What was the occasion of this doctrine of the Apostle?
It may seem some of the Thessalonians misconstrued the words in his former Epistle; That we which live, and remain at the Lords coming, shall not prevent them that are dead; as if the Thessalonians, to whom Paul wrote, should live till then: which bred this error among them, that the day of judgement was at hand: and this in his second Epistle he confuteth by the Apostasy.
It may seeme some of the Thessalonians misconstrued ye words in his former Epistle; That we which liue, and remaine at the Lords comming, shall not preuent them that are dead; as if the Thessalonians, to whom Paul wrot, should liue till then: which bred this errour among them, that the day of iudgement was at hand: and this in his second Epistle he confuteth by the Apostasie.
