And they were commanded to stay together, because they should all have one spirit given them. If they had bin dispersed, the unity should not have bin so well known. Though they were scattered abroad afterward in divers places, yet because they brought that which they had from one & the same fountain, it was all one, as if they always had had alone mouth. Furthermore it was expedient that they should begin to preach the Gospel at Jerusalem, that the Prophecy might be fulfilled, There ⟨p. 6⟩shall a law go out of Zion,1 & the word of the Lord out of Jerusalem. Although the participle sunalizomenos may be diversly translated: yet Erasmus his translation did please me best, because the signification of gathering together, will agree better with the text.
