A COMMENTARIE vpon the most Diuine Epistle of S. Paul to the Romanes CONTAINING For Matter the degeneration of our Nature by Adams Fall and the restauration thereof by the Grace of CHRIST Together with the perfection of Faith and the imbecillity of Workes in the cause of Iustification of elect sinners before GOD. For forme and maner of handling it hath The COHERENCE and METHOD The SVMME and SCOPE The INTERPRETATIONS DOCTRINES The REASONS and VSES of most Texts All which are set downe very Familiarly and Compendiously in forme of a Dialogue betweene TLMOTHEVS and SILAS By Thomas Wilson one of the six Preachers in the Cathedrall Church of Canterbury ¶ Our beloued Brother Paul according to the Wisedome giuen him of God hath written vnto you which the vnlearned and vnstable peruert to their owne destruction 2. Pet. 3 15. ¶ What Epistle of Paul is not more sweete then Honie AVGVST ¶ The sublimity of Pauls minde went beyond the Heauens Chrysost. ¶ This Epistle is a Catechisme for Christians and a perfect body of Apostolicall Doctrine Paraeus LONDON Printed by W. Iaggard dwelling in Barbican 1614. The Authors Epistle to the Christian and Courteous Reader THe counsell of the Heathen Poet for the maturity of publique writings Nonum prematur in annum hath not beene of me altogether neglected for I begun the exposition of this pairelesse Epistle some seuen yeares sithence at least after I had serued three whole Apprentiships in the Ministerie of the glorious Gospell of God According to the Greeke Prouerbe 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Our latter thoughts bee wiser then our first I went ouer it againe by Catechizing Questions and Answeres in my Charge when I had once finished it by Lectures or Sermons All this while I had not a peece of a purpose to publish it being resolued it shold serue as Seede for that portion of the Lordes fielde and Husbandry committed to my care and trust partly because diuers learned Commentaries of Moderne Writers both forreigne and domesticall and some of them in our Mother-tongue were already extant vpon this Epistle but especia'ly for that Iiudged my selfe farre vnsufficient for such an enterprise As there was small reason after such burning lampes to erect my obscure light so I saw great reason to esteem my worke very vnworthy the publike view of this lettered and iudicious Age. Yea though sundry of my fellow-helpers in the Lord who by occasion of their businesse in our Citty were partakers of part of these Labours both by word and writing out of other Diocesses solicited me both earnestly and often For all this I suffered it to lye by mee rudely drawne out in Papers for mine owne priuate vse At last being much mooued thereunto by three seuerall Letters I was willing to part from my Coppie with expresse charge to him who receyued it a Friend in London vpon good Reasons rendred that it should onely bee surueyed by some skilfull Ministers to haue their opinion and aduice about the fitnesse of the publication cre it came vnto the authorized Licenser for two eyes see more then one And in matters of this kinde it is wel knowne to some I haue not trusted my selfe Euerie man in his ownc cause is party and therefore partial Lookers on often see more then the Actors doe But being preuented it was put into the Examiners hand before I had set too my last hand Afterward it was by my friend sent downe to me to be polished and perfected Perceiuing how heauens prouidence had brought it thus vppon the stage that it might both see and giue light what was I that I should resist it Where it may be marked that where God leadeth the way there it is safe following and comming after I yeelded the more willingly considering the motion and opinion of many Iudicious friends touching the fruitfulnesse of it did cal it out also for that my other weake endeuours in this kinde namely my Dictionary of the Scriptures found gracious acceptation entertainment of this present worke I haue the more reason to hope well not onely because of the excellency and variety of the matters handled and namely in the manie and maine differences betweene the ancient faith of the Romanes to whom Paul wrote and the newe vpstart opinions of our seduced Romanists against whom wee preach and write but also for the vnusuall and not vnprofitable manner of teaching by Interpretations Doctrines Reasons and Vses a forme wherein neuer any Comment on this Epistle was set foorth before As Iacob when his Sonnes were to trauaile into Egypt for Corne prayed for them saying The God almighty giue you mercie before the man so to this Treatise being to trauaile into many places I wish that it may finde fauour in their eyes that shall reade it To which purpose gentle Reader whosoeuer thou be suffer me to aduertise thee of some fevv things whereof I thinke it requisite thou shouldst take notice somwhat to excuse such faults as in such a worlde of matter I could not but run into beeing a man and more subiect to erre then inumerable other men 1. First thou hast here but an Epitome abridgement of longer discourses for the points of doctrine were largely followed furnished in my Sermons which in this Dialogue are contracted Wherein if you meet with some tautologies and super fluities or with dislocations som things not set in the right place or claudications and defects impute it I pray thee to the multitude of businesses being 3. times at least euery weeke in the publike vse of my Ministry whilst I did peruse prepare this to the Presse 2 Whereas some Doctrines are but lightly touched left bare without any amplification it is eyther because they were more obvious and casie or else are enlarged in some part of the Booke or because the volume would haue swolne too much if I had dilated all alike Looke for these tearmes Coherence Scope Sum Parts Interpretation Doctrines c. but sometime pointed in the Margent yet mostly noted in the body of the Booke as will be of any heedfull Reader easily obserued 3. Howsoeuer this whole Booke seeme and indeede is bigger then at first was thought of the Epistle beeing exceeding rich in Doctrines whereof thou hast scarse the gleanings yet the particular Dialogues will be deemed rather too compendious Matters being rather pointed at with the finger then explicated to the ful not so much the truth spoken out as an hint giuen what might be spoken leauing good grounds of Meditation to such as haue the gift and Art of Meditating 4. These things were preached in a popular Auditory for the most part where care was had to vtter high things in homely plaine words therefore the learned are to beare with it if they alwayes finde not the sublimity of the stile to answere the Maiesty of the matter I had rather speake fiue words to edification then a thousand to vaine ostentation And because I did not enioy
this consent serue vnto Silas It serueth to confirme vs in this perswasion that the Scriptures are diuine and no humaine thing or inuention of man as also it confuteth the Manichees and Marcionites which vtterly reiect the Old Testament Tim. What do ye call Scriptures Silas Euery thing that is written is Scripture in a large and generall sense but this word Scripture by an excellency is giuen peculiarly to those Books which containe the word of God and were written by Inspiration of the Holy Ghost for the perpetuall instruction of the Church 2 Tim. 3 16. This doth put vs in minde of Gods great goodnesse that would haue his Word put in writing and so wonderously to preserue those Bookes in all Ages for his Church sake without losse of one iot or tittle notwithstanding great meanes to suppresse and extinguish them Tim. By what reasons can ye prooue vnto vs that these Bookes which are called Scriptures be the very word of God rather then any other writings Silas There be heercof sundrie Arguments which may perswade all men and some which will and doe perswade Gods Children First that which was touched before the great Hermony and constant consent of one part of this Booke with another in such a huge variety of infinite matter yet no repugnancy howsoeuer some diuersity may be found Secondly the Maiesty of the matter in great simplicity of words Thirdlie the efficacy power and vertue thereof working in the hearts of sinners for their conuersion which no other Writing in the world doth or can effect for mans natures in their reasons and wils being corrupt are as contrary to the Doctrine taught in these Bookes as darknesse to light Heauen to Hell yet are they by the mighty efficacy hid in them reconciled to them so as they willingly yeeld approoue and honor them also the power of them maketh euen the wicked to feare and tremble as in Foelix Fourthlie the euents of Prophesies so many hundred yea so many thousand yeares fore-shewed As the Seede of the Woman promised to Adam the bondage of Iacob in AEgypt the Captiuity of Babylon the Birth of Iosiah and of Cirus reuealing of Antichrist and innumerable such like and made before yet accordingly fulfilled in their due time doth bewray them to be from that all seeing veritie Fiftly the Penmen of the Scripture as Moyses Dauid Iob Mathew Paul discouering their owne corruptions and infirmities euen to their owne great preiudice and crack of their own estimation in the world and so vnpartially reporting the foul blemishes of their owne people and Country-men doth testifie that they were gouerned by the holy Spirit of truth in the penning of them Sixtlie there be sundry examples and stories in the Bible to which euen the Heathen and Pagan yea and Iewish Writers being enemies to Christ doe giue testimony to the truth of them as in Iosephus and others and the witnesse of an enemy it is of no smal credit and force Seuenthlie the strange preseruations of these Bookes notwithstanding the strange malice of the Deuill and the mischieuous pollicies and practises of his most wicked Instruments to suppresse and extingnish them yet that they should be so kept as to remaine intire without losse of any Booke nay of any Iot or Tittle as very Iudiciously learned men do think this diuine protection doth argue that their Authoritie is diuine Adde vnto all this the constant Testimony which so many worthy Martirs by their death blood haue giuen to this truth Lastly euery one of Gods Children haue the witnesse of his owne Spirit the Authour of the Scriptures to testifie in the consciences of them that they are inspired of God and doe containe a diuine infallible truth Tim. Whereunto must this help and profit vs Silas To arme our mindes against that dangerous temptation of doubting the truth of Scriptures whether they be of God Secondly to draw more reuerence towards those Bookes and Writings with more studie in them then towards al other writings whatsoeuer being the Booke of Bookes therefore by an excellencie called the Bible Tim. Why are the Scriptures called Holy Silas First because they proceede from the Spirit which is Holy Luke 1. 6 7. Secondly they teach a truth which also is Holy euen the truth which is according to godlinesse Titus 1 1. Thirdly they be Instruments whereby the Elect are sanctified and made Holy Ioh. 17. 17. Sanctifie them with thy truth thy word is truth Lastly they were written to diuers most holy Ends as to teach to conuince to correct to instruct in righteousnesse 2. Tim. 3. 16. Also to giue comfort Rom. 15. 4. Tim. What learne ye by this Silas First that they haue a sacred authority in themselues containing a diuine Doctrine and doe not depend on Church or Pope Secondly that the Scriptures are to be preached read and heard with holy affection Moyses is commaunded to put off his shooes because the ground is holie Exod. 3. 5. Thirdly they are neuer to be mentioned but with great reuerence and honourable Titles Lastly seeing they are Holy therefore to apply them to vaine and light or to prophane and wicked vses as in Charmes Inchantments in lefts and meriments in playes and interludes is a grieuous sinne euen an horrible prophanation of Gods name Tim. What doth the third verse containe Silas A description of our Redeemer and Sauiour who is the matter and substance the end and scope of holy Scriptures which teach vs nothing else saue Christ as their maine subiect and lead to nothing but vnto Christ Iesus as their furthest marke This discerneth the Gospell not onely from other prophane Writings but euen from Moyses Law which hath the same Authour not the same Subiect Tim. How is he described Silas First by his Person which is but one concerning his Sonne Secondly by his Titles which are three First Iesus Secondly Christ. Thirdly our Lord. Thirdly by his two Natures which are distinctlie set downe with their proofes the humaine first which was of the Seede of Dauid then the Diuine Verse 4. declared mightilie to be the Sonne of God Tim. What is the Summe then of this Scripture Silas That Iesus Christ the Sauiour of the World is both true God and true Man in the vnity of person there is in Christ one thing and another thing that is diuers Natures but yet not one person another person for the person is but one the Son of God made Man by assuming the Manhood into the fellowship of his person Tim. The Manhood of Christ then hath no subsistance out of the person of the Sonne of God Silas No none beeing considered apart but wholy subsisteth in the person of the Sonne to which it is inseparably and wonderfully vnited Tim. What is to be obserued touching this vnion of Natures in one person Silas That our Sauiour hath his denomination some times according to one Nature as here he is called the Sonne of God
