Ch. I Motives Generalia

§. 2 Probanda particularia

5. Having succeeded in a sort of partition treaty, by which he divided the Christian world the world of Christianity the field of spiritual labour with the Apostles, a he was not backward /remiss/ in his labours /exertions/ in those exertions by which the profit in question was to be reaped, in the exertions necessary to convert it into a source of profit to himself. b

a Gal. ii 8, 9. 10.  Quere whether to quote it here, or only refer to it?

b Rom. xii. 3.

xv 25 to 28: xvi. 1. 2. I Cor. iv 9 to 14. I. Cor. ix 1 to 23. I Cor. xvi 1 to 3; 13 to 18. II. Cor. i 11 to 14. II. Cor. viii. 1 to 15. II. Cor ix. 1 to 15. II Cor. xi. 8.

Phil. ii. 25 to 30. iv. 1 to 19.

Thess. iii. 10 to 13

I Tim. vi 17 to 19.

6. In pecuniary emolument, power and reputation taken together, he succeeded in putting himself in possession of such a mass of the good things of this world, as formed an ample retribution for all the sacrifices he ever could have made. In particular in various places on various occasions he formed to himself a magnificent official establishment, including Assistants, Envoys, and Secretaries. c

c

7. In the course of his labours and his enjoyments, he was not backward in that strain of boasting and self-magnification, which is at once a proof of the possession of power, an exemplification of the exercise of it, and a means employed for the giving encrease to it. d e

d The quotation here brought to view may as to no inconsiderable proportion of the whole mass, be considered as forming an addition to the specimens of that sort of style for the designation of which, if exemplified in the discourses of a writer of the present time /day/, would be termed nonsensical the terms nonsense and nonsensical would be employed without scruple of reserve. {To his addresses to the Corinthians} Of this sort of display the Corinthians /people of Corinth/ seem to have been almost the only persons by whom the benefit of this sort of display was imparted.
