THE ARGVMENT OF THE FIRST EPISTLE OF S. PAVL TO THE THESSALONIANS.
Hovv
S. Paul vvith Silas (or Siluanus) and Timothee according
to a vision calling him out of Asia into Macedonia,
came to Philippi being the first citie thereof, vve reade Act. 16.
And hovv againe from Philippi, after scourging and imprisoning
there, he came to Thessalonica being the head citie of that
countrie, vve reade Act. 17. vvhere after 3 vveekes preaching,
the Ievves stirred the citie against them, and pursued them also to Beræa: so that
Paul vvas conueied fromthence to Athens, vvhere he expected the c&obar;ming of Silas
& Timothee from the foresaid Beræa in Macedonia, but receiued them (as vve
haue Act. 18.) at Corinth in Achaia.
Hauing therefore left the Thessalonians in such persecution, and being careful
to knovv hovv they did in it, he vvas desirous to returne vnto them, as he signifieth
in the 2 chapter of this Epistle v. 17. But (as he there addeth) Satan hindered
vs. therefore tarying himself at Athens, he sendeth Timothee vnto them. at
vvhose returne vnderstanding their constancie, he is much comforted, as he declareth
c. 3. So then they are all three together at the vvriting of this Epistle, as also
vve haue in the title of it: Paul and Siluanus and Timothee to the Church
of the Thessalonians. And therefore it seemeth to haue bene vvritten at Corinth,
not at Athens: because after the sending of Timothee to Thessalonica, they
mette not at Athens againe, but at Corinth.
The first three chapters of it are, to confirme and comfort them against the tentations
of those persecutions. The other tvvo are of exhortation, to liue according to
his preceptes, namely in sanctification of their bodies, and not in fornication: to
loue one an other: to comfort one an other about their frendes departed, vvith the
doctrine of the Resurrection, and vvith continuall preparation to die: the laietie to
obey, and the Cleargie to be diligent in euery point of their office.
