〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 I have the reward this would be rewardable in me i. e. the very preaching would without any other honorable circumstance to inhanse it 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 but if involuntarily i. e. 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 saith Theophylact if I am commissionated to preach and so my preaching be an act of obedience to a plain command and so necessary v. 16. and woe to me if I do it not then all that can be said of me is that 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 being intrusted with a Stewardship I discharge it 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 it is manifest that I do it not spontaneously but I performe my Lords command for this is the meaning of involuntary And so there is nothing of excellence in this 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 this will bring me in no reward Upon which it follows 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 What reward then shall be to me i. e. What in this whole matter shall bring me in any reward To which the Apostle answers 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 that preaching the Gospell I do it freely without making it chargeable to the auditors 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 so that I make not use of not as we render it abuse not my power or liberty that I have in the Gospell i. e. the power of receiving maintenance from others whether by hire from them to whom he preacht the labourer being worthy of that or by way of aide from other pious persons such as Phoebe and the like intimated by the 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 some Christian women that attended and ministred to them v. 8. without putting my self to bodily labour to earn necessaries v. 6. The doing of this thus was that which would yeild him the reward And although this was not observed by Cephas and other Apostles v. 5. yet sure Cephas is not conceived to have sinned thereby but 't is positively said that t was lawfull for all v. 7. 11. 14. for as for Cephas and others though onely Paul would not use it v. 12. and accordingly both there v. 15. and after 2 Cor. 11. 9 10. he distinctly counts and calls this matter of rejoycing or boasting in respect to the reward which he was allowed to expect from God for it And so nothing can be more plain then that this was a 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 a voluntarie act of piety in that Apostle toward his Corinthians and so sure it was conceived by St Augustine Potuit Beatus Panlus ex Evangelio sibi victum quarere quòd maluit operari amplius erogabat Blossed Paul might have had his food for his preaching that he chose rather to labour for it with his hands was a greater liberality then he was bound to And St Chrysostome 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 he said not those words Act. 20. 35. because it was ill to receive but because it was better not to receive And again that it is 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 the fourth and highest degree of munificence 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 for one that preacheth and hath power to receive yet not to receive And on the place to the Corinthians 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 One was a praecept the other a virtuous action of his own choice 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 above the Commandment and 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 in this very respect 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 it hath a plentifull reward And again of the word 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 necessity he saith that it pertains to the command by which it became necessary 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 in opposition to the freedome in receiving i. e. the power to receive from the Corinthians v. 12. forementioned So again Theophylact 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 c. preaching the Gospell is a precept to me and so a debt from me and if I do it there is no great matter of excellence in it 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 but to preach without charging them is the honor of my will and in that respect there is place of boasting in this I may fitly rejoyce This I have set down thus largely to clear all difficulties or doubts in this matter and to shew how punctually home it comes to the matter for which it was brought to shew not onely the lawfulness but acceptation of such uncommanded performances now under the Gospell as well as the 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 under the Law The only exception he offers against this is that from v. 18. where what he doth he saith was done that he abuse not his power in the Gospel But saith he to abuse power is to sin c. But that is already answered that 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 signifies to use to his own advantage and not only to abuse Thus in Lysias 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 he took and used them and in Isocrates in Panegyr 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 to make a seasonable use of other mens actions by way of example in Plato 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Ep. 8. he hath not rightly used the gift And so 1 Cor. 7. 31. 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 using the world as if they used it not so it must be rendred in proportion to what goes before weep as though they wept not rejoyce as though they rejoiced not buy as though they possessed not and so the vulgar reads tauquam non utantur as if they used not And so Chrysostome on Act. 21. in the place even now cited doth thus paraphrase it 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 not to receive what he hath power to receive and so here Theophylact expressely interprets it 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 the word signifies simply to use 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 shewing that they which received sinned not a whit which is the direct contrary to the conclusion of this Diatribist from the same premisse And so Chrysostome also 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 by this expression he shewed that they which received are not worthy of accusations guilty of any fault which they must be if they are bound by any special call as the Diatribist cites from Chamier but against the whole contexture of the place to do what they did And so this may suffice for the second Instance so particular and that in the New Testament Sect. 13. The third of Paul 's going up to Ierusalem this under no precept No refusing to suffer no retarding of the Gospel The example of Christ and S. Paul at other times the testimony of Origen and confession of the Diatribist THe 3d instance was taken from Paul's going up to Hierusalem Act. 21. when being told by a Prophet v. 11. that bonds expected him there he might lawfully have avoided that danger and gone some other way and been justified by Mat. 10. 23. and yet in this conjuncture when he might have abstained he would yet needs go up v. 13. and so that was his 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Now to this saith he the like may be answered viz. that it was no free-will offering for though by the general allowance he might have fled
