Verse. 7. And intendeth to pervert the Gospel of Christ.
Ʋerse. 7. And intendeth to peruert the Gospell of Christ.
1That is to say, they do not only go about to trouble you, but also utterly to abolish and overthrow Christs Gospel. For ⟨p. 28⟩these two things the Devil practiseth most busily. First, he is not contented to trouble and deceive many by his false Apostles, but moreover he laboureth utterly to overthrow the Gospel by them, and never resteth till he have brought it to pass.2 Yet such perverters of the Gospel can abide nothing less, then to hear that they are the Apostles of the Devil: nay rather they glory above others in the name of Christ, and boast themselves to be the most sincere preachers of the Gospel.
