Here again he excuseth the Galatians, and most bitterly reproveth the false Apostles. As though he would say: Ye Galatians are borne in hand, that the Gospel which ye have received of me, is not the true and sincere gospel, and therefore ye think ye do well to receive that new gospel which the false apostles do teach, and that it is better then mine. I do not so much charge you with this fault, as those disturbers which trouble your consciences, and pull you out of my hand.1 Here you see again, how vehement and hot he is against those deceivers, and with what rough and sharp words he painteth them out, calling them troublers of the Churches: which do nothing else but seduce and deceive innumerable poor consciences, giving occasions of horrible mischiefs and calamities in the congregations. This great mischief we also at this day are constrained to see, to the great grief of our hearts, and yet are we no more able to remedy it, then Paul was at that time.
Here againe he excuseth the Galathians, and most bitterly reproueth the false Apostles. As though he would say: Ye Galathians are borne in hand, that the Gospell which ye haue receaued of me, is not the true and sincere gospell, and therefore ye thinke ye do well to receaue that new gospell which the false apostles doe teach, and that it is better then mine. I doe not so much charge you with this fault, as those disturbers which trouble your consciences, and pull you out of my hand.
