7. From Revel. 2. 24, 25. There is a charge, that which ye have already hold fast till I come, and this charge is given to two sorts of persons. First [Greek or Hebrew] vobis, to you Bishops or Pastors, for there were more of them then one in Thyatira, as likewise in Philippi, Phil. 1. 1. Antioch, Act. 13. 2. and 15. 35. Ephesus, Act. 20. 17. 28. 36. 37. The like may be observed of other primitive Churches. Secondly, [Greek or Hebrew] to the rest of you, viz. of the flock and body of the Church. As the charge cannot be restricted to the Church of Thyatira, no more can it be restricted to the Ministry in Thyatira. But in them Christ chargeth all both Ministers and Church Members to hold fast the Jewell of the Gospel till he come again.
