to their Souls, that if possible, he might save some of them.
Wherefore, it you observe, you shall still find, that where 'tis said that he preached on that day, it was to that people, not to the Churches ⟨p. 106⟩of Christ. See Acts 9. 20. ch. 13. 14, 15, 16. ch. 16. 13. ch. 17. 1, 2, 3. ch. 18. 4.
Thus, though he had put away •e sanction of that day as to himself, and had left the Christians that were weak to their liberty as to conscience to it, yet he takes occasion upon it to preach to the Jews that still were wedded to it, the Faith, that they might be saved by Grace.
Paul did also many other things that were Jewish and Ceremonial, for which he had, as then, no conscience at all, as to any Sanction that he believed was in them.
