Gent. of the calling of the Gentiles (whether this Author be Ambrose,1 whose title the books do bear, or Prosper as it is supposed by some) answer for us, The people of God saith he, 2have their fullness, and although a great number of men neglect or cast from them the grace of their Saviour; yet there is a certain special university of the elect, and foreknown of God, severed and discerned from the generality of all, to this intent that a whole world might seems to be saved out of a whole world: and all men might seem to be redeemed from out of all men. Wherefore the promises the Gospel remain Universal to the faithful, howsoever they appertain not unto dogs and swine. The Major also of this practical Syllogism remaineth Universal; The promises pertain to all that believe. But I believe. Therefore they appertain unto me. Again, Christ died and prayed for all that believe. But I believe. Therefore he prayed, and died for me.

Againe, Christ died and praied for al that beleeue. But I beleeue. Therefore he praied, and died for me.
