David saith, Their sound is gone forth 1through all yt earth, & their words into the ends of the world. And the prophet Isaiah, Howe beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that declareth & publisheth peace that declareth good tidings & publisheth salvation? 2Yet S. Paul saith, They have not all obeyed the gospel. And Isaiah, Lord who hath believed our report? or to whom is the arm 3of the lord revealed? And again, I have spread out my hands all the day unto a rebellious people, which walked in a way that was not good, after their own imaginations. The truth of god is not alway taken, & it is never so received, that every man liketh thereof. The Lord knoweth who are his, and to whom he will make himself known.
