Acts1:24
24 And they prayed, and said, Thou Lord , which knowest the hearts of all men, shew whether of these two thou hast chosen,
The other Apo[illegible: 1 letter]tles being chosen by God immediately, it was necessary that he who was to act in the same Office, should be chosen after the same manner. Knowest the hearts, which is Gods Prerogative onely; all others may be, and often are mistaken by outward appearances.
