I Argument

Ch. Motives to Conversion

Money &c craved

Service

At the close of this Epistle viz. from verse the 9 th to verse the 21., we have variety of anecdotes concerning adherents past as well as present, we have variety of anecdotes

II. Tim. iv. 9 to 21

1 Apostate, one more, viz. Demas. His offence was - loving the present world: in plain language not loving Paul’s service. Next but one /In the next Epistle/, viz. in his Epistle /the one/ to Philemon, of four persons named /stiled/ by Paul his fellow labourers, Demas is one. Either this was not the same Demas or if the same he acted the last as well as the first part of the prodigal son, or the Epistle to Philemon &c though in the book placed last was in the order of time written before that second /this/ Epistle to Timotheus.

2. Envoys mentioned as sent - Crescens to Galatia; Titus to Dalmatia; Tychicus to Ephesus.

3. Envoy recalled, Mark.

4. Adherents /Retainers/ /Residents/ left at different places - Erastus at Corinth; Trophimus at Miletum (Miletus) on account of sickness. In | | we have seen Erastus in that city, and stiled Chamberlain of it, yet in attendance on Paul in other places. For a time at least this office of his, whatever it was, must therefore have been a Sinecure: an argument this - nor let it pass unimproved[?] - for proving the divine right of Sinecures.

Behold here - and where else will be found so good an one? - an argument for Sinecures.

5. Persons to be saluted - Prisca and Aquila (the married pair, his old friends and partners in the tentmaking trade): a and the household of Onesiphorus.

a

6. Persons sending the like compliments 1. Eubulus; 2 Pudens; 3. Linus; 4. Claudia; 5. All the brethren. As it says not all the other brethren, it looks as if the persons thus specially named were in relation to the company thus lumped together without distinction of name, persons of rank say in the language of the time and place elders, occupying situations in the official establishment.

Ch Motives to Conversion

§ 2 Love of Money’s worth

§. 3. 2 Services various

§. 3. Service in various expensive shapes claimed and received and claimed

1. Acts xv. 39. 40. 39. And the contention was so sharp between them, that they departed asunder one from the other: and so Barnabas took Mark, and sailed on to Cyprus:

40. And Paul chose Silas, and departed, being recommended by the brethren unto y e grace of God Chose Silas: viz: out of an unspecified number unspecified whom he had equally at his command.

2. Acts xvii. 14. 15. 14. and then immediately the brethren sent away Paul to go (from Berea Acts xvii. 10.) as it were to the sea: but Silas & Timotheus abode there still.

15. And they that conducted Paul brought him unto Athens: and receiving a commandment unto Silas & Timotheus for to come to him with all speed, they departed. Number[?] unspecified, unlimited, note here his attendants.

3. Acts xix. 22. So he sent into Macedonia (viz. from Ephesus {Acts xix. 1. 17. &c.}) two of them that ministered unto him, Timotheus and Erastus; { but} he himself staid in Asia (viz. at Ephesus ib. 23 to 29) for a season.

4. Acts xix. 29. ‘And the whole city being stirred up /excited against Paul/ by the makers of silver shrines for the temple of Diana) ‘was filled with confusion: and having caught Gaius and Aristarchus men of Macedonia, Paul’s companions in travel, they rushed with one accord into the theatre.’

Here then at Ephesus, the two here mentioned are but so many out of a greater number the amount of which is not mentioned: and of these two Timotheus was brought by him from Derbe or Lystra in Lycaonia: a very considerable distance a to Ephesus at which place Paul had already made a stay of more (it is not easy to say /it appears not exactly/ how much more) than 2 years and three months (Acts xix 1. 8. 10.)

In the persons of this Gaius and this Aristarchus we have /see/ two other persons living with him also at Ephesus and under the name of travelling companions forming part of his sect[?] /household establishment/ after having been brought or come thither from Macedonia. b

a state how much from the map.

Chronology of Paul’s Epistles

Rom. XV. 24 25. 26. 27.

Proves that this letter written from Corinth was written after he had received the contribution from Macedonia and Achaia that he speaks of in & Cor and before the date of the last of those letters to the Corinthians. But I Cor. was written before his separation from Barnabas as per Acts XV. 39: for he speaks of Barnabas as with him.

I Cor. IX. 6

I Cor. was it written?

In Rom XV. 25. He says he is going to Jerusalem to minister to the Saints, viz. to deliver the contribution of Macedonia & Achaia.

Was this the visit with Barnabas (Visit II) or after the rupture with Barnabas? If so, it never was accomplished. Unless it was the Visit with Barnabas when they went on the other errand.

Epistle to the Ephesians is stated at the end as being written from Rome — if so affords no evidence of the perjury — So likewise that to the Philippians — and that to the Colossians

Thessalonians I & II are stated at the end as written from Athens. N.B. Per Acts XVII. 1 He is then for the first time at Thessalonica

Per Acts XVII. 15. He is then at Athens.

Per Acts XVIII. then (for the first time?) at Corinth.

Hebrews which stands last and is stated as being written from Italy. They came after the above. These are the last to sets of persons except to come then those to Timothy, Titus & Philemon.

Chronology continued

I Cor. XVI. 1. Now concerning the collection for the saints as I have given order to the Churches of Galatia, even so do you.

N.B. This must have been before the date of the Epistles we have to the Galatians. This being before the visit to Rome that written from Rome, after Visit III to Jerusalem.

Acts XX. 31. Paul’s speech to Ephesians at Miletus, by the space of three years I ceased not &c. He continued therefore so long at Ephesus.

Sufferings boasted.

II. Tim. III. II. Persecutions &c at Antioch, Iconium, Lystra. These the only persecutions he can mention when making the most of them to Timothy. Confront this with his detail about the 39 stripes &c.

Persecution

Titus I. 15 Unto the pure all things pure

or §. Paul’s Character

Asceticism — Paul preaches Titus III. We ourselves serving divers lusts &c in reference to I. Cor. III. II

To be quoted in the of Paul’s condemnation of Peter &c for doing what himself did. Rom. II. 1 Therefore thou are inexcusable, O man &c.

To be quoted in proof of the perjury Rom II. 26. 29. circumcision needless

Competition proofs

Rom. III. 8. we slanderously reported to say Do evil that good may come.

I. Cor. XVI. 9. ‘many adversaries — he who then entered.
