The Apostle closeth up the matter with an indignation, & with great vehemency of spirit he casteth out these words: But God forbid, 1&c. As if he should say: This carnal glory and ambition of the false apostles is so dangerous a poison, that I wish it were buried in hell, for it is the cause of the destruction of many. But let them glory in the flesh that list, and let them perish with their cursed glory. As for me, I desire no other glory but that whereby I glory and rejoice in the cross of Christ. After the same manner speaketh he also Rom. 5. We glory in our afflictions. Also in the .2. Cor. 12. Twill glory in mine infirmities. Here Paul showeth what is the glory and rejoicing of the Christians, namely to glory and to be proud in tribulations, reproaches, infirmities, &c.
