Peter calls the [Greek or Hebrew] of Pontus Galatia, &c. As St. James extending his Salutation to the same people in all places, the [Greek or Hebrew] of the Twelve Tribes.
Peter calls the 〈non-Latin alphabet〉 of Pontus Galatia, &c. As St. James extending his Salutation to the same people in all places, the 〈non-Latin alphabet〉 of the Twelve Tribes.
Besides many things insisted on by St. Peter in these Epistles, were peculiar to the Hebrews, who also were his especial Care: See 1 Epist. Chap. 1.10, 11, 12. Chap. 2.9, 21. Chap. 3.5.6. Chap. 4.7, 17. Eph. 2.19, 20, 21. Chap. 2.1, 11, &c. Chap. 3.10, 11, 12, 13, 14. and many other particular places of the same nature may be observed in them. To sum up our Evidence in this particular; Peter being in an especial manner the Apostle of the Circumcision or Hebrews, Gal. 2.7. having by his first Sermon converted many of these strangers of Cappadocia, Pontus, and Asia, Acts 2.9, 10, 41. ascribing that Title unto them to whom he wrote, which was the usual and proper Appellation of them in all the World, [Greek or Hebrew], James 1.1. John 7.35. treating with them for the most part about things peculiar to them in a special manner, and that with Arguments and from Principles peculiarly known unto them, as the places above quoted will manifest, there remains no ground of Question, but it was those Hebrews unto whom he wrote. Nor are the Exceptions that are made to this Evidence of any such importance, as once to deserve a remembrance by them, who design not a protracting of their Discourses by insisting on things unnecessary.
