Again is manifestly declared to S. John, what he should write:1 blessed are they which are called to the marriage of the Lamb. Therefore it is evident, that now it is confirmed both by the divine oracle & lawful instrument, that those which are called to the Lambs supper be and shall be blessed. This same was pronounced by oracle divine, and written Authentically. What place than of doubtfulness is left? undoubtedly blessed are the faithful, grafted in Christ.

For they be nowe called, vnto whome the gospell is preached, by the which thei are called to the participatiō of the giftes of God, but chiefely to eternal life through Christ: and thei which not only heare the ver••e of the gospel, but that also receyue it, & beleue it with their har•e. For many be called, and fewe chosen. For ye gospel is preached to many, & the grace of God is
