S. Hierom writing upon the prophet, Nahum, 1saith, In aduentu Messiae, populus qui fuerat cons•pitus sub magistris, excitabitur, & ibit ad montes scripturarū. What time Messiah shall come, the people that were lulled a sleep in ignorance by such as should have been their teachers, shall awake, and get them forth to the mountains of the Scriptures.

And Chrisost. upon the Genesis, Si desit ministerium hominis, ipse Dominus superne illustrabit 1mentem nostrā. If the ministry of man be wan ting, the Lord himself will lighten our mind from above. And Christ in the Gospel of S. John, 2saith, My sheep hear my voice, & follow me, & they will not follow a stranger, but fly from him. And to conclude, whosoever feeleth a lack within himself, & can suffer himself to be informed & taught by the spirit of God, he may be assured, God will take him for his harvest. Thus was the harvest great, the labourers very few, the scatterers & wasters, almost infinite. This was the state of the Church at the coming of Christ.
