For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because when ye received the word of God, which ye heard of us, ye received it no• as the word of men▪ but, as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe. That is, 1 The external word, which ye heard of us, 2 It is the instrument of the Spirit. Ye received it not as the word of men, but (as it is indeed) the word of God. 3 Its not the internal word, for it was not received of all that heard it, for ver. 14, 15, 16. the Jews that heard it, received it not.

2 Conclusion. The word preached of it self, is not a dead letter, as Schwenkfeldians say with Antinomians, 1Paul calleth the Law a dead Letter, Because it teacheth what we should do, but promiseth not the Spirit of Grace, to obey as the Gospel doth. And punit delinquents punisheth eternally delin•u••ts, saith Chrysost, 2 Cor. 3. hom. 7. and Oecumenius ▪ [Greek or Hebrew] ⟨p. 28⟩
