It is apparent by this Evangelist, both in this place, and in his Gospel, that there were divers others that were spectators of this glorious sight beside the twelve. For in the 14 verse he hath named both the women and the brethren of Christ; which number of men in vers. 15. he hath summed to 120 as we shall see there: And so likewise in his Gospel, Chap. 24. he hath so carried the Story, as that it appeareth by him, that the be∣holders of his first appearing after his Resurrection, were also the beholders of his Ascen∣sion: for at vers. 33. he speaketh of the eleven, and them that were with them, and from thence forward he hath applied the story until the ascension indifferently to them all. And this thing will be one argument for us hereafter to prove that the whole hun∣dred and twenty mentioned vers. 15. of this Chapter received the Gift of Tongues, and not the twelve only.
