30 And I beseech you brethren. By many places it is sufficiently known, how greatly Paul was hated in his own nation, for false slanders, as though he taught a falling away from Moses. He knew how much reproaches could do to oppress the innocent: and specially with those are carried with a rash zeal. Hereunto also came the testification of the spirit, whereof he maketh mention in the Acts.1 Whereby he was oftentimes forewarned, that bonds and afflictions were at hand for him at Jerusalem. Therefore the more danger he saw, the more he was moved. Hence came it he was so careful to commend his health unto the Churches: neither let us marvel that he was so careful over his life, wherein he knew so great danger of the Church to be handled.
