Where I allege that Timothy, and Philip Evangelists, had their vocation confirmed by miracle: touching Philip he maketh an outcry / for that he was entered into his ministry off Evangelistship, before the miracle 8. Act. 29. As if the same came not to pass 1in Aron / which had his calling confirmed by miracle / long after he had don the office of the high priest. Likewise he answereth / that it was rather done for the Eunuchs sake, then for Philips. Albeit it were so / yet by that (rather) is not shut forth / that it was doom for Philips. If he had learned that David / and other servants off 2God / come oftentimes ether through small success in their ministry / or manifold contradictions off the wicked / or sense off their own weakness / into doubt off their calling: he would not have found it so strange / that the servants off God in their own respect / have had these confirmations. Where he saith / these particular examples make no general rule: I showed the likelihood / whereupon I thought the rest to have the same / forsomuch as these two which the scripture only calleth Evangelists / had that confirmation. Which I leave to the judgement of the reader.
Where I alledge that Timothe, and Philip Euangelistes, had their vocation confirmed by miracle: towching Philip he maketh an outcrie / for that he was entred into his ministerie off Euangelistship, before the miracle 8. Act. 29. As if the same came not to passe 1in Aron / which had his calling confirmed by miracle / long after he had don the office of the high priest. Likewise he answereth / that it was rather doon for the Eunuches sake, then for Philips. Albeit yt were so / yet by that (rather) is not shut forth / that yt was doō for Philips. If he had learned that Dauid / and other seruantes off 2God / come oftentimes ether through small successe in their ministrie / or manifould contradictions off the wicked / or sense off their owne weakenes / into doubt off their calling: he would not haue found it so straunge / that the seruantes off God in their owne respect / haue had these confirmacions. Where he saith / these particular examples make no generall rule: I shewed the likelihood / wherevpon I thought the rest to haue the same / forsomuch as these twoo which the scripture onely calleth Euangelistes / had that confirmation. Which I leaue to the iudgement of the reader.
