1A little after, Christ doth also add: And who soever shall not receive you, nor hear your preaching, when ye depart out of that house, or that city, shake of the dust of your feet. Verily, I say unto you, it shall be easier for the land of Sodoma and Gomorra in the day of judgement, then for the city. Even as in the fore alleged places he did bid them to use the keys of losing and forgiving that is too say, when he commanded them to preach the gospel, and to tell forth, that the kingdom of god is at hand: so now, he ⟨image 52⟩doth bid them to bind such, as will not receive the gospel or glad tidings of salvation offered by them. For, when he doth command them, to shake of, the dust of their feet, he doth teach thereby, as by a certain sign & token, that the infidels are snared & bound with so straight bonds of infidelity, misbelieve, & incredulity, that they that are faithful, may not have, as much as the dust, (than that which, nothing is more vile & abject) commune with them. After the same faction & manner,2 Paul afterwards (as we may see in the Acts) bid use the keys of bin ding. For when certain ungodly & stubborn Jews withstanding the Evangelical doctrine, did most ungodly blaspheme the name of christ▪ he did shake his garments, & dust of his feet against them, saying: Your blood be upon your own heads. From hence forth will I go blameless unto the gentiles. Also, in this place, we may see,3 ye christ doth violently compel no man to the faith, nor will have any man to be conceived (as we do see many now a days to be fowle deceived, which thinking that it is lawful, make the faithful afraid, that they do rather seek the riches & kingdom of this world, than the kingdom of christ) that all virtue, power, ⟨image 53⟩and glory, may be ascribed too his word alone.
1A lytle after, Christ doth also adde: And who soeuer shal not receaue you, nor heare your preachyng, when ye departe oute of that house, or that cytye, shake of the duste of youre fete. Verelye, I saye vnto you, it shall be easyer for the lande of Sodoma and Gomorra in the day of iudgement, then for ye cytye. Euen as in the fore aledged places he dyd byd theym to vse the keyes of losynge and forgeuyng that is too saye, when he commaūded theym to preach the gospel, and to tel forth, that the kingdō of god is at hād: so now, he
