apostle_n 2.9_o gal._n 2.9_o for_o they_o be_v enforce_v to_o confess_v that_o it_o be_v he_o who_o paul_n commend_v so_o honourable_o that_o he_o make_v he_o the_o chief_a among_o the_o three_o pillar_n of_o the_o church_n assure_o a_o man_n inferior_a in_o order_n and_o degree_n can_v never_o have_v excel_v the_o apostle_n so_o far_o for_o paul_n give_v he_o the_o title_n of_o a_o apostle_n neither_o be_v that_o worth_a the_o hear_n which_o hierome_n bring_v that_o the_o word_n be_v general_a there_o see_v that_o the_o dignity_n of_o the_o order_n be_v there_o handle_v for_o as_o much_o as_o christ_n do_v prefer_v the_o apostle_n before_o other_o teacher_n of_o the_o church_n moreover_o we_o may_v gather_v out_o of_o this_o place_n that_o they_o make_v no_o small_a account_n of_o james_n forasmuch_o as_o he_o do_v with_o his_o voice_n and_o consent_v so_o confirm_v the_o word_n of_o peter_n 21.18_o cha._n 21.18_o that_o they_o be_v all_o of_o his_o mind_n and_o we_o shall_v see_v afterward_o how_o great_a his_o authority_n be_v at_o jerusalem_fw-la the_o old_a writer_n think_v that_o this_o be_v because_o he_o be_v bishop_n of_o the_o place_n but_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v think_v that_o the_o faithful_a do_v at_o their_o pleasure_n change_v the_o order_n which_o christ_n have_v appoint_v wherefore_o i_o do_v not_o doubt_v but_o that_o he_o be_v son_n to_o alpheus_n &_o christ_n cousin_n in_o which_o sense_n he_o be_v also_o call_v his_o brother_n whether_o he_o be_v bishop_n of_o jerusalem_fw-la or_o no_o i_o leave_v it_o indifferent_a neither_o do_v it_o great_o make_v for_o the_o matter_n save_v only_o because_o the_o impudency_n of_o the_o pope_n be_v hereby_o refute_v because_o the_o decree_n of_o the_o counsel_n be_v set_v down_o rather_o at_o the_o appointment_n and_o according_a to_o the_o authority_n of_o james_n then_o of_o peter_n and_o assure_o eusebius_n in_o the_o begin_n of_o his_o second_o book_n be_v not_o afraid_a to_o call_v james_n whosoever_o he_o be_v the_o bishop_n of_o the_o apostle_n let_v the_o man_n of_o rome_n go_v now_o &_o boast_v that_o their_o pope_n be_v head_n of_o the_o universal_a church_n because_o he_o be_v peter_n successor_n who_o suffer_v another_o to_o rule_v he_o if_o we_o believe_v eusebius_n man_n and_o brethren_n hear_v i_o james_n his_o oration_n consist_v upon_o two_o principal_a member_n for_o first_o he_o confirm_v and_o prove_v the_o call_n of_o the_o gentile_n by_o the_o testimony_n of_o the_o prophet_n amos_n second_o he_o show_v what_o be_v best_a to_o be_v do_v to_o nourish_v peace_n &_o concord_n among_o the_o faithful_a yet_o so_o that_o the_o liberty_n of_o the_o gentile_n may_v continue_v safe_a &_o sound_a &_o that_o the_o grace_n of_o christ_n may_v not_o be_v darken_v whereas_o peter_n be_v in_o this_o place_n call_v simeon_n it_o may_v be_v that_o this_o name_n be_v diverse_o pronounce_v then_o whereas_o he_o say_v that_o god_n do_v visit_v to_o take_v a_o people_n of_o the_o gentile_n it_o be_v refer_v unto_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n whereby_o he_o vouchsafe_v to_o receive_v stranger_n into_o his_o family_n it_o be_v in_o deed_n a_o harsh_a phrase_n yet_o such_o as_o contain_v a_o profitable_a doctrine_n because_o he_o make_v god_n the_o author_n of_o the_o call_n of_o the_o gentile_n and_o pronounce_v that_o it_o be_v through_o his_o goodness_n that_o they_o begin_v to_o be_v reckon_v among_o his_o people_n when_o he_o say_v that_o they_o be_v take_v by_o he_o but_o he_o proceed_v further_a when_o he_o say_v that_o he_o do_v visit_v that_o he_o may_v take_v for_o this_o be_v his_o meaning_n that_o at_o such_o time_n as_o the_o gentile_n be_v turn_v away_o from_o god_n he_o do_v merciful_o look_v upon_o they_o because_o we_o can_v do_v nothing_o but_o depart_v far_o and_o far_o from_o he_o until_o such_o time_n as_o his_o fatherly_a look_n prevent_v we_o of_o his_o own_o accord_n in_o his_o name_n the_o old_a interpreter_n have_v to_o his_o name_n which_o be_v almost_o all_o one_o though_o the_o preposition_n epi_fw-la may_v be_v otherwise_o translate_v to_o wit_n for_o his_o name_n or_o upon_o his_o name_n neither_o shall_v the_o sense_n disagree_v that_o the_o salvation_n of_o the_o gentile_n be_v ground_v in_o the_o power_n or_o name_n of_o god_n and_o that_o god_n do_v respect_v no_o other_o thing_n in_o call_v they_o but_o his_o own_o glory_n yet_o do_v i_o retain_v that_o which_o be_v more_o usual_a to_o wit_n that_o in_o number_v they_o among_o his_o people_n he_o will_v have_v they_o count_v in_o his_o name_n like_v as_o it_o shall_v be_v say_v short_o after_o that_o his_o name_n be_v call_v upon_o by_o all_o those_o who_o he_o gather_v together_o into_o his_o church_n the_o adverbe_n of_o time_n proton_fw-mi may_v be_v expound_v two_o way_n if_o you_o read_v it_o first_o as_o the_o old_a interpreter_n and_o erasmus_n have_v it_o the_o sense_n shall_v be_v that_o cornelius_n and_o other_o be_v as_o it_o be_v the_o first_o fruit_n at_o who_o god_n begin_v the_o call_n of_o the_o gentile_n but_o it_o may_v be_v take_v also_o comparitive_o because_o there_o be_v already_o some_o token_n of_o the_o adoption_n of_o the_o gentile_n show_v in_o cornelius_n and_o his_o cousin_n before_o that_o barnabas_n and_o paul_n preach_v the_o gospel_n to_o the_o gentile_n and_o i_o do_v better_o like_o this_o latter_a sense_n 15_o hereto_o agree_v the_o word_n of_o the_o prophet_n we_o see_v now_o how_o the_o apostle_n take_v nothing_o to_o themselves_o imperious_o but_o do_v reverent_o follow_v that_o which_o be_v prescribe_v in_o the_o word_n of_o god_n neither_o do_v it_o grieve_v they_o neither_o do_v they_o count_v it_o any_o disgrace_n to_o they_o to_o profess_v themselves_o to_o be_v the_o scholar_n of_o the_o scripture_n also_o we_o must_v here_o note_v that_o the_o use_n of_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o prophet_n be_v yet_o in_o force_n which_o some_o brainsick_a man_n will_v banish_v out_o of_o the_o church_n by_o cite_v the_o prophet_n in_o the_o plural_a number_n to_o be_v witness_n whereas_o he_o do_v allege_v one_o place_n only_o he_o signify_v that_o there_o be_v such_o a_o agreement_n among_o they_o that_o that_o which_o be_v speak_v by_o one_o be_v the_o common_a testimony_n of_o they_o all_o because_o they_o speak_v all_o with_o one_o mouth_n and_o every_o one_o speak_v as_o in_o the_o person_n of_o all_o or_o rather_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n speak_v in_o they_o all_o moreover_o the_o oracle_n of_o all_o the_o prophet_n be_v gather_v together_o that_o they_o may_v make_v one_o body_n wherefore_o that_o may_v worthy_o and_o fit_o be_v ascribe_v to_o all_o the_o prophet_n in_o general_a which_o be_v take_v out_o of_o some_o one_o part_n of_o the_o general_a book_n 16_o after_o these_o thing_n i_o will_v return_v because_o the_o place_n be_v not_o cite_v word_n for_o word_n as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o prophet_n we_o must_v see_v what_o difference_n there_o be_v though_o it_o be_v not_o necessary_a to_o examine_v strait_o what_o diversity_n there_o be_v in_o the_o word_n so_o it_o appear_v that_o the_o pprophecy_n do_v fit_o agree_v with_o the_o matter_n which_o be_v in_o hand_n after_o that_o god_n have_v promise_v the_o restore_n of_o the_o tabernacle_n of_o david_n he_o say_v also_o that_o he_o will_v bring_v to_o pass_v that_o the_o jew_n shall_v possess_v the_o remnant_n of_o edom._n in_o all_o that_o text_n there_o appear_v nothing_o as_o yet_o whence_o the_o call_n of_o the_o gentile_n can_v be_v fetch_v or_o gather_v but_o that_o which_o follow_v immediate_o after_o in_o the_o prophet_n concern_v the_o remnant_n of_o the_o gentile_n which_o shall_v call_v upon_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n do_v plain_o show_v that_o the_o jew_n &_o gentile_n shall_v make_v one_o church_n because_o that_o which_o be_v then_o proper_a to_o the_o jew_n alone_o be_v give_v to_o both_o in_o general_n for_o god_n place_v the_o gentile_n in_o like_a degree_n of_o honour_n with_o the_o jew_n when_o he_o will_v have_v they_o to_o call_v upon_o his_o name_n those_o of_o idumea_n and_o the_o people_n there_o about_o be_v in_o time_n pass_v under_o david_n subject_n to_o the_o jew_n but_o though_o they_o be_v tributary_n to_o the_o people_n of_o god_n yet_o be_v they_o nevertheless_o stranger_n from_o the_o church_n therefore_o this_o be_v news_n &_o a_o strange_a thing_n in_o that_o god_n reckon_v they_o up_o with_o the_o holy_a people_n that_o he_o may_v be_v call_v the_o god_n of_o they_o al._n see_v that_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o they_o be_v all_o make_v equal_a in_o honour_n among_o themselves_o by_o this_o mean_n whereby_o it_o do_v plain_o appear_v how_o well_o the_o testimony_n of_o
