held the clothes of some barbar-

Christians named Stephen, to
death with stones, was always &C

God turned Saul's heart after

Damascus to find out some Chris

them to prison, there shone about
him a great light from Heaven;
a voice cried, Saul, Saul, why
persecutest thou me" and he was
struck down from his horse, by an
invisible hand, in sight of all the
guards and soldiers who were rid

him, they found that he was
blind; and so he remained for
three days, neither eating nor
drinking, until one of the Chris

that purpose) restored his sight in
the name of Jesus Christ. After
which, he became a Christian, and
