Modern spelling is a reading aid: the words are the author’s, only the spelling is modernized. Original shows the page as printed, with the transcription marks.
By gesture one salutes another, when they kiss one another, 2 Cor. 13. 12. 1 Thess. 5. 26. or stretch out their hands and arms one towards another: or bow the knee, or put off the hat, or use other like gestures, according to the custom of the Country. These were such greetings as the Pharisees affected, Matth. 23. 7.
In absence one salutes another by message or writing. By message, when one is sent to another for that purpose: By writing, in a Letter or otherwise.
Here the Apostle salutes in and by a Letter.
This doth justify and commend the like practice amongst Christians: and that not only in absence, as here: but also in presence, as in other places.
