[1] Meinardus Schotanus (1593-1644) was a Dutch Reformed pastor and theologian, serving as Professor of Theology at Franeker (1626-1637), and at Utrecht (1637-1644). He produced commentaries on Philippians and 1 Peter. [2]Jean Daillé (1594-1670) was a Huguenot minister and Biblical scholar; theologically he was inclined to the tenets of Amyraldianism. He produced commentaries on Philippians, Colossians, 1-2 Timothy, and Titus. [3] Petrus van der Hagen (1641-1671) was a Dutch Reformed pastor. [4] Henry Airay (c. 1560-1616) was Anglican minister and theologian. His staunch Calvinism and Anti-Catholicisim brought him into conflict with Archbishop Laud. A specimen of his preaching is preserved in his Commentary on the Epistle to the Philippians. [5] Christoph Hoffmann (died c. 1553) was a Lutheran pastor and Biblical scholar, producing commentaries on Philippians, 2 Thessalonians, and Titus. [6] Juan Antonio Velazquez (1585-1669) was a Spanish Jesuit.
