John Trapp on 2 Corinthians 4:9

Verſe 9. Perſecuted but not for ſaken] The Church may be ſhaken,Concuti, non excuti, Duris ut ilex [illegible: 1 letter]onſa bipennibus. not ſhivered, perſecuted, not conquered. Roma cladibus animoſior, ſaid one. 'Tis more true of the Church: She gets by her loſſes, and as the Oak ſhe taketh heart to grace from the maims and wounds given her, Niteris incaſſum Chriſti ſubmergere navem, Tluctuat, at nunquam mergitur illaratis.

As the Pope wrote once to the great Turk,

Cast down, but not destroied] Impellere poſſunt (ſaid Luther of his enemies) ſed totum proſternere non poſſunt: crudeliter me tractare poſſunt, ſed non extirpare: dentes nudare, ſed non devorare: occidere me poſſunt, ſed in totum me perdere non poſſunt. They may thruſt me, but not throw me, ſhew their teeth, but not devout me, kill me, but not hunt me, &c.
