And laftly, by fetting forth the fun- dry Difpenfations of God to Mankind, by opening the Myftery of the Law that came by MofeSy as figurative of the Gofpel, and how the Prophets did point at the fame Thing. Fir ft then, By Narration of God's dealing with his People in paft Ages. Such was the Sermon of Stephen^ Acls the viith, and of Taiil^ A6ts the xiiith, both which have the fame Tendency ; for that of Stephen^ Acts the viith, the firft Part of what he faid, was by enumerating God's Dealings ...with Abraham^ with Ifaac, and with Ijrael, to gain the Attention and Notice of his Hear- ers : For the Subftance of that Sermon was to let them fee, they were a6led by the fame Spirit as were their Fore-fathers who ftoned the Prophets, and put them to Death. For (fays he) as your Fathers did, Jo do ye^ always refijl the Holy Ghoft.
