John Trapp on Philippians 3:2

Verſe 2. [non-Latin text not transcribed] Hom. 11 Beware of dogs] That is, Seducers and Sectaries, who though dead dogs, yet will be barking at godly Miniſters. And though the dogs of Aegypt would not move their tongues againſt Gods Iſrael, Exod. 11.7. yet theſe greedy dogs, Iſa. 56. can both bark and bite better men then themſelves, being ſet on by the devil, Homines perfrictae frontis, impudent as dogs.

Beware of evil workers] Deceitfull workers. 2 Cor. 11.13. that ſeem to build stair-caſes for heaven, when indeed they dig deſcents down to hell, taking great pains to very evil purpoſe.

Beware of the conciſion] For Circumciſion: as Diogenes called Zeno's [non-Latin text not transcribed] and Euclides [non-Latin text not transcribed].La[illegible: 1 letter]rt. The holy Scriptures have many ſuch elegant, and pleaſant paſſages, as Pro. 25.27 Hoſ. 4.15. Galat. 5.12. Iſa. 5.7, &c. There is one that ſenſeth it thus.D Baſtw. Beware of the conciſion, that is, of thoſe that make diviſions, and cut the Church into little pieces, and ſucking Congregations making ſeparation. So Piſcator, Qui conantur vos ab Eccleſia Deireſcindere, who ſeek to ſunder you from the Church. The Donatiſts affirmed, That there were no true Churches, but theirs, and were alſo divided among themſelves, In minutula fruſtula, as Austin ſaith.
