THE PROPHECIE OF Agabus concerning a generall famine to come vpon the world togiâ—her with a beneuoâ—ence for the most distressed Act 11. 27. In those dayes also came Propheâ—â— from Ierusalem vnto Antioch 28 And there stood vp one of them named Agabus and signified by the spirit that there should be great famine throughout the world which also came to passe vnder Claudius Caesar 29 Then the Disciples euerie man according to his ability purposed to send succor vnto the brethren which dwelt in Iudea 30 Which thing they also did and sent it to the Elders by the hands of Barnabas and Saule THe Arke of Noah Ge. 7. 9. was a figure of the church wher into Iewes Gentiles cleane and vncleane should one day bee gathered Ierusalem is walled about Psal 122. 7. and there the Church of God is inclosed But Zac. 2. 4 Ierusalem shal be inhabited without wals There it is laid common as dispersed far and nigh ouer the face of the earth Two commissions are giuen to the Apostles the former with limitation Matt. 10. 5 Go not into the way of the Gentiles and into the Cities of the Samaritans enter ye not The latter was without restraint Mat. 28. 19. Go and teach all Nations In the first the partition wall standes vp In the second that partition wall is broken downe Ephe. 2. 14. Mat. 22. 2. The kingdome of Heauen is like vnto a certaine king which married his sonne The feast is made vnto all people Esay 25. 2. Therefore both Iewes and Gentiles are bidden to it Mat. 22. They that dwell a farre of shall come and sit doâ—ne Mat. 8. 11. The poore and the rich shall eate and bee satisfied Psal 22. 26. 29. May eate and drinke cheape enough Esay 55. 7. But though there be no differeÌ„ce betweene the cleane vncleane For Peter in the Chapter before Acts 10. falling into a traunce and seeing both sorts come downe to him in a vessell heareth a voice Arise Peter kill and eate though the stewardes and commissioners of the high God might distribute the food of the soule and make all nations without stop partakers of it And therefore Barnabas Saule come vnto Antiochia in the verse before and certaine Prophets also came from Ierusalem vnto Antiochia though I say the famine of the bread of life shuld last no longer the date was out the hand-writing cancelled yet Agabus in this place telleth and foresheweth another famine a great famine of material bread which shuld come vpon all nations in the world In the intreatie wherof I will speake first of the famin it selfe 2 of the effects it wrought CoÌ„cerning the famin 1 It is foreshewed where I obserue 1 the meanes by which it was reuealed to the Prophet which was the spirit 2 The ende why it was reuealed which was that he might signify it to the people 2 The famin is brought where I obserue the time in which it was brought to wit wheÌ„ Claudius was Emperor of Rome â— The reason why it was brought which is here suppressed because Claudius himselfe as it is written was immoderately giuen to excesse and the rest of the world ready to surfeit in their diet Concerning the effect this famin wrought it caused the disciples in Antiochia to send succor reliefe to their brethren in Iudea which were more distressed then themselues where I note 1 their charitie 2 their discretion Touching their charitie I mark 1 their charitable mind they purposed to send succor 2 their charitable practise shewed two wayes 1 They made a beneuoleÌ„ce which thing they also did 2 they kept it not in their hands but sent it away and sent it Concerning their charitable minde in that they purposed to giue I obserue 1 the qualities of the giuers in whom there was 1 A readinesse without delay noted in the circumstance of the time Assoone as the famine came Then c. 2 A willingnesse without compulsion they did not impose â— law one vpon another But euerie man purposed 3 The quantitie of the gift they which had much gaue much they which had litle gaue litle Euery man according to his abilitie Their discretion appeareth 1 In choosing trustie messengers who should carrie their beneuolence as Barnabas and Saule 2 In appointing wise men to receiue it which might distribute to euery one as euery one had need They sent it to the Elders By the spirit The meanes by which the famin was foreshewed was the spirit of God The prophecies in the Scripture are not of any priuate motion men did not speak of their owne heades but holy men of God spake as they were moued by the holy Ghost 2. Pet. 1. 20. The prophets are called criers as Iohn Baptist Mat. 3. 3. and criers speake nothing but that which is first put into their mouths therefore Esay makes a noise after the maner of criers Esay 55. 1. and heares the voyce of God saying Crie Esay 40. 6. And he said VVhat shall I crie All flesh is grasse and all the glory thereof as the flower of the field The voice of the Prophets is like a Trumpet Esay 58. 1. They must set the truÌ„pet to their mouths Hos 8. 1. And blow the trumpet in Zion Ioel. 2. 1.

Therefore the Lorde teacheth Balaam what to say and puts an answere in his mouth Num. 23. 5. Therefore Iosua before he deliuers the matter and telleth the children of Israel what shal come after vseth this preface Come hither and heare the wordes of the Lorde your God Therfore Elihu is taught by God before he would bee teacher to Iob his heart did speake before his mouth Iob 33. Therefore Ieremie must eate the words Iere. 15 16 and Ezechiel must eate the roll wherein the prophecies are written and then speake to the house of Israel Ezech. 3. 1. And Iohn must take the little booke out of the angels hand and eate it vp and then prophecie againe among the people Reu 10 10 and Agabus must be foretaught by God and as it were eat the prophecie concerning famin then giue notice to the world how litle they shal eate that God will giue them cleannes of teeth in al their riches scarcenesse of bread in all their habitations

Let him that sate in Moses chaire sometime sit at Gamaliels feete And thus much of the meanes by which this famine was made knowne vnto Agabus and onely to Agabus The ende followeth which was that hee might signifie the same vnto the people The Prophets were as it were of Gods priuie counsaile Amos 3. 7. The counsaile of earthly Princes must bee kept secrete great affayres neuer haue good successe when they are discouered before they take effect therefore Alexander communicating a secrete to Ephestion tooke his signet from his finger and sealed therewith Ephestions lippes shewing thereby what hee expected at his handes The king sayeth Dauid to Ahimelech hath commaunded mee a certaine thing and hath sayde vnto me let no man knowe where about I sende thee and what I haue commaunded thee 1 Sam. 21 2.
