Exercitatio II. Of the Penman of the Epistle to the Hebrews.
Knowledge of the Penman of any part of Scripture not necessary. Some of them utterly concealed. The Word of God gives Authority unto them that deliver it, not the contrary. Prophets in things wherein they are not actually inspired, subject to mistake. St. Paul the Writer of this Epistle. The hesitation of Origen. Heads of Evidence. Uncertainty of them who assign any other Author. St. Luke not the Writer of it, Nor Barnabas. The Epistle under his name Counterfeit. His Writing of this Epistle by sundry Reasons disproved. Not Apollos. Nor Clemens. Nor Tertullian. Objections against St. Pauls being the Penman. Dissimilitude of Style. Admitted by the Ancients. Answer of Origen, rejected. Of Clemens, Hierom, &c. rejected likewise. St. Paul in what sense [Greek or Hebrew]. His Eloquence and Skill. Causes of the difference in Style, between this and other Epistles. Coincidence of Expressions in it and them. The Epistle [Greek or Hebrew]. Answer of Hierom; Rejected. Of Theodoret. Of Chrysostom. Prejudice of the Jews against St. Paul. Not the Cause of the Forbearance of his Name. The true Reason thereof. The Hebrews Church State not Changed. Faith Evangelical educed from Old Testament Principles and Testimonies. Th•se pressed on the Hebrews, not mere Apostolical Authority. Hesitation of the Latin Church about this Epistle; answered. Other Exceptions from the Epistle it self; removed. Arguments to prove St. Paul to be the Writer of it. Testimony of St. Peter, 2 Epist. 3. v. 15, 16. Considerations upon that Testimony. The second Epistle of St. Peter Written to the same Persons with the First. The First Written unto the Hebrews in their Dispersion. [Greek or Hebrew] what. S. Paul wrote an Epistle unto the same Persons to whom St. Peter wrote. That, this Epistle. Not that to the Galatians. Not one lost. The Long-suffering of God, how declared to be salvation in this Epistle. The Wisdom ascribed unto St. Paul in the Writing of this Epistle wherein it appears. The [Greek or Hebrew] of it. Weight of this Testimony. The suitableness of this Epistle unto those of the same Author. Who competent Judges hereof. What required thereunto. Testimony of the first Churches; or Catholic Tradition. Evidences from this Epistle its self. The general Argument and Scope. Method. Way of Arguing. All the same with St. Pauls other Epistles.
