What is the subiect to whom the Gospell belongeth?

Christ teacheth vs, Marke. 16.15. Goe ye into all the world, and preach the Gospell to euerie creature, that is not to euerie particular man, but to all nations, at Mathew expoundeth it. chap. 26.13. and 28.19. and Luke 24.47. by whith it is signified that in the Gospell, is neither Iew nor Grecian, bound nor free, male nor fe∣male, but all are one in Christ Iesus. Hereupon it is called the Gos∣pell of the vncircumcision, Gal. 2.7. metonymically, and the Gospell of the Circumcision, which was to be preached by Paule amon∣gest the Gentiles, and by Peter amongst the Iewes. But the ver∣tue and efficacie of the Gospell, or of the promises of the Gospell, belong onely to them who beleeue and are elected, according to the testimony of Christ Iohn. 17.9. I pray not for the world (saith he) but for those which thou hast giuen me because they are thine. Nei∣ther doth Christ therefore mocke any man, seeing all the fault is in the reprobate, whose owne conscience doth conuict them of vo∣luntarie contumacie.
