Gen. 31.5 when false witnesses did calumniate Steven before the Council then found he most of Gods special presence and a testimony from heaven His face did shine as the face of an Angel Act. 6.15 When the Councill gnashed upon him with their teeth in that hour of darknesse he saw most of the glory of his God he saw the glory of God and Jesus standing on the right hand of God Act. 7.54 55.
