Behold here, how the fact being all one, the circumstances make the one good, the other stark naught. The Prophet moved by the spirit of God, desired this plague to fall upon them: the Apostles moved by an undiscreet zeal, and ignorant of what spirit they were, required ⟨image 9⟩the like. Ahaziah the wicked Apostate, under the pretence of holiness sent to slay the Prophet: the Samaritans denied, but lodging to Christ as he passed bye. The Prophet had to deal with them, that having the word of God, forsook it: the Apostles with them that never knew the same. The Prophet at the pleasure of almighty God, called down fire from above, to show forth his glory: the Apostles by humane affection, were pricked to revenge the injury. The Prophet was sent to punish the infidelity of the Israelites (as it may likewise appear by his killing the four hundred & fifty Prophets of Baal, 1& of the groves four hundred:) the Apostles were sent to preach the Gospel, and not to punish the contemners thereof, except extraordinarily: neither was their Masters kingdom of this world, that his servants should defend or revenge his quarrel by any such means.
Beholde héere, how the facte being all one, the circumstaunces make ye one good, the other starke naught. The Prophet moued by the spyrite of God, desired this plague to fall vpon them: the Apostles moued by an vndiscreet zeale, and ignoraunt of what spyrite they were, requyred ⟨image 9⟩the lyke. Ahaziah the wicked Apostatate, vnder the pretence of holynes sent to slea the Prophete: the Samaritanes denied, but lodging to Christ as he passed bye. The Prophete had to deale with thē, that hauing the worde of God, forsooke it: the Apostles with them that neuer knew the same. The Prophete at the pleasure of almighty God, called downe fire from aboue, to shewe forth his glorye: the Apostles by humane affection, were pricked to reuenge the iniury. The Prophet was sent to punish the infidelity of the Israelits (as it may lykewise appéere by his kylling the fowre hundreth & fiftie Prophetes of Baall, 1& of the groues fowre hundreth:) the Apostles were sent to preach the Gospell, and not to punish the contemners thereof, except extraordinarily: neyther was their Masters kingdom of this world, that his seruauntes should defende or reuenge his quarrell by any such meanes.
