2 Corinthians10:4

Verſe 4. Are not carnall] i.e. Weak, oppoſed here to mighty. The fleſh is weak as water, therefore called the old man, old leaven, &c. Theſe weak weapons of the falſe Apoſtles (here intimated and taxed) are humane eloquence, artificiall compoſures, &c. of thoſe Verbaliſts, Qui exceptis verbis tinnulis & emendicatis, nihil loquuntur, as Hierom hath it.

But mighty through God] Note here the Apoſtles modeſty, Not we, ſaith he, but our weapons are mighty, and not thorow us that wield them, but thorow God that works by and with them. See the Note on 1 Cor. 15.10.

To the pulling down of ſtrong-holds] Forts, Munitions, Trenches, Cages of foul ſpirits inhabiting mens hearts.
