the_o faith_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o in_o nothing_o terrify_v by_o their_o adversary_n at_o 27_o and_o 28._o vers_fw-la and_o more_o particular_o he_o commend_v they_o in_o chap._n 2._o as_o

and_o gather_v a_o church_n from_o out_o of_o a_o church_n already_o right_o settle_v that_o those_o who_o here_o preach_v christ_n of_o envy_n and_o strife_n do_v not_o so_o much_o intermeddle_v with_o person_n convert_v before_o as_o endeavour_v to_o make_v new_a convert_v to_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n seem_v very_o clear_a and_o evident_a from_o the_o contentious_a end_n of_o their_o preach_v which_o be_v to_o add_v as_o the_o apostle_n here_o tell_v we_o affliction_n to_o his_o bond_n they_o very_o well_o know_v as_o st._n chrysostom_n observe_v supra_fw-la that_o he_o be_v already_o obnoxious_a to_o nero_n for_o publish_v a_o doctrine_n so_o contrary_a to_o his_o vice_n and_o therefore_o they_o preach_v the_o same_o doctrine_n st._n paul_n do_v that_o so_o this_o

much_o to_o confirm_v the_o disciple_n this_o apostle_n have_v make_v as_o to_o add_v more_o to_o they_o and_o by_o win_v over_o as_o many_o as_o they_o can_v both_o of_o jew_n and_o gentile_n to_o

esteem_v the_o head_n of_o the_o party_n but_o all_o this_o while_n they_o teach_v those_o who_o have_v not_o learn_v before_o the_o gospel_n of_o christ_n which_o can_v be_v the_o case_n of_o the_o bold_a and_o contentious_a preacher_n of_o our_o time_n they_o do_v not_o pretend_v to_o teach_v a_o people_n already_o untaught_a or_o to_o carry_v the_o gospel_n where_o it_o be_v never_o hear_v

observe_v that_o a_o vast_a difference_n be_v to_o be_v make_v between_o preach_v christ_n from_o contention_n or_o envy_n to_o a_o particular_a person_n and_o preach_v up_o a_o general_a contention_n in_o the_o name_n of_o christ._n it_o have_v already_o be_v mention_v that_o those_o here_o take_v notice_n of_o be_v such_o as_o preach_v the_o gospel_n out_o of_o envy_n to_o st._n paul_n such_o as_o look_v with_o a_o very_a ill_a eye_n upon_o the_o glorious_a success_n of_o his_o ministry_n and_o therefore_o out_o of_o emulation_n and_o strife_n contend_v with_o he_o for_o the_o number_n of_o disciple_n and_o the_o multiply_a those_o they_o suppose_v but_o vain_o may_v add_v grief_n of_o mind_n to_o his_o bodily_a confinement_n may_v add_v new_a grief_n and_o fresh_a danger_n to_o he_o from_o his_o enemy_n at_o rome_n where_o he_o be_v now_o set_v for_o the_o defence_n of_o the_o gospel_n or_o for_o his_o have_v defend_v and_o maintain_v it_o a_o design_n in_o those_o that_o carry_v it_o on_o wide_o different_a from_o the_o very_a spirit_n of_o christianity_n but_o yet_o they_o preach_v christianity_n still_o for_o it_o be_v christ_n who_o they_o preach_v and_o when_o it_o be_v say_v they_o do_v it_o not_o of_o truth_n and_o sincerity_n it_o do_v not_o refer_v to_o the_o matter_n of_o their_o doctrine_n as_o if_o they_o teach_v what_o be_v false_a and_o unfound_a but_o to_o their_o intention_n which_o be_v not_o so_o true_o to_o advance_v the_o knowledge_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o world_n as_o to_o grieve_v this_o bless_a apostle_n and_o to_o create_v he_o more_o hardship_n and_o ill_a usage_n he_o do_v not_o say_v the_o father_n before_o mention_v and_o after_o he_o loc._n theophylact_fw-mi and_o both_o confirm_v by_o finem_fw-la tertullian_n and_o 75._o st._n cyprian_n where_o it_o fall_v in_o their_o way_n to_o consider_v this_o place_n he_o do_v not_o speak_v of_o such_o who_o teach_v heretical_a doctrine_n but_o of_o those_o who_o right_o teach_v christ_n but_o do_v it_o from_o no_o right_a purpose_n of_o mind_n so_o that_o whatever_o the_o motive_n be_v to_o themselves_o of_o undertake_v the_o ministry_n it_o appear_v what_o they_o teach_v be_v no_o other_o than_o orthodox_n but_o as_o for_o our_o present_a contentious_a preacher_n it_o will_v be_v difficult_a for_o they_o to_o make_v it_o appear_v that_o they_o preach_v the_o truth_n as_o it_o be_v in_o christ_n jesus_n it_o will_v be_v hard_a for_o they_o to_o show_v that_o they_o do_v not_o preach_v up_o a_o national_a contention_n in_o the_o name_n of_o christ_n which_o be_v more_o than_o these_o do_v why_o else_o do_v we_o hear_v from_o they_o so_o many_o doctrine_n tend_v not_o only_a to_o lessen_v but_o destroy_v the_o very_a be_v and_o authority_n of_o that_o church_n which_o be_v establish_v upon_o the_o foundation_n of_o prophet_n and_o apostle_n why_o else_o do_v we_o hear_v from_o they_o so_o many_o position_n destructive_a of_o monarchy_n and_o so_o dangerous_a to_o king_n for_o who_o this_o very_a apostle_n exhort_v we_o especial_o to_o make_v supplication_n and_o prayer_n and_o thanksgiving_n and_o if_o thus_o they_o preach_v another_o gospel_n than_o he_o whatever_o favour_v this_o passage_n may_v afford_v they_o i_o do_v not_o know_v how_o it_o can_v relieve_v they_o from_o another_o wherein_o the_o same_o mouth_n pronounce_v that_o tho'_o he_o 8._o or_o a_o angel_n from_o heaven_n shall_v preach_v any_o other_o gospel_n than_o what_o he_o have_v preach_v let_v he_o be_v accurse_v if_o therefore_o upon_o the_o whole_a the_o preacher_n now_o such_o in_o defiance_n of_o the_o law_n instead_o of_o carry_v on_o a_o personal_a contention_n promote_v and_o have_v effectual_o promote_v a_o most_o dangerous_a and_o most_o universal_a disturbance_n i_o can_v but_o conceive_v the_o difference_n be_v so_o wide_a between_o those_o the_o apostle_n refer_v to_o in_o this_o place_n and_o those_o we_o meet_v with_o in_o the_o present_a
