Iesus Christ was the minister of circumcision for the truth of God to confirme the promises made vnto the fathers 9 And the gentiles ought to praise God for his mercy as it is written for this cause I wil confesse thee amongst the Gentiles and wil sing vnto thy name 10 And againe he saith reioyce you gentiles with his people 11 And againe praise the Lord al yee gentiles magnifie him together all yee people 12 And againe Esay saith there shal be a roote of lesse and he which shall rise to rule the nations in him shal the gentiles trust 7 Therefore receiue one another Hee returneth vnto his exhortation for confirmation wherof he alway reteyneth the example of Christ For he hauing imbraced not one or two of vs but altogether hath so ioyned vs together that wee ought to cherishe one another if that we will abyde in his bosome So then wee shall confirme our vocation or calling if wee separate not our selues from those to whom the Lorde hath bounde vs. This parcell to the glory may bee referred either vnto vs or vnto Christe onely or vnto vs and him together Which latter doth like me best to this sense as Christ hath manifested the glory of his father in receiuing vs all into fauour when we stoode in need of mercy so we also to the setting foorth of the glory of the same God ought to establish that coniunctiō which we haue in Christe 9 And I say that Iesus Christe Nowe he sheweth howe Christ hath receiued vs all where hee leaueth no difference betweene the Iewes and Gentiles saue that he was first promised to the Iewes and in a manner peculierly appointed to them before hee shoulde be exhibited to the Gentiles Howbeit he sheweth that euen in that which was the cause of all contentions there was no difference betweene them because hee collected or gathered them both from a miserable dissipation or dispersion and being gathered together hath brought them into the kingdome of the father that they might bee one flocke in one folde vnder one sheepehearde Thereupon hee inferreth that they ought to agree amongst themselues and not contemne one another seeing Christ did contemne neyther of them First therefore hee speaketh of the Iewes and saith Christ was sent vnto them that hee might fulfill the trueth of God in perfourming the promises giuen to the fathers And this is a singuler honor that Christ being Lord of heauen and earth became fleshe that he might serue to their saluation For the more he humbled himselfe for their sake the more he honoured them And that he taketh as vndoubted for a thing confessed whereby it is more woonderfull that there should be so great impudencie in certayne phrensie heades that they doubt not to conclude in the fleshe and tye vnto this present worlde all the promises of the olde Testament And least the Gentiles shoulde arrogate to themselues anye dignitie aboue the Iewes Paule plainelye denounceth that saluation whiche Christe brought in respect of the couenaunt to be proper vnto the Iewes because by his comming hee fulfilled that which the Father in olde time promised to Abraham and so was the minister of that people Wherby it foloweth that the old couenant indeede was spirituall notwithstanding it was annexed vnto earthly figures For that accomplishment of the which Paule now speaketh must needes hee referred vnto eternall saluation Finally least any should cauill that saluation was onely promised to the nephewes seeing the couenant was committed to the hands of Abraham expresly he bindeth the promises to the fathers Therefore either the vertue of Christ shal be conteined in corporall benefites or the couenant made with Abraham is extended further then to the flesh The calling of the Gentiles 9 And the Gentiles for his mercie This is the other member in confirming wherof because it was doubtfull he staieth longer Psal 18.50 2. Sam. 22.50 The first testimonie which hee citeth is taken out of the 18. Psalme which Psalme is rehearsed in the seconde of Samuel where without dout is vttered a prophesie of the kingdome of Christ Furthermore Paule proueth the calling of the Gentiles thereby because there is promised the confession of the glory of God amongst the Gentiles For we can not preach God truly but amongest such as do truely heare his prayses whiles they are published of vs. Wherfore that the name of God might be celebrated amongst the Gentiles they must needes be indued with knowledge and come into the felowshippe of the people of God For thou mayest see this euery where in the Scripture that the prayse of God can not bee preached but in the congregation of the faythfull whose eares are capable to heare his prayse 10 Reioyce yee Gentiles with his people Where as they commonly interpret this verse as thought it were taken out of the song of Moses that I like not because in that place Moses goeth about rather to terrifie the aduersaries of Israell with his greatnesse then to inuite them vnto a common reioycing Therefore I take it rather to be borrowed out of the 67. psalme Where it is sayd Let the Gentiles reioyce and be glad Psalm 67.5 because thou iudgest the people in equitie and gouernest the nations in the earth And whereas Paul hath added of his own with the people of God that hee hath done by the way of explication For there in deede the Prophete ioyneth the Gentiles with Israel and inuiteth both of them to gather vnto reioycing which can not consist but in the knowledge of God 11 Prayse him all yee nations Neyther is this place vnaptly applied For howe shoulde they prayse God who knowe not his greatnesse they can doe that no more then call vpon his name when they knowe it not It is therefore a very fitte prophesie to prooue the calling of the Gentiles And that may better appeare by a reason whiche is added there for hee biddeth them giue thankes for his trueth and mercie Psal 117.1 12 Againe Esai c. This prophesie is most excellent of all Esay 11.10 For there the Prophete things being almost brought to desperation comforteth the small remnant of the faythfull namely in this that there shoulde arise a graft out of the drie and dead stocke of the house of Dauid and a braunch shoulde flourish out of the dispised root that should restore the people of God to their former glory It is manifest by the description there put downe that this plant or graft is Christ the redeemer of the world Secondly he addeth that he shall be erected for a signe to the Gentiles that he might be vnto them for their saluation These wordes verily differ somewhat from the Hebrewe text For whereas we reade heere he doth rise the Hebrewe text hath He shall stande for a signe which is all one namely that he shoulde appeare manifestly like a signe For the word hope they haue to seeke but according to the common vse of scripture
