So Mathias was called only of God. For when the other ⟨image 18⟩Apostles had appointed two,1 they durst not choose the one nor the other, but they cast lots, & prayed that God would show which of them he would have. For seeing he should be an Apostle, it behoved that he should be called of God.2 So was Paul called to be the Apostle of the Gentiles.3 Hereof the Apostles also are called Saints.
