Hymenaeus Alexander and Philetus 1 Tim. 1.19 20. 2 Tim. 2.16 17 18. and other false teachers of that age 1 John 2.18 19 26. Finally others though they continued in the meere purity of that word yet being indulgent to some particular affection did not procure the unanimous edification of the Church together with other Ministers such as they may be accounted of whom the Apostle speaketh Philip. 1.12 13. c. Philip. 1. v. 12. But I would ye should understand brethren that the things which happened unto me have fallen out rather unto the furtherance of the gospel v. 13. So that my bonds in Christ are manifest in all the palace and in all other places v. 14. And many of the brethren in the Lord waxing confident by my bonds are much more bold to speake the word without fear v. 15. Some indeed preach Christ even of envie and strife and some also of good will v. 16. The one preach Christ of contention not sincerely supposing to adde affliction to my bonds v. 17. But the other of love knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel v. 18. What then notwithstanding every way whether in pretence or in truth Christ is preached and I therein do rejoyce yea and will rejoyce v. 19. For I know that this shall turn to my salvation through your prayer and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ 13. But since the people of that age had an infallible oyntment and knew the truth 1 John 2.20 27. were confirmed therein 1 Pet. 5.12 2 Pet. 1.12 were replenished and enriched with all necessary knowledge Rom. 15.14 1 Cor. 1.5 6 7 8. had mutuall faith with the Apostles alike precious and most holy Rom. 1.8 12. 2 Pet. 1.1 Jude ver 20. had learnt the doctrine of the Apostles and had beleeved it as it was preached by them and had received it Rom. 16.17 2 Thes 2.15 1 Cor. 15.11 Heb. 10.26 Acts 8.14 could retaine that doctrine as it had been delivered to them 1 Cor. 11. 2. Acts 2.42 did altogether abound in faith and utterance and knowledge and all diligence 2 Cor. 8.7 had the truth of the Gospell abiding with them Gal 2.5 had beene sealed with the holy Spirit upon the word of truth or Gospell of their Salvation Ephes 1.13 had the sanctification of the Spirit and beliefe of the truth 2 Thes 2.13 had the form of the Apostles doctrine Rom. 6.17 Jude v. 3. could try the Spirits whether they were of God 1 John 4.1 2 3. 2 John v. 9 10. Heb. 9.10 might be and was sound in the faith Titus 1.13 Apoc. 2 25. might continue in the faith grounded and setled and not moved away from the hope of the Gospel which they had heard Col. 1.23 knew how they ought to walke and please God 1 Thes 4.1 2. and consequently knew that one only faith Heb. 11.6 Ephes 4.5 c. since I say the people of that age were endued with the aforesaid faculties they could easily observe what particular Ministers did depart from the purity of that Word and therefore though the Ministers of particular Churches by the neglect of their gifts or otherwise might depart from the truth yet were not the people using their gifts to the end aforesaid endangered thereby since they could easily detect it a 1 John 2 20 21 24 26 27 28. and 2 Ioh. v. 9 10. 1 Joh. 2. v. 20. But ye have an unction from the holy One and ye know all things v. 21. I have not written unto you because yee know not the truth but because ye know it and that no lie is of the truth v. 24 Let that therefore abide in you which ye have heard from the beginning if that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain in you ye also shall continue in the Son and in the Father v. 26.
