9 For what thanks can we recompense to GOD again for you, for all the joy wherewith we rejoice for your sakes before our God?

The Apostle continueth in declaring his earnest affection towards them, and how greatly he rejoiced to hear of their consta•ie in the faith, and of their love and agreement together. For he feared it might have happened to them, as it had done to others. He preached to the Galatians, but they gave care to fail Apostles, and went back from that he had 1taught them. I am in fear of you (sayeth he) least I have bestowed on you labour in vain. And, ye did run well, who did let you, that 2you did not obey the trueth? it is not of the persuasion of him that calleth you. The Devil hath bewitched you, and beguiled your eyes. Such is the subtlety and the power of Satan in the children of disobedience. Judas ⟨p. 95⟩
