About this epistle hath ever ben much doubting 1& that among great learned men, who should be the author thereof divers affirming that it was not Pauls, partly because the style so disagreeth, and is so unlike his other Epistles, and partly because it standeth in the second Chapter, this learning was confirmed to us ward: that is to say, taught us by them that heard it them selves of the Lord. Now Paul testifieth Gala. 1. that he received not his Gospel of man, nor by man, but immediately of Christ, and that by revelation. Wherefore say they, seeing this man confesseth that he received his doctrine of the Apostles, it can not be Pauls, but some Disciple of the Apostles. Now whether it were Pauls or no I say not, but permit it to other mens judgements, neither think I it to be an Article of any mans faith, but that a man may doubt of the author.
