- 1Applications of Doctrine.
The first four are set down in this text: the whole Scripture is given by inspiration of God and is profitable. First to teach. Secondly, to convince. Thirdly, to correct. Fourthly, to instruct in righteousness, &c. 2. Tim. 3. 16. The fifth and last in this text: Whatsoever things are written afore time, are written for our learning, that we through Patience, and comfort of the Scriptures might have 1hope, Rom. 15. vers. 4. These thigns are profitable, saith the Apostle to Timothy. And these things are written for our learning, saith the same Apostle to the Church of the Romans, therefore by these things we must only profit and only learn by these: for as application is a concluding of one thing out of another; so these are the five heads from which all application must flow, and he that thus speaketh, attaineth to the purpose of S. Paul, as elsewhere •e noteth. He that prophecieth speaketh unto men, to edifying, to exhortation and to comfort, 1. Cor. 14▪ 3. That is to say, applieth the use of his doctrine to edification, exhortation, and comfort.
