On the last Lord's Day I preach'd to them again, both in the Morning and Afternoon, upon this Text, Acts 17. 30, 31. And the time of this Ignorance GOD winked at, but now commands all Men every where to repent: Because He has appointed a Day, in the which He will judge the World in Righteousness, by that Man whom He has ordained; whereof He has given Assurance unto all Men, in that He has raised Him from the Dead.
