be God the euerlasting Creator and preferring his Gospell before the preaching of the Law moke away the obiections that are made This is the principall proposition of this Epistle and all tend vnto this end that the Iewes to whom he writes leaning Iudaisme should put their hope assuredly in Christ In the third and fourth chapters hee preacheth Christ to be much more excel lent than Moses by making comparison By and by he applyeth the time of the Gospell vnto that which is in the ninth Psalme called to day with an horrible threatning by their example whoe for their incredulity perished in the wildernesse being shut out from the rest in the land of Canaan In the fift sixt and seuenth he begins to describe Christ to be a priest by comparing him with Aron and with Melchisedech In the ende of the fift chapter for the slothfulnesse and dulnesse of the Iewes a dangerous dissession whose description he seemeth willingly to passe In the sixt chapter it seemeth that a place of repentance is denied to an offender to strike a terror into the obstinate In the seuenth chapter he describeth commendeth Melchisedech in which he extolleth the priesthood of Christ In the eight nine and ten he shewes by many graue arguments Christ to be the onely priest and the onely sacrifice for our sinnes which he prefers before al Legal sacrifices calling it the newe Testament out of the 13. chapter of Ieremy Afterwardes he reckoneth the partâ— of the Tabernacle chapter 9. that is to wit The gate or portch the holy place and the holy of holiest with their significations In which figures he applies the bloud of Christ purifying the consciences He cals Christ the Mediator of the New testament signifieng the bloud of Christ to be powred out in the new Testament for the remission of sinnes Last of all by repetition hee amplifyeth the same that is to wit The sacrifices of Christe with the sacrifices Leuiticall Psal 39 and 31. chapt At length hee concludes this whole place by an exhortation to settle confidence in the bloud of Christe and performes the duties of mutuall loue by good workes making preparation to the chap. following In the 11 12 and 13 he commendes by examples the faith of the Patriarkes and of other saintes of the old testamant Then hee ioyneth an exhortation for the fruits of Faith patience discipline peace sanctification true repentance obedieÌ„ce towards the word of the Gospel not only bringing the example of Christ but also threateninges out of the olde Testament In the last chap he reckoneth a heape of good workes with an exhortation to auoide false doctrine and with an exhortation to confesse the true doctrine of Iesus Christ to giue thankes The Epistle of Iames. SOme men thinke that this Epistle is not written by Iames the Apostle which was slaine by Herod not onely because of that place cited out of Genesis concerning Abraham for the Iustification of works contrary to the analogie of Faith but also for other places taken out of the epistle of Peter and Paule and of this Epistle mixed heere and there It is not a methodical epistle as other saye neyther doth it containe one certaine matter but as a man may say dissolued or vnloynted scopes that is to say Sentences not agreeing in order amongst themselues And the summe is that hee vrgeth the Law and good workes against secure carelesse men and boasters of faith with our good workes There are fiue chapters which are thus to be discerned In the first chapt he proponeth parcicularly these 8. sentences 1 Patience is to be shewed in aduersity 2 Diuine wisedome to bee desired of God 3 Wee muste beleeue without wauering 4 We must vse riches rightly 5 And suffer tentations which do rise from concupiscence 6 To heare the heauenlye worde diligently 7 And do good workes being the effect of the word 8 To liue in true religion In the second chapter he handleth onely two thinges the one that poore Christians be not contemned seeing that faith in Iesus Christ dooth not suffer the exception of persons the other concerning good workes by the which faith towards God and our neighbour is shewed as this place is a collation betwixt man and man not betwixt God man where faith only iustifieth whe he faith shew me thy faith by thy works If any do not thus vnderstand Iames. but wil wrest this his sentence to Iustification which auailes before God hee takes away the analogye of faith And the Epistle of Paule to the Romanes which seeing it is absurd the sentence of Iames may admit a profitable interpretation and the analogie of Faith Otherwise places or examples out of Genesis or of the booke of Ioshua concerning iustification might bee cited directly against natural sence of scripture concerning Iustification In the thirde chapter are also twoe places wel handled of the which one is the restraint of the toung that he teach not false doctrine which is to arrogate and vsurpe to himselfe magistracye in the holy scriptures aboue the holy ghost the true teacher and maister whose disciples are all true teachers in the church The other place is concerning the diuine wisdome which is in the doctrine Lawe and Gospel the very light of faith in our mindes and the beginner of obedience agreeing with the law of god according to this saying Thy worde is a lanterne vnto my feet In the fourth chapter there are forewarninges concerning vertues in euery commandement of the Tables as in one knot or heape bound together 1 Concerning the auoiding of contention 2 Of pleasures or desires 3 Concerning prayer 4 The auoiding of adultery 5 Of pride and humility 6 Concerning obedience towardes God and so forth vnto the end of the chapter In the fift chapter he chiefly inueyeth against those that doe abuse their riches I hen hee exhorteth the godly to patience and sufferance and hee dehorts them from the custome of swearinge Then hee perswadeth to haue a care of the weake and to pray one for another Last of all he exhortes to prayer and he commends it by the example of Elias In the end he shewes the true effect of conuersion The first Epistle of PETER THis Epistle is truely Apostolicall as of him which being asked of Christ who he was answered Thou art Christ the son of God Mathew 16. Againe to whom shal we goe thou hast the words of eternall lyfe Iohn 6. For it hath a sweet sauour of the same confession with constancy and sincerity in Faith For he confesseth Christ syncetely taking away saluation from our merits and deliuering the true knoledge of Christ in which he would haue al the Gentiles that are conuerted vnto whom he writes to goe forwarde constantly and to increase from day to day so as they may answer in their liues maners and conuersations to the Gospell of what state soeuer they bee as those whom he numbreth 1 The Subiects 2 The Seruants 3 The Women 4 The

abuse of Christian liberty and warneth that the weake are to bee forborne rather then be an offence one to another chiefly in outward things As in meates drinkes and apparell and the communion of the sacrament At sometunes bringing himselfe for example at other times bringing moste horrible and fearefull examples out of the olde Testament From the 12. vnto the 15. he first repeateth the excelent guiftes of God in which the Ministrie of the worde is presented vnto the glory of God after that he seteth before their eyes the duties of Charitie Last of all he so comendes the Ministerie of the worde and preaching that he feareth not to preferre the same before all the Sermons and readinges of the Scripture From the 15. vnto the end he shewes most euidentlye and plainely the resurrection of the dead by the example of Christ and after that he shewes the clearnes of their bodies in eternall life to be diuers by many similitudes adioyning the maner of rising the victorie of the Godly Death being swallowed vp Last of all besides that he speaketh very familiarly in the last chapter concerning the helpinges and collections for the Saintes hee adioyning a finall conclusion with a horible threatening that hee which loueth not Iesus Christ our Lord God let him be accursed and condemned to eternall death The latter Epistle to the Corinthians THis Epistle doth differ from the first as oyle from wine or the Gospell froÌ„ the Law for in the 2. Epistle Paul comforteth the Corinthians sheweth him selfe very kinde towardes them doth bid that the excommunicated man may be receiued into fauour This Epistle doth consist of fiue thinges 1 Consolations 1 2 3 4. 2 Commendations 5. 3 Exhortations 6 7. 4 Inuectiues 8 9. 5 Comminations 10 11. From the beginning vnto the 6. chap are commendatioÌ„s First wheÌ„ he shews his loue towards the Corinthians and whatsoeuer he preached whatsoeuer he did and suffered was to their profit The he commends the ministery of the Gospell and as a doctrine most necessary worthier then the ministery of the Law That it is increased also in the beleuers and bred hope in them of eternal glory thorow affliction From the 6. vnto the 10. are exhortations First he exhorts them that they do adorne the worde of GOD with the workes of patience And afterwardes that they do giue their alines to the poore saintes at Ierusalem From the 10. vnto the end there are Inuections and comminations First he inueyeth against false Apostles he very confidently laboureth against them and doth glory in the Lord after this maner 1 of outward things and of other mens affaires 2 of his own sufferings in the body 3 of his owne passions in the soul for the Church 4 of Flying and escaping 5 of Visions reuealations tentations 6 of his fidelity in the ministerie of the worde amongst the Corinthians 7 of his desire to secure the Corinthians 8 of his redinesse 9 of his will to die for the Corinthians 10 of the iustification of a good conscience for that hee did not hurt the Corinthians Afterwardes hee shewes by manye reasons that Paule himselfe alone labored more in the ministery of the worde and suffered more then all amongst the false apostles of the Corinthians to wit in labours in imprisonments in stripes c. chap. 11. Lastly he threatneth the Corinthians in the last chapter who woulde not repent as Augustine saith He writes that hee will come as a iudge to the intent that he do not find whom to condemn Furthermore he saith that hee prayde for the Corinthians that they doe no euill whence Augustine saith it doeth appeare that God doth correct the will of man and doth guide it that he may do good workes Psal 63. The waies of man are directed by the Lord. The Epistle of Paule to the Galathians THis Epistle comes neer to that Epistle which Paule wrote to the Romanes as concerning christian Doctrine Paule defends the article of Iustification against false Apostles and confirmes the righteousnes of faith that a man is not iustified by the workes of the Law but only by faith in Iesus Christ And although there are two principal partes of this epistle the one of the righteousnesse of faith vnto the 5. chap The other of the fruites of faith or of good workes vnto the ende Notwithstanding sithence there are six chapters they may be considered twoe and two togither Paule in the first and second chapter doth extol and commend his vocation that he teacheth the churches by Diuine authority and not by humane and that he proues to be true by many argumeÌ„ts that is to wit 1 That he Went into Arabia straight vp on his conuersion 2 That he Came into Ierusalem only to see Peter 3 That he Went into the parts of Cilicia and Syria 4 That he Circumcised Titus at Ierusalem 5 That he Receiued nothing from the great Apostles 6 That he Reproued Peter Afterwardes hauing put this principall proposition in the end of the second chapter to wit that a man is not iustified by the workes of the Lawe but by faith in Christ He goes forward to proue the same in the third and fourth chapter First by scriptures Secondly by examples Thirdly by similitudes of Scripture out of Genesis Leuiticus Deuteronomy and Abacuc There are three similitudes besides allegories Therefore we are not iustified by the workes of the Law but by faith in Christ The summe or effect of the argumentes with Christ 1 That He is not the minister of sin 2 That He deliuered himself to deth 3 That He died not in vaine 4 That The holy ghost is giuen thorough faith 5 That Abram is iustified by faith 6 That They that iustifie themselues are vnder the cursse 7 That The iust shall liue by his faith 8 That Christ was made a cursse for vs. 9 That Righteousnesse was before the law 10 That Inheritance comes by promise Last of all hee teacheth in the fifte and sixt chapter a conclusion beeing made concerning the place of iustification the fruites of Faith inforcing the commandementes concerning good workes and manners that the beleuers should walke according to charitye and should maintaine their liberty in Christ and yet after that sort as not abusing the same That Paule was amongest the Galath See Act. 18. The Epistle to the Ephesians THe Epistle to the Ephesians is the amplification of the place of Iustification and reconciliation and the admyrable and profounde commendation of the Gospell and also a long rehearsal of Gods benefites in the cause of our saluation It is deuided into two principall partes to wit the tree and the fruit of the tree that is to say into doctrine of the righteousnesse of faith and of good workes The some of the first part that dooth respect Faith consisteth in these benefits of God giuen vnto vs through Christe As are 1 Spirituall blessing 2 Election 3 Predestination 4 Adoption 5 Good will 6 Glorious grace 7

preacheth by saint Paule not onely to Tymothye but to all the gouernors and teachers of the Church who had receiued the true doctrine of the Gospell Wherefore this Epistle ought to be most deare of very good account and speciall reckoning to the Ministers of the Gospell There are 4. chapters which are thus to be deuided In the first chapter after gratulation he warneth Tymothy First for the stirring vp of the grace of God 2 That he be not ashamed of the gospell of the bondes of Paule 3. To suffer affliction 4 For the retaining of the forme of whol some doctrine 5. to keepe that good which was committed vnto him hee inserteth also an excellent and most Euangelicall saying He that hath sowed vs c. which makes against Iustification by the works for the only grace of God and also commending his office and the house of Onismus against the falling away of the people of Asia from the gospell In the 2. chapter after the commendation of the doctrine chiefely hee exhorteth him to suffer afflictions bringing forth excellent arguments from the reward then hee is exhorted from the contentions and vaine ianglings of men shewing that it is no maruell if the good and euill be together in the church when as in a ritche mans house there are vessels appointed some to honour some to dishonour Last of all in this chapter is chiefelye handled that hee would haue him to deuide rightly the word of trueth least he should confound the lawe and the Gospell in the handling thereof But to vrge the law against the euill the wicked and obstinate that they may be deliuered to the magistrate to be punished or to be excommunicated and to comfort the afflicted and godly with the Gospell In the end of the chapter he sheweth that repentance is the gift of God In the the third chapter to the first perils to weet the falling away of the people of Asia and of others from the gospell of Christ he addeth another perill and setteth foorth false teachers verye largely whom he foretels that shoulde come in the latter daies against whome he exhorteth Tymothie by his constancy he might be profitable also to all his posterity Furthermore as in the former Epistle euen so Paule in this place by the light of Gods spirit foreseeth the impiety of the Bishoppe of Rome and those thinges which haue been done in Rome these 900. yeares In the ende he commendeth the sacred scripture then which commendation nothing can bee more excellently spoken From the fourth chapter he concludeth the Epistle by protestations in which he doth most earnestly charge Tymothie to the worke of an Euangelist shewing that the time of his dissolution was at hand that he had fought a good fight then with some fewe pointes of curtesie he endeth the Epistle he wrote this Epistle out of doubt a little before his martyrdome The Epistle to Tytus ALbeit this Epistle is not such a method as is the Epistle to the Romans yet notwithstanding it containeth the summe briefely of all christian religion in which he first instructeth and informeth teachers so that these three chapt might be deuided according to three principall states to weet Religion Pollicy and Domesticall gouernment or rule of an houshold The last of which he placeth in the middest because for the preseruing thereof God ordained the other two Very fitly was annexed to this information the place of Iustification Againe and again that to the same as to a marke all things might be directed aymed and referred In the first chapter he discerneth Religion and as in the Epistle to Tymothy euen so here hee describeth vnder the name of a Bishop all the ministers of the Gospell what manner of people they ought for to be in life doctrine Now for the faithfull themselues at an other time by reason of false teachers which he paintes out vnto the end of the chapter he sets foorth to beholde their impiety as it were in a glasse in which our Papistes may the more rightly looke into themselues In the second chapter he drawes a table as it were of household manners and he reformeth the life of euery state concerning houshold affaires where vnder the name of Young he admonisheth Tytus himselfe that he should shewe himselfe in all thinges an example of good workes then he sheweth the reason to weet the appearaunce of the grace of God in this that CHRIST gaue himselfe for vs that we should liue in him modestly iustly and godly In the third chapter he giues preceptes concerning pollicy and of obedience to be giuen towards magistrates He teacheth that all subiects are to bee warned by Titus adding therunto great causes out of the Lawe and Gospell to wit that we are all debters to the same Againe bringing in that most excellent place of Iustification wherein he takes away saluation by workes and doth ascribe it to the only mercy of God thorough our mediatour Christ Where he shewes very euidently the forme maner of our redemption That whosoeuer coueteth to bee a new man it is necessarie for him to beleeue and to bee baptized In the end he dehorts to good workes and to auoide foolish and heretical questions The Epistle of Paule to Philemon THis Epistle shewes the wonderfull loue of Paule towardes his neighbour in this that he studied to reconcile Onisemus to his maister Phylemon with great humility of minde and with sweet wordes first he commends Philemons faith and charity Afterwards he puts forth his petition for Onesimus being conuerted to the faith Last of al with sweete affections hee takes vppon himselfe the faulte of Onisemus doeth reconcile him to his maister not now as a seruant but as a deare beloued brother in Christ a great example of charity and study of concord in Paule The Epistle to the Hebrues ALthough it bee doubtfull whether this bee the Epistle of saint Paule because of some places in the 9 10 and 12 chapters Out of the which it is prooued by some that it was not Paule that wrote it Yes neuer thelesse the Epistle hath the authoritye of the holye Ghost as appeares by the scope therof He deliuers plainly christ to be true God and true manne yea our onely sâ—â—â—our and redeemer and the greater part of the Epistle stands on comparison by which it conuinceth the Lord of all namely Christ the naturall and euerlasting sonne of God He compares Christ 1 with the Angels chap. 1 2. 2 with the Moses chap. 3 and 4. 3 with the Aron chap. 5. 4 with the Melchisedeth chap. 6 and 7. 5 with the Sacrifices of the law 8.9 10. It hath 13. chapters which for the better declaration of them though not altogither exactly may be thus deuided In the first two chapters after his entrance wherein he briefly describeth the diuinity and humanitye of Christ and shewes him to be much more excellent then the Angels by nine argumentes in which he preached Christ to
