But Paul was not tied to any one city, or Island, or country. He had authority to preach to all cities and countries: to all lands and Islands from the east to the west. So did Christ appoint his Apostles: Go ye into all ¹the world, and preach the Gospel unto every creature. They were not sent to Jerusalem, nor to Samaria, nor to Ephesus, nor to Rome only: but into all the world. The whole world was their diocese, and their province. So speaketh the Prophet David of them: Their sound is gone forth through the earth: and ²their words into the ends of the world. This was the commission which our Saviour gave unto John, and to James, to Paul, ⟨p. 299⟩and to Peter, and to the rest of the Apostles: that they should go into all the world. Therefore if any of the Apostles should have staid in one only place, and have gone no farther, he had offended, and done otherwise than Christ commanded.

But Paule was not tyed to any one citie, or Ilande, or countrey. He had authoritie to preach to al cities and countries: to al landes and Ilandes from the east to the west. So did Christ appoint his Apostles: Goe ye into all ¹the worlde, and preach the Gospel vnto euerie creature. They were not sent to Ierusalem, nor to Samaria, nor to Ephesus, nor to Rome only: but into al the world. The whole world was their dioces, and their prouince. So speaketh the Prophet Dauid of them: Their sounde is gone foorth through the earth: and ²their wordes into the endes of the worlde. This was the commission which our Saniour gaue vnto Iohn, and to Iames, to Paule, ⟨p. 299⟩and to Peter, and to the rest of the Apostles: that they should goe into al the world. Therefore if any of the Apostles should haue staide in one only place, and haue gone no farther, he had offended, and done otherwise than Christ commaunded.
