the Gallat THe Gallathians were people of Asia after his departure thence false teachers pressed in taught that the Ceremonies of the Lawe were to be kept and they spake euil of this holy Apostle thereby to deface his doctrine Which mooued him to write vnto them discharging himselfe for the credit of his calling confirming his doctrine with the ouerthrow of their false opinions Argument of Ephesians EPhesus was a famous Citie by the Sea of Ionius where was a Temple dedicated to the false Goddesse Diana S. Paule at his first comming stayed little there but at the second time he stayed 3. yeares perceiuing that God had manie there to be saued euen among the Witches Sorcerers Inchaunters c. Whereby the mercie of God appeared more abundantly At his departure he left among them Elders and Timothie as their Bishop This Argument agreeth nearely with the Romanes and Gallathians The argument of the Philippians PHilip Macedon was the originall of that Citie they had domesticall troubles and diuers other losses for the Testimonie of Christ wherefore he exhorteth them to patience and watchfulnesse The argument of the Colloss THe Collossians were a people of that great Citie Collossa Saint Paul was neuer with them They were taught by Epaphras Onesimus and Titichus S. Paule heard that they were troubled with the Iewes about Ceremonies and with the Gentiles about wordes and subtill Philosophie Wherefore hee wrote vnto them to confirme them in that they had learned concerning Christ and to confute the contrarie The Argument of 1. Thess THessalonica was a famous citie of Macedonia whence the people had their name He was among them but three Sabboths by reason of the Iewes Hee sent Timothie vnto them by whom he vnderstood of their constancie Whereupon hee wrote vnto them exhorting them to patience to loue to constancie and to consider well of the resurrection The Argument of 2. Thess HE excuseth his long absence sheweth the manner of the resurrection the comming of Christ he dehorteth from curious questions The argument of 1. Timothie TImothie his Father was a Graecian his mother a Iew which was the cause that hee was not circumcised in his infācie according the lawe His mother Eunica and his grandmother Loida were verie godlie wherein they brought him vp Saint Paule his Master sent him in the Lords busines to diuers places in the ende he was left at Ephesus as their Bishop to whom he wrote this Epistle about the choyce of Pastors in the Church The Argument of 2. Timothie TImothie did greatlie mourne after Paule he therefore did write to comfort him and withall to shewe him how he was holden in prison which was the cause that he came not to Ephesus according to his promise The Argument of Titus TItus was a Graecian borne Saint Paule was his master who left him at Creete to constitute Ministers in euerie Parish and to reforme their manners Titus was a young man therefore his master wrote this Epistle that he should doo nothing rashlie What kind of Pastors were to bee allowed and what not The Argument of Philemon PHilemon was of Collossentia a rich man a godlie man and a liberall he had a seruant called Onesimus who departed from him and stole his money when he heard S. Paule preach he beleeued in Iesus Christ and he confessed his fault Wherevpon Saint Paule wrote to his master exhorting him to forgiue his seruant The Argument of the Haebrues THere are diuers opinions concerning the authoritie hereof Some say it is not Canonicall some say it is not Paules writing some say it is Saint Paules Epistle but not Canonicall because say they there is no mention of his name and the stile is contrarie The trueth is by the best and most godlie learned that it is Saint Paules writing and Canonicall because the matter is consonant to the rest of his Epistles The Graecians did so allow of it and the same was confirmed in the Councell of Nicen. Nicephorus saith that it was written in Haebrue by Saint Paule and translated into Greeke by Saint Luke who altered the stile and method Iraeneus who was Policarpus scholler saide the same the trueth thereof being receiued from Saint Iohn who was Policarpus master such was the obstinacie of the Iewes resisting the doctrine of Christ That gaue occasion to Saint Paule to write exhorting them from the hardnes of their hearts he magnifieth Christ aboue the Prophets Moses Aaron Leui and all other offices who fulfilled the prophecies accomplished the lawe and offered a more perfect sacrifice than they all Saint Paule speaketh of certeine in the 6. Chapter and 10. who had reuolted from the knowne trueth wittinglie willinglie stubbornlie and presumptuouslie that were not by the word of God to bee saued therefore he altereth much of his stile and phrase especiallie at the beginning and ending The Argument of Iames. IN the 10. of Mathew mention is made of two Iames the one was the sonne of Zebedeus the other the sonne of Alpheus It is certaine the Author of this Epistle was Iames the sonne of Alpheus who is in that Chapter called Lebbeus and Thaddeus He is called the brother of Jude and the brother of our Lord Gal. 1 19. Hee was the sonne of Mary Cleophas who was sister to the Virgin Mary It is the phrase of Scripture to call Cousens Bretheren This Epistle is called Catholicall because it is to all people The summe thereof is to instruct all men how to liue how to beleeue He setteth out the conuersation of those that are regenerated of faith of patience and of their teachers The Argument of 1. Peter THis Peter was by all consent the author of this Epistle He was called Simon the sonne of Iohn the Fisher Christ named him Cephas which is Peter Mark 3. he was one of the Apostles and the chiefest for diuers causes He speaketh of workes after regeneration as Saint James doth he descendeth into the dueties of each degree and of the conuersion of the Gentiles It was written vpon the occasion that Siluanus being long with Saint Paule and trauailing to Babilon met with Saint Peter who deliuered him this Epistle generall to Gentiles and Iewes The Argument of the 2. Epistle of Peter HE exhorteth all men from day to day and from degree to degree to encrease in the workes of regeneration to beware of false teachers the state of the last times He thought his death to bee at hand wherefore he wrote to the glorie of his master Christ 2. Pet. 1.14 15. The Argument of the 1. Epistle of Iohn THis Iohn was one of the foure Euangelists he was the sonne of Zebedeus beloued of Christ and wrote the Reuelation He exhorteth to faith to brotherlie loue to trie and approoue the spirits to auoide false teachers hypocrisie small offences and to deck themselues with godlie liuing The Argument of the 2. Epistle of Iohn HErein he handleth mutuall loue the dutie of widowes to beware of false Teachers a way to know them and with whom is no fellowship laid downe He wrote especiallie to a certaine godlie widowe who with her children and household laboured after Christ The Argument of the 3. Epistle of Iohn IN this Epistle he exhorteth his familiar friends and his host Gains c. thanking GOD for the great comfort receiued at his hands he laid him downe as a harborer of all that loued Iesus Christ He exhorteth to constancie and to beware of Tyrants The Argument of Iude. HE was one of the Apostles he instructeth the godlie to continue in well doing He sheweth the Iustice of God against sinners and reuolters as the Angels the Iewes Zodome c. The Argument of the Reuelation THis booke containeth all the doctrine of the Prophets concerning Christ which was to be accomplished after his comming The comfort that commeth by his death how to know the false spirit the battaile betweene the Church and the limmes of Sathan the mariage of Christ with his Saints the prouidence of God and the force of his word Now the verie GOD of peace sanctifie you throughout and I pray God that your whole spirit soule and bodie may bee kept blameles vnto the comming of our Lord Iesus Christ Faithfull is he which calleth you which will also doo it 1.

These Bookes and Chapters of the olde and new Testament doo not agree by comparison in all respects but in some particulars And therefore I haue laid downe briefly the Argument of euerie Book in the new Testament by the which you may the more easilie perceiue the like in the old and make your comparison fit The Argument of S.

Euangelists agree in this which is a strong proofe of the truth and great dignitie of Gods Word by the length of time and distance of place in which it was written One is more briefe than the other and one handleth some thing larger than the other 1. Mathew the humanitie of Christ eight yeares after the ascension of Christ 2. Marke is briefe in all hee sheweth the ende of the law and deuideth the Kingdome 10. yeares after Christs ascension 3. Luke the Office of Christ by abolishing the workes of the lawe fifteene yeares after Christ 4. Iohn the diuinitie of Christ and the seruice of God in spirit 32. yeres after Christ THe Author of the 14.

THe Romanes were Iewes and Gentiles embracing Christ in Rome among whome were manie false teachers which mooued S. Paule to write exhorting them to take heed thereof and to increase in the knowledge of Christ the dignitie of workes in the Iewes in the Gentiles of sinne of faith of grace of iustification by faith and in conclusion of salutations The Argument of the 1. Cor. THe Corinthians had their originall of Corinthus who built that citie it was a place greatly frequented In that Citie was the Temple dedicated to the Goddesse Venus There was that great notorious whore Lais spoken of ouer all the world and there manie other whores yet in this Citie God had his Church Saint Paule continued there a yeare and 6. months preaching But when he departed into Syria manie false teachers entred in and taught that whoredome ryor drunkennesse c. was lawfull matrimonie vnlawfull and they denied the resurrection S. Paule hearing of this wrote this Epistle to withdraw them from all these euills by particulars with exhortations to remain in the doctrine he had taught them Argument of the 2. Cor.
