Deromegen ich mit dem Authore der Offenbahrung Göttlicher Majestät exclamire, und sage: Gelobet sey Gott / daß sein Wort so bald ein Werck ist worden. Hingegen wiederumb billich frage: Wo bleibt nun die Heydnische Natur? Dann von Ihm / in Ihm / und durch Ihn / seynd alle Dinge / wie St. Paulus / der seine Weißheit in dem dritten Himmel studiret / und gelernet hat / (Rom. 11.) bezeuget.

62

Therefore, with the author of the Revelation of Divine Majesty, I exclaim: “Praised be God, that his Word immediately became a work.” Yet I may rightly ask: where, then, is the pagans’ nature? For all things are from him, in him and through him, as Saint Paul—who studied and learned his wisdom in the third heaven—testifies in Romans 11.
