Paul — In this epistle St. Paul neither uses the title of an apostle, nor any other, as writing to pious and simple — hearted men, with the utmost familiarity. There is a peculiar sweetness in this epistle, unmixed with any sharpness or reproof: those evils which the apostles afterward reproved having not yet crept into the church.
