Verse. 14. By whom the world is crucified to me, & I unto the world.
Verse. 14. By vvhom the vvorld is crucified to me, & I vnto the vvorld.
This is Pauls manner of speaking. The world is crucified to me, that is,1 I judge the world to be damned. And I am crucified to the world, that is: the world again judgeth me to be damned. Thus we crucify and condemn one an other. I abhor all the doctrine, righteousness and works of the world as the poison of the Devil. The world again detesteth my doctrine and deeds, and judgeth me to be a seditious, a pernicious, a pestilent fellow, and an heretic. So at this day the world is crucified to us, and we unto the world. We curse and condemn all mans traditions concerning Masses, Orders, vows, will-worshippings, works, & all the abominations of the Pope & other heretics, as the dirt of the Devil. They again do persecute & kill us as destroyers of religion and troublers of the public peace.
This is Paules maner of speaking. The world is crucified to me, that is,1 I iudge the world to be damned. And I am crucified to the world, that is: the world againe iudgeth me to be damned. Thus we crucifie and condemne one an other. I abhorre all the doctrine, righteousnes and works of the world as the poyson of the Deuil. The world againe detesteth my doctrine and deedes, and iudgeth me to be a sedicious, a pernicious, a pestilent felow, and an heretike. So at this day the world is crucified to vs, and we vnto the world. We curse and condemne all mans traditions concerning Masses, Orders, vowes, wil-worshippings, works, & all ye abhominations of ye Pope & other heretikes, as the dirt of the Deuill. They againe do persecute & kill vs as destroyers of religion and troublers of the publike peace.
