The sound of this simple, Barbarous, despised people was heard throughout the whole world. God causeth his Light to shine out of the Dark: His Holy Sprite breatheth, where he thinketh good: He hath no regard of Persons, or choice of places,1 2but, as S. Peter said unto Cornelius, In every Nation, who so ever feareth him, 3and worketh righteousness, is accepted before him. God chooseth the weak things of the world, to confound the strong. God's Holy Name be blessed, that of so little, and so simple a despised Mustard seed,4 hath now raised up so great a tree: & triumpheth the Gospel of Christ his Son in every place throughout the world.5
