Acts10:22
22 And they said, Cornelius the centurion , a just man, and one that feareth God, and of good report among all the nation of the Jews, was warned from God by an holy angel, to send for thee into his house, and to hear words of thee.
That they might speed in their message, they labour to prevent all prejudice Peter might have against Cornelius, who was a Gentile by title; telling him, 1. That he was a just man, (as is said of Ioseph, Matth. 1.19.) 2. That he
worshipped the true God, the same with the Iews, and not the false gods of the Gentiles. 3. That he was reputed a pious and good man, and so it would be no disparagement to the Apostles to go unto him.
This argument St. Peter could not deny, When Gods command is evident his people are determined, and resolved.
