Vers. 15.
And the Lorde tooke mee as I followed the flocke, and the Lord said vnto me, Goe, prophesie vnto my people Israel.
* 1.1ANother part of an extraordinarie vocation or calling, to wit, than this calling was made by God himselfe. For Amos doth not onely here shut out the ordinarie meane (which is to be called by men) but also setteth downe the extraordinary, which is to bee ordained immediatly from God. Hoe therefore confirmeth him∣selfe to bee a simple countrey man by profession and kinde of life, and which was taken from the keeping of the flock vnto the office of a Prophet, like as it is also said of Dauid the King Psal. 78. ver. 70.71. He chose Dauid also his seruant, and tooke him from the sheepe∣folds. Euen from behinde the Ewes with young brought he him to feede his people in Iacob, and his inheritance in Israel. Lastly, Amos addeth expreslie the commandement it selfe of God concerning his pro∣phesying, and the persons vnto whom he was sent by God.
