2. Peter speaks to them concerning Christs Life; that he went about doing good. His Life was holy, free from sin, he did no evil, no injury to any man, he was harmless, his whole employment was to do good. Never was there such a man living upon the face of the Earth, who never committed any sin in his life, neither in thought, word, or deed. Some indeed have said they had no sin, but they have lied; for no man liveth that sinneth not: but Christ was born without sin, and lived without sin; he was perfectly good and righteous, and he did good. His Life was exactly according to the Rule; he fulfilled the Law not only by his passive, but also by his active Obedience.
3. Peter speaks to them concerning Christs Miracles, whereof they were witnesses: instance is given of his casting out Devils, likely he told them of more, of his calming the Winds and Sea with a ⟨p. 56⟩word, his feeding five thousand with five Loaves, his opening the eyes of them which were born blind, his raising the dead that had been buried several days, and the like; which works were a testimony of his Divinity, and that he came from the Father.
