John Trapp on Matthew 23:1

CHAP. XXIII.

Verse 1. Then spake Iesus to the multitude, &c.] CHrist having confuted and confounded the Scribes and Pharisees, turns him to the people and to his Disciples: and that he might do nothing to the detriment of the truth, he here [illegible: 1 word], that they despise not the doctrine of the Pharisees, so far [illegible: 1 word] it was sound and sincere without leaven; but try all things, [non-Latin text not transcribed]. [illegible: 3 words]. Deligas [illegible: 2 words]. [illegible: 1 word] fast that which was good. Be advised, and remember to search into the truth of what you hear, was the counsell of Epicharmus.
