Where he saith that his gospel is not after man, he meaneth not, that his gospel is not earthly, (for that is manifest of it self: and the false apostles bragged also that their doctrine was not earthly but heavenly):1 but he meaneth that he learned not his gospel by the ministry of men, or received it by any earthly means (as we all learn it either by the ministry of men, or else receive it by some earthly means: some by hearing, some by reading, and some by writing): but he received the same only by the revelation of Jesus Christ. If any man list to make any other distinction, I am not against it.2 The Apostle showeth here by the way, that Christ is not only man, but that he is both very God and very man, when he saith: that he received not his gospel by man.
Where he sayth that his gospell is not after man, he meaneth not, that his gospell is not earthly, (for that is manifest of it selfe: and the false apostles bragged also that their doctrine was not earthly but heauenly):1 but he meaneth that he learned not his gospel by the ministerie of men, or receiued it by any earthly meanes (as we all learne it either by the ministery of men, or els receaue it by some earthly meanes: some by hearing, some by reading, and some by writing): but he receaued the same onely by the reuelation of Iesus Christ. If any man list to make any other distinction, I am not against it.2 The Apostle sheweth here by the way, that Christ is not onely man, but that he is both very God and very man, whan he sayth: that he receaued not his gospell by man.
