John Trapp on 2 Corinthians 11:12

Verſe 12. That I may cut off occaſion] There were thoſe that waited for it, as earneſtly as a dog doth for a bone, as we [illegible: 1 letter]y. Habuerunt ſuos cuculos omnes docti & hearoici quolibet tempore, ſaith Melancthon. Every Zopyrus hath his Zoilus.

That wherein they glory] They, likely, had feathered their neſts, and ſo might well afford to preach gratis. Paul, though not ſo well under-laid, would not come behinde them in that neither. He would not be leſſe buſie (though he laboured hard for it) in building ſtair-caſes to heaven, then they were in digging deſcents down to hell.
