He now here applieth this miracle which was done unto his doctrine. For, the holy Ghost was not given to the Apostles that they should be silent, whenas any thing were moved which tended to the glorifying of the works of GOD: but that they should be strong, constantly to deliver out the word of God, and publish the Gospel accordingly as our Lord Jesus had granted them the mean. And therefore we see that God wrought wonderfully, and that the preaching of the Gospel throughout the whole world by so small a number, came not from men. Now, S. Peter in his Sermon showeth an holy boldness of the spirit of God, and giveth them to understand, who made a mock at the miracle that was done, and thought not reverently of it, that Jesus Christ manifesteth not himself unto those which scorn and scoff at his works.
Hee nowe heere applieth this myracle which was doone vnto his doctrine. For, the holie Ghost was not geuen to the Apostles that they should bée silent, whenas any thing were mooued which tended to the glorifiyng of the woorkes of GOD: but that they shoulde be strong, constantly to deliuer out the woorde of God, and publishe the Gospel accordingly as our Lorde Iesus had graunted them the meane. And therefore wée sée that God wrought wonderfully, and that the preaching of the Gospel throughout the whole worlde by so small a number, came not from men. Now, S. Peter in his Sermon sheweth an holy boldnesse of the spirite of God, and geueth them to vnderstand, who made a mocke at the myracle that was done, and thought not reuerently of it, that Iesus Christ manifesteth not himselfe vnto those which scorne and scoffe at his woorkes.
Moreover, when he sayeth, And all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, He speaketh universally to all men, and yet it appertained not but unto those which made a scoff at the miracle. For there were many at that time, who reverently accompanied the Apostles, that greatly wondered at the matter.
Moreouer, when hée sayeth, And all yee that dwell at Hierusalem, Hée speaketh vniuersally to all men, and yet it appertayned not but vnto those which made a scoffe at the myracle. For there were many at that time, who reuerently accompanied the Apostles, that greatly woondred at the matter.
