[258:3] The view here taken is corroborated by the authority of
Irenaeus, iii. c. 14, Sec. 2:--"In Mileto enim convocatis episcopis et
presbyteris, qui erant ab Epheso, _et a reliquis proximis civitatibus_,"
&c.

that _not alone at Ephesus, but almost throughout all Asia_, this Paul
hath persuaded and turned away much people." Acts xix. 26.

[260:1] 1 Pet. v. i, 2.

[260:2] In Acts xx. 28, these designations are identical. The
exhortation in 1 Pet. v. 5--"Yea, all of you be _subject one to
another_"--is obviously addressed to _ministers_, and implies their
mutual subordination. This command can be acted upon only by ministers
who are confederated and who hold the same ecclesiastical status.
Lachmann adopts a somewhat different reading of this verse without
changing the sense, for he puts a semi-period after [Greek: allelois].
According to his Larger Edition of the Greek Testament, the commencement
of the verse should be rendered thus--"Likewise ye younger (presbyters)
submit yourselves unto the elder, AND ALL TO ONE ANOTHER." I here
suppose _presbyters_ to be understood, as the apostle is speaking to
them in all the preceding part of the chapter.

There is an ingenious article on this subject in the "Bibliotheca Sacra"
for April 1855. Its author, the Rev. Isaac Jennings, advocates the view
propounded in this chapter.
