2 Corinthians7:2

Verſe 2. Receive us] Gr. Make room for us in your hearts and houſes. Set wide open the everlaſting doors, [non-Latin text not transcribed]. Locum date. that the King of glory may come in, triumphantly riding upon us his white horſes, Revel. 6 2.

We have wronged no man] Miniſters muſt ſo live, that they may, if need be, glory of their innocency and integrity, as did Moſes, Samuel, Paul, Melancthon.

We have corrupted no man] viz. As the falſe Apoſtles had done with their leaven of falſe Doctrine, which eateth as a canker, 2 Tim. 2.17. or a gangrene, which preſently over-runs the parts, and takes the brain. Protagoras in Plato boaſted that of thoſe ſixty years that he had lived, he had ſpent fourty in corrupting of youth.

We have defrauded no man] We have cunningly made ſale of no man, as thoſe old impoſtours, that made prize of their priſoners, 2 Pet. 2.3. And as thoſe Popiſh Muſcipulatores or Mice-catchers, as the ſtory calleth them, that raked together their Peter-pence, and other moneys here in England by moſt deteſtable arts. Polydore Virgil was one of theſe ill officers, that left not ſo much money in the whole Kingdome ſometimes, as they either carried with them, or ſent to Rome before them.
