This chapter, being the last Of this epistle, is chie?y made Up Of charitable and friendly salutations, and commendations Of particular persons, according to' the earliness and strength of their several graces, and their labour of love for the interest of God and his people. In ver. 17, he warns them not to be drawn aside from the gospel doctrine which had been taught them, by the plausible pretences and insinuations which the corrupters Of the doctrine and rule Of Christ never want from the suggestions Of their carnal wisdom. The brats Of soul-destroying errors may walk about the world in a garb and disguise of good words and fair speeches, as it is in the 18th verse, by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts Of the simple.' And for their encouragement to a constancy in the gospel doctrine, he assures them that all those that would dispossess them of truth, to possess them with vanity, are but Satan's instruments, and will fall under the same captivity and yoke with their principal ver. 18: 2 The God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly.'
