THE holy Apostle St. Paul, as appears in the beginning of the Chapter and Epistle, finds some at Ephesus, who troubled the Church with needless, and with fruitless Doctrine; and therefore if you consult the third and fourth Verses of this Chapter, you will find he besought Timothy to abide at Ephesus, when he went into Macedonia, that he might charge some, that they teach ⟨p. 2⟩no other Doctrine [Greek or Hebrew] Teach Doctrines contrary to what he had taught; or Doctrines contrary to the General Tenor of the Gospel. Such Teachers he calls accursed, Gal. 1. 8.
