In this Epistle St. Paul comforts those who are now reformed by hisadmonitions to them in the former and absolves the incestuous man ondoing penance, whom he had before excommunicated for his crime. Hence hetreats of true penance and of the dignity of the ministers of the NewTestament. He cautions the faithful against false teachers and thesociety of infidels. He gives an account of his sufferings and also ofthe favours and graces which God hath bestowed on him. This secondEpistle was written in the same year with the first and sent by Titusfrom some place in Macedonia.

1:9. But we had in ourselves the answer of death, that we should nottrust in ourselves, but in God who raiseth the dead.
1:10. Who hath delivered and doth deliver us out of so great dangers: inwhom we trust that he will yet also deliver us,
