HE speaks of the spreading forth of the Church. But it was necessary that one and the same thing should be often repeated, in regard it seemed incredible that the Church of God being now brought to so low an ebb, should ever be raised, or spread over the whole world: for her condition was lamentable, but in the end she was rebuilt again, to the astonishment of all, and that by a small remnant, as a brand recovered out of the fire; and the seed thereof was scattered far and wide through all the quarters of the world. And therefore it is as much as if he had said, Though thou beest now enclosed within strait and very narrow bounds, and hast nothing in common with the Gentiles, yet so it is that thou shalt receive from them much fruits in abundance.
HE speakes of the spreading forth of the Church. But it was necessarie that one and the same thing should be often repeated, in regard it seemed incredible that the Church of God being now brought to so low an ebbe, should euer be raised, or spread ouer the whole world: for her condition was lamentable, but in the end she was rebuilt againe, to the astonishment of all, and that by a small remnant, as a brand recouered out of the fire; and the seed thereof was scattered farre and wide thorow all the quarters of the world. And therefore it is as much as if he had said, Though thou beest now inclosed within strait and very narrow bounds, and hast nothing in common with the Gentiles, yet so it is that thou shalt receiue from them much fruites in abundance.
