John Trapp on 1 John 4:5

Verſe 5. They are of the World] i. e. The ſeducers: fit lettice for ſuch lips, Dignum patellâ operculum. Vosinfernates eſtis, Ye are from beneath, I am from above, ſaith Chriſt, Job. 8.23.

There fore ſpeak they of the World] The water riſeth not (unleſſe forced) above the fountain. Out of the ware-houſe, the ſhop is furniſhed. Carnall teachers gratifie their hearers with pleaſing poſitions. the Papiſts in their petition to King James for a toleration, plead this as an argument, That their religion is agreeable to mens nature; and indeed it is an alluring, tempting, bewitching religion, giving way to all licentiouſneſſe and laſciviouſneſſe, So Mahomet in his A[illegible: 1 letter]choran tels his followers concerning venery, That God did not give men ſuch appetites to have them fruſtrate, but enjoyed, as made for the guſt of man, not for his torment; and a great deal more of ſuch paltry ſtuff.
