and one sheep heard Whereby he meant that hee would be one day as common to the Gentiles thorough the preaching of his gospell as then he was proper to the first elected Iewes For S. Iohns vision must bee effected or else the scriptures are not fulfilled he saieth he saw an angell flying thorough the Apoc. 14 6 middest of heauen hauing an euerlasting gospell to preach to them that dwell on the earth and to euery Nation and kindred and tongue people So that howsoeuer that bee true that the Israelites were the peculiar people of God to whom only pertained the promise the adoption the couenant of God as saint Paule sayeth yet now God vouchsafing a new couenant Rom. 9 4 Iere. 5 31 hath comprehended all Nations therein Acts. 2 39 as saint Peter saith Vnto you is the promise made and vnto your seed vnto all that are yet a farre off Ose 2 23 euen so manie as God will call And as Ose the Prophet said god calleth thē his people who were not his people heretofore and they novv do cal him their God whose God hee was not in times past For we were as sheep going astraie 1 Pet. 2 25 but nowe returned to the sheepeheard and bishop of our soules c. Acts 10 15 So that Saint Peters vision being accomplished that which God hath cleansed manne may not count it vncleane Actes 10 28 for novv GOD hath shewed me that I shoulde not count any man polluted or vncleane saith hee Text. All the wordes of this life This doth subscribe to the truth of him whoe beeing the life it selfe Iohn 14 6 Matth. 4 3 saide sometimes that There is not one worde in the booke of God but it hath his Emphasis or powerfull effect vnto eternall life Therefore as Saint Paule founde by his ovvne experience Rom. 1 16 that the wordes of the Gospell tende all to the sauing of Faithfull beleeuers so hee protesteth to the Church of Ephesus that hee kept not backe anie part of the Counsell of GOD that was fitte for theyr saluation Acts. 20 20 but deliuered vnto them all that Counsell of GOD. Yet we who are the Gentiles must saie like Ieremy the prophet Thy words were found by mee Iere. 15 16 and I did eate them and thy worde was vnto mee the ioy and reioicing of my hart Or as Dauid said Psal 132.6 Loe wee heard of the same at Ephrata and found it in the Wood. When we come to Gods house wee must attende rather what is spoken then who speaketh because if we regard who teacheth we shall oft hear the successors of the Scribes Pharisies who onlie would say well and bicause they hold in capite so long as they teach the truth wee must heare them Matth. 23 2 and hold with them in that Ei parti fauendum est quae rectum sentit in veritate We must leane to that side which relieth vpon the truth Therefore said Christ Quod dicunt facite You must doe as they saie If you attend what they say you shal find them like the Apostles for they speak vnto you all the words of this life And it is not only the word of life because it is spoken as from the Author of life or because it tendeth to eternall life but quia creditur because it is beleeued And therefore saieth Paule Rom. 1 16 It is the power of God able to saue euery beleeuer And when Esay said Esay 53 1 Lord who beleeueth our preaching hee meant that the want of beliefe is want of life The wordes of the Gospell are also called the words of life Iohn 14 6 because they treate of Iesus Christ who is the life of life for in him we liue moue Actes 4 12 haue our being And not only Peter saith Acts 10 43 Non est salus in vllo alio but huic testātur omnes prophetae To him doe all the Prophets beare witnesse that through his name al that beleeue in him shal receiue remission of sinnes The wordes of the Gospell are called the wordes of life also because the subiect of the gospel is to beget soules to euerlasting life as our Sauiour himselfe saieth Iohn 20 31 These things were written that you might beleeue and in beleeuing yee might haue life through Christs name Text. So when they heard it they entred into the temple early in the morning and taught This sequele sheweth how faithfully the Apostles did execute the Angels commandement First they doe heare it Ezec. 33 7 then they teach it like that rule of God to Ezechiel Sonne of man thou shalt heare the word at my mouth and thou shalt giue the people warning from me 1 Pet. 4 11 Or that of S. Peter If anie man minister let him do it as of the abilitie that God ministreth to him For our sauiour saith Math. 13.52 Euery Scribe learned in the kingdome of God is like a good housholder that bringeth out of his treasure things both new and old Thus the meanes are directed to the ende as Moses receiued the lawe to deliuer it to the people The eare to heare and the eie to see the Lorde hath made them both saith the Wise man Prou. 20 12 Salomon teacheth vs both the vse and the author of our senses by both the which he affirmeth that we are gods factors vpon earth and that the gifts of God are talents committed to vs to trade them ouer in our life to the honor of the right owner of them Luke 4 16 The Euangelist Luke saith that when our Lord came into the synagogue of Nazareth according to his custome hee gaue them a sermon And so doeth hee saie likewise of the Apostles Luke 24 53 that they were vsuallie conuersing in the Temple in the time of their libertie and novve also after their imprisonment This is one great comfort to the man of god that howsoeuer men may be bounde for the worde of God 2 Tim. 2 9 yet the worde of God it selfe is not bound And let them further vnderstande that as Gods iudgments are compared to a great deep Psal 36 6 so he wil not make it known vnto vs why he suffereth mē to ride ouer our heads but only thus far forth that we may finde him most helpefull when we feele our selues to be most helplesse Psal 37 25 and say like Dauid I neuer sawe the righteous forsaken And thereby learne that bicause God is mercifull therefore he ought to be feared more then men who are for the most part cruell When it is said that the Apostles Entred earlie into the temple and taught This is spoken for the imitation of their successors for euen as the sun imparteth his light vnto the moone and starres so these moouing candlesticks bee not put vnder a bushell but set in an open place to inlighten all that are in Gods house Iohn
