CHAP. I.

* 1.1GRotius thinkes this Epistle in order of writing was before the former; but the order was inverted by those which gathered, and digested the Epistles.

Vers. 5. Counted worthy * 1.2] Some translations formerly had it make worthy. This is of Gods free acceptance of grace, and not of the merit of our constancy; and it is so likewise fitly translated, 11. v. But because the making worthy is referred to God, the translators were not so care∣full of the terme, seeing it might be understood that God by his grace makes us wor∣thy in his account. And the Rhemists have falsely translated their owne Latine Text, which is dignetur, that our God would vouchsafe, or accept as worthy; and not to make worthy as they have wilfully corrupted the Text to make it serve their heresie. Doctor Fulke.

Vers. 8. In flaming fire] In the fire or burning of flame, that is flaming, 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉,* 1.3 by an Hebraisme, in igne flammante. See 2 Pet. 3.10.

Vers. 10. To be admired in all them that beleeve] The Saints of God know most of Christ and his riches, yet then they shall admire him; admiration is the overplus of expectation. Admiratio oritur ex rerum novarum & magnarum intuitus. Zanchius.

Notes

* 1.1

Hanc Eposto∣lam, inter Paulinas ordine temporis secun∣dam esse, utpote proxime scrip∣tam post p••••o em ad Thessaloni∣censes, recte censent eruditi: De loco minus inter eos conve∣nit. Estius.

* 1.2

Loquitur hic apertè non de merito, sed de dignatiene gratuita: Quis enim meritus est vocari? Pareus. The proudest linguist in Rome, can∣not give one instance from any Classicall Author Divine or Prophane, where 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 signifies other then dignari. In our English to vouchsafe, to account, esteeme, or accept as worthy. Doctor Sclater.

* 1.3

In igne flam∣mae, id est Flam∣mante sive in flammato. Atque ita legit Ambrosius. Scire autem licet apud vulgatum interpretem esse in flamma ignis. Quo∣modo sanè Tertullianus legit adversus Marcionem l. 5. c. 16. Ego parum referre arbitror utro modo legatur. Nam si••e illud sive h••c dicas, sententia in idem recidit. Ignis flammae legitur Jesa. 4, 5. & Thren. 2, 3. flamma ignis Jesa. 29.8. Drus. Observat. Sac. l. 16. c. 13. Vide Zanchium & G••otium in loc.
