ver. 21.22. For if God spared not the naturall branches, take heede lest hee spare not thee. Beholde, therefore, the goodnesse and severitie of God: on them which fell, severitie; but towards thee, good∣nesse, if thou continue in his good∣nesse, otherwise thou also shalt bee cut off.
Note then, that the Apostle showeth, that the Church of Rome, as well as other Churches of the Gentiles, may fall away from the trueth, and bee cut off from being a true Church: otherwise, if shee had infallibilitie, this his exhorta∣tion should haue beene altogether need∣lesse: neither should hee haue spoken doubtinglie after this manner, saying, if thou continue: but particularlie excep∣ted her as one, that could not, but con∣tinue.
