The ARGUMENT and ANALYSIS of the second Epistle to the CORINTHIANS.

THe occasion of writing this second Epistle was, to vindicate his Ministery from contempt, and his person from divers imputations laid upon him, by the false Apostles: And to this end, he professeth his sincere affection to the Corinthians, and faithfull carriage in the whole course of his Ministery; and being inforced thereunto, he relates at large, both his sufferings for Christ, and the Visions and Revelations he received from him.

The Epistle consisteth of: 1. An excuse of himself for not coming to them according to promise, Chap. 1.
2. A deprecation for the incestuous person, (who had been excommunicated) that he might be restored again to the Church, Chap. 2.
3. A justification of his Ministery against the calumnies of false Teachers, Chap. 3, 4, 5.
4. An Exhortation to Christian duties in generall, Chap. 7. And in particular, to a liberall contribution to the poor Saints at Jerusalem, Chap. 8, 9.
5. A contestation with his emulous adversaries, and a commemoration of his ma∣nifold trials, and the happy issue of them, Chap. 10, 11, 12.
6. A denunciation of severity, and the power of his Apostleship against obstinate sin∣ners, Chap. 13.
