Fourthly, here are noted the parties whom Christ taught, namely1 his Disciples; for though he spake in the audience of the multitude, yet herein he chiefly intended to instruct his Disciples: that is, all those whom he had converted by his former Ministry, and among them principally the twelve Apostles, whom he had newly chosen to become teachers of others. This circumstance must be well observed, for as it helpeth to clear some points in the doctrine following; so it serveth notably, to prove and justify the Schools of the Prophets, wherein some teach, and others hear and learn, for this end, to furnish themselves with gifts, that afterward they may become good and able teachers in Gods Church: for what is this, but to follow the example of Christ, who in this place delivereth doctrine and instruction to his twelve Apostles, the better to enable them to the faithful discharge of their holy Ministry.
