Not Paul

I Argument

Ch. Paul’s Character

2

§. Insincerity

All things to all men &c.

All things to all men. Good for Paul, is it equally good for Peter? Oh no: here / by

this / the case is altered. That which being done by Paul is in Paul’s mouth /

declared judgment / estimation // matter of praise to Paul, being done by Peter is in

the mouth of this same Paul matter of blame and reproach to Peter. To and in his

intercourse with the Jews / Gentiles / to gain the Jews / Gentiles / he becomes as a

Jew he acknowledges / denies / the obligatoriness of the Mosaic law. To and in his

intercourse with the Gentiles / Jews / he denies / acknowledges / the obligatoriness

of that same law.

I. Cor. IX. 19. 20. 21. 22. For though I be free from all men, yet have I made

myself servant unto all that I might gain the more.

20. And unto the Jews I became as a Jew that I might gain the Jews; to them that are

under the law, that I might gain them that are under the law.

21. To them that are without law, as without law, (being not without law to God, but

under the law to Christ,) that I might gain them that are without law.

22. To the weak, became I as weak, that I might gain the weak: I am made JB footnote at this point: ‘Note (a) is in p.

1’. [Note on f. 69] all things to all men, that I might by all means save

some.

Good all this and not only good but matter of merit and matter of merit to get money

by / be paid for in money / so long as it is by Paul that it is done. But a little

while, and according to that same Paul, we shall see it done by Peter and then we

shall see how bad it is.

Gal. II. 11. 12. 13. 11 But when Peter was come to Antioch, I withstood him to the

face, because he was to be blamed.

12. For before that certain came from James he did eat with the Gentiles, but when

they were come he withdrew and separated himself, fearing them which were of the

circumcision―

13. And the other Jews dissembled likewise with him; insomuch that Barnabas also was

carried away with their dissimulation.
