BEFORE the Apostle cometh to the substance and point of the Epistle, he doth wisely (according to his manner) draw attention to that he speaketh of. And therefore there is, as it were, a Preface of the Epistle unto the 14. verse: For as in a house, which is stately built there is a Porch to enter in by, so the Apostle, in this stately building of his hath first a Preface set before to draw attention: which he doth first from the authority of the Epistle, which we have heard drawn from his own person: Secondly, in the person of Timothy.
