2 Peter2:1
CHAP. II. Verſe 1. Who privily ſhall bring in]
OR, Fraudulently ſoist in falſe doctrines under the title of truth, and pretext of piety. Some truths they ſhall teach, [non-Latin text not transcribed]. the better to perſwade to their falſhoods. Together with the gold, ſilver, and ivory of orthodox tenets, they have ſtore of apes and peacocks, as Solomons ſhips had. Sunt mala miſt a bonis, ſunt bona mista malis.
Denying the Lord that brought them] Or, Freed them, viz. from their former idolatries and enormities, Ʋt verbum [non-Latin text not transcribed] frequentius ſignificat, ſaith one. Or, that bought them, as they conceited, and others charitably imagined: but it proved otherwiſe, as appeared by their apoſtaſie.
