Matthew which is likewise an Hebrew word signifying given; but it is also a Greek, or a Roman name, and it might be given unto him to blot out that former infamy, that he being a Jew, would yet be a Publican, and an extortioner of his own nation: by this name he was most commonly known, ⟨p. 162⟩and yet himself writing of himself, spareth not to use this name, regarding more the glory of God, and the good of the Church by this his conversion, then his own credit and reputation.

Cor. 12. for it was not themselves, nor their own honour they sought for, but the manifestation of the grace of God.
