For ignorance, you quote the Hebrews which I think hurts not me, that of 1 Cor. 15.34. Is the most likely, but sir do you think it was such gross ignorance as I have given instance? was not Paul as true to his work as Abraham or the Jews were to be in admitting to circumcision, which you mention Page 445. I have found so much ignorance that the persons deserved shame, but yet dared not keep from the Lords Supper, because I found such a work on the heart, which showed they had the thing, though could not express the thing in a definition.
