In Switzerland from 1516 to 1525 - James Aitken Wylie

lose sight of his grand object, which was to restore
the Gospel to its rightful place in the sanctuary, and
in the hearts of the people. He had ended his
exposition of the Gospel of St. Matthew. He
proceeded next to the consideration of the Acts of
the Apostles, that he might be able to show his
hearers the primitive model of the Church, and how
the Gospel was spread in the first ages. Then he
went on to the 1st Epistle to Timothy, that he might
unfold the rules by which all Christians ought to
frame their lives. He turned next to the Epistle to
the Galatians, that he might reach those who, like
some in St. Paul's days, had still a weakness for the
old leaven; then to the two Epistles of St. Peter,
that he might show his audience that St. Peter's
authority did not rise above that of St. Paul, who,
on St. Peter's confession, had fed the flock equally
with himself. Last of all he expounded the Epistle
to the Hebrews, that he might fix the eyes of his
congregation on a more glorious priesthood than
that of the Jews of old, or that of Rome in modern
times–on that of the great Monarch and Priest of
His Church, who by His one sole sacrifice had
sanctified for ever them that believe.
