¹ Marriage. Then did God the Father make this marriage, when by the mystery of the Incarnation he joined to his son our Lord, the holy Church for his spouse. Greg. Horn. 38.
² Servants. The first servants here sent to invite, were the Prophets: the second were the Apostles: and all that afterward con¬verted countries, or that have and do reconcile men to the Church.
³ One to his Farm. Such as refuse to be reconciled to Christ’s Church, allege often vain impediments and worldly excuses, which at the day of judgment will not serve them.
⁴ It profiteth not much to be within the Church and to be a Catholic, except a man be of good life, for such a one shall be damned, because with faith he hath not good works: as is evident by the ex¬ample of mis man, who was within, and at the feast as the rest, but lacked the garment of charity and good works. And by this man are represented all the bad that are called, and therefore they also are in the Church, as this man was at the feast: but because he was called, and yet none of the elect, it is evident that the Church doth not consist of the elect only, contrary to our Adversaries.
