1 Thessalonians5:13
Verſe 13. [non-Latin text not transcribed] Apud Grae[illegible: 1 letter]os majori in honre habebantur Philoſophi quam ortores. [illegible: 1 letter]llienim recte vi[illegible: 1 letter] endi, &c. Lact[illegible: 1 letter]ntiu[illegible: 1 letter]. Very highly] Gr. More then exceedingly: Turks and Papiſts ſhall elſe condemn us, who honour every hedge-prieſt of theirs, and have them in ſingular eſteem, above their merits. The Grecians gave great reſpect to their Philoſophers above their Oratours, becauſe theſe taught them how to ſpeak, but thoſe how to live well.
For their works ſake] Which is high and honourable, divine and heavenly, a worthy work, 1 Tim. 3.1. Such as both in the preparation to it. and execution of it draweth them to God, keepeth them with God, and to be ever mindefull of God, and no leſſe active for God, Epheſ 4 12. by gathering together the Saints, and building up the body of Chriſt.
And be at peace among your ſelves] So ſhall your Paſtour have the better life, and follow his work with more content & comfort.
