during his own times. This Gofpel* in 
our arrangement, no doubt, is the fecond, 
and called after its Greek tranflater Mark. 
“The church-hiftory has probably been in- 
corporated with the Aéts of the Apottles, 
and extends from.the ‘12th ver‘e of the rft 
chapter tothe end of the 12th chapter. At 
Jeaft thefe two narratives are drawn up with 
that continuoufnefs, that artiefs wondering 
honefty, that warmth of zeal, and thofe 
perfonalities of allufion, which might be 
expected from Peter ; and there are coin- 
cidences (compare Mark IX. 7 and 2 
Peter I. 173 alfo Aéts IV. 13, and 2 
Peter IT. 16) which favour the belief 
of a common origin. In all thefe works 
of Peter there are traces of the currency

the Wifdom ; and in his latter works of
