19 And the Gentiles for his mercy. This is the other member, in confirming whereof, because it was doubtful, he stayeth longer.2 The first testimony which he citeth, is taken out of the 18. Psalm, which Psalm is rehearsed in the second of Samuel: where without doubt is uttered a prophecy of the kingdom of Christ. Furthermore Paul proveth the calling of the Gentiles thereby, because there is promised the confession of the glory of God amongst the Gentiles. For we can not preach God truly, but amongest such as do truly hear his praises, whiles they are published of us. Wherefore, that the name of God might be celebrated amongst the Gentiles, they must needs be endued with knowledge, and come into the fellowship of the people of God. For thou mayest see this every where in the Scripture, that the praise of God can not be preached, but in the congregation of the faithful, whose ears are capable to hear his praise.

Psalme, which Psalme is rehearsed in the seconde of Samuel: where without dout is vttered a prophesie of the kingdome of Christ. Furthermore Paule proueth the calling of the Gentiles thereby, because there is promised the confession of the glory of God amongst the Gentiles. For we can not preach God truly, but amongest such as do truely heare his prayses, whiles they are published of vs. Wherfore, that the name of God might be celebrated amongst the Gentiles, they must needes be indued with knowledge, and come into the felowshippe of the people of God. For thou mayest see this euery where in the Scripture, that the prayse of God can not bee preached, but in the congregation of the faythfull, whose eares are capable to heare his prayse.
