Luke. 13. 30.

The text.

And behold, they are ∴ last that shal be first, and they be first that shall be last.

The note.

The Gentils comming into Gods fauor later, are preferred before the Iewes which were first.

The answer.

This note must haue a fauorable exposition. And we take it that the preferment you meane, is our graffing into the true o∣liue, whence they were cut out. And then we reason thus: If the Church of the Iewes once florishing, might afterward decay, and that people falling away, giue roome and place to such nati∣ons, as God made himselfe knowen vnto in Christ long after them: then why may not the Romans, though their faith was once commended, & praise woorthie, be in like case shaken of also?
