St. Paul in his Preaching, defended the Doctrine of justifying Faith: Afterwards arose Jewish Seducers, which taught, that Salvation was not only from Faith, but came by the observation of the Mosaical Law. Our Apostle forbad the abuse of Christian Liberty; after this, there arose Corrupters of the Gentiles, which perswaded the Ephesians, that Fornication, Covetousness, and Drunkenness, were no Sins, but natural Inclinations. That the Ephesians might avoid the danger of these malicious Instruments of Satan, Paul writes an Epistle unto them, containing the confirmation of Doctrine, and the information of Life; wherein he proves and directly manifests, that God 's gifts and graces proceed not from any merit of fore-seen Work of ours,
