John Trapp on Mark 3:2

Verse. 2. And they watched him] So carnall men do still [non-Latin text not transcribed]. watch and pry into professors and their conversation, 1 Pet. 3. 2. curiously observing what they may catch and carp at. But it is a brave thing to thrattle envy, to stop an [illegible: 1 word] mouth, to deny them occasion to blaspheme, as Christ did; to lead convincing lives, asAct. and Mon Bradford and [illegible: 1 word] did, whom neither their friends could sufficiently praise, nor their foes find any thing to fasten on.
