Matthew Poole and continuators on Acts 1:17

17 For he was numbred with us, and had obtained part of this ministery .

Being one of the twelve Apostles.

[non-Latin text not transcribed], not as if Iudas was made an Apostle by lot, as Matthias afterwards; but by the Providence of God, by which every lot and casual matter is governed: and to shew that the dignity did not befall him, or any of the other Apostles, because of their descent, (from Aaron) or from nature, or from any desert whatsoever, but meerly from Gods good will and pleasure.

Then the Apostles Office is Ministerial, and they were not Lords over Gods heritage.
