Saint Peter, who preached principal- ly to the Jews, was denominated the 7ninijler of the circuvicijion ; and Saint Paul, who preached principally to the Gentiles, was de- nominated the min-Jier of the uncircumcfion. But it feems that fome of thofe believing Jews, who were ftrongly prejudiced in fa- vour of circumcifion, and very (trenuous, infilled that the Gentiles who believed, fi:iould be circumcifed. Paul and Barnabas were deputed as mefi^ngers to Jerufalem concerning this queftion. A conv...ention of Elders and Apoftles was called. They de- liberated, and decided agreeably to the opin- ion and praftice of Saint Paul; and the de- cifion was exceedingly gratifying to the Gen- tile converts. The convention appear to have confider- ed the cafe before them, principally, as a queftion of expediency. They did not pro- hibit the Jews from continuing the praBice of circumcifion; but thought it highly im- proper and impolitic, to impof'e this unnecef- fary burden on the believing Gentiles, it be- ing very giievous and contrary to their incJi- naiion.
