And undoubtedly I could bring forth very many examples out of the old testament. But the Anabaptists cry, that the old Testament pertaineth nothing unto us. I will therefore make mention of those things which Augustine allegeth out of the new Testament. The Centurion came unto Christ, and desired him to heal his servant which was sick: but Christ said he would come to his house. The Centurion said: I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof: but only say the word, & my servant shall be healed. And other words which are red in the .8. chapter of Matthew. At the last Christ answered, that he found not so much faith in Israel, no not in those which seemed most holy. ⟨p. 187⟩And the same man was a Centurion, and had soldiers under him: unto whom for all that Christ ascribeth a very good and most excellent faith. In the Acts also of the Apostles, the .x. chapter, it is written that Cornelius so lived in warfare, that the Angel testified of him, that his prayers were heard of God. Yea & God also so regarded him, that at Peters hand he heard the Gospel, was baptised, and received the holy ghost. And the Soldiers when they came unto John, to be baptised of him, as it is in the third chapter of Luke, asked what they should do. John answered, ye shall do violence unto no man: be ye content with your wages. Neither called he them back from warfare, but rather confirmed them, when he commanded them to be content with their wages. The same Augustine against Faustus in his .xxii. book, and .lxxiiii. chapter saith: The Lord was tempted of the Herodians, whither it were lawful to give tribute unto Cesar, and he answered: Give unto Cesar that which is Caesars, and the things that are of God, to God. By which words he would signify nothing else, but that tributes are to be given unto Princes. And tributes are given, that Princes should use the sword, defend the right of the public wealth, and make war, when need shall require. Which thing if it had not been lawful, the Lord would never have commanded them to pay tributes unto them.
And vndoubtedly I could bring forth very many examples out of the old testament. But the Anabaptistes cry, that the old Testament pertaineth nothing vnto vs. I wil therfore make mencion of those thinges whych Augustine alledgeth out of the new Testament. The Centurion came vnto Christ, and desired him to heale his seruant which was sicke: but Christ said he would come to hys house. The Cēturion said: I am not worthy that thou shouldest come vnder my roofe: but onely say the woord, & my seruant shalbe healed. And other woordes which are red in the .8. chapter of Mathew. At the last Christ answered, that he founde not so muche faith in Israel, no not in those whiche seemed most holye.
