1This fourth is chiefly profitable for those congregations which are sound in the pureness of doctrine, and are pure moreover in holiness of life, but do not with a fervent zeal enough persecute open heresies. There be other fruits and commodities, which we shall speak of in order. But like as in all other epistles that goo before, first is set forth, to whom the epistle is sent, and from whom it cometh: So also in this epistle Thyatirene both the superscription as they term it,2 & the subscription is expressly set. It is sent to the Messenger of the church of Thyatira, & so to the whole church, as I have told you before oftentimes. And Thyatira is a noble and famous city of Lydia,3 in Asia, on the river of Hermus: where we read that the woman was borne, that sold purple, which was converted to Christ by s. Paul in the 16. of the Acts, it was a populous city, & much frequented, so that it is no marvel though men diversly given, unclean, curious, & heretics did associate & join them selves to the church of God. The Geographers write many things of that famous city of Asia.
