"Albeit the excellency of Paul's spirit wonderfully appeareth in other his Epistles, yet this epistle is a great witness, and a declaration of the same. For far passing the baseness of his matter, he fleeth as it were up to heaven, and speaketh with a divine grace and majesty. Onesimus servant to Philemon both robbed his master, and fled away, whom Paul having won to Christ sent again to his master, earnestly begging his pardon, with most weighty arguments proving the duty of one Christian to another, & so with salutations endeth."
Looks like someone in 1560 thought so.
