not only in this place, but also elsewhere in the same book, the
Apostle Peter declared that the Church was built by the Holy
Spirit. For you read that he said: “God, Which
knoweth the hearts of men, bare witness, giving them the Holy Spirit,
even as also to us; and He made no distinction between us and them,
purifying their hearts by faith.” Acts xv. 8, 9. In which is to be considered, that
as Christ is the Cornerstone, Who joined together both peoples into
one, so, too, the Holy Spirit made no distinction between the hearts of
each people, but united them.
