He wrote indeed to converts; but Chriltian converts could retain Jewith prejudices; - his reafoning with them Ihews, that he was obliged to turn their own arms againl't them, which is a fort of hol'tile treatment. - In this Epiltle, he lowers the value of judaifm, making it only ih troductory and temporary; whereas many, even Chrifiians, wanted to make it perpetual.
