set for the defence of the Gospel] 〈in non-Latin alphabet 〉, signifieth properly to lie, and so it may be here taken, and then the meaning is, some out of love preach the Gospel to further my account at the last day, knowing that I lie in prison for the Gospel sake, and by that my imprisonment am hindered in the exercise of my Apostolicall function. If we retain the common translation, I am st for the defence of the Gospel, then the meaning is, God hath appointed me a Champion of the Gospel, and set me in my station, to maintain it; which, through the power of his grace, I will keep, whatsoever dangers or terrours are before me.
