company and communion who ought rather to have been delivered over unto Satan and ejected out of the Society of the Church 2. In that they went to Law De 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 de secularibus aut ad hanc vitam pertinentibus 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Plenty begets strife and contended one with another even before the Heathen Judges about things pertaining to this life This saith the Apostle I speak to your shame 1 Cor. 6.4 5. For indeed this contentious practise of theirs brought an odium and shame upon the Christian Religion and made that pure and pea●cable profession to stink in the N●strils of the Heathen There were indeed at Corinth many Merchants who are as one observes * Homin●m genus delicatum quaestuosum habendi cupidissimum injuria impatientissimum c. a delicate kind of men very desirous of gain most greedy of having and most impatient of injury and loosing This scandal he reproves and labours to remove 3. He reprehends them for that they took fornication for an indifferent thing or for a matter of no great moment against which silthy sin as well dishonourable to their bodies which ought to be the Members of Christ and the Temple of the Holy Ghost as damnable to their souls he inveighs severely and presseth them by many cogent reasons to Chastity and Sanctimony 3. In the seventh Chap. he comes to answer their Epistle and delivers many Apostolical Precepts as to divers Matrimonial cases and as to the private condition of every individual Corinthiorum dubia de Matrimonialibus The Questions which the Corinthians by their Letter desired a Solution of seem to me to be these 1. Whether a Christian might marry 2. Whether Christian yoke-fellows ought to render to one another due benevolence 3. Whether it be lawful for a married person to leave or withdraw from his yoke-fellow 4. Whether a single life be not better than a married state 5. Whether Divorces are lawful 6. Whether it be lawful for a believer to dwell with an unbeliever 7. Whether a Believer being forsaken by the unbeliever may be held in bondage 8. Whether it were the best or wisest course for Virgins to marry Lastly whether second Marriages are lawful for Widdows 4. In the eighth ninth and tenth Chapters he reprehends those who by pretence of Christian liberty did very scandalously and to the offence of others communicate with the Gentiles in things offered up to Idols from which unlawful and unchristian communion he doth strongly dehort them and that he doth two wayes 1. By his own example shewing that sometimes we ought to abstain from things that are in themselves lawful in case of scandal much more from things unlawful as he himself forbore to receive any stipend salary or wages for preaching to them to avoid thereby the least colour of calumny for he knew the false Teachers were ready to catch at any thing that might defame his Person or traduce his Doctrine being filled with rancour and emulation 2. He dehorts them from communion with the Idols and meats offered to them by a most convincing Argument that they could not nor should not be partakers of the Lords Table and of the Table of Devils for to have fellowship with Idols was to have fellowship with Devils for the things the Gentiles sacrificed were sacrificed to Devils and not to God 1 Cor. 10.19.20 21. 5. In the eleventh Chapter he reproves and corrects two abuses 1. One about seemly behaviour in the Church which both women and men did violate Circa decorum Ecclesiasticum and thereby both created scandals The women praying and prophecying with their heads uncovered in the Congregation acted against modesty and became allurements to the men And the men praying and prophecying in the Church with their heads covered acted against Reverence and against the Light of Nature both was uncomely 2. The other was about the Supper of the Lord Circa coenam Dominicam which the richer sort did mingle with prophane feasts eating and drinking even to excess and luxury the poorer sort in the mean time being shamed despised and left hungry 6. In the twelfth thirteenth and fourteenth Chapters the Apostle layes down several Precepts both concerning the difference and use of Spiritual Gifts and declares by the Allegory of the members of a natural body that all things are to be referr'd to unity and edification of the whole Having spoken much of the variety and excellency of gifts he concludes that all gifts are nothing without the Grace of Love in the praises whereof he makes a pathetical and sweet digression of all gifts he seems both to commend and exhort unto the gift of Prophecy Mulieres à Muniis Ecclesiasticis arcet as also that a convenient and due order should be kept in Prophecying Lastly he bars women from medling with Ecclesiastical Offices or Functions 7. In the fifteenth Chapter he corrects the prophane error of some in denying the Resurrection of the flesh Resurrectio carnis spes nostra Tertul. and confirms and fortifies the contrary truth an Article of our Faith with most weighty and grave Arguments and excellently shews in many things the specifical differences between the body now vile and the body glorious then and how this Doctrine of the Resurrection may very profitably and practically be accommodated to the Consolation of the Saints 8. In the sixteenth Chapter he minds them of a contribution for the poor Saints and Brethren at Jerusalem which he enforceth by the example of the Churches of Galatia and after several godly Exhortations he closeth the Epistle with Salutations and with a Benediction 5. At what time and where or at what place was this Epistle written Although by reason of the defect of History it cannot be positively known at what time or in what order the Epistles of Paul were written Epistolarum Paulinarum ordo yet relation being had unto and collation of them being made with the Apostles Race or Circuit described in the Acts affords some probable guesses or conjectures First and foremost The first of all the Epistles written by Paul seems to be the first Epistle to the Thessalonians The next the second Epistle to the Thessalonians sent from Athens The third in order is reputed the first Epistle to Timothy sent from Laodicea The fourth is deemed to be this first Epistle to the Corinthians before his passage through Macedonia 1 Cor. 16.5 The Greek Copies relate it to be written from Philippi but many hold it was written at Ephesus before Pentecost For he saith 1 Cor. 16.8 I will tarry at Ephesus until Pentecost which happened in the year of Christ 64. and of Nero 9. in which year coming to Jerusalem he was cast into prison Of this Opinion of the Ancient is Athanasius and Chrysostome of the Modern Dionysius Sixtus Senensis Martyr Illyricus Stapleton c.
