Certainly Paul saith, that he hath declared all the counsel of God, to those unto whom he preached the Gospel. And Christ also thus speaketh unto his Apostles: I call you not servants from henceforth, for the servant knoweth not what his Lord doth, but you have I called friends: for all things that I have heard of my Father, I have made known to you.

This peace which he wisheth unto Gaius that beloved, containeth not only health of the body, but also of the soul as it hath been often said. It followeth.2
