& briefly all things were prepared which pertained unto that great supper. All things were ready without all our cost. For the Father by Christ hath paid the price of all things, that without all our merit and labour we might enjoy his goodness, and be nourished and enriched. He sendeth his servant therefore first to the Jews, to bid them to this great supper, unto whom the promise was made of God. For the law and all the Prophets were directed hereunto, that they might prepare the people of God. As the Angel Gabriel declared of John the Baptist to his father Zacharias Luke 1: He shall be filled with the holy Ghost even from his mothers womb, and many of the children of Israel shall he turn to their Lord God. For he shall go before him in ⟨p. 167⟩the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the harts of the fathers to the children, & the disobedient to the wisdom of the just men, to make ready a people prepared for the Lord. But what did the guests answer to the message of the servant? the text following declareth.
