still_o in_o his_o apostelship_n at_o jerusalem_n and_o not_o in_o his_o pontifical_a dignity_n at_o rome_n but_o here_o it_o may_v be_v fayde_v that_o s._n hierome_n and_o diverse_a other_o which_o

the_o forsayde_a synod_n can_v be_v hold_v this_o same_o year_n that_o paul_n come_v to_o athens_n weigh_v also_o that_o many_o more_o notable_a city_n be_v in_o these_o country_n galacia_n mysia_n

beside_o all_o this_o if_o it_o be_v to_o be_v understode_v as_o hierome_n make_v it_o then_o if_o you_o account_v it_o in_o the_o table_n you_o shall_v find_v it_o to_o be_v one_o year_n further_o that_o be_v the_o year_n 52._o and_o it_o be_v plain_a to_o be_v more_o untrue_a for_o then_o by_o this_o time_n paul_n have_v continue_v a_o year_n in_o corinthe_n and_o so_o have_v not_o be_v in_o jerusalem_n in_o two_o year_n before_o the_o conclusion_n therefore_o be_v that_o the_o say_a counsel_n can_v not_o be_v hold_v according_a to_o the_o account_n make_v by_o hierome_n ▪_o and_o therefore_o s._n paul_n word_n must_v be_v understand_v as_o i_o say_v before_o namely_o of_o fourtene_a year_n after_o his_o conversion_n and_o then_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o peter_n be_v yet_o in_o jerusalem_n in_o the_o year_n 49._o but_o to_o proceed_v it_o may_v be_v demand_v where_o peter_n be_v from_o the_o time_n of_o his_o delivery_n out_o of_o prison_n at_o jerusalem_n to_o the_o time_n of_o this_o synod_n that_o be_v from_o the_o four_o year_n of_o claudius_n to_o the_o seven_o year_n of_o his_o reign_n perhaps_o peter_n go_v to_o rome_n at_o some_o time_n between_o those_o

history_n of_o the_o scripture_n confer_v one_o place_n with_o a_o other_o it_o shall_v appear_v that_o although_o it_o be_v not_o specify_v in_o the_o act_n yet_o peter_n be_v at_o antioch_n in_o this_o time_n for_o paul_n in_o the_o second_o to_o the_o gallathians_n say_v that_o peter_n come_v to_o antioch_n which_o can_v not_o be_v at_o any_o time_n before_o this_o time_n of_o his_o

the_o time_n of_o this_o counsel_n for_o first_o peter_n be_v at_o antioch_n paul_n say_v of_o himself_o that_o he_o reprove_v peter_n even_o to_o his_o face_n because_o that_o he_o do_v eat_v with_o the_o gentile_n till_o certain_a come_v from_o james_n from_o jerusalem_n and_o then_o peter_n be_v afraid_a to_o offend_v those_o circumcise_a do_v shrink_v away_o from_o the_o gentile_n and_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o jew_n yea_o and_o barnabas_n also_o fall_v into_o the_o same_o dissimulation_n with_o they_o this_o dissemble_n of_o peter_n be_v one_o reason_n to_o prove_v that_o it_o be_v before_o the_o counsel_n for_o it_o seem_v to_o peter_n a_o doubtful_a matter_n whether_o he_o may_v be_v conversaunt_a with_o the_o gentile_n which_o if_o it_o have_v be_v as_o it_o be_v afterward_o by_o the_o counsel_n determine_v that_o circumcision_n be_v not_o necessary_a then_o have_v peter_n be_v out_o of_o doubt_n what_o to_o do_v therein_o and_o will_v have_v deal_v plain_o according_a to_o the_o truth_n which_o he_o have_v know_v manifest_o again_o if_o it_o have_v be_v after_o the_o counsel_n the_o matter_n be_v discuss_v and_o agree_v upon_o peter_n shall_v not_o have_v have_v any_o cause_n to_o dissemble_v for_o fear_n of_o offend_v they_o in_o that_o point_n that_o come_v from_o james_n neither_o need_v he_o to_o have_v mistrust_v that_o they_o will_v mislike_v of_o that_o which_o shall_v have_v be_v allow_v by_o the_o church_n neither_o will_v peter_n have_v regard_v more_o their_o unjust_a offence_n than_o the_o decree_n of_o the_o counsel_n last_o of_o all_o in_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o 15._o of_o the_o act_n luke_n make_v mention_v of_o such_o that_o come_v from_o jerusalem_n and_o trouble_v the_o church_n at_o antioch_n about_o circumcision_n and_o how_o paul_n and_o barnabas_n stand_v against_o they_o and_o hereupon_o ensue_v the_o say_a counsel_n and_o thus_o it_o appear_v that_o peter_n be_v at_o antioch_n at_o this_o time_n and_o hitherto_o
