[10] Girolamo Zanchi (1516-1590) was an Italian Reformed theologian. At the age of fifteen, he entered the monastery of the Augustinian Order of Regular Canons. He came under the personal influence of Peter Martyr Vermigli; and the writings of the Reformers, especially Calvin, had a profound impact upon his thinking. Zanchi served as Professor of Old Testament at Strassburg (1553-1563), and Professor of Theology at Heidelberg (1568-1577). He wrote commentaries on Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, and 1 and 2 Thessalonians. [11]An exposition of all St. Paul’s epistles together with an explanation of those other epistles of the apostles St. James, Peter, John and Jude. [12] Daniel Featley (1582-1645) was an English churchman and scholar. He was a thorough-going Calvinist, but committed to the Church of England, episcopacy, and Charles I. Although seated in the Westminster Assembly, he refused the Solemn League and Covenant, and defended episcopacy.

[23]Scholia in epistolas Divi Pauli. Gasparo Contarini (1483-1542) was an Italian cardinal and diplomat. He was supportive of dialogue with emerging Protestantism. [24] William Estius (1542-1613) labored first as a lecturer on Divinity, then as the Chancellor at Doway. Theologically, he bears the imprint of the modified Augustinianism of Michael Baius. In his commentary writing, as exemplified in his Commentarii in Sacram Scripturam and Commentarii in Epistolas Apostolicas, he focuses on the literal meaning of the text; and he is widely regarded for his exegetical skill and judgment. [25]Postillæ in epistolas et evangelia. [26] That is, William Estius, born in Gorcum, a county of Holland. [27]Collatio in omnes divi Pauli apostoli epistolas.
