CHAPTER II.
The Doctrines, which St. Peter taught, and the Power with which
he proclaimed them, evidence the Light and Support which
he received from the same Divine Spirit
CHAPTER III.
St. Peter's return to the service of Jesus after the crucifixion,
and his willingness to endure every suffering, rather than con-

repentance was sincere, and that his own mind was fully con-
vinced of the authority of the Doctrines, which he invited
others to embrace
