Verse. 12. Ye have not hurt me at all.
Verse. 12. Ye haue not hurt me at all.
As if he said: Why should I be angry with you, or of a malicious mind speak evil of you, seeing ye have nothing offended me?1 Why then sayest thou that we are perverted, that we have forsaken thy doctrine, that we are foolish, bewitched? &c. These things do witness that we have offended thee. He answereth: Ye have not offended me, but your selves: and therefore I am thus troubled, not for mine own cause, but for the love I bear unto you. Think not therefore that my chiding did proceed of malice, or any evil affection. For I take God to witness, ye have done me no wrong, but contrariwise ye have bestowed great benefits upon me.
