2 Timothy3:8

8 Now as Jannes, and Jambres, withstood Moses , so do these also resist the truth : men of corrupt minds , reprobate concerning the faith .

Concerning this resistance of Moses by Iannes and Iambres, the holy Scripture saith nothing but in this Text. It is said by Interpreters, that they were two brethren, the chief of Pharaohs Magicians, who opposed Moses in the Miracles he wrought Exod. 7.11. whose names might be known in Pauls time by Tradition, or the publike writings of the Iews.

So will corrupt Teachers under the Gospel resist the Truth of the Gospel published by Christs Ministers.

Men whose hearts are corrupted with sordid Lusts.

[non-Latin text not transcribed], of no sound judgment, as to the Doctrine of Faith, or not approved of God, or good men as to their Sentiments about our Faith.
