THE CHURCH HISTORY OF BRITAIN; FROM THE BIRTH OF JESUS CHRIST UNTIL THE YEAR M.DC.XLVIII. ENDEAVOURED BY THOMAS FULLER, D.D. PREBENDARY OF SARUM. A NEW EDITION, IN SIX VOLUMES, BY THE REV. J. S. BREWER, M.A. VOLUME III. OXFORD: AT THE UNIVERSITY PRESS. M.DCCC.XLV. TO THE RIGHT HONOURABLE LIONEL CRANFIELD, EARL OF MIDDLESEX, BARON CRANFIELD OF 13. T. PAUL gave a great charge to Timothy to bring the cloak which he left at Troas, but especially the parchments. Here we have the inventory 2 Tim. iv. of a preacher's estate, consisting of a few clothes and books, what he wore, and what he had written. But the apostle's care was not so much concerned in his clothes (which might be bought new) as in his writings, where the damage could not be repaired. |
