As Peter picaelied, the Holy Spirit sealed the

saving tho soul, and setting apart for Christian
service them that believed in Jesus Christ.

(2 Pet. 1, 10), it was not a populir rumor that

nu.ingemcnt of fads. It is a dodiiue, a s.vleiii
of Until, designed for the spiiitu'il pioflt of me.i.
This Peter immediately dtilaicel to Coiuelius,
and said, moreover, that lie was appointed to
pleach this doctrine or Until unto Hie pernio.
That doctrine was lu two p..rts, which he gives
in an imeitcd older: 1. That there i leniivunn

ther, und as held and taught by nil the piophels
mult r tlie nil dispensation. 2. That this -aine
Jesus is ordained or appointed to be judge of
the living and of the dead. (I Tim. iv, ,) It
is intcic.stlng to note that in announcing the
above Pcler dcclaics that Jeus bid commanded
him to preach those things. It sums tint
with his broaeler dew of the scope of the gospel
ho had closer view of its essence, a lccolleellon

would be fpiiitual, atiordlng power and giving

tended to convince men that the gcmpel wm i.ot
a human invention but a Divine uallty, and that
the icsiilts were not through man'i wisdom but
Cod's power. (1 Cor. ii, IJ.) And to It caiiio
to pas all through the apostolic ministry. Ac
cordingly while Peter was i-peaklng to Cornelius,
the Holy lilio.it fell on those that heaid, Jews
and (ientllea alike, thu companions of Peter and
4ho cenaiits of Coinclius. 11 was Pentcco-t ie-
