Secondly, It may be thought that the Apostle calls them Saints, in the judgment of charity, because they did outwardly profess their faith and obedience in Christ, even as Paul saith of Silvanus, 1 Pet. 5. 12. A faithful brother, as I suppose; but a judgement of charity must be according to truth, and he knew that all in Corinth were not truly Saints. And as for that expression of Pauls concerning Silvanus; Calvin, Estius and others, do not relate the phrase ([Greek or Hebrew]) to a faithful brother, but to the [Greek or Hebrew], the few things, or briefly, as added for Modesty sake; and indeed if it were related to Silvanus, it would not commend his fidelity, but rather give occasion to doubt of it. But if we attribute it to Silvanus, the word [Greek or Hebrew] is not [Greek or Hebrew], or [Greek or Hebrew], it signifieth a firm and undoubted judgment upon good consideration, therefore our English word (suppose) doth not so well answer it.
