0 ! Lest the Thessalonians shulde thinke that Paul neglected them, because he went to other places, rather then came to them, he writeth vnto them and exhorteth them to pacience and other frutes of faith, nether to be moued with that vaine opinion of suche as taught that the comming of Christ was at hand, forasmuche as before that day there shulde be a falling away from true religion, euen by a great parte of the worlde, and that Antichrist shulde reigne in the Temple of God finally commending him self to their prayers, & encouraging them to constancie, he willeth them to correct suche sharpely, as liue idelly of other mens labours, whome, if they do not obey his admonitions, he commandeth to excommunicate.
