1 Corinthians12:3
Verſe 3. Calleth Jeſus accurſed] As the wicked Jews do at this day in their daily praiers and abbreviatures: And as the Gentiles did of old, and theſe Corinthians among the reſt.Quorum nihil cogi poſſe dicun. tu[illegible: 1 letter] qui ſunt revera obriſtiani. Plin. epiſt. But now they would rather die then do ſo: as Pliny writes to Trajan the Emperour, that he could never force any that were Chriſtians indeed, either to invocate the gods, or to do ſacrifice before the Emperours image, or to curſe Chriſt.
And that no man can ſay, &c.] That is, No man can with the fiduciall aſſent of his heart, acknowledge Chriſt to be the only Lord, whom he is to worſhip by the lame impulſions, by which another curſes and blaſphemes him, but by ſuch peculiar motives as are ſuggeſted and revealed unto him by the holy Ghoſt.
