Commentaries:
Adam Clarke
Thou doest faithfully - . Kypke thinks that is put here for , and that the phrase signifies to keep or preserve the faith, or to be bound by the faith, or to keep one' s engagements. Thou hast acted as the faith - the Christian religion, required thee to act, in all that thou hast done, both to the brethren at home, and to the strangers - the itinerant evangelists, who, in the course of their travels, have called at thy house. There is not a word here about the pilgrims and penitential journeys which the papists contrive to bring out of this text.
