John Trapp on Matthew 19:20

Verse 20. All these things have I kept] Lie and all: as now [illegible: 1 word] mendacium nemo bominum de se dixit. Pareus [illegible: 1 word] bypocritam se gloiatur. [illegible: 1 word]. the Popish Pharisees dream and brag that they can keep the Law, and spare. They can do more then, then any that ever went before them, Psal. 143. 3. Job 15. 14. Jam. 3. 2. Oecolampadius saith, that none of the [illegible: 1 word] lived out a full thousand years (which is a number of perfection) to teach us, that here is no perfection of [illegible: 1 word]. Davids heart smote him for doing that which [illegible: 1 word] highly r commended him for. What [illegible: 1 word] I yet?] Gr. Wherein am I yet behinde with God? [non-Latin text not transcribed]. He thought himself somewhat aforehand, and that God, belike, was in his debt. Truely many now-a daies grow crooked and aged with over-good opinions of themselves, and can hardly ever beset right again. They stand upon their comparisons, I am as good as thou: nay upon their disparisons, I am not as this Publican. No, for thou art worse; yea for this, because thou thinkest thy self better. This arrogant youth makes good that of Aristotle, who, differencing between age and youth, makes it a property [non-Latin text not transcribed]. of young men, to think they know all things, and to affirm lustily their own placits. He secretly insults over our Saviour [illegible: 1 word]. 1. as a triviall teacher, and calls for a lecture beyond the [illegible: 1 word], worthy therefore to have been sent to Anticyra: surely as when Drusus in his defence against a nimble Jesuite that called him [illegible: 1 word], alledged that [illegible: 1 word] must be in sundament is fidei, the [illegible: 1 word] replied that even that assertion was heresie: So when this young man affirmed that he had ever kept the Commandments, and asked what lack I yet? Christ might well have said, thou art therefore guilty of the breach of all the Commandments, because thou takest thy self to be keeper of all: and thou therefore lackest every thing, because thou thinkest thou lackest nothing.
