On II Peter 1:1:
“Those he describes here from their faith, which is amplyfied: first, from the certainty of it, they had obtained it, that is, gotten it by lot, as the Word signifieth, namely, through the singular providence of God, who had bestowed upon every one of them, that measure of faith which they had. Secondly, from the quality and worth of it: it was of like price with the faith of the Apostles, worthy of the same respect that theirs was. Thirdly, from the meanes whereby they did obtaine it, even the righteousnesse of Christ, that is, his fidelity and truth in keeping his promises. Him he commendeth unto them; first, from the worth of his person, God; secondly, from his office, our Saviour.” – A. Symson, 15.
