CHAP. IV.

Vers. 4. KNow how] There is a peculiar mystery in every branch of Christianitie; I have learned, saith the Apostle how to want and abound. to possesse his ves∣sell in sanctification and honour] That is, his body which is the instrument of the soule, and containing it as in a vessell. The Hebrewes call all Instruments vessells.* 1.1 As if he had said, that is indeed true sanctification agreeable to the will of God, and plea∣sing to him, that is throughout; outwardly in the body, keeping that pure and unde∣filed; and inwardly in the heart, rooting from thence the lust of concupiscence.

Vers. 5. Not in the lust of concupiscence] That is, not in the inward burning lust stirring up to filthinesse, comming from inward concupiscence.

Vers. 11. And that ye study a 1.2] The Greeke signifies to contend as it were for ho∣nour.

To be quiet; the Greeke word signifies to rest, and live in silence; and to doe your own businesse] That is, doe the necessary workes of your callings that belong to you. Perkins.

He forbids two vices, which for the most part goe together, idlenesse and curi∣osity.

Vers. 12. And that ye may have lack of nothing] Or of no man, that is not need re∣liefe and help of any man, or of any thing.* 1.3

Vers. 13. Sorrow not as those that have no hope] As if he had said, sorrow if you will; but do not sorrow as they that have no hope.* 1.4 That is a sorrow with nothing but sorrow; from which they have no hope of inlargement or freedome.

Vers. 16. With a shout] The word which the Apostle useth here,* 1.5 signifies properly the encouragement, which Marriners use one to another; when they all together with one shout put forth their Oares, and row together. It is called a clamour, a vo∣ciferation, a shout, and varied by our Translators, and Expositors, according to the originall of the word to be clamor hortatorius, suasorius, and jussorius. The voyce of the Archangell is added (saith Calvin) by way of exposition, shewing what that shout shall be; the Archangell shall exercise the office of a cryer, to cite the living and dead to Christs Tribunall.

à Lapide saith that these words with those following, And with the trump of God] are a figure called Hendyadis. With the voyce of the Archangell, which is the Trump of God; so called, 1. By an Hebraisme, that is great and loud, so as to be heard through∣out the world. Secondly, because it shall goe before God the Judge. 3. Because it shall be terrible such as becomes the divine Majesty.
