endeavour_n to_o amend_v these_o i_o say_v be_v they_o which_o be_v overtake_v with_o sin_n and_o have_v the_o burden_n that_o paul_n command_v we_o to_o bear_v in_o this_o case_n let_v we_o not_o be_v rigorous_a and_o merciless_a but_o after_o the_o example_n of_o christ_n who_o bear_v and_o forbear_v such_o let_v we_o bear_v and_o forbear_v they_o also_o for_o if_o he_o punish_v not_o such_o which_o thing_n notwithstanding_o he_o may_v just_o do_v much_o less_o ought_v we_o so_o to_o do_v verse_n 3._o for_o if_o any_o man_n think_v himself_o to_o be_v somewhat_o when_o in_o deed_n he_o be_v nothing_o he_o deceive_v himself_o here_o again_o he_o reprehend_v the_o author_n of_o sect_n and_o paint_v they_o out_o in_o their_o right_a colour_n to_o wit_n that_o they_o be_v hard_a heart_a colour_n merciless_a and_o without_o compassion_n such_o as_o despise_v the_o weak_a &_o will_v not_o vouchsafe_v to_o bear_v their_o burden_n but_o require_v all_o thing_n strait_o and_o precise_o like_o wayward_a husband_n and_o severe_a schoolmaster_n who_o nothing_o can_v please_v but_o what_o they_o themselves_o do_v who_o also_o will_v be_v always_o thy_o bitter_a enemy_n unless_o thou_o commend_v what_o so_o ever_o they_o say_v or_o do_v &_o in_o all_o thing_n frame_v thyself_o according_a to_o their_o appetite_n of_o all_o man_n therefore_o they_o be_v the_o proud_a and_o dare_v take_v upon_o they_o all_o thing_n and_o this_o be_v it_o that_o paul_n say_v here_o they_o think_v themselves_o to_o be_v somewhat_o that_o be_v to_o say_v that_o they_o have_v the_o holy_a ghost_n that_o they_o understand_v all_o the_o mystery_n of_o the_o scripture_n that_o they_o can_v not_o err_v etc_n etc_n wherefore_o paul_n add_v very_o well_o that_o they_o be_v nothing_o but_o that_o they_o deceive_v themselves_o with_o the_o foolish_a persuasion_n of_o their_o own_o wisdom_n and_o holiness_n they_o understand_v nothing_o therefore_o either_o of_o christ_n or_o of_o the_o law_n of_o christ_n for_o if_o they_o do_v they_o will_v say_v brother_n thou_o be_v infect_v with_o such_o a_o vice_n &_o i_o be_o infect_v with_o a_o other_o god_n have_v forgive_v i_o ten_o thousand_o talent_n ●1_n and_o i_o will_v forgive_v thou_o a_o hundred_o penny_n but_o when_o they_o will_v require_v all_o thing_n so_o exact_o and_o with_o such_o perfection_n &_o will_v in_o no_o wise_n bear_v the_o burden_n of_o the_o weak_a they_o offend_v many_o with_o this_o their_o sharpness_n and_o severity_n who_o begin_v to_o despise_v hate_v and_o shun_v they_o and_o seek_v not_o comfort_n or_o counsel_n at_o their_o hand_n nor_o regard_v what_o or_o how_o they_o teach_v whereas_o contrariwise_o pastor_n ought_v so_o to_o behave_v themselves_o towards_o those_o over_o who_o they_o have_v take_v charge_n that_o they_o may_v love_v and_o reverence_v they_o not_o for_o their_o person_n but_o for_o their_o office_n and_o christian_a virtue_n which_o especial_o ought_v to_o shine_v in_o they_o paul_n therefore_o in_o this_o place_n have_v right_o paint_v out_o such_o severe_a and_o merciless_a saint_n when_o he_o say_v they_o think_v themselves_o to_o be_v somewhat_o that_o be_v to_o say_v be_v puff_v up_o with_o their_o own_o foolish_a opinion_n and_o vain_a dream_n they_o have_v a_o marvellous_a persuasion_n of_o their_o own_o knowledge_n and_o holiness_n and_o yet_o in_o very_a deed_n they_o be_v nothing_o and_o do_v but_o deceive_v themselves_o themselves_o for_o it_o be_v a_o manifest_a beguile_a when_o a_o man_n persuade_v himself_o that_o he_o be_v somewhat_o when_o in_o deed_n he_o be_v nothing_o such_o man_n be_v well_o describe_v in_o the_o .3_o of_o the_o apocalips_n in_o these_o word_n thou_o say_v 3.17_o i_o be_o rich_a and_o increase_v with_o good_n

for_o the_o desire_n of_o vainglory_n be_v a_o odious_a and_o curse_a vice_n it_o be_v the_o occasion_n of_o all_o evil_n and_o trouble_v both_o common_a weal_n and_o conscience_n and_o special_o in_o

yet_o principal_o the_o apostle_n speak_v of_o the_o work_n of_o the_o ministry_n and_o inveigh_v against_o those_o vainglorious_a head_n which_o with_o their_o fantastical_a opinion_n do_v trouble_v

the_o false_a apostle_n when_o they_o see_v that_o paul_n preach_v the_o gospel_n pure_o to_o the_o galathians_n and_o that_o they_o can_v not_o bring_v any_o better_a doctrine_n they_o begin_v to_o

they_o win_v the_o favour_n of_o the_o galatian_n &_o bring_v paul_n into_o hatred_n among_o they_o therefore_o the_o proud_a &_o vainglorious_a do_v join_v these_o iii_o vice_n together_o together_o first_o they_o be_v greedy_a of_o glory_n second_o they_o be_v marvellous_a witty_a &_o wily_a in_o find_v fault_n with_o other_o man_n do_n and_o say_n thereby_o to_o purchase_v the_o love_n the_o

of_o stomach_n that_o they_o dare_v venture_v upon_o all_o thing_n therefore_o they_o be_v pernicious_a and_o pestilent_a fellow_n who_o i_o hate_v even_o with_o my_o very_a heart_n for_o they_o seek_v their_o own_o and_o not_o that_o which_o be_v of_o jesus_n christ_n 2.27_o etc_n etc_n against_o such_o paul_n speak_v here_o as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v such_o vainglorious_a spirit_n do_v

for_o the_o galathians_n may_v say_v why_o do_v thou_o inveigh_v so_o bitter_o against_o our_o teacher_n he_o for_o that_o they_o be_v jealous_a over_o we_o for_o that_o which_o they_o do_v they_o

paul_n in_o deed_n confess_v that_o they_o be_v very_o zealous_a towards_o the_o galatian_n heretic_n but_o their_o zeal_n say_v he_o be_v not_o good_a now_o by_o this_o colour_n and_o subtle_a

judge_v you_o which_o of_o our_o zeal_n be_v better_o i_o or_o they_o which_o be_v good_a and_o godly_a which_o be_v evil_a and_o carnal_a therefore_o let_v not_o their_o zeal_n so_o easy_o seduce_v

will_v be_v content_a that_o i_o also_o shall_v be_v belove_v of_o you_o as_o well_o as_o they_o but_o they_o hate_v our_o doctrine_n and_o therefore_o their_o desire_n be_v to_o have_v it_o utter_o
