Colossians3:5
Verſe 5. Mortifie therefore] Sin hath a ſtrong heart, and will not be done to death, but with much ado. Peccata ſapè raduntur, ſed non eradicantur. Something is done about ſins, little againſt them: as artificiall juglers ſeem to wound themſelves, but do not; or as plaiers ſeem to thruſt themſelves thorow their bodies, but the ſword paſſeth only thorow their clothes.
Covetouſneſſe Which is idolatry] For it robs God of (his ſlower) his truſt, and draws a man away from all the Commandments. Pſ. 119.36 See the Note on Eph. 5 5.
