Footnotes

1. 1 Timothy 2:6 A confirmation, because that even to the Gentiles in the secret of salvation now opened and made manifest the Apostle himself being appointed properly to this office, which he doth faithfully and sincerely execute.
2. 1 Timothy 2:7 Faithfully and sincerely: and by faith he meaneth wholesome and sound doctrine, and by truth, an upright and sincere handling of it.
3. 1 Timothy 2:8 He hath spoken of the persons for whom we must pray: and now he teacheth that the difference of places is taken away: for in times past, one only nation, and in one certain place, came together to public service: but now Churches or Congregations are gathered together everywhere (orderly and decently) and men come together to serve God publicly with common prayer, neither must we strive for the nation or for the purification of the body, or for the place, but for the mind, to have it clean from all offense, and full of sure trust and confidence.
4. 1 Timothy 2:8 He putteth the sign for the thing itself, the lifting up of hands, for the calling upon God.
5. 1 Timothy 2:8 Without these griefs and offenses of the mind, which hinder us from calling upon God with a good conscience.
6. 1 Timothy 2:8 Doubting which is against faith, James 1:6.
