John Trapp on Galatians 4:12

Verſe 12. Be as I am] No longer a legaliſt, as once, Philip. e.5, 8.

Ye have not injured me at all] He was above their buſſoneries and indignities.Sendeìra [illegible: 1 letter] [illegible: 1 letter]. When an ineonſiderate fellow had ſtricken Cate in the bath, and afterwards cried him mercy, he replied,Tacit. I remember not that thou didſt ſtrike me; Tu linguae, ego aurium Dominus, ſaid one to another that railed on him. I cannot be maſter of thy tongue, but I will be maſter of mine own ears. One having made a long and idle diſcourſe before Ariſtotle, concluded it thus,Plutar. degarrulit.

[non-Latin text not transcribed] Momus in Lucian tels Jupiter, It is in thy power whether any one ſhall vex or wrong thee. St Paul here ſhakes off the affronts and injuries offered unto him with as much eaſe, as once he did the Viper. Some would have ſwelled, and almoſt died at the ſight of ſuch a thing: he only ſhook it off, and there was no hurt done.
