In which Proclamation, and inquiry 1of the Lord, we are not to imagine that the Lord, was either unprovided of such as should execute his will, or knew not who were able, or who were willing to go preach his word: For as the Apostle saith, in the matter of Election; 2The Lord knoweth who are his: so much more in particular vocations. The Lord knoweth who are his, and need not to ask whom shall I send, or who shall go? ⟨p. 154⟩But then it may be demanded, why the 3Lord saith so? I answer, not for his own sake, but for ours: whom hereby he would instruct, in divers points of holy doctrine.
