Philemon — Chapter 1
These annotations are from the original 1582 Rheims New Testament, produced by English scholars in exile at the English College of Rheims. The archaic spelling is preserved.
This content was digitized from the original 1609 Douay (Old Testament) and 1582 Rheims (New Testament) print editions by OCR. The OCR process sometimes confused print page numbers with verse numbers, and may have assigned annotations to the wrong chapter. Chapter and verse labels on this page reflect the OCR output from the original print pagination and may not correspond to canonical Scripture chapter/verse numbers. For canonical reference, consult a standard Douay-Rheims edition. The annotation texts themselves are authentic 1609/1582 Douay-Rheims content.
Verse 5
5. Toward al the Saints.) Faith and beleefe in Saints. The Apostle sticketh not to say, Charitie and faith in Christ and al his Saincts, which our captious Aduersaries count in Catholike mens speaches and writings, very absurd, feining that in al such we make no difference betwixt the loue we beare to Christ, and the loue we owe to our neighbours: betwixt the trust or beleefe we haue in God, and that which we haue in his holy Saincts. Malice and contention doth so blinde al Heretikes.
