The Apostle beginneth this Chapter with the commendation of his Ministry, having ⟨p. 2⟩been put upon it by their undervaluing of him; yet so, as together with himself he commendeth them as his best and only Testimonial, and Letters of commendation, vers. 2. and so maketh way for himself to fall into a more set and large commendation of the glorious Gospel it self, whereof God hath made him so able a Minister to them, vers. 6. And because the excellency of any thing is best commended by comparing and setting by it something else that excels, in it self, and yet is exceeded by it; therefore he carrieth along his commendation of the Ministry of the Gospel through the whole Chapter▪ by comparing ⟨p. 3⟩it with the Law, and the Ministry of the Old Testament. This comparison is made by the Apostle,
