Peter. There is for every one of you.
Repent and be Baptized every one of you, in the Name of Jesus Christ for the Remission of Sins. And ye shall receive the Gift of the Holy Ghost. O! what a Blessed every one of you, is here! How willing was Peter and his Lord Jesus by his Ministry, to catch these Murderers with the Word of the Gospel, that they might be made Monuments of the Grace of GOD! How unwilling, I say was he, that any of these should escape the Hand of Mercy! Yea, what an amazing Wonder is it, to think that above all the World, and above every body in it, These should have the first offer of Mercy, beginning at Jerusalem.
