Also, in an other Psalm he writeth thus: Dominus dissipat concilia gentium, reprobate concilia populorum, & concilia Principum: Concilium autem Domini, in aeternum manet. &c. The Lord (quoth he) doth destroy or annihilate the Coū cell of the Gentiles, 1he reproveth the Councils of the people and of rulers. But the Counsel or devise of the Lord endureth ever, & the purpose of his mind abideth into the world of worlds. For that purpose doth S. Peter in the Acts of the Apostles allege this verse out of the Psalm: Quare ⟨p. 1118⟩free muerunt gentes, &c. Why did the Gentiles rage, and the people imagine vain things, &c. Like unto this is written Isaiah. 1.2 Also you may see in the Councils of the Pharisees above showed, that one singular person may sometime perceive a thing more then a generality or a multitude: for only Gamaliel did see better what was behovable,3 than could all the other there congregate.

The Lord (quoth he) doth destroy or annihilate the Coū cell of the Gentiles, 1he reproueth the Councels of the people and of rulers. But the Councell or deuise of the Lord endureth euer, & the purpose of his minde abideth into the world of worldes. For that purpose doth S. Peter in the Actes of the Apostles alledge this verse out of the Psalme: Quare ⟨p. 1118⟩fre muerunt gentes, &c. Why did the Gentiles rage, and the people imagine vayne thinges, &c. Like vnto this is written Esay. 1.2
