After that Cornelius had sent for Peter to Joppa, he sent for many of his friends to his house, and when ⟨p. 39⟩they were come together, and Peter was come, and had a relation from Cornelius of his •ision, and they had told him, that they were all there present before God, to hear the things which were commanded him of God. Vers. 34. he begins his Sermon. Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive, that God is no respectre of persons▪ but in every Nation he that feareth him and worketh righteousness is accepted with him. The Word which God sent unto the Children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ (he is Lord of all) That Word (I say) ye know, which was published throughout all Judea, and began from Galilee, after the Baptism which John preached: How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost, and with power, who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the Devil, for God was with him. And we are witnesses of all things which he did, both in the land of Judea, and in Jerusalem, whom they slew and hanged on a tree: him God raised up the third day, and showed him openly; not to all the people, but to witnesses chosen before of God, even to us who did eat and drink with him after he rose from the dead. And he commanded us to preach unto the people, and to testify, that it was he which was ordained of God to be the Judge of quick and dead. To him gave all the Prophets witness, that through his Name, whosoever believeth on him shall receive remission of sins.
