2 Cor. 1. 1. Paul an Apostle of Jesus Christ by the Will of God, and Timothy our Brother, unto the Church of God which is at Corinth, with all the Saints which are in all Achaia: Grace be to you, and Peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
The Preface to this Epistle is the same with other Prefaces. Our blessed Apostle had written a sharp Epistle to the Corinthians, especially reproving their tolerating of the incestuous person: that, his first Epistle took effect, though not so much as he desired, yet it prevailed so far with them, that they excommunicated the incestuous person, and likewise reformed divers abuses. Yet notwithstanding, it being a proud, factious, rich City, where there was confluence of many Nations, being an excellent Port, and Mart-Town; there were many proud, insolent teachers, which thought basely of St. Paul; and thereupon he writes this second Epistle: the scope whereof is partly Apologetical. Exhortatory.
