THE ARGVMENT OF THE SECOND EPISTLE OF S. PAVL TO THE THESSALONIANS.
The
second to the Thessalonians hath in the title as the
first: Paul and Siluanus and Timothee, &c. And
therfore it seemeth to haue bene vvritten in the same
place, to vvitte, at Corinth, vvhere they remained note a
yere and sixe moneths, & straight vpon their answer
to the first epistle.
First he thanketh God for their increase, and perseuêrance
(comforting them againe in those persecutions)
and praieth for their accomplishment. Secondly he assureth
them, that the day of Iudgement is not at hand, putting them in remembr&abar;ce
vvhat he told them thereof by vvord of mouth, vvhen he vvas present (as therfore
he biddeth them aftervvard note to hold his Traditions vnvvritten, no lesse then the
vvritten,) to vvitte, that all those persecutions and heresies, raised then, and aftervvard
against the Catholike Church, vvere but the mysterie of Antichrist, and not
Antichrist him self. but that there should come at length a plaine Apostasie, & th&ebar;
(the vvhole forerunning mysterie being once perfitly vvrought) should folovv the
reuelation of Antichrist himself in person (as after all the mysteries of the old Testament,
Christ Iesvs our Lord came himself in the fulnes of time.) And then
as length after all this the day of Iudgement and second comming of Christ shal
be at hand, and not before, vvhatsoeuer pretense of vision, or of some speach of mine
(saith S. Paul) any make to seduce you vvithal, or of my former epistle, or any
other. For vvhich cause also, in the end of this epistle, be biddeth them to knovv his
hand, vvhich is a signe in euery epistle.
Lastly he requesteth their praiers, and requireth them to keepe his commaundements
and Traditions, namely that the poore vvhich are able get their ovvne
liuing vvith vvorking, as he also gaue them example, though he vvere not bound
thereto.
