The second reply of Thomas CartwrightThe second replie of Thomas Cartwright

But to return to the D. exposition: First it overthroweth the argument off the Apostle. For the Jews offended that he / and other preached to the Gentiles: proving first that the invocation off the name of God pertaineth unto them / he concludeth thereupon / that preaching unto them was lawful: considering that they could not otherwise come to call upon the name off God, where by the D. exposition / the Jews might have excepted / that his ministry towards them was not thereby justified: forasmuch as they might come to invocation by reading only / without his / and others ministry off preaching. Furthermore / the Apostle S. Paul affirming in plain words / that the preaching he speaketh ¹off / can not be made but by him which is sent: it is first manifest / that reading privately is clean shut out / from being contained under this preaching. For faith coming only by that preaching / and that preaching only lawful by the sending of God / and public calling: it followeth / that except he will say / that the scripture may not be red privately / onles a man be publicly called thereunto / that both private reading of the scripture / can no be contained under the Apostles word of preaching / and ⟨p. CCCLXXVI⟩that faith (onles by extraordinary work of God) can not be engendered by private reading. Forasmuch as it is engendered only by that preaching / under which private reading is not contained. And so goeth to the ground one piece off the D. assertion.

But to retourne to the D. exposition: First it ouerthroweth the argument off the Apostle. For the Iewes offended that he / and other preached to the Gētils: prouing first that the inuocation off the name of God perteineth vnto them / he concludeth therupon / that preaching vnto them was lawfull: considering that they could not otherwise come to call vpon the name off God, where by the D. expositiō / the Iewes might haue excepted / that his mynistery towardes them was not therby iustified: forasmuch as they might come to inuocation by reading onely / withowt his / and others ministery off preaching. Furthermore / the Apostle S. Paul affirming in plaine wordes / that the preaching he speaketh ¹off / can not be made but by him vvhich is sent: yt is first manifest / that reading priuately is cleane shut owt / from being conteined vnder this preaching. For faith comming onely by that preaching / ād that preaching onely lawfull by the sending of God / and publicke calling: it followeth / that except he will say / that the scripture may not be redd priuately / onles a man be publikely called therunto / that both priuate reading of the scripture / can no be conteined vnder the Apostles word of preaching / and
