THE ARGVMENT OF THE FIRST EPISTLE OF S. PAVL TO TIMOTHEE.
After
the Epistles to the Churches, novv folovv his
Epistles to particular persons, as to Timothee, to Titus,
vvho vvere Bishops: and to Philémon.
Of Timothee vve reade Act. 16. hovv S. Paul in his
visitation tooke him in his traine at Lystra, circumciding
him before, because of the Ievves. he vvas then a Disciple,
that is to say, a Christian man. Aftervvard the Apostle
gaue him holy Orders, and consecrated him Bishop, as he testifieth in both these Epistles
vnto him. 1. Tim. 4. v. 14. and 2. Tim. 1. v. 6.
He vvriteth therfore vnto him as to a Bishop, and him self expresseth the scope
of his first Epistle, saying: These things I vvrite to thee, that thou maiest
knovv hovv thou oughtest to conuerse in the House of God, vvhich
is the Church. note And so he instructeth him (and in him, al Bishops) hovv to gouerne
both him self, & others. and touching him self, to be an example & a spectacle
to al sortes, in al vertue. as touching others, to prohibit al such as goe about to preach
othervvise then the Catholike Church hath receiued, and to inculcate to the people
the Catholike faith: to preach vnto yong and old, men and vvomen: to seruants, to
the riche, to euery sort conueniently. Vvith vvhat circumspection to giue orders, &
to vvhat persons: for vvhom to pray: vvhom to admit to the vovv of vvidovvhod
& c.
This Epistle vvas vvritten, as it seemeth, after his first emprisonm&ebar;t in Rome,
vvhen he vvas dismissed and set at libertie. and therevpon it is, that he might say
here, I hope to come to thee quickly. to vvit vnto Ephesus, vvhere note he had
desired him to remaine. although in his voiage to Hierusalem, before his being at
Rome, he said at Milétum to the Clergie of Ephesus, vp&obar; probable feare: And now
behold I knovv, that you shal no more see my face. note
Vvhere it vvas vvritten, it is vncertaine: though it be commonly said, at Laodicia. note
Vvhich seemeth not, because it is like he vvas neuer there, as may be gathered
by the Epistle to the Colo&esset;ians, vvritten at Rome in his last trouble, vvhen he
vvas put to death.
