First, Paul speaking to God for them. Secondly, Paul Speaking from God to them.
First, He spake to them from God, and then prayed to God for them. I shall divide his speech to them from God, into these two parts.
First, He spake something by way of Vindication of himself. Secondly, He spake something by way of Exhortation to them.
First, You may observe in Paul's Farewell-speech, something by way of vindication of himself; and it is not amiss for a Minister, when he is to depart from a people, to say something in vindication of himself: there are enough that will, when his back is turned, lay falsehoods & scandals to his charge, which they never durst do to his face; Samuel knew this, and therefore provided for it, (in 1 Sam. 12.1.) And Samuel said unto them all, Behold, I have hearkened to your voice, and have made you a King; now behold the King walks in and out before you; I am old, and of grey-hairs, and must now leave you. I have walked before you from a child to this day, and now witness against me before the Lord, whose Ox have I taken? or whose Ass have I kept? whom have I done wrong to? or whom have I hurt? and of whose hand have I received a bribe, to blind mine eyes therewith? He stood here upon the justification of his life and carriage towards them, that he had not been a self-seeking, or oppressing man unto them: And thus did Paul vindicate himself to the Ephesians; give me leave to divide Pauls vindication into four or five parts.
