Neither doeth the Lord conceal,1 why he pronounceth the priests, or inward quire excommunicated; for because it is given to the heathen. Which phrase of speech is as much of force, as if you should say: for as much as in the quire they play not the priests or faithful ministers, but the gentiles, which have occupied this place. But the gentiles are rightly shut out of the fellowship of God and the church: where the lord him self in the gospel said: if he hear not the church let him be unto thee as an heathen & publican. Undoubtedly they that be not in the Temple or church, or else be in the inner quire, that is to say, which will be accounted amongst the prelates of the church: and yet hold not of Christ, but are ⟨p. 308⟩more conformable to the heathen, than to Christians: are accounted most justly excluded amongst the gentiles.
