1Here Paul casteth out very flames of fire, and his zeal is so fervent that he beginneth also almost to curse the Angels. Although, saith he, that we our selves, even I and my brethren Timothy and Titus, and as many as teach Christ purely with me (I speak not now of those seducers of consciences): yea or if an angel from heaven preach unto you &c. notwithstanding I would rather, that I my self, my brethren, yea & the very Angels from heaven also, should be holden accursed, then that my Gospel should be overthrown. This is in deed a vehement zeal, that he dare so boldly curse, not only him self and his brethren, but also even an Angel from heaven.
